| Tetracomm | Does anyone know of tv tuner adapters that work with Ubuntu? | 00:30 |
| Tetracomm | I need to know soon, the tv isn't really working anymore. | 00:30 |
| blubs2345 | yes, there are some. (and even good tutorials how to install them= | 00:31 |
| Tetracomm | blubs2345: Could you tell me as many as possible so I can go through the prices? | 00:31 |
| mizifih | linux-headers-generics what package is that, what is it for? | 00:32 |
| blubs2345 | sorry, i only know, that my stick works. The best is to search for a good stick, and then try to find a e.g. tutorial for the ubuntu installation. | 00:32 |
| blubs2345 | My Stick is a PCTV-Stick (Pinnacle) | 00:32 |
| blubs2345 | Tetracomm: Its quite old, a Pinnacle (today: PCTV) 72e, but quite good. | 00:34 |
| arthurblack | aaas curl is a bit low level if you want to parse the content of a web page. id suggest to look further for some wrapper for parsing html content | 00:35 |
| arthurblack | which would probably base on curl | 00:36 |
| aaas | arthurblack well i was looking for it so i can run it from my php script to fetch a mint.com csv file, but it looks like someone already coded it for me | 00:38 |
| Tetracomm | blubs2345: I don't think I can find that. I am looking for one to buy new. | 00:39 |
| blubs2345 | well. its still available, but i also wouldn't buy that anymore.. | 00:42 |

| eightiesk | is there anyway to remove unity from 12.06 | 00:50 |
| eightiesk | !unity | 00:51 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 00:51 |
| === Guest16065 is now known as Swinden_ | ||
| eightiesk | !notunity | 00:52 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:52 |
| cyrex | eightiesk, Unity is the default one since 11.04. Although you could do some weird stuff in 11.04 to remove it and leave gnome, since 11.10 that is practically impossible. You could use Gnome Shell or Gnome Fallback in 12.04. | 00:52 |
| eightiesk | whats gnome fallback like? | 00:53 |
| cyrex | eightiesk, just lighter and looks like gnome classic | 00:54 |
| eightiesk | whats the diffrence? | 00:54 |
| cyrex | eightiesk, have you used gnome 2.x? | 00:54 |
| eightiesk | ya | 00:55 |
| cyrex | eightiesk, looks like that | 00:55 |
| eightiesk | i started using ubuntu @ hardy | 00:55 |
| eightiesk | i left when 11 came out | 00:55 |
| cyrex | eightiesk, gnome fallback is for people with low graphics, low resource PC, and low everything. Is on the borderline between jumping to Xubuntu/Lubuntu and staying in Ubuntu | 00:55 |
| eightiesk | ugh | 00:56 |
| cyrex | eightiesk, got it. Well gnome fallback will bring you back to hardy | 00:56 |
| eightiesk | I liked 10.10 | 00:56 |

| _Tristan | Hello. Ubuntu fails to boot at "loading ramdisk". I have a recovery console going. What now? | 01:05 |
| _Tristan | there | 01:05 |
| eightiesk | this is why people are switching to mint ; ; | 01:05 |
| Logan_ | !ot | eightiesk | 01:06 |
| ubottu | eightiesk: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 01:06 |
| lun4tic | _Tristan: what did you do before it stoped booting? | 01:06 |
| lun4tic | _Tristan: and dont say "nothing" :D | 01:06 |
| eightiesk | Logan_: it was relevant to my question, as well to the situation. | 01:06 |
| _Tristan | lun4tic: Ok, since you asked, I plugged in an ethernet cable | 01:06 |
| _Tristan | I also unplugged that ethernet cable | 01:07 |
| Logan_ | eightiesk: Speculation should be in -offtopic, not here. | 01:07 |
| lun4tic | _Tristan: if it doesnt work when you unplug it either it is not the source of the problem | 01:07 |
| lun4tic | what else did you do? | 01:07 |
| _Tristan | the most dangerous thing I did was fix /etc/networks/interfaces, but all I did was set it back to the way it usually is (the factory default) | 01:08 |
| lun4tic | did you install something? | 01:08 |
| lun4tic | upgrade | 01:08 |
| _Tristan | nope | 01:08 |
| lun4tic | did you do something with grub? | 01:09 |
| lun4tic | or install windows? | 01:09 |
| _Tristan | neither | 01:09 |
| lun4tic | macosx? :D | 01:09 |
| lun4tic | can you change root and install grub again? | 01:10 |
| lun4tic | or update it at least | 01:10 |
| _Tristan | not sure how to do that | 01:10 |
| lun4tic | http://askubuntu.com/questions/88384/how-can-i-repair-grub-how-to-get-ubuntu-back-after-installing-windows try this | 01:11 |
| _Tristan | is it grub-install /dev/sda? | 01:11 |
| lun4tic | maybe it helps | 01:11 |
| lun4tic | i dont know your harddrive configuration. is there any raid involved? | 01:11 |
| _Tristan | nope, just a standard full-disk ubuntu install | 01:12 |
| lun4tic | k | 01:12 |
| _Tristan | are options 1-5 necessary? I'm in a terminal, not a live cd | 01:12 |
| lun4tic | but just try reinstalling grub2 as described | 01:12 |
| lun4tic | if you have a bootet system it should work | 01:12 |
| lun4tic | how did you start the recovery? | 01:12 |
| lun4tic | selected from the bootmenu? | 01:13 |
| lun4tic | cause then its probably some kernel problem | 01:13 |
| rhin0 | will just a standard usb webcam (from ebay) work with ubuntu? | 01:13 |
| rhin0 | cheap one | 01:13 |
| lun4tic | that during the upgrade some initrd generation didnt work right | 01:13 |
| _Tristan | I did try to install some driver manually once upon a time... said it would do something with every kernel update | 01:14 |
| cambazz | hello when i loginto ubuntu i get some security package warnings | 01:14 |
| cambazz | how can i apt-get them | 01:14 |
| cambazz | apt-get upgrade wont do the trick | 01:14 |
| lun4tic | _Tristan: which specific driver? | 01:14 |
| Tetracomm | I need to know if the Hauppauge 1191 will work on Ubuntu. Does anyone know or have a way I can find out? I have been searching google, and I saw something about Mythbuntu so far. | 01:15 |
| _Tristan | hmm... some wireless driver, I won't know until I can get this thing on. I wasn't in grub's recovery mode option, though, I was using a live CDF | 01:15 |
| _Tristan | tada, le boot. update-grub did it. | 01:15 |
| rhin0 | i sort of gather that cheap web camera will work | 01:16 |
| rhin0 | usb | 01:16 |

| Logan_ | Tetracomm: That Amazon review seems to suggest that you can. | 01:22 |

| Tetracomm | hmm | 01:22 |

| eightiesk | does anyone know how i can get gnome-tweak-tool to work for themes? | 03:07 |
| itemized | pepee, not yet | 03:08 |
| imprint | does any one have any brains at all in here? | 03:08 |
| pepee | itemized, you can try removing it, xorg.conf is not really needed in newer ubuntus | 03:09 |
| icallitvera | imprint what the hell i asked you questions and you did not respond | 03:09 |
| roach | '*libgmodule-2.0.0.dylib* not found | 03:09 |
| itemized | pepee how would i go about that | 03:09 |
| pepee | roach, ubuntu? | 03:09 |
| roach | yes | 03:09 |
| imprint | well dont take it personal | 03:09 |
| pepee | itemized, mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup | 03:09 |
| imprint | I cant see that your talking to me directly | 03:10 |
| icallitvera | imprint what verions of the installer? | 03:10 |
| pepee | roach, no idea, sorry | 03:10 |
| roach | :( | 03:11 |
| icallitvera | imprint what about the type of Drive does it work with LiveCD or on the orig OS? | 03:11 |
| imprint | 10.4 lucid | 03:11 |
| pepee | roach, try reinstalling/reconfiguring | 03:11 |
| roach | can you send me dylib? | 03:11 |
| roach | :D | 03:11 |
| icallitvera | imprint does it need any kind of special drivers to run | 03:11 |
| imprint | I dont think so | 03:11 |
| pepee | roach, where did you get irsii from? | 03:11 |
| imprint | I just think the hd is not good or something | 03:11 |
| linux_is_my_hero | i changed my password on ubuntu when i was drunk and now i dont remember what i changed it to. what can i do short of a fresh install? | 03:12 |
| roach | i did 'sudo apt-get install irssi irssi-scripts screen openssh-server' | 03:12 |
| icallitvera | imprint can you even see the HD with a liveCD? | 03:12 |
| pepee | imprint, what is your problem? | 03:12 |
| itemized | pepee, no such file or directory for xorg.conf | 03:12 |
| imprint | does not read i am not sure, I am using usb install like I did before | 03:13 |
| imprint | Cannot get past page 4 of 8 at the create partitions page | 03:13 |
| pepee | itemized, ok, then it's not there | 03:13 |
| icallitvera | just becuse there are no options? and is it the alternate installer or the desktop? | 03:14 |
| pepee | itemized, run sudo Xorg -configure | 03:14 |
| imprint | in other words, there are no options regarding erasing or partitioning the hard drive | 03:14 |
| pepee | imprint, tried creating partitions manually? do you know how to do that? | 03:14 |
| icallitvera | imprint but can you see any of the partitions? | 03:14 |
| imprint | not at this page no | 03:14 |
| pepee | imprint, could be a corrupted iso image | 03:15 |
| imprint | no, cant see any partitions | 03:15 |
| pepee | also, tried 12.04? | 03:15 |
| imprint | ah ha, perhaps I will create new installer | 03:15 |
| itemized | pepee "Server is already active for display 0, etc" | 03:15 |
| pepee | itemized, kill it, the run that in the tty | 03:16 |
| imprint | seems to me that theres no partitions to read? | 03:17 |
| Areckx | lol that would suck if my password was changed while I was drunk | 03:17 |
| Areckx | I would never do that, even drunk, | 03:17 |
| itemized | pepee, i figured it out. thank you so much for the help! | 03:17 |
| pepee | itemized, yw :) | 03:18 |
| pepee | imprint, fdisk -l or lsblk will show you the partitions | 03:18 |
| Areckx | for future reference, I should make a backup of my files so I can restore in the case I would have to do a fresh install | 03:18 |
| pepee | itemized, did it work? | 03:18 |
| icallitvera | Areckx thats what the seperate partitions are for | 03:19 |
| pepee | Areckx, best is to install /home in some other partition | 03:19 |
| itemized | i went to #vbox and figured it out. | 03:19 |
| Areckx | is there a way to compress(highest rate that is sane) my files so I can restore after a fresh install? | 03:19 |
| imprint | do I do that in the terminal? | 03:19 |
| itemized | it was just host+home | 03:19 |
| Areckx | oh I see | 03:19 |
| Areckx | gparted??? | 03:19 |
| icallitvera | ur really supposed to set it up at install but you could do in w/ gparted | 03:20 |
| pepee | itemized, how did you fix it? | 03:20 |
| Areckx | icallitvera :: So what are the problems that may show up if I use gparted? | 03:20 |
| icallitvera | you'd have to resize the main partition make a new one copy all the files and then edit whatever the file is called that controls the mounting | 03:20 |
| itemized | all i had to do was use Host+Home to bring it to full screen, and it automatically changed the resolution :S | 03:20 |
| yeik | I remember I set up partitions, and made /tmp noexec | 03:20 |
| yeik | that was fun when an update didn't proply remount it | 03:21 |
| pepee | itemized, ahh haha | 03:21 |
| Areckx | so how would I move my /home directory to the new partition? | 03:21 |
| pepee | itemized, forgot that resizing the window will change the resolution :P | 03:21 |
| icallitvera | just copy it, after the partition is made in gparted it would show up like any other one | 03:21 |
| itemized | pepee, i know, right? so simple! thanks again for the help! i don't know how in the hell you keep helping ALL these people | 03:21 |
| icallitvera | and to set it up so that on boot it would load you'd havee to edit /etc/fstab | 03:22 |
| Areckx | icallitvera :: I see | 03:22 |
| pepee | itemized, I have lots of time... :P | 03:22 |
| Areckx | icallitvera :: what do you mean about the edit file? | 03:22 |
| pepee | Areckx, check the manpage for cp | 03:23 |
| Areckx | pepee :: thank you | 03:23 |
| itemized | pepee, well good, man. glad to see your giving your free time to helping others. is there anything i can do for YOU? :P | 03:23 |
| yeik | Areckx, you have to edit /etc/fstab to tell it to mount the new partition as /home | 03:23 |
| icallitvera | waht yeik said | 03:23 |
| imprint | I will totally erase usb and try over, thanks everyone that helped me. peace | 03:23 |
| Areckx | lol I think it's funny they're called "MANpage" | 03:23 |
| pepee | you should use cp -a to copy (for permissions, etc) | 03:23 |
| Areckx | yeik :: I see | 03:23 |
| yeik | Areckx, man short for manual | 03:24 |
| pepee | itemized, don't worry | 03:24 |
| Areckx | pepee :: I prefer terminal, that's a good idea | 03:24 |
| Areckx | yeik :: I know, it's just funny | 03:24 |
| pepee | itemized, if you can help people, do it :P | 03:24 |

| itemized | have a good night yall! | 03:25 |
| Areckx | itemized :: Good night! sudo pm-hibernate | 03:26 |
| Areckx | Which reminds me... I forgot to make my swap file bigger! | 03:26 |
| Guest51097 | g'day all,just wondering how i can get the sound to work in cheese.....i can record video,but in silence! | 03:26 |
| yeik | Areckx, are you running out of memory? | 03:26 |
| Areckx | I was trying to fix it in gparted, but I think it messed things up a little so I did a clean install | 03:26 |
| icallitvera | how big do you guys have the swap partition | 03:26 |
| yeik | my swap is twice the size of the installed ram | 03:27 |
| Areckx | before I do anything I will be sure to make sure all of my hard drive is off of a boot partition | 03:27 |
| pepee | no swap here | 03:27 |
| yeik | my swap 99% of the time is unused | 03:27 |
| icallitvera | is there like a recommended size? | 03:27 |
| kelli | icallitvera, How much memory do you have | 03:27 |
| icallitvera | 1.7GB | 03:27 |
| pepee | it is supposed to be twice the ram | 03:27 |
| kelli | icallitvera, Double it at 4gb. | 03:28 |
| Areckx | yeik :: I would like to use hibernate, since I have no battery on my laptop and sometimes the switch is turned off while I'm away from the computer. I suppose I could just set up a bunch of programs to start up on boot... I would have to have them open up in 3 workspaces | 03:28 |
| icallitvera | nice i just did like 1% of my harddrive and thats just about 4gb | 03:28 |
| kelli | icallitvera, Generally over 4GB of system ram - you probably wont need much swap (of course depending on the applications you run) | 03:28 |
| Areckx | So how much is the minimum for the OS? | 03:29 |
| Areckx | I have 160gb total | 03:29 |
| yeik | Areckx, i don't think it uses swap for that, but not sure. | 03:29 |
| Areckx | When I reduce the size and create a new partition for my home folder, how much should I leave for the OS? | 03:29 |
| icallitvera | he means the / partitions and the only other would be /home | 03:29 |
| yeik | Areckx, are you just seperating /home or going to seperate others as well? 20 gb should be good. but if you have it do 30-40gb | 03:30 |
| kelli | Areckx, 4gb is gnerally enough for the OS. But I'd reserve at least 8-10 | 03:30 |
| kelli | Just in case you get froggy with software to d/l | 03:30 |
| Areckx | yeik :: I just want to use this OS, so I only need enough to store the OS and room for updates/additional packages | 03:30 |
| yeik | kelli, I don't think 4 gb is enough, i filled up 20 gb on one of my systems. | 03:30 |
| kelli | yeik, 20GB in where? /usr? | 03:31 |
| yeik | Areckx, i mean, install developer tools, games, or just browser | 03:31 |
| Areckx | or do you recommend I set an additional partition for apt-get???? | 03:31 |
| yeik | kelli, i don't remember exactly where. it was a while back and i fixed it. | 03:31 |
| kelli | yeik, Typically, your /home and /usr partitions will be the largest. That is of course if you dont have anything under /opt | 03:32 |
| fabian_ovrwrt | twice of the installed drive is good only for 2gb or less ram, 2gb or more i recommend to use half of the installed ram | 03:32 |
| Areckx | oh ok | 03:32 |
| kelli | Areckx, Why not use LVM? | 03:32 |
| yeik | kelli, yeah, because /usr holds the binary files, and /home all your other files. | 03:32 |
| pepee | fabian_ovrwrt, what about suspend to disk? | 03:32 |
| Areckx | so I should set a seperate partition for /home and /usr while leaving about 10GB or so for the OS? | 03:32 |
| kelli | Areckx, Then carve out partitions and then you can readjust them as needed. | 03:32 |
| Areckx | kelli :: LVM? | 03:33 |
| kelli | Areckx, Do you really need separate partitions is the real kicker.. | 03:33 |
| Areckx | kelli :: I really just want my downloaded files to be protected in case I have to do a clean install of the OS | 03:33 |
| kelli | Areckx, Your downloaded files - being files you download through apt-get? | 03:33 |
| icallitvera | i only have a different /home partition for keeping _most_ my settings and stuff between isntalls | 03:33 |
| yeik | /dev/sda5 29528148 6644736 21383460 24% / | 03:33 |
| Areckx | linux_is_my_hero :: I've been asking your question, btw | 03:34 |
| linux_is_my_hero | how do i get around forgetting my admin password? | 03:34 |
| cwi | Areckx: i have the same question :) | 03:34 |
| Areckx | linux_is_my_hero :: I thought the solution would be preventative | 03:34 |
| yeik | linux_is_my_hero, i use password safe to store all my passwords | 03:34 |
| jerrry | how to read ms xml documents in libre writer? | 03:34 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Areckx: next time I'll just take the power cord so she doesn't log in to my computer | 03:34 |
| linux_is_my_hero | its a desktop :-) | 03:35 |
| Areckx | icallitvera :: So I would definitely want to set an additional partition for /home ? | 03:35 |
| pepee | linux_is_my_hero, in the kernel line in grub, add 'init=/bin/bash' and delete splash | 03:35 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Areckx: i stepped out for a minute, anything i should try? | 03:35 |
| cwi | is it safe to resize the main ubuntu partition? add another partition in the middle, and leave the swap in the end of HD? | 03:35 |
| icallitvera | it depends, i usually end up changing the system every few months and it works well for me | 03:35 |
| eightiesk | is there a channel for 12 yet? | 03:35 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pepeeL uts been awhile since I've done that...is it f8 during bootup to get to the grub editor menu? | 03:35 |
| Areckx | linux_is_my_hero :: I'm just thinking about how I can secure my files and settings IN THE CASE that I have to do a clean install | 03:35 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Areckx: ubuntu one | 03:36 |
| Areckx | linux_is_my_hero :: I mean, without the need for an internet connection | 03:36 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Areckx: if your internet supports it. some arent fast enough for the initial upload, you'll pull your hair out | 03:36 |
| pepee | linux_is_my_hero, reboot. when you get in grub, press E in the line you want to edit | 03:36 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Areckx: you can backup your files once a week to an external hard drive | 03:36 |

| cwi | linux_is_my_hero: i backed up my files on an external HD before installing ubuntu, did full format. is it safe for me to resize ubuntu partition and make a new one to restore my files? | 03:38 |
| cwi | linux_is_my_hero: hold shift | 03:39 |
| PRabbit | hi | 03:39 |
| icallitvera | cwi i would think that you should do so from a liveCD | 03:39 |
| cwi | icallitvera: ok will do that, thanks | 03:39 |
| linux_is_my_hero | cwi: ubuntu can see all other file formats...so after you edit the partition, or even before, you can copy everything back over from the external. :-) | 03:39 |
| pepee | linux_is_my_hero, what cwi said, I think | 03:39 |
| Areckx | linux_is_my_hero :: Ubuntu One sounds good though | 03:40 |
| linux_is_my_hero | *not file formats, but file structures...like ntfs, etc | 03:40 |

| jerrry | should i be able to just open word xml files in ubuntu libre writer? | 03:43 |
| icallitvera | wait the files in the folders or the files themselves? | 03:43 |
| cwi | linux_is_my_hero & pepee: to be specific, i want to make 3 partitions for restoring my files, plus 1 new partition for kubuntu (hibernate/suspend failed in ubuntu, they said it works in kubuntu, so i want to give a try) | 03:43 |
| jerrry | or do i need plugins? | 03:43 |
| lduros | yeik: but all the files between two directories recursively? | 03:44 |
| icallitvera | jerrry it depends what version of word they were saved in i think | 03:44 |
| yeik | lduros, diff -r or -R can't remember which | 03:44 |
| lduros | the files have the same names | 03:44 |
| Areckx | I should just hold back on using gparted until I know more | 03:44 |
| CFHowlett | jerrry for the record, Libre Writer is NOT an ubuntu product ... | 03:44 |
| jerrry | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> | 03:44 |

| linux_is_my_hero | I have 4 large binders full of cd's...from the past 20 years (I'm 27) | 03:50 |
| williamdoors | !chmod | 03:50 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 03:50 |
| williamdoors | !chmod directory | 03:51 |
| williamdoors | how do i change the chmod to 777 on a directory so i can install some software? | 03:51 |
| icallitvera | chmod 777 /ur/dir/path/here | 03:52 |
| williamdoors | in ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| icallitvera | you might need to use sudo | 03:52 |
| icallitvera | yes | 03:52 |
| williamdoors | ok ty i'll give it a go | 03:52 |
| williamdoors | will this do it recursivly? | 03:54 |
| yeik | that changes it for the folder, you need -r for recursive | 03:54 |
| yeik | make sure you want to change everything there though | 03:55 |
| williamdoors | where do i place the -r? | 03:55 |
| williamdoors | yes i will change it back once i run the install script | 03:55 |
| williamdoors | and its local network | 03:55 |
| DrManhattan | so my issue with WOL - it was solved by compiling/installing the factory module instead of the stock kernel module. I was wondering why the source from the factory wasnt included in the kernel instead of whatever is in there now? | 03:55 |
| yeik | DrManhattan, cool! | 03:56 |
| williamdoors | chmod -r 777 /path/to/dir is this correct? | 03:56 |
| DrManhattan | are all the kernel modules the linux kernel written by scratch by the open source community? | 03:56 |
| yeik | williamdoors, looks correct, but if its network, not sure it will work. also changing it back? | 03:56 |
| williamdoors | yes i will change it back once i run the install script | 03:57 |
| williamdoors | and its local | 03:57 |
| linux_is_my_hero | awesome! i changed the root password. what about my login password? the one i forgot is my admin password, is that the same as the root password? and what about my "default keyring"? | 03:57 |
| icallitvera | why not do sudo passwd username | 03:57 |
| icallitvera | would that work? or just change the root password | 03:57 |
| icallitvera | yeah you could do that | 03:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | icallitvera thats a fantastic idea ill try that | 03:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | how do i get a list of users on my computer? im trying to use sudo passwd username | 04:01 |
| icallitvera | isn't it sudo cat /etc/shadow | 04:01 |
| maheanuu | IaOra!!!! Bak, finally got the notebook up and running and the old celery inltel tower has been designated as the official bench for one of the grandkids | 04:01 |
| icallitvera | adn the "username" would just be the name you use to login | 04:01 |
| Nach0z | linux_is_my_hero: should be in /etc/passwd, afaik | 04:02 |
| randomnik | hi | 04:02 |
| linux_is_my_hero | icallitvera: outstanding | 04:02 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Nach0z: thank you :-) | 04:03 |
| linux_is_my_hero | THIS IS WHY I LOVE LINUX. | 04:03 |
| randomnik | i reinstalled winxp, after i had win7, so grub2 is gone. i downloaded supergrub live cd and i am curently in my ubuntu system, did full update | 04:03 |
| williamdoors | yeik ty it worked :) | 04:03 |
| randomnik | but how to reinstall grub from normal ubuntu system | 04:03 |
| icallitvera | wait Nach0z whats the difference between the files? they both seem to be a listing of users | 04:03 |
| randomnik | all i google is from livecd | 04:03 |
| linuxuz3r | is it possible to run native windows 7 x64 as guest in virtualbox? | 04:03 |
| CFHowlett | !grub2|randomnik | 04:03 |
| ubottu | randomnik: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 04:03 |
| DrManhattan | Hey is there anywhere I can recommend integrating the realtek driver code for the 8111c | 04:04 |
| randomnik | i dont wantto go into livecd as i am already in my real ubuntu | 04:04 |
| linux_is_my_hero | icallitvera: now the ubuntu login gui won't let me in. it goes black then goes back to the login gui...what does THAT mean? | 04:04 |
| DrManhattan | the stock driver doesn't work with WOL and I don't know where to file a report on it. I have this same problem with other distros too | 04:04 |
| Nach0z | icallitvera: don't think there is any real difference as far as what you're looking for | 04:04 |
| DrManhattan | I can't believe I actually found a solution. I havent used linux on this box for that specific reason | 04:05 |
| icallitvera | linux_is_my_hero change to one of the ttys and try to login there | 04:05 |
| Nach0z | linuxuz3r: yes. | 04:05 |
| icallitvera | linux_is_my_hero Ctrl-Alt-F1 | 04:05 |
| linux_is_my_hero | icallitvera: how? | 04:05 |

| Nach0z | linuxuz3r: if you're using windows as a guest in a virtualbox, no...? break what install exactly? as long as you have a vhd for it, it's just like installing on a normal computer | 04:06 |
| lewis1711 | hello kind ubuntu people.

| Nach0z | lewis1711: openjdk-6-jdk and openjdk-6-jre are what you're lookin for, probably | 04:08 |
| Down_to_Earth | Nautilus: Depending how fast your computer can process the information, then yes, expected. | 04:08 |
| icallitvera | linux_is_my_hero the partition is not encrypted is it? | 04:08 |
| linux_is_my_hero | it is | 04:09 |
| linux_is_my_hero | icallitvera: why cant i log in from the gui? | 04:09 |

| Nautilus | Down_to_Earth: well, that just seems sp long. 2 hours to burn <1/2 a DVD? | 04:10 |
| yeik | linux_is_my_hero, all the files for the user will need to be removed. unless you have the key/restore | 04:10 |
| linux_is_my_hero | yeik: so i might as well do a fresh install? | 04:10 |
| linux_is_my_hero | yeik: screw this im going to bed. | 04:10 |
| icallitvera | now i feel bad :( | 04:11 |
| yeik | no, just delete user folder | 04:11 |
| linux_is_my_hero | its my admin account which is also my user account | 04:11 |
| icallitvera | its not the root is it? | 04:11 |
| Down_to_Earth | lewis1711:You know where you get programs on ubuntu?, just search java in that if you know what i am talking about | 04:11 |

| linux_is_my_hero | yeik: yes i have important files | 04:11 |
| Nautilus | FFS - error burning now | 04:12 |
| Down_to_Earth | lewis1711: or use "sudo get-apt install openjdk-6-jdk" in terminal | 04:12 |
| yeik | linux_is_my_hero, you might need more of an expert then, someone who knows about encrypted user info. | 04:12 |
| linux_is_my_hero | icallitvera: i changed the root password though | 04:12 |
| dalek_ | In the history of the universe, has a user ever been found that likes unity? And if not, why does unity exist? | 04:12 |
| linux_is_my_hero | yeik: i changed the root password a few minutes ago | 04:12 |
| linux_is_my_hero | yeik: for some reason the gui won't let me log in | 04:12 |
| linux_is_my_hero | and the tty says "required key not availible" | 04:12 |
| yeik | linux_is_my_hero, root can't login by default | 04:13 |
| eightiesk | !of | dalek_ | 04:13 |
| yeik | then the folder is encrypted | 04:13 |

| yeik | no | 04:13 |

| saugat | i am using nvida driver | 04:18 |
| icallitvera | eightiesk thats not the defualt way to change thinks is it? i'd try the unity way to change it first | 04:18 |

| saugat | previously there was blue screen problem I solve it now the flash crash sometimes don't know why | 04:18 |
| lewis1711 | Down_to_Earth: nope it was just the web start. flash works fine. and now so does webstart. hooray | 04:18 |
| icallitvera | yeik okay i'll remeber that :p | 04:18 |

| linocisco | how to use send fax directly from computer? | 04:36 |
| yeik | linocisco, you have to have a landline, or use an online service | 04:36 |
| dalek_ | i wish I knew | 04:36 |
| Lint | .tr закономерный | 04:36 |
| cowboydren | maheanuu: sounds like your laptop is actually failing. Two disks almost never fail at the same time. | 04:36 |
| linocisco | yeik, landline | 04:37 |
| yeik | linocisco, then there is probably some software that will work for it. | 04:37 |
| linocisco | most fax has two port, one to phone and one to landline. all are RJ11 ports | 04:38 |
| dalek_ | linocisco, also, if you want to send "real" faxes on a landline, you'll need a proper hardware fax-modem... and they are harder and harder to come by these days. | 04:38 |
| yeik | linocisco, http://www.techsupportalert.com/freeware-forum/linux/8625-fax-software-for-linux.html | 04:38 |
| yeik | dalek_, indeed | 04:39 |
| linocisco | dalek, so Do I make extra step to print soft copy and put printed document in fax and fax it manually? | 04:39 |
| maheanuu | cowboydren, have went thru it with a fine tooth comb, and I have pretty well got it all diagnosed and the only problems were the early morning failures that took out the hard disk and I think at the same time took out the cdrom | 04:39 |
| linocisco | I want to skip printing task | 04:39 |
| maheanuu | I cannot be sure of that because I was in the middle of a medical emergency and it was a month before I returned home to trouble shoot it | 04:39 |
| dalek_ | fax software is the easy part... occasionally fax hardware will come up on ebay. | 04:39 |
| yeik | linocisco, did you see the link i posted? | 04:40 |
| grillermo | #Join django | 04:40 |
| grillermo | is there anything special about backend.py files inside my app folder? | 04:40 |
| Down_to_Earth | grillermo: /join #django ** | 04:41 |
| maheanuu | I have pretty much thrown all the diagnostics I have at the laptop Toshiba Satallite A355D | 04:41 |
| yeik | maheanuu, sometimes dvd drives die, not a big deal. you can use usb to install the os | 04:42 |
| yeik | maheanuu, the big issue is your hard drive. if it has smart tripped, or many bad sectors, thats what you need to worry about. | 04:43 |
| yeik | maheanuu, with linux, even if the laptop dies, and the hard drive is good, you can copy it to another drive or stick it in another computer and boot right up with almost no issues. | 04:43 |
| maheanuu | I am back up now, but I am getting errors when i try to use upgrade manager or Synaptic Package manager for my installs I get hash errors and download failures all the tinme | 04:44 |
| yeik | maheanuu, that could be anywhere between hard drive and the network connection. memory, or cpu even. memtest86 is good as well as a full low level test with something like seatools | 04:45 |
| maheanuu | yeik, I know, I have been in puters since the 60's I am an ex Sperry Univac Field Engineer and a Retired US Navy Chief Electronics Technician | 04:45 |
| yeik | maheanuu, ok, then what are you here asking for? | 04:45 |
| linocisco | i have http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=fax+modem&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=11257448130858224566&sa=X&ei=fJePT95Cz-057dLAiAQ&ved=0CJcBEPMCMAA | 04:46 |
| maheanuu | I still am learning Ubuntyu | 04:46 |

| dalek_ | linocisco, you should need to print anything if you have a working faxmodem. What kind of faxmodem do you have? | 04:46 |
| * yeik is going to bed | 04:46 | |
| yeik | g'night all | 04:46 |
| dalek_ | linocisco, ok.. just saw your link | 04:46 |
| maheanuu | and what I need is to find out why I cannot upbrade or do any software installs with Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS 64 Bit.... I have been tryingt to get Skype and a lot of the other stuff installed that I had befoer | 04:47 |
| cyberbob | I have installed nagios on a test machine for testing purpose, but its web interface is dull like on the left pan it usually have a black background but here in my case it is white or some sort of dull grey. . | 04:48 |
| dr_willis | what 'lots of other stuff' ? can you install stuff from the normal repos maheanuu ? | 04:48 |
| scientes | <maheanuu> I am back up now, but I am getting errors when i try to use upgrade manager or Synaptic Package manager for my installs I get hash errors and download failures all the tinme | 04:49 |
| scientes | like how often maheanuu ? | 04:49 |
| dalek_ | linocisco, that almost certainly will not work for faxing. It looks almost identical to 1000's of softmodems that go up on ebay every day. But then again you might have got lucky and it might be a real hardware modem. | 04:49 |
| scientes | maheanuu, can you paste what you are describing? seems like you have a bad internet connection or bad mirror | 04:49 |
| maheanuu | No, I tried to install Skype and also the Flash Reader and some other stuff and even my UpGrade Manager is telling me that the hash files are messed up | 04:49 |
| linocisco | dalek_, so what is the truth? | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | maheanuu: try installing somthing simple from the repos like 'unp' or 'pastebinit' see if that works.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 04:51 |
| maheanuu | scientes, I am located on the island of Raiatea in French Polynesia..... We're not at the end of the world,,,,,, We're over it | 04:51 |
| maheanuu | Hi Doc, I will do that rite now | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | !info pastebinit | 04:51 |
| ubottu | pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-2 (oneiric), package size 30 kB, installed size 480 kB | 04:51 |
| cyberbob | anyone have idea howto overcome that ? | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | ir could be anygthing over a specific ssizze may be getting messed up. | 04:51 |
| bobweaver | dr_willis, pastebinit - command-line pastebin client v.cool stuff had no idea | 04:52 |
| dalek_ | linocisco, you'll have to try it out yourself and see if it works. Test with something like efax maybe? or gfax? | 04:52 |
| scientes | maheanuu, well checksums are helping you, cause they find corruption at the start, but yeah, you might need a more reliable transport method if the error rate in unacceptable---cause apt only checks if there is any corruption in the whole thing---it relys on tcp/ip doing the rest | 04:52 |
| scientes | maheanuu, tcp/ip does have checksums however, which should work, are you using any sort of acceleration? | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | there is some apt-torrent thing. but ive never used it. ;) | 04:52 |

| eightiesk | anyone ? | 05:10 |
| Melium | Sprocks - JSON support comes standard with a LAMPP server. | 05:11 |

| ActionParsnip | tehowe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MpichCluster found that :-). If there is a client for windows for the clustering you are using, those can be added too.

| ActionParsnip | Cwi: you can hack the OS to use vesafb which loads quickly then when X loads the proprietary driver will kick in. I've tried recently and had to undo the changes in root recovery | 05:55 |
| dr_willis | i think http://localhost:631 is correct andf is by default on. you could try restarting the cups service | 05:55 |

| ApocGoD | XiRoN, the easiest way would be to backup all needed files to an external hard drive and do a fresh install of 11.10, any other way will require rollback and distro by distro upgrading. | 06:16 |
| ApocGoD | If you want to take the long route, try http://www.pc-freak.net/blog/upgrade-ubuntu-from-9-04-to-latest-ubuntu/ this. | 06:18 |
| Areckx | If I am ever unable to find a program, and the only alternative would be wine, how would I go about writing an add-on to an existing application(that works under ubuntu 10.04) | 06:20 |
| Lint | LukeNukem, ~/.wine/drive_c or something similar | 06:20 |
| shade34321 | so I just tar a directory using tar cvf directory.tar directory/ then when I go and extract it on another computer with tar xvf directory.tar it doesn't untar it in the directory(I actually can't find it anywhere) any ideas why? | 06:25 |
| no-name- | anybody know a decent PDF viewer on which you can change the background colour? I don't like the way #FFFFFF screams at my eyes | 06:25 |
| XiRoN | ApocGoD: Nothing is working, could I possible download the new ubuntu a package manually using wget and installing it like that? | 06:26 |

| ApocGoD | @XiRoN I'm not sure if that would corrupt all of your files, so I would suggest backing them up to a remote location first. | 06:27 |
| ApocGoD | @XiRoN I would suggest that if you're going to back them up, it would be easier to just install 11.10 from a disk. | 06:28 |
| XiRoN | Im doing it from a VPS | 06:28 |
| cocolos | how can I fix slow internet on my ubuntu machine? | 06:29 |
| XiRoN | its in a remote location | 06:29 |
| cocolos | internet works fine on my mac | 06:29 |
| Guest25837 | so i am running oneirc ocelot. will the update manager automatically update my os to the latest version? | 06:29 |
| smw | cocolos, is the mac different hardware? Is this a wireless network? | 06:29 |
| smw | cocolos, disclaimer: I doubt I can help | 06:29 |
| cocolos | yes different hardware, and yes wireless | 06:30 |
| ApocGoD | Okay, XiRoN, I would suggest backing them up to your location and then doing a remote install using wget. | 06:30 |
| cocolos | just found a post online thank | 06:30 |
| coder2 | Hello. How to edit /etc/resolv.conf ? - it cant'be written even as root. Or how to alter preferred DNS servers list? Network Manager isn't installed. Thanks | 06:31 |
| syphilitic | im not sure what i did, but I can only seem to get sound to play in firefox, and I can't control my volume anymore(though the volume slider graphics still work) | 06:32 |
| syphilitic | I can't get sound to play in any other program | 06:32 |
| LukeNukem | where is the folder where wine applications are installed | 06:32 |
| Dragon- | LukeNukem ~\.wine or what ever prefix u used | 06:34 |
| LukeNukem | Dragon-, unknown command in terminal | 06:35 |
| Dragon- | LukeNukem huh | 06:36 |
| Dragon- | LukeNukem since when was we talking about commands ... u asked for a location | 06:37 |
| ApocGoD | Luke, go to your Home folder > your name > Hit Ctrl + H | 06:37 |
| ApocGoD | That opens the hidden files for viewing, then look for .wine | 06:37 |
| ApocGoD | Inside that will be the C_drive folder. | 06:37 |

| metulburr_ | on ubuntu unity, chat, there is an option for irc, but there is no options for channels? | 06:48 |
| metulburr_ | does anyone know how to add channels to it | 06:48 |
| auronandace | metulburr_: wouldn't you have to /connect to a server first, then you can /join a channel | 06:51 |
| metulburr_ | yes i connected to ubuntu server viz the chat, but there is no where to put a channel in or search channel | 06:52 |
| auronandace | metulburr_: /join #ubuntu | 06:52 |
| Dragon- | metulburr_ in xchat u can search for channels | 06:52 |
| metulburr_ | not xchat, the ubuntu chat | 06:52 |
| auronandace | metulburr_: i'm guessing you mean empathy | 06:53 |
| metulburr_ | the empathy chat client | 06:53 |
| metulburr_ | yes | 06:53 |
| metulburr_ | i wasnt quite sure of the name | 06:54 |
| metulburr_ | in empathy ubuntu want even there as a serfver by default, i added it, connected to it, and then couldn't find a way to join a channel | 06:55 |
| auronandace | metulburr_: i prefer using an actual irc client than an instant messenger client with irc added on as more of an afterthought | 06:55 |
| metulburr_ | i was kind of testing it | 06:55 |
| metulburr_ | is it possible? | 06:55 |
| auronandace | metulburr_: sure its possible | 06:55 |
| auronandace | metulburr_: /connect irc.freenode.org | 06:56 |
| auronandace | metulburr_: then: /join #ubuntu | 06:56 |
| metulburr_ | i had the sserver as irc.ubuntu.com/8001 | 06:56 |
| auronandace | metulburr_: #ubuntu channel is hosted on freenode, i think that irc.ubuntu server should just forward to freenode | 06:57 |

| fivetwentysix | What do I do to correct that? | 07:23 |
| iceroot | fivetwentysix: /dev/sdc is the device | 07:23 |

| butterville | so far | 07:30 |
| iceroot | fivetwentysix: you can create an exact same partition layout on another drive and copy that to your drive but if you dont know the exact size of the partitions, there startlocation and so on i dont think you can do something | 07:31 |
| cyborg_ | ApocGoD: but even i got this error ,the apps are correctly installed | 07:31 |
| iceroot | fivetwentysix: always a good idea to have a backup | 07:31 |

| recentlydeceased | ActionParsnip, hmmm, ok, seems like a runaround to get this working! | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | recentlydeceased: the fstab file is processed before the network connects, so yes you have to work around that fact | 09:04 |

| recentlydeceased | ActionParsnip, easiest might be to just add a script to startup-apps to mount | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | recentlydeceased: possibly, if you add the noauto option it won't automount, but will be present so your mount command will simply be: sudo mount /mount/point | 09:06 |
| recentlydeceased | ActionParsnip, sweet, thanks for the tip! | 09:07 |

| _tasslehoff_ | I'm installing Ubuntu 64-bit on an SSD, using the alternate CD. The entire SSD will be encrypted. I also have a 1TB HDD that I want to encrypt, and have it mounted automatically on boot. How? | 09:09 |

| === louis_ is now known as Tianhong-wang | ||
| ActionParsnip | _tasslehoff_: what is the platter based storage going to be used for? I suggest you put swap, /home and /var on the platter based drive | 09:11 |
| _tasslehoff_ | ActionParsnip: the ssd is 240gb, the hdd 1tb. I work with embedded linux, and compile kernel+rootfs quite often. my initial thought was "everything on ssd and mount the hdd as /data and put what I don't think needs speed there" | 09:14 |
| _tasslehoff_ | My src will need to be on the ssd at least | 09:15 |
| === BM is now known as Guest44579 | ||
| ActionParsnip | _tasslehoff_: swap on the SSD isn't a great idea due to limited writes. /var holds guff like logs and debs from installs etc | 09:16 |
| _tasslehoff_ | and since this is my work pc, the src is pretty much all the data I will have. I bought the hdd as well in case I run out of space on the ssd :) | 09:16 |
| _tasslehoff_ | ActionParsnip: cool. I will heed thy advice | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | _tasslehoff_: you don't mount drives, you mount partitions | 09:16 |
| _tasslehoff_ | ActionParsnip: yeah, I'm a sloppy question-asker :) | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | _tasslehoff_: you could make it all one partition if you wanted and mount it as /data if you want. That's fine :). I'd use a little for system stuff, gets it off the SSD | 09:17 |
| _tasslehoff_ | ActionParsnip: systemstuff being the swap and var stuff you mentioned? | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | _tasslehoff_: yes | 09:17 |
| _tasslehoff_ | so I then create a separate partition for /var? | 09:18 |
| _tasslehoff_ | s/so/do/ | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | _tasslehoff_: sure, its part of the install process. Just use custom partitioning | 09:18 |
| _tasslehoff_ | ActionParsnip: since I have a 240GB SSD, I believe I can fit most of my data there. No reason not to put /home on SSD then? | 09:20 |
| _tasslehoff_ | what is the rule-of-thumb for choosing the size of swap? | 09:20 |
| bloodrye | _tasslehoff_: 250% of ram | 09:20 |
| _tasslehoff_ | bloodrye: no matter how much ram? I have 8gb atm. | 09:21 |
| bloodrye | you need to fit hybernation snapshot and some more data there | 09:21 |
| SunTsu | _tasslehoff_: Rule of thumb is: "Use as much swap as you need, and if you need any buy more ram" | 09:21 |
| intore___ | hi, i have a problem trying authenticate from my client ubuntu using ldap user credential registered in a ldap server on debian squeeze. someone could help me please? | 09:22 |

| arvind_khadri | !suspend | 09:22 |
| bloodrye | i'm fine off with 4GiB ram and like 6GiB swap | 09:23 |
| _tasslehoff_ | 12gb swap it is then, thanks | 09:23 |
| Nirkus | ActionParsnip: well swap on SSD is ok, as long as your swap is used for OS organizational stuff and hibernating only | 09:23 |
| Nirkus | ;) | 09:24 |
| arvind_khadri | Hi, how can I debug, why am I not able to suspend? The suspend log says it is done, but the screen freezes, with the power button still glowing and the only way I can get back is by rebooting. I am on 11.10 | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | _tasslehoff_: you could, depends if it needs speed. You could put some on the SSD and some on the platter based one. Things like browser web cache yuo could even put into tmpfs | 09:24 |
| bloodrye | arvind_khadri: to disk or to ram? | 09:25 |
| Nirkus | sorry, s/11.04/11.10/ hi! how do I keep my ubuntu (11.04) from switching the sound device, each time i connect my HDMI monitor? | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | _tasslehoff_: if you have enough RAM for your needs you can probably get away with no swap :P | 09:25 |
| arvind_khadri | bloodrye, Um I dont know to where it is suspending to. I am using the suspend button from GUI | 09:25 |
| bloodrye | arvind_khadri: there is sleep suspend and hybernate suspend | 09:26 |
| bloodrye | hybernate suspend aka suspend to disk may not work if swap is not configured properly, or if it is encrypted | 09:26 |
| arvind_khadri | bloodrye, I see, how about to disk? | 09:27 |

| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | epicure | 12:01 |
| ubottu | epicure: 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 | 12:01 |

| Attie | Mayazcherquoi: how are you trying to execute it? | 12:50 |
| Attie | unless the binary is in your PATH, you need to specify the entire path (relative or absolute) | 12:51 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Attie: I've tried via nautilus (double clicking), as-well as the terminal. | 12:51 |
| Attie | e.g: ./myapp | 12:51 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Yes. | 12:51 |
| Mayazcherquoi | I have done that. | 12:51 |
| Thor^^ | elijah: usually, when you install 3rd party apps, you put them in /opt | 12:51 |
| Attie | ok, what permissions does the file have/ | 12:51 |
| fl1bbl3 | how do you know its an executable file? | 12:51 |
| Attie | and owner/group info too pls | 12:52 |
| fl1bbl3 | Mayazcherquoi: whats the output from the following commands: | 12:52 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Attie: At the moment, owner:rw. I can't seem to change it at all though, not even via root ;-/ | 12:52 |
| fl1bbl3 | file <yourfile> | 12:52 |
| fl1bbl3 | head -n 1 <yourfile> | 12:52 |
| Mayazcherquoi | "ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped" | 12:52 |
| fl1bbl3 | latter assuming its a non-binary | 12:52 |
| fl1bbl3 | oops, which it is, so don't run head :) | 12:53 |
| Mayazcherquoi | What I just gave you was the output from your 'file' command. | 12:53 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Yep. | 12:53 |
| Attie | so 'chmod 700 ...' didnt work? | 12:53 |
| Attie | any error? | 12:53 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Attie: None at all. | 12:53 |
| Thor^^ | Mayazcherquoi: what happens if you run ./<yourfile>? | 12:53 |
| Attie | is the filesystem mounted with the noexec flag? | 12:54 |
| Attie | and what is the filesystem | 12:54 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Thor^^: Permission denied error. Although that is strange, since I tried running it under "sudo" with the same error. | 12:54 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Attie: It is an NTFS external HDD. | 12:54 |
| fl1bbl3 | yeah noexec sounding likely | 12:54 |
| fl1bbl3 | NTFS? | 12:54 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Wow, never knew that flag existed. | 12:54 |
| Attie | try copying it to an ext partition and try again | 12:54 |
| fl1bbl3 | ouch, yeah | 12:54 |
| Mayazcherquoi | I'll try moving it over to the local HDD :) | 12:55 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Thanks guys! :) | 12:55 |
| Attie | :) good plan | 12:55 |
| elijah | Thor^^: Much appreciated buddy, that jives with this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/1148/what-is-the-best-place-to-install-user-apps | 12:55 |
| fl1bbl3 | I still rely on FAT when I need to cohabit | 12:55 |
| Thor^^ | elijah: it's the usual aproach for all *nix enviroments to use /opt for non-standard aplications and libraries | 12:57 |
| Attie | Mayazcherquoi: if you want to keep the binary on your external, take a look at the ntfs mount flags, there is one to override the file mode, but be careful as it overrides all files | 12:57 |

| Thor^^ | elijah: are you installing using sudo? | 13:04 |
| Dj_FlyBy | LmAt: sudo service ssh restart | 13:04 |
| LmAt | Dj_FlyBy: brb | 13:04 |
| elijah | Thor^^: Hmm, no. I just ran the netbeans.sh from the desktop. I will try to launch it via sudo w/terminal | 13:04 |
| summershyn | FUCK | 13:05 |

| elijah | Thor^^: K, that is good to know. It wants to default to /usr/local, is that okay too? | 13:06 |
| Thor^^ | elijah: /usr/local is generally bad practice since it could collide with something installed from the repository later | 13:07 |

| === aaron_ is now known as LmAt | ||
| fidel | so in case you have enough space - everything should be ok | 13:13 |

| auronandace | l403: thats not enough, reread what you just wrote | 13:13 |
| fidel | 3,9 vs 4.5 | 13:13 |
| l403 | "For best results" | 13:14 |
| fidel | l403: my vote is - get more space if you use the default install medium | 13:14 |
| auronandace | l403: 4.5 is pretty low | 13:14 |
| fidel | or move to a server or alternate cd | 13:14 |

| l403 | this is a CD iso | 13:15 |

| Xeneth | I want to get some opinions. Mosh vs SSH | 13:37 |
| anto77 | ciao | 13:38 |
| fl1bbl3 | never seen an SSH pit.... | 13:38 |
| MonkeyDust | !poll| Xeneth | 13:38 |
| ubottu | Xeneth: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 13:38 |

| DemonWitch | hey | 13:38 |
| DemonWitch | How can i mount a bin/cue image in ubuntu? | 13:39 |
| fl1bbl3 | convert it to an iso, then mount -t iso9660 | 13:39 |
| DemonWitch | fl1bbl3: does the conversion always work? | 13:39 |
| DemonWitch | or do errors occur | 13:39 |
| Xeneth | fair enough | 13:40 |
| fl1bbl3 | generally works, but then its rare to have to do it at all | 13:40 |
| fl1bbl3 | so difficult to accumulate data | 13:40 |
| LmAt | Wow, screen sure is cool... | 13:43 |
| jrib | LmAt: now try tmux :) | 13:43 |
| SunTsu | Xeneth: you realize that mosh actually uses ssh as underlying protocol, over which ssp runs | 13:44 |
| MonkeyDust | try byobu, it's a 'shell' around screen, i can no onger miss it | 13:44 |
| chipotle_ | how do i install an alpha package? | 13:44 |
| MonkeyDust | longer* | 13:44 |
| chipotle_ | it's name 4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-4ubuntu2 | 13:44 |
| LmAt | jrib: Why? | 13:45 |
| jrib | LmAt: it's an alternative to screen. Try both and see what you like | 13:45 |
| mafaiboy | hi guys | 13:45 |
| LmAt | jrib: So screen can't show multiple terminals at the same time, but tmux can? Sounds like a simple choice to me :) | 13:46 |
| MonkeyDust | !screen | 13:46 |
| ubottu | screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 13:46 |
| chipotle_ | how do i upgrade to 12.04 LTS? | 13:46 |
| SunTsu | LmAt: of course you can split screen windows | 13:46 |
| MonkeyDust | chipotle_ easiest and fastest is a fresh install | 13:46 |
| jrib | chipotle_: 12.04 has not been released yet; it's still in beta | 13:46 |
| jrib | !12.04 | chipotle_ | 13:46 |
| ubottu | chipotle_: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 13:46 |
| Xeneth | SunTsu: nope. I came across it, and every time I have a chance to read about it, I get interupted. That is good to know though. :) | 13:47 |
| chipotle_ | it fixes my samba4 problem | 13:47 |
| chipotle_ | otherwise i can't install it :/ | 13:47 |
| chipotle_ | or is there some way to get this package on 11.10? 4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-4ubuntu2 | 13:47 |
| clifhanger_uk | Hello, Is Final Release of 12.04 still due for 26th? | 13:47 |
| LmAt | SunTsu: oh | 13:47 |
| SunTsu | Xeneth: the big advantage of mosh is that you can create a new ssh session and reconnect your mosh session - but I normally use screen for that purpose | 13:48 |
| MonkeyDust | Xeneth what SunTsu says, i do the same | 13:49 |
| LmAt | SunTsu: on the tmux wiki page, it says that a feature of tmux that differentiates it from GNU Screen is "free-form splitting of the virtual console in order to provide simultaneous access to several terminals within one session." | 13:49 |
| MonkeyDust | with byobu4 | 13:49 |
| SunTsu | LmAt: yeah, tmux can split multiple times, horizontally, vertically, while screen is not as flexible in that regard | 13:50 |
| SunTsu | still I find myself not usinfg split windows at all most of the time | 13:51 |
| anudaasa | helou, is runing in ubuntu ssh server in default ? | 13:51 |
| LmAt | SunTsu: But Screen can split once? Only horizontal or both? | 13:51 |
| craigbass1976 | chipotle_, sorry, I had customers. As far as I know, sudo apt-get install samba will get you the server on lucid. The link I pasted earlier will give you a wide open share after you've got the server installed | 13:51 |
| LmAt | SunTsu: I don't expect that I would split very often eithr. | 13:51 |
| Xeneth | SunTsu, MonkeyDust: Screen is one of those things I need to get into. I know of it, and looks promissing, but got busy and never learned to use it. | 13:51 |
| fl1bbl3 | screen is awesome :) | 13:52 |
| Shojo | does anyone know what the " -ma " argument does in windows cmd? | 13:52 |
| ChaMeLioN|2 | hello | 13:52 |
| SunTsu | LmAt: yes, screen can split once, thrice, horizontally, vertically, but it's not that easy. tmus i way nicer in that regard and more lightweight | 13:52 |
| fl1bbl3 | for several terminals in one session I would use clusterssh | 13:52 |
| SunTsu | tmux even | 13:52 |
| craigbass1976 | This might be a samba question, but I think it's more of an fstab question. http://pastebin.com/X1vcqr3c That's my smb.conf and relevant fstab line. I can do whatever I want on this share from a windows box, but not from the server itself. | 13:53 |
| MonkeyDust | Xeneth that's how flexible ubuntu is ;) | 13:53 |
| SunTsu | flippo: for doing the same stuff on multiple boxes I use the same | 13:53 |
| === ladder3 is now known as zz|ladder3|zz | ||
| LmAt | SunTsu: thanks. | 13:53 |
| SunTsu | er | 13:53 |
| SunTsu | fl1bbl3: for doing the same stuff on multiple boxes I use the same | 13:53 |
| SunTsu | the biggest drawback with tmux for me is that tmux always scales to the smallest shell connected to the same session, so connecting my mobile phone to watch onging work becomes a pita | 13:55 |

| gvo | probably 11.04 will be easiest. | 14:29 |
| dork | is there a known issue w/ adding yahoo buddies to pidgin 2.10.3 Lubuntu 12.04? | 14:29 |
| gvo | But it's possible you can't | 14:29 |
| websly | How usefull is it to know assembly? | 14:29 |
| bazhang | websly, thats out of scope for ubuntu support | 14:30 |
| crankharder | so the java install on my 11.10 install is completely borked. can't finish the install, can't remove it, can't use apt-get for anything else... thoughts? http://pastie.org/3816977 | 14:30 |
| websly | oh sorry | 14:30 |
| bazhang | dork, 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 | 14:30 |
| gvo | Sometimes if you try to upgrade the system will tell you that you need to upgrade your current version first, but since it's EOL you can't. | 14:30 |
| bazhang | gvo, sure he can | 14:31 |
| bazhang | gvo, thus the eolupgrades link | 14:31 |
| crankharder | sudo apt-get update | 14:31 |
| juraj | hey guys, I'm trying to install ubuntu to an old wincor-nixdorf POS system and it hangs on boot with some pretty graphical corruption | 14:32 |
| xufan | #openbrd | 14:33 |
| gvo | bazhang: Nice to know. I didn't know about that when I lost 6.04 | 14:33 |
| juraj | does anyone have some boot parameters I can try? i'm using ubuntu oneiric | 14:34 |
| bazhang | gvo you mean 6.06 ? | 14:34 |
| gvo | bazhang: RIght. | 14:34 |
| bazhang | !nomodeset | juraj | 14:34 |
| ubottu | juraj: 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 | 14:34 |
| gvo | bazhang: Been too long | 14:34 |
| bazhang | juraj, or try the alternate cd | 14:34 |
| bazhang | !alternate | juraj | 14:34 |
| ubottu | juraj: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 14:34 |
| eid | how can i see all videos on youtube ? | 14:34 |
| xufan | #openbrd | 14:34 |
| gvo | eid are you still on 12.04? | 14:35 |
| juraj | I installed it from wubi and it crashes even when booting into rescue mode | 14:35 |
| eid | yes :) | 14:35 |
| gvo | You're asking questions in the wrong channel. | 14:35 |
| bazhang | juraj, wubi? | 14:36 |
| ryannathans | Why is there an outdated apache2 in the repository? Like really ourdated. 11.10 ubuntu | 14:36 |
| bazhang | juraj, any error messages? | 14:36 |
| Pici | ryannathans: outdated how? | 14:36 |
| juraj | I just tried nomodeset, nope. | 14:37 |
| juraj | it hangs very quickly | 14:37 |
| eid | i asked it on ubuntu+1 but didn't receive answer sorry | 14:37 |
| bazhang | juraj, that was before you mentioned wubi | 14:37 |
| ryannathans | Pici: the latest is 2.2.20 in the repository and 2.4.2 is out. | 14:37 |
| bazhang | eid then be patient. thats where to ask | 14:37 |
| juraj | so I can't read the messages | 14:37 |
| ryannathans | Pici: I just got pwned by someone exploiting something fixed in a new version. | 14:37 |
| Pici | ryannathans: 2.4 is a different branch than 2.2. And 2.4 won't even be in 12.04 | 14:38 |
| gvo | juraj If Wubi fails to start, boot into Windows, run chkdsk /r from Windows on the same drive where you installed Ubuntu, shutdown cleanly and then try to boot into Ubuntu again. | 14:38 |
| ryannathans | Pici: what about 2.2.22? | 14:38 |
| Pici | ryannathans: That is in 12.04 right now. | 14:38 |
| ryannathans | Pici: why doesn't 11.10 recive updated anymore? It's the latest stable. | 14:38 |
| Pici | ryannathans: And we usually backport security patches. Do you have a CVE or similar for the exploit that you encountered? | 14:38 |
| juraj | I don't think the problem is in wubi | 14:39 |
| Pici | ryannathans: well, technically not backports, they land in the -security repos. | 14:39 |
| juraj | the system doesn't have a CD unit so wubi was the easiest thing to do | 14:39 |
| gvo | juraj How do you know? | 14:39 |
| ryannathans | Pici: I really don't want to compile from source and install as it'll interfere with aptitude and it'll cause hell. I wish to share details about the exploit but security team is still investigating. | 14:40 |
| juraj | I have a feeling that would happen if I tried to boot it from cd too. | 14:40 |
| gotmilk | how register a nickname at a special channel | 14:40 |
| gotmilk | ? | 14:40 |
| Pici | !register | gotmilk | 14:40 |
| ubottu | gotmilk: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 14:40 |
| bazhang | gotmilk, /join #freenode for help as I said earlier | 14:40 |
| StevenCodes | Could I unzip a file from a Ubuntu server on windows using Filezilla ? | 14:40 |
| meganerd | StevenCodes: probably | 14:41 |
| gotmilk | i can't send mesage at bt-linux | 14:41 |
| Pici | ryannathans: Well, security fixes are always applied to releases that are still supported, and 11.10 still is. | 14:41 |
| Pici | gotmilk: you need to ask for registration help in #freenode, not here. | 14:41 |
| StevenCodes | meganerd, Command ? | 14:41 |
| bazhang | gotmilk, /join #freenode and register | 14:41 |
| ryannathans | Pici: why isn't the latest in the repoitory then? | 14:41 |
| meganerd | StevenCodes: do you want to zip it? | 14:41 |
| juraj | it would be helpful if I could slow it down so I can read kernel messages | 14:42 |
| meganerd | StevenCodes: I use 7zip on Windows and Ubuntu as it pretty much can uncompress anything | 14:42 |
| Pici | ryannathans: because patches for security updates are applied, which don't necessarily require a version upgrade. | 14:42 |
| meganerd | ryannathans: security patches are backported which is why you need to look beyond mere version numbers | 14:42 |
| ryannathans | Hmm. Okay, i'll believe you. :) | 14:42 |
| meganerd | ryannathans: this is no different than Debian | 14:42 |
| ryannathans | Thanks guys | 14:43 |
| StevenCodes | meganerd, Thing is this ain't my server and I don't have SSH just FTP and trying to unzip my site but net2ftp said it was too big to unzip so im thinking thats in php.ini is there another way i can trasnfer | 14:43 |
| gvo | juraj what's the last thing displayed? | 14:43 |
| juraj | I will try to get a cap before it fades | 14:43 |
| gvo | StevenCodes break it into smaller zip files. | 14:43 |
| meganerd | StevenCodes: so you have a tar.bz that you want to unzip? | 14:43 |
| StevenCodes | meganerd, nah but its reg zip but I can make it tar.bz | 14:43 |
| meganerd | StevenCodes: it doesn't matter, where is this zip file (remote or local to your machine | 14:44 |
| gvo | juraj edit the grub command line and remove the "quiet" parameter. | 14:44 |
| juraj | BTW if it responds to sysrq commands does it mean it's graphics only? | 14:44 |
| juraj | yeah I'm already doing that, and trying to boot into single user | 14:45 |
| fl1bbl3 | StevenCodes: pity you don't have linux at the other side, then its a simple lftp mirror command :) | 14:45 |
| juraj | but it really quickly fades into brownish colors | 14:45 |
| juraj | actually a really nice picture, kinda looks like past ubuntu backgrounds | 14:45 |
| StevenCodes | fl1bbl3, Moving wordpress is a bitch this day has been screaming get linux back lol | 14:45 |
| gvo | juraj take a video? | 14:45 |
| StevenCodes | meganerd, Desktop | 14:46 |
| StevenCodes | and on The server | 14:46 |
| fl1bbl3 | StevenCodes: maybe cygwin and lftp? | 14:46 |
| meganerd | StevenCodes: on windows I use winscp to download, and 7zip to uncompress | 14:47 |
| juraj | ok, video coming soon. | 14:47 |
| StevenCodes | fl1bbl3, Your name is hard to auto type lol | 14:47 |
| StevenCodes | meganerd, I'm trying to uncompress it onto the server though | 14:47 |
| StevenCodes | and my internet sucks | 14:47 |
| StevenCodes | and file is huge | 14:47 |
| meganerd | StevenCodes: and you do not have shell access? | 14:48 |
| meganerd | StevenCodes: so no ssh or telnet? | 14:48 |
| StevenCodes | meganerd, Nopes | 14:48 |
| gvo | StevenCodes: so what's wrong with breaking it into smaller pieces? | 14:48 |
| StevenCodes | Host is a dick | 14:48 |
| meganerd | StevenCodes: so that is kind of your problem right there | 14:48 |
| StevenCodes | gvo, Never needed to so guess didn't think about it how would I go about that ? | 14:48 |
| Pici | StevenCodes: So what does this have to do with Ubuntu? | 14:48 |
| StevenCodes | meganerd, I'm coincidently migrating to new host | 14:48 |
| gvo | StevenCodes: Unzip it locally the zip smaller chunks/ | 14:49 |
| StevenCodes | Pici, original question " command to unzip on ubuntu, basically " | 14:49 |
| gvo | the==then | 14:49 |
| saro | hi | 14:49 |
| StevenCodes | hmm think i'm gonna have to good idea :) | 14:49 |
| meganerd | StevenCodes: I didn't think that ftp supports that sort of transaction, I could be wrong as I have not used ftp in close to a decade. The webhost I use allows ssh and sftp/scp | 14:50 |
| crankharder | how do I fix this: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 14:50 |
| crankharder | there a way to look at all packages installed and verify they have their deps installed? | 14:50 |
| StevenCodes | meganerd, Yeah too young to pay gonna use 000webhost till I can get a paid one | 14:50 |
| crankharder | i've apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade ; apt-get dist-upgrdade << finishes successfuly | 14:50 |
| crankharder | but i can't install mysql-server | 14:51 |
| crankharder | or libxml2-dev | 14:51 |
| gvo | crankharder: sudo apt-get clean | 14:51 |
| gvo | crankharder: then an update | 14:51 |
| crankharder | returns immediately? | 14:51 |
| Ryan___ | Hello | 14:51 |
| juraj | here's the video of the hang: http://www.mediafire.com/?la575qkaigsil6c | 14:52 |
| Pici | crankharder: Can you do sudo apt-get install -f and pastebin any errors you get. | 14:52 |
| gvo | crankharder: Bring up synaptic and do an Edit>Fix broken packages | 14:52 |
| fl1bbl3 | StevenCodes: trust me, install cygwin then install lftp | 14:52 |
| crankharder | sudo apt-get install http://pastie.org/3817097 -- using ubuntu server, no synaptic | 14:52 |
| fl1bbl3 | then use mirror command | 14:52 |
| crankharder | Pici: http://pastie.org/3817106 | 14:53 |
| StevenCodes | fl1bbl3 cgywin sucks but ill give it a go | 14:54 |
| Pici | crankharder: What does lsb_release -sc say? | 14:54 |
| juraj | I can reset it with sysrq-reisub. does that mean that it's a graphics only issue? | 14:54 |
| Pussee8er | hi all | 14:54 |
| Pussee8er | i'm new here | 14:54 |
| fidel | hi | 14:54 |
| Dj_FlyBy | well it is doing the upgrade now to 11.04 so lets hope it goes smoothly | 14:55 |
| crankharder | Pici: oneiric | 14:55 |
| Pici | crankharder: And yet you have all lucid repositories in your sources.list. | 14:55 |
| Pussee8er | has anyone attend course in pentest? | 14:55 |
| bazhang | Pussee8er, thats offtopic here | 14:55 |
| Pussee8er | owh really? sorry about it | 14:56 |
| juraj | gvo did you take a look? | 14:56 |
| Benkinooby | !pentest | 14:56 |
| Pussee8er | just want toknow actually | 14:56 |
| Pici | crankharder: I don't really know what happened to your install, but it sounds like you either upgraded to 11.10 and then modified your sources.list, or did some weird freaky update to 10.04. | 14:56 |
| gvo | juraj I can't play .mov, don't have the codec. I'm looking for it. | 14:57 |
| crankharder | Pici: :/ not sure how it got that way | 14:57 |
| juraj | sorry, I'll upload a picture, don't bother | 14:57 |
| gvo | juraj what version of Ubuntu? | 14:57 |
| crankharder | Pici: http://pastie.org/3817131 tried s/lucid/oneric/ but am getting errors updating -- know what it should be? | 14:57 |
| venon | Hey , how can i install xhydra gtk ? pls | 14:58 |
| Pici | crankharder: 'oneiric' | 14:58 |
| crankharder | er, yea :/ | 14:58 |
| crankharder | Pici: thanks for catching that | 14:58 |
| juraj | here's a picture http://imgur.com/CcNR9 | 14:59 |
| deathtech | 5 more days till latest LTS ! you guys excited ? | 14:59 |
| gvo | juraj I found itl | 14:59 |
| bazhang | !12.04 | deathtech | 14:59 |
| ubottu | deathtech: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 14:59 |
| gvo | juraj so what version of Ubuntu? | 14:59 |
| juraj | oneiric | 15:00 |
| gvo | Hm Nothing in that output that looks strange. | 15:00 |
| venon | knows anyone some network logon cracker ? | 15:00 |
| gvo | venon what's that got to do with Ubuntu? | 15:01 |
| wylde | venon: not the place for that. | 15:01 |
| deathtech | lo, @venon , you need to head to a pentesting channel | 15:01 |
| venon | gvo for ubuntu :) | 15:01 |
| SunTsu | venon: yes, now go somewhere else, please, where that's on-topic | 15:01 |
| venon | deathtech pentesting ? | 15:02 |
| gvo | juraj does this system have a USB port? | 15:02 |
| juraj | yes | 15:02 |
| gvo | Burn a usb drive with Ubuntu. | 15:03 |
| gvo | Boot from it. | 15:03 |
| markgifford | do any ubuntu media players have a Songkick plugin? | 15:03 |
| eid | no help from ubuntu+1 | 15:03 |
| Pussee8er | can i know what kind of irc software best for ubuntu? | 15:03 |
| eid | :( | 15:03 |
| gvo | Pussee8er: Chatzilla works | 15:03 |
| nuc | hello | 15:04 |
| markgifford | Pussee8er: I use xchat, but not sure if it's best. works for me | 15:04 |
| gvo | eid install 11.10 and we'll be glad to help. | 15:04 |
| Pussee8er | i'm using xchat.. but i can't see anybody in channel | 15:04 |
| area51pilot | Pussee8er: xchat here | 15:04 |
| StevenCodes | gvo, Is it fast running off usb if you knw ? | 15:05 |
| nuc | why I can't open Bluetooth in ubuntu ,but must switch to windows to do open/close Bluetooth? | 15:05 |
| gvo | StevenCodes: No not very | 15:05 |
| cwi | Pussee8er: was using pidgin, until today, i'm trying smuxi | 15:05 |
| Pici | !best | 15:05 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:05 |
| gvo | StevenCodes: It probably will be at usb version 3. | 15:05 |
| MonkeyDust | nuc install blueman | 15:06 |
| xufan | #openbrd | 15:06 |
| StevenCodes | gvo, What setup would you reccomend ? OS etc.. | 15:06 |
| max978 | greetings everyone | 15:06 |
| gvo | StevenCodes: for what? | 15:06 |
| StevenCodes | gvo, A good linux OS and stuff | 15:06 |
| Pussee8er | ok thanks.. | 15:07 |
| Pussee8er | exit | 15:07 |
| markgifford | cwi: smuxi's good, especially if you have a server to install it on. it stays logged into your IRC servers. then you use the smuxi client to log in via your server and have the same settings nomatter which machine you're on | 15:07 |
| gvo | StevenCodes: That's a bit like "how long is a piec of string?" | 15:07 |
| max978 | Any body up for an Ubuntu printer issue question? | 15:07 |
| bazhang | max978, which printer | 15:07 |
| gvo | StevenCodes: PM? | 15:07 |
| max978 | KX-MB781 | 15:07 |
| StevenCodes | gvo, Shoot | 15:07 |
| max978 | by Panasonic | 15:08 |
| deathtech | So I have a question. I am currently SSH'ing into a machine, (running 11.10 on both sides) and I can launch X programs on my remote box and display them. However, I want to be able to launch chromium on my side, and when i click a torrent, have it open up on the remote GUI running transmission. Is this possible ? | 15:08 |
| bazhang | max978, what does linuxprinting.org database have to say about that printer | 15:08 |
| === zaba_ is now known as Guest40501 | ||
| Frank2012 | connect ssh -X user@host | 15:08 |
| cwi | markgifford: i'm just using it as a client :) not an expert here | 15:08 |
| bazhang | deathtech, why not consider rtorrent in that scenario | 15:08 |
| max978 | is that OpenPrining? | 15:08 |
| max978 | sorry OpenPrinting | 15:09 |
| kikk | ok? | 15:09 |
| bazhang | max978, did you check the db there? | 15:09 |
| bazhang | max978, from the link I just gave you? | 15:09 |
| deathtech | bazhang, mostly because I use torrent fu from my mobile phone to remotely send torrents to the server, and i dont think that rtorrent supports that | 15:09 |
| max978 | I've check OpenPrinting and it's not listed there | 15:09 |
| bazhang | deathtech, i'd suggest rtorrent merits another look | 15:10 |
| deathtech | bazhang , alright, will do, as long as it supports a webui of some type , it may be possible | 15:10 |
| bazhang | deathtech, rtorrent is command line | 15:11 |
| max978 | so assuming the printer I have isn't listed at OpenPrinting, what are my options for printing aside from buying a new printer or creating a vm of windows on Ubuntu just for printing | 15:11 |
| KeSu | hi | 15:12 |
| bazhang | max978, printer sharing inside a lan? | 15:12 |
| kbitz | max978, what kind of printer is it? | 15:12 |
| deathtech | bazhang, yes, i have used it ages ago. I need the webui interface to be able to use my phone to send torrents to it, and manage them remotely. | 15:12 |
| max978 | it's a Panasonic KX-MB781 | 15:12 |
| max978 | laser | 15:12 |
| bazhang | max978, you just gave a number not the brand | 15:12 |
| venon | need channel where someone help me with installing hydra , help | 15:13 |
| deathtech | bazhang, I was thinking about maybe using deluge with its daemon | 15:13 |
| KeSu | i am a new ubuntu user and have a question: how can i create a new user and change the home directory of vsftpd? | 15:13 |
| KeSu | i am a new ubuntu user and have a question: how can i create a new user and change the home directory of vsftpd? | 15:13 |
| max978 | bazhang: its a panasonic | 15:13 |
| deathtech | KeSu , Thise are two different questions. 1.) adduser *name *group 2.) vsftpd.conf | 15:14 |
| eid | gvo which is better ubuntu or debian ? | 15:14 |
| eid | :) | 15:14 |
| deathtech | eid, preference. depends on what you like. | 15:14 |
| KeSu | sorry, but i mean how to add a user in vsftpd... | 15:15 |
| Sp][nE | when comparing ubuntu to debian it really boils down to skill level... | 15:15 |
| bazhang | !ot | eid | 15:15 |
| ubottu | eid: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:15 |
| max978 | so I guess I can't use my Panasonic KX-MB781 printer with Ubuntu? | 15:16 |
| deathtech | eid, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+add+a+user+in+vsftpd | 15:16 |
| kbitz | max978, did you try using the generic GDI Driver? | 15:16 |
| Sp][nE | i dont care how preety you make it, ubuntu is debian for noobs | 15:16 |
| max978 | you mean the driver Ubuntu recommends initially? | 15:16 |
| bazhang | deathtech, never use that here. it's insulting | 15:16 |
| kbitz | didn't know it did that, sorry | 15:16 |
| deathtech | bazhang, sorry. did not mean to offend. | 15:17 |
| max978 | so it finds my networked Panasonic printer and then asks me to select a PPD file from the db. It recommends I select the Generic one | 15:18 |
| max978 | so I do that | 15:18 |
| max978 | the next choice is models | 15:19 |
| Lint | why ubuntu sees file owner 500, but other distro 1000? | 15:19 |
| max978 | I selected "text-only" which is what it recommends | 15:19 |
| max978 | but if I do, it will throw an error upon doing a test print | 15:19 |
| v0lksman | what is the most lightweight simple desktop env I can run? | 15:19 |
| MonkeyDust | v0lksman jwm | 15:20 |
| v0lksman | basically need something I can run to load virtualbox interface occasionally | 15:20 |
| dwescott | Lint, the only way that would happen is if you were using ntfs of fat and the uid was specified in the mount point | 15:20 |
| v0lksman | MonkeyDust: java? really? | 15:20 |
| shomon | hi, how do I tell if a port is open or not on my computer? | 15:20 |
| Lint | dwescott, nope, it´s ext3 | 15:20 |
| auronandace | v0lksman: jwm = joes window manager | 15:20 |
| v0lksman | nope...Joe's! | 15:20 |
| MonkeyDust | v0lksman thats not java | 15:20 |
| v0lksman | hahaha | 15:20 |
| Lint | shomon, there are some web services which scan ports | 15:20 |
| === AlanChicken is now known as AlanBell | ||
| deathtech | shoman - check out lsof as well, can show you what services are using what ports | 15:21 |
| dwescott | Lint, you would have to paste exactly what you are seeing | 15:21 |
| shomon | Lint, maybe sshing to that port? | 15:21 |
| gvo | shomon: netstat -nat gives you some info too. | 15:21 |
| deathtech | is there an ubuntu equivelent to the RHCE degree ? | 15:21 |
| kbitz | max978, not a great solution, but you could plug it into a windows appliance and have it share it on the network | 15:21 |
| shomon | so from the machine I can see with netstat -nat | 15:21 |
| luddi87 | hallo zusammen | 15:22 |
| v0lksman | MonkeyDust: is there a package or is it compile only? | 15:22 |
| Lint | lol it´s simply ¨500 500¨ | 15:22 |
| kbitz | if it's a network printer then the windows appliance wouldn't even have to be directly connected, just on the same network | 15:22 |
| Lint | both of my accounts have 1000, I checked | 15:22 |
| max978 | kbiltz: hmmm not sure what you mean by that ... could you expand on that idea for me a little more | 15:23 |
| MonkeyDust | v0lksman it's in the repos, i use it sometimes for quick remote ssh connections | 15:23 |
| dk_ | hi | 15:23 |
| gvo | shomon: if you want to see udb also, netstat -natu | 15:23 |
| eid | deathtech what is vsftpd | 15:23 |
| gvo | udp | 15:23 |
| dwescott | Lint, what you aren't understanding is that the uid is the only thing saved in the fs. and "joe" on one machine can be 1000 and on another 500. you have to be careful when sharing drives that everyone has the same uid | 15:24 |
| shomon | thanks Lint and deathtech that's helping | 15:24 |
| kbitz | max978, like if you have a computer (windows, linux, whatever) that can print to that printer, it can just use the folder/printer sharing feature that's in Samba/Windows to let you print from any computer on the network | 15:24 |
| v0lksman | MonkeyDust: awesome...thanks...sounds perfect | 15:24 |
| kbitz | for instance, if a windows computer on your network can print to it, you can go to that and right click on the printer and hit 'sharing' and then share it | 15:24 |
| Lint | I´m always creating my account with uid 1000, as I said it is the same for both machines | 15:24 |
| deathtech | eid , its a fairly easy to use ftp server that you can install with minimal configuration direct form ubuntu repositories | 15:24 |
| kbitz | then Ubuntu prints to that shared printer through the windows box | 15:24 |
| Lint | *copies | 15:25 |
| max978 | kblitz: awesome idea! | 15:25 |
| Lint | but other distro works fine, ubuntu has access problems | 15:25 |
| max978 | I will try it | 15:25 |
| deathtech | max978 , does that printer support tcp/ip configuration / | 15:25 |
| deathtech | max978 - if so, you could network it and use a generic driver | 15:26 |
| deathtech | max978 - negating the use of a second box | 15:26 |
| dwescott | Lint, if it is showing 500 its because 500 owns the file. if another os shows the same file as "john doe" then john doe is 500 on that system | 15:26 |
| max978 | deathtech: it is currently networked | 15:26 |
| deathtech | shomon - Great ! Glad I could help. you can do some pretty neat stuff with lsof :) you should check the man pages or google for some nice scripts. I think hak5 did a nice segment on it as well | 15:26 |
| max978 | Ubuntu can find the printer via it's IP address on my network | 15:27 |
| Lint | dwescott, it is 1000 in other OS, too | 15:27 |
| deathtech | max978- sorry came in on the tail end of the question, dont let it search , im not sure but can you enter the port manually ? | 15:27 |
| deathtech | max978 - can you ping its IP address from the cli ? | 15:28 |
| max978 | let me try | 15:28 |
| deathtech | shomon - http://hak5.org/tag/lsof | 15:29 |

| area51pilot | drvanon: network wizard from??? XP? | 15:43 |
| drvanon | area51pilot, indeed | 15:44 |
| area51pilot | ok | 15:44 |

| mlrenard | hm. | 15:44 |
| drvanon | area51pilot, how would i give him those permissions | 15:44 |
| Pici | mlrenard: fglrx are the proprietary drivers. | 15:45 |
| mlrenard | This is weird, I'm having the same glitches as if the free ones were in use | 15:46 |
| Baribal | (On an unrelated note: Proprietary GFX drivers killed dual-monitor for me.) | 15:46 |
| luddi87 | guten tag | 15:46 |
| mlrenard | (Related note: only the proprietary drivers works to enable three heads for me) | 15:47 |
| dwescott | mlrenard, you should verify that open gl is working | 15:47 |

| mlrenard | XBMC is fine and doesn't drop frames, but the video is blurry | 15:47 |

| JosephHarrietha | In reality, that is a logic that should have died when computers started getting 1Gb of ram | 16:43 |
| finnguy | JosephHarrietha: alright, it's probably 8gb then? | 16:43 |
| fishcooker | 8 gb | 16:43 |
| fishcooker | more than sufficient | 16:43 |
| finnguy | JosephHarrietha: i have 4gb ram | 16:43 |
| JosephHarrietha | fishcooker, I said the installer does that. He didn't make his own. | 16:43 |
| dwescott | finnguy, the main constraint is if you want to hibernate you have to be able to fit the ram onto the swap | 16:43 |
| fishcooker | you're rite dwescott | 16:43 |
| JosephHarrietha | Guys. HE DIDN'T MAKE IT. He isn't looking for advice on making swap. | 16:43 |
| fishcooker | the limitation on hibernate option | 16:43 |
| fishcooker | 2 gig would be enough | 16:44 |
| fishcooker | :D | 16:44 |
| JosephHarrietha | -_-. | 16:44 |
| fishcooker | @@ | 16:44 |
| finnguy | yes, i'm just asking if it's normal for it swipe swap space for 2+ hours and still going | 16:44 |
| * JosephHarrietha slaps fishcooker and dwescoot for not reading. | 16:44 | |
| fishcooker | aw... aw.. aw | 16:44 |
| JosephHarrietha | finnguy, Meh... could be. I'd be having doubts too though. What % is it at? | 16:44 |
| finnguy | 22%, been there for that whole time | 16:45 |
| JosephHarrietha | finnguy, ... Yea. Something broke. Or maybe /dev/random is just run dry. | 16:45 |
| JosephHarrietha | Either way... not good. | 16:45 |
| finnguy | alright, i will start whole thing over | 16:46 |
| JosephHarrietha | This is why I just didn't make a swap partition and used a swapfile instead. | 16:46 |
| maheanuu | IaOra everyone, man am I having hard times trying to get anything to download and install I keep getting hash file errors on almost everything | 16:46 |
| JosephHarrietha | Look up how to make a swap file, if you have an encrypted root its even more secure than having a seperate encrypted swap. | 16:46 |
| finnguy | alright, thank you for help | 16:47 |
| JosephHarrietha | finnguy, No problem :D. | 16:47 |
| fishcooker | you're welcome finnguy | 16:47 |

| josefnpat | I am running ubuntu 11.04 and I saw this security advisory: http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20120419.txt `openssl version` reports OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010 | 18:00 |

| BarkingFish | JosephHarrietha, you specified you were on ubuntu 12.04 when you asked in the other channel - I came here and saw the question in this channel too, which is cross posting, right? I don't know whether our rules permit what you suggested or not - but I am not self entitled. Next time I'll let an op warn you instead. | 18:02 |
| JosephHarrietha | BarkingFish, That is correct. I am currently booted into 12.04. Would you like me to reboot into 10.10 so I can repeat my question, same problem, but be on a different version of the OS? | 18:03 |
| eightiesk | how do i restart x? | 18:03 |
| ceegee | hello there | 18:03 |

| maheanuu | Just downloaded all the Upgrades and had another bunch of hash code errors I would appreciate it if someone might look at these and tell me why I cannot download without errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/937211/ | 18:10 |
| acicula | autreyjm_: try rephrasing your question, its not very clear what you need help with | 18:10 |
| acicula | maheanuu: it means that the downloaded packages are corrupt, or at least the installer thinks so | 18:11 |
| maheanuu | acicula, I know, what I need to know is how to correct this | 18:12 |
| acicula | maheanuu: try running apt-get clean and then update again, could just be a connectivity issue | 18:13 |
| acicula | maheanuu: or try switching to a local mirror other then the generic ubuntu one | 18:13 |
| acicula | you can do that in software sources located in one of the menus of the software manager | 18:14 |

| v0lksman | what packages should I require on a server install to run an x desktop? | 18:22 |
| ppseafield | trism: Thanks! | 18:22 |
| acicula | v0lksman: the same as on a normal desktop | 18:22 |
| v0lksman | acicula: which are? | 18:22 |
| acicula | v0lksman: ubuntu-desktop installs the packages that make up the ubuntu desktop environment | 18:23 |
| v0lksman | acicula: which will also install openoffice and tons of other BS...I just need x11 and a GUI desktop | 18:23 |
| acicula | v0lksman: the ubuntu-desktop package even | 18:24 |
| acicula | v0lksman: then you will need to select individual packages | 18:24 |
| finnguy | not sure if this belongs here, but Im interestend trying debian. Which is good for a regular home computer, stable or testing? | 18:24 |
| v0lksman | acicula: right...so back to my original question.... | 18:24 |
| finnguy | stable maybe? | 18:24 |
| acicula | finnguy: testing i guess, but there is #debian here on freenode that can probably tell you | 18:24 |
| finnguy | alrigth | 18:24 |
| acicula | v0lksman: the xservers package is called xorg-server | 18:25 |

| v0lksman | acicula: yep...installed. need more | 18:26 |

| v0lksman | acicula: more like that's not the only package you need to run a GUI | 18:26 |
| acicula | ZenMaster: best to just ask the question you want to ask instead, or try the #mysql or similar channels | 18:28 |

| autojack | can anyone comment on whether it's significantly faster to install ~35 packages by doing one "apt-get install" versus running it 35 times? it appears that apt *doesn't* do the installation in parallel if you request >1 package, which makes sense. | 18:39 |
| wylde | !precise | yohann | 18:39 |

| acicula | autojack: apt-get does not install in parralel, doing them all at once is still faster | 18:39 |
| autojack | acicula: OK. where does the speedup come from? just overhead to set up the apt process each time? | 18:40 |
| yohann | yeah i know so can u help me with the terminal problem every line has onyl $ sign , there is no username@hostname:$, no auto complete on tab press , no previous command when i press up key | 18:40 |

| apwbdjp | yohann, Alright.. you're not on bash.. and you don't seem to HAVE bash.. | 18:43 |
| lapion | yohann, try /bin/bash | 18:43 |
| yohann | not found | 18:43 |
| lapion | apwbdjp, maybe he doesn't have path | 18:43 |
| lapion | maybe it's grub prompt.. | 18:43 |
| newbie|3 | yeah sounds like it | 18:43 |
| lapion | or initrd prompt | 18:43 |
| apwbdjp | lapion, No, it said -sh: bash not found | 18:44 |
| yohann | yup -sh was there | 18:44 |
| newbie|3 | try /bin/sh | 18:44 |
| newbie|3 | if it works then you are probably in grub | 18:44 |

| yohann | so yeah it worked | 18:48 |
| apwbdjp | yohann, I wonder how you managed to delete bash ^^ | 18:48 |
| yohann | i dont know what actually happened but i tried install sun jdk 6 or something | 18:48 |
| lapion | apwbdjp, he did not delete bash he has no PATH to bash | 18:48 |
| lapion | yohann, do /bin/df | 18:49 |
| yohann | and theres a ca-certificates thing which gave me an error so terminal told me to fix dpkg and do a sudo apt-get -f install also | 18:49 |
| apwbdjp | lapion, he typed /bin/bash and it didn't work until he did apt-get install bash, which downloaded bash and installed it | 18:49 |
| lapion | yohann, your root partition is probably full | 18:49 |

| apwbdjp | danith, gksu synaptic | 19:06 |
| frustrateduser | apwbdjp it doesnt say the filename it just says type is application/x-trash | 19:06 |
| apwbdjp | frustrateduser, if you try to save it it will suggest you a name which should be the filename | 19:06 |

| danith | what do I use in apt-get to upgrade the kernel? | 19:07 |
| frustrateduser | apwbdjp had the same thing with wordpress so i figured it was server problem | 19:07 |
| dljh | -r isn't a flag... | 19:08 |
| dljh | -R? | 19:08 |
| dljh | chmod -R 700 /media/data | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | danith: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:08 |
| dljh | The permissions for the folder is still the same | 19:08 |
| frustrateduser | -r is an option that allows recursive behaivor when using cp, mv, rm etc dijh | 19:09 |
| danith | thanks | 19:09 |
| ActionParsnip | dljh: is it an ntfs partition? | 19:09 |
| frustrateduser | im not sure then dijh ive never come accross that | 19:09 |
| dljh | frustrateduser : yes, -R for chmod | 19:09 |
| dljh | ActionParsnip : indeed | 19:09 |
| magiknapkin | How much disk space do you guys normally give to your root partition? | 19:10 |
| dljh | ActionParsnip : declare when mount in fstab? | 19:10 |
| frustrateduser | dijh only thing i can think of is the system doesnt have ntfs-3g installed so it cant change the file permissions | 19:10 |
| anth0ny | How do I find out where apt-get installed a package? | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Dljh: you'll need to set the options at mount. Ntfs cannot hold Linux permissions | 19:11 |
| apwbdjp | frustrateduser, did you use the install.php installer? | 19:11 |
| magiknapkin | Mine has 6.5GiB and I keep getting warned that the amount of space left is really low. | 19:11 |
| frustrateduser | apwbdjp yep went through the install proccess no problem | 19:11 |
| frustrateduser | apwbdjp had to type /install.php though | 19:11 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, ntfs-3g translates unix permissions to ntfs permissions | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | anth0ny: you could use packages.ubuntu.com or apt-file | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: maybe but you can't change them once mounted | 19:12 |
| apwbdjp | frustrateduser, check out on /var/www if you have nothing else with index.htm name, maybe that's where apache sends you | 19:12 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, if ntfs is mounted rw | 19:13 |

| dljh | ActionParsnip : That's what I thought, thank you :) | 19:15 |
| anth0ny | ActionParsnip, well, I'm installing a program that asks me to tell it where other packages are located, I'm not really sure where they are | 19:15 |
| wylde | mads-: #ubuntu-dev maybe? | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | mads-: or you can use ruby or love. Python is well documented too :-) | 19:16 |
| lapion | to delete files that are not deleteable on ntfs-3 just overwrite the file with "echo > /path/to/file/filename" | 19:16 |
| mads- | ActionParsnip, I just rather use C++. I don't really know the other languages | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | anth0ny: could use the locate command | 19:17 |
| anth0ny | ActionParsnip, ah, that works well, thanks | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mads-: then I'd ask in #c++ | 19:17 |
| dljh | ActionParsnip : So, is it possible to mount my data partition to /media/data, and have a directory within /media/data/differentpermissions have different permissions than the rest of the directories? | 19:17 |

| zykotick9 | spartan2276: can you be a bit more specific? just install them. FYI using "linux32 foo" manually says run program foo as 32bit. | 20:10 |
| spartan2276 | linux32? is this something I can install through synaptic | 20:11 |
| Robson92 | hi! how to remove something that doesn't exist :D ? locate rtorrent shows me some directories and files but they aren't there | 20:11 |
| nhodges | zykotick9: looks like i have a xorg.conf.d directory, has 4 confs in it dunno if it's using one or all of them | 20:12 |
| nhodges | /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d | 20:12 |
| jrib | Robson92: sudo updatedb | 20:12 |
| spartan2276 | I actually have this installed ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 | 20:12 |
| meganerd | spartan2276: you probably already have this installed, if not check with packages.ubuntu.com to find the package you need to install | 20:12 |
| Robson92 | jrib: thanks | 20:13 |
| carli2 | hi | 20:13 |
| spartan2276 | but the app that I'm trying to install wont install "heimdall-frontend_1.3.1_i386.deb" | 20:13 |
| Optichip | hi carli2 | 20:13 |
| spartan2276 | then all it says is "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386' | 20:14 |
| josefnpat | spartan2276, can you build from source? | 20:14 |
| spartan2276 | yeah that is a bit out of my league there | 20:14 |
| Robson92 | and another problem, I've removed all files from rtorrent (previously compiled from source) and now I would like to install it from repositories, but after that I can't start rtorrent | 20:15 |
| dlentz | spartan2276, what are you trying to build (sorry, just came in channel) | 20:15 |
| spartan2276 | josefnpat, do you mean like a .tar file | 20:15 |

| josefnpat | spartan2276, to start out with | 20:15 |
| meganerd | spartan2276: what exactly do you want from that package? | 20:16 |
| iku-iku | hi, when i try the following "/home/iku-iku# adduser --no-create-home iku-iku" i get "bash: /home/quynh#: no such file or directory" | 20:16 |
| josefnpat | spartan2276, "NOT AVAILABLE YET – Please compile from source." | 20:17 |
| x-bryan_g-x | Nothing from /dev/video1 or /dev/video2 :\ | 20:17 |
| josefnpat | spartan2276, need help compiling? | 20:17 |
| zykotick9 | spartan2276: i can't find my notes on the subject (or it referenced in "man dpkg") BUT there is a dpkg command line/similar to: "dpkg --force-architecture -i foo.deb" but i'm only 75% confident ;) | 20:17 |
| VivaConAgua | iku-iku, do you run that with sudo? | 20:17 |
| jrib | iku-iku: I imagine it's related to the option not to create a home | 20:17 |

| minka | guys is there a way to hide the places menu in gconf-editor | 20:22 |
| jrib | MariachiAC: works fine for me | 20:22 |
| dlentz | asktrytest, the last distro that supported it was 8.10, but it's probably better to use Hardy/8.04 as there's more support/software for it | 20:23 |
| dlentz | actually, it's better just to use the open-source radeon driver... | 20:23 |
| meganerd | mizifih: the very first line give you a pretty good clue about what is going on | 20:23 |
| MariachiAC | Ok jrib. I am trying to get it to work. | 20:24 |
| Halexander9000 | Could someone tell me if there's a way to view all audio input devices so I can tell VLC which one to stream from? | 20:24 |
| Halexander9000 | Pretty please? | 20:24 |
| asktrytest | dlentz thanks alot, i'll look into it | 20:24 |
| minka | does anyone know to hide the places menu in gnome 2 | 20:24 |
| mizifih | meganerd: I'm new to ubuntu so, I have no clue. | 20:25 |
| zykotick9 | minka: are you using Lucid 10.04? | 20:26 |
| MariachiAC | jrib I installed the driver from the notification Ubuntu gave me in the menu bar. But, afterwards, I do not see any affect. I look under wireless, and I see no listing of my wireless points being listed. However, if I connect my computer back to the wired connection that I used to get the driver, internet works. | 20:26 |
| mizifih | meganerd: ok, use gnu parted... | 20:26 |
| jrib | MariachiAC: have you rebooted? | 20:26 |
| LmAt | If I were to create a new terminal, what would I need to read first? | 20:26 |
| LmAt | I hope that's clear. Another way of asking: | 20:27 |
| LmAt | Where can I read about the protocol necessary between, say, bash and its terminal? | 20:27 |
| MariachiAC | Yeah. I rebooted. I even rebooted a machine with 12.04, and it still does nothing. | 20:27 |
| meganerd | mizifih: basically the drive was probably partitioned by Vista or Windows 7 and is using GPT partitions | 20:28 |
| zykotick9 | MariachiAC: reask your question in #ubuntu+1 | 20:28 |
| mizifih | meganerd: ok. got that part, I probably did that alright, but how do I access it, that's the million dollar question ;( | 20:28 |
| mizifih | is parted gparted? | 20:28 |
| jrib | zykotick9: he said he's on 11.10 | 20:29 |
| zykotick9 | MariachiAC: sorry, i see that was just a test. my bad. | 20:29 |
| MariachiAC | No worries. | 20:29 |

| Halexander9000 | Could someone please tell me if there's a way to view all audio input devices so I can tell VLC which one to stream from? | 20:31 |
| mizifih | thanks | 20:31 |
| MariachiAC | Not sure what else to do. jrib , I also removed the driver and reinstalled it to see if that would work. No dice. | 20:31 |

| MariachiAC | I am using a mac for IRC right now, yes. Laptop has Ubuntu | 20:32 |
| Optichip | Halexander9000: you should be able to select the different devices inside the pavucontrol | 20:32 |
| jrib | MariachiAC: but the machine with issues is an apple laptop? | 20:32 |

| MariachiAC | No | 20:32 |

| MariachiAC | I mean | 20:33 |
| MariachiAC | 1520 | 20:33 |
| jrib | MariachiAC: some machines have some sort of hardware switch for the wireless I believe, is that true in your case? | 20:33 |
| meganerd | Sefid_Par: yup, just figure out the port and protocol and you can drop it | 20:33 |
| meganerd | Sefid_Par: hint look at the wikipedia page for ssdp | 20:33 |
| MariachiAC | jrib, yes it is true in my case. | 20:34 |
| Sefid_Par | maganerd:Thank you. | 20:34 |
| Optichip | Halexander9000: pulse sets audio settings per application much like Windows 7 does, you should be able to select the audio input device for VLC | 20:34 |
| MariachiAC | Although the switch is set to on all the time. | 20:34 |
| jrib | MariachiAC: are you sure that's not what is causing the issue? | 20:34 |
| MariachiAC | I haven't switched it off in a while | 20:34 |

| Optichip | Halexander9000: did you launch pavucontrol | 20:42 |
| Halexander9000 | Optichip: Of course. | 20:43 |
| Optichip | Halexander9000: so under the playback tab, do you have VLC listed? is VLC currently running? | 20:43 |
| MariachiAC | Hmmm. | 20:44 |
| MariachiAC | Hopefully I can resolve it soon. | 20:44 |
| Halexander9000 | Optichip: Nope, just System Sounds. | 20:44 |
| Halexander9000 | Optichip: Yes, VLC is running, but it froze. | 20:44 |
| Halexander9000 | Optichip: At least the video part. | 20:45 |
| Optichip | Halexander9000: try restarting VLC, then check to see if it's listed in Playback tab | 20:45 |
| Halexander9000 | Optichip: Do I need to restart pavucontrol too? And if so, after or before VLC? | 20:46 |
| Optichip | Halexander9000: no you can leave pavucontrol open | 20:46 |
| Halexander9000 | Optichip: VLC freezes if I don't pay attention to it and alt-tab to this chat app. | 20:47 |
| MariachiAC | jrib dlentz , when doing ifconfig in termainl, WLAN 0 is not listed what so ever as an interface. Seems strange. Maybe that is why it is not working? If so, how could I resolve that? | 20:47 |

| Optichip | Halexander9000: hmm | 20:48 |
| Halexander9000 | Optichip: As if it goes into standby or something. | 20:49 |
| MariachiAC | Thanks. I will have a look | 20:49 |
| Halexander9000 | Optichip: But yeah, still nothing on Pavucontrol. | 20:49 |
| Optichip | Halexander9000: it should show up in the list in Playback, you should be able to see what sound device it is configured for, you can click on the sound device and it should show a list of devices to choose from, pick the "correct" device for the input, you might also check the Input tab and make sure that you have a good level of audio coming through that device. | 20:50 |

| _r00t_ | Optichip: Ahhhh yes but really this should be a daemon it has no dependency on xbmc running | 21:08 |

| wylde | !details | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:59 |
| mads- | That's like saying 'My car doesn't work - can you fix it?' | 22:59 |
| BarkingFish | vexaxv, no - if you want to register, type /msg nickserv help register and it will give you instructions. | 23:00 |
| BarkingFish | just typing /nick <your nick> only changes your name | 23:00 |
| Phillip | mads, Ive been told to enter some commands into the terminal but i wasnt told why or what these commands would do none-theless i did so and i took a print screen of my results, here we are | 23:00 |
| Phillip | http://i.imgur.com/PY81I.png | 23:00 |
| mads- | This might sound wrong, but you're here to "sell" us your problem. You need to make it easy for people to help you | 23:01 |
| kion | Phillip On your ifconfig looks like you do not have wireless or wired network cards. | 23:02 |
| === carif_ is now known as carif-offsite | ||
| mads- | Have you tried sudo ifconfig eth0 up? | 23:02 |
| Phillip | kion, obviously its not recognizing the cards because of the drivers | 23:03 |
| BarkingFish | Phillip, could you repeat the lspci command, but follow it with -nn please? | 23:03 |
| wylde | Atheros are very well supported...AFAIK | 23:03 |
| BarkingFish | that thing which shows as an ethernet controller may be wifi, mine shows up exactly the same way, it may be configurable if we can find the Vendor and Product ID | 23:04 |

| Phillip | every time i have to do a command i have to reboot my computer, is there any more things i can try instead of having to reboot again and again, i beleive i just need some rivers | 23:04 |
| BarkingFish | you don't have to reboot, Phillip - could you explain why you're doing that? | 23:04 |
| ohptlabs | so is there a gentoo for a macbook pro? | 23:05 |
| usr13 | Phillip: Why do you have to reboot? | 23:05 |
| BarkingFish | this is only a simple command to see all your PCI devices and their Vendor idents | 23:05 |
| wylde | ohptlabs: and that relates to ubuntu support how? | 23:05 |
| Phillip | i have to reboot because i am running ubuntu dual boot with windows 7 and im on windows 7 now | 23:05 |
| BarkingFish | aha | 23:05 |
| BarkingFish | Ok, so you're on the net via WIndows 7, can't get on through Ubuntu, right? | 23:06 |
| usr13 | Phillip: Is it because it is a Dual Boot system and you need to boot to MS Windows in order to connect to the internet? Right? | 23:06 |
| Phillip | Yup correct | 23:06 |
| ohptlabs | wylde: was a question about ubuntu? im looking at the wiped clean macbook pro and wondering about ubuntuing it | 23:06 |
| usr13 | Phillip: Can you connect via wired connection? | 23:06 |
| === Ajaya is now known as ajaya | ||
| Phillip | Nope neither wired or wirless | 23:06 |
| BarkingFish | Is this a laptop, Phillip? | 23:06 |

| Phillip | Yes its a laptop, ASUS k53e to be precise | 23:07 |

| wylde | ohptlabs: quote:"so is there a gentoo for a macbook pro?" <--- how would that make anyone think it had something to do with ubuntu? | 23:07 |
| kion | CyberWorld: I have one and have not been able to boot it under linux | 23:07 |

| kion | CyberWorld: I probbably have not tried hard enough because I have an Alienware runing Ubuntu | 23:09 |

| CyberWorld | I would just try to load the live cd | 23:10 |

| |DM| | it's a hacknitosh. | 23:10 |
| kion | CyberWorld: The Macbook pro will not boot with the cd or a Flash memory | 23:10 |

| === nikolja|odsutan is now known as nikolja | ||
| ohptlabs | hmmm now this seems like a worthy challenge. | 23:12 |
| BarkingFish | With apologies for going off on a slant, - Phillip - can you go into windows, into the device manager and find your wireless device in there please? | 23:12 |
| CyberWorld | If I can't run ubuntu on mac book pro I probably will never buy one | 23:12 |
| Phillip | http://i.imgur.com/PY81I.png> | 23:12 |
| kion | CyberWorld: I regret buying mine.... | 23:13 |
| Phillip | BarkingFish yes I will do now | 23:13 |
| kion | CyberWorld: because for the same money I could have got my hands on better hardware for the same price | 23:13 |
| kion | and run Linux and be free | 23:13 |
| kion | CyberWorld: I have found Mac as closed as it gets! | 23:13 |
| Phillip | BarkingFish I don't think I have the wireless drivers installed in win7 as I never use wireless | 23:14 |
| CyberWorld | yeah but the quality is still nice good display, keys that light up, aluminum shell | 23:14 |
| BarkingFish | I'm sorry for taking the channel on a windows trip, but I'm after the VID/PID of the device Phillip is using, and I can get that while he's in windows without making him reboot again :) | 23:14 |
| Phillip | I have my wired and thats it | 23:14 |
| kion | CyberWorld: And also I have to tell you this | 23:14 |
| BarkingFish | Phillip, you don't see a wireless device mentioned? | 23:14 |
| usr13 | Phillip: What do you have installed? | 23:14 |
| usr13 | Phillip: What version of Ubuntu did you install? | 23:14 |
| Bender_ | I have problem with video card. I'm installing ATI Catalysy 12.3 in a fresh install but something goes worng | 23:15 |
| Phillip | Well I dont actually use wireless so I never installed the drivers, I have my Atheros PCI-E Ethernet adapter installed | 23:15 |
| kion | CyberWorld: as an entertainment I connected my MacBook Pro to the internet trough my Ubuntu computer with Iptables and masquerading... | 23:15 |
| Phillip | And I installed Ubuntu 10.04 usr13 | 23:15 |
| Bender_ | Also the package manager says that the database is broken. | 23:15 |
| kion | CyberWorld: and discovered that the Mac would try to connect to apple ip addresses without my permission | 23:15 |
| BarkingFish | so that would be... lucid? | 23:15 |
| Phillip | I beleive so | 23:15 |
| CyberWorld | for updates? | 23:16 |
| kion | CyberWorld: when I blocked the whole apple space, my macbook would try thousands of times and on different addresses in very short time spans | 23:16 |
| usr13 | Phillip: & BarkingFish Yes, 10.04 is lucid | 23:16 |
| CyberWorld | weird | 23:16 |
| Phillip | [#ubuntu] 09:08 -!- ajaya [~aj@www.iith.ac.in] has left #ub | 23:16 |
| CyberWorld | maybe another reason their batteries don't come out on their devices | 23:16 |
| Phillip | e | 23:16 |
| usr13 | Phillip: I'm surprised that the ethernet device is not working by default. Did it work with the livecd? | 23:17 |
| BarkingFish | Phillip, I was going to try setting your wireless up through ndiswrapper, unfortunately I'd need your usbid for the device to do that. I was looking for it cause you mentioned you couldn't get on via wired or wireless. | 23:17 |
| shadykhan | what desktop enviroment you guys use? | 23:17 |
| shadykhan | im getting tired of unity and im not feeling gnome3 | 23:17 |
| Phillip | usr13, I didn't try the live CD i just installed straight away | 23:17 |
| usr13 | shadykhan: Try xfce | 23:17 |
| kion | CyberWorld: I belive that their OS has spyware and much rather use Ubuntu and controll all that my computer does, and where it connects! | 23:18 |
| kion | CyberWorld: but that is just me. | 23:18 |
| Phillip | BarkingFish how can I get usbid then? I havent been able to find wireless drivers for my win7 system in months | 23:18 |
| usr13 | shadykhan: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop #Will install xfce4 | 23:18 |
| ex0a | i've had some issues with the hd i have ubuntu installed on and while trying to sort them out i've come across one i'm not sure how to fix - my /tmp is not a directory and when i open it with pico (it's huge, but i just wanted to see what it was if it was a file) it says "tmp" is a device file | 23:18 |
| shadykhan | thx usr13 | 23:18 |
