| velko_ | pfifo, yep. but she does not understand the command. so she cannot modify it approprieately. besides all of the command require sudo and are dangerous if are mistyped or misunderstood | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| pfifo | velko_, thats why you dont run commands that you dont understand | 00:00 |
| chalcedony | velko_, pfifo it's ok i would need to find directions to create a new user.. but also this is why i asked. | 00:01 |
| velko_ | chalcedony, sudo adduser test | 00:01 |
| chalcedony | velko_, fair enough :) | 00:02 |
| velko_ | chalcedony, after that try to login in the gui as the user test | 00:02 |

| lewey1988 | I have a laptop - compaq nx6110 I was considering replacing windows xp with ubuntu, would ubuntu work well with it? or perhaps a lighter version? it has an intel pentium m processor around 1.6ghz with 512mb of ram, onboard graphics. I'd like to use it for wordprocessing, watching 10bit videos and facebook any advice? | 00:04 |
| Jordan_U | !lubuntu | lewey1988 | 00:05 |
| ubottu | lewey1988: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 00:05 |
| apwbdjp | lewey1988, try Ubuntu, if that's not fast enough for you, use a Ubuntu with a lighter desktop, lubuntu would be a great choice | 00:05 |
| escott | CharminTheMoose, i dont believe so but /proc/meminfo should give you kernel usage stats | 00:05 |
| lewey1988 | thanks for the advice guys | 00:05 |
| Omar | guys | 00:06 |
| Nine_9 | is it just here or omgubuntu is down since thursday? | 00:06 |
| Omar | how can i install Vmware workstation in ubuntu | 00:06 |
| Omar | im using ubuntu 11.10 | 00:06 |
| Omar | i would like to install vmware | 00:06 |
| apwbdjp | Omar, I think you have to buy it, the Linux version | 00:06 |
| pfifo | Omar, use virtualbox | 00:06 |
| bastidrazor | Omar: VMWare is not free. you have to pay for it. the 'player' is free but workstation is not. | 00:07 |
| Omar | Hmmm that's why | 00:07 |
| pfifo | Omar, use virtualbox, its a good clone, and its free | 00:08 |
| scientes | how do i use ALSA instead of pulseaudio? | 00:08 |
| CharminTheMoose | escott, well, the buffers/cache +- line of free -m reports 13MB used. And the 8 userspace processes' 'resident memory' adds up to about 10.5MB. So the other 3MB is unaccounted for. | 00:09 |
| scientes | i am trying to get multiple users using sound at the same time | 00:09 |
| scientes | and i dont know if i can do that with pulseaudio | 00:09 |
| orionsonofneptun | why cant i delete files on thumb drive with ubuntu 11.10 delete button dont work i can drag to trash and it says it a read only file | 00:10 |
| helpanoob | was wondering if aptoncd is the way to go if I wanted to backup my apps as is right now ? | 00:10 |
| apwbdjp | scientes, Actually I think pulse can do it, it's a sound server | 00:10 |
| orionsonofneptun | it wont delete it | 00:10 |
| chalcedony | velko - it acts like test doesn't exist. i was root when i made the user. | 00:10 |
| apwbdjp | scientes, I mean I've already shared sound between two computers, with pulse, so between users it should be usuable | 00:10 |
| velko_ | orionsonofneptun, because the thumb drive is write protected? in hardware | 00:10 |
| nishttal2 | how can i check which window decorator is running (metacity or compiz) | 00:11 |
| orionsonofneptun | how to overcome this issue | 00:11 |
| apwbdjp | helpanoob, aptoncd will backup the apps, but NOT the configuration | 00:11 |
| velko_ | chalcedony, what do you mean? what acts like if the user does not exist? the login screen? | 00:11 |
| Fyodorovna | nishttal2, what is the release and desktop? | 00:11 |
| nishttal2 | Fyodorovna, 11.10 unity.. | 00:12 |
| helpanoob | apwbdjp, so what would recommend then? | 00:12 |
| escott | orionsonofneptun, who owns the folder what does ls -l /media/* say | 00:12 |
| * Nine_9 don't understand how linuxmint scored almost twice the ubuntu score on distrowatch... | 00:12 | |
| Fyodorovna | nishttal2, compiz is runing it, unity is a plugin in compiz. | 00:12 |
| apwbdjp | orionsonofneptun, try accessing it as a superuser, Alt+F2, then gksu nautilus, it will open a nautilus session as superuser, use that to access the thumb drive | 00:12 |
| skgelli | hello have ubuntu 11.04 cannot update to 11.10. update manager says no updates to install. have run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade with 0 installed as result | 00:12 |
| chalcedony | velko it comes up my husband's name, i clicked other, and entered test as the name, and the pass i gave it, but it makes a noise, and goes back to my husband's lgoin. | 00:12 |
| apwbdjp | orionsonofneptun, I'm warning you: CLOSE that nautilus session as soon as you're done. A root nautilus does not ask for comfirmation before deleting files, and is dangerous to play with. | 00:13 |
| Slart | skgelli: there is a switch somewhere to make it look for any upgrades or only LTS upgrades.. try changing that one | 00:13 |
| pfifo | skgelli, your looking for apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:13 |
| nishttal2 | Fyodorovna, i see... is it possible to make the title bars transparent? | 00:13 |
| skgelli | will check | 00:13 |
| skgelli | thanks | 00:13 |
| velko_ | chalcedony, ok. so this means that the problem is not with some config files in your husbands home directory. it's something else | 00:13 |
| Slart | skgelli: and apt-get dist-upgrade will not upgrade to a new version of ubuntu | 00:13 |
| apwbdjp | helpanoob, You could try backing up your entire /, that will save the system exactly as it is, as some sort of snapshot | 00:13 |
| orionsonofneptun | alt f2 what does that do | 00:13 |
| Fyodorovna | nishttal2, I don't know offhand. | 00:13 |
| scientes | apwbdjp, agreed that pulse can do pretty cool things | 00:13 |
| apwbdjp | orionsonofneptun, it opens up a prompt to type a command | 00:14 |
| orionsonofneptun | alt f2 how do i use it do i type terminal | 00:14 |
| chalcedony | velko_, i see, how can we find out what else is causing the errors, please? | 00:14 |
| nishttal2 | Fyodorovna, ok np thanks | 00:14 |
| helpanoob | apwbdjp, so what app would allow me to do this | 00:15 |
| apwbdjp | orionsonofneptun, you do Alt+F2, then you type the command. or you open up a terminal (with Ctrl+Alt+t) and you type the command there | 00:15 |
| apwbdjp | helpanoob, rsync on the command line is a good way to do it, hold on I'll see if I can find you a good tutorial | 00:15 |
| scientes | apwbdjp, but HOW do i do it? | 00:15 |
| velko_ | chalcedony, i'm not familiar with this problem. if reinstalling gnome-power-manager and reconfiguring gnome-desktop (as in the link you provided) does not help, i have no idea | 00:15 |
| nishttal2 | is it possible to run emarald theme manager in unity? | 00:15 |
| chalcedony | velko_, ouch. | 00:16 |
| chalcedony | velko_, we have kind of a lot of important stuff on there. | 00:16 |
| OerHeks | !emerald | 00:17 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 00:17 |
| velko_ | chalcedony, don't worry. if you can ssh to the machine and create new user, the data is there and you can get it. the trick is to find out what causes the problem | 00:17 |
| velko_ | chalcedony, have you looked also at the other suggestions on that page you linked to? the part about /media? | 00:18 |
| chalcedony | velko_, if i had to guess he broke something when he was playing around with the odd location of adobe9 | 00:18 |
| uni4dfx | Is there a CLI mail client that supports multiple domains? | 00:18 |
| apwbdjp | helpanoob, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync small tutorial on rsync and grsync (gui version of it) | 00:19 |

| fellayaboy | how do i turn on compiz in ubuntu 11.10 gnome 3 | 00:19 |
| apwbdjp | helpanoob, otherwise, you could take a look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem, there are many other tools listed | 00:19 |
| escott | fellayaboy, you dont run gnome 3 | 00:19 |
| velko_ | chalcedony, there is also a suggestion that you ran out of space. can you pastebin the result of these commands: "ls /media" and "sudo df -h"? | 00:19 |
| fellayaboy | escott i dont get it | 00:20 |
| zaba_ | jako | 00:20 |
| escott | fellayaboy, gnome 3 doesnt use compiz | 00:20 |
| fellayaboy | how can i make it run...is their an easy way escott | 00:20 |
| escott | fellayaboy, no | 00:21 |
| fellayaboy | >:( | 00:21 |

| OctoByte | Gaming4JC, I have setup my router to use the OpenDNS servers directly. Maybe could try that. | 00:28 |
| apwbdjp | Gaming4JC, why can't it be edited? What happens when you try? | 00:29 |
| apwbdjp | OctoByte, I agree, I believe it's best. | 00:29 |
| Gaming4JC | apwbdjp: gets overwritten | 00:29 |

| Burrito` | shawnboy, might be only one part of the hard drive that is damaged, but from my experience, the damage spreads if the head is damaged. | 00:35 |
| shawnboy | any suggestions how to rescue LTS? | 00:35 |

| Church | i wonder when (if?) ubuntu will introduce software raid & lvm in base installer. i find it hard to believe if that will overcomplicate installer much if moved under some 'advanced disk layout' that common joes won't be touching | 00:48 |
| escott | Church, more likely they just switch to btrfs | 00:48 |
| mkultra_ | just wait for it to get more common | 00:48 |
| k_sze | At some point I also considered running a torrent tracker to do the file transfer because it would also give me the power to resume if anything goes wrong. :P | 00:48 |
| dax | Church: never | 00:49 |
| mkultra_ | i see linux as overtaking windows in the next 3-5 years if game manufacturers can be persuaded to moving to nix | 00:49 |
| Church | escott: can btrfs support functionality of md raid/lvm like mirroring, pvmove, lvextend, striping? | 00:50 |
| WebDawg | mkultra_, they would have to focus on one distro. | 00:50 |
| WebDawg | Cause the implications of support on all os would be crazy. It would be upto downstream to port etc. | 00:50 |
| mkultra_ | yeah? linux from scratch? generic tar files sources? | 00:51 |
| escott | Church, its all in the plan, they way it does raid is a bitter different than mdraid (its not a pure raid but if you ask for mirroring then it ensures it has two copies on different disks, but the on disk layout is not mirrored) in many ways its better because the disks need not be the same size | 00:51 |
| mkultra_ | it wouldnt be that difficult if people had a decent game plan setup | 00:51 |
| WebDawg | Nah, they would need something like | 00:51 |
| WebDawg | This game works on ubuntu. | 00:51 |
| Church | escott: they need not be same size with md raid too | 00:51 |
| WebDawg | A guaranteed simple solution so when people get the game they do not get fucked. | 00:52 |
| mkultra_ | linux is linux if you know what your doing | 00:52 |
| pfifo | !language | WebDawg | 00:52 |
| ubottu | WebDawg: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 00:52 |
| WebDawg | How many average gamers know what they are doing mkultra_ ? | 00:52 |
| Church | mkultra: beleave me. linux will NOT be gaming platform except in some preloaded consoles. i've tried hard for many years. few native binaries, few games with wine or dosbox. experience mostly is horrible. and manurfacturers cannot be persuaded to support linux. | 00:52 |
| mkultra_ | not many i guess, its not that much more difficult that windows to run linux, linux is easier if u know whats going on with it | 00:53 |
| escott | Church, btrfs can do raid 1 mirroring across different disk sizes. i thought that was impossible in mdadm | 00:53 |
| k_sze | Android is a gaming platform. And it is Linux. :P | 00:53 |
| mkultra_ | quake 3 on raspberry pi is exciting lol | 00:54 |
| Church | escott: but you can make partitions of same sizes and mirror those. | 00:54 |
| Kernel_Panic | mkultra_, Raspberry Pi is cheap, but is revolutionary since it's a $35 rig running 1080P | 00:54 |
| mkultra_ | i had a problem with my installers wanting to remove files when i selected to format the partitions this morning lol | 00:55 |
| escott | Church, as im saying btrfs is more flexible. take X random drives and put them together, add them all to the same btrfs volume and say you want Y mirrors and every file will be mirrored on at least Y disks (if that is possible) | 00:55 |
| Kernel_Panic | mkultra_, Are you implying you've got your hands on an R-Pi already? Jealous. | 00:55 |
| mkultra_ | yeah 35 dollar rig 1080p rules... | 00:55 |
| Church | escott: for flexibility there is lvm. | 00:55 |
| mkultra_ | no | 00:55 |
| mkultra_ | im rocking a traditional laptop | 00:55 |
| mkultra_ | hp dv9000, its fun making the buttons on it work 4 linux | 00:56 |
| mkultra_ | i found a recent usb tactile feedback illuminated keyboard | 00:56 |
| escott | Church, then use LVM, your question was "are they likely to have lvm/mdadm in the default installer" and the answer is "no, they are more likely to just switch to btrfs and then all that is unnecessary" | 00:56 |
| Church | escott: i just always disliked having to use different installer or dropping down to CLI with ubuntu, when there for years been very usuable lvm gui configuring in redhat based installers | 00:57 |
| mkultra_ | razar black widow, i need one, this keyboards junk | 00:57 |
| Kernel_Panic | mkultra_, I suggest Logitech | 00:58 |
| mkultra_ | logitech dont do tactile feedback | 00:58 |
| Kernel_Panic | mkultra_, D: | 00:58 |
| mkultra_ | my 5 pin din ibm model m not usb =( | 00:58 |

| mkultra_ | penguins with fez's | 00:59 |
| mkultra_ | smoking hookahs, and playing with rpms | 00:59 |
| Church | hmm, maybe. redhat based dists like OEL/RHEL/Centos i'm mostly using as servers, yeah. but still, i fail to see HOW that might be bad for ubuntu .. at very least they should include lvm2 tools/kernel module in base install. it seems stupid to have to apt-get lvm on installer first just to start install | 01:01 |

| orionsonofneptun | imon ubuntu 11.10 | 01:04 |
| Kernel_Panic | orionsonofneptun, Try using wodim as described earlier | 01:05 |
| === max is now known as Guest51873 | ||
| Shojo | Kernel_Panic: I'm new(2weeks). Does kernel break in time, or only if u mess with it? | 01:08 |
| === Richard_Cavell_ is now known as Richard_Cavell | ||
| Kernel_Panic | Shojo, The kernel breaks when you call the panic() function. | 01:09 |
| Shojo | i dont even know what that is. So i'm safe , right?:) | 01:09 |
| === orion is now known as orionsonofneptun | ||
| Kernel_Panic | Shojo, Yeah. If you're new, then don't worry. Just don't go messing with the kernel that other's made. | 01:10 |
| sta7ic | Hello, set up a volume group, and dmcrypt for /, /home, and swap. I dont want to have to enter in the same pass phrase for each partition, any ideas on this? | 01:11 |
| orionsonofneptun | ok back | 01:11 |
| orionsonofneptun | it rfroze agian | 01:11 |
| Shojo | Kernel_Panic: No way :) I respect it | 01:11 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, I use a password for / and have a keyfile for the rest | 01:11 |
| Kernel_Panic | Shojo, Then go and have fun with linux. | 01:11 |
| orionsonofneptun | maybee time for new os this one has gone for 4 days | 01:12 |
| Shojo | thanks | 01:12 |
| DaniGO83 | Hi guys, i have a question, where its ubuntu 12.04 list application and versions included? | 01:12 |
| pfifo | !12.04 | DaniGO83 | 01:12 |
| ubottu | DaniGO83: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 01:12 |
| sta7ic | pfifo, how does that work, the keyfile resides on / | 01:13 |
| mkultra_ | im on 12.04 | 01:13 |
| mkultra_ | its not bad if you can deal with 11.10 | 01:13 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, exactly in /root or /etc and you need the passphrase for / to get the keyfile so its decently secure | 01:13 |
| DaniGO83 | thanks ubottu | 01:14 |
| mkultra_ | i knocked myself out of the admin group the other day, boy that was a mess | 01:14 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: in my install option, i only have a choice for passphrase or 'randomkey' | 01:14 |
| orionsonofneptun | mkultra check pm | 01:14 |
| mkultra_ | k | 01:14 |
| ohptlabs | nice handle mk ;p | 01:15 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, use random key for swap, and a passphrase for non-swap, and after the install manually setup a keyfile | 01:15 |
| mkultra_ | ty | 01:15 |
| ohptlabs | ^_^ | 01:15 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: ok where do i go to look that up, is this less secure? | 01:15 |
| sta7ic | i guess not, since they cant mount / | 01:15 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, I learned all my LVM knowledge from the archwiki dm-crypt page and the manual for cryptsetup, highly recommended reading. | 01:16 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: thanks brother. | 01:16 |
| tbruff13 | Does anyone know the exact day when Kubuntu 12.04 is coming out | 01:20 |
| itaylor57 | tbruff13, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | 01:22 |
| pfifo | tbruff13, I dont think they release that info publically | 01:22 |
| mkultra_ | im on 12.04 right now | 01:23 |
| pfifo | mkultra_, no your on 12.04 beta | 01:23 |
| pfifo | itaylor57, ahh cool, never knew that | 01:23 |
| * pfifo plans an install party for the 28th | 01:24 | |
| mkultra_ | the beta is decent | 01:24 |
| banxi1988 | Hi,I want to find files top 100 (largest in bytes) in current dir,who help me? | 01:24 |
| erpo | banxi1988: From the command line or in nautilus? | 01:25 |
| escott | banxi1988, you can use ls sorted by size or du with sort | 01:25 |
| banxi1988 | I just know some basic cmd like wc -c;find . -name *.class | 01:25 |
| escott | banxi1988, ls -sS | head -n 100 | 01:25 |
| banxi1988 | ls sorted by size can work? ok I will try it. | 01:25 |
| pfifo | I use `du -cs * | sort -nr | head -n100` | 01:26 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: I set up lvm first, then I set up encryption for /, /home, and swap, but when it finishes, it removes my mount point, if i change the type for "crypto - not active" to ext4 does that nullify the fact I just set up encryption or is that just how it works, and i just need to tell it where to mount a second time? | 01:28 |
| escott | banxi1988, if you have sparse files you might have to consider if you want on disk size or expanded size | 01:28 |
| pfifo | banxi1988, there is a GUI tool i just learned too called gdmap, but it doesnt do what you want exactly, but it is still worth a look | 01:29 |
| banxi1988 | escott:hi ,I use this ,ls -r -sS |head -n 100 > top100.txt but it doesn't work | 01:29 |
| banxi1988 | pfifo:thank you. | 01:30 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, ohh, hmm, im not really sure, I dont install like that (using the alternate installer) | 01:30 |
| escott | banxi1988, reversing gives you the smallest | 01:30 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: im using the 10.10 minimal install, same thing | 01:30 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, I use 'debootstrap' to install | 01:30 |
| apwbdjp | banxi1988, baobab does give an idea on this kind of things, too, with pretty much details, graphically | 01:31 |
| banxi1988 | escott；I need to know the file name.and in reversing. | 01:31 |
| escott | banxi1988, i dont know what you are asking for sorry | 01:32 |
| Kernel_Panic | banxi1988, He means that reversing (calling -r) gives you smallest to largest files | 01:33 |
| pfifo | banxi1988, I use `du -cs * | sort -nr | head -n100` | 01:33 |
| banxi1988 | escott:I mean,I want to the top 100 file (sorted by size )in a dir(include sub dir). | 01:34 |
| diverdude | how come if i do ls /dev/ttyS*, 32 files are listed, but i dont even have single physical serial port in my laptop? | 01:34 |
| escott | banxi1988, then you want recursive -R not reverse -r | 01:34 |
| escott | banxi1988, although the sorting isn't global with ls -R -sS so you probably want to use du | 01:35 |
| Brandons | Hello | 01:36 |
| Frank11 | hey anyone wanna help me with an hacker? | 01:36 |
| Rurd2di | no | 01:36 |
| Rurd2di | lol | 01:36 |
| banxi1988 | pfifo:du -cs * | sort -nr |head -n100 also do not work. | 01:36 |
| pfifo | diverdude, udev mostlikely makes them since it cannot tell when you plug/unplug serial cables | 01:37 |
| Frank11 | this guys enter my computer and crack it i think he put a hardware rootkit or a thing like this and also crack my adsl | 01:37 |
| banxi1988 | I want to the the file name,but it give me the dir name. | 01:37 |
| Frank11 | he want "destroy me" his words | 01:37 |
| pfifo | Frank11, do you have an ubuntu support issue? | 01:37 |
| escott | banxi1988, try du -c (no -s summarize argument) | sort -nr | 01:37 |
| Rurd2di | Frank11: not an ubuntu issue mate | 01:38 |
| bouma | 1? | 01:38 |
| Frank11 | where can i ask? | 01:38 |
| pfifo | Frank11, try ##security | 01:38 |
| helo1 | helloooo | 01:39 |
| mkultra_ | lol try #format + change pass | 01:39 |
| Kernel_Panic | helo1, greetings | 01:39 |
| banxi1988 | escott:it seems better,but it still give me the dir name.not file name. | 01:40 |
| banxi1988 | escott:I know a cmd:find . -name *.jpg -exec wc -c {} \;|awk '{print $1}'|awk '{a+=$1}END{print a}' | 01:41 |
| escott | banxi1988, it gets a bit trickier then, if you can drop the size in bytes then piping to gawk '{ print $1 }' | basename should give you just the filenames | 01:41 |
| escott | banxi1988, rather $2 | 01:41 |
| helo1 | I'm a little confused about a storage space mismatch. Can someone maybe explain what's going on with my setup? Output of "df -h": http://paste.ubuntu.com/888590/ Why is only 3.8 TiB of 4.1 available if I am only using ~9GiB? | 01:41 |
| banxi1988 | escott:but I don't know how to change it to limit the top 100 | 01:41 |
| escott | banxi1988, thats what head will do | 01:42 |
| LosFrijoles | does anyone know why libusb won't list my busses? I am running Ubuntu 11.10 | 01:43 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: why does it complain about unsafe swap when i have it set to random | 01:43 |
| pfifo | helo1, 5% of the filesystem is reserved for root access and is not 'available' | 01:44 |
| helo1 | pfifo: can I change that? Why do I need that? 5% is a big loss with an array of 4 TiB | 01:44 |
| sta7ic | helo1: you can change it to 1% | 01:44 |
| pfifo | helo1, research the tune2fs program | 01:44 |
| helo1 | pfifo: Googling, thanks | 01:44 |
| kantlivelong | why do sounds squeel sometimes on ubuntu w/ PA? | 01:44 |
| kantlivelong | squeal | 01:45 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, Im not sure, I never seen a warning like that, better look it up to see exactly whats going on, before something becomes compromised | 01:45 |
| helo1 | pfifo: So I can use this program to adjust the reserved percentage. How would I go about determining a reasonable reserve? I'm not sure I understand what it is used for. | 01:47 |
| sisar | (i'm trying to build kernel) before i clone it, how much space does the mainline kernel git tree occupy? | 01:47 |
| banxi1988 | escott:I still can't solve it. | 01:47 |
| sta7ic | im wondering if having swap as part of lvm is causing this | 01:48 |
| kantlivelong | sta7ic: why do u have swap as lvm? | 01:48 |
| * sisar #git | 01:49 | |
| pfifo | helo1, it has todo with the way ext fragments files, if you fill that drive to capacity, there may be a performance impact if the 5% is reduced. | 01:49 |
| sta7ic | kantlivelong: so i can adjust the size if needed | 01:49 |
| sta7ic | i dont even want swap 6 ram should be good without it | 01:50 |
| helo1 | pfifo: thanks | 01:50 |
| sta7ic | I think hibernate wants swap tho | 01:50 |
| kantlivelong | sta7ic: yeah if ur hibernating then u will want swap | 01:51 |
| kantlivelong | otherwise swap is useless if you have enough mem | 01:51 |
| sta7ic | ill just pull it out and see if that gets me passed this error about unsafe swap, even though i have it encrypted | 01:51 |
| sta7ic | kantlivelong: im aware =] | 01:51 |
| sta7ic | vmswappiness | 01:51 |
| pfifo | hibernation and encryption is a can of worms | 01:51 |
| kantlivelong | sta7ic: just sayin :P | 01:51 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: sounds fun | 01:52 |
| sta7ic | suspend isnt though because disks are spinning? | 01:52 |
| escott | banxi1988, probably need to use xargs --max-args=1 basename | 01:52 |
| kantlivelong | is there a known fix for the audio distortion in PA? | 01:53 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, Im not sure, I never suspend my encrypted desktop, and my laptop doesnt use encryption | 01:53 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, lets try, BRB | 01:53 |
| BLZbubba_ | ok what does it take to get ubuntu to leave resolv.conf alone? is it possible to just dpkg -r resolv.conf? | 01:53 |
| BLZbubba_ | or will the upstart house of cards come crashing down on that too | 01:54 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: i think it will freeze | 01:54 |
| sta7ic | before u try | 01:54 |
| sta7ic | haha | 01:54 |
| sta7ic | too late | 01:54 |
| ratcheer | BLZbubba_: There is a package called resolvconf, but I have never tried it. | 01:55 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, my desktop came right back on (no swap) didnt ask for my passphrase, and didnt lock the screen, so suspend is not secure at all | 01:55 |
| sta7ic | problem is, is that if you suspend, its only your passwd to crack versus encryption | 01:55 |
| BLZbubba_ | you don't have a choice | 01:55 |
| sta7ic | yes | 01:55 |
| zykotick9 | BLZbubba_: Network Manager should be used to set DNS rather then resolve.conf (as N-M over writes it) | 01:55 |
| BLZbubba_ | it is there by default and overwrites resolv.conf | 01:55 |
| BLZbubba_ | the only thing worse than resolvconf is Network Manager | 01:55 |
| scientes | how do i remove the ubuntu branding? | 01:55 |
| jHizzal | I have a noob question trying to get samba going for me. Anyone able to help? | 01:55 |
| BLZbubba_ | how about /etc/network/interfaces and resolv.conf and that should be it; is there a way to set it up that way? | 01:56 |
| pfifo | BLZbubba_, you can remove network-manager | 01:56 |
| BLZbubba_ | and systemd instead of #$^ upstart | 01:56 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: now you know why i am trying to use swap for hibernation, maybe i will just pass for now | 01:56 |
| BLZbubba_ | on precise, it doesn't look like i have network manager installed | 01:56 |
| scientes | BLZbubba_, agreed | 01:56 |
| pfifo | !anyone | jHizzal | 01:56 |
| ubottu | jHizzal: 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. | 01:56 |
| banxi1988 | escott；thanks ,I find this cmd: find . -name *.class -exec wc -c {} \;|sort -rn|head works fine. | 01:57 |
| zykotick9 | BLZbubba_: #ubuntu+1 for precise support | 01:57 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, I would just go with normal boot. | 01:57 |
| BLZbubba_ | ok if i "rm /etc/init/resolvconf.conf; touch /etc/init/resolvconf.conf" it seems to do the right thing, cool | 01:57 |
| scientes | BLZbubba_, oh woah, you having trouble with dnsmasq? | 01:57 |
| scientes | BLZbubba_, you can turn that off (i did) | 01:57 |
| banxi1988 | escott:but I don't know what -exec wc -c {} \; mean | 01:57 |
| BLZbubba_ | scientes: no i think it is resolv.conf, it made some retarded symlink to /run/resolvconf. l4me | 01:58 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: this laptop will be on the road a lot, so thinking about /boot on usb, and other partitons encrypted | 01:58 |
| escott | banxi1988, for each .class it finds it runs wc -c (which is word-count but show only chars) on the filename it finds | 01:58 |
| scientes | BLZbubba_, but it works | 01:58 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, I put my /boot on a cdrom so that noone could sneak a keylogger into the initrd (read only media) | 01:58 |
| BLZbubba_ | scientes: the symlink doesn't work for crap. dnsmasq isn't installed either | 01:59 |
| BLZbubba_ | ok good they got rid of network manager; if they can just get rid of upstart then ubuntu will be usable as a server again | 01:59 |
| scientes | BLZbubba_, dnsmasq IS installed, just not the dnsmasq package | 01:59 |
| sta7ic | pfifo: who would do that and give you your laptop back? | 01:59 |
| banxi1988 | escott:i know wc -c,but do not know {} \; | 01:59 |
| scientes | BLZbubba_, but 100% agreed on the systemd thing | 01:59 |
| scientes | BLZbubba_, why don't you just use debian, that has systemd | 02:00 |
| escott | banxi1988, {} is the filename that find finds, and \; tells find that the command is finished | 02:00 |
| jHizzal | Question: I've changed my samba conf file to allow browsable on my home file, but when I try and connect through windows I still get an error. Anyone know of an issue I might be facing or step I didn't do correct? | 02:00 |
| dj_segfault | Hey. I have a baffling problem. I have a server/firewall with 2 ethernet ports, one going to the cablemodem and the other going to my intranet (the other computers in my house). I bought the server down for some hard drive maintenance and now the connection to the outside world on eth0 is working, but the intranet on eth1 is not. What can I try? | 02:01 |
| pfifo | sta7ic, so that they can capture your passphrase, then they can decrypt you root | 02:01 |
| BLZbubba_ | scientes: i usually do but when new LTS releases come out i'll give them another try | 02:01 |
| BLZbubba_ | and i needed the newer kernel for something | 02:01 |
| helo1 | Is there a way to force Ubuntu to use physical memory and not swap when there is still ample free physical memory? | 02:01 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, you have to set up masquerade | 02:01 |
| scientes | BLZbubba_, ubuntu LTS always have buggy and old universe packages | 02:02 |
| scientes | BLZbubba_, which is just an import from debian testing | 02:02 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: The server has been working for years, so I'm pretty sure that's all set up right. I configured the firewall/masq with FireStarter. | 02:02 |
| scientes | BLZbubba_, and you can always use a newer kernel package from unstable | 02:02 |
| ratcheer | helo1: Check out "swapiness" | 02:02 |
| BLZbubba_ | the problem with upstart is that it just fails without any console messages in too many situations; no way to get a console or know what failed. if they can just mature it then it might not be so bad | 02:02 |
| dj_segfault | I did notice when I plug the out of eth1 into a hub the led on the hub blinks on and off slowly | 02:03 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, well, then pastebin the output of "ip addr show" and "ip route show" | 02:03 |
| BLZbubba_ | scientes: yeah i use debian for "real" servers but i have a set of mythbuntu machines | 02:03 |
| Tyrope | Hello, I have 2 users on a Ubuntu11.10 and i'd like to create a bash alias that works for both, preferably without editing .bashrc of the other user. (I have root) | 02:03 |
| dj_segfault | The lights on eth1 on the server are not lit. | 02:03 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: Will do | 02:03 |
| banxi1988 | escott:ok,I see,thank you so much! | 02:04 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| helo2 | My connection dropped :( Did anyone answer me by any chance? | 02:05 |
| scientes | !ask | helo2 | 02:05 |
| ubottu | helo2: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 02:05 |
| ratcheer | were you helo1? | 02:05 |
| helo2 | ratcheer: yes | 02:05 |
| scientes | <ratcheer> helo1: Check out "swapiness" | 02:05 |
| helo2 | Thanks! | 02:05 |
| ratcheer | Ok, I said, look up "swappiness" | 02:06 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: http://pastebin.com/cqeZ2A0v | 02:06 |
| scientes | ratcheer, AFAIK swapiness is deprecated with the new unclean writeback code | 02:06 |
| scientes | helo2^ | 02:06 |
| ratcheer | scientes: Sorry, I had not heard | 02:06 |
| scientes | helo2 lwn.net/Articles/405076/ | 02:06 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: I'll also mention that wireshark doesn't see anything on eth1 (intranet) | 02:07 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, inet 192.168.1.3/16 brd 192.168.255.255 scope global eth1 | 02:08 |
| scientes | that looks wrong | 02:08 |
| helo2 | scientes: thanks, googlinggggg | 02:08 |
| scientes | cause its common practice to set the gateway as .1 | 02:08 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: In what way? 192.168.1.3 is how other machines on my intranet address my server | 02:09 |
| scientes | helo2 i think there is a more recent lwn article, its an area of heavy develoipment | 02:09 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, well then otherwise, everything look good there | 02:09 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, how about your dns and dhcp server? | 02:09 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, and does interwork work from the gateway? | 02:10 |
| game16 | has anyone here built a quadrotor? | 02:10 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: I can bring up a web browser on my server and get to website by name | 02:10 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: Not sure what you meant by your last line | 02:11 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, is that server set up correct to provide dhcp and dns | 02:11 |
| scientes | i mean what you asked interwork//internet | 02:11 |
| scientes | type | 02:11 |
| scientes | *typo | 02:11 |
| Rayston | anyone know any good seedbox services? | 02:12 |
| scientes | Rayston, what is seedbox? | 02:12 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: It's possible, but since I don't see ANYTHING happen when I connect a computer to eth1 through a hub (except for the lights slowly turning on and off on the hub port going to eth1) | 02:12 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, you just upgraded to precise? | 02:13 |
| dj_segfault | I don't know if the problem is that high level as dhco | 02:13 |
| scientes | !dnsmasq | 02:13 |
| Rayston | its a vpn service to run torrents from I know of a few just looking for personal recomendations | 02:13 |
| scientes | !downloads | 02:13 |
| scientes | !download | 02:14 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Oneiric, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 02:14 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: Nope. No software changes at all. I tried to add another hard drive, had troubles with that, took it out again, and am running the system, theoretically, exactly as it was this morning | 02:14 |
| scientes | Rayston, cant find it, but we don't help with that type of stuff here, sorry policy | 02:14 |
| scientes | Rayston, but there are TONS of other places | 02:14 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: I'll also admit I'm running Ubuntu 10.10LTS on this server | 02:14 |
| pfifo | 10.10 is not an LTS | 02:14 |
| dj_segfault | Sorry I meant 10.04LTS | 02:15 |
| Rayston | why is it policy? there are tons of perfectly legitimate uses for both torrents and vpn services? I understand that rules are rules, just curious why | 02:15 |
| dj_segfault | Thanks for catching that | 02:15 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, i was asking cause there was a change in precise that screws up dnsmasq setups in some cases | 02:15 |
| AcidRain | what is linux way to replace spaces in file names? like windows does \\ | 02:15 |
| Rayston | heck, I can download ubuntu using torrent, and could do it using a seedbox, in fact I probably will just to provide some bandwidth to the "cause" | 02:15 |
| pfifo | Rayston, you can discuss policy in #ubuntu-ops if you really need an answer | 02:15 |
| escott | AcidRain, "filename with space" or filename\ with\ space | 02:15 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, anyways, you should be using dnsmasq, not any of the other dhcp software, and its pretty easy, but there are a number of points that have to match up | 02:16 |
| AcidRain | im not even sure if im asking the right question. i am faced with the issue of a program saying that its not a file at that path, when indeed, i know it is | 02:16 |
| Rayston | nah, its okay, like I said, rules are rules, just seems overdoing it, piracy should definitely be off-topic | 02:16 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: I am running dnsmasq. I just checked that it is running | 02:16 |
| apwbdjp | AcidRain, try with Tab completion, might help | 02:17 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, did you try rebooting? | 02:17 |
| Tyrope | Hello, I have 2 users on a Ubuntu11.10 VM and i'd like to create a bash alias that works for both, preferably without editing .bashrc of the other user. (I have root) <- if somebody answered me, I sadly missed it, could you repeat yourself? | 02:17 |
| AcidRain | apwbdjp: no im writting a perl script to return the path to an mp3 file | 02:17 |
| AcidRain | and its saying file or directory not found. | 02:17 |
| tonb | help who | 02:17 |
| AcidRain | but i know its right | 02:17 |
| UberDuper | Is there a semi-official ppa for php5.3.x ? | 02:17 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: I rebooted several time while getting the hard drives straightened out but not since I got the system up and running. You think that could help? | 02:17 |
| UberDuper | I had used the nginx ppa for it recently but they've removed php from it. | 02:18 |
| scientes | dj_segfault, well, i've set it up a number of times, and things tend to work for me | 02:18 |
| pfifo | Tyrope, edit the global /etc/bash.bashrc file | 02:18 |
| Tyrope | pfifo: thank you. | 02:18 |
| AcidRain | escott: is it perhaps a permissions issue? | 02:18 |
| AcidRain | surely not | 02:18 |
| AcidRain | no actually i know for a fact its not | 02:18 |
| dj_segfault | AcidRain: If you're writing a perl script, why not just use regular expressions to remove the spaces in the name, then use the rename command or mv shell command to rename the file? | 02:19 |
| AcidRain | something must be wrong with the way my script is returning the file name | 02:19 |
| AcidRain | dj_segfault: well because its very important that the file doesnt get renamed :) | 02:19 |
| mkultra_ | how doez regex work | 02:19 |
| apwbdjp | AcidRain, quote the returned value, when you call it | 02:19 |
| AcidRain | its for icecast. im making my own random scrip tto play a file. and i extracted all mp3 file paths to a playlist. it randomly goes through playlist and picks a path to play | 02:20 |
| escott | AcidRain, it is is returned as an arg then its essentially quoted, its only when bash parses a line that it might get confused | 02:20 |
| AcidRain | return "$LINE"; you mean like this? | 02:20 |
| escott | AcidRain, so ls $FILE sends $FILE as a single argument to ls | 02:20 |
| dj_segfault | scientes: OK< I'll try rebooting but I don't have a lot of hopes for that. | 02:20 |
| escott | AcidRain, but ls `echo $FILE` would cause bash to parse any spaces | 02:21 |
| AcidRain | The Random Line#: 2549 || The Path: /media/Server2/My_Documents/Music/Deadsun/Face It.mp3 || Error opening /media/Server2/My_Documents/Music/Scum/Only Bodies Left Behind/The Return.mp3 || Error opening: No such file or directory | 02:21 |
| apwbdjp | AcidRain, How do you call your script? | 02:22 |
| AcidRain | script is called by ices | 02:22 |
| escott | AcidRain, take that back thats not true | 02:22 |
| AcidRain | ok i take it back.. | 02:22 |
| AcidRain | its called by... | 02:22 |
| AcidRain | well im pretty sure it is. considering its the ices configuration file where i specify the ices_PL.pm perl file to be called | 02:23 |
| AcidRain | when a song is changed. anyways, i dont believe that relates to the issue. or does it? | 02:23 |
| Tyrope | I'm trying to create a (named) screen that's automatically detached from, but it seems the command i'm using seems to fail: "screen -dmS -S test vim" if i do screen -ls I get a "No Sockets found", even when using sudo | 02:24 |
| pfifo | AcidRain, does it work if you give it filenames without spaces? | 02:24 |
| AcidRain | pfifo: let me test it. hang on | 02:25 |
| AcidRain | yes | 02:26 |
| AcidRain | pfifo: it also works when i give it a filename with spaces | 02:26 |
| AcidRain | when i do the file name like this: "/media/Server2/My_Documents/Music/Audioslave/Audioslave/I Am The Highway.mp3" | 02:27 |
| AcidRain | rather than like this: "$LINE"; | 02:27 |
| pfifo | AcidRain, can you pastebin your script | 02:27 |
| AcidRain | no. its ugly :) | 02:28 |

| RandomCake | Hi, I have an Ubuntu server, and it has a firewall, I thought it used Shorewall to configure IP tables, but /etc/shorewall is there with no config, then I thought, did I use ufw? That does seem to have much of the /etc/ufw config that would make the server function as it does, but when I run 'ufw' I'm told that the command can't be found. iptables -L returns plenty of rules, but I'm certain... | 02:50 |
| RandomCake | ...I didn't configure iptables directly, is there any way of working out what did? | 02:50 |
| wylde | chalcedony: I would assume the largest of the linux (83) partitions would be home. So /dev/sda6 if that helps any | 02:50 |
| CFHowlett | chalcedony awww, man ... | 02:50 |

| Guest86265 | hello | 02:51 |

| haz3lnut | AphisOne: don;t use the f switch with tar | 02:54 |
| RandomCake | damn, actually, looking at the output of iptables -L I do see shorewall mentioned, so I guess I did use shorewall! hmm... | 02:54 |
| haz3lnut | AphisOne: just tar vx | 02:54 |
| haz3lnut | AphisOne: just tar -vx | 02:54 |

| CFHowlett | hmw dist-upgrade is NOT dist-release. dist-upgrade updates all packages in the distro to their highest version in the stream. *as I understand it* | 03:46 |
| hellyeah | yeah | 03:46 |
| trism | !dist-upgrade | 03:46 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 03:46 |

| hilarie | Is there a way to be able to click around through a program similary to nano, I figured it wasn't possible, but then I played with midnight commander, and you can use your mouse on that | 03:46 |
| wylde | chalcedony: you should be able to yes. sda5 as far as I can tell is where your "system" files are. if you're concerned then don't use it on sda6 | 03:46 |
| MACscr | chalcedony: id rather do it without a third party client. Windows RDP is available on pretty much anyones system | 03:46 |

| === hydrox24_ is now known as hydrox24 | ||
| hellyeah | yeah okey | 03:51 |
| escott | irish, its a gui and it might be able to use unrar to extract. if it doesn't offer that option then you would have to open a terminal and use unrar on the cli | 03:51 |

| CFHowlett | hmw depends on your settings I believe. | 03:55 |
| wylde | chalcedony: I honestly think at this point you should work on getting your data off that drive. I'm not finding any working soloutions to that problem :( | 03:55 |
| srini | While browsing https sites are not opening... how to solve this | 03:56 |
| irish | escott: apparently file-roller comes install as default in ubuntu 10.10 but, its not in menu and a file search results in nothing | 03:56 |
| hmw | CFHowlett: btw, apt-get upgrade: This command upgrades all installed packages. This is the equivalent of "Mark all upgrades" in Synaptic. apt-get dist-upgrade: The same as the above, except add the "smart upgrade" checkbox. It tells APT to use "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. | 03:56 |
| escott | irish, it would be listed as archive manager in the menu or archive something | 03:57 |
| sacarlson | srini: all https sites? give an example and what error seen | 03:57 |

| irish | escott: I've read everything in the menu and there is nothing that even remotely resembles an Archiver | 03:59 |
| escott | wowyang, never used it myself. see the man page or look online | 03:59 |
| wowyang | escott: thanks | 04:00 |
| escott | irish, well you could do it from the terminal. identify what folder the .rar is in open a terminal and then type "cd /path/to/the/rar/file" but without the "filename.rar" at the end (just the directory). then type unrar e filename.rar and it will extract into that directory | 04:01 |
| chalcedony | DOES anyone know if it will do damage to my disk or data to exit the ubuntu live cd at that page? | 04:01 |
| irish | escott: ok | 04:01 |
| hydrox24 | chalcedony: you should be all right to exit the livecd, looks like it hasn't mounted your HDD in anyway yet. | 04:02 |
| escott | chalcedony, doubt it could damage anything as it hasn't even picked a root fs. what was it doing before that? | 04:02 |
| irish | escott: I have 700 rar files to extract. | 04:02 |
| wylde | chalcedony: /dev/sdf correspond to your fdisk -l output from earlier, so /dev/sdf5 should be your system or '/' directory | 04:02 |

| L3top | AphisOne: http://pastebin.com/Cb8Ysngh this needs more work, some error checking, and some alternate methods... but if you create a file named whatever you want, I called it tardir.sh, make it executable (chmod +x tardir.sh)... to use type "./tardir.sh /path/to/archive" and it will try and figure out what it is, get a list of its contents, and extract the first directory. | 04:13 |
| HoNgOuRu | I cant extract | 04:13 |
| pi3ch | escott: hmm.. never heard of readline? | 04:14 |
| hilarie | OerHeks thanks, I'll try it on that side :) | 04:14 |
| hilarie | What was that emergency? | 04:14 |
| escott | HoNgOuRu, i understand the problem. im suggesting you dont use fileroller but instead use the cli | 04:14 |
| sleepybug | hey guys, can anyone help me out...I am wanting to compile my customized version of wubi...but I don't know what compiler to use. | 04:14 |
| HoNgOuRu | "cli" ? | 04:14 |
| escott | !cli | HoNgOuRu | 04:14 |
| ubottu | HoNgOuRu: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 04:14 |
| AphisOne | L3top: I think --strip-components=1 works | 04:15 |
| HoNgOuRu | ho, ok | 04:15 |
| escott | pi3ch, its a library for terminal interaction that most oss terminal utilities use | 04:15 |
| kavit_ | I am trying to partition a GPT disk with 100 partitions using parted. However when i try to mkfs, I can only see around 16 /dev/sdbXX entries. Is there a hard limit on the number of paritions that will get assigned a device by udevd? | 04:15 |
| sleepybug | anyone? | 04:15 |
| chalcedony | http://pastebin.com/PFt7aDpM wylde - decisions | 04:16 |
| L3top | I dont see how it can figure out what kind of archive it is, and then extract a single, first listed directory... but ok... it was fun to make anyway. | 04:16 |
| kavit_ | is there a work around where I can go upto /dev/sdb101 | 04:16 |
| escott | kavit_, try using gdisk. i wouldn't be surprised if there are bugs in the gui that are causing it to blow up with this ridiculous scenario | 04:16 |
| hydrox24 | sleepybug: the wubi instruction say use make | 04:17 |
| hydrox24 | *make* | 04:17 |
| kavit_ | escott, I am using a script I wrote passing variables to parted. | 04:17 |
| kavit_ | no GUI | 04:17 |
| sleepybug | hydrox24: i mean compile on a windows system | 04:17 |
| hydrox24 | sleepybug: is that what you were looking for? | 04:17 |
| AphisOne | L3top: I do appreciate the help, I'm trying to figure out how to force tar to extract the files as a specific user, --owner doesn't seem to work | 04:17 |
| escott | kavit_, sorry read gparted instead of parted. what does /proc/partitions say | 04:17 |
| wylde | chalcedony: ok that's going to put you in a shell with access to everything on sda5, however we'll still need to figure out what files were modified. | 04:17 |
| escott | AphisOne, that can only be done as root. are you using sudo | 04:18 |
| chalcedony | wylde, i wish for a magic - fix that! button. | 04:18 |
| hydrox24 | sleepybug: why must you compile it ind windows? | 04:18 |
| haz3lnut | kavit_ I'm afraid to ask why one would want 100+ partitions. | 04:18 |
| kavit_ | escott, I can see the partitions there. just no associated /dev/sdbXX entries. THis led me to believe it might be a udevd issue | 04:18 |
| AphisOne | escott: it's a cmd being run from within puppet, it is run as root | 04:18 |
| sleepybug | hydrox24: wubi is a ubuntu installer for windows | 04:18 |
| sacarlson | kavit_: you might want to look into lvm if you want lots of partitions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_%28Linux%29 | 04:18 |
| escott | AphisOne, a workaround would be to chown the file and then su -c to run the tar command | 04:19 |
| wylde | chalcedony: don't we all! | 04:19 |
| L3top | AphisOne: su - username -c | 04:19 |
| hydrox24 | sleepybug: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_compile_Wubi_from_source.3F | 04:19 |
| AphisOne | escott: chown what file? | 04:19 |
| L3top | escott beat me to it | 04:19 |
| kavit_ | haz3lnut: building a OpenStack Storage swift node, trying to divide a 2TB disk into 19.00 GB partitions | 04:19 |
| escott | AphisOne, the tar file | 04:20 |
| sleepybug | hydrox24: thanks, not to sound ungrateful; but that is for compiling on a unix system. I am going to try and use vb | 04:20 |
| AphisOne | escott: tar is taking input from the STDIN from wget STDOUT | 04:20 |
| hydrox24 | sleepybug: ok, that's cool | 04:20 |
| chalcedony | wylde we have a big blue screen with a white bar at the bottom with a # sign in the left hand corner of the screen. and nothing moving. | 04:20 |
| escott | AphisOne, in that case just the whole subshell inside su -c | 04:20 |
| L3top | yup | 04:21 |
| AphisOne | escott: ?? | 04:21 |
| orionsonofneptun | any one know of ubuntu 11.10 mem test on os cd | 04:21 |
| sacarlson | kavit_: lvm partitions are also dynamicly resizable | 04:21 |
| orionsonofneptun | how long does it take | 04:21 |
| wylde | chalcedony: are you able to enter commands? | 04:21 |
| dj_segfault1 | I think my server's running out of something (IRQ? DMA?). I hooked up a new sata hard drive (I have 4 installed already plus a sata DVDRW, and a total of 6 sata ports on my mobo), and the server would not boot. unhooked the new drive then it booted again. I tried hooking up the new hard drive again and unhooking the DVDRW then it boots. Unhook the new drive and hook the DVD drive up again then it worked. But now | 04:21 |
| chalcedony | wylde so it seems! yes we can type | 04:21 |
| AphisOne | escott: wouldn't that still cause it to run as root, I'm doing the testing as root, and --owner doesn't seem to work | 04:22 |
| escott | AphisOne, su -c "some command here" somebody | 04:22 |
| wylde | chalcedony: the unfortunate part is I still haven't really found any useful info that issue :( | 04:22 |
| kavit_ | sacarlason: I am aware of that. I have just been handed a sheet of requirements and asked to write a script. xfs partitions, 100 per disk, 10 disks a node | 04:22 |
| chalcedony | wylde, ill be daring and try ls | 04:23 |
| AphisOne | escott: ahhh | 04:23 |
| wylde | chalcedony: alrighty :) | 04:23 |
| MACscr | so my vnc connection to my ubuntu system looks like so http://screencast.com/t/XrDgUZnY. suggestions for getting something actually usable? | 04:23 |
| escott | kavit_, then check the box. you've created the partitions as requested :). you could manually mknod | 04:23 |
| kavit_ | sacarlson: i would like to honestly say that I exhausted all options trying to get it to work before I put forward my alternative suggestion. | 04:23 |
| sacarlson | kavit_: I would assume you could format lvm partitions in xfs so I don't see a problem | 04:23 |
| orionsonofneptun | anybody???? | 04:23 |
| kavit_ | escott, yeah I was afraid you'd say that | 04:24 |
| kavit_ | hehe | 04:24 |
| kavit_ | escott, no magic udevd list option somewhere? | 04:24 |
| kavit_ | :P | 04:24 |
| escott | orionsonofneptun, depends on how much ram, a single pass on 8gb can take as little as 10 minutes, but to run all passes across all ram and relocate memtest86 can take 10+ hours | 04:24 |
| escott | kavit_, it could be an issue in the kernel. i dont know how large the mknod numbers can be | 04:25 |
| Tyrope | Greetings, I have a (global) bash alias that launches a screen and automatically detaches from it. However, I'm wondering if there's a way to have it check if a specific name screen exists, if so attach, if not create and detach. Is such a thing possible? | 04:25 |
| escott | Tyrope, touch a file in /tmp and test for the existence of that | 04:26 |
| kavit_ | escott, it has a 3.0.12 oneiric kernel. However, rackspace swift guidelines state "We recommend that there be a minimum of 100 partitions per drive to insure even distribution across the drives. A good starting point might be to figure out the maximum number of drives the cluster will contain, and then multiply by 100, and then round up to the nearest power of two." | 04:26 |
| Tyrope | escott: this file will be deleted no matter the reason the screen closes? | 04:26 |
| chalcedony | http://pastebin.com/tgfDTPQb wylde a list | 04:27 |
| wylde | chalcedony: I'm actually about to try abusing a VM trying to recreate your problem heh | 04:27 |
| escott | Tyrope, no you would have to cleanup the tmp file if screen closes | 04:27 |
| chalcedony | :) | 04:27 |
| AphisOne | escott: thanks, that worked like a charm.... su -c "wget -O - https://example.com/some.tar.file | tar -Jk --strip-components=1" www-data | 04:27 |
| chalcedony | wylde if you can that might be extremely helpful - the mess was adobe9 installed to the wrong place and him poking around | 04:27 |
| sleepybug | I have another question guys. When I am trying to download the wubi source code...they have multiple "source code repositories" such as the windows frontend, and the linux backend but they are called two different programs...if i just download the wubi windows frontend program, will I have the program or only a piece of it? | 04:27 |
| orionsonofneptun | escott ok then so 1.5 gb can take 10 hous for full test | 04:28 |
| kavit_ | sacarlson: ofcourse. I am just trying to see if I can get things to work within the instructions first, if not I have to go outside them. Was wondering if anyone might have encountered an issue with over 16b partitions on a gpt disk failing | 04:28 |
| LukeNukem | Hello, any playONlinux users here | 04:29 |
| wylde | chalcedony: well that looks right, yeah I'm gonig to try. Does hubby recall any specific locations he was in? or maybe a "chancy" sudo commands that got used? | 04:29 |
| escott | orionsonofneptun, generally you will know within the first few minutes if the ram will pass, its possible that stressing it a bit longer can lead to failure detection that you might have missed | 04:29 |
| Tyrope | escott: so if say, the screen crashes and closes without deleting that file it would fail. | 04:29 |
| Tyrope | or is there a way to catch the screen closing event. | 04:29 |
| sleepybug | Cany anyone help me :/ | 04:30 |
| wylde | chalcedony: by chancy sudo commands I mean like 'sudo rm -R *.blahblah' <-- don't do that! | 04:30 |
| escott | Tyrope, well the next time around you would have a file in /tmp that shouldn't exist and you will try to connect to a non-existent screen event. youre alias should become a bash function and should handle that case | 04:30 |
| orionsonofneptun | escott im running it on a toshiba im trying to fix | 04:30 |
| orionsonofneptun | im doing all i can think of | 04:30 |
| chalcedony | wylde my husband's speech center was almost completely destryed by the stroke. he pantomimed a long strong of commands or something | 04:31 |
| orionsonofneptun | and trying to learn at the same time | 04:31 |
| sleepybug | <Irma_Weldon> is spamming me about wearing a bra? recruiting me to some forum.... | 04:31 |
| sleepybug | in a pm | 04:31 |
| escott | chalcedony, fyi there is an accessibility channel, if the problem was a11y related | 04:32 |
| wylde | chalcedony: ok, hmmm. I find tons of posts about the issue you have and yet not a single working solution :( | 04:32 |
| orionsonofneptun | escott check pm | 04:32 |
| chalcedony | escott, i'm sorry what? | 04:32 |
| escott | !pm > orionsonofneptun | 04:32 |
| ubottu | orionsonofneptun, please see my private message | 04:32 |
| chalcedony | wylde, he uses the graphical interfaces - he's an old windows guy | 04:32 |
| chalcedony | i think with the gui you mess things up differently than we who type | 04:33 |
| orionsonofneptun | escott is it ok to pm | 04:33 |
| orionsonofneptun | its off topic | 04:33 |
| escott | chalcedony, wasn't following your problem, but if it is accessibility related there is/was an accessibility channel #ubuntu-accessibility (it might be empty) | 04:34 |
| orionsonofneptun | im on test 8 how many are thier | 04:34 |
| wylde | chalcedony: *cough* oops wrong terminal >.< | 04:34 |
| escott | orionsonofneptun, 20-100 cant remember or so. then it moves the memtestx86 program in memory and starts again | 04:35 |
| orionsonofneptun | ok then | 04:35 |
| domo2 | besides running sudo hostname and changing /etc/hostname, is there anything else I need to do to change the hostname on the box? | 04:35 |
| domo2 | edit /etc/hosts? | 04:36 |
| escott | orionsonofneptun, usually after the first pattern passes you "know" thats its good, but if you are suspicious let it run a bit longer | 04:36 |
| Tyrope | domo2: not 100% sure, but I think you need to reboot. | 04:36 |
| orionsonofneptun | ok its been going for 1 25 16 hour and 25 min and 16 sec lol | 04:36 |
| hydrox24 | Tyrope: pehaps just restart the relevant network interface? | 04:36 |
| chalcedony | escott, the problem is the human interface but thank you so much IRC is a text medium - the one thing we both have is text/graphics so it works better than lots of things | 04:37 |
| Tyrope | hydrox24: or that. | 04:37 |
| hydrox24 | domo2: so just sudo ifconfig eth0 down | 04:37 |
| chalcedony | wylde, lol | 04:37 |
| hydrox24 | then run sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 04:37 |
| hydrox24 | replace eth0 with the relevant inteface if you know better. | 04:38 |
| sleepybug | I have another question guys. When I am trying to download the wubi source code...they have multiple "source code repositories" such as the windows frontend, and the linux backend but they are called two different programs...if i just download the wubi windows frontend program, will I have the program or only a piece of it? | 04:38 |
| wylde | chalcedony: it figures, when you actually WANT to break something it doesn't want to break >.< | 04:38 |
| orionsonofneptun | sleepy bug do you mind pm | 04:41 |
| sleepybug | depends on what its about | 04:42 |
| chalcedony | wylde he's GOOD isn't he? ;) | 04:42 |
| sleepybug | orionsonofneptun: what is it about | 04:43 |
| wylde | chalcedony: yep! I do have to be careful since I want to duplicate your situation not just completely destroy the VM, which is actually ridiculously easy to do. | 04:44 |
| robodog | hehe | 04:44 |
| Tyrope | wylde: destroying VMs is easy indeed. Most satisfying too, I must admit. as long as you have back-ups. | 04:46 |
| wylde | Tyrope: I only have 1 VM i care about not loosing, all the rest are for exactly what I'm doing now :) | 04:46 |
| robodog | ls | 04:47 |
| robodog | pwd | 04:47 |
| hydrox24 | wylde: what are you trying to do? | 04:49 |
| wylde | hydrox24: deliberatley cause the same situation that chalcedony has | 04:49 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| chalcedony | wylde he was opening different directories and files seeing if he adobe9 was there and then trying to get it to open pdf files correctly | 04:51 |
| chalcedony | he spent a lot of time on it because the pdfs said they were broken | 04:51 |
| chalcedony | evince said it too | 04:51 |
| wylde | chalcedony: hmm | 04:52 |
| chalcedony | wylde, i went to sleep.. he woke up and worked on it. | 04:53 |

| superdave321 | Does anyone know of a good tool to use to copy the entire contents of a drive to an image file or similar? | 04:55 |
| escott | superdave321, dd | 04:55 |
| wylde | chalcedony: ahh ok, I'm still trying to find info too.. | 04:56 |
| superdave321 | escott: Is there a noob friendly guide you can point me to? | 04:56 |
| [Si] | superdave321 dd if=/dev/sourcedisk of=/path/to/image.img bs=1024k | 04:57 |
| escott | superdave321, dd if=/dev/sda1 | gzip > sda1.img.gz | 04:57 |
| mr_gees100_peas | Hi, I'm trying to install a theme in gnome shell ubuntu 11.10. I followed the instruction in which I create a folder in the home directory called .Theme I downloaded the theme and extracted it to the .Theme folder. When I open the advance setting tools and click on the themse button I do not see the new theme listed. What do I do? | 04:58 |
| superdave321 | escott, [Si]: thanks! | 04:59 |
| [Si] | escott's is fancier it'll compress it for you on the fly ;) | 05:00 |
| * CollegeFreshman dies | 05:01 | |
| L3top | [Si]: that amount of compression will take a long time, crazy long depending on size. | 05:01 |
| [Si] | Guess it depends how fast your cpu is and how big /dev/sda1 ;) | 05:01 |
| escott | L3top, gzip is block compression it can easily keep up with data streaming off a disk | 05:02 |
| L3top | yes... I was recommending yours | 05:02 |
| CollegeFreshman | just sudo rm -rf /* & | 05:02 |
| CFHowlett | !danger | 05:02 |
| ubottu | 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! | 05:02 |
| almoxarife | CollegeFreshman: bored? | 05:03 |
| [Si] | DD can be dangerous if you type the if and of the wrong way round | 05:03 |
| * [Si] has done that... | 05:03 | |
| CollegeFreshman | very | 05:03 |
| L3top | they don't call it disk destroyer for nothing. | 05:03 |
| * CollegeFreshman is bored... DIES | 05:03 | |
| Tyrope | CollegeFreshman: one of the most fun ways of destroying your VM. :) | 05:03 |
| CollegeFreshman | or if you just rooted a server | 05:03 |
| CollegeFreshman | I'm having way too much fun with ms12-020 | 05:04 |
| chalcedony | :) | 05:04 |
| almoxarife | CollegeFreshman: perhaps you need to join #windows? | 05:04 |
| CollegeFreshman | #winblows? | 05:05 |
| chalcedony | :) | 05:05 |
| * Tyrope just re-read that !danger command and wonders who Will Robinson is. | 05:05 | |
| L3top | youth, wasted on the young | 05:05 |
| escott | Tyrope, lost in space | 05:05 |
| chalcedony | Tyrope, Lost in Space | 05:05 |
| chalcedony | L3top, indeed | 05:05 |
| Tyrope | I'll have to look into that. | 05:06 |
| escott | im sure its on youtube | 05:06 |
| Tyrope | That's what I meant. ;) | 05:06 |
| Tyrope | Now, I had vim open on my VM... anybody remember why | 05:07 |
| chalcedony | Tyrope, it was one of the first best space series | 05:07 |
| aslan | Hi, I'm using Backtrack in Virtualbox and my primary OS is ubuntu 10.10 now I'm facing Internet connectivity issue in Backtrack, though the primary OS is connected with Internet .... | 05:09 |
| aslan | How to resolve it | 05:09 |
| CollegeFreshman | try the backtrack channel | 05:10 |
| CFHowlett | !backtrack|aslan | 05:10 |
| ubottu | aslan: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 05:10 |
| CollegeFreshman | aslan: run dhclient3 eth0 | 05:10 |
| CollegeFreshman | then ping google.com | 05:11 |
| Tyrope | CollegeFreshman: solid test, pinging google. :P | 05:11 |
| aslan | CollegeFreshman, to run that in Ubuntu or BT | 05:12 |
| CollegeFreshman | BT | 05:12 |
| CollegeFreshman | also try right clicking on the network adapter and setting it to bridged | 05:12 |
| CollegeFreshman | on Virtualbox | 05:12 |
| aslan | Okay, Thank you... I will check it now .. | 05:13 |
| superdave321 | Ok, back from the dd discussion... If I were to clone the disk to another mounted drive, how would I do that? | 05:13 |
| escott | superdave321, you cant clone a dd image to a mounted partition | 05:14 |
| aslan | Okay, Thank you... I will check it now .. | 05:14 |
| escott | superdave321, you also should never extract a dd image from a mounted partition | 05:14 |
| superdave321 | escott: What do I need to do to clone, then? | 05:14 |
| TheOnion | When I type make for a makefile. Where's make located? | 05:15 |
| superdave321 | Or how.. | 05:15 |
| [Si] | which make | 05:15 |
| escott | TheOnion, "which make" | 05:15 |
| TheOnion | make file | 05:15 |
| TheOnion | the make command | 05:15 |
| TheOnion | after do the apt-get install make, when i type make it works, how come? | 05:16 |
| escott | superdave321, to use dd you need to copy an unmounted partition or disk to a file, and then you can restore in the same way. if you want to clone your system root you can use a livecd, but with floss why bother, just use !clone to replicate the packages | 05:16 |
| [Si] | make tea | 05:16 |
| mr_gees100_peas | can anybody help with with installing a theme? | 05:16 |
| Tyrope | TheOnion: I'm going to guess your working directory. | 05:16 |
| escott | TheOnion, the makefile declares targets like so "targetname: dependencies[newline][tab]commands" | 05:17 |
| CollegeFreshman | dd if=/dev/hda* of=/derp/herp | 05:17 |
| aslan | CollegeFreshman, Its working after running the dhclient3 command. Thank you so much. | 05:18 |
| CollegeFreshman | no problem | 05:18 |
| CollegeFreshman | I always have that problem in backtrack | 05:18 |
| CollegeFreshman | well its more of a feature than a bug | 05:18 |
| Fyodorovna | superdave321, check out clonezilla.org | 05:19 |
| ahhughes | would anyone recommend anything over virtualbox? | 05:19 |
| TheOnion | make makefile, where does the "make" come from? It doesn't seem to be in /bin | 05:19 |
| Tyrope | ahhughes: host OS? | 05:20 |
| escott | TheOnion, /usr/bin/make | 05:20 |
| CollegeFreshman | ./configure | 05:20 |
| TheOnion | ok thanks :D | 05:20 |
| escott | ahhughes, on what basis? virtualbox is free which is nice. IBM z-series host OS can probably host more instances but its a little bit more expensive | 05:22 |
| [Si] | escott you have a zSeries at home? | 05:22 |
| [Si] | that's epic hardware. | 05:22 |
| ahhughes | Tyrope, base OS is ubuntu 11.10 and want to run Win7 and/or maybe XP on VM's | 05:22 |
| escott | [Si], saving up for it. just a few more millenia and my penny jar will have enough change | 05:23 |
| Tyrope | ahhughes: no idea then, I do it the other way around. xD (Win7 host, UbuntuVM) | 05:23 |
| tr0n | why run win, u have the best OS already? | 05:23 |
| CollegeFreshman | what about a VM inside a VM's VM? | 05:23 |
| superdave321 | Well, I'm trying to rescue my root drive before a reinstall. I just want to clone that drive to an external of larger size. Is there a command or free tool that will let me do that? | 05:23 |
| Tyrope | CollegeFreshman: VMception. | 05:24 |
| [Si] | I've only ever done that with esx CollegeFreshman | 05:24 |
| erpo | superdave321: Clonezilla? | 05:24 |
| [Si] | superdave321 clonezilla | 05:24 |
| ahhughes | Tyrope, oh well no harm in trying virtual box.... just gotta wonder where on earth can I get the media for win7... it came pre-installed on this laptop... with no media. | 05:24 |
| ahhughes | I got the serial's tho. | 05:24 |
| superdave321 | Ok. Thanks | 05:25 |
| escott | ahhughes, you have to buy it. you dont have a license for a vm install | 05:25 |
| escott | ahhughes, your license is an OEM license only | 05:25 |
| Tyrope | ahhughes: if you got a legit serial you can burn your own disc and use that serial. | 05:25 |
| ahhughes | I do have a legit serial | 05:25 |
| Tyrope | escott: I have an OEM license too, and I can run a VM just fine. as long as it's the only install. | 05:25 |
| escott | Tyrope, ok. good to know i might do that with my laptop later then | 05:27 |
| ahhughes | all I need is the dvd/cd's :'( | 05:27 |
| Tyrope | escott: There's a diff between OEM and Pre-install OEM though. if it's pre-install it might be MAC locked. | 05:28 |

| ubottu | Mneum: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. | 05:37 |
| erpo | Cackala: It will totally depend on whether it knows to look for DVD data structures on a CD. It will definitely need a laser that can read CDs. Beyond that it's all firmware. | 05:37 |

| k_sze | Somehow the HDMI audio out of my Ocelot machine doesn't seem to be working. | 06:02 |
| k_sze | My LCD monitor tells me there is no HDMI audio signal. | 06:02 |
| mr_gees100_peas | bazhang: Here is one of the themes (http://www.noobslab.com/2011/10/beautiful-tron-legacy-and-aqua-themes.html) and here is a link explaining how to install it. Many links follow this same format (http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-GNOME-Themes-in-Ubuntu-11-10-231213.shtml) | 06:04 |
| mr_gees100_peas | bazhang: I didn't follow the one where it said to copy files since it looks dangerous | 06:05 |
| acnot | Hi there all, say I just installed 12.04 on my little happy and wow I must say it really kicks butt. Only problem is any time I try to play a video in vlc or movie player the desktop disappears and shoots me out to what looks like the start of the shut down prompt, processes about two things and then just sits there. | 06:05 |
| bazhang | acnot, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 | 06:06 |
| UberDuper | Nobody responds there. :/ | 06:06 |
| bazhang | mr_gees100_peas, are you on 11.10? | 06:06 |
| mr_gees100_peas | bazhang: yes 11.10 | 06:06 |
| bazhang | UberDuper, then be patient, thats the support channel for it | 06:06 |
| bazhang | mr_gees100_peas, ubuntu-tweak-tool is in the repos; what is the dangerous command you are referring to | 06:07 |
| mr_gees100_peas | bazhang: In the tron theme website there is an installation method not using the advance settings tool. Is copying the files directly into some folder. | 06:08 |
| mr_gees100_peas | Installation of Gnome Shell Themes: | 06:09 |
| mr_gees100_peas | Backup /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme folderExtract the archive and rename gnome-shell to themeCopy this folder to /usr/share/gnome-shell/Restart Gnome Shell by hitting Alt+F2, then type 'r' and Press EnterYou can also use Gnome Tweak Tool to install directly from zip file | 06:09 |
| hydrox24 | mr_gees100_peas: just download the zip for the theme and then open it using gnomme-tweak-tool | 06:09 |
| hydrox24 | mr_gees100_peas: I can guide you through that if you would like. | 06:09 |
| mr_gees100_peas | hydrox24: Thats just it. gnomme-tweak-tool doesn't list anything or doesn't give the option to navigate to where the theme is. Well, unless I'm using the wrong tool. | 06:10 |
| mr_gees100_peas | hydrox24: yes please. I've been at this for well over 5 hours | 06:10 |

| mr_gees100_peas | hydrox24: is gnome-tweak-tool the same as advance settings? Like the one shown in the link? | 06:12 |
| hydrox24 | mr_gees100_peas: yes that is correct | 06:13 |
| hydrox24 | mr_gees100_peas: sorry, the link doesn;t actually provide instructions | 06:13 |
| hydrox24 | mr_gees100_peas: I will still help you though :) | 06:14 |
| mr_gees100_peas | hydrox24: Here is what i did. 1) In the home folder I made a folder called .themes 2) I downloaded and extracted the theme I want there. 3) I opened gnome-tweak and clicked on the themes button. I then looked through all the pull down menus but none of the themes I downloaded where listed. | 06:15 |
| mr_gees100_peas | hydrox24: I think that gnome-tweak simply doesn't know where to look and it doesn't give you an option to browse fo the files. | 06:16 |
| hydrox24 | mr_gees100_peas: it should give you an option, hold on | 06:16 |
| hydrox24 | click "theme" in the side bar | 06:17 |
| mr_gees100_peas | hydrox24: ok. I openened gnome tweaked and clicked on themes. Whats next? | 06:17 |
| bazhang | mr_gees100_peas, you named a folder with the . dot in front? thats hidden you realize | 06:17 |
| bazhang | mr_gees100_peas, just dl it to your Desktop , not a hidden folder | 06:18 |
| mr_gees100_peas | bazhang:That is what all the tutorials said to do. | 06:18 |
| mr_gees100_peas | bazhang: ok let me try that. Now should I unconpress it to the desktop or is it smart enough to do the whole thing? | 06:19 |
| bazhang | mr_gees100_peas, just leave it as a zip | 06:19 |
| hydrox24 | Metal-E3000: now there should be a button near to the bottom, in the middle(ish) that says (none) | 06:20 |
| hydrox24 | mr_gees100_peas: now there should be a button near to the bottom, in the middle(ish) that says (none) | 06:20 |

| MeirD | Hey. I am using "cp -r" to copy a directory, but for some reason ubuntu creates a symbolic link instead of copying the directory | 07:40 |
| MeirD | Why is that? | 07:41 |
| st47 | I'm pretty sure it doesn't | 07:42 |
| st47 | unless it's already a symbolic link | 07:42 |

| JadedJacob | How can I install ubuntu 11.10, but use gnome instead of unity? | 09:48 |
| dax | !nounity | 09:48 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 09:48 |
| komputes | dax: can we update that to include gnome-session-fallback | 09:49 |
| komputes | dax: it's the closest thing to the old-style desktop really | 09:49 |
| dax | komputes: we can't, #ubuntu's ops can | 09:50 |

| bc81 | hey there. i'm on 10.10 maverick and would like to make (or find) a list of all the programs in the gnome main-menu. is this possible? | 10:48 |
| bc81 | there are a ton of programs installed, so it'd be nice to be able to do this automatically somehow | 10:50 |
| irssilassie | bc81: by human name or by program name (Document Reader vs evince) | 10:51 |
| bc81 | irssilassie: either way would be fine, both would be better..no preference | 10:51 |
| simonetta | \list | 10:52 |
| irssilassie | bc81: $ ls /usr/bin/ | 10:52 |

| cnttucme | hello there Its been a long time since i tried using wine to run windows applications but i really need this program for school called ti-83 flash debugger. (its basically a emulator for a calculator.) but when i run the program though wine the gui is all messed up and unfortunately the gui is the part i actually need. any WINE gurus out there? | 10:55 |
| irssilassie | cnttucme: why not just use a Virtual Machine? | 10:55 |
| geospart | oracle Virtual box works well you can run xp without much virtual ram | 10:56 |
| irssilassie | indeed | 10:56 |
| cnttucme | irssilassie: can you link me a forum post about it? i would much rather read about it than crowd up this irc channel | 10:56 |

| bazhang | GirlyGirl, watch the attitude | 12:31 |
| GirlyGirl | bazhang: Watch yours | 12:31 |
| Aster | bluefrog, I know fopen works, I have another page with fopen on the same server, I just need to know how to change file permissions. | 12:32 |
| bluefrog | sudo chmod permissions files | 12:32 |
| Aster | Alright. | 12:32 |
| Shojo_ | bazhang: she can only do this in ubuntu, since windows is not booting | 12:32 |
| apple_cat | GirlyGirl: No one is picking on you, it's just that the only way ubuntu is involved in your problem is that is the only working OS on your system. What you are asking seems to be that you would like to edit the windows boot loader | 12:33 |
| Aster | Thanks. | 12:33 |
| Aster | GirlyGirl: No one is picking on you, that's just how FreeNode generally is. | 12:34 |
| Defusal | can anyone help me troubleshoot shared group permissions, i'm trying to give two users full permissions to a home directory, but i'm getting and issue with certain files | 12:34 |
| apple_cat | Which is why a channel like #windows could help you, because you may find out how to edit the windows bootloader from any OS - | 12:34 |
| Defusal | i have used chgrp and chmod 774 | 12:34 |
| Defusal | so i have no idea what else to try | 12:34 |
| GirlyGirl | Aster: apple_cat: from Linux yes, but bazhang has a knack for contesting everything I say on these channels | 12:34 |
| bazhang | GirlyGirl, lets move on, thats enough | 12:35 |
| bluefrog | Defusal, problems like? | 12:36 |
| Defusal | bluefrog, sftp sync gives a permission error | 12:36 |
| Defusal | Error message from server: Permission denied | 12:36 |
| === max is now known as Guest94100 | ||
| apple_cat | Defusal: does the user you are using have the correct permissions on the remote system? It's quite possible that chmod 774 wouldn't work if you are still not part of the group or owner of the files | 12:38 |
| Defusal | apple_cat, both the users belong to the group | 12:38 |
| Defusal | obviously.. | 12:38 |
| Defusal | if you can suggest anything i can test to try find the problem, i'd appreciate it | 12:39 |
| bluefrog | Defusal, tell us what you do. we are no magician to guess what produces "permission denied" | 12:39 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| apple_cat | Defusal: The filesystem could be mounted read only | 12:39 |
| Defusal | bluefrog, sigh | 12:40 |
| Defusal | that is all the sftp client tells me :( | 12:40 |
| Defusal | apple_cat, it is most certainly not. | 12:40 |
| apple_cat | Defusal: pastebin the command issued and the output | 12:41 |
| nancy-- | what should i put in ns record? | 12:41 |
| Defusal | apple_cat: normal sftp protocol? i did not write the sftp client... | 12:42 |
| Defusal | the point is, it works for *some* files | 12:42 |
| bluefrog | nancy--, http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/dns-references.html#dns-record-types | 12:42 |
| Defusal | but fails for others | 12:42 |
| Defusal | i said that from the beginning, so i need someone to help me find out why | 12:42 |
| Defusal | i have little experience with linux permissions, i have used a single user for everything in the past to avoid this pain | 12:43 |
| Defusal | im starting to regret not doing so | 12:43 |
| Defusal | and if i can't come right soon i'll just have to nake all the daemons and servers run from my personal user | 12:43 |
| === Shojo_ is now known as Shojo | ||
| === iqpi_ is now known as iqpi | ||
| === f3bruary is now known as f3bruary_awaayyy | ||
| Defusal | ok well i can't afford to waste this amount of time | 12:45 |
| Defusal | i'll look at making the directory world accessable | 12:45 |
| bluefrog | bye | 12:45 |
| Defusal | that should work | 12:45 |
| riderplus | jrib i upgraded to 11.04. now it works with SDL out of the box, but I still have no mixer so I can't control the volume from within mp3blaster :( | 12:45 |
| Defusal | even though that is bad practice as far as i know | 12:45 |
| apple_cat | Defusal: I think you misunderstood me, I am asking for the command you type into the terminal and then the output of the command | 12:45 |
| Defusal | apple_cat, the command for what? getting the directories group and permissions? | 12:46 |
| Defusal | setting* | 12:46 |
| Defusal | sudo chgrp -R admin /home/admin; sudo chmod -R 774 /home/admin | 12:46 |
| === Matrixiumn is now known as Chell | ||
| apple_cat | Defusal: You are having problems with permissions -- Permissions to do what? In order for people to help you, we need to know as much information about the problem | 12:47 |
| nancy-- | bluefrog, whaaat about ns and nameservers ? | 12:47 |
| Defusal | apple_cat, i don't know what more you want from me, i have already said i need two users to have full access to the directory which is owned by the group they belong to | 12:47 |
| bluefrog | nancy--, I have already learned all that. if you cannot read the server guide, I cannot do it for you | 12:47 |
| Defusal | when using sftp to sync files, certain files cannot be written to because a permission error | 12:48 |
| Defusal | if you want something else from me, you're going to need to explain exactly what appi_uppi | 12:48 |
| Defusal | apple_cat * | 12:48 |
| apple_cat | Defusal: Are both users members of the group with permissions? | 12:49 |
| Defusal | apple_cat: obviously...... | 12:50 |
| Defusal | i just said they are | 12:50 |
| Defusal | do you not read what i tell you? | 12:50 |
| nancy-- | bluefrog, so that relates to the linux server? no the domain. i mean i have to setup the bind server first to put something like ns1.ip here. ? | 12:50 |
| apple_cat | Defusal: In the past I have had problems with something similar and the issue was resolved after a reboot - As if the effects of adding users into groups does not take effect until after a reboot | 12:51 |
| apple_cat | Defusal: Dude I'm trying to help you, take it easy : ) | 12:51 |
| Defusal | and setting the dir to chmod 777 doesn't work either | 12:51 |
| riderplus | where is the location of the mixer in recent versions of ubuntu? instead of the old /dev/mixer? | 12:52 |
| Defusal | apple_cat, rebooting is not an option, and linux should *never* need to be rebooted. | 12:52 |
| Defusal | you can upgrade the bloody kernel without rebooting, this is not windows | 12:52 |
| Defusal | good god | 12:52 |
| Defusal | i don't understand how permissions can be so damn complicated that no one knows how to make them work :| | 12:53 |
| MonkeyDust | to upgrade the kernel without rebouting, you need oracle's ksplice package | 12:53 |
| MonkeyDust | rebooting* | 12:53 |
| Defusal | regardless, its possible | 12:53 |
| Defusal | my point is, you sure as hell don't need to reboot to fix permission! | 12:53 |
| oCean | Defusal: mind your attitude please | 12:53 |
| Defusal | nevermind, i will just make all processes on the system run from my own user | 12:54 |
| Defusal | i can't waste this amount of time getting no where | 12:54 |
| MonkeyDust | just entered and left several times, i havent followed | 12:54 |
| apple_cat | Defusal: In the past, sadly, I have had issues where permissions did not act correctly until a reboot. I realise this might not be possible or practical in your case, I was just offering you some free advice | 12:54 |
| Defusal | especially if world permissions don't even worl | 12:54 |
| Defusal | work* | 12:54 |
| shalivan | \server quakenet | 12:54 |
| Defusal | apple_cat, then whatever version of ubuntu you were using was terribly bugged | 12:55 |
| Defusal | i have no idea why it is recommended not to use a single user | 12:55 |
| Defusal | but it does not seem possible either way | 12:55 |
| apple_cat | Defusal: The reason there is no quick answer to your problem is because a problem with permissions is hard to solve when: #1 you do not know the command that was issued, #2 you do not know the output from the command issued | 12:56 |
| visof | hello, how can i know am i having Dvd writer or cd writer via software ? | 12:56 |
| radu | hi can anyone help with an apport error i get at boot | 12:56 |
| apple_cat | Defusal: Once more, can you pastebin the command that fails and the error message | 12:56 |
| Defusal | apple_cat: a permission error is a permission error, its due to incorrect permissions, the command and output does not make a big difference | 12:56 |
| MonkeyDust | visof what software do you have installed? | 12:57 |
| Defusal | i will try cause an error locally with ssh before i start moving everything to a single user | 12:57 |
| llutz | visof: wodim -prcap | 12:58 |
| Defusal | apple_cat, i don't seem to be able to cause the issue manually, so i have no idea. | 12:58 |
| Defusal | the most i can get the sftp client to say is: Upload of file 'managed_game_server.rb' was successful, but error occurred while setting the permissions and/or timestamp | 12:59 |
| bluefrog | Defusal, explaining means: I have user1 and user2 each member of principal group <group>. i applied such permissions on folder and so on until the last thing you do to have a permission error. | 12:59 |
| apple_cat | Defusal: Considering you are stuck with a problem you cannot fix on your own, how about trying something different -- Pastebin the command issued and the output (changing any information you are not willing to share) | 12:59 |
| OerHeks | Defusal, did you restart the ssh service for changes take effect? | 12:59 |
| Defusal | bluefrog, i explained that already | 12:59 |
| bluefrog | no | 12:59 |
| bluefrog | Defusal, you explained nada | 12:59 |
| Defusal | bluefrog, i explained everything you said besides the actual error output, since i don't have it. | 13:00 |
| Defusal | OerHeks, since when do you have to do that? | 13:00 |
| Defusal | OerHeks, the ssh client you mean? | 13:00 |
| Defusal | i'm pretty sure you would never have to restart sshd | 13:00 |
| MonkeyDust | Defusal try sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart | 13:01 |
| Bhavesh | I just installed a new copy of Ubuntu 11.10 and Google Chrome. When I plug in my headphones and listen to YouTube videos I hear sound even from my speakers simultaneously | 13:01 |
| Bhavesh | why so? | 13:01 |
| OerHeks | Defusal, yes, i think you need to restart the deamon >> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html | 13:01 |
| bluefrog | Bhavesh, looks like a bug to me. have same problem. was not there with previous versions. need to check with =1 | 13:02 |
| Defusal | MonkeyDust, don't ask me why by theres no sshd init.d script, and 'service ssd' doesn't work either | 13:02 |
| Defusal | so no upstart script | 13:02 |
| Bhavesh | okay | 13:02 |
| Defusal | but sshd is running, obviously | 13:02 |
| MonkeyDust | Defusal it's /etc/init.d/ssh restart, just read it | 13:03 |
| Defusal | OerHeks, so after what exactly do i need to restart sshd? | 13:03 |
| llutz | Defusal: service ssh restart it would be (but not needed) | 13:03 |
| jrib | Defusal: do not use init.d, please use the service command instead | 13:03 |
| riderplus | any idea of what the mixer device is in ubuntu? i keep searching but didn't find anything yet | 13:03 |
| Defusal | MonkeyDust, yeah you said sshd, which i have used to restart it in the past, it must have changed with the new ubuntu | 13:03 |
| MonkeyDust | Defusal why not just do what's adviced here, instead of asking why | 13:03 |
| Defusal | jrib, i know this, you should be telling MonkeyDust and llutz that ;) | 13:04 |
| llutz | Defusal: ? | 13:04 |
| Defusal | MonkeyDust, because i'd like to know why, so i don't need to randomly restart it 10000 times in the future, incase its needed, because i don't know when its actually needed... | 13:04 |
| oCean | Defusal: you're using sftp right? Try running with -vv, it might hint you what the error is actually about | 13:04 |
| riderplus | i appreciate any answer :) | 13:05 |
| Defusal | im not new to linux, but i have never heard of needing to restart sshd for permissions, so i'd like to know exactly when that is necessary | 13:05 |
| Defusal | oCean, i am unfortuantly using a scripted windows client :/ | 13:05 |
| * jrib guesses it's the client's fault even though he has no clue what the issue is | 13:05 | |
| OerHeks | Defusal, it was a wild guess. and you said earlier: some files will and some files won't .. are those files in the same folder? | 13:06 |
| Defusal | and restarting the sshd did not help | 13:06 |
| bluefrog | riderplus, no more dev/mixer. need to use alsa and or pulseaudio | 13:06 |
| Defusal | OerHeks, they're all a part of a directory in this home directory which belongs to the group | 13:06 |
| oCean | Defusal: have you tried logging in, cd'ing to /tmp and upload a file there? | 13:07 |
| riderplus | bluefrog i need it for an app, namely mp3blaster. so what can i put instead of /dev/mixer? | 13:07 |
| Defusal | oCean, how would that solve this issue.... | 13:07 |
| apple_cat | riderplus: alsa and pulse audio are used, though pulse audio does have some backwards compatibility for oss | 13:07 |
| oCean | Defusal: just to make sure it *is* a permission problem on the homedir you are trying to acccess | 13:07 |
| Defusal | oCean, well if it works fine for other files in the same dir, it clearly is... | 13:07 |
| bluefrog | riderplus, dunno | 13:08 |
| oCean | Defusal: so you're saying it's just one file you can't upload? | 13:08 |
| Defusal | one that i have found so far | 13:08 |
| Defusal | i have only changed a few files | 13:08 |
| riderplus | apple_cat: so what's the appropriate setting, i mean mp3blaster needs a mixer, if there's no /dev/mixer what can i put instead? | 13:08 |
| Defusal | i cannot continue until i can sync this file, so i have no idea what other files have the issue | 13:08 |
| bluefrog | riderplus, maybe an answer here for you https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+question/121773 | 13:09 |
| Defusal | which is why i started off by asking of someone could help troubleshoot the permissions | 13:09 |
| Defusal | bleh | 13:09 |
| apple_cat | riderplus: try running the command with 'padsp' | 13:09 |
| Defusal | ok well, its been 30 mins already, that is far too much time wasted on this, i have no choice but to dump the system user and make everything run under my own account and root :/ | 13:10 |
| riderplus | apple_cat thanks, but if you can look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11774981&posted=1#post11774981 | 13:10 |
| Stalker | bonjour à tou(te)s | 13:10 |
| Defusal | thanks for trying to help anyway :( | 13:10 |
| Defusal | pity linux permissions just don't work how they're supposed to | 13:10 |
| jrib | Defusal: well your last statement isn't true at all, but good luck | 13:10 |
| Defusal | jrib, if it were not, i wouldn't have this issue | 13:11 |
| Defusal | even though i have not needed to use group permissions before, i did my research | 13:11 |
| Defusal | theres nothing more to it than adding the group to the users, making the dir belong to the group and having chmod 774 | 13:12 |
| apple_cat | riderplus: so padsp no longer works? | 13:12 |
| jrib | Defusal: if you want help with your issue: describe it in one line with finer details in a pastebin. Make sure your description is as complete as possible with specific details. You may have done this before over several lines, but it makes it hard for more recent arrivals to help you | 13:12 |
| Defusal | and since no one here can tell me any other possible reason for this behaviour, it clearly doesnt work as it should be | 13:12 |
| riderplus | apple_cat: it works, but it's the same as running with SDL audio driver - mp3blaster doesn't see any mixer | 13:12 |
| riderplus | so you can't control the volume from within the program | 13:13 |
| Defusal | i just have to hope this isnt a bug in the ubuntu version, i can't afford to have a bugged server | 13:13 |
| * jrib eyes FloodBot2 | 13:13 | |
| Defusal | jrib, there are not many things that can be wrong with permissions, so i don't see how wasting my time with this anymore is going to get anywhere | 13:14 |
| MaindotC | what does this mean: awk 'x !~ $8; {x=$8}' | 13:14 |
| Defusal | if there were other edge cases that could be causing it, im sure someone would have mentioned them by now | 13:14 |
| jrib | Defusal: that's fine. Keep in mind this channel is used by many who do want help. So if you don't, please move on to something else | 13:14 |
| Defusal | i wanted help, but clearly there is no help that can be given | 13:15 |
| Defusal | so thanks anyway | 13:15 |
| jrib | Defusal: I've told you what you need to do if you want help. Do that if you want help. If you don't then please stop discussing your issue here. | 13:15 |
| Defusal | jrib, i wanted someone to suggest what possible other reason there could be for permissions to not work correctly, i know for a fact there are not many. | 13:16 |
| jrib | Defusal: ok. | 13:16 |
| jrib | MaindotC: there's a #awk on freenode you might want to try | 13:16 |
| Defusal | since i know by file system is not read only, and its only certain files that have the issue, there are even less possibilities | 13:16 |
| hello_kitty_ | Is there someone here who can help me with LAMP servers? | 13:17 |
| MaindotC | thanks jrib I never even thought of that | 13:17 |
| jrib | !ask | hello_kitty_ | 13:17 |
| ubottu | hello_kitty_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 13:17 |
| Defusal | but it seems there are either no other possibilities, or else no one who is currently around knows of any, so i will have to take the ugly route | 13:17 |
| bluefrog | MaindotC, or use a virtualised OS to try the command out | 13:17 |
| hello_kitty_ | !ask | 13:17 |
| MaindotC | bluefrog: I am already using the command in a script I'm just trying to understand why it works | 13:18 |
| hello_kitty_ | How can I access the www/vars folder from mt LAMP server? | 13:18 |
| Defusal | i just have to hope that i don't have this issue when a user process needs to access files owned by root, if that happens i will be completely screwed. | 13:18 |
| bluefrog | MaindotC, ok | 13:18 |

| Guest46321 | hello | 13:22 |
| riderplus | i'll post the solution on the thread | 13:22 |
| bazhang | MaindotC, asking the bots wont do anything | 13:22 |
| apple_cat | riderplus: +karma | 13:22 |
| MaindotC | bazhang you're an expert ? | 13:22 |
| bazhang | MaindotC, it's a bot. | 13:23 |
| MaindotC | bazhang: are you an expert ? Are you ? | 13:23 |
| pangolin | as a matter of fact he is | 13:23 |
| monohedron_ | it is | 13:23 |

| pangolin | VERSION qwebirc | 13:26 |
| MonkeyDust | MaindotC if you're using irssi, you can /ignore joins parts quits modes nicks -- not sure if it works for other irc clients | 13:26 |
| MaindotC | pangolin: I don't know who you are or what information you are trying to steal from me and I urge you to have the same attitude toward others on the "internet" | 13:27 |
| MaindotC | trust NO ONE | 13:27 |
| riderplus | apple_cat: crap, i can see the mixer and change the volume, but the volume doesn't change :D | 13:27 |
| riderplus | this is never-ending. i should take a break | 13:27 |
| greg | HI ALL | 13:27 |
| pangolin | MaindotC, that attitude makes it very hard for anyone to help you | 13:27 |
| apple_cat | riderplus: oh no... Maybe passing options to padsp too could help | 13:27 |
| pangolin | good luck. | 13:27 |
| bazhang | MaindotC, ask in #freenode how to use ignore with that client | 13:28 |
| riderplus | apple_cat: yeah it's playground. i should try some other options before posting the thread | 13:28 |
| Therion87 | Not really what I as talking about MonkeyDust | 13:29 |
| nancy-- | if i need to setup my domains with my vps. what things do i need to setup? | 13:29 |
| apple_cat | riderplus: Just as a side note there are a few other command line players, in particular xmms which has some pretty fancy remote control capabilities (like using a phone or another device) | 13:29 |
| pangolin | nancy--, ask your vps provider | 13:29 |
| nancy-- | they dont support | 13:30 |
| nancy-- | pangolin, this is a linux question. | 13:30 |
| bazhang | apple_cat, xmms2 perhaps you mean | 13:30 |

| vanitas | how can i get oblivion to run with wine? i followed all the instructions on the ubuntu forums post, but i get a crash. can someone help me? | 13:31 |
| mirak | hi | 13:31 |
| bazhang | !blacklist | Giles | 13:31 |
| ubottu | Giles: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 13:31 |
| bazhang | vanitas, what does the appdb show | 13:31 |
| apple_cat | vanitas: are you using winetricks? | 13:31 |
| bazhang | vanitas, #winehq for particular apps help | 13:31 |
| mirak | is there a way to run the ubuntu alternate installer from a running distribution ? | 13:32 |
| bazhang | !appdb | vanitas | 13:32 |
| ubottu | vanitas: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 13:32 |
| vanitas | bazhanag, it doesn't show much. | 13:32 |
| mirak | debootstrap lacks the graphical and step by step process | 13:32 |
| bazhang | mirak, you mean to a usb key? | 13:32 |
| Giles | bazhang: The problem is that I think the module controls two devices, the "DualPoint Stick" and the "Touchpad", I don't want to disable the TouchPad just the stick, so I think I need to do it via device name | 13:33 |
| mirak | bazhang, what ? no | 13:33 |
| bazhang | mirak, then more details please | 13:34 |
| nancy-- | i have a .com domain. and a vps. how to host my site? | 13:35 |
| mirak | bazhang, I have a multi boot, and i want to install ubuntu on another partition. THat's lvm partition on mdam raid | 13:35 |
| mirak | bazhang, deboostrap is part of what I need of course, but deboostrap doesn't automatically creates fstab, doesn't install kernel, it needs to chroot etcetera. | 13:36 |

| mirak | bazhang, I want to have the same facilities than an alternate iso installer, but from within a running ubuntu. | 13:36 |
| Shojo | no way | 13:36 |

| Shojo | i hate myself so much | 13:38 |
| MestreLion | but that script only exists in Natty | 13:38 |

| MonkeyDust | MestreLion 10.10 will be End Of Life as of next month, better upgrade | 13:38 |
| bazhang | MestreLion, what do you need it to accomplish | 13:38 |
| pangolin | Shojo, it happens to us all, change the password and move on :) | 13:38 |
| mirak | bazhang, what i want is the step by step installer that is provided on the alternate cd, and be able to run it inside a running ubuntu. I wonder why it was never made | 13:40 |
| MestreLion | bazhang: I need a way to backport some packages, I want to do that in a safe, proper way | 13:40 |
| mirak | bazhang, i will maybe just run an iso from grub | 13:40 |
| MestreLion | And of course I would do that only for a carefully selected packages that have no dependent packaages | 13:40 |
| bazhang | MestreLion, a ppa perhaps | 13:41 |

| MonkeyDust | MestreLion or an idea for Ubuntu Brainstorm? | 13:41 |
| MestreLion | which idea MonkeyDust ? | 13:42 |
| Shojo | pangolin: don't hit a person when they're down | 13:42 |
| pangolin | Shojo, nobody is hitting you | 13:42 |
| Shojo | CTCP... | 13:42 |
| MestreLion | MonkeyDust: I'm not sure how Ubuntu Brainstorm would fit my issue | 13:43 |
| MonkeyDust | MestreLion the thing you're wondering about why it was never made, submit your idea here (actually this is off-topic) http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ | 13:43 |
| Shojo | pangolin: don't CTCP a person when they're down, ok? | 13:43 |
| pangolin | Shojo, if you go into your Network List you can set your nickserv password in the "server password" field and it will auto identify for you. | 13:43 |
| bazhang | MonkeyDust, suggesting brainstorm is a ok , there is a factoid for it | 13:43 |

| joe_china | [red] | 13:45 |
| MestreLion | bazhang: if a given app has a PPA, I use it... but not of them have... so I was thinking about making my own PPA for backports... but that's a very time-consuming workflow... and I would be reinventing the wheel, since there is already a scrip to aid that | 13:45 |
| pangolin | Shojo, forgive me for trying to help you and save you the embarrassment of having to reset your nickserv password every few hours. | 13:45 |
| bazhang | joe_china, whats the issue | 13:46 |
| joe_china | bazhang: the graphical performance is awful on UBUNTU 11.10 | 13:46 |
| Damionas | im having an issue can someone help me | 13:46 |
| MestreLion | MonkeyDust: I have no idea what are you talking about "wondering about why it was never made"... | 13:47 |
| bazhang | Damionas, ask the channel | 13:47 |
| bazhang | joe_china, what video card, what drivers, how installed | 13:47 |
| Therion87 | MestreLion, there is a script for bkacports? | 13:47 |
| MonkeyDust | MestreLion my mistake, wrong nick, it was mirak who said that | 13:47 |
| Damionas | im trying to install ubuntu 11.10 and during the install the graphis goes all wonky or blocky | 13:47 |
| joe_china | bazhang: all are default setting, i installed ubuntu 11.10 dirrectly.. did not do any config.. | 13:48 |
| mrfunk | anyone knows how to open specific ports in ubuntu? | 13:48 |
| MestreLion | Therion87: there is... called "backportpackage" in "ubuntu-dev-scripts" package | 13:48 |
| Damionas | how can i fix this issue | 13:48 |
| bazhang | joe_china, and what video card>what drivers, how were they installed | 13:48 |
| llutz | mrfunk: theres nothing blocking ports by default so just start a service listening and the "port wil be open" | 13:48 |
| joe_china | bazhang: let me check.. | 13:48 |
| Therion87 | That's for creating your own backports? | 13:48 |
| mrfunk | llutz: i know thats how it should be working, but im running this game under wine and i cannot host any games because nobody can join | 13:49 |
| Damionas | ati radeon 6790 and i cant even get to that point i get the first screen as a keyboard and after that my screen just wont show nothin | 13:49 |
| MestreLion | yes Therion87 ... and I would like to know the caveats of it | 13:49 |
| llutz | mrfunk: so why don't you ask your real question then? | 13:49 |
| Therion87 | Me too | 13:49 |
| Therion87 | Damionas are you booting in compatiability mode? | 13:50 |
| Damionas | i dont know how | 13:50 |
| Therion87 | Or hit F12 during boot and use the nomodeset option | 13:50 |
| mrfunk | llutz: haha im so sorry man, how do you open ports under wine | 13:50 |
| Therion87 | See if that helps | 13:50 |
| MestreLion | the ironic thing is... the script itself was not backported to neither Lucid nor Maverick | 13:50 |
| Damionas | what will F12 do for me | 13:51 |
| Therion87 | F12 bring you to alternive boot options I believe | 13:51 |
| Therion87 | I think it's F12 | 13:52 |
| mrfunk | llutz: i thought nobody would answer me because wine runs inside ubuntu or something, you are right i should have asked the right question in the first place | 13:52 |

| MestreLion | mrfunk: ports are opened in your router | 13:53 |
| ludwig__ | come out, let's talking | 13:53 |
| mirak | MonkeyDust, someguy suggested to run debian installer | 13:53 |
| mrfunk | MestreLion: i dont have a router, i have a modem | 13:53 |
| mirak | MonkeyDust, but I don't remember having succes with it | 13:53 |
| MestreLion | mrfunk: are you using any firewall? | 13:53 |
| mrfunk | MestreLion: i used to have a router then i changed to a modem because of this, i used to be able to host games with this same modem | 13:53 |
| mrfunk | MestreLion: not that i know of | 13:53 |
| rebecca | Can Ubuntu get viruses? If so, what code do I type on Terminal to solve this problem? It keeps bluescreening me; Ubuntu seems to have crashed after I updated it to ver. 11.10 | 13:54 |
| MonkeyDust | mirak ubuntu != debian | 13:54 |
| dlentz | rebecca, bluescreen? | 13:54 |
| bazhang | MonkeyDust, the alternate cd is called the debian-installer | 13:54 |
| rebecca | yes, | 13:54 |
| MonkeyDust | rebecca wubi? | 13:54 |
| rebecca | pardon | 13:54 |
| MonkeyDust | ok so no | 13:54 |
| MestreLion | mrfunk: google for "Shields Up" website... there you can find if your ports are opened, closed of stealth | 13:55 |
| radu | hi can anyone tell me hos to get rid of this error i get at boot | 13:55 |
| rebecca | the whole screen turns black, then blue, then it shows error reports and occasionaly shuts off | 13:55 |
| radu | udevd[863]: failed to execute '/usr/share/apport/apport-gpu-error-intel.py' '/usr/share/apport/apport-gpu-error-intel.py': No such file or directory | 13:55 |
| MonkeyDust | rebecca i'm asking, because blue screen is a windows thing and wubi is ubuntu inside windows | 13:55 |
| radu | it appears i don't have that file | 13:55 |
| mirak | MonkeyDust, ubuntu uses debian installer | 13:55 |
| rebecca | ok, sorry thats the term i use, ok, wubi.. | 13:55 |
| mrfunk | should i type specifically the ports used by this game? | 13:56 |
| joe_china | bazhang: joe@joe-AOD270:~$ lspci|grep VGA | 13:56 |
| joe_china | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Cedarview Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) | 13:56 |
| rebecca | so... it keeps "wubi"-ing me then? | 13:56 |
| MonkeyDust | rebecca no, forget wubi ;) | 13:56 |
| rebecca | oh ok! | 13:56 |
| MestreLion | mrfunk: run a "all ports" test just to see if you're firewalled or not | 13:57 |
| joe_china | integrated video chip in CPU N2600 | 13:57 |
| radu | anyone? | 13:57 |
| rebecca | but how do i fix this with terminal? i can't run EdUbuntu because it wont run properly! Recovery mode doesn't help :( | 13:57 |
| joe_china | bazhang: joe@joe-AOD270:~$ lspci|grep VGA | 13:57 |

| rebecca | windows SUCKS | 13:58 |
| bazhang | joe_china, and what version of drivers did you install, if any, from additional drivers | 13:58 |
| MestreLion | rebecca: are you running Ubuntu inside windows? | 13:58 |
| mrfunk | MestreLion: what does it mean when they are stealth? | 13:58 |
| dlentz | joe_china, iirc cedarview = poulsbo | 13:58 |
| dlentz | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo | 13:58 |
| dlentz | you have my deepest sympathies | 13:59 |
| Therion87 | Did you run a memtest rebecca | 13:59 |
| MestreLion | mrfunk: if all (or most) of your ports < 1050 are stealth, it means you are firewalled | 13:59 |
| joe_china | dlentz: thx, im upto check | 13:59 |
| rebecca | ubuntu and windows are on the same hard drive for me, i can just switch between both, is it possible for ubuntu to pick up a virus from windows | 13:59 |
| rebecca | yes, i ran memtest | 13:59 |
| Therion87 | Ubuntu shouldn't get a vitrus from Windows | 13:59 |
| MestreLion | no rebecca, Ubuntu is immune to viruses at all | 13:59 |
| Therion87 | It's possible you might have a rootkit but I doubt it | 13:59 |
| MestreLion | specially windows ones | 13:59 |
| ironhalik | anyone using dropbear? How can I kill idle connections without killing the daemon? Or make the daemon autorestart when killed? | 14:00 |
| Therion87 | There are Linux viruses vary rare tho | 14:00 |
| mrfunk | MestreLion: how can i find out which firewall is causing this? | 14:00 |
| rebecca | thats what i thought, but how come it won't run properly? the only way i can run ubuntu is through low graphics mode | 14:00 |
| MonkeyDust | rebecca a windows virus won't work on ubuntu, but the question is: how did you install ubuntu? inside windows, or using a live cd? | 14:00 |
| MestreLion | mrfunk: maybe you have ufw installed... how would I know? :P | 14:00 |
| Therion87 | If you are wary tho download system rescure and boot to it run freshclam in the terminal | 14:00 |

| bluefrog | Zaitzev, well année is a 5 letter word, which you want no? | 14:10 |
| Zaitzev | what? | 14:10 |
| MestreLion | Aster: you could use chmod g+w /var/www/qdb ... but, seriously, if you are afraid of reading man chmod, or are scared to use that command, you should not administer websites anyway | 14:10 |
| mrfunk | MestreLion: okay okay, it worked now, thank you very much for helping me out man, im sorry for this stupid mistake, have a very nice day :) | 14:10 |
| MestreLion | mrfunk: I'm glad it worked, but... it's not over yet | 14:11 |
| bluefrog | Zaitzev, æøåé@ is a 5 letter word so it is normal it appears in the search... | 14:11 |
| Zaitzev | bluefrog: the dict-file I'm searching through is Norwegian, and has a ton of words with æ, ø or å in it, and when I did the grep, words longer than 5 chars are included. | 14:11 |

| mr | i having some audio trouble can anyone help??? | 14:30 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: can't help. i use the Free "radeon" drivers for my AMD grfx | 14:30 |
| Mikey^ | dxsoulmig: did you check the wiki? | 14:30 |
| dxsoulmig | yeh, i dont seem to have drivers setup | 14:30 |
| bluefrog | Zaitzev, print lines with 5 char words | put one word per line | print lines with 5 char and put the result in log | 14:30 |
| gfc | setting | 14:31 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: why do you think you need the proprietary AMD drivers instead of the Free ones? | 14:31 |
| MestreLion | dxsoulmig: does System > Additional Drivers list any proprietary driver? | 14:31 |
| MonkeyDust | mr what kind of audio trouble? | 14:31 |
| dxsoulmig | none in additional drivers | 14:31 |
| Zaitzev | bluefrog: It still includes words longer than 5 characters if the word has æ,ø or å in it though | 14:32 |

| bluefrog | Zaitzev, tough luck. | 14:42 |
| wahid | Kernel_Panic, Brasero1 | 14:42 |
| Zaitzev | bluefrog: it might have to with the keyboard layout or something as well? | 14:43 |
| Zaitzev | idk. | 14:43 |
| wahid | Kernel_Panic, Brasero! | 14:43 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: And that's the problem : whenever a new kernel is edited, it's going to shift the list by 2 steps and my wife's going to go into cardiac arrest when she sees MemTest+.... | 14:43 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: kernel updates do not change the default either... they only add a new entry to the list... but it doesn't touch your /etc/default/grub | 14:43 |
| bluefrog | Zaitzev, no bash command is a bash command. it does'nt care the layout of the keyboard | 14:43 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok: no output bro | 14:43 |
| Da3m0n2 | hello, I have an VPS with ubuntu server and 2 IPs.. now how can I use the other IP and lunch 2 eggs for example with the 2 ips ? | 14:43 |
| Kernel_Panic | wahid, Hmm. What did you burn? The filesystem you burnt might not support mounting. | 14:44 |
| llutz | Zaitzev: check "locale" | 14:44 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok: pretty fresh when it comes to linux. | 14:44 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: only in Lucid and Maverick... on Natty onwards older kernels are always in the "previous kernels" sublist | 14:44 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: is the machine not displaying video correctly? | 14:44 |
| wahid | Kernel_Panic, OK, I burn with other program and test it! | 14:44 |
| wahid | Kernel_Panic, Thank you! ;) | 14:44 |
| Kernel_Panic | wahid, I don't believe NFTS can be mounted from a CD ROM from my experience. | 14:45 |
| Zaitzev | bluefrog: http://i.imgur.com/Nr1kp.jpg | 14:45 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: Well, I must have something faulty because the first kernel upgrade that happened reset the default to Ubuntu (when I had changed it to Windows with startup-manager) and ever since it's been ignoring my attemps to change it (but again with startup.manager; I'll try it manually to see what happens). | 14:45 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: | 14:46 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok: i feel the video on stream is sluggish, was never like that, im thinking whether the prop drivers might be better, but seems ok. 3d works ok, compiz etc | 14:46 |
| mneptok | ackbahr: you know what they say about editing GRUB config files manually ... "IT'S A TRAP!" | 14:46 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: you may use the menu title instead of # | 14:46 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok: why wouldnt the prop drivers be better? | 14:46 |
| MestreLion | mneptok: he is not editing not grub.cfg... | 14:46 |
| ackbahr | mneptok: I meant manually as opposed to using startup-manager. | 14:47 |
| bluefrog | Zaitzev, what's your shell? env | grep -i shell | 14:47 |
| bluefrog | Zaitzev, and what's your locale as llutz suggested? | 14:47 |
| Zaitzev | SHELL=/bin/bash | 14:47 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: and you should avoid using startup-manager... it is meant for grub1, not grub2.. it's support of gub2 is really buggy | 14:47 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: well, for one proprietary software makes you depenedent upon a singkle vendor for fixes. also, on my AMD E-350 APU ThinkPad, the proprietary AMD drivers render the machine unbootable. | 14:48 |
| Zaitzev | bluefrog: and en_US.UTF-8 | 14:48 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: But 10.04 already used Grub2, didn't it? | 14:48 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok:hmmm | 14:48 |
| MestreLion | yes, it was the first | 14:48 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok:how do i know what drivers im using? | 14:48 |
| bluefrog | Zaitzev, am at a loss to explain then. | 14:49 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok: and if its all working ?? | 14:49 |
| MestreLion | dxsoulmig: stop saying that the proprietary drivers are the "proper" ones... | 14:49 |
| Onkeltem | Any ideas why Ctrl-C doesn't work in terminal at all? | 14:49 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: that's certainly not true for everyone. many people use the AMD proprietary drivers. but i don't. and if your machine is mostly working, why take the chance of breaking something for a few extra FPS? | 14:49 |
| llutz | Zaitzev: try "LANG=no_NO.utf8 yourcommand" | 14:49 |
| Zaitzev | bluefrog: it's weird that's what :P | 14:49 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: I'm nearly sure I used it successfully then.... Well, so I'm going to stay clear of it from now on... | 14:49 |
| Zaitzev | llutz: what, why? | 14:49 |
| MestreLion | dxsoulmig: you have an ancient card that is not supported by the proprietary drivers | 14:49 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: look through the full output of "lsmod" | 14:49 |
| dxsoulmig | MestreLion: i didnt say that bro | 14:50 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: it works only for very basic stuff... but since grub2 is different than grub1, most of it's features will be simply ignored | 14:50 |
| llutz | Zaitzev: locales affecting valid characters in regexp words etc. | 14:50 |
| bluefrog | llutz, problem with that is that all unicode charecter (i mean strange char) are not in the list now | 14:50 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok: what is the command line> | 14:51 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: "lsmod" | 14:51 |
| Zaitzev | llutz: yeah, but I think you're thinking about it the wrong way | 14:51 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok: and what should i bee looking for? | 14:51 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: look for anything relating to video that will tell you what driver you are using. | 14:51 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: what are you using? Lucid, Maverick... ? | 14:52 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: because from Natty onwards, new kernels will not make grub's list shift | 14:52 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: And as for the number of OSs, which should I use? With the sublist collapsed or not? If yes, where can I find the list actually displayed by Grub? - 11.10 | 14:52 |
| Onkeltem | Any ideas why Ctrl-C doesn't work in terminal at all? | 14:52 |
| dxsoulmig | mneotok: uvcvideo 67271 0 | 14:53 |
| MonkeyDust | Zaitzev there's the command setxkbmap, e.g. setxkbmap us => replace 'us' by the code for Norway | 14:53 |
| Aster | You need to highlight the text with your mouse and right-click "copy" :P | 14:53 |

| ackbahr | MestreLion: I noticed that too... Plus a spaecy-planet background (that I don't really like, BTW) | 14:53 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: "video" is in that line, but it's misleading. that's not the video driver. keep looking. | 14:53 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: you can change the background in the same file | 14:53 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: Ok.... | 14:54 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: you can also use the menu title instead of it's number | 14:54 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: also, the X1200 is a very old chip. you're not going to get great performance no matter what driver you use. | 14:54 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: That's nice to know! | 14:54 |
| Onkeltem | Aster: thanks, but Ctrl-C is for sending signals | 14:54 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok: video 18908 0 ati_agp 13242 0 | 14:55 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: the actual list that update-grub generates after its OS scan is.... /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 14:55 |
| Aster | Onkeltem, Oh :P I'm a derp. | 14:55 |
| MestreLion | the one you should not edit (because it is auto-generated and overwritten whenever you run update-grub) | 14:55 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok: thats all i reckon unless i private you the whole thing, i get its old, but under windows it worked no probs, just trying to get the same results | 14:55 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: but it is perfectly fine for you to look at, and see what the actual list grub will use look like | 14:56 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: I think I got that one... :) But again, counting stuff in the submenu or not? | 14:56 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: you don't need to count.. use the title instead of number :) | 14:56 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: try man grub-set-default | 14:57 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: well, you can give up on the proprietary drivers, as that chipset (X1xxx) is not supported by AMD any more. | 14:57 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: Not very explicit.... I'll try copying the name from /boot/grub/brub.cfg (with quotes) and use it in /etc/default/grub. | 14:58 |

| MestreLion | ackbahr: it should work | 14:59 |
| mneptok | dxsoulmig: the drivers included for that chipset in the Linux kernel. | 14:59 |
| MestreLion | dxsoulmig: you are using the radeon, free drivers, which DO support your card | 14:59 |
| Zaitzev | MonkeyDust: My problem isn't getting non-norwegian results, which I do. The problem is that when I do the command, it returns words longer than 5 characters if that longer words contain an æ,ø or å (Norwegian letters). | 14:59 |

| Zaitzev | MonkeyDust: effectively ignoring the filtering if it contains either of those 3 letters. | 15:00 |
| MestreLion | dxsoulmig: you could write AMD and ask them to provide a proprietary driver for your card, since they don't provide one but the Linux Kernel does | 15:00 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: that is for expanding variables, not for config files | 15:00 |

| mneptok | dxsoulmig: that 3 year old driver ... does the Linux kernel at the 3 series still support the ABI necessary to make the driver function? | 15:03 |
| Therion87 | http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx I suppose that doesn't work with the new kernels? | 15:04 |
| dxsoulmig | mneptok: when i check what drivers im using in the graphics section it says none | 15:05 |

| === guy is now known as Guest22066 | ||
| MestreLion | nfs1mw: given the detailed error messages you posted, I suggest you simply reinstall it :P | 15:13 |
| nuxx | hello | 15:13 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: Works! thanks a lot. | 15:13 |
| nuxx | which command to use to clean usb | 15:14 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: nice :D | 15:14 |
| Kernel_Panic | SnakesAndStuff, Try this: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug and look at their forums for further help. | 15:14 |
| dxsoulmig | MestreLion: thanks all | 15:14 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: also, for the background... | 15:14 |
| SnakesAndStuff | Kernel_Panic: Does the fact that the modules are not being loaded support that it might be an alsa problem? | 15:14 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: you can simply copy any image to /boot/grub | 15:14 |
| xds594 | how to use | 15:14 |
| xds594 | tab | 15:14 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: and it will be read by update-grub | 15:14 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: Got rid of it (console is what I prefer), but thanks for the advice if I find a nice picture to put there! | 15:15 |
| Kernel_Panic | SnakesAndStuff, Perhaps. Try googling around and see what comes up. | 15:15 |
| SnakesAndStuff | Kernel_Panic: Have tried. | 15:15 |
| SnakesAndStuff | Kernel_Panic: However, I find it odd that this happened at an upgrade point. | 15:15 |
| SnakesAndStuff | Everything was 100% until I rebooted yesterday. | 15:15 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: put one of your wife.. she will be proud now that her windows is the default one :P | 15:15 |
| Kernel_Panic | SnakesAndStuff, Maybe you could try and run an older version of ALSA then. I'm not very knowledgeable on ALSA and PulseAudio. Sorry. | 15:16 |
| guy_ | hi all, i'm having an issue with grub2: it's not modifying my boot list. i think it may have to do with starting out on lmde and then adding ubuntu afterwards? | 15:16 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: Yeah, right.... You can't imagine how she hates computers! Especially when they don't look like a piece of house or a half-eaten fruit.... | 15:16 |
| SnakesAndStuff | locate snd-emu10k1 | 15:16 |

| MestreLion | ackbahr: lol, I'm familiar with that.... but eventually I managed to install Zorin OS in my girlfriend laptop... | 15:17 |
| nuxx | yes to remove other os to get new os on | 15:17 |
| guy_ | thanks Fyodorovna i'll check that now | 15:17 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: What is it? | 15:17 |
| bazhang | !alis | tbrown2012 | 15:17 |
| ubottu | tbrown2012: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 15:17 |
| bazhang | nuxx, thats not a command | 15:18 |
| Fyodorovna | guy_, in the terminal sudo apt-get install os-prober | 15:18 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: it's an Ubuntu remix specially designed to look just like what your wife is confortable with.. google for it ;) | 15:18 |
| bazhang | !unetbootin | nuxx | 15:18 |

| guy_ | thanks Fyodorovna it's already installed | 15:18 |
| nuxx | omg | 15:18 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: Just saw it.... Looks nice! Indeed, with the proper look Windows users wouldn't notice a thing... | 15:19 |
| Fyodorovna | guy_, so do you have more then one OS on the computer? | 15:19 |
| MonkeyDust | ackbahr i havent followed, saw what? | 15:19 |
| guy_ | Fyodorovna yes, originally it was dual-boot with linux mint debian edition and doze. then i added ubuntu as well | 15:19 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: yup... it is a perfect look for gf's, moms and aunts... and it is 100% Ubuntu under the hood (11.04) | 15:20 |
| SnakesAndStuff | When I try to manually install my sound modules, I get "FATAL: Module snd_emu10k1 not found" | 15:20 |
| SnakesAndStuff | The full path should not be needed when referring to modules by name, correct? | 15:20 |
| ackbahr | MonkeyDust: Zorin OS | 15:20 |
| Fyodorovna | guy_, ubuuntu was installed last? | 15:20 |
| tbrown2012 | #fyodorovna I have red hat linux using a virtual machine what do you have:) | 15:20 |
| nuxx | unetbootin cant format properly | 15:20 |
| guy_ | Fyodorovna yes | 15:20 |
| kapz | I need help with libreoffice calc functions...can anyone point me to the right directin please? | 15:20 |
| nuxx | i use it to install | 15:20 |
| bazhang | nuxx, you want to create ubuntu on a usb? | 15:20 |
| guy_ | Fyodorovna somehow all of the right kernel entries show up in the grub.cfg file but not in the list at boot | 15:21 |
| bazhang | <nuxx> yes to remove other os to get new os on | 15:21 |
| MestreLion | kapz: there are tons of documentation about calc functions in the web... but I may help you. | 15:21 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: 11.04 was a good one, on top of it.... And can you have all the console fun you want, too? | 15:21 |
| tbrown2012 | Does anyone know what the root of 66 is lol | 15:21 |
| Fyodorovna | guy_, what is missing in the boot menu? | 15:21 |
| bazhang | tbrown2012, thats not ontopic here | 15:22 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: of course... it IS ubuntu ... | 15:22 |
| guy_ | Fyodorovna the new ubuntu kernels | 15:22 |
| tbrown2012 | #bazhang Just jazzing stuff up here sorry | 15:22 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: same repos, same everything... even lsb-release says it's natty | 15:22 |
| guy_ | Fyodorovna everything shows up properly in grub customizer as well | 15:22 |
| bazhang | tbrown2012, jazzing up in #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:22 |
| Fyodorovna | guy_, did yoiu install those or did it come in a update upgrade | 15:22 |
| tbrown2012 | How to connect to a server using virtual box runing ubuntu | 15:23 |
| Fyodorovna | you* | 15:23 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: I'll try it someday. Now I'll have a look at my gnome3 problem. | 15:23 |
| bazhang | MestreLion, zorin is not a supported OS, why suggest it | 15:23 |
| guy_ | Fyodorovna came in the update upgrade | 15:23 |
| MestreLion | ackbahr: they just added a nice menu (GnoMenu), a charming icon theme, and a sweet spash | 15:23 |
| tbrown2012 | How to connect to a server using virtual box runing ubuntu | 15:23 |
| Fyodorovna | guy_, so is ubuntu or debian controlling the boot? | 15:23 |
| MestreLion | bazhang: I'm suggesting it, not supporting it :P | 15:23 |
| konam | i don't know if i'm the only one but firefox lately keeps maximizing its window automatically. it's getting really annoying. it seems to happen when it finish loading a page or something. is there a way to get rid of this or is anyone else experiencing it on ubuntu? it didn't seem to happen before but it's happening now after the last couple of updates... | 15:24 |
| bazhang | MestreLion, yet they will come back here for support, which we dont give | 15:24 |
| guy_ | Fyodorovna 3.0-15 and 16 are installed but 12 is the last showing. i thought ubuntu was but i'm assuming it must be debian. how to check? | 15:24 |
| Ganymede | I have an Ubuntu Hardy server that was powered off uncleanly and now I'd like it to start up but it's spending a really long time checking disk. How can I reboot it but skip disk check? I tried appending "fastboot" to the boot line but it's still checknig. I'm okay with minor data loss. | 15:24 |
| tbrown2012 | konam if you having trouple see what the issue is when you start it up what the first problem so it will get rezoveld | 15:24 |
| === genupulas is now known as cool | ||
| hafos | I tried to install ubuntu but failed, probably because I use raid0... I had to fix the mbr. How do I proceed to install ubuntu, this time including proper drivers? | 15:25 |
| Ganymede | Need the box up ASAP, even if I lose a bit of data. | 15:25 |
| === cool is now known as iamraju | ||
| guy_ | Fyodorovna sorry it's been so long since i put debian on, i'm foggy on the details of that install. probably that bootloader is on the mbr and ubuntu is on the partition? | 15:25 |
| kapz | MestreLion: I have found a tutorial on web to create a simple invoice..what I want now is to create a sheet for Item inventory and integrate it in that invoice template... | 15:25 |
| Fyodorovna | guy_, the last install is generally the controlling boot unless it did not load the mbr. Have you run a uopdate-grub in debian, if it is running grub3 you need to run it there. | 15:25 |
| Fyodorovna | grub 2* | 15:26 |
| MestreLion | bazhang: true... but if they come, we will politely say that there is #zorin for that... although a guy like ackbahr will be able to tell which Ubuntu help will fit a similar distro | 15:26 |
| konam | tbrown2012 i didn't quite understand your point, but i start firefox just fine. but if i minimize it and, let's say, a page reloads periodically or something then firefox will maximize itself. this didn't happen before. | 15:26 |
| guy_ | Fyodorovna ah ok, i'll just boot into debian again for that. i ran it on ubuntu, but should've thought of that. will try it now. many thanks! | 15:26 |

| dr3mro | Hello , May I suggest something for canonical ... if canonical wan't to dominate the desktop it should focus on enterprise sector , and office suite so it move it self from personal computing to work area .. so if a company wnats to hire people for a job they would use ubuntu with libreoffice ate work so they should have them at home .. canonical must invest on libreoffice and revamp the UI to compete with MS office .. | 15:28 |
| kapz | thanks MestreLion | 15:28 |
| bazhang | !brainstorm | dr3mro | 15:29 |

| MonkeyDust | dr3mro that's offtopic here -- Shuttleworth already started focussing on business users | 15:29 |
| MestreLion | dr3mro: and your support question is... ? | 15:29 |
| tbrown2012 | Konam Sorry about that try to reinstalling it see if that help it deed for me | 15:29 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: Seems like it. Found a pretty drop-of-water-with-concetric-circles picture for what's nearly a "splash" screen, she won't get it and I'll like it.... | 15:29 |
| hafos | On a pre-existing raid0 array with windows7 installed, how can I create a dualboot for ubuntu ? | 15:30 |
| titi | HELLOW | 15:30 |
| hafos | Most guides focus on creating the raid, but it already exists... | 15:30 |
| ackbahr | MestreLion: Let's see it, and goodbye! Gotta look at the sky from time to time.... :) Thanks for all! | 15:31 |
| gfc | PRIVMSG | 15:31 |
| gfc | on | 15:32 |
| MestreLion | dr3mro: it is not the role of a distro to revamp an office suite's UI | 15:33 |
| hafos | When I boot from my ubuntu usb drive which gives me the option to boot into livecd or install ubuntu, if I choose install it just hangs and I assume it's because it can't handle my raid0 disk... | 15:33 |
| MestreLion | hafos: IIRC for raid setups you need the alternate installer | 15:33 |
| dr3mro | MestreLion, I know but ubuntu is not just a distro !! it's becoming a standard OS by it self .. | 15:34 |
| hafos | alt installer eyhhhh... let's have a look what I can find | 15:34 |
| MonkeyDust | dr3mro take that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, please | 15:34 |
| MestreLion | dr3mro: every distro is an OS by itself | 15:34 |
| dr3mro | MonkeyDust, OK | 15:34 |
| gfc | it | 15:35 |
| MestreLion | hafos: the text-based installed handles custom scenarios like raid, encrifted hdd, etc | 15:35 |
| MestreLion | geez, my typying is horrible | 15:35 |
| hafos | great, found the iso... could you help me out with the raid drivers, or point me in the right direction ? | 15:35 |
| gfc | PRIVMSG | 15:35 |
| hafos | as far as I know it's a hardware raid, or hybrid anyway, on my MSI motherboard | 15:36 |
| gfc | any1 | 15:36 |
| MestreLion | hafos: they may be already included in the ISO... just try it out... the alternate installed is meant for corner case scenarios and offers a lot of customization | 15:36 |
| hafos | ok i'll give it a shot first, thanks | 15:36 |
| bazhang | gfc, ask a complete question, all on ONE line | 15:37 |
| gfc | wot | 15:37 |
| bazhang | gfc, this is ubuntu support. stop typing single words | 15:37 |
| MestreLion | gfc: and use proper English if you want any meaningful support | 15:37 |
| gfc | fuck | 15:38 |
| MestreLion | that may not be considered "proper" | 15:38 |

| hafos | oh I see, it's the beta for 12.04 LTS... I thought LTS meant it being out of beta :-) my bad | 15:40 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobjones, what is the other OS? | 15:40 |
| MestreLion | hafos: 12.04 WILLbe an LTS, when it is released ;) | 15:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Bobjones use gparted, on a live cd, to delete the ubuntu partition | 15:41 |
| Bobjones | Fyodorovna Windows xp | 15:41 |
| MestreLion | it will be in a month or so, IIRC | 15:41 |
| hafos | alright cool, thanks | 15:41 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobjones, reload the windows bootloader before you remove ubuntu, do you have a XP disc? | 15:41 |
| popsch | how can I see from which ppa I installed a particular package, please? | 15:42 |
| Bobjones | MonkeyDust thanks | 15:42 |
| MestreLion | hafos: but you can install it now... it's way past beta already... RC1 i guess | 15:42 |

| Fyodorovna | Bobjones, if grub is the bootloader as of now XP will not boot without the windows bootloader put in the mbr. | 15:43 |
| Bobjones | @Fyodorovna No. I do not and don't want to change xp settings either. | 15:43 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobjones, read my last message. | 15:44 |
| jiffe2 | is there a way to create a taskbar in ubuntu 11.10 that is workspace aware? | 15:44 |
| rbrooks_ | like windows? | 15:45 |
| jiffe2 | the taskbar like windows, but the taskbar only showing what programs are open in that workspace | 15:45 |
| MestreLion | Fyodorovna: but windows XP does not install/requires bootloadrs in MBR | 15:45 |
| === rbrooks_ is now known as rbrooks | ||
| Fyodorovna | MestreLion, without grub it does if iot is the sole boot. | 15:46 |
| MonkeyDust | jiffe2 it's what I have in Ubuntu classic | 15:46 |
| Fyodorovna | it* | 15:46 |
| rbrooks | hmmm | 15:46 |
| Kernel_Panic | Bobjones, Boot from a windows XP restore CD and press the "r" key in setup to get to console. Then use the command "FIXMBR" | 15:46 |
| popsch | bastidrazor, thanks! | 15:46 |
| Fyodorovna | MestreLion, XP always installs a bootloader in the mbr. | 15:46 |
| MestreLion | Fyodorovna: true, but any boot loader that chainload XP partition is enough | 15:46 |
| bastidrazor | popsch: you're welcome. | 15:46 |
| Bobjones | Fyodorovna Can I install the mbr by itself | 15:46 |
| Fyodorovna | MestreLion, read the channel bro 2 OS XP and ubuntu with ubuntu removed. | 15:47 |
| MestreLion | Fyodorovna: oh... I understand now... he has grub on mbr and wiped his ubuntu partition? | 15:48 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobjones, you need a XP disc to load the mbr, the mbr is the first 512MB of the hard drive, it is a place. | 15:48 |
| MestreLion | 512 bytes actually :P | 15:49 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobjones, you could install lilo to the mbr from a ubuntu disc and that would boot XP direct, do you have a ubuntu disc? | 15:49 |
| === WoOh_ is now known as WoOh | ||
| MestreLion | yes, Fyodorovna, you're right... his only solution is to use something like fdisk /mbr using a XP boot CD | 15:49 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobjones|, or from the ubuntu install if it is still there. | 15:50 |
| Bobjones| | Kernel_panic its my work pc and No restore CD | 15:50 |
| haz3lnut | Bobjones: install ms-sys --- see here: http://penguininside.blogspot.com/2009/06/fixing-windows-mbr-from-linux.html | 15:50 |
| Fyodorovna | haz3lnut, ms-sys is old and rarely works lilo always does. | 15:51 |
| MestreLion | Fyodorovna: doesn't XP boot CD allows you to open a recovery terminal where he can execute fdisk /mbr ? | 15:51 |
| haz3lnut | Fyodorovna: worked for me a few months ago | 15:52 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobjones|, do you still have ubuntu installed? | 15:52 |
| Bobjones| | Off to learn about lilo | 15:52 |
| MestreLion | lol | 15:52 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobjones|, I can give you the commands fronm the ubuntu install right now if needed and you will be set. | 15:53 |
| GaryDev | *sigh.. using LTS 10, and webmin... said there were package updates for apache and a few other things, so I installed them. Now the website wants to "send" me the files rather than open them in the browser... How can I revert back to the files I had before? Or.. fix this problem.. | 15:53 |
| Fyodorovna | haz3lnut, you were lucky I never see it work for people on any channel, it is a old fix method. | 15:53 |
| Bobjones| | Fyodorovna. Please do. | 15:54 |
| MestreLion | GaryDev: what's wrong with update manager? | 15:54 |
| Indira | I am installing ubuntu on my HP Computer | 15:54 |
| Indira | I have manged to get the demo working by using the "nomodeset" option on the cd | 15:54 |
| Indira | The demo works like a charm, except that I won't let me install | 15:54 |
| Indira | When I try to install it says that I don't have enough memory nor do I have internet acces | 15:54 |
| Indira | On windows, I have over 100 GB of free memory on my drivers and I have wired Internet acces | 15:54 |
| FloodBot1 | Indira: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:54 |
| Indira | How do I get ubuntu demo (Wubi) to recognize these things? | 15:54 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion I am not sure... webmin showed the process, seemed like everything installed... I have the dpkg log open now.. | 15:55 |
| MestreLion | wow, 100GB of free memory... I envy that guy :P | 15:55 |
| oCean | GaryDev: sorry, but configurations with webmin are not supported | 15:55 |
| ljt | hi everyone, I'm trying to boot from an ubuntu iso file located on a usb key using grub4dos and casper/loopback entry, which usually works perfectly. The problem is that ubuntu 12.04 beta 1 alternate doesn't have a casper directory, any reason or workaround for that? | 15:55 |
| oCean | !webmin | 15:55 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 15:55 |
| GaryDev | oh geezus | 15:56 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobjones|, this is assuming you can get to synaptic or software sources to make sure the universe repo is open it probably is already on a install. http://paste.ubuntu.com/889321/ | 15:56 |
| GaryDev | ok... so... how can I get the system back to the way it was before? | 15:56 |
| MonkeyDust | Indira wubi is only a pseudo installation inside windows, it is adviced to install ubuntu with a live cd or pendrive | 15:56 |
| pokoko222 | how do I open magnet links in Ubuntu? | 15:56 |
| MestreLion | ljt: for 12.04 issues, try #ubuntu+1 | 15:57 |
| MestreLion | pokoko222: clicking on them. should automatically open Transmition | 15:57 |
| ljt | MestreLion: many thanks, will do | 15:57 |
| Indira | MonkeyDust,im using the CD | 15:58 |
| pokoko222 | MestreLion nothing happens when I click on them | 15:58 |
| staff_nowa | hello, i have question. In ubuntu i can connect to my server and scan files locally with shared docs? | 15:58 |
| staff_nowa | or it's not imposible | 15:58 |
| MestreLion | pokoko222: is Transmission installed? | 15:58 |
| Fyodorovna | Bobjones|, sda is the mbr so wew are looking to get lilo in the sda if that is what the disc reads as with the sudo fdisk -l command | 15:58 |
| Fyodorovna | we* | 15:58 |
| pokoko222 | MestreLion yes | 15:59 |
| MestreLion | Indira: are you booting from that CD, or just running it from inside windows? | 15:59 |
| MonkeyDust | Indira do you have 100GB free space, you say? | 15:59 |
| hex__ | hello, how to unblock "wall" command , if i know root password ? | 16:00 |
| Indira | yep, over 100 GB, am booting from CD | 16:01 |
| GaryDev | So if webmin isn't supported anymore, how can I get the system back to before the update was put in? Kinda stuck here | 16:01 |
| ClusterFCK | hey all, just upgraded from lucid to natty and now i cant access my encrypted disks. i get a mount: unknown filesystem type 'crypto_LUKS' error, tried a couple things, but about to give up. (and trow away 2 TB of all my data... Oo) | 16:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Indira then use the ubuntu installer, it's very easy | 16:01 |
| MestreLion | pokoko222: in Firefox, go to Preferences > Applications, and see what is set for magnet | 16:01 |
| haz3lnut | when did webmin become unsupported? I've been using it for years. | 16:02 |
| MestreLion | GaryDev: have you tried... update manager? | 16:02 |
| auronandace | !webmin | haz3lnut | 16:02 |
| ubottu | haz3lnut: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 16:02 |
| haz3lnut | yeah, I read that. Question still stands. | 16:02 |
| Indira | MonkeyDust, I tried but it won't recognize my memory | 16:03 |
| haz3lnut | nothing about it on webmin website. | 16:03 |

| GirlyGirl | holly_molly: What protection? | 16:04 |
| holly_molly | for serfing web | 16:05 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion: Yes.. remote server, there is no GUI type front end to it | 16:05 |
| MestreLion | GaryDev: so forget about update manager | 16:05 |
| MestreLion | GaryDev: try sudo apt-get update or sudo aptitude | 16:06 |
| GirlyGirl | holly_molly: Just don't bother, its secure by default | 16:06 |
| MestreLion | aptitude is really good in handling broken package issues | 16:06 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion: I have the package log file open.. oh.. ok, will try apt-get update | 16:06 |
| MestreLion | "serfing" web? | 16:06 |
| holly_molly | example I need to know what best for it because forums fall of info | 16:06 |
| holly_molly | what best proxy, or VPN | 16:07 |
| MestreLion | best proxy for what? | 16:07 |
| MonkeyDust | holly_molly "best" depends on your needs, skills etc | 16:07 |
| holly_molly | different things like anonymous | 16:08 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion: ok, it did a lot of "hits", said it fetched 137kb.. reading packages.. "Done"... didn't do anything else | 16:08 |
| MestreLion | that's definately not an ubuntu issue | 16:08 |
| holly_molly | I see, my ISP scan all of my traffic and I worry about my google search etc | 16:08 |
| MonkeyDust | holly_molly the only way to be 100% safe and secure, is by not going on the web | 16:09 |
| MestreLion | holly_molly: use https then | 16:09 |
| holly_molly | I use ubuntu | 16:09 |
| holly_molly | 2 MestreLion I use Ubuntu and what source you can link me | 16:09 |
| MestreLion | so do I... but anynymous web browsing is not an Ubuntu issue | 16:09 |
| zykotick9 | holly_molly: your priorities are strange. Your worried about your ISP knowing your Google searches? Google is the one that actually tracks both you and your searches? | 16:10 |
| holly_molly | what issue?( | 16:10 |

| almoxarife | holly_molly: you didn't state the purpose of the vpn/prxy | 16:15 |
| Aciid | also is one interface enough, with iptables, or do I need to use two | 16:15 |

| ClusterFCK | im going to cry and dump 2 tb of data because i cant access my drive after a 'perfect update' (sound also isnt working). thnx for the support :/ Oo | 16:18 |
| mneptok | GaryDev: the problem you have with apache sending files rather than displaying them is probably an issue with MIME type association in apache. start looking at that. | 16:18 |
| MestreLion | this holly_molly guy is hilarious... he says it is a crime to "search info" about VPN, but he complains about tor saying it is "too slow"... what are his priorities after all? | 16:18 |
| mirak | iso-scan fails on searching lvm | 16:18 |
| MestreLion | mirak: iso-scan works only for FAT, IIRC | 16:19 |
| mirak | MestreLion, i made it work on ext4 i think | 16:19 |
| MestreLion | and maybe ext2/3/4 and ntfs.. but definately not lvm | 16:19 |
| GaryDev | mneptok: I have no clue on how to do that... I am not a person used to command prompts and linux. | 16:19 |
| mneptok | GaryDev: that's why i said "start looking into that" | 16:20 |
| mneptok | GaryDev: i will be AFK in ~5m. Google will not. | 16:20 |
| mirak | that's too bad, because grub2 does manage to run the kernel and initrd | 16:20 |
| MestreLion | GaryDev: you are accessing an Ubuntu server with putty, with no GUI. You *should* be used to command prompts | 16:20 |
| mirak | MestreLion, i don't know why this script doesn't benefit from the abstraction used by grub | 16:20 |
| mirak | or provided by the kernel | 16:20 |
| mneptok | mirak: the initrd may not have all the LVM stuff loaded. | 16:21 |
| mirak | mneptok, mmm | 16:21 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion: I have SOME prompt experience.. but I've left most things to webmin... Our server seldom needs anything done.. I use WinSCP for shuffling files, etc etc | 16:21 |
| MestreLion | mirak: because iso-scan requires the ISO to be compatible.. and the initrd inside Ubuntu's ISOs does not have LVM stuff inside | 16:21 |
| MestreLion | GaryDev: what do you need webmin for? installing packages? | 16:23 |
| holly_molly | MestreLion yep) what channel do I need please help me | 16:23 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion: mostly for updates, lazy database access, looking at system log files | 16:23 |

| MestreLion | mirak: yes, alternate cd have the LVM support, but I'm not sure if its compatible with iso-scan... you may have to actually burn it to a CD or USB | 16:27 |

| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 16:30 |
| MestreLion | GaryDev: sounds like a config issue in Apache... maybe the system is OK, but you've messed up with its config files in /etc | 16:30 |

| MestreLion | GaryDev: if you want, you can uninstall Apache, provided you also --purge it's config files... but that is overkill, you would need to reconfigure it from scretch | 16:32 |

| GaryDev | MestreLion: I have no problem with that.. the only changes we made were to put the web root at var/www/html ... and drop everything but PHP files for running | 16:33 |
| MestreLion | GaryDev: there are 2 approaches: 1) apt-get remove --purge apache 2 && apt-get install apache2 , and you will have a brand new, fresh apache install. OR, try #apache and paste them your apache config files to see if there is only a minor issue | 16:33 |
| anonymous_ | . | 16:34 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion: exactly where are the config files... I can go look at them, see whats changed for time/date stamps, and then open the most recent files for editing to see if I can spot anything major | 16:35 |
| MestreLion | GaryDev: then try apt-get purge apache2 && apt-get install apache2 | 16:35 |

| MestreLion | and then i assure you it will nuke current apache, including config files, download a new package from web, and reinstall it | 16:54 |
| GaryDev | dj: will try yours first | 16:55 |
| mirak | Fyodorovna, i more interested in launching iso with grub2 | 16:55 |

| cheater | MestreLion: how do i stop it? | 16:56 |
| MestreLion | cheater: disabling wireless ? | 16:56 |

| GaryDev | and the install said it was unpacking (must be the local file) and then said it had set it up | 16:57 |
| Fyodorovna | mirak, not sure about a lvm install not being read by the usb if that is the problem.. | 16:57 |
| MestreLion | cheater: may I ask you why you want to kill that? | 16:58 |

| MestreLion | GaryDev: you were supposed to run apt-get clean *before* you install apache | 17:00 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion: nods.. working on it.. | 17:01 |
| MestreLion | so you force ubuntu to actually download the package from the web instead of using the local cached file | 17:01 |
| MestreLion | cheater: I don't remember having to stop wpa_suplicant to use airodump... usually killing nm_applet or disabling wireless is enough | 17:02 |

| CharminTheMoose | Hey all, I've reduced a 11.04 system to just run login --, init and ash in userspace, but running /usr/bin/free -m reports 11MB used. Are login, init and busybox sh really consuming 11MB? | 17:06 |

| Fyodorovna | mirak, no problem. :) | 17:06 |
| MestreLion | sure nancy-- , ask your question | 17:06 |
| nancy-- | MestreLion, why iam getting these errors | 17:07 |
| mirak | Fyodorovna, the best would be that desktop image implements lvm modules and raid | 17:07 |
| zykotick9 | !here | nancy-- | 17:07 |
| ubottu | nancy--: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 17:07 |

| llutz | nancy--: just the normal scripts trying to find some vulnerabilities on servers (phpmyadmin etc.) | 17:07 |
| MestreLion | nancy--: because you probably deleted all your files in /var/www | 17:07 |
| NPPP | bye | 17:08 |
| dj | lol nancy-- always protect those files, with chmod | 17:08 |
| Iluvalar | Hi, little question for you guys : I did an update and now I lost my mouse. Any idea what i could try for that ^ | 17:08 |
| Spaniard | hi everybody! | 17:08 |
| llutz | nancy--:just script-kids/bots probing your server. make sure to configure it right, then you can ignore it | 17:08 |
| dj | Iluvalar, lost your mouse? | 17:08 |
| dj | explain that | 17:08 |
| Iluvalar | the wired mouse doesnt answer anymore | 17:08 |
| infinity0 | can someone test something for me on firefox please? | 17:08 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion: I went in and looked (yes, using webmin, sorry)... at the default instance files for var/www/html.. directory indexing.. and it was WAY different than before.. nothing was showing in the index, so I added in "php", saved it.. and now the website is looking like an ftp server with the files and folders showing, rather than webpage loding them.. so I think I am closer | 17:09 |
| Fyodorovna | Iluvalar, happened to me in 12.04 a reboot fixed it. | 17:09 |
| mr_daemon | Hello -- is anyone getting 404s while updating package lists from the repositories? | 17:09 |
| Iluvalar | dj fortunately i had a usb wireless mouse and it work | 17:09 |
| nancy-- | MestreLion, i think its in /etc/apache2 | 17:09 |
| zykotick9 | Iluvalar: do you have a choice of kernels at boot? (hold SHIFT after BIOS, if you don't get a menu) If so, do any of the old kernels work? | 17:09 |
| === Guest1259 is now known as vadsomhelst | ||
| neo1691_ | does etc\environment supposed to contain any locale information?? Mine does not contain anything!! Maybe that could have caused the problem. I am unable to view any text in any browsers!! Please Help | 17:09 |
| Fyodorovna | mr_daemon, change the mirror. | 17:09 |
| Iluvalar | zykotick9: i didnt tryed that... | 17:09 |
| nancy-- | MestreLion, llutz dj iam using ubuntu and apache2 | 17:10 |
| dj | Iluvalar, remove it from the current port, and try it another port | 17:10 |
| xangua | mr_daemon: hello, will you share the actual error message or wait for someone to gess¿ ;) | 17:10 |
| llutz | nancy--: whatever you use, if you have a webserver online, you'll be probed this way. no way to prevent this | 17:10 |
| Iluvalar | dj: there is only one hole for that mouse... | 17:10 |
| dj | remove it and plug it back in Iluvalar | 17:10 |
| nancy-- | llutz, my server is not online | 17:10 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: webupd8 hacks are not supported here... you should avoid running scripts from websites if you don't understand exactly what they do | 17:11 |
| mr_daemon | xangua: W: Failed to fetch http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/ubuntu/dists/oneiric-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 128.61.111.11 80] | 17:11 |
| nancy-- | its not starting | 17:11 |
| zykotick9 | dj: if this is a PS/2 mouse - removing it is a BAD idea | 17:11 |
| mr_daemon | I have tried other mirrors | 17:11 |
| llutz | nancy--: it is, else you wouldn't get those logs | 17:11 |
| mr_daemon | every single one I select 404s on most things | 17:11 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion: I think I will take a break, grab a coffee... exit irc for a bit. Appreciate the help. I suspect the config files are shot, will hit the #apache channel in a bit | 17:11 |
| nancy-- | hm.. | 17:11 |
| dj | zykotick9, is a usb mouse, nothing bad... | 17:11 |
| xangua | mr_daemon: sounds like fyodorovna suggestion is accurate ;) | 17:11 |
| xangua | ooh he left | 17:11 |
| llutz | nancy--: and, tbh, if you don't even know if your services are running or not: you shouldn't run a webserver at all | 17:12 |
| nancy-- | llutz, i mean the apache is not runing | 17:12 |
| nancy-- | llutz, i know. my english is not native | 17:12 |
| MestreLion | nancy--: carefully read everything they told you... llutz already nailed it.. those are not errors, just someone trying to acess files you don't have... | 17:12 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion, I never knew that! I am a complete n00b in this area and thought that one script would do everything for me. Now i realise how stupid i have been as i had lost an opportunity to learn | 17:12 |
| llutz | nancy--: you want to read basic documentation about apache, apache-logs etc. | 17:13 |
| MestreLion | GaryDev: #apache is your best bet in fixing apache issues :) | 17:13 |
| nancy-- | MestreLion, yes. so what should i do to resolve the error. i was just configuring bind and this error happened | 17:13 |
| nancy-- | llutz, ^\ | 17:13 |
| llutz | nancy--: those ARE NO configuration errors. those are access errors logged by your server | 17:13 |
| Iluvalar | dj sorry did you said something ^ | 17:14 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion, can etc\environment file help me in any way!! It does not contain any locale data. If that is causing the problem? | 17:14 |
| Iluvalar | zykotick9: tried with another header and dont seem to help | 17:15 |
| === macele_ is now known as macele | ||
| MestreLion | neo1691_: webupd8 have wonderful tips and tricks... but also many things i strongly disagree... you have to read and understand case-by-case, and never blindly run "all in one" scripts | 17:15 |
| braza | nmm | 17:15 |
| zykotick9 | Iluvalar: to bad. sorry i don't have any other suggestions. good luck! | 17:15 |
| nancy-- | llutz, so what should i do | 17:16 |
| llutz | nancy--: you want to read basic documentation about apache, apache-logs etc. | 17:16 |
| nancy-- | llutz, i should give permissions. chmod? | 17:16 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: I want to fix it somehow!!! But webup8 and ubuntuforums says that the error has nothing to do with the script!! Also i have updated some packages and while updated the laptop crashed due to overheating!! So i had to update second time! | 17:17 |
| MestreLion | wow, what a mess | 17:17 |
| llutz | nancy--: NO, pls ask in a channel with your native channes, if you don't understand what we wrote | 17:17 |
| neo1691_ | My laptop has heating problems!! :-( | 17:17 |
| llutz | native language* | 17:17 |
| infinity0 | https://mango.gnome.org/ try to log into that with a fake user/pass then click "yes" when prompted to store the password, then reload the page and see if it autocompletes the password | 17:18 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: is there any problem besides firefox text? | 17:18 |
| GaryDev | MestreLion: Nods.. again, thanks kindly for your time and efforts.. | 17:18 |
| MestreLion | you're welcome GaryDev :) | 17:19 |
| GaryDev | I have coffee.. break time.. cya folks | 17:19 |
| neo1691_ | no problem at all!! Firefox chrome and chromium does not show texts and the pages are badly formatted.. | 17:19 |
| neo1691_ | GaryDev: Cya!! | 17:19 |
| nancy-- | ok | 17:19 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: you have the 3 of them in Ubuntu? | 17:19 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: yes i downloaded them to test.. | 17:19 |
| neo1691_ | i cannot even use imagebin to post pics | 17:20 |
| MestreLion | I wonder how you downloaded Chrome | 17:20 |
| medeman | hi | 17:20 |
| cheater | MestreLion: i have disabled network manager, wpa_supplicant is still there | 17:20 |
| cheater | its ppid is 1 so i don't know what is restarting it | 17:20 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: using the script | 17:20 |
| nancy-- | http://pastebin.com/EfFLn92z any help with permission for apache ? | 17:20 |
| medeman | I installed Ubuntu, it had the 173 NVidia graphics drivers, but the restricted drivers panel said that the current version is recommended, so I installed those. Now I can't click on anything after logging in, however I can still move my mouse. | 17:21 |
| llutz | nancy--: again: That is NOT a problem with your apache! | 17:21 |
| MestreLion | cheater: pid=1 is init... | 17:21 |
| nancy-- | llutz, ya. i know. but its permissions problem | 17:21 |
| cheater | MestreLion: i realize. it is probably an rc script (a "service") but i don't know which. | 17:21 |
| llutz | nancy--: ITS NOT | 17:21 |
| nancy-- | llutz, then ? | 17:21 |
| llutz | nancy--: what is your native language | 17:21 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: show me the code... install pastebinit and pastebin the code you used | 17:21 |
| nancy-- | llutz, hindi | 17:22 |
| MestreLion | it was after the script that firefox acted strange, correct? | 17:22 |
| llutz | nancy--: those are scripts from internet probing your server. nothing to worry about | 17:22 |
| MestreLion | cheater: network-manager | 17:22 |
| nancy-- | llutz, what is the problem? | 17:22 |
| nancy-- | \ | 17:22 |
| llutz | nancy--: i'm out | 17:23 |
| MestreLion | cheater: or networking | 17:23 |
| cheater | MestreLion: as i said, both are stopped | 17:23 |
| medeman | anyone? | 17:23 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: the script installed chrome for me!! Its there in that link i gave http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/what-to-do-after-fresh-ubuntu-install.html nothing else | 17:23 |
| nick134013 | how can i turn ppt to pdf from the terminal? | 17:23 |
| neo1691_ | nancy--, are you indian? | 17:23 |
| llutz | nancy--: ask in #ubuntu-in | 17:23 |
| MestreLion | nancy--: there is not problem at all | 17:23 |
| nancy-- | llutz, but apache is not starting | 17:23 |
| llutz | nancy--: IT runs | 17:24 |
| llutz | nancy--: " sudo lsof -i :80" | 17:24 |
| MestreLion | nancy--: as llutz said 4 times already, these errors are just someone trying to probe files that do not exist | 17:24 |
| nancy-- | neo1691_, yes | 17:24 |
| neo1691_ | nancy--, llutz i am also an indian!! i can translate if you want me to | 17:24 |
| nancy-- | MestreLion, llutz # service apache2 start | 17:24 |
| nancy-- | * Starting web server apache2 Action 'start' failed. | 17:24 |
| nancy-- | The Apache error log may have more information. | 17:24 |
| llutz | nancy--: " sudo lsof -i :80" | 17:24 |
| nancy-- | sudo lsof -i :80 | 17:25 |
| nancy-- | # | 17:25 |
| nancy-- | thats it | 17:25 |
| MestreLion | omg, neo1691_ .. this is the most invasive script ever | 17:25 |
| llutz | nancy--: at least it has run ar "Sun Mar 18 14:43:02 2012" | 17:26 |
| llutz | at | 17:26 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: is it harmful?? | 17:26 |
| oCean | neo1691_: please don't run webupd8 script if you do not exactly know what they are doing | 17:26 |
| oCean | maybe even better, never run them | 17:26 |
| llutz | nancy--: ask in #ubuntu-in for more help | 17:26 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: I'm not sure... but... man, look at the TON of changes it does | 17:27 |
| neo1691_ | oCean: i am in a bad mess!!Unable to browse anything!! MestreLion: The last comments are mine in that link you can see some images i have posted there | 17:27 |
| medeman | I installed Ubuntu 11.10 64-Bit. It came with the NVidia drivers version 173. In the restricted drivers control panel, it recommended me to install the current NVidia drivers, which I did. However, now I can't click on anything (but still move my mouse) after logging in. | 17:27 |
| nancy-- | llutz, ill understand english. you can go on | 17:27 |
| ikonia | medeman: when you say the current nvidia drivers where did you get them ? | 17:28 |
| llutz | nancy--: appearantly not my english | 17:28 |
| sasquatchzorin | Hi, I have setup a laptop with ubuntu server and would like to ssh into. How do I find out the exact IP from command line? I can see the router IP, but the entire IP? | 17:28 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: it revamps a LOT in your system... adding new repos, ppas, installing a bunch of software, making very invasive tweaks and fixing bugs that you don't even know IF they were already fixed... | 17:28 |
| ikonia | sasquatchzorin: ip addr | 17:28 |
| medeman | ikonia: from the restricted drivers panel from ubuntu (i clicked on activate and it did the rest) | 17:28 |
| Iluvalar | i'll ask a last time just in case : my ps/2 mouse stopped to answer after an update of my system | 17:29 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: Everything seems to be fine excepts the browsers | 17:29 |
| ikonia | medeman: sounds good, so what's the issue ? | 17:29 |
| Iluvalar | is there something i could look for that ? | 17:29 |
| nancy-- | llutz, the actual files are missing. /var/www# ls | 17:29 |
| nancy-- | index.html op | 17:29 |
| medeman | ikonia: it doesn't register any mouse-clicks now | 17:29 |
| nancy-- | MestreLion, ^ | 17:29 |
| ikonia | medeman: register any mouse clicks ? do you mean the mouse buttons aren't working ? | 17:29 |
| medeman | ikonia: yea | 17:29 |
| oCean | nancy--: you don't need to have files in /var/www for the webserver to start | 17:29 |
| ikonia | medeman: that sounds exceptionally unusual | 17:30 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: i suspect this: "Downloads, installs and configure sharp fonts (starting with version 0.4.5: also installs sharp fonts for Firefox)" | 17:30 |
| nancy-- | oCean, then why iam geting this error | 17:30 |
| sasquatchzorin | ikonia: thanks, it seems to only give the 192.168.1.2/24 address, I'm looking for the one I can access from outside this network? | 17:30 |
| oCean | nancy--: will you STOP asking about this issue in 2 channels? | 17:30 |
| nancy-- | oCean, why apache is not starting | 17:30 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: i thought the same!! tried reverting it using the same script!! Still no success | 17:30 |
| oCean | nancy--: answer me | 17:30 |
| medeman | ikonia: yea, i can still move the mouse but it doesnt register the mouse clicks...i had the same issue with linux mint + current nvidia drivers | 17:30 |
| ikonia | sasquatchzorin: thats controlled by your ISP, you can use websites such as whatsmyip.com to see that | 17:30 |
| sasquatchzorin | ikonia: anyway from the command line, using server verision? | 17:31 |
| ikonia | medeman: sounds like it's worth logging a bug to nvidia if it's also happening in mint | 17:31 |
| nancy-- | i was geting support from both. oCean thats why i was chating | 17:31 |
| oCean | nancy--: I told you several times we don't allow crossposting. | 17:31 |
| oCean | nancy--: stop it now | 17:31 |
| medeman | ikonia: yea, where do i do that? and do you know how i can fix the issue? (revert to version 173 somehow?) | 17:31 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: have you tried to take a look at Firefox's font settings? Also, take a look at Menu > Preferences > Appearance and see if everything is ok | 17:32 |
| ikonia | medeman: nvidia.com has a bug tracking system and forum ( you can log it to the ubuntu system - but what can you really expect ubuntu to do in reality) | 17:32 |
| medeman | ikonia: hmm okay | 17:33 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: yes did all possible changes i can in both system fonts and firefox fonys | 17:33 |
| neo1691_ | *fonts | 17:33 |
| bluefrog | sasquatchzorin, you will not be able to ssh into your home public address if the command originates from your home | 17:33 |
| ikonia | medeman: the software is closed source so projects like mint/ubuntu can't really "change" or fix anything | 17:33 |
| medeman | ikonia: yea i know...do you know how i can revert to version 173? | 17:34 |
| sasquatchzorin | bluefrog: I want to ssh into the server outside my network, like from work. | 17:34 |
| ikonia | medeman: does the hardware drives tool not offer multiple versions ? | 17:34 |
| bluefrog | sasquatchzorin, there ok | 17:34 |
| ikonia | sasquatchzorin: what's the issue, | 17:34 |
| ikonia | sasquatchzorin: I've told you where to get your IP | 17:34 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: take a look here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntustart | 17:34 |
| bluefrog | sasquatchzorin, and your system admin must have translated the ssh port to your machine at work | 17:35 |
| leo__ | #join ubuntu-it | 17:35 |
| medeman | ikonia: it does offer 96, 173 and current i think, but how do i use it when i cant click on anything..? | 17:35 |
| ikonia | medeman: ahhhh, didn't see that issue | 17:35 |
| sasquatchzorin | ikonia: Ok thanks, I'm going to have to do some more digging | 17:35 |
| sasquatchzorin | bluefrog: thanks im going to look into more stuff | 17:35 |
| ikonia | medeman: the way I would manage that is boot into recovery mode and remove the "current" driver package | 17:35 |
| zykotick9 | medeman: one option to try might be, log into console (ctrl+alt+f1) use apt-get to remove nvidia-current then reboot | 17:36 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: i will have to switch to windows to do that!! :-( | 17:36 |
| Osmodivs | Hello ppl | 17:37 |
| neo1691_ | anyhting that i can do by staying logged in to ubuntu | 17:37 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: the most "recent" version of this script is from 2010-07-08... that is almost 2 years old... Lucid received a TON of updates since then... so maybe many "bugfixes" were not needed anymore... | 17:37 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: or, worse, they would not work as intended with an updated Lucid (10.04.3 by now, I guess) | 17:37 |
| zykotick9 | neo1691_: 3rd party install scripts are often a bad idea... | 17:38 |
| Osmodivs | Is there a Linux program to download uTorrent files? Ubuntu and it's Transmission can't open those files | 17:38 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: Does that means i need to reinstall the os all over again? | 17:38 |
| neo1691_ | zykotick9: I came to know that after running the script | 17:39 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: The link that you gave me is the same one that i used | 17:39 |
| MestreLion | Osmodivs: there is no such thing as "uTorrent files"... there is .torrent files, and TRansmission opens them with no problem... but you may try Deluge if you another Torrent app | 17:39 |
| hino | hi | 17:40 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: you gave me the link from webup8 website... I gave you their launchpad project link | 17:40 |
| belphegoor | hello all,Im a newbie on linux,and i want an image viewer for ubuntu | 17:40 |
| Osmodivs | MestreLion: Well, I do not know much about files, but, How can you open or download this file? http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/5423741/BjA_A_rk_Discography_-_All_8_Studio_Albums_in_DTS_5.1_on_1_DVD | 17:40 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: should i try installing the script again? | 17:41 |
| vinit | hi | 17:41 |
| Osmodivs | MestreLion: I think is called Magnetic Link | 17:41 |
| belphegoor | vinit hi | 17:41 |
| neo1691_ | belphegoor: F-Spot and Gimp | 17:41 |
| MestreLion | Osmodivs: I think Transmission can handle magnet links... if not, Deluge surely can | 17:41 |
| belphegoor | thanks neo,but where can i download them neo? | 17:42 |
| MestreLion | belphegoor: Ubuntu already comes with image viewer | 17:42 |
| MestreLion | belphegoor: just like any other software: using Software Center | 17:42 |
| neo1691_ | belphegoor: It should be already there if you are using ubuntu | 17:42 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: how old is your install? | 17:42 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: One day! | 17:43 |
| MestreLion | one day? oh man, reinstall then | 17:43 |
| belphegoor | but neo,im using backtrack 5, why i left windows :'( | 17:43 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: install takes like 20 minutes... you already wasted more than an hour in this issue | 17:44 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion:etc/environment file does not contain any locale entry!! The link that i gave you contains some links given by a user in the top most comments!! It says that its related to locale | 17:44 |
| medeman | zykotick9: thank you, that worked | 17:44 |
| medeman | ikonia: thanks for your help | 17:44 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: What should i install?? the script from launchpad? | 17:44 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: if you really want to try to fix a 1-day system instead of simply re-installing from scratch? | 17:45 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: how to do that? | 17:45 |
| MestreLion | the same way you installed Lucid yesterday... boot from your CD :P | 17:45 |
| neo1691_ | I dont want a reinstall as i am dual booting with windows 7 with grub as the bootloader | 17:46 |

| edude03 | Sweet there is a ubuntu channel :) | 17:48 |
| edude03 | Hello everyone | 17:48 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: if you really want to know about your current locale, try this is a terminal: locale | 17:48 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: No i installed the script yesterday and i have installed linux like 3 days ago!! Not much though!! Still its the 4th time i have tried installing ubuntu successfully!! everything was fine until this happened | 17:49 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: /etc/enviroment is just one of files used to determine your current locale | 17:49 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: that file does not contain any entry,.. It just contain this line | 17:49 |
| neo1691_ | PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" | 17:49 |
| MestreLion | it does not have LANG or LANGUAGE ? | 17:50 |
| neo1691_ | my locale set is en_IN.. maybe thats not supported with the browsers here!! I guess | 17:50 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion,: Nope it doesn't | 17:51 |
| MestreLion | have you typed "locale" in a terminal? pastebin me the output | 17:51 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: Sorry i cannot use pastebin as i cannot see anything in any browsers!! there has to be some other alternative!! the first line in terminal after typing locale is LANG = en_IN | 17:52 |
| MestreLion | apt-get install pastebinit | 17:53 |
| MestreLion | and then: | 17:53 |

| Meteorskies | Hello, I'd like some help, I've installed Ubuntu then windows seven in dual boot, but it overwrote the MBR and I don't have grub anymore and no way to boot ubuntu, can someone help? | 17:53 |
| MestreLion | and then | 17:53 |
| MestreLion | locale | pastebinit | 17:53 |

| ubottu | Meteorskies: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 17:55 |
| Meteorskies | thanks, I'm gonna check | 17:56 |
| MestreLion | looks fine neo1691_ , I don't think locale is your isue | 17:56 |
| gizmobay | How can I tell which path has priority? For example, if I type a program in a terminal will it look into /usr/local/bin first or /usr/bin. | 17:57 |
| oCean | gizmobay: echo $PATH will show the order | 17:57 |
| gizmobay | thanks | 17:57 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: I guess i will wait for a day or two!! if nothing happens i will go for a re-install!!! 5th straight time!! and this time i will install everything myself!! :-) This is how i learn!! I am only worried about the grub issue | 17:58 |
| === serverdata is now known as ktml78 | ||
| MestreLion | neo1691_: if you want to make sure your locales are fine, try sudo locale-gen | 17:58 |
| ktml78 | Ciao, qualcuno puo' aiutarmi con adatatore wifi?? | 17:58 |
| pfifo | !it | ktml78 | 17:59 |
| ubottu | ktml78: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 17:59 |
| ktml78 | #ubuntu-it | 17:59 |
| MestreLion | gizmobay: echo $PATH | 17:59 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: One failed in that list en_ZM.UTF-8... cannot open locale definition file `en_ZM': No such file or directory | 18:00 |
| neo1691_ | failed | 18:00 |
| neo1691_ | all others were successfull | 18:00 |
| MestreLion | that is fine | 18:00 |
| MestreLion | now go to Menu > System > Administration > Languages | 18:01 |
| MestreLion | check if the languages are set the way you want | 18:01 |
| GaryDev | this must be my lucky day.. (not).. anyone know where the #apache room went to? I can't find it in the freenode.net list of rooms | 18:01 |
| neo1691_ | it gives a warning Some translations or writing aids available for your chosen languages are not installed yet. Do you want to install them now? | 18:02 |
| oCean | GaryDev: it's #httpd | 18:02 |
| GaryDev | LOL.. Thanks oCean .. never would have thought of that | 18:02 |
| oCean | :) | 18:03 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: but, really, look at the big picture... you installed your system only 3 days ago.. so there is very very little customization effort done.. this is not a 2-years-of-preferences-and-fine-tunning system we are talking about. Also, this is Lucid 10.04, which is an almost 2 years old release. In less than a month Ubuntu 12.04 will be released, it's also an LTS... and it will last until 2015.. a | 18:03 |
| === Mikhail is now known as Guest10195 | ||
| MestreLion | neo1691_: so is it really worth to have a "definitive install" of an old release that will only last for 1 year? | 18:05 |
| MestreLion | is it worth troubleshooting and waste 2, 3 hours when a reinstall takes less than half an hour? | 18:05 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: I tried mint12, ubuntu 10.04, ubuntu 12.04, ubuntu 11.10 and only 10.04 seems to work for me.. My system has some grave heating problems and drives for ati are not available!! | 18:05 |
| neo1691_ | I have also installed many things using my limited bandwidth!!.. I want to learn linux and have chosen 10.04 as the platform!! I can do anything i want to learn and after learning i plan to get a better and latest machine with the latest OS | 18:06 |
| pfifo | neo1691_, you should just start with the latest it can teach you the same things | 18:07 |
| MestreLion | my suggestion, since you are a newcomer, is to install anything now (even 10.04), and try it for a month, so you get used to it... play around, poke around, get familiar... and then, next month, being a lot more skilled and experienced, install 12.04, LTS... | 18:07 |
| neo1691_ | pfifo: 12.04 was laggy on my system! :-( so reverted to 10.04!! MestreLion : I cannot live without a browser for a month!! | 18:09 |
| pfifo | neo1691_, 12.04 is a beta | 18:09 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: also, more recent releases have more tools for dealing with overheating issues... there are temperature monitors, PWM fan control, etc | 18:09 |
| dimitri7 | ok | 18:10 |
| MestreLion | and more hardware support | 18:10 |
| Mikhail_ | Linux Rules! :D | 18:10 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: Hmm that sounds good!! Okay lets wait for sometime and see.. else the new LTS will be it!! | 18:10 |
| MestreLion | and of course you can't live a month without web browser! reboot with your CD | 18:11 |
| MestreLion | use gparted to delete your current install | 18:11 |
| MestreLion | and start the install from scratch | 18:11 |
| MestreLion | you will still be able to dual boot | 18:11 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: But then windows?? | 18:11 |
| MestreLion | grub will find windows 7, just like it did before | 18:12 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: Okay then i will do it after a few days!! :) | 18:12 |
| MestreLion | you can have web browser back in less than a few hours if you want :P | 18:13 |
| MestreLion | use this month to do experiments... | 18:13 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: Linux is for fun and learning!! Sure then!! If i am able to solve this i will report here!! :) Thanks for your time!! | 18:13 |
| MestreLion | for example, in 3 days you learned that running hugely-invasive scripts from websites are not a good idea | 18:14 |
| MestreLion | imagine what you can learn in 30 :P | 18:14 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: Thats not something to boost of!! :D | 18:14 |
| MestreLion | don't worry, I also installed Ubuntu Tweak in my first time with Linux | 18:15 |
| dimitri7 | what is a tombstone condition? | 18:15 |
| MestreLion | took me a while to realize it is a very lame app | 18:15 |
| MestreLion | Ubuntu is not Windows... it does not require that much fine-tunning for it to be secure and stable | 18:16 |
| MestreLion | it has no "cruft" to clean | 18:16 |
| neo1691_ | hey even i have that tweak!! Don't know what it does!! But still!! I managed to get compiz working. I made that script executable using chmod. :D | 18:17 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: my most precious advise: Software Center is your best friend | 18:17 |
| dimitri7 | what is a tombstone condition? | 18:17 |
| dimitri7 | . | 18:17 |
| MestreLion | we have no idea, dimitri7 ... how about giving us a little more detail | 18:18 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: here at my place internet is very precious!! i have a limit of just 5 gb usage per month! I wasted all of it in installing many things! :( | 18:18 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: hint... you can use Nautilus GUI to make a scritpt executable :P | 18:18 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: take a look at /var/cache/apt | 18:19 |
| dimitri7 | Failing to do so leads to a tombstone condition. | 18:19 |
| MestreLion | dimitri7: failing to do what? | 18:19 |
| oCean | dimitri7: is that an ubuntu question? | 18:19 |
| ohptlabs | so i was using transmission on a 88.8gb file collection and im about 20% in and over 500mb is corrupt. i did a check locala files, but it didn't seem to change the amount that is corrupt. is there anyway to find out which file or parts are corrupt and either get new pieces of the files or redownload the files? | 18:20 |
| dimitri7 | to installa some services in ubuntu | 18:20 |
| dimitri7 | ** install | 18:20 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: it got archives folder and pkgcache.bin and one more .bin file | 18:20 |
| oCean | dimitri7: really, you should give some details | 18:20 |
| MestreLion | man, some think we are psychics | 18:21 |
| neo1691_ | and in archives there are locale files!! related to thunderbird gimp and all but none related to firefox, chromium or chrome | 18:21 |
| MestreLion | neo1691_: you see the .deb files there? | 18:21 |
| neo1691_ | yes | 18:22 |
| MestreLion | you can save them, so you don't have to download them again | 18:22 |
| neo1691_ | okay!! I thought firefox is missing there so maybe that was the issue | 18:22 |
| MestreLion | no, no | 18:23 |
| MestreLion | firefox comes with ubuntu | 18:23 |
| MestreLion | those are only the packages that you downloaded *after* the install | 18:24 |
| neo1691_ | MestreLion: I am tired now!! Missing fonts is the mystery to be solved | 18:24 |
| neo1691_ | bye | 18:24 |
| pahlevani | hi | 18:25 |
| unixbeardxd| | Hello pahlevani | 18:25 |
| ooiiooo_ | I plan a reinstall. I saved the list of installed packages, I copied my home dir. Do I wan't to backup anything else? | 18:25 |
| pfifo | ohptlabs, it immediately discards corrupt data | 18:26 |
| ooiiooo | quit | 18:27 |
| MestreLion | ooiiooo_: maybe /etc, if you changed any system-wide setting | 18:27 |
| unixbeardxd| | Any configuration files for anything you have manually configured and want to keep | 18:27 |
| MestreLion | ooiiooo_: you going to reinstall the same release? | 18:28 |
| ooiiooo_ | MestreLion: yes, need to switch from gpt to mbr | 18:28 |
| MestreLion | i don't think you need a reinstall for that | 18:29 |
| unixbeardxd| | That shouldn't need a complete reinstall surely | 18:29 |
| ooiiooo_ | ok, what do I do? | 18:29 |
| MestreLion | backup your / partition | 18:30 |
| MestreLion | do the switch | 18:30 |
| MestreLion | then restore | 18:30 |
| ooiiooo_ | I don't have that much backup space | 18:30 |
| ohptlabs | pfifo, oh thank you. why does it tell me how much was corrupt then? | 18:31 |
| MestreLion | willing to do a full system reinstall, and re-do all your preferences and configs and fine-tunings... | 18:31 |
| MestreLion | because of ... no disk space? | 18:31 |
| unixbeardxd| | I can't remember the commands, google will. Reconfigure GRUB to install on the MBR, and find the ID of wherever /boot is | 18:31 |
| pfifo | ohptlabs, its just a statistic | 18:31 |
| ohptlabs | thank you kindly once again ^_^ | 18:32 |
| MestreLion | ooiiooo_: how large is your / partition? | 18:33 |
| ooiiooo_ | MestreLion: 120GB | 18:34 |
| MestreLion | ... and excluding your /home it is... ? | 18:34 |
| MestreLion | i doubt it is more than 30 | 18:35 |
| ooiiooo_ | you mean only used space? | 18:35 |
| unixbeardxd| | Not split in to /var /opt and others? | 18:35 |
| himsin | Hi, I want to install a guest operating system in KVM. I am using ubuntu 10.10 desktop.Is there any good tutorial/documentation/blog on it? | 18:35 |
| pmp6nl | Hello all, I have two computers and one backup hard drive. What is the best way to sync files between all of them. Im looking for a GUI (maybe based on rsync?) | 18:36 |
| MestreLion | himsin: must be KVM? There is Virtualbox , and it is wonderful | 18:36 |
| MestreLion | yes ooiiooo_ , only used space | 18:36 |
| zykotick9 | himsin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 18:36 |
| himsin | MestreLion, yes it must be KVM | 18:36 |
| ooiiooo_ | MestreLion: 18G used excluding home. And no, I don't have that much backup space. Only a 4GB USB stick. | 18:37 |
| pfifo | himsin, All i needed was the manual page for KVM, its pretty straight forward | 18:37 |
| unixbeardxd| | pmp6nl, the best solution I have found is to run rsync on a schedule. Depends on your window and how much needs compared and transfered | 18:37 |
| calico | any ideas how to make my wireless more stable on acer aspire | 18:37 |
| MestreLion | pmp6nl: try Deja Dup or Grsync | 18:37 |
| ooiiooo_ | have to go. thanks for your suggestions, though. | 18:37 |
| * zykotick9 thinks backing up / is a silly waste of space - back up your config files and reinstall | 18:37 | |
| Gaming4JC | I don't suppose Ubuntu has anything like this? http://www.eltima.com/products/virtual-modem-pro/ (virtual 56k modems!) :D | 18:38 |
| pmp6nl | unixbeardxd| and MestreLion thanks for the suggestions | 18:38 |
| calico | ? | 18:38 |
| pmp6nl | unixbeardxd| and MestreLion will rsync keep everything synced even if something is uploaded to one or the other, will it consolidate changes? | 18:39 |
| MestreLion | pmp6nl: grsync, as you might have guessed, is a GUI for rsync... and it also supports scheduling | 18:39 |
| zykotick9 | pmp6nl: no - rsync is a one way process, unison is more 2 directional | 18:39 |
| pmp6nl | MestreLion ok, thanks | 18:39 |
| pmp6nl | zykotisck9 ok, thanks. Can it be 3 way? | 18:39 |
| zykotick9 | !tab > pmp6nl | 18:40 |
| ubottu | pmp6nl, please see my private message | 18:40 |
| zykotick9 | pmp6nl: not sure... | 18:40 |
| MestreLion | pmp6nl: no, rsync will make a destination looks like the source... but not the other way around | 18:40 |
| pmp6nl | MestreLion, ok thanks. Unison the best option for 2way | 18:41 |
| pmp6nl | zykotick9, thanks for the tip, that is much faster | 18:41 |
| MestreLion | pmp6nl: you are welcome, but zykotick9 deserves the credit, not me :P | 18:41 |
| pmp6nl | zykotick9, thanks | 18:41 |

| Xabster | If anyone today follows his Gods rules and morals they would be sent to prison immediately | 18:47 |
| pfifo | quadroarte, once you have booted to your system run `sudo update-initramfs -ck all` and reboot | 18:48 |
| quadroarte | pfifo from live cd with chroot i try " update-initramfs -k all -u" | 18:48 |
| orionsonofneptun | k | 18:49 |
| pfifo | quadroarte, no a livecd isnt an acceptable alternative | 18:49 |
| levitsky | any blackbuntu users? | 18:50 |
| quadroarte | pfifo i cant boot to my system | 18:50 |
| pfifo | quadroarte, you said you can assemble your raid from the initramfs prompt | 18:50 |
| quadroarte | yes | 18:50 |
| pfifo | quadroarte, so why wont it boot? | 18:51 |
| pfifo | quadroarte, did you type 'exit' after you assembled it? | 18:51 |
| quadroarte | pfifo, no | 18:52 |

| Gigabyte | wow | 18:58 |

| dmlonghorn | hello | 18:58 |
| dmlonghorn | is anyone in here? | 18:59 |
| ikonia | Gigabyte: not really something #ubuntu is concerned with | 18:59 |
| GaryDev | Fyi.. for those who love to know the answers.. With Webmin screwing up apache, doing the purge and clean and re-install is great, but you also need to re-enable the php side of things. This link explains that. It was simple, and the problem is now solved with the website working properly.. http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DebianPHP | 18:59 |
| pfifo | CharminTheMoose, the kernel takes up a large portion of memory, creating a custom kernel with only the options you need, no madule support and no initrd should reduce that even further | 18:59 |
| shriphani | hello everyone. I am trying to use xmonad standalone with ubuntu. I find that I need to fire up wifi sometimes on booting up my machine and I am forced to launch unity-2d-launcher. Is it possible to use the "Network" app that I can access from unity's desktop search directly from the command line as opposed to firing up unity ? | 18:59 |
| ikonia | Gigabyte: webmin isn't supported in Ubuntu | 18:59 |
| Aurnov | ARGH | 18:59 |
| ikonia | ops, | 19:00 |
| Gigabyte | I'm curious as to what kind of system you are putting this ubertiny 'Buntu on? | 19:00 |
| ikonia | GaryDev: webmin isn't supported in ubuntu | 19:00 |
| Aurnov | Someone wanna help meinself out? | 19:00 |
| ikonia | Gigabyte: ubuntu can go on any supported architechture / system | 19:00 |
| Aurnov | Yeah? | 19:00 |
| Aurnov | Such nice people. | 19:00 |
| Gigabyte | So does that mean I could strip out Lubuntu and get it to work on an ancient Palm Treo Smartphone? o.O | 19:01 |
| ikonia | Gigabyte: no, any supported architechture as I said | 19:01 |
| Aurnov | Harro prease | 19:01 |
| pfifo | Gigabyte, is palm uses x86 or arm | 19:01 |
| GaryDev | ikonia: So I have just found out.. I will be removing it, are you aware of any other interfaces that do work? The server is remote, there is no GUI side for it.. | 19:01 |
| Gigabyte | Mobile devices all use ARM architecture | 19:01 |
| Gigabyte | except for a certain few | 19:01 |
| Jikan | any idea about where to file a bug related to /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade? | 19:01 |
| ikonia | Gigabyte: no-one is saying they are not | 19:02 |
| ikonia | Gigabyte: I'd suggest reading ubuntu.com to get an overview to what ubuntu is about and what it will run on | 19:02 |
| Aurnov | I thought it would run well on this machine. | 19:02 |
| Aurnov | Holy jesus, was I wrong. | 19:02 |
| Gigabyte | Been there, done that, used to run it on a Touch Pro 2 (but that was a custom ROM) | 19:02 |
| Gigabyte | Also used to run it on a ancient iMac before PPC suppport was axed | 19:03 |
| Aurnov | Seriously, though. Anyone able to assist me? | 19:03 |
| Gigabyte | Aurunov what kind of system? | 19:03 |
| Aurnov | Some dinosaur of a Dell. | 19:03 |
| Gigabyte | RAM? | 19:03 |
| Aurnov | Can't be too specific, as it was just given to me recently. | 19:03 |
| Aurnov | Under a gig. | 19:03 |
| Aurnov | Just over half. | 19:03 |
| frankpad | After replacing the cartridge chip ("toner meter") now the toner indicator shows as full and I can make photocopies, but I cannot print from Ubuntu. Please help. This is the output of the HP diagnostic tool: http://paste.ubuntu.com/889592/ | 19:03 |
| droid-0854 | Linux can be very limited supporting some hardware | 19:04 |
| Aurnov | But it's not that that's causing me problems. | 19:04 |
| Aurnov | It's the resolution. | 19:04 |
| Aurnov | It's all manner of ill at the moment. | 19:04 |
| Gigabyte | Using regular Ubuntu or a lighter derivative? | 19:04 |
| MonkeyDust | !hp | 19:04 |
| droid-0854 | But you can fix that | 19:04 |
| Aurnov | Regular. | 19:04 |
| Gigabyte | Gonna say.. I prefer Xubuntu for older systems because of the lower overhead | 19:04 |
| Gigabyte | As for teh resolution - what graphics card? | 19:05 |
| Aurnov | The internet demanded I use Ubuntu, as I'm a "beginner" | 19:05 |
| Aurnov | That, I have no clue. | 19:05 |
| Aurnov | But I'm sure it's low-end standard piece that dell slapped in their machines at the time. | 19:05 |
| MonkeyDust | !cups| frankpad maybe this (l)ink is useful | 19:05 |
| ubottu | frankpad maybe this (l)ink is useful: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 19:05 |
| Gigabyte | Okay - if you can pull up Hardware Info it will telll you | 19:05 |
| ikonia | Aurnov: the interenet demands nothing, you choose what you use | 19:05 |
| Aurnov | By "Demand", I of course meant reccomended highly. | 19:05 |
| frankpad | I'll check it | 19:05 |
| Aurnov | As did most people I spoke to about that. | 19:06 |
| Aurnov | Now, about this hardware info? | 19:06 |
| Aurnov | How does one access this? I'm sure it's blatantly open, but a large portion of the screen, I can't see. | 19:06 |
| Gigabyte | Top left button, search Hardware Info" in the box - did I get that right? | 19:06 |
| CharminTheMoose | pfifo, cool yeah, I was doing some googling on the topic and I read that userspace stuff like 'free' doesn't take into account the memory the kernel/module uses.. Unless the stuff I read is old? | 19:06 |
| CharminTheMoose | *modules | 19:06 |
| Gigabyte | Also, have you pressed "Auto Adjust" on your screen yet? | 19:06 |
| Gigabyte | Oftentimes screen timing in Linux doesn't match windows, and the screen shifts to one side | 19:07 |
| pfifo | CharminTheMoose, no it doesnt | 19:07 |
| GaryDev | Anyway, really appreciate the the help today. Last question (for now).. Are there any other types of program similar to webmin that I can use? The command prompt is a little scarey, but if that's what I am left with then I have a lot of learning to do. | 19:07 |
| Aurnov | It's not so much shifted as it is bloated horribly. | 19:07 |
| Gigabyte | When I say "On the screen, I mean the monitor itself | 19:07 |
| ikonia | GaryDev: some people rate ebox | 19:07 |
| Gigabyte | You can change the screen resolution and that might fix the problem | 19:08 |
| Aurnov | Aaaaaand nothing comes up when I do search for "Hardware info". | 19:08 |
| MonkeyDust | ebox is now called zentyal | 19:08 |
| GaryDev | ikonia: thank you | 19:08 |
| Gigabyte | Button on the top left - the big one, below the bar - type Monitor | 19:08 |
| Gigabyte | and that should get you the screen settings IIRC | 19:08 |
| Aurnov | I tried changing it in the settings dealie, but it gave me no other options. | 19:08 |
| Gigabyte | Interesting | 19:08 |
| Gigabyte | What's the model of the DELL? | 19:09 |
| Gigabyte | Is it an old Dimension XPS from the Pentium III days? | 19:09 |
| Gigabyte | or older | 19:09 |
| pfifo | mmm... pentium3 | 19:09 |
| Aurnov | It's a dimension desker. | 19:09 |
| Gigabyte | Those ran nVidia Riva TNT and GeForce 2 cards | 19:09 |
| Gigabyte | I know I've had problems with the old Riva TNT2 cards and screen resses | 19:10 |
| Gigabyte | as well as the Intel Integrated Graphics | 19:10 |
| titan | hello all! need some help with installing virtualbox in Lubuntu | 19:10 |
| Aurnov | I dunno, but this is a nightmare. | 19:10 |
| CharminTheMoose | pfifo, Hmm, so using top and then sorting by resident memory, gives me the 8 userspace processes.. but adding the resident memory figures up doesn't give me 11MB.. More like 5MB.. or 5260KB. :/ | 19:10 |
| Gigabyte | Model number? It's on the front of it | 19:10 |
| droid-0854 | Pfifo, I have a pentium 3 running puppy linux | 19:10 |
| Aurnov | Dimension 3800. | 19:10 |
| Gigabyte | If it's a Pentium 4 desktop the model number usualy surrounds the power button | 19:10 |
| CharminTheMoose | ANd by 8, I in fact mean 4 processes running now. :P | 19:11 |
| Gigabyte | Okay... that gives us something to work on | 19:11 |
| Aurnov | One moment. | 19:11 |
| Gigabyte | Is the plug for the monitor down near the bottom or up where all the other ports are? | 19:11 |
| MonkeyDust | titan i use virtualbox, but not in Lubuntu | 19:11 |
| dmlonghorn | anyone here running Pinguy OS? | 19:11 |
| titan | monkeydust i used it too | 19:12 |
| dmlonghorn | its amazing | 19:12 |
| ikonia | dmlonghorn: it's not something thats supported here | 19:12 |
| Gigabyte | lol | 19:12 |
| titan | but now i get a error:If you have upgraded VirtualBox recently, please make sure you have terminated all VMs and upgraded any extension packs. If this error persists, try re-installing VirtualBox. (VERR_PDM_DEVHLPR3_VERSION_MISMATCH). | 19:12 |
| pfifo | CharminTheMoose, im not sure, i have the same issues, there doesnt seem to be any tool that gives accurate and detailed memory usage | 19:12 |
| Gigabyte | Might have a better reception in the Pinguy IRC lol | 19:12 |
| Aurnov | And back. | 19:12 |
| MonkeyDust | titan and did you? | 19:12 |
| titan | yes | 19:12 |
| Aurnov | Down near the bottom. | 19:12 |
| titan | and same thing | 19:12 |
| Gigabyte | Okay it has a graphics card | 19:13 |
| Aurnov | Way, way low. | 19:13 |
| Gigabyte | it could be an old Radeon or Rage card - or a TNT2 or a GeForce 2 | 19:13 |
| titan | this is a fresh install of os | 19:13 |
| dmlonghorn | lol all Pinguy OS is, is ubuntu with a custom setup | 19:13 |
| MonkeyDust | titan rather radical, maybe you have to delete the .virtualbox folder | 19:13 |
| Aurnov | I've no clue. | 19:13 |
| Gigabyte | If its an old Rage or Riva card that might be our prolem | 19:13 |
| ikonia | dmlonghorn: it's not, but "ok", either way, it's not supported here | 19:13 |
| titan | I'll try that too | 19:14 |
| titan | monkeydust I'll be back thanks! | 19:14 |
| Aurnov | As far as I looked, and acted, what I found proved to be ineffective obscenely. | 19:15 |
| Gigabyte | As silly as t sounds - getting an old GeForce 2 or newer AGP card will fix the screen problems | 19:15 |
| Aurnov | That's not an option, financially speaking. | 19:15 |
| hafos | MestreLion: I followed your instructions and downloaded the alternate iso to install to a raid0 partition; however it immediatly tells me "no DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found" | 19:15 |
| Gigabyte | replacing the card it has | 19:15 |
| hafos | Am I doing it wrong? :-( | 19:16 |
| Gigabyte | If you have $8 to blow you can do it on ebay for the card | 19:16 |
| Aurnov | And yet, I don't. | 19:16 |
| Aurnov | Ah, poverty. | 19:16 |
| Gigabyte | What about restricted drivers? did that show up? | 19:16 |
| Aurnov | yew mai only freeend. | 19:16 |
| Aurnov | It did pop up, a drive thing. | 19:17 |
| Aurnov | driver, rather. | 19:17 |
| Aurnov | I chose the "reccomended" driver. | 19:17 |
| jardineworks | hey guys | 19:17 |
| Aurnov | Which was already installed and active. | 19:17 |
| levitsky | guys does blackbuntu have the same drivers as ubuntu is packaged whith? | 19:17 |
| Aurnov | And then, when I clicked that, it disappeared. | 19:17 |
| Gigabyte | Restricted Drivers allows you to enable thrid party drivers for your system - which "recommended" driver was it? | 19:17 |
| Aurnov | Some Nvidia nonsense. | 19:17 |
| Gigabyte | If it | 19:17 |
| Gigabyte | Okay, so it is a GeForce series then | 19:18 |
| Aurnov | I'm guessing so. | 19:18 |
| Gigabyte | You need to make sure you gotthe riht driver | 19:18 |
| nancy-- | oCean, how to check the user and gouprs file in linux | 19:18 |
| Gigabyte | There's more than 1 driver and only one works right | 19:18 |
| jardineworks | I need some help. My client has asked me to help them with an issue they are having. They have one MONOLITHIC portlet that is used to house 6 individual portlets. The portlets are mixed bag.. some using JSP others using ExtJS. | 19:18 |
| Gigabyte | You need to pull up "Additional Drivers | 19:18 |
| Aurnov | I wish I could find out with certainty which card I actually have. | 19:19 |
| Gigabyte | and make sure the NVIDIA Graphics Driver version 96 (less than one hundred) is the one that's green | 19:19 |
| Gigabyte | You can - the Hardware Info control panel | 19:19 |
| jardineworks | shoot -- wrong channel | 19:19 |
| jardineworks | sorry guys | 19:19 |
| Aurnov | Yes, I typed that in, as you said. | 19:19 |
| Aurnov | And nothing came up? | 19:19 |
| Gigabyte | System Profiler | 19:19 |
| Gigabyte | ? | 19:19 |
| OerHeks | Aurnov, lspci | grep VGA | 19:20 |
| Gigabyte | I usually use Xubuntu ad Lubuntu, and they have slightly different tools | 19:20 |
| Gigabyte | Thank you someone who is a terminal commando | 19:20 |
| Gigabyte | Type what OerHerks said in Terminal | 19:20 |
| Aurnov | One moment. | 19:21 |
| dwon | Has anyone else noticed "Bus errors" and/or sound not working in linux 3.0.0-16? | 19:21 |
| Gigabyte | haven't had problems - maybe proble with specific chipset audio? | 19:22 |
| hafos | In order to initiate the "alternate" install, do you do the same as with the normal one? Or do you need to prepare it somehow using config files or what not | 19:22 |
| Aurnov | Hm? | 19:22 |
| titan | monkeydust if you're there just tried and same result | 19:22 |
| dwon | Gigabyte: basically, Flash sound is broken in Firefox, and chromium-browser won't start at all. Booting 3.0.0-15 fixes it | 19:22 |
| Gigabyte | Alternate Install is a disk that runs a lower memory version of the regular nstaller? | 19:22 |
| ikonia | hafos: it's a totally different install media | 19:22 |
| Ananonymous1967 | "/join #francophone" | 19:22 |
| hafos | I realize it's a different iso file ikonia but I downloaded it, erased my usb drive that had the other ubuntu on it, and replaced the files - didnt boot | 19:23 |
| Gigabyte | Souds like a problem with Adobe Flash not being compatible or having a problem with 3.0-16 | 19:23 |
| ikonia | hafos: you're using a CD media with a USB installer, there are many things that could be a problem | 19:23 |
| dwon | Gigabyte: That doesn't explain why chromium would just crash | 19:24 |
| Gigabyte | As for the Alt Install, that doesn't always work on the same systems as the regular install - also verufy file integrity of the download | 19:24 |
| dwon | on startup | 19:24 |
| Gigabyte | Chromium has Flash integrated into it | 19:24 |
| hafos | ikonia: upon booting from it it tells me "no DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found" | 19:24 |
| dwon | doesn't it start as a separate process, though? | 19:24 |
| frankpad | After replacing the cartridge chip ("toner meter") now the toner indicator shows as full and I can make photocopies, but I cannot print from Ubuntu. Please help. This is the output of the HP diagnostic tool: http://paste.ubuntu.com/889592/ Note: I have checked the links but I couldn't find relevant information. | 19:24 |
| itaylor57 | Gigabyte, that is Chrome, no Chromium | 19:24 |
| dwon | Anyway, I guess others haven't mentioned it, eh? | 19:24 |
| MonkeyDust | titan it says "version mismatch" somewhere -- make sure you don't mix oracle's virtualbox with virtualbox-ose | 19:25 |
| Gigabyte | ORLY? Never noticed - problem might still be with Adobe Flash | 19:25 |
| Aurnov | Ah, okay. | 19:25 |
| Aurnov | There's an update for the driver. | 19:25 |
| Aurnov | Mayhap that will fixify the problem. | 19:25 |
| Gigabyte | Yes, but choose the Version 9X of it | 19:25 |
| Gigabyte | not the 18X or higher | 19:25 |
| dwon | Gigabyte: oh, it's not just flash. I tried starting pulseaudio on the command line, and after a few seconds of Flash running, pulseaudio crashes with a bus error | 19:26 |
| titan | I only checked oracle virtual box for install | 19:26 |
| Gigabyte | The pre-100 driver is for old cards | 19:26 |
| dwon | Gigabyte: I'm pretty sure it's a kernel problem, but I was hoping somebody might know the bug number. :) | 19:26 |
| Aurnov | I'm just going off of what's in "additional drivers" | 19:26 |
| titan | I check my home folder carefully right now | 19:26 |
| Gigabyte | Flash might be crashing pulseaudio | 19:26 |
| Aurnov | Also, this is running horribly. | 19:26 |
| Aurnov | I don't think it's gonna stick. | 19:26 |
| Gigabyte | Aurunov Recommended using Xubuntu for that system | 19:26 |
| MonkeyDust | titan do you get the error when you launch the vbox app, or when you launch a virtual machine? | 19:26 |
| Gigabyte | I am running it now on a 3.06 Pentium 4 machine which is about what that old 380 can do | 19:27 |
| titan | monkeydust when i launch a virtual machine | 19:27 |
| MonkeyDust | titan my advice is to use virtualbox-ose | 19:27 |
| Gigabyte | Uses much less RAM and system overhead - Unity interface is a lot harder on computers than Xubuntu's desktop | 19:28 |
| sidney | Can someone tell me how to fix this http://paste.ubuntu.com/889628/ | 19:28 |
| Aurnov | Well, gotta restart. | 19:28 |
| Aurnov | blurble | 19:28 |
| titan | monkeydust I'll do that right now and hope it will work | 19:28 |
| Ananonymous1967 | irc.anonops.bz | 19:28 |
| Gigabyte | That looks like a programming error - or a config problem in the source | 19:29 |
| titan | monkeydust do I need to delete all that's related with oracle virtualbox? | 19:29 |
| MonkeyDust | titan yes, just don't delete the virtual machines | 19:30 |
| titan | monkeydust lol | 19:30 |
| zykotick9 | titan: what version of ubuntu are you using? vbox-ose will only be found in older releases, also FYI it doesn't support USB | 19:32 |
| frankpad | After replacing the cartridge chip ("toner meter") now the toner indicator shows as full and I can make photocopies, but I cannot print from Ubuntu. Please help. This is the output of the HP diagnostic tool: http://paste.ubuntu.com/889592/ Note: I have checked the links but I couldn't find relevant information. | 19:32 |
| titan | monkeydust 11.10 and in repository i found a virtualbox-ose | 19:33 |
| titan | but can't install | 19:33 |
| MonkeyDust | it says here "virtualbox-ose - transitional package for virtualbox" | 19:34 |
| mint | Hello. Can some dev here please tell Linus to write something so the Linux Kernel automatically recognizes a CF memory card or a SD, I do not want to mount and add paths and stuff | 19:34 |
| titan | yes | 19:34 |
| CacheMoney | If I can't join an IRC channel, does that mean I'm banned? And if so, is there any way to get back in? | 19:34 |
| mint | Thank you | 19:34 |
| zykotick9 | MonkeyDust: vbox-ose is no more, they merged it with regular virtualbox | 19:35 |
| Gigabyte | CacheMoney: not always - couldbe pasworded or nvite only, and that | 19:35 |
| mint | I' m in a LiveCD and still this distro can' t recognize my cards | 19:35 |
| Gigabyte | that is like asking if its possible to break down a door | 19:35 |
| MonkeyDust | whaddayaknow! zykotick9 's right, "Oracle Virtualbox" in the top bar! | 19:35 |
| MonkeyDust | hadnt even noticed | 19:36 |
| CacheMoney | Gigabyte: it's the #RubyOnRails channel, I've been in it for the past month with no problems.. | 19:36 |
| titan | monkeydust I'm ack to the begining | 19:36 |
| titan | back* | 19:36 |
| Gigabyte | Try /query 'ing one of the members of Ruby and see if they know | 19:37 |
| MonkeyDust | titan i'm leaving my desk for a while | 19:37 |
| titan | monkeydust k thanks! | 19:37 |
| === alien_ is now known as Guest74689 | ||
| hafos | I'm currently at the step "installer components to load" in the alternate installation. Should I load anything here to use a raid0 partition (hardware raid) ? | 19:38 |
| Gigabyte | It should have drviers in it already | 19:39 |
| virusuy | howdy y'all | 19:39 |
| Gigabyte | That and Hardware RAID is handled by the RAID controller not the OS - though the OS knows the presence and configuration of the RAID. | 19:39 |
| Gigabyte | usuay | 19:40 |
| Gigabyte | have to admit - its not easy typing on the virtually indestructable keyboard | 19:40 |
| shade34321 | I have a computer that is randomly crashing, turning off completely or restarting. I'm currently running a memory test but anybody have any suggestions as to what else it could be | 19:41 |
| Gigabyte | Faling motherboard | 19:41 |
| Gigabyte | failing software (OS errors) | 19:41 |
| Gigabyte | failing hard drive | 19:41 |
| Gigabyte | failing CPU | 19:41 |
| Gigabyte | failing Graphics Card (seen that make a system look bad like that too) | 19:41 |
| shade34321 | Gigabyte: I'd hope it's not a hard drive...just installed a new 2TB hard drive in it | 19:41 |

| Guest87152 | hi all. does anyone know why the new kernels run hotter or what can be done about it? 2.6.38-8 idles at 43 C for me. 3.0 adds another 5 degrees. | 19:42 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest48390 | ||
| Gigabyte | Is your CPU throttling down? | 19:43 |
| Gigabyte | If not, maybe that's why - if it is, I guess 3.0 is just a bit heavier on the system than 2.68 | 19:44 |
| Gigabyte | Is that all that changed? | 19:44 |
| Gigabyte | Or did other thingsget updated too? | 19:44 |
| Gigabyte | Run top and see what's chugging the CPU along | 19:44 |
| Guest87152 | Gigabyte yeah it throttles down, i have cpu on conservative settings | 19:44 |
| OerHeks | Gigabyte, wrong guess, Guest87152 from kernel 3.2 and up, most powerissues are solved. | 19:46 |
| Guest87152 | Gigabyte top shows xorg as most power hungry, but only at 2-3% | 19:46 |
| Giuse | ciao | 19:46 |
| Gigabyte | okay time for me to run - have to breathe new life into an old AMD Compaq (256 MB of ram + XP = LOL) | 19:46 |

| Gigabyte | Gonna bump it up to Gigabyte levels lol | 19:46 |
| Gigabyte | .!makecoffee | 19:47 |
| Guest87152 | OerHeks so if i upgrade to 3.2 i can get my temps down again? | 19:47 |
| OerHeks | Guest87152, maybe. | 19:47 |
| Gigabyte | Those temps are fine - I have many systems that run much MUCH hotter normally | 19:48 |
| Gigabyte | Like ifthey ran any hotter they would be Nuclear Reactors | 19:48 |
| OerHeks | Guest87152, 43 degrees is not that high | 19:48 |
| Gigabyte | My laptop readily hits 80C | 19:49 |
| Gigabyte | well one of them does | 19:49 |
| hafos | "There was a problem reading data from the cd-rom" well duh, I'm using a USB drive created using LiLi USB Creator as suggested in the docs. What gives? | 19:49 |

| dermaster | Okay well my question is: what version is after 11.10 | 20:00 |
| Kernel_Panic | !12.04 | dermaster | 20:00 |
| ubottu | dermaster: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 20:00 |
| lwizardl | 12.04 | 20:00 |
| quebre | alright, i heard the Ubuntu is newbie friendly, so i installed it on my daughter's PC but each time she run some game (such as 0ad, native for linux afaik, or game thru wine) the system crash without any message, this is the information i taken 2 seconds before crash: cpu temp: 52C, ram usage: 1672MB used, 2288MB free, the whole /var/log gives no information as well, except: Mar 18 20:56:45 HANIA AptDaemon: INFO: Quitting was requested - that's not | 20:00 |
| Nirkus | hey, my update-manager refuses to upgrade to orienic... claims there are no updates for my system (11.04 x64). -c and --dist-upgrade dont help.. | 20:00 |
| quebre | so is UBUNTU really friendly ? | 20:00 |
| UrB | 12.04 - and after that 12.10 and then... | 20:00 |
| quebre | i started to doubt | 20:01 |
| dermaster | ah okay | 20:01 |
| UrB | the format is : year.month | 20:01 |

| dermaster | noooooo | 20:01 |
| dermaster | why not | 20:01 |
| hafos | How does one go about installing Ubuntu on a raid0 volume created by my motherboards raid controller? It can't seem to detect it, though it detects the raid controller when I run "detect disks" | 20:01 |
| UrB | dermaster: because 13 comes after 12 | 20:01 |
| Belial` | because you're skipping 13 | 20:01 |

| dermaster | and i heard something of gnome 2 is not available there | 20:02 |
| bunny69 | 2 as in zwei? | 20:02 |
| auronandace | !gnome2 | dermaster | 20:02 |
| ubottu | dermaster: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 20:02 |
| dermaster | oh big shit | 20:02 |
| dermaster | Uehm | 20:02 |
| dermaster | !notunity | 20:03 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 20:03 |
| dermaster | !classic | 20:03 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 20:03 |
| auronandace | dermaster: i prefer xfce anyway, also please don't swear here | 20:03 |

| ubottu | Xabster-lap: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| sinistrad | vlt, *nods* I'll have to figure out how to re-enable that from the liveCD before I jump into something else and freak out when I can't reach the data | 21:36 |
| OerHeks | jlkkljh, apperently your wubi install is corrupted. it can happen after a kernel update. | 21:36 |
| vlt | sinistrad: A good live CD I would recommend for such tasks is grml.org | 21:37 |
| vlt | sinistrad: (It’s the best I ever used.) | 21:37 |
| sinistrad | vlt, Excellent. I'll look that over and see what I can get into with that. Thanks for the help! | 21:38 |
| vlt | sinistrad: You can run it easily from USB by just writing the iso image to the stick. | 21:38 |
| sinistrad | vlt, cool. looking it over now | 21:38 |
| Cantalupi | hi, im using Lubuntu 11.10. I had to put "acpi=off" in GRUB because without that it wont boot, but when i shutdown the system it stays with a black screen and doesnt actually shutdown. | 21:39 |
| OerHeks | Cantalupi, that is normal with ACPI disabled. | 21:40 |

| Xabster-lap | waxstone, did you actually read my question? | 21:41 |
| jlkkljh | how do you fix a cfg file | 21:42 |
| waxstone | Xabster-lap, yes. Did you read the link? | 21:42 |
| itaylor57 | Xabster-lap, i have oracle 7 and eclipse workin | 21:42 |
| Xabster-lap | Yes, but it doesn't relate to eclipse | 21:42 |
| Cantalupi | i need the "acpi=off" line because without that the boot stops at kernel_thread_helper.... | 21:42 |
| itaylor57 | Xabster-lap, what is your issue? | 21:43 |
| vlt | jlkkljh: 1. Open it in an editor, 2. put the right thing in, 3. save, 4. ???, 5. Profit | 21:43 |
| OerHeks | jlkkljh, what cfg file? | 21:43 |
| itaylor57 | Xabster-lap, what is the result of java -version from terminal | 21:43 |

| noffle | Hello. Is there a way in Unity to have the left sidebar not auto-hide itself when maximizing windows? I'd much rather windows size themselves as to not overlap it. | 21:43 |
| jlkkljh | i mean how do you fix a wubi file | 21:44 |
| Xabster-lap | Problem is that I have a eclipse project that compiles fine on my windows machine, but eclipse gives me errors here | 21:44 |
| OerHeks | noffle, check my-unity, it has that option | 21:44 |

| dsfsd | Cantalupi, I had that issue on my other laptop. I had to do sudo poweroff to shutdown | 21:44 |
| OerHeks | jlkkljh, wubi is very hard to fix. | 21:45 |
| Xabster-lap | itaylor57, can I PM you? | 21:45 |
| itaylor57 | Xabster-lap, sure | 21:45 |
| jlkkljh | well i can still try?? | 21:45 |
| CFHowlett | jlkkljh which is one reason why it's considered sub-optimal for long-term use... | 21:45 |
| noffle | OerHeks: Thanks! | 21:46 |
| zykotick9 | CFHowlett: "sub-optimal" that a very politically-correct way of describing wubi ;) | 21:46 |
| CFHowlett | zykotick9 I have mixed emotions about wubi. I've resolved that if used for its intended purpose, it's a decent product... | 21:47 |
| OerHeks | wubi is nice to see Ubuntu working on your windows, but not recommended for serious work. if it fails, it is hard to fix. best solution is a real installation. | 21:47 |
| pfifo | optimal install = format windows, replace with ubuntu | 21:50 |
| vlt | !wubi | 21:51 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

| vlt | omg | 21:51 |
| pfifo | does wubi work with wine? | 21:52 |
| OerHeks | vlt, safe untill a kernel-update, that is what happened to jlkkljh | 21:52 |
| Draconicus | Hi all. I'm having some trouble with ASLA/Pulseaudio. Pulseaudio doesn't seem to actually be related, since this is still happening with it removed. | 21:52 |
| CFHowlett | pfifo read again. when wubi is running, you have ubunt. | 21:52 |
| pepiko | hello | 21:52 |
| CFHowlett | pfifo when wine is running you have "windows" | 21:52 |
| CFHowlett | pepiko greetings | 21:53 |
| Draconicus | My problem is that ALSA is behaving a lot like OSS. Only one application at a time can produce sound, and there are other issues that mingle with this. | 21:53 |
| vlt | OerHeks: I just didn’t know what wubi is. | 21:53 |
| Draconicus | As an example, if I play music in audacious, even if I pause it, sound in flash will not work until the program is closed. | 21:53 |
| pfifo | CFHowlett, so thats a yes? | 21:53 |
| pepiko | I'm trying ubuntu 12.04 and so far it rocks :D | 21:53 |
| quebre | pepiko: rocks? can you be more specific? | 21:54 |
| Draconicus | pepiko: I might have to explore that. | 21:54 |
| CFHowlett | pfifo if you're running ubuntu via wubi, wine will work | 21:54 |
| pepiko | just have a strange screen with glitches and artifact after i login | 21:54 |
| OerHeks | pepiko, great. but 12.04 has its own support-channel #Ubuntu+1 | 21:54 |
| ubuntu | I'm trying to create a persistent live usb install. The persistence never works. | 21:54 |
| pepiko | it 's like a screenshot from a previous session O_o | 21:54 |
| pfifo | CFHowlett, what if im running wine via ubuntu? | 21:54 |
| badASSlol | im looking for help with wireless dongle can someone help me ? | 21:55 |
| Draconicus | pepiko: Sounds like a compositing problem. Anyway, go to the unique channel. | 21:55 |
| zykotick9 | ubuntu: my personal suggestion would be, forget persistent usb, and just full install onto the USB | 21:55 |
| pepiko | OerHeks, oh! | 21:55 |
| CFHowlett | pfifo if you know a different way to run wine other than ubuntu, it's news to all of us.. | 21:55 |
| OerHeks | pfifo try it, i guess it won't work. | 21:55 |
| ubuntu | Will a full install work on a mac? | 21:55 |

| Draconicus | I would really like to go play a game in WINE without the first little sound blip eating it. | 22:00 |
| zykotick9 | sammmy: "dpkg -l" is one method | 22:00 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, are you booted into your liveusb right now? | 22:00 |
| ubuntu | Yeah. | 22:00 |
| ubuntu | Although, I did this one a little differently, based on some instructions from the forum. | 22:01 |
| dysun | #swift | 22:01 |
| UrB | sammmy: or apt-cache pkgnames | 22:01 |
| ubuntu | I manually created a FAT32 and 2 ext3 partitions, one titled casper-rw and one titled home-rw | 22:01 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, can you pastebin the files /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /etc/default/grub | 22:01 |
| TimeKilla | From the docs "you must use the smbpassword program (typically located in /usr/local/samba/bin/" its not so any idea where i will find it? | 22:01 |
| badASSlol | can i get help here with my crappy wlan usb dongle ? | 22:02 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, and if it exists pastebin /isodevice/boot/grub/grub.cfg | 22:02 |
| wubino | ? what happened when I entered: sudo apt-get remove python | 22:02 |
| ubuntu | I don't have a grub.cfg I have gfblacklist.txt and grubenv | 22:02 |
| pfifo | wubino, it removed a meta-package called python | 22:02 |
| pfifo | !info python | 22:02 |
| scylla | i have the command line up, but ubuntu tells me command not found when i type "run chkdsk /c" any ideas? | 22:02 |
| ubottu | python (source: python-defaults): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.7.2-7ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 161 kB, installed size 768 kB | 22:02 |
| rtdos | what has a smaller footprint: xfce4 or lxde? | 22:03 |
| zykotick9 | rtdos: regarding RAM use, lxde is lighter by quite a bit | 22:03 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, did you add 'persistent' to the kernel line? | 22:03 |
| Draconicus | Ever since I upgraded my Ubuntu system, ALSA has been unable to play from more than one application at a time. They frequently interupt each other and restarting pulseaudio seems to be the only fix. That doesn't give me two sound sources running parallel - just the one. | 22:04 |
| Angeldust76 | des gens de normandie ici ? | 22:04 |
| gisli | I have a weird problem...when I try to install updates I get an error saying there's not enough space on /boot and I should empty trash and run 'apt-get clean'. I've done both things but I'm still getting the error. | 22:04 |
| ubuntu | I added persistent to something... | 22:04 |

| wubino | pfifo, my goal was to uninstall python so I would virtualenv would stop getting confused over which python ruled them all | 22:04 |
| Angeldust76 | ah ok j'avais pas capté thanks | 22:04 |
| rtdos | thanks zykotick9 | 22:04 |
| ubuntu | http://paste.ubuntu.com/889880/ | 22:05 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, did you add 'persistent' to the kernel line? | 22:05 |
| ubuntu | I added it to /syslinux/text.cfg | 22:05 |
| zykotick9 | Draconicus: FYI ALSA isn't very good at sharing it's toys with others - thus why Pulse is typically recommended | 22:05 |
| ubuntu | I'm afraid I don't know an awful lot about linux, including what a "kernel line" is. | 22:06 |
| scylla | any idea why "run chkdsk /c" would bring up an error while in the terminal? | 22:06 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, your using syslinux to boot? | 22:06 |
| ubuntu | How would i know? | 22:06 |
| tanath | can anyone explain why i always get authentication failure when installing certain packages? http://pastebin.com/QrGfwJGj | 22:06 |
| Draconicus | zykotick9: Right, but this happens even when pulse is installed. | 22:06 |
| zykotick9 | scylla: perhaps a question for ##windows as it's a windows command | 22:06 |
| scylla | oh thank you zyotick9 | 22:06 |
| scylla | :) | 22:06 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, does it boot with grub or with syslinux? | 22:06 |
| ubuntu | It isn't grub. | 22:07 |
| sammmy | dpkg -l doesn't display my nodejs installed | 22:07 |
| ubuntu | So, probably syslinux | 22:07 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, well, I recommend using gurb iso boot instead of syslinux, Im not sure if persistance is available with the older method your using | 22:08 |
| ubuntu | At least it doesn't look like grub | 22:08 |
| * Star_Light brb... later guys | 22:08 | |
| Draconicus | zykotick9: This problem started after I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10. It didn't happen before. | 22:08 |
| ubuntu | grub may have changed since the last time I used it (when 8.04 came out) | 22:08 |
| ubuntu | I have /boot/grub | 22:08 |
| ubuntu | but no grub.cfg | 22:08 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, on the usb's filesystem or on the /root? | 22:09 |
| pfifo | / root* | 22:09 |
| ubuntu | On the usb's filesystem | 22:09 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, well thats a good indication your not using grub | 22:10 |
| ubuntu | How would I make it use grub? | 22:10 |
| vit_o | there is a way to check if unity3d is correctly installed? can i re-install (replace) it? | 22:10 |
| ubuntu | I made this with the startup disk creator | 22:10 |
| Lirth | I'm having some sound problems. It's supposed to be used on my HDMI monitor speakers but the sound never works for it. I tested it with headphones and those work with only the right one (I tested them also on my laptop, they work both sides). The computer is producing audio but for some reason it's not traveling to the monitor or left headphone. Any idea why this may be? | 22:11 |
| Draconicus | Slowly going crazy | 22:11 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, you need to learn to do it manually so you can get fine grained control over the process. start with learning how to install grub on a USB and get it to boot an iso | 22:11 |
| rawfodog | I'm using lubuntu, I have a wacom tablet, I was wondering where the wacom config program that is in UBUNTU would be so I can install it on lubuntu | 22:11 |
| Draconicus | vit_o: sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity | 22:11 |
| ubuntu | Alright. | 22:11 |
| Draconicus | vit_o: It won't work if you can't run compiz. | 22:11 |
| KBentley57 | the permissions on a directory are drwxrw-r--. I'm in the group associated with the directory, but I cant access it via ftp, any ideas? | 22:12 |
| ubuntu | I may just deal without persistence since this is only temporary until I get a new hard drive anyways. | 22:12 |
| vit_o | Draconicus, can I check it first? how? | 22:12 |
| ubuntu | Thanks though. | 22:12 |
| Draconicus | vit_o: "sudo apt-get install mesautils", then "glxinfo | grep direct" | 22:12 |
| vit_o | Draconicus, but i think i can, because it is just a 'problem' now. i had unity for moths | 22:13 |
| OsamaObama | How do I fix my audio card to work? I get the msg "No suitable mixer element found." when I open Audacious. | 22:13 |

| OsamaObama | Anyone good with sound? | 22:16 |
| Draconicus | vit_o: That's... That's weird. | 22:16 |
| pfifo | tanath, what exactly were you doing when this happened? | 22:17 |
| Draconicus | vit_o: Looks like you managd to lose your libGL somewhere. That would probably be why compiz can't run. Needs OpenGL. | 22:17 |
| vit_o | Draconicus, yeh. i've experienced it! sigh | 22:17 |
| tanath | pfifo, installing those packages | 22:17 |
| vit_o | Draconicus, please! help me! ... How can i get it? | 22:17 |
| pfifo | tanath, how were you installing? | 22:18 |
| Draconicus | vit_o: Uhm. I'm trying to figure that out. I think maybe sudo apt-get install --reinstall compiz will force any dependencies | 22:18 |
| KBentley57 | ubuntu_user_007, are you still running the system? | 22:18 |
| tanath | there was another package before i tried to install that did the same thing. tried to create a new user and asked for a password and failed like that. i forget which it was, but they do it every time | 22:18 |
| tanath | pfifo, oh, it was colord | 22:18 |
| tanath | pfifo, happened on upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. these packages were installed via aptitude | 22:19 |
| tanath | pfifo, i removed colord without issue and forgot about it, but now i'm trying to install those packages and same issue | 22:19 |
| pfifo | tanath, are any of these packages from a PPA? | 22:20 |
| tanath | pfifo, only seems to affect packages that create new users. won't accept any passwords | 22:20 |

| vit_o | vit_o, uhmm.... good! how? | 22:21 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o is it nvidia? | 22:21 |
| tanath | pfifo, it occurs to me that if it's anything that creates a new user then the bug is elsewhere. help me track it down? | 22:22 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, no, it is ATI | 22:22 |
| KBentley57 | tanath, that will allow the group read and write access, right? | 22:22 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o reinstall fglrx (i think) :-) | 22:22 |
| tanath | KBentley57, yep | 22:22 |
| pfifo | tanath, run `sudo dpkg -r <package>` for both opennebula-common and opennebula-sunstone | 22:23 |
| Draconicus | haz3lnut vit_o - fglrx is no longer maintained. You should use the open source deiver. ATI's drives rarely work anymore | 22:23 |

| OsamaObama | KBentley57: I have that package, of course. I have no clue why the sound does not work. Ideas? lspci show me "Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! Game Port (rev 07)". "No suitable mixer element found." is a msg I retrive when I open Audacious | 22:29 |

| haz3lnut | vit_o: no, I mean does compiz still fail to see the library | 22:41 |

| pfifo | tanath, no problem there | 22:41 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: the updatedb was for locate | 22:41 |
| tanath | pfifo, would be nice if it properly cleaned up after itself though | 22:41 |
| KBentley57 | OsamaObama, its cool. Your motherboard has a built in sound device. Those ports are on the io panel of the motherboard. Does your computer have those? | 22:42 |
| TimeKilla | From the docs "you must use the smbpassword program (typically located in /usr/local/samba/bin/" its not so any idea where i will find it? | 22:42 |
| KBentley57 | TimeKilla, do a locate smbpassword, or whereis smbpassword | 22:42 |
| CFHowlett_ | mrfunk sorry, then. IDK enough about ports to provide meaningful help | 22:42 |
| TimeKilla | KBentley57, Ty ill try that | 22:42 |
| pfifo | tanath, but did the install work? | 22:42 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, so have to type sudo apt-get install mesa-utils right? sorry i don't remeber | 22:42 |
| OsamaObama | KBentley57: Yes, but they does not play anything either. | 22:42 |
| almoxarife | mrfunk: what app, what port? | 22:43 |
| tanath | pfifo, well, it's back at the password prompt now | 22:43 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: you already installed the mesa-utils | 22:43 |
| KBentley57 | OsamaObama, thanks, that was what I was wanting to know. Did you build your computer, or purchase it? | 22:43 |
| OsamaObama | KBentley57: I've tried both, but the error msgs should neitherless show depending which card the cable is plugged to. | 22:43 |
| OsamaObama | KBentley57: A friend gave it to me so I don't know. | 22:43 |

| tanath | pfifo, tried giving it a password, and we're back at authentication failure | 22:43 |
| TimeKilla | is there a flag i need to add as it just displays smbpassword with out any details of dir or that | 22:44 |
| OsamaObama | KBentley57: Still does not really matter. | 22:44 |
| mrfunk | almoxarife: its a game i play, warcraft 3 frozen throne, port 6112 and 6113 | 22:44 |
| KBentley57 | OsamaObama, what does the output of "lsmod | grep snd" look like | 22:44 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, ok. same answer. no such file or directory | 22:44 |
| tanath | pfifo, ugh. shouldn't have to do that... but i'll give it a shot | 22:44 |
| OsamaObama | KBentley57: Hold. | 22:44 |
| almoxarife | mrfunk: the app needs the ports open? | 22:44 |
| mrfunk | almoxarife: yes it does | 22:44 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: then yes, sudo apt-get install mesa-utils | 22:44 |
| almoxarife | mrfunk: who controls your router/firewall? | 22:44 |
| tanath | pfifo, hrm, well that worked | 22:45 |
| mrfunk | almoxarife: well as far as i know i use a modem and the firewall is disabled | 22:45 |
| lawltoad | i don't think my nautilus is reading from gconf correctly | 22:45 |
| pfifo | tanath, something is amiss here, no install script should be using su in a manner that requires a password | 22:45 |
| tanath | pfifo, so now, why was it failing to do that itself. | 22:46 |
| tanath | pfifo, mm | 22:46 |
| almoxarife | mrfunk: your app needs the ports open, you need to open them at the firewall/router | 22:46 |
| OsamaObama | KBentley57: Here's the full log: http://pastebin.com/kWbSZrE4 | 22:46 |
| tanath | pfifo, also, i always get asked to unlock my keyring on login after upgrade even though the pass is the same and i don't autologin | 22:46 |
| pfifo | tanath, myguess is that it changes to oneadmin, and then as oneadmin it runs 'su oneadmin' again causing it to ask for a password | 22:46 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, i don't know why it says 0 update 0 install and 5 not updated (sorry for bad translation) | 22:46 |
| mrfunk | almoxarife: i know, they are open and some people can join but 90% cannot | 22:47 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: and you got no glxgears? | 22:47 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: or glxinfo? | 22:47 |
| pfifo | tanath, it would be nice if you could reproduce this error, for the bug report, I tried but couldnt, but this should be reported either way | 22:48 |
| KBentley57 | OsamaObama, i don't see any module related to the creative sound card being loaded. Have you previously tried to compile the modules for them, or compiled your own kernel? | 22:48 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, No such file or directory. :( | 22:48 |
| KBentley57 | OsamaObama, be back in a few minutes, | 22:48 |
| mrfunk | almoxarife: the console says "fixme:winsock:WS2_async_accept AcceptEx accepting socket closed but request was not cancelled" i think if the ports were permanently open it would fix this issue | 22:48 |
| OsamaObama | KBentley57: Ok, thanks. | 22:48 |
| tanath | pfifo, if i del the user and purge i prolly could reproduce it | 22:48 |

| dlentz | google fu | 22:50 |
| OsamaObama | zykotick9: Yeah. | 22:50 |
| mrfunk | almoxarife: its okay, thank you, i think i should use iptables or something | 22:50 |
| tanath | mrfunk, ufw is handy for that | 22:50 |
| pfifo | tanath, yeah upgrading can cause some unusual problems at times, hopefully the maintainer will know what happened even without being able to reproduce it | 22:51 |
| OsamaObama | dlentz, zykotick9: Should I modprobe something? | 22:51 |
| almoxarife | mrfunk: iptables will not open ports on a router/firewall | 22:51 |

| totesmuhgoats | what is the recommended way to remove a ppa? | 23:11 |
| CFHowlett_ | totesmuhgoats greetings | 23:11 |
| itaylor57 | !ppa-remove | totesmuhgoats | 23:11 |
| zykotick9 | !ppa-purge | totesmuhgoats | 23:11 |
| ubottu | totesmuhgoats: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 23:11 |
| totesmuhgoats | ah, thanks | 23:12 |
| totesmuhgoats | i found this online, but it was from the time of ubuntu 9.10 and needed to be installed seperately | 23:12 |
| totesmuhgoats | i thought there might be a more first party solution | 23:12 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, dlentz that what i did guys :) and it answer: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/889967/ | 23:12 |

| DJ | Danny, msg the bot for FUn, usage | 23:14 |
| quebre | haz3lnut: maybe all he needs is just 'touch /var/lib/libGL.so.1' and problem solved, it's about missing file after all | 23:14 |

| dlentz | quebre, it's not /var/lib... | 23:16 |
| quebre | dlentz: lol | 23:16 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: so it apparetnly needs specific: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 | 23:16 |

| vit_o | ok 30 sec. i'm back | 23:27 |
| totesmuhgoats | CFHowlett_: it mentioned that it installed a key succesfully when I did add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa | 23:27 |

| CFHowlett_ | totesmuhgoats per xmbc.org, svn repo is NOT installed automatically. must be added. see: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_on_Ubuntu/HOW-TO_1 | 23:29 |

| Aerosonic | zykotick9: Hmm... | 23:36 |
| quebre | mrfunk: you don't even need these rules because your policy is set to ACCEPT, there must be something on your way that's blocking your ports, it's either your modem or your ISP, peroid | 23:37 |
| dlentz | oh, well then you have the latest drivers (unless something is being fixed in upcoming 3.3 kernel) | 23:37 |
| quebre | mrfunk: make sure your friends have your actual IP, it's dynamic i guess | 23:37 |
| mrfunk | quebre: damn man, im hosting the games in a public server so anyone can see the game and join, its weird that people are not able to join, i could see this messages from the console | 23:38 |

| quebre | mrfunk: you run dedicated game server with _dynamic_ ip ? | 23:39 |

| Aerosonic | KM0201: It's a Live CD. | 23:39 |
| KM0201 | oh it's a live cd?.. you have sudo rights, unless its ubuntu 5.10 | 23:39 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, well, i put ubuntu(3d) but it log in with unity2d anyway | 23:39 |
| Aerosonic | Flumpy: It's a 10.10 | 23:39 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: be very careful if you change things with ccsm, it can break unity badly. Some settings are just not supported. | 23:39 |
| KM0201 | Aerosonic: there's no way. | 23:39 |
| Daekdroom | vit_o, then your video card (or its driver) might not support Unity. | 23:39 |

| badASSlol | dlentz: any other ideas because it looks like it's working but i cannot conenct my home network and detect anyother however it seems like everything is ok | 23:40 |
| Flumpy | Aerosonic: Are you using persistence? Someone could have made a root password and it would still be there. | 23:40 |
| Daekdroom | Aerosonic, try sudo -i | 23:40 |
| KBentley57 | vito, can you run the problem by me again? | 23:41 |
| haz3lnut | KBentley57: tryng to help vit_o with 3d unity. | 23:41 |
| Aerosonic | Daekdroom: Already tried. Still the same. | 23:41 |
| Aerosonic | Flumpy: There shouldn't be a root password. It's a live image off of the Ubuntu website. | 23:41 |
| vit_o | Daekdroom, i think my video card is ok. i change something with ccsm as haz3lnut said. :( | 23:41 |
| quebre | mrfunk: maybe your isp changed some security stuff recently, call them and ask | 23:41 |
| Daekdroom | vit_o, then run 'unity --reset' in a terminal. | 23:41 |
| Aerosonic | The command cannot be completed, the requirements that the user=master | 23:41 |
| vit_o | Daekdroom, i say so because it is just a new problem | 23:42 |
| Aerosonic | If I sudo, user=user. Needs user=master | 23:42 |
| Flumpy | Aerosonic: Right, but if it's a USB stick then you can enable persistence to save changes. | 23:42 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: but we just wiped all your compiz settings. so it should have started clean | 23:42 |
| dlentz | vit_o, use your favorite text editor to open /var/log/Xorg.0.log and pastebin the contense | 23:42 |
| Aerosonic | Flumpy: Like I mentioned above, it's a Live CD. | 23:42 |
| vit_o | unity --reset or not? | 23:42 |
| mrfunk | quebre: well im in uruguay and my isp actually encourages file sharing and such | 23:43 |
| dlentz | badASSlol, i don't know what else to suggest | 23:43 |
| lidenbrock | hi, how do I use ext3grep to recover a file I have deleted by mistake? | 23:43 |
| Aerosonic | Jesus fuck I found it. | 23:43 |
| Aerosonic | sudo su - | 23:43 |
| mrfunk | quebre: maybe i could change the ports the game uses? instead of 6112 and 6113 try some others? | 23:43 |
| Flumpy | Aerosonic: Mmk, I would try making another one, then. Because there is no reason for there to be a root password. | 23:43 |
| Aerosonic | Password was 'su' | 23:43 |
| Aerosonic | That's fucked up. | 23:43 |
| quebre | mrfunk: sure | 23:43 |

| game16 | Can anyone explain why USB is faster than Ps/2, even though they're both wired, serial connections? | 23:44 |
| Daekdroom | vit_o, just do it. All that will happen is that any change you made in CCSM will be lost. | 23:44 |
| quebre | mrfunk: was it ppp0 ? with your ip in ifconfig ? | 23:45 |
| vit_o | dlentz, this is for you http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/890003/ | 23:45 |

| almoxarife | mrfunk: you said 'some' players could get to your public server, were those some using 'udp'? | 23:48 |
| Daekdroom | vit_o, definitely a video driver issue | 23:48 |
| st1 | if a process has memory leak, would it show up in system monitor or top? | 23:49 |
| quebre | st1: yes | 23:49 |
| dlentz | vit_o, i see this in log: (II) RADEON(0): No DRI yet on Evergreen | 23:49 |
| vit_o | Daekdroom, what do you suggest? :) | 23:50 |
| dlentz | but i thought ubuntu 11.10 supported 3d on radeonhd 5000 | 23:50 |
| st1 | quebre: if i close that program would the memory be freed up then? | 23:50 |
| quebre | st1: immediately | 23:50 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: you don;t wanna hear this, but I suggest an nvidia card. | 23:50 |
| vit_o | dlentz, i do not understand what you mean. :( | 23:50 |
| quebre | vit_o: don't worry, me neither | 23:51 |
| quebre | [; | 23:51 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, exactly, i do not want! xD | 23:51 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: lol :D | 23:51 |
| dlentz | so vit_o, have you tried the proprietary ati driver yet? | 23:51 |
| st1 | but I don't have any process using up to 100mb, and total usage is still 1.1g right now | 23:51 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, less than 1 year almost 1000 euro notebook man! | 23:51 |
| quebre | doing that, he might as well just install windows but that's not the point | 23:51 |
| quebre | the point is, you dont switch the card to nvidia just coz you can't solve it | 23:52 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: ouch | 23:52 |
| vit_o | dlentz, actually not! | 23:52 |
| quebre | you try as long as you need to fix it | 23:52 |
| === DrGarme is now known as drgarme | ||
| quebre | ;) | 23:52 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: gotta make it work then | 23:52 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: buy from system 76 next time. great support. | 23:52 |
| quebre | drivers for some models from ati are hardcore to set up | 23:52 |
| quebre | in some cases | 23:53 |
| quebre | but it's doable ;) | 23:53 |
| mrfunk | quebre: sorry man, my sister came with her bf and i had to socialize >.> im getting back to i | 23:53 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, well i will. This was a gift | 23:53 |
| sammmy | I tried both apache2 -k restart and sudo apache2 -k restart and get "bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}". What gives? | 23:53 |
| quebre | mrfunk: scroll up | 23:53 |
| quebre | ;] | 23:53 |
| haz3lnut | vit_o: I'll let the ati experts help you out from here. good luck. | 23:54 |
| IWIllNotChange | Where would the log files be for it? For some reason if I remove postfix it goes part way through the install then takes me back to root, and if I leave postfix it just crashes at 0 and sends me straight back to root. So either anyone have a solution, or where does tasksel keep log files. | 23:54 |
| IWIllNotChange | "sudo tasksel install mail-server crash" | 23:54 |
| vit_o | haz3lnut, thank you! | 23:54 |
| quebre | linux noobs want only to play games | 23:55 |
| quebre | but then they need to fix this and that in order to play, often it take days and once it's done these noobs realize that they're not that noob anymore and gaming stops being main purpose ;) | 23:56 |
| vit_o | dlentz, what i do not understand is: why just now this problem? i've 3d since october with no problem. last week i changed something with ccsm and now i'm f**** | 23:56 |
| lidenbrock | hi, how do I use ext3grep to recover a file I have deleted by mistake? | 23:56 |
| dlentz | vit_o, i'm stumped too since i thought radeonhd 5k had opne-source 3d support | 23:57 |
| quebre | lidenbrock: http://carlo17.home.xs4all.nl/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 23:57 |
| IWIllNotChange | Can anyone answer this lol >.< I'm stuck. http://askubuntu.com/questions/114093/sudo-tasksel-install-mail-server-crash | 23:57 |
| 18WAAETS4 | how i can do a copy of entere partition on the external HD? | 23:57 |
| quebre | 18WAAETS4: cat /dev/sda1 > /dev/sdb1 | 23:58 |
| quebre | 18WAAETS4: just an example | 23:58 |
| vit_o | dlentz, i would try first to reset with ubuntu tweak. what do you think? | 23:58 |
| mrfunk | quebre: oh shit, according to this website: http://findports.com/document.php?tag=warcraft-iii-the-frozen-throne i have to open the Port range: 6113 - 6119 Protocol: TCP/UDP | 23:58 |
