[00:00] <shomon> I've just gone to system -> admin -> hardware drivers. it's empty!
[00:01] <shomon> it should contain fglrx
[00:01] <angryubuser> hi. anyone knows how plymouth have totally made my screen brightness darker? EVEN if I restart my computer
[00:01] <GreenWave> can the keyboard layout be changed in the command line?
[00:01] <angryubuser> even on startup screen brightness is dark
[00:02] <angryubuser> how can I fix that? bios recovery or what?
[00:02] <freapwar> are you on a laptop?
[00:02] <acerimmer_> seahorse_: http://wiki.debian.org/Grub/SplashImage
[00:02] <angryubuser> freapwar: yes
[00:03] <seahorse_> @acerimmer thnx!
[00:03] <freapwar> does it happen when you start with ac charger plugged in?
[00:03] <uLinux> Can someone help me restoring the default wine shortcuts?
[00:03] <freapwar> system>preferences>power management...
[00:03] <angryubuser> freapwar: yes. I've not tried with ac unplugged
[00:03] <freapwar> should be an option in there
[00:04] <acerimmer_> uLinux: pretty sure a panel reset would also reset wine shortcuts - but I have NOT tested that theory...
[00:04] <abstrakt_> does anyone know of a better launcher/quicklaunch/osxdock type application than just putting icons on a panel in gnome?
[00:04] <freapwar> yes
[00:04] <uLinux> acerimmer_: how do I do that?
[00:04] <abstrakt_> i'm somewhat dissatisfied with the panel for two (albeit very minor) reasons
[00:04] <acerimmer_> !docky|abstrakt
[00:04] <freapwar> try dockey
[00:04] <abstrakt_> is it fast?
[00:05] <acerimmer_> !panels|uLinux
[00:05] <abstrakt_> erm, don't need to reset my panels thanks
[00:05] <angel__> hello
[00:05] <abstrakt_> i like em the way i've customized em
[00:05] <uLinux> that will delete all the other shortcuts.. lol
[00:05] <angel__> how i can delete nvidia drivers and install vesa?
[00:05] <freapwar> @abstrakt look for docky
[00:05] <freapwar> did that work angry?
[00:05] <abstrakt_> freapwar, yeh i will do that
[00:05] <abstrakt_> actually three reasons come to mind now that i'm looking at it again...
[00:05] <freapwar> its the best one out there
[00:06] <uLinux> can someone just copy the shortcuts to wine
[00:06] <GreenWave> can the keyboard layout be changed in the command line?
[00:06] <angryubuser> freapwar: you don't understand me. plymouth have broken my display - it's now darker. it's not affected by unplugged ac power
[00:06] <angel1> hello
[00:06] <loki20> I fixed my Toshiba Satellite laptop that would not recognize any usb devices except a mouse by updating the bios from 1.3 to 2.3. Just info for anyone with this problem.
[00:06] <CynthiaG> Is there a way I could find out *exactly* which files are read in which order, on the ISOLINUX screen of the Lucid LiveCD?
[00:07] <angel1> how i i have problems with videocard... its broken.. and work only with disabled acceleration in windows
[00:07] <angel1> with nvidia drivers X not work
[00:07] <freapwar> Were you able to adjust anything in the power options? There is a brightness setting where you can set a default brightness...
[00:07] <angel1> how i can install just clear Vesa and run?
[00:07] <freapwar> I'm not understanding.. What do you mean by 'broke'?
[00:07] <freapwar> did you download and install all restricted drivers for your video card?
[00:07] <angel1> videocard works only with Disabled Hardware Acceleration in windows
[00:08] <freapwar> don't use windows
[00:08] <angel1> i cant run X
[00:08] <CynthiaG> angel: Which version of Ubuntu? Lucid?
[00:08] <CynthiaG> angel1: *
[00:08] <angel1> nvidia drivers with - Option "NoAccel" "True", and "Accel" "False" dont work
[00:08] <angel1> CynthiaG: 10.04
[00:09] <angel1> cant run X in any dist fck, work only windows in disabled harware accel
[00:09] <raverjunpei> Hello all.
[00:09] <angel1> ( how i can run X windows system without nvidia or nouveau?
[00:10] <CynthiaG> angel1: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nv xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[00:10] <CynthiaG> (+) Then check again that your xorg.conf is not using nv or nouveau
[00:10] <seahorse_> @acerimmer_ any other ideas?
[00:11] <uLinux> Can someone help me restoring the default wine shortcuts?
[00:11] <angel1> CynthiaG: ty, and its run in clear vesa?
[00:11] <CynthiaG> angel1: (+) Also check that you're not running the 'restricted' driver for nvidia (fglrx, I think)
[00:11] <raverjunpei> Got a problem....I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my machine, i went to dual boot xp, i fixed my mbr and when i go to choose windows i get a Error 12: invalid device requested. How can i fix this to load windows?
[00:11] <CynthiaG> angel1: It should use vesa afterwards
[00:11] <uLinux> is it so difficul to go to PReferences > Main menu ,, look for wine and help?
[00:11] <abstrakt_> does docky require installing Do?
[00:12] <CynthiaG> uLinux, please - you had only asked your question 31 seconds before
[00:12] <uLinux> CynthiaG: I asked long time ago before tha
[00:12] <uLinux> t
[00:12] <CynthiaG> uLinux, in Synaptic go to 'wine' and mark it for reinstallation. That should restore the files.
[00:13] <CynthiaG> uLinux: Oh, sorry. I just joined. :)
[00:13] <shomon> hi, I've installed the proprietary graphics driver for opengl, and now it gives a segfault even in glxgears
[00:13] <uLinux> CynthiaG: I uinstalled it and installed it
[00:13] <petergriff> hi, ubuntu 10.04 64bits + vbox 3.2.4, it makes my entire system (8gb 1cpu/6core) extremely slow.....any suggestions?
[00:13] <uLinux> reinstallation shouldnt work
[00:13] <uLinux> but ill try
[00:13] <abstrakt_> who makes a 6 core cpu?
[00:14] <CynthiaG> uLinux: then you've checked, in the said Main Menu option, that Wine has all of its icons shown? and the icons are just not there even in Main Menu?
[00:14] <uLinux> CynthiaG: they are all gone
[00:15] <uLinux> CynthiaG: after uninstallation if left some wine folders and stuff then i deleted them but after reinstalling wine it didnt add
[00:15] <raverjunpei> Got a problem....I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my machine, i went to dual boot xp, i fixed my mbr and when i go to choose windows i get a Error 12: invalid device requested. How can i fix this to load windows?
[00:15] <uLinux> *it
[00:15] <shomon> any idea how to get opengl working? a backtrace of a crashed random gl app gives "0x00193ef6 in XF86DRIQueryExtension () from /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1"
[00:15] <CynthiaG> uLinux: then something must have hidden the .desktop files (launchers) while leaving them there. 'sudo apt-get purge wine' and reinstall wine again
[00:16] <CynthiaG> (Repeat from 10 min ago) Is there a way I could find out *exactly* which files are read in which order, on the ISOLINUX screen of the Lucid LiveCD?
[00:17] <angel1> CynthiaG: sorry, can u look at that error in google =) i try to run "startx", and get error "Filed to load module "glx""
[00:17] <WJW> \whois cynthiag
[00:17] <CynthiaG> :o
[00:17] <Serraphyn> Can someone help me with samba, my windows 7 box can not see shares I make on my ubuntu 10.04 64-bit system
[00:18]  * CynthiaG puts WJW's / on the right side again
[00:18] <shomon> CynthiaG, not sure but it sounds possible... the iso probably just runs a script...
[00:18] <thune3> CynthiaG: what you you mean "on the ISOLINUX screen"?
[00:18] <shomon> Serraphyn, did you create a user without a home dir?
[00:18] <uLinux> CynthiaG: After this operation, 65.5kB disk space will be freed.
[00:18] <dougb> in some full screen programs, my volume controls act erratically.  They will go up and down on their own.  I have an HP Pavilion dv4 with an i3 intel processor running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit
[00:18] <PhoenixSTF> Has anyone tried openmosix or chaos here?
[00:18] <uLinux> only that?
[00:18] <Serraphyn> shomon, nope both systems have same User/password for login
[00:18] <CynthiaG> thune: The screen that appears briefly just before the purple screen with the options for boot
[00:18] <CynthiaG> shomon: I only know the first file, isolinux/boot.cat
[00:19] <CynthiaG> uLinux: only that
[00:19] <uLinux> CynthiaG: autoremove 103mb
[00:19] <bricky> hey to burn a bootable image can I just use an ISO and dvd creator and burn it
[00:19] <CynthiaG> uLinux: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove, to remove wine's dependencies
[00:19] <CynthiaG> not just autoremove
[00:20] <seahorse_> acerimmer_ thanks but couldn't find a clean /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme there
[00:20] <shomon> ok not sure sorry CynthiaG
[00:20] <seahorse_> grrr
[00:20] <angel1> How-to run X windows system without nvidia and nouveau drivers?
[00:20] <CynthiaG> shomon: no worries, that is a quite advanced question I'm asking, I know :P
[00:20] <CynthiaG> angel1: ? "Failed to load module "glx" (a required submodule could not be loaded, 0)"
[00:20] <angel1> CynthiaG: yep that sh1t
[00:21] <Keith-BlindUser> How do I resolve the sudo Unable to resolve hostname noe? I've tried everything, hostname-f says Unknown instance, and now my machine is not working properly. I've tried every single thing known. DO I resintall?
[00:21] <SlidingHorn> angel1: well that depends...what graphics card are you running?  Those may be the only drivers available for that card
[00:21] <Keith-BlindUser> I meant hostname none that is
[00:21] <CynthiaG> angel1: I found that on an ubuntuforums thread, can you view web pages on your computer right now?
[00:21] <angel1> SlidingHorn: GeForce 8400M (little broken) work only in windows with Disable Hardware Accel
[00:21] <uLinux> < CynthiaG> uLinux: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove, to remove wine's dependencies
[00:21] <uLinux> doesnt affect other apps?
[00:22] <angel1> CynthiaG: nope (( i see only irc in weechat and console(
[00:22] <CynthiaG> uLinux: other applications' dependencies will still be "used", and so since you removed only wine, only wine's dependencies will be eligible for removal
[00:22] <uLinux> hmmok
[00:22] <CynthiaG> uLinux: (+) and the configuration files will also be removed by --purge autoremove
[00:23] <CynthiaG> angel1: The thread says that two or three guides (from other different threads) didn't work for the person. Looking further.
[00:23] <unop> !hostname | Keith-BlindUser
[00:23] <CynthiaG> angel1: By the way, you can install text-mode web browsers such as Lynx, ELinks and w3m and research in that
[00:25] <angel1> CynthiaG: try lynx now
[00:25] <thune3> CynthiaG: is there something specific you want to change in the isolinux boot?
[00:25] <CynthiaG> thune3: I want to order the files one right after the other in the CD to completely eliminate seeking, as part of LiveCD optimisation work
[00:26] <CyL> Is there a way to create a launcher for a script that wouldn't open a terminal?
[00:26] <bricky> hey
[00:26] <bricky> what program could I burn 'image' cds with?
[00:26] <CyL> bricky: brasero
[00:26] <CynthiaG> bricky: cdrecord, brasero, k3b (kde)
[00:27] <bricky> i burned one with dvd creator and it just placed the ISO on there without making it an image hehe thanks'
[00:27] <unop> CyL, just call the script from the launcher ??
[00:27] <Veer> Hi. Question : how do i save channel infomation in XChat there isnt any save button and it keep changing back to default O.o
[00:27] <Purpley> It wont work
[00:27] <CynthiaG> CyL: when you're creating your launcher (assuming GNOME), instead of "Application with Terminal" you can use Type: "Application"
[00:27] <Purpley> Why wont ubuntu detect my mouse?
[00:27] <gothenburg> Didn't we agree that I should go to sleep?
[00:27] <Purpley> It used to work, but now it doesnt
[00:28] <CyL> CynthiaG: even if it is a script?
[00:28] <gothenburg> Purpley: My car is broken. Whats's the problem? By the way, it is red!
[00:28] <CynthiaG> CyL: yes
[00:28] <Veer> anyone???
[00:28] <gothenburg> Veer: RTFM
[00:28] <SlidingHorn> gothenburg: i'm laughing on the inside...but just ask for more info, lol -- btw..it's the alternator
[00:28] <gothenburg> Veer: look at Xchat's homepage
[00:28] <thune3> CynthiaG: i doubt the isolinux section of LiveCD boot even falls into the noise of the total boot. Some time ago i played with a distro, where these guys did extensive access profiling and rearranging the data on the cd:  http://www.alpha.co.jp/biz/rdg/ac-knoppix/index_en.html
[00:28] <Purpley> gothenburg: Ok, I really dont have much to go on except that I installed btnx beforehand
[00:28] <unop> CyL, you only need a terminal if you are going to interact with the script - i.e. view it's output or enter something with the keyboard, etc
[00:29] <gothenburg> SlidingHorn: ;)
[00:29] <CyL> CynthiaG, unop: thanks for the advice.. the is a launcher for google earth
[00:29] <gothenburg> Purpley: is it USB?
[00:29] <Purpley> Its called a "support" channel
[00:29] <Purpley> gothenburg: Yes, its plug and play
[00:29] <gothenburg> Purpley: And to give support the question must contain information
[00:29] <patty_> hello
[00:30] <CynthiaG> thune3: thanks, will read
[00:30] <Keith-BlindUser> I see the format of /etc/hostname as 127.0.0.1 localhost <NameOfMachine> is that correct?
[00:30] <gothenburg> Keith-BlindUser: yes
[00:30] <Keith-BlindUser> without the greatorthen signs, and such obviously
[00:30] <Purpley> Or actually, why does my wireless mouse lag when there is a flash video playing?
[00:30] <patty_>    is this  achat room and help room
[00:30] <gothenburg> Purpley: Is it Wireless?
[00:30] <Purpley> Sometimes it wont register clicks and it moves very slowly and sometimes wont respond at all and yes
[00:30] <SlidingHorn> patty_: this is a support room for ubuntu users
[00:30] <gothenburg> Purpley: Flash.....
[00:31] <gothenburg> Purpley: look at the CPU
[00:31] <Purpley> gothenburg: Adobe Flash Player
[00:31] <b0n1> if i have a file that i can run in console on double click, what is the command for running it in console
[00:31] <Keith-BlindUser> I don't have DHCP in use, my machine still sets itself to none on boot, no matter what I do, and if I attempt to start up the hostname service it syas unknown instance. Using 64-bit Lucid
[00:31] <b0n1> i have to run it with root
[00:31] <gothenburg> Purpley: I know. And Flash isn't the best "program" in the world
[00:31] <SlidingHorn> b0n1: navigate to the directory containing the app in your terminal and type: sudo ./filename
[00:32] <Purpley> gothenburg: Theres no chance im maxing out all 4 of my cores by playing a flash movie
[00:32] <b0n1> thx
[00:32] <Keith-BlindUser> Att eh moment sudo isn't working whatsoever. faliling to resolv hostname none.
[00:32] <Keith-BlindUser> failing*
[00:32] <gothenburg> b0n1: sudo och gksudo if it is GUI
[00:32] <SlidingHorn> bon1: +1 to what gothenburg said
[00:32] <astropirate> can i ask about programmer here?
[00:32] <astropirate> *programming
[00:33] <Keith-BlindUser> I disabled X for the moent, but that's still not helping. Any other reasons why none is setting itself on boot and the hostname service is not starting?
[00:33] <Jon--> Note: I am installing BackTrack, but they both use same Debian-based installer, very very similar. Issue: It seems to be forzen on "Resizing partition..." in the prepare disk space step. Can this take a very very long time? Help.
[00:33] <gothenburg> Purpley: still Flash isn't the best program in the world. And have you installed the gfx drivers?
[00:33] <Purpley> gothenburg: Yeah, there going up to 20%
[00:33] <h00k> astropirate: it's probably not the best place, no
[00:33] <SlidingHorn> astropirate: probably not the best place here...
[00:33] <gothenburg> Jon--: and this channel is UBUNTU
[00:33] <CynthiaG> Purpley: that may occur because X in Ubuntu (and Unix in general) handles both the video output and the mouse access. Thus both actions are kind of "synchronous" on X, which cannot use more than one core.
[00:33] <b0n1> SlidingHorn,  unknown command sudo ./
[00:33] <Keith-BlindUser> And the strangest thing is that both /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname contain matching names.
[00:33] <b0n1> sudo och gksudo gothenburg  ?
[00:33] <SlidingHorn> b0n1: what distro are you using??
[00:33] <b0n1> ubuntu
[00:33] <Keith-BlindUser> So do I reinstall the system entirely? Or what. I may need to reformat and whipe the box to reset this issue.
[00:33] <seahorse_> OK....can anyone, ANYONE help me find a clean vanilla /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
[00:33] <Purpley> Jon
[00:34] <Pici> Jon--: Backtrack has their own support channel: #backtrack-linux, we do not support backtrack in #ubuntu
[00:34] <h00k> Jon--: Backtrack support can be found in #backtrack-linux
[00:34] <CynthiaG> astropirate: #ubuntu-app-devel or #ubuntu-devel (-devel is for core programming, -app-devel is for programming GUIs and userland 'apps' in general)
[00:34] <gothenburg> b0n1: you should teach yourself about the Terminal. Sudo is a substitude to root
[00:34] <SlidingHorn> b0n1: what is the full path to the file?  (with the file name and extension if there is one)
[00:34] <b0n1> SlidingHorn,  i can do ./file but not sudo ./file
[00:34] <Purpley> #backtrack-linux and plus resize it with g-parted
[00:34] <Purpley> gothenburg: Yes im using it
[00:34] <unop> Keith-BlindUser, no, all you need to do is boot up into the "recovery mode" to do this
[00:35] <b0n1> its just a file called MathInstaller
[00:35] <WJW> seahorse_:  You want mine?
[00:35] <b0n1> if i run it with ./Mathinstaller i cant continue because i dont have the rights
[00:35] <CaptainTrek> what do i install to update time continually?
[00:35] <CynthiaG> b0n1: careful with that, Linux filenames are case-sensitive!
[00:35] <b0n1> yes
[00:36] <Keith-BlindUser> Could I boot into a LiveCD, and chroot into the system partition to do this as well? I could fire up the Ubuntu CD and do that too.
[00:36] <h00k> CaptainTrek: Check out NTP
[00:36] <b0n1> but thats not the problem because i have already run it
[00:36] <patty_>  are there other chat room here   if so  ow do i find them
[00:36] <gothenburg> b0n1: do "sudo su" first
[00:36] <Keith-BlindUser> As far as the hostname stuff goes
[00:36] <b0n1> ok
[00:36] <CynthiaG> b0n1: I ask because you just said two different "cases" for that filename in here, it was just a precaution
[00:36] <arand> seahorse_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/449874/ I don't think it should be modded from default lucid..
[00:36] <gothenburg> Keith-BlindUser: yes
[00:36] <Purpley> gothenburg: My computer is a gaming rig, I doubt its a hardware issue, but a software issue
[00:36] <unop> Keith-BlindUser, sure you could do that -- but "recovery mode" is likely to be quicker
[00:37] <unop> Keith-BlindUser, although you'll need to be comfortable working with the shell in the "recovery mode"
[00:37] <b0n1> bash: ./MathInstaller permission denied
[00:37] <gothenburg> Purpley: Still Flash isn't the best program and it is well known that flash gives problem
[00:37] <gothenburg> Purpley: try look it up in the forums
[00:37] <b0n1> if i do sudo su  and then ./MathInstaller
[00:37] <unop> b0n1, chmod +x ./MathInstaller;  ./MathInstaller
[00:38] <gothenburg> ;)
[00:38] <Purpley> gothenburg: The flash movie plays fine with no lag, its just the mouse that begins to lag
[00:38] <gothenburg> b0n1: why isn't you using synaptic?
[00:38] <Jon--> I am installing Ubuntu 10.04 and it seems to be frozen on "Resizing partition..." in the prepare disk space step. Can this take a very very long time, or do I have a possible issue here? How can I fix this? I don't want to lose my Win7 partition here...
[00:38] <gothenburg> Purpley: yes. And it is not the mouse that causes that problems
[00:38] <h00k> Jon--: You said before that you're using Backtrack.
[00:39] <WJW> Jon--: Probably best to avoid interrupting it if possible.
[00:39] <Purpley> gothenburg: Are they any quick fixes for these problems or am I stuck?
[00:39] <h00k> Jon--: that is not supported here, please see #backtrack-linux for Backtrack support (/join #backtrack-linux)
[00:39] <CynthiaG> Jon--: resizing takes a long time. If the disk activity LED is on solid, don't interrupt it
[00:39] <gothenburg> Purpley: as I said. Have you looked in the forum?
[00:39] <b0n1> you may need to be logged in as root to continue the installation
[00:39] <gothenburg> It should give answer
[00:39] <b0n1> on chmod +x ...
[00:40] <Jon--> CynthiaG: My disk activity light is not on, as far as I can tell.
[00:40] <gothenburg> b0n1: then sudo first
[00:40] <gothenburg> or have prompt looking #
[00:40] <Jon--> CynthiaG: I cannot hear my hard-drive either, it's like there's no activity going on.
[00:40] <Purpley> gothenburg: No not yet I just wanted to know
[00:40] <CynthiaG> Jon--: can you open a terminal and issue the command "top" and say if a process is using 100% CPU, and if so which process
[00:40] <h00k> Jon--: Please take this to #backtrack-linux.
[00:40] <b0n1> same answer
[00:40] <Jon--> CynthiaG: Highest is 4%
[00:41] <gothenburg> Purpley: the problem is well known and often discussed in the forum. And then look in the Wiki.
[00:41] <Jon--> h00k: This is not backtrack.
[00:41] <b0n1> its so strange, and if i mount the image with root rights, then i cant cd into the directory
[00:41] <patty_> what is this
[00:41] <b0n1> because i dont have permission
[00:41] <gothenburg> b0n1: what's the name of the program?
[00:41] <h00k> Jon--: I'm finding it hard to believe that you're having the same problem at the same time with both.
[00:41] <CynthiaG> Jon--: I asked because I was recently made aware of an issue where GParted would use 100% CPU after a NTFS resize operation, yet it was fully completed and the person could reboot into Windows with only a short chkdsk
[00:42] <patty_>  oh well
[00:42] <b0n1> its mathematica and i could install it on my old ubuntu so it works, its a problem with the rights here
[00:42] <b0n1> if i mount it as root i dont have the permission to cd to the directory
[00:42] <h00k> !crosspost | Jon--
[00:42] <b0n1> if i dont mount it as root i can cd to the mathinstaller but not run it
[00:43] <b0n1> i use furiusisomount maybe thats a bad program
[00:43] <b0n1> its a .bin file
[00:44] <b0n1> so are there alternatives?
[00:44] <Jon--> h00k: No one in #backtrack-linux ever assists anyone. This is not a BT specific issue. It's gparted + debian installer. Virtually identical to Ubuntu. I have waited for an answer for 6 hours in #backtrack-linux before. Is it such a crime to want assistance?
[00:45] <aliciapg> does anyone know where i can set the resolution of the login screen in 9.10?
[00:45] <CynthiaG> Jon--: What is your partition formatted as?
[00:45] <h00k> Jon--: This is still not appropriate for this channel.  This channel is for Ubuntu support only, as seen in /topic.  If you're having problems getting support, I suggest the backtrack forums or IRC channel.
[00:45] <mneptok> Jon--: what version of gparted does BT use, and which does Ubuntu use? and if patchsets have been applied, what do those patchsets contain?
[00:45] <SlidingHorn> b0n1: *Disclaimer* This method is NOT recommended, but it could work.  I would be VERY careful about doing this if I were to do it at all, but.. </disclaimer> You could possibly do it by opening your file manager with sudo then opening the file...again..it's HIGHLY frowned upon to use a graphical file manager with root privileges
[00:45] <Jon--> CynthiaG: It's resizing an NTFS partition with Windows 7 installed.
[00:46] <Daekdroom> SlidingHorn, what's wrong with opening a file manager with sudo?
[00:46] <CynthiaG> NTFS partitions have trouble with ending a resize properly. It just hangs at the end. Sometimes it uses 100% CPU, sometimes it just hangs. :|
[00:46] <b0n1> ok SlidingHorn
[00:46] <SlidingHorn> daekdroom: because you can do serious damage to your system without any kind of warning or questioning
[00:47] <Jon--> CynthiaG: Ahh hell. I just went to run GParted to get the version (someone had asked) and I think it canceled the process. I really hope that didn't damage anything.
[00:48] <SlidingHorn> daekdroom & b0n1: one thing about linux is that it assumes you know what you're doing (for better or for worse).  When you are in a graphical mode with root privileges, you won't be questioned no matter what you try to do, and that is dangerous and highly advised against
[00:48] <mats> Hi, can not get my eyetoy webcam to work proper (with ov51x driver)
[00:49] <SlidingHorn> !details | mats
[00:49] <tm0> Ello, how do i disable bluetooth?
[00:50] <shomon> maybe system/preferences/bluetooth, tm0
[00:50] <mats> ubuntu karmic. hvere to post output?
[00:50] <tm0> shomon that disables it completely?
[00:51] <SlidingHorn> mats: outputs are better posted @ http://paste.ubuntu.org
[00:51] <SlidingHorn> mats: http://paste.ubuntu.com ** sorry, wrong url
[00:51] <shomon> no clue. I've got a usb bluetooth key so I've never needed to disable it completely
[00:51] <Jon--> CynthiaG: Sorry to bother you, just a quick question. I have an existing GRUB version installed. Installing a new OS. Should I untick "Install bootloader" and add an entry for the OS in grub.cfg, or is it easier to install over GRUB?
[00:51] <vinicius_> i just updated to 10.4. back in 9.10, 1600x1024 worked ok, now when i change to 1600x1024 the screen seems to be "too small", it doesnt work properly, any help?
[00:51] <aliciapg> does anyone know where i can set the resolution of the login screen in ubuntu 9.10?
[00:51] <shomon> I guess you can check by looking for it on your phone if you have one...
[00:52] <aliciapg> actually does anyone know how to fix the ubuntu 9.10 login loop
[00:52] <shomon> is fglrx a recommended driver for opengl?
[00:52] <l337ingDisorder> Can anyone suggest a one-liner that will just eat up N megabytes of ram and then read, waiting for user input?

[00:53] <m0nk3y> I have figured out how to rip a .vob file from my dvd, then extract an .ac3 file from the audio stream I want.  Now I have a vob file and an ac3 file.  would someone please help me to make an x264-encoded?synched? .avi or .mp4 file using the two files?
[00:53] <shomon> m0nk3y, you can use avidemux for that I think
[00:53] <shomon> loads of forums and answers online...
[00:53] <wildbat> Jon--, update-grub may be easier
[00:54] <Hans_Henrik> not sure exactly what i did, but ive been messing around with /dev/null , and now the command "echo test>/dev/null && cat /dev/null" gives the output "test"
[00:54] <Hans_Henrik> how can i fix /dev/null?
[00:54] <Jon--> wildbat: But bottom line is, don't install over existing GRUB, untick install bootloader, and then add this new OS from Ubuntu?
[00:55] <h00k> Jon--: Check Backtrack's documentation about Grub.
[00:55] <CynthiaG> Hans_Henrik: sudo mknod /dev/null c 1 3
[00:56] <SlidingHorn> Jon--: that would be my choice, but I'd check with people who are more experienced than I am...just my 2 cents :)
[00:56] <m0nk3y> shomon: thx - ill check that out.
[00:56] <shomon> np m0nk3y
[00:56] <aliciapg> does anyone have an idea why ubuntu 9.10 is looping whenever i attempt to login?
[00:56] <wildbat> Jon--, yes
[00:57] <Hans_Henrik> CynthiaG: ty, worked
[00:57] <shomon> can you log in just from the terminal aliciapg ?
[00:57] <SlidingHorn> aliciapg: could you give a little more detail...what's happening exactly?
[00:57] <shomon> as in by pressing ctrl-alt f1?
[00:57] <Jon--> wildbat: Thank you Sir.
[00:57] <Jon--> wildbat: In return, I'll help at least 4-5 people in here, when I can and with issues I can [easy stuff].
[00:58] <aliciapg> SlidingHorn: once i login, it brings me back to the login screen
[00:58] <mats> hvat does this mean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/449887/
[00:59] <SlidingHorn> aliciapg: (from shomon) can you login from terminal? (ctrl-alt-F1)
[00:59] <aliciapg> SlidingHorn: yes
[00:59] <fatbob> How do i copy a file from one computer to another in command line over the internet?

[01:00] <fatbob> man scp

[01:00] <root__> omg i run Xs in Backtrack4 in safe graphical mode (but 800x600) how i can do that on my system?
[01:00] <okapi14> hi to all
[01:00] <uLinux> alacarte is weird it's letting me enable/add menus
[01:00] <uLinux> not letting..
[01:00] <WJW> b0n1:  Say sudo sh (or sudo su) so you become god.  Verify you are god by entering "id".  Your user id should be zero.  Mount the file system that has your Mathematica on it.  Cd to the directory containing the install script or program.  Do a "file" command on that file.  What does it say?
[01:01] <okapi14> anyone know how to access a folder with a long name and space (windws standard) from a terminal or console?
[01:02] <wildbat> WJW,  b0n1, should use : sudo -i or sudo -s
[01:02] <Keith-BlindUser> Okay this is annoying the heck out of me. Has anyone else noticed this?
[01:02] <SlidingHorn> okapi14: enter a \ before the space
[01:02] <aliciapg> shomon, SlidingHorn: i know the resolution is at a really low setting, i did this intentionally when i installed
[01:02] <WJW> okapi14:  Or put the whole filename in double quotes or single quotes.
[01:02] <h00k> okapi14: you can tab-complete to help you complete directories
[01:02] <Keith-BlindUser> I have made all proper edits, and now the hostname service in lucid entirely fails to start up at all. In fact, it said: "start: Job failed to start." And remains acrossed all recovery modes known to Ubuntu as "Username@None$"
[01:03] <Flamekebab> This may be a Wine issue, not a Ubuntu one, but how come when I try to launch a game fullscreen the Gnome menu bars persist?
[01:03] <h00k> Keith-BlindUser: have you seen the !hostname factoid?
[01:03] <Keith-BlindUser> Nothing is working at all. The question would be, why?
[01:03] <okapi14> ok guys, thanks
[01:03] <SlidingHorn> okapi14: h00k's suggestion is also a good one
[01:03] <Keith-BlindUser> What is making the hostname service not start, and why is it failing to execute?
[01:03] <h00k> !hostname | Keith-BlindUser
[01:04] <Keith-BlindUser> Note: It doesn't matter if i execute: service or start hostname start it just doesn't. :|
[01:04] <fatbob> ok so i launch scp from my local computer correct
[01:04] <okapi14> hook: what you mean by tab-complete?
[01:04] <Keith-BlindUser> Weird..the do match
[01:04] <Keith-BlindUser> they do
[01:04] <h00k> okapi14: type the first few letters of the foldername and hit 'tab'
[01:04] <Keith-BlindUser> Is there any other way to fix this pending a complete system reinstall?
[01:04] <okapi14> hook: thanks
[01:04] <aliciapg> shomon, SlidingHorn: but it also should have skipped right over the login screen
[01:05] <SlidingHorn> keith-blinduser: i believe it's /etc/init.d/hostname but I could be wrong
[01:05] <mats> what is v4l_compat_ioctl32?
[01:05] <Keith-BlindUser> On Lucid you now have a service or start startup manager.
[01:05] <okapi14> great, all suggestions works!:) thanks
[01:05] <Keith-BlindUser> In prior versions this wasn't an issue.
[01:06] <Keith-BlindUser> But I'm not about to downgrade my system, so I'm trying to find any possible solution that does not require a system reinstall.
[01:07] <R3cur51v3> I made a shortcut to run Google Chrome. When I use that shortcut, Chrome appears on top of all the other windows, but the previous window retains the focus. This is a bug, right?
[01:08] <h00k> !crosspost | R3cur51v3
[01:08] <b0n1> something is strange here i think, i mount a file and cant access it with sudo nautilus
[01:09] <b0n1> then i get permission denied

[01:09] <ryan_> Hello, does anyone know how I can get openGL or DirectX working in ubuntu?
[01:09] <b0n1> if i just acces it without sudo i can get in
[01:09] <b0n1> but not run the installer
[01:09] <R3cur51v3> b0n1, that happens
[01:09] <R3cur51v3> sshfs or encfs?
[01:09] <R3cur51v3> Anything fuse-based can do that it seems
[01:09] <SlidingHorn> !enter
[01:10] <b0n1> is it a problem of the program furius iso mount ?
[01:10] <b0n1> what is the most convenient way to mount a .bin file in ubuntu ?

[01:15] <xelados> Anyone here use gtkpod? I have a friend with ubuntu who's saying she can't use "play now" because it's calling xmms (which she doesn't even use). Is there an option somewhere in gtkpod to specify the player?
[01:15] <zecamil> gracias ubottu
[01:15] <xelados> Remote tech support with Linux is sort of a pain :X
[01:15] <uLinux> I cannot modify or delete shortcuts in ALacarte.. what bug is this?
[01:15] <xelados> uLinux: Permissions?
[01:16] <uLinux> *some shortcuts
[01:16] <h00k> xelados: Telepathy makes sharing desktops (with empathy) quite easy
[01:16] <uLinux> can I edit the menus using nautilus?
[01:16] <xelados> h00k: I'm afraid my friend doesn't have the tech savvy (and I'm not even on Ubuntu...)
[01:16] <b0n1> how do you emulate files?
[01:17] <b0n1> why dont i get answer to this question? is it so strange to emulate file or what is it?
[01:17] <xelados> Anyways, I figured gtkpod may have some sort of option for a custom player command.
[01:17] <xelados> Can anyone confirm or deny that?
[01:17] <nobarking> why is it that Kubntu & Ubuntu fonts are always better than other distros?
[01:17] <h00k> b0n1: I'm not sure what you're meaning to emulate a file. If you're trying to run a file, make sure +x is set on the file (chmod +x filename) and run it with ./filename
[01:17] <nobarking> font rendering*
[01:17] <mats> when I'm tryin to install ov51 driver on karmic i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/449887/ what shuld I do?
[01:18] <b0n1> h00k,  i still dont have permission what program do you use?
[01:18] <xelados> nobarking: Ubuntu's default packages probably include the proper libraries.
[01:18] <b0n1> i mean emulate a .bin file for example
[01:18] <xelados> Other flavors are equally capable of good font rendering.
[01:18] <CoJaBo-Aztec> How do I remove a broken package (vlc, in this case)
[01:18] <cyy> which file should I edit to add something to the PATH for all users?
[01:18] <nobarking> xelados: really? i've tried other debian based distros and debian itself, doesn't compare...
[01:19] <acerimmer_> CoJaBo-Aztec: software center - remove package
[01:19] <h00k> b0n1: if you don't have permission to run it, you can run it with sudo, or change ownership to yourself (sudo chown username:username filename)
[01:19] <CoJaBo-Aztec> acerimmer_: I have to do it via command line, the GUI package manager (KDE) is garbage.
[01:20] <h00k> CoJaBo-Aztec: sudo apt-get remove vlc
[01:20] <h00k> CoJaBo-Aztec: or sudo aptitude remove vlc
[01:20] <uLinux> I think I fixed it
[01:20] <uLinux> :)
[01:20] <CoJaBo-Aztec> h00k: The following packages have unmet dependencies: vlc-nox: Depends: libvlccore2 (>= 1.0.2-1~ppa1) but it is not going to be installed
[01:20] <CoJaBo-Aztec> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[01:20] <SlidingHorn> h00k, i believe b0n1's problem has to do with the installer asking for administrative rights itself
[01:20] <CoJaBo-Aztec> I cant get past that error.
[01:20] <acerimmer_> CoJaBo-Aztec: sudo (ksudo?  I'm not on kde) apt-get purge package name
[01:20] <unop> cyy, /etc/profile
[01:20] <crdlb> nobarking: I believe the issue is that some other distros don't want to use patented font hinting algorithms
[01:21] <nytek_> does anybody know how to integrate xft fonts into wmii?
[01:21] <nobarking> crdlb: really, i didin't know font hinting was also patented....
[01:21] <h00k> CoJaBo-Aztec: did you try apt-get -f install vlc ?
[01:22] <tmas> My ubuntu install is sticking at 5%, any ideas on how to fix it?
[01:22] <tmas> Yes, I'm installing 10.04.
[01:22] <CoJaBo-Aztec> h00k: Yeh, that broght the same error. As did trying to install a completely unrelated package. Purge seems to be doing something tho.
[01:22] <b0n1> h00k sudo chown user.. gives permission denied
[01:23] <acerimmer_> tmas: what do you mean "sticking"?
[01:23] <b0n1> i think my problem is the .bin file itself
[01:23] <b0n1> its just readable and only writable with root
[01:23] <b0n1> if i emulate it on a normal way without root i cant write in it
[01:23] <acerimmer_> CoJaBo-Aztec: reboot after purging
[01:24] <tmas> acerimmer: It stops at 5% and acts as if it hadn't stopped. No error, just an installation that sticks at 5%  (I tried leaving it for 30 minutes, no luck).
[01:24] <b0n1> if i emulate it with root i cant open it
[01:24] <acerimmer_> tmas: troubleshoot.  did you checksum the iso and the burned install disk?
[01:24] <b0n1> as strange as it sounds
[01:25] <ruben23> hi, any idea how to install skype on ubuntu desktop lucid
[01:25] <rahduke> i've tried everything to completely remove AWN so i can start over fresh, and no matter what i do every time i re-install it it loads my old settings that are all screwed up.... can someone please help me before i freak out
[01:25] <b0n1> thats why i ask for an alternative emulation program
[01:25] <tmas> acerimmer_: I did a checksum on the iso, but how do I checksum a burned disk? Make an image and get the checksum of that?
[01:25] <acerimmer_> !checksum>tmas
[01:25] <b0n1> but i dont understand why i dont get respond to this, do i use the wrong words or what is it?
[01:25] <shomon> ruben23, I came here and asked once and there's apparently an ubuntu guide on installing skype properly...
[01:25] <h00k> b0n1: What file is this? You're not 'emulating' it, rather executing (running) it.
[01:25] <b0n1> emulation program is the right word for what i mean right?
[01:26] <SlidingHorn> b0n1: why do you keep saying emulate?
[01:26] <shomon> can't remember where though...
[01:26] <rahduke> http://www.planetblur.org/hosted/awnforum/index.php?shard=forum&action=g_reply&ID=2305&page=1&isLive=true i used all the rm commands from that thread, searched thru my foleders myself and deleted stuff, completely removed from apt and synaptic
[01:26] <b0n1> emulate = mount right?
[01:26] <acerimmer_> tmas: no checksumming the burned iso is a little different.  see the tutorial i sent your way
[01:26] <h00k> b0n1: no
[01:26] <ruben23> shomon:you got the link..?
[01:26] <shomon> no
[01:26] <h00k> b0n1: emulate != mount != run
[01:26] <shomon> sorry!
[01:26] <h00k> shomon: what version of Ubuntu are you on?
[01:26] <b0n1> ok i have a .bin file that i mount
[01:27] <SlidingHorn> !skype | ruben23
[01:27] <acerimmer_> tmas: btw, if BOTH check out, i'd suggest downloading and using the alternate installation iso just to avoid the gnome hiccups
[01:27] <h00k> b0n1: .bin is a compiled binary or a program to run. You are not mounting it, you're running it.  What file is it?
[01:27] <unop> b0n1, is this file an installer or a CD image?
[01:27] <b0n1> and the problem is that if i mount it with root i cant access it  and if i mount it without root  i can access it but not run the datas in it
[01:27] <shomon> lucid, h00k
[01:28] <acerimmer_> rahduke: check for a hidden configuation file in your /home directory
[01:28] <shomon> ah thanks SlidingHorn
[01:28] <unop> h00k, a .bin file could be an image
[01:28] <rahduke> acerimmer_: ive looked i cant find anything related
[01:28] <h00k> shomon: you could be able to download Skype 64 or 32bit, depending on what you're running, for 8.10+ from the skype website
[01:28] <b0n1> unop,  i think if i burn it it will work but do i really have to burn it ?
[01:28] <tmas> acerimmer_: I need to burn a new cd, it looks like. I just took out the cd and glanced at the bottom, then realized that I had found the thing on my desk under some papers and stuff. Covered in scratches!
[01:28] <b0n1> i can mount it and can see the installer files
[01:28] <Flomaster> I am getting a time out error while trying to use wget
[01:28] <acerimmer_> tmas: well i guess that MIGHT effect things...:)
[01:29] <unop> b0n1, well, ok, in that case, just adjust the permissions on the mount point -- where is it currently mounted?
[01:29] <axisys> what would be the fastest way to send 1000 100mb files from one system to another ?

[01:29] <h00k> !pastebin | Flomaster
[01:29] <ruben23> SlidingHorn: thanks...but sorry im only a user...and not part of the sudoers, any chance i can have that privileges with contacting the root..?
[01:30] <unop> b0n1,  where exactly..   what's the output of this command?   mount | grep -i mathinstaller
[01:30] <b0n1> but the .bin file itself is read only i think
[01:30] <Flomaster> oh sorry for that h00k
[01:30] <SlidingHorn> ruben23: you would have to contact the administrator to be granted sudo privileges then, or have them install it for you
[01:30] <b0n1> unop,  MathInstaller is a file in the .bin
[01:30] <unop> b0n1, what's the name of the .bin then?
[01:30] <Flomaster> !pastebinit
[01:30] <b0n1> the bin is called math.bin
[01:31] <unop> b0n1,  ok, then do this.    mount | grep -i math
[01:31] <shomon> h00k, sorry I'm fine. I just couldn't remember the link for whoever was asking before thanks!
[01:32] <h00k> shomon: okay :)
[01:32] <ruben23>  SlidingHorn: no other chance, i can do it by me..?
[01:32] <ruben23> any work arounds, he is not availble on my sire..
[01:32] <okapi14> anyone know how to create a virtual usb drive?
[01:32] <x2> quit
[01:32] <shomon> my problem is with opengl segfaulting like a red headed stepchild
[01:33] <SlidingHorn> ruben23: I'm not going to tell you how to work around your administrator's rules.  They're likely there for a reason.  My only suggestion is to have them allow you the rights or install skype for you
[01:33] <tmas> acerimmer_: I swear, I just looked at the bottom of that scratched disk and saw "MICROSOFT". I immediately threw it away and remembered that my computer originally ran windows.
[01:34] <ruben23> SlidingHorn: ok i understand...its ok
[01:34] <b0n1> unop,  something like rw, nosuid, nodef, user=me
[01:35] <b0n1> now chmod +x ?
[01:35] <b0n1> sudo chmod +x ?
[01:35] <Flomaster> can some one recommend a newsgroup downloader
[01:35] <unop> b0n1, no no, what's the mount point where this .bin file is mounted now?
[01:35] <maco> Flomaster: pan is the perennial favourite, it seems
[01:36] <b0n1> did i mount it with this command?
[01:36] <unop> b0n1, you can paste single lines in here so just paste the output of that command.
[01:36] <Flomaster> maco cool since grabit won't work i will look into pan
[01:36] <swoods> I'm attempting to remaster an 10.04 that I downloaded with Ubuntu Customization Kit, but I'm running into a problem with grub-pc.

This isn't one, so I won't have a bootloader to fall back on. Solutions?

[01:39] <banker247> KB1WQ any good online resource for learning python or do i have to purchase books?
[01:39] <unop> b0n1, ok, that's fine - now where are you getting these permissions problems?
[01:39] <swoods> If you mean Remastersys, I don't know that it is actually an option. I'm running 8.10 right now, so I had to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.29.6 as is to get this far.

[01:39] <b0n1> there is a file called MathInstaller
[01:40] <h00k> ubottu: remaster | swoods
[01:40] <b0n1> if i double click on it and press the button open in console then it wants to install but i says permission denied
[01:41] <swoods> I'm afraid that uck is what I'm using. Everything is working except for this grub-pc error. Would grub legacy work to boot into ubuntu 10.04 and if so would there be any complications? If not, then it would be a good solution for this.
[01:41] <b0n1> unop,  actually it says you may need to be logged in as root to continue the installation
[01:41] <swoods> I just don't want to have spent several hours to get a non-functioning ISO (and computer if I get too hasty and wipe away my current install)

[01:41] <Purpley> Hi guys, what is one of the most highly supported wireless usb cards in ubuntu lucid lynx? Im tired of messing around with drivers and just want to have good reliability and the card must also support packet injection. while being cheap
[01:41] <unop> b0n1,  hmm,  make a copy of the directory that this is mounted on and then you can go ahead and do something like.   chmod +x /path/to/new/MathInstaller.bin;  /path/to/new/MathInstaller.bin
[01:41] <sikun> trying to get my mic working on my desktop, its a Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02), there are two mic ports, one on front and one on back i have tried both but either don't seem to work
[01:41] <swoods> I'm in the package configuration stage, so nothing is actually installed to the system yet.
[01:42] <unop> b0n1, in that case. chmod +x /path/to/new/MathInstaller.bin;  sudo /path/to/new/MathInstaller.bin
[01:42] <unop> b0n1, you must copy the directory first though.
[01:42] <SlidingHorn> b0n1 unop h00k: i think the solution is to sudo sh according to the community docs

[01:42] <ne7work> how to fix it?
[01:43] <unop> SlidingHorn, sudo sh  should never be needed -- if the thing is executable
[01:44] <b0n1> SlidingHorn,  i saw this and tried sh
[01:44] <swoods> I also notice that if I direct synaptic to reinstall grub-pc after it has been installed and thrown up the prompt the first time, it doesn't put it up again. But I am unsure if it is actually configuring it.
[01:44] <b0n1> its the same as just clicking on running in the terminal
[01:44] <b0n1> it says you need to be logged in as root to continue installation
[01:44] <julio> hi, i'm experiencing an segmentation fault when running openarena

[01:44] <julio> any who could help?
[01:44] <b0n1> sudo chmod +x MathInstaller    gives permission denied
[01:44] <b0n1> unop,
[01:45] <b0n1> ok wait i think i misunderstood you
[01:45] <swoods> Have you attempted to sudo su -
[01:45] <b0n1> i have to copy the MathInstaller ?
[01:45] <unop> b0n1, yes, you need to make a copy of the directory before you can chmod anything -- right now you've mounted a CD image as read-only and so that will obviously fail
[01:45] <swoods> And then do it? Sometimes that works..
[01:45] <SlidingHorn> ne7work: there's a workaround IN the bug report...................
[01:45] <unop> b0n1, no, the entire directory that contains MathInstaller to a new directory
[01:45] <b0n1> alright
[01:45] <b0n1> i see
[01:46] <SlidingHorn> ne7work: you can talk to me here...but I don't know anything other than the workarounds (there's 2 of them) already posted in the bug report you linked to

[01:49] <swoods> So I'm fairly sure that it is an issue with ubuntu itself, not uck

I have tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and the problem still persists and have also tried rolling back the xorg display drivers.
[02:05] <acerimmer_> fuzzybunny69y: what computer?
[02:05] <ilham> is there mp3 duplicate finder for ubuntu
[02:05] <ubutom> jr-minnaar, make sure usb2.0 isn't disabled in bios
[02:05] <lordcrc> when installing the ati drivers, is it enough to restart X to get them up and running? running livecd here, want to try it out before i install
[02:06] <IamReck> What is the command to restart X on 10.04?
[02:06] <jr-minnaar> ubutom: I have no sttings in BIOS relationg to USB drive... its an old Medion MIM2080 laptop.
[02:06] <wildbat> Ozzah, some how gparted in ubtuntu don't read raid well :< try Disk Utility

[02:09] <wildbat> Ozzah, hmm no idea may need a raid card driver ?
[02:10] <fuzzybunny69y> acerimmer_, yeah I did look around a bit I don't even know what to lookup though really I found a couple things but it didn't fix the problem
[02:10] <natalief> can anybody help me figure out why "/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THZN/trip_points" gives me a permission denied as user or root
[02:10] <jr-minnaar> ubutom: I read somewhere that in Ubuntu 9.* that it is a simple matter of unloading and reloading the ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd modules in the correct order, thoughin Ubuntu 10.4 those modules does not exist
[02:10] <ubutom> jr-minnaar, I don't mean booting from usb-drives or something like that, there is often an option to enable or disable usb keyboard support and other usb-related settings
[02:10] <ilham> is there mp3 duplicate finder for ubuntu
[02:10] <uzi__> can give me a name of apache management gui front-end?
[02:10] <Ozzah> wildbat, They have uncompiled drivers which won't compile for anyone, otherwise they have fedora/suse drivers for a kernel version that's from the stone age. so what can I do? Do i have to switch to windows?

[02:13] <GANA> hello. sorry for being noob but what is Mod1 on ubuntu.. what key.. i see some key combos and it says press Mod1+A+S for example but what is Mod1?
[02:13] <okapi14> anyone know how to create a virtual usb drive?
[02:13] <ubutom> jr-minnaar, some bioses have a special keystroke to enable advanced settings, ctrl f1 for example, you could look up your bios manufacturer or manual for such reference
[02:13] <acerimmer_> !bug|fuzzybunny69y
[02:14] <jr-minnaar> ubutom: Thanks I'll maybe try that!
[02:14] <SlidingHorn> okapi14: could you explain what you mean by that?
[02:14] <wildbat> Ozzah, if it won't compiled ~ you can't have a kernel module to get raid card up and running ~.... software raid may be ~ ?
[02:14] <ubutom> jr-minnaar, np, some manufacturers hide too much in the bios :)(
[02:16] <jr-minnaar> GANA: Hey, modx usually means some extra key. For example mod4 is the windows key on my laptop
[02:16] <wildbat> Ozzah, or may be try to pastebin the compliation errors see if anyone can help with that
[02:16] <Ozzah> wildbat, I just tried what was on the site. I already have the kernel headers installed. When I try to compile, I get 3 billion errors... and they don't look like dependency errors, they look like syntax errors
[02:16] <okapi14> SlidingHorn: Yes, we can mount a virtual CD rom or DVD, we can mount an iso file or even create an virtual hard drive. Can we create a virtual usb drive. A virtual drive that the system will recognize it as usb flash drive.
[02:17] <GANA> Mod1-Shift-q  = Quit dwm < i am trying to figure out what Mod1 so i can quit dwm :)

[02:19] <swoods> Wine config may be another option for you to try.
[02:19] <okapi14> SlidingHorn: no do not need that. The purpose is I have a software that will unpack some data only when a usb flash drive is connected. Before it start to unpack data it check all the usb drive and try to find a usb flash drive
[02:20] <duffydack> darko3d,  I have found for Wine stuff you need to edit .config/menus/applications.menu
[02:21] <SlidingHorn> dark03d: you attempted to install Microsoft Office?  you would have to use WINE to run that on linux/ubuntu.  If so, your question would probably get better focus in the WINE channel (caps aren't for emphasis..just the acronym) :-)
[02:21] <GANA> seems that Mod1 is ctrl key hmm
[02:21] <SlidingHorn> okapi14: hrrm....that's actually an interesting question.  Don't know if anyone here would be able to help you, but I would definitely suggest posing the question in the appropriate ubuntu forum: http://ubuntuforums.org

[02:22] <Firstgear> when ubuntu is installed what file system does it use?
[02:22] <GANA> yes it is the Ctrl key
[02:22] <jr-minnaar> GANA: Try all the special keys on your computer. The safest way to do this is to go to System > Preferences > Keyboeard Shortcuts. Try all th special keys like the windows key eyc.
[02:22] <GANA> thx jr.. its the ctrl key :p
[02:22] <GANA> sorry alt key

[02:23] <SirMoo> So why can't I play videos when the monitor sizes are not set the same?
[02:23] <duffydack> darko3d, if after removing apps from wine all you want is to remove the entries, then do as I said...if you even read it at all.

[02:29] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[02:29] <soreau> Rigorm0rtis: If it's a lot of files, maybe it has a large file name or some strange characters it doesn't like
[02:30] <Rigorm0rtis> The disk is a 2TB raid array.
[02:30] <darko3d> swoods: the problem is that the entries keep showing, the programs dont work, so i want to unistall them and try again
[02:30] <Rigorm0rtis> It is just one file, a large dd image.
[02:30] <codebrainz> Rigorm0rtis, I had a similar problem with my headless fileserver, turned out to be not enough ram
[02:30] <swoods> Wine comes with a configuration utility that should allow you to "uninstall" the Microsoft Office program
[02:30] <AnxiousNut> how can i edit sqlite3?
[02:30] <swoods> It may have partially installed, if so it may show up in there.
[02:30] <swoods> And you could remove it and retry.
[02:31] <codebrainz> AnxiousNut, use the command line client, or one of the vast amount of GUIs
[02:31] <swoods> Give me a moment and I'll find the name of it, but it should show up under the wine menu
[02:31] <darko3d> swoods: yeah i know, the uninstaller shows the entries but when i click the remove button nothing happens

[02:31] <Mike9863> I recently upgraded to Lucid and noticed that the fonts on web pages looked different. I am trying to find the font they use and use it as my application font under Appearance Preferences. When I look at the page source I notice that the font-family is arial,sans-serif, however the font is not sans-serif and I do not have arial. How can I find the font?
[02:31] <Rigorm0rtis> I've got 4GB of ram. Checking the logs, I get errors mentioning some app hasn't flushed in a while. I can't remember exactly what it said, the system always crashed a little while after they start appearing.
[02:32] <Rigorm0rtis> It writes these messages to the terminal.
[02:32] <swoods> darko3d: As a last resort, you could explore the C: drive and remove the files manually that it placed there.
[02:32] <Random832> Mike9863: it's in your browser preferences
[02:32] <SlidingHorn> rigormortis: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[02:32] <codebrainz> AnxiousNut, GUI?  Give me a sec, I had a sweet one a while back
[02:33] <Mike9863> random832: I have the browser set to allow pages to use their own fonts if they set them, and when I disable that feature the font changes, so it is not my browser.
[02:33] <darko3d> swoods: kk, guna try
[02:33] <Random832> Mike9863: are you sure? ould it just be changing from the serif font to the sans-serif one?
[02:33] <Random832> zoom in and use identifont i guess
[02:34] <swoods> darko3d: The thing to remember is that WINE is a horribly complex tool. It's attempting to reverse-engineer the entire Windows API and then run that through an abstraction layer on Linux. Each different release can act differently for reasons that are hard to decipher.
[02:35] <Mike9863> Random832: Yes I am sure, I will try identifont
[02:35] <swoods> darko3d: While I want to help if I can, SlidingHorn may have been right to suggest the WINE channel is the more appropriate place for this.
[02:35] <Rigorm0rtis> SlidingHorn: I will look into it some more when I am at work tomorrow. I'll grab the logs then.
[02:36] <codebrainz> AnxiousNut, I can seem to find any ref to the one I was using last time, might've been a windows one maybe, but here a whole slew: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1507506/what-are-good-open-source-gui-sqlite-database-managers
[02:36] <darko3d> swoods: thanks alot for the help, and yeah u're right, but the thing is, no one is there
[02:36] <AnxiousNut> codebrainz, kay thanks bud!
[02:36] <swoods> darko3d: I'm dealing with a particularly difficult to nail down issue right now myself. I definitely sympathize with you man
[02:36] <mac9416> Cloud noob question: if I were to set up a UEC cloud on a few of my older machines, could I install a GUI on the cloud and use it just like a desktop machine?
[02:37] <h00k> mac9416: check #ubuntu-server
[02:37] <mac9416> h00k, OK. Thanks.
[02:37] <darko3d> swoods: i only need oneNote to work, got packet tracer and notepad++ to work, and then things went down the hill
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> Just did an install to a new hd on a tuned up system. Now it seems ubuntu boots 'too' fast. :) Its booting and givine an error about /tmp not being readi (fix/ignore/reboot/other option) if i just let it reboot.. it seems to work. :)  almost like the HD is  not 'quite' ready. ANyone noticed such an errior befor?
[02:38] <swoods> darko3d: While this ISO is generating I can try to look into it more.
[02:38] <swoods> darko3d: Version of Ubuntu and wine?
[02:39] <ravibn> Hi! I need to understand which version of ubuntu to install on my Dell Latitude I tried 10.04LTS 64 bit the machine was dead Pl advice
[02:39] <darko3d> swoods: nah thats ok, i deleted the files and guna try to run the installer again
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: crazy stuff, is there a grub option to wait a bit?
[02:39] <siran> hi
[02:39] <swoods> darko3d: Alright
[02:39] <siran> gotta question relatem to exim4... i would like to know where to set the configuration option smtp_accept_queue_per_connection... ?
[02:39] <codebrainz> Dr_Willis, defined "tuned up system"
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  thats what im wondering.. but this is a NEW install.. lets try a update/upgrade. and see if theres a newer kernel version. that might fix the issue
[02:39] <hiexpo> hola Dr_Willis
[02:39] <siran> can anybody help me here ?
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> codebrainz:  new hd,  much faster then my old one.
[02:40] <CyberaX2195> !ispconfig
[02:40] <swoods> darko3d: Well good luck (wish me luck too, I'm dealing with an obstinate bootloader)
[02:40] <codebrainz> Dr_Willis, but no tweaking with the init scripts?
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: i'd ask in #grub too, let me check (fresh install of lubuntu here)
[02:40] <acerimmer_> ravibn: what dell model and what do you want to do with ubuntu?
[02:40] <swoods> Whuh? :|
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> codebrainz:  new install so no. trying a update/upgrade. I THink i just saw a kernel update.
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> The following packages have been kept back:
[02:40] <Dr_Willis>   linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: you may have to have the grub menu onscreen a little while stuff mounts
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> aha - lets try the newer kernels. :)
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> If it was having issues with theusb hd's i could understand.. but its saying my / disk isent ready.. and tahts the one its booting from
[02:41] <codebrainz> ActionParsnip, grub has nothing to do with linux
[02:41] <darko3d> swoods: good luck with whatever that is, lol
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> codebrainz: well it can boot linux, so it has something
[02:42] <codebrainz> ActionParsnip, but other than being able to load linux and pass some commads, I don't think it would be a grub issue
[02:42] <seahorse_> can't find a clean /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
[02:42] <belal1> Whenever I try to go to System -> Preferences -> Sound, I get a "Waiting For Sound System To Respond" Error.  What's going on?
[02:43] <seahorse_> and i need one BAD
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: codebrainz: having grub onscreen longer may get the drive ready to be mounted and such (spinup). Does it only happen on cold boot?
[02:44] <codebrainz> seahorse_, http://paste.pocoo.org/show/225511/
[02:44] <damis5> best script to build a web tv?
[02:44] <damis5> anyone please?
[02:44] <NativeForeigner> no idea
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> seahorse_: http://pastebin.com/mxnyHD1M
[02:44] <codebrainz> ActionParsnip, i see.  that could be a possibility, but I think the root gets mounted first anyway, and it would def panic if no root was ready
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> damis5: there is no best anything
[02:45] <jimi_> What provides asoundconf? i can only find asoundconf-gtk, which doesnt provide asoundconf
[02:45] <h00k> damis5: try http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=tv
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> codebrainz: well its a completely viable suggestion. free to try too, try to think outside the box ;)
[02:45] <h00k> !mythtv | damis5
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  Not sure - havent tested it enoguht to notice.  I dident notice this issue with the old hd. but htis is a newer 1.5tb i just tossed in.
[02:46] <damis5> tx h00k. ActionParsnip: i've to start somewhere...
[02:46]  * Dr_Willis sets up grub2 to play the star spangled banner to give the system more time.
[02:46] <damis5> what about Darwin Streaming Server?
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> damis5: try a few apps, see what you like, there is no best. Its like asking "what is the best beer?" there is no right answer, you will hear people's preferences but no single beer is "best"
[02:46] <damis5> any feedback on this?

[02:47] <seahorse_> ActionParsnip will that work for kernel 2.6.32-21-generic?
[02:47] <damis5> i disagree ActionParsnip
[02:47] <codebrainz> ActionParsnip, does /tmp get mounted somewhere funky like a ram/tmpfs?
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> codebrainz: i've always had it as a folder in /
[02:48] <seahorse_> and that's a clean unedited  /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> seahorse_: yeah, works here in my fresh lubuntu install not 5 mins ago :)
[02:48] <seahorse_> ??
[02:48] <codebrainz> ActionParsnip, what does  mount | grep /tmp show if anything?
[02:48] <seahorse_> lubuntu? custom distro
[02:48] <damis5> ActionParsnip: which is the best search engine for you? if someone asks you, would you not answer him google dot com?
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> codebrainz: http://pastebin.com/mvahqTGV
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> Ok. trying a powerd down/cold boot.  be back in 6 min :)
[02:49] <h00k> !best > damis5
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> damis5: i dont use 1 search engine

[02:50] <rtronk> can anyone tell me if they have gotten League of Legends (online game) to work in ubuntu?
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> damis5: "best" is a comparison of ones needs and tastes to a group of products etc to choose what suits one best, as all users ar enot eqaual in either there can NEVER be a best ANYTHING
[02:51] <ActionParsnip> damis5: even for some people, life isn't best and death is a better option

[02:53] <happyface> is there an extension/script for chrome that forces html5 player in youtube?
[02:53] <siran> heeey
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> well it seems it booted properly that time. Somthing to keep an eye on ui guess
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> happyface: isn't it default?
[02:54] <h00k> happyface: you might want to check Google Chrome's documentation or extension library.
[02:54] <DSpair> Evenin' all. Having issues with Flash player on Lucid, 64 bit. Anyone know of a fix?
[02:54] <siran> is somebody please so kind so help me setting smtp_accept_queue_per_connection  in EXIM4 ?
[02:54] <DSpair> !flash
[02:54] <siran> is somebody please so kind so help me setting smtp_accept_queue_per_connection  in EXIM4 ?
[02:54] <siran> is somebody please so kind so help me setting smtp_accept_queue_per_connection  in EXIM4 ?
[02:54] <happyface> ActionParsnip: no it's not. If you enable the html5 beta it only works for videos with it enabled anyway
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: can you give a pastebin of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
[02:54] <happyface> h00k: there's nothing that works
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> isent there an updated flash in the partners repo now?
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> happyface: i see, thought it would be as both are goole products
[02:55] <klandwehr> where are the crash log stored?
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> I saw somthuing about an updated flash last week. I forget where. :)
[02:55] <swoods> fuzzybunny69y: Not the one I had in mind (still looking for that), but this goes over quite a few different common commands and a number of uncommon ones: http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/index.html
[02:55]  * seahorse_ bows to ActionParsnip
[02:55] <unop> ActionParsnip, dpkg -l | grep -e flash -e gnash -e swf  # :)
[02:56] <fuzzybunny69y> oh cool
[02:56] <swoods> fuzzybunny69y: Here we are. It's extensive and that means it's long, but it covers everything you could possibly want to know: http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> unop: you always remix it ;)
[02:57] <unop> ActionParsnip, faster, more efficient :)
[02:57] <swoods> fuzzybunny69y: I've been through about 90 pages of it (it's 522 pages) and it is well worth reading, even if you just read a bit here and there when you get an itch.
[02:57] <fuzzybunny69y> oh nice guys
[02:57] <fuzzybunny69y> thanks your great guys
[02:57] <swoods> NP
[02:57] <swoods> Have fun ;)
[02:58] <edbian> swoods, I started looking at the at page.  Very neat!  Thanks for that :)
[02:59] <swoods> edbian: Yeah, it's good stuff. I actually use the CLI a good deal at my work, so I've been going over that during downtime to review/pick up a few things.
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: once you get use the output we can help
[02:59] <edbian> swoods, Do you work with Linux and get paid to do so?!?
[03:00] <swoods> edbian: It's more common than you think.
[03:00] <edbian> swoods, That would be such a great job.
[03:00] <swoods> edbian: There are fewer jobs it's true, but there are a lot of jobs in Linux still. It's not all roses (I pull 12 hour shifts) but I get paid very well for my experience level and an experienced linux admin can make 10-20K more than an equivalent windows admin.
[03:01] <swoods> Whoops..right
[03:01] <swoods> Off-topic. Mea culpa :P
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> swoods: i do 12hour shifts too as a NOC
[03:01] <h00k> !ot
[03:01] <DSpair> ActionParsnip: Sorry, I was following the instructions on the link from ubottu.
[03:01] <DSpair> Uhm...
[03:02] <XFGoldenBBL> so does ubuntu x64 really not have a flashplayer?
[03:03] <Guest26790> XFGoldenBBL, yeah
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; dpkg -l | grep flash > ~/flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash >>~/flash; dpkg -l | grep swf >> ~/flash; pastebinit ~/flash; rm ~/flash
[03:03] <DSpair> ActionParsnip: Only one package installed: flashplugin64-installer
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> XFGoldenBBL: sure does
[03:03] <bricky> when burning an audio cd it asks me to save the image as home/owner/brasero.cue
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: ok then what's the problem? I use flashplugin64-installer :)
[03:04] <DSpair> ActionParsnip: Well, before I started tonight, video would play really fast and no sound. Now, flash doesn't work at all.
[03:04] <DSpair> ActionParsnip: In either Firefox or Chromium.
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: i'd remove it, then reinstall it
[03:04] <DSpair> ActionParsnip: Been there, done that, 3 times.
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: make sure you remove the config (or use --purge) to completely remove it
[03:05] <DSpair> ActionParsnip: Even used purge.
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> ah
[03:05] <XFGoldenBBL> Ok .. thats goofy ... wonder why the devs didn't do something like windows .. x86_64 and x86_32 browsers
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: ok when you go to use flash, do you get ANYTHING (even a white / black box)?
[03:06] <DSpair> ActionParsnip: In FF, I get nothing, In Chromium, I get a little black box with a sickly computer icon in it and a message which reads that the plugin crashed.
[03:07] <XFGoldenBBL> DSpair: maybe you're not holding your mouth right .. :p
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: hmm, have you tried removing the package and manually copying the .so file to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
[03:08] <DSpair> ActionParsnip: If I remove the package, how would I copy the so file?!?
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: you head to the adobe site and grab the 64bit tar.gz
[03:09] <happyface> I HATE FLASH SO MUCH
[03:09] <DSpair> ActionParsnip: OK, got the plugin showing up again, but it is back to playing at 4x speed and no sound.
[03:09] <DSpair> The purge did not remove all of the shared libraries.
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: hmmm - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html
[03:10] <fuzzybunny69y> Does anyone know how to troubleshoot the problem where your computer just randomly locks up completely where you have to do a hard reset. I have always wondered how you would isolate down what causes that.
[03:10] <XFGoldenBBL> DSpair you should run some CPU burning stuff at 98.9% cpu time .. that should slow flash down a little
[03:11] <codebrainz> fuzzybunny69y, got enough ram and swap space?
[03:11] <DSpair> ActionParsnip: That's not helpful at all.... :P
[03:11] <fuzzybunny69y> ummm I have quite a bit
[03:11] <fuzzybunny69y> codebrainz,
[03:11] <seahorse_> fuzzybunnyboy i used to have an all-in-wonder
[03:12] <SlidingHorn> fuzzybunny69y: what are you usually doing when it freezes like this?
[03:12] <seahorse_> when using it i had the same hard lock problem
[03:12] <codebrainz> fuzzybunny69y, are you sure the whole kernel locks up and not just X?  next time try Ctrl+Alt+F1-8 and see if other stuff is still working
[03:12] <wamicho> hey any body to help how to start gnome shell i installed it and reboot but it didnt start
[03:12] <fuzzybunny69y> well sometimes I am just browsing the internet and it locks other times I am downloading something
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> DSpair: looks like you'll need to use the PPA version or use flashplugin-installer whic will use nspluginwrapper
[03:12] <seahorse_> when it finally fried on me and i stoppped using the ati, and just used the onboard graphics, it never happened again
[03:13] <seahorse_> you dont by chance have an ati card
[03:13] <fuzzybunny69y> sometimes I will be able to go CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to another terminal but other times it jut locks
[03:13] <fuzzybunny69y> just*
[03:13] <h00k> fuzzybunny69y: check your logs in /var/log to see if anything is reported
[03:14] <Blue1> sorta off topic but...is there anyplace to d/l the ubuntu 10.10 alpha from?
[03:14] <XFGoldenBBL> fuzzybunny69y : Run memtest+ lately?
[03:14] <codebrainz> fuzzybunny69y, it could be like seahorse_ says.  or bad/poorly seated ram would be my other guess
[03:14] <fuzzybunny69y> h00k, yeah I have tried looking but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary
[03:14] <Pici> Blue1: See the topic in #ubuntu+1
[03:14] <fuzzybunny69y> XFGoldenBBL, yeah I did run that once but it said everything had passed
[03:14] <Blue1> Pici: many thanks
[03:14] <wamicho> how do you start gnome shell after installing it ?
[03:14] <SlidingHorn> blue1: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/alpha-1/
[03:14] <Luija1006> Please people I need help I am having problems opening rars with ark, its says: Unable to locate the program "unrar"  in the PATH, whats going on?
[03:14] <fuzzybunny69y> wamicho, I think you do like gnome-shell --replace
[03:14] <fuzzybunny69y> or &replace
[03:14] <fuzzybunny69y> or something
[03:15] <XFGoldenBBL> fuzzybunny69y Was it recently .. and how many cycles?
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> wamicho: press alt+f2:   gnomeshell --replace   is my guess
[03:16] <wamicho> fuzzybunny69y thanks man it did it
[03:16] <kaflowski> how can you monitor if someone is hacking you?
[03:16] <fuzzybunny69y> Luija1006, try installing it by giubg sudo apt-get install unrar
[03:16] <SlidingHorn> !ufw|kaflowski
[03:16] <wamicho> fuzzybunny69y will it change when i restart?
[03:16] <fuzzybunny69y> I will try running that memtest again
[03:17] <fuzzybunny69y> ummm it goes back to your default window manager
[03:17] <fuzzybunny69y> err shell session
[03:17] <fuzzybunny69y> or whatever they call it
[03:17] <fuzzybunny69y> just try it first and see if you like it
[03:17] <codebrainz> fuzzybunny69y, is it a laptop?
[03:17] <fuzzybunny69y> codebrainz, yeah
[03:18] <codebrainz> fuzzybunny69y, maybe check the ram isn't loose or whatver, might explain why it can pass memtest and only sometimes freezes.  just a total guess
[03:18] <kaflowski> SlidingHorn: I want  to *monitor*
[03:18] <codebrainz> kaflowski, firestarter lets you monitor
[03:18] <kaflowski> how do you monitor without turning it on
[03:18] <codebrainz> kaflowski, open the program
[03:18] <flaccid> sudo is returning, 'sudo: must be setuid root'. this appears to be a perms bug in 10.04; can anyone confirm/shed light?
[03:18] <fuzzybunny69y> codebrainz, I am not sure I think that would void the warranty and I wouldn't really want to mess anything up
[03:19] <codebrainz> fuzzybunny69y, might not, if there's a RAM access panel without a sticker on it :)
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> flaccid: have you been messing with sudoers ?
[03:19] <flaccid> ActionParsnip: no.
[03:19] <kaflowski> codebrainz: I want to monitor all connections made by all programs, like under zonealarm in windows
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> flaccid: are you in the admin group?
[03:19] <flaccid> ActionParsnip: yes.
[03:19] <fuzzybunny69y> codebrainz, yeah Ill have to check in the old manual
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> flaccid: can you pastebin your /etc/sudoers file please
[03:20] <codebrainz> kaflowski, ntop or similar maybe?
[03:20] <fuzzybunny69y> to see what all the little parts at the bottom are
[03:20] <Luija1006> fuzzybunny69y: thanks dude
[03:20] <dunpeal> Hi. It seems that Lucid no longer has xorg.conf in /etc/X11?
[03:20] <dunpeal> How do I see my xorg.conf?
[03:20] <jakexks> make shure sudo is owned by root and has the setuid bit set
[03:20] <jakexks> sure*
[03:20] <jakexks> (@ flaccid )
[03:21] <codebrainz> dunpeal, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:21] <flaccid> ActionParsnip: here you go http://dpaste.org/Idgk/
[03:21] <flaccid> jakexks: yes that is correct. this is not done in the release
[03:21] <SlidingHorn> dunpeal: that's correct, but you can make one if needed: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:21] <flaccid> i am testing with a fresh instance
[03:21] <codebrainz> dunpeal, i don't think it's used the same way anymore though
[03:21] <jakexks> oh right
[03:21] <flaccid> thus why i believe it is a bug...
[03:22] <flaccid> released currently as -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 127664 2010-06-10 01:21 /usr/bin/sudo
[03:22] <dunpeal> SlidingHorn: thanks, what I'm actually looking for is the information inside. Specifically, the name of the driver I'm using.
[03:22] <jakexks> My 10.04 install was completely unbroken :P I'm starting to think I was the only one with no problems
[03:23] <coz_> dunpeal,   video driver??
[03:23] <dunpeal> coz_: yeah, what's usually under the Driver directive in xorg.conf
[03:23] <dunpeal> Any idea how I can get that, in absence of that file?
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> flaccid: I have: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 127664 2010-04-13 18:43 /usr/bin/sudo
[03:24] <flaccid> ActionParsnip: is that a fresh install of lucid?
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> flaccid: yeah, its about 20 mins old now
[03:24] <coz_> dunpeal,  is this ati   nvidia or intel?
[03:24] <flaccid> weird as
[03:24] <flaccid> ActionParsnip: let me test with the canonical released AMI
[03:24] <SlidingHorn> dunpeal: you can run this and page through the output: glxinfo | less
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> flaccid: mines got the s in there though
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> flaccid: rwsr ?
[03:24] <dunpeal> coz_: yup, but more specifically, it's going to be nv, nouveau or nvidia :)
[03:25] <flaccid> its obviously missing. other people have reported this on the web too
[03:25] <darko3d> how do i uninstall wine and reinstall the latest version
[03:25] <swoods> darko3d: Do you have the wine repositories added?
[03:25] <coz_> dunpeal,  ok do you already know the card version? if not   open a terminal a     lspci | grep -i vga
[03:25] <dunpeal> SlidingHorn: ah, looks like I'll need to install mesa-utils
[03:25] <darko3d> swoods: not sure
[03:25] <swoods> darko3d: Let me pull this up then.
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> darko3d: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[03:26] <flaccid> launching instance
[03:26] <darko3d> ok, just a sec
[03:26] <swoods> darko3d: You can get WINE from Ubuntu repos, but it will not be as up to date as the WINE repos.
[03:26] <dunpeal> SlidingHorn: glxinfo doesn't seem to contain that information...
[03:27] <darko3d> how do i add that to the repo
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> darko3d: click the link and read
[03:27] <swoods> darko3d: Bottom of the page.
[03:27] <coz_> darko3d,  try   glxinfo |grep version
[03:27] <soreau> I have the annoying problem of system time being reset (2002?) every time I unplug the power cord because sometimes I have to relocate my system
[03:28] <dunpeal> SlidingHorn: or rather, what field am I looking for exactly?
[03:28] <soreau> Is it because bios battery dead? or not using utc time?
[03:28] <swoods> darko3d: Once you've done that you can just use synaptic (apt-get's GUI) or whatever else to uninstall the version you had and install the latest from WINE's repository.
[03:28] <XFGoldenBBL> bios battery
[03:28] <cole> CAn someone help me force stop an array please?
[03:29] <darko3d> ok, trying
[03:29] <XFGoldenBBL> cole: is there a power wire plugged into the wall? if so you could try unplugging it .. that would stop the array
[03:30] <patty_>   how many chat room are there in ubuntu
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> patty_: you mean on freenode, ubuntu isnt an irc network
[03:31] <Loshki> patty_: freenode has about 8600, of which about 300 are ubuntu related..
[03:31] <patty_> then how do you find them
[03:32] <DarkDigitalDream> I dont know if this is possible, but is there a way to download all the restricted network drivers without having to know them by name?
[03:32] <patty_>  and how do you find them
[03:32] <Mekanaizer> Hello
[03:32] <Loshki> patty_: well, you can list them, but the list is *huge*, sometimes so big it clogs your client. What are you looking for?
[03:32] <DainRautenstrauc> can anyone help me to install envy and get my graphics card working?
[03:32] <kaflowski> codebrainz: are you here?
[03:33] <dunpeal> patty_: this is a general IRC question, not an Ubuntu question.
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> patty_: use your client to get the room list
[03:33] <codebrainz> kaflowski, yo
[03:33] <dunpeal> DainRautenstrauc: what's your graphics card?
[03:33] <olvap> hi
[03:33] <DainRautenstrauc> dunpeal: 8800gt
[03:33] <patty_>  i am looking   for some help for this  window and how to use it
[03:33] <dunpeal> DainRautenstrauc: Ubuntu version?  I wouldn't use envy on any recent release.
[03:34] <kaflowski> codebrainz: i have a pastebin can you look at it?
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> patty_: can you expand
[03:34] <dunpeal> patty_: welcome to the internet. enjoy your stay.
[03:34] <DainRautenstrauc> dunpeal: the latest, what else should i use?
[03:34] <codebrainz> kaflowski, shoot
[03:34] <olvap> any one could tell me how do i do a shell script to shutdown the computer or how could i make a timer tu turn it off?
[03:34] <darko3d> swoods: downloading the latest version, all the folders are still there
[03:34] <kaflowski> http://pastebin.org/331876
[03:34] <dunpeal> DainRautenstrauc: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers.
[03:34] <Loshki> patty_: use your browser to look at http://www.irchelp.org/
[03:35] <flaccid> ok the problem is only in our AMI and not the official canonical so the bug is with us. thanks for the help
[03:35] <dunpeal> afaik envy was an old hack to get what recent Ubuntu lets you do via the above GUI.
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> !envy
[03:35] <SlidingHorn> !sysinfo ?
[03:36] <codebrainz> kaflowski, permissions issue I'd guess, try as root
[03:36] <DainRautenstrauc> dunpeal: already done, it gave me the NVIDIA X Server Settings, which half the time, doesn't want to work for setting up dual monitors
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> does Ubuntu have the toram boot option like puppy??
[03:36] <patty_>   and how do i find my  Browers
[03:36] <XFGoldenBBL> !oldster
[03:36] <maco> ActionParsnip: yes
[03:36] <Loshki> olvap: the shutdown command lets you schedule a shutdown at a future time. See 'man shutdown'...
[03:36] <patty_>  i did   get yahoo  but can not get chat
[03:36] <h00k> !manual | patty_, perhaps this may help you with some basics
[03:37] <SlidingHorn> actionparsnip: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM
[03:37] <maco> patty_: to find ubuntu channels on freenode, "/msg alis search #*ubuntu*"
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> SlidingHorn: cheers man
[03:39]  * XFGoldenBBL feels that patty_ will never buy another computer again... someone prolly juked them intobuying one with ubuntu onit because it was less expensive and faster :p
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> XFGoldenBBL: no bad thing :)
[03:40] <Guest96762> yea i run ubuntu, awesome
[03:40] <swoods> That shouldn't be how it wound up though. I'm finding myself skeptical about the idea of recommending Ubuntu myself given that apparently the bootloader doesn't want to install right :|
[03:40] <test34> maco, just type: /list ubuntu
[03:41] <enav> HI... i need help to deactivate my currect nvidia drivers an get ubuntu with the factory default setup... any help____
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> swoods: always been fine ere
[03:41] <kaflowski> codebrainz: http://pastebin.org/331882
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> enav: you can use the hardware drivers thingy
[03:41] <XFGoldenBBL> I just installed 10.04 to a usb stick .. no problem
[03:41] <maco> test34: alis gives you a limited number at a time and then you ask for page 2. /list has a tendency to flood clients such that they disconnect
[03:42] <enav> ActionParsnip that sounds cute but my video stuff is messed and i ahve no video at all
[03:42] <codebrainz> kaflowski, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ntop
[03:42] <swoods> ActionParsnip: Don't doubt it is, but it's been reported repeatedly with wubi and upgrade installs. I assume since I'm remastering it treats it similarly.
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> enav: then you can drop to root recovery mode and run: dpkg -l | grep nvidia    and remove the packages found
[03:42] <codebrainz> kaflowski, I don't use this program myself, I just know of it's existence
[03:42] <swoods> XFGoldenBBL: I'm using grub legacy instead, I'll see if it works but it isn't an ideal solution.
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> swoods: ahhh wubi is a whole different kettle of fish
[03:42] <kaflowski> codebrainz: :/
[03:43] <kaflowski> can anyone help me with this?: http://pastebin.org/331882
[03:43] <enav> This is my real situation i want to set up 3 monitors... 1 monitor with an onboard ATI card and 2 monitor with a nvidia external card
[03:43] <kaflowski> codebrainz: thank you
[03:43] <codebrainz> kaflowski, no worries.  try that guide see if it helps
[03:43] <codebrainz> kaflowski, i think some configuration is required
[03:43] <test34> maco, I dont think so
[03:44] <swoods> ActionParsnip: From what I gather, there is some bug in the way that grub-pc is configured on install that keeps it from well..configuring itself in certain situations. This isn't as much of a problem on upgrade installs since the previous bootloader is there. On clean installs (like this will be) that can be a showstopping bug.
[03:44] <enav> actually im running video on the ATI
[03:44] <swoods> I'll probably pursue this more if I can or at least write up how I fixed it if this does indeed work..
[03:44] <XFGoldenBBL> enav you should do that on windows .. never had luck with multidisplay in linux everrrrr..
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> swoods: i avoid wubi. i think its as bad an idea as the live gentoo cd
[03:44] <test34> maco, you should get your bot to serve ads
[03:44] <kaflowski> is there a firewall available for ubuntu that would ask me permission for each program that wants to access the internet? kind of like on the free windows firewalls.
[03:44] <SlidingHorn> xfgoldenbbl: there are plenty of people who would disagree with that statement
[03:45] <enav> XFGoldenBBL  that is not true
[03:45] <joaojeronimo> Hi everyone, I have a doubt.... My server is behind a router that is behind a cable modem that is possibly behind a lot of stuff from the ISP (I don't have a dedicated IP address...). Is there any way to access this server from outside (anywhere else on the planet) ? Maybe some method ? Other than a VPN ?
[03:45] <Loshki> kaflowski: I don't know the first thing about it, but going by the error message, I'd start by creating /var/lib/ntop/rrd and make it owned by 'nobody'....
[03:45] <swoods> ActionParsnip: I don't run Windows at all. This isn't a wubi thing, just a similar thing that cropped up when I was trying to remaster a live CD with uck
[03:45] <XFGoldenBBL> enav it's true for me..
[03:45] <codebrainz> enav, I run 3 monitors across 2 cards sometimes
[03:45] <enav> i want to restore my video setting as factory default
[03:46] <projekt2> joaojeronimo, ssh with dyndns
[03:46] <binaryme> joakim, do a search for "dynamic DNS"
[03:46] <SlidingHorn> enav: have you seen this?  It's a little old but could be a good start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=457415
[03:46] <codebrainz> enav, what "video settings" are you referring to?
[03:46] <enav> the live CD detect the 3 drivers but i need to restart the X stuff to start from 0
[03:46] <joaojeronimo> projekt2 is dynamic DNS enough ? Thanks :)
[03:46] <projekt2> pretty much, you also have to do some port forwarding
[03:46] <binaryme> joaojeronimo, do a search for Dynamic DNS
[03:46] <projekt2> port 22 for ssh
[03:47] <Loshki> joaojeronimo: I recommend using a non-standard port for ssh. It will cut down on break-in attempts...
[03:47] <joaojeronimo> I'm doing it. Thanks binaryme :) and projekt2
[03:47] <projekt2> dyndns is only one of many dynamic dns services
[03:47] <XFGoldenBBL> joaojeronimo.. pay pal me $50 and I'll do it from here
[03:47] <joaojeronimo> note taken Loshki ;)
[03:48] <XFGoldenBBL> And I'll provide you with fulldoc on how it was done
[03:48] <joaojeronimo> XFGoldenBBL oh and then you'll take over my server lol
[03:48] <mopi> !server
[03:48] <XFGoldenBBL> Nah .. I do this sort of thing daily .. Not hard if you know exactly what to do :)
[03:48] <Wamphyri> !wine
[03:48] <SlidingHorn> enav: i misunderstood your question...you're trying to get xserver back to it's default settings? sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[03:48] <Loshki> joaojeronimo: I also recommend allowing ssh logins via public/private key only once you get it going...
[03:49] <joaojeronimo> I'll keep that in mind, thanks Loshki
[03:49] <projekt2> joaojeronimo, yes ditto what Loshki said
[03:51] <kaflowski> Does anyone know if there is a firewall available for ubuntu that would ask me permission for each program that wants to access the internet? kind of like on the free windows firewalls.
[03:51] <SlidingHorn> !firewall
[03:52] <Flomaster> anyone know about  SABnzbD or HellaNzb. i have installed both but can't seem to locate either to open them
[03:52] <kaflowski> SlidingHorn: thank you but I'm asking for a specific kind of firewall and it isnt listed there
[03:52] <synesp> hello.. i'm writing a script that updates the system automatically (this script is used to launch many, many instances of a server.) my problem is apt-get upgrade will present different ncurses screens (mysql password, grub installation options, etc) how do i skip user input when doing upgrade??
[03:52] <darko3d> i deleted wine from the synaptic package manager but it still appears in the applications menu, how do i remove it completly
[03:52] <SlidingHorn> kaflowski you can configure them via the guis mentioned to require permission for applications to access the internet
[03:53] <SlidingHorn> flomaster: most applications are in /usr/bin/
[03:53] <codebrainz> synesp, there is a way, trying to remember.  i think it has something to do with setting a partiticular env var that specified the terminal
[03:53] <synesp> ah, i don't know what to search for on google!!
[03:53] <synesp> codebrainz: if you remember, please, please, please let me know
[03:53] <SlidingHorn> dark03d: to remove a program and ALL of its configurations, etc (always be careful when doing this): sudo apt-get remove --purge <applicationnamehere>
[03:54] <kaflowski> SlidingHorn: i dont see that option in firestarter
[03:54] <codebrainz> synesp, i smashed my head against the desk many times on this.  let me try and remember
[03:54] <Flomaster> SlidingHorn: I'll have a look, I am an ULTRA Linux Noob I was looking in my application on my taskbar
[03:54] <Loshki> kaflowski: I don't know of one. I'd be interested myself...
[03:54] <mopi> kaflowski: you mean kinda of like peerblock, but for linux?
[03:54] <kaflowski> mopi: no i mean a firewall that asks permissions for programs that want to access the internet
[03:55] <kaflowski> like in pop up windows
[03:55] <wamicho> how to make gnome shell default in 10.04
[03:56] <mopi> kaflowski: oh, ok. I've never heard of anything like that for linux? What is your purpose for having it?
[03:56] <kaflowski> mopi: well there's this game I like to play that people sometimes hack me on
[03:56] <codebrainz> synesp, iirc, it was either $TERM or $SHELL before calling the package manager.  maybe try setting those to /dev/null or a file and see if it works
[03:56] <Flomaster> SlidingHorn: cool I found it
[03:56] <mopi> Just close the port in runs on
[03:56] <codebrainz> synesp, try $SHELL first
[03:56] <wamicho> how to make gnome shell default any idea
[03:56] <synesp> codebrainz: alrighty
[03:56] <mopi> kaflowski: Just close the port it runs on
[03:56] <mark49> @find Herrnstein
[03:57] <kaflowski> mopi: it installs malicious software onto my computer when i go to the player-made servers.
[03:57] <mopi> kaflowski: in linux?
[03:58] <kaflowski> yes
[03:58] <SlidingHorn> kaflowski loshki mopi: here's a good discussion on the topic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1462249
[03:58] <dunpeal> Hi. Can I tell gnome-terminal to set $TERM to xterm-256color instead of just xterm?
[03:58]  * SlidingHorn is out
[03:59] <dunpeal> Is there a PPA for getting the latest screen from the git repository?
[03:59] <codebrainz> dunpeal, .bashrc probably ... export $TERM=blah
[03:59] <wamicho> how to make gnome shell default any idea people?
[03:59] <codebrainz> dunpeal, unless there's a gnome-terminal specific thingy
[04:00] <dunpeal> codebrainz: yeah, I'm trying to avoid that, since that .bashrc may be run by terminal emulators that are not, in fact, supportive of xterm-256color.
[04:00] <mopi> kaflowski: I would just install firestarter and close the tcp ports that the game runs on.
[04:01] <wamicho> how to make gnome shell default any body?
[04:02] <dunpeal> codebrainz: and yeah, I'm wondering if there is such a way?
[04:02] <Loshki> kaflowski: I've never used AppArmor but in 'learning mode' it looks like the only thing that even comes close. Everything else is basically non-interactive...
[04:02] <vishaltelangre> Hi Appl6, I tried chmod o-x dirname, it removed the permissions for others, but the subdirectories yet been open to execute for others, what should I do?
[04:03] <Mekanaizer> Hello agian after another ubuntu video crash here
[04:03] <codebrainz> dunpeal, i just checked gconf-editor, don't see anything.  why do you want this btw?  gnome-terminal supports many colours by default, no?
[04:03] <blocky> can the gnome panel show multiple rows of open applications, like the windows task bar?
[04:03] <Mekanaizer> ubuntu 10.04 and i845 video boards sure don't co-op
[04:04] <dunpeal> Mekanaizer: is that nvidia?
[04:04] <Mekanaizer> no
[04:04] <Wamphyri> !kde
[04:04] <dunpeal> blocky: I think you can add more than one panel
[04:04] <Mekanaizer> Intel 845
[04:05] <lucas-arg> hello! how can i delete a pendrvie partition table from the terminal?
[04:05] <dunpeal> codebrainz: if you don't have that, screen doesn't support 256 colors when you run it.
[04:05] <lucas-arg> im on ubuntu 10.04
[04:05] <codebrainz> dunpeal, i see one way to do it.  make a shell script, inside export TERM=whatever and /bin/bash, then under profiles, select "Run a custom command instead of my shell"
[04:05] <codebrainz> dunpeal, might work
[04:05] <vishaltelangre> Appl6, and if I want to change permissions to subdirectories also, e.g. I want to give permissions to 100 subdirectories of a directories which has no permissions right now, then what I do... will chmod +x main_directory_name did this?
[04:05] <dunpeal> codebrainz: yeah, I may have to resort to something like that.
[04:06] <Wamphyri> !gnome
[04:06] <codebrainz> dunpeal, or apt-get source gnome-terminal, edit the code, rebuild package, install  :)

[04:06] <Wamphyri> nope
[04:07] <Wamphyri> lol wondering if i could remove it :p
[04:07] <dunpeal> Wamphyri: why?  it's your desktop environment.
[04:07] <mopi> kaflowski: firestarter does have a GUI now and will let you block things like that and turn it on and off
[04:07] <Wamphyri> installing kde right now
[04:07] <dunpeal> if you don't want it, maybe you want Xubuntu or even the server edition.
[04:07] <Wamphyri> and prolly eventually i'll just go with X
[04:07] <dunpeal> Wamphyri: Kubuntu 10.04 is imho not a good release.
[04:08] <Wamphyri> why is that?
[04:08] <dunpeal> ever since 9.10 shipped with known critical bugs, Kubuntu has a lot to prove itself usable again.
[04:08] <Mekanaizer> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/566324

[04:08] <SlidingHorn> wamphyri: why do you want to remove your DE?
[04:08] <Mekanaizer> anyone here with any help on that bug?
[04:08] <dunpeal> ...and some of those bugs still haven't been fixed.
[04:08] <Wamphyri> Sliding i'm not i'm installing kde right now
[04:09] <codebrainz> vbox-manager, host and guest, yes
[04:09] <Wamphyri> after playing with kde for a bit i'll probably install X and go with somthing simple
[04:09] <SlidingHorn> wamphyri: any particular reason?  KDE runs on top of X
[04:09] <codebrainz> Wamphyri, X is almost useless without a WM
[04:09] <Wamphyri> so does gnome
[04:09] <Wamphyri> codebrains it is useless
[04:10] <SlidingHorn> wamphyri: as do gnome, and xfce (xubuntu's DE)
[04:10] <mopi> vbox-manager: using it right now, best program ever
[04:10] <Wamphyri> i'll probably use enlightenment or somthing like that
[04:10] <Wamphyri> "on" X
[04:10] <codebrainz> Wamphyri, are you looking for something light or just different?
[04:11] <SlidingHorn> wamphyri, if you're looking for something lightweight, KDE's about the furthest from what you want...try lxde, icewm or something of that ilk
[04:11] <soreau> XFGoldenBBL: Thanks, the battery was dead as a doornail. It works now
[04:11] <XFGoldenBBL> soreau : figured

[04:16] <bluebaron> anyone recommend a very feature rich graphical ftp client?
[04:16] <mopi> kaflowski: try System - Administration
[04:16] <codebrainz> autochthonic, i have a cheap bamboo model that "just works"
[04:16] <codebrainz> bluebaron, GFTP
[04:16] <plustax> codebrainz gave up waiting for root device
[04:16] <codebrainz> plustax, is this a fresh install?
[04:16] <plustax> no si5r
[04:16] <plustax> nope
[04:16] <codebrainz> plustax, did you change hard drives or tweak /etc/fstab?
[04:17] <plustax> nope
[04:17] <plustax> just a regular dumb user and i restarted the computer
[04:17] <codebrainz> plustax, is your hard drive dead?
[04:17] <kaflowski> mopi: don't see it there
[04:17] <plustax> Not that I know of.
[04:17] <plustax> It was working 10 minutes ago just fine.
[04:17] <plustax> Think its a hardware seating problem?
[04:17] <codebrainz> plustax, did you do updates or anything?
[04:18] <autochthonic> codebrainz, I've read several things saying the bamboo pen will not work out of the box in lucid
[04:18] <plustax> Should I crack it open and wiggle somethin?
[04:18] <plustax> I did. I ran the update today actually.
[04:18] <mopi> kaflowski: did you already install it, or was it included in your install
[04:18] <codebrainz> autochthonic, i can try it if you want, it ran fine on 9.xx
[04:18] <kaflowski> mopi: it was already installed
[04:18] <codebrainz> plustax, was there any errors during update?
[04:18] <plustax> nope
[04:18] <autochthonic> codebrainz, the problem is also said to be new in Lucid.
[04:19] <codebrainz> autochthonic, I can't say I've tried in Lucid
[04:19] <mopi> kaflowski: try opening a terminal and typing sudo apparmor_status and see what it says
[04:20] <WJW> bluebaron: FileZilla
[04:20] <autochthonic> codebrainz, this didn't occur to me, but I have an older wacom in the other room, I'm going to see if it works without any tweaking.
[04:20] <codebrainz> plustax, one thing to try would be to go into the grub menu, follow the instructions on screen for editing the boot menu (very simple), and tweak the root=UUID=blahblah part to say root=/dev/sda1 or replace /dev/sda1 with some other possible drive letter
[04:21] <plustax> codebrainz: I'm sorry but I dont understand any part of that.
[04:21] <plustax> I really don't. Im such a bare bones basic user I dont even touch a terminal if I dont have to.
[04:21] <bigt> Just got tatted
[04:21] <mopi> kaflowski: I would recommend firestarter for your firewall, just run a terminal and type sudo apt-get install firestarter
[04:22] <kaflowski> mopi: it says a bunch of stuff about profiles
[04:22] <R3cur51v3> Is it a good idea to manually edit the /etc/hostname file?
[04:22] <bigt> Lenux is the best
[04:22] <autochthonic> codebrainz, it does. That makes this all the more frustrating.
[04:22] <codebrainz> plustax, yeah, it's kinda hard to troubleshoot then.  what's happening is, the initrd is like a "pre" OS that runs to get the linux kernel setup.  at the end of this init stuff, it switches to your real install (root filesystem), but it's currently failing to find the drive/partition/filesystem where your install is
[04:22] <kaflowski> mopi: I've already installed that
[04:22] <kassah> I'm getting intermitant loss of account settings in Epiphany.. if I re-add my accounts... they'll occassionally come back in duplicate (new ones as well as old ones) causing issues in of itself? is this common and is there a common fix?
[04:22] <kaflowski> !troll | bigt
[04:23] <mopi> okay go to System then Administration and you should see firestarter
[04:23] <kaflowski> mopi: what should i do in there?
[04:23] <kassah> not epiphany... Empathy.. sorry
[04:23] <bigt> Lenux runs faster
[04:23] <edbian> lenux??
[04:24] <R3cur51v3> edbian, dnftt
[04:24] <plustax> so codebrainz what do I do?
[04:24] <mopi> kaflowski: run your game in online mode for a few seconds, look at events in firestarter to see what port in runs in, then block them in policies
[04:25] <kaflowski> mopi: you don't get it
[04:25] <edbian> R3cur51v3, :P  oops
[04:25] <mopi> kaflowski: you can even block a whole network connection, and just turn it on and off when you please
[04:25] <mopi> mopi: do you know what tcp/ip is
[04:25] <mopi> ?
[04:25] <R3cur51v3> Is it a good idea to manually edit the /etc/hostname file?
[04:25] <mopi> kaflowski: do you known what tcp/ip is?
[04:25] <TANK> recursive, depends what you're doing
[04:25] <autochthonic> Is anyone else familiar with getting a bamboo pen to run in lucid?
[04:25] <Pip> Is there a GUI program to configure which daemon to start at boot ?
[04:25] <codebrainz> plustax, i can suggest a bunch of stuff, but it's kinda technical and whatnot.  One thing to do might be to use a LiveCD to get up to a GUI, and then go from there.
[04:26] <TANK> everything in linux is controlled in text files
[04:26] <codebrainz> Pip, startupmanager iirc
[04:26] <R3cur51v3> TANK, umm, how so? I changed the contents of the file. Is that good or bad?
[04:26] <mopi> kaflowski: what do you think I don't get? what exactly are you trying to do again?
[04:26] <TANK> if you just put something in the file, it shouldn't matter
[04:26] <n2diy> R3cur51v3: yes, if you back it up first.
[04:26] <kaflowski> mopi: they install malicious software on my computer via the player-made servers. that malicious software can, in theory at least, use any ports it wants
[04:26] <R3cur51v3> Is there an official interface for it? Will things start to malfunction until I reboot? Is the value stored elsewhere, meaning problems with inconsistency?
[04:26] <FrozenFire> Is there an easy way to modify the metadata in AVIs? I've done some minor edits using ffmpeg, but it's tedious and prone to failure.
[04:26] <TANK> so guise can I get a pat on the back, I just quit VMing linux. its now my main OS
[04:27] <codebrainz> plustax, I'd also ask the channel again, someone might have some good/simple ideas
[04:27] <TANK> and its beautiful
[04:27] <n2diy> R3cur51v3: it is a plain text file.
[04:27] <codebrainz> autochthonic, i have a MTE-450
[04:27] <edbian> TANK, :D great!!

[04:28] <FrozenFire> Eh, sorry. He left
[04:28] <R3cur51v3> Wait, sorry, he quit.
[04:28] <mopi> kaflowski: then block your whole internet connection when you play that game. Blocking specific ports is exactly what the windows firewall does. It does nothing different, microsoft is just babying windows using and telling them otherwise.
[04:28] <R3cur51v3> Set a ban anyway.
[04:28] <kaflowski> mopi:  lets move this to pm before this trolling turns into a circus, ok?

[04:29] <darko3d> ok this is started to get rediculous, no matter what i do i can get wine to uninstall completly
[04:29] <pepee> R3cur51v3, those are just attacks from malicious browser scripts...
[04:29] <kaflowski> wait, did you just say block my whole internet connection?
[04:29] <kaflowski> mopi: wait, did you just say block my whole internet connection?
[04:29] <VvWolverinevV> hey, i'm not sure if this is a bug or by design, but when i drag something on my desktop, i can no longer cancel the drag like in previous versions of ubuntu.  does anyone know how to fix this?
[04:30] <VvWolverinevV> hitting esc does nothing
[04:30] <mopi> kaflowski: sure why not?
[04:30] <codebrainz> VvWolverinevV, "cancel the drag"?
[04:30] <TANK> wolverine, clarify? what do you mean by that?
[04:30] <mopi> kaflowski: just when your playing that game
[04:30] <kaflowski> mopi: because then i wouldn't be able to play multiplayer
[04:31] <darko3d> sudo apt-get autoremove --purge wine <-doesnt remove everything? how do i do it
[04:31] <kaflowski> mopi: do you know a lot about what you're talking about?
[04:31] <R3cur51v3> umm, VvWolverinevV was pretty unambiguous
[04:31] <VvWolverinevV> codebrainz: TANK: cancel the drag like hitting escape used to
[04:31] <R3cur51v3> when you hit esc, it cancels
[04:31] <mopi> kaflowski: blocking internet to that game restricts that anyway
[04:31] <mopi> kaflowski: yes I do
[04:31] <codebrainz> canels what?
[04:31] <codebrainz> cancels what?
[04:31] <R3cur51v3> *sigh*
[04:31] <Random832> codebrainz: uh wtf
[04:31] <VvWolverinevV> R3cur51v3: does esc still work for you in 10.04?
[04:31] <Random832> how do you not know what canceling a drag means
[04:31] <R3cur51v3> Why don't you try it, if you are incapable of figuring it out.
[04:31] <Random832> it's a simple concept
[04:31] <Random832> you start to drag something
[04:31] <Random832> then you don't want to drop it anywhere
[04:31] <R3cur51v3> VvWolverinevV, IDK, I hardly ever use the feature
[04:32] <Random832> so you cancel it
[04:32] <Random832> it's not rocket surgery
[04:32] <FloodBot2> Random832: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:32] <darko3d> anyone
[04:32] <R3cur51v3> VvWolverinevV, yeah, when moving a file from one point to the other on the desktop, I can cancel it.
[04:32] <codebrainz> Random832, also don't be a tool ... I just didn't understand what he meant
[04:32] <Random832> i didn't understand how you didn't understand
[04:32] <acerimmer_> darko3d: you had questions?
[04:32] <Random832> oh, and inb4 !language, i thought i was in a different channel
[04:33] <R3cur51v3> VvWolverinevV, desktop => Nautilus window and Nautilus window => desktop are also working for me
[04:33] <darko3d> acerimmer_ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge wine <-doesnt remove everything? how do i do remove wine completly
[04:33] <R3cur51v3> VvWolverinevV, works for me
[04:33] <VvWolverinevV> R3cur51v3: wait, im an idiot, this is a google chrome issue, not an ubuntu issue

[04:34] <codebrainz> autochthonic, just tested my Bamboo MTE-450 in 10.04 and it "just works"
[04:34] <offensive> hi
[04:34] <acerimmer_> darko3d: ah, yes, you're with guy with painful wine.  well *purge SHOULD get it all but it seems not to at least for wine. however, if you've removed the program itself, the config files may take up space but not harm you.
[04:34] <acerimmer_> !hi|offensive
[04:35] <codebrainz> What purpose does that serve?  is it some l33t haxxing?
[04:35] <acerimmer_> codebrainz: probablyu
[04:35] <plustax> codebrainz I put in a live cd
[04:35] <TANK> nah, leethaxxing requires backtrack lawl
[04:35] <plustax> its been stuck at the ubuntu gray logo for 10 minutes.
[04:35] <darko3d> acerimmer_: how do i remove the config, cause thats what causing the problem, i'm trying to make a fresh install
[04:35] <R3cur51v3> plustax, try rebooting
[04:35] <plustax> okay\
[04:36] <acerimmer_> darko3d: i'm going to suggest a quick kill since you've been dealing with this for hours - create a new account.  New account = no .conf files for wine
[04:36] <pepee> those attacks are *random*, but freenode ops can't manage to stop them
[04:36] <unop> darko3d,  sudo aptitude purge wine  # but that won't remove any files in your homedir like ~/.wine, you'll have to manually delete them if you want
[04:36] <codebrainz> pepee, what purpose do they serve, if any?
[04:37] <acerimmer_> unop: yeah that's what he tried.  Seems he missed a few and it's driving him a little off kilter...
[04:37] <R3cur51v3> pepee, isn't there a Ubuntu overflow channel for the web client?
[04:37] <R3cur51v3> pepee, can't we just have *all* people signing on at first be redirected to that channel?
[04:37] <R3cur51v3> It would thwart the attack.
[04:37] <unop> R3cur51v3, this problem affects all channels, not just #ubuntu
[04:38] <bodzilla> I always get attacks registerd at gateway when ever I go on irc
[04:38] <vishaltelangre> pepee, then how to stop these ops while violating the channel?
[04:38] <darko3d> acerimmer_: wont creating a new account also leave me without all the rest of the programs configurations i already made
[04:38] <pepee> security.goatse.fr
[04:38] <acerimmer_> darko3d: yes.
[04:38] <acerimmer_> sorry
[04:38] <plustax> alright codebrainz now its stuck at a blinking cursor.
[04:39] <plustax> What heck is wrong with this thing? I restarted it on a whim. It was acting perfectly fine.
[04:39] <plustax> Alright now its back at the ubuntu logo
[04:39] <pepee> http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Firefox_XPS_IRC_Attack
[04:39] <BPower> Ugh. I uninstalled Gwibber but for some reason the indicator remains -- how do I get rid of the "broadcast" indicator?
[04:39] <acerimmer_> darko3d: if I knew how to kill each wine cfg file i'd happily tell you but you've already tried exactly what I would do - AND you did it without breaking your system!
[04:39] <codebrainz> plustax, did you "restart" or did you power off without shutting down properly?
[04:39] <pepee> that is my source, read that
[04:39] <plustax> I powered it off
[04:39] <plustax> how do I restart it at just the logo?
[04:39] <codebrainz> plustax, don't do that :)
[04:40] <codebrainz> plustax, i don't mean the livecd, i mean your install
[04:40] <darko3d> how do i remove ~/.wine
[04:40] <_jesse_> darko3d: rm -r ?
[04:40] <pepee> codebrainz, vishaltelangre R3cur51v3 http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Firefox_XPS_IRC_Attack
[04:40] <plustax> oh no I restarted legitly.
[04:40] <BPower> darko3d, rm ~/.wine -R
[04:40] <plustax> Im not THAT stupid.
[04:40] <codebrainz> pepee, thx
[04:40] <plustax> I only restarted because I havent in a couple weeks
[04:40] <plustax> Its been running.
[04:41] <XFGoldenBBL> if I dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdd and then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd .... Would I be right in assuming that 100% of /dev/sdd would be obliterated .. as in partition tables, mbr, eveything ? I can't seem to get rid of the damn supposed guid partition table thats not really on it by any other means..
[04:41] <pepee> np
[04:41] <darko3d> the stupid fucking bitch is still there in the application menu
[04:41] <acerimmer_> !language|darko3d
[04:41] <_jesse_> darko3d: :P you can remove it from there too by right clicking hte menu
[04:41] <codebrainz> XFGoldenBBL, is it mounted or something?
[04:41] <XFGoldenBBL> it's not mounted
[04:42] <codebrainz> XFGoldenBBL, the /dev/zero one alone should completely overwrite every block on the disk with zeroes, correct
[04:42] <BPower> darko3d, darko3d if you want to remove it from your computer all together, you just need to run an apt-get remove command: sudo apt-get remove wine wine1.2
[04:42] <plustax> codebrainz
[04:42] <plustax> got the gui up for the live cd
[04:43] <XFGoldenBBL> but I want to add it to an array to replace a dead disk ..this disk just came out of an EOM package .. I suppose it should be blank but it could be a refurb or something and I didn't know it
[04:43] <acerimmer_> darko3d: System>Preferences>Main Menu.  Probably need to log out/in to see the effect
[04:43] <codebrainz> plustax, pm me and I can have you try a few things if you want
[04:43] <BPower> Ugh. I uninstalled Gwibber but for some reason the indicator remains -- how do I get rid of the "broadcast" indicator?
[04:43] <acerimmer_> BPower: right click, remove from panel
[04:43] <BPower> acerimmer_, don't think you know what I'm talking about....
[04:43] <codebrainz> XFGoldenBBL, if you want to verify, dd back the GUID partition table into a file and see if it's zeroed
[04:44] <acerimmer_> BPower: :|
[04:44] <darko3d> well shouldnt uninstalling the program do that automatically
[04:44] <acerimmer_> me with mouth shut
[04:44] <acerimmer_> darko3d: not necessarily
[04:44] <iElijah> Hello, I had a question about Ubuntu's permissions, I'm running 9.04 on a server and well, the issue is when my devs who have non-sudoer SSH accounts attempt to push to a git repository, they get permission denied, I've tried tranferring ownership of the directory to a group in which all users share, but it still gives the issue, any suggestions?
[04:44] <Wamphyri> looking for help with ATI propitary crap on ubuntu lol
[04:44] <Wamphyri> keep getting this error
[04:44] <Wamphyri> nvm
[04:44] <XFGoldenBBL> but if I zero the whole disk should the guid partition table be gone?
[04:44] <BPower> acerimmer_, see where it says "Setup broadcast account..." http://j.mp/8YrILK
[04:44] <Wamphyri> won't let me paste it now
[04:44] <XFGoldenBBL> parted doesn't see it
[04:45] <codebrainz> XFGoldenBBL, should be, but I'm saying if you want to be sure, read it back from disk and confirm it's all zeroed out
[04:45] <root__> can someone help
[04:45] <root__> please
[04:45] <XFGoldenBBL> fdisk -l says that a portion of th disk can't be used because of the guid patition table
[04:45] <xomp> hi, I forgot the password to one of my accounts, how can I change the password as root through the terminal?
[04:45] <codebrainz> XFGoldenBBL, did you run the 'sync' command?  try that, flush out to disk
[04:45] <darko3d> well this is what i get from trying to run proprietary software /s
[04:45] <acerimmer_> BPower: got it.  I understand that you wnated to remove the entire notification applet?  or just the account?
[04:45] <mrdowntempo> I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. Fresh install on brand new HDD. Everything is good but no sound. :-[
[04:46] <_jesse_> xomp: passwd other_user I think
[04:46] <root__> someone who can help me
[04:46] <_jesse_> xomp: man passwd to find out
[04:46] <bodzilla> root_ I missed any deceleration whats up
[04:46] <acerimmer_> !sound|mrdowntempo
[04:46] <root__> how do i go about getting an interface to show up when i use airmon
[04:46] <BPower> acerimmer_, the "broadcast indicator"  -- so for example, in this image, you have the "empathy/chat indicator", the "mail indicator", the "broadcast indicator", and the "pino indicator"
[04:46] <mrdowntempo> acerimmer_, problem appears to be there is NO sound device
[04:46] <bodzilla> root_ hold on i have to look up what that is
[04:46] <XFGoldenBBL> ok I'll wait for the dd's tofinish and then give it a looksee...
[04:47] <Pip> In bootupmanager, the lights that are on mean daemons that are running while those that are off mean daemons are not running, what about those question marked ones ?
[04:47] <xomp> _jesse_ thanks :)
[04:47] <acerimmer_> BPower: I understand now.  not familiar with pino and read it as just a sub category of twitter like an account but you actually added/deleted an app!
[04:47] <root__> ok bodzilla
[04:47] <AndChat> How do I get aptget to a usable state in the alt disc? Seeing as there is a year+ outstanding bug with the installer.........
[04:47] <rodolfo> oigan necesito ayuda
[04:47] <_jesse_> xomp: np
[04:48] <root__> bodzilla you there
[04:48] <rodolfo> alguien habla español?
[04:48] <acerimmer_> BPower: I'm 99% sure that rebooting !panels would wipe your configuration clean, but then you'd have to repopulate panels and settings : sorry best I can do.
[04:48] <bodzilla> airmon yes
[04:48] <acerimmer_> !es|rodolfo
[04:48] <mopi> rodolfo: un poco
[04:48] <root__> i just installed backtrack
[04:48] <root__> but when i run airmon i don't get anything
[04:48] <root__> no interface no chipset nothing
[04:49] <bodzilla> root_ I just don't have any knowledge about it sorry
[04:49] <BPower> acerimmer_, usually you just uninstall a particular apt package and it goes away, but I can't find reference to it anywhere
[04:49] <root__> oh ok
[04:49] <darko3d> ok, thanks guys i think deleting ~/.wine did it for the config files
[04:49] <root__> thank you though
[04:49] <root__> i appreciate it
[04:49] <bodzilla> root_ no problem
[04:49] <AndChat> Can someone please give me a hand? I'm on my gdang phone because of this bug and I'm OS-less because of it.
[04:49] <acerimmer_> BPower: usually yes.
[04:50] <Emanon> sorry hit wrong key :-/
[04:51] <bluefox> AndChat whats up?
[04:51] <acerimmer_> *it's been real people.  gotta go, library kicking me off wifi*
[04:51] <bluefox> laters
[04:51] <piyushmishra> weorfop:
[04:51] <AndChat> bluefox I need to be able to use aptget aptitude or dpkg i n the alt installer environment
[04:52] <Emanon> btw i LOVE how lucid works with my iphone
[04:54] <scunizi> opening Places>Network shows a network printer, my machine and one WinXP machine. The XP machine I can't connect to via that method but I can by going to Places>Connect to server.. Samba and smbfs are installed. I also can't see my other Ubuntu machine which is running the samba server.  Any ideas?
[04:54] <AndChat> Unbelievable.
[04:55] <bluefox> AndChat its not working at all?
[04:55] <codebrainz> AndChat, what's the prob with them?
[04:55] <AndChat> They aren't available during the alt install until yoyure basically done
[04:56] <bluefox> AndChat so did it install or no?
[04:56] <bluefox> aptget that is
[04:56] <scunizi> AndChat: what's the bug you're encountering that won't let you install?
[04:56] <AndChat> Do to some unbelievable bug that I can't believe has existed in 3 releases let alone a *&*& LTS release is mind boggling. Dmraid hides peoples hard drives in the installer
[04:57] <bluefox> AndChat ok you can be dramatic about it in another room, if you would like help we need to know what error you are getting
[04:57] <AndChat> My hd literally doesn't show up. The resolution is to remove dmraid but they all assume you're on the live disc, which IMO is quite an assumption
[04:57] <AndChat> Its not an error, its abug

[04:57] <bluefox> AndChat 1 sec
[04:58] <bluefox> AndChat is ur hdd setup in bios as sata or ide?
[04:58] <codebrainz> AndChat, you can drop to a root shell during alt. install and do anything you want
[05:00] <AndChat> Omg this is annyoing to type for the third time. I appreciate the attempts to help but I've aleeady stated that apt/aptitude/dpkg aren't setup or available in the alt installer env or else I wouldn't be here
[05:00] <AndChat> Bluefox, sata drives, set to show as ide compat in the bios
[05:01] <codebrainz> AndChat, what does apt/aptitute/dpkg have to do with it?  compile the binaries and copy them over, or remix the alt cd and put what you want on there
[05:01] <bluefox> AndChat do u have any other partions on the drive that u cant get rid of?
[05:01] <AndChat> How am I supposed to remove dmraid w/o it?
[05:02] <AndChat> Lol you want to walk me through a manual uninstall script from the deb? :p
[05:02] <knob> Good evening everyone =)
[05:02] <codebrainz> AndChat, find the files, delete them :)
[05:02] <AndChat> Bluefox I flat out can't see the drive that have my os partitions...

[05:03] <bluefox> AndChat ok what does sudo fdisk -l give you?
[05:04] <TANK> hey guise, how can I tell if I have 3d acceleration enabled?
[05:04] <AndChat> Bluefox it shows my second third and fourth drives labeled as sda sdb sdc. It is not showing the real sda. Which is the bug :(
[05:05] <knob> I have a script.sh     How can I do an "if" for the time of day?  Something like crontabs   10 * * * copy file.jpg file2.jpg   ??
[05:05] <knob> Ideas?
[05:05] <knob> Evening bluefox =)
[05:05] <Jordan_U> AndChat: I assume that you can't get download / burn the LiveCD installer (since you can't boot, which is why you're on your phone)?
[05:05] <scunizi> AndChat: this is an issue that might get more resolution in #ubuntu-server.. as they would probably have more experience with raid et.al..  although there aren't as many people logged in there.. also ##linux
[05:05] <bluefox> knob how goes it? new here, first time on irc
[05:06] <knob> super super... looking for 'direction'...
[05:06] <knob> googling for the man pages... yet can't find how to setup a "time if"
[05:06] <AndChat> Jordan_u well no. I have it, but ultimately I'm trying to do a fresh install uding a mdadm configured raid w/ enc home which is only possible thru the alt installer...
[05:07] <Phrogz> Does this mean that I have two git-daemon's running, or one? http://pastie.org/1004868
[05:07] <ideame> Hi
[05:07] <Jordan_U> AndChat: It's not easy, but you could do it with debootstrap from the LiveCD.
[05:08] <ideame> if i have 2 or 3 interfaces like eth0 eth1 eth2.. how will i come to know which i onboard and which external card?
[05:08] <haozi> hi
[05:08] <knob> hi
[05:08]  * knob hi cat
[05:09] <AndChat> Jordan_u I'm booting back to a failsafe and removingtp the raid flags to see if I can avoid this bug. Ill try that if this doesn't work.
[05:11] <haozi> how to change the ubuntu logo in starting pc?
[05:11] <tesla555> how can i contribute to ubuntu if i want to...wer can i can check foss needs

[05:12] <hypatia> i'm trying to upgrade an 8.04 desktop to 10.04, and do-release-upgrade is saying no new release found.  i've gone into software sources and changed "never" to "LTS" - is there anything else i'm missing?
[05:12] <tesla555> i mean contribute to prjects
[05:13] <tesla555> like programming,docs,etc
[05:13] <Zelozelos> hypatia dont upgrade, do a new install, ive heard lots of bad stuff bout upgrading
[05:13] <Jordan_U> hypatia: Which apt mirror are you using?
[05:13] <hypatia> Jordan_U: osuosl
[05:13] <tesla555> bluefox: ?
[05:13] <bluefox> haha was little lost there lol
[05:13] <Jordan_U> hypatia: Try using the main mirror.
[05:13] <jvm_> hi. i thought there was a "notify-send" tool on my system producing these nice bubbles, but it does not seem to be there. what package do i need to install?
[05:13] <hypatia> Zelozelos: thanks, but i've done dozens of upgrade with no issues.
[05:13] <hypatia> Jordan_U: will do, thanks!
[05:13] <bluefox> i guess here or ubuntu.com and can check there
[05:14] <Jordan_U> hypatia: You're welcome.
[05:14] <SteveThing> I'm having an issue with nVidia X Server Settings. When I set the configuration to TwinView and click apply, I get an error: "Failed to set MetaMode (1)'CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select' ..." Is this due to using different resolutions for each monitor?
[05:14] <Zelozelos> hypatia,  your choice, but good luck
[05:15] <Jordan_U> tesla555: grub2 needs someone to do documentation desperately.
[05:15] <AndChat> jordan_u yup it fixed it >_<
[05:16] <scunizi> How do I get a list of available groups via cli?
[05:16] <tesla555> so how to join team
[05:16] <tesla555> shud i mail them or irc?
[05:16] <bluefox> should*
[05:16] <hypatia> Jordan_U: any other ideas? didn't work :(
[05:16] <Jordan_U> AndChat: If you have a launchpad account, marking the bug as affecting you and posting a work around for the alternate CD could be helpfull to other users.
[05:17] <bluefox> Jordan_U dont give out all the answers they will all flock to you haha!
[05:17] <yokobr> man, i'm on lucid lynx and pulseaudio SUCKS
[05:17] <AndChat> Ok will do
[05:17] <yokobr> it just won't work. No mic, and i can't start some games.
[05:18] <codebrainz> yokobr, afaik, it's not pulse that sucks, it's how ubuntu implements it
[05:19] <tesla555> yokr run from terminal n post the error
[05:19] <Jordan_U> hypatia: Software Sources may have already done this, but try step2, "edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal", from http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade
[05:19] <bluefox> OoO my ubuntu download is done :)
[05:20] <hypatia> Jordan_U: i don't want normal, i want LTS -> LTS :/
[05:20] <yokobr> is there any way to use ALSA as default? it aways worked well for me
[05:20] <tesla555>  bluefox:which one
[05:20] <abuayyoub> Hi, can someone help me please? I am having a program doing an update I keep getting some kinda PPA key//signature errors?  here are the errors and my sources.list file... http://pastebin.com/yJ6YjGtX
[05:20] <bluefoxx> whoops haha
[05:20] <Jordan_U> hypatia: Sorry, meant to post the 8.04 to 10.04 instructions, basically replace "normal" with "lts"
[05:21] <yokobr> http://pastebin.com/9fHqDGdv
[05:21] <AndChat> Jordan_u of course after I set the other drives as marked for raid it just goes to installing files and doesn't give me a chance to actually configure the raid >_<
[05:21] <abuayyoub> it's a w: Gpg ... invalid signature error
[05:22] <yokobr> teks555 http://pastebin.com/9fHqDGdv

[05:24] <_jesse_> e.g. grade school
[05:24] <tesla555> ok
[05:24] <codebrainz> is there an ubottu command for GPG/PPA?
[05:24] <Jordan_U> hypatia: I assume you ran "sudo apt-get update" after changing mirrors?
[05:24] <hypatia> Jordan_U: sudo do-release-upgrade --devel-release ended
[05:24] <hypatia> *ended up working
[05:24] <j800r> !ppa | codebrainz
[05:24] <hypatia> and yeah, i had updated, Jordan_U
[05:24] <hypatia> thanks for the upgrade link, Jordan_U - that was just what i needed :D
[05:24] <abuayyoub> codebrainz, yea, I know how to add a ppa that's not the problem.
[05:25] <codebrainz> j800r, is there one for adding the gpg keys?
[05:25] <bluefox> .
[05:25] <mattgyver> Anybody get the stackswitch plugin working for compiz in 10.04?
[05:25] <j800r> !gpg | codebrainz
[05:25] <codebrainz> j800r, thx
[05:25] <Jordan_U> hypatia: Be *absolutely* sure that isn't going to upgrade you to 10.10. It shouldn't, but --devel-release also shouldn't be needed.
[05:25] <blue_fox> .
[05:26] <Zelozelos> why is the 64bit desktop version not recommended for daily desktop usage, and whats the diff between the LTS version and the desktop version ?
[05:26] <j800r> tesla555, so can you give me a name of a package that does that job? i've searched universal menu and not found much :\
[05:26] <abuayyoub> Hi, can someone help me please? I am having a program doing an update I keep getting some kinda PPA key//signature errors?  here are the errors and my sources.list file... http://pastebin.com/yJ6YjGtX
[05:26] <blue_fox> there :) figured it out
[05:26] <hypatia> Jordan_U: says lucid all over it, but mucho thanks for the warning
[05:26] <Jordan_U> hypatia: NVM, that is in the official instructions. That's really odd. Maybe they're only upgrading servers LTS to LTS after 10.04.1 ?
[05:27] <Incarnation> Hi everyone, I'm trying to install VirtualBox on Ubuntu 9.10; can someone please teach me how to "compare the MD5 sums" to ensure that I downloaded the correct package?
[05:27] <j800r> abuayyoub, remove the jaunty PPAs
[05:27] <edgardo> I am getting hash sum mismatch problems when upgrading most packages. I have read FAQ and googled the problem but none of the suggested fixes have helped.
[05:27] <j800r> you can do that via GUI, no need to edit your sources.list directly
[05:28] <codebrainz> Incarnation, the open source version of vbox is in the repos iirc
[05:28] <tesla555> Incarnation: i think u cant
[05:28] <abuayyoub> j800r ok  but it looks like its lucid ppa's that are throwin up the problems
[05:28] <zipper> Hi any1 know where i can download/install EMESENE SVN?
[05:28] <tesla555> Incarnation: if u downlaod .deb individually
[05:28] <Incarnation> codebrainz: What is the "repos iirc"?
[05:28] <tesla555> u can do md5
[05:28] <Hilikus> how do i update ubuntu server remotely? when i do do-release-upgrade it says it is dangerous
[05:28] <j800r> then remove any PPAs, you shouldn't really need them. what did you add PPAs for?
[05:28] <tesla555> try man md5sum in terminal
[05:28] <blue_fox> anyone just feel that earthquake?
[05:29] <blue_fox> southern california here...
[05:29] <codebrainz> Incarnation, I mean, it's available by default in the ubuntu software manager if i remember correctly

[05:33] <codebrainz> g073nks, try firefox :)
[05:33] <j800r> g073nks, why the HELL would you wanna install IE??
[05:33] <g073nks> i have cromium installed
[05:33] <edgardo> I am getting hash sum mismatch problems when upgrading most packages. I have read FAQ and googled the problem but none of the suggested fixes have helped.
[05:33] <g073nks> firefox won't work either
[05:33] <Incarnation> Okay, so I know VirtualBox is installed on this version of Ubuntu... now, how do I use it?
[05:33] <Roasted> Can you set up Apache so when a user goes to the web address it requires the user to log in prior to seeing what's available for downloading off of the apache web server?
[05:33] <g073nks> but i have some sites i need ie on
[05:33] <Andy007>  i am looking for some help about netbeans
[05:33] <blue_fox> n2diy see the link i posted... 5.0 aftershocks...
[05:33] <Incarnation> And why is it not in the applications list?
[05:34] <j800r> g073nks, then dual-boot with windows
[05:34] <codebrainz> Incarnation, should be under the main menu, or press Alt+F2 and type VirtualBox
[05:34] <j800r> don't pollute Ubuntu with that horrid browser
[05:34] <n2diy>  blue_fox, yes, it showed up at the same time I posted, thanks.
[05:34] <g073nks> i'd prefer to get ie6 or 7 working, would like to avoid as much windows as i can
[05:34] <zipper> Any1 knows how to fix emesene random crashes?
[05:34] <blue_fox> n2diy u live in socal too?
[05:34] <Hilikus> zipper: what random crashes
[05:34] <codebrainz> Andy007, try a java or netbeans channel.  if you need help installing it on ubuntu, tell us what problems you are having
[05:34] <Incarnation> codebrainz: Okay, but how come it didn't show up under my Applications menu?
[05:34] <zipper> Hilikus: it crashes randomly when i chatting with my friend
[05:35] <codebrainz> Incarnation, it should, under "System" maybe?
[05:35] <Hilikus> zipper: works for me
[05:35] <codebrainz> Incarnation, or "Accessories"
[05:35] <Hilikus> what version?
[05:35] <j800r> g073nks, obviously you can't though. if you absolutely can't get them sites running any other way, then you should dual-boot or run windows in a virtual machine
[05:35] <n2diy>  blue_fox, no, coal country of Pa., but I'm a ham radio op, so... they get my attention.
[05:35] <zipper> Hilikus: 1.6.1 "mate"
[05:35] <resoLution> somebody knows how to configure the resolution on ubuntu lucid? the problem is tha i set the resolution more than 1024x768... and it works... but... a lot time later, it returns to be just 1024x768
[05:35] <myrk> hi, im trying to upload some files to an ftp server with the nautilus ftp thing but it's really slow, will getting a new ftp client make it faster?
[05:35] <j800r> tbh, i've not come across a site I need IE for. Chromium does fine
[05:35] <Incarnation> codebrainz: Strange, it's not under either one of those menus
[05:35] <Hilikus> zipper: same as mine and i have no problems
[05:36] <g073nks> j800r i had it working on previous versions of unbuntu, but for some reason this one won't let me
[05:36] <j800r> myrk, depends on your upload, and the server you're uploading to
[05:36] <n2diy>  blue_fox, did it rattle your Ubuntu box, to stay on topic?
[05:36] <codebrainz> Incarnation, yeah, i remember having that ... maybe restart gnome panel (killall gnome-panel) or just add it to the menu manually
[05:36] <zipper> Hilikus: and also i am getting empty automessage error
[05:36] <j800r> g073nks, maybe cause this one is smart ;)
[05:36] <g073nks> j800r and ther eis a site with a walkthrough that i followed, but doesn't want to work
[05:36] <j800r> paste the URL, i'll take a look
[05:36] <myrk> j800r it's a large folder that's going to zymic.com
[05:36] <g073nks> not if it's blocking wine from working
[05:36] <zipper> any1 can assist ??? my emesene is crashing randomly

[05:37] <codebrainz> Incarnation, np
[05:38] <blue_fox> im gonna go have a smoke then install it, ill be back in a little bit
[05:38] <j800r> g073nks, you misunderstood. i meant the URL that you felt you needed IE for
[05:38] <n2diy>  blue_fox, sounds like an omen?
[05:38] <resoLution> sorry tesla555, I don't know what is cvt
[05:38] <zipper_> arg
[05:38] <g073nks> my wife's pay stubs
[05:38] <blue_fox> n2diy i know right!
[05:38] <blue_fox> brb
[05:38] <blue_fox> or bbl
[05:38] <g073nks> she works for AAFES and in order to view them or make changes she needs IE

[05:38] <zipper> any1 can assist me?
[05:39] <tim2> Why am I unable to download a bootable version of 10.04?
[05:39] <zipper> i've got some error with my emesene it keeps crashing
[05:39] <codebrainz> g073nks, install the user agent switcher for firefox :)
[05:39] <Tao> I'm trying to upgrade my harddrive from a 13 gig to a 40 gig. I planned on cloning the data on my current hard drive and putting it on the 40 gig one, so I hooked the other hard drive up to the computer. It shows up in the BIOS, but not when I get to the desktop
[05:39] <tesla555> tim2:why
[05:39] <tim2> What I get is nothing like 9.01, which was easy to install.
[05:39] <g073nks> codebrainz firefox won't run for me either... for some strange reason... but firefox for windows doesn't work on that site either
[05:39] <myrk> help plz?
[05:39] <Jordan_U> tim2: Did you burn the iso as an image, or did you burn a CD with a .iso file on it?
[05:39] <zipper> i've got some error with my emesene it keeps crashing!!! please assist!
[05:39] <Flomaster> I have installed SABnzbD and would like it to auto start what do I need to change here http://pastebin.com/hX0x0G7V
[05:40] <zipper> i've got some error with my emesene it keeps crashing!!! please assist!!?!?!?!
[05:40] <n2diy> I opened gFTP last night, and forgot to shut it down, now the whole gFTP window is ghosted out, and won't respond to the close command. Top doesn't see it, and killall gFTP doesn't play with it, how do I kill it?
[05:40] <tesla555> How to upgrade from 9.04 To Lucid without lossing existing installed prog ....is it posssible to backup the installed progs
[05:40] <j800r> zipper, that's probably more related to the app rather than Ubuntu
[05:40] <codebrainz> g073nks, does it detect IE and block FF or does the site just not work well in FF?
[05:40] <j800r> why not just use Empathy :\
[05:40] <Tao> I'm trying to upgrade my harddrive from a 13 gig to a 40 gig. I planned on cloning the data on my current hard drive and putting it on the 40 gig one, so I hooked the other hard drive up to the computer. It shows up in the BIOS, but not when I get to the desktop.
[05:40] <relentless> n2diy: ps x
[05:40] <g073nks> doesn't work at all
[05:40] <sebsebseb> g073nks: ok whats wrong with the browser
[05:41] <tim2> Jordan_U-I used Brassero to burn an image.
[05:41] <zipper> j800r, empathy is v lousy
[05:41] <sebsebseb> j800r: be helpful :) and yes IE sucks
[05:41] <Jordan_U> tim2: What happens when you try to boot?
[05:41] <relentless> Tao: You have to mount it
[05:41] <g073nks> sebsebseb not sure, just won't start, no crash message or anything
[05:41] <Tao> relentless: How do you mount it?
[05:41] <codebrainz> Tao, you can use GParted to clone the partition and/or resize it to the new size
[05:41] <sebsebseb> tesla555: to upgrade from 9.04, you would have to go through 9.10,  as long as upgrade goes ok, it will upgrade all the installed programs from repo
[05:42] <rodolfo_> hey why i cannot install limewire? it says that i dont have  sun-java6-jre | icedtea-java7-jre | sun-java6-jdk | icedtea-java7-jdk
[05:42] <g073nks> I fully admit it sucks, If it wasn't my only option (on vacation so not near my main PC)
[05:42] <relentless> Tao: sudo mkdir /mnt/HDD && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/HDD
[05:42] <Zelozelos> if i changed my wireless radio bandwith on my wireless router from 20 to 40 mhz is there performance to be gined?
[05:42] <unop> !limewire | rodolfo_
[05:42] <sebsebseb> tesla555: also 9.04 is :)  still supported untill end of October,  10.10 is the 10th October as well on the Sunday
[05:42] <tim2> Jordan_U: Nothing.  It does the load with the dots then stops.  I ended up reinstalling 9.01.
[05:42] <Zelozelos> heh...thats GAINED
[05:42] <relentless> rodolfo_: cause you need to install thoes packages to run it
[05:43] <n2diy> relentless: cool, but it listed a million procs., how did it know to stop at the one I was looking for, luck?
[05:43] <g073nks> sebsebseb, i tried reinstalling FF and it didn't help
[05:43] <j800r> zipper, run the program through terminal, and paste the output when it crashes
[05:43] <relentless> n2diy: ps x | grep gtfp
[05:43] <tesla555> sebsebseb: i mean i  one upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on another system...i lost all vlc,java,etc
[05:43] <j800r> though, make sure you use pastebin if it's more than one line
[05:43] <rodolfo_> ok
[05:43] <tesla555> installed on ols
[05:43] <rodolfo_> let me try
[05:44] <n2diy> relentless: no it worked, and at the near end of the list, was gftp, was that luck?
[05:44] <Roasted> Can you set up Apache so when a user goes to the web address it requires the user to log in prior to seeing what's available for downloading off of the apache web server?
[05:44] <scunizi> I ssh -X uname@IP address .. now I want to start firefox.. after typing firefox <enter> it errors (no display specified).. how do I specify a display?
[05:44] <tim2> Jordan_U - I tried for a day to install 10.04 and had to give up.
[05:44] <relentless> n2diy: no kill the proccess
[05:44] <Jordan_U> scunizi: Are you using screen?
[05:44] <scunizi> Jordan_U: not on this instance
[05:44] <sebsebseb> tesla555: ok yeah 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade might go wrong, but normally upgrades go fine
[05:45] <Wamphyri> hmm
[05:45] <scunizi> Jordan_U: I can though if needed..
[05:45] <sebsebseb> tesla555: Firefox won't open in Ubuntu?
[05:45] <sebsebseb> tesla555: wrong one
[05:45] <n2diy> relentless: its dead, killed on the first pass, was it just luck that it was displayed at the end of the screen where I could see it?
[05:45] <relentless> n2diy: yes
[05:46] <Jordan_U> scunizi: I ask because it you are using screen, then $DISPLAY will be set to the value that screen was first started with, rather than being inherited from login.
[05:46] <n2diy> relentless: ok, thanks
[05:46] <relentless> n2diy: well paste me in PM what it said
[05:46] <relentless> just to make sur
[05:46] <relentless> e
[05:47] <scunizi> Jordan_U: ok.. I'll have to remember that.. got a possible solution for me?
[05:47] <n2diy> relentless: it was listed right in front of my eyes, I did kill ps#, and it died, all is well, thanks.
[05:47] <relentless> cool
[05:47] <Wamphyri> any reason why i can't run sudo as my user?
[05:47] <unop> Wamphyri, what's the error?
[05:47] <relentless> Wamphyri: You are not in the sudoers?
[05:48] <Wamphyri> Failed to run computer-janitor-gtk as user root.
[05:48] <Wamphyri> The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[05:48] <Zelozelos> wheres a good place to learn about routers, network configurations and wireless network configs?
[05:48] <Jordan_U> scunizi: If you have screen set to start at login (which byobu allows you to setup easily) then just exit the current shell and it should bring you to a non-screen prompt.
[05:48] <j800r> Wamphyri, i don't recommend computer janitor anyway
[05:48] <Zelozelos> oh and modems ie, cable modems
[05:48] <tesla555> sebsebseb: wat was my doubt is that...i have some set of apps in 9.04...like vlc,java,octave,all installed from package manager or apt...but when i upgrade it means it has to retain old apps...instead i loose all installed apps in 9.04 when i in 9.10
[05:48] <Wamphyri> j8 well i can't run the software center either
[05:48] <j800r> to clean up obsolete packages just type sudo apt-get autoremove
[05:49] <XFGoldenBBL> Zelozelos ... You can't hack a cable modem and have it work for more than a few days
[05:49] <sebsebseb> tesla555: 9.10  offers no proper advantage over 9.04
[05:49] <j800r> Wamphyri, why do you need to run the software centre through terminal? :\
[05:49] <sebsebseb> tesla555: 10.04 offers little proper advantage
[05:49] <Jordan_U> scunizi: Then you can either run apps from there, or find the value of $DISPLAY to set it (and export it) within a screen session.
[05:49] <j800r> just select it from the menu
[05:49] <sebsebseb> tesla555: may as well stay with 9.04 for now :)
[05:49] <scunizi> Jordan_U: no.. I'm sshed in from my laptop to desktop and didn't initiate screen at all.. so are you saying getting ff to run remote via ssh is easier with screen running on the host or not?  not really following.
[05:49] <tesla555> what is proper advantage sebsebseb
[05:49] <unop> Wamphyri, does  ''sudo -i''  work?
[05:49] <n2diy> Zelozelos: the Rute Manual? It is online, and in synaptic.
[05:49] <Wamphyri> j8 not through terminal
[05:50] <tesla555> ya i fell its stable
[05:50] <Wamphyri> on my desktop lol
[05:50] <sebsebseb> tesla555: you will even get a proper Firefox update soon,  unless its already happended of course
[05:50] <scunizi> Jordan_U: you gotta give me a mini how to..
[05:50] <sebsebseb> tesla555: I mean features that are truely worth upgrading for
[05:50] <Jordan_U> scunizi: No, it's harder with screen. Does "echo $DISPLAY" print anything?
[05:50] <j800r> Wamphyri, it won't run software centre at all, or it won't accept your password?
[05:50] <tesla555> so upgrade only update the OS n destroys all old apps
[05:50] <Wamphyri> [sudo] password for wamphyri:
[05:50] <Wamphyri> wamphyri is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[05:50] <Zelozelos> XFGoldenBBL, who said anything about hacking one? i just want to learn all about the one i have, i just bought a motorola router/modem and im itchin to set up my 1st network
[05:50] <sebsebseb> tesla555: no
[05:50] <j800r> ah
[05:50] <sebsebseb> tesla555: upgrades normally go fine, but
[05:50] <SickAnimations> is it possible to restart a GUI (gnome) program running on a system? That is, if somebody was on it they'd see the program close, then open again?
[05:50] <Wamphyri> j8 thats on sudo -i
[05:50] <sebsebseb> tesla555: when 9.10 came out
[05:50] <Wamphyri> lol
[05:50] <Flomaster> I have installed SABnzbD and would like it to auto start what do I need to change here http://pastebin.com/hX0x0G7V
[05:51] <scunizi> Jordan_U: NOPE
[05:51] <j800r> Wamphyri, permissions aren't set. you the only user?
[05:51] <sebsebseb> tesla555:  a lot of people expereinced issues upgrading from 9.04
[05:51] <unop> Wamphyri, right, that's the issue .. did you install ubuntu on this machine?
[05:51] <scunizi> Jordan_U: sorry.. had the caps lock on from $DISPLAY
[05:51] <mabt> 怎么都是英文a
[05:51] <Wamphyri> yup
[05:51] <sebsebseb> tesla555: as a result of some of those issues, some even clean installed and put 9.04 back on, even
[05:51] <scunizi> !cn | mabt
[05:51] <atcho> mabt: welcome to #ubuntu-cn not here
[05:51] <j800r> hm
[05:51] <Zelozelos> heh, looks like it does everything ...but i know nothin ;(
[05:51] <tesla555> sebsebseb: is there a way to backup installed apps
[05:51] <unop> !who | Wamphyri
[05:51] <atcho> j800r: haha
[05:51] <mabt> o，知道了，谢谢
[05:52] <atcho> mabt: keqi
[05:52] <Roasted> Can you set up Apache so when a user goes to the web address it requires the user to log in prior to seeing what's available for downloading off of the apache web server?
[05:52] <tim2> Jordan_U: I'm using 9.10, not 9.01.  It's installs perfectly.  Displayed on my second monitor, allowed me to partition for it, etc.  The wubi in the new version seems to get in the way.
[05:52] <sebsebseb> tesla555: no don't think so, but in the future,  it seems you will be able to easilly  do a clean install with any  apps you had before, and the settings
[05:52] <Wamphyri> j8 which file has the sudo information?
[05:52] <scunizi> Jordan_U: I'll tell you why I'm doing this.. I just installed ebox on my desktop and trying to access it remotely via my laptop
[05:52] <SickAnimations> is it possible to launch a program to launch a gui program on the desktop using remote SSH?
[05:52] <sebsebseb> tesla555: they have already started work on something, so yeah
[05:52] <unop> Wamphyri, if you installed ubuntu yourself - log on as the first user you made and add this user to the adm group
[05:53] <j800r> lol, unop beat me to it
[05:53] <Wamphyri> unop so i can't do it through terminal as root?
[05:53] <j800r> and did a far better job of explaining
[05:53] <unop> Wamphyri, chicken and the egg situation - you need sudo to become root.
[05:53] <tesla555> sebsebseb: k thanks
[05:53] <Wamphyri> unop / j8 i only have 2 users root and this one
[05:54] <sebsebseb> tesla555: 10.10 might even provide the btrfs file system by default,  and that will provide a proper reason to clean install :)   for now though 9.04 is rather fine indeed,  still supported untill the end of Ocotber as well
[05:54] <Wamphyri> unop no i don't very first thing i do with ubuntu is sudo passwd and set a password for root
[05:54] <SickAnimations> Can I launch a GUI program on the server remotely using SSH?
[05:54] <Wamphyri> unop so i don't need to "sudo" everything :p
[05:54] <mabt> #ubuntu-cn
[05:54] <unop> Wamphyri, heh, so log on as root - and add your user to the adm group
[05:54] <sebsebseb> tesla555: yes slightly older versions of a lot of programs, but so what
[05:54] <Zelozelos> anyone know the SMTP server name for hotmail?
[05:54] <unop> !rootsudo | Wamphyri
[05:54] <tesla555> sebsebseb: wat after october
[05:55] <tim2> I tried the 'alternate' version of 10.04 and that didn't work either.  I'm in China and I'm wondering if others here are having the same problem.
[05:55] <mabt> 请问怎么进入中文聊天室呢？
[05:55] <unop> Wamphyri, we don't really support what you have done
[05:55] <sebsebseb> tim2: 11.04 at the end of April
[05:55] <SteveThing> Grr.. Ok, so I'm trying to setup TwinView. I have an nVidia 8800GTS and using the newest drivers from nVidia.com. I have an Asus VW246H (24") on DVI and a Xerox XR3-17Gs (17") on DVI via VGA Adapter. The Xerox is showing as a CRT. How do I fix this?
[05:55] <mabt> 谁回答我a
[05:55] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: You can do an in place upgrade to btrfs :)
[05:55] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: maybe so, but I guess it will be like Ext3 to Ext4 conversion, can't gaurantee you have the proper thing
[05:55] <j800r> Wamphyri,  logging in as root/superuser isn't really recommended. that's why sudo exists.
[05:55] <resoLution> wich is the command for reconfigure the resolution on ubuntu lucid?
[05:56] <Zelozelos> 只要使用此页 http://translate.google.com
[05:56] <scunizi> How do you access ebox once installed..
[05:56] <Wamphyri> unop trying to remeber what file i need to edit in /etc to fix the grouping issue
[05:56] <SickAnimations> Yo, how can I launch a gui program on the server using SSH?
[05:56] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: Not sure what you mean by "can't gaurantee you have the proper thing"
[05:56] <Wamphyri> j8 yeah i know
[05:56] <sebsebseb> tesla555: Newer is not always better, with Ubuntu it isn't about what is the letest, its about what is still supported :)
[05:56] <tim2> Further, 10.04 installed just fine on my netbook.
[05:56] <Wamphyri> but the first distro i ran was debian 1.3
[05:56] <unop> Wamphyri,  it's /etc/sudoers -- but you shouldn't edit this file directly, use the visudo command instead
[05:56] <hagabaka> mabt: #ubuntu-cn
[05:56] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: as far as I know got to clean install for full Ext4 support
[05:56] <Wamphyri> then played with slack somthing and redhat 5.2
[05:56] <n2diy> SickAnimations: startx?
[05:56] <Wamphyri> got a bit of a basis
[05:57] <SickAnimations> Is it even possible to launch a gui program on the host machine remotely over SSH?
[05:57] <Wamphyri> j8 i just forget alot of the stuff since its been a while lol
[05:57] <sebsebseb> tim2: also I think 9.04 is the best version of Ubuntu that is still supported :)
[05:57] <Wamphyri> unop thank you
[05:57] <sebsebseb> tesla555: ^
[05:57] <scunizi> SickAnimations: been trying.. the answer is yes.. but tonight I must be brain dead because I can't remember how I did it in the past..
[05:57] <j800r> !tab | Wamphyri
[05:58] <Wamphyri> unop is it sorta same thing as vipw?
[05:58] <tim2> sebsebseb: Yes, it seems so.
[05:58] <SickAnimations> scunizi: Ah, so it's possible. Cheers :) Any suggestions on where to look for answers?
[05:58] <sebsebseb> tim2: I messaged you there by mistake, your on 9.04?
[05:58] <unop> Wamphyri, well, yes, except this is for the sudoers file
[05:59] <resoLution> please, with what command i could reconfigure the resolution on ubuntu lucid?
[05:59] <scunizi> SickAnimations: I think it's ssh -X uname@IP Address  . . after that run a program.. but it's not working for me tonight
[05:59] <tim2> sebsebseb: Yes, after trying to upgrade to 10.04, I gave up and returned to 9.10
[05:59] <Wamphyri> nop ok the issue is tho that my username doesn't have the group sudo, the sudoers file is fine
[05:59] <SickAnimations> scunizi: So you route the X session back to the machine itself?
[05:59] <sebsebseb> tim2: ok well then thats 9.10, not 9.04
[05:59] <Wamphyri> nop/unop
[05:59] <unop> SickAnimations, you want to run the GUI app on the remote machine or the local machine?
[06:00] <SickAnimations> unop: The SSH host. That is, the machine I'm SSHing into.
[06:00] <scunizi> unop: remote
[06:00] <unop> Wamphyri,  ok, then   adduser your_user_name sudo
[06:00] <SteveThing> I have an nVidia 8800GTS and using the newest drivers from nVidia.com. I have an Asus VW246H (24") on DVI and a Xerox XR3-17Gs (17") on DVI via VGA Adapter. The Xerox is showing as a CRT. How do I fix this?
[06:00] <hiexpo> did someone message me
[06:00] <tim2> sebsebseb: Is there a version of 10.04 that installs like 9.01.  I don't need the wubi stuff.
[06:00] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: The features that people care about with btrfs, snapshotting and other fun COW features, are available after conversion from ext3/4. The existing data may not be quite as efficiently placed on disk (for instance, if you're upgrading from ext3 no existing files will be using extends) but IMHO that doesn't matter much compared to the COW features that you will get.
[06:00] <Zelozelos> is the smtp server name gonna be pop3.live.com for hotmail?
[06:01] <unop> SickAnimations, set DISPLAY before running the command then.   ssh you@host 'DISPLAY=blah gui_app >/dev/null 2>&1 &'
[06:01] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: uhmm Ext does not have snapshots.  COW features?
[06:01] <eshannon> Hello everyone need help with permission's on a new drive I installed. I can create folders as root but not as a normal user
[06:01] <tesla555> smtp.hotmail.com
[06:01] <SickAnimations> unop: Oh, thanks. What is
[06:01] <sebsebseb> tim2: oh you been doing Wubi?
[06:01] <scunizi> unop: what is the =blah portion?  anything you want?
[06:02] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: I'm talking about the conversion from ext3/4 to btrfs.
[06:02] <SickAnimations> unop: What is "blah" ? and what is 2>&1 & - if you have time...
[06:02] <sebsebseb> tim2: Wubi is ok for short term trying, when it works, but in the long run proper partitioned install is better :)
[06:02] <adahendra> how add backtrack 4 men on Ubuntu 10.04?
[06:03] <hypatia> the only real downside to wubi i've seen is a mild disk performance hit
[06:03] <tesla555> wow mac4lin looks good in desktop
[06:03] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: yeah I didn't know what you meant by COW, (Moo Moo)
[06:03] <hypatia> i ran it for 2 year on my work machien :)
[06:03] <unop> scunizi, SickAnimations.  well, the default is :0.0 ... but you can find out with    ps ef | grep -io DISPLAY=.... | sort -u
[06:03] <tim2> sebsebseb: The wubi stuff came with 10.04.  I haven't found 10.04 without it.
[06:03] <tesla555> cairo-dock is aswsome
[06:03] <hiexpo> !backtrack | adahendra
[06:03] <sebsebseb> tim2: How did you instal 10.04?
[06:03] <SquirrelPants> Hey y'all. I'm having some trouble installng Ubuntu. I'm assuming this is the place to go?
[06:03] <SquirrelPants> For help, I mean. >_>
[06:03] <SickAnimations> unop: Thanks very much :) I appreciate the help.
[06:03] <unop> SickAnimations, the redirection and backgrounding part ( >/dev/null 2>&1 &) is needed to stop ssh from hanging until the app is finished running,
[06:04] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: Btrfs is a copy on write filesystem, which means that you can do things like "cp --reflink somebigfile somenewcopy" and somenewcopy will use the same data blocks as somebigfile, but unlike with hardlinks you can modify somenewcopy without changing somebigfile. Only differences are written.
[06:04] <j800r> !anyone | SquirrelPants
[06:04] <SickAnimations> unop: I see. Thanks again :)
[06:04] <sebsebseb> tim2: Ubuntu can be installed inside WIndows using Wubi, or the Live CD can be booted and a proper partitioned install can be made :)  plus there are other ways it can be installed
[06:04] <SquirrelPants> Heh.
[06:04] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: It's also what allows instant, writeable snapshots.
[06:04] <j800r> ask away SquirrelPants. someone will try and help you if they can
[06:05] <hiexpo> adahendra,  and adding the backtrack repos to ubuntu is not a good i dea all it does is corrupt it
[06:05] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: ah right ok, yeah I don't know much about it at the moment,  but yeah full system restore snapshots do sound rather nice
[06:05] <Wamphyri> unop can you edit the group file directly?
[06:05] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[06:05] <SquirrelPants> Alright. I got the Ubuntu 10.04 ISO extracted onto a CD and all that, and it is in my computer. It got to a loading screen, and it appeared to be working up until
[06:05] <SquirrelPants> whoops
[06:05] <SquirrelPants> ...it appeared to be working up until it opened up a terminal sort of deal.
[06:05] <adahendra> @hiexpo ; ok ,
[06:05] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: yeah and its meant to be the alternative to ZFS or whatever as well
[06:06] <j800r> SquirrelPants, er... you EXTRACTED the ISO? o.0
[06:06] <SquirrelPants> Erm
[06:06] <SquirrelPants> not extracted.
[06:06] <ShapeShifter499> I just installed an ubuntu server and I'm wondering, was it good to install into an Encrypted LVM partition?
[06:06] <unop> Wamphyri, no, not a good idea - if you fumble and make a mistake, you risk locking yourself (and other users) out of the system
[06:06] <j800r> all you need to do is burn it as an image onto disc
[06:06] <SquirrelPants> I mean I got it onto a CD.
[06:06] <SquirrelPants> Yeah.
[06:06] <SquirrelPants> That's what I meant. Just...said it weird. >_>
[06:06] <tesla555> SquirrelPants: burn
[06:06] <tim2> sebsebseb: I tried to do the live CD but it wouldn't work.  It stopped after the little dots finished lighting.  So I was obliged to use wubi.
[06:06] <j800r> ok, and it just loaded into a terminal?
[06:07] <sebsebseb> tim2: oh
[06:07] <SquirrelPants> Yeah.
[06:07] <unop> Wamphyri,  use vipw to edit the group file -- or better use one of the many user and group management tools.   things like useradd, usermod, userdel, etc
[06:07] <scunizi> unop: when I run that command I only get a > prompt
[06:07] <sebsebseb> tim2: a bad burn possibily
[06:07] <sebsebseb> tim2: or ISO
[06:07] <unop> scunizi, which command?
[06:07] <Wamphyri> unop thank you :)
[06:07] <sebsebseb> !md5sum > tim2
[06:07] <h0rnman> can anyone tell me if there is an event in Upstart that I can trap to ensure that a CIFS unmount script runs before any sort of network down scenario when I shut down or reboot?  I understand that this is not a strictly Ubuntu related question, but I am not getting any traction in #upstart
[06:07] <tim2> sebsebseb: yes, perhaps.
[06:07] <thebishop> has flash been crashing like crazy for anyone else since the 64-bit version was scrapped?
[06:07] <Jordan_U> tim2: You could try the alternate install CD, it will almost always successfully install... the only problems is that whatever bug is preventing the liveCD from booting might prevent the installed system from booting as well.
[06:08] <sebsebseb> tim2: right and what happended to the 10.04 Wubi?
[06:08] <cheosite> hi all
[06:08] <tesla555> why doesnt a live cd have root passwd
[06:08] <scunizi> unop: the remote X line .. I had actually forgotten to put the final ' mark at the end of the line.. when I did that it asked for a password from the remote machine and after entered .... nothing
[06:08] <cheosite> how to use proxy in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[06:08] <sebsebseb> !root | tesla555
[06:08] <tesla555> jsut doin sudo--i
[06:08] <j800r> SquirrelPants, you could try burning again. the burn may not have been fully successful, or try downloading again in case the ISO itself is corrupt. otherwise i'm not sure why it wouldn't boot at all for you. maybe a hardware thing :\
[06:09] <SquirrelPants> so basically the problem I am having is that it is not installing correctly. Instead of going to the regular install and asking for your language and whatnot, it is sending me to a terminal and I have no idea how to fix it.
[06:09] <unop> scunizi, so, you're saying the command ran on the remote machine but nothing happened?
[06:09] <j800r> sebsebseb, that ubottu response is hilarious. almost a direct Matrix quote :P
[06:09] <scunizi> unop: yep
[06:09] <sebsebseb> tim2: ah well 9.10 is better than 10.04 in certain ways :)
[06:09] <unop> scunizi, are you sure you got the right value for DISPLAY ?
[06:09] <SquirrelPants> I suppose I will try that, j800r. If the problem isn't the burn then I have no idea what to do.
[06:10] <sebsebseb> j800r: Is it?
[06:10] <SquirrelPants> Thanks for the help, I suppose.
[06:10] <scunizi> unop: I used the other command .. I used 0.0 .. or should it have been 0:0?
[06:10] <tesla555> 9.04 >10.04
[06:10] <unop> scunizi, DISPLAY=:0.0
[06:10] <sebsebseb> tesla555: yes 9.04 better than 10.04 really :)
[06:10] <Roasted> Can you set up Apache so when a user goes to the web address it requires the user to log in prior to seeing what's available for downloading off of the apache web server?
[06:10] <Jordan_U> unop: If you used ":0.0" then it ran on the display connected to the server directly.
[06:10] <scunizi> unop: yep .. that's what I used
[06:10] <Jordan_U> scunizi: ^^
[06:10] <SwedeMike> Roasted: yes. look into .htaccess.
[06:10] <Daijoubu> Is there a way to install Ubuntu like Fedora where you can click Encrypt System and then enter Key for encryption?
[06:10] <tim2> Jordan_U: I tried the alternate version also.  I took forever and then failed.
[06:10] <unop> Jordan_U, that's the idea.
[06:11] <scunizi> Jordan_U: unop ah..
[06:11] <SwedeMike> Roasted: I'm sure it's covered extensively in the apache faq:s
[06:11] <Roasted> SwedeMike, thanks
[06:11] <unop> scunizi, ?
[06:11] <sebsebseb> tim2: 9.10 for now then,   uhmm you can probably then upgrade through 10.04, after the final release of 10.10
[06:11] <scunizi> unop: just responding to what Jordan_U said above.. to you
[06:12] <sebsebseb> tim2: or do a clean install of 10.10 of course,  but yeah thats the future,  quite a while yet
[06:12] <piyushmishra> hi how to make the SSL certificate and use it with apache?
[06:12] <unop> scunizi, let's see the command you tried.
[06:12] <piyushmishra> can anyone guide me on that?
[06:12] <sebsebseb> tim2: however 9.04 does run out of support at the end of October, and then your meant to be running something later
[06:12] <SwedeMike> piyushmishra: check out the apache website faq:s, it should be in ther.
[06:12] <sebsebseb> tim2:  uh nevermind, you said 9.10, you got untill the end of April next year
[06:12] <scunizi> unop: ssh -X mark@192.168.0.50 'DISPLAY=0:1 firefox >/dev/null 2>&1 &'
[06:12] <tim2> sebsebseb: Thanks for the message.  I'll try the checksum verification.  Anyway, I'm happy with 9.10.
[06:13] <SteveThing> Can someone help me setup my xorg.conf file to manually configure my secondary LCD monitor?
[06:13] <Jordan_U> scunizi: I assumed that you wanted the window to appear on the machine that you are sshing from, rather than on the display connected to the server directly. Is that correct?
[06:13] <scunizi> unop: also with 0.0 and 0:0
[06:13] <scunizi> Jordan_U: yes
[06:13] <unop> scunizi, that's an invalid value for DISPLAY .. and you don't need -X here as you're not forwarding X to the localmachine
[06:13] <Daijoubu> Is there a way to install Ubuntu like Fedora where you can click Encrypt System and then enter Key for encryption?
[06:14] <Jordan_U> scunizi: I think that the problem is that your server has X forewarding disabled for some reason.
[06:14] <unop> scunizi,   :0.0  not 0.0 or 0:0
[06:14] <unop> Jordan_U, he's not trying to forward X, rather run an X app on the remote machine.
[06:15] <scunizi> unop: Jordan_U ok.. I'll have to tackle this again tomorrow sometime.. I've gotta hit the hay as they say.. Thank you both for the input
[06:15] <Jordan_U> unop: Read his response to my last question :)
[06:15] <unop> Jordan_U, well, that's not what he was trying to help the OP with -- the OP's requirement was to get it to run on the remote machine
[06:16] <tesla555> sebsebseb: i downlaoded and installed  virtualbox-3.2_3.2.4-62467~Ubuntu~jaunty_i386.deb and double click n installed...i dont ficd virtaul box in the menu after install
[06:17] <tesla555> ya got it
[06:17] <scunizi> unop: Jordan_U Isn't the machine I'm ssh-ing from the remote machine to the one I'm connecting to?
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[06:18] <sebsebseb> tesla555: if programs don't add them selves to menu after install, you can re install or log out and back in again to the account, and they will probably be there, well unless of course they are command line apps for example
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> Tesla555: add an entry to run Virtualbox (the capital V is important). Should be ok
[06:18] <unop> scunizi,  use the terms local and remote - they better indicate which machine you mean.  local is the one you run the ssh command on, remote is the machine you connect to
[06:18] <spvensko> is there a scanning program in linux that doesn't suck?
[06:18] <tesla555> ya its ok now
[06:18] <unop> !language | spvensko
[06:18] <tesla555> i tried small v
[06:18] <scunizi> unop: ah ok.. I flip-floped
[06:18] <sebsebseb> !info xsane
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> Spvensko: simplescan or xsane
[06:18] <spvensko> suck is a cuss word? o_O have you watched a PG movie lately?
[06:18] <sebsebseb> spvensko: xsane I guess
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> Spvensko: you can also scan in gimp
[06:19] <spvensko> ty helpful people that aren't 4 year olds
[06:19] <spvensko> gimp may be my best bet, ty very much
[06:19] <sebsebseb> spvensko: indeed sucks doesn't really count as bad langauge
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> Spvensko: we can't vouch for your taste though
[06:19] <sebsebseb> spvensko: altough I guess that depends on the context
[06:19] <spvensko> sebsebseb, please, think of the children in #ubuntu at 1:20 AM EST
[06:20] <sebsebseb> spvensko: thats only your time zone, this channel is global,  this is the Internet
[06:20] <unop> spvensko,  not everyone here resides in the EST time zone eh
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Spvensko: its 6;20 here. Lots of kids awake
[06:20] <spvensko> but in #ubuntu?
[06:20] <spvensko> and offended by "suck"?
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Spvensko: I think its fine but what I say doesn't go
[06:20] <unop> spvensko, you can choose better vocabulary than that, i'm sure.
[06:20] <sebsebseb> spvensko: I think that was unop being slightly silly, or wanting to use the factoid
[06:20] <spvensko> i hear more offensive language during prime time TV
[06:20] <SteveThing> Can someone help me setup my xorg.conf file to manually configure my secondary LCD monitor?
[06:21] <Jordan_U> spvensko: ubottu is less than 6 years old!
[06:21] <unop> sebsebseb, actually no, people have been kicked out for using it before.
[06:21] <spvensko> perhaps someone can suggest a scanning program that doesn't scan at 10 ppm by default
[06:21] <Jordan_U> spvensko: And he's here all the time.
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> Stevething: what video card?
[06:21] <sebsebseb> unop: really?
[06:21] <Wamphyri> spvensko then you defintily know #ubuntu isn't a sheep and doesn't follow the rest of the world
[06:21] <piyushmishra> I tried following ubuntu instructions on enabling and using ssl
[06:21] <soreau> SteveGriff: Which gpu is it?
[06:21] <soreau> man I hate this channel
[06:21] <spvensko> Wamphyri, more protective than most christian talk radio shows it seems
[06:21] <piyushmishra> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/httpd.html this page
[06:21] <soreau> SteveThing: Which gpu is it?
[06:21] <unop> sebsebseb, and i've been here for over 5 years, i know not to be trigger happy with the bot :)
[06:21] <sebsebseb> unop: well if they say in a troll type way that Ubuntu sucks, for example, then well I understand why they would get kicked out maybe for it
[06:21] <Firstgear> is there any interface for text to voice on ubuntu that uses festival, appart fromt the command line?
[06:21] <SteveThing> ActionParsnip, nVidia 8800GTS (640MB)
[06:22] <piyushmishra> in the last step I get an error can anyone help?
[06:22] <unop> sebsebseb, no no, it was in a similar context
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> Stevething: if you have the proprietary drivers installed you can use nvidia-settings
[06:22] <Wamphyri> spvensko just means people need to use the brains and use proper vocabular :p
[06:22] <sebsebseb> unop: ah yes
[06:22] <soreau> SteveThing: Try nvidia-settings as super user and configure it then select save to conf file option
[06:22] <SteveThing> ActionParsnip, I'm aware, but it detects the secondary monitor as CRT
[06:22] <sebsebseb> unop: however  people are alloweed their opinions on programs
[06:22] <prince_jammys> troll question succeeded.
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> Stevething: if you want an xorg.conf file you can run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings
[06:23] <sebsebseb> unop: not everyone will ike Simple Scan
[06:23] <Incarnation> can anyone here please do me a favour and type in a sentence with my nickname mentioned in it, and then type in another sentence that starts with "Incarnation:" without the quotes? I need to test something
[06:23] <prince_jammys> Incarnation: hello.
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> Stevething: you can then setup the display and click "save to x config file"
[06:23] <unop> sebsebseb, well slightly besides the point - dissent is fine, just keep the language tasteful.
[06:23] <prince_jammys> Incarnation: /join #test
[06:23] <soreau> Incarnation: Incarnation without the quotes
[06:23] <sebsebseb> prince_jammys: yeah I guess it worked, however I don't think it was a troll question
[06:23] <Daijoubu> Can no one tell me how to encryp the entire system on installing Ubuntu? :(
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> Stevething: it will see a crt as its probably using vga port rather than dvi, doesn't really matter though
[06:24] <Daijoubu> *encrypt
[06:24] <SteveThing> ActionParsnip and soreau, I know about those, but the problem isn't resolved that wat.
[06:24] <Wamphyri> unop lets see if i destroyed my group and group shadow files lmao
[06:24] <Wamphyri> brb need to reboot
[06:24] <unop> Wamphyri, heh
[06:24] <spvensko> sebsebseb is right, simple scan legitimately sucks
[06:24] <soreau> SteveThing: Well the nvidia driver sucks
[06:24] <sebsebseb> unop: we could probably go on about this for a while, this word is good, this word is bad,  but lets stop now,  its making things go off topic
[06:24] <prince_jammys> sebsebseb: is there an <insert whatever> in linux that doesn't suck?  I'd rank that in the troll's top 10.
[06:24] <pc600> Is there a way to get a later version of xl2tpd in apt-get install?  The one in there is not compatible with the kernel verison of the os
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> Stevething: if you doesn't give the resolution you want simply set the res then edit xorg.conf to set the res
[06:24] <SteveThing> ActionParsnip, I've spent the last 2 hours trying to setup TwinView, but I keep getting mode errors... I read on the forums it was due to the CRT detection
[06:24] <pc600> Or am I on my own for a compile here?
[06:24] <spvensko> prince_jammys, i am trying to scan checks to submit online to my bank and simplescan simple isn't doing the job
[06:25] <sebsebseb> spvensko: xsane
[06:25] <sebsebseb> !info xsane
[06:25] <spvensko> yes i am using that now ty
[06:25] <prince_jammys> spvensko: ok.
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> Pc600: apt-cache seach xl2tpd
[06:25] <sebsebseb> prince_jammys: good point
[06:25] <Incarnation> prince_jammys: Thanks! soreau: Thanks! didn
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> Stevething: didn't think it mattered as long as the right refresh and resolution was defined
[06:25] <Incarnation> didn't quite work*
[06:25] <SteveThing> ActionParsnip, I have my primary monitor (24", 1080p@60Hz) and my secondary via adapter (17", 1280x1024@60Hz)
[06:26] <pc600> ActionParsnip - It's there, doesn't lis ta verison.  I installed it, it's 1.2.0, which has been broken since kernel 2.6.23
[06:26] <pc600> (you need 1.2.4)
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | pc600
[06:26] <sebsebseb> prince_jammys: altough the top 10, I guess you mean top 10 ways to troll or something
[06:26] <prince_jammys> sebsebseb: indeed.
[06:26] <prince_jammys> but let's move on :)
[06:26] <SteveThing> "Failed to set MetaMode (1) 'CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select"
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> Pc600: maybe a ppa will give what you need
[06:27] <pc600> ActionParsnip - I see this here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/xl2tpd/download
[06:27] <pc600> that one appears to b ethe correct verison.
[06:27] <SteveThing> "Failed to set MetaMode (1) 'CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select @1280x1024 +1920+0, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select @1920x1080 +0+0' (Mode 3200x1080, id: 50) on X screen 0."
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> Pc600: are you using karmic?
[06:27] <pc600> ActionParsnip - I don't know how to tell
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> Stevething: all I can say is log a bug
[06:27] <SteveThing> :(
[06:27] <marenostrum> !fortunes-debian-hints
[06:27] <pc600> ActionParsnip - Is there a releaseinfo file somewhere?
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> Pc600: lsb_release -c
[06:27] <pc600> ActionParsnip - jaunty
[06:27] <SteveThing> ActionParsnip, thanx for your time none-the-less
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> Pc600: then you will need a jauny ppa with the verison you want (see ubottu's link) or upgrade to karmic from jaunty
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> Stevething: seems weird, thought it'd just be a case of res/refresh and bam, done
[06:29] <pc600> ActionParsnip - yeah, jauny has old verison it seems:  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/i386/xl2tpd/1.2.0+dfsg-1ubuntu1
[06:29] <SteveThing> ActionParsnip, seems to be the general concensus
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> Pc600: the ppa link ubottu gave will let you search the ppas. Somebody may have compiled your version for jaunty ;). See what you can find
[06:30] <pc600> action - nothing
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> Stevething: is there anyone active in #xorg ,if it exists
[06:31] <SteveThing> ActionParsnip, yep, i'll try there, thanx
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> Sweet. Gl
[06:31] <Wamphyri> unop: looks good lol thank you for your help
[06:31] <Wamphyri> j800r: and you as well
[06:33] <connor> Hello
[06:34] <marenostrum> hello; I want to make contact with the maintainers of a package in Ubuntu universe repository. I can't find info on Launchpad. I know, its in Universe but there should be some info related with it I suppose. Package: fortune-debian-hints Any suggestions?
[06:35] <marenostrum> update for the package name, s was missing: fortunes-debian-hints
[06:36] <Jordan_U> marenostrum: Have you filed a bug report?
[06:37] <marenostrum> Jordan_U: First I am trying to find the main page of the package. But I can't.
[06:37] <unop> marenostrum,  http://wiki.debian.org/FortunesDebianHints
[06:38] <marenostrum> Jordan_U: For its in Universe it is not officially supported by Canonical.
[06:38] <marenostrum> unop: Thank you very much
[06:39] <nick_> hi
[06:39] <antone2> hey
[06:39] <jmartin> hello
[06:40] <nick_> my RAID struggle continues ...
[06:40] <jmartin> whats the issue
[06:40] <jmartin> i had a raid issue today. fixed it
[06:40] <nick_> installed ubuntu server 10.4
[06:40] <nick_> on RAID0
[06:41] <nick_> have non-raid boot partition
[06:41] <nick_> and now I managed to boot into grub
[06:41] <nick_> but it doesn't show mennu
[06:41] <nick_> just the cmd line
[06:41] <nick_> not sure what to do from there
[06:42] <jmartin> define: doesnt show menu.
[06:42] <nick_> tried running the linux cmd from the grub config manually
[06:42] <Sam_Fisher> Howdy Ya'll
[06:42] <jmartin> do you mean grub goes thru cli
[06:42] <nick_> but did nothing
[06:43] <nick_> well, grub boots and I have a prompt
[06:43] <nick_> no menu to choose from
[06:43] <Sam_Fisher> Under Sound preferences I have nothing listed under hardware and no sound either. Laptop. Was messing with USB Dongle and Skype headset.
[06:43] <nick_> yes
[06:43] <jmartin> menu? do you mean no kernel options, nick?
[06:43] <nick_> it doesn't go through really
[06:44] <nick_> see, there is grub.cnf which has options in it, but grub is not displaying a menu when ot boots
[06:44] <nick_> I reinstalled it from a live cd so maybe this broke it
[06:44] <prestonc> quick question, I have a need to install ubuntu as a LAMP server under VMWare. How much smaller is the memory footprint of the server version? I'm deciding between buying another 2GB for the Macbook or just installing Server.
[06:45] <jmartin> is there any other OS on the drive nick?
[06:45] <nick_> nope
[06:45] <nick_> clean install
[06:46] <jmartin> on 10.04, grub should  auto-select the newest kernel. i suspect the .iso you used is currupt
[06:46] <Guest26790> does ubuntu need firewall
[06:46] <jmartin> i had the same issue last month on a trixbox iso
[06:46] <nick_> I doubt
[06:46] <Sam_Fisher> Guest26790, yes
[06:47] <nick_> I don't get a grub menu
[06:47] <jmartin> that or maybe a drive issue.
[06:47] <nick_> and then the other problem is, I read that I need mdadm to boot from RAID0
[06:47] <Sam_Fisher> I lost my sound settings. No harware listed
[06:47] <prestonc> anyone have a take on my question?
[06:47] <nick_> and I doubt that the installer installed this properly
[06:47] <nick_> or rather, at all
[06:47] <jmartin> mdadm is an option. apt-get install mdadm
[06:48] <Guest26790> Sam_Fisher, y
[06:48] <grumbly> hey all... How can I tell/discover if my computer uses an EFI or is compatible with it?  Forgive the newbieness of this
[06:48] <grumbly> please
[06:48] <nick_> another question - when installing from the ubuntu server cd, it required internet connection and went through 10 hours of downloading before the install completed
[06:48] <jmartin> thats not right
[06:48] <SteveThing> Well, I'm getting really annoyed with linux again. I enjoy the concept of open-source but, man is it a PITA to setup for a newbie. I hate to say it, but Microcult did a good job for the most part.
[06:48] <nick_> is there a way to do no-internet install
[06:48] <Jordan_U> grumbly: If it's not a mac then even if it is EFI compatible, you probably don't want to use EFI.
[06:49] <jmartin> yes.
[06:49] <nick_> this way I can try reinstall few times without spending weeks
[06:49] <grumbly> Jordan_U: why is that?  and no, it's an Asus k50
[06:49] <nick_> so what I did wrong then
[06:49] <jmartin> i did a 10.04 SE on a pre-blade server in 45 minutes. duel xeon
[06:49] <marenostrum> hello
[06:49] <nick_> I just booted from a flash and proceeded with the installed - it asked me for a CD, network etc, I selected that I do not have a CD and it detected the network etc
[06:50] <jmartin> no cd-rom?
[06:50] <jmartin> on the server?
[06:50] <Wamphyri> !blackberry
[06:50] <nick_> yes
[06:50] <jmartin> what kind of server is this?
[06:50] <Guest26790> does ubuntu need firewall
[06:51] <Wamphyri> Guest26790: do you have a router?
[06:51] <nick_> just a normal intel based custom build
[06:51] <Jordan_U> grumbly: EFI implementations tend to be more buggy than BIOS implementations, and EFI doesn't really present many advantages over BIOS. Also, most FOSS developers that have to work with EFI dislike it.
[06:51] <Guest26790> Wamphyri, no y
[06:51] <andagel> hola ?
[06:51] <jmartin> usb ports?
[06:51] <Guest26790> jmartin, yeah y
[06:51] <Wamphyri> Guest26790: 99% of the router on the market come with a built in firewall
[06:51] <andagel> algien hable español ?
[06:51] <grumbly> Jordan_U: point well taken... however, how can I discern the efi compatibility of my present laptop?
[06:52] <Wamphyri> Guest26790: uhmm typically i would say no you don't need a firewall
[06:52] <jmartin> does the server have usb ports nick?
[06:52] <Guest26790> sí
[06:52] <marenostrum> Guest26790: Ubuntu doesn't need firewall for desktop systems; server side is another story.

[06:53] <andagel> hola ?
[06:53] <nick_> yes
[06:53] <nick_> of course
[06:54] <nick_> how would I boot from usb flash drive otherwise
[06:54] <jmartin> most server installs require cd-rom or net install it is
[06:54] <jmartin> usb cd-rom
[06:54] <nick_> I see
[06:54] <nick_> so usb flash drive not good enough?
[06:54] <Guest26790> cuál es el problema
[06:55] <jmartin> no for server. desktop yes
[06:55] <jmartin> servers are a whole different ball game
[06:55] <jmartin> no gui, all the challenge
[06:55] <stanman246> is freenx safe to use when i'm in an internet cafe?
[06:55] <andagel> tengo bloqueado el puerto 80 de mi coneccion ... y no se como configurar a firefox u otro para que use redireccion
[06:56] <grumbly> how can I identify my computer's compatibility with EFI?
[06:56] <jmartin> stanman- probably not
[06:57] <jmartin> freenx is good. not best in public
[06:57] <Eighteens> omg, a ubuntu related death, my moms windows 7 laptop was having problems, so installed ubuntu, and my moms dog was used to sitting next to the laptop during the day on the bed watching the photo screensave, my mom swears that since i deleted her windows, it's my fault because the dog wouldn't go near the laptop after i installed ubuntu, so during the day it would go under the bed, and since it was hot today, the dog died...

[07:05] <Sc00t3r> @the_file Basically, in the long-run, paying them off toe get full support for a single program is a waste of money and, for long-term thoughts, completely useless.

[07:06] <Sc00t3r> @the_file Command and Conquer became somewhat outdated after Code Red, in my opinion. The game itself was great, however games such as 'Halo Wars' and 'Starcraft 2' are going to blow it out of the water.
[07:06] <the_file> zipper: try pgkey
[07:06] <Sc00t3r> @the_file In short, to get Command and Conquer fully supported under Wine would still be a waste of time and money.
[07:07] <the_file> sc00t3r: not for me :p
[07:07] <indus> Sc00t3r, thats his money and his call isnt it

[07:07] <indus> Sc00t3r, ah ther are enough people sitting idle who will do it
[07:07] <Sc00t3r> @the_file Then you should donate to them to help them get support all-around for Windows applications under their 'Wine'.l

[07:11] <Sc00t3r> @indus, Try quad-booting sometime. You'll know how the rest of us feel.
[07:11] <SteveThing> FYI, for those using dual monitors with the latest nvidia drivers and going from Seperate X windows to TwinView, you need to wipe your xorg.conf by doing sudo nvidia-xconfig, then disable the second monitor in the NVidia Settings GUI. Once that is done, restart X-Server via sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, then login again. Once you are logged in, configure the second monitor as TwinView and restart X-Server again!

[07:25] <indus> songer, ?
[07:25] <_d0lphin_> ActionParsnip so there is no resolution about to (digital vibrance) nvidia ?
[07:25] <wise_crypt> tarek: it will download and install what flash plugin you need according to your computer arch
[07:25] <songer> indus?
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> _d0lphin_: not that I know of. Not heard of the vibrance thing at all
[07:25] <wildbat> !cn | happy
[07:25] <indus> songer, i didnt understand your question
[07:26] <happy> OK
[07:26] <zipper> any1 know how to restart x?
[07:26] <happy> thank you
[07:26] <_d0lphin_> ActionParsnip how can the persons dont heard about digital vibrance bug if this is nede to have image color ... ?
[07:26] <indus> !x
[07:26] <tarek> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/pwTsYrCe
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> _d0lphin_: I'm just sayin I haven't. That's all
[07:27] <spaceman> restart x in ubuntu 10.04 alt gr + print screen (x2) + k
[07:27] <tarek> wise_crypt, ok ill try that now
[07:27] <indus> zipper, alt-sysrq - K i think
[07:27] <indus> !dontzap
[07:27] <_d0lphin_> is strange because most of the linux users like to use nvidia... and not ati that ok
[07:27] <tarek> wise_crypt, sorry how can i find that plugin again?
[07:27] <Jordan_U> Worms: It's not broken, it's just that default=saved and savedefault functionality have been separated.
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> Tarek: yeah thought so. You have FAR too many plugins installed
[07:28] <Worms> Ok how do i correct it?
[07:28] <Jordan_U> Worms: If you want savedefault functionality then you also need to set GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true in /etc/default/grub (and then run sudo update-grub)
[07:28] <tarek> ActionParsnip, oh sorry about that...what do you suggest?
[07:29] <Worms> Jordan_U: Thanks
[07:29] <driverdavid> what is the best irc
[07:29] <Jordan_U> Worms: You're welcome.
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Tarek: remove ALL those packages (ass well as remove their configs or --purge if you use apt-get). Then install flashplugin-nonfree and flash will be fine
[07:29] <fknnewz> hello
[07:29] <driverdavid> test
[07:29] <fknnewz> driverdavid: undernet
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Tarek: if you have more than one plugin they conflict and you get nothing
[07:29] <iLuVdirtypigs> xchat irc
[07:29] <wise_crypt> tarek: https://addons.mozilla.org
[07:29] <Guest26790> mirc
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Driverdavid: there is no best application for any job
[07:30] <tarek> ActionParsnip, ok im gonna do now, ill let you know what happens
[07:30] <fknnewz> driverdavid: or if you like operators ..... efnet is really nice :p
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> Driverdavid: its the same as asking "what's the best beer". It doesn't exist, just like there is no best irc client
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Driverdavid: all you will get is people's opinion but even if we all said the same it doesn't make it best in any way
[07:31] <fknnewz> david was trolling us a bit
[07:31] <fknnewz> david has been around irc for such a long time he knows these things
[07:32] <Andyman555> with a name like fknnewz, I'd think you're trolling too, but I'll be quiet
[07:32] <Cityscape> Help Linux users get itunes. You can sign the petition here: http://www.petitiononline.com/itmslin/petition.html
[07:32] <wise_crypt> tarek: if you still need it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161939
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> Cityscape: some versions of itunes work with some versions of wine
[07:32] <fknnewz> Andyman555: things are not always what they seem especially to you
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> Cityscape: make life easier and don't buy ipods
[07:33] <Jordan_U> Cityscape: This channel is for Ubuntu support, not for getting people to sign petitions. I believe you've already been told this before.
[07:33] <Cityscape> ActionParsnip: a native version would better though. And i dont buy ipods.
[07:33] <Cityscape> Jordan_U: sorry, good night
[07:33] <KrazyKrivda> I have a swap partition that I created, but it is not being used, and I cannot hibernate.. what shoudl I do to fix this?
[07:33] <Andyman555> are there any experts in here on the xorg window system?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> Cityscape: apple simply don't care enough to listen
[07:34] <tarek> wise_crypt, thank you!
[07:34] <Cityscape> ActionParsnip: i'v been told that
[07:34] <Andyman555> are there any xorg experts in here?
[07:34] <wise_crypt> tarek: no problem
[07:34] <tarek> ActionParsnip, would sudo aptitude remove work?

[07:37] <tarek> ActionParsnip, this is what i get now my friend   http://pastebin.com/tSXkbP5y
[07:37] <tertl3> can I ask a question?
[07:37] <tarek> ActionParsnip, it seems that i have a problem with dpkg
[07:37] <Andyman555> alright, first question.) I want to use a tv with a vga connection to my laptop in linux (ubuntu 8.10)
[07:37] <Andyman555> and I'm unsure as to what the best way would be to configure x
[07:38] <tertl3> Andyman555: do you have nvidia?
[07:38] <Andyman555> affirmative
[07:38] <tertl3> Andyman555: use the nvidia config GUI
[07:38] <Hammer> hi, anybody having RAID issues on lucid ?
[07:39] <tarek> ActionParsnip, this is what i get my friend   http://pastebin.com/unxUAzdc
[07:39] <MMKaho> Hammer no but i had problems mounting my DVD drive though
 hmm, whats the problem
[07:40] <MMKaho> nah figured it out but
[07:40] <Hammer> SATA issue ?
[07:40] <MMKaho> nah for some reason is mounting in /mnt/mnt
[07:40] <gorbierd1> i have wallpapers on my gnome desktop, but now i wanna find where my wallpaper file. how do i find where it's located?
[07:40] <MMKaho> it was^
[07:40] <Jo3e> can i set up ics in linux
[07:40] <Hammer> was there an /mn/mnt ? or was it created at mount time ?
[07:40] <MMKaho> but i do got
[07:40] <KrazyKrivda> I've setup a swap partition but it isn't being used judging by the fact i cannot hibernate.. what do I have to do other than swapon
[07:41] <wildbat> !ics | Jo3e
[07:41] <MMKaho> apparently it was created after i installed
[07:41] <fknnewz> ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT has landed !
[07:41] <MMKaho> for some reason when i installed everything got copied inside one another
[07:41] <wise_crypt> !!eol > Andyman555
[07:41] <MMKaho> but i guess that was just me
[07:41] <MMKaho> but
[07:41] <Hammer> prolly an error in one of the automount scripts, a missing "/" or something
[07:41] <MMKaho> could have been but its working now
[07:41] <wildbat> KrazyKrivda, swapon to mount or umount swap on fly ~ fstab for mounting it while boot
[07:42] <kenneth> hey wise_crypt it works but i dunno how to add password am i suppose to add password for NEW PGP key?
[07:42] <Hammer> cool
[07:42] <TANK> firefox keeps crashing, halp
[07:42] <zipper> hey wise_crypt it works but i dunno how to add password am i suppose to add password for NEW PGP key?!@?
[07:42] <MMKaho> but i  bought one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250525395173&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT it uses ralink... how would i get it to work so i can connect using my DS
[07:42] <wise_crypt> zipper: give it a try
[07:42] <KrazyKrivda> wildbat: i do swapon.. but still no option to hibernate
[07:43] <wildbat> KrazyKrivda, it may be other issue ~ but i am no expert
[07:43] <MMKaho> would installing it in wine make it able to use it?
[07:43] <Andyman555> does anybody know how to change dpi through xserver when starting it?
[07:43] <MMKaho> as i just changed from winXP ( too many errors)
[07:43] <KrazyKrivda> wildbat: ok :-\
[07:43] <fknnewz> wine <- they forgot the 'h'
[07:43] <fknnewz> otherwise its so obvious ...
[07:44] <tgywa> What are the most common(most important) parameters one has to set for a mail relay server based on postfix?
[07:44] <Andyman555> would the command startx -- -dpi 96 set the dpi to 96 when starting xserver? and does it only work for older versions of xorg?
[07:45] <Andyman555> and how could I configure X through terminal to display on a secondary (connected) tv ? (VGA port)?
[07:45] <Andyman555> any ideas are greatly appreciated
[07:46] <wise_crypt> Andyman555: cat /etc/lsb-release
[07:46] <Andyman555> one moment
[07:47] <wise_crypt> Andyman555: DISTRIB_RELEASE= ?
[07:47] <Andyman555> 8.10
[07:47] <kop> Andyman555, I've just googled "xorg.conf with tv out " to get a start . surprising how many post their xorg
[07:47] <wise_crypt> !eol | Andyman555
[07:48] <Andyman555> ok, new question then, how about in the latest version of ubuntu
[07:48] <Andyman555> instead of 8.10
[07:48] <Andyman555> I run more than one version on my systems around the house haha
 try not to become an open-relay
[07:48] <prince_jammys> Andyman555: have you tried starting X the way you described?
[07:48] <Andyman555> yes
[07:48] <Andyman555> is there a way to add it to a file to have it do this automatically?
[07:48] <tarek> wise_crypt, hello, i have installed the plugin you told me to and updated adobe flash from the official website and it works now
[07:49] <tarek> wise_crypt, thank you
[07:49] <wise_crypt> tarek: glad it works
[07:49] <tgywa> Hammer, thanks ... I think u mean that do relay for only known hosts right ? If so which paremeter can I use for that ?
[07:49] <wise_crypt> tarek: your welcome
[07:49] <tarek> wise_crypt, but there is another problem....my synaptic seems broken
[07:49] <tarek> wise_crypt, there is borken package with dpkg
[07:49] <prince_jammys> Andyman555: try #xorg in the meantime
[07:49] <tarek> wise_crypt, there is borken package with dpkg
[07:49] <Andyman555> good idea!
[07:50] <Andyman555> why didn't I think of that haha, thanks for the help guys
[07:50] <wise_crypt> tarek: sudo apt-get remove synaptic --purge
[07:50] <tarek> wise_crypt, should i pastebin it to you?
[07:50] <Hammer> tgywa, http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html
[07:50] <wise_crypt> tarek: sudo apt-get install synaptic
[07:50] <tarek> wise_crypt, should i do both commands?
[07:50] <Hammer> tgywa, yes, do not accept to route mail for domains that don't belong to you
[07:50] <wise_crypt> tarek: no one by one
[07:50] <tarek> wise_crypt, ok
[07:51] <tarek> wise_crypt, there is an error after the first command
[07:51] <wise_crypt> tarek: pastebin
[07:52] <nuboon2age_> wise_crypt: could tarek be talking about synaptic showing a broken package (not of synaptic itself, but of another package)?
[07:52] <kevi00> hi there
[07:52] <tarek> wise_crypt, http://pastebin.com/5V1YT4Vu
[07:53] <kevi00> having trouble with screen savers
[07:53] <tarek> nuboon2age, maybe :)
[07:53] <zipper> wise_crypt, its not working it didn't prompt me for a password or anything
[07:53] <tarek> nuboon2age, http://pastebin.com/5V1YT4Vu
[07:54] <simar> isn't there a way in linux to save web pages in mht format as in windows ..so i can menage them more better ???
[07:54] <wise_crypt> zipper: it will if you ask someone to open it not in the same user as you
[07:55] <kevi00> screen savers not working in virtual box,any help?
[07:55] <zipper> wise_crypt, i meant i want it to prompt me for password even if it is in my own login
[07:55] <wise_crypt> tarek: please close your synaptic
[07:55] <prince_jammys> simar: apparently there is a firefox addon for that.
[07:55] <nuboon2age_> wise_crypt: , tarek: could pastebin output  mean that another package manager is running at the same time?
[07:56] <wise_crypt> tarek: there is no need to open apt-get and syanptic at the same time
[07:56] <tarek> wise_crypt, hhow can close my synaptic?
[07:56] <wise_crypt> tarek: dont remove synaptic
[07:57] <simar> prince_jammys thanks i will search it now
[07:57] <tarek> wise_crypt, ok
[07:57] <tarek> nuboon2age, sorry i didnt understand what you meant?
[07:57] <wise_crypt> tarek: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable means othe package manager is running wheter its synaptic or anyother else
[07:57] <tarek> wise_crypt, i dont think im running something else
[07:58] <tarek> wise_crypt, i mean i dont have any other package manager
[07:58] <zipper> any1 able to tell me which program i can use to lock my files?/???????
[07:58] <karmst> Hello
[07:58] <simar> prince_jammys: do you use firefox so some other .. I think firefox is not that efficient .. it slows down a lot when a bug page in launchpad is open .. otherwise it is also not so comfortable .. actually i nedd your advice ..
[07:58] <wise_crypt> tarek: dont remove synaptic its nothing wrong with synaptic i assume, you can killit by killall synaptic
[07:58]  * happy_ i returned and ubuntu-cn no one can help me
[07:58] <prince_jammys> simar: i do use firefox, yes.
[07:58] <karmst> Can you use Jumbo Frames without a switch and just a cross-over cable between servers?
[07:59] <nuboon2age_> tarek: update manager, synaptic, dpkg, Ubuntu Software Center are all package managers and you can only have one going at a time.
[07:59] <gorbierd1> how do i find where located my wallpaper file
[07:59] <simar> prince_jammays
[07:59] <tarek> nuboon2age, do you how i can fix that?
[08:00] <nuboon2age_> tarek: start w/ what wise_crypt is saying.
[08:00] <simar> prince_jammays: which irc client you use ???
[08:00] <prince_jammys> simar: irssi
[08:00] <greezmunkey> word
[08:00] <prince_jammys> ''sudo fuser -vki /var/cache/debconf/config.dat''
[08:00] <simar> prince_jammays why not enthalpy ???
[08:00] <prince_jammys> simar: habit.
[08:00] <tarek> wise_crypt, killall synaptic didnt give anything
[08:00] <simar> prince_jammays ok thanks
[08:00]  * happy_ Why the website opened it slowly linux
[08:01] <prince_jammys> tarek: ''sudo fuser -vki /var/cache/debconf/config.dat''
[08:01] <prince_jammys> this will find and ask you to kill whoever has that file open
[08:01] <wise_crypt> tarek: try to use apt-get to install any software you like and see how it goes
[08:02] <tgywa> if I setup myorgin paremer, will that affect the mails being relayed from some other hosts? or will it change only the domains of the mails originating from that host?
[08:02] <greezmunkey> prince_jammys: does that work on lock files, probably not because they are orphined, huh...I think I answered that myself...
[08:02] <prince_jammys> greezmunkey: it should work
[08:03] <greezmunkey> prince_jammys: could check /var/lock, then run it I suppose...
[08:03] <ericthehax> Hi, I have this problem with zynaddfubfx in lucid lynx: the effects don't work.

[08:05] <ericthehax> ...
[08:06] <happy_> any website
[08:06] <_jesse_> happy_: what browser?
[08:06] <wise_crypt> tarek: what is the mysql-serve do ?
[08:06] <prince_jammys> tarek: ''sudo invoke-rc.d mysql stop''
[08:06] <wise_crypt> *server
[08:06] <nuboon2age_> tarek: well, if I'm reading it correctly it at least looks like you solved the dpkg locking a file problem.
[08:06]  * ericthehax , since he's invisible, takes _jesse_'s money and runs to the other side of the room
[08:07] <wise_crypt> tarek: the package manager ask you to autoremove it
[08:07] <happy_> epiphany
[08:08] <_jesse_> ericthehax: :p I'm sorry I just looked at the channel, didn't see your question in my current scroll
[08:08] <happy_> !.!
[08:08] <_jesse_> happy_: hmm I see, try a differnt browser (e.g. chrome or firefox) and see if it is still slow
[08:08] <ericthehax> i like to joke around. i coulda referenced WalMart in my statement aout invisibility. also, chose u randomly
[08:08] <nuboon2age_> wise_crypt: which line are you seeing that on?
[08:09] <tarek> nuboon2age, i dont think anything has changed
[08:09] <wise_crypt> tarek: if you really need mysql-server do sudo apt-get install mysql --six-missing
[08:09] <tarek> wise_crypt, i dont think it changed anything
[08:09] <wise_crypt> nuboon2age_:  line 7
[08:09] <happy_> i'll try it
[08:09] <bouma> help
[08:09] <_jesse_> ericthehax: chose me randomly to steal my money!? what is zynaddsubfx
[08:09] <bouma> help
[08:09] <wise_crypt> tarek: if you really need mysql-server do sudo apt-get install mysql --fix-missing *
[08:09] <_jesse_> ericthehax: nvm I found it
[08:09] <ericthehax> zynaddsubfx, best synth ever
[08:10] <nuboon2age_> wise_crypt: oh, to remove the old mysql packages, ok yeah.
[08:10] <red> Any ideas how I could get my headset to work with Ubuntu? It's Creative Fatality and I'd mainly use it for skyp action. Sound works just fine -- but the microphone input doesn't appear in the sound preferences/devices.
[08:10] <ericthehax> so what sound system does lucid lynx use that I can't change?
[08:10] <bouma> i used rsyjc t0 sync a /media./../downloads dir from one drive to another, no realising  they were nonoverlaping sets, and with rsync -av --delete /source /dest, and its deleted a list of files.. can i get them back from some undelete util ??
[08:11] <nuboon2age_> wise_crypt: isn't the output saying it couldn't complete because mysql is running and tarek needs to manually stop it before dpkg can complete upgrade?
[08:11] <_jesse_> ericthehax: I dunno, I think pulseaudio is the default for most apps
[08:11] <prince_jammys> bouma: with great pain
[08:11] <wise_crypt> nuboon2age_:  i think so
[08:11] <greezmunkey> bouma: if at all
[08:11] <ericthehax> well zynaddsubfx mentions oss, the package says something about alsa, and i dont know if pulse is the problem
[08:11] <tarek> wise_crypt, http://pastebin.com/XVtwMgra
[08:12] <tarek> nuboon2age, http://pastebin.com/XVtwMgra
[08:12] <bouma> prince_jammys:  isnt there a lost an found dir ?> or is that just fro efsk fragments
[08:12] <_jesse_> ericthehax: hmm I see, yeah you could try setting it to asla if possible, I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar with the audio systems
[08:12] <tarek> nuboon2age, wise_crypt, sorry for bothering with this guys
[08:12] <_jesse_> or how they interact with zynaddsubfx in particular
[08:12] <wise_crypt> tarek: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[08:12] <ericthehax> how am i gonna set it to alsa? nothing seems to let me
[08:12] <greezmunkey> bouma: they wouldn't go to a lost/found if you told the system to delete them
[08:13] <crazy2k> I have an NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT. How do I know if it's using h264 acceleration? I'm using nvidia's drivers.

[08:13] <tarek> nuboon2age, wise_crypt, http://pastebin.com/rtc0PN6u
[08:13] <greezmunkey> bouma: can you recreate them from a back up?
[08:13] <_jesse_> ericthehax: no idea :p I'll install it real quick and see if anything jumps out at me
[08:13] <prince_jammys> bouma: if you are committed to recovering them, you should unmount the partition now. i have on occasion been able to recover stray text files using dd and context-grep.
[08:14] <ericthehax> something talls me unless i master my trade now, im not gonna be able to change the audio system anytime soon
[08:14] <TANK> so guys... I can't keep a web browser open. they all keep crashing. I think its an issue with flash. how do I remove a file with root permissions?
[08:14] <tarek> nuboon2age, wise_crypt, is there a way to completely remove that broken mysql package?
[08:14] <ericthehax> s/talls/tells
[08:15] <prince_jammys> bouma: i don't know methods of file recovery. maybe others here do. you'd definitely want to unmount the partition/device.
[08:15] <crazy2k> TANK: What should I look for?
[08:15] <ShapeShifter499> MorkBork: help................I was originally using ubuntu server to install but I ditched it for debian, it can't detect my ethernet connection
[08:15] <wise_crypt> tarek: follow the instruction about killling it which nuboon2age_  give you
[08:15] <ShapeShifter499> MorkBork: what do I do?
[08:15] <_jesse_> ericthehax: yeah you're right, seems to be using OSS specifically
[08:15] <_jesse_> I'm afraid I can't help you much further with such a problem though :-/
[08:15] <ShapeShifter499> oops wrong channel
[08:15] <TANK> crazy2k: what do you mean?
[08:15] <ShapeShifter499> *facepalm*
[08:15] <nuboon2age_> wise_crypt: tarek, actually i think it was prince_jammys who said sudo fuser -vki /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
[08:16] <ericthehax> shit never hit the fan before they made the audio system in ubuntu unchangeable
[08:16] <tripelb> Tank, make sure you dont have web browser parts running now
[08:16] <ericthehax> WHY did they even do that?
[08:16] <maco> ericthehax: watch your language
[08:16] <_jesse_> ericthehax: well it's the app that's doing that, not ubuntu :p
[08:16] <tarek> nuboon2age, wise_crypt, ok then?
[08:16] <ericthehax> ok then diarrhea hit the fan
[08:16] <wise_crypt> nuboon2age_: my bad
[08:16] <_jesse_> ericthehax: ubuntu is more than happy to let you use whatever sound system you like :)
[08:17] <tripelb> tank I think it's top that shows you what is happening now
[08:17] <ericthehax> _jesse_: not lucid apparently.
[08:17] <TANK> no firefox instances running
[08:17] <nuboon2age_> wise_crypt: :)
[08:17] <TANK> no chromium ones either
[08:17] <maco> ericthehax: its not unchangeable. you can turn off pulseaudio autospawn and add yourself to the audio group. streams might stop being mixed since thats kinda the point of having pulseaudio but hey, if you dont WANT the feature of being able to have a flash video open and hear notification sounds from pidgin, thats fine...
[08:17] <tripelb> what makes it die?
[08:17] <crazy2k> TANK: Sorry, thought you were answering my question.
[08:18] <TANK> crazy2k oh lol
[08:18] <tripelb> tank what happens when you launch it? (is there anything else running that competes?)
[08:18] <nuboon2age_> tarek: so what happened when you did that?
[08:18] <ericthehax> maco: nothing seems to support pulse so..... meh.
[08:18] <TANK> tripelb it launches, i might be able to load a page, then ill load another, then any open browser window, be it firefox or chromium will crash
[08:18] <smithh> is there any web based internal chat server in ubuntu
[08:18] <mneptok> TANK: do the browsers die without being asked to load Flash content? or do they die when Flash is encountered?
[08:18] <bouma> greeezmunkey; tyhe internet is the backup (like real men), and as it was on ntfs , and rsyned in linux then had the partition resised to 38gig and win7 installed over it.. i might just say good bye
[08:19] <tarek> nuboon2age, wise_crypt, it might have fixed something, can you please guys suggest a package to install?
[08:19] <TANK> the browsers also die when i attempt to access any preferences
[08:19] <Sc00t3r> Yo~. Sc00t3r is back.
[08:19] <tarek> nuboon2age, it killed the process i believe
[08:19] <maco> ericthehax: you have a funny definition of "nothing"!  so there's something in particular that doesnt support it and it happens to be something you need i guess. what is it? audacity? thats a common one... i know phonon supports it nowadays even (well it supported it for a long while, but now it supports it *well*)
[08:19] <tripelb> Tank, as a first step you might disable all add-ons.
[08:19] <TANK> how, crashes if I try
[08:19] <smithh> can anyone tell me that is there any web based internal chat server in ubuntu
[08:20] <Sc00t3r> tribpelb, I think he means he can't access -any- preference in the browser.
[08:20] <mneptok> TANK: try this command in a terminal "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-orig" (no quotes) and then launch Firefox and see what happens
[08:20] <nuboon2age_> tarek: well to get mysql you just need to stop the mysql that's running and THEN run the command that wise_crypt gave you.
[08:20] <tripelb> tank tank kill the preferences file completely. Not while the program is running. I had that.
[08:20] <Sc00t3r> TANK, have you tried installing Chromium browser? It's apparently a bit more stable than FireFox..
[08:20] <tripelb> tank I dont know where it is offhand.
[08:20] <TANK> sc00t3r, running both, both having same issue
[08:20] <TANK> i believe its a problem with flash
[08:21] <Sc00t3r> TANK, That's odd. They just crash when you try to access a prefernece?
[08:21] <TANK> or load a page
[08:21] <tarek> nuboon2age, i think mysql finally installed correctly
[08:21] <spaceman> TANK: try firefox -safe-mode in terminal
[08:21] <tripelb> tank I think you might want to reinstall flash after you kill preferences.
[08:21] <TANK> ive tried apt-get purge on em and re installed them, it just dont work
[08:21] <greezmunkey> bouma: yeah, that's a tough one. Sorry to hear it. There is a utility that can help recover deleted files, but it has to be running before the files are deleted to work - won't help you now. Google on 'get it I say file recovery'
[08:21] <tarek> nuboon2age, i think mysql finally installed correctly without the other commands
[08:21] <nuboon2age_> tarek: output?
[08:22] <tripelb> tank I heard you about remove and reinstall. That's interesting.
[08:22] <maco> ericthehax: a good command to know about for the few apps that remain incompatible with pulse is "pasuspender"
[08:22] <a5h15h> while trying to launch gvim from terminal i get this errors...** (gvim:2830): CRITICAL **: gtk_form_set_static_gravity: assertion `static_gravity_supported' failed...
[08:22] <TANK> bus error, is that hardware?
[08:22] <Sc00t3r> TANK, have you tried running sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ti get Flash working?
[08:22] <a5h15h> how to fix this?
[08:22] <_jesse_> a5h15h: I get those too, I think it's an open bug, doesn't stop you from using it though
[08:22] <tripelb> tank, will ff run without flash?
[08:22] <nuboon2age_> tarek: could you pastebin the output again?
[08:23] <Sc00t3r> tripelb, FireFox comes without Flash, so yes.
[08:23] <tarek> nuboon2age, because i just installed another program and everything went flawlessss no errooorrr
[08:23] <ericthehax> ... i see not what pasuspender does, but the name implies it suspends pulseaudio
[08:23] <mneptok> ericthehax: no, that app holds up your Dad's pants.
[08:23] <tripelb> tank my chrome flash fails every so often.  then ff flash works. Sc00t3r - I was asking him if it crashes when he uses a FF without flash installed.
[08:24] <Sc00t3r> ericthehax, By the name, I would guess it suspends Pulseaudio?
[08:24] <tarek> nuboon2age, ''sudo fuser -vki /var/cache/debconf/config.dat''   this command seemed to be the key
[08:24] <tripelb> bbs
[08:24] <a5h15h> _jesse_, there's a fix for it..but dont know how to apply it...http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.257
[08:24] <TANK> again, when I try to go into firefox safemode, i get a bus error
[08:24] <greezmunkey> mneptok: heh
[08:24] <_jesse_> a5h15h: here's the ticket https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/402188
[08:24] <mneptok> TANK: try this command in a terminal "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-orig" (no quotes) and then launch Firefox and see what happens
[08:24] <Sc00t3r> tripelb, It is odd that it is crashing in the first place... Wonder if he's missing some critical packages?
[08:24] <TANK> mneptok: what exactly does that do?
[08:25] <_jesse_> a5h15h: you'd need to download the source and apply the patch, does it really bother you that much :p that warning doesn't kill the program
[08:25] <TANK> sc00t3r, how would I be, its a fresh install
[08:25] <Sc00t3r> TANK, What are you running?
[08:25] <tarek> nuboon2age, http://pastebin.com/ZNNUNfZJ
[08:25] <raider__> Are there any c# channels ?
[08:25] <_jesse_> a5h15h: it's just a warning
[08:25] <mneptok> TANK: moves your prefs and plugins aside for the moment.
[08:25] <TANK> ubuntu 10.04
[08:25] <Sc00t3r> TANK, 64 bit or 32 bit?
[08:25] <P67> IGNORE * +ALL -MSG
[08:25] <P67> doh :(
[08:26] <vlt> raider__: #c-sharp, I think
[08:26] <greezmunkey> TANK: it will force FF to run with a blank (default) profile
[08:26] <Sc00t3r> TANK, Did you cancel the downloads for the extra packages? Apparently there are some nice files in there that you don't want to skip downloading. Also, try running the update manager. Might help, you never know.
[08:26] <Firstgear> Sapi 5 TTS works great on ubuntu with wine.
[08:26] <histo> raider__: yes
[08:26] <TANK> 64 bit
[08:26] <ubuntu_> how can i share my wired connection over wireless
[08:26] <ericthehax> it still wont give me effects
[08:26] <histo> raider__: /j #c#
[08:27] <ericthehax> oh crap i just ran it in command line and found the problem: it just wants some JACK
[08:27] <histo> !ics | ubuntu_
[08:27] <raider__> histo, vlt -thanks
[08:27] <nuboon2age_> tarek: that command made sure no other instance of dpkg was running.
[08:27] <tarek> nuboon2age, wise_crypt, thank you for your time guys, you are doing a great job in this forum
[08:27] <TANK> update manager is uptodate
[08:27] <tarek> nuboon2age, ver y effective command
[08:27] <a5h15h> _jesse_, well then... i'll get used to it...
[08:27] <wise_crypt> tarek: no problem
[08:27] <tarek> nuboon2age, im saving it :)
[08:27] <greezmunkey> ubuntu_: There are several ways to do Internet Connection Sharing (network connection sharing) Firestarter, Network Manager, or by hand. which every fits your system
[08:28] <Sc00t3r> TANK, Hmm... I'm almost at my end of ideas. I'm not sure what could be causing this now. I mean, I was running that OS yesterady. No problems.
[08:28] <nuboon2age_> tarek: if you want to complete the mysql update you just need to shut down the mysql that is running and then do the apt-get command again.
[08:28] <_jesse_> a5h15h: yeah :-/ I'm sure it'll get pushed soon, you can redirect stderr to /dev/null for now if you want
[08:28] <_jesse_> a5h15h: gvim 2> /dev/null
[08:28] <spaceman> TANK: delete all you preferences and add-ons and start again, delete .mozilla in home directory. Normally works when firefox screws up
[08:28] <_jesse_> if you hate the warnings *that* much
[08:29] <wildbat> is there any memory hacking/editing tools for game hacking like cheat engine in win?
[08:29] <a5h15h> _jesse_, k
[08:29] <tarek> nuboon2age, will do!
[08:29] <nuboon2age_> tarek: your welcome.
[08:29] <tarek> nuboon2age, mysql stop  should be ok right?
[08:30] <greezmunkey> tarek: sudo service mysql stop - perhaps
[08:31] <TANK> ls
[08:31] <tarek> geezmunkey, thanks
[08:32] <tripelb> tank do what spaceman says. that is what I was thinking of
[08:32] <tarek> GOODBY EVERYBODY!
[08:32] <TANK> kk
[08:32] <zipper> which application can i download n use to lock my folders??????????????????????????????/?~!!?!?!?
[08:33] <histo> zipper: lock them from other users?
[08:33] <P67> If you asked your question more proper, Without ridiculous and agitable excessive questionmarking you might find people to answer sooner
[08:33] <mneptok> TANK: FYI, if you do what spaceman says you lose all your bookmarks. the command i gave you avoids that.
[08:34] <histo> zipper: you can chmod the folder and not allow others to view it.
[08:34] <spaceman> TANK: he's right, but I assumed his command did not work
[08:34] <Zela> Would you need an antivirus for ubuntu such as avast?
[08:35] <mneptok> spaceman: moving the .mozilla directory has the exact same effect as deleting it, without losing data.
[08:35] <P67> Zela: no.
[08:35] <Zela> k
[08:35] <mneptok> Zela: you might. if you're the type of person that takes out "Asteroid Crashing Into My Dishwasher" insurance.
[08:35] <tripelb> lol mneptok
[08:36] <greezmunkey> mneptok: heh (again)

[08:37] <ubu234> kop:  I don't know, the system I want to debug is not near me, I will got to it this afternoon though
[08:38] <kop> ask the rest of these umm , intelligent nerds
[08:38] <nuboon2age_> tarek: sorry I wasn't paying attention.  I'm not familiar w/ mysql, but if stop is a command for it then yes, that would be appropriate.
[08:38] <CyberRat> add in your /etc/fstab   but maybe deny write to ntfs
[08:38] <ortsvorsteher> how can i ask my system which memory is installed ( means DDR Ram ore others ) ?
[08:39] <kop> ubu234, I had quite a time with 10.04 I'm convinced it and any and all that contributed to it hate me personally ... ;-)
[08:40] <iflema> ortsvorsteher in a terminal    sudo lshw -C memory
 Zela: you might. if you're the type of person that takes out "Asteroid Crashing Into My Dishwasher" insurance.  <---- huh?
[08:41] <greezmunkey> kop: like a mirror, if you stare at it with an angry face, it stares right back the same way...
[08:41] <P67> Zela: It's mneptok's humour : )
[08:41] <CyberCr33p> when the new UBUNTU image with the latest patches will released ?

[08:41] <valined> I have a dual boot XP/Linux system and now as the "admin" user I can see what NTFS volumes I can mount in the menu...without any extra line in fstab
[08:41] <kop> greezmunkey, the very point I was attempting to make
[08:41] <CyberCr33p> I mean the new .iso for the current version
[08:42] <valined> ...but if I log on as another desktop user, no new Locations available...I wonder how this works..
[08:42] <n3rd_dude> hi, I've a prob with ffmpeg..I can't seem to encode aac audio

[08:44] <kop> maybe I just hate purple ;-)

[09:13] <the_file> on ubuntu distro?.
[09:14] <the_file> if so can you tell me if u have low fps due to wine
[09:14] <Jordan_U> Juniksz: colinux will allow you to run a linux kernel, and thus any linux file system, within windows (and it's not using a virtual machine)
[09:14] <the_file> or does the graphic card allow for descent performace
[09:14] <wildbat> the_file, i heard it work quite good ~ check with #winhq
[09:15] <kohlrak> anyone know how i can get a program to startup at bootup without logging in?

[09:16] <Daijoubu> no one is there
[09:16] <Daijoubu> it's dead everywhere O_O
[09:16] <Juniksz> Jordan_U: The colinux is a software for WIn?
[09:16] <mneptok> Daijoubu: it's still not an appropriate question for this channel. we do not use, support, or encourage use of non-released versions.
[09:16] <Jordan_U> Juniksz: Yes, http://www.colinux.org/
[09:16] <SiDi> Hi, I'm looking for the name of the app/package used to configure proxys in Ubuntu, does anyone know it?
[09:17] <Daijoubu> :(
[09:17] <SiDi> Also, my nm-applet keeps disappearing upon boot, does anyone know how to solve that?
[09:18] <AdvoWork> i think ive got a problem with a mount, thats shared in my /home drive, if i go: cd /home and then ls it hangs, but also df -h hangs too, i know the dir exists, but doing cd /home/dir just does nothing, any suggestions please
[09:18] <Juniksz> Jordan_U: Thank you, i'll try it
[09:19] <Jordan_U> Juniksz: You're welcome.
[09:19] <ylmfos> thank you
[09:19] <ylmfos> where are you?
[09:20] <SiDi> !proxy
[09:20] <ylmfos> proxy? what's mean?
[09:21] <wildbat> is there any memory hacking/editing tools for game hacking like cheat engine in win?
[09:21] <SiDi> Nothing, just checking if ubottu can help me, but it can't
[09:21] <SiDi> Does anyone know the name of the application under Apps -> Preferences -> Proxy/Network (whatever it's called?). I'm not on GNOME and i need this app, and i can't seem to find it...
[09:21] <anirvana> I am getting a terrible error :( "Kernel :panic-not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block[8,5]" Please help!
[09:22] <AdvoWork> my /etc/fstab shows: INTERNALIP:/mnt/Data/BACKUPS/   /home/new_backups   nfs   and i think thats the dir causing a prob, if i goto /home/new_backups it dies... yet if i goto the internal location, thats fine, whats the best thing to do, unmount and remount?
[09:22] <anirvana> I can't even start my ubuntu now!
[09:22] <wise_crypt> SiDi : please be more verbose about your question nm-aplet disapearing and then what ?
[09:22] <ylmfos> I am not suitable for LINUX
[09:22] <SiDi> wise_crypt: it doesn't disappear, it just never shows. nm-applet does run, the icon doesn't show
[09:23] <wise_crypt> SiDi : what desktop manager
[09:23] <SiDi> wise_crypt: seems to happen in fedora for a missing icon problem, or because of problems with policykit and NetworkManagerDispatcher, and i can't find anything else relevant

[09:25] <AhmedBH> Hello, Why do i get notifications on evolution mail some times and some times not ? i even deleted the configuration folder and added everything again deleted panel and created new panel with applets still same, WHY ?
[09:25] <tliebeck> Any of you had much in the way of problems swapping a motherboard and keeping the same install?  10.04 here.  Reformat is not that big of a deal, I even keep /home on a separate partition so it's almost trivial.
[09:26] <ylmfos> How can I use the IE7?
[09:26] <damian> i think the real question is, why would you want to use IE7? :P
[09:26] <AhmedBH> ylmfos: under Wine ?

[09:26] <AhmedBH> damian: yeah :P

[09:41] <unop> aTurtle, shortcuts ?
[09:41] <unop> or whatever it is gnome uses
[09:42] <aTurtle> unop: Yes. I tried ln -s but that does not have the same effect as whatever Gnome had offered natively.
[09:42] <unop> aTurtle, so why not use what gnome offers natively?
[09:43] <ctmnz> hello all
[09:44] <ctmnz> Why ubuntu 64 bits is not recommended for daily usage ?
[09:44] <aTurtle> unop: Because I can't find it. Or I have been looking in wrong places.
[09:44] <aTurtle> ctmnz: That's just a poor recommendation on the website and the description phrase need to be changed immediately.
[09:45] <gothenburg> Good morning
[09:45] <gothenburg> aTurtle: ^^
[09:46] <unop> aTurtle, if i remember right, right click on the desktop, "create launcher" ... your launcher will be something like 'nautilus ~' (for the homedir) and 'nautilus ~/.local/share/Trash' (for Trash)
[09:46] <Inferus> does playonlinux really get photoshop cs4 and adobe dreamweaver cs4 all working?
[09:46] <gothenburg> ctmnz: because before the programs to 64 bit was..

[09:47] <gothenburg> a5h15h: xchat?
[09:48] <wildbat> is there any memory hacking/editing tools for like cheat engine in win?
[09:48] <a5h15h> gothenburg, holy....sorry...I meant xchat
[09:48] <Inferus> does playonlinux really get photoshop cs4 and adobe dreamweaver cs4 all working?
[09:48] <aTurtle> unop: That would work too, but what about the icon? Clearly this is a working method but it's not same. I'm trying to toggle back on "My Computer, chris's home, and Trash" -- If I found out how, I'll tell you.
[09:48] <gothenburg> ash2dust: IRC is the protocoll
[09:49] <unop> aTurtle, you can customize the icon too - it's somewhere in the launcher's properties
[09:49] <gothenburg> a5h15h: you should use synaptic (the program installer) to do this
[09:49] <a5h15h> gothenburg, I said sorry..
[09:49] <aTurtle> pedronveloso: The fast way is to reset your panels, I guess.  You can right-click and add indicator-something to the panel.

[09:50] <gothenburg> a5h15h: synaptic should upgrade all program
[09:50] <a5h15h> gothenburg, k
[09:50] <aTurtle> mustafa_: compizconfig-settings-manager
[09:50] <gothenburg> a5h15h: I am not a fan of synaptic and always use the terminal programs
[09:50] <aTurtle> unop: Yes. I acknowledge that -- It's not what I'm looking for. ;)
[09:50] <a5h15h> gothenburg, why is it so..
[09:50] <aTurtle> unop: What DE are you using?
[09:51] <wise_crypt> aTurtle: http://gnometux.blogspot.com/
[09:51] <pedronveloso> ubottu: thanks, that did the trick ;)
[09:51] <unop> aTurtle,  edit these gconf keys then  /apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible  and  /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible
[09:51] <gothenburg> a5h15h: because it is much faster to write it in the terminal than click on 200 checkboxes
[09:51] <pedronveloso> lol
[09:51] <a5h15h> gothenburg, then how does one do it with the terminal?
[09:51] <unop> aTurtle, I don't have a DE - I use fluxbox as the window manager and a few bits from gnome and a few from kde
[09:52] <gothenburg> a5h15h: to update the database write: sudo aptitude update
[09:52] <MrWise> how do I launch openbox? running an ubuntu server install, I've installed xorg and openbox

[09:52] <mustafa_> aTurtle,  thank you.

[09:54] <aTurtle> wise_crypt, unop: Yup! That was it! The correct method! :)
[09:54] <unop> wereHamster,  dpkg -l
[09:54] <a5h15h> gothenburg, k
[09:54] <wise_crypt> gothenburg: eh ? en please
[09:54] <wereHamster> unop: will that work even if I installed the pacakges with apt-get?
[09:55] <aTurtle> !clone | wereHamster
[09:55] <unop> wereHamster, apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, dselect all use dpkg to track dependencies - so yes
[09:55] <wereHamster> aTurtle: cool, thanks :)

[10:01] <wereHamster> I heard I shouldn't use apt-get and aptitude at the same time. Is that true?
[10:02] <psycho_oreos> from who?
[10:02] <wise_crypt> wereHamster: thats true in maverick aptitude will be gone but will remain in repos

[10:19] <iceroot> KnightStalker: depending what space is (ram or hdd) and what you want
[10:19] <SandGorgon> ravibn, ahh.. then your machine is not 64-bit. you need to install the 32-bit version
[10:19] <ravibn> sanGorgon : but never really got it boot now I am trying to boot thru virtual machine
[10:19] <KnightStalker> iceroot:HDD is 3 GB and ram is 2gb

[10:20] <KnightStalker> oh k
[10:20] <fulldarkness> how to make a persistent usb backtrack in terminal?
[10:20] <iceroot> KnightStalker: without a gui its no problem, with a gui maybe you have to remove some programs
[10:21] <SandGorgon> ravibn, hmm.. so we are missing two different situations here - are you trying the LiveCD on ur laptop or on a virtual machine (which virtual machine software ?)
[10:21] <kelvinella> sdk1 or sdk ??
[10:21] <SirMoo> I doubt Microsoft will get that annoyed with Dell. I mean, they're not advertising Ubuntu on the front page. :/
[10:21] <unop> !backtrack | fulldarkness

[10:22] <kelvinella> i am 99% sure it is right 16.1GB usb stick
[10:22] <llutz> kelvinella: 100% would be better ;)
[10:22] <ravibn> SandGorgon : it is a Intel core i7 QM running on 57 chipset so it is a 64 bit machine. Initially I tried booting from the ISO image I burnt to the CD but was not successful but now I am trying to boot directly thru the ISO image thru a MS virtual PC

[10:24] <Inferus> anyone got photoshop cs4 working on playonlinux?
[10:24] <piko> Hello all, I am using ubuntu 10.04 and I noticed important slow down in gnome/metacity - it takes me quite a long time (sometimes more than 10 seconds to switch the workspaces, sometimes it is okay). Despite that swap is on zero (but present), CPU is less than 10%. Are there any performance problems with current ubuntu?
[10:24] <kelvinella> why some distro make img file that is 754MB??
[10:24] <SandGorgon> ravibn, for booting as a virtual machine, my advice is to use Virtualbox for windows rather than Virtual PC - you need to enable EM64 extensions in your virtual PC otherwise. as an aside, what was the error you got when you tried it on your laptop itself ?
[10:24] <kelvinella> how do u suppose to find a CD that can burn 754MB?
[10:24] <unop> kelvinella, some CD-ROMs allow for a few meg extra
[10:24] <kelvinella> the largest i have is 733MB
[10:24] <kelvinella> i tries overburn setting but fail
[10:25] <ravibn> SandGorgon: It showed up a blank screen without any error msg
[10:25] <kelvinella> let me take a shower first
[10:26] <llutz> kelvinella: burn it to dvd
[10:26] <ravibn> SandGorgon : this machine went died after a while. Can you tell me the difference betwn x86-64 and i686 cpu ?
[10:27] <gothenburg> You are an idiot!
[10:27] <ravibn> SandGorgon : Ok! I will try the virtualbox also
[10:27] <SandGorgon> ravibn, x86-64 is 64-bit and i686 is 32-bit - your i7 is a 64-bit system
[10:28] <Buchi> ravibn -> have you tried wikipedia? :)
[10:28] <SandGorgon> ravibn, another bit of suggestion is to use Ubuntu 64-bit 9.10 install CD - I have had issues with 10.04 where I had to disable A: (floppy device) in bios before it could boot
[10:29] <ravibn> SandGorgon : ok! I will give a try for that version too
[10:30] <piko> gothenburg, who from us is an idiot?
[10:30] <JasonWoof> ShackleBan: I'm assuming part of the reason dell is shipping ubuntu is to prove to M$ that they can sell computers without windows. And then hopefully negotiate for a better price on windows
[10:31] <ShackleBan> I hope so
[10:31] <ShackleBan> I don't like Dell machines anyway

[10:32] <Xgates> can someone please paste at pastebin for me: /etc/rsyslog.d/20-ufw.conf
[10:32] <thune3> steveccc: best bet is to learn smartctl command from command line
[10:32] <sno> steveccc: smartmontools / smartctl or if you are using lucid, it has a gui for smartmontools installed
[10:32] <gothenburg> piko: Reinfeldt
[10:33] <piko> oh, ...
[10:34] <steveccc> sno: is it reliable - ie if it says disk fine - is this normally true - i know on a mac smart reports good even if the disk is grating itself to death
[10:34] <red2kic> steveccc: You should have it installed already. Look in System --> Administration --> Disk Utility
[10:35] <sno> steveccc: if the extended test says everything is ok, then yes it should be fine, that is no excuse not to have tested working backups however
[10:35] <piko> steveccc, what incorrectly working sw did you experience?

[10:36] <piko> pip, yes, but forget about hibernation
[10:36] <erUSUL> pip: yes
[10:37] <Xgates> can someone please be kind and paste at pastebin for me: /etc/rsyslog.d/20-ufw.conf
[10:37] <steveccc> sno: thanks - i understand backups etc - just wanted to test a drive on a piece of smart software i trust - thanks for your help
[10:37] <unop> pip, errm, best not to - especially when you hibernate, etc.  and definitely not while the other is running.
[10:38] <sno> yw steveccc
[10:38] <ShackleBan> Pip boy :D
[10:38] <gothenburg> a5h15h: but it is running?
[10:38] <pip> pike erUSUL unop But the problem is that doens't work when I tried to share a swap partition with another linux distribution, when I boot that linux distribution, the swap doesn't get turned on
[10:38] <erUSUL> pip: the hybernation (suspend to disk) case is different, unop has a good point

[10:39]  * bintut waves
[10:39] <erUSUL> pip: did you defined the swap apartition in that distro's fstab file?
[10:39] <pip> Because it can't be recognized as a swap partition from the other linxu
[10:39] <bintut> how to control upstart especially those services that i don't want to start during bootup?
[10:39] <pip> erUSUL, yes, I did
[10:39] <unop> pip, so how do you conclude this?
[10:39] <bintut> does my initscript from other distribution work on ubuntu lucid?
[10:40] <erUSUL> pip: do you get any error if you do « swapon -a » in that other distro ?
[10:40] <SCD> Hey, could anyone give me some wireless help? I'm using Sweex LW057 with Ubuntu 10.04 and it wont work D:
[10:40] <unop> !boot > bintut
[10:40] <pip> unop, I guess the Ubuntu encrypted that swap partition as its private one and doesn't want to share with others
[10:40] <a5h15h> gothenburg, there a fix for it...http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.257..how should i apply it>
[10:40] <red2kic> SCD: I don't even know what Sweex LW057 is? Is it a wireless chair?
[10:40] <erUSUL> SCD: Sweex LW057 does not help ... is usb or pci ? what chip does it have inside? ( lspci or lsusb should tell you)
[10:40] <SCD> Yep red2kic
[10:41] <SCD> pci card
[10:41] <G_G> i have ubuntu installed on my one harddrive
[10:41] <unop> pip, hmm, could possibly be the reason.
[10:41] <SCD> Chipset is Marvell 88W8335 erUSUL
[10:41] <pip> :D
[10:41] <pip> But I'm not sure
[10:42] <G_G> is there anyway i can boot into ubuntu using Virtual PC?
[10:42] <unop> pip, must you really share this partition though?? can't you set another one up? or even a swap file if that's not possible?
[10:42] <gothenburg> :D
[10:42] <pip> unop, I don't want to get another swap file since I have a swap out there
[10:42] <gothenburg> a5h15h: don't know
[10:42] <Xgates> come on guys this isn't a tall order real simple, would someone please copy and past their /etc/rsyslog.d/20-ufw.conf file and put it up on pastebin for me?
[10:42] <a5h15h> gothenburg, k
[10:43] <bintut> unop: do you mean that i can still manage the services using update-rc.d ?
[10:43] <a5h15h> i've installed gvim...while running it from terminal i get errors..** (gvim:3989): CRITICAL **: gtk_form_set_static_gravity: assertion `static_gravity_supported' failed..
[10:43] <bintut> services using upstart?
[10:43] <pip> /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0
[10:43] <pip> Is this a crypted swap ?
[10:43] <a5h15h> there's a fix for it...http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.257..how should i apply it?
[10:43] <pip> encrypted ?
[10:43] <unop> bintut, i should definitely hope so
[10:43] <pip> Why does ubuntu encrypt a swap partition ?
[10:44] <bintut> unop: ok
[10:44] <unop> pip, so that someone doesn't go through your swapped pages and discover your credit card details
[10:45] <erUSUL> SCD: is there a "wlan0" iface when you do « iwconfig » in a terminal ?
[10:45] <pip> unop, how to make it uncrypted ?
[10:45] <unop> pip, errm, good question - I don't know
[10:45] <SCD> Nope erUSUL, also would this be easier in PM?
[10:46] <erUSUL> !pm
[10:46] <Mrokii> hello. this is kind of off-topic, but does anybody know if there is an open-source app that allows synchronization of a Nokia phone (6300 in my case) and Ubuntu? Or, alternatively, a url where I can find information about the protocol such a phone uses?
[10:46] <StaRetji> Need help removing top panel/taskbar in Ubuntu Netbook Luc. I've used gconf-editor and thicked auto-hide but it still don't hide. Help appreciated ;) Thx folks
[10:46] <erUSUL> SCD: do « sudo modprobe libertas » and check again « iwconfig » output
[10:46] <unop> pip, but why you would want to leave it unencrypted, i don't know. I mean, if you go through the hassle of setting everything else encrypted ..
[10:46] <Mrokii> StaRetji:  Shouldn't that option be available if you right-click on the panel itself?
[10:47] <StaRetji> Mrokii: nope
[10:47] <SCD> Still nothing erUSUL
[10:47] <StaRetji> Mrokii: there is no option for that
[10:47] <pip> /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: block special
[10:47] <pip> What's this ?
[10:47] <erUSUL> SCD: « dmesg | tail -n25 » and paste the output in a pastebin please
[10:47] <erUSUL> !paste
[10:47] <Mrokii> StaRetji:  Okay, just thought it would be the same as on the regular Ubuntu-desktop
[10:47] <G_G> I have installed Ubuntu onto one of my harddrives, is there anyway i can setup VirtualPC to run that installation(off that harddrive) and not having to run a fresh installation?
[10:48] <StaRetji> Mrokii: it's not, to bad though. thx for effort dude
[10:48] <Mrokii> StaRetji:  np
[10:48] <StaRetji> Is there ubuntu netbook channel?
[10:48] <SCD> http://paste.ubuntu.com/450025/ erUSUL
[10:48] <pip> blkid doens't give out any output
[10:49] <SCD> http://paste.ubuntu.com/450024/ Sorry wrong link first time erUSUL
[10:49] <erUSUL> SCD: ok :)
[10:49] <piko> pip, I dod not follow the whole chat, but what should be usually sufficient for linux distro is 1) to build a swap partition by mkswap, 2) set it in /etc/fstab, 3) label partition by fdisk as linux partition
[10:49] <StaRetji> it is pretty annoying, I have small screen I really need to hide or remove top panel
[10:50] <erUSUL> SCD: you tried installing ndiswrapper ?
[10:50] <SCD> As far as I know it is installed erUSUL
[10:50] <SCD> I have the Windows Wireless Drivers gui thing
[10:50] <SCD> Which doesn't work with the windows drivers for the card
[10:52] <erUSUL> SCD: well; libertas is the linux driver for that card (no ndis) so if you've gone the ndis route you wont be using.
[10:52] <erUSUL> it*
[10:52] <pip> piko,  I just want to share the swap partition with another linux distribution
[10:53] <SCD> So how do I fix it erUSUL? :/
[10:53] <erUSUL> SCD: for ndis you need the windows *.inf file
[10:53] <unop> pip, are you starved of disk space or something?
[10:53] <pip> unop, yes
[10:53] <pip> I only have 30G of disk
[10:53] <SCD> It's what I've used erUSUL and it says "Cannot see if hardware is present"
[10:56] <unop> pip, my guess is to change the swap entry from /etc/fstab -- so boot up in "recovery mode", do a ''swapoff -a'', then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/your_swap_device   and then create the swap entry in /etc/fstab
[10:56] <unop> pip, but i suspect this could bork something
[10:56] <StaRetji> lol, is it me and my weird ubuntu problems, but whenever I come here for help nobody knows what to do :P
[10:57] <tester_> slap
[10:57]  * StaRetji facepalms
[10:57] <pip> unop, sounds so ...... frustrating
[10:58] <erUSUL> SCD: do not have expereince with ndiswrapper... maybe oficial docs ?
[10:58] <erUSUL> !ndiswapper
[10:58] <unop> pip, it's worth a try .. just make a backup of your /etc/fstab before going ahead with this
[10:58] <erUSUL> !ndiswrapper
[10:58] <StaRetji> Can't imagine this beeing a problem :

[11:01] <erUSUL> a5h15h: either on the upstream project website or via apt-get source if yu have the deb-src repositories enabled
[11:01] <erUSUL> SCD: maybe you are using the worng *.inf ?

[11:05] <Slyboots> Im wondering, is anyon aware of a web absed configuration program (like webmin) but.. better :P
[11:05] <a5h15h> erUSUL, i've installed gvim...while running it from terminal i get errors..** (gvim:3989): CRITICAL **: gtk_form_set_static_gravity: assertion `static_gravity_supported' failed..

[11:06] <smithh> can anyone tell me i want to deploy a chat server in lan which is web based
[11:06] <erUSUL> a5h15h: you should make a bug report agains vim in launchpad so it is fixed for you and others
[11:06] <erUSUL> !ebox | Slyboots
[11:07] <Slyboots> ubottu: Cheers
[11:07] <Slyboots> Oheh, I mean erUSUL
[11:07] <Yoavk> Ubuntu 10.04: Is there a way to edit the login screen via glade? (I want to add a news/message widget...)
[11:08] <a5h15h> erUSUL, there's already a fix for it..http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.257...but I've got no idea how to apply the patch?
[11:09] <unop> a5h15h, http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.257 contains the patch, strip out the cruft and save the patch somewhere.  make a temporary directory in which you get the source for vim with '' apt-get source vim-gnome '' .. apply the patch with ''patch < /path/to/this.patch'' .. if that succeeds, issue ''apt-get build vim-gnome'' and then install the .deb files created with '' sudo dpkg -i *.deb''
[11:09] <unop> !patch | a5h15h
[11:13] <unop> a5h15h, are you on karmic?
[11:13] <Slyboots> Hm, silly question but if I add a launchpad PPA.. how do I remove it?
[11:13] <a5h15h> unop, yeah
[11:14] <unop> a5h15h, these "errors" are not fatal, are they?
[11:16] <unop> a5h15h, this seems fixed in version 2:7.2.330-1ubuntu1 (lucid) -- so it's probably easier if you just backport vim for karmic

[11:18] <martez89> hey, how can i make the chromium bookmark bar font smaller?
[11:18] <Slyboots> Oh Im on ubuntu-server
[11:18] <SolomonKane> martez89: you'd need to hack the source and recompile, I would assume.
[11:18] <bazhang> Slyboots, then edit the /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:19] <Slyboots> Hmm
[11:19] <SolomonKane> martez89: you can try using ctrl+shift+b to hide the bookmarks, and do the same to make them return.  Why display them when you dont need them?
[11:19] <thune3> Slyboots: or remove files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[11:19] <Slyboots> I dont see it though, thats the problem
[11:20] <bazhang> Slyboots, once that is edited, then sudo apt-get update; you can edit by commenting out the repos with a # in front of the ones you wish out
[11:20] <Slyboots> I added teh ppa for ebox.. I cant see it in apt/sources
[11:20] <geirha> Slyboots: It's likely in a separate file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[11:21] <Slyboots> Right, got it :)
[11:21] <Slyboots> Cheers :)
[11:21] <martez89> SolomonKane: I put all my bookmarks in folders on the bookmark bar. by using ctrl+shift+b it takes a lot longer to browse them

[11:27] <AdvoWork> how can i tell if my syslog service is running?
[11:28] <SmokeyD> hey everyone, on my ubuntu machine, how can I make sure that a file on a FAT volume (usb memory stick) is marked as hidden for windows?
[11:28] <unop> AdvoWork,  pgrep syslog && echo "yay, it runs."
[11:29] <LuckySMack> i have an interesting issue, im wondering if anyone could shed some light on. I have 2 sites that are live. On both it seems that I am unable to log into them. In any browser i used i could not login. or if i did it would go to my user account then say access denied (not logged in). Giving my user/pass to a friend, they were able to log in.even using their user/pass. On my end, nothing. BUT, when i log into windows (was using ubuntu 9.10) I
[11:29] <LuckySMack> can log in perfectly fine. so im not sure what could be causing that issue.
[11:29] <LuckySMack> ive cleared cache many times, and im not using a proxy. I dont know what could cause this sort of problem
[11:30] <geirha> AdvoWork: sudo service sysklogd status && echo running || echo not running
[11:30] <AdvoWork> gives: sudo: service: command not found
[11:30] <AdvoWork> not running
[11:30] <AdvoWork> can i start it easily enough?
[11:31] <geirha> AdvoWork: Ah, service is new in 9.10 iirc. sudo /etc/init.d/sysklogd status  on older releases
[11:31] <kelvinella> hi anyone have tried the ubuntu moblin remix?
[11:31] <xae8koo> Where is the apache root?

[11:32] <erUSUL> xae8koo: /var/www/ ?
[11:33] <gianni> hi
[11:33] <Pelobest_ita> hi

[11:33] <geirha> !italian | gianni
[11:33] <llutz> !it
[11:34] <AdvoWork> geirha, that just gives:  * Usage: /etc/init.d/sysklogd {start|stop|reload|restart|force-reload|reload-or-restart}
[11:35] <geirha> AdvoWork: Hm. Then it doesn't have a way to report status on your system. (It does in 9.10). You'll have to use pgrep as unop described.
[11:36] <AdvoWork> geirha, tried: pgrep sysklogd && echo "yay, it runs."   gave nothing
[11:36] <jimi_> anyone here know how to set max output above 100% in alsamixer?
[11:38] <geirha> AdvoWork: The actual daemon is not named sysklogd. Try pgrep syslog
[11:38] <unop> AdvoWork, did you mean syslogd ?
[11:39] <AdvoWork> pgrep syslog && echo "yay, it runs."  still gives nothing, as does syslogd
[11:39] <unop> AdvoWork, strange
[11:40] <AdvoWork> unop, very :s
[11:40] <unop> AdvoWork,  have a look through ps aux?
[11:41] <unop> though that's unlikely to show any different
[11:41] <unop> AdvoWork, maybe the service has been stopped?
[11:41] <sidney> will apt-get install opera or do I need to do something special like edit the source list
[11:41] <unop> !opera | sidney
[11:41] <jimi_> Using alsamixer, how can i set the max output above 100% like you can in pulsaudio controller?
[11:43] <unop> jimi_, don't think that's possible
[11:43] <jimi_> unop, so i have to go back to pulseaudio?
[11:45] <AdvoWork> unop, dont think its running, tried ps aux.. can i just start it somehow?
[11:45] <mmfb> I'm trying to remember the command used in terminal to open up a folder. I remember it started with "nau" i believe
[11:45] <unop> jimi_, I guess - there might be some other util that might be able to do this - i know vlc can do this ..

[11:49] <unop> AdvoWork, it's the right way to manipulate services
[11:49] <unop> AdvoWork, or rather, a better way
[11:49] <blockcold> yes indus
[11:49] <indus> blockcold, there are a different packages , dovecot-imapd or dovecot-pop3d
[11:49] <powerpanda> -/bin/cp ./HandBrakeCLI /usr/local/bin/HandBrakeCLI
[11:49] <indus> blockcold, install from synaptic then, its easy

[11:50] <indus> blockcold, that will be installed anyway, install the main package , either dovecot-imapd or pop3d

[11:51] <powerpanda> any suggestions?

[11:51] <indus> blockcold, also dovecot-postfix for mail
[11:51] <unop> AdvoWork, well, that's what invoke-rc.d does behind the scenes anyway, but yea -- it's also a cross-distro way of manipulating services.
[11:51] <AdvoWork> unop, ahh ok, useful to know
[11:51] <temp> I seem to have messed up some of the files in dev would reinstalling help?
[11:52] <bdancer> guy please give me some time )) please share the patch =)
[11:52] <unop> temp, errm, depends on which files and how.. a restart might be all that's needed.
[11:52] <alakoo> Hi. I'm having problems with wine. I'm running CM 01/02 and I cannot see the cursor on my game window. The cursor does work, I can click at things but obviously I should also see the cursor to be able to play.
[11:52] <temp> I mean rinstalling all packages,
[11:52] <blockcold> ty indus all dovecot packages are install now
[11:52] <temp>  at least /dev/null as ssh complains it has premissions errors
[11:52] <indus> blockcold, so good luck , you setting up a mail servre ?
[11:53] <bdancer> ok i found it
[11:53] <bdancer> tnx anyway
[11:53] <blockcold> indus: yes :)
[11:53] <powerpanda> can any one help with ubuntu on PS3?
[11:53] <ahox> Hi is there a program that converts relative soft linkts to absolute ones? E.g. I have a file foo that links to ../bar with bar in the directory /home/ but I want it to link to /home/bar. Any ideas?
[11:53] <indus> blockcold, so postfix is full mail server which will automatically install both imap and pop packages, good luckkkkkk
[11:54] <unop> temp, is that the only entry that's being complained about?
[11:54] <blockcold> ty again indus
[11:54] <unop> ahox, what does   ''readlink -f foo''  give you?
[11:54] <indus> blockcold, most welcome
[11:55] <wise_crypt> !info ebox-webmail
[11:55] <wise_crypt> !info ebox-webmail hardy
[11:55] <temp> neww terminals seem to have problems opening shells
[11:55] <ahox> unop: /home/bar, so thats correct.
[11:56] <Ozzah> http://pastebin.com/xfHRAw6e - I can't seem to format my software raid. Any ideas?
[11:56] <unop> ahox, so you can do something like.  ln -s "$(readlink -f foo)" foo
[11:56] <tmas> Can anyone help me with the ubuntu installation process? My install sticks at 5% (Creating ext4 filesystem for/in partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb)).
[11:57] <unop> ahox, you might need to force the overwrite with -f.   ln -svf "$(readlink -f foo)" foo
[11:57] <ahox> unop: thanks, just doing that right now
[11:57] <unop> ahox, do you have many files you have to do this for.
[11:57] <unop> ?
[11:58] <tmas> ahox: have you tried man readlink?
[11:58] <ahox> and do you know a way to do it the other way round? decanonicalize the whole thing?
[11:58] <ahox> just doing that - one just have to know the right  command
[11:58] <ahox> about 100'000 files. But this should be easy enough with find and xargs
[11:59] <temp> only null  pts  shm
[11:59] <unop> ahox, you mean get relative paths from absolute ones?
[12:00] <temp> only null  pts  shm under dev ie ls /dec gives  null  pts  shm
[12:00] <shubbar> I'm getting an error on DevicePath for my Canon laser printer
[12:01] <shubbar> Since updating to lucid, it stoped working. I updated the driver, but still getting this error.
[12:01] <ahox> yes, my problem is that I have to move files within a directory which will change the hirarchy of some files. So my idea was to convert them first to absolute links and then when I am done back to relative ones. And I really need the relative ones
[12:02] <tmas> ahox: readlink -f foo will display file status in the format foo. At least that's what my man command says.
[12:03] <ahox> here it says it will simply display the canoicalized form
[12:03] <tmas> Can anyone help me with the ubuntu installation process? My install sticks at 5% (Creating ext4 filesystem for/in partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb)).
[12:03] <ahox> tmas, did you try an fsck?
[12:03] <thune3> tmas: i don't know the fix the problem in the installer problem. but, you could try formating your partitions from gparted in livecd ahead of time, and then installing to existing partitions . (i'm sure there is a better answer though)
[12:03] <unop> ahox,  perl -mFile::Spec -e 'print File::Spec->abs2rel( +shift )'  /path/to/your/file   # prints it relative to $PWD
[12:04] <tmas> ahox: I'm trying it right now.
[12:04] <unop> ahox, you can also give abs2rel another argument i.e. the basedir if you don't want it done based on $PWD -- see http://perldoc.perl.org/File/Spec/Unix.html
[12:04] <dannyla> d
[12:04] <ahox> unop: thnx a lot, that looks indeed perfect
[12:05] <tmas> ahox: How would I run fsck on sdb? I'm a n00b at this stuff.
[12:05] <bullgard4> How to determine what softlink to my file /lib/init/upstart-job?

[12:06] <its-me-again> hi all anyone know where i can get a copy of plain old grub 1
[12:06] <ahox> tmas: You can switch to a console by pressing Alt+F1 .... F7 with F7 your install
[12:06] <tmas> ahox: I got to the console fine, but I need to know the syntax for fsck. fsck sdb?
[12:07] <aTurtle> home: /dev/sda1/media/storage? Is that correct?
[12:08] <its-me-again> tmas: do you need to run fsck i have a quic solution for you
[12:08] <ahox> tmas: badblock /dev/sdb
[12:08] <tmas> its-me-again: yes
[12:08] <tmas> ahox: badblock?
[12:08] <its-me-again> ok boot from a live cd. open gparted
[12:08] <ahox> tmas it checks for badblocks on your disk
[12:08] <home> guys thank you I have just been informed that It needa a TAB between the mount point and the device I am rebooting to try this now thank you
[12:08] <Lounge> exit

[12:09] <its-me-again> tmas: did you get ^
[12:10] <tmas> its-me-again: I'm actually in the middle of the installation, using the command line.
[12:10] <its-me-again> o well to bad
[12:10] <tmas> ahox: I needed to run sudo badblocks /dev/sdb, not badblock /dev/sdb
[12:10] <its-me-again> i never needed to use comandline to install ubuntu
[12:11] <stercor> How do I create a command-line box?
[12:11] <tmas> ahox: and it just doesn't seem to do much.
[12:11] <stercor> I tried /usr/bin/bash
[12:11] <Apoth> hi
[12:11] <sidney> will someone take a look @ this please http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/GZEXf5Gh
[12:11] <Apoth> i need a bit help with bluez

[12:12] <Apoth> i want to connec o a device via rfcomm, and i want a bluetooth serial port
[12:12] <Sm3gal> i got a problum
[12:12] <stercor> Thanks, Aturtle.  I just had a brain freeze...
[12:12] <Sm3gal> i got a jailbroken ipod touch
[12:12] <Apoth> but i nont know how can i set the pair pin code
[12:13] <oblu_> lol
[12:13] <Sm3gal> but i cannot run itunes in linux
[12:13] <aTurtle> stercor: Uh-uh. gnome-terminal in case you wanted to know.
[12:13] <aTurtle> !ipod | Sm3gal
[12:13] <tmas> ahox: how long should this take?
[12:13] <Sm3gal> and most songs are bought from itunes and locked
[12:13] <tmas> ahox: I've got to go to school soon.
[12:14] <Sm3gal> therefore i need to run itunes in linux
[12:14] <ahox> depending on your hd size it can take up to a few hours
[12:14] <aTurtle> Sm3gal: Stop buying DRM-crippled songs on iTunes? :o
[12:14] <Sm3gal> and wine dont run it
[12:14] <Sm3gal> i kno
[12:14] <thune3> SmokeyD: http://planet.admon.org/howto/create-additional-loop-devices-in-linux/
[12:14] <aTurtle> Sm3gal: Running Windows in VirtualBox?
[12:14] <ahox> Sm3gal: the only way I see to get itunes running under linux is by running it in a VM running windows...
[12:14] <Sm3gal> ok
[12:15] <Sm3gal> i was hoping to avoid that
[12:15] <tmas> Sm3gal: iTunes has no DRM on anything you can get wiht iTunes plus. You shouldn't have a problem with iTunes songs that were bought less than a year ago.
[12:15] <seb_> hey everyone is the a program that can help uninstall unessaray driver
[12:15] <seb_> s

[12:20] <mfraz74> there's also peazip
[12:21] <anigma> so I just rebooted my laptop and found out that I don't have sound anymore.. what could be the problem?
[12:21] <Sm3gal> what u guys think about vector linux?
[12:21] <SolomonKane> I think most people dont use it for a reason.
[12:22] <Apoth> nobody can help to me?
[12:22] <bazhang> Sm3gal, its offtopic here
[12:22] <SolomonKane> anigma: sounds like you're using Ubuntu.
[12:22] <bazhang> Sm3gal, feel free to chat about it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:22] <Guest14936> anigma did you update?
[12:22] <mfraz74> apoth: what is the problem?
[12:22] <Apoth> bluetooth connection with rfcomm
[12:22] <anigma> Guest14936: yes, I did yesterday.
[12:22] <Apoth> i want toconnect to a bluetooth device
[12:22] <Apoth> but i can not set up the pin
[12:23] <Apoth> commandline
[12:23] <Apoth> :)
[12:23] <Guest14936> anigma already looked in the sound preferences?
[12:23] <Sonderblade> what package/codec do you need to play swf movies using mplayer?
[12:23] <Guest14936> left click at the sound indicator
[12:23] <anigma> Guest14936: looks there is no hardware
[12:24] <Guest14936> anigma do you use an external card?
[12:24] <Guest14936> PCI?
[12:24] <anigma> no
[12:24] <anigma> PCI I guess
[12:24] <anigma> if that's normal?
[12:24] <Guest14936> onboard is normal
[12:24] <Guest22284> 中文
[12:24] <anigma> then I guess it would be onboard
[12:24] <Apoth> mfraz74, any idea?
[12:25] <Guest14936> hhmmm
[12:25] <Guest14936> no devices at hardware?
[12:25] <anigma> no
[12:25] <Guest14936> reboot again perhaps?
[12:25] <mfraz74> apoth: why can't you use the GUI?
[12:26] <anigma> I just did... could shut it down for a few minutes and check again?
[12:26] <Guest14936> Otherwise its a software problem
[12:27] <Guest14936> report the problem at launchpad
[12:27] <Guest14936> it could be a bug
[12:27] <Apoth> mfraz74, i can add serial bluetooth interface via gui?
[12:28] <mfraz74> apoth: sorry, not sure
[12:28] <Guest14936> so, I can' t really help
[12:28] <Apoth> yes, thi is the problem
[12:28] <Apoth> i want to connect to a bluetooth barcode reader
[12:28] <bullgard4> unop: I cannot follow you. /etc/init.d/gdm is a symlink to /lib/init/upstart-job. But '~$ readlink /lib/init/upstart-job' does not produce any output.
[12:28] <Apoth> i have a python script to read codes via serial
[12:30] <bullgard4> Apoth: Please do not replace the interpunction with the Enter key.
[12:30] <thune3> bullgard4: what are you trying to do again?
[12:31] <sidney> http://www.go2linux.org/opera-from-repository-for-ubuntu-or-debian intresting but what repositorie should i use for 10.04?
[12:31] <bullgard4> thune3: I am not trying to do anything again. Sorry.
[12:32] <thune3> bullgard4: what are you trying to do, again?
[12:32] <seb_> thune3: hey whats up? i finally got wireless working and im on ubuntu 10.04
[12:33] <seb_> thune3: its seems to be working better with my configuration
[12:33] <bullgard4> thune3: I'd like to find out what softlink(s) point to /lib/init/upstart-job.
[12:34] <seb_> thune3: i just was wondering if you know any program that can help you clean your computer up of all the stuff you don't need
[12:34] <solow> Does anyone in hear know why ubuntu sucks at flash, and how i can fix this... it's driving me insane
[12:35] <sidney> seb_: try administration computer janitor
[12:35] <geirha> solow: Not much ubuntu can do about that. It's adobe you need to complain to.
[12:36] <aTurtle> Good riddances to Adobe Flash once HTML5 rolls in... just about everywhere.
[12:36] <solow> geirha,  I don't really care who's to blame. I want to know why it sucks, and how to fix it.
[12:36] <seb_> sidney: its asking me to remove linux-image-2.6.31-22-generic?? do you know what is sounds important?
[12:37] <krazykrivda> I'm using fstab to automount a partition that i use for all my documents.. but it is a "locked" folder.. what do I need to put in fstab so I can have access to modifying files in it
[12:37] <Guest14936> If you got 2.6.31-23 its fine
[12:37] <simar> Do anybody know that what is /dev/psaux ???
[12:37] <simar> actually i'm triaging a bug ..
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> simar:  a ps2 mouse/keyboard
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> krazykrivda:  depends on what filesystem it is
[12:38] <DJ_HaMsTa> http://techbuket.net/ubuntu-240.html
[12:38] <sidney> seb_:  not sure about that I just ran it a few times with no problem but be sure before hand
[12:38] <geirha> solow: It's closed source, so only adobe can fix it.
[12:38] <krazykrivda> Dr_Willis: it is a vfat filesystem
[12:38] <simar> Dr_Willis, thnaks for the information.
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> !vfat
[12:38] <solow> great
[12:38] <krazykrivda> I've used it in th epast.. but i had to resetup ubuntu and I know longer remmebr how I did it
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> krazykrivda:  install/run ntfs-config. or manually alter the fstab with the proper options
[12:39] <ohir> solow: its bad Adobe coding and long known bug. One of the reasons Apple banned Adobe flash from their products.
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> set the uid/gid is one way  to get write access
[12:39] <krazykrivda> Dr_Willis: yeah.. I'm trying to figure out what the proper options are
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> krazykrivda:  check the ntfs-3g docs -  its basically the same options
[12:40] <krazykrivda> Dr_Willis: ok reading now thank you
[12:41] <ohir> solow: actually AFAIR its called a feature, to let you have chance to at least listen to whole commercial

[12:48] <aTurtle> xshyamx: $ echo 'You shake, I shake, We all shake for ice cream!' > /var/log/shake.log
[12:49] <Guest14936> It should be there if it logged anything
[12:49] <solow> rofl. yeah, but a lot of stuff is still flash based. So I think i'll just head back to windows for now :p
[12:49] <xshyamx> aah yes..thats a much simpler solution aTurtle...thx :)
[12:49] <aTurtle> xshyamx: Indeed. &_&
[12:50] <xshyamx> but, just out of curiosity any idea where those echoes will be logged?
[12:51] <aTurtle> xshyamx: I'm guessing it won't be logged. echo - display a line of text. Scripts + packages generally have a log to output their echoes to.
[12:52] <aTurtle> xshyamx: I think you might see echoes (if you placed them) if you go in TTY1.

[13:02] <Phoebus> Gnome
[13:02] <thune3> Phoebus: i'm not a bash expert. you could just have your script do 'export WINEPREFIX="/home/ubuntu/WINISDPRO/"' and 'cd $WINEPREFIX' to make sure it is always in the right place
[13:02] <scribawf> OK ans to all in Gnome
[13:02] <hellwolf06[web]> ikonia, you know, toolbar, like google bar, yandex bar, yahoo,e.t.c

[13:05] <IdleOne> hellwolf06[web]: stop asking offtopic questions please
[13:05] <ikonia> scribawf: if you remove the kernels with the package manager, they will dissapear from the grub menu
[13:05] <hellwolf06[web]> I only asked whats better Opera and FF
[13:05] <LjL> !poll > hellwolf06[web]    (hellwolf06[web], see the private message from ubottu)
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> hellwolf06[web]:  try them both and decide for your own needs
[13:05] <tsubame> whats a good media center for gnu/linux?
[13:05] <ikonia> ok - guys, easy, he knows now
[13:05] <p1l0t> hellwolf06[web] they are not shouting, bot commands start with an exclamation point
[13:06] <xae8koo> ikonia: And my ubuntu has 10.0.0.4 woulnd't that cause a conflict? Because they're not on the same range?
[13:06] <scribawf> Dr_Willis:  I know this editing procedure is a little more complicated than the original Grub boot loader from earlier releases
[13:06] <p1l0t> !ubottu | hellwolf06[web]
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  depends on what you need.
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | scribawf
[13:06] <ikonia> xae8koo: not a conflict, but you may not be setup to route to that network
[13:06] <IdleOne> !polls > hellwolf06[web]
[13:06] <hellwolf06[web]> what is the best browser?
[13:06] <xae8koo> ikonia: What should I do then?
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> hellwolf06[web]:  try them  and decide for your own needs
[13:06] <ikonia> xae8koo: you'll have to setup routing to your vm from your host network
[13:07] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: oh hai. some media playing. audio and video + lirc support
[13:07] <mickster04> tsubame: i used xbmc
[13:07] <xae8koo> ikonia: On my router?
[13:07] <scribawf> Dr_Willis:  TU will check out the wiki, as you suggested and probably should've done that in 1st place, Tnx and also Ikonia
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  xbmc, moovidia, enna, and proberly some others
[13:07] <tsubame> hmm
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  boxee also may do whaat you want
[13:07] <ikonia> xae8koo: on a device that can process routing requests for you
[13:07] <vect> so discussing programs within a ubuntu install is offtopic?
[13:07] <hellwolf06[web]> U just simply hate me
[13:07] <Ozzah> I'm using the stock 10.04 ALSA drivers to run my SoundBlaster Live! Platinum. Any ideas on how I can get the optical output working?
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> vect:  polls are..
[13:08] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: stop now, please
[13:08] <IdleOne> !guidelines | hellwolf06[web]
[13:08] <xae8koo> ikonia: You are somewhat vauge...
[13:08] <hellwolf06[web]> ikonia,stop what?
[13:08] <vect> polls? looked like to me he was just asking an honest question
[13:08] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: check your private messages
[13:08] <LjL> vect: requesting support for them isn't (although depending on the program and the type of question, it might be better to try the dedicated channel)
[13:08] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: anyone thats really stable? i would need the idiot proof version
[13:08] <[Screamo]> After testing out an old radeon card, (that sucked horribly) 10.04 starts in low graphics mode, what gives
[13:08] <Guest14936> Dont feed the troll
[13:08] <vect> LjL: he was just asking which is better
[13:08] <LjL> vect: x vs y is a poll, and not appropriate for this channel
[13:08] <ikonia> xae8koo: no, I don't know your network or what kit we have, so what ever is processing your routing between networks is what needs to be altered
[13:08] <vect> feeding the troll?
[13:08] <LjL> vect: it's not a support question.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  all of them have issues.  I rarely use them. xbmc is proberly the most popular and well done.
[13:08] <DamienCassou> hi
[13:09] <vect> sure it is
[13:09] <mickster04> vect: he was asking which is better aka a poll
[13:09] <ikonia> vect: - it's not, those are the rules, accept them
[13:09] <IdleOne> vect: no it isn't. please drop it
[13:09] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: alright will have a look
[13:09] <bazhang> vect, lets move on please
[13:09] <vect> which works better in ubuntu, seems like a support question to me
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  theres many that are not in the package manager, (need ppa repos) and a few that are.  Moovidia is in the repos. enna and xbmc are not i recall
[13:09] <[Screamo]> Is there anyway to like clear and graphics settings?
[13:09] <[Screamo]> *any
[13:09] <vect> ridiculous, and you guys wonder why you get crapflooded
[13:09] <ikonia> [Screamo]: xorg is dynmamic so updates everytime you reboot
[13:09] <LjL> vect: he didn't ask which works better in ubuntu. that's a different question, and the answer would be "the one that's included by default", if one of the choices is.
[13:09] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: nah. enna is there. xbmc is missing
[13:10] <DamienCassou> mounting my camera always lead to a read-only file system. I tried to pass option rw to mount, without success. Can anyone help me?

[13:10] <[Screamo]> arg
[13:10] <vect> LjL: splitting hairs... step back, breath, stop being a dick
[13:10] <ikonia> do not click that website
[13:10] <vect> rude
[13:10] <hellwolf06[web]> ikonia, stop kicking everyone
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  enna is the next generation of 'geexbox' which is a mini-home theater/set top box theater-system type OS :) thats why i rember it
[13:10] <LjL> vect: yes, you were
[13:10] <hellwolf06[web]> !kick
[13:10] <ikonia> ok - enough now
[13:10] <IdleOne> vect: your language was unnacceptable
[13:10] <ikonia> please return to ubuntu support discussion
[13:10] <p1l0t> vect maybe you could ask a more specific question... I understand where you are coming from but try a different approach maybe
[13:10] <vect> idle: lol, Dick is a man's name
[13:11] <ikonia> vect: stop now, this is your last warning
[13:11] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: ill try that to get disappointed then, fellow archer
[13:11] <vect> you guys are kicking people with legit quesitons
[13:11] <hellwolf06[web]> ikonia, stop kicking everyone
[13:11] <BlueLaguna> Is there any way to prevent users from being able to shutdown / reboot by going to the logout menu?
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  i recall one of them let you brosws online comics and manga also.  a few i had a hard time to get working properly
[13:11] <vect> ikonia: or you going to abuse your ops like you've been doing all morning on me?
[13:11] <BlueLaguna> I want them to be able to log out, but not shutdown the computer
[13:11] <mickster04> lol
[13:11] <IdleOne> BACK TO SUPPORT QUESTIONS PLEASE
[13:11] <IdleOne> thank you
[13:11] <kryptyk> Hey all! I am having some issues with ALSA in Lucid - seems to outputting both the left and right channels to only the right speaker. Any ideas?
[13:11]  * [Screamo] Needs help
[13:11] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: so which one is easiest to get up and running?
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> BlueLaguna:  i think there is. but i cant rember where i saw those settings.
[13:11] <ikonia> [Screamo]: what's up ?
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  install the ones that are in the repo and try them out. thats the easy ones
[13:12] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: alright then
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  xbmc isent too hard to get going. but its interface is a little weirder in ways
[13:12] <tsubame> ah i see
[13:12] <less> I upgraded to Lucid and now I don't have a system tray in Gnome, which I need to access nm-applet for NetworkManager (wifi).
[13:13] <[Screamo]> Not entirely sure, it boots into low graphics mode, altho it doesnt say it, and when i right click> Change desktop background, it changes the theme on the panels, but everything lse is still in low grahpics mode
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> less:  You could reset the gnome panels.
[13:13] <p1l0t> Why is it when I specify credentials=credentials or credentials=/directory/credentials it asks me for a (not sudo) password still? (#samba idle)
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> !reset-panel | less
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. did that factoid get lost also..
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel | less
[13:14] <less> tnx
[13:14] <ikonia> [Screamo]: what video card do you have
[13:14] <[Screamo]> erm
[13:14] <[Screamo]> h/o
[13:14] <Guest78740> ziggy_: howdy. i found a solution. /sbin/alsa force-reload and then restart the applications that use flash. actually flash broke the whole sound for all applications. that way i got around a reset.
[13:14] <[Screamo]>  Card nVidia NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] X.Org 1.7.6 Res: 1920x1440@60.0hz

[13:15] <Rr> ziggy_: regarding the flash no-sound problem
[13:15] <less> Dr_Willis: no system tray after reset.

[13:15] <DamienCassou> mounting my camera always lead to a read-only file system. I tried to pass option rw to mount, without success. Can anyone help me? I can still take photos so I guess the memory card is not write-protected at all
[13:15] <LjL> what
[13:16] <mickster04> lol
[13:16] <[Screamo]> ikonia, it worked flawlessly before
[13:16] <ikonia> [Screamo]: before what ?
[13:16] <[Screamo]> :|
[13:16] <relentless> I heard
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  try installing and running the ntfs-config command and set teh check box's to allow writing to removeable media
[13:16] <relentless> there is some op abouing people here.
[13:16] <ikonia> relentless: please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to talk to operators
[13:16] <tsubame> suprise, suprise. even sound works
[13:17] <overrider> When i plug in my Huawei USB 3G Modem, a 'dumb' connection utility will start itself. How do i prevent this from happening? I guess somewhere is a rule that says 'If this Device ID is plugged in, do that'. Any idea where to look? Thanks
[13:17] <less> Maybe I should rephrase: how do I access NetworkManager in Lucid?
[13:17] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: I don't think it's ntfs because writing to it worked before
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  the tool is for vfat and ntfs
[13:17] <[Screamo]> i tried out an Radeon 9550, and it came up with an error, then said something about low graphics mode, then gave me some options, i hit configure, and nothing happened, i clicked it like 3 more times, then said screw it, turn off comp, switch back to the nvidia card and still in low grahpics mode
[13:17] <kryptyk> I am having an issue with ALSA in Lucid. It is outputting the audio of both channels to only the right speaker. This not a hardware issue as it has done with 3 different sets of speakers.
[13:18] <[Screamo]> oh yeah, and i have no sound
[13:18] <[Screamo]> :/
[13:19] <p1l0t> What? lol j/k
[13:19] <thune3> kryptyk: confirm with "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front*.wav"
[13:19] <ziggy_> Rr: yeah Rr
[13:19] <[Screamo]> less, maybe nm-applet in terminal?
[13:19] <p1l0t> [screamo] what was the error?
[13:19] <[Screamo]> p1l0t, i dont remeber
[13:20] <p1l0t> [screamo] figuring out the exact error will help you debug much easier
[13:20] <sakura> เหงาจังครับ
[13:20] <[Screamo]> p1l0t, that error was only with the other vid card, and it was based on the other vi card
[13:20] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: the checkbox doesn't change anything
[13:21] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: I tried to unmount and mount again without success
[13:21] <ziggy_> Rr: I just wonder why did alsa need to be reloaded...
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  Odd. here when i check the boxc's it autiomatiacaly unmounted and remounted my excternal usb hd;s
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  you using 10.04 ?
[13:22] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: in the man page, it is said that it is valid only for ntfs. I'm on 10.4 right
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  that tool works for vfat and ntfs both  - thats how i enable writeing on my vfat external usb hds
[13:23] <p1l0t> How do I open a folder with a space in the name from the command line?
[13:23] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: ok
[13:23] <LjL> p1l0t: put the name inside "quotation" or escape the space with "\ "
[13:23] <[Screamo]> eh
[13:23] <p1l0t> LjL thanks
[13:23] <[Screamo]> i am going to try using the propreitary drivers
[13:23] <T-Co> I have a Sony VAIO that has GeForce GT 330M and I had to hack and slash my way when installing ubuntu. I'm using "CustomEDID"    "DFP-0:/etc/X11/geforcegt330m.raw" and "metamodes"     "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0" in xorg.conf so it's custom made xorg.conf. Is there any way to get HDMI output working with this?
[13:24] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: still no success
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  Actually on this NEW install i did yesterday.. it defaulted to the vfat being writeable..   and the ntfs even ..
[13:24] <kryptyk> thune3 - all sounds (front left, front center, and front right) all play through only the right speaker
[13:24] <ziggy_> Rr: do you have to reload alsa every time you restart Ubuntu?
[13:24] <MagicJ> I have configured my system, using gconf-editor to have only one workspace - why are the tabs still offering me the option of moving to another workspace - and more to the point how do I stop this?
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> at least i dont recall running ntfs-config on this box.. i might have done it yesterday
[13:25] <[Screamo]> And i am going to install a pci audio card, maybe that will give me sound
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  you could always just mount the thing by hand/command line
[13:27] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: I tried using 'mount -o rw ...' without success
[13:27] <kryptyk> thune3: all sounds (front left, front center, and front right) all play through only the right speaker
[13:27] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: I always get the message that the drive is write protected and thus it mounts read-only
[13:28] <Rr> ziggy_: don't know why alsa didn't work. maybe it was in use by flash and it left it i a bad state. that its not just no-sound for flash after the flash upgrade was a surprise..
[13:29] <eagles0513875> hey guys has anyone experienced this problem before and have any idea how to fix it http://paste.ubuntu.com/449986/
[13:29] <thune3> kryptyk: sorry, those files are mono. ooops. just a sec.
[13:30] <HinHin> buckling IBM model M keyboards are basically the best you can get
[13:30] <ziggy_> Rr: I'm glad to hear that you got sound back, no fun watching videos without sound (^_^)
[13:30] <tsubame> how can one apt-get something from a specific source?
[13:31] <less> Handcrafting a special sources.lst for the occasion maybe?
[13:31] <halvors> How can i upload packages to the offcial Ubuntu repositorys?
[13:32] <tsubame> i feel there must be a better way
[13:32] <kryptyk> tsubame: what exactly do you mean? apt-get works entirely off of specific sources as defined in /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:32] <halvors> How can i include my package to the ubuntu repository
[13:32] <halvors> ?
[13:32] <LjL> !revu > halvors    (halvors, see the private message from ubottu)
[13:32] <tsubame> kryptyk: yeah. but assume theres pkg X in different verions on repo A and B. how do i tell apt-get to use B instead of A
[13:33] <tsubame> halvors: you cant
[13:33] <tsubame> halvors: you can set up a ppa though to ease the pain for others
[13:33] <tsubame> halvors: the stuff in the repos is handpicked by debian/ubuntu
[13:34] <kryptyk> tsubame: For me, the easiest thing to do would be to edit sources and comment out the repo that you don't want - but there may be a more elegant way
[13:34] <kryptyk> tsubame: you can also find the .deb and wget it
[13:34] <Freshness> Hey, is there someone who could help me with a crc checksum problem?
[13:34] <tsubame> there must be. oh well, not in the mood to figure it out

[13:40] <Rigorm0rtis> Hello, I am running into what I think might be a kernel bug in the latest ubuntu release. Simply put, when writing a very large file (a disk image) to the drive the entire system crashes. It doesn't matter if I am using Samba (over cifs) or tunneling the file over ssh. The system crashes around 60GB of data every time.
[13:41] <Ozzah> I'm using the stock 10.04 ALSA drivers to run my SoundBlaster Live! Platinum. I've set my sound preferences to use IEC958, and unmuted the SP/DIF stuff in alsamixer, but I still don't get any audio through toslink. I don't even see the red light. Any ideas?

[13:43] <MagicJ> where is the trash actually kept - old documentation seems to imply ~/.Trash but this is not the case?
[13:43] <p1l0t> pushpop what order are your partitions in?
[13:43] <pushpop> I did the guided partition
[13:43] <pushpop> so I have a swap and ext partition
[13:43] <pushpop> I do have a drive in the pc with NTFS on it though that I didnt partition
[13:44] <bazhang> !trash | MaJic_NinJa
[13:44] <kryptyk> pushpop: at the very basic level, you should have a root partition (/), swap partition, and a home partition
[13:45] <sikun> i am having some problems getting my mic to work on my desktop, not sure where to really start on troubleshooting it
[13:45] <kryptyk> pushpop: ext is a file system, btw - kinda like NTFS on Windows
[13:46] <pushpop> kryptyk understood, just not understand why I can boot to the drive I installed ubuntu on
[13:46] <rdg> is there an IM client for Ubuntu with the same integration as Empathy?
[13:46] <kryptyk> pushpop: Am I correct that you are dual booting with Windows then?
[13:46] <EgyParadox> rdg: Other than Empathy?
[13:46] <forceflow> rdg: don't think so
[13:46] <saywatmang> is there anyway to have linux "re detect" connected usb devices?  for example in windows you can go into device manager and 'uninstall' the usb root hub and then have it scan for hardware changes
[13:47] <forceflow> empathy is tightly coupled to that widget thingy
[13:47] <pushpop> your are not, I just have files on my second hard drive from a windows computer that I would like to have on my ubuntu machine
[13:47] <kryptyk> pushpop: I see
[13:47] <kryptyk> And you are certain that BRUB installed to the MBR?
[13:47] <rdg> suck. you can't disable logging in empathy which makes it a no-go for my work environment
[13:47] <pushpop> kryptyk It asked me if I wanted to installed Grub and I of course said yes
[13:48] <gnoob>  #grub
[13:48] <mmfb> LjL: After putting in the correct command I get this -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/450083/
[13:49] <LjL> mmfb: you can't just type a filename containing spaces like that in bash. you need to put it inside "quotation marks"
[13:49] <aTurtle> saywatmang: lsusb - list USB devices
[13:50] <kryptyk> pushpop: check out this page - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[13:50] <kryptyk> That will walk you through reinstalling GRUB from the Live CD
[13:50] <pushpop> ok ill check it out
[13:50] <pushpop> also what is the fastest/best file system to use
[13:51] <kryptyk> Everyone has there preferences - I generally run XFS
[13:51] <mmfb> LjL: Now I get this... mount: can't find /home/mmfb/Downloads/Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast/Star wars jedi knight II jedi outcast$ in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[13:51] <forceflow> i run ext4, but that's just because it came as default in u9.10 ...
[13:51] <forceflow> (imho, it feels faster than ext3)
[13:51] <aTurtle> mmfb: "mkdir ~/Jedi ; sudo mount -o loop jedi2.iso ~/Jedi"
[13:52] <kryptyk> pushpop: it is worth noting that FXS is a 64bit file system
[13:52] <kryptyk> XFS*
[13:52] <LjL> mmfb: do what he said, it's much better than mounting on a probably non-existant extremely long filename.
[13:53] <rdg> empathy doesn't like it if you symbolically link its logs directory to /dev/null
[13:53] <forceflow> rdg: why do you do that?
[13:53] <rdg> i can't have logs
[13:53] <rdg> work requirement
[13:53] <forceflow> well, then just disable logging in empathy?
[13:53] <rdg> it's not an option
[13:53] <rdg> it's been an open bug for nearly 2 years
[13:53] <forceflow> really?
[13:54] <forceflow> whew
[13:54] <mmfb> It tells me that jedi2.iso is no such file or directory. :(
[13:54] <forceflow> rdg: then just run a cronjob that cleans out log dir every 5 minutes
[13:54] <LjL> seems like the kind of bug that would stop you from using such a program as the default IM program for anything, to me :|
[13:54] <rdg> yup. means medical professionals, certain government personnel, and others can't use it
[13:55] <earthman> hi
[13:55] <LjL> mmfb: well, you're the only one who can know what the actual ISO file is called, i can't guess that for you :)
[13:55] <EgyParadox> !crontab>rdg
[13:55] <forceflow> rdg: I never understood the switch from pidgin to empathy
[13:55] <mmfb> It's "jedi2.iso"
[13:55] <earthman> Dear all , I come from Shanghai
[13:55] <LjL> mmfb: perhaps it has Capitals? or it isn't in the current directory?
[13:56] <aTurtle> mmfb: Go to the current directory that jedi2.iso sits in, then run that command.
[13:56] <SmokeyD> hey everyone, how can I simulate on the commandline the mount that happens when I insert a usb stick? There is no fstab entry or anything, but still ubuntu automounts it. Just calling "mount /dev/sdc1" won't work since it looks in fstab. Any clues how I could do that? (I am creating a script)
[13:56] <earthman> ok
[13:57] <earthman> Ok, Only topic about ubuntu

[13:58] <mmfb> mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/mmfb/Jedi': File exists
[13:58] <mmfb> Is what I get when I put it in, although it still prompts for a password
[13:59] <LjL> mmfb: that's fine, you've already created the directory previously. if it says nothing else, then the ISO has likely been mounted. check.
[13:59] <thune3> kryptic: sorry. the correct command for the test is : speaker-test -c 2 -t wav

[14:00] <earthman> great
[14:00] <arcanian> My sound output is really distorted, scratchy. I get a headache when I hear it for too long and I guess that my HDMI, i.e. gfx card, interferes with my soundcard. Is there any way I can deinstall this HDMI device without deinstalling my gfx card?
[14:00] <tgywa> ?
[14:00] <p1l0t> !ask | earthman
[14:01] <rdg> EgyParadox: the problem with doing a cron job is if Empathy is running and expects a log file to exists.. blammo it crashes
[14:01] <SmokeyD> how does ubuntu make sure a new usbstick is automatically mounted? I guess it happens through some udev magic?
[14:01] <mmfb> LjL: I don't see it.
[14:02] <less> sudo apt-get install kismet gives me an old version, is there anywhere to get a .deb of the 2010 version of kismet?
[14:02] <arcanian> Does no one know?
[14:02] <less> (On Lucid.)
[14:02] <iceman_3233> h
[14:02] <mmfb> less: Try "sudo apt-get update kismet"
[14:02] <less> Will try.
[14:02] <forceflow> rdg: then just make the cronjob empty the files :)
[14:02] <LjL> SmokeyD, i think it's GNOME that does it
[14:03] <SmokeyD> LjL, ho, any clue how gnome does it?
[14:03] <rdg> how do you just empty a file
[14:03] <mmfb> Might there be a package or App that mounts iso files? Something like Alcohol 120%?
[14:03] <SmokeyD> it is also mounted in the filesystem, so it is not only gvfs
[14:03] <T-Co> http://xorg.pastebin.com/nBAxnMG9 this is what I get from Xorg. Does someone know what else do I have to add to my config in order to get DFP-1 to work?
[14:04] <hateball> mmfb: Rightclick and open with gnome mount
[14:04] <earthman> Ubuntu Server no GUI screen?
[14:04] <LjL> SmokeyD: no i don't really know, just https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB seems to confirm it's GNOME doing
[14:04] <SmokeyD> I want to simulate it in the commandline after I unmounted the drive, and changed the filesystem label
[14:04] <forceflow> rdg: delete it, then touch the original filename?
[14:04] <hateball> earthman: Server edition is commandline only, by default
[14:04] <arcanian> Hello? No answer?
[14:04] <forceflow> rdg: then empathy will just find empty logs
[14:04] <elcucu> tgywa: man netstat
[14:04] <mmfb> hateball: I'm not sure if this matters any, but I'm using Xubuntu
[14:05] <mmfb> hateball: I don't see GNOME mount anywhere.
[14:05] <hateball> mmfb: Yes, that would matter since you're using XFCE and not GNOME. I'm not aware of tools for xfce, but perhaps in #xubuntu they are
[14:06] <Mahjongg> hello, I have 6 Ubuntu Lucid boxes all af which freeze during user switching procedure. Is it because of xorg or user switcher or some program that I might have on all systems? Recently, I did not see this happening though (but I am trying to avoid user switching). Does anybody know about this bug?
[14:06] <less> mmfb: no luck with apt-get (concerning Kismet).
[14:07] <Mahjongg> by freeze I mean a black screen, not a perfect freeze
[14:07] <Mahjongg> rather an X freeze
[14:07] <hateball> Mahjongg: I've had that issue with ATI drivers
[14:08] <Mahjongg> hateball, I have nvidia, intel
[14:08] <hateball> Mahjongg: so if you have it and use something else... I guess xorg :)
[14:08] <Mahjongg> hateball, do you know if it has been fixed?
[14:09] <Mahjongg> hateball, do you know the link to this bug on ubuntu bugs?
[14:09] <hateball> Mahjongg: I cant say I do, and I dont have anything other than an ATI machine handy right now :/
[14:09] <SmokeyD> LjL do you know of any command I could issue that would make the system think the usbstick was taken out an put back in again?
[14:09] <comput> ´ó¼ÒºÃ
[14:10] <T-Co> So no one here who has working TwinView with laptop and HDMI?
[14:11] <aoeu> I'm currently reinstalling ubuntu. I had an encrypted /home with the standard encryption fron the alternate CD. How do I keep my old /home-partition the easiest way?
[14:11] <LjL> SmokeyD: no idea :(
[14:11] <SmokeyD> LjL: ok, thanks for thinking with me :)
[14:11] <Bjartr> Hi, I sometimes get a bunch of error bells in a row while I'm not doing anything. I (thought) I'd disabled error bells already, how can I determine the source program causing the bells and/or how can I turn them off for good?
[14:12] <ikonia> Bjartr: a common thing would be internal devices like bluetooth stopping/starting I used to get this on an old laptop
[14:12] <ikonia> Bjartr: look at the syslog and see if there are any obvious warnings
[14:14] <Bjartr> ikonia: nothing that looks like it matches the times I heard the bells
[14:14] <thune3> Bjartr: you've set sound theme in SoundPreferences to No sounds?
[14:14] <arcanian> Hopefully I'll get help this millenia. My sound output is really distorted and I can't fix it by changing the controllers in the alsamixer. On System -> Preferences -> Sound, in the hardware-tab I have two soundcards listed. The HD-Audio Generic and my SB Audigy 2 ZS. I only get sound when I change the settings for the Audigy to analog mono duplex or analog mono output, but on both settings...
[14:14] <arcanian> ...the output is really distorted, so what can I do against that? Please anyone help, it's driving me crazy. :(

[14:18] <Bjartr> thune3: I only have an Ubuntu theme, no 'no sounds' theme. Clicking the preview button next to the alert sound entry I don't hear anything (I don't have external speakers) so it's the internal pcspeaker that's getting triggered
[14:18] <mithridates> I wanna install a package from channel but apt-get install it from cache
[14:19] <mithridates> how can I ignore the cache
[14:19] <thune3> Bjartr: i have to look, but you could blacklist the module that drives the internal speaker
[14:19] <LjL> mithridates: you can remove the cache by doing "sudo apt-get clean"
[14:19] <mithridates> tnx
[14:20] <LjL> mithridates: however, the package you download will be the same as the one from the cache, most likely. there are checks in place to guarantee that.
[14:20] <Bjartr> thune: that would be /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, yes?

[14:30] <b0rdel> Hi all. I want to know whats the official virtualization of ubuntu: kvm or virtualbox. DOes anybody know?
[14:30] <saywatmang> any pointers on usb stuff not detecting?  nothing coming through /var/log/messages when plugging/unplugging the usb device
[14:30] <SirMoo> Does the USB plug work for other devices?
[14:31] <diey0sa> what is that mean?sorry for my english is bad
[14:31] <arcanian> I tried many ubuntu help sites and nowhere I could find help or received answers to my questions. It starts to be annoying, really.
[14:31] <Docteh> b0rdel: i dont think there is one, works with virtualbox, probably kvm as well
[14:31] <loopidity> is there any client for ubuntu thats works in substitution of KDX client?
[14:32] <queso> Oh, apparently the bug has been reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/569273  I guess I'll just wait on a fix.
[14:32] <Docteh> diey0sa: did you get like <xml><tags /><galore /></xml>?

[14:33] <b0rdel> Docteh: cause https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue76/ says that runs kvm
[14:33] <jelly_eyed_jim> how can i run windows apps of a cd in wine
[14:33] <unimatrix> how do i increase the scroll wheel polling speed in ubuntu ?
[14:33] <diey0sa> please tell me if u can read the content
[14:33] <jelly_eyed_jim> how can i run windows apps of a cd in wine

[14:34] <jelly_eyed_jim> ok
[14:34] <jelly_eyed_jim> but i don't wanna run windows
[14:34] <jelly_eyed_jim> i'm asking how to do it in linux
[14:34] <anirvana> someone please help me cure this error : "Kernel :panic-not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block[8,5]" . :(
[14:35] <Docteh> diey0sa: that looks like garbage
[14:35] <iceroot> jelly_eyed_jim: wine /path/to/cd/and/your/exe
[14:35] <diey0sa> no..it is really file..u also cant open it?
[14:35] <bazhang> jelly_eyed_jim, check the appdb and /join #winehq
[14:35] <bazhang> !appdb | jelly_eyed_jim
[14:35] <jelly_eyed_jim> kk thanks
[14:35] <piko> anirvana, hello, it seems your linux can not boot as it does not find its root partition
[14:35] <Docteh> i can open it but i dont see xml
[14:36] <diey0sa> can u see the text?
[14:36] <b0rdel> http://www.ubuntu.com/server/features/virtualisation
[14:36] <Docteh> no
[14:36] <b0rdel> got it.. thanks
[14:36] <anirvana> piko , exactly It can't and I have a hell lot of work stuck inside it :(
[14:36] <diey0sa> same with me..i try it about 1 month already
[14:36] <anirvana> piko , This happened after I installed wireless driver into it
[14:37] <SirMoo> Is it possible to boot from a live CD and recover those files anirvana?
[14:37] <jelly_eyed_jim> everytime i click on the an auto run file and set it up for wine it says that The file '/media/TRA/autorun.exe' is not marked as executable
[14:37] <Docteh> anirvana: why is it refering to sda5 as unknown-block? did you forget the initrd?
[14:37] <jelly_eyed_jim> everytime i click on the an auto run file and set it up for wine it says that The file '/media/TRA/autorun.exe' is not marked as executable
[14:37] <Docteh> !repeat | jelly_eyed_jim
[14:37] <bazhang> jelly_eyed_jim, did you do as I suggested?
[14:37] <piko> jelly_eyed_jim, do not be surprised that people are not pleased to ask this kind of question if you can speak english, try google something like wine howto, then check wine database if the program you want to run is erported to be ok with wine and ask in winehq channel if needed
[14:37] <jelly_eyed_jim> sorry i'll stop
[14:37] <diey0sa> or can u tell me what happen to that file??before i have no problem to open xml file..this is really2 weird
[14:37] <bazhang> jelly_eyed_jim, did you check the appdb?
[14:38] <anirvana> Docteh , I have no idea, I just installed wireless driver and rebooted, after that I couldn't start it again!
[14:38] <anirvana> SirMoo , Can't I repair it?
[14:38] <piko> anirvana, well, first, you need to run another linux on the machine, so burn a live linux cd if you do not have one and boot to it
[14:38] <iceroot> jelly_eyed_jim: as i told you, wine /path/to/the/file   double-click is not working because +x is not set
[14:39] <jelly_eyed_jim> ok
[14:39] <anirvana> piko , Can't I repair the existing one?
[14:39] <furuno> how can I set JAVA_HOME environment variable in 10.04? I'm using sun-jdk6.
[14:39] <erUSUL> furuno: /etc/environment ? youre own .bashrc or .profile ?
[14:40] <rafaelsoaresbr> why does my wireless connection often disconnect?
[14:40] <Docteh> anirvana: try the older kernel option?
[14:40] <furuno> erUSUL: is my .profile enough?
[14:40] <piko> anirvana, of course yes, the live distro is just to get booted, then you can mount existing partition and correct the mistake in grub configuration and all will be ok
[14:40] <_Y00_H00_> sorry
[14:40] <anirvana> Docteh , OK
[14:41] <anirvana> piko , Do I need to reinstall ubuntu all over again?
[14:41] <piko> anirvana, also, probably try to start other grub entries (recovery lines, other kernels)
[14:41] <piko> anirvana, not
[14:41] <erUSUL> rafaelsoaresbr: buggy driver ? see if installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic helps
[14:41] <erUSUL> furuno: if you are only interested in using java with your user it may be enough
[14:41] <anirvana> ok guys brb in 10 minutes , lemme try to boot the older krnels
[14:42] <piko> anirvana, if your partion is okay (which is the most likely case) then your installation/data ... will be preserved, this is just a way how to get to the system and repair the configuration
[14:42] <furuno> erUSUL: so is it /usr/bin/java or /usr/lib/jvm or something else
[14:43] <rafaelsoaresbr> erUSUL, sorry, i'm running Karmic. is it similar?
[14:43] <erUSUL> rafaelsoaresbr: yes just s/lucid/karmic/
[14:44] <erUSUL> furuno: something like --- /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/ ?? (in my case i have only openjdkjre installed)
[14:45] <furuno> erUSUL: then I guess it should be /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun then, thanks!
[14:45] <erUSUL> furuno: probably
[14:46] <thune3> queso: looks like a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/indicator-application/+bug/569273 possible fix is available in karmic-proposed and should be making it to standard updates at some point
[14:46] <thune3> *lucid-proposed
[14:49] <furuno> erUSUL: yep it's all done, many thanks!
[14:49] <erUSUL> furuno: no problem
[14:49] <unimatrix> how do i increase the scroll wheel polling speed in ubuntu ?
[14:51] <furuno> unimatrix: I don't think you can do that globally, but you should be able to do it on per-application basis
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> unimatrix:  if you got a logitech mouse theres that 3rd party drivers/tools from hidpoint.com (or was it hidpoint.org)
[14:54] <Tarkers> Hello, does anyone know how I can register my nickname on here?
[14:54] <mmfb> How do you make folders hidden?
[14:54] <anirvana> Docteh , piko :I can boot in through old kernels, but Can I fix the newer one?Moreover my wifi also wasn't working in the older kernel!
[14:54] <LjL> !register > Tarkers    (Tarkers, see the private message from ubottu)
[14:55] <Dr_Willis> mmfb:  hidding files/dirs is normally by just putting a . at the start of the name
[14:55] <Tarkers> !register Tarkers
[14:55] <Tarkers> !register
[14:55] <furuno> mmfb: add a dot (.) in front of your file / folder
[14:55] <erUSUL> mmfb: put a dot as first char in the name
[14:55] <piko> anirvana, good, then paste somewhere your menu.lst
[14:56] <piko> anirvana, more precisely /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:57] <piko> anirvana, jsut to bude sure, what version of grub are you using? grub-legacy or grub2_
[14:59] <testnick> hi
[14:59] <anirvana> piko , Ah I will have to reboot to try this command.I have a dual boot system
[14:59] <Tarkers> Hello, I'm very new to Ubuntu still and I'm not quite sure how to install a theme.  I've downloaded a .tar.gz of a login screen, I'm just not sure how to put it into action.  I'm running Lucid Lynx, thanks.
[14:59] <slava_dp> what Xorg version is in 10.04?
[15:00] <anirvana> piko, Can you tell me the steps to make my new krnel working?
[15:00] <piko> anirvana, no problem, I am here, just quote me
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> Tarkers:  gdm has undergone radical changes  in 10.04 - the old themes wont work.
[15:00] <anirvana> ok
[15:00] <piko> anirvana, wait
[15:00] <Tarkers> Thanks Dr_Willis, do you happen to know where I can find some themes that will work?
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> Tarkers:   You can change the wallpaper gdm uses easially. or a few other little tweaks.  Theres some themes in the repos also for it. but i never bother doing more then changing the wallpaper
[15:01] <furuno> Tarkers: for thems other than login screen, you can visit: gnome-look.org
[15:01] <Tarkers> Ok, thanks everyone.
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> There used to be a tool called 'epidermis' that let you do come gdm2 theme changeing.. but last i tried it.. it dident work very well
[15:01] <sapersi> my firefox occasionally says could not establish a connection on any page, is the only solution to restart?
[15:02] <piko> anirvana, first, paste the menu.lst, then check if there is not any discrepancy like diferent root= ... if initramfs image is present ... then try dpkg-reconfigure <kernel-package-name> to check if there are no errors in this phase
[15:02] <furuno> sapersi: connection problem? found this quite often on my friend's pc
[15:02] <p1l0t> Ok seriously why does smbmount ask me for a password when I specify a credentials filename with credentials=filename? (#samba idle)
[15:02] <piko> anirvana, then we can try something more
[15:02] <Docteh> anirvana: also check in /boot or w/e for the initrd file
[15:02] <sapersi> yea it says that, but everything is setup correct and working properly except firefox

[15:03] <Hans_Henrik> when i put a blank DVD in my computer, then tries to boot to recovery mode, it goes fine till a point where it just starts spamming i/o error cant read sector 0 src blabla, i guess thats a bug? (restarted 4 times to check, and first time i removed the dvd it was all fine)
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> p1l0t:  with samba - when in doubt.. i reread the 'samba-doc' (3 books i think) that are in the samba-doc package.  (ive never used credentials befor)
[15:04] <usuario> no sabeis espeak español
[15:04] <furuno> sapersi: restarting his modem and complaining to the ISP :|
[15:04] <sapersi> hahaha i had to restart the pc, just doing the modem didnt do anything
[15:04] <maeon3> Hans_henrik:  Sounds like the hard drive, have you tried booting to a different hard drive?
[15:05] <Hans_Henrik> maeon3: no, and no. sounds like the black DVD to me. i cannot boot recovery mode with a blank DVD inserted :p
[15:05] <Hans_Henrik> blank*
[15:05] <p1l0t> Dr_Willis I will give that a shot, seems the syntax is correct according to the manual though maybe something I should report to them..
[15:05] <furuno> is there's anyway to set up different wallpaper on each monitor other than using nitrogen?

[15:06] <furuno> rhl6856: change your mirror from System > Administration > Software Sources, choose the one that's closest to you
[15:06] <maeon3> Ah, so taking the DVD out everything works fine.  Maybe it attempts to read the blank DVD.
[15:07] <{g}> Interesting: Everybody says one should use aptitude instead of apt-get. But when trying to start a not installed app, Ubuntu suggests to apt-get install it. Is there a reason for this?
[15:07] <Hans_Henrik> maeon3: yep think so, and i guess its a bug that it prevent the os from booting :p
[15:07] <rhl6856> furuno, thanks alot.
[15:07] <furuno> rhl6856: no problem
[15:07] <Hans_Henrik> could someone else check if they get the same issue with a blank dvd and recovery mode?
[15:07] <rhl6856> furuno, will this change the active download mirror?
[15:08] <sapersi> furuno thanks as well
[15:08] <Docteh> {g}: its to remind people that aptitude exists because everyone forgets about it ;)
[15:08] <Gibby> Anyone have any luck with nouveau and NV50 for dual head?
[15:08] <furuno> rhl6856: I guess you'll need to stop and resume the download (don't really sure though)
[15:08] <{g}> Docteh: WHAT reminds that aptitude exists?
[15:08] <furuno> sapersi: no problem
[15:09] <maeon3> Hans_Henrik:  Have you tried it with a blank CD as well as a DVD?
[15:09] <Hans_Henrik> nope
[15:09] <furuno> rhl6856: but I think it won't redownload (just continue from what you've already have)
[15:09] <shoopdawoop> {g}: I think ubuntu suggests apt-get because synpatics uses apt-get and mixing apt-get and aptitude is not a good idea
[15:09] <Hans_Henrik> maeon3: dont got a blank cd available atm
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  aptitude is gettign removed from the default install in the next release last i heard.
[15:09] <Docteh> {g}: telling people to use it instead of apt-get kind of works as a reminder, they both work the same way but I guess you can query more information about dependancies when you do something like apt-get yakuake and you're wondering why theres a million deps
[15:09] <sapersi> furuno: you ever want free drinks or tickets, I have music on 31 radio stations, XM, EA Games, and I perform with Bone Thugs N Harmony.
[15:10] <sapersi> furuno: your help much appreciated usually i ask a question and receive insults
[15:10] <{g}> shoopdawoop: interestinig
[15:10] <furuno> sapersi: well, this is not /g/ :)
[15:10] <sapersi> furuno: but then again thats on #hackthissite
[15:10] <{g}> Docteh: i dont understand what you mean. i did not get told to use aptitude.
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> Ive had aptitude do some odd things ages ago.. it wasnted to remove, then reinstalled 300 packages.. Still not sure why it did that. :)  May of been some oddity in the packages i had.
[15:11] <maeon3> Hans_Henrik: that's a bizarre bug, maybe its a corrupt cd rom drive?
[15:11] <Docteh> {g}: then i totally misread what you first said
[15:11] <{g}> Dr_Willis: why dont they replace apt-get with aptitude?
[15:11] <Gibby> Anyone know where I can get nouveau support? Their IRC channel is "read only"
[15:11] <sapersi> furuno: 4chan?
[15:11] <{g}> Docteh: yes
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  why bother. personally ive never really seen much benifit in using aptitude.  One of the reasions they are removeing it (i hear) is to trim down yet more space for other stuff on the cd.
[15:12] <Docteh> well apt-get runs faster if you're just installing something
[15:12] <shoopdawoop> aptitude really isn't "better" than apt-get, it's more a matter of taste
[15:12] <Pici> Gibby: You'll need to be registered and identified to talk there.
[15:12] <Pici> !register > Gibby
[15:12] <LjL> shoopdawoop: well, it undeniably has more features than apt-get
[15:12] <Hans_Henrik> maeon3: maybe. but doubt it, used it to write some movies (supernatural season 1) yesterday, and it worked fine when i putted it in the dvd-player ^^
[15:12] <Docteh> too bad they cant get packages to cut down on fat
[15:12] <furuno> sapersi: what else :) anyway let's try to stay on topic shall we
[15:13] <m4rtijn> hi all
[15:13] <keyboard> anyone can help
[15:13] <furuno> !ask | keyboard
[15:13] <sapersi> furuno: i thought i saw billy goats, i had to man the bridge
[15:13] <{g}> Dr_Willis: i heard that aptitude removes dependencies that are no longer needed. i never quite understood that because everything seems to be a dependency so that would mean apt-get is not removing anything when uninstalling.
[15:13] <m4rtijn> could somebody tell me how I can find out where the mysql server files are being installed on ubuntu 10
[15:13] <Hans_Henrik> {g}: isn't that same as apt-get autoremove ?
[15:13] <keyboard> i can't install nvidia
[15:13] <keyboard> 8400gs
[15:13] <Gibby> ubottu, thanks
[15:14] <furuno> m4rtijn: the data files or the application excutable?
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  i think it only removes them in that case IF you used aptitude to install the packages also.. but ive never really had much of a need to  uninstall stuff :)
[15:14] <scyx> does anyone know what dmask/fmask i have to specify in fstab to turn off that annoying executable bit on ntfs partitions?
[15:14] <m4rtijn> furuno: actualy im looking for the config files..
[15:14] <{g}> Hans_Henrik: i dont know. googling for "aptitude vs apt-get" brings up a ton of pages that say aptitude removes better :)
[15:14] <keyboard> it's NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run
[15:14] <LjL> {g}: err, dependencies are packages that a package depends on. so when you remove package "foo", package "foo" itself definitely does get removed - if you use aptitude (or specify 'autoremove' on apt-get), then also its dependencies get removed.
[15:14] <Gibby> Pici, thanks
[15:14] <Pici> Gibby: You're welcome :)
[15:14] <m4rtijn> furuno: but I installed it with aptitude isnt there a way to display what has been installed and where to?
[15:14] <LjL> Hans_Henrik: it's the same concept, although it's not the same implementation
[15:14] <furuno> m4rtijn: try /etc/
[15:15] <{g}> LjL: so no benefit of aptitude over apt-get? its all fud?
[15:15] <Gibby> I have been trying to get this working for 3 days, have reloaded 10.04 about 15 times now
[15:15] <Rigorm0rtis> Hello, I am running into what I think might be a kernel bug in the latest ubuntu release. Simply put, when writing a very large file (a disk image) to the drive the entire system crashes. It doesn't matter if I am using Samba (over cifs) or tunneling the file over ssh. The system crashes around 60GB of data every time.
[15:15] <LjL> {g}: aptitude has much better search features.
[15:15] <LjL> {g}: it also is supposed to handle conflict situations better, or at least differently.
[15:15] <m4rtijn> ubuntu should be able to tell me which files have been installed and where.. for any package.. or not?
[15:15] <Rigorm0rtis> {g}: isn't aptitude just a frontend to apt-get anyways?
[15:15] <LjL> Rigorm0rtis: no
[15:15] <{g}> LjL: search features? i dont search much. conflicts? i dont know about them.
[15:16] <m4rtijn> the "ubuntu software center" is shit
[15:16] <Docteh> {g}: you're comparing two slightly different can openers, but one of them you already have and cant get rid of ;)
[15:16] <m4rtijn> :p
[15:16] <{g}> Rigorm0rtis: google "aptitude vs apt-get" there is a ton of stuff.
[15:16] <LjL> !language | m4rtijn
[15:16] <furuno> m4rtijn: usually not :), but in linux, config is usually in /etc/
[15:16] <m4rtijn> it has no details
[15:16] <m4rtijn> furuno: hm, okay thanks
[15:16] <LjL> m4rtijn: use Synaptic then, for additional detail and features
[15:16] <Hajex> Hi... can I install photoshop CS5 11 in ubuntu??
[15:16] <Docteh> m4rtijn: someone should mock up a better one maybe
[15:16] <nehyx> Rigorm0rtis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=359833 << See
[15:16] <Docteh> Hajex: check the wine app db maybe
[15:16] <Vroomfondle> Hajex: not CS5, no (last time I checked)
[15:16] <furuno> Docteh: mintinstall or the old add/remove programs is much better
[15:17] <Vroomfondle> earlier versions of Photoshop run in Wine
[15:17] <Vroomfondle> !wine
[15:17] <thune3> m4rtijn: package manifests are in /var/lib/dpkg/info/

[15:17] <abhijain> hello
[15:17] <furuno> !hi | abhijain
[15:17] <abhijain> any body tell me how can i remove application in ubuntu which is not properly installed
[15:17] <tvon> shouldnt passwordless remote login work across accounts?  eg my local user1 id_rsa.pub in my remote user2 .ssh/authorized_keys... that should work, right?
[15:18] <furuno> abhijain: not properly installed? more details please?
[15:18] <LjL> abhijain: what do you mean by not properly installed?
[15:18] <Hajex> Thanks for all ^_^
[15:19] <scyx> does anyone know what dmask/fmask i have to specify in fstab to turn off that annoying executable bit on ntfs partitions?
[15:19] <abhijain> furuno: due to slow network connection installation stopped and now its giving error
[15:19] <queso> How can I get any of these audio-streams to play in Rhythmbox?  I've tried "New Internet Radio Station" but it doesn't work.  http://www.wcpe.org/internet.shtml
[15:19] <furuno> abhijain: is the error message contain something like "can't lock ...."
[15:20] <abhijain> furuno: repair this application
[15:20] <datta> my top bar is not showing up at all, I had made some changes with the theme and now it's not up yet

[15:21] <BluesKaj> abhijain, in the terminal , sudo fuser -vki -TERM /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo dpkg --configure -a
[15:21] <datta> I try to change it to other themes but it's all the same

[15:22] <BluesKaj> abhijain, if that still gives broken pkg errors run , sudo dpkg --clear-avail
[15:22] <furuno> datta: try logging out and logging in back, it's a bug with gnome-panel I guess
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> scyx:  i recall you just need to change the fmask, not the dmask
[15:22] <anirvana> Docteh , piko : /boot/ contains initrd.img-2.6.31-14.generic and  initrd.img-2.6.31-22.generic
[15:22] <Tao> I'm trying to install Clonezilla. Can anybody help me with that?
[15:22] <datta> furuno: it's not the panel, it's each window's top bar that's missing
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> datta:  if you mean the windows titlebars. try alt-f2  and run 'metacity --replace' to see if they come back
[15:23] <furuno> datta: press ALT+F2 and type in "metacity --replace" the hit enter

[15:25] <BluesKaj> hearthrob, yes , it's waiting for you to make a choice
[15:25] <Docteh> anirvana: are you using grub2? try /boot/grub/grub.cfg or menu.cfg hmmm

[15:28] <bintut> anyone here able to fix the adobe flash player keep on crashing on ubuntu lucid 64bit?
[15:28] <bintut> [84050.107849] npviewer.bin[30765]: segfault at 418 ip 00000000f6036a56 sp 00000000ffa53978 error 6 in libflashplayer.so[f5de8000+b04000]
[15:28] <furuno> bintut: on what site?
[15:29] <bintut> furuno: there's no specific site..
[15:29] <bintut> furuno: as long as the site is accessing flash
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> bintut:  i think there was a update to flash  in the last few days.. but im not sure what repos they were in.
[15:29] <papertigers> anyone know if its possible to connect to an active X session using somethign like X -query [host] :0
[15:29] <furuno> bintut: it just crashed on any flash site? can you view video in youtube?
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> that may of been 32bit only however.
[15:30] <BluesKaj> hearthrob, burn gparted to a live cd and use it to format the hdd to ext3 or ext4
[15:30] <bintut> Dr_Willis: hhmmm..
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> papertigers:  clarify what you mean by 'connect'   You dont just take over a whole X session without using somting like vnc.
[15:30] <Docteh> anirvana: well make a copy of that other initrd, the -14 one, name it like swish.img or something just in case you screw it up, then fiddle with the tool that makes initramfs and see if theres an error
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> papertigers:  you can force an app to run on a session by setting the proper DISPLAY variable, and using xhost to allow the connection i recall
[15:30] <bintut> furuno: yes. the side effect is on the user's perspective, it is very slow then it will eat a lot of cpu load
[15:31] <Swish> whoa whoa with the using Swish(tm) as your image name!
[15:31]  * Swish wants royalties! ;)
[15:31] <Docteh> anirvana: update-initramfs
[15:31] <furuno> bintut: which method you're using to install flash?
[15:31] <scyx> Dr_Willis: afaik you need both. defualt is umask=007, which is -rwxrwx---.. directories need x though, so i guess fmask should be 117, which would be -rw-rw----
[15:31] <bintut> furuno: everything package installed on my system were installed using apt-get
[15:31] <anirvana> Doctech : My wifi isn't working on it either, how would I update?
[15:32] <Vcache> Hi got a prob with libR.so http://nopaste.info/14bbe305bb.html
[15:32] <bintut> s/everything/every
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> scyx:  you can set dmask and fmask and not umask.. (i recall) but i alweya play with it till i get it right
[15:32] <Docteh> anirvana: it gets built with stuff thats on the hard drive
[15:32] <furuno> bintut: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer?
[15:32] <papertigers> Dr_Willis: yeah basically connect via X withouth vnc or something
[15:32] <Vcache> can i link it somehow?
[15:32] <bintut> furuno: yes, including flashplugin-nonfree
[15:32] <anirvana> Docteh : Ohk so can try this command offline?
[15:32] <furuno> bintut: driver problem maybe?
[15:32] <Docteh> anirvana: yea
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> papertigers:  connect as in have a X app be seen Locally? (where you are sitting) or remotely? where the X is being displayed?
[15:33] <Docteh> also initrd.img-2.6.31-22.generic <-- how big is that file?
[15:33] <momo> hi
[15:33] <anirvana> ok
[15:33] <bintut> furuno: i don't think it's a driver problem
[15:34] <hearthrob> BluesKaj: the hard drive s currently a mix of ntfs, fat, ext3 and reiserfs
[15:35] <furuno> bintut: hmm, I'm here on linux mint 9 (10.04 derivative) with mint-flashplugin-installer-x64, which is flash 10.0.42.2...
[15:35] <bintut> furuno: what i have is 10.1.53.64ubuntu0.10.04.1
[15:35] <furuno> bintut: the ubuntu version is 10.1.53
[15:35] <BluesKaj> hearthrob, so what do you want to save on the hdd, anything /
[15:36] <furuno> bintut: maybe the new version is problematic?
[15:36] <bintut> furuno: which is even newer
[15:36] <turgon> hello. How can i change the color of the tabs in the gnome terminal?
[15:36] <hearthrob> i use it more often for development and testing, and there are a lot of files i don't want to lose

[15:39] <bintut> furuno: i don't know.. actually, i'm a 3 days old ubuntu user and i finally decided to use it in an office network as ltsp x terminal server
[15:39] <hanlin> jenda: try starting gnome-volume-control-applet
[15:39] <furuno> MoleMan: maybe first, try press ALT+F2 and then run "metacity --replace"
[15:40] <jenda> hanlin: bingo
[15:40] <MoleMan> furuno: have done that already. will try again. alt+F2 doesnt work
[15:40] <BluesKaj> anyway , I have to go ...
[15:40] <jenda> hanlin: thanks, if it disappears again, I'll just add it as a startup command
[15:40] <furuno> MoleMan: can you open terminal?
[15:40] <hanlin> jenda: yeah, you need to set it to start on startup
[15:40] <MoleMan> furuno: yes
[15:41] <HannibalWagner> Hey, is there a way to put the Alt-F2 command into AWN???
[15:41] <furuno> MoleMan: try typing "matacity --replace" there
[15:41] <MoleMan> furuno: to me it seems like ubuntu is loading into safe mode or something.
[15:41] <furuno> MoleMan: safe mode ubuntu is text only
[15:42] <raven> hi
[15:42] <furuno> MoleMan: *i mean "metacity --replace"

[15:44] <Euthanatos> 'dwell click' on mouse options is NOT activated and there is nothing else to toggle this there.
[15:44] <furuno> Euthanatos: check you Mouse Preference, especially in the Accessibility tab, make sure dwell click is not active
[15:44] <furuno> Euthanatos: oops sorry
[15:44] <MoleMan> furuno: i just restarted and it all looked weird, firefox doesnt look nice anymore, just grey borders and no minimise/exit buttons

[15:44] <Jmenbalek> can help me ? please
[15:44] <furuno> jcrawford: there's a workaround for this, you can install "nitrogen" and disable nautilus dekstop
[15:44] <hipy> Hi, i have major trouble. There is a security leak in unrealircd and now my server has a rootkit installed. How can i remove it
[15:44] <jcrawford> I am using TwinView for my displays would that be the issue?  Would they each require their own X to have seperate wallpapers?
[15:45] <jcrawford> furuno, will nitrogen work with the Nvidia driver?
[15:45] <furuno> jcrawford: nitrogen is only a wallpaper changer app
[15:45] <jcrawford> oh
[15:45] <HannibalWagner> jcrawford, what is nitrogen?
[15:45] <jcrawford> how do i disable the nautilus desktop then?
[15:45] <HannibalWagner> Don't you mean Oxigen?
[15:45] <jcrawford> and will i lose more features from nautilus than solely the wallpaper?
[15:46] <slow-motion> hi
[15:46] <furuno> jcrawford: press ALT+F2 and run "gconf-editor", the navigate to  Apps > Nautilus > Preference > and uncheck show desktop

[15:47] <furuno> alket: just rerun the command
[15:48] <balachmar> Could someone help me fix gnome do? It seems to have forgotten all application names. It doesn't match with anything anymore, so I cannot start applications.
[15:48] <hipy> wise_crypt will it remove it?
[15:48] <HannibalWagner> hipy, install an antivirus...
[15:48] <wise_crypt> hipy: wont hurt if you try
[15:48] <hipy> HannibalWagner on ubuntu server?
[15:48] <alket> furuno, doesn;t work

[15:50] <hipy> red2kic you have to compile your self. But the leak was that you could excecute anycommand from irc, with the user levle it hasd been started with and some tard started it under root
[15:51] <alket> furuno, i have installed burg and i changed ubuntu logo which displays in boot, now it isn't appearing anymore

[15:57] <Tao> I'm trying to upgrade my hard drive from a 13 gig to a 40 gig. Can anyone help me?
[15:57] <VilasBoas> Hi has anyone been able to install ARTooKit????
[15:57] <ikonia> Tao: ok - what's the problem
[15:57] <ikonia> VilasBoas: is that a package in the repo
[15:57]  * Dr_Willis upgraded from a 300gb to a 1.5tb :)
[15:57] <madmax_X> any networking experts in today?
[15:57] <Tao> Awesome
[15:57] <ikonia> madmax_X: ask your question
[15:58] <sangxin> hgfhfghg
[15:58] <madmax_X> hello room...i got a complicated question for yall
[15:58] <madmax_X>  i have 2 lans 10.29.x.x and 172.16.x.x i want to be able to join them when the 2 vehicles are together
[15:58] <madmax_X>  they both run dhcp servers and have their own wan
[15:58] <madmax_X>  i want to join them with a single cat5 cable
[15:58] <madmax_X>  i put a router inbetween and they talk fine as long as laptop 1 pulls its address from the dd-wrt dhcp server...other computers on truck1lan cannon access truck 2 computers
[15:58] <FloodBot1> madmax_X: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> I just did a clean install to the 1.5tb and pointed /home to be on the other hd.
[15:58] <Tao> ikonia: I'm trying to copy all of the data from the 13 gig and transfer it over to the 40 gig. That way, I don't lose any of my stuff
[15:58] <furuno> ew
[15:58] <ikonia> Tao: sounds sensible
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> Tao:  gvie some more details.. laptop? desktop?
[15:59] <Tao> Dr_Willis: Desktop. Running Lucid
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> Tao:  plug in both hds and use them both. :)
[15:59] <ikonia> Tao: do you have a plan in mind or is that what you are looking for ?
[15:59] <holmser_> I just set up my openvpn server so I can tunnel my internet connection away from the prying eyes of my IT guy with a god complex
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> Tao:  cloning one hd to the other isent that hard if you wanted to.. but  you could just move /home to the 40gb.
[15:59] <VilasBoas> ikonia: there is a repository for that ppa:artoolkit/ppa the package is artoolkit-dev
[15:59] <ikonia> holmser_: ok ? and
[16:00] <holmser_> the client is connected now
[16:00] <ikonia> VilasBoas: contact that PPA's owner for support on that
[16:00] <madmax_X> Tao can you hook both drives up in the same computer? if so dd will copy the drive to the other and you'll just have to resize the new drive's partition
[16:00] <holmser_> does it automatically tunnel my web traffic through?
[16:00] <Tao> ikonia and Dr_Willis: I'll probably just do a clean install and move /home
[16:00] <holmser_> because my IP is still showing up as the work IP
[16:00] <ikonia> holmser_: depends how you set it up , only you can answer that
[16:00] <ikonia> Tao: that's a good approach
[16:00] <Bisu[Shield]> how do i see the ports used by apache
[16:00] <holmser_> how would I check/ set it up to tunnel all web traffic?
[16:01] <holmser_> I can't seem to find a good tut
[16:01] <furuno> Bisu[Shield]: usually it should be 80
[16:01] <ikonia> Bisu[Shield]: netstat -a | grep LIST, or look in the config file, it's normally 80 and 443
[16:01] <ikonia> holmser_: there are plenty of tunneling turorials on the web
[16:02] <madmax_X>  i have 2 lans 10.29.x.x and 172.16.x.x i want to be able to join them when the 2 vehicles are together they both run dhcp servers and have their own wan  i want to join them with a single cat5 cable i put a router inbetween and they talk fine as long as laptop 1 pulls its address from the dd-wrt dhcp server...other computers on truck1lan cannon access truck 2 computers
[16:02] <Tao> Alright. I'm shutting down the computer and I'm going to start it back up and do a clean install
[16:02] <ikonia> madmax_X: so you need to setup your router properly
[16:02] <ikonia> madmax_X: they are two seperate networks so routing needs to be setup correctly
[16:03] <madmax_X> i have 2 routers...the ddwrt is only goin to act as a bridge
[16:03] <wyq> iptables
[16:03] <frxstrem> is there a program for creating MIDI files in the Ubuntu repos?
[16:03] <holmser_> I've been searching for almost an hour and can't seem to find a tut
[16:03] <ikonia> madmax_X: ok - then it's not setup correctly
[16:03] <holmser_> openvpn http tunnel tutorial isn't getting any good hits
[16:03] <madmax_X> im on the right track though right?
[16:03] <furuno> frxstrem: it's actually not supposed to be a MIDI maker, but I often use TuxGuitar
[16:03] <Bisu[Shield]> thanks
[16:03] <ikonia> madmax_X: it should be a simple config on the router
[16:03] <jmartin> .
[16:04] <madmax_X> ikonia, can i pm?
[16:04] <sapersi> will cool edit pro or cubase work with wine?
[16:04] <sapersi> also FL5
[16:04] <ikonia> madmax_X: ok
[16:04] <ikonia> sapersi: certainly not, real time programs like cubase would be a bad call through wine
[16:04] <furuno> sapersi: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[16:05] <sapersi> ikonia: thank you
[16:05] <sapersi> furuno: also
[16:05] <XFGoldenBBL> Think I'll pickup an HTC EVO today .. looks better specc'd than the incredible
[16:06] <XFGoldenBBL> even though just slightly
[16:06] <ikonia> XFGoldenBBL: try that sort of conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:06] <ikonia> XFGoldenBBL: this is #ubuntu - for Ubuntu support only, please.
[16:07] <anirvana> Docteh : updating didn't work :(
[16:07] <holmser_> if I am tunneling through successfully, my ip should show up as my home networks, and not my work comp's, correct?
[16:08] <Docteh> did it error out?
[16:08] <anirvana> Docteh : my initrd file for 22 is 7.5 mb big
[16:08] <ikonia> holmser_: it depends on how it's setup
[16:08] <anirvana> Docteh : nope
[16:09] <sapersi> i just installed 10.04 and my mp3's will not play in rhythmbox, which plugin do i need?
[16:09] <resno> ive tried tunneling but i can only see sites hosted on that machine, not the acutal internet
[16:09] <furuno> sapersi: try this in terminal "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[16:09] <anirvana> Docteh : grub.cfg : http://pastebin.mozilla.org/735664
[16:10] <sapersi> furuno: you're everywhere, like my own personal kgb agent hell yeah thanks
[16:10] <jmartin> .
[16:11] <furuno> sapersi: no, it's just that I'm accidentally here
[16:11] <sapersi> furuno: thanks regardless
[16:11] <furuno> sapersi: no problem
[16:11] <redalert_> is ther a way to automatically select a signature when sending an email in evolution ?

[16:16] <sirlark> Hi, I have installed bugzilla3 and it works, sort of. It asks for the password every page load when I need to be logged in. Bugzilla is served from /cgi-bin/bugzilla3/whatever.cgi, but it's setting cookies for /bugzilla, which means the session cookie isn't being sent by the browser. Any idea how to fix this?
[16:16] <blue_anna> well I'm just going to guess
[16:16] <resno> sirlark: do you have cookies set on?
[16:17] <Docteh> anirvana: I'm wondering why its booting a loop device
[16:17] <[new]buntu> yo
[16:18] <Entung> hy all....
[16:18] <sirlark> resno: I do, other sites work fine, and I've confirmed using firebug that bugzilla is in fact setting the cookie, that's also how I found out the cookie was being set for a slightly different path
[16:19] <Entung> how to install yahoo massanger in to ubuntu ??
[16:19] <jmartin> why 7?
[16:19] <Dr_Willis> !im | Entung
[16:19] <furuno> Entung: you've already got it, it's called Empathy
[16:19] <jmartin> and 7.04 or 7.10
[16:20] <furuno> Entung: or for better experience (IMO), try installing pidgin
[16:20] <Dr_Willis> Entung:  if you mean the official yahoo messenger client - i dont think they have an official linux one any more. You have to use some 3rd party clients
[16:20] <anirvana> Docteh : any solution?
[16:20] <[new]buntu> Bye ^^
[16:21] <natschil> Hello. I am currently running lucid with pulseaudio. However, I would also like to try out some music editing apps etc that require jack, and it hasn't really been working (jack crashes before I do anything)... I suspect it may be because pulseaudio is running. Is it therefore possible (and quite easy) to run jackd and pulseaudio simultaneously and how?

[16:28] <resno> Veliouras: it could be either your router or network card
[16:29] <Veliouras> resno: how can i solve it? because it started with ubuntu 10, with 9 everything was ok
[16:30] <resno> Veliouras: in that case, it may be a bad driver. have you checked the restricted drivers?
[16:31] <Veliouras> resno: no, could u tell me how?

[16:40] <theadmin> While ordering the CD on shipit, should I use my native spelling or english transliteration for the adress?

[16:42] <thune3> zeev: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[16:42] <theadmin> Pici: The english one then, russian spelling wouldn't work for international I guess
[16:42] <Pici> theadmin: Yeah, probably.
[16:42] <teurastaja> where is xorg.conf? on freebsd its /etc/X11/xorg.conf but now im fucked
[16:42] <Pici> teurastaja: Please mind your language here.
[16:43] <fasta> I would not underestimate the stupidity of postal services.
[16:43] <thune3> teurastaja: unless you add options, ubuntu does without by default.
[16:43] <theadmin> teurastaja: xorg.conf is not created by default, you have to create it manually.
[16:43] <erUSUL> teurastaja: modern xorg do not need a xorg.conf but it is followed if present
[16:43] <teurastaja> X -configure?
[16:43] <erUSUL> teurastaja: yep
[16:44] <teurastaja> how does it do without it?
[16:44] <ben__> This may be a stupid question, but is it possible and easy to totally duplicate my xubuntu system to install on another laptop?
[16:44] <teurastaja> and does xorg detect xorg.conf at startup if its placed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

[16:44] <ChogyDan> !clone | ben__
[16:44] <maco> teurastaja: if its there, itll use it, but if its not there, itll autoconfigure
[16:45] <theadmin> ben__: Remastersys allows for making bootable ISO copies of the current system, is that what you're looking for? You may as well just clone tha partition though
[16:45] <teurastaja> lets make  a major xorg.conf clean up!

[16:47] <teurastaja> ben_: i think theres a utility for this under system -administration but ive never used it
[16:47] <webPragmatist> how can i use aptitude to remove stuff
[16:47] <webPragmatist> including dependencies
[16:48] <nibbler> ben__, you can do a real copy, google for "hard disk upgrade mini howto" or you can get a list of installed packages and pipe those to aptitude later on
[16:48] <nibbler> webPragmatist, aptitude remove gnome  <-- to remove gnome and all dependencies
[16:48] <webPragmatist> nibbler: hrmm that doesn't seem to remove libraries though?
[16:48] <cdcdcdc> swap question: i changed my partitions and moved my swap partition - now swapon -s shows swap use at zero. I have tons of apps open to test, but still zero. i've been having random freeze ups using pitivi. could swap be the problem?
[16:49] <LjL> webPragmatist: if you didn't install them using aptitude, no. also, if there's some other package using them, it won't remove them.
[16:49] <BluesKaj> teurastaja, you may want to check this site , it's quite helpful for xorg.conf , http://ubuntulinux.co.in/blog/ubuntu/ubuntu-9-10/xorg-conf-file-create-on-ubuntu-9-10/
[16:49] <webPragmatist> LjL: well the problem is i did apt-get install pacemaker… and apt-get remove pacemaker doesn't remove it's dependncies
[16:49] <LjL> webPragmatist: try apt-get autoremove pacemaker.
[16:49] <nibbler> webPragmatist, they might be needed by other software.
[16:49] <jpds> webPragmatist: Try: apt-get autoremove

[16:50] <e-DIO-t> shiftingcontrol: windows.
[16:50] <theadmin> solidturtle: Use either Ubuntu-Tweak or gdm2setup
[16:50] <webPragmatist> i dunno that didn't work either
[16:50] <webPragmatist> but i just uninstalled pacemaker and heartbeat and that worked
[16:50] <solidturtle> theadmin, thx
[16:50] <shiftingcontrol> e-DIO-t:i need alternate in linux
[16:50] <nibbler> cdcdcdc, lack of ram/swap results in forced closing of "random" applications and you will notice a very very slow system before that happens

[16:51] <cdcdcdc> nibbler: that is exactly what I am experiencing. first things stop responding, ie chromium tabs, pitivi stuff, then system stuff, then total freeze

[16:52] <e-DIO-t> welll: there's o "alternate" to photoshop
[16:52] <e-DIO-t> obviously IMHO
[16:52] <D347H-C0D3> hi gys....I am trying to start my tftp server using command /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa start but it wont show any response. Neither /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa status wont show anything
[16:52] <BluesKaj> teurastaja, which graphics card do you have?
[16:52] <cdcdcdc> nibbler: the thing is, i don't know if it is normal for swap -s to show zero use or not
[16:52] <e-DIO-t> D347H-C0D3: what about ps aux | grep tftpd?
[16:53] <shoopdawoop> cdcdcdc: maybe you have faulty ram. you could test it with memtest86
[16:53] <nibbler> cdcdcdc, use free -m
[16:53] <D347H-C0D3> here is the output root      4533  0.0  0.1   3336   780 pts/0    S+   21:23   0:00 grep tftpd
[16:53] <nibbler> cdcdcdc, and see what it tells about your swap
[16:53] <anirvana> piko , DO you have any solution to panic kernel problem?
[16:54] <teurastaja> antic stuff: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200]
[16:54] <D347H-C0D3> e-DIO-t: here is the output root      4533  0.0  0.1   3336   780 pts/0    S+   21:23   0:00 grep tftpd
[16:54] <e-DIO-t> !paste
[16:54] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: thing is, i made some changes to partitions and changed swap in fstab, so i feel like i could have messed up something - this is a brand new machine so i don't know - but i will try
[16:54] <nibbler> D347H-C0D3, tftpd is often started via (x)inetd
[16:54] <e-DIO-t> btw: so, there's no tftpd in execution
[16:54] <somekool> do not accept kernel upgrade if you are using LUKS !!!
[16:54] <e-DIO-t> ah
[16:54] <nibbler> cdcdcdc, output of free?
[16:54] <theadmin> somekool: LUKS?
[16:55] <D347H-C0D3> e-DIO-t: i configured the inetd.conf file
[16:55] <cdcdcdc> nibbler: http://paste.ubuntu.com/450150/
[16:55] <teurastaja> the graphics card is barely doing its work im thankful its not mine though mine is not that much better lol
[16:55] <nibbler> cdcdcdc, you have swap activated, so i'd say it should be used. did you change the swappiness ofthe system?
[16:56] <D347H-C0D3> e-DIO-t:tftp           dgram   udp     wait    root  /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot          this is the configuration i wrote
[16:56] <cdcdcdc> nibbler: i don't think so
[16:58] <nibbler> cdcdcdc, you have 3GB free anyway, so its no suprise no swap is used...
[16:58] <cdcdcdc> nibbler: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness   == 0
[16:58] <e-DIO-t> what if you try to connect to tftp port through nc D347H-C0D3?
[16:58] <cdcdcdc> nibbler: hmm, so i guess the freeziness is caused by something else
[16:59] <nibbler> mhm
[16:59] <e-DIO-t> [anyway, tftp should be "denied" :P ]
[16:59] <D347H-C0D3> e-DIO-t: i havent tried it
[16:59] <e-DIO-t> btw
[16:59] <shoopdawoop> swappiness of 0 is kinda low :P
[16:59] <D347H-C0D3> e-DIO-t: and i dont knw how to
[16:59] <e-DIO-t> D347H-C0D3: you need tftp, or you need to transfer files?!
[17:00] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: low means...lots of swap or little swap
[17:00] <e-DIO-t> 'cause if your need is file transfer: scp is the one for you, secure, speedy...and you can event configure rsa autologin through AllowedKeys, guess.
[17:01] <ninjai> how can I force a time update with ubuntu server 8.04 via command line???
[17:01] <duffydack> I set my swappines to 10.  default is 60 and after 2gig used I get around 50mb swap used.. so i set it to 0 and it uses nearly all 4gig ram before swap used
[17:01] <e-DIO-t> D347H-C0D3: well, i don't remember which is the UDP port of tftp
[17:01] <e-DIO-t> by the way you can take a look to "netstat -l" to see which local ports are in listen mode
[17:01] <natschil> Is it possible to run pulseaudio and jack simultaneously? (and how)
[17:01] <duffydack> with plymouth and such making boot faster, is there any point in using 'profile' on boot
[17:02] <e-DIO-t> and...whatever, i'm leaving office so ...eventually i'll give you a bit support in an hour and "some more".
[17:02] <e-DIO-t> zai jian
[17:02] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[17:02] <e-DIO-t> Zai Jian
[17:03] <cdcdcdc> duffydack: i see, so that would explain zero swap being used.  i guess the only thing to do is try to max out RAM and see if that changes it
[17:03] <Xylios> ninjai: You want to sync time with an NTP server?
[17:05] <theadmin> ...what the heck? Did a floodbot just call... a factoid? o_O
[17:05] <LjL> theadmin: quite so.
[17:06] <shoopdawoop> cdcdcdc: sorry got disconnected. in case you missed my answer check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[17:06] <duffydack> cdcdcdc,  ubuntu recommend swappiness 10 (even tho its 60 by default)
[17:06] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: thanks. just got there and was reading it. thnx
[17:07] <Pitivie> Bonsoir
[17:07] <cdcdcdc> duffydack: i did do that, still opening apps trying to max out ram
[17:07] <duffydack> when I said I set to 0 earlier, it was a typo, I set to 10 :)
[17:08] <ubutom_> theadmin, the bots are taking over, harr
[17:08] <ninjai> Xylios: yes.
[17:08] <duffydack> cdcdcdc, I have a few vm`s for that task :)
[17:08] <hagabaka> why can't apt-get and aptitude be more compatible?
[17:09] <mib_e5a24u> how can i stream audio through mplayer filter (-af)??
[17:09] <mib_e5a24u> i have the filter, just don't know how to run mplayer to get audio from audio in jack, and pass it through filter, to speakers
[17:09] <Trilobit> Hi everyone. Trying ubuntu 10.4 on an older machine (AMD K6-3) and neither my serial mouse nor old DIN keyboard work. Is it even possible to get this to work?
[17:10] <ninjai> Xylios: nvm, i fixed it.  Ubuntu server didn't have ntp on it so I installed it and updated and it worked :D
[17:10] <Trilobit> (I just booted the live CD)
[17:10] <webPragmatist> hey guys… the tutorial i am using says run "logfile /var/log/ha-log"
[17:10] <webPragmatist> what's "logfile"
[17:10] <shoopdawoop> cdcdcdc: you could use a tmpfs (which is a ramdisk) for your /tmp/ folder. it will increase your system perfomance and you can very easily fill up your ram by copying files into /tmp/ :)
[17:10] <unop> hagabaka, what do you mean?
[17:10] <webPragmatist> it says alternatively run sed -e 's/#logfile*/logfile/' /usr/share/doc/heartbeat/logd.cf > /etc/logd.cf
[17:11] <webPragmatist> do i have to install logd?
[17:11] <webPragmatist> or something
[17:12] <hagabaka> unop: they don't share the manuall installed marks, and don't resolve conflicts the same way
[17:12] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: ooh, that sounds like more fun than opening every program in my applications menu, but i'm not sure if i know how
[17:12] <cdcdcdc> duffydack: is that the trick? i don't have any
[17:12] <ABchanda> any one who can advice me on dual boot with xp
[17:12] <blockcold> how can i install httpd ?
[17:13] <unop> hagabaka, yes, a bit like wanting a tractor and a truck to do the same thing.  Debian recommends using aptitude while ubuntu seemed to recommend apt-get. Pick one and use it is what I'd say.
[17:13] <shoopdawoop> cdcdcdc: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1624 - solution #2
[17:13] <WJW> ABchanda:  Sometimes it works.
[17:13] <Trilobit> ABchanda: Probably...? what's your problem?
[17:13] <ABchanda> well i'm downloading ubuntu
[17:13] <shoopdawoop> cdcdcdc: also you need to log out of your desktop and rm -rf /tmp/ then reboot
[17:14] <blockcold> hello
[17:14] <blockcold> how can i install httpd ?
[17:14] <ABchanda> so next step would be to install but in dual boot mode
[17:14] <natschil> Somehow jack does not give me any output sound, and I cannot kill pulseaudio...any suggestions as to how to fix these two problems?
[17:14] <cdcdcdc> ok, i've opened everything and still a gig down. must say i'm impressed
[17:14] <WJW> blockcold:  Apache serves http.
[17:15]  * JPP is away: Work
[17:15] <blockcold> WJW:
[17:15] <hagabaka> unop: It's OK for them to have differences, but when dealing with the same tasks and settings, it would be better to be consistent. Imagine if they each used different dependencies or even package installed/uninstalled status
[17:15] <Trilobit> ABchanda: Ubuntu setup gives you the opportunity to install in a way that leaves your xp installation intact and adds an entry to the GRUB boot menu.
[17:15] <blockcold> but itcan't open vim/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
[17:16] <hagabaka> I think that's less of a slippery slow than "asking trucks and tractors to do the same thing"
[17:16] <RunnerGeek> blockcold, what error does it give?
[17:16] <WJW> blockcold: Sounds like a configuration file.  Maybe you have to set it up.
[17:16] <paket> hi
[17:17] <RunnerGeek> blockcold, there should be a space between vim and the file path
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> or else he typoed the line he pasted. :)
[17:17] <RunnerGeek> maybe
[17:17] <RunnerGeek> thus why I asked what the error was
[17:17] <Waldsen> hello, could someone help me install Java so I can use Java applets in Firefox?
[17:17] <ABchanda> thanks trilobit
[17:18] <Trilobit> ABchanda: no prob.
[17:18] <unop> hagabaka, well, that's exactly what they do differently -- but it's very rare to see aptitude bring in a different set of dependencies. Usually, it's just a case of aptitude succeeding where apt-get fails to resolve some difficult dependency problem.
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> Waldsen:  i think i just installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and i saw it install java a few min ago.
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> Waldsen:  or install it manually,.
[17:19] <WJW> Waldsen:  Suggest u see which Java Virtual Machine (JVM) the package recommendations for openoffice.org suggest.
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> !java
[17:19] <jits1998> hi guys.. i am back .. will i get to send messages now ?
[17:19] <bintut> /me waves
[17:19] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: i'll try that next. for now i'm editing in pititvi with every app i have open. i think i can see what is happening as pititiv adds a couple mb to ram (free -m) every time  i do something
[17:19] <Trilobit> Hi all: I just bootet the Ubuntu 10.4 live CD on my old AMD K6-3 machine and neither my serial logitech mouse nor old keyboard with DIN connector work. Is there a way to change this?
[17:19] <jits1998> looks like ... we run a training institute and need a nfs + ldap authentication setup for ubuntu .. we have around 200 users ..
[17:19] <jits1998> . please point me to a documentation i can follow as a newbie ... and what kind of hardware server will be needed .. Thanks!!
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> !nfs
[17:20] <shoopdawoop> cdcdcdc: good luck :) but even if you figure out the problem, I would still create the tmpfs for /tmp/, it just makes so much sense if you got the ram and it's a pitty ubuntu doesn't do it by default
[17:20] <hagabaka> unop: For marking manually installed packages, I see no reason why they shouldn't just share the same marks. For dependency resolution, it would also be better if they could merge the benefits of each algorithm
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> a newbie setting up a system for 200+ users? thats scary
[17:21] <tucemiux> how do you add the current directory to your path in .bashrc ?
[17:21] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: thanks! i have bookmarked and will definitely give that a try although i don't understand it at the moment
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> tucemiux:  thats not a good habbit to do..   but you can 'export PATH=$PATH:.'
[17:21]  * [gnubie] waves
[17:21] <Waldsen> thanks!
[17:22] <dotnetted> hey all - My MySQL-Server-5.1 installation is corrupted and I need to fully remove it and reinstall - Every time I try to remove it and install Synaptic hangs and the package installation becomes corrupted so I have to purge/manually remove everything and play around until it lets me install again - The installer hangs every time after failing to set the MySQL root password - any suggestions? thanks
[17:22] <[gnubie]> anyone cares to help me with my problem regarding the crashing adobe flashplugin? kindly check http://is.gd/cQmoF
[17:22] <tucemiux> Dr_Willis, why is it not a good habit?  what if you write scripts and dont want to want to have to type "./" all the time?  Also, I want to add /home/tucemiux/bin to the path
[17:22] <jits1998> Dr_Willis: is the link for me ?
[17:23] <WJW> Waldsen:  Hmm.  I have icedtea-6-jre-cacao .  Not sure whether that's the right choice for you or not.
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> tucemiux:  if you have a lot of scripts put them in your /home/username/bin dir.. and  they will be in the default path
[17:23] <sno> dotnetted: try from the command line, it might give more information as to what is going wrong. pastebin would be useful to see
[17:23] <unop> hagabaka, well, that's always going to be unix for you. different tools doing similar jobs differently - but each with its pros and cons. personally i use aptitude for the usual things and apt-get for what aptitude doesn't provide.
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> tucemiux:  ages ago i managed to make a script called 'ls'  in my own dir. a friend was checking out my files.. and managed to run my script.. that promptly reset his password.. :)
[17:23] <unperson> Having some apt- trouble.  I have an old package A installed.  I tried to install package B, but one of the files it contains is supposed to have the same path as a file from package A.  I want to remove A and then install B, how do I do this?
[17:24] <FabParma> on a phisical machine Ubuntu 10.04 lst is unable to detect a crt display model (Samsung SyncMaster 753 DFX) the strange is that monitor is not very new. Any idea? At the moment Ubuntu says: Unkonow monitor
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> tucemiux:  security is very much 'practice and habbits' as it is anything else.
[17:24] <tucemiux> Dr_Willis, I have to add /home/tucemiux/bin to the path though, it doesnt get added automatically
[17:24] <unop> hagabaka, i believe it was also ubuntu policy sometime ago to not mix using apt-get and aptitude.
[17:24] <Waldsen> WJW: I heard that the default Java for Ubuntu was something called cacao, but I already installed Sun Java so thanks anyway
[17:24] <[gnubie]> the last part of http://is.gd/cQmoF is my actual problem
[17:24] <unperson> Right now, apt won't let me remove A until I resolve the situation with B (which is a dependence from another package).
[17:24] <dotnetted> sno: right now MySQL seems to be installed properly and can be run with "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &" from the command line - is there a way to get apt-get to understand it's installed properly and stop trying to finish the installation every time I do anything w/ synaptic?
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> tucemiux:  err. It definatly DOES get added automatically here..  its in the default bash configs to do so.
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> tucemiux:  you DO need to logout/backin or start a new terminal to get the script to see/do the adding of the bin to the path however
[17:25] <dae1> hey, so i have an installation issue
[17:25] <sno> dotnetted: apt knows what its doing very well, i would suggest working out why its trying to do things first
[17:25] <FabParma> what tool to detect and configure the *right monitor*?
[17:26] <dae1> (i am super new to ubuntu - i was raised on microsoft and .NET, trying to branch out)
[17:26] <tucemiux> Dr_Willis, I guess it does get added automatically, I didnt realize that, thanks for the tip, so I should add "." to the path then ?
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> tucemiux:  last 3 lines of ~/.profile do it
[17:26] <Tao> Alright. I attempted to do a clean install on my other hard drive with the intentions of moving /home from my current hard drive over to it once I was done. Unfortunately, when I switched the hard drives and booted it up, it gave me an error message, something about "No file found" and then it had "grub rescue>" below it. Thats all that happened and I'm a bit confused. Any help?
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> tucemiux:  if its in bin. its in the default path
[17:26] <dotnetted> sno: thanks for the help - I'm going to remove mysql-server-5.1 and all log/conf dirs and start from scratch in the command line to catch the errors
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> tucemiux:  same as any opther commands.. I must have 300+ commands/scripts/things in my bin
[17:26] <aristotale> salve
[17:26] <tucemiux> dae1, whatever issue you have feel free to ask -- all on ***one*** line --- otherwise you will lose a lot of people
[17:27] <steev> hey all, I've removed some software using System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager - its still leaving the menu entries around though - how do I punt those so my menu doesn't list the entries anymore
[17:27] <sno> dotnetted: tell us what commands you are typing, maybe you are missing a mysql-common package (that holds the configs)
[17:27] <JuicyLucy> just use main menu from system-preferences and remove the entries that way
[17:27] <WJW> steev:  I think there's an explicit remove right on the menu.  Try right-clicking.
[17:27] <unperson> steev, That's weird that it left them.  You can edit the menu by right clicking on it and selecting "edit menu"
[17:27] <dotnetted> sno: what's the best way to fully remove the mysql-server-5.1 package after dpkg failed the last install?
[17:27] <FabParma> how make recognize a monitor to Ubuntu 10.04 LST?
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> steev:  its possible you just need to log out/back in also
[17:28] <FabParma> on a phisical machine Ubuntu 10.04 lst is unable to detect a crt display model (Samsung SyncMaster 753 DFX) the strange is that monitor is not very new. Any idea? At the moment Ubuntu says: Unkonow monitor
[17:28] <sno> dotnetted: show us the pastebin/output of this command to see what is wrong exactly, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude reinstall mysql-server-5.1
[17:28] <FabParma> what tool to detect and configure the *right monitor*?
[17:28] <tucemiux> Dr_Willis, youre right, it's declared in .profile, Ive been using ubuntu all this time but never bother looking at .profile, Ive typically only touched .bashrc but I guess Im going to be looking at .profile more nowadays, thanks for the tip !
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> FabParma:  ubuntu says unknown monitor where exactly?
[17:29] <Tao> Alright. I attempted to do a clean install on my other hard drive with the intentions of moving /home from my current hard drive over to it once I was done. Unfortunately, when I switched the hard drives and booted it up, it gave me an error message, something about "No file found" and then it had "grub rescue>" below it. Thats all that happened and I'm a bit confused. Any help?
[17:29] <FabParma> Dr_Willis: exacty
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> tucemiux:  they have recently moved from using .bash_profile to .profile I think also. :)
[17:29] <FabParma> exactly
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> FabParma:  ubuntu says unknown monitor where exactly?   <--------- WHERE AT does it say this 'unknown monitor' ? terminal window? some config? some log?
[17:29] <dotnetted> sno: http://pastebin.com/sdVyvBGR (after the update) -- it hangs on the last line
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> Does it beep it out in morse code? :)
[17:29] <Trilobit> Ok, pulling the keyboard out and plugging it back in did the trick for the keyboard (driver buggy?) But my serial mouse still doesn't work. Wasn't 10.4 supposed to have support for serial port?
[17:30] <erUSUL> dotnetted: FabParma guess it is System>Prefes...>display
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> Serial Port = old skool :)
[17:30] <sno> dotnetted: is this a fresh mysql install, or do you have existing databases? you can check process usage with "top" or "atop" which won't be installed but may give more i/o info. Is the CPU at 100% while its trying to "set up mysql-server" ?
[17:30] <less> My 10.4 laptop supports serial.
[17:30] <Trilobit> Dr_Willis: Yea, but I just have one USB on this old thing...
[17:31] <FabParma> Dr_Willis: it say only 'unknown monitor' in the monitor configuration gui
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> Trilobit:  its possible you might need to load a proper module.  My PS2 mice have worked.. but ive not even touched an actual serial port mouse in years
[17:31] <Tao> Alright. I attempted to do a clean install on my other hard drive with the intentions of moving /home from my current hard drive over to it once I was done. Unfortunately, when I switched the hard drives and booted it up, it gave me an error message, something about "No file found" and then it had "grub rescue>" below it. Thats all that happened and I'm a bit confused. Any help?
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> FabParma:  thats just the 'name/brand' its trying to determina. that dosent really mean much of anything.
[17:31] <Trilobit> less: Also mice?
[17:31] <FabParma> erUSUL: yes, exactly
[17:31] <jpds>  /12
[17:31] <[gnubie]> anyone on this? => http://is.gd/cQmoF
[17:31] <dotnetted> sno: CPU is at 15% - checking for existing databases now
[17:31] <less> Trildbit: sorry, no idea (but it's RS232 alright).
[17:32] <unop> tucemiux, Dr_Willis, .bash_profile and .profile do different things tho - with regards to bash login shells, it prefers the former and sources it if it exists and only sources the latter if the former is unavailable.
[17:32] <Trilobit> Dr_Willis: Hrm. How would I do this with the live CD?
[17:32] <FabParma> Dr_Willis:  w/o that setting Ubuntu wont chanhe to the right resolution.
[17:32] <dotnetted> sno: /var/lib/mysql is populated with the mysql database only - no previous databases
[17:32] <cdcdcdc> duffydack: still around? what do you make of this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/450160/   with swappiness at 10
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> Trilobit:  sudo modprobe SOMEMODULE  (no i dont know the name)
[17:32] <sno> dotnetted: strange, maybe try a aptitude purge mysql-server-5.1 mysql-common but MAKE SURE you have your databases/mysql config is backed up as this will delete configurations
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> FabParma:   its possible for you to have a 'unknown monitor' and still have proper screen display. the name dosent mean much. its the actual settings that matter.  What is your video card?
[17:33] <Trilobit> Dr_Willis: K, thanks. Will try to figure this out.
[17:33] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: swappiness at 10, maxed out ram minus 30 mb, still swap used at zero - something's wrong eh?
[17:33] <FabParma> Dr_Willis: nvidia installed with 3d part drivers
[17:34] <Tao> Alright. I attempted to do a clean install on my other hard drive with the intentions of moving /home from my current hard drive over to it once I was done. Unfortunately, when I switched the hard drives and booted it up, it gave me an error message, something about "No file found" and then it had "grub rescue>" below it. Thats all that happened and I'm a bit confused. Any help?
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Trilobit:  its possible the serial port moduiles are built in also.. and i may be totally wrong. :)
[17:34] <dae1> Alright, bear with me because I'm super new... so first I tried installing Ubuntu from a burned .iso.

[17:34] <duffydack> cdcdcdc, i think (i dont know much about the inner workings of memory/swap) but looks like most of the usage is buffers
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Trilobit:  perhaps --> sudo modprobe sermouse
[17:35] <dt84> hi. I'm using 10.04, and I'm trying to connect a S-Video cable to see my desktop on an old CRT TV. I have GeForce 6150, and it seems as if the S-Video isn't recognized or something like that. That's what I'm seeing in System -> Administrator -> NVIDIA X Server Settings http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/4561/screenshotnvidiaxserver.png
[17:35] <duffydack> cdcdcdc, if your question is why is there no swap used.. I have got mine to 3.7gig used (actually used in vm`s) and swap kicked in for a massive 6mb :)
[17:35] <sno> dae1: you will need to update the bootloader config to use the same option you used to successfully boot ubuntu from livecd. Are you using 10.04 ?
[17:35] <shoopdawoop> cdcdcdc: what happens if you do #sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=100
[17:35] <dae1> Yes I am using 10.04. How do I update the bootloader config?
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> Tao:  you installed THEN moved the hd's ?
[17:36] <tucemiux> dae1, what machine are you using?  Sounds like a known bug, if you havent been to the forums I suggest you familiarize yourself with it, it looks like there is a bug specific only to your machine, most likely youll a lot of information there, like me for example, im one unlucky one and my sound card works flaky with ubuntu on my laptop
[17:36] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: still zero - how long should i have to wait for that to work?
[17:36] <Tao> Dr_Willis: No, it won't even install. I checked the CD on another computer and it worked.
[17:36] <hagabaka> is there an easy way to remove all kernel packages except the most recent few?
[17:36] <sno> dae1: to start with, check the documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> Tao:  clarify the problem a bit.. somtjhing seems odd in your earlier astatement.
[17:36] <dotnetted> sno: I dont care to preserve the old data/configs -- I just ran "aptitude purge mysql-server-5.1 mysql-common" successfully - should I attempt the reinstall now with "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude reinstall mysql-server-5.1"?
[17:37] <shoopdawoop> cdcdcdc: not sure. I would guess the effect should be more or less instantly
[17:37] <sno> dae1: it requires editing a file and updating grub by a command, then it will be saved for that particular kernel (unless you update them all)
[17:37] <sno> dotnetted: yep sounds good
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> Tao:  it almost sounds like the HD is booting not the cd.. and it has some old linux on it.
[17:37] <Trilobit> Dr_Willis: serial support seems to be compiled into the kernel. Just found this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto Unfortunately it needs some fiddling with xorg.conf -_-
[17:37] <dae1> Ah. I guess I was asking some silly questions lol. Thanks everyone
[17:38] <FabParma> Dr_Willis: an example. if i set 800x600 or 1024x768 eveythinh is ok. but when i change to 1152x864 Ubuntu accepts the setting but it cant fit the wole moinitor area, i get a frame black all around
[17:38] <kermit> how can i downgrade firefox? 3.6.3 keeps erasing my form history.
[17:38] <Tao> Dr_Willis: I tried to run DBAN (Boot and Nuke) to completely wipe the hard drive, but it displayed the same message. Its as if no CD is being read.
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> Trilobit:  may be time to find a cheap usb hub. :)
[17:38] <WJW> dae1:  Not silly and I hope you get around it.
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> FabParma:  that sounds like the monitor cant handle it.. so its doing that.. or the refresh rate is wrong.. or the monitor settings need to be tweaked.. You said it was a CRT monitor?
[17:38] <Trilobit> Dr_Willis: Maybe... But I think I'll just try Windows XP instead for now. :p *ducks*
[17:39] <dotnetted> sno: "mysql-server-5.1 is not currently installed, so it will not be reinstalled." - I assume I should just do "aptitude install mysql-server-5.1" right?
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> I dont even think i have a serial mouse in my rather Large collection of mice any more. :)
[17:39] <FabParma> Dr_Willis:  Yes Samsung SyncMaster 753 DFX
[17:39] <sno> dotnetted: sorry yes, "install" not "reinstall" correct
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> Im glad ive finally gotten rid of all my old CRT and other old stuff >:)
[17:40] <biigg> hi all
[17:40] <biigg> I have a questionon ubuntu
[17:41] <FabParma> Dr_Willis: so the problem it the CRT? strange because old HW should easier to get "driver"
[17:41] <Rigorm0rtis> biigg: You don't need to ask to ask a question, go ahead. :)
[17:41] <Trilobit> I still have a rather large collection of old Hardware. Also some nice pieces like a king sized SoundBlaster AWE32. =] ... and also lots of old Keyboards (even DIN ones) and serial mice...
[17:41] <erUSUL> !ask | biigg
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> FabParma:  thats not logical. :) windows 7 no longer has the druivers for my 15 yr old printer i noticed.. :)
[17:41] <dotnetted> sno: it seemed to install properly and when prompted I left the root password blank - "mysql -uroot" is giving me permission denied now
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> FabParma:  with monitors its often not a matter of 'drivers'   sounds like it  IS working.. but you may need to twiddle with the knobs at the higher res.
[17:42] <sno> dotnetted: then it sounds like it worked fine, it reset the password so now you can set one yourself, check the ubuntu documentation on mysql
[17:42] <biigg> is there a way you can get into windows thru ubuntu with out installing it on the hard drive
[17:42] <brfelipe> Im thinking about installing Ubuntu on my laptop. should i get the desktop version or the netbook version (my laptop is not really a netbook, thats why the question)
[17:43] <dotnetted> sno: thanks for the help - I don't know how I didn't figure this out earlier ;)
[17:43] <dt84> i guess my question just got neglected from all the messages & traffic going on here... :-/
[17:43] <theadmin> biigg: Running windows without installing it is never possible... :/ You can use WINE or you can install windows thru VirtualBox
[17:43] <Dr_Willis> Tao:  if you cant get it to boot from cd.. well i cant help ya with that other then to say check the bios
[17:43] <sno> dotnetted: your welcome, synaptic is nice but being able to get information from the command line is a life saver ;)
[17:43] <FabParma> Dr_Willis: does exist an utility to interrogate the monitor peripheral?
[17:44] <Trilobit> ok, thanks and bye.
[17:44] <Lunar_Lamp> dt84: have you done a "detect displays"?
[17:44] <dt84> Lunar_Lamp: yes, but nothing seem to change
[17:45] <sno> home time, laters all
[17:45] <Tao> Dr_Willis: I tried making changes to the BIOS, but it wouldn't let me save. All the options, except for "Exit Without Saving", are greyed out and listed as "Disabled"
[17:45] <ubutom_> FabParma, according to Amazon.co.uk that monitor can display 1280x1024 max with 65Hertz
[17:45] <dt84> Lunar_Lamp: should I restart the computer first?
[17:45] <MBSTO> o/
[17:45] <biigg> I have windows XP home insalled on laptop,
[17:45] <Dr_Willis> Tao:  no idea then. sounds liek it may be password protected..
[17:45] <Dr_Willis> Tao:  or some other security settings
[17:46] <biigg> have no user names or passwords
[17:46] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: yeah, it's working now - up to 7. still i wonder if this wasn't the problem. pitivi is behaving OK now, and with 50 other programs open. could changing swappiness from 0 to 10 have done it?
[17:46] <Tao> Dr_Willis: I tried removing the little BIOS battery thing to reset it, but nothing happened
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> biigg:  try running linux in virtualbox if you want to  try out linux. or use the WUBI installer on the cd. (but i hate wubi)
[17:46] <shiftingcontrol> how to password protect a linux directory(not server installed)?
[17:46] <Goldfisch> Is there a nice package to install on ubuntu where I can serve bittorrent files? I have a colleague that works with me in a distributed capacity, and we need to push huge files (13GB+) between each other. Being able to push through bittorrent privately would be probably the most efficient usage of bandwidth between us.
[17:46] <biigg> and I read somewhere that you could use ubuntu to get into windows
[17:46] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: (that is swap usage is at 7 mb now)
[17:46] <natschil> Does anyone know how I can get jackd to work on "normal" ubuntu lucid?
[17:48] <erUSUL> natschil: jackd is for professional audio, it makes no sense to use it ina normal desktop system ...
[17:48] <erUSUL> biigg: from a livecd is easy to access and modify all data of a hard disk
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> Isent there a jackd wiki page?
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> biigg:  Hmm?
[17:50] <ubutom_> biigg, i hope its yours
[17:51] <shoopdawoop> cdcdcdc: I dunno. maybe the real problem is actually faulty ram like I suggested. then problems will only occur sporadically when an application uses the faulty ram segment
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> biigg:  i dont think anyone understood what you said..
[17:52] <cdcdcdc> shoopdawoop: are you saying i should have taken your first tip? i'll do it now :)
[17:53] <shoopdawoop> cdcdcdc: haha no. just saying that changing swappiness probably didn't fix it (as even with a value of 0 it should still use swap when necessary)
[17:53] <biigg> I have a live cd of pupy linix will that get me in
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> biigg:  you can boot a linux cd and mount the hd and do whatever you want to it...
[17:54] <brfelipe> whats the difference between the desktop and the netbook versions?
[17:54] <unop> Goldfisch, any bittorrent client will do -- only thing is you will have to create your .torrent files yourself and save them somewhere where you can serve them to people.
[17:55] <rhl6856> I am having some trouble understanding how to register my machines on a network properly so that I can ssh into my hostname, and not just my ip, can someone explain that to me?
[17:55] <rhl6856> (or point me at documentation)
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> rhl6856:  quick and dirty and not very good way.. edit the /etc/hosts on every machine. :)
[17:56] <biigg> so with the live cd  I can add or remove users on windows is that what you are saying
[17:56] <erUSUL> rhl6856: you need a nameserver for your network or mantain /etc/hosts on all the machines
[17:56] <FabParma> ubutom_:  so I can use 1280x1024 and not 1152x864? This is very uncommon
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> biigg:  no that is not what we are saying. You can access the files on the windows hard drive.. thats it.. You MIGHT beable to do more if you find some tools to manipulate the windows special files. there are special recovery cd's that have such tools
[17:56] <rhl6856> so my sys admin should have a nameserver? do I need to have access to it?
[17:57] <ubutom_> FabParma, no, you can use up to 1280x1024, for the black parts of the screen you can try to adjust it in the monitor menu
[17:57] <biigg> ok
[17:57] <ClayG> I know it's been done but just curious, anyone here using the dell mini 10 with ubuntu?
[17:57] <biigg>  I seee
[17:57] <erUSUL> biigg: no you can read  and writte whatever you want. i dunno if there is a method of adding a user in windows or removing them only editting a file or two :).
[17:57] <jits1998> hi guys... we run a training institute and need a nfs + ldap authentication setup for ubuntu .. we have around 200 users .. please point me to a documentation i can follow as a newbie ... and what kind of hardware server will be needed .. Thanks!!
[17:57] <ubutom_> FabParma, used 1152x768 a long time myself :)
[17:58] <nsahoo> hi guys. do you know how hostname -I gets the ip addresses for the host? I need to change that list
[17:58] <biigg> thanks
[17:58] <erUSUL> rhl6856: ask your network/sys admin i'd say
[17:58] <fk91> Ich habe grub1 gekillt. Leider habe ich nur die Ubuntu 9.10 DVD gebrannt. Kann ich da trotzdem den alten grub wiederherstellen? grub-install --version sagt: "grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.97~beta4)"

[17:58] <erUSUL> !de | fk91
[17:59] <fk91> Oh, my mistake.
[17:59] <biigg> I have a laptop with win xp and all the user names and passwords got removed
[17:59] <rhl6856> erUSUL, he doesn't support ubuntu, i guess what I'm asking is what do I have to do on my end? He's a windows admin, does it matter what sort of nameserver he has setup
[17:59] <rhl6856> ?
[17:59] <shoopdawoop> fk91: check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708
[18:00] <biigg> including the administrator
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> biigg:  perhaps ask in the #windows channel.
[18:00] <Goldfisch> unop: Thanks.
[18:00] <fk91> thanks shoopdawoop :)
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> biigg:  there is the system-rescue live cd and a few other 'recovery/rescue' cd;s out that have some tools to work on windows setups. check disrtowatch web site for info on them
[18:01] <natschil> erUSUL: the only problem is that one needs jack to run things like rosegarden and qsynth etc even if one wants to do this "just for fun". However, I do not see the need to install a completely different distribution only to run jackd (though I did install the -rt driver)
[18:01] <biigg> I did that but thought when I read about ubuntu getting into files of win.
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> biigg:  it can 'get into files'
[18:01] <biigg> I came here to ask
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> biigg:  any Linux in theory 'can' get into files.. but you need to do very specilized things to the files.
[18:01] <erUSUL> rhl6856: maybe you can use samba's winbind/nmdb ?? really dunno
[18:02] <erUSUL> natschil: ok; you do not need to install a whole new distro maybe just installing some of the ubntuestudio metapackages is enough...
[18:02] <rhl6856> thanks erUSUL

[18:04] <Dr_Willis> adamthenoob:  did you do a 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' ?
[18:05] <adamthenoob> how do i do that?
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> adamthenoob:  open a terminal.. type the commands
[18:05] <BluesKaj> or copy and paste
[18:06] <ClayG> I know it's been done but just curious, anyone here using the dell mini 10 with ubuntu?
[18:06] <adamthenoob> it isn't recognizing my key ring password
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> sudo would want your users password..
[18:07] <natschil> erUSUL: ok, I'll try that... shame that it isn't easily possible with just the "normal" ubuntu

[18:08] <unperson> I tried to install a package.  A dependency will not install.

It just keeps telling me to do 'apt-get -f install' (which isn't working).  How do I get out of this catch-22?

[18:22] <Pici> Pirat: Please don't hilight people needlessly.  Answers (and helpers) aren't necessarly available 24/7.
[18:22] <wise_crypt> !grub2
[18:22] <Pirat> o.O
[18:23] <Pirat> you guys want melt my head with all this? :P ill test both :)
[18:23] <dotnetted> hey all - after changing my datadir for mysql in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to /data/databases/mysql/ from /var/lib/mysql/ I can't start mysqld due to some kind of permissions failure - /data/databases/mysql/* has user:mysql group:mysql with read/write permissions - mysql is giving "mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/plugin.frm' (errno: 13)" - any suggestions? thanks
[18:23] <Pirat> one more question,,, witch Ver: of ubuntu i must burn on CD? no matters?
[18:24] <thune3> I want to get at the calender portion of Evolution without setting up mail options, is there any way to bypass the mail setup?
[18:24] <dotnetted> the guys at #mysql figured it would be better asking here as it probably has something to do with how mysql runs on ubuntu
[18:24] <aethelrick> Dave123: you smb.conf file is not used when you browse other machines... only specifies how your server is configured
[18:24] <Uggis> guys, i have .ko file that i need to use in insmod to get my wireless adpter working
[18:25] <kryptyk> thune3: is it for an Exchange type calendar or regulr personal usage?
[18:25] <Uggis> how i could make ubuntu do it in start?
[18:25] <Pirat> one more question,,, witch Ver: of ubuntu i must burn on CD? no matters?
[18:25] <soreau> Uggis: It works already?
[18:25] <Uggis> it works after i load it with insmod
[18:25] <thune3> kryptyk: i want it as an offline reminder system
[18:25] <Uggis> but i need to do it  again on every reboot
[18:25] <soreau> Uggis: Put the insmod command with full path to the kernel object in /etc/rc.local
[18:26] <Uggis> okey
[18:26] <soreau> Uggis: Whatever is in this file should get execuated as root
[18:26] <soreau> on boot
[18:26] <selfix> hi all, how can I silence apt warnings about conflicting packages?
[18:26] <Uggis> okey..
[18:26] <aethelrick> Dave123: how far do you get when trying to connect to other computer shares? can you see them on the network? What are you using to connect?
[18:26] <kryptyk> thune3: if you need strictly calendar, I would take a look at Mozilla Sunbird
[18:26] <soreau> selfix: You fix the problem and the warnings go awayt
[18:26] <selfix> soreau: what if I need two versions of packages?
[18:27] <soreau> selfix: you don't/
[18:27] <dotnetted> could apparmor have anything to do with the incorrect mysqld permissions after changing the datadir path on karmic? (mysql-server-5.1)
[18:27] <selfix> soreau: I use mysql and mysql with percona patch and apache complains about it's dependancies
[18:28] <fearful> Does anyone know why my media player buttons suddenly stop working on ubuntu 10.04, its a HP Pavillion dv6000 series
[18:28] <wise_crypt> !downgrade > selfix
[18:28] <soreau> dotnetted: What is confusing to me is that it complains about somefile in ./mysql/balhblah. . means current working directory but where are you running this command that it's giving you this message?
[18:28] <thune3> kryptyk: i'll take look at it, thx. I'd like to stick with the built-in if it is even possible, especially since i would rarely use it.
[18:28] <Anubis> can anyone tell me how to fix this problem (http://paste.ubuntu.com/450176/)
[18:29] <fearful> Does anyone know why my media player buttons suddenly stop working on ubuntu 10.04, its a HP Pavillion dv6000 series
[18:29] <kryptyk> thune3: fair enough - to that end, I have never tried to bypass the mail setup on Evolution
[18:29] <Uggis> soreau, what patch i sould put it for example :D
[18:29] <soreau> Anubis: Tried adding the pgp key?
[18:29] <dotnetted> soreau: what's the proper way to start mysqld 5.1 on karmic?
[18:29] <soreau> Uggis: huh?
[18:29] <soreau> dotnetted: I have no idea
[18:30] <Anubis> nope
[18:30] <Uggis> soreau,  how i would find path to some file?
[18:30] <Anubis> soreau: no
[18:30] <soreau> Uggis: You should already know where the file exists on your filesystem
[18:31] <Farkie> locate filename
[18:31] <Farkie> updatedb first
[18:31] <shiftingcontrol> if my disk space is less can't i read files like pdf?
[18:31] <e-DIO-t> less than?!
[18:31] <sjm> dotnetted: sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld start ?
[18:31] <Andrew9> hi everyone
[18:31] <dotnetted> after setting all apparmor profiles into complain mode instead of enforce mysqld starts fine - anyoen know how to fix the mysqld apparmor profile to handle a changed mysql data directory path?
[18:32] <Uggis> soreau, well sould i use like uggis/filename.ko for example?
[18:32] <e-DIO-t> dotnetted, or sudo invoke.rc mysqld start
[18:32] <shiftingcontrol> e-DIO-t:555m.b only left
[18:32] <Pici> dotnetted: mysql is setup as a service, so you should be able to issue either: sudo service mysql start  OR  sudo invoke-rc.d mysql start
[18:32] <soreau> Anubis: Try this:  KEY=67265EB522BDD6B1C69E66ED7FB8BEE0A1F196A8; gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv $KEY && gpg --export --armor $KEY | sudo apt-key add -
[18:32] <Andrew9> how to check is my ubuntu is not infected?
[18:32] <Andrew9> if*
[18:32] <soreau> ! virus | Andrew9
[18:32] <wise_crypt> dotnetted: or sudo service mysql start
[18:32] <e-DIO-t> 555mb?! weell you should open anykind of file
[18:32] <shiftingcontrol> df showed / is 100%
[18:32] <Andrew9> soreau: i know
[18:32] <bluephase> Hi all. I'm running ubuntu lts on acer aspire a110. After a reboot yesterday all my networking has disappeared?! Does anyone know what has caused this?
[18:32] <e-DIO-t> mmh...wel...
[18:33] <Uggis> soreau, or do i need to use like /home/uggis/drivername.ko
[18:33] <Andrew9> soreau: how about harmful programs?
[18:33] <e-DIO-t> so guess it could be a bit "slow"
[18:33] <e-DIO-t> dunno: never reached this "hights" :P
[18:33] <e-DIO-t> ...couldn't you try?!
[18:33] <sjm> bluephase: what does ifconfig -a show?
[18:33] <e-DIO-t> sjm, all interfaces, included offline one
[18:33] <soreau> Uggis: In /etc/rc.local, just make a new line before exit 0 with insmod /path/to/your/module.ko
[18:34] <e-DIO-t> ehm...sorri sj :P
[18:34] <shiftingcontrol> i tried opening pdf file text are not displaying i can only see the background colour and image
[18:34] <soreau> Uggis: Obviously, you will need to make that path whatever it is on your system
[18:34] <Sam_Fisher> howdy useguys
[18:34] <e-DIO-t> shiftingcontrol: tried to open it with?!
[18:34] <Sam_Fisher> how u doin?
[18:34] <bluephase> sjm: It shows quite a bit, problem is im typing this on a phone!
[18:34] <fridan> can someone invite me into #hardware ?
[18:34] <shiftingcontrol> obviously with evince
[18:34] <sjm> bluephase: probably not what I'm seeing then.  I need to have the wireless turned on at boot to get any network card (wifi or eth0) recognized.
[18:35] <Sam_Fisher> fridan, why are you a vampire and you can only enter if invited?
[18:35] <Andrew9> today while updating the package manager asked me to confirm that i want to install unsigned packages. how can i check that my system is not pulling harmful stuff?
[18:35] <sjm> bluephase: I have an asus netbook (1005ha).
[18:35] <wise_crypt> !register > fridan
[18:35] <bluephase> sjm:  how do I do that? Wlan0 does show details against it
[18:35] <Uggis> soreau, i get what you are saying, i just dont know ubuntus file system realy well..
[18:35] <arand> Andrew9: It's likely from a PPA which you do not have a pgp key for.
[18:35] <e-DIO-t> anyway shiftingcontrol : it should depende more on your ram/swap space more than your hd space, Try to open a "surely working little pdf"
[18:35] <soreau> Uggis: Ok, what is the exact insmod command you have to run every time you boot?
[18:35] <Sam_Fisher> Andrew9, oh I hope you aren't on the same road i was on last week! I eneded up doing a full reinstall
[18:36] <Pici> fridan: You need to be registered and identified to join ##hardware, please see the message from ubottu
[18:36] <sjm> bluephase: try sudo ifup eth0 or ifup wlan0
[18:36] <shiftingcontrol> now i am unable to open synaptic too:(
[18:36] <fridan> Sam_Fisher my main box kpd and now wont boot, so I'm on webchat on the old mac as there isn't a good irc client for it
[18:36] <Uggis> soreau, i do cd desktop -> cd folder -> insmod drivername.ko
[18:36] <Andrew9> Sam_Fisher: so UBUNTU got VIRUSES nice
[18:36] <bluephase> sjm: Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0
[18:37] <shiftingcontrol> it shows unable to copy X user'sauthorization as root
[18:37] <e-DIO-t> WHAT? <-- so UBUNTU got VIRUSES nice?!
[18:37] <soreau> Uggis: Does this show the file?  ls $HOME/Desktop/folder
[18:37] <Anubis> soreau: thank you. it worked
[18:37] <Andrew9> e-DIO-t: today while updating the package manager asked me to confirm that i want to install unsigned packages. how can i check that my system is not pulling harmful stuff?
[18:37] <arand> Andrew9: If you trust the PPA, get the key for it, so you can be sure the one(s) responsible for the PPA is the one behind the packages.
[18:37] <soreau> Anubis: Cool =)
[18:37] <sjm> bluephase: sorry, it's probably controlled by NetworkManager.  I don't have much more help right now for that.
[18:38] <arand> Andrew9: You PPAs should be listed in the other section in software sources.
[18:38] <Uggis> soreau, ls /home/uggis/desktop/folder shows it
[18:38] <Uggis> so ill use that?
[18:38] <Jordan_U> fridan: What happens when you try to boot? How long had yo been using Ubuntu without kernel panics before this?
[18:38] <e-DIO-t> andrew: 1) checking gpg key; 2) reading full code. Obviously if you don't analyze any line of source of your pc you can get harmful stuff :P
[18:38] <bluephase> sjm:  Thanks anyway mate
[18:38] <fridan> e-DIO-t there have always een viruses for linux, you just have to be dumb enough to install crossover or cedega from the pirate bay or other warez site, they aren't self propigating like on windows
[18:38] <sjm> bluephase: you're welcom
[18:39] <soreau> Uggis: Yes, all you have to run is insmod /home/uggis/desktop/folder/drivername.ko
[18:39] <e-DIO-t> andrew: btw there's clamav ^_^
[18:39] <Jordan_U> fridan: If the're not self propagating then they're trojans, not viruses
[18:39] <Uggis> soreau, thank you so much :)
[18:39] <soreau> no worries
[18:39] <Uggis> <3 ubuntu community
[18:39] <e-DIO-t> well Jordan_U : those are academical divisons
[18:39] <arand> Andrew9: Your present keys should be listed if you run "sudo apt-key list" Find the missing one. If you want to install it, got to the page whhere you found the PPA, instructions on how to get it will be there
[18:39] <shiftingcontrol> disk utility shows swap space as 2.1 gb of 2.1 gb that means my RAM is space is full occupied?ryt?
[18:40] <e-DIO-t> welll but andrew told about an unsigned package
[18:40] <e-DIO-t> not about a missing repos. key
[18:40] <shiftingcontrol> sry ram space
[18:40] <e-DIO-t> shiftingcontrol: got it :)
[18:40] <Andrew9> we are working in a complete unprotected system environment and live with that. i know.. but at least windows makes it look like we are safe
[18:40] <fridan> Jordan_U the mobo keeps asking for a non existant floppy drive, and wont go into bios setup. been using linux off and on since 5.04
[18:40] <Jordan_U> e-DIO-t: I think that they are important practically, and I think most people will understand if you use the correct term, malware, instead.
[18:40] <FabParma> ubutom_: no way, i give up
[18:41] <FabParma> ubutom_: thank you for helping
[18:41] <Uggis> soreau, i tested it and works perfectly :)
[18:41] <e-DIO-t> Jordan_U: not me ;) i'm a technician :P. Andrew9: guess, whatever the os, whatever the hardware, the bug is only one :)
[18:41] <G-D-U> hi, i have a (long-text) question! so sorry for the long text!....
[18:41] <G-D-U> :)
[18:42] <G-D-U> may i start?
[18:42] <soreau> Uggis: Great! :D
[18:42] <oCean_> G-D-U: try to keep it all in one single line
[18:42] <arand> !pastebin | Otherwise G-D-U:
[18:42] <oCean_> G-D-U: if you want to share output, logs or other pastes, then use pastebin ^^
[18:43] <G-D-U> ok thank you guys, one moment...i copy paste :)
[18:43] <e-DIO-t> Andrew9, last week a quite skilled java analyst installed a scareware to our secretary ;)
[18:47] <lui_> hola gente!!!!
[18:47] <fusion27> I just got an Android phone, it's great.  I'm attempting to mount the phone as a drive, it worked yesterday.  Ubuntu would just "see it".  It's no longer doing that.  Outside of  a reboot, what would you guys try?
[18:47] <G-D-U> So thank you all for the advice, here is the link to my question: http://pastebin.com/LTaASne4
[18:47] <lui_> hablan español?!?!?!!?!?
[18:47] <erUSUL> !es | lui_
[18:48] <ahmad> haloo
[18:48] <Andrew9> e-DIO-t: not so long ago some experts answered to Google (when they told not to use windows to the employees) that the main reason linux and osx are relatively safe is that these systems are not targeted yet, and that windows is much more safe in terms of end-user security. you got a virus on linux and there is no way to tell that system is infected...
[18:49] <sveinse> Hello. How can I make syslogd to listen on the LAN NIC on Lucid?
[18:50] <nuboon2age_> Andrew9: e-DIO-t: you can use Antiviral software on Linux
[18:50] <e-DIO-t> Andrew9, well, there's ClamAV ...or a Windows Antivirus [if you got extX installed] ;) And by the way: that's obviously true!
[18:50] <Daekdroom> e-DIO-t, but for now, they only search for Windows viruses, right?
[18:50] <Andrew9> nuboon2age_: do you know the name of any?
[18:51] <shoopdawoop> Andrew9: Avira Antivir has a free linux version
[18:51] <alexi5> do any of you guys run ubuntu in your data center ?
[18:51] <nuboon2age_> Andrew9: as e-DIO-t said, the bst known is clamav
[18:51] <e-DIO-t> Andrew9:  guess no: there are several university thesis on linux/mac viruses...and guess there's underground movement too
[18:51] <e-DIO-t> guess, and hope :)
[18:51] <Andrew9> shoopdawoop: linux antivirus to search win_nt code ?
[18:52] <nuboon2age_> !clamav
[18:52] <e-DIO-t> yep: andrew got a problem ^_^ is it verified?!
[18:52] <Andrew9> nuboon2age_: i am almost sure there is no antivirus for linux environment
[18:52] <walaky> hello
[18:52] <e-DIO-t> i mean ...is ClamAV designed to find linux or windows signatures?
[18:52] <shiftingcontrol> how increase disk space without using liveCD
[18:52] <walaky> please help me
[18:52] <Daekdroom> Probably Windows.
[18:53] <erUSUL> !ask | walaky
[18:53] <e-DIO-t> shiftingcontrol: it's not sure to redesign fs after they're "full"
[18:53] <e-DIO-t> ABSOLUTELY NOT SURE
[18:53] <shoopdawoop> Andrew9: it also has rootkit detection, but I don't know if they actaully detect any linux rootkits
[18:53] <e-DIO-t> weee that's kindly interesting ^_^
[18:53] <Andrew9> shoopdawoop: they don't
[18:54] <shoopdawoop> Andrew9: ok then
[18:54] <e-DIO-t> then: we're fucked :P
[18:54] <Andrew9> how can i list all unsigned packages in my system then?
[18:54] <e-DIO-t> wait: i'm asking in bash
[18:54] <piyushmishra> what is the best task managing time based or otherwise on ubuntu
[18:54] <Pici> e-DIO-t: Please mind your language here.
[18:55] <shiftingcontrol> e-DIO-t:hmmm ok
[18:55] <RMeist> alexs:
 Not A Bash Question. Ask the channel that supports your software, hardware, or OS. <== DOH :°°°
[18:56] <Andrew9> why python-notify is blocked from installation?
[18:56] <G-D-U> can someone help me? http://pastebin.com/LTaASne4
[18:56] <e-DIO-t> guess: if packages are unsigned -> then you got no repos for them, or you got a repos with no key, or what?!
[18:56] <e-DIO-t> ..we shoulda move this discussion in #linux ...perhaps?!
[18:56] <nuboon2age_> Andrew9: I'm pretty sure that is mistaken.  Clamav and several others check for linux (and windoze) viruses
[18:56] <arand> Andrew9: Once you install them, I don't think it keeps that info (unless the .deb files are still on the system (apt-cache))
[18:57] <Andrew9> arand: what info?
[18:57] <arand> Andrew9: Is this still about update manager not being able to verify signature?
[18:57] <Andrew9> arand: yes
[18:58] <arand> Andrew9: I did telly you how to solve it.
[18:58] <e-DIO-t> well
[18:58] <Pici> !who
[18:58] <e-DIO-t> apt guess got the one from dpkg
[18:58] <e-DIO-t> and..what else?!
[18:58] <e-DIO-t> EAT and come back
[18:59] <red2kic> piyushmishra: There's an applet for that! (TM)
[18:59] <red2kic> !info hamster-applet | piyushmishra
[18:59] <lwizardl> hi
[18:59] <Pici> !who | e-DIO-t
[18:59] <lwizardl> can the netbook version of ubuntu be used on any laptops ?
[18:59] <red2kic> lwizardl: Yes, but why would you want to?
[18:59] <piyushmishra> red2kic: ty
[18:59] <Pici> lwizardl: Sure, but its designed for a smaller screen.
[19:00] <lwizardl> red2kic, because the 10.04 installer seems to hate my dell
[19:00] <red2kic> piyushmishra: You'll have to fill them in manually. There are no apps that'll automatically tracks your processes, I think.
[19:00] <JULinuxUser> what would I type in the terminal to find out the exact model of my Atheros wireless card?
[19:00] <lwizardl> its an older machine
[19:00] <erUSUL> JULinuxUser: lspci | grep -i net
[19:00] <red2kic> piyushmishra: I know there are Firefox addon that'll track your browsing habits (and statistics).
[19:00] <red2kic> lwizardl: What hardware?
[19:00] <red2kic> !hcl | lwizardl
[19:00] <piyushmishra> red2kic: which one?
[19:00] <lwizardl> Dell Inspiron 2500
[19:01] <lwizardl> the 9.10 installer worked fine on it
[19:01] <red2kic> piyushmishra: I don't know. I'll try and find it.
[19:01] <piyushmishra> red2kic: I want to see for myself how much work I do on an average in a day and something so that I can make schedules get reminders and have logged times kinda thing on my work
[19:02] <JULinuxUser> thanks erUSUL
[19:02] <piyushmishra> red2kic: any app or apps that can help me with that?
[19:02] <red2kic> piyushmishra: Did you check out hamster-applet already? It's what you're looking for (but it does not track things automatically, you'll have to declare that you're going to work on "something" -- then "movie time" and etc.
[19:03] <lun4tic> k complains about all kinds of stuff
[19:03] <piyushmishra> red2kic: I installed it
[19:03] <lun4tic> but --force works :D
[19:03] <lun4tic> i like that
[19:03] <piyushmishra> red2kic lemme try
[19:03] <cdcdcdc> hi! any python or pitivi experts around? i'm getting massive errors when i run from cli - and generally extreme lag if i do any action on the timeline
[19:03] <lun4tic> "--force" is my favourite commandline option XD
[19:03] <lun4tic> just tell the damn calculating machine to do WTF i tell em ^^
[19:04] <lun4tic> whats with all the channel joins?
[19:04] <erUSUL> this is a busy channel
[19:04] <red2kic> lwizardl: Going to find something if I can. Meanwhile see if any of the bugs fit your hardware -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes
[19:04] <Dnetshark> just reading ;)
[19:05] <Guest18386> hey guys how is the lucid lynx
[19:05] <erUSUL> Guest18386: quite lucid if you ask me ;P
[19:05] <piyushmishra> red2kic: can I schedule future events with this and get reminders?
[19:05] <LJRuff> Guest18386, I like Lucid. It works well.
[19:05] <j0npau1> Hey I'm having an odd problem. Since upgrading to 10.04 from intrepid I have no volume widget on my panel and there doesn't seem to be one to add in the "add to panel" dialogue. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
[19:06] <j0npau1> er, jaunty
[19:06] <red2kic> piyushmishra: I'm not sure. I don't actively use it. I just knew the applet exist.
[19:06] <red2kic> lwizardl: Sounds like you? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[19:06] <lwizardl> ok well this is what 10.04 is doing on my laptop. when i boot the livecd i get like 10 error pop ups, and it hangs during the install (using livecd) at like 48%, and if i use the alternate text installer it will install completely but when rebooted the gui crashes and only stays at bash login
[19:06] <mtsl> hi, how may I turn the borders of me-tv off to watch borderless tv?
[19:06] <piyushmishra> red2kic ok ty :) seemsit will solve one of my issues for now
[19:06] <erUSUL> j0npau1: install indicator-sound package
[19:06] <kantoka> Lucid is nice, besides an often crashing Evolution mail client.
[19:06] <j0npau1> thank you!
[19:06] <jkamp> lwizardl: what kind of graphics card?
[19:07] <chalcedony> where can i find help with Audacity or a program to record from a tape recorder to my computer?
[19:07] <nuboon2age_> Andrew9: here is a pretty good run down on malware and linux, including list of Linux av programshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Virus
[19:07] <lwizardl> jkamp, not sure what ever dell used on the inpirion 2500 laptop
[19:07] <Andrew9> nuboon2age_: ok thanks!
[19:07] <jkamp> lwizardl: try dpkg --reconfigure xorg-server  and use vesa driver to get something up and running.
[19:07] <lwizardl> k
[19:08] <jkamp> then you should be able to use the driver install tool to install the nvidia/ati whatever drivers
[19:08] <jkamp> inspiron 2500 could have multiple graphics cards. if you can boot the livecd with a safe graphics option, try an lspci and get it that way
[19:09] <lost> i have wine 1.2 and could not get itunes to load. it says missing vc80.crt and others
[19:09] <jkamp> is there a specific reason for itunes?
[19:09] <erUSUL> lost: #winehq
[19:09] <jkamp> rhythmbox/banshee should do what you need... and more.
[19:09] <nuboon2age_> Sorry, let me try again: Andrew9: here is a pretty good run down on malware and linux, including list of Linux av programs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Virus
[19:09] <lost> thats a good start tks
[19:10] <red2kic> lost: Got iPhone/iPod? Check !iphone out
[19:10] <chalcedony> where can i find help with Audacity or a program to record audio from a tape recorder to my computer?
[19:10] <Sam_Fisher> Do you guys know my GF? Cause she hates the sound working on the laptop and none of you will help me fix it....
[19:10] <Andrew9> nuboon2age_: ok, i got it first time
[19:10] <lost> !iphone out
[19:10] <red2kic> !iphone | lost :P
[19:10] <erUSUL> chalcedony: maybe there is an audacity chanel here ? /msg alis list *audacity*
[19:10] <Sam_Fisher> itunes = FAIL
[19:10] <slavik0329> good luck trying to preorder it
[19:10] <chalcedony> erUSUL, ty
[19:11] <LJRuff> Sam_Fisher, Why?
[19:11] <LJRuff> Don't just post an opinion without some kind of support.
[19:11] <jmartin_> itunes is horrid
[19:11] <erUSUL> chalcedony: but audacity records just clicking in the red button ... ( in ptreferences you can configure wich input you want to record ...)
[19:11] <jkamp> iTunes is massively bloated, slow, and half the time doesn't even work.
[19:11] <jmartin_> i like to own my music, not rent it from Apple
[19:11] <Sam_Fisher> any tips on installing Nvidia sound driver?
[19:11] <jkamp> Or corrupts the ipod database and you have to reformat it.
[19:11] <jkamp> jmartin_: amen.
[19:12] <LJRuff> jmartin_, You can only play iTunes Store purchased music in iTunes? Because, last time I checked, I could play music I owned on CD's and things on it...
[19:12] <chalcedony> erUSUL, i had it before, i think i have a problem with my soundcard
[19:12] <mika_> hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu server... i'd like to crypt the partition... should i use the automatic tool to use the whole hd with lvm and crypt ? will it ask the passphrase at every boot or will it be automatic the decrypt?
[19:12] <Sam_Fisher> LJRuff, Itunes is crap. Invasive single minded. Rythmbox lets you control your music your way.
[19:12] <LJRuff> Sam_Fisher, there's no doubt Rhythmbox is better, I'm just warning about posting up opinions.
[19:12] <red2kic> mika_: It'll ask for the passphrase at every boot. Why bother using encryption if you want it to perform automatic decryptions. :(
[19:13] <sipior> Gentlemen, let's keep to topic.
[19:13] <Sam_Fisher> I use Gpodder and Rythmbox on my Ipod
[19:13] <LJRuff> I don't have an iPod. I'm no consumer slave - there's no point in feeding the Apple beast.
[19:13] <comicinker> sipior: you mean: Ladies and Gentlemen
[19:14] <mika_> red2kic: i actually don't want that other people access the data... but as it's a server i don't want the passphrase because i'd have to write it... and with remote access it's quite hard, and not good (the server will stay down until i enter it)
[19:14] <Sam_Fisher> sipior, hahaha
[19:14] <sipior> comicinker: to about a 94% confidence level, no, i do not.
[19:14] <jkamp> My biggest complaint about itunes is that you can't copy your music back off of your ipod.
[19:14] <LJRuff> LOL sipior
[19:14] <Jordan_U> mika_: Then why do you want to encrypt the data on disk at all?
[19:14] <Sam_Fisher> My Nvidia sound is gone after messing with a headset and a blue tooth dongle. HELP
[19:14] <jkamp> (you can... just not with itunes - you have to copy the whole database over with it's obscure file names and then let itunes rename everything for you)
[19:15] <red2kic> mika_: You can use guided partition options or do it manually -- It's really up to you. With scripts, you can have it decrypted automatically if you have USB with passphrase_key loaded in. You should keep the data exclusively to yourself.
[19:15] <mika_> Jordan_U: to avoid that someone could access them with phisical access...
[19:15] <lun4tic> lol german satire guy writes: "are you secret fans of nerdkorea too?" .... XD
[19:15] <comicinker> mika_: maybe you want a virtual server
[19:15] <jkamp> Sam_Fisher: have you rebooted (or killed off pulseaudio)?
[19:15] <LJRuff> I agree with jmartin_, actually, the most about iTunes and Apple. As one of the biggest advocates behind DRM and stealing consumer rights, I see no point in owning, using, or associating in any way with Apple products or software.
[19:15] <Jordan_U> mika_: If it's automatically decrypted at boot then someone with physical access can still get the data.
[19:15] <Sam_Fisher> jkamp, if that would be a stupid thing to do i did it!
[19:16] <jkamp> it wouldn't be.
[19:16] <jkamp> Sam_Fisher: did you change the hardware settings under sound preferences?
[19:16] <shoopdawoop> the only apple product I own (an old PB G4) is running linux :P
[19:16] <jkamp> i have to play with that stuff any time i hook up to HDMI
[19:16] <Sam_Fisher> jkamp, I ran some alsxxx command in terminal and it displayed this awesome graphic sound info tool. After that no sound
[19:16] <mika_> Jordan_U: right, but if you access the hd from another pc the data will be encrypted.... having it decrypted at boot you will always put the user password to access the system
[19:16] <Sam_Fisher> jkamp, Nothing listed under hardware
[19:17] <jkamp> you can try ps -ef | grep pulse   and kill -9  the PID's for pulseaudio (should be 2 of them)
[19:17] <webPragmatist> where can i find the supported resources for pacemaker and their options?
[19:17] <mika_> Jordan_U: without the encrypt you could just remove the hd and access all the data from another pc
[19:17] <jkamp> Sam_Fisher: you have no devices listed under the hardware tab in audio preferences?? o_O
[19:17] <Sam_Fisher> shoopdawoop, convert the world to Linux Puppy
[19:17] <jkamp> webPragmatist: clusterlabs.org
[19:17] <Jordan_U> mika_: If it's decrypted at boot then the password has to be stored somewhere. Where would the password be securely stored if not on the hard drive?
[19:17] <Sam_Fisher> jkamp, correct
[19:17] <webPragmatist> jkamp: trying to find it on there … not having much luck
[19:18] <red2kic> webPragmatist: You can compile the customized kernel for your grandma's pacemaker!
[19:18] <comicinker> mika_: when using a virtualized server, you can let anybody access the server physically, but you can reboot your virtual server remotely
[19:18] <jkamp> webPragmatist: you may want to try #linux-ha
[19:18] <mika_> Jordan_U: i'm using kubuntu on a desktop and it works just like that, i don't have to put the passphrase..
[19:18] <Sam_Fisher> jkamp, I followed these instructions that had me checking for a sound card.
[19:18] <Jordan_U> mika_: You could use an encrypted home directory, which would be decrypted automatically when you login (using your login credentials to decrypt so you only have to enter a password once)
[19:18] <comicinker> mika_: and your virtual server is fully enrypted...
[19:18] <jkamp> anything that can be scripted, can be added as a cluster resource, webPragmatist
[19:18] <mika_> comicinker: it's an old machine, it wouldn't work so good :)
[19:18] <webPragmatist> jkamp: right i'm trying to find the prepackaged scripts
[19:19] <webPragmatist> like apache is one of them
[19:19] <webPragmatist> mysql … ipv2
[19:19] <webPragmatist> 4*
[19:20] <Slart> is there a setting for automatically unlocking the keyring, even when I use autologin?
[19:20] <Sam_Fisher> jkamp, typed aplay -l and got aplay: device_list:221: no soundcard found...
[19:20] <e-DIO-t> Andrew9, back
[19:20] <jkamp> webPragmatist: this doc has a good explanation of the locations of the various scripts for resource management:  http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf
[19:20] <lun4tic> LOL on german TV they said it too
[19:20] <jkamp> Sam_Fisher: lspci | grep -i audi
[19:20] <red2kic> Slart: Don't encrypt the keyring. Leave it blank. It'll be done automatically.
[19:20] <jkamp> anything?
[19:20] <Jordan_U> mika_: If you don't have to use a password at any point then the data might as well not be encrypted. There is no way to have meaningfull encryption without requiring a password at some point (outside "trusted computing" hardware, and even then I'd argue not).
[19:20] <freenzy> hi, what software or tool can I use in order to send mailnews to the ones suscripted? would a mailing list be OK?
[19:20] <lun4tic> north korea has hired mercs as fan crowd XD
[19:20] <Pici> !ot | lun4tic
[19:21] <Slart> red2kic: huh? I don't think I have encrypted the keyring.. perhaps it's done automagically?
[19:21] <lun4tic> oops
[19:21] <lun4tic> wrong channel again sry
[19:21] <Andrew9> e-DIO-t: ok i'm reading this for now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Virus
[19:21] <mika_> Jordan_U: mm..so i should just use the whole hd without lvm and crypt...
[19:22] <ntr0py> How can i use mouse in virtualbox-ose ?
[19:22] <red2kic> Slart: It have been a while since I did something like that, but here: http://tinyurl.com/4uzfvz
[19:22] <red2kic> Slart: Instead of rm, just mv it to default.keyring-bak -- And when they ask you to create a keyring, leave both blank for password.
[19:22] <Slart> red2kic: ah.. interesting.. I'll play around with it.. thanks
[19:23] <Jordan_U> mika_: Yes, or setup an encrypted home directory (which would require you to login before the data could be used, but could be done remotely via ssh).
[19:23] <Sam_Fisher> jkamp, Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
[19:23] <red2kic> Slart: I think it's under Accessories -- Seahorse or something (if you're using ubuntu-desktop)
[19:23] <webPragmatist> jkamp: yea i'm looking for bind9 resource in specific
[19:24] <comicinker> ntr0py: it should work out of the box
[19:24] <mika_> Jordan_U: the critical data is mysql data, the home dir will probably be empty.. but having a web app accessing the db data, it will require the password to access it...
[19:25] <mika_> Jordan_U: i've just used the automatic partitioning for the whole disk (/ + swap)
[19:25] <ntr0py> comicinker: i always get capture dialog, but mouse is not moving in guest (no capture)
[19:27] <Slart> red2kic: I can just delete my keyrings from accessories, Passwords and Encryption and then create a new one with blank password.. it warns me that it will be saved unencrypted.. it seems to be working nicely. Thanks again
[19:27] <iarp> i'm haing a problem, my xubuntu desktop is missing it's taskbars. both top and bottom ones. i can access everything through rightclick but the rest is missing

[19:29] <comicinker> iarp: can you run xfce4-panel ?
[19:29] <dexter> how can i tell if i am running 64bit or 32bit ubuntu

[19:29] <delaman> any special instructions when installing ubuntu on a SSD drive.... i installed it just like a regular hardrive and sometimes it boots sometimes it does not, also when it does boot, it freezes and closes the entire OS after a period of time

[19:30] <dexter> red2kic, what does x86_64 mean 64 bit?
[19:30] <red2kic> dexter: Correct. i386 means 32.
[19:31] <dexter> red2kic, so i am running 64 bit
[19:31] <red2kic> dexter: Yes.
[19:31] <dexter> red2kic, somehow i manged to install the wrong os :S
[19:31] <dexter> red2kic, thanks
[19:32] <red2kic> dexter: If your machine can handle 64bit, it can. Otherwise, the installation would halt you in the beginning.

[19:35] <delaman> comicinker: if i have linux running and said SSD connected how can i check if it is still good or not?

[19:35] <comicinker> delaman: 9.04 is not affected of this bug
[19:36] <CaptainTrek> Guest17819:  i'm on Gnome 10.04, you might check in #kubuntu if you're on kde though
[19:36] <delaman> comicinker: so this is an ubuntu issue or debian? linux?

[19:37] <myrk> hi

[19:37] <Scunizi> I installed ebox but can't access it from my browser.. what's the secret?  Does it need Apache? if so why wasn't it pulled in as a dependancy?

[19:39] <anirvana> please help
[19:39] <CaptainTrek> Guest17819:  sounds like you have a minor glitch, perhaps you should try to reinstall firefox
[19:39] <rabby> the first hours they change audio volume as wanted. but after some time the keys stop their action. instead, i see the CPU running twoard 100% for the time when i press the +/- multimedia key
[19:39] <stefg> Scunizi: of course apache should have been installed as a dep from ebox. it uses https (port443) for accessing the webgui.
[19:40] <jkamp> why would apache have to be a dep?? lighttpd or one of the others could handle it as well
[19:40] <comicinker> delaman: debian wouldn't release something like that as stable. canonical does. at least they keep their time frame.
[19:41] <delaman> comicinker: ok someone should post this somewhere, this is kind of important information.... I already have an RMA for my SSD thinking it was the SSD, never would i have thought it would be the distro

[19:44] <CaptainTrek> Guest17819:  if the issue is ONLY with firefox, then I think the issue tracks back to Firefox, i don't need you to send me a link about glipper...
[19:44] <comicinker> delaman: it is "fixed" in lucid, "won't fix" in karmic. so the problem is known and solved. and the fact you need backports enabled is ok. only very few netbook owners will loose their data and maybe hardware.

[19:58] <red2kic> Phoebus: I mean... Firefox? Chrome?
[19:59] <Pici> Guest17819: You'll need to take a look at the appdb to find out.  We don't provide support in #ubuntu on how to get applications working under Wine, thats what the appdb and #winehq are for :)
[19:59] <Phoebus> red2kic, only opera, but I wanted a photo manager to work, spent so much time trying to get one to work. But none do, and picasa doesn't support the web-app from linux arg.
[20:00] <bluefox83> ok, i just inserted a new usb thumb drive into my ubuntu 10.04 system and it automounted it twice (once with root privs, the other standard) and only displays the root privs one on the desktop...
[20:00] <bluefox83> and gparted and other formatting utilities wont format it (gparted outright crashes!)
[20:01] <sopilte> hey
[20:01] <red2kic> Phoebus: Oh okay. Do you have special characters in filenames?
[20:01] <Gibby13> Anyone compile nouveau from git and have it working?
[20:02] <Xcell> Sam_Fisher-  i did this a while back_  http://www.junauza.com/2010/05/hacks-to-make-firefox-faster-than.html
[20:02] <Phoebus> red2kic, just numerals no special chars.
[20:02] <Xcell> works excellent too.
[20:03] <red2kic> Phoebus: Use Launchpad to find out possible workarounds. If none, then just wait it out.  http://tinyurl.com/28x2qom
[20:03] <Phoebus> red2kic, cheers m8.

[20:06] <bluefox83> nehyx: just making converstion ;)
[20:06] <Phoebus> red2kic, is launchpad offline or is it my conn.? hrm
[20:07] <bluefox83> and, my issue is with my system mounting my usb thumb drive all wierd, and gparted crashing D:
[20:07]  * bluefox83 ponders the wisdom of just formatting from command line >.>
[20:07] <red2kic> Phoebus: Your launchpad. I gave you the working link.
[20:08] <red2kic> Phoebus: Well, your internet.
[20:08] <Phoebus> lol k no worries
[20:09] <wng-> Why when I run ifdown with some if-up.d scripts, the $MODE is reported as "start", according to the man page the $MODE should be stop if run from ifdown, and start if run from ifup, but I put an echo in there and $MODE is always "start"
[20:09] <gcc45lover> hello, I'd like to ask if it is posible to keep both 4.5 and 4.4.x series on ubuntu for gcc
[20:10] <gcc45lover> i am doing something that requires 4.5.x features, explicitely and while I would like to move to ubuntu I am trying to avoid boostrapping gcc
[20:10] <jackfruit_bill> Hi , might be a silly question : when i try to create and ad hoc wifi connection using wpa1 & wpa2 security on lucid is the network created "hidden" ?
[20:10] <Randolph> hello world
[20:10] <gcc45lover> is there any experience on a ppa providing gcc 4.5.x ?
[20:10] <red2kic> bluefox83: If you have unrealircd, I doubt it's Gentoo's conspiracy, but possible the security flaw/bug in unrealircd.
[20:11] <Randolph> noob to irc am i
[20:11] <nehyx> !hi | Randolph
[20:11] <lolfetish> how can I find the name of my current desktop environment?
[20:11] <Randolph> thx
[20:11] <bluefox83> red2kic: it got published on the gentoo site, and zdnet picked it up (although they make it sound a whole lot worse than it really is...)
[20:11] <jmvx> Hey, I have an Acer p244w monitor, it's 1080p. How do I set the resolution to that. Nvidia doesn't seem to let me.
[20:11] <nehyx> lolfetish: You mean gnome, kde...?
[20:12] <dORSY> where to ask about maverick?
[20:12] <scap> you can log out and then go to change session before logging in to see what your default is
[20:12] <Pici> dORSY: #ubuntu+1
[20:12] <dORSY> thx
[20:12] <bluefox83> the zdnet site says that you can run ANY command with the backdoor, truth is, you can only use it to run commands with the same permissions as the one running the account (and unrealircd wont let you run it as root!)
[20:12] <scap> lolfetish:
[20:13] <ntr0py> How can i run more than 800x600 res in a virtual-box-ose guest with guest-addidions installed??
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[20:13] <scap> lolfetish: what did you install ubuntu kubuntu xbuntu ...
[20:13] <lolfetish>  nehyx: ye
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> Ntr0py: use xorg.conf
[20:13]  * bluefox83 wonders what he should put on his new flash drive, if he can get it working right....
[20:13] <lolfetish> or in other words, where can I change it
[20:13] <shoopdawoop> gcc45lover: http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html#multiple
[20:14] <scap> lolfetish: how are you starting X now... the default way with gdm and you just log in or some other method.
[20:14] <eximius> Hey if anyone could help me at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9465502#post9465502 it would be awesome
[20:14] <nehyx> lolfetish: You can install new one with "sudo apt-get install kde" or another package instead of kde
[20:14] <gcc45lover> shoopdawoop: yeah, but is there a ppa already providing a gcc-4.5 for example without me having to reboostrap the compiler
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> ntr0py: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777759
[20:14] <red2kic> bluefox83: I see the article. I run root commands on your unrealircd? Can I? In any case, you should be using Funtoo instead of Gentoo IMO. :)
[20:14] <Randolph> Is it a real support channel for Ubuntu ?
[20:14] <red2kic> Randolph: Yes!
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Randolph: yes
[20:14] <Randolph> oki doki
[20:14] <nehyx> lolfetish: Which one would you like to have?
[20:14] <Randolph> cool
[20:15] <bluefox83> red2kic: i don't run gentoo, i just thought the story was interesting
[20:15] <shoopdawoop> gcc45lover: hmm that I don't know. I guess the ppa would replace the current version but not sure
[20:15] <nehyx> Randolph: It's the official
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Bluefox83: puppy or xpud :)
[20:15] <[Dmitry]>  Hello. Who will be able to reproduce the bug, please confirm it on the lp: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/594767
[20:15] <lolfetish> another one than what I have now: LXDE
[20:15] <Randolph> with developper ?
[20:15] <jackfruit_bill> hi i am confused with the use of the word "hidden" in wifi connections , does it mean that all connections i create are automatically hidden?
[20:15] <red2kic> Randolph: Type "/topic" to read things. :)
[20:15] <lolfetish> a lightweight one, anhy suggestions?
[20:15] <bluefox83> ActionParsnip: i run ubuntu 10.04 only
[20:15] <Randolph> oki
[20:15] <gcc45lover> shoopdawoop: yeah if that happened say bye bye to the distro :/
[20:15] <dajhorn> jackfruit_bill: No.
[20:15] <nehyx> lolfetish: A lighty one? Try xfce
[20:16] <jmvx> I have it set on TwinView, Auto resolution ... etc. the normal settings. But i'd like to get it set to 1920x1080, which doesn't show
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> lolfetish: you define it when you log in
[20:16] <dajhorn> jackfruit_bill: "Hidden" means that the basestation isn't broadcasting its name, which means that it doesn't show up in the network list.
[20:16] <[Dmitry]> Who will be able to reproduce the bug, please confirm it on the lp: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/594767
[20:16] <[Dmitry]> thx.
[20:16] <shoopdawoop> gcc45lover: wouldn't that most likely happen on most distros?
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> Jmvx: using nvidia?
[20:16] <jmvx> ActionParsnip: Yes
[20:16] <SlidingHorn> !repeat|[Dmitry]
[20:17] <Randolph> I am not used to (sorryfor my english)
[20:17] <gcc45lover> shoopdawoop: on debian it does not, it keeps it as gcc-4.5 while the default alternative is the regular gcc used by the distro
[20:17] <jackfruit_bill> my question is then how do i force an ad hoc network i make to be "non-hidden" so that other people can see it?
[20:17] <frxstrem> is there a way to make the interal computer speaker make noise (beep sounds) from bash?
[20:17] <nehyx> Randolph: What's your main language?
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> Jmvx: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings ,set the res to something (not auto) then click "save to x config file"
[20:17] <Randolph> french
[20:17] <Pici> Randolph: Would the French support channel be better for you? #ubuntu-fr exists
[20:17] <nehyx> !fr | Randolph
[20:17] <Randolph> but I understand english
[20:18] <Randolph> maybe
[20:18] <nehyx> Randolph: Well, you can stay in both
[20:18] <red2kic> Randolph: Great. It does not matter. We just want to make you feel more comfortable in either channel. :)
[20:18] <switchgirl> !j
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> jmvx: then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ,and manually change the resolution in the screen section. Save the new file and reboot
[20:18] <Randolph> but most of the time, the best answer is in english
[20:18] <switchgirl> !mode=+j
[20:18] <Sam_Fisher> yeah we all like french fies here
[20:18] <switchgirl> !mode +j
[20:18] <Uuu_> hello, can any KDE user check, what gives in terminal this command: echo $GTK_PATH
[20:18] <Randolph> lol
[20:18] <Pici> !modes | switchgirl
[20:18] <Sam_Fisher> and french onion soup
[20:19] <Randolph> mdr
[20:19] <dajhorn> jackfruit_bill: The applet that you're probably using to manage wireless networks doesn't always work properly with ad-hoc networks.  There is a discussion on the Ubuntu wiki about this.
[20:19] <Randolph> mdr = it sounds like dead to laugh
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Jackfruit_bill: could give wicd a go
[20:20] <jackfruit_bill> ok , will try that
[20:20] <Pici> Randolph: May I remind you (and everyone else), that #ubuntu is strictly a support channel.  If you want to chat, feel free to /join #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[20:20] <Randolph> oki, sorry

[20:21] <ntr0py> ActionParsnip: seems to work, thx... Just wonder if this is not too old xorg.conf (may 2008)...
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> ntr0py: how do you mean?
[20:21] <Randolph> like inventory ?
[20:22] <Uuu_> can any KDE user check what the command prints? (please type in terminal emulator, like konsole): echo $GTK_PATH
[20:22] <arpad_> is it necessary that after grub upgrade the Windows can be booted from DVD?
[20:22] <ntr0py> ActionParsnip: i thought Xorg changed a lot since we had those complicated conf files... my lucid nvidia system only has 10 lines in it...
[20:23] <Sam_Fisher> adio, you mean like a spreadsheet?
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> ntr0py: depends on the system
[20:24] <ntr0py> ActionParsnip: thx anyways i will try to break it down to a bare minimum ...

[20:38] <techteen> Veliouras what driver are you using?
[20:38] <Slart> delaman: and I've had two hard drives die on me while wearing a blue shirt.. that doesn't mean the blue shirt is responsible.. just because something happened at the same time as something else doesn't mean they are connected..  sure there are lots of kernel bugs that might, eventually, kill anything that doesn't like wear and tear (like flash memory and so on).. but until you can take a new SSD and kill it by running regular ubuntu on it you will find that peo
[20:39] <miked595> Pirate_Hunter: you can probably use cups... not familiar with cli printing
[20:39] <Ghidorah> Randolph: Correct. I'm having an issue where likewise-open creates the home direct in lowercase but pam_mount %(DOMAIN_USER) uses the user's username case

[20:41] <Randolph> Ghidorah : I used samba clent and winbind
[20:41] <Veliouras> techteen i don't know, there is no installed driver

[20:41] <blocky> how do I kill a defunct process? sudo kill -9 did not do it
[20:41] <Randolph> blocky : get the pid
[20:41] <h00k> blocky: kill -9 processidnumber
[20:42] <blocky> it's still there

[20:42] <blocky> any other way?
[20:42] <Slart> comicinker: well.. add your data to the bug report.. and click on the "affects me" button
[20:42] <Veliouras> techteen i have just seen my connection on the indicator and have it configured with its wpa data
[20:42] <comicinker> blocky: what does kill return?
[20:43] <blocky> nothing

[20:43] <blocky> Randolph, I did
 how do I kill a defunct process? sudo kill -9 did not do it
[20:43] <delaman> Slart: though i understand your logic, i will say this,    I am NOT NOT NOT NOT going to test it out with a new SSD just to prove you wrong, when i get my replacement SSD i am going to run my usuall distro, Archlinux.
[20:43] <Black_Prince> send sigkill to it
[20:44] <comicinker> Slart: ah. thanks. that will help canonical rethink their broken release system.
[20:44] <Randolph> blocky : sometimes there are many identical processes with different PID
[20:44] <blocky> Black_Prince,  isn't that the same as 9?
[20:44] <miked595> ubuntuu: further down their is information about mouting the the hard drive

[20:44] <blocky> Randolph, there is only one, and the grep
[20:45] <blocky> I can't open a new instance of transmission because the old one is hung
[20:45] <Slart> delaman: nope.. that was just an example of something that would be a bit more convincing.. just make sure archlinux doesn't have the same problem.. I didn't quite understand if it was a problem with the ubuntu specific changes or something from upstream
[20:45] <ChogyDan> ubuntuu: have you tried rebooting, and making sure grub2 works?
[20:45] <ubuntuu> miked595: im new to linux dont know anything.
[20:45] <ubuntuu> Chogydan: i did it 3 times.
[20:46] <h00k> !manual | ubuntuu, perhaps this would be of use to you
[20:46] <miked595> ubuntuu: is your current boot corrupted some how? how do you know that you need to install grub?

[20:54] <miked595> this link I gave has specific instructions for recovering the dual boot in ubuntu withthe live cd after isntalling windows
[20:55] <h00k> ubuntuu: you can put it on either drive, probably /dev/sda
[20:55] <ubuntuu> h00k: the windows partition its second the primary is the linux they are same gb.. witch should be ?
[20:55] <ubuntuu> h00k: its not a problem what ever drive i choose?
[20:55] <Jordan_U> ubuntuu: Select either drive (selecting both probably can't hurt). Do *not* select any partitions.
[20:56] <ubuntuu> wich is either drive from all them ?
[20:56] <ubuntuu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/450254/
[20:56] <h00k> ubuntuu: I'd pick /dev/sda because more-than-likely that is what drive your computer will try to boot from once.
[20:56] <olvap> how could i send the password on a shell script to shutdown the pc
[20:56] <Randolph> ubuntuu : try with one hard drive only, disconnect your hard drive with XP and install Ubuntu
[20:56] <loopidity> vuze doesnt get connected :(
[20:56] <h00k> ubuntuu: [ ] /dev/sda (251000 MB, WDC_WD2500YS-01SHB1)
[20:56] <guntbert> AnxiousNut: maybe the people in #firefox will be able to help better :-)
[20:56] <Slart> olvap: I don't think there is a good way
[20:57] <Black_Prince> ubuntuu: if everything fails ... try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/450256/
[20:57] <Slart> olvap: you could add an option to your sudoers file so shutdown doesn't require a password though
[20:57] <olvap> Slart what is a sudoers file=
[20:57] <olvap> ?
[20:58] <Randolph> olvap : file with sepcial permission
[20:58] <Slart> olvap: the sudoers file is a file that contains the configuration for the sudo command.. it lists which users are allowed to run which commands with sudo and other options for that
[20:58] <olvap> thanks
[20:58] <r3m> I dont understand why we need to install a smtp server to use the mail command. Why not use a smtp client and tell him to use my ISP smtp server. When I use thunderbird I specify this smtp server.

[20:59] <Slart> olvap: don't edit it using anything other than "visudo"
[20:59] <Slart> olvap: visudo has some extra checks so that you don't lock yourself out of using sudo..

[21:02] <kenoh> Hello. I have running process I started using some shortcut on desktop. How can I get its console output without running it from console?
[21:02] <h00k> jono: may I /query you briefly?
[21:03] <comicinker> kenoh: add a "> ~/logfile" to the command of the shortcut
[21:03] <Slart> kenoh: I'm not sure if you can get the output from a process that is already running.. you can use redirection to make all the output end up in a file somewhere for you to read if that's what you want
[21:03] <Slart> kenoh: like comicinker explained.. that's redirection
[21:04] <olvap> ok. there is no an easy way to make a shell script to shutdown the computer with out the need of a passord?
[21:04] <Slart> olvap: nope
[21:04] <olvap> :S

[21:05] <NightSlash> Hey :)
[21:05] <Slart> olvap: well.. it really depends on what you call easy.. you could do a cronjob ,running as root, that checks for example if a certain file exists.. and if it does it removes the file and shuts down the computer.. then you can create a second script that just creates this "special" file
[21:06] <NightSlash> Hey everyone!!!! :)
[21:06] <Slart> olvap: neither of these two scripts would be more than two lines or so.. but it still takes a little work
[21:06] <Slart> olvap: not to mention you've got a cronjob running every so often
[21:06] <NightSlash> Is anyone else here???
[21:07] <Slart> olvap: although changing the shutdown command to not need a password might be easier

[21:14] <Somelauw> Stupid question probably
[21:14] <ikonia> Somelauw: never be afraid to ask
[21:14] <Somelauw> But how to terminate a program running in a shell which has come in an infinite loop.
[21:14] <Somelauw> ?
[21:14] <Black_Prince> maybe ctrl+c
[21:15] <PJ2> :D
[21:15] <ikonia> Somelauw: open another shell, and kill the pid for the looping process, if ctrl+c doesn't work
[21:15] <Razion> Anyone happen to know of a utility to find bottlenecks in a network?
[21:15] <Somelauw> ctrl+c works, thanks
[21:15] <Slart> Somelauw: or use kill, pkill
[21:15] <ikonia> Razion: there are tons of tool, but the real stuff is pro-network kit
[21:16] <Razion> ikonia: Where can I find that package?
[21:16] <ikonia> Razion: that's not a package, that's professional networking tool
[21:16] <ikonia> tools
[21:16] <Somelauw> I haven't figured out yet what a pid is. It sounds like program id.
[21:16] <Slart> Somelauw: it's a number that identifies the process
[21:17] <Slart> Somelauw: you can see this number in top, htop, system monitor and so on
[21:17] <Razion> Ikonia: Okay. Where might I find it?
[21:17] <chao06> is there any kind of include function for crontab?  ie have a line like: include </home/user/cron1>

[21:27] <ubuntuu> Black_Prince: this is what i get now.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/450282/
[21:27] <bannick> SlidingHorn, actually #1 yes
[21:27] <ben__> although it did work straight out with 10.4 - but would BSD after 10 minutes, then only work with reinstall
[21:27] <Slart> a3ist: oh.. I read something about this.. a delay when logging in, after entering password? something like 10 secs or so?
[21:27] <ChogyDan> ben__: try installing one of the linux-backports-modules-lucid-generic type modules.  the name might be slightly different, like including 'wireless'
[21:27] <comicinker> ubuntuu: ah, ok
[21:28] <Black_Prince> ubuntuu: it says this Installation finished. No error reported.
[21:28] <ben__> ???
[21:28] <ubuntuu> Black_Prince: now all its ok i reboot?
[21:28] <Black_Prince> try
[21:28] <ubuntuu> Black_Prince: i got 1 word for you?
[21:28] <fakaras> Slart, this is a netbook ?
[21:28] <Slart> a3ist: or before you get the login prompt?
[21:28] <tyranos_> when i use find on the command line it sometimes ends with the message aborted, does anyone knows why? and when that happens ? is my drive faulty ?
[21:28] <ubuntuu> Black_Prince: <3
[21:28] <ubuntuu> rebooting.
[21:28] <ben__> ChoggyDan can I pm you?
[21:28] <a3ist> Slart, before entering password.  Thought it might be related to DNS lookup but I haven't changed DNS settings since before upgrading to lucid, and I've disabled IPV6
[21:29] <h00k> !pm
[21:29] <vaul> Hello, people. How do I disable standard layout indicator in Ubuntu 10.04. Matter is - I have gxneur installed and I do not want two indicators to be shown.
[21:29] <ChogyDan> ben__: what's the trouble?
[21:29] <Slart> fakaras: if you can define "netbook" then perhaps I can answer that =).. it's one of these http://www.google.com/products/catalog?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=asus+ul30vt&oe=utf-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=3600635830796895630&ei=EuIXTIKSBcGHON_YjfQK&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCoQ8wIwAg#
[21:29] <ben__> got the Madwifi drivers on the desktop, struggling to install them from there
[21:30] <Slart> a3ist: oh.. after you've entered the user name?
[21:30] <ben__> I'm a noob - if you didn't guess :)
[21:30] <ChogyDan> ben__: you should install the package instead
[21:30] <ben__> sorry, which package?
[21:30] <SlidingHorn> !wifi|ben__
[21:30] <Slart> a3ist: perhaps this will help? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-ssh-slow-to-ask-for-password-in-ubuntu-feisty-fawn.html
[21:30] <chao06> is there any kind of include function for crontab?  ie have a line like: include </home/user/cron1>
[21:30] <SlidingHorn> ben__ only pointing there because Atheros should usually work out of the box
[21:30] <Slart> a3ist: not sure if it's still valid though.. it's for an older version of ubuntu
[21:30] <fakaras> Slart, under 15,4 inch is netbook , and if don't have dvd too
[21:31] <a3ist> Slart:  Yeah, ie I type "ssh username@hostname", and it hangs for about 10-15 before I get a password prompt.  I've also disabled DSA authentication and get the prob with both pw and pubkey auth.  I'll check out that link though.
[21:31] <Slart> fakaras: oh.. 15,4 inch.. that's the limit? interesting =)
[21:31] <AhmedBH> whats the right click of mouse known as, BUTTON 2 ?
[21:32] <a3ist> AhmedBH, should be but you can double check what yours is with xev
[21:32] <histo> a3ist: mine has always taken a few seconds
[21:32] <vaul> People, how do I hide standard keyboard layout indicator, when I have more than two keyboard layouts?
[21:32] <madbear> i need to free some space on / before i can upgrade, is there away to turn it to default installation only?
[21:32] <histo> a3ist: like 2 seconds
[21:32] <a3ist> histo, I know some latency is just reality, but this is a ~15 second delay on gigabit lan :-/
[21:32] <tyranos_> how can i get a list of ubottu triggers or commands ?
[21:33] <histo> a3ist: yeah thats just odd
[21:33] <Slart> !bot | tyranos_
[21:33] <SlidingHorn> madbear: if you're looking to go to a default install before upgrading, then why don't you just do a fresh install?
[21:33] <histo> a3ist: similiar to what i';m experiencing web browsing delays.  In ubuntu for some reason
[21:33] <ChogyDan> ben__: you want: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic
[21:33] <a3ist> I'm tryin some of the suggestions so if I vanish suddenly that's why
[21:33] <comicinker> madbear: no. but apt-get clean|autoremove|autoclean are your friends
[21:33] <AhmedBH> a3ist: i wanna set right click for viewing windows when i press mod4+E but i dont wanna actually SELECT that window i do that by button one, since i installed compiz i lost right click setting for viewing windows when it expo
[21:34] <tyranos_> thx Slart
[21:34] <madbear> thanks comicinker
[21:34] <Magnetix> hello!
[21:34] <SlidingHorn> !hi|magnetix
[21:34] <AhmedBH> a3ist:I meant SUPER+E
[21:36] <Descriptioned> Black_Prince: you are number one..... im -: Ubuntuu ... i love you......
[21:36] <gangil> hey! I wanted to know which filesystem did 7.04 and 7.10 had , ext3 or ext2?
[21:36] <flyingarg> during one of those synaptic manager installations my CPU shut down. This as resulted in a some 5 packages getting corrupted or something.. After installation i get this message that tese packages culd not be installed.. is there any way to rest the apt\?
[21:36] <acerimmer_> gangil: ext2 iirc
[21:37] <Descriptioned> Black_Prince: Grub install worked thank you alot alot alot alot
[21:37] <acerimmer_> !dpkg|flyingarg
[21:37] <Black_Prince> You welcome, Descriptioned
[21:37] <Descriptioned> Black_Prince: one more question, when i open my pc, i see alot ubuntu linux recovery mode 9.04 etc etc alot like that how i remove them?
[21:37] <_TANK> hmm
[21:37] <ChogyDan> !offline | ben__
[21:37] <flyingarg> acerimmer_ : what do i do with that info ?
[21:38] <gangil> acerimmer_: ok , thanks :)
[21:38] <acerimmer_> flyingarg: wait 1 getting your resource
[21:38] <Descriptioned> i get 6 linux to choose.
[21:38] <Black_Prince> you mean, when you are booting ?
[21:38] <Descriptioned> to Grub
[21:38] <Descriptioned> to choose OS linux or winxp.
[21:38] <fumanchu182> good day, looking to install sun-java6-jre, can't find it in the repos heard it was moved to partners
[21:38] <kaflowski> could anyone please tell me why KlamAV stops scanning at 8% regardless of which folders I am scanning?
[21:38] <Descriptioned> i see alot linux,,, recovery mode etc.
[21:38] <Slart> flyingarg: often you can use dpkg to remove the bad packages.. or reinstall them if they are vital
[21:38] <Black_Prince> ah
[21:38] <comicinker> gangil: hey! ext3 by default
[21:38] <acerimmer_> flyingarg: see the package management tools at the bottom of this sheet  http://files.fosswire.com/2008/04/ubunturef.pdf
[21:38] <Black_Prince> these options are located in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[21:38] <wad> I'm running Glipper, but it shows up on my taskbar and in my app switcher. I don't want it to. Anyone else here solve that problem for 10.04?
[21:39] <Slart> flyingarg: dpkg is a bit more.. how to put it.. stable, when it comes to bad stuff
[21:39] <Descriptioned> you know im noob... how i can remove them and leave only 1..?
[21:39] <gangil> comicinker: both 7.04 and 7.10? actually I googled but nothing promptly came up.
[21:39] <mneptok> Descriptioned: use Synaptic to remove unused kernels
[21:39] <Descriptioned> how ?
[21:39] <Black_Prince> sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[21:39] <Slart> !gksudo | Black_Prince
[21:40] <Descriptioned> use sinaptic how?
[21:40] <mneptok> Descriptioned: open Synaptic, do a search for 2.6
[21:40] <mneptok> Descriptioned: remove all but the latest kernel version
[21:40] <Black_Prince> oh
[21:40] <comicinker> gangil: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/704
[21:40] <Black_Prince> session bus ...
[21:40] <kaflowski> could anyone please tell me why KlamAV stops scanning at 8% regardless of which folders I am scanning?
[21:40] <Descriptioned> whats that?
[21:40] <Black_Prince> just do gksudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[21:41] <mneptok> Black_Prince: if you're using GRUB2, you should follow your own advice, open that file, and read the first 5 lines
[21:41] <_TANK> kaflowski: is it set to not scan files over a certain size? it might be hung on a really big file, which aren't worth scanning
[21:41] <mneptok> Descriptioned: do NOT edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[21:41] <SlidingHorn> !danger
[21:41] <kaflowski> _TANK: it gets stuck for over 12 hours
[21:42] <Descriptioned> its emppy
[21:42] <Descriptioned> empty
[21:42] <Randolph> have a good day/night , bye
[21:42] <_TANK> kaflowski: hmm..... thats just odd.
[21:42] <SlidingHorn> descriptioned: editing configuration files should not be done unless you know exactly what you're doing
[21:42] <_TANK> !danger
[21:42] <mneptok> Descriptioned: use Synaptic to remove older kernel revisions. i told you how.
[21:42] <Black_Prince> Well, They may be right ...
[21:42] <ikonia> _TANK: what's up ?
[21:42] <Slart> lets not play with the bot, _TANK
[21:42] <Black_Prince> I never got friendly with update-grub ...
[21:42] <_TANK> just wanted to see what that does, sorry
[21:42] <Descriptioned> mneptok: i search on synapptic for 2.6 ?
[21:43] <ikonia> _TANK: no problem, you know you can play with the bot in a private message
[21:43] <Slart> _TANK: you can talk to it in private.. it will be just like the real thing.. without the bad consequences =)
[21:43] <SlidingHorn> ikonia, sorry, just putting out a warning for someone advising a noob to edit grub config files
[21:43] <mneptok> Descriptioned: yes. and remove all the OLD versions. be sure to leave the latest version, or youi won;t be able to boot at all.
[21:43] <flyingarg> acerimmer_ , Slart : i tried installing with dpkg  but it always says,, the package is already installed.. but i has not tried purging the troubling package.. will try that thanks... And Slart You are the man!! Every time i come here u are always here to help us out.. really appretiate the good wouk .. :-)
[21:43] <ikonia> SlidingHorn: no problem, it's not exactly "danger" but the thought is well appreciated
[21:43] <Descriptioned> mneptok: how i know witch is the newwest version?
[21:43] <mneptok> Descriptioned: by the version number.
[21:43] <Slart> flyingarg: you're welcome
[21:44] <SlidingHorn> ikonia: I'll be more judicial with my use of it form now on :)
[21:44] <Descriptioned> thanks alot
[21:44] <Descriptioned> all of you guys
[21:44] <Descriptioned> you helped me alot
[21:44] <Descriptioned> thanks all
[21:44] <Descriptioned> specialy Black_Prince.
[21:44] <Descriptioned> and mneptok to.
[21:44] <Descriptioned> :D
[21:45] <h00k> Descriptioned: I'm glad you had a good experience
[21:45] <acerimmer_> flyingarg: download and save this cheat sheet  http://files.fosswire.com/2008/04/ubunturef.pdf
[21:46] <flyingarg> acerimmer_ : already did that .. thanks..
[21:46] <Xpistos> if I compile a program from source, where should I put it when it is done?
[21:46] <Xpistos> /usr/bin
[21:46] <Xpistos> /home/USER/.APPLICATIONNAME
[21:46] <Xpistos> ?
[21:47] <Somelauw> #join python
[21:47] <lint_> hi i've accidently removed the shutdown button from my panel, can someone helop me?
[21:47] <webPragmatist> when i reboot my hostname changes … how do i fix this?
[21:47] <acerimmer_> lint_: right click on the panels and add the applet
[21:47] <john275> Hey guys. Is it possible to run chkdsk or something similar in ubuntu on a ntfs drive?
[21:47] <NightSlash> what are we talking about?
[21:47] <nibbler> Xpistos, not to /bin maybe /opt/ or /usr/local is better - but best: use checkinstall or any other (better) method to build a .deb file, and with this you can put it to /bin directly (--prefix=/)
[21:47] <lint_> acerimmer_: yeah i did that but it no longer has the same icon it had before
[21:47] <SlidingHorn> lint_: right click the panel, select Add to Panel, and find "Shut Down"
[21:48] <acerimmer_> lint_: right click>properties>icon
[21:48] <nibbler> john275, there is ntfstools or smth, do: aptitude search ntfs
[21:49] <Xpistos> nibbler: I haven't used checkinstall before, but I will look into it. thanks
[21:49] <acerimmer_> lint_: see where the icon is presently stored because you'll find the other icons with the other themes
[21:49] <tmas> I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04, but it keeps getting stuck on 5%. I checked the MD5sum of my iso and cd, and they're fine. Any ideas?
[21:49] <MrPink52> In Windows VLC has the possibility to play a Video file as the Desktop Background... is there a way to do this in Ubuntu ?
[21:49] <Slart> john275: nope.. no checkdisk.. you can reset some kind of "run checkdisk please" flag but that's it
[21:50] <acerimmer_> tmas: still?  did you try the alternate install distro?
[21:50] <tmas> acerimmer_: I've gotten 10.04 installed on the same computer before, but I'm installing to a USB disk now.
[21:50] <red2kic> MrPink52: Sure! Just put VLC on full window and put windows over it! :)
[21:50] <Slart> john275: last time I checked I think the official answer was something along the lines of "we're happy we can use ntfs but we're still not good enough to fix errors"
[21:51] <Slart> john275: but that was some time ago
[21:51] <acerimmer_> tmas: installing to usb or creating a usb startup disk - NOT the same
[21:51] <Slart> MrPink52: google for.. xmodmap I think it's called
[21:51] <MrPink52> red2kic: haha :-P
[21:51] <tmas> acerimmer_: I've got to go for a couple minutes, back soon.
[21:51] <merl15> hi all. I stumbled upon the kernel 2.6.32-306-ec2 on the ubuntu minimal install but have been unable to find very much useful information through Google. What is the ec2 line of kernel supposed to be?
[21:51] <MrPink52> Slart: So it is not possible in VLC ?
[21:51] <Slart> MrPink52: bah.. no it's not.. sorry.. not xmodmap..
[21:51] <drphresh> Good afternoon.  I am trying to convert avi to mp4 in WinFF, but when ever I do, it says "Unknown encoder 'libfaac'"? How do I fix this?
[21:51] <nibbler> Slart, john275: ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTF
[21:52] <Slart> MrPink52: it's called xwinwrap
[21:52] <MrPink52> Slart: Yeah, I saw that before... looked kind of complicated -.-
[21:52] <Slart> nibbler, john275: I think that was the flag resetting thing
[21:52] <red2kic> MrPink52: Why do you insist doing something like this? This is definitely for your own entertainment and is not productive at all. Just get a second monitor. :)
[21:52] <Slart> nibbler, john275: but go ahead.. give it a try
[21:53] <pharum> sup sup ppl
[21:53] <MrPink52> red2kic: It is definetly not "important" but eyecandy... I am looking for a smooth loop video for a Desktop Background :O)
[21:53] <Slart> MrPink52: it is.. lets hope compiz implements something easier.
[21:53] <SlidingHorn> !hi|pharum
[21:53] <nibbler> since my update auf 10.4, when clicking an url in xchat i get a popup: Failed to execute child process "firefox-3.5" (No such file or directory) - how to fix this? applies to other applications with links, too i believe i remmber
[21:53] <john275> Slart, and nibbler thanks
[21:53] <nibbler> welcome john275
[21:53] <Xpistos> nibbler: I like that! Thanks for the info. I will definately be using that
[21:53] <pharum> is the flame animation still avalible in compiz ? cuz i have instaled extras and its still missing
[21:54] <Xpistos> Bye everyone
[21:54] <drphresh> I am trying to convert avi to mp4 in WinFF, but when ever I do, it says "Unknown encoder 'libfaac'"? How do I fix this?
[21:54] <Slart> john275: from the man page of ntfsfix "ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems. ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows."
[21:54] <CaptainTrek> whats the command that lists all hard drives / removable media and the partitions on each device?
[21:54] <CaptainTrek> in terminal
[21:54] <red2kic> MrPink52: My advice? Use Picture Slideshow. Set it to change every 30 minutes. You don't want something that will be hogging your CPU often if you're not going to actively watch it. That's why I have a TV+cable nearby. :P
[21:54] <Slart> CaptainTrek: blkid? cat /etc/mtab?
[21:54] <Slart> CaptainTrek: fdisk -l ?
[21:55] <Slart> CaptainTrek: might need a sudo on some of those
[21:55] <nibbler> CaptainTrek, sudo fdisk -l
[21:55] <nibbler> oh...
[21:55] <MrPink52> red2kic: I am mostly just playing arround... but I was surprised how fluently and little ressources it cost with vlc in Windows
[21:55] <CaptainTrek> that works, nibbler, slart.  thanks
[21:55] <Slart> CaptainTrek: you're welcome
[21:55] <drphresh> I am trying to convert avi to mp4 in WinFF, but when ever I do, it says "Unknown encoder 'libfaac'"? How do I fix this?
[21:55] <Slart> MrPink52: vlc in windows has a "run movie as background" thing?
[21:55] <jo_> hi all
[21:55] <chalcedony> i don't know what i broke but my sound just quit. can someone help me?
[21:55] <MrPink52> Slart: yes
[21:55] <nibbler> !repeat | drphresh
[21:56] <Slart> MrPink52: will have to try that the next time I go there
[21:56] <drphresh> sry
[21:56] <comicinker> drphresh: apt-get install libfaac ?
[21:56] <MrPink52> Slart: That is why I was surprised when I couldn't find it in VLC in Ubuntu
[21:57] <Slart> MrPink52: it probably just uses some existing windows api feature.. but I'm just guessing
[21:57] <jo_> i have a usb skype phone (skyU2M) any ideas how to make it work in ubuntu 10.04???
[21:58] <comicinker> MrPink52: what version of vlc runs on windows/ubuntu?
[21:58] <duffydack> drphresh, depends how you installed ffmpeg... repo or compiled.. you really should go for the compiling method, but anyway, try edit the preset in winff (it sometimes doesnt use the right parameters) change libfaac to faac
[21:58] <pharum> is the flame animation still avlible in ubuntu 10.04? becouse its missing still after reinstall whole thing and installing extra pacage
[21:58] <_holmser> If I set up an ssh tunnel from my work computer, what information will the IT guy actually be able to see about my network activities?
[21:58] <stuardo> hi everyone
[21:58] <sebsebseb> stuardo: hi
[21:58] <_holmser> I'm assuming he will be able to see that I have a connection from my work computer to my domain, but nothing else?
[21:59] <Black_Prince> I need to buy glases for this channel
[21:59] <stuardo> does someone know how to tell moovida to read videos.rmvb ?
[21:59] <duffydack> drphresh, you`ll get more help in #ffmpeg but only if you compile it yourself. its super easy. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095
[21:59] <nibbler> _holmser, he might see that you have an ssh session running that produces a lot of traffic, and both involved IPs
[21:59] <jo_> i have a usb skype phone (skyU2M) any ideas how to make it work in ubuntu 10.04???
[21:59] <_holmser> but that would be the extent of it, right nibbler?
[21:59] <drphresh> duffydack: is #ffmpeg another irc channel?
[21:59] <acerimmer_> jo_: http://www.beyondtel.com/Download/manual/HA5255%20manual.pdf
[21:59] <nibbler> _holmser, absolutely. and even the fact that it is ssh can be hidden, more or less
[21:59] <duffydack> drphresh, yes
[22:00] <_holmser> so how would I disguise it from being seen as ssh?
[22:00] <jo_> thanks
[22:00] <stuardo> I can see videos.rmvb via totem, but not via moovida, anyone?
[22:00] <acerimmer_> jo_: does your phone have to be plugged in to operate?
[22:00] <nibbler> _holmser, if you are scared about your it, watch out for changed key notices in your ssh client :)
[22:00] <rafaelsoaresbr> holmser, use another TCP port
[22:01] <_holmser> I'm not worried about it, my IT guy is a tool with a god complex
[22:01] <Roasted> whenever I try to update my ubuntu box, I get a ton of errors saying "something wicked happened when trying to resolve host" what gives?
[22:01] <nibbler> _holmser, eg remove the banner that is send in clear text when anyone connects to the IP (OpenSSH-4.3 blah) and use another port
[22:01] <acerimmer_> _holmser: !  aren't we all?  (!ot)
[22:01] <jo_> acerimmer --yes
[22:01] <_holmser> I'm just tired of him giving me shit for my browsing habits when I know full well he sits in his office and looks at porn all day
[22:01] <h00k> !language | _holmser
[22:01] <_holmser> sorry
[22:01] <Slart> Roasted: have you added 3rd party repositories to your software sources?
[22:01] <h00k> !guideliens > _holmser
[22:02] <_holmser> alright, thanks
[22:02] <acerimmer_> jo_: ok.  mine is a wifi so I don't need it to interact with ubuntu.
[22:02] <nibbler> _holmser, best is always to use port 443, as this is unifltered in most cases
[22:02] <h00k> !guidelines > _holmser
[22:02] <jo_> mine is usb cable
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> hey guys, do the file in ~/.config/autostart HAVE to be .desktop files?
[22:02] <_holmser> none of my ports are filtered, and he couldn't find his way out of a paper bag without a gui, so I feel pretty safe.
[22:02] <_holmser> thanks for the help
[22:03] <acerimmer_> gwibber: how do I flush old messages?
[22:03] <red2kic> ActionParsnip: I guess? I see gnome-do.desktop in mine.
[22:03] <dart_> my panel becomes distorted when i place it on left or right side of the desktop
[22:03] <acerimmer_> dart_: paste bin a pic
[22:04] <Roasted> hi??
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> red2kic: i'll have to have a play, i'll let you know
[22:05] <nibbler> _holmser, you use ssh -D?
[22:05] <nibbler> _holmser, but be sure to also resolve your hostnames via the tunnel :)
[22:05] <comicinker> dart_: this is a long, outstanding bug in gtk/gnome
[22:05] <dart_> my panel becomes distorted when i place it on left or right side of the desktop....http://yfrog.com/4jscreenshotffp
[22:06] <alexi5> do any of you guys do any web application development on ubuntu ?
[22:06] <acerimmer_> !hi|roasted
[22:06] <SlidingHorn> !anyone|alexi5
[22:06] <alexi5> sorry
[22:06] <acerimmer_> dart_: but it works fine at top or bottom, right?
[22:06] <comicinker> dart_: but you have to set the size first....
[22:06] <dart_> acerimmer_, ya
[22:07] <dart_> comicinker, size?
[22:07] <sebsebseb> alexi5: Thats probably a bit off topic, but what web development?  What kind of stuff?
[22:07] <comicinker> right mouse on some free space of the panel->configure
[22:07] <acerimmer_> dart_: I don't have the fix, but I've seen it before.  Ask again every 15 minutes.
[22:08] <alexi5> just wanted to know waht web application frameworks they use so i can get an idead on what is out there for linux ?

[22:08] <powerpanda> I'm trying to install pastebin but i get this readout in the console http://pastebin.com/PrxjSUCL
[22:08] <comicinker> or in gconf-editor/apps/panel/toplevels/[top|bottom]_panel_screen0/size
[22:08] <dart_> my panel becomes distorted when i place it on left or right side of the desktop....http://yfrog.com/4jscreenshotffp...is der a way to solve it???

[22:09] <thune3> dart_: i looked, what distortion are you talking about (i don't see what you mean)
[22:10] <dart_> thune3, the panel shows strange bars...these bars are not present when the panel is placed at top

[22:11] <acerimmer_> dart_: been thinking.  try changing the properties on that panel - transparency
[22:11] <thune3> dart_: it has to do with gradient shading. the shading appears broken on side view.
[22:12] <comicinker> dart_: that comes from the background image,
[22:12] <dart_> comicinker, thune3, how can i solve this??
[22:12] <acerimmer_> comicinker: so is it flipping the background image 90 degrees or something?
[22:13] <thune3> dart_: choose properties on panel, background, select solid color.  it might not match your theme
[22:13] <comicinker> dart_: just use a plain image or no image at all (solid color)
[22:13] <powerpanda> i'm trying to install glib-s.25.8 but i get this readout in the console http://pastebin.com/PrxjSUCL
[22:13] <powerpanda> what do these error codes mean?
[22:14] <yoritomo> join #ubuntu-fr
[22:14] <tmas> acerimmer_: Back
[22:15] <dart_> thune3, ah forget it it cant be solved
[22:15] <NlGGERFCK> ohhh, freenode and irc.ubuntu.com are the same.
[22:16] <thune3> dart_: that doesn't work?
[22:16] <sebsebseb> !ops
[22:16] <ikonia> what's up
[22:16] <cynical> okay, total noob question about partitioning, pretty simple yes/no stuff : Once a partition is created do you have to wipe it and start from scratch if you need it resized? or do tools like gparted actually let you make a partition smaller without damaging your data?
[22:16] <sebsebseb> ikonia: the name
[22:16] <cynical> Either way, i realise i ought to back up anything crucial before messing with the partitions, just in case.
[22:16] <dart_> thune3, i wonder why these small bugs are never fixed...like the (in) famous paste bug
[22:16] <tmas> acerimmer_: I'm installing to a USB harddrive, not creating a USB boot disk.
[22:17] <duffydack> cynical, you can resize..
[22:17] <dancallo> I'm having problems with Synaptic Manager running indefinitely applying changes. The screen at http://imagebin.org/101468 shows this process that runs for hours without changing. What does it indicate?
[22:18] <duffydack> cynical, for a / partition tho you`d have to use a livecd to use gparted to resize it as they need to be unmounted before you can.
[22:18] <sebsebseb> ikonia: Maybe not really an emergency, but I guess names like that aren't alloweed.  However they changed it now.
[22:19] <SlidingHorn> dart_: the issue has nothing to do with Ubuntu itself, it's the theme not being compatible with side panels
[22:19] <cynical> duffydack: yup, the tutorial already alerted me to the livecd need, and i've just dug out my puppylinux CD to make it work
[22:19] <ikonia> sebsebseb: I ee it
[22:19] <ikonia> see
[22:19] <tmas> I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04, but it keeps getting stuck on 5%. I checked the MD5sum of my iso and cd, and they're fine. Any ideas?
[22:20] <acerimmer_> tmas: restate the issue for the board.  Personally, I think just creating a start up disk is a whole lot easier than the USB install.  but that's me :)
[22:20] <dancallo> tmas: have you checked the integrity of your hard drive?
[22:20] <tmas> (I'm installing on a USB harddrive)
[22:20] <dart_> SlidingHorn, but the issue is with the default themes that are shipped with ubuntu
[22:20] <tmas> dancallo: no. how do I do that?
[22:20] <SlidingHorn> dart_: what theme...and could you paste the imagebin again?  I'm sorry, I didn't see it the first time
[22:20] <dancallo> You would need some utilities that came with the USB drive to do that.
[22:20] <tmas> acerimmer_: How  would I set up a USB boot disk?
[22:21] <dart_> SlidingHorn, http://yfrog.com/4jscreenshotffp
[22:21] <tmas> dancallo: My
[22:21] <tmas> USB drive came with no utilities
[22:21] <tmas> (sorry, hit enter accidentally)
[22:21] <acerimmer_> tmas: System>Administration>Startup Disk Creator
[22:21] <dancallo> tmas: check manufacturer's website for these utilities and download.
[22:21] <tmas> acerimmer_: On livecd?
[22:21] <sebsebseb> SebDroas:  irc.ubuntu.com connects to Freenode
[22:22] <acerimmer_> tmas: yes
[22:22] <ninjai> with the command line how can I list all my printers?
[22:22] <tmas> Wait, after over an hour of waiting it got past partitioning!
[22:22] <tmas> I hope it's bootable...
[22:22] <dancallo> Can anyone tell me why Synaptic Manager in Ubuntu 10.04 would run for hours on a package and not move on to another package?
[22:23] <sebsebseb> dancallo: when its trying to install a package?
[22:23] <dancallo> sebsebseb: Applying changes
[22:23] <sebsebseb> dancallo: maybe it crashed
[22:23] <dancallo> http://imagebin.org/101468 is a pastebin of the app.
[22:24] <dancallo> sebsebseb: The app MySQL-Server-5.1 is unstable
[22:25] <sebsebseb> dancallo: is unstable what?
[22:25] <sebsebseb> dancallo: anything from the Ubuntu repo, is pretty stable really
[22:25] <ikonia> 5.1 is a stable release
[22:25] <dancallo> sebsebseb: the app MySQL-Server-5.1 that Synaptic Manager is applying changes on (update) is unstable.
[22:26] <ikonia> dancallo: in what way ?
[22:26] <sebsebseb> dancallo: What do you mean exactly by unstable?
[22:26] <aoeu> I've recently reinstalled ubuntu, and in my old system I had an encrypted /home. Now I installed everything, but I haven't configured the home-partition. How do I make it my /home? Using my old fstab and cryptab didn't work, it couldn't find the partition in the boot.
[22:26] <dancallo> The app has caused an instablility in the sysem
[22:26] <dancallo> system
[22:26] <ikonia> dancallo: define instability
[22:26] <dancallo> what?
[22:26] <sebsebseb> aoeu: uh yeah encrypted home, personally I woudn't bother
[22:27] <ikonia> dancallo: explain what you mean by instability
[22:27] <sebsebseb> aoeu: 1.  I don't need to.  2.  I know it can go wrong later on, when re installing Ubuntu
[22:27] <aoeu> sebsebseb: My whole system is encrypted
[22:27] <dancallo> Synaptic Manager is telling me that MySQL-Server-5.1 has become unstable and that I need to reinstall it, but I can't
[22:27] <_TANK> and my whole system is about as open as a thai hooker!
[22:27] <ikonia> dancallo: no it's not telling you that
[22:27] <aoeu> sebsebseb: I can mount it and see all my files, so nothing has gone wrong... yet
[22:27] <anomaly> I did sudo vncserver since without does not work.. yet when I connect to it, it logs me in as root.. I am wanting to log in as a user instead.  any ideas? :)
[22:27] <dancallo> What is it telling me then?
[22:27] <ikonia> dancallo: what is the exact error message you are getting
[22:28] <dancallo> I provided a pastebin of the app.
[22:28] <LjL> ikonia: it does seem from the screenshot that it's attempting to replace one version with the very same version, however...
[22:28] <sebsebseb> aoeu: ok I can't really help you, but someone else will be able to I expect, so good luck :)
[22:28] <dancallo> No error message, just never stops updating
[22:28] <aoeu> sebsebseb: thx anyway
[22:28] <LjL> dancallo: eh? nowhere in that paste does it talk about "unstable"
[22:28] <ikonia> I've not seen a screen shot
[22:28] <LjL> ikonia: http://imagebin.org/101468
[22:28] <ikonia> thanks
[22:29] <dancallo> I know that. What I'm telling you is Synaptic Manager says it is unstable and that I should reinstall it, but when I go to reinstall it, the reinstallation never ceases.
[22:29] <dancallo> Never finishes
[22:29] <om3> hi
[22:29] <LjL> dancallo: have you tried doing "sudo apt-get -f install" from the console instead?
[22:29] <dancallo> Yes
[22:29] <ikonia> dancallo: synaptic says nothing of the short
[22:29] <ikonia> sort
[22:29] <anomaly> anyone?
[22:30] <dancallo> Ikonia: You're not helping me just criticizing me.
[22:30] <wavedigit> hi everyone, when I first got my USB HDD I made an image of the local disk using the 'dd' command, the speeds were then around 20mb/s. Now, I can't get it over 10mb/s, what can I do to increase the speeds?
[22:30] <comicinker> dancallo: maybe the update-manager crashed ?
[22:30] <eleljrk> Hey there! :)
[22:30] <sebsebseb> !ask | anomaly
[22:30] <sebsebseb> anomaly: oh you did
[22:30] <om3> anyone here could help me solving problems with timidity daemon?
[22:30] <ikonia> dancallo: I'm suggesting you stop making issues up and explain the real issue, that mysql is being updated with the same version and never actually installs
[22:30] <LjL> dancallo, ikonia is trying to understand. you keep saying that Synaptic claims the package is "unstable", but there's no way known to us that Synaptic would say something like that.
[22:30] <dancallo> Most likely. How do I work around an unstable MySQL-Server-5.1 if I can't reinstall it then remove it.
[22:30] <ikonia> dancallo: it says nothing about instability, causing system instability or telling you to re-install
[22:30] <dancallo> Well it does
[22:30] <sebsebseb> anomaly: right you don't want to do VNC with root
[22:31] <sebsebseb> anomaly: as far as I know
[22:31] <ikonia> dancallo: no it does not -
[22:31] <sebsebseb> !vnc > anomaly
[22:31] <LjL> dancallo: then will you show us the exact message where it says that? because it's NOT in the screenshot.
[22:31] <eleljrk> My ubuntu installation does get stuck / closed down on every try. I used the "Use The Whole HDD" thing, so I got no OS on that computer.
[22:31] <dancallo> ikonia: forget it. I'll find help somewhere else.
[22:31] <FactTech> Question: I am trying to get CPU scaling to work on a laptop using Lucid. It worked on this hardware under a previous installation of Hardy. I've added the p4_clockmod to the /etc/modules file, but, although the GNOME CPU scaling widget seems to be working, the setting is stuck on "Performance". Anyone think they can help diagnose the problem?
[22:31] <anomaly> sebsebseb I want to connect as a user, yes.  yet, it is having me in as root. :)
[22:31] <acerimmer_> eleljrk: did you checksum your download and your install disk?
[22:31] <sebsebseb> anomaly: VNC with root doesn't sound like a good idea, at all
[22:32] <eleljrk> Define checksum
[22:32] <anomaly> sebsebseb that is how it is set up ootb.  works fine, except for that.
[22:32] <acerimmer_> !checksum|eleljrk
[22:32] <anomaly> what setting/file needs to be looked at?
[22:32] <sebsebseb> anomaly: Local Area Network or over the Internet?
[22:32] <om3> I'd like to make "Impro-Visor" run with timidity / aconnect / snd_virmidi
[22:32] <anomaly> internet
[22:32] <acerimmer_> eleljrk: because a faulty download or disc will do kinda what you described.
[22:32] <eleljrk> Well
[22:32] <comicinker> anomaly: are you using a ssh tunnel?
[22:33] <anomaly> using tightvncserver btw.
[22:33] <sebsebseb> anomaly: ok well  the message I got the bot to pm you,  has a link that will tell you how to set it up properly, and over SSH as well, so its secure
[22:33] <eleljrk> It get stuck when it's creating the ext4..
[22:33] <acerimmer_> eleljrk: check - the - quality - of - your - installation - download
[22:34] <FactTech> !scaling
[22:34] <eleljrk> Acerimmer, I got 1 ordered disc, first to fail. I downloaded another, same thing happened at the same moment
[22:34] <eleljrk> Its not the disc
[22:34] <anomaly> comicinker just trying to get it working in general for now.  it loads fine with xtightvncviewer localhost:1 but as root.  I want to vnc in as a user.
[22:34] <chalcedony> i started Audacity and looked at help, now my sound won't work - ubuntu 9.04
[22:34] <FactTech> !frequency
[22:34] <lolfetish> how do I disable touchpad on laptop?  cant find any options on my desktop
[22:34] <FactTech> !cpu
[22:34] <acerimmer_> eleljrk: ok.
[22:35] <SlidingHorn> !details|chalcedony
[22:35] <acerimmer_> eleljrk: wait a few, then ask again.  include the little detail that the disc you ordered failed as well as the downloaded iso
[22:35] <eleljrk> acerimmer: could it be the fact that I always use my local language? Or maybe that I change my PC name from "-name- - laptop" to "-name- - PC"?
[22:35] <acerimmer_> eleljrk: beyond that, how new/old is your computer especailly the HDD
[22:36] <duffydack> lolfetish, try the gpointing-device-settings package
[22:36] <biston> good morning, i've just installed gnome-desktop-environment and vnc4server using apt-get, but when i connect to the vnc server all what I can see is the desktop background, no icons, no task bar... what should I do to enable the desktop?
[22:36] <sebsebseb> biston: ok VNC over local area network or the Internet?
[22:36] <eleljrk> The computer is 1 year old, (everything) and I got plenty with space / RaM
[22:36] <FactTech> eleljrk: Have you tried using a different kind of filesystem (e.g. ext3)?
[22:36] <chalcedony> SlidingHorn, until i started audacity to see if it would work, my sound was fine, i could hear youtubes. i opened help in audacity and closed it. that's all.  now i can't hear them.
[22:36] <acerimmer_> eleljrk: language settings should not fry your hdd.  nor should the name change which is for the benefit of the network
[22:36] <om3> is there some specific audio channel or ubuntu-studio?
[22:36] <biston> sebsebseb over internet
[22:36] <eleljrk> FactTech: How can I change during the installation?
[22:36] <sebsebseb> biston: ok the bot will pm you a link, so you can set it up securely, using SSH
[22:37] <acerimmer_> om3: ubuntustudio is usually empty.  what's up?
[22:37] <chalcedony> SlidingHorn, i have ubuntu 9.04
[22:37] <sebsebseb> !vnc > biston
[22:37] <biston> okay, thanks
[22:37] <om3> acerimmer_, im trying to make improvisor run with timidity
[22:37] <FactTech> eleljrk: You have to specify manual partitioning. When you set up your partitions, you can choose the filesystem type for each.
[22:37] <biston> !FreeNX
[22:37] <sebsebseb> biston: np
[22:37] <om3> it did work for some time, but now it somehow broke and i don't understand anything
[22:37] <sebsebseb> biston: you can also do factoids with the bot in pm by the way
[22:37] <mneptok> chalcedony: when you say "sound won;t work?' in what app do you mean?
[22:38] <acerimmer_> om3: wiat a few then ask again
[22:38] <biston> ah okay, thanks for the help and the tips
[22:38] <acerimmer_> sorry i don't know
[22:38] <lost> i found a solution to get itunes installed!!!!!!!!!!
[22:38] <chalcedony> mneptok youtube?
[22:38] <comicinker> lost: yes, you are
[22:38] <sebsebseb> lost: Oh? Wine? Windows virtual machine?
[22:38] <eleljrk> FactTech: I've been using the Graphical Installation
[22:38] <mneptok> chalcedony: Firefox?
[22:38] <acerimmer_> eleljrk: you might want to try the alternate installation
[22:38] <FactTech> eleljrk: That's fine. It's an option in the graphical installation.
[22:38] <chalcedony> mneptok, yes i didn't try it in opera
[22:38] <FactTech> eleljrk: I'm guessing some issue with the hard drive.
[22:39] <mneptok> chalcedony: quit Firefox and restart it. sound should come back.
[22:39] <ubuntitude> hey, all. I've got some kind of persistent glitch in all of GNOME's multimedia players that causes the volume to increase to maximum, regardless of what it is set to. Any ideas on how to remedy this?
[22:39] <lost> firstly, install daap server and safari. after that itunes will install
[22:39] <FactTech> eleljrk: You can try some hard drive diagnostics.
[22:39] <sebsebseb> lost: whats daap server?
[22:39] <sebsebseb> sounds familur
[22:39] <h00k> !daap
[22:39] <h00k> d'aw
[22:39] <FactTech> eleljrk: Have you looked for issues associated with the specific type of drive or your specific model of computer?
[22:39] <mneptok> chalcedony: your soundcard probably does not support hardware mixing in that older version of PulseAudio. that means that most recent app you launched that wants to use the soundcard is the only one that will.
[22:39] <chalcedony> mneptok i killed firefox opera and audacity .. no sound
[22:39] <SlidingHorn> ubuntitude: may be a dumb question, but have you tried changing the main volume with the volume applet in the panel?
[22:39] <lost> seb aptitude search mt-daap
[22:40] <sebsebseb> lost: Loads of better players for Linux distros though :)  also Ubuntu has its music store in 10.04
[22:40] <mneptok> chalcedony: log out and back in.
[22:40] <chalcedony> mneptok, you mean close everything and do that?
[22:40] <ubuntitude> slidinghorn: yeah, the normal volume works, but the sliders in the apps themselves won't stay at anything other than maximum
[22:40] <mneptok> chalcedony: yes.
[22:40] <mattgyver> rdesktop suddenly keeps throwing "Error: Connection reset by peer" I can connect from windows boxes still though, any ideas?
[22:41] <chalcedony> ick
[22:41] <HotTuna> Hello, I have a server (ubuntu 9.10) and a desktop (ubuntu 10.04) the server is running NFS, both computer's NIC's are configured for 100mbps and the router is too but im getting terrible transfer speeds, any ideas?
[22:41] <chalcedony> no other ways mnemon ?
[22:41] <duffydack> You`d think Apple would port Itunes to linux.. "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and all that
[22:41] <mneptok> chalcedony: you can try opening a terminal and running "killall pulseaudio"
[22:41] <om3> anyone here expert for linux - midi?
[22:41] <h00k> duffydack: that conversation is probably better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:41] <CaptainTrek> duffydack:  #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat
[22:41] <chalcedony> let's try that first
[22:41] <lost> seb: only thing is i got problem with glx api
[22:41] <sebsebseb> duffydack: Apple and Microsoft are kind of friends sometimes, and don't compete properly with each other,  but this is off topic
[22:42] <ubuntitude> duffydack: true, but linux can still run on Windows hardware; Jobs wants everyone to have to buy their expensive computers :P
[22:42] <chalcedony> i have dozens of things that have to be closed one at a time
[22:42] <_TANK> HotTuna: are all the packets going through, is the network properly set up? are both running on the same hd format?
[22:42] <ubuntitude> SlidingHorn: did you get my last post?
[22:42] <acerimmer_> om3: studio channels: #ubuntustudio-devel and #ubuntustudio
[22:42] <sebsebseb> ubuntitude: Linux can also run on Macs :)
[22:43] <HotTuna> _TANK, well its all wired connection, the router is set for 100mpbs, the nic's on the machines are set and confirmed using mii-tool and yea both ext4
[22:43] <ubuntitude> sebsebseb: true, but can OS X run on Windows hardware?
[22:43] <biston> one more problem i'm having. earlier today, I've uninstalled a font, and then this started happening ( http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/YfHNQv0E ), fontconfig would start, with no output and wouldn't end; i've waited four hours for it to end but it didnt. So now whenever i use apt-get i just open another ssh session and kill the fontconfig process and apt-get would continue normally. is there any bug in the fontconfig script on ubuntu server 10.04? how can i solve
[22:43] <sebsebseb> ubuntitude: not properly, and not legally
[22:43] <duffydack> It was just an off the cuff comment, not meant to be a full blown debate.. but anyway
[22:43] <ubuntitude> sebsebseb: that's what i meant. It's software compatibility monopoly :P
[22:44] <h00k> !ot
[22:44] <sebsebseb> ubuntitude: and you meant PC's,  since WIndows hardware does not exist, and lets end the off topic here :)
[22:44] <_TANK> hottuna, sorry dude, i has no clue. might want to check the write/read performance on the HD's but thats all I can think of. sorry
[22:44] <ubuntitude> sebsebseb: fair enough :)
[22:44] <comicinker> biston: reinstall that font
[22:45] <HotTuna> _TANK, im getting about 4mb/s used to get atleast 10mb/s on 9.10 my desktop has an intel ssd and the hd on the server is fine im stumped too....
[22:45] <mneptok> HotTuna: what happens when you transfer over ssh?
[22:45] <HotTuna> mnemon, never tried it, wouldn't that just be adding overhead and slower anyway
[22:45] <mneptok> HotTuna: it will rule out NFS config problems.
[22:46] <HotTuna> hrm. how do I go about that I only use ssh for console right now
[22:46] <biston> comicinker i already tried that, but didn't work
[22:46] <mneptok> HotTuna: is ssh installed on the server?
[22:46] <HotTuna> mnemon, yea
[22:46] <HotTuna> err
[22:46] <mneptok> HotTuna: you have some tab-complete fail
[22:46] <HotTuna> mneptok, yea
[22:46] <Hutsi> hey who have adress bt4 irc ?
[22:47] <mneptok> HotTuna: on the desktop, go to Places > Connect to server
[22:47] <mneptok> HotTuna: choose SSH as the connection type.
[22:47] <mneptok> HotTuna: from there you should know what to do.
[22:47] <HotTuna> mneptok, i see it gimme a sec
[22:47] <chalcedony> mneptok, i killall'd firefox opera audacity and pulseaudio - still no sound :(( and i'm going to need to record sound at some point in the future :(
[22:48] <HotTuna> mneptok, where is the nfs config file located also
[22:48] <mneptok> chalcedony: then a log out and back in, then a reboot are the next steps
[22:48] <HotTuna> (i forget)
[22:48] <comicinker> biston: what is defoma?
[22:48] <biston> :/ defoma is the debian font manager
[22:48] <SlidingHorn> !sound|chalcedony
[22:49] <biston> de = debian, fo = font, ma = manager
[22:49] <comicinker> biston: and what happens if you run defoma-reconfigure -f
[22:49] <HotTuna> mneptok, ssh is significantly worse at a whopping 1.6mb
[22:49] <mneptok> HotTuna: for NFSv4 there are 3. /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server, /etc/default/nfs-common and /etc/exports.
[22:49] <mneptok> HotTuna: so then we can assume that there are no *really* poor NFS configs.
[22:49] <HotTuna> mneptok, yea I rememberd the exports part only.
[22:49] <biston> comicinker: same thing, dpkg --configure -a eventually runs defoma-reconfigure -f, that's where everything hangs
[22:50] <comicinker> is defoma running somewhere?
[22:50] <HotTuna> mneptok, hrm well ssh is slow also.
[22:51] <biston> comicinker no it's not
[22:51] <biston> debian runs it whenever you add/remove/update a font
[22:51] <biston> to configure the font ...

[22:52] <darko3d> does anybody here have any experience in using truecrypt under ubuntu

[22:59] <mhall> I am experiencing a nasty bug in 10.04 on my notebook. Sometimes after coming back from suspend-to-RAM, invoking any command or attempting to launch anything results in "Input/output error", but Magic SysRq still works, however the magic S-U-B trilogy does not appear able to properly sync and remount the disks any more. It's almost like the SATA driver or other disk I/O suspend/resume is cracked. It worked fine back in 09.10. Has anyone else seen this? Is 
[22:59] <sebsebseb> Hutsi: Backtrack is not a Desktop OS

[23:00] <sebsebseb> Backtrack is meant to be for security pros
[23:00] <sebsebseb> no one else
[23:00] <h00k> Hutsi: Backtrack support can be found in #backtrack-linux, it is not supported here.
[23:00] <Hutsi> ok
[23:00] <sebsebseb> only fools use Backtrack as a desktop OS
[23:00] <biston> kobrien depends on what phone you're using
[23:00] <kobrien> biston: Nexus One
[23:00] <comicinker> biston: hmm...
[23:00] <sebsebseb> _TANK: it may be based on Ubuntu, but it is nothing like it
[23:01] <slow-motion> n8
[23:01] <h00k> It also has its own set of repositories.
[23:01] <kthomas_vh_> quick way to tell if a server is apache-sll or apache-modssl?
[23:01] <_TANK> sebsebseb: throw gnome on it, add ubuntu repos, and you've got ubuntu dude
[23:01] <biston> kobrien i didn't try that one yet; does it have some kind of 'mass-memory' mode when you plug it in to a usb port?
[23:01] <mhall> _TANK: this is kind of like the classic "ubuntu is not debian" argument often seen in #debian. even if you are right you have 0% chance of winning it.
[23:02] <sebsebseb> _TANK: maybe look on distrowatch at what backtrack is or something.  It is not an OS that is meant to be used  for normal computer useage.
[23:02] <mhall> _TANK: you should find a better way to occupy your time than debating this with Ubuntu experts
[23:02] <biston> kobrien: let me rephrase my question, what happens when you first plug in the device via usb to the pc?
[23:02] <h00k> !ot
[23:03] <shoopdawoop> darko3d: you could use http://www.scramdisklinux.org/ instead
[23:03] <_TANK> mhall: sorry, studying python gets boring sometimes :P
[23:03] <kobrien> biston: the device asks whether I want it mounted to usb or not
[23:03] <darko3d> shoopdawoop: nah, im looking for something thats crossplatform
[23:03] <biston> kobrien let's move this to #ubuntu-offtopic, shall we?
[23:03] <mhall> _TANK: one of the qualities most useful to a commerical programmer is developing an inability to be bored by even the most inane topics
[23:03] <shoopdawoop> darko3d: it can use TC volumes just fine
[23:04] <mhall> _TANK: :)
[23:04] <darko3d> shoopdawoop: im looking to create ntfs volumes
[23:04] <kobrien> biston: sure
[23:04] <comicinker> darko3d: luks is available for windows
[23:04] <shoopdawoop> darko3d: and if you had read the first sentence on the webpage, you would know that it can also create TC volumes
[23:04] <mhall> _TANK: preferably the inane topics will be the work that's given to you by your company
[23:04] <shoopdawoop> darko3d: reading is hard isnt it
[23:04] <_TANK> mhall: good to know

The installation window get closed after a while on 5% (Creating ext4 filesystem). Everything stops, but the background is still there. How can this issue be skipped, and how can a "newbie" change a filesystem? - Writen on iPod, I will respond slowly..

[23:05] <_TANK> mhall: it isn't so much that the topic is inane, its the fact that E3 coverage is on.
[23:05] <darko3d> shoopdawoop: wow....thanks...i guess
[23:05] <biston> comicinker i know, pretty confusing, i spent my entire day trying to figure out the problem. i gave up on it, and now another problem popped up, vncserver starts X, with desktop (i can see the desktop background picture) but no icons on it or taskbar ... i've used apt-get purge on all gnome and vnc packages, even the Xsession conf files, still ain't working

[23:07] <comicinker> biston: before the font problem is not solved, everything on your  machine can be broken. sometimes openoffice won't start when the right fonts are not installed, sometimes even gdm/gnome will have problems. especially vnc wants some fonts. fonts fonts fonts

[23:08] <mhall> eleljrk: did you try running DBAN in verify mode to see if the disk is shot?
[23:08] <mhall> eleljrk: we have to try to eliminate some variables (bad CD, bad drive, software problem), etc.
[23:08] <kpoman> hi
[23:08] <_TANK> jo_, 32 bit or 64?
[23:08] <biston> comicinker: ah, yea, true. maybe that's the problem with VNC. let me look at some logs of X to see what's going on
[23:08] <kpoman> guys is there a repository where I can find alternative drivers ?
[23:08] <jo_> 32
[23:09] <HotTuna> mneptok, you still here?
[23:09] <comicinker> biston: try to copy the files from the font package you remove manually, then reset somehow the defoma status
[23:09] <eleljrk> mhall: It would be a option if I had 1 disc of ubuntu, but as I stated, I got 2.
[23:09] <sebsebseb> eleljrk: mhall  Uhmm Dban is a tool for cleaning hard disk
[23:09] <om3> kpoman what driver are you looking for?
[23:09] <kpoman> om3: rtl8187l
[23:09] <kpoman> om3: a wifi card driver
[23:09] <biston> comicinker right after i check the logs... vnc logs show nothing, going to X
[23:10] <mhall> sebsebseb: yeah but DBAN has got a mode called verify mode, where each time it cleans a spot it checks if what it wrote matches what it reads back... the verify mode
[23:10] <mhall> eleljrk: of course sebsebseb is right, if you need to save any of the data DBAN is dangerous
[23:10] <sebsebseb> mhall: right, but people might have issues burning a Dban CD
[23:10] <sebsebseb> mhall: and then mess up, and delete everything from their hard disk as well
[23:11] <eleljrk> My computer is OS-less.. :P
[23:11] <mhall> sebsebseb: i didn't think it'd be too bad to burn, but would agree on the danger level
[23:11] <mhall> sebsebseb: in this case apparently the PC is empty anyway

[23:12] <mhall> jo_: did you already get "normal skype" to work?
[23:12] <mhall> jo_: maybe take it one step at a time, and start with an el cheapo mic and phones
[23:12] <biston> comicinker any idea about where I can find X logs? i got nothing in /var/log/gdm/
[23:13] <om3> kpoman. i think there's a tool to use windows wifi drivers under linux, if there is no native driver
[23:13] <mhall> jo_: skype will always be kind of hard though because it's closed source
[23:13] <mhall> jo_: it tends to behave weirdly on my notebook when i've tried it before
[23:13] <eleljrk> Uhmm, my problem isn't solved yet, any ideas..?
[23:13] <kpoman> om3: ndiswrapper yes
[23:13] <mhall> eleljrk: 1) patience
[23:13] <comicinker> biston: /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[23:13] <om3> yup
[23:14] <biston> i don't have that

[23:16] <googleman> recently i download a file of 3.5GIb
[23:16] <googleman> and its corupted
[23:16] <biston> redownload
[23:17] <comicinker> googleman: interesting story
[23:17] <SlidingHorn> eleljrk: I'm not sure what your problem is, could you provide more details?  (Also, if English isn't your first language, let us know.  We'll show you a channel where you will not have to translate)
[23:17] <googleman> i want to split file into 10 part and hash it
[23:17] <googleman> comicinker: i download with 50K/s

[23:17] <Dawidek> witam
[23:17] <Dawidek> hi
[23:18] <unop> googleman, what will you achieve by splitting the file?
[23:18] <biston> googleman you seem to be a google fan, did you google your request?
[23:18] <comicinker> googleman: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/_attachment?target=Skripte%2FSplitten+und+Vereinigen%2FDateien_Splitten

[23:18] <ozzy> hiyall, anyone could point to a working flash-plugin for firefox for 64bit system on lucid lynx. No luck with synaptic suggestion.
[23:20] <SlidingHorn> ozzy: I've *heard* (dont know for myself) that 64-bit has issues with flash - but you could try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[23:20] <_Brun0_> suddenly I boot and Ubuntu 10.04 is showing in a strange scren resolution (1024x768). The correct should be 1280x1024 but that option isn't available. NVidia 6600GT w/ latest proprietary driver. Will I need to edit xorg configs?
[23:20] <mhall> _Brun0_: there is a /var/log/X*.log set of files
[23:20] <edoceo> Still problems with cron, this line is in /etc/crontab - should run at 15:30 correct?
[23:20] <mhall> _Brun0_: these contain the messages from launching the X server
[23:20] <ozzy> SlidingHorn: no they dont work. the cisco cbt's that Im trying to access dont behave/display right with that nonfree
[23:21] <comicinker> googleman: from http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Skripte/Splitten_und_Vereinigen (if you can read german)

[23:21] <makish> somebody who know why i get an ip that is 10.02.15 in my virtual ubuntu server via virtualbox?

[23:22] <mhall> !nat
[23:22] <Lint01> i've screwed my home dir by extracting tar archive without path in it, how to undo this?
[23:22] <comicinker> googleman and only for nautilus integration. english: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/_attachment?target=Skripte%2FSplitten+und+Vereinigen%2FFile_Split
[23:22] <edoceo> VirtualBox exposes the guest adapter via nat to the host network, and provdes a DHCP server for that NATed adapter
[23:22] <_Brun0_> mhall, http://pastebin.com/09gCvKeF <-- Xorg.0.log
[23:22] <eleljrk> mhall: How can I change the systemtype during / before the installation? (From ext4 to ______?)
[23:23] <mhall> eleljrk: good question... in my case i usually have used what they call the "alternate" install CD
[23:23] <_Brun0_> mhall, http://pastebin.com/09gCvKeF <-- Xorg.0.log  and http://pastebin.com/7223DS1g <-- Xorg.0.log.old
[23:23] <makish> edoceo, ok, how do i do then to get an ip as rest of my computers?
[23:23] <nerxgas> i want to rename an sd card device from sdb to mmcblk0 how do i do that ?
[23:23] <mhall> eleljrk: this one is text-only with an almost unchanged copy of the original Debian installer
[23:23] <mhall> eleljrk: using that you get a less usable but more configurable install
[23:23] <comicinker> googleman: for merging (english): http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/_attachment?target=Skripte%2FSplitten+und+Vereinigen%2FFile_Merge
[23:24] <mhall> eleljrk: then i have a partitioner in there where i can setup the disk exactly how i want
[23:24] <HotTuna> terrible transfer speeds with nfs / 100mbps lan and ubuntu 10.04 worked fine on 9.10 any ideas?
[23:24] <pat5star> Lint01: what do you mean? did you untar a ton of files into your home directory?
[23:24] <Lint01> yes
[23:24] <wildbat> eleljrk, choose manual when asked to choose disk to install on
[23:24] <eleljrk> mhall: Sounds advance :P
[23:24] <ozzy> this is just too fast for me
[23:25] <makish> never mind i got it..=P
[23:25] <ozzy> good luck how u put up with this scroll speed
[23:25] <mhall> eleljrk: yeah it's a bit of a pain to use compared to the shiny one, but some of my PCs are weird and didn't install right using the shiny one :)
[23:25] <pat5star> Lint01: depending upon the time stamp, you might be able to single them all out, try "ls -lAht | less" and see if they are all listed at the top
[23:25] <mhall> eleljrk: i'm thinking for the shiny one you could probably consult the install guides off the website
[23:25] <unop> googleman, how big do you want to want each split to be?
[23:26] <mhall> eleljrk: since my knowledge from the text based one won't really transfer over
[23:26] <roshanavand> I want to install fingerprint driver on ubuntu
[23:26] <eleljrk> mhall: Mhmm.. FactTech started to tell me this, but at that moment I lost my connection.
[23:27] <googleman> unop 10 files enough
[23:27] <eleljrk> mhall: Could it be another way? :/
[23:27] <mhall> eleljrk: about the alternate disc? or about how to try a different FS type
[23:28] <eleljrk> mhall: I didn't get that before it was to late.
[23:28] <edoceo> makish: static, or change mode from NAT to Bridge
[23:28] <mhall> eleljrk: damn. wish i knew what he told you to try. :D
[23:29] <makish> edoceo, yeah allready done that..=) thanks
[23:29] <eleljrk> mhall: Same! :P
[23:29] <roshanavand> how to install fingerprint driver on ubuntu?
[23:30] <edoceo> roshanavand: same as installing any other driver, pick the driver and install, done

[23:30] <roshanavand> edoceo: I have the driver package but I don't know how to install it
[23:30] <eleljrk> mhall: It's late, I'm tierd, My fingers hurts after all this iPod tapping.. Good night, nye.
[23:30] <edoceo> aptitude or dpkg
[23:30] <eleljrk> Nye*
[23:30] <roshanavand> edoceo: it's a tarbal package
[23:30] <eleljrk> Bye**
[23:31] <edoceo> Why won't cron run my jobs?

[23:31] <unop> edoceo, tried capturing the output of the command??
[23:31] <SlidingHorn> roshanavand: what's the filename, the path to the file, and what's it a driver for?
[23:31] <edoceo> Yep, doesn't even run them
[23:31] <edoceo> cronlog shows other jobs running, just not this one
[23:32] <unop> edoceo, 30 15 * * * root /usr/bin/php5 /opt/ari/cella/cella.php show > /tmp/my.log 2>&1
[23:32] <roshanavand> SlidingHorn: upek biometeric fingerprint driver
[23:32] <edoceo> unop: as I said, that doesn't work
[23:32] <edoceo> And there is not a record in cron that it even tries to *start* the job'
[23:32] <edoceo> For example, cron shows this in the log: syslog:Jun 15 15:17:01 vh0 CRON[5132]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)
[23:33] <unop> edoceo, and the command runs fine from the command line?
[23:33] <edoceo> But doesn't show any of the jobs I"ve added to /etc/crontab - they never run (using strace on the cron daemon shows it never tries)
[23:33] <edoceo> unop: yes it does
[23:33] <rcarcamo> i just installed Ubuntu 10.04 ... and restarted as soon finished the installation process .. i got a black screen with grub> line
[23:34] <roshanavand> SlidingHorn: what then?
[23:34] <edoceo> Seems that the cron with ubuntu is a piece of shit, have had this issue before - to bad the package manager complains when I try to replace it with something functionaly, say fcron
[23:34] <SlidingHorn> roshanavand: patience, man...I'm looking into it
[23:34] <unop> edoceo, language ...
[23:34] <edoceo> english preferred, german second
[23:34] <unop> !language | edoceo
[23:34] <roshanavand> SlidingHorn: I can give you a link to the driver , will it help you?
[23:34] <rcarcamo> lol
[23:35]  * edoceo throws ubunut back into the wastebin where it belongs
[23:35] <SlidingHorn> roshanavand: did you download the sdk or the protection suite?
[23:35] <jpds> edoceo: Sure, your choice.
[23:35] <DarkDigitalDream> I'm trying to do a usb install on to my laptop, but the ubuntu iso doesn't have my laptops wireless drivers (bcm). I'm unable to plug my laptop in to download them after an install. How do I put the needed drivers onto the usb before installing?
[23:35] <roshanavand> SlidingHorn: no!
[23:36] <roshanavand> SlidingHorn: commands please ...

[23:37] <jpds> edoceo: Did you try $ crontab -e -u root ?
