lepinesend host-name "hostname" ...00:00
Roastedgahhhhh this is confusing.00:00
Fryggydoes anyone know how to connect to the wirelles internet, when Ubuntu keeps asking me the password for it and i keep typing the right one? It is like, ubuntu will not accept it :S00:00
lepinemkasson: it's not ...00:00
Brad777Does anyone know how to make a program start with a nice level you want like for me to start tremulous with a nice level of -400:00
lepinebut search for it in synaptic ... it's there00:00
JC_Denton_my prob: the automated fsck needs to drop into the root shell however this simply reports segmentation fault and my ubuntu machine gets stuck in a boot cycle! Is there a way to defrag the disk my installation is on? tried returning to run level 1 but the root shell option fails (think it might be the seg fault again)00:00

ConvictedFelonHello everybody! I was wondering if there was a way to remove currently installed packages that a download script does not contain? anybody know?00:01
mkassonehh, just starting with kubuntu. using this blasted adept.00:01
Brad777fx3, thank you i would have google'd but i couldn't figure out what to put in00:01
mkassonand apt-cache gives too many lines00:01
Scunizimkasson: you can install synaptic and use that if you preferr00:01
Fryggynightrid4r: yes i have. Yesterday i connected to the wireless network without any problems, but now i cannot :S00:01
fx3Brad777, you should have googled it. would have been easier00:01
Roastedfx3 - The thing is, I keep looking at this as a global thing. If I would have more Ubuntu machines, to have to edit each one seems cumbersome. I just feel like there's an easier way to do this.00:01
lepineapt-cache search java | grep jre00:01
ActionParsnip1!java00:02
ubottuTo install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository00:02
lepine| grep sun00:02
martinkoelewijnConvictedFelon: what do you mean?00:02
mrsteveman1Roasted: fx3: it will still be necessary to ping by the hostname according to the routers configuration, because these machines will be asking the router for the ip address either way, unless of course you manually put mappings into /etc/hosts00:02
fx3Roasted, yes, set up a bloody DNS server !00:02
mkassonexcellent.  thanks both00:02
otmcompiz fusion wont work! =[00:02
Roastedfx3 - If I needed a DNS server, I'd set one up. But I'm failing to see how I need a standalone DNS server int his situation when I have a simple lan with a router.00:02
ConvictedFelonwell, i have this desktop i am currently on.  i also have a xubuntu server. i uninstalled the xubunutu desktop and installed the ubuntu desktop, but its not the same. so i made a script for all the packages i have, but would also like to remove all the ones i dont have00:03
nightrid3rRoasted: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/34300:03
fx3Roasted, XPs and Macs both use zeroconf, thats enabled by default, unfortunately it causes lots of broadcast traffic and other nasty stuff. If you want it you will need to enable it00:03
mrsteveman1Roasted: you already have a DNS server it just doesn't seem to be passing out the information needed for this sort of thing to clients00:03
Roastedmrsteveman1 - What are your thoughts? Is this a router issue? Is this something that the router is lacking that causes this to happen, but perhaps the use of WINS on the windows machines overlooks this?00:03
vidoranyone have any ideas on how to revert back to gnome login screen instead of the ugly kde login screen00:03
mrsteveman1Roasted: check and see what your ubuntu machine thinks its hostname is00:04
martinkoelewijnConvictedFelon: delete packages you don't have? I don't get it00:04
fx3vidor, install gnome, logout, change session type, log in, uninstall kde00:04
ActionParsnip1vidor: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-switch-between-gdm-and-kdm-on-ubuntu/00:04
Roastedmrsteveman1 - /etc/hostname says skynet00:04
vidorthanks for the link00:04
Roastedwhich is my computer name00:04
fx3vidor, though i think its more difficult in practice, you should listen to ActionParsnip100:04
vidori will check there thank you ...00:05
mrsteveman1Roasted: /etc/hostname is static i think00:05
mrhhow do I find the name for an app that is installed? I want to invoke it from the cl00:05
mrsteveman1but run the hostname command00:05
ConvictedFelonmartinkoelewijn: sorry if it was confusing. PC1 is ubuntu desktop. PC2 is xubuntu server. i sent a script to PC2 so i can have all the same packages PC1 has, but i also dont want PC2 to have any packages PC1 doesnt. if i went through by hand....thats a lot of packages to look at. (1000+)00:05
Roastedmrsteveman1 - I was told to edit /etc/hostname when I wanted to change my ubuntu computer name.00:05
VagueI got an error 12 invalid device requested from grub when attempting to boot to Windows, I had to fix grub, doing the sudo grub setup thingy, because I broke the MBR deleting an old partition I never used, I'm thinking I did it wrong, because now I can't boot into windows, any suggestions?00:05
ActionParsnip1mrh: type part of its name and press tab00:05
mrsteveman1Roasted: you would rather have DHCP handing out the hostnames and domain if possible00:06
mrhIt is swiftweasel, the thing installed, but the cretins that built it did not bother to provide ANY sort of icon, or any instructions on how to open the thing00:06
mrsteveman1Roasted: if linksys firmware won't do it, your options are to change firmware or set it manually on each machine, and it might not be worth the trouble00:06
mrhActionParsnip1: will do00:06
Roastedmrsteveman1 - The one thing about this computer is I named it skynet cause that's just what I wanted, but this is a samba fileserver that other computers back up to, so it was important that the other computers could just to start - run - skynet and hit this PC to back stuff up00:06
fx3Roasted, if you have 2 machines you could simply edit resolv.conf on both of them...00:07
Roastedmrsteveman1 - That's the only other confusing thing then. I statically set skynet in /etc/hostname on this ubuntu computer, and other XP computers can ping it. But other XP computers cannot ping my other Ubuntu desktop running Samba as well.00:07
mrsteveman1Roasted: in the near term just set the hostname and domain on each machine to what you want it to be00:07
RedMushroomhow do i use the live cd to boot into the root account?00:07
mrhActionParsnip1: no go00:07
mrsteveman1Roasted: if you really want to you can look into changing firmware00:07
Roastedfx3 - I understand, but I'm trying to understand the nature of the problem versus just using a quick patch to fix it. Iw ork in IT so it's important I understand how things work.00:07
ConvictedFelonRedMushroom: you dont boot into root account.00:07
Roastedmrsteveman1 - Okay, you're in my shoes. What's your first move? New firmware? Or would you change something on the desktops>?00:08
VeRbyi cannot get my "new" ati radeon x1650 pro agp under any drivers, may someone help me solve this issue... plz00:08
RedMushroomConvictedFelon: well, sign in then00:08
fx3Roasted, youll find that you can access your samba server via its name if you set hostname = skynet in your samba.conf00:08
ConvictedFelonRedMushroom: if you just want to run a command? use sudo00:08
mrsteveman1Roasted: for the moment, fix it with resolv.conf, and look at other firmware. I'm not entirely sure the linksys firmware is the problem but it could be00:08
LouisConvictedFelon, are you really a felon?00:08
CarlFKwhats the command it to show what files are in a .deb?00:09
bluejeansmrh, 'locate _XX_' and look for matching result in /usr/bin/00:09
RedMushroomi cant use sudo because i changed the perimissions on the /etc/ directory and i can execute it anymore00:09
ConvictedFelonLouis:yes00:09
CarlFKsomething like dpkg... --list files foo.deb00:09
mrhYou know what really ticks me off anymore? cretins like the ones that built the thing, who go about trying to cover up their sheer incompetence by saying shoddy crap is the linux way00:09
Roastedfx3 - ah hah! EXCEPT, skynet is not found in my smb.conf. Which confuses me why it works...00:09
RedMushroomso i need to login/signin/boot in to the root account off the live cd00:09
LouisConvictedFelon:  mind if i PM you real quick?00:09
fx3Roasted, sometimes smb might take it from your existing hostname00:09
mrhbluejeans: tried that brother, tried that already00:09
ConvictedFelonRedMushroom: you cant just open terminal, use sudo and chmod?00:09
RedMushroomno00:09
mrsteveman1Roasted: you should make a post about this on the forum, so that we can more easily paste configurations and keep track of things00:10
RedMushroombecause sudo is in the /etc/ dir, and i can no longer use sudo00:10
VagueI got an error 12: Invalid Device Requested from grub, does anyone have any idea how I can fix it so I can boot into Windows?00:10

Roastedfx3 - Then why wouldn't my secondary samba computer pick up that host name? I can only connect to that samba computer with an XP computer if I use the IP. If I use the secondary samba computers computer name (as I do with my primary) it doesnt work.00:10
bluejeansmrh, did locate show results in ANY bin/ ?00:10
fx3Roasted, smb runs some sort of a WINS server on its own, or its like an SMB name resolution. This exact problem bugged me at work for months00:10

jdwartacan someone help my with installing a network printer00:10
mrhbluejeans: the reason I know it installed is because, right after running the install script, the thing opened up, worked, all well, so I closed it and then . . .00:10
ConvictedFelonRedMushroom: boot off live cd, use sudo from cd and modify settings on your hardrive00:10

ConvictedFelonHello everybody! I was wondering if there was a way to remove packages that are not listed in a package download script? instead of going through by hand...00:12
fx3Roasted, i dont know, its iffy like that. If you want a bulletproof setup you need to set up a DNS server with a DHCP server on one of the computers, that way *all* of your machines will resolve names using your local DNS names always, even if WINS or SMB fails00:12

unkoActionParsnip1, yep... i guess thats the problem huh?00:12
mrhActionParsnip1: swiftweasel00:12
ActionParsnip1unko: no you wanna do that00:12
Roastedfx3 - So you ran into the same issue I did? I just can't see how one samba computer works with the hostname while the other doesn't work. In both computers, I checked the smb.conf and their respective hostnames were NOT in the smb.conf, I thought maybe I would have had to put it in the smb.conf for it to work but its not in either samba config file. So I know that's not the issue.00:13
mrhbluejeans: swiftweasel00:13
unkoActionParsnip1, oh well i did... but now i have this insane flickering problem (ati = fail)00:13
martinkoelewijnConvictedFelon: just thinking: can't you use synaptic on both pc's to make list of installed packages and then use database or something to compare?00:13

owen1bluejeans: ok. can i use my nano to install other desktops with ubuntu?00:37
spantherhmw_pidgin: which ftp server is good to upload from liveCD ?00:37
jacob5Where is this packages.c file located? dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:22100:38
scroteActionParsnip1: the link you provided, linked to http://madwifi.org/ticket/1016  which is 404 Not Found00:38
hmw_pidginspanther: hmm... i don't know... how much data is it?00:38
ActionParsnip1tjb: i always log on to recovery root console and do it there00:38
spantherhmw_pidgin: like 40gb00:38
unkoActionParsnip1, wait.. do i pin it from my guestos or mine?00:39
scroteshould i just apt-get install hostapd and madwifi-tools ?00:39
bluejeansowen1, yes, open ipod as a disk drive save the ubuntu ISO memory.. then on the next computer set bios to boot from usb00:39
ActionParsnip1scrote: worth a shot00:39
ActionParsnip1unko: i wasnt aware it was a guest system. can you please clarify what exactly we are troubleshooting and the setup00:40
bluejeansowen1, .. but why not just burn a cd? easier and safer00:40
hmw_pidginspanther: maybe you should check out file hosters like rapidshare00:40
unkoActionParsnip1, i can't get my guestos to connect to the internet... :[00:40
martinkoelewijnActionParsnip1: press contrl+alt+F1 or F2 or F3 etc until you get commandline. Then run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop00:40
scroteActionParsnip1: so what do i do with that stuff00:40
scroteim tired of this linux crap fuck'n up00:41
owen1bluejeans: why is it easier?00:41
ActionParsnip1unko: oh, is it in virtual box?00:41
unkoActionParsnip1, yea00:41
ActionParsnip1martinkoelewijn: thats another way i guess00:41
scrotei installed those and wifi is still failing.00:41
ActionParsnip1unko: ok i got this one in 1 simple move, gimme a sec00:41
spantherhmw_pidgin: had to do a forced mount because liveCD said the NTFS partition were in use xD00:41
hmw_pidginspanther: rapidshare has a file size limit, i think. You will need to compress your stuff in partial files, but I cant tell you how to create multipart zips in ubuntu00:41
unkoActionParsnip1, it worked foine on the livecd in my virtualbox00:41
unkoActionParsnip1, ok00:41
spantherhmw_pidgin: well uploading private data isnt that cool after all i think :)00:42
hmw_pidginspanther: sounds like your windows crashed and you switched the computer off00:42
spantherhmw_pidgin: yeah xD exactly :)00:42
ActionParsnip1unko: your DNS needs to be set to 10.0.2.3 and your gateway needs to be set to the ip of your router00:42
owen1bluejeans: also, what is UNetbootin? i don't understand it from reading the site.00:42
bluejeansowen1, not all bios allow usb boot.. and you can also run into hardware related issues...  besides, if anything goes wrong with the cd yo uonly lose 25 cents instead of a $150 ipod00:42
hmw_pidginspanther: you can use encryped zip or something, but uploading is slow and i would rather try to get an external usb hard drive or set up a network00:42
ActionParsnip1unko: in the guest00:42
bluejeansowen1,  google is your friend00:42
unkoActionParsnip1, do i set that in my Vbox prefs?00:42
spaceBARbarianhow can i change the minimum required length for a password ?00:42
spantherhmw_pidgin: network i think is the best solution :)00:43
ActionParsnip1unko: no, in the network settings of the guest OS00:43
hmw_pidginspanther: if you have a LAN, then this sounds like the best option to me00:43
unkoActionParsnip1, were do i do that?00:43
ActionParsnip1unko: ok00:43
scrotewhy is wifi failing in the first place ?00:43
scroteit was working just fine.00:43
spantherhmw_pidgin: yes laptop (thinkpad r61) is connected over wifi to router and this is inside a lan00:43
scrotefor about 3 weeks00:43
ActionParsnip1unko: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf00:43
owen1bluejeans: i am on their site. it say "bootable Live USB". does it mean ubuntu will be running from the usb?00:43
ActionParsnip1unko: add the line   nameserver 10.0.2.300:44
owen1bluejeans: (which will ruin my usb)00:44
scrotei used to get wifi with a gui app in the tray00:44
scrotenow it doesent work00:44
ActionParsnip1unko: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces00:44
hmw_pidginspanther: consider creating a system partition for windows and software, and another for data, when reinstalling windows. This way you wont loose data. You could even try, if you can manage to resize your current partition, and create a data partition, save your data and resetup00:44
bluejeansowen1,  yes.. many distros offer USB installs.. i myself have used several00:44
spantherhmw_pidgin: i am no friend of unclean setups :)00:44
ActionParsnip1unko: add the line   gateway <whatever your routers internal IP is here>  for the network adapter00:44
hmw_pidginspanther: there should be nothing unclean to what i meant. maybe there is a misunderstanding?00:45
unkoActionParsnip1, were do i add it?00:45
spantherhmw_pidgin: i mean after resizing partitions and putting another partition somewhere on the harddrive :)00:45
ActionParsnip1unko: which one?00:45
scrotesudo /etc/init.d/hostapd start  # this doesent make wireless work00:45
scrotewhat do i have to type to make wireless work.00:45
unkoActionParsnip1, no.. i mean in the guestos how do i add that? lik were00:45
bluejeansowen1, however, if you are interested in a usb install i would not recommend ubuntu...  there are betterm lighter ones for usb. google it00:46
matrixblueI need an alternate VPN client that uses PPTP00:46
hmw_pidginspanther: ah, you mean its a risk of loosing data... well... keep in mind, that having system and data separated is very useful, when you are going to wipe that drive.00:46
unkoActionParsnip1, oh sorry i didn't see that command line u put up00:46
spaceBARbarianhow can i change the minimum required length for a password ?00:46
ActionParsnip1unko: in the settings for network, if you read what i told you i literally gave you a step by step guide00:46
scrotewhy does linux keep failing?00:47
unkoActionParsnip1, sorry...00:47
spantherhmw_pidgin: yes. and all the time before i ever made 2 partitions too. but i made them one after another so they had the right name and order :)00:47
spantheri just cant live with a viewable windows d: lol00:47
ActionParsnip1unko: np man00:47
hmw_pidginspaceBARbarian: maybe you shouldnt even try to do that. Check out pamusb (flash drive as key card), thus you dont need to type your password all the time, when the drive is plugged in, and your password stays long and safe00:47
hmw_pidginspanther: i never lost data with resizing. But it could happen, of course. I guess its not very likely. More probable is, that gparted wouldnt allow you to resize due to the unclean shutdown00:48
spaceBARbarianhmw_pidgin: i am trying to increase the length00:48
spantherhmw_pidgin: sorry but there was no way to shutdown clean :)00:49
hmw_pidginspaceBARbarian: oops. LOL. Sorry, i dont know...00:49
forceflowspanther: I resized my NTFS partition without problems using gparted00:49

spaceBARbarianActionParsnip1: i tried that but it had no effect00:50
spanthermy system was hanging after a theme tool replaces system files. god damnit i just hate myself that i really tried these things again lol. now i have alot bought music (1300songs) on harddrive but my system hangs because of missing system files which bring high cpu load all the time and often crashing windows explorer .exe00:50
forceflowscrote: you can always configure your wireless manually - check iwlist and ifconfig00:50
forceflowspanther: you could fix that by running an alternative windows shell00:51
wookienzhi, i have a raid 5 array which ihave updated the disks to bogger ones. I have grown the array using mdadm - it would appear i need to run mkfs aswell. Will mkfs delete the data on the drive, or just resize available space?00:51

AK_Daveultimatelifeform: Its a kernel module not a driver. Confirm thats what you really need by doing 'lspci' and parsing it for the line for your wifi adapter. Confirm the exact chipset being reported. Thats what you need to match with the appropriate kernel module.02:29
`NedMightyTweek, oh I see...not sure if I my connection is fast or not...I got roadrunner02:30
AK_Daveultimatelifeform: In all likelihood, there are about a dozen steps you need to do to make a b43 broadcom chipset wifi card work in linux, none of them technical, and all of them EXTREMELY well documented on the web in short easy to follow steps.02:30
AK_DaveNed: JUst out of curiosity, what version of Ubuntu are you going from and what version do you want to go to?02:31
MightyTweek`Ned: yes, you can just do a regular upgrade02:31

RedMushroomis there a "sudo apt-get install ..." that i can use to setup LAMP on ubuntu8.1?02:32
`NedAK_Dave, I'm currently on 8.10...I want to be prepared to upgrade to 9.04 when it's stable02:32
lstarnesRedMushroom: maybe sudo tasksel install lamp-server02:32
AK_DaveNed: Wait until it is released. Right now it is really dicey to attempt a dist-upgrade to Jaunty. If it doesn't work, you will have to reinstall from scratch. Better to just wait.02:32
sultanselephant-02:32
RedMushroomIstarnes: why tasksel instead of apt-get?02:33
`NedAK_Dave, yeah I can wait02:33
lstarnesRedMushroom: because tasksel selects tasks or collections of packages instead of just packages02:33
RedMushroomok thanks02:33

tomvolek_kronos84 yes, i have , i am downloading a linux distribution.  I guess i can run it. but was hoping to find a native ubuntu build02:43
joozhui need free shell account02:43
lstarnesjoozhu: you won't find any here02:43
veritosI've got some stuff that I compiled and installed to /usr/local along with the associated .desktop files in /usr/local/share/applications. How would I get my Gnome menu to show those .desktop:s too?02:43
joozhuso, where i want to get it ?02:44
kronos84tom is that a .deb?02:44
BoondokLifejoozhu: have you tried google?02:44
`dani guess its not finding anything because i had to change my sources.list to the old-releases thing?02:44
PhotoJimjoozhu: the only way I'm aware to get a free shell account is to install Linux or BSD on a machine of your own.  Poof, free shell account.  Or you can pay for a virtual private server from a commercial provider.  02:44
`Nedjoozhu,  good luck finding it anywhere02:44
eiliosDoes anybody have experience with "game creator"?02:44
joozhuPhotoJim, i need free,not pay :D02:45
joozhuhe he he02:45
tomvolek_koronos84  , it is down downloading at the moment... no its not a .deb file02:45
joozhu`Ned,02:45
`NedPhotoJim,  cool I didn't know that...I want one02:45
BoondokLifejoozhu: I know there are some free ones on google, but that would depend on what you need to do. If you are looking for a all open play ground then yea good luck, but for simple services there are quite a few.02:45
lstarnesjoozhu: most free ones suck, but there are some pretty good ones that aren't very expensive02:45
PhotoJimjoozhu: Sorry, I don't know of any providers who will give you an account for free.  They cost money to provide, so people want to recover their costs.02:46

BigMikeeasier to get the web cam to work than the mic likely lol03:07
zcat[1]tsLight, I guess if you're using pppoa it'll be in the logs somewhere and perhaps network manager keeps track of the connection time?03:08
