| bekor | hello anyone available for a question? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| davide_at_debian | hi bekor , what's up | 00:01 |
| _Marcus | !ask | bekor | 00:02 |
| ubottu | bekor: 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 | 00:02 |
| bekor | hi, i am wondering how to get rid of issues like not being able to shut some window applications sometime ,like the issue of not having an x or a minmize sign.i am using 11.10 and cairo dock | 00:03 |
| davide_at_debian | what program in particular? | 00:04 |
| bekor | well ok like for instance you have banshee running,you open the equalizer and their is no way to shut it off | 00:05 |
| bekor | i mean closing the window | 00:06 |
| bekor | i have had to restart because of not seeing a way to close windows sometimes | 00:06 |
| davide_at_debian | well, alt+f4 is a general solution, but anyway for banshee in particular there could be an hidden close button. | 00:06 |
| davide_at_debian | Always, you can grep for the program's pid or issue a "pkill banshee" in extreme case | 00:07 |
| bekor | thanks dacide | 00:07 |
| bekor | i mean davide | 00:07 |
| nibbler_ | davide_at_debian, bekor: xkill is the better choice for sure, if you see the window | 00:07 |
| AgamemnonZ | bekor: Was your main Banshee window maximized? | 00:07 |
| bekor | no i could not even maximize by the way what is x kill? | 00:08 |
| bekor | what i am saying is how do i close it when i see no x? | 00:08 |
| davide_at_debian | run it on terminal.. you'll see skull & bones to kill windows | 00:09 |
| Dulak | bekor: alt-f4 with the window active is the same as the X | 00:09 |
| bekor | but why would i have to that is my point | 00:09 |
| ghostshadow_ | hi | 00:09 |
| bekor | thanks dulak | 00:10 |
| dadf | xkill is pretty cool- and is built into almost everything | 00:10 |
| === dadf is now known as haylo | ||
| davide_at_debian | I don't know why you have too. maybe programs aren't made to be closed? | 00:10 |
| bekor | is anyone using the newest beta?are their less problems with closing windows? | 00:10 |
| CFHowlett_ | bekor for beta support go to #ubuntu+1 | 00:11 |

| Viking667 | I've got a question. I'm updating the xapian database, and it's taken about four hours so far...the machine is a laptop, and has 512Mb. | 00:11 |
| CFHowlett_ | Viking667 what version of ubuntu | 00:12 |
| Viking667 | 11.10 | 00:12 |
| Viking667 | ouch. I just realised the laptop's not running ubuntu... | 00:12 |
| Viking667 | sorry | 00:12 |
| gdea73 | How do I adjust the scrolling speed in Ubuntu 10.10? | 00:15 |
| gdea73 | I am using two-finger scrolling on my laptop's touchpad, and even Pointing Devices won't allow me to change the speed unless side-scrolling is enabled, which I don't want. | 00:16 |
| AgamemnonZ | I'll try this question once more. Will 11.10 update LibreOffice to 3.5 or stay with 3.4? If going to 3.5, where can I see when this will approximately happen? | 00:17 |
| gdea73 | wow is there really NO way to adjust it? | 00:17 |
| gdea73 | AgamemnonZ: sorry I've got no idea... :/ | 00:18 |
| jeagle | How do I solve this problem in Ghostscript? :( "Substituting font Times-Roman for Helvetica-Condensed-Black. Can't find (or can't open) font file /usr/share/ghostscript/9.04/Resource/Font/Times-Roman." | 00:18 |
| CFHowlett_ | AgamemnonZ download 3.5.1 from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ then sudo dpkg -i libreoffice.deb to install | 00:18 |
| davide_at_debian | gdea73: there are lots of ways. the simplest are using menus on your gnome | 00:18 |
| gdea73 | davide_at_debian: What do you mean, using "menus"? | 00:19 |
| ghostshadow_ | .xchat2/budus.so | 00:19 |
| davide_at_debian | but if you got synaptics, you have white paper on your Xconfigs | 00:19 |
| gdea73 | I haven't found a way to edit the scrolling speed, with GUI or otherwise, in Gnome 2. That's why I was asking, and Opera appears to use Gnome's settings which I don't know how to change. | 00:19 |
| gdea73 | I have a Synaptics touchpad, true, though I'm afraid I don't understand what you're talking about :( | 00:20 |
| davide_at_debian | when I used gnome, it had a "mouse" option under the settings menu | 00:20 |
| AgamemnonZ | CFHowlett_: I know how to install 3.5 (or use the ppa), but I don't want to use that method as I try to help someone else who needs some 3.5 functionality, but I don't want this person to work with unsupported software | 00:20 |
| gdea73 | Yes, mine does as well. I have both "mouse" and "pointing devices," but neither will allow me to adjust the scroll speed. | 00:20 |
| davide_at_debian | gdea73: if you have synaptics I can give you a hint | 00:21 |
| gdea73 | davide_at_debian: anything remotely resembling a hint, would be great :P | 00:21 |
| AgamemnonZ | CFHowlett_: So I was trying to find out if and when 3.5 will be released through the normal update channels | 00:21 |
| gdea73 | I do have a Synaptics touchpad... | 00:21 |
| CFHowlett_ | AgamemnonZ understood. | 00:22 |
| === eon is now known as Guest84077 | ||
| CFHowlett_ | sorry but IDK as I'm on 10.04 | 00:22 |
| === Guest84077 is now known as eon01 | ||
| AgamemnonZ | CFHowlett_: ok thx :) | 00:22 |
| davide_at_debian | 1 year ago I filled my /etc/X11/xorg.conf with: | 00:22 |
| davide_at_debian | Section "InputDevice" | 00:23 |
| davide_at_debian | Identifier "Touchpad" | 00:23 |
| davide_at_debian | Driver "synaptics" | 00:23 |
| davide_at_debian | Option "Name" "Touchpad" | 00:23 |
| davide_at_debian | Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" | 00:23 |
| FloodBot1 | davide_at_debian: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:23 |
| davide_at_debian | Option "TapButton1" "1" | 00:23 |
| Jacruth | hi there, how could I now which dev is my pendrive? | 00:24 |
| gdea73 | davide_at_debian: what exactly does that do, though? I didn't think it would allow me to adjust the scrolling speed, unless that's part of what you were saying... | 00:24 |
| CFHowlett_ | AgamemnonZ try apt-cache policy libreoffice to identify if it's in the stream. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade might pul lit in. | 00:24 |
| abdelrahman | is there anyway to rollback updates install .. my system has become unstable | 00:24 |
| gdea73 | Jacruth: I think Disk Utility would list it. | 00:24 |
| Jacruth | gde33, what do you mean, fdisk? | 00:24 |
| gde33 | wrong person ;) | 00:25 |
| gdea73 | In Ubuntu, there's an application called Disk Utility listed under System -> Administration | 00:25 |
| Jacruth | sorry gde33 | 00:25 |
| gdea73 | haha, yeah we happened to have similar nicks ;) | 00:25 |
| davide_at_debian | gdea73: yes it allows you to change scloll speed with the right entries | 00:25 |
| gdea73 | anyway, I'm not sure but I think Disk Utility shows you the mountpoint. | 00:25 |
| gdea73 | are USB flash drives even recognized as /dev/sdX? ah well I suppose Disk Utility would tell you either way | 00:26 |
| gdea73 | davide_at_debian: alright I'll have to try that then, thanks. Must I reboot to effect the changes? | 00:26 |
| davide_at_debian | just look for those in the manual. it cames bundled with the synaptics .deb | 00:26 |
| davide_at_debian | no reboot, just a restart of X | 00:26 |
| AgamemnonZ | CFHowlett_: I think it is not in the stream: http://paste.ubuntu.com/891540/ | 00:27 |
| gdea73 | davide_at_debian: okay, I entered the changes and I'll restart X with ctrl + alt + bksp | 00:28 |
| CFHowlett_ | AgamemnonZ not yet at least. wouldn't be surprised to see it in12.04 | 00:28 |
| gdea73 | however does the TouchButton 1 enable tap-to-click, because I'd rather that be off. | 00:28 |
| gdea73 | but alright, I'll try | 00:28 |
| davide_at_debian | nono wait | 00:28 |
| davide_at_debian | it was only an example | 00:28 |
| davide_at_debian | that is THE place | 00:28 |
| Jacruth | gdea73, I'll try to format a sd card using the disk utility, do you know if Fat option is Fat16? COuld it be Fat32? | 00:28 |
| davide_at_debian | but the exact options are to look in the manual | 00:28 |
| shishire | I'm trying to take an already existing ubuntu 10.04 server install on a virtual machine, and trim down the size so that I can ship it as a vm appliance. Google has been unhelpful in providing a list of packages/sets of things I can uninstall if I'm not using them. My system only really needs a lamp stack. | 00:29 |
| === max is now known as Guest61138 | ||
| davide_at_debian | let me see if i can retrive you a manual.. | 00:29 |
| shishire | Does anyone know of such a list? | 00:29 |
| gdea73 | davide_at_debian: I entered those lines into xorg.conf but I still have no option for scrolling speed in mouse preferences... | 00:29 |
| davide_at_debian | gdea73: of course, menus arent affected by that, only effective hardware parameters | 00:30 |
| davide_at_debian | you have to replace the section's content with your custom options, which you can find at: | 00:31 |
| davide_at_debian | gdea73: http://duckduckgo.com/ , and type "!man synaptics" in the search engine to get the manual | 00:31 |
| gdea73 | davide_at_debian: alright thanks. | 00:32 |
| quiescens | shishire: you can probably remove most things but it would probably be best to keep all the packages that show up in: tasksel --task-packages minimal | 00:34 |
| shishire | quiescens: thank you, that should give me a list of things to be wary of removing | 00:35 |

| davide_at_debian | mcruz: what kind of script are ypu trying to run? | 00:53 |
| nathan_ | OerHeks, yes it has a switch to hop between integrated and discrete. | 00:54 |
| mcruz | a simple one, the scrip execute the cat command line and redirect the output to /etc/resolv.conf | 00:54 |
| OerHeks | nathan_, check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee & the channel #Bumblebee | 00:54 |
| nathan_ | OerHeks, it's not NVIDIA :( It's an ATI card. | 00:54 |
| OerHeks | nathan_, i am not sure ati is optimus too | 00:55 |
| davide_at_debian | mcruz: so you just have to append the command into the rc.local file | 00:55 |
| nathan_ | OerHeks, it's not Optimus | 00:55 |
| mcruz | i've try that but didnt work | 00:56 |
| dlentz | OerHeks, the generic term is 'hybrid graphics' | 00:56 |
| davide_at_debian | can you paste the cat here? | 00:56 |
| dlentz | optimus is nvidia's cute name for hybrid graphics | 00:56 |
| OerHeks | oke, then see the url from log https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics | 00:56 |
| mcruz | /bin/cat /home/mcruz/opendns >> /etc/resolv.conf | 00:56 |
| nathan_ | OerHeks, that only works if the card has a hardware mux, but I don't believe mine does. | 00:58 |
| davide_at_debian | mcruz: ok: open the rc.local and insert, just before the exit 0, echo -e "208.67.222.222 \n 208.67.220.220" > /etc/resolv.conf | 00:58 |

| ilyekkakai | help me! nvidia drivers are activated but not in use???? | 02:29 |
| haz3lnut | ilyekkakai: you sure that's not a known bug? | 02:30 |
| ghostconn | what type of video vard are you using? | 02:30 |
| ghostconn | go to the additional drivers menu and try the (recommended) driver for you're card | 02:31 |
| ssfdre38 | ilyekkakai, look for NVIDIA X Server Settings as that will be your display manager for your video card | 02:31 |

| Sygoth | . | 02:33 |
| ssfdre38 | ilyekkakai, follow what i said to do cause i use Nvidia on my tower and it will work | 02:33 |
| ghostconn | ok... go to the additional drivers menu and you should have two options with two different of which to install. Install the one you don't have and reboot | 02:34 |
| m1chael | i'm trying to burn a mpg to dvd using growisofs... the dvd skips in a dvd player, otherwise it plays fine. anyone have any suggestions for me? | 02:34 |
| ghostconn | I had the same issue with many ati cards and i choose the recommended driver and that was never the case lol | 02:34 |
| ilyekkakai | ssfdre38, what do you want me to do? Nvidia X Server setting runs, but it still says driver is not in use. And visual effects are still not available. | 02:35 |
| ilyekkakai | ghostconn, The only other option I have for additional drivers is version 173. I will try that | 02:35 |
| ssfdre38 | ilyekkakai, yea install the post-release drivers | 02:35 |

| ilyekkakai | ghostconn, ssfdre38 now activated version 173 driver from additional hardware... same issue. "not in use" and no option for visual effects. How do I install neauvou (whatever it's called) opensource driver again? At least it worked. | 02:41 |

| phraktal77 | I've had a strange problem today. I was able to ping an IP but I was unable to either do an http request against the same IP or open a mysql connection to it | 02:41 |
| phraktal77 | People around me on the same network were able to connect | 02:42 |
| phraktal77 | my linux-hostile CTO told me it's cause of my "stupid" ubuntu... ;( | 02:43 |
| phraktal77 | not sure what to do about it | 02:43 |
| donsd | If I run mplayer from command line, I see some info and can quit by typing q. | 02:44 |
| davide_at_debian | phraktal77: it was a wise observation | 02:44 |
| phraktal77 | I'm suspecting it's some routing problem, but can't put my finger on it. It's the latest ubuntu distribution | 02:44 |
| donsd | If I run mplayer in crontab, the mp3 plays, but I do not see anything and cannot quit. | 02:45 |
| ilyekkakai | ghostconn, I know. It is only the video card in this PC which doesn't like nvidia drivers. | 02:45 |
| donsd | Is there something I can do in crontab so I can see mplayer output? | 02:45 |
| m4n_ | crontab for playing mp3? | 02:46 |
| davide_at_debian | phraktal77: you received a pong reply directly from that ip or from a midway router replying with some fail packet? | 02:46 |
| phraktal77 | no | 02:46 |
| donsd | m4n_, yes, as an alarm. | 02:46 |
| phraktal77 | davide_at_debian: ping was OK 100% | 02:46 |
| phraktal77 | davide_at_debian: and all other functionality of the internet was working | 02:46 |

| donsd | Just play mp3 at a set time. | 02:47 |
| phraktal77 | davide_at_debian: According to my genius CTO, this is a common problem with ubuntu. It "stalls" like that for sometime, and than magically starts to work | 02:47 |
| davide_at_debian | maybe you could run a wget from terminal to try get some useful output? | 02:47 |
| phraktal77 | it happens only between our office and our datacenter | 02:47 |
| phraktal77 | on many IPs | 02:48 |
| m4n | donsd: just kill the process once you are done playing, IMO | 02:48 |
| phraktal77 | I can try tomorrow when back at the office. Just need some plan, cause if I do not fix it, I'll look pretty stupid | 02:48 |
| davide_at_debian | what is the http reply message? | 02:48 |
| phraktal77 | davide_at_debian: Requests just hand until they timeout | 02:49 |
| phraktal77 | hang | 02:49 |
| phraktal77 | all of them | 02:49 |
| donsd | m4n, thanks for the feeback, but I want to see output. | 02:49 |
| phraktal77 | davide_at_debian: He said it happend before to other people in the office, but went away by itself... Apparently does not happen on fedora but I'm not sure if there is enough fedoras to know | 02:50 |
| CharminTheMoose | I'm compiling a 2.6.39 kernel with aufs support, but 'make modules_install' is only installing crypto modules, despite me doing a 'make allmodconfig'. | 02:50 |

| phraktal77 | davide_at_debian: It's ok when the hole office fights with viruses though :) | 02:51 |
| davide_at_debian | I don't think a fedora could solve it, but you could try install it on a virtual machine just to hope | 02:51 |
| phraktal77 | I'm thinking it could be related to my IP | 02:51 |
| phraktal77 | I was trying to change it but DHCP would keep giving me the same | 02:51 |
| davide_at_debian | I may more probably be an office routing problen rather than one with your client | 02:52 |
| davide_at_debian | it* | 02:52 |
| phraktal77 | davide_at_debian: That's what I think too, apparently does not happen with windows boxes.. | 02:53 |
| phraktal77 | could it be some windows only "feature" on a router that linux can't handle ? | 02:53 |
| phraktal77 | it's really strange... anyways, basically wasted a day on this issue today | 02:54 |
| davide_at_debian | for a simple http request I don't think there could exist much special customization on windows side | 02:54 |
| davide_at_debian | but, just as a thrown guess, you could try to fake the windows user agent in your browser | 02:56 |

| MangoBoy | rxvt-unicode can it be the same as urxvt ? | 03:33 |
| apple_cat | MangoBoy: urxvt as in the terminal emulator? | 03:33 |
| MangoBoy | apple_cat, yes | 03:33 |

| a847 | @esca "bash: /etc/init.d/network: No such file or directory" | 03:34 |
| apple_cat | MangoBoy: iirc there are a few different versions, some supporting different fonts | 03:34 |
| MangoBoy | ok i understand urxvt-pearls has some good comandline copy paste with out mouse possibilitys | 03:34 |
| MangoBoy | what package would have that on ubuntu? | 03:35 |
| drounse | how do allow unsafe ports on chrome? | 03:35 |

| apple_cat | MangoBoy: I think by default urxvt-unicode will copy any text you select with the mouse | 03:39 |
| kttwow | is there anybody here that knows JAVA ? | 03:39 |
| esca | @jon-- type :iwconfig in console and you should have a setting call tx-power: | 03:39 |

| kttwow | Anyone here know a channel for java discuss ? | 03:40 |
| apple_cat | MangoBoy: A good command to learn is 'apt-cache search', for example 'apt-cache search urxvt' will show all packages available with urxvt in the name | 03:41 |
| MangoBoy | tmux were mentioned but also some goodies in urxvt-pearls | 03:41 |
| MangoBoy | I use synaptic but found non on urxvt, | 03:41 |
| MangoBoy | apple_cat, I use synaptic but found non on urxvt, | 03:41 |
| midnitemagus | Hey all, I was wondering if I could ask a question | 03:42 |
| apple_cat | MangoBoy: I totally understand, the only success i have had with urxvt and mousless copying is using hacks like piping the text you want copied into the clipboard (if you're wanting the copying done or available in X) | 03:42 |
| a847 | @esca, It just stopped, saying "failed to bring up wlan0" | 03:43 |

| apple_cat | MangoBoy: Well in the example I gave (ls | xclip -selection c -i) it will copy the output from ls into xclip, if there's a command to echo the urxvt buffer then you could pipe that into xclip and the two buffers will be synced | 03:58 |

| esca | @jon-- i know what the problem is... you have to do ifdown <interface name> then do those commands ... then ifup <interface name> | 03:59 |
| apple_cat | Lirth: iirc they both have some benefits and faults, which one you choose will depend on what you want. Probably though, twinview is what you want | 03:59 |

| beesKnees | what's up all you ubuntu pimps! | 04:07 |
| Jon-- | esca, Hold on I'll give it one more go | 04:07 |
| dsnyders | zivester_, the tail command with the follow option can show you the last lines of a file. | 04:08 |
| MangoBoy | apple_cat, so i could alias (| xclip -selection c -i) to copyx) and use that to pipe the outcome of tmux, or is the pastebuffer in a file or place i could cat ? | 04:08 |
| Jon-- | esca, Ubuntu 11.10 seems to give you about 5-10 seconds before deciding to be parental and automatically bringing your i/f back up for you -_-'. Didn't work even in that window though, see http://pastebin.com/d5vwJLDx | 04:09 |
| Jon-- | Used 17 as a test, just increasing +2 current. | 04:09 |
| zivester_ | sorry, this is for watching if a file has changed, not actually tailing its contents.... so in my case, watching a set of files... when one of those changes, execute `make` again... like this: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/blob/master/Makefile#L56-58 | 04:09 |

| ftg2 | is it possible to install from the iso without burning it? | 04:13 |
| * ftg2 looks around for cds :\\ | 04:13 | |
| apple_cat | MangoBoy: Yep an alias would be a good idea if you are going to use it a lot. For tmux there is 'tmux show-buffer' so pipe that into the xclip thing and the xclip and tmux pastebuffers will be synced | 04:13 |
| Jon-- | esca, No such luck, see http://pastebin.com/UtKTD2We The final ifconfig I did to show i/f still down and the commands were done fast enough | 04:14 |
| a847 | esca, 3.0.0-12-generic | 04:14 |
| sacarlson | ftg2: you can use a usb pen drive to boot/install or can also add an entry to a grub2 list if you already have grub2 installed | 04:14 |
| dsnyders | ftg2, You could use the Pendrive linux USB installer system. It would take a USB flash drive large enough to hold the ISO. | 04:15 |
| ftg2 | sacarlson: i am running 11.04 and would like to upgrade, but unfortunately the dist upgrade is failing. can't calculate upgrade or something :\ | 04:15 |

| dr_willis_ | travis_: i suggest avoiding wubi | 04:47 |
| ryzzan | :( | 04:47 |
| travis_ | why is that? i have a dedicated machine for 10.04 LTS, but why do you suggest being weary of wubi | 04:48 |
| dr_willis_ | short answer.. wubi is doggy doo doo... | 04:50 |
| Fyodorovna | travis_, read what the wubi designer says. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/ | 04:50 |
| dr_willis_ | id do vbox instead of wubi.... | 04:51 |
| dr_willis_ | less hassles | 04:51 |
| dr_willis_ | i keep hopeing wubi will get removed from the releases.... | 04:51 |
| aeon-ltd | heh if you have win7 installed as a 1st OS you may aswell get grub anyways especially if you're going to dabble in linux, win8 isn't going to be here anytime soon and if you maintain win7 well enough you most likely won't ever need to reinstall | 04:53 |
| travis_ | yeah, I don't dabble in linux, i use it lol. I do have a win7 box have already set up the dual boot. | 04:55 |
| travis_ | I was just wondering if wubi could run the LTS, as i've not looked at it enough myself. I want to start the rest of my family out on linux. | 04:56 |
| Jon-- | esca, Are you busy, should I seek help from someone else? | 04:56 |
| travis_ | and trying it out on wubi is much better than a live cd or usb | 04:56 |

| aeon-ltd | travis_: i think wubi can load any ISO if it's in the same directory as the .exe ; doing this from win of course | 04:57 |
| travis_ | ah, that makes sense | 04:57 |
| Jon-- | apple_cat, He was assisting me earlier with something and has been quiet for quite some time. It is curtsey imo to give him a chance to help again or to pass it off to someone else :P | 04:57 |

| Jon-- | Issue: can't set txpower using iwconfig on my card. Atheros AR928X. I used "sudo iw reg set BO" to allow it to go past legal limit (if that was the potential issue) as it's stuck at a low 15 dBm, which is causing me connection issues in my house. I am trying to set it to around 30. Here is some output when I try : http://pastebin.com/LFYhrWrq | 05:00 |
| Jon-- | apple_cat, satisfied? ^ :P | 05:00 |
| curiousx | are this the PPA for firefox 14 nightly? ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa | 05:01 |
| apple_cat | Jon--: Honestly an Atheros issue is not something that leaves me satisfied | 05:01 |
| curiousx | i know its daily but will install 14 now a day? | 05:02 |
| Jon-- | apple_cat, Then get on your wifi hax0r hat and give me a hand :P | 05:02 |
| curiousx | solved in #ubuntu-mozillateam ;) | 05:02 |
| dsnyders | How do I restart my screen saver? | 05:03 |
| Chipzzz | Jon--: what makes you think the card can deliver more than 15db? | 05:05 |
| Jon-- | Chipzzz, I see a few forum posts online with the same card that using these commands ^ got it up to around 25 safely. I can't get Internet in my room at all. Short of going out and blowing $45 for another router, dd-wrt setup in repeater mode (that's always fun and goes EXACTLY as planned :P)... I'd rather boost txpower. | 05:06 |
| apple_cat | Jon--: So the card supports multiple transmit powers? | 05:07 |
| FredwardTheGreat | psilipharm | 05:07 |
| Jon-- | apple_cat, I am not sure, the fact that someone else was able to adjust it using iwconfig suggest so. | 05:08 |
| PsiliPharm | Yup | 05:09 |
| apple_cat | Jon--: Source? | 05:09 |
| Jon-- | apple_cat, Perhaps not... I see here someone recommending to boost it, but no reply back that it worked. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1814516.html | 05:09 |
| Jon-- | That was boosting his other wlan0 card, not the Atheros one. | 05:10 |
| Chipzzz | Jon--: Here's something that might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1814516 | 05:10 |
| Chipzzz | lol... beat me to it! | 05:10 |
| Jon-- | :) | 05:10 |
| Chipzzz | according to #4, you should be able to get more power from it | 05:10 |
| Jon-- | Chipzzz, That's exactly the commands I am running. I have a suspicion it may be that my card DOESN'T support this, and he was referring to the guys other card (the AWUS036H) | 05:11 |
| apple_cat | Jon--: So the actual problem is that you have bad reception? Even if it were possible, I don't think increasing the wlan0 transmit power is going to make the connection any better unless you can increase the access points power too | 05:14 |
| dr_willis_ | need moar powar! actually i need to get a new wireless card this week also... | 05:14 |
| Jon-- | apple_cat, I might be able to boost the AP actually. It is running dd-wrt with pretty stock settings | 05:14 |
| dr_willis_ | anyone noticed a top 10 wireless cards fir linux list. wanting some list thats not going to show cards that i cant find in the stores. | 05:15 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||

| nathan_ | Can someone help me try with my laptop? It runs very hot in Ubuntu. I think it's gfx card related. | 05:19 |
| brianp1992 | is there a way to set up apt-get in freenas/freebsd? | 05:19 |
| flowerpot | In Windows, I could press ALT to access the menu at the top of a given window (file, edit, view, etc.). can i do this in ubuntu (gnome)? | 05:19 |
| apple_cat | brianp1992: freenas = FreeBSD, at-get = debian/linux -- http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/linux-users/article.html | 05:19 |
| dr_willis_ | freenas is usung bsd. so it has its own system | 05:19 |
| Chipzzz | Jon--: maybe rather than messing with the card's settings, you can beef up the antenna and get more transmit and receive gain | 05:19 |
| brianp1992 | but is it possible to set up the package managers and stuff so i can install . deb | 05:21 |
| flowerpot | got it, alt+f1 | 05:21 |
| dr_willis_ | brianp1992: ask in bsd | 05:21 |

| MestreLion | Hello Everyone! For pure curiosity: does anyone have a rough estimative of how large would be an Ubuntu system (let's say Oneiric) if one installed ALL available (non-conflicting) packages? | 05:34 |
| MestreLion | Just for the fun of having "the WHOLE Ubuntu installed".. what would it be? 150GB ? much more? much less? | 05:35 |
| FredwardTheGreat | jon--_ | 05:35 |
| Jon--_ | FredwardTheGreat, | 05:35 |
| apple_cat | MestreLion: As in... Every available package? | 05:35 |

| MestreLion | yes apple_cat ... every one of the 30.000+ available packages (minus the conflicting ones, of course) | 05:36 |
| edwardl | Hello everyone. I'm a total Ubuntu noob. I'm guessing I did something right | 05:36 |
| edwardl | :D | 05:36 |
| MestreLion | edwardl: you are here, so a step in the right direction :) | 05:36 |
| Jon-- | I've given up on iwconfig, I just set my AP to use 40MHz, thus blasting 3-4 channels away from all of my neighbours but pumping out nice bandwidth for me. | 05:36 |
| Jon-- | I feel like a Wifi facist. | 05:37 |
| MestreLion | apple_cat: any ballpark estimative on how large would such a system be? | 05:37 |
| edwardl | Thanks! I've been looking into Linux and Java programming in Ubuntu if anyone has any resources or tips. | 05:37 |
| brianp1992 | jon romoni? | 05:37 |
| mosno | edwardl, you might want to be a little more specific | 05:38 |
| edwardl | Gah. I don't even know | 05:38 |
| Chipzzz | Jon--: interesting card ;-) | 05:38 |
| apple_cat | MestreLion: So basically after installing every possible package you want to know the size of / ... Because the size of individual packages couldn't be counted as there are shared libraries | 05:38 |
| edwardl | I just started looking into it. I used to know a tiny bit about MS-Dos a long time ago and I'm just now getting back into anything | 05:38 |
| edwardl | basically just beginner programming. | 05:39 |
| MestreLion | edwardl: there is no such thing as "Linux" programming... as for Java, is pretty similar to java devepment in windows... you have the same compiles, the same IDEs (Eclipse, NEtbeans, etc) | 05:39 |
| edwardl | Ok | 05:39 |
| apple_cat | MestreLion: Do it and tell me the answer : p | 05:39 |
| FredwardTheGreat | tell me when this epson kitchen printer, tm-u200 on my card | 05:39 |
| edwardl | I have Eclipse | 05:39 |
| slikts | MestreLion: tell that to Linus | 05:39 |

| slikts | MestreLion: kernel programming is Linux programming | 05:39 |
| Black | Edwardl: you can start with gambas,its easy! | 05:39 |
| apple_cat | edwardl: Theres bash... That's probably the closest thing to linux programming compared to MS-dos | 05:39 |
| edwardl | Black: Yeah? | 05:39 |
| MestreLion | slikts: ok, granted... unless you want to hack the kernel itself... i think it wasn't his point :P | 05:39 |
| slikts | apple_cat: except bash even runs on win and elsewhere | 05:40 |
| edwardl | I'm running on VM ware with a Mac just now | 05:40 |
| apple_cat | slikts: Sure... But most books titled "linux programming" start with bash | 05:40 |
| slikts | apple_cat: well, so what :P | 05:40 |
| MestreLion | yes apple_cat ... the size of all *.debs may be a clue, but it is far from the true answer of "how large would / be after the install" | 05:40 |
| Black | Edwardl: kind of,if you know any thing about visual basic,then i can say its equaly easy | 05:41 |
| apple_cat | slikts: got to start somewhere ^_^ | 05:41 |
| edwardl | Black: I started to try to learn HTML5 when I couldn't build my own website, and that got me into Android, then I realized I didn't even know Java, so I downloaded Ubuntu and TADA!! here I am :D :D | 05:42 |
| FredwardTheGreat | m00se | 05:42 |
| edwardl | I don't actually know any of those things | 05:42 |
| edwardl | haha | 05:42 |
| edwardl | I'm just trying to get into it, and have NO idea where to start | 05:42 |
| MestreLion | edwardl: a golden hint if you want to properly learn Bash "programming" (the shell scripting in Ubuntu): go to #bash and ask for "Bash Guide" | 05:42 |
| slikts | edwardl: just don't get discouraged when you find out that picking up things like linux is a grueling process | 05:42 |
| m00se | FredwardTheGreat | 05:42 |
| FredwardTheGreat | fredwardthegreat | 05:42 |
| edwardl | slikts: yeah I've seen that. | 05:43 |
| slikts | edwardl: also, bash and shell scripting in general really sucks, learn something better like python | 05:43 |
| apple_cat | edwardl: haha I understand, I think learning the basics would involve Bash, the linux filesystem, then you could start with a programming/scripting language | 05:43 |
| edwardl | slikts: OK Python sounds really familiar | 05:43 |
| slikts | people who are hung up on shell scripting should go away | 05:43 |
| MestreLion | Python is a very popular programming language in Linux/Ubuntu... it's a great one | 05:44 |
| apple_cat | Although you aren't going to be using bash for making apps -- It is going to be the thing you use everyday when on ubuntu | 05:44 |
| edwardl | It seems like I need to work Terminal in Mac and Ubuntu to be kind of a power user, yes? What is a good resource to learn the Linux file system? | 05:44 |
| FredwardTheGreat | i'm running on vm ware with a mac just arent fast enough myself | 05:44 |
| slikts | in 2012 there are better options than effing bash | 05:44 |
| Black | Edwardl: dont wory i am sugesting this information keepin you in mind! Try the free tutorial far gambas! You wil see how easy it will be for you,then you slowly move to gcc | 05:44 |
| apple_cat | why the bash hate? | 05:44 |
| MestreLion | slikts: shell scripting is not "true" programming... but he will need it, and learn it properly, regardless of which language he picks | 05:44 |
| edwardl | I'm over here scribbling notes. I've found the right place!! | 05:45 |
| edwardl | Who knows a Mr. Mitnick | 05:45 |
| edwardl | ? | 05:45 |
| edwardl | jk | 05:45 |
| slikts | MestreLion: not necessarily, you can just do without shell scripts | 05:45 |
| FredwardTheGreat | anonymous | 05:45 |
| anonymous | hellow! | 05:46 |
| === anonymous is now known as Guest77822 | ||
| MestreLion | slikts: for example, he will eventually deal with DVCS, maybe git... or file handling... all those are heavily terminal-oriented... | 05:46 |

| FredwardTheGreat | why did all things, start anew? | 05:47 |
| edwardl | automation is something I would truly like to investigate | 05:48 |
| FredwardTheGreat | can't calculate upgrade or something i need higher | 05:48 |
| slikts | MestreLion: you still get better options, like fabscripts etc. | 05:48 |
| FredwardTheGreat | databases, etc. | 05:48 |
| MestreLion | slikts: I don't know what fabscripts are... I'll google for that, thanks for the hint | 05:49 |
| dr_willis_ | just dive in and start learning... | 05:49 |
| slikts | MestreLion: it's a python thing | 05:49 |
| MestreLion | so, let me rephrase my suggestion: edwardl , *IF* you eventually have to deal with Bash scripts/ing, please use the support at #bash and their amazing Bash Guide... avoild at all costs things like TLDP and random blog "tutorials" that you googled | 05:50 |
| apple_cat | fabscripts = fabulous scripts? | 05:51 |
| FredwardTheGreat | freenas = debian/linux -- it is a very sage saying. | 05:51 |

| FredwardTheGreat | however, if i stop the corner store every scrap of those ancient empires need to install a year ago and the pool pays you based on the brain won't not be that my working wife has all things, start anew? | 05:51 |

If it leads you into being a core developer for a Linux distribution, awesome. We can field any questions you might have but, really, go code something you WANT to do, and build your skills from there. :) | 05:55 |

| MestreLion | Jon--: I think the answer depends on how far from your familiar experience you want to go... simply speaking, Arch is much closer to Ubuntu than FreeBSD | 06:03 |
| npx | CFHowlett_, no it doesn't, it just allows you to address more than 4gb of ram | 06:03 |
| CFHowlett_ | npx ok - | 06:03 |
| Jon-- | I was more looking for a professional opinion, from anyone who is in IT and in the industry, what would you prefer to see a fresh graduate with experience in. | 06:04 |
| MestreLion | npx / CFHowlett_ 32bit with PAE also allows that | 06:04 |
| Jon-- | I don't have a personal bias in either direction. | 06:04 |
| CFHowlett_ | MestreLion ty | 06:04 |
| curiousx | CFHowlett_: 32 bits kernel with PAE can support 64 Gb ram | 06:04 |
| MestreLion | Jon--: if learning is your main focus, may I suggest Gentoo ? Or even LFS ? | 06:04 |
| npx | Anyway, can I install a 64-bit kernel and run this 32-bit userland? | 06:04 |
| MestreLion | 64? I thought it was less, like 16 | 06:05 |
| MestreLion | no npx | 06:05 |
| Jon-- | npx, I don't believe that you can. | 06:05 |
| MestreLion | npx: 32-bits apps and (and their libraries) have a completely different kernel ABI | 06:06 |
| curiousx | but you can install ia-32libs | 06:07 |
| MestreLion | npx: altough *some* 32 bits software can still work provided their libraries are in ia-32libs package | 06:07 |
| curiousx | and i sow installing programs forcing the architecture | 06:07 |
| MestreLion | but that is a case-by-case scenario, not a general solution | 06:08 |
| npx | meh, I'll just install i686 debian hah | 06:08 |
| curiousx | dpkg --force-archiquecture or some like taht =P | 06:08 |
| Jon-- | npx, Sounds like you'd be better off with visualization, depending what you are trying to do. | 06:08 |
| Jon-- | If it's just a quick test ^ | 06:08 |
| MestreLion | curiousx: whitout recompiling? | 06:08 |
| npx | no, I'm using debootstrap to install Debian from a Wubi installation of Ubuntu | 06:08 |
| curiousx | yep from .debs pakages | 06:08 |
| Jon-- | MestreLion, You shouldn't need to recompile to use that. | 06:08 |
| npx | I wanted to install debian testing amd64 | 06:08 |
| MestreLion | you are insane curiousx | 06:08 |
| curiousx | maybe =P | 06:09 |
| MestreLion | Jon--: to use .debs of compiled (say C) software from different archs? | 06:09 |
| Jon-- | MestreLion, To use --force-architecture on a deb package with dpkg. | 06:10 |
| MestreLion | curiousx: OR you are a very experienced and skilled hacker that knows how to deal with consequences... not the target audience of Ubuntu | 06:10 |
| curiousx | look at this MestreLion: http://i.imgur.com/KhVcU.png http://i.imgur.com/zYGBD.png http://goo.gl/KtCFj =P | 06:10 |
| Jon-- | Wait, Ubuntu isn't made for people who know what the hell they are doing!? :O. | 06:10 |
| MestreLion | Jon--: you CAN use that, of course... and it will install, ok. My point is what would the consequences be :P | 06:10 |
| * Jon-- Feels the sudden urge to jump ship. | 06:10 | |
| curiousx | nop i am a really noob, but i like to expermient =P | 06:11 |
| Jon-- | MestreLion, I don't know, why don't you try doing it in glibc ;) | 06:11 |
| MestreLion | great idea Jon-- !!! :D | 06:11 |
| npx | you can't use --force-architecture to spawn a chroot /bin/bash that's compiled for 64-bit when you're running a 32-bit kernel | 06:11 |
| MestreLion | Ubuntu is multiarch now, afterall ! :D | 06:11 |
| npx | i have to setup the 64-bit system to spawn TTYs and whatnot | 06:11 |
| Jon-- | npx, No, you can't, but hoping distributions aren't going to help you do that either. | 06:12 |
| npx | so meh, i'll just use the i386 build, it's all good | 06:12 |
| Jon-- | The kernel binaries are completely different. Use i386 or virtualize :P | 06:12 |
| npx | i'm not hopping distros, I'm just using ubuntu to install debian because this machine has no CD | 06:12 |
| MestreLion | npx: ... or use Virtualbox :P | 06:12 |
| curiousx | someones say that canonical will recommend 64 bits version in Oneric Ocelot, is that true? | 06:12 |
| CFHowlett_ | !64bit | 06:13 |
| ubottu | AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. Consider using 64-bit if your memory ussage exceeds 4GB. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit | 06:13 |

| curiousx | for all my live | 06:14 |
| Zenith77 | Apparently, this had been a bug a few months ago but it's listed as fixed | 06:14 |
| MestreLion | Zenith77: it was edited in 2011-10 | 06:14 |
| Zenith77 | so I don't know if it's reappeared or if I'm just doing something terribly wrong | 06:15 |
| nikhil_ | anyone here set up ntop on ubuntu? I'm having troubles with permissions and RRD directories (i'm not sure exactly these are my inferences). I'm also not sure exactly where the config file is | 06:15 |
| MestreLion | Zenith77: so it should be "Oneiric-aware" or pretty close | 06:15 |
| nikhil_ | *log file, that is | 06:15 |
| Zenith77 | hrm | 06:15 |
| Zenith77 | ok then | 06:15 |
| tuc | or should i start using ubutnu 12.04 beta | 06:15 |
| Jon-- | Zenith77, Nothing strikes me as not working on 9.1 if you wanted to install that instead. | 06:16 |
| curiousx | tuc: you want to install the lastest kernel? | 06:16 |
| tuc | yes | 06:16 |
| Jon-- | Just general postgres setup stuff. | 06:16 |
| tuc | curiosx: ues | 06:16 |
| Zenith77 | Jon--: that is what I have been installing | 06:16 |
| MestreLion | Jon--: think about this... Linus himself use Fedora (another "user-friendly" distro)... so yes, not being *forced* to tinker everything, everytime is a Good Thing(tm) | 06:16 |
| Zenith77 | doing apt-get install postgresql automatically resolves to postgresql-9.1 | 06:16 |

| Zenith77 | Well because, I'm seeing if this is some kind of "bug" in the package/setup or what. Like I said, the error I am running into was reported a few months ago, but it's listed as fixed | 06:24 |
| Zenith77 | I'm wondering if it popped back up again somehow | 06:24 |
| Jon-- | Zenith77, What bug? If you give more details people can help you. | 06:25 |
| MestreLion | tuc: if that is a modern laptop, you will surely benefit from a modern kernel. Try Precise's LiveCD and see if it still overheats | 06:25 |

| curiousx | yep natty, there was a problem with the battety upon 2.3.38 kernel or 2.3.39 i dont remember very well, but this issue was solved with 3.2 kernel version | 06:27 |
| Jon-- | Zenith77, You did an apt-get update before installing? | 06:27 |
| MestreLion | IF it does not everheat, THEN upgrade kernel | 06:27 |

| Zenith77 | Jon--: yes sir! | 06:27 |
| Zenith77 | ok | 06:27 |

| Squid1 | hello meerkat | 06:51 |
| MestreLion | chroot: for that one, google and software center searches are your friend... | 06:51 |
| goddard | do you need to do any tweaking to app armor on a desktop? | 06:51 |
| goddard | duckduckgo is also your friend | 06:51 |
| MestreLion | chroot: I'm sure there must be *any* face recog software available | 06:51 |
| emily_ | hey everyone, am I being a total idiot or can someone help me pls? | 06:51 |
| tuc | curiousx, what next | 06:51 |
| chroot | yes, you are right. | 06:51 |
| IMeerkat | Made the switch from Ubuntu recently. I was a Debian user :) | 06:51 |
| chroot | i am using google now. | 06:51 |
| emily_ | I can't access the wifi that the hotel that I'm staying at is providing, even though Ubuntu detects it | 06:52 |
| Squid1 | made half a switch to ubuntu | 06:52 |
| Squid1 | i like what i see so far | 06:52 |
| curiousx | tuc: in this order: http://paste.ubuntu.com/891827/ | 06:52 |
| Squid1 | gonna take some getting used to | 06:52 |
| IMeerkat | Emily use an ssh tunnel | 06:52 |
| emily_ | I am online via WinBlows atm | 06:52 |
| emily_ | ssh tunnel? how do I do that IMeerkat? | 06:52 |
| curiousx | you have to do double click on the .deb pakages in this order | 06:53 |
| curiousx | tuc: you have to do double click on the .deb pakages in this order | 06:53 |
| IMeerkat | Do you have a web server? | 06:53 |
| curiousx | this way will install 3.2.12 32 bits PAE | 06:53 |
| IMeerkat | Ie your own website? | 06:53 |
| emily_ | yeah IMeerkat it's the login page | 06:53 |
| curiousx | which recognize more than 4 gb ram | 06:53 |
| ome | How can I list partations with they are label ? | 06:54 |
| curiousx | do you copy : roger that =P xD | 06:54 |
| curiousx | i am latino and i like the inglish language =) | 06:55 |
| curiousx | but i dont know to write very well =( | 06:55 |
| IMeerkat | Anyone here using tor? | 06:56 |
| UrB | emily_: so you can reach the hotel wifi login page with Ubuntu too or not? | 06:56 |
| ome | IMeerkat: why ? | 06:56 |
| IMeerkat | Just wondering | 06:56 |
| curiousx | IMeerkat: install vidalia tor's GUI | 06:56 |
| emily_ | no UrB I can't even access the login page, it tells me that it is unable to load page | 06:56 |
| curiousx | IMeerkat: sudo apt-get install vidalia | 06:57 |
| ome | IMeerkat: it's safe to assume there is lots of people who does - at least in IRC/freenode, if not this channel specifically. | 06:57 |
| IMeerkat | Oh emily google ssh tunneling hak5. Easy way to tunnel to your webserver and get free hotel wifi | 06:57 |
| UrB | emily_: did it fail to connect to the wifi altogether? | 06:57 |
| tuc | curiousx, ok am installin in the order | 06:58 |
| UrB | I've had experiences with hotel wifis where it took several connection attempts to get it actually running | 06:58 |
| curiousx | ok, =) | 06:58 |
| emily_ | what do I do, open up a terminal window IMeerkat? | 06:58 |
| emily_ | yes UrB it failed to connect even though Ubuntu detected the WiFi | 06:58 |
| tuc | curiousx, i need 64 bit | 06:58 |
| IMeerkat | Curiousx: I know I have it | 06:58 |
| tuc | curiousx, i am using ubuntu 64bit | 06:59 |
| IMeerkat | Emily it will only work if you can point to a webserver | 06:59 |
| emily_ | maybe if I tried harder UrB? | 06:59 |
| UrB | emily_: could be that dhcp failed | 07:00 |
| emily_ | maybe wasn't so impatient? | 07:00 |
| emily_ | dhcp? | 07:00 |
| tuc | MestreLion, i need 64bit | 07:00 |
| emily_ | sorry I don't' know that | 07:00 |
| UrB | emily_: the process where your laptop gets a network address from the hotel wifi | 07:00 |
| emily_ | ah I c | 07:00 |
| emily_ | interesting | 07:00 |
| MestreLion | tuc: not necessarily | 07:00 |
| emily_ | what does that mean exactly UrB? | 07:00 |
| UrB | not much from the end user view point, it just won't work then :) | 07:01 |
| curiousx | mmm... it doesn't matter when you turn on the notebook you can chose betean 32 bits or 64 bits kernel, the new which are installing right now and the old | 07:01 |
| IMeerkat | I'm surprised so many people here don't use an IRc bouncer. Odd. | 07:01 |
| curiousx | or if you want, you can install also the 3.2.12 64 bits as you like | 07:01 |
| emily_ | so maybe I should just be patient and keep trying until it sticks UrB? | 07:01 |
| tuc | MestreLion, how can in install 32bit kernel when am using 64bit | 07:01 |
| UrB | but I'd try few times with Ubuntu again switching the wifi off/on between the attempts | 07:01 |
| MestreLion | tuc: i mean... you don't HAVE to use 64bits just because of your RAM size... | 07:01 |
| ome | emily_: computers doesn't talk names, they talk numbers, so when you type google.com it has to be changed to googles ip address, something like 74.125.237.129 | 07:01 |
| MestreLion | tuc: oh, sorry... yes, if your current system is 64, go 64 | 07:02 |
| emily_ | I know that ome but thanx :) I just didn't know what that four letter protocol was that's all, I'm an Ubuntu newbie | 07:02 |
| ome | emily_: fair enough. | 07:02 |
| UrB | emily_: same thing happens under windows too, it's not really operating system related | 07:02 |
| emily_ | right? ok UrB | 07:03 |
| curiousx | tuc: this step i gove ya, will install PAE which mean that your kernel will recognize mor than 4 gb ram, i taste that | 07:03 |
| emily_ | so then maybe if I just acted persistently and kept trying | 07:03 |
| IMeerkat | Hotel wifi is brutal | 07:03 |
| curiousx | i ran 8 gb in 32 bit with PAE | 07:03 |
| emily_ | I turned the comp on and off and it still didn't take... | 07:03 |
| UrB | emily_: you don't have to turn the whole computer on/off, just do that to wifi | 07:03 |
| emily_ | hmmm | 07:04 |
| UrB | that should be enough to start from a "fresh table" | 07:04 |
| MestreLion | curiousx: but his current system is 64 already | 07:04 |
| IMeerkat | Emily what kind of laptop do you have? | 07:04 |
| tuc | curiousx, but i have only 2gb ram and currently using ubuntu 64bit | 07:04 |
| emily_ | guess I'll have to fiddle with it then... | 07:04 |
| emily_ | I have a lenovo | 07:04 |
| ome | emily_: Do you get any specific error ? | 07:04 |
| IMeerkat | Your wifi card should be supported | 07:04 |
| ome | or it just says connection error ? | 07:04 |
| tuc | curiousx, how can install 32bit kernels.. plz send 64bit link | 07:05 |
| UrB | emily_: possibly stupid questio - has the wifi worked on ubuntu before? | 07:05 |
| curiousx | ok MestreLion tuc | 07:05 |
| IMeerkat | Might help open terminal type: sudo apt-get update | 07:05 |
| emily_ | um yeah it says 'unable to connect' and yeah it has UrB this is just something new that's come up | 07:05 |
| curiousx | mmm... give a minute to do a paste with the steps in order | 07:05 |
| tuc | curiousx, ok | 07:06 |
| emily_ | 'you are now offline' is what it says I think | 07:06 |
| curiousx | oh! yours programs wa installed for 64 bits i forgot that =P | 07:06 |
| emily_ | the wifi worked on Ubuntu before, it seemed to work ok when I turned the comp off then on again | 07:06 |
| emily_ | but just today I kept trying to get online and it wouldn't but I'll try that, I will try turning the wifi on and off | 07:07 |
| UrB | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1330428 | 07:07 |
| UrB | you are no alone with the issues :) | 07:07 |
| UrB | +t | 07:07 |
| emily_ | not sure how to go about doing that but.... | 07:07 |
| ome | emily_: Do you know the wifi chipset or the driver you are currenty using ? | 07:07 |
| vicium | Anyway, Can either of you reccomend a template/dist to run using a ECS? I've found that ubuntu 11.04 x64 doesnt really do it for me, the kernel/whatever you would refer it to, is poorly optimized for 32bit applications, if that makes any sense.. I run a mumble server/cs server/apache/mysql | 07:07 |
| emily_ | ummmmm nope sorry ome | 07:07 |
| UrB | emily_: type lsusb and/or lspci in terminal | 07:08 |
| vicium | 11.10 is not available :/ | 07:08 |
| UrB | it'll list your devices | 07:08 |
| curiousx | tuc: the steps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/891839/ | 07:08 |
| IMeerkat | Vicium:? ? | 07:08 |
| chroot | well, is there a program that can compare two pictures and if the two equal then return a value or exit suceessfully? | 07:08 |
| tuc | curiousx, thnx | 07:09 |
| vicium | IMeerkat: Yes? | 07:09 |
| vicium | Am i confusing? :P | 07:09 |
| curiousx | tuc: np | 07:09 |
| apple_cat | chroot: Why would it need to be a program that compares pictures, rather than just any file type? | 07:09 |
| fbdystang | Hi, I have a ubuntu server that I can ping, but when I try to pull up the webpage, it times out. Please advise | 07:09 |
| vicium | Well like.. Is there any pros to downgrading from a 11.04 template to a 10.04? | 07:09 |
| vicium | Or perhaps dumping ubuntu totally :p | 07:10 |
| chroot | apple_cat, because I want to use face recognition. | 07:10 |
| vicium | (elastic cloud server) | 07:10 |
| chroot | so i need compare two pictures and need a result | 07:10 |
| chroot | apple_cat, any idea? | 07:10 |
| apple_cat | chroot: imagemagick might have something, there's a good library called 'opencv' that might have some apps made that will do what you want | 07:11 |
| Crooks_mobile | i know libraries exist that deal with this chroot. youll likely have to code some thing yourself though | 07:11 |
| chroot | ok, you guys, i know opencv | 07:11 |
| chroot | and apple_cat , i want to use opencv | 07:12 |
| chroot | and then | 07:12 |
| chroot | ? | 07:12 |
| apple_cat | !ask | chroot | 07:13 |
| ubottu | chroot: 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 | 07:13 |
| chroot | then I need to install the opencv lib right? | 07:14 |
| chroot | and then learn to use the opencv and write the program i want ? | 07:14 |
| UrB | emily_: is the hotel network secured or just with the login page? | 07:14 |
| olegb | chroot: asking google brings up: http://pdiff.sourceforge.net/ | 07:14 |
| apple_cat | chroot: That's the general idea, yes | 07:15 |
| emily_ | just with the login page, it is an open wifi UrB | 07:15 |
| UrB | ok | 07:15 |
| chroot | but if i just want to use the idea app, and not to design it myself? | 07:15 |
| chroot | it seems a lot of work. | 07:15 |
| apple_cat | chroot: Yes, designing your own facial recognition software could be a lot of work | 07:16 |
| chroot | olegb, i have tried that, not ideal. | 07:16 |
| chroot | apple_cat, ok, not a big deal, i will do it myself. | 07:16 |
| apple_cat | chroot: Good luck and have fun : ) | 07:17 |
| chroot | oh, apple_cat , do you know how to recored voice under terminal in ubuntu? | 07:17 |
| chroot | last one | 07:17 |

| chroot | could you show me how to use it. | 07:18 |

| g105b | Can someone guide me re-installing Unity? No matter what I do, it keeps falling back to unity2d | 09:55 |
| Lantizia | Kingsy, it'll most likely need dist-upgrade if it's something that slightly conflicts or has changed the base installation | 09:57 |
| Kingsy | Lantizia: I am using 10.04 LTS (its on a server) | 09:58 |

| === Guest32818 is now known as mopar | ||

| Lantizia | apt-get upgrade : This command installs the latest versions of any out-of-date packages on your system. It never installs a package that is not yet installed. | 10:00 |

| Lantizia | drounse, probably some minor glitch between the chipset it has or some other peripheral or onboard system that you'll need to give some extra boot flags for. is the pc a known manufacturer/brand/model? if so i'd start googling for others having that issue | 10:11 |

| drounse | llutz_ no what? | 10:15 |
| Lantizia | pc, well all I can say is run alsamixer as by default you might find lots of them only half way or 75% - check the normal ubuntu volume controls and speaker configuration (mono or 2 speaker i'm guessing) | 10:15 |
| llutz_ | drounse: sry no www (no access to fancy colorfull http-sites) here | 10:15 |
| drounse | llutz_ ohh ok | 10:16 |

On the start screen I have a message, that system is trying to set up full network support, then waits 60 seconds trying to do that, then starting system without full network support. I guess, this is because it doesn't know my modem device, cause wi-fi and lan works perfectly. So, I don't need my modem device.. How to turn it off by defalt, or just say ubuntu to load without full network support | 10:51 |
| eSoul128 | quick question, if i install beta 1 if 12.04 on my machine, when beta 2 and "gold" are released, will apt-get update/dist-upgrade get me to latest baring any major changes | 10:52 |
| Uitrix | I've tried to google, found nothing.. | 10:52 |

| eSoul128 | Vitrix, its a bunch of console commands, and i dont think it would help really | 10:56 |
| philinux | eSoul128: If it's updated you got it. Even if major change | 10:56 |
| eSoul128 | becasue if its at boot | 10:56 |
| eSoul128 | before your first login | 10:56 |
| eSoul128 | I believe /dev/ repopultes the ttyS dev links | 10:57 |
| [Si] | Uitrix do a lsmod to find the module | 10:57 |
| gaby | lluts_ what no? | 10:57 |
| eSoul128 | but im no expert there | 10:57 |
| llutz_ | gaby: you can't | 10:57 |
| eSoul128 | sorry for the multiple lines, bad habbit | 10:57 |
| [Si] | Uitrix then add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf "blacklist modulename". once that's done run sudo update-initramfs -u | 10:59 |
| Uitrix | [Si]: unfortunatly, can't find that module, cause don't know the name of device in that list.. | 10:59 |
| eSoul128 | Si, sorry to ask a related but unrelated question, is initramfs the first bit after/including the kernel on bootup | 11:00 |
| kame | hi. i use easy peasy. my problem: When i open an application/programm it opens in full screen. how to prevent this? | 11:00 |

| pc | again th same issue low sound | 11:03 |
| NewWorld | pc: turn up the volume | 11:03 |
| pc | IST TURNED ON TO MAX | 11:04 |
| pc | sorry | 11:04 |
| matt_symes | eSoul: Initramfs is the initial root filling system the kernel loads before finding the main root filing system so yes, It's the first thing it loads. It does not have to be though | 11:04 |
| pc | how to install a new driver | 11:04 |
| NewWorld | pc: In console type `alsamixer` - make sure everything is cranked up like Master/PCM, etc | 11:06 |
| === fublisher is now known as fublisher|away | ||
| pc | everyhing is to max | 11:07 |
| eSoul | matt_symes: I see, but then can be overwritten once the main root fs is found I suppose | 11:07 |
| [Si] | eSoul yes, sorry was akf a bit there. it has teh kernel + any modules required to boot (SCSI controlers, lvm fs modules etc) | 11:07 |
| eSoul | its either use an intiramfs or specify the root in the kernerl params | 11:07 |
| eSoul | indeed indeed | 11:07 |
| pc | still nothing | 11:08 |
| [Si] | Uitrix, pm the output of lspci and lsmod and I'll see if I can see it for you :) | 11:08 |
| [Si] | don't paste it in here. | 11:08 |
| === CtrlAltDel is now known as turbomettwurst | ||
| [Si] | eSoul normaly you have to have one unless you compile all boot time modules into the kernel, (ie they are no longer modules) | 11:09 |
| matt_symes | eSoul. It's a compressed archive that gets loaded into memory. It creates certain required devices such as /dev/null but its main role it to load the root filling system | 11:09 |
| SubjectOne | can you run android-apps in ubuntu with the latest linux kernel 3.3 ? | 11:10 |

| Uitrix | [Si]: where can I post it for u? it's quite big to do it write here) | 11:11 |
| Uitrix | *right | 11:11 |
| kame | once agian, hi. i use easy peasy. my problem: When i open an application/programm it opens in full screen. how to prevent this? | 11:11 |
| [Si] | Uitrix you should see another window pop in your irc client :) | 11:12 |
| eSoul | I see I see. I mean, I am a CS student, going on my 8th year fr my 4 year degree since ive been working and skipped semesters, and im already 300-400 level, but unfortuantely to save time and to eat at us true geeks, we dont talk much about how th particular OS does its work. Other than the, you have these things that happen in an OS | 11:12 |
| eSoul | And I have been around/had experience with Linux for 12 years, but I dont know every single in and out | 11:13 |
| DJones | kame: You're probably best asking that in #easypeasy which is the support channel for easypeasy according to their website, | 11:13 |
| [Si] | eSoul it's good to ask these questions :) | 11:13 |
| matt_symes | eSoul: You can uncompress initramfs and take a look at the scripts and modules inside | 11:13 |
| eSoul | bzImages are intramfs-es arent they | 11:13 |
| eSoul | or at least can be | 11:14 |
| pc | dear all can someone help me how to update this audio driver | 11:15 |
| kame | DJones thank you! :) | 11:15 |
| m1chael | i'm trying to burn a mpg to dvd using growisofs... the dvd skips in a dvd player, otherwise it plays fine. anyone have any suggestions for me? | 11:18 |
| matt_symes | eSoul: mkdir ~/initram_extract && cs $_ && gzip -dc /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-14-generic | cpio -idmv or something along those lines should extract it. You will need to change the archive name as required | 11:20 |
| matt_symes | eSoul: They are compressed archives. The compression can be different types | 11:21 |
| eSoul | Indeed. I see. I just finished putting a server together, using the FOG Project, but open source lab computer imaging | 11:22 |
| eSoul | so when a student hoses a machine, netboot it and then you can pull down a fresh image | 11:22 |
| pc_ | can someone help me to fix my audio problem | 11:23 |
| jpastore | so I just installed 11.10 upgraded from 10.10. I must say I'm not happy with the upgrade. unity not so great. I miss my cube and synaptic. if there a reason why wifi disocnnects to easily I queued up a couple of things to download before passing out last night, open the laptop this morning and it reconnected to wifi and continued. it seems to disconnect easily | 11:23 |
| ahhughes | can I get Vinagre to actually set thru ctrl+alt+left e.t.c. command keys? | 11:23 |
| eSoul | It just woudlnt do me any good now to look thru the files in it unless a system type wont boot | 11:23 |
| jpastore | pc_ IDK if I can help you but what's your problem? I had a crazy volume issue where if the volume was < 20% it was muted >20% it was only psycho loud. | 11:25 |
| pc_ | ive very low sound | 11:25 |
| pc_ | and in the mixer all is set up to max | 11:26 |
| jpastore | pc_ that's the inverse of the problem I had. have you tried booting from the live cd to see if it's the system itself or hardware related? | 11:27 |
| samineru | I'm about to resize me primary / partition, which contains boot. I will be changing the start. Will a standard grub recovery fix GRUB after this, or is that even necessary? | 11:28 |
| eSoul | samineru I just kinda messed with this myself | 11:28 |
| ikonia | samineru: you hopefully won't need to change anything | 11:29 |
| ikonia | samineru: I assume you are resizing from a livecd ? | 11:29 |
| eSoul | as long as the UUIS is going to be the same of the partition you are booting from ,grub should be fine, but you can run an update-grub to make sure? | 11:29 |
| eSoul | *UUID | 11:29 |
| samineru | @eSoul, @ikonia, Cause sda2 will still be sda2? And yes, from partedmagic | 11:29 |
| eSoul | samineru, most likely | 11:29 |
| ikonia | samineru: ok, go for it, and don't worry if something goes wrong it can most likley be fixed easy | 11:30 |
| ikonia | samineru: backup anything you need that is important to you though | 11:30 |
| samineru | If it's important it's already in 2 places :) | 11:30 |
| eSoul | UUID is the more accepted way to reference your block devices if im not mistaken now | 11:30 |
| anudaasa | helou, have someone experience with luckybackup ? | 11:30 |
| samineru | Ah, presumably GRUB does that already? | 11:30 |
| eSoul | since controllers seems to come up at a slightly different time | 11:30 |
| eSoul | samineru -- with a grub-update it will check and make sure I believe | 11:30 |
| eSoul | err | 11:31 |
| eSoul | samineru update-grub, sorry | 11:31 |
| eSoul | but yeah, you will be able to fix it easily with a livecd/usb | 11:31 |
| eSoul | but back up anything since you are partition resizing, you may lose it | 11:32 |
| eSoul | *anything you really need | 11:32 |
| samineru | Yep, it's all on an external | 11:32 |
| eSoul | right on | 11:33 |
| samineru | Now it's time to waaaaaait | 11:33 |
| pc | when i restart the pc my master m in alsamixer is allways off | 11:33 |
| eSoul | samineru I NEVER partition resize unless its to grow it | 11:34 |
| eSoul | because of the defrag thats basically taking place | 11:34 |
| eSoul | takes forever | 11:34 |
| samineru | @eSoul, Yeah, this is a move AND shrink, so I've allocated my whole morning | 11:34 |
| eSoul | lol, samineru, just start out with a fresh drive? | 11:35 |
| samineru | eSoul, Windows|Linux|Storage Windows had more space than it needed and storage was running out of space | 11:35 |
| eSoul | samineru: I see I see, i forgot most people dot have the 7.5 TB i have, although thats nothing compared to rigs ive seen on the internet | 11:36 |
| pc | how to update this driver pls 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller | 11:36 |
| anudaasa | Soul: you have 7.5 TB ? | 11:37 |
| samineru | @eSoul, laptop | 11:38 |

| eSoul | anudaasa -- yes, across 10 SATA drives | 11:38 |
| pc | any help today | 11:38 |
| anudaasa | eSoul: aha, so it is under 1 TB for one disk | 11:39 |
| samineru | Well, thanks for talking, I'm gonna go eat breakfast move on with my day | 11:39 |
| eSoul | some are 2 tb | 11:39 |
| eSoul | some are 750 | 11:39 |
| eSoul | GB | 11:39 |
| eSoul | i think it might be close to 9TB total, but i have two 2TB drives mirrored together with ZFS | 11:40 |
| anudaasa | eSoul: is possible to have NTFS on 2 TB disk ? | 11:40 |
| eSoul | yes | 11:40 |
| eSoul | as long as you have WinXP sp1 or abov | 11:40 |
| eSoul | e | 11:40 |
| eSoul | if you are using an orginal release xp disk, you will only be able to make partitions up to 100 or something GBs in size | 11:41 |
| anudaasa | Soul: 100TB is enough :-) | 11:41 |
| eSoul | anudaasa -- no, only 100GBs | 11:42 |
| eSoul | It may even be less. It wasnt using LBA-48 addressing | 11:42 |
| eSoul | (i think, could be pulling crap from my butt) | 11:42 |

| === angela-android is now known as nothingspecial | ||
| anudaasa | kk2: thank you, i will no using kernel 3.2.x :-) | 11:46 |
| Kk2 | lol, why anudaasa? everyting is working, less the ubuntu logo from booting :P | 11:47 |
| [Si] | Kk2 sounds like your framebuffer driver is missing from your 3.2 kernel | 11:47 |
| anudaasa | kk2: i have 3.0.x and working everythink | 11:48 |
| [Si] | what graphics card/drivers are you using in your old kernel? | 11:48 |

| === chopin_ is now known as jkeiper | ||
| [Si] | I only ever got the logo using the nouveau drivers, the nvidia ones don't support KVM so I guess you were using uvesa or similar for the framebuffer drivers | 11:50 |
| Kk2 | so, i will not get the logo screens anymore? is there anyway i change for text mode? like see the kernel coming up, configuring dhcpd and all? in text, without the buffer logo?! | 11:51 |
| Kk2 | hmm i found a way, just editing the grub :) | 11:55 |
| [Si] | Kk2 edit /etc/default/grub. Change the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" to have "nomodeset" then add "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text" to the end of the file. Then run Update grub | 11:55 |
| [Si] | sorry had to boot up my pc with the Nvidia in it to check. | 11:55 |
| Kk2 | thx a lot [Si] :D | 11:55 |
| [Si] | no worries Kk2 took a bit of fiddling to make that work here, this is on 11.10 btw. | 11:55 |
| worm | Kk2 after that, run this command: "update-grub >/boot/grub/grub.cfg" Don't forget the >, or it will just print the result out. | 11:56 |

| worm | mcb_ Oh, I found it. Thanks a lot. But why the programmer just put a "#" to that line? It is so hard to find that. | 12:12 |
| mcb_ | worm: The # caracter means that it is a comantary. Taking it out will actualy uncomment the line and "turn on" the configuration. | 12:13 |

| dr_willis_ | canon is kniwn to often have poor linux support. | 12:44 |
| Pratik | hi | 12:45 |
| dr_willis_ | if its supported a printer should plug in and just work. | 12:45 |
| bal | dr_willis_: it is not working | 12:45 |
| dr_willis_ | chevked the printer support site to see if its even working? | 12:46 |
| dr_willis_ | err supported | 12:46 |
| JSeymour | What dr_willis_ said. One of the reasons I won't buy Canon any more, @home or @work. | 12:47 |
| bal | dr_willis_: printer is shows when i add printer but not working | 12:47 |
| bal | any way i need to use na | 12:47 |
| dr_willis_ | check the cups logs. and askubuntu.com it may need some extra package | 12:49 |

| JSeymour | bal: As dr_willis_ asked: Did you check the printer support site to see if that printer is supported? | 12:50 |
| bal | dr_willis_: it is there but i don't know how to do it | 12:50 |
| bal | to much scripts and am new to ubuntu | 12:50 |
| JSeymour | bal: I assume you're using CUPS. I just entered "2900" into the driver search and came up empty. Just because CUPS "sees" it doesn't mean CUPS *supports* it. | 12:51 |
| sacarlson | bal: I had a canon printer IP1880 and never got it to work in 64bit ubuntu, I did have success with 32bit as they didn't release an open driver and at the time only supported 32bit | 12:51 |

| QA | doh .... was meant to be ctrl+z .... PLUS | 12:53 |

| Birk_ | Anyone knows a command to get only the number of connections ni a determinated port ? | 13:10 |
| Zaitzev | yeah I know, not that I've made any change aside from hiding mounted drives | 13:10 |
| Zaitzev | thanks a bunch ome. | 13:10 |
| ome | not a problem. | 13:10 |
| Zaitzev | although, the "&" didn't do much good, there are still lines in terminal (WARN) | 13:11 |
| ome | Zaitzev: well, you can close the terminal and reopen it without killing unity. | 13:11 |
| Zaitzev | nvm, ^C worked fine..thought first it would close unity :P | 13:11 |
| ome | Zaitzev: you can always try that sort of things in run (alt+F2), you miss out on the response/possible-erros though. | 13:12 |

| ome | Pratik: though. can you give more info about the problem ? have you got anything from Log files ? | 13:21 |
| MonkeyDust | [Si] ome you're the first ones to disagree :s | 13:21 |
| Pratik | ome: i haven't modified any of the files | 13:21 |
| ome | [Si]: not that it's any difficult in windows either. :) | 13:21 |
| ome | Pratik: No, I mean have you tried to read and find out if there is any information logged about what is going wrong ? | 13:22 |
| [Si] | if you don't password grub you don't need boot disk/usb etc | 13:22 |

| [Si] | ome indeed :) but the statement about linux and password making it secure was what I was questioning. | 13:26 |
| garmet | I am somewhat struggling with my dual screen setup. It works as intended, both screen works. The primary is 24" horizontal and the other is 22" vertical screen. Im using xinerama and would like to position the screens so that when I have a window in between them the borders of the window "align". I cant use negative offsets, that upset xorg... | 13:26 |

| neo1691 | My bootloader is grub2 and i am dualbooting windows 7 with ubuntu!! If i make another partition and install windows xp will it be detected by grub? | 13:38 |
| dlentz | Myrtti, noted | 13:39 |
| JSeymour | neo1691: If you install winXP it'll overwrite the boot block with its own loader | 13:39 |
| ome | fabiansc: the eth1 is the wireless interface. | 13:39 |
| fabiansc | neo1691: I guess windows xp will overwrite grub..? | 13:39 |
| fabiansc | ome: oh okay. I thought its my network cable-based one. Thank you | 13:39 |
| dlentz | xp will overwrite grub, but you can reinstall it with the livecd | 13:39 |
| ome | fabiansc: try `ifconfig` and you should see wlan0/wifi0 or something like that. | 13:39 |
| neo1691 | fabiansc, JSeymour Any solution?? how can i install ubuntu now? | 13:39 |
| neo1691 | *sorry windows xp now | 13:39 |
| JSeymour | neo1691: Yeah, backup the boot block :) | 13:39 |
| neo1691 | JSeymour, How can i do that?? any links wil be helpful | 13:40 |
| mcb_ | neo1691: Use a virtual machine, it is the simpler way. | 13:40 |
| ome | neo1691: most likely yes. and you need to reinstall grub2. do you have a diff. partation for your bootloader ? | 13:40 |
| fabiansc | neo1691: you can use a live cd to get your bootloader back; or use ubuntu wubi | 13:40 |
| michal91 | #ubuntu-pl | 13:40 |

| neo1691 | ome, yes i do have a different partition for bootloader | 13:40 |
| JSeymour | neo1691: Lemme double-chech that syntax, tho | 13:40 |
| fabiansc | neo1691: ubuntu wubi is a program fo windows; you "install" ubuntu this way in windows bootloader | 13:40 |
| neo1691 | fabiansc, if i install xp in an altogether different partition then i wont be able to boot into xp right? | 13:41 |
| fabiansc | ome: ifconfig gives me eth0, eth1 (with an inet adress, so i guess its my wlan0?) and lo | 13:41 |
| neo1691 | sorry i wont be able to boot into ubuntu right | 13:41 |
| ome | fabiansc: most likely, | 13:41 |
| ome | neo1691: nope. not after you install XP. | 13:42 |
| JSeymour | neo1691: http://paste.ubuntu.com/892187/ | 13:42 |
| ome | once you install XP all you need to do is reinstall/update-grub2 and you should be fine again. | 13:42 |
| JSeymour | ome: You don't need to reinstall Grub. You just need to restore the MBR. | 13:43 |
| fabiansc | neo1691: I think you. If you install Windows, it will overwrite your bootloader. Ununtu will insert your windows partition into grub. Another way is ubuntu wubi. It is like a program for windows, which has a virtual disk (like a virtual machine) but will be executed by the bootloader | 13:43 |
| mcb_ | fabiansc: You can tell which eth is wich by the MAC ADDRESS, as normaly the MAC is assossiate with the manufactor. | 13:43 |
| fabiansc | ome: thank you very much. | 13:43 |
| ome | JSeymour: restore MBR is what update-grub2 does. :) | 13:43 |
| JSeymour | neo1691: You'll have to boot into a LiveCD thing, open a terminal, and "sudo ..." to do part 2. | 13:44 |
| fabiansc | mcb_: ah ok. I didn't think about that. I need to "update" my wireless card for my it-security lecture (aircrack stuff); therefore I needed to use my wlan0 / eth1 :-) Thanks so much | 13:44 |
| Defusal | i don't quite get this, i switched from putty to SecureCRT recently for my windows ssh client, as it got the best ratings. but now with this client, if my connection dies, all processing running in ssh sessions continue in the background, which forces me to kill them manually later to free listening ports and stuff... does anyone have any idea why this would be happening? | 13:44 |
| JSeymour | neo1691: You'll also have to know where you save the MBR to, and mount the partition that's on | 13:44 |
| JSeymour | neo1691: *Don't* save it to /tmp, on the running system, if /tmp is a RAM fs ;) | 13:45 |
| JSeymour | (The foregoing all assumes the reader has reasonable 'nix skillz.) | 13:46 |
| neo1691 | JSeymour, its difficult for me it seems | 13:46 |
| JSeymour | neo1691: You have a thumb drive? Save it to that. | 13:47 |
| JSeymour | Let's say you plug the thumb drive in an Linux mounts it as "Thumb". It'll be under /media/Thumb | 13:48 |
| ome | JSeymour: from what I see, he doesn't know how to backup the MBR. that is why I suggested to reinstall Grub2. considering that he has a diff. partation for bootloader. | 13:48 |

| JSeymour | Doesn't the MBR point to the desired bootloader? Isn't that what a Master Boot Record is? | 13:57 |
| JSeymour | Thing is: Doing it my way, I think you have to somehow tell Grub about the new 'doze partition. I don't recall. | 13:58 |
| ome | JSeymour: so that means, you have to update the MBR to laod the desired bootloader ? | 13:58 |
| JSeymour | neo1691: ^^^ | 13:58 |
| JSeymour | ome: That's the way *I* understand it works: Yes. | 13:59 |
| ome | JSeymour: 'aight then. I thought you said its always the same. | 13:59 |
| JSeymour | ome: That's why, when you install a new 'doze, you lose Linux entirely, because the 'doze install overwrites the MBR with a new one. | 13:59 |

| ome | and to tell the Grub about the new partation, you can edit the grub.conf yourself or just run `update-grub2` and let it find all OS itself. | 14:00 |

| theadmin | fabiansc: Which Ubuntu version are you using? The latest kernel in Ubuntu, if I recall correctly, is 3.1 | 14:04 |

| abhinavmehta | My local network is behind the wireless router…so IP should be 192.xxx something eg. local-ips…or should I provide ISP-provided ups..? | 14:08 |
| fabiansc | ikonia: We need to simulate an attack on a wireless lan and present the results... there is no further support... but that's my problem :-) | 14:08 |
| fabiansc | we are writing a seminarpaper about it afterwards | 14:08 |
| ikonia | fabiansc: have you considered using a distro that is aimed to do that | 14:08 |
| latifani | hi | 14:09 |
| fabiansc | I was thinking about backtrack 3, but it didn't work with my hardware | 14:09 |
| ikonia | fabiansc: with the utmost respect, how can you give a lecture on something like this when you have no understanding of how to use/manage the tool | 14:09 |
| theadmin | fabiansc: Try backtrack, I say. Messing with the kernel is, in general, a bad idea. Unless you're running gentoo I guess. | 14:09 |
| ikonia | fabiansc: why not a modern backtrack install | 14:09 |
| Defusal_ | in case anyone answered my question while i was timing out, please repaste it | 14:09 |
| fabiansc | ikonia: my hardware is completely not supporter. I tried it before. | 14:09 |
| Defusal_ | because now i have the issue again, and would really like to know why it is happening | 14:09 |
| playman | mcb_: you mean the "domain logons"? it's uncommented (it has the ; sign in front of it) | 14:10 |
| theadmin | Defusal_: Repeat your question please, since a ton of lines was here after you asked, likely | 14:10 |
| ikonia | fabiansc: backtrack is based on ubuntu | 14:10 |
| ikonia | fabiansc: so if ubuntu works, backtrack will work | 14:10 |
| Defusal_ | i don't quite get this, i switched from putty to SecureCRT recently for my windows ssh client, as it got the best ratings. but now with this client, if my connection dies, all processing running in ssh sessions continue in the background, which forces me to kill them manually later to free listening ports and stuff... does anyone have any idea why this would be happening? | 14:10 |
| nibbler_ | suddenly my center mousebutton does not paste anymore. any hint where to configure this? | 14:10 |
| fabiansc | ikonia: It doesn't boot at all and stuck while booting; only hard reset helps. Ubuntu boots fine. I don't know what else could be the issue. MD5 is fine. | 14:11 |
| xerz | hey can someone tell me whats the command for unix to download irssi on a VPS? | 14:11 |
| theadmin | Defusal_: I think that's a normal behaviour. Nothing kills the processes => they continue running | 14:11 |
| JSeymour | Need some help w/b0rk3d upgrade: Got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/892113/ then tried this http://paste.ubuntu.com/892221/ | 14:11 |
| ikonia | fabiansc: what version of backtrack have you tried ? | 14:11 |
| Defusal_ | theadmin, err, that is not how ssh sessions work... | 14:11 |
| mcb_ | playman: Both # and ; characters comments lines in smb.conf | 14:11 |
| fabiansc | BT3 RC something (actual) | 14:11 |
| Defusal_ | when the ssh session dies, so do all processes that it is running | 14:11 |
| theadmin | Defusal_: Eh... Hm. | 14:11 |
| xerz | anyone? | 14:11 |
| ikonia | fabiansc: ok, that is very old, try a modern version, backtrack 4 - 5 | 14:11 |
| nmvictor | I hav an old laptop that cant boot USB drive, the CD drive is not working and so the only available solution is network booting via PXE. Is their a guru on this area to take me through, I already have dhcp3-server and tftpboot installed in the machine i want to set up as server. I dont knwo what next, someone please take me through. | 14:11 |
| oCean | Defusal_: try contacting the maintainers of that client program, it is not an ubuntu issue | 14:11 |
| Defusal_ | oCean, my question is not how to fix the client, its how this is possible in the first place | 14:12 |
| oCean | Defusal_: it is not an ubuntu issue, so offtopic for this channel | 14:12 |
| Defusal_ | it breaks ssh's expected behaviour | 14:12 |
| MonkeyDust | xerz depends on what package manager Unix uses | 14:12 |
| fabiansc | ikonia: Ah that's old? Huh - than I'll take a second look for it. Thanks | 14:12 |
| Defusal_ | oCean, ok, then i will rephrase my question | 14:12 |
| garmet | not much response from #xorg :( anyone can take a look at this? http://pastebin.com/KU0qMH0m I'm trying to figure out why changing: "Screen1" RELATIVE "Screen0" 1920 0 -> 1920 200 increases the window alignment gap instead of decreasing it :( | 14:13 |
| ikonia | fabiansc: I promise using a distro that is built to do what you want rather than trying to patch the ubuntu kernel, will be a lot lot easier | 14:13 |
| xerz | MonkeyDust: Linux expres 2.6.18-274.7.1.el5.028stab095.1 #1 SMP Mon Oct 24 20:49:24 MSD 2011 i686 GNU/Linux | 14:13 |
| ikonia | ahhh a redhat kernel | 14:13 |

| xerz | i need help to install irssi thoguh | 14:13 |
| nmvictor | Is it possiblr to boot a remastered ubuntu ISO via PXE network booting? | 14:13 |
| Defusal_ | oCean: if you are unable to help, rather keep quiet please | 14:13 |
| xerz | what command would i use? | 14:13 |
| fabiansc | ikonia: do you know whether i can install it like my ubuntu right now (via wubi)? | 14:14 |
| ikonia | xerz: please pastebin the output of lsb_release -a | 14:14 |
| ikonia | fabiansc: no, and you're using wubi, bad idea | 14:14 |
| Defusal_ | how is it possible to disconnect from a SSHd, without the session dying? i have always assumed this is impossible, but since i now see it is possible, i'd like to know how it can be done, and if it is possible to reconnect to the same session again | 14:14 |
| MonkeyDust | xerz or simply lsb_release -sd | 14:14 |
| oCean | Defusal_: no, I am pointing out the guidelines for you. If you can't behave accordingly, I'll have to mute or remove you | 14:14 |
| xerz | ikonia: Distributor ID:Debian Description:Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8 (lenny) Release:5.0.8 Codename:lenny | 14:14 |
| ikonia | fabiansc: if you are going to do a job - do it right, get a distro like back track, install it properly in a dual boot setup | 14:14 |
| nmvictor | Any help with PXE booting, please! | 14:14 |
| ikonia | xerz: #debian would be the channel you want | 14:14 |
| fabiansc | hmm that's bad. USB Stick is too slow and stucks. Ubuntu wubi is fine for me. So I need to make a second partition | 14:15 |
| Defusal_ | oCean, i am well aware of the guidelines, my question is perfectly valid, please stop harrassing me | 14:15 |
| xerz | lol, cbf going there now | 14:15 |
| ikonia | nmvictor: are you using ubuntu or debian | 14:15 |
| ikonia | xerz: ok, bye then | 14:15 |

| nmvictor | ikonia: unbuntu | 14:15 |
| nmvictor | ikonia: ubuntu | 14:15 |
| mcb_ | railsraider: Do your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file ListenAddress 0.0.0.0. If not, SSH will only listen in the IP setted here. | 14:16 |
| nmvictor | ikonia: will you please take me throu' | 14:16 |
| Defusal_ | but i guess maybe a general linux channel will be able to provide an answer, since sshd isnt exactly specific to ubuntu | 14:16 |
| JSeymour | Defusal_: Gotta go w/oCean on this one: Your question seems OT for this channel. Neither component are Ubuntu things. One is either SSH or OpenSSH, the other a Windows application. | 14:16 |
| Zaitzev | What command do I run in terminal to give full read+write access to /var/www and all files and subfolders, with a user other than root? | 14:16 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: there are some windows clients that work like screen | 14:16 |
| [Si] | Defusal_ I would say look at screen ctrl-a d disconnects screen -r rejoins. | 14:16 |
| MonkeyDust | Defusal_ maybe this link is useful http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/02/03/keeping-ssh-sessions-alive/ | 14:16 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: they run a daemon and the client connects to that daemon that does the ssh work | 14:16 |
| JSeymour | Defusal_: SSH isn't specific to anything, really. | 14:16 |
| Defusal_ | JSeymour, ok, i will try find someone related to sshd, please make sure everyone in here refuses to help anyone with anything related to ssh in the future. thanks | 14:17 |
| JSeymour | *sigh* | 14:17 |
| ikonia | nmvictor: what part of pxe booting are you not clear with ? | 14:17 |
| Defusal_ | [Si], i am not talking about screen. | 14:17 |
| bazhang | !attitude > Defusal_ | 14:17 |
| ubottu | Defusal_, please see my private message | 14:17 |
| Defusal_ | i should have made that more clear | 14:17 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: I didn't say you where talking about screen | 14:17 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: re-read what I said | 14:17 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: I said there are some clients that act LIKE screen | 14:17 |
| Defusal_ | bazhang, my attitude was fine until i got harassed | 14:17 |
| Defusal_ | ikonia, i have not yet responding to you | 14:18 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: in that the front end you see isn't actually doing the work , the application daemon is | 14:18 |
| bazhang | Defusal_, thats enough. | 14:18 |
| JSeymour | Defusal_: You're more likely to get better help elsewhere, is all I'm saying. You're looking for expertise that might better be found elsehwere. | 14:18 |
| Defusal_ | responded* | 14:18 |
| Defusal_ | JSeymour, i got that, thanks | 14:18 |
| MonkeyDust | Defusal_ there's also the channel #network or #networking | 14:18 |
| nmvictor | ikonia: well, im not clear with the settings to write to /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf | 14:18 |
| JSeymour | Defusal_: You're welcome. Good luck finding your answer. | 14:18 |
| ikonia | nmvictor: ok, are you following a guide ? | 14:19 |
| nmvictor | ikonia: I was, some web pages | 14:19 |
| * JSeymour wonders if he should try *his* question on #debian? | 14:19 | |
| ikonia | nmvictor: which ones | 14:19 |
| Defusal_ | ikonia, i am pretty sure theres no daemon involved | 14:20 |
| nmvictor | ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto | 14:20 |
| Defusal_ | MonkeyDust: no sshd or server configuration has changed | 14:21 |
| ikonia | nmvictor: ok, so looking at the dhcp server config example in that link, what part isn't clear ? | 14:21 |
| MonkeyDust | Defusal_ it seems you're refusing each and any tip you're getting here, better ask your question in the #network channel | 14:22 |
| nmvictor | ikonia: First, the address used after subnet, does it have to be the one used or is their a particular one I have to use? | 14:22 |
| Defusal_ | MonkeyDust, my question is quite specific, but as i said, i will try ask in other linux related channels | 14:22 |
| Defusal_ | and im not refusing anything | 14:23 |
| Defusal_ | i am looking for a very specific answer | 14:23 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: contact the application vendor for an explination | 14:23 |
| nibbler_ | resolved: defective mouse key :( | 14:23 |
| Defusal_ | ikonia, my question is unrelated to the client, i want to know how sshd possibly allows this | 14:23 |
| Defusal_ | and how i can exploit it to resume sessions | 14:23 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: you'll need to know how the client works to understand that | 14:24 |
| Defusal_ | but most importantly, how it is possible in the first place | 14:24 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: as I said it maybe running a daemon/service as some windows ssh clients do | 14:24 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: finding out from the client vendor how it works is the first step | 14:24 |
| === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre | ||
| Defusal_ | ikonia, as i said, im pretty sure theres no daemon, i am looking at my process list now | 14:24 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: sorry, I didn't know you could read instead all the applications binaries | 14:24 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: ask the vendor how it works, once they explain how it works you can look at working out if this is a risk or not | 14:25 |
| ikonia | it's pointless to speculate | 14:25 |
| ikonia | get facts, work with facts | 14:25 |
| Defusal_ | regardless of the clients works, sshd either has a serious flaw, or a feature | 14:25 |
| nmvictor | ikonia: is their a proble using any address? | 14:25 |
| === carif_ is now known as carif | ||
| Defusal_ | either way, i want to know about it | 14:25 |
| Halli | !identify | 14:25 |
| ubottu | You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 14:25 |
| * JSeymour suspects a client-side "SO" setting on the 'doze side... | 14:25 | |
| ikonia | nmvictor: it's your dhcp pool | 14:25 |
| ikonia | Defusal_: then ask the client maker how it works and you can work out if it's an ssh security flaw, or just the client doing work for you and it's fine | 14:25 |
| oCean | JSeymour: no need for /me commands. Also, the MS product is called "Windows", please don't use silly misspellings | 14:25 |

| jo__ | hello, i got a question, can anybody tell me where i can download ubuntu 8.0.4.2 ? | 14:31 |
| auronandace | !8.04 | jo__ | 14:31 |
| ubottu | jo__: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support continues until 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 14:31 |
| theShadow- | good evening gentlemen | 14:32 |
| ikonia | jo__: that distro is end of life, are you %100 sure you want that one | 14:32 |
| mneptok | jo__: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ | 14:32 |
| mi3 | Hello! | 14:32 |
| mneptok | ikonia: 12 months left for server support. | 14:32 |
| ikonia | mneptok: true | 14:32 |
| mneptok | jo__: what ikonia said is 100% valid unless you are installing the server edition. and if you are, why not wait a couple weeks until the next LTS release drops? | 14:33 |
| mi3 | can someone suggest how can I grep specific information from a website? | 14:33 |
| theShadow- | I am soon going to attempt installing ubuntu in a partition on my apple laptop | 14:33 |
| jo__ | i am. its for an ums system i am goint to set up | 14:33 |
| nmvictor | ikonia: Do you mind if i get back to you later. Thanks. | 14:33 |
| mneptok | jo__: you do not want to be deploying production systems on a release that old and that close to EOL. | 14:34 |
| theShadow- | does anyone here have any experience with installing ubuntu from OSX? | 14:35 |
| auronandace | jo__: 10.04 is also lts and supported til 2015 | 14:35 |
| auronandace | !mac | theshadow | 14:35 |
| ubottu | theshadow: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 14:35 |
| jo__ | it is for school =) | 14:35 |
| theShadow- | oh also | 14:36 |
| jo__ | i would prefer a stable version too but i got old scripts =( | 14:36 |
| theShadow- | every guide i have found recommends using rEFIt | 14:36 |
| mneptok | jo__: i would not start building systems on a 4 year old release. | 14:36 |
| theShadow- | but as far as I know, it does not yet work with 10.7 | 14:36 |
| MonkeyDust | 10.7? | 14:37 |
| theShadow- | lion | 14:37 |
| theShadow- | latest version of OSX | 14:37 |
| MonkeyDust | ok | 14:37 |
| theShadow- | as far as I can tell, the reason for installing it is, if I install linux in a partition, my computer will automatically default to linux, instead of OSX | 14:38 |
| theShadow- | or something | 14:38 |
| mneptok | theShadow-: i have no experience with Macs, but my Thinkpad with UEFI did not require rEFIt. | 14:39 |
| theShadow- | ok | 14:39 |
| theShadow- | I will just install it | 14:39 |
| theShadow- | whats the worse that could happen, right? :p | 14:40 |
| theShadow- | ok next question | 14:40 |
| mneptok | theShadow-: you should see a very small FAT32 or FAT partition on the disk. be sure to tell Linux to mount this at /boot/efi/ | 14:40 |
| jo__ | theShadow: just press alt at boot and you can choose your partition | 14:40 |

| auronandace | oCean: cool, i guess i was going the long way around :) | 14:43 |
| jo__ | got it...thx to all who helped me. see you | 14:44 |
| oCean | auronandace: sometimes there are shortcuts :) | 14:44 |
| WLU | auronandace, oCean thanks foundit seems also modprobe -l will list all | 14:44 |

| toobaz | mi3: you cannot, simply using grep. You can couple grep with wget, for instance. But for non-totally-trivial tasks, you'd better go with a simple python script. | 14:48 |
| jatt | mi3: lynx -dump www.google.com | grep google | 14:48 |

| sacarlson | WLU: was nvidea working before gnome-shell? I installed gnome-shell with nvidea and didn't require any changes | 14:50 |

| WLU | sacarlson: yes it was but not with unity as well. Only classic will do | 14:51 |

| ikonia | theShadow-: what ? | 15:11 |
| theShadow- | it says in order to dual boot, it has to have 3 partitions | 15:11 |
| theShadow- | swap, root, and home | 15:12 |
| ikonia | no it doens't | 15:12 |
| MonkeyDust | theShadow- on that page, it is advised to have a separate /home partition | 15:12 |
| ikonia | you only "need" root - you should probably have swap, and you can have /home on a seperate partition if you want to | 15:12 |
| theShadow- | ok | 15:12 |
| auronandace | theShadow-: only root is really required, but swap is recommended | 15:12 |
| tret | if you delete the ubuntu partition you won't be able to boot windows so it's prolly for boot | 15:12 |
| ikonia | you can do it with one partition, however two is more realistic as swap is useful on it's own partition | 15:12 |
| ikonia | tret: that has nothing to do with it | 15:12 |
| theShadow- | can I create the swap partition later? | 15:13 |
| MonkeyDust | theShadow- you can disable it, with swapoff -a | 15:13 |
| mneptok | theShadow-: if you leave unpartitioned space, yes. but then you'll have to activate it all manually. | 15:13 |
| rebe | theshadow make swap file it's more handy | 15:13 |
| theShadow- | at this point, I want to keep everything as simple as possible, just to get it working to make sure I didn't break anything | 15:13 |
| mneptok | theShadow-: the simple approach is to create swap space during installation. | 15:14 |
| theShadow- | ok | 15:14 |
| bingomania | hey all DHCP question... I remember before when i use to run sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server it use to ask me setup questions (i.e. on what network interface should the dhcp server listen?) How come it no longer asks these questions at install? | 15:14 |
| MonkeyDust | theShadow- then use swap, it's default and you don't have to find out how to disable it | 15:14 |
| theShadow- | would you recommend creating all of the partitions from the installer?\ | 15:14 |
| Urchin | is there any way of disabling framebuffer in 10.04? | 15:14 |
| e2xistz | if I have 16gb ram, should I have swap? | 15:14 |
| tret | so if you do plan to remove ubuntu windows won | 15:14 |
| bingomania | i'm trying to set up dhcp server and cant even start it prob cuzit doesnt know where to listen | 15:14 |
| mneptok | theShadow-: hibernating/suspending that MacBook will require swap space | 15:14 |
| tret | so if you do plan to remove ubuntu windows won't boot unless you make a boot partition for grub | 15:14 |
| theShadow- | ok | 15:14 |
| bingomania | how can i run the dhcp3-server initial configuration again? | 15:14 |
| mneptok | tret: untrue. | 15:15 |
| auronandace | tret: he is running a mac | 15:15 |
| mneptok | tret: remove Ubuntu, delete its partitions, run the MBR restore tool from Windows. done. | 15:15 |
| theShadow- | I had originally created the partition for window from OSX's disc utility | 15:16 |
| e2xistz | What's the name of this MBR restore tool? | 15:16 |
| theShadow- | er, for linux | 15:16 |
| mneptok | e2xistz: "fdisk /mbr" used to do it on NT3 and such | 15:17 |
| * mneptok has not used Windows since the 1990s | 15:17 | |
| e2xistz | mneptok: What about Windows 7? | 15:17 |
| Egbert9s5 | my disk space went 0 and now i'm getting weird errors. it's something to do with the ecryptfs | 15:17 |
| Egbert9s5 | what do i do? | 15:17 |
| mneptok | e2xistz: invent a time machine, bring a copy of Win7 back to 1996, and i might know. | 15:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | e2xistz, I believe that it's accessed by booting the Windows Repair disk and selecting fix/repair MBR. | 15:18 |
| e2xistz | mneptok: I do have a time machine, but currently it's forward only. Here, now, you have a Win 7. | 15:18 |
| mneptok | Egbert9s5: boot the system from live media (CD or USB), mount the encrypted filespace and look at what's using what. | 15:18 |
| theShadow- | ok, take 2 | 15:18 |
| Egbert9s5 | mneptok: what do you mean what's using what? | 15:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Egbert9s5 start here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560411 | 15:19 |
| e2xistz | Sidewinder1: Yes, bootrec.exe /fixmbr /fixboot, but can you use it without a boot disc? | 15:19 |
| mneptok | Egbert9s5: you say available space dropped to 0. what is using that space and reporting those inodes as in use? | 15:20 |
| Egbert9s5 | mneptok: some files are now unreadable | 15:21 |
| TorbenBeta | How can I write in a shell script (Bash) that the process shall be put on hold? Control plus c. | 15:21 |
| Sidewinder1 | e2xistz, I'm not sure; like mneptok, I haven't used Win for a long time, also, never had to repair MBR, sorry. | 15:21 |
| bunny69 | hello | 15:21 |
| bunny69 | folks... i'm desperately trying to master vhosting... i know that there are so many docs and such... but still, vhosting gives me such a headache... perhaps someone could point me to a bullet proof solution? i just want to addd a vhost and forget about it instead of playing funny games with apache all the time | 15:21 |
| bingomania | can anyone help me get DHCP-SERVER started? | 15:22 |
| bunny69 | e.g. i have 3 different domains on 3 vhosts right now... different IPs also, and now i added 4th vhost and out of the blue apache sends a visitor to same virtual dir for 2 of those 4 vhosts... why on earth is that? | 15:22 |
| bingomania | it wont start... usually during the install when i have done this in the past it just asks questions like (what interface do you want to listen on_) and this time it never did | 15:22 |
| bunny69 | bingomania did you check logs? | 15:23 |
| dlentz | TorbenBeta, sleep? Maybe ask in #bash | 15:23 |
| bunny69 | is there anyone really good with hosting multiple sites on a single machine (few IPs) willing to help me out and give a bullet proof solution on vhosting? | 15:24 |
| TorbenBeta | dlentz, thanks. | 15:25 |
| bingomania | bunny69 how do i see the syslogs for the dhcp server... i looked in /var/log/ but i see nothing there for dhcp | 15:25 |
| mneptok | bunny69: the bullet-proof solution is understanding how apache2 does this. not someone understanding it for you. | 15:25 |
| thedonvaughn | bunny69: depends on your webserver. Just use VirtualHost in apache after turning it on and it's pretty simple | 15:25 |
| bunny69 | well that's what i'm doing | 15:25 |
| bunny69 | but | 15:25 |
| mneptok | bunny69: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/ <--- you understanding that yourself is the bullet-proof solution. | 15:25 |
| bunny69 | i just added a new vhost... standard files in sites-enabled and sites-available... but out of the blue the same dir is used for TWO domains and i have NO idea why is that | 15:26 |
| mneptok | bunny69: because you copy/pasted | 15:26 |
| bunny69 | i edited carefuly | 15:26 |
| bunny69 | and so far it worked nicely for 3 domains | 15:26 |
| bingomania | bunny69: i cant find any logs for dhcpd | 15:26 |
| thedonvaughn | bunny69: so each of hte domains has their own virtualhost directive and a different documentroot? | 15:27 |
| bunny69 | yes sir | 15:27 |
| atpa8a | hello | 15:27 |
| bittin | hi | 15:27 |
| atpa8a | seems like ubuntu is 'Starting OpenSSH server' once for everty NIC or alias... | 15:27 |
| bunny69 | and this is why i don't really understand why wouldn't it work... especially because it did work for 3 domains before | 15:28 |
| atpa8a | is that true? | 15:28 |
| bunny69 | i triple checked DocumentRoot for that 4th domain and it is well defined | 15:28 |
| bunny69 | and for some stupid reason it works but it also made some previous domain point to the same dir | 15:29 |
| asarch | How do you transfer the ISO to a USB memory stick? | 15:29 |
| bunny69 | while 2 other work just fine as usual... | 15:29 |
| asarch | UNetBootIn fails | 15:29 |
| asarch | :-( | 15:29 |
| asarch | Can you dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/myusb | 15:30 |
| asarch | ? | 15:30 |
| bingomania | anyone know why i cant find the dhcpd log anywhere | 15:30 |
| bingomania | i'm having issues starting dhcp3-server it after a fresh install an | 15:30 |
| auronandace | asarch: if it is 11.10 yes | 15:30 |
| bingomania | and i cant find tit anywhere in the syslog | 15:30 |
| bazhang | asarch, as of 11.10 the iso are hybrid | 15:30 |
| bingomania | i cant believe this is an issue... i've never had this problem with dhcp3-server | 15:31 |
| bingomania | (guess it's now ISC Dhcp server) | 15:31 |
| droid-0854 | asarch, might get root check error | 15:31 |
| atpa8a | asarch: don't think so... Universal USB Installer but it's for windows | 15:32 |
| bunny69 | ok... thanks for your help... when 1631 are in and no one can help with vhosting then something is damn wrong... | 15:33 |
| asarch | Thank you very much guys :-) | 15:33 |
| asarch | Thank you | 15:33 |
| droid-0854 | :) | 15:34 |

| zer0her0 | here's a dumb question, why do some packaged get kept back when doing a apt-get upgrade? | 15:39 |
| auronandace | zer0her0: did you apt-get update before the apt-get upgrade? | 15:40 |
| zer0her0 | auronandace, yep | 15:41 |
| zer0her0 | sudo'd of course ;) | 15:41 |
| auronandace | zer0her0: got any extra repos or ppas installed? | 15:41 |
| atpa8a | hmm | 15:42 |
| atpa8a | freaking resolveconf | 15:42 |
| atpa8a | not updating /etc/resolv.conf | 15:42 |
| zer0her0 | yes to repos but not to the PPAs | 15:42 |
| auronandace | zer0her0: that is likely why then, the conflicts are likely in the repos you added | 15:43 |
| zer0her0 | things being held back aren't from the extra repo(s)(not sure if it's just one there maybe 2 repos i've added) | 15:43 |
| quiescens | zer0her0: you should most likely do apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:44 |
| auronandace | zer0her0: what is being held back? | 15:44 |
| zer0her0 | it's linux-(headers-/image-)generic and 2 flashplugin items | 15:44 |
| zer0her0 | quiescens, dist-upgrade? | 15:44 |
| bazhang | zer0her0, yes, it's not a version upgrade | 15:45 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | zer0her0 | 15:45 |
| ubottu | zer0her0: 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. | 15:45 |
| zer0her0 | ah ok sweet, hehe thanks :) | 15:45 |
| zer0her0 | Do you want to continue [Y/n]? 5 | 15:46 |
| zer0her0 | Abort. | 15:46 |
| zer0her0 | hahahaha, man i think i need food. :) | 15:46 |
| phil_phys | can you install ubuntu in a asus eee pc 1101ha using a pendrive?? | 15:47 |
| quiescens | 5 is totally not an answer to a yes/no question | 15:47 |
| e2xistz | phil_phys: yes | 15:47 |
| phil_phys | e2xistz: If yes how? | 15:47 |
| Nach0z | phil_phys: and by "yes" he means "5" | 15:47 |
| zer0her0 | coworker says "Clearly 5 is the right answer" when i started laughing he asked what was going on. | 15:47 |
| e2xistz | phil_phys: unetbootin | 15:48 |
| shwaiil | Q: I'm buying a new computer, but I dont want win7, neither pay for the license, so I want to install ubuntu. Is this going to be compatible ? http://pastie.org/private/h7ny7z3p3nsvm4phmcqw3g | 15:48 |
| shwaiil | tks for looking | 15:48 |
| tolland | is there is a project for a tool to manage an access point? (in this case the wireless TX/RX is attached to a desktop, so I can apply the QOS shaping rules via netfilter) | 15:48 |
| phil_phys | e2xists: I downloaded Xubuntu with UNetbootin | 15:48 |
| Nach0z | shwaiil: no reason it douldn't be. ubuntu supports pretty much everything standard now. | 15:48 |
| tolland | but it is for a cafe with some people who would need to use the gui | 15:48 |
| Nach0z | that being said, shwaiil, I WANT YOUR COMPUTER :< | 15:48 |
| shwaiil | Nach0z: hum ok | 15:48 |
| Nach0z | shwaiil: keep in mind though, ubuntu doesn't like to run a bunch of Windows games. | 15:49 |
| shwaiil | Nach0z: it's not mine, just one idea :I it's a sacrifice I'm thinking about doing | 15:49 |
| e2xistz | phil_phys: use unetbootin to write it to the flash drive, then boot from the flashdrive. | 15:49 |
| shwaiil | Nach0z: its to work | 15:49 |
| shwaiil | Nach0z: my last game was delta force : black hawk down..that was 8 years ago ?! | 15:49 |
| Nach0z | ahhhh. then why the heck do you need a 560Ti? | 15:49 |
| shwaiil | never played again | 15:49 |
| phil_phys | e2xistz: I did it but i see a blac screen | 15:49 |
| shwaiil | Nach0z: II work in multimedia, I do programming, 2d, 3d, audio | 15:49 |
| Nach0z | ah gotcha. | 15:49 |
| shwaiil | yah :) | 15:50 |
| Nach0z | programming -> Linux <3 | 15:50 |
| Nach0z | seriously | 15:50 |
| e2xistz | phil_phys: Sorry, couldn't help you further. | 15:50 |
| shwaiil | but maybe I'll need win for audio, but I'm not doing audio production I think, at least for a few more months | 15:50 |
| zer0her0 | ok seems to be working, thank you: quiescens, bazhang, & auronandace. | 15:50 |
| nullucas | hi, I'd like to manipulate audio with enough precision, for example to synchronize beats with other beats or voices, stretch music or voices to make them match a video or a certain rhythm, etc. I don't think I can do this easily with audacity. What software could I use? Thanks | 15:50 |
| auronandace | !yay | zer0her0 | 15:51 |
| ubottu | zer0her0: Glad you made it! :-) | 15:51 |
| phil_phys | e2xistz: I think there is a problem on incompatibility | 15:51 |
| zer0her0 | :) | 15:51 |
| * zer0her0 dances ubottu | 15:51 | |
| e2xistz | phil_phys: try turning off quick boot in the bios. | 15:55 |
| atpa8a | grrr | 15:56 |
| atpa8a | what's the deal with the freaking resolvconf?.. it's not updating /etc/resolv.conf even tho i added the dns- lines to /etc/network/interfaces | 15:57 |
| Fyodorovna | phil_phys, you have access to a ubuntu setup already, you probably need to use the nomodeset option, and unetbootin may not let you get to that option easily. | 15:57 |
| dorgan | ok so i've just installed ufw on most of my other servers, all the same version of ubuntu yet when i try to install it on one box i am getting "cp: cannot create regular file `/var/lib/ucf/cache/:etc:ufw:before.rules': Invalid argument" | 15:57 |
| dorgan | any ideas? | 15:58 |
| bazhang | nullucas, something like ardour and/or rosegarden perhaps? | 15:58 |
| Fyodorovna | !nomodeset | phil_phys | 15:58 |
| ubottu | phil_phys: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 15:58 |
| phil_phys | I don't know nomodeset option | 15:58 |
| Fyodorovna | phil_phys, you could could just install with the alternative cd a text install. | 15:59 |
| Fyodorovna | on a usb | 15:59 |
| kury | anyone know where the "sem" command is hidden within the ubuntu packages? | 16:00 |
| bazhang | kury to do what | 16:00 |
| Xabster-lap | How do I change what DNS-server to use in ubuntu 11.10? | 16:00 |
| phil_phys | How can you install alternative cd ubuntu 11.10 i386.iso on a usb? | 16:00 |
| phil_phys | On a windows system i used UNetbootin | 16:01 |
| nullucas | bazhang, yeah, it looks like I need something like Ardour... I haven't tried it though. I'll try it, thanks. | 16:01 |
| Fyodorovna | phil_phys, same use unetbootin, the black scren is a graphic failure probably the alternative does not need it. | 16:01 |
| kury | bazhang: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ProcessManagement#I_want_to_process_a_bunch_of_files_in_parallel.2C_and_when_one_finishes.2C_I_want_to_start_the_next._And_I_want_to_make_sure_there_are_exactly_5_jobs_running_at_a_time. | 16:02 |
| zykotick9 | phil_phys: if you are on gnu/linux you can just cat the iso to the USB (IF its 11.10, older versions aren't hybrid iso/usb images) | 16:02 |
| e2xistz | phil_phys: ASUS netbooks has a bios feature to fast or quick boot by bypassing the bios initializations. Disable that and see if it works. | 16:05 |
| kroonrs | hi. I'm trying to connect my laptop to my monitor with a DVI cable, but when I boot I get a kernel panic. VGA cable works ok. | 16:05 |
| phil_phys | I'm downloading UNetbootin on ubuntu so I can install the iso on a usb | 16:05 |
| zykotick9 | kroonrs: the kernel panic probably isn't related to the DVI cable, just sayin' | 16:05 |
| kury | bazhang: any idea? | 16:06 |
| kroonrs | zykotick9: only thing that changed was swapping out the cable | 16:06 |
| bazhang | kury, sorry no idea | 16:06 |
| zykotick9 | kroonrs: suppose it's possible... i'd still be surprised | 16:06 |
| zykotick9 | kroonrs: unless this is ATI - then all bets are off ;) | 16:07 |
| kroonrs | zykotick9: how do I know if it's ATI? | 16:07 |
| Xabster-lap | How do I change what DNS-server to use in ubuntu 11.10? | 16:07 |
| zykotick9 | kroonrs: "lspci | grep -i vga" | 16:07 |
| zykotick9 | kroonrs: oh, but you can't boot... | 16:07 |
| Fyodorovna | Xabster-lap, I set that in my router personally. | 16:07 |
| kroonrs | zykotick9: I'm booted now - with VGA | 16:08 |
| Xabster-lap | Fyodorovna, i can't - it's not my network | 16:08 |
| kroonrs | it says Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) and nVidia Corporation GF108 [Quadro NVS 4200M] (rev ff) | 16:08 |
| kroonrs | zykotick9: ^ | 16:08 |
| zykotick9 | kroonrs: ahhh you have hybrid intel/nvidia - you need some other software (that i always forget the name of, something with bee in it) | 16:09 |
| kroonrs | zykotick9: bumblebee - installed | 16:09 |
| mneptok | kroonrs: a Dell? | 16:09 |
| kroonrs | mneptok: yes, and a dell monitor | 16:09 |
| dorgan | anyone? | 16:09 |
| mneptok | kroonrs: which video chipset is actually in use? the nVidia or the Intel? | 16:10 |
| zykotick9 | kroonrs: sorry i haven't played with bumblebee at all (don't have that hardware), i really can't assist. good luck. | 16:10 |
| kroonrs | mneptok: enable optimus is checked in the bios. | 16:10 |
| mneptok | kroonrs: try the other chipset? | 16:10 |
| kroonrs | mneptok: ok, will give that a try | 16:11 |

| Fyodorovna | phil_phys, you have the other OS's backed up? | 16:30 |
| mrfunk | olegb: Thank you for your advice, i agree with you, but its been days trying to fix this issue im experiencing and that is my only hope, i wont stop until i make it work, although i do not know how to proceed | 16:32 |
| nmvictor | ikonia: About the PXE guide at this section: /nfsroot 192.168.2.xxx(rw,no_root_squash,async) , I would like to use a wildcard, would this suffice: /nfsroot 192.168.2.*(rw,no_root_squash,async) | 16:32 |
| MonkeyDust | mrfunk such a patch is more something for advanced users, who don't have to ask how to do it | 16:32 |

| olegb | mrfunk: you could read patch(1) for a start and the get the code you want to patch | 16:36 |
| zykotick9 | MadsRC: you're hitting a limitation on fuse/gvfs/etc. you can put your SAMBA mounts in fstab and have them mount as properly as smb can on gnu/linux. (ps because it's samba i can't help further, samba doesn't use regular gnu/linux mount options) | 16:36 |
| MonkeyDust | mrfunk better ask in the channel #winehq as the link also has its origin in winehq | 16:37 |
| bingomania | ok i'm confused.... i just had gparted running no issues just a second ago and now it wont even start | 16:37 |
| bingomania | it just crashes | 16:37 |
| nmvictor | Is it possible to boot my remastered Ubuntu across the network using PXE. | 16:38 |
| mrfunk | olegb: someone is helping me out, thanks anyways MonkeyDust | 16:38 |
| Fyodorovna | bingomania, just reboot the cd that may get it working. | 16:39 |
| bingomania | Fyodorovna: did no luck | 16:40 |
| bingomania | 4 or 5 times now | 16:40 |
| bingomania | it literally JUST worked seconds ago | 16:40 |
| bingomania | i've used this image so many times too | 16:40 |
| fission6 | i have a user i ssh as, i want a colleague to be able to ssh as them too - would i just have them generate an ssh and add it to the remote user? | 16:41 |
| bingomania | shouldnt have listened to my boss... he told me to try bootit to see if that could do it, but nope i knew it wouldnt | 16:41 |
| bingomania | now i think that screwed it up somehow | 16:41 |
| bingomania | cuz before bootit it worked then after bootit it didnt work | 16:41 |
| Fyodorovna | bingomania, when you move partitions around which it sounds like you need to do the partition numbers can get out of order, just a heads up. YOu would move the who;e partition to get the unallcated in another place. | 16:42 |
| harshvardhan | hii.. i just installed some updates in my ubntu bt they made it unstable,, how can i restore my system???? | 16:42 |
| mcb_ | fission6: Just create a system user for them and they will be able to ssh. | 16:42 |
| Fyodorovna | harshvardhan, there is no restore. | 16:43 |
| harshvardhan | umm,, is there any way by which i can remove latest installes packeges??? | 16:43 |
| fission6 | mcb_: sorry what? basially i want my colleague to be able to retrieve log files from the system, so i was thinking scp | 16:43 |
| zykotick9 | harshvardhan: apt doesn't support downgrading. all the config scripts are written in one direction -> to upgrade | 16:44 |
| Fyodorovna | harshvardhan, you might consider just describing the actual problem. | 16:44 |
| V_PauAmma_V | Hi: trying to troubleshoot a NFS/NIS problem, and I think I narrowed it down to NIS being misconfigured somehow, but I see nothing obvious in /etc/yp* or /etc/netgroup. http://paste.ubuntu.com/891212/ has the detailed symptoms. Anyone can point me in the right direction? | 16:44 |
| mcb_ | fission6: Just create a reagular user in the system that your colleague need access. | 16:44 |
| harshvardhan | when i login via "ubuntu classic" the screen flickers,, therefore i have to login in "cassic safe" mode.. :( | 16:44 |
| Fyodorovna | harshvardhan, have you looked in additional drivers for anything? | 16:45 |
| fission6 | mcb_: how do i make it so they can only scp to a folder with the log files? | 16:45 |
| fission6 | ideally symlinks to the new users home folder | 16:45 |
| harshvardhan | madeinkobaia, yes i did checked, bt its empty.. | 16:46 |
| mcb_ | fission6: There should be a ton of ways to do that, but you can configure the home directory to the user you will create to the folder that they need access. | 16:46 |
| mustermark_ | can anyone help me debug my wubi installation not starting? | 16:47 |

| shwaiil | Q: any problem on having Ubuntu / win7 running together, not as VM. Wasn't there boot problems because of windows or something ? I need to have win in a new computer :P | 16:50 |
| MonkeyDust | shwaiil did you install windows before or after ubuntu? | 16:51 |
| phil_phys | Is better UNetbootin or usb creator?? | 16:51 |
| Fyodorovna | shwaiil, if you have a standard mbr set up and it is a actual dualboot not a wubi it should be problem free. | 16:51 |
| MonkeyDust | phil_phys depends on what you prefer | 16:51 |
| shwaiil | MonkeyDust: I didnt got the computer yet, but I'll start by installing ubuntu | 16:51 |
| Fyodorovna | phil_phys, use usb creator. | 16:51 |
| MonkeyDust | swex__ | 16:51 |
| mcb_ | shwaiil: I have it herem, and i have no problems.... I installed windows7 first, because of the duum windows bootloader. | 16:51 |
| shwaiil | mcb its better to install win first then ? | 16:52 |
| Fyodorovna | phil_phys, using the creator will alow a easy nomodeset if needed. | 16:52 |
| Fyodorovna | allow* | 16:52 |
| mcb_ | shwaiil: It is easier, as the windows bootloader dont recognize Linux. | 16:52 |
| MonkeyDust | shwaiil install windows first, for it will destroy GRUB if you install it second -- GRUB can be repaired but it's better not to | 16:52 |
| shwaiil | mcb, MonkeyDust so ubuntu installer will do that for me right ? | 16:53 |
| Fyodorovna | shwaiil, depends on your skills reloading the mbr if that is what your using is easy. If you have a choice instal lwindows first | 16:53 |
| MonkeyDust | shwaiil windows recognizes only three OSs: windows, windows and windows | 16:53 |
| mcb_ | shwaiil: Right about that. | 16:53 |
| floridsdorf | hi | 16:53 |
| shwaiil | Fyodorovna: yeah, i'll isntall windows first, if ubuntu does that for me...I'm fine | 16:53 |
| gfc | topic | 16:53 |
| Fyodorovna | MonkeyDust, please don't say repairing grub is a big deal kit can be purged reinstalled and do many things easily. | 16:54 |
| Fyodorovna | it* | 16:54 |
| phil_phys | After I have my alternate on the usb I can install the pendrive on my eee pc? | 16:54 |
| Fyodorovna | phil_phys, install with the pendrive right? | 16:54 |
| phil_phys | Fyodorovna: Yes this kind of netbook have only usb | 16:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Fyodorovna the guy is a beginner | 16:55 |
| Fyodorovna | phil_phys, I believe that eeepc is solid state as well am I right? | 16:55 |
| pb97 | can i know which is the best downloader in GUI | 16:56 |
| MonkeyDust | !best| pb97 | 16:56 |
| ubottu | pb97: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:56 |
| phil_phys | Fyodorovns: eee pc 1101ha | 16:56 |
| Fyodorovna | MonkeyDust, then misinforming is not a god thing, it does not help and is counterproductive to learning, or getting help, bad info sucks. | 16:56 |
| MonkeyDust | Fyodorovna then don't, please | 16:57 |
| profxavier | guys, in nano, on the latest Ubuntu, php isn't highlighted correctly, can I adjust the highlighting in nano ? | 16:57 |
| pb97 | i am not taking polls please dont think that | 16:57 |
| pb97 | ubottu : i just want one good downloader | 16:58 |
| ubottu | pb97: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:58 |
| Fyodorovna | pb97, downloader for what? | 16:59 |
| mcb_ | profxavier: I dont use nano, but you should look in /etc/nanorc | 16:59 |
| pb97 | any url Fyodorovna | 16:59 |
| masen | pb97: have you tried cURL? | 17:00 |
| Fyodorovna | pb97, that makes no sense the browers do it. | 17:00 |
| MonkeyDust | pb97 an URL is an address, what exactly do you mean | 17:00 |
| profxavier | oh, its included already (php) | 17:00 |
| profxavier | perhaps it isnt what I expected, I guess | 17:00 |
| pb97 | masen: no but i will try | 17:01 |
| profxavier | thanks mcb_ | 17:01 |
| masen | i use it for everything http/https/ftp | 17:01 |
| pb97 | MonkeyDust: any link like downloading a pdf file | 17:01 |
| profxavier | can I get someone for 5 mins in PM to discuss file/user permissions please ? | 17:02 |
| bazhang | !permissions > profxavier | 17:02 |
| ubottu | profxavier, please see my private message | 17:02 |
| mcb_ | profxavier: If it is not highloghting the way you want you can custumize it editing /usr/share/nano/php.nanorc | 17:02 |
| MonkeyDust | pb97 'any' link makes no sense, you download torrents in a different way than you download pdf files | 17:02 |
| profxavier | yeah, got it mcb_ thanks again | 17:02 |
| blendedbychris | after installing ubuntu-desktop how can i login to the gui remotely? | 17:02 |
| profxavier | bazhang, i had specific questions | 17:03 |
| masen | MonkeyDust: i download a .torrent exactly the same way i download .pdf | 17:03 |
| profxavier | which is why I asked for someone's time for 5 mins | 17:03 |
| bazhang | profxavier, then ask them here | 17:03 |
| masen | i just open them in different applications | 17:03 |
| profxavier | in case that wasn't clear | 17:03 |
| MonkeyDust | masen yeah, but i mean, the content of the toorent, like a movie or so | 17:03 |
| bazhang | profxavier, eminently, not the way the channel works though | 17:03 |
| pb97 | MonkeyDust: I dont want downloader for torrent files, I already have a good one | 17:03 |
| MonkeyDust | pb97 that was just an example | 17:04 |
| masen | pb97: also have you checked out wget, i believe it's included with ubuntu | 17:04 |

| ghostconn | im so upset lol I just switched from mint 12 to ubuntu 11:10 thinking I would be in for a world of a fun new OS... however I have had nothing but problems!!!!!! what did the developers do to ubuntu 11:10 it's like stripped down hardcore , weighted down with bogus software and pointless apps.. really bad compatibility. slow boot up, EXTREMELY slow shutdowns..... it's almost worse then windows now........ | 18:04 |

| * klync never found a good inventorying solution | 18:05 | |
| mcb_ | pwasek: You can use ocs-inventory for inventory and Nagios to monitor. | 18:06 |

| guntbert | tuxbin: I appreciate your efforts :-) - but I am preparing a lecture involving the minimal CD - and so I was wondering - for instance the "rescue" takes you through a good part of the regular install (including choosing a mirror) until you get the chance to resue anything | 18:20 |

| oCean | guntbert: not exactly what you are looking for, but you could mount the mini.iso (-o loop) to see what actually happens in the various menuoptions | 18:22 |
| guntbert | blendedbychris: normally you don't need the complete desktop environment and for single programs you start ssh -X .... and then you invoke that program on the remote host (try it with xeyes for a start) | 18:23 |
| blendedbychris | guntbert: i see… these guys i'm building this system for just want to be able to use the desktop | 18:24 |

| nmvictor | oCean: Ok the client isnt saying anything about IP address, the progress dots just stop and then the No boot filename ... message kicks in, so yes, i doubt i am reciving the IP on the client. | 18:49 |

| Fyodorovna | nujabes, there is a ubuntu builder available now as well | 19:08 |
| Guinness2702 | mcb_, I though that's what --to-destination did :\ - I'll check it out anyway, thanks | 19:08 |
| blendedbychris | okay i'm going to bug you guys again…. is there not some tutorial on how to setup x11vnc to work like a daemon? | 19:08 |

| pokoko222 | KOHAX well I get the error No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command. | 19:11 |
| ghostconn | much respect | 19:11 |
| zykotick9 | blendedbychris: have you seen the "Accessing your PC over the Internet" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC | 19:11 |
| Black-Ops | nujabes, ya you can select that too, but you can customize Ubuntu, with all the software and every thing | 19:12 |
| Guinness2702 | mcb_ What interface do I use as the source? They don't appear to come in via 'lo' just straight out on eth2 without, it appears, passing that rule | 19:12 |
| zykotick9 | blendedbychris: oh sorry, doesn't really help with you daemon request. sorry. | 19:12 |
| sammmy | Why wouldn't my upstart script not be running (stop/waiting)? | 19:13 |
| nujabes | Black-Ops, haha okay i've had installed for awhile but did know i could do anything really with it | 19:13 |
| blendedbychris | zykotick9: yea i find it odd there isn't some sort of easy way to make this owrk | 19:13 |
| blendedbychris | rdp does it in like 1 click | 19:14 |
| sacarlson | Guinness2702: looks like that line might work, maybe simplify it and see what happens. if --to-destination is lo or 127.0.0.1 I'm not sure that will work. my simple example $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.2.250 | 19:14 |
| Black-Ops | nujabes. ha ha, i use it more often, for making customized ubuntu | 19:14 |
| mcb_ | Guinness2702: lo is just the loopback interface. You use the interface for your LAN. | 19:15 |
| xee | Hi, I have a problem with Ubuntu 11.10 that whenever I record from the mic I get significantly high noise, my voice can be heard but the noise is high and when I reboot into window the noise is not there. | 19:15 |
| Guinness2702 | mcb_ which one? The packets are generated locally | 19:16 |
| nujabes | Black-Ops, aww no way. I've been look for something just like this and had no idea i had it. which language pack is english? | 19:16 |
| SoulRaven | anybody knows any resource explorer for dll and exe files that has been compiled in .net platform?? | 19:16 |

| justdave | I'm on 10.10 attempting to upgrade it to 11.04 (and eventually 11.10), and it seems to have misdetected my monitor and is only offering me 480x320 as a resolution choice, which is too small to see the upgrade window and I can't click on the buttons because they're off-screen. how do I force the resolution higher? | 19:17 |
| Guinness2702 | sacarlson, the from destination are local - i.e. I'm running a browser on my desktop, and also squid on the desktop. I want all packets that any process tries to send to port 80 to go via squid | 19:17 |
| Guinness2702 | nibbler_, wouldn't that then mess up squid's outgoing, legitimate requests on port 80? | 19:18 |
| Black-Ops | is it en? :p | 19:18 |
| Guinness2702 | nibbler_, also, come to think of it, does -o work with PREROUTING? | 19:18 |
| nibbler_ | Guinness2702, -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -d ! $SQUID | 19:19 |
| nibbler_ | Guinness2702, no clue about prerouting, hardly ever used it | 19:19 |
| nibbler_ | Guinness2702, but oyu might be right | 19:19 |
| Guinness2702 | nibbler_, I might get away with it, as I use a proxy, so nothing should go out from squid directly to 80 lol :) | 19:20 |

| MonkeyDust | ghostconn you could use the 3rd party app ubuntu-tweak, but i'm sure there's an "ubuntu-native" way http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 19:23 |
| sacarlson | Guinness2702: sometimes I think too much, I can try 10 posible idea's and maybe find a solution in 5 minits or think about 20 or more posible solutions but try none of them for 2 hours. some times trial and error beats thinking | 19:23 |

| ubottu | doda1: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:40 |
| tuxbin | doda1: try installing gnome 3.0 it might be nicer | 19:40 |
| theadmin | doda1: Try XFCE, it feels like gnome2 | 19:40 |
| MonkeyDust | tuxbin unity is gnome3 with compiz | 19:40 |

| tuxbin | MonkeyDust: understood but sometimes people dont like it...12.04 should allow more customizations | 19:41 |
| MonkeyDust | doda1 then there the channel #ubuntu+1 for you | 19:41 |

| doda1 | i can fix it by booting with nomodeset, that worked in precise daily build, but its just bad user expirience for other folks | 19:48 |

| pjs | iptables rules* | 20:19 |
| JSeymour | I didn't know they were stored *anywhere* by default | 20:20 |
| beandog | yah, they have to be loaded from somewhere | 20:21 |
| beandog | can't remember where, though | 20:21 |
| Glacee | ubuntu precise question | 20:21 |
| beandog | pjs: if you're using ufw, they'll be in /etc/ufw I think | 20:21 |
| Pici | Glacee : Precise/12.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. | 20:22 |
| pjs | beandog, yea looks like there is some default rules that I assume rackspace added as part of their image | 20:22 |
| beandog | pjs: yah I've got a rackspace one too, I already changed mine though. | 20:22 |
| pjs | beandog ahh, gotcha.. thx. sorry, BSD guy so my iptables stuff is way on the edge of my memory :) | 20:22 |
| beandog | pjs: I just ditched theirs and used my custom ones anyway. | 20:23 |
| aibo | hi, how to store 'route add default gw 192.168.0.1' in my '/etc/network/interfaces' what's format? | 20:23 |
| pjs | beandog, well all i need to do is allow port 80, so I'll stick with this for now. To lazy to save the rules, load them at startup, etc. :) | 20:24 |
| llutz | aibo: gateway 192.168.0.1 | 20:24 |
| beandog | pjs: if you use ufw, it'll save it for you | 20:24 |
| beandog | pjs: sec | 20:24 |
| llutz | aibo: "man 5 interfaces" | 20:24 |
| aibo | thx | 20:24 |
| beandog | pjs: ufw allow proto tcp to any port 80; ufw enable | 20:24 |
| beandog | and done | 20:24 |
| === samuel_ is now known as samuel | ||
| beandog | pjs: oh, if you want ssh, don't forget port 22: ufw allow proto tcp to any port 22 | 20:25 |
| pjs | beandog oh beautiful.. thanks man | 20:25 |
| beandog | don't lock yourself out | 20:25 |
| pjs | beandog, yea.. ssh was already added via rackspace I suppose | 20:25 |
| beandog | pjs: well ufw will drop everything by default, so yah, better add that. | 20:25 |
| beandog | well, maybe not *everything* ... but it'd drop ssh | 20:25 |
| pjs | beandog, let me make sure.. | 20:25 |
| beandog | You can always get back in through rackspaces' web admin anyway, but that's a pain. | 20:25 |
| pjs | beandog, yea it's good.. thanks man.. so ufw will auto save this and upon reboot port 80 will be good to go? | 20:26 |
| beandog | pjs: yah, ufw enable will do all the magic for you | 20:26 |
| beandog | pjs: if you want a copy of rackspace's defaults, just for the record, you can do iptables-save | 20:27 |
| pjs | beandog, awesome man.. thanks for the ufw help. first I'm seeing this | 20:27 |
| beandog | that doesn't actually *save* anything, it just prints out the current ruleset that you could run | 20:27 |
| jaha | basic linux question: How do I set a variable from a bash script for that user or current session so that other process can access it? | 20:27 |
| beandog | pjs: yah, like I said, don't forget 22 | 20:27 |
| beandog | jaha: export | 20:28 |
| beandog | export FOO=bar | 20:28 |
| beandog | echo $FOO | 20:28 |
| jaha | does that work within the context of BOTH processes? | 20:28 |
| beandog | jaha: both processes? | 20:28 |
| beandog | it'll only work in the current session you're in | 20:28 |
| pjs | beandog: yup. got 22.. thanks my man! | 20:28 |
| beandog | pjs: have fun | 20:28 |
| beandog | you can use unset to remove the variable, too. unset FOO; echo $FOO | 20:29 |
| jaha | sorry maybe my lingo is wrong, lets say i want to set a variable with 1 bash script, and read that variable with another script | 20:29 |
| beandog | jaha: ah, good question. I dunno, tbh. | 20:29 |
| beandog | jaha: you're usually better off passing variables as arguments, though | 20:29 |
| beandog | bash foo.sh 1 2 3 | 20:30 |
| beandog | etc. | 20:30 |
| jaha | i understand export within the context of a single script, but normally I would write out the results to a file and read it in on the other, trying to get around that if possible | 20:30 |
| beandog | instead of FOO=foo bash foo.sh | 20:30 |
| beandog | jaha: yah, don't write to a file. You could pipe it | 20:30 |
| beandog | well you *could* write to a file. | 20:30 |
| beandog | it's your script :) | 20:30 |
| jaha | beandog: the scripts are independant of eachother, one script setting foo=bar, and another script at will checking what the value of foo is... | 20:33 |
| beandog | jaha: okay. Well, most shell commands / scripts will look for arguments, not variables | 20:34 |
| beandog | foo --bar=baz | 20:34 |
| beandog | etc. | 20:34 |
| beandog | jaha: custom scripts of yours? | 20:34 |
| jaha | yes | 20:34 |
| beandog | jaha: just out of curiosity, are you trying to split separate functions into two shell scripts? | 20:34 |
| beandog | like, both scripts are just executing one function | 20:35 |
| beandog | I ask because bash scripts can actually run functions | 20:36 |
| beandog | er | 20:36 |
| beandog | you can write functions inside them | 20:36 |
| beandog | makes things easy. | 20:36 |

| TheEmpath | hi.. everywhere I go says nohup whatever & will keep a process running even after I exit the shell... of course, that's complete bullshit | 20:43 |
| beandog | TheEmpath: use screen or tmux and detach the session | 20:43 |
| TheEmpath | From my client, I run ssh -t user@host.com '/home/user/runTheNoHupScript.sh'... on the server, /home/user/runTheNoHupScript.sh is 'nohup whatever &' | 20:44 |
| TheEmpath | of course, if I log in as user and then type /home/user/runTheNoHupScript.sh, it works just fine | 20:44 |
| TheEmpath | but if i execute the command via ssh connection, the process doesn't remain active | 20:45 |
| beandog | Hmm | 20:45 |
| beandog | I don't think running nohup inside a script is going to do it | 20:45 |
| TheEmpath | something special occurs when executing a command from the ssh CLI | 20:45 |
| beandog | would probably work if you just did that directly | 20:45 |
| TheEmpath | and, in the field of computers, we should hate special | 20:45 |

| cwood | (recursively grepping) | 20:57 |

| veggteppe | Hey there!:) I am trying to convert and dmg file to img file using dmg2img, however i keep getting an error: Inflation failed. Any idea what is going on ? | 21:02 |
| ratcheer | lprelle: I'm not sure what else might be using it to give the error. | 21:03 |
| lprelle | maybe i should mention, that a have 2 harddrives. on one there is a windows installation and on the other one there is ubuntu | 21:04 |
| erinaceus | veggteppe: Maybe check if it has log somewhere or a verbose option? | 21:04 |
| veggteppe | erinaceus, It does indeed have a verbose option. You want me to pastebin the output? | 21:05 |
| PRINCESS_FLUFF | how can I open a terminal with the path set to whatever directory im looking at ? | 21:05 |
| erinaceus | veggteppe: Do that, altough I'm not expert im at least willing to take a shot at it | 21:05 |
| ratcheer | lprelle: I tried that a long time ago. It didn't work well, at all. Kept screwing up booting of either system. | 21:05 |
| veggteppe | erinaceus, http://pastebin.com/SmkZ4p4Z - Any help is appreciated:) | 21:05 |
| cwood | PRINCESS_FLUFF: That depends entirely on your desktop. (That said I do not know, as I use openbox and no graphical shell.) | 21:05 |
| PRINCESS_FLUFF | I dont know, I installed Ubuntu without changing any options | 21:06 |
| lprelle | ratcheer: bevor reinstalling ubuntu, everything worked well | 21:06 |
| PRINCESS_FLUFF | The latest version | 21:06 |
| cwood | PRINCESS_FLUFF: Mostly I use an xterm for directory navigation and viewing. I use "cd" to change to whatever directory I want to be in. | 21:06 |
| ratcheer | lprelle: I understand, but I do not know what the problem is. | 21:07 |
| cwood | I'm not really up on this snazzy new-age gui stuff. | 21:07 |
| veggteppe | erinaceus, http://pastebin.com/na9yMB2s there is the debug log | 21:07 |
| erinaceus | veggteppe: What exact command are you using? | 21:07 |
| veggteppe | erinaceus, dmg2img <name of file> <name of output> | 21:07 |
| veggteppe | without <> ofcourse.. | 21:07 |

| veggteppe | erinaceus, Tried sudoing the son of a b***, incase it was a permissions error. No luck :P | 21:08 |
| lprelle | ratcheer: is it possible that grub got problem cause i updated my last ubuntu installation from 10.04 to 12.10 and the current installation is 10.04 again? | 21:08 |
| mobiusstripper | hi, so I want to enable Chinese and Japanese interface for other user of the system. In the "Language Support" setting,, | 21:09 |
| erinaceus | veggteppe: try dmg2img -s -i input.file -o output.file | 21:09 |
| mobiusstripper | after I installed the language support, I moved them between English (US) and English | 21:09 |
| mobiusstripper | but when I log out and log back-in, the interface became Chinese. | 21:09 |
| mobiusstripper | Shouldn't English (US) still takes highest pririty? | 21:10 |
| veggteppe | erinaceus, Tried that now, still having an inflation error | 21:10 |
| cwood | mobiusstripper: Sounds like your system is set to one locale. | 21:10 |
| cwood | And your system's default locale is different from your own. | 21:10 |
| mobiusstripper | cwood, when I typed locale in shell, I get LANG=en_US.UTF-8 | 21:10 |
| erinaceus | veggteppe: Broken dmg is out of question i guess? | 21:11 |
| mobiusstripper | so I am not sure why the interface is in Chinese.. | 21:11 |
| veggteppe | erinaceus, Indeed, tried several different ones, hoping everyones not corrupted. lol ^; | 21:11 |
| cwood | Do you have a bunch of LC_* environment variables? Maybe they're in your shell config scripts but not your xorg session configs (like your .xsession or whatever Ubuntu uses). | 21:11 |
| veggteppe | erinaceus, is there any way to burn a bootable .dmg "out of the box" of a program on linux ? | 21:11 |
| erinaceus | veggteppe: Sorry, thats out of my league. But im guessing you are trying to write the dmg on a disk? | 21:12 |
| veggteppe | erinaceus, Aye, attempting to write the dmg on a disk indeed | 21:12 |
| veggteppe | erinaceus, Gonna try to run it straight out of brasero, and see where that gets me with a hardboot on the mac | 21:13 |
| beandog | sammmy: was afk, any luck? | 21:13 |
| mobiusstripper | cwood, all the LC_ are en_US.UTF-8 | 21:13 |
| mobiusstripper | cwood, with quotation mark, I belive because their values are inherited from LANG | 21:13 |
| mobiusstripper | cwood, there is also this: LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB:zh_HK:zh_TW:zh_CN:ja:en | 21:14 |
| cwood | mobiusstripper: That's in a terminal, though. | 21:14 |
| mobiusstripper | cwood, how would I checked my LC* if not in the terminal? | 21:14 |
| sammmy | beandog: w/e I don't care | 21:14 |
| cwood | Not really sure how locales work, but it seems that of the available locales your shell chooses en_us and your DE chooses zh. | 21:14 |
| beandog | sammmy: no luck? | 21:15 |
| cwood | Unfortunately this is about as much help as I can be with locales, sorry. | 21:15 |
| sammmy | beandog: I'm on break now, but no | 21:15 |

| beandog | sammmy: oh, well, if you're just running it *manually* then you can run it in a loop | 21:22 |
| beandog | and just keep it running | 21:22 |
| beandog | that'd be easy enough | 21:22 |

| almoxarife | tom95: how about that nice 'volume' icon ? | 21:24 |
| tom95 | almoxarife: what do you mean? | 21:24 |
| keithzz | Hi, I bought a usb/serial adapter based on PL2303X and not PL2303. Now before I apply some of the patches that I found on the net to make PL2303X recognised, I wanted to update my kernel. I found this website http://www.unixmen.com/upgrade-your-kernel-the-safe-way-in-ubuntu-linuxmint/ to teach me to do so..Is this a good procedure? and to what version you advise me to upgrade? | 21:25 |
| almoxarife | tom95: I mean the 'icon' associated with 'volume' on the panel | 21:25 |
| tom95 | almoxarife: well, it doesn't allow you to set your volume from a program written in vala for example | 21:26 |

| guntbert | TheEmpath: try to use nohup too | 21:39 |
| beandog | right. i wouldn't run it in the shell script | 21:39 |
| beandog | I'd run it as the SSH command | 21:39 |

| zmaj | hi... does anybady know how to install old ATI ( RV50 ) under new Ubuntu (12.04) ? | 21:46 |
| vlt | erinaceus: I need a little more detail to remember everything. | 21:46 |
| vlt | erinaceus: You messed with grub, right? | 21:46 |
| erinaceus | vlt: I destroyed my partition table tryning to reinstall grub | 21:46 |
| beandog | what | 21:46 |
| beandog | how is that even possible | 21:46 |
| llew21 | OK I am trying to recover a broken raid array that used a hardware controller. I have attached the 2 hard disks to my ubuntu box and they appear as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb so I have used sudo dmsetup create Foo --table /home/mark/Documents/mytable.txt | 21:46 |
| llew21 | where the table contains one line: 0 819200 striped 2 32 /dev/hda 0 /dev/hdb 0 .The disks are 400Mb each. when I run this command it returns: Invalid format on line 1 of table | 21:46 |
| llew21 | Command failed. I have checked everything and cant see where Ive gone wrong. Thanks | 21:46 |
| erinaceus | vlt: Yep, after that all i could see was /dev/sdc , neither gparted nor ddrescue were able to access the hdd | 21:46 |
| vlt | erinaceus: Ok, you booted from live CD? | 21:47 |
| erinaceus | vlt: Right | 21:47 |
| erinaceus | vlt: And there i could access sdc and choose "Create Partition Table" | 21:47 |
| vlt | erinaceus: I think I suggested making an image first. | 21:47 |
| vlt | erinaceus: You ran ddrescue for two days now? | 21:48 |
| erinaceus | vlt: Yep, but that didnt work, ddrescue wasnt able to access the hdd | 21:48 |
| erinaceus | vlt: Yep | 21:48 |
| zmaj | hi... does anybady know how to install old ATI ( RV50 ) under new Ubuntu (12.04) ? | 21:48 |

| vlt | erinaceus: SATA? | 21:48 |

| Akiva | portable harddrive not auto mounting, and I can't find it in media. | 21:49 |
| vlt | erinaceus: I think you should stop ddrescue (if still running) and reboot. | 21:49 |
| beandog | TheEmpath: working? | 21:49 |
| vlt | erinaceus: Let’s see what your kernel thinks about the disk NOW. | 21:49 |
| erinaceus | vlt: Hopeing it will recognize the hdd? | 21:49 |
| JesseC | So, to make newer broadcom network cards work that use the tg3, you have to compile the driver manually, install it, and do a modprobe tg3 after every reboot to make the card work. Does anybody know if there are any other work around for this? | 21:49 |
| beandog | JesseC: you can have it loaded by default on boot easy enough | 21:50 |

| sleepybug | I should say, in a folder that is the source code of a program im trying to compile | 21:52 |
| TheEmpath | beandog: but I wanna know how... if I nohup on the ssh exec script which then launches the actual node server (and then detaches it), does that mean things will still work as I intend them to? | 21:52 |
| JesseC | sleepybug: make sure there are no spaces in the directory you are in | 21:52 |

| jesco | is it possible to 'open as admin' in 12.04 nautilus??? | 21:52 |
| JesseC | I had that same issue half an hour ago | 21:52 |
| TheEmpath | Aww no rep bot :( | 21:52 |
| sleepybug | JesseC there arent | 21:52 |
| jesco | is | 21:52 |
| sleepybug | JesseC do you have any experience with compiling in linux? If so would you mind if I pm'd you? | 21:53 |
| JesseC | sleepybug: ah well then the other guys probably have better ideas than I do. | 21:53 |
| beandog | TheEmpath: the only time you should need to run nohup is with the SSH command... you can take it out of the shell script you are executing | 21:53 |
| jesco | is it possible to 'open as admin' in 12.04 nautilus??? | 21:53 |
| beandog | sleepybug: which program | 21:53 |
| JesseC | sleepybug: I don't, I just happened to have a similar error message earlier that I randomly fixed on accident. | 21:53 |
| JesseC | haha | 21:53 |
| sleepybug | beandog: wubi | 21:53 |
| TheEmpath | beandog: just need to make sure that if node tosses a life crippling exception that would bring down the server, nohup goes "OH NO YOUS DONT!" | 21:53 |
| almoxarife | jesco: yes, using the plugins | 21:54 |
| beandog | sleepybug: wait, whut? you're trying to build wubi from source? | 21:54 |
| jesco | almoxarife: which ones... cant find it | 21:54 |
| sleepybug | beandog: yeah, I edited one of the reference iso files to download a different distro | 21:54 |
| beandog | TheEmpath: uh, I dunno about that. It won't prevent the process from dying if something bad happens, but it will run in the background | 21:54 |
| beandog | sleepybug: oh, dunno then. | 21:55 |
| TheEmpath | i thought nohup meant nohangup, meaning ignore things like sigterm and the like | 21:55 |
| beandog | TheEmpath: I'm pretty sure you're right, and good to go | 21:56 |
| TheEmpath | well no matter, i'll be moving onto forever soon anyways | 21:56 |

| beandog | Zaitzev: sorry, what? | 22:30 |
| beandog | Zaitzev: use nvidia's drivers | 22:30 |
| Zaitzev | oh wait, sorry. it was tbruff13 who offered I think :) | 22:30 |
| beandog | Doxin: no | 22:30 |
| beandog | Doxin: no wait, you could restart X11 | 22:30 |
| beandog | Doxin: that'd still be a pain th ough | 22:31 |
| Zaitzev | beandog: I had them, the problem occured, now I don't have them, the problem is still occurring. | 22:31 |
| Doxin | beandog: thought so, nvm then. | 22:31 |
| Zaitzev | weird thing is, it just disappeared last night when a guy in here said I could try LXDE to see if it helped. It sort of did, but I went back to Unity. The problem disappeared, right up until half an hour ago. | 22:32 |

| kofman | am I missing a step? | 22:40 |
| fellayaboy | and it will change my mac everytime i start up my machineA? | 22:40 |
| beandog | fellayaboy: well usually you only change it once. | 22:41 |
| dysoco | fellayaboy, you can write an script and use macchanger | 22:41 |
| dysoco | actually, that's a cool idea | 22:41 |
| fellayaboy | is there a sudo apt-get install way of dooing it | 22:41 |
| beandog | fellayaboy: sudo aptitude -y install macchanger | 22:41 |
| beandog | like that? | 22:41 |
| fellayaboy | yeah that didnt seem to work though | 22:42 |
| dysoco | apt-cache search macchanger | 22:42 |

| bluetuga | hi. my system after going to sleep mode restarts a second later. is there a solution? | 22:50 |
| vook | Does anyone know of a modern ubuntu(/based) distribution (live cd/dvd) that boots to gnome, not unity? | 22:51 |
| Oer | !nounity | 22:51 |
| 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 | 22:51 |

| vook | arand: yes, I'd love to use the debian live instead (this is for a presentation where I'll be distributing live dvd's to 30 people). Unforunately I'd prefer something that bundles some non-gnu items (such as broadcom firmware, etc..) | 22:53 |

| vook | Oer, I'd like something that boots to gnome but actually has an 'applications' menu (sorted by type, all inclusive, as is generally standard with gnome). | 22:55 |
| bittin | http://g.co/maps/ww3rh not that long of a walk | 22:55 |

| gamafish | I do not know how to use tar.bz2 files. It is for a visual novel. | 22:56 |

| === Guest40001 is now known as codepal | ||
| vook | gamafish: you may be able to just right click or double click on the file. An example would be as I mentioned above. Basically the .bz2 represents that the file is compressed, the .tar, that it's an archive (tape archive). Just navigate to the folder where the file resides using 'cd' and then type 'tar xf filename.tar.bz2' (where filename is the name of the file). | 23:01 |

| Kruge | Ah | 23:03 |
| mkultra_ | really? | 23:03 |

| theShadow- | hi | 23:05 |
| theShadow- | quick question | 23:05 |
| theShadow- | when I install an appplication from the ubuntu software center | 23:05 |
| theShadow- | where does it actually put the files? | 23:05 |
| vook | gamafish: basically yes, but the contents will be extracted to the current directory, you may wish to actually navigate to /home/Name/desktop, or use the --directory option, i.e. 'tar /home/Name/desktop/filename.tar.bz2 --directory /home/Name' etc... | 23:06 |
| theShadow- | and if I download an app through other means, should I put it in the same place?> | 23:06 |
| beandog | theShadow-: if you download from somewhere else, it should come in a .deb which will tell it where to install things on the filesystem | 23:06 |
| theShadow- | it didn't | 23:06 |
| gamafish | I tried treating it like a tgzr files by right clicking and giving a it admin permission. | 23:06 |
| beandog | theShadow-: what are you trying to install | 23:07 |
| theShadow- | blender | 23:07 |
| theShadow- | the version on the software center is out of date | 23:07 |
| vook | theShadow-: files are scattered in various places depending on the package. If you compile a package from source, or install via a different method, software will be sent elsewhere (such as /usr/local, or /opt) | 23:07 |
| theShadow- | can I make an applications folder, for standalone apps? | 23:08 |
| theShadow- | blender came with everything it needs in 1 folder | 23:08 |
| vook | theShadow-: /opt is the standard folder for standalone apps | 23:08 |
| theShadow- | ok | 23:08 |
| plurrtard | Is there a way I can grep for files that start with either a space or newline character? | 23:09 |
| bluetuga | sleep mode is not working . any fix? | 23:10 |
| SumoJim | So, I installed rsh-server through synaptic, yet "which rshd" returns nothing and does not exist in /sbin/ or /usr/sbin/ am I missing something? | 23:10 |
| lahwran | plurrtard: not with grep, that I know of | 23:10 |
| beandog | plurrtard: yah | 23:11 |
| beandog | lemme think a second | 23:11 |
| beandog | crap | 23:11 |
| SumoJim | plurrtard: Did you try using an escape character like grep "/ pattern"? | 23:12 |
| theShadow- | ugh | 23:12 |
| SumoJim | (Just a guess) | 23:12 |
| lahwran | SumoJim: he wants to search for newlines | 23:12 |
| theShadow- | dont have permission to put stuff in opt | 23:12 |
| lahwran | theShadow-: why are you "installing" blender? | 23:12 |
| lahwran | theShadow-: just stick it in your homedir and doubleclick | 23:13 |
| theShadow- | but thats retarded | 23:13 |
| lahwran | suit yourself | 23:13 |
| theShadow- | with that mentality, im going to get so disorganized so fast | 23:13 |
| haz3lnut | I use ~/opt for that kind of stuff | 23:13 |
| beandog | | grep "^ " | 23:13 |
| lahwran | so organize it | 23:13 |
| beandog | but that doesn't seem quite right. | 23:13 |
| lahwran | beandog: that will search if there are any lines starting with space in the file | 23:13 |
| lahwran | theShadow-: but it doesn't need to go in /opt | 23:14 |
| theShadow- | i made a folder | 23:15 |
| theShadow- | called applications | 23:15 |
| lahwran | theShadow-: personally I'm horrible beyond horrible at organization | 23:15 |
| === Sergevg is now known as svg | ||
| lahwran | but if you want to organize, there's no reason to use root-owned directories to do it | 23:16 |
| theShadow- | I just want to do things right from the start is all | 23:16 |
| theShadow- | and it seems like ubuntu doesnt want me too | 23:16 |
| lahwran | there is nothing explicitly "right" about /opt | 23:16 |
| lahwran | /opt is more for people who are making packages of standalone apps | 23:17 |
| lahwran | which will be installed by root | 23:17 |
| jrib | theShadow-: "right" is to use a .deb | 23:17 |
| jrib | theShadow-: having said that, there's nothing wrong with just putting the app in your home if it's only your user using it anyway and you can't find a proper .deb | 23:18 |
| theShadow- | I'm normally an OSX user | 23:18 |
| theShadow- | so I'm used to a different way of doing things | 23:18 |
| lahwran | it's not horribly different | 23:19 |
| theShadow- | it kind of is | 23:19 |

| tbruff13 | beandog that is just it when i run xev and hit fn nothing happens | 23:34 |
| beandog | tbruff13: well, crap. That's annoying. | 23:34 |
| SumoJim | beandog: Output of dpkg -L rsh-server here: http://codepad.org/J8zMkcOY | 23:34 |
| tbruff13 | only when i hit fn+F12 does keycode 171 pop up | 23:34 |
| beandog | tbruff13: does hitting just F12 bring up the same keycode? | 23:34 |
| beandog | SumoJim: /usr/sbin/in.rshd looks like it | 23:34 |
| SumoJim | beandog: Hmm, I see a in.rshd, I wonder what that is. | 23:34 |
| beandog | SumoJim: there's man pages installed for them too, so maybe try man in.rshd | 23:35 |
| beandog | I'm not familiar with it, so .. yah | 23:35 |
| SumoJim | beandog, so I have to call it as in.rshd? Can I rename it? | 23:35 |

| Drewch | nibbler_ yea I set the right IP, I am not on that network right now so I can't ping it from this computer. But set up static ip on my mac just before unplugging my mac and trying on ubuntu server | 23:39 |
| Drewch | nibbler_ it is a static ip line, so I was only testing on one computer, then the other | 23:39 |
| beandog | red_one: well either way, it's probably just spawning stuff | 23:39 |
| SumoJim | beandog: Yea, looks like I am able to rsh just fine. Thank you. | 23:40 |
| beandog | SumoJim: cool | 23:40 |
| Drewch | I'm using the /etc/network/interfaces file to do it | 23:40 |
| nibbler_ | Drewch, ah okay. so you get a link on the network (link up in dmesg, greed led at the plug) but cannot ping anything? | 23:40 |
| nibbler_ | Drewch, can you nopaste the output of: route -n;ifconfig -a | 23:41 |
| tbruff13 | beandog, i am not finding anything at | 23:41 |
| tbruff13 | all | 23:41 |
| tbruff13 | beandog, sadly this is kind a massive issue for me | 23:41 |
| Drewch | nibbler_ dmesg is saying link up, but just above that line it says eth0 promiscuous mode (which is kind odd), and yes green led at the plug | 23:41 |
| nibbler_ | Drewch, promiscous mode is entered if you call tcpdump without a specific switch for example... | 23:42 |
| beandog | tbruff13: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Aspire_One it has keycodes for function keys | 23:43 |
| dfdfdf | it's my freind =http://www.xlovecam.com/sex-cam-hot-live-bebessa-jeunesfemmes-22-ans-80293.html | 23:43 |
| Drewch | nibbler_ do you have twitter, I can tweet you the output | 23:44 |

| CFHowlett | Drewch ach. you're right. sorry, drt (didn't read thread) | 23:45 |
| Drewch | no worries | 23:45 |
| nibbler_ | Drewch, make a picture and upload it ;-) | 23:45 |
| Drewch | I had a picture but can i just tweet it to you its easier lol | 23:45 |
| tbruff13 | beandog, you are a guru | 23:46 |
| tbruff13 | :) | 23:46 |
| beandog | tbruff13: let's just say I've broken everything that can be broken, and more. | 23:46 |
| beandog | tbruff13: put them in an .xmodmap file (can't remember the exact name) and it'll get sourced at login | 23:47 |
| beandog | well, it should. | 23:47 |
| tbruff13 | beandog, can you answer another question for me | 23:48 |
| beandog | tbruff13: dunno, whats up | 23:48 |
| tbruff13 | beandog, when ever i run banshee in kde it worked at first | 23:48 |
| Drewch | nibbler_ : http://imagebin.org/204437 | 23:49 |
| tbruff13 | as soon as i told it to use the notification icon it crashed and will not start back up | 23:49 |
| beandog | tbruff13: okay | 23:49 |
| Drewch | nibbler_ Nvm fixed the problem haha | 23:49 |
| beandog | tbruff13: open a terminal and see if you have a directory "~/.config/banshee" | 23:49 |
| flash_ | Hi guys. Is there a command I can run that will show me in real time when my computer gets ping'ed? | 23:49 |
| flash_ | Or any incoming connections? | 23:49 |
| beandog | flash_: iptables logging, is one option | 23:49 |
| beandog | I'm sure there's lots more | 23:50 |
| nibbler_ | Drewch, good ;-) | 23:50 |
| jbreher | Help req: installed 10.10 server, then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Now my admin/root password works in shell, but not in GUI. How to fix? | 23:50 |
| nibbler_ | flash_, iptables might be best shot, but tcpdump or whatever using libpcap would do, too | 23:50 |
| beandog | tbruff13: oh, looks like it may be ~/.config/banshee-1 | 23:51 |
| tbruff13 | checking | 23:51 |
| nibbler_ | Drewch, so, what was the problem? | 23:51 |
| Drewch | nibbler_ i had to disable dhcp client completely | 23:51 |
| tbruff13 | i have it | 23:51 |
| beandog | tbruff13: just delete it | 23:52 |
| nibbler_ | Drewch, ah okay ;-) | 23:52 |
| tbruff13 | beandog, that will bring banshee back but how do i get a notifcation icon | 23:52 |
| Drewch | nibbler_ i have eucalyptus node controller set up, which has that interface br0 in the picture, and it was trying to do dhcp on eth0 even though I was setting it manually | 23:52 |
| Drewch | nibbler_ so once I took down eucalyptus and br0 down , it just worked | 23:52 |
| beandog | tbruff13: well it sounds like KDE isn't happy with it. You could try it again, see what it does. *shrug* Can't really say much more than that. :T | 23:52 |
| Drewch | stupid dhcp | 23:52 |
| tbruff13 | beandog, ok with the multimedia key then there is no keycode for skip song | 23:53 |
| nibbler_ | Drewch, be carefull with devices directly connected to the internet | 23:53 |
| tbruff13 | but i know it it is 171 | 23:53 |
| tbruff13 | but what is skip song called xf86....' | 23:53 |
