| met12327 | Greetings, one and all. Someone please tell me the correct incantation to move a file from ~root to ~($USER), please. Many thanks. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Monotoko | gadien, I've just been informed that approach may not work... but if not, just edit: /etc/default/grub and set the default OS in there | 00:01 |
| scialex | met12327: cp ~root/<file> $HOME/<dest>; sudo chown $USER <file at dest> | 00:02 |
| Monotoko | (then run update-grub) | 00:02 |
| bartek | Hi there. Is the "Alternate CD" listed here: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/ -- What I should use if I have a server installation too? If I download the serer cd, it just fails to do the upgrade, I just don't want to be upgrading to a desktop version | 00:02 |
| met12327 | scialex, I've tried that several times. Epic fail every time. | 00:02 |
| scialex | met12327: sorry forgot the first sudo. it should be -> sudo cp ~root/<file> $HOME/<dest>; sudo chown $USER <file at dest> | 00:03 |
| met12327 | Ah. So I don't have to CD to ~root to make it work, then. | 00:03 |
| Ogredude | this is weird. Server 11.10, we just replaced the video card in it and now the box boots and appears to work just fine, but the console is stuck at "Magic Number" in the dmesg scroll | 00:04 |
| scialex | met12327: no but you must be root (hence the sudo) to do anything in /root and to copy anything in it. | 00:04 |
| Ogredude | alt+f1, f2, etc doesn't pull up the other consoles, numlock light goes on and off but I can't get it to otherwise respond at the console | 00:04 |
| Ogredude | but the system is working fine | 00:04 |
| gadien | @Monotoko: fyi, startup manager is no longer being maintained.. use grub customizer instead | 00:04 |
| Ogredude | apparently, anyway | 00:04 |
| met12327 | That's where I was getting it wrong. Thanks much, Scialex. | 00:04 |
| Monotoko | gadien, thank you! I'm a bit of an old timer ;) | 00:05 |
| wylde | !nomodeset | Ogredude | 00:05 |
| ubottu | Ogredude: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 00:05 |
| scialex | met12327: :) | 00:05 |
| Ogredude | wylde: ok that should do it, thanks muchly! | 00:05 |
| gadien | @Monotoko no probs, we're all here to help each other right :) | 00:06 |
| Edler | guys | 00:07 |
| Edler | question | 00:07 |
| Yadira-007 | can i get system monitor on panel on 12.4 im using gnome-sell clasicc view | 00:07 |
| Edler | what's the disadvantage today of installing 11.04 rather than 10.04LTS ? | 00:07 |
| Yadira-007 | Edler, is none | 00:07 |
| Yadira-007 | 10,4 has more support | 00:07 |
| Edler | ah okay | 00:08 |
| Edler | i just fucken want to install php | 00:08 |
| Edler | but a version later than 5.3.2 | 00:08 |
| scialex | edler: 11.04 is not an lts release, it goes off support very soon. also 10.04 has gnome2. If you are thinking about 11.04 just go with 11.10 instead. | 00:08 |
| Yadira-007 | 10.4 i recomend 12.4 | 00:08 |
| === revolts is now known as diegovieira | ||
| bastidrazor | Edler: 12.04 comes out in a few weeks. that may be the best option | 00:08 |
| scialex | edler: you could always just compile it from sorce, most recent version that way. | 00:08 |
| Yadira-007 | if i have beta and the final comes out,,dos mine update to final vertion | 00:09 |
| scialex | Yadira-007: yes | 00:09 |
| Yadira-007 | i want to know if i can get the system monitor applet on panel | 00:09 |
| Yadira-007 | im on 12.4 | 00:10 |
| Yadira-007 | i can see the workplace switcher | 00:10 |
| wylde | !precise | Yadira-007 | 00:10 |
| ubottu | Yadira-007: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 00:10 |
| Edler | is compiling php from source the same process as letting apt-get install php5 do it ? | 00:10 |
| born2troll | someone know how the opengl developemen libary is called? | 00:10 |
| scialex | edler: no it is not. | 00:10 |
| Ogredude | wylde: I never knew linux did anything with video drivers before X started, and since this is a commandline only install, I didn't think it'd matter a bit swapping the video card out for one with a working fan :) | 00:11 |
| Edler | scialex: will i have to manually copy compiled stuff to folders ? | 00:11 |
| wylde | Ogredude: heh yep, it's the way the newer systems load. Everyone wants it to be pretty and the regular text mode doesn't give nice high res :) | 00:12 |
| scialex | edler: what you need to do is 1) find the most recent version of php as a tar-ball (it's probably on their website). 2) install any dependencies (apt-get build-deps php should probably work but read the INSTALL and README files) 3) build and install it. (This is probably just ./configure; make; make install; but read the INSTALL and README files, they might use a different system). | 00:13 |
| monotoko_ | scialex, he doesn't even need to do that... there are plenty of repos out there which contain php 5.4 | 00:13 |
| Ogredude | wylde: well, I'm still of the opinion that linux belongs in the rack, not on the desktop, so I have no use for splashy splash screens and crap :) | 00:13 |

| prstyo | hello | 00:14 |
| helpme | how I can set SFTP on proftpd with virtual users auth? | 00:14 |
| scialex | monotoko_: he said bleeding edge; thats source compile (at least for me) | 00:14 |
| Monotoko | scialex, ahh... he said he was just after 5.3.3 and above earlier | 00:15 |
| Ogredude | wylde: anyway, adding nomodeset to the grub args solved the problem nicely, thanks so much | 00:15 |
| Monotoko | sorry, I missed a bit.. my internet died :) | 00:15 |
| wylde | Ogredude: glad to help :) | 00:15 |
| prstyo | can speak bahasa? | 00:15 |
| rhizmoe | is there a (common) way to save a list of installed packages for ease of reinstall on a fresh box? | 00:15 |
| Ogredude | *sigh* | 00:16 |
| wylde | rhizmoe: I believe 'dpkg -l >> installed-packagaes.txt' would do the job. | 00:16 |
| wylde | *packages | 00:16 |
| Ogredude | now I have to teach my IT n00b the difference between the 192.168.1.x and 192.168.0.x subnets. | 00:17 |
| === ryan__ is now known as rjman | ||
| Monotoko | Ogredude, sounds like fun... you should hire someone who knows what they are doing ;) | 00:18 |
| Ogredude | nah it's more fun to train n00bs | 00:18 |
| Ogredude | that way you can mold them however you want | 00:19 |
| urbancommando | plus cheaper | 00:19 |
| Monotoko | Ogredude, ahhh true... better than my line of work, my boss has put in charge of a team of indians 4000 miles away ._. | 00:19 |
| Ogredude | Earlier today, I had to teach him why it is a Bad Idea to connect the two Catalyst switches by plugging them both into the CenturyLink Xytel modem, instead of just making a crossover cable | 00:19 |
| scialex | edler: those instructions above should install php to /usr/local/. this should probably be fine for most things as /usr/local/bin is in your path. If, for some reason, you really need it where the normal php is then run ./configure --prefix=/usr;make; make install; | 00:20 |
| Ogredude | and then I had to teach him why it was *completely unnecessary* to have a dedicated line to the IT desk for each management port on each switch | 00:20 |
| gadien | monotoko, it seems they are wrong and startup manager is the one to use, it's just not being maintained. and grub customiser isn't available in ubuntu software centre | 00:20 |
| urbancommando | you guys dont buy the crossover cables? | 00:20 |
| scialex | elder: oh i forgot to mention the 'make install' command must be run as root with sudo. :) | 00:21 |
| Ogredude | nah, we don't need them often enough, when we do it's easy enough to clip the end off a patch cable, rearrange wires, and replace the end. | 00:21 |
| Monotoko | gadien, so startup manager works? | 00:21 |
| urbancommando | been trying to get gms3 on my ubuntu... failed | 00:21 |
| Ogredude | and actually making patch cables is a pretty damn good excersise for n00bs | 00:21 |
| gadien | monotoko i have no idea yet, we'll see | 00:21 |
| test | hi, How do I install wine? it says in the ubuntu software center that it isn't available for this type of computer. weird. | 00:21 |
| Monotoko | gadien, I'd just edit /etc/default/grub ;) | 00:22 |
| urbancommando | its fun when you start making them.. lol | 00:22 |
| urbancommando | for the few couple times | 00:22 |
| Fyodorovna | Monotoko, startup manager will not default kernel updates do not use it. | 00:22 |
| gadien | monotoko I didn't know where to look for the file | 00:22 |
| gadien | till now | 00:23 |
| Monotoko | Fyodorovna, even just to set Windows as his default boot? | 00:23 |
| === z_ is now known as larcc | ||
| test | sorry, 'wine 1.2' is not available for this type of computer. wth? | 00:23 |
| urbancommando | Ogredude do you get to work remote or are you onsite ? | 00:23 |
| Fyodorovna | Monotoko, if ubuntu gets a kernel upgrade the manager will not follow it. | 00:24 |
| gadien | can someone plz tell me the shortcut to fill in someones name here | 00:25 |
| tbruff13 | can someone help me how can i test to see if my audio jack earphone works in kubuntu 11.10 | 00:25 |
| Monotoko | gadien, it depends on the client you use | 00:26 |
| gadien | chatzilla | 00:26 |
| Monotoko | usually you just type the first few characters and press shift | 00:26 |
| Monotoko | *tab | 00:26 |
| test | can I get some help please, it's saying that wine isn't available for this type of computer. Is there a work around? | 00:27 |
| gadien | Monotoko: thanks, that worked that time.. i did it before but i obviously wasn't doing it right | 00:27 |
| urbancommando | thruff13 give this a try. This is for ubuntu but..im sure it the same. In terminal type alsamixer, toggle to the headphones and type m | 00:27 |
| test | it's saying that on my other pc as well. | 00:27 |
| Monotoko | right, I'm gonna go AFK for a bit... see you all later :) | 00:27 |
| urbancommando | that will enable the headphone jack autosense | 00:28 |
| larcc | test: what is your computer? | 00:28 |
| Ogredude | urbancommando: onsite | 00:29 |
| phil_fl | test: are you sure you are selecting the right architecture like clicking on a i386 instead of x86_64 | 00:29 |
| Ogredude | we're reworking the server room to fit our new renderfarm | 00:30 |
| urbancommando | might need cheese installed first lol jking. | 00:30 |
| test | there are only 2 to select from and both says the same thing. | 00:30 |
| === Guest12256 is now known as dmogle | ||
| urbancommando | ouch are you guys pulling an all nighter ? | 00:31 |
| test | I'm running ubuntu on Dell studio laptop | 00:31 |
| Ogredude | nah, I'm almost done | 00:31 |
| Ogredude | got to bring up the FreeNAS, which is being a bitch, and then done for the day | 00:31 |
| phil_fl | test: Might be difficult without seeing the arch and the selection one way to do it would be to install it with: sudo apt-get install wine | 00:31 |
| born2troll | guys in which package is the opengl library for developement (like compileing wine) ? | 00:31 |
| Ogredude | we've got 2 rendernodes in place, we'll image the rest of them over the next couple days and slot them in as they're complete | 00:31 |
| tbruff13 | urbancommando, i did what you asked how do i test it | 00:31 |
| Ogredude | this rework went really easy | 00:32 |
| urbancommando | thruff13, I assume the only way to test it is to put a headphone in the jack ? | 00:32 |
| test | ok phil_fl, I'll try it that way, thank you. | 00:32 |
| Ogredude | one of our neighbors is a concrete contractor, I moved his 2 non-networked desktop PCs to his new office for him, and he anchored our rack to the floor for us | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | born2troll: Why do you want to compile wine from source? | 00:32 |
| urbancommando | nice | 00:33 |
| phil_fl | test: I believe the incompatibility is due to the wrong architecture installing a x86 on i386 vice versa | 00:33 |
| urbancommando | ours are anchored to the floor and ceiling | 00:33 |
| Ogredude | when we pulled cable in here, we didn't have a labeller, so today we mapped and labelled all the wall jacks | 00:34 |
| urbancommando | lol | 00:34 |
| Ogredude | moved the patch panel to the top of the rack, the switch under it, and popped a second switch under that | 00:34 |
| Ogredude | we decided to go Stargate on the naming scheme... One switch is "Milky Way", the other is "Pegasus"... and the crossover cable has been labeled "Midway" | 00:34 |
| urbancommando | dont tell me you took advantage of the noob for the labeling job? | 00:35 |
| test | looks like it's going to work through the terminal, nice! | 00:35 |
| Ogredude | yeah I had him run the toner while I loafed by the rack and poked at it with the probe | 00:36 |
| gadien | Ok, another Q: I installed gnome desktop in charge of unity (because i think it's BS) but what i want to know | 00:36 |
| gadien | is how do I change the side that the close/minimise/maximise buttons are on? | 00:36 |
| Ogredude | I taught him how to get Cisco management console through any available wall port :) | 00:36 |
| test | I need a good work at home income, any ideals? | 00:36 |
| dmogle | gadien: Choose a theme that has the buttons on the side you want | 00:36 |
| urbancommando | gadien or you can use gnome-tweaks | 00:37 |
| gadien | dmogle: thanks | 00:37 |
| phil_fl | test: cool brace yourself I think wine is requiring something like 150 packages | 00:37 |
| bibic682 | hello.. any tricks to speeding up flash player in firefox.....10.10... athlon64 socket 754...ati radeon 9800 pro.... 2g ddr | 00:38 |

| philip__ | bibic682, do you have many addons installed? | 00:40 |
| Ogredude | alright folks, it looks like the ubuntu box is ready to go, thanks for the help wylde, and the FreeNAS has pulled its head out of its a** | 00:40 |
| scialex | bibic682: More RAM (and ddr3) would probably help | 00:40 |
| Ogredude | it's bong-thirty now. | 00:41 |
| Ogredude | see ya folks | 00:41 |
| phil_fl | bibic682, you could try to change browser.sessionstore.interval | 00:41 |
| urbancommando | bye | 00:42 |
| phil_fl | bibic682, check what it is now | 00:42 |
| bibic682 | philip_ flashblock...user agent firefox mod | 00:42 |
| bibic682 | how do I check | 00:43 |
| phil_fl | bibic682, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.interval default is 10000 mine works fine at 50000 | 00:43 |
| scialex | bibic682: forget what I said, thought that it was a 64 bit processor. go with Phil_fl | 00:44 |
| phil_fl | bibic682, type about:config in the url | 00:44 |
| bibic682 | ok | 00:45 |
| haux | Can anybody tell me where Awn stores its configuration files? I know there is a /home/user/.config/awn directory, but it doesn't contain any configs. | 00:46 |
| phil_fl | bibic682, then search for browser.sessionstore.interval | 00:46 |
| phil_fl | bibic682, I mean browser.sessionstore.interval | 00:47 |
| phil_fl | bibic682, and up the value ( a little bit) and then restart your browser | 00:48 |
| bibic682 | set 15000 | 00:48 |
| moes | Which Java for firefox-11.0 | 00:48 |
| philip__ | bibic682, i think phil_fl got you covered. just bare in mind at least based upon my experience, mozilla runs fast on first start with out anything upon it. And fglrx slows it down also if, you're using ati gpu. | 00:48 |
| FernandoCueva | who can help me increase size and performance with my laptop | 00:49 |
| phil_fl | bibic682, you can safely put 25000 | 00:50 |
| tkeith | I apt-get installed python-django-doc, which automatically installed libpython2.6, python2.6, and python2.6-minimal. I then apt-get removed python-django-doc, and then ran apt-get autoremove. This removed libpython2.6, but not python2.6 or python2.6-minimal. Why aren't these other dependencies autoremoved? | 00:50 |
| phil_fl | bibic682, restart your browser to take effect and it might be a bit faster try and let us know | 00:50 |
| bibic682 | i will try that...thanks.....most youtube vids run fine even 720hd....but some are slow | 00:51 |
| gadien | where can i get theme's for gnome (11.10) one that puts the close box and stuff on the right side | 00:51 |
| danny | any way to turn hdmi output to input with ubuntu i would like to use my computer screen to play my 360 | 00:52 |
| test | ok I need help with wine, I have package configuration screen in the terminal and I can't click the <ok> or anything, so what do I do? | 00:52 |
| phil_fl | bibic682, that's the nature of the best :-) | 00:52 |
| haux | Can anybody tell me where Awn stores its configuration files? I know there is a /home/user/.config/awn directory, but it doesn't contain any configs. | 00:52 |
| scialex | haux: awn stores its config information in GConf (at least on 10.04, it might be in DConf in newwer versions) try installing and running gconf-editor to get a good gui tool to edit the config. You'll find it under Apps. (I think that DConf-editor is the dconf version of gconf-editor but i am not sure and anyway they might still be using GConf so start with that) | 00:52 |
| haux | scialex, excellent. I will try that. Thank you | 00:52 |
| gadien | i've looked through the display properties, but those themes just change the colour | 00:52 |
| scialex | haux: beware messing around in there though. it is easy to really screw stuff up. | 00:53 |
| Dogears | How do I execute vboxdrv setup? | 00:54 |
| philip__ | bibic682, i use mplayer, umplayer as a front, to watch youtube. I found it to be the best recipe for me, simply because firefox uses too much resources. | 00:54 |
| urbancommando | great secret top spy satellite launched today... | 00:54 |
| haux | scialex, is there a way to backup all of the configuration files? | 00:55 |
| haux | scialex, so I don't have to remake the panel after a reinstall | 00:55 |
| bibic682 | philip_ I recently discovered minitube for ubuntu and it plays youtube vids without flash at all and I can play hd vids smooth | 00:56 |
| philip__ | bibic682, that's exactly my point. | 00:57 |
| scialex | haux: all the backend stuff is stored in the ~/.gconf folders form the path. you could try copying those. Be warned however gconf does not like it if you modify its files without going through it... | 00:57 |
| bibic682 | philip_ my same system in windows uses 65% resources rendering flash....ubuntu 80-90% | 00:59 |
| Vert | Is there a simple way to temporarily turn off the touchpad? | 01:00 |

| bastidrazor | angs: those in #ubuntu-server might have a few answers. | 01:07 |
| === enroxorz is now known as CottonHill | ||
| neo31 | angs I think you can configure a firewall (iptables) to block all unneeded ports. use some parameters to harden your system. you can also use an IDS/IPS such as snort or suricata. futher webserver improvements can be made (I guess you are using apache) | 01:07 |
| TrD | use an application layer firewall angs | 01:08 |
| angs | yes I installed apache http server | 01:09 |
| scialex | angs: I would also suggest you install and use fail2ban. its an intrusion detection system. | 01:09 |
| angs | do you recommend any program to block unneeded ports and performs as application layer firewall? | 01:09 |
| wylde | !ufw | angs | 01:10 |
| ubottu | angs: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 01:10 |

| Dogears | Hi! Can anyone advise how I execute '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root | 01:11 |
| TrD | angs: Leopard is like Zonealarm on Win | 01:12 |
| craigbass1976 | Dogears, sudo? If that doesn't work, and someone yell if I'm wrong, I've found it easier to just give root a password sometimes to get something done like this | 01:12 |

| Jordan_U | angs: Correct. | 01:13 |
| wylde | craigbass1976: setting root password is not advised or supported here. | 01:13 |
| bastidrazor | craigbass1976: 'sudo -i' will give you a root prompt. much safer than setting a root password. | 01:13 |
| craigbass1976 | wylde, I figured. | 01:13 |
| angs | thanks a lot | 01:14 |
| craigbass1976 | bastidrazor, I can't believe I never knew that... | 01:14 |
| TrD | it's not beta version Jordan_U | 01:14 |
| Dogears | craigbass1976: Sudo is OK but I can't seem to be able to run "vboxdrv setup" | 01:14 |
| wylde | !root | 01:14 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 01:14 |
| craigbass1976 | Dogears, did you catch that? sudo -i | 01:14 |
| TrD | and second i'ts the unique app-layer firewall for Ubuntu | 01:14 |

| philip__ | if i'm not mistaken, root password is disabled by default i ubuntu. so if someone needs to grant more sufficient power than sudo, needs to use sudo -i? like craigbass1976 suggested. | 01:18 |
| wylde | philip__: correct | 01:18 |
| urbancommando | Dogears Np | 01:19 |
| craigbass1976 | philip__, wasn't my idea. bastidrazor just taught me. Now I'm hunting around for somethign to try it our with that I used to think required actually being root | 01:19 |
| philip__ | wylde, thank you. :P | 01:19 |
| craigbass1976 | Dogears, so, you should be able to sudo -i , type a pass, then be at a root prompt. | 01:20 |
| harsh343 | hello | 01:20 |
| philip__ | craigbass1976, we all learning by someone else. the use of that knowledge is what matters, i think. | 01:20 |
| wylde | craigbass1976: yep, and either use 'exit' to get back to your user, or 'ctrl+D' | 01:21 |
| Dogears | I don't think anyone know how invaluable this channel is. You guys make life much less stressful. Thanks for being here. | 01:21 |
| philip__ | Oh yes exit! otherwise it could led to a crash, at least that happens on debian. | 01:22 |
| craigbass1976 | wylde, I've been using ubuntu since dapper and never knew this... | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | never knew about sudo -i ? | 01:23 |
| philip__ | Dogears, those who chose to be here should know, :) | 01:23 |
| thestormsedge | hello all | 01:24 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_willis, no, never, I'm ashamed | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | heh- its mentioned in here about once a day at least. | 01:24 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_willis, I came off fedora, so I was used to being root. It must always get mentioned after I leave. | 01:24 |
| wylde | craigbass1976: half the time if I have a question I can grep the logs I keep from here and get sorted out lol. ;) | 01:25 |
| thestormsedge | this is my first time on the #ubuntu IRC channel, I've never really figured out how to connect to it before :P | 01:25 |

| devton | So I'd like to give Ubuntu a spin on my computer. Is there any reason I shouldn't be looking at the 12.xx version which currently is in beta? | 01:27 |
| thestormsedge | I would suggest 12.04 since there is support for 5 years devton | 01:28 |
| bastidrazor | devton: 12.04 beta is for those wishing to test it and submit bugs.. its should be considered buggy. | 01:28 |
| thestormsedge | it's usually the most stable because it is an LTS distribution | 01:28 |
| thestormsedge | well... when it's not in beta :P | 01:29 |

| urbancommando | O_o test? | 03:16 |
| Aethor | fails in the same way in the last fedora, opensuse, arch, debian | 03:16 |
| test | aethor, I'm using 10.10 I hate the new version they have out. | 03:16 |
| Aethor | well, I thought about installing 10.4 and waiting another year... but I came here on an off chance that someone knows a solution | 03:17 |
| philip__ | test: according to wine, and others, there is no need to do that. otherwise, you'll have to compile wine for your system. but the benefits of it, wouldn't be that much. | 03:17 |
| Aethor | cause even with the latest driver this NIC wont work in these versions of linux, and in ubuntu 10.04 it works like a charm | 03:18 |
| test | well it is very slow, that's why I was asking. I mean the linux itself to open like firefox and other apps | 03:19 |
| Aethor | test: if you have more than 4 Gb (such as, an 8 GB box, or 12 gb etc) you need a 64-bit OS | 03:20 |

| epvi | urbancommando: would i be able to install and setup completely from an ssh connection? | 03:24 |
| Aethor | philip: you asked on which version of ubuntu do I wish to run it - do you know of a way how to get it to work? | 03:25 |
| philip__ | Aethor: I'm still looking if i can help. | 03:27 |
| Sharkfin | The issue I'm having is hard to describe, trying to install ubuntu 11.10 on my netbook, I need a bit of guidance to get the partition to work right | 03:27 |
| urbancommando | epvi not sure sry | 03:27 |
| philip__ | test: makes sense. | 03:27 |
| epvi | thanks urbancommando | 03:27 |
| Aethor | sharkfin: normally you need 1 partition for linux and 1 for swap (though that one isn't absolutely necessary) and then if you also want windows, one partition for that | 03:28 |
| Sharkfin | Aethor: Not the issue. I really need to talk with someone. I'm a total beginner with this stuff. | 03:29 |
| midc111 | Hello | 03:29 |
| nds | I can see eth0 on ifconfig, and setted IP. however, the internet doesnt work. what should I do? | 03:29 |
| test | philip_ you didn't hook me up wth some type of linux virus did ya? | 03:29 |
| Aethor | nds: first thing now is to ping your router, see if you can reach it | 03:30 |
| Agent_bob | nds check dns settings too | 03:30 |
| nds | it ping | 03:30 |
| test | nds, i had that same problem with xubuntu, but ubuntu works fine, I'm having other problems with it though lol | 03:30 |
| Aethor | sharkfin: I'm not really an install/partition guru, but if you want, open a chat with me, if I can answer, I will... though I'm at best intermediate | 03:31 |
| philip__ | Aethor: Since its working on 10.10 your best bet would be to reopen te ticket on launchpad. | 03:31 |
| nds | I used to have arrows on the top bar next to the mail icon | 03:31 |
| Agent_bob | nds also the "route" command can tell you if the default gateway is setup correctly and if not adjust it. | 03:31 |
| philip__ | Aethor: guys there are fast. | 03:31 |
| Aethor | philip: there's a bunch of tickets already open against r8168 and/or r8169 | 03:31 |
| philip__ | test: i beleive not. | 03:32 |
| nds | when I click on "network connections" on wired connection, it is noted "never" for the last used | 03:32 |
| nds | rout is set correctly | 03:32 |
| Aethor | nds: so can you or can't you ping your router? if you can, then the problem is probably dns | 03:32 |
| philip__ | Aethor: model specified. i can't think of something else really. | 03:33 |
| Aethor | philip: ok, thanks for trying :) | 03:33 |
| nds | yes I can ping the router, but after the arrows icon disappeared, I have had this problem. | 03:34 |
| nds | is it possible that my /etc/network/interfaces setting wrong? | 03:34 |

| midc111 | nds If there's anyway you can get to your router's http interface if it has one and if it has one of those ping diagnostics, you can try pinging ubuntu.com or google.com from there and see if it's a problem with ubuntu at all | 03:36 |
| midc111 | although my bet's on your dns settings | 03:36 |
| midc111 | just my 2 cents | 03:36 |

| syddraf | Is there some utility to enable/disable my touchpad? Based on my research, it is currently unsupported on Ubuntu, so it freaks out and moves the mouse cursor around if I hover over it while typing. | 03:39 |

| delinquentme | what is zookeeper for ubuntu? | 03:41 |
| Aethor | nds: if you can ping the router but not an outside ip it usually means that it does not know that your router is the router, that is, that it should send packets falling outside your netmask to the router | 03:41 |

| nds | I dont have the arrow signs on the top toolbar, next to the date | 03:45 |

| === Guest23275 is now known as dmogle | ||
| i7c | dcht00: it's a matter of the sever opening that port. only the server can decide if it listenes to localhost, another address or all addresses. from which process is the port? | 03:53 |
| dcht00 | ufw gives "6600 ALLOW Anywhere" ...........but netstat -apn gives "tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6600 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN" ............. | 03:53 |

| i7c | dcht00: as i said, it's not a matter of the firewall. you have to change in the mpd.conf so that mpd listens to all addresses | 03:54 |
| jrib | brainproxy: probably pgrep | 03:54 |
| dcht00 | i7c : that's a great tip, didn't realise that.. having a look | 03:54 |
| i7c | dcht00: it's that setting in the conf: "bind_to_address"localhost"" | 03:55 |

| sattar | If all the panels on the Gnome v2 desktop disappeared, how can at least one be created/restored so that they can be right clicked on to add more and widgets and stuff? I cannot figure out how to add a panel other than backing up all the files created by starting gnome for the first time and letting them be recreated and restoring the backup little by little or simply creating a new user. I'm using Gnome v2. | 04:35 |
| xangua | !nounity | sattar | 04:36 |
| ubottu | sattar: 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 | 04:36 |
| xangua | sattar: ooh you are using gnome2 sorry didn't read the last part, just reset the panel | 04:36 |
| sattar | xangua: That doesn't help me at all. | 04:37 |
| xangua | !panels | sattar | 04:37 |
| ubottu | sattar: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 04:37 |
| sattar | mm | 04:37 |
| sattar | ah nice, thanks! | 04:37 |

| syddraf | Is there some utility to enable/disable my touchpad? Based on my research, it is currently unsupported on Ubuntu, so it freaks out and moves the mouse cursor around if I hover over it while typing. | 04:47 |
| xangua | syddraf: use your function keys to enable/disable touchpad | 04:48 |
| xangua | sysdoc_: here on lucid/gnome2 is an option to disable touchpad while writting, don't know in gnome3 but did you check your mouse settings | 04:49 |
| syddraf | xangua: I'm using Xubuntu, but the hardware drivers don't recognize my touchpad as a touchpad, it thinks that it is a standard mouse. | 04:50 |
| sweetprince | As sattar I had just asked how to reset gnome v2 panels and someone suggested `gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel` However that didn't work and even I noticed that gnome-panel was not running even. And from terminal I execed `gnome-panel` and they appeared. However, logging out from desktop environment and logging back in and the panels were not preserved or saved, or gnome-panel did not auto | 04:50 |

| xangua | ooh fallback mode kah_ ¿¿ i believe you need to press shift or alt while draging something from the panel | 04:56 |
| kah_ | xangua: it's the launder icon | 04:56 |
| kah_ | xangua: haha, apparently the directory doesn't exist | 04:57 |
| urbancommando | kah_ open terminal and type "rm -rf /Desktop/filename" | 04:58 |
| kah_ | urbancommando: did that, nothing happened.. if your suggesting that I should input the file name where it says filename... well there really is no file name | 04:59 |
| kah_ | the directory does't exist.. it's a launcher icon | 04:59 |
| syddraf | urbancommando: Thank you, but touchpad-indicator does nothing but keep enabling the touchpad. | 04:59 |
| urbancommando | syddraf even if you disable it? | 05:00 |
| syddraf | urbancommando: There is no disable button that I have found. | 05:00 |
| urbancommando | syddraf when you install touchpad-indicator it there should be a setting so you can disable the touch pad. | 05:01 |
| urbancommando | weird | 05:02 |
| syddraf | urbancommando: When I click the indicator icon, all it has is "Enable". I think there is a more fundamental problem, since Xubuntu's mouse properties think that it is a "PS/2 Standard Mouse" | 05:02 |
| urbancommando | syddraf have you tried this work arround http://pastebin.com/i9CLa6Hm | 05:09 |

| dfcnvt | Hi, if I downloaded a 3rd party software and compile/make them in the very same directory. The new software don't tend to end up in /bin or /usr/bin... even in 'Application'(GUI)... I wonder how do I make the access to 3rd party software more easier than manually access to the active program. | 07:31 |
| dfcnvt | ryzzan: Do the following, "apt-cache search printer parallel port" (without quote) | 07:33 |
| Jordan_U | dfcnvt: You should generally avoid compiling software from source. What are you actually trying to install? | 07:33 |
| dfcnvt | Altera (Electronic Design for schematic/simulation/testing purpose) | 07:34 |

| jixxar | hi all | 07:41 |

| jixxar | lsusb doesnt list it | 07:42 |
| dfcnvt | jixxar: try luvcview | 07:42 |
| helge_ | dfcnvt: nope, it's installed and I find no grep.1.gz in /usr/share/man (like I do on other machines that I'm checking) | 07:43 |
| tanath | way, could also try httpseverywhere, or tor | 07:43 |
| jixxar | it works | 07:43 |
| jixxar | dfcnvt, how to get it work with skype? | 07:43 |
| dfcnvt | helge_: Hm, I've tested on my computer (this is by default, nothing is added or removed) on my regular Ubuntu system... 'man grep 1' did show up. | 07:44 |
| foo357 | Hello | 07:45 |
| dfcnvt | jixxar: If luvcview did work and showed up... then you should know the address to your camera... Assuming it is /dev/video0 ...Then you add that information on your Skype | 07:45 |
| foo357 | I've got a computer running ubuntu 64 bit, I want to install a particular package that only comes for the 32 bit arch | 07:45 |
| way | <tanath>still i oudn't find it? | 07:45 |
| helge_ | dfcnvt: yeah, I know. It worked before. (grep is just one example, I'm missing loads of other ones too, like ls) | 07:46 |
| helge_ | not sure why the went missing, or why they don't get reinstalled with apt-get install manpages | 07:46 |
| dfcnvt | helge_: If you're talking about Help Content... then that's a different story, I do encounter that problem.. But if only directly on the terminal with a man command for manual then I'm not sure what is it you're looking for specifically. | 07:47 |
| jixxar | dfcnvt, skype tells me that it cant find any webcam | 07:47 |
| foo357 | this 32 bit package needs for example libstdc++6... so I suppose I need to have parallel installations | 07:48 |
| dfcnvt | jixxar: Did you add the information? (assume it is /dev/video0) | 07:48 |
| jixxar | dfcnvt, yeah got it :D | 07:48 |

| skurcey | Cn anyone help me? i installed Steam on Wine and my friend list is somewhere outside my screen | 07:58 |
| sacarlson | iqrama: other solution is get a new cam that will probly work with v4l2 | 07:58 |

| Rabenklaue | I ran "apt-get update" but "apt-cache search qt5" does not give any results (except libmgl-qt5 - which is not relevant for me). | 08:24 |

| sacarlson | Jordan_U: I think some people can't read long sentences? | 08:39 |
| dfcnvt | iqrama_: Did it show your face? | 08:39 |
| dillon58078 | i used nero to burn it | 08:39 |
| mrintegr1ty | dfcnvt: yeah thats my thought too. need to know how it works though | 08:40 |
| ryzzan | anyone? | 08:40 |
| ryzzan | :( | 08:40 |
| whoaski | hey ryzzan I could be way off but is the hardware irq's setup correctly | 08:40 |
| skurcey | I'm trying to package ATI driver, is there a way to do this with interface? | 08:40 |
| dfcnvt | iqrama_: If it work and it showed your face... Then I guess a restart would resolve back to /dev/video0 than /dev/video1 | 08:41 |
| ryzzan | whoaski, gonna check... ty... but i think it is, since it works from time to time | 08:41 |
| sacarlson | dillon58078: I think it's your cd media at fault, have it integrity checked (the tools to do so are included on the cd) | 08:42 |
| dfcnvt | mrintegr1ty: I mean, 00trustcdrom seems not very important and it's just a cdrom... whereas 99synaptic is kind of very important due to its use for apt... | 08:42 |
| whoaski | the time to time makes me wonder if it doesn't like to be shared. I have no idea if that is it but it is something I would check. like I said I could be way off | 08:43 |
| anthropos | does anyone know how to either change which keyring google chrome uses, or change which keyring gnome tried to unlock automatically at login? | 08:43 |
| mrintegr1ty | dfcnvt: yeah, not sure about that though as it is dependant on the systems usage.. the root filesystem might run from a cdrom in some cases | 08:43 |
| TommoDMC | How do I figure out what VNC server I've got installed, and start the service, over the terminal/SSH? I rebooted the server in my lounge room (which doesn't have a keyboard/mouse/monitor) and I don't have it set to auto-login so I need to putty in and start VNC manually so I can tinker around, but I can't figure out how.. | 08:43 |
| arcsky | hello, how can i delete all with X ? | 08:43 |
| arcsky | i just want shell | 08:44 |
| pratz | hey guys can i get the stream url from this site http://www.live365.com/index.live ? | 08:44 |
| iqrama_ | dfcnvt: still not happening | 08:45 |
| Jordan_U | arcsky: Please rephrase your question. I don't understand it. | 08:45 |
| schnuffle1 | arcsky: sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg | 08:45 |
| dfcnvt | iqrama_: After you run "luvcview -d /dev/video1" ... Did it show your face? | 08:45 |
| dfcnvt | iqrama_: Why don't you run "ls /dev/video*" to see if you do have it there. | 08:46 |
| iqrama_ | no it did't | 08:46 |
| arcsky | schnuffle1: and gnome? | 08:47 |
| dfcnvt | iqrama_: Nothing on /dev/video* ? | 08:47 |
| TommoDMC | How do I start vnc server through the terminal? | 08:48 |
| iqrama_ | i just ran, and the result is /dev/video0 | 08:48 |
| schnuffle1 | arcsky: sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop | 08:48 |
| anthropos | TommoDMC, i would use x11vnc if i were you | 08:48 |
| dfcnvt | iqrama_: Ah, you do have it there.. So, how about try "luvcview -d video0" then smile for the result. | 08:48 |
| iqrama_ | ok lemme try | 08:49 |
| Snake__ | tnet.org | 08:49 |
| iqrama_ | luvcview -d video0 | 08:49 |
| TommoDMC | anthropos, you mean just install x11vnc over whatever I'd installed already? I have 11.10 desktop and whatever GUI comes with it natively, so I'd have expected it to be 'vncserver'... except I can't find that in /etc/ | 08:49 |
| dfcnvt | iqrama_: correct, not here on the irc.. on the terminal. :p | 08:50 |
| sacarlson | TommoDMC: this is what I used vino-server and was able to start remotely over ssh http://askubuntu.com/questions/4474/enable-remote-vnc-from-the-commandline | 08:50 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| sacarlson | TommoDMC: and you should also try that x11vnc, I used it also with some success | 08:51 |
| iqrama_ | my bad, still nothing, it giving an error "opening v4l interface: no such file or directory | 08:51 |
| whoaski | so hey guys ubuntu, ruby on rails, apache2,my sql thats a good blend for a web server? a secure one? | 08:52 |
| mrintegr1ty | dfcnvt: it does seem to be just the order of precedence as we suspected | 08:52 |
| mrintegr1ty | dfcnvt: asked in ubuntu-server also | 08:52 |
| sacarlson | iqrama_: is it we can't fine this file /usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ? | 08:53 |
| sacarlson | iqrama_: oh maybe your running 64bit? | 08:53 |
| iqrama_ | im running 32bti | 08:53 |
| schnuffle1 | whoaski: its a setup that is often used but has nothing to do with being secure or not. That depends on the apps you use and your specific configuration | 08:53 |
| TommoDMC | sacarlson, /usr/lib/vino/vino-server exists but i cant run it, just putting 'sudo /usr/lib/vino/vino-server' returns: "Cannot open display: Run 'vino-server --help' ...blahblah", which doesn't appear to have a man page | 08:53 |
| sacarlson | iqrama_: ok and is that file visible? | 08:53 |
| sacarlson | TommoDMC: I wonder if x11 is running at all? | 08:54 |
| whoaski | yes but don properly it's as good as the next guy right? | 08:54 |
| whoaski | done^ | 08:54 |
| sacarlson | TommoDMC: oh and to run that I guess you would have to setup autologin before it would work with vino-server | 08:55 |
| schnuffle1 | whoaski: yes but you will find people telling you that nginx or lighty is the way to go so I only can say: It's a setup that has proved to work | 08:55 |
| === kpow is now known as Guest83400 | ||
| dfcnvt | sacarlson: I have my camera working properly and there isn't libv4l directory in /usr/lib32 directory. So, if he said he don't have it then it's not the actual source of problem. | 08:56 |
| schnuffle1 | whoaski: for security, check selinux, mod:_security, mod_thorottle, fail2ban, ...... | 08:56 |
| iqrama_ | i cant c the the file in explorer | 08:56 |
| dfcnvt | iqrama_: Can you give me the model of your camera? | 08:57 |
| whoaski | I have read about nginx I thought that was kinda like an add-on so to speak, does nginx replace apache2? | 08:57 |
| sacarlson | iqrama_: dfcnvt: I see in this other note it used a different path "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype" | 08:58 |
| sacarlson | iqrama_: I'm running ubuntu 10.04 and I see that file present | 08:58 |
| whoaski | it's all new to me kind of a project of mine | 08:59 |
| mrintegr1ty | iqrama_: I use skype with /dev/video0 specified in the preferences, have you tried manually setting it in skype? it doesn't always detect it automatically | 08:59 |
| iqrama_ | it labtec 2200 | 08:59 |
| TommoDMC | sacarlson, how do I find out if I have x11 installed? when I type in 'x11' and hit tab (in putty), I get the options: x11perf, x11perfcomp | 08:59 |
| dfcnvt | iqrama_: Thanks, I'll google it and learn a bit mroe | 08:59 |

| kpow_ | arcsky, works now? | 09:08 |
| dfcnvt | iqrama_: For your camera... It would need spca5xx driver... So, this website should be the best to help solve your problem. Good luck. | 09:08 |
| sacarlson | dfcnvt: can iqrama_ run cheese to see if his cam works at all? apt-get install cheese ; if not already installed | 09:08 |
| schnuffle1 | nickie: No, To sort out why it is not working: Check the config, call a page with SSI and see what happens in the logs | 09:08 |
| kpow_ | arcsky, there's a stale lock file, rm it that's all | 09:08 |
| kzr22 | if i try to join a channel and nothing happens does it not exist? | 09:09 |
| nickie | <!--#INCLUDE file="./sidebar.html"--> is actually coming through in the document to the browser. | 09:09 |
| rumpe1 | kzr22, if the channel doesn't exist, it will get created dynamically and you will be the only (?) user in it. That's the usual behaviour on irc servers. | 09:09 |
| Xabster | kzr22, did you remember the # infront of the channel name? | 09:10 |

| kpow_ | dillon58078, sure ur not reading on i386 ubuntu? amd64 should have no issues | 09:11 |
| schnuffle1 | nickie: So what is not working if the sidebar include works? | 09:11 |
| arcsky | kpow_: i can kill the dpkg process | 09:11 |
| nickie | no, it doesn't work. | 09:11 |
| kpow_ | arcsky, kill the dpkg, then remove manually the lock (sudo rm ...) | 09:11 |

| sacarlson | dfcnvt: looks like he did also try luvcview ? I know nothing about that app | 09:12 |
| nickie | no.. I want the text of sidebar.html to be sub'd in for the <!--#includesdlkjfsald code. | 09:13 |
| nickie | the contexts of sb.html should replace that line. | 09:13 |

| TommoDMC | sacarlson, I don't think that's it, I installed it, tried to run it, it said it had no X11 installed... so I must be using gnome or some other GUI in ubuntu. (It's just the base...). Yet when I try the command from the VNC server wiki on ubuntu for 11.10, 'gsettings reset org.gnome.Vino network-interface', it chucks an error too | 09:22 |

| meerkats | do I need packages to automount external HDD? | 09:46 |
| myhero | ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: gvfs does that | 09:46 |
| johnjohn | ActionParsnip: its called AndroIRC its for android. | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | johnjohn: just curious, I use andchat here | 09:46 |
| wrenny | I'm using that too | 09:46 |
| meerkats | odd: I have that package installed ActionParsnip | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: then you are good to go | 09:46 |
| myhero | @bazhang ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: when you last unplugged the device did you safely eject it or just pull it out? | 09:47 |
| meerkats | ActionParsnip, no, because, even having that installed, external HDD dont mount, I cannot access it | 09:47 |
| johnjohn | ActionParsnip: Nice im gooing to go 5 star it. Flawless. | 09:47 |
| bazhang | myhero, make sure when you are in the installer that you only use lower case for username and pass | 09:47 |
| meerkats | pull out, but that has never meant any problem ActionParsnip | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: thats why then | 09:47 |

| ActionParsnip | meerkats: the safe remove feature is there for a reaon | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | *reason | 09:48 |
| bazhang | johnjohn, ubuntu support issue? | 09:48 |
| meerkats | ActionParsnip, why now? | 09:48 |
| sacarlson | I can't seem to change preferences in cheese now in ubuntu 11.10 it's grayed out, I also tried sudo cheese with same problem. any work arounds or maybe a ppa needed? | 09:48 |
| johnjohn | Yeah but im waiting my turn | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: if you don't safe remove, especially with FAT and NTFS, you will get issues in Linux | 09:48 |
| bazhang | johnjohn, no turns here just ask | 09:48 |
| meerkats | ActionParsnip, this is an ext4 | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: the partition is marked as dirty, not unmounted clean | 09:48 |
| mi3 | hello! | 09:48 |
| myhero | so what to do with p/w | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: I'd fsck the partition then, linux partitions not been unmounted gracefully isn't good either | 09:49 |
| bazhang | myhero, in the installer all lowercase for username and pw | 09:49 |
| myhero | ok but its asking for p/w now so what to do in current situation | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: I suggest you manually mount it after an fsck, then safely unmount it and then eject the drive | 09:49 |
| myhero | in installer it will b afterwards | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: it wil be 'clean' then and gvfs will work] | 09:50 |
| bazhang | myhero, its live, you want to install, there is no pw | 09:50 |
| johnjohn | Ok well i have a dual partitiond hd running the latest bt 5 and ubuntu. My wirless internet worked for about 1 week. Now wirless will not connect, but wired connections do. On wirless it will connect to the network but recieve no internet. | 09:50 |
| myhero | no i will install afterwards.....currently i m running live | 09:50 |
| bazhang | johnjohn, whats bt have to do with it | 09:50 |
| bazhang | myhero, so choose install | 09:50 |
| johnjohn | Just noting that both distros have a similar problem | 09:51 |
| meerkats | sudo mount dev/sdb1 ActionParsnip ? | 09:51 |
| myhero | but its locked n i hve some files in it....if it cant b opend then i will hvae e to n all files will b lost | 09:51 |
| bazhang | myhero, how can you have files on a live usb | 09:52 |
| myhero | e* hve to boot n all files will b lost | 09:52 |
| myhero | means in current session | 09:52 |
| bazhang | myhero, then copy them somewhere. | 09:52 |
| myhero | its locked so how to open n copy | 09:52 |
| myhero | unless n until its opened nothing can b copied | 09:52 |
| bazhang | myhero, that makes no sense, how did it get locked | 09:52 |
| myhero | i dont know | 09:53 |
| myhero | i left it for some time n it got locked automatically | 09:53 |
| bazhang | myhero, what files will be lost | 09:53 |
| johnjohn | The usb? Does it have a lock switch like some sd cards? | 09:53 |
| myhero | i downloaded some files imp ones | 09:53 |
| Zenger | Question | 09:53 |
| meerkats | ActionParsnip, I can ls -l the HDD in terminal, is this concurrent with the gvfs idea you told me? | 09:53 |
| myhero | my office files | 09:53 |
| Zenger | I'm in a live cd , I need to edit /etc/modules. | 09:54 |
| bazhang | myhero, are you talking about the screensaver lock? | 09:54 |
| myhero | i dont know | 09:54 |
| Zenger | The fs won't leave me. How could I edit that file ? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: you need to mount it first | 09:54 |
| myhero | its showing Other... username with a box to enter p/w | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: sudo mkdir /media/usb; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | meerkats: assuming sdb1 is the partition... | 09:55 |
| meerkats | ActionParsnip, /dev/sdb1 | 09:55 |
| johnjohn | Any reason why my ubuntu startup always says checking for network configuration? | 09:56 |
| myhero | tell plz | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Zenger: do you mean the modules file on the liveCD itself or are you using the liveCD to edit the modules file in an installed OS? | 09:56 |
| myhero | its very sad that there is no solution coming | 09:56 |
| myhero | m leaving | 09:57 |
| myhero | bye all | 09:57 |
| johnjohn | Bye | 09:57 |
| Zenger | ActionParsnip: installed os | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | myhero: if nobody knows, nobody can reply. Can they? | 09:57 |
| derebel | i'm trying to recover some compact flash cards, some of them have a functional file system others show as unpartitioned, i know i can use ddrescue then foremost for jpegs but most of the files are nef (nikon proprietary format) is there a tool that can recover arbitrary files | 09:57 |
| myhero | but what 2 do...with the issues | 09:57 |
| myhero | they need solutions... | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Zenger: then use nautilus and you can mount the internal partition. and you can edit the file there | 09:57 |
| johnjohn | Google it, post a forum | 09:57 |
| myhero | :( | 09:57 |
| Zenger | ActionParsnip: no I cant the privacy policy doesn't let me :( | 09:58 |
| bazhang | myhero, why would you save files to a live usb system without back ups in the first place | 09:58 |
| Zenger | g2g , B in 15 mins , answer and I will read later. thank you | 09:58 |

| ActionParsnip | myhero: if you use CTRL+ALT+F1 you can login there and may help | 09:59 |
| myhero | yea i know n thats the problem | 09:59 |

| bazhang | hellknight, there is no batch | 11:00 |
| As | Hi i'am asking about root filesystem : who creats those directories initrd ?? | 11:00 |

| bazhang | hellknight, jstebbins | 11:01 |
| Xabster | don't lie to him, hellknight, we all know it's a leprechaun in your chassis | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | As: the installer makes them | 11:01 |
| bazhang | Xabster, ? | 11:01 |
| Xabster | sup | 11:02 |
| As | ActionParsnip, what you mean by installer ? | 11:02 |
| bazhang | Xabster, thats not helpful | 11:02 |
| schnuffle1 | As: initrd is the initial boot disk and its created by mkinitrd which is triggered by several programms | 11:02 |
| Xabster | oh come on | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | As: the ubuntu installer makes the files on your file system | 11:02 |
| bazhang | Xabster, thisis support only. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 11:02 |
| hellknight | ActionParsnip, it says that mencoder mp4 can't be read by mobile devices.. that's what I want to do with those AVI files | 11:02 |

| hellknight | ActionParsnip, thanks | 11:03 |
| Xabster | bazhang, your 3 last sentences broke the same rule | 11:04 |
| schnuffle1 | As: What do you mean with kernel job? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | As: the ubuntu installer, when you installed the OS made the initrd files and so forth | 11:04 |
| hellknight | As, actually, it is created by the installer.. Aptitude in Ubuntu.. | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hellknight: aptitude isn't default installed i ubuntu | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hellknight: so how can it create something when it doesn't exist? | 11:04 |

| ActionParsnip | As: what is the job of the kernel? | 11:05 |
| hellknight | Actionparsnip, then what application/script does the installation? Anaconda installer does the job in Fedora | 11:05 |
| LjL | Xabster: unfortunately when people cause noise in the channel they have to be warned. but if you prefer, i guess you can be kicked without a warning next time :P | 11:05 |
| bazhang | hellknight, ubiquity | 11:06 |
| bazhang | hellknight, thats for the livecd, debian-installer is the alternate cd | 11:06 |
| As | kernel=vmlinuz | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | As: you lost me now | 11:07 |
| Matisse | hi | 11:07 |
| hellknight | bazhang, thanks | 11:08 |
| hellknight | I'm new to Ubuntu been using Fedora & Arch Linux since 4-5 years | 11:08 |
| Matisse | At the moment I can only boot from harddisk using install cd. So the MBR must be broken. But Grub is allright. The ubuntuwiki suggests to install grub... this confuses me. Does this install keep all the entries? | 11:09 |
| kklimonda | hmm, anyone got idea how to keep system language at en_US but change the default language for new users to some other? | 11:09 |
| brewmanz | anyone know how to get ubuntu 11.10 to recongise new monitor? switch from CRT to LCD & no new sizes recognised | 11:10 |
| As | i mean that the installer is one of the tasks of the kernel ? | 11:10 |
| ahhughes_ | hey, I just installed xbmc and its complaining about opengl being unsupported... looks like I don't have the nvidia (GT540m) graphics drivers installed / running. But this is some doco for my laptop, what is the optimus card switching ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Asus_N53#nVidia_Optimus_video_card_switching | 11:10 |
| hellknight | Handbrake is fast on Linux than on Windows.. nice.. | 11:10 |
| hellknight | As, no it is not a task of the kernel.. it is a task of a specific application like Anaconda or Ubiquity.. | 11:11 |
| As | ok i understand | 11:11 |
| hellknight | ahhughes_, it is a technology that can switch between the onboard graphics card & a dedicated one. | 11:11 |
| fidel | ahhughes_: its the option to use a 3d powered nv card vs a low-spec intel one | 11:11 |
| hellknight | ahhughes_, like when you're playing a game then it uses dedicated card like GT540m & when you're surfing then it uses the onboard one | 11:12 |
| ahhughes_ | fidel, hellknight well I obviously want the dedicated gt540 | 11:12 |
| fidel | the nv card will need way more energy - affects battery | 11:12 |
| ahhughes_ | no probs | 11:12 |
| hellknight | ahhughes_, the onboard card of your laptop can decode HD video.. & I don't think that Optimus is supported in Linux right now | 11:12 |
| fidel | so personaly i disabled the dedicated in my laptop and ended up with a pretty awesome battery usage | 11:12 |
| ahhughes_ | well, something has to give xbmc OpenGL supprt... | 11:13 |
| OerHeks | yes it is, check bumblebee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee & the #Bumblebee irc channel on freenode | 11:13 |
| hellknight | ahhughes_, what error are you getting excatly? | 11:13 |
| hariom | I am on ubuntu 10.04 and I am trying to install php5, but In my system, when I type: whereis php . I don't get the location of php interpreter. I have tried reinstalling php5 and php5-common | 11:14 |
| ikonia | hariom: php5 is the apache module, php5-cli is the command line interperpreter | 11:14 |

| hariom | ikonia: So in order to run a php script without apache httpd, should I install only php5-cli? | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | OerHeks: doesn't ironhide supercede that? | 11:16 |
| schnuffle1 | hariom: yes | 11:16 |
| ahhughes_ | error is "XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering. Install an appropriate graphics driver." | 11:16 |
| hariom | ikonia: I see people writing #!/usr/bin/php where does this php in bin comes? | 11:16 |
| ahhughes_ | hellknight, ^^ | 11:16 |
| OerHeks | ActionParsnip, i am not sure, optimus is still using double xorg | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | OerHeks: yeah, its a real mess imho | 11:18 |
| hellknight | ahhuges_, hmm.. so your onboard card isn't supported by XBMC.. Have you installed the official NVIDIA drivers? | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ahhughes_: what nvidia chip do you use? | 11:19 |
| ahhughes_ | ActionParsnip, NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM source http://www.asus.com.au/Notebooks/Multimedia_Entertainment/N53SV/#specifications | 11:20 |
| schnuffle1 | hariom: /usr/bin/php comes from the package php-cli | 11:20 |
| ahhughes_ | hellknight, No, I have not installed official drivers | 11:20 |
| hellknight | ahhuges_, that is a very powerful graphics card.. | 11:20 |
| hariom | schnuffle1: yea, I got it. Thanks | 11:21 |
| schnuffle1 | hariom: apt-file can help to find a package that contains the file | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ahhughes_: run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ahhughes_: gives the 295 driver | 11:22 |
| ahhughes_ | whats the 295 driver if you dont mind me asking? | 11:22 |
| fidel | ahhughes_: version of the nv driver | 11:23 |
| fidel | most likely | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ahhughes_: latest one from nvidia.... | 11:23 |
| ahhughes_ | kewl, I'll take one of those | 11:24 |
| fidel | the normal 11.10 repos should offer version 280 - which is pretty old | 11:24 |
| === irdxafk is now known as irdx | ||
| ahhughes_ | fidel, I dont get any "additional drivers" listed for my hardware.... hrmmmm see if ActionParsnip's advice fixes my lack of opengl support / driver :) | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | fidel: its fine for some chips, depends what you have | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !info nvidia-current | 11:29 |

| DMJC | does ubuntu specifically rely on kernel components to run? | 11:44 |
| Zenger | schnuffle1: well they are only ubuntu boxes, but there might be some windows users. | 11:45 |
| schnuffle1 | Zenger: But they are still right that if you want your users to be able to create shares, better use Samba | 11:45 |
| DMJC | eg if I run a modern ubuntu install, is it possible to downgrade to an older kernel? | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | somebody__: ask in #bash too | 11:45 |
| somebody__ | kpow, that would only replace sed with perl no? | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | DMJC: if you can find the debs, sure. How well it will work when you boot it isa different thing altogether | 11:45 |
| somebody__ | ActionParsnip, i'll do that, thanks | 11:45 |

| DMJC | I've got a kernel 3.2 system with LSI Megaraid issues. next to it is a centos install that works fine, the kernels are basically the main difference | 11:46 |

| DMJC | I'm just trying to get an opinion/feel for whether it would be likely to work or would kill libc or something else | 11:47 |
| bekks | DMJC: Why exactly do you want to downgrade the kernel? | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | DMJC: please ask in #ubuntu+1 ntil release day | 11:47 |
| DMJC | bekks: because the current kernel/driver combination is causing my raid controller to drop off the system under heavy load | 11:48 |
| schnuffle1 | DMJC: it should be possible | 11:48 |

| Sheperson | io, yes | 12:29 |
| schnuffle | Rienzilla: So you have a setup your phone -> PBX -> other phone ( in the same network)? | 12:29 |
| Sheperson | sometimes, I get an error saying it can not find the servers | 12:29 |
| schnuffle | myhero: mostly they contain the source code which you have to build, which is a advanced task | 12:30 |
| ahhughez | ActionParsnip, looks like this is a known/common problem. | 12:30 |
| io | Sheperson: did you check that you're using the closest mirrors located to where you are? | 12:30 |
| myhero | @io means if i hve ppa or use software center then these .tar.** files will render useless | 12:30 |
| Rienzilla | schnuffle: yes | 12:30 |
| myhero | kk | 12:30 |
| Sheperson | io, yes | 12:30 |

| myhero | @schnuffle if u can guide then i will build it | 12:30 |
| schnuffle | Rienzilla: have you checked the logs of your PBX and eventually the logs of empathy? | 12:30 |
| io | myhero: yes, .tar.* files are usually for installing software from source. if you're using apt-get etc. then you don't need them | 12:30 |
| io | myhero: what are you attempting to install? | 12:31 |
| Sheperson | I have been using the same mirror before without any problems | 12:31 |
| Rienzilla | schnuffle: the pbx seems to do fine (it receives the call, and starts playing a message) | 12:31 |
| myhero | any soft without using internet offline | 12:31 |
| Rienzilla | I don't know how empathy works, so I didn't check any logs | 12:31 |
| Sheperson | but now (after a fresh install of 11.10) it's too slow | 12:31 |
| myhero | currently vlc | 12:31 |
| neurotech | Does anyone know if there's a way to change line-height in Konversation? | 12:31 |
| schnuffle | Rienzilla: have you checked with another softphone? I left empathy beside as I don't like it and had some problems as well | 12:32 |
| io | myhero: you're using a livecd so you don't want to install software everytime it starts, right? | 12:32 |
| Rienzilla | no I haven't | 12:32 |
| myhero | yes | 12:32 |
| myhero | right | 12:32 |
| myhero | so as to save bandwidth | 12:32 |

| Sheperson | any help? | 12:33 |
| schnuffle | myhero: then download the vlc .deb package | 12:33 |
| io | myhero: that's not really the point of a livecd. if you're using it constantly then you might want to consider installing ubuntu within a virtual machine so that the files are not lost | 12:33 |

| Rienzilla | schnuffle: what would be a decent voip phone? | 12:35 |
| schnuffle | myhero: It has the ntfs-3g driver so it has write support | 12:36 |
| akappa | fidel, thanks, I'll ask that question over there :) | 12:36 |
| fidel | gl | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Rienzilla: how is that ubuntu support related? | 12:36 |
| myhero | i dont know but last time i tried n it said no permission | 12:36 |
| Sheperson | Rienzilla, how about Linphone? | 12:36 |
| Rienzilla | ActionParsnip: because I was just advised by the ubuntu support channel to not use the ubuntu default voip application | 12:36 |
| simonsays1980 | io: Thanks, but when I add it via this command and type then "sudo apt-get update" I cannot find it in the list given by "sudo apt-cache search "g\+\+" ... | 12:36 |

| k013 | dear ubuntu people please help - my question is here - http://pastebin.com/J4NKHwvg | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | cypher-neo: thats the app, not the config | 12:44 |
| Rienzilla | empathy just gives no sound | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | cypher-neo: the config is in ~/.config | 12:44 |
| cypher-neo | ActionParsnip, Oh... okay. looking | 12:44 |
| akappa | k013, do you expect from us to open a link instead of just read your question here? | 12:44 |
| Rienzilla | just installed linphone which works rightaway apparently | 12:44 |
| k013 | akappa - sorry very long question | 12:44 |
| schnuffle | Rienzilla: So my hint ( advice ) in the end was correct :) | 12:44 |
| schnuffle | Rienzilla: I think empathy is a peace of crap, but that's jst my opinion | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | k013: what GPU do you use? | 12:45 |
| Rienzilla | well, probably :) | 12:45 |
| cypher-neo | Okay... that almost worked | 12:45 |
| k013 | actionparsnip - its a hp dv6 i5 laptop | 12:45 |
| myhero | ubuntu has windows write permission but i meant knoppix doesn't has windows write permission | 12:46 |
| schnuffle | Rienzilla: It could be due to having a mixture of pulse audio and alsa | 12:46 |
| myhero | n what does /msg ubottu checkinstall means - i received this msg in begining but that time i missed it | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | k013: did you try Unity2D session? | 12:46 |
| cypher-neo | ActionParsnip, Almost worked. I renamed the folder in config, and I started chromium afterwards. It started up as if it were a new install of Chromium, and asked me to enter my Google account address to sign in and sync. Once I did though... boom, it crashed. "Segmentation fault" | 12:47 |
| zykotick9 | !checkinstall | myhero here you go ;) | 12:47 |
| ubottu | myhero here you go ;): checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 12:47 |
| schnuffle | myhero: It has but it mounts ro per default | 12:47 |
| cypher-neo | ActionParsnip, Should I just try reinstalling it again? | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | cypher-neo: sounds like a plugin is causing the issue | 12:47 |
| zykotick9 | myhero: teh "/msg ubottu checkinstall" would have just given it to you privatly | 12:47 |
| cypher-neo | ActionParsnip, I don't have any plugins that weren't misbehaving before this update. | 12:47 |
| k013 | actionparsnip - no its not stopping flickering i can't don anything, i have press the on/off button to switch off the laptop , that's the only thing i can do | 12:47 |

| myhero_ | how to copy all terminal output to pastie ? i tried copying but its not copyying with ctrl+c | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | k013: did you reboot ok? | 13:11 |
| akappa | myhero_, just use the middleclick | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | myhero_: use right click -> copy | 13:11 |
| k013 | reboot done but flicker no sto | 13:11 |
| k013 | i mean stop | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | myhero_: or CTRL+SHIFT+C | 13:12 |
| myhero_ | k | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | k013: does it flicker on the login screen too? | 13:12 |
| k013 | yes yes absolutely, can't see and click anything! | 13:12 |
| somebody__ | jrib, same problem. it displays the entire content of the file (as if using cat or sed -n) | 13:12 |
| jrib | somebody__: right. If you want to actually write to a file, you use -i. But note your syntax in find seems wrong. I'm not sure why you have a '*' | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | k013: does it flicker in CTRL+ALT+F1 too? | 13:13 |
| k013 | yes yes absolutely, in ctrl+alt+f1 too! | 13:13 |
| === will is now known as Guest63472 | ||
| somebody__ | jrib, i'll try -i . the * in the end was for writing to all files..that isn't how it's done, is it? | 13:14 |
| jrib | somebody__: you're already asking find to go through each file matching the parameters you gave and execute a command on the file found. Try putting an "echo find" instead of "find" in your command and you should get a clearer picture of what's going on | 13:15 |
| jrib | somebody__: also, don't use -i until you're sure the sed command is doing what you want :) | 13:15 |
| somebody__ | jrib, the find commad works fine. used it before for find and replace with sed. can't get append after line number with sed to work now.. | 13:16 |
| somebody__ | oh and i'm working with a copy of my actual files of course :) | 13:16 |
| jrib | somebody__: yes, you find the right things but don't execute the correct command to do what you want; thus my suggestion | 13:16 |
| kripz | how can i rebind my mouse buttons to make it for example, type the letter h when left clicked? | 13:17 |
| proxnum | im trying to reinstall bind in 10.0.4 and after i install it from source it apepars all of the links are broken. does that mean i need to specify directories where bind should install ? | 13:17 |
| somebody__ | jrib, yes. i'm trying now on one file only but for sed -i "" '1 a\?test'\ test.tex i'm getting error message "sed: -i may not be used with stdin | 13:18 |
| somebody__ | " | 13:18 |
| jrib | kripz: you can use xbindkeys (with « xvkbd -xsendevent -text DESCRIPTION_OF_KEY_HERE » as the command) | 13:18 |
| thomedy | isnt the 12.04 lts almost ready | 13:18 |
| thomedy | i am eager to use the new one but i need lts with out a doubt | 13:18 |
| jrib | somebody__: why are you passing "" (seems useless) and why are you escaping the space before "test.tex"? | 13:18 |
| k013 | thomedy - april 26 | 13:19 |
| somebody__ | jrib RL is forcing me afk. i'll be back in an hour and gna keep trying then | 13:19 |
| somebody__ | jrib i'll correct htat real quick | 13:19 |
| jrib | somebody__: RL? | 13:19 |
| jrib | somebody__: never mind. | 13:19 |
| somebody__ | real life | 13:19 |
| jrib | i thought RL was forcing you to put the "" and escape the space :) | 13:19 |

| kexanie | sorry , err ,what is "kernel " ? does it means an older version of my system ? | 14:13 |
| kexanie | "3.0.0-18-generic" thx . . | 14:13 |
| kexanie | I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 | 14:14 |
| banermatt | for example an algo which do what I need: decompress one file f, total_size += du f | 14:14 |
| compdoc | on the mailing list, thee are ppl saying 3.0.0-18 is causing problems | 14:14 |
| schnuffle | kexanie: -18 has the problem, restart with left shift and then chosse an older kernel from the list and recheck chrome | 14:14 |
| compdoc | there | 14:14 |
| banermatt | Is it possible so I don't know if it is implemented | 14:14 |
| banermatt | It is possible* | 14:14 |
| kexanie | okay ,I will try it now. | 14:15 |
| kexanie | just wait a minute | 14:15 |

| andrunix | is there a way to get sudo to recognize aliaes defined in my .bash_aliases? | 14:16 |
| schnuffle | andrunix: how about to put the in /root/.bashaliases? | 14:17 |
| andrunix | schnuffle: i could do that i guess. does that make them "global" or just for root? | 14:18 |
| denysonique | [1] 7277 segmentation fault chromium-browser -- Ubuntu 11.10 | 14:18 |
| schnuffle | andrunix: just root | 14:18 |
| denysonique | How can I fix this? | 14:18 |
| schnuffle | denysonique: start with an older kernel than 3.0.0-18 | 14:19 |
| denysonique | why? is there a bug? | 14:19 |
| andrunix | schnuffle: is there a way to make aliases global? so I only have to define them onece | 14:19 |
| andrunix | once | 14:19 |
| schnuffle | denysonique: apparently | 14:19 |
| compdoc | denysonique, seems so | 14:20 |
| denysonique | Where is the bug reported btw? | 14:20 |
| compdoc | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/972821 | 14:20 |

| compdoc | thats one | 14:20 |
| scialex | andrunix: you could edit /ect/bash.bashrc and add them there if you want them to be global | 14:20 |
| schnuffle | andrunix: you can place it in /etc/skel so that every new user gets it. Or place it in /etc/profile | 14:20 |
| andrunix | good suggestions guys. thanks. | 14:21 |
| denysonique | thanks guys | 14:21 |
| denysonique | is not using the proposed software source much safer than using it? | 14:21 |
| denysonique | in terms of having a flowless system | 14:21 |
| schnuffle | scialex: is there a /etc/bash.rc? | 14:21 |
| airlynx | just about got it done now, but had a panic attack cuz someone else drank all the coffee, but using GParted does the same thing as mkdosfs on the HDD, I can see that it's setting the partition type to FAT32 (I'm a GUI addict, sorry, but thanks for the point in the right direction, kubblai) | 14:21 |
| denysonique | flawless* | 14:22 |
| Defusal | hi everyone | 14:22 |
| schnuffle | denysonique: the bug was reported in here for 3 times already | 14:22 |
| kexanie | schnuffle,I am back | 14:23 |
| compdoc | yikes | 14:23 |
| schnuffle | kexanie: and does it work now? | 14:23 |
| kexanie | I try it on gnome3,and gnome classic . | 14:23 |
| scialex | schnuffle: yes, it is /etc/bash.bashrc | 14:23 |
| kexanie | but it just doesn't work | 14:23 |
| schnuffle | scialex: cool didn't know that | 14:23 |
| kexanie | on gnome classic it works for a few seconds, but closed then | 14:24 |
| schnuffle | kexanie: which kernel are you running now? uname -r | 14:24 |
| opalepatrick | any ideas ^^ | 14:24 |
| kexanie | 3.0.0-18-generic | 14:24 |
| Defusal | i had a live session running off a usb drive, i then used "sudo fuser -cuk /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock" as per a suggestion on askubuntu.com and now everything has ended and my live sessions green has a static console cursor in the top left corner of the screen. does anyone know how i can get my gui back without rebooting? | 14:24 |
| scialex | schnuffle: you might want to edit /etc/profile though if you want it to work on more then just bash | 14:24 |
| Defusal | s/green/screen | 14:24 |
| schnuffle | kexanie: so you rebooted to the same kernel, of course the problem still is present. Can't choose something lower then 3.0.0-18 maybe 3.0.0-17? | 14:25 |
| Defusal | dammit, im so angry with myself now, i should have just left apt broken and still had a working machine :( | 14:25 |
| kexanie | oh ,but how to reboot to a different kernel ? | 14:25 |
| Defusal | if anyone has any idea, please let me know | 14:25 |
| schnuffle | scialex: hat was my suggestion as I didn't know that there's a global bash.rc in ubuntu | 14:26 |
| CharminTheMoose | I'm running ubuntu 11.04 in a vm and set my login to be busybox's static-sh. When in the static-sh, if I do something disasterous like, remove /lib and /usr/lib, none of the 'built-in' commands in the static-sh work anymore. Why's this happening? | 14:26 |
| denysonique | kexanie: If it is not present at the bootloader then you may downgrade by disabling the poposed software source | 14:26 |
| schnuffle | kexanie: you boot holding down the shift key and then you should get a list to choose from | 14:26 |
| kexanie | it's kinda strange because it works well a few hours ago | 14:26 |
| schnuffle | kexanie: the update just cam out | 14:27 |
| denysonique | btw | 14:27 |
| denysonique | can't the update be reverted? | 14:27 |
| denysonique | the proposed software source fixed? | 14:27 |
| denysonique | to not yet include the newest kernel? | 14:27 |
| schnuffle | CharminTheMoose: I just guess but even busbox will need libc? | 14:27 |
| denysonique | s/newest/linux 3.0.18 | 14:28 |
| schnuffle | denysonique: if downgrade soves the problem you can set another kernel as defaultg | 14:28 |
| denysonique | ok | 14:28 |
| denysonique | but, why the devs won't fix this in the repo? | 14:29 |
| denysonique | if it crashes 100% users chromium? | 14:29 |
| CharminTheMoose | schnuffle, but the busybox executable is not dynamically linked, according to ldd. :/ | 14:29 |
| kexanie | schnuffle: I will try | 14:29 |
| airlynx | okay, so for future reference the Disk Utility in Ubuntu will reformat a filesystem without reformatting the partition itself | 14:29 |
| schnuffle | CharminTheMoose: And arent't the kernel modules under /lib as well? | 14:30 |
| CharminTheMoose | schnuffle, yep, they are. I'm just testing 'worst case' scenarios here. :P | 14:30 |
| schnuffle | denysonique: because the bug jsut appeared | 14:33 |
| kexanie | well .. It workds | 14:36 |
| kexanie | thanks ..but why doesn't it works on -18 ? | 14:36 |
| schnuffle | kexanie: Fine, so 2 things you can do, change the default kernel to the one working or do boot manual as you did as long as there's no bug | 14:37 |
| schnuffle | kexanie: Becasue there seems to be a bug | 14:37 |

| kexanie | but how to change the kernel ? I want it to start -17 when the system start ? | 14:38 |
| compdoc | kexanie, Im sure they'll get it all fixed soon | 14:38 |

| casualX | alp The variable proxyAddress, defines the IP address on which Polipo will listen; by default, its value is the loopback address "127.0.0.1", meaning that Polipo will listen on the IPv4 loopback interface (the local host) only. By setting this variable to a global IP address or to one of the special values "::" or "0.0.0.0", it is possible to allow Polipo to serve remote clients. This is likely to be a security hole unless you set allowed | 15:09 |

| mib_mib | hi guys, i'm trying to set up openssh on ubuntu 10.04- i installed openssh via apt-get, then edited the sshd_config file just appending 'AllowUsers myusername' to the end of the file, and restarted it doing sudo restart ssh. When i ssh using myusername@ipaddress, it asks for password 3 times, then it asks me for myusername@ipaddress password, but the password isnt working (i.e. permission denied) | 16:08 |
| alp | iknia - it says unable to locate package lxproxy | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | alp: lxproxy isn't a package, let me search | 16:08 |
| alp | ok ActionParnship thanks | 16:08 |

| dre1220 | Has anyone worked with RANCID to pull HP/Nexus configs? | 16:08 |

| ActionParsnip | alp: http://lubuntublog.blogspot.co.uk/p/tools.html | 16:10 |
| ikonia | mib_mib: ok, so look in the security log and see why it won't let you in | 16:10 |
| ikonia | it sounds like the password is just wrong though | 16:10 |
| zykotick9 | mib_mib: are you using @ipaddress in sshd_config or when you try to login? | 16:10 |
| mib_mib | ikonia: its just not accepting my password - but its wierd that it just asks for 'password:" three times first, then "username@ipaddress password:" | 16:10 |
| mib_mib | zykotick9: ssh username@ipaddress is what i am typing | 16:11 |

| sirknight | whats tje differnce | 16:11 |
| mib_mib | ikonia: where is ssh log? | 16:11 |
| ikonia | mib_mib: so you have an ssh key in your /home/$username/.ssh directory on the local machine ? | 16:12 |
| ikonia | mib_mib: /var/log/ | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | sirknight: the client is what the systems use to connect TO the server, the server runs on a system you want to give access to the files | 16:12 |
| sirknight | i want the compter im on now to be the server. | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | sirknight: ok so you want an FTP server. | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | sirknight: why does it need a GUI? | 16:12 |
| sirknight | becasue i dont know how to use anything else , and im new to this ftp stuff and web things | 16:13 |
| rhin0 | need foolproof way of settin gup ssh keys xubunt > xubuntu because for some reason with ssh-copy-id and any other method it keeps asking for passphrase (within the bash window ) every time | 16:14 |
| rhin0 | I just don't get it | 16:14 |
| mib_mib | ikonia: just syslog? or what is the log named | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sirknight: best way to learn is to do it without gui dude, you'll learn then | 16:14 |
| rhin0 | I think it's different iwth ubunutu > xubuntu | 16:14 |
| ikonia | mib_mib: it's normally called "secure" but I don't have an ubuntu box to confirm | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sirknight: you can use: sudo apt-get install gadmin-proftpd | 16:14 |
| ikonia | rhin0: ssh-copy-id does not care about your desktop | 16:14 |
| rhin0 | yes but I copy it and it keeps asking for my passphrase within the bash window | 16:15 |
| ikonia | rhin0: what do you expect it to do ? | 16:15 |
| rhin0 | with ubuntu it brought up a gui window for passphrase ONCE | 16:15 |
| rhin0 | only once | 16:15 |
| rhin0 | thats the idea -- get rid of password | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | sirknight: I suggest you try without GUI so that it runs as a service as it should. You will also be able to transfer ability if/when you work on a headless server with no graphical desktop | 16:15 |
| rhin0 | so you don't havfe to type in password on ssh-ing into somehting | 16:15 |
| ikonia | rhin0: you need to have both the public and private keys in the .ssh directory on the local machine for that to work | 16:15 |
| rhin0 | on the client machine? | 16:15 |
| ikonia | rhin0: that's ssh-ask-pass that's prompting you and then putting the key into gnome-key-ring manager | 16:15 |

| mib_mib | ikonia: nothing showed up in /var/log/auth.log when i ssh'd. I did ssh -v and the reason it said password 3 times is becuase it was trying my other id_dsa and id_rsa keys that i use for ssshing into seperate boxes | 16:20 |
| ikonia | mib_mib: which is why I asked if you had anything in .ssh | 16:20 |

| ikonia | rhin0: research key-managers for xfce, see if there is one | 16:23 |
| rhin0 | ok thanks ikonia | 16:23 |
| ikonia | rhin0: you could look at installing the gnome libraries and gnome-keyring manager | 16:24 |
| ikonia | rhin0: that's quite an overkill solution | 16:24 |
| mib_mib | ikonia: its not a wrong password thou, for sure... | 16:24 |
| ikonia | mib_mib: I believe you | 16:24 |
| ikonia | mib_mib: for a test - just move your other keys out of .ssh for a test | 16:24 |

| v0lksman | ElGoorf: are you sure it's ~/.ssh/config? | 16:59 |

| ElGoorf | yup | 16:59 |

| v0lksman | ElGoorf: perms? | 16:59 |
| ElGoorf | ah good point | 17:00 |
| zykotick9 | v0lksman: is this "entension pack" something installed inside vbox? I certainly don't see any packages with a similar name/description. | 17:00 |
| v0lksman | I can't remember if it's just teh keys that need restricted perms to work or not | 17:00 |
| myhero | jello u ther | 17:00 |
| v0lksman | zykotick9: yeah it can be...I think you can download it from the link llutz_ posted | 17:00 |
| zykotick9 | v0lksman: interesting. thanks :) | 17:00 |
| llutz_ | azert: i really don't care. virtualbox has a free (gpl2) part and a non-free extension for USB-support. if you want to use vbox + usb, you need to get that extension | 17:01 |
| v0lksman | zykotick9: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads second chuck down... :) | 17:01 |
| v0lksman | chuck=chunk | 17:01 |
| myhero | exit | 17:01 |
| zykotick9 | llutz_: i guess i was mistaken, but i "thought" usb had moved from the non-free to the free part in v4.... to bad really. | 17:01 |

| d3m0nk | is beta 2 the final beta before launch? | 17:02 |
| d3m0nk | unity still sucks :/ | 17:02 |
| llutz_ | zykotick9: nope, it can't since there are 3rd party rights on the USB part which prevent it from licensing under GPL (iirc) | 17:02 |
| zlude | Hey guys! i have a external server with openvpn installed but i need to monitor if the openvpns is running. i cant use telnet because openvpn is running in udp port, some one can help me how to check this port? | 17:02 |
| DrCode | hi all | 17:03 |
| auronandace | d3m0nk: isn't it so totally awesome though that you can choose a DE? | 17:03 |
| v0lksman | any ntpd experts around? I have vbox images on two different hosts running ntpd...one of them works fine and syncs with remote servers without issue...the other doesn't...I've even copied the conf from the working to the non and it still won't sync...any ideas? | 17:03 |
| d3m0nk | auronandace, yeah but i was hoping better from ubuntu | 17:03 |
| DrCode | I have some one that want me to install apach,php,mysql server and backups, I don't know how much to charge for it , any one have exp in price list? | 17:04 |
| v0lksman | d3m0nk: what's better than choice? :) | 17:04 |
| d3m0nk | v0lksman, true... but the default DE should be the best... | 17:04 |
| d3m0nk | and right now Gnome3 is much better than Unity | 17:04 |
| v0lksman | d3m0nk: best according to who? | 17:04 |
| d3m0nk | :) | 17:04 |
| DrCode | ubuntu server ofcourse, | 17:04 |
| d3m0nk | yeah you have a point | 17:05 |

| caB00T | Is there a way to move all packages/programs from another distro onto Ubuntu "easily"? | 17:05 |
| v0lksman | personally I'm with you...Unity is uhmm...lacking...but still useful to some | 17:05 |
| Praxi | what do other people use to share images/screenshots of error messages? | 17:05 |
| d3m0nk | maybe I've been too hard to like unity :) | 17:05 |

| Praxi | ty zykotick9 | 17:06 |
| d3m0nk | v0lksman, yeah but I've got used to gnome3 in a matter of weeks since its release... | 17:06 |
| jedix | anyone have a working way to install gimp 2.8 on ubuntu 11.10? the ppa repo causes some library issues | 17:06 |
| ElGoorf | thanks v0lksman | 17:06 |
| d3m0nk | but still struggling with unity.... | 17:06 |
| v0lksman | d3m0nk: will let you know in a couple weeks when I dive in...hahaha | 17:06 |
| zykotick9 | v0lksman: i'm not sure if it applies to VBox, but running ntpd on VMs with KVM is considered a No-No. good luck. | 17:07 |
| riderplus | gnome 3 on oneiric. works fine | 17:07 |
| d3m0nk | v0lksman, I hope unity is better equipped by this release. :) | 17:07 |
| v0lksman | zykotick9: yeah I've read that in places...weird part is it works great on one guest...just not the other...and they both live on different hosts | 17:07 |
| sitoumbaz | hi every one | 17:07 |
| d3m0nk | riderplus, yeah gnome 3 seems better on even the 12.04 beta 2 :) | 17:07 |
| sitoumbaz | please is there some one who can tel me about new featues in the ubuntu precise ? | 17:08 |
| caB00T | Is there a way to move all packages/programs from another distro onto Ubuntu "easily"? | 17:08 |
| d3m0nk | specially without the 3d acceleration gnome3 seems to be the better deal. | 17:08 |
| riderplus | d3m0nk: good for you. that 12.04 beta is freaking me out ftm | 17:08 |
| zykotick9 | 12.04 Precise discussion in #ubuntu+1 guys | 17:08 |
| llutz_ | caB00T: short: no | 17:08 |
| d3m0nk | sitoumbaz, google! :) | 17:08 |
| caB00T | @llutz_: Even if it's also "Ubuntu based"? | 17:09 |
| v0lksman | caB00T: not as "hard" but still not easy per say | 17:09 |
| d3m0nk | riderplus, unity (2d) keeps crashing again and again... | 17:09 |
| d3m0nk | slows down the machine too... | 17:09 |
| zykotick9 | caB00T: mixing distros packages is crazyness | 17:09 |
| d3m0nk | :( | 17:09 |
| riderplus | d3m0nk: yeah i know | 17:09 |
| riderplus | :) | 17:09 |
| caB00T | Oh? Wasn't aware of it... | 17:09 |
| llutz_ | caB00T: how can we say? we dont know what other distros changed in packages so it might work, but it might also break your system | 17:10 |
| caB00T | Anyway, if you guys have a guide, article or a book that could help please pm me! :) | 17:10 |
| caB00T | Ye, sorry, I'm a newbie, so I ask newbie questions I guess... :p | 17:10 |
| Dr_willis | caB00T, i dident see an actual question. | 17:10 |
| Dr_willis | ;) | 17:10 |
| v0lksman | caB00T: dpkg -l will list all the packages installed on your system...you can take it from there... ;) | 17:10 |
| llutz_ | caB00T: read a guide about debian-packaging and build the stuff you need from source | 17:11 |
| Dr_willis | !clone | 17:11 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 17:11 |
| v0lksman | ^^^^ or that | 17:11 |
| zykotick9 | using the output of !clone on a foreign system doesn't seem wise to me... | 17:11 |
| llutz_ | Dr_willis: nice suggestion for people having too much time | 17:12 |
| caB00T | Thank you very much guys. :) | 17:12 |
| caB00T | @Dr_willis: Is there a way to move all packages/programs from another distro onto Ubuntu "easily"? <- that was the q. ) | 17:12 |
| Dr_willis | caB00T, set up the other box to be an apt-caching server on the network.. reduces your downloads.. | 17:13 |
| caB00T | Mhm, ok, tnx. | 17:14 |
| Dr_willis | or copy your /var/apt/cache or whatever its called over. | 17:14 |
| llutz_ | Dr_willis: transfer from a NON-Ubuntu distro... | 17:14 |
| caB00T | No, no, | 17:14 |
| llutz_ | just ubuntu based | 17:14 |
| caB00T | From Ubuntu based, Backtrack to be precise? | 17:14 |
| caB00T | To Ubuntu. | 17:14 |
| Dr_willis | apt packages are cached in that cache dir. | 17:14 |
| caB00T | Thank you, have stuff to work with now... :) | 17:15 |

| alp | How can I revert back? I don't want my bootloader to be like this | 17:19 |
| * Dr_willis wonders how gnome is related to the bootloader... | 17:19 | |
| compdoc | alp, when you click the logon, is there a choice of desktops? | 17:19 |
| alp | sure, when I click "ubuntu" something like this comes up: | 17:20 |
| alp | file edit view ... | 17:20 |
| KiLLEr | any good nes emulator | 17:20 |
| alp | not the unity | 17:20 |
| Dr_willis | KiLLEr, there used to be several in the repos. | 17:20 |
| alp | But why the bootloader changes when I apt-get gnome? | 17:20 |
| alp | wtf? | 17:21 |
| alp | Do I have to reinstall my OS? | 17:21 |
| Dr_willis | what bootloader are you refering to? | 17:21 |
| alp | the one that comes with ubuntu 11.10 | 17:21 |
| alp | now looks like the debian bootloader | 17:21 |
| FrozenMind | alp - sounds like you are in Ubuntu (old) | 17:22 |
| Dr_willis | Grub is the bootloader. not sure how it 'looks' to you. I have never seen it changed. | 17:22 |
| alp | apt-get gnome changed it | 17:22 |
| Dr_willis | changed it how exactly.. and does it work? if so.. does it really matter if it has a differnt wallpaper/background? | 17:22 |
| FrozenMind | Dr_willis, i think alp is talking about the different flavors of desktops, how you have the "Current" 11.04/10 one and the older one that doesnt ahve unity... | 17:23 |
| Dr_willis | grub2 supports a user selectable background. | 17:23 |
| alp | it doesn't matter, but what about unity? | 17:23 |
| Dr_willis | FrozenMind, thats why i was asking what he ment about the bootloader. | 17:23 |
| alp | just the background changed, it doesn't matter | 17:23 |
| Dr_willis | alp, unity is installed with the ubuntu-desktop package. i belive | 17:23 |
| Dr_willis | alp, unity is installed by default. so not sure what you are doing. | 17:23 |
| alp | Ok, everything was normal | 17:24 |
| FrozenMind | Dr_Willis, aye... :) I see that now that i actually looked at your last few posts, sorry :) | 17:24 |
| alp | and the | 17:24 |
| alp | n | 17:24 |
| alp | I did this: | 17:24 |
| OneFix_Work | Anyone know of a pre-built Gimp 2.7.x package for Ubuntu 12.04? | 17:24 |
| alp | sudo apt-get install gnome | 17:24 |
| alp | and i have this choice on logon: ubuntu, ubuntu 2d lxde gnome etc. | 17:25 |
| alp | when I choose ubuntu | 17:25 |
| compdoc | alp, you might try gnome-shell next time | 17:25 |
| cypher-neo | OneFix_Work, That question needs to go to the channel #ubuntu+1 | 17:25 |
| alp | yes, compdoc, i did a mistake. I am asking can I revert back? | 17:26 |
| alp | or have to reinstall completely? | 17:26 |
| Dr_willis | alp, most likely its some quirk with unity and your video, or other configs. | 17:26 |
| FrozenMind | alp - have you tried the other options? it might have been a different name/changed by an odd way o.O | 17:26 |
| Dr_willis | you rarely need to 'reinstall' | 17:26 |
| compdoc | alp, not sure. uninstalling is not clean with linux | 17:26 |
| Dr_willis | #1 test to do would be make a new user. see what desktops work with them. | 17:27 |
| Dr_willis | what release of ubuntu are you using? 11.10? | 17:27 |

| Kolnmenky | Hi. This is my problem: Whenever I try to use one of those flash chats (for example Tinychat) I have problems with my mic. I think reason is that when I try to click on the flash mic settings it shows "Intel 828..." which is my sound card, instead of "Linux Microphone", which is the one that used to be there. Some people I've talked to recently have told me that even though they can sort of hear me, the sound is really bad and choppy. What could be a po | 17:45 |

| pepee | alp, also, linux is not windows. you can fix almost anything by yourself without reinstalling | 17:56 |
| alp | I am tried of fixing things, that's why I switched back to ubuntu from arch linux. But the problem seems to be with me myself, I always screw things up | 17:56 |
| Nepomuk | get the beta automaticly updated, when its out ? | 17:56 |

| pepee | alp, unity? not sure what package it is | 17:59 |
| alp | i did unity | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | alp: just backup what you need to usb / network share, delete the hidden fodlers in root recovery console then reboot, you will get a vanilla settings | 18:00 |
| pepee | alp, that, or purge and reinstall | 18:00 |
| alp | ok *insert "I have no idea what I am doing" meme here* | 18:01 |
| luist_ | is there something that i can use as notify-send but i need a custom buttom to confirm and a cancel one… being able to get the result? | 18:01 |
| pepee | alp, you are reconfiguring the package :P | 18:02 |
| ikonia | alp: re-install and be more careful next time | 18:02 |
| alp | ikonia: complete OS reinstall? | 18:02 |
| ikonia | alp: yes | 18:02 |
| ikonia | alp: and if the problem is you messign it up - stop messing with it and use it | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | alp: backup what you need using the other user, hold shift at boot and select recovery mode, then select roo, then run: rm -r ~/.* It will delete ALL settings but your user docs will stand. Obviously emails and so forth will go so back those up and such as well as browser and app settings, so back them up. Then run: reboot and when you log in you will get vanilla settings | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: +1 | 18:03 |
| alp | okay, doing it right now, thank you. bye | 18:05 |

| go8765 | is anyway to clean cache in ubuntu (without swapoff and reboot) ? | 18:21 |
| arcsky | how do i do so the xorg doesnt start when i reboot? | 18:21 |
| jrib | arcsky: always or just once? | 18:22 |
| Galahad | alp good chance most is gone, but some may be recoverable still, depends on what those files are worth to you whether you want to go fishing for them, your situation is pretty severe and would likely have small if any yield | 18:22 |
| arcsky | jrib: always | 18:22 |
| jrib | !text | arcsky | 18:22 |
| ubottu | arcsky: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 18:22 |

| dalton2345 | alp the good thing about it, you wont do it twice lol | 18:23 |

| jeagle | Bash question...

| alp | And I also prevent myself from using "cut" or mv. They are not for me. | 18:25 |
| alp | will also* | 18:25 |
| jrib | jeagle: your question seems somewhat vague but #bash is more appropriate anyway | 18:25 |
| pepee | go8765, what's the cache? | 18:25 |

| heater89 | what does this command do "rm *~" ? | 18:48 |
| heater89 | i know what rm does and what * does but "*~"? | 18:48 |
| ikonia | heater89: do you have a file called [something]~ | 18:48 |
| heater89 | ikonia: not at the moment it is in the "clean" portion of a makefile | 18:49 |
| _Marcus | heater89: * is a wildcard. It counts as anything. So "rm *~" would delete anything that ends with "~" in your current directory | 18:49 |
| ikonia | heater89: shouldn't do anything of concern then | 18:49 |
| aslan | Hi I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm using 2 virtual OS( windows,Backtrack ) in Virutalbox. I just want to know the network structure of my virtual OS. I referring that is my virtual OS gets IP from the primary OS(LAN) or it will get a separate IP address.. | 18:49 |
| ikonia | aslan: depends how you configure them | 18:50 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: heater89 i seem to recall vi creating backups named filename~ (but don't recall seeing it in a while) | 18:50 |
| heater89 | ikonia: _Marcus : alright, i felt like it was ok but made me nervous with the "~" as i know that is home | 18:50 |
| ikonia | zykotick9: correct | 18:50 |
| wylde | heater then it removes any backup files created by your editing program when editing. | 18:50 |
| hypn0 | heater89, arent *~ files backups? | 18:50 |
| _Marcus | heater89: Since it's in the makefile, they probally use filenames that end with ~, so they make it easier to delete them by having the rm command delete everything that ends with ~ | 18:50 |
| heater89 | zykotick9: alright thanks | 18:50 |
| aslan | ikonia, could you explain me please. | 18:50 |
| heater89 | _Marcus: yea, just wanted to make very sure so i didn't recursively delete my home directory ;) | 18:51 |

| ikonia | aslan: ok, so you are natting out onto whatever network you've set it to nat from | 18:53 |
| kzr22 | ikonia : it says im banned...?? | 18:53 |
| heater89 | wylde: ideal vs what actually happens lol i have backups, just not a super recent one lol | 18:53 |
| jrib | lawltoad: udisks (maybe?) | 18:53 |
| ikonia | kzr22: you're using IRC as root, they don't allow it in that channel | 18:53 |
| i7c | still looking for a torrent software that supports socks5 proxies and runs as daemon. deluged does not work for me, way too buggy. | 18:54 |
| kzr22 | ikonia: so i need to log in to another account? ok | 18:54 |
| wylde | heater89: also very true </ot> (before someone throws an ! ot at us) | 18:54 |
| pepee | i7c, use proxychains ? | 18:54 |
| aslan | ikonia, NAT in the scene it is a kind of LAN which I' m getting the IP address for the primary OS to the guest OS. | 18:54 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: isn't root login default for bt? neat trick, default users can't join support channel ;) | 18:54 |
| ikonia | zykotick9: it's part of the "are you clever enough to use backtrack" test | 18:55 |
| i7c | pepee: what is that o.O | 18:55 |
| pepee | i7c, apt-cache show proxychains | 18:55 |
| ShermAntics | Hello! | 18:55 |
| aslan | ikonia, NAT in the scene it is a kind of LAN which I' m getting the IP address for the primary OS to the guest OS. | 18:56 |
| ikonia | aslan: ok ? | 18:56 |
| i7c | pepee: ahaaa. thanks for the useful hint :) | 18:56 |
| pepee | i7c, no problem | 18:56 |
| aslan | ikonia, Is that correct? | 18:56 |
| ikonia | aslan: I don't know it's YOUR config | 18:56 |
| ikonia | aslan: YOU know how YOU set it up | 18:56 |
| lawltoad | jrib, you sir, are a god! howd you know? Ive been using linux for years and ive never heven heard of it | 18:57 |
| aslan | ikonia, I just installed it, it didn't ask for network config. | 18:57 |
| jrib | lawltoad: hanging out here :) | 18:57 |
| ikonia | aslan: you have to make it | 18:57 |
| aslan | ikonia, could you help me to make it please. | 18:58 |
| lawltoad | I guess now I know too... Linux can feel so arcane soemtimes... I guess thats why I dream of switchign to arch | 18:58 |
| ikonia | lawltoad: arch is linux, so it's arcane too | 18:58 |
| lawltoad | ikonia, yea, but its mysteries are much more skindeep | 19:00 |
| ikonia | lawltoad: no, you just make things up because you don't know what you're talking about. | 19:00 |
| aslan | ikonia, could you help me to make it please. | 19:00 |
| lawltoad | ikonia, isn't that what makes it a mystery ? | 19:00 |

| pepee | funnyhaha, amd64 is the name of the architecture | 19:10 |
| pepee | amd64 is for 64 bits | 19:10 |
| funnyhaha | o so it will work if i have an intel | 19:11 |
| alp | Hey! I successfully reinstalled. | 19:11 |
| i7c | pepee: okay, in xterm it's blocked, in lxterminal (lxde) works anyways. | 19:11 |
| alp | I was using synaptiks to get my mousepad working. Do you have alternatives? | 19:12 |
| zykotick9 | funnyhaha: amd64 is for intel as well ;) | 19:12 |
| pepee | amd was the first on implement 64 bits in intel x86 arch :) | 19:12 |
| pepee | I mean, amd extended it | 19:12 |

| funnyhaha | ok do you think its i good idea to install the 64 i hear alot of bad stuff about it | 19:13 |
| alp | I was using synaptiks to get my mousepad working. Do you have alternatives? | 19:13 |
| pepee | i7c, do you get lxpanel crashes in lxde? | 19:13 |
| zykotick9 | funnyhaha: do you have more the 4GB of RAM (probably biggest factor) | 19:13 |
| pepee | lxpanel always crashes :/ too buggy | 19:14 |
| kzr22 | i7c : meant to get help command | 19:14 |
| amarcolino | I have added my user to www:data and made /www writable to users within that group, however, I would like to know how I can make it that when I create file and folders the owner and group should be www:data instead of my user? | 19:14 |

| JULinuxUser | how do you reset/ delete your nautilus config in ubuntu? | 19:14 |
| JULinuxUser | Mine is all screwed up | 19:14 |
| i7c | pepee: no, mine never crashed :O | 19:14 |
| mirko1 | funnyhaha: it depends, even if you have more than 4GB you can use a 32bit PAE kernel. 64bit speeds up mainly audio/video stuff but still has some compatibility problems. therefore i still se and advice 32bit. | 19:14 |
| zykotick9 | funnyhaha: 4GB is borderline, but i'd use 64 (32bit can be easier for somethings) | 19:14 |
| zykotick9 | mirko1: PAE is a "hack" that has some overhead involved | 19:15 |
| pepee | i7c, :( | 19:15 |
| funnyhaha | ahhh thanks | 19:15 |
| alp | Anyone using a laptop here? | 19:16 |
| Zal | amarcolino, chmod g+s should do it. | 19:16 |
| _zoom_ | hollllaaaa, how to add alias to interface using network-manager | 19:16 |
| funnyhaha | i did the PAE for the 32 i think it screws things up | 19:16 |
| _zoom_ | ? | 19:16 |
| dalton2345 | it never did to me funnyhaha | 19:16 |
| i7c | pepee: lxde works perfectly fine on my machine. how does yours crash? | 19:16 |
| Zal | amarcolino, actually, not sure about owner. Don't think you can change that part. Group, yes. | 19:17 |
| mirko1 | zykotick9: not used PAE myself, so I trust you. :-) is the overhead big enough to compensate for the compatibility problem (which still occassionaly arise)? | 19:17 |
| zykotick9 | funnyhaha: it "should" run fine - but pure 64bit is better for future use and more memory for applications | 19:17 |
| funnyhaha | the update wont work | 19:17 |
| alp | i7c, pepee, dalton2345, all: My mousepad is not working. | 19:17 |
| dalton2345 | when did you install it | 19:17 |
| pepee | i7c, it will restart by itself a couple times a day | 19:17 |
| dalton2345 | never had trouble with pae | 19:17 |
| dalton2345 | funnyhaha, you did it cause you add more ram? | 19:17 |
| alp | Do you have an alternative to "synaptiks"? | 19:18 |
| pepee | alp, sudo modprobe psmouse | 19:18 |
| zykotick9 | mirko1: the PAE overhead is <10% (so not significant, but it's always there). and applications are still limited to 32bit constraints... | 19:18 |
| funnyhaha | and there was a program that needed libbssl but it was allready install and it said it was not | 19:18 |
| alp | pepee, still not working. | 19:18 |

| dalton2345 | funnyhaha, you use pae after upgrading ur ram? | 19:19 |
| alp | join #ubuntu-tr | 19:19 |
| Zal | amarcolino, not possible. You can only set group ownership to a specific group that you belong to | 19:19 |
| funnyhaha | i dont understand | 19:20 |
| Pici | dalton2345: Please don't advertise channels here. | 19:20 |
| funnyhaha | do you mean putting more in or something else | 19:20 |
| bekks | Zal: setuid and setgid should be working on folders too. | 19:20 |
| cgardner | Hey guys, is it possible to use the existing dnsmasq to setup something like http://css.dzone.com/articles/drop-folder-directory-and-have ? | 19:20 |
| alp | seems nobody is gonna help | 19:20 |
| dalton2345 | pici i didnt advertise anything | 19:20 |
| Pici | dalton2345: whoops, mistab there. | 19:21 |
| Pici | Dilberto: Please don't advertise channels here. | 19:21 |
| funnyhaha | i just installed the PAE | 19:21 |
| Pici | dalton2345: sorry about that. | 19:21 |
| funnyhaha | i dont know | 19:21 |
| dalton2345 | pici, no problem :) | 19:21 |
| dalton2345 | funnyhaha, i have pae cause i add more ram | 19:22 |
| zykotick9 | funnyhaha: with 4GB PAE probably makes sense :) | 19:22 |
| amarcolino | zal, hmmm, there has to be a way otherwise I would have to keep doing chown foobar:foobar, which gets really tiring and annoying | 19:22 |
| dalton2345 | without pae...my 4th gb wasn't recognised...with pae it is | 19:22 |
| funnyhaha | yeah im just going to the 64 and hope it works | 19:23 |
| alp | Are you just ignoring me? | 19:23 |
| Zal | bekks, as far as I know, setuid on a directory will not cause files created to belong to another user. | 19:23 |
| dalton2345 | you dont have to funnyhaha | 19:23 |
| dalton2345 | pae will recognise your ram | 19:23 |
| funnyhaha | i am also using the 11.10 this time i have 10.04 now | 19:23 |
| dalton2345 | check it out | 19:23 |
| MangledBody | Hi Guys! Can anybody help me with Tibia client? The native one is lagging, horribly lagging, but the Windows one through Wine runs good, can anyone help me? | 19:24 |
| Zal | amarcolino, think about what a serious security problem it would be if users could create files that belong to other users. | 19:24 |
| Zal | amarcolino, there is no way to do that, as far as I know, but you can do it with group ownership, as I've noted. | 19:24 |
| funnyhaha | i know i dont have to but i had alot of problems after i installed the PAE | 19:24 |
| === xpert is now known as zmaj | ||
| alp | hello | 19:24 |
| dalton2345 | another cool feature from linux...with windows you need to pay for the 64bit version, with linux just install pae | 19:24 |
| funnyhaha | windows sucks | 19:25 |
| dalton2345 | and its free...i was so upset when i find out windows didnt recognise it | 19:25 |
| dalton2345 | i couldnt believe it!! | 19:25 |
| Zal | amarcolino, perhaps what you need is a different architecture to solve whatever your original problem is. | 19:25 |
| mirko1 | amarcolino: maybe you just want to run chgrp -R ... after creating a bunch of files? | 19:25 |
| alp | Hoho, hello | 19:26 |
| funnyhaha | do you think i can install linux form a external hdd | 19:26 |
| i7c | funnyhaha: sure | 19:26 |
| pepee | dalton2345, "install pae"? it comes supported by the ubuntu kernel | 19:26 |
| kzr22 | hi, how do i run xchat as not root in backtrack so i can access backtrack irc? | 19:26 |
| alp | Hoho fofo toto hello | 19:27 |
| pepee | kzr22, create another user, or edit chat configs to not show "root " as user | 19:27 |
| amarcolino | zal, I undertsand that but in certain situations it is necessary specially when dealing with web apps/packages just thought there would be a way to automate the process instead of manually doing it | 19:27 |
| satyanash | !PAE | 19:27 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 19:27 |
| dalton2345 | right pepee but you need to install it | 19:27 |
| auronandace | kzr22: why not go the whole hog and dump backtrack and install ubuntu | 19:27 |
| Pici | dalton2345: not in more recent releases of Ubuntu. | 19:27 |
| kzr22 | auronandace: cause i like backtrack | 19:27 |
| pepee | dalton2345, no, you need to compile the kernel with that option enabled | 19:28 |
| Zal | amarcolino, typically with web apps, a user adds files through the app, which writes them to the filesystem as the www user anyway. | 19:28 |
| mirko1 | alp: stop that, if noboby knows an answer, what do you expect. more patience please and what was your original question? | 19:28 |
| gr33n7007h | backtrack is ubuntu | 19:28 |
| dalton2345 | ok pici i'm still on 11.10 ;) | 19:28 |

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 19:28 |
| Pici | dalton2345: That would be a recent release of Ubuntu. | 19:28 |
| alp | Original question: How do you get your mousepad working? Out of the box? | 19:29 |
| gr33n7007h | just with a ton of pentesting tools | 19:29 |
| pepee | gr33n7007h, that's like saying ubuntu is debian | 19:29 |
| pn_123123 | !mint | 19:29 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 19:29 |
| dalton2345 | pici sorry 11.04 i have | 19:29 |
| kzr22 | jsut need to know how to access irc as non root in backtrack sorry i have to ask here cause backtrack channel blocks me | 19:29 |
| amarcolino | Zal, true except the folder must still be owned otherwise I egt some annoying messages, after that it's fine | 19:30 |
| alp | mirkol, so nobody knows this question? | 19:30 |
| auronandace | kzr22: you shouldn't be logged in as root anyway, its very bad practice | 19:30 |
| amarcolino | Zal, ownded by www:date other I get some annoying messages, nevermind | 19:30 |
| Pici | alp: I think you mean 'touchpad' The mousepad is the thing that sits between your mouse and the desk. | 19:31 |
| kzr22 | auronandace, im trying to find how to not be root | 19:31 |
| kzr22 | auronandace, backtrack is wierd | 19:31 |
| mirko1 | alp: at least I don't know an answer. maybe you should try the forum and provide hardware info (what laptop, etc) | 19:31 |
| pepee | kzr22, menu-> confiuration ? | 19:31 |
| alp | yes, Pici, sorry for my bad english, and I did it, thanks for not answering... | 19:31 |

| pirate | hi, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and i was wondering if anyone knew of a Linux game, that had good graphics? i get sick of windows and it being closed source but Linux does not have good support for windows games. so i was hoping to find a Linux game, any genre really that was good. preferably free :) | 19:32 |
| LjL | kzr22: then don't use it. it's a distribution made for people who kinda know what they're doing, if you don't know how to switch from root to a normal user, then that's a hint you should be using something more user-oriented | 19:32 |
| auronandace | kzr22: backtrack is awful, somebody already told you how earlier, make a new user and log in as that user | 19:32 |

| loganrun | how do I switch session managers from untunu to gnome | 20:15 |
| dalton2345 | Nk261, its much better to install it in dual boot | 20:15 |
| loganrun | I think it asked me when I installed gnome but I didn't want to re-isntall | 20:15 |
| rhin0 | you mean unity or gnome? | 20:16 |
| loganrun | well switch from unity to gnome | 20:16 |
| DasEi | loganrun: usually you choose session when loging into desktop | 20:16 |
| loganrun | yeah the session manager | 20:16 |
| DasEi | !nounity | 20:16 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 20:16 |
| loganrun | I am talking about the session manager, isn't that unity also | 20:17 |
| DasEi | loganrun: still gdm | 20:17 |
| media | pepee just checked and the one available is in packages is the only one which is outdated | 20:17 |
| loganrun | I use gnome, but the screen seems to freeze up when the screen saver comes on, i.e. I don't get the password prompt | 20:18 |
| dalton2345 | if i chose to remain in 11.04 when they stop the updates...what can happen to my system? | 20:18 |
| media | is there a repo i can add to get more updated | 20:18 |
| pepee | media, download it from packages.ubuntu.com | 20:18 |

| auronandace | alp: flash, as in adobe flash? | 20:49 |
| ikonia | taek: just nonsense, ingore | 20:49 |
| luc4 | I'm downgrading from 7.11-0ubuntu3.2 to 7.11-0ubuntu3.1. | 20:49 |
| taek | use Tor | 20:49 |
| thiebaude | ok | 20:49 |
| alp | yes as in adobe | 20:49 |
| alp | taek, O RLY? | 20:49 |
| taek | use Tor or some proxy service | 20:49 |
| luc4 | I would like to rollback any update if possible. | 20:49 |
| ikonia | luc4: ok I'm stopping helping you as you won't answer my question | 20:49 |
| alp | ikonia, why? | 20:49 |
| luc4 | ikonia: sorry, then it means I'm not understanding the question. | 20:50 |
| ikonia | luc4: yeah "what version are you installing" is a tough question | 20:50 |
| ikonia | luc4: good luck | 20:50 |
| alp | ikonia, It is not nonsense if you don't know the answer. | 20:50 |
| alp | auronandace, do you have any idea? | 20:51 |
| luc4 | ikonia: English is not my language, no reason to get angry. | 20:51 |
| auronandace | alp: flash is closed source, how do you propose to "anonymize" it? | 20:51 |
| ikonia | alp look it's just tcp IP traffic, so you either need to mask all that, or you could live in the real world and realise that there is no need to anonymise flash | 20:51 |
| ikonia | luc4: not getting angry, just can't be bothered begging you for information. | 20:51 |
| taek | you can 't anonymize flash itself, but you can nonymize yourself by using a proxy service or tor | 20:52 |
| excelsior | super | 20:52 |
| taek | Just food for thought | 20:52 |
| ikonia | alp: the reality is, you don't need to anonymise anything, just use your cmoputer | 20:52 |
| alp | ikonia, that's it? | 20:52 |
| luc4 | ikonia: I can give you if I understand the question. I don't know what package is causing troubles here, I need to rollback any updates. I was starting with libglapi-mesa. | 20:52 |
| ikonia | alp yes, what are you trying to hide from who ? | 20:53 |
| alp | ikonia, from egoists | 20:53 |
| ikonia | alp: what' the problem, use your computer, | 20:53 |
| ikonia | alp egoists ? what ? | 20:53 |
| DasEi | luc4: you could look up system's logs/messages or strace certain crashing apps rather | 20:53 |
| Zaitzev | I just installed proftpd-basic and wonder what I can do about users, shares and whatnot. Anyone here that can help a little? | 20:53 |
| alp | ikonia yes, egoist, whom kick you for personal reasons | 20:53 |
| ikonia | alp kick you from what ? | 20:54 |
| alp | ikonia, from a room | 20:54 |
| ikonia | alp: it's just a flash application, what are you trying to hide from ? | 20:54 |
| auronandace | ikonia: i think he is having a dig at you | 20:54 |
| luc4 | DasEi: applications are segfaulting randomly. Quite difficult. I can try strace. | 20:54 |
| luc4 | DasEi: anyway, I'm sure it was a recent update. | 20:54 |
| ikonia | auronandace: he's not, he's getting kicked from chat rooms (I wonder why) and wants to hide he's rejoining | 20:54 |
| alp | ikonia, i am trying to hide myself for no reason, if you are looking for a reason, you can ignore me. thank you. | 20:54 |
| luc4 | DasEi: I'm not the only one experiencing this. | 20:55 |
| auronandace | ikonia: with flash? that makes no sense | 20:55 |
| ikonia | auronandace exactly, it's nonsense | 20:55 |
| luc4 | DasEi: any non-trivial application is crashing. | 20:55 |
| DasEi | luc4: any foreign repos activated ? did an full update&-grade | 20:55 |
| elijah | I downloaded and installed vsftpd to transfer some files to a local computer, when I to to ftp://192.168.1.100 in nautilus I get a password prompt, i choose anonymous and it boots me out, any ideas? I didn't do any advanced setup. | 20:55 |
| elijah | I followed basic instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html | 20:56 |
| alp | auronandace, ikonia, google everywherechat, mess up with some mods, get banned, it will make sense. | 20:56 |
| ikonia | alp: look, I can see in 30 seconds you are using the ip 78.185.119.219 you are part of the Turk Telekom network, | 20:56 |
| ikonia | alp: it's not a problem to see/know this inforamtion | 20:56 |
| DasEi | elijah: you gave the correwct pass of the remote pc ? | 20:56 |
| luc4 | DasEi: yes, I have some repos for backports. | 20:56 |
| alp | ikonia, I am not hiding myself from IRC | 20:56 |
| Aster | Hi! | 20:56 |
| ikonia | alp: yes, but IRC is tcp IP - the same as your flash chat room | 20:57 |
| ikonia | alp: so the same can be seen | 20:57 |
| elijah | DasEi: There is no pass for anon | 20:57 |
| alp | ikonia, the problem is that site doesn't use tcp IP, they use flash hostnames instead. | 20:57 |
| Aster | I need help with the xVidCap recording software. Basically, It asks for a folder with my audio device, and I have no idea where that is, can anyone help me? | 20:57 |
| auronandace | alp: step 1: don't use flash, step 2: obey the rules so you don't get kicked | 20:57 |
| ikonia | alp it HAS to use IP | 20:58 |
| ikonia | alp: that's how the internet works | 20:58 |
| thiebaude | or dont use the internet, just saying | 20:58 |
| ikonia | alp: dont' worry about it, just use your flash chat and enjoy | 20:58 |
| ikonia | alp: there is nothing to hide | 20:58 |
| luc4 | DasEi: any way to rollback all the upgrades until a certain day? | 20:58 |
| auronandace | alp: doesn't use tcp ip? what world are you living in? | 20:58 |
| urbancommando | lol | 20:58 |
| taek | alp why are you concerned about IP address? | 20:59 |
| urbancommando | what is tcp ip lol | 20:59 |
| urbancommando | jking | 20:59 |
| alp | I can hide my IP, I am talking about the FLASH HOSTNAME. | 20:59 |
| elijah | DasEi: It was the config file, the instructions didn't mention anon is disabled by default | 20:59 |
| taek | who cares about the flash hostname? | 20:59 |
| ikonia | alp: ok, then the answer is "talk to the person who wrote the flash application" | 20:59 |
| DasEi | elijah: working now ? | 20:59 |
| ssta | so, now that xorg.conf is deprecated, how am I suppose to tell X to emulate a 3 button mouse? | 20:59 |
| urbancommando | he's using flash protocol | 20:59 |
| ikonia | alp: the flash application you are using is closed source, so we can't change it to hide it - so talk to the person who wrote the flash application | 20:59 |
| elijah | DasEi: yes | 20:59 |
| taek | use adifferent method of connection | 20:59 |
| DasEi | nice | 21:00 |
| urbancommando | with flash layers | 21:00 |
| urbancommando | lol | 21:00 |
| mirko1 | luc4: no, but your problem is like related to a PPA you have installed. as I said i have damaged another system in a similar situation but we where able to repair it wiith ppa-purge | 21:00 |
| taek | mIRC or something else with SOCKS5 support | 21:00 |
| Aster | Anyone? | 21:00 |
| alp | which looks like; 96BC70.9DFD44.62BC19.B8E680 | 21:01 |
| alp | ok thanks for the answer | 21:01 |
| taek | alp that's anonymizing or rather masking your IP address | 21:01 |
| luc4 | mirko1: If provide my sources.list, can you give it a look? | 21:01 |
| ssta | ah: sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings | 21:01 |
| DasEi | luc4: well I could tell you, but don't think it's a good idea, rather either drop additional repos or pinpoint the issues app-wise | 21:01 |
| taek | it's a feature of IRC servers that can't reverse lookup the IP | 21:01 |
| mirko1 | luc4: maybe, pastebin | 21:01 |
| alp | what about this : ewc-5bdecc07.sasknet.sk.ca, can I anonymize this? | 21:02 |
| auronandace | alp: so in essence you are asking how to ban-dodge? that may get you banned here | 21:02 |
| DasEi | luc4: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:02 |
| luc4 | mirko1: http://pastebin.com/9TpjQL05 | 21:03 |
| alp | auronandace, I have my own room, I ban myself, I want to ban-dodge myself, now its legal. | 21:03 |
| DasEi | luc4: pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 21:03 |
| Aster | Anyone? | 21:03 |
| alp | huh? | 21:03 |
| luc4 | DasEi: ok | 21:03 |
| DasEi | Aster: haven't seen your question | 21:03 |
| Aster | I need help with the xVidCap recording software. Basically, It asks for a folder with my audio device, and I have no idea where that is, can anyone help me? | 21:03 |
| Aster | Well. | 21:03 |
| Aster | It asks where to capture audio from. | 21:04 |
| auronandace | alp: please don't ask for help on ban-dodging | 21:04 |
| DasEi | Aster: never worked with that, guess you should look in /dev/ | 21:04 |
| taek | alp that's not a question for #Ubuntu | 21:04 |
| soreau | Aster: Is it looking for something like /dev/dsp by chance? | 21:04 |
| elijah | Can I hook two computers up with ethernet to ftp, easily? Both ubuntu | 21:04 |
| alp | ok, question closed. | 21:04 |
| taek | alp: please take your question to #help | 21:04 |
| luc4 | DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/915182/, http://paste.ubuntu.com/915183/ | 21:04 |
| Aster | soreau, yes. | 21:05 |
| Aster | But it's not capturing anything. | 21:05 |
| soreau | Aster: Try 'padsp <xvidcap command>' | 21:05 |
| taher | hi there ...... i have a question .... i deleted tha path variable contents by mistake how to retrive it ? | 21:05 |
| tdlam | hi folks | 21:05 |
| taek | Aster is your camera reconized by the PC? | 21:05 |
| luc4 | DasEi: it seems I also found a way to reproduce. | 21:05 |
| DasEi | elijah: you could, but other ways like rsync over ssh , samba are more effektive, or nfs or such | 21:05 |
| Aster | It's screencap, taek. | 21:05 |
| Aster | And, I use an external sound card. | 21:05 |
| Aster | soreau, what do you mean by xvidcap command? xvidcap has commands? | 21:06 |
| taek | The screen cap is not capturing so or video? | 21:06 |
| soreau | Aster: Well how are you startin xvidcap? | 21:06 |
| taek | err so und or video | 21:06 |
| Aster | soreau, by double-clicking on it. | 21:06 |
| tdlam | was wondering if anyone could tell me how to see my windows machines on samba... | 21:06 |
| taher | there? | 21:07 |
| === decksmasher is now known as dex | ||
| taek | tdlam file sharing has to be enabled in windows | 21:07 |
| urbancommando | DasEi i believe the directory xvidcap uses is /dev/dsp or you can try this http://pastebin.com/8zhH20Yd | 21:07 |
| taek | if it's windows 7 you have to do extra configuration | 21:07 |
| tdlam | it is already...on all my machines | 21:07 |
| === |DoVe| is now known as HageK | ||
| taek | Is samba set to a work group? | 21:08 |
| DasEi | luc4: first guess the extra repo should be commented out, and fsck because of often remounts | 21:08 |
| tdlam | plain workgroup I believe | 21:08 |
| soreau | Aster: In your terminal, try padsp xvidcap | 21:08 |
| === HageK is now known as |Dove| | ||
| luc4 | DasEi: so I should comment that repo and update/upgrade? | 21:08 |
| Aster | soreau, Okay | 21:09 |
| DasEi | urbancommando: tell Aster ;) | 21:09 |
| sikilpaake | how can i get my .sh files to open with xfce-terminal? | 21:09 |
| sikilpaake | and not with "sh" | 21:09 |
| tdlam | weird because at first i was seeing evrything no problems but now nothing | 21:09 |
| soreau | sikilpaake: /path/to/file.sh or if it's in the current working directory, ./file.sh | 21:10 |
| DasEi | luc4: yes, but if you did with it enabled, will have to wait some time or re-install followed up packages | 21:10 |
| taek | tdlam have you since retarted the windows machines? | 21:10 |
| tdlam | yes all of them | 21:10 |
| sikilpaake | soreau: i meant assocation, though | 21:10 |
| Aster | soreau, I don't see a change in the prefrences. | 21:10 |
| DasEi | sikilpaake: ./blah.sh | 21:10 |
| taek | Including ubunttu? | 21:10 |
| tdlam | ty for your help BTW | 21:10 |
| soreau | sikilpaake: Oh I don't know, maybe in some xfce setting | 21:10 |
| sikilpaake | soreau: | 21:10 |
| sikilpaake | soreau: ok | 21:11 |
| soreau | Aster: preferences? | 21:11 |
| luc4 | DasEi: and sorry, what about fsck? | 21:11 |
| taek | tdlam have you restarted the samba server or the system it runs on?\ | 21:11 |
| DasEi | luc4: your syslog shows lot of ro-remount erros, so I'd check the hd from a live medium | 21:11 |
| Aster | soreau, yeah, it still says my audio capture folder thing is dev/dsp | 21:11 |
| luc4 | DasEi: I'm not the only one experiencing this. | 21:12 |
| tdlam | sorry could you tell me how to restrt my samba server? I'm on a xubuntu laptop ATM | 21:12 |
| urbancommando | DasEi it seems that the /dev/dsp is obsolete so one option is to use padsp to run it. Try padsp xidcap in terminal | 21:12 |
| luc4 | DasEi: So it shouldn't be machine-specific. | 21:12 |
| taek | Terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 21:12 |
| soreau | Aster: When you use psdsp, it's supposed to simulate /dev/dsp for the program running under it | 21:12 |
| DasEi | urbancommando: it's still Asters issue, not mine ;) | 21:12 |
| Aster | soreau, Oh. I see. | 21:12 |
| urbancommando | oh lol | 21:12 |
| taek | tdlam - Terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 21:12 |
| Jazzofilus | hi | 21:12 |
| DasEi | urbancommando: DasEi it seems that the /dev/dsp is obsolete so one option is to use padsp to run it. Try padsp xidcap in terminal << Aster | 21:13 |
| urbancommando | Aster try padsp xvidcap in terminal lol | 21:13 |

| tdlam | Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) | 21:19 |
| tdlam | utility, e.g. service smbd restart | 21:19 |
| tdlam | Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an | 21:19 |
| tdlam | Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities, | 21:19 |
| tdlam | e.g. stop smbd ; start smbd. The restart(8) utility is also available. | 21:19 |

| DasEi | tdlam: sudo initctl restart smbd , but believe it's init/upstart nowadays | 21:19 |
| auronandace | zormit: htop is just a pretty top, they will give the same results | 21:19 |
| DasEi | I believe* | 21:19 |
| DasEi | oo | 21:19 |
| luc4 | DasEi: I'm sure the problem arised today. In my changelog I see libglapi-mesa was updated. If I try to downgrade apt-get wants to remove hundreds of packages. Do you know why? | 21:19 |
| DasEi | dependencies ?! | 21:20 |

| luc4 | DasEi: that library was installed today. So the previous had the same dependencies more or less. It is almost the last update done. | 21:20 |
| zormit | It algs especially after booting. Also, when I chance the display settings (got 2 displays) | 21:20 |

| luc4 | DasEi: sorry, what is re-clone? | 21:22 |
| DasEi | luc4: but just local oc, no other machine | 21:22 |
| sikilpaake | soreau: figured it out, thanks! | 21:22 |

| sckauter | so i need instal de drivers? | 21:32 |
| bibi23 | it says the driver isn't found, do you know why? | 21:32 |
| bekks | tomreyn: From where did you install virtualbox? From the official packages from www.virtualbox.org? | 21:32 |
| auronandace | sckauter: indeed, you need the right graphics drivers | 21:32 |

| tdlam | do you think the problem may be with the windows computers? | 21:33 |
| tomreyn | bekks: i'm using the OSE distribution, i.e. the packages provided by ubuntu | 21:33 |
| auronandace | dalton2345: vms are great testbeds | 21:33 |
| sckauter | ok ty auronandace im going try install the nvidia drivers | 21:33 |
| DasEi | d-snutz: hardly, as it depends on each other, you could just get it out the menu | 21:33 |
| bekks | tomreyn: I'd purge them and use the official packages. | 21:33 |
| mirko1 | tdlam: most probably there's some problem with your network configuration (or SMB config, like workgroup name or such). it's hard to diagnose this over irc | 21:33 |

| gadien | mirko1, not that i'm insinuating.. nvm | 22:23 |
| matty75 | How do i do that? I cant Even read thw screen to type | 22:23 |
| matty75 | *the | 22:23 |
| zykotick9 | !nomodeset | matty75 | 22:23 |
| ubottu | matty75: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:23 |

| allie83 | when making a boot cd for xubuntu do i want to make a data or image? | 22:24 |
| roasted | Hello! I just purchased a Dell Latitude E4300 laptop. I was reading a review and the review mentioned the touchpad is not Synaptic and that it is Alps. I've never heard of Alps. Are Alps touchpad highly supported in Ubuntu? | 22:25 |
| bekks | allie83: When having an .iso file, you want image. | 22:25 |
| allie83 | of course i did the opposite...thank you bekks! | 22:25 |
| zykotick9 | roasted: i believe it should be fine - i've seen alps touchpads mentioned plenty (never used had one myself though) | 22:26 |
| gadien | mirko1, it appears to have gone back to how it was originally. idk, my initial problem was the auto completion in finding folder paths. i'll just have a look, see if it is the same | 22:26 |
| roasted | zykotick9: sounds good. I just kind of panicked because I was hoping I didn't make a wrong purchase. I never knew anything else existed. | 22:26 |
| roasted | zykotick9: first glance on Google revealed some users with issues, but then again, googling the same but -alps +synaptic yielded the same... | 22:26 |
| Rovanion | My sound has stopped working, and when I run alsamixer in a terminal it tells me that some file or folder cannot be found. | 22:26 |
| zykotick9 | roasted: i like your google observation ;) i'm sure it'll work out. | 22:27 |
| skel | a lot of touchpad issues for alps and elantech are fixed in 12.04 / 3.2 kernel | 22:27 |
| gadien | mirko1, it's working fine now :) auto completion is the way it should be | 22:27 |
| roasted | zykotick9: yeah. only semi scary point is someone on askubuntu said they were having issues, even with kernel 3.3 they said as a matter of days ago. | 22:28 |

| benwalburn | I'm trying to update my BIOS for my dell inspirion 1545. the dell website says A14 is the current version and I'm currently on A02. but when I use update_firmware, it says there's no available updates | 22:29 |
| roasted | zykotick9: no kidding, but I heard a lot of E4300 users say "it works great on Ubuntu!" which makes me think maybe that user was tinkering with things they shouldn't have. | 22:29 |
| zykotick9 | erisuco: yellor or green? | 22:29 |
| erisuco | yellow | 22:29 |
| skel | Guest96601: I'd recommend http://sysresccd.org/ for a livecd | 22:29 |
| bekks | benwalburn: Then read the README very carefully, since you might have to upgrade in more than one step, like A02->A05->A09->A11-A15. | 22:29 |
| matty75 | Zykotick9: is there a way to activate nomodeset without booting to the splashscreen first... cant see it | 22:29 |
| bekks | benwalburn: And thats not an Ubuntu problem either ;) | 22:30 |
| zykotick9 | matty75: you don't see the first one with the stick figure on it? hummm, sorry don't know. | 22:30 |

| bekks | benwalburn: In the archive you've downloaded or on the website you got the update from. | 22:31 |

| BathOryx | BobMarley: The /set is actually a chat command. TYPE IT OUT. The forward slash indicates it's a chat command. | 23:27 |
| BathOryx | It must literally be the first thing you type or the command will not work. | 23:28 |
| BobMarley | so in which folder i can consult the chat history? | 23:29 |
| pangolin | ~/.xchat2 | 23:29 |
| pangolin | ~/.xchat2/scrollback | 23:29 |
| no-name- | does ubuntu have an equivalent to Start > All Programs > Startup ?? | 23:30 |
| BobMarley | what the ~/. command does? | 23:30 |
| Laiam | yes and no... | 23:30 |
| i7c | BobMarley: ~ is your home dir | 23:30 |
| Laiam | no-name- if your using unity you can add startup commands via the cog wheel at the top right corner | 23:31 |
| pangolin | BobMarley, in /home/USERNAME/.xchat2/scrollback | 23:31 |
| no-name- | I'm still on 10.04 with gnome2 | 23:31 |
| i7c | BobMarley: try cd ~/.xchat2/scrollback in terminal. the . (dot) in front of a folder means it's hidden | 23:31 |
| BathOryx | BobMarley: ~ is typically /home/yourUserName | 23:31 |
| no-name- | hmm, I want this command to happen when I log in, not when I boot up though | 23:32 |
| BobMarley | oh, in ubuntu there are also hidden folder and files? | 23:32 |
| BobMarley | is there a genneral option to unhide them all? | 23:32 |
| BathOryx | no-name-: Yes. | 23:32 |
| i7c | BobMarley: sure. just put a . in front of the folder name and it's not shown | 23:32 |
| i7c | BobMarley: in the terminal? | 23:32 |
| BobMarley | yes | 23:33 |
| i7c | BobMarley: you can see what's in a folder by typing ls | 23:33 |
| i7c | BobMarley: if you wanna se hidden files and folders type ls -a | 23:33 |
| BobMarley | in windows it is possible by the explorer (nautilus like thing) | 23:33 |
| BathOryx | no-name-: If you're using Ubuntu 11.10/11.04, push the SUPER BUTTON on your keyboard. (That stupid windows logo key), Click on the UBUNTU LOGO, then type in: startup, and finally, double click on Startup applications. | 23:33 |
| i7c | BobMarley: in my file manager it works with Ctrl+h. in yours maybe too, not sure. | 23:34 |
| pangolin | BobMarley, in nautilus hit ctrl-h to hide/unhide | 23:34 |
| mkultra_ | i suggest learning the backend | 23:34 |
| Multbrelch | pangolin, thx, didnt know that | 23:34 |
| BathOryx | mkultra_: What's there to really learn? | 23:34 |
| Multbrelch | cool | 23:34 |
| mkultra_ | apt-get file system stuff | 23:35 |
| Foggalong | Hello? | 23:35 |

| born2troll | babble, got 1 more questions... are alsa and oss 2 different systems? im going to use alsa and there is a unmet dependency for oss... does it matter? | 23:35 |
| mkultra_ | oss is /dev/dsp stuff | 23:35 |
| Foggalong | Well, at least I know the program is working. | 23:36 |
| mkultra_ | id go alsa, and avoid oss | 23:36 |
| BathOryx | BobMarley: In nautilus, push: CTRL + L, to see the current DIRECTORY you're in (I don't like the folder term, :P) | 23:36 |
| mkultra_ | its old | 23:36 |
| sckauter | guys i really need your help, i just need to figure out my screen resolution, im on 1024x768 instead 1600x900, i reaaly cant i've download the nvidia driver, i've put nuveau in blacklist i«ve turn off x server....i dont knwo what to do.... | 23:36 |
| Laiam | no-name-: System, Preferences, Startup Applications I think | 23:36 |
| BathOryx | BobMarley: You can type into that bar too. | 23:36 |
| Guest91787 | how do you make 12.04 look like gnome2 | 23:36 |
| born2troll | mkultra_, thats my plan but i was not 100% sure if its the one or the other... | 23:37 |
| BathOryx | !classic > Guest91787 | 23:37 |
| ubottu | Guest91787, please see my private message | 23:37 |
| mkultra_ | i use xfce, its gnomey sort of | 23:37 |
| mkultra_ | lighter | 23:37 |
| BathOryx | !not-unity > Guest91787 | 23:37 |
| Guest91787 | BathOryx, you change it @ the log in? | 23:38 |
| daniellog | Hey, could any of you guys help me with a ubuntu server install? | 23:38 |
| mkultra_ | hello | 23:38 |
| skel | daniellog: whats the trouble? | 23:38 |
| mkultra_ | enable ssh and build it remotely from a gui machine | 23:38 |
| BathOryx | Guest91787: You can also just try something like this: http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/ Has the interface that looks like gnome2. And beautify, you can easily install that on Ubuntu. (see downloads page) | 23:39 |
| daniellog | I have a system setup with a stripped software raid, when I get to installing grup I get the error "executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed" | 23:39 |
| bjrohan | I have an issue, and I am trying to report it via approot-bug however after I check mark the appropriate button on the first screen and hit next, nothing happens. Ultimately, when I start into 3D mode (unity) I see the desktop, but receive an error message "system Tray not detected" | 23:39 |
| BathOryx | Guest91787: Did you got the PM? | 23:39 |
| Laiam | !notunity > Guest91787 | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Guest91787, please see my private message | 23:39 |
| daniellog | I'm installing it through usb rather than cd | 23:39 |
| Guest91787 | BathOryx, i saw thankh | 23:40 |
| mkultra_ | id install boot to another usb stick.... | 23:41 |
| skel | daniellog: are you installing it to the mbr or did you specify another location? | 23:41 |
| mkultra_ | make it something that can be easily mirrored and redundantly generated | 23:41 |
| sacarlson | daniellog: can you provide us with a link to what you used as a reference when you did your install? | 23:41 |
| skel | daniellog: by default I think it tries to use /dev/sda if you do custom partitioning | 23:41 |
| thiebaude | how do i make the terminal transparent? | 23:42 |
| mkultra_ | i use compiz for transparency | 23:42 |
| daniellog | as far as I know mbr, I'm not sure of the mounts for raid in linux, before I've alwaysed used dev/sda etc, but the install point to /dev/mapper by default? | 23:42 |
| Foggalong | Can anyone help me with why XChat won't connect to #YourPants IRC channel | 23:42 |
| thiebaude | mkultra_, ahh ok | 23:42 |
| AMIGAS | how do i changed the wallpaper? | 23:42 |
| daniellog | I'm not using a reference, just going through it by myself | 23:42 |
| skel | daniellog: you can try to do it by default before rebooting: sudo mount /dev/mapper/*your-raid-part* /mnt | 23:43 |
| mkultra_ | id make a /boot partition and point the mount at it | 23:43 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as myhero | ||
| mkultra_ | at the usb stick | 23:43 |
| skel | daniellog: and then do: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/mapper/*raid-drive* | 23:43 |
| mkultra_ | even a 512 can handle kernels | 23:43 |
| daniellog | so quit to the shell then run those commands? | 23:44 |
| mkultra_ | but it requires usb booting support | 23:44 |
| === irdx is now known as irdxafk | ||
| myhero | i want to setup a dual boot system ubuntu with windows 7 so what to install 1st ubuntu or windows 7 ?? | 23:44 |
| Laiam | how is it that kde has a better power manager than unity? | 23:44 |
| AMIGAS | foggalong: it works just fine | 23:44 |
| mkultra_ | install windows first, and leave enough for linux | 23:44 |
| myhero | means... | 23:44 |
| Guest91787 | myhero i always install win first | 23:44 |
| myhero | in the 1st partition windows 7 or ubuntu ? | 23:45 |
| skel | daniellog: yeah after install completes (minus failing bootloader install) just open a terminal and do those | 23:45 |
| myhero | ok | 23:45 |
| skel | daniellog: you don't have to quit the gui | 23:45 |
| mkultra_ | 1st partition is windows | 23:45 |
| myhero | if i install ubuntu 1st then any problems ? | 23:45 |
| mkultra_ | yeah | 23:45 |
| Laiam | myhero: if win first then you will need to reinstall the grub bootloader | 23:45 |
| daniellog | sorry if this seems a bit of a stupid question but how do I find the raid part out? | 23:45 |
| skel | myhero: usually windows likes to be the first OS and doesn't work well otherwise, I don't know if thats changed. Haven't dual-booted since XP | 23:45 |
| Guest91787 | if you install ubuntu first you can use easy bds or bsd | 23:46 |
| myhero | ok | 23:46 |
| myhero | thnx.. | 23:46 |
| mkultra_ | df | 23:46 |
| myhero | quit | 23:46 |
| skel | daniellog: did you use the custom partition wizard in the install process? It shows you the device name | 23:46 |
| BathOryx | myhero: If you do not want problems. Windows first, then Ubuntu. If Windows were to get installed last, then it would try to overwrite boot records and etc. | 23:46 |
| Laiam | win 7 can deal with being a second partition since it wont have an mbr after grub kills it | 23:46 |
| Neon_Sloth | can anyone answer a question for me real quick? | 23:46 |
| BathOryx | Ubuntu just handles things in a smart and more considerate manner. | 23:46 |
| Neon_Sloth | How would i voice myself. (Not on this channel) | 23:47 |
| BathOryx | Neon_Sloth: /msg chanserv voice #channel you. | 23:47 |
| daniellog | no I just used the automatic, its came up withs some werid nvidia name, something like nvidia_q3c...etc , I'm guessing the raid controller is an nvidia one | 23:47 |
| Neon_Sloth | if it wasnt my channel? | 23:47 |
| sacarlson | daniellog: the disk utility should show the status and allow you to mount and umount raids, did you use the alternate disk for your system install? | 23:47 |
| mkultra_ | id have the hardware control the raid | 23:48 |
| BathOryx | Neon_Sloth: You must have enough channel access privledge to perform such a command. Try it. | 23:48 |
| Neon_Sloth | BathOryx: even if it wasnt my channel? | 23:48 |
| Neon_Sloth | kk | 23:48 |
| mkultra_ | id prefer hardware raid over soft raid | 23:48 |
| skel | daniellog: hmm ok I'm not as familiar with raid setups, I rarely use them =/ Anyone else know how daniellog can find out what the raid device name is within the installer? | 23:48 |
| daniellog | Yeah I'm limited with resources, and alternative disk? | 23:49 |
| Neon_Sloth | it worked, thanks BathOryx | 23:49 |
| sacarlson | daniellog: here's a reference to posibly get you started, there are many other raid docs depending on what mode you want to use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 23:50 |
| daniellog | if no one knows I can just set it back to IDE mode and not bother with raid, if software raid is useless | 23:50 |
| viktor | i messed up my GUI by loading an vector-based .snv file as wallpaper. i might be able to fix this by changing the wallpaper from terminal/console. can anybody tell me where to do this? | 23:50 |
| c11hbl | hej | 23:50 |
| viktor | which directory config file to edit? | 23:50 |
| daniellog | @sacarlson thanks | 23:50 |
| === scott__ is now known as Dragnslcr | ||
| skel | viktor: what window manager? | 23:50 |
| stercor | How do I get rid of 'W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/www.bashterritory.com_pytube_releases_en Encountered a section with no Package: header?' | 23:51 |
| viktor | skel, right, gnome2, oneiric ocelot | 23:51 |
| mkultra_ | soft raid works but i wouldnt want it | 23:51 |
| mkultra_ | you get best performance when your utilizing hardware | 23:51 |
| SubstreamAI | Nebbie, I'm nubbie | 23:51 |
| skel | viktor: try gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename <path_to_image> | 23:52 |
| _Tristan | Hi. I'm looking for a small cheap usb wifi dongle that will work in oneiric. Anybody have suggestions? | 23:52 |
| === Anthony is now known as Guest73640 | ||
| daniellog | Thanks guys, I'll try again tomorrow | 23:52 |
| mkultra_ | i got one a few days ago | 23:52 |
| Jordan_U | daniellog: skel: Unless this is FakeRAID, you don't want to (it makes no sense to) install grub's boot sector to the raid device. So you should not pass any /dev/mapper/ device to grub-install. | 23:52 |
| mkultra_ | wait no i didnt lol | 23:53 |
| daniellog | @Jordan_u where should I install grub too then? | 23:53 |
| mkultra_ | Netgear WG111 V1 should work | 23:54 |
| Jordan_U | daniellog: The MBRs of the member drives. | 23:54 |
| daniellog | would they be in /dev/ ? | 23:55 |
| _Tristan | I was hoping for something cheaper | 23:55 |
| viktor | skel, i get this back from terminal: "No value to set for key: `/desktop/gnome/background/Pictures/alison_carroll_1.jpg' | 23:55 |
| viktor | " | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | daniellog: Most likely that would be /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. | 23:55 |
| daniellog | I've tried, but I still get the fatal error | 23:55 |
| daniellog | It must be something to do with this nvida raid it does not like | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | daniellog: What is the exact error message? | 23:56 |
| z1ll4 | . | 23:56 |
| viktor | skel, by "picture_filename", i was meant to put a new one to replace the old one right? | 23:56 |
| z1ll4 | o u dont need to register to speak in here? :0 | 23:56 |
| daniellog | orginnally "executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed" | 23:56 |
| BathOryx | daniellog: /dev/ is short for: devices, or device. IIRC. | 23:56 |
| daniellog | I'll try with the sda and sdb now | 23:56 |
| daniellog | yeah I know | 23:57 |
| Jordan_U | daniellog: If it's "nvidia raid" that _is_ FakeRAID. | 23:57 |
| skel | viktor: yeah thats a second parameter, so after the background/Pictures then do /path/to/alison_blah.jpg | 23:57 |
| daniellog | would I be able to use that raid or shall I not bother? | 23:57 |
| cdj | HUD is the best thing ever. | 23:57 |
| Jordan_U | daniellog: In which case what I said earlier does not apply. | 23:58 |
| mkultra_ | id setup a raid partition, and a separate drive for a boot partition | 23:58 |
| mkultra_ | a usb stick | 23:58 |
| mkultra_ | something easy to mirror | 23:58 |
| urbancommando | if its fake raid why bother? it's not going to be any faster.. right? | 23:58 |
| xixor | Yo, does anyone happen to have a System76 laptop? Do you like it? Just looking for feedback on the feel of the machine, build quality, etc | 23:58 |
| daniellog | Hmmm yeah, not the best setup though, might be just easier to not bother raiding | 23:59 |
| wylde | !ot | xixor | 23:59 |
| ubottu | xixor: #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! | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | daniellog: You should be able to, but using Linux software RAID will be faster, easier, and better supported. | 23:59 |
