| hank__ | No I believe Win7 has a GUI option in network and sharing center | 00:51 |

| eph3meral | anyone know much about how ubuntu and specifically xfce and or the display manager (gdm?) handles sound muting and unmuting? when I log in to ubuntu the sound icon in the top right of my screen says my sound is muted, which it is, until I plug in my headphones | 00:55 |
| eph3meral | moral of the story | 00:55 |
| eph3meral | is I get no sound out of my speakers, except, I have to make sure that on first login on boot, I make sure to "unmute" my sound before I log in | 00:56 |
| compdoc | this is another site: http://ethanwolkowicz.net/wiki/index.php/Map_samba_share_in_windows_7 | 00:56 |

| Ator | I'm using wifi..but not sure how protected it is..landlord controls it. | 02:02 |
| hilikus | hey guys | 02:02 |
| CFHowlett | Ator create a non-administrative account for daily use and for each individual user. | 02:02 |
| Ator | I'm the only one with phy access to my computer | 02:02 |
| Dulak | Ator: start using a vpn, it's trivial to sniff passwords on wireless | 02:02 |
| rbrooks | https://twitter.com/ | 02:03 |
| Ator | but I suspect someone who might be doing it.. | 02:03 |
| CFHowlett | Ator get the firefox plugin "always https" | 02:03 |
| gregorsamsa | how do you sniff pswrd of wireless | 02:03 |
| Ator | so it's not really a trivial sniffing.. | 02:03 |
| Dulak | gregorsamsa: you crack the wireless key, not sniff it. | 02:04 |
| gregorsamsa | ok | 02:04 |
| _r00t_ | getting tired can I close the do-release-upgrade ssh session and resume it with screen later on ? | 02:04 |
| i7c | Ator: i don't know which desktop you are using. but try rightclicking on the wifi symbol and click "connection information" to see if your wifi is wpa2 protected. | 02:04 |
| hilikus | i have a bootable harddrive where i have some live ISO's. the harddrive shows a grub menu to boot but whichever item i try to boot it fails saying that the ISO was not found. the problem is that somwehere it is trying to mount the wrong partition. where are mounts configured so that grub sees them?? | 02:04 |
| gnuskool | backtracj | 02:05 |
| Ator | I'm using gnome 3 and it is WPA2 | 02:05 |
| rbrooks | is your landlord a computer hacker? | 02:05 |
| Ator | not at all..but like I said..I suspect someone who might be doing it.. | 02:05 |
| rbrooks | how is someone doing it? | 02:06 |
| rbrooks | how do you suspect rateher | 02:06 |
| Ator | if I knew..I might have an answer.. | 02:06 |
| rbrooks | hmmph | 02:06 |
| Ator | oh..because they said they have done it ones.. | 02:06 |
| Ator | and since then I have changed the password several times.. | 02:06 |
| rbrooks | maybe Twitter is broken lol | 02:07 |
| Dulak | Ator: ever let that person use your computer? | 02:07 |
| i7c | Ator: if it's not your landlord try talking to him about changing the wpa2 encryption key. further you can try using cable which is secure as hell. | 02:07 |
| Ator | including the email account that is attached to the twitter account | 02:07 |
| Ator | no..I'm the only one with phy access to my computer | 02:07 |
| i7c | then the access is maybe not "phy"... thought about it? | 02:08 |
| Ator | the persone I suspect is a friend of a friend..so it's not the landlord. | 02:08 |
| Ator | landlord got a new Linksys D2500 rounter few days ago.. | 02:08 |
| Loshki | Ator: And we have a winner. If you do what rbrooks said you don't have to worry, since the encryption is end-to-end between you and twitter... | 02:09 |
| Ator | I was using windows 7 before..and I thought it must be some kind of keylogger..so I switched to Linux..and still the same.. | 02:10 |
| Ator | could it be the browser? I'm using Google chrome | 02:10 |
| i7c | nope | 02:10 |
| CFHowlett | Ator if ytou | 02:10 |
| Ator | so you're saying that person broke the wpa2 enscryption and hacked into my conputer? | 02:11 |
| i7c | Ator: the easiest way to sniff a pw is watch you typing it. so if it's a friend of a friend you should think about that. | 02:12 |
| Ator | I konw what you're saying..but I have changed the password at HOME. | 02:13 |
| Ator | no one has seen anything..100% | 02:13 |
| Ator | I'm sick of changing password now.. | 02:13 |
| i7c | Ator: you use the password saving function of chrome? | 02:14 |
| sacarlson | Ator: do you always use https on your email and tweeter? | 02:14 |
| Ator | yes I do use the saving fucntion.. | 02:14 |
| i7c | have you changed the google account pw too? | 02:14 |
| sacarlson | ator: to me it sounds like the weakness must be on the router side with a fake website present | 02:15 |
| i7c | because when you synch it and someone has that pw he has all your pws. | 02:15 |
| Ator | I'm not really sure though if threes https for tweeter..but for email I see https everytime I login.. | 02:15 |
| Ator | yes..I changed everything that is attached to tweeter | 02:15 |
| Ator | I can;t really do anything with the router..landlord is very strict about this for some reason.. | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Ator: do you use a proxy? | 02:16 |
| Ator | no I don't. | 02:16 |
| davinciad | need to know if there is anyway to remotely connect to my ubuntu machine without first enabling it on the local computer? I have sudo and root access and access to the router it sits behind. | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Ator: ok, takes that out :) | 02:17 |
| Ator | I tried to use TOR...but it is really really slow.. | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | davinciad: you will need to install a service on the server side first, so no | 02:17 |
| davinciad | does the default 11.10 install any services I can use? | 02:18 |
| Sazpaimon | sorry, had to step away. ActionParsnip I *could* remove network-manager, but I'd like to keep it if at all possible | 02:18 |
| i7c | davinciad: it's really easy to install ssh on ubuntu. | 02:18 |
| davinciad | yes I know but I don't have local access to it until tomorrow and I need to restart a local service tonight | 02:19 |
| davinciad | There has to be something I can do? | 02:20 |
| Ator | so the best way to try for now would be VPN I guess.. | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | davinciad: they are installed but not enabled by default | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | davinciad: vino is a vnc server, in a default install, not enabled though | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | davinciad: nobody local to the PC to install openssh-server for you? | 02:21 |
| MoleMan | Can anyone suggest a Linux, command-line equivalent to SpeedFan for Windows please? / Anything CLI that will display system temperatures... | 02:22 |
| [1]Jwilx | isnt ssh already built into terminal? | 02:22 |
| root_____ | hi guys | 02:22 |
| davinciad | nope its late everyone went home including myself lol | 02:22 |
| i7c | so there is no way. | 02:22 |
| root_____ | just downloaded the new ubuntu 12.0 and love it. | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !rootirc | root_____ | 02:22 |
| ubottu | root_____: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 02:22 |
| _r00t_ | hmmmmmm | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | root_____: there is no Ubuntu 12.0 | 02:22 |
| _r00t_ | root_____: No performance issues ? | 02:23 |
| davinciad | I have vpn access to that network as well but I don't suppose that will hep | 02:23 |
| davinciad | help | 02:23 |
| i7c | ActionParsnip: i have 13.37 already, what are you talking about. | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | root_____: 12.04 runs well here too | 02:23 |
| _r00t_ | ActionParsnip: He probably means 12.04 | 02:23 |
| root_____ | not yet...had trouble with the network manager | 02:23 |
| Arsin | hi | 02:23 |
| bobbyB | arsin | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | _r00t_: yeah but i like to nit pick sometimes | 02:23 |
| Sazpaimon | to be honest running IRC as root probably wont do anything bad, if you think about it | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | i7c: 13.37 of what, wrong target perhaps? | 02:24 |
| i7c | davinciad: nope. disabled service is disabled. | 02:24 |
| root_____ | im using irssi | 02:24 |
| _r00t_ | ActionParsnip: you should join the Archlinux channel then ? LOLLLLLLLLLllllllllllllllll | 02:24 |
| i7c | ActionParsnip: ubuntu 13.37. was bad joke, i apologize. | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Sazpaimon: irc isn't incredibly secure, plus there are commands you ca run in scripts, which wil run as root rather than user | 02:24 |
| bobbyB | hey just got ubutu having difficulty even doing simple compands keep getting the message :"no such file or directory" even though there is definitely a file | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | _r00t_: hehe indeed | 02:24 |
| bobbyB | thoughts? | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | i7c: its late / early here, must've missed it | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: is the file in the pwd? | 02:25 |
| i7c | ActionParsnip: dito. never mind :) | 02:25 |
| bobbyB | pwd? | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: present working directory | 02:25 |
| bobbyB | not sure lol | 02:25 |
| Arsin | bobbyB: Are you directing it to the path? or have you changed your path with CD to the folder? | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: if you run: ls do you see the filename? | 02:25 |
| bobbyB | no | 02:25 |
| bobbyB | hmm interesting | 02:26 |
| Sazpaimon | IRC isn't sure in that it's plaintext, and if we're talking about scripts, then yeah youre not smart. But just using IRC without any fancy client dodads and stuff? I don't see what would be detrimental | 02:26 |
| Sazpaimon | s/sure/secure | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: then you wil need to change dir to where the file is | 02:26 |
| root_____ | i mean 12.04 sorry | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Sazpaimon: its just a good habit to get into ;) | 02:26 |
| Sazpaimon | ActionParsnip, can't argue there | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | root_____: precise isn't supported here until release day but you are free to hang and help others :D | 02:27 |
| bobbyB | ActionParsnip: so how do you od that exactly? | 02:27 |
| Arsin | bobbyB: CD (Directory here) | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: where is thefile held? | 02:28 |
| Arsin | in terminal | 02:28 |
| bobbyB | under my documents | 02:28 |
| bobbyB | just a simple text file | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: which folder? | 02:28 |
| Arsin | bobbyB: wait in VM or windows? | 02:28 |
| Sazpaimon | also, apparently a kernel update broke my virtualbox additions. I could have sworn i installed dkms | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: in the 'Documents' folder in home? | 02:28 |
| bobbyB | words.txt in th eoflder Documents | 02:28 |
| bobbyB | yes | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: cd ~/Documents | 02:28 |

| Guest24261 | thats better im out off root now thanks for telling me... | 02:28 |
| === Guest24261 is now known as decksmasher | ||
| ActionParsnip | Guest24261: using your user instead of root for everything means you don't have to worry | 02:29 |
| decksmasher | yes it does | 02:29 |
| bobbyB | still get the error "no such file | 02:29 |
| bobbyB | or directory even for that | 02:30 |
| bobbyB | hmmm | 02:30 |
| i7c | bobbyB: captial/small letters? :) | 02:30 |
| Arsin | ^^ is important | 02:30 |
| i7c | documents not equals Documents, bobbyB | 02:30 |
| bobbyB | I know it's uppercase | 02:31 |
| i7c | you can type cd and doubletap TAB to see the subfolders. | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: then if you now run: ls do you see the file? | 02:32 |
| Arsin | ActionParsnip: He hasn't changed directories yet | 02:33 |
| bobbyB | no it doesn't show | 02:33 |
| i7c | bobbyB: in which directory are you right now. what does the line in the terminal say? | 02:33 |
| decksmasher | i really want to download fluxbox now and install it with my new ubuntu 12.4 has anybody done this? just wondering if it was a good idea before i started. | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: did you run: cd ~/Documents ? | 02:34 |
| CFHowlett | decksmasher ask in #ubuntu+1 | 02:34 |
| decksmasher | ok will do thanks | 02:34 |
| bobbyB | ActionParsnip tried to but didn't do anything | 02:35 |
| bobbyB | no such file or directory | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | decksmasher: I'm starting to install minimal then install flux/openbox these days :) | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: if you run: ls do you see the Documents folder? | 02:36 |
| bobbyB | wait not did that | 02:36 |
| bobbyB | yes | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: ok, then type: cd ~/Do then hit TAB, it will autocomplete | 02:36 |
| i7c | ActionParsnip, bobbyB: type cd ~/Docu and hit TAB. there might be a downloads folder :P | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | i7c: good point | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyB: the D is capitalized too ;) | 02:39 |
| bobbyB | yeah I think I got it working now | 02:40 |
| bobbyB | thatnks for your help guys !!!! :D:D:D:D | 02:40 |
| i7c | bobbyB: yay :) | 02:40 |
| i7c | bobbyB: you maybe should consider reading some stuff on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ you'll make fast progress. | 02:42 |

| Dulak | _r00t_: how the heck? fg is a built in not an executable, screen should puke on it. | 02:52 |

| ghostnik11 | hi, i am having a problem with printing from a canon mp560, i think the problem is that when i first installed the printer drivers i installed from a driver that was copied from another computer but now I want to reinstall the driver fresh but need to eliminate the drivers from the computer | 02:55 |
| ghostnik11 | my question is how do i purge the drivers? | 02:56 |
| bazhang | ghostnik11, what does linuxprinting.org database say about that printer | 02:56 |
| bazhang | ghostnik11, how did you install them | 02:56 |
| ghostnik11 | bazhang, didn't know that there was such a site, will check it out now, but i installed it directly | 02:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostnik11: the canon site may have drivers for your printer, they do make some linux drivers in deb form :) | 02:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostnik11: go to the canon europe site | 02:57 |
| ghostnik11 | bazhang, yeah what i did was i went to canon and just put europe to get drivers, like ActionParsnip said | 02:57 |
| ghostnik11 | bazhang, but the thing is that the first drivers i installed was copied from a thinkpad laptop and this is a different computer | 02:58 |
| ghostnik11 | bazhang, so i think i screwed it up by installing the copied drivers instead of going to the site and downloading them directly from canon like i did for the thinkpad | 02:58 |
| Guest19665 | i am brand new to linux so not sure why i am having this problem bazhang | 02:58 |

| mopar | hello | 03:01 |
| charinza | icome from thailand | 03:01 |
| mopar | awesome charinza, i come from america | 03:01 |
| charinza | I like ubuntu | 03:01 |
| goddard | me to | 03:01 |
| mopar | i am brand new to ubuntu | 03:01 |
| mopar | been on it a week and a half | 03:02 |
| goddard | im not but still lovin it | 03:02 |
| mopar | came from microsoft | 03:02 |
| charinza | i want ubuntu server | 03:02 |
| mopar | i have a question for ya'll | 03:02 |
| mopar | why do i have problems with skype? | 03:02 |
| wawawee | dont go back to winblows :) | 03:02 |
| wawawee | nice vague question | 03:03 |
| wawawee | lol | 03:03 |
| mopar | i try typing or calling a person on skype but for some reason it does not connect with them | 03:03 |
| goddard | cause skype is a microsoft product | 03:03 |
| mopar | no there is a linux version which i have | 03:03 |
| wawawee | I have the same issue I have to close it with task manager and resign in | 03:03 |
| mopar | and it was working before | 03:03 |
| wawawee | it randomly stops working all the time | 03:03 |
| goddard | no its a microsoft product | 03:03 |
| wawawee | its a microshit owned company now | 03:04 |
| goddard | yep | 03:04 |
| mopar | then why is there a linux version in the ubuntu software center? | 03:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mopar: did you grab the deb from the skype site | 03:04 |
| ghostnik11 | bazhang, i just checked out linuxprinting.org and it doesn't have my printer listed: canon pixmia mp560 | 03:04 |
| sacarlson | mopar: skype is working fine for me on ubuntu 11.10 | 03:04 |
| goddard | you really should use something else | 03:04 |
| mopar | yes i did actionparsnip | 03:04 |
| mopar | oh wait no | 03:04 |
| wawawee | mopar it was bought out by microsoft recently | 03:04 |
| goddard | in my opinion | 03:04 |
| mopar | i got it from the ubuntu software center | 03:04 |
| wawawee | and it would make sense to port it to multiple os's | 03:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mopar: skype as a company is owned by microsoft, microsoft get money by people using paid skype accounts so it is smart to still support Linux | 03:04 |
| mopar | like what goddard? | 03:04 |
| ghostnik11 | bazhang, but i know it works on ubuntu because it worked on my thinkpad, i just don't know why it doesn't work on this compaq prescario c700 | 03:04 |
| goddard | mopar: there are a few out there but it depends what you wanna do | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | skype also has poor security | 03:05 |
| goddard | mopar: you use it for a phone number? | 03:05 |
| mopar | i downloaded skype from the ubuntu software center | 03:05 |
| d1n0 | the internet has poor security, lmao | 03:05 |
| d1n0 | ;P | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mopar: the one on the skype site is a little newer | 03:05 |
| wawawee | what does it say when you try to connect | 03:05 |
| mopar | i have all my contacts i can even pull up the message part but it will not connect with them | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mopar: is your OS 64bit? | 03:05 |
| wawawee | connect as in call? | 03:05 |
| mopar | yes action | 03:06 |
| mopar | call or type wawa | 03:06 |
| limpc | hi guys. having a small issue with my bash prompt, im using a custom prompt ( PS1="$GREEN┌$DARKGRAY($PCT{$LOAD}$DARKGRAY)$GREEN─[$White$On_IBlue\w$NC$GREEN]─\n└$DARKGRAY($PCT\t$DARKGRAY)-($PCT\u$DARKGRAY@\h)$YELLOW $ $NC"). works fine, but it seems like the prompt is still "taking" up space equal to the length of my prompt, immediately to the right of the prompt | 03:06 |
| zosky | hi yall | 03:06 |
| goddard | i use Google at the moment but that may not be any better for some | 03:06 |
| wawawee | try killing it in task manager and relaunching it does that to me randomly | 03:06 |
| goddard | there are lots of VOIP services out there | 03:06 |
| limpc | so if i have a prompt of 50 chars and i type something, it wraps to the beginning of the prompt (overwritting the current prompt) 50 chars before the end of the last column | 03:06 |
| limpc | how do i fix that? | 03:06 |
| wawawee | i have no idea why im going to reinstall from the skype website now too... join me on this microshit quest | 03:06 |
| mopar | ok wawawee | 03:06 |
| mopar | where is task manager on a loinux os? | 03:06 |
| wawawee | i use gnome i have no idea | 03:07 |
| goddard | top | 03:07 |

| JermBob | other machines on my network do | 03:25 |

| JermBob | ActionParsnip i understand, just any other pc on my network set to the 10.0.0.100 dns works too | 03:27 |
| JermBob | just ubuntu needed it different obviously | 03:27 |

| ghostnik11 | goddard, yes | 03:39 |
| curiousx | sorry mah friend but in the BT world there is no teacher | 03:39 |

| ghostnik11 | goddard, it works from windows laptop and also another ubuntu 11.10 which is a thinkpad but not my compaq laptop | 03:40 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: It should either say on the printer, or have you scanned your internal network with a tool like nmap? | 03:40 |
| ghostnik11 | goddard, yep its the latest version and everything in synaptic | 03:40 |
| goddard | ghostnik11: ahh probably something just set incorrectly | 03:40 |
| curiousx | you have to lern by ypurself but ill give ya a good beginig: http://www.securitytube.net/ | 03:40 |
| ghostnik11 | kevdog, no never did a scan how can i do one? | 03:40 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: Let me look up the command since I don't do it everyday | 03:41 |
| G0ldfizzy | ghostnik11: try typing ifconfig in a terminal and see if the printer ip shows up | 03:42 |
| ghostnik11 | G0ldfizzy, thanks will do right away | 03:42 |
| kevdog | nmap 192.168.1.0/24 would do all ip addresses from 192.168.1.0->192.168.1.255 | 03:42 |
| ghostnik11 | G0ldfizzy, ifconfig just gave me the info on my laptop and not on network | 03:44 |

| curiousx | http://paste.ubuntu.com/903279/ | 03:50 |
| G0ldfizzy | curiousx: ahh right thanks. I am not sure if the printer was wireless but I would have logged into router to see where the traffic was going - probably the long way around it :\ | 03:51 |
| ghostnik11 | quick question must these be installed for me to get the printer detected on the network: Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client | 03:51 |
| ome | Where does the apt is keeping the package index files ? how can I force reload them ? | 03:52 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: What does sudo lpstat -t give you? | 03:53 |
| sacarlson | ome: sudo apt-get update; | 03:53 |
| curiousx | G0ldfizzy: another tool, sudo nast -m -i wlan0 | 03:53 |
| ghostnik11 | kevdog, shows no destination added | 03:53 |
| curiousx | G0ldfizzy: you wanna sniff the traffic going though the printer ? | 03:54 |
| curiousx | through* | 03:54 |
| G0ldfizzy | curiousx: I wouldn't mind knowing how to do that. I had ntop installed on my server but I am redoing it now so it is down. | 03:55 |
| ghostnik11 | kevdog, i don't get it, it works on ubuntu 11.10 on a thinkpad but doesn't work on a ubuntu 11.10 compaq prescario | 03:55 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: Not sure, but I'm looking some things up for you to add this printer via the command line | 03:56 |
| curiousx | ok to sniff the whole traffic in your LAN the best tool ever is "wireshark" | 03:57 |
| curiousx | only you have to filter the traffic you wanna see | 03:57 |
| ome | sacarlson: that doesn't help, I have messed things up. | 03:57 |
| G0ldfizzy | curiousx: don't know how to use it properly but would love to learn. | 03:57 |
| curiousx | let search into my files =P xD | 03:58 |
| sacarlson | curiousx: also if you network is switched you need to put wireshark on a system that is used as gateway to see most trafic and even with that not all if path is local to another node on the lan | 03:58 |
| kevdog | When you specifically scan the ip address of the printer, whats the output of nmap? | 03:58 |
| curiousx | =( i loss a lot of data i had the whole wiki of wireshark in mah hdd =( | 04:00 |
| curiousx | ye sacarlson | 04:01 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: When you specifically scan the ip address of the printer, whats the output of nmap? | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostnik11: if you put the IP in the add network printer app and click 'probe' is it detected? | 04:01 |
| curiousx | but wireshark is pretty easy only you have to click in the interface which is connected to the router let say wlan | 04:02 |
| G0ldfizzy | curiousx: is there a web UI for when using on a server? | 04:02 |
| G0ldfizzy | <- back in 5 | 04:03 |
| curiousx | no, i dont know about a web UI =( | 04:03 |
| ghostnik11 | ActionParsnip, it won't even let me select probe in the add network printer app, all it does is keep saying certain files have to be installed like: Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client | 04:03 |
| curiousx | but ther is a CLI tool called "tshark" wich is used for wireshark and another which is too good called "tcpdump" | 04:04 |

| ghostnik11 | kevdog, wait what are the commands to gain access to that file in gedit | 05:10 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: Try this as well sudo lpc -PCanon noholdall | 05:11 |
| ghostnik11 | kevdog, actually i just did it through nautilus will have it pastebined | 05:11 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: gksu gedit /etc/cups/printers.conf or sudo more /etc/cups/printers.conf | 05:12 |
| ghostnik11 | kevdog, here is pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/903357/ | 05:13 |
| ghostnik11 | kevdog, when i run sudo lpc -PCanon noholdall it says: -PCanon is not implemented by the CUPS version of lpc. | 05:14 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: I'm curious -- with your working computer -- is your /etc/cups/printers.conf the same | 05:14 |
| ActionParsnip | kevdog: why sudo more, users can read the file... | 05:15 |
| phy1729 | Is it possible to use pam to check password requirements on login not on password change? | 05:15 |

| quickbrownfox | Is it possible to remove the input text box for xchat? I'd like to have it more like irssi, where the input text area is a part of the chat log. | 05:16 |
| research4oscar | where can i read up on setting groups and users for /var/www | 05:18 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: In your gui -- if you right click on the printer name on either the windows, do you get an option to view print queue? | 05:18 |
| scottj | quickbrownfox: in irssi the input text area is separated from chat log by statusbars. | 05:19 |
| ghostnik11 | kevdog, no i don't get option to view print queue, to see what jobs are active i must go to show | 05:19 |
| quickbrownfox | scottj, okay. But is there any way to customize the input text area in xchat besides having it match the chat log in colours and font? | 05:20 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: No option to restart the job, reset the queue, reconnect printer, etc? | 05:20 |
| terminhell | ello ello | 05:20 |
| ghostnik11 | kevdog, also the other command gets the same response -pcanon is not implemented by the cups version of lpc | 05:20 |
| kevdog | ghostnik11: Ok forget that command then. | 05:20 |
| scottj | quickbrownfox: like what? | 05:21 |
| ghostnik11 | kevdog, nope, no option like that but in my thinkpad there are such options | 05:21 |
| quickbrownfox | scottj, anything to make it more minimal. Having it get rid of my username on the left for one. | 05:21 |
| quickbrownfox | Removing the bars that seperate it from the chat log would be SUPER. Getting rid of the modify text button on the right. | 05:21 |
| scottj | quickbrownfox: don't know, there's probably an xchat channel | 05:22 |
| terminhell | just use irssi :p | 05:22 |

| ghostnik11 | kevdog, its asking for a user name and password should i go ahead with this method or wait for socket method | 05:30 |

| ghostnik11 | kevdog, i think i am going to just accept the fact that the printer doesn't like the compaq and thats why it doesn't work | 05:49 |

| uBUXUBu | i wonder why it takes so long to pull up programs in unity-frsh install, dual core, 2g ram? | 06:16 |
| uBUXUBu | i like it but i gotta admit its slow | 06:17 |
| dr-willis | 'pull up programs' means? | 06:17 |
| uBUXUBu | apps i should say | 06:17 |
| dr-willis | 'pull up' means.... | 06:17 |
| l_r | heh | 06:17 |
| uBUXUBu | like i search, find an app i like click on it and...wait | 06:17 |
| uBUXUBu | app, program, built in software whatever the frick u like to call it sheez | 06:18 |
| uBUXUBu | click....wait....app appears | 06:18 |
| uBUXUBu | sometimes 3-5 seconds even | 06:18 |
| dr-willis | i understand the term app. just not clear on what you ment by pull up.. aparently you mean 'launch' | 06:19 |
| uBUXUBu | ok launch | 06:19 |
| dr-willis | if you launch the same app a second time. is it much faster | 06:20 |
| uBUXUBu | my cpu is not being stessed nor is my ram anywhere near used up i wonder why its so slow at launching an application | 06:20 |
| uBUXUBu | yes the 2nd time it is cahced i suppose | 06:20 |
| uBUXUBu | cached | 06:21 |
| dr-willis | that points to hd speeds being the issue. | 06:21 |
| uBUXUBu | hmmm | 06:21 |
| uBUXUBu | well it is a 5400rpmmmer | 06:21 |
| uBUXUBu | but its a duallshooter and we all know how slow vista is and it doesnt pull apps up as slow | 06:22 |
| dr-willis | hd's are the main bottleneck these days | 06:22 |
| uBUXUBu | but u know...i like unity enough that ill put up with it | 06:22 |
| uczen | hi | 06:22 |

| === Uplink is now known as Upl1nk | ||
| mi3 | I have a particular scenario, I have a dual boot system [ubuntu and xp], now xp aint working nicely[which I always expect when I come on windows]. so I wanna remove xp. The thing is, the boot.ini file of xp is on C drive and the actual Windows directories and the Program files are on E, so how can I remove the E drive and also the grub menu entry of xp? | 06:30 |
| Upl1nk | hi | 06:30 |
| dr-willis | delete/repartion the widows partitions and rerun update-grub | 06:31 |
| CFHowlett | mi3 as far as grub entries, just reinstall grub after you kill windows. No windows = no grub entry for windows | 06:31 |
| dr-willis | you are not using wubi are you? | 06:31 |
| CFHowlett | uplink greetings | 06:31 |
| mi3 | and what about that windows partition? should I just format it? | 06:32 |
| dr-willis | or resize the linux parts over it | 06:32 |
| CFHowlett | mi3 you can use gparted for that... | 06:32 |
| Upl1nk | @noosh you should perform a clean install of ubuntu, itś easier... if possible | 06:33 |
| noosh | lol | 06:33 |
| mi3 | thanks CFHowlett dr-willis | 06:33 |
| lotuspsychje | and loose the windows :p | 06:33 |
| CFHowlett | mi3 have fun / be safe | 06:33 |
| Upl1nk | of course | 06:33 |
| mi3 | heres another thing that came to my mind | 06:33 |
| mi3 | I wanna re install xp[I cant live without games], so when we install xp, the grub loader is removed, right? Is there any other way to recover it from windows?[I know boot-repair is the easy way] | 06:34 |

| josten | I downloaded GParted and looked at my partitions. I installed ubuntu 11.10 from the Ubuntu Unleashed 2012 Edition book that covers 11.10 and 12.04. Why is there a ntfs partition? Window XP Pro finds it, but there is nothing on the drive. Seems windows slowed down. I have 2 identical hd's. | 06:36 |
| mi3 | so, after installing windows, to save linux, i will need boot-repair.... | 06:36 |
| Gere | Pls guy I need your help I lost my file in ubuntu any one can help me | 06:36 |
| dr-willis | mi3 reinstall the grub bootloader | 06:37 |

| mi3 | yeah thats what i am gonna do dr-willis I am gonna use boot-repair from the live cd | 06:38 |
| BuisSse | is there a way I can remove all compiling related software after i have completed installing the application? | 06:38 |

| mi3 | thanks for refreshing and giving me some new tips, dr-willis | 06:39 |
| Upl1nk | @Gere http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/Unix/FindCmd.htm -> open terminal a use command find | 06:39 |
| noosh | sudo apt-get remove <package> I think | 06:39 |
| dr-willis | most apps need more then just 'build-essential' to compile | 06:40 |
| Gere | Ok I had one folder in Desktop file name is Desktop there was a lot of file in side the folder Desktop always I made hide when leave from my office{mv Desktop .Desktop} today i couldn't open my folder | 06:40 |
| * mi3 thinks, dont some people receive a "welcome" when someone thanks them? | 06:40 | |
| dr-willis | its easier to install meta packages.. then to remove all they pull in. | 06:40 |
| dr-willis | Gere: so your stuff is in the .Desktop dir? | 06:41 |
| noosh | mi3: how do you "think"? in irc? | 06:42 |
| BPADHEE | m having problem with libreoffice, pl help | 06:42 |

| rbrooks | thank you | 06:42 |
| BPADHEE | m having problem with libreoffice, pl help | 06:43 |
| BuisSse | for me the disk space is an issue | 06:43 |
| mi3 | welcome[for no apparent reason] | 06:43 |
| rbrooks | :D | 06:43 |
| BuisSse | build-essential install uses up around 68MB | 06:43 |
| dr-willis | why would you be moving desktop around ayway... | 06:43 |
| mi3 | did I help you in any way, rbrooks ? | 06:43 |
| BuisSse | remove strips off only some KB | 06:43 |
| noosh | BPADHEE: whats the problem? | 06:43 |
| rbrooks | yeah you made me re-consider that i may be rude | 06:43 |
| maximilius | BuisSse: i would go manually through the list of installed packages with aptitude e.g. and kick off those which you dont need | 06:44 |
| maximilius | BuisSse: there is also a dpkg.log in /var/log somewhere that should provide info which packages were installed for your compiling | 06:45 |
| maximilius | (i hopethere still is) | 06:45 |

| Upl1nk | mrcellfizh Synaptic Package Manager maybe? | 06:49 |

| rajarshi | wat r tthings i shud update now?? | 07:10 |
| mtrd_ | ActionParsnip, oneiric. | 07:10 |

| ActionParsnip | rajarshi: and the output of: java -version | 07:10 |
| mr-squidley | start with java mate and work your way through to your jar ActionParsnip has provided a good starting point | 07:10 |

| dc5ala | rajarshi, can you give me the link to it? My guess is, that something in the jar is broken, or not complete. E.g. missing the manifest file or with bad main class | 07:16 |

| curiousx | Krasik: we have to go at #ubuntu+1 | 07:21 |
| Krasik | Okay | 07:21 |
| konaya | ibiwor, yup. I suppose it goes without saying that you do this without a lot of processes in the background and so on and so forth. | 07:21 |
| konaya | ibiwor, also, don't forget to remove the old swap entry in /etc/fstab when you write the new entry. The ability to boot the system is quite handy to keep. | 07:23 |
| ibiwor | konaya: Yes. So I can first run swapoff command then uncomment the swap parition from fstab before following the above forum post, ok? | 07:23 |

| ibiwor | konaya: Yea, comment* :) | 07:24 |
| bazhang | yoshie, no caps | 07:24 |
| konaya | yoshie, checked the BIOS for proper boot order and so on? | 07:24 |
| SugarCube | mr-squidley: Woo, that worked with a little bit of trying. :) | 07:24 |
| konaya | bazhang, I think it was a verbatim quote | 07:24 |
| mr-squidley | SugarCube: this often do mate. First stop google i always say | 07:25 |
| yoshie | konaya: yes bios seems to be good | 07:25 |
| konaya | disappearedng, don't you mean incoming port in that case? From your point of view, that is | 07:25 |
| disappearedng | well I know my port won't be blocked for sure | 07:25 |
| disappearedng | I just wanna make sure that my user's port won't be blocked as well | 07:26 |
| konaya | yoshie, hm. Have you tried reinstalling GRUB from a Live CD? | 07:26 |
| disappearedng | wait how does connection accepting work. Let say there's A and B and if A wants to connect to B at port 8888 does A need to have some kind of unblocked port 8888? | 07:26 |
| SugarCube | Already went through the first two pages of Google results. Anyway, seems to be working now. | 07:26 |
| yoshie | konaya: no i have no, is there any way you can walk me threw that? im pretty new to linux | 07:26 |
| anthropos | disappearedng, when a remote computer tries to connect to your computer on port 8888, it can be blocked by you (e.g. if you have a firewall) or your isp (e.g. if they block traffic to this port) | 07:27 |
| anthropos | these are the most likely reasons it might be blocked | 07:27 |
| konaya | disappearedng, it is fairly uncommon for outgoing ports to be blocked willy-nilly. If you want to be totally sure, put the service on a port which is often used for other things | 07:27 |
| anthropos | i think he means incoming when he says outgoing | 07:27 |
| anthropos | since he's talking about his computer being a server and so on | 07:27 |
| disappearedng | konaya: I am just doing a beta launch, no biggie I doubt it will be blocked | 07:27 |
| anthropos | if you want to know if its likely to be blocked you can look what service is there by default | 07:28 |
| konaya | anthropos, he also could mean "is it common for corporate IT heads to fascistically block outgoing ports?" :) | 07:28 |

What would be the best way of implementing that? I'm thinking about ejabberd xmpp-server, but have no experience of it. Any thoughts? | 07:28 |
| disappearedng | OK to clear confusion: A is a server, B is a client and needs to connect to A's port 8888. What's the chance that B cannot connect to A due to some firewall restriction or w/e | 07:28 |
| konaya | yoshie, in that case I'd need some background information. You bought a new drive, right? Did it replace your old drive or is the old drive still installed? | 07:29 |
| anthropos | check what service is normally on 8888, but i doubt its blocked. | 07:29 |
| disappearedng | what about universities? | 07:29 |
| anthropos | as konaya says, blocking outgoing ports is unusual | 07:29 |
| anthropos | occasionally isps will block traffic thats outgoing to port 25 and such | 07:29 |
| konaya | disappearedng, no universities worth going to blocks outgoing ports. Heck, my university doesn't block *incoming* ports, and we do not NAT :D | 07:30 |
| disappearedng | ok I will use something like 64k+ | 07:30 |
| sveinse | I'm running natty and lately I'm always forced to run "sudo update-binfmts --enable qemu-arm" when I'm about to run armel code on intel. Is there a change in policy of late regarding this since it's constantly disabled? | 07:30 |
| disappearedng | ok that's a good enough sample thanks guys | 07:30 |
| yoshie | konaya: I had a 500gb hard drive in the computer before, so i took it out and upgraded to a 2TB , this is also a Intel pent mother board, so i only have the 2TB installed right now, the drive is brand new and works, i has no problem with windows 7 or with mandriva linux , it only has a problem with ubuntu and fedora. | 07:30 |
| anthropos | ports that will almost certainly not be blocked are https, etc. | 07:30 |
| anthropos | unless you live in iran or something. | 07:31 |
| konaya | yoshie, and you have installed Ubuntu on this new drive? (Sorry, need to ask) | 07:31 |
| anthropos | is it a gpt or msdos partition table | 07:31 |
| yoshie | konaya: yes the new drive has ubuntu installed, right now its booting up the live cd to get me to the live desktop | 07:31 |
| konaya | anthropos, port 22 outgoing is not blocked from China to Sweden, so I doubt Iran is any worse :P | 07:32 |
| anthropos | iran blocked https for awhile | 07:32 |
| konaya | Oh, really? | 07:32 |
| konaya | Silly. | 07:32 |
| bazhang | sveinse, tried in #ubuntu-arm ? your question seems it might get better answers there | 07:32 |
| anthropos | yeah, not presently, but back when there were demonstrations and so on | 07:32 |
| konaya | yoshie, which version, by the way? | 07:32 |
| yoshie | konaya: newest one 11.10 64 bit | 07:33 |
| bazhang | yoshie, single or dual boot, regular or Wubi | 07:33 |
| bazhang | yoshie, has it *ever* successfully booted on this new drive | 07:33 |
| yoshie | bazhang: single, dedicated all to ubuntu :) | 07:33 |
| yoshie | bazhang: successfully booted ubuntu? no, windows ? yes, mandriva? yes | 07:34 |
| konaya | yoshie, okay. I will privmsg you the commands so we do not spam the channel | 07:34 |
| bazhang | konaya, PM? | 07:34 |
| bazhang | yoshie, so there were others on there? | 07:35 |
| yoshie | bazhang: yes, however i formated and did a clean install of ubuntu | 07:35 |
| bazhang | yoshie, and you installed ubuntu and it has never successfully booted? | 07:35 |
| konaya | bazhang, on IRC it's privmsg or query, depending, but yeah same principle. | 07:35 |
| yoshie | bazhang: correct | 07:35 |
| bazhang | konaya, just wondering why you cannot share the instructions in channel here | 07:36 |
| Coke | Hi. I have a shell script in ~/bin/myscript.sh, is it possible to make it available when searching in "Home" and possibly put it in the launcher? | 07:38 |

| Coke | Kotus: when I search for it, it's nowhere | 07:38 |
| mun | hi | 07:38 |
| mun | does anyone know how to check what model my motherboard is? | 07:38 |
| Coke | Kotus: I have made myscript.desktop in .local/share/appliactions | 07:38 |
| Coke | Kotus: it doesnt show up when searching nor can I put it in the launcher | 07:39 |
| Kotus | Coke, export PATH=$PATH:/home/name/bin i think | 07:40 |
| mun | nvm | 07:40 |
| fidel | mun: an easy way is usually to open up the box - in case you can access it ;) | 07:41 |
| mun | or, sudo dmidecode -t baseboard | 07:41 |
| fidel | ;) | 07:41 |
| Kotus | Coke, i dont think ~/bin/ gets included so you can add export PATH=.. to ~/.bash_profile ( or ~/.bashrc ) | 07:41 |
| Kotus | Coke, if you don't understand do echo $PATH :) | 07:42 |
| Coke | Kotus: thats not what im asking for | 07:43 |

| Coke | Kotus: using what? | 07:46 |
| Kotus | file manager | 07:46 |
| Kotus | to unity panel | 07:46 |
| dreamsr | will somebody help me? its urgent | 07:47 |
| Kotus | dreamsr, did you mount them | 07:47 |
| dreamsr | it mounts as read only | 07:47 |
| Coke | Kotus: unfortunately, it doesnt show hidden dirs | 07:47 |
| Coke | or files | 07:47 |
| Kotus | i see | 07:47 |
| spajderix | I've updated firefox to 11 under 10.04 64bit and it does not load pages or display plugins/proxy settings, can anybody help me with that? | 07:47 |
| dreamsr | i guess i need help with mounting | 07:48 |
| Coke | Kotus: and my desktop file is in ~/.local/share/applications | 07:48 |
| Coke | (where someobody on some ubuntu forum said apps should go) | 07:48 |
| Kotus | sorry , i can't help you | 07:48 |
| Coke | So does anybody know how to make a custom .desktop file in the launcher or in a menu or ANYTHING in the UI? | 07:48 |
| Kotus | dreamsr, can you send me /etc/mtab | 07:49 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Hey guys. How can I confirm whether the swap partition is working or not? :S | 07:49 |
| faryshta | This is a more hardware related problem. My computer fan died. What to do? | 07:49 |
| Abhijit | Mayazcherquoi, system monitor? | 07:50 |
| lgx | just free -m | 07:50 |
| tonysanv | what's the downside of shutdown -n (skip init) ? | 07:50 |
| dreamsr | Kotus, i cant | 07:50 |
| dreamsr | i just need to know how to mount hd to write to it | 07:50 |
| dreamsr | and my problem is solved | 07:51 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Abhijit, Okay. Well, that just says "0 bytes". The reason why I query is because the partition type is listed as "unknown" :-/ | 07:51 |
| Kotus | they should be mounted rw | 07:51 |
| Kotus | automatically | 07:51 |
| Kotus | are they ntfs? | 07:51 |
| dreamsr | they are ext3 | 07:51 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Abhijit, And it isn't mounted | 07:51 |
| dreamsr | i f*d up with my fstab | 07:52 |
| dreamsr | so debian wont boot | 07:52 |
| dreamsr | i need to edit my fstab to fix it | 07:52 |
| Kotus | send the fstab | 07:52 |
| dreamsr | and livecd wont let save it | 07:52 |
| Kotus | it will, it will | 07:52 |
| lgx | Mayazcherquoi, you can't mount a swap part. just swapon it | 07:52 |
| Kotus | about that mtab | 07:53 |
| Coke | Kotus: for next time, here's how to do it http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/11/create-desktop-shortcuts-icons-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ | 07:53 |
| Coke | Kotus: you can then drag and drop | 07:53 |
| Kotus | ok! | 07:53 |
| Coke | I also had to manually remove the ubuntu one item from the messages menu. | 07:53 |
| Coke | I guess Ubuntu, just like Apple, is going for a non-customizable, software stack "buy our services now!" type of setup with unity. | 07:53 |
| Kotus | back to debian then~~ | 07:54 |
| anthropos | to be fair, it's quire easy to switch to a different desktop environment | 07:54 |
| anthropos | i don't use unity | 07:54 |
| bazhang | !ot | Coke | 07:54 |
| ubottu | Coke: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:54 |
| Coke | anthropos: except I think the concepts of unity is good | 07:54 |
| tonysanv | unity is kinda suck... | 07:54 |
| anthropos | I don't personally care for it but I can see the value in what they are trying to achieve | 07:55 |
| Kotus | i use enlightenment | 07:55 |
| Coke | anthropos: however, it's a hazzle just to add your own program to the launcher and its a hazzle to remove what canonical is trying to push | 07:55 |
| anthropos | i just did sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and then logged out and back in | 07:55 |
| Kotus | maybe touchscreens are better for unity | 07:55 |
| fidel | anthropos: good point ;) | 07:55 |
| Coke | anthropos: same problem with Nokia | 07:56 |
| Kotus | what do you think > #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:56 |
| fidel | dont whine about preinstalled software - change them if you think they su** | 07:56 |
| mr-squidley | desktop and window managers are not permanent the beauty off linux is choice | 07:56 |
| Coke | It's as if everyone is looking at the billions of dollars Apple is making and thinking "AHA! So software stacking is better than usability and choice" | 07:56 |
| bazhang | lets get back to support; chit chat in the offtopic channel | 07:56 |
| bazhang | Coke, ? | 07:56 |
| Coke | im off anyways, have the launcher working with the help of gnome-panel | 07:57 |

| faryshta | Abhijit, bazhang thanks | 08:00 |
| Kotus | dreamsr, how is it going? | 08:01 |
| gridbag | i see how you can drag-drop an example.desktop file into the unity bar to install it. how do you do that from the command-line? | 08:03 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Just wondering. In a VMWare virtual machine where you want the guest OS to install to a physical partition, it has complete access to the entire disk (and can see all partitions). If I install to an empty one, can that overwrite my bootloader, etc? | 08:12 |
| bazhang | Mayazcherquoi, you may want to confirm in #vmware , but I would suspect yes | 08:14 |
| Mayazcherquoi | bazhang, Yeah, I just realised that channel existed. I asked, but no response thus far :( | 08:14 |
| Jordan_U | Mayazcherquoi: I believe that VMWare only maps blocks from the partition you specify to the virtual machine, and creates fake (will only return zero, or a copy of the partition table) areas for everything else, but that is only a guess. | 08:15 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Jordan_U, Okay. | 08:15 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Jordan_U: I saw this: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_disk_raw_install_os.html - but not entirely sure what to make of it (my jargon dictionary may not interpret this correctly :-/) | 08:16 |
| elbrinke | Need help with running a .sh (shell) script as deamon… any assistance | 08:17 |
| medwards | Hey folks, is anyone else having problems with the latest compat-wireless release with the new kernel package? | 08:17 |
| elbrinke | the .sh script must run continue sly in the background | 08:17 |
| medwards | Wireless on my macbook pro 8,2 seems to cut out now. It says connected but no DNS requests work and I can't see signal strength for any other network | 08:18 |
| dr_willis | elbrinke: make a different script that moitors ps output every min or so. and reruns the service... is one way | 08:19 |
| elbrinke | ok, any other ways | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | probly a dozen other waysa | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | depends on the details | 08:19 |
| elbrinke | i searched google, but lots of non-helping articles | 08:20 |
| lgx | use upstart? | 08:20 |
| dr_willis | proper way would be to make an actual upstart .conf for it | 08:21 |
| elbrinke | upstart? | 08:21 |
| dr_willis | !upstart | 08:21 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 08:21 |
| dr_willis | what is this script doing exactly? | 08:22 |
| elbrinke | the idea of the script is to run vlc in the background without a guy to listen to a multicast stream. | 08:23 |
| elbrinke | so when the stream is active the vlc instance running in the background shows the stream and then closes.. | 08:23 |
| elbrinke | but the script must be able to either restart vlc after session closed or just continue to run after streaming window closed | 08:24 |
| elbrinke | hope that helps.. | 08:24 |
| dr_willis | i thought 'vls' handled that task. part of the vlc tools.. | 08:25 |
| elbrinke | nah… let me show you the script file | 08:25 |
| elbrinke | #!/bin/sh | 08:25 |
| elbrinke | vlc rtp://@239.255.10.1 --fullscreen --qt-minimal-view --qt-start-minimized --no | 08:25 |
| elbrinke | -qt-video-autoresize --no-qt-fs-controller | 08:25 |
| elbrinke | #!/bin/sh | 08:26 |
| elbrinke | vlc rtp://@239.255.10.1 --fullscreen --qt-minimal-view --qt-start-minimized --no -qt-video-autoresize --no-qt-fs-controller | 08:26 |
| elbrinke | what happens is that this script start up vlc without gui and only shows the vlc icon on task bar when running.. | 08:26 |
| elbrinke | ity listens to a multicast stream on multicast ip address as seem above | 08:27 |
| elbrinke | ok, so any ideas guys | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | what if theres no x session going.... | 08:27 |
| elbrinke | all i need to do is to get the script to run continuesly | 08:27 |
| anthropos | you could try to use inetd | 08:28 |
| dr_willis | make a script that monitors ps output . may be easiest. thats not really a normal way to do a 'service' | 08:28 |
| dr_willis | make a script that runs ps ax | grep vlc ( or similer) to see if the vlc is running.. if not start it.. is one way. | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | bas scripting guide may have neater examples | 08:31 |
| elbrinke | ooh | 08:31 |
| dr_willis | you are not really doing a normal 'service' | 08:31 |
| anthropos | yes, it's pretty kludgey | 08:31 |
| j0rd | I've upgraded to 11.10 recently and one thing I've noticed is drag and drop in the browser rarely works | 08:31 |
| anthropos | not that there's anything wrong with that per se | 08:31 |
| anthropos | it's just not the "right" way to do it | 08:31 |
| j0rd | it seems like unity is stealing the focus, instead of allowing the browsers to use it | 08:31 |

| bazhang | flamen, whats your ubuntu support question | 08:57 |
| bazhang | Mashr000m, sure you are using the correct case and package name? | 08:58 |
| meerkats | i cannot change icon size with compiz, nor can I reduce the size of files and folders in any of my directories (home and so on) | 09:00 |
| meerkats | 11.10 3.0.17 | 09:00 |
| azimut | hi. i cannot update my system because /boot is full. seems there are a lot of old kernel files. what is the recommended way to clean this up? | 09:00 |
| meerkats | unity | 09:00 |
| bazhang | meerkats, icon size of what | 09:01 |
| bazhang | azimut, package manager to remove some, best to keep at least one spare though | 09:01 |
| popey | azimut: dpkg -l 'linux-image*', and then 'apt-get remove --purge linux-image....' whichever old ones you don't want/need | 09:01 |
| meerkats | bazhang, of both the left icon panel in unity (with compiz experimental, theoretically) and the size of reguler files and folders (home folder, via edit-preferences) | 09:01 |
| bazhang | meerkats, try in #compiz yet? | 09:02 |
| meerkats | bazhang, launcher I mean (left icon panel= | 09:02 |
| Mashr000m | bazhang, my version 1:1.3-1ubuntu6 should be the oldest one | 09:02 |
| meerkats | bazhang, yes, compiz experimetanl wont make any difference | 09:02 |
| bazhang | meerkats, sounds like a ccsm setting | 09:02 |
| meerkats | a, sorry | 09:02 |
| bazhang | Mashr000m, what exactly are you trying to tab complete but failing at | 09:03 |
| azimut | bazhang: popey: thank you. I'm a bit surprised that the old kernels didn't get auto-removed. is this a kernel specific problem or does it happen to other packages too (i mean that when updating a package, the old versions isn't removed) | 09:03 |
| bazhang | azimut, how big did you set /boot | 09:04 |
| bazhang | azimut, afaik setting /boot is a manual partitioning option | 09:04 |
| Mashr000m | bazhang, first programs then files in directory | 09:05 |
| azimut | bazhang: not big, 200 mb. should be enough for the booting stuff. did this because the rest of the system is encrypted | 09:05 |
| anthropos | is there a good reason for most people to have a separate /boot partition anymore? | 09:05 |
| bazhang | azimut, so how much did you give to your /boot | 09:05 |
| anthropos | ah, there you go | 09:05 |
| bazhang | anthropos, perhaps when btrfs was just being rolled out yeah | 09:05 |
| Mashr000m | bazhang, I mean i just want press TAB one time not 2 times | 09:06 |
| bazhang | azimut, okay, well I give mine a bit more around 500 | 09:06 |
| bazhang | Mashr000m, not sure how to do that, it might take twice as far as I know | 09:07 |
| anthropos | you can usually resize with gparted easily, but I don't know about encrypted disks | 09:07 |
| Mashr000m | lol | 09:07 |
| anthropos | obviously back up your data before doing so if you don't already | 09:07 |
| Wingede | anthropos: if your using lvm you would keep your boot partition seperate as grub can't see it otherwise | 09:07 |
| bazhang | Mashr000m, whats funny | 09:07 |
| azimut | bazhang: I came from gentoo there I always had 30 mb which was more than enough (only for the up-to-date kernel of course) | 09:07 |
| anthropos | Wingede, another good reason | 09:07 |
| Jordan_U | azimut: This problem is specific to kernel packages. | 09:07 |
| azimut | Jordan_U: thanks | 09:07 |
| Jordan_U | azimut: You're welcome. | 09:07 |
| Mashr000m | i mean not fun i just learning IRC | 09:08 |
| Jordan_U | Wingede: anthropos: Actually, grub2 does support LVM just fine. | 09:08 |
| bazhang | Mashr000m, we are talking about bash tab complete, right? not irc tab completion | 09:08 |
| James_WB | where do i find the home directory in natty narwhale ? | 09:09 |
| Mashr000m | bazhang, no not IRC | 09:09 |
| bazhang | James_WB, pardon? | 09:09 |

| anthropos | does the ubuntu installer make a boot partition by default? | 09:10 |
| Mashr000m | bazhang, like it does zsh by default | 09:10 |
| bazhang | anthropos, no | 09:10 |
| anthropos | James_WB, /home/your_user_name_here | 09:10 |
| bazhang | anthropos, if you mean ubiquity | 09:11 |
| Wingede | Jordan_U: ahh I see grub 1.95> supports it.. sheesh just become standard practice at work lol | 09:11 |
| Mashr000m | but i don't want to learn zsh )) | 09:11 |
| bazhang | the debain-installer can easily though anthropos | 09:11 |
| Jordan_U | James_WB: In what context? Are you trying to access your home directory from the terminal or from nautilus, (the graphical file browser which comes by default in Ubuntu)? | 09:11 |
| anthropos | bazhang, yes, I mean ubiquity. | 09:11 |
| anthropos | I know you can make one without any issues, even via ubiquity, I was just curious if it did by default | 09:11 |

| bazhang | James_WB, extract to there why exactly, what are you trying to do | 09:13 |
| James_WB | those are the instructions i have the file type is .tar.gz | 09:13 |
| bazhang | James_WB, instructions for what | 09:14 |
| James_WB | I just need to know how to extract a file to the home directory and if i need root privileges to do it | 09:15 |
| thomas__ | I believe James_WB is trying to extract a file, and the instructions he is reading is telling him to extract it into his home directory. | 09:15 |

| daggs123 | my setup is nis based but I cannot connect after nis upgrade | 09:16 |
| bazhang | James_WB, you got the commands; whats the package name | 09:16 |
| Mashr000m | oh thanks for advise | 09:17 |
| daggs123 | I get ypbind restart failed when I try to configure it | 09:17 |
| Jordan_U | James_WB: Whatever you're trying to install, it's likely that there is a much easier (and safer) way to go about installing it. Compiling from source, or even extracting pre-compiled binaries from a tar.gz file, is not recommended. | 09:17 |
| daggs123 | any ideas how to solve it? | 09:17 |
| James_WB | cant i do it through the gui , i dont how the command works | 09:17 |
| bazhang | James_WB, any reason we cannot know the package name? | 09:18 |
| James_WB | uh its an rp-pppoe client | 09:18 |
| fidel | bazhang: thanks for the abs-hint - dindt knew that one | 09:18 |
| Jordan_U | James_WB: If you want to use only the GUI, then you have even more reason than most to stay away from tar.gz files. | 09:18 |
| bazhang | welcome | 09:18 |
| James_WB | i just need to do it , Jordan_U , im not sure on how to do it , thats why im asking. also i dont understand the tar zxvf your_file.tar.gz command | 09:19 |
| bazhang | James_WB, got the link? | 09:20 |
| mr-squidley | tar zxvf equal unzip look up the flags using man tar and you willl learn what you need to know | 09:20 |
| James_WB | 2.Download rp-pppoe client from :http://www.roaringpenguin.com/files/download/rp-pppoe-3.10.tar.gz Extract it to your home directory Open a teminal Enter command : cd rp-pppoe-3.10 Enter command : sudo ./go-gui (after this command pppoe client is compiled and started.close the window that appears after compilation) | 09:21 |
| Jordan_U | James_WB: pppoe is rarely actually needed, and there are pppoe packages for Ubuntu which are actually supported here and easy to install. | 09:21 |
| bazhang | James_WB, use the software center to install that | 09:21 |
| James_WB | should i install or extract ? im confused | 09:22 |
| bazhang | install from ubuntu software repositiories James_WB | 09:22 |
| mr-squidley | Jordan_U has a good point James_wb the whole point of ubuntu is to make things easier no shame in using GUI | 09:23 |

| ackbahr | I know this will look like a stupid question, but I'm looking for a windows manager that would look like Windows Vista for my wife's session. I found lot of themes and tweaks but they are all for Gnome 2. So a way to install gnome2 on ubuntu 12.04 would already be a big help. Thanks! | 09:40 |
| ritz | me-- it does | 09:40 |
| ritz | ackbahr, probably kde ? | 09:41 |
| ritz | it is the only I know, which is massively customizable | 09:41 |
| anthropos | ackbahr, gnome 2 can exist happily on ubuntu 12.04 and it can coexist with unity or whatever. | 09:41 |
| ackbahr | ritz: Ah you're right, if I tweak of find a theme for KDE.... | 09:41 |
| ackbahr | anthropos: I supposed so, but I didn't find how to install it. | 09:42 |
| anthropos | I think if you just install it from the repositories you can pick when you log in, and that will be that. | 09:42 |
| Jordan_U | ackbahr: I know this isn't answering you directly, but if you're trying to do this to make your wife have an easier time or trick her I think both are bad ideas and will fail. If it's to make her life easier, you're never going to make GNU/Linux behave enough like Windows for there to be no learning curve, in trying though you will make the interface *more* complicated and less consistent. If you're trying to trick her into not noticing that you've ... | 09:42 |
| anthropos | i don't know what the package names are | 09:42 |
| Jordan_U | ... changed anything, that is dishonest and will probably also fail. | 09:42 |
| anthropos | perhaps someone else does | 09:42 |
| bazhang | !notunity | anthropos | 09:43 |
| ubottu | anthropos: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 09:43 |
| anthropos | there you go, gnome-panel | 09:43 |
| ackbahr | Jordan_U: There's no learning curve here, believe me. And I don't trick my wife. | 09:43 |
| Jordan_U | ackbahr: What is your goal in making Ubuntu look like Vista? | 09:44 |
| ackbahr | anthropos: Already installed it, it's a gnome2 aspect for gnome3 (so theme installers don't accept it). | 09:44 |
| bazhang | ackbahr, gnome-panel, try it | 09:44 |
| ackbahr | Jordan_U: To stop the complaints. | 09:44 |
| anthropos | is gnome-panel really not gnome 2? hard to believe | 09:45 |
| ackbahr | bazhang: Already installed it, it's a gnome2 aspect for gnome3 (so theme installers don't accept it). | 09:45 |

| himsin | hi, I want to extract info from a xml file. for example <abcd alge tag="123", xyz , tag2="245"/>, Then I want the tag and tag2 variables containing corresponding values | 10:39 |
| himsin | using bash tools | 10:39 |
| fearmenot | hey gents! | 10:39 |
| himsin | like grep, sed, awk etc | 10:40 |
| mun_ | i keep getting an error "failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED" in the syslog even on the live usb. does anyone know how to fix it? | 10:40 |
| fearmenot | quick annoying question .. | 10:40 |
| fearmenot | ok not really | 10:40 |
| fearmenot | mount zfs raidz created in freenas ... | 10:40 |
| fearmenot | anyone has done it? | 10:40 |
| MonkeyDust | himsin like you say: use grep, sed and awk, but better ask in the channel #bash | 10:40 |
| himsin | oksy | 10:41 |
| mr-squidley | freenas is a bsd varient so it should support ZFS ... a little off topic for the ubuntu channel but | 10:41 |
| MonkeyDust | a "quick question" is usually unbelievably difficult to answer | 10:41 |
| mr-squidley | MonkeyDust: like that one haha | 10:42 |
| fearmenot | well ... if anyone can solve this .. pizza on me lol | 10:42 |
| auronandace | !zfs | fearmenot | 10:42 |
| ubottu | fearmenot: For information concerning ZFS and Ubuntu, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS | 10:42 |
| shvelo | Ahoy! Ubuntuers | 10:43 |
| fearmenot | yes but the question is can this be safely performed on a 100% functioning zfs pool .. | 10:43 |
| shvelo | Any way to dual-boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu? | 10:43 |
| mr-squidley | fearmenot: havent used ZFS since solaris apprentley its pretty well supported amongst BSD varients have you tried a bsd channel | 10:44 |
| fearmenot | Helo shvelo | 10:44 |
| fearmenot | mr-squidley .. your missing the point | 10:44 |
| fearmenot | its working fine in bsd .. | 10:44 |
| chander | hi how r u ? | 10:44 |
| fearmenot | my problem is i need to mount that sucker in ubuntu or any other distro to write to a hfs volume | 10:44 |
| mr-squidley | fearmenot: haha sorry mate i really did miss you point... | 10:45 |
| fearmenot | mr-squidley: It's all good .. | 10:45 |
| mun_ | if Disk utility finds 1 "Reallocated Sector" should i do anything about it? | 10:46 |
| JJC | Ok I'm back. | 10:47 |
| fearmenot | mr-squidley: basically I have a FreeNAS box with some data on it .. and I need to shove that data onto a RAID5 array running of an ATTO R380 card with a HFS volume .. not an issue to do it over LAN but I need to do this in 2 days and the FreeNAS box only has a singe Gb NIC .. | 10:47 |
| JJC | Just before I delete something crucial, should I just delete line 54 (the one with the error) of my sources.list? | 10:47 |
| fearmenot | mr-squidley: ie. a painful 40Hour tour to get 16TB of data across | 10:47 |
| auronandace | JJC: what does the line say? | 10:47 |
| MonkeyDust | fearmenot your 'quick question' is a bit beyond this channel, i guess | 10:48 |
| mr-squidley | try this page https://launchpad.net/~zfs-native/+archive/stable/.... its how to add zfs support too ubuntu | 10:48 |
| JJC | deb http://archive.canonical.com/lucid partner. | 10:48 |
| ibiwor | Hello! What's the difference between ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso and ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso? | 10:48 |
| mr-squidley | ibiwor 64bit archetechture or 32bit | 10:49 |
| fearmenot | MonkeyDust: I was hoping someone might be crazy enough to try and mount freenas created zfs pools and write to hfs lol | 10:49 |
| auronandace | JJC: are you using anything from the partner repo? | 10:49 |
| MonkeyDust | ibiwor 64 runs on 64 bit hardware only, but 32 runs on both 32 and 64 bit hardware | 10:49 |
| JJC | Sorry, I don't even know what that means... Very new to Linux. | 10:49 |
| auronandace | JJC: you must have added the partner repo to use software in there (like sunjava) | 10:50 |
| darkcry | how about backtrack | 10:50 |
| auronandace | JJC: you are using 10.04? | 10:50 |
| JJC | But if it helps I'm running Mythbuntu... | 10:50 |
| JJC | Yep. | 10:50 |
| mr-squidley | fearmenot: haha im afraid this is a channel where the CLI is difficult sometimes bahaha but good luck | 10:51 |
| ibiwor | mr-squidley: MonkeyDust : Ok, 64bit backward compatible with 32 bit. So, only instruction set is to be checked before installing or the processor other specs/make matters? | 10:51 |
| JJC | Oh, I tried to install Java, yes, but I got the error message. | 10:51 |
| shvelo | braainnssss | 10:51 |
| mun_ | does anyone know if western digital's warranty covers "reallocated sectors"? | 10:51 |
| JJC | auronandace: I get this error whenever I try to install anything: E: Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) E: The list of sources could not be read. | 10:52 |
| auronandace | JJC: yeah, you said, and you also showed us that line 54 is the partner repo | 10:52 |
| MonkeyDust | ibiwor please rephrase that question, it's hard to read | 10:52 |
| JJC | Ok, wasn't sure you were on before. | 10:53 |
| JJC | So what should I do...? | 10:53 |
| ibiwor | MonkeyDust : Only instruction set is to be checked before installing? | 10:53 |
| auronandace | JJC: you need to make sure you aren't using anything from that repo (if you are then uninstall them) | 10:53 |
| user1 | hi,how to setup MediaWiki in ubuntu 10.04 as realtime scenario (not for localhost), pls help me | 10:54 |
| MonkeyDust | ibiwor what instruction set exactly? | 10:54 |
| auronandace | JJC: then you can remove that line | 10:54 |
| JJC | I haven't installed anything. At all. I've tried to install a heap of things, but nothing has worked. | 10:54 |
| ibiwor | MonkeyDust: By instruction I mean, whether the processor supports 32-bit or 6bit | 10:54 |
| auronandace | JJC: i've never used mythbuntu so i don't know what you have installed though | 10:54 |
| MonkeyDust | ibiwor still not geting it, where or when do you have to specify that? | 10:55 |
| JJC | Ok will it help at all if I tell you what I've attempted to install? | 10:55 |
| auronandace | JJC: so this is a fresh install of mythbuntu? | 10:56 |
| mr-squidley | ibiwor: what processor do you have and how much ram in gb? | 10:56 |
| JJC | Completely. | 10:56 |
| JJC | As of about 2 hours ago. | 10:56 |
| JJC | All I have tried to do is install Java, and install gEdit. | 10:56 |
| auronandace | JJC: ah, so i assume that partner repo is there by default on mythbuntu | 10:57 |
| ibiwor | MonkeyDust: No, sorry. I'm actually wondering what all things I need to check before actually installing Ubuntu. My processor says lists instruction set as 64bit. So usually while selecting the options in Ubuntu download page I just need to confirm system's intruction set and nothing else? | 10:57 |
| auronandace | JJC: can you pastebin the whole sources.list please? | 10:58 |
| fearmenot | wish me luck gents !! .. | 10:58 |
| JJC | Ok. Just FYI, that last line, (deb http://archive.canonical.com/lucid partner is there twice. | 10:58 |
| mr-squidley | fearmenot: good luck your gunna need it | 10:58 |
| MonkeyDust | ibiwor ah, so you want to know what version you have to download? that depends on your hardware | 10:58 |
| JJC | Ok give me one moment. | 10:58 |
| fearmenot | mr-squidley: .. errr great .. not something will go wrong for sure .... and if it does ... YOU JINXED IT!! lol | 10:59 |
| fearmenot | now* | 10:59 |
| mr-squidley | fearmenot: touch wood is the term i believe | 10:59 |
| fearmenot | ... dw, i;ve kelled few rabbits and sacraficed a few goats just to be safe as well | 11:00 |
| mr-squidley | good man | 11:00 |

| JJC | auronandace: http://pastebin.com/ph94tADr | 11:02 |
| auronandace | JJC: hmm, you can try commenting the last 2 lines then sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade | 11:05 |
| auronandace | JJC: to comment a line just put a # infront of it | 11:05 |
| JJC | Ok... Sorry for a terrible question, but how do I edit within nano? | 11:06 |
| auronandace | JJC: arrow keys to move then just type what you need where you need it | 11:06 |
| mr-squidley | just add it in and hit ctrl x at the end. agree twice and your done | 11:07 |
| auronandace | JJC: ctrl x will ask if you want to save | 11:07 |
| auronandace | JJC: also make sure you are editing the file with sudo nano | 11:07 |
| JJC | So sudo nano etc/apt/sources.list? | 11:08 |
| auronandace | JJC: you missed the / before etc, but yes | 11:08 |
| JJC | Ok running get update now. Internet is slow so may take a min. | 11:10 |
| JJC | Ah. Done, now get upgrade... | 11:11 |
| JJC | Ok done... | 11:11 |
| JJC | Should I try installing something now? | 11:11 |
| mr-squidley | yep try gedit | 11:12 |
| auronandace | JJC: yes | 11:12 |
| JJC | Will do... | 11:12 |
| mr-squidley | then you never have to use nano again :D | 11:12 |
| lupilupi | HELLO I HAVE A QUESTION | 11:13 |

| ubottu | lupilupi: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 11:13 |
| lupilupi | HOW DO I GET IT OFF | 11:13 |
| mr-squidley | MonkeyDust: agreed but im all for GUI less questions | 11:13 |
| JJC | YES! Thank you so, so much. | 11:13 |
| MonkeyDust | lupilupi press the shift lock key | 11:13 |
| auronandace | lupilupi: is caps lock on? | 11:13 |
| lupilupi | WHAT IS SHIFT KEY I AM GERMAN | 11:14 |
| MonkeyDust | lupilupi type /j #ubuntu-de | 11:14 |
| shvelo | lupilupi the key above shift | 11:14 |

| JJC | auronandace: Thank you so, so much for your help. You have saved me so much time. I really appreciate it. | 11:15 |
| MonkeyDust | lupilupi first turn off caps, then ask a question | 11:15 |
| auronandace | JJC: no worries | 11:15 |
| lupilupi | YES IF I KNEW HOW TO DO SO | 11:15 |
| auronandace | JJC: not sure if mythbuntu needs the partner repos though | 11:15 |
| JJC | MonkeyDust: Thank you as well, huge help. | 11:15 |
| MonkeyDust | lupilupi type /join #ubuntu-de and ask there | 11:16 |
| jose___ | hello | 11:16 |

| jose___ | i have one question, how can i change the icons in top panel ( where the battery, time wireless is)?? | 11:17 |
| shvelo | MonkeyDust: it starts loading and restarts | 11:17 |
| auronandace | JJC: if nothing needs it then its safe to just leave it commented | 11:17 |
| jose___ | its ubuntu 11.10 | 11:17 |
| sacarlson | shvelo: hold shift key at boot time and arrow key to the windows 8 menu selection and enter | 11:17 |
| JJC | How do I do that...? Again, sorry for the amateur questions. | 11:17 |
| nunzio | !list | 11:17 |
| auronandace | JJC: if something does need it and it stays commented it just means you won't get updates for that particular software | 11:18 |
| JJC | So how would I find out if something needs it or not? | 11:18 |
| auronandace | JJC: i'm not sure what comes as default on mythbuntu | 11:18 |
| shvelo | I have Windows 8 CP and it maybe has Safe Boot or some crap, and i can't enter it's startup menu for disabling it | 11:19 |
| === Guest43061 is now known as Termana | ||
| JJC | Not much... | 11:19 |
| auronandace | JJC: i'm guessing mythtv is part of the partner repo, which is likely the whole point you installed mythbuntu | 11:19 |
| JJC | It is the only reason I chose Mythbuntu, yes. | 11:19 |
| === jono is now known as Guest62194 | ||
| MonkeyDust | shvelo windows support in ##windows (double #) | 11:19 |
| JJC | So you think it would be MythTV? So I should probably uncomment it? | 11:20 |
| === Guest62194 is now known as adha | ||
| auronandace | JJC: i'd guess so yes, but you will most probably get that error again | 11:20 |
| JJC | Could the error be anything to do with there being the same line repeated twice at the end of my sources.list? | 11:21 |
| auronandace | JJC: no the others are repeated twice | 11:21 |
| JJC | No, I'm talking garbage here aren't I. | 11:21 |
| JJC | Yeah. | 11:21 |
| JJC | Ok, well, I'll give it a go I suppose. | 11:21 |
| auronandace | JJC: you could check to see if there is a bug report | 11:22 |
| mr-squidley | JJC: try adding a -src after deb on the bottom line | 11:22 |
| JJC | Oh! This is no where near as urgent, but I have had one other error since installing Mthbuntu. | 11:22 |
| JJC | ...And now my error message is gone. Weird. | 11:23 |
| auronandace | JJC: ah, you must have just forgot to apt-get update before installing anything | 11:23 |
| JJC | It was an error with the update manager. But changing that line seems to have fixed it too. | 11:23 |
| JJC | So that would have been the whole issue? | 11:24 |
| rabbi1 | my libreoffice doesn;'t check any spelling, kindly help unable to set the under languages also :( | 11:24 |
| JJC | I wish the setup guide had've mentioned that I needed to do that. | 11:24 |
| auronandace | JJC: yes, you should apt-get update before installing or apt-get upgrading | 11:24 |
| JJC | Perhaps I will write my own guide to help strugglers like myself. | 11:24 |
| JJC | So everything should be fine now? Even if I uncomment? | 11:25 |
| auronandace | JJC: try it and see | 11:25 |

| lupilupi | ^^ | 11:30 |
| rAg3-nix | fishcooker: ohk !! what version of ubuntu are u using ? | 11:31 |
| mr-squidley | 11.04 is the newest | 11:31 |
| fishcooker | 10.4 | 11:31 |
| songxk | 12.04 | 11:31 |
| auronandace | lupilupi: 8.04 was released april 2008 | 11:31 |
| lupilupi | lol | 11:31 |
| songxk | just alphi verison | 11:31 |
| lupilupi | i thought 8.04 is itttttttt | 11:31 |
| songxk | 11.10 | 11:31 |
| fishcooker | grub legacy | 11:31 |
| lupilupi | where to upgrade??? | 11:31 |
| JJC | Hmm. | 11:32 |
| songxk | sudo update | 11:32 |
| rAg3-nix | fishcooker: i assume u have a clean ext3/4 partition and have copied all the files and folders u have backed up to that partition !! | 11:32 |
| lupilupi | yes i know but | 11:32 |
| lupilupi | if i upgrade to 11.10 | 11:32 |

| MonkeyDust | lupilupi easiest is to download the 11.10 iso and install that | 11:33 |
| sacarlson | lupilupi: you can install gnome-shell to make it almost the same as ubuntu 8.04 | 11:33 |
| fishcooker | you're rite rag3-nix | 11:33 |
| JJC | It is the same, just minus the last bit. | 11:33 |
| Myrtti | lupilupi: please keep the language clean | 11:33 |
| fishcooker | what should i do? | 11:33 |
| songxk | sacarlson is right | 11:33 |
| fishcooker | grub install? | 11:33 |
| MonkeyDust | lupilupi i don't like/use unity either, i use gnome classic, no need to be upset | 11:33 |
| lupilupi | Sorry For My Language | 11:33 |
| songxk | just use server-verison | 11:33 |
| lupilupi | But unity is relaly annoying me | 11:33 |
| lupilupi | I used it 1 minute it nerved me so much that i was going to shoot my pc out of the window | 11:34 |
| auronandace | lupilupi: why are you repeating all this? you were here under a different nick saying the same things a few days ago | 11:34 |

| rAg3-nix | icambridge: make sure u are using sudo ? !! and also that no apt-get inscance is currently active | 11:40 |
| MonkeyDust | icambridge first use sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade | 11:40 |
| rAg3-nix | icambridge: you cannot make use of dpkg without superuser privileges !! | 11:40 |
| icambridge | rAg3-nix: I'm root. | 11:40 |

| ubottu | icambridge: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 11:41 |
| rAg3-nix | icambridge: then use ps -C apt-get to make sure no instance of apt-get are currently active !! | 11:41 |
| icambridge | rAg3-nix: no there isn't. | 11:41 |
| songxk | is ubottu a rebot? | 11:42 |
| rAg3-nix | icambridge: ubottu is right , use sudo by editing your sudoers instead of logging as a root user | 11:42 |
| johnm | auronandace: how did icambridge possibly suggest to anyone else how to go about setting a root password? | 11:42 |
| MonkeyDust | songxk a bot, yes | 11:42 |
| auronandace | johnm: he said he was root, ubuntu doesn't support logging in as root | 11:43 |

| FloodBot1 | fishcooker: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:44 |
| fishcooker | should i take 2# | 11:44 |
| johnm | auronandace: and how did you not know that his euid is root, opposed to loggign in as root? also, the message the bot gives implies he should not be informing others but logging in as root on your own machine is perfectly OK. So I fail to see your point. | 11:44 |
| fishcooker | if i've /boot on the same partittion | 11:44 |
| fishcooker | ? | 11:44 |
| rAg3-nix | auronandace: it would if someone makes a few changes ... but icambridge didnt suggest or mention how to perform those steps !! | 11:44 |
| johnm | icambridge: does the file actually exist (i'd expect a different error) | 11:44 |
| icambridge | johnm: I'll look into that thanks. | 11:45 |
| Nunus | icambridge: tried dpkg --configure -a ? | 11:45 |
| rAg3-nix | fishcooker: if u have boot in the same paritition you need not perform the 2nd step !! as it would already be available from the 1st step | 11:45 |
| auronandace | johnm: sorry, perhaps i should have used the !root factoid instead, suggesting to use sudo | 11:45 |
| rAg3-nix | fishcooker: the second step is for if u have a separate partition | 11:45 |
| icambridge | Nunus: not yet no, will try that too | 11:45 |
| fishcooker | http://paste.ubuntu.com/903761/ | 11:46 |
| johnm | icambridge: assuming it does exist, then it might be that it can't obtain an exclusive lock on the file (also unlikely), anything else should get logged | 11:46 |

| skraps | its a caching daemon for file descriptors | 11:49 |
| fishcooker | rag3-nix, on the 3# i should change /dev/sdc with my /dev/sda | 11:49 |
| rAg3-nix | fishcooker: yes .. u need to change it to the root of your hdd !! that is .. for /dev/sda12 u need to do /dev/sda !! /dev/sdb4 /dev/sdb !! | 11:50 |
| exabyte | Ahoy-hoy. | 11:50 |
| === gianni is now known as Guest64486 | ||
| skraps | monkeydust: when a file is accessed on disk a file descriptor is created. Well instead of releasing the filedescriptor from ram FAM caches it so the file system does not have to access the disk again for a new file descriptor , it can just skip to accessing the good stuff right off the bat. | 11:51 |
| skraps | monkeydust: I almost got it, that is just half of it. It also monitors the files and marks when they have been changed so applications do not have to access the disk to tell if the file has been modified | 11:54 |

| f3ck4r | dissapear?! | 13:48 |
| f3ck4r | explain to us how u can make you partition dissapear | 13:49 |
| Shojo | yzhd: what do u have on your os? | 13:49 |
| Shojo | your system* srry | 13:49 |
| yzhd | nope, but I installed ubuntu yesterday.. everything was working fine.. but I wanted to reinstall it, as I installed a lot of things I don't need. | 13:49 |
| abvayad | Hi | 13:49 |
| yzhd | my os is windows vista | 13:49 |
| f3ck4r | abvayad: hi | 13:49 |
| nearst | yzhd,and then? | 13:49 |
| yzhd | Im currently in ubuntu 11.10 (live cd) | 13:49 |
| f3ck4r | yzhd: so | 13:49 |
| yzhd | nearst, I was installing ubuntu 11.10 from live cd.. I had selected partition and all.. then I clicked on install. I had slected my keyboard layout.. and all of the sudden the installed just dissapperaed.. but when I go to system monitor, I see that space is decreased.. which means that it is still installing.. what shall I do guys ? | 13:50 |
| Shojo | yzhd: so u have important files in vista that you don't want to loose by installing ubuntu the wrong way? | 13:50 |
| yzhd | yes | 13:50 |
| Pici | yzhd: Are you sure that the installer isn't on another virtual desktop? | 13:50 |
| LjL | yzhd: maybe you've in | 13:50 |
| f3ck4r | omg, just create a new partition with the free space | 13:50 |
| LjL | nevermind, what pici said :P | 13:50 |
| thiebaude | dual boot should be easy | 13:50 |
| nearst | yzhd,try reboot and start the installation weather the ubuntu can detect your current partition | 13:50 |
| bahamas | hello. I'm trying to copy a directory a usb stick and the copying process gets stuck? how can I stop it to remove the stick? Eject doesn't work | 13:50 |
| f3ck4r | thiebaude: yea | 13:51 |
| ejv | if you're a novice, backing up your important files, is a worthwhile endeavor. | 13:51 |
| nearst | bahamas,try umount /<your disk> | 13:51 |
| Shojo | yzhd: Well if youconfigured it right i don't think it matters if you are seeing what it does, it can only do what you set it to do | 13:51 |
| f3ck4r | nope | 13:51 |
| yzhd | shojo, how do I know when it's finished? | 13:51 |
| === f3ck4r is now known as f3ck4r-0ffz | ||
| nearst | yzhd,i think your ubuntu installer is crash. try cfdisk /dev/sda | 13:52 |
| abvayad | Is there any way to use pendrive to improve perfomence of pc ,as in the case of win7 | 13:52 |
| bazhang | abvayad, like bitlocker? or what | 13:52 |
| yzhd | FAIL ERROR, CANNOT OPEN DISK DRIVE | 13:52 |
| LjL | yzhd: are you SURE you aren't simply in the wrong virtual desktop? | 13:53 |
| zykotick9 | abvayad: usb is a very slow medium, usings as virtual memory is silly. (plus shorts the life of the USB as well) | 13:53 |
| nearst | yzhd,try !ntfs-3g | 13:53 |
| bazhang | abvayad, some kind of boost? | 13:53 |
| abvayad | Yeah | 13:53 |
| LjL | nearst: what does NTFS have to do with this? | 13:53 |
| ejv | yzhd: reboot, verify the integrity of the disk (both ondisk tool and md5sum), then retry the installation. | 13:53 |
| bahamas | nearst: thanks. do you have any idea how I can debug why the copying gets stuck? | 13:53 |
| bazhang | abvayad, no, then | 13:53 |
| yzhd | md5 = verified already | 13:53 |
| yzhd | nearst, will try | 13:53 |
| nearst | to fix the ntfs partition file. idk . just suggestion | 13:54 |
| bazhang | its all ubuntu from what he said | 13:54 |
| yzhd | should I reboot guys ? | 13:54 |
| ejv | unless you want to keep staring at nothing all day long... | 13:54 |
| mbeierl | bahamas, tail -100 /var/log/syslog - see if there are any errors about writing blocks or so to the stick? | 13:54 |
| nearst | owh. | 13:54 |
| abvayad | If usb is very slow why windows using it to improve perfomence? | 13:54 |
| abvayad | ? | 13:55 |
| nearst | yzhd, what is the situation now? try cat /proc/partitions? | 13:55 |
| bazhang | abvayad, try asking in ##windows | 13:56 |
| yzhd | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 7 0 683116 loop0 8 0 312571224 sda 8 1 254446552 sda1 8 2 1 sda2 8 3 10599424 sda3 8 4 2048000 sda4 8 5 45473792 sda5 ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 13:56 |
| nearst | yzhd,omg. 5 partitions? | 13:56 |
| yzhd | 2 = from before | 13:56 |
| yzhd | 1 is ext 4 | 13:56 |
| yzhd | one is swap | 13:56 |
| yzhd | the 5th.. I don't know | 13:57 |
| FloodBot1 | yzhd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:57 |
| yzhd | it automatically came | 13:57 |
| nearst | problem now? cant boot ubuntu? or want to get back your windows? | 13:57 |
| yzhd | Windows partition is not touched.. so nothing have happened to it.. I just want ubuntu installer tto work. Should I reboot? | 13:58 |
| ejv | wouldn't it be more logical to rule out the possibility of hardware failure, before blaming the installer or an error in partitioning? do you have another livecd you can try? another hard disk? etc. | 13:58 |
| yzhd | I know it's not the dvd, as installing ubuntu worked fine yesterday | 13:59 |
| Shojo | yzhd: If the progress you were able to to see has stopped ,then reboot and see what happens | 13:59 |
| yzhd | I did some stuffs, and I wanted to factory reset, that's why I'm installing it again | 13:59 |
| nearst | owh. i experience such problem before. what im doing is change the partitions type to reiserfs to make it dual boot | 13:59 |
| Shojo | yzhd: that sounds shady | 13:59 |
| nearst | idk. but the ext4 cant handle the grub-install | 14:00 |
| ejv | grub2 handles ext4 quite nicely | 14:00 |
| yzhd | it can't ? in guides, I read that I should use ext4 + it worked yesterday ? | 14:00 |
| f3ck4r | I use ext2 | 14:01 |
| bahamas | mbeierl: no errors. last message is "Attached SCSI removable disk" | 14:01 |
| yzhd | so ext4 is not recommended ? | 14:01 |
| bahamas | "Assuming drive cache: write through" before that | 14:01 |
| f3ck4r | bahamas: idk, never use lol | 14:01 |
| bahamas | f3ck4r: what? | 14:01 |
| f3ck4r | bahamas: ext4 | 14:02 |
| nearst | ejv, idk. but im hate ext4, im use ext3 or reiserfs anyway. and install grub-pc | 14:02 |
| bahamas | f3ck4r: you're confusing people | 14:02 |
| f3ck4r | im not | 14:02 |
| mbeierl | bahamas, ok. How is it "stuck"? And how are you copying the file, GUI or terminal? | 14:02 |
| f3ck4r | you can use ext4 or ext2 or whatever you want | 14:02 |
| ejv | nearst: if you say so | 14:02 |
| bahamas | mbeierl: GUI. it gets close to finishing and remains like that 590 MB out of 600, for example. it's never the same amount | 14:03 |

| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| bahamas | mbeierl: copying from the terminal also gets stuck | 14:07 |
| nearst | pi3ch,why not just using PAM instead key ? :) | 14:07 |
| pi3ch | @nearst: Security reasons :) | 14:08 |
| mbeierl | bahamas, try, from a terminal, issue the "sync" command. See if it comes back right away or if it "hangs" too | 14:08 |
| bahamas | who's an op here? there's a guy sending invites to channels | 14:08 |
| LjL | bahamas: please report to #ubuntu-ops | 14:08 |

| pi3ch | It is kind of strang, why unicode characters do not show propely using ssh private public key authentication! | 14:09 |
| nearst | ansi work well? | 14:10 |
| bahamas | mbeierl: it tells me "ignoring all arguments" and hangs as well | 14:10 |
| bahamas | mbeierl: it seems to have been copied though. at least the sizes match | 14:11 |
| sacarlson | pi3ch: I use ssh keys but never noticed any unicode isues when I moved from passwords | 14:12 |
| foobArrr | My keyboard and mouse suddenly stopped working while typing. This happened the third time today. I still can ssh in the machine. dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/903945/ | 14:12 |
| mbeierl | bahamas, so what it could be is that it's a case of slow usb stick and fast memory cache. It thinks it was done copying, but it needed to flush the contents to the stick and that's what too so long at the end | 14:12 |

| detch1 | when i open php project i face ablank page i am using xampp ? i opened php.ini but i don't know what can i do ? | 14:15 |
| bazhang | detch1, xampp is not supported as we have said | 14:15 |
| fidel | detch1: phpinfo() | 14:16 |
| fidel | makes sense as a first test to see if your lamp setup works or not | 14:16 |
| beasty | what is xampp ? | 14:16 |
| detch1 | no problem in phpinfo | 14:16 |
| fidel | beasty: some non-secure (iirc) lamp-env for devs | 14:16 |
| beasty | oh ok | 14:16 |
| fidel | easy to setup - but not to be used in the real world | 14:16 |
| nujabes | can rpm be used on ubuntu? | 14:17 |
| bahamas | mbeierl: I see. good to know | 14:17 |
| zykotick9 | nujabes: you shouldn't | 14:17 |
| fidel | detch1: if phpinfo works there is no reason that VALID php codes doenst work | 14:17 |
| nujabes | zykotick9: why? | 14:17 |
| beasty | nujabes: alien - convert and install rpm and other packages :p | 14:17 |
| zykotick9 | nujabes: it's made for a different system | 14:17 |

| bazhang | nancy--, how does that relate to ubuntu | 14:19 |

| kayaman | hi all | 14:20 |
| thiebaude | !ppa | 14:20 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

| beasty | sorry | 14:20 |
| sacarlson | nujabes: as thiebaude points out | 14:20 |
| bazhang | nancy--, how is this related to ubuntu support | 14:20 |
| fidel | detch1: in short - if phpinfo works - your lamp-environment basically works | 14:21 |
| thiebaude | nancy maybe ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:21 |
| beasty | sacarlson: ubuntu users mostly have a cc :p | 14:21 |
| fidel | detch1: that means php is fine --> your code isnt | 14:21 |
| thiebaude | even tho dont seem ubuntu related | 14:21 |
| detch1 | yes php is fine but some projects is blank | 14:21 |
| fidel | detch1: if you would enable debug output your lamp-setup should be able to display error-messages instead of a blank-page | 14:21 |
| detch1 | why | 14:21 |
| bazhang | !xampp | detch1 fidel | 14:21 |
| ubottu | detch1 fidel: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 14:21 |
| bazhang | !lamp | detch1 use this | 14:22 |
| ubottu | detch1 use this: 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+) | 14:22 |
| fidel | ;) | 14:22 |
| beasty | (: | 14:22 |
| fidel | bazhang: thats why i tried to point him to lamp already ;) | 14:22 |
| bazhang | detch1, its not supported here, so please stop asking for support | 14:22 |
| fidel | bazhang: is there a list (bot or similar) of unsupported topics? | 14:23 |
| bazhang | fidel, /msg ubottu factoids | 14:23 |
| fidel | just to avoid such things in the future | 14:23 |
| fidel | k - thanks | 14:23 |
| detch1 | ok how can i remove xampp with out any errors when i setup lampp | 14:24 |
| fidel | detch1: that is again a xampp question | 14:24 |
| LjL | detch1: isn't it all installed in /opt? | 14:25 |
| detch1 | yes | 14:25 |
| LjL | detch1: then just removing the directory from /opt/ should work | 14:25 |
| detch1 | i ask how can i remove xampp to install this lamp with out any problems | 14:25 |
| LjL | detch1: actually i don't think you should have problems even if you *don't* remove it, but again, it should be as simple as removing the directory | 14:26 |
| sacarlson | ljl: detch1: I would assume there might also be something in /etc/init.d/ but I guess if the files are missing it will just fail to start | 14:27 |
| LjL | sacarlson: document i'm reading says things like "sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start", so likely that isn't the case | 14:28 |
| sacarlson | ljl: they don't autostart at boot? | 14:28 |
| Nightweels | Im beginner in the linux/world os how to know the <package> of "x" program of part of the os? | 14:28 |

Seems like Thunderbird is a bit more polished visually, but I'm wondering whether it is buddy or something.

| OY1R | q: why is /var/log/syslog.1 already at 6.5Gb since i cleared it with bleachbit yesterday ? | 15:22 |
| urist_ | mneptok, yeah, since I moved to Ubuntu I have definitely learned to pick software more on the basis of functionality rather than aesthetics. It's nice to have a eye candy, but having the job done is more important | 15:22 |
| urist_ | mneptok, is it possible to sync Claws between two machines? | 15:22 |
| sipior | OY1R: 6.5 gigabytes? that's impressive. | 15:23 |
| hylian | urist_, i totally agree. I switched from unity to xfce4 for that very reason. but ugly compared to gnome 3, unity or kde, but runs like a champ. | 15:23 |
| mneptok | urist_: no need if your mail provider supports IMAP and gives you ample storage. | 15:23 |
| mun | does anyone know why /proc/cpuinfo would show a wrong value for cpu MHz? it shows 2400 while it should be 2666. | 15:23 |
| OY1R | sipior, i bet it is. and that's since last reboot (yesterday) when i cleared just about everything with bleachbit | 15:23 |
| rumpe1 | OY1R, imagine, the syslog-file is screaming... maybe it's a good idea to actually look into the file | 15:23 |
| gnuskool | mneptok: i read somewhere it has to do with NAT settings on my router, but not sure which precisely | 15:23 |
| mneptok | urist_: but if you have to, you can rsync the relevant stuff from $HOME/ | 15:24 |
| gnuskool | mneptok: external router, that is | 15:24 |
| sipior | OY1R: if your logs are filling that quickly, best to see what they're saying :-) | 15:24 |
| urist_ | hylian, I have not tried XFCE yet, but have heard great things. I am a bit of a sucker for Unity I must say. But use Gnome on my laptop because it seems to run better | 15:24 |
| hylian | mun, sorry, never had that problem. is this hardinfo you are using, or? | 15:24 |
| MonkeyDust | urist_ i use gnome classic, looks very much like gnome2 | 15:24 |
| mneptok | gnuskool: you actually need 2 routers. the hardware one, and then routing setup on the server machine so it knows to pass requests between NICs. | 15:24 |
| mun | hylian, just less /proc/cpuinfo | 15:24 |
| hylian | urist_, i like unity too. the only thing i don't like, is the hiding bar gets in my way. if it could be teucked under like gnome 3's bar, then it would be perfect. | 15:25 |
| esquireo | hello people | 15:25 |
| urist_ | MonkeyDust, that's the one I use on my laptop. my laptop is a piece of crap and it's the best one for that machine. On my desktop I use Unity. I have to say I like Unity even if most people seem to dislike it | 15:26 |
| ftw | hylian: how do you keep track of what programs you're running, in the absence of a taskbar? | 15:26 |
| mneptok | mun: CPU frequency scaling? *shrug* | 15:26 |
| hylian | ftw, uhh, i have a taskbar wit xfce4. it comes standard.??? | 15:26 |
| sacarlson | gnuskool: I guess you need more info on dhcpd setup and this is also not the best I have seen http://www.basicconfig.com/linuxnetwork/configure_dhcp_server_ubuntu | 15:26 |
| OY1R | sipior, opening the log, i might take a while. | 15:26 |
| urist_ | hylian, I agree, very often I bring the bar out by mistake. Especially while browsing | 15:26 |
| ftw | hylian: pardon me, I just saw the unity bit | 15:26 |
| mun | mneptok, it's not overclocked. | 15:27 |
| OY1R | sipior, syslog.1 is about 6.5gb and syslog os 5gb | 15:27 |
| mneptok | mun: i'm talking the other direction. as supported by OEMs to control thermal and battery stuffs. | 15:27 |

| hylian | ftw, i see your point. but everytime i move the mouse to the left, the bar gets in my way, and then i have to wait till it goes away. very irratating. | 15:28 |
| urist_ | mneptok, I may haveto to that. I'm looking up claws now | 15:28 |
| gnuskool | sacarlson: thanks for the link, but i thought having clients resolve ok on the subnet means dhcp is ok, i could be wrong if there is more to do | 15:28 |

| mbeierl | hylian, did anyone explain the multiple desktops yet? It might be that you are switching and the window is still there | 15:30 |
| hylian | mneptok, i have messed with claws mail a while back, is claws and entire window manager or desktop environment? and if so is it based off of xfce, lxde or openbox? | 15:30 |
| mneptok | hylian: dist-upgrade, or getting a new release version? | 15:30 |
| mneptok | hylian: Claws uses GTK2 | 15:31 |

| sipior | OY1R: looks like one of your "at" jobs isn't properly formed. | 15:31 |
| hylian | mneptok, so claws is a wm or de? i thought it was just claws mail, which looked a little too much like sylpheed's big brother for me. | 15:32 |
| sipior | OY1R: might look in /var/spool/cron/atjobs, see if any of the files are damaged. | 15:32 |
| mbeierl | hylian, sorry - mistook the question for one that was asked a while ago and someone hinted at that, but I never saw a follow up. | 15:32 |
| mneptok | hylian: it's an e-mail client. it is built using the GTK2 ttoolkit. | 15:32 |
| sipior | OY1R: better yet, turn off atd, and run it manually with the -s switch. | 15:32 |
| OY1R | what does atd -s do ? | 15:33 |
| sipior | OY1R: better yet, atd -d --f -s | 15:33 |
| hylian | mbeierl, no problem, i appreciate all the help i can get! :) i know it is still working, because i can see the process in htop. i should have done this in cli, then i wouldnt have this problem. | 15:33 |
| Nightweels | Isn't there graphical version of "sudo" in ubuntu something like "open as administrator". (Yes Im a little weird programmer, interested in graphical commands more than the terminal ones don't blame me people Its just I can't get rid of this obsession :p ) | 15:33 |
| sipior | Nightweels: you probably mean "gksudo". | 15:33 |
| urist_ | mneptok, thanks... it does look pretty clean | 15:33 |
| Nightweels | what ever just have all the permission | 15:33 |
| hylian | mneptok, ohh, i see. somehow i thought maybe it was a window manager named claws, and claws mail was part of the package, my bad. | 15:33 |
| hylian | Nightweels, yes, gksu. for instance, gksu synaptic would get you a sudo'ers access to synaptic, | 15:34 |
| mneptok | hylian: the Claws website has all the info you need or want on the history and such of the project. | 15:35 |
| hylian | mneptok, thanks! | 15:35 |
| OY1R | atd is hogging the cpu aswell | 15:35 |
| mneptok | hylian: go and see how your sensation of deja vu WRT Sylpheed is not in error. :) | 15:35 |
| sipior | OY1R: "sudo service atd stop" | 15:36 |
| OY1R | i just did that | 15:36 |
| sipior | OY1R: now, try "sudo atd -d -f" from a terminal. see what comes out. | 15:37 |
| OY1R | sipior, unknown optio | 15:37 |
| OY1R | sipior, unknown option | 15:37 |
| hylian | mneptok, have you ever had a window just up and dissappear for no reason at all? i was using update manager to do a dist-upgrade, and all of a sudden my window went poof. should have done this in cli, now i have no idea what is going on... | 15:38 |
| sipior | OY1R: actually, only the -d option should be needed, according to my man page. | 15:38 |
| Nightweels | hylian: I mean basically when modifying a protected file (by the system for example) graphically, I get error related to permission so I'm obliged through the terminal to modify it... | 15:38 |
| mun | hi | 15:38 |
| hylian | !hello : mun | 15:38 |
| ubottu | hylian: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:38 |
| mun | i've clocked my cpu to 3.4hz and cpuinfo shows 3.4ghz but after a while it goes to 2.4ghz. what could be causing this? | 15:39 |
| OY1R | sipior, about 100 lines of > File g0057201511f89 is in wrong format - aborting < a second | 15:39 |
| hylian | !hello | mun | 15:39 |
| mun | i haven't got cpuspeed installed | 15:39 |
| hylian | lol | 15:39 |
| Nightweels | obliged to get* sorry | 15:39 |
| sipior | OY1R: is there such a file in /var/spool/cron/atjobs? | 15:39 |
| bastidrazor | mun: cpufrequtil is the package and cpufreq-set cpufreq-info are two of the commands you may want to use | 15:39 |
| hylian | mun, some processors have the ability to idle themselves when nothing is going on, could that be the situation? | 15:40 |
| sodani | got a noob question. I created a file called hello.sh in my home directory. then when I did ./hello.sh, I got the message 'bash: ./hello.sh: Permission denied'. Can someone tell me why this is? | 15:40 |
| mun | bastidrazor, i haven't got cpufrequtil installed | 15:40 |
| mun | hylian, um. well, it drops to 2.4 only after a few minutes though | 15:40 |
| _zoom_ | hi, when I connet my android tablet to pc i got unable to enumerate USB device on port x | 15:40 |
| sipior | sodani: you need to set the execute bit: "chmod u+x hello.sh" | 15:40 |
| mun | this has happened only after flashing my mobo. | 15:41 |
| hylian | sodani, it sounds like you don't own it. hmm, what happens if you type chmod a+x hello.sh in terminal? | 15:41 |
| mun | but a few minutes seems to be a bit too short | 15:41 |
| OY1R | sipior, yes there is | 15:41 |
| OY1R | but it's 0 bytes | 15:41 |
| sipior | OY1R: consider moving it out of that directory, and restart atd. | 15:41 |
| sodani | sipior: hylian: thanks. that worked. just needed to make it executable :-) | 15:41 |
| mun | i guess i should check my bios | 15:42 |
| mun | thanks though | 15:42 |
| hylian | mun, to be honest, i read the article, but i do not know any specifics. I just know some processors will clock down if not being used much, this might not even be your situation. i just know it's a possibility. | 15:42 |
| OY1R | i'll make a folder inside the /atjobs and place it there. | 15:43 |
| sipior | OY1R: i'd move it out of that tree entirely. | 15:43 |
| msucan | how can i startx in safe mode? | 15:43 |
| compdoc | in the bios, if you enable Cool and Quiet, I think cpu is clocked down automatically | 15:43 |
| OY1R | ok | 15:43 |
| hylian | any way to return a window that just decided to disappear? i would like it back, it was running a distrobution upgrade. | 15:44 |
| Dj_FlyBy | This is so confusing. I have tried everything I can think of but cannot for the life of me get logged into mysql whether by term, webmin, phpmyadmin, etc.... I have tried changing the root password and still nothing. I am LOST! | 15:44 |
| sipior | hylian: does it show up in "xlsclients"? | 15:44 |
| === alan_ is now known as Guest43710 | ||
| hylian | sipior, yes it does. i also see it in htop. | 15:45 |
| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: is the mysql server on the localhost of the system you are trying to access? | 15:45 |
| sipior | hylian: what happened when it vanished? | 15:45 |
| sipior | hylian: can you alt-tab to it? | 15:46 |
| Dj_FlyBy | sacarlson: yes | 15:46 |
| agoodm | hi | 15:46 |
| agoodm | does annybody know how to backup the list of wireless networks in ubuntu 10.10? | 15:47 |
| hylian | sipior, nothing except for no window. it's not the first time update-notifier (or whatever it is) just disappeared without a trace (graphically speaking). the process is still running, so i am assuming it is still doing it's job. var is still locked, if i try to sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. | 15:47 |
| agoodm | including the passwords | 15:47 |
| OY1R | sipior, atd is running again | 15:47 |
| sipior | OY1R: hopefully without all the noise this time | 15:47 |
| sipior | hylian: and alt-tab? | 15:47 |
| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: if it's localhost, then why can't you access http://localhost/phpmyadmin ? | 15:48 |
| hylian | sipior, alt-tab shows all my currently visible windows, i.e. chromium, xchat, terminator, etc. | 15:48 |
| OY1R | sipior, i dont know i cant run sudo atd -d | 15:48 |
| ShooterMG | I'm running 11.10, and by default, my monitors res/rr isn't suported. I discovered that all I have to do is install the latest NVIDIA drivers for my integrated chip, and it auto-configures everything just fine and let's me boot into X. The problem is, whenever I restart, the configuration seems to get wiped. Any way to make these NVIDIA settings "stick" forever? | 15:48 |
| Dj_FlyBy | sacarlson: --> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) | 15:48 |
| hylian | agoodm, i don't know which folder it is, but if you back up the entire /home/user/ directory, i know that did the trick for me. this atleast gives you a direction to go. sorry i couldnt be more specific. | 15:49 |
| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: oh you lost the root password or you forgot the user password pair? | 15:49 |
| agoodm | so the usernames/passwords are in /home/username? if thats the case is the passwords/secrets in clear text? | 15:49 |
| agoodm | wondering if I can grep | 15:50 |
| hylian | Dj_FlyBy, forgive me if I am way off, because an expert i am not, but is it possible the port is being blocked? | 15:50 |
| Dj_FlyBy | sacarlson: nope.... I have NEVER been able to log into mysql in any way at all.... tried changing the root password from Ubuntu's default ways and still nothing | 15:50 |
| sipior | hylian: you might try installing wmctrl. you should be able to use that to identify and raise the window. might not work with unity, but surely worth a try. | 15:50 |
| Dj_FlyBy | hylian: I'm on the machine that mysql is running on | 15:50 |
| zykotick9 | agoodm: the network passwords are stored in the keyring - they aren't grepable clear text | 15:50 |
| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: but the login screen of phpmyadmin comes up? | 15:51 |
| bluefrog | agoodm, have a look at $HOME/.gconf/system/networking/ | 15:51 |
| Pumpkin- | Dj_FlyBy: hang on a second !, have you used "passwd" to set a system root password, and are then trying to login to mysql using that root password ? | 15:51 |
| agoodm | hmm, so if I port the keyring across my networks will also move? | 15:51 |
| Dj_FlyBy | sacarlson: nope. I can't even get through the phpmyadmin install. but via webmin it comes up and I get the same error there and in terminal I get the same error | 15:51 |
| zykotick9 | agoodm: ? not sure, never tried to move that info. good luck. | 15:51 |
| hylian | sipior, thanks. I would if i could. but the goofy part about this is that this machine is currently doing a dist-upgrade, and i have had serious problems in the past disrupting the install, so i really am trying not to go that route. | 15:51 |
| MonkeyDust | agoodm as of next month, 10.10 will be End Of Life, better upgrade instead of struggling with an old system | 15:51 |
| agoodm | i dont wanna loose the list because every customers wireless networks ive been to in the last 28 months are in there =( | 15:51 |
| Dj_FlyBy | Pumpkin-: yes.... | 15:52 |
| sipior | hylian: i see. well, fair enough. | 15:52 |
| agoodm | MonkeyDust, im buying a new laptop | 15:52 |
| Dj_FlyBy | this is a fresh install of Ubuntu (less than 2 days old) | 15:52 |
| zykotick9 | !webmin > Dj_FlyBy | 15:52 |
| ubottu | Dj_FlyBy, please see my private message | 15:52 |
| Dj_FlyBy | Pumpkin-: i only tried changing the root passwd AFTER not being able to access the server from root before | 15:52 |
| Pumpkin- | Dj_FlyBy: the system root password and the mysql root password are totally different things. You might want to read http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html to see how to reset the mysql root password. | 15:53 |
| Nightweels | Is the default virtual keyboard in the logon screen of ubuntu part of the Onboard package? | 15:53 |
| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: sound like with whatever method of install or something you have corrupted the lamp set, just remove --purge the set and start from some know state | 15:53 |

| mneptok | Dj_FlyBy: setting a system root password is not a good idea. | 15:53 |
| Dj_FlyBy | sacarlson: not sure what "lamp" is .... | 15:53 |
| mneptok | Dj_FlyBy: Pumpkin- is correct above. | 15:54 |
| sacarlson | !lamp Dj_FlyBy: | 15:54 |
| sacarlson | !lamp | 15:54 |
| 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+) | 15:54 |
| Dj_FlyBy | mneptok: I "would" like to put it back to the way it was prior to me changing it. Is this possible>? | 15:54 |
| mneptok | Dj_FlyBy: you set a system-wide Ubuntu root password. the MySQL root password is something else entirely. | 15:54 |
| xissburg | I followed this http://evgeny-goldin.com/blog/3-ways-install-git-linux-ubuntu/ to install Git 1.7.9.5 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, step two (from source). But git --version still prints 1.7.0.4. Why? Isn't that frustrating? | 15:54 |
| mneptok | Dj_FlyBy: sudo passwd -dl root | 15:55 |
| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: what mneptok: says is true root system and mysql root are not the same | 15:55 |
| Dj_FlyBy | mneptok: so that will put it back to the default way Ubuntu runs the root passwd? | 15:55 |
| Pumpkin- | and you most likely also want to do something like "sudo passwd -l root" to lock the password on the root account and go back to using sudo as your normal user to get root. Setting a "real" root password isn't the recommended way of doing things with Ubuntu (or in my opinon a sensible way of doing things on any system) | 15:55 |
| mneptok | Dj_FlyBy: quite right. | 15:56 |
| Pumpkin- | I think me and mneptok are saying the same things :) | 15:56 |
| Dj_FlyBy | mneptok: thanks for that... | 15:56 |
| Dj_FlyBy | Pumpkin-: I will check that link you gave me for resetting the mysql root passwd... thanks | 15:56 |
| mneptok | Dj_FlyBy: go do that, and then look at MySQL root access | 15:56 |
| xissburg | wow...which git prints /usr/local/bin/git. And /usr/local/bin/git --version prints 1.7.9.5. But git --version prints 1.7.0.4. That is WRONG! | 15:57 |
| Dj_FlyBy | mneptok: already done that part | 15:57 |
| zykotick9 | Dj_FlyBy: i'd highly recommend you stop using webmin, it's a terrible idea on ubuntu | 15:58 |
| imbezol | xissburg: and what does alias git print? | 15:58 |
| xissburg | imbezol: -bash: alias: git: not found | 15:58 |

| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: webmin? oh that's might be what started his problems | 15:59 |
| Dj_FlyBy | zykotick9: well I've never had any issues using it before, but on this machine I only installed it to try and access mysql after the other options failed. This machine is only a media server | 15:59 |
| sacarlson | !webmin | 15:59 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 15:59 |
| Dj_FlyBy | webmin is not the source of the problem.... I only installed it after the other options failed | 16:00 |
| xissburg | imbezol: git 1.7.0.4 is at /usr/bin/git | 16:00 |
| sacarlson | Dj_FlyBy: adding problems on top of other problems just makes it harder to correct | 16:00 |

| netbus | that's what i meant. | 16:03 |
| xissburg | if I su, how can I un-su? | 16:03 |
| Dj_FlyBy | sacarlson: one can only be "adding" problems if they are aware that something is a problem... I never actually knew that Ubuntu didn't support Webmin. Which sucks. webmin is a good tool as it provides access to everything | 16:03 |
| MonkeyDust | xissburg type exit | 16:03 |
| Dr_willis | xissburg, 'exit' | 16:03 |
| Dr_willis | debian also does not support webmin any more | 16:04 |

| Luke | I have a problem where my monospaced fonts don't look correctly spaced between characters. what package would I report this bug under? | 16:25 |
| zykotick9 | Luke: is it the font or your terminal-emulator? test in xterm - same issue? | 16:26 |
| roytrix | hi guys ;) | 16:27 |
| Luke | zykotick9: it uses totally different font rendering in xterm. this is with eclipse and gnome-terminal that i'm having the problem | 16:28 |
| zykotick9 | Luke: so is it eclipse or gnome-terminal? you need to narrow the issue down to just one package, and finally just one version - then report a bug against that package. | 16:29 |
| lglcrtnd | hello | 16:29 |
| Luke | zykotick9: both | 16:29 |
| lglcrtnd | I need some help, I would like to install slackware via cd, if I download the iso image from website it seems to be many gigabyte of memory. Is that iso so big for slackware? | 16:30 |
| zykotick9 | Luke: ? then choose one (i doubt it's really "both", more digging is required) best of luck. see "/msg ubottu bug" for reporting info (you need a launchpad account i believe) | 16:30 |
| Luke | zykotick9: thanks - i'll go with gnome-term because there's less involved (no java) | 16:31 |
| compdoc | lglcrtnd, many distros use DVDs now | 16:31 |

| lglcrtnd | compdoc is it normal that slackware are many giga of iso files? | 16:32 |
| |Slacker| | lglcrtnd, yes it is | 16:32 |
| zykotick9 | lglcrtnd: slackware is offtopic here | 16:32 |
| Luke | zykotick9: actually I found that the Ubuntu Mono fonts look incorrectly spaced. it affects the font | 16:33 |
| lglcrtnd | ok sorry fr he offtopic | 16:33 |
| compdoc | lglcrtnd, this isnt a slackware support channel, and Ive never tried it. But most distros also come in a network install version, and thats very small | 16:33 |
| Luke | zykotick9: do you know what package that's in? | 16:33 |
| zykotick9 | Luke: then report against the font package | 16:33 |
| zykotick9 | Luke: no idea | 16:33 |
| Luke | zykotick9: yeah I don't know the name of it | 16:33 |
| zykotick9 | Luke: i can't really search (i'm not on ubuntu) | 16:34 |
| Luke | k | 16:34 |
| Luke | zykotick9: i can actually - i found the fonts | 16:34 |
| techfreak | clear | 16:36 |

| cousteau | prashant_123456, no idea how to do it using terminals... maybe screen? | 18:31 |
| tensorpudding | mody, windows recovery does not recognize grub and will often do crummy things if you use it in a dual-boot scenario with ubuntu | 18:31 |
| prashant_123456 | cousteau, need to use concurrently | 18:32 |
| cousteau | prashant_123456, why's all this, by the way? just for minimizing the number of computers and saving having to buy an extra one, or because of programs that would only be installed in 1 computer but 2 users might want to use at the same time? | 18:32 |
| mody | tensorpudding: what i can do now? i have all my stuff on ubuntu and need access to it:) what do you can is a good way to have back the grub? | 18:32 |
| ALTAS | what is a good browser for mythbuntu | 18:32 |
| cousteau | the latter would be just too easy to do using ssh | 18:32 |

| belgianguy | belgianguy: after the backup, you can try fixing the boot process (if it still has configuration files lingering around) | 18:34 |
| dsenator | cousteau, pls explain what yu mean | 18:34 |
| mody | belgianguy: you mean reinstall ubuntu? | 18:34 |
| cousteau | Adamantus, they probably do unless they have tricky dependencies | 18:34 |
| Adamantus | cousteau: Thanks. | 18:34 |
| Dulak | Adamantus: maybe, but it's a bad idea and will probably give you dependency nightmares. You're better off finding a ppa, or cutting your own deb from the source deb | 18:34 |
| cousteau | dsenator, there's a toolbar called "Form contols" or something like that | 18:34 |
| dsenator | cousteau, how do move into the form control chat??? | 18:35 |
| belgianguy | you'll probably have to look in etc/fstab and use ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/* | 18:35 |
| belgianguy | but still, it could also be FUBAR | 18:35 |

| yzhd | that's right ? | 19:13 |
| KM0201 | yzhd: hmm, hang on a second | 19:13 |
| Fyodorovna | LukkuTZ, did you find the out of the bios boot menu generally f12 works at powering on. | 19:13 |
| LukkuTZ | i used the burn image from UltraIso | 19:13 |
| Fyodorovna | !tab | LukkuTZ | 19:14 |
| LukkuTZ | and i burned the ubuntu ISO | 19:14 |
| ubottu | LukkuTZ: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 19:14 |
| LukkuTZ | onto the usb | 19:14 |
| cousteau | ssta, you weren't responding to a question, you were responding to question | 19:14 |
| cousteau | lololol... ok, I'll shut up now | 19:14 |
| KM0201 | yzhd: try sudo apt-get autoremove xubuntu-desktop | 19:14 |
| yzhd | xubuntu desktop is not installed | 19:15 |
| Fyodorovna | LukkuTZ, load the usb with unetbootin and find the out of bios boot from menu if needed. | 19:15 |
| yzhd | km0201, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 19:15 |
| yzhd | km0201, would that work? | 19:15 |
| LukkuTZ | ok , i will google unetbootin and i will try to use that . thank you | 19:16 |
| KM0201 | yzhd: um, thats pretty old, so you might get some errors (on package names) but its worth a try | 19:16 |
| ssta | KM0201: umm, that's not what autoremove does... | 19:16 |
| KM0201 | ssta: i was just noticing that.. :) | 19:16 |
| BobMarley | hello | 19:16 |
| BobMarley | what kind of help related to ubuntu i can find here? | 19:16 |
| Fyodorovna | LukkuTZ, no problem, sometimes moving the usb to the first read in the bios does not work so you have the other boot from menu. | 19:16 |
| Fyodorovna | BobMarley, support in general here. | 19:17 |

| bisiu | hi I am new to linux and I am having trouble instaling thirdparty software ie canon printer driver can any one help | 19:18 |
| Fyodorovna | bisiu, are you sure you need a third party | 19:18 |
| yzhd | km0201, how can I know if it is uninstalled ? | 19:18 |
| nosalt | I want to run Ubuntu 8.04 on a Virtual Machine | 19:18 |
| bisiu | yeah I tried printing and it did'nt | 19:18 |
| Myrth | hi. is it possible to install Ubuntu Server from Live CD, with loading a custom SSD driver? | 19:18 |
| KM0201 | yzhd: log out, click sessions, and see if xubuntu is still there | 19:19 |
| Fyodorovna | nosalt, 8.04 is end of life | 19:19 |
| nosalt | Where can I get the VDI? | 19:19 |
| ssta | nosalt: it should Just Work. But you'd have to point sources.list at the archive servers yourself... | 19:19 |
| tom_uk | how can I transfer movies to an iphone 3g with ubunut. gtkpod doesn't work. | 19:19 |
| KM0201 | Myrth: ubuntu server doesn't get installed via a live cd.. | 19:19 |
| Fyodorovna | nosalt, you can't basically and 8.04 is not supported here after eol. | 19:19 |
| MrHanjrah | why 8.04? any specific reasons? | 19:20 |
| RedBunny | how do you change the system font in ubuntu 12 ,...? | 19:20 |
| cousteau | nosalt, no idea... there was this site with Ubuntu images for VBox, but I'm not sure it has 8.04 anymore | 19:20 |
| _Marcus | RedBunny: Ask that in #ubuntu+1 | 19:20 |
| marsfligth | I'd like to see an Ubuntu time-line that includes also the desktop environments that will be released officially with next Ubuntu distro's. I ask this, just to understand if to still waiting for a 'unity' expiration and a return to the desktop environment present for instance in 'Lucid' or look around the world for a different distro. Actually I'm using 'Maverick'. | 19:20 |
| RedBunny | aye | 19:20 |
| ssta | Fyodorovna: sure you can It's not even hard. That it's EOL doesn't make it impossible. If you don't want to support it then don't, but don't misinform because you don't want to support it | 19:20 |
| nosalt | ssta: Just following the instructions on VB should work, right? I don't need drivers/an installation setup (liveimage)/etc? | 19:21 |
| Fyodorovna | marsfligth, gnome 2 is gone not supported and wont return. | 19:21 |
| Cache_Money | I'm creating an Ubuntu 11.10 instance on VirtualBox running on a Windows laptop. Will it make a difference if I use Ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit? I'm wondering if the VM will run faster using 32-bit | 19:21 |
| Dulak | Except it will return as cinnamon at some point, I'm sure. | 19:22 |
| ssta | nosalt: you shouldn't. You will have to point sources.list at the oldreleases archive (which I don't recall the URL for offhand, but google should know) | 19:22 |
| marsfligth | Are there intentions to leave 'Unity' for something like 'Mate'? | 19:22 |
| MrHanjrah | Cache_Money: depends on your processor | 19:22 |
| _Marcus | nosalt: You need an image of Ubuntu 8.04 to install it. I don't know where you can find one though. ssta may know | 19:22 |
| Fyodorovna | Dulak, use nics please and cinnamon is a third party. | 19:22 |
| Cache_Money | MrHanjrah: I have a new laptop - 8GB RAM, i7 processor | 19:22 |
| Fyodorovna | marsfligth, no mate is a arch fork. | 19:22 |
| Dulak | Fyodorovna: My comment was general, not a response, and third-party or not, it will return. | 19:23 |
| ssta | _Marcus: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04.3/ | 19:23 |
| _Marcus | Dulak: I don't think they will remove Unity. | 19:23 |
| ssta | umm, that was for nosalt I guess | 19:23 |
| _Marcus | Dulak: But you will always have the option to remove it yourself | 19:23 |
| _Marcus | nosalt: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04.3/ | 19:23 |
| MrHanjrah | Cache_Money: oh wow, then you should worry about how to make that giant busy, :) go ahead and install 32 bit without any hitch | 19:23 |
| Fyodorovna | Dulak, cinnamon is a mint thing what is it to return to? | 19:24 |
| Dulak | _Marcus: That was what I meant, thought the discussion was that gnome 2 would not be available | 19:24 |
| cousteau | nosalt, http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/ – here, there's an ubuntu 8.04 there, get it while it's hot | 19:24 |
| nosalt | ssta, _Marcus , Thanks! :) | 19:24 |
| marsfligth | Fyodorovna: so, the future is 'Unity', are you sure? | 19:24 |
| Cache_Money | MrHanjrah: So, I'm not missing out on anythiing by not running 64-bit? | 19:24 |
| MrHanjrah | Cache_Money: not in my consious | 19:24 |
| Fyodorovna | marsfligth, the future is gnome 3 unity is a plugin in compiz running in gnome 3. | 19:24 |
| ssta | Fyodorovna: I don't understand this "not supported" refrain you have. 10.04 is *still* supported, and *still* contains gnome2... | 19:24 |
| Cache_Money | MrHanjrah: cool... thanks for the advice | 19:24 |
| nosalt | cousteau: Thanks to you too! | 19:25 |
| KM0201 | marsfligth: sad as it is, he's probably right... embrace the horror, learn a new GUI (KDE or LXDE would be my suggestion) | 19:25 |
| OldParr | brasero says that one directory's son will have 7 father directory, also says it will not possily be readable by windows ... how do i burn that directory ? | 19:25 |
| BadCodSmell | How can I control which kernel grub chooses to boot in grub for ubuntu 10.10? | 19:25 |
| cousteau | nosalt, you're welcome :) | 19:25 |
| basher82 | why are they pushing unity so much? | 19:25 |
| bisiu | does any one know how to clear the error meaasge from the terminal | 19:25 |
| Myrth | is there a guide how to install Ubuntu Server on box with only USB and SSD that requires custom driver? i've tried unetbootin with NetInstall option, but I couldn't find option to load custom driver during installation sequence... | 19:25 |
| yzhd | km0201, I installed chrome.. then I logged off and in.. chrome is gone now ?? | 19:25 |
| nosalt | Also, wy doesn't ubuntu participate in GSoC? | 19:26 |
| ssta | basher82: marketting. If they didn't push nobody would use it and it wouldn't improve | 19:26 |
| nosalt | *why | 19:26 |
| KM0201 | yzhd: well that makes no sense | 19:26 |
| BadCodSmell | unity ruined ubuntu for me | 19:26 |
| BadCodSmell | I'll never use it as a desktop again, sadly. | 19:26 |
| Dulak | BadCodSmell: edit /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_DEFAULT to the number of the kernel you want it to boot by default. Counting starts at 0 for the top menu entry and increments by 1 as you go down the menu. | 19:26 |
| ssta | nosalt: umm, they do (or at least used to) | 19:26 |
| yzhd | km0201, when click on system info, I see 45gb.. but filesystem = 261 gb? (it's the vista partition) | 19:27 |
| _Marcus | BadCodSmell: For me, it seemed like it was the end of the world. I hated it. Then I started using it, and I found out it was really good. It has problems here and there but I don't want to switch to anything else, so I got used to using it. | 19:27 |
| KM0201 | yzhd: how did you install ubuntu? | 19:27 |
| marsfligth | Does exist a sort of 'petition' to officially ask the abandon to Unity/Mac like style? | 19:27 |
| KM0201 | did you use wubi? | 19:27 |
| Myrth | is there a difference in packages between desktop and server? or it's just different sets of packages? | 19:27 |
| nosalt | ssta: there's fedora, debian, suse in gsoc... but no ubuntu | 19:27 |
| ssta | marsfligth: you're not forced to use it. I use gnome-session-fallback... | 19:27 |
| ssta | nosalt: hmm, I dunno. Definitely Ubuntu *used* to participate | 19:28 |
| BadCodSmell | marsfligth: Yes, it's called switching distro :P | 19:28 |
| ssta | Myrth: just a different set of packages/different installer | 19:28 |
| yzhd | km0201, shrinked volume. Had 48 gb. 46 and 2 gb. Formated 46gb to ext4 and 2gb to swap. Chose the 3rd option in the installer and select the partitions | 19:28 |
| Myrth | ssta: thanks, so i'll just install from live CD without gui packages | 19:28 |
| Fyodorovna | marsfligth, right a privately owned company is going to be influenced by a petition. | 19:28 |
| KM0201 | yzhd: hmm.. sounds right. | 19:28 |
| Dulak | BadCodSmell: It just needs to mature, it is actually very usable for me on my laptop, but I'm sticking to Lucid on my desktops until it's had time to gain the functionality they abandoned. | 19:29 |
| Myrth | ssta: i'm curious why the SSD drivers are different from Ubuntu Desktop and Server | 19:29 |
| _Marcus | Fyodorovna: It's happened a lot. | 19:29 |
| yoshimi-pink | Hey guys I just got the weirdest error message ever | 19:29 |
| yzhd | km0201, that's not a problem for now.. but the xubuntu is not uninstalled ? :( | 19:29 |
| ssta | Myrth: not sure the installer in the livecd does that. Be interested to find out if it works :) | 19:29 |
| Myrth | ssta: *for | 19:29 |
| _Marcus | yoshimi-pink: Pastebin it please | 19:29 |
| KM0201 | yzhd: try this... open synaptic again | 19:29 |
| yoshimi-pink | I'm trying to run a python script and it says no such file or directory | 19:29 |
| BadCodSmell | Dulak: I'm sure it's great in some cases, but when you're doing things like development, that is, you aren't a baby, the UI is not helpful. | 19:29 |
| ssta | Myrth: I didn't realise that they were...teh install CDs are different...but ultimately they all come from the same archive | 19:30 |
| yzhd | km0201, ok | 19:30 |
| yoshimi-pink | and that's all, i us ls to check the directory and it's right there but try to run it and nothing | 19:30 |
| _Marcus | yoshimi-pink: Oh. That was short error message. Are you sure that the directory or file it is trying to access is available? | 19:30 |
| cousteau | yoshimi-pink, how are you running it? ./thescript.py ? | 19:30 |
| KM0201 | yzhd: do a search for "xubuntu-desktop" | 19:30 |

| yzhd | km0201, found a lot of stuffs. KM, is there a possibility for you to help me via teamviewer ? | 19:30 |
| yoshimi-pink | please stop the pastebin fetish | 19:30 |
| marsfligth | Fyodorovna: Why not? even if private without happy customers the play finish | 19:30 |

| cousteau | or, have you tried with python KatawaShoujo.py | 19:31 |
| MrHanjrah | yoshimi-pink: www.pastebin.com , open that, copy what you tried to do (with error), post the final link here,,,is it that hard? | 19:31 |
| blink_ | hi, updated nvidia drivers or flash today, and now videos show up with flesh tones as blue, and transperencies are occuring between windows where absolute black should exist, anybody else run into this? | 19:31 |

| cousteau | MrHanjrah, nahhh... better paste.ubuntu.com | 19:32 |
| blink_ | running flash 11,2,202,228, and most recent nvidia-drivers package from oniric | 19:32 |
| yoshimi-pink | ./Katawashoujo.py | 19:32 |
| yoshimi-pink | bash: ./Katawashoujo.py: No such file or directory | 19:32 |
| yoshimi-pink | wow | 19:32 |
| cousteau | yoshimi-pink, now try python Katawashoujo.py | 19:32 |
| blink_ | definately an nvidia-driver issue, since black text in a headline is transparent too | 19:32 |
| MrHanjrah | cousteau: or better yet: http://sprunge.us :P | 19:32 |
| yoshimi-pink | that says broken pipe | 19:32 |
| cousteau | also, do this: ls -l Katawashoujo.py | 19:32 |
| yoshimi-pink | hold on I'll pastebin this | 19:32 |
| cousteau | MrHanjrah, that's the one used by the candide bot at ##c ... what's it good for? | 19:33 |
| marsfligth | ssta: It is partially true. Using 'gnome-session-fallback' many functions of version 2.x are missing. I mean 'applet indicators' an others | 19:33 |
| yoshimi-pink | http://pastebin.com/AKqwdd8j | 19:33 |
| ssta | marsfligth: yeah. It's the closest I can get... I'll look into the options again when precise releases | 19:34 |
| cousteau | oh, command-line pasting | 19:34 |
| MrHanjrah | cousteau: no need to open the brwoser at all, just cat command | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 19:34 |
| MrHanjrah | cousteau: yes :) | 19:34 |

| mody | now i have installed a new ubuntu and i still see thee message! | 19:41 |
| Zaitzev | mody: Installing Windows will mess up the grub | 19:41 |
| Fyodorovna | mody, have you checked if ubuntu is even there? | 19:41 |
| phoboshax | Question and what not, I've been trying for about a day to get tiny7 to install through VMWare on XP and it doesn't look like its going to let me partition off part of the hard drive and claim it as a primary read-write drive from within XP, if I use Wubi to create a temp Ubuntu install could I then use Wubi to make an actual Ubuntu install on some of the left over hdd space | 19:41 |
| phoboshax | and then | 19:41 |
| marsfligth | Anyway, after few years with Ubuntu, Ubuntu send me out, just for a wrong Ubuntu choice. If Ubuntu crew should be a bit more clever and democratic, it will be leave people free to move to 'Unity' or maintain the usual behavior about desktop environment, seen that the previous desktop environment is in use since 15/20 years, and impose a so strong change in few months is to me, a very rude impositon | 19:41 |
| mody | NOW I HAVE SDA1 ,SDA2,SDA3,SDA4 | 19:41 |
| phoboshax | use that to | 19:41 |
| phoboshax | owait this is not support | 19:41 |
| phoboshax | LOL COMPUTERS | 19:41 |
| goddard | Fyodorovna: not sure | 19:41 |
| Fyodorovna | goddard, you need that to hibernate. | 19:42 |
| mody | Zaitzev: i had windows long ago i just did recovery for it | 19:42 |
| Fyodorovna | mody, boot a ubuntu cd or usb open gparted and look if ubuntu is still on the HD. | 19:42 |
| goddard | Fyodorovna: actually my swap is only 4.7 | 19:43 |
| auronandace | marsfligth: feel free not to use unity, i use xfce | 19:43 |
| phoboshax | owait this is a support channel | 19:43 |
| Fyodorovna | goddard, how big is the ram? | 19:43 |
| goddard | Fyodorovna: 16 | 19:43 |
| cousteau | what does "only 4.7" mean? | 19:43 |
| MrHanjrah | damn16 gb ram? | 19:43 |
| Fyodorovna | goddard, this is all gigs? | 19:43 |
| cousteau | damn, that's more than half the disk space in my netbook | 19:43 |
| goddard | yes of course :D | 19:43 |
| MrHanjrah | loll i have 1 gb of it,,, | 19:44 |
| mody | Fyodorovna: my "try ubuntu" wont work i have just installed a fresh ubuntu again ow i think i have 2 installations of ubuntu | 19:44 |
| Fyodorovna | goddard, pprobably the problem hard to say really. | 19:44 |
| phoboshax | WOULD ANYONE PERHAPS, know anything about VMWare and NTFS and windows 7 installs within Ubuntu | 19:44 |
| phoboshax | perhaps | 19:44 |
| mody | my grub is messed up and i cant even boot with anything except the liveusb | 19:44 |
| cousteau | My netbook has 8 GB!!! | 19:44 |
| goddard | Fyodorovna: my hibernation has never really worked well | 19:44 |

| phoboshax | With the virtual desktops and the not having any writeable medium besides the hdd | 19:44 |
| Guest_____ | I am thinking about formatting my laptop and putting ubuntu 12.04 on it. Is the easiest way to format it to boot/load a OS from USB and format the harddrive from that USB OS? | 19:45 |
| phoboshax | and the inability of windows XP to change partition type | 19:45 |
| phoboshax | due to a lack of root | 19:45 |
| Fyodorovna | mody, you will need to boot the cd to a desktop to fix grub and get other info really. | 19:45 |
| phoboshax | and Ubuntu with its sudp | 19:45 |
| phoboshax | the read write being the important bit | 19:46 |
| mody | Fyodorovna: im downloading boot repair and will make a bootable usb, will that work? | 19:46 |
| BadCodSmell | Only time will tell. | 19:46 |
| phoboshax | and Ubuntu being able to act as a separate system and the old man with his sad old dog walking down the highway of regret | 19:46 |
| tom_uk | ubottu: Sorry, as I said, iphone not ipod. | 19:46 |
| ubottu | tom_uk: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:46 |
| phoboshax | and can Wubi be used to install a legit copy of Ubuntu on spare hdd space on the same disk | 19:47 |
| Fyodorovna | mody, possibly, but save the bootscript it makes if it doesn't to post. | 19:47 |
| scroat | is there a way to upgrade to the latest release via apt ? | 19:47 |
| phoboshax | preferably a partition | 19:47 |
| scroat | I don't feel like burning CD's and wiping my hard drive again | 19:47 |
| Fyodorovna | scroat, you have just one install? | 19:47 |
| KM0201 | phoboshax: why wouldn't you just boot the live cd and install normally? | 19:47 |
| phoboshax | because I dont have any cds | 19:47 |
| phoboshax | or pen drives | 19:47 |
| ssta | scroat: do-release-upgrade? | 19:47 |
| phoboshax | and because I am a stubborn person with a prescription to adderall | 19:47 |
| Zaitzev | can't wait to get my hands on a Raspberry Pi so I can get back to Windows. | 19:47 |
| phoboshax | and an open afternoon | 19:47 |
| Fyodorovna | scroat, not having a cd of a install is haphazard at best. | 19:47 |
| KM0201 | phoboshax: well, to my knowledge, the answer is no... | 19:48 |
| mody | if im using livecd to get in terminal how do i know if ubuntu is already installed? | 19:48 |
| scroat | ssta: thank you | 19:48 |
| KM0201 | mody: that made no sense. | 19:48 |
| phoboshax | so you are saying to me, phobos, that if I boot up wubi and then use that to take a portion of unallocated space on the disk and partition it in Ubuntu format that I could not then | 19:49 |
| Fyodorovna | mody, you can look in gparted, sudo fdisk -l will tell you of the partitions. | 19:49 |
| phoboshax | put a legit copy of Ubuntu | 19:49 |
| phoboshax | on that partition | 19:49 |
| ssta | phoboshax: not with wubi. Wubi installs to a sort of virtual disk... | 19:49 |
| phoboshax | yeah its virtual | 19:50 |
| phoboshax | but cant you just drop an ubuntu install on the partition and then boot record it in | 19:50 |
| KM0201 | phoboshax: thats pretty much exactly what we're saying | 19:50 |
| Fyodorovna | mody, to be honest we are missing a lot of info to really help you. | 19:50 |
| kant9015 | . | 19:50 |
| phoboshax | I mean I guess I could just do that with VMware wouldnt really need wubi | 19:50 |
| phoboshax | I havent used ubuntu in awhile does the OS have anything like an NTLDR | 19:51 |
| LukkuTZ | hello guys i was not able to boot from usb using unetbootin . i am running a windows 7 system atm, and it seems that it is not possible to boot from the usb . My dvd does not work either . Any idea about how to install ubuntu? | 19:51 |
| phoboshax | that would stop me from just telling the computer to do it | 19:51 |
| ssta | phoboshax: technically, yes. In reality...it requires a lot of understanding to do it that way...and if you get it wrong you can lose dats | 19:51 |
| ssta | data | 19:51 |
| Fyodorovna | !bootinfo | mody this would really help | 19:51 |
| ubottu | mody this would really help: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 19:51 |

So, now, just because someone has decided badly for all, I'd move to other desktop environments immature, and definitely less compatible and stable than the previous desktop environment. No, this is an explicit dictatorship. | 19:51 |
| LukkuTZ | is there any way to install it from the hard drive? | 19:51 |
| phoboshax | hmmmm understanding | 19:52 |
| phoboshax | can I just tell Ubuntu to use the partition from VMWare | 19:52 |
| mody | Fyodorovna: i had ubuntu and windows 7 side by side for months, today i did a recovery for windows and that messed up the grub, i cant boot to windows nor ubuntu anymore all i get is partition message with grub rescue , so now i run live cd and did another ubuntu installation thought i lost my old one and now i think i have more than 5 partition in /dev | 19:52 |
| LukkuTZ | please help me install ubuntu . I am really hating the windows now :P | 19:52 |
| phoboshax | or will it give me the same read-write problem | 19:52 |
| phoboshax | so as I am installing it virtually | 19:52 |
| phoboshax | I will just tell it to go on the hard drive instead of using the virtual hdd | 19:52 |
| auronandace | marsfligth: what? you can use what you want. gnome devs have stopped supporting gnome2, it is a dead codebase, so thats why it is no longer offered as an option | 19:53 |
| Fyodorovna | mody, your words mean very little to be honest to may variables here. You do not even know what is on thew HD as pf now. | 19:53 |
| auronandace | marsfligth: like i said, its your choice what you want to use, nobody is forcing anything on you | 19:53 |

| mody | and sda2 and sda3 and 4 and 5 and 6 | 19:54 |

| mody | and sda5 is linux | 19:54 |
| phoboshax | HYPOTHESIS: If I boot Ubuntu in VMware and then tell it to install on a partition instead of a virtual HDD would it be legit besides the master boot record Y/N | 19:54 |

| Guest_____ | Is it possible to scrub the harddrive (overwrite data 3 or so times) when boot/loading Ubuntu from CD? Would I have to download a program or is there default software I could use to do that? | 20:01 |
| Fyodorovna | Guest_____, no 3 time wipe use nuke and boot | 20:01 |
| KM0201 | Guest_____: you'd probably need to download boot n nuke | 20:01 |
| mody | replace + with new line | 20:01 |
| Guest_____ | thanks guys, I can find that on google after I boot from the Ubuntu cd? | 20:01 |
| ssta | Guest_____: dd would do that (but be a little slower) | 20:02 |

| Amoz | mody, do you have a CLI? | 20:02 |
| Fyodorovna | Guest_____, it is a bootable disc. | 20:02 |
| Amoz | mody, if so, just install pastebinit | 20:02 |
| Amoz | mody, sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 20:02 |
| Amoz | mody, then do fdisk -l | pastebinit | 20:03 |

| marsfligth | auronandace: my problem is that I am pc repairer and to many many users I suggested and installed Ubuntu during the last years. Now, with this Ugly copy of Macintosh for poor's, only new HW works with Unity, and it is full of problems. If was just for me, the problem doesn't exixt, but, I have to make work many different pc's, with low resources, but in need of all Ubuntu functionality and options. Now all has changed. The | 20:06 |
| marsfligth | problem is not the 2 0r 3 o some other denomination, the core is that its not reasonable to make a so drastic change w/o any reason that change completely the usage, hw request then $, and impose a totally different behavior to millions of people around the worlds. They did can purpose the new desktop environment just let it as an option/feature. I stop here, but the reasons are more and more. | 20:06 |
| Guest_____ | kk thanks for the advice. I will try my best. | 20:06 |
| ssta | luist: yeah, the command line tools will do that, as will the GUI tools. Why do you need to mix the two? | 20:06 |
| guntbert | marsfligth: ranting here will not help at all | 20:06 |
| Amoz | marsfligth, what are you complaining about? there are alternatives you know | 20:07 |
| Amoz | xubuntu, if you think ubuntu use too much resources | 20:07 |
| MrHanjrah | mody: fdisk -l. copy the output, vim 1.txt, paste the output there, save it, 'cat 1.txt | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us' , without the quotes | 20:07 |
| marsfligth | guntbert: Pleae, tell me where can anting. I went on Gnome web site, but they have'nt a public contact, only irc | 20:07 |
| CFHowlett | marsfligth lubuntu is another alternative... | 20:08 |
| syn-ack | I've heard that Lubuntu has really come a long way within the last release | 20:08 |
| syn-ack | I'm gonna have to check it out one of these days... | 20:08 |
| Myrtti | marsfligth: ranting isn't welcomed anywhere. Constructive criticism might be more welcome, but I'm not sure I'd want to recommend you any channels for that. This channel definitely is not it. | 20:09 |
| ssta | syn-ack: it was "okay" last time I looked. I used to run a Gnome2 on :0 and LXDE on :1, worked pretty well. Not the commonest configuration though :) | 20:09 |
| syn-ack | right... | 20:10 |
| marsfligth | Do you think is normal that a team that create the most used desktop enviroment, has not an email or a phone number on it/them official web site? to me they are afraid about comments about users like me | 20:10 |
| ssta | syn-ack: I completely failed to get it switching properly when I moved to a 4-headed setup, so I abandoned it | 20:10 |
| MonkeyDust | marsfligth i bet there's a client service | 20:10 |

| Si2100 | dont you need to formate the partiton to expand it? | 20:20 |

| Shylenol | Hello, I am trying to set up a PXE server on ubuntu server. I followed this: http://tinyurl.com/ybgd89j and the client PC can connect but i get the file not found message. (understandable) I am using a winxp boot disk that is extracted but how do i know which file to tell it to boot first? | 21:08 |
| Shylenol | is their a standard filetype PCs look for? | 21:08 |
| zandt | I installed plot boot manager, and apparently I boinked GRUB, because now it only gives me the windows xp/plop boot manager screen when I boot up instead of GRUB.... I'd like to either: fix grub or more preferably find a way to add my ubuntu instal to PLOP (my bios doesn't support USB booting,so PLOP is very useful) | 21:09 |

| nooblikesorange | test1 | 21:16 |
| nooblikesgrapes | test2 | 21:17 |
| Si2100 | BruceSousa Id use NTFS | 21:17 |
| angs | what is the use of "apt-get" on "sudo apt-get install git-core"? | 21:17 |
| Si2100 | as Mac can Read it.. but not right to... Windows.. Need i explain and Ubuntu and Read and Wright | 21:17 |
| nooblikesorange | imo it downloads the installation data | 21:17 |
| Si2100 | angs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool | 21:17 |
| BrunoSousa | hmm as said earlier, ubuntu newbie :) so linux as nice support for ntfs? | 21:18 |
| darkhalo117 | Openvpn is not initializing correctly. It says it doesn't have access to my bridged connection. Any pointers? | 21:18 |
| mkultra_ | if your a mac probably look up mac ports | 21:18 |
| BrunoSousa | hack solutions on mac have ruined an hdd for me befora | 21:18 |
| nooblikesorange | what do you mean support? do you have any problems? | 21:18 |
| Si2100 | BrunoSousa, Yeh, Seems nice | 21:18 |
| Si2100 | If you want to write NTFS ona mac you need a 3rd Party Software | 21:18 |
| BrunoSousa | si2100: i know, or use some hidden settings on macos, but couldn't ever fgot it working right before | 21:19 |
| emerica | snow leo can write, but not enabled by default | 21:19 |
| BrunoSousa | but then again, only interested on reading on mac now so it shouldn't be a problem | 21:19 |
| mkultra_ | you can mount ntfs or fat32 | 21:19 |
| mkultra_ | mac should be able to natively do it | 21:20 |
| Si2100 | But NTFS can carry more gb than FAT32 | 21:20 |
| Si2100 | Mac can only Read NTFS... dont ask my why tho | 21:20 |
| emerica | see http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090913140023382 | 21:20 |
| BrunoSousa | they can write | 21:20 |
| BrunoSousa | but it is not supported by default | 21:20 |
| emerica | ^^ true | 21:20 |
| BrunoSousa | or by apple | 21:20 |
| Si2100 | and put Linux on it | 21:20 |
| BrunoSousa | and by experience, you don't want to use ntfs or exfat on mac for writing | 21:21 |
| BrunoSousa | it tends to f* up | 21:21 |
| spiralJunkie | hi yo, sorry if I'm too dumb/this is too basic | 21:21 |
| CFHowlett | spiralJunkie ask away ... | 21:21 |
| emerica | ntfs has been ok here, just make sure you eject properly | 21:21 |
| emerica | or you will be asked to initialize the data back on a pc | 21:22 |
| Si2100 | But though you only wanted Mac to readit | 21:22 |
| emerica | toasting your disk | 21:22 |
| spiralJunkie | first time away from windows, put ubuntu on laptop | 21:22 |
| CFHowlett | spiralJunkie ... ok. and? | 21:23 |
| Si2100 | I got Ubuntu on my lapotop for past Year n a bit now | 21:23 |
| spiralJunkie | right | 21:23 |
| BrunoSousa | si2100 yep, only read from mac, so ill probably go with ntfs, thanks, was just saying that ntfs write on mac is a bit wobbly, | 21:23 |
| spiralJunkie | used yumi and an image I think I got from ubuntu site | 21:23 |
| spiralJunkie | install went well afaik, v fast | 21:23 |
| spiralJunkie | v pretty, etc etc | 21:24 |

| spiralJunkie | said it had to restart | 21:24 |
| spiralJunkie | so I restarted | 21:24 |

| spiralJunkie | now I get the mmultiboot menu, choose ubuntu | 21:24 |
| spiralJunkie | command line login, which I can do | 21:25 |
| ssfdre38 | what is the question? | 21:25 |
| spiralJunkie | what next? | 21:25 |
| ssfdre38 | spiralJunkie, are you on the command line or desktop? | 21:25 |
| spiralJunkie | cmd line | 21:26 |
| spiralJunkie | I wasn't expecting it | 21:26 |
| spiralJunkie | I guess I thought it was gonna have a gui immediately | 21:26 |
| Si2100 | what you installed ? | 21:26 |
| Si2100 | Ubuntu Desktop or Server ? | 21:26 |
| ssfdre38 | you got the server version that is why but its a quick fix just type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 21:26 |
| spiralJunkie | oh | 21:27 |
| Si2100 | its oKies | 21:27 |
| spiralJunkie | I'll try that ssfdre38 ty | 21:27 |
| spiralJunkie | just gotta kill a droid | 21:27 |
| Si2100 | Nooo | 21:27 |
| ssfdre38 | "These are not the droids your looking for" | 21:27 |

| codazoda | Hi. I'm typing my password to login to Oneric. It's prompting, however, for my keyring password. I'm not using auto login. The passwords match (I reset them to match again to be sure). Still, I'm getting the prompt. Any ideas why? | 21:28 |
| CFHowlett | !ot everyone | 21:28 |
| * Si2100 that us now the droid you want | 21:28 | |
| === Guest11935 is now known as DJ | ||
| Si2100 | codazoda, it should be the same, unless youve changed the ROOT | 21:28 |
| codazoda | Si2100, changed the root password? My user, root, and keyring password are all the same. | 21:30 |
| spiralJunkie | ssfdre38 it says: ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version | 21:30 |
| spiralJunkie | among other things | 21:30 |
| Si2100 | codazoda, thats the only think i can think of | 21:30 |
| Si2100 | spiralJunkie, Download ubuntu Desktop then and install it ? | 21:30 |
| ssfdre38 | then see sudo service unity start | 21:30 |
| spiralJunkie | ok | 21:30 |
| spiralJunkie | siI think I did | 21:30 |
| spiralJunkie | Si2100 * | 21:31 |
| Si2100 | If you did, youd get a GUI LightDM login screen | 21:31 |
| Si2100 | brb dudes | 21:32 |
| spiralJunkie | tight . now it saus unity:unrecognised service | 21:32 |
| codazoda | Yeah, so my user password, root password, and keyring password are all the same. I'm logging in (not autologin) and it's making me type the password twice (once for the keyring). Haven't been able to figure out why. | 21:32 |
| hmw | I installed myspell-de-de and aspell-de but Gedit still doesn't show German in "Tools / Set Language"... what do I have to do in order to get the spell checker? | 21:32 |
| spiralJunkie | says * | 21:32 |
| spiralJunkie | typo city here | 21:32 |
| ssfdre38 | spiralJunkie, what did you download? | 21:32 |
| spiralJunkie | ubuntu-10.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso | 21:33 |
| mody | why would windows 7 recovery on a dual boot destroy ubuntu? | 21:34 |
| Si2100 | bck | 21:34 |
| Myrtti | codazoda: if you indeed have a root password enabled, that alone can be a reason why things don't work as intended. | 21:34 |
| ssfdre38 | if you want a LTS spiralJunkie, i would of waited for 10 | 21:34 |
| ssfdre38 | 12 i ment | 21:34 |
| mody | i have been working for 8 months on ubuntu and all my files and projects are there and now lost everything... | 21:34 |
| mody | i'm almost crying... | 21:34 |
| Si2100 | mody, the only thing it would remove is the grub sector | 21:34 |
| spiralJunkie | ssfdre38 I don't know what you just said | 21:34 |
| Logan_ | !fixgrub | mody | 21:34 |
| ubottu | mody: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 21:34 |
| KM0201 | mody: because the recovery returns evverything to "factory default".... it probably nuked your U buntu partition | 21:34 |
| mody | i fixed it | 21:35 |
| Si2100 | mody, you just need to reinstall GRUb | 21:35 |
| mody | i fixed grub | 21:35 |
| Si2100 | all is not losted | 21:35 |
| KM0201 | Si2100: thats not necessarily true.. its not a grub problem | 21:35 |
| Si2100 | oww | 21:35 |
| mody | but before i fix grub i did ubuntu reinstall and it just installed ubuntu it didnt give me any options to overide my old one just acted there was no ubuntu | 21:35 |
| ssfdre38 | spiralJunkie, i was trying to say is that i would of waited for the 12.04 LTS that is coming out in less then a month but how did you install 10.04 | 21:35 |
| mody | and now in grub i see new ubuntu installation and windows :( | 21:35 |
| mody | where did my old ubuntu go? | 21:35 |
| KM0201 | mody: because their wasn't an "old" ubuntu | 21:35 |
| skulltip | has anyone tried playing open arena in unity? | 21:36 |
| spiralJunkie | oh ok | 21:36 |
| mody | KM0201: you mean windows deleted it?\ | 21:36 |
| mody | its windows recovery on sony vaio | 21:36 |
| KM0201 | mody: "old ubuntu" when away whyen you did the restore w/ the restore partition, the resttore partition, takes the machine to factory defaults, i'm assuming your machine was not dual booting from the factory | 21:36 |
| ssfdre38 | spiralJunkie, how did you install Ubuntu? | 21:36 |
| spiralJunkie | I installed 10 because it's what was available. I don't think I know what an LTS is | 21:36 |
| mody | KM0201: yes it didnt come dual boot | 21:36 |
| ssfdre38 | LTS - Long Term Support or 5 Years and not 18 Months | 21:36 |
| === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|znc | ||
| KM0201 | mody: thus my point, you did a factory restore on the machine.... so... what did you think was going to happen? | 21:37 |
| mody | :( | 21:37 |
| mody | so sad day | 21:37 |
| KM0201 | mody: no disrespect, you have only yourself to blame | 21:37 |
| ssfdre38 | spiralJunkie, again how is it installed? | 21:37 |
| mody | windows sucks and so is ubuntu :( | 21:37 |
| spiralJunkie | how is it instsalled? as in, the process I went through? | 21:38 |
| mody | i wanted windows for photoshop | 21:38 |
| Si2100 | Could of used a VM | 21:38 |
| mody | and wanted ubuntu for ssh mostly | 21:38 |
| === XuMuK|znc is now known as XuMuK | ||
| spiralJunkie | downloaded the iso, used yumi to make a bootable usb stick | 21:38 |
| ddls-devbox | ^_^ | 21:38 |
| mody | and now i think mac is best since it can run both | 21:38 |
| mody | im too sad | 21:38 |
| KM0201 | mody: then use windows for photoshop and ubuntu ssh... you're comparing to unrelated issues, to your inability to understand what a factory restore does, it's not either OS's fault, its yours | 21:38 |
| JelloPop | mody: gimp and put tools to gimp from photoshop | 21:38 |
| ssfdre38 | spiralJunkie, as in, dual boot, installed inside of windows, sole os | 21:38 |
| spiralJunkie | oh, ok | 21:38 |
| spiralJunkie | I think dual boot | 21:38 |
| Si2100 | brb | 21:39 |
| mody | gimp sucks | 21:39 |
| === mtrd` is now known as HopitalDesDinosa | ||
| spiralJunkie | but the only windows available at boot is win7 recovery | 21:39 |
| detrix42 | when I bring up the printer control app, I see no way to get root permission. And I am not sure what the name of the program is to gksudo in the terminal. What is the name of that app? | 21:39 |
| === HopitalDesDinosa is now known as mtrd` | ||
| spiralJunkie | well | 21:39 |
| spiralJunkie | windows 7 (loader) is on there | 21:39 |
| mody | KM0201: how does windows reset things to factory and when it does a reboot while recovering it wont come back because of the grub problem | 21:39 |
| ssfdre38 | spiralJunkie, you might need to redo the stick cause it might be corrupted | 21:39 |
| JelloPop | mody: Whatever get real.. No way all those tools and paint brushes would cost under 1000 dallors..U do now u can add to gimp? | 21:40 |
| spiralJunkie | I'll give that a crack | 21:40 |
| KM0201 | mody: because grub is on the MBR of the drive, which the factory restore does not touch | 21:40 |
| KM0201 | mody: if you had had grub on a separate /boot partition, rest assured, you'd have no clue at all that Ubuntu had ever been on that machine | 21:40 |
| meerkats | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download: Im making a live cd, in my case the options are for 32 and 64 bits: only the 32 bits appears as recommended: is it so because 64 bits is unstable or because it has recognized that my machine already uses 32 bits? | 21:40 |
| spiralJunkie | I guess I can remove the win 7 installation, just overwrite all tthings during ubuntu install? | 21:40 |
| ssfdre38 | KM0201, it does touch it cause its formatting the hdd | 21:41 |
| ssfdre38 | spiralJunkie, do you want win 7? | 21:41 |
| KM0201 | ssfdre38: it can't format itself. | 21:41 |
| KM0201 | it formats partitions, not the entire drive | 21:41 |

| cuddylier | Also how do I add users and add a password for them | 21:42 |
| KM0201 | ssfdre38: i'm not saying *it can't* i imagine it all depends on how the manufacturer sets up the restore process.... i've had experiences both ways, someitmes it does, sometimes it doesn't | 21:42 |
| spiralJunkie | ok ssfdre38 I'm reinstalling it now | 21:42 |
| ddls-devbox | I am amused by the problem who KM0201 is talking to. | 21:42 |

| ssfdre38 | spiralJunkie, do you just want Ubuntu on your system? | 21:42 |
| mody | i didnt get sad when my grand me passed away as much as im sad now | 21:43 |
| spiralJunkie | yes ssfdre38 | 21:43 |

| spiralJunkie | ok, [erase and use the entire disk] | 21:43 |

| KM0201 | mody: fear not, if you're that careless while restoring an OS, not reading documentation, etc.. you will have far darker days in dealing w/ computer probs | 21:46 |
| spiralJunkie | ok ssfdre38 the install process keeps telling me how easy ubuntu is designed to be. I got a bad feeling | 21:46 |
| JelloPop | mody: backups, backups, backups.. Only a feeling. It will pass. I figure this is the first time using Linux.. Srry for the problems look up CloneZilla ita life saver. | 21:46 |
| KM0201 | JelloPop: still only works if you actually "do the backup" | 21:47 |
| Tuna-Fish | This is a really daft question: after installing fglrx, where exactly does it put the catalyst control center binary? | 21:47 |
| KM0201 | the easiest thing, build a nas, and store all data on network drives. | 21:47 |
| KM0201 | lol | 21:47 |

| JelloPop | KM0201: Well this is a help forum. Im not going to debate this! Have a good day :) ! | 21:56 |
| spiralJunkie | well shit | 21:57 |
| KM0201 | JelloPop: i didn't say it wasn't a help forum..., and there's no point in debating, you'll lose. | 21:57 |
| Si2100 | what | 21:57 |
| spiralJunkie | said restart, it's just hanging on a background image | 21:57 |
| justus | hi | 21:58 |
| angs | while a program update itself, the download get stucks, for example "Receiving objects: 18% (22540/125221), 8.66 MiB | 332 KiB/s " it nevers continue to load. what can I make it continue? | 21:58 |

| justus | um, I got a pretty strange problem that is in all likelyhood driver related: When my screen brightness setting passes a certain value the screen starts to flicker madly (the brightness changing repidly) | 21:59 |
| Tuna-Fish | angs: is your disk full? | 21:59 |
| justus | it is allright in low settings but as soon as I get above the second level it starts the flickerdance ;) | 21:59 |
| JelloPop | KM0201: Lose a silly arguement! lol | 21:59 |
| angs | Tuna-Fish: no I have enough space and there is no problem with my connection | 21:59 |
| Wiz_KeeD | if i connect to a box using ssh, what is the easiest way of downloading 2 folders from that box? | 22:01 |
| KM0201 | JelloPop: i'm not the one who felt so passionate about as to correct someone when I didn't know what i was talking about. | 22:01 |
| mrdeb | when is ubuntu beta 2 out | 22:01 |
| angs | maybe the internet source that the program updates have a problem, but I dont know what I can do | 22:01 |
| ddls-devbox | angs: if it hasnt completed the download, why not just restart? | 22:01 |
| spiralJunkie | ok ssfdre38 installing again seems to have worked | 22:01 |
| angs | I did twice control C then start it again, but it always stuck at the same point | 22:02 |
| spiralJunkie | I have a desktop with icons'n'shit | 22:02 |
| spiralJunkie | tyvm | 22:02 |
| ssfdre38 | spiralJunkie, cool jsust run the updates | 22:02 |
| zandt | I installed plop boot manager... accidentally boinked GRUB so I can't back to ubuntu without the LIVEUSB. how should I go back fixing it? (within the liveusb) | 22:02 |
| pangolin | spiralJunkie, Please don't swear in here | 22:02 |
| angs | it worked on the third time:) | 22:02 |
| ddls-devbox | angs: and there was celebration and nudeness. We are all pleased. | 22:03 |
| JelloPop | KM0201: That is not my point! lol... drama ... when were there is none ! | 22:03 |

| ddls-devbox | angs: that is what I tell girls. "IT WILL WORK THE THIRD TIME!"... | 22:03 |
| spiralJunkie | dunno ssfdre38 I gotta get an internet connection first | 22:03 |
| KM0201 | JelloPop: then why do you keep harping on the subject? | 22:03 |
| ddls-devbox | They do believe me. | 22:03 |
| ddls-devbox | ask KM0201 | 22:03 |
| KM0201 | lol | 22:04 |
| angs | hehehe | 22:04 |
| ddls-devbox | KM0201: I have choosen you. You are my pokemon. | 22:04 |
| angs | :D | 22:05 |
| JelloPop | look came here to ask question not debate.. SO I was wanting to know sense the update to unity is the desktop enviroment running better have the issues gone away from the desktop being a more functional peice! | 22:05 |
| cuddylier | When I use sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf how do I see all the lines? | 22:06 |
| jimcak234 | hi, im new, im reading this book, it says "Set NIC 2 to have a static IP address of 172.168.1.1 /24." how do i do that? | 22:06 |
| cuddylier | And where in that config does it say about a password for users | 22:06 |
| jrib | cuddylier: you mean, how to scroll? | 22:06 |
| cuddylier | Yeah | 22:06 |
| jrib | cuddylier: you just hit down | 22:06 |
| JelloPop | peice = enviroment | 22:06 |
| cuddylier | All the lines dont show even scrolling | 22:06 |
| jrib | cuddylier: down arrow | 22:06 |
| cuddylier | Ohhh | 22:06 |
| cuddylier | Thanks | 22:06 |
| cuddylier | Also, in the config it doesn't mention about passwords for the ftp users | 22:07 |
| ddls-devbox | lol | 22:07 |
| cuddylier | How do I set a password? | 22:07 |
| ddls-devbox | I love this place. | 22:07 |
| JelloPop | srry should have used puncucation ops... run on sentences.. ouch | 22:07 |
| cuddylier | Also, how do I save it when I'm done? | 22:07 |
| KM0201 | JelloPop: unity opinions vary widely.... personally, i think its unfixable, so my answer to you would be no, its not fixed | 22:07 |
| ddls-devbox | Its full of joy and amazment. | 22:07 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: set a password for what? | 22:07 |
| jrib | cuddylier: you can search with ctrl-w, you can exit with ctrl-x, you can save with ctrl-o (though exiting will prompt you to save as well). As for the password, you'll have to consult vsftp's docs | 22:08 |
| ddls-devbox | cuddylier: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nano-basics-guide.xml | 22:08 |
| cuddylier | I have looked at vsftp's docs | 22:08 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: what exactly are you trying to do? | 22:08 |
| ddls-devbox | cuddylier: I found it using the internet machine. | 22:08 |
| cuddylier | I want to add users to the ftp server and give them passwords | 22:09 |
| JelloPop | KM0201: Currently using LinuxMint. Not sure even cinnamon, gnome-shell or unity are a good replacement for gnome 2 :( | 22:09 |
| ddls-devbox | KM0201: I ask you this! What are your credentials to answer all these innocent persons questions? Tell me now! | 22:09 |
| KM0201 | ddls-devbox: no credentials, just learned by the school of hard knocks. | 22:10 |
| ddls-devbox | Ill tell your mom you watch text all nights. | 22:10 |
| cuddylier | I still cant find how to give users passwords :( | 22:10 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: what are you trying to do... giving users passwords is a fairly simple process, but i thought your problem was with vsftpd | 22:10 |
| cuddylier | Yeah, with vsftpd | 22:10 |
| ddls-devbox | KM0201: that could be an answer to the question "why should I hire you as an exotic dancer?". I like you. | 22:11 |
| * ddls-devbox stares into the distant | 22:11 | |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: well, vsftpd uses the username passwords.. so if user1's password is aaa, then his ftp password will be aaa | 22:11 |
| ddls-devbox | cuddylier: http://linux-hacks.blogspot.se/2008/09/adding-new-users-to-vsftpd.html | 22:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | if i connect to a box using ssh, what is the easiest way of downloading 2 folders from that box? | 22:13 |
| KM0201 | ddls-devbox: thats a long and convoluted way to go about it. | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: there is no best, I suggest you connect to the SSHfS using nautilus and you can download stuff that way | 22:13 |
| ejv | Wiz_KeeD: Filezilla client, using SFTP, is the easiest way. | 22:13 |
| cuddylier | How do I change my ubuntu password? | 22:13 |
| ddls-devbox | KM0201: I just found this thing called Gogol. Its amazing. | 22:14 |
| cuddylier | If I change my ubuntu password, would it change the ftp account password too? | 22:14 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: affirmative | 22:14 |
| Wiz_KeeD | no other easier way? | 22:14 |
| ejv | Wiz_KeeD: there's also WinSCP which I'm quite fond of. | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | cuddylier: to change your password, run: passwd | 22:14 |
| ejv | Wiz_KeeD: we're talking like 10 seconds of configuration. doesn't get much easier than that. | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: what can be easier than nautilus? | 22:14 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: easiest thing to do, is create a user, that is only for ftp access... ("ftpuser").. then put any files for the ftp server, int hat users home folder. | 22:14 |
| JelloPop | ejv: that sounds like a college question I imagine that is not the right answer because there using a unix system :) | 22:14 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i was thinking something directly from the terminal | 22:14 |
| cuddylier | Yeah..I kinda need the files on this user, might be easier | 22:15 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: if anyone starts being a douche (ie, uploading porn to your FTP, or whatever) just change that usernames password... problem solved | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !scp | 22:15 |
| ubottu | scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 22:15 |
| cuddylier | Okay | 22:15 |
| goddard | ok so made my swap bigger maybe I can use the hibernate function now | 22:15 |
| ddls-devbox | KM0201: uploading porn is not being a douche. Its saving you time find it. | 22:15 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: thats how i've always ran my FTP, it works fine for me | 22:15 |
| goddard | any idea why my toolbar icons disappear ? does it have something to do with docky? | 22:16 |
| cuddylier | I just tried connecting to my ftp, it wont connect...What port is default? | 22:16 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: 21 | 22:16 |
| JelloPop | Wiz_KeeD: could try commandlinefu.com | 22:16 |
| cuddylier | k | 22:16 |
| ddls-devbox | I never get to ask questions in these channels. Its making me sad. Its such a nice place. | 22:17 |
| FernandoCueva | hey I need to access my floppy disk on ubuntu 10.04 how to? the file system is unknown | 22:17 |
| KM0201 | did you forward port 21 on the router? (or if you're on the same network... you can just connect to the local IP) | 22:17 |
| cuddylier | It worked :) | 22:17 |
| cuddylier | Thanks | 22:17 |
| FernandoCueva | that was a noob question tou | 22:17 |
| ddls-devbox | You are welcome cuddylier. I did all I could for you. | 22:17 |
| rallias_ | Is it possible to chown a file to a user and a group that user isn't a part of? | 22:17 |
| panzon | hi | 22:18 |
| ddls-devbox | hi | 22:18 |
| ejv | rallias_: that question makes little to no sense | 22:18 |
| panzon | do you know how to change gnome to xfce ? | 22:18 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: if you use you're on the network, you can use the local IP, and you don't need to open/forward a port | 22:18 |
| cuddylier | I've got a dedicated server and it works remotely on my main pc :) | 22:18 |
| ddls-devbox | No. I just say 'hi', and harass KM0201. | 22:19 |
| Myrth | hi, i've just installed ubuntu from livecd, but i was required to insmod driver for boot ssd. how do i add drivers to permanent installation so they will be loaded before boot? thanks | 22:19 |
| KM0201 | cudd OK | 22:19 |
| rallias_ | ejv let me rephrase it. I have a file chmodded to 0750. The user is derp. The group is the same group that PHP-FastCGI runs under. Derp is not part of that group. Is that allowed, or will it cause complications? | 22:19 |
| neeze | can anyone help me with torrents | 22:19 |
| FernandoCueva | is there a wey I can change the language of ubuntu once installed | 22:19 |
| KM0201 | FernandoCueva: of course | 22:19 |
| ddls-devbox | panzon: To run xfce just log out of gnome and there will be an option on the log in screen to log into xfce. | 22:20 |
| KM0201 | FernandoCueva: this is kind of old, but it should work.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17528/change-the-user-interface-language-in-ubuntu/ | 22:20 |
| ejv | rallias_: if you set strange ownership privileges, ubuntu is not going to question you. | 22:21 |
| rallias_ | mmk | 22:21 |
| JelloPop | ddls-devbox: I think its that handle ur using as a name. Srry cuddylier sounds so much more like a soft bear I can cuddle with. then ur name sounds like a ubuntu package | 22:21 |
| OerHeks | Myrth i edit /etc/fstab to add discard,noatime | 22:21 |
| JelloPop | ddls-devbox: lol | 22:21 |
| cuddylier | lol# | 22:21 |
| ddls-devbox | JelloPop: I dont want you talking about my package. I feel naked and ashamed as it is. | 22:21 |
| cuddylier | Last question, how do I change the directory the user "ryan" has access to? | 22:21 |
| cuddylier | Where in the config file? | 22:22 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: on the FTP? | 22:22 |
| cuddylier | yeah | 22:22 |
| JelloPop | ddls-devbox: I see we got comedians in here :) | 22:22 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: thats kind of a disadvantage of the way FTP servers work.. to my knowledge, when you jail a user, they are jailed to their home folder (i looked extensively into this)... so either, they have total, unsecured access to the drive, or they are jailed to the home folder | 22:22 |
| ddls-devbox | JelloPop: You would develop a humoristic side as well if you were locked into a faraday cage for two days doing neuroscience on ferrets. | 22:23 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: thats why i created a user, and anything on the FTP, goes in that users home folder, | 22:23 |
| === jordan_ is now known as jordan | ||
| cuddylier | Oh.. okay..I only have access to home folder atm | 22:23 |
| cuddylier | Also, when I try to edit a file, it says "permission denied" | 22:23 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: thats how you should have it to be truthful. | 22:23 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: hwat file? | 22:23 |
| cuddylier | Like a file on ftp | 22:23 |
| cuddylier | Using filezilla | 22:23 |
| ddls-devbox | Not a file to get out of jail? | 22:23 |
| cuddylier | I tried renaming a file | 22:23 |
| ddls-devbox | Like the one Im using to get out of this faraday cage. | 22:24 |
| panzon | ddls-devbox: i just see Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2D I don't seee anything about xfce | 22:24 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: that question isn't really making much sense | 22:24 |
| KM0201 | panzon: did you install xfce? | 22:24 |
| cuddylier | I logged into the ftp account on Filezilla, I tried to rename a file and it said "Permission Denied" | 22:24 |
| panzon | no | 22:24 |
| cuddylier | Or even deleting a file or anything, it wont allow me | 22:24 |
| KM0201 | panzon: well, thats why its not there | 22:24 |
| nathaneltitane | hello guys: can I use dd and /dev/zero to nuke an sdcard that refuses to function on my android? | 22:24 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: ok... | 22:24 |
| ddls-devbox | :D | 22:24 |
| OerHeks | nathaneltitane, sure | 22:25 |
| panzon | no, at first I install the regular distribution, then I wrote apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 22:25 |
| KM0201 | panzon: ok | 22:25 |
| nathaneltitane | any block size to specify? | 22:25 |
| pupuser66d36a | i have a failed hibernate ... won't reboot and does not even get to grub (though i can boot off livecd ... how to get it booting again? | 22:26 |

| === dave is now known as happyface | ||
| cuddylier | How would I allow the ftp account to edit files rather than just look at them? | 22:26 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: did you allow read/write access, in vsftpd.conf? | 22:26 |
| cuddylier | What part is it in the config? I'm looking through it atm | 22:27 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: you should see a spot that says something like #WRITE_ENABLE=YES" or something like that... | 22:27 |
| BobMarley | hi | 22:27 |
| cuddylier | let me see | 22:27 |
| BobMarley | which is the command to see the registers value? | 22:27 |
| BobMarley | intel cpu | 22:27 |
| panzon | so, the only way to run xfce is to download a xubuntu and re install everything?? | 22:28 |
| angs | if I do not use ubuntu for 5 min or so, it locks itself and each time I need to type the password to unlock it. how can I disable this annoying setting or set a longer time for locking? | 22:28 |
| cuddylier | Do I need to restart the ftp server for the changes to take affect? | 22:28 |
| BobMarley | angs, go to settings screensaver | 22:28 |
| Myrth | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 Internal Server Error ? | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | panzon: you can install xfce4 package and get xfce | 22:29 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: yes service vsftpd stop wait 5sec, service vsftpd start | 22:29 |
| Fyodorovna | panzon, should run xubuntu, did you choose it from the login? | 22:29 |
| angs | BobMarley, thanks bob | 22:29 |
| KM0201 | if you want light, just skip xfce, and go lxde... xfce is almost as bloated as KDE nowdays | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | cuddylier: if you use sftp, it will use the Linux permissions already in the OS | 22:30 |
| panzon | but I get no options on the start up | 22:30 |
| cuddylier | What is sftp? | 22:30 |
| panzon | it said Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2d | 22:30 |
| ddls-devbox | Ok, I have a question. I have connected to my lab partner through a series of tubes. Now he wont kill the connection. Can I resolve this conflict? | 22:30 |
| cuddylier | Still permission denied :( | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | panzon: click the cog next to your username on the login screen | 22:30 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: i think its just another ftp protocol | 22:31 |
| Fyodorovna | panzon, use nics please, did you click on the gear? | 22:31 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: in a terminal type this sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 22:31 |
| cuddylier | I got this error when I stopped the ftp thing http://pastebin.com/wYEGSiJj | 22:31 |
| panzon | when I click that option I look ubutu and ubuntu 2d | 22:31 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: pastebin the contents of your vsftpd.conf | 22:31 |

| Fyodorovna | panzon, ands you ran sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desk top correct? | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: yes its the default file manager | 22:32 |

| JelloPop | ActionParsnip: Is there a way see the current frame rate, frame size and resolution on a video using ffmpeg? Looked all over internet and most sites say u have to use common sense! | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: if you add it as a bookmark, it will make access easier later | 22:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | the last connection? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | JelloPop: I believe mencoder cando it | 22:34 |
| cuddylier | How do I paste it here when It's on my dedicated server? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: yes in the global menu, you can make the bookamrk there | 22:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ah just as i made to my www folder and some others | 22:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sweet | 22:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hopefully i won't need to scavange for old files anymore | 22:34 |
| KM0201 | cuddylier: on the server sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 22:34 |
| JelloPop | ActionParsnip: Then which is better to use to convert video? mencoder or ffmpeg? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | JelloPop: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/2207/get-video-information-with-ffmpeg | 22:35 |
| cuddylier | Then after I installed that? | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | JelloPop: neither is better, both are different | 22:35 |

| panzon | ActionParsnip do I need to install also that package also if I already install xubuntu-desktop? | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | panzon: it should be included if you installed taht | 22:36 |

| FernandoCueva | I have a question | 22:37 |
| panzon | maybe it will solve the problem | 22:37 |
| Fyodorovna | Decksmasher, we went through this already gnome 2 is gone. | 22:37 |

| Fyodorovna | aguitel, cinnamon is not supported here basically, but should install and work with kde. | 23:04 |
| Fyodorovna | aguitel, it will call for ant dependents on the install if done correctly. | 23:05 |

| zandt | hi everyone. I installed PLOP boot manager, but it appears to have boinked my grub menu (my pc now boots straight to the PLOP/windows selection). I have a liveusb, but not sure how to [safely] fix grub back to the default loader/menu on boot | 23:05 |
| Fyodorovna | aguitel, it wont be over kde but along with. | 23:05 |
| Pupuser402 | i have a failed hibernate and would like to know how to reboot ... does not reach grub though it will boot into a livecd | 23:06 |
| aguitel | Fyodorovna, yes | 23:06 |
| aguitel | along | 23:06 |
| Fyodorovna | zandt, you can only install it on windows, can you be a bit more specific. | 23:06 |
| zandt | I installed PLOP from windows (dual boot pc, ubuntu/windows). I can get to Windows through PLOP, but can't get to ubuntu & I can't get to my grub menu to select ubuntu | 23:07 |
| zandt | (I am currently in windows) | 23:07 |
| Fyodorovna | zandt, were you having problems booting windows? | 23:08 |
| zandt | Fyodorovna: no not at all. my bios doesn't support USB booting and previously I had used PLOP when I needed to boot from USB | 23:08 |
| zandt | and I guess I fudged it up along the way | 23:08 |
| Fyodorovna | zandt, you remove plop from windows first. | 23:08 |
| Fyodorovna | !grub | zandt | 23:09 |
| ubottu | zandt: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 23:09 |
| zandt | Fyodorovna: is that safe? I mean, if I remove PLOP, and then GRUB doesn't come back... I would have problem as the cd drive doesn't work and my bios doesn't support USB booting | 23:09 |
| Fyodorovna | zandt, leave plop ifg you like I guess grub needs to be in the mbr if it is standard partitioning without a ubuntu boot partition. | 23:10 |
| Fyodorovna | zandt, I would use a plop bot disc personally. | 23:11 |
| Fyodorovna | bot* | 23:11 |
| meerkats | to add a ubuntu 11.10.iso copied in a usb stick to software sources its enough with copying the .iso into a usb and adding it via synaptic, isnt it? | 23:11 |
| zandt | Fyodorovna: I would have liked to as well. it's an old machine and it's falling apart. thanks, checking out the link | 23:11 |
| panzon | Hi, someone knows how to uninstall gnome and all its pannels I already install xfce, and I don't need anymore gnome stuffs | 23:12 |
| Fyodorovna | zandt, this usb loader has plop as a install on it as well as allowing multiple ISO's with a menu to choose the boot. | 23:12 |
| Fyodorovna | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 23:13 |
| Fyodorovna | zandt, I think it will work to bot the stick not sure really, maybe not. | 23:13 |
| Fyodorovna | boot | 23:13 |
| zandt | I can boot from the USB, no problems there | 23:13 |
| zandt | oh sorry, didn't see | 23:14 |
| zandt | :) | 23:14 |
| Fyodorovna | zandt, you say this "my bios doesn't support USB booting" then this "I can boot from the USB, no problems there" which is it | 23:15 |
| Fyodorovna | with plop I assume. | 23:16 |

| meerkats | ok, I have experienced growing problems with each update of ubuntu. To try to get back some stability (now is awfully slow to the point of being unusable) I thought installing with that cd box ticked on would give me back some of that cherished stability | 23:29 |
