ryguyHas anyone found a way to make a bootable windows xp usb drive from within linux using an xp iso?00:00
OzzyWanHouse: I like the site - and i've got to go now. I'm gonna need to sort out this ubuntu thing, so i'll ask sometime in #ubuntu+100:00
MTecknologyryguy: you just asked this00:01
abrahamhola00:01
OzzyWanHouse: See you around00:01
LinuX2halfJordan_U: same thing fsck 1.41.3 (Oct 12 2008)00:01
ryguyyeah i know, I dont have it on cd tho00:01
MTecknologyryguy: it's against the Windows EULA00:01
WanHouseOzzy: I coded what you have enjoyed when growing up perhaps (Scooters, peteron, electric), ATV's, Good laughs. Sooner or later i want you to take change and you know it.00:01
abrahamfrom spain00:01
ryguy-_-00:01
ryguyto install it from usb?00:01
epaphusramFS-fu .. hmm ok thanks thedude4200:01
thedude42epaphus, i would think that the challenge would be to hide the ramfs portion from the kernel00:01
Jordan_ULinuX2half: Ok, try "sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1"00:02
epaphusthedude42, do you think modifying those parameters on the custom live cd is a big deal?00:02
thedude42epaphus, you may be able to just copy the contents of the CD to a file system in a ramfs mount, and then do a chroot00:02
WanHouseOzzy: I will not persuade you. Its something you must like for yourself.00:02
martin_thedude24 i installed ubuntu recently and i changed my username, but all my files are in the home directory of my old username00:02
rus_SUP! I've having ubuntu server trouble here...00:03
thedude42epaphus, yeah, the way I am thinking about it would change a lot of stuff, but I have zero experience doing that kind of thing so it may be a lot easier than I am thinking00:03
macomartin_: you can modify your new user to use that directory00:03
OzzyWanHouse: Man i have no doubt you know a hell of alot. But honestly, what are you persuading me of?00:03
rus_ima super n00b in the works00:03
OzzyWanHouse: You aren't making any sense00:03
martin_maco how?00:03
grhow r u all00:03
epaphusthedude42, all of that could be placed in a bootable script right?  ok got it.00:03
rus_peace, prosperity and love for everyone00:03
martin_maco: i prefer to move my files to my main home directory00:03
WanHouseOzzy: Its not political anymore. You shall do as you wish.00:03
WanHouseIE: Nothings00:04
LinuX2halfJordan_U: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5013d1d300:04
macomartin_: ah you want to mvoe the files not just use teh old directory?00:04
rus_heres my prob for anyone kind enough: I've got a poweredge300 with 2 HDDs00:04
Jordan_UOzzy: I think WanHouse might be a bot00:04
macomartin_: or just rename the directory to match your new name?00:04
rus_I've installed ubuntu server on it and all is fine00:04
rus_but i wanna use one HDD for the website and the other one for all the intranet info00:04
OzzyJordan_U: I agree00:04
WanHouseOzzy: I will have a 50 people party next weekend though :) / Its X-rated perhaps00:04
WanHouse:)00:04
martin_maco: i just want to take the files from the old home directory to my current and new home directory00:04
OzzyJordan_U; haha00:05
Jordan_ULinuX2half: That's not good, you may have lost your Ubuntu install00:05
OzzyBye all.00:05
rus_could anyone help me set up the extra HDD i've go in my server?00:05
rus_it says it's not partitined00:05
rus_supposedly i did.. but i rlly didnt00:06
Jordan_ULinuX2half: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" again?00:06
WanHouseOzzy: Ask who is a security police tool ?00:06
LinuX2halfJordan_U: what? Did that happen when I click check on that NTFS partition...00:06
WanHouseOzzy: Im much worse then that lame arse though :)00:06
Jordan_ULinuX2half: If you only clicked check no, but if you clicked check and then write then yes00:07

WanHouseJordan_U: Good morning. Im with Verfassungsshuts, Did you wich to join ?00:08
gOcOOlhow do I find out what "configure" options was used when installing a certain package via apt?00:10
martin_maco any help?00:10
LinuX2halfJordan_U: so is there any fatal problem?00:11
macomartin_: cp -R /home/oldname/* /home/newname/00:11
macomartin_: or "mv" instead of "cp -R"00:11
gOcOOlinstalling the aforementioned package via apt works just fine but trying to manually install it (configure; make; make install) seems to fail, hence the question00:11
macomartin_: then "sudo chown -R newname:newname /home/newname/*"00:11
WanHouseJordan_U: Yes ?00:11
martin_maco but i am viewing the contents of my that home folder, i only see 2 files00:11
martin_maco: access-your-private data.desktop and readme.txt00:12
martin_both i cannot open00:12
macomartin_: OH its encrypted?00:12
thedude42gOcOOl: man apt-cache and look for the option that shows you the full package information (I know it's in there, I haven't looked for it in a while)00:12
martin_imaco: i believe so00:12

ubottuWanHouse: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!00:12
thedude42gOcOOl: alternatively you can download the deb file itself and look at it with dpkg00:12
gOcOOlthedude42: ok, checking ...00:12
n8tusergOcOOl->  also look at /var/lib/dpkg/available00:13
macomartin_: try "su olduser -" in a terminal to force that directory to be decrypted?00:13
LinuX2halfJordan_U: are you there.....?00:13
Jordan_ULinuX2half: Yes00:13
martin_maco: user does not exist00:13
LinuX2halfJordan_U: So then what happened....?00:14
martin_im trying with the ecryptfs but its not letting me setup00:14
macomartin_: how did you rename this user?00:14
WanHouseKB1JWQ: You want to tone down, not because youre fat, but because oyu wish to be nice.00:14
macomartin_: did you create a new user and remove the old one?00:14
martin_i reinstalled the OS00:14
macomartin_: oh00:14
martin_mac: i reinstalled the os and created a different user name00:14
n8tusermartin--> you want to encrypt just one specific dir or an entire partition?00:15
LinuX2halfJordan_U: it seemed that Linux OS is back but usually there's this LBA extended00:15
macomartin_: so your encryption key from the old user is....? where?00:15
Jordan_ULinuX2half: I think that trying to "restore" your windows partition corrupted your linux partition, I may be wrong and you may just need the right partition table, but I don't think you can get your linux install back00:15
macon8tuser: he's trying to recover data in an encrypted home directory without having that user00:15
martin_maco: i dont know, i only see these 2 files and i was told to use the ecrypfts and thats not working so far00:15
Jordan_ULinuX2half: You can likely recover any important files though00:15
macomartin_: dude, i think you deleted your encryption key00:16
Purpley1You *must* have the OpenSceneGraph support library installed on your system00:16

macon8tuser: exactly00:16
LinuX2halfJordan_U: I don't have any files that important so....00:16
Jordan_ULinuX2half: There may be a chance of recovery by someone more knowlageable about this than me, but re-installing is probably easiest unfortunately :(00:17
=== martin_ is now known as RRBM
Purpley1You *must* have the OpenSceneGraph support library installed on your system00:18
Purpley1to build the FGFS simulator!00:18
LinuX2halfJordan_U: So then I just have to install either an Linux or an window?00:18
Purpley1where do i get that00:18
LinuX2halfJordan_U: I mean that I could re-install Linux using this LIveCD?00:18
Jordan_ULinuX2half: Yes, though I'd go with 9.0400:19
gOcOOlthedude42, n8tuser: couldn't find it in the apt-cache man page neither does "/var/lib/dpkg/available" seem to have the info i'm looking for00:19
legend2440Purpley1: try   libopenscenegraph-dev00:19
Jordan_ULinuX2half: For future reference you can install Ubuntu without overwriting windows00:19
LinuX2halfJordan_U: 9.04? Why don't I just upgrade it when I install the LiveCd?00:19
LinuX2halfJordan_U: Oh so then I could just install windows first then this LiveCD?00:20
Jordan_ULinuX2half: It's usually a bit more to download and takes longer, that's all00:20
thedude42g0c00l: yeah I found the parts for listing the files and dependencies..... I think you will have to grab the deb package itself and look at it directly with dpkg00:20
Jordan_ULinuX2half: Yes, and be carefull to choose to resize windows rather than erasing the drive.00:20
gOcOOlthedude42: any ideas how i could use dpkg to look at the info from the deb file?00:21
thedude42g0c00l: thing is that you're probably not going to find a Makefile in there, just the binary and any post/pre install scripts00:21
Jordan_ULinuX2half: Or, since you are installing windows yourself partition it to only use the first half of the drive and leave the rest as unpartitioned space00:21
thedude42g0c00l: if you want to see how it was compiled, you may be able to find a source package for the particular program you're trying to look at00:22
LinuX2halfJordan_U: okay, but I'm still a novice on the partition stuff...00:22
DILhey all, the links in my email(Evolution) wont launch error = could not open operation not supported.  any help appreciated00:23
thedude42g0c00l: you use the --unpack to see the files that comprise the package, so any configuration paost/pre installation will be in there00:23
LinuX2halfJordan_U: so now, I'll take my windows CD-R and insert to my Cd drive and let it do the work....00:23
Jordan_ULinuX2half: You can ask any questions here while you are installing to be sure you don't acidentily overwrite windows00:23
Purpley1I finally installed my program but now how do i start it?00:24
LinuX2halfJordan_U" wait you're telling me that I could just leave this open while I install my windows?00:24
LinuX2halfJordan_U: OR do you mean AFTER installing windows00:25
LinuX2halfJordan_U: I'00:25
bobo123what does the variable $? stands for?00:25
Jordan_ULinuX2half: Well you can't use IRC from the windows installer, but Ubuntu supports resizing windows so just going with the default options when installing windows is fine00:25
Purpley1I finally installed my program but now how do i start it?00:25
Jordan_ULinuX2half: After00:25
n8tuserbobo123-> in bash thats the status of the last command executed00:26
Jordan_Ubobo123: The exit code of the last command run00:26
Purpley1please help00:26
bobo123Jordan_U: so 1 means fail, right?00:26
LinuX2halfJordan_U: it said that by default, ubuntu will erase all existing softwares...00:26
thedude42bobo123, not necessarily00:26
legend2440Purpley1: you did   sudo make install  ?00:26
Jordan_Ubobo123: Yes00:27

LinuX2halfJordan_U: alright cool, I mean when I insert the CD it doesn't automatically load the CD......00:28
Jordan_ULinuX2half: Can you rephrase your last comment?00:29
LinuX2halfJordan_U: it take a while for me to figure it out but I just press the F12 button I'm sure it'll work for any CD right?00:29
thedude42maestrojed, in PORT mode, one end needs 21 open, the other end needs 20 open, but in PASV mode (the most common) you need to have 21 open for incoming requests, and then a range of other ports open to handle the actual data transfers00:29
maestrojedthedude42: I figured it depends. I am going to do what I hope is a standard install. For some reason I thought you needed more then one port open for ftp00:29
Sarajevo?DCC SEND "haha" yousuck00:29
SeaPhordoes anyone know why there's no man entry for the bg command? or where i can find the options/usage for the bg command?00:29

JimmioIs there a specific room for ubuntu development? I'm trying to make a program that replaces the gnome desktop background with a 3D environment... What should I be looking to do?00:30
Jordan_ULinuX2half: Yes, if F12 allowed you to boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD it will work with any other bootable CD00:30
LinuX2halfJordan_U: what I mean is that when I insert a ISO CD or a installation CD, it doesn't load automatically, I need to press F12 after the manufacturer logo appear....00:30
Purpley1http://pastebin.com/m71309de600:30
Purpley1Help00:30
LinuX2halfJordan_U: okay cool thanks for the help :)00:31
Jordan_ULinuX2half: np :)00:31
thedude42maestrojed, basically if you want the most generic ftp server up, you let it serve on port 21, and then you decide what high number port range you want to serve the PASV connections on... it's totally transparent to the client00:31
LinuX2halfJordan_U: see ya and wish me luck...00:31
legend2440Purpley1: instead of compiling it yourself just download the deb files and install   http://www.unitedfreeworld.com/ubuntu_debian_fgfs_installation.html00:31
maestrojedthedude42: So I am opening ports now while I am at my office so that I can work on this tonight (actually installing the server). Do you recommend a ftp server? My setup should be pretty basic. I always fail at getting the user and file permissions to play nice with SMB.00:31

DaZPurpley1: theres libosgparticle something in libopenscenegraph package02:18
InitHelloShawn-: easiest way would probably be to run privoxy on your home computer02:18
Shawn-InitHello Would my home computer have to be dedicated to doing this?02:19
tonyyarussoShawn-: no02:19
Purpley1Package libopenscenegraph is not available, but is referred to by another package.02:19
Purpley1This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or02:19
Purpley1is only available from another source02:19

tommy_hello how can i open record my desktop without opening it using terminal02:23
k0nanegbear14275: Okay. If it's desktop Ubuntu, yes, you'll have to enable root, but if I had to guess, I'd say you could keep key-only SSH and still use virt-manager, as long as you can log in as root.02:23
RegressLessHow can I change my default processor speed. It's running at 800 Mhz rather than 1.6 Ghz02:23

SeaPhorok youngblood ,,, try a dvd02:25
InitHelloShawn-: well, static IPs and/or dyndns services are beyond the scope of this channel, but what you want to do is tell your browser to use your home IP and port (search /etc/privoxy/config for 'listen-address' to find the port) as a proxy02:25
tommy_ya but how do i stop it02:25
k0nanegbear14275: Oh. Root should be enabled by default, in that case. I don't see any reason why to avoid it, if you don't run things that don't need to be root as root.02:25

Shawn-InitHello you cant help me do it in a Private chat?02:26

k0naneEido: The best way, I would say, is create a folder, create the subfolders for each user, chmod each subfolder for each user, and go from there. As for configuring vsftpd, Google 'vsftpd admin'. I use ProFTPD with MySQL virtual users.02:35
RegressLessk0nane: yeeeeaaah... I don't see that option. Under CPU Configuration, I have one option: "Max CPUID Value Set <Enabled>". Perhaps I should mention it's an EeePC with the array.org kernel. I'll try searching array.org.02:36

intruder1is it me or ext2,3,4 are more gentle on harddrives than NTFS ? The answer i am really seeking is, "this xxx filesystem gives your harddrive a longer lifespan"03:07
thedude42intruder1, no such animal03:08
=== idleone_ is now known as IdleOne
intruder1i've seen a lot of data corrupted on windows install, is it because i only have windows customers ?03:08
thedude42intruder1, though I do think that windows disk i/o sucks03:08
Jordan_Uintruder1: Less fragmentation means less seeking, thus less noise from the drive but not likely any affect on lifespan03:09
grturnerintruder1, hd life span is decided in a given number of spin ups,03:09
alteregoafragmentation?03:09
alteregoathat doesnt really matter in real life03:09
sebsebsebintruder1: yes Linux file systems are better than Windows file systems03:09
thedude42intruder1, yeah probably... I've seen plenty of data corruption in linux as well.... but I worked with large computational clusters03:09
sebsebseb!defrag |  alteregoa  intruder103:09
ubottualteregoa  intruder1: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this.03:09
alteregoaok ext2 is better than ntfs LOL03:09
intruder1sebsebseb: thank you! :)03:10
alteregoaa ext3 defrags too, less than ntfs, but its not much better, any FS fragments, thats natural03:10
sebsebsebalteregoa: yes I expect it is, even though now days most use Ext3 for Linux installs, but soon that will be Ext4 instead,  plus 9.10 gets Ext4 by default, not for Ext3 9.04  upgrades though03:10
alteregoayeah ext4 allows sparse files, ntfs has sparse since 2000 by default03:11
intruder1so having a fragmented installation leads of shorter hd lifespan ?03:11
alteregoabut you can't defrag ext4, because its not in the distro of ubuntu! LOL03:11
sebsebsebintruder1: I don't know, but  Linux file systems are better than Windows file systems :)03:11
IdleOnealteregoa: windows is just awesome and spectacular and we are all so happy you are enamered with it.03:11
Jordan_Uintruder1: No, just might be why you had an impression that it was "softer" on drives03:11
alteregoasebsebseb: no, they are not better, they are different03:11
thedude42intruder1, generally the lifespan of a hdd is determined by :1) use 2) trauma 3) average MTBF03:12
intruder1MTBF ?03:12
alteregoamean time before failure03:12
=== dmb_ is now known as dmb
intruder1and this value is determined by ?03:13
sebsebsebalteregoa: Well  generally  the  opensource/freesoftware community do things rather good,  I suppouse Apple reolize this to, hence why OS X uses quite a lot of it, and has it easilly available for it03:13
alteregoaits determined by temperature too03:13
sebsebsebIdleOne: hmm?03:13
IdleOneintruder1: randomness of universe :)03:13
thedude42intruder1, so since defregmentaiont is a series of reads and writes, it's additional wear on the drive, so by that logic it does reduce the lifespan03:13
Blank__sebsebseb, it's a shame that apple twisted it for their own ends03:13
intruder1IdleOne: i like it03:13
alteregoasebsebseb: i didnt criticize open source community, i criticize how they threat the users03:13
IdleOnesebsebseb: tired of seeing him compare everything to windows and trying to prove it is better03:13
sebsebsebIdleOne: oh03:13
Jordan_Uintruder1: A study by google ( who used a lot of cheap consumer hard drives to power google.com ) showed that usage patterns actually mattered very little, so file system is almost certainly insignifigant03:14
sebsebsebalteregoa: Linux distros are not Windows, there's even a good article for that03:14

intruder1thedude42: can i conclude that formatting an external hard drive with a linux filesystem such as ext3 would be a better idea than using NTFS, let's say i won't plug it in any windows computer03:15
IdleOnesorry sebsebseb wasnt meant for you :)03:15
DaZIdleOne: fud.03:15
thedude42intruder1, i would think not from that standpoint of portability03:15
intruder1Jordan_U: yea, about the journaling thing, that's why we use ext2 on a eeepc03:16

thedude42intruder1, well if you're only plugging it in to systekms that support ext3 then yeah, it's better than fat3203:17

ubottureiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html03:27

usser_ablmf, so they are equivalent in most cases03:51
ablmfusser_:  So will the system normally in runlevel 0 or 6?03:52
thedude42shane2peru, then download the deb for the package it wants to upgrade and do some dpkg fu on it03:52
panfisti have had weeks of uptime with jaunty desktop; i tried to install ubuntu-xen-desktop, which i think installed a server kernel, and after i rebooted i got a hard lock before it could get to a desktop environment03:52

faryshtaHi, is there any p2p program (like limewire) not written in Java?03:58
olvapfor example the row whit high value03:58
shane2peruthedude42: right, apt-cache, I will have to look into it more probably as you said, download it and dpkg fu it03:58
thedude42olvap, might want to ask that in #ruby, as the people in this room who could answer that are probably idling in there as well03:58
shane2peruthedude42: ahh, aptitude download ffmpeg gives me the scoop, fyi :)04:00

glickshey how come ubuntu gets like like 2 hours less battery time on my netbook than windows XP?04:01
thedude42shane2peru, yeah, i never use aptitude... i should probably consider using it :p04:01
nolimitsoya_usser_, how would i do that?04:01
shane2peruthedude42: I use it as a fallback when I forget the apt-get commands,04:01
usser_nolimitsoya_, just install mozplugger and evince04:02
nolimitsoya_usser_, bear with me, im trying to help someone over the phone here :) apt-get install mozplugger?04:02

nolimitsoya_usser_, thank you :)04:02
hansglicks: energy efficienty is very hardware dependent, i.e. on my laptop, Ubuntu uses less processor power than windows, and doesn't need to run the fan near as much, so I get extra battery life in linux04:02

jeeves_Mosscarpediem, I'm trying to set up a seed box on my web server so I can distro a few of our grass roots videos.  I'd prefer something with a WebUI so I don't have to babysit these people04:29
carpediemjeeves_Moss: AHH, okay...04:29
jeeves_Mosscarpediem, it's just a Torrent program without the WebUI04:29
ijaiseedbox or sandboz?04:29
GUI-IRCn00bcya ircn00b  :P04:29
GUI-IRCn00bthx for xchat suggestion04:29
carpediemjeeves_Moss: I'd go with the standard transmission.  IT has a daemon (headless) version.04:29
jeeves_Mosscarpediem, and becasue it has no GUI, then it has to be admined by a WebUI04:29
jeeves_Mosscarpediem, does it have a WebUI add on?04:30
GUI-IRCn00byou folks talkin about a torrent box?04:30
carpediemjeeves_Moss: yep04:30
GUI-IRCn00bwe use torrentflux04:30
GUI-IRCn00bit rocks and has a webui04:30
GUI-IRCn00bits in synaptic too04:30
carpediemjeeves_Moss: yhou have it by default on Ubuntu, and if you look in the preferences, there's a web ui you can enable.04:30
jeeves_MossGUI-IRCn00b, is it a headless one that has a webui?04:30
MikeChelendeluge has webui now too04:31

GUI-IRCn00btransmission works too. flux has way more power IMHO04:32
SoftwareExplorerlaughzilla: install Compiz config setting manager04:32
jeeves_MossGUI-IRCn00b, thanks.  as I said, we're using it to distro our indi films04:32
GUI-IRCn00bjeeves_Moss: apt-get install torrentflux should do04:33
carpediemGUI-IRCn00b: not to be daft, but what kind of more power does it have?04:33
SoftwareExplorerlaughzilla: then go to System>Preferences>CompizConfig Setting Manager04:33
jeeves_MossGUI-IRCn00b, thanks.04:33
GUI-IRCn00bi cant answer as a harcore user but i found the admin aspect more verbose04:34
GUI-IRCn00bso you can have "accounts" as to who can do what04:34
ae86-drifteri have torrentflux and MLdonkey running on my server04:34
carpediemGUI-IRCn00b: the transmission web UI is ajax, very nicely done, almost like a GUI client in a browser04:34
GUI-IRCn00bwe have multiple users on it04:34
GUI-IRCn00bso it worked best for our usage04:34

mneptokPerryArmstrong: mount | grep \/media05:29
stebalienzetwale69:  You need the QT/GTK libraries to run apps made to use them. You never need gnome/KDE/XFCE etc; these are just collections of programs. The window manager is only needed if you want to be able to move your windows around and close them.05:29
zetwale69I do not need the users to access the whole desktop, just that app, or several apps05:29

beta_I will.. brb05:30
PerryArmstrongmneptok; ok i did it in the terminal...05:30
ZykoticK9vox, you "can" do it but generally the less software you have running on a "server" the better.  Adding a GUI introduces a lot of possible security holes, unnessecarily.  You of course can do it, I mean Solaris runs with a GUI now.  But, "serious" servers don't come with GUIs!05:30

jbuncheracad, http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=truecrypt-portable05:32
acadjbuncher: of course 9x didn't have "admin" really05:32
stebalienzetwale69:  you can use xinit (from the commandline) to run just a bare bones X server with a few apps. Without a window manager, your users will not be able to switch between windows.05:32

ZykoticK9zetwale69, see ssh and X forwarding - they could log into terminal (with X-forwarding) then start GUI apps runing on your computer and displayed on their's (no KDG/GNOME required)05:33
acadjbuncher: how things have changed.. i'm not really surprised though. it is a driver after all.05:33

acadjbuncher: well virtual driver anyway05:34
acadjbuncher: what are you trying to do?05:34
zetwale69yes that is what I would like05:34
zetwale69use X forwarding or something and have them use one or more apps remotely05:34
acadjbuncher: i'm a hacker at heart and it sounds like it would be more fun to just run linux on these machines :)05:34
zetwale69I will have to do some more research on this then05:34
MikeChelenzetwale69: if it on a local network x forwarding is good, for connection across the internet freenx or vnc is better05:35
zetwale69i was actually looking at freenx05:35
acadjbuncher: maybe make yourself a windows themed linux disc for school- or something.05:35
ZykoticK9zetwale69, see SSH and X-forwarding for further detail (pretty easy to get going).  Hint for clients you might need "ssh -Y your_host_name", good luck.05:35

acadjbuncher: ohh. hmm interesting problem. does the employer encryption only work on ms windows?05:36
jbuncheracad, my friend tried a "two partition" approach, but windows is beyond stupid and doesn't recognize the 2nd partition on flash drives.05:36
PerryArmstrongmneptok; when i try the 1st command it says device is busy05:36
jbuncheracad, this wouldn't be employer encryption, just personal, so we can choose anything that works, as long as it's accessible from windows with zero admin stuff at all, and on linux as a non-admin (after a linux admin has installed and set up certain things)05:37
mneptokPerryArmstrong: sudo umount -l /dev/sdb1 && sudo fsck.vfat -yf /dev/sdb105:37
Quasarjhrm05:38

PerryArmstrongmneptok; i mean i am still unable to delete05:39
acadjbuncher: it seems like you are probably going to be very very limited in terms of encryption options05:39
mneptokPerryArmstrong: pull the drive fro the USB port. plug it in again. then run that command i gave you.05:39
mneptokPerryArmstrong: ah05:39
jbuncheracad, they might mandate that it *be* encrypted, but I don't think they mandate the details.  mneptok :  not sure, what would do the encrypting/decrypting in windows without admin rights?  Is there a native solution in linux that would be compatible?05:39
acadjbuncher: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/7-zip_portable05:40
jbuncheracad, yeah, that's what it seems.  My poor friend has been trying to figure this out for days.  He's going crazy.05:40
mneptokjbuncher: GPG encrypts files, but directories are trickier. so archive the dir and encrypt that single file with GPG.05:40
mneptokPerryArmstrong: the disk is being mounted read-only. did you mess with /etc.fstab at all?05:40
mneptok /etc/fstab05:40

lockyBacking up gf's lappy now to put 9.10 beta on ;)07:16
trey__do you have a sd slot on your computer07:16
rashed2020Docteh: "Oh my"07:17
joebodolocky ot - but i think the biggest change in 9.10 is ext4 - that requires a reinstall to get the full benefits07:17
Akos_beginnerWhat is strange, that when I choose the windows to boot, I got the 'hard disk error' messages very very fast.07:18
Doctehrashed2020: Don't Oh my with dd and specific partitions07:18
DoctehAkos_beginner: its because the error is  coming from bios or MBR07:19
lockyHas xp ATM07:19
trey__MTecknology i want to use gparted07:19
ZykoticK9locky, FYI 9.10 beta is sucking down on average 50-100MB of updates a day right now.  You might want to wait until release...07:19
lockyI used ext4 with 9.04 at home and was very happy with it07:19
chrissyhey how do i do a defrag07:19
rashed2020trey__: He left.07:19
trey__for whut im trying to do07:19
Docteh!defrag07:19
ubottuThe default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this.07:19
Satzochrissy, you dont07:19
Akos_beginnerYes, that means the windows has no problem, but the MBR or BIOS regarding the windows boot has.07:20
trey__can you help me07:20
just_ilyai cheked out and my issue was really a bug, it's already reported07:20
rashed2020trey__: What are you trying to do?07:20
maestrojedI would like to change a user's home directory. When I look at that users current home directory it is filled with files (I guess system files, I did not put them there). If I change the user's home directory do those files need to be there? Will they be recreated in the new folder?07:20
chrissyok when i turn off my laptop it says system halted and i have to manually shutt it off07:21
chrissywhat causes this07:21
SatzoACPI perhaps07:21
trey__im trying to get gparted to reganise my sd slot07:21
Doctehmaestrojed: default files are from /etc/skel, don't really need them but they help07:21
chrissyhow do i fix that07:21
Satzochrissy, is acpi enabled in bios?07:21
trey__do you have a sd slot07:21
chrissynot sure07:22
Satzocheck it out07:22
maestrojedDocteh: help? as in performance or as in they are nice to have. Because I will let /home/username exist so they will be available. I just will change the "active" user's directory07:22
chrissydo i enable it if it is not07:22
rashed2020trey__: I do. It worked right out of the box so I never had to mess around with it. And as far as I can tell gparted can't help your computer recognize an SD slot.07:22
Satzochrissy, yes.. google acpi as well.. for your own good :)07:22

lstarnesshadeslayer: no, you'll have to go to 9.04 in between07:24
ActionParsnippurplefool: boot to windows and use add/remove programs to uninstal ubuntu like any other app07:25
shadeslayerbah...07:25
ActionParsnipshadeslayer: you have to go via jaunty07:25
purplefoolActionParsnip, well now...that sounds easy enough.  thx07:25

shadeslayerand if i upgrade to 9.04 via a internet connection,how big is the download?07:27
chiquesSo what's the word on 9.10, any cool things?07:28

Satzothe con is the video device on PS3 isnt accessed directly by linux07:37
evilaimThis has interested me for a while, but never really looked into07:37

LaqueActionParsnip: Also, the settings state that my NVidia 8400 card has 512MB of memory and that my onboard NVidia 8300 is using 512MB (taking some of my ram). Is it benefiting me that the onboard has VRAM? If not, how to i stop it from taking my RAM?08:07

voxfree_loader: age is irrelevant08:15
rashed2020maco, Flannel: They said they were gonna open source Launchpad when that first started. Nothing about that with UbuntuOne. And now I'm off to #ubuntu-offtopic so Flannel doesn't ban me :P08:15

bigmack83_Flannel, well before i reinstalled when i just entered 'screen' everything showed up. now on a new install it doesnt08:29
al__ActionParsnip: my question was realy which filedo I enter them into?08:29
grturnerlovinglinux, within my .Trash folder under ~/.local/share/Trash i also have two folders names 'files' and 'info' you may want to try making those folders as well08:29
ActionParsnipal__: hosts get added to /etc/hosts08:30
al__ok08:30
al__ActionParsnip: in my case I mst enter them into hosts because it is across a VPN, and netbios dont seem to work very well over vpn08:30
lovinglinuxgrturner:  I have those too.08:30
bigmack83_Flannel, any idea how i would get that hardline then? ive installed screen profiles but nothing and when i try googling it it just up with stuff related to the physical screen monitor08:31
prince_jammysbigmack83_: screen has an irc channel: #screen08:31
Flannelbigmack83_: well, if you want the f9 thing, then you'll have to get screen-profiles setup, which I know nothing about.08:31
ActionParsnipal__: true, you can add the remote DNS servers in you /etc/resolv.conf but if they use a static IP you may as well use the hosts file08:31
grturnerlovinglinux, what are the permissions on those folders?08:32
al__ActionParsnip: nah that dont work properly either, becuase the remote network is a workgroup and doesnt have a proper DNS.08:32
al__best to hard code it in hosts file08:32
bigmack83_Flannel, i found it. apparently in karmic screen has absolutely no hardline, and to use it they renamed screen-profiles to 'byobu', so running 'byobu' instead of screen gets it08:32

v_vhello. anybody can tell me where to change the runlevel and save it , so the next reboot will enter another runlevel ? plz ??08:46
Screwyluieshadeslayer: yeah I'm aware of linux's hardware limitations.... I think all my stuff is ok, I checked what I could searching around on google and what not... I'll go check for errors see what I come up with08:46
al__ActionParsnip: thanks - that worked08:46
bigmack83_Flannel, oh yea my bad. not hardy. but it is 8.1008:46
toomaiv_v: do you have a /etc/inittab?08:46
v_vtoomai: no08:46
toomaiv_v: oh...08:46
ActionParsnipal__: cool :)08:46
Flannelv_v: Which runlevel are you trying to enter?08:46
shadeslayerScrewyluie: ok,but we can never be sure of whats causing this08:46
v_vtoomai: i know inittab, the problem is , i don't know if ubuntu knows it08:47
shadeslayerScrewyluie: ive gtg as of now.... cya later08:47
al__ActionParsnip: whats the SMART monitoring tool?08:47
bigmack83_toomai, well be careful because that may mean that users of windows that dont recognise linux permissions can write to system files and mess it up08:47
v_vFlannel: i don't know the number. i want  a muilti text mode08:47
bigmack83_Flannel, ah ok, thanks08:47
rwatI'm trying to install ubuntu on a mac mini - anyone know if it's possible to install using the DVI connection? My monitor just says "no signal". Was working a minute ago on snowleopard08:47
toomaibigmack83_: well, there are not windows-users...I work in linux only...and I will only use that external harddisk for backups08:47
bigmack83_ok08:48
Flannelv_v: All of the runlevels are the same in Ubuntu (and Debian), except for single user mode (and shutdown and stuff)08:48
toomaibigmack83_: but it is useless if the linuy-users are only able to copy and stuff with sudo instead their own user08:48

al__ActionParsnip: dont worry08:52

ActionParsnipgroovy08:52
Flanneltoomai: Right, upstart changes that.  I believe /etc/event.d/ deals with it.  Or /etc/init/*08:52
v_vtoomai: so tell me the new way08:52
Flanneltoomai: I'm on Hardy, where we still have inittab, so I can't verify.08:52
toomaiv_v: I do not know the new way...sorry...:(08:52
sarlothFlannel: he is trying to change the runlevel, init just changes the services that boot after you boot into runlevel 508:53
v_voh. . . .wa HAHAHA08:53
toomaiFlannel and v_v: I just googled a bit...inittab is gone and replaced by other scripts used by upstart...it appears that /etc/inittab is gone, but will be used if you make your own08:53
qdbhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently has not worked mount -a hanged with not mounting the folder08:53
toomaiFlannel and v_v: sooooo...either you google for the new place in that event.d or upstart-scripts to determine the runlevel or you take an old inittab and put it in /etc/ and change it to your needs08:54

mlissnerLike how to reverse URL encoding, or just make use of it?09:01
ActionParsnipqdb: you can allow the everyone full access to your data and not need a password but its MASSIVELY unsecure due to whom is included in the everyone group09:01
qdbhow09:01
qdbit is already09:02
ActionParsnipqdb: change your windows share permissions and file access permissions. I strongly advise having a password09:02
qdbthere is set access to read for all09:02
ActionParsnipqdb: i think if you run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER     and have the same username and password in the user list on the windows side, you should be able to walk in09:04
qdbit should be regular windows user password on windows side or separate samba password?09:05
qdbi use it without password09:05
koshariActionParsnip do you know what catogory would i file this bug under at launchpad?09:06
qdbso it should work with pressing enter on passw. prompt but does not09:06

tasslehoffI'm trying to fix a pc where someone has deleted/maltracted the MBR. Gparted sees the disk as "available space". How can I restore the MBR?09:09
ActionParsniptasslehoff: awesome name!!09:09
ActionParsniptasslehoff: you can use test disk to write a FAT to the disk09:10
tasslehoffActionParsnip: thanks :)09:10
joaopintotasslehoff, MBRs are not related to partititions, you need to install an MBR09:10
joaopintoActionParsnip, MBRs are not related to filesystem types09:10

joaopintoActionParsnip, an MBR is installed, not reocevered09:11
ActionParsnipjoaopinto: but if you stick a FAT on the disk it should see a whole partition, you can then use foremost to get the data off09:11
joaopintoActionParsnip, MBR is the code which allows to boot the system, it is not related to partitions, and not to data, that is the partition table09:11

tasslehoffjoaopinto: background. I have a script I use to format an sd-card where you specify device on the command line (format-sd /dev/sdb). A colleague was using it, and tried putting /dev/sda instead. That was his harddrive... The system worked fine until a reboot, so now I'm trying to figure out if things can be repaired.09:18
LaqueActionParsnip: couldn't get your advice to work09:18

LaqueActionParsnip: no change at all09:21
LaqueActionParsnip: i'm starting to think xorg.conf doesn't do anything LOL09:21
LaqueActionParsnip: I'll try using the entire xorg.conf i used on 8.04 and see if it does anything at all09:23
LaqueActionParsnip: going to reboot to see if it works, let me know if you think of anything else when i get back if you will XD09:24
LaqueActionParsnip: first attempt at the failed but i changed the @s to _s in the resolutions and it works perfect now09:29

slacker_nlGuest269: see the link I posted, it has examples for static and dhcp configs13:17
nic1rd1381, it is i3-3.b13:18

sobersabreobiwan_: do you have another USB nic ?13:18
obiwan_yeah csb, but i don't have b43, i have wl. Do you have a macbook with b43? does it work in monitor mode?13:18

rd1381nic1: no i mean which of that dev packages menioned in their official guide13:18
sobersabreobiwan_: what does lspci say to you, again ?13:18
C-S-Bobiwan_: b43 is the only one that will put the broadcomm into monitor13:18
C-S-Bobiwan_: try b4313:19
obiwan_yeah, C-S-B , but wl is a new one, and monitor mode is not supported13:19
obiwan_yeah, but i read that b43 won't work with 4328 chipset, nor 4318 which is my mum's13:19
C-S-Bobiwan_: wl works on my card and so does b4313:19
myeggoslacker_nl: thank you, it gave me a clue - syslog entry were duplicated, anyway, after deleted one of both, it says that old files will be removed, so i guess i only need add a parameter for avoid that13:19

Dr_Willisalazyworkaholic:  try it and see  - thats seems to be about righjt.13:25
rd1381nic1: the page i mentioned earlier that was a guide how to build the latest version of ur app on ubuntu ,it had a list of deb files and their urls .but u said they were for debial and for amd64 so i said u can use ubuntu package search to download the coresponding packages13:26
Dr_Willisalazyworkaholic:  there are other dupelicate finder programs out there also.13:26
obiwan_heheh :P13:26
C-S-Bobiwan_: yes ?i used fwcutter, but there are files on the net13:26
labthis procedure is a disaster :  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI  . is there anything better for installing these driver on 9.0.4 ?13:26
Dr_Willisalazyworkaholic:  IF 'fdupes' accepts that sort of input.. it might not.13:26
nic1rd1381, when i started following that page, the first statement git itself gave me segfault, so could not progress in my previous attempt13:27
labI strongly suggest to remove it from ubuntu's site. I only have damaged my installation13:27
obiwan_C-S-B, i got two options, one is fwcutter +b43, the other is ndiswrapper+the bootcamp windows wifi driver developed by apple13:27
Guest269does anybody have a guide to edit the eth0 so i no how i can set it up for my server please?13:27
C-S-Bobiwan_: you need the firmware in lib/firmware in order to modprobe b43. easy though, install fwcutter from the ubuntu repo and it handles all that13:27
simonQuick question, as a server newbie, but having used nad installed Ubuntu on a home PC several times over the past 18 months, do I need to buy 9-5 support, or will I be able to figure it all out with online forums like I did with the PC Ubuntu?13:27

nic1oh..13:40
kLoNeDthrough a router @ Dr_Willis13:40
rd1381nic1 i just use kde and i am happy13:40
Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  thats your issue then.13:40
Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  the ip of the pc is correct.. Your ROUTER has the other ip.13:40
nic1it's not for my use, but for my work..13:40
Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  you have to forwared the traffic to the pc13:40
kLoNeDDr_Willis i need to make inet addr:192.168.1.3 look like inet addr:82.32.204.6213:41
kLoNeD?13:41
obiwan_hey i got a question, for b43 to work, do i need to extract the firmware from the b43 driver right? can i extract it from the wl? in this web they work with b43 but they get it from wl-apsta.o please take a look http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b4313:41
Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  You need to forward traffic  to the pc  via the proper settings in the router configs13:41
kLoNeDbecause cpanel keeps picking up 192.168.1.3 when it should look like 82.32.204.6213:41
nic1rd1381, i am running git again..13:41
Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  No it should NOT look like 82.xxxxxxxx13:41
rd1381nic1:oh.why for work? is not commercial .its not minimal.its not popular :)13:41
kLoNeDok, so how do i get cpanel to pick up my 82.32.204.62 ip13:42
kLoNeD?13:42
Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  the connections to your router need to get forwared to that 192.168.x.x ip13:42
Dr_Willisas ive said 5 times now.13:42

nic1rd1381, do you have any idea about any tiling wm?13:42
Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  you  could set up the pc on a 'dmz'  on the router also.. that puts the pc totally open to the internet.13:43
kLoNeDi dont see what ive missed tho, i just put cd in installed ubuntu and then pc restarted thats all ive dne13:43

coz_nic1,   xmonad  is a tiling window manager13:43
nic1how about awesome wm then? i am asked to use one of awesome or i313:43
baker`hello, does anyone know how much RAM ubuntu uses in comparison to say.. vista?13:43
Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  so you did not go to the router configs pages and set up port forwarding then?13:43
rd1381nic1: oh its tiling now , isit? no as i said i am a kde user13:43
kLoNeDi have done this via routerlogin.net13:43
coz_nic1,  there is also scrotwm13:43
nic1coz_, i started using xmonad, it's too easy to install, but difficult to make it up i think..tried for few days but couldn't make it up and working fully13:44
Dr_WillisNo idea what routerlogin.net is.. I use my routers  ip ofhttp:// 192.168.1.113:44
nic1scrotwm? i dint hear of this13:44
kLoNeDif i gave you my internet ip, username and password, you would be able to connect to my machine13:44
coz_nic1,   ah  ok   I know there is an irc channel for that and a fellow named  amphi  I would talk to if you want to try again13:44
baker` hello, does anyone know how much RAM ubuntu uses in comparison to say.. vista?13:44
nic1kde is kewl desktop...13:44
Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  it would connect to the router.. and the router would forward traffic based on the port's to  whatever machine they are set to be forwareded to.13:45
coz_nic1,  kde is kool  but it is system resource intensive at this stage13:45
n8tuserkLoNeD-> usually the router in front is your your gateway and same address for web configurable settings, so to find out your gateway, type   netstat -n in a terminal13:45
nic1coz_, right now i am running i3, i wil definitely try out xmonad, if you can guide me a bit13:45
C-S-Bobiwan_: so having luck with b43?13:45
n8tuserkLoNeD-> rather netstat -ran13:45
nic1coz_, oh..ok. i wasn't aware that it's sys resource intensive13:45
coz_nic1,  I am not the one to gude you:)... amphi tried to get me to switch to that  instead of compiz but I cant :)13:45
nic1so i think i can do tiling even with compiz right?13:46

Subdolusdoes it have to build the file list every time I run it?13:47
nic1coz_, my application demands a light weight window manager13:47
Subdolusit's been going for about 6 hours13:47
kLoNeDwhat do i do now?13:47
coz_nic1,   well some tiling can be done  maybe with the grid plugin and others  but not as well as  the tiling window mangers13:47
n8tuserkLoNeD-> on your browser type  192.168.1.1 and configure your router accordingly13:47
rd1381nic1: gnome is not that resource hungry13:48
coz_nic1,  however for xmonad  just join the #xmonad channel for help... I dont see amphi there right now  but he may show up13:48
obiwan_C-S-B,  heeh i was waiting for you to answer  but i didn't put your name so i guess you lost it hehe . Anyway my question is, does the firmware have anything to do with the driver? i can't find the b43 driver, but i have the wl one, can i extract the firmware for it to use it with b43 or that won't work?13:48
kLoNeDn8tuser i believe i have done so http://paste.ubuntu.com/292343/13:49
kLoNeDthis is all the forwarded ports i have made to my machine http://paste.ubuntu.com/292343/13:49
C-S-Bb43 is probably already on your system13:49
C-S-Bobiwan_: ^13:49
n8tuserkLoNeD-> what the heck is that? please configure your router correctly,  whats the brand and model of the soho router?13:50
C-S-Bobiwan_: you just need the firmware files to make it work13:50
C-S-Bobiwan_: sudo apt-get fwcutter13:50
kLoNeDits not configured properly13:50
kLoNeDill just find out13:50
veggteppeAnyone that can tell me how to navigate to sertain application's ? were it is in the filesystem i mean.13:50
Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  i dont see the PORT that cpanel uses mentioned in your  'list of things forwarded to 192.168.1.3'13:50
obiwan_yeah it is  cause modprobe b43 works and it gets shown in lsmod, but 43-fwcutter --list is supposed to get me a list of available modules, and b43 is not in that list, it's just wl things13:50
obiwan_C-S-B,13:50
C-S-Bobiwan_: sudo apt-get b43-fwcutter13:51
obiwan_it's already installed hehe13:51

Dr_WilliskLoNeD:  or learn to properly forward the ACTUAL PORTS that cpanel uses instead...13:56
obiwan_ok , brb C-S-B , let's hope ;(13:56

gravityreloadedmnaines, they don't have anywhere near the features I need and they are very buggy14:22
joaopintogravityreloaded, let me repeat, there is no standard format for disk images using XML, your question is nout about ubuntu, is how to restore XML files geneated by a specific disk cloning app14:22

Dr_Willissimon_1:  since each shell can change it.. it can be in quiet a state of flux14:27
gravityreloadedI hoped it would be more simple, since I am running Ubuntu on my 2nd hard drive, It would be a shame to uninstall that to install windows, the restore, then re-install ubuntu. It a lot of work, as you all can see14:27

simon_1im sure a few people like me with bad memories like to keep the history somehow14:29

Dr_Willissimon_1:  in fact as each shell closes it writes to the .bash_history so whatever shell closes last gets 'saved'14:31
penthiefIt would be nice if there was a special tab-completion which used the history.14:31

tonyyarussoiceroot: sort of.  There's what's called a reverse connection, where basically A access B to say "hey, here's a connection you can use if you want it!" and B can say "oh sweet, I think I will"14:32

jph_RAID 1 Question - I have a Supermicro motherboard that has 4 SATA connections; Can I have 2 RAID 1 setups on that? i.e. Can I take 2 100g HDs and set them up in a RAID 1 for my Ubuntu Server OS and then later take 2 1Tb HDs and set them up in a RAID 1 for my mass storage drive and then mount them within the system15:27

kiloIs anyone familiar with this situation: I've installed a program in jaunty, but now I want to get rid of it. It doesn't show up in the Add/Remove software app, or in Synaptic. Can I just delete it? Is there any kind of registry implications that I should worry about?15:28
Dr_Williskilo:  depends on how/what you installed.15:28

miho_i went to gnomelook, thanks again....15:29
kiloDr_Willis, it's an adobe AIR app.15:29

kiloDr_Willis, nothing vital to the system, just a stock-viewing program.15:29
kiloDr_Willis, there is an icon to uninstall AIR itself, but I just want to get rid of that app15:30
Dr_Williskilo:  last i tried adobe air ( and i regretted it) there was some Adobe air Uninstaller app icon also.. but  that may been for a specific app i installed.15:30
Dr_Williskilo:  sort of like an Air-app package manager.15:30
kiloDr_Willis, ya, it installed an App installer, but not an uninstaller.15:30

Paddy_NIdeadman: seems a step in the right direction15:54
jph_would that be a hardware or software RAID15:54
damaltordeadman: then google for that. usually, the chips are built into more then one device so the chance to get a driver is bigger then just searching for that special pinnacle device15:54

geniiJuJuBee: You're currently in #ubuntu , where for instance most of the Gnome apps don't use Qt but GTK15:58

the_hoserjph_: mmkay.  you have linux supported fakeraid.  I'd honestly go with software raid.  It's less buggy.  Unless you have a *real* raid controller, software raid is almost always better.16:10

rahmuhey guys I'm looking to install a software on a live USB. Any ideas how to do it ?16:10
grawityPerryArmstrong: Oh, one more thing. Your previous paste lists a few files - and all of them I recognize as instances of a Windows virus which spreads by USB drives. So while it is _not_ related to your problem, I still wanted to point that out.16:10
grawityPerryArmstrong: Hm. Does the drive have a physical readonly switch? Some do.16:11
Out_Coldthank goodness we run linux :p16:11
PerryArmstronggrawity; ya i know that those are virus...but then i can't delete them unless i can have the permissions16:11
jph_the_hoser:  Ok so i should go with a software RAID and there shouldn't be a problem having 2 separate RAIDs16:12

thedude42olmari, if you just want to download the debs without installing them, you can use apt-get to get all the packag names but you might still have to download them manually (not sure if there is a toll to do that separately)16:33
olmarijpds: Okay then could there be suggested something even more automatic way... so that installation goes with one command, and it perhaps asks like apt-get joes..-16:33
penthiefBenB: Shell script16:33
mmckinnonbillybigrigger, for cd ripping have you looked at ubuntu's default cd ripping software sound juicer?16:34

Dr_Willisdocmax:  the wallet/key ring tool can accept an empty password. it will rember the other passwords.. it just wont ask for a initial unlock password at login17:08

jana_gotunandan: thank u =)17:09
docmaxMrElendig, where do i do this? i just want an wlan auto-connection when booting into gnome17:10
gotunandanjana_: the problem here lies with the fact that Autocad does not support GNU/Linux17:10
iokaif I try locate wlan0 should it find that file?17:10
KristianRosehey can anyone point me to a troubleshooting guide that might help me figure out why network manager  doesn't want to manage my wifi card?17:10

iokait does not find anything17:10
docmaxand gnome has to connect automaticly, with no user input17:10
pshr_vista like sidebar in ubuntu possible or not ?17:10
thedude42docmax, if you can live without network manager, you can simply set up your wlan key information in /etc/network/interfaces17:10
jana_gotunandan: u think i might find a solution for autocad or helpless case?17:10
iokadid you check wireless in gui network manager?17:11
gotunandanKristianRose: remove any line indicating wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces17:11
sipiorioka: "wlan0" is a name attached by the kernel, there's no corresponding filesystem entry. (this isn't Plan 9)17:11

iokaI try the beta version again on the usb to see if it will be the same thing17:13
gotunandanKristianRose: i've had similar problems with network-manager as well, also you could check /etc/NetworkManager/nm-settings.conf and set managed=true17:13
ReVoLt112hi17:13
KristianRosegotunandan: thanks i'll take a look at that17:14
gotunandanKristianRose: If network-manager can detect your wireless device and is just not able to manage it, then it means that the driver is present, just that network-manager is refusing to configure it automatically17:14
iokayes there is a managed=false.I'll change it to see if it will make any difference17:14

iokathere should be a usb install or something17:16
KristianRoseit's weird, because network manager was working with my wifi card without issue before not even 5 hours ago.  only thing that changed between now and then was i shut down my laptop and booted into vista.17:16
iDangerMouseanyone :( ?17:17
uberspacediDangerMouse17:17
duryhi there channel :)17:17
Dr_WillisiDangerMouse:  you can use 'sudo fdisk -l' or 'dmesg' to see what devioce the thing is.. then use sudo mkfs.XXXX /dev/devicename   to format it.. or use gparted for a gui way to find/format it17:17
iDangerMouseYes uberspaced ?17:17
uberspacedwhat I do is open up a terminal with "ls /dev |grep sd"17:17
gotunandanKristianRose: yes that is a weird problem, rebooting did cause the same problem on my laptop as well17:17
uberspacedand plug the device in17:17
geniiiDangerMouse: If it was the last thing you plugged into the USB... dmesg|tail       should tell you the drive designation (like sdb sdc or so). Then you can partition it with fdisk or gparted and then format it with mkfs.ext3  (or ext4 or whatever)17:17
uberspaceda new one should pop up if it's recognized.17:18
iDangerMouseDrm:i915_getparam error17:18
iDangerMousethat showed up17:18
MrElendigiDangerMouse: should be more than that in dmesg after you plugged it in17:19
uberspacediDangerMouse, open up a terminal.17:19
iDangerMouseOpened it17:19
uberspacedrun: watch "ls /dev |grep sd"17:19
gotunandanKristianRose: I think setting managed=true in nm-settings.conf should fix it and as I said earlier remove and mention of wlan0 (or wlan1 , if that is the name of your wireless device) in /etc/network/interfaces17:19
uberspacedplug in your usb stick, or remove it and then plug it in17:19
uberspacedand it should show up.17:19
iokaI'll format the usb and try it again.It does not star the install program from the desktop.17:20

KristianRosegotunandan: so that's [ifupdown] managed =true ?17:20
durymmm... could anyone suggest me an application to create a DVD slideshow with photos17:20
Dr_WillisiDangerMouse:  you can use gparted. or 'sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/DEVICENAME'  for fat32 formating.17:21

iloweteimu: maybe I should hang out in more Windows support channels and I would get better performance ;)19:37
alfatauteimu: well, i've an ubuntu router and gateway (DNS server, DHCP server, etc...) which directly connects to internet with an ethernet device, and with a second ethernet device forwards traffic to an access point to which every people of the lan connect to.19:37
iloweJoeNu2Linux: how're we doing, there?19:38

grawitymweichert: 0.0.0.0 matches all IPv4 addresses.19:42

JoeNu2Linuxilowe, can i "trust" it? i come from windowsland where you cant trust anything20:16
iloweJoeNu2Linux: also, you won't gain that trust until you use the system and debug it a couple of times20:16

vineside_hi everyone i have a question about vim...20:30
sebsebsebvox: the next release many should do a nice clean install of really,  since  default Ext4 :)  not for 9.04 Ext3 upgrades though,   and the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion probably won't be quite good enoguh20:30
vineside_is there a command i can use that will highlight certain words?20:30
voxsebsebseb: what?20:31
sebsebsebvox: Oh you don't know what a file system is?20:31
LaqueLaque: While the router is powered off, plug lan cable into the "IN" slot and plug another lan cable from your first computer to the "1" slot. Power it on after that and check your first computer for interent20:31

edbianI have an ubuntu server with 8 ubuntu clients.  Is there a way to easily update the software on all of the clients at once?20:32
vineside_like if i need to highlight every ip in a log but a certain one?20:32
LaqueChun1: you may need to setup your router for your connection (usually automated) by going to the router IP (commonly 192.168.1.1)20:33
geniiedbian: apt-proxy , usually20:33
Chun1iarp: yeah, it does. I think it adds my mac address to the allow list. tried spoofing the mac addr of the router and registering, but the router still didn't provide any connection20:33
sebsebsebvox: I read something about being upgraded to the next release20:33
mtnbkrvox: by release do you mean the 9.01 release that is "coming soon" ??   This is a new email server at my clients school. and I'd prefer to not go through a full system "upgrade" - not just yet anyway.20:33
iarpChun1: most of the time you can just contact helpdeck with the mac address of the item you want intenret access with and they'll manually add it to the alloowed list20:33
sebsebsebmtnbkr: oh an email server20:33
voxsebsebseb: it wasnt aimed at you. i was responding to someone else.20:33
LaqueChun1: might need to contact the network administrator so that your router may be added20:33
Moofiushow can I make an /etc/init.d script run when the computer starts? right now I have to run sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start after every restart20:33
mtnbkrsebsebseb: well, it is Zimbra on Ubunut 64bit20:34
edbiangenii:  I think that is deprecated and is now "apt-cacher"  which I thought was only a means of making the packages download faster (because they're on the local server).  Is this not correct ?20:34
sebsebsebvox: I know, but  I saw it, hence why I put what I put, but nevermind I guess20:34
iloweJoeNu2Linux: Sweet... looks like your workgroup name is ASUS1; can you go and set that in /etc/samba/smb.conf (near the top, it says "workgroup = WORKGROUP")20:34
sebsebsebmtnbkr: Which version of Ubuntu I mean the number20:34
iloweJoeNu2Linux: we're really close now!20:34
mtnbkrsebsebseb: so a full upgrade is probably not as bad as it might be, ...    how do I find out the Ubuntu verison #20:34
mtnbkrI think it was/is 8.04 server 64bit20:34
sebsebseb!version |  mtnbkr20:35
ubottumtnbkr: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> »20:35
geniiedbian: Once the initial box has the updates, the rest all use it's store of deb files, yes20:35
sebsebsebmtnbkr: really that server should be running 8.04, because it's the LTS20:35
voxmtnbkr: 9.10, yes. well, failing that you can get the source and compile it yourself i guess20:35
optgeekI'm getting ubuntu 8.04 to run on a LTSP, but I'm having some issues with it's network controller (RDC R6040). Looks like the right modules are loaded and the interface is up, but when I lspci it's ID, it seems like it's not using the module. Any ideas or starting point?20:35
edbiangenii, I'm looking for a way to update all of the software on all my clients with one command (probably from the server but you know)20:35
mtnbkrsebsebseb": thanks for that... it is 8.04.3 LTS, relase 8.04 "Hardy"20:35
edbiangenii, Is there no way to centrally administer packages for all of my clients?20:36
sebsebsebmtnbkr:  and the acstaul server version?20:36
mtnbkrvox: yeah, while i am quite capable of that (been doing this morethan 12 years, I am trying as best as I can to adhere to this distro's way of doing things where possible. :)20:36
iloweedbian: How about "for host in host1 host2 host3; do ssh $host "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade"; done"?20:36
voxedbian: there are programs around that will do group-login-and-execute, just do some googling20:36

JoeNu2Linuxilowe, no, my workgroup has always been workgroup20:38
sebsebsebmtnbkr: Did you install the desktop version and then put server stuff on it?20:38
edbianilowe, The only problem is that I have to have an ssh server running on every client (silly)20:38
iloweJoeNu2Linux: can you please double-check on your windows machine?20:38
eppleis there anyone on fiber here?20:38
ManifestHow do I make an adhoc network?20:38

edbianI'm still having trouble finding something.  Windows has "Windows Update Server"  So that you can administer updates to all of your clients.  Is there something like that for linux (ubuntu) ?20:41

sebsebsebmtnbkr: you probably don't  even need to upgrade the  file system on the server any time soon if ever really, where as many desktop Ubuntu users should be clean installing realy when 9.10 is out and  giving it a try with default Ext4, plus they got something else that also makes boot up much faster20:45

JoeNu2Linuxilowe, ok, for my info, what exactly are we doing with thAt one? super-reset sorta?20:45
mtnbkrbuh bye red-spider.20:45
iloweJoeNu2Linux: you are asking to reconfigure all installed packages20:45

iloweJoeNu2Linux: usually that will reset any changes to the "factory default"20:46
LaqueVCoolio: the 8.04 i used before had all highlighted items as the colour i selected in the theme. now using 9.04 and only the highlight on icons has changed to the selected colour20:46
iloweJoeNu2Linux: make sure you select "accept package maintainer's version" if you are asked abot replacing files20:46
sebsebsebmtnbkr: I think this answers your questions nicely,  good luck with your server, and try and get the desktops using LInux to ideally :)20:46

chilicuilhi, I'm running ubuntu 9.04, and for some unknown reason my /etc/init.d/apache2 gets overwrite every 3-5 reboots, it goes to /etc/init.d/apache2.X where X is an integer, so it doesnt boot at start up, I've checked the permisions and they both have the same, I've not upgrade the apache deamon, so I've no idea why is this happening, any help is welcome20:48
sebsebsebmtnbkr: oh you have another question  or the original question that I just saw, ok right20:48

Moofiussomeone make a program that automatically decides if it is a .tar.bz2 .tar.gz .zip whatever file, I'm tired of trying to remember all commands that unpacks em :/20:54
iGamajoebodo_, that does not mean its the best20:54
mtnbkrsebsebseb: hmmm... I use vmware-server here to run two Linux vms on a Linux server and things run quite well.   No complaints at all.   All in only 4GB ram on the physical server too.20:54
sebsebsebmtnbkr: ppa's can sometimes mess stuff up apparantly,  but usaully they will be ok,   as a result though you shoudn't get loads of them,   and the ppa sites tend to be on luanchpad.  If there isn't a ppa for  what you want, you can  maybe find an Ubuntu Deb  for it, or  of course you can compile from source20:54

javatexanI am having trouble ssh tunneling from ubuntu to a windows server share (samba) at work.  I figured I would have to set this up somehow via my linux server at work, but I have not been able to get it to work?  anyone already doing this sort of thing?20:55
mtnbkrjavatexan: that won't work...20:55
sebsebsebhikenboot: I don't know about that, but I do know that Intel graphics cards  can get right problems with 9.04, does yours work  properly otherwise?20:56
JuJuBeemtnbkr: not getting anything...20:56
ilowemtnbkr: are you looking for this? https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bacula/+archive/ppa20:56
Moofiusmtnbkr: that gives what type of file it is, but getting that it's a bzip2 does not help me to remember the "tar xzcvfdsfge" command20:56
mtnbkrssh will allow you to create TCP tunnels but windows "sharing" is a combination of TCP and UDP   you need to look into a VPN (openVPN maybe?)20:56

bradois there a better channel for VPN questions?20:59
JuJuBeemtnbkr: any suggestions?  I even tried setting my ip on laptop manually and cannot ping the server interface (eth1)20:59

sebsebsebhikenboot: I haven't tried it personally for 3D gaming, but  Virtualbox 3.0+  have  support for Direct3D 8 or whatever, so maybe it will work in that21:00
mtnbkrJuJuBee: your "DHCP problem" now appears to not be a DHCP problem at all...   :)21:00
iGamaoo ok21:00
hikenbootsebsebseb, they tell me in winehq its an opengl problem21:01
sebsebsebhikenboot: of course they need enough RAM to  run a Windows virtual machine21:01
iGamaMoofius, in that case i don't know :)21:01
rafaelmtnbkr: Do you have experience with it? is it possible to consult books online?21:01
andrew__rafael, yes it is free to use... i don't think it is open sourced however... more of a service they provide on facebook.  they may have a stand alone program, but I am unaware of one.  e-mail them.  they intend you to add books you have read, and want to read and it shares that information with your friends21:01
JoeNu2Linuxilowe, should i reboot?21:01
JuJuBeemtnbkr: I think you are correct.  But eth1 appears to be up and I know the switch is working...21:01
foofishMoofius: apt-get install unp21:01

mtnbkrJuJuBee: maybe you are working with the wrong interface (or Ubuntu changed it on you at some point)    I haev seen this in other distros.21:04
sebsebsebhikenboot: Dual booting for only one game,  isn't that bad really,  as long as Windows is secure enough as well of course, if Internet connected21:04
JuJuBeemtnbkr: on the server?  I have eth0 (my outside connection) and eth1(my inside connection)21:05

JuJuBeeIt was still set to dhcp... set ip manually21:07

JuJuBeethe laptop...21:07
hikenbootok thanks21:07
VCoolioLaque: new wave then; probably in /usr/share/themes; if there are no images paste the gtkrc file; I'll see if I can point you to the lines you need to edit21:07
javatexanhere's an ugly idea...I guess I could mount the windows share to my linux box since they are both behind firewall, then I should be able to ssh to linux box or even just make a nautilis bookmark to it....man that is ugly though....I was hoping for a cleaner, more secure way of doing this.21:07

LaqueVCoolio: yep, it's images21:08
JuJuBeemtnbkr: correct21:08
LaqueVCoolio: I'll just gimp them21:08
mtnbkrand on the laptop  ifconfig shows how may "eth" interfaces?21:09
sebsebsebmtnbkr: hikenboot   in fact  the most secure way to run Windows would be in a virtual machine,  where  you can do normal things to make it reasonably secure as well,  then if you get infected or whatever,  just delete  the virtual hard disk it's on like a normal file, and use a clean copy, or re install onto a new virtual hard disk21:09
VCoolioLaque: it'll need root permissions; better copy them to your desktop, then gimp, then sudo mv back or "gksudo nautilus"21:09
JuJuBeemtnbkr: the laptop has only one wired interface21:09
JuJuBeemtnbkr: the wired interface works because I had it connected to the wifi router and it was obtaining an ip21:10
LaqueVCoolio: meh, i just used gksudo nautilus lol\21:10
sebsebsebmtnbkr:   hikenboot  easier than having to remove an infected partition21:10

Factranbastid_raZor  : It worked perfectly. But I had already a more serious problem : X doesn't launch everytime. After the boot, just after "Launching gdm", sometimes the pc has a blank (and/or black) screen. From this point, I'm unable to switch console. And ubuntu doesn't launch. Any ideas ?21:25

evilreignYay, I got in.21:28
evilreignOk, so here's a very weird question21:28
evilreignI've come to the conclusion the box I have i can't run a raid on it... I'm attempting a RAID 1...21:28
evilreignAnd IDE just won't cut it unless I spree for the RAID controller as the bus will cut the speed of the hdd's in half.21:29
guntbertbuttons840: you should have told us about screen, there the scrolling is done differently21:29
vapsebsebseb: thanks man, i'll see what I can do21:29
mtnbkrJuJuBee: set it back to the IP you wanted manually and plug in your laptop to the eth1 of the server with a crossover cable, set the laptop to a manual ip in the same subnet and see if they can ping each other. If yes, then there is something wrong with your router/switch dealie21:29

ThraeHey. My router's mdadm software raid setup is only partially working now. (Worked for years, and **I** messed it up) Whenever I create the array on one harddrive using "missing", it doesn't start when I switch to the other harddrive. Oddly enough, the same RAID1 setup for swap space is working fine. I've been troubleshooting for days. When I reboot and add in root=/dev/md0 (the new array), it'll eventually drop me to ...21:38
Thrae... initramfs, and a viewing of dmesg shows mdadm thinks /dev/md0 has no devices. Yet mdadm --examine /dev/hda1 reports the superblock correctly, and says it's clean. But the kernel only auto-detects one raid device, and /proc/mdstat only shows one as well.21:38

RS-232HI all22:37
elopsor am I going to get screwed trying to run updates?22:37
BaGyelops, 6GB :)22:37
RS-232I have just installed Amarok 2.0.2 in Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits, it does not play any sound, when I try to configure it, I find that there are no options for that under Settings..Any clue? thanks22:37
maykii did:  ls -R My\ Videos > $HOME/Desktop/VideoList.txt, and now have a file with all my videos listed in there, but it lists directories and spaces them, is there a command so i can remove all lines with / and empty lines?22:37
helpdeskae86-drifter_ actually i ran the command apt-get install gnome-lokki22:37
helpdeskand then, i got the error link22:37
sebsebsebelops: at least 8GB22:37
elopsor am I going to get screwed trying to run updates?22:38
elopsmy kiosk install is only 2.6gb22:38
ae86-drifterdont use apt get, just google it, download it and run the deb package22:38
elopsbut I don't have xbmc or anything on there22:38
loshaelops: Hmm. I currently have an 8.04 install using about 4.1G, but it doesn't allow for much in the way of data files or big programs...22:38
sebsebsebelops: depends on what your going to install22:38
elopsand that's on an 80gb drive22:38
ae86-drifterobviously the repository has a dead link22:38
elopsthese boxes have a CF slot on the motherboard, and I have a 4gb CF card I could try it with22:38
helpdeskae86-drifter: do you understand how the error link came about now? i didnt type it myself, it was the result i got after i typed in the cmd apt-get intall gnome-lokki22:38
sebsebsebelops: and also if your going to have resoanblly big data files or not in home22:38
helpdeskae86-drfier: exactly, how do i fix it?22:38
mikinanuqjoeyeye_: I guess the only other reason could be if you setup your domain name to something that is on the internet then it might pick up a host at SOSO.domain.com  and  soso.local  something like that ... do you remember setting up a domain that can be resolved on the internet?22:38

joeyeye_mikinanuq: no, but I think I'd like to try out other DNS servers on the internet. Perhaps my ISP's DNS servers are deliberately "trying to help me" by pointing me to one of their servers.22:40

steven_Where can I find educational programs for Ubuntu?  For instance, I would like to find flash cards for elementary math for my kid.  Do programs like this exist anywhere?22:42
HahahanRS-232: Yes but I compiled a former version of Amarok, the one shipped with 9.04 was troublesome.22:42
helpdesksebsebseb: well, it all started when i tried to filter out ssh from my firewall.22:42

voxelops: err.. why?22:44
ae86-drifterelops: it wouldnt be a clean install if you install over the top of something22:44
voxJordan_U: windows can aswell22:44
vieqJordan_U: it came with Vista 64-bit pre installed22:44
Jordan_Uvieq: I thought you said it was a 32 bit processor?22:45
mnaines1vieq: If it came with Vista 64 installed, then its a 64-bit computer22:45
vieqwhich I got me tottaly confused cause both Fedora or Ubuntu 64 refused to install22:45
mikinanuqjoeyeye_: arg, you may need to put a sniffer or sometihng to analyze the packets and figure it out. It's strange, the way around it is to put soso and SOSO in your hosts file and bypass the DNS but it would be nice to know why it's doing it.22:45
elops can I just install a clean install, and then copy another install over the top of it?22:45

mikinanuqelops: I knew the 'why' was coming... there is a thing called dependencies, programs depend on other programs to all be synched and to work properly. I'm not saying that it can't be done but you have to know your stuff because when stuff starts breaking you'll have some troubleshooting to do.22:49
vieqJordan_U: perhaps there is something not right with my burned cd's, I do not know22:49
kora-chanhey, i use aspell for correcting my latex files. is there any other tool for correcting spelling mistakes, since the command line version of aspel doesnt seem to recognize the äöü character when i do a replace. apart from the the german dictionary is really small. any suggestions?22:49

kora-chanJordan_U: do you know alternatives for english, since i write most of my papers in english?22:52
mikinanuqFome: as a general rule, you may want to change the channel that your router funcions on. Most routers come default on chan 6, while 11 and 3 are perfectly available and usually unused. change the channel22:52
vieqJordan_U: do I need to pay attention to anything else?22:52
kora-chansebsebseb: latex is a typesetting system which is mostly used for mathematical papers and stuff since formula rendering is pretty good22:52

ZloboMiR_82Hello, tried to find some solution but no look. Was trying several distros before Ubuntu, one of them (no ad) has asked to reinitialize my 1TB NTFS drive. Now I see the drive only with some utilities, can't recover partition. Any hope?23:16
iGamatina_, that is not a virus. Have you already rebooted ?23:16
system404sebsebseb: all that explains is that its unlikely that any linux written virus would have an affect on you due to the way its all setup but it dont mean its impossible if someone out there really knew what they was doin im sure they could find a way right23:16
allanswell i have an excel sheet with data for example name address etc i want to merge that data into several ms word templates and make the data go into the specified field on the word docs but im not sure how to do it :(23:17
loshaLunis: download the manufacturers diagnostic disk and run the diagnostics. With any luck, this will reallocate the damaged sectors. Note that any kind of physical damage on modern drives tends to spread over time. Personally, I would backup any data while you still can and buy a new disk, using the damaged one for scratch storage only...23:17
sebsebsebsystem404: sure, but I guess it stll applys that to get something malicious installed, you have to either  install it yourself, or get your computer cracked in to or something23:17
