| KM0201 | nexushaxx: when i tried installling w/ the .deb (on 12.04) it didn't work.. | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| KM0201 | i ended up having to install flash "manually" | 00:01 |
| nexushaxx | esteban22x: yes can be work with 1.6 Ghz and less | 00:01 |
| nexushaxx | haw you do that ? | 00:01 |
| KM0201 | excelsior: what do you mean get get around a way to use ubuntu desktop? | 00:02 |
| KM0201 | a GUI on a server is kinda silly. | 00:02 |
| excelsior | I suppose, but I'm trying to approach this in the most optimal way. | 00:02 |
| KM0201 | nexushaxx: go to the download page, and download the .tar.gz file. | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | excelsior: do you mean ubuntu clients to a 2008 terminal server? | 00:02 |
| esteban22x | but I have 1.6 and ubuntu works slowly even with gnome classic | 00:02 |
| nexushaxx | km0201:yes I did'it | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | esteban22x: my 1.6Ghz sempron runs Unity2D just dandy with nvidia 6150LE 512Mb onboard | 00:03 |
| KM0201 | nexushaxx: now, extract it.. you should have two files in there. | 00:03 |
| excelsior | Since they'll be accessing Ubuntu from these nComputing terminals, I figured Ubuntu server, but since they need remote desktop (and since I haven't seen reference to Ubuntu Server in any preliminary documentation) perhaps there's no Ubuntu Server? | 00:04 |
| inxtone | does anybody know any microsoft chats? | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !ltsp | excelsior | 00:04 |
| ubottu | excelsior: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 00:04 |
| bazhang | ##windows inxtone | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | inxtone: try ##windows | 00:04 |
| inxtone | thank you | 00:04 |
| KM0201 | nexushaxx: did you extract it? | 00:04 |
| nexushaxx | yes !! and ?? | 00:05 |
| mystMan_ | I just installed ubuntu on my computer and installed php5, mysql server and clien and apache2 how do i set up the local dev environment? | 00:05 |
| KM0201 | one of the files is called "libflashplayer.so".. right click it, and copy it. | 00:05 |
| mystMan_ | so that i can view the locally deveoped sites? | 00:05 |
| KM0201 | nexes: then in nautilus.. go back to your home folder (/home/username).... | 00:05 |
| KM0201 | click view/show hidden files and folders | 00:05 |
| nexushaxx | ok | 00:05 |
| KM0201 | then find the ".mozilla" folder, and open it. | 00:05 |
| mystMan_ | also how do i find out the su - root password??? i cant su - root | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | excelsior: if you just want thin clients to run apps on the server, you can have SSH connections and use x forwarding. the apps will be processed on the server but show on the clients | 00:05 |
| KM0201 | inside .mozilla, create a directory called "plugins" | 00:06 |
| nexushaxx | ok, done | 00:06 |
| inxtone | bazhang: no such room... | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mystMan_: the root account is disabled | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mystMan_: use: sudo -i | 00:06 |
| KM0201 | inside the plugins directory, paste the libflashplayer.so | 00:06 |
| mystMan_ | oh ok just use sudo | 00:06 |
| mystMan_ | got it | 00:06 |
| KM0201 | nexushaxx: after you do that. | 00:06 |
| MrKixs | Hello all | 00:06 |
| KM0201 | close all your browsers, and fire one up, and go to youtube, and you should have flash | 00:07 |
| bazhang | inxtone, yes there is. /join ##windows | 00:07 |
| mystMan_ | so to my other question. i have been a windows user since i can remember but I develop in a shop that uses all linux machines. How do i set up the local dev enviroment like WAMP so that i can develop locally and view in my browswer locally | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !lamp | 00:07 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:07 |
| nexushaxx | ok tha,k you so mach KM0201 | 00:08 |
| KM0201 | np | 00:08 |
| nexushaxx | thank you | 00:08 |
| MrKixs | can anyone point me to a way to fix the "black screen" issue | 00:08 |
| mystMan_ | i like mysql better instead of postresql | 00:08 |
| mystMan_ | thank bot | 00:08 |
| KM0201 | can you point me to something explaining the "black screen" issue | 00:08 |

| maslen | ah, I misread. I thoguht it said 'm'. my bad. | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | MrKixs: you can add the option by holding shift at boot, then pree E to (e)dit the boot, after the word 'splash' add the boot option: acpi_os= then press ENTER to continue the boot | 00:13 |

| MrKixs | Thanks, will that still allow me to use dual screen? | 00:14 |

Even if I plug it back in, it still suspends. While it only takes a few seconds to load back in, it is a major annoyance. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I mean I even had it at 96% charge once, and it slipped out and Ubuntu bro | 00:18 |

| Phaba | Chaosadnd, some flash/java packages | 00:23 |

| Phaba | microsoft code in there somewhere i guess | 00:23 |
| mentalove | ultimately i want to mine bitcoins | 00:23 |

| Halexander9000 | Chaosadnd: I do not know. | 00:23 |

| rallias | mentalove, ahh... what miner program are you using? | 00:23 |
| Halexander9000 | ActionParsnip: Alright. | 00:23 |

| lrojas | hi all, can somebody point me to instructions on how to install chrome using PPA in ubuntu 11.10 ? | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | lrojas: do you mean chrome, or do you mean chromium? | 00:26 |
| lrojas | chrome | 00:26 |
| Halexander9000 | ActionParsnip: I think I may have only used sudo apt-get update after installing the getdeb repos, not after the playdeb repos. | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | lrojas: what is the output of: uname -m | 00:27 |
| plantian1 | hi guys, does anyone know why file -ib file.csv would think that a file was text/x-java ? | 00:27 |
| Halexander9000 | ActionParsnip: Thanks again. | 00:27 |
| lrojas | x86_64 | 00:27 |
| mentalove | rallias, yes radeon | 00:27 |
| plantian1 | but on another system, that i scp'ed it from, it reads text/plain ? | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | lrojas: wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb; rm ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install | 00:27 |
| rallias | lrojas, Google chrome, the first result shows a google website. Download the .deb file it provides, and it will automatically make a sources.list.d item. | 00:28 |
| rallias | mentalove, Have you tried a different miner? For one thing, java isn't going to give you optimal results. For another, it appears to be the miner itself. | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lrojas: the deb also adds the google repo so it will update when the reop gets updated | 00:28 |
| lrojas | rallias, i want to use a PPA, to facilitate updating and package managing | 00:29 |
| lrojas | so is better to install using the .deb? | 00:29 |
| rallias | lrojas, Yes. It will provide automatic updates | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | lrojas: its the easiest way | 00:29 |
| === linux-ninja1 is now known as linux-ninja | ||
| ActionParsnip | lrojas: the open source chromium-browser is in the default repos and doesn't have the tracking stuff in | 00:30 |

| rallias | mentalove, Are you using a mac machine? | 00:30 |
| lrojas | ActionParsnip, but isn't chrome more stable than chromiun + have the flash thing | 00:31 |
| mentalove | rallias, no im not on a mac lol | 00:32 |
| rallias | mentalove, MMK. I'm unable to find a solution. Ultimately, I'd switch away from diablominer, just for the fact that it runs java, and java with gpu's is a PITFA. | 00:32 |
| lrojas | rallias, all i want chrome for is so i dont have to install flash | 00:33 |
| mentalove | rallias, okay thanks. i'll poke around a bit | 00:33 |
| rallias | lrojas, You aren't going to get that on linux | 00:33 |
| Zizoo | Hey, my external HD is not mounting, nor showing up on fdisk, but it is clearly powered and showing up on lsusb with the proper name. How can I mount it? | 00:33 |

| MrUnagi | I cant connect to display :0 | 00:34 |
| MrUnagi | Display 0 | 00:34 |
| lrojas | rallias, if that's the case, why would anybody install chrome instead of chromiun? | 00:34 |
| rallias | d-bugger, No. Google said they won't distribute adobe flash with the linux distribution of Google Chrome | 00:34 |
| rallias | lrojas, Different theme, different featureset, knowledge that its being maintained by a familiar company? | 00:35 |

| lrojas | but wait, i just read in PC world that Adobe is discontinuing flash for Linux and the only way to access flash would be through chrome... | 00:37 |
| Zizoo | Any clues about why a an external HD wouldn't automount or show up on fdisk ("sudo fdisk -l"), but would show up on lsusb, or how I could fix that and mount? | 00:37 |
| lrojas | rallias, also, what is diferent? | 00:37 |
| mukti | Are there commands to increase and decrease the volume (from the terminal)? | 00:37 |
| rallias | lrojas, Absolutely nothing is different. Adobe said they were making flash only compatible with one certain API on linux that only is implemented in Chromium and its derivitives. | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | lrojas: the world will have moved to HTML5 by then, nobody will care | 00:38 |
| mukti | or, are there commands for alsamixer that will increase/decrease volume? | 00:38 |
| rallias | lrojas, Actually... there's a PDF viewer built into google chrome... that's it | 00:38 |
| lrojas | i see, ok, so this is a non issue then... | 00:38 |
| d-bugger | mukti: amixer set Master 70% unmute | 00:39 |
| MrUnagi | Like right now im connected to 5901 but it's just the wallpaper | 00:39 |
| lrojas | is it worth it, i mean chromiun, compared to Firefox ? | 00:39 |
| rallias | ActionParsnip, I hope so... people who insist flash is absolutely necessary just bug the crap out of me. | 00:39 |
| rallias | lrojas, Depends. Is your CPU multi-core or single-core? | 00:40 |
| d-bugger | mukti: Master is one of the devices. you'll have to find the names of them separately | 00:40 |
| lrojas | rallias, worst than flash are sites that require the microsoft thing... like netflix... | 00:40 |
| Zizoo | I am in the right channel for Ubuntu support, am I not? | 00:40 |
| Therion87 | Sliverlight lol | 00:40 |
| Therion87 | What crap | 00:40 |
| rallias | Zizoo, you are | 00:40 |
| lrojas | rallias, how do i check? | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | rallias: I install minitube on every OS I setup now, makes life easier :) | 00:41 |
| Therion87 | I use Firefox still tho I have Chromium installed | 00:41 |
| rallias | lrojas, Is your computer slow or fast? | 00:41 |
| MrUnagi | How do I start GDP on display 1 | 00:41 |
| MrUnagi | !gdm | 00:41 |

| gorgonzola | hello peoples! i just updated to precise from oneiric, and now i'm getting hard locks everytime i try to boot the 3.2 kernel. any idea on how o go about reporting this bug? | 00:44 |
| Zizoo | rallias, it doesn't appear. | 00:44 |
| rallias | ActionParsnip, Only to a dreamer. | 00:44 |
| MrUnagi | Everything | 00:44 |
| MrUnagi | Whatever I cant do via cli | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | gorgonzola: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise support please | 00:44 |
| rallias | Zizoo, Its possible that your specific usb device isn't compatible with linux... | 00:44 |
| rallias | BTW, when is 12.04 coming out? | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: I bet you can do nearly everything fast via not using vnc | 00:45 |
| rallias | "officially"? | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | rallias: end of the month | 00:45 |
| MrUnagi | Usually | 00:45 |
| Zizoo | I could swear I'd used it before from linux.... I'll try seeing if gparted sees it. | 00:45 |
| rallias | ActionParsnip, Oh, so I could have beaten the crowd even if I procrastinated? | 00:45 |
| MrUnagi | I would just feel better if I had vnc control | 00:45 |
| gorgonzola | ActionParsnip, i'm already there. but my question is more general, ie, is there any way to save the kernel buffer if the kernel is locking up before initializing anything? | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | gorgonzola: your quesion is regarding Precise which isn't supported here until release day | 00:46 |
| gorgonzola | ActionParsnip or more simply, how do i report bugs in the kernel boot process? | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !bug | gorgonzola | 00:46 |
| ubottu | gorgonzola: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 00:46 |
| rallias | Zizoo, I've had similar problems with android... it has to do with the USB read/write permissions. | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: install openssh-server and you can connect securely to your home folder and manipulate your files without problem | 00:46 |
| MrUnagi | Except when there are problems | 00:47 |
| gorgonzola | ActionParsnip ... a simple "i have no idea" would have been helpful. i know how to file bugs, i need to know how to o something needed for the bug report. | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | gorgonzola: the bot told you | 00:47 |
| Zizoo | Thank you, but I think I fixed it. It started showing up in fdisk as soon as I accessed it from gparted for some unfathomable reason. | 00:47 |

| MrUnagi | Is gdm not the default desktop manager anymore? | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: no, lightdm is | 00:48 |
| gorgonzola | ActionParsnip dude. you are not reading my question. this is not a question about ubuntu+1. this is a uestion about filing bugs, but not a general type of question. the question is: how do i produce error reports to include in the bug that i alredy know how to fill that occurs in the kernel boot process | 00:48 |
| MrUnagi | So how does one start lightdm on :1 | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | gorgonzola: ubuntu-bug linux should kick off the process | 00:49 |
| gorgonzola | ActionParsnip, in other words, does anyone here know how to save kernel boot messages? bootlogd is not working either, as the error occurs before it gets started. | 00:49 |
| gorgonzola | ok, i'm off to filing a rather useless bug report, or resorting to taking screenshots of the screen. sory if i sounded rude, thanks for your time. | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | gorgonzola: /var/log/dmesg* maybe, one may be the last boot, the guys managing the bugs can advise how to get what they need | 00:50 |

| gorgonzola | ActionParsnip, yeah, i guess i'll file it as is, and then see how to produce errors. i just thougth that was a rather common thing. | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | gorgonzola: that's what I was getting at :). Remember Ubuntu's target audience :D | 00:51 |
| MrUnagi | Lightdm :1? | 00:51 |
| MrUnagi | !lightdm | 00:51 |
| gorgonzola | Beleive me, if he target audience updates heir machine and the only thing it gets is blinking capslock, they will freak out for sure. i did :S | 00:52 |
| gorgonzola | sppecially now that grub2 is booting default options automatically | 00:52 |
| MrUnagi | Or if I can figure out vnc to display 0 then I wouldn't care about display 1 | 00:52 |

| Kanerix | Bndr5, edit the file in vim, then find the duplicate line, and hit "dd" | 00:58 |
| spacecase-25 | can anyone help me rebuild my xorg.conf file? I n00b'd hard and deleted it, no backup. managed to get xserver running again with "X -configure" but the screen isn't configured correctly. Anyway to get back to what was generated by the installer (without reinstalling)? | 00:58 |
| Kanerix | then save it by typing :wq! | 00:58 |
| Bndr5 | Kanerix, in gedit ? | 00:58 |
| Kanerix | I did say vim | 00:58 |
| escott | spacecase-25, there is no xorg.conf unless you used nvidia drivers | 00:59 |
| Kanerix | in gedit, just delete the line | 00:59 |
| Bndr5 | i can try | 00:59 |
| Kanerix | you have to be root | 00:59 |
| Kanerix | so use sudo | 00:59 |
| MrUnagi | Ok fine.....let's do it this way.....how do I fix invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character (84) errors | 00:59 |
| snap_ | escott: ati drivers generate one aswell | 00:59 |
| spacecase-25 | I'm using ati drivers | 00:59 |
| Kanerix | MrUnagi, I don't know, sorry | 00:59 |
| MrUnagi | Kanerix: Do you know how to start lightdm on display :1 | 01:00 |
| MrUnagi | Or vnc to display :0 | 01:00 |
| MrUnagi | :0 | 01:00 |
| MrUnagi | Sigh display 0 | 01:00 |
| Kanerix | VNC is usually 5900 + display number | 01:00 |
| Bndr5 | Kanerix, i dont find the duplicated | 01:00 |
| Kanerix | 5901 should be :1 | 01:00 |
| MrUnagi | But there is nothing on :1 | 01:01 |
| Bndr5 | I dont find this /archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_partner_binary-i386 | 01:01 |
| snap_ | spacecase-25: aticonfig --initial should set up a basic one | 01:01 |
| escott | MrUnagi, you would have to have permissions to draw to display :0 but if you export DISPLAY=:0 and then start the vnc server that should work | 01:01 |
| Kanerix | ^ | 01:01 |
| MrUnagi | How do you export : p | 01:01 |
| MrUnagi | 0 | 01:01 |
| Kanerix | um | 01:02 |
| escott | MrUnagi, "export DISPLAY=:0 | 01:02 |
| Kanerix | yeah | 01:02 |
| Kanerix | that's a command | 01:02 |
| MrUnagi | So !! Then vnc server? | 01:02 |
| Kanerix | export DISPLAY=:0 | 01:02 |
| Kanerix | run that | 01:02 |
| MrUnagi | Then? | 01:03 |
| Kanerix | run the vnc server | 01:03 |
| Kanerix | like escott said | 01:03 |
| MrUnagi | That's what I said lol !! && vncserver | 01:04 |
| MrUnagi | Won't let me connect | 01:04 |
| MrUnagi | Vncserver started on :3 | 01:04 |
| Kanerix | so | 01:04 |
| Kanerix | export DISPLAY=:3 | 01:04 |
| Kanerix | also make sure your firewall ain't blocking it | 01:05 |
| escott | MrUnagi, after export DISPLAY=:0 does running "xclock" start a clock on display 0 | 01:05 |
| MrUnagi | Display :3 won't have anything on it | 01:05 |
| ozzloy | someone say my name | 01:06 |
| MrUnagi | Does it matter if :O is at the log in screen | 01:06 |
| MrUnagi | : p | 01:06 |
| Logan_ | ozzloy | 01:06 |
| MrUnagi | Er | 01:06 |
| MrUnagi | : 0 | 01:06 |
| ozzloy | Logan_, thanks. didn't work. | 01:06 |
| Logan_ | np | 01:07 |
| MrUnagi | escott: I cant see display 0 to tell | 01:07 |
| MrUnagi | But when I ran xclock it says it ant open display :0 | 01:07 |
| escott | MrUnagi, ok. then you may not have permissions to draw to that display | 01:08 |
| MrUnagi | Why wouldn't I | 01:08 |
| escott | MrUnagi, because you havent configured yourself to. Are you the same user? Have you exported an XAUTHORITY variable to point to the xauth file if its not in ~/.xauthority? | 01:09 |
| MrUnagi | I don't know what any of that means | 01:10 |
| Kanerix | ugh I hate xauth stuff | 01:10 |
| MrUnagi | Why is vnc so hard on ubuntu | 01:10 |
| MrUnagi | I cant vnc to 0 but I can vnc to 1 | 01:11 |
| MrUnagi | But that does nothing for me | 01:11 |
| MrUnagi | How can I start lightdm on :1 | 01:12 |
| spacecase-25 | no luck with that rebuild... xserver wouldn't start and the conf file didn't look anything like the original one | 01:12 |
| MrUnagi | invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character (84) errors how does one fix this | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Bndr5: http://pastie.org/3771707 | 01:15 |
| Bndr5 | ActionParsnip, ohh. thanks ! | 01:16 |

| MrUnagi | So.....vnc to : 0.......start lightdm on :1....... Or fix invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character (84) errors | 01:16 |
| MrUnagi | One of those three would help | 01:17 |

| teligard2_ | Any ideas why I can't get audio to play with xbmcbuntu 11.10 installed? | 01:22 |
| escott | MrUnagi, so lightdm owns the display, and you might want to run xauth as root to enable access to that display. I'm not sure what is the recommended configuration | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | pooltable: if you set your user as owner and give no other users access then your user password will be the password to acess the folder | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: In what context? | 01:23 |
| MrUnagi | Rsync, cp | 01:23 |

| jamjam | @gio333 you can limit your cpu usage though.. | 02:06 |
| BioBuny | thank you I'll see if that works | 02:06 |
| scientes | gio333, basic fact also is that video decoding is very heavy | 02:06 |

| LTB_ | Hey guys! Is there a way to make the "chmod 777" command affect everything in an entire file? I'd have to have to do the command 700 times... | 02:14 |
| MrUnagi | Yes, get a working desktop environment on display :1 | 02:14 |
| scientes | MrUnagi, you mean a second one? | 02:14 |
| MrUnagi | Since i cant vnc 5900.....yes | 02:14 |
| usr13 | LTB_: -R --recursive | 02:14 |
| LTB_ | usr13: does it matte at what point in the command? | 02:14 |
| jamjam | I think it's reasonable, because he's asking not to be at 100% the pentium M 1.7 GHZ | 02:15 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: You may have to do export DISPLAY=:1.1 | 02:15 |
| scientes | jamjam there is nothing wrong with 100% | 02:15 |
| usr13 | LTB_: What? | 02:15 |
| escott | LTB_, you should be asking why you want to do that. is 777 really correct? | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | gio333: try arora instead | 02:15 |
| LTB_ | usr13: so "sudo chmod 777 foldername -R"? | 02:15 |
| LTB_ | Well | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | gio333: or midori | 02:15 |
| LTB_ | Isn't 777 for read,write,execute? | 02:15 |
| escott | LTB_, for anyone and everyone who has any form of access to that computer yes | 02:16 |
| jamjam | ^^ | 02:16 |
| scientes | LTB_, usr13 chmod 777 is like "..wait im not going to make such a nauty analogy | 02:16 |
| usr13 | LTB_: sudo chmod -R 777 /dir/name #to change files adn directories recursively | 02:16 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: What does that do | 02:16 |
| LTB_ | usr13: cheers! Well, ok, what would you suggest then? If I only want read, write | 02:16 |
| usr13 | LTB_: sudo chmod -R 777 /dir/name/* #to change files adn directories recursively | 02:16 |
| jrib | LTB_: 777 is never the answer :/ | 02:16 |
| scientes | ^^ | 02:16 |
| scientes | 777 is like alias for slutty | 02:17 |
| LTB_ | jrib: haha, I'm the only one using this computer:D | 02:17 |
| LTB_ | Apart from people hacking it I suppose | 02:17 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: I am late in the conversation and really dont' know what you are tring to do... | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | jrib: +1 | 02:17 |
| gio333 | @ActionParsnip midori and arora are distos ? | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | gio333: no, web browsers | 02:17 |
| LTB_ | I started Linuxing about 12 weeks ago, so... pretty new at this:) | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | gio333: designed to be light | 02:17 |
| usr13 | LTB_: sudo chmod -R +rw | 02:18 |
| escott | LTB_, even if its just you, you should be prepared in case at some point in the future you do need to give someone else access. for your files you want 750 for directories and 640 for files (or something along those lines) | 02:18 |
| LTB_ | Alright, trying usr13's suggestion | 02:18 |
| LTB_ | Hang on! | 02:18 |
| LTB_ | "recursive" means "entire folder" of some kind or?:p | 02:19 |
| usr13 | LTB_: escott makes a good point. | 02:19 |
| scientes | LTB_, yeah either 4 or 0 for that last bit (also, maybe 5 in some cases) | 02:19 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: I just want to vnc my ubuntu box | 02:19 |
| gio333 | what is mount.ntfs that runs at htop? | 02:19 |
| usr13 | LTB_: recursive means entire folder and all folders thereafter, (so be careful). | 02:19 |
| gio333 | it takes 40% | 02:19 |
| LTB_ | Hah | 02:20 |
| LTB_ | cool | 02:20 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: I cant connect to 5900.....vncserver starts on 5901....but there is no desktop manager running | 02:20 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: And you want to run a GUI app. and see it on server? (or client?) | 02:20 |
| LTB_ | That made me feel like a pro hacker rofl | 02:20 |
| LTB_ | Shit! | 02:20 |

| LTB_ | Hahahaha | 02:20 |
| LTB_ | How do I undo that | 02:20 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: I want the desktop to show | 02:20 |
| MrUnagi | The desktop manager | 02:20 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: If you want it to be seen on the server, export DISPLAY=:0.0 | 02:20 |
| MrUnagi | I tried DISPLAY=:0 | 02:21 |
| MrUnagi | Didn't do anything | 02:21 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Then just do vnc session. vncviewer 192.168.x.xx | 02:21 |
| gio333 | @ActionParsnip Ok , man I know that ntfs is a file system . And usually windows file system but what does it need from windows? | 02:21 |

| MrUnagi | usr13: If you were just going to default to the man page why did you wasted time | 02:34 |
| MrUnagi | Waste my | 02:34 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: It works. I don't knwo what else to tell you. I already suggested using x11vnc, but you said you could not get it to work. So be it, it's always worked for me. I've used both (x11vnc and vncserver) and they both work just fine. | 02:34 |
| MrUnagi | So you are telling me,.....you can connect....even when yo arent logged in | 02:34 |
| MrUnagi | Even though you just said I have to be logged in | 02:34 |
| collinjsimpson | Is there is a distinct security difference between 'sudo bash' and 'su'? | 02:35 |
| escott | collinjsimpson, well su doesn't work on ubuntu by default, but both start a root shell. sudo -i is probably better than sudo bash | 02:35 |
| scientes | collinjsimpson, i recommend sudo su, or sudo -i, cause sudo bash doesn't not reset the environment variables right | 02:35 |
| === PBR_Shower is now known as PinballReviewer | ||
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Yes, the machine must be running and a user logged in. I already told you that. | 02:36 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: it depends on the vnc server like x11vnc server I think you can connect down to gdm login screen | 02:36 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, you mean your server crashes 20 seconds into an ftp transfer? like a kernel oops? | 02:36 |
| MrUnagi | So then....it DOESN'T work for you | 02:36 |
| L3top_ | sudo su has env carryover issues as well | 02:36 |
| scientes | L3top_, o sorry | 02:36 |
| MrUnagi | sacarlson: It says it needs the file.......but even when I -auth......still doesn't work | 02:36 |
| MrUnagi | X11vnc maybe not compatible with lightdm? | 02:37 |
| bazhang | scientes, recommended method is sudo -i for a root shell | 02:37 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: sacarlson Well yes you can also connect and run a second (separate) session. There is that option too, but something I don't use much. | 02:37 |
| scientes | bazhang, well i've used ancient distros that dont have sudo -i | 02:37 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: So then what's the point of a remote viewer that requires you to have physical access to the remote computer | 02:37 |
| L3top_ | sudo -s ? | 02:37 |
| bazhang | scientes, understood | 02:37 |
| bazhang | L3top_, sure could do | 02:38 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: you can also setup virtual frame buffers in x11vnc where the display is not seen on the server at all | 02:38 |
| Pinkamena_D | sorry for the long response | 02:38 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: I don't know what you mean by physical access to the remote computer, but what I said was that it has to be running and the Xserver running, otherwise you will need to just initiate secure shell session. The choice is yours. | 02:38 |
| Pinkamena_D | yes, a bunch of text that does not really seem to be one single error comes up on the screen and the num lock and caps lock blink constantly | 02:39 |
| Pinkamena_D | (and its frozen to all commands) | 02:39 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: How do you remotely start xserver | 02:39 |
| MrUnagi | sacarlson: Which is stepping into things I don't know much about.....I can connect to :1 but there's no window manager | 02:39 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: If you don't have the vnc server running, you can initiate a secure shell in order to start the vnc server. Right>>>>? | 02:39 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: I did find this http://www.davelachapelle.ca/guides/ubuntu-tightvnc-server/ | 02:40 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, you need to try and read that oops message and see what it says. you could try the sysreq magic keys to see if you can flush the logs to disk | 02:40 |
| MrUnagi | Right.... | 02:40 |
| MrUnagi | Which I have done | 02:40 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: wonder why they have this config start from display=1? | 02:40 |
| MrUnagi | Vncserver wont run for : 0 | 02:40 |
| MrUnagi | Only for :1 | 02:40 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: ssh MrUnagi@192.168.1.9 #And then you can issue the command to start the vnc server of your choice. | 02:40 |
| Pinkamena_D | so the crash message is not logged automatically? What keys do i have to hit exactly? | 02:41 |
| MrUnagi | Which I have done | 02:41 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: I wonder if that file was changed to point to display 0 what would happen? | 02:41 |
| MrUnagi | Tightvncserver won't run for : 0 | 02:42 |
| escott | !sysrq | 02:42 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Then use x11vnc | 02:42 |
| MrUnagi | Boy you are helpful | 02:42 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Its up to you. Use what is easiest. | 02:42 |
| sacarlson | usr13: MrUnagi: ya or restart the one he now runs with a different config | 02:42 |
| MrUnagi | None of then are | 02:42 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, ubottu seems to be AWOL In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 02:42 |
| usr13 | scientes: You are correct. Yes | 02:42 |
| MrUnagi | X11 won't run likely because it is on the login screen | 02:43 |
| Pinkamena_D | ouch, i can try that | 02:43 |
| usr13 | sacarlson: But if he does not have the Xserver running on the server, he will not be able to conect to it. | 02:43 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: you can also change the settings of the user to have it auto login at boot | 02:44 |
| L3top_ | MrUnagi, the fact that someone is trying to help you is really quite kind... to suggest that they are wasting your time because you are not able to undertsand or make work what is made to work by them is very rude. It is not they who are wasting your time... | 02:44 |
| MrUnagi | sacarlson: Isn't that bad security? | 02:45 |
| sacarlson | usr13: yes with this tightvnc I think your correct and I'm not even sure about x11vnc on the new versions of ubuntu | 02:45 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: why is someone in your house going to access your computer? | 02:45 |
| usr13 | sacarlson: Yes, if he does not have a user logged into the Xserver, he's better off to use tightvnc (vncserver). | 02:46 |

| L3top_ | you set a persistent login pass as complicated as you like | 02:47 |
| MrUnagi | From terminal? | 02:47 |
| usr13 | On the server, you dould do vncserver :1 | 02:47 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: :1 has no dm | 02:48 |
| L3top_ | I have not backread to see your xserver issue... have you used ssh -X ? | 02:48 |
| usr13 | On the clinet, you would do vncviewer 192.168.1.x:1 | 02:48 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: I can successfully connect to :1 but there is no desktop manager | 02:49 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Yea, you will just be in a Xserver with no dm | 02:49 |
| MrUnagi | How do you start dm for :1 | 02:49 |
| Pinkamena_D | hmm,tsting it running at 100 mbits full duplex instead of 1 gigabit it has not crashed yet | 02:49 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: I don't know. Don't think you can. | 02:49 |
| MrUnagi | :( | 02:49 |
| Pinkamena_D | maybe i need to clean the dust out of something? | 02:49 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Do you really need a dm? | 02:49 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: I wonder if you do a <ctr><alt>t if a term will pop up on your vnc client? | 02:50 |
| Pinkamena_D | wow it slowed down to like no speed at all | 02:50 |
| MrUnagi | Unless you know how to fix rsync error 83 | 02:50 |

| ox1de | when i boot up i get the message: | 02:53 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: already there, thanks | 02:53 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: special characters in the file name I take it? still nothing to do with vnc but? | 02:53 |
| ox1de | "no init found" | 02:54 |

| ox1de | initramfs | 02:54 |
| Pinkamena_D | escott, i have just recreated the problem again | 02:54 |
| MrUnagi | Nautilus might copy them over | 02:54 |
| ox1de | can somebody help me? | 02:54 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Can you create an archive and then transfer them? | 02:54 |
| MrUnagi | They are in several different places | 02:55 |
| MrUnagi | Is there a way to take a list of their location and for loop them in? | 02:55 |
| phantasmoholic | how do i install ubuntu for android on my transformer prime tablet | 02:55 |
| bazhang | phantasmoholic, what is ubuntu for android | 02:57 |
| ox1de | can anybody help me??? | 02:57 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: show us the command line with this rsync in it that you attempt to do that creates this error | 02:57 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: Is there a way to take a list and for loop it into an archive | 02:57 |
| Pinkamena_D | i see alot of errors on the screen, the top one reads: [ 1555.515541] [<ffffffff812e41f4>] ? cfq_dispatch_request+0x64/0xa0 | 02:57 |

| MrUnagi | Oh | 02:58 |
| MrUnagi | Hang on | 02:58 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Creating an archive of a directory may be what you want to do. tar -czf Documents.tgz Documents/ #Will create a compressed file of the Documents/ directory. | 02:58 |
| Pinkamena_D | one is shifted over to the side like it might be important: "mwait_idle+0x95/0x210" | 02:59 |
| MrUnagi | Seems overkill for 133 mp3s | 02:59 |
| ox1de | help?! anybody??? | 02:59 |
| Pinkamena_D | but i dont really think this kind of technical info is useful to most users | 02:59 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Then, from the client just do scp MrUnagi@192.168.1.x:Documents.tgz . | 02:59 |
| Pinkamena_D | the keyboard shortcut did nothing | 02:59 |
| bazhang | !helpme | ox1de | 02:59 |
| ox1de | !helpme | 03:00 |
| ox1de | ????????/ | 03:00 |
| bazhang | ox1de, stop repeating every five seconds | 03:00 |
| ox1de | sorry.... | 03:00 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Or just ssh into the client and do: tar -czf MP3s.tgz MP3s/ | 03:01 |
| ox1de | what should i do baz? | 03:01 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: So there's no way to for loop specific ones? | 03:01 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: And then scp MP3s.tgz 192.168.1.x:Music/ | 03:01 |
| MrUnagi | For I in cat list; do | 03:01 |
| bazhang | ox1de, wait til you get a response. people see your issue and dont know the answer presently. so be patient | 03:01 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Man tar. | 03:02 |
| ox1de | ok | 03:02 |
| Pinkamena_D | did that guy quit? | 03:02 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, thats a bit lower in the stack trace than is desirable, but its evidently oopsing somewhere in the VFS layer (in particular inside the cfq dispatch). what kind of hard drives do you have on this? | 03:02 |
| Pinkamena_D | my bad | 03:02 |
| escott | ox1de, when did this start? | 03:03 |
| MrUnagi | append! | 03:03 |
| ox1de | today | 03:03 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: You could also start up an ftp server on the server end and get 'em that way. | 03:03 |
| Pinkamena_D | Their are two sata 2.5 inch 160gb ones and one SAS 2.5 inch 10k 72 gb all attached to the same SAS controller | 03:03 |
| ox1de | do u want a full synopsis of the problem? | 03:03 |
| Pinkamena_D | i have tested the ftp transfer to each of the three with the same result | 03:03 |
| MrUnagi | Tried it with sftp, that will tak forever | 03:03 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, maybe a bug in your raid controller then? | 03:04 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, assuming you are using RAID on a riser controller | 03:04 |
| Pinkamena_D | actually its not a raid controller (suprisingly). Are you suggesting a hardware issue? | 03:04 |
| escott | ox1de, i would boot the livecd and run an fsck on the root filesystem if you havent done that | 03:05 |
| ox1de | i dont have a livecd | 03:05 |
| bazhang | ox1de, then download and burn one | 03:06 |
| Pinkamena_D | the server is an IBM xseries 366, the controller is "planar" (seemingly attached by two parallel PCI-X slots) their is a slot where you can put a RAID board, but i do not have one installed. | 03:06 |
| usr13 | ox1de: Or usb | 03:06 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, its almost certainly a driver somewhere. either in the disk controller or in the ethernet controller, but based on your oops stacktrace it would seem to be the disk controller | 03:06 |
| ox1de | i have a usb flash | 03:06 |
| ox1de | drive | 03:06 |
| usr13 | ox1de: There you go. | 03:06 |
| ox1de | where can i find the file to put on the usb? | 03:06 |
| ox1de | is there a way to fix it without the usb or livecd? | 03:07 |
| escott | ox1de, follow the instructions at ubuntu.com | 03:07 |
| Pinkamena_D | i wonder why its just started when its been fine for month | 03:07 |
| Pinkamena_D | s | 03:07 |
| Pinkamena_D | but i will look into the drivers for now | 03:07 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, you could try using an older kernel | 03:07 |
| bazhang | ox1de, unetbootin to put the iso on there, or cat if it's 11.10 | 03:08 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, at the grub menu select the older kernel and see if it is stable then | 03:08 |
| usr13 | ox1de: unetbootin - installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive | 03:08 |
| usr13 | fyi | 03:08 |
| MrUnagi | After all of that I cant tar the mo3s for the same error | 03:08 |
| persona24 | Hello, I downloaded Hulu Desktop (64 bit) and installed it and it won't open. What should I do? | 03:08 |

| bazhang | plustax, which release of ubuntu | 03:13 |
| plustax | bazhang, not sure, how do I check? | 03:14 |
| plustax | im a bit noobish | 03:14 |
| persona24 | bazhang: Oh! No, it's an app. Basically instead of going to the Hulu website you can stream on the app | 03:14 |
| bazhang | plustax, lsb_release -a in the terminal | 03:14 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: Why do you have files with weird characters? | 03:14 |
| MrUnagi | They're not mine....but the chars are michael bublè and such | 03:15 |
| bazhang | persona24, yet its built for an eol ubuntu 9.04 and not supported here. contact the Hulu forums I suppose | 03:15 |
| plustax | ahh im running 10.04 | 03:15 |
| bazhang | plustax, theres no way to get gnome3 o n that | 03:15 |
| persona24 | bazhang: Hmmm odd, it worked with my other machine running 11.04 | 03:15 |
| plustax | bazhang, im running 10.04. Could you link me to what I SHOULD be running on this netbook? has 1g of ram | 03:15 |
| plustax | I would like a newer version on there | 03:16 |
| bazhang | plustax, 12.04 in a couple of weeks, you can in one step from 10.04 to 12.04 | 03:16 |
| plustax | what command do I type in terminal to update to the newest version for now? | 03:16 |
| sacarlson | MrUnagi: I just ran a test with a dir ./this with the file tõêx.txt in it and the command rsync -avz ./this ./bar ; and had no problem copying the directory | 03:16 |
| plustax | Ill upgrade to 12.04 later | 03:16 |
| MrUnagi | usr13: So it's just my terminal cant show Unicode | 03:16 |
| bazhang | plustax, it wont do it until it's released | 03:16 |
| plustax | bazhang, so there isnt a command to go from 10 to 11? | 03:17 |
| usr13 | MrUnagi: I suppose so. (I've never had such a problem.) | 03:17 |
| bazhang | plustax, you go to 10.10, but then the one-step upgrade option is lost | 03:17 |
| plustax | ahhh okay. Well I want to wipe this thing anyways to get the win partition off of here. Mind linking me to the newest netbook version available? | 03:18 |
| plustax | I tried finding it to no avail | 03:18 |
| bazhang | plustax, six month increments from 10.04 to 11.10 otherwise | 03:18 |
| bazhang | plustax, they're all netbook editions now | 03:18 |
| ox1de | my usb won't load... are you certain there isn't a way to fix the error without a usb or flash? | 03:18 |
| escott | plustax, netbook remix got folded into the main os | 03:18 |
| plustax | Like, can you link me to the 11.10 netbook edition? | 03:18 |
| ox1de | or cd i mean | 03:18 |
| drp | Does anyone know how support for 802.11n usb dongles is doing in 12.04? | 03:18 |
| plustax | ohhhhh | 03:18 |
| plustax | so if I DL 11.10 I can throw it on here with no issues then? | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | drp: #ubuntu+1 please | 03:19 |
| bazhang | drp as k in #ubuntu+1 | 03:19 |
| drp | Are there manufacturers or chipsets which are known to work well? | 03:19 |
| bazhang | plustax, sure | 03:19 |
| plustax | bazhang, think itll work well? I only have a gig of ram. | 03:19 |
| escott | ox1de, without knowing what the cause of the error is i can't say. the quickest way to figure out the actual error is... to boot a cd/usb. | 03:19 |
| drp | Thanks guys/ | 03:19 |
| bazhang | plustax, try the live cd or live usb would be my suggestion first though | 03:19 |
| plustax | okay ill make a live usb | 03:19 |
| ox1de | would you like me to post the full readout? | 03:20 |
| plustax | bazhang, last question. Should I just grab the 12.04 beta or should I wait | 03:20 |
| bazhang | ox1de, its not credible you burned the iso to usb that quickly | 03:20 |
| ox1de | well my usb flash doesnt seem to load | 03:20 |
| bazhang | ox1de, did you just drag and drop? or use unetbootin | 03:20 |
| escott | ox1de, it can't find the initrd or something.... usually for boot issues i just get a liveusb, its never seemed worth the time to try and figure out how to fix something that wont boot | 03:21 |
| bazhang | plustax, still beta, up to you | 03:21 |
| plustax | bazhang, is there any notable changes? | 03:22 |
| jamjam | is logging out w this fine? >> pkill -KILL -u $USER | 03:22 |

| ox1de | thats the readout | 03:22 |
| bazhang | ox1de, how did the iso get on there; drap and drop or using the correct tools | 03:23 |
| escott | jamjam, its more than a little indiscriminant. better to gnome-session-quit or kill your session directly | 03:23 |
| ox1de | what do u mean? | 03:23 |
| escott | bazhang, i think thats his original error. i dont think he has burned a cd | 03:23 |
| bazhang | ox1de, iso ----> usb how | 03:24 |
| bazhang | escott, he says his usb wont boot | 03:24 |
| plustax | bazhang, does the 12.04 beta 2 able to install with USB? | 03:24 |
| bazhang | plustax, sure. you could even dd it over. there are instructions for 11.10 on the ubuntu homepage that apply for 12.04 as well | 03:25 |

| plustax | dd? | 03:25 |
| wifioregon | I had virus that i got rid of manually and i think i must have screwed somehting up but i dont know what | 03:25 |
| escott | bazhang, my understanding is that ox1de 's installed (on the drive) system won't init. i suggested that he get a usb or cd to boot that and poke around, and that he doesn't know how to make a usb correctly (or perhaps his bios doesn't support it) | 03:25 |
| bazhang | wifioregon, sounds like a MAC OS X question | 03:25 |
| bazhang | escott, he's not answered, hard to say | 03:26 |

| paulus68 | ActionParsnip: what should be the easiest take the current log file rename it to a log.1 and zip and then move the log.1 to a new folder and continue to do this for each day or is there an easier way to achieve this? | 04:05 |

| CFHowlett | blue1 install LTS only and you get at least 3 years support on the desktop ... | 05:26 |
| bazhang | CFHowlett, its five for 12.04 | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | CFHowlett: Precise is 5 years desktop :) | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | bazhang: snips | 05:26 |
| Blue1 | bazhang: downloading 12.04 beta now. | 05:27 |
| Blue1 | i thought e-o-l would be when 12.04 final was released. | 05:27 |
| Artemis3 | Blue1, to prevent this in the future, try to stay with the LTS until the next LTS, ie, 10.04 LTS is still supported. | 05:30 |
| plustax | might be a dumb question here. But I DLed the 12.04 .zip | 05:33 |
| plustax | where is the iso im supposed to write to my usb stick? | 05:33 |
| plustax | or how do I turn it into an iso? | 05:33 |
| Artemis3 | what is inside this zip? | 05:34 |
| CFHowlett | plustax .zip? what the hey? where did you get that? | 05:35 |
| Artemis3 | yes im curious, i don't see any zips in the downloads... | 05:36 |
| plustax | umm | 05:39 |
| plustax | Im not sure, man | 05:39 |
| plustax | I just downloaded 12.04 from the main page and its a .zip | 05:39 |
| plustax | 700 mb or so | 05:39 |
| wylde | plustax, from what page? Share a link? | 05:39 |

| wylde | where did you get zip from? | 05:42 |
| Artemis3 | thats no zip, it ends in iso | 05:42 |
| L3top_ | perhaps hit the zsync and named it .zip? | 05:42 |
| plustax | well I just gave you the link that I personally downloaded but its icon is a zip icon | 05:42 |
| plustax | hmm | 05:42 |
| Artemis3 | ah ignre that | 05:42 |

| Artemis3 | ignore | 05:42 |
| L3top_ | iso/zip/tar | 05:42 |
| plustax | okay | 05:43 |
| KarmaComa|2 | yeah .iso maybe shown as zip icon with some zip programs | 05:43 |
| plustax | so I can just burn it? | 05:43 |
| KarmaComa|2 | its normal but ignore this and just burn it on a cd | 05:43 |
| Artemis3 | windows can associate anything to anything... if you have a program that opens zips & isos, for example. | 05:43 |

| L3top_ | is it the HP tool? | 05:46 |
| L3top_ | because I have nothing but success with that in win | 05:46 |
| Blue1 | plustax: you realise that you can dd the iso image to a usb drive, right? | 05:47 |
| plustax | Blue1, what does that mean? | 05:47 |
| KM0201 | Blue1: no need to confuse him... there's 50 tools to put a ISO on a usb... just follow the instructions on ubuntu's site | 05:48 |

| mi3 | hi! | 05:51 |
| KM0201 | plustax: just download the tool ubuntu tells you to download, and use it.. it works perfectly | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | plustax: use unetbootin, its super easy | 05:51 |
| plustax | im not seeing that tool | 05:51 |
| plustax | okay | 05:51 |
| plustax | that one | 05:51 |
| JacobVengeance | ActionParsnip, why not just use Youtube? lol | 05:51 |
| KM0201 | plustax: i think its called usb creator | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | JacobVengeance: it's my movies ripped etc, just thought it's be neat instead of streaming via samba etc. | 05:52 |
| JacobVengeance | Unetbootin is probably the easiest tool around besides classic image-usb-stick script. | 05:52 |

| JacobVengeance | KM0201, lol no. That processor doesn't support pae. Simple | 05:55 |
| Artemis3 | KM0201, windows users rarely have a working dd installed, and last time i saw a "port", they were very quirky to use. | 05:55 |
| KM0201 | ya | 05:55 |
| KM0201 | i dunno, i never got a PAE error, ever | 05:55 |
| scientes | cjs, you can use debian, it supports older cpus | 05:55 |
| Artemis3 | Xubuntu 12.04 also comes with a non PAE kernel iirc | 05:56 |
| KM0201 | cjs: how old is this cpu? | 05:56 |
| JacobVengeance | Artemis3 beat me to Xubuntu lol | 05:56 |
| KM0201 | xfce? | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: age is fairly irrelevant, its the arch you need ;) | 05:56 |
| * KM0201 throws up in his mouth a little | 05:56 | |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: yeah, i just was curious as to th eprocessor that doesn't support a pae kernel | 05:56 |
| cjs | KM0201: About seven years, I guess? It's a 1.7 GHz Pentium M, so fairly peppy. | 05:56 |
| JacobVengeance | The only computer I have that can't run pae is an aold Dell D600. | 05:56 |
| KM0201 | weird. my sister has an old 1ghz amd.. runs just fine | 05:57 |
| L3top_ | the M is a nogo for PAE. | 05:57 |
| * L3top_ bets that little D600 is an M | 05:57 | |
| JacobVengeance | My crappy desktop runs a Pentium 4 HT lol. Netbook runs an atom of course. | 05:58 |
| cjs | KM0201: And no, I have only 1 GB in the machine. The CPU either doesn't support PAE at all, or IBM disabled it. | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | my Core Duo U2500 has no issues :) | 05:58 |
| JacobVengeance | L3top_ I will look after its done syncing with repositories. | 05:58 |
| KM0201 | cjs: probably the former | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | L3top_: thought M was mobile..? | 05:59 |
| Artemis3 | I have the original eeepc, so its pentium M (will use xubuntu of course) | 05:59 |
| cjs | M is mobile, but the Pentium M is also, if I recall correctly, the basis of the Core series after the Pentium 4 architecture was abandoned. | 06:00 |
| * scientes has never had a computer >4GB that wasn't 64-bit capable | 06:01 | |
| ubuntu64bit | does it mean we not using the von-neumann Architecture? | 06:01 |
| scientes | or seen... | 06:01 |
| scientes | ubuntu64bit, no modern computers use the von-neumann arch, they use the harvard architecture | 06:02 |
| scientes | which is a varient of the von neumann | 06:02 |
| scientes | and the nx bit makes it more like the von neumann | 06:02 |
| L3top_ | M does stand for mobile... but there is a Pentium M and a Pentium 4 M, and they dropped Ms into all kinds of stuff, though its moniker indicates mobility. | 06:03 |
| ubuntu64bit | scientes: this is the first i heard of harvard architecture are you kidding me? | 06:04 |
| maslen | How do I turn off the system beep (like when I hit tab and it can't autocomplete) | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | maslen: try: sudo modprobe -r pcspkr | 06:04 |
| CFHowlett | maslen preferences>sounds | 06:04 |
| goddard | is there a way to disable the ubuntu toolbar but keep the ubuntu button? | 06:04 |
| scientes | ubuntu64bit, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_architecture | 06:05 |
| goddard | i like how the ubuntu icon was in the toolbar in the last version of ubuntu .. can i get that back? | 06:05 |
| ubuntu64bit | thx i look | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | goddard: try a different icon theme | 06:05 |
| maslen | CFHowlett: Where is that menu? I'm using gnome-classic | 06:05 |
| L3top_ | the pentium M (Yonah architecture) is basically a really strange pIII... actually runs faster than a lot of the 4s... but I expect this is why it wont do pae. | 06:05 |
| CFHowlett | maslen System>Preferences ... | 06:06 |
| scientes | ubuntu64bit, oh, sorry i got them mixed up | 06:06 |
| ActionParsnip | P3 was solid# | 06:06 |
| goddard | ActionParsnip: you remember when the ubuntu icon was in the top toolbar? not the side toolbar? | 06:06 |
| pankaj | ActionParsnip, why are u removing module? thats not a good option | 06:06 |
| cjs | scientes: You've got that backwards: most modern CPUs use Von Neumann architecture. Harvard is separate instruction and data memories, which is rare (though at least one popular Hitachi microcontroller still uses that). | 06:06 |
| scientes | cjs, see above where i realized this | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | pankaj: why, its the module for the pc speaker, nothing more, why is that bad? | 06:07 |
| scientes | cjs, the nx bit does provide some seperation however | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | goddard: you can tweak the desktop to look like gnome2 if you like? | 06:07 |
| cjs | scientes: Oh. I'm still catching up. | 06:07 |
| cjs | scientes: Not at all in the same sense. | 06:07 |
| ubuntu64bit | scientes: this looks more like something portable devices use? | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | goddard: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/ | 06:08 |
| goddard | ActionParsnip: im not talking about gnome 2 I like the screen saving of Unity. Let me see if I can find a pic of what i mean | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | pankaj: even if it causes issues (Which I garuntee it won't) you can reboot or even reload the module. | 06:08 |
| goddard | ActionParsnip: here look at this http://www.bablotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ubuntu-11.04-dash.jpg | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | pankaj: so where do you get 'not a good option' from? | 06:09 |
| ubuntu64bit | too simplistic for desktops | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | goddard: what bit a I looking at? | 06:09 |
| goddard | ActionParsnip: i want that ubuntu icon on the top left but disable the toolbar | 06:09 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 06:10 |
| goddard | ActionParsnip: i like awn dock instead | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | goddard: ohhhhh the small ubuntu icon that sits on the panel rather than the launcher | 06:10 |
| goddard | ActionParsnip: ya | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | goddard: not sure dude, I know what you mean. I think they made it bigger so its more obvious for new users | 06:10 |
| maslen | CFHowlett: Without unity, that menu doesn't exist | 06:11 |
| goddard | ActionParsnip: its a bummer it was pretty slick | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | goddard: agreed | 06:11 |
| CFHowlett | maslen sorry, I'm in 10.04. thought that gnome classic presented same as mine. Please ask the channel again. | 06:11 |
| maslen | How do I turn off the system beep (like when I hit tab and it can't autocomplete) | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | maslen: you can just run unity-panel in LXDE and the unity-launcher needs to be ran seperately :) | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | maslen: checked in sounds? | 06:12 |
| maslen | yes | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | maslen: I believe its in the volume menu, you can set the beep volume | 06:12 |
| Artemis3 | also in alsamixer... | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | masen: its in the sound options in there | 06:12 |
| alusion | Is nevernote stable? And are there any alternative note taking applications similar to evernote? | 06:12 |
| goddard | alusion: i use tomboy | 06:13 |
| maslen | ActionParsnip: Where? | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: try libreoffice, or gedit... | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | maslen: the volume icon, top right... | 06:13 |
| paulus68 | ActionParsnip: Or they want to get more seniors connected to Ubuntu :p | 06:13 |
| Artemis3 | i think there is gnote or something, identical to tomboy, using pure c and gtk... | 06:13 |
| goddard | alusion: tomboy sinks with ubuntu ones help and then use ubuntu 1 on android and them tomdroid | 06:13 |
| * L3top_ is very fond of gedit | 06:13 | |
| * ActionParsnip likes leafpad | 06:13 | |
| * L3top_ installs leafpad | 06:14 | |
| alusion | I use tomboy but it doesn't work well with clipping articles / html | 06:14 |
| maslen | ActionParsnip: That 'sound preferences' brings me to the same menu | 06:14 |
| Kris2K | hi peeps... i'm really new to linux and i have a presentation about linux shells and switches and i'm really having tough time finding resource on what switches are and how it works, if anyone can help me out please pm i'd really appreciate it | 06:14 |
| alusion | I will check out gedit and leafpad :3 | 06:14 |
| scientes | leafpad blows | 06:14 |
| Artemis3 | alusion, switch to gnote :) | 06:15 |
| KM0201 | leafpad isn't that bad. | 06:15 |
| JacobVengeance | L3top_ Yeah it is a Pentium M | 06:15 |
| JacobVengeance | No clue why my modem just crashed. | 06:15 |
| L3top_ | malsen sudo alsamixer use left and right arrow keys to find "beep" or "system" whatever and press the letter 'm' | 06:16 |
| L3top_ | pc speaker maybe | 06:16 |
| ActionParsnip | scientes: why, loads quick and does what it says on the tin | 06:16 |
| * L3top_ always assumes people have alsa-utils installed... | 06:16 | |
| Artemis3 | Kris2K, actually i have no idea what do you mean with swiches, unless you mean the smart ones used in racks; but what would that have to do with shells? | 06:17 |
| maslen | Artemis3: Perhaps he means like -l | 06:17 |
| Artemis3 | ah, those switches :) | 06:18 |

| L3top_ | I do like me some code color formatting ActionParsnip. | 06:19 |
| L3top_ | I primarily use vim... but I am chatting in support. | 06:19 |
| ActionParsnip | pankaj: so why, when people wake up from suspend, to make the wireless work they have to unload then reload the driver module to make it work? | 06:20 |
| Artemis3 | L3mce, sudo alsamixer is not a good idea... | 06:21 |
| Artemis3 | L3top_ | 06:21 |
| L3top_ | I believe it is the only way to get to pc speaker | 06:22 |

| Kris2K | guess it a good time to asked question | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Totally | 06:50 |
| Kris2K | new to linux and have a presentation about command (option) switch about how it works? | 06:51 |
| scientes | Kris2K, works like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6vYKJerstg | 06:51 |
| Kris2K | i'm been surfing the net for good amount of time but can't find any source... so i though i'd find some here | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Kris2K: so "how bash works"? | 06:52 |
| Kris2K | yes | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Kris2K: to what level, are we talking about how co | 06:53 |
| Kris2K | scientes: thanks i'm checking it out | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Commands get given to the kernel and cpu, or just an over view? | 06:53 |
| jdavis | CFHowlett: not having much luck with gimp, it doesn't seem like I can insert text into the fields. I can only create new text objects, unless I'm missing something. | 06:53 |
| scientes | Kris2K, but seriously, you mean GNU getopts? | 06:53 |
| dogarrhea2 | rename -v 's/_repaired//' *.mp3 why isn't this stripping _repaired out of my file names? | 06:53 |
| Kris2K | overview is good.... i'm new to linux | 06:54 |
| CFHowlett | jdavis precisely what I did last time I edited a pdf ... | 06:54 |
| scientes | Kris2K, getopts is the standard way to do command line switches, the --long, and -s one letters | 06:54 |

| recentlydeceased | why has maverick gone EOL and 12.04 isn't even released, surely in the past EOL has coincided with the release of the latest version? | 07:06 |
| CFHowlett | recentlydeceased not true. Release dates kind of jump around depending on what Mark wants | 07:06 |
| CFHowlett | e.g. 10.10.10 | 07:06 |
| recentlydeceased | sure, I never said the dates were fixed, but there was always a x-over in the past | 07:07 |
| recentlydeceased | hell, I remember one being released quite late | 07:07 |
| recentlydeceased | I never had an 18month old release go EOL before the latest version was available to replace it | 07:07 |
| KM0201 | recentlydeceased sure you have.. you just didn't notice | 07:08 |
| recentlydeceased | I now have a dead in the water OS. | 07:08 |
| _ruben | the release going eol and the new to be released have no corrolation whatsoever | 07:08 |
| recentlydeceased | KM0201, care to offer evidence of this happening? | 07:08 |
| KM0201 | recentlydeceased: surely you've known about this for... ever? | 07:08 |
| KM0201 | recentlydeceased: exactly what _ruben said.. there's no corrolation between the two. | 07:09 |
| KM0201 | recentlydeceased: its not dead in the water, you can upggrade to 11.04 | 07:09 |
| recentlydeceased | I'm not angry, just surprised, this leaves users in a weird position | 07:09 |
| CFHowlett | recentlydeceased dead in the water? You DID know the release only had 18 months support, right? Switch to LTS releases for extended support. | 07:09 |
| KM0201 | recentlydeceased: 10.10 was not LTS...so i'm not sure why you'd be concerned that 10.10 expired before an LTS was released | 07:09 |
| recentlydeceased | upgrade to 11.04, for about 2 weeks, then upgrade again | 07:09 |
| KM0201 | actually, he'd need to go 11.04, then 11.10, then 12.04.. | 07:10 |
| recentlydeceased | KM0201, I've never stuck with LTS releases in the past | 07:10 |
| recentlydeceased | they always sucked | 07:10 |
| recentlydeceased | KM0201, I never upgrade either | 07:10 |
| KM0201 | recentlydeceased: i didn't suggest LTS | 07:10 |
| ActionParsnip | I'd just clean install the LTS | 07:10 |
| === Karshbook is now known as hatd | ||
| recentlydeceased | fresh install | 07:10 |
| KM0201 | recentlydeceased: then what are you griping about?.. clean install 11.10 or 12.04 | 07:10 |
| recentlydeceased | ActionParsnip, yeah, always best | 07:10 |
| KM0201 | or is this all about the fact you don't want to use unity | 07:11 |
| CFHowlett | recentlydeceased for the record 12.04 will be LTS | 07:11 |
| recentlydeceased | KM0201, I'm saying that it would make sense to have a x-over | 07:11 |
| recentlydeceased | CFHowlett, I know | 07:11 |
| KM0201 | recentlydeceased: i don't see how the two relate | 07:11 |
| recentlydeceased | CFHowlett, hopefully better than the last | 07:11 |
| recentlydeceased | KM0201, because I want to install an OS once every 1.5-3 years | 07:11 |
| KM0201 | you're talking about a version that is 18mo old, and has a hard release cycle, vs. a version that is scheduled to be released later this month. | 07:11 |
| recentlydeceased | not have an OS for a week, jsut till the latest release comes out | 07:11 |
| KM0201 | i don't see why you think a non-lts should somehow "x-over" with an lts release date | 07:12 |
| KM0201 | makes no sense | 07:12 |
| * recentlydeceased is talking to a brick wall | 07:12 | |
| KM0201 | recentlydeceased: because you're not making any sense | 07:12 |
| CFHowlett | *moving on ...* | 07:12 |
| recentlydeceased | no, you're just failing to comprehend the reasoning | 07:12 |
| KM0201 | it's tough to comprehend the "incomprehensible" | 07:13 |
| recentlydeceased | where is the sense in me running an OS till the EOL, just as a new release is about to come out, but then being left with a 2 week window of no support, forcing me to install a TEMPORARY OS for 2 weeks | 07:13 |
| recentlydeceased | does this not compute? | 07:13 |
| KM0201 | no, frankly it doesn't | 07:14 |
| recentlydeceased | I don't want 11.04, if I did, I would've installed it | 07:14 |
| KM0201 | not everyone clean installs a new OS every 2-3yrs, or whatever you said you do. | 07:14 |
| recentlydeceased | insert facepalm here | 07:14 |
| recentlydeceased | 1.5/3 | 07:14 |
| recentlydeceased | normal/LTS | 07:14 |
| KM0201 | most folks either: stay lTS, or stay current... | 07:14 |
| elky | recentlydeceased, you're not talking to the release managers, nor canonical support. You're talking to volunteers who support what is given within the limitations available. | 07:15 |
| * CFHowlett has *moved on* ... | 07:15 | |
| Flannel | recentlydeceased: You could just coast on 10.10 for a few weeks. It's not going to stop working, just no more updates. You can't upgrade directly from 10.10 to 12.04 anyway, so you'll need to do some intermediate updates or get prepared for a reinstall anyway. | 07:15 |
| recentlydeceased | 11.04 was when Unity was introduced, 11.10 was unity too, hopefully 12.04 is a better experience than the last 2 | 07:15 |
| KM0201 | why do you think 10.10 EOL release date, would have any correlation at all to 12.04's release date, i just don't get it.. makes no sense to me. | 07:15 |
| recentlydeceased | Flannel, I know, I just never had this happen before, there was always a x-over (or so I thought) in the past, since dapper | 07:16 |
| auronandace | recentlydeceased: you do realise dapper was delayed by 2 months | 07:16 |
| GirlyGirl | recentlydeceased: You can go for Kubuntu or Xubuntu if you dislike unity. I'm on KDE myself and you can easily customise it to resemble gnome 2. I believe the same goes for XFCE | 07:16 |
| recentlydeceased | KM0201, because I've been using this since Dapper, and never seen this before, that's why I ask, and if what you say is true, I only ask for evidence to corroborate | 07:16 |
| recentlydeceased | *since* dapper | 07:17 |
| recentlydeceased | GirlyGirl, yeah, I know, thanks though | 07:17 |
| recentlydeceased | I have tried and run all of those DE's | 07:17 |
| recentlydeceased | KDE is much better as of 4.6, but still a little bloated for my wants/needs | 07:18 |
| GirlyGirl | recentlydeceased: Trying it in the past does not count. Have you tried the latest versions recently on a new release? | 07:18 |
| recentlydeceased | GirlyGirl, ^^ | 07:18 |
| recentlydeceased | It is *much* better yes | 07:18 |
| recentlydeceased | but I thing Gnome is verging on bloat... tempted by awesome or xmonad | 07:19 |
| KM0201 | verging? | 07:19 |
| GirlyGirl | recentlydeceased: I'd suggest giving them a new try when 12.04 comes out. At least for me KDE 4.8.2 is more usable and faster than gnome 3 shell and unity | 07:19 |
| recentlydeceased | Unity is bloat too, but I hear 12.04 is supposed to be much better than previous iterations | 07:19 |
| recentlydeceased | GirlyGirl, I will ;) | 07:20 |
| recentlydeceased | KM0201, yes, verging | 07:20 |
| recentlydeceased | Shell runs far better than Unity on 11.10 | 07:20 |
| KM0201 | hmm, i would consider it well more than "verging" on being bloated... it's driving the "bloated" bus | 07:20 |
| recentlydeceased | I know, I have that too on various other machines | 07:20 |
| recentlydeceased | have you tried KDE | 07:20 |
| recentlydeceased | ? | 07:20 |
| KM0201 | yes, but.. i'm not a fair judge, i've never liked KDE in 10yrs.. ever | 07:21 |
| recentlydeceased | well, by comparison it is slimline | 07:21 |
| Flannel | recentlydeceased: Releases have traditionally been the last thursday of the month, so there's some time for gaps. 7.04 EOLd a few weeks prior to 8.10, 7.10 EOLd a week before 9.04 was released, I'm not going to grep my emails any more :) | 07:21 |
| KM0201 | but, but, that never happened! | 07:21 |
| recentlydeceased | Flannel, thank you, that is all I wanted to know ;) | 07:21 |
| recentlydeceased | Flannel, there was a popup last night in my updates, never seen it before... that's why I asked | 07:22 |
| KittyTeeth | If I cut and paste some text can I then put it into a pdf and put it in my pdf files? | 07:22 |
| Flannel | recentlydeceased: teh reason they're uncoupled (or more specifically, not related at all really) is because you can't hop from release N to release N+3. | 07:22 |
| GirlyGirl | KittyTeeth: Libreoffice can export to pdf | 07:23 |
| recentlydeceased | Flannel, maybe I should propose this in brainstorm... it makes sense to offer support for a couple of weeks just for those users who time their next install with releases | 07:23 |
| KittyTeeth | will try. thanks | 07:23 |
| Flannel | recentlydeceased: There is... there's 12 months of overlap. | 07:23 |
| recentlydeceased | Flannel, sure, but upgrades are for suckers anyhow! ;) | 07:23 |
| KM0201 | i thought openoffice could print to PDF also?... i could have swore i done that w/ OO as well. | 07:24 |
| CFHowlett | KM0201 export to pdf IIRC | 07:24 |
| recentlydeceased | Never had an upgrade go smoothly, clean installs have been faster and less hassle | 07:24 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 07:24 |
| CFHowlett | KM0201 confirmed - export as PDF | 07:25 |
| metaladdict | hi, i have the following command diff new.txt old.txt | grep '<'^> > hello.txt | 07:25 |
| metaladdict | but it isnt working proberly\ | 07:25 |
| recentlydeceased | Flannel, I've run 2 several versions to EOL before, and then installed the latest release both times, maybe I'm a minority... staved of Unity for as long as possible on my main machine | 07:25 |
| KM0201 | CFHowlett: ok, i thought it could ( i know i've done it lots of times w/ Libre, was pretty sure i done it with OO as well) | 07:25 |
| metaladdict | diff new.txt old.txt | grep '<'^> hello.txt* | 07:25 |
| Flannel | recentlydeceased: I suggest you stick with LTS. | 07:25 |
| Flannel | recentlydeceased: Luckily, 12.04 is LTS. But with LTS there's a whole year of overlap when the next one comes out (12.04 will have a few years, actually) | 07:26 |
| metaladdict | it should look up the diffrence between new.txt and old.txt and put them into hello.txt but only the diffrence | 07:26 |
| recentlydeceased | Flannel, but 8.04 sucked, as did 10.04 ;) | 07:27 |
| karthick87 | Is it possible to findout ubuntu installation date ? | 07:27 |
| recentlydeceased | 7.10 was awesome, 8.10 was awesome, 10.10 was awesome too | 07:27 |
| KM0201 | i thought 8.04 and 8.10 were crap. | 07:27 |
| recentlydeceased | anyhow, thanks folks, gtg to work | 07:27 |
| goddard | when looking in the ubuntu manager what is the "Source Code" check box for? | 07:27 |
| KM0201 | 9.04 was the next version i used | 07:28 |
| Flannel | recentlydeceased: Well, you're just going to be stuck with some upgrade gaps then. | 07:28 |
| recentlydeceased | KM0201, 8.04 was, sure ;) | 07:28 |
| recentlydeceased | Flannel, yeah, not the end of the world, just EOL! | 07:28 |
| triscuit | you'll miss precious security updates | 07:28 |
| recentlydeceased | oh noes | 07:28 |
| triscuit | you gonna get hacked | 07:28 |
| metaladdict | Could anyone help me witht the following: diff new.txt old.txt | grep '<'^> hello.txt , it should find the diffrence between new.txt and old.txt and put it into hello.txt BUT it isnt doing anything to hello.txt | 07:29 |
| wylde | metaladdict, you'd probably have better luck asking in #bash | 07:30 |
| metaladdict | okay, wil do | 07:30 |
| goddard | when looking in the ubuntu manager what is the "Source Code" check box for? | 07:32 |
| lancesrage | can someone tell me why i cant update my ubuntu? | 07:32 |
| goddard | lancesrage: not without more info | 07:32 |
| CFHowlett | lancesrage version #?? | 07:32 |
| jrib | goddard: in software manager you mean? | 07:33 |
| goddard | jrib: ya | 07:33 |
| jrib | goddard: that gives you access to the source code for the packages in ubuntu's non-restricted repositories | 07:33 |
| jrib | !source | goddard | 07:33 |
| ubottu | goddard: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 07:33 |
| fidel | lancesrage: error-output? | 07:33 |
| lancesrage | i had to wipe my computer today i have 9.04 installed and go to the update manager and click update trying to get back to old version i was on and it said it was not found | 07:33 |
| CFHowlett | !eol|lancesrage | 07:34 |
| ubottu | lancesrage: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 07:34 |
| goddard | jrib: thats the same version as getting it from the developers website? | 07:34 |
| fidel | lancesrage: 9.04? why arent you updating to some "at least somehow" current version? just curious | 07:34 |
| CFHowlett | lancesrage 9.04 is end of life - for quite some time now. | 07:34 |
| fidel | its like using win98 those days ;) | 07:34 |
| goddard | Arch never goes EOL just a heads up | 07:35 |
| jrib | goddard: it gets you the source for the package, which includes the original software untainted from upstream plus the packaging information (which may include ubuntu/debian-specific patches to the software) | 07:35 |
| goddard | jrib: i see | 07:35 |

| === dontworry is now known as DontWorry | ||
| fidel | you should consider jumping to 11.10 - 12.04 will come out in this month as well | 07:38 |
| lancesrage | ubottu so the only way to upgrade is with another disk from a later version? | 07:38 |
| CFHowlett | lancesrage download 10.04 or 11.10. Both allow for direct update to 12.04 in a few weeks or stay with 10.04 as it has another year of support. | 07:38 |
| fidel | lancesrage: ubottu is a bot | 07:39 |

| Timvde | I will be getting back my laptop from repair today. I think it's kinda stupid to install 11.10 now and reinstall in two weeks (I prefer fresh installs). If I install 12.04, will it just upgrade to the stable version and keep me there, or will I be stuck on development releases? | 08:07 |

| sacarlson | benjick: it apears that php5 is already released all the way down for to lucid 10.04 | 08:31 |
| meet | i have got a 10 yr old pc with winxp. was planning to install ubuntu 10.10 (as i experienced it to be less resource consuming.) but should i go with lubuntu ? | 08:32 |
| almoxarife | benjick: your suggestion for 'htop' was useful, thanks, lots of info that comes in handy, but if there is a way to capture text from the terminal window i can't find it. | 08:32 |
| comgen | meet : I run Lubuntu on most machines & several servers - good spin regardless of resources | 08:33 |
| meet | is it lighter than ubuntu 10.10 as they claim? | 08:33 |
| benjick | sacarlson: But there are so old versions | 08:33 |
| comgen | meet : yes is the short answer | 08:34 |
| JohnnyricoMC | My problem is: whenever my preseed-install reaches the tasksel-step, it fails: tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ubuntu-desktop | 08:34 |
| sacarlson | benjick: yes you can install php4 also if you want old ones also | 08:34 |
| JohnnyricoMC | And I get a screen saying the failing step is "Select and install software" | 08:34 |
| benjick | sacarlson: Well, i want the newest, of course | 08:34 |
| meet | thanks comgen | 08:35 |
| sacarlson | benjick: some software will only run in old, it's all a mater of what you want to run | 08:35 |
| JohnnyricoMC | anyone have any ideas? What my own googling returned as suspect is partitioning, but I need the preseed file to automatically partition the disk (just use whole disk, wipe anything else on there) | 08:35 |
| Yaron-Heb | Guys, any idea how do I switch VLC's UI Language? (I tried LANG=he_IL.UTF-8, didn't work) | 08:35 |

| JohnnyricoMC | http://pastie.org/3772976 this is the preseed, I've been replacing tabs with spaces as I was suspecting those | 08:40 |
| Stormx2 | Issue 2: as of 11.10 my proprietary nvidia drivers completely mess up when running minecraft after a certain (seemingly random) interval. Whole DE slows down to a halt in a matter of seconds, with everything frozen after that. If I'm quick enough I can Ctrl+Alt+F1 and kill minecraft. Sometimes it just immediately blackscreens, forcing me to do a hard reboot. | 08:41 |

| Stormx2 | (card is an 8800GTX, works fine in 11.04 and prior) | 08:42 |
| sacarlson | JohnnyricoMC: seems I saw some other people having problems with preeseed, I thought I saw another method other than preseed that debian used | 08:46 |
| JohnnyricoMC | sacarlson, ubuntu is indeed supposed to support kickstart, but I tried that and couldn't get ubuntu to obey the kickstart-file | 08:47 |

| sacarlson | abhinavmehta: did you look in synaptic for your linux kernel of choice? you can install it from there. if you don't see what you want in the list check the ppa | 09:02 |

| abhinavmehta | Shape: than Ubuntu 11.10 or Fedora 16 both are good for you.. | 09:09 |
| lucky105 | hi | 09:09 |
| codemaniac | how can i senf from an alias address in gmail | 09:10 |
| abhinavmehta | Shape: you can use either of them coz if you learn any one of them, you will learn other too very easily | 09:10 |
| Shape | abhinavmehta I have heard fedora is harder to learn and not that user friendly is that correct? | 09:10 |

| abhinavmehta | Shape: not really, its just installing stuff using rpm is little complex….but once you get it…its very smooth. | 09:11 |
| abhinavmehta | Shape: and soon when you become amateur you will like to build/install things manually or from source…with more firm control on every pkg/app you have. | 09:11 |
| Shape | abhinavmehta Do you recommend any literature? Is this book good? Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming, A (2nd Edition) ? | 09:13 |

| JohnnyricoMC | I just made a centOS-VM for cobbler | 09:41 |
| sacarlson | JohnnyricoMC: in my pxe boot it just comes up like a live cd and it's all manual to install, so I'm going to try this preseed method to install to a virtualbox presents | 09:41 |
| JohnnyricoMC | then configured DNSmasq to only give out dhcp-leases to virtual machines (specific MAC-prefix) | 09:42 |
| JohnnyricoMC | and whenever I boot a VM into PXE, I get a blue selection menu to pick which installation profile I want | 09:42 |
| sacarlson | JohnnyricoMC: I've already use dhcp3 and will make the needed changes there | 09:42 |

| sw | Psytonic: there's no need to keep evaluating everything compared to Windows - it's not as if it's a standard for anything ;-) | 10:50 |
| Psytonic | sw: he was asking about windows | 10:51 |
| Psytonic | ...sorta | 10:51 |
| Psytonic | maybe I should just find my memory management bugs instead of installing toos to do it for me... | 10:52 |

| hamacii | hello, i've tried using hamachi on linux with http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/hamachi but every time i try to enter a command i get "This is an online operation and you are not logged in" | 10:53 |
| ax562 | yeah but what website should i use | 10:55 |
| ax562 | noon | 10:55 |
| ax562 | noob | 10:55 |
| OerHeks | hamacii, well, open an account & login first ? | 10:55 |
| hamacii | OerHeks: you don't need an account to use hamachi | 10:56 |
| OerHeks | hamacii, yes you do, with logmein | 10:56 |
| hamacii | OerHeks: no i've started hamachi on my windows computer and i didn't have to create an account | 10:57 |
| hamacii | OerHeks: sudo hamachi login -> Logging in ..... failed | 10:57 |
| hamacii | OerHeks: maybe the problem is that i'm behind the workplace firewall or something? | 10:58 |
| Psytonic | logging in usually requires a username and password somewhere | 10:58 |
| Psytonic | otherwise they usually call it something else | 10:58 |
| sw | yes, or there's no point in the logging in part ... | 10:58 |
| Psytonic | like...connect | 10:59 |
| sw | hamacii: can you '$ man hamachi' and scroll down to the login part and read it, please? :-) | 10:59 |
| hamacii | sw: http://i.imgur.com/e9J5a.png | 10:59 |
| hamacii | there's nothing about logging in there: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/hamachi you just start hamachi and connect to the network the other person created | 11:00 |
| hamacii | with the correct password | 11:00 |
| hamacii | with sudo hamachi join NETWORK PASSWORD | 11:01 |

| Bndrr | DMJC, what ? | 11:17 |
| ikonia | jasonmsp: thats a database file, depends what type of database | 11:18 |
| jasonmsp | its a contacts database from evolution's addressbook | 11:18 |
| jasonmsp | I want to see if I can pull data in manually | 11:19 |
| ikonia | jasonmsp: I think (not sure that's sqlite) | 11:19 |
| ikonia | jasonmsp: you need to find out what type of database it is first, before progressing anything else | 11:19 |
| DMJC | I got DNS lookups working correctly from A-B-internet | 11:20 |
| DMJC | but I can't ping hosts from A | 11:20 |
| DMJC | I can ping stuff on my internal network, but not internet hosts. | 11:20 |
| ikonia | DMJC: sounds like your gateway is not forwarding packets | 11:21 |
| DMJC | ikonia? it is | 11:22 |
| ikonia | DMJC: how do you know ? | 11:22 |

| DMJC | laptop can ping PC and PC can ping laptop but PC can't ping internet | 11:36 |
| ikonia | DMJC: right, so your gateway machine is not routing / forwarding packets | 11:36 |
| DMJC | PC can resolve DNS tho | 11:36 |
| ikonia | DMJC: the laptop/PC can talk to each other as they are on the same network | 11:36 |
| DMJC | yes | 11:37 |
| fishcooker | zvacet : suppose that im windows user migration new | 11:37 |
| zvacet | mzcl-mn: np | 11:37 |
| ikonia | DMJC: right, so the laptop/pc pinging each other has no relevence | 11:37 |
| DMJC | ok | 11:37 |
| ikonia | DMJC: the bottom line is the device you are using as a gateway machine is not forwarding packets to the router, OR the router is not forwarding packets for anything not directly connected to it | 11:37 |

| mzcl-mn | zvacet: you're right | 11:38 |

| DMJC | I haven't studied routing in ages, what should the gateway be configured to do? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | DMJC: the machine you are using as a gateway has to forward packaets via routing to the public internet, which means it has to forward packets to the router | 11:40 |
| DMJC | I've enabled IPv4 forwarding | 11:40 |
| JensenDan | and now crash.. brb | 11:40 |
| ikonia | DMJC: that's not routing | 11:40 |
| DMJC | ok | 11:40 |
| zvacet | mzcl-mn: all I can find googling fast look at http://www.googlubuntu.com/ type what are you looking for and hope for the best | 11:40 |

| ericP | dlentz, what's the mechanism for installing precise's 1.48 in oneric? | 12:28 |
| fidel | Guest79298: as you are asking that in multiple channels - it is possible in MS excel and most likely as well in libre/oo. but i cant tell you how ;) | 12:29 |
| dlentz | just grab the .deb's from ubuntu packages and install them (i don't see any conflicts since they're separate packages and don't depend on anything ultra-recent) | 12:30 |

| Bndrr | I know. | 12:47 |

| Epyc | that's not the issue... it should work, shouldn't it | 12:53 |

| eugzol | # off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window | 13:57 |
| eugzol | # should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt. I want to run 'git/svn blame' or something on them and know the name of the bastard who first introduced them into default bashrc, so that I have a chance to get revenge someday. How do I do that? | 13:57 |

| zxiest | Do you guys know how I can extend my sda1? I'm using gparted live | 14:30 |
| escott | zxiest, you probably need to resize the extended partition (which is tricky because the swap is likely inside the extended). the gui might allow you to do that without messing up the swap, but if the only thing in the extended partition is the swap it might be easier to just delete it and create a new one | 14:30 |
| zxiest | escott I moved the swap to the right hand side | 14:30 |

| === SwedishMustard is now known as enchilado | ||
| tutysra | yes it is 64 bit capable | 14:32 |
| escott | zxiest, i think i know what is going on. it looks like [sda1 [ unallocated sda5 (swap)] ] what you aren't realizing tis that [unallocated swap] is itself a partition called an extended partition, and so you cannot increase the size of sda1 without making the extended partition smaller | 14:32 |

| === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou | ||
| MonkeyDust | ezoe depends on how you upgrade | 14:44 |
| tutysra | @escott - in the bios menu which is got at startup by pressing F1 there are options to change to allow non-EFI boot, the community documentation(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/X120e#Installation) recommends it and I do not know how to allow non-EFI boot, I had tried various combinations in my bios settings like - (Both, EFI, Legacy) but none worked. If setting up a bios-grub partition is an easy option then I can give it a try. | 14:45 |
| MonkeyDust | ezoe if you fresh install, you'll have to be sure to have backed up the installed programmes | 14:46 |
| auronandace | MonkeyDust: i think you mean programs, programmes are something you watch | 14:47 |
| MarKsaitis | auronandace, does it? But thats impossible on a minimal sys? | 14:47 |
| escott | tutysra, if you have a gpt partition the space following the mbr is not guaranteed to be empty and so grub cannot embed its stage2 files in that space. a small partition with the grub_bios flag is required to tell grub where it can embed stage two when booting with an mbr on a gpt partition. see rodsbooks.com for lots of details | 14:47 |
| MarKsaitis | no GUi no nothing | 14:47 |
| ezoe | yes. I know. I mean, upgrade, I'm planning to upgrade by using Ubuntu's built-in upgrade feature. without using ISO. | 14:47 |

| MonkeyDust | ezoe delete the PPA and then sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:02 |
| intore___ | escott: iceweasel, ooffice | 15:02 |
| raven | auronandace how to verify if gpu support is enabled? | 15:03 |
| ezoe | MonkeyDust: what if I installed a software that isn't exist in 11.10 repository, but exist in 12.04. | 15:03 |
| MonkeyDust | ezoe dunno about 12.04 | 15:04 |
| auronandace | raven: not sure sorry, i use nvidia | 15:04 |
| escott | intore___, why do you want iceweasal and ooffice? in any case i think what you want to do is modify things with alacarte, but its not clear exactly what you want to accomplish | 15:04 |
| ezoe | there are a lot of new softwares added to 12.04. well, I can remove them manually, But I wonder if there is a simple way to remove all software from a given PPA. | 15:04 |

| MonkeyDust | ezoe maybe the channel #ubuntu+1 knows | 15:05 |
| escott | !ppa-purge | ezoe | 15:05 |
| ubottu | ezoe: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 15:05 |
| ezoe | the definition of "back to default" is interesting. | 15:06 |
| opalepatrick | how do install a package from a precise repo? I use 11.10 | 15:06 |
| auronandace | opalepatrick: you don't, unless you want to break stuff | 15:06 |
| ezoe | well, I should read ppa-purge script. | 15:07 |
| raven | Aopen XCcube + 11.10 how to verify if gpu support is enabled? | 15:07 |
| ezoe | MonkeyDust: #ubuntu+1? is that a channel name? | 15:07 |
| opalepatrick | wondered auronandace - I need gtk+2.0 2.24.10 or greater to install gimp2.8rc1 | 15:07 |
| MonkeyDust | ezoe yes, for all things 12.04, type /join #ubuntu+1 | 15:08 |
| ezoe | /join #ubuntu+1 | 15:08 |
| ezoe | oops | 15:08 |
| intore___ | escott: ok. am not very clear! i installed an ldap server on a ubuntu server. clients are ubuntu also. every user will login with his credentials and they'll be verificated on the ldap server. every user will have his home directory and i want iceweasel and ooffice also. | 15:08 |

| intore___ | escott: you think is it good for my network? | 15:11 |
| ezoe | hmm ppa-purge remove all packages from a given PPA, then reinstall it from official repository. | 15:11 |
| ezoe | so, if it doesn't exist in official repository, it simply not installed at all. | 15:11 |
| ezoe | I guess. | 15:11 |

| === _chris is now known as Guest45388 | ||
| === Guest45388 is now known as MITM | ||

| escott | Yaaaaaa, you probably need to switch the phone to usb mass storage mode | 15:15 |
| intore___ | escott: ldap will keep default files from /etc/skel/ | 15:15 |
| Yaaaaaa | escott: ok I'll look around I'm looking under "storage" but all I see is unmount sd card. format. | 15:16 |
| MarKsaitis | so, on ubuntu 12.04 beta, will I have an option to uprade to full when its out after 2 weeks? | 15:16 |
| escott | intore___, sure, but what does iceweasal/ooo have to do with /etc/skel | 15:16 |
| auronandace | !final | MarKsaitis | 15:17 |
| ubottu | MarKsaitis: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. | 15:17 |
| === Nnnn_N_N_N is now known as n7 | ||
| MarKsaitis | auronandace, thanx a million! =) | 15:18 |
| intore___ | escott: i thought must put .iceweasel and .ooffice in skel to have these program availables for the users | 15:18 |
| intore___ | escott: am i wrong? | 15:18 |
| escott | intore___, yes | 15:18 |
| ezoe | I guess I'll wait until it's really released. | 15:18 |
| ezoe | though, it's tempting to try it now. | 15:19 |
| econdudeawesome | Howdy! Got a question about file system behavior. I have a main partition mounted at /, and another partition (much much larger) mounted at /home/<user>/docs. Would this cause the "subpartition" to have the same remaining space as the partition mounted at /? | 15:19 |
| intore___ | escott: i thought was a good idea to have the programs on the server only | 15:19 |
| econdudeawesome | I'm trying to figure out what is going on here, as I have 11.51 GB left (only) for BOTH partitions, and adding to the larger subpartition removes space from the main partition | 15:19 |
| SubD | Question. Can't I install zentyal trough terminal? | 15:19 |
| raven | Aopen XCcube + 11.10 how to verify if gpu support is enabled? | 15:20 |
| intore___ | escott: which is the better way? | 15:20 |
| intore___ | escott: have programs on the clients? | 15:20 |
| escott | intore___, in order to use a program (a) it must be installed (b) you want a listing in the gui (which is known as a desktop file in gnome/kde) | 15:20 |
| Yaaaaaa | escott I don't see an option anywhere -__- thanks for the tip though I'll keep looking | 15:20 |
| MonkeyDust | !zentyal| SubD | 15:20 |
| ubottu | SubD: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 15:20 |
| auronandace | econdudeawesome: what is the output of mount? | 15:21 |
| intore___ | escott: what do you mean with "a listing"? | 15:22 |
| escott | intore___, ~/.ooffice does not contain any programs. it only contains the users local preferences (like what menu options should be shown, and where files should be saved, and what the most recent edited files were, etc) | 15:22 |
| econdudeawesome | auronandace: http://pastebin.com/5athXLmU | 15:22 |
| SubD | MonkeyDust so I cant install zentyal? only ebox? I know they have been joined, but I thought that zentyal was the new ebox | 15:22 |
| escott | intore___, a desktop file contains the name of the program (with multiple translations), the path to the binary, and what icon should be used in the gui/launcher when the user searches for the application | 15:23 |
| econdudeawesome | auronandace: looking at sda1 and sda3 | 15:23 |
| intore___ | escott: so i've to install ooffice and iceweasel directly on the clients? | 15:23 |
| auronandace | econdudeawesome: what is the size of sda1 and sda3 | 15:23 |
| MonkeyDust | SubD it is | 15:24 |
| econdudeawesome | roughly 50 GB and 100GB, respectively | 15:24 |
| escott | intore___, it depends on what you want to do. you could install directly to the clients, or you could serve the installed location over NFS to each of the clients | 15:24 |
| mysticalone | Is there a channel for 12.04 ? | 15:25 |
| MonkeyDust | mysticalone #ubuntu+1 | 15:25 |
| mysticalone | much obliged | 15:25 |
| auronandace | econdudeawesome: adding stuff to sda3 should only reduce the free space left of sda3, it shouldn't affect the size of sda1 | 15:25 |
| soa2ii | I tried the installation of 12.04 beta2 (since it's big on ubuntu.com I thought it won't be that bad) … there kernel module problems in combination with the network install (not that bad, you can work around that) but in the end the grun installation simply fails and I have no idea why. Any suggestions? | 15:26 |
| SubD | MonkeyDust allright, but i've been reading up on some manuals online regarding installation and setups, still most of the setups are made for zentyal and are different then from ebox. | 15:26 |

| GirlyGirl_ | DJdurr: What graphic card do you have? | 15:27 |
| DJdurr | Uhm.. | 15:28 |
| DJdurr | I can try to find out | 15:28 |
| intore___ | escott: i don't understand about your second solution. you mean to installed the programs on the server, in a nfs and the tell to client the path to find them? | 15:28 |
| econdudeawesome | auronandace: (its a personal computer, I have full admin access) | 15:28 |
| mi3 | the menu tab on my xchat window got removed accidentally, how can I get them back? any suggestions? | 15:28 |

| raven | GirlyGirl_ more important verification please - unity is no indicator | 15:28 |

| econdudeawesome | auronandace: much thanks. I may be back, but I'm comfortable in fstab so hopefully got it from here. Thanks again! | 15:29 |
| econdudeawesome | whoooooo | 15:29 |
| econdudeawesome | cyf: might want to change that password now | 15:29 |
| escott | intore___, yes. whether or not that is worth doing is another question. if you are managing a package manually it might be easier to just setup one install on a server, and export that as a read-only nfs mount in /opt | 15:29 |
| Yaaaaaa | escott: thanks for the tip! it wasn't seeming to work through my front usb ports so I switched to back and it asked me if I wanted to enable storage. got it all setup in fstab. | 15:29 |
| GirlyGirl_ | cyf: first msg and indentify ... two errors | 15:30 |
| GirlyGirl_ | hopefully the password has a typo too | 15:30 |

| DJdurr | Hmm.. I have a AMD A-4 with Radeon processor(or somthing..). | 15:32 |
| intore___ | escott: am sorry for my ignorance. what are the difference to export an installation and a read-only fs? | 15:32 |
| escott | intore___, i don't know how i can answer that. all you need to be able run a program is to be able to read the binary, and for all the required libraries to be available. it doesn't matter where those files are so long as they can be read | 15:35 |
| Geforce88 | is there a channel for grub ? | 15:36 |
| ikonia | yes #grub | 15:36 |
| Geforce88 | thx | 15:37 |
| intore___ | escott: but you told me about two possibility, to export or read-only fs | 15:39 |
| === GirlyGirl is now known as cyf | ||
| escott | intore___, and you misread them. (a) is install locally (b) is export a network install | 15:40 |
| === cyf is now known as GirlyGirl | ||
| === L3top_ is now known as L3top | ||
| intore___ | escott: ah, sorry. how to export a network install? | 15:41 |
| escott | intore___, you would setup the install on the server and then mount the folders via nfs to some location like /opt. then you probably want to create desktop files that point to your binaries in /opt and put those on each client | 15:43 |
| MonkeyDust | intore___ how skilled are you? | 15:44 |
| intore___ | MonkeyDust: not to much, this is the first time am doing this thing | 15:45 |
| BryanRuiz | wow | 15:46 |

| BryanRuiz | hey, i want to move my hard drive to a new computer? is this a simple thing to do? | 15:47 |
| MonkeyDust | KittyTeeth | 15:47 |
| intore___ | escott: with samba is it possible also i think | 15:48 |
| KittyTeeth | ok, you said b4 to change MM to M. | 15:48 |
| MonkeyDust | !clone| BryanRuiz | 15:48 |
| ubottu | BryanRuiz: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 15:48 |
| t432 | Houston we have a problem! | 15:48 |
| BryanRuiz | MonkeyDust: Id rather just move the hard drive | 15:49 |
| MonkeyDust | KittyTeeth no, to press m when you see MM | 15:49 |
| KittyTeeth | I have Master, PCM, and Front MI which have MM | 15:49 |
| MonkeyDust | MM stands for Mute | 15:49 |
| BryanRuiz | MonkeyDust: but not sure if thats dangerous or not | 15:49 |
| t432 | command "javac" returns "bash: /usr/bin/javac: No such file or directory" | 15:49 |
| KittyTeeth | oh | 15:49 |
| KittyTeeth | When I put M inplace of MM 00 comes up | 15:50 |
| intore___ | escott: do you think is better have the programs on every client or on the server? | 15:50 |
| escott | intore___, i don't want to sound too critical, but you are clearly in a bit over your head. I'm sure you could eventually figure things out and might learn a fair bit in the long term, but its also not clear why you want to do what you are proposing. Why not just use libreoffice which is included in apt? | 15:50 |
| MonkeyDust | KittyTeeth arrow keys to increase the level | 15:50 |
| KittyTeeth | which level would you recommend? | 15:51 |
| naryfa1 | hi | 15:51 |
| MonkeyDust | KittyTeeth it's your pc, your ears, cannot decide for you | 15:51 |
| naryfa1 | : | 15:51 |
| intore___ | escott: what is not clear? | 15:52 |
| escott | intore___, what is better depends on a lot of factors. (a) do the clients have the hard disk space? (b) how do you want to manage the software installation (apt vs manual)? (c) are you running consistent versions of the OSes on all desktops? etc... | 15:52 |
| naryfa1 | Does anybody know what's the advantage of using something like moblock or ipblock? Does this stuff really help?? | 15:52 |
| KittyTeeth | ok | 15:53 |
| locodir | i want to clear all text present in log file ...what should i do | 15:53 |
| locodir | how to clear all contents of log files | 15:53 |
| escott | intore___, since you can install libreoffice on all machines via apt, i would do that unless you have a reason not to do so | 15:53 |
| KittyTeeth | Working! Thanks for the lesson MonkeyDust. | 15:54 |
| MonkeyDust | !yay| KittyTeeth | 15:54 |

| escott | intore___, so i guess i repeat my very first question again: why do you want iceweasel and ooffice? --- since you don't seem to have a reason for openoffice, i'll assume the same is true of iceweasel and tell you to use firefox | 15:59 |
| intore___ | escott: i don't have any preferences, i trust you! | 16:00 |

| GirlyGirl | *"destroy the OS" | 16:27 |
| whoever | dlentz: no , won't -P also unistall and clean | 16:27 |
| diki | GirlyGirl:I did mention what I did | 16:27 |
| diki | I tried to increase Oneiric's swap file, by following a karmic koala guide | 16:28 |
| GirlyGirl | diki: Very vague ... mention the commands you ran and changes you made. | 16:28 |
| whoever | diki: what what did you do i came in after your OP | 16:28 |
| auronandace | diki: by default there is no swap file, it usually is a swap partition | 16:29 |
| GirlyGirl | diki can you link this guide? | 16:29 |
| auronandace | diki: also following instructions for a release from 2008 for a 2011 distro isn't always that smart | 16:29 |
| dlentz | whoever, dpkg -P ? | 16:29 |
| auronandace | diki: 11.04 is natty, 11.10 is oneiric | 16:30 |
| beandog | how do you guys even remember which version is which name? drives me crazy. | 16:30 |
| GirlyGirl | diki: Also you can't destroy the OS with such a change | 16:30 |

| escott | beandog, they are alphabetical for one | 16:31 |
| GriGi | Hi, I got little question. What music player do you use? Im using Rhythmbox and I like it, but I want to have cover flow. I was trying to install some plugin to rhythmbox but it doesn't work (as I read on the net, many people can't install it). What is good music player for Ubuntu, which have cover art, or at least let me somehow browse through my music with covers? Rhythmbox got only ugly list of albums :( | 16:31 |
| auronandace | beandog: i prefer the numbers to the names, you get used to it after a while, especially when you know the major changes | 16:31 |
| beandog | I guess I'm too new to notice. :T | 16:31 |
| GirlyGirl | GriGi: I use Amarok and Clementine ... but I think you might like tomahawk | 16:32 |
| despe70 | I've enabled postgresql to log to syslog, with "syslog_facility = 'local0'". I've changed my /etc/syslog.conf so it contains "local0.* -/var/log/pgsql". I've restarted syslog with "/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart" However, when postgresql is reloaded, the messages are appended to /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog ... | 16:32 |
| MonkeyDust | ox1de if you asked earlier, repeat the question, pls | 16:32 |
| despe70 | how can I log them to the file I've foreseen for it ? what am I missing? | 16:32 |
| fidel | GriGi: using clementine here - kinda amarok fork- displays cover of current song & has a seperate cover-window. but most likely not what you are looking for | 16:32 |
| MeXTuX | I need to load a module during startup. How can I do it??? The module names is uvcvideo Thanx in advance | 16:32 |
| GirlyGirl | GriGi: I still prefer wmp and iTunes interface style though to the ones I use | 16:32 |
| GriGi | GirlyGirl, I was trying Amarok, but I read that it needs KDE libraries and it's true that it's laggy on Ubuntu (on my netbook) But I will try Clementine and tomahawk, thanks :). | 16:33 |
| beandog | MeXTuX: add it to /etc/modules | 16:33 |
| GriGi | GirlyGirl, Yea, that's what I'm talking about, I like iTunes style too :). | 16:33 |
| auronandace | GriGi: there is also exaile (gtk based) | 16:33 |
| GirlyGirl | GriGi: Clementine and Tomahawk use qt (kde ) too | 16:33 |
| ox1de | on boot i get the display: "no init found. try passing init= bootarg. - busybox v1.13.3 (ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built in shell (ash) - enter 'help' for listo f built in commands. - (initramfs) [ 3.056257] ieee1394: host added: IDbus[0-00:1023} guid[000ae4aaaa27c398]" | 16:33 |
| ox1de | what do i do? | 16:33 |
| marvindoppelt | how can one change the way apt connects through the internet? As in with or without proxy for example. | 16:33 |
| GirlyGirl | GriGi: But qt is already in Ubuntu as unity 2d needs it | 16:34 |
| GriGi | auronandace, I was just trying exaile but plugin with coverflow also don't work | 16:34 |
| whoever | dlentz: just did a purg and reinstall and it still freezes when searching a dir | 16:34 |
| GriGi | fidel, I'm gonna try Clementine anyway, thanks :). | 16:34 |
| zykotick9 | marvindoppelt: /etc/apt/apt.conf is probably the file you'll need to change | 16:34 |
| dlentz | whoever, if you start rb from terminal, does it output any error? | 16:35 |
| auronandace | ox1de: what did you do? | 16:35 |
| ox1de | i dont know why its malfuncitoning | 16:35 |
| fidel | GriGi: the logic behind clementine is somehow different to itunes - but you are looking more for the itunesgui aspects i guess - which most linux players wont match either ;) | 16:35 |
| GriGi | GirlyGirl, so it's nice, won't be lagging on my netbook. Now I remember, I saw once icon for this player - faenza pack got so nice icon for this, juicy orange :). | 16:35 |
| dlentz | iirc, itunes through wine is possible | 16:35 |
| GriGi | fidel - I don't need exactly iTunes, just cover flow or browsing albums with covers will satisfy me. | 16:36 |
| mysticalone | Where can I find help on patching broadcom drivers in the debian kernel package for 3.3 | 16:36 |
| MonkeyDust | !bcm| mysticalone bcm stands for broadcom | 16:36 |
| ubottu | mysticalone bcm stands for broadcom: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 16:36 |
| fidel | GriGi: clementine wont provide that - at least not in an elegant way - as you would need to use the cover-manager window - but hf testing it anyways ;) | 16:36 |
| GirlyGirl | GriGi: Actually I use KDE on my netbook and its a lot more responsive than Ubuntu with gnome 3 / unity | 16:37 |
| GirlyGirl | GriGi: Tomahawk should suit you best ... did you try banshee? | 16:37 |
| marvindoppelt | zykotick9, apt.conf is empty. See, all was well until I used proxy somewhere and applied the proxy settings system wide, later I removed the system-wide proxy settings and now apt can't connect anymore whereby it still shows that it's trying connecting through the proxy. | 16:38 |
| Bndrr | MonkeyDust, what are u looking for ? bcm ?¿ | 16:38 |
| GirlyGirl | GriGi: http://banshee.fm/ http://www.tomahawk-player.org/ | 16:38 |
| whoever | dlentz: WTF , it will work if i lauch from terminal, but from dasher it will freeze at the point where it searches for files | 16:38 |
| GriGi | GirlyGirl, I had banshee for a while but I think I should install it again and test it with Clementine and Tomahawk | 16:38 |
| dlentz | marvindoppelt, look in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d directory | 16:38 |

| jack_^ | Is there a command to install a deb file and resolve all dependencies within the command line? | 16:39 |
| MonkeyDust | jack_^ try dpkg | 16:39 |
| marvindoppelt | dlentz, it's also not there. | 16:39 |
| zykotick9 | marvindoppelt: i manually add a proxy to my apt.conf (it's actually for an apt-cacher-ng proxy), sorry i don't know how proxys are actually handled system wide (never used one). Good luck. | 16:39 |
| Bndrr | ok, I'm a bit bored. lol | 16:39 |
| jack_^ | MonkeyDust: Does dpkg install dependencies? i was having issues | 16:39 |
| dlentz | marvindoppelt, but there are lots of files there, correct? | 16:40 |
| MonkeyDust | jack_^ it's dpkg -i (for install), a normal installation, like apt-get | 16:40 |
| dlentz | those are the configuration files | 16:40 |
| dlentz | whoever, i have no idea about unity stuff | 16:40 |
| marvindoppelt | dlentz, yep but apt.conf | 16:40 |
| zykotick9 | jack_^: dpkg doesn't handle dependencies. "sudo apt-get -f install" after dpkg to try and install any dependencies | 16:40 |
| jack_^ | zykotick9++ thanks | 16:41 |
| trism | jack_^: you can also install gdebi which will do it all in one step | 16:41 |
| dlentz | apt.conf has been split into different files inside apt.conf.d/ | 16:41 |
| jack_^ | so, '# dpkg -i <file>; apt-get -f install; dpkg -i <file>; ? | 16:41 |
| marvindoppelt | dlentz, ok, how do I remove proxy settings on it. | 16:41 |
| whoever | dlentz: it must be something within rb code, sine one way it will freeze while searching and the other way it will work | 16:41 |
| MonkeyDust | jack_^ try dpkg -i [package.deb] | 16:42 |
| zykotick9 | jack_^: doing them one-by-one is probably safest (certainly isn't fastest, but will help in troubleshooting if there are issues) | 16:42 |
| jack_^ | MonkeyDust: it fails. | 16:42 |
| jack_^ | zykotick9: i only have 1 deb file. | 16:42 |
| zykotick9 | jack_^: are the dependcies the other debs you have? or are they in the repos? | 16:43 |

| jack_^ | zykotick9: not available in 12.04 | 16:44 |
| zykotick9 | jack_^: re-ask your question/issue in #ubuntu+1 | 16:44 |

| zykotick9 | jack_^: doesn't matter. good luck. | 16:45 |
| bazhang | jack_^, sure it is | 16:45 |
| jack_^ | bazhang: my question is, is there a way to resolve dependencies when installing a deb from the command line | 16:45 |
| fidel | jack_^: that question is answered already with dpkg & apt-get for deps or am i wrong? ;) | 16:45 |

| jack_^ | enthdegree: what type of LV is it? just a linear volume? | 16:46 |
| dlentz | marvindoppelt, i guess you will find that configuration in /etc/apt/apt-file.conf | 16:46 |

| trism | sgithens: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66701/how-configure-workspaces-on-unity-2d | 17:21 |
| Kanerix | so unplug your windows drive and install ubuntu to the other drive | 17:21 |
| Kanerix | You can do it through software, but that takes more explaining | 17:21 |
| escott | amw, since you have two disks you could install ubuntu to sdb and set the bios to boot sdb over sda, then grub will chainload windows on sda | 17:21 |
| martinphone | sudo umount -lf /dev/sdb1 does nothing: umount: /dev/sdb1: not mounted, disk keeps rotating | 17:21 |
| escott | amw, but generally you use grub over the windows bootloader | 17:21 |
| GriGi | fidel, sry for problems, I got another question. Maybe you know why some covers aren't fetched into Clementine, while Rhythmbox or Banshee show them? They're in tags of that files, I think they're mostly .flacs maybe that's the problem? | 17:21 |
| sgithens | trism: Thanks much!! | 17:21 |

| dackyshawn | adrien2: it's not "locked" it's just not set | 17:30 |
| escott | adrien2, its usually in reference to a device like a phone where the manufacturer doesnt want you to have root not a commodity os | 17:30 |
| adrien2 | o that's really weird | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | adrien2: it does but it can be activated, its just advised not to | 17:30 |
| dackyshawn | isnt rooting a phone more like Jailbreaking? | 17:31 |
| auronandace | adrien2: regular users shuoldn't need access to root, thats what sudo is for | 17:31 |
| adrien2 | yes i know | 17:31 |
| adrien2 | i have no need for root access | 17:31 |
| dackyshawn | i still dont understand why they advise you not to activate root... there are plenty of reasons to have root activated | 17:31 |
| adrien2 | it's just ubuntu is doing some strange things and i just wanted to rule that out so i was curious | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | dackyshawn: its the same difference afaik | 17:32 |
| escott | dackyshawn, there is no need for root thats what sudo is, and it opens you to attacks on the root password | 17:32 |
| dackyshawn | ActionParsnip: u cant run Openfire as a sudo user i come to find | 17:32 |
| dackyshawn | well that's not true actually... u can just not on a lower port number | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | dackyshawn: why would you need root activated? | 17:32 |
| adrien2 | ah okay, though my question is can someone remotely get root priveleges? | 17:33 |
| dackyshawn | if you want to run OpenFire on a server on a lower port number (like let's say 443) it requires it to be ran as the root user | 17:33 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: if they access to another sudo account and set the passwd then yes | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | dackyshawn: if you run: sudo -i you can run things as root without activating the account | 17:33 |
| dackyshawn | but it wont run at login ActionParsnip | 17:34 |
| adrien2 | ah okay, that really doesnt answer my question, but thanks dackyshawn | 17:34 |
| dackyshawn | i already found that out | 17:34 |
| dackyshawn | how doesnt that answer your question | 17:34 |
| dackyshawn | ? | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dackyshawn: then add it to rc.local and it will run as root | 17:34 |
| dackyshawn | ActionParsnip: never tried that... perhaps i should ... i know openfire suggests setting the root passwd | 17:35 |
| dackyshawn | i generally always set the root password out of habit but i dont allow remote access with root | 17:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Its just not needed | 17:37 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: i dont know of any "backdoor" method for privelge escalation if that's your question... I do know if you have an account with sudo rights then yes they can in theory gain "root" permissions using your account assuming they can get into your account | 17:37 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: this is assuming u have something like ssh or telnet set up | 17:38 |
| dackyshawn | if you have telnet and access your machine remotely then your password is unencrypted through the network so in theory someone could see that | 17:38 |
| === mang0 is now known as Seryth | ||
| ActionParsnip | dackyshawn: just found a guide how you can add it as a startable/stopable service, it will run as root at startup.. | 17:39 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: but in my opinion someone would havwe to really want access to spend the time doing all that | 17:39 |
| adrien2 | yeah true enough | 17:39 |
| adrien2 | i have neither of those services enabled | 17:39 |
| adrien2 | though i am running a missconfigured IRC server | 17:40 |
| adrien2 | (i've been meaning to remove it) | 17:40 |
| adrien2 | that answers my question thank dackyshawn | 17:40 |
| dackyshawn | i've never ran an IRC server before | 17:40 |
| adrien2 | it was fun, it was easier than i thought though i can't login to it from another computer.... | 17:40 |
| dackyshawn | i do run a jabber server tho | 17:40 |
| adrien2 | neat i never tried that before | 17:41 |
| GriGi | fidel, nvm, I'll use Banshee, it got nice "now playing" mode, and also show list of covers. Thanks for help, cya :). | 17:41 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: are u sure it isnt a firewall issue? | 17:41 |
| adrien2 | I'm pretty sure it is a firewall issue, though i dont know how to confige ubuntu's firewall | 17:41 |
| dackyshawn | i wonder if ISPs have been known to block IRC ports for hosting servers | 17:41 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2 is your ubuntu server at the head of the network? | 17:42 |
| adrien2 | well it wouldnt be the ISP as the computer i tried resides on the same network plugged into the same modem | 17:42 |
| adrien2 | er router sorry | 17:42 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: that doesnt matter | 17:42 |
| dackyshawn | that stays inside | 17:42 |
| adrien2 | the IRC server isnt, though that shouldnt matter | 17:42 |
| dackyshawn | i meant from outside | 17:42 |
| adrien2 | oh well i never tried it from outside | 17:42 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: no i was wondering cuz it should be open if u never configured IPTables | 17:42 |
| adrien2 | and i dont trust anyone outside of this | 17:42 |
| dackyshawn | but that means your router isnt set up correctly to forward the ports to the ubuntu server | 17:43 |
| adrien2 | doesnt it have default settings? | 17:43 |
| adrien2 | if it doesnt that's pretty scary | 17:43 |
| dackyshawn | at least that's what i suspect | 17:43 |
| dackyshawn | as far as i know iptables accepts all by default | 17:43 |
| adrien2 | that's retarded | 17:43 |
| dackyshawn | unless u put a drop rule in | 17:43 |
| dackyshawn | that's not retarded at all | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Yes, all in and out | 17:43 |
| adrien2 | i beg to differ, the windows firewall has good defaults to protect people | 17:43 |
| dackyshawn | windows isnt for smart ppl tho | 17:43 |
| adrien2 | well i better learn to configure tht now | 17:43 |
| dackyshawn | why? | 17:44 |
| adrien2 | neither is ubuntu | 17:44 |
| adrien2 | because otherwise i'm asking for trouble | 17:44 |
| dackyshawn | your ubuntu machine isnt facing the outside world so it doesnt matter | 17:44 |
| dackyshawn | you have router that handles that | 17:44 |
| adrien2 | i right for having a inkling this thing was as secure as a peice of swiss cheese | 17:44 |
| adrien2 | yes it is | 17:44 |
| adrien2 | I' m talking to you. | 17:44 |
| dackyshawn | lol | 17:44 |
| dackyshawn | through a router | 17:44 |
| dackyshawn | your router is your firewall | 17:44 |
| syslq | dackyshawn: based on what peremises have you reached the conclusion that windows is not for smart people? | 17:44 |
| adrien2 | yes, though you probably can see my IP on freenode | 17:44 |
| dackyshawn | syslq: it was intended as a joke | 17:45 |
| syslq | dackyshawn: :) | 17:45 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: that doesnt matter | 17:45 |
| ActionParsnip | adrien2: by its nature NAT will act as an ok firewall | 17:45 |
| adrien2 | that really doesnt matter if it's miss configured and the router does not belong to me so i dont know | 17:45 |
| wylde | adrien2: the ip we will see is that internet facing ip of your router. | 17:45 |
| adrien2 | yeah i know | 17:45 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: if i try to get into your ubuntu machine i'm only get as far as your router | 17:45 |
| adrien2 | though i dont know what kind of router is here, it doesnt belong to me | 17:45 |
| syslq | dackyshawn: new firewall is quite nice, has an option to filter inbound / outbound on 2,3 and 7 level | 17:45 |
| dackyshawn | oooo | 17:46 |
| adrien2 | okay. | 17:46 |
| dackyshawn | my ubuntu machine faces the outside | 17:46 |
| adrien2 | though that still doesnt reassure me, well i guess i can learn how to configure ipttabless | 17:46 |
| rfictus | anyone else has xchat crash when maximize screen ?? | 17:46 |
| adrien2 | thanks guys i'm glad i talked to you | 17:46 |
| dackyshawn | but i must admit to using webmin for configuring my iptable policies | 17:46 |
| dackyshawn | but i dont have ubuntu desktop | 17:46 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: make sure your router is set to forward port 6667 to the ubuntu machine | 17:47 |
| adrien2 | well i herd of an easy to use one that is based on iptables, i need security since i'm on the internet, but i dont need much | 17:47 |
| adrien2 | well that's out of my hands, though i could ask my landlord. | 17:47 |
| dackyshawn | right now what might be happening is that someone sends a request to your router for the IRC server but your router doesnt know where to direct them to | 17:47 |
| adrien2 | i dont need much security*** | 17:47 |
| wylde | adrien2: if you want to know what ports my be visible to the internet check out - http://www.grc.com services --> ShieldsUP! | 17:47 |
| wylde | may* | 17:47 |
| dackyshawn | so you have a forward set up to forward port 6667 to the internal IP | 17:47 |
| adrien2 | though i need some... my god what were they thinking | 17:48 |
| adrien2 | okay... good to know wylde though i'm not that concerned | 17:48 |
| jpds | adrien2: You know you can use ufw instead of iptables? | 17:48 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2 does your ubuntu machine have an IP in the 192.168.x.x range or something like that | 17:48 |
| adrien2 | yes it does | 17:48 |
| jpds | !ufw | adrien2 | 17:48 |
| ubottu | adrien2: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 17:48 |
| dackyshawn | thats why they cant access it silly | 17:48 |
| adrien2 | though it appears different to people outside | 17:48 |
| dackyshawn | yes cuz you have a public IP and a private | 17:48 |
| adrien2 | ah okay but you guys said it accepts all thats like having none | 17:48 |
| adrien2 | that's insane | 17:48 |
| adrien2 | i'm glad i'm switching to debian son | 17:48 |
| adrien2 | soon | 17:49 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: u misunderstand | 17:49 |
| dackyshawn | lol | 17:49 |
| adrien2 | okay | 17:49 |
| adrien2 | well you said point blank it accepts all | 17:49 |
| adrien2 | i miss understood nothing | 17:49 |
| dackyshawn | adrien2: it does accept all but thats cuz it should | 17:49 |
| wylde | adrien2: it will accept all on the internal network, not the internet because that is prevented by the NAT firewall. | 17:49 |
| dackyshawn | wylde explains it correct | 17:49 |
| adrien2 | why should it, you dont seem to understand how moronic that is... | 17:49 |
| dackyshawn | the NAT firewall is your Router | 17:49 |
| adrien2 | yes you told me that three times | 17:49 |
| dackyshawn | lol dont call us a moron if you want to understand why ask us | 17:49 |
| jpds | adrien2: Hrm, there's nothing listening by default on Ubuntu. | 17:49 |
| adrien2 | and i know what NAT is | 17:50 |
| adrien2 | anyways if you guys are going to talk down to me i will find a better room | 17:50 |
| dackyshawn | i'm not talking down | 17:50 |

| jacob` | hi guys. I'm using Ubuntu in a corporate environment. I cannot enter the Intranet site, I enter my credentials in the box in fx, press ENTER, and again the same box pops up. I was able to log on with fx on Windows. The address ends with .aspx, so I guess they're using some IIS AD mechanisms or something. Is there any way to log on with GNU/Linux to such site? | 17:55 |
| * dlentz is a Debian/iceweasel user | 17:55 | |
| zeref | ssta: where do i start? | 17:55 |
| dackyshawn | jacob is it on the domain | 17:55 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: ^ | 17:55 |
| ssta | jacob`: usually the username is: DOMAIN/username | 17:55 |
| ssta | zeref: not enough information to know, sorry. | 17:56 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: shit, I tried DOMAIN\username | 17:56 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: do u have winbind install? | 17:56 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: I'll try at work tomorrow. What if it will not work, any ideas? | 17:56 |
| l3d | was wondering if there is a easy way to make 11.10 look like 10.10? | 17:56 |
| ssta | it doesn't have to be on the domain. It's easier if it is though | 17:56 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: u need winbind i think | 17:56 |
| dackyshawn | it allows you to resolve windows hostnames and access domain resources | 17:56 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: I don't think I have it. It seems useful here | 17:57 |
| ssta | l3d: not really. You can use gnome-session-fallbak, turn off the scrollbars and the menu stuff, but it's still not really like 10.10 | 17:57 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: yea u need it | 17:57 |
| GirlyGirl_ | Hi all, please help quickly... for some reason my touchpad (synaptic) suddenly stopped. it appears to be permanently scrolling stuff only with normal (non-scroll) motion. My external mouse works fine though! I am on kde | 17:57 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: is it easy to configure, what do I have to know? | 17:57 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: fairly straightforward to set up | 17:58 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: I'd like make it clear that I'm not an administrator there, but a normal user | 17:58 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto | 17:58 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: do u have sudo access to the ubuntu box tho? | 17:59 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: yes, I do | 17:59 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: in theory you should be fine (assuming that the network doesnt have anything special blocking the ubuntu machine of course) | 17:59 |
| ssta | dackyshawn: you need AD rights to join to the domain to use winbind normally | 17:59 |
| GirlyGirl_ | I believe the touch pad is constantly detecting two fingers when there is only one! | 18:00 |
| dackyshawn | ssta yes true but not to authenticate against it | 18:00 |
| dackyshawn | ssta: i.e. like accessing an intranet site | 18:00 |
| dackyshawn | if he can access the sites from a non domain computer using his AD creditentials then winbind should work without any special permissions on the network end | 18:00 |
| dackyshawn | key word being SHOULD | 18:01 |
| rfictus | How to get more information on a running process ?? | 18:01 |
| dackyshawn | rfictus: what type of info u looking for? | 18:01 |
| ssta | dackyshawn: maybe. I've seen it fail many times more than I've seen it work | 18:01 |
| dackyshawn | ssta: works for me... :-\ | 18:01 |
| rfictus | @dackyshawn not sure | 18:01 |
| maxmustermann | can someone tell me how to turn the fan to the max? the heat keeps shuting my computer down | 18:01 |
| dackyshawn | rfictus: u dont know what info you need? | 18:01 |
| ssta | dackyshawn: works for me too...but then I have the appropriate AD permissions | 18:02 |
| dackyshawn | rfictus: then it's hard to answer your question | 18:02 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: but what do you mean by 'access'? I cannot access it now on Ubuntu now | 18:02 |
| rfictus | dackyshawn: want to know more about the 'pager' process | 18:02 |
| rfictus | 4530 pts/0 00:00:00 page | 18:02 |
| rfictus | 4530 pts/0 00:00:00 pager | 18:02 |
| dackyshawn | ssta: i have it on my laptop and can access AD resources pretty much everywhere i go if i have an account of course | 18:02 |
| rfictus | dackyshawn: 4530 pts/0 00:00:00 pager | 18:03 |
| rfictus | any code for this ? | 18:03 |
| rfictus | i know how to kill it | 18:03 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: thats cuz it cant resolve the domain and cant pass NTLM through | 18:03 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: if you try pinging a server on the network by name it wotn respond cuz it cant see windows host names | 18:03 |
| dackyshawn | (netbios) | 18:04 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: if you ping by IP should work | 18:04 |
| dackyshawn | but with winbind it will allow you to resolve windows hostnames as well as authenticate against the AD directory | 18:04 |
| ssta | jacob`: another thing you can try is ntlmaps (when it works it's great, but it can be hit and miss) | 18:04 |
| dackyshawn | again this is all assuming the network allows non-domain machines to access it's resources | 18:05 |
| jacob` | well that may also solve my another problem with SIPE addon to Pidgin, it says something about NTLM error in the debugging mode. I could finally replace Office Communicator with Pidgin | 18:05 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: can you use a windows computer that hasnt been on the domain to access these intranet sites? | 18:05 |
| dackyshawn | yea jacob` ntlm will be supported with winbind installed | 18:05 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: I don't know how to check it. This is the Intranet, I cannot access it form home now | 18:06 |
| dackyshawn | no i understand... | 18:06 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: is this a school network by chance? | 18:06 |
| dackyshawn | the one you want to access with the ubuntu machine | 18:06 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: it's a corporate environment | 18:07 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: in my opinion when u set up winbind you should be able to use DOMAIN\username to access the intranet sites | 18:07 |
| dackyshawn | also that's been my experience too | 18:07 |
| jacob` | i'm fed up with switching to Windows laptop just to use the Intranet and the communicator | 18:08 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: thanks, I'll try it | 18:08 |
| dackyshawn | ok is your windows laptop on their domain normally? | 18:08 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: ^ | 18:08 |
| === GirlyGirl_ is now known as GirlyGirl | ||
| dackyshawn | like is it ACTUALLY joined to the domain as a domain memember | 18:08 |
| dackyshawn | or is it just a personal laptop? | 18:08 |
| dackyshawn | that u have to type domain\username to gain access to teh intranet site | 18:09 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: it's not personal laptop, they gave me it | 18:09 |
| rfictus | what is /usr/bin/ssh-agent ?? | 18:09 |
| dackyshawn | oh so it's a domain machine most likely | 18:09 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: I don't have to enter domain name on Windows | 18:09 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: thats cuz you re logged on as a domain user | 18:09 |
| dackyshawn | on the windows machine | 18:09 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: yes, probably ;p | 18:09 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: I'm afraid that chances are low | 18:10 |
| jacob` | to do what I want | 18:10 |
| dackyshawn | yea it wont ask it will pass the user and password through | 18:10 |
| dackyshawn | no they arent low at all | 18:10 |
| dackyshawn | u just need to be able to resolve windows hostnames and pass NTLM creditentials | 18:10 |
| jacob` | but do I have to join AD on my demand? | 18:11 |
| dackyshawn | by default u cant do that in ubuntu as far as i know.... u need to use something like winbind | 18:11 |
| ssta | presumably he can resolve if he gets a login box | 18:11 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: nope... that's why you type in DOMAIN\username | 18:11 |
| dackyshawn | the DOMAIN is telling to authenticate with a windows domain | 18:11 |
| dackyshawn | ur machine DOES NOT need to be a member | 18:11 |
| dackyshawn | (In MOST cases) | 18:11 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: ok, I se | 18:11 |
| dackyshawn | as long as you say DOMAIN\username it will then go out and find the AD controller and pass that username and password to it and it should grant you access to those resources | 18:12 |
| dackyshawn | same way you would do it with a windows machine not joined to the domain | 18:12 |
| mmiikkee | ciao | 18:12 |
| dackyshawn | u only need a valid username and password on the domain to access the domain | 18:12 |
| dackyshawn | the machine does not have to be a memeber per say | 18:13 |
| mmiikkee | list | 18:13 |
| dackyshawn | /list | 18:13 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: but it's still possible that administrator has put some restrictions on non-windows boxes? | 18:13 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: possible but doubtful.. if you are getting a prompt for your username and password then no probablyu not | 18:13 |
| mmiikkee | !list | 18:13 |

| deinspanjer | I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with DNS resolution where a particular program (znc) seems to be querying some DNS servers that I have tried to remove from my config. I made the changes to /etc/network/interfaces, but after an ifdown/ifup, znc still complained so I just rebooted. | 18:14 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: ok, that sounds promising | 18:14 |
| dackyshawn | mmiikkee: no it's /list to list channels | 18:14 |
| deinspanjer | What is the best way I could make a DNS call similar to what znc is trying to do and see what IP the request is made to and what the response is? | 18:14 |
| deinspanjer | It seems that dig and such don't use the same settings or the same code path that znc is using. :/ | 18:14 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: only one way to find out | 18:15 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: u do need to add something to one file for winbind to work after u install it | 18:15 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: let me find it and tell you waht to add just give me a minute | 18:15 |
| MrUnagi | I have smb set up....with read only = no.....but I cant write to it....any ideas | 18:15 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: also i think you will need SMB installed as well just do sudo apt-get install smb | 18:16 |
| dackyshawn | no config needed | 18:16 |
| dackyshawn | and then sudo apt-get install winbind | 18:16 |
| dackyshawn | no config needed there | 18:16 |
| mmiikkee | act of valor | 18:16 |
| dackyshawn | but u need to add something to a file to resolve the names | 18:16 |
| deinspanjer | oh man.. I wonder if this could be something to do with it trying to use ipv6 instead of ipv4 | 18:17 |

| dackyshawn | jacob`: you need to add to the file /etc/nsswitch.conf under the line that starts with "hosts" wins | 18:18 |
| dackyshawn | after installing winbind jacob` | 18:18 |
| dackyshawn | so it should look like this.... Home | 18:19 |
| dackyshawn | an introduction | 18:19 |
| dackyshawn | What I Do | 18:19 |
| dackyshawn | oops | 18:19 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: should look like this: hosts: files dns wins | 18:19 |

| ubottu | alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 18:20 |

| MrUnagi | I cant make smb shares on ubuntu writable any ideas? | 18:24 |
| dackyshawn | MrUnagi user needs write permissions | 18:24 |
| dackyshawn | MrUnagi: u also need to make sure writeable = yes in the smb.conf file for that share | 18:26 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: thank you so much, but I'm at home right now, I don't want to ask such question with their IP, soon I'm going to set up ZNC on my home router and create a tunnel | 18:26 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: why wouldnt u want to ask from their IP??? | 18:27 |
| MrUnagi | Crap it's because root owns everything isn't it | 18:28 |
| dackyshawn | ummm no MrUnagi i just told you why | 18:28 |
| MrUnagi | Yea....user needs write permissions | 18:29 |
| MrUnagi | Root owns everything | 18:29 |
| dackyshawn | MrUnagi: u need to set the share to be writable | 18:29 |
| MrUnagi | So user cant write | 18:29 |
| MrUnagi | I did that | 18:29 |
| dackyshawn | owner doesnt matter | 18:29 |
| dackyshawn | file permissions matter | 18:29 |
| wylde | MrUnagi: you're trying to share directories out /home aren't you? | 18:29 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: well because they already bashed for using IRC channel to ask question and talk in general, they say I represent the company when I'm at work and there are many malicious people who can figure out some details about their IT security policy basing on what I might say | 18:29 |
| wylde | *outside | 18:29 |
| MrUnagi | wylde: Yes and no | 18:30 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: u should set up ssh :-P | 18:30 |
| MrUnagi | dackyshawn: 775? | 18:30 |
| dackyshawn | jacob`: if they were so concerned about their policies they should block irc in the first place | 18:30 |
| dackyshawn | MrUnagi: or 777 | 18:30 |
| dackyshawn | but 775 is fine too i think | 18:30 |
| level09 | how do I configure my server to it wont drop my ssh session | 18:30 |
| level09 | I basically want to be connected forever | 18:30 |
| dackyshawn | level09: what do u mean? | 18:30 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: ports like 6667 are blocked, I used webchat | 18:31 |
| level09 | dackyshawn: when I connect to the server through ssh | 18:31 |
| level09 | if I leave my laptop for some time | 18:31 |
| level09 | the server will disconnect me | 18:31 |
| kuzushi | sometimes with ubuntu my screen freezes and I have to switch off to a raw terminal and back to get it to 'unfreeze' | 18:31 |
| dackyshawn | ah jacob` then we'd see the ip for the webchat site wouldnt we? | 18:31 |
| level09 | I want to keep my ssh session forever | 18:31 |
| rfictus | wth is mission-control process?? | 18:31 |
| kuzushi | any chance that is a known issue or am I just dumb? | 18:31 |
| dackyshawn | level09: maybe there's a timeout option in the ssh config | 18:31 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: we here would see webchat IP, but they at webchat would know my real IP | 18:32 |
| MrUnagi | It's now 777 and still access is denied | 18:32 |
| dackyshawn | level09: u need to adjust the variable that says "ServerAliveInterval" | 18:32 |
| level09 | dackyshawn: I tried from the client side, but it did not work, I want to change it from the remote side | 18:32 |
| level09 | dackyshawn: yes, that variabel did not do it for me, perhaps its better to do it from the sshd_config side | 18:33 |
| dackyshawn | level09: add to /etc/ssh_config | 18:33 |
| dackyshawn | yes its a server side variable | 18:33 |
| dackyshawn | not client i think | 18:33 |
| level09 | dackyshawn: ssh_config is the client, but sshd_config is the server | 18:33 |
| level09 | dackyshawn: still what should I put in there ? a small number or a big number ? | 18:33 |
| dackyshawn | level09: http://docs.oseems.com/application/ssh/disable-timeout | 18:34 |
| level09 | dackyshawn: thanks ! reading .. | 18:34 |
| dackyshawn | level09: doesnt matter what the number is i dont think... as long as it's within range of the normal timeout i think | 18:34 |
| dackyshawn | so like 5 i think would do every 5 seconds a keep alive packet | 18:34 |
| MarKsaitis | how can I view and switch to different shells/ptys - whatever u call them? | 18:35 |
| level09 | dackyshawn: thanks, that article mentions sshd as well, but the page seems messed up | 18:35 |
| level09 | ah now fine , just had to refresh | 18:35 |
| wylde | MarKsaitis: ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 or f3 etc. | 18:36 |
| tyler_d | sorry, dackyshawn and level09 whats wrong with just modifying your keepalive, should already be set to yes(that is teh default) | 18:37 |
| tyler_d | TCPKeepAlive | 18:37 |
| level09 | tyler_d: it did not work for me | 18:37 |
| level09 | tyler_d: u mean on the server ? | 18:37 |
| tyler_d | level09: define that. what do you mean didn't work | 18:37 |
| level09 | tyler_d: so far I only tried on the client side | 18:37 |
| tyler_d | on your local machine level09 | 18:38 |
| level09 | tyler_d: I am getting errors , socket error : connection reset by peer | 18:38 |
| level09 | or broken pipe | 18:38 |
| level09 | or | 18:38 |
| level09 | ssh exception : session is not active | 18:38 |
| level09 | tyler_d: yes | 18:38 |
| MrUnagi | Ntfs sucks | 18:38 |
| ssta | tyler_d: because TCPKeepAlive is at the TCP levevl...many NATting routers don't bother passing them along. ServerAliveInterval is an application level keepalive that IS passsed through | 18:38 |
| jacob` | dackyshawn: the other thing is, that even if I accessed the intranet, there are probably plenty of MS activex elements and other frills. Address ends with .aspx, so it's probably the case | 18:39 |
| tyler_d | ssta: tyvm, that is more like what I was looking for :) | 18:39 |

| level09 | I actually have that setting inside an app, I think I can also keep it going by executing some dummy command every few minutes | 18:40 |
| ssta | jacob`: considered running a small windows VM (something like virtualbox works well) | 18:40 |

| jacob` | ssta: they'd have to buy another license, and I'd have to fill in 1000 papers for it to happen | 18:42 |
| ssta | jacob`: ah...shame. I find VMs very handy for stuff like that | 18:43 |
| ssta | jacob`: don't suppose they have a citrix server to run IE from? | 18:43 |
| jacob` | ssta: I don't know, I'll ask. But that's the last thing I'll use, IE is unusable for me | 18:45 |
| ssta | jacob`: agreed, but if they have activex stuff then it might be the only option (thought you said there was?) | 18:45 |
| jacob` | I think there are, so far I used only on Windows and IE | 18:47 |
| ssta | have you tried on windows with !IE? (firefox or chrome or whatnot...) | 18:47 |

| cog | next to my username | 18:50 |
| jacob` | ssta: maybe i did, but I don't remember, sorry ;p But if this site was filled up with activex and stuff, is the VM the only way to go to display it properly, there are no open activex implementations for Linux? | 18:50 |
| ssta | jacob`: none that I'm aware of. I doubt that they're really possible. There *might* be some way under wine, nut I don't know for sure | 18:51 |
| jacob` | ssta: it's a shame | 18:52 |
| GirlyGirl | cog: Us imagebin | 18:54 |
| ssta | jacob`: basically an activeX control is a COM object, which is microsoft specific. All of the languages they can be written in are windows specific AFAIK and need the ATL/MFC libraries. Personally I think it's fine that Linux doesn't support them...I've never seen them do anything that you *should* be doing that couldn't be done in a platform independent way.

| Kanerix | Well, first you need to figure out what happened to it | 19:11 |
| Kanerix | or tell us what you did | 19:11 |

| ox1de | is there a command sequence I can input to repair it? | 19:13 |
| GirlyGirl | cog: You can't according to me but I don't know | 19:13 |
| Kanerix | ox1de, dude, what did you do before you booted it up | 19:13 |
| ox1de | i didnt make any error really that i'm aware of | 19:14 |
| Kanerix | There is no command sequence to repair it if you don't know what caused it | 19:14 |
| Kanerix | did you remove the hard drive? | 19:14 |
| ox1de | no. | 19:14 |
| Kanerix | did you format something and miss? | 19:14 |
| ox1de | the hard drive is still in there.. | 19:14 |

| Kanerix | simple question | 19:15 |

| alternativerock1 | Kanerix : if I update the kernel, may it works ? | 19:32 |
| Kanerix | alternativerock1, yeah, most likely | 19:32 |
| alternativerock1 | I will try | 19:32 |
| Kanerix | it'll be either in the kernel or a module attached to the kernel | 19:32 |

| Kanerix | kame, yep | 19:33 |

| EvilResistance | alternativerock1, updated it how? | 19:34 |
| alternativerock1 | the packages. i mean like wine | 19:35 |
| Kanerix | alternativerock1, I don't know | 19:35 |
| alternativerock1 | ok, thanks | 19:35 |
| EvilResistance | alternativerock1, you could check the lucid-updates repository, most unsupported updates go there, not sure how "updated" it is though | 19:35 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: interesting.. seems to be some bugs with remount and multiple mounts of a filesystem | 19:36 |
| alternativerock1 | EvilResistance : thanks. do you know if it is possible to have ubuntu maveric updated? sorry for my bad english | 19:36 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: using either the device, or mountpoints, it gets confused about which filesystems are rw and which are ro | 19:36 |
| Kanerix | imbezol, I haven't seen any issue with it, tbh | 19:37 |
| Kanerix | I used embedded systems more than not, though | 19:37 |
| kame | :/ | 19:37 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: for example.. if you have a device mounted twice, and use either the device or the dir to make it RO, then try to write, it's RO on both spots | 19:37 |
| EvilResistance | !maverick | 19:37 |

| imbezol | Kanerix: no.. but the mount options should stay with the mountpoint you're working on | 19:38 |
| Kanerix | yeh | 19:39 |
| GirlyGirl | alternativerock1: If you dislike unity, you should give kde a shot in precise | 19:39 |
| lo0m | alternativerock1: it's linux.. if you've configured it to your liking, just dist-upgrade, your settings will stay | 19:39 |
| Kanerix | GirlyGirl, yeah, I prefer either KDE or LXDE personally =) | 19:39 |
| * Psi-Jack chants, XFCE! XFCE! XFCE! and runs off. | 19:40 | |
| imbezol | KDE seems to be the lesser of evils for me too | 19:40 |
| Kanerix | Psi-Jack, pssh | 19:40 |
| Kanerix | XFCE is become bloaty | 19:40 |
| Kanerix | *becoming | 19:41 |
| Psi-Jack | Bull! | 19:41 |
| Psi-Jack | It's no more "bloated" than it was when it was a CDE-like clone. | 19:41 |
| imbezol | xfce is ok too.. i don't like the menu bar at the bottom and the task bar at the top though that's probably configurable | 19:41 |
| GirlyGirl | Kanerix: Interesting as KDE 4 just began losing its bloat very recently | 19:41 |
| Psi-Jack | imbezol: Quite configurable, and easily so. ;) | 19:41 |
| Psi-Jack | imbezol: Different distros pre-configure it differently. | 19:41 |
| imbezol | Psi-Jack: yeah i remember back in the gentoo days it seemed to have a nice settings area | 19:42 |
| denis_ | hello | 19:42 |
| imbezol | Psi-Jack: didn't see that the other day when i was messing with it | 19:42 |
| Kanerix | GirlyGirl, KDE may be bloated, but at least it's PRETTY and bloated | 19:42 |
| Psi-Jack | imbezol: It's always had that, even when it was a CDE-like clone. ;) | 19:42 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: my beef with KDE is that the ui is just so buggy.. all the fancy config drop downs and stuff are seriously buggy | 19:42 |
| futurian | Never thought I'd say it, but Unity's starting to grow on me a little.. | 19:42 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: plus it has some really annoying cludges with multimonitor | 19:42 |
| jann` | babble online? | 19:43 |
| GirlyGirl | Kanerix: It feels faster than untiy now since 4.8 | 19:43 |
| Psi-Jack | Umm.. | 19:43 |
| GirlyGirl | imbezol: When did you last try KDE? | 19:43 |
| Kanerix | imbezol, hmm... I haven't experienced that much. I also don't do multimonitor either, though. | 19:43 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: i still think kde 3.6 or whatever the last version was is the best desktop that ever lived on linux | 19:43 |
| Psi-Jack | Unity... Is... VERY... Slow. | 19:43 |
| imbezol | GirlyGirl: i use it now | 19:43 |
| Kanerix | GirlyGirl, haha yeah | 19:43 |
| === Taftse is now known as Taftse|food | ||
| GirlyGirl | imbezol: Which version? | 19:43 |
| Psi-Jack | Heck, Unity was first introduced for intended use for NETBOOKS.. However, it was too much for even some of the more powerful Netbooks out there. | 19:43 |
| imbezol | whatever's latest on 11.10 | 19:44 |
| futurian | @psi-jack... Not running too bad over here on the latest LTS beta.. | 19:44 |
| jann` | gonna install 12.04 on zenbook ux31 that's gonna be awsome | 19:44 |
| GirlyGirl | imbezol: Ah ok you should see a big change on 12.04 | 19:44 |

| imbezol | GirlyGirl: cool.. i'll take a look in the evening one of these days (ie, when i'm not at work :) | 19:46 |
| futurian | @jann.. I thought April 26th ish..? | 19:46 |
| Kanerix | kame, you said it was mounted at /media/sda1 | 19:46 |
| jann` | ï see, i might be mistaken though. | 19:46 |
| imbezol | i still run 11.04 on my work lappy cuz gnome just works and i can't afford to have it broke | 19:46 |
| Psi-Jack | The problem I have with KDE and Kubuntu is, well, Kubuntu makes KDE look horrible, and they just cut funding for the Kubuntu project.. KDE devs actually do not like bug reports from Kubuntu maintainers because they'r eusually creating new bugs, not finding actual bugs. | 19:46 |
| Psi-Jack | Essentially, manufacturing bugs. ;) | 19:47 |
| alteregod | imbezol: yeah don't touch a running system, and you got enough back ports for 11.04 | 19:47 |
| Kanerix | Psi-Jack, KDE on opensuse ain't so bad, if you de-ugly it | 19:48 |
| futurian | Hmm.. Conspiricy theory?!? | 19:48 |
| kvgeorge1 | I am trying to setup fstab to mount an already mount point to be read-only using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit, but having serious issues getting it working | 19:48 |
| kame | Kanerix yes | 19:48 |
| futurian | KDE looked better then it played :-S | 19:48 |
| Psi-Jack | Kanerix: It's definitely their flagship. But openSUSE's gone downhill for me. I won't even use it anymore/ | 19:48 |
| kvgeorge1 | I have a mp called /root/snapshot that is mounted to /dev/sdb1 | 19:48 |
| GirlyGirl | Psi-Jack: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Blue-Systems-to-sponsor-Kubuntu-1518345.html | 19:48 |
| alteregod | imbezol: you have to wait a few months till so called (stable releases) are fixed from bugs so its recommend to wait a year for the current release | 19:48 |
| Psi-Jack | GirlyGirl: Sigh... | 19:48 |
| kvgeorge1 | I want /snapshot to be available to all users, but in a RO state of /root/snapshot | 19:49 |
| Psi-Jack | GirlyGirl: So the agony continues. | 19:49 |
| Kanerix | Psi-Jack, yeah... I've been using it for years and its decline is disappointing | 19:49 |
| alteregod | ubuntu is just a bunch of debian patches, with all the bugs | 19:49 |
| Psi-Jack | GirlyGirl: Well, I HOPE they can finally get to actually packing it /correctly/ for once. Because they've been failing that for years. | 19:49 |
| kvgeorge1 | anyone know how to set this up with fstab? | 19:49 |
| Kanerix | kame: so what does permissions of /mnt/ have to do with the permissions of /media/sda1/whatever | 19:49 |
| Kanerix | ? | 19:49 |
| GirlyGirl | Psi-Jack: In what sense? What was wrongly packed? | 19:50 |
| === jan_ is now known as jkrueger | ||
| imbezol | alteregod: yeah.. i've done an enormous amount of pulling my hair out with 11.10 on my home system | 19:51 |
| imbezol | alteregod: not to complain or anything, but it's definitely way out in front for the "worst release ubuntu has ever done" award | 19:51 |
| alteregod | yeah maybe the pancreatic pangolin or whatever may be a little bit better but wait a few months till june | 19:52 |
| Kanerix | I'm damn close to building an LFS system | 19:52 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: i got part way through a few times :) | 19:52 |
| kame | Kanerix same permissions in mnt and media | 19:52 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: something always seemed to break and i'd run out of time to figure out why | 19:52 |
| Kanerix | imbezol, I think I know enough now to do it | 19:53 |
| jigrap | is there a way to switch back to the old interface in ubuntu 12.04? (remove the ubuntu one) | 19:53 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: yeah.. and it's probably better | 19:53 |
| Kanerix | imbezol, I'd also try it on some non-critical system (like my laptop) on a spare partition or somesuch | 19:53 |
| gnuskool | howdy! anyone here got zarafa mail on ubuntu? | 19:53 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: but i do have almost 15 years of experience including coding, building clusters, and admining several other unix OSes | 19:53 |
| alteregod | or wait for the quirky quagga | 19:53 |
| gnuskool | can zarafa be used to send and rercieve mail from my isp on IMAP? | 19:54 |
| aeon-ltd | !nounity | jigrap | 19:54 |
| ubottu | jigrap: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:54 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: i even built a few custom kernel modules for sun cobalt RAQ servers | 19:54 |
| Kanerix | imbezol, heh nice. I'm not THAT experienced, but I'm pretty damn good at learning things | 19:54 |
| kvgeorge1 | anyone used FSTAB to mount a dir as ro? | 19:54 |
| jigrap | aeon-ltd: is it the same for 12.04? | 19:54 |
| Kanerix | kvgeorge1, yeah, you just specify "ro" in the options area | 19:54 |
| gnuskool | imbezol: used zarafa by any chance ? | 19:55 |
| kvgeorge1 | did that, but it | 19:55 |
| aeon-ltd | jigrap: if it's still unity it's prob still 95% true | 19:55 |
| Kanerix | gnuskool, I haven't heard of it. Sorry, mate. | 19:55 |
| jigrap | aeon-ltd: thanks | 19:55 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: did that, but doesn't work. Basically, mount comes back stating that it is already mounted as 'rw' | 19:55 |
| futurian | for gnome classic.. install gnome-panel and select the different desktop environment at the login screen | 19:55 |
| imbezol | gnuskool: nope | 19:55 |
| aeon-ltd | jigrap: i don't think gnome will ever go back though, have you considered other desktop environments? | 19:55 |
| Kanerix | kvgeorge1, pastebin your /etc/fstab | 19:56 |
| Kanerix | kame, how many times is /dev/sda1 mounted on your machine? | 19:56 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: #mount /root/snapshot | 19:56 |
| kvgeorge1 | /dev/sdb1/root/snapshotext4defaults00 | 19:56 |
| kvgeorge1 | /root/snapshot/snapshotnonebind,ro00 | 19:56 |
| Kanerix | kvgeorge1, if you run "mount -o remount,ro /root/snapshot" what happens? | 19:58 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: it works | 19:59 |
| jigrap | aeon-ltd: i've used xfce but i didnt like it as much | 19:59 |
| jigrap | aeon-ltd: whats another alternative thats good? | 19:59 |

| Pl3nar1us | Do you have to use synaptic in order to install deb repositories in 11.10? | 19:59 |
| ox1de | how do i fix my filesystem? | 19:59 |
| aeon-ltd | jigrap: lxde? or just openbox by itself is pretty good but you will need a separate app for a panel/taskbar | 19:59 |
| Kanerix | you have to find it first | 19:59 |
| GirlyGirl | Pl3nar1us: "gksudo software-properties-gtk" | 20:00 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: was that to me? | 20:00 |
| jigrap | aeon-ltd: cool i'll check that out I used to use windowmaker years ago and i loved the next look | 20:00 |
| Kanerix | kvgeorge1, have you tried remount,ro in the options? not sure that'll work | 20:00 |
| jigrap | not sure if that window manager even exists today | 20:00 |
| Kanerix | kvgeorge1, no it was to ox1de | 20:00 |
| Pl3nar1us | Girlygirl: Ty | 20:00 |
| Kanerix | he keeps asking the same question | 20:00 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: yes, but remount is not a valid option | 20:00 |
| Kanerix | and his root filesystem is gone | 20:00 |
| ox1de | how do i get it back? | 20:01 |
| ox1de | is my cpu dead or is there a way to repair it? | 20:02 |
| Kanerix | your CPU has nothing to do with your root file system | 20:02 |
| ox1de | are you a robot? | 20:02 |
| Kanerix | Really, dude? | 20:02 |
| Kanerix | No, I'm impatient and tired of giving you the same answer | 20:02 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: is there somewhere that shows the valid options for fstab in ubuntu 11.10? | 20:03 |
| Kanerix | kvgeorge1, man fstab usually has a rundown | 20:03 |
| Kanerix | I don't have a machine at my disposal at the moment to check | 20:04 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: didn't find it there either.... :-( | 20:04 |
| Kanerix | you might also try man mount | 20:04 |
| Kanerix | and see if there's something in there that we're missing | 20:04 |
| Bndrr | hi all | 20:04 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: man mount mentions the "bind" option, but not "remount" | 20:04 |
| Kanerix | well, remount does exactly what it says on the tin ;) | 20:05 |
| Kanerix | have you tried it? or are you not trying it because it's not listed? | 20:05 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: right. I have tried it, it is not a recognized option | 20:06 |
| Kanerix | strange | 20:06 |
| _Marcus | What is the command to install GNU GMP, MPFR, and MPC? | 20:06 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: which is strange since error=remount-ro seems to be valid | 20:06 |
| Kanerix | I use it all the time | 20:06 |
| ox1de | is there a way to repair the root? | 20:06 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: I wonder if bind,ro,remount cannot be done on the same line | 20:06 |
| Kanerix | ox1de, only if you know where it was and you can find it again | 20:06 |
| Kanerix | kvgeorge1, um why are you putting it in that order? | 20:07 |
| imbezol | kvgeorge1: are you working from an ubuntu system, or an install cd? | 20:07 |
| Kanerix | bind,remount,ro | 20:07 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: no reason....let me try your order | 20:07 |
| Kanerix | not sure that'll make a difference | 20:07 |
| * Kanerix shrugs | 20:07 | |

| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: get this error when I do 'mount -a' -> mount: /snapshot not mounted already, or bad option | 20:08 |
| KooolaNL | kanerix yep | 20:09 |
| KooolaNL | stuck @ step 5 | 20:09 |
| Kanerix | kvgeorge1, well, see that's a clue right there | 20:09 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: if I remove the "remount" option, the error goes away | 20:09 |
| imbezol | Kanerix: hmm.. never seen a bind in an fstab | 20:09 |
| ebby | trivia | 20:10 |
| imbezol | /olddir /newdir none bind | 20:10 |
| imbezol | according to man page | 20:10 |
| Kanerix | imbezol, yeah he's trying to mount the bind read only | 20:10 |
| Kanerix | *as read only | 20:10 |
| Bndrr | a good screenshot for ubuntu ? | 20:10 |
| imbezol | "/olddir /newdir ro bind" ? | 20:11 |
| Kanerix | ro,bind | 20:11 |
| imbezol | actually.. nm... i see | 20:11 |
| Kanerix | ;) | 20:11 |
| imbezol | right.. the none is the fstype | 20:11 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!! | 20:11 |
| GirlyGirl | Bndrr: http://imagebin.org/207730 | 20:11 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix, imbezol: needed to mount the drive using bind, THEN mount again using remount,ro | 20:12 |
| GirlyGirl | Bndrr: Why do you need a screenshot? | 20:12 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix: imbezol: new fstab looks like this: #mount /root/snapshot | 20:12 |
| kvgeorge1 | /dev/sdb1/root/snapshotext4defaults00 | 20:12 |
| kvgeorge1 | /root/snapshot/snapshotnonebind00 | 20:12 |
| kvgeorge1 | /root/snapshot/snapshotnoneremount,ro00 | 20:12 |
| imbezol | kanerix: kvgeorge1: so going back to the conversion we had earlier.. test what you just did.. because on my system setting a second mountpoint RO sets the original RO too | 20:12 |

| Jordan_U | meet: Why did you create the partition from within Windows? It's easier to just let the installer do partitioning for you. | 20:17 |

| Kanerix | which is why I said to pastebin it the first time | 20:18 |
| Kanerix | floobots will kick you | 20:18 |
| Bndrr | xd | 20:18 |
| Jordan_U | Kanerix: Our floodbots are nice and will only quiet flodders :) | 20:18 |
| kvgeorge1 | kaneirx: so the trick was to mount the directory with 'bind' the first time, then mount again using 'bind,remount,ro' | 20:19 |
| Kanerix | Jordan_U ah alright | 20:19 |
| kvgeorge1 | kanerix, imbezol: thanks for all your assistance.....have a nice day | 20:19 |
| Kanerix | cheers | 20:20 |
| Jordan_U | meet: You will want two partitions for Ubuntu, one for '/' and one for swap. And since you didn't create an ext4 partition in Windows you're going to need to delete the partition you created at some point in the process. I would recommend that you simply delete the new partition (leaving the space free if you'd like) and then run Ubuntu's installer normally. You can also use the manual partitioning option to create the swap and root partitions ... | 20:21 |
| Jordan_U | ... manually from the space currently occupied by the new partition you created. | 20:21 |

| === parto is now known as avatarParto | ||
| Jordan_U | Bndrr: Unfortunately no, because vlc by default needs to use a GUI, and commands run by at won't have the $DISPLAY environment variable properly set. You should be able to use cvlc, though. | 20:47 |
| avatarParto | Is there any way vlc can be incorporated in the sound menu? | 20:47 |
| Jordan_U | Bndrr: And the more I think about this, while this solution works great for me you probably will be more happy with an actual alarm application. | 20:48 |

| Jordan_U | Bndrr: "at" is a utility for scheduling commands to run at a specified time (see "man at"). It's similar to cron, except cron is used to schedule recurring tasks (like if you wanted an 8:00 AM alarm on all weekdays). | 20:52 |
| Bndrr | have i mplayer installed ? how can I see that ? | 20:52 |
| === irdx is now known as irdxafk | ||
| Jordan_U | Bndrr: It doesn't come installed by default, so probably not. "cvlc" should serve the same purpose though. | 20:53 |
| Bndrr | np. i want try with printf | 20:53 |
| === RealPedo is now known as HueloPedo | ||
| Jordan_U | Bndrr: The way you tell at what command to run is by sending that command to it via stdin (if you don't know what that is I'll explain more). The string that it gets via stdin is stored, and then at the specified time is executed using "sh". | 20:55 |
| Bndrr | Jordan_U, can i install with apt-get install mplayer ? | 20:55 |

| Jordan_U | Bndrr: Mplayer will exit automatically when the song file finishes. | 21:01 |
| Bndrr | I tryied and doesnt work | 21:01 |
| Bndrr | what does it means commands will be executed using /bin/s ) | 21:02 |
| Jordan_U | Bndrr: Because the string is executed by sh, we need to be careful to qoute things properly. For instance, in my example the filename had a space in it. If I had simply used "echo mplayer Music/Cobankat\ 1.flac | at 8:00" then at would have recieved the string "mplayer Music/Cobankat 1.flac" which when executed by sh would have told mplayer to play "Music/Cobankat" then "1.flac". printf %q tells printf to escape spaces, or any other characters which ... | 21:03 |
| Jordan_U | ... the shell might interpret specially. | 21:04 |
| Jordan_U | Bndrr: What is the exact command you ran? | 21:04 |
| Bndrr | printf "mplayer %q\n" /home/zuser/Música/JumpStyle Music.mp3 | at 23:03 | 21:05 |
| Jordan_U | Bndrr: You need to escape the space between 'JumpStyle' and 'Music.mp3'. | 21:06 |
| Jordan_U | Bndrr: printf "mplayer %q\n" /home/zuser/Música/JumpStyle\ Music.mp3 | at 23:03 | 21:06 |
| Bndrr | I deleted now.i go to try again (changing the song name and all) | 21:07 |
| Bndrr | too :) | 21:07 |
| Jordan_U | Bndrr: Quoting the entire file path works as well, like: printf "mplayer %q\n" "/home/zuser/Música/JumpStyle Music.mp3" | at 23:03 | 21:07 |

| Morpheus90 | moment Nach0z | 21:38 |
| mac_ | how do i stop that?? | 21:38 |
| Nach0z | mac_: use sudo. lol. or, re-do the permissions of the file using chown | 21:38 |

| [Corp] | welcome | 21:40 |
| Nach0z | yes. chown. man chown to get a good detailed explanation on it | 21:40 |
| Nach0z | but for your issues it sounds like you want sudo | 21:40 |
| Onnonymous | mac_: about the suspend, could you try running /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_zenbook ? It should not give any output. | 21:40 |
| mac_ | i made the file and placed it in the folder | 21:40 |
| Nach0z | mac_: ok. and you can't copy it somewhere else, right? | 21:41 |
| mac_ | but it still basically doesn't wake up when i press suspend or close it | 21:41 |
| mac_ | i think one problem may be, before i made it executable, I hae a 20_zenbook file in there also that's just there. I was thinking maybe if i deleted it, it would then work | 21:41 |
| vexaxv | ive got a red circle with a white dash in it at the top right of my screen | 21:41 |
| Onnonymous | mac_: have you made /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_zenbook executable? Try on a command line: ls -l /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_zenbook | 21:41 |
| vexaxv | says messed up package | 21:41 |
| Nach0z | vexaxv: open a terminal, do sudo apt-get update, followed by sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:43 |
| mac_ | Onnonymous, do i nee d to be in root before doing that?? | 21:43 |

| zacktu | I am trying to create and format a partition; gParted says that it is already in use by the system. It's not in fstab. How can I find out what's going on? | 22:01 |
| BlueClaw | I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 last night but it installed it to one my external drives (making a partition). Windows cannot see the partition and the bootloader is not on the main drive so it just boots up to windows (7) still. Ideally I would like to move my windows from my ssd to the hdd and install Ubuntu on my ssd. Anyone know if there is a way to do that? | 22:02 |

| zacktu | legasp: Yes, I've used the live cd also. When I do that I can delete, create, and format the partition. After that I can reboot ubuntu, and the partition is there, and the ubuntu gparted recognizes the partition. I've installed the partition into fstab, but the next time I boot the partition is gone. | 22:06 |

| finish06 | BlueClaw, you just need to reinstall it. is that going to be a problem? | 22:15 |

| finish06 | Shinka, ... the first time I installed the DD-WRT firmware, I was worried I would "brick" my router, so to minimize this worry, I purchased it at BestBuy. Then if I bricked it, I would just take it back to bestbuy and say, "It didn't work.. " I need to return it. HAHA | 22:18 |

| cuddylier1 | L3mce Yeah, it is some java processes | 23:07 |
| squid | oh ok..let me see the iptables first :) | 23:08 |
| L3mce | what have you installed recently that uses java? And does top tell you more specifically what the application is? | 23:08 |
| Boohbah | cuddylier1: Craftbukkit, to be exact | 23:08 |
| cuddylier1 | L3mce But, I stopped a process before and my server lag went instantly | 23:08 |
| L3mce | so what? | 23:09 |
| L3mce | You want to do that every time, or figure out the problem? | 23:09 |
| Boohbah | L3mce: it's minecraft and associated software | 23:09 |
| L3mce | I dont know anything about that, sorry | 23:09 |
| cuddylier1 | L3mce: http://pastebin.com/rDJYSmat Here is the result of top | 23:10 |
| L3top | I don't know anything about minecraft cuddylier1. | 23:10 |
| cuddylier1 | L3mce I really want the problem sorted for good, my hardware isn't bad, it's a process somewhere that is useless and doesn't need to be running | 23:10 |
| squid | innociv -> i found your problem | 23:10 |
| cuddylier1 | What is fibrelamp? L3top ? | 23:10 |
| L3top | I can't help you... back... back! | 23:11 |
| innociv | Oh? | 23:11 |
| * L3top beats with stick | 23:11 | |
| squid | innociv -> -A INPUT -p tcp -j DROP | 23:11 |
| squid | do this instead... | 23:11 |
| squid | nslookup www.paypal.com | 23:11 |
| innociv | Right I want to drop everything that's not accepted. | 23:12 |
| squid | get paypal servers IPs and add them to your INPUT table | 23:12 |
| innociv | k | 23:12 |
| squid | dont Append!!! | 23:12 |
| squid | let me know if you need help | 23:12 |
| cuddylier1 | Does anyone know any useless processes running here? http://pastebin.com/rDJYSmat | 23:12 |
| StepNjump | hi guys, my optical reader works on read but not on write. I tried GnomeBaker. Nothing works | 23:13 |
| innociv | That worked, squid, but i dont get why just opening 443 didn't. | 23:14 |
| L3top | StepNjump: chances are you have a bad burner. They are remarkably cheap, and a bit of you get what you pay for. Try burning on the slowest speeds possible... might be hit or miss. Might not burn at all anymore. They are notorious for going bad. | 23:15 |
| atifalhazmi | hi | 23:17 |
| atifalhazmi | how are you ? | 23:18 |
| squid | innociv -> any luck? | 23:18 |
| squid | if you need help creating the rules....just ask | 23:19 |
| innociv | Yes it worked by allowing the ips | 23:19 |
| innociv | i guess it answers back on port 80 or something | 23:19 |
| squid | excellent | 23:19 |
| o-sky | hi, i need to help... can someone help me? | 23:19 |

| `Korvin | my sound stopped working>.< | 23:21 |
| `Korvin | says it's playing | 23:21 |
| `Korvin | nothing comes out | 23:21 |
| chilired | trying to get audio over hdmi working on a nvidia 210 | 23:21 |
| KooolaNL | thx | 23:22 |
| o-sky | squid, I use fedora and am having problems in webcam ... I heard that ubuntu is better to recognize hardware, it worth changing just because of that? | 23:22 |
| chilired | mainly for xbmc, found a openelec howto, just wondering if I can use it to get things working in ubuntu | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | `Korvin: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds then try sound | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | o-sky: use a USB install and try it | 23:25 |
| pilotbub | ubuntu installer is seriously retarded | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: how so? | 23:25 |
| pilotbub | it says "replace lmde with ubuntu" but then if you click it it formats the whole drive | 23:26 |
| pilotbub | no root filesystem is defined what is this nonsense | 23:27 |
| pilotbub | classic linux | 23:27 |
| StepNjump | L3top: thank you. Well, I will try it under winxp. I am on a dboot system. It's almost like the burning apps dont find the burner. Lets say when I put a CD that was already burned, then it will recognize it but when I put in a blank one, nautilus doesn't load it up... is this normal? | 23:28 |
| o-sky | ActionParsnip, my webcam is not usb | 23:29 |
| StepNjump | BOXSPI903 | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | pilotbub: If you're using manual partitioning you need to set the mountpoint of whatever partition you want to be the root partition to '/'. | 23:29 |
| StepNjump | sorry for that | 23:29 |
| L3top | StepNjump: oh... that is different | 23:29 |
| StepNjump | Yes I know it's weird | 23:29 |
| pilotbub | now it needs a swap space | 23:31 |
| pilotbub | all for slower performance than win 8 hurrah | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | o-sky: it is connected to the USB bus | 23:31 |
| o-sky | my webcam is internal from laptop | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | o-sky: yes, it connects to the USB bus internally, run: lsusb and you will see it listed | 23:32 |
| L3top | Give it a try under win... then maybe try and burn it from cli with growisofs... | 23:32 |
| L3top | @StepNjump | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | o-sky: if you want to try ubuntu, you can use tools to put the install ISO on a USB stick and test it | 23:33 |
| pilotbub | LMDE wins the installer race I've had enough of this purple OS and I haven't even installed it | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: LMDE is also not supported here | 23:34 |
| vexaxv | hey guys after i ./configure make make install can i delete all the files i used in my downloads? | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: I suggest you use checkinstall to make a deb of your binaries | 23:34 |
| bcuraboy | hi everyone.where can i find this package gir1.2-dee-0.5 ????? | 23:34 |
| StepNjump | yes? L3top | 23:35 |
| vexaxv | so instead of make install type checkinstall | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !checkinstall | 23:35 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 23:35 |
| vexaxv | oo thanks | 23:35 |
| vexaxv | :P | 23:35 |
| vexaxv | :D* | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | bcuraboy: try searching http://packages.ubuntu.com | 23:35 |
| StepNjump | any suggestion L3top | 23:35 |
| L3top | Give it a try under win... then maybe try and burn it from cli with growisofs... | 23:36 |
| vexaxv | so like i said after "make" i type "checkinstall"? | 23:36 |
| L3top | assuming that works there and not here | 23:36 |
| StepNjump | L3top: its like a driver issue | 23:36 |
| bcuraboy | it seems it's only available for oneiric | 23:36 |
| bcuraboy | :/ | 23:36 |
| bcuraboy | no chance it might land in precise? | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | bcuraboy: precise isn't supported here, ask in #ubuntu+1 | 23:37 |
| vexaxv | after i run checkinstall and i get the deb it will already be installed right? | 23:38 |
| === Nick_ is now known as Guest14752 | ||
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: the files will be in place but the package system doesn't know of it | 23:39 |
| vexaxv | so will i get a .deb in my downloads or what..and how will i uninstall it | 23:40 |

| toraux_ | Hopefully someone can help me - just built a media pc and have ubuntu on it... the wireless works fine when I start and usually 25 minutes to an hour after startup I get some heavy duty packet loss. Rebooting usually fixes it | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: you will get a deb of the binaries you installed when you ran 'sudo make install' | 23:41 |
| whitneyandbobby | hey galen | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: it makes the files gel better with your OS as it is a package based OS | 23:41 |
| vexaxv | i ran checkinstall | 23:42 |
| vexaxv | but it said installing with make install | 23:42 |
