| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, I was going to show you this script that removes old kernels when you upgrade | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| SDr | anthropos, nope | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: i've seen a command that does it and its not very readable, scary times | 00:00 |
| anthropos | SDr: what about higher vebosity (extra -v) | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: I have a script, its not very graceful though :) | 00:00 |
| anthropos | -v, -vv, -vvv | 00:00 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, I call it ubuntucleaner.sh | 00:00 |
| === root is now known as Guest11278 | ||
| dr3mro | Quantum_Ion, can you pastebin the script | 00:01 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Here it is -> http://pastebin.com/ykYMAypn | 00:01 |
| Quantum_Ion | dr3mro, Just name the script ubuntucleaner.sh | 00:02 |
| Quantum_Ion | and chmod +x and run as root | 00:02 |
| anthropos | SDr: also -O forward and/or letting the server pick the port (set the server port to 0) | 00:02 |
| SDr | anthropos, -vvv: http://pastebin.com/hditxdbQ | 00:03 |
| dr3mro | Quantum_Ion, THANK YOU ! :) I will rewrite it to make it more cutomizable so a user would chooses only one action to launch :) | 00:03 |
| dr3mro | Quantum_Ion, thnx | 00:03 |
| philip__ | Hello guys. I'm having problems with my HDD not being identified properly by name from the bios and ubuntu as well. While cloning this drive i found out that my partitions are messed up. Could that be the reason? http://pastebin.com/Pe9BCedy | 00:03 |
| anthropos | try setting the listen port to 0 | 00:03 |
| Quantum_Ion | dr3mro, Did it work! | 00:03 |
| dr3mro | Quantum_Ion, I already used it b4 | 00:04 |
| Quantum_Ion | dr3mro, okay | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: http://paste.ubuntu.com/901373/ | 00:04 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Thanks | 00:05 |
| SDr | anthropos, remote forward failure for: listen 0, connect myremotecomp:1433 | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: mines called removeOldKernels (I don't add the .sh extension as it isn't needed) | 00:05 |
| anthropos | odd | 00:05 |
| anthropos | is the remote machine behind a firewall | 00:05 |
| SDr | (also, Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 0 just after that) | 00:05 |
| anthropos | the windows machine you're sshing to | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: I also have CLI imgur upload: http://paste.ubuntu.com/901377/ | 00:05 |
| SDr | anthropos, yes, it has only 3 ports open (ssh, http, https) | 00:06 |
| SDr | anthropos, does ssh reverse port forwarding need another port? | 00:06 |
| dr3mro | ActionParsnip, Quantum_Ion I am having an Idea to make a new security model for ubuntu :) ?? Can we use md5sum that is already there on dpkg db to check executables md5sums before execution and prevent exection of any script outside /bin /usr/bin ... and warn the user for bad commands like rm -rf /* any ideas! | 00:06 |
| anthropos | did you try explicitly opening the port you want to ssh to instead of trying to get it work using a stateful rule | 00:06 |
| anthropos | nm | 00:06 |
| anthropos | you are doing -R | 00:06 |
| anthropos | it should not be an issue | 00:06 |
| Quantum_Ion | dr3mro, interesting idea | 00:07 |
| anthropos | it should not require any extra ports | 00:07 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, What does that last script do ? | 00:07 |
| SDr | anthalamus, also, nc -l -p 10000 on the remote machine succeeds | 00:07 |
| anthropos | so this works just fine if the server is running linux | 00:07 |
| anthropos | ? | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: uploads to imgur and makes a URL of the image for you | 00:07 |
| SDr | anthalamus, yes | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: kinda like pastebinit but for images | 00:07 |
| anthropos | bizarre | 00:07 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, okay | 00:07 |
| dr3mro | Quantum_Ion, when ubuntu become more popular it should prepare for viruses that are wating to be created for ubuntu | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: I have a getkey script for when users forget to import gpg keys | 00:08 |
| SDr | anthropos, freesshd 1.2.4 on the server, OpenSSH_4.6p1 on the client | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: my favourite is http://paste.ubuntu.com/901384/ | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: that gets ran a few times a day | 00:08 |
| === Guest5927 is now known as nOOb | ||
| anthropos | so you anticipate this command opening up a port on the remote server to which you can connect to from your local machine and have your traffic forwarded to wherever | 00:09 |
| anthropos | right? | 00:09 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Do you have this script to capture flash video on Ubuntu ? | 00:09 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, It's written in Perl but it works really well | 00:10 |
| SDr | anthropos, no, I anticipate this command making a firewalled SQL server available on my target remote machine | 00:10 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/5CRz9hPd | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: never had to do it, so no | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: I just watch it in browser or minitube | 00:11 |
| anthropos | a sql server that is running locally, yes? | 00:11 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Save it as flashcapture.pl | 00:11 |
| nOOb | hi am trying to set up tor in ubuntu, am connecting to the net thru a proxy, ports open r 8008 and 80, pls help | 00:11 |
| Quantum_Ion | and run perl flashcapture.pl | 00:11 |
| Quantum_Ion | It captures all kinds of flash videos | 00:11 |
| anthropos | n00b, are you using the tor browser bundle | 00:11 |
| SDr | anthropos, on the local network, behind a corporate firewall, yes (references as "myremotecomp" above) | 00:11 |
| * SDr is liberating the corporate burocracy armed with OSS tools ;) | 00:12 | |
| anthropos | i need to keep straight what we are calling local and what we are calling remote. the sql server is running on the network which is local relative to the machine initiating the ssh connection, yes? | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: I just watch flash in my apps, no need to capture it for my needs, its online so why would you need a local copy? | 00:12 |
| williamtdr | hello | 00:12 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, It saves it as an .FLV file and you can use FFMPEG to convert to other formats | 00:13 |
| SDr | anthalamus, yes | 00:13 |
| SDr | anthropos, yup | 00:13 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Then I use VLC to play the videos back | 00:13 |
| Resistance | anthropos: yep | 00:13 |
| nOOb | anthropos; yes bt each time the network does nt complete setting up | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: but why store it, its online. you can play it any time | 00:13 |
| anthropos | n00b, vidalia should have an option to specify a proxy, does it not? | 00:13 |
| dell | what extension do I use to show hidden files in the terminal? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | dell: run: ls -a | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | dell: there is no extension | 00:14 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, remember back in the days when flash videos used to be stored in the /tmp folder in Linux but not anymore | 00:14 |
| dell | thanks ActionParsnip | 00:14 |
| dr3mro | Quantum_Ion, did you know about debsums -sa | 00:14 |
| Quantum_Ion | dr3mro, No what is for ? | 00:14 |
| anthropos | SDr: just as an experiment, you could try specifying a bind_address and have the remote machine listen on its network interface rather than loopback | 00:14 |
| patrick__ | hey | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: i remember it, but it never interested me. If I want a video I can just get it online | 00:14 |
| f3ck4r | dell: -la | 00:14 |
| nOOb | anthropos:hav entered the proxy setting bt an err pops up, https bad connection , the proxy sever is squid | 00:15 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, The only videos I can not capture are videos from http://www.tmz.com | 00:15 |
| dr3mro | Quantum_Ion, it checks your system files against apt md5sum database :) "sudo debsums -sa" | 00:15 |
| * williamtdr is tired | 00:15 | |
| ActionParsnip | f3ck4r: -a will show the hidden folder, the details weren't needed :) | 00:15 |
| anthropos | n00b, are you sure the port, etc. is correct? what information does it ask for aside from host and port | 00:15 |
| patrick__ | I have many problems with my display settings on version 11.10 and I did all the updates and installed the nVidia driver. | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: but why capture? | 00:15 |
| f3ck4r | ActionParsnip: fine then D; | 00:15 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Because sometimes video download speeds are slow | 00:16 |
| patrick__ | I have two monitors but it barely detects one it says it's unknown. | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: cache it a little... | 00:16 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, You know how sometimes people like to use youtube-dl to download youtube videos | 00:16 |
| dr3mro | patrick__, did you try precise (12.04) | 00:16 |
| nOOb | anthropos:there is an option for setting up the bridge | 00:16 |
| U_Crazy | hey all | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | patrick__: can you pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep nvidia | 00:16 |
| anthropos | n00b, you do not need or want a bridge unless your isp or country blocks tor traffic | 00:16 |
| patrick__ | No I did not isn't 12.04 a beta? | 00:16 |
| anthropos | n00b, if you ust have a regular proxy, that is not the same thing as a tor bridge | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: yeah, no I dea why eiher | 00:17 |
| Resistance | !12.04 | patrick__ | 00:17 |
| ubottu | patrick__: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 00:17 |
| Resistance | patrick__: that should explain the answer ;) | 00:17 |
| anthropos | bridges are for people in places like iran, syria, etc. | 00:17 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Sometimes you like to capture your favorite youtube videos and play them back later | 00:17 |
| f3ck4r | anthropos: yeah! | 00:17 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, From time to time youtube goes down for system maintenance blah blah blah ! | 00:18 |

| patrick__ | I am on 11.10. | 00:18 |

| anthropos | yes. he could run a brdige, or a relay, which would be nice | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | patrick__: can you run the command I gave and pastebin the output | 00:18 |
| f3ck4r | why not obfs | 00:18 |
| SDr | anthropos, and our winner is: ssh Administrator@remotecomputer.com -R 127.0.0.1:1433:mylocalnetcomputer:1433 -p 8081 -v | 00:18 |

| anthropos | cool, I'm glad it worked. | 00:19 |
| SDr | anthropos, I think this is due to some ipv6 thingie. ping localhost returns Reply from ::1: | 00:20 |
| f3ck4r | if im not wrong the only way to help iran and syria is with obfs | 00:20 |
| anthropos | ah, yeah. that seems plausible | 00:20 |

| SDr | anthropos, thanks so much :) | 00:20 |
| anthropos | f3ck4r: i think tor works in syria, and i think at least bridges work in iran | 00:20 |
| anthropos | iran blocked https for awhile but I don't believe they do presently | 00:20 |
| anthropos | SDr: no problem, take care | 00:20 |

| anthropos | n00p, an nmap scan of what | 00:21 |
| f3ck4r | well, iran block tor traffic at least is what they said so that is why they test obfs and do work it | 00:21 |

| heckman | So, why is Ubuntu no longer using the Linux kernel? | 00:23 |
| Resistance | !sudo | patrick__ | 00:23 |
| ubottu | patrick__: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: 50Mb | 00:23 |
| f3ck4r | heckman: i wanna know this either! | 00:23 |
| Resistance | philip__: the partition tables might be messed up, and subsequently the identification via BIOS, because of failing hardware, it's (generally) tough to say. | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | heckman: it is an does | 00:23 |
| Resistance | philip__: did the drive give any indications of death before this problem? | 00:24 |
| Resistance | (also, does it still work) | 00:24 |
| heckman | ActionParsnip: "Beta-1 includes the 3.2.0-17.27 Ubuntu kernel which is based on the v3.2.6 upstream stable kernel." | 00:24 |
| nOOb | anthropos: its a skuul network, so the admin uses a proxy sever to filter web request, the only allowable port is 8008, which am sure is working, the others r jst wat nmap results displayed on the screen | 00:24 |
| heckman | The Ubuntu kernel? | 00:24 |
| Resistance | heckman: a version of the Linux kernel, modified for Ubuntu | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | heckman: yes, thats's a Linux kernel | 00:24 |
| Resistance | !kernel | heckman | 00:24 |
| ubottu | heckman: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 00:24 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, So watching flash videos is a breeze for you | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: very | 00:25 |
| philip__ | No, smartcontrol looks clean, and i'm booting from this drive right now. | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: 120Mb in summer | 00:25 |
| heckman | Then it should be the Ubuntu-version of the Linux kernel | 00:25 |
| anthropos | n00b, look at firefox or something working and use that as a reference for finding the correct proxy settings | 00:25 |
| Resistance | heckman: apropos "Ubuntu Kernel" | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | heckman: it will be compiled by the ubuntu team and packaged | 00:25 |
| heckman | So? | 00:25 |
| anthropos | n00b, i dont understand what you nmap'd. i'm guessng you mean you nmap'd the proxy server | 00:25 |
| Resistance | they're synonyms, no need to argue terminology :P | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | heckman: so its the same kernel, just a different version | 00:25 |
| heckman | I could compile the Linux kernel and package it with a distro and it doesn't make it the Heckman kernel | 00:25 |
| f3ck4r | just use netstat then | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | heckman: there is no ubuntu kernel, its the same kernel code as the other distros, just compiled for ubuntu | 00:26 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Wow cool ! | 00:26 |
| ghostconn | can anyone recommend a distro more customizable then kubuntu 12:04? I mean hands down its the ultimate competition for 2012..but im still wondering is there anything else in comparison | 00:26 |
| heckman | ActionParsnip: then don't even call it the Ubuntu kernel | 00:26 |
| heckman | It's retarded | 00:26 |
| heckman | Kind of like lolnity | 00:26 |
| Resistance | ghostconn: define "customisable" and remember: you're in an ubuntu channel, we're going to lean to an Ubuntu thing :P | 00:27 |
| Resistance | s/thing/version/ | 00:27 |
| Resistance | ghostconn: subsequently, 12.04 is in beta, it shouldn't be used for anything except testing at this point. | 00:27 |
| Resistance | (that's obviously an opinion, but still) | 00:27 |
| anthropos | ubuntu is in principle as customizable as any other linux distro, but what you probably mean is one that exposes more options for user customization by default via the gui | 00:28 |
| nOOb | anthropos: yes I nmapd the proxy sever, and the proxy settings in my ubuntu r 8008, same as that of firefox 8008 that's for the ports in addition to the IP address , am I missing something | 00:28 |
| anthropos | n00b, does firefox (not thru the tor bundle) work if you configure the proxy correctly | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | nOOb: could grab the tor browser | 00:29 |
| anthropos | he has it, supposedly | 00:29 |
| f3ck4r | anthropos: i think slackware is more customizable in that terms | 00:29 |
| philip__ | Resistance, right now gparted can only read half of the disk while fdisk shows everything as you saw in the pastebin. It is confusing. | 00:29 |
| anthropos | or archlinux, but both will require you to edit conf files, etc. which you can also do in ubuntu if you're inclined | 00:29 |

| ActionParsnip | patrick__: cool, ok what is the issue with the display | 00:31 |
| anthropos | i run my ssd-based system with no swap, but if you want to be sure you don't run out of memory, you should have one | 00:31 |
| Mathuin | I want my minecraft server to come up every time I boot the system. The minecraft server is owned by the user 'minecraft'. I actually want screen to start up, and I can use .screenrc to actually start minecraft. How do I start screen from boot as user 'minecraft'? | 00:31 |
| nOOb | anthrpos: yeah , firefox accesses the net thru the proxy settings, and am also able to update thru the same, as for the tor bundle, when I excute, it stops somewhere in bootstrapping accordin to the logs, | 00:31 |
| anthropos | set vm.swappines very low | 00:31 |
| patrick__ | I have two monitors both at 1920 x 1080 works perfectly in windows but in ubuntu it doesn't detect my second screen. | 00:31 |
| thunderbug | thanks | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Mathuin: if you add the command to start the server in /etc/rc.local (remember to background it with &) it will run at startup | 00:32 |
| anthropos | n00b, did you try to reocnnect to tor via vidalia (without closing it) after changing the proxy settings (THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS A BRIDGE) | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | patrick__: in nvidia-settings hit the 'detect displays' button a few times | 00:32 |
| Mathuin | ActionParsnip: so something akin to "su - minecraft screen" with the proper .screenrc should do it? | 00:32 |
| philip__ | Ok then. The targeted disk is usb from which my bios can't boot. What is the best recipe to resolve that, if one exists? | 00:33 |
| f3ck4r | screen minecraft | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Mathuin: sounds ok if that does it, remember to background it with an ampersand, or the boot will hang | 00:33 |
| ghostconn | resistance- customizable as in the UI,desktop environment. I tried ubuntu 11:10 and i didn't mind it I can't say it's bad or anything but it lacks allot on performance compared to it's cousin kubuntu., I have done benchmarks and the results are brutal lol | 00:33 |
| anthropos | thunderbug: you should also mount your ssd with the discard option in fstab if your drive supports trim | 00:33 |
| Mathuin | f3ck4r: how does screen handle something like (cd serverdir && sh server_nogui.sh) ? | 00:34 |

| Mathuin | http://oscarhjelm.com/blag/?p=482 <-- has a one-liner I should be able to hack. Thanks to both f3ck4r and ActionParsnip for your help!! :-) | 00:39 |
| f3ck4r | Mathuin: you can created a script to deal with it or rc.local | 00:39 |
| philip__ | Well, i can afford to buy a new hard disk now, but if boot from the usb one fail, then i'd have to cause i'm really tired of not having a working system. Thanks for the help guys. | 00:41 |

| species | how do I get back normal gnome? | 00:51 |
| species | i tried logging in with gnome-classic but the toolbar seems to have had most of its features disabled | 00:52 |
| species | such as adding an icon to it | 00:52 |
| species | and its clear that unity is designed for the mythical non technical users that everybody thinks are going to suddenly start using linux "any day now" | 00:52 |
| f3ck4r | species: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+d0od+%28OMG!+Ubuntu!%29 | 00:54 |
| species | i'd rather not get one of the "alternative ubuntu" distros | 00:55 |
| adrien2 | lubuntu is good if you dont like unity or have an older computer. | 00:55 |
| linuxnut | Would ubuntu be a good base for a honeypot | 00:55 |
| species | it makes me sad that now ive suddenly become an old stuck-in-the-mud | 00:55 |
| f3ck4r | species: im use old gnome as well | 00:56 |
| adrien2 | I like lubuntu lxde shell | 00:56 |
| species | i dont understand why they thought they should change it | 00:56 |
| adrien2 | I never like gnome. | 00:56 |
| species | instead of changing those things they should sort out open office, which is probably the main barrier to linux being for normies | 00:57 |
| adrien2 | I wonder too, because that unity shell drove me up the wall, without the launcher it would be usable. | 00:57 |
| species | open office is still fairly terrible for everyday use | 00:57 |
| species | ive used it for many years, grudgingly | 00:57 |
| adrien2 | open office is great | 00:57 |
| f3ck4r | species: unity is crappy | 00:57 |
| OysterCult | if open office is bad what do you recommend? | 00:58 |
| adrien2 | i dont know why ubuntu comes with those other word proccesor instead of open office | 00:58 |
| species | i dont :( its the best of a bad choice | 00:58 |
| huckleberry78 | hey does anybody know why I would not be passing SASL authentication today. It worked yesterday | 00:58 |
| species | as i said, ive used it for years, grudgingly | 00:58 |
| adrien2 | it works better than word for me | 00:58 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Successfully installed X and Fluxbox on a Ubuntu server. | 00:58 |
| szkodnik | jo | 00:58 |
| f3ck4r | huckleberry78: did you save the configuration?! | 00:59 |
| TeamRocket1233c | And TBH, Fluxbox isn't a terrible server GUI at all. | 00:59 |
| huckleberry78 | yeah | 00:59 |
| adrien2 | i like fluxbox | 00:59 |
| f3ck4r | i don't like fb as well | 00:59 |
| matt5 | hey! | 00:59 |
| huckleberry78 | it had worked for the past few days... | 00:59 |
| huckleberry78 | now I get... | 00:59 |
| adrien2 | it's actually good for desktop use, but i had to stop using it because it's very glitchy | 00:59 |
| OU-TeamJaded | hah I got all your IP's better watch out | 00:59 |
| linuxnut | irc.anonops.ru | 01:00 |
| linuxnut | oops | 01:00 |
| OU-TeamJaded | 127.0.0.1 yup thats your ip linuxnut | 01:00 |
| species | hmm, im out of date, we should be calling open office libreoffice now | 01:00 |
| linuxnut | localhost | 01:00 |
| adrien2 | i never used libreoffice | 01:01 |
| TeamRocket1233c | adrien2: I'm a much bigger Openbox fan for Desktop use. | 01:01 |
| adrien2 | i wish i knew how to remove it | 01:01 |
| f3ck4r | libre is BS | 01:01 |
| adrien2 | my favorite is LXDE | 01:01 |
| species | lol, there is a game called "bastard tetris" available for download | 01:01 |
| TeamRocket1233c | f3ck4r: LibreOffice is actually a viable alternative to MS Office. | 01:01 |
| f3ck4r | gnome or enlightenment | 01:01 |
| adrien2 | neither. | 01:01 |
| linuxnut | I did not ask what my ip address is ? | 01:01 |
| adrien2 | gnome is glitchy and ugly, and enlightment, never used it | 01:01 |
| species | the thing about DE's is that, if you are doing your actual work, the appearence isnt relevant | 01:02 |
| f3ck4r | adrien2: i don't think so, but i like it D; | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | species: +1 | 01:02 |
| species | what is relevant however is if it has huge icons which take up 5% of the screen | 01:02 |
| TeamRocket1233c | adrien2: GNOME isn't bad at all. | 01:02 |
| adrien2 | i believe there's some hardware compatibility problems between my computer and ubuntu | 01:02 |
| huckleberry78 | I'm getting this: [18:43:54] *** Looking up your hostname... | 01:03 |

| huckleberry78 | [18:44:07] SASL authentication aborted | 01:03 |
| f3ck4r | u can change the icon size u know that right | 01:03 |
| adrien2 | so the glitches and such might be hardware related | 01:03 |
| species | f3ck4r: please tell me how | 01:03 |
| TheEmpath | greetings ubuntonians | 01:03 |
| f3ck4r | if im not wrong there is an option where u can set the size of the icon | 01:03 |
| species | TheEmpath: im fast becoming not an ubuntonian here | 01:03 |
| TeamRocket1233c | adrien2: And if GNOME Shell won't boot, or if you don't like it, Fallback mode isn't terrible either. | 01:04 |
| TheEmpath | I have a shell scripting challenge and I was curious where I might be able to find some insight on how to solve this and, perhaps, if it has been solved before. https://gist.github.com/2c3c756784b38b0e0b90 | 01:04 |
| f3ck4r | Gnome Shell is great, I love it! | 01:04 |
| TheEmpath | It's basically a "grab a bunch of file names, string replace them, jam each one into a template, then output all of it" | 01:04 |
| adrien2 | i didnt mind the gnome classic, but it wasted a lot of screen space... LXDE suits my taste for interface | 01:04 |
| f3ck4r | adrien2: just remove it | 01:05 |
| adrien2 | id like to remove unity too | 01:05 |
| species | another thing, i cant believe the power settings now consists of only two settings | 01:05 |
| adrien2 | though i find everytime i change certain things in ubuntu i have to reinstall | 01:05 |
| species | thats completely rediculous | 01:05 |
| linuxnut | Would it be possible to write a shell script that will generate every possible ipv4 address | 01:05 |
| adrien2 | it defaults to the lubuntu window manager sense i installed it anwyays | 01:05 |
| species | who the hell do they think is going to use this? | 01:05 |
| TeamRocket1233c | adrien2: You could just do a minimal install and install X and whatever WM or DE you want. | 01:05 |
| f3ck4r | species: idk | 01:05 |

| f3ck4r | adrien2: me too | 01:06 |
| ghostconn | unity is the biggest flaw the community has ever seen from linux lol | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxnut: sure, simple counter loops | 01:06 |
| adrien2 | and lubuntu is great for older computers... so it suites my needs more | 01:06 |
| tazer | SO GUYS | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | TheEmpath: did you ask in #bash too | 01:07 |

| species | i see | 01:09 |
| species | well my question got lost in the flood, can I ask it again :| | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | species: sure | 01:09 |
| elky | species, no, it's not. nor is yelling in all caps, or talking about cracking | 01:09 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Sorry, just that guy was REALLY pulling on my nerves,' | 01:09 |
| species | 1) is the version of gnome thats default installed a fork of gnome, or normal gnome just with custom settings? | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | species: its gnome3, the next version. The shell has changed from gnome-panel to Unity | 01:10 |
| JermBob | anyone that needs to talk in caps to be noticed has no place in a friendly environment | 01:10 |
| ghostconn | dont use unity species!!! | 01:10 |
| ghostconn | ewwww | 01:10 |
| JermBob | dont need loud mouths | 01:10 |
| linuxnut | baltilugs here | 01:10 |
| TeamRocket1233c | pangolin: ubottu : Sorry 'bout the language. That guy was grinding on my last nerve. | 01:10 |
| species | ok so gnome-panel is the DE and gnome itself is the WM? is that how its split? | 01:10 |
| f3ck4r | species: the gnome that i've used is more polish the system tray now work | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | species: gnome is the DE, Compiz is the WM | 01:11 |
| f3ck4r | the fallback is full of bugs.. | 01:11 |
| nooblikesboobs | hi all, I have a noob question | 01:11 |
| TeamRocket1233c | species: GNOME Panel isn't entirely dead. Look into GNOME Fallback or GNOME Classic. | 01:11 |
| species | i tried gnome classic, but it wasn't using the same toolbars (i assume this means it starts up something else rather than gnome-toolbar, which is what im used to) | 01:11 |
| nate_h | how do I specify the port my http server is running on in gemrc? | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | species: omgubuntu has a how to for making the current Gnome look like Gnome2, if you want an easier way just use xfce | 01:11 |
| nooblikesboobs | I hear about all this ssh and whatnot, is there any free server where I can ssh, create text files, edit etc to learn? | 01:11 |
| species | its not really about looks, i just prefer the functionality of the old gnome toolbar | 01:12 |
| TeamRocket1233c | species: Openbox, Fluxbox, LXDE, and Xfce are really good too. | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: openssh-server is a free opensource ssh server available in the repos | 01:12 |
| species | might try lxde | 01:12 |
| tiox | species: Xfce is the way to go for GNOME2-like functionality. | 01:12 |
| f3ck4r | species: some of the olf functions is not working as it should at all | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | species: install xfce4 and log off, then log into xfce | 01:12 |
| nooblikesboobs | wait, isn't that a software?? | 01:12 |
| f3ck4r | *old | 01:12 |
| tiox | And on top of it, if you had any GNOME2 panel items you wwant to use, XFapplet exists for that. | 01:12 |
| nooblikesboobs | i'm really new to this please explain a little | 01:12 |
| ghostconn | i need a good customizable dristo.. preferably kde any suggestions | 01:13 |
| nooblikesboobs | :( | 01:13 |
| linuxnut | Can i install openvz ontop of ubuntu ? | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: yes, its a server software you can connect to | 01:13 |
| species | next question: where do I get a proper system settings application? the default one seems to be lacking most functionality | 01:13 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Openbox and Fluxbox are the way to go, period. They're snappy, low-resource, and relatively easy to use. | 01:13 |
| f3ck4r | ghostconn: archlinux or slackware | 01:13 |
| nooblikesboobs | so where is the data hosted? | 01:13 |
| species | for example, it lacks anything to do with dimmin the display, which is pretty stupid | 01:13 |
| tiox | nooblikesboobs: #ubuntu is a family-friendly support channel with people of various ages and cultures participating in the same discussion. It is highly recommended you change your nickname to something clean and appropriate. | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: its just a way to connect to your own system, you will be running commands like you do in a terminal | 01:13 |
| TeamRocket1233c | You just gotta get used to the having to right-click on the desktop in both of them. | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | species: look in power options and screen saver options. Its all there | 01:14 |
| nooblikesboobs | ActionParsnip: But I don't have a second computer | 01:14 |
| species | i can see Unity being hopeless on a laptop which is how im likely to end up using this | 01:14 |
| TeamRocket1233c | And possibly having to use the command-line to install new software. | 01:14 |
| nooblikesboobs | ActionParsnip: Thats why I was asking if there is something free so I can test | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | species: just because you can't find something doesn't mean its not there | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: yes, openssh-server is free | 01:14 |
| f3ck4r | species: i don't like unity at all even in a laptop | 01:14 |
| tiox | ActionParsnip: Just means it's not obvious enough. | 01:14 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Unless certain distros allow you to install software via graphical means. | 01:14 |
| tiox | Remember back int eh day when everything was in a menu? | 01:15 |
| ghostconn | f3ck4r, i want arch so abd i just cant seem to get dual boot working | 01:15 |
| tiox | I miss those days... *sniff* | 01:15 |
| TeamRocket1233c | tiox: Like with Windows 95? | 01:15 |
| nooblikesboobs | ActionParsnip : So it lets me connect to my own server? Or some server maintained by the software developers? | 01:15 |
| rinzler | nooblikesboobs: almost anything you can do through terminal, you can do through ssh, it just executes on the remote machine instead of the one in front of you. | 01:15 |
| nooblikesboobs | ActionParsnip: this is confusing | 01:15 |
| itaylor57 | tiox, i remember back in the day when there was no menu | 01:15 |
| linuxnut | All the cool things you can do with linux and all you guys talk about is gnome kde fluxbox : ( | 01:15 |
| nooblikesboobs | rinzler : but my question is, what remote machine? | 01:15 |
| itaylor57 | bsd 4.2 on a vax lol | 01:16 |
| TeamRocket1233c | tiox: You can still get menu-oriented interfaces. | 01:16 |
| nooblikesboobs | I don't have a second computer to test | 01:16 |
| TeamRocket1233c | linuxnut: Fluxbox is a cool WM. | 01:16 |
| nooblikesboobs | not sure if openssh-server provides the hardware for the server, or how exactly all this works | 01:16 |
| species | ActionParsnip: next question, how can I make the [MASSIVE ICONS] in unity smaller? | 01:16 |
| nooblikesboobs | please halp! | 01:16 |
| TeamRocket1233c | linuxnut: Openbox too. | 01:16 |
| linuxnut | I understand the interworkings of fluxbox | 01:17 |

| === Dorito is now known as Guest34667 | ||
| species | i suppose my current performance issues wouldnt be a problem if I gave my VM more than 50% of one CPU core | 01:17 |
| nooblikesboobs | ActionParsnip: Are you there? Can you give me any links to learn more about this? Googling simply takes me to the software | 01:18 |
| linuxnut | Can someone point me two a more techy chanel | 01:18 |
| rinzler | nooblikesboobs: you have two machines in an ssh connection: server and client. client is the one you ssh from, server is the one you ssh to. you need control of two machines to make any use of ssh. if you need practice, you can ssh to your own computer from itself to see what it feels like but there's not too much difference from a normal shell. | 01:19 |
| kermit | Lunar_Lamp: #ubuntu-server | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: install openssh-server on the system you want to connect to | 01:19 |
| nooblikesboobs | tahts my problem, I don't have anything to connect to | 01:19 |
| nooblikesboobs | rinzler : thanks for the answers, that's what I understood too | 01:20 |
| nooblikesboobs | but I was looking for some free remote server to try out ssh etc | 01:20 |
| f3ck4r | ghostconn: i've never used arch but in some days i'll get it running in a box D; | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: so one will be the server and one will be the client, install openssh-server on the server and you can connect from the other system with: ssh -X username@servername | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: ahh you want to ssh to somethin g on the web | 01:21 |
| nooblikesboobs | so if I ssh to a server, I can access/edit all files?? is there specific folders that are shared? | 01:21 |
| nooblikesboobs | ActionParsnip : yes!! | 01:21 |
| nooblikesboobs | also, what does the -X do? | 01:21 |
| f3ck4r | nooblikesboobs: u can as long as u have permission to it | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: enables X forwarding, so you can run GUI apps, they will display on the client side but be processed on the server side | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: handy for thin clients | 01:22 |
| nooblikesboobs | permission as in read/write permission for the files? Or are there special permissions according to the keys? | 01:22 |
| nooblikesboobs | wow that sounds cool | 01:23 |
| nooblikesboobs | So is there anything free on the web that I can try all this out on? | 01:23 |
| nooblikesboobs | Or do I HAVE to have a second computer | 01:23 |
| ghostconn | f3ck4r, anything a little easier to install haha. i have tried linux mint,ubuntu,fedora,kubuntu & gentoo | 01:23 |
| f3ck4r | nooblikesboobs: yeah, that kind of permission (rw) | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: found this http://shellmix.com/index.php/free-account/free-shell-account | 01:23 |
| tamed-chinese | hi all | 01:23 |
| TeamRocket1233c | -wave- | 01:24 |
| f3ck4r | ghostconn: slackware for me is more friendly since i've used for so many years, now im under ubuntu 12.04 BETA 2 | 01:24 |
| nooblikesboobs | TY for the link I'll try it out | 01:24 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ghostconn: What about Fedora? | 01:25 |
| nooblikesboobs | also thank you for letting me know "free shell account" is the phrase to search for | 01:25 |
| ghostconn | im running kubuntu 12:04 an i have to say im impressed and will return when it is out of beta... i did not have much linux experience when i tried fedora it was my first distro.. i never tinkered with it, is it any good | 01:27 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ghostconn: Fedora's actually pretty good, I've played with both the GNOME and Xfce spins and liked them both. | 01:27 |
| nooblikesboobs | I found it, sdf.org | 01:28 |
| f3ck4r | ghostconn: my first was a redhat distro based long time ago..then i found slackware and never leave D; | 01:28 |
| ghostconn | i have never once used xfce only gnome and kde.. i prefer kde but still love gnome for it's elegance | 01:28 |
| f3ck4r | gnome and enlightenment for me was the best D; | 01:29 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ghostconn: And my first distro that actually counts is Crunchbang. | 01:29 |
| 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? | 01:29 |
| f3ck4r | did u try ubuntu-tweak?! | 01:30 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ghostconn: Currently running #! on my dinosaur of a PC, it's snappy, stable, and up-to-date. | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesboobs: nice :) | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | i wish KDE went back to the 2002 era, great days | 01:32 |
| f3ck4r | ActionParsnip: yeah | 01:32 |
| Xabster | How do I get the desktop cube thingy to work? I enabled it in compiz manager and nothing happens on ctrl+alt+down | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Xabster: press ALT+F2 and run: compiz --replace | 01:33 |
| f3ck4r | days when the only thing that i used is window maker lolz | 01:33 |
| ghostconn | never hear of it before? what im really after is something super stable.very customizable UI,window manager. I know people say every distro is what you make it true.. but so not true lol | 01:33 |
| f3ck4r | ghostconn: a window manager like that is enlightenment and fluxbox | 01:34 |
| rinzler | ActionParsnip: what is Xabster trying to do? | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | rinzler: seems to have setup compiz, but not getting the effect (cube desktop thing) | 01:35 |
| daniel | what is the best music player with good tag support for ubuntu? | 01:35 |
| Xabster | i think i uninstalled unity | 01:35 |
| Xabster | or atleast changed it | 01:35 |
| species | Xabster: congratulations | 01:35 |
| Xabster | i dont know much about ubuntu so i'm just getting my feet wet | 01:35 |
| Xabster | does desktop cube need unity? | 01:35 |
| f3ck4r | keep with the good work Xabster =p | 01:35 |
| Xabster | =) | 01:35 |
| f3ck4r | nope | 01:35 |
| rinzler | ActionParsnip: sounds cool. do you know if it works with xfce? | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Xabster: check it's installed, if its not there you won't get effects | 01:35 |
| Xabster | is this a we-dislike-unity party? | 01:36 |
| species | yes | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | rinzler: you just replace xfwin4 with compiz | 01:36 |
| ghostconn | f3ck4r, I dont mind compiz i enjoy allot of the effects but im always after something bigger and better.. once i find it and install,set it up the way i like i get board and start all over again with another distro lol | 01:36 |
| f3ck4r | Xabster: yeah heheh | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Xabster: its like marmite, love it or hate it | 01:36 |
| species | although unity is so simplistic there is barely anything to like or dislike | 01:36 |
| === francisco is now known as Guest76180 | ||
| rinzler | ActionParsnip: I don't really understand... | 01:36 |
| species | im not sure it even qualifies as a piece of software | 01:36 |
| Xabster | ActionParsnip, can you remind me how to check that? | 01:36 |
| f3ck4r | ghostconn: LMAO! | 01:36 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there a relatively easy way of telling if two folders are identical? | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | rinzler: compiz is a WM, xfwin4 is the default WM in XFCE, so you just replace it | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Xabster: dpkg -l | grep compiz | 01:37 |
| ghostconn | honestly its a a disease lol:p | 01:37 |
| f3ck4r | ic | 01:37 |
| Xabster | compiz-gnome | 01:37 |
| Xabster | seems to control the stuff | 01:37 |
| rinzler | ActionParsnip: Ahh. cool. Thanks. Just wanting to know what i'm looking for to research it :) | 01:37 |
| * species installs 9.10 trolol | 01:38 | |
| ghostconn | i have been told once I try arch i will never leave | 01:38 |
| ghostconn | by allot of people lol | 01:38 |
| nooblikesboobs | wow I'm so deep on sdf.org but now I can't do shit coz I don't know the commands, and bash commands don't work | 01:38 |
| f3ck4r | after install ubuntu the first thing that i do is removing the networking-manager | 01:38 |
| f3ck4r | then install gnome | 01:39 |
| pangolin | nooblikesboobs, please mind your language and change your nick to a family friendly one. | 01:39 |
| Xabster | without network, f3ck4r? | 01:39 |
| f3ck4r | nope | 01:39 |
| f3ck4r | just use interfaces, dhcp and so on | 01:39 |
| Xabster | to me it seems easier to do it the other way around | 01:40 |
| f3ck4r | i don't need that crappy | 01:40 |
| f3ck4r | i don't think so.. | 01:40 |
| darkhalo | /usr/sbin/brctl, what is this file? know? | 01:40 |

| Shojo | uhm....whats taking so long to ban a nick ?:P | 01:43 |
| dsnyders | Perhaps rod is having keyboard problems. | 01:43 |

| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there a relatively easy way of telling if two folders are identical? | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | dsnyders: md5sum | 01:45 |
| Xabster | dsnyders, identical contents? | 01:45 |
| Xabster | filenames or bytewise comparison? | 01:45 |
| Shojo | ActionParsnip: i know bots can be kicked or banned, but i wasn't asking that. Just wondering why rod wasnt kicked | 01:45 |
| dsnyders | ActionParsnip, md5sum works on folders. Cool! I'll look into it. Thanks. | 01:46 |
| elky | ActionParsnip, left of its own accord. | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | elky: no bad thing, thanks anyway | 01:46 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Shojo: I thought you were asking if I was a bot at first, | 01:46 |
| darkhalo | ok so i'm trying to bridge eth0 and br0 and apperently openvpn doesn't like it. any suggestions? | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | elky: I think dr_willis left the cage open agin | 01:47 |
| dsnyders | Xabster, Identical contents, bytewise. When I get a new hard drive I copy the old one onto the new. I'm several copies deep now with many duplicate folders, and I want to clean things up. | 01:47 |
| f3ck4r | bridge or share?! | 01:47 |
| Jordan_U | dsnyders: diff dir1 dir2 | 01:47 |
| nooblikesoranges | hi all | 01:47 |
| Shojo | TeamRocket1233c: yes i was and you answered me, and then i wrote to ActionParsnip | 01:48 |
| EsoRottica | Hello! | 01:48 |
| TeamRocket1233c | nooblikesoranges: Hiya! :) | 01:48 |
| nooblikesoranges | what irc client do you use? does it have any specific advantages to webchat? | 01:48 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Shojo: But I'm not though. I'm an actual person at a keyboard. | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesoranges: pidgin and irssi (when I'm at work), andchat from my phone | 01:48 |
| nooblikesoranges | TeamRocket1233c: what irc client do you use? | 01:49 |
| nooblikesoranges | ActionParsnip: ty | 01:49 |
| Shojo | TeamRocket1233c: You *already answered me* | 01:49 |
| f3ck4r | nooblikesor: irssi | 01:49 |
| f3ck4r | nooblikesor: if BitxhX support sasl i would still use it instead of irssi | 01:49 |
| TeamRocket1233c | nooblikesoranges: Actually, I'm unfortunately on a Windows Vista PC, on a crappy 56k connection. | 01:49 |
| dsnyders | Jordan_U, does diff do md5sums, or does it just compare filenames/sizes. | 01:49 |
| TeamRocket1233c | nooblikesoranges: As it's the only web connection in the house. | 01:50 |
| EsoRottica | Guys, I've been struggling all day playing with my video card and cant seem to figure it out. Anyone good with flgrx? and yes, I'm already in #ati | 01:50 |
| nooblikesoranges | TeamRocket1233c: really? where are you from Sahara desert? | 01:50 |
| f3ck4r | nooblikesor: lol | 01:50 |

| nicmcginnis | Hi, sorry to butt in on the conversation, but I'm very new to Ubuntu and I'm wondering if someone could help me with Rhythmbox. | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | nooblikesbananas: yes I got it | 01:56 |
| nooblikesbananas | oh | 01:56 |

| TeamRocket1233c | I G2G for the night, I'll BBT. Bye! -wave- | 01:56 |
| nooblikesbananas | BB | 01:56 |
| f3ck4r | nicmcginnis: what's the deal | 01:56 |
| nicmcginnis | F3ck4r: Well, it keeps telling me there are 'missing files.' | 01:57 |
| nicmcginnis | I add them one day, and they are 'missing' the next. | 01:57 |
| f3ck4r | maybe is the jpg files that come with the mp3 as well | 01:57 |
| f3ck4r | or could be the mp3 files in a driver that you need to mount | 01:58 |
| KDEvsGNOME | anybody knows a good angry birds like game on ubuntu? | 01:58 |
| nicmcginnis | "Mount"? | 01:58 |
| nicmcginnis | (noobness level = over 9000) | 01:59 |
| faryshta | KDEvsGNOME, warmux. | 01:59 |
| Shojo | lol, that's a phone game:) | 01:59 |
| faryshta | KDEvsGNOME, I think you can install AB on chrome. | 02:00 |
| f3ck4r | yeah mount, meaning that the files should be in a diff hdd | 02:00 |
| f3ck4r | hdd = hard drive | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | KDEvsGNOME: http://chrome.angrybirds.com , also since Angry Birds uses box2d you may look into other games which also use box2d for physics. | 02:01 |
| zykotick9 | KDEvsGNOME: Shojo the windows version of AG works in wine | 02:01 |
| fabio | i have an rfid reader with a cable with serial and a usb | 02:02 |
| fabio | but when i do dmesg or lsusb | 02:02 |
| fabio | nothing appears | 02:02 |
| nicmcginnis | f3ck4r: So I think the problem is that when I originally added the files to the playlist, the HDD was identified with some name, and now it bears another upon reboot, and keeps changing? Could that be? | 02:02 |
| Shojo | zykotick9: AG? | 02:02 |
| nooblikesbananas | wow my firefox button is gone | 02:02 |
| zykotick9 | Shojo: angry birds | 02:02 |
| fabio | i have both connected | 02:02 |
| rasusto | fabio: did you dmesg | tail | 02:03 |
| rmg3 | @search pink floyd | 02:03 |
| no-name- | hi. I have a GeForce 7025 and have the current drivers from System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, yet games are much slower on Ubuntu than Windows 7. I'm running 10.04 x64 | 02:03 |
| f3ck4r | nicmcginnis: could, but this is cuz it is a diff hdd that why he appears to missing the files. | 02:03 |
| Shojo | isn't that AB? anyways, i was just saying it's a game to play when nothing else to do, i guess a computer can have more interesting things on it:) | 02:03 |
| nicmcginnis | A different hdd from what, though? | 02:03 |
| faryshta | /join #hentai | 02:03 |
| faryshta | lol | 02:03 |
| faryshta | sorry | 02:04 |
| f3ck4r | lol | 02:04 |
| no-name- | lol | 02:04 |
| ActionParsnip | no-name-: what version of the driver are you running? | 02:04 |
| f3ck4r | meaning that the mp3 files should be in another hdd and the hdd should be mounted first then the player will recgonize the location of the files | 02:04 |
| fabio | rasusto: yes | 02:04 |
| KDEvsGNOME | I get it, what about plants vs zombies | 02:04 |
| no-name- | ActionParsnip: it just says "version current" | 02:05 |
| zykotick9 | KDEvsGNOME: it works in wine | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | no-name-: run: nvidia-settings what version? | 02:05 |
| nicmcginnis | Okay, thanks. Umm. (I've been using windows for years. I'm so sorry to be clueless at this.) What does 'mount' a hdd mean? How do I do it? | 02:05 |
| rinzler | I have a lynksys wmp11v4 wifi PCMCIA adapter that I'm using with 11.10. Every time I reboot, ndiswrapper looses the ability to control my card and I need to uninstall the driver and reinstall to get the card working again. How can I keep this from happening? | 02:05 |
| no-name- | ActionParsnip: NVIDIA Driver Version: 195.36.24 | 02:05 |
| f3ck4r | mount is a command line to mount a diff hdd on the system | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | rinzler: if you run: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper does it work ok? | 02:06 |
| f3ck4r | open your file manager | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | no-name-: bit old, uninstall the driver and run this command | 02:06 |
| Xabster | nicmcginnis, it means to enable it and map it is a drive letter (or description)... kind of like you mount an .iso in windows | 02:06 |
| hugenumbers | nicmcginnis dose your backround populate with the hdd containing the media files | 02:06 |
| nicmcginnis | So, wait, whenever I boot, I need to tell Ubuntu to recognize all my HDs manually? | 02:06 |
| f3ck4r | nope | 02:06 |
| rinzler | ActionParsnip: It doesn't output anything. Just gives me another $ | 02:07 |
| Xabster | You can do it automatically, nicmcginnis, but yes, you need to do something to make Ubuntu see them for the first time | 02:07 |
| aarossig | Hey all, I just updated my server from 10.04 to 11.10 along with a hardware refresh and more HD's... I'm having a problem with network file transfers. If I use sshfs or samba... the network will almost "die" for brief amounts of time and then come back. Any ideas? | 02:07 |
| f3ck4r | u don't need to do it manually u can do it by open the file manager and click on it | 02:07 |
| Xabster | is that not manually, f3ck4r? | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | no-name-: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 02:07 |
| f3ck4r | hehehe | 02:07 |
| nicmcginnis | So I only should have to "mount" them once, and after that, Ubuntu will see them? | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rinzler: that means it worked, does the device work ok now? | 02:07 |
| f3ck4r | Xabster: partiall manually | 02:08 |
| aarossig | with sshfs, the cpu usage goes to 0 for a while and then suddenly jumps back up and the file transfer continues as usual | 02:08 |
| nicmcginnis | Once again, sorry everyone, I am very, very new at this. | 02:08 |
| f3ck4r | D; | 02:08 |
| zykotick9 | nicmcginnis: fstab is used to make mounts permanent | 02:08 |
| f3ck4r | ntsf3g-config do it | 02:08 |
| rinzler | ActionParsnip: uhm. yes, oh great magician of the internetz. what the heck just happened?? | 02:08 |
| ActionParsnip | rinzler: the module isn't loading at boot | 02:09 |
| nicmcginnis | zykotick9: I'm looking at the fstab wiki page. It tells me I need to edit a file with a bunch of code in it/ | 02:09 |
| rinzler | so would running that command at login work for me? | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rinzler: you can make it autoload with: echo "ndiswrapper" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules | 02:09 |
| nicmcginnis | Is there a GUI version? | 02:09 |
| zykotick9 | !fstab | nicmcginnis | 02:09 |
| ubottu | nicmcginnis: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 02:09 |
| rinzler | ActionParsnip: ahh. Thanks!! | 02:09 |
| hugenumbers | nicmcginnnis there is a gui version | 02:10 |
| zykotick9 | nicmcginnis: i'm not sure there is a GUI method, good luck | 02:10 |
| nicmcginnis | Thanks. Wow. I think I might have to go back to windows. I really don't understand any of this. | 02:10 |
| Xabster | nicmcginnis, I'm probably as new as you are and I went to startup applications and made 2 entries, 1 for each drive with the command to mount them | 02:11 |
| rinzler | ActionParsnip: rebooting for test... | 02:11 |
| Xabster | not sure this is a correct way to do it, but it works | 02:11 |
| f3ck4r | Xabster: manually right ;D | 02:11 |
| Xabster | yes i did something manually | 02:12 |
| rinzler | ActionParsnip: Success!! Thanks! | 02:12 |
| nicmcginnis | Xabster: I'm looking up how to do that, thanks | 02:12 |
| f3ck4r | nicmcginnis: the file manager do the trick | 02:13 |
| nicmcginnis | I just need to figure out that the command is, I guess | 02:13 |
| Xabster | nicmcginnis, this is the command to mount my D-drive: udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 | 02:13 |
| Xabster | and nicmcginnis, this is my E: udisks --mount /dev/sdc1 | 02:13 |
| Xabster | nicmcginnis, I don't remember how to find out what the drives are called | 02:14 |
| Xabster | goodnight | 02:14 |
| nicmcginnis | Xabster: thanks for the help dude. | 02:14 |
| Xabster | no problems | 02:14 |
| rinzler | why does ubuntu think that having numlock on is a bad thing. I'm on a desktop machine, and I would like numlock to be on automatically. is there a way to remove the warning and/or make it boot with numlock on? | 02:14 |
| hugenumbers | does udisks come install in ubuntu 11.10 | 02:14 |
| Karmaon | why does my lvm encrypted hard drive not show up as a device? | 02:15 |
| Karmaon | i'm trying to install grub on it because the alt-cd was not succesful | 02:15 |
| Karmaon | i have the live cd on now | 02:15 |
| nicmcginnis | I'm googling around. Should I just try instlaling Storage Device Manager? | 02:15 |
| hugenumbers | nicmcginnis if you have udisks you can run udisks --dump... or run a gui like storage device manager | 02:16 |
| nicmcginnis | The internet tells me to "click" on the drive in the "places" menu to "mount" it, but Rhythmbox is still telling me all my files are missing... I think because the playlist is pointing to a location with a different name, though it is supposed ot be the same HDD.... | 02:16 |
| nicmcginnis | Like one time this HD was called sdb1 or something, and now I've rebotted and the same harddrive is now sdc1, and everything is all messed up... | 02:17 |
| CmdrButlh | got a question guys whats the bash command to install groups of software like yum groupinstall on RH | 02:18 |
| hugenumbers | nicmcginnis if you have to have the hdd automatically mount at boot | 02:18 |
| kevdog | apt command? | 02:18 |
| CmdrButlh | yes I'm trying to script | 02:18 |
| fabio | i got an joystick connected via usb. I want to know what happens when i press a button | 02:18 |
| fabio | how to see what string is sent to pc? | 02:18 |
| kevdog | wish I knee | 02:19 |
| kevdog | knew | 02:19 |
| fabio | i did lsusb | 02:19 |

| JoseeAntonioR | Hello! Can I sync my iCloud Calendar with Ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| kevdog | nicmcginnis: late to the game, but what's the problem? A mount point is a "directory" where you are going to tell something to mount -- instead of c: it would be like /media/c or /c or any other directory you want to specify | 02:21 |
| zykotick9 | fabio: type "xev" then try pressing a button on your joystick, and see if it's outputs the character sent in the xev window/terminal | 02:22 |
| kevdog | nicmcginnis: You can setup things like USB sticks, or remote directories on different computers to auto mount at boot by modifying the fstab file | 02:23 |
| fabio | zykotick9: not works | 02:23 |
| nicmcginnis | kevdog: Hi... I have this problem where I imported my media into Rhythmbox, but now it tells my all my files are missing. I tried 'mounting' the HDs by clicking on them in the 'places' menu, but I think Ubuntu is assigning different names to the HDs when I boot, because they are still 'missing'. Though I can see them in the file manager. :P | 02:23 |
| zykotick9 | fabio: sorry. i don't have any other suggestions. | 02:23 |
| nicmcginnis | kevdog: The fstab file is waaay above my paygrade, lol. I don't understand a single word on the help pages. | 02:23 |
| zykotick9 | fabio: are you sure the joystick is working? | 02:23 |
| fabio | zykotick9: yes | 02:24 |
| zykotick9 | fabio: ok, no other suggestions - good luck. | 02:24 |
| fabio | ty | 02:24 |
| kevdog | nicmcginnis: Working with Rhythmbox is like above my paygrade. Your hard drive partitions shouldn't be assigned different names however | 02:25 |
| nicmcginnis | kevdog: haha, fair enough. I just want a stable playlist, because scanning every time I open up the program for 15k files takes forever.... I'm experimenting with Ubuntu instead of paying for windows7, so we'll see... | 02:26 |

| zykotick9 | ILoveUbuntu: dconf-something maybe? | 02:27 |
| xangua | ILoveUbuntu: clasic gnome != gnome2 , gconf-editor is discontinued and not dconf-editor is used | 02:27 |

| jerkchicken | can i edit scripts with "less"? i need an editor that can scroll horizontally | 02:29 |
| ILoveUbuntu | i get an error when i rud dconf-editor too | 02:30 |
| kevdog | jerkchicken: I think less is like more -- really doesn't do edititing. Do you need a terminal editor or gui? | 02:30 |
| nicmcginnis | kevdog: oh man, it's okay, you shouldn't go through the bother... I'm pretty sure it is because the playlist data is pointing to the 'wrong' hdd name and I need to make the HDD names stable somehow... | 02:30 |
| jerkchicken | kevdog, terminal editor | 02:30 |
| nicmcginnis | kevdog: but the 'usual' ways are too hackerly for my miserable skills... | 02:31 |

| nicmcginnis | kevdog: No, I imported all my folders, and upon reboot, I get this error that all the files are missing. | 02:35 |
| kevdog | nicmcginnis: Where did you import all the music too? What folder? | 02:36 |
| no-name- | ActionParsnip: I put that command in and have restarted but now things are even slower. When I run nvidia-settings I get a message box saying "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.", but when I run sudo nvidia-xconfig I get sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found | 02:36 |
| jlkkljh | actionparsnip: i was talking to you earlier i think but got disconnected | 02:37 |
| nicmcginnis | kevdog: Well, I had an existing HD from a previous computer. It already had a directory structure, so I just asked rhythmbox to look at a the folders therein. It took about an hour, but it imported all the media and I could listen to it. Then I rebooted and it lists all the files in the playlist, but says it can't find them. | 02:37 |
| nicmcginnis | kevdog: ....even after I 'mounted' the HD in question./ | 02:38 |
| kevdog | nicmcginnis: how did you mount the hard-drive? and what is the file system type? windows-ntfs? or linux-ext3,ext4,etc? | 02:39 |
| nicmcginnis | kevdog: I mounted it by clicking on the HD in the "places" drop-down menu. I guess it is windows-ntfs because it is from an old windows box. | 02:39 |
| jlkkljh | actionparsnip: i think i was talking to u earlier | 02:41 |

| nicmcginnis | uh, should I make a backup copy? | 03:09 |
| EsoRottica | he could always create the directory TENCATHALONG in media, then tell fstab to mount the partition, there, volia | 03:09 |

| EsoRottica | no need to fix the directory from within rythmbox. | 03:10 |
| kevdog | nicmginnis: rule of thumb -- whenever some schmoo like me in the forums or irc tells you to mess with any system file -- the answer would be yes make a backup -- sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak | 03:10 |
| malkauns | how do u make conky always-on-top? | 03:11 |

| kevdog | willijs3: I'm just going to throw out a crazy idea -- probably going to get shot down by the peanut gallery -- however you could try calling your script from a udev startup script | 03:31 |
| Seppoz | nomodeset with F6 works out | 03:31 |
| willijs3 | kevdog Eh, i'll give it a shot. doesn't hurt to try. | 03:33 |
| kevdog | willijs3: all the udev startup scripts are kept in /etc/init | 03:33 |
| KM0201 | Seppoz: good | 03:33 |
| willijs3 | ok. | 03:33 |
| Seppoz | thank you guys for the help | 03:33 |
| Seppoz | i think im in a kind of fallback mode now | 03:33 |
| Seppoz | do i have to install nvidia drivers now? | 03:33 |
| kevdog | willijs3: I've only written one to start my firewall script at boot -- so I'm no expert, but it was pretty easy and it works as best as I can tell | 03:33 |
| KM0201 | Seppoz: are you booting an install, or are you on a live cd/live usb? | 03:34 |
| KM0201 | if you're on a live version.. you won't be able to install the graphics drivers, you'll have to do an actual install, then install the drivers... the nomodeset is just to get the live cd working, then you may need to use it to get an install working, then install the nvidia drivers, and you shouldn't need it | 03:34 |
| kevdog | willijs3: I can post my script if you want, but my advice would be the following: pop open a few of the other udev script (they are all labeled .conf) within gedit or something -- it will give you a variety of the syntax | 03:34 |
| willijs3 | I'll give it a shot. thanks for the help | 03:35 |
| Seppoz | im instaling right now | 03:35 |
| Vert | How do i list what files, and where a given package installed? | 03:35 |
| KM0201 | Seppoz: just pay attention on your partitioning | 03:35 |
| willijs3 | I have one open now. I'm still new at this, so it'll be a learning process :) | 03:35 |
| kevdog | willijs3: I also consulted the udev manual on line that actually was quite readable. | 03:35 |
| zykotick9 | Vert: "dpkg -L PACKAGENAME" perhaps? | 03:36 |
| Seppoz | why? | 03:36 |
| kevdog | willijs3: If you want I can post mine - its really simple and just runs a script that loads all my firewall rules into iptables | 03:36 |
| KM0201 | Seppoz: because, you don't want to accidentally nuke windows | 03:36 |
| KM0201 | lol | 03:36 |
| Seppoz | thats EXACTLY what i want man | 03:36 |
| Seppoz | NUKE WINDOWS! | 03:36 |
| KM0201 | Seppoz: are you sure? | 03:36 |
| willijs3 | kevdog I'll definitely hit that up too. If you want to put it up, i'd love to look at it | 03:36 |
| thiebaude | lol | 03:36 |
| thiebaude | :) | 03:36 |
| Vert | zykotick9: perfect thanks | 03:36 |
| Seppoz | 100% sir | 03:36 |
| KM0201 | Seppoz: as new as you are, thats not a good idea.. dual boot for a while.. or you'll be reinstalling windows by the end of the week | 03:36 |
| Seppoz | im not new i just didnt know hot to get that szuff working lol | 03:37 |
| KM0201 | oh ok | 03:37 |
| Seppoz | im suing it for like 5 years now | 03:37 |
| Seppoz | just not on that laptop | 03:37 |
| EsoRottica | I nuked windows... entirely. It made me happy. | 03:37 |
| willijs3 | me too! | 03:38 |
| KM0201 | EsoRottica: i've done it many times | 03:38 |
| Seppoz | i bet! | 03:38 |
| thiebaude | i cant til i do | 03:38 |
| Seppoz | its one of that magic moments right xDD | 03:38 |
| KM0201 | i wasn't saying "don't" do it... just saying if you're new (which i thought he was) it's best to dual boot for a while | 03:38 |
| kevdog | http://paste.ubuntu.com/901560/ | 03:38 |
| thiebaude | darn netflix,lol | 03:38 |
| Seppoz | i absolutely agree KM0201 | 03:38 |
| EsoRottica | I was sick of it. he has another box, with ubuntu virtualized in it though. | 03:38 |
| Seppoz | i also got a windows laptop but i took the decition that i can do all i want for work on linux that is | 03:39 |
| Seppoz | i was using it long time in VM | 03:39 |
| EsoRottica | its taken me... amost 4 months, and finally there is something i jsut cant seem to figure out... FLgrx, xorg and my GPU temp | 03:39 |
| Seppoz | but no reason not to go bare | 03:39 |
| bonks | Is it possible to install ubuntu server with a 256MB usb drive onto the system's harddrive? I don't have a cdrom for the system that's why. | 03:39 |
| Seppoz | xorg is just the WM | 03:39 |
| willijs3 | kevdog got it. It seems simple enough | 03:39 |
| willijs3 | probably not though:) | 03:40 |
| EsoRottica | I'm with ya.. | 03:40 |
| Seppoz | bonks: see if ubunto offeres network install | 03:40 |
| kevdog | Why anyone would want to nuke windows is beyond me? I'm not saying I'm a fanboy of windows, but does anybody else work in the real world where everybody else uses Windows and you mailed all the proprietary files only windows can open | 03:40 |
| Seppoz | bonks: and use the programms that ubunto refere to to flash it on usb key | 03:40 |
| bonks | Seppoz: thanks i'll check that out | 03:41 |
| thiebaude | kevdog: i keep it in case i need it | 03:41 |
| EsoRottica | Kevdog, dont programd adhearing to the ODF all work?! | 03:41 |
| Seppoz | bonks: 256 might be a bit small tho not sure if that works out | 03:41 |
| willijs3 | kevdog: I've got a second laptop for just that purpose. But in order to learn something new, i had to jump in head first | 03:41 |
| Seppoz | bonks: the hard drive is bigger right? | 03:42 |
| kevdog | willijs3: its easy, the start on, stop on and exec statement are really the only lines that are needed -- the other stuff is either fluff or respawn lines (starts service again in case it suddenly dies unexpectedly) | 03:42 |
| bonks | Seppoz: Yes, the harddrive is 80gb, but i don't have any cdrom or spare flash drives to use | 03:42 |
| EsoRottica | I recently sat in a Windows enviornment with an HP touchpad (Running ubuntu) and managed a sharepoint install :) | 03:42 |
| kevdog | Newest Excel Format will not open in libre office for me | 03:42 |
| === dcpayne is now known as MontanaMan | ||
| MontanaMan | Hey there... | 03:43 |
| kevdog | Seems like what I do usually is use my windows computer -- and with the help of xming and ssh, get into my linux box that way | 03:44 |
| Seppoz | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet | 03:44 |
| MontanaMan | Everything else went well with my install except for the sound aspect of my Laptop | 03:44 |
| Seppoz | that one maybe | 03:44 |
| reasearcher123 | I have set Login automatically for Administrative account.I get message "Enter password to unlock your login keyring The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer."When I unlock the PC starts.But I cant set password for this user. What to do? | 03:45 |
| MontanaMan | Can't seem to get it up and running. From what I've seen, it's got a generic driver for the built in sound | 03:45 |
| willijs3 | kevdog: I'm gonna go play around with this for a while. Thanks again for the help | 03:45 |
| KM0201 | MontanaMan: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol | 03:45 |
| Seppoz | KM0201: is there something like nomodeset for the system? its installed bt when booting the screen stays black /mouse is there, backlight is on) | 03:45 |
| KM0201 | Seppoz: i believe you have to add it to the grub entry for that kernel | 03:45 |
| Seppoz | is there a way to do that from the installed syste? | 03:46 |
| Seppoz | like a safe mode | 03:46 |
| KM0201 | you have to add the entry to grub... from the grub menu | 03:46 |
| kevdog | willijs3: Don't overthink it -- its really easy. The start on line is probably the trickiest since it wont start the service unless the dependencies are already started. If you don't know what services your script depends on, you might have to look either at documentation, other examples, and just take a wild guesss | 03:46 |
| KM0201 | Seppoz: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html | 03:47 |
| MontanaMan | I went to the terminal and got the package installed... still no sound | 03:47 |
| KM0201 | MontanaMan: go to the dashboard, and do a search for pulseaudio volume control | 03:48 |
| MontanaMan | Volume 100% | 03:49 |
| MontanaMan | Standby | 03:49 |
| Vipp3r | is there any more rooms besides this one im new on here? | 03:49 |
| KM0201 | Vipp3r: #ubuntu-offtopic it's for offtopic bantering | 03:50 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: still here | 03:50 |
| MontanaMan | back... Sound configuration checks out... still no sound | 03:50 |
| MontanaMan | rates | 03:50 |
| MontanaMan | rats | 03:50 |
| Seppoz | KM0201: whats the apt-get command for nvidia drivers | 03:51 |
| KM0201 | Seppoz: um, not sure to be truthful, i always just use the additional driver manager | 03:51 |
| kevdog | yep | 03:51 |
| KM0201 | MontanaMan: what do you have as your settings on the "configuration" tab | 03:51 |
| kevdog | soundblaster on linux --- sucks!! | 03:51 |
| jenn_ | kevdog this is nicmcginnis from another computer | 03:51 |
| jenn_ | everything is broken man | 03:52 |
| jenn_ | system won't boot :( | 03:52 |
| MontanaMan | Configuration: Internal Audio Profile: Analog Stereo Output | 03:52 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Ok -- no worries -- | 03:52 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Can you boot into recovery mode -- that way we can just manually change back the /etc/fstab file | 03:53 |
| KM0201 | MontanaMan: try changing some options on the configuration tab | 03:53 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Or we could just swap back in the backup! | 03:53 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: bios starts up, then a black screen | 03:53 |
| |Slacker| | Seppoz, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates then sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 03:53 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: blinking cursor top left corner | 03:53 |
| kevdog | jenn_:What happens if you push f1 | 03:53 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: and nothing else | 03:53 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: nada | 03:54 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: I pulled out the laptop, installed IRC, came back | 03:54 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: I can boot into my ubuntu CD, and it sees the harddrives | 03:54 |
| LinuxRants | MontanaMan, the easiest thing to do is just put an MP3 or something on repeat and mess with those settings until something comes out. | 03:54 |
| roasted | Question - I changed my default ssh port away from 22. Is it possible to use ssh-copy-id now? I'm not sure what flag to use. | 03:54 |
| Seppoz | KM0201: im in ubuntu now activating the driver thanks to your link! | 03:54 |
| KM0201 | Seppoz: good news.. :) | 03:55 |
| Seppoz | indeed | 03:55 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Ok -- well you are in luck then -- can you just move the newly created file to some other file name and then restore or just copy the backup back to /etc/fstab? | 03:55 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: I managed to change the fstab back the way it was using the "try ubuntu without installing" environment but it still won't work :( | 03:55 |
| Seppoz | first time i saw that.. must be the strange laptop gpus | 03:55 |
| _Tristan | I switched wireless cards in my laptop and now it won't work. It's seated properly, I think this card just needs a different driver. What should I do? | 03:55 |
| jenn_ | I need to boot back into the environment, it will take a minute or two | 03:55 |
| Seppoz | install the firmware package | 03:56 |
| KM0201 | _Tristan: what chipset is the wireless card? thats the first thing to figure out | 03:56 |
| Seppoz | _Tristan: install the firmare package of your vendow.. eg firmware-realtek or so on | 03:56 |
| Seppoz | *vendor | 03:56 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Usually a black screen means something wrong with the video adapter in my experience | 03:56 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: that seems like an improbable coincidence | 03:56 |
| EsoRottica | kevdog: i think s/he said blinking cursor | 03:57 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: besides, everything looks fine when I boot into "try out ubuntu" from the disk | 03:57 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Hmm, yea I gues you were right | 03:57 |
| zykotick9 | jenn_: black screen on ubuntu is VERY common these days - typically nomodeset resolves, blinking cursor ususally means something else though | 03:57 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: yeah it is my gf's laptop | 03:57 |
| jenn_ | it is after I modified values in fstab | 03:57 |
| kevdog | jenn_: You need to make sure the ownership on the file of /etc/fstab is root root --> ls -la /etc/fstab | 03:58 |
| zykotick9 | jenn_: that would makes sense with a blinking cursor | 03:58 |
| jenn_ | returning them did not help. | 03:58 |
| MontanaMan | I've played with all the settings and have an MP3 playing in the background... not working :( | 03:58 |
| jenn_ | okay soon as I can get to terminal again I will try | 03:58 |
| jenn_ | shit I have to work in the morning :( | 03:58 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Is this mission critical? | 03:58 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: Kinda, yeah. | 03:59 |
| kevdog | jenn_: ok | 03:59 |
| kevdog | DEFCON 1 - DESTRUCTION IS EMMINENT! | 03:59 |
| jenn_ | okay, I'm in terminal from the ubuntu intall cd | 03:59 |
| MontanaMan | I guess I'm plum out of ideas. Is there anything else I cound try? | 04:00 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: how do I find out the path to etc\fstab? | 04:00 |
| roach | can someone hook me up with a ubuntu cloak? | 04:00 |
| kevdog | Its not /etc/fstab? | 04:00 |
| roach | please and thank you | 04:00 |
| LinuxRants | MontanaMan: Sorry, I came to the conversation late. What have you done already? | 04:01 |
| waxstone | jenn_, cd /etc/fstab | 04:01 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: no, that points to the ubuntu installation cd's file | 04:01 |
| zykotick9 | !cloak | roach | 04:01 |
| ubottu | roach: To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode. | 04:01 |
| Error404NotFound | I am trying to build duplicity from source but its failing. http://pastie.org/3675878 | 04:01 |
| jenn_ | I need the one on the HD where my installed OS is | 04:01 |
| kevdog | jenn_: What does the mount command list? | 04:01 |
| jenn_ | kedog: mount | 04:01 |
| jenn_ | oops | 04:01 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: I think the one I am after is /dev/sdb1 on /media/f530e869-170b-...... | 04:03 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: that's the UUID right | 04:03 |
| zykotick9 | roach: fyi, for an ubuntu cloak, you need to be an ubuntu member, see "/msg ubottu member" for details | 04:03 |
| KM0201 | jenn_: sudo blkid that will tell you what the UUID is of the partition you want to mount | 04:03 |
| MontanaMan | LinuxRants: Installed PulseAudio control from the command prompt, fooled around with the settings a bit with an MP3 file playing in the background and still no sound | 04:03 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Just to be clear -- what's not booting -- windows or ubuntu? | 04:03 |
| roasted | err, I don't have an xchat icon and it's open. any idea? | 04:04 |
| jenn_ | ubuntu | 04:04 |
| LinuxRants | MontanaMan: Hm, has it ever worked? | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | roasted: you mean in your taskbar? | 04:04 |
| jenn_ | there is no windows, it is not dual boot | 04:04 |
| roasted | KM0201, in the unity bar, yeah | 04:04 |
| roasted | KM0201, its open, I'm clearly using it, but no xchat icon | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | oh, sorry | 04:04 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Your old UUID was this: f530e869-170b-422c-a03d-de1c47b7b6f0 | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | i don't do unity | 04:04 |
| MontanaMan | It's worked in Windows | 04:04 |
| MontanaMan | It hasn't worked in Linux | 04:04 |
| roasted | KM0201, I didn't either, till 12.04. (which I should probably be over there actually) | 04:04 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: yes, typing the whole thing made it possible to access the file in gedit before | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | ya | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | roasted: or embrace the horror, choose a new UI..lol | 04:05 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: i removed the lines we added and ubuntu still does not boot | 04:05 |
| kevdog | jenn_:So you would find the file at /medial/f530e869-170b-422c-a03d-de1c47b7b6f0/etc/fstab | 04:05 |
| kevdog | jenn_:Did you edit the file as root? | 04:05 |
| roasted | KM0201, failing to see the issue here. I used to passionately hate unity, but 12.04 has presented some nice changes that negate the need to install anything else. | 04:05 |
| LinuxRants | MontanaMan: Sorry to ask things you've probably already answered.... what's your distro? | 04:05 |
| roasted | KM0201, but this is clearly a conversation for another room. ;) | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | true.. :) | 04:05 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: I typed in "sudo gedit \f530.....\etc\fstab" to edit it | 04:05 |
| kevdog | jenn_: gksu gedit /media/f530e869-170b-422c-a03d-de1c47b7b6f0/etc/fstab | 04:06 |
| Karmaon | ubuntu driver support is shit :( | 04:06 |
| MontanaMan | Ubuntu 11.10 (32 bit) | 04:06 |
| KM0201 | Karmaon: no its not | 04:06 |
| MontanaMan | Running on a Gateway MX7118 laptop | 04:06 |
| Karmaon | for netbooks | 04:06 |
| kevdog | roasted: Please! | 04:06 |
| roasted | kevdog, hi? | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Karmaon: its very good actualy. I have friends who use Linux due to no drivers in Windows | 04:07 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: okay, I'm in | 04:07 |
| kevdog | jenn_: In the file? | 04:07 |
| Karmaon | ActionParsnip: thats a surprise | 04:07 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: no internet on that computer though so I can't pastebin the contents | 04:07 |
| roasted | Karmaon, yeah, actually it's significantly better than windows.... I've had to support 2 thousand windows machines, and then 3,000 ubuntu machines. | 04:07 |
| Karmaon | i guess i'm the 1% who does | 04:07 |
| roasted | Karmaon, believe me, windows is not in favor there. | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Karmaon: no its very common in my experience, many companies actively make drivers for Linux too | 04:07 |
| kevdog | jenn_:Do you have the link to your old pastebin page (or you could just restore the backup) | 04:08 |
| roasted | Karmaon, really the only drivers youll have to install are broadcom wireless drivers and video drivers. | 04:08 |
| MontanaMan | LinuxRants: The last time I did an install from the OEM version of Windows, I had to hunt for the drivers LOL. It's the bastard laptop from Gateway, as I found out | 04:08 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: looking at the contents now, line 14 has been removed, and I've uncommented line 12 | 04:08 |
| roasted | Karmaon, everything else is baked in. | 04:08 |
| kevdog | roasted: unity?? really | 04:08 |
| roasted | Karmaon, windows can't even come close. | 04:08 |
| roasted | kevdog, what about it | 04:08 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: if you scroll your history the pastebin page should be there, it's not in this window since I had to log in as a different user | 04:08 |
| Karmaon | ook i lost | 04:08 |
| kevdog | jenn_:There are supposed to be 13 lines in the file | 04:08 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: alternatively, how I restore the bakup? | 04:09 |
| Karmaon | please don't hur tme | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Karmaon: its not about losing :), it's about learning | 04:09 |
| kevdog | http://paste.ubuntu.com/901515/ | 04:09 |
| roasted | Karmaon, no problem. I accept linux's short comings where they exist. but driver support is not one I'd say is a -1 to linux. :D | 04:09 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: yes, like 13 says "nls=iso8859-1,ro...." | 04:09 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: *line | 04:09 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Line 13 should be the following: /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ntfs nls=iso8859-1,ro,users,umask=000,user,owner 0 0 | 04:10 |
| LinuxRants | MontanaMan: Sorry about the delay, I don't have an install of that particular distro, I have a beta of 12.04 is all... but it should be SIMILAR at least. | 04:10 |
| LinuxRants | MontanaMan: What do you have on the Output tab under the Play sound through box? | 04:10 |
| kevdog | roasted: another time about unity bro -- I'll just spill the beans for me -- don't like it | 04:11 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: okay, there was a bunch of spaces between sdb1/ and media for some reason, I removed them, now it looks like you wrote | 04:11 |
| roasted | kevdog, I was with ya too man. I hated it in 11.04, semi disliked it in 11.10, but in 12.04 I'm loving it... | 04:11 |
| EsoRottica | If anyone has any experience with fglrx iI would greatly appreciate some help :) | 04:11 |
| roasted | kevdog, whenever you upgrade to 12.04, just give it a shot. it's worth it. :) | 04:11 |
| MontanaMan | LinuxRants: Output Devices: Internal Audio Analog Stereo. Port: Analog Headphones/No Amplifier | 04:12 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Line 12 is the following: UUID=e5908072-e71f-49b9-9387-d792bbad21b5 none swap users,sw,user,owner 0 0 | 04:12 |
| roasted | kevdog, gotta close down xchat though, so I'll be out of here for a few. Seriously though, try it when you upgrade. Have a good one. | 04:12 |
| MontanaMan | LinuxRants: In the Playback Tab, the sound is at 100% | 04:12 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: okay, we're good there too! | 04:12 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Line 10 is the following: UUID=f530e869-170b-422c-a03d-de1c47b7b6f0 / ext4 users,user,owner 0 1 | 04:12 |
| MontanaMan | all settings | 04:12 |
| kevdog | roasted: I'll see, however I'll try it -- but really I hate the concept of the HUD and the left panel --- ehh | 04:13 |
| dumb_dumb | guys | 04:13 |
| kevdog | jenn_:All the other lines are meaningless since they start with a # sign | 04:13 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: does it matter how much space is betwee the uuid and the / ext4 users,user,owner ? | 04:13 |
| dumb_dumb | I got an ubuntu server 8.04 | 04:13 |
| roasted | arg | 04:13 |
| roasted | why is xchat not giving me an icon in the unity bar | 04:13 |
| kevdog | jenn_: I don't think so | 04:14 |
| dumb_dumb | suddenly the network card is stopping | 04:14 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: what about 'proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid' | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: is there an option to not use the system tray icon.. | 04:14 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: what about 'proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid o,o' that is | 04:14 |
| dumb_dumb | but If i used other linux and boot from the cd the network card is function again | 04:14 |
| MontanaMan | LinuxRants: Just exploring a bit, but have the COnexant audio drivers been flaky on Linux setups? | 04:14 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip, oh wow, it doesn't even show up in alt tab.... | 04:14 |
| kevdog | jenn_: oops sorry I forgot that one | 04:15 |
| dumb_dumb | any idea how can i check the problems on my server? | 04:15 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip, weird?? | 04:15 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: should I have and reboot without the cd in the tray? anything else I should check? (permissions, ?) | 04:15 |
| kevdog | jenn_: save the file and go back to the terminal prompt and check the permissions on the file with a ls -la | 04:15 |
| dumb_dumb | I check the status is already UP | 04:16 |
| fabio | how to know what is the number of usb port? | 04:16 |
| fabio | of an device | 04:16 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: I typed in "ls -la" exactly and got a bunch of.... stuff. Do I need to specify that it is fstab I am interested in? What's the syntax? | 04:16 |
| kevdog | jenn_: should be something like: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1386 Feb 7 01:15 /etc/fstab | 04:17 |
| paulus68 | dumb_dumb: does it get a valid IP? | 04:17 |
| zykotick9 | jenn_: if you are in /etc you could use "ls -la fstab" | 04:17 |
| kevdog | jenn_: sudo ls -la /media/xxxxxxxxx/etc/fstab | 04:17 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: okay thanks | 04:17 |
| dumb_dumb | it stop the NIC light is off and it`s not get ip-address | 04:17 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 847 2012-03-27 | 04:19 |
| paulus68 | dumb_dumb: then it can't be up either | 04:19 |
| KM0201 | jenn_: why did you make a folder called /media/xxxx/etc/fstab? | 04:19 |
| jenn_ | km0201: I didn't, the UUID is just too long | 04:19 |
| kingfarvito | trying to install a harddrive and having issues | 04:19 |
| kingfarvito | getting the following error | 04:19 |
| KM0201 | jenn_: ok, so /media/UUID/etc/fstab | 04:19 |
| jenn_ | KM0201: yes :P | 04:19 |
| kingfarvito | media test failure check cable | 04:19 |
| dumb_dumb | pulus68 : if I check using ifconfig the i got eth0 | 04:20 |
| KM0201 | just curious why you named it /etc/fstab? | 04:20 |
| kingfarvito | exiting pxe rom | 04:20 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Ok good -- take cd out of drive and try to reboot | 04:20 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: aight. here we go. | 04:20 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| zykotick9 | kingfarvito: seems your motherboard doesn't think a HD is connected, so it's trying to network boot | 04:21 |
| kevdog | KM0201: Here is the problem -- made some mods to /etc/fstab and then stated the computer would boot but not get past bios screen -- then booted to live cd to restore old /etc/fstab | 04:21 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: ....and straight to blinking cursor in upper-left corner | 04:21 |
| paulus68 | dumb_dumb: sudo ifup eth0 what does this give for message | 04:21 |
| kevdog | KM0201: I'm not entirely convinced its the fstab file but I'm just backtracking | 04:21 |
| KM0201 | kevdog: most of the time fstab errors (as long as you've n ot jacked up the original /) you can hit Ctrl+(something) to skip any errors, | 04:21 |
| kingfarvito | ok so what should I do | 04:22 |
| kingfarvito | it started up just fine and was ok for about 10 mins | 04:22 |
| kevdog | KM0201: You're right, and the drive it would have choked on would not have been the root partition, so it doesn't make a lot of sense | 04:22 |
| KM0201 | kevdog: exactly | 04:22 |
| fabio | how to know what is the number of usb port? | 04:23 |
| dumb_dumb | paulus68: it doesn`t give any message | 04:23 |
| fabio | of an device | 04:23 |
| kevdog | KM0201: The problem with helping people on irc or the forums is that you really never know "what else they did" | 04:23 |
| kingfarvito | I didn't put the screws back yet, could that be it? | 04:23 |
| jenn_ | :( | 04:23 |
| kingfarvito | its a laptop by the way | 04:23 |
| kevdog | fabio: /media/usb | 04:23 |
| KM0201 | kevdog: this is so true. | 04:23 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: I had pysdm installed from prior. Could it be running interference? Any way to remove it from the live cd environment? | 04:24 |
| KM0201 | jenn_: maybe i missed it, but can you pastebin the contents of that fstab so i can take a look at it? | 04:24 |
| fabio | kevdog: no | 04:24 |
| paulus68 | dumb_dumb: should at least give you the message "interface eth0 is already configured | 04:24 |
| jenn_ | KM0201: Can't seem to get internet going from the live cd... | 04:24 |
| fabio | kevdog: says not found | 04:25 |
| kevdog | KM0201: the old fstab was this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/901515/ | 04:25 |
| fabio | Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0079:0006 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick | 04:25 |
| dumb_dumb | no theres no such message | 04:25 |
| kevdog | fabio: mount | 04:25 |
| jenn_ | KM0201: And I'm pretty sure it's the same as that one right now. | 04:25 |
| dumb_dumb | any suggestion to fix this? | 04:25 |
| jenn_ | Should I just reinstall or what? | 04:25 |
| KM0201 | kevdog: did you gusy remove line 13? | 04:25 |
| kingfarvito | no one? | 04:25 |
| jenn_ | km0201: no | 04:26 |
| KM0201 | i would start there | 04:26 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Just remove line 13 for now | 04:26 |
| fabio | kevdog: still no | 04:26 |
| KM0201 | that line doesn't look right (look at the others that are default, vs that one) | 04:26 |
| jenn_ | kevdog km0201: okay, I'll have to get back into the live cd... | 04:26 |
| ang | hi. how do i start networking at boot time in 11.04 without network-manager? | 04:26 |
| paulus68 | dumb_dumb: type in lshw>lshw.txt this should give you a list of all your hardware in a textfile in your homefolder then pastebinit the outcome here | 04:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ang: you can use ifconf or iwconfig | 04:27 |
| zykotick9 | ang: /etc/network/interfaces ? | 04:27 |
| kevdog | ang Within a script file in /etc/rc.local? | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ang: or you can use the interfaces file ^ | 04:27 |
| ang | i have an interface file, but on boot nothing comes up,I have to manually ifup both interfaces | 04:27 |
| kevdog | KM0201: 13 was put there by another program, but as I said -- this is an accessory drive so I'm confused | 04:27 |
| EsoRottica | Anyone know enough about fglrx that they could help with a heating issue? | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ang: do you have: auto eth0 line in the file? | 04:27 |
| zykotick9 | ang: do you have "auto eth0" in there | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: zing | 04:28 |
| daredevil | Hello guys is there any way to use gnome the old fashion way | 04:28 |
| ang | ahh, ok | 04:28 |
| daredevil | Without that Ubiquity thing? | 04:28 |
| KM0201 | kevdog: yeah.. something is weird (not totally convinced this is an fstab prob.. cuz like we both know, fstab errors you typically get the option to skip) | 04:28 |
| kevdog | Post your /etc/network/interfaces file | 04:28 |
| ang | that's probably it then :) | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | daredevil: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?p=53670 | 04:28 |
| daredevil | ActionParsnip, thank you | 04:28 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: taking a while to load.... | 04:29 |
| MTMan | Hello folks. Having trouble getting the sound to work on my laptop | 04:29 |
| MTMan | back... | 04:29 |
| rbrooks | hi | 04:29 |
| paulus68 | is there a good program that does the same thing as Itunes under windows? and is there a good program to take over the desktop remotely under ubuntu? | 04:29 |
| kevdog | KM0201: I'm thinking its a xorg or video driver problem, however shouldn't you still be able to drop to a cmd shell with f6 (or is it f1)? | 04:29 |
| KM0201 | kevdog: yes, you should | 04:30 |
| Karmaon | which device is generally /boot? sdb1 or sdb2? | 04:30 |
| Karmaon | i meant partition | 04:30 |
| kevdog | paulus68: What desktop do you want to take over | 04:30 |
| MTMan | paulus68: Banshee looks promising | 04:30 |
| AI|Loop | Karmaon: try the first one | 04:30 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: okay, will comment out line 13 | 04:30 |
| paulus68 | kevdog: my ubuntu at home remotely from another ubuntu pc | 04:30 |
| paulus68 | MTMan: thanks | 04:30 |
| ang | thx. I got rid of the network-manager as it was giving my NICs weird names like eth1-eth0 and ignoring the udev rules I had for naming the NICs ... time to reboot and test | 04:31 |
| daredevil | meaning that we have to deal with this until april 26? | 04:31 |
| kevdog | Karmaon: it could be anything, however mine is sda1, however it depends on how you set the drives up | 04:31 |
| EsoRottica | paulus68: remote desktop viewer? | 04:31 |
| kevdog | paulus68: Do you need a gui or just a command line? | 04:31 |
| MTMan | kevdog: Are there any drivers I could get for a Conexant audio setup? | 04:31 |
| paulus68 | kevdog: gui | 04:32 |
| AI|Loop | Karmaon : to add to what kevdog said, use sudo fdisk -l to find out | 04:32 |
| daredevil | ActionParsnip, meaning that we have to deal with this until 4/26? | 04:32 |
| kevdog | MTMan: no idea on that one, sorry | 04:32 |
| jenn_ | kevdog KM0201: commented out 13, restarting | 04:32 |
| KM0201 | jenn_: ok | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | daredevil: how do you mean? | 04:32 |
| daredevil | The website is saying that the classic will be available in the 12.04 version | 04:33 |
| MTMan | I'm going to do some searching in Google to see what I can do... KInda at the end of my rope with this setup | 04:33 |
| jenn_ | kevdog KM0201: nope, blinking cursor again | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | daredevil: you don't have to use Unity, Unity is only in one of the 4 official variants of Ubuntu.... | 04:33 |
| KM0201 | hmmm | 04:33 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Hit f6 | 04:33 |
| kevdog | or f1 | 04:33 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: nothing | 04:33 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: on either | 04:33 |
| kevdog | or all the f keys | 04:33 |
| ang | yep. that did it. thanks | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | daredevil: try installing Xubuntu, its very similar to Gnome2 | 04:33 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: i'm just going to move all my data off the main hard drive using the live CD and reinstall ubuntu from scratch (format, etc.) | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jenn_: I suggest you get a backup regime | 04:34 |
| EsoRottica | bah, i need to do the same, what is a good imaging program? | 04:35 |
| daredevil | ActionParsnip, I think i am going to use kde4 or xfce until the change this crappy gnome | 04:35 |
| kevdog | jenn_: That might be the fastest way to do it -- particularly if your system is new -- however your setup should definitely be recoverable -- the problem is that I'm just not sitting in front of your computer | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | daredevil: Unity is not Gnome | 04:35 |
| KM0201 | jenn_: at this point, i would agree w/ ActionParsnip .... something has happened to your system | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | daredevil: Unity is a shell for Gnome, nothing more | 04:35 |
| Karmaon | While running update-grub i get 'cannot find list of partitions (try mounting /sys.) | 04:35 |
| daredevil | Ok i want to be able to use native gnome | 04:35 |
| daredevil | not the shell | 04:35 |
| jenn_ | the option to boot in recovery doesn't even appear... | 04:35 |
| KM0201 | daredevil: "native gnome" is no more | 04:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Karmaon: are you using a chroot? | 04:36 |
| paulus68 | kevdog: gui | 04:36 |
| jenn_ | ugh. | 04:36 |
| EsoRottica | paulus68: did you see Remote desktop viewer? | 04:36 |
| kevdog | What happens when you hit escape key during boot process -- oh and one more thing -- is your bios setup to boot from the ubuntu hard drive? | 04:36 |
| paulus68 | E | 04:36 |
| paulus68 | EsoRottica: no not yet | 04:36 |
| Karmaon | ActionParsnip: nevermind, i forgot to mount /sys to /mnt/sys | 04:36 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: yeah, I even went to the boot menu to make sure | 04:36 |
| paulus68 | EsoRottica: will check it out | 04:37 |
| daredevil | ok guys i am kind of confuse but what i am trying to say is that i would like to use gnome as in the old version of gnome 9.04 | 04:37 |
| EsoRottica | paulus68: it is built in. | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Karmaon: thought so ;) | 04:37 |
| daredevil | sorry ubuntu 9.04 | 04:37 |
| paulus68 | EsoRottica: thanks | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | daredevil: the guide I gave shows how to tweak it | 04:37 |
| EsoRottica | paulus68: you may need to set a port forwarding rule. | 04:37 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: I can ctrl alt del from my blinking cursor to reboot. | 04:37 |
| kevdog | paulus68: I prefer using an X server and tunneling X or ssh, however there is also a vnc or freenx solution | 04:37 |
| daredevil | Ok let me read more | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | jenn_: hold shift at boot | 04:37 |
| kevdog | jenn_; but the boot order is set correctly in the bios correct? | 04:37 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: yes | 04:37 |
| fabio | how to know what is the number of usb port of an device | 04:38 |
| paulus68 | kevdog: EsoRottica: thanks | 04:38 |
| jenn_ | ActionParsnip: it goes straight from BIOS to blinking cursor... | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | fabio: do your ports have numbers? | 04:38 |
| ex0s | lsusb | 04:38 |
| jenn_ | ActionParsnip: except when I ask bios to boot from the live CD... | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | jenn_: hold shift as soon as the system powers up | 04:38 |
| fabio | ActionParsnip: how to see? | 04:39 |
| kevdog | ActionParsnip: waz up with the shift key? don't know this trick | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: sounds to me like jenn_ might be missing grub? | 04:39 |
| ex0s | use the command: lsusb | 04:39 |
| jenn_ | ActionParsnip: does nothing... f11 is boot menu, del is bios setup | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | kevdog: grub2 uses shift not esc | 04:39 |
| Karmaon | Afterwards, I also get "/var/lock/lvm: mkdir failed: no such file or directory" thrown at me. | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | fabio: it doesn't exist and its irrelevant, it all goes throught the same controller | 04:39 |
| EsoRottica | fabio: lsusb | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jenn_: did you MD5 test the ISO you put on the USB? | 04:39 |
| kevdog | zykotick9: shit, forgot about that crap | 04:40 |
| fabio | Bus 002 Device 013: ID 0079:0006 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick | 04:40 |
| fabio | EsoRottica: Bus 002 Device 013: ID 0079:0006 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick | 04:40 |
| ex0s | yea | 04:40 |
| kevdog | ActionParsnip: Supposedly system was working and then made modification to fstab and now won't boot | 04:40 |
| jenn_ | ActionParsnip: I can only boot from a CD I burned, I don't recall checking the md5. | 04:40 |
| ex0s | bus oo2 | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | jenn_ | 04:40 |
| ubottu | jenn_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 04:40 |
| EsoRottica | i thought md5sum filename? | 04:41 |
| alexim | is there an aptitude command to restore default config files, specifically for apache2? | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | fabio: https://systemausfall.org/wikis/howto/EMC2GamePad | 04:41 |
| AI|Loop | how do I go about having someone write the drivers for new hardware? (The lan controller in a Gigabit Guerilla motherboard :: freescale microchip) | 04:41 |
| ex0s | fabio: all the info is there | 04:41 |
| kevdog | jenn_: Its possible your partition is corrupt, could burn a gparted distribution, boot into that from cd, and I think check your drives with that utiltiy | 04:41 |
| ex0s | or just boot from another live cd | 04:42 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: it smells like sudden hardware error, doesn't it | 04:42 |
| ex0s | run goarted or a progrqm or the like | 04:42 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: like the boot partition got corrupted? | 04:42 |
| kevdog | jenn_: not sure -- its kinda weird | 04:42 |
| fabio | ex0s: i want to know what port is... | 04:42 |
| ssfdre38 | what is the command to get the restricted dvd formats from apt | 04:43 |
| EsoRottica | could you syslinux the drive to fix it? extlinux? | 04:43 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: yeah. I should go to bed. The install is relatively fresh, I can always just format and start over and not play with settings until I know what I am doing. | 04:43 |
| zykotick9 | !dvd | ssfdre38 | 04:43 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: lesson learned. | 04:43 |
| ubottu | ssfdre38: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 04:43 |
| ex0s | fabio: on ur machine?? u cant physically see it?? | 04:43 |
| jenn_ | Still, this kinda sucks. | 04:43 |
| fabio | ex0s: .... | 04:43 |
| ex0s | i dont know what u mean bro? | 04:44 |
| fabio | ex0s: i want to see the inputs of an device | 04:44 |
| kevdog | jenn_: I use gparted sometime if something goes crazy with my partition table, however if you really don't have anything on the install it probably is quickest just to "start over" however it just depends how much you want to invest "learning", nothing teaches you more about linux than borking your install and then fixing it | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | kevdog: +1 | 04:44 |
| fabio | ex0s: when i press the button what the device send to my pc | 04:44 |
| ex0s | like check out /dev | 04:44 |
| ex0s | ohh | 04:44 |
| paulus68 | kevdog +1 | 04:44 |
| MontanaMan | back | 04:45 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: the problem is so opaque to me I wouldn't know where to start. | 04:45 |
| ex0s | umm i dont think u can never heard ofthat dude | 04:45 |
| MontanaMan | I think I figured out my problem | 04:45 |
| MontanaMan | At any rate I did get the sound to work... | 04:45 |

| MontanaMan | This Conexant crap is the PITS! | 04:45 |
| ex0s | ohhh | 04:45 |
| ex0s | sorry | 04:45 |
| ex0s | try: dmesg | 04:45 |
| kevdog | jenn_: hate to tell you this, however I was in the same boat as you a few years ago :p | 04:45 |
| fabio | *how to know witch port is | 04:45 |
| paulus68 | kevdog: or use virtual box to play arround if you want to experiment | 04:45 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: though I respect the open source ethos when it comes to, you know, self-learning | 04:45 |
| ex0s | dmesg : is the command u want | 04:45 |
| fabio | ex0s: dmesg dont gives me notning | 04:45 |
| Karmaon | is the /var/lock/lvm not existing just a bug with oneiric? | 04:45 |
| MontanaMan | LinuxRants: Got 'er figured out... just installed a 3rd party driver | 04:45 |
| ex0s | lol... unplug the device plug it back in then run dmesg | 04:46 |
| jenn_ | kevdog: anyway, I'm going to go to bed,. thanks for trying to help me out. | 04:46 |
| kevdog | jenn_:again if its mission critical and you need just a running system, probably quickest to just reinstall | 04:46 |

| fabio | some kind of monitor | 04:49 |
| ex0s | lol never heard of it man ur in the wring place | 04:49 |
| kevdog | MontanaMan: Whats your chipset of the card? or is this usb? I'm betting this is a broadcom | 04:49 |
| ex0s | no | 04:49 |
| ex0s | not lie what ur askin | 04:49 |
| MontanaMan | kevdog: You hit that nail right on the head. It's a broadcom | 04:50 |
| MontanaMan | The only way I'm connected to the net with this thing is with it wired into my LAN | 04:50 |
| kevdog | fabio: I'm not certain -- I've only done what you want to do with serial ports back in the day -- I'm not accustomed to this new USB stuff | 04:50 |
| MontanaMan | But I'd sure like to use it wirelessly | 04:50 |
| kevdog | MM: You are going to have to download the firmware | 04:50 |
| MontanaMan | kevdog: Where would I get the firmware? | 04:51 |
| kevdog | MM: Let me look that up -- I've done it before -- but you kind of forget once everything "works" for a really long time | 04:51 |
| ghostconn | well i just installed mint 12 kde. should i update to 4.3.8 or no? | 04:51 |

| ActionParsnip | dumb_dumb: does the interface have an IP? | 04:55 |
| dumb_dumb | right now is no | 04:55 |
| dumb_dumb | but a few days ago it works fine | 04:56 |
| MontanaMan | kevdog: Got it.. Now how about the command that would get this driver on-line | 04:56 |
| dumb_dumb | and if I`m using the CD and boot from the CD the network card is working fine | 04:56 |
| ActionParsnip | dumb_dumb: if you restart the networking service, then pull the interface down then up, are there any clues? | 04:56 |
| dumb_dumb | no | 04:57 |
| kevdog | MontanaMan: Working from command line or do you just want to use network manager? | 04:57 |
| dumb_dumb | there`s no clue at all | 04:57 |
| rogst | dumb_dumb: does the inteface have a static ip or dhcp? | 04:57 |
| MontanaMan | kevdog: Either or | 04:57 |
| dumb_dumb | it used have a dynamic IP | 04:57 |
| dumb_dumb | if I used ifconfig the eth0 state is already UP | 04:58 |
| mushe | SUP NIGGAS | 04:58 |
| MontanaMan | kevdog: Checked under settings then Network. IT says "unavailable" under Wireless | 04:58 |
| kevdog | MontanaMan: I think Network Manager would be the easiest -- cant you just take the wired connection down and pull up the wired connection or you might have to run sudo service networking restart command first | 04:58 |

| kevdog | alazare619: yes - but I prefer running X over ssh since I think its faster, but this won't work if you cant install xming on the client -- in that case you'll need portable apps like putty, | 05:30 |

| ActionParsnip | dumb_dumb: if you unload then reload the module, is it ok | 05:30 |
| webnet | ActionParsnip, im actually surprised xchat is working | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | webnet: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and you can run stuff there | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | dumb_dumb: thought about using a later release, Precise is LTS and out now in beta but will be out next month, could also install Lucid server which is LTS also | 05:31 |
| webnet | ActionParsnip, still nothing. im on 10.10 by the way. idk if you are giving me unity shortcuts | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | webnet: CTRL+ALT+T and CTRL+ALT+F1 work in all DEs | 05:32 |

| ActionParsnip | dumb_dumb: no idea, sorry | 05:34 |
| kevdog | And you know what --- things were so much simpler back in the day -- just my opinion | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | webnet: there are boot options to make monitors work with GPUs, its a common thing | 05:34 |
| webnet | ActionParsnip, the lcd works but the backlight doesnt function | 05:34 |

| ubuntu64bit | everything works great so far only noticiable flaw is when i hit ctrl-alt-f1 to switch from gui to usermode then switch back from usermode to gui the screen that boot's is garbled to get it back to normal i have to minimize the first window and maximize it back to clear out the garbled window :P | 05:57 |
| drounse | ActionParsnip ok thank you | 05:57 |
| interlude | wylde: thanks. just for future reference what in the process would indicate that it's a false positive? | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: you will find most GUI converter things are basically frontends to mencoder and/or ffmpeg | 05:58 |
| lotuspsychje | all this rules and ego mess up all irc, but to help someone would be very easy | 05:58 |
| webnet | ActionParsnip. i suppose so, but wouldnt it not get past bios splash if it were the ram?. would the use of U-Customizer have anything to do with it? | 05:59 |
| lotuspsychje | ill try google next time | 05:59 |
| scientes | debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: ok, riddle me this. What is the best colour? | 05:59 |
| scientes | i cancelled the ttf-mscorefonts installer cause i didn't want to agree with the license | 05:59 |
| scientes | and now it fed up my dpkg | 05:59 |
| scientes | thats a bug if i ever saw one | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptfix | scientes | 06:00 |
| ubottu | scientes: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 06:00 |
| wylde | interlude: I'm basing my opinion that it's a false positive on dhclient and NetworkManager are known native processes | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | scientes: no, you killed the process, probably with CTRL+C, so not a bug | 06:00 |
| wylde | interlude: but, if you have reason to suspect there's a problem you should really look into it further. | 06:01 |
| scientes | ActionParsnip, well, there is no way to no agree to the license | 06:01 |
| scientes | it only has the option <ok> | 06:01 |
| scientes | and not <cancel> | 06:01 |
| scientes | also ActionParsnip i am use to aptitude and dpkg lock, but this is /var/cache/debconf/config.dat | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | scientes: that sounds more like a bug. | 06:01 |
| scientes | it use to not present the license IIRC | 06:02 |
| neo1691 | I am unable to stop the network manager using sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop | 06:02 |
| scientes | i mean, why cant wine just depend on RedHat's librefonts replacement of mscorefonts for the web | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | scientes: could suggest that in the bug :) | 06:03 |
| CFHowlett | scientes perhaps you might suggest that to !winehq | 06:03 |
| CFHowlett | #winehq | 06:03 |
| EsoRottica | okay, now i feel retarted. | 06:03 |
| EsoRottica | where is 12.94? | 06:03 |
| EsoRottica | 12.04* | 06:03 |
| CFHowlett | !precise|esorottica | 06:03 |
| ubottu | esorottica: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | EsoRottica: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 06:04 |
| EsoRottica | Thanks | 06:04 |
| interlude | wylde: cool thanks. i've ran chkrootkit before and don't remember seeing this. but i'm guessing it could be due to a system update | 06:04 |
| malkauns | how do u make conky always-on-top? | 06:05 |
| wylde | interlude: I believe there's a channel on freenode for security as well, could probably get some good input from there too. | 06:06 |
| interlude | wylde: thanks. do you know the name of the channel? | 06:07 |
| wylde | interlude: ##security I believe | 06:08 |
| pengw_ | ok i figured it out | 06:09 |
| interlude | wylde: thanks | 06:09 |
| Doodie | is there a way to see if anyone from my network is pinging my address? | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Doodie: I'd check router logs | 06:09 |
| Doodie | ActionParsnip, where do i find that? | 06:10 |
| sacarlson | Doodie: I think wireshark with maybe an added filter to see attepted pings | 06:11 |
| scientes | Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should | 06:12 |
| scientes | ffffff | 06:12 |
| fartofagony | "NASM is an auto−configuring package: once you’ve unpacked it, cd to the directory it’s been unpacked into | 06:13 |
| fartofagony | and type ./configure.". i type ./configure in the command prompt and get the error message: "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory". i cant find a solution for my problem anywhere | 06:13 |
| scientes | fartofagony, try ./autogen.sh | 06:14 |
| scientes | also, you have to be in the right directory fartofagony | 06:14 |
| fartofagony | yup | 06:15 |
| fartofagony | am in the right one | 06:15 |
| scientes | did you try autogen? | 06:16 |
| fartofagony | where the subdirectory is which was extracted there | 06:16 |
| scientes | you ahve to be IN the directory | 06:16 |
| fartofagony | no iidea what that is, im a windows user who just started with linux | 06:17 |
| scientes | also, your going to need to do apt-get install build-essential | 06:17 |
| fartofagony | have so much to learn :( | 06:17 |
| scientes | in general however fartofagony, you should stick to the software in the ubuntu repositories | 06:17 |
| scientes | you system will be alot stabler that way | 06:17 |
| scientes | also !checkinstall if you need something that isn't in the repos | 06:17 |
| webnet | ActionParsnip do you think my running u customize may have had anything to do with it. Juts swapped out to new ramp and still no beans. | 06:17 |
| fartofagony | scientes: yeah, but the one you may be refering to is behind in versions | 06:18 |
| scientes | what package is it? | 06:18 |
| webnet | *ram | 06:18 |
| fartofagony | nasm | 06:18 |
| scientes | its not behidn | 06:19 |
| fartofagony | hmm im sure it was, let me check again | 06:19 |
| scientes | 2.09 vs 2.10 | 06:19 |
| fartofagony | hmm | 06:19 |
| fartofagony | yup | 06:19 |
| scientes | unless you are using lucid, that is | 06:19 |
| fartofagony | nope | 06:20 |
| fartofagony | i guess the best thing to do is to jinstall the 2.9 one | 06:20 |
| scientes | yeah, that really is recommended | 06:20 |
| fartofagony | thjanks | 06:21 |
| scientes | however, yes they use autogen | 06:21 |
| scientes | so you have to ./autogen.sh | 06:21 |
| scientes | that was the problem | 06:21 |
| fartofagony | oh | 06:21 |
| scientes | http://repo.or.cz/w/nasm.git/tree | 06:21 |
| scientes | so its ./autogen.sh; make; checkinstall make install | 06:21 |
| fartofagony | typed it down for later research | 06:22 |
| scientes | (checkinstall is recommended so you can do clear uninstalls of manually installed packages | 06:22 |
| fartofagony | been up exactly 20 hours trying to install it | 06:22 |
| scientes | you could also download the debian package and upgrade it, and then do dpkg-buildpackage | 06:22 |
| scientes | but for any of that, you need a c compiler and other tools | 06:22 |
| scientes | so apt-get install build-essential is very useful | 06:22 |
| fartofagony | yes | 06:22 |
| fartofagony | hm raises another question: | 06:23 |
| fartofagony | a stand-alone c compiler. is there one? | 06:23 |
| scientes | also, its generally nicer to get sources with git | 06:23 |
| scientes | fartofagony, what do you mean by stand-alone? | 06:23 |
| fartofagony | or perhaps they use the linker of c too | 06:23 |
| scientes | gcc can target bar metal | 06:23 |
| scientes | and ubuntu also packages an arm cross-compiler in the amd64 (and i386?) repos | 06:24 |
| scientes | armel (EABI) and armhf (armv7) | 06:24 |
| fartofagony | aha | 06:24 |
| scientes | so you don't have to build it yourself | 06:24 |
| fartofagony | whew | 06:24 |
| scientes | if you needed other arches emdebian packages basically every sensible cross-compiler | 06:24 |
| scientes | in a very ubuntu-friendly format | 06:25 |
| scientes | there is also | 06:25 |
| scientes | dpkg: llvm | 06:25 |
| scientes | whatever, llvm | 06:25 |
| scientes | + clang | 06:25 |
| nemos | pam issues here with pop3, any help ? here's the log http://pastebin.com/i6PJ1cv0 and the pop3 config http://pastebin.com/FuFenXdc | 06:25 |
| scientes | fartofagony, what are you trying to do, may i ask? | 06:25 |
| nemos | authdaemond: pam_winbind(pop3:auth): pam_winbind_request: write to socket failed authdaemond: pam_winbind(pop3:auth): internal module error (retval = 3, user = 'xxxxx') | 06:26 |
| scientes | <fartofagony> a stand-alone c compiler. is there one? | 06:26 |
| scientes | build-essential, will give you a full-fledged POSIX build environment | 06:27 |
| ghostconn | dose kde support compiz? | 06:27 |
| scientes | ghostconn, yes | 06:27 |
| fartofagony | scientes: been studying c++ for a while now, and i got depressed when i read what asm languages were, so i built the desire to learn coding in nasm in linux enviroment | 06:27 |
| scientes | https://lwn.net/Articles/250967/ | 06:27 |
| fartofagony | scientes: 20 years windows, life wasted on gaming and such | 06:27 |
| scientes | however i think you are targetting to low a level | 06:27 |
| fartofagony | yup | 06:28 |
| scientes | esp as ARM is getting big in a very big way | 06:28 |
| scientes | nasm doesn't work on ARM | 06:28 |
| scientes | and you should really leave the algorythms to the libraries | 06:28 |
| fartofagony | hmm | 06:28 |
| fartofagony | :( | 06:28 |
| ghostconn | kk, another question how Im running mint 12 with kde 4.7.4 how would i update to the latest version | 06:28 |
| fartofagony | scientes: youre probably right | 06:29 |
| scientes | fartofagony, this was a great video i watched earlier www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kEfedtQVOY | 06:29 |
| scientes | meh, maybe that isn't right | 06:29 |
| iceroot | !mint | ghostconn | 06:29 |
| ubottu | ghostconn: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 06:29 |
| ghostconn | thers not a single person in that channel | 06:29 |
| scientes | but there is alot required for good code, and letting the computer do some of the low level stuff helps | 06:30 |
| iceroot | ghostconn: its on another network | 06:30 |
| iceroot | ghostconn: and mint is offtopic here | 06:30 |
| fartofagony | scientes: only problem is, its a woman talking | 06:30 |
| ghostconn | ? | 06:30 |
| ghostconn | how do i get there, sorry guys | 06:30 |
| scientes | ghostconn, irc://irc.spotchat.org/linuxmint-help | 06:30 |
| iceroot | ghostconn: /connect irc.spotchat.org | 06:30 |
| scientes | ghostconn, right click on that and click "connect" | 06:31 |
| ghostconn | thanks allot guys. great community over hear | 06:31 |
| scientes | funny thing, is that that is how i get to odd servers too | 06:32 |
| scientes | cause its alot easier than the other ways to configure xchat | 06:32 |
| scientes | fartofagony, I personally recommend starting with perl, ruby, or python | 06:33 |

| scientes | !skype | 06:36 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 06:36 |
| scientes | !ekiga | 06:36 |
| ubottu | ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga | 06:36 |
| scientes | ^^^^skype is insecure/defective by design | 06:36 |
| becom33 | I've used skype in ubuntu . I just cant find where is hidden | 06:36 |
| scientes | ZRPT is where it is at | 06:36 |
| scientes | *ZRPT | 06:36 |
| becom33 | in not on the dorks | 06:36 |
| scientes | try alt-tab | 06:37 |
| scientes | or hold the superman key and read what it says | 06:37 |
| becom33 | scientes: I tried alt n tab doesnt work | 06:38 |
| becom33 | whats superman key ? | 06:38 |
| scientes | the one with the superman cape on it | 06:38 |
| bazhang | super key= windows key | 06:38 |

| becom33 | um sorry wat ? | 06:41 |
| scientes | !gnom-shell | 06:41 |
| scientes | aka, not the dork menu | 06:41 |
| scientes | !gnome-shell | 06:41 |
| penguinlink | whats the dork menu? | 06:41 |
| scientes | i think becom33 is referring to unity | 06:42 |
| almoxarife | penguinlink: you know, the 'dork' menu | 06:42 |
| ubuntu64bit | becom33: i have alot of the same problems lol so i downloaded cairo-dock and click the applications menu icon to find what i'm looking for alot of times | 06:42 |
| becom33 | still I cant find my opened skype :/ | 06:42 |
| almoxarife | becom33: perhaps its not open? | 06:43 |
| scientes | try alt-f2 | 06:43 |
| scientes | and then type "skype" | 06:43 |
| nullcall | hi all i have problem i load ubuntu 11.04 on my P4 machine on Gigabyte mother board with 1.5 GB RAM it installed fine but might be prob with display its filkering.... | 06:43 |
| scientes | nullcall, nvidia or ati/amd graphics? | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | nullcall: what video chip do you use? | 06:44 |
| scientes | nullcall, did it work on the livecd before the install? | 06:44 |
| nullcall | scientes: install | 06:45 |
| scientes | common type, based on the layout of the keyboard | 06:45 |
| scientes | i do that one all the time | 06:45 |
| CFHowlett | nullcall pentium 4? pretty old - as is your GPU I'm guessing. I suggest you look at xubuntu or lubuntu. both are designed for older, lower spec machines like yours. | 06:45 |
| scientes | but he has 1.5 GB ram | 06:46 |
| scientes | he could just use gnome classic or unity-2d | 06:46 |
| nopleaseno | My mouse lags. The cursor moves about a second after I move the mouse. I shut the computer down yesterday evening, all was fine. I booted it this morning, now my mouse lags. What is wrong, how do I fix it and most importantly who do I blame? | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | nullcall: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga | 06:46 |
| nullcall | scientes: all are installed perfectily all settings are fine but might be probliem with screen i m using 29" LCD and there i cant see menus or any thing proparly | 06:46 |
| CFHowlett | scientes p4 and I'd bet older gpu... | 06:46 |
| becom33 | scientes: tried but it opened a new window , and almoxarife it is open I see people going online and offline | 06:46 |
| nullcall | ActionParsnip: i cant see anything proparly i cant running any commands | 06:46 |
| scientes | becom33, click on the skype logo in the top right | 06:46 |
| nullcall | :( | 06:46 |
| malkauns | any conky experts here? how do u make conky always-on-top? | 06:47 |
| scientes | nullcall, do you get the login window? | 06:47 |
| scientes | malkauns, yuck | 06:47 |
| ActionParsnip | nullcall: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run it there | 06:47 |
| nullcall | yes | 06:47 |
| scientes | malkauns, use htop or something a little better | 06:47 |
| nullcall | before login all are fine | 06:47 |
| becom33 | scientes: there is no logo | 06:47 |
| nullcall | mean screen and ll | 06:47 |
| malkauns | scientes, i use conky for 1 thing, cpu ring indicator | 06:48 |
| scientes | nullcall, you need to select unity-2d before logging in, click on the ubuntu icon next to your name (to the right) | 06:48 |
| malkauns | scientes, pretty sure htop doesnt do that :P | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | nullcall: log in to unity2D, may help. | 06:48 |
| ghostconn | where would i find my banshee plugins folder in kde? | 06:48 |
| ghostconn | whats the directory? i need to install a plugin | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostconn: same place as in gnome DE | 06:49 |
| scientes | malkauns, what is cpu ring? | 06:49 |
| scientes | could you cant possibly measure system/user mode ring stuff | 06:49 |
| nullcall | ActionParsnip: & scientes: i'll do that n get back to you after that tx | 06:49 |
| syn-ack | hah | 06:49 |
| syn-ack | scientes, You don | 06:49 |
| malkauns | scientes, a graphical ring that shows cpu usage | 06:49 |
| research4oscar | i am trying to install webmin on my fresh ubuntu installation but i get failed due to dependencies. | 06:49 |
| syn-ack | I was thinking of process rings. | 06:49 |
| ghostconn | actionparsnip, i honestly cant find it | 06:50 |
| almoxarife | !webmin | 06:50 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | research4oscar: its not compatible with ubuntu | 06:50 |
| scientes | malkauns, well anyways, you can use devilspie | 06:50 |
| scientes | malkauns, actually, apt-get install compiz-settings-manager | 06:50 |
| malkauns | what does that do? | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !ebox | research4oscar | 06:50 |
| ubottu | research4oscar: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 06:50 |
| malkauns | scientes, does that do what i am talking about? | 06:50 |
| ghostconn | and in gnome is would be int he gnome folder? lol | 06:51 |
| scientes | malkauns, yes, you can do it with compiz settings manager | 06:51 |
| scientes | OR with devilspie, but that is generally for use with metacity | 06:51 |
| research4oscar | ActionParsnip: thanks i will take a look | 06:51 |
| _nedR | hello, i was trying to compile latest version of vlc but it seems to need latest version libv4l.. i think these are available at packages.ubuntu (precise).. would downloading and installing these version break or mess up anything? | 06:51 |
| malkauns | scientes, how do u get a graphical cpu usage indicator with compiz settings manager? | 06:51 |
| scientes | malkauns, you can get conky to stay on top with it | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | malkauns: if you use devilspie, grab gdevilspie from googlecode. Makes config a lot easier | 06:52 |
| malkauns | scientes, how? | 06:52 |
| scientes | to satisfy your freaky ricer needs | 06:52 |
| scientes | in fact, i bet you could waste days messing with gdevilspie | 06:52 |
| malkauns | i tried window rules "(class=conky)" but it didnt work | 06:52 |
| almoxarife | _nedR: it should not | 06:52 |
| scientes | malkauns, there is a way to query the variables ties to a window | 06:53 |
| research4oscar | ActionParsnip: just to be sure, i installed ubuntu 11.04 | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | _nedR: mixing debs between releases is not advised or supported | 06:53 |
| scientes | BAD idea | 06:53 |
| scientes | also, when will launchpad build for debian? | 06:53 |
| malkauns | scientes, i tried that but using the plus shaped cursor but it doesnt seem to recognize the conky object | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | research4oscar: its not compatible with any ubuntu | 06:54 |
| _nedR | thanks for replies.. ActionParsnip: what is the recommended course of action | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | _nedR: there is a vlc ppa. Try that | 06:54 |
| scientes | vlc FTW | 06:54 |
| _nedR | well i want to compile vlc not get latest version | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnome-mplayer ftw | 06:55 |
| scientes | mplayer FTfail | 06:55 |
| _nedR | i mean compile the latest versions | 06:55 |
| scientes | either gstreamer or vlc IMHO | 06:55 |
| scientes | and i tend to lean towards gstreamer | 06:55 |
| scientes | but i like vlc's interface better | 06:56 |
| sacarlson | _nedR: ppa sometimes has daily builds but if you want to compile then you'll need to install all the -dev dependancies | 06:56 |
| research4oscar | ActionParsnip: i meant to ask that if the recommended zentyal might be appropriate for ubuntu 11.04 | 06:56 |
| scientes | _nedR, if you want to compile apt-get build-dep vlc | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Vlc remote is awesome | 06:56 |
| foobArrr | gstreamer? I thought that is a library and no player. Am I wrong? | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | research4oscar: should be, yes | 06:56 |
| ghostconn | where is application data stored with kde? | 06:56 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: oh and the later version of vlc remote doesn't work over my android phone any more | 06:57 |
| scientes | foobArrr, gstreamer, yes is a library, but gnome's player that uses it is labled "media player" | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostconn: ~/.kde for kde apps | 06:57 |
| research4oscar | ActionParsnip: thanks. | 06:57 |
| _nedR | yes i did all that already ... but this one dep libv4l-dev is outdated .. as off the latest git version of vlc.. my question really is if i download these from packages.ubuntu.com will it come back to bite me later | 06:57 |
| scientes | so the whole thing is basically known as gstreamer | 06:57 |
| scientes | in my world at least | 06:58 |
| sacarlson | _nedR: might try ppa for the libv4l-dev then | 06:58 |
| scientes | yeah do the build-dep after installing the ppa | 06:58 |
| scientes | if you are crazy about bleeding edge, you might also be interested in ppa:xorg-edgers | 06:59 |
| ActionParsnip | _nedR: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 06:59 |
| sacarlson | _nedR: that's what backported libs in ppa are for to prevent it from breaking your system | 06:59 |
| _nedR | ok will look for a PPA.. | 07:00 |
| _nedR | i am on oneiric ActionParsnip | 07:00 |
| almoxarife | scientes: I have edgers, its not that radical, without it I would crash opengl pretty often, since adding edgers I have not seen one issue related to graphics, I would recommend edgers to anyone | 07:00 |
| scientes | almoxarife, well, i have always felt that way about the kernel, but not quite--the latest stable by gregkh instead of torvalds | 07:01 |
| scientes | although i use torvalds | 07:01 |

| robinsmidsrod | Stormshadow: but you might try dpkg-reconfigure console-setup for something more permanent | 07:12 |

| almoxarife | robinsmidsrod: installed on the server or the client? its on the server | 07:12 |
| kjeet | what happens if i rip it out | 07:12 |
| robinsmidsrod | almoxarife: on the device you're ssh'ing into | 07:12 |
| scientes | kjeet, alot of functionality goes away | 07:12 |
| uBUXUBu | kjeet, what do u mean | 07:12 |
| almoxarife | robinsmidsrod: yea, its there | 07:12 |
| robinsmidsrod | almoxarife: your client obviously must be running an x server | 07:12 |
| _nedR | kjeet: you get gnome's entrails all over your shoes | 07:13 |
| robinsmidsrod | almoxarife: your client isn't a windows machine? | 07:13 |
| uBUXUBu | kjeet, gnome is a bit slow but is really the best overall | 07:13 |
| almoxarife | robinsmidsrod: both linux, 12.04 client, 11.10 host | 07:13 |
| scientes | yeah just use ssh -X | 07:13 |
| _nedR | faster than unity though (talking about the desktop) | 07:13 |
| robinsmidsrod | almoxarife: oh, I've never used putty in that setup, only used it on windows | 07:14 |
| almoxarife | scientes: I am using ssh -X | 07:14 |
| almoxarife | robinsmidsrod: it just takes the pain out of the command line | 07:14 |

| robinsmidsrod | Stormshadow: np | 07:17 |
| Smith_ | I'm using the nvidia drivers with my gtx 460, but it doesn' | 07:17 |
| sacarlson | robinsmidsrod: there is a gui tool to create preseed.cfg but I've never used it | 07:17 |
| Smith_ | doesn't let me move windows between screens, is there a way to do this in ubuntu | 07:17 |
| robinsmidsrod | sacarlson: do you have a name for that? | 07:17 |
| Stormshadow | i see that loadkeys uses ckbcomp ... does this use some sort of external key maps? | 07:17 |
| robinsmidsrod | Stormshadow: I usually just say "loadkeys no" and my keyboard works (norwegian layout) | 07:18 |
| sacarlson | robinsmidsrod: it's kickstart but the verison in ubuntu 10.04 didn't work | 07:18 |
| robinsmidsrod | sacarlson: kickstart and preseed are different things - same tool does both? | 07:19 |
| sacarlson | robinsmidsrod: kickstart is the gui that creates the proseed.cfg file for you | 07:19 |
| robinsmidsrod | sacarlson: well, from what I can see, it creates ks.cfg, not preseed.cfg, which are two vastly different config files | 07:20 |
| kjeet | scientes, uBUXUBu, its not really about slowness, im asking more just to understand what role it plays... linuxfromscratch seems liek overkill t figuring this out | 07:20 |
| sacarlson | robinsmidsrod: or maybe I'm confused it with something else, oh ok but it creates a config to automate install, is that what preseed.cfg does | 07:21 |
| robinsmidsrod | sacarlson: kickstart is the redhat-derived autoinstall configuration system, but preseed is the debian-installer specific one | 07:21 |
| robinsmidsrod | sacarlson: afaik, ks.cfg is not very well supported on debian | 07:21 |
| _nedR | hello..i can't find any PPAs for libv4l-dev or v4l for that matter.. what is the next course of action | 07:21 |

| ghostconn | how would i get file permissions using dolphin | 07:27 |
| robinsmidsrod | sacarlson: well, the system-config-kickstart gui program works, and it does create a config file, but I need preseed, not kickstart, because kickstart is too coarse to handle the details I want to configure..... | 07:29 |

| dalek_ | Is there any way to prevent Windows 7 destroying grub boot loader when it does a Windows update? | 08:36 |
| Squall5668 | dalek_ it doesn't iirc? are you sure it does? | 08:37 |
| scientes | Squall5668, IT DOES override the mbr | 08:37 |
| scientes | dalek_, its easy to just rewrite it afterwards, by using a liveCD, then chrooting into your installed system, and then doing grub-install /dev/foobar from the chroot | 08:38 |
| Squall5668 | ah i see, sorry, long time since i used dual booting :) | 08:38 |
| shaibn | Hello :) When I run /usr/sbin/update-grub2 ; it creates a section in /boot/grub/grub.cfg ; which is titled /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ; and has tons of kernels I don't have installed in my system. Why does it add them if they aren't installed? | 08:38 |
| scientes | dalek_, you could also backup the mbr, but that way grub wouldn't detect the windows installation and be able to boot it afterwards | 08:38 |
| dalek_ | My friend has a netbook with dual boot Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7. Occasionally, it will get an update which thinks it needs to re-write the MBR and I have to re-write the grub boot loader. I want to know, is there ANY way to prevent Windows updates from wrecking everything in the first place? | 08:39 |
| scientes | Squall5668, why its recommended to install windows first, yeah i don't run windows either | 08:39 |

| Stormshadow | hi all again...how is it possible to customise the 'ls' command colours in X xterm | 08:39 |
| scientes | dalek_, use autopatcher, which is way better than windows update | 08:39 |
| Unknown0BC | The prices on AMD seems a lot lower than for intel yet they perform very well. | 08:40 |
| Squall5668 | scientes, yes i know about installation, i just didn't recall updates overwriting the mbr | 08:40 |
| scientes | dalek_, also, MSFT are asshole, like apple ppl, XP would never rewrite mbr, except on installation | 08:40 |
| scientes | Squall5668, yeah, i thought the same | 08:40 |
| scientes | I dont think it does either | 08:40 |
| Unknown0BC | Are the changes better for problems install on AMD ? Someone said intel works better, generally speaking. | 08:40 |
| scientes | dalek_, does /boot/grub/grub.cfg use UUID's for rootfs | 08:41 |
| scientes | dalek_, like root=UUID=jdfkljadskfl | 08:41 |
| scientes | Unknown0BC, that is a bunch of FUD, everything works on both | 08:41 |

| scientes | shaibn, do they show up in "older kernels" or the main grub window? | 08:45 |
| scientes | shaibn, cause it will boot kernels/OS's on other partitions | 08:45 |
| scientes | and auto-detect them | 08:46 |
| damarquezg | ... | 08:47 |
| shaibn | scientes, oh ok .. I do have an older HDD connected to this PC .. so you're saying it recognized that old HDD and that's why they show up in the menu list? | 08:48 |
| Unknown0BC | I might get a netbook whithout a DVD-drive, so I plan on booting from a pendrive. Can the installation shrink a windows partition ? To repartition, yet keeping the original installation of windows ? | 08:48 |
| scientes | shaibn, that is likely, yes | 08:48 |
| shaibn | scientes, I noticed it will do that even if the older HDD isn't mounted... how can I have it ignore /dev/sdb1 ? | 08:49 |
| scientes | Unknown0BC, yes, the installer can shrink a windows partition, or you can also install to SD or usb driver (although this is much slower) | 08:49 |
| dalek_ | Unknown0BC, Yes, you can. | 08:49 |
| scientes | shaibn, look at the files in /etc/grub, which are compiled into /boot/grub/grub.cfg when you run update-grub | 08:49 |
| Squall5668 | Unknown0BC you should shrink windows partitions from the windows tools to lower your chances of data loss, but yes you can shrink it like scientes said | 08:49 |
| scientes | Squall5668, now gparted can move data on ntfs, so its not as limited as it use to be | 08:50 |
| dalek_ | There was no problem shrinking the win7 partition on my friend's win7 netbook. | 08:50 |

| Squall5668 | scientes i am aware of that, but im sick of loosing stuff | 08:51 |
| scientes | most imp is that you cant resize a partition if it wasn't unmounted correctly (if you unplugged the windows, instead of shutting down before install) | 08:51 |
| * Unknown0BC catches tips | 08:51 | |
| scientes | you should always backup before installs | 08:51 |

| ldiamond | I considered adding a dummy div to take up the space but it seems rather like a bad practice | 12:02 |
| rns | is there a way to save my terminal tabs? | 12:02 |
| ldiamond | The other issue is that if I add padding or margins, everything gets messed up. I.e. the 100% width now becomes 100% + whatever margin/padding I add | 12:02 |
| okanbasoglu | hi | 12:03 |
| sipior | ldiamond: i think you've mistaken this for a web development channel :-) | 12:03 |

| ldiamond | wrong window | 12:03 |
| jayar | heheh | 12:03 |
| Squall5668 | hahaha | 12:03 |
| escott | rns, in what sense? tried screen? | 12:03 |
| okanbasoglu | does anyone know if ubuntu has iptables service? | 12:04 |
| escott | Dj_FlyBy, you are probably hitting a gpt/mbr limit | 12:04 |
| sipior | okanbasoglu: yes, it does. | 12:04 |
| rns | escott, when I restart I would like to be able to open up the 15 files (each in a tab) in the terminal, without manually opening them all up. | 12:04 |
| Dj_FlyBy | escott: I didn't even know there was a limits, lol | 12:04 |
| escott | rns, you'll have to write a script to do that | 12:04 |
| jayar | i thought ufw took over for iptables in 8.04 | 12:05 |
| escott | Dj_FlyBy, there are limits on the filesystem sizes (which are tunable) but based on where you are hitting i suspect an mbr issue, and that your partition table just cant make a partition that large | 12:05 |
| escott | jayar, ufw uses iptables | 12:05 |

| Evil101 | wassup DK | 12:06 |
| jayar | althought you could still use iptables, ufw was easier or somethin | 12:06 |
| escott | jayar, iptables will never go away | 12:06 |
| Dj_FlyBy | escott: these are brand new drives used for storage... there is no distro on them | 12:07 |
| okanbasoglu | so i should restart ufw service instead ? | 12:07 |

| Evil101 | While ma dog wz doin yr dad | 12:08 |
| Mad202 | eww gay ape | 12:09 |
| escott | Dj_FlyBy, (a) check what kind of partition table you have. is it gpt or mbr/msdos? (b) you can check these limits but they are not likely the cause http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext2#File_system_limits | 12:09 |
| okanbasoglu | all i am trying to do is share my wireless connection to eth0 | 12:09 |
| Evil101 | yr dad z a gay ape??? | 12:09 |
| okanbasoglu | i found couple of iptables commands to execute | 12:09 |
| okanbasoglu | but it says i need to restart ip tables | 12:10 |
| Oer | Evil101, Mad202 , please stop the bad language from same ip. | 12:10 |
| escott | okanbasoglu, there is a ufw service which you can start but it doesn't have a running process. it just loads the iptables rules into the kernel and exits | 12:11 |
| okanbasoglu | hmm | 12:11 |
| okanbasoglu | thanks escott | 12:11 |
| Mad202 | fu | 12:11 |
| okanbasoglu | than i think its fine to just stop and start the ufw service | 12:12 |
| escott | okanbasoglu, you can run "sudo iptables -L" to print your current rule set. if its more than 3 lines your ufw rules are already loaded | 12:12 |
| Sidewinder1 | ikonia, Thanx. | 12:12 |
| okanbasoglu | yes escott it gives lots of lines but not the ones i added | 12:13 |
| escott | okanbasoglu, are you trying to add custom rules? those go in /etc/ufw/*.rules | 12:13 |
| okanbasoglu | escott, what i am trying to add is "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE" | 12:14 |
| Dj_FlyBy | escott: There was no partition table on the drives (brand new). I was attempting to this with the "disk utility", but from the way you are talking I should be doing it another way. I've never made a gpt partition table so I guess I better start there. All the other drives in the server are either 1.5TB or 2TB | 12:14 |
| escott | Dj_FlyBy, you should use a dedicated tool for partitioning, either gparted (gui) or gdisk or parted (cli) | 12:15 |
| escott | Dj_FlyBy, so that should probably be put in /etc/ufw/after.rules | 12:16 |
| escott | okanbasoglu, ^^ not Dj_FlyBy | 12:17 |
| okanbasoglu | escott, i think uwf/after.rules for me | 12:17 |
| okanbasoglu | thanks man | 12:17 |
| okanbasoglu | ill check this one | 12:17 |
| okanbasoglu | thanks a lot for your help | 12:17 |
| escott | okanbasoglu, also you need to adjust the rule to apply to the correct chain. that may be the real problem | 12:18 |

| orflon | ah ok thanks | 12:20 |
| escott | okanbasoglu, for instance I wanted to add a rule to the OUTPUT chain, but since ufw binds to that I added my rule to the ufw-before-output chain instead | 12:20 |
| Dj_FlyBy | escott: already I assume the problem is something I am unfamiliar with. With disk utility it shows the hdd as being 2.5TB but in gparted it says 2.27TB | 12:21 |
| escott | Dj_FlyBy, thats TB vs TiB | 12:21 |

| jrib | MrHeat: are you able to write to the disk now? Try: « touch ~/randomfilenamehere ». Does the file get created? What changes did you make to sudoers exactly? Did you use visudo to make them? | 13:19 |
| escott | MrHeat, the output of mount seems to contradict that theory, but i dont know what this xvda device is and maybe something weird is happening there. In any case sure its possible that editing sudoers could have been done wrong and that your error message is just wrong. i would check if you can touch (as root) a file in /var | 13:19 |

| escott | yzhd, this is why we want you to have backups :) | 13:23 |
| waxstone | MrHeat, what type of drive is /dev/xvda1 | 13:24 |
| yzhd | there is no way to unformat my dvd+rw ?? | 13:24 |
| escott | yzhd, nobody wants to be responsible for giving you instructions without being present only to find that you had the wrong checkbox clicked | 13:24 |
| MrHeat | waxstone: It's a virtual harddrive ('i m running a virtual kernel on xen) | 13:24 |
| escott | yzhd, maybe but its probably easier to reburn | 13:25 |
| waxstone | MrHeat, ok ty | 13:25 |
| yzhd | escott, could you help me out with teamviewer ? | 13:26 |
| yzhd | just buring the dvd | 13:26 |
| sacarlson | w83: from what I can see it depends on libgtk-2 and onric only goes down to libgtk-3 so have to backup version of ubuntu to run | 13:26 |
| escott | yzhd, you might want to see if there is a LUG in your area. they will have install fests and will most likely be more than happy to help you setup a backup | 13:27 |

| helo1 | Using Ubuntu 10.04 (I have observed the same behavior on a 11.10 install as well), I am unable to mount a samba share as writable via command line. When I mount it using nautilus, it works no problem. What am I doing wrong? I used this command when mounting the share: sudo mount.cifs //nas2/storage /mnt/storage -o guest,rw | 13:55 |
| Xabster | Does Ubuntu 11.10 have any feature like Windows 7's audio mixer? So that I can turn up volume of the browser and down for the VLC and up for my radio and down for my game all at the same time? | 13:57 |
| escott | Xabster, the volume control tools should allow you to do that | 13:57 |
| compdoc | helo1, hmmm, after installing samba, did you log out? | 13:58 |
| sacarlson | Xabster: normaly each application has it's own volume control seperate from the full system mixer | 13:58 |
| Xabster | sacarlson, I can't find that controller in "radio tray" | 13:58 |
| Xabster | escott, I don't see them anywhere | 13:58 |
| escott | Xabster, are you running normal ubuntu? | 13:59 |
| bastidrazor | Xabster: click the sound icon > sound settings > applications | 13:59 |
| helo1 | compdoc: Client or Server? I didn't need to install anything on the client. The server has been rebooted numerous times. | 13:59 |
| sacarlson | Xabster: you might want to install the gnome alsa mixer | 13:59 |
| Xabster | bastidrazor, I'm running GNOME, does that make a difference? | 13:59 |
| compdoc | helo1, what command do you use to mount? | 14:00 |
| Xabster | escott, I changed some stuff but I'd say it's normal Ubuntu 11.10 | 14:00 |
| Xabster | eg. I'm not running Unity | 14:00 |
| bastidrazor | Xabster: in 11.10 those steps will work. and in 10.04 as well | 14:00 |
| escott | Xabster, so if you are running gnome shell click on the volume icon and click on sound settings. each running app should have its own level control | 14:00 |
| Xabster | bastidrazor, want a screenshot that shows it's not there in mine? :) | 14:00 |
| Xabster | God damnit | 14:01 |

| mernilio | The fist of death! Thats my middle name! | 14:14 |
| fernandocueva | that's a long middle name | 14:14 |
| compdoc | helo1, try it this way: sudo mount -t cifs //10.23.87.22/storage -o username=user,password=pass /mnt/storage | 14:14 |
| mernilio | fernandocueva: maybe so.. ;-) | 14:14 |
| helo1 | fernandocueva: I have the same issue and cannot find a solution. My workaround which usually fixes it for the session is to right click it and go to properties. Then switch the orientation to left or right, and then back to top. It reloads correctly after that. | 14:15 |
| helo1 | escott: How do I find those parameters? | 14:15 |
| compdoc | helo1, and make sure /mnt/storage has permissions | 14:15 |
| helo1 | compdoc: Which permissions? The samba share is shared to guest. There is no user/pass. | 14:15 |
| NetWalk | any sysadmin using clamfs on access scanning with extended acl ?? | 14:16 |
| escott | helo1, samba doesnt support unix permissions so you need to specify who will own the files. if its uid=1000 then you need to specify that option | 14:16 |
| compdoc | helo1, the directory /mnt/storage on the target system needs to have permissions (where you are mounting it) | 14:16 |

| zykotick9 | oogabooga_: use a different USB and copy to that (you can't copy to a liveusb most likely, you'd need something with persistance for that) | 14:30 |

| escott | helo1, you don't want 755. sounds like you want 777 | 14:31 |
| oogabooga_ | zykotick9: is there absolutely no way to do it? | 14:31 |
| helo1 | escott: yes but when I 777 them everything becomes owned by root... Do I want that? | 14:31 |
| escott | helo1, you need to specify a umask in your mount command as well | 14:32 |
| nibbler__ | oogabooga_, some usb devices try to be even usable if in companies thet deploy endpoint security - so they forbit usb sticks. so these usb sticks register as cd-rom, and are not writeable by default. you need some modeswitching (u3 or how is this called) to get access to the real part of the stick, or get a proper stick | 14:32 |
| escott | gear4, more helpful if you could identify the hardware with lshw | 14:32 |

| peterklein | hi | 14:42 |
| peterklein | need help | 14:42 |
| escott | helo1, you could just run `mount` after opening in nautilus | 14:42 |
| auronandace | peterklein: then you also need to explain your problem | 14:42 |
| === smellis_ is now known as smellis | ||
| zykotick9 | auronandace: i've been watching all the mount point suggestions rolling by, and have been bitting my toungue. /mnt is technically only for "temporary" mounts - see "man hier". Subdirectories under /srv makes more sense for permanent mount points. | 14:42 |
| yetone | hello | 14:42 |
| peterklein | which problem | 14:42 |
| gear4 | escott, I got nothing for "lshw -C audio" | 14:42 |
| escott | gear4, use "sound" instead of "audio" | 14:42 |
| peterklein | which problem | 14:43 |
| Kyshtynbai | Hi everyone. When I copy files via nautils in gnome 2, when there're 2 files with the same names, nautilus doesn't suggest to rename the file I copy. How do I fix it? | 14:43 |
| gear4 | kk | 14:43 |
| peterklein | need help | 14:44 |
| craigbass1976 | I'm worried that after I copy this and wipe the original drive, I won't have any files because the link are being copied instead of the actual files. | 14:44 |
| peterklein | hi | 14:44 |
| peterklein | need help | 14:44 |
| f3ck4r | gear4: are r user been part of the plugdev group?! | 14:44 |
| nibbler__ | craigbass1976, it makes the link maybe, but it does not follow it | 14:45 |
| gear4 | f3ck4r, sorry ? >.> | 14:45 |
| jatt | hi why are the following filesystems being loaded (ubuntu 11.10)? | 14:45 |
| jatt | [22513.017929] QNX4 filesystem 0.2.3 registered. | 14:45 |
| jatt | [22513.068999] Btrfs loaded | 14:45 |
| auronandace | peterklein: to get help you need to explain what you need help with | 14:45 |
| jatt | I only use ext4 | 14:45 |
| gear4 | I don't understand .. | 14:45 |
| helo1 | escott: I guess nautilus does it some other way, which explains why the mount command is giving me so much trouble. There is no entry for the nautilus mounted version when I run the mount command | 14:45 |
| f3ck4r | gear4: you have some problem with your audio/sound right?! | 14:45 |
| peterklein | auronandace: nobody will help me!!! :( | 14:45 |
| gear4 | f3ck4r, yes | 14:46 |
| monser | hello all | 14:46 |
| escott | helo1, i thought it would appear in gvfs, but it might just be running everything through smbclient | 14:46 |
| monser | how to check what is my kernel from terminal? | 14:46 |
| escott | jatt, blacklist them if you want | 14:46 |
| auronandace | peterklein: nobody can read your mind, how can they help if you don't tell them what you need help with | 14:46 |
| jatt | escott: how? | 14:46 |
| zykotick9 | monser: "uname -a" is one way | 14:46 |
| peterklein | auronandace: i do not need help i only have a question | 14:46 |
| zykotick9 | monser: "uname -r" is correct answer | 14:47 |
| gear4 | escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/902232/ | 14:47 |
| f3ck4r | gear4: so, make sure your user are in the plugdev group | 14:47 |
| helo1 | escott: there is this entry "gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/danny/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=danny)" But it is there both with the share mounted and after ejecting it... | 14:47 |
| auronandace | peterklein: then why haven't you asked your question? | 14:47 |

| gear4 | f3ck4r, not working .. | 14:49 |

| gear4 | escott, yes, perfectly | 14:49 |
| peterklein | Pici: sure why do you think my question is not about ubuntu. i am in #ubuntu channel | 14:50 |
| escott | gear4, did you change anything in the meantime, can you identify what might have been updated? | 14:50 |
| Pici | peterklein: Because it doesn't sound like one so far. | 14:50 |
| f3ck4r | gear4: what is the exactly output | 14:50 |
| peterklein | Pici: i have to say about me much that my people do understand me and my thinkings | 14:50 |

| gear4 | f3ck4r, it opens | 14:52 |
| gear4 | f3ck4r, but I can't change the values | 14:52 |
| monser | what is the command in the terminal which will reveal what is my kernal version | 14:52 |
| peterklein | and i installed it. now he told me: there is something to upgrade | 14:52 |
| gear4 | f3ck4r, they're all red | 14:52 |

| zykotick9 | Pici: i thought so, but guess no ;) | 14:52 |
| monser | I did not see it | 14:52 |
| monser | did he? | 14:52 |
| f3ck4r | lspci then | 14:53 |
| Pici | monser: uname -r | 14:53 |
| MadsRC | Okay, this is wierd. When connecting to my NAS with smb share using Nautilus I can only squeeze out 7.8MB/s, but being on a 100mbit, that was acceptable... But now that I've mounted it through fstab instead, and everything is owned by root, I can now transfer with 12MB/s... | 14:53 |
| peterklein | a window came and told me" please upgrade to 11.10 | 14:53 |
| monser | ok Thank you | 14:53 |
| peterklein | i found a ubuntu 8.04 cd yesterday | 14:53 |
| peterklein | and i installed it. now he told me: there is something to upgrade | 14:53 |
| peterklein | a window came and told me" please upgrade to 11.10 | 14:53 |
| dell | hello everyone | 14:54 |
| LjL | peterklein: the Desktop version of 8.04 is no longer supported. | 14:54 |
| _Marcus | Hello dell | 14:54 |
| f3ck4r | dell: hi | 14:54 |
| dell | how's the morning so far? | 14:54 |
| peterklein | LjL nooo? | 14:54 |
| LjL | peterklein: you should either upgrade, or install a recent version afresh | 14:54 |
| f3ck4r | dell: nice | 14:54 |
| peterklein | LjL: oh this is shit | 14:54 |
| _Marcus | peterklein: Language please | 14:55 |
| mhsy | peterklein, it's 4 years old | 14:55 |
| peterklein | and the newer versions of ubuntu are they free? | 14:55 |
| mhsy | yes | 14:55 |
| _Marcus | peterklein: I don't think any Ubuntu cost | 14:55 |
| peterklein | ok and do they have gnome | 14:55 |
| w32stuxnet | so, if I set up bind on my server, and then set in one of its zone files ns1 to be pointed to 127.0.0.1 | 14:55 |
| w32stuxnet | will that work? | 14:55 |
| mhsy | technically yes | 14:55 |
| f3ck4r | w32stuxnet: it is | 14:55 |
| mhsy | you can install it | 14:55 |
| peterklein | ok and do they have gnome | 14:56 |
| f3ck4r | w32stuxnet: if u need some help lemme know | 14:56 |
| _Marcus | peterklein: They come with Unity, but you can remove it and install Gnome(I did this on a virtual machine) | 14:56 |
| peterklein | ok but i need the old gnome 2 | 14:56 |
| mhsy | it comes with unity by default, but you can install gnome-shell and/or gnome-panel | 14:56 |
| f3ck4r | peterklein: then install | 14:56 |
| kuwrefem | peterklein: or you can install 10.04 which comes with gnome 2.3x by default | 14:56 |
| Squall5668 | !notunity | peterklein | 14:56 |
| ubottu | peterklein: 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 | 14:56 |
| peterklein | why not 11.10 with gnome 2??? | 14:56 |
| auronandace | !gnome2 | peterklein | 14:57 |
| ubottu | peterklein: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 14:57 |
| dell | 10.04 will not be maintained much longer though will it | 14:57 |
| _Marcus | peterklein: Because they removed it and added Unity | 14:57 |
| peterklein | oh shit they stopped gnome2 ??? | 14:57 |

| w32stuxnet | thanks f3ck4r | 14:57 |
| f3ck4r | even 12.04 BETA 2 can use gnome 2 | 14:57 |
| dell | oh I thought they dropped the lts support when the new one released sorry | 14:57 |
| _Marcus | f3ck4r: That's for 12.04, I think he wants 11.10 | 14:57 |
| helo1 | escott: could I use smbclient? | 14:58 |
| f3ck4r | doesn't matter the version will work on all version | 14:58 |
| zykotick9 | f3ck4r: 12.04 has gnome2? i dont' think so | 14:58 |
| mhsy | fallback mode for gnome3 is gnome2 | 14:58 |
| gear4 | escott, still waiting .. | 14:58 |
| f3ck4r | zykotick9: im using right now | 14:58 |
| mhsy | you can select it in lightdm | 14:58 |
| zykotick9 | f3ck4r: fallback != gnome2 | 14:58 |
| mhsy | looks the same | 14:59 |
| peterklein | omg | 14:59 |
| peterklein | i saw ubuntu 11.10 uses unity | 14:59 |
| f3ck4r | zykotick9: fallback is full of bugs this one is more polite | 14:59 |
| mhsy | peterklein, are you looking for anything in particular or just the interface? | 14:59 |
| ratcheer | mhsy: It looks like Gnome2, but it is actually a shell of Gnome3 | 14:59 |
| dell | I'm glad I don't use gnome | 14:59 |
| waxstone | smells a troll | 14:59 |
| mhsy | ^ | 14:59 |
| zykotick9 | ratcheer: ahhh, thank you. | 14:59 |
| dell | waxstone: where? | 14:59 |
| peterklein | which ubuntu uses unity | 14:59 |
| escott | gear4, its hard to say when you haven't been able to tell us anything useful | 14:59 |
| f3ck4r | =p | 14:59 |
| _Marcus | peterklein: You must be hard at hearing. So let's try this in a way you can understand. YOU CAN SWITCH TO GNOME | 14:59 |
| gear4 | escott, what can I say .. | 14:59 |
| auronandace | !unity | peterklein | 14:59 |
| ubottu | peterklein: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 14:59 |
| escott | gear4, check dmesg | 14:59 |
| f3ck4r | unity is crappy | 15:00 |
| gear4 | My /dev/audio and /dev/dsp etc.etc. are all missing | 15:00 |
| f3ck4r | i don't like it | 15:00 |
| peterklein | unity is crappy | 15:00 |
| peterklein | you are right | 15:00 |
| peterklein | unity is shit | 15:00 |
| dell | f3ck4r: so switch to something else | 15:00 |
| f3ck4r | but u know u can dling and use whatever wm u want it | 15:00 |

| yzhdh | any idea _ | 15:07 |
| escott | helo1, samba (without extensions) doesn't support unix permissions. so you have to tell it what permissions to set. here we are setting the owning user/group, and specifying a permission set for files and directories | 15:07 |

| LifeMask | hey guys | 15:17 |
| shammancer | Hello everyone. Is there a way to combine separate partitions. While I installed Ubuntu on my computer I made a separate boot partition and now it is running out of space. Is there a way to recombine it with the main partition? | 15:18 |
| LifeMask | hey shammancer | 15:19 |
| LifeMask | how's it going | 15:19 |
| coderhs | how about u make a logical volume using those two physical volume | 15:19 |
| bastidrazor | shammancer: you could uninstall unused/old kernels | 15:19 |
| monser | boot partition should be around 200mb | 15:19 |
| Newb10101 | Hey guys this might be a newb question, but I've searched forums and tried many different things. I put a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 on a win 7 computer and it installed correctly. I could NOT get anything beyond 640x480 resolution. I tried installing additional drivers for my Nvidia gt430 GPU and the Nvidia X server application didn't do me any good. Now I go to boot into Ubuntu this morning, and it won't even boot. It gives me | 15:20 |
| shammancer | How can I tell which one is unused? | 15:20 |
| shammancer | are? | 15:20 |
| coderhs | shammancer: u could use, gparted but i am not sure if the files will be lost or note | 15:20 |
| bastidrazor | shammancer: normally, you're using the highest version so anything below that is old/unused | 15:20 |
| Lunar_Lamp | Newb10101: your message was cut off after "It gives me" | 15:20 |
| monser | boot partition contains very few files | 15:20 |
| monser | this is what i think | 15:20 |
| Newb10101 | it gives me a bout 3 lines of text | 15:20 |
| bastidrazor | shammancer: do you use synaptic or apt-get for package management? | 15:21 |
| shammancer | apt-get | 15:21 |
| monser | you can use gparted to resize the boot partition | 15:21 |
| monser | and add the unused space to your root or home partition | 15:21 |

| dell | I think I am going to install the new Ubuntu when the release is out and keep it till the next lts | 15:22 |
| Dj_FlyBy | Ive changed the power settings so that the PC stops turning the monitor off and going into sleep mode, but it is still happening regardless. Is there something I am missing here? | 15:22 |
| bastidrazor | shammancer: apt-get autoremove remove linux-image-*then hit tab to autocomplete but pick the lower version numbers. you can use 'uname -r' to determine your current kernel | 15:22 |
| ratcheer | dell: I wish I could do that. | 15:22 |
| dell | ratcheer: why could you not? | 15:23 |
| ratcheer | dell: Willpower. I like the bleeding edge. | 15:23 |
| ignerious | hey anyone knows how to establish a network connection in opensuse | 15:24 |
| _Marcus | ignerious: OpenSUSE? | 15:24 |
| dell | ratcheer: if you like bleeding edge you should go with a rolling release | 15:24 |
| ignerious | yes | 15:24 |
| _Marcus | ignerious: This is Ubuntu support | 15:24 |
| mkultra_ | should be "ifconfig" in terminal | 15:24 |
| mkultra_ | ifconfigs a rather generic command | 15:25 |
| ignerious | where did i get information about this | 15:25 |
| mkultra_ | man ifconfig for the manual | 15:25 |
| ratcheer | dell: I just gave up on my test installations of Arch and Sabayon. Too much trouble to keep up. | 15:25 |
| _Marcus | ignerious: Try OpenSUSE's IRC room | 15:25 |
| ratcheer | I had been using Arch for 6 months... | 15:25 |
| mkultra_ | alt + f2 = terminal alt + f7 or f8 is your os | 15:25 |
| ignerious | ok | 15:25 |
| dell | ratcheer: I run arch on my other desktop and laptop | 15:25 |
| ratcheer | dell: I liked Arch, but it was like pulling teeth. | 15:26 |
| _Marcus | ignerious: On Freenode it's #SUSE | 15:26 |
| dell | ratcheer: nah, just have to stay on top of it | 15:26 |
| _Marcus | ignerious: On irc.opensuse.org it's #openSUSE | 15:26 |
| Newb10101 | Lunar_lamp did you read what I typed? | 15:26 |
| sheperson | is it OK if I use the same /home partition for different Linux distros? (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) | 15:26 |
| dell | ratcheer: cost of being on the edge | 15:26 |
| Dj_FlyBy | Ive changed the power settings so that the PC stops turning the monitor off and going into sleep mode, but it is still happening regardless. Is there something I am missing here? | 15:27 |
| zykotick9 | sheperson: you could try - expect issues | 15:27 |
| dell | sheperson: you should be fine | 15:27 |
| sheperson | zykotick9, what kind of issues? | 15:27 |
| zykotick9 | sheperson: i couldn't say (it's not a good idea) | 15:27 |
| mkultra_ | config files are stored in home | 15:27 |
| ratcheer | dell: Ubuntu is a happy medium. | 15:27 |
| mkultra_ | just make another user | 15:27 |
| mkultra_ | name your user ted instead of ned in fedora | 15:27 |
| Lunar_Lamp | Newb10101: you sent a single line of text, about arp filtering, which is not likely to be realted to any issues. Does the system just freeze there, or reboot etc? | 15:27 |
| shammancer | Awesome I removed the ones I did not need thanks guys | 15:27 |
| dell | ratcheer: yeah it just has the best support | 15:28 |
| sheperson | mkultra_, nice idea! | 15:28 |
| mkultra_ | yeah that will clear up issues | 15:28 |
| mkultra_ | you should be able to share a vsftpd on both os's too | 15:28 |
| thwest | on 10.04, how do i upgrade to python 2.7? I did apt-get update, but install doesnt want to upgrade it | 15:28 |
| sheperson | mkultra_, are you talking to me? | 15:29 |
| mkultra_ | yeah | 15:29 |
| Lunar_Lamp | Newb10101: you might want to try booting with an older kernel, in case the current one is causing issues. http://askubuntu.com/questions/82140/how-can-i-boot-ubuntu-11-10-with-an-old-kernel-version (scroll down for an explanation of how to do this while it's booting) | 15:29 |
| sheperson | why I should I share a vsftpd? | 15:29 |
| Newb10101 | Lunar_lamp that was an example of one of the lines it gives. here I took a picture. http://imgur.com/M7LfM It just freezes right there, I have to power it down afterwords | 15:29 |
| sheperson | mkultra_, why I should I share a vsftpd? | 15:30 |
| zykotick9 | sheperson: i'd suggest you be very carefull with info from anyone recommending FTP anything. FTP SHOULD DIE. | 15:30 |
| mkultra_ | make the node a network share? | 15:30 |
| mkultra_ | using ftp instead of sshfs | 15:30 |
| karzan | some times my mouse stop working so i have to restart to fix it | 15:30 |
| mkultra_ | or nfs | 15:30 |
| sheperson | mkultra_, I got it | 15:30 |

| PeaceMaker | Is it possible to backup the system disk of a live system? | 15:39 |
| It_2927 | I use xfce and have modified the system alot so i'll probably be waiting till the official release of 12.04 | 15:39 |
| rodhash | Guys... How can I mount the VGs / FS located in other partition? I have a dual boot with ubuntu and red hat... any idea pls? | 15:40 |
| It_2927 | hmm | 15:40 |
| It_2927 | can you be a little more specific | 15:40 |
| It_2927 | ? | 15:40 |
| wylde | !info incron | Shinobi_ | 15:40 |

| helo1 | If I have ssh access to an Ubuntu server flavor, is there a way to install a gui and launch it remotely (vnc?)? | 15:40 |
| zykotick9 | rodhash: what is VGs? | 15:40 |
| PeaceMaker | Or any other operating systems offer this feature, snapshot backup of live system ? | 15:40 |
| rodhash | VG == Volume Group | 15:40 |
| It_2927 | helo1 yes | 15:41 |
| zykotick9 | rodhash: ahhh LVM - something i know nothing about ;) sorry to bother ya. | 15:41 |
| tomvolek | hi, a newbie , how can i find my dns server ? ifconfig doesnt show it | 15:41 |
| MonkeyDust | helo1 I'm on a remote debian pc as we speak, controlled with ubuntu | 15:41 |
| It_2927 | but you will need to get the software | 15:41 |
| It_2927 | to connect | 15:41 |
| It_2927 | and set it up | 15:41 |
| It_2927 | but im pretty sure its possible by way of vnc | 15:41 |
| yzhd | device for boot loader installation, which one shall I select_ | 15:41 |
| zykotick9 | !enter | It_2927 | 15:41 |
| ubottu | It_2927: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 15:41 |
| MonkeyDust | helo1 ssh to the remote pc and type apt-get install whatever-the-debian-gui-is-named | 15:42 |
| yzhd | dev sda dev sda1 dv sd2 _ | 15:42 |
| It_2927 | Okay, i will remember that in the future, ubottu. | 15:42 |
| Shinobi_ | hubertus: tx | 15:42 |
| PeaceMaker | helo1, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 15:42 |
| yzhd | anyone __ | 15:42 |
| helo1 | After installing a GUI with apt-get, how can I launch a remote session to it? | 15:43 |
| Shinobi_ | wylde: Ubottu: I looked into incron, but from what I understand, it cannot monitor a directory structure, just a directory. Is this correct? | 15:43 |
| It_2927 | or - sudo bash then apt-get install (program) | 15:43 |
| zykotick9 | It_2927: "sudo bash" is a terrible suggestion - just sayin' | 15:43 |
| mbeierl | tomaw, cat /etc/resolv.conf | 15:43 |
| MonkeyDust | helo1 type with gnome-panel and nautilus | 15:43 |
| MonkeyDust | helo1 with gnome-panel and nautilus | 15:43 |
| It_2927 | It sets you as root via. terminal | 15:43 |
| Xeli | Hey, I've added an ftp share via nautilus, where is this share mounted on my filesystem? if it is at all | 15:44 |
| MonkeyDust | Xeli type mount to find out | 15:44 |
| PeaceMaker | helo1, an easy way is to use freenx | 15:44 |
| zykotick9 | Xeli: you probably won't find it :( good luck. | 15:44 |
| wylde | Shinobi_: with the proper settings it can, I believe. It may require Inotify as well. | 15:44 |
| sheenzz | hey i tryed to updated my pc and a error came up saying memory something something | 15:44 |
| It_2927 | In my mind, thats incredibly useful due to the fact you dont have to keep typing sudo and your password alot of times... | 15:44 |
| Xeli | MonkeyDust: ah good one, thanks | 15:45 |
| zykotick9 | It_2927: you are wrong. "sudo -i" if you REALLY need a root terminal | 15:45 |
| PeaceMaker | or reboot then start vnc server. | 15:45 |
| Xeli | zykotick9: its on ~/.gvfs :) | 15:45 |
| hubertus_ | Xeli: should be in ~/.gvfs | 15:45 |
| zykotick9 | Xeli: ahh, gvfs wasn't installed be default for a while - i missed it greatly | 15:45 |
| PeaceMaker | Is it possible to backup the system disk of a live system? Or any other operating systems offer this feature, snapshot backup of a live system? | 15:45 |
| It_2927 | lmao it does the exact same thing | 15:45 |
| It_2927 | root@(hostname) | 15:46 |
| zykotick9 | It_2927: you are wrong. | 15:46 |
| zykotick9 | !wfm > It_2927 | 15:46 |

| Dj_FlyBy | Ive changed the power settings so that the PC stops turning the monitor off and going into sleep mode, but it is still happening regardless. Is there something I am missing here? | 15:48 |
| yzhd | guys, is swap recommened _ | 15:49 |
| bastidrazor | Dj_FlyBy: there are two places you have to set that. oddly enough. power settings and.. let me find it | 15:49 |
| ruud_ | Ik heb al een paar dagen dat het netwerk slecht is bij jullie, kan dat want ik heb 82% bereik | 15:49 |
| zykotick9 | bastidrazor: and screensaver i believe? | 15:49 |
| MonkeyDust | ruud_ verkeerd kannal, type /j #ubuntu-nl | 15:50 |
| bastidrazor | wait.. i'm on 12.04 and the menus have chagned a bit. :| | 15:50 |
| It_2927 | what do they look like bastidrazor? | 15:50 |
| roasted | Question - is there a way to get my programs to list a-z in the unity menu? | 15:51 |
| bastidrazor | Dj_FlyBy: mine shows under Brightness and Lock in 12.04.. its something similiar in 11.10 | 15:51 |
| Xabster | Does IDEA have a Gui builder for swing? | 15:51 |
| MonkeyDust | Xabster what's IDEA exactly? | 15:52 |
| MonkeyDust | and swing? | 15:52 |
| Xabster | wrong channel, sorry | 15:52 |
| hubertus_ | Xabster: yes it has | 15:53 |
| linuxnewb | GUYS, IM GOING TO INSTALL UBUNTU. HOW MUCH SWAP SHOULD I HAVE | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | caps | 15:53 |
| bastidrazor | linuxnewb: equal what RAM you have. | 15:53 |
| linuxnewb | sorry | 15:53 |
| linuxnewb | how much swap should i have | 15:53 |
| zykotick9 | linuxnewb: a little more then RAM if you want to use hibernate | 15:54 |
| linuxnewb | I have 3gb ram | 15:54 |
| linuxnewb | would 5 gb swap be to much | 15:54 |
| hubertus_ | once it was said to use double the ram size for swap iirc | 15:55 |
| linuxnewb | so i need 6 gb swap | 15:55 |
| zykotick9 | hubertus_: that's a bit of an old rule at this point | 15:56 |
| hubertus_ | but i believe it was before we had gigs of ram - but anyway more than ram for hibernate | 15:56 |
| linuxnewb | ok | 15:56 |
| linuxnewb | how much would you recommend | 15:57 |
| linuxnewb | i have 3 gb ram | 15:57 |
| linuxnewb | would 5 gb ram swap be ok | 15:57 |
| NewWorld | linuxnewb: Maybe you should have no swap since you have so much RAM. | 15:57 |
| zykotick9 | linuxnewb: we can't really say for sure (depends what you are doing). but most likely yes. | 15:57 |
| zykotick9 | NewWorld: no swap is a BAD idea - makes your system slower | 15:58 |
| linuxnewb | Im going to compile cm7 build android roms | 15:58 |
| linuxnewb | 3 gb swap would be enough | 15:58 |
| linuxnewb | _ | 15:58 |
| NewWorld | zykotick9: How's that? I have had no swap and only 2GB of RAM for 2 years now. What's the point of swap if the RAM never goes over capacity? | 15:58 |
| linuxnewb | fine... Im going for 2gb swap | 15:59 |
| linuxnewb | thanks guys | 15:59 |
| MonkeyDust | me too, i've disabled swap | 15:59 |
| === puneetgoyal_ is now known as puneetgoyal | ||
| linuxnewb | does swap make the pc slower _ | 15:59 |
| sipior | NewWorld: holding memory reservations that are unallocated. | 15:59 |
| zykotick9 | linuxnewb: no, faster. | 15:59 |
| linuxnewb | ok | 15:59 |
| linuxnewb | do you think 2 gb is enough | 15:59 |
| TorbenBeta | Is there a command which shows the cpu usage of a program like system monitor? | 16:00 |
| bastidrazor | linuxnewb: do 5gb and be done with it. you're going in circles | 16:00 |
| helo1 | top | 16:00 |
| NewWorld | sipior: What reserves unallocated memory? My RAM rarely goes above 1GB used | 16:00 |
| helo1 | TorbenBeta: top | 16:00 |
| TorbenBeta | Thanks | 16:00 |
| MonkeyDust | TorbenBeta or htop | 16:00 |
| zykotick9 | TorbenBeta: "top" by default. "htop" is an improved version | 16:00 |
| helo1 | What does htop add to top | 16:01 |
| TorbenBeta | zykotick9, should I install htop? Is it much better than top? | 16:01 |
| NewWorld | TorbenBeta: yes much much better | 16:01 |
| zykotick9 | TorbenBeta: htop is IMO much better yes | 16:01 |
| a-saint | hello guys is blackbuntu supported on this channel | 16:01 |
| MonkeyDust | "Htop is an ncursed-based process viewer similar to top, but it allows one to scroll the list vertically and horizontally to see all processes and their full command lines." | 16:02 |
| sipior | NewWorld: most applications reserve more memory than they eventually require. the swap is not used, in the sense that data is written to disk. it is used to move empty reservations out of memory so that they do not interfere with other applications. | 16:02 |
| Dr_willis | a-saint, no. | 16:02 |
| zykotick9 | a-saint: no, only official releases | 16:02 |
| helo1 | Awesome. | 16:02 |
| === Mike_ is now known as Guest29187 | ||

| hiptobecubic | In 10.04 11.04 or 11.10 or 12.04 both kubuntu and ubuntu: After choosing a language during install, the keyboard stops working. It works to choose the language and then stops. | 16:05 |
| Falcon | Can anyone help with No sound issue.pc connected with HDMI. XBMCbuntu 11? can provide more details if you need reg my HW. | 16:06 |
| hiptobecubic | It's a usb keyboard. | 16:06 |
| moodboom | hey all - anyone boot up ubuntu on a macbook pro? trying to set up my hybrid MBR and it's killing me :P | 16:06 |
| Dr_willis | Falcon, many hdmi audio outs dont have supported drivers. id suggest checking the askubuntu.com site for your specific hardeare.. and we really dont support xbmcubuntu here. | 16:07 |
| swex | hiptobecubic, try some of this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 16:07 |
| hiptobecubic | swex, thanks. | 16:07 |

| lotuspsychje | is there a website about LAMP security? | 16:09 |
| zhxk | hello, how to set locale LC_ALL=C? | 16:09 |
| moodboom | I'm using rEFInd, a fork of rEFIt. i really don't understand why refind shows only mac os on the boot screen. i'm only seeing Mac OS but i have ubuntu and windows partitions too | 16:10 |
| zhxk | hello, how to set locale on cli, let LC_ALL=C? | 16:10 |
| liang | who knows, where g_hash_table_lookup locates? | 16:12 |
| lotuspsychje | is a LAMP server protected against sqlinjection? | 16:12 |
| hiptobecubic | Ok, apparently the keyboard is PS/2, not usb | 16:12 |
| species | lotuspsychje: sql injections are something for the programmer to worry about | 16:12 |
| === PatrickC_Away is now known as PatrickC | ||
| lotuspsychje | species: the user installing a server cannot worry about security? | 16:13 |
| species | lotuspsychje: they can, but not in the case of sql injections | 16:13 |
| species | those are not a flaw in the server, they are a flaw in the code you write | 16:13 |
| species | the SQL interpreter cannot distinguish between injected code and intended code | 16:14 |
| hiptobecubic | The keyboard works at only the first page, when choosing a language. Then it stops | 16:14 |
| fartofagony | what texte editor is good to save text in asm format? | 16:14 |
| lotuspsychje | species: ah, so even if you protect yourself, a flaw could be injected? | 16:14 |
| species | lotuspsychje: read this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection#Technical_Implementations | 16:14 |
| lotuspsychje | species: tnx lemme read | 16:14 |
| species | lotuspsychje: you need to understand how it works because you seem to have misconceptions | 16:15 |
| hiptobecubic | Ok, i'm getting more information over the phone.... | 16:15 |
| species | its not like a buffer overflow attack where the server itself is at fault | 16:15 |
| Vinno | how do you list a directory in terminal?? | 16:15 |
| hiptobecubic | Vinno, ls | 16:15 |
| a-saint | Dr_willis zykotick9 I see because joining blackbuntu channel had only me and another user i thought ubuntu might be the channel support | 16:15 |
| Vinno | thanks | 16:15 |
| Zaitzev | how can i logout of ubuntu using terminal, via ssh? system has froze, AGAIN. | 16:16 |
| zykotick9 | a-saint: perhaps there isn't much in the way of support for blackbuntu? wouldn't surprise me - level of support should be one factor in your choice of distros. | 16:16 |
| hiptobecubic | Zaitzev, "sudo shutdown -R now" | 16:16 |
| Zaitzev | it's getting ridiculous | 16:16 |
| Zaitzev | i dont want to shut down though. | 16:17 |
| hiptobecubic | APPARENTLY, after choosing a language it drops to tty, leaves a blinking cursor in the upper left and is totally unresponsive | 16:17 |
| terry420 | can any one can help me install ubuntu 10.04lts on lifebook LH531 ? | 16:17 |
| hiptobecubic | Zaitzev, if i recall, perhaps... "sudo /etc/rc.inti/gdm stop" | 16:17 |
| moodboom | is anybody even using a macbook? | 16:17 |
| a-saint | zykotick9, right now am on ubuntu is there any pentesting tool package that is similar for blackbuntu I might install or any ubuntu supported pentesting release | 16:18 |
| fartofagony | what texte editor is good to save text in asm format? | 16:18 |
| zykotick9 | a-saint: sorry, i have no idea. not my area of expertise ;) | 16:18 |
| fartofagony | notepad++ is very good in windows, anyone know what is very good in linux? | 16:18 |
| Aciid | fartofagony: sublime text 2 | 16:18 |
| Zaitzev | kinda difficult to do anything via ssh on my iphone lol | 16:19 |
| lotuspsychje | species: interesting, but would a LAMP server be safe or not to use? | 16:19 |
| a-saint | Zaitzev, you should get n900 | 16:19 |
| fartofagony | Aciid: thanks. have to researsch just to make sure its not some random guy trolling | 16:19 |
| species | lotuspsychje: SQL injections are a fundamental weakness of string based query systems and it is impossible to secure a server against them. | 16:20 |
| Aciid | fartofagony: http://www.sublimetext.com/ | 16:20 |
| Xabster | species, it is? | 16:20 |
| Aciid | this editor is serious biz | 16:20 |
| Zaitzev | what i should get is a linux distro that isn't causing constant problems every single day. | 16:20 |
| bastidrazor | hiptobecubic: since 10.04 'service' is in use. sudo service gdm stop for example | 16:20 |
| species | the server only ever recieves a string, it doesnt know which parts are OK and which are injected. | 16:20 |
| iceman84x | hi all | 16:20 |
| lotuspsychje | species: lets say you iptable secure a server it still possible to inject? | 16:21 |
| species | lotuspsychje: yes | 16:21 |
| Xabster | Inject is a bad term here | 16:21 |
| Xabster | you're not injecting into anything | 16:21 |
| Xabster | you're just running a query | 16:21 |
| species | if you write a dodgy query string that is vulnerable to injections, the server has no way of knowing | 16:21 |
| Glacee | Use Mongodb instead :0 | 16:21 |
| lotuspsychje | species: no wonder the whole world is getting hacked on injections | 16:21 |
| species | lotuspsychje: yep | 16:22 |
| Xabster | I don't understand your problems lotuspsychje/species | 16:22 |
| hubertus_ | lotuspsychje: GreenSQL could be something to look at | 16:22 |
| lotuspsychje | species: any sql package without flaw codes in it? | 16:22 |
| Xabster | You can just escape your input...? isn't that enough? | 16:22 |
| species | Xabster: he is asking how to secure a LAMP server against injections and im trying to tell him he needs to secure his own code | 16:22 |
| Xabster | OH | 16:22 |
| Xabster | right, yeah, securing the server doesn't make much sense | 16:23 |
| species | but he keeps coming back to the server itself with more questions | 16:23 |
| species | its like trying to secure your door against the wrong person turning the key | 16:23 |
| lotuspsychje | ok ok i got it | 16:23 |
| bastidrazor | great analogy. | 16:23 |
| species | lotuspsychje: a good practice is to wrap all your queries in a function that takes the paramaters and forms a query string internally, preferably using an API designed for that purpose | 16:25 |
| species | never write a query string directly | 16:25 |
| a-saint | someone knows a penetration testing distro supported by ubuntu | 16:26 |
| species | but this is going beyond the scope of this channel now | 16:26 |
| lotuspsychje | species: isnt there like a package to protect the code? | 16:26 |
| species | lotuspsychje: an SQL injection isnt done by modifying your code, its done by putting things into data that the user can enter | 16:26 |
| species | lotuspsychje: a classic example is a login form | 16:26 |
| lotuspsychje | brb | 16:27 |
| species | use the username of whoever you want to hack and set the password to an injection string such as those shown on the wiki page | 16:27 |
| madurax86 | hello is net_prio cgroup support is in ubuntu? | 16:27 |
| Zaitzev | I've learned one thing, and that is that if a program, for example XBMC, or Minecraft (Java), freezes up, it freezes completely. Killing the process does not help at all, I have to restart the PC. | 16:28 |
| UnluckyUser324 | Got a HUGE problem. Power supply went down and now when i boot up i get "init not found" and nothing happens. Iwe changed the powersupply, systems works. But how do i fix my hd ? | 16:28 |
| hiptobecubic | Zaitzev, depends on why it's freezing. I can't say I've had that problem. | 16:28 |
| species | you need to kill it properly using top | 16:28 |
| species | just closing the window doesnt always kill it, especially if its hung | 16:29 |
| Zaitzev | hiptobecubic: I have absolutely no idea what's happening. It's random, happens regardless of whether I'm interacting at the moment, or doing nothing. | 16:29 |
| madurax86 | Zaitzev: if the whole system freezes and doesnt respond to alt+b+sysrq(prnt scr) then u have a hardware problem | 16:29 |
| escott | Zaitzev, you could xkill it and disconnect it from the X server | 16:30 |
| Zaitzev | madurax86: I can SSH in and stuff. Like I did just moments ago asking about logging out via ssh. | 16:30 |
| Zaitzev | Which of course didn't work at all. | 16:30 |
| Zaitzev | escott: What, xkill? | 16:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Zaitzev with xkill the mousepointer turns into a process killing pointer | 16:31 |
| Zaitzev | :o | 16:31 |
| madurax86 | Zaitzev: then its a minor problem of software, your kernel is up and a good amount of ubuntu is running, only the screen has frozen;might be due to drivers for xorg or xorg itself..may be you are better off with a fresh install | 16:31 |
| Zaitzev | madurax86: this IS a fresh install, just days old. | 16:31 |
| madurax86 | Zaitzev: is this 12.04? :P its still on testing | 16:32 |
| escott | Zaitzev, it doesn't directly do anything to kill the process, just severs the connection to the X server. most programs are unable to handle that and segfault shortly thereafter | 16:32 |
| Zaitzev | madurax86: No it's 11.10 | 16:32 |
| lotuspsychje | species: ok mate tnx for info | 16:32 |
| Zaitzev | escott: sounds dangerous >:) | 16:32 |
| madurax86 | Zaitzev: I see, how often and when does it freeze, how can you reproduce a freeze? | 16:33 |
| Zaitzev | madurax86: Can't really reproduce. It happens randomly, and it happens whether I'm interacting at the moment (moving the mouse, clicking mouse or keyboard), or simply looking at the program. | 16:33 |
| escott | UnluckyUser324, you might need to boot a livecd and run fsck on the filesystems | 16:34 |
| madurax86 | Zaitzev: is this a notebook? | 16:34 |
| Zaitzev | no, desktop | 16:34 |
| UnluckyUser324 | escott: Will a permenent hd do ? Im running lastest ubuntu on it. Could just pop in the bad hd and run any tools from my new hd | 16:35 |
| madurax86 | Zaitzev: can you post the dmesg after a freeze? | 16:35 |
| souza | Hello folks. | 16:35 |
| UnluckyUser324 | escott: And thx so much for answering, it means the worold | 16:35 |
| === kwehfkwjer is now known as samuel | ||
| escott | UnluckyUser324, your could try, you would have to switch your boot devices in the bios | 16:35 |
| Zaitzev | madurax86: since the freeze happened just moments ago, can I somehow find out where in dmesg that happened? | 16:35 |
| UnluckyUser324 | escott: Sure np. ubuntu have a disctool as well, might just try that as well. got the commands you mentioned under control | 16:36 |
| escott | !sysrq | Zaitzev (don't know if you have been sent this) | 16:36 |
| ubottu | Zaitzev (don't know if you have been sent this): In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 16:36 |
| souza | i'm having a problem in ubuntu i cannot download some packages, it prints a stack with several problems like this >> " Err http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main libxslt1.1 amd64 1.1.26-8ubuntu1 Temporary failure resolving 'br.archive.ubuntu.com'" | 16:36 |
| Zaitzev | escott: I'm getting really tired of rebooting the system every time something freezes. I've rebooted 4 times today alone. | 16:37 |
| madurax86 | Zaitzev: well depends if you restarted the dmesg just shows u the msgs for the current boot not the prior then u should see /var/log/kern.log | 16:37 |
| xangua | souza: pangolin is not supported here | 16:37 |
| MonkeyDust | souza precise is in development and not ready yet, type /j #ubuntu+1 for support | 16:37 |
| a-saint | someone knows a penetration testing distr supported by ubuntu | 16:37 |
| escott | Zaitzev, that might ensure that your kernel ring buffer if flushed to the dmesg.log if you cannot access it otherwise | 16:37 |
| souza | Ok, thanks guys | 16:37 |
| a-saint | madurax86, isn't this a vga driver issue | 16:38 |
| lotuspsychje | a-saint: backtrack has an ubuntu version | 16:38 |
| madurax86 | a-saint: it can be, logs will explain i guess | 16:38 |
| mukti | Is there a site where I can search packages that are available? I know I can use apt-cache search, but I was looking for a web based search | 16:38 |
| escott | mukti, packages.ubuntu.com | 16:38 |
| mukti | escott: thanks | 16:39 |
| hubertus_ | a-saint: blackbuntu | 16:39 |
| madurax86 | can any one tell me netprio cgroup support is compiled in ubuntu 12.04? | 16:39 |
| a-saint | lotuspsychje, I have backtrack r2 and is ubuntu based i know but I want something supported by Ubuntu as official ubuntu | 16:39 |
| mobiusstriper | hi all, is there such an option as "install as a dependencies" in aptitude/apt-get? | 16:39 |
| MonkeyDust | mukti try appnr.com | 16:39 |
| a-saint | hubertus_, I can't even download the torrent from there website | 16:40 |
| lotuspsychje | !precise | madurax86 | 16:40 |
| ubottu | madurax86: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 16:40 |
| nuiok | hey | 16:40 |
| Zaitzev | I bet if I reinstall Ubuntu, it'll install random different programs then too. | 16:40 |
| nuiok | Guys i'm a newbie to the entire backtrack/linux world can anyone be my mentor :$ | 16:41 |
| nuiok | ? | 16:41 |
| madurax86 | lotuspsychje: :) | 16:41 |
| xangua | nuiok: cacktrack is not supported here | 16:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Zaitzev not "random" | 16:41 |
| xangua | backtrack* | 16:41 |
| hubertus_ | a-saint: and the .iso from sf ? | 16:41 |
| chrislsp | YouTube can be you mentor | 16:41 |
| fartofagony | how do you save text with gedit in other formats? making the extension .asm doesnt work | 16:41 |
| fartofagony | anyone? | 16:41 |
| nuiok | Youtube is time consuming , I rather someone teaching one on one just the basics | 16:42 |
| Zaitzev | MonkeyDust: Well, what is it then? Because I started using Ubuntu a little over a month ago, and I have (re)installed Ubuntu twice since then. And all 3 times there has been differences in what got installed. WITHOUT my explicit input/choice | 16:42 |
| cuddylier | I have a mysql server on Ubuntu, When I use the database locally I get this error "Access denied for user 'ryan'@'@'localhost' | 16:42 |
| a-saint | hubertus_, isn't this a 64bit | 16:42 |
| cuddylier | Why it it not giving permission to what I want to use it with? | 16:42 |
| xangua | nuiok: i don't thin someone will take you and teach you personally here | 16:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Zaitzev idd, that sounds strange | 16:42 |
| nuiok | I realize :/ | 16:43 |
| chrislsp | My dear friend, one on one is the king of relationship between you and the pc.. anything else will drive you away from what you wanna accomplish with backtrack ;) | 16:43 |
| fartofagony | how do you save text with gedit in other formats? making the extension .asm doesnt work | 16:43 |
| fartofagony | anyone? | 16:43 |
| cuddylier | I have a mysql server on Ubuntu, When I use the database locally I get this error "Access denied for user 'ryan'@'@'localhost' | 16:43 |
| Zaitzev | MonkeyDust: That plus the fact that things like Flash doesn't work correctly, I can't get the microphone working (even tried with alsamixer), and a bunch of other minor annoyances. | 16:43 |
| nuiok | well @xangua can you atleast tell me how to move around in the terminal of backtrack? | 16:44 |
| MonkeyDust | Zaitzev everything works fine here, so ubuntu is not to blame | 16:44 |
| xangua | nuiok: i said again, backtrack is not supported here, this is Ubuntu support | 16:44 |
| nuiok | oh | 16:44 |
| hubertus_ | a-saint: i see . but the KDE edition seems to be 32bit - strange %-) | 16:44 |
| nuiok | Can i get the irc name of a backchat chatroom? | 16:44 |
| Zaitzev | MonkeyDust: It's weird how it turns out slightly different, and the hardware is not the issue, everything works fine in Windows. | 16:44 |
| xangua | !backtrack | nuiok | 16:44 |
| ubottu | nuiok: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 16:44 |
| hubertus_ | a-saint: but does it matter ? | 16:44 |
| cuddylier | I have a mysql server on Ubuntu, When I use the database locally I get this error "Access denied for user 'ryan'@'@'localhost' | 16:44 |
| a-saint | hubertus_, I don't use KDE | 16:45 |

| fartofagony | anyone? | 16:45 |
| a-saint | hubertus_, I don't have 64bit computer / laptop for now | 16:45 |
| Pici | fartofagony: What do you mean by "it doesn't work" what happens instead? | 16:45 |
| Xabster | cuddylier, what does that tell you? | 16:46 |
| johnjacobjinger | quick question about LAMP... i want to install osTicket which according to http://78.129.251.153/staff-blog/item/8-osticket-installation-on-ubuntu-1004-lts requires LAMP | 16:48 |
| a-saint | chrislsp I have backtrack on my sda and want an another pen test dist for my xternal SD | 16:48 |
| johnjacobjinger | i already have Apache installed... if i install lamp-server will that conflict with my apache | 16:48 |
| cuddylier | I have a mysql server on Ubuntu, When I use the database locally I get this error "Access denied for user 'ryan'@'@'localhost' | 16:50 |
| cuddylier | Error is on the right >>>> | 16:50 |
| johnjacobjinger | cuddylier you need to edit the mysql config to allow that user | 16:50 |
| fartofagony | how do you save text with gedit in other formats? making the extension .asm doesnt work | 16:50 |
| fartofagony | anyone? | 16:50 |
| cuddylier | How? | 16:50 |
| cuddylier | Where is the config file? | 16:50 |
| cuddylier | Or what is the command? | 16:51 |
| Pici | johnjacobjinger: LAMP is just an acronym for a set of server applications. If you already have Apache installed, then you just need php and mysql. The lamp-server task will not override your apache install (assuming that you used our repositories to install apache) | 16:51 |
| Pici | fartofagony: You never answered my question. | 16:51 |
| cuddylier | And once I type the command what do I type to make sure it picks up the changes? | 16:51 |
| johnjacobjinger | Pici i did i was just making sure Insall lamp wouldnt mess it up | 16:51 |

| cuddylier | What is the mysql channel? | 16:55 |
| Pici | cuddylier: #mysql, oddly enough | 16:55 |
| chrislsp | !mysql | 16:55 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 16:55 |

| chrislsp | m3xia I'm not sure if theres a solution to that, I had tha same problem and didn't find anything Its just how ubuntu works i guess | 16:58 |

| ctusch | lt_2927: seems to be in alpha state | 17:01 |
| escott | !minimal | ctusch | 17:01 |
| ubottu | ctusch: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 17:01 |
| johnjacobjinger | :-\ | 17:01 |
| It_2927 | m3xia, if you can't find your answer in this irc channel, why not check ubuntu forums? | 17:01 |

| monser | what is the difference | 17:03 |
| It_2927 | Maybe you should try ubuntu with a different desktop enviroment that takes up less space.. | 17:04 |
| monser | what is pae | 17:04 |
| === Guest99402 is now known as johnjacobjinger | ||
| MonkeyDust | !pae | 17:04 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 17:04 |
| monser | !pae | 17:04 |
| auronandace | monser: physical address extension, | 17:04 |
| Amoz | !pae | monser | 17:04 |
| ubottu | monser: please see above | 17:04 |
| auronandace | monser: lets 32bit use more than 4gb of ram | 17:04 |
| monser | ok | 17:04 |
| ctusch | lt_2927 is this easy to change? | 17:05 |
| monser | i see | 17:05 |
| monser | generic can only use up to 4gb of ram, pae more | 17:05 |
| It_2927 | ctusch there are pre-configured ones | 17:05 |
| It_2927 | such as Lubuntu | 17:05 |
| It_2927 | and Xubuntu | 17:05 |
| It_2927 | these may be better options, but you could always try a lighter distro? | 17:05 |
| auronandace | monser: well, 3.2gb to be precise but yes | 17:05 |
| monser | auronandace: thank you | 17:06 |
| auronandace | monser: usually it would be better to use 64bit than 32bit with pae | 17:06 |

| sacarlson | tyler_d: and with virtualbox you can experment with a raid of 6 disk even if you only have 1 disk | 17:28 |
| nooblikespear | tyler_d, well I haven't tried the Xubuntu session, but I don't think I ever installed it. I just installed Xfce and Xubuntu is on the list | 17:29 |

| ejv | escott: im a gentoo user, i'd just use eselect to get the job done ;) | 17:46 |
| auronandace | monser: whats wrong with: man nameofpage? | 17:46 |
| sacarlson | SubD: see man cp | 17:46 |
| escott | ejv, sorry meant to tell monser to change /etc/alternatives/pager but sent to you instead | 17:46 |
| SubD | sacarlson ejv what's the different of using -a or -R? | 17:46 |
| ejv | i thinkg using update-alternatives is the appropriate interface | 17:47 |
| It_2927 | im giving 10 gb ext 4 to backtrack | 17:47 |
| ejv | s/thinkg/think/ | 17:47 |
| escott | SubD, permissions get preserved with -a | 17:47 |
| ejv | !backtrack | It_2927 | 17:47 |
| ubottu | It_2927: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 17:47 |
| SubD | ah ok thanks escott | 17:47 |
| sacarlson | SubD: -a is arcive will save recusive the user:group and permisions ; -R will go recursive but not sure what it saves in permisions | 17:48 |
| Dj_FlyBy | escott: it's all the StorageVault drives... as for the UUID it came from 'sudo blkid' | 17:48 |
| It_2927 | ejv: Thank you. | 17:48 |
| FacedeProut | escott, it worked! thank you bro! | 17:49 |
| It_2927 | well, time for me to get going | 17:49 |
| SubD | sacarlson so "sudo cp /media/1tb/shows /media/2tb -a" should do the job? | 17:49 |
| It_2927 | thanks for the help everyone | 17:49 |
| escott | Dj_FlyBy, not sure why it appears twice in nautilus. it should see the one entry in fstab and only show that. the uuid on the first is odd because its a full uuid, im used to seeing the uuids in the form of the third which is not actually a uuid. the other thing that is a bit strange is the use of user and uid, but its ok if that is what you want | 17:49 |
| escott | SubD, args usually come first | 17:49 |
| escott | SubD, and you probably want -aR | 17:50 |
| sacarlson | SubD: i normaly put the cp -a .... but that might also work | 17:50 |
| ejv | supply your options/args after the main command, for clarity, eg: cp -a /path/ /target/ | 17:50 |
| alexstrand7 | someone knows about an working nokia PC Suite that works with Nokia 5130 | 17:50 |
| alexstrand7 | ? | 17:50 |
| ejv | honestly, this is a job for rsync, not for cp, guess im old fashioned | 17:50 |
| SubD | allright thanks for the information escott and sacarlson | 17:50 |
| sacarlson | subd: ejv: is corect rsync is beter if running more than one time, not much different if only the first and only time | 17:52 |
| alexstrand7 | someone knows about an working nokia PC Suite that works with Nokia 5130? | 17:52 |
| Guest93713 | hola | 17:53 |
| Dj_FlyBy | escott: after further investigating I actually don't think I need the 'user' attribute, but the uid & gid seem to be needed for some strange reason so that mediatomb can access the files on the storage drives (not sure why I never needed it before) | 17:53 |
| diffra | Why would 11.10 feel slow on relatively new hardware? i7-620, 6 gigs of ram, quadro 880m, but EVERYTHING just drags and feels slow. | 17:53 |
| Guest93713 | quien eres | 17:53 |
| sacarlson | subd: ejv: and if the system is remote over ssh rsync again better as it also compresses over lan links | 17:53 |
| escott | Dj_FlyBy, ntfs doesn't use unix permissions thats why you need uid/gid and the like | 17:53 |
| SubD | sacarlson: well the copy has started, now I just wonder when 800gb will be done copying, I tought that there would be some kind of a information on how the copying was going, or is there a command for that maybe? | 17:53 |
| alexstrand7 | no one knows how I can connect my Nokia 5130 to my pc so I can sync my contacts? | 17:54 |

| sacarlson | subd: we should have added cp -av then as that would of added info as it progressed | 17:54 |
| escott | SubD, you could kill it and start again, or just use rsync which can be interrupted | 17:55 |
| ejv | glad some people see the light ;) | 17:55 |
| SubD | sacarlson: oh well I'll remember that next time :D | 17:55 |
| hubsinger | alexstrand7: did you try syncevolution ? | 17:56 |

| alexstrand7 | In windows I needed a program called pc suite to sync my phone but I couldn't find a working program for ubuntu | 17:56 |

| craigbass1976 | I'm trying to copy files, but I'm getting hung up with links. It's a Vista drive that I'm trying to copy over to my Ubuntu box before wiping it, and when I copy, there are links pointing back to the windows drive. That's not good. I've never run into this before. What's the procedure to get the files instead of links to them? | 17:58 |
| craigbass1976 | cp -Hr worked in a test, but not when I diid the real copy | 17:58 |

| escott | craigbass1976, you mean like windows shortcuts? you probably don't mean junctions? | 17:58 |
| monser | do you know what program is used by default when one browse man pages? | 17:59 |
| monser | it looks like it is not vom | 17:59 |
| monser | vim | 17:59 |
| beandog | monser: man | 17:59 |
| alexstrand7 | I can access my files, that is not the problem, but I want to sync contacts and calendar | 17:59 |
| monser | my editor is nano | 17:59 |
| escott | monser, less its set in /etc/alternatives/pager | 17:59 |
| Pici | monser: Its not vim. The default pager is less. | 17:59 |
| monser | i see | 17:59 |
| ejv | didn't we go over this? | 17:59 |
| ejv | lol | 17:59 |

| blitz | how do I limit myself to one desktop? instead of the default 4 | 18:00 |
| nug700 | I'm installing computertemp from the synaptic package manager.. but it freezen on "processing triggers for python-support" | 18:00 |
| alexstrand7 | I can access my files in media mode, but in PC Suite mode nothing happens | 18:00 |
| monser | so the symbolic link pager is one that determines what is being used | 18:00 |
| sacarlson | alexstrand7: I guess best to get an android phone next time that is fully supported cross platforms | 18:00 |
| escott | monser, its your (default) election for the system pager | 18:00 |
| alexstrand7 | I had an android phone but it's not working anymore | 18:00 |
| monser | what is system pager? | 18:01 |
| alexstrand7 | I'm just using my old phone before I get a new phone | 18:01 |

| sacarlson | alexstrand7: you can also move number across with your sim card as I did | 18:01 |
| monser | utility that just displays things, I guess | 18:01 |
| escott | monser, it takes output and splits it into "pages" that can be viewed on the screen. you can change it to whatever application you want | 18:01 |

| dubios | hello, I want to setup automatic ssh auth with public/private keys between an ubuntu 11.10 client and a centos 6 server. I generated an rsa pair and then copied the public key to the server's authorized_keys, but it still requires for a password. is there a known issue with the ubuntu / centos version / combination ? | 18:06 |
| beandog | dubios: you need to set proper permissons on .ssh of target boxes. 0700 for directory ~/.ssh/ 0600 for ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 18:06 |
| beandog | dubios: using chmod | 18:06 |
| escott | dubios, is auth keys an allowed authentication method? what does ssh -vvv username@host say? | 18:07 |
| sacarlson | dubios: I don't think so but what version of ssh on each side? | 18:07 |
| dubios | wow, it says a lot of things. wait | 18:07 |
| jenesaispas | hello there | 18:08 |
| escott | dubios, redhat (and presumably by extension centos) has IIRC a more restrictive sshd.conf setup than ubuntu | 18:08 |
| dubios | OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.0-fips 29 Mar 2010 and OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.0-fips 29 Mar 2010 | 18:08 |
| jenesaispas | I've noticed that when I unmount usb disks by right-click on the icon on unity bar(or using nautilus), they are just mounted right back. Any way to avoid that? Am I doing it wrong? | 18:09 |
| ejv | dubios: you want to set RSAAuthentication yes; PubkeyAuthentication yes; AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys; on your target. | 18:09 |
| beandog | le sigh. I just gave you the answer. | 18:09 |
| ejv | dubios: then restart the openssh-server daemon. | 18:09 |

| sacarlson | dubios: beandog: ya I think the ssh-copy-id makes sure the file premistions are correct | 18:13 |

| craigbass1976 | escott, I'm not sure what all of them are. One I'm currently after is /media/OS/Documents and Settings If it linked to Users, it's be fine; I could copy it over that way and the link would still work after the copy and restore. But it links to /media/OS/Users, and once I wipe the drive, my goose is cooked. | 18:16 |

| gilmore | sburwood1: I use "file expert" on my android phone. I'll bet it's available for the tablet too. | 18:35 |

| * jrib nods | 18:35 | |
| zykotick9 | webnet: 1) using inti.d is deprecated 2) that would require sudo to work | 18:35 |

| webnet | zykotick9, it is? i use it on 10.10 all the time. | 18:35 |
| dev_ | i deleted all mysql files and reinstall | 18:35 |

| escott | Fr3d3riK, ldd binaryfilename | 18:40 |

| MonkeyDust | mads- no, wubi is inside windows, better use the live cd to install and then erase the win partition | 18:58 |
| escott | mads-, not a safe thing to do. you need to reinstall/move the wubi to ext4. wubi might have a migration tool | 18:58 |
| mads- | damn | 18:58 |
| nicm_ | Also, I know literally NOTHING about Ubuntu, I just migrated from windows like, a few days ago, | 18:58 |

| DarsVaeda | how do I disable icedtea plugin? I installed sun java 7 and have that plugin already showing in firefox but icedtea is still there and seems to overwrite it | 19:06 |
| gilmore | DarsVaeda: Is it a firefox plugin? Or ubuntu package? | 19:07 |
| zykotick9 | gilmore: both ;) | 19:07 |
| DarsVaeda | I installed it manually so I guess not a package | 19:07 |
| Casey105 | hi everyone | 19:07 |
| bjrohan | I had an issue a few days ago, where Unity would not load in 3D version, but through recovery I could get it to boot into 2D. Today after applying updates (I an running 12.04), I can now boot into Unity 3D by default in grub, however there is no system tray, nor launcher. Any suggestions? | 19:07 |
| zykotick9 | bjrohan: re-ask in #ubuntu+1 | 19:08 |
| DarsVaeda | it is the same behavior in chromium btw | 19:08 |
| DarsVaeda | but I can disable icedtea there | 19:09 |
| gilmore | zykotick9: DarsVaeda Well, obviously, if it is a package, just un-install it. If it is a firefox, (again), uninstall it. | 19:09 |
| zykotick9 | DarsVaeda: why did you install icedtea manually? there is a package availabe? | 19:09 |
| DarsVaeda | I installed sun-java manually | 19:09 |
| gilmore | DarsVaeda: Oh, sorry, didn't see you say you installed it manually. | 19:09 |
| zykotick9 | DarsVaeda: oh, then you can just "sudo apt-get remove icedtea" i believe | 19:10 |
| MonkeyDust | DarsVaeda sun-java is no longer supported, use open-java | 19:10 |
| gilmore | DarsVaeda: But you sould still be able to use dpkg to remove it. | 19:10 |
| DarsVaeda | no that will install sun-java-6 | 19:10 |
| DarsVaeda | @zykotick | 19:10 |
| zykotick9 | DarsVaeda: iceatea and sun-java shouldn't have anything in common (really) | 19:10 |
| DarsVaeda | MonkeyDust: sorry that is not very helpful, openjdk just doesn not work in all places :/ | 19:11 |
| n-iCe | is there any way to know if changed has been made in a driver? | 19:11 |
| n-iCe | rtl8187 is the driver I would like to know all the changes and upgrades/updates made | 19:11 |
| nicm_ | Just going to ask again quickly before logging out if anyone knows what it means to hang on boot with an error message "error failed to probe smb2" | 19:11 |

| nexusIL | hi I used synap and there are alot of "dead" reposotories is there's a way to clean them? I regularly use yum and new to mint | 19:12 |

| nicm_ | is there any way to elevate my privileges that doesn't involve long command line sequences in the terminal? | 19:38 |
| beandog | sudo su - | 19:39 |
| nicm_ | can I just "sudo" drag and drop? | 19:39 |
| geekbri | Dulak, beandog: changed to the following https://gist.github.com/2219539 | 19:39 |

| escott | nicm_, you could gksudo nautilus, but be very very careful | 19:40 |
| geekbri | beandog: ok, but the way I had it before didnt work even without the export? | 19:40 |
| beandog | geekbri: put it in ~/.bashrc | 19:40 |
| beandog | then it'll work | 19:40 |
| geekbri | beandog: thats where it was :X | 19:40 |
| nicm_ | escott: what could go wrong potentially? | 19:40 |
| Dulak | geekbri: you need to export PS1 to push it into the parent shell, otherwise it is only local to the run of .bashrc, not the parent environment | 19:41 |
| geekbri | ok so the export IS needed | 19:41 |
| dfgas-cr48 | hello | 19:41 |
| Dulak | geekbri: Yes, otherwise it only applies while .bashrc is actually running | 19:41 |
| geekbri | Dulak: gotcha, do I need to do ${} for the variable? | 19:41 |
| dfgas-cr48 | how do i get buttons on top of window to the right? | 19:41 |
| === XuMuK|znc is now known as XuMuK | ||
| escott | nicm_, because guis are more powerful and are not visually distinguished they way your sudo -i prompt is. make sure you close all those root nautilus windows when you are done | 19:41 |
| ThinkT510 | !controls | dfgas-cr48 | 19:42 |
| ubottu | dfgas-cr48: Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information and workarounds, please see http://pad.lv/532633 | 19:42 |
| beandog | geekbri: no, you don't need export. | 19:42 |
| nicm_ | escott: okay, I just want to move a couple folders, then shut down right away | 19:42 |
| beandog | geekbri: put it in .bashrc. Open a new terminal. | 19:42 |
| geekbri | beandog: I've been doing that but it seems to simply not exist | 19:42 |
| Dulak | geekbri: You don't have to but it makes sure there is no ambiguity and the shell won't be confused. | 19:42 |
| beandog | geekbri: pastebin it? | 19:43 |
| geekbri | beandog: k one sec | 19:43 |
| heftig | does ubuntu use voluntary kernel preemption, or a preemptible kernel? | 19:43 |
| nicm_ | escott: thanks for the warning though | 19:43 |
| hcc23 | does anybody know where/how lightdm starts the tightvncserver if there is a [VNCServer] entry in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf? does a vnc server instance created that way have any kind of log file somewhere? | 19:43 |
| Dulak | geekbri: the export is absolutely needed to push PS1 into the parent shell, which is the bash shell you are running from. | 19:43 |
| beandog | Dulak: that's true. Or just source the file. But it doesn't need to be in .bashrc | 19:44 |
| geekbri | Dulak: https://gist.github.com/2219539 that is what I have currently. It doesn't work. interestingly enough If i move the $environment variable to the front of the string it works... although that is not where i want it | 19:44 |
| escott | heftig, it should be preemptible most have been for years, except maybe RT kernels? | 19:44 |
| heftig | escott: just noticed fedora is using voluntary, was wondering about ubuntu | 19:44 |
| beandog | geekbri: take out export | 19:45 |
| beandog | o.O | 19:45 |
| geekbri | beandog: doesn't work with or without the export | 19:45 |
| beandog | geekbri: you have it on the second line | 19:45 |
| geekbri | beandog: yeah im saying on the PS1 line it doesn't work with or without it | 19:45 |
| beandog | wait a second, that's not your *entire* .bashrc is it? | 19:45 |
| geekbri | beandog: no no no, i have the general ubuntu one | 19:46 |
| geekbri | beandog: with this appended at the bottom | 19:46 |
| beandog | geekbri: okay. How are you testing it then? | 19:46 |
| gilmore | dfgas-cr48: http://www.ntlug.org/Articles/CustomizeUbuntu Scroll down about half way, (under "Here are my suggested changes") | 19:46 |
| geekbri | beandog: im logging out then back in (instead of sourcing) | 19:46 |
| geekbri | beandog: I do see that PS1 is being set further up in the file, but I just assuemd this would overwrite that. | 19:46 |
| beandog | geekbri: it will overwrite it | 19:46 |
| escott | heftig, grep -i preempt /boot/config-3.0.0-11-generic it is voluntary | 19:47 |
| gilmore | dfgas-cr48: "Scroll down and click the down arrow beside metacity. Select general under metacity and then look to the right panel. Select the text to the right of button_layout and change it to ?:minimize,maximize,close?." | 19:47 |
| heftig | escott: okay, thanks | 19:47 |
| escott | heftig, they are probably concerned about bad drivers | 19:47 |
| heftig | with good reason | 19:47 |
| BobMarley | hi | 19:47 |
| dfgas-cr48 | ty | 19:47 |
| gilmore | NP | 19:47 |
| beandog | geekbri: what happens when you run that in the terminal, without export | 19:47 |
| heftig | I've been running into some horrible RCU hangs with the wifi drivers here, and I think it's the preemptible RCU that's at fault | 19:48 |
| BobMarley | i try to mount as a guest the ubuntu 10.04 with qemu | 19:48 |
| heftig | or rather, the driver's interaction with the rcu | 19:48 |
| BobMarley | and when i write the following command : | 19:48 |
| BobMarley | qemu -hda ubuntu-test -cdrom ubuntu-10.04.4-desktop-i386.iso -m 192 -boot d | 19:48 |
| geekbri | beandog: just shows me the normal prompt without the added variable. If i pull the variable to the front it works | 19:48 |
| BobMarley | i get this result: | 19:48 |
| BobMarley | open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory | 19:48 |
| BobMarley | Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support | 19:48 |
| BobMarley | qemu: could not open disk image ubuntu-test: No such file or directory | 19:48 |
| BobMarley | so what is the problem? | 19:48 |
| beandog | geekbri: wait, whut? | 19:49 |
| BobMarley | do i need to put the iso file somewhere in some specific folder? | 19:49 |
| Dulak | It's not like I wrote my own .bashrc that plenty of people have used, what do I know. https://bitbucket.org/alwassoc/mybashrc/overview | 19:49 |

| d0brii | hi | 20:31 |
| ServicesLuto | MonkeyDust, Don't works. | 20:32 |
| gmachine_24 | FernandoCueva - I don't know. What about removing the drive and then plugging it back in. Very low tech. | 20:32 |

| d0brii | anyone's unity getting progressively slower and slower after couple of weeks? | 20:32 |

| _Marcus|NotHereS | !nounity | d0brii | 20:34 |
| ubottu | d0brii: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 20:34 |
| gmachine_24 | FernandoCueva - so it's still listed as /dev/sdd1? | 20:34 |
| yurt3891 | d0brii: You can boot into a different desktop environment so Unity doesn't get loaded at all. It's possible to remove the packages, just that the meta desktop package complains at you | 20:34 |

| FernandoCueva | k | 20:40 |
| konartist | im looking at it in gedit | 20:40 |
| yurt3891 | maximilius: In what way does gparted "not work"? Did you remove the file system partition on the USB Stick? I've recreated FAT32 partitions on them before with gparted | 20:41 |
| gmachine_24 | konartist, open gedit with $sudo gedit filename | 20:41 |

| maximilius | yurt3891: i need partition recovery not creation | 20:41 |
| MonkeyDust | maximilius did you erase the data on the usb stick? if yes, try scalpel or testdisk to recover the data | 20:41 |
| maximilius | the tool is call gpart not gparted | 20:41 |
| maximilius | MonkeyDust: TestDisk only offers to recover 1 older partition which is the wrong one, and after deep search i cant select either of both | 20:42 |
| gmachine_24 | maximilius, sorry for coming in late...... you are wanting to pull data from a drive or actually restore that drive/partition? | 20:42 |

| === Companion is now known as companion | ||
| gmachine_24 | maximilus, I know there are posts/sites out there that will supposedly tell you how to rescue data using open source tools.

| maximilius | yeah, i found lots of stuff that tells you how to manually edit the partition table but thats not what i can use | 20:45 |
| trism | konartist: if that is actually your /etc/apt/sources.list then you will probably want to run: gksudo software-properties-gtk; afterwards to enable some repos | 20:45 |
| yurt3891 | maximilius: Have you tried with gentoo? | 20:47 |

| _Marcus|NotHereS | Hi xananax | 20:50 |
| yurt3891 | gmachine_24: Let us be serious... installing gentoo will not recover a deleted partition. Even the best OS can't work miracles | 20:50 |
| xananax | I have that USB that does not work (hangs on safely remove) | 20:50 |
| nes | gentoo = beast/ | 20:50 |
| xananax | After trying a lot of things, I was able to make it work with sudo mount -o remount,async /dev/sda1 | 20:51 |
| xananax | so basically mounting it in sync mode | 20:51 |
| maximilius | will try the DDRESCUE magic | 20:51 |
| gmachine_24 | guys- I know I said you were talking about a boot disk based on gentoo. | 20:51 |
| xananax | Can I edit my fstab to add an entry for this usb and have it always mounted in sync? | 20:51 |
| DJ | xananax, sudo nano /etc/fstab | 20:52 |
| DJ | there it is, | 20:52 |
| gmachine_24 | xananax - will it always be plugged in? | 20:52 |
| xananax | no, it's a usb thumb drive | 20:52 |
| DJ | xananax, then create a bash script to Mount it, | 20:52 |

| DJ | what are you trying to do xananax ? | 20:53 |
| gmachine_24 | mount an mp3 player, I think | 20:54 |

| MonkeyDust | gnuskool take note and check later: the commands dig and route | 21:29 |
| gilmore | gnuskool: 192.168.0.0 is not a valid IP | 21:30 |
| beandog | silentz0r: yah should work | 21:30 |
| maximilius | when i convert the data from ddrescue with mkisofs i receive one huge file but not access to the actual data | 21:30 |
| silentz0r | beandog: i'm basically asking, does the ubuntu dev team add anything that I would miss if i installed the driver from the website? | 21:30 |
| gnuskool | gilmore: I noticed that, but didnt know how to change it | 21:30 |
| gilmore | qsu - | 21:31 |
| gilmore | century | 21:31 |
| gilmore | ifconfig | 21:31 |
| beandog | silentz0r: dunno. | 21:31 |
| buhman | whenever I modify /etc/motd, it is modified when I log in again | 21:31 |
| buhman | what is causing this malicious behavior? | 21:31 |
| beandog | silentz0r: Either way, I'd uninstall it from your system | 21:31 |
| gilmore | ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.0 | 21:31 |
| beandog | silentz0r: uninstall the one already provided from ubuntu, and go from there | 21:31 |
| trism | buhman: /etc/motd is updated by the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/ | 21:31 |
| silentz0r | beandog: problem is, my hardware cannot use opensource driver so i would have to do everything via commandline | 21:31 |
| trism | buhman: if you want to add a static tail to the end, add it to /etc/motd.tail | 21:32 |
| gnuskool | MonkeyDust: any idea why route-n had 192.168..0.0 in there for eth0? | 21:32 |
| beandog | silentz0r: thats fine. it comes with an installer | 21:32 |
| trism | buhman: likewise you can chmod -x the scripts in that directory that you would like to disable (and chmod +x them to reenable them) | 21:32 |
| [Si] | 192.168.0.0 would be the network address assuming a /24 (255.255.255.0 netmask) | 21:33 |
| buhman | trism: interesting | 21:33 |
| gnuskool | Si, thx | 21:34 |
| gnuskool | Si, so to get a reply from ping, I'd need to put in a static route between the subnets? | 21:35 |
| [Si] | gnuskool, for what you want to do you'll need the wireless clients to use ETH1s ip as their gateway, you need ip forwarding enabled on the linux box, and you need a route on the external router back to 192.168.1.0/24 via eth0s IP | 21:36 |
| bastidrazor | buhman: /etc/update-motd.d/ has the files you need to motify. | 21:37 |
| gilmore | ls | 21:37 |
| [Si] | the external router would also need to NAT the 192.168.1.0/24 out to the internet, if it can't do that then do the NAT on the linux box for it. | 21:37 |
| MonkeyDust | gnuskool 192.168.0.0 looks odd | 21:38 |
| [Si] | MonkeyDust: why, it's a network address | 21:38 |
| === Guest10277 is now known as lillit | ||
| buhman | bastidrazor: indeed it does | 21:39 |
| MonkeyDust | [Si] mm, it's the .0.0 i wonder about | 21:39 |
| [Si] | MonkeyDust: In a routing table it's normal, it's the network address | 21:40 |
| MonkeyDust | [Si] thing is, i didnt know 0 is used for addresses | 21:41 |
| [Si] | MonkeyDust: it isn't used for a host (assuming a /24 netmaks) | 21:41 |
| gnuskool | Si, thanks - eth1 is currently gateway - will work on the other things you mentioned - thanks | 21:41 |
| [Si] | gnuskool: good luck :) | 21:42 |
| gnuskool | Si, btw, when you say NAT 192.168.1.0/24 to the internet, do you mean 'port forward' in router settings? | 21:43 |
| [Si] | no gnuskool you are using private addresses they can't be routed on the internet, so you need to get the router to do a "Hide NAT" or "Many to One NAT" | 21:44 |
| [Si] | normaly the router would do that for the local clients but you are adding another network so it needs to know to nat that too. | 21:44 |
| JC_SoCal | i am noticing that i don't have a /proc/bus/pci and cant access my pci card device | 21:44 |

| JC_SoCal | also if i do an lspci i see my device | 21:46 |

| nes | cpu* | 21:52 |
| acer | nope nes | 21:52 |
| acer | only sometimes | 21:53 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: is ubuntu-test an image you created with qemu-img? | 21:53 |
| JC_SoCal | [Si]: what I've got so far is the impression that i need to map that directory to /dev something | 21:53 |
| acicula | acer there is fancontrol, but it sounds like your system is already managing the throtthling of the cpu fan | 21:53 |
| [Si] | JC_SoCal: is it in /sys/bus/pci ? | 21:54 |
| Aelingil | How do you uninstall a program you've compiled & put together (./configure | make | make install) in terminal? | 21:54 |

| acer | acicula I need a way to force it on | 21:54 |
| acer | always | 21:54 |
| [Si] | Aelingil: you have to hope they added a make uninstall | 21:54 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: FYI qemu is slow (kvm appears isn't supported by your CPU, but is very fast) | 21:54 |

| === q0rban is now known as q-rban | ||
| [Si] | Aelingil: yeah the same folder you ran make install in | 21:55 |
| zykotick9 | [Si]: as the output states ;) but thanks, i actually hadn't read any backlog for this | 21:55 |
| Aelingil | [Si], blah, thank you.. I was hopping it wouldnt be the case, i dont see it there. Time to reload the snapshot... | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Aelingil: try: sudo make clean in the same folder you compiled in, In futre I suggest you use checkinstall to make debs, makes life easier | 21:57 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: +1 | 21:57 |
| BobMarley | zykotick9, yes ubuntu test is that | 21:57 |
| Aelingil | ActionParsnip, i was using a walkthrough and it showed a make test and that went through correctly. However later down the road there is an error and everything i've read has told me to re-install the program | 21:57 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: but the output says "could not open disk image" | 21:57 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: you need to use full path if you aren't in that directory | 21:58 |
| Aelingil | Luckly this is all for learning, so when we go to do it for real there are no mistakes.. :) | 21:59 |
| hayer | Can I install ubuntu11.10 alongside W7 to another disk? Like disk1: W7 and bootldr, disk2: ubuntu | 21:59 |
| BobMarley | yes my cpu is not supporting virtualization | 21:59 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: also, probably best to add an extention to the image saying what it is raw,qcow,etc | 21:59 |
| [Si] | Aelingil: Aelingil next time use checkinstall instead of make install, this will allow you to use dpkg to remove the package | 21:59 |
| BobMarley | zykotick9, | 21:59 |
| BobMarley | yes i have added as being img | 21:59 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: then you need to specify that in your command | 22:00 |
| Aelingil | [Si], rgr rgr. I'll put that in my notes. I should be back to this step in about 20 minutes :) | 22:00 |
| BobMarley | but how? | 22:00 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: ".. -hda ubuntu-test.img .." | 22:00 |
| BobMarley | zykotick9, , but where i must put the iso file , which serves to install the guest system? | 22:01 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: the iso is secondard to your HD image (which currently isn't found) | 22:01 |

| [Si] | BobMarley: virtualbox may be a little more friendly | 22:02 |

| JC_SoCal | [Si]: yes it is there /sys/bus/pci/devices | 22:02 |
| zykotick9 | [Si]: +1 | 22:02 |
| JC_SoCal | [Si]: i assume i just ln or mount --bind? | 22:02 |
| BobMarley | ok, but i need to use qemu and kvm for the following thing:http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=Tasks/USB_Serial_Adapter_driver | 22:03 |
| [Si] | JC_SoCal: mount --bind I guess I guess some autofs/usbfs or somethign has over written | 22:03 |
| [Si] | i | 22:03 |
| BobMarley | given that i must install the following thing: | 22:03 |
| BobMarley | http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=OVMF | 22:03 |
| JC_SoCal | [Si]: where should i put the mount --bind so that it is persistance after reboot | 22:04 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: so use full paths then. "qemu -hda /full/path/ubuntu-test.img -cdrom /path/to/ubuntu.iso .. -boot d" | 22:04 |
| [Si] | JC_SoCal: a hack would be to put it in /etc/rc.local | 22:04 |
| BobMarley | but, given that my cpu is not supporting virtualization, do i need to unninstal the kvm? | 22:05 |
| JC_SoCal | [Si]: i appricate it -- ill give this a try, thanks so much | 22:05 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: don't know if it makes any difference or not? | 22:05 |
| BobMarley | where by default qemu has its virtual machines ? | 22:06 |
| zykotick9 | BobMarley: no default, it's where you create/put them | 22:06 |

I thought there was something I could do inside my bios or Ubuntu settings or something to prevent this. | 22:58 |
| MrChrisDruif | acicula; how's it going? | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | acicula: installing in text mode makes it faster :) | 22:59 |
| sunya | hi. a few days ago I installed ffmpeg, and IIRC a few packages related to audio/video were replaced, but I don't remember which. Ever since both VLC and Totem have lots of problems seeking through an h264/mp4 file, leaving the audio and video completely out of sync, skipping frames, etc.. how can I undo what installing ffmpeg did? simply removing ffmpeg doesn't undo the replacement. | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | acicula: as in, the install process | 22:59 |
| acicula | ActionParsnip: thats why im asking him if he's doing that | 22:59 |
| f3ck4r | Dj_FlyBy: just add a program like a "terminal" which you have open anyway D; | 22:59 |
| anonymous_Umbrel | Hello www.anonymousdobrasil.blogspot.com | 23:02 |
| bastidrazor | anonymous_Umbrel: really? that site is bad. | 23:04 |
| f3ck4r | sunya: mplayer is the best player out there | 23:04 |
| zykotick9 | f3ck4r: +1 | 23:04 |
| shade34321 | I'm using psh to test several nodes to see if a user can log onto them...what's a simple command I can use to execute, just need to makes ure he can access everything | 23:04 |
| acicula | whoami | 23:05 |
| sunya | f3ck4r: the problem isn't the player, it's the underlying libraries. | 23:05 |
| f3ck4r | just download them all | 23:06 |
| shade34321 | acicula, good call | 23:06 |
| sunya | f3ck4r: I don't know what they are called. | 23:06 |
| Dj_FlyBy | sunya: have you tried removing and reinstalling vlc | 23:06 |
| _Marcus | bastidrazor: What is that site? | 23:07 |
| f3ck4r | sunya: take a look --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 | 23:07 |
| f3ck4r | this may solve your problem. | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sunya: also try deleting the folder ~/.config/vlc so you get vanilla settings | 23:08 |
| sunya | I'll try your suggestions, thanks. | 23:08 |

| VikingIV | Hello all | 23:38 |
| Salinas-MG | application of network signal wirelless | 23:38 |
| Salinas-MG | I need a graphics application for viewing wireless network | 23:39 |
| Salinas-MG | status... | 23:39 |
| VikingIV | If i'd like to migrate my installation of Ubuntu 10.04 to a newer machine, would I have serious issues if I tried mirroring it to the new machine's drive? | 23:39 |
| VikingIV | or is it necessary for a fresh installation? | 23:39 |
| Salinas-MG | Hello VikingIV .. help me | 23:40 |
| Dulak | VikingIV: it would probably be easier and faster to install fresh on the new machine and just mirror /home over across the network. | 23:40 |
| VikingIV | Dulak, okay thanks. I didn't know how well it would recognize new hardware from an old installation. I guess I'll have to migrate my package profile as well? | 23:41 |
| VikingIV | I'd like all of my applications to remain. | 23:41 |
| bastidrazor | !clone | 23:41 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 23:41 |
| warrior_ | ehi | 23:42 |
| Dulak | VikingIV: you can get a list of installed packages and feed the list to the new machine to make that rather painless | 23:43 |
| Dulak | Ahh crap, he left. | 23:43 |
| warrior_ | wubi 64 or 32 bit? | 23:43 |
| _r00t_ | anyone know if I can do-release-upgrade from 10.10 -> 12.04 ? | 23:44 |
| bastidrazor | _r00t_: directly no. you'll have to go 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 | 23:44 |
| techboy | hmm | 23:44 |
| _r00t_ | bastidrazor: :(((((((((((((........... | 23:45 |
| techboy | can anyone recommend me a video editor that allows you to put pictures/videos on top of clips and has subtitle support? | 23:45 |
| warrior_ | FloodBot1 | 23:45 |
| bastidrazor | warrior_: state an actual question and you may get an answer if someone knows it. | 23:46 |
| _r00t_ | bastidrazor: I did manage to go from 11.10 beta to 12.04 beta - I guess that was a simple step up | 23:46 |
| raydog45000 | I just recently set lamp up on my ubuntu desktop and am trying to convert it to pure server, I can access it via ssh on mylocal host, does anyone know a good guide to make it accessible from the net or know how? | 23:47 |

| maximilius | what is the problem with these vboxusers/groups with virtualbox and usb devices? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | maximilius: you need the closed source vbox if you want usb access | 23:50 |
| hasaan | can't open synaptic package manager. it shows...an error occured, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 23:50 |
| hasaan | E: _cache->open() failed, please report.'' | 23:50 |

| Helsinkiii | hi | 23:50 |
| bastidrazor | hasaan: did you run the command it suggested? | 23:51 |
| Helsinkiii | does Tor automatically make you an exit node when you install it? | 23:51 |
| f3ck4r | Helsinkiii: nope | 23:52 |
| Helsinkiii | f3ck4r, oh, ok | 23:52 |
| Helsinkiii | f3ck4r, thanks | 23:52 |

| anthropos | tor does not make you an exit node nor a bridge by default | 23:55 |
| mdel | hey all -- what would be the best way to connect to a remote server and modify code using a GUI editor | 23:55 |
| mdel | SFTP? | 23:55 |
| mdel | a more pointed question - is SFTP or NFS better suited for remote editing of files | 23:56 |
| _r00t_ | mdel: what is your client OS ? | 23:56 |
| f3ck4r | anthropos: he is already gone. i think he don't understand the concept of exit node or a bridge / relay | 23:56 |
| Dulak | mdel: lan or wan? | 23:56 |
| mdel | _r00t_: ubuntu, wan | 23:56 |
| anthropos | he probably understands that he doesn't want to be an exit node, though :) | 23:56 |
| mdel | sftp works fine (im using sublime text 2, btw) | 23:57 |
| Dulak | mdel: sftp then, nfs is a lan thing | 23:57 |
| mdel | Dulak: that's what I thought, but I was lead to believe otherwise | 23:57 |
| anthropos | sftp makes way more sense | 23:57 |
| anthropos | for a wide variety of reasons | 23:57 |
| f3ck4r | anthropos: yeah | 23:57 |
| _r00t_ | mdel: ssh -Y remotehost ...... on the remote host run kate or something and the windows will tunnel back to your client | 23:57 |
| Dulak | mdel: Oh you could do nfs, but it would be nearly unusable due to the latency. | 23:58 |
| f3ck4r | i do when it need (bridge) | 23:58 |
| _r00t_ | mdel: it might be a little slow on WAN but is perfect on a LAN | 23:58 |
