[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] oic, then I suggest a blank keyring password [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] it will then not bother you for one [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Will it pop-up and I have to press enter? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] no, it won't bother you [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] Thanks [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i always set blank password, it moans but then again you can link your password to pam and get the same effect [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] unity [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Thanks again! [EoT]
[3 days 08:40:00] [SoT] or in .gnome etc? [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] is there one in ~/.config [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] found it in .config. Thanks a bunch! [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] also try: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz [EoT]	[29 days 16:35:00] [SoT] afroman I said use traceroute6 if you want. I never said "use www.google.com' [EoT]
[0 days 00:04:00] [SoT] not sure, they both use ICMP [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] mhmm [EoT]
[25 days 00:20:00] [SoT] no idea [EoT]	[28 days 07:52:00] [SoT] haha [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] typo [EoT] [0 days 00:04:00] [SoU] one will be the one running, you can use the libs from the other DEs if they are installed (allowing you to run KDE apps in Gnome etc) [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes I knew that :) [EoT]
[0 days 01:01:00] [SoT] hibernate needs the same amount as RAM to store the RAM contents in [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] but it's rare that anybody has 8Gb of ram filled. [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I'm just informing of the rule of thumb, thats all. A little education [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] and in retort to 'older rule of thumb': https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq was last updated 26th November 2010 [EoU] [0 days 01:55:00] [SoU] default fs in Lucid and Maverick is Ext4 [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] There is some program that lets windows read ext2 (but I don't think it's very stable) [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] true but its not accessible from windows with the app from fs-driver.org [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ah, thanks [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I believe its being worked on but I personally think microsoft should get their ass in gear [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] who cares what they do [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] folks who dualboot [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] haha, not me :) [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I certainly don't use it [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I was just commenting on the readability of the sentence :) [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] it makes sense... [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] forget it [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] surely the nomodeset option is good to use if its a black screen at boot [EoT]	[5 days 17:47:00] [SoT] of course :) [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] not sure, package.ubuntu.com will say, if the version of the dependancies of a package are not met, it will be 'held back' until they are [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] It's from a PPA. It's not going to show up in pacakges.ubuntu.com [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] then deps will need to be met [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] Please explain how to find the dependencies of firefox 4 when it is from a PPA [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] if you use apt-get it will tell you what it needs [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am not doing it [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] not doing what? [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Galaxor is actually installing firefox4 I was helping him [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sure it can [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] genewitch firefox4 can't be installing in 10.04 ?! [EoT]
[4 days 20:18:00] [SoT] nmcli ;) [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] thanks :) [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] personally I use wicd in cli, the curses UI is niiiice [EoT]	[0 days 21:12:00] [SoT] He just explained how that isn't working. [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] well, qt [EoT] [1 days 17:04:00] [SoU] he ;) [EoU]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] I don't think restart is a thing anymore [EoT]
[18 days 22:34:00] [SoT] df -h only shows partition space ;) [EoT] [2 days 00:13:00] [SoU] I believe you need the output file name [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/08/tip-of-day-resize-images-from-cli-using.html [EoU]	[8 days 06:43:00] [SoT] ? His wifi isn't working/ [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i was on about the boot order shizzle [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] oh :) [EoT]
[14 days 19:46:00] [SoT] user has a pci pata controller and it isn't working under ubuntu, its worth the price of a few pints of beer and s/he doesn't want to return it and get a friendlier one [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] mhmm. Thanks :P [EoT]
[4 days 06:05:00] [SoT] aptitude isn't in a default install, so will cause an error/confused user [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] true :( [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] gotcha [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] :) [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] looks like you got it dude :) [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] what was the magic bullet? [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] It's not fixed yet. We're trying to connect to wifi via cli. He used nomodeset to fix the blank screen problem. [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] nice [EoT]	[9 days 03:49:00] [SoT] i agree... [EoT]
[56 days 20:16:00] [SoT] add -C too ;) [EoT]	[79 days 12:46:00] [SoT] It's a ppa on a subdomain of ubuntu.com surely that's ok [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] only packages from the official ubuntu repos (that you get in default software centre etc) are supported here [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] it's a shell [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] you can install LXDE, then run Unity on that if you want [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] cool [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] if the deb has dependancies, they wil be dealt with from the repos [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] aaah [EoT]
[BOS] hi crunchbang666 ! [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] hey [EoT]
[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] still no wireless? [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] from the live cd it picks up the wireless networks no problem, from install it doesnt ? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] some cards are blacklisted - work from live CD but not install - had that problem once [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] any way around this problem? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] first start with the card and chip [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] sometimes its a matter of blacklisting and installing the right driver [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] what kind of card was it? [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i forgot the model i'll find it on google, 2 secs [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] someone else was just here with that same card... [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] do you know if it is rev 2 card? [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] not a clue, is there a terminal command i can use to get a full product description of the wireless card whilst it is being seen from the live cd? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] lspci [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] thanks [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you have the same as bu [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] & bu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] you using 9.04 too? [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i have 9,04 ubuntu and crunchbang ...same problem with both. [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - probably same kernal [EoT]	[0 days 00:04:00] [SoT] i did that last night and got pan0 also....right now that wont work because im on the live cd and it is finding the card and networks [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] from the live cd - go into wireless network setup (Administartion > Wireless) and see if you can see anything [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] im on the crunchbang live cd at the second and i dont have that GUI option [EoT]
[0 days 00:18:00] [SoT] you have a dell mini, bu what about you? [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] no probs :) brb 2 mins though, phone call :( [EoT]
[0 days 00:13:00] [SoT] and bu: Are you using the module iwl3945? [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] backports is a repo not an app [EoU]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] i have a wired connection and synaptic yes :) [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you have synaptic and an ethernet connection on your dell right now? [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] cool that will make it easier [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] awaiting command ^^ [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] fire up synaptic > system > Admin > Synaptic [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] done [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] we are looking for linux-backports-modules-jaunty [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] just updating package list [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] after it updates, go to settings in the menu bar and choose repositories [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] after typing linux-backports-modules-jaunty into the search, it appears i have every single package already installed on my system, they're all marked. [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] we have to enable the repository [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok, do you have the name? i've enabled reps in synaptic before [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] let me know when you have added that line or found it [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] you need to add or fine linux-backports-modules-jaunty [EoU] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] if you don't see it in the list, click new and type it in [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i was looking already, i googled "add linux-backports-modules-jaunty" but nothin commin up [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] let me find a screenshot of where you should be.... [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu - just a little way down the screen [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] look for "Ubuntu Software Tab" [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] im there [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] we are trying to add the software sources for linux-backports-modules-jaunty [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] maybe it would be faster from command line [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] I'lll give it a shot... [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] can you open a terminal and type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list (it will ask you for your password) [EoU]	[0 days 00:03:00] [SoT] sorry had to answer the door... i did what you said, it worked [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] are you looking at the app nano with /etc/apt/source.file open in it? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] it brought up all the info in the terminal... it lists the current repositories i have enabled [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes, move to the bottom of the list because we have to type one in [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] is there a command to open up this list in GUI ? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] gksudo gedit /etc/apt/source.list (type from command line) [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] the text editor has opened the file source.list but there is no content [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] close it - I think you made a typo [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i will copy and paste the command you type. [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] if you don't see it, we will make it [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] cool. Now go down the file - you may see a backports section already [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i did make an error i typed source instead of sources ... ok so i have it open :) [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] we will add this to the backports section [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] ok ? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] find the section of the file that showed "backports" [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] im there [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the line should start with ####Backports#### [EoT]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] http://pastebin.com/m13b8385e [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you in GB? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yeah [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] okay cool - this is easy [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] see the line # deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-backports main restricted universe multiverse [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i hope you mean great britain, not some computing term :P [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] all you have to do is delete the "#" character from the beginning of the line and save the file [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] ok [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] go ahead and do them both. [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] just the deb or the deb-src line too? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] once you have closed out, we need to go to the command line and use modeprobe [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] im there [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] sudo modprobe iwl3945 [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] nothing happened it just took me to the next command line. [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] thats what it was supposed to do [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] now type "lsmod" and see if you see iwl3945 [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] iwl3945 97912 0 [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] almost there :) [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] I forgot the command to restart networking.... [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] will me being connected to a wired connection interfere with this at all? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] you need to replub and restart networking but I cannot recall the command [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] replub/unplug [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] yes [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] oh I mean unplug ethernet - you have a PCI card right? [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] plug in card? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] unplug ethernet and plug in card and then type that [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] yes, just unplug ethernet and type that command and cross your figers [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] confirm the command again? :::/etc/init.d/network restart ? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sudo /etc/init.d/network restart [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] you won't see anything [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] type "ifconfig" without quotes [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] you should see wlan0 [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] no wireless lan just eth0 and lo [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] type "sudo iwlist scan" and see if it returns anything? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] returns lo ... eth0 and pan0 ... and states none of the interfaces support scanning. [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] okay, something still not right [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] maybe a reboot is in order? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] it couldn't hurt [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] lead the way [EoT]
[0 days 00:05:00] [SoT] your welcome :) [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you are indeed a god. lol thanks for the help [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] any luck? [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] yay!!!! [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i dont understand what we did that made it work, i dont recall downloading any drivers or doing anything except restarting the networking protocols? [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] we added the software source "backports" jaunty, which in turn enabled iwl3945 once we used modprobe to load that driver [EoT]	[0 days 00:33:00] [SoT] still around? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes :) [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yay... ok so i just installed proprietary driver for my nvidia card, rebooted and we're back to the same problem ... no wireless lol [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] uh oh.... [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] can you remind me of the commands i used last time? i'll save them in a text file and see if using those and rebooting solves the problem. [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] in a terminal type : lsmod and look for iwl3945 [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] it's there [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] restart networking with: /etc/init.d/networking restart [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] done [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] any luck? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] still no wireless option in Network Manager. [EOS]
[BOS] Does an ybody know anything about Banshee whatsoever? [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] sure [EoT]
[0 days 00:03:00] [SoT] - any idea, since you seem to be a heavy banshee user? [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] id tags you mean in the mp3's? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - yeah. Banshee organizes my music by ID tag and a lot of my music doesnt have ID tags... I just want it to import my music "as is"... the way its already organized in my home folder [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] don't know [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - why is banshee being a beeyotch to control though? I just want it to look at my music as is - like amarok did................ [EoT]	[15 days 20:38:00] [SoT] this channel is for stable versions [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - I know, but if you take notice to what I siad, Ubuntu and Debian are the same in terms of troubleshooting wireless, and as we speak I am downloading Ubuntu to install on the iBook. But, thanks anyway. [EoT]	[32 days 11:46:00] [SoT] You probably don't need AVG in Ubuntu [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] - I have an infected flash drive with conficker on it and I'm trying to zap it from my Ubuntu machine. I use this flash drive at work (windows network) [EoT]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] Can't you just remove whatever is on it and start over? [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - No. I cant. [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] - I have a ton of stuff on there from work. I recently put a lot of new stuff on it and haven't updated my backup. (I rsync my flash drive contents to my ubuntu machine for redundancy) [EoU]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am not sure if any of the Linux tools can remove Conflicter, but I think there's something for Windows that can [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - yeah, but every time I plug it in to a windows machine, it gets instantly infected. [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] it won't infect your Ubuntu install though, since it's a Windows virus [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - I know. That's why I'm trying to scan it from within Ubuntu. [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] you can probably copy the files to your Ubuntu install, and then remove everything on the USB stick [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - and then copy the files back and restore the virus. Right? [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] maybe, but probably not, I mean if the files open up ok in Ubuntu, then they are probably ok [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] - the files open fine, but conficker itself is a file soemwhere on my fl ash drive. [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] right, well you copy/move the files that you know about, the ones that are your data, and then format the drive [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] - that's what we're actively working on, but when you have 4 people for 1,500 computers, youc an only go so fast. [EoT]	[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] and if you got it from your job in the first place, they should sort out their computer security [EoT]
[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] - we have a network sniffer in place which actually pinpointed the exact computers that are infected, but I only got word of this around 7pm and I left at 6pm. [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I see that's your job ok, maybe also in the future some Desktop Linux can be used there, so that problems like this probably don't happen [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - When you have educational software that a truckload of money was spent on when it's Windows based, it's very hard to convince a board of old timers that an operating system less popular than Windows is the way to go. [EoT]	[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] it's a nasty one by things I read before, I think you might have to format anything that is infected by it, to make sure it is completly gone, plus I think there is a tool for WIndows to remove it [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - Yeah, we already have a list of the infected computers, whcih total count is about two dozen out of the 1,500 sy stems we have on the network. [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] - We have tools to remove it at work. It's just we didn't know where to start before. Now we know. [EoU]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sometimes programs don't just add them selves to the menu when you install them into Ubuntu [EoT]
[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - Unfortunately, I know. Quite stupid, but something I've tolerated since I've been on Ubuntu. [EoT]	[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] re installing the program, or logging out of Ubuntu usaully takes care of, apparantly you already know, plus you could launch it using the name on the command line, as I expect again you already knokw [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] oic, then I suggest a blank keyring password [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] it will then not bother you for one [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Will it pop-up and I have to press enter? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] no, it won't bother you [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] Thanks [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i always set blank password, it moans but then again you can link your password to pam and get the same effect [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] unity [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Thanks again! [EoT]

[3 days 08:40:00] [SoT] or in .gnome etc? [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] is there one in ~/.config [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] found it in .config. Thanks a bunch! [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] also try: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz [EoT]

[29 days 16:35:00] [SoT] afroman I said use traceroute6 if you want. I never said "use www.google.com' [EoT]

[0 days 00:04:00] [SoT] not sure, they both use ICMP [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] mhmm [EoT]

[25 days 00:20:00] [SoT] no idea [EoT]

[28 days 07:52:00] [SoT] haha [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] typo [EoT] [0 days 00:04:00] [SoU] one will be the one running, you can use the libs from the other DEs if they are installed (allowing you to run KDE apps in Gnome etc) [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes I knew that :) [EoT]

[0 days 01:01:00] [SoT] hibernate needs the same amount as RAM to store the RAM contents in [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] but it's rare that anybody has 8Gb of ram filled. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I'm just informing of the rule of thumb, thats all. A little education [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] and in retort to 'older rule of thumb': https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq was last updated 26th November 2010 [EoU] [0 days 01:55:00] [SoU] default fs in Lucid and Maverick is Ext4 [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] There is some program that lets windows read ext2 (but I don't think it's very stable) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] true but its not accessible from windows with the app from fs-driver.org [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ah, thanks [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I believe its being worked on but I personally think microsoft should get their ass in gear [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] who cares what they do [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] folks who dualboot [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] haha, not me :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I certainly don't use it [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I was just commenting on the readability of the sentence :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] it makes sense... [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] forget it [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] surely the nomodeset option is good to use if its a black screen at boot [EoT]

[5 days 17:47:00] [SoT] of course :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] not sure, package.ubuntu.com will say, if the version of the dependancies of a package are not met, it will be 'held back' until they are [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] It's from a PPA. It's not going to show up in pacakges.ubuntu.com [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] then deps will need to be met [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] Please explain how to find the dependencies of firefox 4 when it is from a PPA [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] if you use apt-get it will tell you what it needs [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am not doing it [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] not doing what? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] Galaxor is actually installing firefox4 I was helping him [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sure it can [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] genewitch firefox4 can't be installing in 10.04 ?! [EoT]

[4 days 20:18:00] [SoT] nmcli ;) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] thanks :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] personally I use wicd in cli, the curses UI is niiiice [EoT]

[0 days 21:12:00] [SoT] He just explained how that isn't working. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] well, qt [EoT] [1 days 17:04:00] [SoU] he ;) [EoU]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] I don't think restart is a thing anymore [EoT]

[18 days 22:34:00] [SoT] df -h only shows partition space ;) [EoT] [2 days 00:13:00] [SoU] I believe you need the output file name [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/08/tip-of-day-resize-images-from-cli-using.html [EoU]

[8 days 06:43:00] [SoT] ? His wifi isn't working/ [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i was on about the boot order shizzle [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] oh :) [EoT]

[14 days 19:46:00] [SoT] user has a pci pata controller and it isn't working under ubuntu, its worth the price of a few pints of beer and s/he doesn't want to return it and get a friendlier one [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] mhmm. Thanks :P [EoT]

[4 days 06:05:00] [SoT] aptitude isn't in a default install, so will cause an error/confused user [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] true :( [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] gotcha [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] looks like you got it dude :) [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] what was the magic bullet? [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] It's not fixed yet. We're trying to connect to wifi via cli. He used nomodeset to fix the blank screen problem. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] nice [EoT]

[9 days 03:49:00] [SoT] i agree... [EoT]

[56 days 20:16:00] [SoT] add -C too ;) [EoT]

[79 days 12:46:00] [SoT] It's a ppa on a subdomain of ubuntu.com surely that's ok [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] only packages from the official ubuntu repos (that you get in default software centre etc) are supported here [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] it's a shell [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] you can install LXDE, then run Unity on that if you want [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] cool [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] if the deb has dependancies, they wil be dealt with from the repos [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] aaah [EoT]

[BOS] hi crunchbang666 ! [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] hey [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] still no wireless? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] from the live cd it picks up the wireless networks no problem, from install it doesnt ? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] some cards are blacklisted - work from live CD but not install - had that problem once [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] any way around this problem? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] first start with the card and chip [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] sometimes its a matter of blacklisting and installing the right driver [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] what kind of card was it? [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i forgot the model i'll find it on google, 2 secs [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] someone else was just here with that same card... [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] do you know if it is rev 2 card? [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] not a clue, is there a terminal command i can use to get a full product description of the wireless card whilst it is being seen from the live cd? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] lspci [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] thanks [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you have the same as bu [EoT] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] & bu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] you using 9.04 too? [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i have 9,04 ubuntu and crunchbang ...same problem with both. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - probably same kernal [EoT]

[0 days 00:04:00] [SoT] i did that last night and got pan0 also....right now that wont work because im on the live cd and it is finding the card and networks [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] from the live cd - go into wireless network setup (Administartion > Wireless) and see if you can see anything [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] im on the crunchbang live cd at the second and i dont have that GUI option [EoT]

[0 days 00:18:00] [SoT] you have a dell mini, bu what about you? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] no probs :) brb 2 mins though, phone call :( [EoT]

[0 days 00:13:00] [SoT] and bu: Are you using the module iwl3945? [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] backports is a repo not an app [EoU]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] i have a wired connection and synaptic yes :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you have synaptic and an ethernet connection on your dell right now? [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] cool that will make it easier [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] awaiting command ^^ [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] fire up synaptic > system > Admin > Synaptic [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] done [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] we are looking for linux-backports-modules-jaunty [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] just updating package list [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] after it updates, go to settings in the menu bar and choose repositories [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] after typing linux-backports-modules-jaunty into the search, it appears i have every single package already installed on my system, they're all marked. [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] we have to enable the repository [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] ok, do you have the name? i've enabled reps in synaptic before [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] let me know when you have added that line or found it [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] you need to add or fine linux-backports-modules-jaunty [EoU] [0 days 00:02:00] [SoU] if you don't see it in the list, click new and type it in [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i was looking already, i googled "add linux-backports-modules-jaunty" but nothin commin up [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] let me find a screenshot of where you should be.... [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu - just a little way down the screen [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] look for "Ubuntu Software Tab" [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] im there [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] we are trying to add the software sources for linux-backports-modules-jaunty [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] maybe it would be faster from command line [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] I'lll give it a shot... [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] can you open a terminal and type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list (it will ask you for your password) [EoU]

[0 days 00:03:00] [SoT] sorry had to answer the door... i did what you said, it worked [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] are you looking at the app nano with /etc/apt/source.file open in it? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] it brought up all the info in the terminal... it lists the current repositories i have enabled [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes, move to the bottom of the list because we have to type one in [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] is there a command to open up this list in GUI ? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] gksudo gedit /etc/apt/source.list (type from command line) [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] the text editor has opened the file source.list but there is no content [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] close it - I think you made a typo [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i will copy and paste the command you type. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] if you don't see it, we will make it [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] cool. Now go down the file - you may see a backports section already [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i did make an error i typed source instead of sources ... ok so i have it open :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] we will add this to the backports section [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] ok ? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] find the section of the file that showed "backports" [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] im there [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] the line should start with ####Backports#### [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] http://pastebin.com/m13b8385e [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you in GB? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] yeah [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] okay cool - this is easy [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] see the line # deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-backports main restricted universe multiverse [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] i hope you mean great britain, not some computing term :P [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] all you have to do is delete the "#" character from the beginning of the line and save the file [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] ok [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] go ahead and do them both. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] just the deb or the deb-src line too? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] once you have closed out, we need to go to the command line and use modeprobe [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] im there [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] sudo modprobe iwl3945 [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] nothing happened it just took me to the next command line. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] thats what it was supposed to do [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] now type "lsmod" and see if you see iwl3945 [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] iwl3945 97912 0 [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] almost there :) [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] I forgot the command to restart networking.... [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] will me being connected to a wired connection interfere with this at all? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] you need to replub and restart networking but I cannot recall the command [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] replub/unplug [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] yes [EoU] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] oh I mean unplug ethernet - you have a PCI card right? [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] plug in card? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] unplug ethernet and plug in card and then type that [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] yes, just unplug ethernet and type that command and cross your figers [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] confirm the command again? :::/etc/init.d/network restart ? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sudo /etc/init.d/network restart [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] you won't see anything [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] type "ifconfig" without quotes [EoU] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] you should see wlan0 [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] no wireless lan just eth0 and lo [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] type "sudo iwlist scan" and see if it returns anything? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] returns lo ... eth0 and pan0 ... and states none of the interfaces support scanning. [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] okay, something still not right [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] maybe a reboot is in order? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] it couldn't hurt [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] lead the way [EoT]

[0 days 00:05:00] [SoT] your welcome :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] you are indeed a god. lol thanks for the help [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] any luck? [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] yay!!!! [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] i dont understand what we did that made it work, i dont recall downloading any drivers or doing anything except restarting the networking protocols? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] we added the software source "backports" jaunty, which in turn enabled iwl3945 once we used modprobe to load that driver [EoT]

[0 days 00:33:00] [SoT] still around? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yes :) [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] yay... ok so i just installed proprietary driver for my nvidia card, rebooted and we're back to the same problem ... no wireless lol [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] uh oh.... [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] can you remind me of the commands i used last time? i'll save them in a text file and see if using those and rebooting solves the problem. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] in a terminal type : lsmod and look for iwl3945 [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] it's there [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] restart networking with: /etc/init.d/networking restart [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] done [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] any luck? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] still no wireless option in Network Manager. [EOS]

[BOS] Does an ybody know anything about Banshee whatsoever? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] sure [EoT]

[0 days 00:03:00] [SoT] - any idea, since you seem to be a heavy banshee user? [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] id tags you mean in the mp3's? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - yeah. Banshee organizes my music by ID tag and a lot of my music doesnt have ID tags... I just want it to import my music "as is"... the way its already organized in my home folder [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] don't know [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - why is banshee being a beeyotch to control though? I just want it to look at my music as is - like amarok did................ [EoT]

[15 days 20:38:00] [SoT] this channel is for stable versions [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - I know, but if you take notice to what I siad, Ubuntu and Debian are the same in terms of troubleshooting wireless, and as we speak I am downloading Ubuntu to install on the iBook. But, thanks anyway. [EoT]

[32 days 11:46:00] [SoT] You probably don't need AVG in Ubuntu [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] - I have an infected flash drive with conficker on it and I'm trying to zap it from my Ubuntu machine. I use this flash drive at work (windows network) [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] Can't you just remove whatever is on it and start over? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - No. I cant. [EoT] [0 days 00:01:00] [SoU] - I have a ton of stuff on there from work. I recently put a lot of new stuff on it and haven't updated my backup. (I rsync my flash drive contents to my ubuntu machine for redundancy) [EoU]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] I am not sure if any of the Linux tools can remove Conflicter, but I think there's something for Windows that can [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - yeah, but every time I plug it in to a windows machine, it gets instantly infected. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] it won't infect your Ubuntu install though, since it's a Windows virus [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - I know. That's why I'm trying to scan it from within Ubuntu. [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] you can probably copy the files to your Ubuntu install, and then remove everything on the USB stick [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - and then copy the files back and restore the virus. Right? [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] maybe, but probably not, I mean if the files open up ok in Ubuntu, then they are probably ok [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] - the files open fine, but conficker itself is a file soemwhere on my fl ash drive. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] right, well you copy/move the files that you know about, the ones that are your data, and then format the drive [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] - that's what we're actively working on, but when you have 4 people for 1,500 computers, youc an only go so fast. [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] and if you got it from your job in the first place, they should sort out their computer security [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] - we have a network sniffer in place which actually pinpointed the exact computers that are infected, but I only got word of this around 7pm and I left at 6pm. [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] I see that's your job ok, maybe also in the future some Desktop Linux can be used there, so that problems like this probably don't happen [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - When you have educational software that a truckload of money was spent on when it's Windows based, it's very hard to convince a board of old timers that an operating system less popular than Windows is the way to go. [EoT]

[0 days 00:02:00] [SoT] it's a nasty one by things I read before, I think you might have to format anything that is infected by it, to make sure it is completly gone, plus I think there is a tool for WIndows to remove it [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - Yeah, we already have a list of the infected computers, whcih total count is about two dozen out of the 1,500 sy stems we have on the network. [EoT] [0 days 00:00:00] [SoU] - We have tools to remove it at work. It's just we didn't know where to start before. Now we know. [EoU]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] sometimes programs don't just add them selves to the menu when you install them into Ubuntu [EoT]

[0 days 00:00:00] [SoT] - Unfortunately, I know. Quite stupid, but something I've tolerated since I've been on Ubuntu. [EoT]

[0 days 00:01:00] [SoT] re installing the program, or logging out of Ubuntu usaully takes care of, apparantly you already know, plus you could launch it using the name on the command line, as I expect again you already knokw [EoT]
