| GeForce88 | ubuntu 11.10. where is the screensaver feature and how do i enable screensavers and how do i get electric sheep to work ? all video drivers updated and installed. | 00:00 |
| Boohbah | Bndrr: you would have to stop the service that is running on that port. nmap does not do that | 00:00 |
| Timvde | Correct me if I'm wrong: nvidia drivers current will install the current newest drivers and keep them forever, while current-updates will keep them up-to-date whenever nvidia releases a new version, | 00:01 |
| Timvde | ? | 00:01 |
| Bndrr | and then how can I close that port ?or stop the service | 00:01 |
| === wylde_ is now known as wylde | ||
| dasen | Bndrr: one way is to configure your firewall to block incoming connections to that specified port, try gufw | 00:02 |
| OerHeks | GeForce88, maybe this page is any help >> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/enable-screensavers-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ | 00:02 |
| Bndrr | gufw ? | 00:02 |
| wylde | !ufw | Bndrr | 00:02 |
| ubottu | Bndrr: 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. | 00:02 |
| OerHeks | Timvde, yes nvidia will be up2date | 00:02 |

| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: use a wired connection | 00:13 |
| pilotbub | this is such a pita | 00:14 |
| StepNjump | Anybody of you guys ever experience that your USB mouse disapears? | 00:14 |
| StepNjump | I'm plugged in a USB router | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: imagine if you had windows and no driver disks...same deal | 00:14 |
| pilotbub | windows support OTB | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: there is the offline way using the install CD as a source of packages but a wired conenction will make it a LOT easier | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: not ALL wireless adapters | 00:15 |
| OerHeks | !offline | pilotbub | 00:15 |
| ubottu | pilotbub: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 00:15 |
| pilotbub | my install doesnt appear to have synaptic | 00:15 |
| OerHeks | true, synaptic is not default installed anymore | 00:16 |

| === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D | ||
| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: its not complex. You run an application and click 'enable driver' | 00:17 |
| egghead | why might I get a blank screen after enabling nvidia drivers? (nvs4200m w/ optimus) | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: how much easier can it get | 00:17 |
| pilotbub | what app | 00:17 |
| egghead | should I try disabling optimus? | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: 'additional drivers' | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | egghead: optimus can be a real pain | 00:18 |
| egghead | ya it can | 00:18 |
| egghead | but if I disable optimus does that disable the nvidia card | 00:18 |
| egghead | ? | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: yuo can also use the wired connection to get full updates | 00:20 |
| egghead | hmm, specifically the xorg log is showing 'no screens found' | 00:20 |
| pilotbub | how about the install from cd method | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | pilotbub: its on the guide ubottu gave.... | 00:21 |

| nishttal2 | how can i fix this? | 01:23 |
| DropsOfSerenity | nishttal2, ctrl-q is quit, just closing it will keep it running | 01:23 |
| airlynx | escott, the external drive was just a test to see if I could do it and to see the latest Ubuntu, I'd rather not have to have the external plugged in to access grub though | 01:24 |
| FattyMcFat | c ya guys later good luck with that bootloader | 01:24 |
| snickers_ | How do we kill tcp connections without closeing the applicaiton that is opening | 01:24 |
| nishttal2 | DropsOfSerenity, no i quit from the menu | 01:25 |
| nishttal2 | is there no way to remove the alerts | 01:25 |
| escott | nishttal2, why not go to the upper right where your name is and click off the notifications | 01:27 |
| nishttal2 | escott, oh that would only disable empathy notifications? | 01:28 |
| escott | nishttal2, yes | 01:28 |
| nishttal2 | escott, perfect.. thanks | 01:28 |
| Gracenotes | is there a way to set a keybinding to log off? | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | snickers_: good question | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | snickers_: could stop and start the networking service | 01:31 |
| Gracenotes | i.e. go back to window manager login screen | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Gracenotes: could bind it to: killall -u $USER | 01:32 |
| snickers_ | i dont want to interupt other connections | 01:33 |
| snickers_ | ActionParsnip, | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | snickers_: ah, not sure dude. I'd be interested in the solution though just for curiosity | 01:34 |

| scientes | how do i get copy-paste to work? | 01:36 |

| agentsoul | 12.04 how to exclude some folder from the DASH search? p mode for 12.04 | 01:38 |

| Gaming4JC | Does anyone know a ProxyCap alternative for Ubuntu? I tried tsocks but it doesn't support UDP :/ | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | agentsoul: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 01:38 |
| scientes | pangolin, between apps, without first copy/paste inside the app | 01:38 |
| scientes | pangolin, like from firefox to xchat | 01:38 |
| pangolin | scientes, I am not sure what you mean by "without first copy/paste inside the app" | 01:39 |
| scientes | pangolin, it doesn't work if you just copy in firefox and then try to paste in xchat | 01:39 |
| scientes | you have to copy in firefox, and then paste in firefox, and THEN it will work in xchat | 01:39 |
| pangolin | scientes, strange, it is working fine here | 01:39 |
| scientes | i've seen this problem before | 01:39 |
| escott | scientes, you might want to install some kind of xclipboard manager (although usually that is done to syncronize the select and cut buffers it might have the side effect of doing what you want) | 01:41 |

| pangolin | jenifferrr, paste the output of "sudo blkid" no quotes to paste.ubuntu.com please | 02:01 |
| pangolin | jenifferrr, then make sure to give us the url of the paste | 02:01 |
| pangolin | jenifferrr, actually you don't even need to paste it. look for TYPE="ntfs" and that will be your windows partition, mine is /dev/sdb1 | 02:03 |
| finish06 | thanks ActionParsnip !!!!! | 02:04 |
| deper29 | jenifferrr, here is how I would mount my windows drive: sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt | 02:04 |
| deper29 | so do what pangolin says and then run that command and you should be able to access windows stuff | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | finish06: simple stuff dude | 02:06 |
| airlynx | I'm back, booted into both systems somewhat okay, booted to my internal drive now, gonna wipe the external drive and start over, but I need to remove the settings for the external drive from grub, but there's a catch. Before I did this I had grub, now I think I have grub2, and the contents of the /boot directory on each the internal and external are completely different. Where do I even start? | 02:08 |
| no-name- | I did a sudo make install of python2.7 when I should have done sudo make altinstall.. it's messed some things, up some programs won't start. how do I reverse it? | 02:08 |
| airlynx | I'm checking in Synaptic on both the external and internal system, external drive reported that I had grub2 installed, internal drive reports that I have grub installed. But I select the internal drive at BIOS to load grub, and get a menu that looks like grub2, wtf is going on here? | 02:11 |
| Guzman | pangolin, how to use unity command is not available | 02:11 |
| escott | airlynx, there is a boot-info script which might be useful to you | 02:13 |
| jiffe2 | anyone know how to troubleshoot printer printing blank pages ? I have an HP laserjet 5m and I'm printing over the network, I can print to it fine from within windows | 02:13 |
| no-name- | anyone? | 02:13 |
| escott | airlynx, http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ | 02:13 |
| escott | no-name-, if you make uninstall you will likely hose your python 2.x install, but you could hope to recover it by reinstalling with apt | 02:15 |
| airlynx | perhaps I should just back up my files and do a complete reinstall, lol | 02:16 |
| no-name- | escott: what dir do I make uninstall from? | 02:16 |
| escott | no-name-, the same one you ran make install from. make sure you have an install cd in case you need to reinstall the os | 02:17 |
| no-name- | I do | 02:17 |
| no-name- | make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop. | 02:17 |
| no-name- | yeah. I guess I'll just reinstall Ubuntu, hehe | 02:17 |
| airlynx | escott, thank you for the boot info script info, I'll let you know how it works out | 02:18 |
| no-name- | or maybe I should just build 2.6 from source? | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jiffe2: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 02:18 |
| kevdog | aww shucks, same damn people here today as yesterday :) | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | kevdog: I'm sure there are subtle differences | 02:19 |
| jiffe2 | AcidRain2012, oneiric | 02:19 |
| kevdog | ActionParsnip: hardly discernable | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | jiffe2: you could delete the printer then install the latest HPLIP frmo the HPLIP site, then re-add | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | kevdog: possibly | 02:20 |
| finish06 | ActionParsnip, indeed!! I got it! thank you for the accurate link. that is often the hardest part before doign something "off radar" to me, finding a link I trust!!! I don't want to move files, etc when I not know what I am doiong. | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | finish06: you'll learn with time | 02:21 |
| wylde | keeping recent backups is good too! | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | oh definitely | 02:22 |
| kevdog | any reason rsync kind of craps out on me after transfer of between 2-4 gb worth of data? | 02:23 |
| kevdog | thats my problem with backups! | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | kevdog: what about a cp instead, is that ok? | 02:23 |
| wylde | I actually turned the machine I use for backups into an ltsp server and have all the homes on a cron with rsync to pull from each users /home. If a machine ends up with an unbootable HD it'll boot of the network. :) | 02:24 |
| kevdog | Haven't tried cp specifically however I guess I might off indirectly since Ive dragged and droppped in the gui over smb which does work -- which should imply its not a networking/network card issue | 02:25 |
| vexaxv | i got a .deb file with a little lock icon on it how do i uninstall debs like this it was creating using checkinstall | 02:25 |
| wylde | vexaxv: if you used sudo with checkinstall root owns the resulting package. | 02:26 |
| phix | vexaxv: you uninstall using the package management app | 02:26 |
| vexaxv | k | 02:26 |
| phix | vexaxv: like aptitude ot synaptic | 02:26 |
| wylde | vexaxv: what phix said, I misread the question. | 02:26 |
| vexaxv | k got it thanks guys | 02:27 |
| phix | unless you mean you want to delete the file | 02:27 |
| phix | awesome, glad i could help | 02:27 |
| Guzman | somebody please give me option to reset the menu bar of my ubuntu my dad came and remove all menus and messed stuff up I want default layout please | 02:27 |
| vexaxv | well i did uninstall but the .deb with the lock icon it created is still in my folder | 02:27 |
| airlynx | escott, here is the output of the boot info script: http://pastebin.com/nVcSVj7k but I don't really understand it | 02:28 |
| phix | Guzman: easiest way is to move or delete your .gconf and maybe .config and .local directories from home directory | 02:28 |
| wylde | vexaxv: you can just chmod the file, or sudo rm /path/to/filename. Just be careful when using sudo with rm. Typos can cause issues that way. | 02:29 |
| phix | and you should set your display to lock and require a password plus make your dad an account he can use and wreck :) | 02:29 |

| vexaxv | or whatever it is | 02:32 |
| vexaxv | yeah 1.46 | 02:32 |

| vexaxv | lol i dont want 1.8 | 02:36 |
| vexaxv | i want 1.10 | 02:36 |
| escott | airlynx, it appears you had grub1 installed on sda with sda5 as the partition containing /boot. you think installed ubuntu to sdb, but installed grub to the mbr of sda, and it needs to load sdb1 as the partition containing /boot. thats likely not supported by the bios hence your non-bootable system. | 02:36 |
| trism | vexaxv: it will not install wesnoth-1.8, it will just install the libraries necessary to build | 02:37 |
| JulinBM | /msg NickServ identify 34451584 | 02:37 |
| vexaxv | ohh | 02:37 |
| escott | airlynx, to fix things up boot a livecd and chroot into the respective systems and grub-install to the respective devices, you might also want to update the sda system to using grub2 instead of using grub1 | 02:37 |
| vexaxv | quick question why build "dep" | 02:37 |
| vexaxv | dependencies? | 02:37 |
| trism | vexaxv: yes | 02:37 |

| pangolin | JulinBM, change your nickserv password | 02:38 |

| JulinBM | ok | 02:39 |
| airlynx | escott, right now I cannot boot my computer without the external drive connected. If select the internal drive at the BIOS it will look for the external drive right away and then kicks me out to a grub rescue prompt with an error message that the external drive does not exist | 02:39 |

| Guzman | my .config directory delete it all? which part of it should I delete? phix | 02:40 |
| trism | vexaxv: maybe you don't have the source repos enabled, check software-properties-gtk | 02:40 |
| vexaxv | hang on | 02:40 |
| escott | airlynx, so go ahead and boot the external drive, and then chroot yourself into the installed system. you can upgrade to grub2 in that system at that point if you wish, or just rerun grub-install /dev/sda | 02:41 |

| cchildress | hi everyone. i've got this weird problem i've not encountered, and as i'm returning to linux after a few years i'm not familiar with grub 2. i have three hard drives and one dvdr, all sata. i had windows 7 installed on /dev/sda. i installed ubuntu to /dev/sdb because the ubuntu installer wouldn't recognize /dev/sda (even though it installed grub there!) (cont) | 02:44 |
| pangolin | JulinBM, I did not understand your question | 02:44 |
| JulinBM | pangolin, quero dizer, antes de entrar no canal? | 02:44 |
| cchildress | so after installation, i can boot into ubuntu but windows isn't an option. however, now ubuntu detects both ntfs partitions on /dev/sda and will mount them, no problem. i want to add windows to the choice of bootable os. what's teh best way to do this? | 02:44 |
| JulinBM | pangolin, well, sorry... | 02:44 |
| escott | airlynx, from the external drive it adds its record to the mbr. from a chroot into the internal drive (with the external as the boot device) it installs the internal drives record to the mbr | 02:44 |
| pangolin | JulinBM, use the server window to send nickserv command | 02:45 |
| kevdog | Whats a good pdf joiner program to join a lot of pdfs? | 02:45 |
| pangolin | JulinBM, that way you will not send it to channel by accindent | 02:45 |

| trism | kevdog: pdftk works pretty well | 02:45 |
| airlynx | escott, so how is that different from running it right now while I'm booted to the internal drive? | 02:45 |
| JulinBM | pangolin, ok! is this | 02:46 |
| kevdog | pdftk -- Does this require kde libraries? | 02:46 |
| escott | airlynx, in other words. if you dont chroot you have the version of grub on the external (grub2) if you chroot you have grub1. if you don't chroot your /boot is sdb1 on the external and grub-install by default points to that, within the chroot it looks like sda5/boot is /boot and by default it points to that | 02:46 |
| JulinBM | pangolin, it was an accident | 02:46 |
| vexaxv | dang this is takin forever | 02:46 |
| trism | kevdog: it uses very few libraries, apt-cache depends pdftk | 02:46 |
| escott | airlynx, i thought you couldn't boot the internal at all | 02:46 |
| escott | airlynx, if you have booted the internal then just grub-install /dev/sda | 02:47 |
| Bndrr | hi, how can I encrypt a file or a directory ? | 02:47 |

| vexaxv | to get the dep files | 02:54 |
| JulinBM | pangolin, I entered the channel ubuntu-br, but now I try to help with bluetooth and still could not. | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: sudo apt-get -f install | 02:54 |
| trism | vexaxv: apt-get build-dep wesnoth-1.8; | 02:54 |
| escott | Bndrr, the main programs are pretty much limited to three (although you may find guis for some of these) gpg, ecryptfs, mdcrypt (but thats for devices not files or folders) | 02:54 |

| MrUnagi | How can I modprobe nbd at boot | 02:56 |
| gr8tripstr | thanks xangua! so i jus read...lol got it | 02:56 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: run: echo "nbd" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null | 02:57 |
| airlynx | escott, thank you very much, that worked, now theoretically if I wanted to turn that external drive into a LiveCD (which was what I was trying to do in the first place) what would I need to do? | 02:57 |
| MrUnagi | Or permanently | 02:57 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: yes it will get loaded at boot | 02:57 |
| escott | airlynx, i think you just need to do a grub-install /dev/sdb once you have booted the external drive | 02:58 |
| escott | airlynx, but it still requires some bios support that not all bioses will have | 02:58 |
| airlynx | escott, maybe I should do some research before I try it again, lol, but thank you very much for your help | 02:58 |
| escott | airlynx, the bios on your system probably does (based on your ability to boot with grub on sda pointing to sdb | 02:59 |
| MrUnagi | ActionParsnip: Can /dev/nbd0p1 be auto mounted afterward? | 03:00 |
| airlynx | escott, my system does not have a working CD-ROM drive, I did all this with 2 USB hard drives (installed the Ubuntu install image on a second HDD) so I know my BIOS has full capability to do so | 03:00 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: you could add the mount command in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line and mount it, it may work if you add it in fstab then simply add: mount -a in rc.local | 03:01 |
| MrUnagi | Seems nbd didn't load | 03:01 |
| MrUnagi | ActionParsnip: I though about that but it requires sudo | 03:02 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: or add the modprobe command in /etc/rc.local | 03:02 |
| === jtrucks is now known as jdevil | ||
| === jdevil is now known as jtrucks | ||
| MrUnagi | Will rc.local run as root | 03:03 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: indeed | 03:04 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: add commands above the exit 0 line or they won't run | 03:04 |
| vexaxv | well that fixed the issue however now it says i need boost library | 03:04 |
| MrUnagi | So modprobe nbd && mount /dev/nbd0p1 /media/foo? | 03:04 |
| trism | vexaxv: what does it say exactly? | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: sure :) | 03:06 |
| vexaxv | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CEWXtRS7 | 03:07 |
| MrUnagi | ActionParsnip: DIDN'T WORK :( | 03:08 |
| MrUnagi | sorry caps | 03:08 |
| trism | vexaxv: libboost-system1.46-dev | 03:08 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: did you reboot? | 03:08 |
| MrUnagi | Yes | 03:08 |
| vexaxv | synpatic? | 03:08 |
| MrUnagi | Shutdown -r now | 03:08 |
| trism | vexaxv: if you prefer, or just: sudo apt-get install package; | 03:08 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: very weird | 03:09 |
| trism | vexaxv: also very helpful when compiling: apt-cache search -n libsomething dev | 03:09 |
| vexaxv | now im missing boost thread library lol | 03:09 |
| vexaxv | ill download that too >.< | 03:09 |
| vexaxv | i thought i already downloaded all this.. | 03:10 |
| trism | vexaxv: might want: libboost1.46-all-dev if you don't want to track them all down, they may be new deps for the 1.10 version | 03:10 |
| MrUnagi | Oh wait | 03:10 |
| MrUnagi | I forgot a command im sorry | 03:10 |
| hieunguyen | I backed up my harddisk by using CloneZilla. Now I want to read the image file created by CloneZilla to extract some files. I followed the instruction here: http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/43_read_ntfsimg_content.faq#43_read_ntfsimg_content.faq . When I run the command "cat sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.* | gzip -d -c | ntfsclone --restore-image -o sda1.img -" it said: ntfsclone v2011.4.12AR.4 (libntfs-3g) | 03:11 |
| hieunguyen | ERROR: Input file is not an image! (invalid magic) | 03:11 |
| hieunguyen | how do i fix it? | 03:11 |
| vexaxv | damn too many deps.. | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | hieunguyen: i'd ask in a clonezilla channel | 03:12 |
| vexaxv | holy crap its building | 03:12 |
| vexaxv | lol | 03:12 |
| vexaxv | after 1000 deps | 03:12 |
| vexaxv | >.< | 03:12 |
| trism | vexaxv: success! | 03:13 |
| vexaxv | :) ty | 03:13 |
| hieunguyen | ActionParsnip: if you know the channel name, please point me to | 03:13 |
| hieunguyen | otherwise, i will google | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hieunguyen: #clonezilla | 03:13 |
| vexaxv | when u build | 03:13 |
| vexaxv | u can use scons | 03:13 |
| vexaxv | so it says just type scons | 03:13 |
| vexaxv | its building | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hieunguyen: didn't think to try the obvious first...? | 03:13 |
| vexaxv | is that gonna install it for me or what | 03:13 |
| hieunguyen | ActionParsnip: good advice | 03:13 |
| vexaxv | or just build itself into the folder | 03:14 |
| haux | Unrelated to Ubuntu, but does anyone know of a firefox plugin that will let you start a new download and merge with an existing partially downloaded file? | 03:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hieunguyen: ;) | 03:14 |
| trism | vexaxv: it will probably just compile it, there may be an install target, should check out the README | 03:14 |
| vexaxv | hm | 03:14 |
| vexaxv | if it does install can i delete the folder that i used to compile it with | 03:14 |
| vexaxv | the source code folder | 03:15 |
| gr8tripstr | is there any reason to use utorrent server? it appears theres a built in torrent downloader... | 03:15 |
| xangua | gr8tripstr: you are the one that asked for it, you tell us | 03:15 |
| wylde | gr8tripstr: if all you wanted was to download using torrents, the you most certainly didn't need the server. | 03:16 |
| donavan01 | can someone tell me how to search for file from the command line or do I have to have nautilus to do that | 03:16 |
| gr8tripstr | haha, well i love it on windows...thought i needed it but then when i clicked on a torrent it didnt even load in the utorrent and just started downloading on its own | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | gr8tripstr: no idea, familiarity I guess | 03:16 |
| gr8tripstr | ya no need for utorrent til they get the gui finished | 03:17 |
| trism | vexaxv: yes, you can delete the source directory once you install it if you wish (often, if they use autotools they may have an uninstall target, so it may be good to keep those around for later) | 03:17 |
| escott | haux, very much server dependent. not all servers support http resume. firefox will resume when it can | 03:17 |
| MrUnagi | ActionParsnip: Rebooting again I bet it works this time | 03:18 |
| vexaxv | k brb hang on | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: here's hoping :D | 03:18 |
| MrUnagi | :) | 03:18 |
| engkur | i use transmission for torrent | 03:18 |
| MrUnagi | Setting up a "Dropbox" for my dad | 03:18 |
| MrUnagi | Learned today I despise ntfs | 03:18 |
| engkur | and aria2 for textmode torrent | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | engkur: if you leave the system on and enabled the web ui, you can remote manage torrents via web interface or even android phone / iphone etc | 03:19 |
| haux | escott, I understand that. However, if the session ends with the site, firefox will no longer let you resume a partially downloaded file, whether the server allows it or not. I used to use a windows program called GetRight back in dialup days. You could resume a download days after starting it. | 03:19 |
| MrUnagi | I think everything is working except the mount | 03:19 |
| scientes | haux, works for me | 03:19 |
| scientes | with ff 11 | 03:19 |
| scientes | but yeah, i still end up using wget -c sometimes.... | 03:19 |
| gr8tripstr | ya transmission all the way | 03:20 |
| scientes | gr8tripstr, thats only for torrents | 03:20 |
| scientes | but wget -c will always work.... | 03:20 |
| haux | scientes, seriously? If you clear your download list and start a new download, ff 11 will ask you if you want to resume the partially downloaded file? | 03:20 |
| gr8tripstr | ya i figured that out after i spent an hour trying to install utorrent server ( which i did suceed) haha | 03:20 |
| scientes | MrUnagi, yeah ntfs sucks, but what specifically are your problems with it? | 03:20 |
| === irdx is now known as irdxafk | ||
| MrUnagi | scientes: Has problems with special characters | 03:21 |
| scientes | haux, oh no, then use wget, its cross platform, and will work with started downloads from any program | 03:21 |
| MrUnagi | But more maddening....Leno chmod, or chown | 03:21 |
| scientes | MrUnagi, actually no, it doesn't. NTFS works will all characters but / and NULL | 03:21 |
| MrUnagi | S/Leno/no | 03:21 |
| scientes | MrUnagi, its explorer that adds those limitations, but the filesystem is fine | 03:22 |
| === teligard2 is now known as teligard | ||
| gr8tripstr | so whats so cool about ubuntu...i jus find everything to be twice as hard...i guess i only know windows tho | 03:22 |
| === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away | ||
| escott | haux, you could try wget, but if its requiring some kind of login thats going to be tough | 03:22 |
| scientes | gr8tripstr, what do you need help with? | 03:22 |
| haux | scientes, the issue is, I mostly have a need for this on youtube. Using DownloadHelper to download youtube videos. There isn't really a direct link to the file that I can use with wget. At least not that I've been able to find | 03:22 |
| MrUnagi | Ok well I don't like it | 03:22 |
| napalm54 | In ubuntu 12.04, I am trying to set an audio device to surround sound, but I do not see an option to. Anyone know how to? | 03:22 |
| scientes | haux, ahh, well with youtube, you can just install htop, fine the PID of the flash process, and then copy out of /proc/$UID/fd/N | 03:22 |
| scientes | haux, it use to be in /tmp for easy copying, but that stopped quite a few flash version ago | 03:23 |
| gr8tripstr | scientes, i really don't know...jus new exploring this os...trying to find some reasons to stick with it and not go back to windows 8 | 03:23 |
| mhaz | haux-xvideoservicethief | 03:23 |
| scientes | gr8tripstr, its a way better OS, there are tons of things that windows people think they are "haxors" for using in windows, that are just standard in linux, like mounting CD's for example, that is one line in linux, and part of the core os | 03:24 |
| teligard | Hi all. Could someone help me get my audio working in Ubuntu 11.10? | 03:24 |
| haux | scientes, the DownloadHelper addon lets you download youtube videos. That's not the problem. I was just looking to see if there was an addon for a different download manager that had better support for pausing/resuming downloads. | 03:24 |
| scientes | gr8tripstr, and the whole OS upgrades as one piece, which works much better and is far less annoying | 03:24 |
| scientes | haux, yeah but downloadhelper requires you to download the video twice | 03:24 |
| haux | scientes, I don't think so? You don't have to load the video to download it. | 03:25 |
| scientes | haux, you could use youtube-dl alternatively, but b/c the double-download it is not good for my purpose-----apt-get install youtube-dl | 03:25 |
| haux | I use it every day. | 03:25 |
| scientes | haux, yeah, it downloads it twice | 03:25 |
| === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin | ||
| gr8tripstr | gotcha, ya i did upgrade the os and it was super smooth | 03:25 |
| scientes | the only way to not download twice is to take it from the flash process haux | 03:25 |
| MrUnagi | ActionParsnip: /etc/fstab just needs /dev/nbd0p2 /media/foo? | 03:25 |
| napalm54 | gr8tripstr: I am an avid Windows user (for games), but I also love Ubuntu and Linux in general. Can take some time to get use to though | 03:25 |
| mhaz | haux-http://xviservicethief.sourceforge.net/ | 03:25 |
| mhaz | pay attention | 03:25 |
| haux | Well, for me it doesn't. I've downloading 4 videos right now, once. I don't need to let the video load to do this. I open the page, start the download, close the page. | 03:26 |
| scientes | gr8tripstr, there are bazillions more reason, like that old hardware never goes "unsupported" where you are stuck to an old windows cause the manufacture wants you to buy new stuff, for example | 03:26 |
| haux | mhaz, I'm checking that out | 03:26 |
| napalm54 | Anyone know how to set an audio device to surround sound in Ubuntu 12.04, was easy to in 11.10, but cant find the option now. | 03:26 |
| scientes | gr8tripstr, read this: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html | 03:26 |
| gr8tripstr | so whats the deal with asking for my password constantly... | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: it needs file system type too, the other lines will five clues | 03:26 |
| gr8tripstr | thanks guys i love the feedback | 03:26 |
| napalm54 | gr8tripstr: Protection, you can turn that off, but that isn't a good idea | 03:26 |
| scientes | ^^ | 03:26 |
| MrUnagi | Is nbd the fs type? | 03:27 |
| napalm54 | gr8tripstr: Kind of like UAC in Windows vista/7 | 03:27 |
| gr8tripstr | k ya thats what i've read | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: its will be vfat, ntfs, ext4 etc etc | 03:27 |
| scientes | napalm54, except it actually works | 03:27 |
| gr8tripstr | ya i always disable that uac hah | 03:27 |
| napalm54 | scientes: I was not sure UAC did not work | 03:27 |
| scientes | gr8tripstr, UAC is fundamentally broken www.pretentiousname.com/misc/win7_uac_whitelist2.html napalm54 | 03:27 |
| scientes | CALCULATOR runs elevated in windows | 03:28 |
| napalm54 | Needs more processing time | 03:28 |
| napalm54 | lol | 03:28 |
| gr8tripstr | so is google chrome not the most awesome browser ever? | 03:29 |
| napalm54 | I have had to turn UAC off, some programs had issues installing with it. But UAC isnt needed if you are smart and/or have good internet security (Kaspersky :) ) | 03:29 |
| teligard | UAC is funny. It bludgeons you with requests and warnings, and dulls your senses until you hit that do it key one the 210th time (when you shouldn't have), then the general copout is "weren't you warned"? | 03:29 |
| napalm54 | Chrome is awesome :) | 03:29 |
| MrUnagi | Is scientes the windows defender (pun) | 03:29 |
| napalm54 | I am pretty much using everything Google right now, except Chrome OS | 03:29 |
| napalm54 | Windows Firewall | 03:30 |
| gr8tripstr | chrome os? | 03:30 |
| teligard | Any ideas on how to get my audio working? | 03:30 |
| napalm54 | Another OS from Google, based on linux, supposed to be very light weight | 03:30 |
| napalm54 | teligard | 03:30 |
| teligard | It's a hit or miss proposition for me so far | 03:30 |
| napalm54 | what Version of ubuntu? | 03:30 |
| teligard | 11.10 | 03:30 |
| gr8tripstr | nice, how can u go wrong... | 03:30 |
| scientes | gr8tripstr, google chrome is proprietary software that neglects your privacy | 03:31 |
| napalm54 | I believe you can search sound in unity, bring up the sound options and select the audio device you want | 03:31 |
| napalm54 | scientes: How so? | 03:31 |
| scientes | gr8tripstr, chromium IS available in ubuntu, but google doesn't make it easy to package | 03:31 |
| MrUnagi | I lost contact with my server :( | 03:31 |
| MrUnagi | Fun! | 03:31 |
| napalm54 | scientes: Chromium is in the ubuntu software center right? | 03:31 |
| === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away | ||
| scientes | napalm54, it keeps a uniquie ID from downloading, that it sends with every google request, and tries to get you to link the browser with a google account (BTW you can only get google accounts with a mobile phone these days) | 03:32 |
| MrUnagi | Uh....I think I really messed something up | 03:32 |
| MrUnagi | Network is up but I cant reach my ubuntu box | 03:33 |

| teligard | napalm54: I'm going to reboot and see if anything changes. I am not running unity | 03:33 |
| ominomi | :) | 03:33 |
| haux | mhaz, from the looks of it, that may be even more than I was hoping for. I'm trying to install it now, but I'm getting a Not Found error in the software center | 03:33 |

| jDog | is ubuntu good for serving a php/mysql stack? | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: I suggest you use checkinstall to make a deb of your efforts for easy installation if you need it again :) | 03:44 |

| ubottu | jDog: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

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+) | 03:44 |

| vexaxv | how do i sudo move a file to somewhere else | 03:51 |
| wylde | vexaxv: sudo mv /path/to/file /path/to/destination | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | austin182: install windows first, leave free space if you are clean installing, or the Ubuntu installer can resize the current NTFS | 03:51 |
| gr8tripstr | I think im gonna burn all my windows discs...i heard they scream "don't use linux" before they turn to ashes... | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: run: gksudo nautilus /usr/share/applications | 03:52 |
| austin182 | Okay I will do that sorta makes sense I am new to this computer stuff | 03:53 |

| vexaxv | k i put the wesnoth file in applications | 03:54 |
| vexaxv | but when i click the dash i cant find wesnoth | 03:54 |
| vexaxv | :( | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: its not the file, you need to make a NEW desktop file to run your command | 03:55 |
| vexaxv | do i have to restart unity | 03:55 |
| vexaxv | huh? | 03:55 |
| vexaxv | how do i do that | 03:55 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: I never said to copy the file. | 03:55 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: copy one of the existing files in that folder and make a copy, then open the copy in gedit and change it | 03:56 |
| vexaxv | oo | 03:56 |
| vexaxv | smart dude over here | 03:56 |
| vexaxv | lol | 03:56 |
| vexaxv | whats the terminal command for copy n paste | 03:56 |
| wylde | vexaxv: cp /path/to/file /path/to/destination | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: if you copy one that's already a game, it will appear in the games section | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: you will need sudo as the folder is owned by root | 03:59 |
| austin182 | Ubuntu boots up into recovery mood every time...how do I make Ubuntu boot straight to my desktop? | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: you can do the copy and edit in the nautilus you ran earlier too, probably easier | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | austin182: hold shift at boot and select the none recovery mode | 04:00 |
| vexaxv | dang wont let me copy n paste | 04:00 |
| wylde | vexaxv: but it's good to get familiar with command line too :) | 04:00 |
| austin182 | Thanks again! | 04:00 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: do you have gnomine installed? | 04:00 |
| vexaxv | yes | 04:00 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: is there a file in /usr/share/applications to run gnomine? | 04:01 |
| vexaxv | yep | 04:01 |
| paulus68 | If I want to setup a pxe server can I do this on an existing one that I use as fileserver at the moment or is it better to start from scratch on a seperate machine? | 04:01 |
| PartFormat | I have two partitions on a single external hdd. I need to partition and format it so that it is a single blank drive. How do I do this? | 04:01 |
| vexaxv | well shit | 04:01 |
| vexaxv | there was in the command line | 04:01 |
| vexaxv | not in the gui | 04:01 |
| FloodBot1 | vexaxv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: what icons do you have in there for games>? | 04:02 |
| vexaxv | mahjongg | 04:03 |
| vexaxv | theres one | 04:03 |
| gr8tripstr | why isn't my launcher autohiding? | 04:03 |
| PartFormat | How do I format a hdd using command line? | 04:04 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: is the filename 'mahjong'? | 04:04 |
| totesmuhgoats | PartFormat: what filesystem? | 04:04 |
| totesmuhgoats | PartFormat: man mkfs | 04:04 |
| vexaxv | yep | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | PartFormat: use mkfs.<file system type wanted> e.g. mkfs.ext2 | 04:05 |
| PartFormat | NTFS I guess? How can I tell what it is currently? It has two partitions | 04:05 |
| totesmuhgoats | PartFormat: you can't format to ntfs from linux | 04:05 |
| totesmuhgoats | and if you could you wouldn't want to | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: ok then run: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/mahjong.desktop /usr/share/applications/wesnoth.desktop | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | totesmuhgoats: you can with ntfsprogs | 04:05 |
| totesmuhgoats | ActionParsnip: hmm, i was unaware. well you still probably wouldn't want to | 04:06 |
| PartFormat | I just need to format it to anything at all tht windows can see (It is currently partitioned and one of the partitions is not a format Windows even sees, so I cannot format it from windows). | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | totesmuhgoats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/927391/ | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | totesmuhgoats: I wouldn't either, I'd use an MS OS to format it so I know it's good | 04:06 |
| vexaxv | k i got it | 04:07 |
| vexaxv | now how do i edit it to open wesnoth in my home folder | 04:07 |
| totesmuhgoats | PartFormat: i think the link ActionParsnip sent is intended for you | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: ok now run: gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/wesnoth.desktop and change it all :) | 04:07 |
| totesmuhgoats | but ntfs has issues even being read in linux, so i would just boot into windows to format it | 04:07 |
| totesmuhgoats | or connect the drive to a windows pc | 04:07 |
| totesmuhgoats | might even be able to do it with iscsi, not too familiar with iscsi to be honest | 04:08 |
| vexaxv | k how do i edit this lol | 04:08 |
| vexaxv | ah wait i got it sorry | 04:08 |
| vexaxv | k whats gksudo do | 04:08 |
| PartFormat | It is a 2tb external hdd.. I canot see 500gb of it in windows, so I cannot even format that part from windows (at least not to my knowledge). | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: runs graphical apps as root | 04:08 |
| vexaxv | k hang on :) | 04:08 |
| vexaxv | thanks for all your help today by the way lol | 04:09 |

| PartFormat | What is a termanal command to list all hdds currently mounted? | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | PartFormat: mount | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | PartFormat: you mount partitions too, not drives | 04:11 |
| totesmuhgoats | ubuntu ran out of adjectives i'm familiar with in 11.10 it seems | 04:11 |
| jDog | anyone got a list of essential unix shell commands | 04:12 |
| jDog | ubuntu even | 04:12 |
| xangua | !terminal | jDog | 04:12 |

| vexaxv | okay so when u copied and pasted | 04:12 |
| vexaxv | what was that code again | 04:12 |
| vexaxv | that made another mahjong pop up again | 04:12 |
| zerocrisis | * would like to get streets&trips working in wine. | 04:13 |
| ElFilosofo21 | Saludos | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: the sudo cp command you ran, you will need to grab an icon file of your liking and set that in the Icon= line in the file | 04:14 |
| vexaxv | oh i did | 04:15 |
| PartFormat | Ok so using 'mount' I discovered /sdc1 and /sdc5 are the two partitions on the external that I need to format back into a single drive that windows can read. How do I format them both to a single partition/drive? like fat32? | 04:15 |
| vexaxv | im just wondering what was that command incase i need to place another shortcut on unity | 04:15 |
| ian_mac | is it normal for Precise to idle a lot higher than Oneiric? | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: and change the Exec= line the rest is purely cosmetic but is good to just get done :) | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ian_mac: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 04:15 |
| vexaxv | :) | 04:15 |
| ian_mac | oh sorry | 04:15 |

| vexaxv | it was sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg /usr/share/applications/wesnoth | 04:16 |
| vexaxv | right? | 04:16 |
| vexaxv | no no it was sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg /usr/share/applications/majongg | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: you need the .desktop extension | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: your second command won't work as source == dest | 04:17 |
| vexaxv | i thought so | 04:17 |
| vexaxv | but i had two majonggs | 04:17 |
| vexaxv | not one majongg and one wesnoth | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: yes but you editted the wesnoth one, right? | 04:17 |
| vexaxv | yes | 04:18 |
| vexaxv | i got it workin | 04:18 |
| vexaxv | i checked it | 04:18 |
| PartFormat | Is it possible to format a partiton to fat32 using a linux terminal? | 04:18 |
| vexaxv | but u copied majongg | 04:18 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: so press F5 in nautilus and the icon should change | 04:18 |
| vexaxv | i dont think u understand me lol | 04:18 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: yes copied mahjong so it appears in the games folder | 04:18 |
| vexaxv | explain the code u wrote | 04:18 |
| vexaxv | sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg /usr/share/applications/wesnoth | 04:19 |
| vexaxv | thats the code right | 04:19 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: it just duplicates the desktop file that runs mahjong so you can edit it to make it run your wesnoth command. We copied the mahjong file so that it appears in the games section of dash | 04:19 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: yno, it: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg.desktop /usr/share/applications/wesnoth.desktop | 04:19 |
| ElFilosofo21 | Saludos, | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | wesley: you missed the fiel extension | 04:20 |
| vexaxv | but that copys majongg to wesnoth | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: you missed the file extension. the file /usr/share/applications/majongg doesn't exist | 04:20 |
| vexaxv | i had two majonggs | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: yes you said, several times now | 04:20 |
| legasp | misssssing file extensssionss? | 04:21 |
| vexaxv | i must be havin a slow night or somethin..so u copied and pasted it but instead of getting a wesnoth.desktop i got another majongg, whys that | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: you edit the wesnoth one so that it executes your wesnoth binary, you ALSO edit the icon line to a file of your choosing so it looks different | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: its just got the same details inside it, as we only copied it, so it will look exactly the same | 04:21 |
| vexaxv | i got all that lol | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: you now need to edit it | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: so where is the issue? | 04:22 |
| paulus68 | If I want to setup a pxe server can I do this on an existing one that I use as fileserver at the moment or is it better to start from scratch on a seperate machine? | 04:22 |
| vexaxv | i know, im just wondering why did u copy majongg to wesnoth | 04:22 |
| vexaxv | i got two majonggs | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: you don't. One runs wesnoth and the othjer runs mahjong as you editted the file | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: it only LOOKS like you do as you didn't change the icon file | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: well, line | 04:22 |
| sachin_ | Hi | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: I suggest you download an icon you like from the web and put it in your file system some place out of the way, you can then change the Icon= line in wesnoth.desktop to point to it, and it will be used | 04:24 |
| ActionParsnip | vexaxv: the file will then change appearence and be what you want. It will also appear in dash and you can even drag it to the Unity bar if you wish | 04:24 |

| vexaxv | hm.. | 04:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tewecske: what if you remove the nvidia driver altogether and boot using the open source driver | 04:26 |
| tewecske | i'm gonna try that now, just removed it but maybe someone have a better idea :) | 04:27 |

| busybyeski | ActionParsnip: you mean like /dev/sdb? can i view that in the file browser or terminal? | 04:40 |
| tewecske | but it's not as good as it was before, so how can I found out why the UI freezes with nvidia driver? | 04:41 |

| BootGuy | I just installed Ubuntu (12.04) on a partition of my main drive. However when restartined I didn't run into the linux boot laoder (Grup? Or named something like that). How can I get it to reach the boot loader when first booting up? | 05:55 |

| gimbal | hi all, so I'm getting back into ubuntu after a bit of a hiatus in toying around with windoz. Right now, I'm trying to build a package from source, using dbuild. I'm familiar with this process, and the concept of build-depends. My question centers around that there's a script I know used to be available for downloading build-deps by parsind debian/control - I just can't remember the name of it... | 06:49 |
| RuJN | ActionParsnip: it means the device is protected from being recorded, can be mounted only for reading | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbuntu2: you'll find examples of the route command online, or read: man route i'd search too but on GSM its gonna be painfully slow | 06:50 |
| RuJN | ActionParsnip: it means the device is protected from being recorded, can be mounted only for reading | 06:51 |
| RuJN | ActionParsnip: the answer was: mount: блочное устройство /dev/sr0 защищен от записи, монтируется только для чтения | 06:51 |
| bobo37773 | gimbal: get-build-deps? | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbuntu2: you can add the command in /etc/rc.local to run at boot. Add it above the exit 0 line | 06:52 |
| topelo | how do i get into grub on startup? | 06:52 |
| gimbal | bobo37773: I found something like that in a haskell related package. As I recall, the script I remember wasn't packaged specific to haskell | 06:52 |
| auronandace | topelo: hold shift | 06:52 |
| topelo | forget? | 06:52 |
| topelo | thx auronandace | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | RuJN: well yeah, its an optical media. Think about it | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | RuJN: you should be able to access the data from /media/cdrom0 | 06:53 |
| bobo37773 | gimbal: Yeah I am not sure. I usually either builkd the dependencies for packages before hand or let my package manager handle it. | 06:54 |
| BootGuy | I am trying to recover grub after windows wiped it out. after typing 'root (hd0,0)' I tried 'setup (hd0)' but I got the error 'Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition' am I using the wrong partition? | 06:54 |
| gimbal | tx | 06:54 |
| RuJN | ActionParsnip: there is such device but it's a USB mobile internet modem, maybe it's the problem? | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Bootguy: omgubuntu has a guide called: sticking it to grub. It uses a livecd/usb. You can reinstate grub there | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | RuJN: i thought you said it was a cd..? | 06:56 |
| === ubuntu64bit is now known as topelo | ||
| ActionParsnip | RuJN: what happened to a couple of videos on a CD? | 06:56 |
| RuJN | ActionParsnip: yes it's. The CD is insrected, but the modem is also and on windown and on ubuntu it's recognised as a cd | 06:57 |

| Merwin_ | Hi. I'm trying to uninstall gnome-terminal on 12.04 because I installed terminator, but it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop. Why? Is it a problem ? | 07:23 |
| ax562 | I know I used to have dual boot of ubuntu 10.04 a while bac | 07:23 |
| ax562 | I also have virtual maching on my windows pc | 07:23 |
| rinzler42 | Merwin_: apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop | grep gnome-terminal | 07:24 |
| rinzler42 | It's a dep of ubuntu-desktop | 07:24 |
| everyl | !upgrade | 07:24 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 07:24 |
| ax562 | The thing is I bought a lapdock for my phone and I modded the crap out of the webtop partition | 07:24 |
| Merwin_ | rinzler42, so I can't uninstall it ? | 07:25 |
| ax562 | I'm 99% sure I cannot upgrade my maverick because I will probably break my webtop and wont be able to use my lapdock | 07:25 |
| Merwin_ | When I search for "term" in Unity, I got Terminal at first answer, that's boring because I want to use terminator... | 07:26 |
| rinzler42 | Merwin_: you can uninstall it, but either that'll break ubuntu-desktop or necessitate its consequant removal from the system too. They can live side by side, I'd wager ;) | 07:26 |
| dfcnvt | I'm looking for a software that can translate from qwerty keyboard setting to stenotype keyboard... I couldn't find it. | 07:26 |
| Merwin_ | rinzler42, maybe a way to "hide" it in the search ? | 07:27 |
| rinzler42 | ax562: heh, priorities >< | 07:27 |
| rinzler42 | Merwin_: hide it in what search? it's just a basic sorting algorithm afaik - a dependency is a dependency | 07:28 |
| Merwin_ | rinzler42, I don't know what's the name of this, but when you hit the "Windows" key on the keyboard, you can search for apps | 07:28 |
| Merwin_ | When I search for "term" I got Terminal first, not Terminator, that's why I want to uninstall it. I don't use it, why should I keep it ? | 07:29 |

| shani0610 | Hello guys linux newb here. | 07:36 |
| shani0610 | I would like to know if a 10 gig is enough for fed14? | 07:36 |
| wylde | shani0610: uhhh maybe you should ask in a Redhat channel. Redhat != Ubuntu | 07:37 |
| shani0610 | ups sorry I wanted to know for ubuntu 10.10 | 07:37 |
| iceroot | shani0610: 10gb is enough for the system itself you need about 4gb | 07:37 |
| iceroot | shani0610: + swap + your personal data, i am running ubuntu here with 8gb hdd | 07:38 |
| wylde | 10.10 is EOL I believe. | 07:38 |
| shani0610 | yeah thnx I am giving it a shot, | 07:38 |
| iceroot | shani0610: ah yes and ubuntu 10.10 is not supported anymore, please use 11.10 or 10.04 if you want a stable long-term support | 07:38 |
| wylde | !eol | 07:38 |
| ubottu | 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 | 07:38 |
| hyper_ch | shani0610: why ubuntu 10.10? that's not being supported for much longer | 07:38 |
| shani0610 | yes I know that | 07:39 |
| iceroot | hyper_ch: its already out of support | 07:39 |
| shani0610 | I am currently downloading it | 07:39 |
| hyper_ch | iceroot: it is? but 18 months would be end ofr april 2012 | 07:39 |
| iceroot | hyper_ch: 10.04.2012 | 07:39 |
| iceroot | !10.10 | 07:39 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. | 07:39 |
| hyper_ch | iceroot: ah, I always counted in full months ;) | 07:39 |
| iceroot | shani0610: please dont use 10.10 its not getting security updates anymore | 07:39 |
| shani0610 | Thnx guys... | 07:39 |
| iceroot | hyper_ch: me too :) | 07:40 |
| shani0610 | I am just trying to get a lose grasp of it | 07:40 |
| shani0610 | nothing else | 07:40 |
| hyper_ch | shani0610: default ubuntu installation requires about 1.5 GB diskspace... so 10GB is plenty for running the system with more applications... however to store videos and pictures it might be a bit limited | 07:40 |
| iceroot | shani0610: if i am correct 10.10 is using the old desktop gnome2 which is not available anymore and replaced with unity | 07:40 |
| napalm54 | Seems a lot of people hate on mono, why so? | 07:40 |
| iceroot | napalm54: no free software | 07:41 |
| shani0610 | Yep know that too | 07:41 |
| iceroot | !free | napalm54 | 07:41 |
| ubottu | napalm54: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 07:41 |
| ax562 | dam it...now I try to uninstall and I get errors... | 07:42 |
| iceroot | napalm54: so we removed everything from the 12.04 which is using mono | 07:42 |
| napalm54 | Mono is open source though right? | 07:42 |
| iceroot | from the 12.04 cd | 07:42 |
| iceroot | napalm54: "yes" but its using protected things by microsoft | 07:42 |
| shani0610 | I am feeling like a kid against a buncha spartans or shaolin monks... man I am outta here adios! | 07:42 |
| iceroot | napalm54: just a matter of time when microsoft will go crazy and sue the hell out of everything | 07:42 |
| hyper_ch | shani0610: better go with 12.04 directly... it still has a few bugs but it will be LTS (long term support) and should be officially released later this month | 07:43 |
| ezoe | if I upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10, is mono automatically removed? | 07:43 |
| Aquaguy | Hello | 07:43 |

| === Guest35202 is now known as Misha_Alchevsk | ||
| iceroot | ezoe: mono is still in ubuntu just a new installation of 12.04 will not install mono by default because its not needed for the default software anymore but srtill in the repos and useable | 07:44 |

| ax562 | because the compiler is looking for a file that isn't in the right place and because I can't uninstall it | 08:07 |

| paulus68 | where can I find a alternate server installation for 11.10 not available for an x386? | 09:00 |
| ne2k | I am trying to connect a bluetooth headset to my Natty machine. I can pair the device and get a connection that shows with hcitool con, but it never shows in the hardware list in sound preferences | 09:01 |
| Xtreme | guys, i created a adhoc network. but whenever i connect any device to it.. the device restarts.. any help? | 09:06 |
| nunnsby | hi all, I have a question re syslogs on ubuntu server 11.10 | 09:07 |
| nunnsby | I see there are 2 | 09:08 |
| nunnsby | syslog-ng and rsyslog | 09:08 |
| nunnsby | looked at the differences online but can't see too much difference. does one run by default, and the other not? | 09:08 |
| fidel | nunnsby: ps xau | grep sysl | 09:09 |
| fidel | should tell you what might currently running | 09:09 |
| Onnonymous | Xtreme: have you looked for clues in /var/log ? | 09:09 |
| fidel | nunnsby: a 10.04 box i have right here is using rsyslogd out of the box - if that helps | 09:10 |
| nunnsby | thanks guys, yeah, rsyslogd | 09:11 |
| Nhovha | quit | 09:11 |
| nunnsby | rsyslogd -c4 | 09:11 |
| nunnsby | okay, just wondering as need to setup a syslogging box for networks devices, so at least I know what it is running then | 09:12 |
| nunnsby | cheers for the help :) | 09:12 |
| nunnsby | fidel: I'm running it on 11.10, so yeah it is on that too then | 09:12 |
| nunnsby | thanks man | 09:12 |
| nunnsby | next question, while I think it through | 09:13 |
| nunnsby | is there any benefit on exporting logs to sql, apart from searching I suppose, as opposed to just letting them lie in /var/logs | 09:13 |
| nunnsby | and let them just retain that way? | 09:13 |
| nunnsby | any thoughts on the matter | 09:14 |

| GirlyGirl | realus: Try booting with an "acpi_backlight=vendor" kernel boot option | 09:17 |
| realus | GirlyGirl | 09:17 |
| realus | Could yu explain the procedure plz | 09:17 |
| realus | ? | 09:18 |
| GirlyGirl | realus: 1 sec | 09:18 |
| ruberto | exposing log info to sql attacks can be risky! there may be advantages, but i am a pesimist | 09:18 |
| realus | <GirlyGirl> you know, the brightness adjust works until I surpass the second set of updates | 09:18 |
| realus | the ones after the recommended security updates | 09:18 |
| realus | if you know what I mean ? | 09:18 |
| realus | so one of those update somehow disables the brightness changing | 09:19 |
| GirlyGirl | realus: try this http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=45271 | 09:19 |
| GirlyGirl | realus: Also if the update breaks it, you should file a bug report on launchpad | 09:19 |

| Guest89281 | hello | 09:39 |
| Guest89281 | anyone there | 09:39 |
| GirlyGirl | Xtreme: I told you shh MonkeyDust said ssh | 09:40 |
| Xtreme | lol.. | 09:40 |
| ruberto | if your in windows run dxdiag, or check systems requirements. | 09:40 |
| Xtreme | GirlyGirl: but shud i report? what u say? | 09:40 |
| Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie | WHAT | 09:41 |
| Xtreme | ubuntu bug. wifi error Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie | 09:41 |
| GirlyGirl | Xtreme: How on earth would you use ssh without a network connection? | 09:41 |
| Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie | this is cool i just discovered this now | 09:41 |
| Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie | lol | 09:41 |
| Xtreme | GirlyGirl: that is true,, so i got confused | 09:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Xtreme i use ssh, what is it you ant to do? | 09:42 |
| ruberto | lol, why would you want to ssh without an internet connection | 09:42 |
| Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie | uhhhm | 09:42 |
| Xtreme | well, i got nothing to do with ssh | 09:42 |
| MonkeyDust | want* | 09:42 |
| GirlyGirl | ruberto: You can with LAN as well | 09:42 |
| Xtreme | i created a ad-hoc network | 09:42 |
| Xtreme | and whenever a devices tried to conenct to it, it reboots | 09:42 |
| Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie | i like chocolate | 09:42 |
| Xtreme | i tried with three devices and they all rebooted | 09:42 |
| Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie | how cool. | 09:42 |
| Xtreme | when i created ad-hoc in windows, it worked | 09:43 |
| Xtreme | so my guess it, its ubuntu problem. | 09:43 |
| Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie | cool story bru. | 09:43 |
| Xtreme | i searched many forumns, but no one reported any such issue | 09:43 |
| Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie | OKAY SHUT UP | 09:43 |
| Xtreme | so i was wondering i should report this bug to ubuntu or not | 09:43 |
| ruberto | you would have to set up some sort of virtual server, ssh wont just send over you would need to have it run over a dns | 09:44 |
| tktiddle | how can i search aptitude to find a package that provides a particular file? | 09:44 |
| Xtreme | ruberto: bro, i dont want ssh | 09:44 |
| Xtreme | i just misread GirlyGirl | 09:44 |
| ruberto | oh lol soz no prob | 09:45 |
| Xtreme | ruberto: well, only 1.. when i try to connect to my ad-hoc, the other device reboots | 09:45 |
| Xtreme | well, honestly. i dont know why everyone assumed i want to do ssh without network connection.. coz that is just impossible.. | 09:46 |
| ruberto | thats odd behavior.. what are you running | 09:46 |
| Xtreme | ubuntu, 10.4 | 09:46 |
| stephane_yaal | #yaal | 09:46 |
| iceroot | tktiddle: apt-file for not installed packages, dpkg -S for installed packages | 09:47 |

| Xtreme | well, i can understand if single mobile was facing problem.. but how u explain 3 different mobiles... and second, i also thought hardware, but then how everything works in windows? | 09:51 |
| ruberto | but you say it works with windows? | 09:51 |
| Xtreme | ruberto: exactly | 09:51 |

| fidel | Marzata: the clock will still tick ;) | 11:17 |
| fidel | Marzata: ask a real question | 11:17 |
| MonkeyDust | !nounity| Marzata | 11:17 |
| ubottu | Marzata: 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 | 11:17 |
| appi_uppi | zvacet: yes yes :) | 11:18 |
| Marzata | 10.04 to 12.04, the desktop will be the same or no? | 11:18 |
| zvacet | appi_uppi: 8-) | 11:18 |
| MonkeyDust | Marzata no, 10.04 uses gnome2, 12.04 gnome3 | 11:18 |
| auronandace | Marzata: gnome2 will be dropped, plain and simple | 11:18 |
| dury | I want to know if 11.10 release will detect webcams | 11:19 |
| Marzata | so we have to teach our users to the new interface? | 11:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Marzata yes | 11:19 |
| auronandace | Marzata: gnome2 is no longer supported by the gnome devs | 11:19 |
| dury | in a laptop or desktop boxes | 11:19 |
| fidel | dury: it will detect at least some out of the box | 11:19 |
| Marzata | we spent 2 years to make their minds move to this interface... | 11:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Marzata ubuntu classic looks very much like gnome2, but it *is* gnome3 | 11:19 |

| zvacet | cray: do you want to change boot order? | 11:22 |
| cray | Yes... | 11:22 |
| cray | I`ve done it before years ago and it was simply a case of changing something in this file, just can`t remeber what!! | 11:22 |
| jrib | claudio: try #upstart | 11:22 |
| dury | fidel: for instance... in a laptop the webcam it's integrated. will it detect? | 11:23 |
| zvacet | cray: install startup manager and with it do what you want to do | 11:23 |
| auronandace | Marzata: starting with 12.04 the lts releases get 5 years support, that is rather reasonable | 11:23 |
| fidel | dury: as i told you before: - it might depend on the hardware / webcam modell | 11:23 |
| Noobyguy | ps -e | grep mono gives me 14259 ? 01:53:27 mono 14415 ? 01:55:34 mono | 11:23 |
| MonkeyDust | Noobyguy then kill 14259 | 11:23 |
| fidel | dury: it detected the inbuild wevcam in the last 3 laptops i had in my fingers - which still doenst cover your question - as it is too general | 11:24 |
| cray | zvacet - ~~OK , I don`t understand why everyone and all the google links tell me to install something. It is a hastle since the computer is not connected to the net. I did it just by simply editing so,mething last time!! | 11:24 |
| auronandace | Marzata: another year to go for 10.04 desktop support to end, so you still have time to transitiom | 11:24 |
| auronandace | transition | 11:24 |
| claudio | jrib, thx! | 11:24 |
| Noobyguy | Great thanks alot | 11:24 |
| cray | is there a reason I can no longer edit the boot order just by manually editing this grub.cfg file?? | 11:25 |
| fidel | dury: to make sure you might need to go the step from a general question -> to a hardware-specific question. So check what webcam might be in that specific laptop and then start the search for support over again | 11:25 |
| jrib | cray: you're on linuxnc; we can't tell you. This channel is for ubuntu support only | 11:25 |
| auronandace | cray: grub.cfg is generated from the files in /etc/grub.d/ you are meant to edit those and then issue update-grub | 11:25 |
| zvacet | cray:I think on http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/index.html you will find whaty are you looking for | 11:26 |
| cray | jrib - linuxcnc is just a programme no??? | 11:26 |
| dury | fidel: well... can you use it with skype... does it work? | 11:26 |
| jrib | cray: it's a distro, is it not? | 11:26 |
| fidel | dury: i dont use skype | 11:26 |
| dury | fidel: all right | 11:26 |
| cray | jrib - what is a distro? | 11:27 |
| jrib | cray: how did you install your linux? | 11:27 |
| fidel | we need a wiki-plugin for the bot ;) | 11:27 |
| zvacet | dury: boot live cd and see if your webcam is working | 11:27 |
| cray | I went on the internet and downloaded an iso | 11:28 |

| ikonia | Bndrr: that website works fine in linux | 11:31 |

| ikonia | Bndrr: it's more likley you don't have dns setup correctly in linux or something like that | 11:32 |

| Bndrr | how can I check the dns for this game ? | 11:32 |

| ikonia | subthalamus: the kernel module is not stable for read/write functionliaty | 11:33 |
| ikonia | Bndrr: you don't need an IP if dns is working | 11:34 |
| windowsmaker | need help | 11:34 |
| subthalamus | ikonia: ok, thanks, can u point me to a howto for switching to fuse then? | 11:34 |
| harold | rAg3-nix: ... yeah, but how can, for an instance, log it out? | 11:34 |
| ikonia | subthalamus: it's userspace, not /etc/fstab global as I said earlier | 11:34 |

| windowsmaker | ikonia: i do not need a question i need an answer | 11:35 |
| ikonia | windowsmaker: to give you an answer, we need to know the question | 11:35 |

| Kre10s | its neither xscreensaver of xlock... | 11:36 |
| subthalamus | ikonia: um, I know the difference between userspace and kernel space, but I've avoided fuse when possible supposedly because of performance issues | 11:36 |
| windowsmaker | ikonia: i have read your sentence wrong | 11:36 |
| windowsmaker | ikonia: what surprise? i am not lars | 11:36 |
| windowsmaker | well i set up ubuntu on an old machine but it is rery slow. what can i do | 11:36 |
| harold | rAg3-nix: sorry - i guess I'll get to the point: my nvidia drivers are acting up. I want to start using the non-proprietary ones -- how can I do this? which conf file would I have to edit? | 11:37 |
| Bndrr | I have this issue in pokerth someone know how to help ? http://i40.tinypic.com/2aj5nnk.png | 11:38 |
| engkur | windowmaker: using debian, much light than ubuntu, suitable for ram 128mb text mode | 11:38 |

| jrib | banseljaj: I like rsnapshot (see ubottu for more options) | 13:05 |

| banseljaj | !cloning | 13:06 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 13:06 |

| escott | banseljaj, assuming you mean a low level dd clone | 13:15 |
| auronandace | ric: got the right codecs installed? | 13:16 |
| banseljaj | escott: I did mean a low level dd clone. Is there a way to just clone the partition table and data, without cloning the sectors? | 13:16 |

| MrUnagi | I bet I would likely need a hardware solution for my needs | 13:20 |
| escott | banseljaj, im not sure i follow. clone the table and data, but not the sectors. where is the data if not in sectors? Why don't you just move/resize your partititons with gparted | 13:20 |

I was wondering if PHP could do something similar. If not, no worries, but I'd rather not run the whole of Apache if I just want to serve one single php file without a database. | 13:51 |

| notanothernuc | hi all. How would one go about applying the samba patch on an ubuntu machine that was installed with apt-get? | 13:55 |
| eddy_000 | Can someone help me with a lamp issue ive been having for erm..... 5 hours now :D | 13:56 |
| eddy_000 | Plase :( | 13:56 |
| jrib | !ask | eddy_000 | 13:56 |
| ubottu | eddy_000: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 13:56 |

| ubottu | eddy_000: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:56 |
| jrib | eddy_000: just ask your actual question | 13:56 |
| escott | bananapie, i doubt you can disable that. its the only warning that the server is not who you think it is | 13:56 |
| eddy_000 | how to instal phpmyadmin on unbuntu | 13:57 |
| geekbri | i wish phpmyadmin would just cease to exist. | 13:57 |
| eddy_000 | 11.10 | 13:57 |
| jorhaze | you can try ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null | 13:57 |
| johnfg | escott, I agree. it's doing what it's supposed to be doing. | 13:57 |
| johnfg | Like if our identity was verified that we are who our nick says we are. | 13:57 |
| jrib | bananapie: read « man ssh_config ». Pretty sure there's an option to disable the check... | 13:58 |
| jrib | bananapie: but why would you constantly be getting that message for the same server? | 13:58 |
| johnfg | I kinda 'solved' my problem with the server install of 11.10 by doing the manual config of Select and Install Software. | 13:58 |
| jrib | eddy_000: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin | 14:01 |
| bananapie | ever ssh to 192.168.1.1 ? a huge number of networks use this subnet | 14:01 |
| MonkeyDust | bananapie 192.168.1.1 is most likely your router | 14:02 |
| bananapie | Yes | 14:02 |
| jrib | bananapie: so turn it off for 192.168.1.1 | 14:02 |
| tooner | not sure if this is the best place to ask but hopefully someone can help.. ive cloned a failing raid5 ntfs array using clonezilla and crc failed but im hoping i can recover something.. im trying now to get it in a format where i can read the files.. any suggestions? | 14:02 |
| bananapie | ok | 14:02 |
| meet | how to setup a network between to ubuntu computer? | 14:03 |
| bazhang | tooner, perhaps #clonezilla | 14:03 |
| tooner | worth a try :) | 14:03 |
| MonkeyDust | bananapie if ssh to 192.168.1.1 says the identity has changed, maybe it's because it got new WAN ip address from your ISP | 14:03 |
| MonkeyDust | meet ssh is very easy | 14:04 |
| meet | MonkeyDust | 14:05 |
| meet | could u please explain? | 14:05 |
| MonkeyDust | meet install ssh on both pc's, then, in a terminal, type ssh [remote user]@[remote ip address] | 14:06 |
| meet | so no new software or setup is required? | 14:06 |
| johnfg | Ok, looks like the install succeeded and it has rebooted and I'm logged into the server. | 14:06 |
| johnfg | From the server, since it's cli at this point, how can I see what desktops are available? | 14:07 |
| escott | meet, you have to install openssh-server on the server, but the server automatically starts | 14:07 |
| meet | i want to creat a home network as in windows. is this what itt is escott? | 14:08 |
| escott | johnfg, if you ran ssh -X you can just start the gui apps as needed | 14:08 |
| MonkeyDust | idd | 14:08 |
| escott | meet, if you want to share files with windows computers use samba | 14:08 |

| mcb_ | escott: Have you looked in "man 5 ssh_config". I think "ssh -o CheckHostIP=no <host>" should do as you like. | 14:09 |
| johnfg | escott, right. I | 14:09 |
| killer | bazhang : i went there but no body's seems to be online there | 14:09 |
| johnfg | I'm just lookin at the sources.list. Is it recommended to uncomment the Canonicaland the extras repos? | 14:10 |
| escott | mcb_, i think bananapie wanted to disable it. i was discouraging his doing so | 14:10 |
| mcb_ | escott: Agrees with you. But it can be done. | 14:11 |
| auronandace | johnfg: recommended in what sense? that you don't want to recieve updates? | 14:11 |
| auronandace | johnfg: sorry, misread your question, i thought you said comment (not uncomment) | 14:15 |

| roasted | Random Question - Is HUD from Ubuntu open source? Is HUD dependent upon Unity to function? I'm curious what other distros could pick up HUD... any insight? | 14:53 |
| eddy_000 | Can someone help, My server wont install PHPMYADMIN, I searched for it and it just doesnt exist | 14:54 |
| MonkeyDust | roasted HUD is a Unity feature | 14:55 |
| roasted | MonkeyDust: I see. Well Unity is open source no? I assume HUD is too? | 14:56 |
| LjL | roasted: sure | 14:56 |
| MonkeyDust | roasted Unity = Gnome3 + Compiz | 14:56 |
| eddy_000 | None know my answer :S | 14:57 |
| mneptok | !info phpmyadmin | 14:57 |
| ubottu | phpmyadmin (source: phpmyadmin): MySQL web administration tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 4:3.4.5-1 (oneiric), package size 5115 kB, installed size 17692 kB | 14:57 |
| Timmy | how can i configure package manager to keep downloaded packages under /var/cache/apt/archive? i mean after a while it removes them but i want to keep all of them | 14:57 |
| johnfg | On another note...I see that using lvm2 for disk partitioning in server 11.10, that the default was still to use ext2 for /boot. | 14:57 |
| johnfg | Shouldn't grub be able to handle ext4? | 14:57 |
| mneptok | eddy_000: there's the package right there in the universe repo | 14:57 |
| jorhaze | eddy do: "dpkg -l|grep phpmyadmin" to see if it is installed | 14:58 |
| johnfg | for boot, i.e.? | 14:58 |
| escott | johnfg, ext4 has not real advantages for a small infrequently used partition like /boot | 14:58 |
| auronandace | johnfg: sure, but /boot is meant to be small and doesn't really need journal support so ext2 is a good choice | 14:58 |
| eddy_000 | jorhaze : says need an aciton option :S | 14:59 |
| jorhaze | you forgot the lowercase L | 15:00 |
| johnfg | Ok, just wondered. Had no problems with it, and on 3 debian machines, 2 squeeze are ext3 and a lenny ext3 for /boot. | 15:00 |
| johnfg | Since I installed gdm 'by mistake', is it gnome3? | 15:01 |
| johnfg | It's still going, so I can't tell yet. | 15:02 |
| auronandace | johnfg: what do you mean? | 15:02 |
| escott | johnfg, it has been ported to gtk3 but it is not "gnome3" | 15:02 |
| MonkeyDust | johnfg gnome3 uses lightdm | 15:02 |
| freko28 | Hi all, how can I add a PAT rule on ubuntu to forward the tcp port 6000 on the tcp port 8080? | 15:02 |
| johnfg | So, it's gnome 2? | 15:03 |
| escott | johnfg, saying a gdm is gnome3 is comparable to saying a ford truck is exxon gasoline | 15:03 |
| auronandace | johnfg: you need to explain what you mean | 15:03 |
| auronandace | johnfg: gdm is just a login manager, lightdm is default from 11.10 onwards | 15:03 |
| johnfg | So are you saying that the gnome desktop manager may not be the same version as the gnome desktop? | 15:04 |
| escott | johnfg, you can use kdm with gnome if you want | 15:04 |
| johnfg | auronandace, Ok, I think I see what you mean. | 15:04 |
| === q0rban is now known as q-rban | ||
| johnfg | So, now that I've got gdm almost installed, I suppose I have to install a desktop? Or will lightdm be already installed, by default? | 15:05 |
| auronandace | johnfg: what are you using? the minimal iso or default ubuntu? | 15:05 |
| escott | johnfg, by installing gdm you have probably disabled/removed lightdm | 15:06 |
| Ricaz | anyone have any experience using a wifi Epson printer on ubuntu? | 15:06 |
| johnfg | I installed from ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso | 15:07 |
| mneptok | Ricaz: does openprinting.org say that the device actually has Linux support? | 15:07 |
| johnfg | escott, Just a sec...did you mean how did I install server or how did I install gdm? | 15:07 |
| Ricaz | i.. don't know, mneptok. But I found some drivers on their website | 15:08 |
| mneptok | Ricaz: check openprinting first | 15:08 |
| realus | when in nexuiz, and want minimize to do something else ?? | 15:08 |
| MonkeyDust | johnfg i guess server is for more experienced users | 15:08 |
| auronandace | johnfg: the server iso doesn't come with a gui by default so by installing gdm you may have triggered the install of xorg and maybe gnome3 | 15:09 |
| johnfg | MonkeyDust, I'm experienced with debian and the redhat clones, but wanted to give ubuntu server a try. | 15:09 |
| escott | johnfg, auronandace is asking what disc you were using. some disks like minimal or server do not include the ubuntu-desktop package which installs a gui, some like the standard disc do | 15:09 |
| mneptok | johnfg: you have yet to explain why you're installing a display manager *at all* | 15:09 |
| escott | johnfg, i was saying that since you installed gdm, your lightdm installation (if it existed) would be disabled since you need only one DM | 15:10 |
| sub|work | bye | 15:10 |
| MonkeyDust | johnfg server is not supposed to be used with a GUI, it's only optional | 15:11 |
| Ricaz | mneptok: This is the printer: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-SX235_Series | 15:11 |
| johnfg | mneptok, Actually, you may not have seen that I did it by mistake. I was gonna copy & paste from the cli with gpm, but noted the mouse wasn't active. Then, by mistake, I did apt-get install gdm, instead of gpm. Get it? | 15:11 |
| === bladernr_ is now known as bladernr_afk | ||
| mneptok | johnfg: so purge the package once it's installed. | 15:12 |

| johnfg | I know I could have just copied or read into pastezone by sources.list | 15:12 |
| mneptok | Ricaz: so download the driver OpenPrinting recommends and install the package. | 15:12 |

| jbs | i just want gnome2 | 16:19 |
| jpds | MonkeyDust: Err, that's not true. | 16:20 |
| MonkeyDust | jbs gnome2 is no longer maintained or upgraded | 16:20 |
| zykotick9 | jbs: gnome2 is dead (development wise). xfce is popular alternative. | 16:20 |
| mneptok | jbs: not a long-term viable approach. GNOME2 is disappearing across distros. | 16:20 |
| jpds | MonkeyDust: Unity and GNOME 3 are two completely different projects. | 16:20 |
| jbs | ok i don't care about support. i just want gnome2 | 16:21 |
| jbs | how do i do that | 16:21 |
| cortman | Hi Nava_ open a terminal and type synclient | 16:21 |
| jpds | jbs: Install 10.04. | 16:21 |
| paulus68 | MonkeyDust: well I am familiar with that however I want to use a preseed file and the example sais that I have to use the server installation cd and as soon as the language prompt has come up you hit F6 and proceed from there | 16:21 |
| Nava_ | Ok. doing it now | 16:21 |
| jpds | jbs: But you'll have to move on at some point in the future, as noone maintains GNOME 2 code. | 16:21 |
| cortman | Nava_, does it return an error or give you a list of synclient commands? | 16:21 |
| mneptok | jbs: what do you do next year when not a single distro offers GNOME2? | 16:21 |
| jbs | i thought open source was supposed to be about choice? | 16:21 |
| zykotick9 | jbs: use 10.04 if you need gnome2 over all else | 16:22 |
| jpds | jbs: That has nothing to do with it. | 16:22 |
| mneptok | jbs: it is. start maintaining GNOME2. no one is stopping you. | 16:22 |
| green_nine | hello | 16:22 |
| mneptok | jbs: and there are more choices than something deprecated. try XFCE like zykotick9 suggested. | 16:23 |
| green_nine | anyone plays minecraft? | 16:23 |

| aggrav8d | hi, ubuntu. I'm getting a LOT of error emails about "unable to load mhash.so". I found some google docs about deleting /etc/php5/conf.d/mhash.ini. it didn't help. | 16:26 |
| zykotick9 | family: what device is this it9135 for? specifically, usb or some card? | 16:26 |
| aggrav8d | any ideas, please? | 16:26 |
| jpds | GirlyGirl: aspell is installed by default? | 16:26 |
| jbs | aggrav8d, they'll just tell you to use python or something here | 16:26 |
| cortman | Nava_, run sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 16:27 |
| family | zykotick9: TV Card | 16:27 |
| jpds | jbs: Hi, please be constructive. | 16:27 |
| aggrav8d | jbs - not really applicable. | 16:27 |
| jbs | i asked about gnome2 and just got nonsense | 16:27 |
| family | zykotick9: USB TV Card | 16:27 |
| GirlyGirl | jpds: Referring to definitions here | 16:27 |
| GirlyGirl | jpds: Not spellcheck support | 16:27 |
| aggrav8d | jbs - well did you sweet talk them first by saying thank you for all the great advice with the last problem you had? | 16:27 |
| Nava_ | ok | 16:27 |
| zykotick9 | family: USB :( i can't help - good luck. | 16:27 |
| oslinux23 | I have many many scanned pages that have black borders and I want to remove those. I found that unpaper can make that really easy | 16:27 |
| aggrav8d | a pinch of sugar helps the medicine go down. | 16:27 |
| family | zykotick9: USB TV Card | 16:27 |
| family | zykotick9: Thanks anyway.. | 16:28 |
| jbrks | family, probably it's an old driver source, you have anything more recent? | 16:28 |
| family | jpds: i think it worked. | 16:28 |
| jpds | family: Cool. | 16:29 |
| oslinux23 | but I am unable to do that | 16:29 |
| paulus68 | I want to load a preseed file before installing my server however I am not able to get into cli how do I achieve this? with an alternate install cd or is there another solution? | 16:29 |
| wylde | GirlyGirl: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/928161/ <-- for the output of apt-cache search english dictionary. | 16:29 |
| mneptok | aggrav8d: is PHP supposed to provide the mhash stuff you need? | 16:29 |
| zykotick9 | paulus68: are you doing some multi-install roll out or something? why use preseed? | 16:29 |
| oslinux23 | I get the same output with the input file | 16:29 |
| family | jpds: well now thats done. no error's do i need to install or did it do that as well | 16:29 |
| cortman | Nava_, if/when you post back, type cortm+TAB to address your post to me, otherwise I'll miss it. | 16:29 |
| aggrav8d | mneptok - i understand mhash has been integrated into the latest php so the external mhash is no longer needed. unfortunately something still refers to it somewhere in the code, so when I ran apt-upgrade it kinda broke and now I get 20 emails a minute about a cron() task I can't even find. | 16:30 |
| Nava_ | got it | 16:30 |
| jpds | family: Carry on with the instructions. | 16:30 |
| aggrav8d | "PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mhash.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mhash.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0" | 16:30 |
| mneptok | aggrav8d: see if installing the libmhash2 package helps. | 16:31 |
| mneptok | aggrav8d: PHP is calling a shared object that does not exist. | 16:31 |
| family | jpds: well the next bit says to check /var/log/messages for errors. | 16:32 |
| Nava_ | cortman: Processing was halted because there were too many errors. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg retured an error code(1) | 16:32 |
| family | jpds: that file does not exist. | 16:32 |
| cortman | Nava_, do you have an ubuntu forums account? | 16:32 |
| jbrks | family, where did you download the source code? | 16:32 |
| mneptok | aggrav8d: and seeing that PHP is looking within its own directory structure for it, it seems to be solely an issue with PHP. | 16:32 |
| oslinux23 | :-/ | 16:32 |
| family | jpds: came on the cd with device. | 16:32 |
| Nava_ | yea | 16:32 |
| Nava_ | cortman: yes i do | 16:33 |
| family | jbrks: came on cd with device | 16:33 |
| cortman | Nava_, start a thread and give me a link. Sounds like some other issues besides just touchpad. | 16:33 |
| renard- | Can't copy-paste between monitors in a dual-screen setup (single X) with 11.10/Unity, anybody knows why? | 16:33 |
| oslinux23 | Who can help me this unpaper or pnm crop ? | 16:33 |
| aggrav8d | mneptok - libmhash2 already installed at latest version | 16:34 |
| mneptok | cortman: referring people to the forums renders IRC moot, no? | 16:34 |
| zykotick9 | renard-: can you drag windows from one to the other? | 16:34 |
| renard- | zykotick9, yes | 16:34 |
| zykotick9 | renard-: weird. no idea. good luck. | 16:34 |
| mneptok | aggrav8d: i'd ask around PHP places instead of Ubuntu places. | 16:34 |
| aggrav8d | mneptok - i'll ask php and see what they say. | 16:34 |
| aggrav8d | thanks. | 16:34 |
| paulus68 | zykotick9: Well I want to experiment with it and that's why I want to find out if this is what I want, might also be usefull for desktop installs | 16:34 |
| cortman | mneptok, not at all. It appears this problem may be a little involved to just solve over IRC- I'll need command ouputs and othe rinfo. | 16:34 |
| Nava_ | cortman: yea, most likely. these things always seem to happen after upgrades | 16:34 |
| jbrks | family, it's old source code, i see other people mention it on forums.. try using the latest source code.. | 16:34 |
| mneptok | cortman: it does not mean others cannot help. | 16:35 |
| jpds | family: /var/log/dmesg | 16:35 |
| renard- | Tried some clipboard software such as Glippy, but Unity integration is broken | 16:35 |
| jbrks | family, btw, what's the device id from lspci or lsusb ? | 16:35 |
| nothingspecial | mneptok: Nope, we encourage forum users to try irc | 16:35 |
| paulus68 | zykotick9: might also be tempted to create a pxe server although I am not certain if this can be installed on my current server | 16:35 |
| realus | free vpn service providers ?? | 16:35 |
| cortman | mneptok, If you can solve it right now over IRC, you're more than welcome to! :) | 16:35 |
| zykotick9 | paulus68: :) i've need reading the preseed documentation (looks pretty cool actually). I'm going to play with it someday for sure (would make my installs REALLY fast to deploy). Best of luck. | 16:35 |
| family | jbrks: lsusb it's shown | 16:36 |
| paulus68 | zykotick9: thx do you have any Idea how to launch the 11.10 server cd into cli? | 16:36 |
| realus | Found one: https://www.vpnreactor.com/linux_openvpn.html | 16:36 |
| oCean | realus: this channel is for ubuntu technical support only | 16:37 |
| family | jpds: i stared again and the same error as in jpg was displayed | 16:37 |
| zykotick9 | paulus68: you could boot the iso from grub2 perhaps. you can't really "launch" the install. | 16:37 |
| jbrks | family, i'm guessing you mean 048d:9135 shows.. | 16:37 |
| zykotick9 | paulus68: the tasksel suggestions are as close to the installer as you | 16:37 |
| zykotick9 | 'll probably get | 16:37 |
| oslinux23 | @oCean is there anyone who can help me with this http://unpaper.berlios.de/#overview ? | 16:38 |
| family | jbrks:ID 048d:9005 Integrated Technology Express, Inc. | 16:38 |
| mneptok | cortman: i would, except there is no record of any original question. | 16:38 |
| paulus68 | zykotick9: fair enough but why do they suggest the unattended setup? or does the alternate cd containst the required images to install the server from | 16:38 |
| jbrks | oslinux23, ocr stuff.. good luck | 16:39 |
| oCean | oslinux23: I have no idea what your issue is. To be sure, describe it detailed in single line here in the channel | 16:39 |
| oslinux23 | I have a many pages that have black borders | 16:39 |
| oslinux23 | I want to crop those | 16:39 |
| zykotick9 | paulus68: you might try the mini install (it might have preseed in the advanced options) [warning! pure speculation] | 16:39 |
| family | jbrks:can you see newer drivers? | 16:39 |
| zykotick9 | !mini | paulus68 | 16:39 |
| ubottu | paulus68: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 16:39 |
| Aethelred | I upgraded to Lucid (10.04) yesterday. I'm having video problems. The desktop launches fine, but I'm getting very slow and quirky behaviour. Compiz and workspaces and animations etc. all worked fine before. Is there someone here who can help me find the problem if I describe symptoms? | 16:40 |
| cortman | mneptok, right. That's because I redirected Nava from the forums social channel, and said I'd help them out. | 16:40 |
| mneptok | cortman: you cannot get help with a question you never ask. | 16:40 |
| paulus68 | zykotick9: only for desktop installs thanks anyway | 16:40 |
| zykotick9 | Aethelred: 2 questions. 1) what did you upgrade from? 2) what video card? "lspci | grep -i vga" if not sure. | 16:41 |
| zykotick9 | paulus68: what's only for desktop installs? | 16:41 |
| jbrks | family, it says it's supported but from kernel 3.2 ( http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices/Full ) | 16:41 |
| jbrks | family, scratch that.. | 16:41 |
| zykotick9 | paulus68: mini isn't! it's got everything available in it's tasksel (server, ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, etc) | 16:41 |
| oslinux23 | @oCean should I always tag specific people here in order to communicate ? :P | 16:42 |
| Aethelred | zykotick9: (1) from Karmic (9.10) (2) Nvidia 8800GTS | 16:42 |
| family | jbrks: is it supported then? | 16:42 |
| jbrks | family, i dont see the deviceid mentioned on that page, but someone on a forum referred to that post with your device, and tried the latest kernel with it.. | 16:43 |
| cortman | mneptok, sigh. Do I have to say "I was wrong, you were right" for everyone to be happy again? :S | 16:43 |
| jbrks | family, try kernel of at least 3.2.xx | 16:43 |
| mneptok | cortman: no, but my PayPal address is .... ;) | 16:43 |
| Aethelred | zykotick9: I was running Nvidia's driver before. It seems to still be used. | 16:43 |
| cortman | mneptok, I promise I won't spam the channel with redirects to the forums. :) | 16:43 |
| zykotick9 | Aethelred: by nvidia's driver do you mean from nvidia.com? | 16:43 |
| oCean | oslinux23: no need, just state your question, here in the channel. Someone who can help, will likely reply :) | 16:43 |
| family | jbrks: umm that might be too advaned for me. | 16:44 |
| jbrks | family, this means you don't use need to use any other source code.. because the usbtv sourcecode should already be with the kernel3.2.xx | 16:44 |
| oslinux23 | @oCean | 16:44 |
| Aethelred | zykotick9: Yes. | 16:44 |
| oslinux23 | @oCean thanks | 16:44 |
| jbrks | family, it may already be in your repos.. did u try apt-upgrading, or using the latest ubuntu? | 16:44 |
| family | jbrks: easy to change kernal? | 16:44 |
| zykotick9 | Aethelred: too bad. I can't help then - good luck. | 16:44 |
| family | 11.10 | 16:45 |
| jbrks | family, kernels dont always replace, apt might add an option to the grub menu.. | 16:45 |
| aggrav8d | mneptok - how do i purge a package? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593266 suggests that purging the package will make the mhash error go away. | 16:45 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 593266 in php5 "php5 startup warning in cron output after removing (and not purging) package with php5 extension" [Normal,Fixed] | 16:45 |
| jbrks | family, oh.. so perhaps you may be on kernel3.0xx already.. | 16:45 |
| family | jbrks: ok, i will google it and come back if needed. | 16:45 |
| family | jbrks: thanks | 16:46 |
| Aethelred | zykotick9: Is there something wrong with that driver? ... or do you just not help with proprietary stuff? | 16:46 |
| jbrks | family, you'd need at least 3.2.xx | 16:46 |
| zykotick9 | aggrav8d: "sudo apt-get purge foo" | 16:46 |
| mado | hello everyone :) | 16:46 |
| Aethelred | zykotick9: Could you suggest an alternative? | 16:46 |
| oslinux23 | I have many pnm scanned pages and they have black borders. I want to crop those. It seems that unpaper can help me, but I havent figure out how to do that. Any suggestions ? | 16:46 |
| GirlyGirl | wylde: Nevermind, kthesaurus does what I need | 16:46 |
| wylde | GirlyGirl: alrighty. | 16:46 |
| zykotick9 | Aethelred: :) i was going to make an exception to my upgrade issues run for you (because it's lucid). AND i have used that exact same model nvidia 8800 since lucid in my machine! BUT, as soon as an nvidia.com driver has been installed on a system - i won't touch that system, i consider installing a 3rd party driver like that a "sin" sorry. | 16:48 |
| mado | I don't know if this sounds strange, weird in your ears but i was wondering ... ... ... Can you tell me, show me, help me find one, suggest one, etc ... a new desktop pc ... for playing games (some on ms windows ... some i will try on ubuntu) , office-work, internet and such stuff? | 16:48 |
| Aethelred | zykotick9: Well I won't condemn a person for their religious beliefs. Perhaps you know of someone else who might offer assistance? | 16:49 |
| MonkeyDust | mado better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:49 |
| johnfg | hi again folks | 16:49 |
| mado | thank you MonkeyDust :) | 16:49 |
| johnfg | Had to get to the office. So, I'm at a root prompt in the server, and gdm is installed, but no session. | 16:49 |
| zykotick9 | Aethelred: wait a little while, then restate your issue with as much details as possible to the channel. good luck man. | 16:50 |
| johnfg | If I want a gui desktop, what's a good one to install? | 16:50 |
| Nava_ | cortman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11841381#post11841381 | 16:50 |
| mado | i'd say it depends on what you'd like johnfg | 16:50 |
| MonkeyDust | johnfg a lot of people have just entered while you were away, repeat your question from the beginning, what you did and tried etc | 16:51 |
| johnfg | mado, Since I can't see what's available, and I'm used to gnome2 & 3, xfce, what's recommended? | 16:51 |
| === Guest12807 is now known as Cain | ||

| === Cain is now known as crlcan81 | ||
| mado | hmmm ... under ubuntu ... many are available as far as i know (last time i was playing around a bit with LXDE :) ) | 16:51 |
| johnfg | MonkeyDust, ok, I mistakenly installed gdm in a fresh install of server 11.10. I had meant to install mouse support, i.e., gpm. | 16:52 |
| Aethelred | zykotick9: Thank you. | 16:52 |
| mado | in a few days i will take a look on gnome3 | 16:52 |
| johnfg | mado, Can you tell me the pkg name for lxde? | 16:52 |
| wylde | !info lxde | 16:53 |

| johnfg | Yeah, just lxde didn't work. | 16:53 |
| mado | maybe it's lubuntu-desktop? *thinking* | 16:53 |

| === geek is now known as Peter__1 | ||
| mado | zykotick9, thank you :) ... didn't know that for sure ... you see ... i'm just a beginner with computers and all that :) | 16:55 |
| johnfg | And now, when I boot in recovery mode, the net's not configured, so I can't install it. | 16:56 |
| zykotick9 | mado: don't use sudo unless you need to. BUT, apt-cache is tricky ;) many advanced users use sudo for it. | 16:57 |
| wylde | mado: it's best to try first if not sure without sudo. Using sudo when not needed can cause issues with your system, eg. typos with root permissions can have nasty side effects. :) | 16:57 |
| johnfg | mado, But you were thinking that the name of the pkg was lubuntu-desktop? | 16:57 |
| irchelp | hi | 16:58 |
| mado | yes i thought so johnfg | 16:58 |
| zykotick9 | johnfg: the lubuntu-desktop package will contain more packages then the xfce package (will lead to duplications of some apps, which you may or maynot want?) | 16:58 |
| mado | wylde, and zykotick9 ... thank you for that info :) | 16:58 |
| johnfg | zykotick9, You know what the package is for xfce? | 17:01 |
| zykotick9 | johnfg: xfce4 probably | 17:01 |

| johnfg | I assume if lightdm isn't installed that the xfce4 will grab it? | 17:02 |
| zykotick9 | johnfg: probably not. manually install lightdm will probably be required. | 17:03 |

| family | jbrks:do you know of any software to test tv card in linux? | 17:05 |
| Aethelred | zykotick9: I'm (slowly) delving in to this and it seems my driver is part of the Ubuntu repos. It's in Synaptic, with the little ubuntu symbol and everything: nvidia-current 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04.2 | 17:06 |
| Aethelred | zykotick9: Can we go on a date now? :) | 17:06 |
| zykotick9 | Aethelred: nope sorry. the issue i have is there is no way to be sure the nvidia.com driver didn't change something on the system - and the system is unable to remove said changes. so, as soon as that nvidia.com driver gets install, i consider it a compromised/unstable system. sorry man. but best of luck! try reinstall the driver from "additional drivers" or whatever and reboot. | 17:08 |
| aggrav8d | zykotick9 - thanks for the purge tip. worked great! sudo dpkg -P php5-mhash fixed the 2500 error emails I got in the last 10 minutes. | 17:08 |

| zykotick9 | veinos: by choosing to run 12.04 now, you "choose" not to get support here :| downside of beta ;) | 17:11 |
| veinos | hehe fair enough | 17:11 |
| family | anyone know of any software to test tv card in linux? | 17:11 |
| veinos | but then, it isn't possible in 11.x right? | 17:11 |
| veinos | family, I've seen some nvidia apps in the software center for the tv tuner, if that's the brand u use | 17:12 |
| jbrks | can someone test the wan side of my network? | 17:14 |

| zykotick9 | veinos: (you need to check what dependencies this will install! if it's all of mythtv then i'd suggest NOT doing it!) you could try installing mythbuntu-control-centre for a GUI tool to setting up TV cards. | 17:16 |
| zykotick9 | family: ^^ | 17:16 |
| wad | I need to run a command when I shutdown my machine. Is there a way to set up a shellscript that will be run when I press the power button? I've got my laptop configured so that pressing the power button shuts down. | 17:16 |
| wad | (I've got a headless VirtualBox linux image that sometimes runs, and I'd like it to cleanly exit when I tell my laptop to power down.) | 17:17 |
| zykotick9 | wad: MAN i wish VBox had better integration for that! | 17:17 |
| wad | zykotick9, yeah. I've got a little script that I run, "vmoff", that just ssh's in and does "sudo init 0". I figure I can just run that, sleep for a few seconds, and it will be good. | 17:18 |
| xsl | hello all | 17:18 |
| _255 | I am trying to fix my computer to boot from cd in order to install Ubuntu, could someone help me to figure out how to make it work please? | 17:18 |
| xsl | is it ok to install basket in unity ? | 17:19 |
| veinos | _255, you either have to hit some key at bootup (F8 on my asus motherboard) to select the booting device | 17:19 |
| veinos | or to enter bios and set your primary booting device in there | 17:20 |

| compdoc | you can copy it to a usb flash drive. would that work? | 17:25 |
| Flying | compdoc, what do you mean? | 17:25 |
| compdoc | put the installer on a usb stick | 17:26 |

| === AcidRain is now known as AcidRain2012 | ||
| Flying | Kanerix, no there isn't. The computer I have is an HP Pavilion 304w, it's really old. | 17:29 |
| Kanerix | I don't memorize computer models and their BIOS setups, believe it or not | 17:29 |
| Flying | Kanerix, I am also unable to download an update because I can't get into any OS | 17:29 |
| compdoc | sometimes, there are bios updates that add features | 17:29 |
| johnfg | I'm bugged. I installed lightdm and xfce4 with no errors. However, even thought I'm seeing the lightdm at login, and with me as a user, after entering my password I still get the error, Failed to load session ubuntu :-( | 17:29 |
| johnfg | What am I missing? | 17:30 |
| Kanerix | Flying, often times there's an option that says something along the lines of "Allow booting of other devices" | 17:30 |
| Flying | Kanerix, I don' expect for you to memorize it in the least bit. I was just giving you information in case it would help. | 17:30 |
| Kanerix | then you can disable your hard drives and let it try to boot | 17:30 |
| Kanerix | In the end, there's no way to compensate for a BIOS that can't boot the device that you're trying to | 17:31 |
| lmsens | yo | 17:31 |
| despe70 | I'm using rsyslog to log my messages. I've just added a rule to catch those of postgresql to be logged to a separate file. Works fine, but all messages are logged twice now, once in the file and once in the /var/log/messages ... how can I prevent that? | 17:31 |
| lmsens | why does ubuntu loses touchad | 17:31 |
| lmsens | psmouse serio1: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away. | 17:31 |
| Flying | what I did was enter the bios and the boot order to all USB, and it didn't detect it. then I tried the same with CD-ROM which didn't work, so I'm like damnnit | 17:31 |
| lmsens | I want my bytes back | 17:32 |
| andre_pl | I'm trying to install 12.04 beta 2. I've done 2 clean installs, and both times I end with a login screen that wraps horribly across my 2 monitors, and then just hangs there with nothing but a wallpaper after I try to log in | 17:32 |
| StepNjump | my mouse is connected on a USB router, since a few days, I keep having to unplug it and then replug it in a different port in order to revive my mouse. Any idea why this happens? | 17:32 |
| andre_pl | the live environment is awesome, works perfectly, but as soon as I do first boot its just screwed | 17:32 |
| Kanerix | Flying, that's not what I'm saying | 17:32 |
| === Sovereign is now known as Guest59506 | ||
| StepNjump | even an application no longer runs. This is very weird... | 17:33 |
| Flying | I understand, but is there a way to make a live usb with FDD capabilities, or are they all ZIP/HDD? | 17:33 |
| johnfg | Any ideas on the failed to load session "ubuntu"? | 17:33 |
| === wesley is now known as Wesley | ||
| Flying | or is there a way to update bios without an OS? (like downloading them to a removable media?) | 17:35 |
| johnfg | googling the error isn't producing anything very helpful. | 17:35 |
| Flying | Kanerix, because here's the thing, it will load past grub, to the ubuntu OS loading screen, then it just goes blank | 17:36 |
| compdoc | Flying, that could be a siple setting | 17:36 |
| Kanerix | Well that's not a bios problem dude | 17:36 |
| compdoc | simple | 17:36 |
| david-goodger | I'm unable to build a program (http://burrtools.sf.net). It needs OpenGL, I have Mesa installed, but ./compile tells me "checking for OpenGL... yes | 17:37 |
| david-goodger | configure: error: no openGL found, openGL is needed for burrtools" | 17:37 |
| david-goodger | Any pointers? | 17:37 |
| david-goodger | sorry, ./configure, not ./compile | 17:37 |
| Flying | compdoc, meaning? How could I go about fixing it, hpefully?? | 17:37 |
| Kanerix | Flying, try adding "nomodeset" to the kernel options for ubuntu | 17:37 |
| Kanerix | it's probably that the kernel is setting a video mode that your video card doesn't like | 17:37 |
| Flying | Kanerix, how do I do that? Do I need to run the command | 17:37 |
| Kanerix | which has absolutely nothing to do with the bios | 17:37 |
| Kanerix | erm | 17:38 |
| Flying | I know, I was trying to do a clean install through USB, which was why I was tryna mess with the bios | 17:38 |
| Fyodorovna | !nomodeset > Flying | 17:38 |
| ubottu | Flying, please see my private message | 17:38 |
| Kanerix | I don't remember Ubuntu's bootloader implementation >_> | 17:38 |
| compdoc | google nomodeset | 17:38 |
| Kanerix | Fyodorovna, thanks | 17:38 |
| Fyodorovna | kandinski, no problem. | 17:39 |
| Flying | thanks Fyodorovna | 17:39 |
| andre_pl | Flying: did you set it to login automatically? sorry for jumping in but our problems could be similar i get nothing after logging in. but not a blank screen, just a hanging wallpaper | 17:39 |
| Kanerix | david-goodger, that's funky | 17:39 |
| Flying | andre_pl, no I don't after the ubuntu screen it just goes black and leaves it there | 17:40 |
| Kanerix | Flying, yeah that's the symptom that nomodeset should fix | 17:40 |
| compdoc | Flying, yeah, common problem | 17:40 |
| andre_pl | !nomodeset | 17:40 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:40 |
| compdoc | its a parameter? I didnt think it was that serious | 17:41 |
| Flying | I'll check that out, thankfully I've got a couple of PC's so I can make it work | 17:41 |
| Kanerix | yeah you just add it to the kernel options line | 17:41 |
| Flying | I dont even know what a parameter is | 17:41 |
| Kanerix | simple really | 17:41 |
| MrWGW | hey there, I'm still running 10.10 and want to keep running it due to the horror of later releases | 17:41 |

| compdoc | MrWGW, yes | 17:42 |
| jbrks | anybody knows what i can do to prevent my network card from going to sleep? (but the rest of the machine can) | 17:42 |

| Kanerix | Guest59506, mount /dev/sdc1 to /media/sdc1 | 17:44 |
| kreative | I am running a mac server (10.0.0.11) lets say on local.domain.com and the server resolves the the mac wiki and what not from public requests for local.domain.com. I am also running a ubuntu bridged (apologies i wrote nat previously) virtualized server (10.0.0.43) and would like it to resolve to server.local.domain.com. | 17:44 |
| Flying | the only thing is, the ubuntu version I have is 8.04, think it'd be a problem | 17:44 |
| Guest59506 | Kanerix, do I cd mount /dev/sdc1 | 17:45 |
| === max is now known as Guest14434 | ||
| Kanerix | Guest59506, mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1 | 17:46 |
| jbrks | kreative, make it simpler.. make a zone 'localdomain' and go down one child namespace.. like a.localdomain (or if u prefer domain.com that's fine, but don't go so far as server.local.domain.dom, it's too far -- server.domain.com would be easier) | 17:46 |
| Flying | can someone direct me to a how-to on how to set nomodeset on an outdate version of ubuntu (8.04)? | 17:50 |
| Kanerix | Flying, did you try the things that the forum post mentioned? | 17:50 |
| jbrks | Flying, you mean kernelmodesetting (kms).. kms is pretty new, it wouldnt be on 8.04 | 17:50 |
| Kanerix | regardless of version, it's still valid | 17:50 |
| Kanerix | jbrks, really? I thought it had been around for a while | 17:51 |

| Kanerix | Flying, please stop misspelling my name. It's quite annoying | 17:51 |
| trism | david-goodger: check out config.log and search for "no openGL found", if you scroll up a little bit you will see the error, for me it was "cannot find -lXmu", so I needed libxmu-dev as well (so, their configure script is kind of broken) | 17:51 |

| jbrks | Kanerix, you don't want that. Older ubuntu's have security issues, I see no point looking back.. | 17:53 |

| Flying | I'm not very well versed with Linux, and a lot of the jargon used by the techies honestly just confuses me. It looks like chinese to me | 17:54 |
| jbrks | Kanerix, also older X didnt do autoconfiguration as good now. For eg: in the past you needed an xorg.conf file, now X doesnt need one at all and dynamically can detect hardware much better. | 17:55 |

| Flying | ok, jbrks I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed on my computer. Since I can't do nomodeset on it for the reason you stated above and I'd like to upgrade anyway (but can't because I am unable to boot from USB/CD and I get a black screen after the Ubuntu load screen). Is there any way that I can do this either in recovery mode, or through the command line "press C for command" (as I get this option in my grub menu)? If so, can you please give me | 18:03 |
| Flying | really, all I want is someone to help me... and I get many suggestions that just confuse me a lot more and never really solve anything :/ | 18:04 |
| GirlyGirl | Kanerix: Suse was out for a longtime. But OpenSuse is a recent thing | 18:04 |
| compdoc | 8.04 is quite old and does not support newer hardware as well. dump it | 18:04 |
| Kanerix | GirlyGirl, yeah, it's habit to type opensuse. I started on SuSE 7.3, technically | 18:04 |
| jbrks | Flying, people here don't even know what you're asking. Maybe the video hardware is kaput.. did you try hardware tests/memory tests? | 18:05 |
| Kanerix | compdoc, he's trying to. He can't boot a live disk of any sort, and the hard drive only has 8.04 on it | 18:05 |

| jbrks | Flying, I won't help anybody with a ubuntu that old.. upgrade | 18:05 |
| trism | david-goodger: excellent, you're welcome | 18:06 |
| Kanerix | Flying, the problem is that you have to edit the GRUB boot parameters to tell it to boot a live disk instead of what's installed on the hard drive | 18:06 |

| fellayaboy | mneptok what should i configure on sshd.confg | 18:18 |
| mneptok | fellayaboy: you should open the file as the root user in a text editor, and look through it and learn the settings. you'll see everything you want to know about keys and passphrases. | 18:19 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: is there to your knowledge a way to start the 11.10 server cd with commandline (this should allow me to tell the installer to use the preseed file that I created | 18:20 |

| paulus68 | ikonia: meaning when the cd is in the cdrom drive booting up and tell the installer through the cli where the preseed file is located | 18:23 |
| ikonia | paulus68: it's more than that, as it's a squashed file system that decompresses and runs things from certain locations | 18:23 |
| === nate__ is now known as yorba-nate | ||
| paulus68 | ikonia: I used an example from this book prentice hall: the official Ubuntu server book 2010 2nd edition where it states that when the installation cd is booting up and gets to the screen where you can select the language you have to hit F6 in order to alter the standard preseed location | 18:27 |
| === hacker is now known as Guest17536 | ||
| ikonia | paulus68: yes, and the key thing is "booting" so it's already decompressed, rather than running it as an executable as you want to do | 18:28 |

| ikonia | paulus68: what option ? | 18:41 |
| === Goku[OFF] is now known as Goku | ||
| ikonia | paulus68: bottom line is, you can't "boot" something from a running OS | 18:41 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: to hit F6 hit escape and alter the location of the preseed file | 18:42 |
| ikonia | it won't work | 18:42 |
| ikonia | paulus68: that is from a non-booted system | 18:42 |
| ikonia | paulus68: you cannot "run" the cd from within a booted system | 18:42 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: correct but on that line you can inform the installer that the preseed file is located on http://someplace/preseed.cfg and hit enter the setup is going to continue using the preseed file if it's correctly build up | 18:44 |
| dougl | I had to reinstall windows on my dual boot ubuntu box and now my grub is gone - is there a way to recover grub? | 18:44 |

| dougl | ssta, thanks | 18:46 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: check the image on page 87 from the pdf that I sent you in pm and I am sorry to inform you I was able to do exactly this using the alternate installation cd now only searching for a way to achieve this with the installation cd for ubuntu server | 18:47 |
| ikonia | paulus68: great, then why are you asking for help if you know you can do it and know it works ? | 18:48 |
| ikonia | in honesty, I don't see the point of what you are doing, if you are booting a CD to point at a CD image, why not just install from the CD rather than an image on a disk | 18:49 |
| ikonia | you've already got the working image if you are infact booting it | 18:49 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: because I miss this particular option when I launch the server installation cd it goes directly to install the system and I don't have to my knowledge a way to alter the path of the preseed file location | 18:49 |
| ikonia | it seems like a flawd problem with a pointless fix | 18:49 |
| ikonia | paulus68: right, so the server install doesn't allow it | 18:49 |
| ikonia | paulus68: so there is your answer, that option is not there | 18:49 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: the point is that I want to launch a unattended setup | 18:49 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: and I am also looking into a pxe server | 18:50 |
| ikonia | paulus68: launching a unattended setup is is different than pointing at an image of a cd | 18:50 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: in order to achieve just that | 18:50 |
| MonkeyDust | sounds like a OEM setup to me | 18:50 |
| mraxilus | my notifyosd notifications are not working lately can anyone help? | 18:50 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: agreed that it's different and with the alternate cd it's working for the desktop envirement however would have liked to achieve this for the server aswell | 18:51 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: I will experiment a little bit more with the preseed file for desktop thanks for your help and if you like the pdf just copy it :) | 18:53 |

| savage | installed 10.04 just fine, on a partition. dual boot with windows 7, had it set up with windows loader first the grub2. after playing with some android dev tool, it changed my grub version i think, it looks different anyway. upon reboot i get the new or different grub then if i choose i get windows loader then i have the choice to go back to grub again. regardless of either grub i use to enter linux it wont boot, if i choose to boot | 20:03 |

| roasted | Question - is there any way to create a custom entry on the LightDM login screen? It's a long story but I basically want the ability to select an option (perhaps another user, I don't know) that will run a terminal command, and then reset the login screen as if it was a fresh boot. Any idea? | 20:05 |
| ubuntu | hello | 20:07 |
| Crell | Hi folks. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and trying to mount an sshfs remote using this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/mounting-remote-directories-with-sshfs-on-ubuntu-11.10 | 20:07 |
| li0s | is there any tutorial on how to install themes in ubuntu unity 11.10 ? | 20:07 |
| Crell | It seems to work fine, but only for root. | 20:07 |
| Crell | Is there no way to mount an sshfs remote and make it accessible to normal users? I have the directory I'm mounting to owned by the user I want, but it's still not picking up. | 20:08 |
| === bill is now known as Guest20933 | ||
| ssta | Crell: how exactly are you mounting it? | 20:08 |
| zykotick9 | roasted: [just an idea] but solaris used to have a shutdown user, who's interpreter just pointed to the shutdown command. perhaps you couse create a script with the command you need followed by a restart of you DM? then create a user with that script as it's interpreter? i'm sure there's a better way ;) good luck though. | 20:08 |
| TheFuzz4 | Crell, let me see if I can find the answer to that | 20:08 |
| TheFuzz4 | I've fixed that before | 20:09 |
| Crell | ssta: With sshfs, per section 3 on that tutorial. | 20:09 |
| roasted | zykotick9: ehh, I need this to be at the login screen, not shut down... we're running 11.04 on some laptops here (moving to 12.04 very soon), but sometimes the generic profiles we have on them get corrupt and won't log in. We go to log in and they just loop back to login, over, and over, and over. | 20:09 |
| _255 | Any idas folks? | 20:09 |
| roasted | zykotick9: I set up a simple script on a flash drive I run under the local administrator account, which rm -rf's the home directory, recopies it from /etc/skel, and chown + chmod's it properly and it works great. | 20:10 |
| Crell | Oh now this is interesting... | 20:10 |
| _255 | s/idas/ideas | 20:10 |
| ssta | Crell: the tutorial seems massively xomplex. It's as simple as: sshfs user@host:/path mountpoint/ | 20:10 |
| zykotick9 | roasted: that's what i'm suggesting. when you log in as that user, it's going to run your script... | 20:10 |
| savage | IVE LOST ROOT DIRECTORY, can anyone point to a fix | 20:10 |
| roasted | zykotick9: I want to take that script, except add it as a login option via radio button... so if the teacher is having issues with a particular student, he/she can click, it runs, log in, bam done | 20:10 |
| Crell | TheFuzz4, ssta: If I run sshfs as my own user without sudo, it succeeds and mounts the directory but then root cannot access it. JUST my user. | 20:10 |
| Crell | That's bizarre. | 20:10 |
| ssta | Crell: you do NOT use sshfs as root (usually)...unless you have a good reason to | 20:10 |
| roasted | zykotick9: you're proposing run it EVERY time they boot up? | 20:10 |
| ssta | Crell: yes...that's how it should be. Why would root want to access it? | 20:11 |
| Crell | Doesn't root get access to everything by definition? | 20:11 |
| ssta | Crell: only locally. Not remotely | 20:11 |
| noname120 | [Hi ! I've network issues with my broadcom 43xx wifi card : I've xubuntu and I installed the driver, the network manager of xubuntu don't show the wireless connections . I tried to install wicd but this can't find any network neither . But with backtrack, a bunch of wireless network are found and I can connect on them | 20:11 |
| Crell | Ah. | 20:11 |
| zykotick9 | roasted: no, only when you want/need to. it won't be the default user in anyway - but there could be a choice for "RESET SYSTEM" as a user that would run whatever you need it to - then restart to DM, so the real user could then log in. | 20:11 |
| ssta | Crell: otherwise the fact that I'm root on THIS system would give me ownership of everyone's systems | 20:12 |
| Crell | Hm. OK, fair point. | 20:12 |
| roasted | zykotick9: hm, do you have any sort of link that might build on this a bit more? This is sounding like an attractive idea. | 20:12 |
| roasted | zykotick9: is there a proper name for this that I could Google? | 20:12 |
| noname120 | Can anyone help me please ? | 20:12 |
| ssta | Crell: in general, just mount the sshfs again if more than one user needs it (it's the simplest way) | 20:13 |
| zykotick9 | roasted: sorry - no idea! i haven't tested this - but don't see why it wouldn't work ;) good luck man. PS. there might be a better way? | 20:13 |
| * Crell nods. | 20:13 | |
| Crell | OK. Now to figure out why some mounts are working and others not. :-) | 20:13 |
| jola | hi. after a BSOD I can't boot windows anymore. grub says "error: no such device: B248C33048C2F261. error: no such disk". the BSOD said: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL [...] NDIS.SYS [...], and when it occured I hadn't been starting any programs for quite a while, I was just writing an email in firefox when it suddenly happened. I'm dual booting windows xp and xubuntu. I'm on xubuntu now, the windows partition doesn't appear in Thunar (t | 20:13 |
| jola | he file manager) either. but "fdisk -l" shows the partition (also marked as bootable). I want to use xubuntu to check for what's causing the issue but I don't know what it could be or what to test for and how. some driver screwed with the partition | 20:13 |

| noname120 | guys : I don't understand these documentations: why does it work flawlessly in backtrack-linux or even windows with a single action but in ubuntu, we need 200 command to try to make it work and it's not sure. Is there no way to fix it without 200 lines of command line etc ? | 20:24 |
| ssta | jola: hmm, looks like a dead filesystem. Sorry | 20:24 |
| thundx | jola: looks like your disk is bad | 20:25 |
| jola | :((( | 20:25 |
| roasted | zykotick9: oh okay... so I assume I just need to create a script, tag it to startup applications for "RESET SYSTEM", and that's it, eh? I guess I just need to tag at the end of the script "when complete, log out" etc? | 20:26 |
| jola | ssta, thundx: but it's not physical, right? | 20:26 |
| thundx | noname120: when you can explain why Linux has decades of Laptop support but no docking station support at all, then I'll tell you the mystery of why 802.11 is junk under Linux. | 20:27 |
| zykotick9 | roasted: if you wanted to get fancy, your script could restart Xorg / DM. | 20:27 |
| thundx | Yes, your physical disk probably has bad sectors. | 20:27 |
| ssta | jola: probably not, but it's impossible to tell | 20:27 |
| thundx | depending on the manufacturer, there might be a usable boot disk which can diagnose bad sectors | 20:27 |
| roasted | zykotick9: that may be best... for waht it's worth, if I add the script to startup applications that's just for THAT user, right? | 20:27 |
| jola | ssta, how could I check? | 20:27 |
| thundx | If you can find them, you may be able to skip them when you create new partitions. | 20:28 |
| noname120 | "tell you the mystery of why 802.11 is junk under Linux." <-- I wanna fix it: why is ubuntu so crappy foe that ? | 20:28 |

| zykotick9 | roasted: RIGHT! only for that user. (i think it would be ideal if you enter the password and there is no interaction, until the DM returns) | 20:28 |
| jola | fml | 20:28 |
| thundx | It's not just Ubuntu. Linux, in general, has terribad WiFi support. | 20:29 |
| ssta | jola: you can't without destroying the data. THe only hope you have is rescue from a windows CD...but you might be completely hosed. Sorry | 20:29 |
| roasted | thundx: I've never really had much of an issue with wifi, except for broadcom chips, and even they have been better in the last year. | 20:29 |
| jola | the data of years of work are on that partition | 20:29 |

| _255 | please! | 20:29 |
| ZeloZelos | 256 ? | 20:29 |
| noname120 | jola : some experts can retrieve your data but it'll cost you avout 100$ | 20:29 |
| thundx | that's because BT is a tool set designed specifically to work with mobile pen testing. | 20:29 |
| bernku | ubuntu and linux in gereanl, work greate with wifi | 20:30 |
| roasted | thundx: to the contrary, there's been times windows has magically dropped my wifi and never reconnected unless I remove the ssid and re-add it, whereas ubuntu works flawless. Gotta love technology... | 20:30 |
| ZeloZelos | 255 | 20:30 |

| ZeloZelos | _255: what is your question | 20:30 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, When I try to boot I got stuck on this screen : http://imagebin.org/207933 | 20:30 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, I am trying to install ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386 | 20:31 |
| thundx | General question: does Ubuntu have the same broken NetworkManager that Debian has? e.g. wireless interfaces are unmanaged | 20:31 |
| _255 | Have you ever seen such a thing? | 20:32 |
| ZeloZelos | _255: i have no idea what that ss is of, to follow, you inserted disk, booted from disk, ran live/ or not ran the installer? | 20:32 |
| noname120 | _255 : describe the steps and where it bug | 20:32 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, I am booting from a toasted cd. | 20:32 |
| ZeloZelos | _255: toasted? | 20:32 |
| sno | Hi, sendmail by default will try to deliver an email for up to five days, does anyone know how often it retries to send an email? I can't seem to find that information? | 20:33 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, well, I used to have XP running but got borrowed about blue screen, then I installed this new Ubuntu 12 version which is completly full of bugs. I suspected this machine may be with some hardware issues. | 20:33 |
| thundx | noname120: does your /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf have [ifupdown] managed=false? | 20:34 |
| grendal-prime | hey anyone have any luck with netmrg ? | 20:34 |
| _255 | Then I removed some drives and try to keep as few hardware as possible to start a investigation. | 20:34 |
| thundx | e.g. NetworkManager is not managing the wifi interface.... | 20:34 |
| ssta | _255: 12.04 isn't released yet, it's still in beta... | 20:34 |
| Bersam | Hello everybody! i made a script (download list) with synaptic in ubuntu 10.04 ... can i use that for ubuntu 11.10? or apps in 11.10 is newer than lucid? | 20:34 |
| ZeloZelos | _255: that ss sort of reminds me of a system error, like the processor isnt functioning right or somehting, aaa, the big blue..ok...it probably is something to do with hardware, what machine, how old? | 20:35 |
| _255 | ssta, yes, but when you go to www.ubuntu.com the first option is to download a beta version, quite hard to figure where is the old version. | 20:35 |
| jola | ssta, noname120: and if recovery fails, can I at least format the partition if it can't be mounted, and then reinstall windows? | 20:35 |
| thundx | 12.04 beta2 isn't too bad. | 20:35 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, not sure I know its a ADM processor and should be quite old already. | 20:35 |
| ssta | _255: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 20:35 |
| thundx | jola: you familiar with dd ? | 20:36 |
| _255 | ssta, yes, I already figured. | 20:36 |
| noname120 | jola : better you try a file recovering tool before | 20:36 |
| jola | thundx, I only know that it does raw copy | 20:36 |
| _255 | But I thing Ubuntu guys should avoid putting a beta version in such a hightlight | 20:36 |
| ssta | jola: depends. If the drive has hardware errors, might be better to get your data off it and replace it (I make a policy to bin a drive that doesn't feel reliable as soon as spossible...compared to losing data, drives are cheap) | 20:36 |
| thundx | if you have the free space, I'd try to dd the contents of the bad partition to a file. That way, if it happens to be that just the fstype sig is bad, you can edit it and mount it via loopback | 20:37 |
| thundx | if the dd won't complete, then you know for sure the drive is bad | 20:37 |
| ZeloZelos | _255: im almost positive thats saying that either there is bad memory, bad processor/controller or something else with the board. you will need to know the make/model to determine...that appears even if you dont have a disk in the drive right? | 20:37 |
| jola | thundx, but how can I copy from it if I can't mount it? | 20:37 |

| eddy_000 | the file hasnt been edited by me and its a clean instal :S | 20:40 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, I am all day long testing it. | 20:40 |
| Bndrr | for edit u can for example gedit /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf | 20:40 |
| thundx | then it should run for > 10 minutes. | 20:40 |
| ssta | jola: typical drives read at (about) 50-100MB/second. (say 80 to make the math easy). 80GB is 1000 times that, so 1000 seconds (about 20 minutes) | 20:40 |
| thundx | I don't remember the CTRL- key sequence to make it spit out progress | 20:40 |
| jola | thundx, is it 512 MB? or byte? | 20:40 |
| thundx | 512 in the command line is 512k | 20:41 |
| Bndrr | copy the context,go to pastebin, and let me see .maybe i can help. | 20:41 |
| jola | thundx, but why does that depend on the partition size? | 20:41 |
| jola | it can read from the start | 20:41 |
| thundx | why does what depend? | 20:41 |
| ssta | thundx: umm, no it's not. it's bytes | 20:41 |
| jola | thundx, how long it takes | 20:41 |
| jola | reading 512 bytes shouldn't take 10 secs | 20:41 |
| ZeloZelos | _255: ah, ok, then it could be the disk drive idk, that ss is very strange. none of those codes are showing in google for me, cept error 3, but thats a huge hit | 20:41 |
| thundx | duh, yeah, I fat fingered that...was thinking ahead about the 4k block size drives | 20:42 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, what I did mess a lot is this machine bios | 20:42 |
| eddy_000 | Bndrr : it opened up the file but its not letting me touch it, says its read only and the save option is coloured out also :S | 20:42 |
| ssta | jola: no, you're reading it 512 bytes at a time. It weill read the whole partition | 20:42 |
| thundx | its not reading 512 bytes, its reading chunks of 512 bytes until EOF or you stop it | 20:42 |
| ZeloZelos | _255: what did you mess with, can you get it back to default? | 20:42 |
| jola | ssta, ah! | 20:42 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, maybe it's something I did at bios. | 20:42 |
| ZeloZelos | very possible | 20:42 |
| Bndrr | eddy_000, try with sudo su and then the gedit command. | 20:42 |
| Bndrr | or nano /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf | 20:42 |
| thundx | if you want to only read a certain number, add "count=X" to the end, where count is the number of 512 byte blocks to read | 20:43 |
| jola | thundx, ssta, so how long should I wait until I know if it hangs? (the partition is 80GB) | 20:43 |
| Bndrr | but with superpowers. :) | 20:43 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, well yes, I did set it to default already, but this machine has 2 hdds and 2 cd-rom drives. | 20:43 |
| thundx | to be sure, wait till tomorrow :) | 20:43 |
| thundx | otherwise | 20:43 |
| ZeloZelos | _255: what bios is it? | 20:43 |
| bekks | Bndrr: sudo su is useless use of su. sudo -i does the same, as well as gksu/kdesudo gedit in that case. | 20:43 |
| ssta | jola: I'd say if it's not done in 3-4 hours, there's probably a problem | 20:43 |
| thundx | you can stop it after a few minutes. if CTRL-C doesn't kill it, or the "blocks copied" in the output doesn't look kosher then the drive is toast | 20:43 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, I did remove one of each but I don't know if the jumpers are all set. | 20:44 |
| jola | thundx, why pipe it to /dev/null though. wouldn't it be better to save it in a file? | 20:44 |
| Bndrr | thx | 20:44 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, it's a AwardBios | 20:44 |
| thundx | do some math on the number of blocks copied and see if, based onthe interface type, the numbers look right | 20:44 |
| ssta | jola: I think a file is better...especially if the drive is dying. | 20:44 |
| jola | thundx, what amount of "blocks copied" could be considered kosher after x minutes? | 20:44 |
| jola | ssta, but my linux partition is smaller than 80 gb | 20:45 |
| Guest66992 | ciao | 20:45 |
| thundx | because /dev/null is faster. we just want to test read - and writing it to a file might trip on another bad block | 20:45 |
| ssta | jola: oh, then you're in trouble... | 20:45 |
| Guest66992 | !lista | 20:45 |
| ubottu | Guest66992: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 20:45 |
| jola | ssta, I'll try to make space on my external drive. will that work? | 20:45 |
| ZeloZelos | _255: did you check them, because thats making sense, if both hd's or disks are not on the right cable, or have the jumpers mixed up it will show stuff like that, do you know how to arrange the drives (primary, slave+ etc)? | 20:45 |
| ssta | jola: yes, if there's enough space. Typically it will be slower though | 20:46 |
| david_r | Hi folks, I'm trying to maximize a window across multiple monitors -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/73573/how-to-maximise-a-window-across-two-monitors -- this worked for me in 11.10 but not now in 12.04. Any advice? | 20:46 |
| jola | ssta, so then it would be of=/path/to/file ? | 20:46 |
| thundx | well, when you stop it you will see a time in seconds and a block count transfered. if you see that you were getting 2kb/sec or something very low...... | 20:46 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, no, not really. | 20:46 |
| ssta | jola: yep. Using a bigger block size might help too (say bs=10k) | 20:46 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, I may have messed with the cables order and position... | 20:47 |
| bino | bjr | 20:47 |
| azertyl | bjr | 20:47 |
| thundx | heck, if you are going bigger try bs=1M | 20:47 |
| azertyl | -bjr- | 20:47 |
| thundx | bs=512 should give you, if you can see where it hangs, the block on the drive which is bad AND that number should align with what you get in fdisk. that's the only reason I usually start out with bs=512 | 20:48 |
| ZeloZelos | _255: ah ok, so heres the short, to have 2 hd's, one will be master and one will be slave, both on the same cable, the master probably will not need a jumper, the slave will need one but there should be a diagram on the drive its self, the same for disk drives. just make sure both hd's are on the same cable (or the cables they are connect to go to the same area of the board) | 20:48 |
| azertyl | well is there any web based version of ubuntu available here ? | 20:48 |
| ssta | azertyl: "web based version"? | 20:49 |
| ZeloZelos | _255: the best thing to do for now is only use 1 hd and 1 disk drive (not inc a floppy if its there) set all to master | 20:49 |
| azertyl | hold down i back | 20:49 |
| jola | ssta, thundx: results: 57326153+0 records in, 57326152+0 records out, 29350989824 bytes (29 GB) copied, 640.507 s, 45.8 MB/s | 20:49 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, the order the cable connects doesn't matters, like if it connects first one of the drivers and then the other? | 20:49 |
| ssta | jola: that's about the right speed...in the ballpark anyway | 20:50 |
| Popopo | hello everyone | 20:50 |
| thundx | so you stopped it? that looks pretty good. | 20:50 |
| _255 | And how about the cd-rom driver? | 20:50 |
| thundx | chances are you have simple disk corruption, not a bad hdd | 20:50 |
| azertyl | hello | 20:50 |
| azertyl | well is there any web based version of ubuntu available here ? | 20:50 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, And how about the cd-rom drive? | 20:50 |
| === Guest20933 is now known as L0tt037 | ||
| ZeloZelos | _255: no it dont matter, but the cable should have some print on it to tell you the desired connection if not just connect the master to the end and leave the other one off, the same with the disk drives | 20:50 |
| L0tt037 | Am I the only oppne not craqzy about 11.10 vs/10.10? | 20:51 |
| thundx | So now you need a NTFS fsck | 20:51 |
| ssta | azertyl: I have no idea what you mean by "web based version"? | 20:51 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, it conteigns two different interfaces CSM and SLA, with one shoudld I jump it? | 20:51 |
| jola | ssta, thundx: so the next step would be to make space on an external hd and copy the whole partition there, with "sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/path/to/file bs=1M"? | 20:51 |
| azertyl | cloud os | 20:51 |
| ssta | jola: you might want to look around for a Barts PE disk (or whatever the modern equivalent is...been a few years since I cared about windows systems) | 20:51 |
| thundx | yep. that will make a backup. If you can figure out the NTFS signature you can add that with a hex editor or vim | 20:51 |
| thundx | ooh, yeah, forgot about barts. | 20:52 |

| ZeloZelos | _255 to be honest, i dont know a lot about this, but i usually can muddle through | 20:53 |
| thundx | no, don't preallocate. that won't help any. just format it as something you can read with Linux and start making a big file. Probably use EXT4 for the fstype | 20:53 |
| moonshield | thundx, any free alternatives to tor? | 20:54 |
| _255 | ZeloZelos, ok, I will give it a shoot and see what happens, thank you for now man! | 20:54 |

| thundx | sorry, Azertyl | 20:57 |
| azertyl | ok i forgive you | 20:57 |
| moonshield | thundx, how can someone block tor? | 20:57 |
| jola | thundx, there are 61 GB used on the external disk. it's vfat | 20:58 |
| jola | wait, IIRC it can only have files up to 4 GB? | 20:58 |

| ssta | thundx: writing an nvidia driver is decidedly non-trivial...it's better than I could have done | 21:07 |
| thundx | well, we've only had Sandy Bridge for about a year now. I suppose we'll get support for it sometime in 2016 | 21:08 |
| thundx | and Nvidia produces a driver. But the GPL crowd is too pure to just use it. Better to break every single distribution (except Gentoo) than support a binary driver /puke | 21:09 |
| ssta | you can just use the nvidia driver if you prefer (I do) | 21:10 |
| mraxilus | does nobody here have experience with notify-osd? | 21:10 |
| thundx | I do. Its just that I have to add "nouveau.modeset=0" in order to boot until I get that junk out of the kernel | 21:10 |
| ssta | well, it's irritating, but hadly the end of the world (a papercut if you like) | 21:11 |
| thundx | Gentoo has the only install/boot media that will boot without editing on this laptop. I can, literally, install OSX on this as a hackintosh faster than any linux version. | 21:12 |

| jola | ssta, but doesn't the option to repair windows on the windows recovery cd only search for a (broken) windows installation? that would mean, the partition has to be readable to start with | 22:04 |
| ssta | jola: yes, but not necessarily mountable... | 22:07 |
| jola | ssta, but how can the windows recovery cd read the disk if it has no ntfs signature? | 22:08 |
| jola | if it only repairs windows installs on ntfs disks | 22:08 |
| ssta | jola: part of what it can do for recovery is repair ntfs sigs (sometimes) | 22:10 |
| jola | ah | 22:10 |
| ssta | jola: you realise that all this will basically be a matter of luck. You *may* be able to recover, or you may be hosed | 22:11 |
| jola | :( | 22:11 |
| ssta | jola: if you take a lesson from it (whether or not you can recover) it's "take backups of data I care about" :) | 22:12 |

| jola | ssta, damn, I had irc logging turned off. I forgot: why do I need to create a new partition for the backup of the corrupted partition like thundx suggested? | 22:23 |
| ssta | jola: because recovery is potentially destructive and if you have a backup you can dd it back and try again | 22:28 |
| jola | ssta, but why not just create a 80GB file instead of creating a partition for this file? | 22:29 |
| ssta | jola: because the only place you had space was on a fat32 partition, and fat32 only handles 4G files | 22:30 |
| ResQue | jola: i think either would be fine. you best bet would be to use DD to copy the whole damage drive/parition (bit for bit) even the empty parts of the disk to a new drive. Then do the data recovery on the copy you just created. | 22:30 |
| jola | ssta, yes, but I also have an external ntfs disk, if I move stuff from there to the fat32 one and delete some stuff I might have enough space. and then I don't need to create a partition, right? | 22:31 |
| ssta | jola: right | 22:31 |
| jola | ok | 22:31 |
| ResQue | jola: that way if you fuck something up or overwrite some of the data of the copy you still have the original to do start again | 22:31 |
| jola | maybe I should also buy another external disk to be able to have multiple copies of that huge 80GB file | 22:32 |
| ResQue | jola: its not a great idea but if you are running low on disk space you could make a backup of the whole drive in to a single file, with heavy compression | 22:32 |
| jola | so in case I edit it and it doesn't work I don't have to wait hours until I've copied it again | 22:32 |
| ResQue | jola: i would suggest if you can afford to and the data is a valuble buy another drive to copy the data on to. but if you dont have the money you dont really have a choice do you | 22:33 |
| jola | ResQue, I've planned to buy a desktop PC soon (this is a laptop) and need a disk for it anyway. but it would be an internal one | 22:34 |

| ResQue | jola: the error didnt happen to come up when you connected your laptop to a new network at your university did it? | 22:57 |
| warfaren | yeah, afaik rc.local doesn't do much on debian systems. i could be wrong though | 22:57 |
| warfaren | MrUnagi: i believe you're better off looking into adding that to /etc/fstab | 22:57 |
| warfaren | not that exact command, but the proper format for fstab | 22:58 |
| MrUnagi | warfaren: I cant add it to fstab because I have to mod probe nbd first | 23:00 |
| MrUnagi | Fstab tries to mount before rc.local does | 23:00 |
| MrUnagi | Er before rc.local modprobes | 23:00 |
| warfaren | okay, well anyways all the experiments i've ever done with rc.local have failed. it seems that the file is just a dummy on ubuntu and never gets run. it's only worked for me on redhat based systems | 23:00 |
| warfaren | feel free to prove me wrong, though. i'm by no means an expert | 23:00 |
| MrUnagi | The other two scripts fire fine | 23:00 |
| warfaren | they're in rc.local too? | 23:00 |
| MrUnagi | Yes | 23:00 |
| jola | ResQue, it happened a few hours after I connected my laptop to my neighbor's network who allowed me to access her wireless network temporarily. I noticed that often there were hickups in audio playback which in my experience always happened due to network connectivity issues, but I didn't get disconnected. and the BSOD happened after a few hours | 23:00 |
| MrUnagi | Is there any other way to run a mount script on log in | 23:00 |
| warfaren | oh, in that case i have no idea. sorry | 23:00 |
| warfaren | i guess you could always create a script in /etc/init.d? and add it with update-rc.d *scriptname* defaults? | 23:01 |
| warfaren | possibly... dunno if it's a good idea. | 23:01 |

| ResQue | jola: other good place to start reading: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery You will need to do a few hours/days reading before you start the recovery any way. so why your waiting for your new drive its a good time to get up to speed on the proccesses and theory. it will 100% serve you well many times in the future | 23:07 |

| javierf_ | Hi! I'm using Ubuntu but files with greek characters are not read properly... do I have to install Greek language to be able to read it? How would I do that? Thanks! | 23:29 |
| warfaren | cchildress: maybe you should check it out on google before rebooting your machine, if you dont have a live cd ready | 23:29 |
| cchildress | warfaren: i do have a live cd, and i've gotten that error before | 23:30 |
| warfaren | cchildress: it could be hard to boot it if grub gets messed up you know | 23:30 |
| cchildress | warfaren: but fair warning | 23:30 |
| cchildress | see you folks in a bit... | 23:30 |

| StepNjump | Can anybody help me with this error. Im trying to reduce a jpg size. Here's what I get back: convert: unable to open image `/resized/./Incident 120007.jpg': @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2498. | 23:39 |
| Xabster | toraux_, how would the wireless expert know? | 23:39 |
| scientes_ | gnome shell and unity dont work since i upgraded to 3.2.0-22 | 23:39 |
| tlhonmey | nositelicense: grub is choosing a screen resolution that's not compatible with your monitor. I'm not sure how to change the mode, but it should be covered in the documentation. Set it to VGA 640x480, that should be compatible with just about anything... | 23:40 |
| toraux_ | Xabster, touche... heres the problem: everything works fine right after I start the machine, but time later I get high packet loss, the issue goes away (for a little while) after a reboot | 23:40 |
| cchildress | warfaren: you, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. i can now choose what i want to boot, win7 boots great, the sky is blue and the world is a happy place again. | 23:40 |
| cchildress | well, at least at my house it is | 23:40 |

| cchildress | scientes_: actually, i was just reporting back that the support warfaren gave me was correct and worked, but i get your point and will keep off-topic chat elsewhere :) | 23:42 |
| warfaren | scientes_: i think that was just his extended way of thanking me for my help :P | 23:42 |
| warfaren | lol | 23:42 |
| toraux_ | anyone have any clue what my wireless issue might be caused by? | 23:44 |
| scientes_ | oh, np | 23:44 |
