[00:00] <Master> computergeeksjw: It wasnt stable for me either. The update icon crashed and some more things crashed but it was nice otherwise. I really like the new openoffice-3. 20 times faster load times.
[00:00] <acicula> serard going of memory doesnt postgresql have some (suid) tools for manipulating accounts etc
[00:00] <DroneWork> You here Dulac?
[00:00] <intrader> in 10.04 the properties tab of the context menu shows a dash in the executable checkbox and it does not offer the 'Open' context menu until the checkbox is checked.
[00:00] <serard> acicula: I got it on the ubuntu pages, thank you :)
[00:01] <DroneWork> Anyone here successfully use a cablecard tuner on their ubuntu box?
[00:01] <acicula> well i wouldnt call ti a succes, but i have used a tvtuner card yeah
[00:02] <DroneWork> cable card ability or no?
[00:02] <IdleOne> st__: Version 0.63.1ubuntu7
[00:02] <acicula> cable card? not sure what you mean, i used an analog tuner card
[00:02] <Master> DroneWork: Whats a "Cable card" .. descramler etc ?
[00:02] <Master> DroneWork: Whats a "Cable card" .. descrambler etc ?
[00:02] <acicula> not sure about the CI digital cards
[00:03] <nogo> it sould be dvb
[00:03] <DroneWork> Cablecard....allows your PC to pair with your cable provider and provide you cable channels directly to your PC
[00:03] <Dandan> Ok so i'm having problems with wireshark again any help
[00:03] <DroneWork> so yes, in a way it works like a descrambler
[00:03] <acicula> http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_PCI
[00:04] <acicula> dronework, theres two types, ones got an analog tuner, the other is a 'digital' sytem that needs a decoder card that looks like a credit card
[00:04] <DroneWork> yes I know
[00:04] <DroneWork> there are multi stream ones as well
[00:04] <acicula> yeah, but its not clear which one you are referring to
[00:04] <DroneWork> who uses analog these days?
[00:05] <acicula> the majority of the world populaton?
[00:05] <DroneWork> anyways, analog does not require a cablecard
[00:05] <nogo> i won't take this kind of cards
[00:05] <nogo> it's dangerous as a credit card
[00:06] <acicula> except the form factor these cards have nothing in common with credit card payment systems
[00:08] <acicula> anyway, if your provider allows you to use older CI interfaces then you can get it to work under linux provided your card is supported, with CI+ you cant

[00:13] <kermit> Flare183: stop: Unknown instance:

[00:13] <kermit> Flare183: oh, i have to be logged off X for that to work, i see

[00:21] <Wanabe> chrisbuntunerd: hit f2 (depending on the computer) when the computer is first booting up
[00:22] <chrisbuntunerd> wanabe: how will thay help
[00:22] <chrisbuntunerd> wanabe: how will that help
[00:22] <acicula> it'll give you a menu where you can select a safe mode option
[00:22] <Niglop> can some1 walk me through mounting my flash stick?

[00:23] <acicula> vista boots?
[00:23] <chrisbuntunerd> to when the cursor comes on
[00:23] <jrib> chrisbuntunerd: if you don't care about having ubuntu on it at this point (doesn't sound like you do), just ask ##windows how to restore the windows mbr
[00:23] <Flare183> Sound like a GRUB problem
[00:23] <chrisbuntunerd> jrib I want ubuntu
[00:23] <chrisbuntunerd> grub wont even turn on
[00:23] <jrib> chrisbuntunerd: wait, can you boot ubuntu?
[00:23] <Wanabe> f2 should pull up booting options
[00:23] <chrisbuntunerd> ok I will try back in a few
[00:24] <acicula> oh F2 is for grub, F8 for the windows boot menu?
[00:25] <Wanabe> acicula: depends on the computer brand, it might require a human sacrifice (HP)
[00:25] <acicula> chrisbuntunerd: no grub prompt may mean your vista installation is fine still, however, and this is probably important, go get the manual, and check you have recovery cd's, or how to make them (for windows).
[00:27] <chrisbuntunerd> but I still want programs and files
[00:28] <chrisbuntunerd> funkyhat?
[00:28] <Wanabe> You can recover the files in vista through Ubuntu
[00:29] <chrisbuntunerd> it this #ubuntu-unregged?
[00:29] <ElCerebr0> I'm using 10.04LTS sometimes my computer kind of freezes up and stops accepting mouse input, I can move the pointer around but cannot click on anything, right click usually brings up a menu but left click does nothing. I have compiz and awn running, are they to blame for this?
[00:29] <acicula> err you cant make recovery disk of vista from within ubuntu though, not if the data for that is stored on your harddrive
[00:29] <Wanabe> you can with mine
[00:30] <acicula> interesting laptop you have then, heh

[00:32] <ElCerebr0> I'm using 10.04LTS sometimes my computer kind of freezes up and stops accepting mouse input, I can move the pointer around but cannot click on anything, right click usually brings up a menu but left click does nothing. I have compiz and awn running, do you think they  are to blame for this?
[00:33] <acicula> chrisbuntunerd: you installed ubuntu, and now you cant boot ubuntu or windows, and you need to get windows to boot again because there is data on there?
[00:33] <acicula> or can you boot ubuntu for example
[00:33] <chrisbuntunerd> right
[00:33] <plitter> is there a way of making rhythmbox download more than 1 podcast at a time?
[00:33] <chrisbuntunerd> is funkyhat here
[00:34] <Wanabe> jrib: you fixed it!
[00:35]  * jrib is amazed when asking someone to pastebin a file fixes the issue
[00:35] <trond-> acicula, can't he then just set up grub/something to add vista as a boot option? I think I've read numerous articles on how to dualboot windows/ubuntu.
[00:35] <chrisbuntunerd> i have done that when grub worked it would not boot
[00:35] <Evil_Eric> im looking for the person who was helping me with my dvd issues
[00:35] <abstrakt> !bot abuse | jrib
[00:36] <chrisbuntunerd> vista I am screwed
[00:36] <jrib> abstrakt: -_-
[00:36]  * chrisbuntunerd kicks ms
[00:36] <abstrakt> Evil_Eric, how bout just ask about your dvd issues and see if someone knows
[00:36] <trism> plitter: podcasts in rhythmbox aren't really very configurable, might try gpodder, it allows you to configure the number of simultaneous downloads
[00:36] <Gnea> abstrakt: tsk tsk
[00:36] <Evil_Eric> ehhh i dont have dvd issues now and just wanted to say thanks to the guy
[00:36] <acicula> chrisbuntunerd: so you know what grub is, and when you select vista there ti will not boot?
[00:36] <abstrakt> Evil_Eric, oh ok, well then nevermind :)
[00:37] <chrisbuntunerd> right
[00:37] <acicula> (vista that is)
[00:37] <chrisbuntunerd> right
[00:37] <chrisbuntunerd> I wish we got beans for this
[00:37] <plitter> trism thanks:) will try gpodder:)
[00:37] <acicula> ok, after you select vista in the grub menu press F8
[00:37] <acicula> a few times, or F5, i forgot which one it was
[00:37] <acicula> it should give you another text menu
[00:37] <chrisbuntunerd> grub does not show up anymore
[00:38] <leif> acicula: F8 opens the windows boot menu
[00:38] <acicula> thanx
[00:38] <acicula> how is grub not showing up, what do you see when booting
[00:38] <chrisbuntunerd> I hate MS bot do not say anythin about !hate
[00:39] <chrisbuntunerd> well i tried windows repair thing and changed mbr
[00:40] <acicula> err ok, but what do you see when you are booting
[00:40] <acicula> when you turn the laptop on, what does happen
[00:41] <chrisbuntunerd> it tries to boot windows
[00:41] <chrisbuntunerd> then goes as far as the cursor
[00:41] <acicula> describe what you see, how can you tell it tries to boot windows?
[00:41] <chrisbuntunerd> then just hangs
[00:42] <chrisbuntunerd> I see the windows moving thing and then black then cursor
[00:42] <acicula> k, after the initial bios screen press F8 every other second or so.
[00:42] <leif> Normally grub would print out an error. I call fake
[00:42] <chrisbuntunerd> leif what do you meen
[00:43] <acicula> well if he fixed the mbr grub would npt get laoded anymore
[00:43] <chrisbuntunerd> leif: duh
[00:43] <h00k> !dualboot
[00:44] <leif> Sorry, didn't know he tried that already. But if you boot with a windows cd into repair mode and entered fixmbr \Device\HardDisk0 it should work
[00:44] <chrisbuntunerd> h00k: not helping
[00:45] <chrisbuntunerd> acicula:I have to leave in 15 mins can you help in ubuntu forums
[00:45] <chrisbuntunerd> acicula :I have to leave in 15 mins can you help in ubuntu forums
[00:45] <chrisbuntunerd> sigh....................
[00:45] <acicula> nope
[00:45] <almoxarife> chrisbuntunerd: was that a wubi install?
[00:46] <chrisbuntunerd> no
[00:46] <agentgasmask> HI. When doing a: sudo aptitude install unetbootin  - I got this, any help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/502933/
[00:47] <acicula> well im not sure why your windows isntallation is not working anymore, thats something for ##windows, but its not the mbr, since you describe windows starting. you can get grub back by booting an ubuntu livecd and reinstalling grub, i think the wiki covers that
[00:47] <aeon-ltd> acicula: just come back here., some one will know
[00:47] <aeon-ltd> chrisbuntunerd: see above
[00:47] <acicula> you'll want windows repair cd's or remaster disc even if you cant get windows fixed though
[00:47] <aeon-ltd> acicula: sorry wrong person
[00:47] <chrisbuntunerd> I am in big doodoo
[00:48] <chrisbuntunerd> depp
[00:48] <chrisbuntunerd> deap
[00:48] <agentgasmask> oh, nevermind. A simple sudo aptitude update fixed it. :)
[00:48] <LordDragon> hey all. im trying to configure my skype to output via a headset and input from the headset but without changing my whole system to use the headset as the primary sound device. the only option i get in skype is "pulse aidio (default)". is there a way i can get to select the headset?
[00:49] <sam555> if you change the smb.conf file, do you have to restart samba?
[00:49] <sam555> if so, how?
[00:49] <acicula> pa-devman lets you swap streams to different outputs
[00:50] <acicula> wait its called differntly, sec
[00:50] <acicula> padevchooser
[00:51] <leif> sam555: sudo service smbd restart would do the trick I guess
[00:51] <sam555> leif: thanks!
[00:51] <LordDragon> ok acicula i installed it. but skype still only allows "pulse audio server (local)"
[00:51] <LordDragon> how do i configure it to let me select headset?
[00:51] <acicula> to have it show up as a separate pulse audio output you'll have to add a sink, call it headset and add your headset to that sink
[00:52] <LordDragon> acicula, oh ok. where is the config for that? im hoping there is a gui?
[00:52] <sam555> leif: didn't work, says unrecognized servce
[00:52] <acicula> padevchooser, start it, its an applet
[00:52] <sam555> leif: and I don't see samba listed in init.d :(
[00:53] <leif> Which version of ubuntu do you use?
[00:53] <leif> otherwise sudo /etc/init.d/smdb restart could work
[00:54] <leif> Ups, if it isn't there I don't know.
[00:54] <sam555> leif: 9.04
[00:54] <sam555> leif: yeah, cause that was the one I was looking for, but didn't see it
[00:54] <chrisbuntunerd> !End-of-life
[00:55] <Emtsuj> I'm having a problem upgrading to 10.04. It wouldn't work via the Update Manager so I burned a disk. I booted up with the disk in, it got to the language selection, selected english, chose to install and then I see a flashing underscore for 10 seconds and then the screen goes black forever.
[00:55] <leif> sam555: Are you sure you have the samba server installed? Because in 9.04 you restart it over /etc/init.d/smbd
[00:56] <sam555> leif: i'm double checking.  there is the samba conf file and directory in /etc/ so I assumed it was installed
[00:56] <acicula> Emtsuj: what hardware do you have?
[00:56] <LordDragon> acicula, ok im in. and im in the manager. but i dont see a place to create a new sink
[00:56] <Emtsuj> I don't really know. 10.04 was installed before but it wouldn't boot. It got to the login, I heard stuff happening, hit enter, typed my password and logged in, but nothing appeared
[00:57] <sam555> leif: I'm just gonna install
[00:57] <leif> sam555: According to the following pace, that is the default way to restart samba. How about saving the conf in your home folder, purging and reinstalling samba?
[00:57] <leif> http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=889
[00:57] <chrisbuntunerd> acicula
[00:57] <Emtsuj> So it randomly stopped working. I re-installed 9.10, and now I'm using that. I'd rather have 10.04
[00:58] <kurt_> hi
[00:58] <acicula> LordDragon: under playback you can see the streams using your playback devices, and you can swap them to different outputs, under output devices i can switch between analog output and headphonse

[00:58] <kurt_> Can someone help me with a problem i have, im using Ubuntu 10.04 and cant seem to install the driver update for my nVidia Graphics card :(
[00:58] <Flare183> wow
[00:58] <acicula> i just fiddled a bit to see if i could define a sink via that program so you can set it up permanently, but i think it needs to be set via a configuration file afterall
[00:59] <wcs> hi people
[00:59] <kurt_> anyone ?
[00:59] <kurt_> the driver update file i have is a .run file
[00:59] <LordDragon> acicula, i dont see any option for that. manger has "server info, devices, clients, modules, sample chache"
[01:00] <DrDeeps> And I'm Emtsuj. Damned ethernet came unplugged
[01:00] <kurt_> i run it with sudo in terminal and get some message aobut havint to turn x off :s
[01:00] <kurt_> i turned off x in terminal to try and install the driver update again then my screen was just blank i couldnt do anything : /
[01:00]  * DrDeeps slaps Emtsuj around a bit with a large trout
[01:00] <acicula> LordDragon: click the applet and then volume control
[01:00] <DrDeeps> argh
[01:01] <kurt_> im new to linux so i dont know what to do but it seems like a lot of effort just to update my graphcis card driver : /
[01:01] <DrDeeps> damned thing
[01:01] <DrDeeps> lol
[01:01] <acicula> you can modify audiostreams and output devices there
[01:01] <FloodBot4> DrDeeps: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:02] <LordDragon> ok acicula.under playback i see vlc, songbird and tweetdeck. skype IS running bu tits not listed. also in playback they all say "alsa" is that the same as pulse audio?
[01:02] <acicula> kurt_: you said you have a problem with your nvidia driver
[01:02] <kurt_> yes
[01:02] <kurt_> i explained it
[01:02] <kurt_> then asked if someone can help lol
[01:02] <acicula> ah
[01:02] <acicula> dont use the .run files
[01:03] <acicula> ubuntu has its own installer for nvidia drivers
[01:03] <kurt_> then how do i updatemy nvidia driver ?
[01:03] <kurt_> oh
[01:03] <acicula> system -> administration -> hardware drivers
[01:03] <kurt_> becuase i used the nvidia website and it gave me a .run file which i dont know how to use :(
[01:03] <LjL> you don't. you use the driver from the repos, if updates come out for them they'll be installed automatically in due time
[01:03] <kurt_> ive tried system administration and hardware drivers... and it doesnt have an update button
[01:03] <LjL> don't aim to always have the latest version (of anything), because that generally makes no sense and can be very counter-productive.
[01:03] <kurt_> only says i am using the driver or something,  but im not using the updated version
[01:03] <LjL> kurt_: that's because the driver gets updated together with other packages by means of the package manager
[01:04] <kurt_> hmm
[01:04] <kurt_> im not sure how up to date i am though... i think my driver is a few versions behind... not just 1 version
[01:05] <uLinux> !magnetlinks
[01:05] <kurt_> and hardware drivers doesnt have an update button only lets me activate and deactivate drivers
[01:05] <acicula> you are running the latest version if your system is up to date
[01:05] <DrDeeps> that is so annoying
[01:05] <DrDeeps> I need a new ethernet cable...
[01:05] <drbutt> i installed the drivers from nvidia's site and rolledback to ubuntu's driver package, had better results.
[01:05] <acicula> the latest version that is suited for your curent system that is
[01:06] <kurt_> so the graphics driver will update with "Update Manager" ?
[01:06] <drbutt> yes.
[01:06] <LjL> kurt_: "apt-cache policy nvidia-glx" should tell you, although i'm not sure nvidia-glx is the correct package name these days
[01:06] <acicula> LordDragon: err skype should show up, try making a testcall and see if it shows up in the list
[01:06] <LjL> kurt_: yes. it's a package like all the rest of them.
[01:06] <DrDeeps> I'm having a problem upgrading to 10.04. It wouldn't work via the Update Manager so I burned a disk. I booted up with the disk in, it got to the language selection, selected english, chose to install and then I see a flashing underscore for 10 seconds and then the screen goes black forever. It was installed before but it stopped working. Sorry about reposting this again, my ethernet cable keeps
[01:06] <DrDeeps> coming un-done...
[01:07] <IdleOne> LjL: nvidia-current is the package name
[01:07] <kurt_> hmm ok
[01:07] <LjL> kurt_: ok, "apt-cache policy nvidia-current" then
[01:07] <LjL> kurt_: if "Installed" and "Candidate" match, then you're up to date
[01:07] <kurt_> ok what should that tell me
[01:07] <acicula> well there are a few legacy drivers too still, depending on which card you have?
[01:07] <kurt_> becuase it looks like i get blank results :s
[01:07] <drbutt> you can't install the nvidias-site drivers while in gnome anyway, you need to compile it in the termial. but like i said, i rolled back to the driver suite provided by ubuntu anyway.
[01:08] <kurt_> it says "Installed: (none)"
[01:08] <kurt_> "Candidate: (none)"
[01:08] <kurt_> "Version table:"
[01:08] <kurt_> does that mean i dont have an nvidia driver installed ? :s
[01:08] <IdleOne> kurt_: did you activate the driver in System > Admin > Hardware Drivers?
[01:08] <kurt_> yes
[01:09] <LordDragon> acicula, nope nothing. it just says "problem with audio" in skype
[01:09] <acicula> ah
[01:09] <ceil420> kurt_: that means one isn't even available :o by that package name, anyway. "candidate" means what's in the repos
[01:09] <lsrline> I'm trying to get help with Inkscape, but when i say something in the #inkscape channel it says cannot send to channel.
[01:09] <acicula> is skype trying to use the sound daemon or oss or alsa directly?
[01:09] <kurt_> so is my graphics not working right now ? :s
[01:09] <drbutt> isr: is the channel +m?
[01:10] <coz_> lsrline,   what issue are you having with inkscape/
[01:10] <kurt_> because if i look in hardware drivers, it says "this driver is activated and currently in use" but aparently "apt-cache policy nvidia-glx" says otherwise
[01:10] <LjL> !register | lsrline
[01:10] <acicula> kurt_: what model card do you have
[01:11] <IdleOne> kurt_: what is the output of: lspci | grep VGA
[01:11] <acicula> that works too
[01:11] <kurt_> a GeForce 9800 GT
[01:11] <lsrline> coz_: I'm trying to make text and object, so that you can manipulate each letter
[01:11] <acicula> apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-legacy
[01:11] <acicula> or something to that extend
[01:11] <kurt_> the ouput is "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2)"
[01:12] <acicula> oh its numbered
[01:12] <kurt_> ?
[01:12] <acicula> there are a number of different nvidia drivers that are used depending on your cards age
[01:12] <coz_> lsrline,   ok so you have an object and a line of text right now ...yes?
[01:13] <kurt_> so what am i meant to do to make sure i have the right driver installed and activated ? :s
[01:13] <Emtsuj> I'm having a problem upgrading to 10.04. It wouldn't work via the Update Manager so I burned a disk. I booted up with the disk in, it got to the language selection, selected english, chose to install and then I see a flashing underscore for 10 seconds and then the screen goes black forever. It was installed before but it stopped working. sorry to repost again...
[01:13] <acicula> nothing, the system figures out which one is right for you and activates it
[01:13] <coz_> lsrline,   with the text did you higlight the text then  Path /  Object to path
[01:13] <lsrline> coz_: yeah I just have text entered in and I want to be able to convert that text into an object, so that you no longer need the font associated with the text
[01:13] <kurt_> so is my driver working properly or not right now ? :s
[01:13] <acicula> since its listed as activated its working (or you'd not have a working graphical interface)
[01:14] <acicula> yeah it is
[01:14] <coz_> lsrline,  ok that's what you do ...highlight the text  go to  Path / Object to path
[01:14] <kurt_> hmm ok
[01:14] <kurt_> and soon the update will be in the "Update Manager" right ?
[01:14] <acicula> no
[01:14] <kurt_> for the newer driver
[01:14] <kurt_> oh xD
[01:14] <coz_> lsrline,  then you do not have to have that specialized text on another system for it to be rendered properly
[01:14] <acicula> probably never, sec ill dig it up
[01:15] <lsrline> coz_: sweet thanks...
[01:15] <coz_> lsrline,  would you like an example  to be sure?
[01:15] <jrenner> hey everyone I'm having an issue with playing a video. in particular an ogv file with ogg theora video and vorbis audio. the audio works fine but I'm getting no video
[01:15] <kurt_> :s but updates are released for a reason :s i mean reading the update notes it fixes a few bugs that are apparently current with the driver i have now
[01:16] <acicula> nvidia posts drivers here http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[01:16] <acicula> if you look there you see the latest driver for linux is http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-256.53-driver.html
[01:16] <acicula> now check which gpus those drivers support
[01:16] <h00k> !nvidia
[01:16] <lsrline> coz_: nah, that's okay I got what I needed.. thanks again... for whatever reason when I was adjusting the kerning on the text it would chop off part of the letters on top, but making it an object (which i needed to do anyway) fixes it
[01:16] <stiltzkin> hey guys, hoping you can help me with something. I have an (apparently infamous) issue wherein ksoftirqd consumes 100% of my cpu
[01:17] <jrenner> hey everyone I'm having an issue with playing a video. in particular an ogv file with ogg theora video and vorbis audio. the audio works fine but I'm getting no video
[01:17] <acicula> interesting, its still listed there
[01:17] <coz_> lsrline,  oh yeah   that is way different procedure :)
[01:17] <kurt_> well my driver version i have now
[01:17] <kurt_> isnt even on that list :s whats going on lol xD
[01:17] <stiltzkin> output of dmesg | tail shows lots of messages like sr 1:0:0:0: timing out command, waited 120s
[01:17] <stiltzkin> wat do?
[01:18] <coz_> lsrline,  and actually you are making the object into a path  not the other way around
[01:18] <stiltzkin> Can't kill the process, it just respawns immediately
[01:18] <jrenner> uninstall?
[01:19] <stiltzkin> Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? For reference, I'm running 2.6.35-22
[01:19] <vistro> why am I getting 'Daemon is inhibited' when mounting an EXT3 FS?
[01:19] <kurt_> how do i see what driver version i have installed for my nVidia then ? becuase i think im looking in the wrong place
[01:19] <acicula> kurt_: no it appears a 9800 isnt legacy, i thought it would be, but that driver lsits it as supported still
[01:20] <jrenner> hey everyone I'm having an issue with playing a video. in particular an ogv file with ogg theora video and vorbis audio. the audio works fine but I'm getting no video. however if I play through chromium the built-in codecs there read the video fine
[01:20] <kurt_> hmm
[01:20] <acicula> kurt_: not sure, its still not a good idea to try the unpackaged driver though
[01:20] <stiltzkin> This is really very frustrating. It's eating all my resources and there's no way to stop it
[01:20] <kurt_> howcome ? :s
[01:21] <jrenner> stiltzkin. just uninstall?
[01:21] <kurt_> would nvidia really tell me there is an update to my driver which fixes some bugs if it wasnt gonna work properly ? : /
[01:21] <stiltzkin> jrenner, just installed lol
[01:21] <indecipherable> ati graphics card?
[01:21] <acicula> sec, just checking version numbering
[01:21] <indecipherable> oh nvm nvidea
[01:21] <acicula> the new 10.10 ubuntu uses the newer 253 driver
[01:21] <kurt_> ok
[01:21] <jrenner> stiltzkin what program is it again?
[01:21] <acicula> so it looks like nvidia just pulled a bumpgate on the driver?
[01:22] <kurt_> im using 10.04
[01:22] <stiltzkin> jrenner, ksoftirqd, it's apparently a low level device thing
[01:22] <uLinux> Is there a command to remove a PPA?
[01:22] <v1zo> anyone has advice on redirecting bind through tor? haven't found anything at google
[01:22] <vistro> Disregard that I suck cocks...
[01:22] <acicula> kurt_: yeah stick with that, and upgrade to 10.10 if you need some of the features or must have the newer nvidia driver
[01:23] <kurt_> what new features does 10.10 have then ?
[01:23] <kurt_> that i wont have now in 10.04
[01:23] <jrenner> stiltzkin: try upgrading kernel "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[01:23] <stiltzkin> v1zo, install torsocks. then you can just use the "usewithtor" command
[01:23] <stiltzkin> jrenner, running updates right now actually...and praying
[01:23] <kurt_> cus im not up for formatting my computer right now lol :P
[01:23] <acicula> kurt_: dunno updated software and drivers :)
[01:23] <coz_> kurt_,  http://blog.mypapit.net/2010/09/new-features-and-changes-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick.html
[01:23] <kurt_> thanks
[01:24] <v1zo> stiltzkin: thanks a lot
[01:24] <acicula> you can just do inplace uprgades, dont need to nuke existing isntalls
[01:24] <stiltzkin> v1zo, np
[01:24] <coz_> kurt_,   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMovies
[01:24] <jrenner> okay does anyone have some codec knowledge for me?
[01:24] <rmrfslash> 10.10 will come with 3D glasses and won't be displayed on a "traditional" display. Rather, it will be sent directly into your occipital cortex over TCP.
[01:24] <stiltzkin> rmrfslash, but can it play Crysis?
[01:24] <rmrfslash> no, that was the only regression bug
[01:25] <stiltzkin> dammit.
[01:25] <kurt_> so will i ever get nvidia driver updates in 10.04 using update manager ? :s
[01:25] <kurt_> im confused now
[01:25] <acicula> kurt_: i doubt it
[01:25] <jrenner> stiltzkin: if you did any updating be sure to reboot
[01:25] <kurt_> and why dont nvidia give me an easier way to install the driver : /
[01:25] <Ugly_Duck> can i upgrade my sources.list for debian to include lucid packages or will that totally break my system?
[01:25] <kurt_> instead of giving me some .run file with a stupid complicated way to run it
[01:25] <coz_> kurt_,  unlikely but you could use the ppa for new drivers
[01:25] <acicula> kurt_: it will require a backport of the newer driver to 10.04
[01:25] <kurt_> i dont know how to do it :(
[01:25] <stiltzkin> jrenner, absolutely. it's taking forever because it's using an entire core of my CPU
[01:25] <kurt_> ppa ?
[01:26] <acicula> kurt_: well its not stupidly complicated, but it may require software not rpesent on your sytem, or may be altogether incompatible with your Xserver, etc
[01:26] <coz_> kurt_,    https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[01:26] <kurt_> well it tells me i have to stop x server or soemthing to install it
[01:26] <coz_> kurt_,  the driver there is the 260.19.06
[01:26] <kurt_> i stop x server...then my screen is blank wtf ....
[01:26] <rmrfslash> kurt_: the run file isn't that big of a deal, is it? are you saying this because you need to stop the X server to install it (agreed, that's annoying)?
[01:26] <jrenner> stiltzkin: its a little hackish but "while [ 1==1 ]; do killall ksoftirqd; done;"
[01:26] <stiltzkin> jrenner, I'm a little worried about hardware problems with this as well, my CPU has to be lava hot right now, and the fan is kicking
[01:26] <danc3> kurt_: it's "hard" to run a .run file?
[01:27] <kurt_> well like i said im new to linux
[01:27] <kurt_> and i cant get my updated driver to install cus i dont know what to do once i stop x server
[01:27] <kandinski> hi
[01:27] <danc3> kurt_: did you read the instructions there on the Nvidia driver page?
[01:27] <Ugly_Duck> acicula: any ideas?
[01:27] <h00k> kurt_: did you check the documentation on !nvidia
[01:27] <h00k> !nvidia > kurt_
[01:27] <danc3> sheesh
[01:28] <kurt_> it didnt give me any, just gave me the download
[01:28] <danc3> kurt_: look again
[01:28] <rmrfslash> kurt_: you're unlikely to get sympathy here anyways when it comes to restricted drivers... from experience
[01:28] <jrenner> stiltzkin: are you overclocked or is your comp pressed up a against a wall or buried in the ground? if not you _should_ be okay....
[01:28] <acicula> Ugly_Duck: no you cant mix debian and ubuntu
[01:28] <stiltzkin> jrenner, I don't think even that will keep it down. It spawns new processes as soon as they're killed. Killing all of them will probably use about as many resources
[01:28] <kurt_> what you mean ?
[01:28] <NOMADICUS> How do I reload the fstab?
[01:28] <coz_> kurt_,   that ppa should work since that driver is slightly better than the nvidia_current offered in lucid
[01:28] <kurt_> i dont want sympathy just wanted to know if i could get some help
[01:28] <jrenner> stiltzkin: prolly right.... but a while loop of killing is always fun right? :P
[01:29] <acicula> yeah id stick with the ppa if you must fiddle with the drivers
[01:29] <coz_> kurt_,   I have used that driver with fewer difficulties
[01:29] <acicula> .run files is just asking for gamebreaking stuff
[01:29] <kurt_> the 260.19.06 ?
[01:29] <stiltzkin> jrenner, yeah I suppose lol. I'm just frustrated that I couldn't find any definitive answer for what causes this. Dates back to 2004 but no one has a real paper trail on it
[01:29] <jrenner> haha I'm pretty sure kernel upgrades should solve your problem
[01:30] <danc3> kurt_: you couldn't read this file, right there on the Nvidia driver page:  http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/256.53/README/installdriver.html
[01:30] <kandinski> I have a working Ubuntu Maverick install that's terminal-only. I installed ubuntu-gnome and nvidia-current with all the dependencies and then did a sudo nvidia-xconfig, but when I try to sudo startx it says it can't find the nvidia module, what do I need to do next?
[01:30] <stiltzkin> jrenner, I mean most people just said stuff along the lines of "it has something to do with the wireless drivers; just reinstall"
[01:30] <scgtrp> just installed kubuntu, is there any way to get a newer kernel than what comes with it besides compiling it myself? 2.6.34 (35?) had a patch that made acpi work on my laptop
[01:30] <coz_> kurt_,   yeah as long as you install it via that ppa... I would not suggest using the official driver ONLY because lucid makes it so you have to jump through a few hoops to get it installed
[01:30] <h00k> !maverick | kandinski
[01:30] <kandinski> oh right, thanks h00k
[01:30] <jrenner> stiltzkin: that might be a good idea if upgrading doesn't work
[01:30] <coz_> kurt_,  so enable that ppa  and do an update and it should install automatically
[01:30] <acicula> scgtrp: bacports, ppa, compiling it yourself, that pretty much summs it up?
[01:30] <kurt_> well no, i just clicked on driver downloads and chose my card etc didnt notice anywhere in them steps a "how to install" : / i was expecting it would be easier
[01:31] <scgtrp> acicula: backports? where?
[01:31] <scgtrp> (also what's ppa?)
[01:31] <rmrfslash> scgtrp: personal packages archive
[01:31] <stiltzkin> jrenner, don't see what it'll solve though, because inevitably the same wireless drivers and ksoftirqd daemon will get installed next time
[01:31] <kurt_> ok ill try the ppa, thanks coz_
[01:31] <acicula> personal package archive, from other people or projects
[01:31] <danc3> kurt_: slow down and pay attention to what you're doing
[01:31] <h00k> !ppa | scgtrp
[01:31] <tombaugh> books have been written about this but I still don't get it... I'm following an introductory linux course and one assignment question is how to "enable the root account"... some are suggesting "sudo su-" but doesn't that merely give you some root privileges, as the root account is still disabled? but if so, what's the difference? if it is not "real" root, is there a way to demonstrate that?
[01:31] <coz_> scgtrp,   Personal Package Archive   I believe
[01:31] <scgtrp> installing firefox, will take a look in a few
[01:31] <coz_> ok I am off for the night  ...clean install time :)
[01:32] <acicula> scgtrp: unless you need feature xyz its ussually not worth the hassle transplanting kernels
[01:32] <dwxreaper> I always just enable it
[01:32] <h00k> !root | tombaugh this article explains it.  Note, it's not officially supported if you do enable the root account
[01:32] <scgtrp> acicula: i kinda do, i can't boot with acpi enabled and my laptop gets ridiculously hot :(
[01:32] <jrenner> stiltzkin: true but installs aren't infallible. its sorta a last ditch effort.
[01:32] <rmrfslash> tombaugh: I never enable root... sudo su to become root user but I've never set the root password
[01:32] <acicula> scgtrp: fan control ussually is a bios thing i think?
[01:32] <acicula> on laptops that is
[01:32] <jrenner> sudo -s works too
[01:33] <scgtrp> acicula: yeah, my bios is really screwed up and switches out some important tables halfway through boot which makes linux explode
[01:33] <plitter> Why cant i get to download the rest of my podcast (have 200) in gpodder even when i set the setting for 900? Theres supposed to be at least 380 episodes in that podcast....
[01:33] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Does anyone have any experience running Conky? I installed it from the Ubuntu repositories, but I have no idea how to start/run/configure it.
[01:33] <acicula> ic and the fix is in a newer kernel?, dunno which ppa you need but thats where you need to look for a kernel
[01:33] <scgtrp> acicula: yeah, reported it to the linux people and it was patched over in .34 or .35 (can't remember which)
[01:35] <xcaliber> Hello All.........
[01:35] <acicula> ah
[01:37] <acicula> scgtrp: alternatively, 10.10 beta uses .35 by default
[01:37] <acicula> it looks like anyway
[01:37] <rmrfslash> will ubuntu 10.10 come with vga-switcheroo or whatever it's called for hybrid graphics laptops?
[01:37] <h00k> !maverick | rmrfslash
[01:38] <acicula> i havent heard of that working on linux
[01:38] <scgtrp> acicula: ubuntu doesn't require a full reinstall to upgrade, right? i remember some distro doing that and thinking it was a horrible idea
[01:38] <acicula> https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa appears to be the kernel ppa
[01:38] <scgtrp> yeah, found it
[01:38] <acicula> scgtrp: inpalce upgrades (should) work
[01:38] <acicula> *inplace
[01:38] <scgtrp> alright then
[01:39] <weekly> question: what does the little arrow on the bottom left of my floders in gnome
[01:39] <weekly> on the icon
[01:39] <ldskfj> Ubuntu .bashrc as complete as KUbuntu's?: - Am I not seeing something important?  the Ubuntu's system .bashrc is no where near as complete as the KUbuntu system: ex, 2 specifics: 1) aliases, 2) prompt colors.   -  Is there a more complete set of settings available to easily be installed/added/usedWith the Ubuntu system?  Where & how can I get that, for adding into my Ubuntu system?
[01:39] <weekly> does it mean that it (the "folder") is actually a link to another physical location?
[01:40] <acicula> ldskfj: sure its not overwritten somehow?
[01:40] <mattgyver> weekly, yeah its a symlink
[01:41] <mattgyver> weekly, oh wait mine is on the bottom right, yours is on the left?
[01:42] <weekly> mattgyver, no no your right
[01:42] <ernie> need help on import of mbox into claws mail from the ubuntu repo.  Thunderbird properly imports the mbox but claws mail does not.  I have the mbox plugin install
[01:42] <weekly> its on the bottom right
[01:42] <mattgyver> weekly, oh okay, your other left cool :)
[01:43] <weekly> mattgyver, is their an easy way to manage the links? right clicking doesnt give me much in the proerties department
[01:43] <acicula> scgtrp: i forgot to add, 10.10 is still beta, stuff breaks, so ymmv
[01:43] <ldskfj> acicula - how would I know the answer to that?  This is a computer lab computer, with a new account, which I didn't set up.  It has a small .baxhrc, 745 bytes, so my presumption is that is the standard .bashrc.  Is the standard Ub .bashrc different fro that, 745 bytes?
[01:43] <mattgyver> weekly, not really that i can tell without just editing it from the command line
[01:44] <Phantom11121> I installed ubuntu 10.04 and with my wireless N card i see the network, but it would not connect
[01:45] <weekly> mattgyver, is their a command that i can --help to look at managing them?
[01:45] <acicula> well .bashrc is a clone from either a default bashrc or a bashrc setup by your sysadmin
[01:45] <mattgyver> weekly, check out; man ln
[01:45] <rmrfslash> Phantom11121: do you recieve an IP?
[01:45] <rmrfslash> ... address?
[01:46] <DarkRedman> Hi :)
[01:46] <Phantom11121> rmrfslash no, nothing it keeps asking to reenter the passcode
[01:46] <Phantom11121> rmrfslash or the webkey
[01:46] <jrenner> hey everyone I'm having an issue with playing a video. in particular an ogv file with ogg theora video and vorbis audio. the audio works fine but I'm getting no video. however if I play through chromium the built-in codecs there read the video fine
[01:46] <rmrfslash> try the Hex Key option
[01:47] <rmrfslash> Sorry, Ascii
[01:47] <Phantom11121> rmrfslash ascii, well the passcode are just numbers, does that make a difference?
[01:48] <acicula> jrenner: what video player are you using?
[01:48] <n0a1ias> whats the channel for compiz fusion help?
[01:48] <DarkRedman> I've made a USB Key, but my BIOS don't detect it, should I specify LBA flag ?!
[01:48] <abstrakt> n0a1ias, #screwyourmachine I think
[01:48] <jrenner> I've tried totem, mplayer, and vlc
[01:48] <n0a1ias> abstrakt, ha ha ha, but really
[01:48] <acicula> DarkRedman: not unless its from the stoneage
[01:48] <rmrfslash> Phantom11121: sure man, numbers can be in ascii... worth a try
[01:48] <Phantom11121> will try it, ty
[01:49] <DarkRedman> so why my BIOS couldn't detect it ?!
[01:49] <acicula> DarkRedman: check your bios for support for usb booting
[01:49] <jrenner> *acicula: I've tried totem, mplayer, and vlc
[01:49] <acicula> DarkRedman: what hardware?
[01:49] <DarkRedman> I've already did with another usb key it works
[01:49] <acicula> jrenner: none of those give video but all give audio?
[01:49] <DarkRedman> AMI Bios MSI/Nvidia Card
[01:49] <jrenner> yup
[01:49] <DarkRedman> but it worked with another Ubuntu OS but not the last
[01:49] <acicula> DarkRedman: cpu/chipset
[01:49] <DarkRedman> Phenom II X 2,5GHz
[01:49] <cjae> Add VNC to rc.local                sudo vim /etc/rc.local                /usr/bin/vncserver -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24              doesnt start in ubuntuserver10.04 ?
[01:50] <acicula> not the harrdware then, check your usb stick and make sure its bootable?
[01:50] <ubuntu> I think my HD might be done for.  Anyone recommend a way to tell for sure?
[01:50] <DarkRedman> Should I do a pastbin of lspci ?
[01:50] <DarkRedman> It's bootable
[01:51] <acicula> DarkRedman: its the usb stick thats improperly initialized, or your bios is not setup to boot from the stick. Rebuild the boot stick, change the boot order in your bios or use the boot device selection key when the system is posting to select the usb stick
[01:51] <jrenner> acicula: yes. and mplayer gives me some interesting output
[01:51] <jrenner> acicula: VIDEO:  [theo]  720x480  24bpp  29.970 fps    0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s)
[01:51] <DarkRedman> I did it with unetbootin and even gtk-usb-creator
[01:51] <mattgyver> ubuntu, best way to determine is with the vendors utility they normally have tests it can perform.  If you suspect its bad salvage whatever data you can asap.
[01:51] <acicula> jrenner: well vlc, totem and vlc use different backends
[01:51] <robert83a2> hello, I'm runing ubuntu (no idea which version) I just tried to install postfix (instead of exim4) but I keep getting this error : http://www.pastebin.ca/1951492 HELP :)
[01:51] <acicula> well im sure they all use the same theora lib in the end actually
[01:52] <acicula> but different wrapeprs for ti
[01:52] <ubuntu> mattgyver:  maybe too late. :(.  I can see the disk in pampliset (using a live CD)  but I can do any operations on it.
[01:52] <tripelb> I got an update notice today, After I clicked on do updates I get a window that tells me they cant be authenticated. What's up?
[01:52] <acicula> does totem not complain about a missing codec?
[01:52] <DarkRedman> acicula: does usb-gtk-creator is enough to remake my USB stick ?!
[01:53] <acicula> DarkRedman: err that or unetbootin should let you create a proper boot stick
[01:53] <jrenner> acicula: mhmm but that 0kbps is bothering me
[01:53] <acicula> yup
[01:53] <ubuntu> mattgyver: but gparted can't see it at all? wtf?
[01:53] <mattgyver> ubuntu, you could try doing a fsck on the drive but I dont know if thats gonna help you too much, dont do it while the drive is mounted though
[01:53] <acicula> jrenner: malformed video eprhaps?
[01:54] <ubuntu> none of the partitions will mount. and fdisk -l /dev/sda returns a blank line.  I'll see if fsck knows something I don't
[01:54] <mattgyver> ubuntu, most dead drives ive seen dont show up in gparted, sometimes you can repair those disks with the vendors utility or the tools on systemrescuecd
[01:54] <xomp> is the cURL for apache2 in ubuntu just hopelessly busted?
[01:54] <jrenner> acicula: yes but I can play the video in chromium and I could also play it on a previous installation of ubuntu
[01:54] <mattgyver> ubuntu, does blkid show anything for the drive?
[01:55] <acicula> yeah but chromium uses the same system libs as totem & co do
[01:56] <acicula> which makes it kind of weird
[01:56] <ubuntu> not listed in blkid
[01:56] <mattgyver> ubuntu, what brand drive is it?
[01:56] <acicula> if the disk is really on its last legs, a bucket and dry ice may give you the time to grab the data off the disk with dd?
[01:57] <ubuntu> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/FNJ4ddEq
[01:57] <madjoe> any db design tool you would recommend for mysql?
[01:57] <madjoe> anyone?
[01:57] <ubuntu> it is a seagate drive.
[01:58] <acicula> phpmysql ?
[01:58] <madjoe> acicula: link?
[01:58] <acicula> jrenner: i cant really come up with a logical reason as to why that video works in chromium but not in the others
[01:58] <acicula> err phpmyadmin even
[01:59] <acicula> just type it into your adressbar and itll take you there
[01:59] <acicula> jrenner: as at least some of those programs use the same libraries for decoding, vlc may have its own
[01:59] <madjoe> phpmyadmin is a pile of crap, I need something more advanced
[01:59] <ubuntu> madjoe: phpmyadmin works for what I need (simple db stuff)
[01:59] <ubuntu> lol, sorry got that message
[02:00] <robert83a2> how is one supposed to remove EXIM4 on Ubuntu
[02:00] <robert83a2> something is quiet buggy here
[02:00] <acicula> heu what do you need then
[02:00] <cjae> nobody?
[02:00] <greppy> madjoe: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
[02:01] <fridgerator> what happens if i remove pulseaudio?  im running 10.04 and when playing games through wine the audio stops working after about 5 seconds
[02:01] <madjoe> ubuntu: I'm using MySQL Workbench now, it's ok, but it's crashing here and there... and it's not as good as running queries within my console... some advanced stored procedures can crash Workbench easily...
[02:01] <madjoe> greppy: ^^
[02:01] <jrenner> I may just re-rip it...
[02:01] <acicula> fridgerator: you will have to set programs to use another sound output
[02:01] <greppy> madjoe: ah, I do all of my db design in vi :)
[02:02] <robert83a2> YEAH succes :))
[02:02] <acicula> its possible, and theres probably a few guides on it too
[02:02] <madjoe> greppy: because you're a real man, and I'm a pussy ;)
[02:02] <madjoe> lol
[02:02] <sweeze> are deskbar-applet and eclipse installable in maverick?  update-manager -d wants to remove them on upgrade, but if they're reinstallable after upgrade, that's fine w/ me
[02:03] <madjoe> greppy: I like to run my queries in my console window, but sometimes it's easier to have GUI
[02:03] <acicula> is there something similar like workbench for postgresql?
[02:03] <fridgerator> does anyone know if mint uses pulseaudio as well?
[02:04] <madjoe> acicula: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Community_Guide_to_PostgreSQL_GUI_Tools
[02:05] <xangua> !mint | i suppose yes fridgerator, for mint support ;)
[02:05] <acicula> thats a lotta tools
[02:05] <acicula> thanx
[02:06] <madjoe> ;)
[02:11] <SeanInSeattle> Hey all.  I'm getting this error message on my new web server (vps):  <my username>  is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[02:12] <greppy> SeanInSeattle: you need to run "sudo visudo" as a user that can use sudo.  "man sudoers" will have info on syntax
[02:13] <SeanInSeattle> greppy:  I see a text edit with /etc/sudoers loaded.  What edits should I be making?
[02:14] <ubuntu> thanks for the advice everyone else.
[02:14] <Dulak> SeanInSeattle: exit that and just add your user to the admin group for sudo access: sudo adduser username admin
[02:15] <SeanInSeattle> greppy:  but I don't see an admin group listed in the sudoers group.
[02:15] <Dulak> SeanInSeattle: have to do that as a user that has sudo access, and you'll have to relog the user you added to the admin group for it to take affect
[02:15] <Dulak> SeanInSeattle: you are on ubuntu?
[02:16] <coshx> I'm debugging an upstart script, and it seems frozen when I all "sudo start myjob" or "sudo stop myjob" -- I can ctrl+c out of it, but have to reboot for it to stop freezing. ls -lrt in /var/log shows auth.log is most recently updated. any ideas?
[02:16] <SeanInSeattle> yes.  I'm on ubuntu 10.04, but its all commandline through ssh on my web server.
[02:17] <greppy> SeanInSeattle: do you have another user on the system?
[02:17] <SeanInSeattle> greppy:  Yes, I've got the root user.
[02:18] <greppy> SeanInSeattle: so log in as root and do the adduser username admin
[02:19] <SeanInSeattle> greppy:  though I don't have an "admin" group on the system.
[02:19] <SeanInSeattle> greppy:  it says that I don't have an "admin" group on the system.
[02:20] <Dulak> SeanInSeattle: you aren't in ubuntu then
[02:20] <mattgyver> SeanInSeattle, open /etc/sudoers in an editor, in the#user privelage specification duplicate the root line and change root to user
[02:21] <tripelb> I got an update notice today, After I clicked on do updates I get a window that tells me they cant be authenticated. What's up?
[02:21] <Dulak> SeanInSeattle: ubuntu uses the admin group for sudo access, and you don't have one.  I suggest you get support from the appropriate distro support channel.
[02:21] <Artemis3> tripelb, did you try changing repository mirror?
[02:21] <tripelb> Should I update if it says "NOT  AUTHENTICATED" ? 10.04
[02:21] <kiss1> hello why we cant use a full login theme on ubuntu 10.4 ?
[02:22] <kiss1> like we were able to do in other older versions ?
[02:22] <tripelb> Artemis3, I know nothing about repository mirror.
[02:22] <SeanInSeattle> mattgyver:  Did that.  Now try logging inas the lower priv'd user and try sudo-ing?
[02:22] <greppy> Dulak: he could be in ubuntu, it's a vps, perhaps the provider tweaked it.
[02:22] <SeanInSeattle> greppy, exactly.
[02:22] <mattgyver> SeanInSeattle, yeah give it a whirl and see if it works for you
[02:22] <SeanInSeattle> its slicehost.
[02:22] <kiss1> hello why we cant use a full login theme on ubuntu 10.4 ?
[02:22] <kiss1> like we were able to do in other older versions ?
[02:22] <SeanInSeattle> Thanks guys, gotta head out.  I appreciate it.
[02:22] <SeanInSeattle> exit
[02:23] <Artemis3> tripelb, i suggest you pick another mirror and try again... System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[02:23] <Dulak> greppy: no, I'd bet money it's debian and not ubuntu.
[02:23] <mattgyver> kiss1, because GDM 2.30+  doesnt support that kind of theming
[02:23] <kiss1> so that mean we cant use a full login screen theme ?
[02:23] <Artemis3> tripelb, just cancel update manager for now
[02:24] <mattgyver> kiss1, view the post I just linked you, the PDF explains ways to theme it if you want to but its not as easy as before
[02:25] <tripelb> Artemis3, what is "unsupported updates (lucid-backports) "  that I have checked by default?
[02:25] <mattgyver> kiss1, I pm'd you the link i forgot to say that ;)
[02:25] <greppy> Dulak: I was going to have him run "lsb_release -d" to find out :)
[02:25] <Artemis3> tripelb, thats ok, you can leave that enabled
[02:26] <sam555> is there an equivalent drive image program for Ubuntu like this one http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm?
[02:26] <lunks> Is there anything similar to Rainlendar for Gnome?
[02:26] <Artemis3> tripelb, just avoid "proposed" ^^
[02:26] <Braber01> Can sombody explain !addfact to me? Im looking  at the documentation and I don't quite understand it.
[02:27] <mattgyver> sam555, if your looking for a good imaging tool use clonezilla
[02:27] <tripelb> Artemis3, that's the same thing as the advanced button in the software updates window. It says nothing about mirrors. I'm afraid I dont know what to do.
[02:27] <Artemis3> tripelb, first tab
[02:27] <sam555> mattgyver: thanks!
[02:27] <xangua> yes, railendar lunks ...
[02:27] <Artemis3> tripelb, "download from" or something like that
[02:27] <Braber01> !addfact
[02:28] <Braber01> !pong is <reply> ping
[02:28] <rlankfo> i'm having a hard time removing a package with dpkg, how can i force remove?
[02:28] <greppy> rlankfo: what error are you getting?
[02:29] <lunks> xangua, I actually want an alternative for rainlendar :P
[02:29] <DarkRedman> Hi I've a big problem to boot on my USB Live Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 ! My AMIBIOS couldn't find it !
[02:29] <lunks> xangua, rainlendar didn't work at all here
[02:29] <tripelb>  Artemis3 OK there are a list of servers. I've got UNITED STATES highlighted now but/and there are many listed under US
[02:29] <Artemis3> tripelb, just pick another
[02:29] <xangua> lunks: then just use gnome's calendar applet
[02:29] <rlankfo> greppy: one second
[02:30] <tripelb> Artemis3,  now since I chose Texas in Austin it's downloading package information.
[02:30] <lunks> xangua, gnome calendar widget is not ideal for me. I just want similar rainlendar functionality
[02:31] <tripelb> Artemis3, Details show me that a lot of packages failed but they seem to all be called "Translation-en_US...
[02:31] <DarkRedman> Who could help me ?
[02:31] <tripelb> still working 99 of 106
[02:32] <Guest59275> hello everyone
[02:32] <tripelb> Artemis3,  it's still working. What is it that I am doing now? It is still working 99 of 106.. 103 of 107 now. huh? number changes.
[02:32] <mattgyver> DarkRedman, does it even get to the 'try ubuntu' screen?
[02:32] <rlankfo> greppy: http://pastebin.com/mqD03hnS
[02:33] <tripelb> Artemis3, now it's 105 of 115
[02:33] <Guest59275> how do i change my name?
[02:33] <DarkRedman> mattgyver: not at all
[02:33] <Artemis3> tripelb, don't worry, let it finish
[02:33] <Braber01> !nick > Guest59275
[02:33] <DarkRedman> it only works for the LiveCD
[02:33]  * tripelb goes away for a few minutes. Wonders how to change the TIMEPERIOD till it goes back to the loginscreen. 
[02:34] <mattgyver> hmmm, does your bios support loading from USB drives, if its a USB 1 do you have legacy USB support enabled?
[02:34] <DarkRedman> I've legacy Support enabled
[02:34] <DarkRedman> It already worked with one Ubuntu LiveUSB but since I reseted it I changed options but nothing works
[02:35] <greppy> rlankfo: what does "hostname -f" output?
[02:35] <Dulak> tripelb: if you mean the time before the screen is locked: System->Preferences->Screensaver  there is a slider that controls how long, and also whether to lock the screen.
[02:35] <mattgyver> What do you mean by reset it?  Did you reformat the drive once already?
[02:36] <Braber01> what are good !factoids to rember?
[02:36] <rlankfo> greppy: Name or service not known.
[02:36] <DarkRedman> yes the USB drive
[02:36] <DarkRedman> with FAT32 type
[02:36] <greppy> rlankfo: there's your problem
[02:37] <DarkRedman> I used usb-gtk-creator with an official iso from ubuntu.com with a good MD5 checksum
[02:38] <rlankfo> greppy: thanks, waiting on host records to update :P
[02:38] <mattgyver> DarkRedman, im not sure off hand why it wouldnt load then, sounds like your setup right
[02:38] <Braber01> !bot
[02:39] <DarkRedman> I know that the BIOS don't detect USB drivers, few months ago it worked. I set up the three options to USB support as USB legacy supports on enabled
[02:39] <greppy> rlankfo: what is the contents of your /etc/hosts?
[02:39] <rlankfo> greppy: fixed now :)
[02:39] <greppy> rlankfo: yay :) glad I could help
[02:40] <antlong> anyone use kate?
[02:40] <darkdelusions> DarkRedman: Is your Bios boot piroity setup to read usb first?
[02:40] <DarkRedman> darkdelusions: yes it is
[02:41] <darkdelusions> DarkRedman: what happens when you attempt to load the USB? does it just ignore it take you to windows or give you an invaild system disk error assuming there nothing installed on the HD?
[02:41] <jdimatteo> \wc
[02:42] <Thre365ive> Hello
[02:42] <Thre365ive> Anyone here?
[02:43] <DarkRedman> darkdelusions: it happens that it doesn't detect USB drive (from BIOS)
[02:43] <DarkRedman> altough I enabled USB legacy BIOS support
[02:44] <hiexpo> both usb
[02:44] <darkdelusions> Does you bios have a boot menu where you can manually select what boots frist I know if I press esc on one machines it will give me a boot menu
[02:45] <DarkRedman> Yes I try it too by pressing F8 but it only detect CD drivers and Hard Drives but not USB drives
[02:45] <Thund3rX> Hi all,
[02:45] <DarkRedman> and I don't understand why because it worked few month ago and I actived all USB options to enabled like legacy USB support
[02:46] <Thund3rX> In the Ubuntu 10.04 release, my Firefox doesn't submit the web page when clicking on a submit link
[02:46] <darkdelusions> DarkRedman:  have you tried another jump drive
[02:46] <Thund3rX> chrome on the other hand works fine perfectly
[02:46] <jdeloach> Can somebody help me troubleshoot a Ubuntu server which sometimes boots, sometimes just hangs. When it boots, it fails a few hours later. I cannot SSH in, but it does respond toPings.
[02:46] <Thund3rX> Did anybody had the same behavior?
[02:46] <acicula> try different usb ports, front,back, make sure usb is enabled in the bios, load bios defaults if you arent sure how, etc.
[02:47] <Iori> hello everyone
[02:47] <acicula> jdeloach: if its pingable but you cant login do you get a password prompt?
[02:47] <Thund3rX> Jeloach, did you install the SSH Daemon to that server?
[02:47] <acicula> ior can you at least onnect to port 22?
[02:47] <acicula> with something like netcat
[02:47] <mamece2> hello my dear friends
[02:48] <jdeloach> Thund3rX it's installed. The console hangs too.
[02:48] <acicula> jdeloach: you mean open ssh sessions hang?
[02:48] <jdeloach> Thund3rX I can hit enter and such and type and such, but it doesn't work.
[02:48] <jdeloach> acicula: No, system wide. Even at the server itself.
[02:48] <Iori> sorry first time using irc
[02:48] <sacarlson> Thund3rX: maybe some security setting?  it should pop up something telling what security hold it has hit.  firefox worked for me
[02:48] <somethinginteres> I installed some updates on maverick the other day and they auto-removed totem. Has anyone experienced this?
[02:48] <Iori> how do i connect to port 22
[02:48] <Thre365ive> So, I need some help with Java if anyone is willing to deal with a noob
[02:49] <acicula> heu evreything hangs but you can still ping?
[02:49] <mamece2> i had installed ubuntu in a partition, now i would like to install backtrack 4, can i do it in another partition? i tryed to install BT4 and i can only edit the same partition of ubuntu
[02:49] <DarkRedman> darkdelusions:  jump drive ?!
[02:49] <acicula> anything in the kernel logs?
[02:49] <jdeloach> acicula: Not from what I saw, I am not good at debugging those however.
[02:49] <coshx> Thre365ive: do you need help installing it? what issue are you seeing?
[02:49] <darkdelusions> DarkRedman: flash drive (not it should make a differnce)
[02:49] <DarkRedman> I gonna try other USB places
[02:49] <Iori> i do i connect to port 22?
[02:49] <farang> Hello.  I have an amazon ec2 micro instance of lucid.  I have been using the instance since they launched and everything has been going great.  But I just rebooted and the system has hung ,it seems as though Ive hit bug #634102, but as Ive already rebooted Im not sure what I can do to get back in the machine -- any advice?
[02:49] <DarkRedman> you mean flash bios drive ?
[02:49] <Artemis3> jdeloach, did you do memtest, systester, etc?
[02:49] <sacarlson> mamece2: I would think you should if you have a spare partition to install it in
[02:50] <Dulak> Iori: ssh is port 22: ssh hostnameoriphere
[02:50] <jdeloach> acicula: this has happened before, It rocked last install, but the OS HDD failed so I replaced it, with this install it sometimes works, like it did the install before last.
[02:50] <Thre365ive> Well, I tried to install a few minutes ago from the kernel, but when I got to the user license agreement, it just locked up. I restarted the machine & now it's giving me an error
[02:50] <Thre365ive> I can PM you the error, it's kinda long and I don't wanna clog up the chat
[02:50] <mattgyver> mamece2, sounds like you installed ubuntu to the entire drive.  You will have to resize it to free up the necessary space for bt4.
[02:50] <jdeloach> Artemis3: It worked great 2-3 weeks ago. It HAD been up for several months before I did a reinstall (and a new HDD)
[02:50] <DarkRedman> darkdelusions: do you mean to flash bios ?
[02:50] <jsec> Hi all. Is it safe to uninstall and reinstall MySQL on Lucid Server Edition?
[02:51] <Dulak> jsec
[02:51] <Dulak> jsec: yes even
[02:51] <Artemis3> jdeloach, nevertheless do the tests when you suspect (or suffer) instability
[02:51] <darkdelusions> DarkRedman: No i ment have you tired another flash drive but ignore that question :)
[02:51] <Iori> sorry i'm completely new in irc....not sure what you mean
[02:51] <DarkRedman> oh ok USB drive
[02:51] <DarkRedman> I didn't because I've not more USB drive
[02:51] <darkdelusions> DarkRedman: ya but I thought about that after the fact that shouldnt be the issue
[02:51] <jdeloach> Artemis3, I will if the system gets more desperate. Any ideas on trouble shooting within the OS itself? Such as log browsing?
[02:52] <hhassey> heeeelp!
[02:52] <hhassey> bonobo-activation-server (humberto-2540): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-U93OYds1z7: Conexión rechazada
[02:52] <hhassey> and suddenly im back on the login screen
[02:52] <jdeloach> Artemis3, I am terrible at trouble shooting general linux problems. I am good with the software but not with OS logs.
[02:52] <hhassey> seems random
[02:52] <DarkRedman> hum should I try to change USB place like in the rear of my computer ?
[02:52] <Dulak> Iori: open up terminal from Application->Accessories->Terminal and at the prompt type 'ssh hostnameoriphere' to connect to that host/ip on port 22
[02:52] <tikiking1> How do you set up Ubuntu One in Xubuntu?
[02:52] <Artemis3> jdeloach, hard lock... i suspect: memory, cpu, power supply, or video...
[02:52] <coshx> Thre365ive: can you pastebin the error?
[02:52] <sacarlson> jsec: do you have your database files backed up? if nothing is using it why not?
[02:52] <jdeloach> Artemis, it responds to pings so it doesn't seem like a physical problem.
[02:53] <DarkRedman> I'm bored I can't use last Live Ubuntu because I need to fix it a big problem on my HD with Ubuntu because canonical only sell assistance for one year and not for few bugs :(
[02:53] <Thre365ive> IDK how
[02:53] <Thre365ive> Like I said, complete noob
[02:53] <jdeloach> Artemis, I can do basic things like hit enter and such I doubt it is hard ware.
[02:53] <DarkRedman> I'bve this huge problems since many days :'(
[02:53] <jsec> Everything is backed up remotely. I just bunged up the root password, and even the recovery steps didn't work. Trying to reinstall now.
[02:53] <Artemis3> jdeloach, interesting... just pings? when it happens did you try sysrq reset?
[02:53] <coshx> Thre365ive: paste to ubuntu.patebin.com
[02:53] <mamece2> hi mattgyver, i have windows, i installed ubuntu and that made a partition for it, but when i tried to install BT4 i can edit only the new partition when it is ubuntu
[02:53] <Iori> ok
[02:53] <DarkRedman> What I can do ?!
[02:54] <jdeloach> Artemis3, sysrq restart? The only way to restart it is with a Crtl+Alt+Delete or Power Cycle it.
[02:54] <Dulak> jsec: well that root password is kept in a database that won't be purged by a reinstall
[02:54] <farang> is there any way to revive a lucid image that has hung on boot due to a bug in cloud-init?  Seems like there is a fix if you have access to the machine, but what can I do?
[02:54] <Artemis3> jdeloach, ah then it works with plain ctrl alt del...
[02:54] <jsec> Dulak: yeah i just found that out... :(
[02:54] <jdeloach> Artemis3, Do you agree it must be software?
[02:54] <sacarlson> jsec: root password can't be too difficult to fix but if that might be easier
[02:55] <Thre365ive> Done
[02:55] <jsec> Access Denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[02:55] <DarkRedman> HELP
[02:55] <acicula> farang: can you make it boot from a cdimage and chroot into the instance?
[02:55] <Artemis3> jdeloach, its just a suspicion, its never bad to rule out hardware ^^
[02:55] <mazzanet> lo
[02:55] <Artemis3> jdeloach, are you using a gui in that server?
[02:55] <farang> acicula: what do you mean by cd image?  This is running on Amazon EC2
[02:55] <darkdelusions> DarkRedman: You can try reseting the bios back to default or possible update the bios if your savvy enough
[02:55] <Iori> anyway...
[02:55] <jdeloach> Artemis3, no it's basically headless with a monitor I through on it for checking things if SSH isn't working or such.
[02:55] <DarkRedman> I already reset it
[02:55] <tripelb> dulak, thanks for telling me. I have been using "power manager inhibitor" and I knew there must be a more adjustable way.
[02:55] <jdeloach> Artemis3, just standard console.
[02:56] <mazzanet> how do i make a ppp connection start on boot-up?
[02:56] <Dulak> tripelb: np
[02:56] <DarkRedman> and someones said me to flash bios is risky so what to do ,
[02:56] <DarkRedman> ?
[02:56] <Rotham> hey... I have a new comp with win7 installation... how hard is it to resize the windows partition so I can put on ubuntu?
[02:56] <Iori> can someone help me with the equinox theme instructions?
[02:56] <Rotham> or where can I readup on that?
[02:56] <Iori> it's not so clear....
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> DarkRedman:  it can be risky. Depends on the machine/mb/bios in place.
[02:56] <Artemis3> jdeloach, anything interesting in logs?
[02:56] <acicula> farang: dunno then
[02:56] <Cpudan80> Rotham: With windows 7 you can resize directly from windows
[02:56] <DarkRedman> I've an AMIBIOS
[02:56] <DarkRedman> with nvidia n750 chipset
[02:57] <Rotham> sweet

[02:57] <jdeloach> Artemis3, I am not sure how to debug those logs as there is so much data. Would logs/things do I look for? I am fine with individual programs like Apache/Samba logs, but with system wide there is just so much info I am bad at searching.
[02:57] <DarkRedman> 4GB RAM
[02:57] <darkdelusions> DarkRedman:  if your not comfortable flashing the bio the only thing I would say is burn a CD
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> DarkRedman:  check the amibios/bios update pages. and their readmes.   Many MB's these days have a 'rescue' type bios option. in case of a failed flash.. but ive not heard the original problem.
[02:57] <rdavila> does anyone know how to execute a command after the shell has been loaded through this command: gnome-terminal --tab -e "cmd" ?
[02:57] <DarkRedman> I can't burn a CD because I need LiveCD for that I've only one CD drive
[02:57] <Artemis3> maybe try to find the time of the lockup, in /var/log/messages
[02:58] <jdeloach> Artemis3, And use that time to look through dmesg or such?
[02:58] <Iori> m
[02:58] <sacarlson> jsec: I'm sure you read something like this to reset the mysql password http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=175035
[02:58] <Artemis3> dmesg basically shows /var/log/messages
[02:58] <rdavila> I wan to execute the "cmd" command after the new shell has ben created, after execute the command it should return me to the prompt
[02:59] <jdeloach> Artemis3, what would it show as a "lockup" any words it might be using? Just looking for critical things failing?
[02:59] <jdeloach> Artemis3, please PM any responses you have as I am going to my server room/extra room to look at the server, I wouldn't want to miss any of your advice.
[03:00] <tripelb> I changed my "download ubuntu software from this source" site.

[03:00] <metrix> can anyone suggest an easy to use network backup solution for debian/ubuntu systems?
[03:00] <caliari> hello anyone can help me with my laptop error
[03:00] <jsec> scarlson: yes, all it gives me is the same error with (using password: NO) instead of yes
[03:00] <Roush427r> Hey, how do I partition my HDD for windows 7 through Ubuntu 10.10?
[03:01] <tripelb> caliari you have to just ask your question not ask if you can ask.
[03:01] <DarkRedman> darkdelusions: How to get help from canonical without paying for one year but just to fix the current bugs, I asked it since 5 days on channel but no one knows
[03:01] <caliari>  /join #ubuntu to join.  Register if you don't want to do this again: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet
[03:01] <Artemis3> tripelb, it seems you have a third party respository enabled
[03:01] <caliari> sorry
[03:01] <darkdelusions> DarkRedman: That i know of there is not a way that what the IRC channel and Forums are for
[03:01] <caliari> error that is giving me is that the partition is not valid
[03:02] <tripelb> Artemis3, OK so if I do?  I must have done that from the page called "What to do after you install ubuntu."  I followed a lot of their directions.
[03:02] <darkdelusions> DarkRedman: if you dont pay for there help service then it community supported
[03:02] <Artemis3> tripelb, if you dont need that dropbox repository, you can untick that repository back in software sources and try again
[03:02] <tripelb> Artemis3, what is happening while I am getting all that stuff?  should I do that regularily?
[03:02] <Roush427r> Hey, how do I partition my HDD for windows 7 through Ubuntu 10.10?
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> DarkRedman:  there was some option on the live cd i recall to boot 'to ram' and free up the optical drive..
[03:02] <DarkRedman> Yeah but last time some people here tried to help me to fix a bug but it deleted my .Private folder of ecryptfs and my Ubuntu on HD don't work anymore
[03:02] <DarkRedman> and I don't want to endamage anymore
[03:03] <DarkRedman> I'm going crazy, I can't use my Ubuntu and my important DATA to work
[03:03] <Artemis3> tripelb, if you add a third party repository, chances are you also need to add a key so it won't complain about untrusted sources
[03:03] <caliari> hello tripelb: can you help me out please
[03:03] <Izinucs> DarkRedman: you file bug reports on launchpad to make them aware of the issues you're having. you may find other reports dealing with your issues and possible solutions too.
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> One reason not to use encrypted homes. i guess..
[03:03] <DarkRedman> I can't file
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> bye all - work time
[03:03] <tripelb> Artemis3,  AND ANYONE - How can I learn how to think about this instead of following directions and not understanding the significance of what I am doing!
[03:03] <DarkRedman> Because I can't boot and use apport-bug
[03:03] <DarkRedman> I boot on ubuntu but I've a special fatal error

[03:06] <sc30317> Izinucs: precisely
[03:06] <Iori> hey guys, when installing equinox theme, it asks me to extract corresponding archive. Is it talking about the source or package?
[03:06] <Iori> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Equinox+GTK+Engine?content=121881
[03:06] <DarkRedman> ...

[03:06] <mauve_1105> Hi all, I'm able to connect to a passworded wireless connection, but I can't get Firefox to load any internet page. Other PC on the wireless router surfs internet fine. Any suggestions?
[03:07] <Izinucs> sc30317: well.. Joomla comes to mind.. there are others too but I haven't played with them.. Joomla.com for more info and downloads.. there's lots of help there and also tons of third party support.
[03:07] <mamece2> do u recommend me to dl the ubuntu updats?
[03:07] <caliari> tripelb: my laptop is giving me a error that reads partition not valid..

[03:07] <DarkRedman> Who could help me please ?!
[03:07] <Crash1hd> Is there anyway of knowing when I started something (I have an svn add / update that has been running for a couple of days now going strong) but I dont remember when I started it, I know that its 18GB of data so its going to take 4.5 days I just want to know how close I am to being finished
[03:08] <sc30317> lzinucs, thanks for the recommendation
[03:08] <xangua> Iori: just add the ppa http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Equinox+Ubuntu+Packages+%2832+bits%29?content=121882
[03:09] <sc30317> anyone else have an eCommerce suggestion?
[03:09] <Izinucs> sc30317: np.. by the way .. if TAB doesn't work to auto complete a nick then you're most likely spelling it wrong.. like mine .. izinucs with a capital i .. :)
[03:09] <sc30317> haha gotcha Izinucs
[03:09] <sc30317> nice
[03:09] <sc30317> Izinucs: have you used joomla for eCommerce before?
[03:09] <caliari> tripelb: my laptop is giving me a error that reads partition not valid..
[03:09] <Iori> Xangua that's a website
[03:09] <Izinucs> sc30317: not for ecommerce but I've setup several sites with it.
[03:09] <Iori> ...
[03:09] <Artemis3> jdeloach, hard to say, chances are it will do the same
[03:10] <xangua> Iori: yes
[03:10] <sc30317> Izinucs: I don't see any portion of ecommerce for joomla?
[03:10] <Izinucs> sc30317: there's tons of plugins for it... some better than others.. I suggest checking their site out and the related plugins.
[03:10] <sc30317> Izinucs: will try, thanks
[03:10] <AbhiJit> gm
[03:10] <caliari> Hi guys: my laptop is giving me a error that reads partition not valid..
[03:11] <crawln> caliari: does it have a dualboot or just inx?
[03:11] <Iori> xangua, can you just add the url of website as ppa? I don't think so....
[03:11] <Izinucs> sc30317: check this link http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/e-commerce
[03:11] <sc30317> haha just got there Izinucs
[03:12] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: do you have a secound computer?  maybe you can pxe boot and fix your problem http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-without-cd-usb-via-the-internet/
[03:12] <caliari> crawln do not know.. acpi bios v1.30
[03:12] <crawln> caliari: do you have a windows partion as well on the laptop or just using ubuntu
[03:12] <Crash1hd> can someone show me what a cron would look like when running at every 20 and 40 mins on the hr?
[03:12] <caliari> crawln do not know.. acpi bios v1.30 toshiba sat
[03:13] <caliari> crawln yes
[03:13] <DarkRedman> sacarlson: no :s
[03:13] <DarkRedman> I don't what is pxe
[03:13] <caliari> crawln yes windos
[03:13] <Iori> i dont want to add ppa
[03:13] <Iori> i just want to follow the instructions
[03:13] <crawln> caliari: it saying that the partion the bootloader is trying to boot from is not a valid partion.
[03:13] <DarkRedman> I've contacted Canonical within a form, i hope they'll could help me because I'm really embarassed since 5 days
[03:14] <Iori> can anyone just quickly explain it to me?
[03:14] <Iori> how to add the equinox theme?
[03:14] <crawln> caliari: does it boot to windows?
[03:14] <xangua> Iori: have you already opened that url and READ IT¡¿
[03:14] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: pxe boot is boot from lan,  but if you don't have a secound computer to setup as a boot server then it's mute point.
[03:14] <caliari> crawln: it will start up but will not let it read the live CD.. just give me the error message
[03:14] <xangua> Iori: equinox theme needs equinox engine, you can install both once you have added it's ppa
[03:15] <DarkRedman> Anyway even with a second computer I would have to setup a boot server but it's too hard for me
[03:15] <crawln> caliari: reburn the cd at low speed 4 or 8x
[03:15] <Iori> xangua: yes but some instructions are not clear and i dont understand since i'm a noobie
[03:15] <DarkRedman> I can try to flash my bios but I don't want that my bios become broken :s
[03:15] <crawln> caliari: my computer has that problem when burning inx cd's
[03:15] <caliari> crawln: it is on a 4x now
[03:15] <Izinucs> Iori: what's the link for the PPA?
[03:16] <crawln> caliari: try DL the minimal cd then
[03:16] <Iori> ppa is ppa:tiheum/equinox
[03:16] <crawln> caliari: and burn it to see if it's a problem with the iso
[03:16] <xangua> Iori: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-equinox equinox-theme equinox-ubuntu-theme
[03:16] <caliari> crawln: the dos will not start up
[03:16] <Izinucs> Iori: no... what's the web address for the main site of the ppa
[03:16] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: maybe you will just have to buy another hard disk.  you can buy secound hand disks cheap here.  like $20 for 40 gb
[03:17] <Ivis> so 10 days to the big day hu ? :D
[03:17] <crawln> caliari: will it not boot to windows or ubuntu?
[03:17] <Izinucs> Iori: there' you go.. xangua answered what I was going to look up.
[03:17] <caliari> crawln: the problem is not the iso the PC that i am using now is from the cd..
[03:18] <Licuadora> Is there a way to hide the side tool bar from Unity?
[03:18] <Licuadora> It's just that takes too much space
[03:18] <DarkRedman> sacarlson: why ?! It's not a problem of hard disk !
[03:18] <xangua> Licuadora: no autohide if that's what your asking, neither hide; canonical already said it
[03:18] <Iori> xangua: thanks, it seemed to work. Before, I added it to my software sources apt field and the key as well but i didnt know how to install it
[03:18] <DarkRedman> it is a fresh hard disk I bought few time ago it's a 1TB Western Digital Hard Drive
[03:18] <caliari> crawln: correct it is just going to the screen and it reads" partition not valid
[03:18] <Licuadora> xangua: REALLY?!
[03:19] <Licuadora> Aw, man!!
[03:19] <sacarlson> sounded like an unsupported hard drive problem.  if not what is it?
[03:19] <xangua> Iori: that's only what the web say.......
[03:19] <Licuadora> It's just too..... bad
[03:19] <Licuadora> I want Gnome back!
[03:19] <mamece2> how much gigas will i need for ubuntu?
[03:19] <Iori> xangua: what's with the command './configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation' ? Do i run this in the terminal?
[03:19] <crawln> caliari: yes but if the laser is weak or the cdrom is old it affects the ability of the reading of the cd. had to swap out a cdrom that reads and writes for another one to get my server to boot
[03:20] <DarkRedman> sacarlson: it's USB drive that's is not supported not hard drive
[03:20] <DarkRedman> and my USB drive is not the problem because it worked few month ago
[03:20] <Crash1hd> does this look right? --> 20,40 * * * '/...'
[03:20] <sacarlson> but you are booting from usb drive?
[03:20] <xangua> Iori: no idea what is that for or why you want it to run
[03:20] <crawln> caliari: if you have a ubuntu already installed and a windows system next to it check the grub configuration
[03:20] <iOpera> why FloodBot1 here. lol
[03:20] <IConrad01> Hello...  have a tiny bit of an issue here, hopefully it'll be a simple one.

[03:20] <rww> eep
[03:20] <rww> !requirements | mamece2
[03:21] <IConrad01> How does one go about manually restarting audio in Ubuntu 10.04?
[03:21] <rww> iOpera: to stop flooding :\
[03:21] <Iori> xangua: it worked and i see the theme in the appearance window. I'm just asking supplementary questions because i didnt understand the instructions onsite
[03:21] <caliari> crawln: i did that and it will not read any cd .. It was working fine last night
[03:21] <Iori> xangua: thanks for your help by the way
[03:21] <Izinucs> IConrad01: perhaps.. sudo service pulseaudio restart ..
[03:21] <iOpera> if anyone knows why pae kernel can not run.
[03:21] <Licuadora> Now the Plymputh crashed
[03:21] <Licuadora> ...
[03:21] <Licuadora> hm
[03:21] <mamece2> !requierements>mamece2
[03:21] <IConrad01> lzinucs: No dice.  "Pulseaudio configured for per-user sessions"
[03:21] <Licuadora> well,  it is still a beta
[03:22] <caliari> crawln: how to check the grup config?
[03:22] <iOpera> i install pae kernel. but fail to start.
[03:22] <Artemis3> Licuadora, you should go to #ubuntu+1 ...
[03:22] <DarkRedman> sacarlson: because I need a fresh Live image
[03:22] <Izinucs> IConrad01: then "sudo killall pulseaudio" .. it should restart by itself if not then "pulseaudio &"
[03:22] <IConrad01> iOpera: Did you install all three *.deb files?
[03:22] <caliari> crawln: how to check the grub config?
[03:22] <xangua> iOpera: how did you¿
[03:22] <DarkRedman> because old old are not up to date with the tools to repair my Ubuntu
[03:22] <iOpera> IConrad01: why deb? i install from source
[03:23] <DarkRedman> (I mean Ubuntu on my HD)
[03:23] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: is that a yes you need to boot from usb drive?
[03:23] <justine777w> what does Error: Cannot install 'default-jre-headless mean?
[03:23] <IConrad01> Ahh.  Did you compile the headers et al, then?
[03:23] <xangua> iOpera: fron sourse¿ pae is in the repository
[03:23] <iOpera> i3+GT240....
[03:23] <DarkRedman> sacarlson: is that a yes ?! What do you mean ?
[03:23] <IConrad01> Izinucs: No dice.  pulseaudio doesn't restart sound.
[03:23] <mamece2> whats the name of the initial?
[03:23] <iOpera> xangua: you use pae?
[03:23] <Izinucs> IConrad01: did it ever work?
[03:23] <mamece2> g what?
[03:23] <xangua> iOpera: no i don't
[03:23] <caliari> crawln: how to check the grub config?
[03:23] <xangua> !pae | iOpera
[03:23] <iOpera> er.
[03:24] <IConrad01> Izinucs: Yes.
[03:24] <iOpera> ubottu: bot?
[03:24] <Izinucs> IConrad01: when did it stop...? after installing something?
[03:24] <IConrad01> Sound just up and died on me five minutes ago -- I've been running Ubuntu since 7.04.
[03:24] <mamece2> whats new with the new kernels?
[03:24] <justine777w> sorry I logged off by accident What does Error: Cannot install 'default-jre-headless mean and does anyone know how to fix it?
[03:24] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: you can boot from your internal disk then?  but after boot you can't read the external usb drive?
[03:24] <ccw> Hey all.  Is there a configuration file for the 'me menu' somewhere?  For some reason, I have no social bar, and I can't figure out how to activate it.
[03:24] <IConrad01> Izinucs: Nope.  Didn't do a thing.  I only noticed it died when I sent an IM and no sound came up.
[03:24] <nozes> vou indo nessa, flw lindos e lindas
[03:24] <roger_> hi
[03:24] <Guest88698> hello~
[03:25] <DarkRedman> sacarlson: I can't because I got a bug on my Ubuntu since someone on this channel tried to help it finally erase my .Private folder then ecryptfs can decrypt my session
[03:25] <Guest88698> anyone installed mac os by ubuntu?
[03:25] <Izinucs> IConrad01: weird.. catastrophic sound card failure perhaps.. try aplay <music file> in terminal and see if it works with that
[03:25] <DarkRedman> so I'm forced to use a LiveCD or LiveUSB but my LiveCD is not up to date, and my LiveUSB can't boot so I'm frozen to wait for an efficient help
[03:25] <DarkRedman> live Canonical
[03:25] <DarkRedman> *like
[03:25] <johni> hello everybody, have a security problem with my ubuntu
[03:25] <caliari> crawln: are you there??
[03:25] <iOpera> xangua: nothing special at that page.. i do all
[03:26] <IConrad01> Izinucs: aplay is running but there's no sound.
[03:26] <iOpera> linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae
[03:26] <queso> How do I view /var/log/faillog (it's binary?)?
[03:26] <johni> I have a local dev web server (only runs on localhost to the network) and I see that it gets weird requests /test or /w2342342
[03:26] <johni> I suspect I have something on my system
[03:27] <Izinucs> IConrad01: I know this sounds silly but have you checked the jack going to the speaker? I've got a dog that likes to lay under my desk when I'm sitting there.. 70lbs on wires does things :)
[03:27] <johni> can somebody point me in some direction ?
[03:27] <IConrad01> Izinucs: It's a laptop.
[03:28]  * DarkRedman want to suicide because Ubuntu doesn't work and can't access to his own DATA
[03:28] <caliari> hi guys , my toshiba sat. laptop is giving me a error "partition not valid" can any one help??
[03:28] <iOpera> with 10.04, need linux-server linux-headers-server installed?  pae... i3+GT240
[03:28] <Izinucs> IConrad01: that would preclude a pet pest... accidently hit the mute key?
[03:28] <justine777w> what does this mean: Error: Cannot install 'default-jre-headless
[03:28] <IConrad01> Izinucs: It changes color when you touch it.  So... no.
[03:28] <IConrad01> I really don't want to have to reboot to fix this. <_<
[03:29] <Dulak> wow that equinox thing looks real nice
[03:29] <crawln> caliari: try http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/AutoSuperGrubDisk
[03:29] <Artemis3> IConrad01, if possible, paplay is preferred since it uses pulseaudio
[03:29] <DarkRedman> I let Ubuntu down, it doesn't work anymore :s
[03:29] <DarkRedman> bye
[03:29] <iOpera> who use pae kernel here.
[03:29] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: well that's were the $20 used disk would be usefull then.  so you could have install a working copy of ubuntu there so you have a cd that you could burn a new copy.  or use a spare partition on your present 1T disk and install a new clean 2nd working copy of ubuntu?
[03:30] <johni> anybody?
[03:30] <Izinucs> IConrad01: click the speaker icon up by the clock and check out the preferences.. gotta cover all the bases.
[03:30] <DarkRedman> sacarlson: if I install on one of my other CD I'll got to grub
[03:30] <IConrad01> Izinucs: I just tried cat trial.wav > /dev/dsp and there's no audio.
[03:30] <DarkRedman> and it'll bug harder
[03:30] <caliari> crawln: this page will do what for say??
[03:30] <IConrad01> >_<
[03:30] <DarkRedman> i've 3 HD and one is my main 1TB HD
[03:30] <Artemis3> IConrad01, and alsamixer just in case
[03:30] <Lxndr> I am having trouble with Sound Recorder. It seems to record sounds coming in, but then when I try to play the file/recording back, it gives me an error: "Failed to connect stream: too large." How can I make this work?
[03:30] <tripelb> caliari, I'd like to help you. someone else could do it better. To do that you should say something like: I have an ASUS laptop with (a dual boot windows-if that's true) with Ubuntu 10.04 (or whatever you have) and I'm in the middle of trying to install yadd yadda (or whatever you are doing) and (name what is happening while it is saying) it says "Partition now valid"  -- I would need that info and so would someoen else. --- I sure am
[03:30] <tripelb>  more experienced in asking questions in here so I tell all that from the get-go.  AND dont put my name in the line so that everyone will see it.  (I'll see it too.)  ---  We'll get you fixed up!!
[03:31] <aroman> realistically, what is the difference between an Ubuntu RC and the Ubuntu GM? Any reason I shouldn't consider them equal?
[03:31] <DrDamnit> What's the Linux equivalent of Camtasia or Screenflow?
[03:31] <iOpera> goto forum.
[03:31] <IConrad01> Artemis3: alsamixer shows everything max, nothing muted.  Even the pc beep ... and I'm getting nothing.
[03:31] <DarkRedman> DrDamnit: try gtk-recordmydesktop
[03:31] <ccw> any takers on the missing social bar? I've got gwibber working fine and everything, just no sign of it on the me menu...
[03:31] <IConrad01> I'm thinking my soundcard might have decided to "take a nap"
[03:31] <BinaryMan> is it possible to force a usb port to put out a full amp instead of half an amp?
[03:31] <Artemis3> IConrad01, is that a single sound card?
[03:31] <DarkRedman> it's really efficient
[03:31] <IConrad01> Artemis3: It's a laptop, so... yeah.
[03:31] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: well if your afraid to work with the disks that have your valued data best to us a $20 disk to try without fear.
[03:31] <Izinucs> IConrad01: I'm stuck .. someone else will have to pick this up.
[03:32] <BinaryMan> to hell with USB standards and rules.
[03:32] <Artemis3> IConrad01, stop anything that could be using sound...
[03:32] <DarkRedman> sacarlson: I don't need too !
[03:32] <IConrad01> Izinucs: Yeah.  I was afraid of that... <_<
[03:32] <BinaryMan> is it at all possible to tell my laptop to put out a full amp?
[03:32] <tripelb> caliari, (BTW I had gone to take a shower. Sorry you didnt know to leave my name out of your request so that everyone would see it.
[03:32] <DarkRedman> i've already 3 HD
[03:32] <IConrad01> Artemis3: Nothing is using sound.  I lsof'd.
[03:32] <DarkRedman> so why to buy a 4th ?!
[03:32] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: then what do you need to do?
[03:32] <tripelb> Artemis3,  AND ANYONE - How can I learn how to think about this instead of following directions and not understanding the significance of what I am doing!
[03:32] <BinaryMan> as in something like echo "1000" > /dev/system/bus/usb/usb004/power
[03:33] <caliari> crawln: could the hard drive be the problem?
[03:33] <DarkRedman> I need to burn a LiveCD at least or make my LiveUSB workin' then I could fix (perhaps) the bug about ecryptfs and the erase .Private folder
[03:33] <BinaryMan> i doubt that's an actual path, but something along those lines.
[03:33] <KennyXYZ> hello
[03:33] <DarkRedman> actually I can't burn a CD because I need the LiveCD gor that and I've only one CD drive
[03:33] <Artemis3> tripelb, thats becoming philosophical ^^'
[03:33] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: well how are you going to burn a cd if it is the only way you can boot?
[03:34] <DarkRedman> and I would like help from canonical because most of time some people says me to make things which make more errors on my ubuntu
[03:34] <caliari> crawln: could the hard drive be the problem?
[03:34] <DarkRedman> the only way is to install another Ubuntu to burn a new cd the problem is about grub
[03:34] <DarkRedman> if I've 2 grubs
[03:34] <Datz> DarkRedman: linux is maybe not for you.
[03:34] <DarkRedman> Datz: that's not the problem of linux at all
[03:34] <DarkRedman> that's the problem of gparted first
[03:35] <Datz> wonder what that is based on
[03:35] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: what's so hard about grub?
[03:35] <DarkRedman> then the problem of ecryptfs
[03:35] <mauve_1105> How do I find out my default gateway?
[03:35] <tripelb> Artemis3, I dont know. I'm just a dim bulb in a dark room. <-- now that's metaphorical.
[03:35] <DarkRedman> sacarlson: when I've 2 grubs it can overloads which one other
[03:35] <Artemis3> DarkRedman, normally you can just put a live cd and start from it, or an usb stick with the live cd image and fix it
[03:35] <DarkRedman> yes but my live cd is not up to date (as the tools to repair)
[03:35] <Dulak> mauve_1105: 'route -n' should show it
[03:35] <DarkRedman> and if I upgrade it I use all my RAM so it lags so much
[03:35] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: the encrypt thing you will have to fix after you have a working ubuntu running on something other that your livecd
[03:36] <caliari> crawln: thanks will look for a clearer answer ...
[03:36] <tripelb> ANYONE - How can I learn  more about linux,  instead of following directions and not understanding the significance of what I am doing!
[03:36] <DarkRedman> so I try to install a new ubuntu ?
[03:36] <DarkRedman> on another HD ?!
[03:36] <Datz> tripelb: try a book
[03:36] <tripelb> right datz, or a website.
[03:36] <Datz> sure
[03:36] <mauve_1105> Dulak: what can I do if my gateway is "0.0.0.0"? :(
[03:36] <tripelb> like I've never looked at one.
[03:37] <pozican> Where is the log that will tell me what packages were recently installed / removed using apt?
[03:37] <Datz> tripelb: why are you asking?
[03:37] <ccw> so here's another issue I haven't been able to make any progress with:  if I use any of the function or special keys on my keyboard (one of those wireless usb jobs) the left mouse button stops working, though I can still move it, right click, and scroll.  Neither restarting the mouse or logging in and out resolves the issue, only a full reboot.
[03:37] <Artemis3> DarkRedman, i guess you could try the ubuntu 10.10 image, if you use the an usb stick, do NOT use persistence when creating the boot disk
[03:37] <ccw> anyone had similar problems?
[03:37] <Dulak> mauve_1105: that's means it's to itself, the one in that list that starts with 0.0.0.0 is the default gateway
[03:38] <DarkRedman> Artemis3: it's that I tried but it doesn't boot, my BIOS doesn't detect it even if I enabled USB legacy support (for booting)
[03:38] <DarkRedman> and I set USB drives as first boot option
[03:38] <Datz> pozican: you could try to generate a file with all the installed packages -> dpkg --get-selections > installed-software
[03:38] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: at this point I guess that's what I would do.  stick an old hard disk in pull out or don't mount your present disks.  install ubuntu you have on the old disk, burn a new cd with what you want on it.  move on
[03:38] <pozican> Datz: I'm more worried about what was removed in the last 10 minutes  ;)
[03:38] <IConrad01> Ah, fuckit.  I guess I have to reboot.
[03:38] <Datz> pozican: ah, I see
[03:38] <DarkRedman> sacarlson: I gonna try, see you soon I hope ;)
[03:38] <Artemis3> DarkRedman, isnt there a key for boot menu when you turn on the machine?
[03:39] <DarkRedman> Artemis3: no :s
[03:39] <DarkRedman> even with manual boot F8 command
[03:39] <pozican> Datz: seems most distros and pkg management keep a log - Yum for example, I guess I just assumed apt would, being fairly mature
[03:39] <mauve_1105> Dulak: when I try to ping the default gateway, it just says "Do you want to ping broadcast? Then -b" -- I'm just trying to ping the wireless router.
[03:39] <tripelb> Because I'm not understanding what I'm doing. I followed what someone said. it failed. Now I'm getting a "duplicate sources" when what I did was change my software sourced to u-texas. when that failed I turned it back to United States server. --- I am trying to do the software update that the Updater told me about today.
[03:39] <DarkRedman> I try to install a new Ubuntu with forcing current HD to not endamage my current Ubuntu
[03:39] <DarkRedman> *forcing undected my current HD
[03:39] <DarkRedman> see you soon
[03:40] <Datz> pozican: do you know how they were removed?
[03:40] <pozican> Datz: apt-get remove
[03:40] <sacarlson> DarkRedman: good luck
[03:40] <IConrad01> Well, I guess a reboot it is.
[03:40] <IConrad01> >_<
[03:40] <Dulak> mauve_1105: pastebin the output of the 'route -n' command: http://pastebin.com
[03:40] <Datz> pozican: there should be a log of all the commands you've issued in your home dir
[03:40] <tripelb> DarkRedman, I'm of a simple mind but you know you have to do it on a different partition, right?
[03:40] <pozican> Datz: Sure, but that won't help in the case of apt-get remove ati* instead of ati-*
[03:41] <mauve_1105> Dulak, one moment please, gotta type it out. the machine is beside me.
[03:41] <Datz> pozican: ah
[03:41] <pozican> Datz: it's quite the mess :)
[03:41] <Dulak> mauve_1105: just the lines with ips, and only need the first 3 columns
[03:41] <sacarlson> tripelb: I hope we didn't get him to do something even more damaging
[03:41] <linusasus6> I want to understand why when I plug earphone in jack sound is in earphone and in speaker in same time
[03:42] <aroman> Which is newer, apt-get or aptitude?
[03:42] <tripelb> datz, I switched to main server and it tells me it cant get a key for dropbox, again. Artimis3 told me to take dropbox off some list but I have no idea how to make this happen.
[03:42] <KennyXYZ> aptitude is better
[03:42] <Dulak> aroman: they are both old, one just resolves dependencies better (aptitude)
[03:42] <tripelb> sarcarlson: He really really wants to learn. I like his style.
[03:43] <Izinucs> aroman: 'bout the same.. just depends on which one you like.. KennyXYZ says aptitude is better but that *use to be true*.. they are both pretty much the same now.
[03:43] <Datz> pozican: I guess you could search for packages, and see what might have been removed...
[03:43] <aroman> Dulak, Really? Isn't aptitude being removed from Ubuntu?
[03:43] <sacarlson> tripelb: only way to learn for me is have nothing to fear and nothing to loose
[03:43] <mauve_1105> Dulak: http://pastebin.com/m9uKa2ij (btw, I can authenticate fine with WEP/WEP2 and I have full bars in terms of signal strength -- it's just that FF won't load internet pages)
[03:43] <Dulak> apt-get still won't give you multiple options for resolving a dep problem but aptitude will
[03:43] <Datz> pozican: something like aptitude search ati-*
[03:44] <ccw> would somebody mind saying 'ping' or something, just so I know I'm actually getting messages through?  Not trying to be a jerk, I promise, just relatively new to irc...
[03:44] <KennyXYZ> aptitude updates the dependencies
[03:44] <Dulak> mauve_1105: 'sudo route add default gw ipaddressofgatewayhere'
[03:44] <Datz> ccw: we hear ya
[03:44] <tripelb> KennyXYZ, why is aptitude better?  I'm pretty nubie but I started using apt-get instead of Synaptic because Synaptic never works for me. Really never. I'd use CLI a lot if I knew what I was doing.  (looking for the name of something free to learn from, preferably html) -
[03:44] <ccw> sweet, thanks
[03:44] <aroman> So is there a drawback to aptitude, then? Surely it's being replaced by apt-get for a reason..
[03:44] <tripelb> sacarlson read what I said just above to KennyXYZ
[03:45] <Izinucs> tripelb: synaptic and apt-get and aptitude go to the same place.. and use dpkg to install stuff.. if you can't install from synaptic then there are other issues.
[03:46] <Dulak> aptitude will give you many options for a dependency conflict, apt-get only gives you one option, and it's not always the right solution for your problem.
[03:46] <KennyXYZ> can i post a link in here?
[03:46] <Izinucs> sure
[03:46] <tripelb> Izinucs, yes, like I dont know how to use synaptic and it annoys me.
[03:46] <AbhiJit> KennyXYZ, yes pastabinit it
[03:46] <tripelb> dulak, thanks for that explanation.
[03:46] <sacarlson> tripelb: ya why would synaptic not work and apt-get work?  you run a server with no xserver running?
[03:47] <Lxndr> I am having trouble with Sound Recorder. It seems to record sounds coming in, but then when I try to play the file/recording back, it gives me an error: "Failed to connect stream: too large." How can I make this work?
[03:47] <KennyXYZ> here is a good link to read about it
[03:47] <KennyXYZ> http://pthree.org/2007/08/12/aptitude-vs-apt-get/
[03:47] <mauve_1105> Dulak: I typed "sudo add default gw 192.168.1.254" and got "SIOADDRT: No such process" -- ???
[03:47] <Izinucs> KennyXYZ: that's an old link
[03:47] <tripelb> sacarlson, No. I am the problem. , like I dont know how to use synaptic and it annoys me.
[03:47] <Datz> KennyXYZ: ha, I just read that
[03:47] <fuzzybunny69y> hey everyone! I started a program and told it to run in the background by using a & at the end of the command but for some reason it is still showing output from the program when i am using a terminal. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this?
[03:48] <KennyXYZ> yes, it is an old link
[03:48] <Datz> I always thought aptitude would be the successor to apt-get, then then agian I don't know what time period they originated
[03:48] <hiexpo> synaptic is ure friend
[03:48] <Dulak> mauve_1105: sorry forgot the interface: 'sudo route add default gw ipaddresshere ra0'
[03:48] <sacarlson> tripelb: I use both but mostly synaptic.  I like to see this list of apps to choose from.  I don't use aptitude much.  but they all work
[03:49] <Ivis> Can i upgrade to 10.10 alredy ?
[03:49] <Datz> is it cool to spell things wrong now? :p
[03:49] <DrDamnit> DarkRedman: gtk-recordmydesktop works great! How do I get it to only do one monitor though? (Or one application) select window either doesn't work, or I am not doing it right....
[03:49] <linusasus6> yeah I love synaptic you can install all dependenty but from the deposit only if is not in deposit then you need terminal
[03:49] <AbhiJit> Ivis, #ubuntu+1 for maverick questions
[03:49] <Lxndr> I am having trouble with Sound Recorder. It seems to record sounds coming in, but then when I try to play the file/recording back, it gives me an error: "Failed to connect stream: too large." How can I make this work?
[03:50] <mauve_1105> Dulak: nope, still no better: "SIOCADDART: No such process"
[03:50] <Ivis> AbhiJit, thanks
[03:50] <hiexpo> Datz,  sure if ya wanna be a tard
[03:50] <linusasus6> I want to understand why when I plug earphone in jack sound is in earphone and in speaker in same time
[03:50] <KennyXYZ> well apt-get leaves orphaned dependencies on your system
[03:50] <tripelb> I found the dropbox repository and I unchecked it from the list..  now the UPGRADE still cant be Authenticated.
[03:50] <KennyXYZ> apt-get remove i meant
[03:50] <Datz> hiexpo: lol
[03:50] <w0_> well I installed apache, and it runs at bootup, how can I change this?  ALSO when I type 'ps' apache2 doesn't show anything.  but I can load the webpage in firefox.  I tried 'apache2ctl -k stop' and nothing ...
[03:50] <tripelb> I found the dropbox repository and I unchecked it from the list..  now the UPGRADE still cant be Authenticated. Artemis3
[03:50] <AbhiJit> w0_, try in #ubuntu-server
[03:50] <w0_> ab: thanks
[03:51] <AbhiJit> :/
[03:51] <Dulak> mauve_1105: nifty, in network manager did you change any of the settings for the wireless?
[03:51] <Crankygeek> Anyone having problems with installing Team Viewer on 10.10..?
[03:51] <AbhiJit> Crankygeek, ask in #ubuntu+1
[03:51] <tripelb> I found the dropbox repository and I unchecked it from the list..  now the UPGRADE still cant be Authenticated. Artemis3 -- now I'm changing servers AGAIN
[03:51] <linusasus6> 10.10 is still beta
[03:51] <aroman> linusasus6, RC
[03:51] <tripelb> there's a channel for that
[03:51] <aroman> Oh wow guys, aptitude is FAR superior to apt.. that article blew my mind.
[03:52] <aroman> never knew aptitude was so capable!
[03:52] <Datz> the things it can do!
[03:52] <Izinucs> tripelb: have you tried sudo apt-get install -f to see if it will fix problems?
[03:52] <aroman> now im boggled by WHY on earth ubuntu dropped it!
[03:52] <mauve_1105> Dulak: nope, not yet. I don't think I have the network administrator that most people use -- I have "Preferences -> Network Connections" but nothing under "System -> Administration"
[03:52] <bobstro> aroman:  link?
[03:53] <KennyXYZ> apt-get is still good
[03:53] <Datz> aroman: it is dropped in 10.10?
[03:53] <aroman> bobstro, It's a well known fact I thought, I'll look
[03:53] <Dulak> because they are retarded about cli stuff.  They feel the new software center is good enough
[03:53] <bobstro> aroman:  oh, thought you just read something. i did have problems several years ago that aptitude handled better.
[03:53] <Dulak> I know I'll be installing aptitude first thing on a new install
[03:53] <Datz> I guess you can always apt-get install aptitude?
[03:53] <Datz> lol
[03:53] <aroman> oh please. the software center is OK, but it needs another two releases of work to be able to match apt-get and aptitude
[03:53] <aroman> Datz, lol
[03:54] <tripelb> Izinucs, what does that statement do?
[03:54] <tripelb> looks at man file Izinucs
[03:54] <KennyXYZ> well, apt-get wouldn't delete your dependenices... it would work great for newbies. and they wouldn't stress out about a missing dependencies
[03:54] <aroman> found the link: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/aptitude-removed-from-ubuntu-1010.html
[03:54] <Datz> tripelb: man apt-get
[03:54] <hiexpo> installs promises
[03:54] <trism> KennyXYZ: apt-get autoremove
[03:54] <linusasus6> apt-get autoclean
[03:54] <KennyXYZ> yeah, i know that command, trism
[03:55] <bobstro> aroman:  ah, sorry. i thought you meant you just read an article on the differences.
[03:55] <hiexpo> hmm
[03:55] <aroman> bobaloo, Oh, I did that too.. :) KennyXYZ posted it hold on
[03:55] <aroman> http://pthree.org/2007/08/12/aptitude-vs-apt-get/
[03:55]  * Datz is not going to upgrade until the next LTS anyway
[03:55] <ccw> new request: can anyone point me to some documentation for the 'me menu'?  Somehow I failed to turn up anything very detailed, and after some googling it sounds like no one else is having my problem
[03:55] <tripelb> staz that's what I am looking at.
[03:55] <Izinucs> tripelb: it tries to fix whatever might be wrong with apt or the package manager..
[03:55] <linusasus6> Please I want to understand why when I plug earphone in jack sound is in earphone and in speaker in same time thank you! ;)
[03:55] <aroman> Datz, Why?
[03:56] <tripelb> datz that's what I am looking at.
[03:56] <Datz> aroman: because I don't like upgrading
[03:56] <Datz> I'm going to leave my ubuntu-server install for 5 years :p
[03:56] <aroman> Datz, Really? Upgrading is the best part of Linux! :)
[03:56] <Datz> aroman: not if it replaces all your config files
[03:56] <Izinucs> aroman: not on a server
[03:57] <aroman> aroman, Oh I assumed it was a desktop
[03:57] <aarcane> !list
[03:57] <darkdelusions> linusasus6: that means you jack sensing is not working
[03:57] <linusasus6> so what I install then
[03:57] <Datz> I probably wont even upgrade my desktop... either.. but we don't have to go into that :p
[03:57] <aarcane> @find drdb
[03:57] <aroman> !botsnack | Datz
[03:57] <tripelb> datz Izinucs man apt-get says "install is followed by one or more packages desired for      installation or upgrading. Each package is a package name, not a   fully qualified filename " and does not mention -f for install as a sub for a package name.
[03:57] <Datz> hum :p
[03:57] <aarcane> :-
[03:57] <aarcane> :-S
[03:58] <Dulak> I'll wait at least a month to go to 10.10, non-LTS releases tend to be buggier for a while
[03:58] <aarcane> how do I make the bot tell me about drdb ?
[03:58] <blackdoggy> can anyone help me setting my microphone in 10.04
[03:58] <darkdelusions> linusasus6:  are you using an onboard sound card or some standalone sound card
[03:58] <aarcane> Dulak, 10.4 was one of the buggiest releases to date.
[03:58] <tripelb> datz Izinucs - how will that help my problem with upgrades
[03:58] <AbhiJit> !factoid | aarcane
[03:59] <aroman> tripelb, perhaps I can be of some help, what is your problem? :)
[03:59] <KennyXYZ> hey, i want that new Unity GUI on the 10.10 netbook edition
[03:59] <KennyXYZ> it seems exciting
[03:59] <tripelb> datz Izinucs -  I'm doing the best I can. If I dont sound like I am it's because I dont knwo what to ask.
[03:59] <linusasus6> I guess is onboard I use a laptop
[03:59] <KennyXYZ> and plus i am running a netbook :P
[03:59] <Datz> tripelb: I came in too late to know what your problem was, but -f is fix broken package
[03:59] <darkdelusions> linusasus6: what kinda of laptop?
[03:59] <Izinucs> tripelb: -f is still a valid option
[03:59] <linusasus6> Asus k52JR
[03:59] <Dulak> aarcane: yeah, I didn't upgrade to that till a month after release either, I don't like dealing with it.
[04:00] <aarcane> !ubottu doesn't have a factoid for drdb :(
[04:00] <fuzzybunny69y> aroman, what article are you talking about?
[04:00] <darkdelusions> linusasus6:  I use to have the same problem with my Asus laptop and it was annoying let me see what I can find for your laptop
[04:00] <aarcane> Dulak, I'm torn between sticking with LTS, and moving to 10.10 for new features..
[04:00] <aroman> fuzzybunny69y, I reposted the link a while back, KennyXYZ told me/us about it.
[04:00] <tripelb> aroman: datz - I got an update notice today, After I clicked on do updates I get a window that tells me they cant be authenticated.
[04:00] <linusasus6> thank
[04:01] <KennyXYZ> anyone running a netbook in here?
[04:01] <darkdelusions> linusasus6: it took me weeks to figure it out on mine... :) but 10.04 fixed it
[04:01] <Izinucs> tripelb: check out man apt-get .. the -f option is listed there.
[04:01] <Dulak> aarcane: for my workstations I'll upgrade, just not right at release
[04:01] <aarcane> KennyXYZ, I have two of them, one doesn't liek ubuntu, one runs it almoast exclusively.
[04:01] <KennyXYZ> oh, which one are they? i am using a Dell mini 10v
[04:01] <Datz> tripelb: I couldn't tell you myself. try to fix broken packages like suggested. Then if you don't get help here, go to the forums.
[04:02] <aroman> tripelb, An update notice like the standard Ubuntu graphical update notice?
[04:02] <tripelb> aroman: datz - I went through changing my software sources (someone called it picking a different mirror) and I removed one of the software sources. So far. --- will look at the man file again.
[04:02] <aroman> tripelb, why would you do that..?
[04:02] <aarcane> KennyXYZ, dell mini 10v works perfectly (including wifi, bluetooth, webcam), whereas the asus T91-SA doesn't work because of the GMA500 chipset.
[04:03] <KennyXYZ> haha aww
[04:04] <tripelb> datz Izinucs aroman - yes a standard ubuntu update notice. --- did apt-get install -f and this -- NP -- 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 27 not upgraded.
[04:04] <oktexan> tripleb when you got the error message did it show a key that couldn't be authenticated?
[04:05] <tripelb> oktexan YES!
[04:05] <Izinucs> tripelb: and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade give you errors?
[04:05] <Datz> tripelb: putting the error message in pastebin might to help diagnose the problem
[04:05] <darkdelusions> linusasus6: this post should help you out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9162799
[04:06] <tripelb> Izinucs, I dont know I didnt try them..
[04:06] <blackdoggy> hi people can someone tell me why my microphone is not working?
[04:06] <tripelb> Izinucs, no error for the first
[04:06] <oktexan> sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys [the key that was bad here]
[04:07] <Izinucs> tripelb: if you're getting an error about a key then we should all ask if you enabled a PPA repository or some other third party repo?
[04:07] <oktexan> i got that off the forums but the person said that fixed their problem
[04:07] <Datz> blackdoggy: are you using 10.04?
[04:07] <Izinucs> tripelb: try what oktexan mentioned
[04:08] <tripelb> Hello World: Izinucs when I did it in CLI it told me what package is the problem!! I'll uncheck it. oktexan datz
[04:08] <oktexan> tripleb with no brackets btw
[04:08] <Izinucs> tripelb: what was the package?
[04:09] <tripelb> oktexan, you didnt use my handle in the line.. was it the one about keyserver keyserve.ubuntu.come --recv   etcetc
[04:09] <oktexan> tripelb yes sorry
[04:09] <tripelb> Izinucs, playonlinux  -- it's a wine thing. I only have wine because the "What to do after you install linux page" suggested it.
[04:10] <linusasus6> the links not working
[04:10] <linusasus6> I mean the commands
[04:10] <Izinucs> tripelb: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine
[04:10] <tripelb> oktexan, I use xchat because it highlights the lines to me in red.

[04:11] <blackdoggy> Datz: yes
[04:11] <tripelb> Izinucs, i think I dont want to remove it, I just dont want to update it. I'm pretty sure I can do that.
[04:11] <Izinucs> !fr | linusasus6
[04:11] <linusasus6> this is from the terminal
[04:11] <oktexan> tripelb, nice...i'm using it also but i must admit i'm an irc noob hehe was wondering about the red lines
[04:11] <Izinucs> tripelb: why did you install it?  do you have windows apps that you're trying to run?
[04:12] <linusasus6> the french canal sleeping at the moment
[04:12] <tripelb> Izinucs, I dont remember right now what was the reason for wine. I can find out for you though.
[04:13] <Izinucs> tripelb: doesn't really matter.. wine is only used for running some windows apps..
[04:14] <darkdelusions> linusasus6: i am still lookin give me a sec
[04:14] <isaac> Since when is #ubuntu reg-only?
[04:14] <isaac> Weird.
[04:14] <linusasus6> thank
[04:14] <darkdelusions> isaac:  been that way for a while
[04:14] <Izinucs> isaac: been like that I think for the last month
[04:14] <tripelb> Izinucs, it was for "some windows games" I guess I can remove it. PlayOnLinux is a front-end for wine. Anyway I unchecked that update and it's working. TOO BAD I didnt get the message from the GUI installer and had to know TERMINAL CLI in order to find out what was at issue.  datz oktexan
[04:15] <tripelb> oktexan I am not an irc noob. lol
[04:15] <tacomaster> i am having a problem installing my wireless driver from system > admin > hardware driver's i get the error "sorry,installation of this driver failed. please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log" so i have pastebin "/var/log/jockey.log" here http://pastebin.com/LhAbBBsz
[04:15] <Datz> blackdoggy: ok, I was just checking to see which kernel version you are on. Perhaps your kernel doesn't fully support the sound chip
[04:15] <tripelb> oxtexan FYI there is a channel #xchat that I have used from time to time. I recommend it. Not as busy as here.
[04:15] <Datz> blackdoggy: try to find more information of the chip, and post to the forums. (unless someone else has a suggestion)
[04:16] <researcher123> can someone guide me to start my Lynx again which suddenly show Low resolution n hence failure
[04:16] <tripelb> blackdoggy http://www.ubuntuforums.org are fine!
[04:16] <Izinucs> tripelb: there's an option in the gui updater to show more detail.. that might have done it.
[04:16] <badnaam> can someone help me with a ssh-key nightmare please
[04:17] <badnaam> here is the link to the problem on stackoverflow
[04:17] <tripelb> Izinucs, yes I looked. That's how I knew about the key thingy.
[04:17] <badnaam> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3827331/strange-ssh-issues-with-github
[04:17] <nobarking> i wish we could have jabber support in ubuntuforums
[04:18] <tripelb> Izinucs, I dont know linux but I have this computerbrain and I was a programmer in the wayback before the web. So my thinking processes are in gear but my knowledge quota is on the short side.
[04:18] <tripelb> Izinucs, datz, oktexan Time to Reboot!
[04:18] <Izinucs> tripelb: why reboot?
[04:18] <researcher123> I am getting error Your screen resolution,graphic card driver, not found.It ask me to start in Low resolution but when I say YES to it the system takes infinite time n never start again   	 	 	 	 	 	
[04:18] <darkdelusions> linusasus6: that the only thing i can find
[04:19] <tripelb> Izinucs, datz, oktexan Thank you very much, from the shore of the Pacific ocean.. --- Reboot because the updater is finished. Success...  datz oktexan
[04:19] <linusasus6> but is strang the 404 error
[04:19] <oktexan> tripelb cool good luck!
[04:19] <Izinucs> tripelb: unless it requests a reboot it's not necessary
[04:20] <sacarlson> tacomaster: what wifi device is it you have?  lspci to find out.
[04:20] <Izinucs> tripelb: that's one of the advanatages over windows.. updates take effect immediately except for kernel upgrades.
[04:20] <linusasus6> I will try to install with synaptic
[04:20] <badnaam> can someone help me with a ssh key issue please http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3827331/strange-ssh-issues-with-github
[04:20] <tacomaster> sacarlson: i dont need to lspci its a broadcom 4322
[04:20] <darkdelusions> linusasus6: right click ont he link and choose copy link address
[04:21] <isaac> "mmc0: Unknown controller version (2). You may experience problems."

[04:21] <isaac> This the live cd gives me on startup.
[04:21] <Crankygeek> I am having trouble installing Teamviewer, I think it may be a bad file downloading from the website, but I can't be sure, can anyone give me a hand?
[04:21] <tacomaster> sacarlson: i looked up the b43 linux drvier and the b4322 is unsupported but is supported with the broadcom-sta driver but i cant install because of my problem
[04:21] <isaac> Then the graphical shell starts to boot up, then the computer resets and starts booting all over again.
[04:21] <isaac> Does NOT do this with installed Vista or Vista restore cd.
[04:22] <troy-> is it possible to route traffic through an alias'd interface? e.g. eth0:1?
[04:22] <troy-> when i do it just shows up as src eth0
[04:22] <Datz> blackdoggy: this might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[04:22] <Izinucs> Crankygeek: why teamviewer? vnc is builtin. .  tightvnc is installable...
[04:22] <Datz> blackdoggy:at least in finding out infomation about the sound card
[04:23] <Crankygeek> Because I have firewall issues at work and teamviewer just works, VNC doesn't
[04:23] <Ivis> what games you are playing on linux? :)
[04:23] <sacarlson> tacomaster: did you look at this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1044898
[04:24] <blackdoggy> Datz: its  Realtek ALC262
[04:24] <tacomaster> sacarlson: yes that was the first page i actually came across when i went looking for support for my card
[04:24] <randomOfAmber> is there a better way than jhbuild to get the latest gnome-shell?
[04:24] <sacarlson> tacomaster: so what step did you get to in that?
[04:25] <DarkRedman> Hi all :)
[04:25] <DarkRedman> I'm back with a fresh (second) ubuntu on another HD
[04:25] <randomOfAmber> DarkRedman: hello
[04:25] <linusasus6> ok thank your second link work will try to restart now
[04:25] <DarkRedman> randomOfAmber: hello :)
[04:25] <Izinucs> Crankygeek: you getting it direct from teamviewer.com?
[04:25] <Datz> blackdoggy: ok, good start :0
[04:25] <Datz> :)
[04:25] <blackdoggy> i have a bug report submitted on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/651725
[04:25] <Crankygeek> Izinucs: yes......here is the install error I get when I try and install it
[04:25] <researcher123> how to solve the issue of failing to start Lynx in low resoution
[04:25] <DarkRedman> Artemis3: I'm back :)
[04:26] <Artemis3> :S
[04:26] <four2zero> hello to all i running jolicloud on a netbook and its pretty awesome however im missing a feature that is needed, and dont know if anyone is able to view samba shared network on jolicloud ?
[04:26] <tacomaster> sacarlson:i fully finished that guide and it didnt do anything different it didnt even have a button to enable wireless when you right click networkmanager or anything when you ifconfig or iwlist
[04:26] <blackdoggy> Datz: I think i should completely remove Pulse and make Alsa  my default
[04:26] <Artemis3> its getting trickier to join the channel lately
[04:26] <Izinucs> Crankygeek: you might have to sudo chmod +x <file name>
[04:26] <Crankygeek> Izinucs: dpkg: unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor
[04:26] <DarkRedman> Artemis3: I installed Ubuntu with OEM mode (LiveCD on disk) it is persistent altough ?!
[04:26] <Datz> blackdoggy: that might work.
[04:27] <four2zero> how can i connect jolicloud to an existing samba connection ?
[04:27] <Izinucs> Crankygeek: silly question.. you downloaded the .deb for ubuntu right? did you need 64 bit or 32 and did you get the right one?
[04:27] <sacarlson> tacomaster: and what is seen in /log/syslog at boot about your device?
[04:27] <Artemis3> DarkRedman, when you create the usb stick from iso image, there is an option below about saving user data, you must not, pick the one without this
[04:27] <DarkRedman> Artemis3: I talk about LiveCD
[04:27] <DarkRedman> not LiveUSB
[04:27] <DarkRedman> I choosed OEM mode
[04:27] <aemaeth> i ran "sudo apt-get upgrade" but 3 packages aren't upgraded, are these optional upgrades then? and how do i get those?
[04:27] <Crankygeek> Izinucs: I downloaded the deb 32 bit package
[04:27] <Artemis3> doesnt matter then
[04:28] <DarkRedman> ok
[04:28] <Izinucs> Crankygeek: and are you double clicking it or using dpkg -i <package name>
[04:28] <Artemis3> DarkRedman, oh we should take this to #ubuntu+1
[04:28] <blackdoggy> Datz: is there any decent guide to follow?
[04:28] <DarkRedman> what ?!
[04:28] <DarkRedman> oh okay marverick ?!
[04:29] <Crankygeek> Izinucs: I am clicking it using gdebi package installer
[04:29] <isaac> This the live cd gives me on startup.
[04:29] <isaac> "mmc0: Unknown controller version (2). You may experience problems."
[04:29] <isaac> Then the graphical shell starts to boot up, then the computer resets and starts booting all over again.
[04:29] <KennyXYZ> i accidently uninstalled gdebi
[04:29] <tacomaster> sacarlson: what is the full path to the log file in which you are talking
[04:29] <sacarlson> tacomaster: I'm sorry that would be /var/log/syslog   maybe try grep b43 /var/log/syslog to see what pops up
[04:29] <Izinucs> Crankygeek: you may be right.. bad file or bad compile by them.. I'd file a bug with them.
[04:29] <isaac> Does NOT do this with installed Vista or Vista restore cd.
[04:29] <DarkRedman> I come back via Pidgin
[04:29] <KennyXYZ> it was so annoying being a linux newbie
[04:30] <Crankygeek> Izinucs: are you getting the samething?
[04:30] <blackdoggy> Datz: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8284273
[04:30] <Izinucs> KennyXYZ: after 5 years I'm still a noob :)
[04:30] <Artemis3> KennyXYZ, just apt-get install gdebi
[04:30] <Izinucs> Crankygeek: I'm not installing it.
[04:30] <Crankygeek> Izinucs: I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me having the problem
[04:30] <Artemis3> KennyXYZ, ok, sudo apt-get install gdebi
[04:30] <aemaeth> DarkRedman: finch is better
[04:30] <DarkRedman> I'm back
[04:30] <DarkRedman> finch is a cli program
[04:30] <randomOfAmber> is there a better way than jhbuild to get the latest gnome-shell?
[04:31] <aemaeth> ;)
[04:31] <DarkRedman> and i'm not good with that
[04:31] <DarkRedman> pidgin and xchat are my favourites irc clients
[04:31] <aemaeth> well i have no gui, so
[04:31] <aemaeth> i guess byobu is technically my gui...
[04:31] <DarkRedman> I got an error with synaptic and gdeb "E: linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic: le sous-processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 17"
[04:31] <Izinucs> DarkRedman: byobu/screen and irssi is another combo you should check out
[04:31] <DarkRedman> I don't like irrssi and don't feel comfortable with screen
[04:32] <blakkheim> irssi + screen + ssh
[04:32] <aemaeth> oh yea, and how do i remove the old packages of the generic startup thing that just updated?
[04:32] <blakkheim> the best
[04:32] <Izinucs> blakkheim: +1
[04:32] <tacomaster> sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/yTSHkKMs
[04:32] <DarkRedman> blakkheim: I agree but I prefer GUI interface than CLI interface
[04:33] <slacker-> Hi guys, need some help with mdadm. I'm running a software raid 5 with 3+1 disks. I have replaced one and during the rebuild smartd detected an uncorrectable sector on a different disk, which stopped the rebuild
[04:33] <aemaeth> can you help me Izinucs?
[04:33] <blakkheim> DarkRedman: for a text-only chat protocol? :)
[04:33] <tacomaster> sacarlson: i dont know why you are insisting on the b43-fwcutter because i have done alot of reading on it and it does not support the b4322 card
[04:33] <DarkRedman> blakkheim: yes
[04:33] <Izinucs> aemaeth: what packages do you want to remove?
[04:34] <DarkRedman> I don't know all screen shortcuts "par coeur" (I don't know how to translate)
[04:34] <DarkRedman> it's the same for irssi and ssh options
[04:34] <tacomaster> sacarlson: only thing that supports this card is broadcom-sta that i have seen
[04:34] <researcher123> where can I find recent system log file
[04:34] <Artemis3> /var/log ?
[04:34] <aemaeth> Izinucs: first i need to install the last 3 updates that it has the red 3! for, then if it just went to .25 generic pae should i remove .24?
[04:34] <slacker-> I have now 2 active, 1 spare and 1 failed spare device but the filesystem is still up and running. how can I recover?
[04:35] <DarkRedman> I've an error installing some package : linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic - E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[04:35] <sacarlson> tacomaster: what's the name of that driver then?
[04:35] <four2zero> how do i connect jolicloud to an existing samba network ?
[04:36] <aemaeth> and then i'll need an update-grub to get it off my screen during bootup
[04:36] <Izinucs> aemaeth: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade .. then after a reboot sudo apt-get autoremove should do it.. but I've never delt with pae.. if it's a kernel image for pae then autoremove should do it.
[04:36] <tacomaster> sacarlson: well if i can ever get broadcom-sta installed its called "wl"
[04:37] <aemaeth> ok, autoremove is what i needed for second part, but when i did upgrade there is still 3 left, not sure what to do
[04:37] <sacarlson> tacomaster: then maybe you need to blacklist the others
[04:37] <soulwarp> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:37] <Izinucs> aemaeth: sudo updategrub or update-grub or grub-update .. can't remeber the syntax
[04:37] <sacarlson> tacomaster: I didn't see them doing that in that post
[04:37] <glebihan> aemaeth: update-grub
[04:38] <tacomaster> sacarlson: i have gone through that as well were it told me to blacklist b43, ssa and a few other and i still couldnt download so i deleted the blacklist i made
[04:38] <|multipass|> is there any way to get dual views in Gedit??
[04:40] <DarkRedman> test

[04:40] <DarkRedman> test
[04:40] <FloodBot1> DarkRedman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:40] <tacomaster> sacarlson: not trying to be rude in any way but i dont see how this is even hinting at fixing that i cant download from system > admin > hardware drivers
[04:40] <aemaeth> dist-upgrade is what i needed actually
[04:41] <glebihan> |multipass|: I don't think so
[04:41] <soulwarp> aemaeth, that's what I figured
[04:41] <Izinucs> |multipass|: kate should do that.. but it's a kde editor and will pull some dependancies
[04:42] <badnaam> can someone help with a ssh issue please http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3827331/strange-ssh-issues-with-github.
[04:42] <sacarlson> tacomaster: I saw many errors in that log I'm not sure.  but it seems some people get different drivers to work with that device as reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/376259
[04:42] <aemaeth> so when i have .21-.25 of the generic thing i'm upgrading now, how do i get rid of the old ones? autoremove seems to have done nothing, like goggles
[04:42] <Izinucs> badnaam: you might also ask in #linux and/or #ubuntu-server
[04:43] <sacarlson> tacomaster: so I guess you would have to black list all but one at a time to hope to find the driver that works for you
[04:43] <DarkRedman> who can help me if I share screen view ?
[04:43] <Izinucs> aemaeth: if you know what the full file name is then sudo apt-get remove --purge <file name>
[04:43] <glebihan> DarkRedman: start by explaining your problem
[04:44] <aemaeth> kk Izinucs
[04:44] <DarkRedman> I try to chroot my main ubuntu (I installed a ubuntu instead of to use LiveCD to repair my Ubuntu) my .Private folder is erased I try to chroot first to use ecryptfs then
[04:44] <DarkRedman> I try to do first a grub update but it doesn't work
[04:45] <DarkRedman> Anyway I would like to repair my Ubuntu
[04:46] <glebihan> DarkRedman: you have to run grub-install first
[04:47] <DarkRedman> glebihan: even if it's already installed ?!
[04:48] <glebihan> DarkRedman: well if you changed you master hard drive, you have to install grub on the new one
[04:49] <DarkRedman> My main Ubuntu doesn't detect hard drives :s
[04:50] <Dawgmatix> anyway to plot per process memory usage on ubuntu?
[04:50] <glebihan> DarkRedman: btw with did you choose to install a new ubuntu rather than using a live CD to repair your system ?
[04:50] <glebihan> Dawgmatix: top
[04:50] <tacomaster> is anyone know how to add a program like nautilus-share to lubuntu so i can do network shareing to my other linux computers
[04:50] <tacomaster> does*
[04:50] <DarkRedman> Because LiveCD lag so much and is not up to date
[04:51] <DarkRedman> and I can't make a LiveUSB
[04:51] <Dawgmatix> glebihan - i am looking for something that allows me to see a graph
[04:51] <Dawgmatix> afaik top just shows instantaneous values
[04:51] <DarkRedman> I spent  hours to try to make a LiveUSB I finally tried to install a new ubuntu just for repairing the main one
[04:51] <glebihan> Dawgmatix: yes you're right, sorry no idea
[04:52] <DarkRedman> so if anyone could help me using grub-install with a VNC sharing
[04:52] <DarkRedman> because I don't arrive to do it
[04:53] <pseudosudo> Hi does anyone know how to move a ubuntu partition?
[04:53] <AbhiJit> pseudosudo, use gparted
[04:54] <soulwarp> pseudosudo, only use gparted when the drives are not mounted. I do it under live CD
[04:55] <Ivis> ok i feel dumb i just cant add to panel volume controlel
[04:55] <Ivis> how do i do it ? :D
[04:55] <DarkRedman> Who could help me please ?!
[04:56] <DaveWM> anybody use GRUB_CMDLINE...blah=".. with "nosplash text" as parameter on maverick ?  after doing update-rc.d -f gdm remove,  and plymouth remove,   apt-get remove gdm,    during bootup,  short before it goes to text login,  the screen still flashes a splash for a second,  display changes in some way
[04:56] <DaveWM> i'm trying to figure out what it is that's doing that
[04:57] <Izinucs> DaveWM: #ubuntu+1 for maverick
[04:58] <DarkRedman> ...
[04:58] <pLr> DaveWM: what do you want to do?
[04:59] <DaveWM> pLr : well i want to disable any form of splash from coming up and also to have a text login,  i've got several systems with an  ubuntu desktop,  two of them with nvidia current drivers installed,  for some reason it gets stuck on that splash every other reboot or so,  seemingly random
[05:00] <DaveWM> i figure its got something to do with plymouth,  but i'm not sure about that either tbh
[05:01] <vic20gmr> i know im often abit chatty, but to suspect me of being a flood "bot", well i never!
[05:01] <vic20gmr> anyway, is it illeagal for usa residents to install/use gstreamer?
[05:01] <pseudosudo> AbhiJit, the problem is that I had Windows XP installed before and I installed ubuntu after. I decided to turn my system into just a ubuntu system so I deleted my Windows XP Partition. What I'm left with is "Unallocated" empty space before my ubuntu partition that I can't grow/merge to
[05:01] <pLr> DaveWM: did u empty /etc/X11/default-display-manager ?
[05:01] <Dulak> vic20gmr: they assume you're guilty until you prove otherwise
[05:02] <pseudosudo> So I'm guessing my other option is to make a new partition and move it all over
[05:02] <vic20gmr> ?
[05:02] <AbhiJit> pseudosudo, you can grow ubuntu partition to taht empty space using gparted
[05:02] <four2zero> hello to all, i have an existing samba server running on ubuntu-server 10.4 and i have installed jolicloud on a acer netbook, and would like to give it access to the files on that server, how can i make this work ?
[05:02] <AbhiJit> pseudosudo, you must use live cd for this task
[05:02] <DarkRedman> What I can doo ?!
[05:02] <AbhiJit> pseudosudo, you can do this while you are running ubuntu
[05:02] <AbhiJit> e
[05:02] <pseudosudo> AbhiJit, yes i've been using the live CD. Apparently you cannot grow to unallocated space that is "before" the ubuntu partition
[05:03] <pseudosudo> I do not have the option
[05:03] <AbhiJit> pseudosudo, you can move that space after the ubuntu
[05:03] <Aemaeth> after sudo apt-get dist-upgrade it only boots into grub menu :(((
[05:03] <vic20gmr> Dulak, is it illeagal in usa or not?
[05:03] <insta> has anyone been having that "unkillable dpkg" problem in lucid?
[05:04] <pseudosudo> AbhiJit, I am not getting options to do that? How do I move the unallocated space?
[05:04] <Aemaeth> why would dist-upgrade kill my entire grub and how do i get it back?
[05:04] <four2zero> hello to all, i have an existing samba server running on ubuntu-server 10.4 and i have installed jolicloud on a acer netbook, and would like to give it access to the files on that server, how can i make this work ?
[05:04] <isaac__> Right.

[05:04] <Izinucs> Aemaeth: that happened to me because of a kernel update.. do this full line in one shot and reboot when done.. see if it fixes it.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:05] <vic20gmr> is it illeagal for usa residents to install/use gstreamer?
[05:05] <Aemaeth> Izinucs, i need to get into linux to do that
[05:05] <Izinucs> vic20gmr: I use it.. so far the software police haven't caught me.
[05:05] <AbhiJit> pseudosudo, first unmount both. then useing mouse drag the ubuntu partition to the unallocated space manually it will take ages depending on size of ubuntu partition then you will be able to increase ubuntu partition to taht right side unallocated space
[05:06] <vic20gmr> good for u, but that is an answer to another question
[05:06]  * AbhiJit reports Izinucs to FBI
[05:06] <vic20gmr> heh
[05:06] <AbhiJit> :P
[05:06] <four2zero> gstreamer is opensource
[05:06] <four2zero> hello to all, i have an existing samba server running on ubuntu-server 10.4 and i have installed jolicloud on a acer netbook, and would like to give it access to the files on that server, how can i make this work ?
[05:06] <pseudosudo> AbhiJit, thanks I'll try it now
[05:06] <Izinucs> Aemaeth: wait.. killed your grub? ouch.. shouldn't have.. you'll have to chroot with a live cd to fix.. but I don't have the knowledge to do that from memory.
[05:06] <CyberRat> pseudosudo and backup first
[05:06] <AbhiJit> pseudosudo, hmm
[05:07] <AbhiJit> pseudosudo, how much is your ubutu partition size
[05:07] <pseudosudo> CyberRate and AbhiJit, Yes I already imaged my ubuntu partition to another HDD just incase. But the funny thing is when I try to boot off that hard disk, ubuntu does not boot up. Something about UUID
[05:07] <vic20gmr> four2zero, is ilegal for a usa resident to use it?
[05:07] <Aemaeth> Izinucs, i tried manually booting my image, but it said 'No kernal found"
[05:07] <AbhiJit> pseudosudo, hmm backup is important in such operations.
[05:07] <CyberRat> 2 partitions with same UUID :)
[05:07] <four2zero> yes, its legal for us resident to use
[05:07] <four2zero> opensource is free to use.
[05:08] <Izinucs> Aemaeth: if it's a grub issue that would make sense.. it doesn't know where to find the kernel.
[05:08] <rww> four2zero apparently doesn't know about software patents.
[05:08] <Aemaeth> so i can't manually get it in this grub menu shell thing i have?
[05:08] <pseudosudo> CyberRat, no no I disable my Original HDD before booting the backup one
[05:08] <CyberRat> k
[05:08] <vic20gmr> rww, i take it it *is* ilegal for usa resident to use?
[05:08] <rww> vic20gmr: ask a lawyer. If I cared about things like your question, I wouldn't trust random people from the internet.
[05:09] <Aemaeth> rww, all the best legal advice comes from irc or 4chan
[05:09] <four2zero> why would it be illegal for a us resident to use....?
[05:09] <Izinucs> Aemaeth: if it dumped you to a grub shell then I'll have ubottu send a link. do you know if you're using grub 1 or 2.. fresh install of 10.04 would put grub2 on
[05:09] <four2zero> explain if you can ?
[05:09] <vic20gmr> u pointed out sw patents, i c that as a sign u *might* know what *U* r talking about
[05:09] <AbhiJit> !ot
[05:09] <rww> four2zero: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[05:09] <CyberRat> pseudosudo oh a different UUID them mtab sais
[05:09] <Aemaeth> Izinucs, it was xubuntu all updated
[05:09] <Izinucs> Aemaeth: 10.04?
[05:10] <CyberRat> you have to replace the new UUID in mtab
[05:10] <Izinucs> fstab
[05:10] <vic20gmr> rww, u pointed out sw patents, i c that as a sign u *might* know what *U* r talking about
[05:10] <Aemaeth> Izinucs, yes, as long as that's on the lastest xubuntu iso
[05:10] <CyberRat> oops fstab yes
[05:10] <Izinucs> Aemaeth: ok..
[05:10] <insta> vic20gmr: are you paying by the character on IRC?
[05:10] <four2zero> GStreamer is released under the LGPL. The 0.10 series is API and ABI stable.
[05:10] <Izinucs> !grub2 | Aemaeth
[05:10] <|multipass|> is there any way to get dual views in Gedit??
[05:10] <Izinucs> no
[05:10] <aleak> just testing...
[05:11] <CyberRat> gedit sucks
[05:11] <CyberRat> try vi :)
[05:11] <insta> has anyone had problems with dpkg/aptitude freezing on lucid?  mine keeps zombieing and it's really a problem :(
[05:11] <four2zero> hello to all, i have an existing samba server running on ubuntu-server 10.4 and i have installed jolicloud on a acer netbook, and would like to give it access to the files on that server, how can i make this work ?
[05:12] <CyberRat> anyone knows a good opensource DMS for home/private use?
[05:12] <DarkRedman> Who could help me using VNC Client ?!
[05:12] <Izinucs> CyberRat: DMS?
[05:12] <DarkRedman> I've a huge problem since 5 days about repairing encrypted data with ecryptfs
[05:12] <CyberRat> Izinucs document-management-system
[05:12] <DarkRedman> It's really important for my work
[05:13] <CyberRat> DarkRedman they may hire me
[05:13] <four2zero> hello to all, i have an existing samba server running on ubuntu-server 10.4 and i have installed jolicloud on a acer netbook, and would like to give it access to the files on that server, how can i make this work ?
[05:14] <DarkRedman> What do you mean CyberRat ?!
[05:14] <pseudosudo> CyberRate, I have no idea what fstab is
[05:14] <pseudosudo> I will look it up now
[05:14] <CyberRat> sudo nano /etc/fstab
[05:14] <CyberRat> its where your mounts are set
[05:14] <Izinucs> CyberRat: ah.. there's several.. KnowledgeTree is one that comes to mind that is pretty much enterprise level
[05:15] <pseudosudo> Ok thanks CyberRat.
[05:15] <CyberRat> Izinucs yea i seen a few, i think i go try some in vbox before stuffing my main setup
[05:15] <Izinucs> CyberRat: always a good idea :)
[05:16] <pseudosudo> CyberRate, let's say I have my hard drive set up like this:   [ntfs(winXP) partition] [ubuntu Partition] .  Is it possible to switch them around?
[05:16] <DarkRedman> CyberRat: ...
[05:17] <Izinucs> pseudosudo: windows likes to be first.. and ubuntu takes a minumum of 2 partitions
[05:17] <insta> ubuntu only needs one parition
[05:17] <insta> partition**
[05:17] <Izinucs> insta: 2.. one for root and /home and then a separate /swap
[05:18] <insta> no it doesn't
[05:18] <insta> just needs /
[05:18] <CyberRat> DarkRedman hire me to fix stuff at your work
[05:18] <insta> it'll run without swap or you can use a swapfile
[05:18] <DarkRedman> "hire" ?!
[05:18] <Izinucs> insta: ok.. symantics.. you have to force swap off.. for your average user a fresh install will always include /swap.
[05:18] <CyberRat> uhm
[05:18] <pseudosudo> AbhiJit, I just loaded up ubuntu live again and opened gedit, I stil can't draw any of the partitions around..
[05:20] <insta> i'm just mad that my machine is broken >: ( so i'm being pedantic
[05:20] <CyberRat> DarkRedman yea pay me and such to fix stuff :)
[05:20] <DarkRedman> to pay ?! no sorry
[05:20] <DarkRedman> only canonical for that
[05:20] <CyberRat> DarkRedman well your boss earns witht he fix
[05:20] <pseudosudo> Ok since I can't move the partitions around. Can somebody just tell me how I get my unallocated space into my ubuntu??? This is how it is set up right now: HDD:    [windowsXP ntfs] [unallocated space 25GB] [ubuntu lucid ext3]
[05:20] <DarkRedman> boss ?!
[05:20] <DarkRedman> which boss ?!
[05:20] <CyberRat> you said it was for work
[05:20] <DarkRedman> yes
[05:20] <DarkRedman> i'm my own boss
[05:20] <CyberRat> IC
[05:21] <DarkRedman> autoentrepeneur
[05:21] <DarkRedman> sorry for my english
[05:21] <Agent001> Do people have connection issues playing chess on yahoo.com on Ubuntu distro?
[05:21] <sebikul> pseudosudo: boot using the liveCD, open gparted and resize the partition you want, it's that easy
[05:22] <mtk31> hi all
[05:22] <pseudosudo> sebikul.... I tried that many times
[05:22] <pseudosudo> It won't allow me to resize to the unallocated space because it is BEFORE the ubuntu partition
[05:23] <pseudosudo> If it's that easy I wouldn't be here.. thx anyway
[05:23] <DarkRedman> who could help me for chrooting ?!
[05:23] <mtk31> can someone please help me with openoffice'
[05:23] <DarkRedman> mtk31: what's the issue with openoffice ?!
[05:23] <sebikul> have you tried format a new partition using all the unallocated space?
[05:24] <Geoffrey2> ok, that was generally annoying
[05:24] <dendrite> pseudosudo: thats happened to me before. i just reinstalled everything :/ not what you wanna hear, but...i fixed it
[05:24] <mtk31> i want to know if it is possible insert date or time with something line ctrl shift ; or : like in excel
[05:24] <aleak> ?
[05:24] <mtk31> the current date or time i mean
[05:25] <DualProxy> pseudosudo: if you don't already have 4 primary partitions, format it and just have it auto mount.
[05:25] <glebihan> mtk31: try #Openoffice.org
[05:25] <pseudosudo> sebikul, yes I did. I formatted the unallocated empty space into ext4 (same as my ubuntu) to see if I can merge it. No luck.
[05:26] <mtk31> ok ty glebihan :)
[05:26] <glebihan> pseudosudo: you cannot merge partitions
[05:26] <DarkRedman> Who could help me to chroot a ubuntu partition to fix it ?
[05:26] <sebikul> pseudosudo, try to use less MB that the total size, maybe ~50 mb
[05:28] <amagee> hey i'm trying to run a server on a new port (eg. 9999), but i suspect my firewall is blocking nonstandard ports.  how can i find out if a firewall is installed and what it's doing?
[05:28] <pseudosudo> sebikul, try to use less MB for what? When I make a new partition?
[05:28] <nkdoodwal> help me in installing drupal
[05:29] <glebihan> pseudosudo: what prevents you from moving/resizing the partition ? do you get any error message ?
[05:29] <sebikul> yes, try to format a new partition using TOTALSPACE-50mb, but do it in ext3
[05:29] <DualProxy> pseudosudo: make a folder in /media, and mount that partition to the folder. done you now have that space free to use.
[05:29] <glebihan> nkdoodwal: try #drupal
[05:30] <nkdoodwal> join /#drupal
[05:30] <DarkRedman> Who could help me via VNC to chroot a partition to fix the main issue (encryptfs problem)
[05:30] <DarkRedman> ?
[05:30] <sebikul> DualProxy, that space is not formated , it can not be mounted until its done
[05:30] <DualProxy> he said it was formated in ext4
[05:30] <glebihan> nkdoodwal: type "/join #drupal"
[05:30] <sebikul> he couldn't format it
[05:31] <DualProxy>  pseudosudo> sebikul, yes I did. I formatted the unallocated empty space into ext4 (same as my ubuntu) to see   (Reading database ... 135788 files and directories currently installed.) if I can merge it. No luck.
[05:31] <DarkRedman> I need some help to chroot a partition please
[05:32] <DualProxy> sorry, did not mean to post it all. =P new to irssi.
[05:33] <sebikul> LOL, no problem. read the last two words, he couldn't finish the process
[05:34] <etheretic> 'lo :
[05:34] <pseudosudo> nkdoodwal, when I go to resize/move on my ubuntu partition, it does not show any unallocated space
[05:34] <pseudosudo> it just shows my ubuntu partition as full, and i can shrink it
[05:34] <pseudosudo> no option to move
[05:34] <glebihan> pseudosudo: could you pastebin a screenshot of your gparted window ?
[05:35] <r0z4> hi somebody can give a link about the extract package

[05:40] <glebihan> pseudosudo: ok I see you have an extended partition
[05:40] <pseudosudo> I can't drag anything at all, if you're planning to tell me to do so
[05:40] <pseudosudo> glebihan, is that a good thing or bad thing?
[05:40] <glebihan> pseudosudo: you'll have to resize the extended partition first
[05:41] <glebihan> pseudosudo: neither bad nor good, just adds an operation to do
[05:41] <pseudosudo> glebihan, I have no option to resize the extended partition. Resizing/moving is grayed out.
[05:41] <ncxcude> hello.. :)
[05:41] <glebihan> pseudosudo: /dev/sda5 is mounted, right ?
[05:41] <pseudosudo> nope, it's booting from a live CD right now
[05:42] <CyberRat> pseudosudo and your disk is unmounted?
[05:42] <pseudosudo> yes
[05:42] <pseudosudo> wait
[05:42] <CyberRat> ok
[05:42] <pseudosudo> how do i check?
[05:42] <glebihan> pseudosudo: or maybe your partition is

[05:44] <pseudosudo> Thanks everyone!!
[05:44] <glebihan> pseudosudo: you're welcome
[05:44] <slacker-> Izinucs: /names
[05:45] <pseudosudo> took me two hours.... when it was this simple...
[05:45] <Izinucs> slacker-: thanks
[05:46] <pseudosudo> sebikul, sorry for doubting you. All I really needed was just gparted.
[05:46] <etheretic> Can anyone help me resolve an apparent dns issue?
[05:46] <sebikul> pseudosudo: no problem, i didn't know either that swap was automounted ;)
[05:48] <pseudosudo> Ok thanks for everything guys. Now I have a new problem.. My grub menu disappeared... There is probably an easy way to repair this through the LiveCD. Anybody know how from the top of their head?

[05:49] <pseudosudo> sebikul, thanks. Thought it'd be more complicated
[05:49] <itsux2bu> does ubuntu run on something like this? http://www.newegg.com/Special/ShellShocker.aspx?nm_mc=EMC-SD092010&cm_mmc=EMC-SD092010-_-SD092810-_-item-_-singleitem
[05:49] <Spyzer> i mean just any resource
[05:49] <CyberRat> Spyzer what utils?
[05:50] <CyberRat> Spyzer basic bash commands?
[05:50] <sebikul> itsux2bu: sure it will, what i can not ensure you is that the hardware will be fully compatible
[05:50] <Spyzer> not just basic all of them which come preinstalled
[05:50] <DualProxy> Anyone want to take a crack at my questions? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9906177#post9906177
[05:50] <Spyzer> like grep etc

[05:51] <ncxcude> help please? wine problem... and how to upgrade ubuntu 10.04 - ubuntu 10.10 :)
[05:51] <maco> !10.10 | ncxcude
[05:51] <CyberRat> ncxcude maybe wait till the final release?
[05:51] <glebihan> ncxcude: your upgrade question should go to #ubuntu+1
[05:52] <itsux2bu> sebikul, what hardware..?  that box is just cpu, ram and ports
[05:53] <itsux2bu> is an intel Atom CPU supported by ubuntu?
[05:53] <spinningcompass> itsux2bu: Yes.
[05:53] <ncxcude> ok.. not the upgrade? but how to make wine works... im install MS Office 2007 and wine is not response anything. any sugesstion?
[05:53] <sebikul> exactly, not all features of the cpu or other included pieces may be able to work 100%, they may have some features disabled
[05:53] <itsux2bu> ram is ram.. hard drives are generic..
[05:54] <glebihan> ncxcude: you have about no chance to make ms office work with wine...
[05:54] <sebikul> ncxcide, to upgrade just run #update-manager -d
[05:54] <itsux2bu> usb thumb drives are generic..
[05:55] <CyberRat> !coffee
[05:55] <ncxcude> sebikul, update for ubuntu new realese or wine?
[05:55] <icarus-c> glebihan, ncxcude: i'm running ms office 2007 with wine
[05:55] <sebikul> ubuntu 10.10
[05:55] <glebihan> icarus-c: really ?
[05:55] <icarus-c> ncxcude, just follow the instructions on ms office 2007 page at wine app db
[05:55] <glebihan> icarus-c: wouldn't have thought it'd be possible
[05:55] <icarus-c> glebihan, limited functionality though, but all i use works fine
 thanks for the bash commands any list of gui utils default in ubuntu??
[05:56] <glebihan> icarus-c: good to know
[05:56] <sebikul> itsux2bu its not just ram, it has to support the video card (and have its drivers) the audio card, the ethernet port, usb, etc
[05:56] <icarus-c> glebihan, and access doesn't work afaik
[05:56] <DarkRedman> Hi again
[05:56] <itsux2bu> audio is realtek.. which is very generic..
[05:57] <DarkRedman> I'm on webchat again because the password is unknown and I can't install anything !
[05:57] <ncxcude> icarus-c, the main problem of my wine is, wine1.2 it doesn't respone any .exe file? just blink my destop and do nothing...
[05:57] <DarkRedman> I need help to fix ecryptfs on my main Ubuntu
[05:57] <glebihan> icarus-c: i would probably not have believed you if you told me access was working ;)
[05:58] <icarus-c> ncxcude, um... what exe are they and how to use wine?
[05:58] <icarus-c> ncxcude, like install the app with wine from scratch?
[05:58] <itsux2bu> sebikul, Intel GMA 3150   sounds very generic
[05:58] <DarkRedman> I forgot the link for chrooting
[05:59] <sebikul> itsux2bu you will find out once you test it ;)
[05:59] <itsux2bu> so sebikul, the only real question is the built-in network card

[06:00] <slacker-> anyone experienced with mdadm, please? trying to recover a degraded array with read errors

[06:03] <TheEvilPhoenix> i'm in a LiveUSB image now
[06:03] <TheEvilPhoenix> how do I reinstall grub
[06:04] <icarus-c> ncxcude, maybe " mv ~/.wine  ~/wine.bak "  and try some known platium win32 app with wine?
[06:04] <glebihan> TheEvilPhoenix: look at grub-install
[06:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> glebihan: ran grub-install /dev/sda and i got this: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[06:05] <Datz> humm, so it would seem ubuntu is sticking with the mac style theme
[06:05] <Datz> as far as window buttons are concerned
[06:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> Datz: its changeable
[06:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> !buttons | Datz
[06:06] <TheEvilPhoenix> oops
[06:06] <TheEvilPhoenix> nevermind
[06:06] <Datz> hehe
[06:06] <icarus-c> TheEvilPhoenix, grub-install --recheck /dev/sda  #maybe
[06:06] <Datz> I didn't know if they were going to stick with that..
[06:06] <icarus-c> TheEvilPhoenix, you should have chrooted to your install before hand
[06:06] <Datz> guess they want to try to win some mac users or something
[06:06] <glebihan> TheEvilPhoenix: try using the --root-directory option
[06:07] <Datz> !mac

[06:07] <ncxcude> icarus-c, Hey it works! thanks... :D
[06:07] <icarus-c> Datz, you could change those button layout with a single command
[06:07] <icarus-c> Datz, or change theme
[06:08] <Datz> icarus-c: yea. ;)

[06:09] <nhorning1> had a team take it away and the battery ran out
[06:09] <glebihan> TheEvilPhoenix: it should have
[06:09] <icarus-c> TheEvilPhoenix, yes, you put grub to MBR, and then chainload Windows boot loader on windows' partition
[06:09] <nhorning1> No when I try to boot through grub I get "no init found. Try passing init= bootarg
[06:09] <nhorning1> also, I can't boot with live usb stick
[06:09] <nhorning1> says it can't find sda
[06:10] <icarus-c> itsux2bu, i don't get what you mean?  like  ubuntu minimal ?
[06:10] <nhorning1> ack srry, I'll try and keep it all on the same line from now on
[06:10] <pseudosudo> If I want to host a file server or any other server or something, what's the best file system for this or what's the best file system in general? ext4 / ntfs ??
[06:10] <sunky> can i install mint and ubuntu both from windows together?
[06:10] <LinXz> does anyone know about a good web page that could teach me how to configure my networking - and it has to be as easy to understand, as children books with a lot of pictures; I am terribly slow at this, to be honest
[06:10] <techbreak> hi all please help in installation of ubuntu in a compaq system
[06:10] <techbreak> I dont have any partition.. but only c and a recovery partition
[06:11] <techbreak> how can I make partition without deleting it? I dont wanna loose window
[06:11] <techbreak> please suggset
[06:11] <TheEvilPhoenix> techbreak: you can resize partitions
[06:11] <icarus-c> techbreak, easy, shrink that partition then create some new partitions
[06:12] <LinXz> my irc-client died :P
[06:12] <nhorning1> Is anybody here dealing with me, or was that just a bot that asked for details?
[06:12] <TheEvilPhoenix> glebihan: icarus-c:  do I need to define which partiton gets teh boot flag?
[06:12] <xe> useful to use defrag first on the windows partition... to put all the data at the start.
[06:12] <icarus-c> TheEvilPhoenix, Windows need that i think. but linux doesn't
[06:12] <TheEvilPhoenix> nhorning1: a user used the bot's factoids to facilitate transferring information
[06:12] <techbreak> TheEskimo, icarus-c ,how can i resize partition without affecting the available files?
[06:12] <TheEvilPhoenix> icarus-c: so i don't need to redefine which gets the boot flag to use the boot loader?
[06:12] <glebihan> TheEvilPhoenix: I don't think so (none of mine have that flag)
[06:12] <TheEvilPhoenix> s/boot\ loader/grub/
[06:13] <TheEvilPhoenix> okay after my partitions resize i'll reboot (seems 100MB got left behind in the install as unallocated space x])
[06:13] <icarus-c> techbreak, you could use your favourite partitioning tool on Windows (actually Windows Vista and above got built in resize function)   and ubuntu's installer should have resize function too if i remember correctly
[06:13] <icarus-c> TheEvilPhoenix, just leave it
[06:13] <Sterist> how does btrFS compare to ext4 on a scale of -5 to +5 ?
[06:13] <nhorning1> right, so I'm just wondering if there is anyone available to help
[06:13] <icarus-c> TheEvilPhoenix, since it worked before, right?
[06:13] <razz1> using virtualbox, I am trying to setup a wireless printer in XP guest( with IP 10.0.x.x), it's already connected in ad hoc mode (directly without a router) to the Ubuntu host. How do I get XP to print to the wireless printer (IP 169.254.x.x).
[06:13] <icarus-c> Sterist, btrfs isn't even stable yet
[06:14] <pseudosudo> Hey, can anyone tell me what's the best file system and why?
[06:14] <TheEvilPhoenix> icarus-c: i didnt have windows before... so ubuntu had the boot flag
[06:14] <techbreak> icarus-c, what is that tool? is it default in window viesta? please tell me. I am a beginner
[06:14] <Sterist> icarus-c its going to be in 10.10
[06:14] <icarus-c> Sterist, if you can stand data lose or file system corruption or any crap, go btrfs
[06:14] <Sterist> lo
[06:14] <Sterist> lol'
[06:15] <nhorning1> glebihan: did you want my details personally? or were you just saying that in general
[06:15] <rww> Sterist: It's still not as stable as I'd like. I don't plan on using it for a while.
[06:15] <icarus-c> Sterist, not sure how btrfs status is currently, but at least 10.10 will be shipping a newer linux kernel
[06:15] <itsux2bu> ok.. i recently stumbled upon these ultra low-end bare bones boxes from Foxconn and MSI with intel atom CPUs..  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119027 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883152008.. which are even cheapter than netbooks.. and a great way to get my toes into *nix..  but has "ubuntu" tested any of these type of units and provide an
[06:15] <itsux2bu> approved list?
[06:15] <FloodBot1> itsux2bu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:15] <Sterist> yes, 2.6.35
[06:15] <glebihan> nhorning1: that was a general remark, you're more likely to get help if you ask a precise question
[06:15] <sebikul> pseudosudo, the best one right now is ext3, ext4 is experimental and can produce data loss
[06:15] <apple_cat> Hi, I'm trying to get a elantech touchpad working on my laptop (ASUS ul 30). Could someone help me out with this? So far I have tried to enable the shmconfig option in xorg.conf but that stops my system from booting
[06:15] <xe> techbreak ... defrag your harddrive in windows. put in ubuntu disc... choose install ... this should enable you to resize the parition and install ubuntu on it. (leaving windows in place)
[06:16] <rww> itsux2bu: http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/
[06:16] <rww> !hcl | itsux2bu
[06:16] <icarus-c> techbreak, in vista, first do a disk defrag (this allow you to shrink more space), then go  Disk management and click a bit you could resize the partition. for detail you better ask in ##windows
[06:16] <techbreak> but I have only c drive in my laptop. if i do partition wont i loose it?
[06:17] <slacker-> anyone experienced with mdadm, please? trying to recover a clean,degraded raid5 with read errors
[06:17] <icarus-c> techbreak, you have to shrink it to give space for new partitions, right?
[06:17] <nhorning1> glebihan: Well, anyway to get someones attention? because I typed out the details but I'm not sure if anyone noticed.
[06:17] <pseudosudo> sebikul, so if I was just to build a simple file server or something like that I should use ext3?
[06:17] <techbreak> icarus-c, i have alot of free space in c drive
[06:18] <techbreak> icarus-c, i44 out of 287 gb is free for me :)
[06:18] <icarus-c> techbreak, well, but the "C" partition span across the whole disk (besides Recover partition) right?
[06:18] <Sterist> apple_cat you are unable to use the mouse at all?
[06:18] <nhorning1> I'll try again, no init found
[06:18] <techbreak> icarus-c, now how do i separate 100 gb for ubuntu ?
[06:18] <nhorning1> "no init found" can anyone help with that?
[06:18] <icarus-c> techbreak, but any partitioning operation has a risk (although very low),  backup your important data before hand
[06:18] <techbreak> icarus-c, yeah beside recovery partition i have only c partition
[06:18] <icarus-c> techbreak, 100GB for ubuntu is way too much..........
[06:18] <Subdolus> 'evening all
[06:18] <sebikul> pseudosudo: yeah, that would be the best choice
[06:18] <icarus-c> techbreak, ubuntu itself typically use <15GB
[06:18] <aroman> What happens when a linux version gets EOL'd?
[06:19] <icarus-c> aroman, no more updates for it
[06:19] <techbreak> icarus-c, i mean 20 gb for ubuntu and a new partition for my data 80 gb
[06:19] <icarus-c> aroman, from Linux or the distro
[06:19] <Sterist> and repositories go offline, right?
[06:19] <rww> !eol
[06:19] <rww> Sterist: They get moved off the mirrors to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com
[06:19] <pseudosudo> sebikul, If I added another hard drive and formatted it entirely to ext3, is there anyway I can like auto-mount it or something on start up. Or treat it as a part of my current drive, like another folder or something?
[06:19] <icarus-c> techbreak, yea so shrink 100GB from C drive
[06:20] <aroman> icarus-c, Other than that? Like what happens to the repos?
[06:20] <Sterist> rww ooh i searched like hell for that answer a while ago lol
[06:20] <icarus-c> techbreak, a quick google search give me this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/
[06:20] <techbreak> icarus-c, you mean i put the ubuntu installation cd. select install and then when disk partition comes i separate 20 gb from there?
[06:20] <Sterist> rww so would you have to manually add that URL to software sources?
[06:20] <icarus-c> techbreak, but of course i don't gurantee anything, don't blame me if anything goes wrong :P
[06:20] <itsux2bu> whats  remix?  that different the LiveUSB?
[06:21] <Subdolus> I have a simple bash script to run an rsync backup daily with cron... The receiving machine does not have X, but I really want to somehow force the script to magically appear on my console when it runs automatically by cron
[06:21] <sebikul> pseudosudo, have a look at this docs (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive) (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab)
[06:21] <techbreak> icarus-c, that made me sacre
[06:21] <icarus-c> techbreak, make very sure you do partitioning before installing
[06:21] <rww> Sterist: Preferably, you'd follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades and move to something supported.
[06:21] <Subdolus> is there any way to do that? set up a cron job for a script, that will appear on the console
[06:21] <icarus-c> techbreak, well, as all software license states that the software comes with absolutely no guarantee  :P
[06:21] <Subdolus> with screen maybe?
[06:21] <techbreak> icarus-c, i will surely do partitioning but i am afraid if i loose windows
[06:22] <gbear14275> I just updated my kernel to -25 and I got the following messages during the removal of my -24 kernel files...  Can anyone tell me whats up with them?  http://pastebin.com/LjMaq1Hw
[06:22] <Sterist> rww my ps3 is running ubuntu 9.10 and it doesnt seem to like 10.04, so it's going to EOL ;)
[06:22] <icarus-c> techbreak, it should be safe. otherwise Vista wouldn't have a built in resize function right? :)
[06:22] <aroman> Subdolus, I too have wondered about that .. I'd be very interested in how that would work.
[06:22] <icarus-c> techbreak, and just make sure you don't tell ubuntu to overwrite windows, you will be fine
[06:22] <techbreak> icarus-c, ok one question. what if i delete the recovery drive and put ubuntu there?
[06:22] <Subdolus> aroman: how awesome would it be
[06:22] <techbreak> icarus-c, i wont do that.. :) :)
[06:23] <gbear14275> mainly these three lines I see repeated when update-grub runs... File descriptor 40 (/var/lib/apt-xapian-index/index.2/postlist.DB) leaked on lvs invocation. Parent PID 3760: /bin/sh
[06:23] <icarus-c> techbreak, i guess that recovery partition is some OEM stuff that let you do 1-key recovery or stuff like that.  so if you interrupt it you may lose that functionality
[06:23] <Subdolus> something like "firefox --display:0:0" or whatever that switch is, for sending an app to X
[06:23] <gbear14275> File descriptor 42 (pipe:[12986]) leaked on lvs invocation. Parent PID 3760: /bin/sh
[06:23] <gbear14275> File descriptor 44 (/var/log/apt/term.log) leaked on lvs invocation. Parent PID 3760: /bin/sh
[06:23] <Sterist> rww update manager fails and restores to previous state, and CD installer hangs at random points or randomly wont start
[06:23] <Subdolus> but without X
[06:23] <pehden> dumbest question ever  what do i type it term to see every drive as in what directory there linked to
[06:23] <aroman> Subdolus, Yup. I've got a script that basically "nudges" my ext. HDs every so often to prevent them from auto-sleeping, and I made it show a little log of its progress.. shame I can't see it :D
[06:23] <techbreak> icarus-c, but i wont loose windows right?
[06:23] <Sterist> rww with my laptop though, its no problemo :)
[06:24] <icarus-c> techbreak, 99%  No you won't lose windows
[06:24] <Subdolus> aroman: neat
[06:24] <pehden> like ifconfig shows all the network cards
[06:24] <Subdolus> that's another idea for my NAS heh, thatd be cool too
[06:24] <techbreak> icarus-c, why that 1% less?
[06:24] <pehden> whats the one for devices
[06:24] <nhorning1> ok back
[06:24] <rww> pehden: mount
[06:24] <Subdolus> pausewhile watching a movie sucks
[06:24] <Subdolus> pause while *
[06:25] <pehden> rww that shows the devices/drives
[06:25] <Sterist> techbreak deleting the recovery partition is extremely ill-advised
[06:25] <nhorning1> "No init found"  and for some reason I can't boot using a live usb
[06:25] <aroman> Subdolus, Actually, now that I think about it, I should rewrite it in python or something to throw in an OSD-Notify thing.
[06:25] <nhorning1> any takers?
[06:25] <pehden> rww thanks'
[06:25] <apple_cat> Sterist: No I can use the mouse it's just I can't adjust the settingss
[06:25] <icarus-c> techbreak, like there could be faulty disk, random error,  software bug, and other factor (like a power cut during resize operation..)
[06:25] <techbreak> Sterist, then please advie how do i do it?
[06:25] <aroman> Subdolus, you know it.. I steam 1080p from my computer over WiFi and the video freezes every so often for the damned spin down.. without my script.
[06:26] <icarus-c> techbreak, but i haven't failed any disk operation so far.
[06:26] <techbreak> icarus-c, power cut wont be a problem... i am in laptop
[06:26] <slacker-> any suggestions where I could ask for help with mdadm?
[06:26] <slacker-> irc preferably
[06:26] <Sterist> techbreak 1% less because there's always the off-chance that the planets will all align and create a 5x eclipse causing the moon to collide with earth and crash your hard drive... or something like that
[06:26] <icarus-c> techbreak, if you really don't feel comfortable... make a backup of the disk before hand.  or use a usb drive to install linux ?
[06:26] <icarus-c> techbreak, or use WUBI to install ubuntu inside windows?
[06:27] <aroman> techbreak, +1 for Wubi and backups.
[06:27] <shawnboy> After latest Update Manager updates, Firefox scrolls in slow motion. Anyone know how to fix this?
[06:27] <techbreak> aroman, icarus-c i dont want inside windows
[06:27] <techbreak> Sterist, hahaha good one
[06:27] <icarus-c> although i don't really like wubi much (problem tends to happen with wubi after a while..)
[06:27] <Sterist> apple_cat type " touch " in the software center and see if anything that comes up sounds fit for your problems
[06:27] <aroman> techbreak, Then you're not familiar with WUBI :) It doesn't install it _inside_ windows, it installs it nearly the same as dual boot.. you don't boot to windows to launch it and it runs at native speeds.
[06:28] <Sterist> wubi is trash. you get about 75% or less of your CPU's power towards ubuntu
[06:28] <Dulak> shawnboy: in firefox go to Edit->Preferences->Advanced and uncheck smooth scrolling
[06:28] <aroman> woah now
[06:28] <techbreak> aroman, I want it in separate partition...
[06:28] <aroman> are you talking from hands on exp?t
[06:28] <icarus-c> techbreak, afaik,  wubi make a image file inside your windows drive to install ubuntu there, modify windows boot loader to let it boot ubuntu too, then register wubi to Windows installed applications
[06:28] <aroman> techbreak, well then WUBI isn't the right move.
[06:29] <Sterist> techbreak, which windows are you using?
[06:29] <icarus-c> vista
[06:29] <nhorning1> Alright someone please let me know if the can help with "no init found"
[06:29] <techbreak> Sterist, viesta
[06:29] <EvilPhoenix> icarus-c:  i figured out something
[06:29] <icarus-c> EvilPhoenix, huh?
[06:29] <EvilPhoenix> icarus-c:  i needed to set the ubuntu partition to boot
[06:29] <EvilPhoenix> and update-grub from it
[06:29] <icarus-c> nhorning1, during kernel boot?
[06:29] <EvilPhoenix> icarus-c:  i'm TheEvilPhoenix
[06:30] <EvilPhoenix> x]
[06:30] <Sterist> techbreak hmm that makes things a little more complicated, have you checked how much space you have available to shrink your windows partition by?
[06:30] <shawnboy> Dulak, thanks. That seemed to help, although it makes me wonder why that is required. Either way, thanks for the tip.
[06:30] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I believe so
[06:30] <icarus-c> EvilPhoenix, oh really..
[06:30] <EvilPhoenix> icarus-c:  mhm
[06:30] <EvilPhoenix> leaving the Windows partition set it booted to that
[06:30] <Dulak> shawnboy: it's annoying to me too, first thing I turn off on a new firefox install
[06:30] <EvilPhoenix> and now Grub
[06:30] <nhorning1> icarus-c: there was a kernel panic this morning
[06:30] <apple_cat> Sterist: Sorry I don't understand what you mean, where is "software center"
[06:30] <icarus-c> nhorning1, did you mess with kernel parameter (specifically init= ) ?
[06:30] <EvilPhoenix> *shrugs*
[06:30] <EvilPhoenix> maybe its just being evil
[06:31] <techbreak> i have 144 gb of 287 gb free in c drive
[06:31] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I tried to pass init=bootarg
[06:31] <shawnboy> goodbye all.
[06:31] <techbreak> Sterist, i have 144 gb of 287 gb free in c drive
[06:31] <LinXz> apple_cat: it's in the Application menu
[06:31] <Sterist> apple_cat i use xubuntu, so under this desktop environment it's in "Applications" but still called Ubuntu Software Center
[06:31] <nhorning1> icarus-c: but thats it
[06:31] <icarus-c> nhorning1, well.... why did you do that
[06:31] <glebihan> nhorning1: sorry, system crashed, didn't see what you told me
[06:31] <sid> hi
[06:32] <icarus-c> nhorning1, init= specify the program to execute after kernel boot
[06:32] <Sterist> techbreak okay but have you used vista's device manager to check how much space it can be shrunk by?
[06:32] <techbreak> Sterist, no i dont know to do that
[06:32] <icarus-c> nhorning1, you know, after kernel boot,  kernel will pass to Init,  if Init fail (not found in your case),  kernel panic :)
[06:32] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I only did that after I got the error and it said try init=bootarg
[06:32] <Sterist> techbreak standby, i'll look up how to do that on vista
[06:33] <techbreak> Sterist, okei :)
[06:33] <icarus-c> nhorning1, i'm pretty sure you don't have  the program "bootarg" , hence init not found
[06:33] <nhorning1> glebihan: thanks, I've got "no init found" after grub
[06:33] <icarus-c> nhorning1, try remove the init option
[06:33] <nhorning1> icarus-c: in grub?
[06:33] <Sterist> techbreak for starters, open Start --> Control Panel
[06:33] <sid> i have install 10.04 when i restart machine it gives error kernel panic what is that
[06:34] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I'm not sure you understand what happened
[06:34] <icarus-c> nhorning1, yes?  or simply change it at boot time first.
[06:34] <techbreak> Sterist, go on
[06:34] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I didn't change anything before this problem happened
[06:34] <LinXz> has anyone had this problem: When using apt-get autoremove, it removes other packages (like Wine, that I am installing again now, because it was removed...)
[06:35] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I only tried passing init=bootarg after I got "No init found"
[06:35] <icarus-c> nhorning1, well but i know  "init=bootarg" is just wrong.
[06:35] <Sterist> techbreak found the page, 1sec while i find the area that tells how to check
[06:35] <nhorning1> icarus-c: yeah, so I'm not doing that anymore
[06:35] <icarus-c> nhorning1, that message is telling you to pass something  to   "init=" because kernel couldn't find  /sbin/init
[06:35] <apple_cat> Sterist: Ohh I'm on KDE and usually use aptitude or apt-get, there aren't any packages with 'touch' in the name that look like they will fix the problem. There are a few guides but the ones that are for newer versions of ubuntu say to add the 'shmconfig on' option into xorg.conf
[06:35] <icarus-c> but not meant to  ask you to enter  "init=bootarg"
[06:35] <techbreak> Sterist, sure... i am waiting
[06:36] <nhorning1> icarus-c: ok,  thanks
[06:36] <nhorning1> icarus-c: so what should I try doing?
[06:36] <icarus-c> nhorning1, did you change anything else for kernel parameter?
[06:36] <apple_cat> Sterist: Which would be fine, but there isn't one by defualt so I need to generate a working one and then add the option because just having an xorg.conf with one option seems to stop the computer from booting
[06:36] <Dulak> LinXz: use deborphan and manually remove deps, apt-get is not good with autoremove, for just the reason you stated
[06:36] <bluegoon> Hi guys, can Ubuntu Server be joined to a Windows domain?
[06:37] <icarus-c> nhorning1, it  is due to /sbin/init not found,  so i suppose there is a file system/disk error or  you pass a wrong "root" to kernel
[06:37] <sid> i have install 10.04 when i restart machine it gives error kernel panic what is that
[06:37] <sid> i have install 10.04 when i restart machine it gives error kernel panic what is that
[06:37] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I think it's a disk error
[06:37] <icarus-c> nhorning1, maybe start with doing a force disk check
[06:37] <maco> bluegoon: i think you need openldap to talk to AD, but you can double check in #ubuntu-server
[06:37] <maco> sid: its like a blue screen of death
[06:37] <LinXz> Dulak: Thanks! It's been a problem for me; installed programs are removed...
[06:37] <bluegoon> Thanks maco
[06:37] <icarus-c> nhorning1, fsck -f /dev/<your_disk>
[06:37] <nhorning1> icarus-c: ok, how do I do that
[06:37] <sid> maco so whats the solution
[06:37] <Sterist> apple_cat i'm not familiar with KDE at all :( sorry
[06:37] <icarus-c> nhorning1, boot with a live cd
[06:37] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I've tried that
[06:38] <vincent_ardern> does anyone know what software ubuntu brainstorm is based on?
[06:38] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I get a different error
[06:38] <Sterist> techbreak click Administrative Tools --> Disk Management Tool
[06:38] <Dulak> LinXz: yeah it's aggressive, with deborphan you can decide what really isn't needed anymore instead of letting apt-get decide for you
[06:38] <icarus-c> nhorning1, then  fsck  -f  all your ubuntu partitions
[06:38] <riya> i have install 10.04 when i restart machine it gives error kernel panic what is that
[06:38] <riya> i have install 10.04 when i restart machine it gives error kernel panic what is that
[06:38] <nhorning1> icarus-c: something about not being able to boot sda
[06:38] <Sterist> techbreak tell me when done
[06:38] <icarus-c> nhorning1, um. what error, when you get that?
[06:38] <EvilPhoenix> riya:  it means that the kernel is broken
[06:38] <icarus-c> nhorning1, um when you boot with a livecd, it should matter even you don't have a disk
[06:38] <nhorning1> icarus-c: somthing about not being able to boot sda
[06:38] <nhorning1> icarus-c: tell me about it
[06:39] <maco> riya: figure out what bit of hardware it doesnt like and get rid of it?  i mean it could just not like the combo of your bios and 4gb of ram (yes ive seen that) in which case yanking out a stick of ram could do it... or it could be dying hardware... or a bad driver... dunno. you'll have to experiment
[06:39] <EvilPhoenix> riya:  or that at some point a dependency of the operating system's kernel failed to work, and segfaulted or something
[06:39] <Dulak> he's talking about the first boot after install
[06:39] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I'm using a usb live cd
[06:39] <icarus-c> nhorning1, so when you boot with a livecd, it complains something wrong with sda ?
[06:39] <nhorning1> icarus-c: correct
[06:39] <nhorning1> icarus-c: keep in mind it's a usb stick
[06:39] <Sterist> riya use the software center to install an old kernel, then reboot using the old kernel, uninstall the latest, and reinstall the latest, then uninstall the old. problem solved.
[06:39] <icarus-c> nhorning1, um... but when it says sda with a live usb, i'm not sure "sda" is refering to the usb or the disk..
[06:40] <nhorning1> icarus-c: want me to try again so I can tell you the exact error
[06:40] <techbreak> Sterist, in administratie tool i dont find disk management tool
[06:40] <icarus-c> nhorning1, good idea
[06:40] <Sterist> techbreak Computer Management?
[06:40] <riya> Sterist software center??
[06:40] <riya> whats this
[06:40] <icarus-c> nhorning1, you sure the live usb is in good status?
[06:40] <Sterist> riya lol ask someone else for now please
[06:40] <techbreak> Sterist, yeah
[06:40] <icarus-c> nhorning1, maybe try to unplug your hard disk and try to boot the liveusb first
[06:41] <Sterist> techbreak does Computer Management show you a list of things on your hard drive or a list of different applications
[06:41] <nhorning1> icarus-c: yeah, I just tried it on another system and it atleast got to the gui
[06:41] <icarus-c> nhorning1, well it is system dependent that whether sda refers to the usb or the disk :)
[06:41] <techbreak> Sterist, i have three options.. system tools, storage and serveices and applications
[06:41] <Sterist> techbreak Storage
[06:42] <coolsan> hi all
[06:42] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I checked forums before this, and it seems everyone solved their problem by checking the disk
[06:42] <Sterist> techbreak do you see your 287gb partition on the list in there?
[06:42] <nhorning1> icarus-c: my problem is I can't seem to get to the point where I can run that
[06:42] <opakavic> !single
[06:43] <techbreak> Sterist, yeah
[06:43] <opakavic> is there a way to boot jaunty in single mode
[06:43] <marcus> good morning
[06:43] <techbreak> i got two things.. c: ntfs and d: ntfs
[06:43] <nhorning1> icarus-c: so I'm booting off the usb stick, it's got the splash screen up, it seems to take forever, so I hit esc and I get the following:
[06:43] <techbreak> Sterist, i got c: ntfs and D: ntfs
[06:43] <Sterist> techbreak okay right-click it and click Shrink (dont worry, this will bring up a menu and wont take any action)
[06:43] <techbreak> Sterist, d is recovery stuff
[06:43] <Subdolus> still cant find anything on starting a program on an ssh session, then sending it to my physical console monitor :(
[06:43] <techbreak> Sterist, ok
[06:43] <Sterist> techbreak NOT the recovery one, though the menu wouldn't harm it
[06:44] <icarus-c> techbreak, on vista disk management right?
[06:44] <nhorning1> icarus-c: <bunch of junk>  Killed ubable to open '/dev/sda'  stdin:error 0
[06:44] <techbreak> Sterist, ya i m shrinking c
[06:44] <techbreak> icarus-c, yeah
[06:44] <icarus-c> techbreak, so you could right click on C drive and select Shrink
[06:44] <Sterist> techbreak it's not actually shrinking right now, it should say "querying available space" or something like that, right?
[06:45] <icarus-c> nhorning1, right.... and you have used this usb drive on this machine with the same configuration before?
[06:45] <techbreak> Sterist, yeah after that it shows how much it ll be shrinked.. then i clicked "shrink"
[06:45] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I used it to install ubuntu
[06:45] <techbreak> Sterist, is that okay what i did?
[06:45] <icarus-c> nhorning1, oh, and the ubuntu system worked fine before right?
[06:45] <nhorning1> icarus-c: right
[06:45] <icarus-c> nhorning1, and suddenly it complains init thing
[06:45] <opakavic> !single mode
[06:45] <renatosrabelo1> ! dance
[06:46] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I had a team take it into the field
[06:46] <nhorning1> icarus-c: they said it ran out of batteries
[06:46] <Sterist> techbreak wait... so you right clicked the C drive, clicked Shrink, the menu popped up... and have you done anything more beyond that?
[06:46] <opakavic> i lost my password, even the root password, i'm looking for single mode boot in jaunty
[06:46] <etheretic> I have an extremely unreliable wifi connection. Signal quality/strength is good, but resolving dns seems to be a problem. When the Link Monitor applet is running, one or both of the pinged sites "fall out" irregularly.
[06:46] <renatosrabelo1> !dance
[06:46] <etheretic> Image of link monitor history at http://imgur.com/o2N0u
[06:46] <nhorning1> icarus-c: they brought it back, and when they turned it on there was a kernel panic
[06:46] <techbreak> Sterist, yeah i clicked "shrink"
[06:46] <icarus-c> nhorning1, oh... yea system shutdown before  file systems are unmounted :P
[06:46] <nhorning1> icarus-c: When I reset it I get this issue
[06:47] <icarus-c> nhorning1, that is bad to the file system
[06:47] <icarus-c> nhorning1, could you boot the liveusb with the hard disk unplugged ?
[06:47] <nhorning1> icarus-c: difficult, this is a netbook
[06:47] <Sterist> techbreak how many mb's did you tell it to shrink by?
[06:47] <icarus-c> nhorning1, ahh right..
[06:48] <icarus-c> nhorning1, do you have any other live cd/usb to try ?
[06:48] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I tried disabling the main drive in the bios already. no dice
[06:48] <techbreak> Sterist, it was showing some data by default. the recent size and size after shrinking.. i didnt choose just clicked shrink
[06:48] <xbonesx> anyone know how i could mimic windows 7's feature where when a windows is dragged to the edge that it halves on that side of the screen?
[06:48] <icarus-c> nhorning1, i somehow suspect usb problem for liveusb fail to boot
[06:48] <techbreak> Sterist, my system is hanged in between.. i am waiting it to respond
[06:48] <nhorning1> icarus-c: there is a copy of lucid puppy downstairs but it's not on usb
[06:49] <icarus-c> nhorning1, that's fine.  you just need whatever live system to boot and then do fsck
[06:49] <Sterist> techbreak are you using something else to talk on the IRC right now? lol
[06:49] <techbreak> Sterist, if you dont mind to wait little i will restart my system
[06:49] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I can boot up the windows partition, is there any way I could do it through that?
[06:49] <techbreak> Sterist, yeah I am in another laptop with Ubuntu 10.10 :) :)
[06:49] <Sterist> techbreak i would not recommend a manual power-off while using storage tools
[06:50] <icarus-c> nhorning1, no.. windows can't do anything with Linux file system except formating them..
[06:50] <smitsch> I have a web cam on an HP Notebook; how can I get the web cam to work?  In Windows, there is an HP Web Cam driver; I'm new to Ubuntu.
[06:50] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I figured that.
[06:50] <icarus-c> nhorning1, can you boot to grub and verify the boot options for ubuntu are alright?
[06:50] <coolsan> icarus-c: you have .iso image of ubuntu
[06:51] <nhorning1> icarus-c: ok, just a sec
[06:51] <icarus-c> coolsan, huh?
[06:51] <aroman> hey, does anyone know where cakephp gets installed when installed from the repos?
[06:51] <techbreak> Sterist, I got back into same place.. quering volume for available disk spcae
[06:51] <Sterist> techbreak let me know when you're back at Shrink's menu
[06:51] <techbreak> Sterist, i got the pop up :)
[06:51] <nikolam> Who is being marking me as a BOT for god sake
[06:51] <coolsan> icarus-c: sorry
[06:51] <nhorning1> icarus-c: Ok, I started up and hit e, what part do I copy to you?
[06:52] <prince_jammys> aroman: dpkg -L cakephp
[06:52] <xbonesx> anyone know how i could mimic windows 7's feature where when a windows is dragged to the edge that it halves on that side of the screen?
[06:52] <techbreak> Sterist, total size before shrink: 294521 size of available 8411 enter the amount of space to shringk in mb:
[06:52] <rww> nikolam: Nothing's marking you as a bot. Unidentified users are redirected to #ubuntu-unregged when they try to join here if +r is set (which it is). Your client apparently doesn't leave enough time after attempting to identify before /joining channels. You end up there.
[06:52] <aroman> prince_jammys, Ah okay, cheers.
[06:52] <Niglop> can somebody help me mount my flash stick
[06:52] <prince_jammys> aroman: welcome.
[06:52] <Sterist> techbreak okay so what number does it show under "available to shrink"?
[06:52] <techbreak> Sterist, and the last option is total size after shringk in mb:
[06:53] <techbreak> Sterist, 8411
[06:53] <StrongOrder> Hello guys! I've seen a screenshot of the latest kde where the whole window chrome is blurred, not just title bars. How can I do that? I have 4.5.1
[06:53] <icarus-c> nhorning1, kernel :
[06:53] <nikolam> rww, wl how a heck somebodz think I am unidentified, when I AM
[06:53] <nhorning1> icarus-c: you mean the version?
[06:53] <nikolam> And Client first identifies , then joins
[06:53] <nikolam> I see rww
[06:54] <icarus-c> StrongOrder, well the blur plugin ?
[06:54] <icarus-c> nhorning1, no. there should be  a line for kernel parameter
[06:54] <Sterist> techbreak okay due to the NTFS bullshxt fragmentation, you only have 8.21 gb to shrink (maximum size you can dedicate to a new partition with the current state of your hard drive)
[06:54] <rww> nikolam: Presumably, it's not leaving enough time after identifying. I have mine wait five seconds.
[06:54] <rww> Sterist: Watch your language, please.
[06:54] <nhorning1> icarus-c: initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic
[06:54] <icarus-c> nhorning1, like   /boot/vmlinuz  root=XXXXXXXXX  quiet splash....
[06:54] <Niglop> can somebody help me mount my flash stick
[06:54] <Sterist> rww its true lol
[06:54] <rww> Sterist: I don't care.
[06:54] <techbreak> Sterist, whats the next thing i need to do?
[06:54] <StrongOrder> icarus-c, enabling it only blurs the title bars. I want to blur the whole window bg
[06:54] <Sterist> rww fine lol
[06:54] <nikolam> rww, I understand.. mazbe BOT should take some time before isentifying something Badly?
[06:55] <rww> nikolam: It's not the bot's fault that freenode detects you as unidentified and forwards you.
[06:55] <Sterist> techbreak "checkdisk utility" are you familiar with it?
[06:55] <rww> nikolam: Ask the support channel for whichever client you use how to make it wait before joining channels.
[06:55] <techbreak> Sterist, ya little bit
[06:55] <nhorning1> icarus-c: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic root=UUID=30f2dbala blahg blah blah
[06:55] <techbreak> Sterist, in command line its something like chkdsk right?
[06:55] <Sterist> techbreak okay, let that to a full check of your hard drive, then defragment it
[06:56] <xbonesx> anyone know how i could mimic windows 7's feature where when a windows is dragged to the edge that it halves on that side of the screen?
[06:56] <nikolam> so its freenodes fault. But other channels do not. Oh well, I am not complaining. Maybe I just go away and not connect at all.
[06:56] <Sterist> techbreak idk, i think vista requires you to reboot for it to run
[06:56] <nikolam> thanks rww for explanation
[06:56] <nhorning1> icarus-c: insmod ext2....  is that right?
[06:56] <techbreak> Sterist, so shall i reboot it? what should i do next? shrink is not done
[06:56] <Sterist> techbreak i think it prompts you to reboot after clicking / commanding chkdsk
[06:56] <Blue1> techbreak: if you are shrinking a paritition, tht can take several hours.
[06:57] <icarus-c> nhorning1, yea give the whole output of that /boot/vmlinuz........line if you could
[06:57] <icarus-c> nhorning1, you could skip the UUID
[06:57] <Sterist> blue1 he needs to defragment towards beginning of disk first
[06:57] <techbreak> Sterist, so shall i do that?
[06:57] <Sterist> techbreak yes
[06:57] <coolsan> riya: how can i edit disk partiton in ubuntu
[06:57] <techbreak> Blue1, yeah. thats why not doing
[06:57] <techbreak> Sterist, ok
[06:58] <EvilPhoenix> !gedit | coolsan, this is the partition editing system in ubuntu.
[06:58] <EvilPhoenix> oops
[06:58] <EvilPhoenix> wrong one
[06:58] <nhorning1> icarus-c:  linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic root=UUID=<skipped> ro    quiet splash
[06:58] <EvilPhoenix> !gparted | coolsan
[06:58] <EvilPhoenix> there we go
[06:58] <EvilPhoenix> that one
[06:58] <FloodBot1> EvilPhoenix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:58] <Niglop> some1 please help me mount my flash stick
[06:58] <Blue1> techbreak: yeah you should defrag before shrinking.  and when you boot back into windows, it will forch chkdsk to run, but of course nobody ever tells you that.
[06:58] <techbreak> Sterist, can you please tell me the command for the checkdisk?
[06:59] <EvilPhoenix> techbreak:  check disk as in with windows, or the file system checker in ubuntu?
[06:59] <coolsan> ubottu: i make a full part of whole harddisk
[06:59] <Blue1> techbreak: iirc chkdsk /f
[06:59] <Sterist> techbreak just go to your C drive and right click it (not in the storage tool), properties, tools, check disk
[06:59] <techbreak> EvilPhoenix, i want to do that in windows
[06:59] <coolsan> ubottu: i m using gnome
[06:59] <nhorning1> icarus-c: got that?
[06:59] <EvilPhoenix> techbreak:  just type chkdisk
[06:59] <EvilPhoenix> in a command prompt
[06:59] <techbreak> Sterist, ok
[06:59] <EvilPhoenix> techbreak:  also, ##windows for windows support
[06:59] <techbreak> EvilPhoenix, ok
[06:59] <Sterist> techbreak or that lol
[07:00] <coolsan> riya: how can i edit disk partiton in ubuntu
[07:00] <Sterist> evilphoenix will that require a reboot to perform when done in cmd?
[07:00] <EvilPhoenix> Sterist:  well, only if you want it to fix things, you can do a passive check
[07:00] <EvilPhoenix> Sterist / techbreak: take this to ##windows if its for windows tech support please.
[07:00] <ElCerebr0> is there a channel just for social chatting?
[07:01] <icarus-c> nhorning1, that looks fine... you better find you way to  boot a live system and run fsck..
[07:01] <Blue1> coolsan: livecd and gparted
[07:01] <techbreak> Sterist, ok going on
[07:01] <Sterist> evilphoenix he should be doing the most thorough check before defragmenting, correct?
[07:01] <icarus-c> nhorning1, remember,  fsck -f  (force check)
[07:01] <techbreak> EvilPhoenix, please i dont wanna go there.. I wanna finish with with ubuntu installation
[07:01] <techbreak> EvilPhoenix, please a request
[07:02] <Sterist> elcerebr0 #ubuntu-offtopic i think
[07:02] <nhorning1> icarus-c: ok, I'm going to try using the system downstairs to install lucid puppy on a another USB...    when do I type the fsck -f thing?
[07:02] <EvilPhoenix> ElCerebr0:  either #ubuntu-offtopic or #defocus
[07:02] <nhorning1> icarus-c: in terminal?
[07:02] <coolsan> Blue1: installed ubuntu now i have only one partition 'filesystem' i want to edit it
[07:02] <ElCerebr0> I have a question about banshee not sure if anyone here uses it or can help me
[07:02] <Splintah> im upgrading to 10.10 right now
[07:03] <Blue1> coolsan: huh?
[07:03] <Blue1> Splintah: not recommended
[07:03] <coolsan> Blue1: installed ubuntu now i have only one partition 'filesystem' i want to edit it
[07:03] <coolsan> i have only one partition 'filesystem' i want to edit it
[07:03] <ElCerebr0> I'm going to wait for a while before I upgrade to 10.10 if I do at all, 10.04 seems to work fine for me
[07:03] <techbreak> Sterist, it says windows cant check the disk whie its in use
[07:03] <techbreak> Sterist, what to do?
[07:03] <Blue1> coolsan: I am not understanding what your are saying what do you mean by "one filesystem"  -- what is it you want to edit?
[07:03] <Sterist> techbreak reboot
[07:04] <nhorning1> icarus-c: ok going....
[07:04] <Sterist> techbreak it will run the check before loading windows, don't cancel it
[07:04] <coolsan> i have only one partition ' reserved filesystem' i want to edit it
[07:04] <LinXz> Blue1: Possibly he is talking about the sda partition
[07:04] <Sterist> anyone know if GParted is save to use on a vista partition?
[07:05] <Sterist> safe
[07:05] <techbreak> Sterist, ok withouth clicking "schedule disk check" or "cancel" i rebooted
[07:05] <smitsch> I'm new to Ubuntu 10.04.1  It's running well on my HP Notebook.  How can I use the Web Cam built into the Notebook?
[07:05] <Blue1> LinXz: could be - but he hasn't said what he wants to edit....
[07:05] <Kartagis> what codec does mencoder require for libmp3lame?
[07:05] <techbreak> Sterist, but it didnt chceck anything
[07:05] <LinXz> Blue1: I don't know how to do this, but I understand his question :)
[07:06] <Blue1> LinXz: go for it....
[07:06] <coolsan> i want make three partition of my sda disk
[07:06] <Sterist> just curious, what does "sda" stand for? :P
[07:06] <lebeau> coolsan, in ubuntu?
[07:06] <LinXz> Blue1: He wants to change the sda1 (shrink it) and add sda2 (or any number that is awailable) to make a new partition (possibly for /home or something like that)
[07:07] <Blue1> coolsan: please prepend remarks with the name of the person you are addressing, it helps us a lot.  you can "resize: a partition if you only have one partition, but that can take hours.
[07:07] <Blue1> Sterist: special device a (the first hard drive)
[07:07] <Niglop> my computer isnt detecting my flash stick??? somebody help please
[07:07] <coolsan> Blue1: i installed ubuntu in entire hard disk
[07:07] <glebihan> is there a way to prevent gnome-panel to respawn when killing it ?
[07:08] <icarus-c> Niglop, your computer or ubuntu specifically
[07:08] <Blue1> Niglop: how is the stick formated?
[07:08] <Blue1> coolsan: yes you can shrink that with gparted, but it's a very time consuming process.
[07:08] <Niglop> icarus-c»  im not sure, its just not showing up in disk-utility because i was trying to mount it, Blue1 not sure
[07:08] <coolsan> how can i plz  give me a quick over view
[07:08] <Blue1> Niglop: is it for windows?
[07:09] <HowDoI> Why does seahorse allow you to export your private key without asking for a password/phrase?
[07:09] <coolsan> Blue1: HowDoI can i plz  give me a quick over view
[07:09] <maco> HowDoI: because all its doing is copying the file from ~/.ssh or ~/.gnupg
[07:09] <Niglop> Blue1»  no it was working before but our house had a power shortage and now its not mounted on my comp so im trying to fix it
[07:09] <Blue1> coolsan: boot off of live cd, run gparted, and when it comes up, there should be an option to resize, or change the size --
[07:09] <maco> HowDoI: it still cant be USED without a password
[07:10] <Blue1> Niglop: it would help us a lot, if you could tell us how you formatted it.  Windows?  Linux?
[07:10] <coolsan> Blue1: thanx
[07:10] <Niglop> Blue1»  linux
[07:10] <HowDoI> maco, but the password is the weakest part.  Anyone who uses my computer could export both private and public keys and then just guess the password, defeating the whole purpose of the encryption
[07:11] <LinXz> HowDol: Then you password is too weak
[07:11] <icarus-c> glebihan, you need to remove panel from required_component
[07:11] <maco> HowDoI: if they're logged in as you they can copy ~/.ssh and ~/.gnupg with or without seahorse
[07:11] <icarus-c> glebihan, and start gnome-panel as  startup application instead
[07:11] <maco> HowDoI: the solution is to not let them login as you
[07:11] <cuddlefish_XO> HowDoI: And strong password
[07:11] <Niglop> Blue1»  ext3 or ext4 i think
[07:11] <Blue1> Niglop: usually sudo e2fsck /dev/<DeviceNameGoesHere>
[07:11] <HowDoI> maco, I was under the impression that all private keys were stored on my machine in encrypted form
[07:11] <rww> If the password is the weakest part, you're doing passwords wrong.
[07:11] <glebihan> icarus-c: where can I find this required_component parameter ?
[07:12] <icarus-c> glebihan, gconf-editor
[07:12] <coolsan> Blue1: can i do it by 'disk utility' (system->administration->diskutility)
[07:12] <glebihan> icarus-c: ok thanks
[07:12] <rww> there's a reason GNUPG says "passphrase".
[07:12] <cuddlefish_XO> rww: No, ssh just does encryption right
[07:12] <icarus-c> glebihan, somewhere in /desktop/gnome/session  i suppose
[07:12] <maco> HowDoI: encrypted with what key?
[07:12] <Blue1> coolsan: no, the drive MUST be unmounted, which is why I said:  livecd
[07:12] <glebihan> icarus-c: yes, /desktop/gnome/session/required_components
[07:13] <icarus-c> cuddlefish_XO, uhh  ssh is for secured shell.
[07:13] <icarus-c> and a little more than that
[07:13] <maco> HowDoI: gpg --export-secret-keys doesnt ask for a password either
[07:13] <HowDoI> maco, I don't know what key.  I thought that the private key was semi-safe because it was inaccessible without a password.  After giving the password, the private key would be decrypted so it could be used in conjunction with the public key to decrypt whatever it was
[07:13] <cuddlefish_XO> icarus-c: ssh does encryption verry, verry well
[07:14] <Blue1> cuddlefish_XO: and "X" can ride for free
[07:14] <cuddlefish_XO> Blue1: yep
[07:14] <icarus-c> cuddlefish_XO, and it is not just about encryption though
[07:14] <Xase> holy crap in a pita
[07:14] <Niglop> Blue1»  but its not showing up on the pc so i dont know what /dev/ it is
[07:14] <HowDoI> maco, are you saying that encryption is totally useless if someone has access to my hard disk?
[07:14] <cuddlefish_XO> Xase: That's just horrible
[07:14] <Xase> ... arm-eabi-gcc not found.
[07:14] <Xase> Well i can't compile
[07:14] <icarus-c> cuddlefish_XO, and as far as i know, it is openssl doing the encryption, not ssh itself
[07:14] <maco> HowDoI: the fact that ~/.gnupg is chmod 700 is what protects it. other users on the system cant see it, but you can
[07:14] <Xase> How do I get arm-eabi-gcc for Ubuntu?
[07:14] <Guest72544> /q
[07:15] <maco> HowDoI: but yes, if they have access to the hard disk as root.... they can get your key
[07:15] <cuddlefish_XO> icarus-c: It's quite late here
[07:15] <maco> HowDoI: well as root or as you
[07:15] <Blue1> niglop: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[07:15] <maco> HowDoI: if they're logged in as a separate user and no sudo access, they cant get it
[07:15] <Niglop> Blue1»  the latest
[07:15] <Smitsch> I'm new to Ubuntu 10.04.1  It's running well on my HP Notebook which has a Web Cam.  How do I get my built-in Web Cam to work with Ubuntu?
[07:15] <Niglop> Blue1»  how do i check what /dev/ it is
[07:15] <Xase> arm-eabi-gcc ?
[07:15] <HowDoI> maco, then what do you recommend I do with the files I don't want people to see, even if they have access to my logged-in desktop?
[07:15] <maco> HowDoI: you may want to consider encrypting your home directory and not allowing people to use your user account (ubuntu has guest sessions)
[07:15] <Blue1> Niglop: don't use a question mark after my name, hit tab for completions --
[07:16] <Xase> HowDoI, you can prefix them with a . to make  them hidden
[07:16] <maco> HowDoI: get a new workflow. dont give them access to your logged-in desktop
[07:16] <ElCerebr0> Smitsch your web cam should work out of the box, what program are you trying to use it with?
[07:16] <cuddlefish_XO> Niglop: try "ls /dev/sd*"
[07:16] <Niglop> ok Blue1, how can i fix it?
[07:16] <maco> Xase: which isnt going to stop anyone who knows how to use the system well enough to even know about seahorse or the gpg command
[07:16] <icarus-c> glebihan, yea remove  panel from /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list
[07:16] <Xase> No it isn't.
[07:16] <Blue1> Niglop: how many hard drives do you have in your system.  and please use tab completion. thanks
[07:17] <Niglop> Blue1 /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda5
[07:17] <Xase> Why not just create an encrypted folder or something.
[07:17] <glebihan> icarus-c: yes did that, thanks
[07:17] <Blue1> Niglop: siggh private message ok?
[07:17] <maco> Xase: the issue is encrypting the encryption keys ;-)
[07:17] <cuddlefish_XO> !offtopic
[07:17] <Niglop> kk
[07:17] <Xase> ...
[07:17] <Xase> Ah.
[07:17] <maco> Xase: the answer is full-disk or ~ encryption ;-)
[07:17] <st__> when gnome opens smb://something, does it mount it somewhere?
[07:18] <Xase> Heh
[07:18] <icarus-c> st__, gvfs
[07:18] <Xase> I need arm-eabi-gcc or an arm crosscompiling toolchain...
[07:18] <Xase> Which is oddly alien to me.
[07:18] <timh____> can one localize specific desktop icons to specific workspaces, so they appear there and nowhere else?
[07:19] <st__> gvfs what?
[07:19] <Xase> Yeah timh____
[07:19] <Smitsch> ElCerebr0, I'm using Ubuntu 10.03.1 installed within Windows Vista Home Premium 64.  I was given a website where I downloaded and installed drivers for the DVD drive.  The only software I installed related to a Web Cam is VLC which plays my DVD's just fine.  There is no software that I can see that uses the Web Cam.
[07:19] <HowDoI> maco, so the private key is only as safe as the machine you are using to decrypt things on?
[07:19] <maco> HowDoI: yes
[07:19] <Xase> Store the Desktop shortcut in your home folder rather than in the filesystem root.
[07:19] <st__> timh____, there are no separate desktops, so cannot be different icons
[07:19] <maco> HowDoI: really, make use of guest sessions and screenlocking and encrypted filesystems
[07:20] <Xase> or do you mean the virtual desktops?
[07:20] <HowDoI> maco, can I instruct seahorse/gnupgp or whatever to prompt me for a private key any time I want to decrypt something?
[07:20] <icarus-c> st__, gnome virtual file system
[07:20] <maco> HowDoI: to turn off caching? im sure that's possible... if there's no seahorse-agent or gnupg-agent, there'll be no caching
[07:20] <Evo11> morning ladies and gents
[07:20] <st__> how to open gvfs url in application which doesn't support it?
[07:20] <maco> HowDoI: er oh wait thats for the password
[07:20] <icarus-c> st__, iirc it mounts stuff to  ~/.gvfs
[07:21] <coolsan> Smitsch: you should install 'CHEESE'
[07:21] <st__> icarus-c, it's empty
[07:21] <Evo11> can some help me fix a sharing problem on a ubuntu server?
[07:21] <Xase> ...
[07:21] <maco> HowDoI: you could get an Iron Key and store your ~/.gnupg on there then mount it at ~/.gnupg when you want to use the key. Iron Keys are encrypted thumbdrives that destroy the data if you fail the password 3x in a row
[07:21] <icarus-c> st__, have you mounted something (like a network share) with nautilus yet?
[07:21] <Smitsch> OK,  I think I found it on the Internet.
[07:21] <Xase> Can someone direct me somewhere that can help me set up a arm toolchain?
[07:22] <st__> icarus-c, yes, it's open
[07:22] <maco> Xase: #ubuntu-arm is probably where the arm devs live
[07:22] <Smitsch> coolsan, I think I found CHEESE
[07:22] <Xase> Yeah but I am developing Android on 'Ubuntu' x86 =(
[07:22] <coolsan> ok
[07:22] <HowDoI> maco, thanks, but I don't know my passwords
[07:22] <timh____> st__:thx.  It'd be a nice feature.  I wonder if there is a notification when one changes workspaces so I could copy in a Desktop through some script or something.
[07:22] <ElCerebr0> Smitsch Cheese should turn on your webcam and allow you to take pictures
[07:23] <maco> HowDoI: er... how do you use encryption without knowing your password?
[07:23] <xbonesx> anyone know how i could mimic windows 7's feature where when a windows is dragged to the edge that it halves on that side of the screen?
[07:23] <rww> install KDE
[07:23] <maco> xbonesx: use kwin?
[07:23] <st__> timh____, you need >1 monitor to really have several desktops
[07:23] <ElCerebr0> I've never tried skype so i don't know how it works
[07:23] <xbonesx> maco: whats that, where can i get it?
[07:23] <bluegoon> test
[07:23] <maco> xbonesx: kwin is kde's window manager. sudo apt-get install kwin
[07:23] <icarus-c> xbonesx, use compiz
[07:23] <Smitsch> ElCerebr0 I found Cheese 2.31.1  I'll give it a try.
[07:23] <icarus-c> xbonesx, compiz 's grid plugin
[07:24] <HowDoI> maco, my passwords are geometric.  I memorize the pattern of keypresses, not the actual characters.  It is very difficult for me to write them down without looking at a keyboard.
[07:24] <maco> xbonesx: then you can set "kwin --replace" in your system -> preferences -> session -> autostart
[07:24] <xbonesx> icarus-c: im aware of that, what do i need to change in it
[07:24] <glebihan> icarus-c: the panel still respawns after removing it from required components
[07:24] <st__> how to open gvfs url in application which doesn't support it?
[07:24] <icarus-c> xbonesx, but it uses keyboard shortcut by default
[07:24] <maco> HowDoI: ah ok. muscle memory. do you frequently mis-type them repeatedly?
[07:24] <icarus-c> glebihan, have you log out/in yet?
[07:24] <glebihan> icarus-c: yep
[07:25] <st__> also, is there a command to open file?
[07:25] <icarus-c> glebihan, well i haven't tested it so.. :P
[07:25] <icarus-c> xbonesx, are you using compiz ?
[07:25] <maco> st__: gnome-open filename
[07:25] <HowDoI> maco, I frequently mistype them on a different keyboard, yes
[07:25] <timh____> st__: I suppose that's it.  I'm not to keen on dragging an extra monitor into this restaurant with wifi
[07:25] <timh____> ;-)
[07:25] <ElCerebr0> Does anyone know how to add Internet Radio stations to Banshee?
[07:25] <glebihan> icarus-c: thanks for the suggestion, think I'm going to get rid of gnome-session anyway
[07:26] <coolsan> i didn't use banshee
[07:26] <Name141> are there any sega gen emulators in the repos than dgen ?
[07:26] <timh____> xbonesx: fvwm2 has that capability.
[07:26] <icarus-c> xbonesx, using mouse and drag window to edge to snap isn't a good idea for multiple workspace desktop,  since typically you drag a window to the edge to move to another workspace
[07:26] <xbonesx> icarus-c: yes sir and im aware of that part (grid)
[07:27] <Name141> or, how do I even run dgen ?
[07:27] <icarus-c> xbonesx, but yes, you could set to do it with mouse too
[07:27] <icarus-c> but i found keyboard is more convenient
[07:27] <xbonesx> icarus-c: mine isnt set to switch workplaces when dragged to the edge
[07:28] <xbonesx> icarus-c: so i could set it up to snap like windows 7 in a single workspace
[07:28] <st__> why cannot I drag files to terminal?
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> st__: is it a feature normally?
[07:28] <st__> ActionParsnip, it should
[07:28] <icarus-c> xbonesx, yes. but i lost the howto to set that and i can't remember how
[07:29] <ElCerebr0> st what kind of files are you trying to drag to the terminal and why?
[07:29] <icarus-c> st__, when you drag a file from nautilus to gnome-terminal, it should give you the path
[07:29] <HowDoI> maco, another question:  When seahorse exports the private key, for instance, is this key encrypted using the passphrase or not?
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> st__: that's a different matter. If its not a normal feature I suggest you post it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[07:29] <st__> also it doesn't paste it to terminal :sad:
[07:29] <xbonesx> icarus-c: ill mess around with it, thanks for the info
[07:29] <willvarfar> ok, why is software update suggesting I install the latest linux kernel, and then listing it as UNAUTHENTICATED ?
[07:29] <maco> HowDoI: the passphrase will still be necessary in order to use it, yeah
[07:30] <st__> i;m using uxterm, it doesn;t support this?
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> willvarfar: sounds like you added a ppa but not the key
[07:30] <maco> HowDoI: export is just so you can have the same private key on more than one computer
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> st__: not sure
[07:30] <ElCerebr0> st i just tried it and it works, never new about that
[07:30] <nhorning1> ok, I'm back
[07:30] <icarus-c> xbonesx, i got this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvlTlyEasD8
[07:30] <icarus-c> xbonesx, it is not the howto i read before but.
[07:31] <xbonesx> icarus-c: ill check it ou
[07:31] <xbonesx> out*
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> willvarfar: if you run: sudo apt-get update ,do you get errors about pubkeys?
[07:31] <maco> ElCerebr0: using uxterm or the default gnome-terminal?
[07:31] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I'm back and have puppy linux up and running
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> nhorning1: puppy is awesome
[07:31] <icarus-c> nhorning1, good.    locate your partitions with  fdisk -l  (or  blkid)  then fsck -f  them
[07:31] <HowDoI> maco, so let's see if I have this straight.  The public key is just a key that everybody has.  The private key itself is encrypted with the passphrase.  To decrypt things that were encrypted with the public key, an attacker would have to first get my encrypted private key basically by physically accessing my computer, and ALSO get my passphrase to decrypt the private key?
[07:31] <willvarfar> ActionParsnip, no; I haven't changed sources or anything; I'm more here because I'm worried
[07:31] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I've tried fsck sda6 -f and it says the supperblock is corrupt
[07:32] <maco> HowDoI: yup
[07:32] <HowDoI> maco, so the whole security is the passphrase basically.  Hiding my private key just makes it a little tougher
[07:32] <st__> also I cannot drag file into execute box ((
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> willvarfar: then i'd check software sources and /etc/apt/sources.list to see what's going on. I don't advise you upgrade just yet
[07:32] <willvarfar> I am also irritated that the update wizard first warns me things are NOT AUTHENTICATED in capitals when I got to install, but if I click a second time, it doesn't list whats to be installed or anything, it just goes ahead; so if you've tried to uncheck the unauthenticated things, you don't know if you managed to remember them all
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> st__: what's an execute box?
[07:33] <willvarfar> how can unauthenticated things slip into the update stream
[07:33] <icarus-c> nhorning1, "dumpe2fs   /dev/sda6 |grep superblock"
[07:33] <nhorning1> icarus-c: but it's talking about an ext2 file system. I'm pretty sure its an ext4 file system
[07:33] <icarus-c> nhorning1, oh wait
[07:33] <willvarfar> but, importantly, nobody else is being told that the latest kernel pushed out is not authenticated?
[07:33] <icarus-c> nhorning1, what kernel does puppy run
[07:33] <st__> box for alt+f2
[07:34] <maco> HowDoI: yes, passphrases are very very important
[07:34] <nhorning1> icarus-c: I don't know, but I think it's a current one
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> willvarfar: if you run stuff unecessarily as root or worse, log in as root it can happen more easily
[07:34] <icarus-c> nhorning1, uname -a
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> st__: why would you dragstuff there if you have the item already?
[07:34] <icarus-c> nhorning1, um  or just "lsmod|grep ext4"
[07:34] <st__> ActionParsnip, I need it's full name
[07:34] <nhorning1> 2.6.33.2
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> st__: all good suggestions for brainstorm though :)
[07:35] <willvarfar> ActionParsnip, what can happen more easily?
[07:35] <rww> ActionParsnip: That's not what it means by "not authenticated"
[07:35] <HowDoI> Thanks maco
[07:35] <rww> willvarfar: Did you interrupt a check for updates? That sometimes causes it to say that.
[07:36] <willvarfar> ah
[07:36] <rww> willvarfar: assuming that you haven't been adding new software sources, I'd guess that's the issue.
[07:36] <st__> willvarfar, update manager is not supposed to handle such situations. it's expected that you open package manager instead
[07:36] <nhorning1> icarus-c: lsmod|grep ext4 resulted in nothing I could see
[07:36] <rww> (and the solution is to tell it to check again)
[07:36] <willvarfar> not knowingly, but I do download in background so..
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> rww: sounds like a key thing to me, that's the noise apt-get makes when you don't add keys etc
[07:36] <icarus-c> nhorning1, ok now try "modprobe  ext4"
[07:36] <rww> ActionParsnip: which has nothing to do with root
[07:36] <willvarfar> doing reload in package manager and the warning goes away
[07:36] <willvarfar> but it leaves a very unpleasant taste in the mouth
[07:37] <rww> willvarfar: there you go, then. It is a rather unintuitive message :\
[07:37] <nhorning1> icarus-c: FATAL: Moduel ext4 not found
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> rww: if you run the OS as root and some malicious code gets ran then it can modify the sources files quite easily
[07:37] <willvarfar> update manager *should* mange this; the user should never be told things are NOT AUTHENTICATED
[07:37] <rww> willvarfar: yeah, it's not my favorite piece of software :(
[07:37] <icarus-c> nhorning1,  "zgrep EXT4  /proc/config.gz"
[07:37] <st__> how to open gvfs url in application which doesn't support it?
[07:37] <icarus-c> st__, gvfs url?
[07:37] <rww> ActionParsnip: and it can also add keys to apt's key list.
[07:38] <st__> icarus-c, ftp://, smb:// etc
[07:38] <rww> ActionParsnip: regardless, the actual support problem has nothing to do with running as root.
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> rww: maybe this script only adds to sources. Its possible
[07:38] <Evo11> can anyone tell me what will cause a windows machine to stop seeing my ubuntu server?
[07:38] <icarus-c> st__, if those glib based applications  have support for gvfs, they will just open
[07:38] <nhorning1> icarus-c: gzip: /prog/config.gz: No such file or directory
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> rww: yeah I got that. Ill let you deal
[07:38] <Smitsch> I installed Cheese and now my Web Cam works find.  Thanks for the tip.
[07:38] <ElCerebr0> yep
[07:38] <st__> they does not
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: can the windows system ping the server by ip and/or name?
[07:39] <icarus-c> nhorning1, check PM
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> st__: there may be folders in $HOME/.gvfs
[07:39] <Evo11> yes I can ping the server from my windows machine
[07:39] <st__> ActionParsnip, there is a folder, but it's empty
[07:39] <icarus-c> st__, do those application support those protocol itself ?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: then it can see it
[07:39] <Evo11> but the shared files l have on it l can't seem to access it
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: ah, that's different
[07:40] <st__> no, they support filesystem paths only
[07:40] <icarus-c> st__,   when you mounted something with gvfs (like mounting  sftp, ftp, samba share, iso with nautilus)  they will be in  ~/.gvfs
[07:40] <Evo11> I tried connecting to the server using tightVNC Server
[07:40] <Kartagis> good morning. what codec does mencoder require for libmp3lame?
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: look into samba and the smb.conf file if the sever is without desktop
[07:40] <Evo11> I don't have samba installed
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: how are you sharing the folders?
[07:41] <Evo11> The way l have it now was working up until yesterday
[07:41] <st__> i have the folder open, but .gvfs is empty
[07:41] <Evo11> just sharing
[07:41] <st__> Evo11, it doesn't make sense
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: did you share via nautilus per chance?
[07:42] <Evo11> no
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: "just sharing" doesn't exist
[07:42] <Evo11> I'm using the built in sharing options
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: you can share folders using samba, ssh, ftp etc
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: the built in sharing options you set with the file manager (nautilus) are samba shares
[07:43] <st__> can someone open synaptic and say if it has big ass Search button on thee right of toolbar?
[07:43] <compact> whats the best way to install java jdk
[07:43] <compact> ive tried apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> !java | compact
[07:43] <Evo11> okay didn't know that as l didn't install samba
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: it abstracts it for you
[07:44] <Evo11> what would have caused it to just stop working?
[07:44] <Kartagis> what codec does mencoder require for libmp3lame?
[07:44] <st__> Evo11, what happens when you type \\SERVERIP\ in Run box?
[07:44] <xbonesx> anyone know of a program that would let you use the joystick on a wired xbox 360 controller to control the cursor and the buttons on a mouse???
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: which is annoying as users arekept in the dark which makes support a little harder
[07:44] <st__> Evo11, (on windows machine)
[07:44] <navetz> hi I have an hp envy and want the ati drivers for my video card on linux, where can I find them?
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: if you run: smbtree ,on the server. Do you see its shares?
[07:45] <Evo11> network path not found
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> !ati | navetz
[07:45] <st__> navetz, does plain catalyst work?
[07:45] <Evo11> do l type that in the terminal window?
[07:45] <utkarsht> down with COICA
[07:45] <coolsan> navetz: you should run a command in terminal 'jockey-gtk'
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: yes
[07:45] <navetz> st__: I don't really know what plain catalyst is
[07:45] <navetz> coolsan: okay I will
[07:46] <st__> navetz, the driver you're getting from amd.com
[07:46] <pksadiq> !jockey-gtk
[07:46] <navetz> st__: I don't have any drivers installed yet
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: if you run: sudo apt-get install samba ,does it say its already installed?
[07:46] <pksadiq> sorry, I misunderstood
[07:46] <Loshki> Kartagis: try mencoder -oac mp3lame
[07:46] <st__> navetz, usually it should work automatically via 'radeon', shitty opensource driver
[07:47] <Evo11> the first command gives me nothing will try the 2nd one now
[07:47] <coolsan> navetz: tou should install restricted driver
[07:47] <Pramod> morning every one
[07:47] <navetz> coolsan: st__: is it similar to this jockey ati driver activation tool? I am activating some restricted drivers right now
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Hi pramod
[07:48] <Kartagis> Loshki it gives me No file given
[07:48] <st__> navetz, yes, activate it if you can?
[07:48] <taky> anyone formatted a recent macbook pro with ubuntu lately?
[07:48] <navetz> st__: alright its doing so now :) hopefully this will cool down my computer a bit too

[07:49] <st__> taky, excuse me?
[07:49] <xbonesx> anyone know of a program that would let you use the joystick on a wired xbox 360 controller to control the cursor and the buttons on a mouse???

[07:50] <Pramod> i installed ubuntu sucessfully. and it worked fine. But when i inserted the firewire PCI card raw1394, my ubuntu fails to start in graphics mode.. What could be done ?
[07:50] <st__> ActionParsnip, it doesn't matter
[07:50] <navetz> need to restart :)
[07:50] <greppy> Pramod: is your firewire pci card supported by linux?
[07:51] <Kartagis> st__ http://people.sabanciuniv.edu/mtozses/synaptic.png
[07:51] <navetz> the only time i think i've ever had to restart is for a kernel upgrade
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> st__: just curious of the mindset, its completely baffling
[07:51] <Pramod> greppy yes
[07:51] <st__> Kartagis, thanks!
[07:51] <izardstreet> hey guys - i changed my computer and host name on my ubuntu 10.04 but my old hostname jeffrey is still being displayed as my username here
[07:52] <taky> st__, you heard me, osx is horrible
[07:52] <Kartagis> st__ np. now in return, answer this. do you know what codec mencoder requires for libmp3lame?
[07:52] <Kartagis> taky send your macbook pro to me then
[07:52] <greppy> taky: I have ubuntu running on my 4gen white macbook.
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> xbonesx: seems the xpad module drives it
[07:52] <taky> greppy, bah, this is a new macbook pro, like the one without buttons
[07:52] <xbonesx> How can i completely wipe a usb drive of all partitions (including hidden ones)
[07:53] <greppy> taky: ah
[07:53] <xbonesx> ActionParsnip: huh?
[07:53] <taky> Kartagis, no, because i like the device itself, just needs adequate softwware
[07:53] <Pramod> greppy is there any way to check it ?
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> xbonesx: if you modprobe xpad it will work
[07:53] <Evo11> cos lm still very new to ubuntu server and am getting use to in the gui way then wanna go to terminal only
[07:54] <dastan> how to install BT aplication on my lucid ?
[07:54] <Evo11> brb
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> xbonesx: you'll need an xbox to usb adapter
[07:54] <st__> taky, you're sounding like an inept troll actually
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: then installing the desktop OS would have been smarter
[07:54] <greppy> Pramod: I'd have to hit google with the model info and see what I could find.
[07:54] <xbonesx> ActionParsnip: i have a wired controller, will that do?
[07:54] <taky> st__, i am stating truth, osx is a very sad os
[07:54] <Pramod> greppy then i move to low graphic mode after which it works fine..
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> taky: not only is the OS lame but the hardware is twice the price
[07:55] <taky> ActionParsnip, agreeee
[07:55] <greppy> taky: have you taken a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
[07:55]  * xbonesx agrees too
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> xbonesx: sure, grab an xbox to usb converter if it already isn't usb and you should be ok
[07:56] <eliminyro> asus rules with his EEE PC :D
[07:56] <xbonesx> ActionParsnip: so "sudo modprobe xpad" ???
[07:56] <Niglop> can somebody urgently help, my flash stick is showing up in lsusb but not blkid
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> eliminyro: check the 1205 :)
[07:56] <rww> Niglop: what about sudo blkid?
[07:57] <Niglop> rww»  still not showing
[07:57] <eliminyro> no, i am seriuos. ) there's a lot of units that can be useful )
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> xbonesx: yeah should do it. You can add it in /etc/modules if it flys
[07:57] <greppy> taky: OS choice, like most things in life, is a matter of opinion.  Some people like apple, some like microsoft, some like openbsd, freebsd, linux, solaris, etc etc.  to each, their choice is the better and others are poor :)
[07:57] <Niglop> rww»  not showing
[07:58] <taky> greppy, i don't understand why anyone (a poweruser anyway) would use anything but linux
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> xbonesx: you may need jscalibrator to make it nice
[07:58] <deSzadou> Hey
[07:58] <Matej> Hey
[07:58] <st__> taky, because people needs their machines to work, not to tinker or browsing
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> taky: depends on requirement. Linux isn't always the answer
[07:58] <greppy> taky: I know many "powerusers" who swear by freebsd over linux, others that swear by osx over all others, it depends on your goals and expectations.
[07:58] <ElCerebr0> if i type sudo su in terminal it makes me root, how do i switch back to regular user w/o closing the terminal window?
[07:59] <deSzadou> Can anybody help me in find SQL (phpmyadmiN) on http://www.botm.gov.pl/  ? ; )
[07:59] <greppy> type in exit
[07:59] <ElCerebr0> cool
[07:59] <st__> for example this Ubuntu OS cannot open a simple text file ffs
[07:59] <Pramod> greppy yep i did google and it seems that Linux debian support my card..
[07:59] <ElCerebr0> ty
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> ElCerebr0: su foo ,change foo for your username. I suggest you use: sudo -i instead
[07:59] <xbonesx> ActionParsnip: is there a config file for xpad?
[07:59] <greppy> Pramod: ok, you may need to configure it in your xorg.conf
[07:59] <Blue1> ActionParsnip: was trying to help niglop recover a flash drive.  It shows up on lsusb, but nothing on blkid, can you help him?  couldn't run e2fsck since it got no further.  thanks.
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> xbonesx: it should obey whatever config there is for jscalibrator
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> Blue1: anything in sudo fdisk -l ?
[08:00] <Pramod> greppy you mean "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ?
[08:01] <Blue1> ActionParsnip: no didn't try that.
[08:01] <Niglop> ActionParsnip»  no sdb
[08:01] <greppy> Pramod: possibly, it depends on what you need to do to get the card configured.
[08:01] <xbonesx> ActionParsnip: wheres jscal......
[08:01] <st__> FFS, gvfs-open: smb://XXX/xxx............/xxx.txt: error opening URI: no registerd application for processinf this file
[08:01] <Pramod> greppy am new to linux pls be more candid
[08:02] <st__> no registered application for TXT file?!
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> xbonesx: you'll need to install it. Try running it in terminal, you'll be shown some suggested packages
[08:03] <rewati> hi i want to remove netbook remix and keep ubuntu normal environment how to do that??
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> st__: what command generates that?
[08:03] <xbonesx> couldnt find it in synaptic, means it wont show if i run "sudo apt-get install" either right?
[08:03] <xbonesx> ActionParsnip: couldnt find it in synaptic, means it wont show if i run "sudo apt-get install" either right?
[08:03] <st__> ActionParsnip, gfvs-open <url as hown in file manager>
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> st__: if you mount the share you can access the data like a local resource and have no issues
[08:04] <st__> ActionParsnip, how do I?
[08:04] <greppy> Pramod: hrm, well, what kind of firewire card is it?  make and model?
[08:04] <Loshki> st__: well, no registered applications at all, really. Just recommendations for apps that are particularly useful for text files...
[08:04] <st__> but when I click local text files they do open...
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> st__: look into smbmount or you can add an entry in /etc/fstab to mount at boot
[08:04] <st__> ActionParsnip, I cannot, cifs doen't work for me
[08:05] <Blue1> ActionParsnip: nope sudo fdisk -l didn't work either.  :-( -- time for me to wind down that day, but if you could help niglop much appreciated.  thanks.

[08:06] <ActionParsnip> st__: you can use smbfs if you like
[08:06] <Loshki> st__: well, that's just the desktop helping you out. And you have dozens of choices of desktop, all of them offering more or less the same facilities but differing on the details...
[08:06] <st__> ActionParsnip, smbfs is alias for cifs
[08:07] <ElCerebr0> Does anyone know how to add internet radio stations to Banshee?

[08:07] <Kartagis> any help for me?

[08:07] <rewati> hi i want to remove netbook remix and keep ubuntu normal environment how to do that??
[08:07] <st__> Loshki, so I have to install 200 MB desktop to be able a text file?
[08:08] <Loshki> Kartagis: weren't you asking about mencoder. Did you see my answer?
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> xbonesx: there will be a joystick app some place
[08:08] <Esat> how to know IP number of one Internet site?
[08:08] <Kartagis> Loshki it gives me No file given
[08:08] <xbonesx> ActionParsnip: ok lol i found one
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> st__: its slightly different, its not an alias
[08:08] <Kartagis> Esat host website
[08:08] <Niglop> ActionParsnip»  any ideas man?
[08:09] <Esat> Kardeş kartagis: bizim wikinin IP'si nedir=?
[08:09] <coolsan> Esat: go to www.who.is
[08:09] <Kartagis> Esat I don't know, speak English
[08:09] <Loshki> Kartagis: you have to supply an input file (and probably an output file too). mencoder takes *lots* of options. What exactly are you trying to do. Maybe there's an easier way?
[08:09] <st__> ActionParsnip, it's same damned thing, try mount -v -t smbfs and it will call mount.cifs
[08:09] <Esat> Kartagis, : ok
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> st__: its a permission thing
[08:10] <Esat> coolsan, : ok thnaks
[08:10] <Evo11> should l not try installing samba via Ubuntu software center?
[08:10] <Kartagis> Loshki at my work laptop, I get no errors. at home, I get Audio LAVC. Couldn't find codec for libmp3lame
[08:10] <Loshki> st__: yeah, if you want one of those all-singing/all-dancing desktop gui environments. It's possible to dispense with lots of that, unless you are a beginner...

[08:11] <Zeu5> hi there, i dl a .xpi file that is a firefox extension. however when i open it, it is opened like a zip file. howdo i install it?

[08:12] <billy> hi folks - wine has corrupted my system - gnome apps that once opened a file save dialogue now open the file save_as version - how do I fix it?
[08:12] <der-eremit> Zeu5 drag-and-drop it into the the extensions window of firefox
[08:12] <smalltown_boy345> hi room.. great to see all you folks in there.. im looking for some urgent help..

[08:13] <smalltown_boy345> i have some problems in my USB flash drive and i want to try formatting it in Ubuntu LIVE CD.............. would it be possible to format a flash drive through a Live CD?
[08:13] <Evo11> ActionParsnip should l not try installing samba via Ubuntu software center?
[08:13] <greppy> Pramod: Is that the firewire controller?  what are you trying to plug into it?
[08:13] <Zeu5> tks ActionParsnip
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: great place to find it. I have no idea how you were sharing before if its not installed
[08:14] <smalltown_boy345>  would it be possible to format a flash drive through a Live CD?
[08:14] <Loshki> Kartagis: oh. the codecs are optional due to licensing issues, sounds like you don't have them installed on the home version. When you get home, you can install them. What release are you running at home?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> smalltown_boy345: sure. The livecd has gparted as well as usb-creator which will allow you to install to the usb
[08:14] <smalltown_boy345> no
[08:14] <smalltown_boy345> i do not want to install anything on the USB
[08:14] <smalltown_boy345> my usb aint working properly and aint opening up in windows xp
[08:14] <Loshki> !codecs
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> smalltown_boy345: ok if you just want to format / partition it then the livecd can do it
[08:15] <Kartagis> Loshki 10.04
[08:15] <Evo11> in the gui I went to my home drive and then right clicked on the folder l wanted to share then went to properties and then to sharing
[08:15] <smalltown_boy345> so i am downloading live CD of ubuntu and i just wanted to ask if i can format the partition
[08:15] <smalltown_boy345> yes! okay
[08:15] <smalltown_boy345> thank you so much actionparsnip
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> smalltown_boy345: not good. Does XP make the noise when you shove in the device?
[08:15] <st__> ActionParsnip, bull shit. type smbmount and it tell: Usage: *mount.cifs* <remotetarget>...
[08:15] <rww> st__: Watch your language.
[08:15] <smalltown_boy345> yes.. it does makes the noise...
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> st__: keep it rated PG in here dude
[08:15] <Loshki> Kartagis: I think you need the w32codecs mentioned here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[08:16] <st__> only after some people will start watching their answers
[08:16] <rww> jinxzs: now ask in here
[08:16] <smalltown_boy345> but it does not opens the files inside.. it is a MP3 player device.. it has songs inside it..
[08:16] <Kartagis> !language | st__
[08:16] <jinxzs> thanks im new in ubuntu but i use xubuntu
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> st__: I've shown you the difference. If you don't like it that's your issue
[08:16] <jinxzs> how do i make xubuntu-window share files.
[08:16] <Kartagis> Loshki I don't have them at work, and it works
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> jinxzs: I've always used /etc/samba/smb.conf personally
[08:17] <Niglop> ActionParsnip»  please help
[08:17] <Evo11>  ActionParsnip» in the gui I went to my home drive and then right clicked on the folder l wanted to share then went to properties and then to sharing
[08:17] <Evo11> or is it better to use samba?
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> smalltown_boy345: you could try as the VERY last resort (like just before you bin it) to put a strong magnet on it to perhaps reset it
[08:17] <jinxzs> is it easy? where i can read about that. im not been a week since i try this
[08:18] <st__> in the link you posted the guy was explained it's his fault and not the difference
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> Evo11: the gui you refer to uses samba dude
[08:18] <Loshki> Kartagis: so, the exact same command line is ok at work but fails at home?
[08:18] <navetz> hey guys, after installing the restricted drivers i couldn't boot
[08:18] <navetz> had to delete my xorg to fix things
[08:18] <st__> and I'm not care about permissiions since both smbfs and cifs fail to open volume
[08:18] <blakkheim> ActionParsnip lol
[08:18] <navetz> i also don't have composition enabled anymore
[08:18] <eskaypey> hello
[08:18] <Kartagis> Loshki yes
[08:19] <st__> *mount
[08:19] <smalltown_boy345> ok action.. i will try thank you
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> blakkheim: it can work but I only advise it as a last ditch
[08:19] <st__> why I'm having that problem at all? in windows any app can open files in network since 1991
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> st__: windows is a different OS with different support
[08:20] <Evo11> But this share is different than then I had samba installed via the ubuntu software center
[08:20] <navetz> how can I get these catalyst ati drivers again?
[08:20] <navetz> i don't have the link you sent me before because I had to reboot
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> st__: linux has had iso mounting in the kernel for ages yet windows still needs 3rd party apps to do it
[08:20] <Loshki> Kartagis: I dunno why it's ok at work, but I don't see how it can function without the codecs. How do you know they're not installed at work...?
[08:20] <navetz> nvm found it
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> st__: same difference
[08:21] <Kartagis> Loshki because I get errors

[09:20] <vlt> xbonesx: `shred`
[09:20] <xbonesx> vlt: whats that?
[09:20] <icarus-c> vlt, you happen to be using compiz (3D desktop) ?
[09:21] <xbonesx> vlt: ah old school term style
[09:21] <xbonesx> is there a GUI for doing this?
[09:21] <vlt> icarus-c: No, but it's a vncserver session
[09:21] <Andorin> On Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, I just noticed that the left side of my screen is apparently extending past the monitor's edge by just a few pixels. How come?
[09:21] <icarus-c> vlt, and have you dig into the settings a bit
[09:22] <vlt> icarus-c: ffmpeg's x11grab can't open any X display
[09:23] <icarus-c> vlt, yea.. coz you are using vnc i suppose
[09:23] <Andorin> My resolution is 1440x900... when I switch it to something else, like 1280x1024, I don't have the problem, but I still see it when I go back to 1440x900
[09:23] <icarus-c> vlt, maybe try ffmpeg one more time with " -i  :0 "  changed to  "-i $DISPLAY"
[09:24] <vic20gmr> all: if i use xkeycaps to change a few key mappngs, and tell it to write out only changes will i be ok? [the program doesnt seem to know my particular keyboard, but im thinking if i just change the ones i want to change, and tell it to write out only the changes, ill be set]
[09:24] <Kartagis> der-eremit it seems to work now. what does -oac do?
[09:24] <vic20gmr> sry ab "the novel"
[09:25] <der-eremit> Kartagis it's the output audio codec
[09:25] <sam8> guys any ide about sakis 3g
[09:25] <Kartagis> Encode with the given audio codec
[09:25] <rumpsy> sakis 3g !
[09:25] <rumpsy> who knows it
[09:25] <der-eremit> Kartagis yep, to check which codecs are available you can use: mencoder -oac help
[09:25] <Kartagis> der-eremit do lavc and mp3lame have a difference?
[09:25] <rumpsy> does this channel support this
[09:27] <vlt> icarus-c: `-i $DISPLAY` works, thank you :)
[09:28] <Inferus> hi
[09:28] <Acido-> ello
[09:28] <Inferus> i have ubuntu server installed, want to put xubuntu on it, and have it boot to the gui automatically on start up
[09:28] <Inferus> is there a howto?
[09:28] <Inferus> :)
[09:29] <subcool> Hey, UFW has programs auto associated with it, so that when you say allow ssh - it knows the port. where can i find the list of programs associated with UFW already, and for starters .. whats the one for azureus
[09:29] <Inferus> Is it just, sudo apt-get install xubuntu
[09:29] <Inferus> Is it just, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[09:29] <Inferus> even
[09:30] <jhattara> is there a way to run apt-get from command line so that kernel gets updated also ?
[09:30] <darkdelusions> Inferus: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-gui-in-ubuntu-server.html
[09:30] <darkdelusions> that will walk you threw it step by step
[09:30] <morsing> ?
[09:30] <morsing> But why?
[09:30] <morsing> Anyway...
[09:30] <darkdelusions> Inferus: which is pretty much apt-get install xubuntu-desktop :)
[09:31] <morsing> I've just run an update on Ubuntu 10.04 and can no longer sftp to my Debian system. SSH is fine
[09:31] <Inferus> erm, i want to have a xubuntu desktop as my linux-fu is weak at the moment, so whilst i learn more about it, it's easier for me to do some tasks in gui
[09:31] <Inferus> :)
[09:31] <st__> why ubuntu maintainers are so f..ing lazy? I reported a bug 2 days ago but noone even looked at it...
[09:31] <icarus-c> jhattara, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[09:31] <morsing> This is the error on the server:
[09:31] <morsing> Sep 30 09:09:21 albert sshd[12195]: Received disconnect from 192.168.1.130: 11: disconnected by user
[09:31] <Inferus> st__ maybe they are busy? :)
[09:32] <morsing> Inferus: Are they busy fixing this sftp bug?
[09:32] <st__> Inferus, I wouldn't advice Xubuntu, as it misses several important desktop functions
[09:32] <Inferus> like?
[09:32] <jhattara> icarus-c, it didn't upgrade linux-generic, linux-headers-generic nor linux-image-generic
[09:32] <Inferus> ok
[09:32] <st__> Inferus, Gnome or KDE is bare minimum for newer users
[09:32] <Inferus> is kubuntu better then?
[09:32] <icarus-c> jhattara, because there is no update yet from your mirror i believe
[09:32] <Inferus> i have ubuntu on my laptop, fancy seeing what kde is like
[09:32] <Inferus> :D
[09:33] <st__> Inferus, it
[09:33] <st__> 's just different
[09:33] <darkdelusions> Inferus:  kubuntu \ ubuntu are pretty much the same it just personal pref
[09:33] <der-eremit> Kartagis i'm not sure, just had the same problem some while ago, so it was worth a try
[09:33] <Inferus> kk
[09:33] <Inferus> :)
[09:33] <icarus-c> st__, some people need certain advanced features, some doesn't.  GNOME, KDE wants features,  Xfce  wants to be lightweight.  does that explain something?
[09:34] <st__> icarus-c, Windows 95 is ultra-lightweight but still has some Gnome features XFCE/LXDE/etc do not
[09:34] <willwork4foo> Hi all
[09:34] <icarus-c> because not a majority of people need them?
[09:34] <jhattara> icarus-c, it tells me the three packages in question "have been kept back"
[09:35] <morsing> Ok thne
[09:35] <morsing> Bye
[09:35] <icarus-c> st__, it is hard to balance features & lightweight :)
[09:36] <icarus-c> if you need something that xfce doesn't provide, don't use xfce :)
[09:36] <rww> xfce <3
[09:37]  * erg0lite Hello.
[09:38] <st__> a bit ot: I saw some xfec distro which has bottom panel 48 pixels height... guess why?
[09:38] <erg0lite> I have a little problem with openAl sound module in a game, it just doesn't output any sound at all could someone please help?
[09:39] <Inferus> got kubuntu installing now
[09:39] <Inferus> :)
[09:39] <Inferus> setting up a print server
[09:39] <Inferus> as we have various weirdy shit going on with the printers here, i figured setting up a print server might stop some of it
[09:40] <Genieliu> Hi
[09:41] <Genieliu> This is the first time I use IRC, I'm learning how to use it
[09:41] <st__> and you should not signup as maintainer if you have no time to triage or follow bugs
[09:42] <Inferus> st__ what is your bug with
[09:42] <ch0s3n> i love empathys irc feature screw xchat
[09:42] <Inferus> is it a security flaw or something simply not working right
[09:42] <st__> no it's normal bug, but it's not the reason not to look at it for months
[09:43] <Genieliu> I'm using the xchat
[09:43] <rww> st__: Ubuntu doesn't have individual maintainers for packages. They're managed collectively by MOTU, Core devs, etc., depending on section.
[09:44] <st__> if you don't give a duck about the package, just kick it from repository and let users deal with author directly instead of burying their reports in launchpad
[09:44] <xbonesx> need help completely wiping a usb drive of all partitions including hidden ones???
[09:45] <nogo> xbonesx: dd
[09:45] <xbonesx> ?
[09:45] <nogo> xbonesx: use dd to kill a glitch grub2
[09:45] <nkdoodwal> help me installing drupal
[09:45] <xbonesx> dont want to just kill it i want to wipe it completely
[09:45] <Soul_Sample> i have an issue with lxde+openbox, when I logout it doesn't really kill my processes, so when I relogin it starts everything again, which makes doubles of mpd, mpdscribble and kills my conky. how can I logout so that my session dies properly?
[09:45] <AdvoWork> icarus-c, sorry for late reply. the way the shares was added was : Places > Connect to server > Windows Share.. and added that way
[09:46] <icarus-c> xbonesx, if you just want to wipe out the partition table:   "dd if=/dev/zero  of=/dev/<the_usb_drive> bs=512 count=1  "
[09:46] <erg0lite> I have a little problem with openAl sound module in a game, it just doesn't output any sound at all could someone please help?
[09:46] <xbonesx> icarus-c: is there a GUI for this...
[09:46] <anygivenname> can anyone help me with edit command for android terminal emulator ?
[09:47] <icarus-c> xbonesx, if you want to wipe everything  "dd if=/dev/urandom  of=/dev/<the_usb_drive"
[09:47] <icarus-c> xbonesx, probably no. why would you want one
[09:47] <icarus-c> dd is too powerful,  if there is a GUI tool for it, that tool may be harder to use than dd command itself
[09:48] <xbonesx> ok so do i need to unmount the drive to use "dd"
[09:48] <icarus-c> xbonesx, you should.
[09:49] <icarus-c> xbonesx, identify your usb drive with  "fdisk -l"  # that's a small L
[09:49] <xbonesx> /dev/sdb/ <--- thats it
[09:50] <icarus-c> xbonesx,  dd if=/dev/urandom /dev/sdb of=/dev/sdb   # be VERY sure /dev/sdb it your usb drive.  the command will delete EVERYTHING  on /dev/sdb
[09:50] <icarus-c> sorry
[09:51] <icarus-c> * dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb
[09:51] <rww> needs more sudo
[09:51] <icarus-c> rww, he should be smart enough :P
[09:51] <xbonesx> "sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb" <--- that
[09:52] <icarus-c> xbonesx, yes. assuming /dev/sdb is really the usb drive in  concern
[09:52] <anygivenname> can anyone help me with edit command for android terminal emulator ?
[09:52] <gmalex> Hello
[09:52]  * icarus-c wishes there are man pages on Android 
[09:53] <st__> !piracy > anygivenname
[09:53] <xbonesx> icarus-c: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503095/
[09:53] <gmalex> How can i use multimedia buttons (play/stop/volume control) on my Hp Pavilion dv2500 laptop with Ubuntu 10.4?
[09:53] <xbonesx> icarus-c: ya thats not the one
[09:54] <xbonesx> icarus-c: when eject the disk it no longer see the device
[09:54] <icarus-c> xbonesx, between, you may want to repeat the process a few times, and do some  "mkfs" operations  to make it close to impossible to recover
[09:54] <xbonesx> isnt that how you would unmount it?
[09:54] <st__> mkfs do not affect data actually
[09:54] <icarus-c> xbonesx, um... what?  you couldn't mount/umount again for /dev/sdb* because it got no partition after  that dd thing
[09:55] <icarus-c> st__, that's why we have used dd :)
[09:55] <xbonesx> icarus-c: its not like im trying ot cover anything up, i just created a boot usb and i want to get rid of the hidden partition that was created...
[09:55] <Daniel> Hi! I got the following in the kdm.log: error setting MTRR (base = 0xd0000000, size = 0x10000000, type = 1) Inappropriate ioctl for device (25).  Visually this error is seen as infinite login screen on startup (how much ever I enter correct credentials). Is there any chance to fix it without re-installing KDE or the whole OS?
[09:55] <icarus-c> xbonesx, lol  then you should have used fdisk instead
[09:55] <xbonesx> icarus-c: havent ran the dd yet
[09:55] <jhattara> can apt-get upgrade be run so that it holds back packages that require a reboot ?
[09:56] <icarus-c> xbonesx, now "gparted" may make you happy
[09:56] <st__> daniel I doubt it KDE related
[09:56] <icarus-c> xbonesx, it is a GUI partitioning tool
[09:56] <xbonesx> icarus-c: ya but it doesnt touch the hidden partitions
[09:56] <Daniel> st__, what could it be?
[09:56] <Daniel> st__ * what to check?
[09:57] <st__> daniel have no idea actually
[09:57] <icarus-c> xbonesx, hidden partition? you mean like there are some software that hide a "partition" somewhere but not registered to MBR ?
[09:58]  * icarus-c gotta go wash some dishes..
[09:58] <xbonesx> icarus-c: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/

[09:59] <razz1> i am trying to get xp guest os to print to my wireless printer. Its connected to ubuntu directly without any router in the middle. Using virtualbox. Any help?
[09:59] <icarus-c> xbonesx, you are willing to WIPE the who usb drive right?
[10:00] <lilpod> where is #apt?
[10:00] <xbonesx> icarus-c: yesir
[10:00] <icarus-c> xbonesx, " dd if=/dev/zero  of=/dev/sdb "   would clean things up
[10:02] <AdvoWork> icarus-c, any suggestions then?
[10:02] <icarus-c> xbonesx, just a bit of explanation,  that dd command will get input from /dev/zero  (which is 00000000) and write to /dev/sdb
[10:03] <icarus-c> AdvoWork, then it should have mounted to /media/  or  ~/.gvfs  i guess
[10:04] <flixil> In gnome, when changing the keyboard to czech (I use the keyboard applet), pressing ' + t writes absolutely nothing, instead of the expected czech ť (one character). How can this behavior be changed?

[10:07] <ChrisBuchholz> Hey, i'm setting up af 10.04 server, and have installed and configured a lamp stack. Now i need some ftp access. Can you recommend any resources for this?
[10:07] <xbonesx> icarus-c: WOW my computer just tweaked out... the temp on the video card shot up too 75C + and then my GUI started freezing up and then i could hear my hdd going nuts, like it was transferring millions of files BIG WTF????
[10:07] <xbonesx> icarus-c: had to hard crach it, now the temp is kicking back down at about 62C
[10:07] <xbonesx> to about*

[10:15] <xbonesx> HELLO HELlo Hello hello.....
[10:16] <rww> no.
[10:16] <xbonesx> rww: did you read the message i sent to icarus-c?
[10:16] <xbonesx> WOW my computer just tweaked out... the temp on the video card shot up too 75C + and then my GUI started freezing up and then i could hear my hdd going nuts, like it was transferring millions of files BIG WTF????
[10:17] <ikonia> xbonesx: please control your langauge
[10:18] <xbonesx> ikonia: i guess even when you abbreviate things its still considered cursing LMAO
[10:18] <ikonia> I'm not laughing
[10:18] <rww> xbonesx: yes, it is
[10:18] <xbonesx> ikonia: sry i was taking an honest mistake on my behalf and trying to ease the situation, sorry :(
[10:19] <xbonesx> ikonia: was very freaked out by what just happened with my $1600 pc
[10:19] <pozic> xbonesx: 75 degrees is normal and you may have been hacked, but it's impossible to tell in general.
[10:19] <vic20gmr> how do i execute "game data packager" its for prboom
[10:19] <pozic> xbonesx: most likely it is an unintended consequence of something in your configuration.
[10:19] <ikonia> xbonesx: it's not really an ubuntu issue though
[10:20] <vic20gmr> to all: how do i execute "game data packager" its for prboom
[10:20] <xbonesx> pozic: very weird i have never seen my card at idle hit higher than 60C
[10:21] <xbonesx> icarus-c: you their?
[10:21] <xbonesx> icarus-c: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503110/
[10:21] <icarus-c> xbonesx, i just back
[10:22] <icarus-c> xbonesx, you have nuked /dev/sdb ?
[10:22] <xbonesx> read the log^^^
[10:22] <xbonesx> no not yet
[10:22] <pozic> xbonesx: they can get until 110 without problems.
[10:22] <xbonesx> i got scolded while you were gone too, honest mistake
[10:23] <ikonia> xbonesx: why are you bringing that up
[10:23] <xbonesx> pozic: thanks for the tip, its a 8600m gt card too
[10:23] <ikonia> xbonesx: this is a support channel, you apologised for your mistake, why make a bigger deal out of it
[10:23] <xbonesx> ikonia: was informing him...
[10:23] <pozic> xbonesx: and then there is a cerfified temperature safety on it.
[10:23] <ikonia> xbonesx: why did he need to know ?
[10:23] <xbonesx> no probe intended
[10:23] <pozic> xbonesx: so... nothing to worry about.
[10:24] <pozic> xbonesx: if you want to make your machine 'faster' disable all indexing services.
[10:24] <pozic> xbonesx: e.g. things like locate, etc.
[10:24] <pozic> xbonesx: if you don't know what I am talking about, just run the program called top in the terminal.
[10:25] <xbonesx> ikonia: its dropped sry... i just have a very open-mined brain and found some king of humor in the abbreviation thing, i am sorry tho
[10:25] <arfoll> in gnome-terminal in ubuntu 10.10 why is every new terminal I open start at / and not the previous location?
[10:25] <pozic> xbonesx: then you see what is using your cpu.
[10:25] <xbonesx> kind*
[10:25] <xbonesx> pozic: ty
[10:25] <xbonesx> pozic: hope i dont run into that again
[10:26] <xbonesx> icarus-c: btw i posted a link of the output of running fdisk, so how should i run the dd command for it?
[10:26] <xbonesx> icarus-c: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503110/
[10:27] <pozic> xbonesx: you don't hope. You act and change your configuration if you want.
[10:28] <pozic> xbonesx: read a book about Linux if you want to use it more effectively.
[10:28] <xbonesx> pozic: i dont see why i would have had this problem, i have not touched any important system files
[10:28] <pozic> xbonesx: by default it builds a locate database.
[10:29] <xbonesx> i have a decent setup for a pc as well
[10:29] <pozic> xbonesx: how do you think the locate command works?
[10:29] <ch0s3n> whats your setup xbonesx
[10:29] <pozic> xbonesx: it doesn't work by magic.
[10:29] <xbonesx> right i understand that but i belive my pc is more than capable of handling such things
[10:29] <pozic> xbonesx: it might be that you just paid a lot and got crap.
[10:30] <arfoll> xbonesx, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[10:30] <Inferus> anyone here big on cups?
[10:30] <pozic> Inferus: if it doesn't work automatically, it probably doesn't work ;)

[10:30] <Inferus> i've added a printer and shared it, now in windows when i look at it i get "The '' Printer driver is not installed on this computer"
[10:30] <pozic> xbonesx: or maybe it is a bug.
[10:31] <Inferus> pozic ^
[10:31] <pozic> xbonesx: I agree that it should not happen.
[10:31] <arfoll> xbonesx, so it's a laptop?
[10:31] <xbonesx> yesir
[10:31] <arfoll> what brand?
[10:31] <xbonesx> not bad specs for a lappy
[10:31] <pozic> xbonesx: or maybe your idea of unresponsive is different from mine.
[10:31] <arfoll> and model, there may be a bug in powersaving or other
[10:32] <xbonesx> pozic: like literally i had a mouse that moved in intervals of every three seconds
[10:32] <pozic> xbonesx: if there is a real problem document everything about it.

[10:32] <arfoll> ch0s3n, sounds like my rig, but why a 37" thats a TV, so res sucks
[10:33] <ch0s3n> its a hdty lcd resolutions fiine for movies
[10:33] <ikonia> ch0s3n: how is that anything to do with #ubuntu ?
[10:33] <symtab> hi
[10:33] <ch0s3n> i guess it would be better in off topic but i wanted to ask xbonesx
[10:33] <symtab> evolution doesnt load anymore (it stops at loading the Folders)
[10:33] <symtab> any ideas how i can fix this? or a way to get more debugging information?
[10:33] <xbonesx> ch0s3n: true
[10:34] <arfoll> xbonesx, have you tried benchmarking your disk IO performance to see if it's way off?
[10:34] <xbonesx> back to my issue tho, i need to completely wipe my flashdrive of hidden partitions...
[10:34] <xbonesx> arfoll: compiz can do that right?
[10:34] <ikonia> xbonesx: just use fdisk and delete the partitions
[10:35] <oCean> !afk > Weust`
[10:35] <arfoll> xbonesx, compiz? no
[10:35] <arfoll> xbonesx, use iotop
[10:36] <arfoll> it'll give you a rought idea of what's using your disk, then check with hdparm for raw disk perf
[10:36] <xbonesx> ikonia: i was told to use the "dd" but i wanted to make sure i was doing this right, this is the output of fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/503110/
[10:36] <ikonia> xbonesx: which is your usb disk ?
[10:36] <xbonesx> arfoll: is that a GUI program?
[10:36] <symtab> hmm
[10:36] <ikonia> xbonesx: sdb ?
[10:36] <symtab> seems like the folders cant be loaded
[10:36] <arfoll> xbonesx, no terminal
[10:36] <symtab> any way to fix this?
[10:36] <xbonesx> ikonia: the 2000mb one...
[10:36] <symtab> without losing all my emails
[10:37] <AbhiJit> hi
[10:37] <ikonia> xbonesx: sudo fdisk /deb/sdb then press "d" then press "w"
[10:37] <symtab> i knew it...i said lets try evolution...thunderbird never crashed
[10:37] <ikonia> xbonesx: that will delete the 1 partition on the disk
[10:37] <arfoll> s/no/no,
[10:37] <xbonesx> ikonia: it has a hidden one tho, so it technically has two on it
[10:37] <ikonia> xbonesx: no it doesn't
[10:37] <arfoll> xbonesx, have you looked at gparted GUIs rock when it comes to partition management
[10:37] <blackdoggy> hey there is anybdy using realtek ALC262 with ALSA and using microphone??
[10:37] <ikonia> xbonesx: it has 1 partition
[10:38] <xbonesx> ikonia: the program i used said that it created a hidden partition that is detected by anitvirus on windows 7, which it did...
[10:38] <ikonia> xbonesx: there is no hidden partition
[10:38] <arfoll> xbonesx, maybe you mean the master boot sector?
[10:38] <ikonia> xbonesx: delete the partition as I told you
[10:39] <icarus-c> ikonia, sounds like something put something on a sector somewhere
[10:39] <icarus-c> ikonia, just let him nuke it
[10:39] <xbonesx> arfoll: yes
[10:39] <symtab> anyone...any ideas?
[10:39] <icarus-c> let him nuke the whole thing
[10:39] <ikonia> icarus-c: fine xbonesx "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb"
[10:39] <ikonia> icarus-c: fine xbonesx "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512k"
[10:39] <ikonia> xbonesx: see above
[10:39] <ikonia> waste your time
[10:40] <arfoll> ikonia, wasting is time would be /dev/urandom
[10:40] <ikonia> ha
[10:40] <rww> psh, urandom. Real time-wasting pros use /dev/random.
[10:40] <AbhiJit> hi
[10:40] <rww> also, TrueCrypt hidden partitions don't show up on fdisk. Not saying that has any application to this issue, but still.
[10:40] <icarus-c> rww, nah... usb drive write speed is way slower than it takes to generate random numbers
[10:41] <rww> icarus-c: not in my experience, it isn't
[10:41] <icarus-c> :-o
[10:41] <rww> /dev/random runs out of entropy pretty quickly if you abuse it like that.
[10:41] <pozic> xbonesx: that happens btw, if you are using some program that uses more memory than you have RAM.
[10:41] <arfoll> yeah urandom is better for silly dd writes
[10:41] <xbonesx> ikonia: here is for more reference to this issue, i used this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/
[10:41] <icarus-c> rww, lol i thought you meath urandom in the first place
[10:42] <babai> I'm currently running maverick beta, when the final releases, would a sudo apt-get upgrade convert my beta to the final?
[10:42] <pozic> xbonesx: a simple way to solve that is to put a userlimit.
[10:42] <rww> babai: yes
[10:42] <ikonia> xbonesx: I have given you the command to totally wipe the drive, please follow that
[10:42] <babai> rwat: ok thanks!
[10:42] <pozic> xbonesx: e.g. if more than 3.5GB is in use, you just kill whatever is using a lot.
[10:42] <pozic> xbonesx: you being the OS.
[10:42] <rww> (what's the factoid for "if you've been updating the development version, you don't need to reinstall for final?"
[10:42] <rww> )
[10:42] <pozic> !squeeze
[10:42] <xbonesx> ikonia: what things will i need to do after that to get it running properly again?
[10:43] <arfoll> xbonesx, partition it and format it
[10:43] <xbonesx> ikonia: considering it wipes it completely
[10:43] <ikonia> xbonesx: follow the guide you've just linked to
[10:44] <xbonesx> "Some antivirus utilities (Nod32) may detect a Boot Sector Virus on the fbinst partitioned USB Drive due to the fact that fbinst.exe installs a hidden sector for storing grldr and fb.cfg menu." <--- this is what i was talking about BTW
[10:44] <ikonia> xbonesx: that's nothing to do with ubuntu
[10:44] <xbonesx> ikoni: i understand this but that is what i was trying to wipe
[10:45] <ikonia> xbonesx: ok, so I've told you how to wipe it
[10:45] <martez89> hi, my internal laptop speaker doesnt work, external speakers do work. how can i fix this?
[10:45] <rww> sector != partition, btw.
[10:45] <ikonia> rww: I've given up arguing that
[10:45] <xbonesx> ikonia: much appreciated :)
[10:45] <martez89> im on a acer aspire 5542 btw
[10:46] <glebihan> martez89: have you checked alsa-mixer ?
[10:46] <glaucous> Have anyone here tried disabling journaling in ext4 (or ext3)? Does it increase the chance of data-loss a lot?
[10:46] <ikonia> glaucous: not really, but it removes the possability of recovery
[10:46] <glebihan> s/alsa-mixer/alsamixer
[10:46] <icarus-c> glaucous, not really. but it makes disk check much slower
[10:46] <martez89> glebihan, i have not checked that
[10:47] <glebihan> martez89: run alsamixer in terminal and check if your internal speaker is not muted
[10:47] <glaucous> icarus-c, ikonia, okay I'm planning on buying a SSD, where people recommended disabling journaling
[10:47] <icarus-c> xbonesx, look...  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb  would fill   sdb with 0000000000
[10:47] <icarus-c> xbonesx, nothing will left
[10:47] <icarus-c> xbonesx, not even the partition table
[10:48] <xbonesx> ikonia:sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb or sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512k which one then?
[10:48] <martez89> glebihan, how do i do that?
[10:48] <martez89> alt-f2?
[10:48] <glebihan> martez89: no, open a terminal
[10:48] <icarus-c> glaucous, i have a feeling disabling journal cost more drawback than it helps reduce that slight disk IO
[10:48] <ikonia> xbonesx: second
[10:49] <glebihan> martez89: well you can open the terminal with Alt+F2, then typing "gnome-terminal"
[10:49] <xbonesx> ok
[10:49] <martez89> I got some kind of application when i launched it in terminal via alt=F2
[10:50] <xbonesx> sometimes non-GUI type stuff spooks me
[10:50] <glaucous> icarus-c, how come? A few benchmarks I read did show better performance at least, although I doubt it noticeable
[10:50] <Sprockets2000> Hello, how can you tell which device is the one to write the MBR to when trying to fix your windows bootloader
[10:50] <icarus-c> glaucous, it helps better do stuff like  mount file system with "noatime",   increase "commit" time a bit,  increase vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs,  lower vm.swappiness ...etc
[10:50] <greppy> ctrl-alt t will also open a terminal in gnome.
[10:50] <Sprockets2000> I was trying to do some things and screwed up grub
[10:50] <Sprockets2000> Or can I easily rebuild grub?
[10:51] <xbonesx> ikonia: when running this for 2gb, should it take very long?
[10:51] <martez89> glebihan, i don't think internal speaker is muted
[10:51] <ikonia> xbonesx: yes
[10:51] <icarus-c> glaucous, well, if you use data=writeback  option even with journal, it should get similar performance from benchmark
[10:51] <dwarder> i've removed login name from top pannel by eccident
[10:51] <dwarder> how can i restore it
[10:51] <sddfdgsds> nanuu
[10:51] <icarus-c> glaucous, after all, benchmark is way beyond general usage
[10:52] <glaucous> icarus-c, read about it yesterday, although I don't remember exactly all of it. What does noatime and data=writeback do?
[10:52] <icarus-c> glaucous, you may also put  web browser cache to  /dev/shm  (ram disk)  to reduce disk IO
[10:52] <glaucous> icarus-c, yup, did that already
[10:52] <BitTorment> I'm getting the exact same problem as described here: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1573054
[10:52] <BitTorment> can someone suggest how I recover from a failed kernel update
[10:53] <icarus-c> glaucous, without noatime,  ubuntu default to  relatime (if i remember correctly).  atime is access time, which by default get updated (hence a write operation) when you read a file
[10:53] <BitTorment> that is causing ubuntu to freeze at the login screen
[10:53] <ikonia> BitTorment: on the grub menu select the older kernel
[10:53] <icarus-c> glaucous, noatime disable writing atime info when you read
[10:53] <Legend_Xeon> My ip is listed on www.spamhaus.org. Wat can be the reasons ?
[10:53] <glaucous> icarus-c, great, makes sense to turn it off
[10:53] <BitTorment> ikonia, same thing with the older kernels too
[10:53] <martez89> shoulk i use analog stereo duplex?
[10:53] <rww> !ot | Legend_Xeon
[10:54] <ikonia> BitTorment: then you probably have a hardware issue
[10:54] <BitTorment> ikonia, I've already run a fsck on the drive and fixed any errors there
[10:54] <icarus-c> Legend_Xeon,  most often all dynamic ip is on the list. but you could request to remove your IP
[10:54] <glaucous> icarus-c, but when do I ever need to know the access time? I might as well turn it off on all drives as far as I see it?
[10:54] <rww> glaucous: some mail clients use it, hence relatime being default instead of noatime.
[10:54] <BitTorment> is there any way to rerun the update from a live disc?
[10:54] <rww> there's not much difference performance-wise between relatime and noatime, so I'd just leave it.
[10:54] <icarus-c> glaucous, and read  "man mount" for data={journal|ordered|writeback}
[10:55] <ikonia> BitTorment: if the old kernel is failing to, it's not the update
[10:55] <glaucous> rww, okay I see
[10:55] <AdvoWork> icarus-c, you were spot on with the .gvfs.. if i goto that directory i can attach network locations. Any way I can map a drive within there to the desktop?
[10:55] <icarus-c> glaucous, well, if you have noatime,  "last access time" information won't be useful anymore :)
[10:55] <icarus-c> glaucous, personally i use noatime for / (rootfs) and relatime for /home
[10:55] <BitTorment> ikonia, it was working 100% before the update though; and the update was interrupted
[10:56] <glaucous> icarus-c, sure I understand that, but I don't think I've ever needed that information
[10:56] <icarus-c> AdvoWork, simply make a link
[10:56] <glaucous> icarus-c, because I'll still have "modified/write time"?
[10:56] <icarus-c> glaucous, yes sir :)
[10:56] <xbonesx> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503135/
[10:56] <BitTorment> ikonia, sorry, got dced
[10:57] <xbonesx> ikonia: that was the output, all look good?
[10:57] <icarus-c> glaucous, but note that a few program that rely on atime doesn't work with noatime . namely  matt email client
[10:57] <ikonia> xbonesx: all done
[10:57] <glaucous> icarus-c, alright, I'll keep it only on /
[10:57] <icarus-c> glaucous, have you read about data=writeback ?
[10:57] <ikonia> BitTorment: no problem, if the old kernel is not working, it's not the kernel update thats the problem
[10:57] <xbonesx> ikonia: thanks again, and sorry for the conflict earlier, try to mind my self more next... :)
[10:57] <xbonesx> next time*
[10:58] <BitTorment> what do you make of "info: recovery required on readonly filesystem" in the boot logs
[10:58] <ikonia> BitTorment: it means the file system has an error on it, so it got mounted read only
[10:59] <glaucous> icarus-c, yes, I did, doesn't say a lot though.
[10:59] <glaucous> icarus-c, data ordering, I guess that's to avoid fragmentation?
[10:59] <glaucous> icarus-c, at least that's my first guess
[10:59] <Sprockets2000> If you deleted your linux partition how can you fix grub to allow you to boot into windows, or alternativley just reinstall the mbr for windows ive tried using ms-sys doesnt seem to be working
[10:59] <icarus-c> glaucous, by default  it uses data=ordered. which update journal & write data to disk  when you write something to disk.   with data=writeback,   it only update journal first when you write something,  the actual data will be written later
[11:00] <Sprockets2000> Also would it be a big deal if I write the mBR to a partition that isnt where the MBR goes
[11:00] <icarus-c> glaucous, (the actual data will be stored in ram temprorarly)
[11:00] <xbonesx> ikonia: so now im creating a partition table, default is msdos ( i would like to be able to use the device on windows OS as well) should i leave it too default?
[11:00] <jrib> Sprockets2000: ##windows can help you reinstall the windows mbr
[11:00] <icarus-c> Sprockets2000, that will make that MBR loses the point of ever existing
[11:01] <ikonia> the partition type "msdos" only means the msdos partition table style, so it's fine for both, the file system determains what OS's can use it
[11:01] <xbonesx> ikonia: ok TY
[11:02] <erUSUL> Sprockets2000: use a windows instalation disk. boot into windows recovery mode. run « fixmbr »
[11:02] <glaucous> icarus-c, when exactly is "be written later"?
[11:03] <icarus-c> glaucous, i forgot which option/setting specify that
[11:03] <glaucous> icarus-c, okay, no worries
[11:03] <icarus-c> glaucous, besides, with a SSD drive, you may want to use  "noop" or "deadline" IO scheduler instead of "cfq"
[11:04] <glaucous> icarus-c, oh right, I read about that too. never heard an explanation why though
[11:04] <icarus-c> glaucous, you know ncq?
[11:04] <icarus-c> glaucous, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCQ
[11:04] <glaucous> icarus-c, yup
[11:05] <icarus-c> glaucous, cfq behaves like that, it optimizes IO sequence by its disk location. so to read/write most in a single disk rotation
[11:05] <st__> i know in early days you had not to install grub in MBR, can grub 2 be similar?
[11:05] <vasez> is there a package that can read .epub a friend emailed me one and said it's like a pdf
[11:05] <glaucous> icarus-c, which is pretty much useless on SSD
[11:05] <icarus-c> glaucous, but with SSD, that clever hack has no point
[11:05] <pzn> which file can I use to "trigger" an event everytime that wlan0 "goes up"? I need to execute "route add" and "route del" rules based on which access point the card was connected
[11:06] <glaucous> icarus-c, so what do you recommend, noop or deadline?
[11:06] <icarus-c> glaucous, exactly. it add extra overhead and latency apparently.   so simple scheduler like noop or deadline helps better
[11:06] <st__> and is there a way to override files in packed ubuntu image on livecd?
[11:06] <icarus-c> glaucous, afaik, noop does no queue merging. while deadline does.
[11:06] <icarus-c> glaucous, and i don't know which one is faster for SSD
[11:06] <icarus-c> but they both should be good
[11:07] <erUSUL> pzn: /etc/network/if-{up,down}.d/  ?
[11:07] <imaginois> vasez type epub in ubuntu software center and the program you need is called e-book reader
[11:07] <icarus-c> glaucous, some recommend noop, some say deadline
[11:07] <glaucous> icarus-c, okay I see
[11:07] <vasez> imaginois: Thank you
[11:07] <icarus-c> glaucous, a good article to optimize for SSD   http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSD
[11:08] <glaucous> icarus-c, great thansk
[11:08] <glaucous> icarus-c, by the way, a somewhat related question. Is it possible to mount drives by ID instead of sda/sdb etc? When changing HDDs that sometimes is annoying
[11:08] <icarus-c> glaucous, yes, UUID
[11:08] <glaucous> icarus-c, and that's what / is right now I believe
[11:08] <pzn> erUSUL, where can I find "manpage" about this? I need to know the environment variables that the scripts are called
[11:08] <erUSUL> glaucous: ubuntu have been using uuid  many years
[11:09] <icarus-c> glaucous, use  "UUID=XXXXXXXXXXX"  instead of "/dev/sdXy"  in /etc/fstab and grub
[11:09] <icarus-c> glaucous, you could get the UUID of a file system by blkid
[11:09] <glaucous> icarus-c, how do I get the UUID of the partition?
[11:09] <glaucous> icarus-c, ah okay, looking into it
[11:10] <erUSUL> pzn: man interfaces
[11:10] <erUSUL> !uuid | glaucous
[11:11] <pzn> erUSUL, thanks! all ok now
[11:11] <gmalex> How can i use multimedia buttons (play/stop/volume control) on my Hp Pavilion dv2500 laptop with Ubuntu 10.4?
[11:11] <glaucous> erUSUL, now that was much easier to read then "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid"
[11:13] <genupulas> guys i need help ...i need to findout  the what are the last program's executed in my PC
[11:13] <glebihan> gmalex: you should be able to configure that in System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts
[11:13] <genupulas> i mean that what are the vedio's and doc's like that
[11:14] <nogo> iostat?
[11:16] <genupulas>  guys i need help ...i need to findout  the what are the last program's executed in my PC i mean that what are the vedio's and doc's like that
[11:16] <BlaDe^> Hi guys I'm having this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/610440?comments=all ---- It's been problematic since 10.04beta and 10.10 beta
[11:17] <BlaDe^> on 9.10 it ran fine though
[11:17] <stoneMcClane> hi guys, I need to install libc6-dev-ppc64 on my x86 ubuntu installation, is there a packet repository that I could add or how would I go about this ?
[11:17] <nogo> genupulas: use top, powertop and iotop
[11:17] <icarus-c> genupulas, Desktop main menu -> Places -> Recent Documents
[11:17] <nogo> genupulas: and uninstall them when you are finished the tweaks
[11:17] <genupulas> icarus-c: its showing limited
[11:17] <nogo> s/are//
[11:18] <genupulas> nogo :explain me clearly plz
[11:18] <nogo> genupulas: they can explain themselves
[11:18] <icarus-c> gmalex, it should work out of the box, if isn't,  go System -> preferences -> Keyboard shortcut
[11:18] <genupulas> come again nogo
[11:19] <icarus-c> genupulas, i don't think there is a way to trace recently used program. but you could know recently used program that was run by command line
[11:19] <icarus-c> genupulas, "history" command shows that info
[11:20] <icarus-c> genupulas, but if you launch the program by GNOME (graphically), i don't know of a way :)
[11:20] <genupulas> ok   i will check them
[11:21] <Oculus> Hi, could anyone explain what could be possibly wrong with apache? The problem is that no matter what kind of requests I try, I only get Forbidden errors :(
[11:21] <AbhiJit> Oculus, try in #ubuntu-server
[11:21] <llutz> Oculus: #httpd
[11:22] <genupulas> icareus-c: its giving what are the commands executed
[11:22] <genupulas> icarus-c
[11:22] <genupulas> ; can u tell me abt "netcat"
[11:23] <genupulas> netcat
[11:23] <icarus-c> genupulas, man netcat  ?
[11:24] <genupulas> i did it already
[11:24] <icarus-c> "netcat is a simple unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or UDP protocol."
[11:24] <genupulas> i carus-c\
[11:24] <BitTorment> ikonia, fixed the problem by mounting and binding the drive and running dkpg-configure -a in a chroot
[11:24] <genupulas> ok
[11:25] <icarus-c> genupulas, hence, you could do stuff like send file over network, messaging with netcat
[11:25] <genupulas> thank you icarus-c
[11:25] <icarus-c> Oculus, apache's user got no access to documentroot ?
[11:26] <dwarder> in the top panel there was a thingy to change current user, i removed it, how can i return it back?
[11:26] <AbhiJit> !panels | dwarder
[11:26] <icarus-c> dwarder, right click at the panel -> Add to panel  -> User switcher
[11:27] <dwarder> AbhiJit: icarus-c: thank you
[11:27] <icarus-c> AbhiJit, you think that needs a reset to get it back....
[11:29] <zachary> hello?
[11:29] <icarus-c> !hi | zachary
[11:29] <zachary> hows everybody doin tonight?
[11:30] <nogo> babique
[11:30] <MM2> I updated my server from 8.04 to 10.04.1 and somehow my /boot-directory got empty. How I install necessarily files there?
[11:30] <MM2> needless to say that server won
[11:30] <MM2> t boot
[11:31] <tensorpudding> MM2: backups are nice
[11:31] <MM2> tensorpudding: backups are before upgrading
[11:31] <c3l> MM2: personally I always recommend to not do a version upgrade. rather back up and install a clean new system
[11:32] <c3l> MM2: youre running a server and you have no backups?
[11:32] <nogo> indeed. don't put anything useful on the ubuntu
[11:32] <tensorpudding> if the backups are pre-upgrade but recent, just wipe, reinstall from backups, and try upgrading again
[11:32] <MM2> c3l: I didn
[11:32] <MM2> c3l: i didnt say so
[11:33] <MM2> c3l:  i said that backups are done before upgrading
[11:33] <nogo> the 9.10 is about to end-of-life
[11:33] <icarus-c> MM2, /boot normally contains  kernel & grub
[11:33] <Gnea> !ltr
[11:34] <nogo> i can use my lts until 2013
[11:34] <c3l> MM2: that war quite pointless to say in that case. Im quite sure that tensorpudding understands that. but yes, there are often issues with upgrading to new versions. I recommend you to relinstall with a clean install and then put back your backed up data
[11:34] <Gnea> that's disturbing.
[11:34] <AbhiJit> !lts
[11:34] <Gnea> there it is
[11:34] <st__> and is there a way to override files in packed ubuntu image on livecd?
[11:34] <nogo> 3 years, very good! you can buy a new pc then
[11:35] <st__> MM2, boot from live-cd and install grub-pc in target
[11:35] <zachary> so whats the best linux for netbooks and stuff? i have the poulsbo chipset and alot of linux's hate it
[11:35] <AbhiJit> zachary, see distrowatch.org
[11:35] <st__> zachary, not ubuntu by far, too bloated
[11:35] <zachary> joli cloud works pretty good so far but im stuck in a bind
[11:35] <nogo> zachary: ubuntu
[11:35] <MM2> st__: how? And how to install kernels and initrds?
[11:36] <zachary> ubuntu hardly works on an acer
[11:36] <c3l> zachary: ubuntu works great on netbooks, you might want the ubuntu netbook remix
[11:36] <zachary> even the remix
[11:36] <nogo> zachary: ubuntu is an good alternative for redhat and mandrake in old good days
[11:36] <nogo> ubuntu = the flagship
[11:36] <c3l> zachary: really? thats strange, ubuntu supports a lot of HW. try debian
[11:36] <st__> MM2, install linux-image-server, it should trigger initrd creation
[11:36] <Gnea> st__: remix works just fine on my netbook
[11:36] <zachary> on my other computer ubuntu runs awesome
[11:37] <st__> MM2, use some livecd, bind /dev and /proc dirs, and chroot to your hd
[11:37] <zachary> but its just this damn acer aspire one...
[11:37] <zachary> it sucks
[11:37] <plitter> Hey, could anyone throw me in the right direction if i want to mount my nokia phone in ubuntu 10.04 over bluetooth?
[11:37] <nogo> fedora is relocating itself to a distro for moile devices, but it's doubtful
[11:37] <Inferus> anyone here good with CUPS? I have set up a printer and shared it to windows, now when I try to print to different trays on the printer it ignores my settings and simply prints to the bottom tray all the time
[11:37] <Gnea> zachary: did you try asking for help from the aspire one ubuntu support?
[11:37] <nogo> s/moile/mobile
[11:38] <zachary> yeah, but its the chipset or something in the aspire ones, they dont suppost open os's or something dumb
[11:38] <Gnea> http://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne
[11:38] <dwarder> does gui thingy for managing LAMP exist for ubuntu?
[11:38] <zachary> support*
[11:38] <Gnea> zachary: really?
[11:38] <MM2> st__: how I bind /dev and /proc ?
[11:38] <dwarder> !lamp
[11:39] <icarus-c> MM2, mount -o bind /dev  /somewhere/else
[11:39] <nogo> iirc, ubuntu has a hcl site
[11:39] <zachary> has anyone else tried joli cloud?
[11:40] <nogo> what's that?
[11:40] <nogo> ubuntu one is the future
[11:40] <nogo> cloud 2.0

[11:40] <nogo> ha ha
[11:40] <Gnea> so lol
[11:40] <zachary> they have a 2.0???
[11:40] <nogo> there is web 2.0
[11:41] <zachary> i didnt want joli but its the only one that works decent so far
[11:41] <magnetron> all the best web sites are cloud 2.0
[11:41] <petsounds> i try jolicloud rc, but i don't like it the applications is not up to date
[11:41] <magnetron> some are even cloud 2.1
[11:41] <nogo> ha ha

[11:42] <nogo> the cloud 1.0 is somthing like webos or eyeos
[11:42] <reggi> Hey folks I have a problem with my network interface (eth0)
[11:42] <Sterist> anyone know where i can get some notice sounds for Xchat notification tones?
[11:43] <glaucous> icarus-c, does NTFS on Linux require and optimizations for SSD? NTFS on Windows can disable access time via regedit, but does that exist on Linux as well? Would like to share a few files on the SSD
[11:43] <tarzeau> glaucous: noatime exists for several filesystems on linux too
[11:43] <icarus-c> glaucous, if you use ntfs-3g,  mount it with noatime option :)
[11:43] <reggi> would someone please help me? When I look at my 'Network Connections - Wired" there is no more eth0. It has dissappeared.
[11:43] <MM2> icarus-c: chroot /mnt/root causes cannot run commaand '/bin/bash': Exec format error
[11:43] <tarzeau> reggi: gnome?
[11:44] <dwarder> !apache
[11:44] <reggi> yes tarzeau
[11:44] <tarzeau> mine also is gone, the whole gnome network manager
[11:44] <glaucous> taroven, icarus-c, didn't know it worked for multiple filesystems, thanks :)
[11:44] <tarzeau> reggi: yeah i got that problem too, since one or two weeks
[11:44] <reggi> when I check my /etc/network/interfaces file it has my eth0 set to dhcp.
[11:44] <icarus-c> MM2, sounds like you current OS and the one to chroot are different architecutre
[11:44] <icarus-c> MM2, like one  x86, and the other x86_64
[11:45] <dwarder> what is the best way to add site to apache in ubuntu? why there are this two dirs sites-available  sites-enabled
[11:45] <reggi> when I do a networking restart i get the following error messages, "postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory
[11:45] <reggi> "
[11:45] <dwarder> ?
[11:45] <icarus-c> glaucous, ntfs-3g support atime too
[11:45] <icarus-c> glaucous, man page says it all
[11:45] <reggi> tarzeau, do you remember how you fixed your problem?
[11:45] <icarus-c> reggi, "No such file or directory"
[11:46] <glaucous> icarus-c, hm, the man page is really thorough indeed
[11:46] <icarus-c> glaucous, free software has nothing to hide :P
[11:46] <MM2> How to find out architecture?
[11:46] <Sterist> mm2 app called "sys info"
[11:46] <glaucous> icarus-c, very true :P
[11:47] <icarus-c> MM2, file /mnt/root/bin/bash # assuming /mnt/root is where your chroot is
[11:47] <reggi> hey icarus-c let me paste my output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503160/
[11:47] <Sterist> mm2 get it from the software center
[11:47] <icarus-c> MM2, and  uname -m  to see the architecture f your current OS
[11:47] <glaucous> by the way, do anyone know when LibreOffice is coming to the ubuntu repos?
[11:47] <nogo> MM2, type 'arch' in your console
[11:47] <tarzeau> reggi: no, i stilldidn't fix it :)
[11:47] <tarzeau> reggi: using the internet cable :)
[11:47] <icarus-c> MM2, note "file" and "uname -m" are commands above
[11:48] <killown> histo, how do I upgrade gnome to 2.32?
[11:48] <icarus-c> reggi, do you have postfix installed ?
[11:48] <icarus-c> reggi, likely you are missing /etc/postfix/main.cf
[11:48] <killown> *hi, how do I upgrade gnome to 2.32?*
[11:48] <reggi> hmm
[11:48] <icarus-c> killown, i don't think 2.32 is even released
[11:48] <reggi> oh icarus-c
[11:49] <reggi> icarus-c, what is postfix? do i need it?
[11:49] <killown> icarus-c http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/2010/09/29/gnome-2-32-is-out/
[11:49] <icarus-c> reggi, i don't know. that's what your message say
[11:49] <reggi> this is also the output of my ifconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503161/
[11:49] <icarus-c> reggi, you know "postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory"
[11:49] <icarus-c> postfix is a email smtp server/client
[11:49] <killown> icarus-c, released today
[11:49] <Sterist> what is a "L2 cache"?
[11:49] <MM2> icarus-c: /mnt/root/bin/bash is -64 and live-architecheture is i868
[11:49] <reggi> icarus-c, hmm I don't need postfix i think.
[11:49] <MM2> icarus-c: so I must redo my bootusb
[11:49] <icarus-c> killown, that is way too new for ubuntu
[11:50] <icarus-c> i868..
[11:50] <dwarder> !Zentyal
[11:50] <killown> no
[11:50] <dwarder> !ebox
[11:50] <killown> its not new
[11:50] <MM2> i686 :D
[11:50] <icarus-c> MM2, but yea, you need a x86_64 live usb in that case
[11:50] <reggi> icarus-c, i'll remove postfix
[11:50] <oCean> !latest | killown
[11:50] <MM2> icarus-c: thank you a lot
[11:50] <icarus-c> reggi, um... but you message suggest you need postfi
[11:50] <reggi> oh crap
[11:50] <dwarder> ebox is Zentyal now?
[11:51] <plitter> Hey, could anyone throw me in the right direction if i want to mount my nokia phone in ubuntu 10.04 over bluetooth?
[11:51] <dwarder> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zentyal
[11:51] <dwarder> ?
[11:51] <killown> if I wanna to care with security so I should use debian.
[11:51] <icarus-c> killown, yes it is way too new.  it need to be well tweaked and tested before it is shipped by ubuntu
[11:51] <nogo> killown: debian stable?
[11:52] <killown> icarus-c, I am looking for a ppa
[11:52] <killown> I don't care with stable things..
[11:52] <icarus-c> killown, maybe ubuntu 10.10 ships it
[11:52] <c3l> killown: debial stable would be your absolutely best choice it stabiliti is the most important aspect, but you will not have the most up to date software
[11:52] <dwarder> anyone uses ebox?
[11:52] <nogo> dwarder: ebox = eeepc?
[11:53] <killown> c3l man, I am just saying I DON't CARE WITH STABLE OR SECURITY I will not use debian.
[11:53] <icarus-c> killown, i have a feeling that  Debian SID is what suit you
[11:53] <viddy> I think what he's trying to say, is that he doesnt care about stability or security.
[11:53] <icarus-c> or other rolling release distro
[11:53] <viddy> *captain obvious*
[11:53] <killown> I don't like debian
[11:53] <nogo> killown: the ubuntu's security is enough for me
[11:53] <oCean> killown: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9853858
[11:54] <c3l> killown: sorry.. you said that 2 seconds before I pressed enter, I might have a bit lag
[11:54] <icarus-c> killown, lol ubuntu is pretty much debian
[11:54] <c3l> icarus-c: depends on how you see it. theyre quite different too
[11:54] <icarus-c> c3l, well yes, in some aspect
[11:55] <nogo> killown: both debian and ubuntu's fonts suck. i don't care. i have my own elite fonts
[11:55] <dwarder> what is the best way to add site to apache in ubuntu? why there are this two dirs sites-available  sites-enabled
[11:55] <dwarder> site = virtual host
[11:55] <_ikke_> add it to sites-available
[11:55] <killown> I am a experienced user,  I am using linux during 12 years
[11:55] <_ikke_> and symlink it to sites-enabled
[11:55] <c3l> icarus-c: ubuntu is probably more user friendly, and the up to date packages, yet security updates is nice
[11:55] <killown> I just wanna know about a ppa for gnome 2.32
[11:56] <oCean> dwarder: that makes it easy to disable a site/vhosts w/out removing the actual configuration(files)
[11:56] <icarus-c> c3l, right
[11:56] <jrib> dwarder: sites-available are the sites available, and sites-enabled are the sites enabled (you symlink to the sites-available file or just use a2ensite)
[11:56] <oCean> killown: see my message
[11:56] <nogo> killown: who isn't?
[11:56] <dwarder> jrib: thanks
[11:56] <dwarder> oCean: thanks
[11:56] <killown> oCean, thanks

[12:05] <AbhiJit> they decided again not to port to linux
[12:07] <visof> AbhiJit, did you mean me ?

[12:22] <Thor^^> I got a FakeRAID using Intel Matrix Storage and I was wondering if anyone know how to set up Ubuntu 10.04 to be able to see it, I found how to set it up during install, but this is a system that was installed before I had the Raid
[12:23] <DarkStar1> Does anyone know if OpenOffice has a language translation plug-in

[12:24] <dwarder> operated*
[12:25] <jeroen> I need some help with a weird problem involing shellcode someone got time?:)
[12:25] <c3l> www-data iirc, thats at least the permissions needed on folders for apache to be able to read it
[12:26] <oCean> dwarder: I'm pretty sure it's www-data, but using <IfModule mpm_itk_module> in the configs, you can assign whatever (specific) userid you want
[12:26] <oCean> dwarder: ^ for each vhost for example
[12:26] <DarkStar1> oCean: thanks
[12:26] <c3l> jeroen: dont ask to ask, if its a lot of text, put it on pastebin and link it
[12:27] <jeroen> I switched of kernel randomization sysctl kernel.randomize_va_space = 0 And follwed a tutorial for coding the exit command in shellcode
[12:27] <dwarder> oCean: thanks
[12:27] <jeroen> but when I try to execute simple shellcode it gives an segmentation fault and i'm pretty sure the code is correct
[12:28] <jeroen> because it works on 2 different laptops
[12:28] <chombee> Hey, bit of a problem here! Booted up my Ubuntu 10.04 today (after installing updates yesterday) and on logging into the desktop it just freezes, desktop never appears

[12:41] <Gnea> oCean: noted.
[12:43] <SinusPi> Greetings. May some of you shed some light on a problem of mine? I need USB-booted Ubuntu 10.10 to not try to initialize one of the hard disks; it has (probably) unreadable partition table (or worse) and ubuntu keeps failing on some DMA reads and won't even go into X mode, stuck in the error loop. Any way I can prevent any attempts to mount it, so that I can do it manually once everything is up..?
[12:43] <Braber01> !adduser
[12:44] <Oer> SinusPi, #ubuntu+1 for 10.10
[12:46] <SinusPi> Oer: and it's SO much of a difference between 10 and any other version?
[12:46] <tensorpudding> it's big enough that they have another channel for it
[12:47] <Oer> SinusPi, i think not, but any bug should be discussed there, to avoid your bug gets lost.
[12:47] <SinusPi> I don't think it's a bug, rather lack of knowledge on my part. But very well, moving.
[12:50] <Thelz> Does ubuntu or ubuntu server have harddisk check utilities? The file system got corrupted, and I'd prefer to scan for bad sectors before reinstalling from scratch
[12:51] <imaginois> Thelz it's called disk utility
[12:51] <imaginois> you can find it under system->administration
[12:51] <Thelz> imaginois> is it available from the shell?
[12:52] <imaginois> what do you want to check? the filesystem or the hard drive
[12:52] <Thelz> the harddrive
[12:52] <Thelz> the file system was corrupt
[12:52] <Thelz> It managed to repair most, so I'm moving all the files off the computer
[12:53] <Thelz> I want to scan for bad sectors, then reformat
[12:53] <Thelz> (unless bad sectors are found of course, then I need to replace the HDD)
[12:53] <imaginois> Ubuntu makes a filesystem check every 30 boots or something. If for any case, you want a filesystem check you can do it by issuing the following command:
[12:54] <imaginois> shutdown -rF now
[12:54] <imaginois> this should do the routine filesystem check at startup
[12:54] <Thelz> I've done the file system check... it couldn't solve it all, so I ran fsck
[12:55] <Thelz> Now network support and samba are running again
[12:55] <Thelz> so I'm pulling all the files off
[12:55] <imaginois> if you want to scan for bad sectors i think you are better off using 3rd party software
[12:55] <imaginois> download and burn hiren's boot cd
[12:55] <Thelz> ok, got any good tips, or should I google?
[12:55] <Thelz> hiren's boot cd? never heard of it
[12:55] <imaginois> it has good tools which may help in you particular case
[12:56] <imaginois> there's a tool called hdd regenerator it scans and repairs bad sectors if possibel
[12:56] <wild_oscar> hey. did I dream or was the sound indicator applet supposed to show the current volume % on mouse hover?
[12:57] <wild_oscar> or doesn't it have any mouse hover action?
[12:57] <imaginois> in windows it does but ubuntu I don
[12:57] <imaginois> dont think so
[12:58] <wild_oscar> oh, probably not in lucid: http://buranen.info/?p=394
[12:58] <wild_oscar> hmm...so I didn't dream it
[12:59] <wild_oscar> it works when you scroll, it simply doesn't give you any visual feedback
[12:59] <imaginois> maybe in maverick you'll see it again
[13:00] <imaginois> they implemented rhytmbox in the volume control
[13:00] <imaginois> http://gericom.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/lucid-sound-indicator-gets-improved/

[13:06] <ashtray> wine mirc is perfect on Ubuntu9.10,bazhang
[13:06] <adeola0405> reads 14gb
[13:06] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: reads 14gb
[13:07] <wild_oscar> hmm...what other diskapps say more than that then?
[13:08] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: the drive is 220gb, totla file size onthe drive is 167gb
[13:08] <Thelz> imaginois: Thanks, seems useful
[13:08] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: disk analyser and gparted
[13:09] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: make that 168.5gb
[13:09] <c3l> Thelz: remember that some of the tools on that CD is illegaly redistributed
[13:09] <MM2> How I reinstall grub to mbr?
[13:09] <Thelz> c3l: Ah, wasn't aware, sorry
[13:10] <wild_oscar> is "used" different in "df -h" and gparted?
[13:10] <wild_oscar> for a specific /dev, that is
[13:11] <erfolg> @MM2 grub-install /dev/sda
[13:11] <wild_oscar> adeola0405: don't forget you might have more than one partition (/dev/sda1, sda2...) and you might be comparing one partition (sda1) 's space with the full disk space
[13:12] <cannonball> MM2: grub-install '(hd0)'    which assumes that hd0 is your first drive, probably /dev/sda as indicated by wild_oscar
[13:12] <MM2> erfolg: grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0 gives: error /dev/mapper/eduwww-root does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[13:12] <sara2010> can anyone tell me
[13:13] <wild_oscar>  (no, I was  talking to adeola0405)
[13:13] <sara2010> why freespire web site is not working !
[13:13] <sara2010> ?
[13:13] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: gparted reads 195.6gb total and 172 gb used and 23.3gbfree, df -h reads 190gb and 170gbused with 14 gb free
[13:13] <MM2> erfolg: i.e. I have SATA drive with LVM
[13:14] <erfolg> MM2: try doing like cannonball said and run sudo grub-install '(hd0)' in terminal. that should work for any kind of setup you have including LVM.
[13:14] <philinux> sara2010: no ubuntu. But site probably down
[13:14] <wild_oscar> adeola0405: I actually see a difference in a few Gb too between them
[13:14] <sara2010> philinux .. also CNR service is down
[13:14] <ChesterX> hello everyone, is there an app that (as windows mediaplayer) catches/recognises the track names of cds?
[13:15] <sara2010> is another web like CNR service
[13:15] <sara2010> i want install some sfotware
[13:15] <MM2> erfolg: same error message. I have booted using liveUSB and chrooted my server, because I can not boot to system othervice
[13:15] <sara2010> software
[13:15] <philinux> sara2010: vagaries of the web
[13:16] <wild_oscar> anyway, lunch time
[13:16] <sara2010> philinux .. vagaries of the web ?
[13:16] <philinux> sara2010: sometimes it not work
[13:16] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: what could be causing this difference
[13:17] <sara2010> last 2 days i m trying
[13:17] <wild_oscar> adeola0405: *shrugs shoulders*
[13:17] <sara2010> its not working

[13:18] <philinux> sara2010: yep cnr.com is timing out
[13:18] <tarzeau> laserbeam: hardware? too warm?
[13:18] <st__> laserbeam, run them in terminal and observe output
[13:19] <laserbeam> aaa... dunno....
[13:19] <laserbeam> no they crash randomly... hardware might be the answer though
[13:19] <philinux> sara2010: wont ping either. Must be down.
[13:19] <erfolg> laserbeam: how old is your install?
[13:19] <laserbeam> I'l google a bit about finding the temperature, I'l be back if that's the answer...
[13:20] <laserbeam> few months tops... but hardware heat might be the answer... brb

[13:22] <erfolg> laserbeam: pentium 4?
[13:22] <laserbeam> ok... gonna buy some better coolers : )) no... some 3GHz dual core : ))
[13:23] <erfolg> laserbeam: do a physical check to see if your fans are running.
[13:23] <laserbeam> ok... thanks guys... i can take it from here
[13:23] <ikar> good morning
[13:24] <SinusPi> +1 seems largely dead... Is there really no simple universal answer to my question..? How to prevent USB-booted Ubuntu from getting stuck on trying to mount a (probably) badly broken HDD, and instead boot and let me mount it manually?
[13:25] <ikar> is there a ccleaner for Ubuntu 10.04?
[13:25] <DrPoO> hi, How do i add a directory to the path of every user?
[13:25] <serapophis> ikar, maybe bleachbit
[13:25] <Chell> ikar, what is that?
[13:25] <ikar> serapophis, aha, tnx
[13:26] <erfolg> DrPo0: are you trying to link 1 directory to every user's home directory?
[13:26] <DrPoO> erflog, no im trying to have a command accessible to every users path
[13:26] <DrPoO> erfolg, no im trying to have a command accessible to every users path
[13:27] <erfolg> DrPoO: try just symbolic linking it.
[13:27] <DrPoO> don't i have to add the path to /etc/profile?
[13:27] <VCoolio>  DrPoO put executable in /usr/local/bin or add folder to path in /etc/profile
[13:28] <Izoel> WelcomeBack
[13:28] <erfolg> yeah that should work.
[13:29] <Evo11> Hi there.I seem to be still having trouble trying to access my ubuntu server via my windows workstations.Can anyone assist me?
[13:30] <DrPoO> Evo11, what is the problem?
[13:30] <erfolg> Evoll: are you trying to get ssh access?
[13:30] <Evo11> since yesterday l can't seem to be able to access my shared folders on my ubuntu server via my windows workstations
[13:30] <DrPoO> VCoolio, i added a line to /etc/profile, how do i make that change active?
[13:31] <pozic> DrPoO: you relogin.
[13:31] <erfolg> Evoll: smbd is running?
[13:31] <VCoolio> log in again or 'source /etc/profile'
[13:31] <pozic> VCoolio: those are not equivalent, right?
[13:31] <squarebracket> is there a good graph-making program?
[13:31] <ikar> another question: how do i change back to normal directory-icon?
[13:31] <pozic> squarebracket: define graph.
[13:32] <DrPoO> squarebracket, try dia
[13:32] <pksadiq> maths graph?
[13:32] <squarebracket> pozic, simple stuff, like bar graphs, sin wave plots, i don't need anything intense like octave
[13:32] <Evo11> far as l know yes
[13:32] <squarebracket> pksadiq, yeah, math
[13:32] <pozic> squarebracket: gnuplot can do that.
[13:32] <DrPoO> squarebracket, in my opinion a combination of dia and inkscape does the trick
[13:32] <squarebracket> pozic, gnuplot does bar graphs?
[13:33] <DrPoO> squarebracket, or check out graphviz
[13:33] <VCoolio> pozic: if you relogin, /etc/profile is read again too, but also it does everything else againwhich you don't need know; it's convenient if you don t know how to apply a change
[13:33] <Evo11> what do I type again to see if it is running?
[13:33] <erfolg> Evoll: if you can, try top | grep smbd
[13:33] <pozic> squarebracket: or use R.
[13:33] <squarebracket> DrPoO, graphviz is language?
[13:34] <squarebracket> pozic, don't need R. Too complex i'd imagine
[13:34] <DrPoO> squarebracket, kindof http://www.graphviz.org/
[13:34] <erfolg> Evoll: actually nvm. just do pidof smbd
[13:34] <pozic> squarebracket: google bar graph gnuplot returns gnuplot screenshots.
[13:34] <erfolg> Evoll: if you get a pid it's running if not it's not.
[13:35] <system-setup> hi,, just have a customers laptop install with win7 / ubutntu>> have the o.e.m tool installed,, but will need to delete this account/profile etc for OEM to best work.. any advice??
[13:35] <pozic> squarebracket: calc can also do it.
[13:35] <pozic> squarebracket: if you are into Excel like computing.
[13:35] <squarebracket> pozic, yeah, i know.
[13:35] <Evo11> That is what l get when l run pidof smbd: 1050 1028
[13:35] <pozic> squarebracket: my professional opinion is that calc is a piece of crap.
[13:35] <squarebracket> pozic, yeah
[13:35] <pozic> squarebracket: Excel is pretty solid in my experience.
[13:36] <EricInBNE> oh man...my ubuntu system was running great...but a recent update now my mouse periodically slows down massively, and then speeds back up
[13:36] <ikar> where do i find the default icon for directories in Ubuntu 10.04?
[13:36] <EricInBNE> how do I backtrack to an earlier kernel?
[13:36] <pozic> (which is why I think it is silly that people say it is a real replacement)
[13:36] <erfolg> Evoll: ok so it's running. now edit your smb.conf file and check to see if your server is still defined in it.
[13:37] <Evo11> I can edit that file but l can't do any changes as it is read only
[13:37] <st__> what's wrong with calc?
[13:37] <squarebracket> last time i was looking into this i found GLE.... maybe i'; check out graphviz
[13:37] <erfolg> Evoll: sudo nano or vi whichever you use will let you edit it.
[13:37] <st__> EricInBNE, several last ones should be in grub menu
[13:39] <st__> and is there a way to override files in packed ubuntu image on livecd?
[13:39] <EricInBNE> st__, yeah good idea will try that.
[13:41] <dwarder> does phpmyadmin from software center works out of the box?
[13:41] <Monotoko> whats with the reg check?

[13:43] <dwarder> what is ppa?
[13:43] <hiz> dwarder: a repo
[13:43] <erfolg> dwarder: no. it sets it up for you. just install it and it asks you if you want it to configure apache or lighttpd
[13:44] <dwarder> erfolg: cool, thanks
[13:45] <zayr> how i can create new boot partition from current running ubuntu ?
[13:45] <zayr> and which size ?
[13:46] <st__> zayr, use livecd and gparted
[13:46] <llutz> zayr: use cfdisk, ~100MB should be more than sufficient
[13:46] <zayr> well /boot can be unmouted only through live cd ?
[13:46] <erfolg> zayr: 50 mb has problems so make it around 100 mb
[13:47] <zayr> and what FS ? for speed ?
[13:47] <erfolg> zayr: ext2
[13:47] <EricInBNE> st__, i booted using an old kernel but it wont load my nvidia graphics modules, and then dies

[13:48] <zayr> and why everything looks so blured ?
[13:49] <Squeeze_me> if i download and install the beta, would it be able to upgrade to the good version... or would i have to reinstall ?
[13:49] <erfolg> Squeeze_me: it automatically upgrades
[13:49] <Squeeze_me> yay
[13:49] <Squeeze_me> thanks
[13:50] <zayr> is it only me or it looks very blurish ?
[13:51] <st__> zayr, nonnative resolution on LCD?
[13:51] <zayr> st__: native
[13:51] <glaucous> I'm going to copy my / partition using gparted to another HDD. I suppose I'll need to install grub to that other HDD?
[13:51] <lestat> hi all

[13:52] <Hdthree> I'm just looking for a webbased proxy atm
[13:52] <st__> zayr, what is blured?
[13:52] <erfolg> Evoll: what is now?
[13:52] <zayr> st__: fonts
[13:52] <dwarder> erfolg: and how do you access it?
[13:52] <dwarder> erfolg: localhost/phpmyadmin?
[13:52] <st__> zayr, it's called "antaliasing"
[13:53] <lestat> Hdthree: webbased proxy you mean http proxy ?
[13:53] <zayr> doesnt feel right
[13:53] <Evo11> this server is starting to piss me off now
[13:53] <st__> zayr, because ubuntu fonts are badly hinted and look terribly when not AA'd
[13:53] <erfolg> dwarder: yeah. or yourip/phpmyadmin it'll ask you for the root pw you set in the setup.
[13:53] <Hdthree> yes i mean http proxy
[13:53] <jappiecr> Is there away to undo an installation? If my server was running great at 10 am and I installed something at 10.15am, can I get ti to the state of 10am again?
[13:53] <zayr> st__: where i cant enable aa ?
[13:53] <erfolg> dwarder: login as root
[13:54] <ajhavery> my apache server doesn't detect the directory copied in my /var/www/ directory
[13:54] <st__> zayr, gnome: appearance settings
[13:54] <ajhavery> i have to manually create directories & files in /var/www/ to get it detected by the apache server
[13:54] <dwarder> erfolg: it didn't ask me for password during setup
[13:55] <pksadiq> how to see my own IP in terminal?
[13:55] <ajhavery> so i can't sync with my fellows work
[13:55] <zayr> ifconfig
[13:55] <phisher1> pksadiq: ifconfig
[13:55] <tensorpudding> pksadiq: ifconfig lists all interfaces, with all the addresses associated with them
[13:55] <st__> how to disable iptables?
[13:56] <zayr> st__: remove it :P
[13:56] <pksadiq> let me try
[13:56] <htorque> hello everyone! does anyone here know a mp3 analyzing tool (eg. info on bitrate & co., if they are valid, etc.)
[13:56] <erfolg> dwarder: it should have. try just logging in as root with your normal password first. if that doesn't work just dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin and it should ask you to set a root pw.
[13:57] <Evo11> I feel like taking this server and throwing it out the window
[13:57] <jiohdi> anyone know why some program icons will not stay in the launch bar on unity?
[13:57] <erfolg> Evo11: what's going on now?
[13:57] <bazhang> jiohdi, on maverick?
[13:57] <jiohdi> bazhang: it works on 10.4 too
[13:58] <bazhang> jiohdi, are you running maverick?
[13:58] <Braber01> I just had a thought: is it possible to get a virus: via irssi/irc?
[13:58] <bazhang> Braber01, no
[13:58] <jiohdi> bazhang: I am running a beta upgrade from10.4
[13:58] <zayr> Braber01: yes
[13:58] <bazhang> jiohdi, then #ubuntu+1
[13:58] <bazhang> zayr, on ubuntu? no its not
[13:58] <jiohdi> bazhang: unity is not 10.10 dependant, same answer should work for 10.4
[13:59] <zayr> bazhang: you think getting virus is impossible on linux ?
[13:59] <erfolg> bazhang: he's on windows. :p
[13:59] <glaucous> What partition table should I use when formating a HDD on Linux using GParted?
[13:59] <erfolg> glaucous: mbr
[13:59] <st__> glaucous, msdos is safest o[ption
[13:59] <bazhang> jiohdi, thats the channel nonetheless, and its offtopic here, so please dont bring maverick issues here, thanks
[13:59] <st__> *mbr it is
[13:59] <glaucous> erfolg, st__ , okay, thanks
[13:59] <Evo11> from what l see everything should be working fine. I shouldn't be having trouble accessing my files on the server from my windows workstation
[14:00] <andrewaclt> I installed some avahi updates this morning, and now everytime I watch a movie in vcl, it logs me out o.O
[14:00] <st__> Evo11, had you enabled NTLMv2 on server?
[14:00] <erfolg> Evo11: try turning your firewall off if you can afford to and see if you can access it then.
[14:00] <glaucous> erfolg, st__ , there's no 'mbr' only 'msdos' when using gparted as far as I see
[14:00] <zayr> bazhang: as we know there was plenty remote linux exploits and example there was one with remote selinux root :P
[14:00] <Evo11> what is NTLMv2 st?
[14:01] <st__> Evo11, it's an authentication protocol for Vista and 7.
[14:01] <dwarder> Evo11: record video of it
[14:01] <Evo11> the firewall shouldn't be a problem as it was working fine up until yesterday
[14:01] <erfolg> glaucous: i usually use the standard disk utility which lets you choose mbr, guid. msdos=mbr though.
[14:01] <Evo11> Im using windows XP on my workstations
[14:01] <dwarder> Evo11: about throwing server out of the window
[14:01] <Evo11> lol
[14:02] <st__> Evo11, checked logs?
[14:02] <glaucous> erfolg, okay, yeah I just noticed that all my drives use msdos
[14:02] <erfolg> Evo11: go to run on xp and type \\serveraddress
[14:02] <Evo11> no that l haven't done yet.
[14:02] <Evo11> I can ping the server from my xp machine
[14:03] <pksadiq> zayr , linux is under linux hackers which is very strong and very high in population, but windows is mostly in the hands of crackers,but they call themselves as Hackers :)
[14:03] <erfolg> Evo11: if you run it it'll show up or say it can't connect.
[14:03] <tgywa> Hi all !
[14:03] <tgywa> how can I encode my username and pass in base64
[14:03] <tgywa> how can I encode my username and pass in base64 ?
[14:04] <pozic> echo hi | base64
[14:04] <tgywa> pozic, but ... that of a test username and pass
[14:04] <zayr> pksadiq: that doesnt matter if there is one byte remote kernel vuln :P
[14:04] <pksadiq> zayr, what?
[14:04] <maedox> XChat keeps trying to join #ubuntu before it has done the /msg NickServ identify stuff. Anyone know of a solution or some sleep command? It drives me insane.
[14:04] <pozic> tgywa: echo testuserpassword| base64 ?
[14:05] <matthiasb> Hi, I've a delicate problem rescuing data from a broken hard disk. Is there an appropriate channel for such problems?
[14:05] <Evo11> when l type my servers address like you said it tells me windows cannot find "server address"
[14:05] <st__> tgywa, tell us protocol require,ents
[14:06] <tgywa> pozic, that worked
[14:06] <erfolg> Evo11: something is wrong in either your firewall or smb.conf configuration then.
[14:06] <tgywa> thanks
[14:06] <erfolg> Evo11: be sure your smb.conf has the same workgroup, etc.
[14:06] <phisher1> make sure samba is running..
[14:06] <st__> erfolg, can you connect with telnet to 445 port on your server? also, does Workstation service running on XP?
[14:07] <erfolg> phisher1: he already did that.
[14:07] <zayr> pksadiq: obscurity is no security :)
[14:07] <bazhang> zayr, stay on topic please; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:07] <erfolg> st__: Evo11 is the one with the problem.
[14:08] <st__> why there's no tahoma font in Ubuntu by default?
[14:09] <erfolg> st__: install msttcorefonts
[14:09] <st__> erfolg, it's not there sadly
[14:09] <erfolg> st__: or ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:09] <erfolg> st__: sucks
[14:09] <elvina> hi.. if I add-in additional HDD to a ubuntu server to set up RAID, how will the server knows which is the master/original HD? I don't want to lose my server installation
[14:09] <pksadiq> zayr, So Windows is the best of all, as you say, great security :D, Vista vas cracked just a few days before the Final release
[14:09] <tensorpudding> elvina: you have an install without RAID in already?
[14:10] <st__> pksadiq, activation != security
[14:11] <tensorpudding> elvina: when you set up RAID on a set of disks, you wipe all the data on the disks
[14:11] <pksadiq> st__ , that does mean everybody can easly enter and modify System files and user files
[14:11] <zayr> pksadiq: you are wrong and lets move this discuss somewhere :P
[14:11] <pksadiq> yeah. right
[14:11] <st__> pksadiq, not everyone, but system administrator
[14:12] <zayr> pksadiq: #sexurity
[14:12] <zayr> how creative i am with naming :P
[14:12] <pksadiq> zayr , what?
[14:12] <zayr> pksadiq: join there for our discussion :P
[14:12] <elvina> tensorpudding, yaa.... i set up without raid initially... now i want to set raid on that setup...
[14:12] <_learner> Hi, I want to create and maintaine new iso which will be a mixture of ubuntu-maverick and some packages in main ubuntu repo + local ppa. I have a idea about seeds, but not other things completely
[14:12] <pksadiq> sorry, I have to keep my posotion ,
[14:12] <st__> if I write sudo utility which will run any command without asking for password, will it mean that Unix has no security?
[14:13] <bazhang> zayr, stop that
[14:13] <_learner> Wish, if someone can provide me pointers and resources :-)
[14:13] <greppy> st__: you can configure sudo to not ask for a password.
[14:13] <elvina> tensorpudding, anyway to go about it?
[14:13] <phisher1> st__: if you reference a script that is editable by the user, yes.
[14:13] <Evo11> I have just put the firewall of on my windows XP machine and it still tells me windows cannot find "server address"
[14:13] <st__> _learner, remastersys was designed for such things
[14:14] <tensorpudding> elvina: backup vital data, reinstall using RAID (Ubuntu Server has this as an option), then restore the data from the backup
[14:14] <researcher123> last week I updated kernel n cant see resolution hence have to work under CLI.Can I undo update
[14:14] <st__> Evo11, use telnet on Windows machine to check connectivity
[14:14] <st__> researcher123, no, it's gone forever
[14:14] <researcher123> whats the way out
[14:14] <erfolg> Evo11: try turning your server's firewall off for a few seconds to see if it will connect then.
[14:14] <_learner> st__: I am not sure, but we can't use remasterysys for creating iso on remote vm or local vm.. right?
[14:15]  * _learner reading about remastersys in details
[14:15] <Hory> can I instal ubuntu using an existing ext3 partition for /home/ without it being deleted?
[14:15] <maedox> researcher123: just boot the previous kernel... I think you have to press shift right before you see the ubuntu logo. either that or "escape".
[14:15] <Hory> I mean the 10.10 RC
[14:15] <zayr> bazhang: pksadiq: When a "potential D.o.S." means a one-shot remote kernel exploit: the SCTP story 	
[14:15] <zayr> google for that :P
[14:16] <jpds> Hory: If you have /home on a separate partition, sure.
[14:16] <phisher1> he might just be missing a video card driver
[14:16] <phisher1> might wanna try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[14:16] <researcher123> kindly help me get back my GUI. It tries to start in Low Graphic Mode but never starts n falls to CLI.Kernel was updated last week
[14:16] <davey3d> i need a nice notepad IDE, ubuntu alternative? thank you
[14:16] <davey3d> for web development purposes
[14:16] <erfolg> Hory: be sure to use manual partitioning and tell it not to format that partition, only to use it as /home
[14:16] <glebihan> Hory: just tell the partitioner to mount your partition in /home without formatting it
[14:16] <st__> Hory, sure but not with live cd I'm afraid
[14:17] <erfolg> davey3d: gedit?
[14:17] <glebihan> st__, Hory: yes live CD will handle this
[14:17] <Hory> thx
[14:17] <erfolg> st__: live cd installer can do it.
[14:17] <davey3d> anything else?
[14:17] <tensorpudding> davey3d: geany
[14:17] <st__> davey3d, or geany if you need document structure view
[14:17] <researcher123> is it ok to install 9.1 to replace earlier Lynx
[14:18] <davey3d> thanks muchly :)
[14:18] <Hory> yep, geany is nice
[14:18] <glebihan> davey3d: geany
[14:18] <Hory> I installed it on windows too :)
[14:18] <tensorpudding> geany is less like notepad than gedit
[14:18] <st__> some old livecd always formatted / partition... probably it's different now
[14:18] <tensorpudding> but this is a good thing
[14:18] <erfolg> st__: just use manual partitioning and you can do anything.
[14:18] <Hory> and updating from 10.10 RC to final in 10 days or so will be possible, right?
[14:18] <bazhang> Hory, yes
[14:19] <pksadiq> researcher123 , try sudo start gdm and say the error message
[14:19] <Evo11> telnet on windows xp says "could not open connection to host on port.... connection failed
[14:19] <glebihan> geany has better syntax highlighting than gedit (particulalry for mixed php,html and js)
[14:19] <bazhang> Hory, further discussion of 10.10 in #ubuntu+1 please
[14:19] <erfolg> Hory: 10.10 RC isn't out yet.
[14:19] <davey3d> that'll be very handy thank you
[14:19] <st__> Hory, you're already on release except maybe some packages
[14:19] <researcher123> ok pksadiq
[14:19] <Hory> it's out
[14:19] <theMalloc> Hi @ all.
[14:19] <Hory> since it's on the official FTP :)
[14:19] <erfolg> oh dang. my bad.
[14:20] <davey3d> stupid question. if i wanted to launch geany from terminal how can i do that?
[14:20] <st__> geany <file> &
[14:20] <glebihan> davey3d: type "geany"
[14:20] <erfolg> but rc basically is final anyhow
[14:20] <davey3d> whats the ubuntu syntax for that, it seems different
[14:20] <davey3d> that wont work like gedit though
[14:20] <researcher123> pksadiq: Im new.can u guide with commands to be executed on CLI
[14:20] <_learner> I also wish to have .zsysnc file,  Isn't there a guide for creating build script for creating new iso with packages of our own choice ?
[14:20] <davey3d> as gedits built into the system

[14:21] <theMalloc> I modified my grub settings in the past to have an entry for windows7. Now after upgrade to Lucid I do not get new entries for new kernel images. Can someone tell me how to fix this?
[14:21] <glebihan> davey3d: no it's the same
[14:21] <DexterLB> I miss gparted, where did it go?
[14:21] <glebihan> DexterLB: it's still there
[14:21] <davey3d> oh ok, thank you :) im just getting used to ubuntu
[14:21] <sarmisak> DexterLB, still there.
[14:21] <n8w> theMalloc:  update-grub
[14:21] <glebihan> DexterLB: unless you uninstalled it
[14:22] <theMalloc> n8w: ist this everything?
[14:22] <DexterLB> hmm not installed by default
[14:22] <erfolg> DexterLB: doesn't come standard on new ubuntu installs. just apt-get install it.
[14:22] <pksadiq> researcher123 ,the 'sudo' command allows to start any application as a super user, when using sudo unid to enter your user password, try sudo start gdm
[14:22] <Evo11> so now l really have no idea what is the problem
[14:22] <pksadiq> !gdm | researcher123
[14:22] <n8w> theMalloc:  what do u mean?
[14:23] <erfolg> Evo11: check to see if your smb.conf is on the same workgroup as your windows box.
[14:23] <DexterLB> I  know i can install it, I'm just curious why they replaced it for that disk utility thing
[14:23] <theMalloc> Do I have to do anything more or is that all? (Sorry... my english is not so good)
[14:23] <glebihan> erfolg: really ? I wonder why they would have removed it...
[14:23] <researcher123> ok.trying
[14:23] <DexterLB> gparted is a far better tool
[14:23] <erfolg> glebihan: it's been gone since karmic i believe.

[14:25] <erfolg> researcher123: get 10.04
[14:26] <pksadiq> researcher123 ,I think you can access CLI in that system isn't it?
[14:26] <abhishek_kumar> thanks bazhang i ll do that
[14:26] <notworking> I am so frustrated with the min max and close buttons.. Why do they frequently disappear?  I have gone to metacity 10 billion times and gconf-editor and changed them back so many times.. now I check metacity and it hasn't changed menu:min,max,close: and right now I still dont have my buttons,,  Can some body help me out here
[14:26] <researcher123> yes I can access CLI well can run internet also
[14:26] <n8w> theMalloc:  no,just that
[14:26] <pksadiq> researcher123 , Do you have irssi?
[14:26] <erfolg> notworking: use compiz
[14:27] <researcher123> pksadiq: I dont know but can install from sudo aptget coomand
[14:27] <notworking> erfolg I thought I was using compiz
[14:27] <Fatalis> why isnt php5-sqlite3 on the karmic repo?
[14:27] <notworking> erfolg how or why does it keep changing
[14:27] <erfolg> notworking: you said you checked metalcity. metalcity/compiz is a choice.
[14:27] <pksadiq> researcher123 , k, so do sudo apt-get install irssi , and then open it, IRC is ready
[14:28] <erfolg> notworking: are you using emerald or anything?
[14:28] <researcher123> then how will I contact u again
[14:28] <researcher123> my nick reasearhcer123 is not registered
[14:28] <pksadiq> researcher123 ,You can again reach this #ubuntu in freenode
[14:28] <notworking> erfolg I downloaded emerald a long time ago.. how can I fix this damn thing once and for all..  I am not a power user
[14:28] <dpyro> i'm trying to install g++-4.1 on ubuntu 10.10; i google about and it says its in the universe repo but I only see gcc-4.1 from aptitude, not g++-4.1

[14:30] <glebihan> dpyro: 10.10 questions on #ubuntu+1
[14:30] <erfolg> notworking: sudo apt-get install fusion-icon will make a nice icon in the taskbar that will help you change window managers and window decorators. you can find it in system tools.
[14:30] <j_ayen_green> Have been doing the Ubuntu 10.4 updates with no other changes. This past week duplicity started failing http://pastebin.com/8KF9BjbB
[14:31] <pksadiq> researcher123 .any way I will be here , but after 1/2 an  hour later
[14:31] <clu3> hi all, i'm running a cron job under www-data user and i have to use "sudo -u www-data my_script.sh"
[14:32] <clu3> but that requires a password prompt.is there a way to get passed that?
[14:32] <notworking> erfolg thanks I will try it.. also i did a remove emerald and it wasnt to be found.. Must have removed it a while ago too
[14:32] <sacarlson> clu3: you can setup sudo with no password
[14:32] <glebihan> clu3: add yourself to the www-data group, or change the  permissions of my_script.sh to allow others to execute it
[14:33] <st__> j_ayen_green, use duplicity tracker to dump it there
[14:33] <erfolg> notworking: good luck
[14:33] <glaucous> (In case my last message didn't go out, internet died) I just copied my / partition to another drive, what do I have to do to install grub on that drive instead? Do I need to uninstall grub from the other drive?
[14:33] <DroneWork> Holy hell, how hard is it to find a Ubuntu compatible Multi-stream Cablecard PCI Tuner, grrrrr
[14:33] <blackshell> when i alias a command by adding it to ~/.bashrc how do i make it work it in "alt+f2" window?
[14:33] <st__> clu3, suid
[14:33] <notworking> erfolg  emerald is still showing in the fusion icon
[14:34] <glebihan> blackshell: .bashrc won't be sourced when using Alt+F2
[14:34] <erfolg> notworking: tell it to use gtk decorator instead of emerald then.
[14:34] <clu3> sacarlson, sudo without password is a little dangerous isn't it?
[14:34] <j_ayen_green> st__, is that something that will have installed with duplicity, or is it a separate package?
[14:34] <st__> j_ayen_green, it's a section on duplicity website
[14:35] <glebihan> blackshell: maybe using .profile would work
[14:35] <j_ayen_green> st__, ah, ok...thanks :)
[14:35] <sacarlson> clu3: ya but I needed it so I added www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL  in sudoers
[14:35] <notworking> erfolg  I hit reload settings man.. and everything came back     again....   how to remove the emerald?  synaptic?
[14:35] <erfolg> try sudo apt-get purge emerald
[14:36] <notworking> erfolg   and compiz is selected... I think it was already because metacity had the correct button settings but they weren't showing
[14:36] <llutz> sacarlson: "ww-data ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL"  <- ALL really needed? limit it to those commands really needed
[14:37] <erfolg> notworking: so are they not showing now or did that fix it?
[14:37] <sacarlson> clu3: you can make it so they can only run some stuf
[14:37] <blackshell> glebihan:any idea how?
[14:37] <imaginois__> i need some help with pcsc
[14:37] <sacarlson> llutz: very true
[14:37] <notworking> erfolg    oh it fixed it.....   Till I restart a few more times and then Ill be right back here again
[14:38] <glebihan> blackshell: if you use .profile, you would have to log out and back in in order for this to work, since .profile is only sourced on login
[14:38] <glebihan> blackshell: .profile maybe, but I'm not sure
[14:38] <clu3> sacarlson, how can you do it? Could you pls be a little more specific?
[14:38] <blackshell> glebihan:where is .profile file?
[14:38] <notworking> erfolg   where exactly do I find the gtk instead of emerald??  in the fusion icon??
[14:38] <erfolg> notworking: that's strange. try installing emerald and just switching to gtk decorator if it messes up again.
[14:38] <llutz> clu3: read "man sudoers", it will explain
[14:38] <budz0r> hello there, im using lenovo ideapad s10-3, and ubuntu 10.10, with latest updates, n10 familiy graphic controller, an i can't boot any kernel after 2.6.35-18-generic, kernel boots till loadin firmware, that is the point where framebuffer comes up, and then freezes
[14:38] <glebihan> blackshell: in your home folder, if it doesn't exist , create it
[14:38] <notworking> erfolg   I found it... it was gfk also
[14:39] <sacarlson> clu3:  look at http://maestric.com/doc/unix/ubuntu_sudo_without_password
[14:39] <erfolg> notworking: under fusion icon you'll see a menu w/ select window decorator.
[14:39] <budz0r> do anyone have same problem
[14:39] <AndrewMC> budz0r: please go to #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 support
[14:39] <clu3> llutz, sacarlson  thanks
[14:39] <budz0r> AndrewMC: ok
[14:39] <st__> why he need sudo when it could be done with suid/sgid?
[14:40] <llutz> st__: sgid/suid as sudo-replacement is a stupid idea
[14:40] <vamsiiiii> hi, I forgot root password , but have a user account which is not sudo user
[14:40] <sacarlson> st__: tell him then
[14:40] <notworking> erfolg  I found it, it was GTK also.. I dont get the whole disappearing buttons thing but it has happened at least 20 times since insdtalling 10.04
[14:40] <vamsiiiii> can I edit/ etc/passwd ?
[14:40] <vamsiiiii> and put a new password instead on x ?
[14:40] <martez89> hey, im about to do a fresh ubuntu install, i made a backup of all my important files except for about 250gb of movies. is there a way to keep those files?
[14:40] <glebihan> vamsiiiii: no !
[14:40] <vamsiiiii> :( what can I do then ?
[14:40] <glebihan> vamsiiiii: that wouldn't be very secured
[14:40] <maedox> vamsiiiii: no, you have to use a live-cd and chroot to your partition, then do passwd.
[14:40] <rww> !password
[14:40] <pksadiq> vasmiiiii , can't do directly
[14:41] <st__> llutz, interactive utility in cron script is bad idea too
[14:41] <vamsiiiii> Idont care for security for now..unles I have root passworsd
[14:41] <vamsiiiii> but can I do it ?
[14:41] <blackshell> glebihan:and i write the alias command in .profile?
[14:41] <erfolg> notworking: is it just that the buttons are blank or is there no menu and everything at the top of your window?
[14:41] <llutz> st__: sure, but different story
[14:41] <glebihan> vamsiiiii: no you can't
[14:41] <glebihan> blackshell: yes
[14:41] <notworking> erfolg   Just the buttons menu disappears
[14:41] <vamsiiiii> can I replace x in /etc/passwd ?
[14:41] <st__> vamsiiiii, you should use passwd to edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
[14:41] <vamsiiiii> I can change my password..but forgot root login
[14:42] <glebihan> vamsiiiii: once again no, you won't have permission to edit that file anyway
[14:42] <vamsiiiii> the password.. so I want to edit /etc/passwd
[14:42] <st__> vamsiiiii, boot OS with init=/bin/dash then run passwd root
[14:42] <maedox> vamsiiiii: as I said, boot with a live-cd, sudo su in terminal, then mount /dev/sda1 /mnt;chroot /mnt   and lastly passwd, set new root password.
[14:42] <jcrawford> morning all
[14:42] <clu3> i find it strange that crontab does not have a "run as user" setting..
[14:42] <Rohanc> hi
[14:42] <vamsiiiii> ok
[14:42] <sacarlson> vamsiiiii: then $sudo vi /etc/passwd
[14:42] <erfolg> notworking: i had the same problem for awhile actually. i think it's something to do with having tons of things loading on startup. you can make fusion icon start on startup and then just reload window manager and it'll come back.
[14:42] <notworking> erfolg   Also, is there a way to enable and connect to the wireless network without having to do it manually every time I turn on the box???
[14:43] <maedox> clu3: it's just you. ;-)   read up on it.  you specify a username in crontab or do crontab -e as that user.

[14:45] <glebihan> davey3d: to know where a specific executable is (say gedit), run "whereis gedit"

[14:50] <undecim> researcher123: If you mean remove Lucid completely, then yes, that's fine.
[14:50] <researcher123> yes reformat
[14:50] <martez89> can i make a new partition with disk utility?
[14:50] <mobasher> is there anyway i can do a checksum of home directory and with ls (permissions and all -ltr) output to a file ?
[14:50] <pksadiq> reasearcher123 , what advantage you do see on 9.10 over 10.04?
[14:50] <undecim> researcher123: It would be no different than installing 9.10 fresh
[14:50] <erfolg> researcher123: that'd be fine but why would you install 9.10?
[14:50] <Osmosis>   hi, somebody know a way to accept by console the step that i have to follow of an aplication that i want to install
[14:50] <Osmosis>    the dpkg is blocked until accept the program steps
[14:51] <DroYeR> Hello, you know how to fix the boot error for the aspire one, acer-wmi: Unable to detect devices wmId avaiable?
[14:51] <undecim> mobasher: You want to MD5sum the output of the ls command?
[14:51] <researcher123> erfolg: because I lost GUI after last kernel update
[14:51] <pksadiq> DroYer , is the error shown after installing Nvidia drivers? I had the same
[14:51] <researcher123> currenyl Im in contact with u by live CD of 9.1
[14:51] <erfolg> researcher123: i remember when that happened to me on 9.10. :p
[14:51] <mobasher> undecim: like i'm able to find do a checksum to a output file ( find . \! -type p -exec cksum {} \; >> check.out) but I need the permissions and all as well in the file
[14:52] <sacarlson> Osmosis: what application might that be?
[14:52] <researcher123> erfolg: whats the way out then
[14:52] <maedox> researcher123: if you didn't remove the old kernels you can still boot them and reinstall the updated one!
[14:52] <pksadiq> researcher123 , didn't you install irssi?
[14:52] <Osmosis> syslog of balabit
[14:52] <researcher123> could not
[14:52] <Osmosis> sacarlson, syslog of balabit
[14:53] <erfolg> researcher123: to me the easiest way out of any problem is to format. i keep everything backed up so it takes me like an hour to completely reinstall on one of my systems. i'd say format and install 10.10.
[14:53] <undecim> mobasher: So you want a checksum you can use to verify that the every file in your home directory is in the same place with the same permissions and the same size?
[14:53] <maedox> researcher123: so it's not just the kernel update? did you have a look in the logs?
[14:53] <DroYeR> pksaid The error that I appeared to install ubuntu netbook remix 10.04, you know how to fix?
[14:53] <Rohanc> http://paste.ubuntu.com/503259/
[14:53] <mobasher> undecim: yes
[14:53] <researcher123> erfolg: but  will my ealier drives will b visible from live CD
[14:54] <martez89> is it safe to make a new partition on the hard disk the OS is installed on?
[14:54] <pksadiq> researcher123 , sure
[14:54] <researcher123> I cant c them why
[14:54] <DroYeR> pksadiq The error that I appeared to install ubuntu netbook remix 10.04, you know how to fix?
[14:54] <researcher123> yes I can see them all.Now what next could be done
[14:54] <erfolg> researcher123: yes. you can access them from the live cd. you have to mount them. then you can take the data you need and transfer it to an external harddrive or something.
[14:54] <undecim> mobasher: I think "ls -alR | md5sum > somefile" should suffice.
[14:54] <reggi> hey folks does ubuntu have a 'device manager' with a list of all the hardware devices listed?
[14:54] <dax2112rush1> Hi all, updatedb.mlocale is currently running and my system is highly unresponsive, however iotop shows priority idle. What could be wront?
[14:55] <pksadiq> DroYer, I'm afraid I'm not experianced in Notebooks or Laps
[14:55] <mobasher> undecim: thanks let me give it a shot and see if it works
[14:55] <DroYeR> :(
[14:55] <DroYeR> Hello, you know how to fix the boot error for the aspire one, acer-wmi: Unable to detect devices wmId avaiable?
[14:55] <seidos> reggi, the closest thing i can think of is lsmod and lshw
[14:55] <erfolg> researcher123: i.e. copy your home folder to an external drive so you can copy files back over to your new install.
[14:55] <undecim> mobasher: You should note that if the contents of a file changes, but not its size and modify time, that the md5 will not change.
[14:55] <pksadiq> DroYer , Let me try ?
[14:55] <martez89> can anyone uberhaupt hear me?
[14:56] <researcher123> erfolg: ok.im trying
[14:56] <reggi> ooh that's cool seidos
[14:56] <reggi> thanks
[14:56] <undecim> mobasher: It would still be possible for someone to modify a file without changing the modify time...
[14:56] <erfolg> martez89: bist du deutsch?
[14:56] <DroYeR> pksadiq ok
[14:56] <martez89> erfolg, no i am dutch :P
[14:56] <Mix|Work> hey all
[14:56] <sacarlson> Osmosis: sorry I don't see it in my repository and know almost nothing about
[14:56] <Mix|Work> i need to add a new app to bootup
[14:56] <researcher123> how do I know in which partition to install the new 9.1
[14:56] <Mix|Work> on system startup
[14:56] <erfolg> martez 89: cool.
[14:56] <Mix|Work> is it sysvconfig to do that?
[14:56] <mobasher> undecim: nope that didn't work...i don't md5 is the right one ..i need cksum
[14:57] <pksadiq> DroYer , after you get the Error Does ubuntu Freezes? Are you on it now>
[14:57] <pksadiq> DroYer , after you get the Error Does ubuntu Freezes? Are you on it now?
[14:57] <martez89> erfolg, no because i asked a couple of things but i didnt get any response
[14:57] <undecim> mobasher: Then replace md5sum with cksum
[14:57] <st__> mobasher, crc32 then
[14:57] <DroYeR> pksadiq It goes directly to the desktop
[14:57] <erfolg> researcher123: i would suggest installing 10.04 or 10.10 but in the installer just tell it to use the entire disk. be sure you backed up any files that you need though.
[14:57] <mobasher> st__: the command is cksum
[14:57] <reggi> hey folks, somehow I have lost my laptop's wired network adapter
[14:57] <maedox> Mix|Work: just add it to /etc/rc.local
[14:58] <erfolg> martez89: what were you wondering? i don't see everybody on here at times.
[14:58] <Mix|Work> add it above exit 0?
[14:58] <mobasher> i have been able to create a cksum..but i need listing with permissions showing and dates like (ls -ltraR + cksum)
[14:58] <martez89> i want to do a fresh ubuntu install but i don't want to lose 270gb of movies (the rest of my files have a back up)
[14:58] <andybiker> Is there a zorin chatroom?
[14:59] <martez89> should i make a partition with those files on it?
[14:59] <erfolg> martez89: how big is your harddrive?
[14:59] <martez89> erfolg, 500gb
[14:59] <DroYeR> pksadiq Google've seen all the error put in blacklist, it will be because there is still no solution?
[14:59] <pksadiq> DrYer, What is then the actual problem?
[14:59] <martez89> erfolg, all of my eternal hdd are full
[14:59] <Rohanc> http://paste.ubuntu.com/503259/
[14:59] <pksadiq> DroYer, What is then the actual problem?
[14:59] <undecim> mobasher:  Oh, perhaps I misunderstood you. You need a cksum of each individual file?
[14:59] <maedox> Mix|Work: yes
[14:59] <Osmosis>   hi, somebody know a way to accept by console the step that i have to follow of an aplication that i want to install
[14:59] <Osmosis>     the dpkg is blocked until accept the program steps
[14:59] <jappiecr> I installed Italc in edubuntu 10.04 ltsp environment (Tried both ltsp and server-only install!) while I was logged in as administrator. Everything works fine when am logged in as admin. But when I login as one of the teachers (or any other user) Italc tells me there no password found (?) and something with ICA. I tried the documentation but couldn't figure it out. The idea is that all teachers can login with their own account and then start using Italc
[14:59] <jappiecr> ..
 . Any ideas? Please help!
[14:59] <jappiecr> ps...I reinstalled Server-only install now ..
[14:59] <FloodBot4> jappiecr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:00] <Esat> Which dictionary software doesnt need to connect  to internet to translate?
[15:00] <st__> jappiecr, use their mail list
[15:00] <DroYeR> pksadiq As the problem is that this error comes out and does not load properly with the loading icon
[15:00] <llutz> Esat: dict
[15:00] <erfolg> martez89: i would delete everything off of that partition except those movies, then shorten it to the 270 gigs, then install ubuntu in the free space.
[15:00] <undecim> mobasher: So line, one like for example could be "-rw-r--r--  1 undecim undecim   838038 2010-09-21 17:58 /home/mobasher/.bashrc 2491089252 4047312" ?
[15:00] <Esat> llutz, how can i download it?
[15:01] <jappiecr> st_, will do!
[15:01] <llutz> Esat: sudo aptitude install dict (+dictionaries you need)
[15:01] <pksadiq> DroYer , Does ubuntu load untill the Desktop, and are U trying to say That there is irregularities in icons?
[15:02] <martez89> erfolg: that partition does not exist jet. I just installed gparted and i was wondering how i make the partition.
[15:02] <st__> Esat, also don't forget that most dictionaries are pirated and in rpm format
[15:02] <martez89> jet=yet
[15:02] <erfolg> martez89: first off you'll need to be booted in from a live cd.
[15:02] <DrPoO> hi
[15:02] <mobasher> undecim: yes exactly with checksum
[15:02] <DroYeR> pksadiq directly turn on the netbook out the error and loads the desktop,...
[15:03] <erfolg> martez89: then delete everything except your movies from the partition that exists now.
[15:03] <martez89> erfolg: i just copied an iso to a usb stick (ubuntu 10.10 rc)
[15:03] <glaucous> sudo grub-install /dev/sdc returns "cannot find a device for /boot/grub"
[15:03] <erfolg> martez89: ok. same thing then. the live cd actually has gparted installed.
[15:03] <erfolg> martez89: or liveusb in your case
[15:04] <st__> mobasher, use awk to combine ls line and checksum, or write the program in ython or something
[15:04] <martez89> erfolg, ok thanks i will do that
[15:04] <DrPoO> how do i add a program to run from start?
[15:04] <Esat> llutz,  i run "sudo aptitude install disc" command on terminal, it is downloading. how can i download other packages which i need?
[15:04] <undecim> mobasher: Okay, I understand what you want then... 1 sec.
[15:04] <erfolg> martez89: try to move it to the end of the drive if you can
[15:04] <DroYeR> glaucous ?
[15:04] <sacarlson> DrPoO: from boot?
[15:04] <erfolg> martez89: just seems nicer if ubuntu is at the beginning of the drive.
[15:04] <DrPoO> sacarlson, yup
[15:04] <st__> Esat, then steal some dictionaries to it
[15:04] <pksadiq> DroYer , :0 CAn't get your problem, sorry
[15:04] <martez89> efolg, the movie partition at the end you mean?
[15:04] <glebihan> glaucous: use the --root-directory option to set where the root of your installed filesystem is mounted
[15:04] <st__> Esat, you may need alien package to convert it
[15:05] <erfolg> martez89: yeah.
[15:05] <bazhang> st__, dont recommend piracy here.
[15:05] <sacarlson> DrPoO: my prefered method is cron
[15:05] <martez89> erfolg, I will ;)
[15:05] <DroYeR> pksadiq no problem, thanks
[15:05] <glaucous> glebihan, okay, testing it
[15:05] <erfolg> martez89: then install ubuntu to the free space
[15:05] <llutz> Esat: sorry, my bad, "ding" is what i meant, not dict (dict needs server)
[15:05] <erfolg> martez89: at the beginning.
[15:05] <DrPoO> sacarlson, what i want to have running is a service
[15:05] <martez89> erfolg, thanks and i will see you on the other side :P
[15:05] <llutz> Esat: sudo aptitude install ding
[15:05] <erfolg> martez89: gl
[15:05] <martez89> erfolg, merci

[15:05] <Sirisian|BB> Tortoise SVN is to Windows as ____ is to linux (ubuntu).
[15:05] <sacarlson> DrPoO: like http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/001021.html
[15:06] <sacarlson> DrPoO: a service might want to modify /etc/init.d
[15:06] <DroYeR> pksadiq wait for the next update if it fixes xD 10.10

[15:07] <glaucous> glebihan, seems to work, do I have to uninstall grub from my other drive?
[15:07] <glebihan> glaucous: not necessary, but you can if you want to
[15:08] <undecim> mobasher: alright, I've almost got it, but I'm having a problem with newlines, so give me another minute...
[15:08] <Rohanc> thanks glebihan. I cannot start my "Synaptic Package Manager".. it gives me error like this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/503259/  it is due to vlc i think
[15:08] <Esat> llutz, there is a blank screen here and a few packages. which one do i  need to install?
[15:08] <llutz> Esat: sudo aptitude install ding
[15:08] <mobasher> undecim: k no worries
[15:08] <Esat> llutz,  already

[15:09] <under> http://paste.linuxassist.net/215434 -> What wrong?
[15:09] <glaucous> glebihan, doubt I can boot as it is now, since grub is new-installed?
[15:09] <erfolg> DroYeR: sounds like you need to reformat.
[15:09] <glebihan> glaucous: I think it should work
[15:10] <glaucous> glebihan, okay, trying it
[15:10] <glebihan> glaucous: let me know if it's ok
[15:10] <DroYeR> erfolg already I formatted and continues leaving

[15:10] <llutz> Esat: what language?
[15:10] <Inferus> how do you get CUPS to record windows username pls?
[15:10] <LjL> Esat: then maybe you should have specified that :P
[15:11] <Esat> i search one word what mean on other language

[15:12] <Rohanc> could u give me directions?
[15:12] <Rohanc> I've installed ubuntu yesterday only..
[15:12] <undecim> mobasher: Okay, the ls command is causing problems, but I can fix that by using stat instead. What file info do you need? Anything other than permissions, filename, and checksum?
[15:12] <GHH> Is it possible to install Wimax internet usb modem?
[15:12] <glebihan> Rohanc: run "software-properties-gtk"
[15:13] <mobasher> undecim: dates and permissions will do

[15:18] <N-Tech> Hello, Im having a problem when I start up my computer.. it says Undefined video mode number 317.. and then i have to choose manually the right mode.. I have searched google.. no help really
[15:18] <Rohanc> this is my /etc/apt/sources.list file - http://paste.ubuntu.com/503287/
[15:19] <talas> GHH, what did you try and what did you get?
[15:19] <mobasher> undecim: i think we can use something like    find / -type p \ -exec ls -ltraR {} \; - exec cksum {} \; >>newfile.out
[15:19] <glaucous> glebihan, seems like its still booting from my other drive, even though I choose my new drive in boot menu
[15:19] <undecim> mobasher: Well, the ls command will print the filename twice.
[15:20] <undecim> mobasher: The ls will print it once, and the checksum a second time
[15:20] <GHH> talas, I did not tried to install it because i do not know how
[15:20] <glebihan> glaucous: well there I don't know, it's something in your bios
[15:21] <mobasher> undecim: yea that didn't work...i know it's in find command for sure...this is a freaky little tool

[15:23] <sivis> can i ask for some help here? +)
[15:23] <oonh> thanks
[15:23] <sarmisak> sivis, go ahead
[15:23] <glaucous> glebihan, highly doubt that
[15:23] <undecim> sivis: Ask away, and if anyone can help you, they will just right in with their advice.
[15:23] <talas> GHH, seems theres a package named 'madwimax' in the repos..
[15:23] <sivis> well, i've got dual boot right now,win 7 + ubuntu 10.04
[15:23] <glebihan> glaucous: well grub doesn't choose which drive the computer boots from
[15:23] <talas> GHH, does it support your device?
[15:23] <sivis> problem is, i've also got Raid 0 with 2 disks
[15:24] <GHH> talas, i am using old version
[15:24] <sivis> in ububntu whenever i use dmraid -ay on reboot windows do not recognize raid
[15:24] <glaucous> glebihan, of course. I could try removing the other drive and see what happens, even though  /home is still on it
[15:24] <sivis> i have managed to restore raid once
[15:24] <sivis> but now windows don't see it again
[15:24] <talas> GHH,old ubuntu version or old device version or old driver version?
[15:25] <glebihan> glaucous: that could at least give an idea of the problem
[15:25] <GHH> talas, old ubuntu version
[15:25] <GHH> talas, old ubuntu version 9
[15:25] <st__> where is my floppy?
[15:26] <sacarlson> st__: it's that small hole in the front
[15:26] <talas> GHH, you know you can upgrade to 10.04 with update manager, right?
[15:26] <sivis> arr damn
[15:26] <sacarlson> st__: and it's not the one on that girl you paid for
[15:26] <GHH> talas, yeah but problem my internet is too slow
[15:26] <Rohanc> thanks a lot glebihan .. now i can open Syn pack. manager.. but now what happened to my VLC player? it says coulcnot launch - Failed to execute child process "vlc" (No such file or directory)
[15:26] <st__> GRRRRR i put it in but cannot see it anywhere, does it mounted automatically?
[15:26] <GHH> talas, that is why i am trying to use wimax
[15:27] <rumpsy> internt slow !, maybe the provider problem
[15:27]  * glebihan wonders who still uses floppy disks
[15:27] <sacarlson> st__: it should mount in /media
[15:27] <undecim> sivis: So both OSs are on non-raid disks and boot, but only one of them can see the RAID at a time?
[15:27] <st__> why, I do
[15:27] <glebihan> Rohanc: yes the error message you were getting was coming from something related to vlc, reinstall it
[15:27] <st__> there 's only cdrom in media
[15:28] <st__> should udisks take car of this?
[15:28] <sacarlson> st__: I'm not sure flopy will auto mount
[15:28] <glaucous> glebihan, well it boots.. to menu and boots ubuntu, although it says that there are missing modules. and ALERT! dev/disk/by-uuid/[UUID of my other disabled drive] does not exist.
[15:28] <Rohanc> glebihan could u please tell me how do I install the latest version of VLC ? i.e. 1.1.4 not 1.0.6 that comes from syn. pack. manager
[15:29] <flavetius3> che differenza c'è tra DSL Connection e Auto eth0? perché io prima con le altre versioni di ubuntu quando mi connettevo automaticamente il sistema si connetteva in autho eth0 e potevo condividere i file anche con gli altri pc della rete, ora solo con DSL connection posso navigare, ma così facendo non posso più condividere niente come posso fare a reimpostare auto eth0?
[15:29] <glaucous> glaucous, but there's only /home on that drive, there shouldnt be any modules?
[15:29] <mobasher> undecim: yea i know what you mean..it's painful
[15:29] <undecim> mobasher: You still there?

[15:29] <st__> glaucous, probably there's wrong UUID in fstab
[15:29] <mobasher> undecim: yeap still here :)
[15:29] <st__> glaucous, or in frub
[15:29] <undecim> mobasher: Did the line I posted work like you needed?
[15:30] <flavetius3> When I try to connect with auto eth0 the system no do in automatic, what can I configure to active it?
[15:30] <glaucous> st__, I did copy the partition from one drive and to another, I then changed the UUID of my copied partition on my new drive to avoid any problems. I did change the fstab file to the new UUID though
[15:30] <glebihan> Rohanc: I'm looking at it
[15:30] <st__> ahem I typed mount /dev/fd/0 and it says no entry in fstab
[15:30] <mobasher> undecim: seems like it..what's the command let me test it
[15:30] <warred> good day/nite
[15:30] <Rohanc> I'll wait glebihan.. thanks
[15:31] <warred> hello to everyone
[15:31] <undecim> mobasher: find . \! -type p \! -type d -exec sh -c "stat -c '%A %y' \"{}\" | tr '\n' ' '; cksum \"{}\";" \; >> check.out
[15:31] <sacarlson> st__: I think you need to add a mount point if not in fstab
[15:31] <nozes> bom dia!
[15:31] <warred> i need something of help related to grub, i've searched but cant find certain answer, can someone help me?
[15:32] <undecim> st__: You need to either add a line in fstab or specify a mount point.
[15:32] <sacarlson> warred: maybe?
[15:32] <talas> GHH, seems the madwimax package is in lucid only.. you could ofcourse go here and fiddle with it: http://code.google.com/p/madwimax/downloads/list
[15:32] <st__> which is correct line for floppies?
[15:32] <talas> GHH, I however think that getting a newer version of ubuntu first is a better idea
[15:32] <cinnabarisland12> hey guys, running 10.10 Beta here, how can I upgrade to the RC?
[15:32] <mobasher> undecim: yea your command is fine..but seems like this sunos system is not liking the stat command..lmao
[15:32] <glebihan> Rohanc: run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc", then "sudo apt-get update"
[15:33] <undecim> mobasher: Ahh, this is a non-Ubuntu machine?
[15:33] <GHH> talas, yeah,,,,, But problem is Net speed. I will upgrade it after get the wimax connection
[15:33] <glebihan> Rohanc: version 1.1.4 should then be available
[15:34] <cinnabarisland12> running 10.10 beta how do I get the Release Candidate?
[15:34] <warred> how i delete grub from a partition. I have 2 grubs but i just want one, what should i do?
[15:34] <Rohanc> it is processing now.. let you know when it is done..
[15:34] <mobasher> undecim: yea unfortunately...sunos server 10
[15:34] <mobasher> no worries i'm closing i think i got it now
[15:34] <glebihan> cinnabarisland12: you don't have to get it, just run "sudo apt-get upgrade", and maverick support on #ubuntu+1
[15:34] <undecim> mobasher: Well, the stat command just ouputs the permissions and the modification time. Figure out what command on yours does similar and you can just replace that part of the command.
[15:34] <sacarlson> warred: well you only boot one so keep the other as a backup if your other disk fails
[15:34] <mobasher> undecim: i think i'll figure the rest out thanks for your help though
[15:35] <st__> what should I write to fstab for floppy disk?
[15:35] <warred> sacarlson: but how i set this because i have sata disk
[15:35] <glaucous> glebihan, I'm just gonna re-install Ubuntu correctly, I have a feeling this might bring even more problems right now
[15:36] <GHH> talas, that will 100% work?
[15:36] <glebihan> glaucous: ok, good luck then
[15:36] <sacarlson> warred: well I guess your bios will be the point that picks what boots first
[15:36] <sacarlson> warred: normaly default is /dev/sda1
[15:37] <GHH> talas, it is a dongel modem . Default windows software with it .
[15:37] <talas> GHH, I can't guarantee anything.. never used wimax and don't know who's making the driver either..
[15:37] <warred> sacarlson: yeap i have the sys. at /dev/sdb5
[15:37] <glebihan> Rohanc: still there ?
[15:37] <GHH> talas, also i currently using USB modem for internet
[15:37] <Rohanc> yes.. now I ran "sudo apt-get install vlc"
[15:37] <adac> Is it planned to support openvz for Ubuntu 10.04??
[15:37] <Rohanc> it is now downloading
[15:37] <sacarlson> warred: is that the root or the grub point
[15:38] <glaucous> glebihan, I forgot, what was the command to get all partition UUIDs?
[15:38] <sarmisak> blkid
[15:38] <glebihan> glaucous: blkid
[15:38] <glaucous> glebihan, sarmisak, thanks
[15:38] <delinquentme> anyone know how ot get the default ubuntu search tool to searching WITHIN hidden files?
[15:38] <warred> sacarlson: let me check fstab to see maybe I'm wrong with the partition
 yeah, and it seems like dmraid crashes raid on windows
[15:39] <Rohanc> I think it takes sometime to download, as my download speed is around 60KBPS
[15:39] <sivis> undecim: yeah, and it seems like dmraid crashes raid on windows
[15:39] <sacarlson> warred: I think normaly the bios only looks at the first few sectors of a disk for boot.  no fstab won't point to grub start
[15:40] <ugliefrog> can someone assit me with some sound issues.....My sound on mythbuntu wont play during live tv and vlc pvr mode doesnt have any sound either...everywhere else i h ave sound..how can i pinpoint the problem
[15:40] <sacarlson> warred: I could be wrong maybe bios can point to a patition inside a disk?
[15:40] <w0_> I just installed apache2 on my ubuntu desktop, and I cannot connect form the outside, is there a blocked port or something?? much thx
[15:40] <dajhorn> The BIOS only reads the first sector during boot.  Nothing more.
[15:40] <glebihan> Rohanc: ok nice
[15:41] <sacarlson> dajhorn: thank for that.  that's what I thought
[15:41] <Benkinooby> hi, i pretty much crippled my ubuntu in every way(packages, scripts, config, ...). i was planning to wait with reinstall until 10.10 but then it came to my mind, that this is my only productive system and i need a relieable OS. how trustworthy are the ubuntu after their release? or should i stay/reinstall with 10.04?
[15:41] <glebihan> Rohanc: I hadn't seen your messages, try keeping with mentioning the nick of who you're talking to
[15:41] <dajhorn> sacarlson: Welcome.
[15:42] <Benkinooby> delinquentme, what do you mean by default search tool? the one in nautlius?
[15:42] <warred> sacarlson: well any way, theres a way to hide/delete the grub at first disk?
[15:42] <sacarlson> warred: so you can't point bios at /dev/sda5 then only sda
[15:42] <Rohanc> glebhian: after that I ran "sudo apt-get install vlc" it is taking time to download
[15:42] <delinquentme> app > acessories > Search for Files..
[15:42] <sacarlson> warred:  or sdb
[15:42] <delinquentme> Benkinooby, ^
[15:42] <warred> sacarlson: well i checked, and its sdb1 the system
[15:43] <warred> no sdb5
[15:43] <Rohanc> glebihan: sorry I didn't know that, I'll mention ur name from now onwards
[15:43] <warred> my wrong
[15:43] <ugliefrog> *can someone assit me with some sound issues.....My sound on mythtv wont play during live tv and vlc pvr mode doesnt have any sound either...everywhere else i h ave sound..how can i pinpoint the problem
[15:43] <Benkinooby> delinquentme, ?
[15:44] <sacarlson> warred: you can't hide or move the boot partition only change the drive
[15:45] <delinquentme> Benkinooby, natuilus is like the GUI right? ... applications > Accessories > search for files ... is the search im asking about
[15:45] <sacarlson> warred:  but there is chaining
[15:45] <delinquentme> Benkinooby, so i think the answer to your question is yes
[15:45] <warred> scarlson: so for change disks of cable will be now sda the sdb disk?
[15:46] <Rohanc> glebihan: it is still on.. at 35% completion of downloading
[15:46] <glebihan> Rohanc: wow! what download speed are you getting ?
[15:46] <warred> i mean linux set sda or sdb depending in wich cable are at?
[15:47] <sacarlson> warred: move the disk physical cable position? the patition will still boot with uuid but the boot partition will move
[15:47] <warred> *which
[15:47] <Benkinooby> delinquentme, hmm..not sure. but the answer to you question is, click on "select more options" and the "available options" and then "show hidden and packup files"
[15:47] <Rohanc> glebihan: my official ISP speed is 512kbps, here in the terminal window it shows 64KB/sec
[15:47] <Rohanc> glebihan: u mean it is slow or fast?
[15:48] <warred> sacarlson: well brb will restart
[15:48] <glebihan> Rohanc: quite slow... but as long as it works
[15:48] <andybiker> Any Zorin users here?
[15:49] <annaki2321> hi.. maybe someone can help me.. somebody has been trying to remotely control my pc for the past week.. i always say refuse.. how can that be?
[15:49] <Benkinooby> delinquentme, i have 2 "search-tools" in my menu. one is "search for files" and the other "search for files and folders". if you use the first one, follow the instrcutions i gave you. if you have the second one, there should be a small checkbox for "show hidden files" in the left lower corner
[15:49] <Rohanc> glebihan: yeah.. that type of speed is quite common in India... now at 45%
[15:50] <andybiker> annaki2321, usualy you have to give permission to someone, and then it is only short term. sounds like your firewall needs beefing up
[15:51] <glebihan> Rohanc: getting so quickly used to download at about 2MB/s ;)
[15:51] <annaki2321> andybiker: true.. but how can they know my ip addy.. mac addy.. etc? to try and connect?
[15:51] <AVerTV> i have a Pentium III  750 MHz  256MB RAM running Ubuntu lucid. Everything worked ok but it was very slow running Gnome so i installed fluxbox and now everything works ok except my AverMedia AVerTV Volar Black HD (A850) which is a TDT USB device. It actually kinda works under gnome but the picture is a bit jerky and i lose audio within 20 seconds of running kaffeine. Can anyone help me?
[15:51] <AVerTV> http://pastebin.com/ET5tFUUV
[15:51] <andybiker> hacking?
[15:51] <israfil> hello
[15:51] <israfil> i've got one question
[15:51] <greppy> AVerTV: upgrade your hardware would be my guess.
[15:51] <glebihan> !ask | israfil
[15:51] <AVerTV> on a fluxbox  session dmesg shows no errors but Kaffeine says: "device not connected"
[15:52] <annaki2321> andybiker: might it be thru my wifi router or just remotely?
[15:52] <Rohanc> glebihan: Lucky you :))
[15:52] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, do you have any sound under fluxbox?
[15:52] <warred> well I back
[15:53] <AVerTV> greppy, the AVerTV Volar Black HD (A850) works ok on XP on the same hardware. NO, i do not have windows myself.
[15:53] <sacarlson> AVerTV: I think xbuntu might be better for that kind of system
[15:53] <israfil> i installed KDevelop 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 (or was ist 4.0.2?) on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx but i think the debugger is not working already. Am i right? What program could i use instead?
[15:53] <andybiker> annaki2321, could be your router and wireless is not very secure. Check your router password isn't too simple and change your wireless password
[15:53] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, yes maybe give xubuntu a shot or even luxbuntu wich is a biss slimmer tha xubuntu
[15:54] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, yes i do have sound
[15:54] <glebihan> Rohanc: hehe, but was still using a 56kpbs connection not that long ago...
[15:54] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, yes i do have sound on fluxbox
[15:54] <annaki2321> andybiker: my wifi router has no password at the moment.. i keep checking the connection status and only my 2 computers are connected to it..
[15:54] <andybiker> Get your passwords setup you fool!
[15:55] <andybiker> anybody can join at any time
[15:55] <Rohanc> glebihan: I wonder how to install apps in ubuntu in offline mode? take for example VLC alone.. yeah but terminal window downloads at a slow speed - half of it 30KB/sec now
[15:55] <annaki2321> is there a way someone would hide it from me seeing it?
[15:55] <andybiker> If you let them control the system, then yes
[15:55] <Rohanc> still on .. at 57% completion
[15:55] <warred> sacarlson: hello again, i was thinking if i cant delete the grub from sda. there's a way to change it because the sda grub is damaged so how can I mod or correct the sda grub?
[15:56] <glebihan> Rohanc: if you download the package, you can install it using gdebi, or gdebi-gtk for a gui
[15:56] <glebihan> Rohanc: "dpkg -i" can also be used
[15:56] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, xubuntu and lubruntu are lighter because they do NOT have gnome or kde. That is excatly my case, i do not run gnome, i run fluxbox which is lighter than xfce and lxde
[15:57] <Rohanc> glebihan: could u give me a link for the package of VLC ubuntu one? and what is "dpkg -i" &what does it do?
[15:57] <andybiker> annaki2321, http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew.sharp3/Router.html, read the bottom section especially!
[15:58] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, oh, i understood, that it's working under gnome very slow and under fluxbox not at all. so my assuption was, that gnome is starting some services wich you are missing under fluxbox
[15:58] <glebihan> Rohanc: you can find all the needed packages there : https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/vlc/+build/1960006
[15:58] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, i think you are right
[15:58] <crazy2k_> I want to remove some string of text from every page of a pdf. Any ideas?
[15:58] <xeross> I installed the ATI FGLRX drivers from the Ubuntu Repository but I have really poor performance in even the more simple games, how can I fix this as I'm using an HD5850 and 10FPS is just way too low
[15:59] <glebihan> Rohanc: "dpkg -i packagename.deb" installs a package on the system, providing all the dependencies are already installed
[15:59] <Seeker`> !google test
[15:59] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, so how do i solve the problem? i do not want to install lubuntu or xubuntu
[15:59] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, so what you can do is to see what processes are running under gnome
[15:59] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, use the command "ps -A"
[15:59] <st__> xeross, try catalyst
[15:59] <xeross> st__: ?
[15:59] <cmyk> hi
[15:59] <Benkinooby> maybe pipe it to a file so you have it later at hand when you comare it to the ps-result of fluxbox
[16:00] <Rohanc> glebihan: ok thanks, but where do I have to keep the "packagename.deb" file in my system after downloading it?
[16:00] <st__> xeross, official driovers
[16:00] <xeross> st__: aren't the fglrx ones the official ones ?
[16:00] <glebihan> Rohanc: well you can download it wherever you want, then install it; once it's installed, you can delete it
[16:00] <st__> xeross, full package from AMD
[16:00] <Benkinooby> then compare and see if you see some differences that are related to multimedia/audio or so... this is how i would do it
[16:00] <xeross> st__: Yeah that has a DKMS error so I can't install that
[16:00] <cmyk> installed ubuntu 10.0.4 for netbook on a asus eeePC. Result after booting from HD: error: no such device: [hexnr]
[16:00] <cmyk> grub rescue> _
[16:01] <cmyk> It seems that I have real bad luck with ubuntu so far.
[16:01] <Benkinooby> usually i start service by service under fluxbox until it works, and then try to stop service by service until only those services are running that are necessary
[16:01] <andybiker> cmyk, there is mint and zorin which are forms of ubuntu
[16:01] <Rohanc> glebhihan: but u said to run the command "dpkg -i packagename.deb" right? in order to execute the command, the location of "packagename.deb" is independent?
[16:02] <andybiker> both veery cool
[16:02] <sacarlson> cmyk: I have an eeepc I use easypeasy
[16:02] <sunkaras> andybiker, can we install mint and ubuntu together?
[16:02] <cmyk> and??
[16:02] <andybiker> I have mint, kubuntu and zorin on 3 10GB partitions
[16:02] <andybiker> zorin is great!
[16:02] <cmyk> what does this grub rescue mean?
[16:02] <cmyk> It had win XP on it before
[16:03] <st__> cmyk, that your boot partition died
[16:03] <glebihan> Rohanc: no that works if you're in the folder where the file was downloaded
[16:03] <Rohanc> glebihan: I like to prefer terminal window to graphical interface when installing or anything like that
[16:03] <cmyk> I let that partition there and installed ubuntu next to it
[16:03] <xeross> st__: And I doubt that ATI will take the blame for it :/
[16:03] <cmyk> great.
[16:03] <sunkaras> i have a windows and installed ubuntu.. on one partition..so is there a tool to repartition to install mint.. just wany to try it
[16:03] <cmyk> easy to use, right?
[16:03] <cmyk> my a**
[16:03] <glebihan> Rohanc: if you download to the desktop for example, you'll have to run "sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/packagename.deb"
[16:03] <sacarlson> cmyk: http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ is a dirivitive of ubuntu just had all the drivers setup for it
[16:03] <clu3> rww, i think i forgot to thank u :)
[16:04] <andybiker> check your windows by using fixmbr on your rescue disk.
[16:04] <jpds> cmyk: I hope you have learnt how to use that.
[16:04] <sacarlson> cmyk: mybe just get the kernel from them
[16:04] <cmyk> why wouldn't the official ubuntu iso not work?
[16:04] <Rohanc> glebihan: thanks for the last command.. that made me clear my doubt.. what does "~" stand for in the command?
[16:04] <cmyk> I made a usb stick with it, and it started up from it no problem
[16:05] <glebihan> Rohanc: ~ points to your home folder
[16:05] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, will look into it. can you recommend a lighter and currently developed  application to watch digital television? Kaffeine is great but...
[16:05] <cmyk> just the darn installation failed
[16:05] <Benkinooby> ~ is your homedirectory
[16:05] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, sorry, i have no experience with it
[16:05] <sacarlson> cmyk: the athose wifi isn't perfect in ubuntu at present
[16:05] <cmyk> so easypeasy is the best option?
[16:05] <Rohanc> glebihan: glad to know that.. now where do I learn more commands?
[16:06] <st__> ~ is very costly operation, try to avoid it if you can
[16:06] <glebihan> Rohanc: what kind of commands ?
[16:06] <Rohanc> Benkinooby: thanks for ur info too :)
[16:06] <sacarlson> cmyk: it worked for me but havn't tried ubuntu on it in some time
[16:06] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, if you are using the computer only for TV, then there are extra linux-distributions wich are dedicated to be media-centers only
[16:06] <glebihan> st__: is that a joke ?
[16:06] <sacarlson> cmyk: I have the old 901 version
[16:06] <six66> hay I wana add a perl script run on my fluxbox menu .. but I dont know how to put it
[16:06] <cmyk> i got the 900AX
[16:06] <cmyk> not me but my client
[16:07] <st__> no, it causes the passwd to be parsed each time it's expanded
[16:07] <six66> I kw how to edit menu items . I just dont kw how to do the perl script
[16:07] <cmyk> I would never buy such a piece of junk ;-)
[16:07] <Rohanc> glebihan: i dont know, I just like to use terminal more often, like running an application, uninstalling an application, opening up a folder in system.. like basic stuff at least
[16:07] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, the best media player is VLC. it is specially good in streaming.. i am sure you know it. maybe vlc can be used
[16:07] <six66> hay I wana add a perl script run on my fluxbox menu .. but I dont know how to put it
[16:07] <six66> hay I wana add a perl script run on my fluxbox menu .. but I dont know how to put it
[16:07] <sacarlson> cmyk: I love it
[16:07] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, i use my PIII laptop for web browsing, word processing, music playing, chatting, etc.
[16:07] <six66> I kw how to edit menu items . I just dont kw how to do the perl script
[16:07] <FloodBot4> six66: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:07] <Benkinooby> six go to the fluxbox channel
[16:07] <greppy> If you are worried about the expansion of ~ being a problem, you have other issues.
[16:08] <Benkinooby> six66 go to the fluxbox channel
[16:08] <six66> whats that channel name #fluxbox ?
[16:08] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, can vlc be use to watch digital tv?  i am not talking about streaming digital tv
[16:08] <cmyk> it's weird, when I have the stick attached, the boot menu shows up
[16:08] <Rohanc> glebihan: now at 90%
[16:08] <cmyk> when I remove it and start up, the above error appears
[16:09] <sacarlson> AVerTV: I have a tv card but not sure what I used to make it work
[16:09] <cmyk> what do I have to do to start it up without the darn stick attached?
[16:09] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, it supports digital tvv http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html
[16:09] <Benkinooby> tv
[16:09] <st__> cmyk, are you on PC?
[16:09] <glebihan> Rohanc: here you'll find a good list of bash commands : http://ss64.com/bash/
[16:09] <sacarlson> AVerTV: I think I used xawtv
[16:10] <cmyk> well, I installed it on a eeePC 900AX
[16:10] <andybiker> sacarlson, did it prompt you to install a driver for it? if not try using xine or mplayer or totem
[16:10] <ugliefrog> is the a pluseaudio setting like alsamixer
[16:10] <cmyk> I am on Mac otherwise, luckily :)
[16:10] <skrite> hey all, is there a 64bit version of skype anyone has had success with?
[16:10] <sacarlson> andybiker: no it worked out of the box
[16:10] <sacarlson> andybiker: I no longer have it installed
[16:10] <andybiker> so it should work with one of the players
[16:11] <AVerTV> sacarlson, xawtv works with anolog televsion, not with digital one
[16:11] <sacarlson> AVerTV: oh ya it was analog
[16:11] <cmyk> st__: so?
[16:11] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, vlc know how to handle digital tv, see the link i sent you
[16:11] <sacarlson> AVerTV: hooked to my cable tv
[16:11] <andybiker> sacarlson, tvtime would do it then or xawtv
[16:12] <Rohanc> glebihan: thanks, that's so helpful..
[16:12] <glebihan> Rohanc: and here is the complete bash reference manual : http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html
[16:13] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, i have vlc installed and i use on my PIII laptop to watch films but i have no idea how i would go about watching digital tv with vlc
[16:14] <cmyk> Okay, I try again: why does it start up having my USB (with the netbook image on it) connected, but not without it?
[16:14] <Rohanc> glebihan: I'll check that one too.. I'm again in doubt of - https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/vlc/+build/1960006 on the bottom of the page there are so many files that end with .deb, which one do I have to download?
[16:15] <greppy> cmyk: is it booting off of the usb stick?
[16:15] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, this was the first google result http://davidwinter.me.uk/articles/2008/02/08/watching-freeview-dvb-t-tv-with-vlc-player-on-ubuntu/
[16:15] <cmyk> I don't know, by the slowness of it: yes
[16:15] <greppy> (I've been kind of lurking, so may have missed it) how did you install on the hard drive?
[16:16] <cmyk> but why the hell?
[16:16] <glebihan> Rohanc: well that's the problem with downloading packages before installing it, the main package is "vlc_1.1.4-1u1~ppa2_amd64.deb", but you'll also need some of the others as they are dependencies of the main one
[16:16] <cmyk> I followd the instructions for the usb stick for windows
[16:16] <juk> Im getting Failed to load resource in chromium console on google search autocomplete
[16:17] <juk> bug?
[16:17] <greppy> cmyk: which instructions? have a link handy?
[16:17] <cmyk> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[16:17] <cmyk> Burn your CD or create a USB drive
[16:17] <Rohanc> glebihan: ok, how do I know other dependencies to download? download everything that says *amd64.deb ?
[16:18] <cmyk> selected USB stick and Windows
[16:18] <krisphillips> Hey guys, got a quick question for you all.
[16:18] <krisphillips> How do you disable usb sleep?
[16:18] <xeross> st__: Official drivers installed from the ATI/AMD website (FGLRX) still slow
[16:18] <greppy> cmyk: did you follow the directions for clicking on the "install Ubuntu 10.04" after you booted off the usb drive?
[16:18] <glebihan> Rohanc: no you won't need all of them, when trying to install a package, if dependencies are missing, dpkg will tell which packages you need
[16:19] <cmyk> yes
[16:19] <greppy> hrm
[16:19] <cmyk> i just left everything as it was set
[16:19] <krisphillips> Anyone know how to disable USB sleep?
[16:19] <cmyk> not special settings
[16:19] <greppy> cmyk: what happens when you try to boot without the usb drive plugged in?
[16:19] <Rohanc> glebihan: thanks.. i'll try one or two other softwares and check it myself
[16:19] <Rohanc> glebihan: download completed, problem not resolved says - Fetched 98.4MB in 37min 21s (43.9kB/s)  - E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libattr1'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)
[16:19] <cmyk> I get this:
[16:19] <cmyk> installed ubuntu 10.0.4 for netbook on a asus eeePC. Result after booting from HD: error: no such device: [hexnr]
[16:19] <cmyk> [grub rescue> _
[16:20] <juk> Im getting Failed to load resource in chromium console on google search autocomplete, is it bug?
[16:20] <cmyk> sorry, just recopied what I stated in the beginning
[16:20] <cmyk> how can I fix this?
[16:20] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, will read that, thanks
[16:20] <krisphillips> Guys, I need an answer to this.  Anybody help please?
[16:21] <cmyk> It must have written the bootloader onto the stick instead of the hd
[16:21] <glebihan> Rohanc: did it complete the installation, or did it stop ?
[16:21] <cmyk> it completed
[16:21] <greppy> cmyk: when you boot off the of the flash drive, is it like the first time?  ie it's still a "live" version with the option to install?
[16:21] <krisphillips> Help please
[16:21] <cmyk> said I should restart to start from the hd for better speed (right, lol)
[16:21] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, good luck... it is a bit outdate but it sould help... but i am very sure, that VLC is what you need.. i hope it will be fast enough
[16:22] <cmyk> no, no option install
[16:22] <cmyk> If  I have the usb stick connected I get the bootloader menu
[16:22] <Rohanc> glebihan: it doesn't say anything like completed installation or stopped installetion just those two lines at the end
[16:22] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, thanks very much for your advice
[16:22] <cmyk> if not, I get the error message
[16:22] <greppy> it sounds like grub is trying to boot off of the wrong disk, possibly.
[16:22] <krisphillips> Does anyone know the ACPI kernel option to disable USB sleep?
[16:22] <krisphillips> or if there is one?
[16:22] <glebihan> Rohanc: ok try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure libattr1"
[16:23] <krisphillips> How is there 1182 members in this IRC channel and NOBODY that can help me?
[16:23] <Copernic> I'm trying to play enemy territory, but my sound doesnt work, I changed the sound dev from /dev/dsp to /dev/adsp, but now it says it's muted :(
[16:24] <Rohanc> glebihan: after executing that command it says - dpkg-query: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 11 package 'xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse': file details field `Size' not allowed in status file /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: libattr1 is not installed
[16:24] <krisphillips> What is an ACPI option that I can use to disable USB sleep?
[16:25] <ksbalaji> im using livecd 10.04 I have installed in hdd but does not boot.(dual boot with win7) Any help booting 10.4 in hard disk?
[16:25] <ugliefrog> is there a command for the terminal to check sound card
[16:25] <glebihan> Rohanc: try "apt-get -f install libattr1"
[16:25] <krisphillips> ksbalaji, when you installed it to the hard drive, did you install it with GRUB?
[16:26] <Copernic> ksbalaji, did you install win7 first ?
[16:26] <ksbalaji> krishphillips, I do not remember. I installed from this live cd. Probably yes.
[16:26] <cmyk> great, how do I fix it?
[16:26] <krisphillips> ksbalaji, did you install Windows 7 first or Ubuntu first?
[16:26] <Jon--> I have a .sh script on the desktop that runs some music for my dad, he is kind of computer dumb however. Any way to make it run and not come up with DIsplay / Run / Run in terminal ?
[16:26] <ksbalaji> copernic I installed win7 first.
[16:27] <juk> Im getting Failed to load resource in chromium console on google search autocomplete, is it bug?
[16:27] <jrib> juk: create a launcher
[16:27] <jrib> erm
[16:27] <jrib> Jon--: create a launcher
[16:27] <krisphillips> Ok, and when you installed then, you installed it with separate partitions, not using wubi, correct?
[16:27] <Rohanc> glebihan: it didnt work too - Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y  E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libselinux1'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)
[16:27] <ksbalaji> krishphillips hey this tab autofill thing does not work in livecd. ok I installed win7 first.
[16:27] <juk> < jrib> juk: create a launcher
[16:28] <juk> didn't get you
[16:28] <krisphillips> ksbalaji, did you use wubi or install windows 7 and ubuntu to seperate partitions?
[16:28] <jrib> juk: wrong nick, sorry
[16:28] <Copernic> ksbalaji, hmmz, strange, you need to fix your grub installation,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[16:28] <ksbalaji> krishphi... I partitioned leaving free space with win7 then partitioned again freespace with gpart.
[16:28] <juk> jrib: what about autocomletion?
[16:28] <cmyk> okay. great. I'll just install something else then
[16:29] <ksbalaji> copernic I shall see that
[16:29] <krisphillips> Yeah, chances are, all you need to do is reinstall GRUB to the Master Boot Record
[16:29] <glebihan> Rohanc: download http://mirror.in.th/ubuntu/pool/main/a/attr/libattr1_2.4.44-1_amd64.deb and install it with "sudo dpkg -i --force-depends"
[16:29] <Copernic> ksbalaji, wait, I'm looking for some more easy tutorial
[16:29] <krisphillips> and have it redetect the partitions
[16:30] <krisphillips> Now, does anyone know how to keep usb from sleeping using acpi or something similar
[16:30] <krisphillips> I need to let the machine still sleep, but keep the usb ports alive
[16:30] <krisphillips> or restart all the usb ports
[16:30] <krisphillips> or SOMETHING
[16:31] <krisphillips> because my keyboard and mouse don't work after coming out of sleep sometimes
[16:31] <juk> jrib: you said create launcher, why launcher?
[16:31] <Rohanc> glebihan: i have downloaded it to dektop so the final command is "sudo dpkg -i --force-depends ~/dekstop/libattr1_2.4.44-1_amd64.deb" ?
[16:31] <jrib> juk: I meant to say it to jon--, not you
[16:31] <krisphillips> ANYBODY!?!?!  Gosh, I feel like I'm talking to a wall
[16:31] <glebihan> Rohanc: yes, except replace dekstop by Desktop
[16:31] <juk> jrib: oh, damn it, sorry, missunderstood
[16:32] <jrib> !helpme | krisphillips
[16:32] <Copernic> ksbalaji, do you get an error or does it just plainly start win7?
[16:32] <glaucous> I just bought and installed a SSD. Now when I have installed Ubuntu it reports that it might be failing. Checking the SMART status it says that "Disk was used outside of design parameters"
[16:32] <krisphillips> !repeat
[16:33] <krisphillips> I don't understand why disabling usb sleep is such a hard task for anyone to have any advice what so ever
[16:33] <Rohanc> glebihan: didn't work says - dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 11 package 'xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse': file details field `Size' not allowed in status file
[16:33] <jrib> krisphillips: not sure what you think... do you think we know but are purposefully ignoring you?
[16:34] <krisphillips> I think that I would rather have someone say they aren't sure, but you COULD try thi
[16:34] <krisphillips> or SOMETHING
[16:34] <krisphillips> I mean, I don't care if your idea makes no sense at all
[16:34] <krisphillips> I just wish someone would help me bounce ideas on how to fix my problem instead of just letting me ask the same questions over and over
[16:34] <jrib> krisphillips: if no one answers you, it means we don't know.  It doesn't make sense for 1000 people to say "I don't know"
[16:35] <jrib> krisphillips: try giving more details, rephrasing your question, etc.  I have no clue what "usb sleep" is
[16:35] <glebihan> Rohanc: try "sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.bad", then "sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status" and then the previous command again
[16:35] <juk> i imagined 1185 people saying i don't know
[16:36] <clarezoe> Hi, my network manager system tray icon is missing, can anyone help? When I kill nm-applet and restart it, I can see it in the system monitor
[16:36] <aeon-ltd> i don't know
[16:36] <glebihan> juk: that would be unpleasant
[16:36] <cheyne> completely new to linux anyone have any good resources for learning the cmd line?
[16:36] <aeon-ltd> clarezoe: have you added the notification area to your panel?
[16:36] <krisphillips> jrib: Well, basically, what happens is when the monitor goes to sleep, so does the machine.  Its the timeout at the log on screen that makes the computer sleep and turn off the monitor, drive, etc.  I need to let the machine continue to go to sleep so that the screen doesn't burn in, but the keyboard and mouse don't reinitialize sometimes when the computer wakes up.
[16:37] <Rohanc> glebihan: nothing happend, I ran a total of three commands , it doesn't say anything to me..
[16:37] <krisphillips> So I need to let everything sleep but the USB ports
[16:37] <glebihan> Rohanc: no error ?
[16:37] <aeon-ltd> cheyne: depends what you wanna do, but if you find a command just read its man pages (with "man nameofapp")
[16:37] <Copernic> ksbalaji, I think this is what you need http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/how-to-recover-grub2-linux.html
[16:37] <clarezoe> aeon-ltd, yeah, I have all the other notifications showing like power, monitor etc.
[16:37] <Copernic> I'm trying to play enemy territory, but my sound doesnt work, I changed the sound dev from /dev/dsp to /dev/adsp, but now it says it's muted :(
[16:37] <aeon-ltd> clarezoe: can you add a network manager manually on "add to panel" when right clicking
[16:37] <glebihan> Rohanc: and you ran the dpkg -i command ?
[16:37] <krisphillips> Which I know is possible, because Windows has an option for it.  HOWEVER, linux is so stuck on command line that solving an issue like this is entirely hack and slash, it feels like
[16:37] <jrib> krisphillips: check bugs.ubuntu.com for an existing bug.  I had something similar happen to my touchpad on my macbook a few releases ago.  The workaround was to remove and then modprobe the relevant module, but the bug has since been fixed
[16:38] <Rohanc> glebihan: it didn't say anything, resumed to new line, waiting for me to enter a command
[16:38] <seidos> anyone know why i can't get italc to run?  i get this error:  http://imagebin.org/116427
[16:38] <Copernic> with /dev/dsp ET said it was busy, isn't this a multi channel device ?
[16:38] <juk> cheyne: linuxcommand.org
[16:38] <cheyne> ty juk
[16:38] <cheyne> and awon'
[16:38] <cheyne> aeon
[16:38] <Rohanc> glebihan: ok now should i have to run dpkg -i ?
[16:38] <krisphillips> jrib: I tried removing the module for the usbhid to see if it fixes it, however, ubuntu 10.04 doesn't like that.  It doesn't reinitialize the usb devices when I reinsert the module
[16:38] <glebihan> Rohanc: ok then now "sudo apt-get --no-download install vlc"
[16:39] <glebihan> Rohanc: yes, that's what I meant by previous command
[16:39] <juk> am i getting any rank by people thanking me?
[16:39] <ksbalaji> copernic, sorry for delay I was reading the site. now, my boot straight goes to win7. I do not get any error. The MBR is a good win7 controlled. I also disabled lucid from tampering MBR. however, I think I redirected the GRUB boot record to be written in its partition itself.
[16:39] <jrib> juk: nope
[16:40] <Rohanc> glebihan: sorry, i'm lost now, my last command is "sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.bad" then ?
[16:40] <clarezoe> aeon-ltd, what do you mean? I can "add to panel", and which one should I add?
[16:40] <seismicmike> I have an external hard drive, and every time I unmount it, the folder where the mount point was gets left behind... in other words, if it mounts to /media/external, after I unmount the drive, that folder (/media/external) is still there... so next time when I mount it again, It adds an underscore after it and mounts it to /media/external_ ... so now I have a bunch of folders in /media for external, external_, external
[16:40] <seismicmike> __, etc and it can be confusing to figure out which one is the right one... anyone know why this happens and how to stop it?
[16:40] <jrib> seismicmike: how are you mounting and unmounting?
[16:40] <juk> jrib: you are nice guy then
[16:40] <aeon-ltd> clarezoe: any network manager or notification area like thing, you may have just removed it one day by accident or have forgotten about it
[16:40] <seismicmike> jrib: it's USB so I'm letting ubunut/gnome mount it automatically when I connect it.
[16:41] <glebihan> Rohanc: ok then run "sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status" again, sorry for the misunderstanding, I wasn't very clear
[16:41] <cheyne> has anyone in here gotten PS CS5 running in wine? I would like to stop duel booting but I need PS for work?
[16:41] <jrib> seismicmike: that's half my question :)
[16:41] <Copernic> ksbalaji, you need grub to boot from linux, so you have to alter the MBR or make a boot disk maybe
[16:41] <joeyeye> Hey guys any bash experts here ?
[16:41] <jrib> joeyeye: just ask your question, don't ask for experts.  But if you have some sort of scripting question, #bash is the place to ask
[16:41] <seismicmike> oh, right :) lol... when it mounts I have an icon on docky that I use primarily to access it... I right click on that and click "unmount"
[16:41] <krisphillips> joeyeye, what kind of bash expert?
[16:42] <greppy> joeyeye: just ask, depends on what part of bash you are asking about :)
[16:42] <krisphillips> joeyeye whats your problem
[16:42] <jrib> seismicmike: hmm.  Does it also offer "eject"?  Or is that the only option?
[16:42] <clarezoe> aeon-ltd, I have the Notification Area in the panel which I had  the nm-applet before. Now when I restart nm-applet, I can see the panel moves a bit but the icon is not shown
[16:42] <seidos> joeyeye, there are bash experts in #bash assuredly
[16:42] <Copernic> ksbalaji, anyways if you follow that last tutorial, which is streight to the point, you shouldnt have any problems
[16:42] <seismicmike> no... "unmount" is the only option on there.
[16:42] <xeross> For some reason every now and then my mouse stops working, I can move it but nothing responds to clicking
[16:42] <Rohanc> glebihan: it's ok, as long as u are trying to help.. nothing happened again
[16:42] <xeross> Using the keyboard still works fine
[16:42] <jrib> seismicmike: hmm, don't know
[16:42] <joeyeye> I want to so a substring compare with 2 vars, whose values may have spaces in them
[16:42] <glebihan> Rohanc:  and now "sudo dpkg -i --force-depends ~/Desktop/libattr1_2.4.44-1_amd64.deb"
[16:42] <seismicmike> I also don't seem to have an icon on the desktop, but I honestly don't remember if I supressed that or if perhaps docky is doing that or what.
[16:43] <jrib> seismicmike: what ubuntu version?
[16:43] <seismicmike> 10.04
[16:43] <zamba> what's the difference between linaer raid and raid-0?
[16:43] <zamba> linear*
[16:43] <seismicmike> I'm going to try unmounting it from within nautilus's places sidebar. that has as "Safely remove" option and see what that does
[16:43] <jrib> seismicmike: interesting.  See https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/101845 though
[16:44] <Rohanc> glebihan: did something - says - Unpacking replacement libattr1 ...Setting up libattr1 (1:2.4.44-1) ...Processing triggers for libc-bin ...ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[16:44] <aeon-ltd> clarezoe: did you change icon theme recently or something?
[16:44] <Rohanc> glebihan: resumed to new line now
[16:45] <Copernic> ksbalaji, dont be scared to let grub controle the MBR, you can always reverse it by booting from the win7 cd and get the console and type fixmbr
[16:45] <hmw> On my Jaunty the indicator applet is gone and I cannot "add to panel" it
[16:45] <glebihan> Rohanc: good ! try "sudo apt-get --no-download install vlc" now
[16:45] <jkrejci> is it possible to adjust the text sizes in evolution? i see a "zoom" option but that only seems to apply to the message preview... i want to shrink the size of the message list, folder list, etc
[16:45] <clarezoe> aeon-ltd, no I didn't, I just did a upgrade, but nothing about the panel or network manager
[16:45] <seismicmike> jrib: so it does seem to be an issue.... hmmmm
[16:45] <jrib> seismicmike: maybe as a workaround you can explicitly add the drive to fstab?
[16:46] <seismicmike> I'm considering that, though.....
[16:46] <socram> I'm trying to install ntop, and it says "checking for pcap_lookupdev in -lpcap... no // libpcap not installed". But dpkg shows "ii  libpcap0.8   1.0.0-6". Am i missing something?
[16:46] <hmw> the indicator applet keeps crashing, how can i find out, what's going on? I can't access the network manager anymore:/(
[16:46] <Rohanc> glebihan: did that, last line says - "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
[16:46] <coz_> socram,  are you compiling this?
[16:46] <seismicmike> I manually deleted the old _ mount points with gksudo nautilus and now it doesn't seem to be doing it again... odd
[16:47] <glebihan> socram: install libpcap-dev
[16:47] <seismicmike> I'm going to add it to fstab anyway
[16:47] <cmyk> why the heck does the installer (from a usb stick) not see the internal hd?
[16:47] <glebihan> Rohanc: nothing else ?
[16:47] <Copernic> ksbalaji, oh wait it has changed, to reverse a grub install do this: http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html
[16:47] <socram> coz_: yes
[16:48] <MrsB> Hello folks. I've just installed the 10.10 beta and it appears grub is failing. It wont load the grub menu. It just sits with the cursor flashing in the top left and I have to hard reset. All I can do is load the live cd and chroot to the drive in a terminal. Has anybody any clue how to fix this? Thankyou!
[16:48] <coz_> socram,   you know it is in the repository ...yes?? none the less you need the  -dev package as glebihan  mentioned
[16:48] <Rohanc> glebihan: please check this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/503340/
[16:48] <Copernic> ksbalaji, but now you can do this : http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/how-to-recover-grub2-linux.html :)
[16:48] <aeon-ltd> clarezoe: i've run out of ideas, unless you unistalled a lot of packages or if you replace nm-applet with something like wicd
[16:48] <aeon-ltd> !ubuntu+1 | MrsB
[16:48] <socram> coz_: right, thanks. 1.0.0 the latest in repo?
[16:49] <Copernic> !alsa
[16:49] <aeon-ltd> clarezoe: *replaced
[16:49] <MrsB> Ok thankyou
[16:49] <Rohanc> glebihan: first line in http://paste.ubuntu.com/503340/  is continuation from the command "sudo apt-get --no-download install vlc"
[16:49] <clarezoe> aeon-ltd, I don't have wicd. When I run nm-apple from the terminal, I see "nm-applet debug old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0"
[16:49] <clarezoe> aeon-ltd, thank you all the same!
[16:49] <glebihan> Rohanc: retry the same command, with the -f option
[16:49] <docsy> if you're running the 10.10 beta, when the final release comes out can you just upgrade? or does it require an actual new install
[16:50] <jrib> docsy: just upgrade but please use #ubuntu+1 for support with maverick
[16:50] <seismicmike> ok, when I add it to fstab it tells me that only root can mount it... there must be an option that restricts taht... the options I copied over from mtab when it was mounted are: rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions
[16:50] <glebihan> docsy: you can upgrade, and maverick support on #ubuntu+1
[16:50] <docsy> my apologies
[16:50] <docsy> thanks
[16:50] <Rohanc> glebihan: "sudo apt-get -f --no-download install vlc" ?
[16:51] <glebihan> Rohanc: yes
[16:51] <aeon-ltd> clarezoe: sorry i couldn't solve it
[16:51] <clarezoe> aeon-ltd, no problem!
[16:52] <Rohanc> glebihan: same error I guess, check this anyway - http://paste.ubuntu.com/503343/
[16:52] <mr_mead> greetings.  Bizarre install problem here (with partitioner).  Maybe a hardware problem?
[16:52] <isw> Hey I'm looking for a solution to streaming movies from a linux fileserver > Ubuntu 10.10 desktop - I been using VLC player for years but I have to copy over the file first. Any ubuntu applications out there  that can do this?
[16:53] <clarezoe> aeon-ltd, I removed network-manager and it said network-magener-gnome was broken and I reinstalled it. Now it shows in the panel now. Hurray!!
[16:53] <mr_mead> isw, check out twonkymedia server
[16:53] <joeyeye> isw, streaming to where ?
[16:53] <seismicmike> jrib: do you know which setting in fstab would make it so only root can mount the partition?
[16:53] <Dr_Willis> isw:  I think theres come confusion over your use of the term 'streaming'
[16:53] <Copernic> what audio device should I use for games since /dev/dsp is busy ?
[16:53] <jrib> seismicmike: see the "user" option in « man mount »
[16:53] <Dr_Willis> isw:  how is vlc accessing the video on the remote box?
[16:53] <MrsB> isw also check into sshfs to mount the device
[16:54] <isw> The video files are on the network on a fedora file server just a regular file server. The laptop I use to access the files is my ubuntu 10.10 laptop.
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> isw:  I think  you may be using the smb:// 'share' method.. that may not work as a 'stream' you can set up vlc to actually 'stream' video on the server. Or you can mount the remote box/files some other way and vlc shouldent have to download the whole video first to play it.
[16:55] <llutz> seismicmike: by default only root can mount things, there are options in /etc/fstab to override that, to allow users to mount (user, users)
[16:55] <llutz> seismicmike: for more info, read "man mount"
[16:55] <jkrejci> anyone familiar with changing the evolution display size.... the zoom only seems to work for the message preview frame
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> isw:  you could mount the samba share to a actual directory, instead of using the smb:// type address. and vlc should also be able to play it without downloading the whole thing first
[16:55] <glebihan> Rohanc: run "sudo dpkg --purge libxcb-randr0"
[16:56] <isw> Nice ok I'll try that. It sounds most convenient.
[16:56] <seismicmike> group
[16:56] <joeyeye> isw, you can check out coherence. It's python based and will stream to any DLNA appliance
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> isw:  yea. the term 'shareing' and 'streaming' are not quite the same thing. :)
[16:56] <Noldorin> how do i create a new env var from the terminal?
[16:57] <Noldorin> by default it creates a shell variable
[16:57] <Rohanc> glebihan: ok did that, it says - (Reading database ... 156371 files and directories currently installed.) Removing libxcb-randr0 ...
[16:57] <isw> ahh I see
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  just set it..  VARIABLENAME=100
[16:57] <seismicmike> or owner....
[16:57] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, that just creates a shell variable unfortunately, not an env variable
[16:57] <Rohanc> glebihan: now resumed to new line
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> isw:  you can set up vlc to actually 'stream' a video to  several pcs at once that are running  vlc on the lan..
[16:57] <glebihan> Rohanc: ok then try "sudo apt-get --no-download install vlc" again
[16:57] <dajhorn> Noldorin: To make an environment variable permanent, put the export FOO=bar in something like your .bashrc or .profile file.
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  Hmm..  thats the same thing.. Unless im really confused..
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  or you are. :)
[16:58] <isw> Dr_Willis: Do I do that on the sever end?
[16:58] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, similar, but shell vars don't get bassed to child processes
[16:58] <Noldorin> hah, one of us for sure
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  thats what 'export' does....
[16:58] <Noldorin> dajhorn, yeah, i really want it on a per-terminal basis thogh
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  export FOOO=100  goes to the childen.
[16:58] <glebihan> Rohanc: forgot the -f option
[16:58] <Rohanc> glebihan: didn't work it says me to try with -f, shall I?
[16:58] <glebihan> Rohanc: yes^^
[16:59] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, ah yes, that's just what i want. thank you
[16:59] <Dr_Willis> isw:  the server can be set to stream a given set of files.. to one of more clients.. thats a real 'stream' not a 'share'
[17:00] <sacarlson> Noldorin: maybe you just what the term to open and always have the value?  maybe need to modify ~.bash
[17:00] <Rohanc> glebihan: didn't work , check this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/503354/
[17:01] <seismicmike> megh... I'll have to figure this out later... I have work to do... J
[17:01] <Noldorin> sacarlson, yeah, dajhorn suggested that. do i modify .profiel or .bashrc out of curiosity?
[17:01] <glebihan> Rohanc: yes, run "sudo apt-get install libxcb-randr0" first
[17:01] <glaucous> What's a good program to check smart errors on Ubuntu?
[17:02] <sacarlson> Noldorin: I think the default for ubuntu is ~.bashrc
[17:02] <Noldorin> sacarlson, ok, makes sense. cheers
[17:02] <Noldorin> sacarlson, bashrc is only one file for the user right, not per-directory?
[17:03] <Rohanc> glebihan: no change, check this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/503358/
[17:03] <isw> Dr_Willis: I think I'm going to try to learn how to do a real mount with: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount  thanks for the help
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> isw:  its not too hard. :)  theres some gui front ends in the repos that can help automate it also.. but its best to learn whats going on in the background
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> isw:  spaces in share names - can be a BIG annoyance :) i will let you know that now
[17:04] <Noldorin> does 'man' have a find-text utility?
[17:04] <Noldorin> regex or otherwise
[17:04] <Noldorin> i know info does
[17:04] <dajhorn> Noldorin: Push the '/' key.  It is regex.
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  man is using 'less' or more as its pager.. so the / key does searches
[17:04] <Noldorin> right, thanks
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> man just formats the text. :)
[17:05] <Noldorin> i guess as a related question, should i be looking for docs using man or info first?
[17:05] <Noldorin> it seems there's a lot of overlap between the two systems
[17:05] <sacarlson> Noldorin: I think there is a file in /etc that will be used if you create a new user
[17:05] <Copernic> what audio device should I use for games since /dev/dsp is busy/not working ?
[17:05] <dajhorn> Noldorin: Man pages are almost always better than info pages.  If you really need to use info,  use the 'pinfo' package instead of the GNU reader.
[17:06] <glebihan> Rohanc: run "dpkg --purge vlc-nox"
[17:06] <Noldorin> dajhorn, will keep that in mind, cheers.
[17:06] <st__> most packages has stub man pages sadly
[17:06] <pozic> dajhorn: uhm, no.
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:   i rarely ever use info. Its a nicer system in ways.. but not as well supported it seems
[17:06] <pozic> dajhorn: info pages are better than manpages.
[17:06] <pozic> dajhorn: that is, they contain more information if they exist.
[17:06] <delinquentme> default file system TYPE for 10.04 is.....? ext 4?
[17:06] <Noldorin> yeah, the interface seems a bit fancier
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  IF the info pages exist.. many are just the man pages...
[17:06] <Noobyet> hello guys... i'm using psyco to run a python program, but i would like to know how can i save the psyco bytecode into an executable file. Thanks
[17:06] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, info defaults to man pages if info pages can't be found?
[17:06] <Rohanc> glebihan: (Reading database ... 156371 files and directories currently installed.) Removing vlc-nox ...Processing triggers for man-db ... .. ok next?
[17:07] <nimrod10> how can I extract a deb package ?
[17:07] <pozic> Noobyet: Start emacs do C-hi RET and observe how info is supposed to be used.
[17:07] <jrib> nimrod10: why, what exactly do you want to accomplish?
[17:07] <pozic> Noldorin: Start emacs do C-hi RET and observe how info is  supposed to be used.
[17:07] <pozic> Noobyet: not meant for you.
[17:07] <llutz> nimrod10: ar vx mypackage.deb  and then tar -xzvf data.tar.gz
[17:07] <dogus> hi
[17:08] <glaucous> I just installed a SSD, this is my result with smartmontools. Should I be worried? http://codepad.org/7jt1Rfo9
[17:08] <glebihan> Rohanc: sudo apt-get -f install vlc-nox
[17:09] <dogus> does anybody use here eee pc asus 1015 ?
[17:09] <Rohanc> glebihan: says like this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/503368/
[17:09] <nimrod10> thanks llutz
[17:09] <sacarlson> dogus: I got the older 901
[17:10] <dogus> sacarlson: which is the boot key on startup ?
[17:10] <dogus> sacarlson: i wwant too boot my usb for ubuntu istall ..
[17:10] <sacarlson> dogus: I foget.  didn't it tell at boot time?
[17:10] <Rohanc> glebihan: sorry to leave you in middle of this.. but I really have to go now.. i'll come again after 1 hour
[17:10] <sacarlson> dogus: maybe f2
[17:11] <Rohanc> glebihan: do u have any recommondations for me to do? uninstall and reinstall?
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  never noticed.. I dont think so.. i think the writers are just cut/pasteing man pages to the info stuff.. ive also see man pages that are just cut/paste of the 'command --help' output..
[17:11] <dogus> sacarlson:  ok thank you i will try
[17:11] <glebihan> Rohanc: unfortunately, I probably won't be there, but you should purge all the mentioned packages, and restart the install process from the beginning
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> dogus:  it totally depends on the pc.
[17:11] <Noobyet> I just want to "dump" the psyco bytecode into a file
[17:11] <glebihan> Rohanc: I think we've solved most of the problems already
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> dogus:  My pc's often have a FKey i hit to show a boot device menu.. or set the device in the bios
[17:12] <Tejas> ok guys im still kinda new to ubuntu and I have tried following the tutorials that ive found on using compiz to set seperate backgrounds for each workspace but it just uses the first image over and over, and tips?
[17:12] <Rohanc> glebihan: how to purge?
[17:12] <glebihan> Rohanc: purge meaning run "dpkg --purge packagename" as we've done 2 times already
[17:12] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, hah. i'm starting to learn linux documentation isn't all it's cracked up to me
[17:13] <duolos> Good day, everyone!  Quick question: I have a DVD (movie) that I am trying to convert to watch on my phone.  However, the DVD must be damaged because I get read errors (or it hangs while reading).  I don't see any physical damage to the disc.  Is there any other way to copy the DVD to my system?
[17:13] <Noldorin> more centralised, for sure though
[17:13] <Noldorin> not fully though
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  man pages are not really a 'linux' thing they have been around since  UNIX days..
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  same for INFo pages i belive.
[17:13] <Rohanc> glebihan: sure, I'll make note of it and resume when I come back.. u have been v. helpful .. thanks again Glebihan, have a nice day or good night according to ur place ;)
[17:13] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, sure, but it's the same difference when comparing with windows ;)
[17:13] <Noldorin> which is what i was doing internally
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  windows has gone from using CHM to  somthing else it seems.. i couldent even read some old windows help files on my win7 machine the other day
[17:14] <glebihan> Rohanc: you're welcome, nice day or night to you too :)
[17:14] <dogus> Dr_Willis ok thanks !
[17:14] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, yeah, it uses Microsoft Help Viewer these days
[17:14] <sacarlson> duolos: I seen a guy at a carnaval sell some stuf to clean or polish dvd's not sure what it was maybe like tooth paist?
[17:14] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, i know, because i've distributed Sandcastle docs. i usually output CHM, ms help viewer, and web
[17:14] <delinquentme> for me to combine open space on my disk into my current OPERATINg ubuntu partition .. i cant be in the ubuntu operating system right??
[17:14] <Noldorin> you need a compatibility pack for CHM these days
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  and actually 'man' pages are formated using  the old 'troff' typessetting' system with the man 'macros' I belive.. :) thats getting into OLD unix history there..
[17:15] <duolos> sacarlson, I've heard that whitening toothpaste might fix scratches, but like I said, I don't actually SEE any damage on the disc itself.
[17:15] <Noobyet> also, how can i use the freeze utility on ubuntu? I can't find any "freeze.py" on my system
[17:15] <Noldorin> heh
[17:15] <Tejas> duolos: common dish soap works well too
[17:15] <sacarlson> duolos: well maybe the dvd player is bad?
[17:15] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, does man have a find-next feature?
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  look up troff/nroff/groff some day. :)
[17:16] <duolos> Tejas, That's what I usually use.  No dice here.
[17:16] <Noldorin> will do. rings a bell, way down there, but i can't say i know what they do
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  MAN is just setting the text.. its not  showing the text.. the feature you asked for is part of the pager.. 'more' or 'less'
[17:16] <duolos> sacarlson, I doubt it.  It's my DVD burner but I've also had skipping issues with this movie in my home DVD player.
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  and yes / and 'enter' should find the next hit.
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> man more :)
[17:16] <Noldorin> right
[17:16] <Noldorin> cheers
[17:16] <duolos> sacarlson, just wondering if there is some other way to pull all the video off it (even if some chapters are missing)?
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> or is less the default.. i forget
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> Im so old i rember when 'less' was a cutting edge/new thing.
[17:17] <sacarlson> duolos: ya maybe just set the retry count to higher number before it fails
[17:17] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, heh. it's pretty much superceded more these days, no?
[17:17] <sacarlson> duolos: and I have no idea how to do that
[17:18] <itmustbejj> Is there a happy medium between pidgin and empathy?
[17:18] <sacarlson> duolos: ya or if it could just skip bad sectors that would be cool
[17:19] <Dice-Man> itmustbejj, kopete ?
[17:19] <itmustbejj> I'm tired of pidgin's flakey facebook plugin and I hate that empathy has no blinking notifications
[17:19] <itmustbejj> Dice-Man hmm will check it out
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[17:19] <AbhiJit> hi
[17:19] <itmustbejj> will kopete run in gnome ok?
[17:19] <halvors> Is the "Not using ubuntu font by default" bug fixed in maverick?
[17:19] <AbhiJit> itmustbejj, yes
[17:20] <Dice-Man> yes it will run in gnome
[17:20] <duolos> sacarlson, yeah, I can't figure it out.  Even trying to copy the audio and video folders from the disc isn't working.
[17:20] <itmustbejj> Dice-Man is there any good way to just improve the notifications in empathy?
[17:21] <erfolg> pidgin > empathy
[17:21] <pipegeek> srsly
[17:21] <pipegeek> hopefully only for now
[17:22] <JackNocturne> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/ubuntu-10-10-release-candidate-available-for-download/
[17:22] <itmustbejj> I've always used pidgin in the past but I got tired of it always disconnecting from facebook
[17:22] <pipegeek> JackNocturne: nifty
[17:22] <Dice-Man> itmustbejj, i don't know, i just deleted it when i installed ubuntu
[17:22] <JackNocturne> is it advisable to download now?
[17:22] <Dice-Man> i don't like empathy
[17:22] <pipegeek> itmustbejj: facebook has direct XMPP support now; you no longer need the facebook plugin for pidgin
[17:22] <itmustbejj> pipegeek oh...well back to pidgin then :)
[17:23] <pipegeek> I'd love empathy if there weren't important functionality missing.  I like and want voice/video, but it seems like basic stuff like the ability to block people and MUC that isn't broken are more important
[17:23] <pipegeek> I look forward to when empathy surpasses pidgin.  It's gotta happen eventually; pidgin has been stagnant for years
[17:24] <kichigai> Is empathy based on libpurple?
[17:24] <pipegeek> no
[17:24] <pipegeek> it's based on telepathy
[17:24] <Seveas> though there is a libpurple pipe for telepathy :)
[17:24] <pipegeek> haha, nifty
[17:25] <Seveas> !info telepathy-haze
[17:25] <pipegeek> neato
[17:25] <kichigai> Hmm, because I've been using Adium on my Mac for a while, and it's based on libpurple.
[17:25] <kichigai> I haven't used Pidgin in ages, but I know that Adium isn't stagnant.
[17:26] <draeath> I think i found a bug in the 2.6.32-25-generic kernel. anyone else using a netbook?
[17:26] <halvors> Is the not showing "Ubuntu font by default" bug fixed?
[17:26] <draeath> after updating from -24 to -25, my wireless drops and reconnects at a regular interval (it's down more than up). booting back into -24 confirms it's specific to -25
[17:27] <erfolg> draeath: report a kernel bug and use the -24 one
[17:27] <JackNocturne> draeath: i have the same problem, i didnt realize it could be a bug
[17:27] <draeath> cool I'm writing up a bug
[17:27] <sacarlson> dreamnid: trouble with moving from one kernel to the next is I forget I had some patches or modules added when I installed them
[17:28] <Jammet> Hi, I'm trying to enable SCIM for Japanese input (on a US keyboard), and I have the problem that Japanese doesn't show up in SCIM's list. I get all kinds of languages, Arabic, Russian, you name it, but nothing asian besides Thai. Help?
[17:28] <sacarlson> dreamnid: like my nvidia driver modules
[17:28] <trism> Jammet: do you have anthy installed?
[17:29] <Seveas> Jammet, did you install scim-tables-ja?
[17:29] <Jammet> trism, Seveas: checking, hold on.
[17:30] <Seveas> Jammet, also, scim is not the recommended input switcher anymore, ibus seems to be the new hotness. You can install it by installing the language-support-input-ja metapackage
[17:30] <trism> Jammet: although, recently ubuntu has switched to ibus by default, might be easier to configure (just need to install the japanese input methods in System/Administration/Language Support and set the input method to ibus, then you can configure it in System/Preferences/Ibus Preferences)
[17:31] <Jammet> Seveas: Do I have to uninstall all SCIM related software before? (No, the software you asked for is not installed, maybe that was the problem.)
[17:31] <tommy> ciao
[17:31] <Jammet> trism: I'll try ibus then, as you and Seveas suggest.
[17:31] <Seveas> Jammet, no idea, I'm a boring westerner who never had to actually use this
[17:31] <gh0st> hi
[17:32] <Gadgetwizard> Hello all
[17:32] <Gadgetwizard> i have a question
[17:32] <gh0st> what's going on ?
[17:32] <Jammet> Seveas, Trism: Thank you both, I'll read up on ibus and japanese language input support, and use that, then. ;)
[17:32] <Gadgetwizard> how do you get wine to work on a ppc running ubuntu 10.04
[17:32] <gh0st> u don't have to
[17:33] <gh0st> only what u need is exe file to launch it
[17:33] <Seveas> Gadgetwizard, wine is x86 only
[17:34] <Okitain> Guys, how to ignore people by nick in XChat?
[17:34] <plitter> is there a way of booting without starting the gui?
[17:34] <allu2> Hello, i am trying to install apache2 on my ubuntu 10.04 but i get errors on installing it http://pastebin.com/DrXbJcD9 (i used to have working apache installation but one day it stoped to work saying error on line 203 and that it's unable to find mods-enabled dir, i purged it, i did rm -rf /etc/apache2 when the problem stayed after installation and now i get tease errors )
[17:34] <allu2> but food time -->
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> Okitain:  at one time (ages ago) there was a Ignore item in the xchat menus by default when you right clicked on a nick. but it seems over the releases.. they kept removing things from xchat.. (at least they removed the default settings that had the alias/features)   One of the reasons i dumpped xchat.  Try right clickiong on a nick and see if theres a menu item there now.
[17:36] <quas> Hey all.  Working with Ubuntu 8.04 and a Dell MD3000i iSCSI array.  Set up access, and 1 disk for the ubuntu, which it sees, and I can access.  Now, I have added another disk, and that one is not showing up in ubuntu.  How do I make it show up?
[17:36] <sacarlson> plitter: yes I think just uninstall gdm?
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> quas:  by adding another disk.. You mean you added another to the 'array' ? or what exactly?
[17:37] <eagles0513875> Dr_Willis: mind if i pm ya
[17:37] <gh0st> can somebody tell me where i can find tutorial how to control MySQL database suing only PHP ?
[17:37] <sacarlson> plitter:  or at least take it out of /etc/init.d
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> eagles0513875:  what for. :) Im about to get ready for bed..
[17:37] <plitter> sacarlson: dont want to remove it just want to know how to be able to boot to terminal instead of gnome
[17:37] <eagles0513875> ahh quick question
[17:38] <zego> gh0st: w3schools has a lot of tutorials on SQL in general, not sure about php
[17:38] <sacarlson> plitter:  you can boot single user
[17:38] <eagles0513875> Dr_Willis: before u go my friend has an ati which is stuck in an infinite loop
[17:38] <zego> gh0st: http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_mysql_intro.asp
[17:38] <plitter> sacarlson: boot single user?
[17:38] <gh0st> zego: chairs mate
[17:39] <will> Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help but I run a 10.04 server that has recently started sending me psad warning e-mails every minute.  It seems to be complaining about TCP port 113 and UDP port 123, from localhost to localhost.
[17:39] <sacarlson> plitter: I think this tells you http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/]
[17:39] <dolf> hey everyone. I have a laptop with an intel Core i3 processor and an integrated intel graphics card. It uses the intel i915 driver for the graphics. The laptop screen works fine, but any external monitor I connect (through dsub) showa a wavey image
[17:40] <coolsan> i have a big problem with window manager
[17:40] <zego> will: have you gone through your iptables and checked to see if you are blocking any localhost ports?
[17:40] <dolf> somehow it seems all pixels move from left to right, causing the screen to be only remotely readable at 800x600px. Even then it is horrible, but the higher the resolution, the worse it gets
[17:40] <gh0st> dolf: did u check your monitor on different pc ?
[17:40] <dolf> and it is not the screen. I tried two different very new screens
[17:41] <plitter> sacarlson: i think that might actually work:) thanks
[17:41] <dolf> gh0st, under windows on the same laptop the screens work fine
[17:41] <dolf> so it is not a hardware problem
[17:41] <coolsan> compiz,(close,minimize,max buttons )not working
[17:41] <coolsan> buttons not visible
[17:42] <coolsan> anyone???????
[17:42] <sacarlson> dolf: maybe the screen update rate
[17:43] <aeon-ltd> coolsan: not visible? alt-f2 compiz --replace
[17:43] <dolf> sacarlson, both monitors have the same problem and I am using the right refresh rates (at least according to the screen resolution tools and the screen specs)
[17:43] <coz_> coolsan,   are you running gnome or kde
[17:43] <sacarlson> dolf: if there are higher update rates try them
[17:44] <a5h15h> while using ncurses.h....i'm getting undefined reference to stdscr,wgetch....how to fix this for an ide
[17:44] <coz_> coolsan, and are the buttons visible or are they missing?
[17:44] <coolsan> buttons not visible
[17:44] <coolsan> close,,minimize,max \buttons not visible
[17:44] <sacarlson> dolf: system>preferences>monitor>
[17:44] <coz_> coolsan,  ok hit  alt+F2  type in    gtk-window-decorator --replace
[17:44] <a5h15h> i know the fix if compiled using terminal
[17:45] <mr_mead> gentlefolk, can someone help me think through a install problem?
[17:45] <dolf> sacarlson, I did
[17:45] <mr_mead> problems with harddrives.
[17:45] <coolsan> coz_: gnome
[17:45] <coz_> coolsan,   did you run that command?
[17:45] <dolf> I set it at both 60Hz and 75Hz. No change
[17:45] <sacarlson> dolf: well are there propraitary drivers for intel?
[17:45] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[17:46] <allu2> i have returned
[17:46] <dolf> sacarlson, not that I know of
[17:46] <plitter> sacarlson: the reason i wanted to do this was so that i could install the new driver for nvidia. But the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual doesnt really tell me how to. They start to talk about the xorg.conf file and we dont have that one in ubuntu 10.04, so i wanted to install it from the script i download from nvidia. Lets say that it doesnt work is there a way that i can undo that install?
[17:46] <coolsan> coz_: i type as you said but nothing happened
[17:46] <dolf> sacarlson, the hardware drivers app doesn't show any
[17:47] <dolf> and I have installed all intel stuff in aptitude (with universe and multiverse enabled)
[17:47] <coz_> coolsan,  mm ok  in terminal   copy and paste this command      ps ax | grep compiz
[17:47] <mr_mead> k.  Why would a hard drive (healthy and happy in pampliset and configurable in gparted) not show up as a potential hard drive during install?
[17:47] <coolsan> ok
[17:47] <sacarlson> plitter: xorg.conf is used if you install propraitary drivers
[17:47] <plitter> sacarlson: ohh....
[17:47] <coz_> coolsan,  you can pastebin.com  the readout
[17:47] <Noldorin> where does make install copy the built binaries to?
[17:48] <plitter> sacarlson: dammit...
[17:48] <sacarlson> plitter: but you do have to create the config after you install the drivers it seems
[17:48] <coz_> coolsan,  also you might want to meet me in  the  #compiz channel for this
[17:49] <sacarlson> plitter: there was a script that did it for you
[17:49] <coolsan> coz_: i run command but there are error garbage
[17:49] <deeztek> Hello
[17:49] <coz_> coolsan,  ok go to pastebin.com and paste the readout there...then  hit the submit button and paste the link it gives you here
[17:49] <coolsan> coz_: before 1 hour everything was ok
[17:49] <mr_mead> anyone able to weigh in on my install problem?
[17:49] <coz_> coolsan,  were there system updates?
[17:50] <plitter> sacarlson: but i dont want a major hassle of making it.... or the risk of ruining the system...
[17:50] <coz_> coolsan,  also did you install anything right before this began?
[17:50] <wh_> Apologies for duplicate post: My IRC client crashed.  I've recently started being e-mailed psad warnings mentioning TCP port 113 and UDP port 123 (time sync, I think).  Someone suggested checking some logs but I didn't get to read any more before my client crashed.
[17:50] <sacarlson> plitter: the script did it all if it meses up just delete the file
[17:50] <coolsan> coz_: yes
[17:50] <coz_> coolsan,  what did you install?
[17:51] <ksbalaji> Copernic: thanks for all the effort to help me. I am getting the installation fixed soon. and bye for now.
[17:51] <sacarlson> plitter: in the last release I had to try 3 different propriatary nvidia drivers
[17:51] <coolsan> no i not install
[17:51] <coolsan> but thre are updates
[17:51] <deeztek> Having some real weird issues with a Ubutnu 10.04 server shutting down (turning off) with no explanation why it's happenning. The only thing I have is the logs simply stop and then they start when the system gets powered on. I thought maybe it's the automatic updates.
[17:51] <plitter> sacarlson: u mean a script for making an xorg.conf or the script that installs the new drivers for nvidia?
[17:51] <zego> wh: that was me, I was just wondering if you were blocking any localhost to localhost connections in iptables
[17:51] <coz_> coolsan,  ok
[17:51] <plitter> sacarlson: ohh
[17:51] <sacarlson> plitter: yes
[17:52] <coolsan> coz_: when i install update thre is a error 'host name not factched
[17:52] <zego> wh_:  I thinkg tcp 113 is normally auth?
[17:52] <Krystyano> ki per storia cyber su cugina o collega, solo esperti
[17:52] <coz_> coolsan,   where you type a message here   type    /join #compiz    meet me there
[17:52] <wh_> zego: Thanks.  I don't think so, but I'll double check the firewall rules now.
[17:52] <aeon-ltd> zego: you mean those on the same network like 192.168.x.x?
[17:52] <aeon-ltd> zego: never mind
[17:52] <zego> aeon-ltd,wh_: no, specifically 127.0.0.1
[17:52] <zego> mr_mead, what's the problem?
[17:52] <plitter> sacarlson: so i boot into tty and then i run the script and it will automatically make an xorg.conf file which i can remove if it doesnt work?
[17:53] <Copernic> ksbalaji, np, pay it forward ;-)
[17:53] <mr_mead> zego:hard drive (healthy and happy in pampliset and configurable in gparted) isn't showing up as a potential hard drive during install.
[17:53] <deeztek> Sorry newbie here. Do I just type my issue here?
[17:53] <zego> deeztek
[17:53] <coz_> deeztek,  yes :)
[17:53] <zego> deezyek, yes
[17:53] <EvilPhoenix> !ask > deeztek
[17:53] <sacarlson> plitter: yes http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/alt-nvidia-96-xconfig.1.html
[17:54] <coz_> coolsan,   can you meet me in the #compiz   channel  ?
[17:54] <mr_mead> zego:I've set up the partitions the way I like.  SMART diagnostics check out fine.
[17:54] <sacarlson> plitter: it creates the file you still have to move it into /etc someplace
[17:54] <jsebean> hi
[17:54] <jsebean> i need help with sound
[17:54] <jsebean> my microphone doesnt work
[17:54] <coolsan> coz_: i m goin in #compiz
[17:55] <zego> mr_mead:  hmm.  only thing I can think to check right now is that it shows up in your bios
[17:55] <jsebean> anybody?
[17:55] <mr_mead> it's in bios too. I've moved it around the SATA ports.
[17:55] <sacarlson> plitter: yes if you remove or move the file it will use the none propriatary again
[17:55] <deeztek> using icechat. Where do I see the private message?
[17:55] <silasdavis> how can I get apt-get to reinstall a package overwriting any local configuration
[17:56] <plitter> sacarlson: ooh thanks:D
[17:56] <zego> mr_mead:  you're installing a server so no livecd.  dunno, I've never seen that before
[17:56] <plitter> sacarlson: will try
[17:56] <jsebean> my microphone doesnt work
[17:56] <wh_> zego: lfw is setup to accept expected packets and log anything else.  I'm configuring using webmin.  I suppose this begs the question, why am I receiving packets on ports 113 and 123.  I think 123's NTP, isn't it?  The server is supposed to sync its clock with... I forget, but could look it up.
[17:56] <mr_mead> zego: changed cables (power and SATA).  I'm thinking about taking the computer to local repairs to test the power source.
[17:56] <jhattara> does someone have experience with installing a virtual ubuntu on a windows 7 computer ?
[17:57] <gh0st> jsebean: give me more details
[17:57] <aeon-ltd> silasdavis: not sure of a reinstall way, but you cuold purge the pkg then clean out your /home and install
[17:57] <mr_mead> zego:  I'm installing desktop-10.4-amd64
[17:57] <zego> mr_mead, don't know why I thought server, have you booted into the livecd or just into the install?
[17:57] <zego> wh_: even so, you mentioned it was localhost to localhost so why is your machine trying ntp with itself
[17:58] <sacarlson> wh_: don't you allow all out and if comes in on same port allow?
[17:58] <zego> jhattara: a bit
[17:58] <wildc4rd> is it just me, or does ubuntu update more than windows of late?
[17:58] <jsebean> gh0st: when i try to use a microphone and record in audacity it doesn't work. I've tried changing input settings but it does nothing. Volume is all the way up and everything
[17:58] <wh_> zego: Yes, quite - I don't think it should be NTP itself.  Where do I look now?
[17:58] <jsebean> i assume its a driver issue?
[17:58] <vernonjvs> Does anyone know why netbook-launcher sucks up to 25% of CPU resources when I connect an external monitor to my eeepc? Thanks.
[17:58] <mr_mead> zego: I've booted with a 10.10 USB and a 10.04 when that wasn't installing.  (I'm in 10.04 now)
[17:59] <sacarlson> wh_: I'm way low security and have been hacked before so if your computer is a bank don't listen to me
[17:59] <Newbee> hello there... i want to use the freeze.py program, but i can't find it on ubuntu
[17:59] <zego> mr_mead:  but are you booting into the installer or the live version?  (does 10.04 even have a "just install" option?)
[17:59] <Okitain> zego: yes, it does.
[17:59] <mr_mead> zego: i've done both.
[18:00] <zego> wh_: I would wait for the next psad and check the logs
[18:00] <crashev> I'm missing /lib/modules/2.6.32-25-generic/source <- what do I need to install in order to have it ?
[18:00] <zego> wh_:  really I haven't messed around with iptables beyond just my intial setup so I can't give a ton of advice there
[18:01] <wh_> zego: The psad warnings are coming in at about one per minute (and have been since this morning).  Is it the iptables logs I should be digging into?
[18:01] <allu2> Hello, could someone help me with my trouble on installing apache2?
[18:01] <gh0st> jsbean: did you try use microphone on different machine ?
[18:01] <allu2> on ubuntu 10.04
[18:01] <jrib>  /ask allu2
[18:01] <jrib> allu2: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[18:01] <jsebean> the mic is built into my laptop
[18:01] <zego> wh_: yeah, if logging is setup then there should be a few lines that line up with the warnings
[18:02] <jsebean> is it alright if i PM u ghost... i cant really keep up here
[18:02] <wh_> zego: Okay, thanks.  I'll have a look.
[18:02] <gh0st> jsebean: yep
[18:02] <allu2> jrib, sorry
[18:02] <jsebean> thanks
[18:02] <jhattara> zego, i have a company computer that needs to have windows 7 installed as the OS, but i have some work that would be infinitely faster and easier with a linux, was wondering if i could install ubuntu on a virtual machine on it
[18:02] <sacarlson> wh_: you can look at $sudo netstat -pant  and see what is listening
[18:02] <allu2> Hello, i am trying to install apache2 on my ubuntu 10.04 but i get errors on installing it http://pastebin.com/DrXbJcD9 (i used to have working apache installation but one day it stoped to work saying error on line 203 and that it's unable to find mods-enabled dir, i purged it, i did rm -rf /etc/apache2 when the problem stayed after installation and now i get tease errors )
[18:02] <zego> jhattara:  I've had a lot of luck with virtualbox
[18:02] <jhattara> zego, just don't know what should i use, preferrably for free and legally
[18:02] <allu2> jrib, better? :)
[18:02] <zego> jhattara:  free, legal, easy to setup
[18:03] <jhattara> zego, not legal and free for non-personal use
[18:03] <jrib> allu2: purge apache2.2-common
[18:03] <vernonjvs> Does anyone know why netbook-launcher sucks up to 25% of CPU resources when I connect an external monitor to my eeepc? Thanks.
[18:03] <zego> mr_mead:  not sure at this point, maybe while in the live version popup gparted or fdisk and see if you can find the drive at all.  Check if it's in /dev/...
[18:04] <zego> jhattara: when did that change?  http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[18:04] <sacarlson> wh_: if you don't want the apps to listen then shut them down.  if you need them make sure the ports are open
[18:04] <zed_devil> hi all - im absolutly new in linux and ubuntu and so my knollege is very poor > can someone tell me how i could setup a SMB mount ? cant find any description i would understand
[18:04] <jrib> !samba | zed_devil
[18:04] <zego> jhattara: oh, non-personal.  even the OSE?
[18:04] <mcf3782> I need some help with figuring out a boot issue with a 10.04.1 install I just did.   This is my first Ubuntu install, but I am not new to Linux.  I'm just giving up on Gentoo and switching distributions.
[18:04] <mint> ok so windoze blue screened and couldn't boot.  booted a live session and gparted shows no partitions on my HDD :(  Anyone know of a partition repair program?
[18:04] <mr_mead> zego:  I have already partitioned the drive with gparted
[18:05] <allu2> jrib, done already
[18:05] <jhattara> zego, OSE is GPL, so they can't bar that from commercial use for free
[18:05] <jrib> allu2: then install apache
[18:05] <wh_> sacarlson: Thanks.  I can't see anything running that I wasn't expecting.  I agree about shutting down unnecessary servers.  The question seems to be, why is it NTPing itself?
[18:05] <allu2> jrib, i purget apache, did rm -rf /etc/apache2 and then apt-get install apache2 and then i got the error
[18:05] <Newbee> any way to to this http://wiki.python.org/moin/Freeze on ubuntu?
[18:05] <mcf3782> I downloaded and installed from the 'alternate-amd64' imsage, because I wanted to install onto mdraid mirrored partitions.
[18:05] <jrib> allu2: this is not what I said to do
[18:06] <sacarlson> wh_: ntp is in my cron it updates my time
[18:06] <allu2> jrib, i said what i did before you said me to purge apache2
[18:06] <Braber01> um any channels on bot creation and other stuff?
[18:06] <jrib> allu2: no, that's not what I said.
[18:06] <mcf3782> It seemed to have gone well through the install; but when I remove the cd and reboot; grub gives me a "no such disk" error.
[18:06] <deeztek> I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.04. I have configured auto security updates. In the "sudo vi /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades" file the "Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false";" line is commented out with the "//". Does that mean that it will reboot the server if an update requires a reboot?
[18:06] <allu2> jrib, :S can you repeat i think i missed some line..
[18:06] <jrib> allu2: purge apache2.2-common
[18:06] <wh_> sacarlson: Yes, it should be running on my server, too, but it's supposed to retrieve the time from elsewhere.  Asking itself for the time would be a bit pointless.
[18:06] <sacarlson> wh_:  but that goes out first and my firewall if I had one would allow that
[18:07] <mcf3782> If i put the CD back in, boot and select 'boot from first hard drive' on the cd menu; the system boots just fine; and has all the md partitions mounted on the correct mount points.
[18:07] <wh_> sacarlson: It's from localhost to localhost - that's the odd bit.
[18:07] <Newbee> where the hell is "freeze.py
[18:07] <sacarlson> wh_:  well I guess there is a config that tells it where to get the time maybe you set it to yourself?
[18:07] <allu2> jrib, done, and now install?
[18:07] <jrib> allu2: if no errors, yes
[18:07] <zed_devil> @ubottu thx
[18:07] <jrib> Newbee: apparently it's part of jython?
[18:08] <wh_> sacarlson: # /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for ntpd; see ntp.conf(5) for help
[18:08] <wh_> driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
[18:08] <wh_> # Enable this if you want statistics to be logged.
[18:08] <wh_> statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/
[18:08] <wh_> statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats
[18:08] <wh_> filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
[18:08] <FloodBot4> wh_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:08]  * samiz is away: Away
[18:08] <Wippell> Whats up guys.
[18:08] <jrib> !away > samiz
[18:08] <mcf3782> Any ideas where I should start looking?
[18:08] <Newbee> nothing to do with jython jrib.
[18:09] <jrib> Newbee: well there's a freeze.py in jython.  Whether that's what you want or not, I have no clue.   "freeze.py" could be anything
[18:09] <allu2> jrib, ah works now thanks :) i suppose i purged a meta package and that caused the problems?
[18:09] <sacarlson> wh_: mine npt.conf is set to server ntp.ubuntu.com
[18:09] <jrib> allu2: right, the config files belong to that apache2.2-common package
[18:09] <wh_> sacarlson: my servers are [0..3].europe.pool.ntp.org and ntp.ubuntu.com
[18:09] <allu2> jrib, ok thank you again :)
[18:10] <zego> mr_mead: don't know what to tell ya, maybe the installer can't find it because you have it mounted?  even so...
[18:10] <mr_mead> zego: I know.  bizarre problem.
[18:10] <nogo> sacarlson: so, canonical knows when you open your pc?
[18:10] <somethinginteres> what timezone is it that ubuntu is released in?
[18:10] <Braber01> !bots
[18:10] <jrib> somethinginteres: there is no set time for release
[18:10] <sacarlson> nogo: ya they know where on the planet I am every hour
[18:11] <dolf> the refresh rate in the monitor tool, is that the vertical or horizontal refresh rate? I am going to try different refresh rates from the docs of my monitor by adding them with xrandr and cvt
[18:11] <somethinginteres> jrib: ok
[18:11] <mr_mead> zego: hard drive settings somehow?  partition table broken?
[18:12]  * nogo launches a missle toward sacarlson
[18:12] <sacarlson> nogo: I'm brain dead already
[18:12] <mr_mead> zego: blkid turns in good info on /dev/sda
[18:13] <wh_> zego, sacarlson: any idea where I find the iptables logs?
[18:13] <dolf> man it really makes no difference. The docs of my monitor say it should run at 1920x1080@60Hz, but when I do run it under those settings, the monitor is really waving/jittering
[18:13] <deeztek> I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.04. I have configured auto security updates. In the "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades" file the "Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false";" line is commented out with the "//". Does that mean that it will reboot the server if an update requires a reboot? In other words, do I have to uncomment it and set it to false for the server NOT to reboot? I hope I'm making sense.
[18:13] <sacarlson> wh_: I think in /var/log
[18:13] <mr_mead> zego: the drive was being used for swap.... maybe that was the problem.
[18:13] <dolf> it really looks like the intel driver is bad. \\
[18:14] <no--name> is it necessary to defrag?
[18:14] <no--name> (using ubuntu)
[18:14] <LjL> no--name: with normal drive usage, no
[18:14] <sacarlson> wh_: you mean your look at your tables?  $sudo iptables -L
[18:14] <yabruss> !factoid
[18:14] <LjL> no--name: and even if it were needed, there is no tool currently to do it
[18:14] <no--name> LjL: What you define as abnormal?
[18:15] <andre_pl> I've got my media center PC All set up using XBMC and running audio over HDMI. I have a USB Audio device that i'd like to add as a secondary sound card that I can use for notification sounds and such, but the last time I plugged this device in, linux got the sound cards all mixed up and used the USB one for all audio. anyone know how to properly tell linux to treat this card as secondary?
[18:15] <no--name> ok
[18:15] <zego> wh_: /var/log somewhere I would think?  You have to set it when you set logging
[18:15] <LjL> no--name: well, mainly filling up the drive a lot, like more than 85%
[18:15] <no--name> o
[18:15] <no--name> ok *
[18:15] <mr_mead> zego: nope. still not listed
[18:15] <sacarlson> wh_:  you need to setup iptables to create logs I I had in the past
[18:15] <wh_> sacarlson: no, the logs that psad's looking in.  can't see anything obvious in /var/log
[18:16] <sacarlson> wh_: psad?
[18:16] <zego> sacarlson: intrusion detection
[18:16] <coolsan> coz_:i m working on other laptop
[18:16] <coolsan> coz_:i submit that
[18:16] <wh_> does the fact that psad is working indicate that logging is enabled (somewhere)?  psad = port scan attack detector
[18:16] <coz_> coolsan,  understood but lets keep it in #compiz :)
[18:17] <hdgc> Can anyone help me with this bug: libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Device or resource busy this happens when I use cheese
[18:17] <sacarlson> zego: wh_: i just looked it up don't know s***
[18:17] <mr_mead> let it be known that I love gparted.
[18:18] <TEOKGaming> Indeed.
[18:18] <zego> hdgc: another useful linux error.  Your webcam or video device is being used by more than one piece of software maybe?  A v4l2 device can only be mounted once I think
[18:18] <zego> mr_mead:  figure it out or just that it has made life hell?
[18:18] <mcf3782> Anyone have any suggestions about the boot issue I described?
[18:19] <Newbee> how do i get the freeze tool for python working on ubuntu???
[18:19] <sacarlson> zego: wh_: it took me a week to find that someone was trying to break into my ssh account.  with hundreds if not thousands of tries.  so sounds like a good idea
[18:19] <rpk>  /join ##c++
[18:19] <sacarlson> but now I just change my ssh port
[18:19] <hdgc> zego:what I can do to fix it?
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> !info logwatch
[18:20] <mr_mead> zego:  I haven't figured it out yet. But setting up partitions is so simple with gparted.  What is the partition table type supposed to be? msdos?
[18:20] <zego> hdgc: what is giving you the error?
[18:20] <zego> mr_mead:  not sure, default always worked for me in the past
[18:20] <zego> scarlson,wh_: yeah....need to set that up on my webserver...
[18:21] <wh_> zego, sacarlson: ah, just found /var/log/psad/127.0.0.1
[18:21] <mr_mead> I like having a separate root  & /home  saves headaches for upgrades
[18:21] <sacarlson> wh_: wow I wasn't even far off
[18:22] <Kruptein> Hey! My ubuntu lucid just freezed out of nowhere and I restarted and got the message: init not found :o I can't boot into ubuntu anymore
[18:22] <zego> mr_mead: mmhmm....why isn't that the default anymore.  Technically you could just wipe the drive, install ubuntu, and setup the partitions after it's working
[18:22] <hdgc> the webcam does not work when I use cheese,
[18:22] <Kruptein> Help?!
[18:22] <wh_> sacarlson: it doesn't tell me anything that wasn't already in the warning e-mail, though.
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> hdgc:  does it work in other programs?
[18:23] <hdgc> not
[18:23] <sacarlson> wh_: so you did or didn't get scanned?  seems bots are looking at me all the time
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> hdgc:  has it ever worked? under any linux?
[18:23] <Newbee> too complicated. bye 4eva
[18:23] <wh_> sacarlson: I don't think I was being scanned because the the packets were coming *from* localhost
[18:23] <sacarlson> wh_: I think I must be wanted by the FBI or somethink?
[18:23] <Kruptein> can't nobody help me :O I really don't like this
[18:24] <Okitain> Yay for newbies!
[18:24] <area51pilot> ping
[18:24] <sacarlson> wh_: and it mails you for that?
[18:24] <hdgc> DR_Willis: yes, but after updating some libraries stopped working
[18:24] <Okitain> area51pilot: pong
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> Kruptein:  it could range from some hard drive faulure.. to memory failure. to otehr issues.. its hard to tell.
[18:24] <area51pilot> :P
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> hdgc:  see if vlc can access the web cam device perhaps.
[18:24] <Kruptein> Dr_Willis so there is nothing to solve it :f I really can't get why it happened :(
[18:24] <wh_> Kruptein: I don't have a solution, I'm afraid, but you may be able to retrieve some of your data by booting from a LiveCD or USB stick.
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> Kruptein:  hard drives can fail at ANY time.. ive had them die while i was using the pc befor.. but that may or may not be the issue.. Its hard to tell.
[18:25] <wh_> sacarlson: yes, because it fails the firewall rules - as it should.  NTP traffic shouldn't be going from localhost to localhost.
[18:25] <Kruptein> Dr_Willis it is a new laptop... :p
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> Kruptein:  boot a live cd, access the installed system. and  perhaps fsck the filesystems. (backup imporntant stuff first)
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> Kruptein:  new/old. dosent matter..  drives can die at any time.
[18:25] <maheanuu> Am I ever having probs this morning, I have 5 external drives that will not open or mount I find them with the disc mgr but they arent responding
[18:25] <dolf> anybody a clue where I can get more specialized support on intel integrated graphic cards for linux?
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> maheanuu:  what filesystem are the external drives?>
[18:26] <dolf> I really can't figure out why the external monitors don't work but I really don't know how to debug it either
[18:26] <deeztek> I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.04. I have configured auto security updates. In the "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades" file the "Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false";" line is commented out with the "//". Does that mean that it will reboot the server if an update requires a reboot? In other words, do I have to uncomment it and set it to false for the server NOT to reboot? I hope I'm making sense.
[18:26] <maheanuu> One is ntfs the others are fat
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> dolf:  for my intel laptop. the first time i plugged in a external monitor. I had to use the laptops fn keys to enable it. then the monitors tool saw it and let me tweak the config.
[18:27] <nogo> dolf: i think, mesa has the best supports for intel gma
[18:28] <dolf> Dr_Willis, the problem is harder. Several people tried to help to no avail. The screen waves and jitters but I am using the correct refresh rates, and I tried with two different monitors which work under windows on the same machione
[18:28] <maheanuu> My biggest prob (other than being a Noob, is that I am the only linux user within 150 miles and those are all sea miles
[18:28] <hdgc> DR_Willis: vlc is unable to open MRL «v4l2://» , and MRL «v4l://»
[18:28] <nogo> dolf: i think, because mesa (soft 3d) is back by intel
[18:28] <dolf> nogo, what is mesa?
[18:28] <nogo> ...
[18:28] <Noldorin> hrmm. just installed Emacs and now it's overridden gedit as the default text editor
[18:28] <Noldorin> how can i revert to gedit?
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> hdgc:  you are telling it the proper /dev/video0 device?
[18:28] <sacarlson> maheanuu: ya but we are all within a keystroke apart here now
[18:29] <dolf> nogo, it means table in spanish, but I won't get any further than that :)
[18:29] <nogo> dolf: a good saying doesn't be repeated twice
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  try the 'galternatives' tool to set the 'alternatives' settings for the default editor to be the one you want. or use the command line tools that do the same thing.
[18:30] <dolf> nogo? What? I really don't understand what you are saying, sorry
[18:30] <mcf3782>  I need some help with figuring out a boot issue with a 10.04.1 install I just did.   This is my first Ubuntu install, but I am not new to Linux.  I'm just giving up on Gentoo and switching distributions.
[18:30] <mcf3782>  I downloaded and installed from the 'alternate-amd64' imsage, because I wanted to install onto mdraid mirrored partitions.
[18:30] <hdgc> yes
[18:30] <mcf3782>  It seemed to have gone well through the install; but when I remove the cd and reboot; grub gives me a "no such disk" error.
[18:30] <mcf3782> If i put the CD back in, boot and select 'boot from first hard drive' on the cd menu; the system boots just fine; and has all the md partitions mounted on the correct mount points.
[18:30] <maheanuu> Yes but it is nicer when you have someone lookin over your shoulder while you learn.....
[18:31] <wh_> zego, sacarlson: tried dmesg | tail - I have one of these every couple seconds: IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=127.0.0.1 DST=127.0.0.1 LEN=240 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=39051 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=40364 DPT=123 LEN=220
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> mcf3782:  i wonder if /boot/ can be on a raid... (i dont use raids)
[18:31] <mcf3782> Everything I read prior to starting this install said yes
[18:31] <nogo> wh_: the port 123 is used by ntp
[18:31] <maheanuu> None of my drives open any longer........   Nothing that I can do will allow me to get into them or do any drops to them .....
[18:32] <wh_> nogo: yes, but why from localhost to localhost?  that's the mystery.
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> maheanuu:  tried mounting them by hand and the sudo mount command?
[18:32] <sacarlson> wh_: so DPT=123 is port?
[18:32] <maheanuu> I tried everything I can think of, but being a noob that ain't much
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> !mount | maheanuu
[18:32] <dolf> but as to my question, does anybody have a clue on where to find people that can help me pin down the problem with my intel graphics card? Any channel, mailinglist, bugtracker where I can go to debug this intel integrated (core i3) videocard?
[18:32] <wh_> sacarlson: DPT = destination port
[18:32] <zego> wh_:  try lsof | grep 123
[18:32] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, i have galternatives, not sure how it works
[18:32] <mcf3782> The old Gentoo install could boot off of mdraid devices; so I'd be very surprised if Ubuntu couldn't.
[18:32] <zego> wh_: as root
[18:33] <Dr_Willis> maheanuu:  'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdXX /media/MAKEADIRFORITTOGOTO
[18:33] <sacarlson> wh_:  so is anything listen on that port?
[18:33] <wh_> sacarlson: nothing listening
[18:33] <teliti> Hello. Wasn't there an app to shoot videos from your own cam?
[18:33] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  run it.. select editor.. select what you want the default for 'editor' to be.. rather steraight forward
[18:34] <sacarlson> wh_: so SPT=40364 must be source port
[18:34] <mcf3782> And indeed the system does boot just fine if I start from the CD. I just don't understand why grub would be broken, since the config is what the installer created after it finished.
[18:34] <IdleOne> teliti: cheese
[18:34] <wh_> zego: didn't know about lsof - thanks.  No lone '123's - just 123 burried in the middle of a larger number.
[18:34] <teliti> IdleOne: thank you, thats what I was searching for :-)
[18:34] <zego> wh_: pity, it's really used for checking for open TCP, UDP is another matter
[18:34] <mcf3782> if I cat /proc/mdstats, all the md devices look good.
[18:35] <wh_> zego: ah, I see - because UDP is stateless, presumably?
[18:35] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, ah yes. does this affect Nautilus btw?
[18:35] <st__> who has 40364 port?
[18:35] <zego> wh_:  not sure stateless so much as broadcast vs socket but yeah
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  the 'alternatives' system  affects the 'system defaults' that are called by  the  alternatives method. :)
[18:36] <terminal> hey everyone.  trying to install 10.04 on a machine that has two drives in a raid0 array.  getting the infamous "executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed" error.  of course, /dev/sda is not the drive.  anyone know of what the fix is for that?
[18:36] <dam_switch> I everybody I need your help !! i'd like to know how to install sound and webcam, on my kubuntu 10.04
[18:36] <sacarlson> wh_:  well you could try shutdown ntpd and see if it goes away
[18:36] <dam_switch> my pc is a macbook, and havent osx installed (have the cds)
[18:36] <st__> terminal, select a proper device?

[18:37] <wh_> sacarlson: sometimes it needs somebody to point out the obvious!  thanks, I'l try that.

[18:39] <nogo> there are a lot of rednecks and southerners only
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> hdgc:  not really.   hard to tell what broke the webcam. 'updates broke it' is a bit hard to debug.
[18:39] <glaucous> What do I have to do in order to set data=writeback to my ext4 root partition? Anything else then just adding the flag to fstab?
[18:40] <zego> wh_: what does your /etc/ntp.conf have in it?

[18:40] <guest_1234> Hi I have an issue with Ubuntu 10.04, the sound is muted at the system boo
[18:40] <guest_1234> I fixed it with a method I can't remember of some days ago, but it's back
[18:40] <zego> wh_: the program is ntpd, your time sync daemon.  It gets its server list from /etc/ntp.conf normally.
[18:41] <aeon-ltd> guest_1234: check alsamixer
[18:41] <zego> wh_:  if /etc/ntp.conf has localhost in it, just delete that
[18:41] <wh_> zego: a fair few lines, but the only server lines are [0..3].europe.pool.ntp.org and ntp.ubuntu.com
[18:41] <glaucous> Dr_Willis, okay, will try it

[18:45] <zego> wh_: restarting it change anything?
[18:45] <wh_> zego: no more messages in the last couple of minutes.  looks promising!  thank you for your help.
[18:46] <sacarlson> deeztek: I think it is commeted out to prevent boot on update
[18:46] <kwagga> Dr_Willis: I still dont know how this can happen so often, my fstab has been fine for months! - and one reboot in months... and now I get all these error...
[18:46] <zego> wh_: no worries, here's something that mentions it Clients with Internet connectivity can use the public pool.ntp.org time servers. Firewalls must allow User Datagram Protocol (UDP) 123 traffic to (and back from) the public time servers.
[18:46] <zego> wh_: http://sial.org/howto/cfengine/examples/ntpd/
[18:46] <plovs> deeztek it won't reboot
[18:46] <zego> wh_: not sure if that's actually helpful or not, but there ya go
[18:46] <kwagga> Dr_Willis:  Anything I can try to skip/fix the ureadahead error 4?
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> kwagga:  no idea. (ive not been paying much attention ) :)
[18:46] <glaucous> I need to run this echo deadline > /sys/block/sdX/queue/scheduler at rc.local. The problem is that sdX might change if I change drives. Is it possible to do this command by UUID?
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> kwagga:  Mine goes on past it. it could be somthing PAST that message thats the real problem.
[18:47] <plovs> deeztek but running services will continue to run with the old settings, unless you restart them
[18:47] <Borgoluzzuo> Does anyone know how to list what installations of ruby you have?
[18:47] <kwagga> Dr_Willis: Will check... the log... again... *sigh*

[18:48] <aeon-ltd> guest_1234: did it help?
[18:48] <cuddlefish_XO> hoober: doubtful
[18:49] <hoober> ah ok. then i wil request it on a forum
[18:49] <maheanuu> DrWillis, I rec'd the following with the sudo I just ran ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdXX': No such file or directory
[18:49] <wh_> zego: thanks.  we allow anything out (possibly a little naive, with hindsight) and incoming UDP 123
[18:50] <zego> wh_:  maybe naive but less headaches during setup at least
[18:50] <nogo> wh_: there is a trap here. the imcoming is unnecessary
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> maheanuu:  you use the actual device name.. not 'sdXX'  ie: sda1  sdb3
[18:50] <nogo> s/imcoming/incoming
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs | maheanuu
[18:51] <wh_> zego: a trap?  I don't follow.  (i use webmin to manage lfw and the UDP 123 rule is on the  incoming list)
[18:51] <zego> wh_: nogo said it, not me, ask them
[18:51] <kwagga> Can anyone point me in the direction of how do I diagnose a ureadahead error 4 while booting?
[18:51] <nogo> wh_: that's for a 90's packet filler only
[18:51] <mfonda> what's the best way to monitor outgoing http requests?
[18:51] <wh_> nogo: sorry, i don't understand
[18:52] <nogo> hehe
[18:52] <ChogyDan> kwagga: is it an error? or a status?
[18:52] <nogo> because modern firewalls are stateful
[18:52] <kwagga> ChogyDan: Status
[18:52] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, not working unfortunately... odd
[18:52] <Rotham> Where can I get a really cheap VPS with ubuntu...
[18:52] <nogo> statusful
[18:52] <sacarlson> wh_:  did it go away after /etc/init.d/ntpd stop  ?
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  i dont even recall your original problem... :)
[18:53] <oCean> glaucous: you could script something using the links in /dev/disk/by-uuid
[18:53] <ChogyDan> kwagga: it just means you have multiple partitions, some with no files pertaining to the boot sequence
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  assume people on irc - have the attention span of a Goldfish. :)
[18:53] <wh_> sacarlson: yes, but after a /etc/init.d/ntp restart.  looks like something went awry with the ntpd.
[18:53] <sacarlson> wh_:  oh
[18:54] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, oh i don't blame you, i forget the original problem when i'm working on my own problems sometimes heh!
[18:54] <nogo> a goldfih is annoying. you can see but you can't eat
[18:54] <kwagga> ChogyDan: My fstab has been fine for months, did a full-system update, and when I rebooted an hour ago, now I get the error.  I also tried 'disabling' the ureadahead config files, but that also doesnt work
[18:54] <zego> wh_: fun times.  Anyways, I'm out, good luck
[18:54] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, well when i open an executble file (sciprt) and click Display, it opens in emacs
[18:54] <Noldorin> i want gedit
[18:54] <kwagga> ChogyDan:  Best course of action?
[18:54] <sacarlson> wh_: that ntpd is sometimes needed in bind9 stuf that I played with.  not sure anything else I play with need acurate time
[18:54] <aeon-ltd> Noldorin: right click, properties, open with?
[18:55] <Noldorin> same with text files for certain extensions (But not all)
[18:55] <ChogyDan> kwagga: ignore it? since I don't think it is an error
[18:55] <Noldorin> aeon-ltd, yeah, i was hoping i could change the default though
[18:55] <Braber01> I tried downloading the softawre ubottu runs on to make my own bot along with bzr to get the plugins however I've tired to get the plugins and I keep getting an error :(
[18:55] <kwagga> ChogyDan: Well, the problem is, boot doesnt continue... it stops there... no other errors...
[18:55] <glaucous> oCean, pretty much what I'm doing right now.. $(blkid | grep $UUID  | awk '{ print substr($0, 6, 3) }'). That way I get the name etc
[18:55] <doomrobo> hey, guys
[18:56] <nooo> I have an issue ... How can I delete all files inside a folder if there's too many files in the folder?
[18:56] <kwagga> Hi doomrobo
[18:56] <doomrobo> grub is a pain in my butt
[18:56] <ChogyDan> kwagga: ah, it might be unrelated.  so you don't get to any sort of command line?
[18:56] <aeon-ltd> Noldorin: isn't there like a 'use this with similar file types' checkbox somewhere?
[18:56] <Braber01> glaucous: Where can I learn more aoubt awk?
[18:56] <wh_> sacarlson: not to worry.  we had a power outage yesterday morning (and the errors started shortly after that).  I wonder whether ntpd tried to do a DNS lookup of one of our servers before some link in the DNS chain was up "properly" and it incorrectly returned 127.0.0.1, causing ntpd to try to query localhost.
[18:56] <kwagga> ChogyDan: No command prompt.
[18:56] <sosyal_12> hi!
[18:56] <doomrobo> I updated to Maverick and now grub wont' load
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  try it with a new user.. if it affects all users. its a system setting. such as the 'alternatives'  if it just affects you.. then its a user setting
[18:56] <Noldorin> aeon-ltd, afraid not. only for files of the specific type
[18:56] <glaucous> Braber01, Google I guess, don't know much myself, just basics. :) (http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-scripting-using-awk/)
[18:56] <sacarlson> wh_:  you doing any mars exploration?  you might need it to change your ship positions at times
[18:56] <doomrobo> I have grub installed to a partition
[18:57] <kwagga> ChogyDan: Booted a terminal from disk, so anyone who can tell me where else to look for the problem, I will be forever grateful!
[18:57] <Braber01> glaucous: thank you :)
[18:57] <wh_> sacarlson: nope.  off now, too - done enough homework for one evening!  thanks for your input.
[18:57] <doomrobo> how do i reinstall grub to a partition
[18:57] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, right ho
[18:57] <ChogyDan> kwagga: I would go to the disk and check under var/log/kern.log or something       see if there is anything there
[18:57] <kwagga> ChogyDan: Going there now.
[18:57] <doomrobo> it just says Grub loading stage2
[18:58] <Serraphyn> Can someone ehlep me get SVN to work, /var/www# svn add /var/www/
[18:58] <Serraphyn> svn: '/var' is not a working copy
[18:58] <oCean> glaucous: I figured something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/503418/
[18:58] <sacarlson> Serraphyn: I have been using git almost the same as svn
[18:59] <wabash> I have an older flash drive. It seemed to take longer and longer to mount each time. Now it's just not mounting. Is it a udev/plugdev problem? Can I tell plugdev to force mount it, or manually trigger it?
[18:59] <sacarlson> Serraphyn: git has cool gui tools like gitg
[18:59] <Serraphyn> sacarlson, I just want something that I can use to update my /var/www on another internal server ath if I make a mistake I can rollback with
[19:00] <sacarlson> Serraphyn:  ya git does that
[19:00] <maheanuu> I am tripping the flood bot apparently when I do a paste in here
[19:00] <sacarlson> Serraphyn: I have used svn and also still have some files that use it almost the same
[19:00] <Braber01> !paste > maheanu
[19:00] <dajhorn> wabash: Flash drives wear out.  The hardware is probably bad.
[19:01] <Braber01> !paste > maheanuu
[19:01] <sacarlson> Serraphyn: but if it hasn't started yet I think I would use git
[19:01] <doomrobo> who here knows about grub?
[19:01] <wabash> dajhorn: Probably. so what I am asking is this: can I manually tell plugdev to mount it?
[19:01] <Serraphyn> sacarlson, okay I'll have to look into it then.
[19:01] <glaucous> oCean, hm, doesn't work. I changed the UUID to my drive
[19:01] <dajhorn> wabash: First, check /var/log/messages for obvious error messages.  Second, just `mount` it at a terminal prompt and copy your data off it.  No need to use plugdev.
[19:02] <Braber01> is there a way I can run a command from irssi?
[19:02] <wabash> dajhorn: Thanks. Well, the /dev device is not there. It's usually /dev/sdb1, and I think this device gets made by plugdev?
[19:02] <alket> hi I have problem formating my USB , im using gparted , it says that it is unallocated, I click "New" and it tells me to create a partition table, I click it but nothing happens
[19:03] <oCean> glaucous: oh yeah, wait
[19:03] <dajhorn> wabash: Yes, you'll need to know the /dev name.  Unplug the device,  run `tail -f /var/log/messages`, and plug it back it.  Watch the tail for error messages.  It should print a /dev/sdX name.
[19:03] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, yikes. just crashed the system switching users
[19:03] <sacarlson> Serraphyn: and to start git this is an easy way http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/7409
[19:03] <wabash> dajhorn: Thanks! Ok, trying it now.
[19:04] <sacarlson> Serraphyn: after it started I would use gitg to navigate and see changes over time
[19:04] <wabash> dajhorn: Does -f option scroll it as new stuff is added?
[19:04] <dajhorn> wabash: Yes.
[19:04] <glaucous> oCean, otherwise this is working: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503422/ . But I'd gladly see your working one :)
[19:05] <wabash> dajhorn: Ok, I'm reading it now. It recognizes it as a high speed USD device, ehci-hcd, and gives me an address. But no devs or anything.
[19:05] <plovs> Braber01 remote.pl?
[19:05] <dajhorn> wabash: Okay, the USB stick is probably dead.   One more thing to try is `sudo lsusb -v`.  Look for the USB device in this output.
[19:06] <kwagga> ChogyDan: Still no luck, anywhere, anyone else I can ask?
[19:06] <kwagga> This server cannot be down... or I'm gonna get my @ss kicked..
[19:06] <Braber01> plovs: What are you talking about I acdedenlty closed irssi and now I'm back in
[19:06] <aroman> Hey guys, I just wanted to share that Evolution's 2.34 build is slated to drop GTKHTML (that god-awful rendering engine that messes up HTML email like nobodies business, and adopt WebKit/GTK+... Meaning the evolution will become usable for rich HTML email! Yay! :)
[19:07] <plovs> Braber01 run a shell command in irssi?
[19:07] <kaolbrec> kwagga, that sounds ominous
[19:07] <deeztek> I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.04. I have configured auto security updates. In the "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades" file the "Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false";" line is commented out with the "//". Does that mean that it will reboot the server if an update requires a reboot? In other words, do I have to uncomment it and set it to false for the server NOT to reboot? I hope I'm making sense.
[19:07] <dajhorn> wabash: Did you customize your plugdev or gvfs configuration in any way?  -- Most people don't know or care about those things.
[19:07] <ChogyDan> kwagga: can you pastebin the log?
[19:07] <kwagga> kaolbrec: ha ha... Getting desperate.. lol
[19:07] <oCean> glaucous: yeah, that'll work too. I think this one is the line I meant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503424/
[19:07] <Braber01> plovs: I have to have remote.pl installed or do i have it alreday?
[19:07] <wabash> dajhorn: No. It's all standard. yeah, I'd guess from the log messages that it's probing it, but there is something wrong with the interface that's not letting it mount...
[19:08] <dajhorn> deeztek: You need to manually enable that feature by uncommenting the line.  Remember to set your email address in the right place too.
[19:08] <kaolbrec> deeztek, uncomment the line for it not to reboot
[19:08] <kaolbrec> ninja'd
[19:08] <kwagga> ChogyDan: the kern log only had info about the vmware server.. nothing relating to the ureadahead issue.. I can paste my fstab/blkid if it might help?
[19:08] <dajhorn> kaolbrec: Nah, I've got the better timestamp on my server. :)
[19:09] <deeztek> okay, I already did that, however is there a chance that the server will simply shutdown (power off) instead of reboot. This server has been randomly powering off and that's why I looked into the autoupdates thing.
[19:09] <glaucous> oCean, yes that works
[19:09] <ChogyDan> kwagga: I still don't think it is a ureadahead issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1434502
[19:09] <dajhorn> deeztek: That is a hardware problem.
[19:10] <six66> guy Im using a linux distro called weakliux its build on fluxbox I guess .. I wana install gnome
[19:10] <six66> how to do that ?
[19:10] <deeztek> Any place I can go to find some hint of information on what's happenning. Syslog doesn't tell me anything useful.
[19:10] <glaucous> oCean, I like it, might as well use that instead, thanks
[19:10] <dajhorn> deeztek: Does the server have a hardware watchdog?
[19:11] <deeztek> It has temp sensors and it's hovering around 40C which I believe it to be normal
[19:11] <oCean> glaucous: ok, enjoy :)
[19:12] <plovs> six66 is it ubuntu? (command: "lsb_release -u" or "cat /etc/issue")
[19:12] <six66> yep
[19:12] <millertimek1a2m3> I have an offtopic question
[19:13] <millertimek1a2m3> !ChanServe offtopic
[19:13] <deeztek> any other place besides syslog I can find anything useful? I tried looking at all the logs I could find but nothing out of the ordinary.
[19:13] <millertimek1a2m3> I need to ask my question where it will be answered
[19:13] <plovs> six66 sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment
[19:13] <JackStoner> millertimek1a2m3: i think try #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:13] <dajhorn> deeztek: If you suspect an overheat, then look at the lm-sensors package and enable verbose temperature logging.
[19:13] <JackStoner> !offtopic
[19:13] <Kruptein> hey a fime minutes back I said I had problems with my ubuntu: init not found on startup
[19:13] <Kruptein> so I made a backup from a livecd
[19:14] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, how does it affect things whether the alternatives settings are user or system wide?
[19:14] <Kruptein> and did fsck
[19:14] <Kyle__> deeztek: Have you tried setting up a remote syslog server?  There's always the chance something is dying and the system doesn't have the chance to log it before powering off.
[19:14] <deeztek> I tried that but I'm getting nothing when I try to start the daemon: sudo service module-init-tools start
[19:14] <deeztek> module-init-tools stop/waiting
[19:14] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  you user can be using their own settings that override the 'system' settings..
[19:14] <Kruptein> now that has succesfully solved everything, but is there anything I Can do to prevent this to happen again because it happened many times to me
[19:14] <Kruptein> Dr_Willis: I solved the problem with fsck
[19:14] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, but i mean, are both editable in G Alternatives?
[19:15] <rusivi> dajhorn / deeztek not butting in I have a consistent problem with my laptop overheating, so I governor the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor then monitor temp via GNOME Sensors Applet.
[19:15] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  I cant recall ever running galternatives as a user.. i run it as root to set the ssytem defaults...
[19:15] <Dr_Willis> Noldorin:  perhaps thats where  we are gettng confuised. :)
[19:15] <Noldorin> perhaps indeed
[19:15] <deeztek> rusivi, this is a server not a desktop machine. No X at all
[19:15] <rusivi> deeztek np
[19:16] <mr_mead> I need to chat with someone who can answer an advanced question about hard drives and installation.
[19:16] <Serraphyn> ugh I can't get it to work >.<
[19:16] <deeztek> mr_mead I maybe be able to help
[19:16] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: You need to ask your question
[19:16] <Noldorin> Dr_Willis, ah, every time i switch users i end up on the unlock screen for my original account, which is unresponsive. then "time expires", and the screen goes black
[19:16] <Seveas> mr_mead, ask in here and if someonw can help, they will
[19:16] <Noldorin> the system basically crashes
[19:16] <deeztek> How do i setup a remote syslog server. Is there a how_to anywhere?
[19:17] <Dr_Willis> deeztek:  i recall seeing articals on setting up such a thing.. not done so in  2+ years.. but i have seen howtos/guides
[19:17] <deeztek> Dr_Willis, I can google it so np
[19:18] <Dr_Willis> deeztek:  actually i think i saw it in a Linux Journal, or Linux Gazette
[19:18] <mr_mead> I am having issues installing ubuntu on this computer.  I have partitioned and set the HD (at /dev/sda) in gparted but the installation program (ubiquity?) does not give me any options for installation.
[19:18] <wabash> dajhorn: Hey, thanks for your help. I don't have an ehci module on my system... Do I need one?
[19:18] <deeztek> I'm just about ready to swap out case and m/b
[19:18] <Dr_Willis> mr_mead:  you mean you set / to be /dev/sda1 ?
[19:19] <dajhorn> wabash: Usually, to get USB at full speed.
[19:19] <wabash> dajhorn: Interesting. Wolud it be called ohci or sdhci or something?
[19:19] <mr_mead> I usually have one partition for root and another for home.
[19:19] <mr_mead> but the installer isn't seeing the hard drive at all.
[19:19] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: You don`t get the side by side, whole disk and manual options
[19:19] <dajhorn> wabash: It should be automatically loaded if needed.  OHCI is an alternative USB implementation.  Most computers have one or the other, but not both.
[19:20] <wabash> dajhorn: Weird! There is no ehci module loaded or in /lib/modules..... My ohci seems to be in subdirs only titled "firewire".
[19:20] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: What file system have you used?
[19:20] <wabash> dajhorn: Do I need to do something like install an extra package??
[19:20] <Licuadora> Why cant i upgrade?
[19:20] <coolsan> anyone hi???????????
[19:20] <mr_mead> I can get all sorts of information on the HD (and I'm paranoid because I am replacing a failed disk)
[19:20] <Licuadora> W: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com maverick Release: Las firmas siguientes no se pudieron verificar porque su llave pública no está disponible: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192
[19:20] <dajhorn> wabash: No, those drivers are in the kernel package.
[19:20] <Licuadora> Why?!
[19:21] <coolsan> when updatin a error fetching problem
[19:21] <dajhorn> wabash: Double check.   My ehci ko is in the usb directory.
[19:21] <wabash> dajhorn: Hm. ok, nothing listed ehci on my system at all.... I wonder, is whci, xhci, sort of the modern version?
[19:21] <Licuadora> How do I fix it?
[19:21] <wabash> dajhorn: Interesting.
[19:21] <wabash> dajhorn: /lib/modules/usb?

[19:22] <coolsan> when updatin a error fetching problem
[19:22] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: I don`t understand, the installer doesn`t recognise your drive? Is this the failed one or a new one? How have you set it up?
[19:22] <FloodBot2> coolsan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:22] <dajhorn> wabash: /lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)
[19:22] <wabash> dajhorn: You using 10.04? Or 9 versino of ubuntu.?
[19:22] <wabash> dajhorn: Right. kernel version.
[19:22] <wabash> dajhorn: what kernel version do you have?
[19:23] <Licuadora> What do you guys suggest?
[19:23] <dajhorn> wabash: I'm on Maverick right now.
[19:24] <wabash> I don't know that... what number is that?
[19:24] <wabash> 10.10?

[19:24] <meh3> hey guys, anyone know how does ubuntu 10.04 works with HP Touchsmart tm2 laptops?
[19:24] <sebsebseb> !10.10 | wabash dajhorn
[19:24] <meh3> with a touchscreen
[19:25] <mr_mead> nothing special: The installer does not recognize the new drive but all the Hard drive related things (pampliset and gparted) report normally. I have set it up a couple different ways now; generally I prefer separate root and home.I've got good blkid feedback.  I can test SMART and benchmark in Pampliset.
[19:25] <dajhorn> sebsebseb:  Go back and read the thread.
[19:25] <wabash> dajhorn: Ok, thanks. Interesting. I'm on 9.10. No files named "ehci" anywhere. Is this the way it's supposed to be? It seems that they should be there. Somewhere...
[19:26] <radioaktiv> hey all!
[19:26] <dajhorn> wabash:  Grep your dmesg for ehci.  It might be folded into the kernel already, or in another USB module.
[19:27] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: Never seen that before. Are you using ext{3,4}?
[19:27] <Daniel> hi everyone
[19:27] <wabash> dajhorn: Ah, thank you.
[19:27] <silasdavis> I am doing a disk clone with dd, how can I turn off all power management in ubuntu livecd?
[19:27] <Daniel> how can i make a message box in C++ for ubuntu?
[19:27] <wabash> dajhorn: Well, the message is there, anyhow.
[19:27] <silasdavis> ideally I want to kill the processes handling this
[19:27] <dajhorn> wabash: Okay, then you've got it loaded.
[19:27] <radioaktiv> anyone able to help me with a sound card problem? using ubuntu studio 10.04 and a m-audio 1010lt
[19:27] <mr_mead> ext4.  that is one thing I haven't tried changing.  I even reset my CMOS in hopes that it was a setting I have tweaked at some point and forgotten.
[19:28] <wabash> dajhorn: Here's the message I get: hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
[19:28] <dajhorn> wabash: That another indicator that the USB stick is dead.
[19:28] <wabash> dajhorn: Yes. Ok, thank you.
[19:28] <Rohanc> glebihan: Hurray, I got it working .. now running VLC latest version on my ubuntu :)
[19:28] <dajhorn> wabash: Welcome.
[19:28] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: And this is a brand new drive?
[19:28] <deeztek> Thanks for the suggestions. I will try to remote syslog server.
[19:28] <deeztek> goodbye
[19:29] <nogo> my vlc takes 0 usage of the cpu now
[19:29] <nogo> is this normal?
[19:29] <mr_mead> nothingspecial: no, previously used by me.  It was just taken out of the server (replaced by a 2 TB raid-1)
[19:31] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: Can you write to it normaly? Does it mount normally? I have never had a drive not recognised by the installer.
[19:31] <detrix42> Daniel: all you want is a simple message box?
[19:32] <w89q7r9w87r9q8w7> mtd
[19:32] <mr_mead> nothingspecial: writes fine (I just copied a file to it). what are other tools I might use to shake some sense into it.  hdparm? fdisk?  I know the tools but
[19:32] <Daniel> detrix42: yeah. i wanna a simple message box. Not so simple!
[19:32] <mr_mead> I want to pull my hair out over this.
[19:33] <detrix42> Daniel: you are using gtk right?
[19:33] <dajhorn> detrix42: Look at the zenity package.
[19:33] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: Which *buntu are you trying to install
[19:33] <a5h15h> how to typecast to convert an int to char
[19:33] <cuddlefish_XO> a5h15h: In what language?
[19:33] <a5h15h> C++
[19:34] <Daniel> no. i have qt4. And i'm using a text editor and the compilers.
[19:34] <rpk> char c = char( integer ); //Like this?
[19:34] <jrib> a5h15h: use ##c++ for help with C++

[19:35] <rpk> or ##c++-basic
[19:35] <jrib> !version | Licuadora
[19:35] <jrib> Licuadora: lsb_release -a
[19:35] <detrix42> Daniel: I have only used gtk.  I stay away from qt, because of their licensing.
[19:35] <mr_mead> I initially tried  10.10 (I wasn't expecting a hassle).  The failed drive was at /dev/sda and this drive /dev/sdb that time.  I then downgraded to 10.04 (booted from USB as well) and tried that configuration again.  Now it is the single drive at /dev/sda that I'm trying to install to.
[19:35] <Licuadora> thx
[19:35] <st__> si it normal for MP3 playback to take 50% processor time?
[19:35] <nogo> st__: that's a bug
[19:36] <st__> in monitor applet?

[19:36] <Daniel> detrix42: Wait a minute! Ubuntu is free. And its's applications too!
[19:36] <nogo> st__: in usual, mplayer and vlc should take less 20% of cpu usage

[19:40] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: I have created some silly/clever/stupid partition tables in mt time, but I can`t understand why the installer is not recognising a single ext4 partition. My only suggestion at this point would be to try ext3.
[19:40] <detrix42> Daniel: ok. moving on....
[19:40] <st__> nothingspecial, is that ubuntu?
[19:40] <detrix42> Daniel: I wont be of much help with qt. sorry.
[19:40] <cuddlefish_XO> NICKLEN'd
[19:41] <Daniel> detrix42: Don't worry about that. Thanks anyway.
[19:41] <nogo> what qt/kde application doesn't have an alternative in gtk/gnome?
[19:41] <mr_mead> nothingspecial:http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zJSZRwuk  nothing helpful there either, eh?
[19:41] <sosyal_12> i install to my netbook ubuntu on the free space. but after that now windows 7 can not find the system recovery partition. but i can see this partition from windows 7. i think just has confiused the partition names,flags or something else.. can someone please help me ?
[19:42] <scandium> hi, just curious: what does the "Tick this box to install the software for this functionality"-box in maverick's installer actually do? enable multiverse?
[19:42] <cuddlefish_XO> scandium: usually
[19:42] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: I`m looking......... and thinking............
[19:42] <detrix42> nogo: there maybe equivalents of gtk/qt, but some qt programs can be buggy on a gtk desktop.
[19:43] <sosyal_12> i install to my netbook ubuntu on the free space. but after that now windows 7 can not find the system recovery partition. but i can see this partition from windows 7. i think just has confiused the partition names,flags or something else.. can someone please help me ?
[19:43] <st__> sosyal_12, what exactly is 'recovery partition'?
[19:43] <nogo> sosyal_12: a hiden partition of the factory?
[19:43] <st__> sosyal_12, you mean that 100MB initial unmounted partition?
[19:43] <cuddlefish_XO> st__: a partition that has recovery tools on it, comes factory-installed
[19:43] <sosyal_12>  st__: i  press f8 and i click to factory format. but it gives an error: windows can not find the system recovery partition. :(
[19:44] <sosyal_12>  st__:  it is 16 gb and 11 used.
[19:44] <sosyal_12> nogo: i dont know if it s hidden. but i can see this partitton from gparted.
[19:45] <sosyal_12> nogo: i did not resize it. i am sure.
[19:45] <bihari_> i am running Oracle VM virtual box. i got this problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/503438/ PLz help me
[19:45] <nogo> sosyal_12: that's too bad. you should removed all hdds then installed the ubuntu onto a usbkey
[19:46] <erkan^> wie riep me? :S
[19:46] <sosyal_12> nogo:  usb key ?
[19:46] <sosyal_12> nogo: i just need to boot this partition but how ? :(
[19:46] <nogo> sosyal_12: umm, it's fast
[19:46] <nogo> sosyal_12: now, you need a rescue livecd
[19:46] <mr_mead> nothingspecial: http://i.imgur.com/dMoI1.png
[19:47] <sosyal_12> rescue livecd ? what will i do with that ?
[19:47] <mr_mead> nothingspecial: thats all I got.  I need a break.
[19:47] <tgywa> How can I compare the overall performance of two Ubuntu VMs?
[19:47] <sosyal_12>  nogo:  rescue livecd ? what will i do with that ?
[19:47] <st__> sosyal_12, you need to check if 'recoverysequence' in bootloader has correct partition and path
[19:47] <Licuadora> ¿O sea que debo de reinstalar todo otra vez!?
[19:48] <Licuadora> todos los programas y librerias que ya estaban instalados!?
[19:48] <nogo> sosyal_12: it's time to use google
[19:48] <nothingspecial> mr_mead:  I have to go too, but from what I guess, you don`t have a propper partition on there. I would try gparted again and report back. Cheers :)
[19:48] <sosyal_12> st__:  i can open gparted from live cd properly. i can manage the flags .
[19:48] <sosyal_12> st__: but what should i do ?
[19:48] <st__> sosyal_12, you need to boot into W7 and edit BCD there
[19:48] <tgywa> I want to do kind of stress test ... but would like to get a program ... which can simulate ... a high load situation ... is there a tool to do that??
[19:49] <nothingspecial> st__: Que?
[19:49] <sosyal_12> st__: i can open windows7 too. but what is BCD ? and how to edit ?
[19:49] <st__> sosyal_12, lookup bcdedit in Windows help
[19:49] <driva> use EasyBCD
[19:49] <driva> it more user friendly
[19:49] <bihari_>  i am running Oracle VM virtual box. i got this problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/503438/ PLz help me
[19:50] <st__> sosyal_12, then look at {current} section; it has 'recoverysequence' property
[19:50] <st__> sosyal_12, it is a GUID of BCD record which describes recovery partition and path on it
[19:52] <driva> hello !
[19:52] <driva> :D
[19:53] <nogo> mandriva is dead
[19:53] <tetsu> Is there a problem with the current Samba package? 'samba' doesnt come with a binary or /etc/init.d/samba script.
[19:53] <nothingspecial> mr_mead: kids need stories - later :
[19:54] <st__> it was bought by commies I heard
[19:54] <dajhorn> bihari_:  Do you have anything like VMware or W4L installed too?
[19:54] <tgywa> How can I simulate high work load of an ubuntu server??
[19:55] <nogo> tgywa: seach 'benchmark' in your synaptic
[19:55] <AbhiJit> tgywa, #ubuntu-server
[19:55] <erUSUL> tetsu: /etc/init/smbd.conf and /etc/init/nmbd.conf
[19:55] <ceil420> dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/null
[19:55] <bihari_> i have vm virtual box only dajhorn
[19:55] <erUSUL> tetsu: they are handled by upstart now; no init SysV
[19:55] <tetsu> erUSUL: so I should be using 'samba' and not 'samba4'?
[19:55] <dajhorn> bihari_: Did you install it from virtualbox.org, or from the default Ubuntu repository?
[19:55] <erUSUL> tetsu: do not understand the question.
[19:55] <driva> bihari : have you try to run vboxdrv setup ?
[19:56] <change_of_heart> Scuse me :) My 64bit ubuntu does not function properly, its laggy and unresponsive, but windows 64 bit runs perfectly on my machine. What can i do ?
[19:56] <Licuadora> I installed 10.10 dev version, and now, when i try to update, it wont let me
[19:56] <tetsu> erUSUL: I installed Samba4, because it suggests you install the samba4 package when you try to run 'samba' as a command
[19:56] <Licuadora> an error message window apears
[19:56] <erUSUL> tetsu: you should. start/restart/stop them with upstart commands. see man initctl/start/stop/restart
[19:56] <Pici> Licuadora : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion.
[19:56] <tetsu> erUSUL: thank you, ill try that
[19:56] <driva> change_of_heart : switch your OS to slackware
[19:56] <driva> =))
[19:56] <change_of_heart> slackware ?
[19:57] <driva> yup
[19:57] <driva> :D
[19:57] <dajhorn> driva: You just dated yourself.  :)
[19:57] <change_of_heart> ....
[19:57] <dajhorn> change_of_heart: It is a joke.
[19:57] <driva> ??
[19:57] <change_of_heart> your promoting other distros on a ubuntu chat forum driva ?
[19:57] <change_of_heart> sigh

[19:57] <bihari_> well dajhorn i have install it
[19:58] <change_of_heart> Scuse me :) My 64bit ubuntu does not function properly, its laggy and unresponsive, but windows 64 bit runs perfectly on my machine. What can i do ?
[19:58] <wabash> dajhorn: Hey, I tried booting into one kernel version before, and it seemed to fix the problem! So I don't know what's going on, other than I did the pae kernel, and this might have messed it up.
[19:58] <kubanc> is there any possibility to install wine in ubuntu live CD ?
[19:58] <dajhorn> change_of_heart: You need to ask a better question.   Linux and Windows aren't directly comparable like this.
[19:58] <dajhorn> change_of_heart: What is slow that you think should be faster?
[19:59] <nogo> driva: are you a fired mandriva developer?
[19:59] <change_of_heart> dajhorn, i used to use ubuntu 32bit and it ran perfectly. But when i installed 64bit today, it is unresponsive, the keyboard does not function properly, it freezes
[19:59] <dajhorn> kubanc: Yes, if you have an Internet connection, then you can install the wine packages.
[19:59] <dajhorn> change_of_heart: What is the manufacturer and model of the slow computer?
[19:59] <change_of_heart> :S
[20:00] <change_of_heart> hp pavilion entertainment laptop
[20:00] <change_of_heart> :/
[20:00] <change_of_heart> it runs 64bit windoes 7 ok
[20:00] <change_of_heart> and i ran some hardware to check for 64bit compatibility
[20:00] <change_of_heart> it says its ok
[20:00] <nogo> change_of_heart: ubuntu has a hcl site, you are lucky
[20:00] <mawst> top is your friend change_of_heart

[20:03] <tgywa> where can I get Linux Benchmarking Toolkit (LBT)?
[20:04] <nogo> tgywa: no clue. i won't install it if it's not in the repos
[20:04] <tgywa> nogo, sorry for being silly ... but I don't know how to search in my synaptic
[20:04] <xeross> I come back and all I get is a lousy mention by a spambot :(
[20:04] <nogo> tgywa: ...
[20:05] <nogo> tgywa: the synaptic is in your menu
[20:05] <tgywa> nogo, I know how to search synaptic on GUI ... but not command line
[20:05] <kubanc> dajhorn, i have internet connection? do i install it with sudo apt-get install wine?
[20:06] <tgywa> nogo, but now I have only command line Ubuntu
[20:06] <Huldabir2> apt-cache search <string>
[20:06] <nogo> tgywa: it's time to adandon old-fasion apt and aptitude
[20:06] <nogo> tgywa: this is not debian
[20:07] <dajhorn> kubanc: yes, you can do it that way.
[20:07] <kubanc> dajhorn, it cannot find package wine
[20:08] <driva> .
[20:08] <gjorgji> how do i make a script that launches chat,irc,chrome,rhytmbox on login?
[20:08] <kermit> i need some certifications fast, whats quick cheap easy that anyone's still heard of?
[20:08] <dajhorn> kubanc: You must enable the "universe" section in the Software Sources panel.
[20:09] <st__> gjorgji, i think session management tools are better since they store windows positions
[20:10] <PyjamaSpank> permissions question: how do i make /folder/dir3 accessible to a user, but not dir1, dir2 and dir4 subfolders list/show up?
[20:10] <gjorgji> session management tools?
[20:10] <nogo> gjorgji: it's like in xfce
[20:11] <nogo> gjorgji: open all applications you want, then save the session
[20:12] <Huldabir> kubanc: "wine" is in the repos
[20:12] <nogo> PyjamaSpank: it sounds like you need a complex acl solution
[20:12] <Huldabir> kubanc: else there is a ppa repos: ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
[20:12] <kubanc> it is working now, thanks

[20:19] <nogo> pqi's cf card is solid as a rock
[20:19] <sshc> I'm using gnome
[20:19] <lazyPower> sshc, you can either use ubuntu tweak, or you can use the gconf editor
[20:19] <undecim> Will rc.local run before or after daemons are started?
[20:19] <trism> !controls | sshc
[20:20] <vuln> nogo: so?
[20:20] <nogo> vuln: so don't worry about wear-out

[20:22] <jcrawford> maybe one that can sync between computers?
[20:22] <vuln> JackStoner: nah that sucks :(
[20:22] <JackStoner> jcrawford: keepassx
[20:23] <vuln> Things usually just don't have 'supported by Linux' and it doesn't mean it's not supported.
[20:23] <plovs> jcrawford or lastpass in your browser
[20:23] <JackStoner> vuln: well...by the look of things...it kinda means it doesnt...
[20:23] <vuln> Do you think if I format it in a different filesystem or whatever, Linux can load it nogo JackStoner ?
[20:23] <JackStoner> vuln: you can try
[20:23] <ThonEney> anyone know how can i make konversation autologin before attempting to join channels?
[20:24] <st__> except hilarious engrish desctiption, it's just a flash pen drive
[20:24] <JackStoner> jcrawford: keepassx, keep the database file in dropbox and load it from there
[20:24] <HoNgOuRu> anybody give me a hand please
[20:24] <nogo> vuln: that won't cure the cancer. your problem is a glith partition table
[20:24] <jcrawford> JackStoner, good idea

[20:25] <DragonKeeper> yes like you can install the gnome desktop on server     i was wondering if can install the server core inside desktop
[20:26] <st__> DragonKeeper, of course
[20:26] <luist> how do i create Packages.gz for my custom ubuntu repo? i had a site reference but i cant find it :(

[20:26] <nogo> vuln: if sda is your drive
[20:26] <JackStoner> HoNgOuRu: i think u need pulseaudio mixer
[20:26] <st__> JackStoner, noone wants a program last commit to it was 3 years ago and which crash if password contains . character, right?

[20:29] <st__> utility to rename user, exists?
[20:29] <jshriver> Is there a bug in Ubuntu's Intel video driver? I can only get the system to work in failsafe mode
[20:29] <llutz> usermod st__
[20:29] <JackStoner> st__: i see
[20:29] <jshriver> If so are there any alternative drivers
[20:29] <vuln> damn it. I just tried calling them nogo JackStoner. But there is a recording saying a lot of bs and that anything else I should come to the webiste -.-
[20:29] <tetsu> thanks, erUSUL! I finally got it configured in a way we can use :)
[20:30] <st__> jshriver, there is always vesa
[20:30] <JackStoner> vuln: calling who?? sorry i wasnt paying attention
[20:30] <akaustav> I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. I wanted to know if it is ok to add the maverick repositories in my repository list and start an update.
[20:30] <jshriver> was hoping for at least some hardware support vesa is pretty low
[20:30] <vuln> JackStoner: Pqi Company
[20:30] <JackStoner> st__: usermod
[20:30] <jshriver> st__ how do you revert to using just vesa for Xorg
[20:30] <vuln> JackStoner: so do you suggest me to format it/
[20:30] <akaustav> Will it break anything?
[20:30] <jshriver> at least till I can find a better driver that actually works
[20:31] <llutz> akaustav: most likely
[20:31] <st__> akaustav, it's _never_ ok
[20:31] <JackStoner> vuln: if the warranty is not void by doing so then by all means
[20:31] <dajhorn> akaustav: Try `update-manager -d` unless you have a good reason to do it manually.
[20:31] <akaustav> Ok.
[20:31] <erUSUL> tetsu: congrats
[20:31] <JackStoner> vuln: or you can try google for some answers if someone else finds it not supported
[20:32]  * nogo will keep buying pqi
[20:32] <jhutchins> Is it true that the current ubuntu xchat comes preconfigured to join frenode#debian?

[20:33] <HexLaTor> hi, i heared that the developpement of ubuntu 10.10 is finished, wich means that ubuntu RC is the same wich gonna be available in 10/10/2010...is that a fact ?
[20:33] <nogo> jhutchins: maybe it's just a package of debian
[20:33] <vuln> JackStoner: It says only the application software.
[20:33] <vuln> and it's not my model.
[20:33] <xangua> HexLaTor: no
[20:34] <akaustav> I just wanted to update vlc to the latest version. That required me to add maverick main and maverick universe repositories.
[20:34] <nogo> jhutchins: but, ubuntu is more moral than such as ylmf
[20:34] <jhutchins> nogo: No, it seems to be happening on ubuntu installations.
[20:34] <HexLaTor> xangua : why ? is there anything else to add these 10 days ??
[20:34] <xangua> akaustav: http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/08/vlc-in-ubuntu-gets-new-ppa-and-its.html
[20:34] <LjL> jhutchins: yikes, i hope not, or the #debian ops will stone us to death i'm sure
[20:34] <jhutchins> nogo: This has happened several times before, the packagers are too lazy to change the settings when they rebuild it.
[20:34] <LjL> jhutchins: what version would that be, Maverick?
[20:35] <nogo> jhutchins: i have unistalled xchat, it's not to be trusted
[20:35] <jhutchins> LjL: Trying to find out so I can bugreport it.
[20:35] <jhutchins> 2.8.6

[20:50] <MalelDraconis> Hey, can anyone tell me how to convert .mp3 to .wav?  I can do it the other way around, but can't get it to work this way
[20:50] <alanEdukeDotOrg> hey guys
[20:50] <dajhorn> MalelDraconis: `sox` is an easy way.
[20:50] <MalelDraconis> dajhorn, how would I go about doing this?
[20:51] <dajhorn> MalelDraconis: Install sox, read the docs, and run it.
[20:51] <shubbar> i see you put mr floodbot on the gate
[20:51] <shubbar> anyway,
[20:51] <MalelDraconis> dajhorn, thanks
[20:51] <travis_______> hey there, is it possible to read the output from a tty console into a pts type one?
[20:51] <shubbar> i m having trouble with my external wd drive
[20:51] <dajhorn> MalelDraconis: Welcome.  Remember to install the extra -fmt packages for sox.   sox infile.mp3 outfile.wav
[20:52] <shubbar> sometimes, i cannot access it and it give a click, click sound
[20:52] <erUSUL> MalelDraconis: ffmpeg -i file.mp3 file.wav
[20:52] <shubbar> could it be from the ntfs file system?
[20:53] <Borgoluzzuo> does anyone know how to install zlib?
[20:54] <erUSUL> Borgoluzzuo: is already intalled; you mean the dev files?
[20:54] <Borgoluzzuo> I tried installing rubygems, but everytime I do gem list, I get "ERROR:  Loading command: list (LoadError)
[20:54] <Borgoluzzuo>     no such file to load -- zlib
[20:54] <Borgoluzzuo> "
[20:54] <Borgoluzzuo> erUSUL: Any ideas?

[20:54] <hiexpo> what kind of dile is it  ?
[20:54] <zamba> i'm looking for a router distro that supports openvpn, 802.1q and QoS
[20:55] <zamba> any suggestions?
 are the maverick fonts available somewhere for a lucid user (not for long)
 ?
[20:55] <guntbert> !ot | zamba
[20:55] <Borgoluzzuo> st_: Then reinstall rubygems?
[20:55] <hiexpo> ^file Borgoluzzuo
[20:55] <erUSUL> Borgoluzzuo: you may need libzlib-ruby
[20:55] <nogo> blackxored: your fonts are blur all the time
[20:55] <st__> erUSUL, does it exist?
[20:55] <erUSUL> !info libzlib-ruby
[20:56] <st__> dummy, mind you
[20:56] <Borgoluzzuo> I'm assuming I need to reinstall ruby and/or rubygems after installing those libs?
[20:56] <undecim> how to run a command after all the init.d scripts have run?
[20:56] <st__> blackxored, maverick font as new ubuntu font?
[20:57] <MashPotato> when doing a "fdisk -l /dev/sda1" (that's where my windows XP partition resides), I get this warning: "Partition table entries are not in disk order" - I assume I could fix it with fsck, but what should I really do?
[20:57] <blackxored> st__, how to get it in lucid?
[20:57] <st__> blackxored, i would unadvise it because it poor copy of MS Segoe UI font
[20:57] <nogo> blackxored: all free fonts are badly hinted
[20:57] <undecim> MashPotato: I don't think fsck will fix that, because it's not a filesystem issue
[20:58] <st__> blackxored, it's somewhere in PPA on launchpad
[20:58] <undecim> MashPotato: More importantly, why are you running fdisk on a partition rather than a drive?
[20:58] <st__> blackxored, i believe you should be in beta program to get access
[20:58] <blackxored> st__ yep I am
[20:58] <blackxored> it happens i reinstalled
[20:58] <MashPotato> undecim: right, what sort of issue is it? I need to get certain information from fdisk in order to run that partition in VirtualBox
[20:58] <st__> blackxored, one minute
[20:58] <blackxored> but now it says not found, so i assume it's moved
[20:59] <erUSUL> nogo: feel free to improve them ;P
[20:59] <nogo> erUSUL: i have my own elite fonts
[20:59] <undecim> MashPotato: You need to use sda, not sda1. Fdisk is interpreting the partition as a whole other disk and interpreting data as a partition table when in fact it would be the filesystem header.
[20:59] <MashPotato> undecim: ah silly me
[20:59] <MashPotato> undecim: thank you

[21:00] <supernapalm> Heya (on 10.4 btw), I'm trying to get Half Life 2 working, got it started in game with sound, but it doesn't show any models like all npcs but background objects are fine. I was told on the wine irc that I needed more reliable drivers (got edge open source ones atm) like gallium3d but I'm not sure how to remove my old drivers and install ones that might work better
[21:00] <vuln> I was pluggin it upside down -.-
[21:00] <vuln> that's why it wasn't working.
[21:00] <iAmTheDave> stupid question - trying to change the bash prompt for user. PS1 in ~/.bash_profile works great, but /root/.bashrc doesn't seem to run when i do "sudo -s" - am i missing something?
[21:00] <vuln> lol
[21:00]  * vuln face palms nogo 
[21:01] <iAmTheDave> i can manually "source /root/.bashrc" and i get my settings set
[21:01] <st__> blackxored, sorry, cannot find ppa address
[21:01] <blackxored> st__, there you go :'(
[21:01] <erUSUL> iAmTheDave: use « sudo -i »
[21:01] <erUSUL> !rootshell | iAmTheDave
[21:01] <undecim> iAmTheDave: I think you need to use sudo -i, otherwise you have environment variable problems.
[21:01] <iAmTheDave> erUSUL: brilliant
[21:02] <iAmTheDave> and yeah, i usually sudo one-off commands
[21:03] <iAmTheDave> undecim: thnks :)

[21:06] <mxe5> I have a laptop that has Ubuntu and can't remember the password - can I boot to a live CD and reset my password somehow ? ?
[21:06] <seekwill> erUSUL: hehe, yeah, I was looking something similar to Preview on OSX :)

[21:06] <dajhorn> xiven: Cygwin has a mount command, but it doesn't work in the same was as a native mount command.  You need an IFS driver for Windows.

[21:06] <st__> mxe5, edit command line and change init to /bin/bash, then change it from there
[21:07] <aef> hi, i'm running an Ubuntu lucid system as guest on a Debian lenny xen hypervisor. I use pygrub to boot the system with Ubuntu's own kernel, also the system is installed on an lvm partition. Recently I stopped the guest system to increase it's memory from 1024 to 1280 MiB. After doing that, the system isn't booting up correctly anymore. It just stops without any errors after calling the init-bottom section of the initramfs image. this initramfs stage
[21:07] <aef>  contains udev and plymouth. any idea what could cause this?
[21:07] <aef> changing the memory size back doesn't make the system boot again
[21:07] <sburwood> st__: thank you for your answer
[21:07] <sburwood> bye
[21:07] <aef> i also tried reinstalling the guest system with the newer beta maverick ubuntu distro. the same thing happend after increasing the memory size
[21:07] <alaing> its it good to use /vars/www if you planning to have a user ftp files to that folder?
[21:07] <helper> heyss! how i can send attachment file using mutt?
[21:07] <dajhorn> supernapalm: If the regular wine packages don't work, then try CrossOver.  It is unlikely that gallium3d is packaged for Lucid.
[21:07] <Eimhin> Can anyone give me advice on how to get a PS3 controller working with a laptop running Ubuntu?
[21:08] <Varazir> I just like to say that the first Gotchas on this page is false https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto

[21:09] <HoNgOuRu> how do I install codecs for recording videos? I need the mp3 codec
[21:09] <Varazir> st__: then I need to create a account
[21:09] <dajhorn> glaucous: Doing this is still somewhat dangerous on Lucid.  Look for a helper script in the hdparm package.  You might need to upgrade hdparm to get the helper script.
[21:10] <erUSUL> HoNgOuRu: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[21:10] <HoNgOuRu> ok

[21:11] <HoNgOuRu> I think I need a codec
[21:11] <HoNgOuRu> for mp3
[21:11] <TiK> nice just booted ubuntu in the computer lab at school
[21:12] <glaucous> dajhorn, yes I heard something about that. I believe I can live without TRIM for a while until it's safer, trim doesn't affect life time much anyhow
[21:12] <HoNgOuRu> I was using the pcm16 but it breakes after a while
[21:12] <TiK> gstreamer
[21:12] <TiK> i think

[21:12] <TiK> I have a list at home.. you can google 10.04 +after install and get the list
[21:13] <ben_q> anyone know why network speed is low (samba 8.9MB/s, ftp 11.xMB/s) between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server, locally linked via gbit-network-cards
[21:13] <nogo> glaucous: let winzone users be the lab mice
[21:13] <Eimhin> Can anyone give me advice on how to get a PS3 controller working with a laptop running Ubuntu?
[21:13] <dajhorn> ben_q: Use ethtool and check whether the interfaces are running at 100 mbit.
[21:14] <ben_q> thanks, dajhorn, I will try
[21:14] <Evil_Eric> Tik was that for me?
[21:14] <TiK> Evil_Eric: idk

[21:15] <Daniel> hi everyone. I'm improving the 71529-ubucleaner.sh script so, which command can i input for delete the terminal history? And which command to restart and clean terminal?
[21:16] <glaucous> In what directory are deb files stored by apt-get?
[21:16] <HoNgOuRu> gstreamer? Tik

[21:17] <Evil_Eric> well if anyone has answers or links to my question please pm me the question is 'How to change the log in screen on ubuntu 10,04 not the back ground screen but the actual smaller screen where you type your user name and password?" thanks guys
[21:17] <erUSUL> Daniel: of all users? will be run as root?
[21:17] <glaucous> LjL, st__ , I guess you might as well put that on RAM/tmpfs then?
[21:17] <erUSUL> glaucous: why?
[21:17] <Eimhin> Can anyone give me advice on how to get a PS3 controller working with a laptop running Ubuntu?
[21:17] <Daniel> erUSUL: Yeah.
[21:17] <st__> glaucous, why not?
[21:17] <TiK> HoNgOuRu: yeah gstreamer: or google  ubuntu 10.04 +after install and it lists them
[21:17] <wirelessdreamer> i'm stuck in a dependency loop, tied into this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-cluster-7.0/+bug/629005
[21:17] <LjL> glaucous: hmm. i guess it wouldn't have adverse effects, except for the fact that if you uninstall a package and then reinstall it, it'll have to be downloaded again
[21:17] <dajhorn> daniel: HISTSIZE=0 and reinvoke.  History behaves differently in non-bash shells.
[21:18] <bobstro> Evil_Eric:  what did you want to change?
[21:18] <wirelessdreamer>  I can't get apt back into a sane state after trying to install mysqlcluster this is on LTS not RC
[21:18] <glaucous> erUSUL, the SSD will probably enjoy it (less writes).
[21:18] <HoNgOuRu> ok
[21:18] <HoNgOuRu> thanks
[21:18] <glaucous> LjL, exactly, shouldn't be a problem
[21:18] <bobstro> ben_q:  you've seen the docs on improving samba performance
[21:18] <Daniel> erUSUL: OK.
[21:18] <Rotham> hey....
[21:19] <HoNgOuRu> Tik, I can listen to mp3 files
[21:19] <Rotham> im trying to install ubuntu and the partition I want to install it on is showing up as unusable
[21:19] <Evil_Eric> bobstro, i want to change the color i am currently customizing ubuntu for a darker theme
[21:19] <bobstro> ben_q:  also, is anything else on the network?
[21:19] <HoNgOuRu> my problem is that I want to encode using mp3
[21:19] <bobstro> ben_q:  or hitting the server?
[21:19] <Rotham> I made it by shrinking my main windows install partition
[21:19] <Rotham> how can I fix that?
[21:19] <erUSUL> Daniel: asumming all users have their homes in /home/ ; « for dir in /home/*/; do : > "$dir"/.bash_history; done » but if the users use a different shell it wont work ;P
[21:19] <HoNgOuRu> btw Im intererested in use the flv + mp3 encoder so I can upload it to youtube
[21:19] <st__> Evil_Eric, it's somewhere deep in appearance settings
[21:19] <glaucous> Is there a command in mount to mount all drives in fstab after it has been changed? To make sure it works that is.
[21:20] <Evil_Eric> no it not
[21:20] <bobstro> st__:  for the login screen?
[21:20] <janisozaur> hello. recently I tried to install maverick daily on a pendrive, I've done it many times in the past, this time however, upon successful finish, my pendrive doesn't mount, nor it is listed in boot-up devices on my laptop. the only log shown in /var/log/messages after inserting it to usb slot is "new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13" and nothing more. "ls /dev/sd*" is the same before and after plugging it in. any idea
[21:20] <janisozaur> s how can I fix it?
[21:20] <erUSUL> glaucous: sudo mount -a -o remount
[21:20] <glaucous> erUSUL, that's the one, thanks
[21:21] <h00k> !maverick | janisozaur
[21:21] <Daniel> dajhorn: OK
[21:21] <bobstro> Evil_Eric:  to change the login scree, there are some workarounds that basically involve launching the root user's appearance settings. i don't recall the specifics, but if you google for something like "change ubuntu 10.04 login" you should find them. it's amazingly difficult with the latest releases.
[21:21] <janisozaur> h00k, why would you suggest that?
[21:21] <janisozaur> h00k, this was all done on lucid and concerns lucid
[21:21] <Eimhin> Can anyone give me advice on how to get a PS3 controller working with a laptop running Ubuntu?
[21:21] <Borgoluzzuo> does anyone know how to upgrade ruby from 1.8.6 to 1.8.7 via apt-get ?
[21:21] <Evil_Eric> wooohooo dificult here we come
[21:22] <bobstro> Evil_Eric:  well... really annoying anyhow.
[21:22] <dajhorn> janisozaur: Flash drives burn out.  Isolate the problem by trying a second USB stick.
[21:22] <Evil_Eric> bobstro, ive been at this for 3 days now
[21:22] <h00k> janisozaur: I misunderstood, apologies.
[21:22] <bobstro> Evil_Eric:  oh, it shouldn't be *that* hard. let me check my history, maybe i've got a link.
[21:22] <crucialhoax> Is anyone else having a problem with banshee 1.7.6? Mine is crashing every time I open it..
[21:22] <janisozaur> dajhorn, after half a year? I doubt it. but indeed, other pendrives do work
[21:23] <Evil_Eric> well ive been doing other things also
[21:23] <Daniel> erUSUL: Ok. But have you seen the Terminal menu? Reset and Clear?
[21:24] <ruif13> hi, please anyone can help? i don't have sound in my phones :( i'm using 10.04
[21:24] <erUSUL> Daniel: "clear" and "reset" are actual terminal commands that do what you expect
[21:24] <alkrop> Hello, how do I find which ati version of the drivers I have downloaded from ubuntu software manager?:D
[21:24] <ruif13> :(
[21:24] <janisozaur> dajhorn, it's "ocz", I'd say they aren't known for producing crap. at least I hope so
[21:24] <kichawa> hi, i have to press enter to see the login field in gdm
[21:24] <Evil_Eric> hey bobstro if you find that link just pm it to me if you would please sir
[21:25] <Daniel> erUSUL: yeah but this command can be executed by typing in terminal?
[21:25] <Rotham> I resized a windows partition to install ubuntu, and now the free space is showing up as unusable... how can I fix this?
[21:25] <nogo> janisozaur: some people claimed they got screwed by corsair
[21:26] <st__> Rotham, in disk manager it's fine
[21:26] <janisozaur> nogo, any chance that you know if their results are similar?
[21:26] <dwarder> how the game is called where tux shoots colored iceballs?
[21:27] <Evil_Eric> is 10.10 stable yet
[21:27] <KimK> frozen bubble?
[21:27] <nogo> janisozaur: i am lucky. i don't touch corsair, ocz and gskill
[21:27] <dwarder> KimK: yeah, thanks :)
[21:27] <Rotham> st__ : I resized it with the windows 7 disk manager, but ubuntu doesnt like it.
[21:27] <alkrop> Evil_Eric,  Go to #ubuntu+1
[21:27] <KimK> there's a similar one with a monkey
[21:27] <st__> Rotham, just create a new partition there
[21:27] <xcyclist> Evil_Eric:  10.10 is still beta and is covered in #Ubuntu+1 or something like that.
[21:28] <MaMoUs> Can i two passwords open one account In ubuntu 10.04 ?
[21:28] <janisozaur> xcyclist, actually, it's rc
[21:28] <Rotham> do I have to create the new partition in windows?
[21:28] <xbonesx> how do you set these? http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter?page=1
[21:28] <xcyclist> Ok.  Yes, that sounds right.  But it is #ubuntu+1 right?
[21:28] <guntbert> MaMoUs: that question was not clear to me
[21:28] <Evil_Eric> yeah but you would think with 9 days left befor release that they would know if its stable yet
[21:28] <janisozaur> xcyclist, yes. there is ubuntu factoid "!maverick" for that
[21:29] <nogo> Evil_Eric: i saw that final countdown everywhere
[21:29] <nogo> ubuntu has the best marketing
[21:29] <Evil_Eric> i cant get away from it
[21:29] <guntbert> Evil_Eric: just don't discuss it here - we have enough traffic, don't you think?
[21:30] <xcyclist> So, in my 10.04 I have recently lost the top-bar icons for both the network configurations, and pidgeon's little green dot.  What's with that?
[21:30] <MaMoUs> guntbert: ... 1 i have 1 user in my PC, and i want to make two deferent passwords for the same user
[21:31] <guntbert> MaMoUs: no, that is not possible, why do you want that?
[21:31] <kla> Why is 'nautilus' running in the background while in my kde session??
[21:32] <dwarder> KimK: do you know how to turn off sound of this game?
[21:32] <nogo> MaMoUs: there are many acl models already
[21:32] <Crazy_Dave> A little help.... I'm running ubuntu 10.4.1. I want to do away with the upper panel on my desktp screen and run everything through the bottom panel. I've moved all the icons accept the wired connection icon. And there seems to be no way to move the icon to the lower panel. Any help with this? Would it harm my connection if I just deleted the panel and icon ?
[21:32] <sometux_> does anyone know about a free ssl vpn service?
[21:32] <KimK> I think there's a menu item, isn't there?
[21:32] <xcyclist> Crazy_Dave:  I think you can just move the whole panel to down below instead of above and use them 2 on the bottom.
[21:33] <nogo> Crazy_Dave: i use only one panel. it's enough
[21:33] <Crazy_Dave> I tried that, but it looked to crowded
[21:33] <nogo> Crazy_Dave: this is not mint
[21:33] <Crazy_Dave> xcyclist: I tried that but it looked too crowded
[21:33] <MaMoUs> guntbert: Cz the password i use it unlock my email password in evolution, and i don't want to keep sign in and entring passwords if i change it, Cz if my sister log in i don't want to give her the pass for my files
[21:34] <xcyclist> Crazy_Dave:  Yes, I wouldn't like it that way either.  Isn't the bottom panel a different beast though?
[21:34] <VCoolio> kla: did you use nautilus earlier in your session?
[21:34] <Crazy_Dave> nogo: I'm not using mint but I am familiar with that OS' environment
[21:34] <guntbert> MaMoUs: then make a new account for her - or let her use the "guest" account
[21:34] <nogo> Crazy_Dave: sure, if you are a panda
[21:34] <kla> VCoolio, I didn't, I think it was launched automatically
[21:35] <KimK> I'm having trouble in 10.04 using the "Main Menu" menu editor.  I made some changes, but I've been deleting some entries.  I'm getting the idea I shouldn't do that, just uncheck them.  Anyway, I lost a menu entry for an app, and I tried "uninstall completely" followed by "install" (reinstall).  I also tried "revert", but that's a mixed blessing, took me awhile to fix things up again after that.  Any other ideas on how to restore a lost menu item?
[21:35] <ben_q> I tried ethtool and it says on both devices "100Mb/s FULL duplex", although both cards can do "1000Mb/s FULL", how can I force them? if I try to set it with ethtool, it's resetting again
[21:35] <nogo> Crazy_Dave: in fact, there is a better choice for pandas. it's ylmf
[21:35] <Eimhin> Can anyone give me advice on how to get a PS3 controller working with a laptop running Ubuntu?
[21:35] <dwarder> how do i disable sound in frozen bubbles?
[21:35] <MaMoUs> guntbert: we don't want to make a new user, and about that guest she want to use admin stuff, so she could use all featuers and install any thing she likes
[21:35] <Crazy_Dave> xcyclist. It doesn't seem to support the open window tray icons
[21:35] <st__> MaMoUs, add it to admin group
[21:35] <VCoolio> kla: check if it's in /etc/xdg/autostart  those could be autostarted while you didn't set it; if so, remove, or move to ~/.local/share/applications and edit to not autostart
[21:36] <MaMoUs> st__: we don't want to make a new user thats why
[21:36] <nogo> Crazy_Dave: i have 3 applets for mixer, alsa and pulse on my only one panel
[21:36] <crucialhoax> Is anyone else having a problem with banshee 1.7.6? Mine is crashing every time I open it..
[21:36] <st__> MaMoUs, add existing user and it will be able to use sudo
[21:36] <xcyclist> What's wrong with making a new user?
[21:36] <guntbert> MaMoUs: then make a new user for her and give that account "managing priviledges" - creating a new user is easy and fast
[21:37] <st__> crucialhoax, run it in terminal and submit a bug
[21:37] <crucialhoax> st__: There is nothing in the terminal that suggests a crash, even when I run it in debug mode :( and I already submitted a bug
[21:37] <Crazy_Dave> nogo: I have all my icons such as dat/time, shutdown, volume control, help menu, etc on the lower panle
[21:37] <st__> crucialhoax, appy strace :)
[21:37] <crucialhoax> st__: huh?
[21:38] <st__> run it via strace and make log
[21:38] <kla> VCoolio, nautilus doesn't seem to be in any of the files under /etc/xdg/autostart afaict
[21:38] <nogo> Crazy_Dave: i have ALL hardware sensors on it too
[21:39] <KimK> dwarder: F11 toggles the music, F12 toggles the music & sound Fx: http://www.frozen-bubble.org/faq/#functionkeys
[21:39] <supernapalm> ok so I tried the suggestion of installing Crossover Games to get Half Life running properly but steam wouldn't work after installing. Everything works fine in wine I just can't see models such as all NPCs (including Gman in the opening) but the background objects are fine
[21:39] <kla> VCoolio, but it must have been left overs from the gnome install since I installed the kubuntu-desktop virtual package after installing from a regular cd
[21:39] <x0rs_ha> if I am going to compile programs on my ubuntu PC are there any prerequisite packages I need to install to make sure the compiles will work?
[21:39] <kla> VCoolio, it's probably being started through some mechanism that I don't know of
[21:40] <Crazy_Dave> nogo, I tried that but there is no icon in ubuntu for the bottom panel that shows that I am connected to the internet
[21:40] <dajhorn> x0rs_ha: Install the build-essential package.
[21:40] <nogo> x0rs_ha: i can chroot and build something without extra installations
[21:40] <x0rs_ha> dajhorn: excellent, thanks
[21:41] <nogo> Crazy_Dave: how comes?
[21:41] <VCoolio> kla: maybe it's something in gdm; you could open gconf-editor and uncheck option to draw desktop in apps>nautilus>desktop, but that will affect login into gnome too, but it's not hard to reset
[21:41] <Eimhin> Can anyone give me advice on how to get a PS3 controller working with a laptop running Ubuntu?
[21:41] <nogo> Crazy_Dave: don't you have 'networkmanager'?
[21:41] <kla> VCoolio, i've set kdm as a display manager though
[21:41] <Crazy_Dave> nogo: Yes, I do have network manage
[21:41] <crucialhoax> st__: How can I get strace to write to a file so I can upload it?
[21:41]  * nogo scratches the head
[21:42] <preecher> is there a command i can enter to disable pulse and use alsa?
[21:42] <nogo> Crazy_Dave: you should have it and a xim
[21:42] <erUSUL> crucialhoax: strace command 2> somefile
[21:42] <Crazy_Dave> nogo: the only thing is that When I hover over it, it tells me that I am connected. The icon cannot be duplicated in the bottom panel and there is no other icon that shows I am connected without having to open a windows on my desktop
[21:43] <VCoolio> kla: meh, I'm just guessing here; give it a shot; I don't know, I'll leave you to the mercy of the channel
[21:43] <llutz> crucialhoax: strace -o file
[21:43] <kla> VCoolio, I will. Very much appreciated :)
[21:45] <Eimhin> Can anyone give me advice on how to get a PS3 controller working with a laptop running Ubuntu?
[21:45] <crucialhoax> thanks erUSUL and llutz  :) Im going to pastebin that file when Im done
[21:46] <erUSUL> !joystick
[21:46] <kallisti5> ruh-oh... found a bug in the RC.   USB headphones don't work.
[21:47] <erUSUL> kallisti5: /join #ubuntu+1
[21:47] <crucialhoax> I opened preferences and it turned the banshee window gray.. degh
[21:48] <ThonEney> how can i mount my other 2 partitions at boot?
[21:48] <llutz> ThonEney: add them to /etc/fstab
[21:48] <sometux_> does anyone know about a free ssl vpn service?
[21:49] <xiven> I don't suppose anyone would know how to get Ubuntu to utilitize Windows' internet without actually being in Windows?
[21:49] <xiven> Since Ubuntu is technically installed within Windows..I was hoping that may be possible.
[21:49] <ThonEney> how exactly do i put in the ids in fstab?
[21:50] <elitecoder> How do I upgrade 9.10 to 10?
[21:50] <llutz> ThonEney: UUID=<uuid of your partition you'll get with blkid> /mount/point <filesystem>  some,options 0 0
[21:50] <elitecoder> I tried this: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade
[21:50] <elitecoder> It says it's up to date, but I checked /etc/issue and it says 9.10
[21:51] <nogo> sometux_: free ssl vpn = let somebody get in your house and eat your foods in the fridge freely. no filters anymore
[21:52] <xiven> Good grief! I can't get stuff to setup on Cygwin, and Ubuntu cannot get internet.
[21:52] <elitecoder> Nm I did it wrong
[21:52] <Crazy_Dave> nogo: situation solved. All I had to do was add an information area to the lower panel and the icon appeared
[21:53] <ThonEney> the whole uuid thing is unclear, blkid?
[21:53] <ben_q> why are my cards not using gbit, they only settle for 100Mb/s, how can I change that?
[21:53] <ThonEney> nvm found it
[21:53] <nogo> ben_q: what's your ifconfig -a says?
[21:53] <erUSUL> !uuid > ThonEney
[21:54] <ben_q> nogo, what exactly do you mean?
[21:55] <nogo> ben_q: sorry, you have a 'gnome-network' in your menu
[21:55] <ben_q> when I plug in the cable between the two computers, ethtool shows that they settle for "100Mb/s FULL"
[21:55] <xbonesx> how do you set these? http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter?page=1
[21:55] <ben_q> ifconfig shows a lot, I wanted to know what piece of information you mean ;) I can't paste it all here, nogo
[21:56] <nogo> ben_q: how much packet lose do you get?
[21:56] <alaing> how do i change the owner of /vars/www from root to simply_stupid_user
[21:56] <glaucous> When booting (without quiet and splash flags) I see that I get stuck at "warning: maximal mount count reached..". Ubuntu 10.04 x64
[21:57] <ben_q> nogo, shall I run ping on the 100Mb/s connection?
[21:57] <ThonEney> how do i edit fstab thru console? sudo gedit /location brings up a blank fstab (needs root acces)
[21:57] <agentgasmask> alaing: sudo chown simply_stupid_user:simply_stupid_user /var/www
[21:57] <nogo> ben_q: the gnome-network can show you this
[21:57] <xbonesx> ben_q: you ubuntupastebin, google it
[21:58] <nogo> ben_q: it has a historical record
[21:58] <xbonesx> use*
[21:58] <agentgasmask> alaing: checkout: man chown
[21:58] <alaing> agentgasmask: is the second bit after : the password?
[21:59] <ben_q> nogo, sorry I'm not sure where to look for a packet loss history
[21:59] <Dulak> alaing: that's the group you are changing ownership to
[21:59] <agentgasmask> alaing: the second bit is for changing the group at the same time. you can leave it out if you want to keep the group as root
[22:00] <tris2k> anyone tried eclipse rap for web dev
[22:00] <alaing> thanks
[22:00] <agentgasmask> alaing: You can only change the owner of a directory/file you own, unless you do it as root.
[22:00] <alaing> sudo?
[22:01] <nogo> ben_q: i have to tell you this. the default ubuntu 10.04 installation is unusable without tweaks
[22:01] <agentgasmask> alaing: right, sudo will give you root access.
[22:01] <alaing> chown: cannot access `/vars/www': No such file or directory
[22:02] <alaing> oops typo var not vars
[22:02] <nogo> ben_q: you may get network and sound and high cpu usage issues
[22:02] <agentgasmask> alaing: I think you want /var/www not /vars/www
[22:02] <agentgasmask> alaing: oh, just saw your next post

[22:05] <KimJongIl> im having problems with a wireless card on another laptop, can anyone help please?
[22:05] <nogo> ben_q: is the cable made by yourself?
[22:05] <KimJongIl> i found a page that tells me to download ndiswrapper, but that doesnt seem to exist anymore
[22:05] <oscar4081> PMantis: restart X or run the the xsetup script
[22:06] <nogo> ben_q: make sure that every pin is connected
[22:06] <KimJongIl> its a broadcom bcm4318 wireless card
[22:06] <nogo> ben_q: ALL pins

[22:06] <st__> if you understand russian, try ALT Linux for better results
[22:06] <ben_q> nogo, it's an old cable and yes, the plugs were added by me to the cable
[22:06] <st__> does hostname <new name> effect persists?
[22:06] <PMantis> oscar4081, I really don't want to restart X, since I'll lose the documents I was editing. I'll try xsetup
[22:06] <oscar4081> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[22:07] <nogo> ben_q: some brain-dead cables saved some pins
[22:07] <oscar4081> will make it the defaults
[22:07] <ben_q> nogo, can I use a tool to check if the pins work?
[22:07] <CkhiKuzad> I created a shell script to move all of the files in a selected directory to the current one, but whenever i try to run it on my test directory it fails: http://pastebin.com/JifBFuDJ

[22:25] <omani> ok
[22:25] <KimJongIl> let me try something...
[22:26] <Rohanc> I'm getting black screens pretty often with 10.04 x64
[22:26] <KimJongIl> gonna try "sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source"
[22:26]  * nogo am happy with s5
[22:27] <jappiecr> My profile mananager won;t import profiles anymore. I had it working, made some changes, deleted some accounts, made ne accounts. Did the whole process of making profiles and they are saved under /etc/sabayon/profiles but when I import them, it will open the file, ask me for profile name and when I press enter nothing happens. No even error message! anybody ideas?
[22:27] <nogo> Rohanc: i don't get that black anymore even i am benchmarking
[22:27] <darkdelusions> KimJongIl: Frist thinks first you need to locate the driver for it (do a search on the web you should beable to find a zipped of driver with an INF file and extract it
[22:27] <darkdelusions> to a folder
[22:28] <darkdelusions> wow I cant type today
[22:28] <Dice-Man> wc ?
[22:28] <KimJongIl> the windows driver?
[22:28] <Rohanc> nogo: what I meant black screen is I can't get my display to show but the process is still running
[22:28] <wabash> dajhorn: You around?
[22:28] <StaffanE> is there a easy way to upgrade directly from 9.10 to 10.10rc server?
[22:29] <jrib> !upgrade > StaffanE
[22:29] <nogo> Rohanc: i know what you are saying
[22:29] <Andorin> So the left side of my screen extends past the edge of my monitor by a few pixels... I'm on 10.04, 64-bit, 1440x900 resolution. Anyone know why it's doing this?
[22:29] <ChrisBuchholz> I have three users on my apache server - root and two others. I can easily ssh to the server as root, but not as the  other two users. They do have access to /bin/bash in /etc/passwd. When i try, it asks for password and when i press  return, it just does a black line and the caret just blinks forever. No timeout or anything. What can be up? I'm on  apache2 and ubuntu 10.04 server, btw
[22:29] <nogo> Rohanc: it's a 3d effect
[22:29] <nogo> s/a/an
[22:29] <KimJongIl> WOOHOO!
[22:29] <KimJongIl> done it
[22:29] <Rohanc> nogo: actually I've installed ubuntu after windows 7 using wubi installer
[22:30] <ben_q> bobstro, nogo, I tried with a gbit-switch now, same cable as before, now both cards run at 1000Mb/s :D
[22:30] <ben_q> thank you a lot
[22:30] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: you gave root a password?
[22:30] <Rohanc> nogo: so do u have any suggestions for me?
[22:30] <nogo> Rohanc: no
[22:30] <KimJongIl> The command "sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source" worked
[22:30] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: yes, root hasa password
[22:30] <dPix> Im tryint to create a chat with netcat (inverse shell), using port XXXX opened in router and trying "nc -l -p XXXX" but will not work, HELP??
[22:30] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: you gave root a password?
[22:30] <nogo> Rohanc: i don't use wubi
[22:30] <preecher> is there a command i can enter to disable pulse and just use alsa?
[22:30] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: yes
[22:31] <nogo> preecher: just point your vlc or mplayer to alsa
[22:31] <darkdelusions> KimJongIl:  awesome :) all of my cards have been intel (my laptop) so I have been lucky enough not to have to deal with broadcom :)
[22:31] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: what happens when you login as the user locally?
[22:31] <Izoel> isBack
[22:31] <Rohanc> nogo: but I can't even google search, what's problem exactly called? if I search for black screen, it shows me results of total black screen while installing ubuntu
[22:31] <nogo> Rohanc: you can try to install it onto a cheap usbkey like me
[22:32] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: like, su username?
[22:32] <Rohanc> nogo: ok, how do I accomplish that? can I do it with windows 7?
[22:33] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: I guess that would be informative too but I meant logging in at the server itself, not with ssh
[22:33] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: oh, i cant. Its in a datacenter somewhere in london :P
[22:33] <emperium> hello ppl
[22:33] <nogo> Rohanc: burn a iso with windows then boot it off then install onto the usbkey
[22:33] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: erm, but at some point you logged in as a user right?
[22:33] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: but when i log in via su username, it doesn't prompt for password - its just switched
[22:34] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: only as root yes
[22:34] <ChrisBuchholz> via ssh
[22:34] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: root doesn't have a password by default on ubuntu
[22:34] <bobstro> ben_q:  i think the switch does some of the autonegotiation steps that 2 nics wouldn't
[22:34] <ChrisBuchholz> no, but linode.com created one for me :)
[22:34] <nogo> Rohanc: by this way, you can remove ubuntu completely in any time
[22:34] <Rohanc> nogo: u mean burn an iso into a cd and then boot it off and install on usb?
[22:34] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: what other modifications did they make?
[22:34] <emperium> can anyone tell me if it's possible to upgrade 10.04 to 10.10 under wubi using update-manager -d ?
[22:34] <jrib> !10.10 | emperium
[22:34] <glaucous> Is there a way to force apt-get to recreate its folders inside /var/cache? I tried mounting it on tmpfs, which didn't go too well (/var/cache/apt/archives worked better).
[22:35] <Rohanc> nogo: sorry, I couldn't get what did u say
[22:35] <ben_q> yes, bobstro, if forcing doesn't work then I have to use a switch
[22:35] <nogo> Rohanc: just a suggestion
[22:35] <dajhorn> wabash: I'm back.
[22:35] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: other than deploying the ubuntu 10.04 server image and then setting up a password for root, on my request, they did nothing
[22:35] <ChrisBuchholz> then i just ssh'ed
[22:35] <ben_q> bobstro, it's only necessary for bigger files anyway
[22:35] <wabash> dajhorn: Hey, thanks for all yoru help earlier.
[22:35] <dajhorn> wabash: Welcome.  Did it work?
[22:35] <wabash> dajhorn: I was concerned because it was an old flash drive. but I found out what the problem was.
[22:35] <Rohanc> nogo: ok, how did u avoid black screens?
[22:36] <wabash> I have PAE kernel, and these kernels recently stopped recognizing drives.
[22:36] <wabash> So on the non-pae kernel, things work.
[22:36] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: does ssh work ok for the users if you use ssh keys?
[22:36] <dajhorn> wabash: Good catch.
[22:36] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: also, try with ssh -vvv
[22:36] <wabash> With PAE, if I do lsusb, it picksup the device, and adds a /dev/ entry
[22:36] <wabash> Then I have to mount manually.
[22:36] <wabash> dajhorn: thanks!
[22:36] <wabash> dajhorn: It's still not as nice, becaues now I have to go look at mount options to see what I need
[22:37] <nogo> Rohanc: i don't really know. nothing can stop me every time. i am lucky
[22:37] <wabash> The plugdev or whatever it was set everything up correctly.
[22:37] <wabash> dajhorn: Anyhow, thank you for stepping me through stuff earlier.
[22:37] <dajhorn> wabash: That kind of bug will cause a lot of complaining at Launchpad.   They'll probably fix it soon.
[22:37] <wabash> Yes, it's on there already. But what is launchpad?
[22:38] <dajhorn> wabash: Launchpad is where people go to bitch about Ubuntu.  ;)
[22:38] <Emtsuj> Thought that was facepunch.
[22:38] <Emtsuj> XD
[22:38] <Rohanc> nogo: wow u are really lucky with that.. I'm so frustrated with it now.. u know i'm just 1 day user of ubuntu, i'm loving it already.. it's fast and beautiful.. except for the fact that it gives me black screens now and then
[22:38] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: i do use ssh key all the time
[22:39] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: but you said it prompts for password...
[22:39] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: and ssh -vvv: it just hangs at debug2: shell request accepted on channel 0
[22:39] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: hmm
[22:39] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: can you pastebin the full thing?
[22:39] <ChrisBuchholz> i thought i used ssh-keys then :D
[22:39] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: are user homes encrypted?
[22:40] <dajhorn> wabash: This could be your bug.  It is tagged as a PAE regression.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/626753
[22:41] <wabash> dajhorn: Yes, looks like it!
[22:41] <wabash> dajhorn: So, I think a lot of ppl will be unhappy about this. What kind of turnaround is typical?
[22:42] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: no they are not. http://pastebin.com/k058iWm7
[22:42] <dajhorn> wabash: The generic kernel is installed by default, and I don't see any obvious duplicates, so probably a few weeks.   This bug may be forgotten because Maverick will release soon and most people will upgrade.
[22:43] <wabash> dajhorn: I don't follow then. Will Maverick not have this problem?
[22:43] <ChristineV> I have a question. I'm trying to install onto a netbook, and I had a solid install going, then tried to install another distro over it. The first one said it was rewriting the whole HD, but I keep getting bootmgr errors now (which is a windows thing) and can't boot from a USB or anything. is my only option to go and get an external CD drive to run fixboot in Windows? :(
[22:43] <dajhorn> wabash: Dunno.  If you try Maverick on this hardware, then try to post a comment on that bug.
[22:44] <wabash> Cool, I'll do it when Mav comes out.
[22:44] <dajhorn> wabash: Maverick becomes a Release Candidate today, so it is unlikely that anything significant will change between now and release on October 10th.
[22:45] <jrib> ChristineV: and if you type stuff it doesn't appear on the screen?
[22:45] <ChristineV> yeah
[22:45] <jrib> erm
[22:45] <rww> Considering that last release cycle, a major bug that broke dual boots got fixed after RC, that's not really true.
[22:45] <ChristineV> I was under the impression windows was completely gone, so I don't know why it's coming up
[22:45] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: and if you type stuff it doesn't appear on the screen?
[22:45] <rww> there's a release process for a reason, let it happen :(
[22:45] <ChristineV> was that meant to be for me? >_>
[22:45] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: it does appear on the screen
[22:45] <ChristineV> aw :(
[22:46] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: and "ls", enter does nothing?
[22:46] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: yeah, just goes to next line
[22:46] <st__> and memory leak in xorg too, lol
[22:46] <wabash> I would like to change my default boot OS, using grub 2. I miss menu.lst, it was so easy!
[22:46] <wabash> How do I change boot  defaults in grub2?
[22:47] <st__> wabash, rename desired OS template so it was coming first
[22:47] <wabash> st__: Can you elaborate?
[22:47] <jrib> ChrisBuchholz: weird.  See if changing the shell affects what happens.  "debug2: shell request accepted on channel 0" is the last thing I see on a successful ssh
[22:47] <wabash> What is the template?
[22:47] <omani> nogo, ok got it. the user was not in the "audio" group :D
[22:47] <st__> wabash, OS prober scripts in /etc/grub.d
[22:47] <omani> thx though
[22:48] <wabash> st__: Ok, with you so far.
[22:48] <wabash> Right,
[22:48] <wabash>  but what do I do to them?
[22:48] <ChrisBuchholz> jrib: thats odd
[22:48] <ChrisBuchholz> hmm, well, okay, thanks for the help. I need to grab dinner now!
[22:48] <st__> wabash, rename so they had proper order
[22:49] <docsy> if something never installed correctly, whats the command to remove the attempt?
[22:49] <xcyclist> Sorry.  I was called away.  Is there a way to get my network cfg icon back on my top bar?
[22:49] <xcyclist> I don't see it in the options menu.
[22:49] <jrib> !away > Liammm|AFK
[22:49] <wabash> st__: Thanks, but I don't think that helps. I've got 3 linux kernels, won't they all be grouped unter one script?
[22:49] <sabayonweb_97591> so would I
[22:49] <hdgc> finally solved my problem with the bug libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Device or resource busy
[22:50] <hdgc> the problem was caused by CamServer
[22:50] <st__> wabash, then you need to look inside them and change how they are ordered
[22:50] <cryptk|work> ok, I have a question for you guys
[22:50] <cryptk|work> I have a persistent live CD
[22:50] <cryptk|work> I cannot get the screen lock to work
[22:50] <st__> like 10-linux or seomething
[22:50] <xcyclist> I cannot even get on any of my normal wireless areas anymore, and my pidgeon blue dot disappeared too.
[22:50] <cryptk|work> I know why, the RUNNING_UNDER_GDM env variable
[22:50] <wabash> st__: Are you saying that the 10_linux script has entries for all linux kernels?
[22:50] <cryptk|work> but I cannot find where that is being set at bootup
[22:51] <sabayonweb_97591> why is it the images on web pages dont display as well in ubuntu as opsed in windoes once you zoom in ?
[22:51] <cryptk|work> does anyone have any idea what would be setting tha env variable?
[22:51] <st__> wabash, it looks for linux kernels on your machine, and put them in list in some order
[22:52] <wabash> st__: Correct. And what I'd like to do is rearrange that order.
[22:52] <st__> sabayonweb_97591, different browser?
[22:52] <st__> wabash, or maybe there's default index oprion in /etc/defaults/grub?
[22:53] <sabayonweb_97591> firefox
[22:53] <sabayonweb_97591> but its the same with other linux browsers
[22:53] <wabash> st__: Yeah, reading that file now. I can set default pretty easily by filename.
[22:53] <wabash> st__: But no order listing,
[22:53] <st__> then customize that awful script
[22:54] <sabayonweb_97591> damn my house is bugged
[22:55] <Ekips> Heya, is /bin/ed part of the default ubuntu 10.04.1 server installation?
[22:55] <flashkidd> how can i downgrade transmission to 1.93?
[22:55] <jrib> Ekips: should be...
[22:55] <Roasted> anybody know how to get frostwire 64 bit on ubuntu 64 bit? I used to just go to the web site but now its barking at me
[22:55] <donpdonp> when i leave current workspace, then come back to the same workspace, the window focus is lost. it used to work but mysteriously broke. any ideas?
[22:55] <sabayonweb_97591> who would do such thing ?
[22:55] <jrib> Roasted: define "barking"
[22:55] <Roasted> jrib, wrong architecture error
[22:55] <jrib> Roasted: what exactly did you download?
[22:56] <Roasted> frostwire from the web site. i586 deb.
[22:56] <st__> i586!=amd64
[22:56] <flashkidd> how can I install version 1.93 of transmissionbt?
[22:56] <Roasted> if 586 = 64 bit, why is mine bombing out?
[22:57] <nuestra> 586 is 32 bit
[22:57] <dajhorn> Roasted:  != means "not equal" or "different"
[22:57] <sabayonweb_97591> roasted is a poser
[22:57] <st__> i586<>amd64
[22:57] <ikonia> Roasted: it doesn't
[22:57] <aeon-ltd> i586?
[22:57] <Roasted> oh
[22:57] <Roasted> okay, so how can I get frostwire installed?
[22:57] <aeon-ltd> as the name implies x86 is 32bit x64 is 64bit
[22:57] <ikonia> Roasted: x86 is 32bit, x64 x86_64=64bit
[22:57] <aeon-ltd> ikonia: lol
[22:57] <ikonia> !info frostwire
[22:58] <ikonia> I thought there was a frostwire package
[22:58] <Blue1> Roasted: try this    if grep -q ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo; then echo "is 64 bits"; else "No luck  "; fi
[22:58] <Roasted> ikonia, theres a deb for it, but its not in a repo or anything - its a direct DL from their site.
[22:58] <Roasted> is 64 bits
[22:58] <Roasted> jason@Area51:~$
[22:58] <Blue1> Roasted: eggsalad!
[22:59] <Blue1> Roasted: do a   uname -a and post results here.
[22:59] <jrib> Roasted: the package they have there says it's for i386
[22:59] <Roasted> Linux Area51 2.6.32-24-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 14:58:24 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[22:59] <Roasted> jrib, I had frostwire on 10.04 64 bit. I got a new hard drive, reinstalled ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, and it wont work now.
[22:59] <ikonia> Roasted: ok, so your running 64bit
[22:59] <Roasted> It WORKED before. I am absolutely positive of it.
[22:59] <jrib> Roasted: they may have changed the package
[22:59] <st__> i[3456]86 architecture has no 64-bit mode
[22:59] <ikonia> Roasted: so the 64bit deb should work if it's dependencies are compatible
[23:00] <Roasted> ikonia, but why is it when I click DL I get 586?
[23:00] <Roasted> I dont see a 64 bit option. theres only 1 optionf or ubuntu.
[23:01] <ikonia> Roasted: there is only a 32bit version - it's not compatible
[23:01] <nuestra> could frostwire run in a 32-bit chroot?
[23:01] <Blue1> Roasted: you can force install a 32 bit app, but not recommend.
[23:01] <Roasted> ikonia, I had frostwire with 64 bit just days ago. I'm absolutely positive of it.
[23:01] <Roasted> I still have that install on my old hard drive.
[23:01] <sabayonweb_97591> roested easy just download the sorce and compile it
[23:01] <jrib> since frostwire is a java app, I imagine this is some sort of packaging mistake.  That's only a guess though
[23:01] <ikonia> Roasted: not from the official site you didn't, unless they changed/pulled it
[23:02] <Roasted> ikonia, yes, from the official site.
[23:02] <jrib> Roasted: well you could probably use the deb you have on your old install then
[23:02] <Roasted> virtualbox, skype, an d frostwire are the 3 things I use not in the repos. I go to the site, download the deb, and bingo bango.
[23:02] <ikonia> Roasted: not anymore, they don't offer a 64bit package
[23:02] <tgywa> Hello ... Hello ... can any one suggest me a good resource to read ... in configuring Postfix to work with CyrusSasl?
[23:02] <Roasted> never had an issue before, and I've ran 64 bit for the last 2 years.
[23:02] <Roasted> that's great - I'm just trying to stress that it *was* working before.
[23:02] <ikonia> tgywa: the ubuntu wiki and forums are a good place to start
[23:02] <Roasted> this feels like 2008 when I first began fighting with this
[23:03] <ikonia> Roasted: and I'm just trying to stress to you that it's no longer going to work, so it doesn't matter that it "did" work
[23:04] <sabayonweb_97591> is 64 bits is the por child of software
[23:04] <ikonia> sabayonweb_97591: what ?
[23:04] <Rotham> whats the diff between regular ubuntu and ubuntu server?
[23:04] <adac> Wonderiing is there any possibility besides vnc, so that i can view the terminal of a remote user and what he does input in that terminal?
[23:04] <jrib> Rotham: different kernel, no X
[23:04] <Rotham> whats X?
[23:04] <jrib> Rotham: gui
[23:04] <Roasted> GUI
[23:04] <ikonia> Roasted: one is aimed at enterprise server hardware with a minimal base install for server services, the other is a desktop, that also makes a good server
[23:05] <Roasted> tab fail :P
[23:05] <Rotham> ahh k
[23:05] <ikonia> Roasted: totally
[23:05] <donpdonp> adac: vnc is the only one i know of
[23:06] <sabayonweb_97591> why is it that you have amd 64 distros but noe intel 64 distros ?
[23:06] <st__> OT: why linux-image-virtual has no AC97 driver?
[23:06] <tgywa> ikonia, thanks
[23:06] <ikonia> st__: if it's offtopic, why are you asking
[23:06] <Andorin> So the left side of my screen extends past the edge of my monitor by a few pixels... I'm on 10.04, 64-bit, 1440x900 resolution. Anyone know why it's doing this?
[23:06] <Random832> how the heck did i end up in #ubuntu-unregged in the first place? i identify on connect
[23:06] <rww> sabayonweb_97591: Intel x86_84 is the same as AMD64.
[23:06] <jrib> sabayonweb_97591: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64
[23:07] <andre_pl> Random832: same happened to me
[23:07] <sabayonweb_97591> does 64 bits linux work better on AMD ?
[23:07] <andre_pl> maybe something broken
[23:07] <ikonia> sabayonweb_97591: no
[23:07] <rww> Random832: because your client doesn't wait long enough after autoidentifying before autojoining channels.
[23:07] <st__> sabayonweb_97591, they have same instruction set
[23:07] <Random832> rww: i autoidentify with the server password, no wait should be necessary
[23:07] <jrib> Random832: nickserv is slower than your client
[23:07] <rww> Random832: well, it is. Yay freenode.
[23:07] <st__> is it normal for processor to be in system calls 60% of time?
[23:08] <sabayonweb_97591> 64bits is just like ipv6 its never going to happen
[23:08] <Random832> do people get forwarded to -unregged for other reasons [i.e. if the channel has a joinflood limit or something]?
[23:08]  * jrib adds to quotes
[23:08] <Scunizi> Anyone know of a semi decent pdf markup package outside of PDFEdit which is (probably very capable) but horribly archaic in design
[23:09] <st__> it's ~3% in usermode, 60% in system calls and 40% idle, are those numbers OK?
[23:09] <ikonia> sabayonweb_97591: please don't talk nonsense
[23:09] <Blue1> Scunizi: if you find one, let us know.
[23:09] <ikonia> sabayonweb_97591: 64bit is in production use and has been for many years
[23:09] <TeLe{K}> Scunizi: have you tried xournal?
[23:09] <Scunizi> Blue1: seems to be a lack there.. PDF Shuffle is decent for ripping out or merging pages/docs..
[23:09] <sabayonweb_97591> so is ipv6
[23:09] <st__> i was shocked to know I have 64 bit processor after 3 years
[23:10] <ikonia> st__: what's making the system calls, or at least the common ones
[23:10] <st__> ikonia, how am I to know it?
[23:10] <Scunizi> TeLe{K}: I had forgotten about that.. do the edits stick?
[23:10] <ikonia> st__: see what's eating the cpu with basic tools like top
[23:10] <tyme> Enter text here...hey
[23:10] <sabayonweb_97591> 64bits just uses more ram and even 64bits distros are bigger !
[23:10] <ikonia> st__: %60 in use at idle sounds off in a big way
[23:11] <x0rs_ha> Anyone know why sometimes in Ubuntu (or linux in general) I will boot up and something will be wrong with my system, like my wireless network card won't work or none of my windows will have borders and then after I reboot, the problem is fixed... Anyone else have that issue?
[23:11] <churl> what packages do I need to apt-get to make an ubuntu install into UNE?
[23:11] <rww> churl: ubuntu-netbook, I think
[23:11] <tyme> i'm not getting any sound online
[23:12] <Braber01> is it worth learning the TCshell? I'm more familer with the Born Again Shell however the TCShell has a syntax I'm more familer with.
[23:12] <iooner> I eat an apple !
[23:12] <tyme> anyone?
[23:12] <st__> it's 40% audacity2 and 10% Xorg...
[23:12] <iooner> I eat an apple !
[23:12] <churl> rww: there's also ubuntu-netbook-remix and their about the same size if not the same
[23:12] <rww> churl: ubuntu-netbook-remix is a transition package to ubuntu-netbook, if I recall correctly.
[23:12] <ikonia> st__: %10 xorg can happen, %40 audacity sounds high, but at the same tim it can be a busy app
[23:13] <churl> rww: meaning I dont need to bother with that one? :)
[23:13] <tyme> pls???
[23:13] <rww> churl: correct, just use ubuntu-netbook
[23:13] <churl> rww: thanks! and dog bless
[23:13] <tyme> i'm a linux newbie
[23:13] <rww> churl: "transitional" means we used to use ubuntu-netbook-remix, but it got changed, and the old package is still around to point people to the new one.
[23:14] <tyme> pls pls pls pls pls
[23:14] <ikonia> tyme: calm down please
[23:14] <ikonia> tyme: if someone knows the answer, they will help when they can
[23:14] <tyme> uhm thank u, thank u, thank u?
[23:15] <TeLe{K}> tyme: whats your problem?
[23:15] <tyme> no sound in flash videos
[23:15] <Scott__2> hi all. i'm trying to install ubuntu desktop amd64. i've got an ati radeon 5770 and everytime i load the installer, from usb or cd, 10.10 or 10.04.1, i just get a black screen after it's finished booting which i guess is a display issue. any ideas? i've done a search and found a few people with similar probs with 5770 but can't find any solutions
[23:16] <st__> Scott__2, disable KMS?
[23:16] <Braber01> um is it worth learning the TCShell? it has a syntax I'm more familer with however I'm confortable with the Born Again Shell
[23:16] <Psycho> does anyone feel like hleping a noob with ktorrent?
[23:17] <TeLe{K}> tyme: do you use 64?
[23:17] <mattgyver> Braber01, I would suggest bash unless there are specific features you require in tsch, especially if your familiar with it
[23:17] <tyme> yup @Tle
[23:17] <naerey> what does $linux/wirless/.. mean as a path? the $ = ?
[23:17] <Braber01> mattgyver: thanks :)
[23:17] <Gadgetwizard> i need some help
[23:18] <Gadgetwizard> im running ubuntu on an old ibook
[23:18] <Scott__2> st__, thx - how would i do that?
[23:18] <TeLe{K}> tyme: im not familiar with that, sorry i think its because of the new flashplugin
[23:18] <st__> Scott__2, no idea actually
[23:18] <tyme> k, thanks anywyz
[23:19] <tyme> it worked once, then idk wat happened
[23:19] <bangie1> gadgetwizard, why dont you continue?
[23:19] <mattgyver> Scott__2, you could probably try booting with the no acpi boot option by pressing f6 at the 'try ubuntu' screen
[23:19] <Psycho> grr everytime i try to dl a torrent it just says "stalled
[23:20] <Scott__2> mattgyver, ahhh f6, thanks, that's all i needed, couldn't work that out - cheers, will give it a shot
[23:20] <KGF2009> Can anyone suggest how one would turn an MKV file into an H.264 MP4?
[23:20] <Scott__2> brb
[23:20] <drbutt> Psycho, with transmission?
[23:20] <mattgyver> Scott__2, to disable KMS as st__ suggested thats actually a boot option as well, use 'nomodeset'
[23:20] <ikonia> KGF2009: mencoder ?
[23:20] <aquarat> ffmpeg
[23:20] <Psycho> im using ktorrent
[23:20] <aquarat> ffmpeg, but you'd need to compile it yourself?
[23:20] <Psycho> if thats what you mean drbutt
[23:21] <drbutt> yeah
[23:21] <KGF2009> ikonia, how would I use mencoder?
[23:21] <ikonia> aquarat: why would he need to compile it ?
[23:21] <aquarat> because ubuntu's ffmpeg is crippled due to licensing issues
[23:21] <ikonia> KGF2009: it's got a pretty big feature option set, check the web page for all the options
[23:21] <drbutt> i got mine to stop stalling when I used "recommended settings" or something
[23:21] <ikonia> aquarat: in what way ?
[23:21] <Psycho> yeah i just had the ip reset
[23:21] <aquarat> ubuntu's ffmpeg (and VLC) will not output H264 or AAC
[23:22] <aquarat> there are probably other formats that it won't do but those are the ones I've noticed
[23:22] <ikonia> aquarat: I'll have to look at that, I didn't know
[23:22] <Psycho> i remember this happend once before but i cant remember where or how i fixed it
[23:22] <aquarat> besides...
[23:22] <aquarat> it's easy to compile ffmpeg
[23:22] <aquarat> very nice guide on the forums on it

[23:23] <fede> Hi
[23:23] <st__> is there some simple utility to choose timezone and tell whether clock are using local time?
[23:24] <fede> Is there a place where I can find out what free software proyects need colaborators
[23:24] <BlaDe^> Hi guys, I know this is a long shot.. but I have a remote for vista which controlled media player and stuff
[23:24] <fede> I like to help the comunity on the design aspect
[23:24] <BlaDe^> is there any chance I could get it working with rhythmbox somehow? if there's a lib which will aid me, I'm versed in a few languages to complete the rest
[23:24] <ikonia> fede: sourceforce
[23:25] <st__> *forge
[23:25] <warpool> is anyone here rocking backtrack?
[23:25] <s0l1dsnak3123> hey guys, i've done something hilariously stupid: I deleted the kernel package in synaptic, as well as the headers, then rebooted (ubuntu NBR) How can I re-install the kernel through a live USB?
[23:25]  * KGF2009 didn't even know we had a 10.10 already.
[23:25] <ikonia> warpool: not in this channel please
[23:25] <st__> gt.o with that hacker sruff
[23:25] <fede> thanks ikonia
[23:26] <ikonia> st__: be polite please.
[23:26] <donpdonp> KGF2009: crazy isnt it.
[23:26] <KGF2009> I feel like I just got used to Lynx.
[23:26] <aquarat> lol
[23:26] <aquarat> Lynx is great :)
[23:26] <BlaDe^> lynx broke my wifi :(
[23:27] <KGF2009> I'm sticking with it for a bit still.
[23:28] <Scunizi> Blue1: TeLe{K} xournal worked like a champ.. easy interface and export to PDF.. could use a little refinement but overall *MUCH* better than PDFEdit
[23:29] <s0l1dsnak3123> can anyone give me a handy hint on how to get this fixed?
[23:29] <DragonKeeper> how do i install a finger print scanner in 10.04
[23:30] <TeLe{K}> s0l1dsnak3123: i have done that, it isnt easy to recover, but posible, you have to boot with an usb an chroot to the installed system, then install the kernel and reboot
[23:30] <st__> ^ what he said
[23:31] <s0l1dsnak3123> TeLe{K}, I'm on usb, but the devices seem busy, and aren't showing up... how can i figure out why?
[23:31] <st__> s0l1dsnak3123, because you have open directories on them or have them mounted?
[23:31] <TeLe{K}> s0l1dsnak3123: what devices? can you be a little mor specific please?
[23:32] <s0l1dsnak3123> st__, TeLe{K}, apologies, I mean the harddrive's partition I want to chroot into, sda, appears to be "busy", yet umounting it says it's not mounted. It's not appearing in unity
[23:32] <BlaDe^> does ubuntu have infra-red drivers ?
[23:33] <ikonia> BlaDe^: yes
[23:33] <BlaDe^> how can I access the data? I have a media remote I want to get working with rhythmbox
[23:33] <TeLe{K}> s0l1dsnak3123: try to umount with -l   i thinks thats lazy umount, that would force to umount
[23:33] <ikonia> BlaDe^: research "lirc"
[23:33] <BlaDe^> ok thanks
[23:34] <s0l1dsnak3123> st__, TeLe{K}, umount: /dev/sda: not munted
[23:34] <s0l1dsnak3123> *mounted
[23:34] <s0l1dsnak3123> (with the -l flag)
[23:36] <ikonia> s0l1dsnak3123: you unmount a file system, not a device
[23:36] <ikonia> solarswordsman: eg: umount /mnt, not umount /dev/sda
[23:36] <TeLe{K}> s0l1dsnak3123: ok then, so you have to mount it and then mount /dev  /proc   /sys  and /boot  if it is on a different partition, there are a lot of tutorials out there showing how to chroot
[23:36] <s0l1dsnak3123> st__, TeLe{K}, >_>
[23:36] <s0l1dsnak3123> its late here, it's showing :P
[23:37] <s0l1dsnak3123> st__, TeLe{K}, ok i have it mounted, time to chroot :)
[23:39] <jon_> Hey everyone, I'm giving an old ubuntu laptop to a friend, and I was wondering if anyone knew a way to delete one's own username and add a fresh one, giving it sudo privileges and all
[23:39] <s0l1dsnak3123> st__, TeLe{K}, brb, i think i'll have it from here, thanks!! :)
[23:39] <TeLe{K}> s0l1dsnak3123: no prob, have a great day
[23:39] <st__> jon_, admins group or something like that defines who can use sudo by default
[23:39] <jrib> jon_: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups, create a new account, give him administrative rights, delete your old account (using the new account)
[23:40] <TeLe{K}> jon_: you have to add our new user to sudoers file
[23:40] <jon_> Cool, I'll give that a try, thanks
[23:42] <st__> can I delete sudo backdoor from my machine leaving gksu?
[23:42] <glaucous> Is there an application where I can log all read/writes on a partition to RAM, and then view them?
[23:44] <BlaDe^> ikonia:  lircd.org is dead --- i can't find any other documentation.
[23:45] <BlaDe^> I've installed it but not sure how to configure, nothing in terminal either (lircd doesn't have a --help)
[23:45] <BlaDe^> well, it does but nothing that helps much
[23:46] <TeLe{K}> BlaDe^: try to find a .conf on /etc   or maybe a hidden file on ~/.lirc  maybe
[23:47] <st__> BlaDe^, you can peruse source
[23:47] <TeLe{K}> BlaDe^: almost all the times the .conf file comes with a very specific explanation of how to configure each option
[23:47] <obrown> Hi everyone, I've set up a shared folder in my virtual box to use in windows XP but when I try to add it in win xp, it can not find share
[23:47] <BlaDe^> st__:  pursue? that'll be a huge amount of time spent.. Most of it will be interaction between different hardware
[23:48] <st__> obrown, never had such problem, are you sure you're on last version of additions
[23:48] <PCChris> Upgrading 9.04 to 9.10 hangs on terminal line "update-alternatives: using /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus to provide /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/zh_SG (xinput-zh_SG) in auto mode.
[23:48] <BlaDe^> TeLe{K}:  the conf is VERY bare
[23:48] <obrown> st__: I use virtualbox 3.2.8
[23:49] <obrown> st__: It says Oracle VM VirtualBox
[23:49] <TeLe{K}> BlaDe^: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LIRC   try this wiki
[23:50] <st__> had you installed all required drivers in XP when was installing additions?
[23:50] <HexLaTor> guys, if i download the ubuntu 10.10 RC version, i could update it to the final version later or not ?
[23:50] <thursday> setup up wireless 3g on my ubuntu desktop this morning. I can't access anything google.. thats odd.. is it just me?
[23:50] <st__> HexLaTor, it's auto
[23:50] <st__> HexLaTor, you may already have it as final version
[23:51] <HexLaTor> st__, i asked guys before, they say that i can't ..so i'm confused
[23:51] <PCChris> Upgrading 9.04 to 9.10 hangs on terminal line "update-alternatives: using /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus to provide /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/zh_SG (xinput-zh_SG) in auto mode.

[23:51] <st__> HexLaTor, now only new thing since RC is bugfixes... but they will be after official release too...
[23:51] <obrown> st__: When I installed win xp in the virtual box, I don't remember anything asking me to install additional driver, did I miss it ?
[23:52] <st__> obrown, after installing xp when you install additions it warns you about unsigned drivers
[23:52] <ron85> obrown: you ahve to mount the vbox driver cd
[23:52] <HexLaTor> st__, Ok buddy..thanks
[23:52] <Lenhix> Hi. I just used a 10.04 CD to try Ubuntu and it's asking me for user and password to log in. There is no clue about the user and/or password and ubuntu:ubuntu doesn't work. Neither blank credentials. Not a good point for Ubuntu
[23:52] <Lenhix> Does anyone know the credentials?
[23:53] <emanu> can I create a linux filesystem on a usb key and boot a portable linux installation on it?
[23:53] <ikonia> Lenhix: doesn't sound like it's an official ubuntu CD
[23:53] <Lenhix> It is, I downloaded it from ubuntu.com
[23:53] <obrown> st__ , ron85, can you tell me the steps I need to do please ?
[23:53] <ikonia> Lenhix: re-download it, check the md5sums
[23:53] <ikonia> Lenhix: it should do an auto login
[23:54] <Lenhix> I know, previous versions did
[23:54] <ikonia> maybe a bad download/burn , try it again and use a different mirror
[23:54] <ron85> I've got an i3 processor in one of my ubuntu 10.04 dev servers and its reading the temps wrong. sensors is showing the f as c and the system keeps giving me cpu is over threshold, yata yata yata. Make a long story short its says my cpu is 128.0c and my mb is 34c not only is that insane but my pc would of turned off at around 95c. Anyone run into this b4?

[23:55] <ikonia> ron85: no, log a bug against the sensors package your using
[23:55] <Lenhix> Well.. it's too lucky that I got a bad download/burn and still the CD works.. but well
[23:55] <Lenhix> Will download it again..
[23:55] <Lenhix> C u
[23:55] <ikonia> Lenhix: it can happen, if you check the forum this does happen sometimes
[23:55] <nogo> ron85: my cpu is 30c, it's too hot
[23:55] <nogo> s/30c/38c
[23:56] <ron85> obrown: open vm hit devices then its the last options, did you even looks. sry but its kinda obvious.
[23:56] <bivo> blakkheim am I completely boned now? data unrecoverable?
[23:56] <ron85> obrown: shortcut leftctrl+d then if autorun doesn't kick in
[23:56] <ron85> look in my computer right click cdrom and hit autorun
[23:56] <ron85> good luck
[23:56] <st__> obrown, open Devices menu and choose Install Gust Additions, then open CDROM :)
[23:57] <ron85> ron85: yeah my actual is around 58c or something, but my cpu is 128F, which is around midrange
[23:57] <TeLe{K}> bivo: no you are not, theres a way to mount your wubi partition, i think is something like when you mount an iso drive, google it
[23:57] <ron85> nogo: verbatum
[23:57] <ron85> nogo:CPU Temperature:  +128.0°C  (high = +60.0°C, crit = +95.0°C)
