| Ankman | ooh | 00:07 |
| pyDude | php huh..ankman...:) | 00:07 |
| Ankman | do other internet apps work in wubi? | 00:08 |
| starte | ankman: yeah | 00:08 |
| smrtz | yeah, point it to google.com or something, see if theres a proxy inbetween you and your target, but Ankmans idea is better, so do that first | 00:08 |

| delinquentme | suggestions for a smart reinstall of ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| Ankman | delinquentme: why reinstall? | 00:16 |
| carroarmato0 | delinquentme: what do you mean by that? | 00:16 |
| * Ankman does similar... | 00:16 | |
| delinquentme | actually I just realized I should be able to get away with just killing the old copy of windows | 00:17 |
| Ankman | just added some "unstable" sources to otherwise "testing" | 00:17 |
| ms-daisy | smart reinstall- you mean what to do before reinstalling? | 00:17 |
| carroarmato0 | I was wandering if it would be ok to go ahead and already install Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop instead of waiting for it to officially be released in 5days. Would I get into any particular problem? | 00:19 |
| yakster | ok the find delete didnt work… | 00:19 |
| yakster | I need to recursivly search for an .AppleDouble in all my network location, and eradicare it… .AppleDouble is a directory… | 00:20 |
| ms-daisy | @ carroarmato0 as long as you have good backups of everything and anything important | 00:20 |
| hemicuda | ms daisy | 00:20 |
| jrib | yakster: i told you how :/ | 00:20 |
| hemicuda | ms daisy you are so beautiful | 00:21 |
| bazhang | hemicuda, stop that | 00:21 |
| yakster | yeah… did that… but .AppleDouble is a directory… it will nto delete | 00:21 |
| Ankman | carroarmato0: should be no problem. but i would wait. a clean install might be better, just in case | 00:21 |
| carroarmato0 | ms-daisy: I do backup everything incrementally on an external drive | 00:21 |
| hemicuda | lol | 00:21 |
| hemicuda | you again | 00:21 |
| Ankman | plus, it's more exciting to wait. just like before christmas ;-) | 00:21 |
| carroarmato0 | Ankman: yeah, I tend to like clean installs | 00:21 |
| carroarmato0 | hehe :D | 00:21 |

| carroarmato0 | I'm just impatient for this release :) | 00:21 |
| yakster | jrib: didnt work… | 00:22 |
| jrib | yakster: if you wish, you can use: find -print0 -name .AppleDouble | xargs -0 rm -r (do not run this without understanding it and verifying it does what you want.) | 00:22 |
| yakster | jrib: directory is nto empty | 00:22 |
| yakster | under /media/Goflex/ I want to eradicate all .AppleDouble ont eh nas drive | 00:23 |
| yakster | the -r is recursive delete right jrib? | 00:23 |
| jrib | yakster: oops, make sure the -print0 comes after the -name or you will delete everything | 00:23 |
| jrib | yakster: yes. | 00:23 |
| yakster | jrib: ok, "find -name .AppleDouble -print0 | xargs -0 rm -r" | 00:24 |
| Ankman | jrib: before i use xargs to delete, i replace "rm" with 'ls" to see what would happen | 00:24 |
| jrib | yakster: see Ankman's advice | 00:25 |
| yakster | thx all: | 00:25 |
| yakster | what is the -print0 | 00:26 |
| jrib | yakster: it's to handle whitespace issues | 00:26 |
| yakster | ok | 00:26 |
| kantlivelong | anyone know why rtl8187 usb wifi is soo slow? | 00:26 |
| yakster | jrib: so "find -name .AppleDouble -print0 | xargs -0 rm -r" is correct | 00:27 |
| jrib | yakster maybe. I certainly wouldn't run a command given to me on the internet with rm in it if *I* wasn't sure it was correct though | 00:27 |

| edward_ | MestreLion: yes, then you need to run a trigger. not sure how that's done as dpkg normally does it for me regarding packages | 00:52 |

| jimi | Hey guys | 00:53 |
| CKyle22 | Is there any way to change the size of the Unity dash? I'd like it a lot more if I could. Right now it's small compared to the rest of my screen and ideally I'd like it to be the size of my monitor's native res. | 00:53 |
| jimi | Is anyone here | 00:53 |
| MestreLion | edward_: yes, I know... but this will be an app installed to /opt, it does not have a .deb package... so I need to "mimic" whatever apt does regarding manpages | 00:53 |
| bobo37773 | I have a question and not sure where to ask. About port groups. For example: I have ports 25,110,143,465,585,587,993,995 as email ports. I would like to define the whole 65535 (a lot of dynamic ports). Anyone interested in helping out? | 00:53 |
| CKyle22 | I googled around but it only showed how to change the icon sizes and that's not what I want. | 00:53 |
| booi | how do i have the menu bar be visible all the time instead of only when i hover? | 00:54 |
| optikx | same question as booi for me? | 00:54 |
| MestreLion | edward_: for example, regarding .desktop and icon files I know that there is no need for a trigger.. there is a daemon (gnome's maybe?) that scans for new entries in /usr/share/applications and automatically adds them to the menu... is there such a thing for manpages? What should I do? | 00:55 |
| bobo37773 | MestreLion: Man pages? What are you trying to do? | 00:55 |
| MestreLion | bobo37773: to manually install a man page for an app that is installed in /opt | 00:56 |
| === null is now known as Guest78187 | ||
| bobo37773 | MestreLion: Can't you just throw it in with the rest of the man pages? Is man not finding it? | 00:57 |

| cocoa117 | anyone know how to install kde-config in ubuntu 11.10? | 00:58 |
| MestreLion | bobo37773: I don't know... I don't even know the right place to put it... should I put in /usr/share/man and run a trigger that will gzip and place to ./man1 for me, or should I manually move a gziped one to /usr/share/man/man1 ? | 00:58 |
| bobo37773 | MestreLion: There are a lot of subdirectories to /usr/share/man I believe. Also, you will have to apply the correct permissions and tar it up in a (.gz ?) file. | 00:58 |

| red_ | okay | 01:03 |
| red_ | thanks | 01:03 |
| bobo37773 | MestreLion: try to just copy it as /usr/share/man/man1/myapp.1.gz Make sure the permissions are correct based on the other man pages there. Then run man myapp. If it doesn't work just rm the file. No big deal. Oh I see what you mean. Try to gz it yourself and dump it in there. Or copy an existing man page and look inside to see if there is any special sytax changes you need to make. | 01:03 |
| MestreLion | ok bobo37773 .. I will try it then... I wish there were some official docs about it, so we don't need to trial-and-error | 01:04 |

| haz3lnut | anyone know anything about remastersys? Specifically about making a distribution? I want to build a distribution inside a virtualbox, and then install that on my main machine. Think it will work? | 01:33 |
| mpgutta | hi i am using rsync with --stats and --progress options, it started shown in verbose info like (xfer#5252005, to-check=16492/11211909), could any one please let me know what does that mean? | 01:36 |
| Fyodorovna | haz3lnut, I have noticed that remastersys uses a bit of gpu and cpu that may be problem depending on your setup. | 01:42 |
| kantlivelong | hrm | 01:44 |
| kantlivelong | im trying to debug pm-suspend. I found "Magic number: 8:146:509" in my dmesg after rebooting.. dont see anything resembling it | 01:44 |
| haz3lnut | Fyodorovna: you mean the dist that it backs up will "hardcode" some gpu/cpu info that will prevent it from being installed on another box? | 01:47 |
| Zyith | on the downloads why is the 32 bit recommended? | 01:48 |
| Zyith | and how many people here are using the mubi windows installer? | 01:50 |
| Zyith | is it better to run from a clean install? | 01:51 |
| xangua | that's all personal choice Zyith | 01:52 |
| Fyodorovna | haz3lnut, no it just used a lot of those services running on my setup. | 01:53 |
| Zyith | I have only used ubuntu once for a few weeks. I want to get back into it. I have 4 hdd that I could install to. I just was wondering about the speed of running inside windows | 01:53 |
| mhaz | slower in windows | 01:53 |
| gfredericks | how can I avoid typing `xrdb .Xresources` everytime I log in? | 01:54 |
| haz3lnut | Zyith: 32 bit recommended because for some reason, some vendors (ahem, adobe, cough) have trouble making 64 bit code. You can run the 32 bit programs on your 64 bit box, but you actually have to fix it so it will work (ie, install 32 bit libs) | 01:54 |
| Rambytes | Hi everybody! | 01:54 |
| mhaz | hello ram | 01:55 |
| Zyith | cool thanks Haz3lnut | 01:55 |
| Rambytes | Very sorry for my english, but I have a little question about Ubuntu 12.04... i'm a "semi-newbie" and I want to install 12.04... but the final release will be available the 26 april. But if I install the 12.04 beta, does i will able to only update from the beta to the final? | 01:57 |
| xangua | !beta | Rambytes | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Rambytes: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. | 01:57 |
| haz3lnut | Zyith: if you have 4 gb or less of ram, you should run 32 bit. if you want to take advantage of more than 4gb ram run 64 bit. | 01:58 |
| Rambytes | Thanks alot! :) | 01:58 |
| ken_os | hello guys. do you mind if i ask a question ?:) | 01:58 |
| ken_os | just tell me how to copy paste files into wine :) | 01:58 |
| ms-daisy | ken_os go ahead | 01:58 |
| haz3lnut | ken_os: right click copy. right click paste? ...or ctrl-c copy and ctrl-v paste. Is that what you mean? | 02:00 |
| haz3lnut | ken_os: it should be seamless | 02:00 |
| ken_os | it's not that simple | 02:01 |
| ken_os | :\ | 02:01 |
| ms-daisy | where are you copying from & where are you pasting to? | 02:01 |
| haz3lnut | ken_os: maybe you got a particular program making it not so simple, but for the most part it is that simple. | 02:01 |
| ken_os | from downloads folder on my user on centos into system32 folder | 02:01 |
| haz3lnut | ken_os: use drag/drop for whole files. | 02:02 |
| ken_os | i think i tried that but i didn't tried enough | 02:03 |
| ken_os | i will try | 02:03 |
| haz3lnut | copy/paste is for text, not files...or it should be anyway. | 02:03 |
| ken_os | i just have to put 3 dll files into system32 | 02:03 |
| ken_os | i downloaded them on desktop now i have to put them there | 02:03 |
| delinquentme | SO I thought I had the arduino IDE installed .. is there anyway to search through my ubuntu installation to find out if its hidden somewhere? | 02:05 |
| leejohn | hi good day guys, does anyone know how I can lockdown the preference for google-chrome? | 02:12 |
| milamber | delinquentme: how did you install it? | 02:12 |
| haz3lnut | ken_os: Assuming you have a standard wine install, in a terminal type: cp ~/Desktop/*.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 | 02:12 |
| leejohn | in firefox it's too easy /etc/firefox/prefs/firefox.js | 02:13 |
| ken_os | so this will copy/paste everything that is dll | 02:13 |
| ken_os | i get it but wait a sec | 02:13 |

| SuperG1134 | .dll? | 02:27 |
| haz3lnut | ken_os: can you open a folder window to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and then open a folder window to ~/Desktop? | 02:27 |
| SuperG1134 | joined the convo too late for that!! | 02:27 |
| haz3lnut | ken_os: and if you can do that, can you drag and drop the files you want to copy? | 02:27 |
| haz3lnut | ken_os: and if you can;t do that, do you get an error message? | 02:28 |
| leejohn | I have NVS 240 + triple monitor setup, does xinerama works now with composite extension on precise? no one answer on ubuntu+1 channel so i just try my luck here ? | 02:28 |
| ken_os | i don't it's named like that . when i browse winefile the tree is named c:/windows/system32 | 02:28 |
| ken_os | and when i type whereis .wine i can't find it -.- | 02:28 |
| ken_os | i tried to drag and drop but no luck. i will work some more but tell me can i restore files i deleted in winefile ? | 02:29 |
| ken_os | like is there recycle bin there too? | 02:29 |
| haz3lnut | leejohn: that's a very specific setup, so you should be patient and wait, maybe ask your question every 10 minutes till you find the right expert in ubuntu+1 | 02:29 |

| ken_os | done man. :D thanks. | 02:34 |
| haz3lnut | ken_os: drag/drop should be that simple, but I don;t know if centos uses nautilus, gnome, or what. It could put wine in a different folder, who knows? I use Ubuntu. | 02:34 |

| klync | yes | 02:46 |
| FernandoCueva | how to change fs without loosing data | 02:46 |

| EvilResistance | you cant | 02:47 |

| EvilResistance | you have to back up the data, then format, then restore | 02:47 |
| EvilResistance | no other method | 02:47 |
| klync | FernandoCueva: that google search suggests the disk doesn't need to know what encoding you're using, so long as your terminal encoding is set correctly. i.e. using `locale` and the control panel in your graphical environment | 02:48 |

| S4L | Anthony, no, ext432, several other journaling, and fats, all repeated 4 times (this is Kubuntu disc BTW) | 03:41 |

| ChogyDan | S4L: you may have to install somethhing line ntfsprogs or something | 03:43 |
| ChogyDan | *like | 03:43 |
| S4L | was mainly trying to streamline having all of them mount on boot by doing it during install. All the necessary partitions are in place just fine. | 03:43 |
| |Anthony| | S4L, try using the live cd to partition your drive first, then proceed to the install... | 03:43 |
| the_real_crimper | wylde, i was trying to avoid the mkdir part, i.e. something automatic, i suppose i just have to write my own script | 03:44 |
| |Anthony| | S4L, if you are still unable to select these partitions during install to set mount points, you might need to edit fstab after installation | 03:44 |
| S4L | what I was hoping to avoid :-) | 03:44 |
| |Anthony| | fstab isn't a big deal to edit | 03:44 |
| S4L | I know, but it's annoying when I think there's a quicker, cleaner way and there isn't | 03:45 |
| S4L | ah well, I'll live | 03:45 |
| |Anthony| | well... | 03:45 |
| |Anthony| | maybe something | 03:45 |
| |Anthony| | idk if this will work, but | 03:45 |
| |Anthony| | run the live cd, see if you are able to partition the drives first... there might be a .so or lib file you need to install to manage those partitions. | 03:46 |

| jasoncinci | ceti331: it's a comment on something for sure. | 04:44 |
| ceti331 | ubuntu one is supposed to do the same job ? and apple has 'airdrop'? | 04:44 |
| TehCraw | Just uploaded a screenshot of the chat software I"m making to dropbox a second ago | 04:45 |

| fagju | hey | 04:46 |
| pappadj | hey all... just a simple question. seems the current release of Ubuntu doesn't have support for either the latest amd a6 cpu or ati M65xx gpu drivers.... Anyone know if 12.04 will fix it and is there a Ubuntu for Windows verson? | 04:46 |
| ZeloZelos | i need to add tcp/ip port forwarding from public port 86 to 192.168.0.2 port 86...i have a motorola surfboard cable modem and have some knowledge of it if someone could tell me which settngs to change | 04:46 |
| jasoncinci | kantlivelong: doesn't that require the dev kernel? | 04:46 |
| fagju | can someone tell me how to turn off the preview pictures in nautilus? | 04:46 |
| TehCraw | I gotta go. It's getting late here, and I'm getting up early tomorrow. See ya. | 04:47 |
| ZeloZelos | oops shoulda been offtopic :( | 04:47 |
| kantlivelong | jasoncinci: unsure? | 04:47 |
| jasoncinci | kantlivelong: you using sudo? | 04:47 |
| kantlivelong | jasoncinci: yes. | 04:47 |
| kantlivelong | jasoncinci: it doesnt seem to drastically change the time like its supposed to | 04:48 |
| jasoncinci | kantlivelong: what is the error? Just nothing? | 04:48 |
| kantlivelong | nothing | 04:48 |
| kantlivelong | no signal | 04:48 |

| jasoncinci | ZeloZelos: not sure what you want to do. Firewall in Ubuntu or looking for how to change the router? | 04:49 |
| Rurd2di | help! | 04:49 |
| kantlivelong | unsure why :/ | 04:49 |
| fagju | I'd like to turn off the picture preview in the listview mode in nautilus. can someone help me with that? thx | 04:49 |
| ceti331 | for some reason I got further setting up BZR and GIT servers than general file browsing | 04:49 |
| jasoncinci | kantlivelong: You need to check if you have the dev kernel, libraries installed. Quick Google search will point you in the right direction. | 04:49 |
| nastas | after update to 11.10 mouse an keyboard doesn't work | 04:49 |
| ceti331 | there was a point where i could quite happily push/pull between my macbook, linux | 04:49 |
| nastas | any idea? | 04:49 |
| jasoncinci | fagju: use gconf-editor | 04:50 |
| vector | nastas: they dont' work in X or does the keyboard also not work in console mode (like.. in recovery or whatever) | 04:50 |
| fagju | jasoncinci: can you give me a hint where to look? | 04:51 |
| kantlivelong | jasoncinci: i dont think thats the prob.. i have /sys/power/pm_trace... | 04:51 |
| jasoncinci | fagju: a quick google search will. check apps > pref | 04:51 |
| kantlivelong | so pm_trace is there.. | 04:51 |
| nastas | vector: in console mode it works or recovery. it just stop working in login screen | 04:52 |
| jasoncinci | kantlivelong: possibly, but without the dev kernel, pm_trace has no library to collect data you are looking for on driver, etc. | 04:52 |
| vector | nastas: I'm assuming you've rebooted since the upgrade? | 04:52 |
| nastas | vector: yes. | 04:52 |
| kantlivelong | jasoncinci: all its supposed to do is store the pciid in the RTC. shouldnt need any libs | 04:52 |
| vector | nastas: you can look for hints as to why kb/mouse isn't liked in X by looking in /var/log/Xorg.o.log | 04:53 |
| jasoncinci | kantlivelong: sorry i couldn't be more help! Good luck in your quest! | 04:54 |
| Rurd2di | any one help with my issue | 04:54 |
| kantlivelong | jasoncinci: its np.. i think it might be usb3 | 04:54 |
| Rurd2di | just an issue with a line of script | 04:54 |
| jasoncinci | nastas: are they usb devices? if so have you tried PS2 if available / possible? | 04:54 |
| nastas | vector: paste.ubuntu.com/937168 | 04:54 |
| nastas | jasoncinci: i have try both ps2 and usb | 04:55 |
| fagju | jasoncinci: when i change /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_image_thumbnails then I wont have any previews, even in symbol view. | 04:55 |
| Rurd2di | postmap: fatal: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 1: missing '=' after attribute name: "Add: [smtp.gmail.com]:587" | 04:57 |
| jasoncinci | fagju: sorry thought you wanted them always gone. | 04:57 |
| Rurd2di | wtf does this mean | 04:57 |
| nastas | jasoncinci: vector while on boot screen i can switch to console with REI and ctrl+alt+F1 | 04:57 |
| fagju | jasoncinci: :D I'll try some googling | 04:57 |
| vector | nastas: by boot screen do you actually mean the "ubuntu" screen while it's booting or do you mean the login screen? | 04:58 |
| jasoncinci | nastas: did you change your keyboard layout or something on the login screen? | 04:58 |
| nastas | vector: i mean the screen that my password is reguested | 04:58 |
| nastas | jasoncinci: no i didn't | 04:58 |
| jasoncinci | nastas: also does the mouse work on that screen? | 04:59 |
| vector | damn.. that was my next question :( | 04:59 |
| nastas | jasoncinci: no. mouse is also "dead" | 04:59 |
| jasoncinci | nastas: on the login screen? or X session or both. | 04:59 |
| vector | jasoncinci: kb works on his console | 04:59 |
| vector | but not X | 05:00 |
| nastas | that's right | 05:00 |
| vector | or.. at least at the login screen he can ctrl-alt-F1 to get to the console... but (and I'm assuming this one) can't type in a password on the login screen (?) | 05:00 |
| nastas | vector: that's excactly what is happening | 05:01 |
| vector | this is going to sound stupid.. but have you tried unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in on another usb port? | 05:02 |
| jasoncinci | nastas: something in your xorg.conf possibly. Use the console to login, and remove it (rename not delete probs) and X should recreate on restart / login | 05:02 |
| nastas | vector: i can't type my pass but i can takeover my keyboard using alt+sysrq | 05:02 |
| nastas | jasoncinci: i have already try that | 05:03 |
| vector | well yes, we know the kernel sees your keyboard.. I was hoping to make X see it with a hotplug | 05:03 |
| vector | not a huge chance that will work.. but it's something to try :) | 05:03 |
| jasoncinci | nastas: hmm. | 05:03 |
| zschallz | How can I see the current configuration of my ubuntu box's kernel? | 05:03 |
| zschallz | I need to see if something was enabled as a module. | 05:04 |
| vector | zschallz: /boot/config.gz or something like that? | 05:04 |
| jasoncinci | nasta: are they usb wireless or wired? | 05:04 |
| vector | ah ... /boot/config-`uname -r` | 05:04 |
| MZIGGA | i have a hardware question; my MOBO doesnt have raid 5 would ubuntu handle a pci-e raid controller | 05:04 |
| vector | MZIGGA: yes | 05:05 |
| zschallz | vector: Thanks for that-- but it doesn't seem to be there | 05:05 |
| vector | in fact, I'm running one right now | 05:05 |
| zschallz | I wonder if me using Linode happens to be one of the reasons why | 05:05 |
| vector | oh | 05:05 |
| zschallz | maybe they use a special kernel | 05:05 |
| nastas | jasoncinci: wired | 05:05 |
| vector | I'm sure they do | 05:05 |
| zschallz | yup. 3.0.18-linode43 | 05:05 |
| zschallz | hmmm | 05:05 |
| vector | I think the kernel has to have that config option turned on for the config.gz to be there.. and it looks like ubuntu just dumps that file there... so it's probably not enabled on many VPS providers | 05:06 |
| srdhlinux | hi, i have installed kubuntu, try it for a month, then install gnome-shell package, remove KDE package, but when i look at the boot log message, the K display manager still running, i have removed the KDM package. | 05:06 |
| jasoncinci | nastas: have you checked /etc/default/console-setup for kb layout, etc. | 05:06 |
| nastas | jasoncinci: give me 1 min | 05:07 |
| zschallz | vector: I believe you're right. Thanks | 05:07 |
| jasoncinci | nastas: look at the XKBMODEL & XKBLAYOUT specifially. | 05:07 |
| zschallz | If something is not enabled as a module in the kernel I am running, it has to be recompiled, right? | 05:08 |
| zschallz | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile says "You merely need to compile a special driver. For this, you only need to install the linux-headers packages." but I'm not sure what this means. | 05:08 |
| vector | MZIGGA: make sure you check to make sure there's a linux driver for your controller though... nothing sucks more than spending money on a controller to find out there isn't any linux support (either from manufacturer or from the community) | 05:08 |
| vector | zschallz: if the currently running kernel has been built with the abililty to load modules, you can simply build the module that you need for that kernel version. however, if you are looking to build a kernel for a linode machine you might run into problems with the module not loading because they have their own patches they apply to the kernel I'm sure... so if you don't have access to the source tree they use to build that version of the | 05:11 |
| vector | kernel you will likely find it very difficult to build a module that inserts properly | 05:11 |
| nastas | jasoncinci: XKBMODEL=ps105 and XKBLAYOUT=us seems normal tome | 05:11 |
| vector | that being said.. I'm not a kernel expert... just a 18 year "power user", all of that info is of the "as far as I know" variety :) | 05:12 |
| nastas | jasoncinci: *pc105 not ps105 | 05:13 |

| nastas | jasoncinci just made an upgrade to 11.10 from 11.04. on 11.04 it was working just fine | 05:19 |
| jasoncinci | nastas: can you select old kernel during boot and see if it works? | 05:19 |

| captine | Trying to install ubuntu on lenovo X201 (dual boot with win7). Anyone had issues with partitions not being read correctly? | 05:53 |
| captine | gparted doesnt read correctly. shows !'s next to partitions | 05:53 |
| captine | doesnt show an unallocated space which shows in windows. I am guessing windows 7 has not recorded partitions correctly or something, and that i need to reinstall the windows and ubuntu os's | 05:54 |
| captine | if I can get the dual boot working, i can save buying a new machine | 05:55 |
| kcurtis | Hello, don't know if this helps, but I've used gparted adozen times for dual boots and never had a problem- are you making a simple misatke? Those are the ones that always screw things up! :) | 05:57 |
| kcurtis | Screwed up like my spelling for instance... | 05:58 |
| captine | thanks kcurtis. Also used it many times. i think the IT guys at the office used Win7 to change partition sizes etc, after installing win7 | 05:58 |
| captine | suspect that is causing an issue. Gparted lists the labels on the incorrect partitions etc, so something is wack :) | 05:59 |
| scar3crow | captine: try out a wubi install? | 05:59 |
| captine | thanks scar3crow. i will look into wubi. key is, i am kind of using a work machine for this, which means i cannot leave a "trace" :) | 05:59 |
| captine | does wubi run it from inside windows? | 06:00 |
| scar3crow | fdisk /mbr ;) | 06:00 |

| gluonman | The following textfile is broken up into multiple lines per field. The beginning of a line should always be finalNE_B.fits, and each instance of " \ " should be removed and the following line appended to the first line.

| user1 | pls help me.... | 07:36 |
| psycho_oreos | where exactly did you see that showing up? | 07:37 |
| meganerd | user1: aptitude show mcelog | 07:38 |
| meganerd | user1: psycho_oreos it merely copies the machine check exceptions events into the syslog, if you remove the package those events do not show up in syslog | 07:39 |
| psycho_oreos | meganerd, ahh I see thanks | 07:40 |
| meganerd | you probably don't need it unless you are testing kernels and are filling out useful bug reports | 07:40 |
| user1 | meganerd - how can check h/w failures using mcelog | 07:42 |
| Lipu | Hi all | 07:42 |
| Lipu | good morning | 07:42 |
| meganerd | user1: I can't really help you with that since I don't have it installed on any of my machines | 07:42 |
| meganerd | user1: it has been a few years since I owned any problematic hardware | 07:42 |
| meganerd | user1: from looking at the package description, all mcelog does is copy MCE events into the syslog | 07:43 |
| Lipu | I need help, I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and my machine cannot resolve the DNS configuration means resolv.conf remain blank | 07:43 |
| Lipu | any one can help me | 07:44 |

| akash1990 | I edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config and addeda line saying "MaxStartpus 100" since the default number of 10 connections was low for my usage. Now when I tried restarting sshd it gives an error "/etc/ssh/sshd_config line 70: Illegal MaxStartups spec." | 07:44 |

| ubottu | Lipu: To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/dns.html | 07:44 |
| jrib | akash1990: look at what you typed | 07:45 |
| meganerd | Lipu: you should be able to write "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to the /etc/resolve.conf | 07:45 |
| Lipu | ubottu: I am in client machine and when I connect with my office wireless network resolv.conf remain blank | 07:46 |
| ubottu | Lipu: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:46 |
| meganerd | Lipu: chances are there is something wrong with DHCP, or you have done some customizing (either in Network Manager or dhclient.conf), or you are not in fact successfully connected. | 07:46 |
| kamilnadeem | Hi | 07:47 |
| meganerd | Lipu: easy test is to ping or trace to 8.8.8.8 (one of Google's DNS servers that you can use) | 07:47 |
| Lipu | ubottu: it is possible to manually configure the resolv.conf and then it works well | 07:47 |
| kamilnadeem | on a freinds UBuntu 11.10 net isn;t working | 07:47 |
| kamilnadeem | although on his windows laptop it is for some reason? | 07:48 |
| meganerd | kamilnadeem: there could be many reasons | 07:48 |
| Lipu | meganerd: it cannot ping any name server(eg. google.com) but works when I use the IP Address(eg. 192.168.1.1 office network IP) | 07:49 |
| meganerd | can you ping or mtr to 8.8.8.8? | 07:49 |
| kamilnadeem | meganerd how do I help him | 07:50 |
| meganerd | kamilnadeem: can you be more specific? Wifi or lan is a good start | 07:50 |
| kamilnadeem | Wifi | 07:50 |
| meganerd | kamilnadeem: just a heads up, I am only here for a few more minutes. | 07:51 |
| kamilnadeem | Ok | 07:51 |
| meganerd | kamilnadeem: probably poorly or unsupported hardware | 07:51 |
| kamilnadeem | I havb ehim on call any info you want I can ask him | 07:51 |
| meganerd | kamilnadeem: so a laptop? | 07:51 |
| Lipu | meganerd: yes I can ping 8.8.8.8 but not google.com | 07:51 |
| kamilnadeem | Yeah | 07:51 |
| Lipu | meganerd: ping google.com | 07:52 |
| Lipu | ping: unknown host google.com | 07:52 |
| meganerd | Lipu: then put "nameserver 8.8.8.8" without the quotes into your /etc/resolv.conf | 07:52 |
| Lipu | If I manually write the nameserver and search and domain then it works well | 07:52 |
| meganerd | Lipu: if that works you need to figure out why it is not working automatically which depends on how you are connecting (wicd, Network Manager, some random script etc.) | 07:53 |
| Lipu | but my question is it should automatically resolve | 07:53 |

| Lipu | meganerd: yes | 07:55 |
| meganerd | Lipu: you probably have an error in there somewhere | 07:55 |
| meganerd | Lipu: you can always manually specify DNS settings in the interfaces file (dns-nameservers and dns-search options) | 07:56 |
| meganerd | Lipu: otherwise figure out what is going wrong with your dhcp client (dhclient, network manager, pump etc.) | 07:57 |
| meganerd | SSShvb: install openssh-server and then read up on it | 07:58 |
| Lipu | meganerd: I am actually need to know the cause for that problem. And it is not a fact for me to use the manual conf | 07:58 |
| SSShvb | thanks a lot | 07:58 |
| meganerd | Lipu: well knowing which dhcp client is a good start, also check /var/log/syslog | 07:59 |
| kamilnadeem | his call has disconnected | 07:59 |
| kamilnadeem | will check later thanks for help | 07:59 |
| meganerd | kamilnadeem: np, it is probably a broadcom based wifi card, they can be a pain | 07:59 |
| kamilnadeem | I have told him to check on the irc later here | 08:00 |
| kamilnadeem | if it not a hardware issue then he find a fix | 08:00 |
| meganerd | kamilnadeem: probably a driver problem | 08:00 |

| bazhang | ShadowFios, you changed the mirrors in accordance with eolupgrades? | 09:06 |
| bazhang | ShadowFios, then you need to sudo apt-get update | 09:06 |
| bazhang | lisaweinfurtner, also in lspci what is the ethernet controller and the wireless network card | 09:06 |
| Flexa | hey guys - how could I moitor my system over night for exmple or long periods of time. I need to be able to go back to yesterday for example and see exactly what was running and when. possibly to output htop to a file for logging or something? | 09:07 |

| Flexa | anyone?? ^^^ | 09:10 |
| bazhang | lisaweinfurtner, yes | 09:10 |
| lisaweinfurtner | no it isnt | 09:10 |
| bazhang | Flexa, patience | 09:10 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: use a pastebin and post your lspci | 09:11 |
| bazhang | lisaweinfurtner, well we'd need to see the output of lspci, copy paste, put on usb stick then bring to this computer and pastebin it | 09:11 |
| vamadir | Ping | 09:11 |
| gcbirzan | oh, no internet, duh | 09:12 |
| bazhang | vamadir, ubuntu support question? | 09:12 |
| ShadowFios | bazhang: if by mirriors you mean sources.list i cant change those even though im admin | 09:13 |
| bazhang | ShadowFios, you wish to upgrade from Hardy to what | 09:13 |
| lisaweinfurtner | can anyone give me the url to the pastbin site? | 09:13 |
| ShadowFios | in the end i want the latest | 09:13 |
| bazhang | paste.ubuntu.com lisaweinfurtner | 09:13 |
| livtyler | Flexa: http://www.nagios.com/solutions/linux-process-monitoring | 09:13 |
| vamadir | bazhang, only testing my phone | 09:13 |
| bazhang | vamadir, try #test for that | 09:14 |
| ShadowFios | bazhang: but with eol right now im trying for intrepid | 09:14 |
| vamadir | bazhang , stop troling | 09:14 |
| bazhang | ShadowFios, theres no point in that, intrepid is eol | 09:15 |
| bazhang | vamadir, wrong channel to test, that language is unnecessary as well | 09:15 |
| MonkeyDust | vamadir you're in the wrong channel for testing, better use #test | 09:15 |
| vamadir | I understand | 09:15 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: I told you to upgrade to 10.04 | 09:15 |
| ShadowFios | eolwants me to do it step by step and that was what you linked me to | 09:16 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: the wiki page has instructions for upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04 (they are both LTS) | 09:17 |
| bazhang | ShadowFios, 8.04---->10.04---in a few days---can ---> 112.04 | 09:17 |
| bazhang | -1 | 09:17 |
| jrib | bazhang: future man | 09:17 |
| bazhang | jrib, heh | 09:17 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: bazhang : can you link me | 09:17 |
| Flexa | livtyler i alredy have nagios runnig | 09:17 |

| Flexa | i need likt htop dumped to a file or something...? | 09:18 |
| Nikki_ | Hi! | 09:18 |
| livtyler | Flexa: then look for the correct template, there are hundreds of them | 09:19 |
| bazhang | !eolupgrades | ShadowFios | 09:19 |
| ubottu | ShadowFios: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 09:19 |
| Flexa | problem with nagios is i dont want to DOS the box but checking every 5 seconds may miss the precise error i am seeing in a log file | 09:19 |
| JermBob | hey how can i speed up transferrs over samba to windows ? | 09:20 |
| lisaweinfurtner | ok i have the output of lspci on this computer where can i paste it in? | 09:20 |
| gvo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 09:20 |
| bazhang | paste.ubuntu.com lisaweinfurtner | 09:20 |
| Nikki_ | Only 5 days until releasing Ubuntu LTS 12.04!!! | 09:20 |
| livtyler | Flexa: you could try #nagios | 09:20 |
| JermBob | 5 daysssssssssss | 09:21 |
| ShadowFios | ok i found the right page | 09:21 |
| JermBob | pooper | 09:21 |
| ShadowFios | thx guys | 09:21 |
| Nikki_ | [img]http://www.ubuntu.com/countdown/banner1.png[/img] | 09:21 |
| lizzin | i can't seem to find a good doc for getting 12.04 to recognize my tv connected via the mini display port on a mbp. what is the trick to getting this to work? | 09:21 |
| Flexa | is there no way to dump htop to a file? | 09:21 |
| lisaweinfurtner | http://paste.ubuntu.com/939411/ | 09:21 |
| bazhang | Nikki_, yes, no need to paste that | 09:21 |
| gvo | !12.04|lizzin | 09:21 |
| JermBob | lol | 09:21 |
| ubottu | lizzin: 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 | 09:21 |
| Nikki_ | OK. | 09:21 |
| CellTech | How come nothing ever works right in linux? | 09:21 |
| bazhang | lizzin, 12.04 in #ubuntu+1 | 09:21 |
| bazhang | CellTech, ask a real question | 09:21 |
| livtyler | Flexa: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/output-of-htop-in-a-file-874872/ | 09:22 |
| CellTech | That is a real question. I'm trying to get one of these useless messengers to activate the video chat features and they all either crash. Or do not work at all | 09:22 |
| bazhang | CellTech, that wont get any support. | 09:22 |
| bazhang | !work | CellTech | 09:22 |
| ubottu | CellTech: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 09:22 |
| jrib | CellTech: think of it this way: If you want actual help, ask an actual question | 09:22 |
| gcbirzan | I sit on IRC all day and want more money | 09:23 |
| lizzin | bazhang: happen to know how this would work in 11.10? | 09:23 |
| CellTech | Then how do I ask? How much more clear can I possibly say "No video chat features work". | 09:23 |
| iceroot | CellTech: usefull details | 09:23 |
| jrib | CellTech: you can be more specific... | 09:23 |
| CellTech | I have installed google talk video plug in. It crashes constantly. IT refuses to work at all in linux | 09:23 |
| CellTech | I have tried to instal the plug ins for pidgin, they do not work at all, they don't even show up | 09:24 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: ok i read the right upgrade page | 09:24 |
| iceroot | CellTech: and what does linux have to do with that? | 09:24 |
| livtyler | CellTech: what's the name of your internet provider? | 09:24 |
| gvo | CellTech: google's support forum has helped me in the past with linux issues. | 09:24 |
| CellTech | It would work flawlessly with windows but nothing like that ever works in linux | 09:25 |
| iceroot | CellTech: linux is just a kernel | 09:25 |
| CellTech | And I can't stand forums because all their full of is people arguing about things | 09:25 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: and it says that under softwae sources there is suppposed to be a "Show new distribution releases:" prompt when there isnt | 09:25 |
| lisaweinfurtner | does it work? http://paste.ubuntu.com/939411/ | 09:25 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: you there? | 09:27 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: there are two things you need to do first: 1) Make sure your options are set to check for LTS updates and 2) Make sure you are already up to date on your current release. Did you do these thing? | 09:27 |
| ShadowFios | 1) there isnt an option to only check for LTS releases 2) yes | 09:28 |
| === gnu is now known as Guest80598 | ||
| jrib | ShadowFios: where are you checking (1) exactly? | 09:28 |
| iceroot | CellTech: the main problem is that you are coming in this channel, flaming our system which we like and some spent a lot of time in it to improve it, instead of asking a usefull questions you are saying "in wi9ndows everything is fine, in linux its never working". do you really think that most of us spent then our time to help you? its always a good idea to post usefull questions, not flaming everything and then you will get use | 09:29 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: system->administration->software sources.update | 09:29 |
| livtyler | lisaweinfurtner: I don't see any wireless card there, however ethernel could be configured via Network Manager | 09:29 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: what's the output of lsb_release -c | 09:30 |
| livtyler | !networkmanager | lisaweinfurtner | 09:30 |
| ubottu | lisaweinfurtner: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 09:30 |
| CellTech | K. I get it. I'll switch back to windows. Thanks for trying but 90% of updates do nothing but slow things down. | 09:30 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: hardy | 09:30 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and the contents of every file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 09:31 |
| JermBob | hey whats apache2s default index.htm folder ? | 09:31 |
| JermBob | the it works one ? | 09:31 |
| ShadowFios | ubuntu pastebin or pastebin.com? | 09:31 |
| jrib | JermBob: default document root is /var/www | 09:31 |
| iceroot | JermBob: /var/www/ | 09:31 |
| JermBob | thanks | 09:31 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: doesn't matter | 09:31 |
| JermBob | thats the one | 09:31 |
| JermBob | :D | 09:31 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: 11.10? | 09:31 |
| lisaweinfurtner | so there is quoted that the conection had been used 40 minutes ago but i cant connenct with the internet.. | 09:31 |
| JermBob | thank you | 09:32 |
| lisaweinfurtner | think so.. | 09:32 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Is there a wireless adapter in that computer? | 09:33 |
| lisaweinfurtner | http://paste.ubuntu.com/939411/ | 09:33 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/939411/ | 09:33 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo nice to see you again btw :) | 09:33 |
| gvo | likewise lisaweinfurtner | 09:33 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: I saw it, but no wireless card is present. | 09:34 |
| lisaweinfurtner | ah alright: yeah wireless worked just fine with windows on this machine | 09:35 |
| simonp | what makes that only the 3 latest kernels are kept. Each times there's a new one, the older one get removed. | 09:35 |
| simonp | when you do yum update, that is | 09:35 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: It may be a usb card. Can you get us the output of lshw as root? | 09:35 |
| bazhang | simonp, yum is in fedora | 09:35 |
| lisaweinfurtner | jsut a minute | 09:35 |
| bazhang | lisaweinfurtner, sudo lshw | 09:36 |
| simonp | bazhang: i know ; ) but where does the policy of 3 latest kernels comes from and where is it enforced? | 09:36 |
| linuxuz3r | !opengl | 09:36 |
| linuxuz3r | how do i install opengl dev in 11.10 | 09:37 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Do you have an ethernet cable plugged in to the laptop? | 09:37 |
| simonp | bazhang: i would have expected to see something in /etc/yum.conf or /etc/yum/ | 09:37 |
| simonp | bazhang: doh, wrong window! ; ) | 09:37 |
| bazhang | simonp, try #fedora for yum | 09:37 |
| gogeta | yum lol | 09:38 |
| linuxuz3r | @opengl | 09:38 |
| lisaweinfurtner | here we go http://paste.ubuntu.com/939418/ | 09:38 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Also what's the laptop model? | 09:38 |
| gogeta | lisaweinfurtner: so the cards present and trying to connect just failing | 09:38 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo yes it is plugged in | 09:38 |
| gogeta | lisaweinfurtner: if you have mac filters on it may be locking you | 09:39 |
| gogeta | locking | 09:39 |
| lisaweinfurtner | hp compaq 6735s | 09:39 |
| gogeta | blocking jeez | 09:39 |
| lisaweinfurtner | no mac filters configured in the router | 09:39 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: http://pastebin.com/fEb9NbDJ | 09:40 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: do you have ~/.update-manager-core/ ? | 09:40 |
| gvo | bazhang: Turn off autoneg and set half duplex for lisaweinfurtner ?? | 09:41 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: my guess is that this is because you are using hardy-dell-mini instead of "hardy" | 09:41 |
| livtyler | linuxuz3r: try Mesa3D | 09:41 |
| bazhang | gvo, I dont see wireless nic there | 09:42 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: its hidden and empty but yes | 09:42 |
| gogeta | gvo: humm the card seems to be respondig its just not getting a ip from the sounds of it | 09:42 |
| gvo | gogeta: strange. | 09:43 |
| gvo | bazhang: I don't either. | 09:43 |
| gogeta | gvo: for wired it is odd | 09:43 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/103814/how-can-i-upgrade-my-dell-mini-from-version-8-04 | 09:43 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: im on an inspirion mini | 09:43 |
| saruji | hello room, question, what do you guys think is/was the best chipset ever made for ubuntu was (compatibility wise) | 09:43 |
| ShadowFios | oh | 09:44 |
| gogeta | saruji: intel lol | 09:44 |
| saruji | gogeta: which which variation? | 09:44 |
| gogeta | saruji: all of them | 09:44 |
| livtyler | !best | saruji | 09:44 |
| ubottu | saruji: 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. | 09:44 |
| gogeta | saruji: they activly make oss drivers | 09:44 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: I'm still researching... | 09:45 |
| lisaweinfurtner | yeah thanks | 09:45 |
| Flexa | anyoe know a good tool to monitor process' overnight for example? need to know an htop like output for a prolonged period of time, not nagios. | 09:46 |
| saruji | I am asking about chipset compatibility here, but ok gogeta, so you think all of them equally? thinking about getting a 775 motherboard, so hands down best idea would be an x48? | 09:46 |
| bazhang | saruji, no polling here, thanks | 09:46 |
| saruji | wowza ok | 09:46 |
| bazhang | !hcl | saruji | 09:46 |
| ubottu | saruji: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 09:46 |
| gogeta | saruji: lol relly any cpu chipset is going to work well | 09:46 |
| saruji | alright, hostile ubuntu room | 09:47 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: dell sucks they didnt even tell me it was custom | 09:47 |
| lisaweinfurtner | how can i send a message to somewone that his name shows up in front of my message like you guys do all the time? | 09:47 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: yeah I don't know what exactly is custom | 09:47 |
| linuxuz3r | !MESA3D | 09:47 |
| iceroot | lisaweinfurtner: enter the first letters of the name and press TAB | 09:47 |
| gogeta | lisaweinfurtner: just are name and tab dont even need to type all of it | 09:47 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gogeta: thanks :) | 09:47 |
| ubuntu | hi | 09:48 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: you have a wireless button, is it on? Lit? | 09:48 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: well now im going to do all that stuff they said in the forum after what is it 7 hours straight of trying to update and failing | 09:48 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: essentially it amounts to backing up, creating a usb disk using unetbootin, and then doing a fresh install | 09:49 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: i think its off. it lid yellow and normaly it was blue. if i pres it, nothing happens | 09:49 |
| gogeta | ShadowFios: at that point why not just fresh install it :) | 09:49 |
| jrib | ShadowFios: good luck :) | 09:49 |
| ShadowFios | jrib: thx | 09:49 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: During boot did it flash? | 09:50 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: i try it out | 09:50 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Are you dual booting? | 09:50 |
| vageesh | hi can anyone suggest how to increase battery life in Ubuntu? I am using version 10.10 on a dell xps laptop | 09:50 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: no i dont. ubuntu is the only os on the maschine | 09:50 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: OK | 09:51 |
| fidel | vageesh: got an xps aswell - disabling a active gfx saved me some battery | 09:51 |
| gogeta | vega-: just your standerd tatics low britness wifi off | 09:51 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: no the wireless button didnt lid during the boot process | 09:51 |
| vageesh | fidel : can you tell me how you did that? | 09:51 |
| fidel | only partly unfortunalty - i first installed the humbleblee drivers which are made for optimus | 09:52 |
| livtyler | lisaweinfurtner: sudo rfkill list | 09:52 |
| vageesh | fidel: ok | 09:53 |
| fidel | then i checked the boot-process and tinkered around until the nv-chip wasnt used anymore- that second step is not really good in my memories | 09:53 |
| fidel | but it was a remarkable battery saver | 09:53 |
| gogeta | vega-: the next ubuntu does have better power magment thers a bug in older kernels that use 30% more power then they should in some cases | 09:53 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Hm | 09:53 |
| vageesh | gogeta: ok | 09:53 |
| fidel | vageesh: this makes for sure only sense if you dont need the nv-gfx power in linux | 09:53 |
| williamdoors | I am running a webmin on on my ubuntu box - I would like to use webmin to point to another server which is on a private IP (same subnet) sitting right next to the ubuntu server. Whats the best way to do this? | 09:54 |
| vageesh | fidel: i hardly use it so i guess i will try that | 09:54 |
| lisaweinfurtner | wireless lan: soft block: yes, hard block: yes | 09:54 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Run sudo lshw again, and look for Broadcom or wireless in the output. You don't need to paste it. If you don't see it, then press the wireless button and repeat. | 09:55 |
| MonkeyDust | !webmin| williamdoors | 09:55 |
| ubottu | williamdoors: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 09:55 |
| livtyler | lisaweinfurtner: sudo rfkill unblock all | 09:55 |
| fidel | vageesh: i messed around with powertop aswell afaik | 09:55 |
| williamdoors | it works fine for me, all i want to know is how to point to the machine beside it | 09:55 |
| lisaweinfurtner | livtyler: did it, and now? | 09:55 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: i try it | 09:55 |
| livtyler | lisaweinfurtner: the wifi is on? | 09:56 |
| diverdude | Hello, i have a camcorder which produces MTL files. How do i convert those to normal viewable videofiles? | 09:56 |
| gogeta | vega-: or do what i did | 09:56 |
| gogeta | vega-: bigger battery lol | 09:56 |
| gvo | livtyler: Probably doesn't have rfkill installed. | 09:56 |
| lisaweinfurtner | livtyler: oh yes it is! | 09:56 |
| MonkeyDust | diverdude try devede, it can handle most video files | 09:56 |
| gogeta | vega-: i got a massiv 8 cell in this little netbook i get like 8 hrs | 09:56 |
| gvo | livtyler: Her wireless card doesn't show up in lspci or lshw. | 09:56 |
| vageesh | gogeta: lol .. true | 09:56 |
| diverdude | MonkeyDust: thx, ill try it | 09:57 |
| williamdoors | no one knows? | 09:57 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: What kind of system are you connecting with? Win or Mac? | 09:57 |
| gogeta | vageesh: remeber when dell used to let you use a extra battery in place of the dvd drive i wuld get like 5 hrs ff my dual battery c610 | 09:58 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: my system here is macos | 09:58 |
| gogeta | vageesh: for the day that was alot | 09:58 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: So did you find a wireless card? | 09:59 |
| vageesh | gogeta: 5 hours.. that is huge | 09:59 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: still looking... | 09:59 |
| gogeta | vageesh: i wonde if the xps has a dual battery option | 10:00 |
| fidel | gogeta: but the c610 is a completly different machine - isnt it pretty old? which makes comparing it to an xps pretty hard or am i wrong? | 10:00 |
| gogeta | fidel: the power useage is around the same | 10:00 |
| vageesh | gogeta: that option is still there | 10:00 |
| === mrJack is now known as mrjack | ||
| fidel | vageesh: not using the nv-chip and adding some other tricks gave me around 4,5 hr with the xps15z and the default battery | 10:01 |
| oCean | fidel, gogeta, please use ##hardware for hardware discussions, this channel is for ubuntu support only | 10:01 |
| gogeta | vageesh: there ya go toss 2 massiv battterys in there | 10:01 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: no there is nothing | 10:01 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: maybe it would be a good idea to get the ethernet running before looking after the wlan card, dont you think? | 10:02 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: OK well let's try to get the hardwired port working. Do an sudo ifconfig -a and look at the line after eth0 Link encap..... | 10:03 |
| gcbirzan | It's definitely easier. | 10:03 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: does that second line begin with inet addr: ... | 10:03 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: no it dosnt | 10:04 |
| oCean | !rootirc > root | 10:04 |
| ubottu | root, please see my private message | 10:04 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: UP packets:0.... | 10:04 |
| === root is now known as Guest2485 | ||
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: but the second line of lo starts with a inet addr:127..... | 10:04 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Don't worry about lo, it's always there. on your mac bring up a terminal window and type ifconfig -a | 10:05 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: bear with me, I don't know much about macs. I'm guessing ifconfig is there. | 10:06 |
| Flexa | anyone know how to dump/record output of htop? :/ | 10:06 |
| gcbirzan | What does it matter what IP the mac has? | 10:06 |
| gvo | I'm trying to figure out what her network address is so I can set an ip address on her eth0 port. | 10:07 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: it is | 10:07 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: so what information do you need from that? | 10:07 |
| gcbirzan | It should work with DHCP, doubt the mac has a static IP | 10:07 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: OK do you know what ip range the DHCP is using? | 10:07 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: You have a router, yes? And your mac and Ubuntu computers are connected to it | 10:08 |
| lisaweinfurtner | no the mac connects automatically and at the moments its just connected via wlan because i just have one wire | 10:08 |
| gcbirzan | ah | 10:08 |
| gcbirzan | and your wire is in the ubuntu computer? | 10:08 |
| lisaweinfurtner | yes but its not needed there at the moment | 10:08 |
| lisaweinfurtner | i can change it to the mac | 10:08 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: I need the IP adress | 10:08 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: ok | 10:08 |
| gvo | gcbirzan: Obviously she isn't getting dhcp, so I want to try to get her connected to the lan. | 10:09 |
| gcbirzan | well, no. the point was to get the Ubuntu computer running on the wired network, so it is needed on the ubuntu machine. just do sudo ifdown eth0; ifup eth0, with the cable plugged in, it should most likely get you an IP address | 10:09 |
| gvo | It it doesn't come up at boot time, that won't do squat, most likely. | 10:10 |
| gvo | I agree it should but it isn't. | 10:10 |
| fredrik_ | I just unpacked a tgz file that contained a bunch of php files. After eatch filename there is a asterix-star. The file name is green and the star is white... What does the star meen? | 10:10 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Give gcbirzan | 10:10 |
| gvo | s | 10:10 |
| gcbirzan | unless you plug in the cable after it booted. because dhclient is crap | 10:10 |

| ryanyeah | as someone who wants to back up content between drives, is a viable option to use rsync rather than setting up a RAID? | 10:16 |
| oCean | ryanyeah: raid is not a backup | 10:16 |
| lisaweinfurtner | net 192.168.178.58 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.178.255 | 10:16 |
| gogeta | oCean: depends on the raid | 10:16 |
| oCean | gogeta: no | 10:17 |
| gcbirzan | well, depends on what you want the backup for. | 10:17 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: now do sudo ifconfig -a | 10:17 |
| gogeta | oCean: some raid do full copys | 10:17 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: on the mac or ubuntu? | 10:17 |
| gcbirzan | gogeta: That only protects you from drive failure, though | 10:17 |
| ryanyeah | oCean: ok... by backup i mean keep 2 copies of the same thing (no interest in having access to previous files). and i assume it'd be raid1 | 10:17 |
| gvo | See if you have an ip addr l line on ubuntu | 10:17 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: no there is no such line | 10:18 |
| gogeta | gcbirzan: just depends on witch you use i think 11 is the all out backup style | 10:18 |
| oCean | ryanyeah: rsync is a utility to create copies/backups. Raid is for redundant setup of your disks. RAID0 is a stripe, RAID1 is a mirror, but there are several setups | 10:18 |
| gcbirzan | gogeta: Again, RAID only protects you against drive failure. Human error (quite common), app problems, driver problems and OS problems will still screw you up. | 10:18 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Did you get a message back from ubuntu when you entered that ifconfig eth0 192... command? | 10:18 |
| Flexa | ffs people - | 10:19 |
| Flexa | anyone know how to dump/record output of htop? :/ | 10:19 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: i entered no such command should I? | 10:19 |
| jrib | Flexa: no need for the "ffs people -" | 10:19 |
| oCean | gogeta: RAID setup itself will not give you access to previous versions of your files, backups will | 10:19 |
| jrib | Flexa: in any case, why don't you use top? | 10:19 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Yes I said that a few messages ag | 10:20 |
| Flexa | jribbeause htop is a better tool | 10:20 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: sorry maybe i didn't get that because i disconected a few times for changing the wire | 10:20 |
| Flexa | top would do though - | 10:20 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Try this sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.178.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 up | 10:20 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: On ubuntu with the wire connected. | 10:21 |
| jrib | Flexa: so much better that you can't grab it's output :) I agree that htop is better for interactive use but if you just want to save something to text I don't see what the benefit of using htop would be | 10:21 |
| jrib | s/'// | 10:21 |
| gogeta | oCean: thats what snapshotting is for | 10:21 |
| tokk | I'm looking for a solution for pdf annotations. Okular pretty much does what I want, but stores the annotations in ~ instead of in the pdf. Google says evince supports annotations, but I don't see how (there is no "Add text annotation" button where it is supposed to be). Alternatives? | 10:21 |
| shiva | iam using ubuntu 10.04 thru Virtual machine but iam not getting my all other drives??? | 10:21 |
| ryanyeah | oCean: raid1 would make 2 copies of the file. if i had 2 hard drives and rsync content over to another drive each night, wouldn't that be a similar solution? could also mean i could choose with directories to create a copy of | 10:21 |
| oCean | ryanyeah: yep, raid will do a full mirror, rsync provides more flexibility | 10:21 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: brb | 10:22 |
| gogeta | ryanyeah: lots of ways raids lvm rsync | 10:22 |
| oCean | ryanyeah: but, between rsync runs, you are not mirroring, whereas a raid1 is constantly mirroring | 10:22 |
| shiva | ? | 10:22 |
| bekks | raid does NOT protect you from logical errors. | 10:22 |
| shiva | ? | 10:23 |
| shiva | ? | 10:23 |
| shiva | ? | 10:23 |
| bekks | Accidentally deleting a file will delete it on both disks, using a RAID. | 10:23 |
| FloodBot1 | shiva: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:23 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: ok i didn't get a return message but ifconfig shows now the inet line. though inet is still not working | 10:23 |
| gogeta | good point | 10:23 |
| ryanyeah | oCean: i see what you mean. i guess the purpose of this for me personally, would be to back up photos, large person files etc. and there wouldn't really be a problem if one copy was up to 24 hours out of date, as i don't create lots of content in a day | 10:23 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: If you run ip li sh dev eth0, does that line contain NO-CARRIER? | 10:24 |
| bekks | ryanyeah: For a home based backup, you better off using rsync. | 10:24 |
| oCean | !backup | ryanyeah there are several ways to backup, but in this case rsync might be your solution | 10:24 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: (on the Ubuntu machine) | 10:24 |
| ubottu | ryanyeah there are several ways to backup, but in this case rsync might be your solution: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 10:24 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: yes | 10:24 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: Try ping 192.168.178.58 | 10:24 |
| gogeta | bekks: i had good luck with lvm on my servers :) bt even if the blew up i had another machine that could take over | 10:25 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: ... Host Unreachable | 10:25 |
| shiva | Iam using ubuntu 10.xx through virtual machine but my other drives are not mounted pls help me ??? | 10:25 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: gcbirzan has the answer. | 10:25 |
| bekks | gogeta: LVM implements a logical mirror, so logical error will be propagated onto all mirror disks. | 10:25 |
| bekks | gogeta: Thats all, but not a backup. | 10:26 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: I assume he was the one you answered with "yes" | 10:26 |
| amanATdesk | hi, I'm using Gnome 3 with Ubuntu 11.10 and I've recently begun to experience memory allocation problems when running multiple apps. | 10:26 |

| gogeta | bekks: so i could repair the error | 10:27 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: ah sorry | 10:27 |
| guest_ | hi. i installed x3 in wine. it started. next i closed it. now how can i start it again? where is the "installed icon" and the files in wine? | 10:27 |
| amanATdesk | I'm wondering if anyone's got tips on how to clear out cache and to generally make more efficient use of memory | 10:27 |
| shiva | pls help me ? | 10:27 |
| amanATdesk | I have 4gb of RAM | 10:27 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gcbirzan: yes it shows nocarrier | 10:27 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: Is the cable plugged in? | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | amanATdesk try sudo apt-get autormeove; sudo apt-get clean | 10:28 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gcbirzan: yes it is | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | amanATdesk try sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo apt-get clean | 10:28 |
| gcbirzan | amanATdesk: Why would you want to clear the cache? | 10:28 |
| ryanyeah | ubotto: thanks for the link. although quick question: if one directory's files hasn't changed since the last time rsync was run, does it still copy anything over? and is it incremental if only some files are changed | 10:28 |
| amanATdesk | MonkeyDust, what does that 'autoremove'? | 10:28 |
| gogeta | gcbirzan: we have been trying to figure out her issue for a wile now card works no ip both wired and wireless | 10:28 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: Where is it plugged in, on the other side? | 10:28 |
| gcbirzan | other end, rather | 10:28 |
| livtyler | tokk: I like Xournal | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | amanATdesk remove useless packages or dependencies | 10:28 |
| amanATdesk | gcbirzan, just thinking that there might be files in cache that are no longer necessary (happens a lot with windows) | 10:28 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gcbirzan: in the router. the caple works with my mac... | 10:29 |
| gcbirzan | amanATdesk: What kind of cache are you talking about? | 10:29 |
| oCean | amanATdesk: no, Linux handles memory usage very efficient. | 10:29 |
| amanATdesk | MonkeyDust, would that result in freeing up more memory? | 10:29 |
| oCean | !ram | amanATdesk | 10:29 |
| ubottu | amanATdesk: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 10:29 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: sudo ip link set dev eth0 up | 10:29 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: When you plug it into the router, does the LED there light up? | 10:29 |
| MonkeyDust | amanATdesk also, you can boot in recovery mode and free memory | 10:30 |
| oCean | MonkeyDust: what? | 10:30 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gcbirzan: no... | 10:30 |
| gcbirzan | That won't matter, no-carrier means there's no carrier. if you set the interface down, it won't change that | 10:30 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: And it does when you do it for the mac, I assume? | 10:30 |
| amanATdesk | gcbirzan, I'm thinking for applications like nautilus and browsers etc... nautilus seems to slow down quite a bit and become unstable (if I open 7-8 directories/network locations simultaneously, it often falls over)... | 10:30 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gcbirzan: yes | 10:31 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gvo: doesnt work, still. | 10:31 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: gcbirzan wow. I'm confused. | 10:31 |
| gcbirzan | amanATdesk: That might be a nautilus thing | 10:31 |
| aziz__ | hello | 10:31 |
| oCean | amanATdesk: using "top" you can sort programs by memory usage. | 10:31 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: Hm. What model of network card do you have, and what kernel? (uname -a for the kernel version) | 10:31 |
| elspuddy | hi, any one know how i can zip/rar a folder say every 3-5 hours ? | 10:31 |
| bekks | By using a cron job. | 10:32 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: uname -a is going to say something like "Linux cristi-pc 3.3.0-rc6-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 5 20:53:11 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux", I just need the 3.3.0-rc6-amd64 part | 10:32 |
| dr_willis | !cron | 10:32 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto | 10:32 |
| gogeta | gcbirzan: card works under windows | 10:32 |
| amanATdesk | oCean, I tried that and I see little actual usage of RAM at the moment, though sometimes it does show a lot being used | 10:32 |
| gvo | gcbirzan: 88E8042 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller Marvel | 10:32 |
| gcbirzan | gogeta: Yes, but if the driver doesn't work, some cards won't detect the Link | 10:32 |
| elspuddy | thanks : | 10:32 |
| oCean | amanATdesk: probably filesystem cache, as explained in the link ubottu send you | 10:32 |
| gcbirzan | happened to my realtek one on this very computer | 10:32 |
| gogeta | gcbirzan: mmaybe but shes failing on both styes | 10:32 |
| gogeta | wireless to | 10:33 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gcbirzan: linux laptop 3.0.0-12-generic 20-ubuntu smp fri oct 7 14:56:25 utc 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LINUX | 10:33 |
| gvo | Can't even see the wireless card. | 10:33 |
| amanATdesk | I am worried about RAM because I occasionally get "Cannot Allocate Memory" errors when trying to launch apps when other things are running... I know I have a lot of stuff running on my system, but I have always had Linux running this heavy in the past without such issues. | 10:33 |
| gogeta | gvo: ah | 10:33 |
| amanATdesk | oCean, I'll look into that thanks/ | 10:34 |
| gogeta | amanATdesk: you forget swap | 10:34 |
| amanATdesk | .* | 10:34 |
| gogeta | amanATdesk: and i never had that issue even with 1gb ram no swap | 10:34 |
| amanATdesk | gogeta, ? do you mean that I forgot to allocate swap? | 10:34 |
| gogeta | amanATdesk: maybe | 10:34 |
| gogeta | amanATdesk: just a error i never saw even with little ram | 10:35 |
| dr_willis | you can always make a swap file. if you dident make a swap partition. | 10:35 |
| gvo | lisaweinfurtner: try this: lsmod | grep sky2 | 10:37 |
| gcbirzan | It should be sk98lin I thought | 10:37 |
| gcbirzan | oh, sky2 is an alternative driver | 10:37 |
| gvo | I think that's been replaced | 10:37 |
| gogeta | dr_willis: the dam servers hear keep melting lol | 10:37 |
| gcbirzan | Dunno, it's been a while since I had to use a marvel card :P | 10:38 |
| gogeta | dr_willis: setting off the fire alam quite annoying | 10:38 |
| gcbirzan | She can try both, I guess. | 10:38 |
| lisaweinfurtner | how can i write this dash between lsmod and grep? | 10:38 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: it's generally shift + \ | 10:38 |
| gcbirzan | though, depends on your mapping | 10:38 |
| dr_willis | lisaweinfurtner: the | ? thats above my return key | 10:38 |
| lisaweinfurtner | hm i have a german keyboard here | 10:39 |
| amanATdesk | gogeta, well until recently (a month ago), I'd never had a single "cannot allocate memory" error either, though I've always run ubuntu with 4gb RAM, I run it with maybe 6-8 browser tabs in Chrome, 10-14 in Firefox, Gedit with 6-7 files open, 2-3 instances of terminal, banshee, inkscape and 5-6 directories ... all running on-top of whatever system processes are on-going (including Apache, MySQL Server and PHP5) | 10:39 |
| bekks | lisaweinfurtner: the | is the key right of the left shift key. | 10:39 |
| amanATdesk | this is the first time I've experienced memory issues with any kind of Linux. | 10:39 |
| gogeta | amanATdesk: bug maybe | 10:40 |
| The_Outsider | lisaweinfurtner: Alt Gr+the key where you have < and > signs | 10:40 |
| dr_willis | might be worth running a memtest for a few hrs also. | 10:40 |
| amanATdesk | dr_willis, I'll give that a go. | 10:41 |
| lisaweinfurtner | hm nothing works | 10:41 |
| lisaweinfurtner | ah ok got it | 10:41 |
| bekks | amanATdesk: Sounds more like a memory leak in some app. | 10:41 |
| lisaweinfurtner | alt gr not alt + gr | 10:41 |
| lisaweinfurtner | sorry | 10:41 |
| osse | I decided I'd give zsh a chance. To that end I moved my .bashrc and .profile out of the way. Then I found my launchers I made in ~/.local/usr/applications won't work because my ~/bin wasn't in my $PATH. I guess there are other stuff that source ~/.profile other than shells? OR what is going on? | 10:41 |
| dr_willis | linux - helping you use all those keys - that you never knew what they were for, | 10:41 |
| firdaus | sdfdfds | 10:41 |
| firdaus | fdnsdnfsd | 10:42 |
| bekks | osse: You dont have to touch .bashrc and .profile when using another shell. | 10:42 |
| effchen_bone | hi | 10:42 |
| amanATdesk | bekks, hmm, if that's the case then wouldn't it show up in 'top' when I order by memory usage? | 10:42 |
| lisaweinfurtner | lsmod returns sky2 (in red) 58674 0 | 10:42 |
| effchen_bone | need help, i ve got a thinkpad x121e and wlan is not working with ubuntu | 10:42 |
| osse | bekks, yeah I moved .profile back into place to set my $PATH straight. | 10:42 |
| delusr | Good day does anyone know of a good full disk encryption guide using LVM LUKS that explains how to go placing the /boot partition onto a USB? I use to use an app at lfde.org but that site has gone. | 10:42 |
| effchen_bone | what to do??? | 10:42 |
| osse | bekks, whas just wondering what sourced it in the first place | 10:43 |
| gogeta | delusr: would just be a matter of puting gub2 on usb | 10:43 |
| gcbirzan | lisaweinfurtner: If you run modprobe sk98lin, do you get an error? | 10:43 |
| gogeta | delusr: alng with /boot | 10:43 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gcbirzan: yes, FATA: Module sk98lin not found | 10:44 |
| lisaweinfurtner | gcbirzan: *FATAL | 10:44 |
| gogeta | delusr: the installer can do that by defult now | 10:44 |
| bekks | The sk98lin was removed from kernel in 2.6.23, wasnt it? | 10:45 |
| oCean | amanATdesk: you should definitely see the results of stopping/starting applications in both top and the "free" command. | 10:45 |
| gogeta | delusr: then just do your standerd lvm setup | 10:45 |
| gcbirzan | So much for that idea. | 10:45 |
| oCean | amanATdesk: what is the output of the free command? (don't paste here please) | 10:46 |
| amanATdesk | oCean, I'm going to check that out by killing the process and running top and free -m, before and afterwards | 10:46 |
| oCean | amanATdesk: yep, that is the way to go | 10:46 |
| oCean | amanATdesk: but if this suddenly started, a memtest is a good idea too | 10:46 |
| amanATdesk | oCean, k, I'll read up on memtest and run it too | 10:47 |

| thedoors | gogeta? | 10:58 |
| gogeta | thedoors: wouldent you use 2 ips and some sort of load balance to redirect | 10:58 |
| thedoors | i have no idea thats why i am asking | 10:58 |
| thedoors | gogeta the 2nd machine is on an internal IP | 10:59 |

| CamC | ubuntu 10.4 php 5.2.10 | 11:00 |
| CamC | sorry php 5.2.9 | 11:01 |
| theadmin | CamC: Is your Apache setup configured to load mcrypt correctly? | 11:03 |
| CamC | not sure, what should I be looking for? | 11:03 |
| theadmin | CamC: Eh, never mind, seems it's a PHP-only thing, nothing to do with apache. Then I don't know, never mind. | 11:04 |
| CamC | after checking on google I was told to add "/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini" | 11:04 |
| CamC | it has something to do with apache | 11:04 |
| CamC | anyway, I added this line "extension=php_mcrypt.so" to php.ini and now I get 2 errors at apache startup | 11:05 |
| CamC | php_mycrypt.so cannot be located anywhere on my system | 11:06 |

| Mayazcherquoi | In Windows I never had this problem. | 11:07 |
| CamC | bekks I use sudo locate mcrypt.so | 11:07 |

| somersb3 | theadmin, tried sakura - no luck. same defect | 12:45 |

| Trieste | does anybody know what kernel version does 11.04 have? | 12:47 |
| mkultra_ | im pretty sure that 11.04 is 3 series of kernels | 12:48 |
| shredding | I'm really new to ubuntu/linux/vim so: Am I doing something wrong or have i to install something? | 12:48 |
| mkultra_ | it might be a 2.6, 10.10 is 2.6 | 12:48 |
| Trieste | mkultra_: how come? | 12:48 |
| Zoffix | shredding, you might have better luck in #vim | 12:48 |
| mkultra_ | they switched kernels | 12:48 |
| MonkeyDust | Trieste type uname -a to find out | 12:48 |

| Zoffix | sambagirl, people who ask vim questions I mean. | 12:49 |
| oCean | Zoffix, no need for the /me messages here, thanks | 12:49 |
| MonkeyDust | Zoffix what's wrong with vim? | 12:50 |
| sambagirl | what is vim though zoffix? | 12:50 |
| Zoffix | MonkeyDust, I used it maybe twice. Don't really know what's wrong with it...TBH | 12:50 |
| Zoffix | sambagirl, an editor | 12:50 |
| mkultra_ | its a command line text editor | 12:50 |
| mkultra_ | like pico / nano | 12:51 |
| sambagirl | nevermind it's a text editor | 12:51 |
| sambagirl | like vi i suppose | 12:51 |
| sambagirl | looked at wiki | 12:51 |
| abhisinghal | what does mandb do?? | 12:51 |
| MonkeyDust | abhisinghal manual database, maybe | 12:51 |
| sambagirl | run it and see | 12:52 |
| abhisinghal | it has removed old database entries sambagirl | 12:52 |
| sambagirl | vim looks a lot like vi except it has colors | 12:53 |
| bekks | vi can have colors too, iirc. | 12:53 |
| MonkeyDust | sambagirl vim = vi improved | 12:53 |

| rabbi1 | my rhythmbox icon missing from "notification area" how to add back ? | 12:53 |
| MonkeyDust | rabbi1 you can't, i tried it too | 12:54 |
| === CamC_ is now known as CamC | ||
| rabbi1 | MonkeyDust: reinstalling rhythmbox will do ? | 12:55 |
| MonkeyDust | rabbi1 no, tried that too | 12:55 |
| Zoffix | So, I'll reask my last night's question: during installation, being bored, I clicked "High contrast" (on the icon, top right). After that it apparently crashed and I sat through the rest of my install with giant fonts and icons. Now, I am on the installed system, but Ubuntu decided to try to be smart and enabled "high contrast" theme by default it seems. After playing with settings I got my fonts normal, but my cursors are still giant. I can't f | 12:56 |
| Zoffix | ind where to change the cursors. Any help? | 12:56 |
| somersb3 | theadmin, it is OK with xterm :) | 12:56 |
| theadmin | somersb3: Hm, so it IS a vte bug, but in both versions... Well, I suggest you try something like, uh, rxvt then | 12:56 |
| rabbi1 | MonkeyDust: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=227261 check the reply from leadgolem\ | 12:58 |
| MonkeyDust | rabbi1 that's fedora | 13:00 |
| rabbi1 | MonkeyDust: yeah, but i was able to get the icon, but not staying at the place, its much to do with rhythmbox i guess | 13:00 |
| MonkeyDust | rabbi1 maybe it's solved in 12.04 | 13:01 |
| somersb3 | theadmin, is there any way to find all terminal packages in xbuntu that do not depend on vte ? | 13:01 |
| rabbi1 | MonkeyDust: again, its with Fedora also, so not much to do with OS. I had no problem before, but i started my system after a long time. caught up with this | 13:02 |
| theadmin | somersb3: I don't think there is a sane way to do so, sorry | 13:02 |

| Zoffix | I'm installing a box for my dad, and have to switch to KDE probably... There's no way a Windows n00b can't get around Unity. | 13:06 |
| slikts_ | what's the point of telling me something that I see | 13:06 |
| theadmin | kwtm: 7zip is opensource: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z920.tar.bz2 | 13:07 |
| kwtm | theadmin: Thanks! In general, though, how do I find the source? | 13:07 |
| Zoffix | slikts_, I meant they aren't thinkin' haha | 13:07 |
| theadmin | kwtm: Well, "apt-get source PACKAGE" downloads the source-code for PACKAGE into the current directory, if available. | 13:07 |
| theadmin | kwtm: (given you have the deb-src repos enabled) | 13:08 |
| kwtm | theadmin: Ah, I see. Thx. I wonder if there is a "don't really do it --I just want to check if it would work" flag? | 13:08 |

| GhostWolf | ubuntu12.04LTS is coming! | 13:09 |
| kwtm | slikts_: I'm sure "W T F" stands for "Why That's Fantastic!" :) Yeah, I agree, Canonical has been going downhill. They think they're the most popular Linux distro now so they get to tell users what they want. Fail! Canonical != Microsoft | 13:09 |
| rabbi1 | MonkeyDust: that can't be, may be its lost, get that plugin | 13:09 |
| oCean | GhostWolf: yes, discussion for that in #ubuntu+1, not here | 13:09 |

| kwtm | Zoffix: :( Are you on KDE? I'm thinking of Mint. | 13:11 |
| slikts_ | kwtm: it was really bad when 11.04 came out, what with severe, sever bugs in the most basic functionality like window switching, but I thought they had learned and that it had gotten better... BUT NOW THEY BREAK BASIC WINDOW RESIZING muhaha | 13:11 |
| mkultra_ | lol | 13:11 |
| oCean | slikts_: do you have an actual support question, or did you just came to rant? | 13:11 |
| mkultra_ | its way broken for me | 13:11 |
| kwtm | slikts_: I'm hoping that they'll be a bit more conservative with LTS additions, but you probably know that they're not treating KDE people nicely. But, hey, they're not biased, now they're giving the same crummy treatment to GNOME users! ha ha ha | 13:12 |
| mkultra_ | i have mint xfce debian edition on a flash key if it gets worse | 13:12 |

| oCean | slikts_: then ask a actual question. Continue the rants and you'll find yourself outside the channel | 13:12 |
| Zoffix | kwtm, I was on Gnome in 10.04, but they did all the stupid changes, like moving the back/forward buttons in nautilus to the RIGHT and removing the "Up" button altogether. Why make such change? I have no idea. | 13:12 |
| slikts_ | oCean: *an actual | 13:13 |
| AngrySpam | Ok so i need hellp watching youtube lol. | 13:13 |
| Zoffix | kwtm, and with KDE I was unable to use dual monitor setup, it doesn't seem to be able to handle that. | 13:13 |
| deb0 | I can't resize the windows at all anymore in beta. Only the title area works for that. | 13:13 |
| oCean | deb0: beta is offtopic anyway for this channel | 13:13 |
| mkultra_ | my glx gears speed is 6 fps, but i can watch youtube fine | 13:13 |
| kwtm | Zoffix: KDE can do dual, but it takes a lot of fiddling around, and I agree, not worthwhile. How's Bodhi? Debian based or something else? | 13:13 |
| AngrySpam | It(the computer) says i have that adobe flash thing, and i have gnash swf player installed(so it says) but i cant watch any videos | 13:13 |
| slikts_ | deb0: I tried beta, saw the resizing problems and went with "stable"… only to find the same issue | 13:13 |

It's basically your regular Ubuntu with most packages not installed by default, and with Enlightenment window manager. Enlightenment is still pre-release though, so it might not be as stable; but I haven't had any major issues with it though.

| duncan-nz | rafikson, (back again) what have you tried so far? | 14:50 |
| rafikson | I Tried Changing Software On Sound Propethies | 14:51 |
| mephisto_ | In that case try this link | 14:51 |
| oCean | Guest57745: you were shrinking it while it was running? And is it currently still mounted? | 14:51 |

| duncan-nz | rafikson, if you still have a live cd you could check it the default settings work. I find that there are so many settings so many different places that it can be a jungle finding the cause of a problem. | 14:56 |
| vector | so .... is it possible to have network devices not managed by network-manager, yet still use network-manager to connect to a vpn? | 14:57 |
| rafikson | duncan-nz, then only livecd can make it work? | 14:57 |
| duncan-nz | rafikson, remember that Skype is not really a supported program - it's up to Skype to make it work. Maybe you should start by tring the built in applications like Sound Recorder. | 14:57 |
| rafikson | duncan-nz, i know:P but wanted test other programs too (with this sound problem) | 14:57 |
| duncan-nz | rafikson, I mean that maybe you've changed so many settings that it couls be good to see what the default settings were. But try Sound Recorder. | 14:57 |
| rafikson | duncan-nz, so i will try livecd thanks for your help | 14:58 |
| rafikson | duncan-nz, and have a nice day | 14:58 |

| klync | (apart from the fact that you probably want the "bootable" flag on sda1 not sda2) | 15:02 |

| Guest57745 | klync: /dev/sda1 is not showing any filesystem.. in sda2 i installed kubuntu from which i am talking.. | 15:06 |

| ikonia | !sudo | websly | 15:37 |
| ubottu | websly: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 15:37 |
| bindi | websly: sudo -i | 15:38 |
| naftilos76 | hi everyone, is there a filename filtel for nautilus for current dir that can show only files/dirs that include the keyword typed? | 15:38 |
| ikonia | !root | websly | 15:38 |
| ubottu | websly: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:38 |
| bindi | websly: but you probably don't want to hang around as root all the time, check the above links | 15:38 |

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 | 15:52 |

| Phillip | I dont have any flash drives is there any way i can make wubi work inside of ubuntu? | 16:35 |
| bobo37773 | anddam: You named your user lxde? Or you mean the desktop environment? | 16:35 |
| plouffe | Phillip, you can install xubuntu-desktop | 16:35 |
| anddam | I meant the DE | 16:35 |
| bobo37773 | oh okay | 16:35 |
| ramoncorreia | tank you | 16:35 |
| plouffe | then you should be able to boot into both | 16:35 |
| auronandace | phillip: no, wubi is for windows | 16:35 |
| bobo37773 | anddam: and what is the issue? I logged in just now and didn't see | 16:35 |
| dougl | I installed ccsm, enabled desktop cube and wobbly windows and when I rebooted I have no bar on the left of my screen... and I really dont know my way around unity - crap, I hope someone feels sorry for me and helps me out - lol | 16:35 |
| Lax | Im on 11.10 and trying to allow myself to run the make command, When I try to type the following command I get the error "sudo: aptitude: command not found" The command Im running is "sudo aptitude install build-essential" | 16:36 |
| anddam | bobo37773: every time the user logs in wifi password is asked, I'd like the password to be stored instead. | 16:36 |
| bobo37773 | anddam: Are you using networkmanager or wicd etc..? | 16:36 |
| thys | switching user completely hangs the system every time, what is up with this? | 16:36 |
| auronandace | dougl: i don't know if unity works with the desktop cube | 16:36 |
| MonkeyDust | anddam password or wpa key? | 16:36 |
| johnbee | try nm-applet | 16:36 |
| anddam | WPA key | 16:36 |
| anddam | bobo37773: idk, how do I check that? | 16:37 |
| auronandace | anddam: networkmanager is default | 16:37 |
| dougl | auronandace, well desktop cube has 2 sides to it and I can rotate it but no bar... hmm, I guess that qualifys as not working tho... | 16:38 |
| milen8204 | Hello all my gedit cant read bulgarian language what should I do to make bulgarian language readable ? | 16:38 |
| dougl | maybe I will switch to gnome | 16:38 |
| Papa-Smurf | Hello | 16:39 |
| auronandace | dougl: i imagine gnome3 wouldn't work with the desktop cube either (because of the way workspaves are managed in gnome3) | 16:39 |
| bobo37773 | anddam: Yeah your probably using networkmanager if I had to guess. Try something like this --> http://pastie.org/3829103 | 16:39 |
| auronandace | workspaces | 16:39 |
| anddam | auronandace: that doesn't answer how to check if I'm using it, tho' | 16:39 |
| dougl | auronandace, ok - thanks for the info... is there a older version of gnome I could use? | 16:40 |
| auronandace | anddam: the logic is if you didn't change the network manager you are using then you're likely using the one that is default | 16:40 |
| bobo37773 | anddam: You need to eval the keyring in openbox / lxde or whatever. Just use htop to see if you are running networkmanger | 16:40 |
| dougl | I want my 11.10 install to behave like my 10.10 install on my other machine... is this possible? | 16:41 |
| auronandace | dougl: no, gnome2 is no longer supported | 16:41 |
| Papa-Smurf | Hi | 16:41 |
| auronandace | dougl: compiz works on xfce too though | 16:41 |
| bobo37773 | anddam: Install htop and then run htop in terminal. After that press "f3" to search and type in networkmanager or nm-applet or whatever | 16:41 |
| DaemonFC | there's still the GNOME 3 Fallback desktop that's kind of sort of set up like GNOME 2 | 16:41 |
| Papa-Smurf | Hello | 16:41 |
| MonkeyDust | dougl i use ubuntu classic, it's much like gnome2, but it is gnome3 | 16:41 |
| DaemonFC | that was cast out into Universe, but it works | 16:41 |
| auronandace | MonkeyDust: isn't that called fallback mode? | 16:42 |
| anddam | bobo37773: why htop rather than top? | 16:42 |
| MonkeyDust | auronandace yes, guess so | 16:42 |
| milen8204 | Could I get some help please | 16:42 |
| anddam | bobo37773: to filter? | 16:42 |

| The-_-Pro | Is ubuntu going to get back to a netbook version? | 17:37 |
| wylde | darthr: ummm all of them? Depends what you "specifically" need. | 17:37 |
| dougl | escott, I only have access to point and click in my filesystem | 17:37 |
| * dougl is getting pissed off with the new and improved ubuntu | 17:37 | |
| escott | dougl, ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a terminal, ctrl-alt-f7 to get back | 17:37 |
| wylde | dougl: ctrl+alt+t | 17:38 |
| dougl | wylde, - bless you!!!! you are a good soul - thanks | 17:38 |
| theadmin | dougl: "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal" is what it runs, by the way. | 17:39 |
| wylde | The-_-Pro: the netbook version has been incorporated in ubuntu proper as I understand it. | 17:39 |

| dougl | theadmin, thanks... | 17:41 |
| escott | Andsim, can you paste the output of "sudo env" | 17:42 |
| Andsim | ok one3 secx | 17:42 |
| escott | Andsim, that might be different from a normal root login shell so also try "sudo -i; bash --login; env" | 17:43 |
| Andsim | nope i am on root | 17:43 |
| dougl | Hey guys and gals... thanks for the help - I am getting frustrated and starting to use foul language so I better take a break and come back to my ubuntu issues later with a cooler head. Thanks again for the help and sorry for the language. | 17:44 |

| n3ur0tix | Xtreme, as escott said , in the profile | 17:56 |
| mirko2 | Xtreme: you need a compositing window manager like compiz (or fake one with xcompmgr) | 17:56 |

| escott | Xtreme, its actually preferences the profiles | 17:56 |
| n3ur0tix | Xtreme, what OS version, compositor? | 17:57 |

| Xtreme | does gnome has a buildin compositor? | 17:58 |
| escott | Xtreme, you have to run a compositor to have true transparency | 17:58 |
| Qazjap11 | n3ur0tix, debugfs, extundelete | 17:58 |
| n3ur0tix | Qazjap11, take a look at photorec or testdisk | 17:58 |
| escott | Andsim, what does "env" say without the sudo? | 17:58 |
| Xtreme | escott, can you tell me how to? | 17:58 |
| Andsim | hold on | 17:58 |
| n3ur0tix | Qazjap11, good luck, I had mixed results... I hope it wasn't anything massively important! :) | 17:58 |
| escott | !undelete | Qazjap11 probably long since gone | 17:58 |
| ubottu | Qazjap11 probably long since gone: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 17:58 |
| escott | Xtreme, if you are running 11.04 or up then a compositor will start if your graphics card supports it | 17:59 |
| Andsim | same path as in poastebin i just put in few sec | 18:00 |
| escott | Xtreme, you could try and run jockey-gtk and install drivers for your graphics card | 18:00 |
| n3ur0tix | Xtreme, which gnome version? | 18:00 |
| Andsim | pastebin coming | 18:00 |
| Qazjap11 | n3ur0tix, photorec is not good, as I try to recover my wrapped-passphrase.. I'll try testdisk, hopefully It can locate such files. | 18:01 |
| Xtreme | n3ur0tix, how to check? sorry new to gnome.. gnome terminal is 2.3 | 18:01 |
| n3ur0tix | Qazjap11, photorec is not just for photos, FYI | 18:01 |
| Andsim | escott: http://pastebin.com/tEy5ey72 | 18:01 |
| Qazjap11 | escott, I have already been at ubuntu help, but couldn't find something usefull. I'll try the other links, thanks. | 18:01 |
| Xtreme | n3ur0tix, yes its 2.3 | 18:02 |
| dougl | escott, FYI - did those suggestions to restore unity and it is still not functional... how do I make my ubuntu install boot to xfce? | 18:02 |
| n3ur0tix | Xtreme, sudo apt-cache show gnome | 18:02 |
| mirko2 | Xtreme: the more interesting question is which ubuntu version. the (older) standard ubuntu windowmanager metacity doesn not do real alpha-channel transparency. either you need to use compiz (that thing with the cool 3D cube) or install xcompmgr (a command line program) and run it. | 18:02 |
| Qazjap11 | n3ur0tix, It's written it is used to search for known formats. I don't think the wrapped-passphrase of ecryptfs has some format. Thanks anyway :) | 18:02 |
| n3ur0tix | Xtreme, gnome-terminal is not gnome ;) | 18:02 |
| n3ur0tix | Qazjap11, ah... that could be tricky | 18:03 |
| escott | Andsim, this path is different from the sudo env path. sudo is doing something that is fixing the path. i'm not clear why this path is messed up | 18:03 |

| escott | Igramul, there are often intermittent issues with particular servers. give it 24hrs and if its still a problem you could try a different mirror | 18:11 |

| Hans_Zer0 | anyone any idea if I could get this to work? | 18:41 |
| mirko2 | Boreeas: perhaps you want a custom apt repository? something like http://www.hiddentao.com/archives/2011/06/27/setting-up-a-simple-ubuntu-apt-repository/ | 18:41 |
| escott | Hans_Zer0, not sure what the "files" application is, but sftp uses ssh auth_keys | 18:41 |
| Hans_Zer0 | so I can just put my rsa key file ... somewhere... and then ubuntu magically does the rest? | 18:42 |
| Boreeas | mirko2: No, that isn't really what I'm looking for. Backstory: I'm trying to upgrade a remote vserver, the only option being ssh. do-dist-upgrade broke a bunch of dependencies and I can't seem go go back or forth. | 18:42 |
| Hans_Zer0 | "files" is the standard file manager for ubuntu I dunno what it actually is but it is named "files" in the dash (or whatever that thing is called) | 18:43 |
| escott | Hans_Zer0, in your $HOME on the server you put the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (and set the correct permissions on that file) and then it should "just work" | 18:43 |
| Hans_Zer0 | the server part works fine ! | 18:43 |
| shnatsel | Hans_Zer0: it's called Nautilus | 18:43 |
| Hans_Zer0 | I'm just talking about the client part | 18:43 |
| Boreeas | So I was planning on uploading an iso to the server and then reinstalling, but I'm afraid that at some point it will overwrite stuff that is needed for keeping the iso mounted | 18:43 |
| Hans_Zer0 | ok can nautilus use a rsa keyfile to establish a ssh/sftp connection ? | 18:43 |
| zarax | it seems i don't have hda | 18:44 |
| bekks | zarax: BEcause you should have sda | 18:44 |
| escott | bekks, ? he is talking about hda audio not sda drives | 18:44 |
| trism | Hans_Zer0: it works here, but I have my servers set up in ~/.ssh/config (so I give the Host name in File/Connect to Server...) | 18:44 |
| bekks | escott: ah k :) | 18:45 |
| zarax | i actually beleive it more likely to be sda, seeing as i'm talking about an old netbook | 18:45 |
| trism | Hans_Zer0: I don't know if it will work otherwise (it may) | 18:45 |
| Hans_Zer0 | so I put my ssh config stuff with the keyfile in there and then it can connect ? | 18:45 |
| escott | zarax, have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 18:45 |

| escott | zarax, i would try "sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel" but its also likely you will need "sudo modprobe snd_hda_codec_realtek" or some variant. you might try "sudo modprobe snd_hda_*" and see if it picks up the right modules. | 18:55 |
| zarax | escott, the first command returned only a warning: "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, it will be ignored in a future release." | 18:56 |
| zarax | same for the scond command | 18:57 |

| Chloop | escott: I need to choose a different option in the recovery menu? | 19:01 |
| mirko2 | zarax_: notice that modprobe doesn't ouput anything if it runned successfull, and since you only got a warning, not an error, see if alsa now sees your soundcard (remember to unmute it) | 19:01 |

| theadmin | Chloop: "root shell" or something like that is there, methinks it's the last option | 19:06 |
| escott | zarax, if you ran the modprobe commands see what is listed in lsmod and check lshw again to see if the device is claimed | 19:06 |
| Chloop | theadmin: tried that before but it mounts filesystem as read-only? | 19:07 |
| Artemis3 | wifioregon, you must at least obtain an usb stick or cdrom drive; unless you set up a PXE server and the machine can boot from lan | 19:07 |
| theadmin | wifioregon: There is one way, but it's freaky -- you can mount the physical drive via Virtualbox (preparing an empty partition for Ubuntu beforehand) and install that way, then boot it from real hardware and remove Windows... | 19:07 |
| theadmin | Chloop: Is that a problem whatsoever? mount -o remount,rw / | 19:07 |
| mirko2 | wifioregon: or use the method I just posted some minutes ago: http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html ;-) | 19:08 |

| zozy | KM0201: yup, apt show its speed | 20:04 |
| KM0201 | zozy: me either.. most likely if there's a bottleneck when downloading updates, it's on the server end, rather than the client. | 20:04 |
| KM0201 | zozy: so there's the answer... "sudo apt-get upgrade".. ;) | 20:04 |
| grit | Diamondcite, yes i have that kill switch, i think yu mean the button to activate the wifi card on my laptop but it's on, my windows have the connection to the router over wlan. ok, i will wait :) | 20:05 |

| mirko2 | zozy, KM0201: not everybody in the world has a multi-MBit/s DSL flatrate. some have only GPRS/EDGE and even some others have a time or transfer limit. showing the speed, time and amount *is* very important to some people. | 20:06 |
| KM0201 | grit: search unity for "Additional Drivers" | 20:07 |
| KM0201 | mirko2: if its that important, then use the command line. | 20:07 |
| mirko2 | KM0201: I do (even with a fast, unlimted connection), but isn't Ubuntu aimed at newcomers ;-)= | 20:08 |
| KM0201 | dougl: you mean ccsm doesn't work on xubuntu? | 20:08 |
| KM0201 | or it just still doesn't work on ubuntu | 20:08 |
| grit | i use ubuntu 10.04 KM0201 | 20:09 |
| KM0201 | mirko2: ubuntu isn't designed to be all things for all people... so the fact it's "for newcomers" means nothing | 20:09 |
| KM0201 | grit: system/admin/additional drivers | 20:09 |
| KM0201 | grit: if it's a really new broadcom, there may not be support in the 10.04 kernel for it yet. | 20:09 |
| dougl | KM0201, the compiz effects dont work on xubuntu... ccsm works to enable and disable them - but effects do not work regardless of enable/disable them | 20:10 |

| grit | and under additional driver for me is only the b43 avaible, no sta driver | 20:11 |
| KM0201 | grit: which broadcom do you have? | 20:11 |
| grit | how can i see that? | 20:12 |
| KM0201 | .. | 20:12 |
| KM0201 | grit: open a terminal and type lspci and hit enter, find your wireless device in the output | 20:12 |
| dougl | KM0201, very good then - I had the misunderstanding compiz worked with xfce that is why I installed it. | 20:12 |
| mirko2 | KM0201: all I'm saying is that info like speed and time to completion is very important and almost standard info, just the gnome/ubuntu oversimplification kicks in again. anyway, not a gnome/ubuntu design forum. :-) | 20:12 |

| KM0201 | dougl: i'm not saying it "doesn't work"... i'm just saying i have no idea how to do it... to me it would go against the goals of xubuntu, which is to work on PC's with limited resources (even though I think xubuntu lost its way a couple years ago, thats irrelevant) | 20:13 |
| ELQEYNN | One can just as easily use kde? or icewm? | 20:13 |

| dipper | I built my own kernel | 20:18 |
| dipper | 3.0.22 | 20:18 |
| dipper | but my system is installed using WUBI | 20:18 |
| KM0201 | you need to check your kernel, it's making you hit enter constantly | 20:18 |
| dipper | yeah | 20:18 |
| dipper | :) | 20:18 |
| dipper | sorry | 20:18 |
| KM0201 | lmao.. you built your own kernel, then used wubi? | 20:18 |
| dougl | KM0201, googling lxde | 20:18 |
| dipper | my system is installed using WUBI | 20:18 |
| KM0201 | that might be the funniest thing i've ever read here. | 20:18 |
| bekks | KM0201: Thats a good one :D | 20:19 |
| grit | yes, of course KM0201 http://i42.tinypic.com/23moun7.png | 20:19 |
| Gnea | KM0201: uhm, I use wubi and I compiled my own kernel on it. what's so funny? | 20:19 |
| dipper | so the problem is that my own kernel is stuck in initramfs | 20:19 |
| dipper | I can still boot using others | 20:19 |
| Gnea | dipper: did you generate an initrd.img? | 20:19 |
| KM0201 | Gnea: just strikes me as totally ridiculous. | 20:19 |
| dipper | what's the different | 20:19 |
| dipper | yeah | 20:19 |
| dipper | I did | 20:19 |
| FloodBot1 | dipper: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:19 |
| Gnea | KM0201: your attitude it what's rediculous. help or get out. | 20:19 |
| KM0201 | Gnea: get bent,.. i've been helping.. if you don't like it leave yourself | 20:20 |
| Gnea | dipper: okay, using make-kpkg? and what version of ubuntu? | 20:20 |
| Gnea | KM0201: careful now.. just because you've been helping doesn't give you the right to laugh at someone elses problem. | 20:20 |
| KM0201 | grit: try this | 20:20 |

| Gnea | KM0201: no. | 20:20 |
| bazhang | KM0201, thats enough | 20:20 |
| grit | what should i try?? | 20:20 |
| bazhang | Gnea, lets move on please | 20:20 |
| KM0201 | grit: did you restart after activating the driver? | 20:21 |
| dipper | Gnea: i generated my kernel as Ubuntu documentation describes, I got deb packages, REASON says = ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ not found | 20:21 |
| grit | yes of course but i will try it again | 20:21 |
| grit | brb | 20:21 |
| KM0201 | grit: no, thats ok | 20:21 |
| grit | ok | 20:22 |
| KM0201 | if you already restarted, restarting again isn't gonna do anything | 20:22 |
| KM0201 | grit: open a terminal | 20:22 |
| grit | ok done | 20:22 |
| Xtreme | guys which was the command to set default browser, update-default something? | 20:22 |
| Gnea | dipper: okay, well as of 10.04, the initrd files have to be copied manually and mkinitrd ran on its own after make-kpkg is done and the packages are installed... did you go through these steps in that order? | 20:22 |
| KM0201 | grit: on that link i gave you, scroll down to where it says "step 3".. and shows the two terminal commands for "temporary use with live cd's"... .. put those command sin the terminal one at a time.. and see if it activates your browser | 20:23 |
| Diamondcite | KM0201: grit: I wonder what 'rfkill list' would show. | 20:23 |
| dipper | Gnea: I am not sure | 20:23 |
| KM0201 | Diamondcite: i dunno, we'll see in a second | 20:23 |
| KM0201 | i've had problems with the b43 driver working properly when using additional drivers, but.. who knows. | 20:23 |
| === DimitrisC is now known as dimitris | ||
| Gnea | dipper: well, what version are you on? lsb_release -r | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | Xtreme: "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" perhaps? | 20:24 |
| dipper | Gnea: I am on 3.0.0.17 and I built 3.0.22, but I actually wanted to modify the same version | 20:24 |
| zykotick9 | Xtreme: PS there is also "update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser" | 20:25 |
| bekks | Gnea: Using the "standard" procedure for building an own kernel, you dont have to mess with the initrd/initramfs manually. | 20:25 |
| Mrokii | Hello. Since a few days ago I have a problem with Flash. Whenever I start a Flash-movie in any browser the plugin either seems to crash after a few seconds or stalls the brwoser(s) for some seconds. It's impossible to watch any Flash movie anymore in Browsers because they all lag every few seconds, if they don't crash. | 20:25 |
| Gnea | dipper: I'm talking about ubuntu version, not kernel version | 20:25 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: what browser, and what version of flash? | 20:25 |
| dipper | bekks: what could be the reason of /dev/disk/by-uuid not found | 20:25 |
| dipper | Gnea: 11.10 | 20:25 |
| bekks | dipper: Almost everything, a missing controller driver, a missing filesystem driver, etc. | 20:26 |
| zoellner122 | Hello, i am wondering, if i would install 10.04 with its kernel, and update ubuntu can i skip its kernel update or is that required? | 20:26 |
| Gnea | bekks: it's just better to use initrd, particularly when the system complains about it during bootup. | 20:26 |
| Gnea | dipper: okay, and which documentation are you using? | 20:26 |
| bekks | zoellner122: The kernel updates do have a reason too, mostly bug fixes and security updates. | 20:26 |
| grit | Diamondcite, i have try to activate with sudo rfkill unblock all but that dont work rfkill list say: http://pastebin.com/aCk93xnu | 20:26 |
| zykotick9 | zoellner122: do you mean update to a new version of ubuntu? or update to 10.04's kernel? | 20:27 |
| zoellner122 | to the newer version of ubuntu | 20:27 |
| grit | KM0201, i will try | 20:27 |
| zykotick9 | zoellner122: you can't skip the kernel! it's a requirement. | 20:27 |
| ravi | hello !! | 20:28 |
| zoellner122 | a fresh install of natty does not support my screenlight, and some people say booting in the old kernel helps | 20:28 |
| dipper | Gnea: let me go back and read about ram disk | 20:28 |

| Gnea | dipper: okay | 20:28 |

| Mrokii | khaard: Opera, Firefox and Chrome. Flash Version is 11.2.202 I think. | 20:29 |
| Mrokii | oops wrong nick. | 20:29 |
| irenicus09 | Hi...is kubuntu officially supported by ubuntu? | 20:29 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: try installing flash manually | 20:29 |
| KM0201 | irenicus09: in #kubuntu | 20:29 |
| irenicus09 | k | 20:29 |
| irenicus09 | sry was just curious :p | 20:30 |
| KM0201 | irenicus09: i'm pretty sure it is recognized by canonical | 20:30 |
| irenicus09 | KM0201: k | 20:30 |
| irenicus09 | KM0201: but I read some where that it's no longer officially funded by ubuntu but by some other corp. | 20:31 |
| zykotick9 | irenicus09: the news (a little while ago) was canonical is no longer paying anyone to work on kubuntu - it's community now. | 20:31 |
| blendedbychris | after installing ntpd how do i force it to update the date? | 20:31 |
| grit | KM0201, i have type in the terminal sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb and then sudo modprobe b43 but nothing changed | 20:31 |
| KM0201 | irenicus09: ah ok, i wasn't aware of that | 20:31 |
| Mrokii | KM0201: I'll try, though I think I already did that. Do you know if I have to restart the system or should Flash be detected automatically? | 20:31 |
| === amarelo_ is now known as amarelo | ||
| irenicus09 | zykotick9: k thnx | 20:32 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: i would think automatically detected, i've never had a problem with it being auto detected | 20:32 |
| Mrokii | Okay. | 20:32 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: how did you try to install it manually? | 20:32 |
| squid | Today I figured out a problem that is affecting a lot of users out there using ubuntu 11.10 | 20:33 |
| grit | brb | 20:33 |
| KM0201 | grit: i really don't know.. usually i install the b43 driver "manually".. and it works fine.. obviously something is fubar... | 20:33 |
| KM0201 | squid: how to change unity back to gnome 2.x? | 20:34 |
| Mrokii | KM0201: I think I tried Synaptic, removing and reinstalling it. And then a Firefox-extension named "Flash Aid" that is supposed to install the correct version. Didn't help. | 20:34 |
| grit | hmm, ok thank you for now, i think i have to try by myself | 20:34 |
| squid | it seems as if when you try to configure an IP address static....the /etc/resolv.conf file gets overriden by the network-manager | 20:34 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: thats not really installing manually | 20:34 |
| Mrokii | KM0201: So what exactly do you mean? | 20:34 |
| squid | the solution is to use nameserver in front of the dns server addresses.... | 20:34 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: what version of ubuntu are you using again? | 20:34 |
| Mrokii | KM0201: 11.10 x64 | 20:35 |
| irenicus09 | squid: use "lschatt +i /etc/resolv.conf" to make it immutable and it wont get overwritten | 20:35 |
| zykotick9 | Mrokii: i'm not really following - but if you have more then one version of flash installed from the repos, it can cause issues. | 20:35 |
| squid | the command to fix it is like this.... echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' >> /etc/resolv.conf | 20:35 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: go to http://www.adobe.com then click downloads then "get flash player" | 20:35 |
| irenicus09 | squid: "lschattr*" | 20:35 |
| Mrokii | zykotick9: I think that is what Flash Aid was supposed to repair, removing conflicting versions. | 20:36 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: once on that page, where it says "Select version to Download"... choose ".tar.gz for linux" | 20:36 |
| squid | irenicus09: i tried that and it didn't work....i actually google extensibly and that was one of the first things i tried. | 20:36 |
| escott | irenicus09, will chattr prevent uid 0 from doin whateverit wants | 20:37 |
| zykotick9 | Mrokii: flashaid is firefox limited probably, i'm talking about ubuntu's repository stuff - flash flash-nonfree gnash (all that sorta stuff) | 20:37 |
| irenicus09 | squid: I got the perfect solution for you- "http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=26845" | 20:38 |
| Mrokii | zykotick9: Nope, Flash Aid created a bash script that deinstalled my version and installed another one. | 20:38 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: if you do what i told you, this will resolve in about 10 seconds | 20:39 |
| squid | KM0201: here is how you do it... | 20:39 |
| Mrokii | KM0201: Just download and extracted the archive. | 20:40 |
| mrsuchyPL | hi | 20:40 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: right click the "libflashplayer.so" file and click copy | 20:40 |
| Ammar_ | hello | 20:40 |
| mrsuchyPL | what kind of problem do u have with libflashplayer ? | 20:40 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: then go to /home/username/.mozilla (you might need to click "View/Show hidden files/directories" too see this directory) | 20:40 |
| squid | KM0201: it's very simple...just watch this short video with the instructions. http://paste.ubuntu.com/940193/ | 20:41 |
| Mrokii | KM0201: Then into "plugins" I asssume? | 20:41 |
| KM0201 | squid: i don't even remember what you rproblem was | 20:41 |
| KM0201 | Mrokii: affirmative | 20:41 |

| ELQEYNN | Have any of you been to Computer renaissance? | 20:43 |
| squid | hi Walters. | 20:43 |
| escott | irenicus09, i doubt chattr would work. although resolv.conf will be immutable its more likely that any application will replace resolv.conf with a new copy, and chattr on the file won't prevent a removal/move of the file | 20:43 |
| Walters | hey dude | 20:44 |
| Walters | how u doin | 20:44 |
| squid | alright | 20:44 |
| trism | Random832: install imagemagick, then: convert image1 image2 ... imagen output.pdf; | 20:44 |
| KM0201 | Ammar_: you nuked windows right out of the gate? i hope you've got restore cd's | 20:44 |
| Walters | squid do u know any thing about touchscreen in ubuntu ? | 20:44 |
| Gnea | Walters: touchscreen drivers come with ubuntu already. | 20:44 |

| mrsuchyPL | omg some many problem in the same time :) | 20:45 |
| mirko2 | escott: a file with immutable set cannot be modified or deleted, not even as root. there may be other reasons (filesystem doesn't support extended attributes or such) | 20:45 |

| escott | mirko2, try it. i absolutely can delete an immutable file. i can't modify it in place, but i can delete it | 20:47 |
| Gnea | squid: that statement made no sense. android devices run linux, they are fully touchscreen, and they have commandlines. :) | 20:47 |

| Random832 | ...it made all but one page of it super small | 20:50 |
| Mrokii | mrsuchyPL: It isn't only FX but every browser I have tried, so it must be a system-problem. | 20:50 |

| Random832 | ok, i just loaded it in gimp | 20:53 |
| Random832 | and apparently my stupid scanner saved the metadata as 8.5x11 _centimeters_ | 20:53 |
| Random832 | how do i change the metadata dpi of a png without changing anthing else? | 20:54 |
| squid | mrsuchyPL: I amusing chromium and it works fine with flashplyer | 20:55 |
| trism | Random832: make sure you have the switches in the correct order, if I were converting a pdf to images: convert test.pdf -density 200 output.jpg; will give me tiny images, but: convert -density 200 test.pdf output.jpg; gives me large ones | 20:56 |
| trism | Random832: I imagine it would be the same the other way around | 20:57 |

| pc | I have a issue. not sure on where to ask. Laptop Dv9810us. Dual op sys. Stripped down xp pro and ubuntu beta. wanted to reinstall both OS's. Deleted the Ubuntu partitions (followed a online page for this as i couldnt find an uninstall option). deleted two partitions from xp disk manager for ubuntu. Now "error partion not found" "Grub rescue> message> Cannot change anything in bios menu it... | 20:59 |
| pc | ...all says disabled no option to boot from disc or usb. what can i do? I do not have an adapter to connect the hard drive like an external harddrive to another pc | 20:59 |
| bronzdragon | Hey, Im having a problem with LightDM acting up on boot. | 21:00 |
| bronzdragon | When I boot up, LightDM doesnt start. Running LightDM restart lets me launch gnome. | 21:00 |
| bronzdragon | Any guesses as to why LightDM fails on boot, but without changing anything, a restart fixes it? Im assuming its reading from some other config when being run by me than when being run on boot? Would that make sense? | 21:00 |
| OerHeks | pc, repair your MBR with your windows disc | 21:00 |
| joethetree | hey guys, how can i make an application show up in my software center? i installed it buy copying contents from a tar.gz file to /opt/ but it doesnt seem to be "in the registry" (if you allow my to speak windows language) | 21:01 |
| mirko2 | pc: the boot manager (grub) is still installed. get your windows installation cd, go to a recovery mode and run the command fixmbr | 21:01 |
| pc | it wont run my windows disc or hirens | 21:01 |
| pc | no option except for HD | 21:01 |
| mrsuchyPL | bye | 21:01 |
| joethetree | or the same question asked differently: what happens when i install an application with ./configure and make install, that adds the application to the ubuntu software center? | 21:02 |
| Mrokii | squid: I tried installing Flash via Software Center and it didn't help either. | 21:02 |
| jrib | joethetree: what application is this? You have to install a .deb for software manager to know about it | 21:02 |
| pc | if i go to boot options or order all that comes up is notebook hard drive now | 21:02 |
| bobweaver | joethetree, no that is compiling | 21:03 |
| zykotick9 | joethetree: things you install from source are not going to be known by apt. see "/msg ubottu checkinstall" for something that creates DEBs from source packages. | 21:03 |
| joethetree | jrib: its an old version of firefox | 21:03 |
| jrib | joethetree: why? :/ | 21:03 |
| mirko2 | joethetree: if you compile/install from source and the software apears in the software center, then the building actually created a .deb file and installed that | 21:03 |
| zykotick9 | joethetree: mixing firefox versions isn't going to make apt happy - so disregard what i said. | 21:04 |
| OerHeks | joethetree, if you make uninstall too, that would be nice | 21:04 |
| DarkAngel | Does anyone know why my sound would end up being so low... | 21:04 |
| bobweaver | that is cool as all cool can be with the checkinstall.How does it know about the control file and postinst and what not ? | 21:04 |
| joethetree | jrib: i just need the old firefox because i've got a selenium script which only works with that version of firefox. but now it cannot find the browser application because ive just unpacked it and not "installed" properly | 21:04 |
| jrib | bobweaver: it doesn't; it creates a super stupid package. You shouldn't use it. Instead, create a proper package if you're sure you need to (i.e. one doesn't already exist). /msg ubottu packaging | 21:05 |
| bobweaver | jrib, thanks I am building a package and wanted to make sure that I was not missing something that is so easy | 21:05 |
| dlentz | DarkAngel, have you tried adjusting volume in alsamixer | 21:06 |
| zykotick9 | jrib: do to the uninstall - i think checkinstall is a huge improvement over just install directly from source. | 21:06 |
| joethetree | zykotick9: i am not mixing, just replacing | 21:06 |
| zykotick9 | jrib: s/do/due/ | 21:06 |
| jrib | joethetree: well either point the script to the version of firefox in /opt or link the version of firefox that's sitting in /opt somewhere in your $PATH. But really, I'd advise against running old versions of web browsers.... | 21:06 |
| joethetree | jrib: i am running this in a sandboxed test environment, the browser is not used for anything else | 21:06 |
| pc | could i run ubuntu from this working pc take out my gf's hard drive and put mine in then reformat mine from there without losing her hard drive data? | 21:07 |
| DarkAngel | delntz I forgot how to get into alsmixer.. the voulme was fine last night and now it is so low you can not hear it unless you turn off everything in the room | 21:07 |
| dlentz | DarkAngel, just go to terminal and enter 'alsamixer' | 21:07 |
| DarkAngel | oh ok thank you | 21:07 |
| joethetree | jrib: ok, i think the path was what i was aiming for, cannot adjust the script cause i dont have the source | 21:08 |

| Lint | back to yesterdays discussion | 21:11 |
| bazhang | Lint, pardon? | 21:11 |
| Lint | ubuntu cannot access the files on a shared partition claiming they owned by user 500 | 21:11 |
| mystMan | i installed a few programs how do i run them? I am new to ubuntu desktop | 21:12 |
| Lint | other distro can, but it has no user or group called 500 | 21:12 |
| jrib | Lint: what is the path to such a file? | 21:12 |
| hallofick | =P lol so many nicks xd | 21:12 |
| Lint | in particular user 1000, the same uid as in ubuntu, can. | 21:12 |
| hallofick | i use fedora but i like it channel | 21:13 |
| Lint | /pub/Videos/something.flv | 21:13 |
| mirko2 | Lint: windows or linux partition? | 21:13 |
| Lint | ext3 partition | 21:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Lint: on the other other distro, from a terminal try this: grep 500 /etc/passwd | 21:13 |
| jrib | Lint: pastebin the output of: ls -ld /pub /pub/Videos /pub/Videos/something.flv | 21:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Lint: "500" will be the numerical ID, not the user-name | 21:13 |
| Lint | I checked, the other distro has no such user or group | 21:13 |
| Lint | what do you want to see there? I could but it will take much time | 21:14 |
| jrib | !who| Lint | 21:15 |
| ubottu | Lint: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 21:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | OK, then some program or script simply did a "chown 500 /path/to/file" | 21:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Lint: the user-id attached to a dentry doesn't have to exist on the system :s | 21:15 |
| Lint | I don´t know why do you want me to perform destructive activity of my files, while I can access them normally as uid 1000, but not in ubuntu | 21:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Lint: you can likely fix it with "sudo chown $USER /path/to/file" | 21:16 |
| jrib | Lint: no one asked you to perform anything to your files... | 21:16 |
| mirko2 | mystMan: from the menu? what programs are those? | 21:16 |
| mystMan | like netbeans | 21:17 |
| jrib | Lint: can you pastebin the information asked of you? And can you also answer mirko2's question? | 21:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Lint: "grep 500 /etc/passwd" would search the file /etc/passwd for the text string "500" and show you any lines that contained it | 21:17 |
| Lint | IntuitiveNipple, I checked specially, there´s no user 500. it show 500 500 on both systems | 21:18 |
| Lint | but in fedora, I can access them, in ubuntu not | 21:18 |
| mirko2 | Lint: user 500 does not exist on your trouble cause distro, either you create one and match up the user IDs, or better, you use group permissions | 21:18 |
| raven | witch is better ubuntu alternate or ubuntu desktop | 21:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Lint: maybe Fedora uses 500 for some special sharing purpose | 21:18 |
| Lint | raven, they are the same, only installer is different | 21:19 |
| raven | no the arent | 21:19 |
| rodayo | Is there some known performance issue in precise with flash? | 21:20 |
| jrib | raven: end result should basically be the same | 21:20 |
| raven | alternate youses les memory | 21:20 |
| Ahix | rodayo, what's the problem ? | 21:20 |
| jrib | raven: this isn't true... | 21:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Lint: according to a Google search I just did, Fedora uses 500 for NFS shares... you might want to look at it, and do more related searches: http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/96/how-to-change-userid-to-500-from-1000 | 21:20 |
| raven | most text files | 21:20 |
| jrib | raven: maybe you're thinking of server or minimal? | 21:20 |
| raven | no no | 21:20 |
| rodayo | Ahix, since I installed precise yesterday i noticed that this flash game i play started lagging very noticeably | 21:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rodayo: I've not noticed any issues with Flash on Precise amd64 | 21:20 |
| jrib | raven: well the alternate desktop install and the regular desktop install will leave you with basically the same system after install. What is your question? | 21:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rodayo: Could it be the system isn't using 3D hardware-accelerated video drivers such as nvidia? | 21:21 |
| Ahix | rodayo, which flash version are you running ? | 21:21 |
| rodayo | Funny you should IntuitiveNipple, I had to install a 3D accelerated gfx card too...but maybe that installation didn't go as I planned? | 21:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rodayo: worth checking - usually easy to sort out (*touches wood) | 21:22 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Lint: I also read "New UID and GID ranges" for Fedora 16, seems they used to uses 500 as the mimium user account IDs (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Changes_for_Sysadmin.html) | 21:23 |
| rodayo | IntuitiveNipple, I doubt that might be the problem...I'm looking at the ATI catalyst control center program and highperformance GPU is enabled... | 21:24 |
| Lint | but my fedora´s account is 1000, it is evident from my home folder permissions, just like in ubuntu | 21:24 |
| Ahix | rodayo, are the others flash apps running normaly. youtube for example | 21:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rodayo: OK... so maybe look on the web for some Flash performance testing applications, see if you can compare that system's performance with other peoples results to see if its in the right area, or lagging behind generally? | 21:25 |
| rodayo | Ahix, yep nothing wrong there but I've only been trying everything out since yesterday | 21:25 |
| bobweaver | I thought that youtube is now pushing something that is not flash at all ? | 21:25 |
| osse | Are there other processes or shells that a normal user doesn't see that source ~/.profile? When I renamed it, my own launchers wouldn't work because they relied on scripts in ~/bin | 21:25 |
| rodayo | plus I think the youtube team makes a really effecient flash player | 21:25 |
| wifioregon | How do I upgrade to 12.04 beta without having to download and put on a disc? I'm using 11.10 | 21:25 |
| MrUnagi | my thumnails seem to all be banners, any way to change them all to poster? | 21:26 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Lint: I can't explain it, but you could solve it on Ubuntu by creating a user ID for 500 | 21:26 |

| wifioregon | Is anyone else having a problem with flash player in 11.10 all of a sudden? ITs saying I need to upgrade | 21:32 |
| EvilResistance | wifioregon: updates/upgrades need to be done because of exploits | 21:33 |
| EvilResistance | so your IT people are saying upgrade because of those holes | 21:33 |
| EvilResistance | the only way to do *that* is to install from the Adobe flash precompiled installer, if one exists | 21:33 |

| escott | david_, freedesktop.org is probably what you want | 21:58 |
| Random832 | i thought drawing tablets had to be supported in the kernel | 21:58 |
| Random832 | and the x server just uses /dev/input | 21:59 |

| trism | Gaming4JC: because libGLU.so.1 is a different library? | 22:02 |
| david_ | i dont know what i'm looking for, how can i get the software to run my drawing tablet? | 22:02 |
| escott | Gaming4JC, follow the symlink what is /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1.2 | 22:02 |
| trism | Gaming4JC: libglu1-mesa:i386 | 22:02 |
| hypn0 | why dont you do a countdown to 12.04, so many people think its released :-) | 22:02 |
| deadbeef | hello guys i just installed ubuntu 12 but the default wm suck cocks is there any decent one and which is it? | 22:03 |
| escott | david_, identify what driver it is supported by (probably a wacom driver variant), and try and install those through apt. | 22:03 |

| bazhang | deadbeef, watch the language and attitude | 22:03 |
| deadbeef | thanks david_ i'm giving it a try | 22:03 |
| deadbeef | hoping that it's decent | 22:03 |
| wylde | !nounity | deadbeef | 22:04 |
| ubottu | deadbeef: 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 | 22:04 |
| deadbeef | yay thanks i'm totally trying it | 22:04 |
| deadbeef | because this unity thing acts homosexually (i'm moderating my language i indeed want to mean another thing) | 22:05 |
| wylde | *sigh* | 22:05 |
| houseofbean | Thanks everyone for the info and advice. I'm kind of a dare devil sometimes. I've been using Ubuntu since 9.04 and I love it. | 22:05 |

| Gaming4JC | david_: 404 on what? | 22:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: I'm guessing your system will be using the proprietary Nvidia driver. You can't use the standard system display app to configure the displays, instead you need to use "nvidia-settings" | 22:25 |
| meduser | I tried setting up the nvidia, as dual monitor with twinview, but display still showed laptop 3280 x 1040 | 22:25 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: hmm, nvidia-settings shows it as one display?! | 22:26 |
| meduser | It seems like I lose one of the two monitors if I activate any nvidia | 22:26 |
| djskidd | Hi, I need to dual-boot Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04 | 22:26 |

| Gaming4JC | david_: *duck duck goes for a mirror of wizardpen-0.6.0.2.tar.gz* :) | 22:26 |
| meduser | nvidia x server shows it as 2, the right sizes and all, display in Ubuntu shows as one large display | 22:26 |
| bazhang | jackdack, packages.ubuntu.com you mean? | 22:27 |

| root12 | ok...but i don't know the procedure | 22:29 |
| Xchat-user | are there any themes compatible with 12.04 | 22:29 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: hmmm, sounds weird. I use multi monitors on Nvidia, never had a problem unless one of the monitors doesn't tell the graphics card its capabilities using EDID | 22:29 |
| meduser | I have tried numerous times on two different pcs, and always seem to have the same issue..lol...It has to be me | 22:30 |
| root12 | where can i set alsa mixer??? | 22:30 |
| djskidd | root12: in terminal, alsamixer | 22:30 |
| meduser | IntuitiveNipple: that was at you..lol | 22:30 |
| djskidd | just type alsamixer | 22:30 |

| djskidd | Has anyone tested VirtualDJ LE in WINE? | 22:30 |
| meduser | IntuitiveNipple: thats what I thought..lol | 22:31 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: it's almost impossible for me to diagnose the issue without being telepathic I'm afraid, it sounds like you're almost there but need to master nvidia-settings | 22:31 |
| MirkoKa | malik__: you're going to hate me for this, but make your caps-lock of. does your password work elsewhere (like with sudo commands?) | 22:31 |
| meduser | IntuitiveNipple: I am running NVIDIA driver version 295.40...at the bottom of system info, it says screens:1, but in the GPU-0(geforce 9600gt) settings it shows DFP-0-(Acer X203w), DFP-1-(Acer X203h) | 22:33 |
| malik__ | MirkoKa, i am not hating you... because I am messing withthis problem for last three days. No caps locks issue. and as i said at one time it works and at another it does not. For example: The session i am currently working in I need to try a dozen times before i could login | 22:33 |
| amaroks | Hello how can I add mouse click sound to my ubuntu ? just like in mac? | 22:33 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: "screens" usually refers to a logical concept of "screens" for the X server. Do no confuse those with the "monitors" | 22:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: I'm using Twinview with 2 monitors (one above the other) on one X screen | 22:34 |
| root12 | ok...the alsamixer pannel is opened...an then??? | 22:34 |
| fellayaboy | i have this problem i want to get rid of these ptp from ifconfig...i see i have as0t0-00 all the way to as0t3-00 how do i reset ll that or remove them | 22:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: think of X "screens" as virtual displays ... more than one monitor can be combined to form one screen | 22:36 |
| fellayaboy | rest all of them* | 22:36 |
| meduser | IntuitiveNipple: both of mine say twinview..is that wrong? | 22:36 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: no, that's correct. Are both monitors active and displaying content? | 22:36 |
| meduser | yes they are, and I can move windows from screen to screen..it seems right | 22:37 |
| MirkoKa | malik__: ok, so does your password work with sudo commands in a terminal window? this is just a very wild guess, but perhaps it's an input device problem. have never seen anything like this. | 22:38 |
| meduser | IntuitiveNipple: they seem normal, but I thought the display from Ubuntu reading as one large dispaly meant there was an error | 22:38 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Sounds like it's working properly. As I said, because the Nvidia driver doesn't communicate with Xrandr (X resolution and rate) the open-source apps can't know about the multiple monitors | 22:39 |
| gettons | hi all | 22:39 |
| meduser | IntuitiveNipple: is there a way to make sure 3d graphics are on? | 22:39 |

| gettons | ? | 22:39 |
| meduser | IntuitiveNipple: ok..just when I was on Kubuntu, the displays always seemed to be right in KDE.. | 22:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: from a terminal try "glxinfo | egrep 'vendor|render|version' " and look for "direct rendering: Yes" and "OpenGL vendor string:NVIDIA Corporation" | 22:41 |

| amaroks | sentriz: get terminal in windows if you can :D | 22:44 |
| sentriz | uh, CMD? | 22:45 |
| meduser | IntuitiveNipple: not getting any response..just dropped a line and gave me an > | 22:45 |

| sentriz | true | 22:45 |
| sentriz | yeah, i think ill dual boot! :) | 22:45 |

| sentriz | but not with wubi, right? | 22:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: press Ctrl+C to break out | 22:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | meduser: try again: glxinfo | egrep 'vendor|render|version' | 22:46 |
| meduser | sentriz: cmd works ok, but the way windows is set up, it seems to take a lot more knowledge to handle the cmd compared to the terminal. I just like the layout, feel, and community that Ubuntu brings | 22:46 |
| sentriz | oooo | 22:47 |
| sentriz | i see | 22:47 |
| amaroks | sentriz: can you do ssh root@xxx in windows? | 22:47 |
| sentriz | amaroks, well, what does that do lol | 22:47 |
| meduser | IntuitiveNipple: yeah, missing the closing '....done know says::~$ glxinfo | egrep 'vendor|render|version' direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation server glx version string: 1.4 client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation client glx version string: 1.4 GLX version: 1.4 OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 9600 GT/PCIe/SSE2/3DNOW!

| wrostek | Anyone know if having power save enabled on your wifi card affects signal strength? | 22:56 |
| bassy | sometimes .. depends on your battery settings | 22:56 |
| wrostek | its a desktop pc | 22:56 |
| bassy | then no | 22:56 |
| escott | wrostek, should not affect signal strength. some routers have a hard time with wireless cards that turn off at times (although those should be rarer these days) | 22:57 |
| wrostek | I have 56% signal in same room, 3 feet away, the only thing I can see wrong is the wifi card has power save on | 22:57 |
| === optikx is now known as optik | ||
| bassy | someone wanna help me now? | 22:58 |
| bassy | my wifi wont connect | 22:58 |
| rikstation | ubuntu 12.04, first time trying ubuntu - long time fan of linux mint, would be perfect if i could have this on my android device as like the recently announced ubuntu for android | 22:58 |
| wrostek | I wanted to test setting power save off on the wifi card, but iwconfig wlan0 power off - results in Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) | 22:59 |
| wrostek | Is there another way to disable it? | 22:59 |
| escott | wrostek, those percentages aren't that meaningful. without knowing what dB the signal is coming out of the router how do you know? 56% of what? maximum fcc allowable? only thing that matters is if packets get dropped | 22:59 |
| amaroks | where is sound preference in ubuntu 11.04? | 23:00 |
| wrostek | signal is -55 and noise is -70 | 23:00 |
| amaroks | old versions had that and where I can enable mouse click sound | 23:00 |
| wrostek | I mean, the ubuntu box with the wifi card is the AP, and I have a router in repeater mode, and a macbook both three feet away in the same room, and they both claim the AP has signal of -55 and noise of -70 | 23:02 |
| escott | wrostek, so signal is 31.6 times as strong as the noise. sounds good. | 23:02 |
| ELQEYNN | Does anyone here use the arbitrary-precision calculator bc? | 23:02 |
| escott | ELQEYNN, yes | 23:03 |
| wrostek | the SNR is 15 | 23:03 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ELQEYNN: sometimes, yes | 23:03 |
| wrostek | thats not good | 23:03 |
| wrostek | Anyone know how to disable power save on a wifi card without using iwconfig? | 23:03 |
| ELQEYNN | That's one thing one can access only via shell commands. | 23:04 |
| MirkoKa | ELQEYNN: not anymore, i use ipython, what's your question anyway | 23:04 |
| ELQEYNN | Does ipython give you any precision of calculations that you want? | 23:04 |
| escott | ELQEYNN, there will be gmp libraries for pythong | 23:05 |
| syslq | doh | 23:05 |
| shlomo | MirkoKa, it doesn't work with "epiphany", it says missing plugin. The thing is, it used to work with FF but the website says there is a new java version. Is this new java version also available for ubuntu browsers? | 23:06 |
| MirkoKa | ELQEYNN: not as automatic as bc does, but with round() yes. | 23:06 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wrostek: Maybe accessing it via the /sys/interface? e.g. manipulating /sys/class/net/wlan0/phy80211/device/tx_power | 23:06 |
| ELQEYNN | I don't like perl. | 23:07 |
| jayar | why does my IP keep getting set by DHCP when i have static set in /interfaces? | 23:07 |
| jayar | it just started happening all of a sudden | 23:08 |
| ELQEYNN | Doesn't your router have SHCP wired into it? | 23:08 |
| jayar | i dunno, never heard of that | 23:08 |
| MirkoKa | shlomo: since I have never manually installed the FF java browser plugin on this box, I guess yes. maybe you should do and apt-get upgrade | 23:08 |
| wrostek | intuitiveNipple, how would I do that? echo off > /sys/class/net/wlan0/phy80211/device/power/control | 23:08 |
| ELQEYNN | Doesn't your router have DHCP wired into it? | 23:08 |
| rikstation | how to get startup manager on ubuntu 12.04 | 23:09 |
| jayar | yea, but i use dhcp for wireless devices | 23:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | wrostek: From looking at it, it looks to be an integer value. Do some Googling, see if it can be used that way | 23:09 |
| jayar | servers and workstation are all set static | 23:09 |
| ELQEYNN | In Perl, what's "323" + "1279J" ? | 23:09 |
| MirkoKa | ELQEYNN: this is Python ;-) but anyway, aside from trying math programs like octave, what is your actual problem please | 23:09 |
| nosoundpleasehel | I installed Ubuntu minimal yesterday and there is no sound. I have looked at all the alsa drivers and such and they are all installed. Is there something I am missing? | 23:10 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rikstation: click the gear icon top-right, choose "Startup Applications..." | 23:10 |
| ELQEYNN | As I said, MiokoKa, arbitrary-precision calculation. | 23:10 |
| jayar | oooooh i just found address reservation in dhcp settings... didnt see that before... hope this works :) | 23:11 |
| rikstation | IntuitiveNipple, thanks for your reply, but i wish to have startup-manager not startup applications, i wish to control grub effectivly using it | 23:11 |
| MirkoKa | ELQEYNN: and you're unhappy with bc? | 23:12 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rikstation: Ahhh! you mean the GUI application to manage the boot loader? | 23:12 |
| rikstation | IntuitiveNipple, yes thats correct, in linux mint i just downloaded startup-manger but it doesnt seem to be in the repos here | 23:13 |
| rikstation | IntuitiveNipple, first day using ubuntu | 23:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rikstation: It is, as "startupmanager" BUT I'm reading it hasn't been keeping pace with GRUB2. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager | 23:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rikstation: And welcome to Ubuntu! | 23:14 |
| zykotick9 | !info startupmanager | 23:14 |

| nosoundpleasehel | I installed Ubuntu minimal yesterday and there is no sound. I have looked at all the alsa drivers and such and they are all installed. Is there something I am missing? | 23:17 |
| escott | nosoundpleasehel, probably need to load the modules. on top of which the minimal probably won't have things like pulseaudio so you might want that | 23:17 |
| zykotick9 | !sound | nosoundpleasehel have to looked at this stuff? | 23:18 |
| ubottu | nosoundpleasehel have to looked at this stuff?: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 23:18 |
| jeremiah_ | what is the command for finding what drivers you have? | 23:19 |
| aggrav8d | Hi, Ubuntu. I just updated ubuntu and now i'm getting "client denied by server configuration" in my apache error log. I can't seem to access my sites. anyone know what's changed that could be causing the problem? | 23:19 |
| dirkle | does anyone know the best way to go about dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu 11.10 with UEFI? I've look around on the forums and Google and can't find anything that looks like a sure method | 23:19 |
| MirkoKa | jeremiah_: lsmod | 23:20 |
| escott | dirkle, you will need the grub-efi bootloader instead of the grub-pc bootloader | 23:20 |
| jeremiah_ | thanks. | 23:21 |

| boxbeatsy | hi, i have a database of 11 million records, each record having 4 columns of data. i want to create an api that allows you to search the database of records by a varchar column. does anyone know if there's a more effective way to store the data than in mysql and querying with a fulltext index? | 23:31 |
| aggrav8d | boxbeatsy - what are you searching for? | 23:32 |
| cfedde | grep? | 23:32 |
| dj_segfault | boxbeatsy: How often does the data change? | 23:32 |
| boxbeatsy | the data never changes | 23:32 |
| boxbeatsy | dj_segfault: the data never changes | 23:32 |
| cfedde | one big table of data in a flat file seems like a reasonable choice. why not use grep? | 23:33 |
| MirkoKa | boxbeatsy: ask in a (my)sql group | 23:33 |
| dj_segfault | You want them to search for the value of a SPECIFIC field or all fields? | 23:33 |
| boxbeatsy | aggrav8d: each row has a 'keyword' column and i'ms earching for the ten closest matches to the keyword along with the corresponding data | 23:33 |
| aggrav8d | boxbeatsy - I'd sort them alphabetically. | 23:33 |
| dj_segfault | boxbeatsy: Are there multiple keywords in the keyword field delimited by something? | 23:34 |
| aggrav8d | do that once and build an index for the first few letters. | 23:34 |
| boxbeatsy | dj_segfault: yea, keywords can be phrases and search queries can also be phrases | 23:34 |
| aggrav8d | ah, so you're matching any part of the keyword, or the entire keyword? | 23:34 |
| === mersault_ is now known as mersault | ||
| dj_segfault | boxbeatsy: If that's the case, a database index won't do you any good, and you might as well use grep as others have said. That way you can even allow regular expressions | 23:35 |
| boxbeatsy | ya, i'm matching any part of the keyword. so alphabetizing might not help. | 23:35 |
| aggrav8d | no, bubblebuddy, I will not join #dongforce. wtf. | 23:35 |
| dj_segfault | I got that too. | 23:36 |
| dj_segfault | Can someone kick dongforce? | 23:36 |
| cfedde | also 11 million records is not all that big. maybe a gig or two. How fast do you need the searches to be? | 23:36 |
| aggrav8d | I just updated ubuntu and now i'm getting "client denied by server configuration" in my apache error log. I can't seem to access my sites. anyone know what's causing the problem? Google hasn't helped. | 23:36 |
| boxbeatsy | cfedde: less than 100ms is my goal | 23:36 |
| dj_segfault | aggrav8d: Without more information I would say your apache config is now set to respond to localhost only | 23:37 |
| boxbeatsy | when you say use grep, are you suggesting i set up a simple paste webserver and then grep a text file with all the data for a keyword and then sorting in programming logic? | 23:37 |
| aggrav8d | dj_segfault - how might i confirm that? | 23:37 |
| dj_segfault | CAN SOMEONE KICK DONGFORCE IN HIS PRIVATE PARTS PLEASE!! | 23:37 |
| dj_segfault | Try going to http://localhost on a browser on the server | 23:38 |
| aggrav8d | our forces combine, activate floodbot! | 23:38 |
| dj_segfault | Wonderpowers ACTIVATE! | 23:38 |
| cfedde | boxbeatsy: you did not say anyting up front about a web front end. But sure. a text field to collect the string and then grep agains the data seems like a simple approach. | 23:38 |
| robde | hello, "|" in the command-line forwards the output to the following command. is there a way to forward each line seperately to the subsequent command? | 23:38 |
| aggrav8d | dj_segfault - yeah, looks like you were right. please: how do i fix it? | 23:39 |
| aggrav8d | I'm very ignorant about running a server. | 23:39 |
| * aggrav8d really should just run a virtual lamp stack in on his home machine. | 23:39 | |
| cfedde | robde: generator command | while read l; do stuff with $l; done | 23:39 |
| conor_ireland | hi] | 23:40 |
| hallofick | hi | 23:40 |
| wylde | robde: #bash would likely be a better place for info of that nature. :) | 23:40 |
| dj_segfault | aggrav8d: gimme a sec to look it up | 23:40 |
| MirkoKa | how often do you need to search? does the pattern change? id the search needed on multiple systesm, do you even have a plain text "print-out" of the database? etc, greping on databases is absurd not to say ridiculous, ask an SQL forum for the real way :-) | 23:40 |
| cfedde | robde: and if "do stuff" is simple enough then try xargs | 23:40 |
| conor_ireland | on 11.10 and when i go into workspace switcher it keep displaying 4 desktops really small in a row and not a 2x2 grid no matter what settings i change, anyone know hwy? | 23:40 |
| aggrav8d | dj_segfault - when i go to "is ___ down or is it just me?" the site says just me. | 23:40 |
| boxbeatsy | hmmm ok i wil give that a try. thank you everyone for your help! | 23:41 |
| aggrav8d | dj_segfault: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/reverb-marketing.com | 23:41 |
| dj_segfault | aggrav8d: You should see a block at the top of the conf file that says something (probably localhost) then ":80" Change the thing before the colon to "*" and restart the server | 23:42 |
| Sefid_Par | Is it formal that sometimes downloading packages from "main server" become unreachable? I can not install from Main Server by that error ! | 23:43 |

| conor_ireland | I have compiz set as a 2x2 workspace grid, why are the workspaces not showing as 2x2? | 23:44 |

| dj_segfault | BlouBlou: Yes, the website does | 23:45 |
