DroneWorkjungledisk pricing is not nearly as good as mozy  :(00:02
Zelozelosppq do i install it with apt-get install gecko?00:02
Zelozelosnvm ill find it ty00:02
jagsI'm kinda a newb, I read a bit about fstab but I was hoping I could automate it :o00:02
bastid_raZormac9416: if you removed it, possibly 'ubuntu-desktop' may pull in the all the lost things..00:02
MikeWatersstbain - any free versions? Ubuntu One gives you 2Gb free for example00:02
ppqZelozelos, it's gecko-media-player00:02
ppqnp00:02
mac9416bastid_raZor, roger that, good idea.00:02
jagsbut I'll check out pysdm and if that doesn't work I'll read up00:02
stbainMikeWaters, no free version that I'm aware of00:02
ppqZelozelos, sorry, it's gecko-mediaplayer.00:02
Zelozelosppk ok ty for the knowledge hope it works better ;)00:03
fcuk112i am trying to connect to irc.gnome.org through xchat-gnome, but it's not in the server list and i do not see any option to add a new server, any idea?00:03
macofcuk112: is gimpnet an option? cuz its the same thing00:03
MikeWatersThere is always the "email it all to yourself" option! We used to do that with VAX/VMS :-D00:03
Ken8521fcuk112, click Add on the Network list, give it a generic name.. then click Edit, and set up the server00:03
ppqfcuk112, first: use a better irc client. xchat-gnome isn't as good as xchat00:04
macofcuk112: also, here's how to add them http://www.linuxchix.org/connecting-linuxchix-irc-using-xchat.html00:04
macofcuk112: oh wait sorry my link is for normal xchat :-/00:04
acleehello im a newbie to ubuntu having problems00:04
Ken8521xchat-gnome isn't that bad... it's not as good as xchat, but it's not that bad00:04
fcuk112maco, thanks gimpnet is an option, i'll try that.00:05
MikeWatersfcuk112 I ended up using Pidgin after a LOT of grief!00:05
macoKen8521: i actually prefered -gnome over normal xchat. easier config screen IMO00:05
sunny1Anyway what to remove all the user left the room msgs in pidgin?00:05
Ken8521maco, xchat is just as easy when you get the hang of it. but yea.. i used xchat-gnome for several years, over xchat, for the same reason.. and i still can't warm up to irssi00:06
acleeis there a chat client that supports webcam and voice that goes through aim and yahoo.....and i need step by step instructions on how to download it00:06
MikeWatersI am a Pidgin beginner - sorry :P00:06
MikeWatersJust works the best of any I have tried00:07
DroneWorkHas anyone gotten Mozy to work with Ubuntu?00:07
Ken8521aclee, is gyachi still around, for Yahoo?.. i'm not sure bout AIM00:07
acleecan i use my webcam with pidgin00:07
yabukI need a "id3 tag demuxer" to play a mp3 file, where do I find it?00:07
Ken8521i thought webcam/voice was one of the reasons for dumping Pidgin and going w/ Empathy?00:08
sunny1MikeWaters: I'm using pidgin as well, love it, except for all the damn left the room msgs00:08
Ken8521sunny1, pidgin is a great IM client... but it sucks as an IRC client....00:08
Ken8521to many good irc clients int he repositories to spend time getting frustrated by that00:09
nuestraIt took a bit of searching, but I got irssi working with ssl via the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010780&page=200:09
lazyPowersunny1, its a plugin.00:09
MikeWatersSure better than the ones I se 10+ years ago though LOL00:09
Ken8521MikeWaters, that's up for debate.00:09
lazyPowersunny1, if you havent already, install the useful pidgin plugins package from the software center00:09
MikeWatersYou haven't LIVED with the old ones :)00:10
Zelozelosawsome ppq its workin perfectly, would have never got it w/o your help thanks00:10

dhruvasagarHi, can anybody tell me how to save the video captured by xvidcap !?00:16
enavhi fellas... i got 2 displays connected to a single nvidia video card... but my motherboard have an integrated ATI video card....   y successfully can use  the 3 displays same time under windows... but the ATI card don't want to work under linux00:17
enavdhruvasagar: just find a youtube videotutorial those are nice00:18
dhruvasagarenav: hmmm ok00:18
dhruvasagarenav: regarding your prob, have you installed the proprietary ATI drivers?00:18
RockerBoy402on my broadcom card i keep having to do rmmod b43 and modprobe b43 in order to get my wireless to start. When the computer boots up it works fine, but if I ever have the screen saver come on, or the computer goes idle, i have to do that to re-enable my wireless card.  this gets annoying because i can't let stuff download on my pc unattended!00:18
RockerBoy402any ideas?00:18
enavdhruvasagar: nop00:18
enavi mean yes00:19
dhruvasagarenav: hmm !? how do you mean 'yes' when saying 'no'?00:19
blakkheimRockerBoy402: turn the screensaver off?00:19

noel_gI installed Wubi on an NTFS partition and I would like to move my installation to a real partition.  I have created a 2nd partition, but how do I move my data/conf there?00:22
RockerBoy402blakkheim: had it off.  problem is is when the computer goes idle.  and i don't mean hibernate or sleep (because the damn computer never does that, sadly), but just idle00:22
DroneWorkLOL.  Backblaze FAQ Look, I'm an Advanced User, and I Already Have a Set of RAID Drives with Perl Scripts to Copy My Files Back and Forth Between My 18 Home Machines that are in a Datacenter I've Built in My Closet. Why Do I Need Backblaze?00:22

dwarderis it ok to store virtualbox hdd on ntfs partition?00:23
dwarderstore == use00:23
dhruvasagarhdgc: you might want to check something like ps -ef | grep video in a terminal00:23
enav dwarder virtualbox HDDs  are fake HDDs   they are just files   the format doesnot matter00:24
tonsofpcsenav: sure it does.00:24
enavdoes what?00:24
tonsofpcsmatters.00:25
enavwell is hard to explain00:25

dwarderenav: so it is ok?00:26
dwarderenav: all this active writing to ntfs from linux?00:26
tonsofpcsenav: no, not really.  The file system that you store your virtual filesystem on matters a great deal for performance.00:26
tonsofpcsdwarder: you aren't writing to NTFS from linux.00:26
dwardertonsofpcs: ?00:26
enavdwarder: virtual box is provide you a way to test systems and OSs.... just create your machine worry free00:26
tonsofpcsYou're writing ext3 or whatever you decide to a flat file.  That file is being written on NTFS00:27
dwarderenav: only test? i want to use my virtual machine00:27
bsmith093i have an mkv file that im converting to an mp4 with handbrake. it has multiple audio tracks which apparently handbrake can preserve. my question is, how do i burn the mp4 file ( with multiple audio tracks) to a dvd00:27
dwardertonsofpcs: i do if i put virtual hdd on ntfs partition00:27
enavtest  use..  whatever you want bro... y got 2 web servers running on VB  very nice00:28
enavdwarder: tell me what do you want to do?00:28
dwarderenav: i worry that their hdd be located at ntfs partition00:28
tonsofpcsdwarder: no, you don't.  Linux writes to ext# or whatever you tell it to.  Virtualbox writes that data to a file that resides on an NTFS partition.00:29
enavyou are tallking about real disk or the fake ones???00:29
dwarderenav: i have real ntfs partition available to my host linux, and i want to put virtual hdd on it00:29
enavdwarder: NTFS is not bad, just avoid use FAT32 as base disk....00:31
dwarderenav: no perfomanse issues00:31
dwarderperformance*00:31
dwarder?00:31
enavdwarder: maybe NTFS and EXT4 work good but  the problem with FAT32 is that format is error prone00:32
hdgcdhruvasagar: other procces arent usin video00:32
dwarderenav: no fat32 in my situation00:32
dhruvasagarhdgc: but the error you're getting indicates that...00:32
enavdwarder: good00:32
dwarderenav: so, i guess then i'm ok00:33
dwarderenav: thank you for your answers00:33
enavdwarder: good00:33
dwarderindeed good :)00:33
RockerBoy402Does anyone know why when my computer idles the wifi becomes disabled and i have to rmmod b43 and than modprobe b43?00:33
dwarderRockerBoy402: a quick assumption check for power management settings?00:34
enavdwarder: regardless the real disk format you can create  virtual HDDs with the format of your choice (FAT, NTFS, EXT2 3 4)00:34
dwarderi see00:34
dhruvasagarguys how to check what process is using a device say /dev/video0 ?00:35
enavdwarder: you are going to use Vb to install some OS i guess00:35
RockerBoy402dwarder: i have tried to disable the power management settings to no success...however, why would I want to do that to fix my problem?  I don't really relish the idea of my computer running 24x7 without ever spinning down/hibernating/sleeping...00:35
enavwhat is wrong with the floodbot stuff00:36
dwarderenav: here is my situation i have host linux on ext4 and i have partition with ntfs and i put virtual windows xp disk on that ntfs partition (btw xp uses ntfs :))00:36

jribbsmith093: irc is a text-based medium :)00:37

RntedMuleIs there a howto or at least some direction I can get pointed to, to join an NT4 domain from Ubuntu (32bit Desktop 10.04). Ive found plenty on using kerberos and active directory on win2k3+ domain controllers, but nothing about joining an old style domain00:38
enavdwarder: im using ubuntu 10.04, my real HDD is EXt4 and y have 2 machines running ubuntu Server edition those machines have fake HDDs using Ext4 also, and finally i got 1 machine running XP, it have a fake HDD using NTFS.... everything runs like a charm00:38
enavchetnick: i don't like empathy00:39
RntedMuleVotan: best bet is to have a partition on linux formatted as NTFS and use FUSE/NTFS-3G to access it00:40
RntedMuleObviously, you wont be able to make your whole Ubuntu system NTFS00:41

pie_timechetnick, there is no such thing as "~/.Trash"00:51

Elliswill it rip and change format to mp4 or avi so as to save space?01:15
brummbaerellis, it'll turn the dvd into a magic ball of light if you ask it too. it's very capable01:15
Elliswow magic balls of light are just a little to unpredictible to have in my brand new house but think you for the recommendation last question is do i just install and run or does it require additional setup?01:17
brummbaerellis, it's available in the Ubuntu Software Center, and there's documentation here: http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/HandBrakeGuide01:17
brummbaerellis, it's an easy setup01:17
brummbaeryou may want to look at preferences before ripping to make sure destination format is what you want01:17
Ellisok thank you so very much and have a great day/night01:17

FluffyCan anyone help me with a server usb install? The installer seems to require me to have a cd...01:18
posciakhi, my laptop (ThinkPad T43) doesn't have a windows key, so I thought I'd map its Fn key to work as the windows key. I looked up its keycode in xev, got 151. Then I created an ~/.Xmodmap file with two lines in it: keycode 151 = Super_L and add Mod4 = Super_L. Then I run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap. But it doesn't seem to work as expected. Any suggestions please?01:20

Ellisbrummbaer ok gotcha01:28
Jorjonso how can i install a *.so file?01:29
bushbabyEllis, brummbaer, 0.9.4 is no longer available due to compatibility issues with the newer version of gnome. is of the official website so it seems handbrake is off ubuntu for now. you can still get nightlys though01:29
Ellisbrummbaer ive only been using ubuntu for about three days but im used to the concept from having a jailbroken iphone01:29
brummbaerthanks bushbaby. you think it's ok to install from the handbrake-ubuntu ppa?01:29

abstraktJorjon, you don't really "install" so files01:31
Braber01_guys I just switched from the Login GUI to the Login Shell, now every time i run the command startx I get a popup box saying that my key ring has  not been activated on login01:31

maco*it01:34
Braber01_After I switched form the GUI login to the Login SHELL when i run `startx` i get a popup box prompting me to enter my password to actvate my keyring any ideas on how I can fix that?01:34
Ellisbrummbaer thanks ive got it installing now hopefully it meets my needs01:34
macoBraber01_: you can set the keyring password to an empty string, which will mean your saved passwords are not encypted01:34
macoBraber01_: gdm unlocks the keyring during login if the keyring and login password match, in the default setup01:35
EllisBrummbaer ok now im getting a lil irritated. it wont let me install it because it says it requires untrusted software. there is no option to download anyway01:35
brummbaerbwuh?01:36
nuestrai installed gnome-splashscreen-manager, but it crashes & says: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/gnome-splashscreen-manager/splash_screens.rb:192:in `last_write': Unrecognized image file format01:36
Braber01_how would I go about doing that? I have no clue and my aunt has no clue about Ubuntu or Linux01:36
brummbaerellis, will you try arista? sorry to keep referring diff software, but arista looks a bit more modern than dvdrip01:36
Ellisbrummbaer ok ill try this one01:36
macoBraber01_: applications -> accessories -> passwords & encryption keys (or something like that...has keys for the icon)01:36

nuestraah, thanks01:38
Braber01_Thank you maco, however I've loged in, with the login shell so I don't understand why the keyring is unlocking when I use the shell to login01:38
macoBraber01_:  some application is requesting that it be unlocked, possibly the network manager01:38
macoBraber01_: it would be /automatically/ unlocked (without you typing a password) if you used gdm. because you got rid of gui login, you need to manually unlock it by entering the password...unless you set a blank password01:39
Ellisbrummbaer ok same thing refusing due to untrusted software thanks for all your help but screw it im sick of dealing with it tonight ill just buy another laptop for that purpose alone01:39

Stavrosbattery indicator, anyone?01:55
maco`AmR: then "sudo apt-get update"01:55
zegoaaroninfidel: well, that's not to bad then.  You can have each apache virtualhost listen on a specific IP (or multiple virtualhosts on an ip) and then just firewall off the intranet site and setup a proxy or any other number of ways to secure the internal stuff01:55
Braber01_um where can I find more information on ubottu and it's commands?01:55
bushbabyStavros: The Default setting are for the indicator to come up only when charging or discharging, this can be altered under General in System->Preferences->Power Options.01:56
aaroninfidelzego: and that all sounds well and good, but I have no idea how to do most of that.01:56
zegoaaroninfidel:  as for doing the public sites, in addition to listening on an IP, you can do Named Virtual Hosts01:56
Stavrosbushbaby: it's discharging01:56
Stavrosbushbaby: oh, ubuntu isn't detecting this01:56
Stavrossucks01:56
zegoaaroninfidel:  it should just be <VirtualHost 255.255.255.255:80> for a site configuration on a given IP and port01:56

aaroninfidelthe firewalls & proxys are what went over my head.01:57
hideki...01:57
zegoaaroninfidel: sorry, that's just one option.  Essentially you can secure the intranet site either with just Apache security, or something like requiring a proxy01:57
bushbabyStavros: has it worked before?01:58
zegoaaroninfidel: the former should really be fine, but it depends on your security needs01:58

maco`AmR: ok now you can install java01:58
Stavrosi purged postgres from my system and now i can't reinstall it, does anyone know what i can delete to purge everything?01:59
bushbabyStavros: could be a dodgy connection with the battery or general wear and tear. how old is the battery?01:59
zegoaaroninfidel: proxies and firewalls are the nutjob way I do things since I was bored01:59
Stavrosbushbaby: a year or so01:59
zegoaaroninfidel: anyways, for multiple domains you are looking at named virtual hosts http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/name-based.html01:59
aaroninfidelzego: nothing really needs to be secure on an intranet, the content just needs to be separated via IP so one alias of the company doesn't look like they're part of another alias (even though they are)01:59
zegoaaroninfidel: so a separate virtualhost which may or may not have a login will be fine then02:00

bushbabyStavros: oh i see, apologies it's rather late here! I'm not sure what this could be, as i said could be the battery just generally wearing and the applet being unable to correctly read the data? I have an old dell that does the same, as for a fix i'm not sure..02:04

So I was wondering if anything is 'better' about using KDevelop or MonoDevelop as an IDE.02:21
pie_timemaco, i need it in firestarter02:21
macopie_time: and firestarter's been unmaintained for aaaages. plus ufw is a part of a default ubuntu install02:21
macopie_time: why does it need to be firestarter?02:21
Braber01_IDWMaster: what programming language are you experanced in?02:22
AlbertoPIDWMaster: go with monodevelop if you use Mono02:22
IDWMasterBoth C# and C++02:22
pie_timemaco, long story x_x02:22
IDWMasterIs there OpenGL support in the Ubuntu version of Mono?02:23
Braber01_IDWMaster: then go with whichever language you feel most confortable with keep in mind that Mono dosn't have full documention yet though02:23
AlbertoPIDWMaster: for C++, use eclipse + CDT. Much better than whatever else02:23
macopie_time: well i cant help. its a limitation of firestarter that it treats interfaces separately all the time. i suppose you could manually modify whatever iptables rules files it generates, but.. thats all i got02:23
AlbertoPIDWMaster: not sure, but you can simply pull mono from their original repos, which has the last developments02:24
Braber01_I use Eclipse for Java02:24
Braber01_not that anybody cares02:24
IDWMasterOK. There seems to be OpenGL support for both IDEs02:24
IDWMasterIt's an addon package from the repos02:25
* AlbertoP wonders: network and openGL02:25
AlbertoP:)02:25
IDWMasterlibgtkglarea0.0-cil02:26
IDWMasterStrange. GL assembly doesn't show in Packages list in Mono02:27
AlbertoPyou might want to ask on mono channel...they are usually friendly02:28
mamece2hello i found that BT4 puts my laptop less hotter than ubuntu02:28
IDWMasterOK. I'll ask over there02:28

mamece2doin a make?02:34
dwmyersmamec2: execute it by name. if you're in the directory and its name is "script", try './script' (no quotes)02:34
dwmyersmamec2: also, 'perl script' should work.02:35

mamece2im right in the directory of the file02:39
Izinucsdmar198: uh.... check the bluetooth configuration options in ubuntu.. not really sure.. never setup a bluetooth printer.02:40

LordDragonanyone know of a widget or panel addon that shows cpu temperatures for my intel motherboard/cpus?02:41
drrob1Am I actually being read here?02:41
wedwomamece2, is this a script for cracking wireless passwords?02:41
dmar198yes drrob1, you are being read02:41
Izinucsdmar198: typically the printer has to be "discovered" by the computer.. then they have to "pair" .. usually asking for a password or key like 0000 or 1234.. after that you have to get cups to recognize the connection as a printer.. might even have to install another bluetooth appelate just for printers.. for that look in synaptic package manager02:41
mamece2wedwo yes02:41
drrob1thanks.   I never knew.02:41
Braber01_yes you are I was trying something that a bod had but apperntly didn't work02:41

jsecdmar198: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothPrinterSetup02:41
dmar198thanks jsec02:41
Izinucsdmar198: when I say printer.. what I really mean is "bluetooth hardware"02:42
dmar198Izinucs :: sure02:42
tris2kanyone tried the stripes web framework?02:42
dmar198there must be some mechanism for turning on "discovery" mode on the printer02:42
dmar198but I see no hardware buttons02:42
mamece2why i can execute it clickin it and cannot open it from the konsole?02:42
Izinucsdmar198: might be a software toggle on the configuration of the printer.. from the printers buttons and display02:43

IdleOnemplabs: the reason you have a bunch of depends issues is because of all the non default repos you have. upgrade automatically disables those repos03:16
mplabsdo you mean it will be ok if I uncomment some repos ?03:16
IdleOnemplabs: hmm, ok is hard to say but I suspect a lot of your packages depend on libs from those repos03:17
Mungyou'll probably have to track down the correct URI for them03:17

seidosis there a program teachers can use for grading?03:34
mplabsyes, I am or it is supposed to be lucid03:34

aromanHey guys. So I'm a freshman in highschool in the market for a new laptop. I have no interest in running Windows, and would like to know if there are any certain laptops (that run windows out of the box or otherwise) that are known to have very good Ubuntu support? I'm unsure about buying a laptop because i want to run Linux/Ubuntu on it.. and I don't know which will work well or not. Thanks SO MUCH!03:44
mplabsyes, it is03:44
mplabsI have to ask for one and it will give me one03:44
The_Acethen just plugging the cable should work03:44
mplabsit doesnt ?03:44
jsecaroman: most all of them?03:44
Gneaaroman: sager, perhaps?03:45
sunny1aroman: I've a azus K and can't complain03:45
Dulakaroman: I have an acer aspire netbook that runs ubuntu just fine out of the box, many laptops today run ubuntu without any problems03:45
jsecI've even had good luck with ubuntu out of the box on my MacBook03:45
aromansunny1, How recent is it, and what (if any) are the drawbacks (like stuff that doesn't work at all) with Ubuntu? Thanks!03:45
Gneaaroman: my eeepc works great with it03:45
aromanjsec, Well, surely some have better hardware support than not.03:45

Dulakaroman: laptops are mostly manufactured by a small handful of companies now, hardware support is much less of an issue now than in the past03:46
aromanDulak, Anything that _doesn't_ work? When did you get your laptop and how much did it cost? Thanks :)03:46
sunny1aroman: 6 months...9.10 worked great, no big with wireless. 10.04 has some flickering and gedit processing issues03:46

mplabsok, I will try to connect it, I will enable some repos and try with a new upgrade03:47
aromanDulak, Right, I didn't think about that. So you're saying that I can basically pick any laptop (off the shelf at Best Buy, let's say) and expect it to work well with ubuntu? (Maverick)03:47
Gneajust want to track down how it mounts /host automatically but can't find anything in /etc03:48

peeps[work]rebooting, brb03:58
Dulakaroman: in a desktop sure, but a laptop isn't exactly where you need to worry about the best performance, since it really won't compare to a desktop until you get into the high-end stuff.  Also newer means untried, I never buy the first new generation just because the second generation gets the bugs ironed out.  Re:  the new macbook had major issues with the case that didn't exist is subsequent models03:58
The_AceDulak, but you loose bragging rights :D03:59
sunny1aroman: Hindsight, I should've bought the one that supported hackinstosh...maybe you don't care about that. Its a bi*** to switch from ubuntu to windows for photoshop and back again for rails03:59

MisterExThe_Ace: Well can I do it from tty1?04:53
=== jesse is now known as Guest22815
Injectionpentium3, you need the correct drivers04:53
MisterExThe_Ace: I did ssh -X user@host  logged in, typed gedit, it says "Cannot find display" or whatever the error is04:53
Pentium3Injection: do you know where I could get them?04:53
holocenePentium3, checking...04:54
The_AceMisterEx, looks like server doesnt have X server running04:54
hidekiPerhaps the server does not support X forwarding ?04:54
icarus-cMisterEx, you sure the ssh server enables X11 forwarding?04:54
holocenePentium, normal04:54
Random832MisterEx: i think it has to be allowed by the.... yeah04:54
Pentium3holocene: You may also want to lower the remotes display resolution.04:54
MisterExIt does have an X server04:54
MisterExI just can't do it from tty104:54
MisterExWhich I suppose makes sense04:54
holocenePentium3, should I turn off effects?04:54
MisterExgedit opens04:54
hidekiAh, there is your problem04:55
icarus-cMisterEx, has X server !=  allow X11 forwarding04:55
MisterExicarus-c: I have gedit open..04:55
icarus-cMisterEx, um sure you can't run gedit in tty...04:55
hidekiYou need to be on an X server already04:55
MisterExWhat is a way of seeing which x apps are installed without admin privileges?04:55
Pentium3holocene: I would give it a try, I have had the similar problem, but also lowering the screen resolution on remote might help.04:55
MisterExI'm newish to linux..04:55
MisterExNot all binaries are in /bin04:55
icarus-cMisterEx, is the server running ubuntu ?04:55
hidekichange to tty7/tty8 (whatever your local X server is on), ssh -X on xterm, then run gedit &04:55
icarus-cMisterEx, typically /usr/bin ,04:56
icarus-cMisterEx, sometimes  /usr/local/bin04:56
Pentium3Does anybody know where I could get the sound drivers for an HP OmniBook 4150?04:56
MisterExicarus-c: lol, God no. uname -r says 2.6.18-194.11.4.el5 ?04:56
holocenePentium3, you are a genius. it worked and thanks.04:56
icarus-cMisterEx, looks like red hat enterprise linux04:56
MisterExI think it's CentOS04:56
icarus-cMisterEx, or centos04:56
MisterExOkay.04:57
Pentium3holocene: You're very welcome, just helping others.04:57
icarus-cMisterEx, you could rpm -qa   you get a list of installed package04:57
MisterExSo how can I tell what's installed that I can use?04:57
tensorpudding18, that's a little old04:57
icarus-cMisterEx, but that is off topic here04:57
MisterExJesus04:57
MisterExA lot.04:57
Pentium3holocene: Glad that it works.04:57
icarus-cMisterEx, that includes all packages installed.. not just gui app though04:57
macoMisterEx: lsb_release -a  <-- should tell you what distro it is. but also, yeah, off topic here04:57
The_AceMisterEx, looks like that server is not forwading X04:58
Pentium3Does anybody know where I could get the sound drivers for an HP OmniBook 4150?04:58
holoceneYes. I am giving the remote laptop to my nephew and will want to get it working over the network, but that will be for another night!04:58
hidekiLog into server, and try "cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep X11"04:58
Injection33 /join #reddit04:58
holocenePentium3, network meaning internet04:58
MisterExThe_Ace: It must be I can open gedit on it04:58
hidekiIf X11 forwarding is enabled, it should return "X11Forwarding yes"04:58
Injection33i'm back, had to switch irc clients04:58
Pentium3holocene: I have had the same dilemma with my Pentium III laptop trying to control my P4 desktop/server.04:59
hidekiAlso, make sure you are in X on your client machine04:59
icarus-chideki, why dont just " grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config"  :P04:59
sinmanhow do i access screensaver in kde?04:59
MisterExhideki: Yeah, cause my university gives me root privileges.. ;)04:59
hidekiicarus-c: of course04:59
icarus-csinman, somewhere in setting manager ?04:59
holocenePentium3, the same problem I had?04:59
The_AceMisterEx, id Gedit on the server is running, the X is getting forwarded04:59
hidekiI don't think you need root to read that file ? Do you ?04:59
MisterExhideki: It claims so yes.04:59
sinmanicarus-c: thanxs05:00
MisterExhideki: They probably have it locked down quite strongly, it's a remote SSH server for a university :P05:00
icarus-cMisterEx, didn't you said you  could  run gedit with  ssh -X ?05:00
MisterExYes I can05:00
MisterExIssue now is05:00
MisterExI have no idea what GUI packages are installed05:00
Pentium3holocene: yep, i would click something and it would only happen on the remote.  I lowered effects and resolution and it worked like a charm, but before I figured that out, I was stuck using SSH.05:00
Pentium3Still looking for drivers.05:00
icarus-cMisterEx, oh!  you could check out /usr/share/applications/05:01
icarus-cMisterEx, those *.desktop files are application launcher you see in Application Menu05:01
The_AceMisterEx, what packages do you want to run ?05:01
icarus-cCould you start a GNOME session  through ssh -X ? no ?05:01
MisterExicarus-c: for CentOS there is no app folder, it's all in /usr/share05:01
hidekiicarus-c: I use cat so I can easily change the search string without having to move the cursor all the way back05:01
mweltin_looking for some guidance.  My nvidia driver and kernel module don't have the same version number but so far my attempts to rectify this are not working.  running lucid if that matters.05:01
MisterExThe_Ace: Just poking around seeing what options I have05:01
MisterExicarus-c: infact.. there are no *.deskstop files :P05:02
icarus-chideki, i would use less and search within less in that case05:02
MisterExicarus-c: but a list of binaries is in /usr/share05:02
Pentium3I guess that this laptop is not worth saving..05:02
icarus-chideki, but yea. depends on the situation :P05:02
Pentium3Good night all!!05:02
hidekiicarus-c: good idea. less is my favorite text editor. It's just a pity it can't edit text.05:03

Jon--Not sure of any way myself06:01
mrwizeguy1983molly9, how accurate do you need to be?  any of us could guess based on our update install history, but i don't know where to find accurate data06:02
molly9The other part is about when security patches fix some problems but cause others. I can't seem to find any recent examples. Maybe there are none lol.06:02
molly9you know, an educated guess is better than I can come up with wading through all of the bug fixes!06:02

tripelbblackdoggy, look at the link I posted above please. It clarifies the situation.06:43
soreautripelb: That is a problem with the proprietary nvidia drivers. You may have to manually specify a mode line in your xorg.conf06:43
tripelbDoes 10.04 use /etc/X11/xorg.conf  ?06:44
soreautripelb: Yes, if it is present06:44

blackdoggytripleb go to system>preferences> monitor06:44
soreaublackdoggy: For the record, using compiz will not change your resolution06:45
tripelbsoreau thanks for talking to me. It wasnt present. I added what I was told (that had worked in the past when I did NOT have an nvidia card) - now the "screen" is only part of my monitor screen.06:45

tripelbsoreau, OK I'll explain. there's a rectangle on my screen that usually fills the screen. Now it doesnt. It's in the upper left corner and the rest is black. I had to chose default low graphics when I booted up, after I changed the /etc/X11/xorg.conf06:47

Well like before, there's a black area of the screen unused... actually 2 black areas, a 1/2" vertical band on either side of the screen. So effectively my screen is 18" instead of 10".  I'm good but I wanted to be complete.07:15

soreautripelb: Or, if they are already set to None, deos it make a difference if you set to Extra07:30
tripelbsoreau, I was right. The screenshot takes the entire "screen" (drawn by Ubuntu) rather than the physical display area.07:30

tripelbsoreau. this is not the same ubuntu installation. this is not the same computer. that's why the card is different.  I had the grizzly of a time getting ubuntu to install on my new hard drive.

chuHey all, wondering if someone can help me out. I'm a bit sick of maximizing gnome-terminal whenever I open it. Now I could just use a shortcut and put "gnome-terminal --maximize" as the launch command, but because I use gnome-do this isn't really satisfactory. I've tried creating a custom terminal launcher through Preferred Applications, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?08:33

babu__i'm a new linux bee....can you please define about open source....08:34
chukonbon: Does "man clamAV" (or whatever the executable for clamAV is) give you anything?08:35
\DSAFEW\gartral, can you use mount isofs and loopback devices?08:35
ross_when my computer is connected to the internet, sometimes, there is a pictures of a device on where the wireless icon is, what does that mean??08:35
konbonchu: i tried just clamav but no, nothing08:35
konbonshould i try man clamav ?08:35
konbondid not work :(08:36

konbonThanks08:37
lwqlwqwhen some error occurs while vim running the scripts , the message will appeared and disappeared soon at the bottom of vim . how to find the history of them?08:37
\DSAFEW\konbon, and you can set up freshclam to auto-update08:37

twiztidwhat program creates a ubuntu install disk from my current install?08:37
chubabu__: I don't entirely understand your question, but you could start by reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source08:37
\DSAFEW\konbon, clamscan -r /08:38
\DSAFEW\konbon, lowercase r and / is the path08:38
babu__i want to knoe the differnece between open source and foss08:38
\DSAFEW\babu__, foss is for your teef08:38
macobabu__: the "os" in foss *is* "open source"08:39
chubabu__: It's mostly about language to be honest.08:39
macobabu__: the last "s" is "software and the "f" is "free" in case you want to emphasize software freedom08:39

konbonThanks \DSAFEW\08:40
babu__sorry...in what ways open source is different from free software(foss-free and open source software)08:41

llutz_!ot08:42
ubottu#ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!08:42

hidekihowever, calling it free software shows that you care more about the issues of freedom, whereas open source is more about cost and technical advantage08:42

bullgard4Why is running on my Lucid computer the process »modem-manager« although I do not have a GSM, CDMA, or UMTS card?08:51
blakkheimbullgard4: because ubuntu comes with a lot of things you probably won't ever need08:52
cuddlefish_XObullgard4: It just runs whether you have one or not08:52
twiztidgreppy: everything, so that i dont have to set it up from scratch, basically like a snapshot of it right now, on a bootable/installable disk08:52
blakkheimor use at all08:52
twiztidgreppy: btw thx for ur reply08:52
cuddlefish_XOso if you get one, it'll work08:52

berkeshow can I debug this best? Strace gives me no hints. Any logs for desktopcouch or evolution?08:53
konbondue to the resolution08:53
blakkheimbullgard4: it'd be better that i not offer my opinion there08:53
greppytwiztid: setting up the entire system could be a little rough.  basically back up your home directory, that will handle most of what you have on the desktop or saved configs for applications08:53
greppytwiztid: backing up /etc can save most of what you have there.08:54
bullgard4cuddlefish_XO: Why is there that waist of ressources?08:54
bullgard4cuddlefish_XO: Why is there that waste of ressources?08:54
greppytwiztid: why do you want to reinstall btw?08:54
blakkheimbullgard4: ubuntu is meant to run on a large range of hardware, including old legacy stuff, so they include support for lots of things08:54
greppymodem-manager could be used for bluetooth as well (I haven't checked, but it's a possibility)08:55
bullgard4blakkheim: I know that. Still, it an easy matter not to start a process that is not needed.08:55

bullgard4!it | angelo08:57
chutwiztid: If you don't mind using a command line, the command "dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > $BCKP_PCKGLST" will export a list of currently installed packages (you might want to save sources.list [assuming you have modified it] and your /etc/fstab too), once you have done the re-install you can run the command "dpkg --set-selections < $BCKP_PCKGLST08:57

chutwiztid: If you don't mind using a command line, the command "dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > $BCKP_PCKGLST" will export a list of currently installed packages (you might want to save sources.list [assuming you have modified it] and your /etc/fstab too), once you have done the re-install you can run the command "dpkg --set-selections < $BCKP_PCKGLST; dselect" which will re-install all the old packages, replace the sources.li08:59

(MBR<--GRUB2)  MBR contained "earlier version of windows" [which is XP], and "Windows 7";;; to get there i had to select Windows 7 (loader)...   OK, then xp got a virus, so i activated the 7 partition and migrated the xp BOOT record to 7's partition and told 7 to allocate the free space xp left behind; so...09:02
twiztid...now i have a mess of chainlinked boot records that i want to just completely reinstall XP then 7, then Ubuntu... so its nice and clean but im just too lazy to re set up ubuntu from scratch and update it, and install all the little tweaks and settings etc...09:02

greppyniko-nojo: you're welcome :)09:11
MoopzYes09:11
rww\DSAFEW\: I'm not sure what you're asking...09:11
chutwiztid: Now, as far as saving a list of packages with Synaptic goes, I don't think it could be easier: In Synaptic, click "File -> Read Markings" that should save a list of currently installed packages. Name the file whatever you want, but make sure it's saved!09:12
\DSAFEW\rww, you said the "correct" iso, so I am assuming it does a checksum to check integrity09:12
\DSAFEW\rww, so can I tweak it to use my already downloaded version?09:12

Moopzglebihan, yes.09:13
Gnea\DSAFEW\: just install it on a usb drive09:13
rww\DSAFEW\: I meant if you're going to tell it to install Ubuntu, get the ubuntu-desktop ISO. Kubuntu kubuntu-desktop, etc.09:13
\DSAFEW\rww, alright09:13
Moopzglebihan, So it is installed, I know. But how to I select which one it should use?09:13
\DSAFEW\Gnea, the computer I'm working with doesn't have the ability to boot via USB or CD09:13
\DSAFEW\Gnea, and the internets are borked09:13
chutwiztid: Wait, sorry I got the name mixed up... Use "File -> Save Markings" to export a list of currently installed packages, use "File -> Read Markings" to import the list and install the packages.09:14
\DSAFEW\I'll be able to copy the installation files there and execute them though09:14
Gnea\DSAFEW\: what can it boot from, other than the hdd?09:14

evilmercenaryCameronH, great :) about partitioning: the ubuntu installer is set up to be as easy as possible. to partition in the installer, when prompted select "i want to install ubuntu alongside windows" and it will open a slider up on the menu. from there you just graphically slide along to how big you want the partition to be (i'd suggest about 10-30GB for you) and how big your windows partition will be too. then press "finish partitioning"09:38
evilmercenaryand it will do it all, automated :)09:38

jinkHello there.  I'm trying to get my vmware 1.0.10 server (winxp x64) to boot linux-image-2.6.31-22-server, but to no avail.  I turned off quiet and splash in grub2, but after the menu's gone, I get a blank screen that stays there forever (? too long, anyway).  The last kernel I tried and would boot is the 2.6.27-7-server.  That works fine, but I'd like to upgrade.11:01

obengdakorussbos: wait11:04
bobthemilkmanjink: In my professional opinion, if a version doesn't work, don't use that version.  The smbfs issue should be handled in userspace (fuse), not in the kernel, so I'm not sure that upgrading is necessary.11:04
bobthemilkmanAlthough, a certain kernel not booting is quite a dire problem, however the solution to said problem is probably beyond the scope of a simple conversation.11:04
obengdakorussbos: if you have important files in your installation don't wipe it out11:04
jinkbobthemilkman: Ok.  I tried 2.6.31-14-server too and that wouldn't boot either. :(11:05
obengdakorussbos: you can use a live cd to mount the old installation and copy files, configurations ,etc before you do another install11:05
chenlongrussbos:install ubuntu on dard disk in diferrent boot order or diffrent pations.11:06
jinkbobthemilkman: It's a cifs mount in my fstab, and this made me consider the upgrade: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2009-01/0549.shtml11:06
russbosobengdako: thanks, should it take ages to boot live cd? maybe i need a new burn11:06

jinkbobthemilkman: Another post suggested that it could be mptspi related (on vmware), so I put that in my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and regenerated the initrds, but that doesn't seem to work either.11:07

bobthemilkmanOh11:09
bobthemilkmanI think I may have just happenstance found a possible solution...11:10
bobthemilkmanYou said you're running Ubuntu inside of a virtual machine, correct?11:10
Syriaobengdako: when you open any folder or application, you can't see the control buttons, Close, maximize, minimize.11:10
jinkbobthemilkman: Correct.11:10
jinkbobthemilkman: (On a side note I should tell you that it runs fine on another machine (same windows, same vmware, afaict))11:10

jinkchenlong: russbos left. :/11:11
bobthemilkmanNow, I'm currently running 10.10 (which is set to be released in a few weeks), and I was looking through my available kernel images in aptititude, and I saw the following list of 2.6.31-14 to 2.6.35-22, but 2.6.35-22 is special in that it has an additional "-virtual" extension, in addition to generic and server.11:11
chenlongsorry11:11
eberryyeppi11:11
jinkbobthemilkman: Ah! :)  But that's .35, which I don't yet have, here. :/11:12
bobthemilkmanIf, and this is a big if, if the problem is kernel related, I'd suggest going about obtaining linux-headers-2.6.35-22-virtual from the maverick repositories, and trying to boot htat.11:12
bobthemilkmanYou can't download it? :)11:12
jinkbobthemilkman: I suppose I could. ^__^11:12
jinkAlthough I haven't a clue what the maverick repos are. :>11:12
bobthemilkmanmaverick, the version after lucid.11:13
jinkbobthemilkman: And I'm assuming s/headers/image/ ?11:13
bobthemilkmanheaders and image.11:13
jinkCheck.11:13
bobthemilkmanOr maybe just image... I'm not sure... I really do all my kernel work in gentoo, not ubuntu, so I'm not sure.11:13

bobthemilkmanJudging by my available linux kernels in maverick, and this isn't exactly expert testimony, it appears as though there was a bug introduced into the kernel that made it unbootable in virtualization somewhere around 2.6.31-14, and evidently fixed with a patch in 2.6.35-22.11:18

dPixanyone know how to make the computer work as a handsfree for the phone?11:21

sKuarecirclesoz. not me man11:21
Ichattlir:  - xubuntu    lubuntu   can  do both  with the usb installer11:21
bobthemilkmanHowever, since you said that it's a virtual machine, I'd go ahead and make a copy of your system, and then try to install that via dpkg in one copy, and see if it works.11:21
jinkbobthemilkman: Well, it doesn't boot now, either. :P11:21
jinkbobthemilkman: And as long as grub still works, I should be fine, I guess.11:22

BlaDe^since I upgraded to 10.04 (Happened in beta too so I went back to 9.10) my wifi drops  and keep sprompting for a passphrase, the ONLY way to get it back is to shutdown, and turn the laptop back on -- but it seems worse if I use it on the bed or whatever... if I leave it on the desk it's been known to go over night however I had no issues at all on 9.1012:31
jukIchat: no, Im using irssi and I know is't extensible by scripts just you gave a good idea, to write script which queries google12:31

Earlier today, I was suddenly unable to write files to the file server from one of the Windows computers. After a reboot of the Ubuntu computer, it suddenly won't connect to the internet anymore, and samba seems not to be running anymore. Anyone know what steps I could take?12:35
BlaDe^if that was the case wouldn't I of had issues on 9.10 as well as 10.04?12:35

BlaDe^probably the first12:41
underHi. I Installed Google Desktop but the keyboard shortcut doesnt work (CTRL+CTRL)12:42
IchatBlaDe^:  -  this is WAY out of best practise you think -  but  running  openwrt or ddwrt on your router would give you sutch features ... and it would keep your mac so it should still be supported...  -  but than again,  i should not advice you to do this.12:42
ThelzIf I'm running an Ubuntu Server with Samba File Server, and I reinstall Ubuntu and Samba from the CD, will the files that I stored on the file server remain available? (I understand that I'll have to reconfigure Samba, I just want to make sure the files remain)12:43
BlaDe^I'm not opposed to such things, for example both my iPhone's are jailbroken, etc. But i'd have to look into it more first12:43

Ichatblade  im wild guessing really  but i would give it a  40  or maybe  60% chance of  fixing your problem...   -    depending on how well the documentation is for you exact device12:45
chenlongThelz:need reconfig.maybe you should make \etc stand alone.12:45
andreiutzgreppy, no, just that nothing happens12:45
greppyin a terminal, do a "tail -f /var/log/messages" while you plug in the drive12:45
andreiutzxinglight, I have installed it about 3 weeks ago12:45
ThelzShould I just use the Install feature on the CD rom? Or use the repair feature and then reinstall over it?12:45
greppymake sure it sees that you plugged it in :)12:45
Thelzchenlong> reconfig doesn't worry me, as long as the files remain12:46

Evo11I'm running the latest ubuntu server edition. I had map drives on my window machines. Up until yesterday the server was running fine. But now today my window machines can't seem to reconnect the map drives. I have done a update on my Ubuntu server but still l can't seem to get my window machines to reconnect the map drives12:49
sacarlsoniceroot: ls -l12:49
airtonixiceroot, even just ls will show you if it is a symlink or not12:49
Evo11what do you think is the problem and how can l go about to sort this problem out?12:50
icerootairtonix: i am interestet in hardlinks12:50
quackiceroot: avoid hardlinks if you can.12:50
Cojagehey12:50
Cojagewhat is the easiest mailserver?12:50
Cojagepostfix?12:51
icerootairtonix: so the file is 1 time on the hdd on 3 different locations12:51
glebihaniceroot: in the case of hard links, there's no *real* file12:51
airtonixiceroot, ok, for me in gnome-terminal i think symlinks are having red background, and hardlinks have a blue background12:51
airtonixiceroot, not ideal but there you go12:51
greppyiceroot: ls -l the file you are worried about, after the permissions will be a number, if it's higher than one, it's a directory or a hardlink.12:51
andreiutzgreppy, it flaps on and of I think, please check the output that never stops :)12:51
icerootgreppy: the number is 2, to i guess its a hardlink12:51
quackicerrot: only when you remove the last hard link you will remove the file.12:51
icerootquack: correct, that is a hardlink12:52
glebihaniceroot: this means that there are 2 links to that file12:52
airtonixiceroot, also, when i use ls -o or ls -l. ls displays results in column form (therefore showing the target item of the link)12:52
icerootglebihan: is there also a way to see where the other file is?12:52
iceroot-rw-r--r-- 2 root                root              0  2. Sep 17:12 juhu12:52
glebihaniceroot: I don't think so, let me check12:52
icerootthis should be a hardlink and juhu is two times on the hdd12:52
greppyandreiutz: hrm, got a link from that pastebin?12:53
icerootok i createt another hardlink and the number is 3, so everything is fine12:53
quackiceroot: so you have to know in advance all references to an hardlink in order to free the space on disk.  Worse than checking if a symlink is dangling or not.12:53
andreiutzgreppy, sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/502593/12:53
BiG-Manybody knows about kthreadd and its spawns :(12:53
icerootquack: i dont care about freeing the space, that is part of the kernel12:54
icerootquack: or the filesystem, i dont know12:54
BlaDe^it dropped again, I have a dmesg if anyone would be kind enough to take a look... I'll pastie12:55
awantiI had lost my User name and root password.. is there any chance to create new one without losing any data12:55
rww!password | awanti12:55
ubottuawanti: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords12:55
quackicerrot: what I mean is that if you have a file and do not know all hardlinks pertaining to it, you will find a hell of a trouble unlinking it away to recall the disk space.12:55
BlaDe^The link is here: http://pastie.org/118873812:56
icerootquack: if i am correct, unlink foobar is killing foobar and all hardlinks of it12:56
quackWith symlinks you can always dereference the symlink, erase the file and the symlink and check for other symlinks.12:56
andreiutzgreppy, sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/502593/12:57
icerootquack: but i need hardlinks because i wrote a backup-script using rsync with hardlinks and deleting old backups automaticly12:57
quackicerrot: unlink foobar only detetes foobar IF you are deleting the LAST symlink.  If not, the file persists.12:57
icerootquack: so for every new backup i only have to copy new files, else rsync is setting a hardlink12:57
icerootquack: and have a look at "tab" to complete my nick correctly12:57
icerootquack: but that is fine that foobar will only get complety deleted if there is no foobar anymore12:58
quackCall from EXTERNAL-PROGRAM with "ln file newhardlink".12:58
Thelzgreppy: Happen to know where I can read more about replaceable drives and moving files for the ubuntu shell?12:59
quackiceroot: does your program know ALL hardlinks?  (same disk volume, only on files)12:59
glebihaniceroot: the -samefile option of find should allow you to find all hard links to a file, ie "find / -samefile juhu"12:59
quackicerrot: if so, use EXTERNAL-PROGRAM to do it.  You can use clbuild or asdf-install to bring it down.13:00

Braber01Hi I was wondering if anybody could solve my keyring problem, I use a scure wireless network, however everytime I login using the login Shell, then startx I'm prompted to enter my password again to start my internet is there a way I can fix this?13:05
Thelzgreppy> I see 2 /dev/mapper/ lines... they both have the size of the harddisks inside (which should be mirrored into one harddisk using the sweex controller)13:05
quackiceroot: I do not understand why the problem there.  Just create the foobar-YYYMMDD.bkp file, close it, symlink through EXTERNAL-PROGRAM, and open the symlink with WITH-OPEN-FILE.13:06

BlaDe^greppy:  I'm not sure I went straight from 9.10 to 10.0413:06
Braber01exit13:06
airtonixgsedej_work, there is not one. gdm2 themes are handled the same way your desktop theme is handled (this time round the login is done by the user called "gdm")13:06
BlaDe^I have the issue which is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/61044013:06
quackiceroot: close the symlink when you rotate the backup by falling out of WITH-OPEN-FILE and open a new one with the procedure above.13:07
leonidusk greppy13:07
greppyBlaDe^: when you reboot, does grub give you the option of using the old kernel?13:07
BlaDe^some people say that it doesn't exist in the 2.6.32-23 kernel13:07

airtonixgsedej_work, so you need to run the appearances program while at the login screen13:07
icerootquack: rsync has a build-in check-and-build-hardlink option13:07

awantiI want to connect my friend system (Ubuntu machine) through terminal using ssh. I am getting confuse how can i connect because he as 3 pc (he is using NAT for Internet )13:08
Thelzgreppy: That shows a lot of stuff, and near the end there's "Device found at 2", but df -kh doesn't show it13:08
greppyawanti: he has to setup a forward on his router for you to be able to connect13:08
greppyThelz: ok13:08
icerootquack: so i dont need to fight with symlinks, also rsync is checking if the file is already there as a hardlink and not sending the same file again, so i dont have to fight with diffs too13:08
gsedej_workawanti, if he is using router, he needs to have port forwarding enabled13:08
greppyThelz: just means that it did not mount it automatically, not a big deal.13:08
airtonixgsedej_work, i think you can do it with gconf-tool213:09
jinkbobthemilkman: Well, this is brilliant.... :(  I upgraded to lucid.  That didn't make my new kernel work, but the 27-7 still works, so that's fine.  Now I installed the 35-22-virtual as per your instructions, and that doesn't work.  After grub, it just says: [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3400, size=0x430190]  [Initrd, addr=0x37c6c000, size=0x383712]13:09

ThelzI have no idea how the usb drive is formatted. It's empty, tho, so it can be reformatted.13:09

NokioSeveas, i think i found the problem. Ill confirm in a minute15:08
AbhiJitheaaa15:08
SeveasNokio, looks like either ca.archive is busted or you use a broken proxy15:08
Ken8521blackdoggy, and you don't have system/admin/hardware drivers?.. or there's just nothing there?15:08
blackdoggyken8521: i dont have system admin hw drives15:09

rocket16Lol. Looks like there is no decent alternative. :d15:10
NokioSeveas, the proxy seems to be working really well for http though lol anyway ill bypass the proxy for now thanks again !15:10
Ken8521blackdoggy, hmm, well, you're probably gonna have to install the driver from Nvidia... and I've never done that15:10
SeveasNokio, which proxy is it?15:10

blinki actually got it from the Ubuntu Software Center under the name "VMPK"15:19
mattgyverghostlines, it might not be I just know in my experience i always find out at speedtest.net that my upload limit is really low and call the ISP and they say 'oh yeah somethings wrong'15:19
sacarlsonghostlines: it's not likely but there are cases where packet size can cause slow downs.  some times ISP's change the packet size without notice.  I'm not sure of the details15:20
Ken8521mattgyver, well ti depends on how low it is... yoru upload speed is almost always substantially less than your download.15:21
Ken8521you really need to know the speed terms of your provider.. it might be exactly where it's supposed to be15:21

patrickvDoes anyone have any advice on bringing back a desktop which has flashing gnome panels and mouse and no icons? I only have wallpaper.18:01
magicianlordpatrickv: install openbox, tint2, conky, and nitrogen to replace gnome18:02
bobstrost__:  i've run literally gigs of pdfs through it with no problems, but i don't doubt that there may be some that cause problems. still, for 99% of what i do, it suffices.18:02
cmykwell, I will try it on real hardware tomorrow. I sure hope it's a tad better18:02
bobstrocmyk:  stick with it. i think you'll like it.18:03
cmyki do, if I could only read it! :)18:03
bobstrocmyk:  did you enable enhanced graphics or anything of the sort?18:03
anygivennamei am connected to my ubuntu machine remotely...how can I use gFTP to transfer files to/from ?18:03
bobstrocmyk:  it was like this at initial start, right?18:03
cmykbobstro: yep18:03
patrickvWill that bring back old desktop or bring up something else?18:03
Picianygivenname: How are you connected to it?18:04
bobstroanygivenname:  how are you connected remotely?18:04
cmykbobstro: I really suspect the hardware drivers (parallel tools).18:04
st__anygivenname, if ftp is setup and allowed via dfirwall18:04
bobstrocmyk:  a likely culprit!18:04
cmykbut it starts up in like 10 seconds18:04
bobstrocmyk:  i suspect you're not the first to do this though. maybe the gods of google will smile upon you.18:04

magicianlordhow do you show the MAC address of your computer18:07
umanHi, sound comes out of my laptop speakers even when I have headphones plugged in. I do not experience this behavior in Windows.18:07
umanAny ideas?18:07
patrickvSo sudo apt-get install openbox tint2 conky nitrogen18:07
st__magicianlord, ifconfig18:07
dagny_taggartmagicianlord: ifconfig18:07
Tekk_st__: no way I can just move the key?18:07
greppymagicianlord: ifconfig eth018:07
bobstrodougsko:  i'm trying to do the same with an htc. had it working but lost the notes.18:07
st__Tekk_, which encryption is set up?18:08
magicianlordwhat mac address is our unique id that identifies the computer? or connection only18:08
magicianlordyes?18:08
umanmagicianlord: the computer18:08
greppymagicianlord: ethernet port only18:08
st__magicianlord, 1 interface, 1 unique MAC18:08
greppymagicianlord: if you have multiple NICs you will have multiple MACs18:08
magicianlordso the computer can be found using this info18:08

bobstromagicianlord:  well, it can be changed.18:09
Tekk_st__: I used the encrypted home directory option during install and use ecryptfs-mount-private to unencrypt18:09
Tekk_dont know beyont that18:09
Tekk_beyond*18:09
dougskobobstro: right off the bat, the box to select your device was greyed out for me, even though i had a bluetooth connection working18:09
bobstromagicianlord:  every mac address should be unique, so it can be part of forensics.18:09
magicianlordok bobstro18:09
dougskobobstro: freakin pain in the butt18:09
magicianlordis the mac address trasmitted over the internet18:09
bobstrodougsko:  may be completely different for yours, but i had to create a device under /dev, set up ppp to connect.18:10
st__magicianlord, no, it lives only to first router18:10
bobstromagicianlord:  probably not. they stay local to subnet.18:10
greppymagicianlord: the first 6 chars of the MAC address identify the manufacturer, I have seen some that have reused a MAC address on a device, that can be a pain.18:10
moegreenanybody got time to fix my grub..i really dont want to reinstall windows then linux again.. PM me18:10
magicianlordsome internet places use your MAC address to limit internet time18:10
bobstromagicianlord:  not to say something *couldn't* transmit it, but normal ip won't send it.18:10
magicianlordso they must have access to it18:10
dougskobobstro: ok. ive done that with a verizon phone before. i was hoping to take a nice and easy, network manager route this time18:10
magicianlordthatis a privacy violation18:11
greppymagicianlord: that's usually a local provider like a coffeeshop or hotel.18:11
bobstromagicianlord:  they are probably local... the router connecting you to the internet is suspect.18:11
bobstrodougsko:  it is wonderful using my usb modem.18:11
magicianlordwhat is suspect18:11
st__magicianlord, no, you must be identified in order to use service18:11
bobstromagicianlord:  well... it's sent with every packet on the local subnet, so not really a violation.18:11
magicianlordso they can then identify which website you went to, and then tie it to your computer, whether connected now or later or not at all18:11
bobstromagicianlord:  ip allows them to, but that doesn't mean they do it. so ... maybe.18:12
Tekk_st__: okay, any idea how I could decrypt it...?18:12
greppymagicianlord: your IP address will be used for that more than a MAC address, unless they go to your ISP or the coffeeshop you were using.18:12
bobstromagicianlord:  if they are at all clueful, they will have terms of service that you agree to that spell this all out.18:12
dougskobobstro: to be honest, i dont even know if my carrier allows it. my phone has a DUN profile, but i dont think that necessarily means its possible18:12
greppyThe ISP is the one that can map the MAC to an IP.18:12
bobstromagicianlord:  you agree to the ToS, they are off the hook.18:12
st__magicianlord, imagine me coming to ypur phone company, calling your name and getting your call log without identification18:13
bobstrodougsko:  does it have wifi?18:13
st__!pm > tekk_18:13
ubottutekk_, please see my private message18:13
bobstrodougsko:  you've seen the software that turns phone into little hotspot?18:13
st__Tekk_, i'm checking it up18:13
Tekk_ah, okay18:13
dougskobobstro: no my phone doesnt have wifi. though thatd be nice :/18:13
magicianlordst__: is that what they are doing then18:14
bobstromagicianlord:  how do you know they are actually capturing that info?18:14
dougskobobstro: if i have it tethered though, technically it shouldnt be too hard to use the wifi card in my computer to do the same thing18:14
mzuverinkwhat is the command to get an op?  Sorry off topic, desperate...18:15
Tekk_mzuverink: su18:15
bobstrodougsko:  probably. what i was hoping to do was not have to tether. just wifi connect to phone and use 3g from there.18:15
Xasemzuverink, op ???18:15
jappiecrmy network connections does not show up (anymore!) in my panel, how do i activate/get to show this again?18:15
magicianlordbobstro: they cant be potentially. thats the point18:15
st__Tekk_, I believe it's stored in partition itself18:15
mzuverinkAs in an operator18:15
XaseWhat do you mean, 'get an op'18:15
IdleOnemzuverink: How can I help you?18:15
halvorsHave it been released updates to maverick in the last 12 hours? I haven't god updates since past-yesterday...18:15
greppymzuverink: a channel op?18:15
AbhiJitmzuverink, you can meet all the ubuntu channels op in #ubuntu-ops channel18:15
lhavelundmzuverink: Hi. Join us in #ubuntu-ops if you want a channel operator.18:16
dougskobobstro: well, hey, if ya have the phone to rock that, then thatd be great18:16
mzuverinkKK18:16
bobstromagicianlord:  they could, sure. you can also be observed walking on the street. i don't consider that a violation of privacy unless it's actually done though. there are tools for privacy if it really concerns you.18:16
magicianlordif you change the hwaddress/mac with ifconfig, is that valid only until the system is restarted? or does it permnaenly alter the mac address18:16
magicianlordbobstro: it's easier on the internet18:16
mzuverinkjoin Ubuntu-opes18:16
jpdsmagicianlord: Until next reboot.18:16
magicianlordif people cannot do it, then you are safer18:16
bobstrodougsko:  i think you basically need to get the phone recognized as a modem.18:16
magicianlordjpds: thanks18:16
greppymagicianlord: depends on the hardware.  It is not always possible to change the MAC of a network card.18:16
greppymagicianlord: why do you want to?18:16
bobstromagicianlord:  what is easier?18:16
Xasemzuverink, type '/join #ubuntu-ops' without quotes.18:16
st__Tekk_, but I would definitely decrypt it temporarily18:17
jpdsmagicianlord: They can capture everything regardless of what your MAC address is.18:17
Tekk_st__: okay, how do I do that?18:17
jpdsmagicianlord: If you don't trust them or are just super paranoid, get off their network.18:17
bobstromagicianlord:  vmware and i assume other virtualization software creates macs for each vm, so there's nothing magical about it.18:17

NilsHHi there, i created a folder with sudo, but i want to be accessible as normal user now, how can i do thath ?18:18
dougskobobstro: in windows, its cake, just use the BB Desktop software. in linux, you have to manually set up a ppp dialup connection. its a huge pain to get it right the first time18:18
st__Tekk_, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory18:18
magicianlordjpds: sometimes that is not an option18:18
Tekk_NilsH: chown [user] [dir] iirc18:18
Tekk_NilsH: may be the other way around18:18

mobasherst__: i installed them last night check in synaptic18:50
turgonDr_Willis, do you know where can i check my settings?18:50
Dr_Williszamba:  set the keyring password to be empty.18:50
Braber01Dr_)Willis: yes  I am using wireless18:50
Dr_Willisturgon:  mc settings are in the .mc dir/file and check the mc menus/config feature18:50
domedagenAnyone in here wants a trail key for the native Linux game Heroes of Newerth?18:51
Dr_WillisBraber01:  you need to set wireless up some how to work at boot without network manager it seems.18:51
ActionParsnipBraber01: you can use /etc/network/interfaces to define the networking. Network manager seems to need an x server to operate wheras that file doesn't it is also DE independant :)18:51
trismBraber01: if you configured your network with network manager, you need to make sure to check the box to make it available to all users, or it won't let you connect until you log into your desktop18:51
DewayneCan anyone help me customize Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a Desktop... example: 'Recent Files' displays way too many icons. I only want it to display 1 row of icons.18:51
ActionParsnipst__: oh you mean guest additions?18:51
st__ActionParsnip, yes18:51
Dewayneparley18:51
Dr_Williszamba:  theres a 'passwords and encryptionkeys' tool, you use right click on the 'login' entry and change password. set it to be blank. it will ask to 'use unsafe storage' and after that it wont ask again18:52
benhemhey (again) -- went and got a belkin wireless usb adapter, got it set up per these instructions ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=863591&highlight=belkin+n+wireless+adaptor )  -- now it lists the available networks correctly but tries to join forever18:52
Braber01trism: thank you I'm off to copy your text and e-mail it to my self18:52
ActionParsnipst__: you install them from within the vbox. There's a menu item at the top when you have the vbox system running18:52
turgonDr_Willis, wait... does mc consider files on mounted drives differently then those on any place else than /media?18:52
ActionParsnipst__: it will download an iso from the vbox servers. You can then manually mount it and run the install script in the guest OS18:53
st__ActionParsnip, you don;t install them, you compile them so you need kernel headers and compiler and developer crap, why there are not precompiled ones in repository?18:53
Dr_Willisturgon:  theres settings mc uses to display different files differently i imagine - could be doing somthing to show permissions/ownership. ive never seen it flag a * at the front of a file and ive been using mc for years. S :)18:53
ActionParsnipst__: the guest additions are binarys afaik, the additions iso installs them for you to get sound / lan etc18:54
turgonDr_Willis, ok.. how can i change permissions from mc?18:54
Dr_Willisturgon:  via its menus.18:54
NigeyUKhi18:54
ActionParsnipst__: i'd ask in #vbox18:54
Braber01does any body find it odd I'm on a !ubuntu channel on a !windows machine?18:54
Dr_Willisit has pulldown menus. :)18:54
Dr_WillisBraber01:  not really.18:54
turgonDr_Willis, euh.. which one ? :S18:54
NigeyUKso am i, but it's not odd :)18:54
Dr_Willisturgon:  no idea.. explore the menus18:55
ActionParsnipst__: I've never had to compile anything for vbox using any of the guest OSes I've used18:55
Danielhow can i make a hello world in c++ and compile it?18:55
Braber01okay. just wondering it doesn't feel right using MS windows any more18:55
turgonDr_Willis, is chmod the command to change them?18:55
glebihanDaniel: see ##linux-coders18:55
Braber01!chmod18:55
ubottuAn explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions18:55
Dr_Willisturgon:  chmod changes the 'modes' on files.. chown changes the ownership.18:55
Dr_Willis!mode | turgon18:55

ActionParsnipPici: that works too ;)18:58
Dr_Willisturgon:  thats why its showing the * then...18:58
Dr_Willisturgon:  executables = *18:58
ActionParsnipst__: look into xrandr18:58
gabrielczHi all...18:58
turgonDr_Willis, ? i but.. OWWWW.. so an mp3 file is considered as executable?18:59
ActionParsnipst__: there is an xorg.conf for virtualbox to get 124x76818:59
arnotixe_khider, harder?18:59
glebihanjappiecr: and what is weird ??18:59
Braber01I have my shell set to always show me either the @ for links the / for dirs and the * for exes18:59
ActionParsnipturgon: if its on an ntfs partition then yes18:59
enzotibst__, xrandr18:59
Dr_Willisturgon:  if the exeutable bit is set.. it dosent matter what the file is.. its 'executable'18:59
osmosishow can i figure out what package a file came from?18:59
khiderarnotixe_, It is not selecting the correct card19:00
st__ehm xrandr what? it looks as the mess19:00
ActionParsniposmosis: dpkg -S file19:00
Dr_Willisturgon:  and when mounting ntfs/vfat often EVERYTHING is set 'executable'19:00
troy-319:00
khiderarnotixe_, When I double check, I see the wrong card selected, EACH TIME19:00
ActionParsnipst__: run: man xrandr ,you will see19:00
turgonActionParsnip, dammm windows... yes it's ntfs... cuz i was the patition that was made when i got the laptop19:00
gabrielczquestion about IPTABLES: /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT <---With this line, I ALLOW all the connections to tcp 80..  right? but, I want to open more ports on same line...  perhaps from 80 to 90 ...   How can I do that on SAME line?  any clue??19:00
ActionParsnipturgon: yep, that's why.19:00
turgonDr_Willis, igth so can i change the bits?19:00
ActionParsnipNtfs sucks19:00
Dr_Willisturgon:  for ntfs/vfat theres work arounds.. but its not worth the hassle i imagine.19:00
Dr_Willisturgon:  its all about the mount options used when mounting them.19:01
khiderDo I have to reboot after the card is slected?19:01
ActionParsnipDr_Willis: puzzle over eh ;)19:01
turgonAciid, haha :D windows sucks :D ... open source isnt that strong compatibility and program wise.. but the community is awsome!!!!19:01
mecoHow can I find the location of a folder?19:01
Dr_WillisActionParsnip:   I figured it was mc doing what it was supposed to do. :)19:01
ActionParsnipkhider: reboots are for windows and kernel upgrades only :)19:01
Dr_Willisturgon:  tell it to not flag the files like that.. no more issue. ;)19:01
khiderActionParsnip, Experience proved otherwise19:02
turgonActionParsnip,  puzzle??19:02
glebihanmeco: what do you mean exactly ? you know its name but not where it is ?19:02
Dr_Willisbed time for me now.. bye all19:02
turgonDr_Willis, haha... ok listen i did an automount in...dam forgot the name of file :P19:02
ActionParsnipturgon: the why is my mp3 executable puzzle19:02
mecoglebihan: correct19:02
arnotixe_khider, ok what's the difference between "alsamixer -c 0" and "alsamixer -c 1" ?19:02
glebihanmeco: use the find command19:02
mecook19:02
khiderI had the soundcard working after several reboots, but now lost it again19:02
Braber01um I was reading a book on all distros of linux and I can never rember the syntax for redirection to STDERR it's 1&2> right?19:03
turgonActionParsnip, oki :P... so how can i change this?19:03
glebihanmeco: find / -type d -name dirname 2>/dev/null19:03
ActionParsnipturgon: you can't really. Its ntfs being rubbish19:03
st__turgon, noexec19:03
Braber01I know another way to do it is >& but that's if your using tcsh and i'm not.19:03
turgonActionParsnip, can't fstab do it?19:03
turgonst__, in fstab rigth?19:04
st__turgon, yes19:04
VCoolioBraber01: >/dev/null 2>&119:04
ActionParsnipturgon: st__ seems to know a thing or 3 here :)19:04
turgonActionParsnip, indeed :D ... give me 2 sec st__ working on it not19:04
turgonnow*19:04
khiderHow do I SAVE the soundcard settings I want?19:04
mecoglebihan: How long does it take?19:05
Braber01VCoolio wouldn't that put my text in /dev/null? I just want to redirect to stderr not to dump it into stderr.19:05
Braber01*/dev/null19:05
ActionParsnipkhider: could add it in a script to run at logon19:05
turgonst__, the default setting consider exec?19:05
glebihanmeco: can be quite long, needs to scan all your filesystem, you can get it to do it faster if you have some idea of where the fodler is located19:05
VCoolioBraber01: sorry, thought you meant to dump all output to void19:05
st__yes I believe19:06
mecoglebihan:: Well, it's a program19:06
glebihanmeco: if you know it's in /home, replace / by /home in the command19:06
Braber01VCoolio it's okay we all make mistakes19:06
arnotixe_khider, oops. PCI soundcard? does it show in "lspci"?  (or if usb soundcard, in "lsusb")?19:06
khiderarnotixe_, how do I get it to save?19:06
mecoglebihan: It's a program I'm running, so maybe it's an easier way to find its location?19:07
turgonst__, ok.. done the change... i will reboot and try... brb :D19:07
glebihanmeco: you search in /usr rather than /19:07
ActionParsnipmeco: ps _ef | grep name ,may help19:07
llutzBraber01: foo >&219:07
khiderarnotixe_, It shows in Alsamixer and lspci--it is just not selecting it for some reason19:07
Braber01llutz: thanks19:07
ActionParsnipmeco: the process name should show the path as well as the name19:07

turgon_benhem, what;s ur prob? :D i might help :P19:14
benhem:D19:14
llutzturgon_: i havent read your story, what would you do, what filesystem is sda3?19:14
benhemmy wifi card crapped out; i got a usb wifi widget19:15
khidermagical, does not work19:15
benheminstalled drivers for it via a magic tool that grabs windows .inf files19:15
khidermagicialord, does not work19:15
benhemit's recognized and searches for networks and finds them, but it tries to join forever and eventually times out19:15
ActionParsnipbenhem: is there no native driver?19:15
turgon_llutz, sda3 is ntfs.. i want to make it noexec so that files are not considered as executable19:15
benhemActionParsnip: it seems not, not from the manufacturer anyway19:15
ActionParsnipbenhem: manufacturers rarely make chips19:15
benhemActionParsnip, I have lshw/iwconfig/ifconfig output if that helps19:16
ActionParsnipbenhem: if you run: sudo lshw -C network ,you will see the chip19:16
benhemright19:16
ActionParsnipbenhem: websearch for the product line to find guides19:16
ActionParsnipbenhem: what is the product line of the wireless device?19:16
llutzturgon try "fmask=0111"19:16

ethereticIs there a way to find out whether recurrent dns problems are local or external?19:17
benhemActionParsnip: that's the device19:17
turgon_benhem, sometimes.. below the laptop u can see the 'name' of the driver of ur wifi19:17
ActionParsnipbenhem: belkin don't make chips so showing its a belkin is moot19:17
benhemoh19:17
ActionParsnipbenhem: what's the chip it uses19:17
turgon_llutz, where do i put it in the line?19:17
benhemActionParsnip: I'll try to find out.   turgon_ : it's a usb widget, not an installed card19:18
TechKatso, i've got this problem. upgraded to 10.04.1 via apt a while ago, went to use piklab today and it kinda explodes with a complaint about drkonqi not being found any time you try to read or write to the pic19:18
turgon_benhem, ow ok19:18
llutzturgon_: like: /dev/sda3       /media/Data  ntfs    rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,umask=0000,fmask=0111 0 019:18
TechKati've tried reinstalling pretty much everything google informs me may be related19:18
ActionParsnipbenhem: belkin buy atheros and broadcom chips and put them in their adapters, you need to know the chip. What's printed on the pretty shell doesn't change what's on the inside19:18
khiderActionParsnip, How do I get the computer to select the soundcard I want at boot?19:18
ActionParsnipbenhem: its the same to linux, it doesn't matter in any way how it connects, the kernel handles all that19:19
ActionParsnipkhider: I'm no use in sound issues dude. Never had an issue in my life19:19
turgon_llutz, i'll try it.. then reboot19:20
llutzturgon_: why?19:20
ActionParsnipbenhem: so if you run: sudo lshw -C network ,what is the product line of the wifi??19:20
turgon_llutz, the partition is already mounted19:20
benhemoh, it's there?19:20
coz_khider,  I would ask this in both #pulseaudio and #alsa channels19:20
llutzturgon_: sudo umount /media/data && sudo mount /media/Data       after fstab-changes19:20

benhemI read the lshw, but I don't see the information you're asking for19:22
ActionParsnipbenhem: find the wireless device and read the product line...19:22
ActionParsnipMy guess is a realtek19:22
turgon_llutz, no chang!19:23
coz_benhem,   or do lshw  ...select all of it and paste it on pastebin.com19:23
benhemlooking for text like "product," "broadcom," "atheros," "realtek" -- nothing19:23
turgon_llutz, i wrote this: /dev/sda3 /media/Data ntfs rw,fmask=011,noexec 0 019:23
khidercoz_, nobody is on that channel19:23
coz_khider,  on either one?19:23
coz_khider,  you may have to pose the question and stick around for someone to answer19:23
ActionParsnipbenhem: use http://pastie.org and upload the file so we can study iit please19:24

coz_khider,  well how many days have you waited so far? :)19:24
benhemActionParsnip: that's the output from: sudo lshw -C network19:25
ActionParsnipbenhem: ok then run: lsusb ,you will see an 8 character hex id. You can search that for guides19:25
khidercoz_, 219:26
coz_khider,  I am not up on all troubleshooting for sound issues... you can open a terminal    type    alsamixer  and see if anything is muted but other than that , I would wait around in those other 2 channels I mentioned unless someone comes in here with better info19:26
ActionParsnipbenhem: you may also want to disable the bad wifi device so it doesn't complicate stuff19:26
benhemit is beyond disabled already -- doesn't show up in scans, drivers disappeared19:26

paradigm_XUbuntu 10.4 installed on computer, having issues with hard drive.  I have booted to the Live CD and run fsck.ext3 -pfc but it has been running for over a day now19:37
turgon_llutz, igth! so umask=0000 gives rwx to everything... and fmask is for files.. but why =0111 not other values?19:37
DandanI'm trying to use wireshark in monitor mode right, and it automatically goes back to managed, what can i do to stop this?19:37
paradigm_with tons of errors... is there any end for this in site or should i have chosen some different options?19:37
JackStonersedy: when u select the screensaver can u click test to see if it works19:37
llutzturgon_: fmask=0111 unsets "executable" on files for owner,group,others19:37
sedyJackStoner, yes it works. i've also added widgets.19:38
llutzturgon_: so files remain 666 (rw-rw-rw)19:38
llutzturgon_: so files remain 666 (rw-rw-rw-)19:38
llutzturgon_: with only  "umask=0000" files would be 777 (rwxrwxrwx) like dirs19:39
turgon_llutz, this ( owner group and others ) was not mentioned on the page.. I checked man mount.... it did not specify this.. so how can i check it?19:39
Dandan I'm trying to use wireshark in monitor mode right, and it automatically goes back to managed, what can i do to stop this? someone told me to disable the network manager but it will cut my wireless internet so how ?19:39

rusiviWas doing a little dusting on bug 24874 and while I am not a Perl guru, it would be nice to keep the way things are but with the option to alias hostname to something 127.0.0.119:46
llutzturgon_: maybe this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions19:47
turgon_llutz, rwx=7... but x = 1.. so when u say fmask=0111 u are still making it executable. no?19:47
llutzturgon_: you mix permissions and a mask. the mask unsets the bits19:47
llutzturgon_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask19:48
llutzturgon_: principle is the same for umask/dmask/fmask19:49

murlidhari messd up my sound and the sound menu indicator doesn't work on my gnome panel .............all i did was to remove the pulse audio system equilizer.21:30
ackatackjrib: how's this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/502837/21:31
PsychoMarioAnyone got any recommendations for some good 3D CAD/modelling software for ubuntu?21:31
murlidharhow should i bring my sound app indicator menu working again ?21:31
jribackatack: so you either had dotdeb enabled at some point or installed a deb21:31
SegajaSeveas: any other ideas?21:31
dagon666VCoolio: yeah, thats the one, thanks again :)21:31
SeveasSegaja, system -> preferences -> network proxies21:31
jribackatack: if you had a debian repository enabled and ran an update, you should probably just reinstall as it will be much quicker21:31
Seveasdid you set one there?21:31
ackatackjrib: okay, i'll admit it, i installed a dotdeb file to get GD working with PHP5 in drupal21:32
SegajaSeveas: no. i already wrote that a few minuts ago. no proxy set21:32
Mastermurlidhar: alsamixer, turn up the volume. Also try pavucontrol. As, perhaps a last resort you can reinstall that package :)21:32
VCooliodagon666: no problem; it's nice with zenity textview for a nautilus right click action on a .doc21:32
jribackatack: if you just installed a .deb file, then downgrade it back to the version in ubuntu's repositories (gd works fine anyway doesn't it?)21:32
SegajaSeveas: ah that was an other location. no, no proxy there either21:32

SegajaSeveas: is it possible to see some more log output from update-notifier to see where it failes?21:33

jribackatack: that's fine, doesn't really matter when21:33
Mastermurlidhar: Rightclick the menu and re-add the sound indicator ?21:34
ackatackjrib: how do I downgrade back?21:34
VCooliojsidhu: not sure if it's what you're asking, but you can monitor cpu/mem/io with it21:34
jribackatack: sudo apt-get install PACKAGE=VERSION21:34
Mastermurlidhar: You should have that alsamixer already21:34

Seveasjsidhu, benchmarks and simple don't go in the same sentence. You better just compare system specs (cpu, memory etc...)21:36
Mastermurlidhar: Alsa, the kernel and some drivers is what makes the sound work then pulseaudio is tacked on for a few people that want to control the sound output a bit better.21:36
SegajaSeveas: don't know why, but it works now suddenly. thanks for all the help21:36
jsidhuSeveas: that doesnt make sense21:36

snake_hdgc, don't you have a solution, or are you researching.21:50
Mastermurlidhar: Dont remove parts of stuff and hope that the rest of the stuff will work maybe, but its a good way to learn/the hard way :) Reboot after reinstalling that package21:50
FinityI'm on a laptop, and if I close the laptop (which puts the computer to sleep), and open it back up (sometimes, though not always) it'll freeze at the terminal before resuming. HD activity indicator goes wild for a bit, then stops21:51

st__Jon--, begin the file with #!/usr/bin/python22:19
Madwillis there a seamsless kind of way of doing this ?22:19
SeveasJon--, make the first line of that file: #!/usr/bin/python22:19
Seveasand make it executable22:19
mr_chrisMadwill: The Gimp is always fun to learn. No extra RAM needed.22:19
Madwillif i need dualboot i'll stick with windows22:19
Oer!register > Oer22:19
ubottuOer, please see my private message22:19
MadwillGimp was hell to learn when i first tryed 3 years ago22:19
SeveasMadwill, you could try running photoshop with wine22:19
dwarderno one uses RhythmBOx?22:20
st__Madwill, how you gonna run Photoshop if Ubuntu doesn't support color management?22:20
ikarRiotta, i see. Thanks for the info.22:20
Madwilli only really need photo editing22:20
Jon--st__: Seveas: I don't have a /usr/bin/python but python works from cli22:20
mr_chrisMadwill: It's one of those things you have to stick with to learn, just like Photoshop the first time. I was the same way. Now I use it exclusively with no problems.22:20
Masterdwarder: I use Rhythmbox22:20
Jon--what the hell22:20
dancekmr_chris, what makes you think running photoshop in virtualbox with 4gb ram would be slow22:20
kartanesiSeveas, i pasted it to your private.. pastebin didnt work with me.22:20
st__Jon--, 'which python' gives what?22:20
Jon--"bash: ./dbcli.py: /usr/bin/python^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"22:20
Jon--there's the error22:20
Seveaskartanesi, pastebin is a website :)22:20
Madwillmr_chris : and you do mostly photography ediding right22:20
dwarderMaster: where you use seek dial or arrow key to move to next 5 sec or something, Rhythm Box utter strange sound22:21
frobisher#ubuntu-off topic22:21
dwarderMaster: do you have that issue?22:21
Seveaskartanesi, anyway, you have no windows partitions, so you must have formatted last year22:21
dwarderMaster: where == When22:21
kartanesiahhh ok Seveas  thanks.22:21
Jon--I do have /usr/bin/python22:21
Jon--if I do python file it works22:21
st__why there is ^M at the end?22:21
kartanesibut pastebin was working with me... in terminal :) now it crashed.22:21
Madwilland how about a nice NZB grabber is there any one up here now ?22:21
sandydmr_chris: running it with 4GB ram will NOT be slow. You can also grab a copy of lightzone for linux if you want22:21
Jon--if I just execute the file, and it has ##!/usr/bin/python as first line22:21
mr_chrisdancek: Unless Photoshop can utilize the hardware natively it runs slowly. I've tried it. It also relies on GPU acceleration where it can (correct me if I'm wrong) which it can't do in VirtualBox. It's not a matter of RAM but a matter of CPU power.22:21
Jon--it doesn't work22:21
SeveasJon--, please read carefully22:22
Seveasonly one #22:22
erUSULst__: file has  DOS line endings22:22
Jon--I added the second #22:22
Jon--There is only one22:22
Masterdwarder: I have some issue with that on a semi-slow computer (2Ghz i think) on ubuntu.22:22
Madwilllightzone i like that !22:22
st__don't tell me ^M is a valid filename char22:22
Jon--My mistake, I thought I didn't copy it so I wrote in the extra # myself22:22
SeveasJon--, ok, and in what way does it not work?22:22
mr_chrisMadwill: I don't. I'm just a web dev. Honestly, if you want to use Photoshop at full speed but not use Windows, OS X is your best bet.22:22
Masterdwarder: Im not sure if its got something todo with ubuntu but i suspect it.22:22
Jon--Seveas: python file works. ./file gives: bash: ./dbcli.py: /usr/bin/python^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory22:23
Madwillbut os x will not support my hardware22:23
frobisherHow to you switch to #unubtu off-topic in freeenode22:23
ikaris it safe to install 10.10 beta?22:23
SeveasJon--, edit it with a unix editor, not notepad.22:23
Finityikar: I'm on it right now22:23
Seveasyou have dos lineendings in that file22:23
Jon--Seveas: I modifed the line with vim and saved no difference22:23
dancekmr_chris, so you're saying that even if everything else works well in virtualbox, photoshop will be slow? i also thought virtualbox supported gpu accel but then again i'm used to vmware22:23
Madwillikar i would wait 2 weeks for the official release22:23
Brack10Hiya22:23
ikarFinity, cool22:23
Madwilldancek it does support in "some" cases22:24
mr_chrisdancek: When it comes to that, VirtualBox is on the bottom of the performance chain. I've tried it. Trust me. It's slow.22:24
Brack10I moved an Ubuntu server to different hardware and ethernet isn't working22:24
SeveasJon--, with vim, delete the line and add it again22:24
Brack10I tried modprobe to get e1000 installed, not working22:24
Brack10what can I try?22:24
Madwillso should i get vmWare free edition ?22:24
mr_chrisdancek: VirtualBox is find for most things but for what PhotoShop does, while it is usuable it will be slow.22:24
Jon--Seveas: I did.22:24
Jon--Seveas: No difference22:24
ikarMadwill, yes, i'm waiting with hunger for the new ubuntu22:24
dancekmr_chris, ok, i stand corrected22:24
st__vmware had gone free?22:24
richardcavell /join #videolan22:24
mr_chrisdancek: I'd suggest trying Photoshop under virtualbox or vmware and making your own decision on it.22:24
richardcavelloops sorry22:24
SeveasJon--, then you're not using vim or you have an insane ~/.vimrc22:25
Masterdwarder: with my intel dual core laptop using fedora12 i dont see that issue. Perhaps playing mp3's requires more processing power nowdays, but i doubt it.22:25
dancekmr_chris, i can't afford photoshop :)22:25
Jon--Seveas: ...22:25
mr_chrisdancek: Err I meant Madwill22:25
aeon-ltddancek: settle for GIMP :)22:25
Madwillhehe, i'll try it22:25
Madwilland i'll try gimp again22:25
__Hybris__Gimp has a horrible layout :(22:26
nomenI cant connect to my wired network because network-manager applet is saying, under "wired network" "DEVICE NOT MANAGED" what can I do?22:26
Madwillall i need is photo editing for my GF, and gimp DOES have an horrible layout22:26
Seveasnomen, remove eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces22:26
Brack10I've done amazing things with GIMP22:26
Brack10don't bad mouth it22:26
Madwilllightzone might just be what she needs tho22:26
__Hybris__Brack10: link to pics?22:26
Madwillpic or it didnt happens :)22:26
mr_chris__Hybris__: Agreed, but depending on your needs there are times when Photoshop is just overkill and the gimp is just right for the job. Once you have the keyboard shortcuts down you an ignore the layout.22:27
Brack10alright hang on22:27
__Hybris__I'd love to see whether gimp really can compete with photoshop22:27
killawathow do i solve this error: error while loading shared libraries: libportaudio.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory22:27
Madwill__Hybris__ it truly can22:27
aeon-ltdBrack10: i have to admit GIMP does have a horrible layout, as does photoshop for mac, personally imo i like the workplace in a a desktop look22:27
Masterdwarder: I wish i had more computers to test the various compilations on. Ill buy a new computer in a while if i can. (Stupid economy thing you know)22:27
st__Madwill, not with CS series22:27
Madwillbut its a whole new sets of skills that you need22:27
Seveaskillawat, install libportaudio022:27
Brack10ok not now because they're on my other computer22:27
mr_chrisMadwill: You can run older versions of Photoshop under wine.22:27
killawatok22:28
Madwilli know only cs222:28
Brack10but if you don't have Photoshop, gimp does a great job most of the time22:28
ikarps7 is working great under wine22:28
erUSULkillawat: it depends. what are you trying to run ?22:28
Brack10My main complaint about GIMP is typography22:28
Brack10but I think for doing layout for websites, gimp is better than PS22:28
aeon-ltdBrack10: yeah, depends if your a filter heavy designer, if not just use GIMP22:28
dwarderMaster: i use vbox, you can use it for testing22:28
Brack10and it doesn't do print22:28
Brack10since there's no CMYK22:28
Brack10but who gives a fart about print22:29
st__is there some application to setup fonts.conf?22:29
__Hybris__True, all photoshops except the most recent run just fine on wine. But we need a comparable FOSS alternative.22:29
aeon-ltdBrack10: going offtopic, but there needs to a be a gnu image manipulation program thats minimal - kinda like pixelmator for mac22:29
Madwilli have a nice quad core and 4 gb i can buy another 4gb if i need i just want to get rid of windows22:29
Masterdwarder: Possibly, but i rather not have any layer between things as it can and will cause problems.22:29
mr_chrisMadwill: Of course you didn't come here for a gimp debate. It will work. It'll just be a bit slower. For your needs it may be fine. I suggest you try it.22:29
Madwillcs3-cs4 do not run so well last time i've checked22:29
Brack10aeon-ltd: why on earth would you want to use a program with fewer features22:29
__Hybris__"<Brack10> but I think for doing layout for websites, gimp is better than PS" How come?22:29

Madwilli'll try thanks alot, and i did apreciate the Gimp debate and i will test it and try to get my gf to go for it22:30
Madwillshe is the photograph22:30
Brack10__Hybris__:  Because it's more precise than PS without having to change a bunch of options22:30
Brack10oh and paste to new image is nice22:30
Brack10ok I'm done22:30
mr_chris__Hybris__: Because the majority of what Photoshop has is not needed for web layouts and the gimp fills that need adequately. Using Photoshop for web layouts is like killing a fly with a cannon.22:31
aeon-ltdBrack10: i wouldn't, just that theres no filler, if you've ever used 'preview' for mac you can change levels etc, but you can do full 'manipulation' like photoshop. thats why a lighter cheaper alternative needs to fill the hole between them22:31

mr_chrisDo you have the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ?22:33

mr_chrisBrack10: I'm not really familiar with out udev works or why it does that. I've just encountered that before.22:40
Brack10cool22:40
Mastermr_chris: sudo whereis udevtrigger ... its usually in /sbin22:40
Brack10I spent like an hour troubleshooting that problem in here before and this took like 10 seconds22:40
Brack10makes sense because modprobe said e1000 was installed and working22:40
Brack10messages was complaining about the driver but didn't list that file22:41
* dwarder uninstalling RhythmBox22:41
mr_chrisMaster: Fresh install of lucid. Did whereis as root. No udevtrigger.22:41
mr_chrisnot in sbin22:41
arcadiabefore installing that driver i had to > modprobe ath_pci, modprobe ipwraw, airmon-ng stop ath0,ifconfig wifi0 down to get monitor mode, but no acks, i installed this ath5k driver, i just start wlan0 and get monitor but still no acks...22:41

mahiooany help23:12
dsl482is it possible to use fstab to mount as any other user than root..? (or how to automount a partition as a normal user during startup, not as root)23:12
gmsI need to set up my router with a dial up connection to my router, the  router is in bridge mode so i need a pppoe dial up connection from ubuntu, i have tried everything and nothing seem sot work, I get the impression Ubuntu does not support this?23:12
Dulakmouse: dpkg --get-selections > installed-packages.txt23:13
mahioono tool to do this23:14
VCooliodsl482: if you want write access, make sure you own the mount point and mount with options user,rw in fstab; if it's ntfs it needs some more lingo, I'm not sure23:14
mouseDulak, Thank you.23:14
gmsDoers anyone here know if Ubuntu supports PPPOE dial up connections?23:14
mahioogms: yes is support try sudo pppoeconf23:14
Mastermahioo: What are you looking for / didnt see the question.. ?23:14
flixilHello, I'm trying to use ibus + m17n to emulate a czech kbd but whenever I activate the ibus with czech for an application that application stops responding.  ibus m17n version 1.2.0.20091217-123:15
kcjVCoolio: This is all I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/502904/23:15
dsl482root is the owner of /mnt, and anything created in there will inherit that, is it possible to override that and have one or more folders under /mnt owned by a normal user?23:15
flixilHow can I debug ibus?23:15
mahiooMaster: tool for overlay image or text in video from cmd23:15
gmsI tried that and it just buggered everythign up.for instance in wondows i can dial up and off whenevr i choose, is there not an easier way to do this in Ubuntu? Also do we knwo if teh latest release is slightly more effective in dealing with this?23:16
Mastermahioo: Not my field of expertice, sorry.23:16
gmsthakns for your reply23:16
zoranei have a problem with my sound card, when i plug in the headphones the speakers still keep to be emitting sounds, how do i disable them?23:16
mahiooMaster: thank you23:16
Dulakdsl482: you can override it in your /etc/fstab, the exact way depends on the filesystem type you are mounting23:16
dsl482I will be mounting both ext4 and NTFS partitions23:17
sweetpigms: iirc that feature is part of upnp, there should be a way to do it23:17
yan__if i want to use QQ, skype or MSN, which software should i install?23:18
VCooliokcj: I don't see anything to debug there, sorry23:18
kcjoh23:18
Brack10Anyone know of a web app that displays a text file in real time23:18
sweetpigms: your talking about through your router right?23:18
Brack10like for log files23:18
gmsyeah23:18
gmssweetpi: Yeah23:19
yan__can anyone answer my question?23:19
gmsI use it as a dial up modem23:19
dwarderhow do i disable antialiasing in Firefox23:19
dwarder?23:19
VCooliodsl482: yes, you can sudo chown -R dsl482 /mnt/mountpoint   or make sure you have write access there (unmount partition first)23:19
kcjVCoolio: I'm a little suspicious of ffmpeg23:19
gmsthere are a few of us on the house and we each have our own account, they are all on Macs though23:19
dsl482yan__: do you mean if there is a software that could connect to them all? Skype for skype, and Pidgin for QQ and MSN (and more)23:19
sweetpigms: so computer says connect, modem says ok and starts a pppoe connection right?23:19
Dulakdsl482: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions23:19
sweetpigms: s/modem/router/23:19
gmssweetpi: thats it23:19
DroneWorkAny of you use ubuntu to record your cable shows and whatnot?  What cablecard tuner have you had good experience with?  Multi-stream prefered23:20
gms?23:20
sweetpigms: yeah pretty sure thats part of upnp23:20
gmswhats upnp?23:20
DroneWorkuniversal plug and play23:20
VCooliokcj: try vlc, if that doesn't play it usually means the file is broken..23:20
Dulakdsl482: in the options for fstab you want to use uid=xxx and probably gid=xxx to specify the user and group to own the mount23:20
gmsagh23:21
yan__dsl482: i want to use QQ. i downloaded a linux version QQ, but it is not stable, it always lost connection, so i wonder are there any better platform enable me to use QQ23:21
DroneWorkI need to get a cablecard tuner for this PC, but I want to make sure I get one support by ubuntu23:21
gmsok23:21
yan__QQ is actually a chinese version of MSN23:21
dsl482Dulak: ah, that sounds like a useful clue, thanks, will try that23:21
DulakDroneWork: I have a Hauppauge 350 that works great on ubuntu23:22
DroneWorkmulti stream?23:22
* dwarder just hates antialiasing23:22
dsl482yan__: try Pidgin, are you in China :-)23:22
DulakDroneWork: not sure what that means but it has 2 tuners so I can record and watch at the same time23:23
DroneWorkyeah thats what it means23:23
DroneWorkty23:23
DroneWorkoh what software you using with it?23:23
DulakMythTV23:23
DroneWorkare you able to move your movies to other systems to watch if need be?  Any idea what format it records in?23:23
kcjVCoolio: Nope, VLC won't play any ogg files.23:24
fridgeratorwill anything stop working if i remove pulseaudio?23:24
DulakDroneWork: It's encoded in mpeg2 or mpeg4 don't remember and you can reencode to whatever format you like with ffmpeg23:25
DroneWorkI am going to be recording everything via my ubuntu machine but sharing the recordings to access them with my HTPC using XMBC23:25
kcjfridgerator: Only your sound.23:25
DroneWorkAwesome, thanks for the into23:25
fridgeratorkcj all sound?23:25
kcjfridgerator: Most I think.23:25
richardcavellI have a file that is on my desktop that I was only able to copy as root.  Now my normal username can't open it because permission is denied.  What's the appropriate terminal command to switch ownership/permissions to my normal user from su?23:25
AkernedoBonjour tout le monde23:25

FiReSTaRT!fr | jeand23:30
aciculapipopooo: do none of the kernels work or does it just not work with the latest kernel?23:30
=== `mOOse` is now known as Guest62311
pipopoooacicula, it does not work with the latest kernel23:30
Akernedoso, yes, about torrents23:30
fridgeratorAkernedo isnt vuze a torrent program?23:30
Dulakrichardcavell: if you want to be sure type 'id' and it'll give you all the info23:31
FiReSTaRTAkernedo: you have transmission preinstalled or just open the terminal, run "sudo apt-get install transmission"23:31
fridgeratorAkernedo I use the built-in torrent program "transmission" with no problems23:31
RedGrittyBrickrichardcavel: do you mean as shown bt the ìd`command?23:31
aciculapipopooo: any relevant errors?23:31
pipopoooacicula, kernel 2.6.32-2523:31
FiReSTaRTAkernedo: but check if it's there.. applications, internet, transmission23:31
Akernedoand you think that transmission always work without any problem?23:31
pipopoooacicula, iwconfig shows wlan0, but cannot bring it up23:31
FiReSTaRTAkernedo: has for me23:31
fridgeratorAkernedo definately23:31
pipopoooacicula, if i do ifconfig wlan0 up it fails23:32
Akernedook, i try, and then i tell you23:32
=== Guest62311 is now known as m00se
aciculapipopooo: aah23:32
aciculaso driver then23:32
pipopoooacicula, yes23:32
kurratai have a bash script( http://codepad.org/5bHKQQvX) and wanted to know if there is a way to on script execution to launch a terminal and execute script inside it not execute all commands somewhere in background?23:32
aciculadoes it give an error?23:32
pipopoooacicula, anyway to get the drivers off of live cd to get it working?23:32
FiReSTaRTAkernedo: enjoy.. it may be a memory hog when you add the torrent but it becomes nice within a minute23:32
=== m00se is now known as Guest68866
Dulakvuze is much worse on resources than transmission, vuze is a PIG23:33
fridgeratori havent noticed transmission being a memory hog... at all23:33
Akernedofirestart and fridgerator, i'm trying Transmission, I tell you asap if it works for me, but generally i've got problems with P2P programs, even if it's not a torrent program23:34
pipopoooacicula, is it possible to grab the drivers from /lib/firmware ?23:34
aciculapipopooo: well you could try loading a driver from a similar major kernel version, ie the previous version, but its not a given its the iw driver itself23:34
fridgeratorAkernedo, if you have a firewall set up make sure you allowed the right ports, same with your router23:34
MagicJI have an .iso file that I use to boot a standalone utility -  If I write it as a CD it is bootable - how do I make it bootable as a flash drive/USB stick?23:34
DulakAkernedo: force encryption on in the preferences it might be your ISP blocking/shaping p2p traffic23:34
pipopoooacicula, not understanding23:34
Akernedoconfiguring my ports and my router sounds a bit technical23:35
DulakMagicJ: unetbootin can turn it into a bootable flash23:35
Akernedoor just difficult23:35
FiReSTaRTAkernedo: that could be throttling from your ISP or even your own router glitching... transmission worked for me under 5 different versions of ubuntu, on 9 providers in 4 countries, so it should work for you without any issues other than the initial memory leak that gets sorted out in 60 seconds23:35
Ellisis there a room specific for technical issues with things other then ubuntu and computers?23:35
aciculapipopooo: does ifconfig give an error?23:35
MagicJty Dulak - I will look for that and brb -23:35
pipopoooacicula, yes23:36
pipopoooacicula, ifconfig wlan0 up -> SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device23:36
Ellisis there a room specific for technical issues with things other then ubuntu and computers?23:36
Masterpipopooo: The device is not up or doesnt exist23:36
DulakEllis: depends on the thing23:36
pipopooodevice can't go up23:37
Masterpipopooo: run "ifup DeviceName"23:37
EllisDulak lmao my flat screen is on the frits23:37
aciculapipopooo: whats the output from modprobe iwl3945 ?23:37
Masterpipopooo: Oh, it can23:37
pipopoooMaster, yes23:37
aciculaerr, sudo modprobe iwl394523:37
pipopoooMaster, modprobe works23:37
pipopoooMaster, but iwlist wlan0 scan does not work23:37
DulakEllis: don't think there is a channel for that23:37
Masterpipopooo: Modprobe wont UP the device you know23:37
MagicJdulak - the documentation implies that it will only make a Linux live/bootable - will it work for my stand-alone23:37
Ellisok just wondering thankx Dulak23:38
pipopoooMaster, i know that23:38
pipopoooMaster, modprobe works ifconfig wlan0 up does not work23:38
DulakMagicJ: it should work for any iso afaik23:38
pipopoooMaster, i modprobe -r iwl3945; modprobe iwl3954; ifconfig wlan0 up23:38
MagicJdulak - ty - I have it dowbloading right now - so will brb - ty23:38
pipopoooMaster, i know its a driver problem23:38
sykehi23:39
pipopoooMaster, where can i find the drivers on the live usb23:39
dwarderhow do i KILL AA in firefox?23:39
aciculapipopooo: what are the last few lines from dmesg?23:39
aciculaif modprobe fails to load the drievr it should output it there23:39
sykea RAID Array I created in the DIsk Utility ina previous installation won't "start" in 10.04 due to "not enough components"23:39
Akernedowell, so, fridge and fire, i've launched a torrent with Transmission23:39
Akernedothe download has started23:39
pipopoooacicula, not sure on live usb at the moment23:39
Masterpipopooo: Because you have no such file that tells it what ip etc to use or use dhcp. ifconfig will work anyhow but you should do it correctly by creating the file i know nothing about.23:39
sykethe Disk Utility recognizes that drives as having RAID information on them, but clicing "Go to array" and then clicking "start" gives me the "not enough components message"23:40
aciculapipopooo: the driver is stored under /lib/modules/<somekernel>/net?23:40
sykeclicking File->New->RAID array doesn't so what I want, either23:40
pipopoooacicula, not sure where it should go23:41
sykehow can I mount/configure this previously working RAID0 array in this new install?23:41
aciculabut the firmware that matches that driver may be different from the one thats distributed with the kernel you have in use, so you may have to change that also23:41
Akernedobut i'd prefer if i could use VUZE because it contains a torrent search motor23:41
Masterpipopooo: modprobe --list | grep net23:41
aciculapipopooo: im a bit rusty on forcing drivers to load, er insmod ./driver.ko may work? not sure if you can get away without dropping the driver in the current kernels /lib/modules/kernel tree23:42
nogo323:42
Masteracicula: modprobe -f (force) maybe23:42
pipopoooMaster, http://pastebin.com/YFjzFXng23:43
aciculai think modprobe uses the module index not a module filename23:43
pipopoooMaster, is it possible to copy all the *.ko wireless drivers ?23:45
pipopoooMaster, cp  -rv kernel/drivers/net/wireless/* --> to destination23:45
Masterpipopooo: That would be useless. Im guessing you only want to load the correct one ?23:46
pipopoooMaster, yes23:46
MagicJdulak - I do see in the documentation that I should be able to do what I need - for some reason apt-get in DEATHLY slow right now so have bot tested yet - will I be able to actually have an executable on my Linux partition that I can boot this from - that would be even better23:46
rdavilaHi folks, I've a question about the command "gnome-terminal", the command works fine here: gnome-terminal -e "vim" --tab, but with this: gnome-terminal -e "ls" --tab, the new window appear and disappear very quickly23:46
computergeeksjwI'm running Ubuntu 10.10 beta and I lost the power button and username dropdown (on the top-right corner) During the upgrade process, I got a notification that because something went wrong, something was unloaded from the taskbar. I thought that it was just being weird because it was in the middle of an upgrade, so I clicked Don't Reload. Now it's gone! :( How do I get it back?23:46
Masterpipopooo: Then google what driver goes with your thing and load it23:46
=== Guest68866 is now known as m00se
aciculardavila:try "ls | more", ls executes and terminates causing your terminal to terminate also23:46
=== pez is now known as Guest59582
aciculaor "watch ls" if you want it to update23:47
DulakMagicJ: not sure what you mean but probably not, unless you are talking boot a virtual machine using say vmware or virtualbox23:47
vientoxi need ubuntu 10.10 rc!! :D23:47
aciculaisnt there #ubuntu+1 still for 10.10 questions? (right click -> add indicator applet)23:48
MagicJdulak - the utility I have is SpinRite whic I like to run on a regular basis.  I start it once a month before I go home.  I was hoping that I may be able to actually shutdown to it or something like that - but I am OK with installing the USB dongle too - the CD is becoming less and less of an option23:48
rdavilaacicula: this works fine, but I need the output of the command and the prompt23:48
rdavilaso, I need the same thing as if I've executed the command on the terminal23:49
computergeeksjwacicula: I didn't think it was a problem specific to 10.1023:49
DulakMagicJ: Yeah you can't really do that, the usb flash is about the best you'll get23:49

thechitowwtf happened23:49
LjLsome spam. ignore it23:49
aciculayou need to either start another program that doesnt terminate, hence the pipe more, or use watch to continously respawn ls23:50
MagicJdulak - and that's fine - ty so much - it still is only at 60% downloaded - some weird cohgestion to that repository23:50
rdavilaacicula: is it possible to maintain the terminal with the prompt open after that?23:50
DulakMagicJ: ctrl-c and start it again, sometimes you'll get a crappy mirror23:50
aciculayou want a prompt after ls is run?23:50
MagicJdulak, I did that twice - it gets no better - at 80 % now - will report back when done/tested - ty23:51
rdavilaacicula: yep, I need the same thing as when you execute the command on the terminal23:51
rdavilaI need to simulate a user executing the command and viewing the output23:51
aciculaim not entirely sure what it is you are trying to achieve23:52

computergeeksjwacicula: I'm trying to get the power button and username dropdown back23:53
computergeeksjwI think that is related to the error I got that said a module had crashed and was unloaded from the taskbar23:54

intraderAll, context menu of shell scripts does not offer 'Open' in 10.10. It does so in 9.04. In 10.04 shells scripts must be flagged as executable before the 'Open' context menu appears.
