| Sonic132 | Tynach, Ah sounds fun! Also, guessing your name is related to Tenacious D. | 00:04 |
| Tynach | Sonic132, what's tenacious d? | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonic132: I thought the same | 00:05 |
| Sonic132 | Tynach, Nevermind. But that sounds awesome. You made a Supercomputer. You should post a guide. | 00:05 |

| Sonic132 | Wow. Importing documents and settings from Windows takes forever. | 00:06 |
| Tynach | Sonic132, I did not make a super computer :P I made a 100 GB partition on a 500 GB drive combine with another 500 GB drive and a 200 GB drive. It's somewhat common on servers to use LVM, but for desktops the default Ubuntu installer doesn't support it, so I had to use the alternate one. | 00:06 |
| Sonic132 | Tynach, Sounds like a difficult way of getting a 1TB HD. Why not do it the easy way and just get one HD? | 00:07 |

| ZenGuy311 | i have a vps and i'm trying to stream a few video files via mounted sshfs .. my downstream i about 200KBps with my vps.. the videos frequently stop to buffer .. how can I tell mplayer or something to cache video ahead of playing it | 00:09 |
| Tynach | Sonic132, no, it's still just 800 GB. Not quite a TB. And, because the 200 GB one was free (originally all I had), and got the 500 GB one for Windows, then got another 500 GB one which I added to my Linux 200 GB. Then I combined 100 GB from my Windows drive to my Linux one. | 00:09 |
| Tynach | I don't have much money, basically. | 00:09 |
| === Someguy123 is now known as Someguy123[afk] | ||
| === Someguy123[afk] is now known as Someguy123 | ||
| Sonic132 | Tynach, I can understand the money thing. Which is why I like Linux. Totally free. | 00:10 |
| twoverpi | ZenGuy311 maybe pressing pause and waiting for a bit in the player | 00:10 |
| Tynach | ZenGuy311, you can try to use an actual streaming service that will transcode the video into a smaller file as it streams it to you live. You can then also use this to allow others to watch the exact same stream synchronized to what you see. | 00:11 |
| ZenGuy311 | twoverpi: i've tried that but it doens't help much | 00:11 |
| twoverpi | is an anti-virus, firewall procedure needed after installing ubuntu? for instance a program that asks you if you will allow outgoing traffic. | 00:11 |
| twoverpi | ZenGuy311: can you make the files smaller? | 00:11 |
| Tynach | Sonic132, I'm a 21 year old who still lives with his parents, and has no job. To say money is tight is like saying you feel uncomfortable living in a vacuum. | 00:12 |
| twoverpi | We could have all bought ourcity.com but we didn't | 00:12 |
| ZenGuy311 | Tynach: is there a way I can transcode and play on the fly from a ssh connected folder/file? | 00:12 |
| ZenGuy311 | twoverpi: no .. i've done it before but with a faster vps .. i was hopeng i could find a caching solution to keep ahead of the video downloaing | 00:13 |
| Sonic132 | How exactly do you start a pm with someone in XChat? | 00:13 |
| twoverpi | ZenGuy311:that is on the client right? | 00:14 |
| Tynach | Sonic132, right-click their name, "Open Dialog Window". | 00:14 |
| ZenGuy311 | Sonic132: right click on their username and open dialog | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonic132: or type: /msg nick hi | 00:14 |
| twoverpi | ZenGuy311: so if you had a program which could download then stream out of itself. you connect your client to the output of that program and it doesn't know the difference. it allows inserting a title page too. | 00:15 |
| Tynach | ZenGuy311, you wouldn't exactly be using ssh/sftp, but you can use something like: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/streaming.html | 00:16 |
| ZenGuy311 | twoverpi: i don't really understand what you're saying.. I connect via ssh with nautilus or mount a directory with sshfs .. the vps has my video fiels which i then play with vlc or mplayer as if it was a local file .. | 00:17 |
| sacarlson | ZenGuy311: I think I've been working on something like that with vlc but it's not working is seems to be chopy and I see it's using 100% of my cpu I guess in the transcode | 00:17 |
| Tynach | sacarlson, I use VLC streaming all the time. The trick is to use MPEG-TS encapsulation, H.264 video codec, and HTTP streaming type. | 00:18 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: cool that might be the trick then, I'll give that a try | 00:18 |
| ZenGuy311 | sacarlson: i don't transcode anything.. i just play files that are located on a server as if it was local since it's connected via ssh... i did this successfully wit ha faster vps without any issues.. this one is slower so I was hoping I could cache the video so avoid buffering | 00:19 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: is there a link or a bit more details some place like the command line? | 00:19 |
| Tynach | ZenGuy311, that's what I'm talking about. Just playing the raw files will ALWAYS be slow, and you probably should not be doing it that way. That's why we're saying you should use a streaming/transcoding system instead. | 00:19 |
| ZenGuy311 | Tynach: transcode on the server side? | 00:20 |
| sacarlson | ZenGuy311: ya that I did get working but vlc I thought wanted the output in ogg and my files are in a few formats | 00:20 |
| wylde | !info Mediatomb | 00:20 |
| ubottu | Package Mediatomb does not exist in oneiric | 00:20 |
| Tynach | http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo | 00:20 |
| wylde | boo | 00:20 |
| Tynach | ZenGuy311, yes, transcoding on the server. | 00:20 |
| alusion | My display will not turn on after the system has gone idle this has happened 3 times now | 00:21 |
| L3top | How do I pm myself !info ? | 00:21 |
| ZenGuy311 | how can I transcode on the sever-side but continue to play via ssh.. I'd liek to avoid using the front facing webserver to play videos | 00:21 |
| Tynach | sacarlson, doens't matter what the files themselves are. Just matters what you change the transcoding to. I always transcode as H.264 video, in an MPEG-TS container, over HTTP. | 00:21 |
| wylde | L3top: /msg ubottu !info something | 00:21 |
| L3top | ty | 00:21 |
| Tynach | ZenGuy311, you would use SSH port forwarding. | 00:21 |
| Tynach | That's what myself and my friend do when watching videos. | 00:22 |
| ZenGuy311 | Tynach: i don't need port forwarding since it's a vps and port 22 works just fine | 00:22 |
| ZenGuy311 | 443 | 00:22 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: yes I've been using the over http part, so what packages are needed to allow that then? | 00:22 |
| mikeconcepts | Tynach, created a new profile for chromium fixed aw snap | 00:23 |
| Tynach | ZenGuy311, I didn't mean port forwarding like that. I meant SSH port forwarding. If you stream to port 8080 on your server, you can use an SSH port forward to put that to port 8080 on your local computer, where you access the stream. | 00:23 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| ZenGuy311 | Tynach: ok | 00:24 |
| ZenGuy311 | Tynach: i'll try it this time but i'm gettign a faster vps to avoid this in the future .. it was pretty seamless the lastime i tried this | 00:24 |
| Tynach | ZenGuy311, at least I do that because I don't have access to any port BUT 22. However, if your VPS allows all ports, then you can skip that and just access the port directly. But the SSH is nice for encryption, whereas otherwise you won't get the encryption. | 00:24 |
| Tynach | sacarlson, no extra packages are needed. You just need to set up the streaming commands properly. | 00:25 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: ok so an example like this: vlc /home/sacarlson/THE_DOGS_OF_WAR.ogg --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=:1234/my.ogg}' -I dummy | 00:25 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: do you have one for your method? | 00:26 |
| Tynach | :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=ts,dst=:8080/} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :ttl=1 :sout-keep | 00:26 |
| Tynach | That's what I use. | 00:26 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: cool | 00:26 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: oh that's in the gui, I just need to translate that to my command line then | 00:27 |
| Tynach | Notice that mux must equal http, not ogg. dst must equal port, then forward slash - nothing after the forward slash. | 00:27 |
| Tynach | Ack, no. mux must be ts, not http. | 00:28 |
| Tynach | Gah. I don't understand most of it. I use the GUI :P | 00:28 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: ok I'll see if my version of vlc will support mux-ts | 00:28 |

| wylde | L3top: for some reason the bot isn't replying directly to !info | 00:32 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: ya at some point I would like it to stream to flash | 00:32 |

| chiliblue | of the 2 nvidia drivers ubuntu 11.10 is there any advantage in going from the one that isn't recommended | 00:34 |
| L3top | can you be more specific chiliblue? | 00:34 |
| chiliblue | well you have the option of installing 1 of 2 proprietary drivers for my nvidia gfx card. One is recommened and the other isn't (post release I think) just wondering whether I was right to go with the recommend driver | 00:36 |
| sacarlson | chiliblue: if it works don't fix it, I've had to install the one direct from nvidea on ubuntu 10.04, but my last install on ubuntu 11.10 worked with what ubuntu gave me. | 00:36 |
| sacarlson | chiliblue: I did use the proprietary driver on both | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | chiliblue: I just install the nvidia-current package in CLI | 00:37 |
| L3top | chiliblue I can tell you the best driver to use, and while in general I agree with sacarlson, there are certain compositing/vdpau capabilities you may want that will not be available to the driver selected... depending. | 00:37 |
| chiliblue | sacarlson, I have a audio issue with that card...I was wondering whether the other driver might solve it, or if video and audio functions of the card are not related | 00:37 |

| Tynach | sacarlson, I don't know how streaming to flash works. I tried streaming with a browser, no luck - but streaming from VLC to VLC works fine. So yeah, people will need VLC installed - but should have no troubles beyond that. | 00:40 |
| L3top | for watching h264 content for instance, VDPAU allows use of gpu/cpu for scaling et | 00:40 |

| Tynach | matt_, there are no viruses for Linux. The small amount of malware for Linux that is out there is for servers, not desktops, and there is usually a fix within hours/days of malware coming out that makes it impossible to catch it. | 00:52 |

| jeremiah_ | bazhang, it said error, (null) | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | matt_: yes as the VM can be affected | 01:00 |
| Tynach | sacarlson, streaming can be viewed from multiple machines, as long as they all have access to the port that it is being streamed to. | 01:00 |
| sacarlson | L3top: 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6100 nForce 405] [10de:03d1] (rev a2) | 01:00 |
| Sonic132 | bazhang: Maybe he doesn't know about pastebin. Before Ubuntu I never heard of it. | 01:00 |
| bazhang | jeremiah_, whats the exact command you ran in the terminal | 01:00 |
| Nach0z | pastebinit <3 | 01:01 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: oh ok then no need for icecast2 then | 01:01 |
| matt_ | ohhhh, i get you, my sincere apologies for all the noob questions, you are definetely a great support team... | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | matt_: np man, questions are fine :) | 01:01 |
| Tynach | sacarlson, as far as I remember, icecast2 only did audio streaming. That's why I didn't use it. | 01:01 |
| Tynach | If it does video streaming, I might look into it. | 01:01 |
| jeremiah_ | bazhang, i click play in the player, and it brings up an error message saying, "error, (null)" | 01:01 |
| Tynach | Found it, Sonic132. run these commands, in this order: "grub-install /dev/sda", then "update-grub". You may need to put 'sudo' in front of both of them. | 01:02 |
| bazhang | jeremiah_, yet I asked you to run it from the terminal | 01:02 |
| jeremiah_ | bazhang, and i asked for the command. | 01:02 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: Icecast now supports video streaming via theora that's the ogg method I was using | 01:02 |
| bazhang | jeremiah_, mplayer yoursong'sname.mp3 | 01:03 |
| Tynach | sacarlson, that's pretty cool. Do you have a link for how to do it? | 01:03 |
| FreeseyLinux | anyone know an app i can dl in synaptic to fine tune the scroll wheel on my mouse? | 01:03 |
| jeremiah_ | bazhang, The program 'mplayer' can be found in the following packages: | 01:04 |
| jeremiah_ | * mplayer | 01:04 |
| jeremiah_ | * mplayer2 | 01:04 |
| jeremiah_ | Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package> | 01:04 |
| FloodBot1 | jeremiah_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:04 |
| bazhang | jeremiah_, so install it? | 01:04 |
| jeremiah_ | FloodBot1, whatever | 01:04 |
| jeremiah_ | bazhang, which one, all of them? | 01:04 |
| L3top | sacarlson: as sudo: add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; apt-get update | 01:04 |
| Tynach | Sonic132, it MIGHT not work though, because your install of Ubuntu won't have updated Grub stuff. So you may want to follow this tutorial: http://www.lancelhoff.com/restore-grub2-after-installing-windows/ which I think addresses that. | 01:05 |
| L3top | sacarlson: then apt-cache policy nvidia-current and confirm that it is trying to grab the 295.xx driver | 01:05 |
| L3top | sacarlson: then apt-get install nvidia-current if indeed it is | 01:05 |
| L3top | sacarlson: the 260 driver will also work | 01:07 |
| jeremiah_ | bazhang, http://pastebin.com/fMHEHFTN i had the same prob. when wanting to install pastebinit. | 01:08 |
| HarryRichards | hm | 01:09 |
| primus | My laptop post last update decided to stop recognising what the monitor was, it's sais it's using the VESA intel graphics driver and is stuck using the unglittered version of unity. | 01:09 |
| primus | any one know anything about resolving graphics driver / screen resolution issues. | 01:10 |
| L3top | jeremiah_: your sources.list is probably screwy. sudo dpkg --configure -a | 01:10 |
| L3top | jeremiah_: please pastebin your sources.list | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | primus: you may need an xorg.conf file if its not playing nice | 01:10 |
| jeremiah_ | L3top, so i put that in. do i try again? | 01:11 |
| jeremiah_ | L3top, didn't work. same message | 01:11 |
| L3top | see what configuring dpkg does... and try and install pastebinit... but it may continue to have depend probs | 01:12 |
| primus | AcidRain2012: ok, I also thought it might have something to do with using a VESA driver for some reason I thought that there might be something else. | 01:12 |
| L3top | jeremiah_: this does not surprise me. Please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:12 |
| jeremiah_ | L3top, command. | 01:12 |
| L3top | cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:13 |
| L3top | then pastebin it | 01:13 |
| jeremiah_ | L3top, deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise universe | 01:13 |
| L3top | that is the only thing in there? | 01:13 |
| bazhang | jeremiah_, not in channel, to pastebin | 01:13 |
| jeremiah_ | is what i got | 01:14 |
| L3top | that is the problem | 01:14 |
| L3top | One moment I will find a generator... dont have off top of head | 01:14 |
| fartofagony | i know people rage when i ask which is better, but worth a shot: anyone know a simple light c++ ide in linux? | 01:14 |
| fartofagony | that i could install | 01:14 |
| fartofagony | eclipse sucked | 01:14 |
| felipe_Brz | if I change the JAVA_HOME variable in my .bashrc from java-6-sun to java-6-openjdk could it cause HPLIP driver to stop working? | 01:15 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: Icecast now supports video streaming via theora that's the ogg method I was using ; seems my net droped out not sure you got this already | 01:15 |
| Sonic132 | Anyone know how to fix grub? It's apparently where it shouldn't be and I need to move it to the default harddrive. | 01:15 |
| L3top | jeremiah_: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ generate a new sources.list and replace it. Then apt-get update | 01:15 |
| Tynach | <Tynach> sacarlson, that's pretty cool. Do you have a link for how to do it? | 01:16 |
| Tynach | I posted that after you posted the first time. | 01:16 |
| sacarlson | Sonic132: you can set your bios to boot from a different disk and from that you can also reinstall grub2 mbr to the disk you want it on | 01:16 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: not much difference: vlc /home/sacarlson/THE_DOGS_OF_WAR.ogg --sout '#duplicate{dst=std{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=source:scottc@localhost:8000/live.ogg}}' | 01:18 |
| niez_ | how can I switch default window manager from command line? | 01:18 |
| Tynach | niez_, what window manager do you want to switch to? | 01:18 |
| niez_ | for example from kde to gnome | 01:19 |
| fartofagony | whats up? i nicely asked for help / tips / advice here several times beofre. rarely someonje responding even if most are present. the only times i get a respond is when i type something like this. | 01:19 |
| reCAPTCHA | Hey, I am trying to do a simple ssh between two networked ubuntu machines. One is connected to the home network via wifi and the other is connected to the first computer via ethernet cable... I am not sure how to go about this... | 01:20 |
| sacarlson | Tynach: on the server side you just apt-get install icecast2; and setup the configs for passwords, | 01:20 |
| scientes | reCAPTCHA, whats with the name? | 01:21 |
| reCAPTCHA | scientes: It's easy to remember. :-) | 01:21 |
| scientes | ahh web portal | 01:21 |
| Tynach | niez_, best way to do that is to just log out and back in under Gnome/KDE. KDE and Gnome are not window managers, they're full desktop environments - they load a lot of stuff besides the window manager. | 01:21 |
| felipe_Brz | is there any way I can know whether a java APP is running on openjdk or sun's java? | 01:22 |
| Tynach | niez_, if you mean from KWin to Metacity (KDE's window manager to Gnome's window manager), then a simple 'metacity --replace' or 'kwin --replace' will do it. | 01:22 |
| niez_ | Tynach, so I need to switch default session from command line | 01:23 |
| niez_ | Tynach, how can I do that? | 01:23 |
| reCAPTCHA | Anyhow, I keep trying to ssh root@, but it keeps giving me a port 22 refused error. | 01:24 |
| Tynach | niez_, why the need to do it from command line? I'm not sure, but I can look it up for you... But I would kinda like to know why you need to do it from the command line. | 01:24 |
| Tynach | reCAPTCHA, you should NEVER ssh into a computer as root. Most computers block it anyway (though port 22 refused is an interesting twist, usually it's just the login refuses to go through). | 01:24 |
| niez_ | Tynach, I've created custom my_session.desktop in /usr/share/xsessions and it runs my app without any window manager | 01:25 |
| reCAPTCHA | Tynach: I've also tried the normal user login... and that does not work either. | 01:25 |
| niez_ | Tynach, and I need to run this with autologin | 01:25 |
| JonLimitless | hello everyone | 01:25 |
| Tynach | reCAPTCHA, can you ping the server? | 01:26 |
| niez_ | Tynach, and I need a way to switch to gnome sometimes | 01:26 |
| Tynach | niez_, I'm not the guy to ask. I don't know the ins and outs of the login system. | 01:26 |
| Tynach | Hope someone else can help you, niez_ :) | 01:26 |
| JonLimitless | hey, i need some help with getting my internet connected to lubuntu | 01:27 |
| sacarlson | reCAPTCHA: maybe you didn't install the ssh-server on the server side? sudo apt-get install ssh ; | 01:27 |
| jeremiah_ | L3top, what is the command to get to my sources? | 01:27 |
| reCAPTCHA | Tynach: I can ping the server.. | 01:27 |
| jeremiah_ | and add the new one | 01:27 |
| Tynach | reCAPTCHA, and are you sure the firewall permits port 22? | 01:27 |
| reCAPTCHA | Tynach: sacarlson I am a derp, I just reinstalled ubuntu, and I forgot to install ssh. | 01:28 |
| Tynach | Aah, that'd explain it x) | 01:28 |
| reCAPTCHA | You are very welcome for my wasting your time :-p | 01:28 |
| sacarlson | reCAPTCHA: yup that will do it | 01:28 |
| reCAPTCHA | Thanks, people. | 01:29 |
| L3top | jeremiah_: the easiest thing to do would be to save what that generates as a file someplace you are able to find again... say newsources.txt, the sudo cp /path/you/saved/newsources.txt /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:29 |
| L3top | s/the/then/ | 01:29 |
| JonLimitless | Hello, so it says my broadcom adapter is supported for lubuntu but it doesn't work | 01:29 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: firmware cuter I think | 01:30 |
| reCAPTCHA | Okay.. now, another silly question, how do I open up a display on the computer that I am sshing into... I want to open blender for example... | 01:30 |
| JonLimitless | how do i install the firmware sacarlson? | 01:31 |
| themooserooster | hello everyone | 01:31 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: I'm just guessing but probly apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter | 01:32 |
| L3top | JonLimitless: that would be my guess too | 01:32 |
| JonLimitless | do i just type that in to the terminal sacarlson | 01:32 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: yes with added sudo | 01:33 |
| L3top | sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter | 01:33 |
| reCAPTCHA | Never mind! Solved it. | 01:33 |
| JonLimitless | okay my driver says its the sta, bcm4322 | 01:33 |
| sacarlson | L3top: JonLimitless: and why they can't default install that package if you have a broadcom device I just don't understand | 01:34 |
| Mahmoud | how to convert DVD/CD audio tracks into wav files? | 01:34 |
| L3top | sacarlson: check your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and see ;) | 01:34 |
| sacarlson | L3top: oh ok well I don't have one so that must be the reason, as my rt73 has the same problems with 3 blacklisted drivers | 01:35 |
| L3top | there are just too many conflicts with other stuff | 01:35 |
| JonLimitless | ahhh, says unable to locate package | 01:35 |
| sacarlson | L3top: ok so it's like a trail and error thing I guess | 01:35 |
| L3top | what version are you on JonLimitless? | 01:35 |
| L3top | meaning what version of ubuntu | 01:35 |
| JonLimitless | the newest version of lubuntu 11.10 i think | 01:36 |
| troulouliou_dev | hi i installed the full samba4 on desktop , how can i prevent it to autostart on boot ? | 01:37 |

| JonLimitless | okay take your time l3top | 01:40 |

| randomuser | Tynach, yes | 01:42 |
| jaha | How do I setup X11 forwarding of my main lxde session? | 01:42 |
| Tynach | randomuser, is it that you have no physical keyboard, or is it that spice is not accepting keyboard input? | 01:42 |

| jeremiah_ | L3top, so why is this not correct??? | 01:43 |
| jeremiah_ | /home/jeremiah/Desktop/newsources.txt /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:43 |
| randomuser | Tynach, i have a physical keyboard - input is not recognized - i wouldn't presume spice isn't carrying the input at this point | 01:44 |

| L3mce | Guest30149: because something is depending on a previous version | 01:45 |
| JonLimitless | okay so since i have a sta-bcm4322 what command in full do i type to install it? | 01:45 |
| Tynach | randomuser, I have no idea then. Sorry :( | 01:45 |
| jaha | randomuser: what is the vt10? | 01:46 |

| Dexo | hello! i have a question. i would lik eto install Ubuntu 10.04 on my other laptop, my issue is that laptop does not have a CD rom drive. Would I be able to use an external hard drive to install Ubuntu to the laptop? | 01:46 |
| L3mce | I have no idea where you got it JonLimitless. I don't know what kind of file it is.... and there are probably prepackaged drivers which will do what you want | 01:46 |
| Guest30149 | L3mce, I ran update/upgrade several times. Where would I find the exact reason? | 01:46 |
| randomuser | jaha, you're telling the program, xinit, to operate on tty10 (ctl+alt+f10) | 01:46 |
| esorribas | OK what happens is this: My wifi is working, but It is really slow and whenever I run ping to any host I always loose packages. I have an acer Aspire 4743-6628 | 01:46 |
| xangua | Dexo: you can install with a live usb | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Dexo: you can use unetbootin to put the ISO onto a usb storage, why not go for Precise? | 01:47 |
| randomuser | jaha, you will also need xterm installed, if not already, sorry | 01:47 |
| jeremiah_ | arg. i didn't work | 01:47 |
| Dexo | I do not have a flash drive, only an external harddrive. I prefer 10.04 because I dont like Unity. | 01:47 |
| L3mce | apt-cache depends <package> Guest30149 | 01:47 |
| jaha | yup, just got that error, wont this create a new session on tty10 though? (sorry if i dont know what im talking about) | 01:47 |
| jaha | randomuser: ^ | 01:48 |
| L3mce | or apt-cache rdepends <package> maybe... | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Dexo: you ca tweak the UI to not have Uunity, or use Xubuntu and it won'y have unity. unity is only default in one of the 4 officially supported variants | 01:48 |
| step_init | Dexo, yes... use the same process as for a flash drive | 01:48 |
| JonLimitless | l3mce, i got it from the ubuntu website witht eh one they recommend to download. | 01:48 |
| jeremiah_ | something was incorrect | 01:48 |
| JonLimitless | then again my system did say my user did not have priviliages to connect to the internet | 01:48 |
| randomuser | jaha, it will create a new X server, and the remote system will use that X server | 01:49 |
| L3mce | can you paste the error jeremiah_? | 01:49 |
| L3mce | if it is one line, you can put it in here, otherwise pastebin jeremiah_ | 01:49 |
| Dexo | ok thanks step_init. ActionParsnip, i still think that i'm going to use 10.04 because it's that i'm familiar with and it's still LTS. | 01:49 |
| esorribas | I have a problem: My wifi is working, but It is really slow and whenever I run ping to any host I always loose packages. I have an acer Aspire 4743-6628 | 01:49 |
| jeremiah_ | cp: cannot stat `/home/jeremiah@jeremiah-hp-compaq-000000000/Desktop/newsources.txt': No such file or directory | 01:49 |

| Guest30149 | I seem to have several i386 apps listed. I am supposed to be running x86_64. | 01:50 |
| jeremiah_ | i first tried the original, didn't work | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Dexo: the older kernel and drivers may cause you issues. Precise is LTS too | 01:50 |
| oktokt | Is there a reasonably easy way to let's say completely unbind the "z" key coming from the laptops built in keyboard only? Yet still accept it from the Bluetooth keyboard. | 01:50 |
| Dexo | So I can run Precise to look and 'feel' like 10.04 without any major modifications? | 01:50 |
| L3mce | ummm... that isnt what we put in there. ls /home/jeremiah/Desktop/newsources.txt | 01:50 |
| Dexo | Because I certainly dislike Unity | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | esorribas: can you pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list; dmesg | grep -i firm | 01:51 |
| jaha | randomuser: i got lxde4-session: command not found | 01:51 |
| Guest30149 | Is there a way to force it to upgrade everything to current _64 apps? | 01:51 |

| esorribas | sure, just a moment, tanhks | 01:51 |
| L3mce | ok jeremiah... how are you saving this file? | 01:51 |
| randomuser | jaha, i think i mistyped- were you going for lxde (lxsession) or xfce (xfce4-session)? You may have to correct me, remember the tab key | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jaha: do you mean lxde-session ? | 01:53 |
| jeremiah_ | i see. i spelled sources wrong on the exe | 01:53 |
| esorribas | ActionParsnip http://pastebin.com/1XTcvpqa | 01:54 |
| L3mce | here... jeremiah_ just copy and paste this... sudo cp `find /home -name 'newsources.txt'` /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:54 |
| esorribas | I think that's right | 01:54 |
| L3mce | oh | 01:54 |
| jeremiah_ | ok | 01:54 |
| L3mce | no jeremiah_ if it is misspelled that wont help | 01:54 |
| jeremiah_ | i fixed it. | 01:54 |
| L3mce | ok let me know once you have successfully copied it | 01:55 |
| jeremiah_ | i puts in all the commands and it had no error in the term | 01:55 |
| L3mce | great... now apt-get update jeremiah_ | 01:55 |
| L3mce | er... jeremiah_ sudo apt-get update | 01:55 |
| jaha | randomuser: ok, getting closer, how can i have X11 forward it to a window instaed of take over my display | 01:55 |
| Guest30149 | Or is this something that will fix itself when the dependencies catch up? | 01:56 |
| jeremiah_ | E: Malformed line 12 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) | 01:56 |

| Dexo | Well, I'm gonna stick with 10.04 on my next install because the Macbuntu theme/pack I use only withs with 10.04/10.10 | 01:56 |
| Dexo | only works with* | 01:56 |
| xangua | tdmackey: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin support | 01:56 |
| L3mce | Guest30149: it is a dependency that is PREVENTING it from changing versions. Why do you want a different version than the one being held back? Just because or is there a purpose? | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | jeremiah_: can you give the output of: head -n 12 /etc/apt/sources.list | tail -n 1 | 01:57 |
| tdmackey | xangua: that's | 01:57 |
| randomuser | jaha, i dont know, i always do that and just switch TTYs | 01:57 |
| Guest30149 | L3mce, I did not try to change anything. I went to update, and it gave me the message. | 01:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Dexo: I'd go for the newer libs and kernel over some eyecandy | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Dexo: your call | 01:58 |
| L3mce | Guest30149: ignore the message. It means that it is not changing versions along with the rest of the upgrade because SOMETHING requires that specific version of that specific package. It is a good thing. It is preventing something from breaking. If it ain't broke, dont fix it | 01:58 |
| jeremiah_ | deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security | 01:58 |

| sacarlson | why would my irc client pidgin keep disconecting when I seem to have steady internet? I end up having to disable and reenable my irc account to come back online. is there a fix for this? I just installed the new version of pidgin from ppa to try to fix with no improvments | 01:59 |
| Guest30149 | OK. I just wanted to be sure I had not messed something up. Thanks. | 01:59 |
| jaha | randomuser: woops, i meant on the client end, is there a flag for the ssh -X call? | 01:59 |
| L3mce | np Guest30149 ;) | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: try closing the app and renaming ~/.purple then rerun | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: do you use a proxy? | 02:00 |
| randomuser | jaha, yeah, i know what you meant. You can do individual applications, or you can do a whole session, or you can do VNC in a window but the performance sucks | 02:00 |

| CAZ_au | If i copy all the updated for ubuntu 11.10 from a friend also running Ubuntu 11.10 64bit (includes new kernal updates) will my graphics card drivers also have to be redownloaded (nvidia).

| jaha | randomuser: well, its an interactive display kiosk -ish setup so i bascially want visual confirmation of what the display is doing | 02:04 |
| L3top | pyromaniac77: you will need to install firmware/drivers for that specific webcam most likely | 02:04 |

| james-ubc | 11.10 | 02:26 |
| JonLimitless | i do not have bcswl-kernal-source, how can i get it to put on my lubuntu | 02:26 |
| james-ubc | originally 11.04 if that helps | 02:27 |
| sacarlson | james-ubc: try install wicd | 02:27 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: I think it's just a package so sudo apt-get install bcswl-kernal-source | 02:28 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: did you find the firmware packages ok? | 02:29 |
| JonLimitless | says unable to locate it, thats why i am trying to find it to put it on it | 02:29 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: can you use a wired network on that system? | 02:29 |
| JonLimitless | sacarlson, no its some how not on the machine, and mmy disk drive isn't running right so its not on it | 02:29 |
| JonLimitless | sacarlson, i tried except the network card won't connect | 02:30 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: oh those package will have installed offline then | 02:30 |
| JonLimitless | sacarlson, yes i can through my external harddrive, just need to find the file to install it offline | 02:31 |
| === toa is now known as Toa | ||

| sacarlson | JonLimitless: what system do you have that now has internet conectivity? | 02:32 |
| JonLimitless | its a windows vista pc, sacarlson | 02:33 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: there are tools to gather dependancies so you can move and install the files, oh windows , I'm not an expert in methods for that | 02:34 |
| JonLimitless | sacarlson, i meant that the pc i am downloading the files to is a windows pc, then putting the files on a harddrive and then connecting it to the lubuntu pc | 02:34 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: yes I think I understand but you will need the dependancy list and download the group of deb files that will include compilers and other header files | 02:35 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: synaptic can create a deb list from the dependancies I guess you can try that | 02:36 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: I would try to tether your windows with wire ethernet to enable downloading the dependancies | 02:37 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: or if you have a wired router plug it in to get the files | 02:37 |
| JonLimitless | sacarlson, i tried to plug it in the router but the internet never popped up that its connected | 02:39 |

| Lirth1 | I've had some problems with my 7.1 surround sound and whenever I try to use it, it has the only output option as "dummy output". How would I fix that? It works fine with 5.1 surround. | 03:07 |
| JonLimitless | i tried sacarlson | 03:09 |
| sacarlson | Lirth1: I know little about sound but I guess you need a media source that has 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound to be able to make use of it | 03:09 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: and results are? | 03:09 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: ping google.com ; works? | 03:09 |
| Lirth1 | sacarlson: What do you mean? | 03:09 |
| sacarlson | Lirth1: what media like dvd or some avi video that has 5.1 or 7.1 sound encoded in it | 03:10 |
| mars__ | which translation tool is good?thanks~ | 03:11 |
| Lirth1 | sacarlson: I mean it won't even play any sound when I select 7.1 surround. If I choose 5.1, it'll play anything from Pandora to youtube. If I choose 7.1, it won't even do the speaker test that I can hear. | 03:11 |

| sacarlson | Lirth1: well I'm sure youtube and not sure about pandora are not even 5.1 encoded so why bother with 7.1? | 03:12 |
| mars__ | i am rookie | 03:12 |
| Lirth1 | sacarlson: I want to take full advantage of my sound for when I use my games. I just use those two to test if any sound comes out. | 03:13 |
| sacarlson | mars__: google has good translation | 03:13 |
| mars__ | is it a client? | 03:13 |
| sacarlson | Lirth1: so you have 8 speaker outputs from your sound card? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.1_surround_sound | 03:14 |
| Lirth1 | sacarlson: My mobo has 8 channel and my headset actually has its own built in sound card. | 03:14 |
| sacarlson | Lirth1: I guess you'll just have to live with the 6 that now work in soround sound 5.1 or someone with more knoledge can help you with it | 03:15 |
| JonLimitless | is ther like a lubuntu repair disk sacarlson? | 03:16 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: yes as I said you need a list of all the dependancies and down load each of them, I don't understand how a simple wired network card won't work | 03:17 |
| sacarlson | JonLimitless: and the results of ifconfig? no ip address like 192.168.1.5 ? what address does it end up with for inet? | 03:18 |
| JonLimitless | no its all empty sacarlson | 03:18 |

| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: are there any bugs reported? | 03:30 |
| Lirth | sacarlson: The only think I know I did was set the sound for my headset to "Off" (to reset it) and the to 7.1 surround. Usually I'd go from 5.1 to 7.1 and I'd have problems. I'm going to see if I can recreate it. | 03:30 |

| bitplane | wolfric no, you may want to edit your config file to only allow connections from trusted machines | 03:55 |
| wolfric | what exactly takes so long for it to be pushed through, samba have already released a patch | 03:56 |
| bitplane | wolfric: we'll have a fix in a day or so I guess. this is critical | 03:56 |
| wolfric | right but again, i don't mean to be pushy but if i was in the position to be pushing out hte updates, i'd be pushing it out asap making every minute count | 03:57 |

| wolfric | scientes: the source patch file is 1.2MB? | 04:02 |

| wolfric | scientes: where are you getting your numbers from | 04:03 |
| scientes | wolfric, thats what i heard in #debian-security from | 04:03 |
| scientes | <nion> i may be missing something, i didnt look long at it. but the patch for 3.5.13 is 1,4mb big, does not cleanly apply to 3.5.6 and patches a large pile of perl code :) if we are lucky, its just wrong positions in the file | 04:03 |

| scientes | wolfric, #debian is on irc.oftc.net | 04:04 |
| scientes | ^^bitplane | 04:04 |
| wolfric | scientes: the #debian-security? as #debian is also on freenode | 04:04 |
| gagzilla | the problem isn't in firefox/tenfourfox- it's the freakin flash plugin that's taking over the world and has no ppc build available | 04:04 |
| scientes | wolfric, that was on oftc | 04:05 |
| scientes | wolfric, irc.debian.net points to oftc | 04:05 |

| bitplane | wolfric: yeah I'm an IT consultant who works for large enterprises like banks. owning people's machines isn't worth the risk to me | 04:18 |

| Guest8902 | oh ,no ,how to change my name | 04:19 |
| JacobVengeance | Using on other peoples networks and machines is, but not writing the exploit or even using it on your own machines. | 04:19 |
| bitplane | not sure, depends where you live. publishing malicious code in the UK might be illegal depending on its primary use | 04:19 |
| scientes | if you install a backdoor in stuff you distribute, you put yourself in for legal liability | 04:20 |
| === Guest8902 is now known as Mars__ | ||
| scientes | is that true? | 04:20 |
| JacobVengeance | You can only use them on your own machines or machines you have consent for. Publishing an exploit is not illegal by any means. | 04:20 |
| drewv | I think what i meant to ask was are their disadvantages to the the Windows installer(Wubi)? | 04:20 |
| paulus68 | bitplane: is also a reason why It consultants are not allowed to take over pc's from their clients because this would result in a security breach (giving support on an application called isabel) | 04:21 |
| JacobVengeance | drewv, if either one gets a disk problem or error it effects both systems and can render them useless. | 04:21 |
| bitplane | paulus68: that sounds more like a company policy than a legal issue | 04:21 |
| drewv | jacobVengeance, thanks | 04:22 |
| JacobVengeance | drewv, but in modern versions it is highly unlikely. | 04:22 |
| scientes | drewv, suspend doesn't work on the wubi | 04:23 |
| sacarlson | drewv: I hate wubi sorry but I just do | 04:23 |
| sacarlson | drewv: it's find as a test bed to see if you like it but doesn't or is difficult to support | 04:24 |
| sacarlson | find = fine | 04:24 |
| paulus68 | bitplane: well if you perform illegal transactions from the client pc it would be causing a serious problem not only for the bank for which I am working but also for Isabel since isabel is a program that is used by large enterprises to do their payments to their suppliers and do collections aswell | 04:25 |
| JacobVengeance | I think it is only good for testing for first time as sacarlson says. After that just dual-boot and you can always repartition if you want to get rid of either systems. | 04:25 |
| mrp | my apt-get update keeps crashing | 04:25 |

| bitplane | wolfric: no, but it crashes it anyway | 04:27 |
| Axz | alusion, i know there is but encrypting entire systemfile where ubuntu is on is pain in the butt | 04:27 |
| JacobVengeance | I just use small tools like aescrypt on Ubuntu for individual files and then wipe the free space. | 04:27 |

| wolfric | bitplane: 3.5.11 | 04:28 |
| bitplane | I'm on 3.5.11 too | 04:28 |
| sacarlson | Axz: yes sure a partition is easy but to boot from that partition get a bit trickier but also doable | 04:29 |
| JacobVengeance | alusion, were they the proprietary drivers? | 04:29 |

| Axz | lovely | 04:31 |
| javierf_ | paulus68, thanks :) | 04:31 |
| Axz | so start with alternative cd? | 04:32 |
| sacarlson | Axz: I've only played with it in virtualbox some time ago so I might have to dig to find any info on it | 04:32 |
| sacarlson | Axz: yes the alternate cd will make it much easier, there are fools that try to do it with the desktop iso that can also be done but just uneeded trouble | 04:33 |
| n2diy | My box went weird on me, I finally got it working again after killing my window manager, but now i can't play youtube videos or listen to pandora. I reinstalled adobe flash, but still no joy, help? | 04:33 |

| Charadanigma | hey | 04:34 |
| wolfric | bitplane: what have you customised on your system? just tried 2 different setups and it didn't crash either of them | 04:35 |
| bitplane | wolfric: maybe my smb client is broke? I should try from another machine | 04:37 |

| scientes | amagee, don't try to break things please | 05:14 |
| scientes | amagee, to match broken programs, the programs should be changed instead | 05:14 |
| amagee | scientes: do you have any actual help? | 05:14 |
| scientes | amagee, at the least, use a LD_PRELOAD instead of changing system functionality | 05:14 |
| ActionParsnip | amagee: I'd get a buddy to test the connection | 05:14 |

| scientes | amagee, you cant make your external ip resolv to localhost cause dns goes in the opposite direction | 05:15 |
| ponrajuganesh | Greetings!!!!! | 05:16 |
| ponrajuganesh | I use at command but inorder to add a script as the at job it takes more time what could be the reasong? | 05:16 |
| sacarlson | ponrajuganesh: can you give an example of this script? | 05:17 |
| ponrajuganesh | it is the script that will start the OS Watcher service | 05:18 |
| ponrajuganesh | here is the script | 05:18 |

| ponrajuganesh | this is what I just try to add in the at job | 05:19 |
| ponrajuganesh | bash /OSWREPORTS/startOSW.sh | at now + 1 minutes this is the command I use scientes sacarlson | 05:19 |
| scientes | ponrajuganesh, that script looks fine, but what is in the tar---we have no idea | 05:20 |
| scientes | ponrajuganesh, cant you just untar it once? | 05:20 |
| sacarlson | ponrajuganesh: you don't have to uncompress it every time just the firt time | 05:20 |
| scientes | ponrajuganesh, you could make the script just the last 2 lines | 05:20 |
| ponrajuganesh | Oh should I tar it only once ? ya ok will try that sacarlson scientes | 05:21 |
| scientes | just shorted it to the last two lines ponrajuganesh | 05:21 |

| sacarlson | ok now over 1.5 hours since I've had a problem with my pidgin connection after I switched my connection to static, so that must be it then, wonder why my dhcp lease effects my pidgin to get disconected? but I'm happy so I will live with this work around | 05:24 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: could make your DHCP lease longer if you use a home grade router (an it allows the setting) | 05:25 |
| bitplane | sacarlson: did your IP change every hour? | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: if its a desktop PC and on a wired link, just stick it on static IP anyways and get rid of network manager | 05:25 |
| ponrajuganesh | i am running it guys sacarlson scientes will ping in 5 mins | 05:26 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: I did make it longer it was 10 minits and I had more problems then, now after changing to 1 hour I noticed that pidgin problem also changed time so this must be it. I can't tolerate over 1 hour lease as I sometimes switch servers and don't want to run 2 system more than 1 hour to switch all users over | 05:27 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: yes I already got rid of network manager and have now taken out the dhclient out of my scripts so it's all static now | 05:29 |
| scientes | sacarlson, i've had problems with connectivity | 05:30 |
| scientes | using dhcp and precise | 05:30 |
| scientes | xchat keeps dying | 05:30 |
| scientes | connection-wise, where i have to reconnect | 05:30 |
| sacarlson | scientes: so I guess my other idea of changing to another client wouldn't have worked then | 05:30 |
| scientes | sacarlson, i get it in pidgin too | 05:30 |
| scientes | no i dont think its ubuntu problem, but are you having the same issue? | 05:31 |
| sacarlson | scientes: I guess you should try static then to verify my theory | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: makes sense for a static PC, makes the system run better (fewer services) as well as boot faster (not waiting for DHCP or start the net manager service) | 05:31 |
| scientes | yeah, i had static bridge, but then bootup hangs for 60 seconds | 05:31 |
| scientes | quite annoying | 05:31 |
| Al_nz1 | hey scientes! | 05:31 |
| Al_nz1 | hows it | 05:32 |
| scientes | Al_nz1, hello again | 05:32 |
| sacarlson | scientes: well I don't reboot much so I might not notice 60 secounds event that only happens every 60 days | 05:32 |
| Al_nz1 | scientes: you know a bit about iptables aye? | 05:33 |
| scientes | sacarlson, yeah i've got this spontaneous reboot thing (i use nvidia prop so i dont complain) | 05:33 |
| scientes | maybe once a day | 05:33 |
| scientes | anyone know how to do portmortum debugging with kexec? | 05:34 |
| sacarlson | scientes: postmortum? | 05:34 |
| sacarlson | !ask | Al_nz1 | 05:34 |
| ubottu | Al_nz1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 05:34 |
| scientes | sacarlson, so instead of a reboot, a kernel panic, reboots into a special kernel with an initrd that dumps the crash dump and writes it to disk | 05:35 |
| scientes | using kexec | 05:35 |
| scientes | linux supports it, but i dont know an easy way to enable it | 05:35 |
| scientes | you keep the backup kernel in ram for the panic | 05:35 |
| sacarlson | scientes: cool that might be needed in like 12.04 but 10.04 never crashes | 05:35 |
| yakko | hey guys, does TuxGuitar play the sounds??? | 05:35 |
| === anonymous is now known as Guest24654 | ||
| scientes | sacarlson, no, this is nvidia probably | 05:35 |
| Al_nz1 | sacarlson: i wasnt asking to ask, just checking that scientes could help | 05:36 |
| scientes | but it is something we should package up nicely in some way sacarlson | 05:36 |
| Al_nz1 | cause its a long winded question | 05:36 |
| sacarlson | Al_nz1: no one can help if they don't know the question | 05:36 |
| scientes | however, i think systemd is where its being integrated nicely, so maybe we need that first | 05:36 |
| Guest24654 | ive just installed ubuntu server on my desktop computer for openssh server but i cant find instructions on what to do next srry 4 being a noob | 05:36 |
| scientes | Al_nz1, no im not really an iptables expert, but in know some networking | 05:36 |
| sacarlson | Al_nz1: then pastebin the question | 05:36 |
| scientes | ^good idea | 05:36 |
| Al_nz1 | sacarlson: good idea | 05:36 |
| scientes | Guest24654, ssh-keygen on the client | 05:37 |
| scientes | Guest24654, then ssh-copy-id user@host; then ssh user@host | 05:37 |
| scientes | Guest24654, after that you can turn off password authentication on the server, which makes it super secure | 05:37 |
| sacarlson | Al_nz1: I"ve done some custom iptables myself and have also got help from #iptables for some of my biger chalenges | 05:38 |
| Guest24654 | the client would be what i want to access the server right? and do i need to start the ssh on the server somehow or just turn on the machine and im done | 05:38 |
| scientes | Guest24654, the ssh client is installed by default in most distros (inc ubuntu) | 05:39 |
| Al_nz1 | sacarlson & scientes: http://pastebin.com/Hb0rEkjv | 05:39 |
| Al_nz1 | sacarlson: I tried #iptables which redirected to netfilter - not much help so far | 05:40 |
| sacarlson | Guest24654: and now that the ssh-server is installed it should already be running and will also auto start at reboot | 05:40 |
| sacarlson | Al_nz1: sound more like you want a proxy like squid | 05:42 |
| scientes | ^ | 05:43 |
| Al_nz1 | iptables should do it, just a case of getting the rule right I think | 05:43 |
| sacarlson | Al_nz1: there may be an iptables method but seems like squid or even apache2 proxy would be what you want | 05:43 |
| scientes | why not just use squid in tranaparent non-caching mode | 05:43 |
| TheEmpath | hi ubuntuians | 05:43 |
| Al_nz1 | sacarlson: its not all http traffic either | 05:43 |
| TheEmpath | i am working as hard as humanly possible ot not panic right now | 05:44 |
| sacarlson | Al_nz1: I don't know if squid or proxy cares if it's http or not | 05:44 |
| Al_nz1 | i see | 05:44 |
| Al_nz1 | i guess I feel i am close with iptables, and would be reluctant to learn something new | 05:44 |
| TheEmpath | Ubuntu just told me that my version of Ubuntu is not supported anymore... and now, -NONE- of my rsa passphrases work | 05:44 |
| scientes | TheEmpath, those two are unrelated | 05:45 |
| scientes | TheEmpath, unless its REALLY REALLY old | 05:45 |
| sacarlson | Al_nz1: keep at it for 12 hours if you fail after that time try anther path that will take about 1 hour or less without ever using it before | 05:45 |
| paulus68 | Al_nz1: can it be possible that your public ip is changing perhaps you need a dyndns account | 05:45 |
| TheEmpath | scientes: as they should be. its the only correlation i can draw. | 05:45 |
| scientes | TheEmpath, and its the debian bug, but then those rsa keys are worthless | 05:46 |
| Al_nz1 | paulus68: got dyndns, and for the moment its not changing | 05:46 |
| Al_nz1 | sacarlson: fair suggestion | 05:46 |
| TheEmpath | scientes: how do I fix it? | 05:46 |
| paulus68 | Al_nz1: did you try to access your cam through the dns account? | 05:46 |
| TheEmpath | scientes: if I can't get those passphrases working, im going to have serious problems doing my job tomorrow | 05:47 |
| scientes | TheEmpath, hopefully it isn't this bug: https://xkcd.com/424/ in that case you have to regenerate your ssh keys | 05:47 |
| TheEmpath | scientes: how do I regenerate my ssh keys? | 05:48 |
| scientes | bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477454 | 05:48 |
| scientes | oh wait | 05:48 |
| scientes | http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.security.announce/1614 | 05:48 |
| scientes | thats 2008 however | 05:48 |
| scientes | its probably not that old | 05:48 |
| TheEmpath | im on Ubuntu 10.10 | 05:48 |
| scientes | yeah, then no, so the rsa thing is totally seperate from the out-of-date thing | 05:49 |
| TheEmpath | those keys are the only way into my remote servers... i absolutely need them to work | 05:49 |
| scientes | TheEmpath, they are probably still there: check this out http://help.github.com/linux-verify-ssh/ | 05:51 |
| scientes | TheEmpath, and man ssh | 05:51 |
| scientes | maybe its that seahorse integrates ssh, and you have to tell ssh what key to use | 05:51 |
| TheEmpath | my keys are there, ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa asks me to put in the passphrase and it tells me my passphrase is wrong | 05:51 |
| scientes | TheEmpath, so check out seahorse command too to find your keys | 05:51 |
| scientes | TheEmpath, check numlock and capslock and your keyboard layout if you have any wierd characters | 05:52 |
| pentagonpie | When i set a picture as background but than move the picture to another folder, after log out the wallpaper resets, can't the OS follow the moved picture? | 05:52 |
| scientes | pentagonpie, in short, no it cant | 05:53 |
| scientes | pentagonpie, but you could google "hard link" | 05:53 |
| TheEmpath | its not numlock or caps lock and my layout is fine | 05:55 |
| sacarlson | TheEmpath: even with you old ubuntu no longer being supported I assume it still works? | 05:55 |
| TheEmpath | im typing the pass into gedit and copy and pasting it from there | 05:55 |
| TheEmpath | sacarlson: ubuntu still works... the ssh key is not letting me use the passphrase | 05:55 |
| scientes | TheEmpath, are you using edit->paste, or middle-click, ? | 05:55 |
| sacarlson | TheEmpath: what about the old install that shouldn't have changed | 05:56 |
| TheEmpath | scientes: edit-paste | 05:56 |
| TheEmpath | sacarlson: old install? i didn't upgrade ubuntu. it just told me its no longer supported | 05:56 |
| sacarlson | TheEmpath: so it's not supported what did you do erase it? | 05:57 |
| TheEmpath | the passphrase being rejected is not the user passphrase on the server, btw. its the passphrase on the key itself | 05:57 |
| TheEmpath | sacarlson: what? Maverick apparently is no longer being supported, thats all the message way | 05:57 |
| TheEmpath | was | 05:57 |
| sacarlson | TheEmpath: are the other boxes within physical proximity? | 05:58 |
| TheEmpath | sacarlson: no | 05:58 |

| TheEmpath | I just don't udnerstand....how the hell can a passphrase go BAD on a ssh key!? i' | 06:00 |
| sacarlson | TheEmpath: hackers? | 06:00 |
| Al_nz1 | when I run sudo iptables -L - even after just adding a rule I dont get anything? | 06:01 |
| sacarlson | TheEmpath: an angry employee | 06:01 |
| TheEmpath | sacarlson: I'm the only one | 06:01 |
| Al_nz1 | is my rule not getting added ? http://pastebin.com/9YVMDu5t | 06:02 |
| TheEmpath | sacarlson: Can't be hackers. The key is on a VM on my local box. | 06:02 |
| sacarlson | TheEmpath: well on the remote side they can regen a new set of keys | 06:02 |
| TheEmpath | its not the remote side failing | 06:02 |
| TheEmpath | ssh-keygen -f psllc_rsa -p tells me the passphrase is bad | 06:02 |
| sacarlson | TheEmpath: oh ok so you try to gen a new key set and it makes bad ones, wow I'm not sure | 06:03 |
| TheEmpath | sacarlson: no | 06:04 |
| TheEmpath | I have keys generated from months ago. As if last week, the passphrase worked | 06:04 |
| TheEmpath | As of thirty minutes ago, they suddenly stopped | 06:04 |
| TheEmpath | As if = as of | 06:04 |
| TheEmpath | the passphrase simply "rotted" which I know sounds completely impossible but it happened | 06:05 |
| sacarlson | TheEmpath: I've never played with it but I think there is an option for a time window for a key to expire | 06:05 |
| TheEmpath | the key was initially generated on another machine... 10.04 about a few months ago | 06:07 |

| Arovij | Hi I have created a virtual interface eth0:0 with ifconfig command. I want to do 'tc' on the virtual interface with 'sudo tc qdisc add dev eth0:0 root netem delay 200ms ' . The changes are getting applied to eth0 also which shouldn't happen. Am I missing something? Thanks. | 06:11 |
| scientes | Arovij, use ip addr add, not ifconfig | 06:12 |
| scientes | Arovij, and you cant do that, you have to create a bridge | 06:13 |
| scientes | wait | 06:13 |
| scientes | i think you can, but anyways use the ip command, not ifconfig | 06:13 |
| Abhijit | hi | 06:14 |
| Abhijit | i have shared folder to guest ubuntu in vbox. how do i access it from the guest ubuntu? | 06:14 |
| scientes | Abhijit, #vbox if you are using vbox features, otherwise its the same as other networking | 06:14 |
| scientes | but please qemu-kvm + virt-manager is way better | 06:15 |
| Abhijit | scientes, 'what' means by same as other networking? where shoudl i click for that 'same as other networking' feature? | 06:15 |
| scientes | Abhijit, its just standard network file sharing | 06:15 |
| Voyager_ | i'm shed with X11 and I need to preview a pdf. preview isn't a valid command.... how would I do that? Thanks in advance | 06:15 |
| Abhijit | there is nothing pubic folder | 06:15 |
| scientes | Abhijit, samba has ubuntu/nautilus integration, otherwise use nfs or ssh (ssh ie easiet IMHO) | 06:16 |
| scientes | i generally just use ssh | 06:16 |
| scientes | if they are both ubuntu, use ssh or nfs | 06:16 |
| Abhijit | ok | 06:17 |
| scientes | top connectio via ssh use file-connect to server in nautilus (or you use to be able to type it in, but that doesn't work anymore) | 06:18 |
| james53 | how can i sync my iphone with rhythmbox? | 06:18 |
| scientes | mounting nfs requires root | 06:18 |
| scientes | james53, when you find old let me know if you have a good experience | 06:19 |
| sacarlson | Voyager_: in ubuntu I think there is a default installed pdf viewer try open it in nautilus | 06:19 |
| Voyager_ | sacarlson: I'm in ssh -X | 06:19 |
| sacarlson | Voyager_: it should still work | 06:20 |
| scientes | its called evince Voyager_ | 06:20 |
| sacarlson | Voyager_: type nautilus | 06:20 |
| Abhijit | scientes, okey thanks | 06:20 |
| scientes | Voyager_, or you can use xdg-open /path-to-file.pdf | 06:20 |
| Al_nz1 | does this rule listen for traffic on port 5555? sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i wlan0 -d 192.168.1.71 -p tcp --dport 5555 -j DNAT --to 192.168.70.140:80 | 06:20 |

| mentalove | general question - does ubuntu 11.10 support AMD gpu cards ? im looking to buy a HD 6870 | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | mentalove: it should work with the proprietary driver | 06:34 |
| idfbfg | I've seen a link before that does what I am asking. I am sorry though. Although I normally use Ubuntu. I am currently using Windows XP and wanted to fix the pop-up window from MagicJack so I looked into something called magichide but don't want to trust it | 06:35 |
| mentalove | okay. i have a nvidia card now. it was awesome, ubuntu found the driver and it worked automatically | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mentalove: yeah nvidia kicks ass | 06:36 |
| idfbfg | Thank you for telling me about strings, I will check it out sometime | 06:36 |
| mentalove | yes nvidia is good but it sucks for mining bitcoins | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mentalove: for the price of electricity, you'll probably find bitcoins aren't worth it | 06:38 |
| haylo | you can use nvidia for FreeBSD ati has no support :/ | 06:39 |
| idfbfg | This is along the lines of what I was wanting: http://virusscan.jotti.org/en | 06:40 |
| mentalove | ActionParsnip, you are right. but it is still a fun hobby :) | 06:43 |
| Andy2113 | evening everyone | 06:45 |
| mentalove | another question. can i run a nvidia card and a amd card in the same computer and somehow use them seperately ? | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Morning Andy2113 | 06:45 |
| Andy2113 | my computer's been failing. Internet keeps crashing, programs close randomly, I don't know what's going on. | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: have you tested your ram using memtest from grub? | 06:46 |
| Andy2113 | I was trying to torrent Ubuntu 11.04 and deluge closed on me. Firefox wont even open, nor Chrome or Chromium | 06:46 |
| mentalove | solution is dban | 06:47 |
| idfbfg | Remember to back first | 06:47 |
| Andy2113 | ActionParsnip, I'm not very well versed with linux or ubuntu. Someone suggested I do that a couple of days ago, and I didn't know what I was looking at/for. I think upgrading it, or maybe formatting my PC should do the trick | 06:47 |
| Andy2113 | I am currently on 11.04 | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: hold SHIFT at boot and select it from grub using keyboard | 06:48 |
| idfbfg | It used to be esc, not shift | 06:49 |
| Andy2113 | also, it wont let me boot into ubuntu right away. When I select Ubuntu (or even other linux versions) it just keeps restarting over and over, until eventually by some miracle in lets me in | 06:49 |
| Andy2113 | and it's suuuuuuper buggy/unstable | 06:49 |
| Andy2113 | right now, I actually came to see if anybody could maybe give me the terminal command to do an upgrade, because I can't even access google to look that up | 06:50 |
| idfbfg | http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/ | 06:50 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: what do you want to upgrade to ? | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | idfbfg: anything after karmic uses grub2. Grub1 uses esc as you say :-) | 06:51 |
| idfbfg | :), sorry for my wording sounding bad | 06:51 |
| Andy2113 | ActionParsnip, even if I did a memtest, I have no idea what I am looking for. I dont have another computer handy so I can relay the info on the channel, nor the memory to remember what it says, when I dont even know waht I am looking for, not to mention I can't access the internet through browsers, as chome/ium gives me that "oh no jack!" or whatever window, and firefox just says it crashed and wont open | 06:52 |
| idfbfg | I meant :) , sorry if my wording sounded bad | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: if you see any red, the ram is bad | 06:52 |
| Andy2113 | red where? | 06:53 |
| Andy2113 | red numbers? | 06:53 |
| Andy2113 | red bars | 06:53 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: stop | 06:53 |
| Andy2113 | red %? | 06:53 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: run the memtest option, if there are any problems red warnings will appear | 06:53 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: run memtest for 24 hours | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: in the bottom right section of the screen | 06:53 |
| idfbfg | I've had Firefox problems where it will not open, then I wait for the wondow to go away and try to open firefox again which then opens | 06:53 |
| Andy2113 | ikonia, thank you for the suggestion, however this is my only way to communicate with my family back home. If I run a mem test for 24 hours I'lll be incommunicated for at least one day + the time it takes me figure out what the warnings are/if I should just format or upgrade. | 06:55 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: ok what do you want us to do | 06:55 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: you have a machine that won't work so you can't use it, you won't run the diag tools to fix it even though your machine doesn't work | 06:55 |

| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: a few hours will do. If the hardware is bad, a clean install won't do much | 06:56 |
| * CFHowlett thinks I'm too far away to drive to his house to fix... | 06:56 | |
| Stryker | hey, I cant boot sdb1. What's my problem? here's all the info you need: http://pastebin.com/SpDQVR2S | 06:56 |
| ikonia | Stryker: that looks like some sort of "fix grub" tool output | 06:57 |
| ponrajuganesh | whether could we do the date arithematic in bash | 06:57 |
| ponrajuganesh | ? | 06:57 |
| Andy2113 | ActionParsnip, and if I don't see any red? Can I just do a fresh install? | 06:57 |
| Stryker | ikonia it's made by someone on sourceforge | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ponrajuganesh: i'd ask in #bash | 06:57 |
| Andy2113 | I mean, I'd like to give that a try before running a memtest for a couple of hours | 06:57 |
| ikonia | Stryker: what's the actual problem/error | 06:57 |
| ponrajuganesh | fine ActionParsnip | 06:58 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: tell you what, just do a clean install now if that's what you want to do | 06:58 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: you seem keen to do it, so just do it | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: sure. I'd clean install Precise but Oneiric is officially the latest stable | 06:58 |
| Andy2113 | ikonia, that was my initial plan. Stop being such a smart-alecky ass | 06:58 |
| parto_ | Yeah. Just do a clean install. | 06:59 |
| Stryker | ikonia, i can't boot sdb1, my windows drive. All I get is a blank screen | 06:59 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: I'm not, you want to clean install, so clean install, what's the problem | 06:59 |
| Andy2113 | I'd rather get help from ActionParsnip, thank you | 06:59 |
| ActionParsnip | I've given my recommendation.... | 07:00 |
| Andy2113 | yes, I just need the terminal command to try and see if maybe if fixes, if not, I'll try and watch some videos on youtube to see what I'm trying to look for in a memtest | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: hope its not ram bit you'll need to test | 07:01 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: it won't | 07:01 |
| ikonia | Andy2113: upgrading won't fix it | 07:01 |
| parto_ | Hey guys, has the name for ubuntu 12.10 been released..? | 07:01 |
| CFHowlett | parto_ precise pangolin | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: use google images. Some will have red, some won't. Its not hard | 07:02 |
| CFHowlett | parto_ whhops never mind | 07:02 |
| Andy2113 | I can't access a browser | 07:02 |
| Andy2113 | that's the reason I am asking here | 07:02 |
| parto_ | CFHowlett thats 12.04 | 07:02 |
| Andy2113 | otherwise, I'd have checked on St. Google | 07:02 |
| CFHowlett | parto_ yes, thus the nevermind I posted. Brain in USA, body in Beijing. Sorry. | 07:03 |
| Andy2113 | I have three browsers installed, none of which will work | 07:03 |

| coolpro | I'm having problem with Disk Usage. I got messaged and my hard disk is almost full. I was shocked because I installed Ubuntu a few days ago and haven't downloaded anything much. I managed to find out that there were some huge (from 8 to 11 GB) log files in /var/log/ which I deleted. But the disk usage analizer still is saying that only ~300 MBs remains on my hard disk. | 07:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: run it. Its obvious what is happening | 07:04 |
| Andy2113 | ok, so I'll run it. What would be the obvious fix for it? | 07:04 |
| parto_ | coolpro How much space did you give your ubuntu partition? | 07:05 |
| CFHowlett | coolpro sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove will clear out downloaded and saved .debs | 07:05 |
| Wolfsherz | Andy2113, if it finds errors, replace the ram. | 07:05 |
| Andy2113 | We now know that my computer has a memory crapage. Do I need to buy new parts, if so, which ones? | 07:05 |
| Andy2113 | oh ok. Just new ram? | 07:05 |
| Andy2113 | not like a HDD or anything? | 07:05 |
| Wolfsherz | Andy2113, memtest is checking the ram... so, when memtest finds errors it is the ram for sure. | 07:06 |
| coolpro | parto_ I have 40 GB hard disk, so i have given it all. | 07:06 |
| Andy2113 | ok, might as well | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: you'll need to systematically remove ram til you identify the bad stick | 07:06 |
| Andy2113 | thanks guys | 07:06 |
| ainalavi | hi guys ! i have problem with canon lbp 6000 , how can i run it in ubuntu 12.04 | 07:06 |
| Stryker | ikonia, i can't boot sdb1, my windows drive. All I get is a blank screen | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy2113: obviously remove ram with the system off | 07:07 |
| Stryker | hey, I cant boot sdb1. What's my problem? here's all the info you need: http://pastebin.com/SpDQVR2S | 07:07 |
| ikonia | Stryker: Stryker do you believe it's booting the right partition | 07:07 |
| Stryker | it is | 07:07 |
| CFHowlett | ainalavi ask in #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 help | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ainalavi: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support | 07:07 |
| ikonia | Stryker: that patebin doesn't really show much of value, more so as you've got such an over the top dual boot setup with grub 2 | 07:07 |
| Stryker | more like sentuple boot | 07:08 |
| ikonia | Stryker: ok, so if it's booting the right partition, but all you are getting is a blank screen, that suggests the windows install has a problem of some sort, or grub is not passing the right boot information | 07:08 |
| Stryker | yeah | 07:08 |
| parto_ | coolpro Install ubuntu-tweak (just google installation procedure), then go to package cleaner. Cleans out your system for you. | 07:08 |
| ikonia | Stryker: I'd suggest (and this is just a suggestion) that you have conflicting grub installs (eg: grub from one linux install is overwriting the grub from another install) and the windows partition isn't actually setup properly to boot | 07:08 |
| Stryker | i have reason to believe that grub knocked the mbr off or something so i used testdisk. I suppose testdisk screwedup | 07:08 |
| ikonia | Stryker: that is just a suggestion, but it's not uncommon in the setup you have | 07:08 |
| ikonia | Stryker: the simple soloution for me would be to use windows to re-apply the windows MBR, test it, confirm it working, then re-apply 1 grub2 setup | 07:09 |
| ActionParsnip | parto_: bleachbit is an official package and does the same... | 07:09 |
| Stryker | it happened after I moved the ntfs partiton | 07:09 |
| ikonia | Stryker: there we go then, I suggest you follow my suggestion | 07:09 |
| Stryker | what's the best way of rebuilding the mbr without windows set up disk | 07:09 |
| ikonia | Stryker: use the windows setup disk | 07:10 |
| Stryker | i don't have it | 07:10 |
| ikonia | Stryker: get one | 07:10 |

| qfr | Hello, I don't have Ubuntu but I'm trying to help somebody set up Mono's CLI debugging environment. From what I've gathered the Ubuntu package for this is called "mono-debugger". He's on 11.10. It says "no installation candidates" when he tries to apt-get install mono-debugger. I found this on Google http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/pm/mono-debugger does it suggest that this package isn't for Oneiric? | 07:14 |
| auronandace | Stryker: ask in ##windows | 07:14 |
| ikonia | Stryker: you can't boot into windows to get to the windows install to use any of the microsoft tool, therefore the correct way is to use the install media. | 07:14 |
| qfr | apt-file search "/mdb.exe" has zero hits, too | 07:14 |
| Stryker | nobody's answering in ##windows | 07:14 |
| CFHowlett | Stryker windows forums are available | 07:15 |
| ikonia | Stryker: you've not asked a sensible question in ##windows the question is "how do I re-apply the Microsoft boot loader to the MBR of my disk, without access to Windows or any install media" | 07:15 |

| parto_ | coolpro That's weird. The total disk space used according to / is 5.8GB. The total is 39. The difference can't be 2.3 GB. Let me check it up for you. | 07:19 |
| coolpro | ok, thank you. | 07:19 |

| Zenger | or p or something | 07:35 |
| Zenger | everything else is fine , compiled the zen-coding, everything is ok ;) | 07:36 |
| Zenger | just this problem ;) | 07:36 |
| BigNuke | Zenger: wouldn't that question fit mor into #geany? | 07:36 |
| Zenger | BigNuke: I'm sorry, I didn't knew there is a channel for that :), thanks | 07:37 |
| BigNuke | i didn't know either - i just joined it Zenger ;) and you are welcome | 07:38 |
| Zenger | BigNuke: I would have /list it but , I'm in the webchat and doing a full /list would lag :D | 07:39 |

| keith_linux123 | well, my problem is I can't get it to run in a ubuntu host | 07:52 |

| paulus68 | Zenger: what about notepad++ | 07:53 |
| aplund | can anyone point me in the right direction to install binutils for EFI on Ubuntu? | 07:54 |
| corewillem | hello | 07:54 |
| aplund | binutils-multiarch doesn't seem to support it | 07:54 |
| corewillem | is it possible to make a shoutcast server by yourself | 07:54 |
| corewillem | i have a server here | 07:54 |
| sx_usr__ | paulus68, i don't think notepa++ has support for Ubuntu | 07:54 |
| corewillem | that i can use fot it | 07:54 |
| corewillem | for | 07:54 |
| sx_usr__ | paulus68, unless u run it with WINE | 07:54 |
| Zenger | paulus68: I don't want to emulate it with wine. I'm searching a native software, in Windows notepad++ is pure awesomeness :) | 07:55 |
| sx_usr__ | Zenger, im using notepad++ 6.1 under WINE without any problem... | 07:55 |
| aplund | wine doesn't emulate instructions | 07:55 |
| aplund | it is a layer for winapi compatability | 07:56 |
| aplund | so in that sense... it is native. | 07:56 |
| scientes | it only works on x86 | 07:56 |
| scientes | (generally) | 07:56 |
| sx_usr__ | scientes, what is works on x86? | 07:56 |
| Zenger | aplund: that doesn't change the fact that's not native and it runs thru wine | 07:56 |
| scientes | sx_usr__, wine | 07:56 |
| sx_usr__ | scientes, im on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit | 07:57 |
| aplund | Zenger: if you feel that calling winapi functions isn't native... then nothing really is native. | 07:57 |
| sx_usr__ | scientes, how do u explain notepad++ works on me? | 07:57 |
| scientes | sx_usr__, thats x86 64-bit extention, but it runs in 32-bit mode | 07:57 |
| sx_usr__ | scientes, u mean notepad++ 6.1 is x86 binary? | 07:57 |
| scientes | sx_usr__, indeed | 07:57 |
| sx_usr__ | scientes, okie, make sense... | 07:57 |
| Zenger | aplund: well , it's not that, I just don't like using software thru wine, I'm more comfortable with native software then thru wine | 07:57 |
| Zenger | by the way, Scite is working on linux, should give that a try | 07:58 |
| sx_usr__ | Zenger, then u will never get what ever u want... | 07:58 |
| scientes | wine provides support for the PCOFF binary format, and for the win32 api | 07:58 |
| aplund | Zenger: if you have a winapi binary blob... then you have no choice. | 07:58 |
| Zenger | besiedes why bother use notepad++ when it's built on Scite engine and I could use native Scite | 07:58 |
| scientes | Zenger, in general stick to native GNU/Linux apps | 07:58 |
| scientes | wine is for binary blogs where you dont have a choice | 07:58 |

| scientes | but i really only know how wikipedia does it sw | 07:59 |
| aplund | (or debian for that matter). | 07:59 |
| sx_usr__ | Zenger, one good reason why i use notepad++ is because im used to come from windows...lol | 07:59 |
| sx_usr__ | Zenger, so im already so used to notepad++ | 08:00 |
| Zenger | scientes: I think it's better to use native gnu/gpl software :) | 08:00 |
| sw | scientes: damn, I've been looking for hours ... | 08:00 |
| scientes | sx_usr__, well you could port it to winelib/mingw | 08:00 |
| sx_usr__ | Zenger, so moving to ubuntu, i feel i am still connected to notepad++ :D lol | 08:00 |
| Zenger | sx_usr__: I'm a web developer for many years now, I'm used to port my apps from linux to windows and back. | 08:00 |
| scientes | sx_usr__, but gedit is very good | 08:00 |
| Zenger | if they ever add that one thing that bothers me in geany | 08:00 |
| sx_usr__ | scientes, gedit can't give me the search capilities that notepad++ has | 08:00 |
| scientes | sx_usr__, but its totally possible to port notepad++ to be completely free software and not depend on any non-free software, even running with wine | 08:01 |
| Zenger | I'd be the happiest men in the world, I would even install all that gtk libs in windows just to use geany :) | 08:01 |
| scientes | sx_usr__, gedit has regexp searching | 08:01 |
| Zenger | sx_usr__: believe me geany can :) except 1 little thing :D , matching tags ;D | 08:01 |
| sx_usr__ | scientes, yes, agreed, but the search results window doesn't match with notepad++ | 08:01 |
| scientes | sx_usr__, but yes, a friend of mine uses another program to do regexps with multiple files (instead of just using grep like i do) | 08:01 |
| Zenger | I'm gonna try komodo :) | 08:01 |
| scientes | sx_usr__, it would be cool it you ported it to winlib | 08:01 |

| mrintegr1ty | aplund: ah i see, so ubuntu binutils comes without the required patches / support for efi? | 08:07 |
| aplund | mrintegr1ty: I hope not. But that might be the case. | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | mrintegr1ty: What are you trying to accomplis? | 08:08 |
| mrintegr1ty | aplund: it doesn't seem like it does unfortunately | 08:09 |
| paulus68 | Zenger: what about Scite? | 08:09 |
| aplund | damm. | 08:09 |
| mrintegr1ty | aplund: in which case you will have to rebuild the package and include efi support, hopefully it's included in the debian src package but just not enabled | 08:09 |
| mrintegr1ty | Jordan_U: helping aplund as best i can | 08:09 |
| Zenger | paulus68: It's the engine upon which notepad++ was build, I will give it a try later , now I'm giving Komodo a try ) | 08:09 |
| aplund | mrintegr1ty: Yeah. Just what I wanted to avoid. | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | aplund: What are you trying to accomplish? | 08:10 |
| aplund | Jordan_U: efi-app-* support in binutils | 08:10 |
| mrintegr1ty | aplund: incase you don't already know howto rebuild deb packages: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rebuilding-ubuntu-debian-linux-binary-package/ <-- seems like a througho howto | 08:10 |
| Zenger | thanks for your help thou, bye | 08:11 |
| mrintegr1ty | aplund: not too much work | 08:11 |
| Jordan_U | aplund: I'm not sure what grub uses, but grub-efi builds fine (and packages are provided in the standard repositories) in Ubuntu. | 08:11 |
| mrintegr1ty | Jordan_U: he is not looking for grub support | 08:11 |
| aplund | Jordan_U: I actually really want it to inspect built EFI files. But yeah. dunno. | 08:11 |
| mrintegr1ty | aplund: is it a one off thing? horrible work around would be boot a distro that has that support built in as a vm to do what you need | 08:12 |
| mrintegr1ty | aplund: rebuilding the package would be quicker | 08:12 |
| aplund | err yeah. I'll try building the package first | 08:13 |

| aplund | mrintegr1ty: i.e the ones in /usr/share/dpkg/archtable | 08:26 |
| aplund | scientes: Really? | 08:26 |

| mrintegr1ty | "Multiarch is the term being used to refer to the capability of a system to install and run applications of multiple different binary targets on the same system" | 08:27 |
| scientes | ^^that | 08:27 |
| mrintegr1ty | http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch | 08:27 |
| aplund | sure | 08:27 |
| scientes | no not that | 08:27 |
| aplund | oh? | 08:27 |
| scientes | multiarch in binutils-multiarch is the GNU definition of multiarch | 08:27 |
| mrintegr1ty | ah | 08:28 |
| scientes | which it completely differn't from debian's multiarch | 08:28 |
| === Freeaqingme_ is now known as Freeaqingme | ||
| scientes | multiarch in GNU is like sse2, mmx, ssse3 | 08:28 |
| aplund | well the debian/rules file only configures it for archs which are targeted for in debian and a few extra | 08:28 |
| scientes | and similar for MIPS, etc | 08:28 |
| aplund | but not efi-app* | 08:29 |
| scientes | http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html | 08:29 |
| scientes | search for "enable-targets" | 08:29 |
| scientes | for a description of what multiarch means for binutils | 08:29 |
| aplund | well.. I don't know about this sublety, but it isn't helping me solve the issue. getting it to compile will | 08:31 |
| scientes | no, just remember that debian multiarch is totally utterly unconnected to gcc/binutils multiarch | 08:32 |
| scientes | i was confused by this before | 08:32 |
| scientes | aplund, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 08:33 |
| aplund | scientes: is there a binutils package with efi-app support? | 08:33 |
| scientes | aplund, i don't honestly know | 08:34 |
| aplund | k. | 08:34 |
| scientes | but considering that linux is about the only software that runs on EFI | 08:34 |
| scientes | i wouldn't imagine much support | 08:34 |
| === lonewolf is now known as Guest3316 | ||
| scientes | even freebsd wont run on it | 08:34 |
| scientes | and EFI is horrible anyways | 08:34 |
| scientes | it uses local time for the RTC | 08:34 |
| scientes | which is complete madness | 08:34 |
| scientes | EFI should be taken out to pasture and shot | 08:35 |
| aplund | apple don't seem to think so | 08:35 |
| scientes | thats cause they are in the money bag with intel | 08:35 |
| scientes | and EFI's is intels little boy | 08:35 |
| scientes | although funnily even thought its intel, it just rubber stamps a bunch of windows stuff | 08:36 |

| === root is now known as Guest98120 | ||
| scientes | not being an expert seems like you should use qemu aplund | 08:39 |
| aplund | ?!?! I just want to disassemble it, not emulate it. | 08:40 |
| mrintegr1ty | aplund: you still have my suggestion of using a vm with an os that does support it | 08:40 |
| scientes | aplund, you could run it in qemu with tianocore and coreboot | 08:43 |
| scientes | well, it would actually run in kvm, they are merged... | 08:43 |

| almoxarife | i have three ppa's installed for kubuntu, plain kubuntu, backport and beta, am i defeating the purpose by having both beta and backport? | 09:01 |
| CFHowlett | almoxarife My vote is yes, you're self-abusing | 09:04 |
| aplund | hmm.. seems they changed it to PEI targets | 09:04 |
| almoxarife | CFHowlett: that settles it then, better self abuse | 09:04 |
| GirlyGirl_ | almoxarife: kubuntu-ppa provides updates to current kde series of the ubuntu version e.g if natty comes with 4.7.2 in kubuntu-ppa you get updates till 4.7.4, in kubuntu-backports you get 4.8 series and in kubuntu-beta you get well pre-releases | 09:06 |

| ahhughes_ | why do application context menu's (ie. File, About, Options, Preferences, Help) all come up at the top of the screen rather than the traditional location, the window title bar in unity?

| Inswins | I'm using ubuntu server and install it using USB Stick and I do want to make diskless server. But the problem is, when installing the server they need DHCP and iscsi Target. So, I make it default just now. Now, the main point is, how can I use the server and my client can run windows xp booting using LAN Network? | 09:19 |
| sacarlson | Inswins: I know how to setu pxe for linux , for windows pxe you might try some place else like #windows | 09:21 |
| Inswins | sacarlson: Okay, if I'm using PXE for linux, how about the ISO? I want my client booting from the Windows ISO that I make on the ubuntu server. | 09:23 |

| antonio_ | Nikez: tel | 09:27 |
| Nikez | I've done it countless times - However I have never encountered this problem. | 09:27 |
| Nikez | My setup: | 09:27 |
| Nikez | Disc 1 = SSD (120 GB) - Windows 7 | 09:28 |
| Nikez | Disc 2 = HDD (500 GB) Contains files, splitted into two different partitions. One of the size 350 gb and the other one in 150 gb | 09:28 |
| amitz | how to install java5 in ubuntu 10.04. the method of using jaunty repository, is there any living jaunty repository now? | 09:28 |
| Nikez | I want to install Ubuntu to the 150 gb which is partitioned correctly (ext 4, primary) | 09:29 |
| Nikez | IT says the installation is correctly done - However When I reboot GRUB is nowhere to be found. | 09:29 |
| fidel | amitz: isnt it available in the default apt sources? | 09:30 |
| fidel | amitz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/allpackages | 09:30 |
| sacarlson | Nikez: you must have installed your grub2 mbr on the wrong disk, you should have installed it to /dev/sda | 09:31 |
| Nikez | I've done that | 09:31 |
| Nikez | 3 times | 09:31 |
| Nikez | atleast. | 09:31 |
| Nikez | I even tried installing it on the tiny partition called Windows Loader | 09:32 |
| Nikez | No joy. | 09:32 |

| Bender_ | Hello, I have a little problem with the audio. The sound is somehow noisy like metallic when using VLC to play a movie, and also when using skype. After using skype a bit it returns normal, but in VLC it always is noisy, kinda robotic. Can you help me? | 09:34 |
| Nikez | Shouldnt I see that theres 100m b + 119.9 GB on disc 0 ? | 09:34 |
| Nikez | sacarlson, How would I move the MBR?f | 09:35 |
| sacarlson | Bender_: if you want to get fancy you can rought your sound through filters with jackd and ladspa | 09:35 |
| sacarlson | Nikez: you don't move it just install it to /dev/sdb | 09:36 |
| Nikez | You mean through Ubuntu? | 09:36 |
| sacarlson | Nikez: yes live boot | 09:36 |
| Nikez | I'll try again - I Think I did that yesterday. Thanks. | 09:37 |
| sacarlson | !grub2 | nikez | 09:37 |
| ubottu | nikez: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 09:37 |
| Nikez | Be right back . | 09:37 |
| sacarlson | Nikez: if you already installed it to /dev/sdb then try change the boot sequence in bios | 09:37 |
| Bender_ | sacarlson, no I just want my audio output to work normally, now it's faulty and I can't use skype as soon as opened: I have to make several test call to make the noise disappear. Also the VLC has the same problem, other mediaplayerd doesn't. | 09:38 |
| amitz | fidel: it has a virtual ppackage ffor java5, but not the actual package. | 09:38 |
| sacarlson | Bender_: I don't know why one player would sound different than the other , maybe try to find the differences in them. maybe between alsa and pulseaudio? | 09:39 |
| fidel | amitz: not sitting in front of a 10.04 box right now - but for me it looks like default-jre provides the virtual java5-runtime again. or am i wrong? | 09:40 |
| sacarlson | Bender_: some software has a choice like I think skype has you can pick what sound device it uses in options | 09:40 |
| Bender_ | sacarlson, I'm not so good in linux, maybe you are right but don't know how to face it. Anyway I guess it's my audio card because I have this problem since 10.04 and now I''m with 12.04. I have an old SBLive!/Value card. Maybe is not so compatible with some libraries? | 09:41 |
| sacarlson | Bender_: I think sblive is one of the best supported sound cards | 09:42 |

| FerkSwe | Hello there fellows! I just recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my MacBook 7.1. It's running rather smooth but I seem to have a couple of issues, the first one being the touchpad feeling glitchy and the other one my graphics seem to not work properly in some games (Minecraft). Does anyone have experience with installing and running Ubuntu on Mac? | 11:13 |

| xskydevilx | For everyone: Does your Flash player "lock" when you try to choose Settings? | 12:49 |
| Atlantic777 | panset: in the bridge mode you are virtually attached directly to the router as the host machine is too. | 12:50 |
| xskydevilx | Or is it maybe that I have to update the plugin? I've got 11.2.202.228. | 12:50 |

| tdn | jrib, yeah, why is that? | 13:02 |
| jrib | tdn: space is precious on the cd and aptitude duplicates apt-get functionality I guess | 13:02 |
| tdn | dibblego, yes, in Kubuntu there is a desktop effect for that. | 13:02 |
| tdn | jrib, ok. | 13:03 |
| dibblego | tdn: in ubuntu? | 13:03 |
| tdn | dibblego, no, in Kubuntu. (KDE) | 13:03 |

| tdn | dibblego, you can apt-get install kubuntu-desktop in Ubuntu to get the same functionality. | 13:03 |

| loganrun | Pici, what is the Ubuntu way of doing it | 13:42 |
| geekbri | matmats: well for some reason your OS cannot see the drive, I would start with very basic steps... make sure all the cables are plugged in fully | 13:42 |
| Pici | loganrun: Using upstart. chkconfig is a redhatism. | 13:42 |
| geekbri | matmats: then after you've ensured its connected ok, i would try to work from that. | 13:42 |

| sw | !rootirc | Salaria | 13:46 |
| ubottu | Salaria: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 13:46 |
| sw | Salaria: that's why ^ | 13:46 |
| loganrun | Xtreme: Pici is saying it is better to use upstart | 13:46 |
| loganrun | Pici, can you explain to Xtreme how to use upstart | 13:47 |
| Salaria | oh | 13:47 |
| bazhang | kubanc, should be check the hcl and ubuntuforums with that as a search term | 13:47 |
| Riba11223 | info coreurils 'ls invocation' helps. | 13:47 |

| ubottu | kubanc: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 13:47 |
| geekbri | Salaria: Why would you IRC as root? the software certainly doesn't need the elevated privileges. You are just giving people an opportunity to do something bad to your computer. | 13:47 |
| sw | Salaria: for the reasons listed in what ubottu told you - please ask any further questions in #freenode as this is Ubuntu support, like bazhang said | 13:48 |

| bazhang | anathema__, very much so | 14:05 |
| geekbri | mistergibson: well uname -m should let you know if its 64 bit or not I suppose. | 14:05 |
| anathema__ | bazhang, thanks I thought that unity etc was heavy for them | 14:05 |
| geekbri | mistergibson: better yet, you can check out /proc/cpuinfo | 14:06 |
| mistergibson | geekbri: yes, I know how to see if it is 64 bit or not, but it really isn't that simple | 14:06 |
| Redi | Thank to Unity Ubuntu is now useable everywhere ;) | 14:06 |
| mistergibson | geekbri: that only profiles the cpu, not the kernel's mode of use of its features | 14:06 |
| mistergibson | geekbri: I have resorted to culling the data from the kernel's config file | 14:06 |
| mistergibson | geekbri: it really seems silly that I have to do all that to get a straight answer | 14:07 |
| geekbri | mistergibson: its a bit of a pain yes. I believe most kernels are tagged with -pae if they have it enabled. | 14:07 |
| mistergibson | geekbri: yeah, I just think it a bit sloppy design-wise NOT to pass those critical bits of info up the chain where it can be calculated against easily. | 14:08 |
| mistergibson | geekbri: you know how many f'n places the kernel .config file *could* be located across all the distros ... urk-some | 14:09 |
| geekbri | mistergibson: its certainly not ideal. Those are the one ways I really know how to check for it unfortunately. If a process can be PAE enabled, and if its compiled into the kernel, as you said, are two different things to figure out. | 14:09 |
| lee | hello all. quick question - I have an ubuntu 8.04 machine that's a bit broken at the moment, I don't want mail to continue to be delivered to it. how do I temporarily prevent postfix from loading on boot? | 14:09 |
| mistergibson | geekbri: well, the app should not really care PAE or not - except in its theoretical memory footprint size | 14:10 |
| === whiteops is now known as toxboi | ||
| mneptok | mistergibson: uname -r will tell you if RAE is enabled in the kernel | 14:11 |
| geekbri | lee: I like to use sysv-rc-conf (which you'd have to install), or you could use update-rc.d to do something like updated-rc.d -f postfix remove (although then you'd have to add it again when you want it back) | 14:11 |

| mistergibson | mneptok: right, but I'm writing for nearly *all* distros | 14:16 |
| geekbri | sounds like youre gonna have a big case statement on your hands :) | 14:16 |
| mneptok | mistergibson: very few distros do eberything the exact same way. | 14:16 |

| Namib | Hi everyone, I'm a brand new Xubuntu user! Yesterday I downloaded Xubuntu 11.10 on CD and I've installed it alongside Windows XP. So far so good, it starts and works well. The problem is that when I turn on\restart the pc, it does not make me choose which OS load, but it loads Xubuntu automatically. Where am I wrong? How can I fix it? | 15:14 |
| storyteller | @bean: well, yes :D , can we tweak it so? | 15:15 |
| JosephHarrietha | Namib, have you tried running the command "sudo update-grub" | 15:15 |
| Namib | yes | 15:16 |
| xangua | Namib: grub does not load¿ are you sure that you installed alongside¿ | 15:16 |
| loganrun | does anyone know if there is a ubuntu package for kile 2.1.1. I am not sure where I wouls search for this. the current version that I have installed from the default repositories is 2.1.0 | 15:16 |
| Namib | no i'm not | 15:16 |
| loganrun | being somewhat new to ubuntu, an am not sure where to look | 15:16 |
| JosephHarrietha | Namib, Hmm, "cd /etc/grub.d/ && ls" Is there a file called os-prober and is it green? | 15:16 |
| brianm | anyone have any idea what happened with openjdk on 11.10 and 12.04 in last week? | 15:17 |
| brianm | neither will install, both very upset about unmet deps | 15:17 |
| Namib | yes | 15:17 |
| Namib | it's green | 15:17 |
| Pici | brianm: If you didn't get an answer in #ubuntu+1, #ubuntu-server would be the other place to try. #ubuntu itself still does not support 12.04 yet. | 15:18 |
| loganrun | are there development repositories or something that would have kile 2.1.1 | 15:18 |
| faweideniu | i will install 12.04 | 15:18 |
| Pici | loganrun: I don't see kile 2.1.1 in any Ubuntu repositories (for any release) nor in debian. | 15:18 |

| donal | in my .profile I've defined a bash function named "cronTest". I want to run this function as a cron job every minute, so I added the following to the crontab "* * * * * source $HOME/.profile; cronTest >> $HOME/cron.log 2>&1" | 15:23 |
| JosephHarrietha | namib Okay, it should be displaying it. It knows that windows is there. Can you put the contents of the file "/etc/default/grub" up on http://paste.ubuntu.com and then send me a link to it? | 15:24 |
| donal | but when I look in the log file I see "/bin/sh: cronTest: not found" | 15:24 |
| Pici | loganrun: hmm.. | 15:24 |
| donal | so obviously cron cannot see this function even though I source .profile before trying to execute it | 15:24 |

| Flecki | OK danke | 15:28 |
| ikonia | donal: that seems crazy to source that file every minute | 15:29 |
| donal | it's just for test purposes | 15:29 |
| ikonia | donal: also cron won't have $HOME set | 15:29 |
| donal | oh | 15:29 |
| sauevaem | pulseaudio configured for per-user sessions saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned on boot, help please | 15:29 |
| donal | can I do ~/.profile ? | 15:29 |
| JosephHarrietha | $home only applies to user accounts. Cron runs as a user without a home directory | 15:29 |
| Namib | It shows the message "sudo: /boot/grub/grub.cfg: command not found" | 15:30 |
| JosephHarrietha | donal so ~/.profile for cron, dosen't exist. | 15:30 |
| ikonia | donal: no | 15:30 |
| ikonia | donal: and sourcing that file every minute seems pointless | 15:30 |
| Pici | donal: Whats in .profile that you need? | 15:30 |
| JosephHarrietha | donal, Infact, ~ is just an alias for $HOME | 15:30 |
| donal | the .profile contains the definition of the cronTest function | 15:30 |
| ikonia | donal: why do you need to source it every 60 secvonds ? | 15:31 |
| JosephHarrietha | He is just doing it for testing purposes guys.... don't just on him for that haha. | 15:31 |
| donal | in reality, it will only run once or twice a day | 15:31 |
| JosephHarrietha | jump* | 15:31 |
| donal | while testing I'm running it each minute | 15:31 |
| ikonia | why ? | 15:31 |
| ikonia | donal: why does it need to be run ? | 15:31 |
| donal | thanks joseph | 15:31 |
| ikonia | donal: it's pointless the user "cron" is sourcing this file | 15:31 |
| ikonia | the user cron is not an interactive user | 15:31 |
| JosephHarrietha | Yup, ikonia is right. It has no home directory | 15:32 |
| ikonia | you're soucing something into a shell, that will be dropped the second the cron job exits | 15:32 |
| JosephHarrietha | you'll just have to replace $home with /home/yourusernamehere | 15:32 |
| JosephHarrietha | not a big change by any means. | 15:32 |
| donal | ikonia: the cron job runs a bash function, the function is in the root user's .profile, so it needs to source this file in order to know about the function | 15:32 |
| ikonia | JosephHarrietha: that won't work as the shell that cron is running will exist and drop the functions | 15:32 |
| ikonia | donal: sorry that makes no sense | 15:32 |
| kalxas | hi all, any packager around? | 15:32 |
| stopostit21 | test | 15:33 |

| Tconatech | im having an issue with my Meerkat install | 15:33 |
| stopostit21 | hi! | 15:33 |
| ikonia | donal: as soon as that cron job exits the user's shell will drop it | 15:33 |
| JosephHarrietha | ikonia, Hmm, I didn't know that one. I've only used cron one, on a debian repository to add any deb's in a certain directory once a day. | 15:33 |
| ikonia | JosephHarrietha: think about it, the cronjob launches a shell, does what it needs to do, then closes the shell as it's done | 15:33 |

| Artemis3 | tehowe, in a normal running system you would simply apt-get remove linux-imageblahblah... i guess you could simply delete some, ignore booting from them until you get a working system to do update-grub | 15:53 |
| Artemis3 | tehowe, as long as you keep the last one that worked and the new one, the others are waste imo | 15:54 |
| plustax | xangua, here check this out http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/Screenshot.png | 15:54 |

| quicknet2 | ubuttu what will i do about the address help have tried to install ic500 lightwave webcam via cheese and it not working | 15:55 |
| Artemis3 | tehowe, if you can apt-get remove em do so, it will run update-grub for you | 15:55 |
| xangua | plustax: do you have another package manager open¿ as the message asks¿ | 15:55 |
| plustax | I dont believe so | 15:56 |

| tehowe | Artemis3: Ok thanks. That's a gotcha for the default LUKS installation I guess... boot partition fills up after (counts) 7 kernel upgrades | 15:56 |

| JosephHarrietha | Namib, Okay, well at this point... after seeing update grub detect it and your default/grub is okay. And you showed that grub.cfg exists in /boot/grub .... I'd say its safe to reboot and try it | 16:05 |

| usr13 | realus: Depends on what GUI you are using. Only way I know is to just go around and kill each one individually. Some GUI interfaces have options to save session or not save session. If you have option to not save session, close all apps and save session and then in the next session tell it to not save session from then on and you will start with empty session no matter how many apps are open when you logout or shut down or restart. | 16:43 |

| Artemis3 | Namib, you can also try using nano instead of gedit | 16:48 |
| sacarlson | saurabh: that gets it down to t 2,940,000 results | 16:48 |
| Namib | Artemis3, http://imagebin.org/207601 | 16:48 |

| Artemis3 | Namib, hit enter | 16:49 |
| Artemis3 | :) | 16:49 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, ctrl g | 16:49 |

| ehsansn | Hi I installed ubuntu 11.10 on one pc and then moved the harddisk to another computer.the problem is that mouse moves but doesnt click keyboard doesnt work either.what shall I do? | 16:50 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, use ctrl x to quit | 16:50 |
| saurabh | sacarlson, I'm a python (intermediate) programmer. I would like to though rewrite some "Mono" code into native C (GTK+). Thus, helping me learn some GTK+. | 16:50 |
| saurabh | This might help in creating faster apps. I want to rewrite some parts in native language. | 16:51 |
| sacarlson | saurabh: so gtk+ like gui stuf I like glade | 16:51 |
| === vijeshm_ is now known as vijeshm | ||
| sacarlson | saurabh: also cool glade supports python | 16:52 |
| Namib | i've read the guide but i've not saved the file yet. I don't know how, if i simple hit enter it shows "error access deined" | 16:52 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, ok then quit anyway dont save file | 16:52 |
| Namib | ok | 16:52 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, then try again this command: sudo nano /etc/default/grub | 16:52 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, you must enter your password | 16:52 |
| GirlyGirl | ehsansn: Are these both desktops? Is it a ps/2 mouse and keyboard or a special wireless bluetooth or something | 16:53 |
| ehsansn | no its usual | 16:53 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest82332 | ||
| ehsansn | actually they are common mouse and keyboard | 16:53 |
| saurabh | sacarlson, awesome. Python it is! | 16:54 |

| Namib | i'm in "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" | 16:54 |
| Namib | then? | 16:54 |
| usr13 | Namib: Just hit enter and then do trl-x to exit. (Next time just Ctrl-x to exit and it'll ask if you want to save your work.) | 16:54 |
| ehsansn | ?!?!?! | 16:54 |
| sacarlson | saurabh: ya python is cool I've done some but I prefer ruby | 16:54 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, edit line again, then ctrl x | 16:54 |
| usr13 | Namib: Typo: Ctrl-x not trl-x | 16:54 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, it will ask you if you want to save file | 16:54 |
| sacarlson | saurabh: and glade supports ruby also | 16:54 |
| GirlyGirl | ehsansn: Try creating a new user and see if it works there | 16:55 |
| ehsansn | it doesnt | 16:55 |
| saurabh | sacarlson, how do I learn about python bindings for gnome-shell like stuff? Or I stick with js for that? | 16:56 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest19445 | ||

| Artemis3 | Namib, save file | 16:56 |
| usr13 | Namib: y | 16:56 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, do it | 16:56 |
| Metaphysicist | I'm trying to force a mount point based off of PCI address, so that way when I plug a hard drive in to a certain port I can always reliably know where that hard drive is within the system. How would I go about making a udev rule to automount a specific drive at a specific point based off of the PCI address that it's located at? Or can anyone point me in the right direction? | 16:56 |
| usr13 | Namib: (y for yes) | 16:56 |
| sacarlson | saurabh: I don't know i you need any binding to gnome shell, your app is only inside your windwo | 16:56 |
| sacarlson | window | 16:57 |
| Artemis3 | usr13, its s in italian ;) | 16:57 |

| d3admau5 | could somebody help me out with how to reinstall samba. I had it installed, messed something up, so had to uninstall it. Now when i install it doesn't install all the files and directories. and when i type samba in terminal it says it's not installed, yet when i sudo apt get it says it is installed | 16:57 |
| saurabh | pyGTk that's it? May be I can research about shell notifications later. | 16:58 |
| Namib | but i'm in the precedent situation it asks me the name of the file in which save | 16:58 |
| sacarlson | Metaphysicist: I think we have that it's call uuid | 16:58 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, hit enter? | 16:58 |
| Namib | ok | 16:58 |
| Namib | done | 16:58 |
| loganrun | I want to launch two instances of the program kile, but that doesn't seem to work. is there any way around this | 16:58 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, now this command: sudo update-grub | 16:58 |
| Namib | Thank you! | 16:58 |
| Metaphysicist | sacarlson: But wont the UUID change if I put a different drive in? | 16:58 |
| usr13 | d3admau5: Usually, uninstalling and re-installing is not a good way to fix something. (May be true in the MS-Windows systems, but... not Linux). | 16:59 |
| Namib | wait a second | 16:59 |
| sacarlson | Metaphysicist: uuid is like the finger print of that disk not mater what position it's located | 16:59 |
| d3admau5 | usr13: i see the error of my ways now. | 16:59 |
| loganrun | bad ways | 16:59 |
| d3admau5 | usr13: can you provide any help? | 16:59 |
| usr13 | d3admau5: Well, not really a samba expert but I'll do what I can. | 17:00 |
| Artemis3 | sacarlson, more like partition rather than disk... | 17:00 |
| Namib | Artemis,http://paste.ubuntu.com/925142/ | 17:00 |
| loganrun | is there way way to launch two instances of a program that doesn't seem to what you to do this? | 17:00 |
| Metaphysicist | Well a bunch of different drives will be hot-swapped over time for wiping purposes, and since I need to be able to know which hard drive is located where I was hoping I could correlate the PCI address to the slot in the storage array so I can say "Port 1 is done, put new drive in, begin wiping again" | 17:00 |
| d3admau5 | usr13: i was following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html | 17:00 |
| sacarlson | Metaphysicist: when we mount a disk we expect it to have the contents we expected to still be there. so we made uuid so we move the disk but the computer still finds it | 17:00 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, that should do, try reboot. Grub menu will show until you choose | 17:01 |
| usr13 | d3admau5: Did you edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file yet? | 17:01 |
| d3admau5 | usr13: and now it doesn't install a samba file in etc | 17:01 |
| usr13 | d3admau5: Oh, reading ... | 17:01 |
| sacarlson | Metaphysicist: is your idea different? | 17:01 |
| === a is now known as Guest5189 | ||
| Namib | ok i'll try and then i'll let you know! | 17:02 |
| Guest5189 | ctrl+d dont work in ssmtp ?? | 17:02 |
| Namib | Thank you! | 17:02 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, sure no problem | 17:02 |
| usr13 | d3admau5: The instructions look pretty straight forward. Where are you running into problems? | 17:02 |
| d3admau5 | usr13: http://pastebin.com/MQpffv41 this is what happens when i sudo apt-get | 17:02 |
| === Guest67396 is now known as mfisch | ||
| sacarlson | Artemis3: oh like uuid for a partition? | 17:02 |
| === mfisch is now known as Guest76264 | ||
| d3admau5 | usr13: i just entered something wrong in the terminal and didn't know how to fix it, so being used to windows i unistalled | 17:03 |
| usr13 | d3admau5: Yep. Well, looks like it's up and running. | 17:03 |
| Metaphysicist | Maybe I'm not explaining fully. Since I'll constantly be swapping drives I want to be able to consistently point and poll the slot in the storage array for new drives, but I want the system to boot with a dedicated array slot per mounting point and it won't change. That way my program will always be able to scan a select amount of slots, I know which drive is where at all times. If I don't, I end up getting the drives re-orderi | 17:03 |
| Artemis3 | sacarlson, yes the uuid is generated with the partition, repartition and uuid changes... | 17:03 |
| d3admau5 | usr13: now i can't reinstall | 17:03 |
| Artemis3 | sacarlson, i think just reformat the same partition, and the uuid changes | 17:04 |
| d3admau5 | usr13: no samba folder in /etc though. so no /etc/samba/smb.conf to configure | 17:04 |
| Metaphysicist | I want Slot X to be MountPoint X every time. | 17:04 |
| sacarlson | Metaphysicist: and why can't uuid do that? | 17:04 |
| IboS | hi people | 17:04 |
| Metaphysicist | Because the same drive will never be in the system again, once its put in, it will be wiped, pulled out, and a new one put in its place. | 17:05 |
| IboS | i have an ssh server how to set up quotas on ram used and disk space utilisation ? | 17:05 |
| Metaphysicist | Wont the UUID change? | 17:05 |
| IboS | *disk space use | 17:05 |
| Artemis3 | Metaphysicist, yes it will change unless its a dd (clonezilla) or simmilar | 17:05 |
| Metaphysicist | I don't care about the hard drive itself, just where its located. The actual slot. | 17:05 |
| sacarlson | Metaphysicist: well you can set the uuid if the contents of the drive has the same as the one you replaced | 17:06 |
| sacarlson | Metaphysicist: the idea of uuid is so the slot make no difference | 17:06 |
| Artemis3 | Metaphysicist, use device id, they don't change very often, unless machine configuration changes | 17:06 |
| Artemis3 | Metaphysicist, there is also label id... | 17:07 |
| Artemis3 | Metaphysicist, if you care to always label your partition the same... | 17:07 |
| d3admau5 | usr13: any ideas? | 17:07 |
| usr13 | d3admau5: ls /etc/samba/smb.conf #What does that return? | 17:07 |
| d3admau5 | usr13: a blank page | 17:08 |
| sacarlson | Artemis3: yes there is label id also but grub and linux use uuid at boot to auto select no mater what location | 17:08 |
| usr13 | d3admau5: cat /etc/samba/smb.conf #What does that return? | 17:08 |
| sacarlson | Metaphysicist: you can reverse uuid it will tell you what slot it's in | 17:09 |
| d3admau5 | usr13: both returned "no such file or dirrectory" | 17:09 |
| cmcintosh | has anyone been able to get a usb based video card recognized by Xwindows, got a Toshiba laptop with built in Nvidia card and a Eclipse uvee usb video card | 17:09 |
| Artemis3 | Metaphysicist, command: blkid | 17:09 |
| usr13 | d3admau5: ps aux |grep smbd #What does that say? | 17:10 |
| sacarlson | Metaphysicist: if you made clear the difference of uuid and your idea it would make it clear | 17:10 |
| usr13 | d3admau5: ps 3425 #What does that say? | 17:11 |

| ardian | Hello I have 2 Graphic Cards on my Dell Inspiron 1 is nvidia and the other 1 is intel, by default I think Ubuntu is using my nvidia which has optimus | 17:24 |
| ardian | is there a way to disable nvidia and use Intel | 17:25 |
| sambagirl | but now when i attempt to move something to that dreictory it wont allow it. i suppose it has permissions issues? | 17:25 |
| Artemis3 | Namib, yes | 17:25 |
| sambagirl | so it's owned by root | 17:25 |
| Yaaaaaa | ardian: you can blacklist the nvidia module or uninstall the driver completely. | 17:25 |
| sambagirl | i cant recall the command for graphic gnome | 17:25 |
| DasEi | ardian: possibly bios let you choose, else can still use xorg.conf | 17:25 |
| sambagirl | i meant for root usage | 17:25 |

| Artemis3 | Namib, we can try something then | 17:26 |
| ardian | Yaaaaaa, no I haven't because there | 17:26 |
| ardian | was not something like that | 17:26 |
| DasEi | !gksudo | sambagirl | 17:26 |
| ubottu | sambagirl: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 17:27 |

| teligard2 | DasEi: Ok, so this directs the traffic to the server. Is there any form of walkthrough for setting up the necessary services, etc. and configuring the bootserver? This would appear to be a client side configuration change, which doesn't seem to match up with PXE/remote boot, as no files would be local. | 17:57 |
| Nutily | how i can now what my video card on dell inspirion 1520 is working..? | 17:58 |

| teligard2 | Or am I misunderstanding (just slap me if I'm misunderstanding, and hopefully explain the errors of my ways) | 17:58 |

| prashant_123456 | compdoc, can send mail using ssmtp | 18:02 |
| DasEi | teligard2: I'm not sure if I understand you right, if you alter the settings, it'll be permanent on the bootserver | 18:02 |

| HelenB | xangua, But I like the panel system. | 18:37 |
| Layke2 | Greta all working easier thanks. I had to keep having temrinal windows lying around. It was annoying :) | 18:37 |

| aimka | Hi | 18:37 |
| ikonia | helen from 12.04 onwards there will be no gnome2 style components | 18:37 |
| DasEi | Layke2: screen might be of interest | 18:37 |
| trism | not true, we have gnome 3 fallback in 12.04 as well | 18:37 |
| DasEi | !screen | 18:37 |
| ubottu | screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 18:37 |
| ikonia | HelenB: the sooner you accept this and find a long term replacement the easier you will find it | 18:37 |
| iksik | hello | 18:37 |
| aimka | Is it the good place to talk about the package ifenslave-2.6 in Ubuntu Precise ? | 18:38 |
| usr13 | HelenB: If you want efficiency, try xfce (apt-get install xubuntu-desktop) [just a suggestion/option] | 18:38 |
| HelenB | then until 12 is out | 18:38 |
| Layke2 | I typed screen also, it was outputting all the content back in the main window still | 18:38 |
| HelenB | I wont be changing from gnome 3 panels | 18:38 |
| wtwtwt | hello | 18:38 |
| Layke2 | I guess I could just close it and open a new one though | 18:38 |
| GirlyGirl | HelenB: Might I suggest giving a Kubuntu and Xubuntu livecd a try | 18:38 |
| wtwtwt | I am installing Ubuntu 10.04.4 on Atom. I have problem of bootup, from poweron to grub 10 secs, from grub to os around 100secs, what can I do? | 18:38 |
| DasEi | aimka: #ubuntu+1 rather | 18:38 |
| HelenB | GirlyGirl, Nope. | 18:38 |
| aimka | ok, thx ;) | 18:38 |
| iksik | i'm looking for some working macro recorder/player which can record and play mouse moves and keyboard sequence... i've tested autokey and gnee, under 11.04 - the first one crashes, and the second one, does not seems to work... any recommendations? | 18:39 |
| usr13 | HelenB: What do you mean, Nope? Why not? | 18:39 |
| HelenB | because regardless of what WM/DE I've got on my system. | 18:39 |
| HelenB | I should still get supported | 18:39 |
| ikonia | it's fine, she can use what she wants, | 18:39 |
| ikonia | HelenB: you are supported | 18:40 |
| HelenB | there is always console | 18:40 |
| HelenB | if gnome 3 can't safely remove a device. | 18:40 |
| ikonia | people are just trying to save you from a bad migration to gnome3, if you want to continue down the path you are going, that's fine | 18:40 |
| ikonia | HelenB: gnome3 can safley remove devices without issue | 18:40 |
| usr13 | ikonia: recordmydesktop - Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session | 18:40 |
| ikonia | usr13: pardon ? | 18:40 |
| HelenB | If i can't get gnome panels in ubuntu 12 | 18:40 |
| xangua | HelenB: as you were told you should have right clic and select to safetly remove | 18:40 |
| HelenB | then I'll simply switch to something like fluxbox | 18:41 |

| GirlyGirl | HelenB: I use KDE and you can set the panel settings as you like to resemble gnome 2 or in any way you want. I believe the same can be achieved with xfce. Using a different de still means you are using Ubuntu and are supported | 18:42 |
| ikonia | HelenB: it mounts it when you plug it in | 18:42 |
| usr13 | ikonia: Oh, sorry... | 18:42 |

| HelenB | and it says | 18:42 |
| HelenB | Unable to mount Helens phone | 18:42 |
| HelenB | so it hasn't been mounted. | 18:42 |
| xangua | HelenB: do you use latest iOS ¿ | 18:42 |
| ikonia | HelenB: there you go then, so that's why you can't unmount it | 18:42 |
| ikonia | HelenB: it can't mount it as I said apple device has poor support in linux | 18:43 |
| HelenB | xangua, iOS 5.1 | 18:43 |
| xangua | oneiric doesn¿t supports iOS 5 HelenB | 18:43 |
| HelenB | oh | 18:43 |
| JonLimitless | anyone know a link to the cd rom tutorial? | 18:43 |

| JonLimitless | ! disk drive | 18:43 |
| DasEi | iksik: right , the gui type, same engine | 18:43 |
| ikonia | HelenB: I wouldn't count on any apple support in any distro | 18:43 |
| JonLimitless | !diskdrive | 18:43 |
| xangua | HelenB: it might, but as always apple is gonna upgrade iOS and break support | 18:44 |
| ikonia | HelenB: any apple device that works is a bonus as apple can stop it working at any time with any ios update | 18:44 |
| GirlyGirl | HelenB: Yes ios 5.1 will work in precise ... works for me in any case | 18:44 |

| ubuntu__1 | Hi. I have a question...I just installed NVidia video drivers, and it asks me to restart to use the drivers. However, since I'm running Ubuntu from CD and I'm currently uploading 500000 files, that seems a bit of an impractical solution. Is there a way to use the video drivers without rebooting? (Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit) | 18:44 |
| Nutily | how i can now that my video card is installed corectly..? | 18:44 |
| HelenB | Apple are stupid. | 18:44 |
| HelenB | and so are all the other companies for not supporting Linux | 18:44 |
| ikonia | HelenB: I'd drop the desire for your apple device to work in linux it will not be an easy road | 18:44 |
| ikonia | HelenB: they are not stupid | 18:44 |
| xangua | HelenB: is actually a never ending story, when an ubuntu version is released it supports the current iOS version, then apple upgrade it and it no longer supports it | 18:44 |
| trism | HelenB: there is also a workaround listed in that bug by installing libimobiledevice-utils and using idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair; | 18:44 |
| JonLimitless | no dasei, my diskdrive is not reading and i need it to install some firmware, so where could i find the firmware at within the install files? | 18:44 |

| HelenB | trism, Like I said ealier | 18:45 |
| HelenB | I tried installing those packages | 18:45 |
| Artemis3 | ubuntu__1, no, if you allocated space to save changes (ie an usb stick) the changes will take effect, otherwise they will be lost. | 18:45 |

| DerMat | badblocks probably takes a while, right? | 19:20 |
| brontosaurusrex | sorin_, i never tryed, but i cant see why that wouldnt work | 19:20 |
| DasEi | matmats: for fsck it has to be unmounted, not for badblocks, first try if it's a FS-error, then examine surface of disk | 19:20 |
| DerMat | oh | 19:21 |
| Nutily | need help installing drivers for dell inspiron 1520! | 19:21 |
| DasEi | DerMat: badblocks is a time-eater, yes | 19:21 |
| sorin_ | k,thk | 19:21 |
| DerMat | hmm it says the use of fsck on mounted devices fuehrt zu schwerwiegenden schaeden | 19:22 |
| Praxi | so while googling for a solution to copy & pasting TO putty, I notice everyone recomends to use other terminals. The MAIN reason I use putty, it has an address book of sorts. | 19:22 |
| DasEi | DerMat: see above | 19:22 |
| Nutily | need help installing drivers for dell inspiron 1520 using Ubuntu 11.10! | 19:22 |
| DasEi | fsck=unmounted, badblocks=mounted | 19:23 |
| Praxi | if using ssh via regular terminal, is there anyway to get a address book? | 19:23 |
| DerMat | oh, right | 19:23 |
| DasEi | DerMat: usb-stick handy ? | 19:23 |
| parto | Nutily Have you tried additional drivers | 19:23 |
| DasEi | DerMat: or live cd ? | 19:23 |
| brontosaurusrex | Praxi, is that a windows question? | 19:23 |
| DerMat | its a hard disk | 19:23 |
| DerMat | 2 tb ext4 | 19:23 |
| Praxi | brontosaurusrex, no | 19:23 |
| Nutily | parto, for wifi car i tried this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 19:23 |
| DerMat | err and yeah | 19:24 |
| DerMat | i can get some stick | 19:24 |
| DasEi | DerMat: yes, but you are in need of booting from another medium so you can check the UNmounted hd | 19:24 |
| Praxi | the reason I use putty on UBUNTU is because it lets me save connections. I can scroll through a list and choose the one I want to SSH to. IN UBUNTU using the terminal and SSH do I have anything like that, that I'm just not aware of? | 19:24 |
| DerMat | that is not the boot device | 19:24 |
| geekbri | Praxi: You can use the .ssh/config file to setup saved connection information | 19:25 |
| brontosaurusrex | Praxi, oh, i see that putty is not only for win :) | 19:25 |
| DerMat | fsck says its not an ext2 fs | 19:25 |
| DasEi | DerMat: so a second hard drive ? well, unmount it before fsck'ing it | 19:25 |
| DerMat | which is it really is not | 19:25 |
| brontosaurusrex | Praxi, you could make aliases on other terms i guess | 19:25 |
| DerMat | its unmounted now | 19:25 |
| DerMat | can i fsck an ext4 partition? | 19:26 |
| DasEi | DerMat: sudo fdisk -l , which FS-type ? | 19:26 |
| brontosaurusrex | so say server1 is ssh myname@server1 | 19:26 |
| DerMat | ext4 | 19:26 |
| DasEi | fsck fine for extX | 19:26 |
| Nutily | need help installing drivers for dell inspiron 1520 using Ubuntu 11.10! | 19:26 |

| Ubulindy | DasEi, yes I have grub comes up, has totally chnaged tho | 20:04 |
| trism | darbe: your gsettings.compiled file was old (from march 31st) so I figured there was some error in it and we rebuilt it with that command | 20:04 |
| L3mce | you installed both of those? | 20:04 |
| Ubulindy | DasEi, can not get passed grub | 20:04 |

| Ubulindy | DasEi, cant, it wont boot anything now, just get black screen with blinking cursorr | 20:04 |
| trism | darbe: I see a bunch over overrides there, so it may have something to do with when you added those | 20:05 |
| DasEi | JonLimitless: nick, please | 20:05 |
| darbe | trism: why reinstaaling didn't fix it? | 20:05 |

| darbe | trism: can I remove extra stuff. If it is not necessary, I ma ok with them | 20:06 |

| JonLimitless | DasEi, okay thanks just give me a second. | 20:07 |
| DasEi | Ubulindy: sounds more than a generic hardwareproblem | 20:07 |
| L3mce | Nutily: I got it installed. I don't know how you would test it off our system. There may be something in desktop which mentions your restricted hardware and asks you if you want to enable it. I just try and help here while I am developing on a system that uses its own interface. I never even see the desktop. | 20:07 |
| darbe | trism: ok thanks again :) | 20:07 |

| Phrogz | URL of "all the graphic layers and APIs of Linux for noobs" is certainly acceptable as an answer. | 20:20 |

| guntbert | !gksudo | three18ti | 20:31 |
| ubottu | three18ti: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 20:31 |

| JessicaW | ssta: shouldn't that be done already during the apache install? | 20:32 |
| three18ti | guntbert, I see, so using `sudo gedit` loads the config for root instead of the config for $USER | 20:32 |
| Felishia | then what should I do to download the rightest livacodec53 for my particular ubuntu version? | 20:33 |
| ssta | JessicaW: I thought the default was otherwise. I might be wrong though... | 20:33 |
| SharkMuttleworth | Felishia: Do you know which version you're on? I can send you a link | 20:33 |
| three18ti | guntbert, so what's the difference between sudo -i and sudo su - | 20:33 |
| guntbert | three18ti: the problem is the ownership for some X-related files | 20:33 |
| SharkMuttleworth | Felishia: You can get packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libavcodec53 but the interface is a bit confusing | 20:33 |

| SharkMuttleworth | Felishia: There are links on the upper right to switch between different Ubuntu versions, such as oneiric, precise etc. | 20:33 |

| mashbro | JessicaW, ssta : do you mind a PM? | 20:36 |
| three18ti | guntbert, right!?! lol. that's the usual answer I get. I know sudo -i is "better" but never been able to understand why. sudo -s actually writes to the .bash_history of the $USER that invokes it. | 20:36 |
| SharkMuttleworth | Felishia: You could try http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/liba/libav/libavcodec53_0.7.3-0ubuntu0.11.10.1_i386.deb | 20:37 |
| drecute | JessicaW: the smf.conf file contains an example for exactly what you need | 20:38 |
| guntbert | three18ti: you asked about sudo su - , I only don't *know* because I didn't investigate myself | 20:38 |
| subdesign | hey, if you want nice abstract wallpapers check : http://devartpro.com/en/downloads | 20:38 |
| SharkMuttleworth | Felishia: You're right, it lists a few dependencies on the page http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libavcodec53 so it might complain without them. Unfortunately Ubuntu software assumes Internet Connectivity, without it's a real pain in the ass | 20:38 |

| Felishia | SharkMuttleworth... yes... you're right... but I think I have all those dependencies, last time I checked... my problem was that no install button appeared | 20:39 |

| OerHeks | Felishia, don't look for rar, it is not opensource. | 20:41 |
| three18ti | guntbert, indeed I did. and I usually get the answer "sudo -i is better because it is", it's one of those things that we just accept; I've never found a definitive answer as to "why" it is better. As an aside, I mentioned sudo -s. | 20:41 |
| JessicaW | drecute: looked through smb.conf. there's nothing there specific to mounting a windows share on a linux box with r/w permissions. | 20:42 |
| Felishia | OerHeks I just need all the basics deb files so that if I have any dependece I could look into that | 20:42 |
| drecute | JessicaW: i guess you aint using samba? | 20:42 |
| SharkMuttleworth | Felishia: There probably is some clever way to download a lot of deb's at once for offline usage. The problem is there are so many, it would be massive unless you filter it to a specific selection | 20:43 |

| SharkMuttleworth | brianp1992: How do you mean "good"? The browser should be irrelevant if flash is installed correctly. It's a separate bit of software | 20:55 |
| JessicaW | ssta: BAM. I love you for pointing out the obvious. if it had been a snake it would have bit me. it worked. thanks. | 20:55 |

| guler | dear all, having trouble with grub ............ :( | 21:02 |
| fishcooker | which kind of atom do you have | 21:02 |
| ssta | ktosiek: load is a measure of how many process are on average either "runnable" or uninterruptable. They're almost certainly waiting for disk | 21:02 |

| ktosiek | fishcooker: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N550 @ 1.50GHz | 21:02 |

| barbori4_ | nice he actually didn't break in he was trying to brute force my login | 21:30 |
| AnishS | this is completely random. but when you right click on someone in the opera chat and click Who IS. It tells you a shit load about them. Kinda weird | 21:30 |
| synrusi | ktosiek: I did. But same issue. | 21:31 |
| DerMat | why you find that weird AnishS? | 21:31 |
| ktosiek | ls /dev/mapper/ | 21:31 |
| synrusi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/925523/ | 21:31 |
| DerMat | thats irc protocol mr. sasmal | 21:32 |
| ktosiek | huh | 21:32 |
| synrusi | it says: control cryptswap1 | 21:32 |
| AnishS | dunno tells the Full Name. What rooms they are in. What server they are using, when they signed in and if they are idle | 21:32 |
| DerMat | yeah | 21:32 |
| ktosiek | synrusi: maybe you need "sudo pvscan" | 21:32 |
| DerMat | you dont really need to provide the full name in the first place tho | 21:33 |
| AnishS | ok whatever | 21:33 |
| DerMat | and the server stuff .. well, you cant hide that | 21:33 |
| synrusi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/925525/ | 21:33 |
| DerMat | i dont know the opera client, but i'm sure you can remove your last name somewhere in the options | 21:34 |
| DerMat | but youll have to enter something | 21:34 |

| ktosiek | synrusi: and still can't be mounted? | 21:35 |
| AnishS | You probably can but being a teen. i am a lazy piece of $h!t | 21:35 |
| ktosiek | synrusi: it looks to me like you are missing one partition that was part of the VolGroup | 21:35 |
| ktosiek | and I don't know if that's recoverable... you'll have to find somebody with good understanding of LVM | 21:36 |
| synrusi | Thank you very much! | 21:36 |
| synrusi | I got success now | 21:36 |
| DerMat | AnishS: you just have to decide if you want everything you say here being connected to your full name | 21:36 |
| ktosiek | synrusi: what you did? :-) | 21:36 |
| ktosiek | synrusi: gratz :-) | 21:37 |
| synrusi | Just typed what you said | 21:37 |
| AnishS | ok now i know. | 21:37 |
| synrusi | sudo mkdir /mnt/odlhome && sudo mount /dev/VolGroup/lv_home /mnt/oldhome -- this one | 21:37 |
| ktosiek | ok :-) | 21:37 |
| AnishS | another thing... what is this flood bot do | 21:37 |
| dariebi_ | Hi all, a short question, which software is good for programming in C? i need editor and compiler or something, i will starting learning c | 21:37 |
| Rud | vi + gcc | 21:38 |
| ktosiek | BTW anybody knows why Ubuntu is not automounting external LVM partitions? | 21:38 |
| dariebi_ | Rud: thx | 21:38 |
| totesmuhgoats | dariebi_: code blocks will give you everything you need in one place | 21:38 |
| ktosiek | Rud: oh you, Vi is barely usable | 21:38 |
| DerMat | AnishS: they kick flooding people i suppose | 21:38 |
| ktosiek | dariebi_: he's joking, use Vim | 21:38 |
| synrusi | ktosiek: what's strange, I see files in the terminal, but can't in the file-manager | 21:38 |
| === Guest99389 is now known as andygraybeal_ | ||
| AnishS | but what does 'Flooding mean' like if people D-Dos a site | 21:39 |
| dariebi_ | ok :-) thank you all | 21:39 |
| totesmuhgoats | dariebi_: vim is sometimes difficult for new users to adjust to. you may want to consider using something more user friendly so that you're not learning 2 things at once | 21:39 |
| totesmuhgoats | any text editor will do | 21:39 |
| ktosiek | AnishS: sending a lot of messages one by one, especially repeating a message lots of times | 21:40 |
| Rud | dariebi_: depends a bit on what you expect. the range is something between editor + compiler and everything + kitchen sink | 21:40 |
| totesmuhgoats | if you are interested in learning to use vim install the vim package and run vimtutor at the command line | 21:40 |
| ktosiek | dariebi_: for a newbe I would recommend some IDE, like Eclipse with C/C++ plugins | 21:40 |
| AnishS | ok thank you ktosiek for answering my useless questions :D | 21:40 |
| totesmuhgoats | i second what ktosiek said | 21:41 |
| barbori4_ | does anyone know of a firewall that automatically blocks bruteforce login attemps | 21:41 |
| ktosiek | AnishS: no problem, I'm not good with the hard ones :-D | 21:41 |
| dariebi_ | ok, thank you guys i will google a little bit and i will test something | 21:41 |
| totesmuhgoats | code blocks is popular with folks at school for some reason | 21:41 |
| barbori4_ | adds like the ip to a block list? | 21:41 |
| totesmuhgoats | firewall blocking login attempts? | 21:41 |
| synrusi | ktosiek: Im sorry, but do you have any idea why file-manager doesn't show files but ls does? | 21:41 |
| ktosiek | but Code::Blocks... I have only bad things to say about it | 21:41 |
| Rud | totesmuhgoats: indeed. that shows even on google trends. | 21:41 |
| barbori4_ | yeah i found people on my network are trying to brute force my ubuntu pc | 21:42 |
| ktosiek | synrusi: no clue, I barely ever use a GUI file manger | 21:42 |
| totesmuhgoats | ah, then disregard code::blocks | 21:42 |
| realus | my xchat freezes frequently | 21:42 |
| barbori4_ | and i want it to automatically place ip blocked | 21:42 |
| realus | any idea?? | 21:42 |
| AnishS | i am burning the Ubuntu DVD... what speed should i do the burning in | 21:42 |
| totesmuhgoats | i don't use an ide myself, and i am quite a c noob | 21:42 |
| ktosiek | barbori4_: if you suspect viruses just change SSH port | 21:42 |
| totesmuhgoats | I just prefer to use a compiler and an editor | 21:42 |
| barbori4_ | ah okay | 21:42 |
| barbori4_ | ktosiek | 21:43 |
| totesmuhgoats | dariebi_: have you found yourself a resource for learning? most introduction books tell you about the resources needed to get started | 21:43 |
| totesmuhgoats | they might even have a recommendation | 21:43 |
| rogst | barbori4_: you should install an Intrusion detection system.. e.g. Denyhosts | 21:43 |
| totesmuhgoats | if so it might be best to stick with that so if the book tells you to do something you can follow it directly | 21:43 |
| Rud | ktosiek: eclipse is a java development and application framework by nature. the fact that it happens to handle C is rather an accident ;-} | 21:43 |
| popo87 | s | 21:43 |
| AnishS | i am burning the Ubuntu DVD... what speed should i do the burning in | 21:43 |
| ssta | it's not even all that good at java | 21:43 |
| ktosiek | Rud: it works for me (on PCs with >=3GB of RAM) | 21:44 |
| realus | does anyone elses xchat freeze randomly ?? | 21:44 |
| totesmuhgoats | AnishS: any speed should be fine, but some people like to go with the slowest speed for their media. most burning software will throttle to that automatically if you select something like 1x | 21:44 |
| totesmuhgoats | as many discs can't do 1x | 21:44 |
| ktosiek | if you know about any good OSS IDE I'll be happy to hear about it :-) | 21:44 |
| dariebi_ | totesmuhgoats: yes i will get a c book in a few days | 21:44 |
| popo87 | how do i use ppa-purge with this ppa? deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/videolan/master-daily/ubuntu oneiric main | 21:45 |
| AnishS | ok will try 6x | 21:45 |
| synrusi | well | 21:45 |
| synrusi | I was wrong. It didn't mount | 21:45 |
| totesmuhgoats | dariebi_: here on freenode you might want to get recommendations in ##c-basic. the main c channel can be a little overwhelming for us new folks | 21:45 |
| Rud | ktosiek: there aren't any good IDEs. OSS or not... only bad and really bad ones... | 21:45 |
| synrusi | I don't see VolGroup in /dev/ | 21:45 |
| hwilde | anybody here networking genius? | 21:45 |
| ktosiek | Rud: I guess your Vim is pretty pimped up then? :-P | 21:46 |
| dariebi_ | oh cool, thx | 21:46 |
| usr13 | hwilde: What do you need? | 21:46 |
| totesmuhgoats | hwilde: ask your question and if someone can answer they will, you can also try ##networking | 21:46 |
| ssta | emacs works too (as well as vim does anyway) | 21:46 |
| CampinSam | Uh.. if I get an error, while making a file, how can I clean that up, so that I can make it again, with a different setting? would that even be needed? | 21:46 |
| Rud | ktosiek: not really. wc -l ~/.vimrc yields 162 | 21:46 |
| totesmuhgoats | i was really thinking more along the lines of gedit when i told him any editor will do | 21:46 |
| hwilde | usr13, totesmuhgoats, how can I see... why my sockets are failing? | 21:46 |
| * ktosiek doesn't like Vims bad extensibility and Emacses lack of "." command from vim | 21:47 | |
| totesmuhgoats | or kate or something | 21:47 |
| totesmuhgoats | Kraln: what does "." do in vim? | 21:47 |
| CampinSam | make as in, building from source, just too clarify. | 21:47 |
| totesmuhgoats | er ktosiek that is | 21:47 |
| usr13 | hwilde: How do you know your sockets are failing? | 21:47 |
| AnishS | if you cant see ;) | 21:47 |
| totesmuhgoats | you know i have been idling in this channel for months | 21:47 |
| totesmuhgoats | i don't think i've ever participated this much | 21:47 |
| Rud | totesmuhgoats: repeat the most recent command | 21:48 |
| ktosiek | totesmuhgoats: repeats last command, but in Vim that command often is something like "replace 5 words with this text" or "add that at the end of the line" | 21:48 |
| totesmuhgoats | ah, gotcha | 21:48 |
| hwilde | usr13, I am getting a socket exception in my code, then I see in netstat the socket goes to FIN_WAIT1 and SYN_SENT state, and the ping dies. then if I ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig eth1 up the ping comes back, the socket reconnects, and in netstat it says established again | 21:48 |
| ktosiek | Emacs commands are mostly simpler, so just making "do that last thing" for Emacs won't work | 21:48 |
| hwilde | usr13, so it's like I am crashing the entire tcp stack somehow and even my ping dies. | 21:49 |
| popo87 | how do i use ppa-purge with this ppa? deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/videolan/master-daily/ubuntu oneiric main | 21:49 |
| usr13 | hwilde: What service? | 21:50 |
| hwilde | usr13, it is a program that I wrote | 21:50 |
| usr13 | hwilde: I dono | 21:50 |
| hwilde | why are you wasting my time if you're not a networking genius man | 21:50 |
| hwilde | anybody here networking genius? | 21:50 |
| usr13 | hwilde: I don't think you'll get any help with an attitude like that. | 21:51 |
| Rud | totesmuhgoats: the main problem with vim is that you won't see any value in using it unless you are forced to use it three months in a row. | 21:51 |

| bredbaker | hey | 21:55 |
| bredbaker | I have question | 21:56 |
| totesmuhgoats | Rud: i see value in using it, even though i'm not very experienced with it. overall it takes me longer to do things in vim | 21:56 |
| totesmuhgoats | but when i am using another editor it becomes apparently annoying that i can't select multiple lines and comment them, or move 4 words forward or back | 21:56 |
| ssta | for either vim or emacs...it's well worth taking the time to learn. You'll be slower at first, but as you get used to it you'll be MUCH faster... | 21:57 |
| bredbaker | <-- has question | 21:59 |
| bredbaker | <-- does not get help | 21:59 |
| ssta | bredbaker: you haven't asked a question | 22:00 |

| treesome | not a good idea, i thought the problem might be grub related .......... | 22:18 |

| itaylor57 | hackeron, you can't | 22:18 |

| bredbaker | Because ubuntu always was released if there were new gnome version | 22:20 |

| treesome | my windows cd says it will boot but it doesnt and i suspect GRUB to be the problem | 22:25 |

| ssta | treesome: if you'r windows CD won't boot, then you need to ask in a windows channel about that | 22:25 |
| ikonia | treesome: grub is not the problem, grub does not boot your windows CD | 22:25 |
| treesome | windows XP | 22:25 |

| === bredbaker is now known as bradbaker_afk | ||
| Bndr5 | itaylor57, what ? | 22:29 |
| Bndr5 | ktosiek, xrandr doesn't work. | 22:30 |
| Bndr5 | for default is 800x600,and i want more. | 22:30 |
| ktosiek | Bndr5: if it's not showing any other resolutions, reask your question with this information and say what graphics card you are using | 22:31 |
| dadsda | I used to have a static IP to my ISP but recently installed a router with openwrt - tp-link tl-wr842nd - which connects to my ISP now and I connect to my router and get my IP through DHCP, the problem si I see errors in the router logs: http://pastebin.com/w7deYAUg | 22:31 |
| OerHeks | Bndr5, check hardwaredrivers for closed source videodriver | 22:31 |
| gio333 | hello | 22:31 |
| dadsda | my Ubuntu can still can get an IP address and I have internet but those errors continue to appear in the router logs, any ideas? | 22:31 |
| Bndr5 | ktosiek, i have sis silicon graphics | 22:31 |
| ssta | dadsda: how is that an Ubuntu issue? | 22:32 |
| ktosiek | if it shows a list of other resolutions: xrandr -s 1024x768 (or whatever resolution from the list) | 22:32 |
| === Jad is now known as Guest37479 | ||
| dadsda | ssta: I guess my Ubuntu keeps some old connection settings and creates a conflict, it request a different IP from the router, no? | 22:32 |
| === Guest37479 is now known as Jaddie | ||
| ssta | dadsda: doubtful | 22:33 |
| ktosiek | dadsda: maybe your computer is set up to boot from network, but that's BIOS setting and not related to operating system | 22:34 |
| Bndr5 | 1 seg checking.. | 22:34 |
| dadsda | ktosiek, you think that changing my IP from static to DHCP on my Ubuntu has nothing to do with the errors in my router which show my computer request a different IP? | 22:35 |
| ktosiek | and suggestions that DHCP clients send do not cause any problems - server may (and normally will) ignore them | 22:35 |
| Tray | Hi there, i've a problem using my Toshiba NB200 with a fresh ubuntu 11.10 install (only some removing and installing of software). I recognized that ubuntu stops working when idling for too long. I tried a small ruby script wich just loops an output and it never works for more than a minute. Moving the mouse or pressing keys make it work again. I appreciate any help or hints. | 22:35 |
| Bndr5 | ktosiek, | 22:36 |
| Bndr5 | ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~$ xrandr -s 1024x768 | 22:36 |
| Bndr5 | Size 1024x768 not found in available modes | 22:36 |
| ktosiek | dadsda: no, but they are not errors (just informations that your PC requested IP from router) | 22:36 |
| sunz | I am trying to create a Hotspot on my laptop, but it does not work... did anyone get it working? | 22:36 |
| ktosiek | Bndr5: so, the only mode that xrandr shows is 800x600? That's a driver issue for sure, can't help you about it | 22:36 |
| dadsda | ktosiek, that's what I want to solve, those wrong requests from my Ubuntu going to my Router | 22:37 |
| Bndr5 | can't why ? | 22:37 |
| ktosiek | dadsda: they are just normal DHCP logs, nothing to worry about | 22:37 |
| ktosiek | Bndr5: I have no experience with sis drivers :-) | 22:37 |
| OerHeks | Bndr5, SIS isn't really good supported, manufacturor does not coop | 22:38 |

| gio333 | I had installed Ubuntu , but because it is very heavy for my machine, I uninstall the ubuntu environment and installed the Lubuntu , now I have multiple environments and the machine tells me to choose at the begining | 22:49 |
| ktosiek | Felix|Cat: sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart | 22:49 |
| gio333 | it tellss me to input my username and password and also to choose desktop | 22:49 |
| Felix|Cat | ktosiek: First thing I tried. It did nothing. | 22:49 |
| gio333 | and there are many environments , ubuntu lubuntu kubuntu lxde and others | 22:49 |
| gio333 | I think the machine does not perform well because there are many environments | 22:50 |
| ktosiek | gio333: oh, ok, that's nothing wrong. It just lets you choose which one you want to run, but all programs and data are common | 22:50 |
| gio333 | how can I check if I have installed something wrong ? | 22:50 |
| Felix|Cat | Ah, no, but not since reinstalling the service. | 22:50 |
| Felix|Cat | Magic, ktosiek. | 22:50 |
| Felix|Cat | I owe you a pint. | 22:50 |
| ktosiek | there shouldn't be any performance penalty for just having multiple DEs installed | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | gio333: sudo apt-get -f install | 22:50 |

| ActionParsnip | Felix|Cat: you from he UK? | 22:51 |
| Felix|Cat | ActionParsnip: Not if you're looking at my IP, but by birth and raising, yep. | 22:51 |

| ActionParsnip | Felix|Cat: 'owe you a pint' is very englishy. I'm from the UK ;) | 22:51 |
| Felix|Cat | ktosiek: And pay for it in Euros? | 22:52 |
| Felix|Cat | :D | 22:52 |
| Felix|Cat | Yes. | 22:52 |
| Felix|Cat | Yes it is. | 22:52 |
| Felix|Cat | (God, I miss pubs) | 22:52 |
| ktosiek | Felix|Cat: what do you miss about them? | 22:52 |
| ktosiek | We've got some nice pubs here in Poland :-) | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ktosiek: or 16 fluid ounces ;) | 22:52 |
| Felix|Cat | ktosiek: ...having somewhere you can get a pint. Egypt's not so hot on them. | 22:53 |
| gio333 | ActionParship: what is this command you wrote? | 22:54 |
| gio333 | the computer i use is like rubbish | 22:54 |
| gio333 | I need my OS to be lightweighted | 22:54 |
| duckx | what is /etc/skel ?? | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | gio333: it makes sure the packages are all ok, that deps are met etc | 22:55 |
| duckx | i want to edit my global bashrc | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | duckx: the default profile that new users copy when they are made | 22:55 |
| javierf_ | in ubuntu 12.04 beta2, when I have a light theme (except for radiance) letters go white, and it's impossible to read them in most applications. Someone knows how to fix this bug or select manually the colour of fonts? Thanks! | 22:55 |
| ktosiek | gio333: all those other environments just sit on the disk and do nothing, if you're not low on HDD space you don't have to care about them | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | duckx: edit /etc/bash.bashrc I believe, its a file in /etc you need to edit | 22:55 |
| ktosiek | javierf_: precise support is this way -> /join #ubuntu+1 | 22:55 |
| ktosiek | duckx: it's what new users get copied into their $HOME | 22:56 |
| Felix|Cat | Now, I don't suppose anyone knows an actual solution to the problem of Ubuntu not reconnecting to a dropped connection that *won't* break network-manager? | 22:56 |
| duckx | ic thanks! | 22:56 |
| duckx | skel stands for skelton ? | 22:56 |
| ktosiek | I think so | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Felix|Cat: unload then reload the driver module, may help | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | duckx: afaik yes | 22:57 |
| gio333 | ktosiek: I dont have a HDD problem , I am Ok with that . But I have a memory and cpu space problem . The cpu when I choose lubuntu is 100%. How can I be sure that another enviroment isnt runnung on the back ? | 22:57 |
| Felix|Cat | On second thoughts, thanks ActionParsnip for the suggestion, but I think, at 1am, I should get back to that at a later date. That one's not urgent, after all. | 22:57 |
| Felix|Cat | Cheers ktosiek, ActionParsnip. | 22:58 |
| gridbag | what's the package name for the "boost" dev tools? | 22:58 |
| ktosiek | gio333: it just isn't, some parts (like window manager or notifications daemon) would collide and anyway: only the one you choose at login screen is started | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !find boost | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Found: libboost-dbg, libboost-dev, libboost-doc, libboost-graph1.46-dev, libboost-graph1.46.1, libboost-iostreams-dev, libboost-iostreams1.46-dev, libboost-iostreams1.46.1, libboost-program-options1.46-dev, libboost-program-options1.46.1 (and 84 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=boost&searchon=names&suite=oneiric§ion=all | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | gridbag: libboost-dev maybe.. | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | gridbag: or try: apt-cache search boot | less | 22:59 |
| ktosiek | if you want to find what's eating your CPU use top (or htop, it's nicer :-)) | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | boost, typo | 22:59 |
| hinder90 | hi, I have a question about the sadc implementation in ubuntu 10.04 | 23:01 |
| hinder90 | I am trying to collect individual i/o metrics for each disk | 23:01 |
| hinder90 | sadc doesn't accept the -d option nor does -S DISK provide that data to make sar -d work | 23:02 |
| hinder90 | you just get Requested activities not available in file.... | 23:02 |
| hinder90 | I have hunted hi and low for a solution... anyone know how this is done? | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | hinder90: does testdisk not help? | 23:03 |
| Bndr5 | someone know how works xrandr ?? | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hinder90: or hdparm | 23:04 |
| hinder90 | ActionParsnip: I added it and the behavior didn't change | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hinder90: testdisk is a data recovery app so isn't useful. Got muddled | 23:05 |
| hinder90 | ActionParsnip: hdparm already install | 23:05 |
| Bndr5 | OerHeks, | 23:05 |
| hinder90 | iostat shows the data well enough | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | hinder90: you can set options on devices with hdparm | 23:05 |
| hinder90 | I am just trying to collect with sar | 23:05 |
| nostriluu | hi, am running 10.04, is there a fix for CVE-2012-1182 ? thanks | 23:05 |
| ubottu | The RPC code generator in Samba 3.x before 3.4.16, 3.5.x before 3.5.14, and 3.6.x before 3.6.4 does not implement validation of an array length in a manner consistent with validation of array memory allocation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPC call. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1182) | 23:05 |
| hinder90 | ActionParsnip: whoa, do I want to be mucking with hdparm? looks dangerous :-) | 23:06 |
| gio333 | there is a process called gnome-system-monitor in the Task Manager . Since I use Lubuntu that is LXDE , why is a gnome thing running ? | 23:07 |
| FrozenFire | Curious. I installed Ubuntu via Wubi (to dual-boot with 7), and it failed to boot. Drops to initramfs and says it gave up waiting for root device. | 23:07 |
| ktosiek | gio333: kill it and see what happens | 23:07 |
| Pici | nostriluu: not yet. | 23:08 |
| FrozenFire | The two possible issues I see are that 1) I have a Truecrypt-encrypted system disk, and 2) It looked like it was downloading the amd64 ISO, and this is an Intel 64-bit processor. | 23:08 |
| ktosiek | it's funny that it's running, do you have some "system monitor" hotkey on keyboard? | 23:08 |
| nostriluu | pici, what should i do in the meantime ? it seems rather threatening | 23:08 |
| FrozenFire | Any ideas? | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | gio333: LXDE is made using GTK | 23:08 |
| ktosiek | FrozenFire: Intel 64bit CPUs used in desktop are of amd64 architecture | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | FrozenFire: amd64 is just a name that stuck, much like 'IDE drive. It will run on 64bit intel CPU | 23:09 |
| ktosiek | AFAIK Intels 64bit arch (IA64) is not used on desktops | 23:09 |
| hinder90 | ActionParsnip: what was your sugguestion what I should do with hdparm to get disk i/o metrics to report in sadc? | 23:09 |
| gio333 | ActionParsnip: Is it running by default in lubuntu ? | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | hinder90: sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda | 23:10 |
| FrozenFire | Yeah, that's what I thought. I can install the 32-bit version of Ubuntu through Wubi by downloading the 32-bit ISO, yes? I vaguely recall there being a Wubi.exe on the ISOs. | 23:10 |
| hinder90 | ActionParsnip: it looks like it is doing something when I run that | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | gio333: no, the gnome desktop is not in Lubuntu, but the toolkit used to make the apps is the same and is partly why you use gksudo to run gui apps even in lubuntu as well as xfce | 23:10 |
| Pici | nostriluu: I'm not sure what to suggest. I don't see a fix published in Debian or even on RedHat yet, so I'd expect us to have something up soon. | 23:10 |
| Bndr5 | Someone know how solve this ? http://pastebin.com/F09nHjts | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | hinder90: it's the test command, it tests write and read speeds | 23:11 |
| Bndr5 | ktosiek, still here. | 23:11 |
| hinder90 | ActionParsnip: it would seem like the -d aption simply doesn't work with lucid's implementation of sadc | 23:11 |
| jnl_ | nl | 23:11 |
| iceroot | why is the minimal-issue enabling backports by default? | 23:11 |
| nostriluu | thanks pici. | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | hinder90: not someting i've used tbh | 23:12 |
| inxtone | what is ubuntu 4? | 23:12 |
| FrozenFire | Hrmm, sounds like Wubi + Truecrypt is a no-go | 23:12 |
| L3top | Bndr5: what needs to be solved exactly? You want more resolution modes? | 23:13 |
| d-bugger | inxtone: wha? | 23:13 |
| ktosiek | Bndr5: if xrandr is not showing you all the sizes you want it's something with drivers, and I don't know anything about SIS drivers | 23:13 |
| Logan_ | inxtone: As in "for?" | 23:13 |
| inxtone | simple question | 23:13 |
| inxtone | what is it used for? | 23:13 |
| d-bugger | oh | 23:13 |
| Logan_ | !ubuntu | inxtone | 23:13 |
| ubottu | inxtone: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 23:13 |
| Bndr5 | L3top, nope just 1024x768, delete the others | 23:13 |
| inxtone | how does it differ from .Net development | 23:14 |
| hinder90 | ActionParsnip: the other issue may just be that lucid's implemention doesn't support -d | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | inxtone: what is windows used for? | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hinder90: do versions in later releases suport it? | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | inxtone: same deal | 23:14 |
| L3top | well... you wouldn't want to delete them... they are available modes | 23:14 |
| Bndr5 | L3top, I see now 1280x1024, and i need the others. | 23:14 |
| Bndr5 | L3top, i need the 1024x.. | 23:15 |
| L3top | you will need to change the currently used mode in desktop settings | 23:15 |
| inxtone | damn bro i was 12 with vb4.0 on woal now im back @ .Net @ age 28 | 23:15 |
| inxtone | never got to linux | 23:16 |
| Bndr5 | yes there're 800x600,1280x1024, and 600x... | 23:16 |
| hinder90 | ActionParship: Actiually not, sorry... it just seems that sadc -S ALL doesn't provide sar with what it needs to report info -d should | 23:16 |
| Bndr5 | 1024x768 doesn't | 23:16 |
| hinder90 | ActionParsnip: I am looking to do is collect what iostat reports with sa1 | 23:16 |
| L3top | <L3top> Bndr5: what needs to be solved exactly? You want more resolution modes? | 23:16 |
| d-bugger | inxtone: then you've missd out on an awful lot :P | 23:16 |
| Bndr5 | ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~$ xrandr -s "1024x768" | 23:17 |
| Bndr5 | Size 1024x768 not found in available modes | 23:17 |
| inxtone | what is even the point of other OSs | 23:17 |
| iceroot | inxtone: you have a technical support question? | 23:17 |
| inxtone | you boot to process data either way | 23:17 |
| d-bugger | inxtone: take a look; if you use it right, it will change thwe way you work | 23:17 |
| inxtone | nah im simply thinking | 23:17 |
| Bender_ | Is it possible to make the letterbox in the tray to pulse or flash in order to be more visible to my eyes when I recieve a message? | 23:17 |
| L3top | Bndr5: lspci | grep VGA | 23:18 |
| ktosiek | inxtone: well, I don't know whats the point of OSes other than Linux either | 23:18 |
| Bndr5 | L3top, ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~$ lspci | grep VGA | 23:18 |
| Bndr5 | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) | 23:18 |
| d-bugger | ktosiek: lol | 23:18 |
| inxtone | d-bugger: but isnt rich text processing through object design the same with any code | 23:18 |
| d-bugger | inxtone: linux isnt just about the code | 23:19 |
| inxtone | d-bugger: id love to 9 | 23:19 |
| d-bugger | you can use linux for a lot more than windows without ever really touching any coding | 23:19 |
| d-bugger | plus, theres several levels of coding, if you wish to get into it | 23:19 |
| inxtone | d-bugger: but isnt the whoel point to boot @ a custom eNvio | 23:19 |
| d-bugger | what do you mean - custom environment? | 23:20 |
| inxtone | less clicks the better? | 23:20 |
| inxtone | - controller navigation | 23:20 |
| d-bugger | its much more than just less clicks | 23:20 |
| inxtone | ood | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Bndr5: oh man those are always hell | 23:21 |
| d-bugger | for example, linux stores its log files as plaintext | 23:21 |
| inxtone | so are ini's | 23:21 |
| L3top | Bndr5: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=958967&page=78 | 23:21 |
| ktosiek | inxtone: which are not logfiles :-P | 23:21 |
| d-bugger | while it may seem simplistic to windows folks, it makes it easy to manipulate through pipes | 23:21 |
| inxtone | pipes? | 23:21 |
| Bndr5 | L3top, i was trying this http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/guerrilla-tactics-force-screen-mode-ubuntu | 23:21 |
| d-bugger | thus, each thing is treated as if it were a database | 23:21 |
| keithzz | Hi Im trying to upgrade to new ubuntu but update manager is giving me this error: Authentication failed | 23:21 |
| keithzz | Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. | 23:21 |
| L3top | afk. | 23:21 |
| Bndr5 | but there're some numbers after the resolution idont understant, | 23:22 |
| ktosiek | Linux is UNIXy, so a lot of things are in text files and you can do a lot of magic only by manipulating text with simple commands | 23:22 |
| L3top | probably modlines... afk | 23:22 |
| inxtone | does it really matter what OS you use? | 23:22 |
| d-bugger | inxtone: for example, say you want to find how many UDP hits on your firewall came in | 23:22 |
| Bndr5 | okythx. | 23:22 |
| inxtone | d-Bugger: udp? | 23:22 |
| iceroot | inxtone: of course it does and here comes the answer | 23:23 |
| d-bugger | the command is something like 'cat <logfile> |grep UDP|wc | 23:23 |
| iceroot | !free | inxtone | 23:23 |
| ubottu | inxtone: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 23:23 |
| gio333 | kubuntu or lubuntu or xubuntu use less CPU ? | 23:23 |
| d-bugger | that flexibility is something that i, using windows for a good part of my life, didnt find | 23:23 |
| keithzz | I checked online, but it seams no one can fix this issue, any ideas? | 23:23 |
| iceroot | gio333: lubuntu | 23:24 |
| d-bugger | of course, i didnt know i was missing it until i moved to linux | 23:24 |
| ktosiek | and there's a lot of cultural differences, on Windows every application is it's own world and making them work together is pain | 23:24 |
| inxtone | dd-Bugger: imo windows isn't designed to be used.... it's to be developed | 23:24 |
| d-bugger | inxtone: i thnk even MS would disagree with that point | 23:25 |
| inxtone | thats why they'd ship | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Bndr5: try: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and paste in this text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/925672/ | 23:26 |
| keithzz | Authentication failed | 23:26 |
| keithzz | Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. Has anyone seen this? | 23:26 |
| Bndr5 | ActionParsnip, oky | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | keithzz: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Bndr5: if you get no desktop, boot to root recovery mode and rename the file | 23:26 |
| iceroot | keithzz: and what is the output of "ping -c 4 google.com" | 23:27 |
| mrorganic4me | can anyone help me get a folder transfered from a virtual box windows 7 to my main os ubuntu 11.10? | 23:27 |
| keithzz | ActionParnip: Maverick | 23:27 |
| inxtone | 110 is the building where i saw the towers fall... | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | keithzz: maverick is EOL now | 23:27 |
| iceroot | !ot | inxtone | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | keithzz: EOL = no support + no updates | 23:27 |
| ubottu | inxtone: #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! | 23:27 |
| Bndr5 | ActionParsnip, i saw my Xorg empty | 23:27 |
| keithzz | ActionParsnip: how can I upgrade :$ ? | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Bndr5: yes by default it is empty, some video chips and setups need the file to tell it how to run | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | keithzz | 23:28 |
| ubottu | keithzz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 23:28 |
| iceroot | !eol | keithzz (last link) | 23:28 |

| iceroot | !maverick | 23:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | keithzz: personally I'd wipe Maverick off and clean install Precise which is LTS and will be the latest Ubuntu once it's released in a week or so. | 23:28 |
| Bndr5 | ActionParsnip, this is not better ? http://pastebin.com/YzJwWGz3 | 23:29 |
| inxtone | how would one custumize the OS on ubuntu? | 23:29 |
| iceroot | inxtone: the installation media? | 23:29 |
| ktosiek | inxtone: that depends on what you want to customize | 23:29 |
| three18ti | inxtone, one of the great things about Ubuntu is you can customize it any way you want, | 23:30 |
| inxtone | rtf units | 23:30 |
| iceroot | inxtone: or the installed system? | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Bndr5: try both :) | 23:30 |

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 23:30 |
| Bndr5 | how ? two XOrg.conf in X11 ? | 23:30 |
| Bndr5 | or one by one ? | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Bndr5: if you want, only the one named xorg.conf will be used though | 23:30 |
| Bndr5 | ok. now ? | 23:31 |
| d-bugger | inxtone: to get started, you dont even need to really do that. Just take a look at gnome's gui, and compare its simple mouse-click customizability with MS'/ | 23:31 |
| mentalove | hello, i recently bought a HD 6870 GPU and im not sure how to install the drivers for ubuntu 11.10 | 23:31 |
