[00:01] szal: didn't change anything .. I did a quick googlesearch
and tried a program called startup mangager, and when I ran it it showed
my startup res as being what it was before .. also, the options *it*
gives me for resolution don't give me any widescreen res's. =| ?? any
ideas?
[00:01] meaning I did that, and it didn't change haha
[00:01] [01:54:18] w0_: and remove the hashtag in front of
the line, otherwise it won't do anything
[00:01] I did .. lemme double check
[00:02] w0_, startup manager is abad idea it will not change
the line default with kernel updates, what release are you running.
[00:03] Hello I had previously disabled Intel virtualization
support in my BIOS and now I enabled it and I want to install virtualbox
and install a OS X guest. So I have installed vb and when I open up

thx dood!! ;)
[00:04] w0_: hmm, then I don't know.. VGA code perhaps, though I
believe I've read somewhere that these are supposed to be obsolete when
using Grub2, plus I wouldn't know one for 1920x1080 out of my head
[00:04] right on man =)

[00:11] test34: robin0800: but after i remove these two,
I'm assuming something was originally removed when I installed them, (aka
they must have replaced something else) so is there somethign i shuold

[00:11] I need help getting Grub fixed for Ubuntu 11.04. I'm
dual booting with Windows 7 and I think Grub got hosed after a Windows

straight into Windows. I'm currently running off of the Ubuntu LiveCD.
[00:11] no tcp replay tool for ubuntu... k
[00:12] KrazyKrivda, I tried to install it and it didnt ask me
to remove anything
[00:12] test34: ok, I will give hibernate another try now,
*fingers crossed*.. i'll be back either way

[00:14] robin0800, it seems like he installed something and it
broke the hibernate function.. "If It's Not Broken - Don't Fix It"

you.. all works well, although much slower, at least functional

[00:16] what does this mean ? chroot SSH users !?
[00:17] and is it important ?
[00:17] i hhad installed i think cs4 in wine and it ran ok
[00:17] because I'm installing something that will prevent
enabling chroot SSH users again if I said no now
[00:18] DonJuan, sounds like you got the sp1 in windows, the
reload of the mbr should work just read caerefully.
[00:18] daffy_ I have tried CS5, CS5 portable, CS5.5... gonna
try CS4 now hopefully it works -.-
[00:18] daffy_: does the installer work?
[00:18] I will enable it
[00:20] chrooting a user would 'lock down' the user account

[00:20] Dr_Willis: Ah , there is no users except me anyway :D
[00:21] Dollz: unless you have a reason to lock them down..
i wouldent be bothering.
[00:21] Dr_Willis: i'm the one and only
[00:21] Dollz: and you are doing all this stuff because?
[00:21] azbr00: I actually followed that step by step and im
still getting the error
[00:21] Dr_Willis: ehm .. I'm creating a website for video
transcoding :)
[00:21] Dollz: for you self?
[00:22] Dollz: and whats asking about chrooting users?
[00:22] Dr_Willis: it's ISPConfig
[00:22] Dr_Willis: it seems a great alternative to webmin /
cpanel
[00:22] Dollz: for a single user system.. i dont really see
the point of using webmin/.cpanel.
[00:23] what are you really configiging/admining.... :)
[00:23] Dr_Willis: yes , if that single user is good at linux :)
[00:23] what are you really admining... you install apache..
and what do you really need to change on it?..
[00:24] sort of like 'building a 3 story garrage to just
change your oil sounds like...'

[00:24] how do i kill a process from another 'tty' ?
[00:24] hmm , I don't know :D .. but some day for sure I will
need to change something
[00:24] BourneSSH: kill or killall
[00:24] whats the command to list running processes ?

[00:25] ps aux
[00:25] :)
[00:25] ps -ef !?
[00:25] BourneSSH: only running?
[00:25] ps aux will show all of them
[00:26] top ? then 'k'
[00:27] heres my problem, i am running a python app and it
has taken over the display and i cant kill it
[00:27] so i switched to a tty and i am trying to get it
closed
[00:27] BourneSSH: kill -9
[00:27] format your drive might solve the problem
[00:27] BourneSSH: thats one wya I guess. :) or alt-f2 and
run xkill
[00:27] :D
[00:28] ?
[00:28] BourneSSH: Process ID
[00:28] process id
[00:28] job controll basics. each process has an id. :)
[00:28] BourneSSH: process id of the python program

[00:29] what does it mean if ubuntu 10.04 wants to check my

[00:29] findit: Probably you performed an unclean
shutdown
[00:29] findit: business as usual
[00:29] i am also experiencing high load average, and it looks
like my cpu spends a lot of time in wait.
[00:29] findit: It means you should investigate the disks
further :)
[00:29] findit: it may be its failing to unmount them
properly when shutting down.
[00:30] or hd failing issues.. or other odditines.
[00:31] quit
[00:31] BourneSSH: it's /quit
[00:31] lol how do i close irssi ?
[00:35] u gotta love 'tty'
[00:35] if that would of been windows i would of have to
of rebooted
[00:35] alt-ctrl-del and hope taskmanager works.. :)
[00:36] yeah, if it comes up
[00:36] or alt-tab or something
[00:36] How do you get to the Unity task launcher, when a

[00:36] is it possible to write several files to an iso file?
[00:37] compdoc: you mean edit an iso files contents?

[00:37] theres tools to make iso files yes...
[00:38] as i was asking, why is it when i do 'sudo apt-get

[00:38] how do I install the kre7?
[00:38] jre7*
[00:39] @chaospsychex I'm pretty sure it's because 2.6 is
the default version. You can install python 3.1 from the Software Center,
but don't remove python 2.6. It'll mess stuff up.
[00:39] You can have python 2.6 and 3.0 both installed at teh
same time i imagine chaospsychex is why.

[00:39] yeahh
[00:39] ubuntu!
=== wilson_ is now known as Guest25385
[00:41] why will it mess stuff up if i remove 2.6?
[00:41] ubuntu uses 2.6 for stuff?
[00:41] Dr_Willis: I need sub-java.. and I tried to install
sun-java7-jre, but it didn't work
[00:41] this computer is offline though, so I can't use
apt-get
[00:42] @chaospsychex Yes. Programs written with python
might freak out. Ubuntu Forums has a lot of threads dealing with people
uninstalling 2.6.
[00:42] when i do 'python' from the terminal it's 2.6
[00:42] ubuntu is freezing up on me, like the whole shebang. I
can't even swithc to a virtual terminal. seems to happen when firefox
tries to connect to the net, but i think it has to do with video
drivers/xorg.
[00:42] how do i invoke 3.1 ?
[00:43] chaospsychex: python3 is the binary name
[00:43] please help!
[00:43] @chaospsychex I'm not sure, but I think it's
'python3.1'
[00:43] cmdbbq: can you ssh in from another machine?
[00:43] yup its 'python3.1'
[00:44] ne1 in here use 'guake' ?
[00:44] chaospsychex: I have
[00:45] i freaking love it
[00:45] @chaospsychex I've heard of it. I'm thinking of
installing
[00:45] it's nice
[00:45] What is it?
[00:45] Hello! im trying to get my external monitor to
display its proper resolution (1080p) and for some reason ubuntu is
tellin me that the max res is 1024x768
[00:45] how do i fix this :(
[00:45] I used it for a while, but I find it kind of
unnecessary because I always have multiple terminals anyway and can just
bounce to the corner of my screen to get a new one
[00:45] yeats: yes
[00:45] elgruntox: fix what?
[00:45] cmdbbq: what does 'top' say?
[00:45] @chaospsychex If it's the pop-down terminal thing, I
just use ctrl-alt-t instead. Opens up the terminal.
[00:45] http://guake.org/
[00:46] yeats: although the machine is not frozen right now. I
will reproduce the bug and see
[00:46] scorchgeek: the. resolution
[00:46] what do you mean 'bounce' to the corner of your
screen ?
[00:46] its a 1920x1080 monitor
[00:46] chaospsychex: there's a compiz thing that makes
corners "active"
[00:46] So, I just installed 11.04. Got flgrx installed for my
ATI 6970 card, and oddly Compiz effects don't seem to be available. I'm
sorta newbish so I assume I'd enable them under "Appearance" but visual
effects tab isn't present
[00:46] and you can have them start a program
[00:46] oh i don't have compiz, thats the cube thing aint
it?
[00:46] chaospsychex: and lots of other effects and options
[00:46] like that :)
[00:46] @Aszurom install ccsm
[00:47] elgruntox: sorry, I didn't see your first post
[00:47] its okay
[00:47] @chaospsychex Compiz controls the cube thing. It
controls a lot of other stuff too.
[00:47] compiz is a WM?
[00:47] iwantfroyo, thanks
[00:47] replaces meta-city when you install it ?
[00:47] I'm shocked it's not defaultly installed
[00:47] yeats: the machine is frozen, Xorg is using 100% cpu
[00:47] elgruntox: as far as a solution, the only thing I
could tell you is to update your graphics driver, but I don't know if
that will help
[00:47] @chaospsychex no it isn't. It draws the desktop
(along with nautilus). [I think]
[00:48] I also don't remember how to do that
[00:48] scorchgeek: how would I go about doing that for my
intel 3000
[00:48] i thought ubuntu wouldve asked me to update or
something
[00:48] cmdbbq: memory full? swapping? high system load?
[00:48] compiz is a window manager,. you use compiz or
metacity.. :L)
[00:48] @Aszurom if you give ccsm to people who don't know
what they're doing, they usually break it. If you're using Unity, be very
careful. Very easy to break it.
[00:49] @Dr_Willis I thought Ubuntu's wm was gnome-wm. I
didn't know compiz could act as one.
[00:49] yes, last time I played with it I managed to make
windows have no title bar, I fixed that and you couldn't drag them around
the screen
[00:49] fortunately a bit of googling fixed it
[00:49] what was the problem?
[00:49] for some reason these features are all plugins that
can be turned off
[00:49] iwantfroyo: compiz is a window manager, as is
metacity.. theres no 'gnome-wm' its 'metacity' by default for no
eyecandy. compiz for all effects
[00:49] Can someone help me configure lm_sensors?
[00:49] dirty ole ubuntu, so hot
[00:49] sensors-detect doesn't find any sensors.
=== partybros is now known as Tbay_JohnnyBlaze
[00:50] iwantfroyo, yeah it's just that without compiz enabled
for some reason my windows feel chuggy moving them around
[00:50] yeats: no, no swap in use, average amount of memory in
use. system load average.
[00:50] @Dr_Willis If you go into gconf-editor, the same
area that lists gnome-panel as the panel lists gnome-wm as the wm.
[00:50] yo yo yo im reppin tbay yo
[00:50] @Dr_Willis I think it's a part of Gnome
[00:50] reppin hard
[00:50] cmdbbq: so I guess it is just the X server freaking out
[00:51] how can I check if I have a bluetooth antenna in my
laptop through ubuntu?
[00:51] how do i use the 'cube' thing of compiz? what do i
hit?
[00:51] @Dr_Willis Actually I think you're right. Gnome-wm
must control the theme. Sorry.
[00:51] the same as to switch virtual desktops
[00:51] but you have to set it up in ccsm first
[00:51] chaospsychex: if you use natty, there is a guide on
omg!ubuntu! blog
[00:51] chaospsychex, you can use Ctrl Alt Left or Right
[00:52] @chaospsychex Install ccsm, then activate "Rotate
Cube" and "Desktop Cube"
[00:52] chaospsychex, be careful find a web link for
instructions.
[00:52] @chaospsychex to trigger it, switch desktops with
ctrl-arrow.
[00:52] ctrl alt left,right isnt a cube
[00:52] #list
[00:52] its 4 2d windows
[00:53] @chaospsychex you have to activate it in ccsm.
[00:53] yeats: would there be some way to get back to the
default xserver configuration?
[00:53] ok installing ccsm

[00:58] iwantfroyo: sounds sick
[00:58] chaospsychex, window snap is what happens when you
bring a window close to an edge. The borders light up with yellow, and
you can make a window fit perfectly into half a screen, or full screen by
bumping it on the top.
[01:00] windows burning up when they close? sounds just like my
real last home.
[01:01] photon, it's an effect. You can also make them
explode, trickle, etc.
[01:01] omg cairo dock is SICK!
[01:01] hi. anyways to disable unity?
[01:01] iwantfroyo: is this installed by default in compiz?

[01:01] ionite: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity.
To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the
Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic".
[01:02] photon: No. Search Synaptic for compiz, and you
should find a package with a name similar to compiz-plugins (can't
remember).
[01:02] iwantfroyo: ok
[01:02] thanks
[01:02] photon: It'll give you a lot of other cool stuff,
too.

[01:04] noah, can't you install them via Synaptic?
[01:04] so, xserver is panicking when i launch firefox and,
although I can ssh in whille the machine is frozen, i can effect only
limited change, ie the shutdown command has no apparent effect.
[01:04] I havent tried
[01:05] @noah That's probably the best way. I don't know how
to install external themes, since I don't use XFCE, but Synaptic should
add a few themes.
[01:05] I extract them (ive only tried once) and I just keep
extracting, the package seems to be stuck as a tar.gz or as just .tar
[01:05] iwantfroyo: i installed the extra compiz plugins,
how do i configure them or turn them on ?
[01:05] well poo so much for ubuntu just working for me
[01:05] hi. is ubuntu heavy for a net book atom processory with
only 2gb of ram?
[01:05] wish i could display my damn native resolution
[01:06] noah: both xfce and gnome use gtk
[01:06] chaospsychex, they should turn on by themselves.
Just go into ccsm, and look around.
[01:06] ok
[01:06] chaospsychex, You should have a few new sections,
and more window management options and effects.
[01:06] yeah i see it

xubuntu would be better
[01:07] noah: you won't get aircrack support here
[01:07] where then?
[01:07] nvm, the aircrack website got some channels

why would ubuntu be heavy for a netbook?
[01:08] anyone else have issues with intel 3000 and external
monitors
[01:08] lubuntu is LXDE ionite
[01:08] ionite, Unity might be, but it'll probably default
you into Gnome Classic, which should work fine. If it doesn't default you
into there, you should probably consider trying it anyways.
[01:08] hi guys is this the write room to get help with
Ubuntu? I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless network.
[01:08] ionite: my netbook was able to run kde and gnome
just fine. some heavy eyecandy effects might bog it down a bit. but it
did work decently well.
[01:09] ionite, lubuntu is LXDE, xubuntu is XFCE, kubuntu is
KDE. Ubuntu's default DE is Gnome with the Unity shell, which is a little
heavy for older/weaker systems.
[01:09] ionite: for the lightest desktop = lubuntu.
[01:09] so i guess ubuntu is not for me..
[01:09] ionite: I run regular ubuntu on a netbook without any
problems - FYI
[01:09] ionite, those are opinions your getting not actual use
I have that set up with unity and the cube runs sbapy.
[01:09] ionite: ubuntu ran fine on my netbook.
[01:09] snappy*
[01:09] ionite: only real issue was watching HD video files.
that was a bit much for it.
[01:09] does lubuntu gets the same support in channel ubuntu?
[01:10] ionite, It works perfectly fine, even on the normal
Ubuntu installation (it'll put you into Gnome without the Unity shell,
which is fast, and in my opinion, better)
[01:10] so the answer is try it yourself......
[01:10] ionite: the layout of programs and menus are
diffent. but its supported in #lubuntu mainly. or here.
[01:10] ionite, If you want something really fast, try
Lubuntu.
[01:10] ionite: just dont use an external monitor!!
[01:10] elgruntox, wrong.
[01:10] iwantfroyo: if you want amazingly fast use terminal ;)
[01:10] right!
[01:10] so i'll just off my unity and 3d settings right?
[01:10] I imagine lubuntu will get more use by more people in
the future as the backlash against gnome3 and unity grows :)
[01:11] I HATE UNITY.
[01:11] had to be said.
[01:11] xangua, I've used cli exclusively on Arch. It really
is nice, but I like being able to see the Ubuntu Forums pictures.
=== quu|away is now known as Quutar
[01:11] I LOVE UNITY.
[01:11] had to be said.
[01:11] photon: its a work in progress.. in the 11.10
release - its gaining some nice features.
[01:12] * photon strongly disagrees with valorin, but respects his/her
opinion.
[01:12] photon, Unity is a relatively new project. If you
want to see a really beautiful Unity, try Oneiric (11.10). Can't
guarantee stability, however. It's in beta.
[01:12] Dr_Willis: what's bad about gnom3 and unity?
[01:12] ionite: forceing me to 'work' in ways i dont want
to. :)
[01:13] so ubuntu have got a obstacle now which is unity?
[01:13] and lots of little quirks...
[01:13] ionite, There's nothing wrong with them. They just
use a lot of graphics resources.
[01:13] iwantfroyo: i'm only with 256 mb.
[01:13] iwantfroyo: hmm ok
[01:13] * valorin strongly disagrees with photon, but respects his/her
opinion.
[01:13] Jesus fucking Christ Ubuntu so FUCKING MEGA sucks.
Unity is a damn JOKE. Use Debian or Arch Linux!!!
[01:13] ionite, graphics memory?
[01:13] :)
[01:13] suck my cock faggots
[01:13] kick
[01:13] kick
[01:13] Evollana: Please don't flood; use
http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:13] ionite: when you have 30+ yrs of using systems..
and then suddendly they change things for ways that dont seem to make
things any better.. its an issue.
[01:14] could I suggest somewhere what compiling options
should be used for software in the Ubuntu repo's? maybe I should use
brainstorm for that?
[01:14] Dr_Willis++
[01:14] iwantfroyo: i do i invoke the 3dwindow ?
[01:14] * racho disagrees with valorin and photon, but respect their
opinions while working in G-Shell
[01:14] Dr_Willis: alright... sounds not very friendly
[01:14] ionite: depends on what you m ean by friendly. :)
thats a vague term - always has been
[01:14] Dr_Willis, it is a opinion.
[01:14] hola a todos, alguien en español?
[01:14] ionite, They're not very customizable, so you
shouldn't go for them if you like customization. However, they are VERY
efficient, having stuff like universal searches, and so on.
[01:14] btw how do i install p7zip package?
[01:14] !es | yurgt1_
[01:14] yurgt1_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla
sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal
#ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter.
[01:15] it's not just with Ubuntu. A lot of software developers
recently seem to think "Hey, we run out of ideas, so instead of making
the existing system better and bug-free, let's just invent something
completely new, just for the sake of it."
[01:15] mencoder should really be compiled with twolame.. I
can encode it myself, but it would be more convenient if it was just
compiled in by default
[01:15] Im getting so used to how my android phone works.. i
want a desktop more like it. :)
[01:15] *encode=compile
[01:16] hi
[01:16] dean: hi
[01:16] Hmm. mdadm seems to be buggy wrt OutOfMemory
conditions. I installed a raid level 1 array /dev/md0 with 2 disks:
"/dev/sdb" "missing". Formatted as reiserFS. THEN, some apps triggered O
O M while I was sleeping. I rebooted with Ubuntu dialog for
Shutdown/Reboot. After bootup, the file system of /dev/md0 became
"Unknown" as palimpsest shows it. Something has also changed the device
name from /dev/md0 into /dev/md_d0 (I haven't commanded to do s
[01:16] where are you from?
[01:16] photon, Unity was a project to try to make Ubuntu
stand above the crowd. In my opinion, it worked well for those who liked
it. If you didn't like the change, you should try some other DE. They're
still free and available, you know.
[01:16] Dr_Willis: how do i install p7zip full for my unetbootin
to install ubuntu?
[01:16] photon, I can understand that. I personally find Unity
to work the way I like to work, but I do know a number of people who
don't work the same way and prefer traditional Gnome 2. Each to his/her
own :)
[01:17] iwantfroyo: is it possible to disable unity?
[01:17] ionite, you don't need 7zip for unetbootin
[01:17] so does anyone have an idea on how to fix my external
monitor issue
[01:17] if you install the unetbootin package it should pull
in all it needs.
[01:17] urlin2u: i was prompted so.
[01:17] ive updated my graphics drivers
[01:17] what terminal based irc clients do you guys use
[01:17] still cant 1080p
[01:18] fission6: i perfer weechat these days. over irssi
[01:18] ionite, yes. If you don't have enough resources, it
will do that for you. If you have enough resources but don't like it, log
out, look at the bottom of the screen (there should be a drop down menu
that says "Ubuntu"), and change it to "Ubuntu Classic"
[01:18] ionite, your getting alot of bogus opinions here just
frealize that.
[01:18] :(*
[01:18] realize*
[01:18] Dr_Willis: ok
[01:18] how can an opinion be bogus.. its an opinion.. :)
[01:18] I like blue paint.. :) is that bogus?
[01:19] lets stick to support please
[01:19] Dr_Willis, if prefaced with my opinion that is okay I
have seen that just once, a new user may not know the difference.
[01:19] hello. I've been thinking to use GPT on a boot disk, but
I'm not sure how the partitioning should look. if anyone would pastebin a
gdisk -l /dev/sdX from a working GPT boot disk would be great...
[01:19] ionite, Ubuntu Classic will give you the Gnome 2
without the Unity shell (which is the heavy part). Gnome 2 is quite
quick. My old circa 2000 machine works fine with it.
[01:19] id love support IdleOne !
[01:19] iwantfroyo, valorin: sure, I understand, but wouldn't it
make more sense for those developers to invest their time into fixing
bugs/security holes/memory leaks, etc? I'm sure there are still a lot of
them around which are yet to be found. but instead they are doing the
same mistake as Microsoft with Windows. putting a completely new OS out
every few years. at least they have a reason, revenue, but that's not the
case with Ubuntu. it's free anyway.
[01:19] ionite: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
[01:19] IdleOne is a power hunger GEEK who sucks man cocks and
likes to get his man flower busted one a week. A NOOB at *nix. GEEK
[01:19] IdleOne, accurtae support would be nice.
[01:20] accurate*
[01:20] suck it nun
[01:20] buguldey: that was what i was looking for.. lovely.
[01:20] IdleOne: do you know how i can go about getting my
monitor to use its native resolution?
[01:20] elgruntox: no.
[01:20] great!
[01:20] open source to the rescue yet again
[01:20] elgruntox: someone in here probably does.
[01:20] elgruntox, what exactly is your problem?
[01:20] besides the environment what is the diff between KDE and
Ubuntu?
[01:20] ionite: you can use 'aptitude search packagename' (w/o
quotes) to search for packages
[01:21] elgruntox: have you tried installing the proper graphic
card drivers? that often fixed that problem for me.
[01:21] elgruntox, have you looked in monitors/display
[01:21] yes yes and yes!
[01:21] photon, The goal with Natty was to get Unity
started. It isn't meant to be a bug-free system, or a completely stable
one. The goal is to get it bug free and stable by 12.04. In between LTS
releases, new concepts are formed and put into action. You have to expect
them to have bugs.
[01:21] monitors/display only lets me set it to 1024
[01:21] drivers are updated
[01:21] ionite: or aptitude search keyword
[01:21] and my xorg.conf is empty
[01:21] IdleOne, are you a woman. I mean you don't know dick
about *nix. AntiSec is still floating =)
[01:21] I can't seem to get flash to work with 11.04. have it
installed from software center, but I keep ghetting messages about
installing a missing plugin.
[01:22] elgruntox, what does xrandr -q spits
[01:22] Friar: are you using Firefox?
[01:22] ionite, The KDE version of Ubuntu is called Kubuntu,
and it comes with programs written in Qt (normal Ubuntu is GTK).
[01:22] lol trying to do a trace
[01:22] Get some real tools
[01:22] Friar, install the restricted-extras
[01:22] racho: i shall find out
[01:22] ok. noone answered about mdadm.
[01:23] racho: it says 1920x1080
[01:23] for hdmi
[01:23] so im assuming its supported but i cant change it in
the monitor settings app
[01:23] what the difference between descktop & server if I need
install server at home with GUI?
[01:23] so ubuntu is more rigid in softwares and less
customizable?
[01:24] photon, I am using firefox...urlin2u can I just do sudo
apt-get install restricted-extras?
[01:24] ionite, No. Ubuntu uses Gnome by default, which is
written in GTK. GTK programs run better in Gnome, and Qt programs run
better in KDE.
[01:24] Friar, yep.
[01:24] Friar: do what urlin2u said, if it does not work, I can
give you another option.
[01:24] racho: any idea?
[01:24] Friar, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:24] ionite, You can still run Qt programs in Gnome, and
vice versa. They just won't support stuff like dragging something from
one program to another.
[01:25] ionite: gnome progrmas tend to be designed to be
less configurable.
[01:25] urlin2u...ah got it...didn't recognize without ubuntu in
front.
[01:25] elgruntox, just a moment to refresh my memory with the
manpage :)
[01:25] ionite: as a way to make them more user friendly.
[01:25] All right ya cunts I am getting tired of your LOL
Linux noob stuff. Get a real system like Arch or BackTrack 5. Metasploit
framework and learn some RFI, OFI and XSS with some nice SQL injection
tricks.
[01:25] later
[01:25] racho: you rock!
[01:25] still puzzled in between kde and ubuntu wonder which
should i try sighs.
[01:25] Dr_Willis, Gnome programs are plenty customizable.
Just usually behind the scenes. The options aren't right there in front
of you.
[01:25] thanks photon, and urlin2u.
[01:26] iwantfroyo: often not even behind the scenes...
[01:26] MR-Hands sociopath or narcissist which I wonder
[01:26] got another question about photography with
ubuntu....I've read about programs that you can use to control a nikon
d90 with your computer.
[01:26] photon, I think part of it comes down to being
innovative. A lot of users, like yourself, are happy to use a rock solid
desktop which doesn't change, while others like to try new things and
designs. There is the "shiny" affect as well, where being new and pretty
attracts users. But I personally find the launcher and dash to be a lot
quicker and easier to use than the old menus, so I'll never go back. I
find unity better, even tho
[01:26] ugh it's got bugs and issues, they are being resolved
and the experience gets better over time.
[01:26] Dr_Willis, that is true. KDE has its merits, and
Gnome does too. KDE is better for customization, I agree.
[01:26] Dr_Willis: Please, what the difference between descktop
& server if I need install server at home with GUI?
[01:26] elgruntox, you have a laptop/netbook or desktop
[01:26] does anyone know what that is? i'm looking to do some
night photography with my camera
[01:27] bosyak: server has no gui.. if you dont know that
you need a server.. stick to the desktop edition
[01:27] bosyak: what do you need a GUI on a server for?
[01:27] ionite, You can install normal Ubuntu, then install
the kubuntu-desktop package, which well let you log into whichever you
choose.
[01:27] bosyak: you can run services on the desktop
editiion
[01:27] racho: laptop with hdmi out
[01:27] toa monitor
[01:27] ionite, I find installing KDE onto Ubuntu is easier
than installing Gnome+Unity onto Kubuntu.
[01:27] im trying to set the monitors display
[01:27] Friar, you're welcome.:D
[01:27] ionite: i tend to install lubuntu, kubuntu, and
ubuntu all on my system. :)
[01:28] wife uses lubuntu, i normally use kubuntu, sometimes
i use ubuntu.
[01:28] hey guys, help me out here, I've always
wondered how to format a pendrive/usb flashdrive/thumbdrive on linux (my
lubuntu), in win7 all I do is rite click format on My Computer, how do I
go about this on lubuntu, just use Gparted then delete partition, add new
partition ??
[01:28] X_already_in_use: gparted an do it.. yes.. or
command line tools.
[01:28] Dr_Willis, Wow. That's a lot. I'm considering trying
LXDE myself (despite using Linux for years, I've never really tried it).
What do you think of it?
[01:28] X_already_in_use: you can also right clic-format
[01:28] iwantfroyo: lubuntu works decently well.
[01:29] iwantfroyo: its missing a few little things.. but
nothing major.
[01:29] Dr_Willis, Alright. Thank you. I'll try it when I
have the time.
[01:29] Hi, anyone knows hot to activate opengl on photoshop using
wine?
[01:29] Dr_Willis, szal I want install server (postfix, VM,
httpd,...) for test enviroment... and in the same time work like on
desktop. And I want to know what the difference between distribution
(server vs desktop)
[01:29] is their anyway to change the way shell reads and
puts out data size from kb to mb? for example 7,583 kb/10,000
downloading?
[01:29] from apt-get and such
[01:29] bosyak: as i said.. you can install services on the
desktop install...
[01:30] bosyak: theres no real reason for you to use the
server install just to play with some services
[01:30] elgruntox, xrandr --output *device name here* --mode
1920x1080
[01:30] Dr_Willis: ok, thanks
[01:30] * szal doesn't think there is a difference, the kernel is the
same on *buntu
[01:31] hey that worked racho
[01:31] do i have to do that every time i log in
[01:31] or reboot
[01:31] server i think installs a differnet default kernel..
and a few other little things.. but its easier to install services on
desktop . then install a desktop on server install..
[01:31] valorin: I guess I'm just being old-fashioned. I prefer
a stable, secure system over something brand new anytime, although I do
understand the appeal. but I honestly don't want Linux to get a lot of
users, because then black-hat hackers and malicious people will focus
their attacks more and more on Linux. You can see that starting with the
Macintosh now. And I honestly don't think that Linux is that much safer
than any other OS, yes it's architecture
[01:31] is safer by design than, say, Windows, but still. too
many bugs and security holes are still found years after an initial
release.
[01:31] xangua, where do I rite click format in linux?
to format the pendrive/thumbdrive
[01:31] X_already_in_use: on the pendrive icon...
[01:31] elgruntox, i suppose it will work until reboot. but you
can always make a little script to start it automatically
[01:31] racho: actualy nevermind now i can select it in the
menu
[01:32] i just clicked set default so i hope that worked!
[01:32] thanks a bunch for the help
[01:32] photon, I agree. The good thing is the code is open,
so if Ubuntu becomes really mainstream, people who need more security can
just switch.
[01:32] elgruntox, :) you're welcome
[01:32] is there anyway to change the way the term prints out
data size from KB to MB?
[01:32] i guess the settings app didnt detect my monitor
properly or something
[01:32] weird
[01:32] xangua, i dont see the reformat option
[01:33] iwantfroyo: switch? to another distro?
[01:33] elgruntox, the answer is probably in the Xorg logs
[01:33] xangua, im using pcman file manager
[01:33] X_already_in_use: well in ubuntu gnome it is
[01:33] xangua, interesting, will check that out. thnx
for the tips anyways
[01:33] X-Chat Gnome is pretty weird compared to the OSX
version
[01:33] photon, Yeah. Ubuntu isn't actually too different
from other distros, and some of the others are a lot more security
focused.

and created a partition of 100 gb and 400 gb now my home folder is 100 gb
and i cannot use the 400 gb
[01:46] j
[01:46] No, don't want Unity Classic. I just want the sidebar to
work. Unity is excellent, but buggier than a Microsoft product.
[01:46] etfb: You can tell it to hide
[01:47] #linux-config !
[01:47] need to export it to my / partition on ubuntu
[01:47] usr13, how?
[01:47] etfb: its a work in progress.. its improved a lot in
11.10
[01:47] ive tried gtkpod
[01:47] freshone0: the 400GB is prob unallocated try - Gparted
[01:47] what should be the mount point for the 400 gb so that
i can use it..
[01:47] but im unable to select all the tracks :/
[01:47] & kit keeps crashing on me :/
[01:47] *it
[01:47] mount point is /
[01:47] hi guys was wondering how you install gnome-shell in
ubuntu 11.10 beta 1
[01:48] should it be something else
[01:48] Dr_Willis, it's already excellent. I'm a refugee from the
great KDE 4 debacle, so I know a well-handled roll-out when I see it.
[01:48] etfb: Well, I'm not sure how I did it, but....well I
think my wife did.
[01:48] and if one does not want a partition will it work
[01:48] is there an easier way to export all 5000 songs to my
Ubuntu root ?
[01:48] anyone know how to get xscreensaver to run under
root?
[01:48] !gtkpod
[01:48] etfb: i would not use the term execellent. :)
[01:49] Dr_Willis, as I said - after KDE4, everything looks good.
[01:49] does ipod get mounted?
[01:49] Oh, it's because she uses full screen mode I guess.
[01:49] hi, my glxgears is not working. i get this message:
"Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." i removed my nvidia
card and now im using onboard video. how can i fix it?
[01:49] etfb: i find kde4 very useable right now
[01:49] pardon my ignorance
[01:49] Dr_Willis, probably is - it's what, two years since it was
made standard in Kubuntu? Three? Long enough for it to finally be
ready.
[01:50] hmmmm
[01:50] etfb: and in 3 years. unity may be muchbetter. :)
[01:50] or it may be a dead project.
[01:50] I think it's because she toggles back and forth with F11
[01:50] Oh certainly. I look forward to the day that the icon bar
up the top works properly with XChat, Skype, etc, the menus in
LibreOffice are integrated, the bloody sidebar hides when it's supposed
to...
[01:50] what should ber the mount location or point for the
400 gb partition?
[01:50] in 3 years Ubuntu maybe the best OS ever
[01:51] i mean better than OS X
[01:51] swaroop: already is
[01:51] dont agree
[01:51] recently osx copied all it's features
[01:51] my Ubuntu still crashes
[01:51] when i use firefox + Facebook
[01:51] but that is offtopic here ;)
[01:52] to me Ubuntu rules
[01:52] but the UI can be better
[01:52] anyways....
[01:52] swaroop: odd never had facebook crash my ubuntu
here...
[01:52] could i get help with my ipod classic?
[01:52] UI is hard. Adding features is always the fun part of
programming; getting the existing features to work is boring.
[01:52] i asked like 3 times already :/
[01:52] freshone0: mount it whever you want. dependign on
your needs
[01:52] freshone0, is it the rootfs or separate partition?
[01:52] just an fyi nettalk is probably the nicest windows
client out there
[01:53] UI is what normal customers like
[01:53] err users even
[01:53] they want the bells & whistles
[01:53] me included
[01:53] Gnome Shell rocks!

[01:54] I'm seeing sysadmin jobs in RTP area posting like 4 to
1 Linux vs Windows. So I thought I'd get with it, install Ubuntu and
force myself to use it at home
[01:54] how are you going to get 500gb when you said it was
400gb....
[01:55] Dr_Willis, i suppose he parted his drive 100Gb /home and
the rest /

[01:58] Xangua omg!ubuntu! ?
[01:58] not that i promote omg!ubuntu! blog but almost all you
are asking is there
[01:58] im currently tri-boot Win7, Ubuntu, Backtrack5 R1 my Grub
is F****D'up, how do i repair it?
[01:58] Aszurom: is a blog
[01:58] I assume it doesn't have bangs in the url
[01:58] Aszurom: the webupd8 blog site has unity tweaks.
check my links at http://delicious.com/dr_willis
[01:58] i donot want any partitions...
[01:59] how does one achive that?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before
Karmic (9.10)
[01:59] MX1i: boot to one of the ubuntu/linux's and rerun
update-grub - so it can refresh them grub menus.. ubuntu should be able
to handle them all.
[01:59] Dr_Willis: That may be, but they decided to promote a
few use cases and make the others impossible. Now I can no longer click
on the bar to scroll a screenful or middle click to scroll to that point
[01:59] this is why I like Ubuntu... because years ago all
you'd get in the * Linux channels was "RTFM! go away!"

[01:59] hi, my glxgears is not working. i get this message:
"Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." i removed my nvidia
card and now im using onboard video. how can i fix it?
[01:59] whats oftc's server info
[01:59] freshone0: What do you mean? You don't want any
partitions. You have to have partitions.
[01:59] i donot want any partitions... how does one achive
that?
[01:59] so i can join #debian
[01:59] freshone0: You can't
[01:59] Aszurom: and now a days we actually have good docs
to read,. and no one bothers. :)
[02:00] lol
[02:00] freshone0: Do you mean you want everyuthing on a single
partition?
[02:00] freshone0: why are you not wanting parittions?
[02:00] alazare619: just /join #debian. freenode's is bigger
anyway.
[02:00] free nodes is bigger then the official #debian on
oftc?
[02:00] hsantiago: have you installed the latest nvidia drivers?
[02:00] ok then i want to be able to use the 400 gb it is
mounted at / . what does that mean
[02:00] alazare619: yes
[02:00] hmm ironic
[02:01] photon: yes, before i remove my card it was
everything ok
[02:01] freshone0: if its mounted to / then you are using
it...
[02:01] they just need to convert over the freenode then lol
[02:01] my only real regret is the lack of a spotify client -
afaik
[02:01] freshone0: Is /home currently on a separate partition?
[02:01] freshone0: DO you realize that it is impossible to use a
storage device without partitions?
[02:01] Aszurom: i think ive seen guides on gettting it
working in wine very well.
[02:01] i mean i cannot copy or store a file in the 400 gb
partition
[02:01] Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.com/6QERL9xK - where is my
/sda3,/sda5? or does that look right?
[02:01] oh wait, they DO have one
[02:01] dizzam
[02:01] yes a separate 100 gb
[02:02] freshone0: Why not?
[02:02] freshone0: Not enough space?
[02:02] MX1i: sda5 is /
[02:02] home is separate 100 gb
[02:02] freshone0: wrong filesystem type?
[02:02] installed love, downloaded
http://stabyourself.net/dl.php?file=nottetris2/nottetris2-linux.zip ran
it and all I see is a blackscreen.
[02:02] freshone0: missing permissions?
[02:02] yes
[02:02] Dr_Willis: alright, brb ill reboot and see if it worked,
thanks.
[02:03] bbl. off to work
[02:03] freshone0: Making a single partition won't solve that
problem. You need to work on permissions
[02:03] i do not know of the file system may be it is ext4
[02:03] freshone0: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #And send resulting
URL. Let us have a look.
[02:03] Where would the file for adding the usb adress to let
ubuntu recognise usb? Forgot...
[02:03] freshone0: I recommend creating a directory on / and
giving your user write permissions there
[02:03] freshone0: Then, you'll be able to save files there

this? im trying but without success

[02:20] and send resulting URL
[02:20] And I'm not sure how, or how to phrase the question
properly to google it.
[02:20] swaroop, do you have a point dir for mounting? have you
edited /etc/fstab and see if it works??
[02:20] anyone know why people lose video play back in ubuntu
10.10
[02:20] ?
[02:20] Benwin: Well, first off, put an entry for it in
/etc/hosts
[02:21] Benwin: I think the best approach is to either edit
/etc/hosts on all machines or if there are too many, set up a DNS server
[02:21] install iTunes in wine
[02:21] M452s: this is the method I use. sudo add-apt-
repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get
install flashplugin64-nonfree
[02:21] I have ipod touch want to make so I don't need
router ssh into the ipod ? what are my options ?
[02:21] mssever: there are 14 machines behind the router, so the
router needs to be updated if possible.
[02:21] It's a LAN center of sorts.
[02:21] so it's not feasible to alter all computers behind the
firewall.
[02:22] Benwin: My recommendation would be to set up BIND9 or
some other DNS server on one machine, then configure your router to hand
out that machine's IP for the DNS server instead of your ISP's
[02:22] http:/paste.ubuntu.com/683035/
[02:22] guys
[02:23] Benwin: I've done something similar in the past and it
worked well
[02:23] Benwin: Then put nameserver 127.0.0.1
[02:23] M452s, or download the beta from adobe.com and put in
~/.mozzila/plugins
[02:23] in /etc/resolv.conf
[02:23] when i play videos on ubuntu 10.10 some times they
crash the media player and i cant seem to play videos anymore on any
player any ideas ?
[02:23] M452s, assuming you're with FF
[02:23] any help guys?
[02:23] Benwin: usr13 nameserver 127.0.0.1 will break your
network
[02:24] racho: yeah im using ff
[02:24] |NeXuS|: run a video player from the command line and see
if there is error output?
[02:24] M452s:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/
[02:24] Benwin: usr13 You need to use your local DNS server's
external IP (probably 192.168.something)
[02:24] flash-aid firefox : firefox plugin that installs flash
for you
[02:24] M452s: Place the .so file in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
and you're off.
[02:25] mssever: No it wont
[02:25] use the sevenmachines PPA
[02:25] no need to copy/move files
[02:25] Benwin, you can run a local forwarding cache on
127.0.0.1 http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache-home.html
[02:25] usr13: It'll only work on the machine that's running
the nameserver
[02:25] usr13: not the rest of the network
[02:25] correct
[02:25] Benwin, or you can use Google's public DNS

internet but I have a usb flash drive
[02:27] Is there a way to check what the name of my device is?
all I know its a netgear
[02:27] Benwin, "there are 14 machines behind the router, so the
router needs to be updated if possible" What is the OS/brand/config of
this router
[02:28] Um
[02:28] lspci
[02:28] shows hardware
[02:28] 3.06 ghz dual-cpu Xeon
[02:28] 6gb of ram
[02:28] I'm sorry, but I'm just a little to excited not
to share this: elucidatedbinary.com/2011/09/open-gedit-in-the-current-
working-directory
[02:28] quad 73.6gb SCSI Ultra320 drives
[02:28] ty Nexus
[02:28] the OS is Ubuntu Benwin?
[02:28] 10.04
[02:29] ok
[02:29] I have SSH and console access.
[02:29] is it the DHCP server?
[02:29] yes
[02:29] cool
[02:29] what is its IP?
[02:29] .254
[02:29] on the clients
[02:29] even ubuntu 11.10 can't see my sata 3 disk :/
[02:29] Que?
[02:29] sorry let me get a complete thought ready
[02:30] So the router is online yes? it can piong google?
[02:30] Ok so I have a Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology
Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)
[02:30] how do I get this to work?
[02:30] I'm talking to you through it. :)
[02:30] yay
[02:30] It's *fully* functional.
=== das is now known as Guest73276
[02:30] It has been for three months now.
[02:30] I just need to change this *one* tiny little thing.
[02:30] I'm hosting a minecraft server in-house
[02:31] ok on each DHCP client should get DNS automatically
(windows boxes?)
[02:31] so I need mc.thedomain.com to resolve to 192.168.1.5
(which is the LAN IP of the minecraft server)
[02:31] Benwin, is that deadly ?
[02:31] Knuxgen, maybe change from BIOS from IDE to AHCI
[02:31] I knew I was missing something... obvious
[02:31] IT's a LAN center.
[02:31] I can't control all machines connecting out
[02:31] So if they have a custom DNS
[02:32] meway what distro you got 10.10 ?
[02:32] So I just need the router box to snag all requests to
mc.thedomain.com and forward them to .5
[02:32] Benwin, how often do the 14 hosts get swapped out
changed or otherwise reconfigured
[02:32] |NeXuS|: actually its the latest Lubuntu but it seems to
be vertually the same thing
[02:32] k, Im trying to mod an xbox, but facing a problem...
[02:32] you can make a hosts file entry on each client
[02:32] kbhtech: ??
[02:32] right now, there are 14 DHCP leases active.
[02:33] I do this all the time with less than25 hosts
[02:33] Is there any way to make my laptop like the router ?
so I can hook up wireless to other pc ?
[02:33] 8 of those machines are owned by people that aren't me.
[02:33] So I can't control their hosts file.
[02:33] I cannot find slayers products.
[02:33] ahhh ok
[02:33] So I need the router to snag all traffic to that one
subdomain
[02:33] lol
[02:33] kbhtech what kind of mod?
[02:33] you need a split horizon DNS server is what you need
this other thing I am struggling to remember the name of

[02:34] Well currently trying to through xmbc on the drive, but

[02:34] dose he need the windows wireless card drivers ?
[02:35] who knows of a mod channel for xbox, xbins is no longer
populated.
[02:36] I have to go for about 30 minutes, rickup. I'll be back
around 11:15 eastern time. Sorry.
[02:36] i need to get permissions to use the 400 gb partion
out of my 500 gb HDD my home is the remaining 100 gb
[02:36] Benwin, I will be herer
[02:36] i need the home to be 400 gb
[02:36] kbtech view my query
[02:37] can you connect to pc wireless with out router or
switch box ?
[02:37] meway, it seems you need mwl8k which *might* support your
card
[02:37] rickup, apparently I have about 5 minutes, lol.
[02:38] Will gnome-session-fallback still be in the repo when
11.10 is released?
[02:38] anyone got any tweaks for ati video cards in Ubuntu ?
[02:38] phone brb
[02:38] rachohow would I get this for lubuntu from a flash drive
being the only way to get anything from the internet onto this computer?
[02:38] by default, Tweetdeck wants to install into /Opt. Is
that really where I want it?
[02:39] racho*
[02:39] Krenair: 1) #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion and support,
please. 2) Yes, as far as I know.
[02:39] Aszurom: Thats probably fine. I personally preferred to
install adobe air and use tweetdeck's air app. It worked fine for me.
[02:39] Pici, that's where air is putting it, I mean
[02:40] meway, the two ways are 1) NDISwrapper 2)get the linux
drivers from

[02:41] hi
[02:41] I'm in OpenOffice right now and I want to format
a single specific page to have a color border along the edge. Can I get
some help? Much love. justyellowboy: i have a 400 gb partition which i
cannot use?
[02:41] any help would be great
[02:41] Hm?
[02:41] use Pidgin

[02:42] freshone0: ^^^]
[02:42] freshone0: Nice. You can't use it?
[02:42] what's the difference between desktop and server ubuntu
?
[02:42] i am using pidgin but all my contacts are gone
[02:42] Server ubuntu is designed to be used in servers.
[02:42] hmm
[02:42] I mean, that's obvious, but, it's probably thus
less user-friendly.
[02:43] freshone0: SEND resulting URLs
[02:43] Any of you guys experts in OpenOffice?
[02:43] it kinda sounds like a ssl handshake error on known ssl
keys
[02:43] maybe
[02:44] justyellowboy: what do you need?
[02:44] not sending the friend list is odd
[02:44] usr13: You know how a textbook has a table of
contents page, for example, just a specific page? Sometimes they have
this neat colored border on the left edge of the page formatted onto it.
I'd like to replicate that.
=== greenwolf is now known as penguin
[02:45] racho: is there a direct link?
[02:45] i guess i'll have to go to windows :-( but I
got a virus there, don't know how to fix it
[02:46] Maybe I can simply set the margins of the
specific page to the edge and add a background... I'll try that.

about

[02:46] is mirrors.kernel.org down?
[02:46] I can't seem to be able to apt-get irssi anymore
[02:47] Thanks
[02:47] usr13: when i copy any file into the cdrom0 (400 gb )
partion it still says permission denied
[02:47] webirc1234: yes, they are having issues, switch to a
different mirror.
[02:47] Pici: is this related to the recent security issue?
[02:47] I thought that was only kernel.org
[02:47] chmod ?
[02:47] meway, i suggest you get the NDISwrapper and windows
drivers.This way it will work for sure
[02:47] How do I apply the backgrounds to just one page
and not all of them?
[02:47] freshone0: Show us your partitions and /etc/fstab file.
Pastebinit it and send URLs. Let's have a look.
[02:48] webirc1234: It seems to be intermittantly affecting
mirrors.kernel.org as well. I just switched off of it myself because I
was tired of seeing errors in my cron logs.
[02:48] racho: how do I get Ndiswrapper? btw keep in mind my only
way of file transfur is a flashdrive
[02:48] freshone0: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #send resulting
URL
[02:48] Benwin, u still here?
[02:48] Pici: so right now, I only mave mirrors.kernel.org
is there a list for stuff to stuf finto /etc/apt.list ?
[02:48] I'm tryign to compile PDO_IBM on 11.04 and when I do

[02:49] Cannot load module 'pdo_ibm' because required module
'pdo' is not loaded in Unknown on line 0
[02:49] freshone0: cdrom0 is a cdrom
[02:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/683048/
[02:50] webirc1234: You can look for other mirrors here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors , but I just did: sudo sed -
i 's/mirrors\.kernel\.org/us.archive.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:50] it says that
[02:50] Wait, err, can a cdrom have a partition? s:
[02:50] Pici: I like the sed solution. Thanks :-)
[02:50] Pici: looks like you also appreciate how fast
mirrors.kernel.org used to be :-)
[02:50] i have a 500 gb hdd and my home folder is only 100 gb
[02:51] i want home to be the largest partition
[02:51] freshone0: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #send resulting

[02:55] You're trying to establish a partition in a CD-
Rom right?
[02:55] rww: I thought this was the general chat one.
Sorry about that. I have no association with the website just a member.
:)
[02:56] no i want my" home " to be the larger partition
[02:56] out of 500 gb it is only 100 gb
[02:56] and i do not have permission to use the 400 gb
[02:57] Ohhh you are creating a filesystem and trying to
resize your home partition.
[02:57] yes
[02:57] the 400 gb partition is mounted on /
[02:57] is it ok or do i need to change it
[02:57] freshone0, Go to terminal and type in sudo apt-
get install gparted I just gparted for all of my partition needs. :)
[02:58] That means that the root filesystem is on the 400
gb partition.
[02:58] not sure of the proper wsy to shrink a primary and
add it to an extended and logical.
[02:58] You would have to eliminate that entire partition
to add it to your current home partition.
[02:58] And then
[02:58] freshone0: There are no ideal solutions -- just
preferences. My preference was using two HDD. 20GB HDD for / -- and 300TB
for ~/
[02:58] you'd have to find a new place to put the root
filesystem.
[02:58] You follow me so far, right?
[02:59] I believe that's the case.
[02:59] it may take some work in gparted to resize them.
[02:59] how does on e acess a file on / ?
[02:59] freshone0: You need to shrink your / partition
(/dev/sda1) and increase size of /home (/dev/sda5)
[02:59] same as any other location freshone0
[03:00] Oh okay, I thought you couldn't shrink the /
partition. o:
[03:00] freshone0: Why didn't you just edit the partition
table during the installation?
[03:00] usr13: he may need to grow theextended fiirst then
the logical
[03:00] freshone0: The root partition (/dev/sda1) can be as
small as 30G
[03:00] He probably assumed 100 gb was enough
[03:00] how does one use a partition mounted on/
[03:00] You boot it.
[03:00] Through fstab?
[03:01] That's for automatic stuffs.
[03:01] freshone0: you will want to be ysing a live cd with
gparted on it for this work
[03:01] freshone0: dr-willis is correct /dev/sda2 has to be
enlarged. (Because /dev/sda5 is logical partition on /dev/sda2)
[03:01] i mean i can only store files in the home partition
how do i access the rest
[03:01] freshone0: Yes, that is how it works
[03:02] Being able to store files in the home partition
is a good thing, majorly.
[03:02] cd / then ls. you are acessing it..
[03:02] freshone0: You just need to change your partition sizes
to match your needs.
[03:02] yes
[03:02] Agh I should at least know the answer to that
question aljfkffs I suck at helping
[03:02] tell me what to do
[03:03] fstab has a friendly interface, right?
[03:03] freshone0: The root partition / (/dev/sda1) can be
small. 20-30G is plenty
[03:03] Nope.
[03:03] Hahaha okay
[03:03] freshone0: get a live cd that has gparted for
starters. backup imporntant files also.
[03:04] freshone0: Increase size of /dev/sda2 (and in turn
/dev/sda5) to about 400G
[03:04] It's just a line. Add a line. Make sure it's properly
formatted (and correct numbers of valid parameters)
[03:04] freshone0: Here, follow this link.
http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Gparted It's to learn how to use Gparted.
After you learn go to terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install gparted'
without the qoutes of coures :)
[03:04] dev/sda1 is 372.53 gib
[03:04] freshone0: Yes, that is way too big
[03:04] according to gparted
[03:05] freshone0: Home needs to be that big (or bigger)
[03:05] freshone0: As dr-willis suggests, fire up the liveCD and
use gparted
[03:05] and dev/sda5 is 92.23
[03:05] you could just move home to the / and not use a
seoerate home partitiin
[03:05] yes
[03:05] what do i do
[03:05] who would do such a thing as that
[03:06] freshone0: shrink /dev/sda1 and take up the space on
/dev/sda2 (and in turn /dev/sda5, the logical partition).
[03:06] Probably people who don't want to have the hassle
of partition resizing, although it sounds simple enough in this case~
[03:06] then delete the sda2. and resize sda1 and remake
sda2. move home back
[03:06] live cd is the cd i used to install ubuntu
[03:06] Yes, that LiveCD.
[03:06] so i just put it and then what?
[03:06] Use that.
[03:06] Then
[03:06] I got this!
[03:07] he will have to chroot
[03:07] freshone0: Yes, that is the live cd. Just choose
the try Ubuntu link.
[03:07] justyellowboy: rhw use of a extended logical makes
it a little harder
[03:07] ola
[03:07] Insert the LiveCD and reboot. You can use a key
(F11 works) to boot from CD. Then you will be using the LiveCD OS.
[03:07] ok why not the install?
[03:07] ok
[03:07] freshone0: is this a new install?
[03:08] freshone0 what did you do? partition incorrectly ?
[03:08] yes
[03:08] dr-willis: Yes, that is totally un-necessary. should be
just sda1 and sda2 and sda3
[03:08] first five peopel to join #startups-offtopic gets op
[03:08] accel: do not advertise channels here.
[03:08] ola
[03:08] dr-willis: I notice he doesn't even have a swap
partition.
[03:08] o:
[03:08] freshone0: backup imporntant stuff and reinstall and
use primary partions size as needed will be faster
[03:09] Plug-in Java 1.6.0_27
[03:09] freshone0: While you are at it, create /dev/sda6 for
swap. About 4G Okay?
[03:09] there is no data stored it is a new coputer
=== Beastmode is now known as Dasda
[03:09] That makes it super easy then! C:
[03:09] ok
[03:09] freshone0: why didn't you choose use entire disk
[03:09] I just used k3b to burn kubuntubalh.iso to the cd. I
moutned it and I see the .iso file. I didn't do this right? right?
arrghh. How?
[03:09] what should be the mount point
[03:09] you tried to manually create the partitions ?
[03:10] freshone0: you wull want 3 primary partitiins. /
swap and /home
[03:10] are you installing from the live cd?
[03:10] all you do is choose USE ENTIRE DISK
[03:10] i will now
[03:10] He is repartitioning from the LiveCD.
[03:10] why is he repartitioning?
[03:10] Because he sized the home partition too small and
the / partition too large.
[03:10] where is the option to use entire disk?
[03:10] when you launch the installer
[03:10] chaospsychex: his / is 300gb and home 100gb
[03:11] freshone0: /dev/sda1=20G /dev/sda2=380G
/dev/sda5=376G /dev/sda6=4G (swap)
[03:11] something like that ^^^
[03:11] just reinstall,will be alot easier for you
[03:11] Mmyeah.
[03:11] manually partitioning is not for noobs
[03:11] i want to reinstall as the pc has no data
[03:11] id use all primaries in this case
[03:11] then reinstall and choose USE ENTIRE DISK
[03:11] Oh wait, that is a 500G drive, not 400. Well you get the
idea...
[03:12] if you don't want a dual-boot
[03:12] are you planning on putting windows on this
computer as well?
[03:12] usr13: will do that
[03:12] freshone0: /dev/sda1=20G /dev/sda2=480G
/dev/sda5=476G /dev/sda6=4G (swap)
[03:12] He doesn't. He's using a separate device to host
Windows.
[03:12] or just ubuntu
[03:12] oh
[03:12] where is the option to use entire disk?
[03:12] use entire disk
[03:12] when you launch the installer
[03:12] justyellowboy: Oh ok... I take that back.
[03:13] time to play with the 'somthing else' cystome
partitiin section of the installer
[03:13] when you launch the installer
[03:13] hello
[03:13] ya
[03:13] its the option at the top
[03:13] i wonder i there is any norwegian channels?
[03:13] when it gets to disk setup
[03:13] partitioning
[03:13] or just not make a seperate home ;)
[03:13] will try this out
[03:14] thanks
[03:14] hello my home directory just went read onlu
[03:14] only
[03:14] theres prob youtube videos on this.
[03:14] lol
[03:14] Step 1: Insert LiveCD. Step 2: Reboot and press
F11 or whatever key will allow you to choose to boot from CD. Step 3: Use
Gparted. Step 4: Use entire disk.
[03:14] i accidentally ran fsck for a second
[03:14] Step 5: Add a swap partition, too.
[03:14] you don't need to use gparted
[03:14] No?
[03:14] Okay.
[03:14] idk if that has anything to do with it
[03:14] how much ram does this system have
[03:14] freshone, how much ram u have
[03:14] justyellowboy: you mean yse installer..
[03:14] Step 3: Choose "reinstall" hahaha
[03:15] ;)
[03:15] Unless it just says install.
[03:15] dr-willis: You mean on partitions?
[03:15] Glad to be of obstruction to your guidance,
awesome guys. :)
[03:15] lolololol
[03:16] my /home went read-only suddenly, any ideas?
[03:16] for a beginner. may as well just let the installer
auto partitiin and not use a seperate /home
[03:16] .. we shure took up a lot of space just figuring out a
simple partition sceme
[03:16] Isn't your /home supposed to be read-only?
[03:16] hullo: check dmesg output.
[03:16] hullo: man chown

[03:17] Oh, sorry, then. c:
[03:17] hullo what is your home folder called?
[03:17] The separation of partition allows for
organization. It might even be safe, maybe.
[03:17] justyellowboy: df
[03:17] lol home
[03:17] im not a noob or anything, just havent seen this
[03:18] is it possible to take control over fanspeed etc in
ubuntu?
[03:18] what is your username on the machine
[03:18] hullo: What does df say? What does df -i say?
[03:18] hull the hd may be failing.. i would back it up soon
[03:18] usr13: what line?
[03:19] hullo: Open a terminal and type df #Tell us what it
says.

[03:20] dr-willis is prolly right hullo
[03:20] hull: just did a quick read. if you have the
ability i would run 'gsmartcontrol' and see what it says about your
drive.
[03:21] reading the smart data from the drive always helps
[03:21] hullo: the sceond one, is that output of df -i ? It
says 90%
[03:21] cant install anything bc root is read only
[03:21] hullo: If you want to preserve your data, better
shutdown the computer and don't turn it on until you come back with a new
hard drive. :)
[03:21] the second one is drive space
[03:22] i hear ya. caught between a shit and a fart
scenario
[03:22] hullo: sde1 is root? Do you have separate /home

[03:25] 1.5 pages?! Good lord!

[03:28] i don't see that directory usr13
[03:28] hullo: See if that works, sure.
[03:28] But everything that I do to reformat the page
results in *all* of the pages reformatting.

[03:30] which is always closed
[03:31] and for mirroring the desktops it sets the resolution
to 1024x768 and i cant change it

[03:36] Lasers: You probably need to trun off the X server
[03:36] soreau: do you have any idea how to fix this
[03:36] or should i just reinstall windows ugh
[03:36] elgruntox: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[03:37] usr13: Maybe. It's hit-or-miss. X_already_in_use, try
doing it while X11 isn't running or use Nvidia GUI Settings.
[03:37] when I mount a livecd what should I see? an .iso? or

[03:38] Lasers: Yes, turn off the X server and try again.

have my controller plugged in it messes with the mouses settings
[03:39] yeah
[03:39] i just put 11.04 of meh pc and display is borx
[03:39] fix?

referring to
[03:42] yes, Ctrl-Alt-F6 will give you tty console terminal
below tty7
[03:42] virtualbox is the name on it
[03:42] elgruntox: So your hdmi monitor and other screen are
plugged and both at 1024x768. What do you want it to be?
[03:42] soreau: i want 1080p
[03:42] Lasers, I'm using laptop, and the one im
having prob is a desktop pc.

[03:44] elgruntox: Try xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080
[03:44] ive tried that soreau and
[03:44] it puits both screens on my desktop
[03:44] so i have a tiny 1024 screen n the top left corner
[03:44] and behind that my 1080p
[03:44] X_already_in_use: Okay. That's relief. To get a console,
press "CTRL+ALT+F1" -- Log in. "sudo service gdm stop" -- then -- "sudo
nvidia-xconfig" -- then "sudo service gdm start" -- Try that.
[03:44] two task bars too
[03:45] elgruntox: That's strange. Maybe try asking in #intel-
gfx
[03:45] meway: You install ndiswrapper and then download the
firmware. Read

[03:45] etc
[03:45] soreau: how am I suppose to use K3b to burn an ISO onto a

(Have blank CD in)
[03:47] terr_: Be sure and run md5sum against .iso file first
and compare

[03:53] it does the linux to identify one of the screens?

these servers! Failed at that too but it was running about 10 years ago!
[03:58] soreau: I suspect I tried it... also you have been very
helpful and I thank you.
[03:58] terr_: Then just use 'wodim -v

[04:00] soreau: you won't beleive it. not available in sarge
[04:00] terr_: I do believe it. You better take this up in

ISO. The problem is how to create a bootable USB-Stick from it. I
should be able to pick up the MBR from the ISO (has to be secotor 0) and
them copy the 2'nd stage boot sectors which should live in visible files
in the .ISO and copy them to the USB-Stick and modify the mbr with the
right offset and use dd to re-write the MBR and I should be done.

[04:19] usr13: I have no situation. I'm helping him.
[04:20] usr13: maybe the damn puter can't boot from a USB stick.
[04:20] Lasers: Oh, sorry.
[04:20] usr13: No problem! Thank you. :)
[04:20] that nic is confusing
[04:22] whats the best linux distro out there ?
[04:22] |NeXuS|: Mine
[04:22] |NeXuS|: You're in #ubuntu, so... Ubuntu!
[04:23] |NeXuS|: (see also ##linux for general Linux questions)
[04:23] |NeXuS|: depends on what you want to do. I liked debian
but they really broke it. I'm going to ubuntu
[04:23] Is there any reason why I can't make a custom launcher in
Natty? Such as "Right click on desktop, create new launcher" and so on
and so forth. For me it just doesn't do anything. Any ideas? Please help.
This is really annoying.
[04:23] |NeXuS|: and then, you will ask 25 different people and
get 25 different answers.
[04:23] terr_: That's funny. It usually work the other way
around for me. :)
[04:24] usr13: no.. likey 25^2 answers if they are professionals
[04:24] quite possibly
[04:25] I'm running ubuntu 11.04 and would like to make an ubuntu
11.04 bootable usb drive .. does anyone have a good link?
[04:25] !usb | w0_
[04:25] w0_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB
flash drives, see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a
persistent live USB install, see:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[04:25] |NeXuS|: To tell the truth, you pick the one that has the
package management system you like the best. That is what it boils down
to.
[04:26] w0_: As for bootable disc -- See !remaster -- but how do
you put it on usb? I'm thinking dd could do the job. Unsure.
[04:26] lasers: that link seems outdated .. having trouble getting
usb-creator to work ..
[04:27] lasers: it's made for old ubuntu, gnome, should it work on
unity?
[04:27] Creating USB install? You will find instructions here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download
[04:27] usr13: I can likley make my life more easy. I take an
old FDD and install it and find an old cd and install it. Or I get tftpd
running.
[04:28] jsjgruber_natty_: Hi. Your IRC client is /quitting
repeatedly. Please fix that now.
[04:28] Anyone know why my "create launcher" dialog box does not
open when I "Right Click on the desktop and then choose create new
launcher"? If it matters, I am using Natty. Please help. There is no
information on Google that I can find.
[04:29] terr_: What kind of PC are you installing on? Does it
have an IDE controller?
[04:29] argh!! someone else checkout ubuntu.com/download, and the
instructon for creating a usb disk FROM ubuntu is outdated, all the
screen shots are from 10.04
[04:29] terr_: If it does, plug an IDE CDROM drive in it, cram
the kubnutu CD in and away you go.
[04:30] w0_: The screenshots are outdated -- yes -- but did you
try it yourself?
[04:30] I did and I just found it !! =)
[04:30] i use Ubuntu
[04:30] w0_: Improvise
[04:30] lesse here
[04:31] usr13: its a shuttle-X with a athlon 2300+ cpu and cards
to support 6 heads. has a gb of ram. I don't have a spare IDE CD. I
have likely 10 SCSI CD's and 100 exabytes and 200 SCSI HDD's and a
DLT7000 (SCSI) and some 3490's (SCSI) and opticals as well.
[04:31] moreapps > installed > startup disk creator -- that's gotta
be it!!
[04:32] * w0_ is a dumbass.
[04:32] hey guys thanks for sittin with me
[04:32] usr13: puppy has a USB. it can boot from a usb-fdd. I
should be able to stick in a stick
[04:32] ubuntu rocks... keep it real!!
[04:34] Anyone know why my "create launcher" dialog box does not
open when I "Right Click on the desktop and then choose create new

information on Google that I can find.
[04:35] hi all...any data recovery people here?
[04:37] casey: its actually because the programmers didn't put in
proper debugging.
[04:37] !anyone | Cuchulainn
[04:37] Cuchulainn: A high percentage of the first questions
asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask
your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq,
and !poll.
[04:37] casey: I'm a programmer and I've been saying this for a
very long time
[04:37] hello, I am having the classic sound not working
problem. I have gone through several of the forums and the
troubleshooting guide but with no luck. I am running ubuntu 11.04 64bit
with an HP Pavillion p6218f
[04:38] wildbat: because sometimes its hard to figure otu the
right question
[04:38] anyone able to help per chance?
[04:38] trying to recover a ntfs system with a hosed
mbr...trying to make sure that i'm doing it right?
[04:38] Cuchulainn: seagate is geared up
[04:39] from the community documentation I am understanding
that ubuntu on a macbook 2.1 does not support the built-in wireless
(airport) - there is a picture with a lock on it. Is this true? (
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook2-1/Lucid#Wireless_.28AirPort.29
)
[04:39] terr_: Really? That's not good. Well thank you for
replying. Is there any way around this? Also do you know anything about
why Vuze crashes anytime I try to search?
[04:39] Cuchulainn: mbr should only affect boot.
[04:39] casey: I've never heard of VUSE
[04:40] terr_: It also goes by azreus.
[04:40] terr_: Previous name I should say.
[04:40] casey: only way I know is politcal. Like I've told
programmers I spervised and managed that they have time to put in proper
errror checking and at the end of the day they didn't!
[04:41] how can i start a irc server?
[04:41] what program do i use
[04:41] terr_, and that's the probl...tried ntfsfix...no
avail...can't ultimately read mft's...so created an image with ddrescue,
and then using scalpel to carve out each file type into a directory...is
this the bes/preferred course of action?
[04:41] is it possible to use 4G on ubuntu?
[04:41] terr_: Oh ok. Well is this going to be corrected in
11.10?
[04:41] chaospsychex: inspircd
[04:41] chaospsychex: I asked that question 10 years ago and was
asked why I want to?
[04:41] does ubuntu 11.04 come with C++0x installed by
default?
[04:41] i have my reasons
[04:42] inspirecd? what is that
[04:42] irc server daemon
[04:42] casey I just came in on this. I used transmission with
no problems. I hope that helps. (I failed with Vuze/azurus)
[04:42] whats the package name of the daemon /.
[04:43] Cuchulainn: I'd make a disk image with dd and then send
the drive to seagate. its like $100 and they will tell you the bill and
its under $2000
[04:43] tripelb: Is there any search features with transmission,
because that's what i'm really looking for. From what I saw, it's just to
download and upload torrents.
[04:43] casey, please be more specific. Do you want to search
the internet to look for torrents?
[04:44] tripelb: lol of course not. I can do that with any
browser of my liking. I'm looking for a torrent downloading software that
will search certain sites for me: such as frostwire, vuze, qb, etc.
[04:44] casey if that's what you mean, I have good success with
isotorent and google. (it'would be great but I get so many results that
want me to pay for their site that I get fruestrated from time to tome)
[04:45] tripelb: Same here. That's why i'm looking for an app
that will do that such as the ones listed above.
[04:45] Cuchulainn: Only way I'd take on the NTFS issue is if
someone will pay $100 per hour after I figure out how to do it.
[04:45] Cuchulainn: how you messed you ntfs? ~ there are more
and better tools for Windows for NTFS then linus. or you can try
testdisk/ photorec.
[04:45] if it's possible to use 4G in ubuntu, do i need som
package for it??
[04:45] casey, I dont understand about that so that's my limit.
If you want to explain to me you can pm me (since it is off topic) or
tell me to go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:46] tripelb: its ok. But thank you for trying. I may have
found my answer :).
[04:46] casey, what do you search them for?
[04:47] daniel__, not without a router/modem/phone
[04:47] terr_, wildbat , ty for the advice...meshes with
what i'd already found, but unfortunately not apropos for this job....
[04:47] casey I'll go look myself) and you are welcome.

[04:48] Cuchulainn: where do you live? I'm asking what resources
you have available and what you face
[04:48] *sigh*; it's true that only users lose drugs...
[04:48] anyone here familiar with rubygems?
[04:49] daniel__, what is the 4G mobile broadband
[04:49] samsung
[04:49] terr_, just a personal favor that i took on, and if
it's gone, it's gone; but would be a shame, as is pictures of his 13
grandchildren...and 2gs wouldn't be a problem for him, if he didn't have
at least 13 grandchildren...
[04:50] daniel__, so is this 20 questions here can you give
specifics it is you that needs the help here.
[04:51] terr_, if that makes sense at all..
[04:51] it's only "4G samsung", its the only print on it. its
a usb device
[04:53] daniel__, well I'm not going to search google with just
that get the device model.

relatively exorbitant cost...

[05:02] I run ubuntu 11.04 -- would like to make a bootable usb

windows.
[05:02] Cuchulainn: other way round?
[05:03] when I use startup disk creator (comes with 11.04) IU get
an error
[05:03] hello all!

[05:10] i need help getting my web cam to work on my

[05:10] elizabeth, which os'?
[05:11] ubuntu. i dk my grandpa just gave me a rebuilt compaq
presario 700 with this stuff and told me if i have any questions to get
on here and ask
=== joe75_ is now known as joe75
=== skoef_ is now known as skoef
[05:12] elizabeth you have such a nerdy grandpa O.o
[05:12] !netsplit
[05:12] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network
(like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop
seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy
the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[05:12] I wish my grandfather were cool like that lol
[05:12] no i have a very odd grandpa.
[05:12] how kind of floodbot to inform us of what
netsplits are
[05:13] elizabeth: it's a built-in webcam?
[05:13] it was very sweet of him cause i am going to school
in a different state and i needed a computer
[05:13] no its not its a blue eyeball web cam
[05:13] The old man knew what he was doing when he told
you to ask things here XD
=== spacebug is now known as spacebug-
[05:13] yeah
[05:14] elizabeth: so you have your web cam on ;) ?
[05:15] !offtopic | solofight
[05:15] yes i think its plugged in and earlier when i was
playing with the camera just seeing the quality of picture it didnt need
to flip any switches or anything
[05:15] solofight: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for
all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for
other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!
[05:15] oh nevermind
[05:15] elizabeth, holy cr*p, you have the webcam working
independently?
[05:15] what?
[05:16] nevs..
[05:16] why cant i use it on skype?
[05:16] i dont have it running in the back ground and i just
want to be able to get it working before i leave for school. lol.
[05:16] i tried to open skype and share video but it doesnt
do anything
[05:17] Sure sure educational purposes at 1am, just keep
asking at conventional time and someone will eventually know how to help
you
[05:18] myself I would wait until 3am, and then call grandpa
and say the chat channel says they don't know to call you. :)
[05:18] elizabeth: probably a driver issue
[05:18] I can't seem to get thunderbird to launch, is this the
appropriate place to ask?
[05:18] YAYAYY -- I got ubuntu 11.04's startup disk creator to
work! I just had to be here when it asked my password a few times ..
guess it got bored waiting for me.
[05:18] keep linux alive! PEACE
[05:19] what does the driver issue mean?
[05:19] and how do i fix it?
[05:19] please
[05:20] elizabeth: well, the driver might not work with
skype
[05:20] i dk anything about the workings of a computer i just
know how to use the internet and programs for the most part lol. he told
me that he had it working earlier with skype but i am not sure if he
tried the web cam out
[05:21] He got rid of the webcam drivers on purpose to
avoid misuse lol
[05:21] yeah i doubt it. hes a little odd my grandpa
[05:22] elizabeth: using ubuntu may be difficult then
=== dex__ is now known as dex_777
[05:22] gee thanks lol i will call him in the morning.
[05:24] elizabeth: if you want to fix the issue
[05:24] elizabeth: you'll have to get some information
[05:24] what information?
[05:24] elizabeth: you'll need to open a terminal, and
type some commands
[05:24] open a terminal?
[05:24] elizabeth: yes
[05:24] it's a program
[05:24] how do i do that?
[05:24] it's called Terminal
[05:24] you'll find it in applications
[05:25] control+alt+T
[05:25] why i can't install PDFLaTex and LaTeX ?
[05:25] ok got the terminal
[05:25] elizabeth: okay, type 'lsusb'
[05:25] then what
[05:26] hit enter
[05:26] elizabeth: it'll write a bunch of stuff,
information about all the parts of your computer, including your webcam
[05:26] it wrote three devices
[05:26] elizabeth: do you know what version of ubuntu you
have?
[05:27] no but i have skype 2.0 on here that he downloaded
for me
[05:27] if that helps any
[05:27] Dumb question: how do I mount a SD card I just stuck
into my netbook?
[05:27] elizabeth: do you see your webcame there?
[05:27] elizabeth: in the devices
[05:28] yes i saw the webcam name there. well not the actual
web cam name but its a device called webcam
[05:28] elizabeth: okay
[05:28] It sometimes just pops up on my desktop. This time it
doesn't.
[05:28] what's the ID
[05:28] 0ac8:3420
[05:28] elizabeth: it'll look like four characters, then
a :, then four numbers
[05:28] kwixson_u: this will tell you where the filesystem is:
sudo fdisk -l
[05:28] huh
[05:29] kwixson_u: then you will have to create a directory
and mount the fs there
[05:29] that should be supported by skype
[05:29] which version of skype do you have
[05:29] 2.0
[05:29] open skype and check the about
=== Vladislas is now known as zay
[05:29] having a newer version is better
[05:29] ok can i get it on this lap top that is from 1999?
[05:29] lol
[05:30] i need a more detailed version
[05:30] like, 2.0.0.72
[05:30] i think it would be in the help -> about, or
something
[05:30] i don't use skype
=== JoFo_ is now known as JoFo
[05:30] when doing the sudo fdisk -l command how do I
distinguish between devices/drives
[05:31] if it doesn't say, well, maybe it's just not new
enough
[05:31] skype is up to 2.2
[05:31] kwixson_u: the easiest way for you will probably be
the fs type
[05:31] so can i get a newer version of skype for this
ancient computer? or
[05:32] anyone on tonight thats good with install foulups?
[05:32] elizabeth: probably
[05:32] elizabeth: what version of ubuntu is it
[05:32] i still dont know that
[05:32] elizabeth: open up System Monitor
[05:32] how do i find that one out?
[05:32] where is system monitor?
[05:32] kwixson_u: you can also run the command: df to compare
the devices listed to the mount points. and the fs on the card is
probably going to be some sort of fat vs the ext3/4 linux
[05:32] elizabeth: it should be under applications
[05:33] if your laptop is that old, your grandfather
might have put a rather old version of ubuntu on it
[05:33] you might want a newer one
[05:33] i wish i knew how to get a newer version of it.
[05:33] i cant find a system monitor.
[05:33] !upgrade
[05:33] depending on which version you have, you might
easily upgrade
[05:33] For upgrading, see the instructions at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade
[05:34] so what version do i want?
[05:35] elizabeth: what cpu and ram does the system have?
[05:35] milamber: The df command shows me only the native
filesystem and one of the two (the one that is always in this netbook) SD
cards I have stuck into the machine.
[05:35] elizabeth: i think it's under Applications ->
System
[05:35] cpu? ram?
[05:35] tensorpudding: lsb_release -r ??
[05:35] No mention of the 2nd.
[05:35] kwixson_u: can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -
l and df?
[05:36] It might be not so wise to upgrade at this moment,
some people are complaining the newest kernel version is having battery
problems with notebooks
[05:36] elizabeth: given the age of your machine, it's
not going to be able to run the newest
[05:36] so what does that mean?
[05:36] elizabeth: did you find System Monitor in the
System submenu of Applications?
[05:36] Can anyone tell me what the limitations are for a wubi
install?
[05:37] if any
[05:37] Elizabeth: how fast is the cpu? How much ram does
it have? If it has a make and model then what is it and we can use that
to find out :-)
[05:37] kwixson_u: then the fs (usually sd something) that is
listed on the fdisk, but not the df is the one that still needs to be
mounted
[05:37] crash1hd none :D
[05:37] ActionParsnip: she doesn't know about computers,
it's a compaq presario 700
[05:37] Would I be able to use wine without issue?
[05:37] ActionParsnip: they used amd durons, and had
about 256 MB of RAM in default config
[05:37] crash1hd yes, I use wine perfectly on a wubi
install
[05:37] It even runs world of warcraft lol
[05:37] Cool
[05:37] crash1hd: same as a regular install. The ubuntu
drive is just stored in a f
[05:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/683134/
[05:38] how about if I choose to give it dedicated hdd space
later? can I transfer it or do I have to reinstall?
[05:38] elizabeth: if you can't find system monitor, try
typing lsb_release -r into the terminal you have open, and tell me what
it says
[05:39] damn
[05:39] crash1hd: you won't be able to access the ubuntu
data from windows but the wubi will be able to access the windows data
from /host
[05:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/683135/
[05:39] it said no lsb modules are available
[05:39] ActionParsnip, ahh that makes sense
[05:39] crash1hd the only difference is that you'll have
the ubuntu data and windows data at the same partition, which I find to
be quite convenient, but it's always your choice
[05:40] elizabeth: what about lsb_release -a
[05:40] crash1hd: there is a wubi to real install method,
I've not done it personally
[05:40] help! inserted a microsd card via sd card
adapter into my thinkpad t420 running 11.04 ubuntu. nothing happens and
i'd like my photos! :P
[05:41] i have ubuntu 11.04
[05:41] ActionParsnip, good to know :)
[05:41] thanks
[05:41] nice!
[05:41] elizabeth: really?
[05:41] Elizabeth: or: cat /etc/lsb-release
[05:41] yeah is that good
[05:41] elizabeth: that's the newest version
[05:41] arooni-mobile: getting help with essentially the same
problem myself.
[05:41] well crap why isnt my cam working? lol
[05:41] elizabeth: so it's somewhat strange
[05:41] kwixson_u: it doesn't look like the machine recognizes
it at all. can you eject and reinstall, then run dmesg ?
[05:41] elizabeth: i think the version of skype available
in ubuntu 11.04 is newer than the one you say you have
[05:42] arooni-mobile: does it pick up if you boot with
it all plugged in?
[05:42] did u install a .deb file elizabeth ?
[05:42] UbuN2: she didn't install it, her grandfather
did...
[05:42] ActionParsnip, havent tried that
[05:42] ah!
[05:42] it says skype 2.2 beta for linux.
[05:42] elizabeth: try opening the Ubuntu Software
Center, and search for skype
[05:42] then its latest
[05:43] where do i find the software center
[05:43] elizabeth: you said 2.0 earlier
[05:43] lol
[05:43] elizabeth: if you install and run cheese, do you
see yourself?
[05:43] elizabeth: it's a program
[05:43] elizabeth: it'll be under applications
[05:43] NICK chris4916
[05:43] elizabeth: you want to search for and install a
programm called cheese, it's an alternative to skype
[05:44] thanks guys adobe 10 has corrected this error of
replacing the opened file with the new one
[05:44] wht happens when elizabeth executes skype ?!
[05:44] Except doesnt make calls
[05:44] exactally what happens when i get rid of skype? and
can i talk to people on skype with cheese?
[05:44] yes, it can use your webcam to do other things
[05:44] no
[05:44] solofight: adobe 10 doesnt exist
[05:44] but it does use your webcam
[05:45] does skype work ?
[05:45] if cheese works and skype doesn't it might tell
us what the issue is
[05:45] well my family only has skype.
[05:45] oh ok so i have to find cheese program thing to try
it out
[05:45] where do i find that
[05:45] milamber: http://paste.ubuntu.com/683139/
[05:45] ActionParsnip: what ! just now i installed Adobe
acrobat X
[05:45] you need to open the software center, like i said
[05:45] does skype work ? and search for cheese
[05:45] i dk where the software center is.
[05:46] and yeah skype the typing part works but my cam and
mic dont.
[05:46] its a usb cam
[05:46] elizabeth: it's in applications
[05:46] elizabeth: skype is notoriously bad at stuff,
webcams will often work in other apps and not skype. There are extra
steps to take to make it work.
[05:46] ^^
[05:46] Elizabeth: sudo apt-get install cheese
[05:47] i am not even seeing an applications option either. i
see accesories and thats pretty much it
[05:47] ActionParsnip: just jumpin in. Give me something better
than skype
[05:47] what software ubuntu uses by default to handle pdf
files ?
[05:47] elizabeth: it's at the bottom
[05:47] my grandpa put a bit torrent on here would that wokr
[05:47] applications > sound & video > cheese booth webcam
[05:47] no
[05:47] its at the bottom of what
[05:47] does it work elizabeth
[05:48] does what work?
[05:48] applications > sound & video > cheese booth webcam
[05:48] it's not going to work, because cheese won't be
installed already...
[05:48] solofight: aaah. Adobe ACROBAT 10. That does
exist, however "adobe 10" does not. Do people run "Microsoft 7" as their
OS too?
[05:48] where is applications at the bottom of what?
[05:48] elizabeth: it's at the bottom of the applications
menu
[05:48] dear all
[05:48] can I put on the system configuration remastered with
remastersys
[05:48] if i tried to do a full install to the 2nd hard drive
(sdb1) and now sda1 only has 3 files in it ....something went wrong huh?
[05:49] let me put this a little more into perspective for
you. i am a blonde who knows horses not computers lol.
[05:50] i cant find applications anywere
[05:50] elizabeth: my gf knows more than you
[05:50] elizabeth: what's at the top-left of the screen
[05:50] ActionParsnip: yes people run ms 7 as their os in
cases they want to utilize ms office 2007's excellent features
[05:50] this chat window
[05:50] Elizabeth: i gave a command to run in terminal,
did it run ok?
[05:50] I want to remaster the results can directly connect to ldap
server
[05:50] elizabeth: no, on the big bar on the top of the
screen
[05:50] any body can help me
[05:50] for the chat window?
[05:50] elizabeth: is there a menu saying Applications,
or is there a button with a ring-shaped logo in it?
[05:51] elizabeth: above the chat window
[05:51] why dont somebody take her system remotely and help
elizabeth ? that would save everybody lots of time
[05:51] ?
[05:51] solofight: no, it Microsoft WINDOWS 7. "Microsoft
7" doesn't exist either.
[05:51] there is nothing above the chat window. its just the
chat window and my background
[05:52] ActionParsnip: forgive me for that
[05:52] oh christ, you might not even be using gnome
[05:52] no it says xchat
[05:52] elizabeth: what happens when you hit the Print
Screen key
[05:52] elizabeth: it should take a screenshot of your
desktop
[05:52] nothing
[05:52] okay, you're not using gnome
[05:52] I have a SMB share defined for alocal user, how does
that user connect to it with Win?
[05:53] and unless i know what you're using it's hard to
help you
[05:53] i didnt see any change when i hit prntscrn
[05:53] how are you opening programs
[05:53] elizabeth: allow somebody here to take your system
remotely and help you, it will be over before you know it
[05:53] with my start menu i dk.
[05:53] start...menu?
[05:53] whats dk ?
[05:53] oh
[05:53] what is at the bottom left of your screen?
[05:53] Elizabeth: copy this command: sudo apt-get
install cheese press Ctrl+Alt+T and paste the command into the
terminal. Type your password (you will get no feedback) and hit enter to
finish
[05:54] yeah the little circle at the bottom looks like an
airplain going throught it
[05:54] like a K?
[05:54] one on its face kinda
[05:54] yeah i can see how it would look like a k on its face
[05:54] solofight: its cool, just makes support easier
when you use full product names
[05:54] okay, so you're using kde instead..
[05:55] whats kde?
[05:55] does kde have the software center?
[05:55] #kubuntu ?
[05:55] it doesn't matter
[05:56] clear
[05:56] just go to the terminal
[05:56] and do 'sudo apt-get install cheese'
[05:56] damn wrong window
[05:56] lol
[05:56] Any love for my SD mounting problem?
[05:57] its spitting out a bunch of info.
[05:58] yes its getting the software
[05:58] its asking if i want to continue?
[05:58] elizabeth: yes
[05:58] it'll ask for a password
[05:58] use the one that you login with
[05:58] it already asked for my password
[05:58] Hi guys.. In lauchpad site how can I download the file
102-disable-page-flipping-v2.patch for my intel driver?
=== timj is now known as timjs
[05:59] I'm not finding it
[05:59] ok now its done spitting out stuff and is asking for
another command
[05:59] open it rodhash and click file save as on browser
[05:59] like before i asked it to install cheese
[06:00] UbuN2: My problem is to find it
[06:01] elizabeth: okay, that means that cheese is
installed
[06:01] ok how do i run it
[06:01] to see what the problem with my web cam and skype is
[06:01] elizabeth: it'll be in the menu of applications,
search for its name
[06:02] ok i got cheese kinda
[06:02] it took a picture of me with out me asking too
[06:02] okay
[06:02] that means the webcam works with cheese
[06:03] if it doesn't work with skype, that's probably a
skype issue
[06:03] not sure how to fix that
[06:04] ok thanks anyways. i will talk to my grandpa
tomorrow. you guys have been very awesome tonight/today.
[06:04] elizabeth: np
[06:04] good luck
[06:04] sorry i didn't have the answer
[06:04] thank you
[06:04] its ok
[06:04] is there a way to install ubuntu on a partition
while running inside ubuntu?
[06:05] Hi, I cant auth in some places, like in system

wrong?
[06:05] Guys, any idea?
[06:07] How can I find and download this --> 101_copy-fb.patch

[06:16] !info mysql-workbench-gpl | bullgard4_
[06:16] bullgard4_: Package mysql-workbench-gpl does not exist
in natty
=== DoomsDayHQ is now known as DystaN
[06:18] bullgard4_: then i believe not. i use the current from
their site
[06:18] milamber: Does -gpl stand for
General_Public_License?
[06:19] I used the alternate cd to install Ubuntu 11.04 into a
virtual machine (I'm experimenting here) with /boot as first primary and
everything else (swap, /, /home) in an encrypted LVM. MY question is, if
I ever want to do a fresh install in the future as opposed to a upgrade,
how do I unlock the encrypted LVM during the setup process and tell it
not to reformat /home? Normally when I do a fresh reinstall I can tell
the partition manager
[06:19] not to format /home and I'm good. But with this new
setup it's way more complicated.
[06:19] bullgard4_: yes. i thought i got it from the repos,
but i have reported several bugs (that have been fixed). so current is
probably going to be your best bet.
[06:19] milamber: What do you mean by "their"? Do you mean
Oracle's website?
[06:21] bullgard4_: yes(ish)
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/5.2.html#downloads
[06:22] ok when dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu is it always
best to install windows first?
[06:22] I want ubuntu to be the primary and windows to be the
secondary
[06:22] crash1hd, imho, yes.
[06:22] where ubuntu takes up like 90% of the hdd
[06:22] thanks :)
[06:22] is there a tool on linux to check if two files are
identical or not ?
[06:22] milamber: I still do not know if I should download
this package because "The new {MySQL Workbnch} application however still
does not support data Migration which was a part of the old tool set."
[06:22] Ubuntu can resize your partitions - at least it did
when I installed it alongside windows.
[06:23] I just want windows 7 for some games that might be
down the road that I am not able to get working on ubuntu
[06:23] Nicolus, md5sum
[06:23] Onlyodin, sudo apt-get install md5sum ?
[06:23] Hmm this one might be tricky but how much space should
I dedicate to windows7?
[06:23] none
[06:24] just get rid of it :)
[06:24] Nicolus, man md5sum
[06:24] haha lol
[06:24] bullgard4_: i never used the gui tools, so i don't
know what you would be missing. are you looking at a migration soon?
[06:24] Like I said I want it for the few things that I cant
get wine to do :)
[06:24] can it be done in a v-box?
[06:25] zHammeRz, no cause I need full hardware support for
those few things
[06:25] crash1hd, I'd leave at least 20Gb, if not 30Gb. bear
in mind Ubuntu can read a Windows/NTFS partition, but Windows wont know
what the linux partitions are
[06:25] zHammeRz, or I would :)
[06:25] Onlyodin, right :) thanks
[06:26] I used to have my windows partition taking up ~80% of
the drive, and I'd store crap on it, so that both environments could
access it.
[06:26] Hi, I cant authorize in some places, like in system
settings, I know password is correct. sudo is working fine. What is
wrong?
[06:26] scarleo: what exactly are you trying to do?
[06:26] milamber: editing user groups
[06:27] milamber: I'd like to migrate from my embedded
HSQLDB to a MySQL database along the lines of
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6924.
[06:27] milamber: when I click advanced button authorization
pops up but password dowsn't work
[06:28] scarleo: Please be very careful when editing user
groups. Back up first. You may damage your system easily, and this will
be tediousl to fix.
[06:29] -l
[06:29] bullgard4_: ok, I will
[06:29] scarleo: what is the error?

[06:32] thanks Onlyodin
[06:32] bullgard4_: java written database, eh? i have only
done csv export and import and it has worked pretty well for me.
[06:33] Hi all, anyone with .asoundrc experience about?
[06:33] scarleo: not sure why it is doing that, but a
workaround may be to start it from the terminal w/ gksu
[06:33] Nicolus, you're welcome.
[06:33] Onlyodin, see you around :)
[06:35] milamber: Yes, my old HSQLDB database is written in
Java. I have tried CSV export. This produces bad results because contents
in one table field often ends with a quotation mark.
[06:35] Hi, i have an ubuntu server 10.10 64bits... I need the LDNS

[06:43] cheenu_, you can change this with the "-P" option
[06:44] glebihan : i can find only the downloaded html file
[06:44] cheenu_, that'w why I said you had to find the url of
the video, not the one of the page where the video is displayed
[06:45] ok thanks how to find the url of the video
[06:45] pls tell if u dont mistake me
[06:45] hey guys I'm having trouble getting my serial

getting downloading
[06:48] never seen a serial keybord other then ps2 ones. ;)
[06:48] cheenu_, not sure actually, some firefox extensions
may help you there
[06:49] cheenu_, I know "Youtube enhancer" (a greasemonkey
script) allows you to download videos from youtube
[06:49] Should we have to install firefox extension?
[06:50] on the linux line in grub.cfg what does ro mean?
[06:50] Is youtube enhancer a package????
[06:50] cheenu_, no it's not a a package
[06:50] vehemoth: read only perhaps
[06:50] then how can i download?
[06:50] any web sites?
[06:50] cheenu_, http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/33042

[06:55] Chromium is extremely slow on my Ubuntu machine, almost
complete unusable. It just says "Sendingg request..." forever before
loading page. Does anyone have any tips on that?
[06:56] What's wrong with youtube-dl?
[06:56] dr-willis: okay, so if it didn't already have ro I
shouldn't add it
[06:56] Firefox is quick by the way so it feels if it's
chromium and not my machine
[06:56] cheenu_: Have you tried "youtube-dl"
[06:56] dr-willis: I got that from the os-prober section
[06:57] scarleo: Run "htop" and see if Chromium is eating up all
the processors. That can happen. (I think because of Flash).
[06:58] vehemoth: normally you dont edit grub.cfg directly.
[06:58] Lasers: thanks, it's not related to flash, even
google.com takes forever
[06:58] Lasers: but I'll check top
[06:59] scarleo: try entering the ip address see if thats
also slow.
[06:59] dr-willis: I know but I had to replace that part from
os-prober with a custom one so that I could use hibernate, I didn't know
which way was best so I moved the os-prober script and added to 40_custom
[06:59] scarleo: "ping google.com"
[06:59] also test with a diffrent browser. it sounds like a
dns issue.. a weird one
[07:00] vehemoth: yep thats a proper way. ;)
[07:00] ya i tried youtube-dl but also its not coming
[07:00] admiralvorian: I believe there is serial keyboard support
available (or at least there used to be :) try searching for "linux

(3.03) and install it again

[07:15] ZenMaster : but the compilation differs from linux to
ubuntu
[07:15] cheenu_: I think the correct terminology here would
be Distrubution.

ubuntu
[07:17] I using the kernel 2.6.38 this is the last

it from the boot menu
[07:32] and open it, it shows just 'GRUB ubuntu(something
else)

[07:35] somebody, did install the linux kernel 3.0 on
ubuntu 11.04 ?
[07:35] no
[07:35] kernel 2.6
[07:35] why ?
[07:35] this can't do ?

[07:38] Eliasmaster: boot menu is grub?
[07:38] I installed with Wubi
[07:38] so I select Ubuntu form the windiws boot menu
[07:38] and then normally comes the grub boot menu
[07:38] hi
[07:38] but this time I just got a 'terminal'
[07:39] Could you please tell me what packages should be installed
to have ubuntu in arabic language (keeping the keyboard layout as it is)
[07:39] Eliasmaster: ic, it's the MBR then, there is a easy
fix unless something is seriously wrong on the ubuntu side
[07:39] Oh, great

_Problems:Wubi_9.10 "If any of the boot files is outside of the 4GB
limit, booting will fail"
[07:44] I just downloaded a lot of files to Ubuntu, could
that be the cause?
[07:46] Eliasmaster: no idea, I know I must have fixed mine
via method on link quite a few times, usually after kernel updates
[07:46] "Warning: The solution below is only for Wubi 9.10.
It will make older versions unbootable." Can I still use it to Ubuntu
11.04?
[07:47] Eliasmaster: wubi is not ubuntu
[07:47] oh, right
[07:47] difference between linux and ubuntu???
[07:49] Eliasmaster: almoxarife: The problem mentioned in
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot
_Problems:Wubi_9.10 no longer exists in Ubuntu 11.04, so the work around
will not help as that is not the current problem.

[07:52] linux is an operationg system where kernel is a brain of
an operating system i guess
[07:52] Eliasmaster: wubi is awful, try using ubuntu in a
vm or give it a proper partition on the harddrive

bug report and subscribe me (jordanu on launchpad) I will try to help you
later.
[07:53] ok
[07:53] Jordan_U: replace the faulty "C:\wubildr is not the
answer? how does he run a linux script in windows?

[07:55] almoxarife : wat is wubi
[07:56] cheenu: try google
[07:56] cheenu: linux is the kernel, but people do refer to
the whole OS as linux (which is technically incorrect)
[07:57] almoxarife: I don't understand your question.
[07:57] almo : ok
[07:58] If not linux is the operating system,then wat else is
the operating system?
[07:59] cheenu: you really should read up on these things,
this is the ubuntu support channel
[08:00] ok
[08:00] cheenu: an operating system is more than just a

[08:02] i all. i have a "small" problem with my backup. i have
a backup using 500GB rdx cartridges. the cartridges are labeled with
"e2label". i use 3 cartridges. 1 for MO/WED , 1 for TUE/THUR and 1 for
FRI. i have a cronjob running on working days at 11pm. the backup works
on all days except monday. the script does following: checking label ->
mounting device -> copying files -> unmount device -> eject device. On
monday he somehow fails mount the device with follo
[08:03] ZenMaster: english isn't a nationality ;)
[08:03] chris--: Your message was cut off at "fails mount the
device with follo".
[08:03] fails mount the device with followin error "mount:
special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist"
[08:03] though, on wednesday it works using the same cartridge
[08:03] chris--: run: sudo fdisk -l to see available
partitions
[08:04] chris--: Are you mounting via /dev/disk/by-label/? If
not, why not?

[08:06] if windows8 is like ME or VISTA, I will format it and
install ubuntu instead
[08:07] Darth_X: you may find Ubuntu suits your needs,
regardless of how it is
[08:07] chris--: I would recommend something like "sudo mount
/dev/disk/by-label/your_label_here /mountpoint".
[08:07] ubottu, : ok ....am i using it correctly what u have
said?
[08:07] cheenu: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm
intelligent :)
[08:08] Darth_X: It's hard to use Ubuntu if you have all your
personal files on Windows7. I'm speaking from my own experience. ;)
[08:08] chris--: I too think that what Jordan_U said about
mounting the disk via disk-by-label is good idea to avoid problems with
names sdbX
[08:08] cheenu: yes, you are highlighting nicks fine
[08:08] Lasers: just restore the, from backup to your

[08:09] cheenu: ubottu is the channel bot, so saying
stuff to her which isn't a request for factoid will generate that
response
[08:09] cheenu: What is your native language?
[08:09] chris--: or using /dev/disk/by-uuid/ is yet another
option
[08:11] chris--: I assume you ruled out broke dick hardware?
[08:12] what is in /usr/src/linux?
[08:12] Jordan_U, susundberg: thanks, mounting by label sounds
like a good suggestion .. but could it be that always on monday it is
assaigned another device than sdb1 ?

[09:00] Hi
[09:00] I've got a keyboard called Media Wireless Desktop by
Labtec. I tried to set the keyboard shortcuts directly from the
Applications-> Settings-> Xfce4 settings manager -> Keyboard->
Applications shortcuts. I clicked on Add and for example I typed the
command 'evolution'. I pressed Ok and then the system asked me to type
the key on the keyboard.
[09:00] In this case the key was correctly recognized as
XF86Mail and has been included in the list of shortcuts. But if I press
the mail key, it always happens the same problem, that instead of opening
evolution, the pc goes into stand-by. Is anyone able to understand what
the problem is due? I even tried keytouch editor and it recognized the
keys.
[09:01] But after setting up the keyboard with keytouch, if
I press the 'mail' key, the PC goes always on standby for no reason

[09:26] aple: I occasionally have windows running inside
virtualbox on ubuntu
[09:26] ActionParsnip: I'm looking graphical frontends for
tweaking the distro
[09:26] aple: virtualbox is nice and simple
[09:27] cillo564: there are settings apps in the menus,
depends what you want to tweak...#
[09:27] Are there any cons to running a VirtualBox?
[09:27] This looks perfect:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox :)
[09:28] aple: running both OSes at the same times uses a
lot of ram and cpu
[09:28] ActionParsnip: I was thinking is ther more graphical
tools than what comes default in gnome or kde system tools
[09:28] aple: if you want native USB access then install
the closed source vitualbox from the virtualbox ppa
[09:28] cillo564: I guess there are, not sure though.
What do you want to tweak?
[09:29] cillo564: do you have ubuntu-tweak too?
[09:29] Where exactly is the list of programs that run on
startup stored?
[09:29] Soothsayer: do you mean at boot, or at login?
[09:30] ActionParsnip, I'm not sure. When do services like
apache, mysql, mongodb, etc start? at boot or login?
[09:30] ActionParsnip: thanks for help, it seems my co-worker
is idiot
[09:30] !boot | Soothsayer
[09:30] Soothsayer: Boot options:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup
services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own
startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot -

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[09:30] ActionParsnip: How much RAM/CPU we talkin' here? I've got
4GB RAM and some 2-3 yr old processor. Think I could run Ubuntu in a
virtualbox from Win7 and be able to dev in Ubuntu and design in Win7
without a big hinge?
[09:30] aple: you'll be fine then
[09:30] Sweet :)
[09:30] i need help im trying to install the gnome 3 desktop but
i get an error message
[09:31] aple: the host OS will obviously suffer some
speed degredation but you'll be ok
[09:31] Now, can I still load my Ubuntu install from boot?
[09:31] This virtualbox stuff sounds friggin' awesome :)
[09:31] lboken: can you pastebin your error please?
[09:31] aple: simple yet effective
[09:31] aple: vmware also exists
[09:32] ActionParsnip, and where's the startup script file
located?
[09:32] lboken: installing gnome3 on natty will more than
likely break stuff, just so you know
[09:32] Soothsayer: /etc/rc.d afaik
[09:33] ActionParsnip: What was that bit about USB? I have an
external HD I need to access frequently but probably not from Ubuntu
(which would be in the virtualbox).
[09:34] aple the usb stuff is for directly acessing a usb
device. not needed in your example.
[09:34] susundberg, Jordan_U: hey its me again. just wanted to
say that mount by label seems to work fine :) just one more question
since i cant test it at the moment: can i also eject the device by label
then ? /usr/bin/eject /dev/disk/by-label/$LABEL ?
[09:34] aple: then if you want access to it then you will
need to add the virtualbox ppa and install the closed source one from
there: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[09:35] ActionParsnip: :http://pastebin.com/1QHGw5re
[09:35] !gnome3 | lboken
[09:35] lboken: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A
PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-
team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE,
will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be
downgraded safely.
[09:35] ActionParsnip: im looking generally what i can tweak,
is there more apps like ubuntu-tweak?
[09:35] chris--: afaik sure you can " The device
corresponding to is ejected. The name can be a device file or
[09:35] mount point, either a full path or with
the leading "/dev", "/media" or "/mnt"
[09:35] cillo564: not sure there dude
[09:35] omitted. If no name is specified, the default
name "cdrom" is used."
[09:35] ActionParsnip: But I can do that from within Ubuntu's
virtualbox right? Then just restart VirtualBox and it will recognize the
USB?
[09:36] ok so basicly the gnome 3 is not compatible with ubuntu
yet
[09:36] thanks then for the information
[09:36] aple: not sure of that, could try it. You can
always add the extra software source later and install virtualbox-4.1
[09:36] susundberg, hehe ok, thx susu :)
[09:36] lboken: its default in Oneiric
[09:36] hi
[09:37] k
[09:37] when dos oneiric is due to be released?
[09:37] so.. how come I have nautilus windows that won't respond?
the hell?
[09:37] this should never happen. ever.
[09:37] Ok, I'm about to get downright freaky with this VirtualBox
[09:37] k i find my info thanks anyway bye all
[09:38] Thanks so much guys, this was exactly what I was hoping
for :D
[09:38] qmr: should is a wondeful word
[09:38] ActionParsnip, hmm that file does not exist for me.
[09:38] qmr: kill it off
[09:38] nor can I find mongodb in bump.
[09:38] I did.
[09:38] but it still tries to start everytime i start my
comp
[09:38] aple, "freaky" lol ... mm i just got in here and i see
this ,,, ..mm ahhh get a rain coat?
[09:39] when did ubuntu become "beta test our crap on unsuspecting
users"?
[09:39] Soothsayer: if you use the update-rc.d you can
add and remove items from bootup
[09:39] qmr: which release are you using?
[09:39] is there any 11.10 beta available for download?
[09:39] qmr: lsb_release -sc will tell you
[09:39] qmr every non lts is that way basically.
[09:39] is there any 11.10 beta available for download?
[09:40] burg: yes it went Beta1 on the 1st Sept
[09:40] "natty" I believe
[09:40] 1104
[09:40] dr-willis: I wish someone had given me the memo
[09:40] html: Yeah, I realized how horrible that sounded, but I
guess it matched my personality enough not to take it back... Isn't that
right Jillina? *gently pets his Japandroid-girl*
[09:40] anybody know how to disable putting daemon scripts to
autostart on install step (configure apt or dpkg)?
[09:40] qmr: ok can you pastebin the output of:
lsb_release -a; apt-cache policy nautilus
[09:40] ActionParsnip, oh, I found mongodb in the Bump gui..
but I can't seem to edit it
[09:40] qmr been that way for ages.
[09:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/683318/
[09:42] they should rename ubuntu to SNS Linux
[09:42] dr-willis: I've never experienced this much BS before this
current version
[09:42] Hello folks, I've just installed virtualmin and I want
to have multiple versions of php installed. Is it possible to have
multiple versions installed? If so, could you point me in the right
direction?
[09:42] !server | GeorgeJ
[09:42] GeorgeJ: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu
designed especially for server environments, including a server specific
!kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications.

[09:43] hi guys, can I ask postgresql newbie question here?
nobody replied me in #postgresql ...
[09:43] qmr: have you reported a bug?
[09:43] I've had about 10x in last week when desktop has stopped
responding requiring multiple GDM restarts, and 3 times system has
crashed completely
[09:44] I sent shuttleworth some hate tweets.
http://i.imgur.com/VkC3I.jpg
[09:44] qmr, bs you say ? well i do say that since 11.04 we
offically have a linux distro just like VISTA , and 11,10 is going to be
like win7 (its a toss up)
[09:45] What all are the startup script files on ubuntu?
[09:45] html: is that good or bad? :P
[09:45] qmr, I stick with LTS versions; unless ones hdw is
cutting/bleeding edge, for me, that's the best bet. Sorry you're having
problems w/Natty.
[09:45] Soothsayer: /etc/rc.d/
[09:46] qmr, I don't have that file.
[09:46] I have an rc.local (file) and rc0.d , rc1.d, etc,
etc which are directories
[09:46] well that's not quite correct. it's /etc/init.d/, and
/etc/rc[1-6].d for various runlevels
[09:47] !upstart | Soothsayer
[09:47] Soothsayer: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V
Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please

[09:47] Anyone able to help with ipv6 issues?
[09:47] qmr: does it happen as all users?
[09:47] ActionParsnip: single user system
[09:47] qmr, so /etc/init.d/apache2 is what causes apache
to start at boot?
[09:48] qmr: no, Ubuntu is a multi-user OS
[09:48] qmr: make ANOTHER user and see if it's the same
with vanilla settings
[09:48] Soothsayer: that's teh apache control script, it's started
from ...
[09:48] why don't you put that in a memo and entitle it "Shit I
Already Know"
[09:49] qmr: seriously, watch the language
[09:49] Soothsayer: the bit that starts apache is going to be
something like /etc/rc2.d/S20apache2
[09:50] qmr: your settings for nautilus may be corrupted,
if the app reads them it may hang. A new user with default settings
behaving the same way as the current user will point to the app being
defective, if it is ok then it is simply your user settings which are bad
[09:50] it's not a regularly occuring problem though
[09:51] qmr: its worth exploring
[09:51] hi
[09:51] hai
[09:51] qmr, And if the apps defective, you could try
totally removing it and reinstalling (Nautilus).
[09:52] qmr, wow, these files go over my head. I expected
there to be just one line saying apache2ctl restart or something
[09:52] qmr, But you probably already know that. :D
[09:52] Hello everyone, my hibernate does not work. It wored
before but it no longer works, I use Dell Vostro 1310 and i"m on natty
[09:52] actuallty, sudo service apache2 start, or somesuch
[09:52] I just need to install 10.04 or whenever ubuntu was last
junk
[09:52] i downloaded the latest mupen64plus, ran install.sh in
terminal, it installed. now what? how do i run the program?
[09:53] Soothsayer: what are you wanting to change about how apache
runs or when it runs or?
[09:53] Hello everyone, my hibernate does not work. It worked
before but it no longer works, I use Dell Vostro 1310 and i"m on natty..
Please how can I get it working again?
[09:53] uabn93: if you run: which muppen64plus does
it output anything?
=== fisted_ is now known as fisted
[09:53] qmr, 10.04 works (almost) flawlessly for me.
[09:53] wh1zz0: tried booting old kernels?
[09:53] qmr, I want to actually change the startup
configuration used for mongodb, not apache.
[09:53] qmr: How do I do that? When it's loading I hold shift
right/
[09:53] ?
[09:54] normally, I started it with the command sudo mongod
--dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/ but I want to see how does it start on
boot.
[09:54] wh1zz0: when your computer starts you should see a GRUB
screen with your configured OS's listed.. old kernels will be an option
there
[09:54] wh1zz0: did this loss of functionality happen after a
kernel update? Or other software update?
[09:54] ActionParsnip: So, once I make this VirtualBox, will it
save it's state or do I have to do that manually? For instance, if I
download a bunch of apps and such on the Ubuntu virtualbox, will they
load the next time I hit "Start" or do I have to save that state lest I
start off on a clean Ubuntu install every time?
[09:54] ActionParsnip: its in /usr/local/bin/mupen64plus how do
i go about opening it?
[09:55] aple: the virtualbox is persistent
[09:55] uabn93: you can make a launcher on the desktop to
run that comamnd and you can then double click the launcher
[09:55] qmr: I have just one OS .. which is ubuntu.. when my
computer starts it just shows DELL, then purple and then writes ubuntu
and heads to the login screen
[09:56] wh1zz0: it sounds like you have timeout 0 in grub or such
..
[09:56] Hi there. I'm using "classic" Gnome (2.32) on Ubuntu
11.04 and added a drawer applet to a left-hand panel. When you first add
thing into the panel it work fine, but once you log out (or killall
gnome-panel) it doesn't show when you click it.
[09:56] aple: you can stop systems and save state, or you
can shut them down etc. The updates and changes you make are persistent
between boots
[09:56] wh1zz0: or try pressing shift key when your computer comes
on?
[09:56] qmr: I'm guessing it must have happened after I
installed something, but I am not sure what because I installed a whole
lot of things on that day
[09:56] wh1zz0: hold left shift while pc boots
[09:57] Eventually figured out how to get it showing but now
it seems oriented in the top left corner of the screen and I can't move
it and ubuntu seems to ignore any changes I make to its position
properties. Anyone know how to fix this?
[09:57] qmr: So which of the kernels do you sugges I boot?
[09:57] wh1zz0: NOT whatever the highest numbered one is. go
backwards one by one until you find one that hibernates properly
[09:57] ActionParsnip, qmr: So interesting :)))
[09:58] qmr, damo22: But will this affect any setting I have or
will it roll back any installed program?
[09:58] wh1zz0: no. this is booting a different kernel image.
you're still running the same software
[09:58] wh1zz0: it will just load a different kernel, all the
apps stay intact
[09:59] Hi
[09:59] herro
[10:00] qmr, damo22: Great.. Thanks for this.. Will try that
now.
[10:00] Ave Brutus maximus
[10:01] i can't find the acpid deamon listed among the
processes in the system monitor. Is acpid the name of the daemon?
[10:01] damo22, :D
[10:01] damo22, ave a te
[10:02] ActionParsnip: for some reason, creating a shortcut
doesn't open the program
[10:02] uabn93: you can run: alacarte and add to the
menu that way
[10:04] there are way too many verbs in latin that mean to kill
[10:05] and yet we use the english version to kill a system
process in linux
[10:08] Hey uhm, I'm getting ready to fresh install 11.10 over my
11.04 installation, but I just remembered I chose to encrypt my home
folder, is there any way to reverse this so all my files are accessible
when I install 11.10?
[10:10] jasef: make sure you know the password that encypts your
data, and preferably which algorithm
[10:11] I know my password, but I don't know what algorithm
Ubuntu encrypts home folders with.
[10:11] jasef: good point, neither do i
[10:12] when in doubt... backup... ;)
[10:12] jasef: is your home folder on a separate partition?
[10:13] i can't find the acpid deamon listed among the
processes in the system monitor. Is acpid the name of the daemon?
[10:13] full disk encryption is awesome, but it does not seem to
be available on the main installation media (alternate install CD
supports it though)
[10:13] I think its a big headache
[10:14] ActionParsnip: i agree
[10:14] 大家好
[10:14] what about truecrypt
[10:14] 请用中文
[10:14] 谢谢
[10:15] i like to be free to dd a partition and remount it
without worrying about encryption algorithms
[10:15] no

[10:15] whats a good guide for learning fdisk? that explains
cylinders, heads etc...
[10:15] ActionParsnip: i tried it all and nothing seems to work.
should i restart or something?
=== Badgerpo1 is now known as Badgerpoo
[10:16] Dori922: cylinders/heads/sectors are not really relevant
in todays hardware as everything is logical block addressing
[10:16] how do i "reboot your computer and select the Linux
kernel 3.0 entry on your GRUB boot loader."
[10:17] Dori922: wikipedia pages on hard drives and
partitions is a good start.
[10:17] kescc: use your keyboard arrows
[10:17] uabn93 what do you mean, when
[10:17] lol
[10:17] Dori922: although if you are doing something strange
like rebuilding a usb-zip drive you might need it
[10:17] uabn93 when at reboot i should use arrows?
[10:18] uabn93 i dont even know what is GRUB, explaine please
[10:18] How much RAM should I allocate for this Ubuntu VirtualBox
y'think?
[10:18] 4gb total
[10:18] kescc: explain what are you trying to do? There is no 3.0
kernel in current ubuntu version
[10:18] Doing a lot of Photoshop on Win7
[10:18] uabn93: what will rebooting achieve?
[10:18] aple1: probably not more than 50% of your total ram?
[10:19] I was thinking 768mb.
[10:19] oCean yes it is, i am trying
http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Linux-Kernel-3-0-on-Ubuntu-
11-04-217409.shtml
[10:19] Think Ubuntu will run smoothly with that?
[10:19] uabn93: try: cd ~/Desktop; ln -s
/usr/local/bin/mupen64plus
[10:19] damo22: I have a server with a 1tb drive and want to
have ~ 50gb in the server partition and 950gb in a storage partition..
then subdivide the storage partition into different logical
partitions(for different users)
[10:19] kescc: grub is the black screen that shows up when you
boot up your computer. when you see that screen, u get 10 seconds to
choose which operating system to boot. use the up and down arrows and
enter to select
[10:19] damo22: when i use fdisk it asks me about stuff like
cylinders :o
[10:19] Dori922: thats not too hard, try gparted
[10:19] kescc: that kernel is from a PPA, those are not supported
3rd party repositories. Be very careful when using PPA's
[10:20] kescc i dont get that, i have only ubuntu on this machine
[10:20] uabn93 ^
[10:20] damo22: isnt that a gui system? i dont have a gui on
the server :s
[10:20] jasef: ubuntu uses aes+xts for harddisk encryption
[10:20] Dori922: oh okay, then i know how to do it
[10:21] Dori922: it will be painful from command line though
[10:21] kescc: if you only have ubuntu, then a list will show up
when you have more that one kernel installed
[10:21] damo22: if i had a gui it would be fine but i dont :P
unless i install a gnome gui and then uninstall when the partitions are
done...
[10:21] ultrixx, thanks. I'm thinking I might just go the easy
cheap way and copy the files out and then back in after installing 11.10
lol...
[10:22] Dori922: perhaps you can boot the server into a livecd
and use gparted
[10:23] Dori922: so you dont have to touch the server install,
just run the livecd temporarily while you partition the drive in a gui
[10:23] how do i check systems specks
[10:23] hi! I need to install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0, but it's not
present on my Ubuntu. Do I need to add the repo for it?
http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
[10:23] damo22: can i do that -after- servers installed?
[10:23] or how do I install it?
[10:23] lng: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[10:23] vanquish349: there are several ways.. lspci, lsusb, cat
/proc/cpuinfo, cat /proc/meminfo etc. Running sudo lshw will give a
comprehensive list of your hardware config
[10:24] Dori922: sure why not..
[10:24] thanks
[10:24] ActionParsnip: I have lucid
[10:24] damo22: thanks :D *new*
[10:25] Dori922: are you sure you want separate partitions for
each user, or just a partition for /home
[10:26] lng: then you may need to upgrade to maverick, or
find a ppa with the app
[10:26] tendua
[10:26] lng: mixing packages between releases is not
advised or supported
[10:27] ActionParsnip: how do I upgrade to maverick?
[10:27] Dori922: i think its possible to set up disk quotas for
each user without giving them physical restriction by partition
[10:27] ActionParsnip: do I need livecd?
[10:27] !upgrade | lng
[10:27] lng: For upgrading, see the instructions at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade
[10:27] k
[10:27] tnx
[10:27] ActionParsnip: that didn't work. is there a way to run
it without it being installed? maybe i should look for an unoff. repo
[10:27] ssl handshake error on pidgin sipe : office communicator
[10:29] damo22: i need to have each partition as secure for
each user as possible ideally i want to stop them ls'ing each others
partitions
[10:29] Dori922: you can do that with permissions
[10:29] Dori922: on the same partition
[10:29] damo22: so im practicing with seperate partitions so i
can encrypt etc...
[10:29] Dori922: you can just set proper modes to stop that
[10:30] hi all
[10:30] dr-willis: damo22: will partitioning give no benifits
at all? :s
[10:30] Dori922: i cant really think if any
[10:31] unless they are on diff hds.
[10:31] then you could see some speed gains i guess
[10:31] wats new with ubuntu 11.04
[10:31] Dori922: partitioning means you can easily back up an
encypted partition using dd
[10:32] ActionParsnip: so simple. on Gento it would took me 2 or 3
days to get all of the packages compiled, rebuit
[10:32] damo22: that will be handy though :P
[10:32] !user group
[10:32] ActionParsnip: Sorry to keep bumming you for help, but is
there somewhere I need to put the ubuntu .iso or does it only need to
load once?
[10:32] damo22: might be worth the extra effort...
[10:33] Dori922: i shudder at the thought of encrypting a whole
partition though
[10:33] aple1: put it wherever you want
[10:33] Dori922: you will suffer a speed loss
[10:33] So it only needs loaded once?
[10:33] Then I can delete it?
[10:33] Or will the iso always need to be fetched?
[10:33] aple1: you just tell the virtualbox to use it, be
sure you MD5 test the ISO before you use it
[10:33] damo22: the partitions are only gonna be ~20gb though
and they need to be as secure as possible, i have a i7 8core cpu with 8gb
ram so im hoping that keeps speed loss low
[10:34] MD5?
[10:34] aple1: once the OS is installed, you can delete
the instal ISO if you wish
[10:34] md5sums are sexy.
[10:34] !md5 | aple1
[10:34] aple1: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files
for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see

[10:34] Thanks Action
[10:34] Lemme know PM if you have PayPal and I'll send you a tip
[10:34] Heh,.
[10:34] Been incredibly helpful these past few nights
[10:34] aple1: i try
[10:35] aple1: just enjoy the OS and be cool, that's all
we ask :)
[10:35] Any ideas why Ubuntu will only show me the stock CPU
clock speed and not the overclocked speed which is set in the bios?
[10:35] Dori922: if you have trouble with encrypting a
filesystem and come back for help to recover your lost partition you may
find it difficult to get any help at all
[10:36] Anyone able to help with ipv6 issues?

not loaded: unity is not working fall back to GNOME2 sessione with awful
resolution
[10:36] please help
[10:36] Well, im outta here
[10:37] nvidia-drivers are installed and they are working till now

[10:37] Badgerpoo: A high percentage of the first questions
asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask
your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq,
and !poll.
[10:37] uhm_: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot
[10:37] can't solve this crud
[10:37] Dori922: but if you stick with proper unix file
permissions and a single partition, it should be easy to get support
[10:37] ActionParsnip: but I have no xorg.conf files
[10:37] and nvidia-drivers worked liek a charm till now
[10:37] *like
[10:38] damo22: right now its a demo system with nothing bar
the server on the whole hard drive so i can trash it as often as possible
until i know how to encrypt.. once they are connected to an account and
encrypted, im hoping there arnt many ways to go wrong(users will only be
able to read and write)
[10:38] hi
[10:38] tell me some of the most useful packages
[10:38] damo22: its for an online backup system though, i was
thinking encrypting the partitions would increase security
[10:39] cheenu, most useful? kernel. :) See here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[10:39] cheenu, or have a look through the Ubuntu software
center.

[10:40] uhm_: that command will make one
[10:40] kvarley, where are you looking for your CPU speed?
cat /proc/cpuinfo ?
[10:40] Dori922: one thing i know for sure, if there is a
physical disk error, likely you will lose the whole partition rather than
just a sector from a file
[10:40] My Ubuntu 11.04 PC lost it's global ipv6 address
yesterday. It still has a link local address, but is now ignoring the RA
packets. tcpdump sees the RA packets arriving, and some other ipv6
traffic on eth0. The network widget has been set to "ignore" and
"automatic" but neither work.
[10:41] Hyperbyte: In System Monitor and cpuinfo it shows the
2.93GHz speed rather than 4GHz. The output of my cpuinfo can be found
here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/683403/
[10:42] kvarley, /proc/cpuinfo even shows 1.2 ghz. I'd say
there is CPU scaling active on your system (to decrease warmth and power
usage of CPU), which ignores the BIOS overclock.
[10:44] Hyperbyte: CPU scaling running within Ubuntu or as part
of the hardware or something?
[10:44] Dori922: in my opinion you should chop the remainder of
the terabyte in half and use one just for backups of the main one
[10:44] damo22: chop as in make primary partitions?
[10:45] kvarley, which Ubuntu version?
[10:45] help me i messed up my system by following this
guide: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Linux-Kernel-3-0-on-
Ubuntu-11-04-217409.shtml and i got errors so i tried to reboot but it
doesent come to the login screen just that Ubuntu loader, and then to
some text with no gUI that tells me to login and password, how can i
enter gRUB ?
[10:45] damo22: im just pasting this convo to my boss now see
if he still wants me to partition :P *intern*
[10:45] Hyperbyte: 11.04 Desktop 64-bit
[10:45] Dori922: eg keep it simple with 1 partition for / one
for /home one for swap and one for backups
[10:45] Hyperbyte, : ok thanks...wru from?
[10:46] !ot | Cheenu
[10:46] Cheenu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all
Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other
topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!
[10:47] kvarley, hrm... not sure actually. My CPU on 11.04
x86_64 is scaling too, but no idea what part of the OS (assuming for a
second it is the OS) is responsible for it.
[10:48] can someone help me please? i installed gnome-shell but
forgot to tell my machine to load the gdm, so it's trying to logon
automatically without success
[10:48] Dori922: then you can backup the MBR as well so you keep
the whole partition table in one place, with 4 partitions they can all be
primary
[10:48] michael_p hey :)
[10:48] hey
[10:49] kvarley, I suppose it could be the BIOS as well, if
you have some cool 'n quiet feature enabled. Sorry, no idea anymore. I
don't overclock, so never ran into this.
[10:49] Hyperbyte: It's strange isn't it. This computer came
with windows 7 on it and that also said the stock speed and not the
overclocked one. I'd like to know how to turn scaling off for when I want
to encode video or do something cpu intensive. Forums post maybe?
[10:49] just getting the dvd version
[10:49] cd*
[10:49] damo22: and then with permissions ill be able to keep
users as only having read/write permissions for their "home" drives(and
set quota's to stop overuse?)
[10:49] Hyperbyte: I bought the pc as a prebuilt custom system
which came overclocked so I guess I'll have to look! Thanks for all the
help anyway :)
[10:49] kvarley, you could try to max out the CPU and see
what /proc/cpuinfo reports.
[10:49] Dori922: correct (home directories)
[10:50] Dori922: they would all be sharing one /home partition
[10:50] kvarley, /proc/cpuinfo will always report the current
megahertz the CPU is scaled to after "cpu MHz", not the maximum. It
could be that it's scaling it to the overclocked value, while other tools
still report the stock information.
[10:51] kvarley, so by maxing it out and seeing what
/proc/cpuinfo says you'll learn what value it's really running at when it
matters.
[10:51] is there anyway i can get ubuntu to load the gdm from the
terminal instead of trying to login automaticaslly?
[10:52] Hyperbyte: All 4 cores run at 2.93GHz when encoding,
which is maxed out to the stock value...hmmmm
[10:53] skpl: do you mean you want to disable gdm from starting
at boot, then launch it manually from the console?
[10:53] please help me i messed up my system by following
this guide: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Linux-Kernel-3-
0-on-Ubuntu-11-04-217409.shtml and i got errors so i tried to reboot and
now it doesent come to the login screen just that Ubuntu loader screen
and then it freezes, and then to some text with no gUI if i go crazy on
the keyboard while the ubuntu startup screen is loading that tells me to
login and password, what
[10:53] should i do now and how can i enter gRUB, like it
sais on the guide?
[10:54] kristoffer_: just choose the earlier kernel in grub
[10:54] jrib how do i enter it?
[10:54] dddbmt: okey so in /home primary partition all users
are added and in that partition their own directories are stored(ie user1
has "User1Homedir" with a 20gb disk quota and permissions to only access
that folder)..
[10:54] kristoffer_: hold shift during boot
[10:54] hello where i can find netbook edition download
[10:54] !unr | xxzz
[10:54] xxzz: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook
Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now
standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs.
[10:54] jrib ok ill try
[10:55] Dori922, huh?
[10:55] woops
[10:55] ok so i get 32 bit and install it, i trust the same should
work with kbuntu then
[10:55] Dori922: yes
[10:56] thanks :D damo22 !
[10:56] ;)
[10:56] xxzz, i got 11.04 installed on my mini9 with 4gigs of hd
space... it requires some workarounds
[10:57] there is a 3rd party ppa for the old netbook
interface if you desire it...
[10:57] damo22, well what i did was install gnome shell and i know
this breaks unity, so what i would like to do is select gnome-shell from
the gdm menu buit i have my computer set to login automatically, which it
is trying to do unsuccesfuylly right now, is there anyway to load gdm
without having started X yet?
[10:57] Dori922: once you have the partitioning done and grub
installed, you should back up the MBR for your server so should you lose
the partition table you can recover the /home partition with all their
data
[10:57] Hi all, I would like to ask if there exist a simple and
quick image-by-image editor for only changing image-name and meta data,
nothing else. I would like this for pix from the digicam to archive the
images correctly and not open each one individually in gimp (yes, gimp is
great but not for this kind of task. Please don't TLDR' me ^^, thx!)
[10:58] padi999: shotwell maybe
[10:58] aeplus, space no issue. i have 250 gig
[10:59] !info picasa | padi999
[10:59] padi999: Package picasa does not exist in natty
[10:59] !info fotoxx | padi999
[10:59] padi999: fotoxx (source: fotoxx): easy-to-use digital
photo editor. In component universe, is extra. Version 10.7-1ubuntu2
(natty), package size 1064 kB, installed size 2252 kB
[10:59] skp1: not sure what you have done im no expert on gnome
but you can try sudo service gdm stop; sudo service gdm start
[10:59] xxzz, oh... nm, with 250gb it sounds like a desktop
replacement
[10:59] aeplus, yeah
[10:59] damo22, ok i will
[11:00] awise12 and ActionParsnip thank you
[11:00] trying to get that on Eee PC 1011PX
[11:00] ActionParsnip: Yeah, good checksum :)
[11:00] aple1: good
[11:01] damo22, no, that didnt bring up the login screen
[11:01] is it worth running dist-upgrade for the new
11.10A update?
[11:01] padi999: try exiv2 if you want something command-line or
just use your favorite language's exif library
[11:01] skp1: check the Xorg logs in /var/log/Xorg...
[11:01] damo22: thanks a mil for this :D
[11:02] damo22, what should i be looking for?
[11:02] Dori922: no worries
[11:02] jrib: obviously I need to see the image I am
metatagging/renaming while I go through the images
[11:02] skp1: (EE) or (WW)
[11:02] padi999: so?
[11:03] so a commandline tool does not help here
[11:03] What I need is a program that shows me a picture and
editable metadata on the side and the name of the file, too. Then an
arrow that sends me to the next picture, simple, right?
[11:03] padi999: it depends on how you want to do it. Just
offering you options
[11:04] damo22, i got a fatal server error
[11:05] This is for ehancing the workflow of the process.
[11:05] padi999: shotwell and f-spot allow metadata
editing and renaming....
[11:05] skp1: does the error message fit on one line?
[11:05] ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip perfect
[11:06] ubuntu can except all graphics cards cause mine is a
xfx 250 gts
[11:06] damo: xf860-openconsole vt_waitactive failed: interrupted
system call
[11:06] ActionParsnip: Of course a lot of programs provide what
I need but I need to have easy access to that. Not having to click
through all menues on every picture
[11:06] padi what's your interest in metatagging and renaming
about
[11:06] damo22, alli wanna do is load my login screen so i can
select gnome-shell as my session
[11:07] guest34: sorting
[11:08] that's rather vauge. the reason i ask is because i am
very into tagging, semantics and organization.
[11:09] damo22, when i tried restartingt the gdm it just proceeded
to log me in autmatically
[11:09] guest34: Well, I have different people in every image
and I would like to be able to say "show all pictures containing person
X"
[11:09] or try to anyw3ay, i cant get in
[11:09] will ubuntu11.10 come with gnome too? or just unity?
[11:09] How can I tell if my PC is compatible with Ubuntu 64?
[11:09] .__.
[11:09] aple1 can you run 64bit applications?
[11:10] How do I forcefully close an open application? Sort
of a CTRL+ALT+DEL method.. ?
[11:10] yes padi. that's exactly what i want, for like all
information oO i am actively working to become set up for this. how
committed are you to the endeavor?
[11:10] burg: unity will run in gnome. unity is not a DE
[11:10] My server constantly eats out swap, and then
thrashing. I believe it is due to mysql server tuning, how do I detect
thrashing in cron?
[11:10] aple1: if you are using a Ubuntu guest OS, then
you need to see if your CPU will run 64bit guest OSes. Not all 64bit CPUs
can do this
[11:10] ActionParsnip, i`ve just installed 11.10 beta in virtual
machine, and i noticed that i can`t chose to login with gnome 2 (like in
11.04)
[11:10] guest34: phew, I just started browsing on the topic and
I cannot imagine noone ever wanted to do something like this. ^^
[11:11] Fixed my ipv6 issue, when you firewall all ipv6
traffic it doesn't work! :P
[11:11] burg: unity-2D replaces Ubuntu Classic which is
in Natty
[11:11] devcalais, kill "the-process-name".
[11:11] Seryth: Yeah, but when I tried to fire up an Ubuntu
virtualbox, it says, "This kernel requires an x86-64 cpu, but only
detected i686. Please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU."
[11:11] burg: Oneiric uses Gnome3
[11:11] ActionParsnip: That's probably the problem then.
[11:11] aple1 it's probably VB set up wrong
[11:11] Seryth: O rly?
[11:11] aple1: then you should check your BIOS has the
virtual 64bit guests feature enabled
[11:12] aple1: check if your CPU also can perform the
function
[11:12] aple1 have you got the 64 bit version of VB?
[11:12] skpl: did you get gnome-shell from a ppa?
[11:12] Whats the terminal command to find what your active
processes are?
[11:12] :P
[11:12] aple1: I suggest you take the easy road and use
32bit Ubuntu
[11:12] devcalais have you got htop installed?
[11:12] guest34: the suggestion by ActionParsnip to use
Shotwell is actually quite good, I'd say. Just need to find the shortcut
to "modify tags" and "renaming" and I'm good to go
[11:12] ActionParsnip, so it won`t come by default with the
classic desktop look? only this new unity?
[11:12] devcalais: ps
[11:12] Seryth: Yeah I got the 64bit VBox
[11:12] damo22, yes
[11:12] padi i feel this is one of the most pressing matters to
the computer, internet, information, searching, that hasn't been
adequately satsified. i am learning programming almost entirely for this
very matter
[11:12] burg: yes, Unity with effects (via compiz) or
unity-2D
[11:13] aple1 Hm, make sure you set up the virtual machine right
[11:13] ActionParsnip: I'll take your advice on this one. I don't
see what I'd use 64bit for anyway.
[11:13] ah, too bad. i don`t like unity at all
[11:13] htop? I'd guess not.
[11:13] burg: if you want the classic look, I suggest you
install XUbuntu and use that
[11:13] Seryth: I'm pretty sure I did. Is there anything I should
be particularly mindful of to make it 64bit friendly?
[11:13] padi i request we stay in touch to have more eyes on
the matter so to speak
[11:13] skpl:you could purge the ppa and revert to unity
[11:13] burg: or some other DE, you can stil use Gnome
based apps in KDE / XFCE / LXDE etc
[11:13] devcalais don't worry. Htop is a resources
watcher/manager, sort of like win task manager (sudo apt-get install
htop)
[11:13] jrib ok i found grub and tried with all the 3 older
kernels that was on the list but it doesent go any longer than the ubuntu
startup loader then it says on my screen "no signal" and my screen turns
of, its because i uinstalled NVIDIA drivers like it said in the guide
right? what can i do now?
[11:14] damo22, i cant get logged in
[11:14] aple1 considering I don't use VB, I've got no clue :P.
Just use 32 bit ;)
[11:14] Seryth: cheers, I'll give it browse. Time to browse
more manuals.
[11:14] :)
[11:14] or combine our observations on it
[11:14] haha dammit I was going to but you kept telling me it was
a config problem :D
[11:14] skpl: do you have network?
[11:14] kristoffer_: can you get to a tty? Or recovery mode in
one of the older kernels?
[11:14] Wanted to sort that out
[11:14] Ok, 32-bit'n this
[11:14] ;)
[11:14] bildramer was here O.o
[11:15] damn
[11:15] damo22, im not sure
[11:15] skpl: from console type ping -c 3 www.google.com
[11:15] i'm currently working on learning rdf. linking in linux
may also have potential. i have only begun to learn linux. i also
envision some software for automatically analyzing pages for easier input
for tags
[11:15] aple1: could use the minimal ISO and install from
the web :)
[11:16] computer vision seems quite primitive, and i am not
about to wait until that gets sorted out. is software to more easily tag
what you are looking for?
[11:16] jrib, whats tty? i tried recovery mode and it comes
to a screen with alot of text
[11:16] kristoffer_: install the nvidia drivers there
[11:16] jrib how do i install them?
[11:17] kristoffer_: how did you do it before? How did you
uninstall them?
[11:17] yet again.. any ideas as to why UBUNTU is not able to
connect to an ad-hoc network? (secured or open, doesn't matter) - ewlist
wlan0 scan does actually list the network, so does network manager.. but
stupuntu won't connect
[11:17] ActionParsnip: The 32-bit .iso? S'what I'm doin'!
[11:18] jrib i dissabled it in the ubuntu gui
[11:18] unicum: stupuntu ?
[11:18] kristoffer_: use jockey-text
[11:18] yes.. it's throwing to matching words together.. stupid
and ubuntu
[11:18] jrib and then?
[11:18] !wisreless | unicum
[11:18] !wireless | unicum
[11:18] unicum: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides
and troubleshooting information, can be found at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:19] yah.. thx.. i've been through this a bazillion times
[11:19] damo22, yeah i have networking, how do i purge the ppa?
[11:20] unicum: i' using a wifi at the moment and it works
flawlesly ;)
[11:20] i didn't say wireless doesn't work
[11:20] i said connecting wireless to an ad-hoc doesn't work
[11:20] skpl: cat /etc/apt/sources.list and find the name of the
ppa
[11:20] therefore wireless doesn't work
[11:20] lol
[11:22] damo22, i dont see it, how do i scroll up?
[11:22] Hey everyone
[11:22] skpl: shift pageup
[11:22] could anyone tell me how to set up a decent nas on
ubuntu
[11:22] aple1: you can use the 12Mb minimal ISO which
will install using packages over the web. Very cool
[11:23] damo22, i donts see it anywhere
[11:23] skpl: should be a line in that file such as
[11:23] skpl: deb http://ppa....
[11:24] hello
[11:24] hiya
[11:25] when I'm trying "route del 192.168.0.0" I get "SIOCDELRT:
No such process". How i can delete that route?
[11:25] * awise12 is reading
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[11:25] Pies: using sudo?
[11:25] running as root
[11:25] other routes deleted without problems
[11:26] Pies: are you sure that route still exists?
[11:26] pies, is that a valid route?
[11:26] yeah, route returns it
[11:26] route's depreciated in favor of the 'ip' command .. and
one might need to specify the subnetmask as well
[11:26] Pies: could restart the networking service, see
if it helps
[11:27] Pies: i have experience with some VPN software that
stuffs up the routing table under linux
[11:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/683443/
[11:28] damo22, its not there
[11:29] ActionParsnip: /etc/init.d/networking restart ? was trying
that too
[11:29] Pies: sudo service networking restart is the
new way
[11:30] skpl: ls /etc/apt/
[11:30] I should add any params?
[11:30] skpl: see if theres a separate file with a ppa
[11:30] "service"? isn't that Fedora?
[11:30] Pies: should be fine
[11:31] damo22: don't have any VPN, only wicd is managing my
network, but that shouldn't make me unable to delete route
[11:31] szal: possibly
[11:31] ActionParsnip: restart: Unknown instance:
[11:31] Pies: i see
[11:31] szal, "service" is related to upstart, which has been
used by ubuntu for a few releases now
[11:31] the 'upstart way' would be: sudo stop networking && sudo
start networking
[11:31] hi!
[11:32] jrib ok i found grub and tried with all the 3 older
kernels that was on the list but it doesent go any longer than the ubuntu
startup loader then it says on my screen "no signal" and my screen turns
of, its because i uinstalled NVIDIA drivers like it said in the guide
right? what can i do now?
[11:32] is it so hard for Ubuntu creators to make all file
supports on audacious. In my case - *.wma. There was also problems with
playing *.mkv files but luckily Totem came with support wich worked
great. File support problems are very bad thing if the target is windows
users as well
[11:32] Pies: sudo ip route del 192.168.0.0/24
[11:33] getting this with compiz --relace
:http://pastebin.com/XeVCkVNp . How to solve it?
[11:33] _ruben: thanks!
[11:33] it seems it worked
[11:33] szal, "start servicename" is a synonym to "service

problem with debain 6.0(LXDE)
[11:34] ubuntu_: I'd ask in #compiz too
[11:35] new to linux and i love it. so here is a question i
hope somene can help me with. im trying to find and ip by screen name,
or see what all ip' are used by that screen name. is it possible
[11:35] skpl: grep -r ppa /etc/apt
[11:35] ubuntu_: I've not seen LXDE run compiz, maybe it
needs some extra packages or settings. I'm sure the #compiz guys will be
able to help
[11:35] trinity: define "screen name"
[11:35] .clear
[11:35] hope so. LXDE + compiz works AWESOME in
Knoppix so inspired from it.
[11:36] lets say frank123@yahoo. i guess i should have said
email address
[11:36] can you understand something from the
paste
[11:37] ubuntu_: coolio
[11:37] ubuntu_: not myself, I'm not too conversant with
compiz. Only just started using it in Oneiric. I usually use LXDE +
openbox
=== Benji is now known as Guest47826
[11:38] damo22, ok i found it
[11:38] how do i purge it?
[11:38] skpl: what is it
[11:38] there are sum great tutorial in compiz on you tube very
ez to follow
[11:38] i cant get unetbootin to create bootable usb on asus pc
[11:38] Oneiric.... too fast. I want to install
lubuntu on pendrive but want to use compiz also. Lets see of somebody
sees to it :)
[11:38] skpl: ppa.launchpad.net/....?
[11:38] wtf
[11:39] damo22, yeah
[11:39] skpl: i need the actual words after that
[11:39] xxzz: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[11:39] yes
[11:40] damo22, it says gnome3-team/gnome3./ubuntu natty main
[11:40] If I want to create a wiki page (or whatever) containing
information how to solve issues after installing Ubuntu on a certain
laptop, where should I go and add this?
[11:40] xxzz: ok does unetbootin run through ok and
create the USB device ok?
[11:40] yes
[11:40] doesnt report any errors
[11:41] skpl: okay, sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
[11:41] jadahl: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ just add an
extra word on the end and you can make the new page
[11:41] what needs to be done here
[11:41] xxzz: ok and so you keep the stick in and reboot
the system, then tell the BIOS to boot USB. What happens?
[11:41] What does the start/end in "xrandr --verbose" mean
for a given timing?
[11:41] damo22: it says command not found
[11:41] ActionParsnip: is this the recommended place? see, I
already did, but on help.ubuntu.com/community
[11:42] it boots the hard disk
[11:42] !find ppa-purge
[11:42] Found: ppa-purge
[11:42] a frnd of mine sent me a folder containing some mp3
files. not as an archive. he sent the whole folder. aftr recieving, its
being shown as a tar archive and cant be open. anything can be done?
[11:42] jadahl: Its a place, not sure about recomended,
could add it to the !hcl site too
[11:42] through IM
[11:42] jadahl: there's also here http://linux-
laptop.net/
[11:42] skpl: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
[11:43] xxzz: did you change the boot order?
[11:43] ubuntu_, did you try launching compiz by using fusion-
icon ? (this has solved some issues for me in the past) Also do you have
a custom xorg.conf file ?
[11:43] when I log in, KDE fills my screen with all sorts of
programs I may have used days ago.. how do I disable session saving, and
why is it enabled by default?
[11:43] damo22: tar xvf filename
[11:43] damo22: ok
[11:43] damo22: or install unp and use unp to extract
everything
[11:43] didn't tried icon. xorg.conf file---- where
is it?
[11:44] maybe Ubuntu Friendly will be the future place for these
kinds of things
[11:44] ActionParsnip: damno, not damo22
[11:44] ActionParsnip, yes i did
[11:44] or whatever it was
[11:44] ubuntu_, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:44] ActionParsnip: aint working
[11:44] ActionParsnip: this isnt a tar archive after all
[11:44] okay, found it
[11:44] damno: what is the output of: file filename
[11:45] damno: the file comamnd will tell you what it is
[11:45] ActionParsnip: "SPANISH GUITAR.tar: data"
[11:45] damno: gah
[11:45] ActionParsnip: I tried opening it with nautilus didnt
work

archive the data and resend

[11:46] Hi, I asked this question already today, but I left
for school and forgot what to do ;_;. So when I try to boot to Ubuntu (I
have installed via Wubi) from the windows boot menu, normally GRUB boot
menu comes to ask which kernel version (or something like that) I want to
use, but today it boots to this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/683453/
[11:46] Ok and what to do with it?
[11:46] I just restarted my computer and now the file system
is read only
[11:46] ActionParsnip: yeah.. thats wat I hoped wont have to be
done :D
[11:46] It's 10.10 if that makes a difference
=== jason is now known as Guest21712
[11:47] damno: you may be able to use foremost on it and
extract files..
[11:47] Eliasmaster: type "root (hd0,
=== Guest21712 is now known as jasef
[11:47] ubuntu_, you actually have that file ? could you
pastebin it so I can have a look ?
[11:47] Eliasmaster: sorry no "
[11:48] aww
[11:48] so when I select 'Ubuntu' it boots to that
[11:48] ActionParsnip: okey.. lemme try. Thanks for the help.
[11:49] Eliasmaster: does that bring up anything?
[11:49] When I run mount - http://pastebin.com/Ue0KxmbS
[11:49] groundup, This may sound condisending/stupid, but
did you forget to remove the LiveCD?
[11:49] Well actually, I will try it soon, I booted to
windows to access IRC
[11:49] so "root (hd0,"
[11:49] TAB is where I press TAB
[11:50] Not a stupid question. I will check (it is in the
server room)
[11:50] NO. nothing like xorg . I have xsession :(
[11:50] Eliasmaster: means press tab
[11:50] Hey folks
[11:50] hey
[11:50] Eliasmaster: but that wont boot anything yet
[11:51] using emerald and getting less errors :
http://pastebin.com/SQbsjgAm
[11:51] Eliasmaster: that will bring up a list of partitions you
can boot from
[11:51] Sidewinder1: no liveCD in there
[11:51] ubuntu_, does compiz launch this time ?
[11:52] groundup, It was just a thought..
[11:52] Eliasmaster: do you have another pc with internet you
can log into irc and do this at the same time?
[11:52] no
[11:52] But I have my phone
[11:52] with internet
[11:52] I will be the one named 'Viderizer'
[11:52] hey all, anyone know any decent tools that allow you
full access to the iphone 4 from ubuntu ?
[11:53] Eliasmaster: well youre gonna be stuck at the bootloader
for a while i think
[11:53] No. getting same a teminal with fallback....
need to do openbox--replace in the same terminal...
[11:53] damo22: would it be possible just copy all my files
somehow and reinstall ubuntu?
[11:53] What is the error the pastebin says...?
Anything missing need to intall
=== jasef_ is now known as jasef
[11:54] ubuntu_, it's an error with color depth (I think it
should be 24 bits and not 32 bits) but I don't know where this should be
configured now
[11:54] Eliasmaster: you can always boot a livecd and mount the
hard drive to back up, you should already have a backup before you play
with the pc
[11:54] Ok
[11:55] Eliasmaster: why not just use your backup...
[11:55] I just installed Gnome 3 on 11.04, kinda dissapointed
that I can't find a place to change the window theme, and my touchpad
doesnt turn back on after I turn it off even though the touchpad on
symbol comes up on the screen
[11:55] I don't have a backup :/
[11:55] jasef: gnome3 isn't stable in natty
[11:55] I've noticed :P
[11:56] Eliasmaster: why not? Your drive motor could
randomly fail....
[11:56] I have only a backup with windows...
[11:56] jasef: every guide you find warns you that it's
not too...
[11:56] Eliasmaster: do you have an external drive with your
files on it?
[11:56] no :/
[11:56] Anyone here know a thing or two about reversed zones with
bind9?
[11:56] well
[11:56] ActionParsnip, I know, I was ready for it to not be
stable :P, I'm always downloading betas and unstable stuff, I'll be
installing 11.10 tomorrow to see how Gnome 3 works in that.
[11:56] I did a Norton backup
[11:57] and put the backup files to a CD
[11:57] jasef: works fine here ;)
[11:57] but It is just for windows
[11:57] Eliasmaster: do you have any important files in linux?
[11:57] No
[11:57] I'd just hate to loose all my setups for programs
etc.
[11:58] ActionParsnip, Awesome... I can't wait to get home so I
can finish my jigdo download and install it
[11:58] jasef: could just use torrents..
[11:58] Eliasmaster: do you have a ubuntu livecd?
[11:58] damo22: no
[11:58] * Sidewinder1 Is paranoid and has back-ups of back-ups.
[11:58] What is the official repository Ubuntu?
[11:59] Eliasmaster: thats why you occasionally backup
said configs, then you won't lose them is catastrophe strikes
[11:59] What happens if an installed file belonging to a
package is deleted? I mean, does the missing file make apt/dpkg complain
upon upgrade or uninstalls?
[11:59] ActionParsnip: I will know that now on the future
[11:59] sveinse: it will be reinstated next time the
package is updated
[12:00] ActionParsnip, I could, yeah. But I haven't got any ports
forwarded to my netbook, so jigdo works just fine.
[12:00] how does one disable ipv6 for iptables?
[12:00] jasef: torrents work here and the only port
forwarded is the web ui port I use.
[12:00] ActionParsnip, is there a Ubuntu tool to backup all
configs?
[12:00] Eliasmaster: i have 2 external usb hard drives as
separate backups
[12:00] sivik: add the boot option: ipv6.disable=1
[12:01] Hi, i configured my nagios server/client... But i would
like to add some check... is there somewhere a list of nagios services
and also the according command for the nrpe_local.cfg file? i'm looking
for a while
[12:01] What is the official repository of Ubuntu for full
download?
[12:01] plouffe: i use cp in a cron job, the configs are
in the hidden folders in $HOME
[12:01] ActionParsnip, is that for ipv6 or just the iptables for
ipv6?
[12:01] sivik: all ipv6
[12:01] !download | mohsen
[12:01] mohsen: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from
http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download
!Natty, and help keeping the servers' load low!
[12:01] ActionParsnip, some aren't in home though, e.g. Apache
[12:01] So there is to just disable the firewall rules for ipv6
without totally disabling ipv6?
[12:01] ActionParsnip, :P I have got none forwarded, so I'll just
live with jigdo for now, I'm getting about 300kB/s anyway when it's
running
[12:01] mohsen: the source is moot, as long as the file
matches the official hashes, then the source is irrelevant
[12:01] !repository > mohsen
[12:01] mohsen, please see my private message
[12:02] plouffe: then you'd need to add those to your
scope
[12:02] ActionParsnip, I just want to disable the iptables
portion of ipv6 and not ipv6 totally
[12:02] sivik: gotcha
[12:03] hmm i tried different stick but it still doesnt work
[12:03] damo22: I will start reinstalling Ubuntu now, as I
don't have any important files there, it seems the easiest way
[12:04] tried YUMI as well
[12:04] whats wrong with this thing
[12:04] Eliasmaster: thats the easy way, but there might be a
way to recover
[12:05] xxzz: tried usb-creator
[12:05] ActionParsnip, synaptic has an option to keep or delete
configs. Is it possible to use that to also save/backup configs?
[12:05] nope
[12:05] xxzz: and the 1 2 3 application, if you are using
windows
[12:05] plouffe: synaptic only install packages and
updates, so I doubt it
[12:05] ok

use ( kinda like windows explorer looking ) for ssh'ing to my iphone?
[12:06] Eliasmaster: but support from damo22 has finished for

[12:06] fr0sted: ssh can do ssh
[12:06] fr0sted: its in a default install
[12:06] ActionParsnip: ye i know, i mean a gui app
[12:06] any way to disable ip6tables?
[12:07] fr0sted: nautilus can view scp/sftp 'shares'
[12:07] Pici: ye i also thought of this with filezilla, but
cant seem to connect to the iphone
[12:07] ActionParsnip, I didn't mean from synaptic, but making
a config backup tool based on the info that synaptic has should be
possible
[12:07] ActionParsnip, thanks for the link
[12:08] oh nvm, got it, but thanks

[12:14] does ubuntu do some weird shit that makes the file
system case sensitive and not case sensitive at the same time?
[12:15] ethanol: first, please watch your language. second, no
it doesn't, and it doesn't really make sense
[12:16] ethanol: can you give an example of what you mean?
[12:16] well it's weird, cause I am checking for the existence
of files in php (which uses system calls) and I get back true, even when
it does not match casewise
[12:16] it says
/var/www/matthew.admin/INC/Controller/Tools/mysql.php exists, while it is
actually Mysql.php
[12:17] and I'm pretty sure my filesystem is case sensitive,
cause I can create both tmp and TMP in the same folder : did you check if PHP checks case sensitive?

to delete all them at once. Someone can help me? How to delete everything
I instaled from kubuntu?
[12:19] javier_: remove the qt libs and everything kde
will fail deps and be marked for uninstallation

[12:19] javier_: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or
!Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the
instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome
[12:19] so... sudo apt-get remove pt-libs?
[12:19] javier_, or go here
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[12:20] qt, sorry
[12:20] javier_, however the command to remove all of kde is
quite long so get it all if you use that link
[12:20] coz_ I found in google that link, but it didn't work
[12:21] javier_, did you copy the etire command to remove?
[12:21] either, when usind command "sudo aptitude remove
kubuntu-desktop" is not a large list of packages that are removed, but a
few only
[12:21] yes, the complete command
[12:22] how do i disable screensaver permanently? it doesnt seem
to honour the settings in the gui settings page
[12:22] javier_, let me get the entire command and let you see it
hold on
[12:23] javier_: use the command which lists all the packages
or you can do what ActionParsnip suggested.
[12:23] javier_, see if this was the command you used

[12:33] hello usr13 and actionparsnip: Thanks for your help
yesterday I was able to figure it out. So that you guys are aware in case
anyone else runs into this issue... In order for windows to format and
install on a disk that was previously formatted for ubuntu it has to be
the only drive plugged into the system. Strange as it sounds and as
little sense it makes it's the only thing that worked.
[12:33] usr13, thank you very much. I was looking at some
UVC driver compatible webcams. this will help :)
[12:33] [-supNow-: very strange.
[12:34] yes it was I never had that issue in the past...
maybe it's natty?
[12:34] natty don't wanna leave the drive... lol
[12:34] as soon as I unplugged my other drives it loaded with
no issues with only the windoze disk
[12:34] and my ubuntu is happily installed on my other drive!
[12:34] [-supNow-: Sorry, I guess we assumed that you knew that
MS Windows only boots (and installs to) the primary drive. Sorry we
overlooked that issue. .. Will try to remember that next time.
[12:34] kubuntu wasn¡'t removed
[12:35] np you guys were a big help and jumped right on my
issue :0
[12:35] I gotta work but I'm gonna start idling in here as I
plan to be primarily ubuntu and have gotten about 10 people on it
already! :)
[12:36] how to configure TPM on ubuntu 10.04?
[12:37] [-supNow-: We try, but if we don't have specific
information about the hardware and other details, we may go of the track
in advising people. I know I do from time to time. I get the wrong idea
and start chasing the wrong issue.
[12:37] Sorry, now I am trying to get SSH to work again
[12:37] So I can at least work on this from my desk instead of
in a freezing cold server room room

[12:44] slipttees: What exactly are you trying to do?
[12:45] usr13, make usb bootable e install ubuntu on ntebook
[12:46] slipttees: delete the partition and make a FAT16
partition on it, then use the usb-creator, may help
[12:46] ActionParsnip, humm.. i try
[12:46] slipttees: wait, is it an iPod?
[12:46] ActionParsnip, i can use gparted?
[12:46] An inode is a data structure on a traditional Unix-style
file system such as UFS. An inode stores all the information about a
regular file, directory, or other file system object, except its data and
name. When you format a partition, the process assigns just so many
inodes. If you end up with lots and lots of very small files, it's
possible to run out of inodes and it will act as if the drive is full,
but it is really just out of inodes.
[12:47] libapache2-mod-fastcgi or libapache2-mod-fcgid?

to know which one is current :)
[12:56] slipttees: not sure, I don't use apple rubbish
[12:56] :(
[12:57] usr13, but thanks, who will be useful here too ;)
[12:58] So, I ran mount -o remount, /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root /
and that enabled me to have a rw filesystem. When I restart, it goes back
to read-only. So, it can work for now but it won't work for long.
[12:58] apocalyptiq: Well, one way is to estimate the time it may
have been opened, (in relation to the others). (Looking at output of
who)
[12:59] ActionParsnip, apple sucks
[12:59] :S
[12:59] :(
[13:00] hello. Anyone know how to config a Network-
Manager managed usb modem, by sending it some AT commands?
[13:00] apocalyptiq: And also, look at what is after the time.
If is one that is logged into another terminal, it will say so, (and
specify the other's IP or hostname).
[13:01] hi. i am looking for software that shows my gpu
workload. thanks.
[13:01] groundup: Sounds like a hard drive is failing.
[13:02] GunClive: top or htop
[13:03] ahhhhhhh dajhorn
[13:03] no wonder
[13:03] thanks
[13:05] usr13, thanks.

[13:06] Hello! I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, but it is not on
the boot list; I think windows wiped grub. How can I fix it?
[13:06] GunClive: htop is really nice I think.
[13:06] Still with this problem: I installed Digikam but looked
uggly and unfortunatelly instaled kubuntu-desktop to see if it looked
nice. Now I've got hundred of "k" programs, and I don't know who to
delete all them at once. Someone can help me? How to delete everything I
instaled from kubuntu?

[13:07] Hey, thanks, usr13!
[13:07] javier_: can you give a pastebin of the output
of: dpkg -l | grep lib | grep kde
[13:08] wth? every once in a while, especially when an error
occurs, the appearance/theme of gnome switches to what looks like an old-
style 90's layout and I have to manually switch it back. what could cause
this?

[13:09] ActionParsnip: I'm on natty
[13:09] hello. Anyone know how to config a Network-
Manager managed usb modem, by sending it some AT commands?
[13:09] javier_: sudo apt-get --purge remove
http://paste.ubuntu.com/683518/
[13:09] oops
[13:09] javier_: sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs-bin
[13:10] javier_: then run: sudo apt-get --purge
atoremove; sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop
[13:10] autoremove*
[13:10] indeed
[13:10] * ActionParsnip needs food
[13:10] ActionParsnip: any idea?
[13:11] I mean, it's really annoying. all my fonts change, the
icons, the colors.
[13:11] ActionParsnip: I will try that, but the first command I
didn't understand it. Did you mean to write "sudo apt-get --purge remove
http://paste.ubuntu.com/683518/"?
[13:11] javier_: no he did not.
[13:12] hi, is there a STEP viewer on ubuntu?
[13:12] ok, that doesnt make sense :) So, from the other line.
Thanks, it's doing it
[13:13] javier_: leave off the URL Just: sudo apt-get --purge
remove
[13:14] javier_: Actually just: sudo apt-get --purge remove
kdelibs-bin ; sudo apt-get --purge atoremove; sudo apt-get --reinstall
install ubuntu-desktop #Is prolly all you need.
=== dougsko_ is now known as dougsko
[13:15] javier_: But I think he wanted you to do sudo apt-get --
purge remove before and after sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs-bin
#But not sure it is neecessary to do it before.
[13:15] usr13: you copied the autoremove misspelling.
[13:15] javier_: use autoremove instead of atoremove
[13:16] usr13: yes, I also saw that but only after doing sudo
apt-get ... kdelibs-bin. But i't doing it, so I think it's fine like this
[13:16] photon: thanks, i noticed also :)
[13:16] photon: Thanks for the correction
[13:16] np
[13:17] Looking back at it. He may have been wanting you to --
purge all that is in http://paste.ubuntu.com/683518/
[13:18] hi
[13:18] usr13: ammm, maybe...
[13:19] usr13: that would mean to write it manually all the
list?
=== Aurus_ is now known as Aurus
[13:21] usr13: I've done once again "dpkg -l | grep lib | grep
kde" and now it's only 4 files. Do you advise me to remove them=
[13:21] ?
[13:21] which is: kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins kdegraphics-libs-
data kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins kdepimlibs-kio-plugins
libakonadi-kde4 libdebconf-kde0 libkde3support4 libkdecorations4
libkdecore5 libkdegames5a libkdepim4 libkdesu5 libkdeui5 libkdewebkit5
libkworkspace4 libreoffice-kde
[13:22] In other words. I think the first command he wanted you
to do was:
[13:22] sudo apt-get --purge remove kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins
kdegraphics-libs-data kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins
kdepimlibs-kio-plugins libakonadi-kde4 libdebconf-kde0 libkde3support4
libkdecorations4 libkdecore5 libkdegames5a libkdepim4 libkdesu5 libkdeui5
libkdewebkit5 libkworkspace4 libreoffice-kde
[13:22] usr13: no, some different: kdelibs5-data libkdecore5
libkdeui5 libkdewebkit5
[13:23] javier_: Ok, well, I dono
[13:23] usr13: yes, i think you were right. Thanks a lot for
working the command for me
[13:23] javier_: Anyway, you got it.
[13:24] in the end do: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-
desktop
[13:24] Once you've removed all the KDE stuff. Reason being....
kde and gnome don't always play well together
[13:26] Considering KDE and Gnome use entirely separate runtimes
I can't imagine how they would interfere with each other at all...
[13:28] silversurfer
[13:29] hey ppl
[13:30] is there application that records the sound coming
from soundcard?
[13:32] Aurus: Well, I don't know what it is, but I've seen it.
I've had a pure KDE system and instlled gnome and for a while everything
was fine. After a bit things seemed to have gotten mucked up and
couldn't find any logical reason because the only change was adding gnome
and lots of gnome apps.
[13:32] It's done. I removed everything I installed from
kubuntu, except for one thing. When starting and stopping the laptop, I
get kubuntu11.04 blue screen, with those 5 lights that indicate that it's
charging. Algo in closing, kubuntu blue screen. Any idea how to get back
purple ubuntu one?
[13:33] Aurus: Maybe I drew an erroneous assumption
[13:33] where is PATH set?
[13:33] cillo564: if you use pulse-audio you can easily
do that
[13:34] Kartagis: How is it set? Or how do you add to it?
[13:34] hi!
[13:34] can i make ubuntu install the _latest_ version of
something?
[13:34] usr13: how do I add to it?
[13:34] TAndriamirado, how it can be done?
[13:34] usr13: /etc/environment?
[13:35] $PATH with no arguments will tell you what you have now.
[13:36] cillo564: ..or use jackd2 sound daemon: it let
you simply 'connect' apps (and hardwares) so the output of a software (or
soundcard) could be routed to the entry port of any sound recorder app
[13:36] hey guys i need to split a iso file into multiple files
to put on 700mb cds but i have no clue on how to do that
[13:36] PATH=$PATH:/home/user/bin will add /home/user/bin to
your path.
[13:37] Kartagis: I think you need to run export PATH
afterwards
[13:37] hey all. I created a symbolic link and unfrotunately
wasn't thinking and prefecade it with a / I want to delete the link now.
if I rm /linkname will that delete the files that it links to or will it
delete just the link?
[13:37] .. for it to take effect.
[13:37] chriswr: use 'isomaster'
[13:38] jasonmsp: just the link
=== tera_ is now known as Andrew131
[13:38] SIFTU: grazie!
[13:39] TAndriamirado, alright. i was wondering how would i
run the iso if its split up on multiple cds?
[13:40] if i use a mobile broadband isp's usb modem (CDMA)
and my mobile phone providers data plan (3G) together, i will have to
ip's? i want to do it to increase speed when travelling. how does a
program like email, skype, irc, web browsing etc. choose between the two
connections?
[13:42] for some reason when i try it now, it slows things
down
[13:43] Has ubuntu, since 10.10, enabled power management
settings for wireless cards? For mine, I think it's saving power to
aggressively, as when I connect to a wireless network on battery, I
cannot reliably connect from 30 or so feet away in a not-too-dense
location. On battery, there are no problems.
[13:43] hi, what pkg installs /boot/System.map /boot/abi and
/boot/vmcoreinfo
[13:43] I'm running xubuntu now, but on either ubuntu or
xubuntu the problem persists
[13:45] hello, I installed ubuntu server but added xfce
because owner of the server wants to have graphic interface in case he
needed to fix something. How can I change booting so text mode would be
default and xfce was only turned on with "Xorg" commandd?
[13:45] chriswr: this typically depends of the software
that is on the CDs (not sure I understood Ur 2nd question..)
[13:46] Hey guys. I want to make my windows 7 netbook dual boot
with the latest ubuntu. I am downloading the 11.04 and have a usb drive.
[13:46] Any tips/tricks/suggestions?
[13:46] hello, I installed ubuntu server but added xfce
because owner of the server wants to have graphic interface in case he
needed to fix something. How can I change booting so text mode would be
default and xfce was only turned on with "Xorg" commandd?
[13:47] sorry, hand slipped
[13:47] lucenut: just looking at the install guide on
wiki.ubuntu.com :D
[13:47] lucenut: in my case it configured grub
automatically
[13:47] xfce_murderer: just dont start a display manager
[13:48] TAndriamirado, its a copy of a game iso , and to
rephrase that question... once i get the split iso files on the cds would
i just copy and paste the files on the cds onto my other computer? if so
how would i mount the iso since theres so many of them?
[13:48] SIFTU: it turns on on boot, how do I disable it?
[13:48] xfce_murderer: and you are probably thinking of using
"startx"
[13:48] SIFTU: thanks, I'll remember
[13:48] xfce_murderer: update-rc.d
[13:49] I have some m4a audio files that are apple lossless codec,
I think. How do I play those? Audacious cannot handle play them. I guess
I need to install some lib or codec?
[13:50] chriswr: so it fully depends of the game. Most of
them are protected.
[13:50] chriswr, split -d -b 700M file.iso splitfile
[13:50] SIFTU: update-rc.d "???"
[13:51] jussi01: hi :)
[13:51] TAndriamirado, alright ill just try and see
[13:51] I searched bootable usb on the wiki and returned
nothing. Just "usb" returns a bunch of stuff that doesn't seem to be
about a bootable drive.
[13:51] chriswr, cat splitfile* > file.iso
[13:51] xfce_murderer: I think you should digging more in man
upstart and init, it's the first proc start when system startup...
[13:52] chriswr: sorry ;-)) (..and you could try mongy's
tip ;-)
[13:52] tdn: do you have restricted areas cidecs
installed?
[13:52] chriswr, md5sum the before and after just to verify.
works for me fine tho
[13:53] mongy, alright , how would i merge the files back
together once i got them on my other computer?
[13:53] chriswr, see cat
[13:53] mongy, my other computer is windows :/
[13:53] tdn: do you have restricted areas cidecs
installed?
[13:54] lucenut: it doesn't matter if it's from CD or USB
[13:54] chriswr, split -b 700M file.iso splitfile cat
splitfile* > file.iso
[13:54] hi: how to install digikam in gnome? do I need all kde
stall, like dolphin? can't I make it use nautilus?
[13:56] mongy, so the "cat splitfile* > file.iso" works on
windows?
[13:56] chriswr: mount the Windoze partition on Ubuntu and
then merge the files
[13:56] chriswr, oh, I assumed linux
[13:56] im trying to run a backup python script but it
bails out because there is a file called .gvfs in my home directory which
appears to have user = ? group = ?
[13:57] codemagician: Exclude .gvffs
[13:57] .gvfs
[13:57] and trash while you're at it.
[13:57] !trash
[13:57] Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at
~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and
.../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the
device.
[13:57] codemagician: its a special folder, take it out
of the scope
[13:57] ActionParsnip, who created it?
[13:58] Nautilus's automagically mount stuffs.
[13:58] chriswr: or merge the files, then mount the Windoze
partition and copy the merged files to that partition
[13:58] codemagician: its where gvfs mounts shares and
such
[13:58] ActionParsnip, it caused my backups to fail
[13:58] ActionParsnip, because it has no user or group
associated with it
[13:59] why does ubuntu depot still have galileo eclipse instead
a newer one like indigo or even helios ?
[13:59] codemagician: remove the folder from the scope
and you'll be fine
[13:59] ActionParsnip, just rm .gvfs
[13:59] MonkeyDust, the problem im having is that when i try to
mount the iso file on ubuntu it says that theres no files in it and also
its not in iso 9660 , so i used "iat" and it says "image is broken
this image is not CD image"
[13:59] chriswr, could compress it in nautilus 'compress' and use
7z or something to make volumes, then use 7zip in windows to unpack
[13:59] lighta: 'why' is a philosophical question, this is a
technical channel
[13:59] codemagician: no or you will make issues
[13:59] I still can't find where to start on making a bootable
usb stick with 11.04
[13:59] Google brings up things for 8
[13:59] lucenut: it's the same method
[14:00] ActionParsnip, about 10 mins ago ls -l showed
"d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs"
[14:00] I meant technically is there a logical reason like
stability or you like to make user search more ?...
[14:00] ActionParsnip, now it is owned by me in devteam
group
[14:00] join/#als
[14:00] codemagician: its just a container that gvfs uses
to mount stuff, theres no need to back it up and its not technically a
folder, just make your script ignore the folder
[14:00] ActionParsnip, actually ignore that. its still ? ?
[14:01] lucenut: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[14:01] the idiot is here
[14:01] lighta: have you checked launchpad for bug reports against
that package? Perhaps there is a legitimate reason listed there. I
suspect it is because packaging it is a real pain.
[14:01] Could somebody provide a simple script: do some job
when swap usage is above some threshold?
[14:01] codemagician: Yes. You said you have a backup script.
Fix it to exclude few folders.
[14:01] mongy, that sounds like a good idea , if i compress it
with natilius is there somthing i can use on this linux computer to split
the compressed file into multiple volumes? or is 7zip for linux also?
[14:02] xfce_murderer, yes I do.
[14:02] tonysan: you will be using 'free -m' and grepping
and awking til you get the value you want, then performing some logic on
the value
[14:02] xfce_murderer, I have those isntalled.
[14:02] tonysan: Thats not really within the scope of this
channel. Someone in #bash might be able to help you write that, or you'd
more likely be looking for a framework that allows you to create jobs
based on system properties.
[14:02] xfce_murderer, which one should make it work?
=== himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf
[14:02] ActionParsnip: actually it is the grepping and awking
that hinders me ...
[14:02] xfce_murderer, here is dpkg -l |grep codec:
http://paste.adora.dk/P2152.html
[14:03] chriswr, 7zip is available for most if not all
[14:03] ok, I'll switch to another channel, thanks
[14:04] hey,i wanna delete some files , for first time , i just
clicked "delete"key . now they are in the trash
=== Seryth is now known as mang0
[14:04] but when i push empty trash , don't do anything
[14:05] tonysan: USEDSWAP=free -m | tail -n 1 | awk '{
print $3; }'
[14:05] mongy, awesome im sure that will work , should have
thought of it before myself , thanks
[14:05] ActionParsnip: thanks!
[14:05] i hae a root partition and an lvm partition. i
installed mysql and transfer the datadir from /var/lib/mysql to the lvm
partition. when i do a mysql restore, i found out that the / root
partition as well as the lvm partition is growing together. any tips?
[14:05] how do I fix Class PDO not found?
[14:05] tonysan: $3 prints the 3rd value, you can get
free with: $4 and total is $2
[14:06] chriswr, for a command it would be 7z a -v700m -mx=0
file.7z file.iso (if you want no compression, quicker)
[14:06] tonysan: you can then use bash to perform logic
on those values (calculate percentage etc)
[14:06] hmm... how i can add launchers to unity?
[14:06] tsaknorris: drag them from dash is one way
[14:07] ActionParsnip, hmm it didnt work :D
[14:07] anyone can help me,please?
[14:07] i dont want to use firefox and i want to replace it
with chromium
[14:07] tsaknorris: just run chrome, and keep in launcher
will do ;)
[14:07] tsaknorris: apt-get install chromium-browser
[14:07] RamtinA: What is it?
[14:07] tsaknorris: or run the app, when it appears,
right click the icon and select 'keep in launcher'
[14:08] mongy, alright , is there not a gui for 7zip , i just
downloaded it on ubuntu software center
[14:08] Kartagis: Dom you want the #php channel?
[14:08] ah Unity
[14:08] i didnt got any list with right button hmm...
[14:08] chriswr, used in nautilus
[14:08] tsaknorris:just install chromium,ask you for deafult ;)
[14:08] somsip: they told me to ask here
[14:08] usr13: i can't empty my trash :(
[14:08] chriswr, the compression app that is, file-roller
[14:08] tsaknorris: I use chromium, it sits on the bar
just fine
[14:08] chriswr: Use Gnome File-Roller. It's one GUI that will
take care of all archives.
[14:08] RamtinA, i have it already...i just upgraded to this
11.10
[14:08] RamtinA: Why not?
[14:09] tsaknorris: then ask in #ubuntu+1 Oneiric isn't
supported here until it is released
[14:09] RamtinA: Does it give some sort of error?
[14:09] mongy, umm how do i use nautilus exactly? kinda noobish
at this , do i need to install it also or does it come preinstalled on
ubuntu 11.04
[14:09] usr13: Error while deleting.There was an error
deleting Fani.lnk.
[14:09] Kartagis: looks like its a pecl extension on ubuntu,
unless it's been changed to a php5-* package:
http://wiki.kryn.org/How_to_install_php_pdo_debian/ubuntu
[14:09] usr13:Failed to delete the item from the trash
[14:10] ok i will go to read my self...plaah...i only wanted
to know some basic stuff about unity...so forget...i will read it by my
self :)
[14:10] RamtinA: Where is Fani.lnk ?
[14:10] chriswr, the file manager. if you have 7zip installed,
select your file.iso and right click compress, 7z will be an optoin
[14:10] do ISO files compress well?
[14:10] mongy, oh alright cool
[14:10] ActionParsnip, have done , certain ones
[14:10] I doubt it will due to squashfs being used to
store the data on the ubuntu ISO
[14:11] Kartagis: wait - just saw this Update: it looks like
this is a result of PDO moving into the PHP code; don't try to install
PDO using PECL, just skip to the database-specific install (e.g.
pdo_mysql).
[14:11] http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-
configure-unity
[14:11] \o/
[14:11] tsaknorris: well, read the manual is a good idea, I
remember that there is a prog call help on your ubuntu ;)
[14:11] in my flash USB
[14:11] chriswr, if you use terminal you can do this a lot
quicker, with no compression.
[14:11] usr13:in my flash USB
[14:11] somsip: I got it, some pear package upgraded php5-
mysql
[14:11] Kartagis: cool
[14:12] mongy, alright can you walk me through it cause
terminal confuses me to no end
[14:12] somsip: now I need to upgrade PHP
[14:12] this is also cool :)
[14:12] http://maketecheasier.com/8-really-useful-ubuntu-
unity-quicklists/2011/05/07
[14:12] chriswr, open it up then.,
[14:13] Kartagis: I'd read around it first if I were you.
Thatlast "Update:" was from a site suggesting to apt-get purge php-*, and
resintall php-5 before installing PDO
[14:13] chriswr, where is your iso file? at the root of home or
in some other folder
[14:13] RamtinA: find /media/ -name Fani.lnk -type f
[14:14] RamtinA: Where is it?
[14:14] mongy, ive alreaddy cd to that folder , it is in my
downloads folder
[14:14] #join schizo
[14:14] join #schizo
[14:14] mebe: try adding a slash first
[14:14] like this /

[14:15] chriswr, just copy paste this then. 7z a -v700m -mx=0
file.7z file.iso
[14:15] say /join #schizo /join #schizo mongy, alright , do i just make up a name for the
"file.7z"
[14:16] chriswr, yeah
[14:17] RamtinA: find /media/ -name Fani.lnk
[14:18] show us the output of ^^^
[14:18] mongy, alright , is that all i need to do , and itll
split it up into volumes for me in 7z format?
[14:18] usr13: I find that
[14:18] RamtinA: Where?
[14:18] debian-eeepc
[14:18] show us
[14:18] sorry
[14:19] chriswr, yes. then use yzip on windows to extract, using
the first in the set
[14:19] 7zip*
[14:19] RamtinA: Just delete it then. Right?
[14:19] usr13: your mind is find that file?i just find
/media/Ramtin (my USB) and there isn't my file (fani.lnk)anymore
[14:20] chriswr, download 7zip now and stick it on the lsat cd
[14:20] usr13: that's in trash

[14:30] hello, i have this issue in ubuntu 10.10
[14:30] abuntu: What's your ubuntu ver?
[14:30] lubuntu
[14:30] when i'm playing minecraft and i left/right
click, it loses the focus of the window, but i regain it after some few
milliseconds
[14:31] this however causes a pretty annoying lag
[14:31] is there a fix for it?
[14:31] latest lubuntu 11.xx
[14:31] abuntu: release number?
[14:31] 128mb sdram, 750mhz AMD Duron, Nvidia GeForce 200 -
32mb vram, 10gb hdd. Any sugestion for what distribution of ubuntu linux?
I tried lubuntu 10.10, lubuntu 11.04, mint linux, puppy linux and
BrunoPup and always had a problem while instaling. Any suggestions?
PlEASE!
[14:32] ActionParsnip, I managed parted magic usb to boot netbook,
now I see 2 partitions but cant fingure out partition type. During power
on without usb i see ASUS assistance and stuff so I guess they are using
1 partition or 2 partions. My plan is to install windows, freebsd and
Ubuntu on 250 gig but I will need 2 primary partitions for windows &
FreeBSD and 1 logical for Ubuntu. How do I find...
[14:32] ...out what two primary partitions are ( need to know
type). fdisk says hidden partitions and nothing more
[14:32] hi, what pkg installs /boot/System.map /boot/abi and
/boot/vmcoreinfo thank you
[14:32] xxzz: gparted should show file system
[14:32] any fix for my issue as i decribed above?

version)
[14:33] ActionParsnip, k will check
[14:33] noobie3: lubuntu or tinycore will make a slick
desktop
[14:33] noobie3: be sure you MD5 test the ISO you
download. In Ubuntu you may need to blacklist the nouveau driver with
bootoption
[14:34] howto get Vbios dump? lvds for example?
[14:34] Ramtina: 11.04 sorry for the delay
[14:34] ActionParsnip: what version of lubuntu? I tried with
lubuntu 10.10 and i couldn't manage to install it
[14:34] RamtinA: Close nautilus and run it as super-user and try
again. gksudo nautilus

computer
[14:35] hi
[14:35] i was given some instructions on what needs to be done
to execute my script: "Any directories en route to the script would also
need to at least the "I" set." what do they mean by "I"?
[14:35] noobie3: the latest version has very little extra
requirements over the older ones
[14:35] please, howto get dump my video card?
[14:36] usr13: i can't delete any file yet
[14:36] lvds,vga and hmdi ports
[14:36] ?
[14:36] hi im running lubuntu 11.04 and reboot doens't work but
shutdown does
[14:36] abuntu: what happens on reboot?
[14:36] RamtinA: Open a terminal and type ls -l and pastebin
what it says.
[14:37] ActionParsnip: It looks like X is breaking up
[14:37] i'll ask again then, my minecraft client loses
focus for a split second when i left or right click, and this causes a
slight lag. any idea on how to resolve it? (ubuntu 10.10)
[14:37] Hello
[14:37] My Ubuntu trashed when I tried to install Links web
browser from the Software Center
[14:37] abuntu: is the system a laptop?
[14:37] RamtinA: And paste the URL here.
[14:37] let us look and see

[14:38] abuntu: are there any bugs reported for that
model?
[14:38] usr13:http://pastebin.com/HhX70rNF
[14:38] now the computer reacts very slow and windows
sometimes dont redraw
[14:38] or take ages to redraw
[14:38] ActionParsnip: I'll check
[14:38] how do I make Ubuntu responsive again?
[14:38] i'll ask again then, my minecraft client loses
focus for a split second when i left or right click, and this causes a
slight lag. any idea on how to resolve it? (ubuntu 10.10)
[14:38] what is latest stable version of lubuntu?
[14:39] noobie3: natty
[14:40] OK this is not possible
[14:40] has anyone here had any problems with synaptics
touchpads. the mouse cursor wiggles when my finger is resting still
[14:40] Ubuntu already screwed up 2 times without a reason and
is very slow
[14:40] I am going to swap back the disk with Debian

[14:40] ActionParsnip: Well there are reports of not being able
to awake from sleep etc.. so i guess so
[14:41] ActionParsnip : I already tried that version...i had
problems with instalation...
[14:41] TehAndrewRyan: are you using desktop effects
(compiz)?
[14:41] noobie3: what happens when you try?
[14:41] ActionParsnip: well, i haven't done any changes,
and on visual effects it's set to "Normal"
[14:41] ActionParsnip: Yes it seems to be a known problem with
Toshiba Satellites, ty
[14:42] are you using 32 bit or 64 bit lubuntu, noobie?
[14:42] ActionParsnip: i only get this with a custom
client, the regular one doesn't get affected (even though the mouse
pointer still flashes)
[14:42] TehAndrewRyan: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --
replace this will disable effects, then try the game

[14:42] RamtinA: gksudo nautilus #Didn't work for you?
[14:42] ActionParsnip: I had black screen after some part of
instalation, wait to see if there is photo of that
[14:42] Is internet dj console still in the repos ?
[14:42] noobie3: yes, add the boot option:
nouveau.blacklist=1
[14:43] ActionParsnip: the first thing that happened is
that my dock (docky)m ade the whole lower half of the screen black
[14:43] how to do that? :S
[14:43] ActionParsnip: then it tells me it needs
compositing to work properly
[14:43] TehAndrewRyan: yes, docky needs compositing
[14:43] TehAndrewRyan: try the game
[14:43] usr13: work but i can't delete file
[14:43] ActionParsnip: still lag

cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash
screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to
use this parameter
[14:45] ubottu: thanks..i will try that now..
[14:45] noobie3: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm
intelligent :)
[14:45] ActionParsnip: i still get the same issue with

[14:46] TehAndrewRyan: ok press ALT+F2 and run: compiz -

[14:52] I am installing 11.04 on my HP mini alongside windows
7.
[14:52] And show us...
[14:52] I am at the screen called "Allocate drive space" and
confused.
[14:52] It shows 4 things under "devices" like /dev/sda...
[14:53] lucenut: each one is a partition
[14:53] lucenut: /dev/sda is one of your hdds
[14:53] usr13: that's just in the trash
[14:53] Device for boot loader installation has /dev/sda ATA
Toshiba MK2556GS (250.1 GB) selected.
[14:53] lucenut: and one or more of those you will want to
resize, (make smaller), in order to get enough free space to install
Ubuntu.
[14:54] I didn't know what to do so I just hit "Install Now"
but it says "No root file system is defined"
[14:54] RamtinA: Did you find it yet?
[14:54] RamtinA: Did you find the path to the file?
[14:54] OK, so if I choose "Edit" on the 250G partition...
[14:55] It says "Use as"?
[14:55] ActionParsnip, got a good theme for lubuntu? I cant seem
to find a decent one...I prefer dark styles
[14:55] ActionParsnip, gparted doesnt detect filesystem
[14:55] Should I choose Fat32 file system?
[14:55] You can resize this later also right?
[14:56] lucenut: You have to make room for the new Linux install.
If you want to delete all that is there, tell it to use entire disk. If
you want to do Dual Boot, resize the MS Windows partition so a smaller
size, maybe half, (depending on how much data you have in it).
[14:56] lucenut: you should make everything for ubuntu ext4 ( or
swap )
[14:56] lucenut: use as is something like / or swap or /home
[14:56] lucenut: You will probably need to resize yes, unless
you have unallocated space on the drive already
[14:57] How do you resize?
[14:57] I selected swap and clicked OK.
[14:57] lucenut: Look at how much free space you have and decide
how to allocte for Linux. Or tell us how much free space you come up with
and we will help you decide. Or, you can let the installer do the
automatic allocation.
[14:58] There is ~ 198G free of 250 according to windows.
[14:58] when trying to intsall lubuntu 11.4 i get this error
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/12314124.jpg/
[14:58] any help? :(
[14:58] I don't understand this UI though.
[14:58] lucenut: That is plenty, use the 198G of free space.
[14:58] lucenut: Free space in windows means NTFS partition
space that is not filled with files / folder. Free in this installer
means this part of the drive is not a partition at all.
[14:58] OK, I wasn't asked anything about size/space.
[14:58] lucenut: The fact that windows reports 198Gb free means
that you can shrink the windows ntfs partition.
[14:58] lucenut: And let ubuntu automatically decide and re-
partition for itself.
[14:59] I chose "swap" and hit OK.
[14:59] usr13: He can learn if he wants to
[14:59] lucenut: also you probably have more than 1 'windows'
partition windows 7 usually has like 4
[14:59] Now in here it shows the 250G partition as Type=swap.
[14:59] lucenut: Look at the available options and think about
it.
[14:59] lucenut: 1 repair partition, 1 boot partition, and one
actual windows data partition is very common
[15:00] lucenut: How much ram do you have?
[15:00] lucenut: You only need about 3 or 4G for swap
[15:00] Hey, I have a problem. When I'm building program from
a source it is later asking me for a lot of files in directories like
/etc /var etc. How can I install it, so it would be like from synaptics?
[15:00] usr13: my computer restarted
[15:00] Right, there is a ntfs 35MB and a fat16 33MB
[15:00] lucenut: (that's almost definitely waaaay to much swap
[15:00] como extract bios dump on ubuntu?
[15:00] I didn't mention them because I didn't think they were
important.
[15:01] lucenut: fat16 33Mb? lucenut: You are correct, those are not important, you
can just leave them as is.
[15:01] OK, I highlighted the 250G and clicked "Revert" and now
instead of swap it says it's ntfs.
[15:01] lucenut: Be careful here. It is rather easy to erase
your entire windows OS at this stage of the installer.
[15:01] That is why I am asking questions.
[15:01] lucenut: How much RAM does this PC have?
[15:02] http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/12314124.jpg/
lucenut: just a warning :)
[15:02] 1G, and that is the max for it.
[15:02] noobie3: It's a kernel panic
[15:02] lucenut: Then your swap should be 1Gb, what's the max
for what?
[15:02] Hey, I have a problem. When I'm building program from
a source it is later asking me for a lot of files in directories like
/etc /var etc. How can I install it, so it would be like from synaptics?
[15:02] i could read that by myself :) anything else
[15:02] lucenut: Then 1 or 2G of swap is fine.
[15:02] So here I am again at the Allocate drive space screen.
What do I do?
[15:02] my ram is 512MB , and 58%of that is in use .and just my
pidgin is run :D . is it fine?
[15:03] Where do I "get" that swap space?
[15:03] noobie3: They're usually very hard to figure out.
Typically they're caused by bad hardware (unless you're using the nightly
build kernel)
[15:03] hi since using ubuntu 11.04, Nautilus no longer
autocompletes in the location bar when SSH'd into a server; any ideas?
[15:03] lucenut: You create a partition that is type swap on the
drive
[15:03] RamtinA: probably find most is use by disk
caching
[15:03] mpd is not used to stream music correct?
[15:03] RamtinA: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[15:03] So do I take some space from the 250G ntfs?
[15:03] lucenut: You do that by shrinking partitions until you
have some unallocated space, then you right click the unallocated space
and create a new (swap) partition that is 1Gb big (1024Mb)
=== slipttees is now known as Hackintosh_BR_al
=== Hackintosh_BR_al is now known as Hackintosh_BR_FV
[15:04] RamtinA: as long as you have free RAM left you don't
need to pay attention to it
[15:04] OK, how do I "shrink" a partition?
[15:04] lucenut: You have to take space from some partition
probably yes
[15:04] ActionParsnip: yes it has been written before,
however if i F11 the window i don't get that problem
[15:04] lucenut: right click it and choose resize
[15:04] lucenut: If it has a key / lock or a red ! then you
won't be able to
[15:04] There is no right-clicking on this installer screen.
[15:04] RamtinA: and most of the time you don't need to even
when you have no free RAM left :)
[15:04] is there a setting i can edit to repair a shaky
mouse cursor
[15:05] RamtinA: though with only 0.5GB you can run out if you
run too many apps at the same time
[15:05] I can highlight the 250G partition and click the "edit"
button.
[15:05] lucenut: then highlight one of the partitions on the
drive and use the resize button (perhaps it's called edit in the
installer)
[15:05] hello...
[15:05] I mean "Change" the button is labelled.
[15:05] lucenut: You are confusing me. Your hdd is 250Gb total
right?
[15:05] Yes
[15:05] lucenut: You should have at least 1 partition that is =
or technoviking: what desktop environment do you
use?
[15:06] Yes, /dev/sda2 ntfs 2498843
[15:06] hi
[15:06] I can highlight it and click "Change".
[15:06] lucenut: So use about half of that one.
[15:07] I don't know how to "use" it. :-(
[15:07] lucenut: so you want to be editing these partitions (not
the entire 250Gb drive) the partitions each are not 250Gb so don't say
things like 'I'm selecting 250Gb and resizing' cause that's not true
right?
[15:07] how to check infomation about USB3G on ubuntu?
[15:07] When I click "Change" I get a dialog that asks "Use
As".
[15:07] Chousuke: ok that's fine . but my computer crash around
every 18 min . and i can't run rhythmbox and Firefox together
[15:07] lucenut: Resize
[15:07] not change
[15:08] OK, the 249843 partition.
[15:08] i just installed ubuntu desktop, but then i don't know
what to do with it. what i should do to use it as production for digital
image editing?
[15:08] :D
[15:08] usr13: In the installer it's called edit / change
[15:08] I thought 250 was a good round for that.
[15:08] gabyy: you can use gimp and/or inkscape to edit
digital picture
[15:08] There is nothing on this Allocate Drive Space screen
saying "resize" anywhere.
[15:08] lucenut: it's close but it is confusing because 250Gb
would imply you're editing the entire drive (which you're not). If you
did you would be erasing windows completely.
[15:09] ActionParsnip: wtf i'm stuck, i alt+f4'ed
spoutcraft, and now my entire primary monitor is white
[15:09] lucenut: PM me?
[15:09] is there no photoshop for ubuntu.
[15:09] ActionParsnip: i can't open a terminal, nor
alt+tab to change window
[15:09] !gimp
[15:09] gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for
Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information.
[15:09] gabyy: That's linux alternative of photoshop, gimp.
[15:09] Oh ok. lucenut As edbian points out, the option is edit /
change. You want to resize the parttion, (shrink it to a smaller size).
[15:09] gabyy: you can install photoshop via wine or
playonlinux, but I dont recommend that
[15:10] hi can someone please tell me what pkg. installs
/boot/System.map /boot/abi and /boot/vmcoreinfo files
[15:10] okay, think i'm gonna give it a try. is it in the apt?
[15:10] usr13. I highlight the 249843 partition and click
"Change" and get an "Edit a partition" dialog. Nothing about resizing
here.
[15:10] gabyy: yes, try finding it on Ubuntu software center
[15:10] thanks all.
[15:10] ^_^
[15:11] lucenut: If you fish around there, you should find out
how to resize (shrink) the largest partion in order to create enough free
space for the Linux install.
[15:11] gabyy: there isn't photoshop.but you can use gimp
[15:12] lucenut: Have you already allocated some space for swap ?
[15:12] No!
[15:12] I set the 249843 to swap and was told that was wrong.
[15:12] So I reverted it back.
[15:12] guys, I have got a LONG flight coming up in a couple of
hours.. anyone recommend any addictive games I can play on my laptop that
will eat up some hours ? :)
[15:13] anyone? I have this fracked up install here and
obviously some files are missing from the boot. I like to fix this
[15:13] Kingsy: read a book
[15:13] EskimoBob: reading a book is hardly a game :P
[15:13] lucenut: Ok, well as I said, if you fish around there on
that screen, you should find out how to set aside some free space for the
linux install. Shrinking the largest partition is basically what you are
going to do.
[15:13] Kingsy: read a good book and it better than a game
[15:13] ....
[15:14] RamtinA: okkie dookie. let me familiarize myself with
gimp. thanks
[15:14] am I on the wrong channel?
[15:14] EskimoBob: I think so yes
[15:15] EskimoBob: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, if
you're looking for that, then you're in the right channel.
[15:15] so where can I get the answer to my question? what
*buntu pkg. installs /boot/System.map /boot/abi and /boot/vmcoreinfo
files
[15:15] lucenut: Choose that largest partition, right-click on
it, and you should come up with a context menu that offers resize as an
option.
[15:15] Pici: this is exactly what I am looking for :)
[15:16] usr13 there is no context menu right-click in this
installer screen.
[15:16] hai. i has a problem. i'm trying to install ubuntu on a
netbook with a 1024x600 screen resolution and none of the install dialogs
fit on the screen so i can't select OK or BACK etc... i wanted to try the
ubuntu netbook remix, but its been replaced now with regular ubuntu...
but how am i supposed to install it if i can't even fit the dialog boxes
on screen ?
[15:16] gabyy: ok . myself do graphic and work with gimp a
little ;)
[15:17] EskimoBob: I believe that gets copied there in the kernel
post-install tasks
=== matthew is now known as Guest41919
[15:17] EskimoBob: in general, try "dpkg -S ". the
files you're asking about are part of the kernel package, of course.
[15:18] EskimoBob: linux-image-
[15:18] usr13: He's NOT using gparted

"too many files open in system" does this mean my hardware doesnt support
mac spoofing?
[15:18] Hey guys. ive just installed Ubuntu Natty and I was
wondering... how could I add a background to the grub (i dont know if
what I have installed is grub, grub2 or whatever :S)
[15:19] pawz: hold alt + drag the installation windows up with
your mouse or touchpad
[15:19] pawz: you should see the buttons
[15:19] ^_^
[15:19] dbugger: just copy it to /boot/grub and run update-
grub
[15:20] RamtinA : what else you use other than gimp?
[15:20] Stanley00, I think I already did that, and didnt work,
but Ill give it another run

[15:21] gabyy: for pixel 2d just that.
[15:21] dbugger : it should be grub2
[15:22] gabyy: but i have Windows just for photoshop
[15:22] and for 3d?

http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/10.04/?q=snes
[15:26] dbugger: what's the size of your image?
[15:26] Afternoon
[15:26] 640x480
[15:26] Kingsy, its not for 64bit. if you want you can force
install the 32bit, you need ia32-libs installed. Ive done it, works ...
[15:27] Kingsy: alternatively: sudo add-apt-repository
ppa:smaxein/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install zsnes; sudo
apt-get -f install
[15:27] gabyy: that's good software
[15:27] hello
[15:27] dbugger: hmm, is that also the size vbeinfo give you
on grub console?

[15:29] hello
[15:29] Stanley00, aha... and then?
[15:30] i need help to portforward in ubunut... i dont have a
router and Im uusing a publice wifi... and i have port mapper.jar
[15:30] dbugger: I dont know, just try to figure out why it's
not working...
[15:30] any one can help?
[15:30] Stanley00, ok thanks
[15:31] is that size allright for a grub bg?
[15:31] neo_: do torrents not 'just work' decent routers
support upnp
[15:31] any one
[15:32] dbugger: I dont know either, it's just say that the
image size must match the grub sreen size
[15:32] neo_: You don't need to port forward on your system. You
just need to open that port in your firewall. Port forwarding needs to be
done on routers to forward incoming data on a port to an address behind
the router.
[15:32] how?
[15:33] neo_: have you ever set any rules on your PCs
local firewall?
[15:33] hello
[15:33] polah, thats what i wan ti do
[15:33] cann i make a dist-upgrade von debian 5.0 (lenny) to
10.04?
[15:33] neo_: Yes, you need access to the router for that.
[15:34] dbugger: and one thing more, did the update-grub
recognize the image? did it say something like "Found background image:
files.jpg" ?
[15:34] dob__: No. You can't just move across different
distributions of Ubuntu.

[15:35] this question is in fact about skype. But
relates to Pulseaudio. I want to disable the audio alerts, but see no

[15:36] im checking payloads over the internet
[15:36] Is there somewhere else I can turn skype down?
[15:36] ActionParsnip: Yes i know, but we changed our default
server distri to ubuntu last year....
[15:36] how t get torrrenting? use a torrent software?

[15:40] usr13: im trying to make bttv driver (video 4 linux)
[15:41] ubun: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[15:41] is there anything for optimize ubuntu?
[15:41] usr13: ive tried that. but let me try again
[15:42] RamtinA: optmize in what way? theres various
tweaks.. but not really doing a lot if any optmizations. :)
[15:42] RamtinA: running a local dns and configuring
network manager to use it, like dnsmasq can make the web faster
[15:42] livingdaylight: In skype's configuration menus there is
an option to let skype contol audio levels, disable it.
[15:42] ActionParsnip: my computer is very slow
[15:42] usr13, do you know where exactly, I dug around
and couldn't find anything relevant
[15:43] RamtinA: use LXDE instead of gnome
[15:43] RamtinA: uses fewer resources :)
[15:43] ActionParsnip: thanks
[15:43] RamtinA: what are your system specs?
[15:44] livingdaylight: options -> sound devices
[15:44] k
[15:45] livingdaylight: But why change it. If it is turned down
too low, you won't hear the incoming call if you are in another room of
the house.
[15:45] Dr_Willis: CPU 2 , RAm 512 ,
[15:45] 2?
[15:45] livingdaylight: Is it really that much louder?
[15:45] usr13, ok, and disable "Allow Skype to
automatically adjust my mixer levels" ? Will that switch off all sound
including phone ringing or just the chat notification sounds on multiple
windows which is driving me nuts
[15:46] I have seen a lot of network traffic across my wifi
interface in the last week and think my 10.10 install might have been
infected/compromised. Is there a way to check this?
=== sgoyal is now known as sonalgoyal
[15:46] livingdaylight: Oh no. I don't think so. Look for
another set of options
[15:46] RamtinA: ram is your major bottleneck i imagine... i
would dig into the bargin bin sites and trash cans :) and find moar ram..
lxde/lubuntu would be the way to go with that low of ram.
[15:46] livingdaylight: from what I get with that, that adjusts
your microphone slider up if you're quiet, and down if it's loud.

[15:46] wynn: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux.

samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus

[15:47] I'm trying to find old packages, specifically eucalyptus-
cc 2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.1, but I don't know where to look. This is a
standard ubuntu maverick package. I can find the current version on the

Thanks.
[15:47] livingdaylight: Options -> Notifications
[15:47] (I need to roll back a broken update)
[15:48] hi i'm newbi here
[15:48] Virus is the only thing that makes sense (probably because
I don't know a lot about the inner workings of linux)
[15:48] Dr_Willis: ok thanks but i like gnome :(
[15:48] wynn: you could fire up wireshark and look at the traffic.
What made you notice the extra traffic?
[15:48] does anybody know how to configure fingerprint
authentication on ubuntu?
[15:49] roue: ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
[15:50] wynn: You may have a virus on a windows box, but not on
Linux.
[15:50] hook: I'm on it. I didn't realize they made it for
linux... my bad. :)
[15:50] usr13 I don't want th elist of files in each install, I'd
like to find .debs for the older versions.
[15:50] wynn: alternatively, I see some articles online about some
software called 'darkstat' which does similar things
[15:51] roue: Now what exactly are you trying to do?
[15:51] the zoom desktop effect of ubuntu 11.04 is not as good
as 10.10, for instance, once I do a zoom, I can't move anymore the screen
[15:51] RamtinA: you will either want more ram.. or will
have to deal with a slow system then.
[15:51] Well, my gf's win7 box is acting crazy and thought it may
be trying to spread itself over the lan... but when I powered my pc down
it seemed to clear up a lot of network traffic...
[15:52] why did it change ? how to set it back like before ?
[15:52] Dr_Willis: i know thank you so much :)
[15:53] help! inserted a microsd card via sd card
adapter into my thinkpad t420 running 11.04 ubuntu. nothing happens and
i'd like my photos! how can i fix?

state. I have the list of the previous versions from /var/log/apt/ and I
can apt-get install package=version, but it reports it can not find the
previous version any longer. I'd like to find those files.
[15:54] hi, what is a good and simple to install ldap browser? I
just need to see how "granular" it is...
[15:54] my ldap tree that is
[15:54] so the .deb for eucalyptus-cc-2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.1
[15:54] arooni-mobile__, check, if the card was recognized by
looking at "dmesg" or "sudo fdisk -l"
[15:55] rumpe1, its not seen
[15:55] roue: what version of Ubuntu do you have? (what is the
output of lsb_release -a )
[15:56] roue: lsb_release -sc
[15:56] rumpe1, does that mean the reader is broken?
[15:57] wynn: Apparently there's a 'nethogs' package that can
help, too
[15:58] roue: Tell us the output of: lsb_release -sc
[15:58] arooni-mobile__, plug it in and try lsusb
[15:58] wynn: also, iftop, (iftop -i wlan0 -B
[15:58] )
[15:58] arooni-mobile__, not necessarily. Maybe just an
incompatibility
[15:59] rumpe1, Bus 002 Device 005: ID 17ef:1003 Lenovo
Integrated Smart Card Reader is listed
[15:59] Ah, is it built in. I believe there's typically problems
with those, you may be able to find drivers for it (if you don't have
them already)?
[15:59] arooni-mobile__, then it's the card. Maybe try different
usb-ports and watch "tail -f syslog"
[16:00] rumpe1, its built in i cant move it to
different usb ports
[16:00] arooni-mobile__, erm... i meant "tail -f
/var/log/syslog"
[16:00] arooni-mobile__, do you have another reader somewhere?
... or put /var/log/syslog in a pastebin so i can have a look
[16:01] ive seen built in card readers that are not USB.
[16:01] rumpe1, tailing syslog shows nothing when the
card is plugged in
[16:01] i have suspicions it might be the micro sd =>
sd card adapter
[16:01] as i know other sd cards have worked with this
[16:01] without drivers etc
[16:01] arooni-mobile__, have you tried with another card?
[16:02] arooni-mobile__: you may want to check the forums
for that exact make laptop. Often theres some kernel options needed for
some special cases.
[16:02] Polah,
http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201102-7230:201102-7315
[16:02] arooni-mobile__: ive also seen some cases where the
card Must be inserted at boot time. or else the system cant see/access
it.. (which is annoying, but thats how my netbook is)
[16:02] Dr_Willis, rather
[16:03] Polah, i will try with another card
[16:03] it says out of the box works here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1748475
[16:03] hook: thanks for the references. I'm going to look at the
network traffic.
[16:03] arooni-mobile__: tail -f /var/log/messages
[16:03] hello
[16:03] there are no /var/log/messages
[16:03] arooni-mobile__: You are not plugging a 'sdhc' card
into a normal 'sd' slot are you? saw that issue once. :)
[16:04] ghj
[16:04] I just installed luma, the ldap reader, and suddenly the
whole desktop went unresponsive, with only a mouse prompt, then it
rebooted, after I hit the right alt-sysreq magic key, and then came up
with a completely new gtk look before crashing again when I ran luma
again...
[16:04] Dr_Willis, i'm plugging in a microsd hc card
into a microsd to sd adapter
[16:04] what is so terrible about that ldap browser?
[16:04] usr13 it's maverick
[16:04] hook: are you good with wireshark?
[16:04] hi, I just installed kde and I can't mount anything, I get
permission denied errors (even after giving my password), can you help?
[16:04] (was off in another window, sorry)
[16:05] arooni-mobile__: ive seen where a 'sdhc' (high
capacity) card wont work on an older 'sd' slot. how big is the card?
[16:05] Dr_Willis, 16gb
[16:05] arooni-mobile__: be sure the slot says its a sdhc
slot perhaps? in system specs or printed on teh pc somewhere.
[16:05] Dr_Willis, slot reader should support it
according to The multi-card reader only supports SD and SDHC cards with
Ubuntu 10.10.
[16:06] Just checking all the things ive seen go wrong in the
past. :)
[16:06] Hey, I have a problem. When I'm building program from
a source it is later asking me for a lot of files in directories like
/etc /var etc. How can I install it, so it would have files in all these
places, like from synaptics?
[16:07] roue: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick-updates/
[16:07] Dr_Willis, i think its the fault of the adatper
[16:07] chmielsen: when you do the 'sudo make install' it
normally copies the stuff where needed... theres also ways to build a
.deb from your compiled stuff. which is a neater way of doing things.
[16:08] arooni-mobile__: could be. I got a little mini-usb
adaptor i always use for my micro sd cards these days. i rarely use a
microsd-sd adaptor
[16:08] Dr_Willis, what do you mean mini-usb adaptor
[16:09] hello, i cant see the top toolbar in any of my ubuntu
(11.04) windows, what is wrong?
[16:09] arooni-mobile__: its a litlte plug about the size of
the end of your pinky. :) microsd plugs into it.. it has a usb plug on
the other end.
[16:09] arooni-mobile__: cost me like $5 on amazon.com
[16:09] RA_drc: I think it just stays hidden until you move the
mouse up there.
[16:10] i've added a network drive to fstab, the box fails to boot
if the network isn't connected is there an option to keep this from
happening
[16:10] global menu hides till pointer is on it.
[16:10] usr13: that's not the case, i've moved my mouse up
there, and nothing shows up
[16:10] Dr_Willis, what would you recommend?
[16:10] m4xx: the noauto option will stop it from auto
mounting..
[16:10] m4xx: and the user option would let the user mount
it when they wanted to.
[16:11] usr13 that seems to have eucalyptus-cc (2.0+bzr1241-
0ubuntu4.2) but I'm looking for eucalyptus-cc (2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.1)
(not the trailing 1 instead of 2)
[16:11] arooni-mobile__: I always use that usb adaptor for
mine. it always works. :)
[16:11] m4xx: pastebinit /etc/fstab #Send resultin URL. Let us
have a look.
[16:11] Dr_Willis: i'm not talking about the global menu, i'm
taking about the menu bar for individual applications - i.e., the *top*
toolbar like i mentioned earlier. whether i'm using the calculator,
terminal, or document viewer, there is no top menubar available
[16:11] RA_drc: if the global menu thing some how crashed..
they may not be showing.
[16:11] gimme a sec, lemme try to get it connected to the network
[16:11] Dr_Willis: how could i restart it
[16:12] RA_drc: not sure :) log out/back in perhaps?

[16:12] Dr_Willis: and what do you mean by global menu thing?
there's a bar on the left hand side of the screen, and that's working
fine
[16:13] RA_drc: the left side thing is the panel. In unity
all the 'menus' are not in th eprograms windows any more. but in the top
panel.
[16:13] Polah: i have no way of dragging/minimizing individual
windows
[16:14] sounds like your settings maybe all messed up
[16:14] Dr_Willis: on top of the individual window, not the top
of the screen
[16:14] Ra_drc: Do you have a border on the windows?
[16:14] RA_drc: Alt-left-mouse-button
[16:14] usr13 thanks much

the upper panel. thats the point of the global menu.
[16:16] heres some videos of it.. and how to disable it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmmRKrmKc2o
[16:17] Hmm. lots of videos there.. :)
[16:17] RA_drc: You have the contents of the windows but no bar
on top with an exit button or suchlike, or a border? Sounds like your
window manager isn't functioning.
[16:17] hook: to answer your previous question (that I just saw) I
found the network traffic from the wifi light flashing all the time, with
no net apps running an no apparent net process running...
[16:17] Dr_Willis: the global menu is working fine, it's just
that there are no bars on top of the individual windows like there
normally would be
[16:17] Polah: that's exactly my problem
[16:17] RA_drc: you mean the window title bar then....
[16:18] RA_drc: run 'compiz --replace' if its the
title/decorations that are mising. :) or 'metacity --replace'
[16:18] compiz must have crashed.
[16:19] hello, is there any library for ARP? for example, a

[16:20] valthyx, ldd /usr/sbin/arp
[16:20] Hello, ne1 using mcxv with r600 DRI drivers?
[16:20] mesa?
[16:20] valthyx, is that what you meant?
[16:21] tmus, no, i means something like, a library where i
could perform numerous ARP operations like gratuitos arp, arp lookup and
so on
[16:21] Dr_Willis: no, i meant exactly what i said, not what you
thought i meant. always and exactly.
[16:21] hello, I have the gst-keyboard-xkb id:805747 bug and I
cannot fix it, any ideas?
[16:21] valthyx: pcap
[16:21] Dr_Willis: but what you suggested worked, so thanks
[16:22] cheako, is it similar to winpcap?
[16:22] should let you build and use custom packates, yeah.
[16:22] valthyx, that *might* be the vdso library, but I'm not
really sure...
[16:22] Great... I think Ubuntu's killing my battery
[16:23] RobinJ, did you just come from windows?
[16:23] RA_drc: the 'menubar' is not the 'title bar'
[16:23] the battery's capacity is only 36% left, 2 days ago it
was stil 60%
[16:23] valthyx, as far as i know, vdso provides some hooks into
the kernel - which might be able to help here...
[16:23] gentoo-intel: no windblows here
[16:23] how can i set it up so users don't have access to list
files in other peoples home folders?
[16:23] RobinJ, i was only going to say that newer kernels
seem to use much more battery
[16:23] i am not sure if winpcap could really craft custom
packets, as far as i know, they are used for sniffing
[16:23] gentoo-intel: and i mean the total energy it holds when
fully charged, not just how much it's charged
[16:24] bbl off to the dr office.
[16:24] RobinJ: 2.6.38 kernel has known power issues, not sure if
they've been patched or anything.
[16:24] tmus, ok, will check that out
[16:24] hi
[16:24] Polah, nope kernels > 3 are even worse
[16:24] Polah: not talking here about a battery wich drains
quickly on ubuntu, i mean the actual hardware
[16:25] RobinJ power regression is not fixed in 3.1 kernel
also. you have to w8 more
[16:25] There is a tool which compile python script like python2exe
?
[16:25] its maximum capacity
[16:25] alex__c2022: is "power regression" supposed to KILL MY
BATTERY?
[16:25] IN 2 DAYS TIME?
[16:25] valthyx: forge.happypacket.com
[16:25] it takes 2 hours to charge and only 20 to discharge
[16:26] python2exe for windows which is for Linux(Ubuntu) please?
[16:26] in the beginning it was the other way around
[16:26] hi all, where should I ask questions about cross
compilation on ubuntu?
[16:26] do0, "python"?
[16:26] cheako, will check that out
[16:26] RobinJ: You just said you thought Ubuntu was killing. If
it's your hardware then it's not Ubuntu unless it's being misused.

more information, and thanks :)
[16:36] i'm mostly just surprised that a single program could
cause the os to crash hard enough to require having to log in again
[16:36] perhaps that's naive
[16:37] how can i set it up so users don't have access to list
files in other users home directories?
[16:37] Escherial: try the rename

of compiz, I have 11.04, but, as you may imagine, I'm a relative n00b at

[16:40] sburwood1: do you use desktop effects on your
desktop?
[16:41] hello everyone, i have accidentily installed grub
legacy and now my grub menu doesn't come up and and i need to install
grub2 again
[16:41] ActionParsnip: yep, crashed again, taking me all the
way back to the login
[16:41] any help appreciated :-)
[16:41] mrskite: you can do it from liveCD using a chroot
[16:41] (this is after renaming ~/.libreoffice to
~/.libreoffice_old, which incidentally caused libreoffice impress to
complain a few times of missing "BASICS" files before it crashed)
[16:42] ActionParsnip: Desktop effects? I'm using the Ubuntu
desktop as opposed to the Ubuntu classic version
[16:42] Escherial: could grab the debs for 3.4 and see if
it helps
[16:42] how can i set it up so users don't have access to list
files in other users home directories?
[16:42] sburwood1: yes, you can have effects with that,
like cube desktop and wobbly windows etc
[16:42] perhaps there's some other program i could use to
edit powerpoint files? i'm not attached to libreoffice in any way

my sound buttons on my keyboard the following happens: first of all the
little menu to adjust sound starts to flicker, then my menu's at the top
don't work any more, i cant type normal and can't move any windows...
please help
[16:42] ActionParsnip: I haven't done anything like that. If
there something to download in the Software center?
[16:43] sburwood1: there's a compiz configuration tool that's
available via the package manager, lets you get at all of those
interesting settings
[16:43] ActionParsnip: ok thanks, how do i use a chroot?

smaller (file size way)
[16:45] ActionParsnip: thanks

[16:49] hi folks
[16:49] i have a problem with atftpd here.. when I start it,
syslog says atftpd: invalid IP address
[16:51] akSeya, not knowing atftpd in particular, it sounds like
you probably need to set a listening IP address in your config file. Can
you paste your config file (as per the title instructions) and let me
take a look?
[16:51] ActionParsnip: That's great ! Any other things that
I can do with ccsm that won't destroy the system?

[16:56] belarm: I just found a strange thing... i have this
setting in /etc/default/atftpd ... in /etc/init.d/atftpd I have the
USE_INETD and OPTIONS too
[16:56] swf plugins
[16:56] Then I'd suggest a simpler server - or removing all of
the mcast-related options from /etc/default/atftpd.
[16:56] and nowhere in there have anything calling
/etc/default/atftpd
[16:56] That is strange. Does it have an xinetd entry?
[16:57] belarm: i have tried tftpd and tftpd-hpa but they didn't
work either
[16:57] mang0: you can manage music with banshee, the default

[17:00] hold on
[17:00] akSeya, I may have just found a bug report that refers
to this.
[17:00] FTP? really? /me checks what year this is.

[17:00] I've been at 1280x960 on this CRT, and I'm considering
a 1920x1080 LCD. I adjusted my resolution to 1920x1440 and increased the

they are kinda thick and ugly now. Am I doing it wrong?

[17:01] tftp, actually, mneptok, and it's still very useful in

[17:02] belarm: TFTP secluded to the local network is not
terrible. but as an actual userspace transfer protocol, FTP has been
superceded.
[17:03] belarm: yeap
[17:03] Yes, mneptok. FTP is. TFTP is, as I said, still very
useful - just not for humans.
[17:03] Well, akSeya, that's not good.

[17:05] ...though I did recently set up an FTP server for a 4TB
file transfer from another university.

http://static.inky.ws/image/636/image.jpg how to fix this? any package
should be reinstalled?
[17:05] oh, fixed it! changed hinting to None and it looks a
ton better
[17:05] akSeya, I'm using the standard options, but from
/etc/default/tftpd-hpa, not inetd.
[17:05] akSeya: and be aware, a lot of daemons deliberately
break their default config file to ensure admins actually look at it and
edit it for their environment. you'll want to step through that file
carefully.
[17:06] hold on
[17:06] The issue you were originally having with atftpd seems
like it could have been caused by not specifying a --bind-address option
if you have more than one NIC.
[17:06] * lethu is away: Awwwwway...
[17:06] mneptok, I've yet to see that behavior in an Ubuntu
package.

files rather than invoke the daemon with the default, IMO

[17:54] since im outputting over hdmi
[17:54] elgruntox, yes, if you are using hdmi
[17:55] elgruntox, xrandr --query this will list the
monitors
[17:55] neat that worked
[17:55] now how do i make this the default
[17:55] i think the refresh rate is a little off though
[17:55] its pretty fuzzy
[17:56] elgruntox, go to the keyboard shortcut utility of
gnome
[17:56] add a shortcut by using that command
[17:56] then use e.g. win key + F3 as shortcut
[17:56] xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --off -
-primary
[17:56] how do i change the refresh rate
[17:56] that is the command to switch back to the laptop
monitor, replace VGA1 with HDMI1
=== X_ is now known as FreeNET
[17:57] elgar, it should be in the screen preference tool
of gnome
[17:57] elgruntox, ^^
[17:57] hm
[17:57] in the monitor settings it only says 60hz
[17:57] and i cant change it
[17:57] unless thats the wrong menu
[17:57] then you can't change it
[17:58] What should be? I wasn't chatting (that I knew of).
[17:58] welp
[17:58] elgruntox, why do you want to change it.
[17:58] i dont know it seems a little fuzzy
[17:58] like the rate is too high
[17:58] when i load grub and try to boot into recovery, i get a
list of options including clean, dpkg, failsafeX, netroot, root, etc. the
dpkg option tries to fix broken installations, but it can't resolve the
server to generate a new database. what command could i run from the
networked root prompt that would attempt the same fix?
[17:58] ahhh, I was typo'd. Back to sleep.
[17:59] DeltaEpsilon: so when i reboot will i need to redo
that command
[17:59] i guess i can just make a hosrtcut for that too
[17:59] elgruntox, yes, that's why I tell you to create a
shortcut
[17:59] it is very handy
[18:00] Does anyone know of a away to assign a role based on
some field (CCK, Taxonomy, etc) at signup and not after ?
[18:00] elgruntox, I can only help you this much. :-)

[18:08] Guest68384: with the right entry in gryb.cfg it can
work. i got some links at delicious.com/dr_willis
[18:08] If I have an external harddrive and I want to use it
for both backing up both linux and windows files and you want it to be
very reliable, would you either partition it as nfts or would you double-
partition it with ntfs and ext4?
[18:08] pzn then there is no reason why it should not just
work...

[18:09] any idea guys
[18:09] dr-willis, im after adding the files to the

not sure how.

there for more than 20 minute! I have a SSD SATA Hard Drive, Corsair F40.

[18:12] soz forgot the gdm lol
[18:12] pzn, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[18:12] Guest68384, full machine reboot does not fix this.
[18:12] as of about the last week or two, ubuntu 10.04 cant seem
to keep track of logged in users? e.g. running who is empty, or 'w' says
0 users. i rebooted the box and when i logged in it did work again for a
second, e.g. it should my currently logged in session (1 user). now ive
done some outbound ssh's and its 0 users again, whats up?
[18:12] or maybe service gdm restart i think its changed..
[18:13] pzn that just does the gdm, you are running Gnome ?
[18:13] pzn, what video card you got ?

[18:23] So I downloaded easytether for ubuntu and it installed

[18:23] I don't see it under Applications. In the software

[18:25] i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live

should i do?
[18:26] has anyone build a custom supergrub2disk that
included other iso on it ? how do you do it!
[18:26] is there a way to hide the left dock bar in unity?
[18:26] it takes a lot of space
[18:26] so I'm having issues with wireless in Oneiric, anyone
else having issues?
[18:27] (Sometimes it will slow to a crawl and won't go about
4kbps until I plug it into a line)
[18:27] prakas: ccsm tool has settings for that
[18:28] where is the ccsm tool?
[18:29] will ubuntu really drop support of gnome 2 shell in
ubuntu 11.10 and higher?
[18:29] prakas: its moving to gnome3
[18:29] prakas,its dropped in the beta edition
[18:29] prakas: it allready has been dropped in beta
[18:29] but in beta edition repositories,we already have
a fall back,which is like gnome 2
[18:30] unity is terrible. doesnt let me launch apps easily. i
have to type term in order to launch terminal
[18:30] and the left docking bar takes a lot of space
[18:30] prakas: there is an unofficial fork of gnome2
called 'mate' omgubuntu has a story on it
[18:30] unity is a step behind! seriously
[18:30] unuty is not terriable. ut is a work in progress
however
[18:30] I was wondering, ubuntu has /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu. Where can I find the flags/patches ubuntu used to build binutils
that way?
[18:30] prakas,fall back mode does the job for you
then,Unity is improved,GNOME Shell is available in repos,and you can
always try Xfce,Kde
[18:30] prakas: try gnome3 with gnome-shell.. i am using it
and really got used to it now
[18:30] prakas: go try the beta.
[18:31] not tried unity though
[18:31] prakas: unity2d replaces ubuntu classic in
oneiric
[18:31] 11.04 kills my mini battery! > 1 hour
[18:31] does unity2d has menus that can be selected via the
mouse?
[18:31] prakas,no... :p,its alot like Unity
[18:31] unity doesnt let me use the mouse to launch apps which
is annoying
[18:31] lol
[18:32] Can I use AppArmor to block network access on a per-
application basis?
[18:32] then it is fail!
[18:32] prakas: there are more DEs than gnome, try an
alternative if you dislike unity
[18:32] looking up omgbuntu
[18:32] prakas,as said,use GNOME 3 Fall Back if you enjoy
classic,I am unsure if it will be in repositories of final edition of
11.10,but its in beta repositories so will probably be in 11.10
repositories =)
[18:33] prakas: are you serious? Sure you can launch apps
with mouse

[18:34] If I have an external harddrive and I want to use it
for both backing up both linux and windows files and you want it to be
very reliable, would you either partition it as nfts or would you double-
partition it with ntfs and ext4?
[18:34] for some reason my ethernet card isn't recognized by
ubuntu, it does work if i boot up a live-cd and in windows just not under
this current installation, any ideas how i can troubleshoot this, and fix
it?
[18:34] prakas: click ubuntu icon in top left then drop
down the installed apps, scroll down and you will see ALL available apps.
You can drag them to the unity bar for convenience
[18:34] ActionParsnip: yes but i have to click once then type in
the search bar the name of the app to have it displayed and then click,
in case of menus it was easier, just point and another menu pops up
[18:35] i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live
CD but it says its mounted or explicitly opened for another program, what
should i do?
[18:35] Somelauw, ubuntu will read ntfs windows wont read ext4
easily .
[18:35] How can I automate backing up files from my ubuntu server
to windows nas
[18:35] prakas: no, you don't HAVE TO type, as I said
[18:35] tasos99: open disk utility from System > Administration
and unmount the HDD in question
[18:36] ActionParsnip: or click on All Applications or drag them
to the left dock. i dislike the left dock. takes space of my 10" netbook
screen
[18:36] cmdbbq: Im using a live CD, nothing is mounted at all
[18:36] prakas,search for terminal once,put it in
shortcuts
[18:36] prakas, try the applications buton in the left menu.
[18:36] joe__: cron is one solution
[18:36] I heard ubuntu can read ntfs perfectly, but I would
like it if even more people would confirm it.
[18:36] i want to get rid of the left dock ;)
[18:36] i run linux 2.6.38-11
[18:36] Somelauw,it does read it perfect =)
[18:36] Somelauw, yes it is true.
[18:36] tasos99: it may have automounted the hdd, does it show
up at all in disk utility?
[18:37] Guest68384, ppa did not upgrade anything :-( it is there
in sources list, but all "default karmic 11.4 64bits" packages are newer
than ppa
[18:37] prakas: thats different and makes sense. I
suggest you switch to xfce or lxde
[18:37] prakas: or even kde
[18:37] knightstalker, urlin2u: Thanks
[18:37] cmdbbq: it doesnt show up at 'mount'
[18:38] cmdbbq: and 'umount /dev/sda6' claims that the device
isnt mounted
[18:38] ActionParsnip: my screen is 10" and that bar doesnt hide
when an app is lauched. it takes a lot of area of my screen
[18:38] prakas: it can be made to hide
[18:38] how?
[18:38] prakas: so will use zero screen
[18:38] the panel can autohide. and you can make it smaller
[18:39] prakas: its a setting in ccsm.
[18:39] ccsm is a command line app?
[18:39] ccsm tool. unity plugin settings
[18:39] Wow, I just discovered that I've switched to an OS

would need to

[18:45] menus were a cool idea. curse on gnome 3 and unity!
[18:45] prakas, quit complaining you just installed it and are
ranting.

restrict an application's ability to make network connections, but that
is rather in-depth.

[18:45] LearnUbuntu: i believe it's: export DISPLAY :0:0

[18:45] urlin2u: installed it for 2 days
[18:45] ActionParsnip, thank you, was just googleing..
[18:46] prakas, great and you are using the support channel
with abuse.
[18:46] prakas: as i always say, there is more than gnome
[18:46] urlin: Just boot'em
[18:46] urlin2u: That's the classic answer. I don't know what
is particularly Windows-centric about per-application network control.
Linux comes with per-port or per-IP access control in the kernel - it
strikes me that per-application is a logical third option. Windows
security people realised this 10 years ago. People in the Ubuntu forums
spent 10 years telling people it's so great already you just don't need
it.
[18:46] ActionParsnip: thanks for recommending xfce :)
[18:46] LearnUbuntu: use websearch to verify, I'm not
100% on the syntax
[18:47] היי
[18:47] ActionParsnip, no worries thanks :)

"possible" at this stage.

firewalls" reasoning sounds to me like defending Ubuntu by trying to turn
a deficiency into a feature. Again, I don't understand why it's
unreasonable to want to control network access on an application basis.
The best argument against it I've heard is basically that linux apps are
more trustworthy. I don't work at that level of face-value.

no idea whats going on
[18:55] tasos99: that is nasty
[18:55] any suggestions?
[18:56] Do you know how to do the auto fill (tap button) incase
sensitive in the bash (terminal)?
[18:56] i can t use the web for this, cause i NEED a big
touchpad, and this is not a criteria... :(

[18:56] chewy: I got a lenovo g470, i5, intel graphics. Only
thing that doesn't work under linux is the SD card reader. So far this
has been a great laptop.
[18:56] andre_: have you tried to use software center or
synaptic?
[18:57] chewy, this is support not which computer you should
get, look on the web.
[18:57] tasos99: i would suggest one if the 'system rescue
live cds' or trying some alt live cd like tinycorelinux
[18:57] ok i m sorry. but then i could avoid asing for support
later :)

[19:00] orchata: an ad hoc network?
[19:00] orchata, with a router?
[19:00] Nope, I am on a laptop with an ad-hoc

[19:02] hi, having some trouble installing mysql thro "gem
install mysql", keeps telling me "no definition for multiple stuff" got
no idea whats going on
[19:02] what no fdisk? ;)
[19:02] there is possibly a bug idk. when a shell script has a
line starting with sudo and i run the shell script without sudo, it
doesnt ask me to input the root password and automatically runs the
command as non-root. has anyone tried this?
[19:02] why doesnt this work? find . -name "*.info"
[19:02] dr-willis: or parted :)
[19:02] i want to search for files with a .info extension?
[19:03] pr0ton: find /path/ -iname "*.info"
[19:03] doesnt work
[19:03] pr0ton: Why not?
[19:03] i didn't have the issue with ubuntu 10.04. it always
asked me to enter the password when running the shell script if contained
sudo inside
[19:03] Pici, it should be recursive for me
[19:03] pr0ton: iname is all i can advise extra
[19:03] pr0ton: find is normally recursive.
[19:04] the files are actually just .info
[19:04] they're not like, a.info or anything
[19:04] maybe ubuntu hides files with a . as first character?
=== _s0rta-gnu is now known as _myself_shavin
[19:04] pr0ton: could make a file with the extensions so
it will at least find that
[19:04] pr0ton: Linux normally hides files which start with . Use
ls -a to see them, find should bring them up though.
[19:05] pr0ton: * will include hidden files
[19:05] ActionParsnip, and the command would be?
[19:06] pr0ton: touch findme.info
[19:06] no, u said, "* will include hidden files"
[19:06] touch creates a file
[19:07] pr0ton: put it in a folder someplace
[19:07] ?
[19:07] pr0ton: your find syntax was OK
[19:08] hi all, i know theres a simpler way to get samba
installed and configed with 11.04, i just did a fresh install cause i was
having a bad hard drive. how would i do that if anyone can help
[19:08] StillParsnip: this is actionParsnip. Went through
a dead area
[19:08] mkanyicy, it doesnt show .info files though
[19:08] pr0ton: Are you sure they exist?
[19:08] * meta-coder is here.
[19:08] yes
[19:08] they're in a symlinked folder though
[19:08] however when i checked for json
[19:08] GhostWolf: sudo apt-get install samba
[19:08] it showed my json files under the symlinked directory
[19:09] pr0ton: find doesn't normally traverse symlinks.
[19:09] so i cd'd and ran it
[19:09] it worked
[19:09] just read man pages
[19:09] i need to add a -H or something
[19:09] stillParsnip, ok but what bout configuring it? do i
need tostill do that as i remember doing alot of stuff for samba before
[19:09] pr0ton: ahh (mental note)
[19:09] pr0ton: try this: 'find . -type f | grep .info'
[19:09] I found a bug in banshee. Where can I report?

[19:10] meta-coder, you need a launchpad account I believe.
[19:10] Pici: Banshee can be called a part of Ubuntu or its

[19:11] stillParsnip, ok
[19:11] urlin2u: Ok, I'll get a launchpad account soon.

[19:12] I have a pretty fresh 11.04 install and my sound is
coming out of my speakers whether or not my headphones are plugged in
[19:12] I have trouble making Ubuntu detect ADSL2+ modem. I
know DSL is "obsolete," but where I live it isn't.
[19:13] is it obsolete?
[19:13] GhostWolf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/683782
[19:13] stillParsnip, also last time i installed 11.04 i
remember someone told me that samba should be into system settings, i
don't see anything in system settings that has samba.
[19:14] How to make Ubuntu detect ADSL when connected
through USB?
[19:14] GhostWolf: the bottom sections are all i add :-)
then use: sudo smbpasswd -a andy to set password
[19:14] stillParsnip, i already have a bookmark of that
[19:15] meta-coder, maybe considered "obsolete" in some large
urban areas , but it's still very much in use everywhere else

Simple and effective
[19:16] i would like to commit a fix to a couple bugs

=== agoole is now known as agoole22
[19:16] Cypher2: No need to apologize, feel free to ask (all on
one line please).
[19:16] stillParsnip: Should I run lsusb while the router is
connected or when it is not?
[19:16] I just did an update, and my touchpad stops working
sporatically, anyone else experience this ?
[19:17] stillParsnip, well meaning of simple it should've had
had something in the system settings, least for 11.04 i remember that
part and someone from here telling me to open that but theres nothing on
system settings for samba
[19:17] meta-coder: while connected. Usb router sounds
obscure
[19:18] alright here goes... i fixed ubuntu-mono, tested my
local build, committed changes and am ready to push. the error is as
follows: nathanel@Mercury:~/build-area/ubuntu-mono$ bzr push

[19:18] stillParsnip: On some forums I read running lsusb
before and after connecting the router helps in identifying something..
[19:19] Cypher2: ehh, I suspect this is a better question for
#launchpad, Theres some environment variable that I think you need to set
before you can do that.
[19:19] Cypher2: Can't remember what it is though.
[19:19] Pici: just pasting a line with sudo inside the script
doesnt work. can i paste here
[19:19] Pici: I have the router drivers for windows. Can I
make the drivers work under Wine in Ubuntu?
[19:19] meta-coder: no
[19:19] Pici: it asked me to enter root password in 10.04
[19:20] understodd, yet i have difficulty finding an answer.
all the variables i've attempted to set do not work: ssh-add
ssh_auth_sock
[19:20] Pici: but in 11.04 it doesnt ask me the password
[19:20] prakas: It should still ask you in any other release.
[19:20] Pici: S
[19:20] Pici: #!/bin/bash
[19:20] ls -l
[19:20] sudo cp test.desktop
/usr/share/applications/test.desktop
[19:20] what packages could break my touchpad ?
[19:20] prakas: Are you sure that sudo is not currently caching
your password when you run it?
[19:20] Pici: *oh typo
[19:20] Pici: it doesnt ask me to enter the root password
[19:20] prakas: Does it copy the file?
[19:21] Pici: no and doesnt show errors either
[19:21] Cypher2: did you: bzr lp-login nathanel.titane; yet?
[19:21] ya
[19:21] Pici: but running the shellscript with sudo does copy it
[19:21] im on the same session ive used to pull and fix
[19:21] Pici: I want a list of all possible gcc -l arguments
like -lm for math.h, etc I couldn't find it it man pages..
[19:21] prakas: are you in the same path as test.desktop
[19:22] Pici: yes on the same directory
[19:22] Pici: i am running it as ./scriptname
[19:22] meta-coder: I don't know what they are. contrary to
popular belief, I don't know everything.
[19:22] Cypher2: you don't need to login to pull to commit to
your local repo, just to push, so that doesn't necessarily mean anything
[19:22] prakas: and you see the output from the ls -l ?
[19:22] which packages handle the mouse functions ?
[19:22] I tried using the older kernel

again to make sure.. still error
[19:22] Pici: yes it shows the ls -l :P anything that is
prefixed sudo doesnt ask me the password
[19:23] and runs it in non-root
[19:23] HEY all, I want a list of all possible gcc -l
arguments like -lm for math.h, etc I couldn't find it it man pages..
[19:23] Pici: running the script with sudo works but it is not
ideal

anything, or move windows

off button

your script again?
[19:26] urlin2u: I can also click links
[19:27] !gksudo | meta-coder
[19:27] meta-coder: If you need to run graphical applications as
root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more
appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See
http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[19:27] Pici: i didnt enter the root password before
[19:28] Cypher2: no idea, I would ask in #launchpad as Pici
suggested (I would also try pushing something to
~username/+junk/branchname to see if you can push anywhere)

or wireless?

[19:29] the junk push fails also.. i've tried.. nada... i.m
actually on the launchpad question page and the only thing it suggests is
switching from username to lp name... which in my case is not registered
for some weird reason... also simple ssh does not connect with same error
[19:29] Q: grub2 in ubuntu - how are you actually supposed to be
able to set the preferred kernel to boot? is there an "easy" way to
actually do this ?
[19:30] urlin2u: yeah, sorry, the touchpad on the laptop, and
its buttons
[19:30] agoole22, not sure I don't use the touchpad.
=== xangua2 is now known as xangua
[19:30] Cypher2: I don't see that you've asked your question in
#launchpad yet though.
[19:30] urlin2u: could it be the window manager ?
[19:30] meta-coder: Regarding your questiong, -lm is not just a
gcc option... the -l parameter is for including libraries, and libm is
the common name of math library.

[19:31] Rockj, what are you trying to get as the default and
what are all of the OS's involved.
[19:31] meaning im on
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzr/+question/80792
[19:31] urlin2u: ubuntu 11.04 , trying to make the vserver kernel
the default one to boot up
[19:31] Guile: SImilarly I want to know all the lib
available to be included as is -lm.
[19:32] meta-coder: So, there is no list for which -lx you can
use. The filename to the library which is indicated after -l can be any
name, also you can use your own created library.
[19:32] Cypher2: Yes, but you're trying to push to launchpad, so
it is probably best to ask them about any known issues or tips.
[19:33] meta-coder: when you yous -lm gcc looks for libm.a which
is commonly at /usr/lib/libm.a
[19:33] k.. i will
[19:33] meta-coder: So you can just use ls -1 /usr/lib/*.a for
knowing which values you can use. :) Gotcha?
[19:34] Guile: What is libz for? What header files does it
support? And does libm has only math.h and not any other header file?

[19:36] tasos - forcing an fsck on a mounted FS is a very
bad idea, fsck can severely damage a mounted filesystem. Whatever you
do, it's at your own risk
[19:37] meta-coder: you are welcome.
[19:37] I have a fresh Ubuntu 10.04.03 install, and I can
not change the default open application for any damn mime type. It's
sooooo annoying. What is so hard about telling ubuntu to open an mp3 with
audacious instead of totem ??? ROAR! No other ubuntu does this.
[19:38] tasos99: If you used LVM, and have free space to make a
snapshot partition, lookup making an LVM snapshot. You can safely run
fsck on the snapshot, to see if the fsck is neccesary.
[19:39] _s0rta-gnu, mp3 right click properties open with
[19:39] kyle__: the filesystem is severely damaged, and shows
up as mounted, when its not
[19:39] yeah. that doesn't do anything urlin2u

[19:39] it will do it one time, but does not save the change
like it should
[19:40] tasos99: Ahhh. Well, then I'd fsck, and pray. If it's
that dammnaged, it's probably the only way you're going to get your data
back. (And you DID check to make sure the live cd didn't auto-moun it or
somefin?)
[19:40] hello everyone.
[19:40] kyle__: it did NOT automount it
[19:40] _s0rta-gnu, really if you choose audacious it does not
work?
[19:40] i can either mount it or unmount it
[19:40] is there any way to fix the mouse lag when you press a
key?
[19:40] hi, ubuntu freeze with SSD drive
[19:40] tasos99: :) Good. Just had to check
[19:40] or is it because hardware interupt causes it.
[19:40] but fsck doesnt want to start, cause its 'mounted'!
[19:40] tasos99: Check /etc/mtab
[19:41] umount /dev/sda6 sais that /etc/mtab says that its not
mounted

[19:42] bah

[20:05] hallo all, im new with ubuntu where does my file
"land" when i do the mv file.extension .file.extenseion ?
[20:05] But I don't see in this case how they could cause this
conflict
[20:05] wafflesburger: So then to find out what
architecture your machine is, is in the result of: uname -p
[20:05] BiKER-JENS: in your current directory, that is in the
directory where you issue the command
[20:06] its x86_54 genii-around but what abotu the rest
of that string :P
[20:06] 64*
[20:06] BiKER-JENS: Yep. It's just not displayed by
default in Nautilus, since the leading "." indicates that the file is
hidden
[20:06] Those are the lastest releases?
[20:06] arghh okay

[20:09] Antonio007: prism WiFi NIC?
[20:09] and ubuntu 10.04
[20:09] yes
[20:09] Antonjo: the p54 firmware is in linux-firmware-nonfree,
the drivers are included by default
[20:09] Antonio007: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
[20:09] and flash videos and contents were somewhat slower
than windows

however PHP cant chmod it. (i dont want to remove chmod as in production
it wont be on NTFS). it has got a umask of 000. what can i do?
[20:13] Antonjo: we don't support custom kernels here, although
there is no reason it shouldn't work assuming you have the firmware from
linux-firmware-nonfree and properly enabled the drivers
[20:13] No that my APT-GET INSTALL doesn't work anymore what will
happen to all the downloads I just did. About 300MB
[20:13] i thought i solved the problem before by using the ntfs-
3g driver
[20:14] The fact is this: the usb stick is US-robotics
[20:14] I tried nediswrapper
[20:14] Antonjo: for the stock natty kernel, you need to make
sure to update to 2.6.38-11 since there is a bug in versions less than
2.6.38-10 which will cause p54 to fail to connect
[20:14] but after, say 3 minutes, the system hangs

[20:21] ExtraBob: Ubuntu 11.04 probably won't need noapic
(the bug probably would've been fixed), but when booting off USB, hit
'esc' during the purple screen with the icons at the bottom.
[20:21] andaluz: that is usually added when there is a space in
the name/title
[20:21] whats up noobuntus?
[20:22] what is the latest version of chrome stable?
[20:22] th0r, you are right. But, I don't add spaces at all,
that's the whole problem. On MS Windows I did the same, which is
processed well
[20:22] iwantfroyo no the bug is not fixed, when booting from
the usb stick it crashes, when booting from the usb the scren is black
not purple like 10.10 and i cant seem to find anyway to find a noapic
option or any other option for that matter
[20:23] I think it's a bug...
[20:23] TeleportLisa: What type of CDROM is it? IDE? or...?
[20:23] TeleportLisa: Is this a desktop computer or laptop or...?
[20:24] ExtraBob, the option is in the F6 menu same as the cd
isnt it
[20:24] Laptop computer. It's the internal cd-rom, Philips
brand I think. It
[20:24] ExtraBob: I'm not sure then. Can you access Grub2
from the USB? (Hitting esc right after the BIOS screen, before the purple
screen).
[20:24] mongy, he said he can't get to the purple screen.
[20:24] it's a Gateway computer
[20:25] TeleportLisa: ls -l /dev/cdrom | pastebinit

window...THEN all my problems are fixed.
[20:25] omg i am so lost. Icannot install nvidia
drivers...anybody know how to disable xserver
[20:26] ExtraBob, if you can get to Grub2, you can edit the
first option to include noapic. I'm not sure if this works from a
liveusb, though.
[20:26] ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom: No such file or
directory
[20:26] The program 'pastebinit' is currently not
installed. You can install it by typing:
[20:26] iwantfroyo i can get the options try ubuntu install
ubuntu test memory etc etc, BUT the screen is black and white in 11.04
not pink like 10.10 and for me there are no extra options like in 10.10
when you hit f6 over try ubuntu there came up a little square with
several option including noapic but this for me from an usb stick does
not exist in ubuntu 11.04
[20:26] sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:26] so should I install?
[20:26] yes
[20:26] usr13: I tried a live Puppy and my stick worked out of
the box. In Puppy with lsmod I saw
[20:26] mac80211 99898 2 p54usb,p54common.
[20:26] So I think that I do not need ndiswrapper, is it?
[20:27] user: profanity, even obfuscated, is not welcome
[20:27] ExtraBob, I'm not sure if Grub2 is installed on the
USB, but you might be able to get to it before hitting the purple screen.
esc is the trigger key.
[20:27] Antonjo: No, you don't need ndiswrapper
[20:27] Antonjo: correct, you shouldn't need ndiswrapper, but you
will need linux-firmware-nonfree, because the p54 firmware was moved
there and it is not installed by default
[20:27] .anybody know how to disable xserver
[20:27] iwantfroyo i say again in ubuntu 11.04 the screen is
not purple but bacl and white
[20:28] ok installed and re-entered command. got this
[20:28] ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom: No such file or
directory
[20:28] ExtraBob, and I'm not talking about the screen that
asks you the language and whether you want to install or try. I assume
you know what Grub2 looks like?
[20:28] You are trying to send an empty document, exiting.
[20:28] trism, can I just check, the linux-firmware-
nonfree, do you know if there's any firmware in there for atheros usb and
rtl8192cu sticks?
[20:28] because it is full of tutorials for my stick us
robotics suggestig ndiswrapper
[20:29] And as long as you can get to the screen that asks
if you want to install or try (since it seems that's what you're talking
about), then you should be able to edit the menu option from there to
include noapic without using F6.

[20:31] ExtraBob, what I mean is, does it say anywhere: "Try

[20:32] ExtraBob, even if it's black and white, it should
work.
[20:32] iwantforyo yes i wrote that :) i can select try ubuntu
install ubuntu test memory etc etc
[20:32] iwantforyo and all of this is in black and white not
pink like in 10.10
[20:32] ExtraBob, sorry. I must've missed it. Oops. I think
it might actually supposed to be black for Natty. It certainly is for
Ubuntu Studio and Xubuntu.
[20:33] ExtraBob, is it that it's black that is the issue?
[20:33] does anyone know of a good channel for discussing
security strategies? I would like to talk to someone to check if my
strategy for securing commuications between pre-trusted devices using AES
over open ad-hoc 802.11g has flaws (most definately does, I can name a
few but have ideas for fixes)
[20:33] Antonjo: yes, you should use the p54 modules included
with the kernel instead of ndiswrapper with recent kernels, download and
install linux-firmware-nonfree and linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic from
packages.ubuntu.com and it should work fine
[20:33] AsSlowAsHell: ##security would be a good start

use the firmware once you've installed the package? Where do I put it and
so on?
[20:35] yo all
[20:35] :)
[20:35] iwantfroyo the issue is that there is no noapic option
that i can find and without it i cant use ubuntu 11.04 because it simply
wont load and freezes, in ubuntu 10.10 by selecting the noapic option
would make ubuntu 10.10 run nicely and not freeze during startup
[20:35] it looks like the nonfree package actually does
have firmware which will run both of my usb wifi sticks so i can shift
ndiswrapper
[20:35] TeleportLisa: Well, I don't know. You might reboot and
see if it comes up.
[20:36] ExtraBob, you can hit 'e' to edit the entries, and
just add 'noapic' to the end. You don't have to have the option in 'F6'
to do it.
[20:36] BarkingFish: it should be detected automatically and used
if available (for my cards, there is a line in dmesg that will list when
the firmware is detected, or missing)
[20:36] ExtraBob, Just make sure you edit the option you're
going to select. It doesn't do it universally.
[20:36] ExtraBob, not sure on your hardware but have you tried
nomodeset ?
[20:36] i've tried that already. Oh well. I'll post on the
support forum and see if anyone knows. Thanks though :)
[20:36] excellent, thank you trism
[20:37] I'm going to drop out and nail ndiswrapper for a
moment, reboot and see whether the system picks up anything from the new
firmware
[20:37] back in a while :)
[20:37] BarkingFish: good luck
[20:37] thanks
[20:37] see you in a bit
[20:37] iwantfroyo i cant edit any option that is the point i
cant edit the option pressing f1-f12 does nothing but gives a peeping
sound
[20:38] ExtraBob, You don't have to hit those. Just press
'e' while over the option you want to boot.
[20:38] After installing linux-firmware-nonfree, do i need some
modprobe xxxxx command ?
[20:38] TeleportLisa: It might be broke.
[20:39] Antonjo: You may need to reboot
[20:39] It works fine when I switch back over to windows
[20:39] Antonjo: when you plug in your card the modules should be
loaded automatically
[20:39] usr13: ok
[20:39] Antonjo: but yeah, you should reboot if ndiswrapper is
already running
[20:39] plug before reboot?
[20:40] iwantfrotyo are you telling me that by pressing the
letter E over and option for example try ubuntu or install ubuntu in the
usb stick boot menu a window will open that allows my to select different
boot options
[20:40] Antonjo: Yea, ... doesn't matter
[20:40] Antonjo: shouldn't matter, you may want to hold off
plugging in until after you reboot so you can watch /var/log/kern.log and
see the detection messages

[20:43] hi, i need help on ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS. I have some trouble
with motd and ssh. I can"t see motd with ssh
[20:43] Another question though. It seems that my desktop
keeps changing colors on its own. Sometimes my menu bars and terminal
background are black, sometimes they are white. Also the icons for some
applications seem to change as well. What is causing this?
[20:43] ExtraBob, what happens is a text box (of sorts) will
appear under it with a bunch of techie stuff. Just add 'noapic' to the
very end.
=== nick9892 is now known as StuBb0rn
[20:44] iwantfroyo do you wish me to type on the keyboard and
add the word by pressing down on the keyes the word noapic after a code
line?
[20:44] tvaldes: What is your user name on this PC?
[20:44] heat: motd is run by scripts now.. located in
/etc/update-motd.d/
[20:44] ExtraBob, yes. You type it at the very end.
[20:44] tvaldes: who
[20:45] iwantfroyo so you want me to select the option try
ubuntu from the usb stick then press e then type in noapic and then what
press enter?
[20:45] bastidrazor : yes i knowd i do some script all th e
journey in this folder and now i can't see the result (it work with on
console)
[20:45] ExtraBob: You don't select it. You go down to it
with the arrow keys, hit 'e' to edit, type 'noapic' at the end, and press
enter.
[20:45] usr13: Sorry, it's ivinteractive
[20:46] Can you boot into a windows drive with a live-usb stick
and move some pictures to the usb-stick, then boot into another windows
drive and move the pictures toi t?
[20:46] iwantfroyo i will try that now, logging off cheers
[20:46] Hi all. I have ubuntu 11.04 and apache2. I want to enable
/home/*/public_html for apache, so I followed these instructions:
http://selinap.com/2009/04/enable-ubuntu-public_html-user-directory-for-
apache/. However, now I'm getting 403: Forbidden on localhost/~myuser.
The perms on /home/myuser/public_html are 0755, and its ownership is
myuser:myuser.
[20:46] ExtraBob: Cheers.
[20:47] hi all, i have installed samba, even configed the
smb.conf file and it shows up in vista laptop, but when it pops up for
username and password and i type my username and password for ubuntu it
tells me login unsuccessful
[20:47] Or rather, how would I go about saving files from a
windows disk using a live usb-stick?
[20:48] iwantfroyo, hope he remembers to do update-grub
[20:48] tvaldes: cdrecord -scanbus | pastebinit #And paste
resulting URL here
[20:48] BluesKaj, update-grub won't help after only doing
that. You have to edit /etc/default/grub and THEN run update grub. :)
[20:49] still editing grub
[20:50] usr13: http://pastebin.com/nij9hys1
[20:50] is there anything else im missing if im trying to get
vista to reconize my ubuntu pc? i believe i did everything correctly but
when i went to vista and mapping the network drive it just prompts a
username and password and then tells me the username and or password is
not correct
[20:51] btw as i also just realized, since i changed the
smb.conf file should i restart samba? if so how do i go bout doing that
maybe thats the problem i have?
[20:52] trism: With live puppy, issuing lsmod |grep p54, I saw
this:
[20:52] http://pastebin.com/riyRSmaK
[20:52] Now lsmod |grep p54 gives a blank line
[20:53] GhostWolf, somehow the deamon has to know, that there's
a new config to read. I don't use samba, but maybe "sudo service samba
restart" will do the trick.
[20:53] tvaldes: You will need to install a CD or DVD Writer
before you can burn CDs
[20:53] Ghostwolf: sudo service smbd restart
[20:53] Antonjo: can you pastebin the dmesg output when you plug
in your card?
[20:53] ok
[20:54] rumpe1, ok, all i know is i did it before, but in
11.04 i also remembering that there was samba in the system settings and
i just did a fresh install cause i had a problem with an old hdd
[20:54] trism, unfortunately, the autodetection was a
spectacular failure
[20:54] celldee, would that work if i only installed samba?
meaning someone earlier just told me to do sudo apt-get install samba and
nothing else
[20:54] iwantfroyo pressing the keyboard letter E does nothing
run ubuntu option is slected, pressing tab gives a code line int he
bottom, pressing tab and then typing in the word noapic does also nothing
and the thing starts to run and freezes
[20:55] neither of my devices were picked up, but firmware
exists in the nonfree setup for both pieces of equipment. Any ideas on
what I do now?
[20:55] It seems that my desktop keeps changing colors on
its own. Sometimes my menu bars and terminal background are black,
sometimes they are white. Also the icons for some applications seem to
change as well. What is causing this?
[20:55] GhostWolf: You can check to see if Samba is running -
sudo service smbd status
[20:55] TeleportLisa: Could be that your video card is
overheating.
[20:55] celldee, ok just one second
[20:56] Banshee just crashed on me, then continued to crash
every time I attempted to start the application. I removed it and
reinstalled it using apt, but it still crashes on startup. Any idea what
I can do?
[20:56] celldee, it is, says its start/running
[20:56] BarkingFish: did you look at the dmesg output when
plugging in your card?
[20:56] trism, yes, there was none.
[20:56] TeleportLisa: Maybe your PC needs a good cleaning?
[20:56] GhostWolf: OK so restart it and see what happens
[20:57] ok celldee just did. im going to try again on vista
see if it lets me connect with the username/password. i haven't set the
password or username but its weird how vista asks me for it
[20:57] iwantfroyo pressing the keyboard letter E does nothing
run ubuntu option is slected, pressing tab gives a code line int he
bottom, pressing tab and then typing in the word noapic does also nothing
and the thing starts to run and freezes
[20:57] BarkingFish: which wireless usb device is this?
[20:57] usr13: is there some way to check if it's
overheating? and by cleaning do you mean like physically with alcohol or
something, or cleaning up files and things
[20:58] TeleportLisa: I mean physical cleaning. Is this a
Desktop or Laptop computer?
[20:58] laptop computer
[20:58] ExtraBob: weird.
[20:58] ey guys
[20:58] trism, the first one is a Siemens Gigaset USB 108
(129B:160C) and the second is an RTL 8167, using the 8192cu firmware
(0BDA:8167)
[20:58] I have a strange question if you feel up to the
challenge
[20:58] ExtraBob: What works on one version won't work on
another.
[20:58] TeleportLisa: Yea, the motherboard could be overheating.
[20:58] iwantfroyo is it possible that a dvd version of 11.04
would give more options
[20:59] ExtraBob: Try some more options.
[20:59] the Siemens stick is using AR5523 chipset, trism
[20:59] trism: dmesg you required:

[20:59] when my laptop running natty is connected to an
external vga display and i close the screen before unplugging the
display; when i reopen the screen, it shows only black and white vertical
stripes about 5px wide. the only way to resolve it is to close the screen
again, plug it in, open the screen and then un-plug it. how can i make
this not happen?
[20:59] ExtraBob: It's possible. I think that they have
different boot screens.
[20:59] Any idea how to make Ubuntu (10.04LTS) probe freshly my
graphics?
[20:59] what I'm trying to do is block access to my website,
based on certain urls or URL regex from specific IP addresses.
[20:59] iwantfroyo i can not try any options that is the
problem there for me is no way to try more option because there are no
options to choose from
[20:59] TeleportLisa: But that is just one of several
possibilities, but is the most-likely one.
[20:59] ExtraBob, you can still type them in.
[20:59] usr13: I seem to be able to burn cd's using either
CD/DVD creator (burn:///), brasero, and gnomebaker as the normal user. Is
there something else I need to install?
[20:59] I have a major problem
[21:00] ExtraBob: The Ubuntu Wiki has something on boot
commands. Wait a moment.

[21:01] celldee, still a no go, it keeps saying username and

to samba's config file. just changed the Workgroup to MSHOME and added
some info at the end to show the directory of where the files go to
[21:01] ExtraBob, You might want to write them down, though.
[21:01] can I recover that?
[21:01] GhostWolf: If you look in /var/log/syslog do you see
any error messages?

[21:01] Dinux17: good ting you spent a little of that .25M on

[21:02] Dinux17, I don't think that's something we can help
with. The only thing to check if you've deleted it, is that you haven't
emptied the trash folder on the server
[21:02] Hello all. I would like to publish a new version in a
PPA of a package for Natty, in lieu of a previous maintainer. There have
been no changes, and this is a source only package. What do I do?
[21:02] iwantfroyo i think possibly i will just install the
10.10 ubuntu version since i know it works :)
[21:02] anyone know why my lucid box is not autoconfiguring an
ipv6 address?
[21:02] If you have, good luck, cause your bank account
will have a massive $250k hole in it
[21:02] Dinux17: Since it has such a good budget, might
want to just pull the hd and send it to a data recovery lab
[21:02] im' getting an error message after login, i have no

[21:02] I don't have ufw installed, and I see the icmp6 router
advertisements :(
[21:02] libreoffice is opening my spreadsheet in the wrong
workspace. Anyone else seeing this happen?
[21:02] ExtraBob: No harm in that. I don't really like Natty
anyways. Running Lucid right now.
[21:02] Dinux17, I suspect you'll find that's gone then.
[21:03] genii-around, they are not happy with that, not at all
[21:03] As genii-around said, data recovery lab may be your
only option
[21:03] Dinux17: then it's probably something for data forensics
[21:03] celldee, im trying to connect to ubuntu from vista,
theres a file i need and its a huge file that is compressed and i can
connect with my xp os thats on another hdd on this pc, but that hdd is
smaller and doesn't allow me to copy it to xp
[21:04] are there no recovery prodecures or programs?
[21:04] like photorec?

[21:04] tvaldes: You say that you are able to burn cd's "using
either CD/DVD creator (burn:///), brasero, and gnomebaker" on THIS
computer?
[21:04] Dinux17: not really - the best solution for that kind of
thing is regular backups
[21:05] BarkingFish: from a quick search, it doesn't seem like
the ar5523 driver is included in the kernel yet (although the info I
found may be outdated), http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523 describes how to
build the work-in-progress one (may be better off with ndiswrapper if it
is working though)
[21:05] Moving parts that including cd/dvd/blu-ray drives go
out often
[21:05] You know after a while when you use your keyboard, keys
(especially the space bar) gets these shiny grease spots, that remain
even after you try to clean them. Why is that?
[21:05] backups where placed on the same server
[21:05] usr13: Yes, definitely on this computer in its current
state
[21:06] Or, if someone can recommend a more relevant channel,
that would also be helpful.

[21:06] youngin, the plastic warp because of the moisture from

[21:07] Yeah, but why won't it come off. It's like its atoms
have merged with the keyboard plastic, what the fuck?
[21:07] Hello, folks.
[21:07] youngin, no as I said, the plastic gets distorted because
the moisture disfigure it, it can't be cleaned off
[21:07] Safe_: oh i see.. plastic warp..
[21:07] thats fucked up
[21:07] gr33tings. i still have this problem: linux keeps
crashing, it cannot detect a hard drive, and windows never crashes like
this. after linux crashes, you have to use sysrq, then it runs POST and
it says no hard drive, reseat your hard drive to resolve. you manually
power off and reboot and it's fine.

where this would be configured?
[21:10] trism, usr13 Thanks (and some thanks to Puppy distro

[21:11] All I find to control it is the UI provided by the nm-
applet menu, which only lets me configure a few things such as IP
addresses and to what networks to connect automatically.

[21:13] What do I need to do when I install a new graphics card

[21:14] Hi, i'm watching the fstab man. There is write 'for
more documentation ... have a look at nfs(5)' . What does nfs(5) mean?
[21:14] yacc: is it nvidia or ati?
[21:14] ChogyDan, which driver? (Nvidia offers a choice of 3: nv
old opensource, nouveau new opensource, nvidia closed source)
[21:14] Brutus-: section 5 of the manpages (man 5 nfs)
[21:14] tvaldes: You have two DVD readers, first is the Sony the
other is Atapi So, which one is the DVD Writer?
[21:15] yacc: nvidia, closed source
[21:15] usr13: I know they both say "CD-ROM" and not DVD-RW or
whatever it is that indicates them as writers, but one definitely is a
writer, and the other is not. It even pops up with "Blank DVD-ROM" and
asks to write to it... Is there an easy way to figure out which is which?
I'm looking into it now. I appreciate all the help!
[21:15] ChogyDan, then nvidia-settings is your "tool of choice".
[21:15] tvaldes: Which one is it? The Sony? Or the other one?
[21:15] Brutus-: manpages are divided into sections. for
example, section 1 is user commmands, section 5 is config files, section
8 is admin commands.
[21:15] yacc: wait, are you answering my question?
[21:16] ChogyDan, in my case it's one last try to make Nouveau
work with my onboard 7050 nvidia, and afterwards if that does not work, a
PCIe ATI Radeon will be installed.
[21:16] POVaddct, when i write man 5 nfs on terminal says there
is not man for nfs :(
[21:16] ChogyDan, trying, at least by adding what I know.
[21:16] hello people
[21:16] usr13: I'm working on it.. The faces of the drives are
void of any branding.. Just the typical DVD-RW logos.
[21:16] :)
[21:16] tvaldes: You should be able to look at the front of the
drive. One of them should say Sony
[21:16] yacc: well, the kernel will detect drivers
automatically for all the opensource and installed stuff
[21:16] hello, is there a way to make a ubuntu mirror on a
centos ? (with rsync)
[21:17] tvaldes: Well, if you don't know, I don't either.
[21:17] usr13: It's the Sony DDU1615
[21:17] yacc: I am looking at the nvidia-settings prog, but I
don't see anything. Hence my need for help unfortunately :(
[21:17] ChogyDan, my current happyness level with nvidia is not
exactly high: nouveau relies on KMS, when the KMS noveau module gets
loaded, my LCDs go into powersaving mode, and to get them back from
blackness, I need to reboot.
[21:17] Brutus-: if you want to look up some nfs specific
mount options, look into man mount
[21:17] tvaldes: So the Sony is the burner. Right?
[21:18] yacc: try the closed source driver
[21:18] Brutus-: 'sudo apt-get install nfs-common' - then you'll
be able to do 'man nfs'
[21:18] ChogyDan, going with nv, by disabling nouveau KMS, I end
with a Xserver that uses only one LCD, and the other LCD displays nice
memory dump graphics, ...
[21:18] usr13: Sorry, jumped the gun there. NOT the sony...
The other is a LiteON 20x DVD burner.
[21:19] ChogyDan, and going with nvidia-173, now that's the
curious one, the box started to freeze since then :(
[21:19] tvaldes: So what is it you want to put on a one? An iso?
[21:19] Is someone familiar with a "sink callback failure"
related to pavucontrol?
[21:19] POVaddct, yeats, thank you
[21:20] ChogyDan, so I can choose nonworking LCD panels (Nouveau),
one working LCD panel (nv), or two working LCDs (nvidia) with random

[21:53] isaac: That's probably your problem. You should setup

translate to 8080 on your desktop.
[21:53] usr13, export DISPLAY=:0.0 && terminal ; The

DMZ. You're basically turning off your firewall for your desktop.
[21:53] zykotick9: He's done that now. He's just wondering
why it changed. Now I seem to remember the default terminal color for

[21:54] Is it not possible to install programs on a live usb

[21:54] travelton, Yeah I was planning on eventually just
forwarding the ports I needed... To do the 80 to 8080 thing, do you think
it'd be in Application rules? The Application Rules option is used to
open single or multiple ports in your firewall when the router senses
data sent to the Internet on a outgoing "Trigger" port or port range.
Special Applications rules apply to all computers on your internal
network.
[21:54] zykotick9: True. Is it something he should be
concerned about that the settings did change?

permanent

[21:58] My evince can't open djvu books. :( Any help?
[21:58] Bash, re:irssi - i'm not sure, where did you install
irssi to? That could certainly make a difference. Persistence is not
something I've used extensively, after initial testing i decided full
installs to USB where more useful for me personally.
[21:59] zykotick9: That sounds reasonable, was a long time ago I
tinkered with ubuntu, would it suffice to use a 4gb stick if I want some
smaller programs + some space for file keeping?
[21:59] Nevermind, I installed the debugging symbols and it
worked
[21:59] zykotick9: I just used apt-get install irssi and it stayed
after a reboot.
[22:00] travelton, Thanks :D! I had an application rule of 80
trigger and 8080 firewall, and it was causing the site to not let me
connect every other time I tried pretty much. Hopefully it was just cus
it was in the dmz or something though. And thanks for the blog link :D.
[22:00] isaac: Other way around... 80 should be the
firewall... Right?
[22:00] Bash, FYI ubuntu's requirements state 5GB minimum HD
space - i've done a lot of Ubuntu installs onto 4GB and have always run
out of space quickly (you could of course use Minimal install media and
make Ubuntu much smaller, but that's not the typical desktop anymore)
[22:01] travelton, it opens the firewall port when it senses the
trigger port, I think. So it's how I had it, right?
[22:01] zykotick9: I wouldn't need the extras, as media players or
compiz or anything, just the barebones, but if you say it's too small I
will get a 16gb stick instead
[22:02] isaac: Oh. That's why... Application Trigger doesn't
sound right.
[22:03] Bash, 4GB too small for standard Desktop, but you
COULD use minimal to install a smaller environment - i use 8GB quite
comfortable for my Virtual Machines
[22:03] isaac: I have to run, but I'll be happy to help you
further. If you DM me, I'll send you my email address.
[22:03] zykotick9: Right, I'll get 16gb just to avoid problems.
[22:04] travelton, What else could it be? and I disconnected cus
I was playing with the router and it had to reset XD
[22:04] hey, if I want firefox to use VLC media player for all
my files, how do I do that?
[22:04] zykotick9: One last question, as I will use this live
ubuntu only to retrieve files from broken windows disks, is it possible
to transfer files from this one to a seperate windows disk?
[22:05] Bash, i don't see why not...
[22:05] isaac: I have to run, but I'll be happy to help you
further. If you DM me, I'll send you my email address.
[22:05] zykotick9: Perfect. Thanks for your help!

[22:11] coraxx: i'm just guessing but you might want to find

[22:11] coraxx: i guess you could start by checking out who
is the package maintainer for the ubuntu package, then google yourself
upstream to some sources, where you can commit your code
[22:11] at least thats why I would do
[22:11] LearnUbuntu, good luck. I'm one of those people that
try to avoid Proprietary or non-distro based installs. I've also never
had too much use for java, so little personal experinece. Hope you get
it all working.
[22:12] zykotick9, no worries!! thanks
[22:13] zykotick9: I have no idea what ntp is but that's when
the boot process stops. That's the last message I get. But I messed my
system up, trying to switch from Ubuntu to LUbuntu. Any ideas? How could
I repair it?
[22:13] IGITIHI, ntp - Network Time Protocol - it autosets
the time
[22:14] IGITIHI: IMO it's not ntp's fault. Maybe your
root partition couldn't be mounted (or have errors), so a critical system
component couldn't run. Try to start in failsafe mode, or, better: boot
with a live-cd and verify your filesystems. Beware what you do ;-)
[22:14] tomodachi, aj00200 thanx both :-) .. I was looking for a
way to learn how to do it (I can program of course). I wanted to know if
there was like a "scanner template" that I could develop on, so I can add
drivers for unsupported scanners ...by maybe reverse-engineering (I have
found a beta version of a tool that can monitor the USB traffic in
Microsoft Windows) ... if there is a way to...
[22:15] ...utilise that info into a driver, that would be great
:-)
[22:15] IGITIHI, the real stopage "probably" comes right
after that and you might not see it? Would be my guess. If it's just
NTP i would imagine there is a timeout, and after that occured, the
system would boot. Good luck.
[22:15] im' getting an error message after login, i have no
idea to which process it belongs to, is there any way for that ? the

[22:17] Can parted deal with ext4 filesystems?
[22:18] Somelauw, i'm SURE
[22:18] aj00200: ...they talk of an API, which sounds VERY
interesting. I just wish there were more details outthere on the web
about how to create USB drivers in Linux for hardware that is not
supported but you own....so you might be able to get reverse-enginering
data from.
[22:18] And vfat?
[22:18] IGITIHI: BUT the 1st thing to verify is: your
BIOS system date/time. It already happened to me that a faulty bios
date/time caused the ext4 filesystem to not being able to be mounted, NOR
repaired (which 'd be dangerous!).
[22:18] Somelauw, i'm NOT SURE - but Yes
[22:18] zykotick9: yeah i guessed that far, but why is it
mounting on startup.. i can't find anything in fstab for taht..

[22:21] hi all, i still need help. in my ubuntu 11.04 desktop
performance are low. Can i install KDE or do you think i'll same results?
In your experience is kde faster than gnome ?
[22:21] coraxx: first, you need a way to get the USB data. You
mentioned a windows tool, you will need this. I am looking for a way to
do this on linux now
[22:22] is there any bash operator that is opposite to the "*"?
so instead of listing all mp3 files like "ls *.mp3" list everything
except mp3 files
[22:22] coraxx: it appears that wireshark can capture USB data
[22:22] tab1293: ls -l * | grep -v -e ".mp3"
[22:22] aj00200: to tool I was reffered to was this one -->
http://www.wingmanteam.com/usbsnoopy/
[22:23] zeus_, gnome is faster than kde. Are you using Unity?
[22:23] Brutus-, don't try to use umask like that? umask
determines the default file creation permissions for all system files
(i'm not even sure you can use it on a per-folder basis - i believe that
requires ACLs) - good luck
[22:24] Brutus-: Unity and gnome seems to be the same (probably
unity is a little bit slower)
[22:24] coraxx: so, depending on how much you can understand
about the protocol that is used (wireshark should help with that) you can
move between windows and linux coding as you go if you don't understand
something or doing a lot at once
[22:24] aj00200: yes, but If the data was already in Linux then
there wouldn't be a problem ;-) .... to see the device work proberly it
will have to go the MS Windows, right ?
[22:24] zykotick9, i used umask because chmod didn't get
effect.
[22:24] tab1293: 'ls --hide *mp3' (man is your friend ;-
)))))
[22:24] coraxx: yes, but it always helps to have a cross-
platform alternative
[22:24] zykotick9, What can i do?
[22:24] aj00200: *go the = go through
[22:24] tab1293: you can also use find with "!"

[22:30] szal, I added two rows to /etc/fstab to automount
partitions
[22:31] szal, FYI in your statement you should technically
replace your word Unix for POSIX

[22:32] zykotick9: whatever, I don't think we need to be so nit-
picky about this ;)
[22:32] :D
[22:33] hello peoples, anyone seen a situation with an ldap
config where the root user can do username lookups, but non-root users
cannot?
[22:33] zykotick9, thanks. by doing this "sudo apt-get
install openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-lib icedtea-plugin
openjdk-6-jre-zero" the "Translucent" works without any problem.
[22:33] LearnUbuntu, NICE - that's good to hear actually.
Big thanks for the update :)
[22:33] onicrom: What is a username lookup?
[22:34] user13 id
[22:34] or getent passwd
[22:34] is it save to resize linux home and root partitons?
[22:34] LearnUbuntu, if you run into any shortcoming with
OpenJDK/JRE you should report them as bugs. Now more then ever,
OpenJDK/JRE is important!
[22:35] boba__: I would classify it as a little risky but doable.
Backup your data.
[22:35] zykotick9, i was tired with Fedora yum openJDK
Translucent did not ever worked. But with Ubuntu worked like charm, i am
very happy with this.
[22:35] Thanks again for the direction.
[22:36] usr13: does it make a difference if you enlarge them or
shrink them... I personally want to enalrage them since I am running out
of space...
[22:37] LearnUbuntu, may I PM you?
[22:37] Sure zykotick9
[22:37] boba__: Shrinking is a little riskier I would say, but
only because you may bump the end of the data storage area.
[22:38] usr13: thanks
[22:38] how we can register our nick for freenode server use
[22:39] boba__: I would venture to say that you'll have something
well in excess of a 95% success rate.
[22:39] I followed the ubuntu tutorial to automount partitions
at boot but when i digit mount -a to check if everything is ok nothing
happens and partitions don't get mounted. What do i wrong?
[22:39] boba__: I would call it pretty safe, but any time you
start changing the partition tables, there is a risk.
[22:39] usr13, another interesting thing, my own user is both
local and in ldap, when i type 'id' i can see the gid numbers but no
names, so its querying ldap
[22:41] usr13: do you by any chance know how much space
virtualbox plus windows xp on it would require? I currently have only 2.7
G on my linux root partition ... virtualbox will be host on my ubuntu...
and want to be able to run windows xp in it
[22:41] !register > Malang
[22:41] Malang, please see my private message
[22:42] usr13: on the other hand i have a dual boot with both
windows and ubuntu where the windows has 12 G partition that I might
delete it and give it to the linux root and home
[22:44] boba__: I'm pretty sure 2.7G is not enough. 12G or more
will suffice, (i think...)
[22:45] usr13: so I should add these 12 G to the root partition
right?
[22:46] usr13: the home partition is irrelelvant for the virtual
box memory requirements
[22:46] usr13: ?
[22:46] Hi: I'm looking for help getting sound out of my
laptop's headphone jack. #alsa is not responding to my query. Anyone up
to help or have suggestions for other forums for support?
[22:47] What's the easiest way to reuse an encrypted home after
a fresh install? I'd rather not overwrite /home during a re-install.
[22:47] benzipperer: Do your speakers work?
[22:48] supNow: thanks. yep. internal speaker is fine.
headphone jack used to work fine on 10.04. I did a fresh install of 11.04
and am having trouble with headphones only.
[22:48] supNow: sorry, yes, the external speaker (connected
to the headphone jack) works fine on another machine.
[22:48] benzipperer, do the headphone not work? or do they
not turn the speakers off?
[22:49] benzipperer: generally in a laptop the headphone jack
trips the speakers off
[22:49] zykotick9: when I plug into the headphone jack I
get no output to headphones and no output to speakers. So the speaker
sound is turned off.
[22:49] benzipperer: have you tried other headphones?
[22:50] benzipperer: check the mixer levels and make sure the
'phones jack is not muted or low
[22:50] benzipperer, if the speakers turn off automatically
when you plug the headphones in - you really need to check that the
headphone are not muted, or turned down!
[22:50] and check that alsa hasnt done its usual trick of being
utterly wacky on anything but the original developers computers
[22:50] mneptok: that may be the problem. unforutnately I
can't find any options in either alsamixer or sound preferences for
headphone jack
[22:50] mneptok, +1
[22:51] lmao @ linxeh
[22:51] mneptok: it's likely to be called something else, like
"door bell output"
[22:51] zykotick9: how do I check the muting or levels of
the headphone?
[22:51] mneptok: or "subwoofer"
[22:51] rofl
[22:51] linxeh: uhhhh .... wha'?
[22:51] linxeh: please try to follow along.
[22:51] right click your sound icon and click prefrences
[22:52] oops sorry wrong guy :)
[22:52] supNow: OK. now what do I look for?
[22:52] linxeh: the person you *want* to address may be
labelled "doorbell" or "subwoofer"
[22:53] mneptok: not at all, it was benzipperer. I was
suggesting that most distros, ubuntu included, frequently end up with
alsa devices misconfigured such that the headphones appear as the
"subwoofer" output, or the "doorbell" output.

which is on the top like a Mac?
[22:56] Would anyone be willing to help me with an ssh issue?
[22:57] supNow: thanks. I see the headphones in ALSA
mixer.. they are up at 100.
[22:57] supNow: I also see in sound preferences -> output -
> connector, an option for analog headphones.. when I select that the
internal speaker turns off. I still get no output to headphones.
[22:59] supNow: I notice if that I'm listening to the
headphones while I plug them into the laptop I get a small, initial burst
of sound, but then nothing.
[22:59] benzipperer: I wouldn't be able to technically help
furthur, but it sounds like hardware (headphones) rather than the alsa
mixer being it works when the headphones are unplugged.
[22:59] supNow: so I guess I'm getting some initial burst
of output to headphones but it disappears. kind of weird.
[23:00] sometimes the jacks are not compatible
=== jrib is now known as Guest8135

[23:01] hello, i've got 2 questions
[23:01] michael_p, yeah, I did it once, but it wasn't pretty
afterwards
[23:01] supNow: OK, what you say makes sense except that
this worked yesterday with 10.04 and now not 11.04. I will try to find
another external cable/set of headphones to see if that coincidentally is
now incompatible.
[23:02] miraenvigado, and they would be?

[23:03] i want to install or open the gnome printer

[23:03] aj00200: I would just use easy_install or pip
[23:03] in xubuntu 10.04
[23:03] miraenvigado, does KDE not have a printer manager?
[23:04] supNow: clean install.
[23:04] i dont know
[23:04] benzipperer: strange, I experienced sound issues myself
after an upgrade but worked fine on same system with clean install
[23:05] i tried to find it but i didnt find anything
[23:05] benzipperer: I would go back to hardware or wait for
someone better knowledged
[23:05] supNow: well, I really appreciate your help,
thanks!
[23:05] np! :)
[23:06] See if you can find this: Application Launcher ->
Applications -> System -> Printing
[23:06] I'm not sure because I don't use KDE though
[23:07] i could
[23:07] but it isn't gnome printer admin
[23:07] is it better to have album artwork embedd or just
stored as cover.jpg?

[23:08] jrib: ok, I'll see if it is there
[23:08] and what else
[23:09] melhuishj what did you do to uninstall gnome
[23:09] supNow: one additional note that I'm not sure
matters: when I have internal speaker sound, and then plug in headphones,
I get no sound (either through headphones or internal speaker) but the
alsamixer levels don't visibly change. when I select Analog Headphones in
unity sound preferences -> output ->connector , the alsamixer "Front"
levels get muted (and still no audible sound anywhere).
=== billy is now known as protozoa
[23:11] Fair enough....ummm, the only sure way I can think of
to get the gnome print manager is to install the entire gnome
environment...though let me search for a minute and see if I can find the
exact program...
[23:12] ok thanks
[23:12] michael_p, if you want to get rid of Gnome entirely,
you could do something like apt-get remove gnome*, but I wouldn't
recommend that...would installing Kubuntu be an option?
[23:12] miraenvigado: system-config-printer-gnome

wondering if it was possible to make it my desktop background and still
be live?

[23:16] miraenvigado: didn't you say further up that you want the

[23:17] thank to all
[23:17] michael_p, I understand, let me check for a safer
solution real quick.
[23:17] miraenvigado, it might still install, it runs on GTk
after all and I believe Xubuntu does too, but I'm not positive
[23:18] I'm trying to get filesharing to work between to
computers running 11.04. I can navigate the shared folders in nautilus,
but when I try to open them, I get Failed to open "folder_name", Failed
to mount windows share. In the terminal, "smbclient
//192.168.0.100/folder_name --no-pass" returns "tree connect failed:
NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME". Anyone else having a similar condition?
[23:19] Found it:
http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/
[23:19] michael_p, try this: apt-get remove gnome gnome-utils
gnome-core gnome-desktop-data gnome-desktop-environment
[23:19] But before you do, make sure KDE is up and running
[23:19] Because that probably will remove gnome entirely
[23:20] On that note, why not just keep them both?
[23:21] hi can anybody tell me how to mount a iso file with gmount
[23:21] You should be able to log out and then select KDE as
your DE, if that works then you're ok. If not, you need to make sure KDE
is installed before you remove gnome, otherwise you may be stuck in the
lovely world of command line interface only
[23:25] thats ok i need to get use to comands mirgrating from
windows
[23:26] Yeah, but theres a difference between getting used to
them and being stuck in them. If KDE is in fact installed, then you
should be ok to execute the above command
[23:27] Michael didn't like Unity? XD
[23:27] melhuishj: you do realize that leaving both installed
won't hurt anything
[23:27] AlessonZaire for the first time in my life I wanted to
punch the screen as opposed to person next to me
[23:27] Indeed, and I suggested that earlier, but since he
didn't comment on it I assum ehe intends to remove it
[23:28] nCrazed excuse me?
[23:28] [00:28:42] Michael didn't like Unity? XD

for no reason so please feel free to punch your screen as much as you
like :)

[23:32] i configured the connection...
[23:32] but nothing happens

whenever possible (like in this case)
[23:39] jrib i know how to click system manage add programs
but not how to find this specific version
[23:39] Godzy: you shouldn't have to do that - there should be an
icon in the upper right that you can click
[23:40] Guest87731: install open office using "add programs".
There are several language packs for open office as well, just find the
swedish one
[23:40] jrib where do i find the add programs is it in the
ubuntu software ceter window?

it installed an older us version which is not what i want

language you want

do you want the OS in english and only OpenOffice in swedish?

office in swedish
[23:43] usr13 i found the synaptic manager
[23:43] Guest87731: In Snaptic Package Manager you should fine
libreoffice

actions from my touchpad
[23:57] how can I look into this ?
[23:57] Dice-Man: just forward port 22 from your router to the
server running ssh.
[23:57] Pici: how to do this ?
[23:57] Pici: i don't really grasp what port forwarding is, i
think i need some scheme
[23:57] usr13 i closed synaptic manage and then the code
worked
[23:58] Dice-Man: Its not really within the scope of this channel,
but you may want to take a look at http://portforward.com
[23:58] Any ideas on how to copy over my Ubuntu data to a new
partition without re-installing?
[23:58] usr13 i dont see anything new in my menu and the old
open office is still in english and the isntallationw as very fast i dont
think it worked
[23:59] yeats: I put that value in, and yet the error still
exists. And doesnt seem to recognize that I've updated it.
[23:59] !movehome |mitchell
[23:59] mitchell: Your home directory is where all of your
personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a
separate partition, please see:
