OerTempus_Fugit, re-install gnome keyring, you need it to store wireless keys and more.00:00
qwiksilver711I am currently running a dual boot with win7 and ubuntu 10.4 on a 500g hard drive, and I have a 1TB hd i want to move ubuntu to. is it possible to remove ubuntu from this hd without doing a complete reformat of the windows partition? would it hurt anything if i just used a partition program to expand the windows partition to the full drive?\00:00
Tempus_FugitOer: which package ...seahorse???00:00
DCat--qwiksilver711, it shouldnt00:00
DCat--backup just incase tho :)00:01
jamesanelayHi, how would one completely remove sendmail from their system?00:01
Tempus_FugitOer: or just apt-get install gnome-keyring??00:01
rezzy63% installed00:01
qwiksilver711in theory couldn't i use something to image the windows partition, and then put that on the 1tb hd as a backup, and if something went wrong when i expanded the windows partition i should be able to just throw that image on the 500g hd right?00:02
OerTempus_Fugit, i'm not sure,  i think, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring00:02
jamesanelayHi, how would one completely remove sendmail from their system?00:03
DCat--qwiksilver711, thats the long way00:03
Tempus_Fugitok this might help how do I create a root acct in Lucid ...chroot?00:03
qwiksilver711DCat-- whats the short way?00:03
Chr1831How come putting @hourly /path/to/python/app.py in my local crontab (via contab -e) isn't being executed?00:03
DCat--qwiksilver711, but you could if you wanted.. just .img the win7 partition and keep it aside BEFORE you do anything that can cause uh-ohs...00:03
edbianTempus_Fugit, There already is a root account.  To access it ubuntu uses sudo00:03
bastid_raZorTempus_Fugit: you add a user to the admin group if you need root privledges00:03
OerTempus_Fugit, leaving keyring without pass solves the keyring-question-issue00:04
ThePCKidHe means something in the means of "su root" I think...00:04
rezzyeMyller: still there?00:04
bastid_raZorThePCKid: that is a bad idea and unsupported in this channel00:04
eMyllerrezzy: yes00:04
god__how can i use my speaker output as a mic00:04
someguyi installed the repo and the key for google but i only still have the googleearth-package package in my repos00:04
rezzygood good dont want to loose u, not long now nearly installed :D00:04
qwiksilver711any reccomendations on programs to use to image the windows partition?00:04
edbianquit00:04
bastid_raZorThePCKid: for a root session in bash use 'sudo -i'00:04
SmokeyBaconI have a TV surround sound system with the two sterio RCA plugs, is there a way to get surround sound from the computer to play through this?00:04
god__so people can hear what i hear00:05
Tempus_Fugitedbian: but in term if I type in "su" it asks for a pw that I dont know?00:05
god__no mic00:05
jamesanelayI'm fairly sure ive removed the bulk of sendmail, but it still attempts to start on boot and I get an error saying Not Configured Not started, anybody know how I can fix this?00:05
eMyllersomeguy: did you apt-get update'd?00:05
gnoobTempus_Fugit  type sudo su and the password you know ;)00:05
Tempus_FugitReading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done ubuntu-keyring is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded00:05

someguyyes eMyller00:05
Sylphidqwiksilver711, though i have not tried it i have heard ping is not ghost (ping) is good00:05

MaddTechWFCan anyone help me with my Samba problem?00:06
DCat--!ask MaddTechWF00:06
eMyllersomeguy: weird. do you have medibuntu added as well?00:06
gnoobthen when root write "passwd"  and set the new root password...  :)  next time "su" will work fine..  (but be careful using root!!!!!)00:06
PirolocitoMaddTechWF, maybe00:06
someguyno eMyller00:06
someguyi dont have medibuntu00:06
eMyllersomeguy: i just checked it, googleearth comes from medibuntu here.00:07
ThePCKidgnoob, it's "passwd root"00:07
eMyllermaybe it changed or i just mixed it up.00:07
someguyheh ok00:07
MaddTechWFI installed Samba and configured it to the specs of a video I watched.  When I go to my Windows XP machine, I can see the share folder but not its contents.  My PS3 won't even see it either.00:07
abbronzatohello i need to reinstall from zero a win xp partition, on a ubuntu hd, any tips for recovery grub easily after that? thanks in advance00:08
gnoobthe default root password?? hmm have no idea.. ubuntu let root be disabled by default for security reasons.  But can be enabled by sudo su and write passwd to set new root password...   (correct me if Im wrong anybody)00:08

rezzy95 %00:09
Dr_Willisgnoob:  ammoung other ways.. but its niot  reccomended00:09
slidinghorn!root00:10
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo00:10
eMyllerabbronzato: it's very easily found on google; there's a wiki page about that with a high rank. i don't remember its url now.00:10
Zelozelosoh that one is awsome, kinda like "there is no spoon neo" rofl00:10
Guest50063is there a front end to growisofs that will allow me to burn multiple dvds simultaneously?00:10
MaddTechWFDCat--, Pirolocito :  I installed Samba and configured it to the specs of a video I watched.  When I go to my Windows XP machine, I can see the share folder but not its contents.  My PS3 won't even see it either.00:10
ThePCKid@gnoob00:10
ThePCKidBy default, the root password is scrambled and locked (I think)00:10
ThePCKidTry "passwd root" to change the password to a known value. Then try "su root" and type in root's pass00:10
DCat--Zelozelos, exactly. :)00:10
abbronzatoeMyller, yes the prob is that all is related to the old grub00:10

Tempus_Fugitso pretty much any root privledges I need can be handled using "sudo"00:11
Dr_WillisGuest50063:  once you ahve the iso made. you could do the actuall burning to seeral drives at once. depending on the speeds of the disks00:11

TheSkewardHi.  I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 under the XFCE desktop environment, attempting to use Altec BX1220 speakers, and when I plug them in, they light up and give feedback, but no sound comes from them.  Can someone help me?00:12
Tempus_Fugitatm I need to figure out to get my gnome login screen working00:12
Dr_Willishow did you break it Tempus_Fugit ?00:12
ThePCKid@TheSkeward:00:12
ThePCKidIs there an icon that looks like a speaker?00:12
Tempus_Fugitgood question00:12
Guest50063Dr_Willis: so created the ISO files and then burn them using growisofs?00:12
Guest50063sounds like a good idea00:12
eMyllerabbronzato: i found one about 2.0 once00:13
TheSkewardThePCKid: up in the top right?  yeah.  it says "Output: 100% | 0.00 dB | Internal Audio Analog Stereo" when I mouse over it00:13
Dr_WillisGuest50063:  or other burner tools.00:13
someguyi ran the medibuntu command as shown on the ubuntu help documentation but for me i get the error that signatures couldnt be verified because the public key is not available00:13

someguyi thought the command automatically fetched the key00:13
ThePCKid@TheSweward:00:13
ThePCKidIs there an option that lets you change the dB?00:13
Guest50063Dr_Willis: k3b and gnomebaker won't burn to more than one drive at a time which is ridiculous.00:14
eMyllerabbronzato: google 'grub 2 recover'00:14
Tempus_FugitDr_Willis: All I know is I was trying to disable the wireless keyring and rm'ed the wrong keyring now it dont work no more I kinda doubt its an isolated incident but I could be wrong00:14

Bridge|1. In a command window, type dmesg and see if you can see any messages relating to the specific hardware.00:36
Bridge|2. Alternatively and also in a command window, type tail -f /var/log/syslog. Then, insert the hardware, like the wireless card and see what messages come up. This should give you an indication of whether the hardware is being detected or not.00:36

Jordan_Uross_: You're welcome.01:32
rezzypradeep: now its saying cant find package wvdial :/01:33
codebrainzdeexannihilate, you want the files from your ISO copied onto a USB hard/flash drive? or you want to burn an ISO image on a USB CD writer?01:33
pradeeprezzy, then sudo apt-get update01:34
deexannihilatecodebrainz: I want the files from my ISO copied onto a USB01:34
mdgeorge1hello01:34
pradeepthen run the initial command01:34
mdgeorge1I was wondering if anyone could help me configure X properly to use my tablet01:34
thune3infinitux: you should have all your physical memory available. livecd will also use any swap partition it finds on fixed disks. If all the physical memory is really available, the only solution is to kill memory hogging applications before you run out of memory.01:34
rezzypradeep: done that what now?01:34
pradeepdeexannihilate, use unetbootin01:34
mdgeorge1it seems to be detecting it when I plug it in, but it's not working01:35
codebrainzdeexannihilate, what kind of ISO?  is it bootable?  does the USB drive need to be bootable?01:35
pradeeprezzy, sudo apt-get install wvdial01:35
mdgeorge1and the input subsystems seem to have changed a lot recently, so I don't know what howto's to trust01:35
Guest28494Enmand I'm not connected and its a command line based gui01:35
mdgeorge1it works when I reboot, but not when I hotplug01:36
hiexpocodebrainz,  it will make it bootable01:36
deexannihilatecodebrainz: Yes, the USB needs to be bootable. It's or Super grub. I don't have a CD/DVD drive on my netbook and need it to fix my other computer01:36
codebrainzdeexannihilate, then what pradeep said01:36
marco___exit01:36
rezzypradeep: done that01:36
deexannihilatecodebrainz: thanks01:36

lorcan I remove empathy?01:39
otocusrezzy, i dont, but if you only want to boot... there are a lot of boot disk mini isos on net01:39
thune3martian: for xargs you should probably use the "-1" option to ls as well.01:39
otocusah... the.. one... is... bartpe01:39

rezzywhere do i find that information01:42
martianGuest28494: are you really asking me if I'm being serious in regards to a server being on a wireless network or are you asking rhetorical questions?01:42

Vigo_Guest28494: Yes, did you try a Netisnatall?01:43
pradeepcos every dongle has a work around01:43
daddysmurfwhat's the advantage of using a 32-bit system over a 64-bit system?01:43
Guest28494Martian, I am asking are you serious, why wouldn't they think about that? Or even letting you install everything onto a dvd so you don't have this01:43
martianjosedose: paste the contents of yours to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link it here01:43

Vigo_Guest28494: Here is the page...a page> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations01:44
kassahdaddysmurf, for me? support for 8GB of ram without using tricks01:44
martianGuest28494: because as I initially asserted, I doubt it happens very often. I've never heard of anyone running a server wirelessly. I would suspect that most people jam their server in the same corner as their router.01:45
pradeeprezzy, when you connect it on ubuntu click ont the network manager you should see it there01:45
daddysmurfkassah: that's the driving reason for me to use 64-bit ubuntu... but the site suggests 32-bit01:45
codebrainzdaddysmurf, no advantage really, unless you have some weird software that doesn't support 64-bit01:45
deexannihilateCan someone walk me through using Super Grub to fix my booting01:45
daddysmurfcodebrainz: ty, 64 it is01:45
hiexpodaddysmurf,  use 32 bit it's better01:45
daddysmurfhiexpo: why?01:45
kassahdaddysmurf, software compatability (especially proprietary programs such as flash) is slightly better on 32bit01:45
jakexksapart from proprietary programs, there's no reason to use 32 bit01:46
Guest28494Martian, some people merely can't due to circumstances and I don't think it'd be so hard of them to add wireless-tools01:46
rezzypradeep: ove got network connections and network proxy, i have no idea where network manager is01:46
martianGuest28494: What is it preventing you from connecting to a wireless network on the server anyway?01:46
nebbinCan someone give me some advise about installing Ubuntu from a flash drive?01:46
kassahdaddysmurf, I imagine flash is 99% of the reason for that recommendation.01:46
hiexpodaddysmurf,  because 64 bit becomes boggy and hangs01:46
daddysmurfI'm planning to run a vm with windows to over-come the 64-bit software limitations, as well as the no-photoshop-on-linux concept01:46
jakexksIf you need flash, you're doing it wrong anyhow ;)01:47
daddysmurfI think I should be fine01:47
kassahcodebrainz, it's not exactly a common printer except amoung places like pharmacies and shipping docks01:47

mdgeorge1edbian: there's no ubuntu_version01:50
kassahcodebrainz, I suspect there is a module attached to it even though it's not fully installed preventing VirtualBox from being able to make use of it. so a way to look determine which modules were using a usb device would also work01:50
Jordan_Udeexannihilate: Do you have a Linux machine that you can use to make the bootable flash drive? Is it OK if the current contents of the flash drive are wiped?01:50

the_filebad_command: try running puppy linux with gparted, delete ALL the partitions01:51
Jordan_Udeexannihilate: Ok, then you need to use a utility called "dd" to put the SG2D image onto the flash drive.01:51
kassahcodebrainz, if it's supported in linux... I can just share it to the windows box... if it's pass-thru-able... that works even better01:52

YankDownUnderrealubot, Each progressive version of gdm is progressively less secure than the previous version. Eventually, there will be no security at all. (That's a joke, mate)03:09

DK__2YankDownUnder: its really odd, ive tried a few things like killing compiz or starting a different kernel, no luck though03:12

Izinucsrallias: you using ubuntu or kubuntu? and which version? 10.04?04:45
ubotturallias: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.04:45
RobertSaganek_hello all i need some help with my firefox04:45
brotardwhats the problem robert04:46
theadminRobertSaganek_: With what exactly?04:46
ralliasIzimucs: I am using ubuntu, 10.04 with software sources of 10.1004:46
theadminrallias: ...that's a generally bad idea04:47
RobertSaganek_my adobe flash keeps dying04:47
theadminRobertSaganek_: Um, how exactly?04:47
ralliastheadmin: i know but i feel i am enough of a geek that i thought it was necessary for me04:47
ralliasand didn't have a spare cd04:47
Izinucsrallias: Evolution will connect via imap to google..04:47
RobertSaganek_adobe flash plug in... when i'm on any site and try to go full screen it dies04:47
Izinucsrallias: you can also load up thunderbird or kmail04:48
theadminrallias: You could have ran "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" to get updated to Maverick from Lucid04:48
ralliasIzimucs: I want to be able to load it on a local machine and load it through a local network and download stuff04:48
ralliastheadmin: i tried to find that out, and now i suppose i probibilly know04:49
Izinucsrallias: you mean have one machine connect to the imap server and then use other machines in the LAN to pull the same data?04:49
ralliasizinucs: yes04:49
ralliasizinucs: i only have 10 gb of data transfer left04:49
Izinucsrallias: that's one of the beauties of imap.. you don't need a central location to pull data.. you can set each machine to connect to the same imap server without interfearing with each other.04:50
Izinucsrallias: ah..04:50
ralliasizinucs: between porn and linux, i use up my 250 gb a month pretty easily04:51
Izinucsrallias: perhaps what you want is to actually pop the server instead of imap (with one machine) then get access to the same data from other machines...04:51
ralliasizinucs: i know what i want to do i want as many of the necessary network services to be localnet as possible04:52
AntonioXHola04:52
Izinucsrallias: ok.. sorry I don't have a solution for you.. maybe someone else will.04:52
theadminAntonioX: English please. Espanol - #ubuntu-es04:52
AntonioXis this the place where I can get some help?04:53
ralliasIzinucs: what is the standard imap server for ubuntu?04:53
theadminAntonioX: If it's related with Ubuntu, then yes.04:53
AntonioXYES!!!04:53
AntonioXI am in the right place04:53
AntonioXWell, I have a little problem04:54
Topy44hm... turns out there ARE replacements for the window-picker-applet - unfortunately, they are also for the gnome panel :(04:54
abhi_nav!ask | AntonioX04:54
ubottuAntonioX: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)04:54
theadminAntonioX: Please ask everything in one message - it gets messed up otherwise04:54
ralliasdoes anyone know a good guide to the commands that are in the IMAP standard?04:55
AntonioXI have an USB CD/DVD Burner that when I conect to my machine Ubuntu detects it and everything looks fine04:55
theadminAntonioX: Well and?04:55
AntonioXbut When I insert a blank CD it disapears04:55
theadminAntonioX: That's about right04:55
AntonioXRight?04:56
AntonioXhow?04:56
=== mac-mini1 is now known as Guest96204
theadminAntonioX: Run "CD/DVD Burner" from Applications -> Sound and Video ("Multimedia" as translated in some languages, e.g. russian) and use that to burn the disc04:56
AntonioXI do not have it as an option in Brasero04:56

AntonioXBrasero only wants to do cd images04:58
theadminAntonioX: Oh... Then this is actually weird04:58
AntonioXYep Nero gives me Other Weird messages04:59
theadminAntonioX: Normally it dissapears because it doesn't recognize the filesystem on the disc - for there is none - so it can't mount it... Nero? Isn't that for Windows?04:59
AntonioXyes  but there are 2 versions for linux05:00

Clintegerlike whats the package name :p05:04
realubotIs it possible to use kdm to log in to Gnome session? I'm planning to set up a multiseat but the the new gdm doesn't seem to support multisessions but kdm does. The problem is that I don't want to use KDE as desktop environment. I qant the default Gnom desktop.05:08
Clintegerrealubot, yeah there should be a dropdown menu somewhere on there05:08
ClintegerI originally installed kubuntu and then ubuntu-desktop for gnome, and I was able to get into gnome :)05:08
ralliaswhats the default password for user cyrus for the cyrus server?05:09
theadminrealubot: Yes, KDM can log in to GNOME, KDE and (with a bit of bugs) XFCE05:10
hjstI have a problem formatting a USB flash drive - when I plug the drive in it shows under "My Computer" (or whatever it's called in gnome), and I can see the device in Disk Utility but it shows as having no volumes. When I try to format the device (with any partition scheme) I get the same error message: "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdb: No medium found" - I've tried on a windows machine as well with no success05:10
hjst - is the USB flash drive dead?05:10
theadmin(it displays the "Xfce4" menu option twice)05:10
realubotClinteger: Ok, nice to know. Thanks.05:11
isolat3dsh33ptesting05:11
realubottheadmin: Will there be any problem (due to bugs ir something) to use KDM as login window for Gnome?05:12
Topy44btw, any ideas why slim wont work on my netbook? i tried it on a vm and it works perfectly. but my netbook just hangs at "Starting X display manager: slim"05:12
theadminrealubot: Nope, worked before and it worked very well05:12
realubottheadmin: Will it somehow affect the "stability" of Gnome?05:12
theadminrealubot: Nah.05:12
ralliaswhats the command line command that changes a users password?05:13
Topy44realubot: afaik, you cant shut down the computer from gnome directly anymore, you have to log out and choose shutdown from kdm. at least it used to be that way.05:13
hjstrallias: passwd05:13
theadminrallias: sudo passwd USERNAME05:13
KB1JWQrallias: passwd05:13
realubottheadmin: Ok, this is very good news because I plan to use kdm to start multisession X on my multiseat configuration. It won't work using the new gdm, I think.05:13
ralliasthanks05:13
theadminTopy44: Huh. Well, it worked fine on Jaunty05:13
Topy44oh ok.. i havent used it that way in many years05:13
theadminrealubot: It wouldn't work with old GDM either... gdm never supported multisessions :/05:14
realubottheadmin: Ok, but if that is the only problem then I can learn to live with that.05:14
Topy44ah, indeed, it was implemented in 2007 :) i am somewhat out of date05:14
Topy44realubot: ignore what i said :)05:15
realubottheadmin: Ok, but I have found som patches for getting it to work using gdm 2.20.05:15
Fudgewhat does this mean, [drm:radeon_ib_schedule] *ERROR* radeon: couldn't schedule IB(14).05:15
realubottheadmin: Originally I planned to use XDMCP but there seem to be some security issues due to using that Display Manger.05:15
Topy44another problem: when booting my netbook, it hangs for a long time (about a minute) at "getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)"05:15
Topy44i have no idea what that means05:16
realubotTopy44: Ok, I will. :)05:16
Topy44and internet searches were... inconclusive.05:16
theadminrealubot: I'm unsure what is the GDM version Ubuntu uses actually, and applying patches means recompiling from source05:16
thune3kassah: i think you need to put a rule at the top of the file that matches your device, and have the action be to goto a label at the end of the file. Beginning something like: SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="041e", ATTR{idProduct}=="4130",GOTO="end_printer_config"  and then have line at the end: LABEL="end_printer_config"05:16
theadminTopy44: It means that it can't get "pwuid_r" whatever that is for user "root"05:16

kassahthune3, thanks... will give that a try... brb05:17
realubottheadmin: Ok, well, I will stick to kdm. That was what the multiseat tutorial suggested: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX05:17
* Clinteger is removing all of kubuntu-desktop05:18
realubotWhat are the big difference between kdm and gdm really?05:18
Topy44http://duanguangjie.com/phpman/index.php/man/pwuid/0 <== aha! now i know... nothing. :)05:18
theadminrealubot: ...everything05:18
realubottheadmin: Ok, it looks almost the same to me. :)05:18
AntonioXCould you please explain...05:18
Topy44realubot: its really just that: gdm uses a basic gnome for the login screen, kdm a basic kde05:18
nicxvanhow do I set key bindings for alternate buttons on my mouse?05:18
realubotI mean, you can choose user and login to your account. :S05:18
AntonioXZAP? Root (admin)?05:18
AntonioXwhat is ZAP?05:19
theadminTopy44: Okay... I guess it's claiming it can't find the password entry for root... Run this: "sudo usermod -p '!' root"05:19
AntonioXSorry I am new with Ubuntu05:19
nicxvannevermind i think i found it05:19
Topy44theadmin: indeed i didnt set a root pw05:19
airtonixis it possible to have "Thunderbird Shredder" access a "Standard Unix mbox spool" mail account such as the one each user has in their home folder ?05:19
theadminAntonioX: Zapping is killing X and restarting it. Can be done by hitting Alt+PrtSc+K or (in some desktops) Ctrl+Alt+Backspace05:20
realubotWell, thanks guys (and girls). This is exciting. I hope that I get this multisession working.05:20
realubotBy the way, why isn't Gnome having the multisession option? Is there any special reason to avoid it or hasn't the gdm been developed that much yet?05:21
theadminAntonioX: root user is the superuser, the admin, whatever - it's allowed to do everything. However under no circumstances should you log in as root directly, use "sudo COMMAND" to run commands as admin (Or "gksu COMMAND" to run graphical applications as admin)05:22
Topy44theadmin: interesting... i still get the error, but it no longer hangs - in fact, it just accelerated boot time by about 60 seconds, which is amazing :)05:22
AntonioXOk let me see it I get it, I do ZAP, and I do not run Nero as a root....  Right?05:22
Topy44(though i just installed a different kernel, MIGHT be related to that too)05:22
theadminTopy44: Weird.05:22
SuspectZerohey quick question, im using testdisk and i was wondering if there is a way to figure out the size of a folder that im trying to recover?05:22
realubotDo I have to removw gdm before I install kdm to get my system use kdm instead of gdm?05:22
realubot*purge gdm05:22

=== WakkaWakka_ is now known as WakkaWakka

You use paprefs to enable networking functionality in the machine with speakers, copy ~/.pulse-cookie from the remote machine to the local one, edit client.conf in the local machine and set the server-name to the remote machine05:37
MokoN00bthere are several pidgin packages, but "pidgin-plugin-pack" is not one of them05:37

theadminMokoN00b: It appears in the notification area now when you have multiple layouts05:41
realubottheadmin: Ok, but I have 500GB of disc space, will gdm really need several GB?05:41
violinapprenVanessaE: you'll have the local machine (say a laptop) forwarding all it's audio to the remote machine (with intended speakers) merged with its own audio05:41
MokoN00bbut it doesnt seem to have alternate layouts for, say, spanish05:41
MokoN00bi was expecting that05:41

rokyBryanWB_: rdesktop06:26
vbox@bryan: rdesktop06:26

boumaantonio2: hmm Antonix left? darn, i had a solution i tihnk for his prob, mount cd as wav files using cdfs or cdemu06:28
ultrazEvilTrek: /etc/ssh06:28
boumaDoes anyone have any suggestions re sudo mplayer on rightclick in nautilus ??06:28
ultrazjhaluska: can you pastebin lspci -k06:28
_genuser_bouma: trying to get nautilus to remember to play using mplayer?06:28
jhaluskaultraz, unlikely since I'm on a seperate computer and I can't get online with the other one, but let me go run it.06:29
wageCan someone please tell me the path to the ubuntu one client, my icon is missing?06:29
bouma_genuser_: i can do that, its doing it niced to -2006:29
violinapprenbouma: you can make a shell script in ~/bin that launches mplayer and renices it06:29
ultrazjhaluska: doble check if kernel module/driver is loaded for your network card.06:29
boumaviolinappren: what flags would i put on the script ? 7455 ?06:29
violinapprenbouma: flags ? do you mean permissions? just chmod +x it06:30
_genuser_bouma: wait you can force nautilus to launch a media player that's not totem?06:30
abhi_navwage, you may get better help in #ubuntuone06:30
boumaviolinappren: and what do i used to transfer the argument external to the script (the fn) into the 1st arg of mplayer inside the script (sorry dont know much bash)06:30
wageabhi_nav:  thanks06:30
vboxjoin #ubuntuone06:31
abhi_navwage, :)06:31
ultraz_genuser_: mine is set to launch mplayer when opening media/video files.06:31
abhi_navvbox, type /j #ubuntuone06:31
_genuser_ultraz: and how did you actually accomplish that?06:31
boumaviolinappren: but when the sudo requires me to type the password it wont receive the pw and will hang/timeout06:31
boumaviolinappren: silent timeout06:31
violinapprenbouma: then use gksu06:31
jhaluskaultraz: It mentions the nvidia MCP61 ethernet and seems to load forcedeth06:31
ultraz_genuser_: right click on video file, and go to open with tab.06:32
ultraz_genuser_: put there which app you want to open those type of files.06:32
boumaviolinappren: hrm, ok. i accept this is more secure, but can i do it in a reasonably secure but automatic way that doesnt require the root pw every right click on a movie ??06:32
boumaviolinappren: likea suid script that cant be edited by userac?06:32
_genuser_bouma: in the script $1 refers to the first argument passed to script. You can pass that to mplayer.06:33
boumaviolinappren: well i guess i'll google suid scripts then. thanks06:33
ultrazjhaluska: what is forcedeth?06:33
bouma_genuser_: cheers06:33
Blue1ultraz: die now dammit i mean it kill -906:33
_genuser_ultraz: that never works on any of hte gnome installation I have used. Right click video file, select mplayer or say use custom command, check box so it will remember it. and next double click file, it launches with totem again.06:33
jhaluskaultraz: It mentions it under that ethernet line about kernel module and driveer.06:34
jhaluskaI'm really wishing the other computer was closer. lol06:34
violinapprenbouma: i don't think suid can help you since it will run everything as root, including mplayer06:34
|jonathan|help me06:34
_genuser_jhaluska: if you have wifi adapter usb one, just plug it in, then ssh to it.06:34
ultraz_genuser_: I have successfuly used that method to launch vlc for long time, and in the past few months with mplayer.06:34
jhaluska_genuser_: I might have one floating around, let me check.06:35
_genuser_ultraz: that's weird. I have never gotten it to work. I have ended up doing ln -sf to link mplayer under totem name to fool it06:35
boumaviolinappren: hrm, thats a shame, but .. darn. have there ever been bufferoverruns exploited in mplayer w/root06:35
violinapprenbouma: you could use pkexec instead of gksu and thus the password will be cached for a while06:35

boumaviolinappren: in policykit-106:36

_genuser_BryanWB_: xp is pretty cool also. keep in mind to follow same security rules as linux. create user with user only permission for daily use06:37
BryanWB__genuser_, yeah, i will definitely lock down her user acct06:37
boumaVanessaE: VanessaE, does the pause have to transfer out of the 1st script so as not to be running as root, and so run nice aswell as mplayer as root?06:37
rokyBryanWB_: If you do a bit of configuring so everything is working, ex: flash, java...etc. Ubuntu would be just as good of a choice. As long as they don't have admin rights to mess with the FS.06:37
rollmani will soon have an e-book reader and was wondering if there is software compatible with ubuntu i don't have the reader yet it's on order?06:37
Loshki|jonathan|: I dunno much about usb modems. Does wvdial have a verbose mode where you can see it issue comnands to the modem?06:38
_genuser_teach them the sudo equivalent for when installing stuff. Right-click, run as admin and then create them a separate user with admin priv. XP will be better in that. Vista has issues where exes can install themselves in user's appdata folder on c:\ drive and run.06:38
VanessaEbouma, I was thinking you could try to put it all in one script, use su within to drop root privileges just long enough to launch mplayer06:38
|jonathan|Loshki what is verbose mode?06:38
YankDownUnderwvdial, when run from a term, will show what's being sent to the modem06:38
VanessaEbeen a while since I did that06:38
BryanWB__genuser_, but she is 68 and _struggling_ to learn XP06:38
ultrazUSB modems are pain in the ars.06:38

|jonathan|Loshki i dont know wheter it is supported or not06:40
|jonathan|becoz the modem is not responding06:40
VanessaEbouma, so the script might contain something to the effect of:  #!/bin/bash ; su username -c mplayer & pid=$!; sleep 1; renice 19 $pid06:41
VanessaEand you'd run that as root (or use gksu[do])06:41
jhaluskaThe PCI network card fixed the internet for now (so at least now he won't kill me)06:41
YankDownUnderwhat kinda modem is the USB modem - is it a 3g modem?06:41
Slix`When I boot Ubuntu from my USB drive, it doesn't work. It either stays at the loading screen for an extremely long time or goes to some weird console screen and doesn't let me input anything.06:41

Loshkiits-me-again: you can edit it, but the changes will get overwritten whenever there is a kernel change. If you can put up with that inconvenience, it's fine to edit grub.cfg.

thune3|jonathan|: is the device getting mapped to a tty, that's all I want to know. Did the os detect it as a modem and map it. [you might be able to tell by looking at dmesg output yourself]08:08
|jonathan|YankDownUnder so what we have to do is how to detect the modem in ubuntu08:08
|jonathan|thune3 yeah tty and ttyS008:09
YankDownUnder|jonathan|, Did you follow the steps that I already gave you, or are you going to make me type them again?08:10

|jonathan|YankDownUnder which one should i download08:16
YankDownUnderYou're obviously going to have to install one that is ubuntu/Debian...08:17

YankDownUnderhorkhorkhork, Convert it to an OGG and see if it does the same thing.08:30
thune3horkhorkhork: for some reason i suspect it is a graphics issue somehow related to the "goom" visual effects in totem that runs.08:30

YankDownUnderhorkhorkhork, Shouldn't - however, if it's got graphics attached to it, possibly.08:33

Vin73thune3: do you mean the lower left corner of synaptec?08:41
Jordan_Ucherva: One likely needs a crossover cable while the other can switch automatically.08:41

YankDownUnder|jonathan|, There are several reasons why it might NOT be detected - bad design of the hardware is one...09:17
SwedeMikemike-from-canmor: that sounds like a hard freeze, most likely there will be no logs (if the caps lock key doesn't flip the caps lock indicator for instance). You might be helped by upgrade to a later ubuntu (10.04) where the kernel doesn't have your problem, but it might also be a hw problem.09:18

mike-from-canmorit has occured in all versions of ubuntu I have used09:20
mike-from-canmorI'm pretty sure I'm using 10.0409:20
mike-from-canmornever mind I'm using 10.0409:21
mike-from-canmorsorry09:21
Jordan_Umike-from-canmor: If magic sysrq doesn't work the next time this happens, then whatever else may be happening there is a serious kernel bug.09:21
mike-from-canmorHow can I find the problem?09:21
SwedeMikeClinteger: you might be missing something from your environment variables, try outputting stderr etc to a file and run it from cron and see what comes out at that file... like add "> /tmp/cronout.txt 2>&1" to the cron line and then take a look at that file09:21
mike-from-canmorit happens to me relatively often09:21
mike-from-canmorIt just occured to so I have log files09:21
Clintegerhm okay, thanks :D09:21
Jordan_Umike-from-canmor: So if sysrq magic fails next time run "ubuntu-bug linux" to submit a bug report. Submitting a bug report is a way to get support from the developers of the software itself :)09:22
mike-from-canmorYeah but don'09:22
mike-from-canmoryeah but don't they need a log file of some sort?09:22
Clintegernow I wait.09:22
sburjanhello. where can I find my history file ?09:22
Gryllidasburjan, history of what?09:22
sburjanhistory from the terminal.. sorry09:23
Jordan_Umike-from-canmor: If ubuntu-bug linux doesn't give them the info they need, then they will likely tell you procedures that will.09:23
egtuxGryllida, ??09:23
sburjanhistory lists a lot .. but whan I am searching for .. is too old to be shown09:23
ClintegerSwedeMike, okay the output file was empty..but it still didn't work :|09:23
Jordan_Usburjan: ~/.bash_history09:23
Gryllidasburjan, ~/.bash_history .. oops I'm slow at typing09:23
mike-from-canmorcould I run it right now09:23

p-dawgHey guys, I have an ntfs volume I mounted with umask=027,gid=100. Permissions are "drwxr-x---" for directories and "-rwxr-x---" for files.09:24
p-dawgI can edit existing files and write the changes but I can't create or delete anything as root.09:24
its-me-againanyone have a generic ubuntu entry for grub 40_custom file please09:24
SwedeMikeClinteger: if the file is still empty, then it might be that it can't find the perl executable due to PATH being wrong. Try adding the full path to perl when starting it.09:25
Clintegeryeah, im currently using the full path09:25

qwiksilver711if i have a dual boot on a 500g hd, with 100g dedicated to ubuntu, and want to remove ubuntu, so i can give the machine to someone else, is there a way to do it without messing up windows? like can i use a partition manager in windows and just expand the partition, and it will boot fine?09:26
p-dawgqwiksilver711 - I think partition magic could work, but it's not free afaik09:26
erUSULqwiksilver711: you will have to restore windows mbr.09:26
p-dawgAnd that too, about the mbr09:27
qwiksilver711how would i restore the boot record?09:27
p-dawgYou can use windows repair console09:27
dsearleqwiksilver711, You can use the gparted livecd to modify the partitions. (free and oss)09:27
p-dawgcommand fixmbr if I recall correctly09:27
mike-from-canmorCan someone tell me what exactly I should do to fix my problem or report my problem?09:27
qwiksilver711would i need the windows disc for that?09:27
zusafter WINEPREFIX=~/ the installer  opens then crashes a difficiency in wine.09:27
e01__hello09:28
p-dawgqwiksilver711: if you use gparted, you will need to download it and burn it to a CD, then boot from that09:28
zuscan some one  explain how to get this working?09:28
biomekanikaqwiksilver711: why not keep the partition and spread the ubuntu love. :)09:28
p-dawgfor the windows recovery console you do need the XP CD09:28
e01__how can i connect internet over bluetooth of my gsm09:28

qwiksilver711its win 7 p-dawg09:28
e01__but something wrong and i can`t connect09:28
p-dawgqwiksilver711: okay, then you'll need the windows 7 cd :D.09:29
Jordan_Umike-from-canmor: Let it happen again, try sysrq magic to reboot. If sysrq magic fails then you'll know there's been a kernel panic and you can report the bug via "ubuntu-bug linux"09:29
e01__i am with ubuntu netbook edition 10.409:29
qwiksilver711and biomekanika, my wife can hardly handle windows... ubuntu would give her a stroke09:29
trijntjeDeist, you might want to remove that file, if its in your home dir and you dont need it09:29
qwiksilver711ok p-dawg, so use the cd, and the repair console, command fixmbr... partition magic has a fix mbr command, would that work?09:29
tophyrtop shows me as having 2441mb ram used, but the processes it lists only account for 509mb. how can i find what's eating up the other 1.9gb of ram?09:29

Archive555Wondering what filesystem to use, thanks in advance09:35
mikeoserUSUL: for grub the following is installaed: grub-common, grub-pc, grub209:35

ubottuArchive555, please see my private message09:42
mikeoserUSUL: oops.. should have been in the kernel package09:42
erUSULbullgard4: sed can use any delimiter char. the most common one is / but you can use # if you want09:42
erUSULmikeos: really dunno sorry09:42
Jordan_Ubullgard4: It serves the same purpose as '/' normally would, except since you're not using '/' you don't have to escape paths in the pattern. Any character can be used as a delimiter.09:42
Archive555It's for file storage on both Ubuntu and 709:42

erUSULzoran119: sudo update-grub09:43
icerootArchive555: like ubuntu09:43
Archive555Iceroot: thanks, the main reason was that somewhere I read that linux couldn't read/write to it.09:44

mikeoserUSUL:  interesting finding:  i tried "rgrep -i update-grub ./" under /var/lib/dpkg/info  on a different machine where auto update works, and just memtest86+ and grub is matched09:46
nillhi09:46
mikeoserUSUL: that would mean that kernels do not call the update-grub shell script or if they do then indirectly09:46
figure002jigp: or maybe with the username "anonymous", i'm not sure..09:47

Dr_Willisred2kic:  vnc is easialy slowed down by a full gnome or kde desktop.  Thats what we were talking about 'slow vnc'  switching to kuist a window manager helps vnc out greatly11:18

Same with the DNS requests and internet at all .... this machine is sharing it's internet connection and machines behind it have no problem with the internet..... I tried to flush the iptables -  same result ....11:19
Dr_Willisxover:  could be the desktop is more 'complex' so slowing things down.  I tend to run vnc in its own 'hidden' desktop also. Not showing the 'current/local' desktop - that also helps to speed it up.11:20
Dr_WillisVNC is a very flexiable tool with much more.. err.. flexibility under linux, then it has under windiows.11:20

nisstyre65Can I ask a question? Why do so many people think ipv6 causes slow DNS requests? it's one of the first suggestions on google, and there's threads full of people doing it on ubuntu's forums. Yet there's absolutely NO proof it does ANYTHING, or solves the real issues people are having with their network.12:24
Dr_WillisRishab_:  ive never had to install any of that stuff in the past. I can access dvd video disks  as if they were data disks just fine. What are you wanting to do with the disk? Playit? if so try vlc and see if vlc mounts it poperly12:25
kasunlinxeh, i would love to. But about 96% filled HardDrive and no portable drive in hand, I have no option12:25
Rishab_Dr_Willis and how to do that ?12:25
kasunbut to stick with ntfs drive12:26
geirhakasun: No, linux can't do filesystem checks on ntfs. You must have windows for that.12:26
Dr_WillisRishab_:  Install the vlc player.. start vlc.. tell it to play the dvd...12:26
erUSULnisstyre65: quote « I can think of several rational explanations for the poor user experience. If the DNS query for a web site first returns a AAAA record and you do not have IPv6 running smoothly, the browser will first time out before trying the IPv4 address. »12:26
rocket16erUSUL: I removed youtube-dl installed on Laptop, through Terminal, and strangely, no error occured this time.

kasunlinxeh, Dr_Willis geirha okay. i'm going to boot in to windows and I'll try to do a file system checkup12:27
nisstyre65erUSUL: why would the browser make a DNS request for an ipv6 address if you don't have a public ipv6 address?12:28

IndustrialI want to start a second X session with a different window manager while keeping the first not to lose my windows, processes and basically my work desktop. This so that I can mess around with other window managers :)13:36
IndustrialHow would I do that?13:36
Industriallike screen for X13:37
Industrial:P13:37
p1l0tI wonder what happens if you use screen under x... I guess to works withing the terminal window13:37

nicofsHow can I speed up my boot process? I recently upgraded my netbook with an SSD - but i am still far away from these 10-second-boot promises i heard. [Running Xubuntu on Acer Aspire One 532h, N270@1,66GHz]13:40

theadmin...huh. Wait, let me reconnect, stuff is being weird :/13:42
feindbildanybody having an idea what that exactly means?13:42
p1l0tI went onto my netbook and typed screen tomboy - lol it stopped the window from popping up, but the menu icon on the top bar still worked13:42

Unknown0BCNo go.14:17
Industrialits-me-again: i installed xubuntu-desktop14:17
arandfeindbild: Right, .2 is from -proposed, so the downgrade there should probably not matter. Likely there might be items installed from dotdeb that lingers and thus is messing with your package system. Try starting synaptic (Or aptitude ncurses, might do likewise) and checking out what's under "local/obsolete packages" And see if you can downgrade the relevant packages there to the proper ubuntu version. Take care if that wants to remov14:17

freakynlhi, i'm running 10.04 server with a java based webserver that is used to upload lot's of data (online backup). The clients uploading regularly loose their connection for up to 5 minutes and then log a network error, after the 5 mins they happily continue. ufw is enabled and 80/443 is open in there (http(s) is used to upload). I think it's some kind of rate limiter in ufw or something can it be removed (and perferably only for the 80/443)?14:20
Unknown0BCActionParsnip, Well. If I can just figure out why the ./configure is not seeing my libraries.14:20
its-me-againIndustrial: in terminal try this "sudo apt-get purge xfce4 && sudo apt-get remove xfce4" if that does not work then find each application adn remove them in synaptic ok14:20

Vigo_I was trying for a vanilla Ubuntu, I do not need Bluetooth, Printers, and other packages,I downloaded the Minimal with hopes of doing a custom or personal install ofg packages as I needed or required that uses minimum resources and is not such a monolithic kernel of packages I never use, I did the Minimal Install, but ended up with tti only, what or where did I foul up at?14:52

DrMax__I have a macbookpro, I want the "gauge" key (F4, without function) to be remapped to show battery information. What's the best way of doing so ?14:54
abhijithello abhinav_singh14:54
abhinav_singhhello abhijit14:55
n00b__i want to dispaly all my dpkg --get selections | less during my startup , what should i do???14:55
jimlovell777Vigo_: I've never tried a minimal install only the alternate install but perhaps you didn't foul up, maybe that's just what it is. I would do a full install and de-select everything you don't need use. Synaptic will generate a script to copy that action should you need to re-install at a later date,14:55
ActionParsnipVigo_: install lubuntu-desktop   for a minimal distro14:55
theadminn00b__: You wouldn't pipe it to less, or else your boot'd be stuck14:55
ActionParsnipyou can remove cups and bluetooth stuff after the install but it will be very small and incredibly fast14:55
n00b__y so ??? wil the EOF wont work14:55
jimlovell777DrMax__: System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts should do it I think,14:56
ActionParsnipn00b__: less is interactive14:56
theadminn00b__: Just DON'T pipe it to less and that's all?14:56
DrMax__jimlovell777 : no, there's no "show battery status" in there14:56
Vigo_jimlovell777, ActionParsnip: Thank you very much.14:56
DrMax__I've also looked in gconf-editor for a setting that had no interface element attached to it, to no avail14:57
n00b__so what if i want to print all these with a diff of .25 seconds or less14:57
n00b__but still how to do it14:57
n00b__???14:57
jimlovell777DrMax__: You would add the "Show Battery Status" command and map the key to it. I'd have to google the "Show battery Status" command though.14:57
DrMax__n00b__ : maybe with watch?14:57
Vigo_ActionParsnip: I think that is the ticket, I do not have a printer and knew I was forgetting something.14:57
ActionParsnipn00b__: make a script to do it then launch it at startup with an ampersand to put it in the background14:57
ActionParsnipVigo_: just pull out cups and you'll be ok14:57
n00b__can you please elaborate i am very new to linux14:58
coz_Vigo_,  I found that Edubuntu-desktop  has both kde and gnome applications but is far faster than if you installed both of those DE's onto ubuntu14:58
theadmincoz_: Somehow that is true14:58
DrMax__jimlovell777 : yes, I thought of that, but after quite a lot of googleing I haven't found an acceptable lynx-èsque way to do this. All I found was complicated scripts to parse ACPI information14:58
Vigo_ActionParsnip: I was going to use that auto script on the forums, looks painless enough....14:58
DrMax__which are susceptible to break at next update...14:58

jimlovell777DrMax__: The status bar top right shows it at a click, there's gotta to be a way to invoke it with a keypress. I/we'd have to find that command though, I think that's the most favorable solution.14:59
n00b__please?14:59
theadminHm... Say, if I'm torrenting something onto a NTFS device, will it be in any way slower (?) than on ext4?14:59
ActionParsnipn00b__: ampersand puts commands in the background so other apps can run, you can use a script to do whatever you wish. I recommend you output the output of your commands to files and you can read the files14:59
ActionParsnipn00b__: be patient, i'm not that bloody fast14:59
jimlovell777theadmin: I don't *know* but I'd say not.15:00
Vigo_coz_: Yes, I  am happy with the TLI, I also want to test some eye-candy out to see performance stats.15:00
knightstalkerHello,Any reasons all Persian subtitles I download are changed to some weird characters?15:00
ActionParsnipn00b__: less is not appropriate here as the whole bootup will hang while you read the screen15:00
zethi15:00
coz_Vigo_,  then compiz would be one approach15:00
theadminknightstalker: Encoding. Do you know what encoding they are in?15:00
n00b__please?15:00
knightstalkertheadmin,UTF-815:00
DrMax__jimlovell777 : that's the solution I was exploring. There aught to be a way, since on my other laptop, the xf86Battery key works well15:00
coz_Vigo_,  which is the hardware configuration of your machine?15:00
theadminknightstalker: That's unlikely since then they would display properly :/15:01
coz_Vigo_,  rather "what" is it15:01
zetpeople you see what i write?15:01
jimlovell777DrMax__: I'll do some googleing... That might be a feature I want on my laptop too.15:01
knightstalkertheadmin -.-15:01
theadminzet: Yah.15:01
Vigo_coz_: Older CPU, 1.7g RAM.15:01
knightstalkertheadmin,well,I just opened them in gedit and it failed,let me also try in Media Player15:01
coz_Vigo_,  that shouldnt be a problem...how much ram and which video card?15:01
theadminVigo_: 1.7 gig? That's damn fast to run GNOME... (which runs perfectly well on even 512mb)15:01
ActionParsnipVigo_: for compiz we only need your video chip, the rest is moot15:01
n00b_please help15:02
przemek_I have some problem, I tried to compile QMYSQL driver on Ubuntu in this way:  qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L/usr/local/lib -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro && make. In result: ../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient_r  Is it problem with qt? ubuntu? mysql?15:02
DrMax__On my dell mini, there's a key with an battery icon; emits xf86battery, and it causes the OSD to display "battery, x hours y minutes left" or something15:02
coz_Vigo_,  in terminal    lspci | grep -i vga15:02
Vigo_coz_: 256mb or so, it is a Radeon 650 series, also ancient in computer terms.15:02
coz_Vigo_,  mm let me check for ati hold on15:02
DrMax__but on the macbookpro, there's a gauge key that is used for nothing, I would like to remap it to xf86battery, or at least cause the OSD to display battery status15:02
ActionParsnipn00b_: what are you trying to achieve exactly?15:02
darksider ##php15:02
coz_Vigo_,     Compiz requires at least a Radeon 7000 (or M6). For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver.15:02
ActionParsnipVigo_: better than most of my systems here15:03
theadminVigo_: I have a Radeon Xpress and it does run Compiz here15:03
coz_Vigo_,  did the video driver install by default on that system?15:03
DrMax__I've tried to remap it to 244 (xf86battery) but while xev reports xf86battery as pressed, the OSD is not brought up15:03
theadminVigo_: Unsure whether that's "better" or "worse" than what you have :D15:03
n00b_i just want to print all my installed softwares during my startup with a certain time interval15:03
mradHi15:04
Vigo_theadmin: Yeah, I am testing stuff for donated laptops on a home box, this is a test, only a test, but backups are still made vigorously.15:04
DrMax__n00b_ : man watch15:04
coz_Vigo_,  if you are really concerned about resource useage and you are the cli   you can just sudo apt-get install lxde  I believe15:04
DrMax__watch runs a command periodically15:04
coz_or  lubuntu-desktop15:04
ActionParsnipn00b_: why during startup? It's not going to change between then and login....15:04
mradHi15:04

zetI have problems with my scanner scanjet 3770 10.04 system. Ubuntu dont see my scanner.Plz help!15:05
ActionParsnipVigo_: lubuntu-desktop will also install some super lightweight apps instead of the usual heavy stuff which comes with ubuntu15:05
n00b_i want it when it check battery states and all15:05
theadminNow... Any easy CLI disk burner? Wanna finally figure how does one do it from CLI15:05
Vigo_coz_: Yes I already tried and tested LXDE, !#Crunch seemed to be a bit spiffier,15:05
DrMax__n00b_ : try watch -n 2 date15:05
DrMax__it will update time/date every 2s15:05
coz_Vigo_,  yeah crunchbang  is a bit spiffier but didnt they move away from ubuntu based?15:05
n00b_where should i write this15:06
DrMax__in a bash script15:06
DrMax__or in system->preference->startup applications15:06
ActionParsnipn00b_: sure but between the battery state and login it won't change, so running a command every 2 seconds or whatever will have zero difference15:06
Vigo_ActionParsnip: Yes, you are getting the idea of what I am testing and the parameters that I wish to stay in or under.15:06
ActionParsnipn00b_: if you put the script where DrMax__ says then it will run at logon15:06
theadmincoz_: Crunchbang is, currently, based on Jaunty which will be EOL very, VERY soon. (Altough that may be old info - I'm not watching it that often)15:07
DrMax__ActionParsnip : I think he wants to monitor programs loading or something15:07

ThijsHi. Question.. Ubuntu doesn't let me connect from the internet, however if i connect from a server within the network it works properly. The server however hosts a website which is properly functional.. =/ Any tips on how to fix this? I don't know where to start tackeling this problem, i've tried editing the /etc/hosts file, but no effect...16:33
schproodlehotfloppy: Then I must convert /etc/fstab to UUID eh?  I read up a little on UUID but I don't see how it fixes the problem yet.16:33
kartheeBluesKaj:  anywez .. its not going to ruin anything .. ll be a good experience with something new for me :-) ..16:33
ActionParsnipThijs: change your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf   to 8.8.8.8    and 8.8.4.4    does it work ok then?16:34

falconicin various flavors.. Ruby, REE, Jruby etc20:46
ikoniaManDay: ok, my hint is removing the ubuntu packages before dropping new ones in, as that keeps the package manager in check. Also if possible view the ubuntu configure script for that package to get the locations at build time the same20:46

Spanglish_7776Guest13171 if you make a directory in your home called bin and dump it in there you should be able to call it from where ever20:47
bogdomaniafalconic, on ruby you can`t do very large projects whatsoever, therefore, with 2gb  ram and an intel i5 should work just fine..20:47
ManDayikonia, ok, thanks. simply force apt-get to remove the package with ignoring deps, right?20:47

Spanglish_7776neezer how are you configuring the OpenVPN Client conf, gui?20:51
falconicand loading of stuff20:51
^peanut^Bernardo: I only have 8 xen images running atm via para-virt. so 4 is more than enough.20:51
thune3robotgunslinger: driver is supposed to autoshift based on signal quality. You can try setting it higher and see what happens 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M', or some higher one 22M maybe, but you may need to set it back to auto if it doesn't work well.20:51
bogdomaniafalconic, depends on how well optimized is the SO && apps20:51

neezerSpanglish_7776, I am using the gui I think....but I downloaded a config file from the server I think?20:52

harotrism, i found the problem21:38
neezerthe server is in the dmz.21:39

trismharo: what was the problem?21:39

markbenMetalGeek: I tried VLC and totem.   Also tried out Banshee21:39
harowasnt even being imported..21:39

neezercould the isp be blocking the port? i know they block any incomming on port 80...i have to run my website on 443 as an https site.21:39
Spanglish_7776neezer, I would assume anything not being forwarded would go to the dmz, there isn't a rule for forwarding port 1194 right?21:39
neezernope.21:39
neezerthere are no forwarding rules at all on the router. just the server on the dmz.21:40
Spanglish_7776neezer, change the port on the server conf and restart it and then change it on the client conf and try again21:40
neezerfigured it would be easier than only forwarding specific ports.21:40
MetalGeek_N00bSo dose anyone know it gparted is any good or would you suggest that i use the crerate a seperate home web page instructions21:40
Dr_WillisMetalGeek_N00b:  i always make a seperate /home/ parittion.. and gparted works very well..21:41

brack10Hi21:56
buddha_hi21:56
brack10I'm trying to setup a syslog server on Ubundu for my Cisco devices.  I've installed syslogd, and in syslogd.conf I've added "local7.*                        /var/log/cisco.log".  I enabled logging on my cisco device and when I tcpdump I see local7 packets coming through on my eth0 interface OK.  However they're not showing up in cisco.log21:57
brack10Anyone know why?21:57
brack10or how I can begin to troubleshoot?21:57
Misantropollutz, thanks, i have to restart for my blue tooth adapter to work, but thanks, the app seems to be what i want21:58
Theaxiomhow do I find out which is the current video driver loaded?21:58
Theaxiomanyone?21:58
TheaxiomI need to know which display driver is currently loaded21:59
guntbertjiffe: if I remember correctly you have to run quotacheck via cron regularly (but that was long ago for me, so I might err)21:59
bogdomaniacheck the xorg.conf file21:59
bogdomaniasee wich one is loaded21:59
ZykoticK9Theaxiom, "lspci -vnvn" and find the VGA section then the line "Kernel driver in use:"21:59
Theaxiombogdomania, there is not one21:59
oCean_brack10: might sound silly, but after changing syslog, you restarted syslogd, right?21:59
markbenDr_Willis, Zykotic: The video plays back when I choose X11, or OpenGL video.  Default and GNU/Linux framebuffer just display black.21:59
jiffeguntbert: I was talking with someone who runs slackware who doesn't have to do this though22:00
brack10oCean_: Yeah I did22:00
jiffeguntbert: so I'm not sure whats different and why I would need to22:00
ZykoticK9markben, just use OpenGL22:00
markbenDr_Willis, Zykotic: Is there a setting I can change so this affects the whole system?22:00
jiffeguntbert: it seems like a major hack to have to run quotacheck, there's no reason for that in a working system22:00
brack10I basically followed this tutorial http://www.aboutdebian.com/syslog.htm22:00
markbenZykotic: OK, I've set VLC of OpenGL22:00

oCean_brack10: don't think so. I tried the same: on the client in /etc/syslog.conf, around line 39 or 40 there is /var/log/messages ("Some catch-all logfiles"). I changed /var/log/messages to @mysysloghost, restarted syslog, and my testmessages shows up in tcpdump *and* in the file specified for local7.*22:28

Bonkersanybody know how a user can find his Xauthority file in ubuntu lucid? I know it's in /var/run/gdm/auth-for-<user>*/database, but I can't seem to figure out how to fetch that exact path being only a user and not root, my user has permission to read the database file, but not find its location23:19
trismBonkers: echo $XAUTHORITY;23:20
Bonkerstrism: so I hear, but if I'm just sshing in, that environment variable is not set23:20
BonkersI've thought about putting "echo $XAUTHORITY > ~/.xauth-location" in my .xprofile but that seems a bit roundabout23:21
trismBonkers: you shouldn't need to access it directly then, but you can do: xauth extract $HOME/.Xauthority $DISPLAY; although you will need to figure out the correct display, since it won't be set either23:21
trismBonkers: you should only need to set DISPLAY in lucid, I haven't had the xauth issues that I had with karmic over ssh23:22
