| mkultra_ | fairly sure | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| gasti | ActionParsnip: Done, and finally could execute update-grub. | 00:00 |
| lisa_ | mkultra_: so I press lt + ctl + f2, and then type killall gdm && startx ? | 00:00 |
| mkultra_ | you could also run sudo apt-get install xfce4 and run startxfce | 00:00 |
| lisa_ | mkultra_: brb gone to try it. | 00:00 |
| mkultra_ | yeah you should kill your crashing gdmal | 00:00 |
| mkultra_ | alt ctl f7 takes u back | 00:00 |
| mkultra_ | or f8 | 00:01 |
| mkultra_ | f7 4 me | 00:01 |
| lisa_ | mkultra_: i dont want xfce. i want ghnome as normal | 00:02 |
| lisa_ | I got a big problem guys.. I created an image using Clonezilla. And then when I went to reboot Ubuntu it loops at the login page.. I enter my password, i see black screen with text for 2 seconds and it loops back to login page! What can I do? All options in Safe Mode didnt help | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | gasti: reboot to test | 00:03 |
| lisa_ | any fix for a looping login page? | 00:03 |
| gasti | ActionParsnip: Ok , be right back. | 00:03 |
| mkultra_ | you might want to run sudo apt-get install gdm if you have lightdm and default to gdm | 00:03 |
| lisa_ | mkultra_: you are confusing me | 00:04 |
| lisa_ | mkultra_: i installed Ubuntu 11.10 yesterday. How I fix it? | 00:04 |
| abhatnag | hey guys, almost every other time I start my oneiric, I get a "wireless device not ready". I then have to restart to try my luck again. Is there a fix for this issue? | 00:04 |
| mkultra_ | your login page is either gdm ldm xdm or kdm... if ldm fails, try gdm | 00:04 |
| Scunizi | How do I run a .pyw file/program ?? I've changed the permissions and set the execute bit. Double clicking in the directory doesn't do it | 00:04 |
| wylde | mkultra_: ldm != lightdm | 00:04 |
| lisa_ | mkultra_: its a fresh 11.10 install. do you know what command I should be typing? | 00:04 |
| mkultra_ | yeah sudo apt-get install gdm | 00:04 |
| lisa_ | wylde: any ideas? | 00:05 |
| mkultra_ | that will turn LDM off and GDM on | 00:05 |
| mkultra_ | im on 12.04 but its very similar to 11.10 and i run GDM | 00:05 |
| exutux | lisa_: where did you save clonezilla image? on your home? | 00:05 |
| lisa_ | mkultra_: so whats the command? | 00:05 |
| mkultra_ | "sudo apt-get install gdm" | 00:05 |
| wylde | lisa_: are you able to login to your account if you use ctrl+alt+f1 and enter login credentials? | 00:05 |
| lisa_ | exutux: onto my external hard drive. | 00:05 |
| abhatnag | Scunizi: try going 'python filename.pyw' | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: what does the file command say it is? | 00:06 |
| lisa_ | wylde: no, it loops back to login page | 00:06 |
| Lirth | In ubuntu, using the preinstalled LibreOffice, how do I change the default language? It's on English (UK) and I need it for English (USA). | 00:06 |
| exutux | lisa_: uhm are you sure? try ctrl+alt+f1 login and type df -h look for device space | 00:06 |
| wylde | lisa_: from terminal? | 00:06 |
| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: it's a program my son made | 00:06 |
| gasti | ActionParsnip: Same. Delay in videos when stopping/resuming, and heavy noise at mic recording. | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: fine, but what does file say the file type is | 00:06 |
| lisa_ | exutux: 100%, its saved the image to external hard drive | 00:06 |
| snail_ | Hi. I have a nub queston, sorry for this, but google can't help me. What is first number in "Version" string in "aptitude show package_name" output? For example "Version: 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.5" what is 2? | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | gasti: ok, remove the option and rerun the update-grub | 00:06 |
| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: python 3.2 file | 00:06 |
| exutux | lisa_: well try | 00:07 |
| wylde | lisa_: ctrl+alt+f1 will take you to a bare terminal, are you able to login from there | 00:07 |
| gasti | ActionParsnip: what option? | 00:07 |
| lisa_ | but why would doing an image using Clonzilla cause my ubuntu login screen to loop? | 00:07 |
| lisa_ | wylde: let me try that, brb | 00:07 |
| wylde | lisa_: no idea, but are you able to login from tty1 | 00:07 |
| wylde | ok | 00:07 |
| lisa_ | whats tt1? | 00:07 |
| exutux | lisa_: try ctrl+alt+f1 login and type df -h look for device space | 00:07 |
| mkultra_ | clearly it altered something important | 00:08 |
| mkultra_ | and it needs repaired | 00:08 |
| lisa_ | mkultra_: how do I repeair it? | 00:08 |
| mkultra_ | hows that alt + ctl + f2 gdm coming along | 00:08 |
| mkultra_ | alt + ctrl + f2 | 00:08 |
| mkultra_ | sudo apt-get install gdm | 00:08 |
| mkultra_ | = repair | 00:08 |
| lisa_ | i followed this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7ywkc4LU10 | 00:08 |
| mkultra_ | or ldm re-install | 00:09 |
| wylde | lisa_: it's just like a big terminal with no gui. Let us know if you can login that way. | 00:09 |
| mkultra_ | but id purge it first and then reinstall it | 00:09 |
| exutux | well good luck lisa_ | 00:09 |
| lisa_ | Clonezilla worked well, created an image onto my external hdd. but now Ubuntu loops at login page | 00:09 |
| wylde | mkultra_: lightdm is not the same thing as ldm | 00:09 |
| mkultra_ | ok so then theres lightdm and ldm then | 00:09 |
| lisa_ | but how can creating an image mess with the source? | 00:09 |
| mkultra_ | but still GDM would log her in and link up properly upon install | 00:09 |
| lisa_ | the only thing it may be is using 0 at spliting image? | 00:09 |
| lisa_ | so what commands do i try again? please repost | 00:10 |
| wylde | lisa_: worrying about how right now isn't helping fix anything. PLease try using ctrl+alt+f1 and let us know if you can login there. | 00:10 |
| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: I needed python 3.2 and -tk amoung other stuff to get it to run.. thanks | 00:10 |
| sheenzz | my browser isn't opening, why? | 00:10 |
| lisa_ | wylde: ok beb | 00:10 |
| lisa_ | brb | 00:10 |
| keith_linux123 | hi all | 00:10 |
| keith_linux123 | can I run a server on top of desktop linux ? | 00:11 |
| mkultra_ | hi | 00:11 |
| mkultra_ | yes | 00:11 |
| mkultra_ | i run apache and talk to you from my apache server | 00:11 |
| CFHowlett | keith_linux123 yep | 00:11 |
| mkultra_ | i run a ntp server too | 00:11 |
| keith_linux123 | ok, the federoa channel called me stupid for saying that | 00:11 |
| keith_linux123 | since I really really need a GUI | 00:11 |
| wylde | keith_linux123: it runs more "under" the desktop then on top :P | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | keith_linux123: you can run server services in the desktop OS if you want | 00:12 |
| mkultra_ | they use RPM dont trust them | 00:12 |
| keith_linux123 | I plan on runing this in a VM too | 00:12 |
| gasti | ActionParsnip: I tried to change the line but when i run sudo update-grub it comes with /etc/default/grub: 35: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution. Pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/899840/ | 00:12 |
| CFHowlett | keith_linux123 doable ... | 00:12 |
| keith_linux123 | like last night I had it set up just fine | 00:12 |
| keith_linux123 | all it runs is a very small database appp | 00:13 |
| Mony | keith_linux123, you can, but the question do u want to? because i assume you are talking about your desktop pc. you know the one that u may crash or restart or anything | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | keith_linux123: why bother? just run the services on the desktop OS, it will use your hardware less as you are not running 2 OSes | 00:13 |
| keith_linux123 | well, I want to be able to save states | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | gasti: change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=.quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | 00:13 |
| keith_linux123 | backup , ect | 00:13 |
| keith_linux123 | i'm testing it at home | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | keith_linux123: ah then yes states are handy :) | 00:14 |
| keith_linux123 | but this is for small bussinesses | 00:14 |
| wylde | gasti: line 11 .quiet should be "quiet | 00:14 |
| keith_linux123 | like many of them need some low impact databases | 00:14 |
| Mony | for testing its ok, but for anything "production" its far from ok | 00:14 |
| snail_ | Hi. I have a nub queston, sorry for this, but google can't help me. What is first number in "Version" line in "aptitude show package_name" output exactly mean? For example "Version: 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.5" what is 2? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | gasti: exactly the same as last time you had to edit it, wasn't that a little obvious...? | 00:14 |
| Basstard` | What text editors have crash recovery? | 00:14 |
| gasti | ActionParsnip: Sorry, lol. Now worked. Still have the same problems with delay and heavy noise. | 00:15 |
| samantha-a-- | how easy is it to get desktop running with three heads? i'm using a pair of EVGA GTX 460SEs, 1st gen. | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Basstard`: gedit makes backups with tildes on the end of file names I believe, libreoffice does too | 00:15 |
| mkultra_ | easy as pie for 2, dont imagine 3 being much different | 00:15 |
| Basstard` | ActionParsnip: gedit only does that to already saved/named files, not to totally new files which have never been saved | 00:16 |
| Mony | mkultra_, if i remmeber correct nvidia cards can support up to 2 displays each, so the 3rd should be connected to the second card. | 00:16 |
| keith_linux123 | much thanks everyone | 00:16 |
| _Marcus | How do I drag a window from one desktop to another? | 00:17 |
| _Marcus | Workspace I mean | 00:17 |
| research4oscar | i am getting the following error when trying to connect to my ubuntu machine from my laptop using winscp: Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? | 00:17 |
| keith_linux123 | each time I ask a question in the fedora chanel I hear "blah blah, terminal , terminal " | 00:17 |
| _Marcus | I cant see the top part, so it's harder to drag | 00:17 |
| keith_linux123 | _Marcus | 00:17 |
| keith_linux123 | just drag it ! | 00:17 |
| keith_linux123 | over | 00:17 |
| _Marcus | keith_linux123: Get used to using the terminal, it's very, very important | 00:17 |
| wylde | _Marcus: you can right click on the title bar and select "Send to workspace ...." | 00:18 |
| _Marcus | I cant see the title bar | 00:18 |
| _Marcus | Never mind, I got it | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | keith_linux123: its handy to know some terminal stuff, plus irc is a text interface so giving commands makes sense | 00:18 |
| Artemis3 | research4oscar, do you have installed the package "ssh" ? or "openssh-server"? | 00:18 |
| keith_linux123 | yea, but they were rude about it | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | keith_linux123: plus it alleviates user error for clicking the wrong thing, or not finding what needs to be clicked | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | keith_linux123: yeah rude isn't cool | 00:19 |
| keith_linux123 | like I know alot of Linux vets hate the new GUI based distros, but still | 00:19 |
| keith_linux123 | tell me that I have no idea what i'm doing sense I found an easier way... | 00:19 |
| garthk | Grabbing linux-headers-2.6.32-40_2.6.32-40.87_all.deb is slow from utah.edu, too? Weeeeird. | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | keith_linux123: easier is good, as long as it achieves the same goal who cares :D | 00:20 |
| keith_linux123 | anyway, VM vs hardware for sever ? | 00:20 |
| gasti | ActionParsnip: Any idea? | 00:20 |
| keith_linux123 | advantage of VM , a client doesn't need a new computer to run | 00:20 |
| research4oscar | artemis3: yes. i can connect with my regular user just fine. | 00:20 |
| keith_linux123 | advantage of hardware, more stable | 00:20 |
| lisa_ | it didfnt work | 00:21 |
| lisa_ | it keeps looping | 00:21 |
| lisa_ | and installing gdm messed it right now.. now says cannot update ICRauthority | 00:21 |
| research4oscar | artemis3: i created another webuser with limited access to a folder under var/www and assigned him as owner. | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | gasti: all I can suggest is report a bug, you could try precise in liveCD, see if its any better there with the newer kernel | 00:22 |
| lisa_ | Im sure Ubuntu is good but i cant use it guys.. its crashed on me and I spend 12 hours for nothing :( | 00:22 |
| lisa_ | bye guys thanks for all your help | 00:22 |
| wetcircle_ | hi guys | 00:22 |
| wetcircle_ | just setup my vpn. | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | keith_linux123: shouldn't be wildly different as its a text based UI, so its fine | 00:22 |
| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: I got a python semnatics question.. you up for it ?? | 00:22 |
| gasti | ActionParsnip: Thank you, i'll keep looking here. I saw some guys who had the same problem and dint find the solution yet.. :S | 00:22 |
| keith_linux123 | thanks guys | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: I'm no good in python dude, sorry. Try #python | 00:22 |
| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: k.. | 00:23 |
| keith_linux123 | like i'm a IT jack of all trades | 00:23 |
| sheenzz | my browsers not working, why? | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sheenzz: details please, 'not working' tells us nothing | 00:26 |
| almoxarife | sheenzz: cause its broke? | 00:26 |
| research4oscar | i am getting the following error when trying to connect to my ubuntu machine from my laptop using winscp: Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? | 00:26 |
| sheenzz | as in not opening | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | sheenzz: run it from terminal | 00:26 |
| keith_linux123 | so i can't be an expert at everything | 00:27 |
| sheenzz | how do i | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | research4oscar: did you install openssh-server on the server side? Is the service runnning? | 00:27 |
| almoxarife | research4oscar: is it? sftp=secure ftp | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | sheenzz: which browser are you using? | 00:27 |
| sheenzz | chrome | 00:27 |
| research4oscar | yes opnssh-server is running. | 00:28 |
| sheenzz | actionparsnip: chrome | 00:28 |
| almoxarife | research4oscar: is this a win error > Cannot initialize SFTP protocol | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | sheenzz: i believe you will run: google-chrome | 00:29 |
| bastidrazor | research4oscar: in winscp do not use SFTP under File Protocol: .. Select SSH | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | research4oscar: can you ping the server? | 00:29 |
| research4oscar | i think it is. i can try installing filezilla and will get back to you | 00:29 |
| research4oscar | i'll try that. | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | research4oscar: was going to suggest filezilla | 00:29 |
| sheenzz | oh | 00:30 |
| almoxarife | research4oscar: filezilla=cause it works | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | almoxarife: if a bit bloated | 00:32 |
| sheenzz | actionparsnip: no, it didnt work | 00:32 |
| keith_linux123 | so anyway, how stable is a sunbox Virtual box running inside of a windows host | 00:32 |
| keith_linux123 | since thats what i'm going to be doing | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | keith_linux123: should be ok | 00:33 |
| keith_linux123 | SEE, thats all i needed to hear | 00:33 |
| almoxarife | ActionParsnip: think so? never thought so, bloated is 'kontact' from kde , leave it to its own devices and 120meg is gonna come real fast | 00:33 |
| keith_linux123 | the fedora chanel ganged up on me and said it was all a bad idea | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !info filezilla | almoxarife | 00:34 |
| ubottu | almoxarife: filezilla (source: filezilla): Full-featured graphical FTP/FTPS/SFTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5.0-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 1277 kB, installed size 3168 kB | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | almoxarife: 3Mb! its silly | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sheenzz: try: grep Exec /usr/share/applications/goo* | 00:35 |
| almoxarife | keith_linux123: fedora-ites are snobbish and elitist as a badge of honor(I assume), on the other hand ubuntu is suppose to be a GUI wonderland of linux, I like it that way, hence why I use it, think like that | 00:36 |
| snail_ | Hi. I have a nub queston, sorry for this, but google can't help me. What is first number in "Version" line in "aptitude show package_name" output exactly mean? For example "Version: 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.5" what is 2? | 00:36 |
| almoxarife | ActionParsnip: but, but, it's a gui | 00:36 |
| Lover | http://punya-rizal.blogspot.com/ | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | almoxarife: true but it should use the default gtk stuff already installed... | 00:36 |
| Jordan_U | Lover: Please don't spam links in this channel. | 00:37 |
| === candy is now known as Guest87795 | ||
| bastidrazor | Jordan_U: he is ban evading :( iirc | 00:37 |
| almoxarife | keith_linux123: what you also need is 'cli-companion' because a terminal gui is an excellent thought | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | snail_: http://www.ducea.com/2006/06/17/ubuntu-package-version-naming-explanation/ | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | bastidrazor: Indeed, thanks. | 00:38 |
| keith_linux123 | i don't think snobbery benifits anyone | 00:38 |
| keith_linux123 | like the advantage of Ubuntu is that its pretty easy to use | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | keith_linux123 | 00:38 |
| keith_linux123 | on it almoxarife | 00:38 |
| ubottu | keith_linux123: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 00:38 |
| mangdood | which channel can I ask for shell programming help? | 00:39 |
| research4oscar | okay tried it with filezilla and i get connection closed by server with exitcode1 | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mangdood: #bash | 00:39 |
| mangdood | ActionParsnip, thanks | 00:39 |
| paradizelost | hey guys, i'm trying to find documentation on how to do ssl for multiple virtual hosts in apache on ubuntu, any suggestions? | 00:39 |
| === XLV_ is now known as XLV | ||
| ActionParsnip | research4oscar: do you use ssh keys? | 00:39 |
| paradizelost | all i'm finding is some gentoo documentation | 00:39 |
| research4oscar | not sure if i do. i use sftp | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | research4oscar: its a concious thing, so you probably dont :) | 00:40 |
| === stephen is now known as Guest57821 | ||
| research4oscar | also i can connect using another user on my ubuntu machine | 00:40 |
| === Guest57821 is now known as smw_ | ||
| research4oscar | i am trying to connect user a webuser with limited rights. | 00:40 |
| research4oscar | i did notice i am using pureftp instead of proftp. | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | research4oscar: that is ftp, not sftp | 00:41 |
| research4oscar | ah! | 00:41 |
| research4oscar | is it safe to install proftp now. or do i need to uninstall pureftp first? | 00:41 |
| wylde | research4oscar: if you want to connect with sftp all you need is ssh.... | 00:42 |
| research4oscar | i have sshserver installed as i see it in my terminal under programs. | 00:43 |
| research4oscar | it has an asteric next to it. so does lamp. | 00:43 |
| snail_ | <ActionParsnip> thanx, but this article about end numbers of version line. I mean it is about numbers behind ubuntu word. But I asked about start number (2) between Version word and version number (e.g. 2.5.4). | 00:45 |
| gasti | ActionParsnip: Still there bro? I found the solution for the youtube and videos delay. | 00:47 |
| wylde | snail_: I believe that is the upstream maintainers/authors version | 00:47 |
| gasti | wylde: do you remember my flash delay problem? | 00:48 |
| wylde | gasti: I read some about it yes. | 00:48 |
| gasti | wylde: i found the solution, but it is only for firefox, maybe you could help me applying it to chrome. I'll show you: I did exactly this and the delay competely dissapeared: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1760248&page=3 | 00:49 |
| fernandocueva | what is the difference between installing a .run file using sh ./ or just ./ | 00:50 |
| wylde | gasti: meaning you followed that in Firefox? | 00:51 |
| snail_ | <wylde> thanx for your opinion, but it's so strange that i can't find exact information about it... | 00:52 |
| gasti | wylde: what? sorry. I followed these steps and solved it in forefox. -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/294666/comments/34 but I want to make it work properly in chromium | 00:52 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 294666 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "PulseAudio causes sound latency in 8.10" [Undecided,Fix committed] | 00:52 |
| wylde | fix commited since 8.10 hmmm | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | fernandocueva: "sh /path/to/file" means use the interpreter sh to interpret the file passed as an sh script. "/path/to/file" alone means execute file, if it's a binary run it, if it has a #! line then use the interpreter and options specified there. | 00:53 |
| wylde | gasti: I'm not sure I'm the one to ask about using this fix for chromium.. | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | fernandocueva: './' is simply the beginning of a path to a file, starting with the current directory ('.'). IMHO you should never use "sh /path/to/file" because file may be a bash script, or a perl script, or a binary instead of a POSIX sh script. | 00:55 |
| Jordan_U | fernandocueva: That said, you usually should also avoid installing things via any type of script rather than the package manager if at all possible. | 00:55 |
| wylde | gasti: lol ok I see what they're doing. | 00:56 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | hey if I install wordpress with aptitute on ubuntu, will I be able to upgrade it with apt-get? | 00:56 |
| Jordan_U | Nicolas_Leonida2: Yes. | 00:56 |
| wylde | make a copy of the file thay had you make for firefox, rename it chromium or somesuch | 00:56 |
| wylde | gasti: make a copy of the file thay had you make for firefox, rename it chromium or somesuch | 00:56 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | Jordan_U: will the security releases be auto installed as well? | 00:57 |
| wylde | gasti: on the last line change it to exec /usr/bin/chromium-browser "$@" | 00:58 |
| CFHowlett | y | 00:58 |
| Jordan_U | Nicolas_Leonida2: There is basically no difference between "sudo aptidue install foo" and "sudo apt-get install foo" anymore (and in the past the main difference was knowing what was automatically installed vs manually installed so that when you *removed* a package you had an easier time clearing out the cruft it depended on as well). | 00:58 |
| almoxarife | is there a 'watch-dog' sort of process/app/util that will look for a running occurrence of some process and kills it if found? | 00:59 |
| gasti | wylde: it's not working | 00:59 |

| escott | bbOOmm, generally speaking having a gui run as root on every boot would be discouraged. im not familiar with darkice but does it really need the gui? | 02:21 |
| zykotic10 | escott: after running darkice as root, i'm guessing it's probably made some config files root owned... | 02:22 |
| abhatnag | ActionParsnip: hey, just an update, no luck with that; that ppa, hwe-wireless does not have an Oneiric component | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | bbOOmm: if you make a script to run your command with a large sleep befroe the command, then add that in /etc/rc.local with an ampersand to background it, it will run as root when the desktop loads | 02:22 |
| abhatnag | ActionParsnip: on the plus side, the guy who ran that works at Canonical, so I could get in touch and ask for an update | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | abhatnag: ah, I see. I'd get a new wifi tbh, if its 7 years of pain | 02:22 |
| escott | bbOOmm, and the random 10 second delays are also a bit weird. if that were really necessary I would strongly suggest not running that program ever because it must be horribly written and you dont want to trust something like that with root | 02:23 |
| abhatnag | ActionParsnip: true; just as an FYI, I think this nic has something to do with 3+ linux kernel, cause another repo I used for drivers on Fedora stopped supporting it right then as well | 02:23 |
| bbOOmm | escott : I do not think I'm running in root with the GUI ( gnome) ... I just couldn't figure out how -just yet- to get the sound card and darkice all setup with out the gui... learning the command line stuff and new to darkice, so I went with something I knew to start with. | 02:24 |

| escott | bbOOmm, well i would encourage you to figure out how to do it properly, but if you *must* do it this way then the thing to do is create a script that has the necessary sleeps and then mark that script with the setuid bit and add it to your gnome-session, but there are all kinds of security klaxon's going off with doing something like that | 02:26 |

| inzi86 | isit possible to install unity 5.2 on ubuntu 11.10? | 02:26 |
| zykotic10 | bbOOmm: (basically just escott +1) but, using "sudo su" like you did leads to problems. you should learn to use sudo properly. | 02:27 |

| atxq | anyone know how I can figure out what module controls my touchpad? | 02:28 |

| escott | bbOOmm, darkice isn't requiring root, its currently configured to use RT scheduling which your system has configured to only allow for root. I think RT scheduling is a bit overkill for anything but professional use, but your options are: (a) grant root (discouraged) (b) configure darkice to not use RT (I would do this) (c) configure our system to allow RT for non-root | 02:34 |

| quiescens | well anyway, as trism mentioned, config is in /etc/rsyslog.d/ | 03:02 |
| ziroday | Jordan_U, that would be great if you could give me instruction for Ubuntu 11.10 | 03:02 |
| zykotick9 | machiolate: does highlighting something and middle click not work by default in ubuntu? | 03:03 |
| hi675445 | yes | 03:03 |
| BlueProtoman | quiescens: I hate middle-click paste. | 03:04 |
| joubin | hey guys, can someone help me with ubuntu pptp server. I have it running, however, it doesnt change my ip address? | 03:04 |
| quiescens | oh different subject thingy, there is a way to disable it | 03:04 |
| Jordan_U | ziroday: Can you wait about an hour | 03:05 |
| Jordan_U | ? | 03:05 |
| DD123 | How do I list all of a packages direct dependencies? apt-rdepends, which google pointed me too, only seems to list the package I type in. I write in "firefox" and it outputs only "firefox" | 03:06 |
| ziroday | Jordan_U, urf preferably not. If you could just point me in the right direction that would be great. If you have to run no worries. | 03:06 |
| zykotick9 | Can someone confirm/deny for me - does highlighting something then middle click paste work in 11.10 Unity and/or Gnome3 by default? | 03:06 |
| joubin | @DD123 after the install fails, do a apt-get -f install with no package names | 03:07 |
| joubin | it will get your dependecies for you | 03:07 |
| zykotick9 | DD123: "apt-cache depends foo" and "apt-cache rdepends foo" might be of help | 03:07 |
| Praxi_ | anyone have any good guides for apache reverse proxy? Trying to set up a ubuntu server running openerp, but I want to run it over SSL and need to reverse proxy it to domainname:8069 | 03:07 |
| ziroday | zykotick9, it works here | 03:07 |
| escott | zykotick9, depends on the app, i'm noticing a lot of apps ignore the buffer, but copy and middle click usually works | 03:07 |
| zykotick9 | escott: thanks. if it's app failure i can live with that, if it's ubuntu in general - i'd stop visiting this channel. | 03:08 |
| Jordan_U | ziroday: Install grub-efi (not grub-pc) to a USB drive then copy the iso file (do *not* extract it) to said USB drive and write a grub.cfg following http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_create_a_loopback.cfg.3F | 03:08 |
| DD123 | zykotick9: Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for! | 03:08 |
| jeroth | zykotick9, works fine in ubuntu 11.10 for me. Probably apps ignoring the middle click. | 03:09 |
| Jordan_U | ziroday: Sorry I can't give more detailed instructions than that at the moment. | 03:09 |
| zykotick9 | jeroth: thanks for the confirmation | 03:09 |
| escott | zykotick9, you might want to install one of the clipboard managers which will automatically sync the selection and cut clipboards and make the behavior more consistent | 03:09 |
| jeroth | zykotick9, np :) | 03:09 |

| ghostconn | for some reason i can't play any of my .flac files in gmusicbrowser | 03:18 |

| ActionParsnip | ghostconn: do other apps work ok? | 03:18 |
| ghostconn | 1sec il try with vlc | 03:19 |

| hi675445 | wubi with windows 7 lol | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | N008573R: it is impossible to run 64bit OS on 32bit CPU, the reverse is possible | 03:20 |

| ActionParsnip | calebe: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 03:22 |

| JelloPop | ActionParsnip: Srry been yrs since the last time I used virtualbox maybe it was vmware I had to match arch of the system.. Been while cant remember! | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | JelloPop: np man :D | 03:24 |
| jeroth | argrubbs, depends on what you plan to do. Are you planning on gaming? | 03:24 |

| research4oscar | following the article instructions: http://www.techsupportalert.com/how-to-set-up-your-own-web-server.htm, i created a webuser on my ubuntu installation and assigned him as owner to a folder under var/www. | 03:25 |

| === rinzler is now known as NEEDTOBREATHE | ||
| jeroth | argrubbs, if I were planning on doing video/audio editing I would want my storage partition to be on the faster drive. | 03:26 |

| atnms | I'll switch to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. | 03:29 |
| ziroday | Jordan_U, installing from linux would be preferred | 03:29 |

| mousek | hello | 03:31 |
| ziroday | Jordan_U, I'm using the 32bit ISO. | 03:31 |
| Jordan_U | ziroday: The 32 bit iso doesn't have any EFI image (and 32 bit EFI images would only work with 32 bit EFI firmware). | 03:32 |
| maujhsn | Has anybody seen this error message before? Makefile:33: *** missing separator. Stop. | 03:32 |
| Jordan_U | ziroday: If you have a macbook that's not one of the very early models then it probably has 64 bit firmware, and so following the instructions with the 64 bit Ubuntu iso should work. | 03:33 |
| ziroday | Jordan_U, okay - so I need to download the 64bit image? | 03:33 |
| ziroday | Jordan_U, its a recent MPB | 03:33 |
| Jordan_U | ziroday: Yes. | 03:33 |

| ziroday | Jordan_U, how can I determine if it's 32 or 64bit? | 03:33 |

| ziroday | gotcha | 03:34 |
| maujhsn | ActionParsnip /gimp-gap-2.6.0 | 03:34 |
| Jordan_U | ziroday: That won't actually tell us if the *firmware* is 64 bit. | 03:34 |
| joubin | x86_64 means 64 | 03:34 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip: ^^ | 03:34 |
| joubin | X86 means 32 | 03:34 |

| ActionParsnip | istinspring: sure, its just not as simple. I'd suggest setting up a wired connection and updating etc, then try booting to the desktop | 04:33 |
| Nosophorus | the fonts render differently from previous versions | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: whats the issue? | 04:33 |
| Nosophorus | how could i fix that? | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: did you set the font rendering to medium / full in the desktop setting? | 04:34 |
| Nosophorus | ActionParsnip: i set it on the default mode | 04:34 |
| Nosophorus | but let me see how they are | 04:34 |
| Nosophorus | well, it reads subpixel smoothing | 04:35 |
| Nosophorus | well, it reads subpixel smoothing LCDs | 04:35 |
| J-Escobar | I just cloned a 300gb Ubuntu HD to a 2tb HD using clonezilla. When I boot up using the cloned 2tb drive it works fine. But it only sees it as a 300gb drive. I am trying to use gparted to resize it to the full 2tb, but it isn't letting me. Anyone have any ideas? | 04:35 |
| Nosophorus | the opera version i'm using right now is 11.01 | 04:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: i'd ask in the opera channel, they may know stuff too. I'll have a websearch | 04:36 |
| Nosophorus | ActionParsnip: i'll see there too | 04:36 |
| Fyodorovna | J-Escobar, use a live cd and turn off the swap. | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: To do so, hit Alt-P in Opera, click the "Advanced" tab and then select the "Fonts" item on the left-hand side. For each GUI element, you can select a new type face | 04:37 |

| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: anything there (source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser) | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: Additionally, fonts in Opera look different from in regular Gnome applications. If you use Gnome, fonts in Opera may be fuzzy. This is because Qt, Opera's backend technology | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: run: gedit ~/.fonts.conf and add the snippet in the link I gave | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: have you not seen any of this? | 04:38 |
| Nosophorus | ActionParsnip: thanks! the problem with fonts is that they render OK, but they look different from the ubuntu default fonts | 04:39 |
| Nosophorus | ActionParsnip: no, i haven't | 04:39 |
| J-Escobar | Fyodorovna: What live CD should I use? | 04:39 |
| Nosophorus | but i'll try it now | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: I'm literally copying and pasting from the opera ubuntu documentation (the link I gave). Its the FIRST thing you should have headed for | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: so what have you tried, in order to fix it? | 04:39 |
| Nosophorus | ActionParsnip: i tried to modify opera fonts via Preferences menu, but to no avail | 04:40 |
| Fyodorovna | J-Escobar, use a ubuntu or one with gparted, the latter you can download it self small iso. | 04:41 |

| Fyodorovna | J-Escobar, is the swap on in that HD? | 04:43 |
| Nosophorus | ActionParsnip: in opera 11.01, fonts are the same as the ubuntu default fonts | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: I'm coming to the end of a 12 hour nightshift, my eyes are tired so I can't really say much. Looks fine here | 04:44 |
| Nosophorus | ActionParsnip: but that's not the case when it comes to later versions of opera | 04:44 |
| J-Escobar | Fyodorovna: I think so. I have an option to turn it off i think | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Nosophorus: try the stuff in the link I gave | 04:44 |
| Nosophorus | ActionParsnip: Oh, I see. Sorry | 04:44 |
| Fyodorovna | J-Escobar, needs to be off just right click it=swap off | 04:45 |
| Nosophorus | ActionParsnip: Thank you very much for your attention and patience. I'll check your links out! | 04:45 |
| J-Escobar | Fyodorovna: Ok swap is off now. What next? when i click the main part ion in gparted it still does not give me a resize option | 04:47 |
| J-Escobar | Fyodorovna: Partition* | 04:47 |

| magiknapkin | I'm new to Ubuntu. I just found out I could get on IRC with the empathy messaging client. | 04:49 |
| Arduno | same here ;) | 04:50 |
| Fyodorovna | J-Escobar, So the HD you want to resize must not be mounted as well. | 04:50 |
| rocuronium | Welcome to Ubuntu! :) | 04:51 |
| magiknapkin | Why thank you! | 04:52 |

| rocuronium | What made you make the switch? | 04:53 |
| Fyodorovna | J-Escobar, So you trying to shrink it? | 04:53 |
| Fyodorovna | sdc1 that is | 04:54 |
| J-Escobar | Fyodorovna: No I am trying to enlarge the 300GB to the full 2tb drive. it says it is mounted but when i choose unmount it gives me an error saying i need to unmount it manually . | 04:54 |

| Jordan_U | J-Escobar: Can you pastebin the output of "mount"? | 04:56 |
| micogeek | xxx | 04:57 |
| Fyodorovna | J-Escobar, you have the partition mounted, and no space to move it to. Unmount with the disk utility with gparted closed. Resize the the sdc3 partition, then just delete the swap, expand the sdc1 into the free space leaving room for a new swap. | 04:57 |
| dj_segfault | Hi. I'm having trouble mounting a hard drive at boot time that mounts fine after boot. Please see my notes at http://wiki.thekramers.net/Main/JanusHardDriveProblem | 04:58 |
| J-Escobar | Fyodorovna: disk utility shows it unmounted. Should I proceed with deleting the swap? | 04:59 |
| Jordan_U | J-Escobar: Please pastebin the output of "mount". | 04:59 |
| J-Escobar | Jordan_U: Kind of new to this. How would I do that? | 05:00 |
| Jordan_U | J-Escobar: Open a terminal, type "mount", hit enter, then use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com to give us a link to the ouptput. | 05:01 |
| Fyodorovna | J-Escobar, Sure the swap is also contained in a extended which you would remove for now as well just put both in to have a extended option if needed. | 05:02 |
| J-Escobar | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/900018/ | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | J-Escobar: You're currently booted from the drive you're trying to resize. You need to boot into another system (like a LiveCD) first. | 05:04 |
| ghostconn | OMG! kubuntu 12:04 is by far the best OS !!! | 05:05 |
| ghostconn | i will never return to ubuntu | 05:05 |
| helegel | ghostconn, why? | 05:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostconn: its not supported here til release, you can get support and iscuss it in #ubuntu+1 ;) | 05:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostconn: its not bad though :) | 05:06 |
| J-Escobar | Jordan_U: from what disk utility shows me I am not booted into the drive i am trying to resize. drive sec shows unmounted and drive sdb shows mounted, which is running 10.04 | 05:06 |
| JoeR1 | Hello ActionParsnip long time no see | 05:06 |
| JoeR1 | but I should stay on topic | 05:06 |
| J-Escobar | Jordan_U: sdc not sec* | 05:06 |
| JoeR1 | I am having trouble with my newly acquired printer/scanner/copier - the printing works but I cannot get the scanning to work right | 05:07 |
| k1ng | i am trying to install a adobe tool on ubuntu | 05:07 |
| Jordan_U | J-Escobar: According to the ouptput from mount, /dev/sdc1 (the first partition on the drive sdc) is mounted to '/', which basically means that it's the partition you booted from. If you're trying to resize partitions on sdc, then you really need to boot from another drive. | 05:08 |
| k1ng | when i call the program its says No such file or directory | 05:08 |
| k1ng | i have chmod +x it | 05:08 |
| ghostconn | customization,UI,themes,managing you're desktop,system benchmarks,boot time,software centre loads in like a second lol, the feel,the flow ... if you manover you're mouse to the top left you are brought to a beautiful application switcher | 05:09 |
| k1ng | anyone? | 05:09 |
| J-Escobar | Jordan_U: That makes sense. but for some reason my mobo will not boot any live cd with the drive configuration i have. i have read it has something to do with SATA dvd drives, but i am using IDE dvd drives. I had to clone this from a friends PC. So I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow and boot up using gparted live from his computer to resize it. | 05:10 |
| k1ng | i am trying to install a adobe tool on ubuntu. when i call the program its says No such file or directory. i have chmod +x it | 05:10 |

| J-Escobar | ActionParsnip: Yes. that error is given on every live disk. gparted live, clonezilla live, and every ubuntu live disk i have tried. | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | J-Escobar: Did you only do this clone so that you could install Ubuntu? | 05:13 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: have you tried making a usb thumbdrive? | 05:13 |
| CFHowlett | J-Escobar try a usb... | 05:13 |
| J-Escobar | Jordan_U: No, i had Ubuntu installed already. I am just trying to clone it to a bigger HD. | 05:14 |
| J-Escobar | I haven't tried a USB yet. | 05:14 |
| Jordan_U | J-Escobar: You should definitely try booting from USB, it sounds like your CDROM drive simply isn't supported by Linux for some reason. | 05:15 |
| Mish- | Has anyone had any "gotchas" trying to get VLANs working over a bonded interface on Ubuntu 11.10? | 05:15 |
| J-Escobar | Jordan_U: possibly. but i used the same carom drive to do the initial install. | 05:15 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: sounds like something is misconfigured then. | 05:16 |
| J-Escobar | wylde: yeah i figured that too. but i have tried every possible configuration i could think of. nothing has worked. | 05:17 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: well a usb should work at any rate | 05:17 |
| J-Escobar | wylde: ok so I have it cloned already and bootable. should i just get gparted on a USB and boot from that? | 05:18 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: probably some bios setting hidden under 3 layers of menus with an obscure name lol | 05:18 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: you have access to another computer that can boot the live cd? .... actually, that *might* work | 05:19 |
| J-Escobar | wylde: I do not have another computer here that will work. This is my only PC and using OS X on everything else. | 05:20 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: hmm..does unetbootin work on OSX? ... I wonder | 05:22 |
| JoeR1 | So is there anyone that can help me with my scanner or is there a support channel dedicated to that? | 05:22 |
| CFHowlett | wylde unetbootin works in osx | 05:22 |
| wylde | CFHowlett: good to know, thank you. J-Escobar get yourself a copy of unetbootin and you can use that to make a bootable usb | 05:23 |
| J-Escobar | wylde: i downloaded it. what program should i make bootable? i do not see gparted | 05:24 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: gparted is a tool not an os | 05:25 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: there should be ubuntu in the list of options. | 05:25 |
| J-Escobar | wylde: ok, i can boot my hd. i just need to resize it to the full 2tb. what would you use? | 05:25 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: make a bootable usb with unetbootin.... choose ubuntu then you will have to boot from the usb to be able to resize the partition on your hard drive | 05:26 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: you can NOT resize a filesystem you are using. If you boot from your hard drive then you are using it's filesystem....do you understand that? | 05:27 |
| J-Escobar | wylde: i do yes. but i have 2 hard drives with 10.04. and from what i am seeing i do not have the hd mounted that i am wanting to resize. i will try a usb to make sure. | 05:28 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: so...that said. You need to make a bootable usb to use to access your hard drive to resize the partiton | 05:29 |
| wylde | J-Escobar: that would be best, then we know for sure you are not on the partition you want to resize | 05:30 |
| J-Escobar | wylde: ok, i am trying that now. | 05:33 |

| yakeb | hi all, i'm on 11.10 and did a recent kernel upgrade to 3.0.0-16 and it seems to have broken pulseaudio and pulseaudio-equalizer. it doesn't work now when booting into any kernel, is there an easy way to reinstall without having to make a bunch of new configuration files? | 06:17 |
| dooma09 | can anyone help with network issue connecting to internet... | 06:18 |
| yakeb | that is, reinstall pulseaudio and pulseaudio-equalizer, not the entire operating system. | 06:18 |
| Jordan_U | yakeb: Configuration files are often what make the difference between working and not. | 06:18 |
| Jordan_U | yakeb: You might try giving a detailed explanation of the specific problem you're having in #pulseaudio. | 06:19 |
| yakeb | oh, i didn't realize there was a pulseaudio forum. thanks for the info. | 06:20 |
| curiousx | ansi: verifi if you can install programs from the repositories | 06:21 |
| Jordan_U | yakeb: You're welcome. No problem asking here, but you're probably more likely to get an answer there :) | 06:21 |

| Palatinus | Hello I was wondering if I could ask someone a few questions about moving to a linux based system from Win7 | 07:08 |
| CFHowlett | Palatinus ask away | 07:09 |
| JKid | Ok | 07:09 |
| Palatinus | I wondering in terms video cards like a 550 GTI how driver support is and the same for newer game support or what kind of hurdles i am going to have to jump through to move to a Linux based system | 07:10 |
| Palatinus | sorry I mean a 550 Ti | 07:11 |
| JKid | Research on the internet what is compatible with what your motherboard requirements are and the physical build is identical to a win based system | 07:12 |
| CFHowlett | Palatinus hardware depends first on the OEM support. Failing that, the open source community may or may not have a fully realized driver for your specific card. So far as games, the wine project enables many windows based games to run on linux | 07:12 |

| Palatinus | CFHowlett: according to that moving to a linux based OS would not eb the greatest of moves on my part if I am reading it right. My only other question is do you consider Linux based OS to be user friendly as I would only be starting to move into one now. | 07:31 |
| CFHowlett | Palatinus suggestion first: Install virtualbox in windows. Install ubuntu in virtualbox. Then you can test ubuntu in complete safety. | 07:32 |
| CFHowlett | My opinion? My laptop has ubuntu, Snow Leopard and Win7. About 90% of the time, I'm running ubuntu. Free, fast, flexible, does what I want, yada yada yada. (My $0.02) | 07:33 |
| JKid | I second that... Once youre comfortable with it just do a dual install | 07:34 |
| Palatinus | Well thank you very much for the information | 07:34 |

| JelloPop | celthunder: hey thanks for showing me xmonad.. works great :P | 07:51 |
| bluefrog | kaushal, use byobu, separate the terminal in 2 and fire up ssh in both sections. | 07:52 |
| dalek_ | I am trying to make a USB flash drive startup disk. The start up disk maker seems to have hung. I see a window titled "installing" and the body of the window is completely blank. Has it failed? | 07:52 |
| kaushal | bluefrog: ok | 07:52 |
| CFHowlett | dalek_ look for hidden windows - you need to sudo authorize a couple of things | 07:53 |
| JelloPop | celthunder: Xmonad Rocks ! | 07:53 |
| dalek_ | CFHowlett, There are no hiding windows anywhere. The start up disk creator app GUI prompted for authorization several times before it apparently hung. | 07:54 |
| CFHowlett | dalek_ quick thought, install unetbootin and create it there. | 07:55 |
| almoxarife | dalek_: and you authorized correctly? | 07:56 |
| kaushal | bluefrog: i have installed byobu | 07:56 |

| dalek_ | CFHowlett, almoxarife yes. I have now gone to system monitor and killed the startup disk creator process. Pulled the USB stick out and it seems to be working fine in the new computer... so I guess it worked before it hung. | 07:57 |

| chatter2 | Hi, using 10.04 on virtualbox. Starting with notext option, but the graphic console is slow , how do I turn off graphic console? | 08:28 |
| amarcolino | can someone explain to me where would I put a script that evokes lvm command to run into the boot process as described in this link, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/logical-volumes-not-available-on-reboot-724093/, post #4 & #6. Would this be advisable? | 08:28 |
| doda1 | i have an ubuntu 12.04 install running with proprietary nvidia drivers and during bootup and in virtual console i get frequency out of range from my monitor | 08:28 |
| llutz_ | tMH: time to update then, works here(tm) | 08:29 |
| doda1 | had this issue on older ubuntu's too | 08:29 |
| jlebrech | how can I tell that start-stop-daemon works? | 08:29 |

| doda1 | yeah, but i had that problem on older ubuntu's too | 08:30 |
| L3top_ | doda1: it sounds like your monitor wants a weird hz or has a low limit on resolution. | 08:31 |
| doda1 | well nope, the thing is X works just fine, other distros do too | 08:32 |
| cliff_ | Are crontab entries immediate? As in, when i add one, does it automatically start working, or do i have to restart or something? | 08:32 |
| llutz_ | cliff_: no need t restart | 08:33 |
| llutz_ | to* | 08:33 |
| cliff_ | that's what i thought | 08:33 |
| doda1 | i chainload ubuntu's grub from another distro, and then i get a out of range error | 08:33 |
| doda1 | when X starts everything is fine but tty's don't work | 08:34 |
| Mashr000m | rogst, i should obviosly edit file /etc/bash_completion ? | 08:36 |

| MestreLion | chatter2 / ikonia: is there any way to make it expand vars? *any* var, not necessarilly a user env one | 10:24 |
| [Si] | apporc I don't understand your question, DU shows the actual use on the disk, for a sparse file this could be a lot smaller than the actual file size reported to KVM etc | 10:24 |
| ikonia | MestreLion: run it in a shell | 10:24 |
| drupalnewie | problem with taxonomy D7-> can't change my Widget type * to selectbox there is checkboxes/radio buttons as an option which uses the radio button as default | 10:24 |

| Jordan_U | MestreLion: bash -c 'echo $HOME' | 10:25 |
| [Si] | apporc if you are used to SANs or VMWare etc think of it like "Thin Provisioning" | 10:25 |
| MestreLion | ikonia: and i'm not saying this is wrong or a bug... it was just... surprising | 10:25 |
| ikonia | MestreLion: not if you think about it | 10:25 |
| MestreLion | ikonia: I didn't know how it works... | 10:26 |
| chatter2 | MestreLion: maybe if you run like bash -c 'myscript ....' | 10:26 |
| ikonia | MestreLion: that's understandable, I meant now you do know, it's not surprising | 10:26 |
| MestreLion | Jordan_U: humm, that's cheating, but it is a nice approach ;) | 10:26 |

| ikonia | a gnome "proxy" type shell, the correct wording I have no idea | 10:27 |

A couple of directories down is a dir called xyz which is owned by myself(user) and it's group is www-data (rwxrwxrw-). The problem is there is a file in the dir which is owned by www-data but is part of the group www-data (rw-rw-r--) and I'm cannot delete the file - and I cannot figure out | 10:30 |
| MestreLion | Jordan_U: I wonder if there is a way to print which $PATH is effective in the desktop | 10:30 |

| etoka | slt | 10:33 |
| [Si] | shomon I guess it's getting the price down to ~ free made them less reliable. | 10:33 |
| Jordan_U | MestreLion: I think that "proxy" is an odd term that makes it seem more complicated than it is. Shells are shells, this is not a shell. You can run commands without ever involving a shell, like when using the exec() system call from C. | 10:35 |
| MestreLion | junglejim: that is really weird... care ty pastebin a session? ls -la /var/www/couple/dirs/down && id | pastebinit | 10:35 |

| Madhavdas | now i only have unity login how to chnge it to old style? | 14:05 |

| bazhang | !notunity | Madhavdas | 14:05 |
| ubottu | Madhavdas: 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 | 14:05 |
| _Marcus | ansi: I recommend you listen to bazhang instead, he is right | 14:05 |

| PatrickC | if my HDD fails to boot, would a live CD normally boot? | 15:45 |
| PatrickC | and if it did, should it generally give me access to the HDD? | 15:45 |
| marxjohnson | PatrickC: unless it's a BIOS problem it should do | 15:45 |
| PatrickC | ok | 15:45 |
| marxjohnson | PatrickC: it depends how badly broken the HDD is | 15:45 |
| PatrickC | what it looks to be doing is just invalid/missing/corrupt files on the HDD | 15:46 |
| PatrickC | that are preventing windows from booting | 15:46 |
| PatrickC | and oddly enough, its even preventing my Ubuntu install from booting. but not my windows 8 install | 15:46 |
| bs | marxjohnson, well the voice and video are no active | 15:46 |

| PatrickC | recover my dead laptop | 15:55 |
| Yaaaaaa | usb | 15:55 |
| marxjohnson | either will do fine | 15:55 |
| PatrickC | it has corrupt/missing system files for windows | 15:55 |
| Yaaaaaa | if it can boot from usb, usb is superior | 15:55 |
| marxjohnson | USB lets you save files back to the stick, if you dont need that CD will be fine | 15:55 |
| aztec_ | take usb | 15:56 |
| PatrickC | well, I will need to download files | 15:56 |
| marxjohnson | it downloads stuff into ramdisk when you're on a live system | 15:56 |

| notk0 | PatrickC, thank you, reinstalling flash fixed it, but I have no idea why it got broken | 16:58 |
| notk0 | PatrickC, is it possible that it broke because I added an incompatible apt source ? | 16:58 |
| PatrickC | I don't think that'll break it | 16:58 |

| tacomaster | is there a way around way to bypass rfkill? | 17:19 |
| dan1928348 | compute is trying to install a 64 bit os on a 32 bit processor and doesn't understand why it won't boot. He says the install works fine but it won't boot. | 17:19 |
| Dr_willis | Decksmasher, 'fuduntu' im not even sure thats ubuntu related.. in any case we only support the official ubuntu variants here. and fluxbox normally works decently with its defaults | 17:19 |
| zykotick9 | Decksmasher: fuduntu is not ubuntu... not supported here. | 17:19 |

| Decksmasher | i got it free with linux magazine its the gnome distro if that helps.. | 17:21 |
| Dr_willis | Decksmasher, its not ubuntu.. so see the fuduntu support channels.. | 17:21 |
| bazhang | Decksmasher, fuduntu is a fedora re-spin try #fedora | 17:21 |
| dan1928348 | I am definitely not a grub expert | 17:21 |
| Decksmasher | ok dr-willis thanks | 17:21 |
| lotuspsychje | is activity-log-manager going to be default in precise? | 17:21 |
| Decksmasher | bazhang i will thanks | 17:21 |
| bazhang | lotuspsychje, try #ubuntu+1 for that | 17:22 |

| lotuspsychje | ok | 17:22 |
| bazhang | compute, thats not possible, as we said | 17:22 |
| dan1928348 | <compute> that will not work. stop asking. put 32bit on it and it will work fine. | 17:22 |
| cuddylier | How do Iaunch a .sh file when I am cd'ed into the directory? | 17:24 |
| dan1928348 | ./file.sh | 17:24 |

| Decksmasher | Hi guys...ive just installed fuduntu i think its a federa distro? but anyway when i try the apt-get install command in the terminal it sais i cant run bin/bash commands, some help would be great thanks. | 18:32 |
| bazhang | Decksmasher, fedora does not use apt | 18:32 |
| parapan_ | under ubuntu <i've mounted a ntfs partition / I can read write on it ...but what I write has permisssions 700 only linux user full access, nothing to group, nothing to others; problem is permissions cannot be changed | 18:32 |
| auronandace | Decksmasher: fuduntu is not supported here | 18:33 |
| bazhang | Decksmasher, #fedora is the correct channel NOT here | 18:33 |
| Decksmasher | ok...i just thought becouse it was a linux distro the command would be the same..thanks anyway | 18:34 |
| dmasq | Decksmasher: aptitude isn't on all linux boxes.. you'll find yum and several others out there | 18:35 |
| zykotick9 | Decksmasher: there is actually a #fuduntu channel here on freenode (might be better then trying #fedora) | 18:35 |

| vlt | dr3mro: Should be 666 by default. What did you mess up? | 19:01 |
| === guest-59Ofem_ is now known as lamont_ | ||
| dr3mro | vlt, i don't know but suddenly lightdm fails and i have to set /dev/null to 666 to make it work using vt but that is realy bad | 19:02 |
| vlt | dr3mro: /etc/rc.local | 19:03 |
| vlt | dr3mro: (But that doesn’t fix what caused that.) | 19:03 |

| Shane-S | does sudo apt-get install linux-source get me Ubuntu modded source, or the same as going to kernels.org (I am trying to get a new netboot running via a PXE boot and Ubuntu 11 works on it, but not the kernel 3.3 from kernels.org) | 19:06 |
| dr3mro | yes I have a udev rule for my usb modem only | 19:06 |
| mirko1 | becom33: icon in the systemtray? | 19:06 |
| mirko1 | dr3mro: did you add that right before the problem appeared? | 19:07 |
| dr3mro | mirko1, no | 19:07 |

| dansul | hello | 19:10 |
| dansul | If I install ubuntu 12.04 now, will I be able to upgrade to 12.04 stable when it's released ? | 19:10 |
| bazhang | !final | dansul | 19:10 |
| ubottu | dansul: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. | 19:10 |
| mirko1 | Shane-S: no, most distro (including ubuntu) use modified kernels and it's advisable to use them instead of the vanila one from kernel.org. or you learn (tuts on the net) how to build an ubuntu kernel from the vanilla one. | 19:10 |
| dr3mro | mirko1, I did find that but upon reboot .. the same issue happens again | 19:11 |
| dansul | thanks | 19:11 |
| mneptok | Shane-S: kernel.org (no 's') | 19:12 |
| qbert_ | do you guys use any deferred / future / promises libs ? If so what do ya'll use ? | 19:12 |
| Shane-S | mirko1: so is there a way to get the modified kernel easily? I am want to see if I can use it in the PXE system to get the netbook to load (all so I am image it) | 19:13 |
| qbert_ | whoops wrong channel | 19:13 |
| mneptok | Shane-S: add the source repos in /etc/apt/sources.list and then get the -source paclages | 19:13 |
| SubstreamAI | Deja Dup and Ubuntu One... wt? is going on with this... what is it doing? Where is the backup??? | 19:13 |
| SubstreamAI | Why can't I delete old backups and start over? | 19:14 |
| mneptok | Shane-S: rather, just uncomment source lines in sources.list | 19:14 |
| SubstreamAI | What is who thinking on this design... what is it doing???? | 19:14 |
| Shane-S | mneptok: okay, but they will .deb packages right? I am not familiar with them, are they just as easy to extract a tar.gz? | 19:14 |
| Elfe | can I scroll back when looking at a manual in cli? Like man rmdir for example. | 19:15 |
| mneptok | Shane-S: the source files get unpacked for you. you actually never touch a .deb during this process. go look in your filesystem when done. | 19:15 |
| mneptok | Elfe: the arrow keys do not work? | 19:16 |
| Fyodorovna | SubstreamAI, if you want a gui and accessible backups try grsync. | 19:16 |
| Elfe | mneptok: no, just space or enter, but they only go forward :) | 19:17 |
| SubstreamAI | I'm not married to the idea of having a gui... I just want to know what its doing... where is the backup??? | 19:17 |
| SubstreamAI | before I can try something else, I want to clean up what I have | 19:17 |
| Elfe | mneptok: I'm in terminal without any GUI | 19:17 |
| SubstreamAI | I don't like having multiple gigs of backups that I can't find | 19:18 |
| Elfe | mneptok: sorry , arrows do work | 19:18 |
| SubstreamAI | its supposed to backup to Ubuntu One, but it shows 0% of my space used | 19:18 |

| pooltable | sta7ic i use xfce | 20:18 |
| rocuronium | Bitvilag: are you using the backup flag with rsync? | 20:18 |
| KM0201 | Sazpaimon_: does windows still boot? | 20:18 |
| Sazpaimon_ | yeah, just fine | 20:18 |
| KM0201 | be thankful | 20:18 |
| Sazpaimon_ | but grub just dumps me to the menu | 20:18 |
| Sazpaimon_ | or rather, the grub shell | 20:18 |
| Sazpaimon_ | i dont feel like re-downloading the tarball all over again, can i get wubi to re-try the grub installation? | 20:19 |
| KM0201 | Sazpaimon_: i wouldn;'t use wubi period... but thats just my opinion | 20:19 |
| Sazpaimon_ | also, I'm not sure if it's a regression, but wubi happily installed on a compressed NTFS volume | 20:19 |
| Sazpaimon_ | I thought that was fixed | 20:19 |
| Sazpaimon_ | KM0201, I needed a quick linux install, all my livecds are at home and I dont have them | 20:20 |
| ajwaj | xfce is good :) And you can set automatic start of gnome services if you want | 20:20 |
| CFHowlett | Sazpaimon_ unless you are using wubi for it's intended purpose, i.e. *testing* ubuntu, I'd recommend you install a proper dual boot. | 20:20 |
| Sazpaimon_ | if I had my way I'd install gentoo, but i dont feel like repartitioning | 20:20 |
| KM0201 | CFHowlett: for some reason, people always seem to overlook that, and think wubi is a permanent install | 20:20 |
| Sazpaimon_ | CFHowlett, I needed to mount a few ext4 volumes, don't have any cds handy to burn a livecd, and dont realy feel like repartitioning today | 20:21 |
| CFHowlett | Sazpaimon_ another testing option is to install virtualbox on windows, install ubuntu to virtualbox and testing it out. | 20:21 |
| Sazpaimon_ | wubi is pretty much my best bet | 20:21 |
| CFHowlett | Sazpaimon_ USB with unetbootin? | 20:21 |
| Sazpaimon_ | no flash drives | 20:21 |
| mirko1 | sta7ic: what I gathered from different people, you have to reinstall an older version without Gnome3/Unity to get back your complete Gmome2 desktop. | 20:21 |
| KM0201 | Sazpaimon_: wubi is never a best bet | 20:21 |

| vlt | What is cairo-dock? | 20:44 |
| CFHowlett | sheenzz but if you HAVE ubuntu and just want the desktop environment, sudo apt-get install lxde | 20:44 |
| yzhd | Okay, so CD-RW or DVD+R will work. | 20:44 |
| bastidrazor | vlt: i could very well be wrong then if you do not have cairo-dock installed. | 20:44 |
| PatrickC | I use a DVD+R | 20:44 |
| yzhd | ok | 20:44 |

| PatrickC | Vert, openjdk is the best imo | 20:46 |
| Vert | PatrickC: I need Sun's Java. | 20:46 |
| bastidrazor | vlt: correct, cairo-dock is not the issue, i am wrong. | 20:46 |

| Jammie | *:( | 20:46 |
| bastidrazor | !java | Vert | 20:47 |
| ubottu | Vert: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 20:47 |

| Bira | Hello, does anyone know of a good alternative to Evince on 11.10? It would be excellent if I could get a standalone version of whatever it is Chrome uses, as it usually renders better than Evince. | 20:53 |
| vlt | grendal-prime: When shrinking, first the pv then the partition. When enlarging, the other way round. | 20:54 |
| grendal-prime | i increased the drive size already | 20:54 |
| mirko1 | sheenzz: no, but you can add a shortcut using System -> Preferemces -> Keyboard Shortcuts. command to use would be gnome-system-monitor or if you want something simple gpe-taskmanager (install it first) | 20:54 |
| vlt | grendal-prime: `pvresize` | 20:55 |

| Sazpaimon | KM0201, i know right? | 20:59 |
| sheenzz | what is wubi???? | 20:59 |
| itaylor57 | waiting to explode | 20:59 |
| Sazpaimon | i think i may just use the debian win32 loader | 20:59 |
| CFHowlett | itaylor57 *properly* used, wubi is alright. | 20:59 |
| dell | does Ubuntu use the nouveau driver for nvidia cards while running the live cd? | 20:59 |
| boram | wubi sounds like a chinese product | 20:59 |
| dasei | !wubi, sheenzz | 20:59 |
| Sazpaimon | that actually will partition your device | 20:59 |
| KM0201 | CFHowlett: the problem is, so few people properly use it. | 20:59 |
| dasei | !wubi| sheenzz | 20:59 |
| ubottu | sheenzz: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe | 20:59 |

| Sazpaimon | i seriously dont know why this isnt working though | 20:59 |
| gardenguardian00 | Am I going to be ok using ubuntu to copy files to a portable WD hard drive formatted to NTFS? So many conflicting answers to this online | 21:00 |
| KM0201 | gardenguardian00: why wouldn;t you be? | 21:00 |
| dell | gardenguardian00: you'll be fine | 21:00 |
| KM0201 | i read/write to NTFS all the time | 21:00 |
| dasei | sheenzz: nice for a glance, but got some issues on ntfs concerning defgramentation | 21:00 |
| grendal-prime | gardenguardian00, just plug it in | 21:00 |
| grendal-prime | it will work | 21:00 |
| CFHowlett | gardenguardian00 on dual boot, I frequently access my windows partition. Just remember: with great power... | 21:00 |
| sheenzz | oh | 21:00 |
| boram | i used ubuntu in a vbox vm, both 32 and 64 bit, everything worked | 21:00 |
| XData2384 | this.setEncodage('UTF-8'); | 21:01 |
| boram | i gave 4 gb of ram for each vm | 21:01 |
| Sazpaimon | CFHowlett, is nomodeset still required for nvidia devices? | 21:01 |
| XData2384 | kyb | 21:02 |
| dell | does anyone know if Ubuntu uses the nouveau driver for the live cd? | 21:02 |
| dasei | sheenzz: for playing around I prefer vm's | 21:02 |
| CFHowlett | Sazpaimon I've only read about that issue... try it and see. | 21:02 |
| mateus | =p | 21:02 |
| gardenguardian00 | ok, and it shouldn't be much slower than copying files to the drive from windows, right? | 21:02 |
| Sazpaimon | Ill give it a try | 21:03 |
| Sazpaimon | okay, here we go.. again | 21:03 |
| CFHowlett | gardenguardian00 copying a 40 gigabyte music library took less than 30 minutes | 21:03 |
| mirko1 | gardenguardian00: depends. if the NTFS drive is (internaly) fragmented, then handling NTFS can take an insane amount of time | 21:04 |
| mirko1 | gardenguardian00: but normaly, it shouldn't be slower | 21:04 |
| fartofagony | hi guys | 21:04 |
| _Marcus | hi | 21:04 |
| mateus | hi | 21:05 |
| gardenguardian00 | mirko1: if this ever happened, i would just re-format? | 21:05 |
| fartofagony | so they said 11.04 was going to be the final? but they keep releasing newer? | 21:05 |
| mateus | tem algum br por aqui? | 21:05 |
| CFHowlett | gardenguardian00 you would be wise to defrag your windows partition prior to touching it with ubuntu ... | 21:05 |
| itaylor57 | fartofagony, there is a new release each 6 months | 21:05 |
| gardenguardian00 | its not a windows partition, just an external drive to transfer media to. Nothing critical | 21:06 |
| CFHowlett | fartofagony and a new Long Term Support release every two years. | 21:06 |

| fartofagony | is 10.04 the version that has never ending support? | 21:06 |
| boram | so, ubuntu 10.04 is not end-of-life yet? | 21:06 |
| fartofagony | because if so, then its comfortable | 21:06 |
| PatrickC | i love linux | 21:06 |
| mirko1 | gardenguardian00: or use a deframentation tool which can defragment the internal NTFS data-structure. (not sure, but maybe UltraDefrag can do this) | 21:06 |
| PatrickC | its letting me recover my files :) | 21:06 |
| CFHowlett | fartofagony LTS in 10.04 has 3 years support. 12.04 will have 5 years support | 21:06 |

| Helsinkiii | CFHowlett, why doesn't the system purge after a remove by itself? why does it leave lingering files? | 21:20 |
| CFHowlett | Helsinkiii by design, it only removes the app, not the configuration or data files. methinks this is a good thing... | 21:21 |

| ubottu | speedhog: 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 | 21:36 |

| mirko1 | donnie: so if I understand correctly, your friend did install Ubuntu just recently? are you sure windows is even still installed? | 21:40 |
| Bitvilag | hi there everyone: I have a question about rsync -- I managed to install and set up using the howto-s out there but i came across something none of them mentions ...everytime it syncs up it downloads 3 times the same file...why? and how can i make it to stop and download it only once...my bandwidth is not endless... | 21:40 |
| macmartine | If dir1 is owned by user1 / group1, but I want user2 to be able to read/write to that directory over sftp, should i appraoch that by adding user2 to group1? | 21:41 |
| donnie | i am not sure! i have windows 7 on a external drive i was going to try and boot it on start up but it just loads to login and wont start up | 21:41 |
| bastidrazor | macmartine: or create a group2 and add both users to it and chgrp dir1 to have group2 as the group owner | 21:41 |
| Zaitzev | pangolin: I hate having to register on the application forum just for one banale question that they might not even be able to answer, since it seems more like a system-problem than an application-problem. This has happened to other programs as well. | 21:42 |
| macmartine | bastidrazor: ok. then what would the proper chmod be? | 21:42 |
| pangolin | Zaitzev, but it may be due to some lib update and they are better suited to ask you which lib versions you have and then help fix it or update the app. | 21:43 |
| Zaitzev | pangolin: The weird thing is that it worked just fine earlier today, and there has been no updates or even usage of this computer since then. | 21:44 |
| Bitvilag | so anyone have an idea to my problem? | 21:44 |
| bastidrazor | macmartine: the directory needs read and execute for the group. i assume the owner has rwx if so then you need,, chmod 750 dir1 ..that gives r-x to the group for dir1 | 21:45 |
| w0rldlulzsec | hey | 21:45 |
| CFHowlett | w0rldlulzsec greetings | 21:46 |
| Bitvilag | does anyone know anything about rsync? | 21:46 |
| _Marcus | hi w0rldlulzsec | 21:46 |
| macmartine | bastidrazor: but then user2 can't write to that directory, right? B/c he is in the group, but not the owner | 21:46 |
| w0rldlulzsec | heave a brazilian here ? | 21:46 |
| w0rldlulzsec | or portuguese.. | 21:46 |
| CFHowlett | !br|w0rldlulzsec | 21:46 |
| ubottu | w0rldlulzsec: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 21:46 |
| _Marcus | w0rldlulzsec: This isn't a hookup room, this is Ubuntu support | 21:46 |
| bastidrazor | macmartine: the owner has its own permissions. if you want user2 to have write then use '770' instead of '750' | 21:47 |
| w0rldlulzsec | Thanks brothers | 21:47 |
| pangolin | _Marcus, did he say anything about hooking up? he asked if there were any Portuguese speakers | 21:47 |
| macmartine | bastidrazor: and i assume that's "safe"? | 21:47 |
| bastidrazor | macmartine: if you want user2 to have the ability to change anything in the directory then it is perfectly safe. | 21:48 |
| grendal-prime | I guess the confusing part is that i dont wan to add another drive i just want to extend the exsting one. | 21:48 |

| Bitvilag | does anyone know why rsync downloads 3 times the same file when sync up? | 21:49 |
| fartofagony | oh | 21:51 |
| fartofagony | did i just download the wrong file? | 21:51 |
| rocuronium | Bitvilag: what flags are you using with the rsync command? | 21:51 |
| mirko1 | lightbox: no, but the current kernel config is available per /boot/config-$(uname -r) | 21:51 |
| fartofagony | i only have the command prompt of ubuntu | 21:51 |
| mariano | hola alguien sabe de algun programa para descargar videos de youtube | 21:52 |
| Bitvilag | rocuronium: let me check | 21:52 |
| KM0201 | fartofagony: what did you download? | 21:52 |
| mirko1 | lightbox: copy that file your your kernel source directory, replacing the .config file | 21:52 |
| fartofagony | KM0201: ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386 | 21:53 |
| CFHowlett | !es|mariano | 21:53 |
| ubottu | mariano: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 21:53 |
| KM0201 | then no, you didn't download the wrong thing | 21:53 |
| KM0201 | so you're saying you only have the command prompt fartofagony ? | 21:53 |
| lightbox | mirko1: no, I have kernel_source+grsecurity | 21:53 |
| Bitvilag | rsync -avh --progress --bwlimit=350 --log-file="/home/mustang/logs/$(date +%Y%m%d)_rsync.log" "rsync://10.8.0.1/Torrent" /media/VirtualDisk/deluge/downloaded/attila/rsync | 21:53 |
| fartofagony | KM0201: yup i suspect some kind of security thing? no idea really :( | 21:53 |
| KM0201 | what makes you think its a "security" thing? | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitvilag: do you have a desktop UI? | 21:54 |
| mirko1 | lightbox: ok, and? | 21:55 |
| fartofagony | KM0201: something about locking because its guest blabla, dont remember what the text was and i pressed "continue anyway" | 21:55 |
| fartofagony | KM0201: but that wouldnt make much sense | 21:55 |
| KM0201 | fartofagony: no it wouldn't | 21:55 |
| speedhog | is there any driver i can use for intel HD graphics? im getting more than frequent lockups on any application | 21:55 |
| Bitvilag | ActionParsnip nope | 21:55 |
| lightbox | Mike9863: and I'd like to know if there is something that analyze my system and giveme the .config | 21:55 |
| Bitvilag | so any idea? | 21:56 |
| Mike9863 | lightbox: Wrong auto complete :P | 21:56 |
| rhizmoe | ugh. what has happened to whois? | 21:58 |
| lightbox | Mike9863: hehe lol i'm sorry :-p | 21:58 |
| Mike9863 | lightbox: It's alright :) | 21:58 |
| mirko1 | lightbox: there's nothing which could "scan" your system and create a kernel config. the configuration of the kernel currenctly running is, as I said in /boot/config-$(uname -r). if that doesn't suit you, you need to tell more clearly why not, :-) | 21:58 |
| fartofagony | KM0201: fixed it by just restarting. i notice that ubuntu doesnt auto detect my graphics card. is a way around? | 21:58 |
| KM0201 | whats your graphics card? | 21:59 |
| Zaitzev | well I had to actually reboot the system to get that problem I had, to vanish. Who would've thunk? | 21:59 |
| lightbox | mirko1: ok :-) thanks :-) | 21:59 |
| Bitvilag | so noone has a possible solution to my rsync problem? | 21:59 |
| fartofagony | KM0201: ati radeon 4650 | 21:59 |
| matrix | Okay i need recommendation on best software for home server. Anyone who has an opinion would be awesome. I'm tech savvy, but not Linux savvy so something not to complicated. | 22:00 |
| matrix | Ill be using DnyDns | 22:00 |
| KM0201 | fartofagony: go to the unity dash and search for "Additional Drivers" see if it gives you the option to install an ATI driver. | 22:00 |
| Bitvilag | matrix: ubuntu is great for server | 22:00 |
| fartofagony | KM0201: ah thanks | 22:00 |
| Jon-- | After enabled compiz, my <Super>+Q bind I set up with xbindkeys is not working. How can I fix this? | 22:00 |
| CFHowlett | Bitvilag ask in #rysnc | 22:00 |
| mirko1 | !best | matrix | 22:00 |
| ubottu | matrix: 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. | 22:00 |
| * KM0201 thinks ubuntu server is pretty darn slick. | 22:00 | |
| fartofagony | KM0201: sorry! another question if you dont mind: in this new version where the logikn section is, isnt there an option to apply the classical look of ubuntu?` | 22:01 |
| * Bitvilag is desperate | 22:01 | |
| CFHowlett | Bitvilag ask in #rysnc | 22:01 |
| matrix | Sorry ubottu. Ill be webhosting and FTP. I respect those who know and was gonna go with what was recommended. | 22:01 |
| KM0201 | fartofagony: where the login section is? you mean the login screen? | 22:02 |
| fartofagony | KM0201: yup | 22:02 |
| Bitvilag | CFHowlett: didnt know there is a channel like that | 22:02 |
| KM0201 | fartofagony: ... i'm honestly not sure... i would think so.. but.. honestly I don't use Ubuntu anymore, so i'm not 100% sure, | 22:02 |
| Bitvilag | matrix: ubuntu server is great for that with apache2 and proftpd | 22:02 |
| rocuronium | Bitvilag: I remember something similar happening once, but what it ended up being was that I had used the backup flag once, and it kept syncing the backup file as well. | 22:02 |
| fartofagony | KM0201: ah, ok ! no problems! :D thanks for the heklp with the other problems | 22:03 |

| athena007 | yes | 22:10 |
| athena007 | is the no way to issues options to the boot process at boot time to skip the service | 22:11 |
| ceres | is there an iptables channel? | 22:12 |
| dlentz | i would personally boot a livecd and delete the binary/start script, but that's an ugly hack | 22:12 |
| beandog | that's not an ugly hack | 22:12 |
| beandog | it's quite reasonable | 22:12 |
| beandog | oh, don't delete the *script*, just delete it from the rc runlevels | 22:12 |
| athena007 | hmm actually its debian squeeze not ubuntu | 22:13 |
| athena007 | no live cd option | 22:14 |

| _Marcus | athena007: I don't think support is given here for Debain | 22:14 |
| nibbler__ | athena007, add boot option: init=/bin/bash and delete the links in the runlevel ("mount -oremount,rw /" might be needed before deleting) | 22:14 |
| speedhog | im considering getting a previous version | 22:14 |
| athena007 | nibbler__: please explain further | 22:15 |
| mirko1 | athena007: somewhat hard to beleive that a service grabs that deep in to the system, but maybe you can use a kernel command-line argument like "init=/bin/sh" to bypass the whole init process, get a plain console and repair/remove it there. | 22:15 |
| dlentz | athena007, you don't need an ubuntu/debian livecd/usb, just about any linux that allows you to mount your filesystem will od | 22:16 |

| ActionParsnip | shake: if the file was writable by your user you could use >> instead but sudo doesn't traverse the operator, so you have to pipe to sudo tee | 22:46 |

| ActionParsnip | shake: for example, running 'ls $HOME' will list the folders in home, if you run: 'ls $HOME | grep D it will show all the files and folders with an uppercase 'D' in them | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | shake: obviously omit the quotes | 22:49 |
| shake | yea, that's sick, I've heard about pipes and shit before, but I thought it was much more in depth | 22:49 |
| shake | so in that command echo "options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55" | 22:50 |
| mirko1 | joallard: "doesn't boot anymore" is a wide range from doesn't even get power to i cannot log in, you need to provide a lot more infro at what step it stops | 22:50 |
| shake | gives the output of the string "options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55" | 22:50 |
| shake | and then that pipes into sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 22:50 |
| shake | which adds the line to the file? | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | shake: exactly | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | shake: I just added the > /dev/null because the command also outputs to the screen | 22:51 |
| === bladernr_ is now known as bladernr_afk | ||
| joallard | My bootup stops. How do I find the problem? | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | joallard: remove the boot options: quiet splash and you can watch the boot | 22:51 |
| MrAtlas | Hello all! I got a call from a friend saying he couldn't watch videos on that site letmewatchthis.com. i | 22:52 |
| shake | that's so gnarlyo | 22:52 |
| Dulak | shake: Yup, and tee is like a T shaped pipe, output comes in, and is output to 2 different places | 22:52 |
| shake | that's awesome | 22:52 |
| shammancer | Ok is there a way to make an alias for a directory? | 22:52 |
| shake | so in this case it was outputted to /dev/null and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 22:52 |
| shammancer | and what is ~ anyways? | 22:52 |
| Dulak | shammancer: you would symlink a directory: ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination | 22:52 |
| shake | ~ is your home directory | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | shake: its handy for adding junk to text files like that :) | 22:52 |
| joallard | ActionParsnip: I just did that. Last line is "starting timidity++ ALSA midi emulation [OK]". This doesn't seem to be the problem. What should I be looking for? | 22:52 |
| shake | that's awesome | 22:53 |
| shake | wait, but why did you output it to /dev/null? | 22:53 |
| MrAtlas | is there any plugin he can download or is he SOL. i knoe those sites are usually unsafe. | 22:53 |
| shammancer | How does ~ work is a better question? (Sorry about the question) | 22:53 |
| shammancer | the last one | 22:53 |
| summershyn | Have anyone tried FreeBSD?I want to try it ,but I don't know the diffrence between FreeBSD and Linux | 22:53 |
| szal | !ot | summershyn | 22:54 |
| ubottu | summershyn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | shake: if you don't add it, it outputs to both the screen and file, so I shoved the screen text to /dev/null so it didn't show | 22:54 |
| Dulak | shammancer: it's part of the shell, it's like an alias that is built in, whenever the shell sees ~, it replaces it with your home directory | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | shake: ~ = /home/$USER = $HOME | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | shammancer: ^ | 22:55 |
| shake | oh, ok | 22:56 |
| shake | ActionParsnip: thanks so much for the help man | 22:56 |
| felipe_Brz | is there a way to create a 'shortcut' to '/var/www' so I don't have to type cd /var/www *every* time ? | 22:57 |
| shake | ls | grep x | 22:57 |
| benwalburn | I'm trying to use wget to download a 105mb file on a poor connection, but the download always completes at around 20mb higher than it's supposed to be. What am I doing wrong? | 22:57 |
| shake | sorry, meant to do that in terminal lol | 22:57 |
| shammancer | so is there a way to use another symbol like ! for example to some other directory? | 22:57 |
| Dulak | felipe_: you could alias it: alias www='cd /var/www' | 22:57 |
| felipe_Brz | so cd www directs me to that directory? | 22:58 |
| Dulak | felipe_: if you alias it like that you just type www<enter> | 22:58 |
| === haz3lnut_zzz is now known as haz3lnut | ||
| felipe_Brz | cool | 22:58 |
| felipe_Brz | Dulak: thanks | 22:58 |
| szal | but make sure beforehand that what you want to use as a shortcut isn't already in use for something else | 22:58 |
| shammancer | Thanks Dulak btw I think I figured it out | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | shake: np man, thanks for the gratitude :) | 22:59 |
| autojack | I'm having a very, very strange problem with a shell script in Ubuntu that was working fine in Debian. I have traced it down to one line, which runs 'source blah.' when I run that line manually, it works fine. when I run it via my shell script, it fails with no error output. as far as I can tell it is NOT this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/670191/getting-a-source-not-found-error-when-using-source-in-a-bash-script I am calling /bin/bash explici | 22:59 |
| autojack | :) | 22:59 |
| autojack | this has been driving me INSANE since Friday. | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | autojack: why do you need to run source? | 23:00 |
| === MogDog is now known as Guest74199 | ||
| autojack | ActionParsnip: my bash script is trying to load rvm for itself. | 23:00 |
| szal | autojack: mind your line length, or use an IRC client that does the math for you & breaks the line automagically | 23:00 |
| autojack | that is how their docs tell you to do it. | 23:00 |
| haz3lnut | autojack: are you specifiying the full path of blah? | 23:01 |
| autojack | szal: surprised irssi doesn't do that. | 23:01 |
| Jordan_U | autojack: Please pastebin the entire script, or (better) a small script which demonstrates only the problem you're having. | 23:01 |
| Myrtti | autojack: splitlong.pl | 23:01 |
| szal | autojack: indeed it doesn't | 23:01 |
| === Guest74199 is now known as MogDog | ||
| autojack | haz3lnut: I am specifying it via "$HOME/foo/script" | 23:01 |
| szal | Myrtti: has that been fixed in the meantime for UTF-8 use? | 23:01 |
| haz3lnut | autojack: Does echo $HOME return what you expect in the script? | 23:02 |
| autojack | Jordan_U: good idea. let me see if I can narrow it down. | 23:02 |
| Myrtti | szal: I don't have problems with it, it's fine in my use but YMMV | 23:02 |
| autojack | haz3lnut: yeah, that's one of the REALLY weird things. when I echo it out running the script in the way that makes it work, AND not work, it's identical. | 23:02 |
| szal | Myrtti: I hadn't either when I still used Irssi, but there were problems w/ e.g. Russian text | 23:02 |
| autojack | oops hang on, someone in #rvm has a suggestion. | 23:03 |
| itaylor57 | its a dash vs bash thing methinks | 23:03 |
| autojack | itaylor57: that was my guess, except that my script excplicitly has #!/bin/bash | 23:03 |
| itaylor57 | dash donsn't know source bash does | 23:03 |
| === profx is now known as profxavier | ||
| autojack | AND I am running it 'bash script.sh' | 23:03 |
| szal | autojack: do you have bash installed? afaik, on *buntu bash is a symlink to dash | 23:03 |
| joallard | How do I see the past boot log? | 23:04 |
| Jordan_U | szal: No, /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/dash. | 23:04 |
| autojack | yeah I am positive that I am running bash for real here, unless something EXTREMELY bizarre is going on. | 23:04 |
| autojack | I was bitten by the /bin/sh problem already as part of this process. | 23:05 |
| autojack | "problem" is not the right word perhaps ;) | 23:05 |
| autojack | but I fixed that. | 23:05 |
| jrib | autojack: why don't you pastebin the script, your attempt at running it, the output, and what you expected instead | 23:05 |
| haz3lnut | autojack: there's also #bash | 23:05 |

| autojack | jrib: let me see if the RVM guy can help, I think this might be a bug in his code. I'll come back if not. | 23:07 |
| autojack | I was just worried this might be another Ubuntu-specific thing, along the lines of the dash issue. | 23:07 |
| szal | Guest87023: for starters, don't run Xchat w/ superuser privileges | 23:08 |
| haz3lnut | autojack: I use source in a script and it works fine. | 23:08 |

| troulouliou_dev | hi what is the best way to have an automatic uptodate Sun java ? | 23:09 |
| jrib | troulouliou_dev: use the repositories | 23:09 |
| troulouliou_dev | it is not in the repo anymore | 23:10 |
| jrib | !java | 23:10 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 23:10 |
| synergizm | good answer :D | 23:10 |
| jrib | troulouliou_dev: don't know then if you want to use oracle's version | 23:10 |
| synergizm | NOT !^^ | 23:10 |
| troulouliou_dev | i v got some freeze with oracle sqldeveloper | 23:11 |
| haz3lnut | benwalburn: I'm guessing you're reading the size of the file wrong, whether MiB or MB | 23:11 |
| troulouliou_dev | i think this is maybe openjdk related | 23:11 |
| troulouliou_dev | but there is no repo that keep sun java uptodate | 23:11 |
| locuse | hi. i'm modifying my remote status-check scripts to use upstart rather than chkconfig. "service --status-all" provides no run-level toggle info as "chkconfig --list --all" did. i *do* see chkconfig pkg is available for Ubuntu. is it still used/useful for the runlevel info? or is chkconfig considered deprecated, and there's an equivalent, more-informative "service ..." cmd? | 23:12 |
| locuse | here's what the output of chkconfig looked like for me before -- http://pastebin.com/d5L97JJM. note that it says nothing about actual running status, just the @boot per-runlevel toggle state | 23:12 |
| Oscailt | Ubuntu doesn't support Sun Java anymore, that is correct | 23:12 |
| benwalburn | haz3lnut: I've downloaded the file 4 times and I get a different size each time | 23:12 |
| haz3lnut | benwalburn: that's a problem | 23:12 |
| jrib | benwalburn: try wget -c if the server supports resuming | 23:13 |
| L3top_ | where is available package data stored when one does an update? | 23:13 |
| wchan_ | anyone can tell me approx. the order of magnitude of speedup for ATLAS vs netlib BLAS for vector-matrix multiplication of the magintude 1024x1024 sized matrices.... just approximately the order of magnitude of speed up.... trying to justify whether the pain of ATLAS is worth it... | 23:13 |
| benwalburn | jrib: I've been doing that. several times, in fact. maybe my connection is just too screwed up | 23:13 |
| bastidrazor | L3top_: you mean the .deb files it downloads? | 23:14 |
| jrib | benwalburn: shouldn't the file be getting bigger than? | 23:14 |
| L3top_ | no... the available debs in the repositories | 23:14 |
| L3top_ | which the install/upgrade checks against | 23:14 |
| Flip_ | I know this Ubuntu channel - but I can't get into Apache2 or Linux - Does anyone know about Apache2 webdav user permissions on the (www-data) user account | 23:14 |
| Flip_ | need help desparately | 23:14 |
| jrib | Flip_: #httpd is the apache channel | 23:15 |
| szal | heard someone say the other day that you don't use WebDAV unless you want to be hacked | 23:15 |
| benwalburn | jrib: why would the file become larger than it's listed on the internet? also the md5's don't match | 23:15 |
| szal | or was it webmin? | 23:15 |
| Flip_ | I tried that one - I get red lined saying cannot send to channel | 23:15 |
| jrib | benwalburn: the file on your computer. | 23:16 |
| szal | *scratches head* | 23:16 |
| L3top_ | There is a local cache somewhere which stores available packages in repos... I just want to know where that lives. | 23:16 |

| benwalburn | jrib: what about it? | 23:16 |
| zykotick9 | L3top_: "available"? packages that are downloaded are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives | 23:16 |
| jrib | benwalburn: it should be getting bigger... | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | szal: webmin doesnt work well with ubuntu | 23:17 |
| Flip_ | well a side note then -- | 23:17 |
| dell | good evening everyone | 23:17 |
| Flip_ | anyone know a better way to manage files such s Word DOCS (my homework actually) remotely | 23:17 |
| szal | zykotick9: if you haven't gotten it yet, he talks about the pkg lists | 23:17 |
| benwalburn | jrib: but shouldn't it stop growing when the download completes? My download completes much larger than the original file | 23:17 |
| beandog | Flip_: google docs :) | 23:18 |
| jrib | benwalburn: oh, I thought it was the other way around. Sounds like a server issue tbh | 23:18 |
| Flip_ | I got webdav working but when I get home to access them on local drive I don't have permissions to make changes - everything I edited remotely is read only | 23:18 |
| L3top_ | Yes zykotick9. When you type apt-get update, a list of available packages is downloaded for each repository. When, for instance, you type apt-cache policy, this local cache of available versions is checked against your installed (if any) version. | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Flip_: dropbox :) | 23:19 |
| zykotick9 | szal: thanks. L3top_ ahh, sorry i'm not sure where/how that info is stored. Good luck. | 23:19 |
| jrib | Flip_: just use ssh? | 23:19 |
| benwalburn | jrib: I was afraid of that. It would also explain why it doesn't work on my android dl managers either. I was hoping I was doing something wrong | 23:19 |
| dell | sudo apt-cache policy all | 23:19 |
| dell | oooop | 23:19 |
| dell | s | 23:19 |
| Flip_ | I guess the main reason I was using webdav is to edit them on my ipad | 23:19 |
| jrib | dell: no sudo necessary there | 23:19 |
| zykotick9 | dell: fyi, apt-cache doesn't require sudo | 23:19 |
| dell | okies | 23:20 |
| Flip_ | can you access ssh through GUI | 23:20 |
| Flip_ | ei - my macbook remotely | 23:20 |
| jrib | Flip_: yes, you can use fugu or maybe even default finder | 23:20 |
| Flip_ | thanks for the advice. | 23:22 |
| dell | so if I wanted to install a package without any queries I'd do "sudo apt-get install -y <package>" | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | dell: sounds good | 23:23 |
| dell | cool | 23:23 |
| joallard | How do I see the last update package actions? | 23:23 |
| anthropos | the queries are generally there for your benefit, though | 23:23 |

| adrian_berg | i need read/write access to the usb drives that are plugged into the computer | 23:24 |
| Flip_ | one other question? Would anyone know who to run a scheduled recurring script in terminal - such as "sudo chown -R user:group /path/path" | 23:24 |

| Panthalaimon | Hello there. I have a question. I mainly use Ubuntu for my daily computing needs, but I have an NTFS drive with bad blocks on it that I use as a go-between drive, and CHKDSK /R gives me a BSOD when I try to run that, from a different Windows install, so I have to use another OS. I thought Linux had something in ntfsprogs or NTFS-3G for this, but ntfsfix does not, and there's no man page for ntfsck... can anyone help? | 23:26 |
| OysterCult | what are the main differences between 11.04 and 11.10 | 23:27 |
| mobilenoob11 | Don't know why its crashing then, othert han my antique system. | 23:27 |
| Flip_ | one is .06 higher | 23:27 |
| anthropos | i realize this doesn't answer your question, but using a modern drive with bad blocks is kinda scary.... | 23:27 |
| Quantum_Ion | OysterCult, version number | 23:27 |
| szal | OysterCult: 6 months of development | 23:27 |
| Jordan_U | Panthalaimon: You have a hardware problem, and hardware problems with disks tend to get worse not better. There is nothing that any software can do to prevent your drive from eventually dieing. | 23:27 |
| L3top_ | at least I think thats it... | 23:28 |
| Quantum_Ion | Panthalaimon, Buy a new drive without bad blocks problem solved | 23:28 |
| anthropos | I would rescue the data, wipe the drive and then toss it | 23:28 |
| mirko1 | Flip_: cron job | 23:28 |
| Flip_ | Quantum_Ion i agree | 23:28 |
| Quantum_Ion | Flip_, :) | 23:28 |
| Flip_ | mirko1 is that a scheduler that runs in gnome> | 23:28 |
| OysterCult | like to update from 11.04 to 11.10 but I see some of the posts here and some programs have conflicts. | 23:29 |
| Panthalaimon | Jordan_U, Quantum_Ion: I am aware of that, and am planning to get a new drive, the data has been backed up, but in the meantime, I still need the drive, is there a way to mark those bad blocks as bad blocks from Ubuntu so that the OS does not BSOD on me? | 23:29 |
| Quantum_Ion | Panthalaimon, Oh boy ! | 23:29 |
| anthropos | does the badblocks command not work | 23:30 |
| OysterCult | If I were to update would I lose my data for Thunderbird and things like that? | 23:30 |
| Panthalaimon | Had a similar problem with an ext3 drive, but that was easy, native support and all. | 23:30 |
| Panthalaimon | anthropos, It would, but I'm not sure how to use that to achieve my goals. | 23:30 |
| Jordan_U | anthropos: the badblocks command will find bad blocks, but it won't change the filesystem to avoid them. | 23:30 |
| mirko1 | Panthalaimon: if it really has bad blocks and neither the disk nor Windows/Linux can handle it, that you really should replace the disk | 23:30 |
| Panthalaimon | anthropos, It mentions feeding the output back to an fsck program. While there appears to be ntfsck, there's no man page for it. | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | OysterCult: no, only the binaries are updated and the config files for the app, the userdata in $HOME is untouched | 23:31 |
| OctoByte | hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I just installed arch linux. Trying to boot up for the first time I get an error | 23:31 |
| OctoByte | "fsck.ntfs not found" | 23:31 |
| szal | OctoByte: try #archlinux | 23:31 |
| OctoByte | thanks | 23:31 |
| Quantum_Ion | szal, :) | 23:31 |
| Panthalaimon | mirko1, Linux can handle it. It will read data happily from it, and complain about the bad blocks in the kernel logs, but it's reading it from any Windows machine that's an issue, to the extent that CHKDSK from a Windows box will crash, when trying to scan for bad blocks. | 23:32 |
| mirko1 | Flip_: no, it's the basic scheduled task system of linux/unix. you can try GUI frontends such as gnome-schedule | 23:32 |
| Panthalaimon | Also, fsck.ntfs does not link to anything ntfs. :S | 23:32 |
| Quantum_Ion | I can not emphasis how important it is to have a good portable USB hardrive for Ubuntu Linux backups | 23:33 |
| Jordan_U | Panthalaimon: There is no fsck for ntfs, period. | 23:33 |
| tiox | [Low priority] 11.10, using a GTK3 theme but special applications like update-manager and synaptic do not adopt it. Is this strictly a GTK2 limitation or is it resolvable? | 23:33 |
| Jordan_U | Panthalaimon: You might get some helpful advice in ##windows. | 23:33 |
| tiox | I remember once this happened when theming, all I did was made a synlink to the theme I am using and it picked it up. | 23:33 |
| tiox | symlink* | 23:34 |
| Flip_ | mirko1 i found the man 5 crontab and i'd rather run it through terminal anyway - thanks I like this already | 23:34 |
| Panthalaimon | Jordan_U, ntfsprogs and NTFS-3G both have ntfsfix and ntfsck... latter has no man page. | 23:34 |
| Mike9863 | Icons are showing on menus and buttons even though I have the options disabled under desktop -> gnome -> interface under gconf-editor. How can I disable these icons? | 23:34 |
| anthropos | i don't have a man page for it either | 23:34 |
| Panthalaimon | Jordan_U, I suspect that's because it does not do much. | 23:34 |
| anthropos | i assume you had no luck finding documentation online? | 23:35 |
| Panthalaimon | anthropos, Not much, no. | 23:37 |
| anthropos | sorry I can't be of more help, it looks like you are on the right track though | 23:38 |
| jlkkljh | it opened up a grub command prompt what do i do????? | 23:38 |
| Entelin | what is the proper way to adjust the niceness that a service runs at? (perminately) | 23:38 |
| Panthalaimon | Gah. I keep hitting brick walls with this NTFS stuff. I'm glad I switched but the wife is not that keen. | 23:39 |
| anthropos | i assume your new drive is in the mail.... | 23:39 |
| Loshki | Panthalaimon: There isn't much, but see: http:/http://www.ehow.com/how_6827933_check-ntfs-partition-linux.html/www.ehow.com/how_6827933_check-ntfs-partition-linux.html | 23:39 |
| jlkkljh | it opened up a grub command prompt what do i do????? | 23:39 |
| anthropos | jlkkljh: what are you trying to do | 23:40 |
| jlkkljh | boot kubuntu | 23:40 |
| anthropos | a live cd or an install? | 23:40 |
| jlkkljh | install | 23:40 |
| azend | I've got a question | 23:40 |
| anthropos | did it work before? | 23:40 |
| paradizelost | Hey all, i'm trying to set up apache so that i can connect to ssh via a it. any idea how i'd do this? what i'm finding is for double-hop proxies | 23:40 |
| jlkkljh | it will on 1 mode | 23:40 |
| azend | If Ubuntu were a flavour, what flavour would it be? | 23:41 |
| Panthalaimon | Loshki, Having a look now. | 23:41 |
| jlkkljh | but | 23:41 |
| anthropos | i don't really understand jlkkljh, can you be more specific about your problem and how it arose | 23:41 |
| mirko1 | Entelin: edit the init script that starts the service | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | paradizelost: like a web based ssh? so you don't need an SSH client? | 23:41 |
| Quantum_Ion | Panthalaimon, Have you tried Parted Magic ->http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=screenshots | 23:41 |
| jlkkljh | it says no prefix assigned | 23:42 |
| faryshta | hi. How do I install flash? | 23:42 |
| paradizelost | ActionParsnip, more of a proxy that i can have ssh tunnel through | 23:42 |
| Panthalaimon | Loshki, I've literally hit about as much information. I was hoping on something that told me what flags it took. | 23:42 |
| jlkkljh | i press esc on keyboard | 23:42 |
| Panthalaimon | Quantum_Ion, No. But I'll look. | 23:42 |
| glen_3b | faryshta: Software center | 23:42 |
| Quantum_Ion | Panthalaimon, Burn an ISO it helps you graphically partition your hard drives | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | paradizelost: use the vnc guide but use apache | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | paradizelost | 23:42 |
| ubottu | paradizelost: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 23:42 |
| Entelin | mirko1, thats what i'm doing now, I just wanted to see if there was a builtin way | 23:42 |
| anthropos | paradizelost: are sure there isn't a better way to do what you want | 23:43 |
| Panthalaimon | Quantum_Ion, I'm not looking to partition it, just a means to mark the bad blocks as such from outside of Windows. | 23:43 |
| jlkkljh | i choose acpi work arounds | 23:43 |
| Karmaon | How do I NOT install grub or ubuntu onto a flashdrive? | 23:43 |
| Loshki | Panthalaimon: you'll find the same thing others have already said. Some distros have ntfsck, some don't, there is a workaround for those that don't, but it's no substitute for a true windows chkdsk. | 23:43 |
| jlkkljh | it boots | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Karmaon: don't use the ubuntu ISO, you wont install either | 23:43 |
| paradizelost | anthropos if there's a java or otherwise based web client that doesn't require the connection to come from my actual client PC, but rather the web server i log onto, that would work as well | 23:43 |
| paradizelost | but i'm hoping to be able to tunnel other traffic through it | 23:43 |
| jlkkljh | to the blue screen of kubuntu and it brings up amouse and thats it | 23:44 |
| anthropos | paradizelost: what do you want to do? | 23:44 |
| Quantum_Ion | Panthalaimon, You might want to use Parted Magic and create new and clean NTFS partition ? | 23:44 |
| jlkkljh | and than it freezes up but the mouse can still move | 23:44 |
| anthropos | ssh will let you tunnel traffic w/o apache | 23:44 |
| paradizelost | anthropos connect via ssh to several systems i have behind my firewall, also tunnel RDP to my PC | 23:44 |
| paradizelost | the problem is, my work network blocks ssh | 23:45 |
| mirko1 | Entelin: not that i know off :-) | 23:45 |
| jlkkljh | it tries to load something but nothing happens | 23:45 |
| Quantum_Ion | Panthalaimon, Sometimes when I upgrade Linux I will make a back up of my /home /etc/ directory and scrub the old Linux partition with Parted Magic | 23:45 |
| Panthalaimon | Quantum_Ion, I would, but then, I think that I could get away even with mkfs.ntfs. | 23:45 |
| anthropos | paradizelost: did you try just changing the ssh port from 22 to something else | 23:45 |
| anthropos | e.g. the https port | 23:45 |
| paradizelost | anthropos i need apache on 80/443 though. | 23:45 |
| jlkkljh | thats my problem | 23:45 |
| anthropos | i doubt they do any real packet inspection | 23:45 |
| paradizelost | http://dag.wieers.com/howto/ssh-http-tunneling/ << is what i've been trying to follow | 23:45 |
| anthropos | pick a different port. do they allow any others? | 23:45 |
| Panthalaimon | Quantum_Ion, I've done it too in the past, just not with Parted Magic. Whatever comes with my flavour of Ubuntu's usually been more than enough in the past. Just not for this particular NTFS crossover nonsense. :( | 23:46 |
| jlkkljh | it will not load the login screen | 23:46 |
| azend | mirko1: blocks ssh or blocks port 22 :o | 23:46 |
| jlkkljh | but can see a mouse | 23:46 |
| anthropos | otherwise you could put in some iptables rules to deal with this in a clever way (e.g. route traffic coming to 443 from you work to a local ssh) | 23:46 |
| paradizelost | anthropos i'm trying to do it on a port that will always be open. no place is going to block 443 or 80 | 23:46 |
| Entelin | mirko1, ok thanks | 23:46 |
| anthropos | doing it THROUGH apache seems like a bad idea, to me. | 23:46 |
| jlkkljh | cant go to any other mode but acpi work arounds | 23:46 |
| L3top_ | it was /var/lib/apt/lists btw | 23:46 |
| eph_ | hi, how can I change xfce's panel background? I created a gtkrc-2.0 file containing a path to the image but it keeps telling me "unable to locate in pxmap path" | 23:47 |
| Quantum_Ion | Panthalaimon, Okay I see you use the Ubuntu Linux partitioner sometimes when I upgrade the Ubuntu Linux partitioner has a mind of it's own and will resize partitions on it's own and preserve old Ubuntu Linux it's weird | 23:47 |
| === paradizelost is now known as paradizelost_ | ||
| paradizelost_ | be back in a bit. supper | 23:47 |
| anthropos | you may be able to achieve what you want via single packet authorization | 23:48 |
| anthropos | i.e. routing traffic from a remote host to ssh provided the appropriate knock is given | 23:48 |
| anthropos | otherwise route to apache | 23:48 |
| Panthalaimon | Quantum_Ion, I tend to over-write the Ubuntu installs, keeping my /home. | 23:48 |
| jlkkljh | i did get past the grub screen | 23:48 |
| mirko1 | eph: you need to set pixmap_path accordingly | 23:49 |
| scottj | what command should I run to see continuously what apps/pids are trying to make outbound connections and the destination ip/port? | 23:49 |
| Quantum_Ion | Panthalaimon, What is funny is you can take Parted Magic and delete partitions on anyone's computer and they end up losing their whole operating system | 23:49 |
| eph_ | mirko: yes, i have set up the path in consequence and checked in terminal, the path is correct | 23:50 |
| jlkkljh | it will not boot kubuntuboot kubuntu | 23:50 |

| ActionParsnip | jlkkljh: what GPU do you use? | 23:50 |
| Panthalaimon | Quantum_Ion, Definitely what I have in mind... | 23:50 |
| jlkkljh | ?? | 23:50 |
| jlkkljh | gpu?? | 23:50 |
| anthropos | paradizelost_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortKnocking is probably the best solution if you insist on ocnnecting to a port already occupied by the apache server | 23:50 |
| anthropos | and you want to be able to do it from anywhere (not just your work) | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jlkkljh: video chip... | 23:51 |
| jlkkljh | idk | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jlkkljh: does the system have a make and model? | 23:51 |
| jlkkljh | yes | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jlkkljh: care to share it? | 23:52 |
| jlkkljh | gateway | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jlkkljh: ok, which model gateway? | 23:52 |
| jlkkljh | hold on | 23:52 |
| jlkkljh | checking | 23:52 |
| anthropos | paradizelost_: this is probably more secure, but same idea: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SinglePacketAuthorization | 23:53 |
| jlkkljh | 510 sp gateway | 23:53 |
| anthropos | paradizelost_: you probably need the latter if you want to run on to of an open port (apache) | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | jlkkljh: ok let me search | 23:54 |
| Ginny | hello? | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | jlkkljh: and you get a black screen when you boot? | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | hi Ginny | 23:54 |
| jlkkljh | yes | 23:54 |
| SDr | hi guys, while trying to connect to a freesshd windows box, I'm getting "remote port forwarding failed for listen port" failure. Port isn't taken by any other service, and the same command to a linux box succeeds | 23:54 |
| SDr | freesshd has tunneling enabled | 23:55 |
| SDr | (reverse tunneling) | 23:55 |
| SDr | any ideas what might I be doing wrong? | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | jlkkljh | 23:55 |
| ubottu | jlkkljh: 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 | 23:55 |

| Quantum_Ion | Panthalaimon, Burn an iso of Parted Magic http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=start and Dariks Boot Nuke -> http://www.dban.org/ | 23:56 |
| jlkkljh | how do you boot that way???? | 23:56 |
| SDr | what's even more strange, is that *after* I ssh in, I can open the port for listening | 23:56 |
| Quantum_Ion | Panthalaimon, Keep them handy use Darik's Boot Nuke to scrub your USB and hard disks clean | 23:57 |
| zykotick9 | SDr: what does this have to do with ubuntu? | 23:57 |
| anthropos | SDr: what ssh command do you use | 23:57 |
| jlkkljh | i can press esc 2ce and get a grub command prompt but it says no prefix set before it boots this way | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | jlkkljh: you should be holding shift at boot | 23:58 |
| jlkkljh | why | 23:58 |
| jlkkljh | what does that do | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: or use shred from the ubuntu liveCD, or install bleachbit | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | jlkkljh: allows you to add boot options... | 23:58 |
| SDr | anthropos, ssh Administrator@remotecomputer.com -R 11000:mylocalnetcomputer:1433 -p 8081 -v | 23:58 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Yeah I use bleachbit a lot | 23:59 |
| anthropos | SDr: if you use -f or -n does it make a difference | 23:59 |
