[00:00] <john38> nerdy_kid,  open
[00:00] <john38> nerdy_kid, i got the propriertary but i dont know how to install it
[00:00] <raulegastelo2> what is the command line so i can find out info on x.conig or basic grafic card
[00:00] <john38> nerdy_kid, its a run
[00:00] <ZykoticK9> raulegastelo2, have you tried using the "Detect Displays" button on that same page  &&  what is the resolution set to on that monitor info page?
[00:00] <nerdy_kid> john38: ok, well I _think_ there is a version in the repos, one sec I will go check.
[00:00] <Nayr> raulegastelo2, look it up in google
[00:01] <wilhart> Naynay, options? eh where in options
[00:01] <ZykoticK9> raulegastelo2, the file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:01] <Nayr> wilhart, what os are you using?
[00:01] <wilhart> Nayr, ubuntu(k)
[00:01] <nerdy_kid> john38: it is a radon 9600xt?
[00:01] <morpheuspr> Does anyone here have ubuntu installed on a highend ATI graphics card. if so which drivers are you using ??
[00:01] <raulegastelo2>  /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Permission denied this is what i get
[00:02] <Nayr> wilhart, darn. lol I haven't used ubuntu in a couple years
[00:02] <ZykoticK9> raulegastelo2, if you want nvidia to generate a new one, simply copy your xorg.conf to a safe place, then run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and reboot to get nvidia's best attempt at figuring stuff out ;)
[00:02] <wilhart> nayr in kde
[00:02] <grid_> how will ubuntu automatically mount /media/Data when i start it up?
[00:02] <Nayr> wilhart, just look around
[00:02] <Nayr> wilhart, you'll find it
[00:02] <jimisrvrox> hey guys how can I enable X so that I can ssh into my Ubuntu machine?
[00:03] <wilhart> Naynay, hm
[00:03] <john38> nerdy_kid, when i try to run proprietary driver this is what happens Created directory fglrx-install.mPPMcD
[00:03] <john38> Verifying archive integrity... All good.

[00:04] <raulegastelo2> /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Permission denied .... once again this is what i get
[00:04] <morpheuspr> anyone here has a ATI HD5000 series ??
[00:04] <Sonic132> raulegastelo2: Did you do it with the magic words? Sudo?
[00:04] <Nayr> to solve all of your problems, just reboot!
[00:04] <jimisrvrox> ZykoticK9: ok but there has to be a way that I can get X-Windows over ssh
[00:04] <nerdy_kid> john38: ok, it is usually better to use the version in the repos, so open up a terminal and run sudo apt-get install fglrx-amd-cccle.
[00:05] <Nayr> it fixes anything :D
[00:05] <john38> nerdy_kid, coulnt find package
[00:05] <SpudDogg> Someone please help!  I'm installing Ubuntu, but for some reason the installer does not recognize my partition table.  I have a windows install on sda1, empty ext3 partitions on sda2 and sda3 and a swap on sda4.  Any idea why fdisk sees the table properly, but gparted and the ubuntu installer only see 1 big blank drive?
[00:06] <ZykoticK9> jimisrvrox, a buddy of mine sshed into his machine with X forwarding then started a local vnc connection.  doubt it was rocket fast.  good luck man.  X forwarding is pretty cool, if you're using linux/unix clients.
[00:06] <raulegastelo2> yes with tand with out the magic word
[00:06] <meatbun> i turned off update manager. it still pops out. how to fix it?
[00:06] <jimisrvrox> ZykoticK9: yeah Im using all Linux clients...
[00:06] <Sonic132> raulegastelo2: Do it again with sudo before it. Then login and maybe whatever your trying to do will work.
[00:06] <nerdy_kid> john38: "sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle" without quotes should work.
[00:06] <ZykoticK9> jimisrvrox, they just run the apps you need and not the whole interface...
[00:06] <ZykoticK9> s/they/then
[00:07] <raulegastelo2> Sonic, I did it with sudo and still it says permision denied
[00:07] <john38> nerdy_kid, it was without the quotes
[00:07] <Sonic132> raulegastelo2: Are you sure your user has permission? Are you set to Admin the System?
[00:07] <SpudDogg> Is anyone here a partition whiz?
[00:07] <nerdy_kid> john38: the package exists cause I tried it on a 10.04 machine, did you put the peroid in there by accedent?
[00:08] <ZykoticK9> !anyone > SpudDogg
[00:08] <john38> nerdy_kid, oh ok
[00:08] <raulegastelo2> yes, i am admin
[00:08] <john38> nerdy_kid, nope
[00:08] <Sonic132> raulegastelo2: Then no idea man. Keep asking around maybe someone else can help.
[00:08] <SpudDogg> ZykoticK9, thanks...

[00:09] <nerdy_kid> john38: its  fglrx-amdcccle not  fglrx-amd-cccle, that is what is wrong
[00:10] <SpudDogg> Someone please help!  I'm installing Ubuntu, but for some reason the installer does not recognize my partition table.  I have a windows install on sda1, empty ext3 partitions on sda2 and sda3 and a swap on sda4.

[00:10] <Nayr> SpudDogg, http://laughingsquid.com/wp-content/uploads/tech-support-cheat-sheet-20090824-085914.jpg if you have a problem, go here
[00:10] <john38> nerdy_kid, i guess i already had it
[00:10] <raulegastelo2> hay thanks for trying all... i will come back later to see if i can get help with this problem
[00:10] <jimisrvrox> ok ZykoticK9 are you good with SSH? because Ive got a pet project going and I could use some help.
[00:10] <john38> nerdy_kid, 0 installed 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
[00:10] <SpudDogg> uggh
[00:10] <Nayr> lol
[00:11] <SpudDogg> this channel used to actually be helpful
[00:11] <SpudDogg> guess those days are long gone...
[00:11] <nerdy_kid> john38: ok, run lsmod in a terminal and upload the output to paste.ubuntu.com and send me the url
[00:11] <Nayr> no
[00:11] <Nayr> theyre not
[00:11] <Nayr> im just being bored
[00:11] <ZykoticK9> jimisrvrox, i use ssh quite a bit - but i'm not familiar with the more advanced features - but ask the channel if you have a specific question ;)  SSH is fun.
[00:11] <john38> nerdy_kid, http://paste.ubuntu.com/524159/
[00:11] <honeypot> where should I find mysql.sock plz
[00:12] <SpudDogg> so far i've been told not to use "anyone" to start a question and sent to a ridiculous jpg.  this place is definitely not what it used to be
[00:13] <corrytonapple> Hello Guys. Is there a app for more features of Power Control?
[00:13] <LinTux> How do you use this paste bin then
[00:13] <Nayr> SpudDogg, try making the partition larger. it may just be to small
[00:13] <ZykoticK9> !attitude | SpudDogg
[00:13] <mgwalk> My server lost apache2 boot on reboot how can I fix this?
[00:14] <SpudDogg> Nayr: hey, thanks for the real response.  sda1 is 250GB, sda2 is 125GB, sda3 is 115GB and sda4 is like just under 10GB.
[00:14] <LinTux> Google Earth Error - Couldn't load 'setup.data/setup.xml', HELP
[00:14] <SpudDogg> Nayr, this problem is really bugging me
[00:14] <nerdy_kid> john38: ok, one more thing.  do "sudo apt-get install fglrx"  that _should_ be installed already, but I want to make sure
[00:14] <SpudDogg> ZykoticK9, again.  thanks for nothing.  i am a little on edge because of this problem i've never had before.  please just ignore me.
[00:14] <jimisrvrox> ZykoticK9: ok well like I said Ive got me a special project going..Ive got two boxes host A with PCLOS on it and thus far ive got it to where I can SSH into my headless Ubuntu machine, but Id like to be able to SSH into my ubuntu machine from another local machine on my net say my laptop problem being is at my other machines I cant ping the eth0 on my Ubuntu box
[00:15] <Nayr> SpudDogg, I really have no idea, im sorry :(
[00:15] <mgwalk> or how do I check what is loaded on boot?
[00:15] <john38> nerdy_kid, yeah it is
[00:15] <SpudDogg> Nayr, no prob.  thanks anyway
[00:15] <StFS> Hi, is there a way to list a package recommendations? I installed ubuntu-desktop but just realized that I didn't want to install all the recommended packages too so I'm going to uninstall them
[00:15] <Nayr> SpudDogg ill look it up and see if I can find a solution
[00:15] <SpudDogg> Nayr, meh, dont bother.  im looking around too
[00:15] <Agent001> Paranormal Activity 2 is the scariest movie ive ever watched on ubuntu
[00:15] <Nayr> SpudDogg, k. Good luck
[00:16] <nerdy_kid> john38: ok, now I hope you either have another pc around or know how to use recovery mode you might end up there.
[00:16] <ZykoticK9> jimisrvrox, when I ssh into my desktop I'm able to access the other machine's on my network?  I'm not sure why that would be an issue?
[00:16] <sebsebseb> !piracy > Agent001
[00:16] <nerdy_kid> john38: run "gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf"
[00:16] <jimisrvrox> ZykoticK9: well Im guessing maybe because my Ubuntu machine is on a different net...
[00:16] <john38> nerdy_kid, yeah i got another pc how do i use recovery mod
[00:16] <jimisrvrox> within my net but on a subnet
[00:17] <john38> nerdy_kid, in terminal?
[00:17] <john38> nerdy_kid, now?
[00:17] <bruteforce_allti> If, i run a script and somewhere in between it contains "sudo rm -rf /", then i am doomed. Right/
[00:17] <bruteforce_allti> ?
[00:17] <nerdy_kid> john38: well you might not end up there, but I will explain later.  yeah, that will just open a text editor ;)
[00:17] <corrytonapple> Anyone? Is there a app for more features of Power Control?
[00:17] <jimisrvrox> ZykoticK9: I think what im missing is the ability to be able to access the net from my ubuntu box via wlan0 on my PCLOS box
[00:17] <john38> nerdy_kid, ok
[00:17] <sebsebseb> !danger | bruteforce_allti
[00:18] <bruteforce_allti> sorry.
[00:18] <LjL> sebsebseb: he was offtopic, but why do you assume if one uses ubuntu to watch a movie, it must be pirated? :(
[00:18] <john38> nerdy_kid, ?
[00:18] <ZykoticK9> jimisrvrox, that's more a routing issue i think - and i'm certainly not familiar enough with your network setup to make suggestions on that!  but ya, until you can figure out the ping connection failure, i doubt ssh will work.  best of luck man.
[00:18] <shcherbak> bruteforce_allti: only if you run script as superuser or via sudo
[00:18] <sebsebseb> LjL: well that movie is  out in the cinema here, not out on DVD yet, and probably counteries like USA as well
[00:19] <nerdy_kid> john38: now you need to make sure that "blacklist fglrx" is not in the file, and you need to add "blacklist radeon"  to the end of the file.  Then save it.
[00:19] <maco> shcherbak: well the command includes sudo so if ze enters hir password when it asks, thatd do it too
[00:19] <LjL> sebsebseb: oh... i see
[00:19] <shcherbak> bruteforce_allti: normally you do not run scripts with sudo
[00:19] <shcherbak> maco: you right
[00:20] <john38> nerdy_kid, blacklist fglrx is not there
[00:21] <jimisrvrox> ZykoticK9: ok well setup is host A on PCLOS with wlan0 net connection and eth0 connected to Ubuntu eth0 via Xovr cable. Can ssh from pclos to ubuntu but do not have a net connection on ubuntu and I figure could be because there might not be ip_forwarding to the ubuntu box therefore cannot ping from other machines
[00:21] <john38> nerdy_kid, i just typed blacklist radeon to the end of file
[00:21] <inductiveload> hello! this is a trival question, but i'd like to be able to change the icon a program (xscreensaver) uses in the alt-tab switcher and in the title bar of the window. I've recompiled the program with new icons, and it's working in other places and the icon in /usr/share/pixmaps/ has been changed, but it's still not changing in the taskbar, titlebar and alt-tab window. anyone got any ideas?
[00:21] <ZykoticK9> jimisrvrox, sorry man - i have no idea - not that into networking with actual computers ;)  good luck man, maybe someone else has a suggestion.
[00:21] <nerdy_kid> john38: now, what we have done is disabled the opensource driver.   Just make sure you can use your other pc incase this one decides not to login.
[00:22] <john38> nerdy_kid, ok
[00:22] <nerdy_kid> john38: ok now reboot.
[00:22] <dration7> I'm getting a harsh popping noise from my speakers with ubuntu 10.10
[00:23] <john38> nerdy_kid, so what might happen i wont be able to boot
[00:23] <shcherbak> dration7: what player?
[00:23] <john38> nerdy_kid, then just come back here
[00:23] <nerdy_kid> john38: it should be able to boot, but you might not get anything else beside text.  That shoudn't happen, but it might.  Yeah just come back here.
[00:24] <linelevel> Hi guys. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T410 which dual-boots Windows and Ubuntu. I really want to get rid of Windows entirely and only use Ubuntu, but Ubuntu is currently giving me serious problems. The first one is my wireless. It was fine in Ubuntu Lucid, but since I upgraded to Maverick my internet works for a few minutes after a reboot then just stops working. If I disconnect and try to reconnect to any network, it keeps me waiting forever
[00:24] <linelevel> hmm, did that cut off?
[00:25] <dration7> anyone get popping noise from their speakers with ubuntu 10?
[00:25] <john38> nerdy_kid, ok back but at bootup screen was weird colors for 6 sec
[00:26] <nerdy_kid> john38: yeah maybe fix that later.  run lsmod again and send me the url

[00:33] <bwald> something really strange just happened to me: I did a fresh install of ubuntu, ran all the updates and used it successfully for a few hours, but now when I reboot I can't log back in; it says my password is wrong.  I'm using the same password I used to set everything up, and it worked earlier tonight.  I didn't do anything to change it, it just suddenly stopped working
[00:33] <RoasterVIk> how do i know when a person is active? anyone can answer this question!
[00:34] <rww> RoasterVIk: on IRC? type "/whois theirnick theirnick" (yes, twice) to get their Idle time

[00:45] <nerdy_kid> john38: yeah, try runing the .run with --iscurrentdistro
[00:45] <john38> nerdy_kid, how do i do that
[00:45] <PJSingh5000> : you didn't find cario in the list of running applications in System Monitor ?  (You have to click on "Processes" tab.
[00:46] <mitchs> PJSingh5000: i have no processes tab.
[00:46] <nerdy_kid> john38: open a terminal, go to where the .run is, type sudo ./  and then the first few letters of the file name and hit tab to autocomplete it, then add on --iscurrentdistro and hit enter.

[00:48] <nerdy_kid> john38: ok, well in that case I cant help you anymore with that.  the lines are the cause of the driver, so I can only say switch drivers or upgrade.  Since you cant switch drivers, then you can upgrade and hope it gets fixed.

[00:53] <nerdy_kid> john38: you can try enabling this ppa to see if a upgrade will fix it:  run "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates" and check for updates.
[00:54] <nerdy_kid> john38: other then that, it is unfixible as far as I know.  sorry, hope you can get it working :|
[00:54] <john38> nerdy_kid, ok hold maybe i might be able to install proprietary

[01:00] <john38> blackshirt, im doing it here in terminal
[01:00] <blackshirt> no, issuing sudo telinit 1

[01:01] <blackshirt> John38: and then try install your ati installer, maybe firstly you have completely removed your opensource ati driver
[01:01] <john38> blackshirt, i am not programmer
[01:01] <Garandir> Anyone know how/if I can change the default extraction folder in Archive Manager/File Roller?
[01:02] <blackshirt> john38: i'm not too :)
[01:02] <blackshirt> john38: telinit 1 to enter single mode
[01:02] <john38> blackshirt, ? what is that
[01:03] <blackshirt> it will stoping your network service, x server and multiuser system
[01:03] <xidica> john38: single user mode is just that, only one user can be logged in, no network started, x server, etc
[01:03] <john38> blackshirt, im not asking what that is im asking what to do where do i type
[01:03] <blackshirt> john38: exactly like xidica said
[01:03] <SpudDogg> Someone please help!  I'm trying to install ubuntu, but the installer is not recognizing my partitions.  sda1 has windows installed, sda2 and sda3 are both blank ext3 partitions and sda4 is swap.  The installer sees the entire disk as blank space, but fdisk sees it properly.  Anyone please help?
[01:04] <xidica> SpudDugg: please paste the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda
[01:04] <john38> blackshirt, explain?
[01:04] <xidica> SpudDugg: also, have you created the partitions properly
[01:04] <blackshirt> john32: in your terminal..
[01:04] <xidica> john38: login to terminal as your user and 'sudo su -' up to root, then do 'telinit 1'
[01:04] <SpudDogg> xidica: i used fdisk to create them, they should be fine.  pasting the output.  1 sec
[01:05] <xidica> SpudDogg, message me instead so you don't get booted for pasting
[01:05] <xidica> well looks like john38 figured out how to go to single user mode ;)

[01:06] <xidica> SpudDogg, what does the top output of smartctl -a /dev/sda output? what type of drive is this does it have a GUID partition table or something?
[01:06] <blackshirt> john38: still there ??
[01:06] <xidica> SpudDogg, does fdisk give you a warning that you should be using parted or anything?
[01:07] <xidica> blackshirt, he went single user and dropped
[01:07] <SpudDogg> xidica: i think it does have GPT.  i dont know how that happened or how to fix it though
[01:07] <xrfang> I accidentally removed apt and apt-utils from a ubuntu server, how can I reinstall these 2 packages. thanks
[01:07] <blackshirt>  xidica: i think he was on another desktop :)
[01:07] <john38> blackshirt, when it was booting it froze
[01:08] <xidica> SpudDogg, what type of Drive?
[01:08] <ProfessorBacon> can someone help me install ubuntu onto my microwave?
[01:08] <SpudDogg> xidica: yes it does.  sorry, what do you mean what type of drive?  sata?
[01:08] <xidica> SpudDogg, yes, what model and SATA/USB or what
[01:08] <honeypot> anyone can help with pdo_mysql plz
[01:08] <blackshirt> john: you have reboot it ?
[01:08] <Swian> ProfessorBacon what model microwave
[01:09] <SpudDogg> xidica: its a maxtor diamondmax something SATA 500GB
[01:09] <john38> blackshirt, i typed sudo telinit 1
[01:09] <xidica> SpudDogg, and what is the exact error? when you're in the installer it doesn't see the drive, or it doesn't see the partitions? you've followed something like http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9059/dual-boot-your-pre-installed-windows-7-computer-with-ubuntu/ ?
[01:09] <john38> blackshirt, then it booted and froze
[01:09] <furi> my mouse input is gone after canceling an "input sha" command in a terminal. what is "sha"? frets on fire reccommended i use that command, but i got spooked after entering the command thinking it was the wrong place to put it, so i did ctrl+Z. how can i restore the mouse?
[01:09] <ProfessorBacon> Swian: Panasonic NNSD767B
[01:10] <blackshirt> john: it will drop you to single root mode
[01:10] <furi> sorry, i mean import sha
[01:10] <SpudDogg> xidica: i should also mention that i've had several ubuntu installs on this disk before, just not it starts giving me problems.  it sees the drive, not the partitions.  im sure i could re-make the partition layout, but i dont really want to screw up that windows install
[01:10] <Swian> Sorry ProfessorBacon, you'll need to go Fedora for that model
[01:10] <ProfessorBacon> blast!
[01:10] <ProfessorBacon> not fedora
[01:10] <john38> blackshirt, yes but it froze
[01:10] <john38> blackshirt, splash screen
[01:10] <xidica> SpudDogg, I'd say boot up into a liveCD, remove the linux partitions, use 'w' to write the changes to the drive ... then recreate them manually
[01:11] <xidica> SpudDogg, make sure you have your windows data backed up of course
[01:11] <SpudDogg> xidica: thats how i created them in the first palce
[01:11] <SpudDogg> place
[01:11] <xidica> SpudDogg, did you try manually mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdbX or whatever
[01:11] <furi> adding on to my issue, trying to use "import sha" again returns that the mouse is currently being used. also, the mouse is replaced by a + and i can't do anything except move it around.
[01:11] <xidica> SpudDogg, and manually mkfs'ing them and mkfs.swap on the swap partition?
[01:11] <SpudDogg> xidica: trying that now
[01:11] <xidica> SpudDogg, yeah may give that a shot, you using 10.4 or 10.10?
[01:12] <john38> blackshirt, am i in single mode now
[01:12] <SpudDogg> xidica: 10.10
[01:13] <cousteau`irssi> Is it possible to make the volume icon show a tooltip with the volume level?
[01:13] <john38> blackshirt, ??
[01:13] <blackshirt> john38: ok...install your ati driver installer, i assumed you have completely remove opensource ati driver
[01:13] <xidica> SpudDogg, my guess is if you do the fdisk with a proper 'w' after and it writes the partition table properly the installer should see it no problem
[01:13] <uLinux> im trying to "apply" this patch http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.irc.irssi.devel/317  and it's showing  fatal: "corrupt patch at line 61"
[01:13] <furi> my mouse input is gone after canceling an "import sha" command in a terminal. what is "sha"? frets on fire reccommended i use that command, but i got spooked after entering the command thinking it was the wrong place to put it, so i did ctrl+Z. how can i restore the mouse? the cursor is replaced by a + and all i can do is move the mouse, clicking does nothing.
[01:13] <john38> blackshirt, how do i make sure
[01:14] <marien> s
[01:14] <SpudDogg> xidica: yea, i think im going to have to re-make the partition table and re-install windows, thats all
[01:14] <SpudDogg> xidica: wish i could just do away with windows, but my wife isn't having it lol
[01:14] <xidica> SpudDogg, The windows re-install may not be necessary, likely you just need to delete the linux partitions, write it .... and then recreate the linux partitions and write it
[01:14] <blackshirt> opensource driver for ati video card is on xserver-xorg-video-ati packages, you must remove it before
[01:14] <xidica> SpudDogg, alternatively you could pick up a 500GB external USB drive and just install Ubuntu on that like I have
[01:15] <john38> blackshirt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/524191/
[01:15] <SpudDogg> xidica: i have drives laying around but have more ideas for them
[01:15] <SpudDogg> xidica: thanks man.  just gonna dump it and start over
[01:15] <john38> blackshirt, im running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
[01:16] <blackshirt> john38: is your system 32 or 64 bit ??
[01:16] <furi> my mouse input is gone after canceling an "import sha" command in a terminal. what is "sha"? frets on fire reccommended i use that command, but i got spooked after entering the command thinking it was the wrong place to put it, so i did ctrl+Z. how can i restore the mouse? the cursor is replaced by a + and all i can do is move the mouse, clicking does nothing.
[01:16] <john38> blackshirt, what do i do now http://paste.ubuntu.com/524192/
[01:17] <john38> blackshirt, 32 bit
[01:17] <john38> ubuntu 32
[01:17] <grabarz186linux> wilkommen
[01:17] <john38> blackshirt, ubuntu 32
[01:17] <john38> blackshirt, version
[01:17] <grabarz186linux> są tu jacyś  polacy?
[01:17] <SpudDogg> xidica: well, i did it lol.  it's installing
[01:17] <xidica> furi, what is the output of 'ps aux | grep import'
[01:17] <dmizer> in evolution calendar, the weekend is compressed to one day even though the "compress weekends in month view" is disabled in preferences.
[01:17] <xidica> SpudDogg, so it's working now?
[01:17] <blackshirt> john32: i think you get a wrong driver version, you should download 32 bit driver
[01:18] <SpudDogg> xidica: yea, dumped the partions and remade them all
[01:18] <john38> blackshirt, it is
[01:18] <furi> xidica: import sha is in there
[01:18] <SpudDogg> xidica: i'll just reinstall windows for the wife, then fix grub afterwards
[01:18] <blackshirt> current ati driver installer is for 64 bit system
[01:18] <xidica> furi, have you tried a kill -9 on the 'import' process?
[01:18] <xidica> furi, you suspended it, you need to either resume it or kill it
[01:18] <furi> xidica: oh.
[01:18] <xidica> furi, it's probably holding a lock on your mouse or something
[01:19] <furi> xidica: alright, will try kill
[01:19] <xidica> furi, if that doesn't work ctrl-alt-f1 and get root and restart gdm
[01:19] <john38> blackshirt, which ubuntu should i choose ubuntu/9.04 ....etc??
[01:19] <furi> xidica: idk what number the ID is though
[01:19] <himanshu> john38: new one
[01:19] <himanshu> 10.04
[01:19] <furi> xidica: there's one 5 digit number and two 4 digit ones on grep
[01:19] <xidica> furi, ps aux | grep import | awk '{print $2}'
[01:20] <xidica> that should give you the PID
[01:20] <blackshirt> No...if your ubuntu system installed is 32 bit, you should use 32 bit ati driver too
[01:21] <furi> xidica: okay, thanks, it's working again
[01:21] <himanshu> blackshirt: 10.04 doesn't support 32 bit ?
[01:21] <EricThibault> Hi!  Is there an admin online I could talk to in private?
[01:21] <Swian> of course it does
[01:21] <honeypot> http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=5010
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> xidica: or just use: pidof import   if the process is named 'import'
[01:21] <honeypot> anybody knows how to solve this
[01:22] <honeypot> it's noted as solved but I'm having same issue
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> EricThibault: if you have an ubuntu question here is the place to ask, there in #ubuntu-ops but it's not a support channel
[01:22] <xidica> ActionParsnip, fairenough
[01:22] <test34> honeypot, see #php
[01:22] <john38> Package /home/bobcarlson/Downloads/libamdxvba1_8.593-0ubuntu1_i386.deb has been successfully generated
[01:23] <john38> does that mean its installed???
[01:23] <honeypot> ok test34, anybody knows how to get pdo_mysql driver installed?
[01:23] <cousteau`irssi> john38: no, it has generated a package
[01:23] <john38> so now i just gotta install them
[01:24] <cousteau`irssi> john38: what are you doing exactly?
[01:24] <EricThibault> @ActionParsnip : It's not a question about the Ubuntu products, it's about something else! ^^
[01:24] <test34> honeypot, sudo apt-get install php5-mysql ?
[01:24] <EricThibault> Are you an admin?
[01:24] <john38> cousteau`irssi, installing ati propietary driver
[01:24] <Tm0> Anyone have the long command that installs everything for a VPS on hand?
[01:24] <test34> EricThibault, just ask if it's about #ubuntu
[01:25] <honeypot> I installed both of them separetely but just got pdo and not pdo_mysql
[01:25] <john38> cousteau`irssi, these were the only options for installation http://paste.ubuntu.com/524194/
[01:25] <blackshirt> himanshu: 10.04 is a just ubuntu release...its difference with 32 and 64 bit meaning
[01:25] <john38> cousteau`irssi, i chose ubuntu/9.04
[01:25] <UnholyTerror> Ok, Administration->Users and Groups doesn't appear to do anything.
[01:25] <test34> honeypot, this is one package, not 2 (MySQL module for php5)
[01:25] <cousteau`irssi> john38: well... I'm not sure how it works, but if after seeing that nothing happens, you just double-click the resulting .deb to install it
[01:26] <honeypot> ok test34, I'll get back to you thanks
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> UnholyTerror: if you launch it with gksudo, you can modify any user
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> UnholyTerror: assuming the user launching it is a memeber of the admin group
[01:26] <john38> cousteau`irssi, im getting errro later version already install or availabel in software channel
[01:26] <blackshirt> john38: are you still there ??
[01:26] <queso> I just received an older, used hard drive from a friend -- it appears to work fine but I'd like to run a thorough check on it.  What program could/should I use for this?
[01:27] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, settings don't seem to work...
[01:27] <Tm0> Anyone have the long command that installs everything for a VPS on hand?
[01:27] <john38> blackshirt, yeah
[01:27] <cousteau`irssi> john38: then better install that one
[01:27] <john38> blackshirt, i got these option which one should i choose http://paste.ubuntu.com/524194/
[01:27] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, I want to restrict a user from using the internet but no matter what, a connection is established and the user can browse.
[01:28] <blackshirt> john32: maybe you should download ati driver again
[01:28] <john38> cousteau`irssi, i thougt proprietary drivers were diffrent not open
[01:28] <jjcm> Tm0: Kinda ambiguous
[01:28] <cousteau`irssi> john38: there are proprietary drivers on repositories
[01:28] <Tm0> jjcm, the ubuntu version of this sudo yum -y install php php-cli php-mysql mysql mysql-server httpd httpd-manual bind
[01:28] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, I am making changes as root (unlock) as I am the admin.
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> UnholyTerror: you can edit the menu so it runs wih gksudo so its automatically unlocked
[01:30] <john38> cousteau`irssi, what is ati repos
[01:30] <john38> blackshirt, ??
[01:30] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, is that going to be different than unlocking it? The changes I make are there... just not following the rules.
[01:30] <jjcm> Tm0: aptitude install php5 php5-cli php-mysql mysql-server apache2 libapache2-modphp5 bind9
[01:31] <jjcm> Tm0: should do it
[01:31] <jjcm> Tm0: alternately, there's a lamp package IIRC
[01:31] <Tm0> jjcm, thanks so much bro! And where is this lamp package?
[01:31] <blackshirt> john38: your system not there ??
[01:32] <john38> blackshirt, i cant choose any of them?
[01:32] <blackshirt> may you show where is the link you download from ?
[01:32] <olskolirc> smooches all around :-)
[01:32] <jjcm> Tm0: if you just type "tasksel"
[01:32] <john38> blackshirt, you talking to me?
[01:32] <jjcm> Tm0: There's a selection grid for basic uses
[01:33] <mitchs> You would have to pay for this support from "other" operating systems.
[01:33] <blackshirt> yes john38
[01:33] <sebikul> !lamp
[01:33] <jjcm> Tm0: check dns server and lamp server, and you'll be good
[01:33] <olskolirc> i was looking for nessus in the repo and its not there for karmic but this looks like a replacement http://ns2.canonical.com/karmic/harden-remoteaudit i don't know what it means can damage host?
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> UnholyTerror: just saves you having to click unlock etc, I use cli user admin personally
[01:33] <xidica> olskolirc, what it means is running scans that are aggressive can cause problems on the target machine
[01:34] <RetroGamer> cd #winehq
[01:34] <john38> blackshirt, http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.12&lang=English
[01:34] <RetroGamer> ..... iv been doing too much bash
[01:34] <olskolirc> the target machine not my maching xidica?
[01:34] <olskolirc> machine*
[01:34] <mitchs> RetroGamer, lol
[01:35] <Licuadora> Ok,
[01:35] <olskolirc> ok i get it
[01:35] <Licuadora> hello
[01:35] <bencc> what java package do I need if I'm getting: Unable to find a javac compiler
[01:35] <jjcm> bencc: jdk
[01:36] <blackshirt> john38: ok, wait
[01:36] <jjcm> bencc: default-jdk will be the most typical choice
[01:36] <Linus_Asus> Hi I would like to know if there's a way to choose what the installation will install, is there a way to modify the image of ubuntu before to start install?
[01:36] <jjcm> bencc: but you have a myriad of choices
[01:36] <bencc> thanks
[01:36] <Tm0> Is webmin in the repos?
[01:36] <bencc> jjcm: trying default-jdk
[01:37] <Licuadora> So i decided to Reinstall Ubuntu 10.10 cause i did not have any WIFI signal, now I can't install from the live CD for some strange reason - it just stays in "when you are ready..." Anyway, maybe some one here would like to read a log and tell me if ubuntu has a bug or something?
[01:37] <Licuadora> IF, you tell me where can I find that LOG
[01:37] <jjcm> bencc: If you already have one installed though, you can run "sudo updatedb && locate javac | grep bin"
[01:37] <PJSingh5000> bencc: have you tried JDK from Sun?
[01:37] <ns_tech1> what is the command to install GTK 2.x?
[01:37] <jjcm> bencc: then just make sure that the bin files are in your PATH
[01:37] <Tm0> Is there any webmin or any webmin type product in the repos?
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> !webmin
[01:37] <jjcm> Tm0: Like a plesk kinda thing?
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> !ebox
[01:38] <Tm0> jjcm, mhm, but in the repos prefered.
[01:38] <jjcm> Yea can't help you there Tm0
[01:39] <xidica> olskolirc, what exactly is it you are trying to do again?
[01:39] <Tm0> jjcm, then i must run a .deb file?
[01:39] <jjcm> Tm0: Not sure, I just dont know of any web admin products (Or rather, I haven't used any so I cant recommend one)
[01:40] <himanshu> !ebox
[01:40] <Tm0> I mean like i have to wget and run the .deb right?
[01:40] <jjcm> Tm0: for what?
[01:40] <Tm0> For any webmin or plesk
[01:41] <jjcm> Tm0: Check what ActionParsnip just alerted - webmin is no longer supported in debian/ubuntu
[01:41] <blackshirt> john38: before you ever install drivers ati ??
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> Tm0: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-distributions/4-ubuntu/1213-install-webmin-in-ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat
[01:41] <jjcm> Tm0: maybe google for "webmin alternative ubuntu"
[01:41] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, settings do not take effect. I cannot drop or prevent the user from accessing wireless or ethernet connections.
[01:41] <anonymous_1> help! i cant open non-installed binaries!
[01:42] <jjcm> anonymous_1: what's the issue with them?
[01:42] <Tm0> Thanks Jccm thanks
[01:42] <anonymous_1> @jjcm they just dont work, in terminal it says 'command not found'
[01:42] <olskolirc> xidica, i installed harden-remoteaudit and i can't find it no where not in the menu or the command line where is it
[01:42] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, shouldn't that prevent internet/lan access?
[01:42] <john38> blackshirt, ??what
[01:42] <anonymous_1> @jjcm i tried to sh on them and it gives me many syntax errors and error dumps
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> UnholyTerror: not sure, i've not done such a thing
[01:43] <blackshirt> previously, you ever install previous version ati driver ??
[01:43] <jjcm> anonymous_1: what about straight up ./ to run them anonymous_1?
[01:43] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, I gotta try some other things... thanks.
[01:43] <anonymous_1> @jjcm didnt tried that, im not a linux wizard, brb
[01:43] <john38> blackshirt, no this is first time i try to install proprietary other than  open
[01:43] <xidica> olskolirc, this is probably a question better asked in #nessus ... are you sure nessusd is configured and running?
[01:44] <jjcm> anonymous_1: if the name of the binary is "foo", just do ./foo
[01:44] <john38> blackshirt, how do i make sure i dont have any open source
[01:44] <jjcm> anonymous_1: while you're in the directory that they're contained in
[01:44] <olskolirc> oh i have to have that too?
[01:44] <olskolirc> ok brb
[01:44] <jjcm> john38: You can't not have any open source code if you're installing linux.
[01:45] <john38> jjcm, not talking to you
[01:45] <anonymous_1> @jjcm it does not work
[01:45] <john38> i mean open source drivers for ati
[01:45] <Guest40941> PLEASE HELP. I had my ubuntu system installed in my 80 gb drive. i think i might have deleted all the information when i issued the comman "gzip -dc boot.img.gz >/dev/sda", it was supposed to be sdb (a usb drive) not sda, and i believe sda was the 80gb drive.}.
[01:45] <jjcm> anonymous_1: what's the output?
[01:45] <blackshirt> if you have purging it, i think it completely removed
[01:45] <anonymous_1> @jjcm first it says i have no permission, with sudo it says that command cant be found
[01:45] <jjcm> Guest40941: nicely done.
[01:46] <KB1JWQ> Guest40941: Yeah, you blew a giant hole in something. :-)
[01:46] <john38> blackshirt, yes but how do i make sure
[01:46] <KB1JWQ> It's a good thing you've got a robust backup policy in place and can restore from backups though!  A lot of people with insufficient experience and bad administrative habits would not be in such a good position.
[01:46] <KB1JWQ> Guest40941: ^^
[01:46] <john38> blackshirt, that everything is gone
[01:46] <SingAlong> hi all
[01:46] <anonymous_1> hi
[01:46] <RetroGamer> anyone here good with iptables?
[01:46] <xidica> RetroGamer, yes
[01:46] <SingAlong> is it possible to create an ISO install image of the current state of my system? (the extra packages installed + the base install)
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> !iptables | RetroGamer
[01:47] <jjcm> anonymous_1: Sounds like the permissions aren't set right on it. What's "ls -l FILENAME" say about it (where filename is the name of the program you're trying to run)?
[01:47] <RetroGamer> ActionParsnip, thank you...but its more complex than that...let me get my rules into pastebin
[01:47] <blackshirt> you can try search in /usr/bin directory, still aticonfig reside on that directory
[01:47] <SingAlong> anyone?
, <KB1JWQ> , so its done? no way to revover?
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: thats all i know, i use a router which is enouugh for me
[01:47] <KB1JWQ> Guest40941: Sure, restore from backup.
[01:47] <anonymous_1> @jjcm yes, filename is what i try to run, in this case these are game binaries, gotta get you that ls -l in a sec
[01:48] <john38> blackshirt, i got a Intel 865G 9600xt agp
 i still get errors even after running that.
[01:48] <Linus_Asus> well I think I got my answer is Ubuntu Studio, is it stable as much as the regular  ubuntu
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> Guest40941: restore from backup
[01:48] <KB1JWQ> Guest40941: Other than that, you're boned.
[01:48] <blackshirt> you have dual vga card on your system ??
[01:48] <john38> blackshirt, i installed ubuntu through onboard VGA xtreme graphics 2
, sorry for my ignoracne, but how? could yo point me out in some direction?
[01:48] <jjcm> Guest40941: You overwrote the information directly.
[01:48] <anonymous_1> @jjcm for openttd (x64 binary), it is -rw-------
[01:48] <Guest40941> jjcm, :S
[01:48] <jjcm> Guest40941: Unless you have that info backed up elsewhere, it's gone. Forever.
[01:48] <john38> blackshirt, then i plugged in agp card after that
[01:49] <KB1JWQ> Guest40941: You take the separate removable media (maybe another drive, maybe an FTP server), and restore it.  If you don't have backups, you just learned a very painful lesson.
[01:49] <john38> blackshirt, should i reinstall through AGP card
[01:49] <anonymous_1> @jjcm the problem is that a lot of libs do that on me, mostly games
[01:49] <RetroGamer> xidica, http://pastebin.com/MPq2fr5S i'm trying to block port 80 on all users except the one with userid 6000 (squid)
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> jjcm: people love learning the value of backups the hardest way possible
[01:49] <anonymous_1> @jjcm bins*
[01:49] <Guest40941> KB1JWQ, yes I did
[01:49] <KB1JWQ> Guest40941: That being said, depending on how big boot.img is when it's decompressed, you MIGHT be able to use something like testdisk or foremost to scrape data off of it.
[01:49] <Guest40941> thanks anyway
[01:49] <jjcm> Guest40941: There are some experimental/theoretical techniques for trying to find out the previous value of a bit on a magnetic media, but it requires an electron microscope
[01:49] <jjcm> Guest40941: and you have to do it by hand
[01:49] <fishscene> !ftp > fishscene
[01:49] <jjcm> Guest40941: bit by bit
[01:49] <Guest40941> well the boot im wasnt too big
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> Guest40941: look into foremost
[01:49] <xidica> RetroGamer, this is quite easy one sec
[01:50] <RetroGamer> xidica, awesome thank you
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Guest40941: your backups are the most reliable way to get the data back
[01:50] <KB1JWQ> Guest40941: Then you should pull the drive, get a working system up, and then use testdisk to attempt recovery of as much as you can.
[01:50] <blackshirt> john38: maybe you have to removed your another graphic card driver, deactivated your card through your bios and then try reinstall your ati driver..
[01:50] <jjcm> ActionParsnip: We've all done it
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> jjcm: nope, ive always had backups since the beginning
[01:50] <jjcm> ActionParsnip: I was foolish enough to give one of my clients root on one of their servers once.
[01:51] <RetroGamer> jjcm, thats clearly gonna end badly...
[01:51] <jjcm> ActionParsnip: I figured, "Hey, it's their servers, they wont shoot themselves in the foot"
[01:51] <RetroGamer> heh
[01:51] <anonymous_1> lol
[01:51] <jjcm> ActionParsnip: They wanted to see if the "rm -rf /" command was real.
[01:51] <jjcm> I kid you not.
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> jjcm: yeah but give users enough rope to hang themselves and....
[01:51] <RetroGamer> LOL
[01:51] <john38> blackshirt, you mean go into Bios and disable onboard VGA??
[01:51] <jjcm> That was what he told me on the phone.
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> jjcm: you are kidding...?
[01:51] <jjcm> Nope.
[01:51] <RetroGamer> ohhhh god...thats just funny
[01:51] <anonymous_1> rm -rf? what does it do?
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> jjcm: damn!
[01:52] <anonymous_1> not a linux wizard btw
[01:52] <john38> blackshirt, and reinstall only through AGP card
[01:52] <RetroGamer> anonymous_1, wipes out all directories and files
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> anonymous_1: there are videos online, go see
[01:52] <himanshu> i have bunch of /dec/sd[1-5], while i don't have any external disk. Why is it like that?
[01:52] <jjcm> ActionParsnip: recursively deletes everything in the folder / (the root folder)
[01:52] <jjcm> er
[01:52] <anonymous_1> OH WOW
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> jjcm: ;)
[01:52] <anonymous_1> this is a cool command
[01:52] <jjcm> anonymous_1: recursively deletes everything in the folder /
[01:52] <fishscene> rm -rf completely and forcibly erases your entire directory
[01:52] <anonymous_1> like ED's Windows Optimizer 2009
[01:52] <jjcm> sorry, tabpwned there ActionParsnip
[01:52] <anonymous_1> except that EDWO2009 deletes system32
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> jjcm: np man
[01:53] <blackshirt> john32: you can try that..
[01:53] <john38> blackshirt, thats the problem i can't completly disable Onboard VGA just change boot priority
[01:53] <Guest40941> ok, tahnks, gonna go cry for the term paper that i have to rewrite from scratch for tomorrow at 7
[01:53] <Guest40941> by
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> john38: you can in bios
[01:54] <anonymous_1> so jjcm, do you have any idea what could be the reason of my problem?
[01:54] <jjcm> anonymous_1: what was the output of ls -l?
[01:54] <anonymous_1> -rw-------
[01:54] <john38> blackshirt, only options are INTEL_VGA ,,AGP/INTEL_VGA,,,AGP/PCI,,,,PCI/AGP or pci
[01:54] <jjcm> anonymous_1: that's why
[01:54] <jjcm> anonymous_1: so ls -l shows you the permission patterns of the file
[01:55] <john38> blackshirt, i dont see disable anywhere just priority
[01:55] <himanshu> which one of the /dev/sd1-5 is the hard disk?
[01:55] <jjcm> anonymous_1: ignore the first digit, it's the following 9 that are important
[01:55] <blackshirt> ok..john..it's doesnt matter
[01:55] <anonymous_1> @jjcm ive seen such on ftp servers, what is the desired pattern?
[01:55] <jjcm> anonymous_1: they're in 3 groups - owner, group, and everyone else.
[01:55] <blackshirt> with...maybe you just change your priority
[01:55] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, it's weird, I can enable/disable 'Admin rights', enable/disable 'Configure Printers', but nothing has an effect on 'connect to wireless/ethernet networks'
[01:55] <jjcm> anonymous_1: so the first group, the owner group, has rw- set
[01:56] <jjcm> anonymous_1: that means that he can read, write, but not execute.
[01:56] <jjcm> anonymous_1: if it were able to be executed, it'd show up as rwx
[01:56] <john38> blackshirt, maybe i should pick AGP/PCI where apg is picked first
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> UnholyTerror: you could make the nm-applet only executable by a certain group and add the users you want to have access in that group
[01:56] <jjcm> anonymous_1: full permissions is -rwxrwxrwx, meaning anyone can read,write, and execute
[01:56] <anonymous_1> right
[01:56] <blackshirt> john32: what is your ati series do you have, ati radeon ??
[01:56] <jjcm> anonymous_1: so to change it you use the command chmod
[01:56] <anonymous_1> @jjcm but that would be dangerous to give rights to 3rd group, right?
[01:56] <jjcm> anonymous_1: i prefer to just set the changes to the exact state that I want it to be in
[01:57] <john38> blackshirt, Ati Radeon 9600xt 128mb 4x/8x agp
[01:57] <jjcm> anonymous_1: Generally, yes.
[01:57] <jjcm> anonymous_1: I'd toss in there a 755
[01:57] <anonymous_1> okay
[01:57] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, Just wondering if anyone can duplicate this?
[01:57] <jjcm> anonymous_1: that means that only the owner (you) can rewrite the program
[01:57] <jjcm> anonymous_1: but anyone can run it
[02:00] <Guest23749> can anyone help me? i have pluged in my canon xti and it is not appearing in ubuntu
[02:00] <Tm0> Guest23749 is the camera on?
[02:01] <dbdii407> I have a question. I have to CD-Rs available at this time, I was wondering if I could just copy the contents of the .iso into my secondary hard drive and boot it from there?
[02:01] <blackshirt> what a complete message when your tyr execute the ati installer, ??
[02:01] <dbdii407> i have no*
[02:01] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, Even now, my account is set to not be able to use modems or wireless/ethernet networks.
[02:01] <Guest23749> yes the camera is on
[02:01] <UnholyTerror> ActionParsnip, yet here I am?
[02:01] <Tm0> Guest23749 does the camera seem mounted like it does when it is pluged into windows?
[02:01] <maco> dbdii407: i dont think you can do that, but if you have 2 computers you can PXE boot from the ISO
[02:01] <Guest23749> the camera says busy and then the screen goes blank
[02:01] <dbdii407> maco, I only have on
[02:01] <dbdii407> maco, I only have one*
[02:02] <xidica> dbdii407, No...Maco is correct you could PXE boot the ISO, or burn the ISO, or use a USB stick to make a bootable USB out of the ISO
[02:02] <xidica> dbdii407, best recommendation at that point is to make a bootable USB thumbdrive from the ISO
[02:02] <dbdii407> I dont think I can boot from USB
[02:02] <xidica> dbdii407, BIOS doesn't support it?
[02:02] <dbdii407> No
[02:02] <maco> xidica: get a friend to help then?
[02:02] <xidica> dbdii407, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[02:03] <jjcm> anonymous_1: sorry, had to afk for a sec
[02:03] <Magnavox> How many load cycles are standard hard drives good for?
[02:03] <dbdii407> I can't use USB though
[02:03] <jjcm> anonymous_1: if you just run, "chmod 755 FILENAME" you should be good
[02:03] <Dr_Quantum> +b *@*
[02:03] <xidica> Magnavox, all relative imho
[02:03] <jjcm> Magnavox: a platter based drive?
[02:03] <Magnavox> jjcm, yes.
[02:04] <jjcm> Magnavox: They'll typically measure the drive life in MTBF
[02:04] <ev0_> So apparently I fail
[02:04] <jjcm> Magnavox: I guess you could divide that by the time it takes to fully write a drive
[02:04] <Magnavox> okay this drive was showing 55,000 load cycles...just curious
[02:04] <jjcm> Magnavox: then you'll get that load cycle

[02:05] <ev0_> any ideas why?
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> ev0_: try: sudo killall apt-get
[02:05] <xidica> ev0_, killall takes the process name, like 'killall apt-get'
[02:06] <xidica> ev0_, if you want to kill 21042 then do kill -9 21042
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> xidica: apt-get can only be ran by root, so it will need sudo as the user cannot kill root's processes
[02:06] <safari09> hye there. anyone can help me with wireless Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g

[02:12] <anonymous_1> @jjcm ive made a chmod 755 on the folder and the entire hdd, ls -l still says -rw-------
[02:12] <histo> anonymous_1: did you chmod /   ?
[02:13] <jjcm> that woudl be a very bad idea
[02:13] <anonymous_1> @histo with a slash? why?
[02:13] <jjcm> anonymous_1: just chmod the fiel that you're executing.
[02:13] <anonymous_1> but id want to chmod the entire drive
[02:13] <jjcm> anonymous_1: dont run that command that histo said, he wants to know if you*did*
[02:13] <anonymous_1> its a dump drive
[02:13] <histo> anonymous_1: don't put the @ symbol infront of peoples names just type their name. That way the message gets higlighted
[02:13] <anonymous_1> all sorts of stuff go in there
[02:13] <histo> anonymous_1: what are you trying to do?
[02:14] <Guest41476> hey can anyone give me a hand with wine?
[02:14] <anonymous_1> im trying to run some games
[02:14] <histo> !ask | Guest41476
[02:14] <jjcm> anonymous_1: what's the name of the file?
[02:14] <anonymous_1> like quake3 for instance
[02:14] <histo> anonymous_1: okay so chmod +x nameoffile
[02:14] <histo> anonymous_1: then ./nameoffile
[02:14] <jimisrvrox> Anybody good with diagnosing errors with VLC player? Ive got some pastebin that I would like some assistance with..
[02:14] <anonymous_1> why not the entire drive? something wrong with that?
[02:14] <jjcm> anonymous_1: Yea, for two reasons
[02:14] <histo> anonymous_1: yes that would be bad. +x just makes the game executable
[02:15] <jjcm> anonymous_1: 1.) you didnt do it recursivley, which means it only affected the root of the drive
[02:15] <akshu1> hi i am searching for a virtual keyboard for girefox as well chrome
[02:15] <jjcm> anonymous_1: and 2.) never set permissions globally like that
[02:15] <jjcm> anonymous_1: it's bad practice
[02:15] <histo> anonymous_1: each file can have r - read  w - write x - execute
[02:15] <jjcm> anonymous_1: only give permissions to what you need to have permissions
[02:15] <akshu1> how to install virtual keyboard of web broweser
[02:15] <histo> akshu1: isn't there one in accesiblity options?
[02:15] <anonymous_1> but then id end up having to give permissions too often
[02:15] <anonymous_1> >windows uac
[02:16] <jjcm> anonymous_1: Only when you install something.
[02:16] <akshu1> histo, no
[02:16] <jjcm> anonymous_1: which you'd need to do anyway
[02:16] <histo> akshu1: system > preferences > assistive technologies?
[02:16] <histo> akshu1: I know there is a onscreen keyboard built it hold up
[02:16] <connermcd> akshu1 it's called onBoard... you may have to enable universal access by editing your Applications menu with right click
[02:17] <maco> connermcd: it can be found in the assistive technologies popup as histo said
[02:17] <tripelb> I want to be able to do "print selection"  specifically for printing a web page. I used chrome and it'didnt work. AFAIK open(slow)office is the same. -- tired of printing extra pages.
[02:17] <maco> there's a button to choose which accessibility apps are used
[02:17] <jjcm> anonymous_1: only run "chmod 755" on the file of the game itself.
[02:17] <tripelb> 10.04
[02:17] <jjcm> anonymous_1: then just run it with ./quake3 or wahtever and you'll be fine.
[02:18] <Guest41476> ive got a problem with wine and microsoft office 2007 i cant click on the message box to enter a cd key
[02:18] <histo> akshu1: yeah you can enable onscreen keyboard in there
[02:19] <akshu1> histo, i am having only option in that is english i am looking for tamil language support
[02:19] <jjcm> Guest41476: Try including a config file with office, and include the cd key in there.

[02:21] <jjcm> anonymous_1: what histo said, do you have write permissions on that drive?
[02:21] <jjcm> anonymous_1: and did it say that chmod ran, or were there errors?
[02:21] <yagoo> Guest2056, excuse me did you say you need help to run M$office? get out man.. microsoft is bashful.
[02:21] <histo> Guest41476: I would ask in the wine channel

[02:23] <jjcm> Guest41476: the functions should be pretty transferable, some of the syntax may differ though
[02:23] <histo> yagoo: he's using wine to run it
[02:24] <histo> ActionParsnip: ty
[02:24] <connermcd> datta I'm just a user like you that's been through that
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> histo: anytime
[02:24] <Guest41476> i tried to join #winehq but i was the only person in there lol
[02:24] <connermcd> datta not saying that dvd::rip is bad... I just like acidrip better and can help you with it
[02:24] <yagoo> histo, doesn't matter.. then he'll cry about wine not working for him.. and he'll come back asking for "microsoft" help
[02:24] <anonymous_1> >microsoft
[02:24] <Guest41476> another question i have a problem i cant start google chrome
[02:24] <anonymous_1> >help
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> Guest41476: theres 130 users in there
[02:24] <Guest41476> it recons there is a dev error
[02:25] <jjcm> Guest41476: what output does it give you
[02:25] <earthshade> Anyone know how to manually install drivers in terminal?
[02:25] <datta> connermcd: all right, i have no clue on how to use this, how do you use it?
[02:25] <histo> earthshade: which drivers?
[02:25] <xidica> earthshade, depends on what drivers
[02:25] <jjcm> earthshade: from source?
[02:25] <jimisrvrox> connermcd: hey im foolin around with dvd::rip right now so does acidrip give you title menus and shit too? because it doesnt seem to me like dvdrip does..
[02:25] <datta> there is no preview that is coming up
[02:25] <icesword> actionparsnip, hardware requirement of 10.10, cpu? ram? do you know?
[02:26] <histo> !requirements | icesword
[02:26] <connermcd> jimisrvrox datta the preview is on a tab, it shows all the titles but you usually need to preview to make sure its the right one
[02:26] <earthshade> Drivers for canon pixma ip1700 printer... I was told to use the drivers for ip2200
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> icesword: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[02:26] <histo> earthshade: what in cups?
[02:26] <earthshade> ?
[02:26] <histo> earthshade: opena  browser and go to localhost:631
[02:26] <connermcd> jimisrvrox you know... making sure its not the commentary etc.... when I burn TV show DVDs its usually the first titles lined up
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: are there no drivers for it on the canon site?
[02:26] <icesword> just tell me
[02:27] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Only for 2200
[02:27] <connermcd> datta you need to select the title you wanna rip (load to get titles)
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> icesword: its on that page
[02:27] <datta> connermcd: well nothing comes up even when i did select it
[02:27] <jjcm> Guest41476: did you check the permissions on /dev/shm?
[02:27] <histo> icesword: is there a reason you can't look at that page?
[02:27] <connermcd> datta did you load the DVD on the first tab?
[02:27] <datta> yes
[02:27] <earthshade> Cups 1.4.3
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: i'd go for it, you can always remove the driver if its bad
[02:27] <connermcd> datta you have to load the DVD and select a title to preview it
[02:27] <Guest41476> yea
[02:27] <histo> icesword: we cna't paste the page in here it's to long
[02:27] <jimisrvrox> connermcd: well I ripped a dvd and I got all vob's and no menu's like I want..with dvd::rip..but Im guessing acidrip might be easier to navigate?
[02:28] <Guest41476> i think it says read only
[02:28] <histo> earthshade: open a web browser and navigate to localhost:631  then config your printer
[02:28] <Guest41476> can i change it somehow?
[02:28] <datta> connermcd: i have loaded it, it says the time
[02:28] <jjcm> Guest41476: Run that command that it told you to run in the error message
[02:28] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Yeah I just don't know how to install it... Im still learning this linux stuff
[02:28] <datta> connermcd: there is no codec that i can select from or anything
[02:28] <icesword> just cpu and ram require
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: they usually give debs or archives of debs
[02:28] <jjcm> Guest41476: sudo chmod 777 /dev/shm
[02:28] <connermcd> jimisrvrox it rips to .avi or .mpg not vobs... it doesn't use menus though like the actual DVD
[02:28] <histo> icesword: Why can't you click the link?
[02:28] <Guest41476> chmod: changing permissions of `/dev/shm': Read-only file system
[02:28] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: No like im a noob
[02:29] <connermcd> datta you may need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras... libdvdcss2
[02:29] <earthshade> histo: How to Config?
[02:29] <Guest41476> and then i get same error as before
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: what file does the site give you?
[02:29] <connermcd> datta have you installed the restricted extras?
[02:29] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: One sec
[02:29] <datta> connermcd: have to check that
[02:29] <histo> earthshade: don't pay attention to my suggestioni if you found drivers from somewhere
[02:29] <earthshade> histo: Ok
[02:30] <Stevethepirate> ActionParsnip: Random aside; do you ever reddit?
[02:30] <blaxnux> hello. :) please help me. How can I configure compiz without using compizconfig setting manager?
[02:30] <jjcm> Guest41476: why is your filesystem mounted as read only?
[02:30] <connermcd> blaxnux why don't you want to use the setting manager?
[02:30] <histo> blaxnux: I think there is ccsm light or someting
[02:31] <Guest41476> jjcm: wouldnt have a clue can i change it?
[02:31] <blaxnux> I can't update. my internet is not unlimited
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> Stevethepirate: reddit? what's that?
[02:31] <SingAlong> is it possible to create an ISO install image of the current state of my system? (the extra packages installed + the base install)
[02:31] <histo> blaxnux: http://digg.com/news/technology/How_To_to_configure_Compiz
[02:31] <datta> connermcd: still you cannot choose codecs
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: you can customise the install ISO, i know that much
[02:32] <jjcm> ActionParsnip: It's a social news aggregator.
[02:32] <histo> blaxnux: basically use gconf-editor and config
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> blaxnux: you can use simple-ccsm
[02:32] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: the pages on the wiki is too old.
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> jjcm: i see, thanks
[02:32] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: ya thats exactly what I need :)
[02:32] <blaxnux> Is there is a way to configure it using only terminal and gedit?
[02:32] <histo> ActionParsnip: he can't install any packages
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: for what?
[02:32] <connermcd> datta can you play the DVD?
[02:32] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: forking a distro :)
[02:32] <histo> blaxnux: no but you can use gconf-editor which is installed
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> !remaster | SingAlong
[02:33] <jjcm> Guest41476: It's probably your underlying issue - I gotta take off though. Best of luck with it!
[02:33] <datta> connermcd: well no but when i ripped it with dvd:rip it ripped even though i could not see it
[02:33] <blaxnux> oh, I see. thank you very much. :)
[02:33] <histo> blaxnux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/ConfiguringCompiz  Follow these directions plugins are in compiz > genereal > etc....
[02:33] <datta> connermcd: the problem with that was that it does not transcode to any format
[02:33] <Guest41476> jjcm:thanks for help cya
[02:33] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: thanks
[02:33] <histo> blaxnux: just hit alt+f2 and run gconf-editor
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: what pages are too old.....?
[02:33] <dbowlby> Hello all
[02:33] <blackshirt> hello
[02:33] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: meant for 8.04 etc
[02:33] <blaxnux> thank you. :_
[02:33] <Guest41476> chmod: changing permissions of `/dev/shm': Read-only file system anyone know how to fix is
[02:33] <Stevethepirate> ActionParsnip: :)
[02:34] <econdudeawesome> Hi all. What are the strengths of ubuntu over fedora?
[02:34] <jjcm> Stevethepirate: Did you just migrate over to reddit?
[02:34] <connermcd> datta I mean can you play the DVD like in VLC or whatever
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> Guest41476: you cant change that thing, its a block device, you need to set mount options to modify how you can access it and by whom
[02:34] <connermcd> datta can you watch it
[02:34] <datta> connermcd: no
[02:34] <dbowlby> econdudeawesome - I would say it's a matter of taste
[02:34] <Stevethepirate> No, I was just browsing /r/linux and wondered if many people in here use reddit.
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: what is too old, you never said
[02:35] <dbowlby> econdudeawesome - try them both and decide for yourself :)
[02:35] <connermcd> datta well the reason it wouldn't transcode and the reason acidrip isn't working is because you can't read it
[02:35] <Guest41476> actionparnip: how do i set mount options?
[02:35] <datta> connermcd: then i have to use handbrake to convert it
[02:35] <jimisrvrox> hey connermcd are you good with diagnosing Xorg errors? I was playing my DVD via ssh and I would get: Xlib:  extension "SYNC" missing on display "localhost:11.0". Xlib:  extension "XVideo" missing on display "localhost:11.0".
[02:35] <meatbun> i turned off update manager. it still pops out. how to fix it?
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> !mount | Guest41476
[02:35] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: the page on the wiki for customizing install ISO. but no worries that was another page that google directed me to. the ones you just refered me to are awesome
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> Guest41476: also, use TAB to complete nicks
[02:35] <connermcd> datta sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:36] <bouncing> So this is going to sound weird, but since installing Kubuntu-desktop, whenever I boot up, it crashes. In recovery mode, it crashes while it waits for mountall; in normal mode without the splash and quiet options, it crashes once the login screen appears (mouse pointer frozen, keyboard unresponsive); on older kernels, it crashes at various stages of booting, each different.
[02:36] <earthshade> Ok so I downloaded the drivers for ip2200 from the canon site... It is a .tgz file... How do I install?
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: hardy is still fully supported on both desktop and server
[02:36] <datta> connermcd: it's installed
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: right click it and extract it
[02:36] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: oh
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: and the method you use will be exactly the same
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: yuo will chroot into the CD and add / remove stuff, so the method being old is moot
[02:37] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Ok now what?
[02:37] <bouncing> also, how do I get a list of installed packages on a partition that's mounted (not on the running system)?
[02:37] <connermcd> datta sudo apt-get install vlc xine mplayer libdvdread3
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: you will have a folder, enter it and have a look around, you wil have debs you can install
[02:37] <connermcd> datta then try to play it in VLC
[02:38] <connermcd> jimisrvrox sorry can't help ya there
[02:38] <datta> connermcd: all right will try that
[02:38] <dbowlby> I have ubuntu server 10.10 running on my box.  I told it to install the virtualization components.  So far it works great, I love it.  My only concern is that my hosts are on their own network.  I'm cool with this, but I really want to have the server to act as a gateway to the virtualized servers.
[02:38] <dbowlby> There is documentation on host only and bridged connections, but I can't find anything on port forwarding to the virtualized hosts.
[02:38] <tony__> hello
[02:39] <connermcd> datta then install the CSS library... sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[02:39] <Licuadora> Hello
[02:39] <datta> connermcd: no does not work, dvdrip seems to copy the vob files fairly well without transcoding them
[02:39] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: See but im a noob to the point where I don't knowhow to install them if I find them
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> dbowlby: make the guest systems us a bridged interface and they will appear on teh LAN just like a physical PC and will be in the DHCP list in the router config page
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: use your eyes, you can see the file extensions
[02:40] <datta> connermcd: maybe because the dvd is protected or something
[02:40] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: I don't know how to install them!!!!!!
[02:40] <dbowlby> ActionParsnip, I'm not wanting to eat up IP addreses on my network.  I like it to be seperate.  I want the host server to port forward to the internal hosts
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: if yuo bang the "I'm a noob, I know nothing" drum you will never get any more proficient with the OS
[02:40] <connermcd> datta ah you need these codecs -> sudo apt-get libdvdnav4 libdvdplay0 libdvdread3 libdvdcss2
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: double click them!!!!!!
[02:40] <earthshade> Oic
[02:40] <connermcd> datta oops... sudo apt-get install
[02:40] <earthshade> Lol
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> dbowlby: are you using a home lan?
[02:41] <rigved> hi everyone
[02:41] <earthshade> So im looking for deb files
[02:41] <dbowlby> ActoinParsnip, yes
[02:41] <Licuadora> How can I find out what happen to my system? I was trying to reinstall Ubuntu, but then got stuck in the "Who are you" section, so i cancel it, and now, when i try to boot normally, it asks me for a boot CD, but I can't install from the liveCD even though it has no errors, What can i do
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: yes, there may be a readme in the files too. I dont have the data so cannot tell you exactly
[02:41] <dbowlby> ActionParsnip, I like the design of having the VM host front the ports
[02:41] <earthshade> Um every file is .rpm it seems
[02:41] <rigved> when i try to install remastersys, apt-get asks me to remove grub-pc. is this fine or will it cause some problem with my system?
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> dbowlby: do you anticipate having 254 PCs?
[02:42] <rigved> i'm using ubuntu 10.04
[02:42] <datta> connermcd: everything is installed
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: then you have the redhat driver
[02:42] <earthshade> What's redhat?
[02:42] <dbowlby> ActionParsnip, I see where you are going, but I only want one IP per physical box
[02:42] <connermcd> datta k try playing it in VLC again
[02:42] <nimbiotics> Is there a WYSIWYG  tool to create web pages in ubuntu, something for a total noob? TIA!
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> dbowlby: thats what will happen, the other IPs will be for the software systems
[02:42] <datta> connermcd: seems like it will not work, as if it is a dvd you cannot rip. tried it before on windows did not work
[02:43] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: What's redhat?
[02:43] <histo> nimbiotics: there are plenty of them. If you search the software center you will get many results
[02:43] <rigved> !redhat | earthshade
[02:43] <datta> connermcd: it says there is nothing on the cd/dvd drive
[02:43] <nimbiotics> histo: thanks
[02:43] <earthshade> Damn
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> dbowlby: the host won't have multiple IPs, it will just be the same port for the next hop to then hit the virtual systems
[02:43] <gbillings> !language
[02:44] <Diamondcite> ActionParsnip, dbowlby: Is bridging the interface a possible solution? or even an independent NAT.
[02:44] <earthshade> gbillings: Damn? Really?
[02:44] <Licuadora> Is it ok if I upgrade when I am in a liveCD?
[02:44] <spvensko_> hi, can anyone recommend fun multiplayer games that do not require modern video cards? A good example would be TeeWorlds
[02:44] <akshu1> i have installed gok but in accestive technolgies not showing gok option for enable
[02:45] <dbowlby> ActionParsnip, I understand the dynamics of virtualization.  I'm wanting to forward ports from the eth0 of the host to the various virtual boxes on that host.  The idea is to have a single IP to reference and based on port it goes to the appropriate host
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> Diamondcite: sure, its in the config of the virtual system
[02:45] <dbowlby> ActionParsnip, similar to the nat options in vmware
[02:45] <bonhoffer> anyone know how to make a cron task run at 5am 12pm and 7pm?
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> dbowlby: you can do it that way but its a bit messier
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> !cron | bonhoffer
[02:45] <bonhoffer> add three lines in crontab?
[02:45] <dbowlby> ActionParsnip, I figured that is why there isn't really a tutorial :)
[02:45] <Licuadora> WE linux ppl don't play games, we are too busy trying to make Ubuntu work with out any issues
[02:46] <gbillings> earthshade, i was pointing out how rediculous the ubottu commands are and how people abuse them :P didnt mean it personaly
[02:46] <bonhoffer> i can specify a daily time, but it looks like i need three lines to do three times during the day
[02:46] <schnootop> Has anyone had problems with several characters in the new ubuntu font ? the comma always comes out as a block for me
[02:46] <Diamondcite> Licuadora: I'm playing games right now.. and I'm in linux..
[02:46] <earthshade> gbillings: Lol Oic
[02:46] <mitchs> need help with my touch pad,   how to make it so its not so touchy, thanks.
[02:46] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip: i got the basics, but three different times (or every 5 hours) is what i am trying to do

[02:52] <xidica> bonhoffer, strace it if you want
[02:52] <bonhoffer> xidica: i did cat for the script and it is what i expect --
[02:52] <bonhoffer> xidica: i need to learn strace
[02:52] <Licuadora> Anywho... goodbye, 'yall
[02:52] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip: i don't know at
[02:52] <xidica> bonhoffer, strace /home/tim/whatever
[02:52] <jaco123> http://paste.ubuntu.com/524218/ can some one help
[02:53] <bonhoffer> xidica: looks like i have some real reading to do
[02:53] <xidica> jaco123, sudo chmod 777 /dev/shm
[02:53] <bonhoffer> xidica: i need to install strace it looks like
[02:53] <bonhoffer> is strace the package?
[02:53] <jaco123> xidica, i tried that it says its mounted as read only
[02:53] <Tweaky> hi. i want to have a conversation with another ubuntu user and be able to use webcam and typing. any suggestions for software?
[02:53] <xidica> jaco123, what is the output of mount /dev/shm
[02:54] <xidica> jaco123, it should look like none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
[02:54] <jaco123> xidica, chmod: changing permissions of `/dev/shm': Read-only file system
[02:54] <xidica> jaco123, is your drive failing?
[02:54] <bonhoffer> xidica: for crontab -l -- where is that file it is referencing?
[02:54] <earthshade> "wrong architecture i386"????
[02:54] <jaco123> xidica, everything else is working fine
[02:54] <bonhoffer> more /etc/ctontab is the file i am looking at
[02:55] <osimuru> I'm using Byobu, and wondering how I can create a "default window" with bash at a certain directory. I tried adding "screen -t test bash -c 'cd /home/me/random_folder'", but it didn't work (it automatically closes). How do you set the working directory of bash in such a startup script?
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: your OS is 64bit isn't it?
[02:55] <dbowlby> ActionParsnip, thanks for the info.  I will go with the bridging approach and abandon the idea of fronting ports from the host.
[02:56] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Yessir
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> dbowlby: home networks have addresses to burn
[02:56] <dbowlby> ActionParsnip, I'll just change my IP schema to accomodate :)
[02:56] <ABGD> hey dawgs
[02:56] <dbowlby> ActionParsnip, well that is true of most homes, not necessarily mine :)
[02:56] <rigved> ok, never mind i checked it online. grub-pc is the package name for grub2. so it will cause problems with my system if i remove it
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: the drivers are 32bit, if there is only 32bit drivers you will need to install ia32-libs
[02:57] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Command?
[02:57] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip: xidica: http://www.pastie.org/1265739
[02:57] <bonhoffer> strace won't install
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: then you can force install the drive. This will most likely NOT work and you may need a 32bit OS to accommodate your printer manufacturers support
[02:58] <jaco123> hey help please http://paste.ubuntu.com/524220/
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: search software-centre for the package name, thats what installs entail
[02:58] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip: xidica: trying https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Strace
[02:58] <bonhoffer> but get that E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[02:58] <bonhoffer> those suggestions don't work
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: gutsy is long dead and gnoe
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> *gone
[02:58] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Its already installed..
[02:59] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip: ok. and i don't have time to upgrade
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: ok then you can force install the debs with: sudo dpkg --force-arch -i filename.deb
[02:59] <jaco123> hey help please http://paste.ubuntu.com/524220/
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: then you cannot nistall any debs which arent on the install CD
[02:59] <Tweaky> anyone know of webcam softwar i can chat with in ubuntu
[02:59] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip: thanks for letting me know
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> Tweaky: amsn if you use the msn protocol
[03:00] <veron> hello alguien habla español? xd
[03:00] <blackshirt> bonhoffer: what are you doing
[03:00] <Tweaky> ActionParsnip: thanks i will try
[03:00] <bonhoffer> blackshirt: trying to see if my crontab works
[03:00] <blackshirt> your crontab not working ??
[03:00] <bonhoffer> yak shaving . . . trying to get strace installed on gutsy so i can see what is going on with my crontab
[03:00] <ghostnik11> hi was wondering if anyone knows the package in synaptic that i have to download to get the connect (to ftp,http,and etc) feature that comes with most ubuntu distros on lubuntu 10.10
[03:00] <bonhoffer> blackshirt: it might be working -- i just want to test it
[03:01] <avo> hey guys, i'm running Ubuntu lucid (but using the same super-current proprietary ATI driver as found in Maverick.. though this issue has been occurred in all FGLRX drivers I've had). My problem is that when returning from Suspend, my computer will become so slow it is thoroughly unusable. Using the gnome system monitor panel applet, I can see that IOWait is maxing when this happens; however my processor is not. What is the cause of this? Is
[03:01] <avo>  this a known problem? Does a solution exist? Thanks so much!
[03:01] <bonhoffer> without setting time for one minute from now
[03:01] <bastidrazor> !es | veron
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> avo: mixing packages from different releases is not advised, and probably why you are getting the issues. The packages are not supposed to be interchanged between releases
[03:02] <blackshirt> bonhoffer: ok..
[03:02] <bonhoffer> need to man crontab, but thought there might be some easy crontab troubleshooting commands to run it and see if there are any errors
[03:03] <earthshade> ActionParsnip:  what was the command again?
[03:03] <nickles> rg
[03:03] <osimuru> How can I launch Bash with another working directory? For example: instead of my home folder, it starts in my downloads folder.
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: ok then you can force install the debs with: sudo dpkg --force-arch -i filename.deb   you will need to use the path and filename for the file as I have no way of knowing that information]#
[03:04] <juliana> can anyone help me?
[03:04] <connermcd> osimuru just put cd Downloads in your .bashrc
[03:04] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Space between force and arch?
[03:04] <connermcd> !ask | juliana
[03:04] <avo> ActionParsnip, Perhaps I should have left that out. This problem has occurred on all versions of ubuntu, will a whole range of FGLRX drivers. On Maverick with it's out-of-the-box proprietary ATI driver, on Lucid with its', and with all of the ATI drivers in between. Mixing of packages, I can assure you, is not the cause.
[03:04] <enferex> Im trying to apt-get a common package but i keep getting "Could not resolve 'ar.archive.ubuntu.com'" yet I can still ping it
[03:04] <xidica> enferex, cat /etc/resolv.conf
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> osimuru: gnome-terminal --working-directory=DIRNAME
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> osimuru: it's in the man page
[03:04] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: ^^
[03:05] <blackshirt> bonhoffer: just read man page
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: no, its a minus sign
[03:05] <osimuru> connermcd: I want to use it with screen, so certain tabs are automatically at certain working directories, so I can't change the .bashrc, since it would make it so for every new instance of bash?
[03:05] <n2diy> should a joystick show up under lshw?
[03:05] <osimuru> ActionParsnip: bash, not gnome-terminal
[03:05] <juliana> I chosed a existent NTFS partition as my swap drive, knowing not what was a swap. I had many many files in that partition... can I still access them?
[03:05] <bonhoffer> blackshirt: agreed, but was looking for a quick command that i didn't see in the man-page
[03:05] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Between minus and arch?
[03:05] <xidica> juliana, doubtful lol
[03:05] <enferex> xidica: ok... i have valid server in there
[03:06] <xidica> enferex, try first 'dig google.com' and also 'dig google.com @4.2.2.2'
[03:06] <avo> juliana, Not without using data recovery techniques, no,
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: ok then you can force install the debs with: sudo dpkg --force-arch -i filename.deb   you will need to use the path and filename for the file as I have no way of knowing that information < write it as it's written
[03:06] <blackshirt> bonhoffer: i think, still there bug on crontab..read fully
[03:06] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Unknown force option arch
[03:06] <bonhoffer> blackshirt: ??
[03:06] <blakkheim> juliana: next time don't use something you don't fully understand
[03:06] <juliana> what would you guys recommend for recovery?
[03:06] <bonhoffer> "still there bug on crontab"
[03:06] <bonhoffer> you think crontab is buggy?
[03:06] <avo> juliana, It's expensive software.
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: ok then you can force install the debs with: sudo dpkg --force-all -i filename.deb   try that instead.
[03:07] <enferex> xidica: 'dig google.com' worked the 'dig google.com @4.2.2.2' failed.  The first one used one of the nameservers in my resolv.conf
[03:07] <avo> juliana, An unfortunate lesson on keeping backups.
[03:07] <blackshirt> bonhoffer: each entry in crontab end in a newline character..
[03:07] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Unknown option "/"
[03:07] <bonhoffer> blackshirt: which is why i want to run it . . .
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> osimuru: if its for a user every time, add:   cd /path/to/folder   at the end of ~/.bashrc
[03:08] <linelevel> Hi guys. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T410 which dual-boots Windows and Ubuntu. In Ubuntu only, I've been having a problem with my wireless recently. It was fine in Ubuntu Lucid, but since I upgraded to Maverick my internet works for a few minutes after a reboot then just stops working. If I disconnect and try to reconnect to any network, it keeps me waiting forever (until I manually stop it). The only way to get back online is to reboot agai
[03:08] <juliana> oh... how sad...
[03:08] <connermcd> osimuru there's also a .screenrc but I've never messed with it
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: don't add spaces in the filenames because you feel like it, and use tab to complete pathnames and the filenames
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> osimuru: every bash and terminal will start in the folder you specify
[03:09] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Im dragging the file ibto terminal so it gives the exact location
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: it's clearly not working is it....
[03:09] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Got it nvm
[03:09] <foxlover> Where I can ask about C in this server?
[03:09] <jrib> foxlover: ##c
[03:10] <foxlover> jrib: thank you :)
[03:10] <connermcd> osimuru this may help with screenrc - http://www.mail-archive.com/screen-users@gnu.org/msg01538.html
[03:11] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: Everytime it finishes it says ldconfig processibg now taking place
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: yes, it will
[03:12] <earthshade> How long does that take?
[03:12] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: ^^
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: as long as it needs
[03:13] <earthshade> How do i know when its done?
[03:14] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: ^^
[03:14] <Stevethepirate> Just had a look at python-twisted; but it seems like goddam overkill for what I need :< Just want a simple library for HTTP proxying.
[03:14] <juliana> how can I recover a partition that I'd turned into swap?
[03:14] <bullgard4> Cold-starting my Lucid Ubuntu computer does no longer obtain network access. '~$ route' is empty. The green link LED is on though. '~$ sudo dhclient eth0' brings back network access but no Avahi. To fix this, what should I look for in dmesg?
[03:15] <jrib> Stevethepirate: #python perhaps?
[03:17] <Stevethepirate> jrib: Doesn't _have_ to be python. Thats the problem :(
[03:17] <CaneToad> bullgard4 - I don't use avahi have you tried doing:  service avahi-daemon restart
[03:17] <Stevethepirate> Wish ##networking wasn't so idle :)
[03:17] <Stevethepirate> I'll give them a bash.
[03:17] <jrib> Stevethepirate: what is your question?
[03:17] <Stevethepirate> I'll ask on #python; judgement call here. Screw C idea; python it is.
[03:18] <earthshade> ActionParsnip: It is now recognized but the test pages will not print
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> earthshade: then the driver either needs tweaking if possible or the driver isn't the one for you
[03:21] <MikeW> Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop does not work under Hyper-V, is anyone familiar with someone who actually did get it hacked to work under Hyper-V?
[03:21] <lynx> Is there a game hacking program or memory editing program for linux
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> MikeW: http://www.vumesoft.com/installing-ubuntu-server-10-10-on-hyper-v/
[03:22] <KB1JWQ> linelevel: Sure, hexdump
[03:22] <Guest89746> WEll?
[03:22] <ndroftheline> does anybody know how to change the console resolution
[03:22] <CaneToad> Guest89746: bvi is a binary file editor
[03:22] <MikeW> ActionParsnip: That's Ubuntu Server, it's Ubuntu Desktop that doesn't work
[03:22] <ndroftheline> i have an external monitor on my headless laptop
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> MikeW: why not use something like vmware or virtualbox
[03:23] <ndroftheline> and it displays boot text fine
[03:23] <Guest89746> will bvi edit the memory of a process?
[03:23] <ndroftheline> but then when it gets to a text login prompt it starts freaking out
[03:23] <Guest89746> What program that is prewritten can I use to change the memory of a process?
[03:23] <ndroftheline> so i want to play with my resolution
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> MikeW: you could install the desktop on the server once its installed, you may need some boot options to make it fly
[03:23] <Guest89746> I know it's possible to write a program to do it... so which function?
[03:23] <Guest89746> you have to understand that I'm not a linux programmer...
[03:23] <ndroftheline> it used to be under /etc/X11/xorg.conf but now i don't know what to do
[03:23] <ndroftheline> anybody?
[03:23] <MikeW> ActionParsnip: Because Vmware Server doesn't run at the same time as Hyper-V, and I got ubuntu 10.10 desktop working amazingly well under vmware server, but it works less well with all my Windows VMs
[03:24] <sosaited> Where can I find latest stable and unstable Glib libraries for Ubuntu Lucid? I have a beta version of Tracker installed, but it says that "Journal rotating" is not enabled because Glib version installed doesn't support it
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> MikeW: sounds like a poor config ubuntu then
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> MikeW: all I can suggest is log a bug
[03:24] <regeya> say, I have a machine with a builtin intel g31 card running ubuntu 10.10.  When I fire up firefox or chromium, X crashes.
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> regeya: log back in and read /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:25] <bullgard4> CaneToad: This obtains: "restart. restart: FRejected send message, 1 matched rules, type = "method call", "sender = ":1.54 "(uid=1000, pid=1936 comm=restart) interface= com.ubuntu.Upstart0-6.Job"
[03:26] <CaneToad> bullgard4: but does avahi work now after a restart?
[03:26] <STF> hi i need to know, is there a possibility to rune a wine windowed program without emulate a complete a desktop
[03:27] <CaneToad> STF: yes, but depends on the program
[03:27] <spvensko_> hi, what's the program that can be used to download podcasts and free video media?
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> STF: sure, just run winecfg  and disable the virtual desktop option, some apps need it though
[03:27] <regeya> ActionParsnip: looking through here...hm.  nothing really jumps out at me.  Bummer.
[03:27] <bullgard4> CaneToad: My problem is a different one. Please re-read what I asked at the outset. My problem is that a cold start does not obtain network access.
[03:27]  * regeya goes googling some more...
[03:27] <spvensko_> i can't remember the name, it's short, ~4 letters...
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> regeya: i suggest virtualbox, its opensource so can be improved by community etc
[03:28] <STF> thx i forgot these option
[03:28] <ZykoticK9> spvensko_, miro?
[03:28] <spvensko_> ZykoticK9, exactly! thanks! :)
[03:29] <regeya> ActionParsnip: I'm a bit sleep deprived right now; I'm trying to figure out how that'll help with a Firefox problem.  My guess would be an issue with Flash's hw accel
[03:29] <CaneToad> bullgard4: I found with Lucid that obtaining network access after a start was flakey...sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't...dhclient eth0 always fixed it though
[03:29] <STF> another thing does someone of a expieriences with direct connect hubs in a local network?
[03:29] <STF> another thing does someone of you have a expieriences with direct connect hubs in a local network?
[03:29] <ZykoticK9> regeya, to my knowledge there is no accelerated flash under linux
[03:29] <bullgard4> CaneToad: Where did you read that?
[03:30] <CaneToad> bullgard4: I didn't read it, I experienced it
[03:30] <dli> ZykoticK9, not stable yet, but try lightspark plugin
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> STF: can you expand on "direct connect hubs"?
[03:30] <bullgard4> CaneToad: Ah, I see. Thank you for your information.
[03:31] <STF> actionParsnip: i run a adchpp hub on my ubuntuserver
[03:32] <Guest89746> graal &
[03:32] <Guest89746> will bvi edit the memory of a process?
[03:32] <Guest89746> Is there a game hacking program or memory editing program for linux
[03:32] <jimisrvrox> hey guys im having problems connecting to the internet on my ubuntu machine...anybody good with networking?
[03:32] <Guest89746> Is there a game hacking program or memory editing program for linux
[03:33] <ZykoticK9> dli, thanks for the link - i'd never heard of lightspark before (don't plan on trying it anytime soon, but always good to know about alternatives)
[03:33] <STF> actionParsnip: it is open to an intranet where itself an my winpc are behind a router with the same ip now i try to connect from my windows pc apexDc++ client to the server, but the server revoke each time the client after connection
[03:33] <lucasicf> hi i'm new in programming (2 years), how can i contribute to opensource gnu/linux apps?
[03:34] <dli> ZykoticK9, lightspark is based on GLSL and LLVM for hardware acceleration, should be better than adobe binary
[03:34] <xidica> lucasicf, what language?
[03:34] <STF> actionParsnip: do you use a dc-hub by now?
[03:35] <maco> lucasicf: have a look at bugs tagged "bitesize" on http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs for simple ubuntu bugs, Junior Jobs for KDE, or GNOME-Love for GNOME
[03:35] <lucasicf> i'd like to explore and try to improve some kde apps
[03:35] <lucasicf> with C++
[03:35] <lucasicf> thanks
[03:35] <fishscene> !ftpserver > fishscene
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> STF: i use a linksys router which has an inbuilt switch
[03:35] <fishscene> a;lsdkfn Anyone know of any (working) ftp server software?
[03:35] <maco> lucasicf: you are certainly welcome to hang out in #kubuntu-devel. ive had lots of mentorship from those folks
[03:35] <STF> actionParsnip: wow, do you use a wrt45gl?
[03:36] <beinghuman> I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 because 8.10 didn't work
[03:36] <beinghuman> and I'm trying to do this without a keyboard
[03:36] <beinghuman> 8.10 would count down and choose english before it installed so this wasn't an issue
[03:36] <beinghuman> but 10.10 just sits there and waits on keyboard input before starting installation
[03:37] <beinghuman> I'm out of options and I have to do this without a keyboard. Options?
[03:37] <maco> beinghuman: it wont react to mouse either?
[03:37] <Jygga> hmm should i really tr to put ubuntu on this G4 powerbook?
[03:37] <beinghuman> maco: I have a mouse
[03:37] <beinghuman> and it responds
[03:37] <Jygga> i foresee brainhurts
[03:37] <beinghuman> the problem is I physically don't have a keyboard to hook up to it
[03:37] <beinghuman> and I need this done tonight
[03:37] <blackshirt> stew:
[03:37] <beinghuman> right now it's on the language select screen
[03:37] <beinghuman> just sitting there.
[03:37] <maco> beinghuman: and you cant select the language with the mouse?
[03:38] <beinghuman> presumably waiting on keyboard input but I have no keyboard
[03:38] <beinghuman> maco no
[03:38] <STF> actionParsnip: wow, which router type of linksys do you use?
[03:38] <beinghuman> there is cursor but the light is on, on the mouse
[03:38] <dli> beinghuman, get a livecd with auto-network, and sshd up
[03:38] <beinghuman> there is no curor*
[03:38] <beinghuman> I thought this was a live cd
[03:38] <maco> beinghuman: uh oh :-/ more accessibility fail :(
[03:39] <beinghuman> yeah I think so
[03:39] <maco> beinghuman: it is... dli's suggestion doesnt make sense to me either
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> STF: a wireless one
[03:39] <beinghuman> it doesn't make sense to me because I can't sshd up when the live cd just sits and waits for keyboard input for language select
[03:40] <STF> actionParsnip: wow, i ask i use wrt45gl (wireless too) with ddwrt soft
[03:40] <bullgard4> Cold-starting my Lucid Ubuntu computer does no longer obtain network access. '~$ route' is empty. The green link LED is on though. '~$ sudo dhclient eth0' brings back network access but no Avahi. To fix this, what should I look for in dmesg?
[03:40] <dli> bullgard4, can you run a network-manager?
[03:41] <Jp> why does ubuntu 10.10 show i have 3 hdd's?
[03:41] <beinghuman> maco: I feel like I'm out of options here. I got 8.10 installed but *nothing* worked
[03:41] <beinghuman> because it wouldn't validate the password
[03:41] <bullgard4> dli: Do you mean if I have installed the program NetworkManager and can start it?
[03:41] <dli> Jp, fdisk -l , ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/
[03:41] <beinghuman> I don't know why but that's how it was. So I'm trying with 10.10
[03:41] <blackshirt> Jp: what exactly hd you have
[03:42] <beinghuman> I mean the password would validate but nothing that required admin access would work, period.
[03:42] <AbhiJit> after installing eclipse my ubuntu becomes slow. is it true? should i remove eclipse?
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> STF: if you hook up a wired hub or switch to it then it will give more ethernet ports on the same subnet
[03:42] <beinghuman> maco: this was the server edition. I'll try with the desktop edition and see if that happens.
[03:42] <dli> bullgard4, network managers can auto-reconnect for you, try either n-m (from gnome), or wicd
[03:42] <beinghuman> I'm running out of CDs though
[03:42] <Jp> i only have 2 but it shows file system, 80gb reserve, and 80 gb reserve
[03:42] <lk> hello,I want to ask that can i use "cat" like this "cat file1 file 2 > file3"
[03:42] <maco> beinghuman: oh, server edition is not a live cd
[03:43] <maco> beinghuman: there is no way whatsoever to use a mouse with the server edition
[03:43] <beinghuman> bah
[03:43] <beinghuman> okay then
[03:43] <maco> it is a command line based installer
[03:43] <bullgard4> dli: What does that help me? The problem is that networking does not start automatically after a cold start. It used to start automaticalle.
[03:43] <beinghuman> i'll stick with desktop edition
[03:43] <STF> actionparsnip: what do you try to explain me?
[03:43] <bullgard4> s/automaticalle/automatically/
[03:43] <blackshirt> Jp: paste your output fdisk -l
[03:43] <beinghuman> i'll get the server when I can get a keyboard access
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> STF: from your first lot of text it sounded like you wanted to hook up more PCs to your router
[03:43] <beinghuman> thanks, maco. I figured that had to be the case
[03:43] <dli> bullgard4, a nm will auto-connect whenever possible
[03:44] <dli> lk, or, cat file2 >> file1
[03:44] <Jp> in terminal i type fdisk -l and it doesn't show anything
[03:44] <bullgard4> dli: A great word, Very imprecise. Good for the bible.
[03:44] <kmyst> anybody know why pvdisplay is showing PV name as /dev/dm-0 instead of what it used to be /dev/sda5? i'm thinking udev is creating /dev/dm-* devices
[03:45] <rigved> when i use uck to create my own custom LiveDVD, i selected the package manager option. i want to know if the boxes marked in green will be installed or should i tick them (mark for re-install)?
[03:45] <jaco123> help with google chrome please http://paste.ubuntu.com/524239/
[03:45] <blackshirt> Jp: it doesn't show anything ??
[03:45] <Jp> blackshirt: no i enter fdisk -l and hit enter and nothing comes up
[03:45] <lk> dli, i want to cover file3
[03:46] <kmyst> Jp: use sudo fdisk -l ... fdisk -l quit showing output unless you use sudo for some strange reason
[03:46] <AbhiJit> after installing eclipse my ubuntu becomes slow. is it true? should i remove eclipse?
[03:46] <jaco123> help with google chrome please http://paste.ubuntu.com/524239/
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> jaco123: i suggest: mv /home/jack/.config/google-chrome /home/jack/.config/google-chrome_old
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> jaco123: then rerun the browser
[03:46] <hylian> hello, i have ubuntu 10.10, and want to record my desktop, both video and audio, and i have googled it but really haven't come up with anything, and recorditnow does not want to work, can someone make another suggestion?
[03:46] <blackshirt> where you know the hard drive is detected
[03:46] <yagoo> bullgard4, if you can set the network connectivity to "auto" for system via any graphical means, then you can look into using the interfaces file.. the network icon on the desktop allows separate user network settings (meaning the network starts when the user logs on graphicaly)
[03:46] <Jp> do i paste it all here
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: run:  sudo fdisk -l
[03:46] <jaco123> ActionParsnip, hey cool ill try that
[03:46] <blackshirt> no, use pastebin
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> Jp: use a pastebin
[03:47] <yagoo> bullgard4, (if you can't set/if u can)
[03:47] <Jp> http://paste.ubuntu.com/524242/
[03:47] <rigved> AbhiJit: that may not be the case, something else might be causing the problem. check system monitor for which applications are using the maximum amount of resources
[03:47] <Jp> blackshirt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524242/
[03:47] <blackshirt> Jp: it was detected, two hardisk, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb...
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> AbhiJit: you can run: top   and observe
[03:48] <dli> lk, cat file1 file2 > file3 , as far as you don't do: cat file1 file2 > file1
[03:48] <blackshirt> its' true ??
[03:48] <vzee-labs> Hi... I did a fresh installation of ubuntu 30GB partition and I have only 100MB in my home directory .How do I increase the size?
[03:48] <AbhiJit> rigved, ActionParsnip it started to happen after installatin of eclipse
[03:48] <jaco123> ActionParsnip, hey i tried mv /home/jack/.config/google-chrome /home/jack/.config/google-chrome_old get the same error back when i rerun
[03:48] <Jp> blackshirt: but under computer i have what it looks to be 3 hard drives
[03:49] <lk> dli,thanks
[03:49] <STF> actionsparsnip: we talk at cross-purposes, i ask for support of direct connect hubs, dchub like uhub, or ynhub
[03:49] <rigved> AbhiJit: start eclipse and then check system monitor. is eclipse using too much resources?
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> jaco123: then i'd see where else the browser holds settings. Did you recently reinstall with a seperate /home partition or restore data from backup etc
[03:49] <hylian> does anyone have a suggestion for a tool to record both the video and audio of my desktop in ubuntu 10.10? (recorditnow does not work.)
[03:49] <AbhiJit> rigved, dunno
[03:49] <kmyst> hylian: istanbul
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> STF: this is ubuntu support, not direct hub (or whatever) support
[03:50] <rigved> !info recordmydesktop | hylian
[03:50] <vzee-labs> How do I increase the home folder size in ubuntu 10.10?
[03:50] <dli> vzee-labs, what do you see: df -h
[03:50] <hylian> rigved, the first thing i said was that recorditnow does not work, but thanks anywayz.
[03:51] <jaco123> ActionParsnip, no i havent reinstaled ubuntu since i first put it on and have never loaded a backup where might i find info one where that browser holds setings?
[03:51] <blackshirt> Jp: it's not a problem...maybe you can umount it
[03:51] <hylian> rigved, i didnt see the differecne untill it was too late, thanx
[03:51] <Jp> blackshirt: never mind i got it its a 100mb partition of the second drive
[03:51] <STF> actionparsnip: i know what the topic but it was a try cause you do not realy find any usefull support in web
[03:51] <hylian> thank you, i wil tyr those out
[03:52] <STF> actionparsnip: let's forget this
[03:52] <blackshirt> Jp: ok :)...
[03:52] <Jp> blackshirt: i removed wine from the computer but it still shows under the applications menu thing, how do i remove it?
[03:53] <vzee-labs> dli: http://pastebin.com/h47sYj62
[03:53] <rigved> AbhiJit: if you feel that eclipse is using too much resources and you want to remove it, then you can install netbeans as an alternative
[03:53] <AbhiJit> rigved, ok
[03:54] <andy> system>preferences>main menu
[03:54] <blackshirt> vzee-labs: what exactly your need ??
[03:54] <fishscene> Does anyone know of an FTP server that allows me to change the ports?
[03:54] <fishscene> server program*
[03:54] <vzee-labs> blackshirt: I installed ubuntu on a 30GB drive but home folder is running out of space showing only 100MB left
[03:55] <AbhiJit> filezilla fishscene ?
[03:55] <fishscene> That's for connecting to an FTP server.. unless I'm missing something
[03:55] <blackshirt> you have placed home directory on separated partitions ??
[03:55] <rigved> when i use synaptic, some packages have a green box (no tick inside them). will these packages be automatically installed or do i have to mark them (mark for re-install) to install them?
[03:55] <Jp> vzee-labs, i dont think 30GB hdd is enough space for an OS
[03:55] <user88> i need help to install beryl in ubuntu 10.10
[03:55] <dli> vzee-labs, is this from netbook OEM or something, you got a tiny rootfs on loop
[03:56] <vzee-labs> blackshirt: no on the same directory however df -h shows only 4GB usage out of the 30GB where has all the other space gone?
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> vzee-labs: close as many apps as you can and install bleachbit, avoid options which say they will take a long time and also watch the browser settings or it'll clean settings you want
[03:56] <Jp> vzee-labs: are you dual-booting?
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> user88: beryl doesn't exist now, its compiz-fusion now
[03:56] <fishscene> Correction. Filezilla *does* have a server side. But it's for Windows-only?
[03:57] <vzee-labs> jp : yes it was a wubi installation
[03:57] <dli> vzee-labs, a quick tweak would be "mkdir -p /host/home;rsync -avxAH /home/* /host/home/;mount -o bind /host/home /home"
[03:57] <user88> awwww ok thanks are there any other good programs you would sugest
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> Jp: my / is 3Gb usd and has a full slew of office productivity, ALL available plugins and codecs and the other usual suspects
[03:57] <lastent> Hi, I'm learning Chinese an I want to write some characters in ubuntu, is it posible to do this
[03:57] <lastent> ?
[03:57] <vzee-labs> dli: ok trying
[03:58] <vzee-labs> ActionParsnip, ok trying
[03:58] <yagoo> lastent, i bet its possible.. but wrong channel..
[03:58] <Jp> vzee-labs: under wubi you select what size you want the ubuntu partition to be, you must have put something like 3gb and its filling up fast
[03:58] <dli> lastent, you may install scim ibus, apt-cache search scim|grep -i chinese, etc.
[03:58] <yagoo> lastent, what's wrong with romanji?
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> vzee-labs: also if you remove old kernels you can claw back ~120Mb per kernel
[03:58] <yagoo> lastent, yeah.. the scim named packages .. there's a whole list of them
[03:59] <Jp> actionparsnip: vzee-labs used wubi and did dual boot i think he/she might have selected a low space amount and not the full 30gb or 15gb per partition
[03:59] <lastent> yaaar, what is romanji?
[03:59] <vzee-labs> Jp: I think I gave the entire disk size of 30GB
[03:59] <dli> lastent, and ubuntu provides you a program im-switch (in preferences, input method switch)
[03:59] <Jp> zvee-labs: do you need windows at all?
[03:59] <maco> lastent: romaji is writing japanese words using roman characters
[04:00] <maco> lastent: pinyin is what you use to write chinese words in roman characters
[04:00] <Brownbear> unable to use my webcam when using ubuntu 10.10
[04:00] <dli> vzee-labs, in long run, I don't like the very limited size of rootfs, you may have to redesign how you are going use the disk
[04:00] <vzee-labs> Jp: yes other at home use it
[04:00] <Brownbear> dell s1440-022b studio
[04:00] <vzee-labs> dli: ok
[04:00] <Brownbear> how do I get to make the webcam functional under ubuntu?
[04:01] <Jp> vzee-labs: the others will help you i don't really like dual-booting ubuntu and windows.
[04:01] <yagoo> maco, all the asian languages basically have roman character expression
[04:01] <bullgard4> lastent: Yes, it is.
[04:01] <Jp> plus i have no experience there either
[04:01] <dli> Brownbear, it should be auto, you may test it with mplayer: mplayer tv://
[04:01] <maco> yagoo: yeah, but they use different names for it ;-)
[04:01] <xangua> !webcam
[04:01] <xangua> Brownbear: is it supported¿
[04:01] <yagoo> maco, otherwise it'd be impossible to use modern computers...
[04:02] <Brownbear> thanks ubottu
[04:02] <dli> yagoo, chinese is not based on alphabetic
[04:02] <maco> yagoo: and roman characters do /not/ tell what a word means in any way.  in japanese, hashi means chopsticks or bridge, and nori means glue or seaweed. its the kanji that tells the difference. same in chinese... ma means horse or mother or scold, depending on the hanzi
[04:02] <fishscene> This is driving me nuts. Does *anyone* make a decent FTP server for Ubuntu??
[04:02] <yagoo> dli, no chinese is written with romaji (latin based characters).. and of course the other (hieroglyphs)
[04:03] <blakkheim> fishscene: vsftpd
[04:03] <ndroftheline> how do i pass a vga=xxx parameter to the kernel using grub2
[04:03] <fishscene> blakkheim: that's the most promising of any I've tried, but you CAN NOT change the communication port from port 20
[04:03] <maco> yagoo: chinese is normally written with hanzi. pinyin (chinese do *not* call it romaji! that is a japanese word!!!!) is used as a way of telling the computer to narrow down the list to 20 or so hanzi so you can input the correct character
[04:03] <yagoo> ndroftheline, choose edit bootline, (it says to hit e).. than choose line and append
[04:03] <dli> yagoo, japanese is a phonetic language, even if it took chinese characters from china
[04:03] <ndroftheline> yagoo: sure but that'll only work for that particular boot
[04:04] <ndroftheline> yagoo: i'd like it to be persistent
[04:04] <yagoo> maco, i'm not debating this with you. I didn't invent this.
[04:04] <yagoo> lol
[04:04] <fishscene> For whatever reason, I can change the control port (port 21), but after I connect, vsftp won't send me a list of contents and disconnects me
[04:04] <dli> maco, if you do: apt-cache search scim|grep -i chinese, you can see many encoding methods for chinese
[04:05] <maco> dli: yeah i know there's more than just pinyin for chinese, but its the most common.
[04:05] <maco> for mandarin, at least
[04:05] <ndroftheline> can anybody help me with my display resolution problem
[04:05] <maco> taiwanese would use something else, i think, since they use bopomofo
[04:05] <ndroftheline> i'm trying to pass a vga=xxx argument to the kernel
[04:05] <ndroftheline> can't figure out how to make it stick with grub2
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> fishscene: sftp is more secure, ftp is really bad for security. If you are only using it for lan access then its fine but over www it will not be a good choice
[04:05] <Brownbear> xangua: yet to find out. just installing UVC. will update in a short while
[04:05] <dli> maco, hard to say which one is the "common" :) since chinese is not phonetic, people are free to use whatever encoding for computers
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> ndroftheline: add it in /etc/default/grub
[04:06] <maco> dli: and by the way, i dont see "many" with that command...i see only "scim-chinese" :P
[04:06] <maco> and the scim-tables-zh which is the data set for scim-chinese
[04:06] <fishscene> ActionParsnip: I need something that will use FTP protocol (I don't care about web access) that give the user full access to their homefolder.
[04:06] <adrock2> are there any known issues with the printing subsystem with manual duplex in maverick?
[04:06] <maco> dli: pinyin is what is taught in schools though, isnt it?
[04:07] <ndroftheline> actionparsnip under GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX or what
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> fishscene: samba will do it, you will need to run: smbpasswd -a username   as they will need to authenticate as themselves for access to their $HOME
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> ndroftheline: in the quotes with: quiet splash
[04:07] <fishscene> Samba can host an FTP server?
[04:07] <ndroftheline> oic
[04:07] <ndroftheline> kewl
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> ndroftheline: then save the new file and run: sudo update-grub
[04:07] <dli> maco, this one might be better: apt-cache search ibus-table
[04:07] <ndroftheline> ActionParsnip yes indeed thanks!
[04:08] <radhruin> Applications are freezing up quite frequently on my machine (they appear "greyed out"). I notice the following: Load average is very high (over 4 on a 4cpu system), but actual CPU use is low. Very little io is happening (according to iotop).
[04:08] <radhruin> The processes that are frozen are "uninterruptable" and have wait channels like "do_get_write_access" and "blkdev_issue_flush", so seems to be waiting on io. Any ideas on how to diagnose this problem further? Sounsd like a hardware issue but SMART shows this drive as healthy...
[04:09] <adrock2> what does vmstat look like?
[04:09] <dli> radhruin, what about "free -m"
[04:09] <fishscene> Like I said, vsftp seemed to be the perfect solution, but there seems to be no way to make it work through NAT if you change the port from port 21. (Yes, I forwarded the ports correctly)
[04:09] <Brownbear> xangua, dli: installed GUVCViewer, working good. thanks for the heads up.
[04:09] <maco> dli: wowza. i never looked through all them before because i speak japanese not chinese (just know enough about chinese to know the difference ;-) ) but dang. though...hehe there's a LaTeX one in there
[04:09] <AbhiJit> what is unity?
[04:10] <dli> maco, no, pinyin is only for PR China(maybe singapore), but not in taiwan
[04:10] <fishscene> Is there a vsftp channel or something?
[04:10] <AbhiJit> is unity == gnome == kde (i.e. all are de)?
[04:10] <maco> dli: i thought i said that in taiwan they probably use somethig diffrent...
[04:10] <yagoo> dli,maco, romance romance.. romanization with love people.
[04:10] <rigved> !info unity | AbhiJit
[04:10] <maco> AbhiJit: gnome and kde are both DEs. unity is just a shell
[04:10] <AbhiJit> rigved, maco ok
[04:10] <maco> AbhiJit: the difference is unity doesnt have a whole new set of default aps
[04:11] <radhruin> dli, adrock2: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=y5vz08k6
[04:11] <AbhiJit> maco, so in naaty we will have unity on to of gnome?
[04:11] <dli> maco, Chinese is the only major language which is not phonetic nowadays, that's why the confusion
[04:11] <ndroftheline> ActionParsnip why can't i tab your name? i see that the vga=773 is now in the kernel argument but it hasn't affected my console resolution.
[04:11] <yagoo> fishscene, ftp uses 2 ports.. maybe vsftp uses two ports as well.. I know for a ftp server to work properly behind a NAT server.. the NAT server has to support it
[04:11] <maco> AbhiJit: yep
[04:11] <AbhiJit> maco, ok
[04:11] <zenmower> is there away to completely uninstall gnome
[04:11] <zenmower> and just leave the command line
[04:11] <radhruin> dli/adrock2: the drive also has 12gb or so free space remaining.
[04:12] <adrock2> radhruin: it's not a usb disk is it?
[04:12] <maco> dli: japanese isnt really either... reading japanese thats written entirely in hiragana is *horrendously* painful. they dont have spaces! hard to find where words break if you dont use all the kanji you can
[04:12] <radhruin> adrock2: no sir.
[04:12] <xangua> !purekde | zenmower
[04:12] <adrock2> sata?
[04:12] <dli> radhruin, memory usuage seems to be ok to me, what about cpu usage? top
[04:12] <maco> dli: and there are a *ton* of homophones in japanese just like in chinese
[04:12] <xangua> !minimal
[04:12] <radhruin> adrock2: yes, WD velociraptor that, up until this point, was blazing fast :)
[04:12] <xangua> zenmower: you maybe would be more interested in minimal
[04:12] <zenmower> yeah i dont want kde either
[04:12] <AbhiJit> maco, where is unity web site?
[04:12] <zenmower> i just want bash
[04:12] <maco> AbhiJit: i dont think it has a separate one
[04:12] <ndroftheline> !vga
[04:12] <fishscene> yagoo. Correct. By default, it uses port 20 and 21 (20 = comms port) (21= control port). If I forward JUST port 21 to the server, it works. I don't need to do anything for port 20. If I change the control port to say, 201 and forward port 201 to my server, I can connect and get my directory just fine. But the List command never gets a response from the server and I'm disconnected.
[04:12] <yagoo> maco dli, if the world was perfect there'd be like three languages.. Latin, Asian and African.. and maybe one or two more...
[04:13] <adrock2> radhruin: run 'vmstat 1' and let it go for a while, then paste
[04:13] <maco> zenmower: follow the purekde directions minus the "install kde" part :P
[04:13] <zenmower> k
[04:13] <zenmower> thanks
[04:13] <radhruin> dli: top shows no processes soaking up CPU, but as I mentioned, when apps are freezing up, the load average spikes. This is likely because hte processes are waiting on IO and I think this inflates load average?
[04:13] <maco> yagoo: thatd be no fun
[04:13] <AbhiJit> hmm
[04:13] <yagoo> maco, dli, but sounds like you two want to create new languages.. comeon!!
[04:13] <radhruin> adrock2: what's a while? :)
[04:13] <dli> maco, I'm chinese, but this is a ubuntu channel :(
[04:13] <adrock2> ionno 30s... until you seem something freeze up
[04:13] <maco> yagoo: hmm you're reminding me i havent studied any african languages, just romance, slavic, asian, and visual...
[04:13] <adrock2> er, see
[04:14] <Basic_binary> would anybody know what theme is being used in this screenshot? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Glade_Screenshot_2.png
[04:14] <Loshki> fishscene: #vsftpd appears to exist. How lucky is that?
[04:14] <adrock2> try to capture vmstat output while it's acting screwy
[04:14] <realeyes> hey guys
[04:14] <adrock2> and you looked at the kernel messages with dmesg, yes?
[04:14] <realeyes> i need help with my grub screen
[04:14] <fishscene> aha! I tried vsftp earlier... rofl. Thanks Loshki. :D
[04:14] <dli> radhruin, like updatedb, trackerd, or a busy server
[04:14] <realeyes> it wont show ver. 10.10 because i upgraded w/o a CD
[04:15] <realeyes> do I need to re-install from live CD?
[04:15] <yagoo> maco, dli for yuo two -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto lol
[04:15] <yagoo> maco, dli neutrality please! hahaha
[04:15] <maco> yagoo: not enough people speak it. being able to speak many languages seems more useful
[04:15] <dli> yagoo, no interest in that, already speaking the language of the most popular choice, no reason the switch to one of the least
[04:16] <yagoo> maco, actually impressively mentioned in wiki is alot speak it.. it is used internationally with certain organizations
[04:16] <earthshade> I give up ubuntu, you win
[04:16] <radhruin> dli: I have trackerd disabled, but top does not show anything taking large amounts of cpu.
[04:16] <sakekasi> is there an easy way to list all the dependencies of a metapackage recursively?
[04:16] <blackshirt> apt-cache depends
[04:16] <sakekasi> thanks blackshirt
[04:17] <blackshirt> sakekasi: you're welcome
[04:17] <earthshade> Does wubi use 10.10?
[04:17] <D3luSi0n4L> Hey all
[04:17] <D3luSi0n4L> can someone help me real quick
[04:17] <dli> radhruin, get some benchmarking tools, try the difference between normal login, and single user
[04:17] <sakekasi> is there any way to change that into a script to remove all said depends blackshirt?
[04:17] <earthshade> Ubuntu is destroying my life
[04:17] <yagoo> fishscene, sftp is so much easier.. but somewhat slower of course.. (just port forwarding with NAT router simply works)
[04:17] <blackshirt> earthsade: are you using wubi to dual booting linux and windows ??
[04:18] <earthshade> blackshirt: Mhm
[04:18] <D3luSi0n4L> I want to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my hp laptop but I don't wanna get rid of my restore partition. So I select specific partition but i don't know what i should choose to format it to?
[04:18] <D3luSi0n4L> it gives me a long list
[04:18] <radhruin> adrock2: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=fGkxXYw4. Right around when the headers were printed a second time, pidgin froze up.
[04:18] <D3luSi0n4L> ntfs, FAT32 Journal, or something, etc etc
[04:18] <fishscene> yagoo, would that be ssh FTP?
[04:18] <blackshirt> earthsade: i wouldn't recommend that  ...
[04:19]  * sakekasi wants to install ubuntu netbook but also easily remove it.
[04:19] <yagoo> fishscene, sftp runs under ssh.. yeah.. so by default its port 22
[04:19] <adrock2> radhruin: anything in dmesg output?
[04:19] <D3luSi0n4L> anyone please?
[04:19] <dli> D3luSi0n4L, you can resize your existing partition, shrink the one with most free space
[04:19] <circlez> D3luSi0n4L: don't format your recovery partition.  Format the partition you want ubuntu on to ext4
[04:19] <D3luSi0n4L> ya but how during installation?
[04:19] <blackshirt> sakekasi: you mean, convert output to script ??
[04:19] <D3luSi0n4L> if i choose "Select Partition"
[04:19] <fishscene> yagoo: If it will work with a regular ftp client, then I'll look into it
[04:19] <D3luSi0n4L> it gives me a screen with my 3 partitions
[04:19] <D3luSi0n4L> one my primary windows one
[04:20] <D3luSi0n4L> other 2 are HP parittions
[04:20] <sakekasi> blackshirt: I want to install ubuntu-netbook but have a command that I can copy-paste into terminal to remove the whole thing with all dependencies.
[04:20] <D3luSi0n4L> when I double click the primary windows one
[04:20] <D3luSi0n4L> i have to choose which format I want it?
[04:20] <radhruin> adrock2: /var/log/dmesg or someplace else?
[04:20] <D3luSi0n4L> or something
[04:20] <bullgard4> yagoo, dli, CaneToad My bug seemed to be caused by a huge distant-upgrade in combination with a hard-disk error. --  Thank you for commenting.
[04:20] <D3luSi0n4L> it won't let me choose " format partition" unless I choose one from the list
[04:20] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, you want ubuntu natively on the HD? then do this- 1-backup data 2-chkdsk/defrag from within windows 3-use ubuntu installer&CustomPartition--(3: resize the Fat or ntfs partition, then make the ext3 or ext4 partition etc)
[04:20] <adrock2> radhruin: just type dmesg, it'll spit out the most recent messages
[04:20] <radhruin> mm k
[04:21] <circlez> dmesg
[04:21] <D3luSi0n4L> woah im lost, sorry yagoo im new to this disk crap
[04:21] <D3luSi0n4L> Personal Message me?
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> D3luSi0n4L: the partition you make will need to be extended, as you can ONLY have 4 primary partitions on a disk
[04:21] <adrock2> radhruin: also, have a gander at /var/log/messages and look for where the driver for the drive spits out messages.  it might be falling back to some weird slow/compatibility mode
[04:21] <yagoo> fishscene, you need an sftp client.. btw if u dont want users to having to install sftp clients.. u can simply use a java-sshsftp front end from a webbrowser..
[04:22] <D3luSi0n4L> Ok
[04:22]  * sakekasi was afk until now
[04:22] <radhruin> adrock2: Checked that already, it's good.
[04:22] <rodolfo> hi, do you know what package do i need to use a sony camera?
[04:22] <radhruin> adrock2: I tailed /var/log/dmesg, found nothing, but typing dmesg shows recent messages that seem relevant. Give me a second.
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> D3luSi0n4L: you can then make logical partitions on the extended partition. I assume the others are primary
[04:22] <yagoo> fishscene, konqueror, nautilus and filezilla support sftp
[04:22] <fishscene> ah. excellent
[04:22] <ndroftheline> grub2 makes it effin impossible to change my framebuffer resolution. anybody have a fix?
[04:22] <D3luSi0n4L> so i should make another partition in windows, install ubuntu to that partition, then format the windows partition from linux, then merge my linux and formely windows now empty partitions together?
[04:22] <adrock2> radhruin: if you're having disk problems, the file may lag the message buffer that is printed by dmesg
[04:23] <circlez> D3luSi0n4L: no
[04:23] <radhruin> adrock2: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=vzqPbfGv
[04:23] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, just do the first two steps at least.. the #2 i mention will speed up any resize on the ntfs or fat partition (ntfs or fat filesystems is used by windows)(ext3 or ext4 is used by linux(
[04:23] <RoC_MasterMind> anybody else playing with btrfs and get "btrfs: unable to remove the only writeable device" in their kernel log when removing a drive from a multi-drive btrfs?
[04:23] <dli> D3luSi0n4L, if you don't want to keep windows, choose to format the windows partition, otherwise, shrink it
[04:23] <D3luSi0n4L> ahh ok
[04:23] <adrock2> radhruin: yeah, that's bad.
[04:23] <D3luSi0n4L> I wanna get rid of windows
[04:24] <radhruin> adrock2: looks like a hardware problem eh? I'll try reseating the cable but otherwise... :(
[04:24] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, yah but back it up .. if the resize gets screwed up u can lose alot of data
[04:24] <D3luSi0n4L> i dont have any data
[04:24] <blackshirt> sakekashi: just purging, you will remove dependencies to
[04:24] <adrock2> radhruin: reseat the cable, maybe try a different cable or different port.
[04:24] <dli> RoC_MasterMind, sometimes, you have to add a new one before you can remove
[04:24] <radhruin> adrock2: I bet it's the cable. No way it could be this bad but SMART isn't complaining...
[04:24] <blackshirt> sakekashi: just purging, you will remove dependencies too
[04:24] <D3luSi0n4L> Its a brand new laptop
[04:24] <D3luSi0n4L> absolutely no data
[04:24] <RoC_MasterMind> dli, but....I have plenty of free space!
[04:24] <circlez> D3luSi0n4L: Than just delete the windows part.  Keep the two back up ones incase Linux doesn't work out for you.
[04:24] <D3luSi0n4L> ok but how do i got about deleting the windows part?
[04:25] <dli> RoC_MasterMind, try to add a new one and try again still
[04:25] <radhruin> adrock2: great ideas. Thank you for your help! I learned something new: just type dmesg instead of tailing the log :) I owe you a beer!
[04:25] <RoC_MasterMind> doh
[04:25] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, nah keep the windows part.. if u need an emergency access for anything (eg: bios upgrade or need a network working)
[04:25] <sakekasi> how do I change the default login session for ubuntu?
[04:25] <D3luSi0n4L> yagoo
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> D3luSi0n4L: if you press CTRL+ALT+T you can run:  sudo fdisk -l   and show the partition names, what are they called
[04:25] <adrock2> radhruin: good luck!
[04:25] <D3luSi0n4L> I'm installing linux for a couple of days then im going back t owindows with a fresh start
[04:25] <D3luSi0n4L> Action I'm in windows right now
[04:25] <blackshirt> sakekashi: on option screen at login window
[04:25] <D3luSi0n4L> my wifi doesn't work in Linux without drivers
[04:26] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, i know that's good.. but you'll learn how to fix the boot loaders too :p
[04:26] <sakekasi> blackshirt ok thanks
[04:26] <sosaited> Where can I find latest release of Glib for Lucid?
[04:26] <D3luSi0n4L> ..?
[04:26] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, nmind :)...
[04:26] <madav> can someone please tell, is there any application in the ubuntu which uses the phonet protocol?
[04:26] <rodolfo> hi, do anyone know what package do i need to use a sony camera?
[04:27] <D3luSi0n4L> ok look so i click "choose partition"
[04:27] <yagoo> madav, never heard of that.. wtf is that?
[04:27] <D3luSi0n4L> i double click it
[04:27] <D3luSi0n4L> then it gives me a new windows "Edit Partition"
[04:27] <zenmower> That worked great
[04:27] <dli> rodolfo, I suggestion shotwell from gnome
[04:27] <zenmower> Thanks
[04:27] <D3luSi0n4L> in their what format should i choose? by default its set to "do nothing" or something similar
[04:27] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, how powerful is that laptop btw? (if it's powerful enough.. u can easily abuse virtualbox or vmware)
[04:27] <rodolfo> yes
[04:28] <rodolfo> but there is an error when i connect the camera
[04:28] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, or on any other machine pwoerful enough (toying around with vbox is very safe)
[04:28] <D3luSi0n4L> yagoo I'm sending the laptop in for repairs and the windows I'm running is not legit I just want Linux on and then im gonna buy windows when it gets back
[04:28] <madav> yagoo, i dono about wtf, phonet is the protocol developed by the nokia, the source can be found in the net/phonet
[04:28] <D3luSi0n4L> Ive used linux before
[04:28] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, lol.. you're ditiching linux in 3-4 days .. why install it then?
[04:28] <D3luSi0n4L> and this laptop is fine Dualcore, 4gb ram, 17.3" led screen etc etc
[04:29] <D3luSi0n4L> well if the time comes and I'm used to it im gonna reinstall a legit copy of windows
[04:29] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, lol
[04:29] <D3luSi0n4L> I also have linux on my old laptop
[04:29] <D3luSi0n4L> but that old laptop is slow as bawls
[04:29] <D3luSi0n4L> 512mb ram, single core, etc
[04:29] <yagoo> anyone wants to help D3luSi0n4L ditch his linux for windows in 3-4 days? be my guest hehehe
[04:29] <D3luSi0n4L> yagoo
[04:29] <D3luSi0n4L> I'm going to keep it but thats another day
[04:29] <circlez> D3luSi0n4L: Damn Small Linux will turn the old laptop into something useable.
[04:29] <madav> yagoo, i wanted to study how that protocol works, what is the best way to do that, can you please help
[04:30] <D3luSi0n4L> circlez: lol I know you should of seen XP on it =)
[04:30] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, actually u can make a reserve partition for the windows...
[04:30] <D3luSi0n4L> .....
[04:30] <yagoo> nmind..
[04:30] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, your laptop is in repairs.. ok
[04:30] <D3luSi0n4L> ??
[04:30] <D3luSi0n4L> ok this is what i wanna do
[04:30] <D3luSi0n4L> lemme clarify just incase anyones confused
[04:31] <D3luSi0n4L> Im on my new laptop I want to boot into linux from the disk, then choose the primary partition, format this one partition and install linux on this one partition
[04:31] <D3luSi0n4L> I dont wanna touch the other partitions
[04:31] <carlos> Hola ubuntureros
[04:31] <circlez> greetings
[04:32] <sosaited> D3luSi0n4L: I hope you mean a LiveCD ?
[04:32] <D3luSi0n4L> when i goto choose my partition though, with windows on it it won't let me format it without choosing a format
[04:32] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, how many partitions are there again?
[04:32] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, you'll need a swap partition too
[04:32] <D3luSi0n4L> ??
[04:32] <D3luSi0n4L> wtf I never knew this was sooo damn complicated
[04:32] <circlez> D3luSi0n4L: ext3.  Don't worry about swap for the few days
[04:32] <circlez> D3luSi0n4L: use ext3
[04:32] <D3luSi0n4L> ok ty circlez
[04:32] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, minimal # partitions for linux would be two. One for "/" and the other for memory-swap..
[04:32] <sosaited> D3luSi0n4L: ext3 or ext4 is fine
[04:32] <D3luSi0n4L> that was all I need lol
[04:33] <D3luSi0n4L> is there a difference sosaited ?
[04:33] <D3luSi0n4L> if it makes a difference its a 320gb 7200rpm drive
[04:33] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, yeah, u can choose the default install and have the whole HD wiped out.. it'll do the swap partition automatically..
[04:33] <circlez> yagoo: Does ubuntu require a swap?  I've used other distros without a swap.
[04:33] <D3luSi0n4L> i mean between ext3 & 4
[04:33] <sosaited> D3luSi0n4L: Yeah a few. Like ext4 supports File Creation timestamps .. ext3 doesn't.
[04:33] <D3luSi0n4L> ok so which should I do?
[04:33] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, i believe it chooses ext4 .. but dont worry about that...
[04:33] <D3luSi0n4L> or would you recommend?
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> D3luSi0n4L: ext4 is default, i'd go for that
[04:34] <D3luSi0n4L> ok ty
[04:34] <yagoo> D3luSi0n4L, doesnt really matter.. ext4 is made for futuristic =>1TB drives..
[04:34] <sosaited> D3luSi0n4L: If this is your first time with Ubuntu BUT you have a laptop with no problems of power failures or improper shutdowns, ext4
[04:34] <D3luSi0n4L> ill be back if this works!
[04:35] <circlez> Hello #ubuntu.  How do I give additional users sudo powers?
[04:35] <sosaited> D3luSi0n4L: Format the primary partition, and then  create an ext4 root ( / ) on it, and a smaller (2.5x or more your RAM) Swap one
[04:35] <shucheng> hi all
[04:35] <ilovefairuz1> circlez: sudo EDITOR=nano visudo
[04:35] <blackshirt> sosaited: you can add it to the admin user..
[04:36] <blakkheim> lol EDITOR=nano
[04:36] <bastid_raZor> circlez: add them to the admin groups .... in a terminal type: sudo adduser username admin    ..change username to the user you want with sudo
[04:36] <sosaited> So, where do I get latest releases of Glib then?
[04:36] <circlez> bastid_raZor: Can the adduser command be used even when it is not a new user?
[04:36] <sosaited> for Lucid
[04:37] <bastid_raZor> circlez: yes
[04:37] <ilovefairuz1> sosaited: what are you trying to accomplish?
[04:37] <sosaited> circlez: You are just adding the user in the admin group in this case
[04:37] <circlez> bastid_raZor: can't tell you how happy I am to hear this quick fix.
[04:37] <rodolfo> hi do you know if i need a package to mount sony cameras?
[04:37] <bastid_raZor> circlez: you're welcome.
[04:38] <sosaited> ilovefairuz1: I have been hitting my head with Tracker trying to index my 1.9TB of data, but for one reason or another I cant seem to succeed. Now I have found out that the reason it is slow when resuming crawling after a restart is because It cant enable "Journal tracking" because Glib version I have doesn't support it
[04:39] <dli> rodolfo, some cameras allow mass storage mode, while some don't
[04:39] <rodolfo> i know
[04:39] <sosaited> ilovefairuz1: I have tracker 0.9.27. Compiled it.
[04:39] <rodolfo> but ive got an error
[04:39] <dli> rodolfo, shotwell, digikam are the easiest way
[04:40] <ilovefairuz1> sosaited: and what version of glib supports such journal tracking?
[04:40] <sosaited> ilovefairuz1: I think >2.14
[04:41] <rodolfo> it says Could not open the device (null) from (null)
[04:41] <kadgar> Hi, I installed ubuntu 10.10 on an external hard drive using macbook pro. I used super grub2 disk and booted in, for some reason I have to hold down enter when I select use usb *experimental and then it shows the ubuntu install. However, it freezes when I see the ubuntu install so I can't boot in :( anyone have any ideas???
[04:41] <rodolfo> and it is on mass storage mode
[04:41] <dli> rodolfo, is your camera on and with computer mode
[04:41] <rodolfo> yes
[04:42] <circlez> kadgar: esata or usb2.0?
[04:42] <dli> rodolfo, any file manager should read it then, try: nautilus --no-desktop
[04:42] <kadgar> usb 2.0
[04:42] <rodolfo> ok
[04:42] <kwamaking> anyone have any problems with internal speakers and headphones simultaneously playing audio
[04:43] <circlez> kadgar: no ideas
[04:43] <dli> kwamaking, it may not be possible due to hardware
[04:43] <sosaited> ilovefairuz: Or maybe it is >2.4 :s . I am trying to find out on #tracker at gimpnet. But no one is replying there for now.
[04:44] <kwamaking> dli i've got a strange jack, it doesn't disable the internal speakers when i insert the headphones
[04:44] <rodolfo> it says ** (nautilus:5674): WARNING **: Failed to get the current CK session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '5674'
[04:44] <kadgar> Hmm, well its kinda weird too because if I press use usb experimental and press enter it freezes right away but when I hold on enter it gets to screen where it shows available oses and then freezes
[04:44] <kwamaking> it does in windows, and earlier versions of ubuntu
[04:44] <kwamaking> however it doesn't in 10.10
[04:44] <rodolfo> (nautilus:5674): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_free: assertion `value != NULL' failed
[04:44] <kwamaking> been booting into an old kernal just to play music :(
[04:45] <dli> rodolfo, if it's noisy, try thunar
[04:45] <rodolfo> ok
[04:45] <magn3tic> what impact is there to me putting grub on a drive other than /dev/sda?
[04:45] <kadgar> is there something besides super grub2 disk i could use to boot into external drive on a mac book pro?
[04:45] <magn3tic> I'm installing ubuntu to /dev/sdc so is it safe to put grub there? Will my computer know to look there?
[04:46] <xidica> magn3tic, as long as you tell the bios to look there to boot it should be fine
[04:46] <dli> magn3tic, you may choose which disk to boot in bios
[04:46] <kwamaking> any suggestions dli ?
[04:46] <yagoo> bye and be nice :)
[04:46] <circlez> kadgar: look into lilo
[04:46] <dli> kwamaking, no idea :(maybe, pulseaudio knows better
[04:46] <magn3tic> xidica: dli: do most bioses allow you to choose the drive?
[04:46] <Ninja> anyone know of a linux game similar to rock band?
[04:47] <magn3tic> I guess I really don't care about NTLDR that much, I should just blow it away.
[04:47] <Ninja> or guitar hero
[04:47] <dli> magn3tic, usually, they allow you to decide the order for booting
[04:47] <xidica> magn3tic, certainly...just go to the boot options and make sure USB boot is enabled and set the order you want
[04:47] <circlez> Ninja: frets of fire is Linux, if I remember correctly (or frets on fire, something like that)

[04:49] <sosaited> ilovefairuz: how can I see which Glib version I currently have?
[04:49] <CaneToad> does anybody know where ALT-PrintScreen has gone in Maverick?  Doesn't work for me.
[04:50] <ilovefairuz> secoif: that's very important, particularly for security updates
[04:50] <secoif> ilovefairuz: that's what I thought
[04:50] <secoif> how often do you update?
[04:50] <xidica> secoif, Very important IMHO...especially if you have anything public accessible
[04:50] <ilovefairuz> sosaited: apt-cache policy libglib2.0-0
[04:50] <blackshirt> secoif: i think, if your system on critical system and you are paranoid people, you must allways up to date
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> Ninja: there are mods for it so you can make it look as you wish, if you grab a PS3 usb rock band guitar you can use it with linux with zero config
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> CaneToad: what does it do?

[05:02] <mitchs> lol then the mozilla instructions on there webpage got it wrong.
[05:02] <mitchs> ilovefairuz,  the command works
[05:03] <mitchs> , but still my ark does not unpack,  what a coincidence
[05:03] <ilovefairuz> mitchs: use xvf regardless of the suffix after .tar
[05:04] <mitchs> i only did it becase that was the firefox mozilla instructions from their website

[05:08] <D3luSi0n4L> so i got ubuntu installed
[05:08] <D3luSi0n4L> but two things
[05:08] <TiK> if it .bz2 you use -qxvf i think
[05:09] <TiK> i forget
[05:09] <D3luSi0n4L> the wireless isnt working , theres a button next to the power and its orange which means off and rnadomly it will turn blue
[05:09] <mitchs> tik  in a terminal type,    man tar
[05:09] <D3luSi0n4L> the laptop is a HP G71
[05:09] <c0nv1ct> TiK, it is no longer necessary to specify that, and it would be j for bz2
[05:09] <D3luSi0n4L> anyone know what i should do?
[05:09] <beinghuman> I got it
[05:09] <beinghuman> nevermind, thanks though
[05:09] <ilovefairuz> TiK: and -z and the -j are NOT necessary to extract a file, xvf works just fine

[05:27] <D3luSi0n4L> ActionParsnip: awesome, which kernel should I choose from the download site?
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> D3luSi0n4L: the kernel which wil come down with updates
[05:27] <magik-> When first installing ubuntu i see a flash/logo screen and then it drops to the terminal.. basically: can not mount /dev/loop0 (Busy Box v1.15.3
[05:27] <D3luSi0n4L> ActionParsnip: im a little confused, should i just download the latest? Theres like 4 then 1 RC
[05:27] <magik-> there isn't any solutions on the forums
[05:28] <D3luSi0n4L> ActionParsnip: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/stable/
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> D3luSi0n4L: those aren't kernels
[05:29] <New0> metaphaze someone also give me that:
[05:29] <New0> http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz
[05:29] <D3luSi0n4L> ActionParsnip: my bad man, like i said im new to this, i mean release
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> D3luSi0n4L: grab the one with the highest version number
[05:29] <Nikkk> Hello ! can someone help me with my problem i'm encountering ??? I've installed ubuntu 10.04 recently, the function keys for altering brightness in Lenovo Y450 are not working...How do i fix it ? :(
[05:29] <D3luSi0n4L> ActionParsnip: ok but not the RC correct?
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> D3luSi0n4L: you should keep the source after too as you will need to recompile after each new kernel
[05:29] <New0> but the Q: how much time can it be done ?
[05:30] <D3luSi0n4L> ActionParsnip: umm source? you mean the link to the site?
[05:30] <phirestalker> ok what is with bug buddy, I know I have installed all the dbg packages I can find and it still says it can't gather enough information????
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> D3luSi0n4L: the thing you download from the site is the source code for your wireless driver, it is going to be compiled against your kernel, so when you get another it will need redoing
[05:31] <D3luSi0n4L> ok
[05:32] <phirestalker> I guess the gnome bug system is just not as advanced as the kde bug system as the kde one will give you all the details of the errors so you can see what it couldn't find in symbols and install them, there is no details button for bug "buddy"
[05:32] <phirestalker> what a dark day when kde is better than gnome
[05:32] <quibbler> Nikkk-> have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594551
[05:32] <Balsaq> kde is better? i didnt know that?
[05:32] <Cairo> thanks
[05:33] <phirestalker> kde is better when programs who try to do too much ahem... Evolution crash and gnome can't give you the details you need
[05:33] <Balsaq> oh great
[05:34] <Balsaq> i just added ubuntu to 4 of my gd computers
[05:34] <Balsaq> i always thought gnome was king int he world of linux
[05:35] <phirestalker> I'll tell you what user friendly is... NOT having to install separate packages for debugging symbols, I mean you don't see windows asking for that when reporting crashes
[05:35] <snuxoll> phirestalker: why waste disk space?
[05:35] <phirestalker> because it isn't a waste when shit crashes so much
[05:35] <snuxoll> phirestalker: the installation disc is cramped as is, do you want us to require DVD's just to cram debugging symbols in?
[05:35] <IdleOne> !language | phirestalker
[05:36] <sigjuice> is there a way to tell bash to skip all startup file initialization (/etc/profile, ~/.bashrc etc)?
[05:36] <phirestalker> snuxoll, sure nowadays with all the fast internet and cheap dvds why not?
[05:37] <sigjuice> btw, I was looking for bash-dbgsym or similar and can't seem to find it.
[05:37] <metaphaze> phirestalker, because I live in Wyoming
[05:37] <snuxoll> phirestalker: not everybody has fast internet or a DVD burner
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> sigjuice: you could have a script to run:  source ~/.nothing; commands   and have ~/.nothing as a blank file, after the comamnds make the script run: source ~/.bashrc
[05:37] <Balsaq> maybe ubuntu could aslo offer a diagnostic disk separate to those who enjoy a lil extra bloat?
[05:38] <Balsaq> put all kinds of stuff-utilities on it. debugging software and everything!
[05:38] <dhruvasagar> Hi guys, my gnome applications menu is empty...if I click on edit menu nothing happens
[05:39] <phirestalker> well either bug buddy is retarded or the gnome-dbg meta package doesn't depend on enough, how do I find out what dbg packages I need to install in the new "user friendly" bug buddy world?
[05:39] <Balsaq> dhruvasagar, i would do a repair installation
[05:39] <snuxoll> phirestalker: the -dbg package for whatever is being crashtastic?
[05:39] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: repair installation ? how ?
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> dhruvasagar: if you run: alacarte in terminal, do you get output?
[05:39] <phirestalker> snuxoll, ya I have that installed, oh it's evolution by the way
[05:40] <phirestalker> snuxoll, my guess is that it is some library that evolution depends on, but as much as evolution TRIES to do, I could be looking through thousands of libraries
[05:40] <D3luSi0n4L> ActionParsnip: while doing the installation directions
[05:40] <phirestalker> snuxoll, you see my dilemma?
[05:40] <dhruvasagar> ActionParsnip: yes I do get some output http://paste.ubuntu.com/524266/
[05:41] <D3luSi0n4L> ActionParsnip: i did the sudo make install, it went through its process now it was "INSTALL" a bunch of items then ti went to "FATAL" and id a bunch of a things, now its not moving?
[05:41] <Balsaq> sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop              sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop         i dunno maybe like that?
[05:41] <D3luSi0n4L> nvm ill btb
[05:41] <D3luSi0n4L> brb
[05:41] <sigjuice> ActionParsnip: I'm not sure I follow. I am trying to get an interactive bash shell that has completely skipped /etc/profile and the like.
[05:41] <Balsaq> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:41] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: was that for me ? that sounds quote stupid to me
[05:42] <Balsaq> While booting, Ubuntu provides a way to go into boot menu just like any other operating system and in the menu it provides an option to boot into recovery mode.
[05:42] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: yes I am aware of that
[05:42] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: I am not sure if you are talking to me...
[05:42] <Balsaq> dhruvasagar, di u ever have a good installation to begin with?
[05:43] <sigjuice> ActionParsnip: nevermind. I think I figured it out.  I need bash --noprofile
[05:43] <dhruvasagar> ActionParsnip: there is an error, does it help you in identifying what's wrong ?
[05:43] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: of course
[05:44] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: I have been upgrading since ubuntu 8.04 on this very machine, never had to re-install
[05:44] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: I am on 10.04 right now
[05:44] <knightwise> good morning
[05:44] <knightwise> i havee a problem when i insert a usb key
[05:44] <dhruvasagar> knightwise: very good morning :)
[05:45] <phirestalker> dhruvasagar, lucky you, I have to reinstall when I build my new system so I can start on 64 bit :P
[05:45] <Balsaq> dhruvasagar, i noticed some strange behavior when i installed 10.04, and i ended up sticking in ext 3 and for me the oddities disappeared ...coincidence..dunno.
[05:45] <dhruvasagar> phirestalker: I have been on 64 bit since the beginning
[05:45] <knightwise> the default entry for the device name ( in /media/ ) is borked up to "test.txt" instead of the drives name
[05:45] <knightwise> any ideas how i can fix that ?
[05:45] <knightwise> good morning dhruvasagar
[05:45] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: hmmm I am on ext4...
[05:46] <phirestalker> oh my god!!! you killed kenny!!
[05:46] <phirestalker> you b*$tards
[05:46] <Balsaq> on certain computers, depending on what u are doing, ext 4 has had some issues.
[05:46] <knightwise> exit
[05:46] <phirestalker> sorry couldn't help myself :|
[05:46] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: ok, although I have a difficult time believing that the menu problem has got anything to do with it
[05:47] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: I was having perfectly good menu, I think my system crashed because of some memory issue in the middle of when I was editing the menu
[05:47] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: its kinda clear to me that the config file or whatever the menu uses must have gotten corrupted then
[05:47] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: I am trying to get some help fixing it
[05:48] <Balsaq> mine was crashing during updates and noone could help me
[05:48] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: that's unfortunate
[05:48] <Balsaq> so i did some reading and did wut i had to do
[05:48] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: but how can I migrate to ext3 without destroying my data ?
[05:48] <redfox> #ubuntu-br
[05:48] <Balsaq> back it up
[05:48] <redfox> !pt
[05:49] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: :)
[05:49] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: I will consider doing that sometime soon perhaps
[05:49] <Balsaq> funny thing is i had the same issue with xubuntu 1004
[05:49] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: same issue ?
[05:49] <Balsaq> it would get seemngly deep inti the updates....
[05:49] <bl01zk> is Ubuntu 10.10 worth updating too/
[05:49] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: ahh ok
[05:50] <almoxarife> Balsaq: my facebook is broke, should I go back to ext3?
[05:50] <dhruvasagar> bl01zk: definitely
[05:50] <Balsaq> and then after hours i would ssat wtf is this?
[05:50] <Balsaq> and noone knew
[05:50] <Silivrenion> Need some help... I have a laptop hooked up to an external monitor. At night, I shut off the external, and close my laptop screen (the residual light annoys me)... apparently ubuntu thinks that it should change my monitor configuration to use one monitor when I do this. How do I get it to not change configurations automatically?
[05:50] <dhruvasagar> almoxarife: what do you mean your facebook is broke ?
[05:50] <Balsaq> so i would be forced to crash it myself
[05:50] <netjunk> can scp copy a remote folder to the localhost??
[05:50] <phirestalker> bl01zk, if you have nvidia then YES for sure
[05:50] <Stormx2> phirestalker, why is 10.10 good for nvidia users?
[05:50] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: you should check out your monitors preferences
[05:51] <dhruvasagar> Balsaq: hmm
[05:51] <Silivrenion> laptop monitors don't turn off.. they keep powered on
[05:51] <dhruvasagar> phirestalker: I have nvidia, am I missing something ? :), I wanna know too
[05:51] <phirestalker> Stormx2, because the previous drivers sucked, in that they didn't handle vdpau very well at least for me and some other issues
[05:51] <Silivrenion> my regular monitor would power off if I needed it to, but the laptop panel just stays brightly lit
[05:51] <rdw200169> netjunk: yes.
[05:52] <Silivrenion> thats why i need the monitors configuration to not change if i close the lid
[05:52] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: you mean when you close the lid of your laptop, it still stays on ?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> netjunk: sure
[05:52] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: you need to check your power management preferences then
[05:52] <Silivrenion> if i close the lid of my laptop, monitor resolutions are reconfigured to use single display
[05:52] <Silivrenion> i want to prevent that reconfiguration
[05:53] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: you can make your computer either go on stand-by or hibernate when you close the lid...I am sure you should be able to figure out which suits you best
[05:53] <netjunk> thanks
[05:53] <Silivrenion> no, no
[05:53] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: hmm
[05:53] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: reading
[05:53] <Silivrenion> k
[05:53] <Balsaq> now when i stuffed 10.04 in my new i7 using wubi...it didnt do any of this wacky stuff....runs beautiful, but my older stuff seems to want it on ext 3?
[05:53] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: do you use nvidia ?
[05:53] <Silivrenion> no
[05:53] <phirestalker> alright all I'm out, unfortunately I have to work tomorrow
[05:54] <Balsaq> 10-4 boss
[05:54] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: please check System -> Preferences -> Monitors
[05:54] <Silivrenion> checking for?
[05:54] <sresu> Upgrading to Meerkat affects fonts and display?
[05:55] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: it will be a lot easier if you just open it :)
[05:55] <Silivrenion> it's open.. what is your suggestion?
[05:55] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: are both your monitors connected right now ?
[05:55] <Silivrenion> yes
[05:55] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: you should be able to see both the monitors configurations
[05:56] <Silivrenion> yes
[05:56] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: ur problem is the fact that the resolution gets changed after you close the lid, am I right ?
[05:57] <Silivrenion> yes.. the Laptop display is turned "off" in monitor preferences, causing the external monitor to take "Same Image on All Monitors" mode
[05:57] <Silivrenion> when i open back up the lid of the laptop, I have to reconfigure my monitor settings again
[05:58] <Silivrenion> (and that's a pain)
[05:58] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: doesn't just using the switch to monitor button do that for you ?
[05:58] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: or are you trying to use both the monitors at the same time ?
[05:58] <Silivrenion> i use both at the same time, or none at all
[05:58] <Silivrenion> i never switch.. it's not a "docked" configuration
[05:59] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: I use nvidia so its a little difficult for me to explain, but x display configuration allows me to control the way I want to use multiple monitors
[05:59] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: can you show me a screen shot of your monitor prefs ?
[05:59] <Silivrenion> sure, one moment
[05:59] <WXZ> how do I automatically lock my screen after a certain amount of time
[06:00] <blackshirt> you can configure it through screensaver properties
[06:00] <WXZ> don't have preferences > screensaver
[06:00] <dhruvasagar> WXZ: check power management
[06:01] <nebz> Hi all... i need some suggestions ... my network looks like this Internet ---> Router ---> eth0 - ubuntu server eth1 ---> client machine..... i want the client to be on the same net as the server so i did use brctl (brctl addbr bridge0, brctl addif bridge0 eth0 eth1) and bridge seems to work fine to reach the internet... but i cant ping the server from client and vice versa.... any tips/suggestion are welcome :)
[06:01] <dhruvasagar> WXZ: although you should have preferences -> screensaver too
[06:01] <Silivrenion> dhruvasagar, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71284/Screenshot.png
[06:01] <WXZ> doesn't seem to be anything related to lock screen
[06:01] <WXZ> in power manager
[06:01] <WXZ> management*
[06:02] <dhruvasagar> WXZ: Put computer to sleep when inactive for ...
[06:02] <dhruvasagar> WXZ: under Actions
[06:03] <WXZ> ok, testing it now
[06:03] <rdw200169> nebz: easy! just give the bridge0 interface an ip on the subnet
[06:03] <dhruvasagar> WXZ: what is it set to ?
[06:03] <WXZ> 1 minute
[06:03] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: checking
[06:04] <rdw200169> nebz: if you want the server to surf the net, just assign the gateway/dns to bridge0 as well
[06:04] <_vaibhav_> Am not able to run netbook edition on Vbox on Ubuntu 10.04 it says No required Driver Detected for Unity... What should I do to fix it??
[06:04] <WXZ> that doesn't really lock it :s
[06:04] <WXZ> it just turns off the display
[06:05] <dhruvasagar> WXZ: hmm
[06:05] <john38> Yep
[06:05] <WXZ> is it put computer to sleep, or put display
[06:05] <dhruvasagar> WXZ: and you don't have System -> Preferences -> Screensaver ? are you sure ?
[06:05] <WXZ> no dhruvasagar
[06:06] <WXZ> I think it's because I did it from a minimal install
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> _vaibhav_: run: lspci | grep -i vga
[06:06] <WXZ> "put computer to sleep"
[06:06] <WXZ> would that work?
[06:06] <john38> Damn Intel 865G crappy chipset
[06:06] <WXZ> ok, I have to wait 10 minutes *sigh*
[06:07] <JoeMaverickSett> WXZ: try installing gnome-screensaver from synaptics?
[06:07] <Silivrenion> dhruvasagar, I found that xset dpms force off is a workaround that will turn off the monitors nicely
[06:07] <_vaibhav_> ActionParsnip: Gives:- 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[06:07] <Silivrenion> it doesn't fix the reconfiguration problem, but it does mean i won't have to close the laptop screen
[06:07] <john38> is there such thing as defective AGP slots
[06:07] <dhruvasagar> Silivrenion: hmm
[06:08] <dhruvasagar> WXZ: I think it should be display to sleep
[06:08] <nebz> rdw200169: im not sure how to do it... i mean my router gives my server eth0 and ip with dhcp, and when bridged my client get an ip from router to, should i manualy give the bridge0 and ip? or can it be from router dchp to?
[06:08] <WXZ> I installed screensaver dhruvasagar
[06:08] <john38> theres only so much driver scrutinizing you do
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> Silivrenion: dhruvasagar: add this in xorg.conf and it'll never sleep: http://pastebin.com/15maVDvq
[06:08] <WXZ> so let's wait a minute
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> _vaibhav_: oh one of those :(
[06:08] <dhruvasagar> WXZ: ok
[06:09] <dhruvasagar> ActionParsnip: cool
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> _vaibhav_: i've only seen them work with xorg.conf files personally
[06:09] <Silivrenion> ActionParsnip, i'm not trying to prevent sleeping.. i'm trying to prevent monitor reconfiguration when the lid is closed
[06:09] <dhruvasagar> ActionParsnip: although did you get to look at my problem about the menu ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/524266/
[06:10] <rdw200169> nebz: considering that your server is a relatively 'static' device, you're gonna want to give it a static IP address.  let me suggest the second IP in the subnet, like 192.168.0.2, that way, you can remember it... in the future, i suppose you're gonna want to do more with your server than just run it like a expensive switch!
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> dhruvasagar: are you the owner of all of your $HOME
[06:11] <WXZ> woo, success
[06:11] <rdw200169> nebz: regardless, you can assign bridge0 to receive dhcp instead of eth0.  reference /etc/network/interfaces and read the man file on the interfaces file
[06:11] <_vaibhav_> ActionParsnip: so How I can make it work??
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> rdw200169: having servers at the top end of the network is a good idea as DHCP pools start at the bottom and work up, fewer IP conflicts :)
[06:11] <dhruvasagar> ActionParsnip: I am the only user of this laptop...yes I am the owner of $HOME
[06:12] <dhruvasagar> WXZ: I am glad :)
[06:12] <nebz> rdw200169: ok thx, i think i will change my router settings and set static ip on the server as it seems better
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> _vaibhav_: search for sample xorg.conf files based on that chip description you gave, you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  to get write access#
[06:12] <rdw200169> ActionParsnip: well, if it were me, i would just use the server as the router, and run dhcp from it... NAT on the server is much better for me, but i know what i'm doing to prevent firewall/security issues
[06:12] <_vaibhav_> ActionParsnip: Ahh... Thanks.. :)
[06:13] <john38> Has anybody else here had weak splash screen with 10.10 maverick weird shutdown
[06:13] <john38> why does that happen
[06:13] <rdw200169> nebz: once you can ping the server, i suggest you go to town and install some fancy web servers and monitoring software just to get comfortable with the things you can do with a server, like set up a ftp server, etc...  :)
[06:14] <Silivrenion> now here's the question.. I want to run the monitor shutoff command on one computer, and have another ubuntu computer also run it from that press... is it possible to script up the ssh connection that would cause that to happen?
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> rdw200169: i'd rather have a hard device doing routing so if the server goes down or needs a reboot it doesn't take the LAN with it
[06:15] <dhruvasagar> ActionParsnip: ...
[06:15] <rdw200169> ActionParsnip: and i would completely agree with you if i could afford routers fancier than the servers i can afford!
[06:16] <JackyChao> hello
[06:16] <kuatto> hey guys, running ubuntu here and I noticed somthing weird. running `lsof | grep TCP` I noticed "evince" the pdf viewr had a bunch of tcp connectinos open. is this normal?
[06:17] <_vaibhav_> ActionParsnip: In my Vbox, am getting  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter.
[06:17] <nebz> rdw200169: hehe ya, well i know what to do.. im planing to set it up as a nas with torrent and more, but my linux skills are kinda rusty, not been using linux in awhile, i just wanted to bridge my main client machine becouse i wanted to use the giga card with the server for faster transfer, but soon i think i go buy a new router :) so i can skip the bridge and connect everything throu the router instead
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> _vaibhav_: thats because the video is virtualized
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> _vaibhav_: install the guest additions and you will be ok
[06:18] <_vaibhav_> Okie... Thanks Let me try out by xorg.conf...
[06:19] <rdw200169> nebz: well, once you've got an ip on bridge0 you should have no problems with those file transfers!
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> _vaibhav_: once you install the guest additions, you wont need xorg.conf in the virtual system
[06:21] <_vaibhav_> ActionParsnip: yup!
[06:22] <New0> have a few prob with ubuntu if u can help i will be glad

[06:26] <seidos> what's a good dock to use?  i tried conky and couldn't get it working
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> dhruvasagar: if you run: cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER   it will ensure you are the owner
[06:26] <maco> seidos: conky isnt a dock...
[06:26] <dhruvasagar> ActionParsnip: I said I am the owner...
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> dhruvasagar: is there a bug logged for the activity?

[06:30] <seidos> ah, docky isn't in karmic repositories...forget it i'll just use standard gnome.

[06:36] <seidos> trying to set up a panel-less wm environment, but i'll probably end up going back to standard gnome
[06:37] <New0> *instead
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> I found most all of the 'docks' too limiting..  the latest AWN had some nice features however.
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> I still liked how WindowMaker handled it years ago. Simple 'warf' apps you ran and built your own dock basically.
[06:38] <mkquist> Dr_Willis: just curious on that... how are they limiting?...  no flame, just curious
[06:38] <circlez> seidos: fluxbox is a great wm to go without a panel.  With .fluxbox/keys you can set up keyboard shortcuts to all your favorite apps!
[06:39] <New0> vm=virtual mechine ?
[06:40] <andycc> New0, yes.
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> circlez: totally, fluxbox rocks
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> mkquist:  for most of them You have to work 'their' way  and use their applets.  seems Dock #1 always has some feature Id like in dock #2's, and then dock #4 has a really cool way of doing other things that 1 and 2 need to steal.. (err.. borow)
[06:40] <n2diy> anybody using gEDA for PCB fabricating?
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> Ive ran without a panel for years. :) Us old timers rember the old days.
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> I just use guake to launch stuff, then ALT+TAB to switch between, much easier and fewer used resources
[06:41] <mkquist> Dr_Willis: ok, i think i see what ur getting at, but, I still have to say I'm happy with cairo tho...  i see the 'their way' thing tho...
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: amen (although not such an old timer as some ;D)
[06:42] <cr0ss> Hey, this is a newby question.  I've done crontab -e.  How do I save and exit?
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> cr0ss: what editor are you using?
[06:43] <cr0ss> I don't recognize it
[06:43] <cr0ss> could be vi
[06:44] <cr0ss> What ever it is, it doesn't respond to CTRL+x or CTRL+O
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> cr0ss: i'm not personally conversant with vi, maybe someone else can advise. if you run: export EDITOR=nano    you can use nano, which is much friendlier
[06:44] <cr0ss> Oh...
[06:45] <cr0ss> nope
[06:45] <CaneToad> cr0ss: press ESC capital Z then capital Z
[06:45] <cr0ss> didn't work
[06:45] <cr0ss> nothing
[06:45] <sosaited> why don't you use gedit
[06:45] <cr0ss> freakin' weird stuff
[06:45] <cr0ss> Cause I'm not using a GUI
[06:45] <CaneToad> cr0ss: maybe press control D ???
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> vi --> <esc> :wq       also
[06:45] <cr0ss> That's delete
[06:46] <cr0ss> haha
[06:46] <cr0ss> neither
[06:46] <cr0ss> wtf is this thing!?
[06:46] <CaneToad> if it is emacs, then control X then control C
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> No idea what editor you areusing then. :)
[06:46] <cr0ss> ooo
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> hit escape a few dozen times, then try :help
[06:46] <cr0ss> What's ^KD?
[06:47] <cr0ss> that's the command
[06:47] <cr0ss> that's the stupidest shit I've seen
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> ^ = ctrl key.
[06:47] <maco> !language | cr0ss
[06:47] <CaneToad> ^KD is control K then d
[06:47] <cr0ss> Yea, but what editor would have that?
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> I found some consoel based editor ages ago that was basically like the old dos edit. with menus.. but i forget its name..
[06:48] <cr0ss> shit is a swear?
[06:48] <cr0ss> my lil niece says it...
[06:48] <maco> cr0ss: yes
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> nano uses the ctrl-stuff all the time.
[06:48] <cr0ss> Welcome to the <CENCORED> inet...
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> nano has the ctrl-coded at the bottom of the screen.. its just that beginners often dont realize theat ^ = ctrl.
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> cr0ss:  get over it.
[06:49] <cr0ss> What you talk bout willis?
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> In nano -->  ^O WriteOut
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> in vi -   <esc>:wq
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> in emacs... I forget.. :)
[06:49] <CaneToad> Dr_Willis: ^X ^C in emacs
[06:50] <CaneToad> so cr0ss, try control O control X
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> mcedit - F2
[06:50] <cr0ss> GAR!
[06:50] <cr0ss> Is there a way to edit this in nano?
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> I dont even recall what you are editing...
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> cr0ss: nano to exit and save use CTRL+X, Y, ENTER
[06:50] <andycc> cr0ss, nano is not exactly known for its customizability.
[06:50] <sosaited> If you were creating a new one, it gives an option to chose the editor
[06:51] <quiescens> o.O
[06:51] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: crontab
[06:51] <quiescens> how can people make something so complicated
[06:51] <tracker> does anyone know what is the best book for learning python?
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> andycc: maybe but it doesnt have all that command mode, input mode confusion when you just want to add a few lines to a text file
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> tracker:  theres dozens of them out there. For total beginners - most of them cover the same topics.
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> tracker:  you proberly want a book that you wont outgrow in 5 days. :)
[06:52] <Dr_Willis>  crontab  -e
[06:52] <Dr_Willis>  crontab  -e    --> asks what default editor to use here.
[06:52] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: He said he used that command.. Yeah I said that as well. that he can use nano by selecting it from the option
[06:52] <najirah> pablo
[06:52] <CaneToad> crontab -e doesn't ask here
[06:53] <CaneToad> cr0ss: what editor are you familiar with?
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> nano is the default for crontab -e, if you just hit enter after it asks.
[06:53] <cr0ss> Sorry, I figured it out:)
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> the 'select-editor' command changes your default editor.
[06:53] <andycc> EDITOR=vi crontab -e
[06:53] <sosaited> DOes anyone know of a list of laptops Ubuntu 10.10 supports without a problem? I am trying to get someone to migrate to Linux, but as I can't be there to set it up for her, I need to make sure she wont have big problems with it
[06:53] <cr0ss> env EDITOR=nano crontab -e
[06:53] <cr0ss> used that
[06:53] <cr0ss> worked pretty well
[06:53] <sosaited> cr0ss: Nice.
[06:53] <blakkheim> lol nano

[06:54] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  there are some sites that sell Linux preinstalled laptops..   theres so many laptops out.. the best you can proberly do is find linux laptop reviews and look for ones with the fewest probpeklsm
[06:55] <sosaited> CaneToad: I need to find about Dell Inspiron 1564. Apparently people had problems with 10.04, but I cant find much about 10.10
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  even then.. its always possible theres some bug/quirk/issues with the next OS releases
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> cr0ss: you can add the export ni ~/.bashrc and it will always be set
[06:55] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: small bugs I will be able to fix/work around via RDP. but people couldn't even boot on <10.04 on that laptop
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> cr0ss: ni == in
[06:56] <andycc> cr0ss: or ~/.zshrc if you use zsh, which I wholeheartedly recommend.
[06:56] <cutout> I have a machine, when it start the memory check gives 16 GB, but on ubuntu when I check with free -m command I get only about 4GB of RAM, how can this happen?
[06:56] <sosaited> andycc: Thanks . I'll look that
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> cutout: you are using 32bit kernel
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  with the move to plymouth. for my Nvidia machines I have to use the 'nomodeset' option to get a working GUI to install from. and boot from, Untill i get the nvidia-drivers installed.
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> cutout: install the pae kernel to access the rest
[06:56] <cutout> ActionParsnip: how can I tell?
[06:56] <andycc> cutout: or the 64-bit version of Ubuntu if it's a 64-bit machine.
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> I suggest the 64bit version of ubuntu.
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> cutout: uname -r   i686 == 32bit, x86_64 == 64bit
[06:57] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: I think Dell used to sell a lot of laptops with preinstalled Ubuntu, but apparently they discontinued that?
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> andycc: not always, most 64bit CPU can run 32bit OS
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  theres other sites  that still do. System76 i recall is one.
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  i think dell still does.. but havent looked into them,
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> cutout: if you install linux-image-generic-pae then you wil be able to access all the ram using extra software addressing#

[06:59] <giulia> any idea on how can I solve my problem ?
[06:59] <peturi> Usually it only shows up for the first user who logs on.
[06:59] <cutout> ActionParsnip: the macjine is 64-bit but It has ubuntu 32-bit, is it possible to install the package you sayed? will fix the problem? or do I have to reinstall ubuntu 64?
[06:59] <giulia> peturi, someone will tell you better than me
[07:00] <giulia> but you have to put it in the /usr/share directory
[07:00] <peturi> okay
[07:00] <SwedeMike> cutout: pae kernel will give you access to all memory.
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> cutout:  the pae kernel on 32bit os  -> lets you access all the ram. but if you ever reinstall. Youmay want to use the 64bit version of the OS.
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> cutout: if you install the pae linux image you can address all the ram
[07:01] <cutout> Thanks ALL, do I just "sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-pae"
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> cutout: after running: sudo apt-get update   ,yes
[07:02] <cutout> ActionParsnip: OK thanks
[07:02] <reeniginEesreveR> what is hardened-c++ ?
[07:02] <giulia> well, should I quit Compiz Fusion ?
[07:02] <giulia> I am annoyed with not having the focus for my windows
[07:03] <giulia> I mean, when I don't have my windows in the task bar
[07:03] <giulia> I have to click on Esc to fix it
[07:03] <giulia> but it comes back
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> You may want to try running without compiz going.   alt-f2 -> 'metacity --replace' and see if the system works better..
[07:04] <sosaited> Is it better to install 64-bit or 32-bit Ubuntu 10.10 on Core i3 processor?
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  i always use 64bit OS on sysmtes that are 64bit.
[07:05] <giulia> great Doctor :)
[07:05] <andycc> sosaited: I'd say 64-bit, but I think you'll have problems with Flash.
[07:05] <giulia> you solved my problem :)
[07:05] <giulia> can I offer you a rose ?
[07:05] <cephalopod> random question: does anyone know about irssi config?
[07:05] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: I just read on forums that its better to install 32-bit if you dont have AMD processor. Though that might have been just one mans experience/opinion
[07:06] <sosaited> andycc: Its not me who has to install, someone else who isn't that experienced in computers. But I can RDP in to set up/fix some stuff.
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  ive used 64bit on amd and intel.. - with no real issues for  quite some time now.
[07:06] <sosaited> andycc: The flash problems are fixable?
[07:07] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: Hmm. Notebook or desktop?
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  Yes :) both..
[07:07] <andycc> sosaited, http://nxadm.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/install-64-bit-adobe-flash-player-on-ubuntu-904/
[07:07] <andycc> maybe that helps
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  i have 1 machine now that 32bit. thats the netbook...
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> 3+ Desktops, 3+ Laptops all 64bit
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> The theres that little bitty netbook.
[07:07] <cephalopod> random question: does anyone know about irssi config?
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> cephalopod:  irssi homepage has loads of docs. I havent used irssi much since ive switched to 'weechat'
[07:08] <sosaited> andycc: Thanks andy. I hope though that maverick wont have much problem
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> I much perfer weechat to irssi these days
[07:08] <cephalopod> that might just be the solution
[07:08] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: Hmm. Not even Hibernate/suspend or ACPI problems on Laptops?
[07:08] <cephalopod> thanks
[07:08] <rww> cephalopod: try #irssi
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  i rarely use that feature. I rarely use that feature under windows either.. It can be problamatic depending on your hardware setup. I notice it did work on my new X505 laptop the other day.. but i rarely use it.
[07:11] <sosaited> hmm. ACPI is such a BS thing. I recently chanaged one bit in my BIOS, and both my karmic and lucid wouldn't let me browese, and XP wont even boot. Then I changed it back, and also enabled ACPI 2.0 and Lucid gave a /dev/null error at startup but it is working anyway
[07:13] <WillWill56> I installed apache2 and it came with no modules, but the default apache2.conf file tries to use features from the mod_access module (which isn't installed or built into the binary). Is this meant to happen or am I doing something wrong?
[07:16] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: DId you ever need to use ia32-libs to use some 32-bit apps?
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  Proberly have. but they got installed automatically for flash i belive.
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  so ive never had to worry about it.
[07:22] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  i can only think of a few programs there were 32bit only. and that was some old apps.
[07:25] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: They work fine ?
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> 'they' as in what? I cant recall any specific issues with anything ive had  with 64bit - in perhaps the last 2+ years...
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> zsnes = 32bit only  - the only app i can even recall thats been  affected. :)
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> and theres other 64bit snes emulators out.
[07:28] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: You use something else instead of zsnes now? or compiled it with ia32-libs ? I have absolutely no experience with 64-bit so I need to be prepared when I'll need to set up one for someone else. Especially when you are trying to prove that Ubuntu is better than Windows .:)
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  I imagine you could install the 64bit version of Ubuntu.. and just go... i doubt if you will encounter any issues.
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> Unless you just hae to have zsnes.. :)
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> ive had more 64 vs 32bit issues in windows.. then i have in linux.
[07:30] <obsidieth> if you ignore flash, 64bit is glorious
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> I believe there's a 64bit build of zsnes on getdeb/playdeb
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> i dont really have any flash issues in 64bit either.
[07:30] <circlez> for the record: steam also is 32bit only.  Need the 32bit libs to compile it.
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> obsidieth: there's a 64bit flash ppa
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  that would mean they redid their assembly code. :)  or some how did some tricks to it.
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: not sure, worth a looksee
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> compile steam? I just used wine to install steam. or am i missing somthing...
[07:31] <obsidieth> it was a pain last i tried, but that was some time ago.
[07:31] <circlez> dedicated server
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> There are 64bit versions of flash. but ive not tried them. because ive not needed to.
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> obsidieth: means you can ditch nspluginwrapper :)
[07:32] <obsidieth> the last i saw there was a beta that got pulled
[07:32] <obsidieth> what happened after that?
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> obsidieth: its back :)
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> I think its 10.1 too
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> Not sure
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> Like many people said..  'its not dead... just taking a break'  :)
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: I'm currently dead but have 4 days of break now :)
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> for now the biggest issue i have with anything in linux, is NetFlix not supporting it for their streams. :(
[07:33] <obsidieth> back without the ridiculous security implications?
[07:33] <snehachitre> there must be some channel to ask python doubts. can anyone please tell me the name??
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> snehachitre:  doubts?
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> snehachitre:  #python
[07:34] <snehachitre> i tried that.. it says u need to be registered
[07:34] <rallias> how do i delete files from the command line?
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> snehachitre:  so register your nick.
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> Ha there's a 64bit flash 10.2 ppa
[07:34] <snehachitre> :-O
[07:34] <snehachitre> from where
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> !register
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> snehachitre:  takes all of a few min to reg your nick.
[07:35] <_GoRDoN__> rallias: 'rm filename' for more information type 'man rm'

[07:35] <rallias> kk tyvm
[07:35] <MagusOTB> what do I install in order to be able to build 32 bit things?
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> !be
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> !chroot | MagusOTB
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> !b-d
[07:36] <Dr_Willis> MagusOTB:  the build-essential package installs the basuic compiler tools
[07:36] <h4x0rbOy> hi ubuntu cuntz :D
[07:37] <snehachitre> i ahve to type this HERE?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> h4x0rbOy: keep it PG please
[07:37] <rallias> My server is being stuborn. It is refusing to upgrade to maverick from lucid. How do i correct this behavior?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> snehachitre: type what?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> rallias: use the alternate iso
[07:37] <snehachitre> <</nick snehachitre>>
[07:37] <Dr_Willis>  /whatver are IRC commands.. yes.
[07:37] <ravi> how do i retrieve image in django by using pk as arg
[07:37] <snehachitre> ?
[07:38] <snehachitre> ?
[07:38] <rallias> ActionParsnip: It doesn't have a cd drive
[07:38] <maquis> Is there a way to open a directory in the Unity interface?  I can't even find this directory, and it's in my home dir
[07:38] <sosaited> Where can I request a local mirror for Ubuntu to be changed because the current one (Which is hosted on one of my local uni's site is damn slow. like 9KBps)
[07:38] <rallias> ActionParsnip: The only access I have to it is via an ssh prompt
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> snehachitre:  -->  Registration help available by typing /join #freenode
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> rallias: you can mount isos in linux
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> rallias: you can mount with command line
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> maquis:  make a launcher to open a specific directlry you mean?
[07:39] <maquis> Dr_Willis: that would work
[07:39] <rallias> ActionParsnip: Isn't there an easier way?
[07:39] <Joint> hey how can i check my udev error log and where is located it at?
[07:39] <maquis> I'm just trying to find *some* way to get to it in the gui
[07:39] <Joint> I'm having some errors with it
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> maquis:  'nautilus /path/to/open' as  the command line.
[07:39] <jaco123> google chrome run error help please http://paste.ubuntu.com/524301/
[07:39] <maquis> Dr_Willis: ok... so it has to be accessed from the command-line?
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> maquis:  make a launcher that does that perhaps.
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> maquis:  You could make a icon that runs that command i imagine..
[07:40] <maquis> Dr_Willis: So, what's the point of the folders section of the panel if it ignores most of my folders?  (Just curious... and I don't know where else to ask)
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> rallias: ifits stubborn and you cantdo it I recommend thatway,read the !upgrade factoid link. You need to change the lsb_release file from lts to normal. Why you are upgrading a server from lts is beyond me
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> maquis:  i dont use the netbook interface. so no idea.
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> maquis:  ive not even tried the new netbook interface.
[07:40] <jaco123> google chrome run error help please http://paste.ubuntu.com/524301/
[07:41] <rallias> ActionParsnip: Bug in php that makes my MediaWiki installation extremely slow
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> maquis:  it could be its for the 'special' folders like documents, downloads, and so forth
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> maquis: if you run alacarte and make a launcher it will appear in the remix interface afaik
[07:41] <maquis> Dr_Willis: ah... interesting
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> rallias: shame. Server + lts rocks
[07:41] <maquis> ActionParsnip: alacarte?  ok... i'll look at that.  thanks!
[07:41] <h4x0rbOy> jaco123: Please file a bug report.
[07:41] <rallias> ActionParsnip: Yeah... about that...
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> jaco123: tried the daily build via ppa?
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> maquis:  thats  basically how the places menu in gnome works. You can add a folder tot he sidebar in nautilus, and it might show up there also. drag/drop it to the left side panel in the file manager.
[07:42] <maquis> Dr_Willis: ah.  Interesting.  Thanks!
[07:42] <jaco123> ActionParsnip, no i have not tried the daily build how would i go about doing that
[07:42] <snehachitre> :(
[07:43] <snehachitre> ? :(
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> jaco123: websearch fo: chromium ppa ,you'll findguides galore
[07:43] <snehachitre> with my details?
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> jaco123: its a bleeding edge chrome without all the google tracking stuff
[07:44] <blakkheim> it's not without all
[07:44] <blakkheim> just with less
[07:44] <rallias> Someone hijacked my server and did a sudo apt-get install Ubuntu Desktop. How do I undo that action?
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> Less is ok, personally I don't care either way
[07:44] <greppy> rallias: define "hijacked"
[07:44] <obsidieth> blakkheim: less?
[07:44] <jaco123> ActionParsnip, cheers ill give it a go
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> rallias: uninstall xorg and a lot of it will be removed when you autoremove
[07:45] <obsidieth> what google stuff remains in chromium
[07:45] <rallias> greppy: john'd up my ssh server and broke in.
[07:45] <blakkheim> obsidieth: it has less of the "google tracking stuff"
[07:45] <greppy> rallias: are you sure that is all that they did?  the few times I have had to deal with a rooted server, the best action was wipe it and start clean.
[07:45] <Sanshi> hi, im thinking about to install kubuntu 10.10 on my netbook but im worried about that my cpu (1.6) may to way to slow, is that true?
[07:45] <circlez> How do I unzip a tar.bz2 file?
[07:45] <obsidieth> i thought the 'google tracking stuff' was what made chrome actually different to chromium
[07:46] <obsidieth> chromeium is open sores. how could google have trackign stuff in there.
[07:46] <h4x0rbOy> Hey does Google really track what I do and send this to FBI ???
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> circlez: tar jxvf filename.tar.bz2
[07:46] <rallias> greppy: I hash-checked everything else. That was the only thing they did.
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> h4x0rbOy: maybe not the fbi
[07:47] <greppy> rallias: ok, your call, but I would wipe it.  You should be able to just remove the packages that were installed.
[07:47] <magn3ts> Help!!! I did something and now my QT apps look like crap. http://imgur.com/k4LRb.png
[07:47] <greppy> rallias: you may want to take a look at /var/log/dpkg.log
[07:47] <rallias> greppy: webmin rotated that out allready
[07:47] <greppy> rallias: oof, good luck.
[07:48] <circlez> ActionParsnip: thanks.  tar jxvf?  Need to add that to the cheat sheet
[07:48] <magn3ts> :( :(
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> circlez: zxvf for tar.gz jxvf for tar.bz2 ,there's a single command which looks at the input file and uses the right method. Dr_Willis knowsit
[07:49] <snehachitre> :'(
[07:49] <h4x0rbOy> ??
[07:49] <snehachitre> why is my email adress showing invalid when i am trying to register my nick name
[07:49] <snehachitre> :'(
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> snehachitre: ask in #freenode
[07:50] <snehachitre> ok
[07:50] <rallias> is there a reason that packages.ubuntu.com keeps returning empty responses?
[07:50] <snehachitre> thanks
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> rallias: it may be being updated,try changing servers
[07:51] <rallias> ActionParsnip: :( Uh... oh did I mention I was using google chrome?
[07:52] <rww> rallias: because the server it's on sucks, basically
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> !info unp
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> rallias: not sure. I'm pretty tired so I'm only remembering what's on the 10 lines on this screen
[07:52] <rww> ActionParsnip: the website for looking up package information, not a repository mirror.
[07:52] <rallias> rww: oh.
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> theres proberly 5+ commands taht can unpack an archive automatically. :) i just dont rember them all
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> rww: ah I see

[08:00] <freeday> how to execute script on ubuntu server mysql on vmware? my script is found on drive e:
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> freeday:  what language is the script in?
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> vinus: can you run: sudo apt-get update and pastebin the output please
[08:00] <magn3ts> Dr_Willis, a reboot seems to have fixed it actually. sorry for the false alarm
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> freeday: drive e doesn't mean anything in linux
[08:00] <freeday> myscript.sql
[08:01] <Cairo> when is this channel least active
[08:01] <freeday> for mysql
[08:01] <Cairo> ?
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> freeday:  you have to somehow access your E: from  the virtual machine,..  then you would run it as you would if it was on a local drive i imagine.
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> Cairo:  depends  on the holidays and so forth.
[08:01] <greppy> Cairo: probably around now, but there are generally people here 24/7 as ubuntu is world wide :)
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: this is supportonly, i'd ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> Cairo:  Most active after a new release.
[08:02] <vinus> sudo apt-get update is running

[08:02] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: too right
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> Cairo:  it blacklists them i belive. Ive never had to Manually remove them
[08:03] <Cairo> but did you manually install your driver?
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: no but udev will use the proprietary if it can. You can remove nouveau and nv if you wish
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> Cairo:  clarify what you mean by 'manually' install

[08:18] <jaco123> hey im having trouble with chromuim http://paste.ubuntu.com/524314/
[08:21] <zamba> how can i do a md5sum over a set of files?
[08:21] <zamba> oh, nevermind.. i can use cat
[08:21] <zamba> it just occured to me
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> zamba:  md5sum foo*
[08:22] <jaco123> how can i mount /dev/shm as rw
[08:22] <the_german> hi @ all. I need a mp3tag utility for the CLI! Any ideas?
[08:22] <Dr_Willis>  ls -ld /dev/shm/
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 360 2010-11-02 04:00 /dev/shm/
[08:22] <zamba> Dr_Willis: yeah, but that gives me one md5sum for each file
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> zamba:  so what were you wanting to do?
[08:23] <zamba> Dr_Willis: i want the md5sum for all of the files combined
[08:23] <zamba> Dr_Willis: so i just did cat * | md5sum
[08:23] <_GoRDoN_> jaco123: sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/shm might work
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> zamba:  that seems... weird...
[08:23] <zamba> Dr_Willis: why?
[08:23] <sporedi> when i tryed to login to my vnc server it only ask for host and passwd it did not ask for username how do i fix this issuse
[08:23] <zamba> Dr_Willis: i want to make sure that all files are identical
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> so later.. the sums dont match.. now WHICH file is bad zamba ?
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> Oh.. so thats the actual problem.. :)
[08:24] <zamba> Dr_Willis: then i'll investigate further
[08:24] <zamba> Dr_Willis: especially since i have different sets of files in the directory
[08:24] <jaco123> Dr_Willis, that didnt help
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> jaco123:  what didetn help? I posted the permissions on my /dev/shm    Ive never had to touch the thing.
[08:25] <jaco123> _GoRDoN_, hey could you explian a litle more what is the exatc code i need to remount it in rw mode
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> the idea of remounting /dev/shm seems like there may be bigger issues causing the problem.
[08:26] <jaco123> aprently its one of the packages i have installed a while ago that made it read only
[08:26] <jaco123> no i cant run google chromuim because of that
[08:26] <jaco123> so im trying to change it back
[08:26] <blueghost> 谁帮我换算一下 dpi
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> whats your mount command say abou it..
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> mount | grep shm
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
[08:27] <blueghost> qt4 怎么换算的结果不对
[08:27] <administrator__> ghh
[08:27] <administrator__> hai
[08:27] <rambo3> how do i restart sound server
[08:27] <administrator__> hi

[08:35] <linuxrules> hello room
[08:36] <linuxrules> im on 10.04 on wifi having problems connecting to wiki. anyone else the same?
[08:36]  * greppy has flashbacks to late '90s AOL users connecting to IRC. FYI, IRC has channels, not rooms :)
[08:36] <suigeneris> I have a weird problem. I have a 500 gb usb hdd, and it has like 450 gb of data in it. however, windows sees this as 9gb while ubuntu sees the correct size. any thoughts how I can fix this?
[08:36] <linuxrules> sorry greppy
[08:36] <greppy> linuxrules: which wiki?
[08:36] <linuxrules> just the main one
[08:37] <greppy> ... wiki.ubuntu.com?
[08:37] <linuxrules> is it wiki or me?
[08:37] <linuxrules> wikipedia
[08:37] <greppy> heh
[08:37] <vadi01> suigeneris, ubuntu is never wrong :))) windows brrrrrr
[08:37] <h4x0rbOy> i need to poop
[08:37] <greppy> linuxrules: I can get to it just fine.
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> suigeneris:   what filesystem is the hard drive? whats its partuition layout " sudo fdisk -l "  You may want to pastebin the fdisk output.
[08:37] <suigeneris> h4x0rbOy nobody needs to know
[08:38] <linuxrules> thanks greppy
[08:38] <greppy> linuxrules: might want to bookmark: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> what if   http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> goes down? :)
[08:38] <linuxrules> thanks greppy
[08:39] <greppy> Dr_Willis: then we are all screwed :)
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> the internetz will explode
[08:39] <linuxrules> ive ctrl+d it
[08:39] <llutz-n> linux wll be ready for all desktops then
[08:39] <suigeneris> Dr_Willis /dev/sdb1               1       60801   488384001    7  HPFS/NTFS
[08:39] <Ichat> lol  that would be ammagheddon
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> suigeneris:  you may want to have windows check the filesystem.
[08:40] <progre55> hi guys. I've been getting "perl: warning: Setting locale failed." messages on jaunty. googling didnt help, cant seem to fix the problem. Any suggestions, please? btw, this started when I tried to install some packages from the karmic repos.
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> progre55:  its a warning - so shouldent affect programs.
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> !locale
[08:41] <greppy> progre55: give "sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8" a shot, see if that helps :)
[08:41] <progre55> Dr_Willis: I know, but it's really annoying..
[08:41] <progre55> greppy: thanks, let me try that
[08:42] <EvaLuaTe> hello world
[08:43] <EvaLuaTe> is there a tool to see the current upload/download speed?
[08:43] <progre55> greppy: well, it says they are up-to-date, and the problem still exists.
[08:44] <EvaLuaTe> I don't mean something like speedtest.net, to test the maximum upload/download speed, but rather something that will show the _current_ speeds at which I'm downloading/uploading...
[08:44] <shomon> hi, I would like to resolve a problem with updates I've had for ages:
[08:44] <joeArpaio> EvaLuaTe, system monitor
[08:44] <shomon> I have a wee orange triangle that says my stuff is outdated, caused by network problems
[08:44] <shomon> but when I click it, it says it's all up to date...
[08:44] <h4x0rbOy> Is Ubuntu better than Suse for a linux beginner ???
[08:45] <shomon> so is it up to date or not, and how do I find out for sure?
[08:46] <EvaLuaTe>  joeArpaio, wow, thanks, didn't know the system monitor would do that. Now, is there a way to see this for individual processes (as in, what process currently uses the most bandwith or something like that)?
[08:47] <suigeneris> can I drag several icons in panel at once?
[08:48] <joeArpaio> EvaLuaTe, not too familiar, but you can do a search for bandwidth in synaptic or run "apt-cache search bandwidth | more" in a terminal
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> suigeneris:  as in add several launchers to the pannel at once? or what exactly? Try it and see if you can..
[08:49] <EvaLuaTe> joeArpaio, ok, thanks again :)
[08:49] <sugoruyo> hi all, i have a network consisting entirely of ubuntu server machines and would like to be able to talk to them on the lan using hostnames instead of IPs could anybody point me to some docs or howtos on that?
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> shomon:  try a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then  and watch what it suggests. 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[08:50] <MagusOTB> What's a good graphical (s)FTP client?
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> sugoruyo:  if they are all static ip's you could edit the hosts file on each one. thats teh simpilist way.
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> MagusOTB:  the gnome file manager can do ftp.
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> MagusOTB:  theres many other ftp clients out there. Or use the fuseftp stuff and mout a remote ftp server as a local directory.
[08:51] <MagusOTB> how do I do it with nautilus?
[08:51] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis: that's exactly the approach i wanted to avoid
[08:51] <MagusOTB> oh hey, found it
[08:51] <shomon> thanks Dr_Willis
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> sugoruyo:  then you need to look into setting up a dns/bind server.. id rather edit hosts file.
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> sugoruyo:  how big a network anyway?
[08:51] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis: 4 machines
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> Hosts file would be rather trival then. If you set them all to static ip's or set your dhcp server to always assign the same ip  to each box.
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> thats how my homelan is setup.
[08:52] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis: hosts file is probably easiest, but it's a testbed and configuration is still quite fluid
[08:52] <n2diy> should a joystick show up under lshw?
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> router always gives pc #1 - 192.168.1.101     and so on.
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  perhaps under lsubb
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  perhaps under lsusb
[08:53] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis: they all have static IPs but i'd rather have one place to change name resolution rather than have to go through 4 hosts files
[08:53] <amarcolino> can anyone provide any good guides/links for password policy based on /etc/pam.d/common-password, password character length and password protection... those lines?
[08:53] <h4x0rbOy> "127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomainlocalhost machineNAME"
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> sugoruyo:  you can sync the hosts file  with scp and a script.
[08:53] <n2diy> Dr_Willis: I gameport joystick?
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> sugoruyo:  or other ways...
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  an actual OLD 'game port' type controller?  They still exist? :)
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  you may need to load the proper modules for the gamepad in that case.
[08:55] <sugoruyo> yeah the problem is the hosts file also includes a lot of other stuff like loopbacks
[08:55] <h4x0rbOy> Hi. I have my medical cannabis card, I'm medicated :D
[08:55] <sugoruyo> which pertain only to the local machine
[08:55] <n2diy> Dr_Willis: yep, didn't show up with lsusb, roger on the modules.
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> I just append the new machiens to the end of my hosts file. I rarely touch the stuff above it.
[08:56] <n2diy> anybody using gEDA for PCB fabricating?
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> network manager might alter your  hosts also.. so that may be an issue
[08:56] <sugoruyo> if i can have a separate hosts file included somehow i could put into an NFS mount or something to simplify things but i'd rather not go into ediing startup scripts and the like
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> sugoruyo:  how often are these things going to be changeing? You could always make up a script that scans the network and gets the hostnames :)
[08:57] <Anarhist> hi, i have a question, i've just installed the new ubuntu and there's one very important feature which is missing. i use to press F2 and only the name (not extension) would be highlighted
[08:57] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis: maybe on a weekly basis for now
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> Anarhist:  i recall someone else mentioning that rename bug also...
[08:58] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis: how would i go about scanning the network and getting hostnames?
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> Anarhist:  not seen any fix/settings for it.
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> sugoruyo:  i basically can use 'findsmb' and get a hosts file (with a little editing) but all my machines have samba going.
[08:58] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis: smb is a no-go here
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> and my hostnames are the same as my netbios names
[08:58] <Anarhist> Dr_Willis, thanks
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> I think nmap can scan and get similer info also..
[08:59] <llutz-n> sugoruyo: do you have a router/dns-server in your network? just add the hostnames to routers /etc/hosts or its dns-config then
[08:59] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis: no use for it in my case, i'm setting up a linux only thing, not even GUIs
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> sugoruyo:  sounds like you need to learn some more advanced topics then. :)
[08:59] <sugoruyo> llutz-n: no access to the router it's part of a larger network where i have no say on such things
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> Ive never ran a dns server on my systems.
[09:00] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis: problem is a dns would be total overkill for 4 machines
[09:00] <llutz-n> sugoruyo: things like dnsmasq are easy to setup and make live much easier
[09:01] <llutz-n> life
[09:01] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis: if testing goes well i might deploy on hundred of VMs and dozens of physical hosts where a dns server would be reasonable
[09:01] <sugoruyo> llutz-n: what's dnsmasq's function?
[09:01] <h4x0rbOy> sugoruyo: Please consider DD-WRT on a embedded device on layer 3.
[09:02] <llutz-n> sugoruyo: dns-caching dns-proxy
[09:02] <Salvo> giorno a tutti
[09:02] <sugoruyo> h4x0rbOy: why would i do that?
[09:03] <sugoruyo> llutz-n: looking up dnsmasq on WP & Google seems like the right sort of thing
[09:03] <MagusOTB> because dnsmasq has a config file structure that takes 10 seconds to set up properly and will respond to DNS requests based on /etc/hosts on the server. It's pretty convenient.
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  speaking of joysticks  USB atari 2600 joystick --> http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/retro-gaming/2600/
[09:04] <suigeneris> Dr_Willis no, my menu had been lost and I added it again, therefore all the icons were shifted to the right. now I  need to move all of them to left
[09:04] <h4x0rbOy> sugoruyo: Cause DD-WRT supports DNSMasq.
[09:04] <MagusOTB> it can also serve DHCP as I remember.
[09:04] <loltph> Anyone know of any Ati drivers for 10.10 maverick?
[09:05] <sugoruyo> h4x0rbOy: ok, but i have 4 machines that are always on so why not setup dnsmasq on one of them rather than go get a device to run dd-wrt on?
[09:05] <Dr_Willis> loltph:  it depends on your ati chipset. (i dont use ati)
[09:05] <loltph> x2100
[09:05] <sugoruyo> MagusOTB: sounds exactly like what i'm looking for, i looked at bind but it seems too much for my current needs
[09:06] <blemish> maybe I'm asking this in the wrong channel
[09:06] <sporedi> when i tryed to login to my vnc server it only ask for host and passwd it did not ask for username how do i fix this issuse
[09:06] <blemish> but if I want to send a reply to a particular ubuntu bug
[09:06] <blemish> which address do I send to?
[09:06] <llutz-n> sugoruyo: bind would do too but its overkill for your setup
[09:07] <loltph> Dr_Willis: ATI RADEON XPRESS 1150 Chipset, for a hp nx6325
[09:07] <lorenzo_> join_#ubuntu-it
[09:07] <sugoruyo> llutz-n: yeah that's what i just realized, i'd seen dnsmasq mentioned before but i didn't know what it did
[09:07] <n2diy> Dr_Willis: ok, that page looks like it is going to time out? anyway, lsmod shows the game module is loaded, so I have to look a little deeper here.
[09:07] <lorenzo_> join #ubuntu-it
[09:08] <sugoruyo> llutz-n: do you know were i can find a proper howto for dnsmasq on ubuntu?
[09:08] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  for my old gamepads. I had to load teh moduile for the port. THEN load the module for the actual controller.
[09:08] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  actually it may be just manually loading the modile for hte gamepad may load both..
[09:09] <llutz-n> sugoruyo: no not really, but just have a look at the config-file, its well commented and should make configuring easy

[09:36] <rigved> samosa: if you have a question you can ask it in the channel, and everyone can try to help you
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> Hmm i dont see /bin/false or /bin/null in the /etc/shells file at all.
[09:37] <TheSarge> How do I switch to 32bit color mode? I do not see an option in the monitor screen?
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> $ cat /etc/shells
[09:37] <TheSarge> Is there a way?
[09:37] <nondraj> Dr_Willis: thats list of available shells
[09:39] <samosa> No wireless internet on ubuntu?
[09:39] <fep> samosa: what?
[09:39] <fep> samosa: ofcourse wifi is supported
[09:39] <Dr_Willis> amarcolino:  given that there is no /bin/null   :)  try the /bin/false ?
[09:39] <TheSarge> I think his driver needs to be configured is what he is saying

[09:40] <TheSarge> My virtual box says I am running 24 bit color?
[09:40] <cast> TheSarge: ok?
[09:40] <TheSarge> I see no way to switch color modes in the gui?
[09:40] <TheSarge> Not in the Monitors section
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> TheSarge:  virtualbiox is special. You did install tejh guest addations?
[09:41] <TheSarge> Does anyone know where I can change to 32 bit color?
[09:41] <rigved> !find wifi | samosa
[09:41] <TheSarge> Dr_Willis: never had to before?
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> I was thiniking 32bit color is 24bit + some sort of alpha settings.
[09:41] <TheSarge> No its is millions more colors lol
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> TheSarge:  I always install teh guest addations for vbox - it enables a lot of features.

[09:42] <nondraj> TheSarge: you dont need that
[09:42] <TheSarge> I have never needed the additions before..
[09:42] <rigved> !info wifi-radar | samosa
[09:42] <TheSarge> So does anyone know how to switch color modes?
[09:42] <TheSarge> nondraj: I do not need what?
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> the 'color depth' on my system is 24bit. from what the nvidia drivers say.
[09:42] <rigved> samosa: have you tried wifi-radar?
[09:43] <TheSarge> No one knows a way to switch this lol? In the old days you would edit Xorg.conf or Xfree86.conf?
[09:43] <nondraj> TheSarge: yes
[09:43] <TheSarge> Yes what?
[09:43] <banksy> Just done  10.04 > 10.10 ubuntu upgrade, running startx brings up a black screen with a functioning mouse cursor but nothing else.  Prior to upgrade it would load xfce desktop.  Any idea which log to look in to debug?
[09:44] <nondraj> TheSarge: you still can modify xorg conf for few things
[09:44] <nondraj> banksy: hal
[09:44] <TheSarge> Ok but I am asking how to change the color depth with the GUI...
[09:44] <cast> banksy: what happens if you put your WM in ~/.xinitrc? :)
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> TheSarge:  i think you are confused as to what 24bit vs 32bit colors mean.
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271008
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> 24-bit Truecolor uses 8 bits to represent red, 8 bits to represent blue, and 8 bits to represent green. 28 = 256 levels of each of these three colors can therefore be combined to give a total of 16,777,216 mixed colors (256 x 256 x 256). Twenty-four-bit color is referred to as "millions of colors" on Macintosh systems.
[09:45] <suigeneris> why doesn't karmic have a php5-mcrypt?
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> n reality, 32-bit color actually refers to 24-bit color (Truecolor) with an additional 8 bits either as empty padding space or to represent an alpha channel.
[09:45] <samosa> Not working for me,  idk why :/ how do I get wifi radar?
[09:46] <nondraj> samosa: compile it from source
[09:46] <banksy> cast: you lost me there!  just googling .xinitrc
[09:46] <cast> banksy: well, mine has '/usr/bin/e16
[09:46] <irvken> how can I identify my processor?
[09:46] <cast> '
[09:46] <samosa> are you being serious? :p
[09:46] <cast> irvken: less /proc/cpuinfo
[09:46] <bindi> irvken: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:46] <TheSarge> Dr_Willis: lol no I am not... They are color depths.. it starts at 8bit then 16 then 24, then 32. each one adding more colors..
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> irvken:  cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:46] <rigved> samosa: or you can install it from Software Center
[09:47] <TheSarge> In windows it is a simple drop down next to your resolution..
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> TheSarge: good luck then.. every time ive ever seen someone ask about 32bit colors. they are confusing the terms.
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth#32-bit_color
[09:47] <irvken> what happened to system > preferences > hardware in 10.04 ?
[09:47] <TheSarge> lol yes go read it
[09:47] <TheSarge> you are the one confused lol
[09:47] <irvken> is there an equivalent
[09:48] <TheSarge> Have you ever changed your color depth in windows?
[09:48] <samosa> Is only way to download is from software center, no mirrors?
[09:48] <TheSarge> Or even in linux by editing Xorg.conf in the video modes section?
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> TheSarge:  yes. and the windows box here can do 24bit - the term 32 they have used referrs to 24bit + the alpha channels.
[09:48]  * TheSarge sighs
[09:49] <amarcolino> Dr_Willis, will try that, I saw /bin/null but that was for gutsy I think it got replaced by false but will test it
[09:49] <nondraj> Dr_Willis: he wants +8 bit alpha channels implied !
[09:49] <TheSarge> Nevermind lol I figured out how to do it lol
[09:49] <amagee> hey if i buy a laptop with a vga out and an hdmi out, and i want to use the laptop screen and two external screens, all simultaneously, is there anything i need to watch out for?
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> amarcolino:  i think there may be a more proper way to do it..
[09:49] <dancek> TheSarge, so is your current color depth 24bit?
[09:49] <TheSarge> nondraj: At least someone understands lol
[09:49] <irvken> how can I find how much ram I have?
[09:49] <TheSarge> dancek: Yes.
[09:50] <amarcolino> Dr_Willis, any suggestions are always welcome
[09:50] <nondraj> irvken: free -m and do math !
[09:50] <banksy> cast: can't find ~/.xinitrc, only have .xscreensaver (-getimage.cache) and .xsession-errors (+.old)
[09:50] <cast> banksy: one makes it.
[09:50] <amarcolino> Dr_Willis, what I am doing is removing sheel access from /etc/passwd I don't see the need for those accounts to have them on this specific server
[09:50] <nondraj> irvken: meminfo is the way to go
[09:51] <rigved> samosa: you can visit their website and download it from there: http://wifi-radar.berlios.de/
[09:51] <Dr_Willis> nondraj:  ive have the +8 alpha here. and its called 24bit as far as i can tell under all the tools.
[09:52] <siji> Hi All
[09:52] <TheSarge> Wow virtual box is retarded.. it likes to jump to my focused workspace everytime the screen changes wtf.
[09:52] <nondraj> Dr_Willis: i agree
[09:52] <dancek> TheSarge, I'm quite sure there's no difference between using 24bit vs. 32bit colors in Xorg. Most drivers use 32bit [eg. 8bit padding] with the display adapter regardless of Xorg color depth, and I don't know of a way to utilize the extra 8bits as an alpha channel.
[09:52] <nondraj> TheSarge: thats feature
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> nondraj:  I was thinking the +8 alpha is actually handled by the software some how. but  I guess it dosent matter much.
[09:52] <TheSarge> To get 32 bit mode you just have to create an Xorg.conf
[09:52] <siji> How to enable Multitouch feature of ubuntu 10.10 with Accer Multitouch monitor
[09:53] <dancek> TheSarge, if you can provide a source proving me wrong, I'd be glad to hear it.
[09:53] <nondraj> Dr_Willis: i agree that was irony from my side :)
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> nondraj:  as long as its calling it 32bit i guess hes happy...
[09:53] <dr0id> I installed the lamp-server , but now when I type php in the command line it says -bash: php: command not found , why so ?
[09:53] <rigved> does qemu have support for creating a shared folder between the host OS and the virtual OS? something like virtualbox has...
[09:53] <banksy> cast: that .xession-errors file has a fair bit in it, such as x-window-manager: fatal IO error 11 (resource temporarily unavailabe) on x server :0.0
[09:53] <jiohdi> I overloaded PAN newsreader... now its locked up... how do I remove its data so it will start fresh, or how do I uninstall all of it so it does not leave any data behind for the reinstall?
[09:53] <nondraj> dr0id: thats not proper name
[09:53] <TheSarge> dancek: All I know is my virtualbox was all messed up as far as the colors untill I added the new mode in my Xorg.conf to run 32bit
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  not that ive noticed. You could set up samba in the virtual enviroment.
[09:53] <n2diy> I just built a test box, and I'm trying to move /home to it with gftp, but gftp isn't coping recursively, and isn't creating missing directories, ideas?
[09:54] <dr0id> nondraj: ?
[09:54] <banksy> cast: is the creation of .xinitrc at all 10.04>10.10 related or just part of debugging?
[09:54] <rigved> Dr_Willis: thanx
[09:54] <irvken> the right (and easiest) answer was "install sysinfo"
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  if you have a .xinitrc there used tobe a gdm menu item that would run that as a custome entry instead of a normal desktop
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> jiohdi:  look in your users home dirs for the pan info. and remove/rename it perhaps.
[09:55] <nondraj> irvken: not right :P
[09:55] <dr0id> I installed the lamp-server , but now when I type php in the command line it says -bash: php: command not found , why so ?
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> jiohdi:  removing a package by the package manager. does NOT NOT NOT touch the users settings/data  in their home dir.
[09:55] <banksy> Dr_Willis: I don't have a .xinitrc
[09:55] <dancek> TheSarge, that's very strange but i see your point. I can't really help, I've always had success with virtualized Ubuntu/Debian out of the box...
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  so make one? :)
[09:55] <nondraj> n2diy: scp
[09:55] <jiohdi> Dr_Willis: right, which is a problem
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  example .xinitrc  - 2 lines.. --> xterm &     exec windowmanageryoulike
[09:55] <sugoruyo> Dr_Willis, llutz-n: thanks for the info on dnsmasq, just got a chance to set it up and it works like a charm
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> jiohdi:  start exploreing  Ive not used pan in years.
[09:56] <llutz-n> sugoruyo: life can be so easy :)
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> jiohdi:  perhaps .pan :)
[09:56] <TheSarge> dancek: I am running linux, windows in the virtual box.
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> guest addations in virtual box may of fixed it also..
[09:56] <sugoruyo> llutz-n: :D if you know what you're looking for or where to ask what does what you want done ;)
[09:56] <dr0id> I installed the lamp-server , but now when I type php in the command line it says -bash: php: command not found , why so ?
[09:57] <banksy> Dr_Willis - I use xfce (default on mythbuntu), so is line 2 going to be /usr/bin/xfwm4 ?
[09:57] <jiohdi> Dr_Willis: it was one file in .pan2 called tasks.nzb
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  no idea what xfce uses. but that looks about right
[09:58] <banksy> Dr_Willis: that first line includes the ampersand doesn't it?

[09:59] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  i got the xterm &  in there as a 'failsafe' in case the window manager fails. :)
[10:00] <rigved> if i chroot into an unpacked filesystem (like squashfs) and then if i add/remove programs in it using the package manager, will this also affect my host system?
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  otherwise the X server can startup. then exist. if the wm dosent start.
[10:00] <nondraj> dr0id: you can run it as scripts defining absolute path
[10:00] <dr0id> but it should'nt say command not found

[10:07] <Dr_Willis> red2kic:  empty your trash :)

[10:12] <phasma> it installs a LOT
[10:13] <banksy> Dr_Willis:  Whatever mythtbuntu comes with (9.04>10.04>10.10), which is probably xfce and gnome

[10:13] <StaRetji1> Ubuntu was booting and in between I had power loss. Now, Grub offers me prompt, but actually never times out? Wtf? I mean, shouldn't it autoboot after 30 seconds or something?
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  i imagine mythbuntu comes with a LIMITED set of tools from xubuntu
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  not the full xubuntu-desktop
[10:14] <StaRetji1> I don't have keyboard as it is HTPC, but I will get it. The thing is, I want to avoid this next time, I would just like to autoboot after some timeout.\
[10:15] <banksy> phasma: yes that was a few screens worth!  I said no the xubuntu option.  Will try and find more targeted packages to reinstall - Any ideas?
[10:15] <StaRetji1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/524353/
[10:17] <karthick87> Which is the best video editing software for ubuntu..?
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> StaRetji1:  never seen that happen. unless grub got messed up. perhaps reinstall grub. check its /etc/default/grub file also.
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> karthick87:  depends on your needs.
[10:17] <banksy> Dr_Willis / phasma: is there an apt-get command to get apt to audit what I have, versus what 10.10 mythbuntu should have?  During my past view days with no window manager, I have removed gdm*, and nvidia*, and who knows what else
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop should pull in what mythbuntu uses.
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  the use of the XXXX-desktop packages. is a bit of a kludge in many ways. It makes it easy to isntall lots of things.. but harder to keep track of the things needed for whatver desktop.
[10:19] <karthick87> Dr_Willis, I want to remove all the voice tracks from the video and insert new one..What software would you recommend
[10:19] <n2diy> ok, I have /home synced between this box and my test box, but not all my apps made the trip, should I load them manually with synaptic, or can I rsync some other directories to do the same thing?
[10:19] <phasma> banksy: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mythbuntu-desktop should pull any missing deps back in
[10:20] <phasma> assume that is what you meant?
[10:20] <banksy> Dr_Willis: nice one, some of the 22Mb of packages listed include xfce4-session, xfce-utils, xorg - they sound important!
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> karthick87:  i rarely do that type of editng. theres a few video editor tools out for that.  Check the package manager tools. Ive not used any of them
[10:21] <karthick87> Oke
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> karthick87:  if you jsut want to replace the soundtrack with a differnt one.  and no other changes. then ffmpeg/mencoder/winff can proberly do it also
[10:22] <banksy> Dr_Willis / phasma : what should I do with my custom .xinitrc after the packages are installed?
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> banksy:  to do what exactly?
[10:22] <phasma> banksy: Just back it up and copyover once the install completes
[10:22]  * Dr_Willis missed the final goal.

[10:27] <Dwade09> take it back i have no sound at all
[10:27] <karthick87> Dr_Willis, Thank you :)
[10:28] <zetheroo> is it possible to have more than one Ubuntu One folder on a single computer?
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  each user can have their own  :) does that count?
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  theres #ubuntuone channel also.  I just use UbuntuOne for my tomboy notes.
[10:29] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: oh but not the same user having two accounts logged in simultaneously ?
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  you could login the 2nd user i guess via vnc, or somthing.. and start the ubuntuone service for them. (never tried)
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> figure out how to sync ubuntuone via command line and you could proberly set up several accounts.
[10:30] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: true
[10:30]  * noobuntu hello
[10:30] <drdnght> I'm on a laptop, and my middle mouse button on the touchpad acts like it's the left mouse button, any ideas how to solve/reconfigure?
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> !touchpad
[10:32] <drdnght> my face when you guys guessed the touchpad brand
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> drdnght:  synaptic are rather common.
[10:32] <drdnght> true though
[10:32] <zetheroo> yep ... hehe
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> drdnght:  saw this howto.. but its not ubuntu specific. but it MIGHT give some intereting info to read...

[10:33] <karthick87> How to download a website using wget..?
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> !wget
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> !info gwget
[10:35] <dancek> karthick87, see `man wget` but if you want a single page with all content [images and such], try `wget -r -l1 <url>`
[10:36] <dancek> karthick87, i also often use the switches -np -nd -nc -A<ext> -R<ext> -m
[10:37] <n2diy> when rsynced /home did I screw up xorg-conf? The borders on test box don't go to the edges, and webpages are showing a lot of white space.
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  /home/ dozent touch /etc/xorg.conf
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  could be your home/settings dident get synced right. or permissiosn are wrong.
[10:39] <karthick87> dancek, what is  -A<ext>
[10:41] <n2diy> Dr_Willis: I don't think I have a home/settings dir? Anyway, the screensaver kicked in, and that is full screen, don't know what is going on? Anyway, this box is backed up to the test box, so that is a good nights work.
[10:41] <stupididea> hi everyone ;)
[10:41] <dancek> karthick87, see `man wget` or http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Recursive-Accept_002fReject-Options
[10:41] <zooka> wanna to setup vmware server in mint9
[10:41] <salbito> hello…does anyone know where the deb files are located on an install disc
[10:41] <stupididea> dpkg: warning: files list file for package `mp3blaster' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. <- does anyone know how to fix that?
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  you have  a /home/username  with dozens of setting files and dirs in there.
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> zooka:  see the Mint channels for Mint support.
[10:42] <stupididea> salbito, /var/cache/apt perhaps?
[10:43] <salbito> thank you
[10:43] <n2diy> Dr_Willis: yes of course, I thught you meant /home/settings literally, its late here, and I need some resetting.
[10:43] <salbito> sorry but monitor is crack…only have lower 1 inch of screen so hard to look
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  :)
[10:43] <salbito> cracked*
[10:43] <stupididea> salbito, just have a look, i'm just guessing
[10:43] <blackshirt> salbito: it's live cd disc ??
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> n2diy:  the trend is to start putting things in .config it seems
[10:44] <blackshirt> stupididea: you try install mp3blaster or other thing ??
[10:44] <salbito> i have ubuntu server installed on the box but i need build-essential to build the network drivers
[10:44] <stupididea> blackshirt, i was trying that ... now apt is b0rked
[10:45] <blackshirt> stupididea: update your apt database firtsly...and then try install agains
[10:45] <abhi_> hello all
[10:45] <stupididea> blackshirt, i cannot install anything anymore ... so i'm trying to rebuild that filelist
[10:46] <stupididea> blackshirt, YES thats the plan ... but HOW?
[10:46] <abhi_> how to install unity desktop under Lucid (ubuntu 10.04)?
[10:46] <abhi_> any info.?
[10:47] <abhi_> will this work under desktop?
[10:47] <abhi_> i want to test Unity under my ubuntu desktop
[10:47] <blackshirt> stupididea: try dpkg --configure -a
[10:47] <sosaited> Where did the option to chose PCM as record option go in Lucid?
[10:47] <blackshirt> abhi: i think it was work on ubuntu desktop
[10:48] <stupididea> blackshirt, exitstatus 0 ... but no change
[10:48] <abhi_> blackshirt: how to install it?
[10:48] <JoeMaverickSett> abhi_: i think it will work, if you just install unity-desktop from software center. but tbh, i'm not really sure.
[10:48] <blackshirt> apt-get udpate
[10:48] <abhi_> is this an independent desktop like KDE?
[10:49] <Jiwe> exit
[10:49] <drdnght> yea, about that touchpad issue, I kinda need to reconfigure the buttons
[10:49] <JoeMaverickSett> abhi_: ah, it's unity in software center. i think you can choose when you log in.
[10:49] <Zircon_X> uit
[10:50] <blackshirt> abhi: i don't experience with it
[10:50] <stupididea> blackshirt, didn't help still same error
[10:50] <karthick1987> How to remap a key..?
[10:50] <salbito> hmm….i dont see any debs in /var/cache/apt
[10:50] <salbito> anywhere else they could be?
[10:51] <drdnght> exactly remapping a key
[10:51] <simon_> hi @all does anybody know: can I install Maverick Meerkat behind my LTS 10 System and can I select whom to start then?
[10:51] <blackshirt> salbito: if you want install something packages, just using apt-get or aptitude
[10:51] <salbito> no network
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> simon_:  you mean have 2 ubuntu versions installed on the same system?
[10:52] <simon_> yes
[10:52] <stupididea> any idea how to rebuild filelist for a package?
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> simon_:  grub2 configs are supposed to auto detect that and add proper entries to the grub menus.
[10:52] <salbito> essentiall this is my situation….screen is broken only enough to see max 5 lines at bottom of terminal. so i need to install build-essential to build my network drivers where there i can do everything from ssh
[10:52] <blackshirt> stupididea: i don't know exactly what your problem, but i try figure it out.. can you update your database with apt-get update ??
[10:53] <sosaited> Dr_Willis: Do you know where can I enable PCM recording in Ubuntu Lucid?
[10:53] <drdnght> IRC sure is getting wired
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> sosaited:  not really. ive rarely messed with recording. Proberly some pulse config tools
[10:53] <sosaited> I wanted to record what is being played on my system...
[10:53] <blackshirt> salbito: just issuing sudo apt-get install build-essential maybe help you
[10:54] <salbito> blackshirt: just like i said…no network
[10:54] <stupididea> blackshirt, dpkg: warning: files list file for package `mp3blaster' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. (Reading database ... 60%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:  files list file for package `libc6-i686' contains empty filename
[10:54] <salbito> no sources without network
[10:55] <simon_> does that mean that is possible? because i had some problems with booting with grub with the LTS Version on my acer notebook. my friend solved it but the system works not very fine. so i want to test Maverick meerkat.
[10:55] <blackshirt> ok, salbito.. on debian-like system, deb packages resides on under /pool directory..on your disc too
[10:55] <stupididea> blackshirt, aptitude update is done 30sec ago ;)
[10:56] <salbito> blackshirt: thank you
[10:56] <blackshirt> stupididea: look at /var/cache/apt/archives directory, and remove packages causes trouble..aka libc6-i686
[10:57] <blackshirt> stupididea: and then try again apt-get -f install
[10:57] <karthick1987> How to remap a key..?
[10:57] <drdnght> seconding karthick1987 request
[10:58] <drdnght> howto find inuptkey and then remap it
[10:58] <drdnght> kinda like autohotkey for linux
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> drdnght:  what key are you refering to ?
[10:58] <drdnght> some touchpads have 3 buttons, left, middle, right
[10:59] <drdnght> issue here is, the middle acts like it's the left one aswell
[10:59] <karthick1987> you can find inputkey using xev xommand but how to remap the key..?
[10:59] <M1> By the way, what are the other Ubuntu IRC channels (if any)?
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> drdnght:  mouse keys would be differnt then from keyboard keys.
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> you are awanting to reorder the mouse buttons? switch 2 and 3 or somthing?
[11:00] <drdnght> yea, due some reason xev displays my left mouse button exactly the same ass the middle mouse button
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> That sounds like an odd bug in the drivers for the touchpad. or X is useign the wrng /dev/input device
[11:00] <drdnght> thought so aswell
[11:01] <drdnght> the kicker is, when I plug an usb mouse in, the middle mouse button (on my touchpad) works just fine
[11:01] <stupididea> blackshirt, i cannot remove the package ... it also causes the error
[11:01] <drdnght> so perhaps a reconfigure of the input devices would work?
[11:01] <blackshirt> stupididea: you must root access to remove that..it reside on system file
[11:02] <stupididea> blackshirt, whoami: root
[11:03] <Sabri_> Question 1:  Where's the user list in this client?
[11:03] <karthick1987> Dr_Willis, The key "A" on my keyboard is not working.Can i make some arrangement by which i can use "Z" instead of "A"?
[11:03] <Dwade09> can someone help me on the sound? everytime i want to turn it up or down i have to left click the sound icon at top near the clock, then hit sound preferences then i have to move the output volume bar up or down, i cant just left click the sound icon at the top near the clock and drag the volume bar up or down it wont work how can i fix that?
[11:03] <Sabri_> I'm using XChat-Gnome.
[11:04] <blackshirt> why you cannot remove packages ???
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> karthick1987:  Hmm.. that might get harder.. does it also not work on the Console? ie: its definatly a hardware issue? and not a config issue?
[11:05] <blackshirt> mv /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-i686-*.deb
[11:05] <stupididea> blackshirt, (Reading database ... 60%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: <- thats what scares me ;)
[11:05] <blackshirt> i'm sory, rm /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-i686-*.deb
[11:05] <blackshirt> stupididea: not using apt
[11:06] <bvk> how to fix the IP address to the one I want, in hostname.local resolution when there are multiple IP addresses assinged to a machine?
[11:06] <blackshirt> but remove like aka remove files usually
[11:06] <neha_> hi
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> Dwade09:  i recall having to tweak with that once. had to set the slider to use the pcm  channel vs the 'master channel' but i forget where/when i did this. it was back during beta.
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> Dwade09:  theres the old gnome-mixer-applet (i think) tool that can give you an alterantive icon up there that may work better.
[11:07] <clem> Hello,what is the similar command to rpm -qa?
[11:07] <blackshirt> clem : dpkg -l
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> Dwade09:  nome-volume-control-applet
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> Dwade09: try running the -->  gnome-volume-control-applet
[11:08] <stupididea> blackshirt, ok files moved to secure location ... i'm pretty scared by libc6 ...
[11:08] <clem> blackshirt: Thank you.
[11:08] <djino> Hello. To which folder does apt-get with the -d option save the packages?
[11:09] <blackshirt> djino: downloaded packages reside on /var/cache/apt/archives
[11:09] <djino> blackshirt : thanks!
[11:09] <blackshirt> stupididea: there still problems ??
[11:10] <stupididea> blackshirt, remains the same
[11:10] <Dwade09> Dr_Willis,  thanks ill try it now.
[11:11] <ProNihilist> problem with touchpad on Acer laptop, it works on the login screen but stops working once I login (this makes trying to fix it a bit of a pain)
[11:11] <stupididea> how to rebuild a apt filelist for a package?
[11:11] <blackshirt> stupididea: what are you doing before that ??
[11:13] <till__> how can I change the username in xchat? it seems to always show ~$myusernae@mydns in the whois... no way to change without creating a different user?
[11:13] <stupididea> blackshirt, installing stuff ... wait ... now i remember there was a problem with /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/Unicorp
[11:15] <stupididea> blackshirt, but apt-file returns no answer where that comes from ...
[11:15] <Sandking> hi
[11:16] <Sandking> anyone can recommend an s3 backup utility for ubuntu?
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> Sandking:  s3 means what?
[11:16] <tr3nton> s3?
[11:16] <Sandking> Dr_Willis: Amazon's online storage
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> till__:  check teh xchat configs, and homepage/docs - its proberly setable somehow
[11:17] <till__> Dr_Willis, did, nothing there :-/
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> Sandking:   Never used it. Perhaps check teh forums.
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> till__:  xchat homepage had decent docs at one time..
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> till__:  may be a setting you change via commands.. not the gui
[11:17] <rigved> !info deja-dup | Sandking
[11:18] <Sandking> rigved: thx
[11:18] <blackshirt> stupididea: if apt-get -f install doesn't work, try removing manually file that caused problem..
[11:19] <phasma> anybody recommend a browser similar to dillo that is available in maverick that would be suitable for running over LTSP? Thanks
[11:20] <rigved> Sandking: yrw

[11:27] <DarkStar1> Hello ppl. I changed my appearance theme earlier and lost all my window borders. Restarting hasn't solved anything. how do I re-enable them again?
[11:27] <till__> rigved, should this work with xchat-gnome ?
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> karthick1987:  it has an option to do that
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> karthick1987:  its not the default
[11:27] <iceroot> karthick1987: -r is doing the job
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  'alt-f2   compiz --replace'   as a test
[11:28] <karthick1987> iceroot: thankyou
[11:29] <rigved> till__: sorry i dd not read your earlier post. i am using empathy. i can use drag to open up the userlist. do not know about xchat-gnome, but i think i have used it on debian. no such option...
[11:29] <Sabri_> PHP is not processing php files if the filename and extension are not given.  It just sends the unprocessed PHP script.  How can I resolve this?
[11:29] <DarkStar1> Dr_Willis: Thanks. Alt F2 does nothing. but I assume that's the shortcut to call up the terminal window?
[11:29] <anac> Hi all
[11:30] <till__> rigved, oh okay, no worries and thx ;)

[11:30] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  supposed to be. can you get to a terminal at all?
[11:30] <DarkStar1> yeah
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> karthick1987:  theres like 3 out for linux. best would be to use them all...
[11:30] <linuxrules> i need totroubleshoot m track pad
[11:31] <rigved> DarkStar1: you can set the shortcuts from System > Preference > Keyboard Shortcuts
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  try compiz --replace, or metacity --replace, and perhaps install teh 'fusion-icon' tool.
[11:31] <DarkStar1> gkt-window-decorator -- replace does the same thing but change is only temp
[11:31] <karthick1987> Dr_Willis, What are those threee..?
[11:31] <daincredibleholg> hi
[11:31] <DarkStar1> Dr_Willis: Oh nvm it's persisted the change now
[11:31] <stupididea> blackshirt, no didn't help :( still all the same ... the web says to remove that unicorp trigger but it doesn't help
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> compiz = fancy 3eyecandy,. metacity = no eyecandy. fusion-icon =  a gui helper tool to controll compiz
[11:32] <daincredibleholg> i am searching for the acpi_hp kernel module in ubuntu maverick. regarding to the manpage here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man4/acpi_hp.4freebsd.html it seems as there is such a module available, but i cannot find it at the moment
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> !find acpi_hp.ko
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. cant find it here either.
[11:33] <DarkStar1> !install login theme
[11:33] <lluoc> \quit
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  gdm2 the login manager. is not very themeable. there is a few tools out that let you tweak it a little bit. 'gdm2setup' is one such unofficial tool
[11:34] <blackshirt> stupididea: can you completely paste your output apt-get -f install command... i want to know..
[11:34] <Sabri_> Where should I go for help with PHP on Ubuntu?
[11:34] <DarkStar1> Dr_Willis: YEah been googling and getting nowhere fast
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  i dont find it worh bothering with - other then to change the wallpaper.
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> I still wonder at who ok's these default wallpapers...
[11:36] <DarkStar1> Dr_Willis: Yeah It's just that there are some cool wallpaper art at http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter and I'm getting fed up of the same purple window
[11:36] <rigved> daincredibleholg: doesn't the link at the top give you the kernel module (it gives the file packaged as a .gz, i think)
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> wallpaper is trivial to change for the LOGIN screen.
[11:36] <tr3nton> karthick1987: apparently there is clamtk for a gui... but maybe take a look at this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus , might be helpful

[11:41] <rigved> waza-ari: use rename from CLI
[11:42] <blackshirt> anyone here had experienced with apt-build ??
[11:42] <waza-ari> rigved: i dont have that much experience with regex/perlex
[11:43] <uLinux> hello
[11:43] <waza-ari> rigved: forget it, its the first example in the manpage... thanks :)
[11:43] <rigved> waza-ari: yes
[11:45] <rigved> waza-ari: rename 's/\.rar.html$//' *.rar
[11:45] <tr3nton> waza-ari: something like  for i in *.html; do mv $i ${i%.*}; done
[11:46] <waza-ari> yeah, i found it in the manpage - but in fact i hat to use rename 's/\.html$//' *.rar.html
[11:46] <rigved> waza-ari: ok, i got it. it's the other way around
[11:47] <waza-ari> yep. okay, thanks rigved, and thanks tr3nton, i solved it using rename :)
[11:47] <waza-ari> bye then

[11:52] <DarkStar1> Anyone know when the fabled gnome 3 is slated for release?
[11:53] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  the next ubuntu release dosent seem it will use it by default :) so no idea.
[11:53] <tr3nton> Dr_Willis: I didn't think there were any intentions to use it by default?
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> tr3nton:  Its still early.. they could change their minds 100 times in the next 5 mo...
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> I will mention that KDE in 10,10 - has gotten VERy good.
[11:55] <tr3nton> Dr_Willis: ah yes. fair point! Just thought they seemed very committed to unity, they I couldn't see that they would change their minds back
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> tr3nton:  like they did with the 'move buttons to the left for no real reason at this time' :)
[11:57] <tr3nton> :D
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> tr3nton:  the next release will be.... interesting.
[11:58] <tr3nton> yeah
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> but for now we have to watch the ubuntu guys and the gnome guys  make snide comments at each other. :)
[11:58] <tr3nton> lol
[11:59] <blackshirt> :d
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> Im so old i see circual patterns in OS devlopment..  The netbook screen shots.. remind me of my old C64 GEOS :) simple laid out icons on pages.
[12:00] <sebsebseb> DarkStar1: Gnome 3 March 2011
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> sebsebseb:  will we able to set actual screensaver settings with it? :)
[12:00] <DarkStar1> sebsebseb: Where'd you find that info?
[12:01] <daincredibleholg> rigved, yes - but the name indicates that it is the "traditional" bsd source, isn't it?
[12:01] <sebsebseb> DarkStar1: and Ubuntu will be the only distro that will be using Unity instead of Gnome Shell next year it seems
[12:01] <ZykoticK9_> Dr_Willis, gnome is dead - long live gnome.  But seriously, the interface would probably work very well for touch screens (i like it on my netbook, not so wild about it on my desktop)
[12:01] <bumblebee> .blender
[12:01] <TimothyA> I have a question; where does the weather gadget in ubuntu get its information from?
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9_:  touch screens.. another thing i see pop up, then fade away...
[12:01] <bumblebee> !blender
[12:01] <sebsebseb> DarkStar1: Gnome Shell will be in the repo like it is now though, but  may as well use other distros, if not going to use Unity, thats what I think :)
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9_:  wife dident like the touch screens when whe was in teh store last week..
[12:02] <ZykoticK9_> Dr_Willis, honestly, i've never tried any computer-touch screen devices - not an area of interest for me really
[12:02] <tr3nton> so its going to be effectively the same as the netbook edition?
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9_:  if they made Farmville easier to play - they would take over the market in a week.. :)
[12:02] <sebsebseb> DarkStar1: you can get that kind of info from the Gnome site I guess, but I know since I get told stuff on IRC and read stuff on the web :)
[12:02] <DarkStar1> I love to eat oily food and touch screen... So sexy :)
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> tr3nton:  its suposed tobe changed for desktops...
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> tr3nton:  so similer.. but differnt.
[12:03] <sebsebseb> tr3nton: it will change for the desktop version, even use Compiz instead of Mutter
[12:03] <tr3nton> oh.. so netbook doesn't use compiz?
[12:03] <alloosh> hello, since I upgraded to 10.10 the spell check in firefox and thunderbird is not working, am I missing something?
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> tr3nton:  in 10.10 its using mutter.
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> !info mutter
[12:04] <DarkStar1> Gotta bounce peeps. catch ya later
[12:04] <tr3nton> will there be a desktop? from memory, the netbook doesn't really have one... i.e. minimze all apps to see the desktop
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> tr3nton:  not in the normal sence.. No.
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> theres been an anti-desktop (place junk accumulates) movement for some time now. :)
[12:05] <sebsebseb> Dr_Willis: uhmm?
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> 'junk dwarer' vs desktop. :)
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> its scary when i see people with 200+ icons on their desktops.
[12:05] <tr3nton> sounds ghey
[12:05] <tr3nton> lol
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> Desktop is not that good an idea in many ways. it just gets to be a Junk yard.
[12:06] <sebsebseb> Dr_Willis: yeah loads of icons on the desktop is so Windows
[12:06] <tr3nton> but you get to see the pertty wallpaper!
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> but its not a wall.. its a desktop...
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> :)
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> take a picture of the wall behind your pc/monitor. and set that as your wallpaper.. make it look like you got 'x-ray' monitor
[12:07] <tr3nton> yeah on my actual desktop I also have 200+ post-it notes to mimick the computers desktop
[12:07] <tr3nton> j/k
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> we need to revitilize the 'set a webpage as a desktop wallpaper/image'  gimmic that  pops up every so often. :)

[12:19] <napster> theadmin: thank you :)
[12:19] <jaked> hi, is it possible in the ubuntu installtion (with the alternate disk) to manually set a mount option? (I want  to install ubuntu into an btrfs partition using compress)

[12:20] <napster> Mrcheesenips: ok thank you
[12:20] <theadmin> napster: Yeah %) It's a system-wide app... for one user, I think there should be some other way, but no idea. Except maybe trough Gnome's settings
[12:20] <Mrcheesenips> Usually when it says ""Permission denied" it wants sudo
[12:20] <Mrcheesenips> I'm my experience
[12:20] <napster> theadmin: thank you

[12:25] <freeday> how to change drive to hard drive in ubuntu server?
[12:25] <h4writer> Hi, yesterday I tried to upgrade my computer from LTS to 10.10, but during the progress my power was cut, so was unfinished. I restarted my pc and started in commandline. There I had to sudo dpkg --configure -a. After that I noticed if I use the newest kernel I go to commandline (gdm doesn't work) if I use the kernel of the lucid I can do everything. Any idea's how come and how to solve it?
[12:25] <theadmin> freeday: Sorry, what?
[12:26] <freeday> i need to view files on the hard disk...
[12:26] <freeday> cd /media?
[12:26] <theadmin> h4writer: Run the upgrade again. new kernel ain't gonna work with Lucid.
[12:26] <theadmin> freeday: mount DEVICEID FOLDER

[12:26] <napster> brightness hotkeys are not working! How can I fix it?
[12:27] <freeday> ok ill try
[12:27] <tango> h4writer I had same problem  did a fresh install
[12:27] <h4writer> theadmin, but I don't get any option to run the upgrade again?
[12:28] <theadmin> h4writer: huh. Does this one work? su-to-root -c 'do-release-upgrade'
[12:28] <h4writer> theadmin, let me try
[12:28] <tango> h4witer  I downloaded a full version of 10.10 and used that disk
[12:29] <pavan> hi sorry, I didn't expect the error was so lengthy
[12:29] <h4writer> theadmin, is sudo the same of su-to-root? (cuzz su-to-root ain't installed here)
[12:29] <pavan> theadmin are u there
[12:29] <theadmin> h4writer: So they removed it... last Ubuntu I used was Lucid, sorry.
[12:29] <theadmin> h4writer: Yes, you may use sudo if it's configured on your system
[12:29] <theadmin> pavan: Yeah
[12:29] <karthick87> If i want to download this url "http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-enable-remote-desktop-connection-in-windows-7-home-premium-edition/" alone with wget what syntax is hould give..?
[12:30] <pavan> theadmin: what do u suggest for my problem?
[12:30] <theadmin> karthick87: wget 'url' -O file.html
[12:30] <h4writer> theadmin, it says 'no new release found'
[12:31] <theadmin> h4writer: Well, that's pretty messed up -_- I guess you should restore from your backup, or reinstall.
[12:31] <theadmin> h4writer: Or... wait. It might identify the release as Maverick already. Try "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[12:32] <kresp0> Hi, I'm having problems to connect to an AP... WITHOUT the network-manager. More info here: http://pastebin.com/Vv7pSCrH
[12:32] <kresp0> thanks
[12:32] <h4writer> theadmin, well 0 upgrades, 0 newly ... 0. The sources already points to the mav.
[12:33] <theadmin> ...apt-get is the ubuntu's package manager, right? %)
[12:33] <ikonia> yes
[12:33] <theadmin> ikonia: I heard they wanted to replace it with aptitude, so had to make sure.
[12:34] <pavan> so any solution for my question?
[12:34] <datta> how do i use ffmpeg so that the video file is 700mb?
[12:34] <ikonia> theadmin: I believe that is the long term plan, not happened yet
[12:34] <jrib> !helpme | pavan
[12:34] <datta> i cannot find a option to do this
[12:34] <yao_ziyuan> does ubuntu open up bittorrent ports by default?
[12:35] <theadmin> datta: You want to split the file? Use the "split" command...
[12:35] <ikonia> yao_ziyuan: nothing is blocked by default
[12:35] <datta> theadmin: can't i set up the codecs so that it becomes 700 mb?
[12:35] <horrible> datta: you can, set the bitrate accordingly
[12:36] <_sudo> :)
[12:37] <datta> horrible: i tried a avidemux but it does not fit the size into 700 mb. i do not want to change the bitrate
[12:37] <theadmin> hm, speaking of. Just wondering whether other package management systems (specifically, zypper and yum) work with Ubuntu
[12:37] <horrible> datta: well changing the size = changing the bitrate
[12:37] <_sudo> who asked about irssi before?
[12:37] <flh> 大家好。可以请教debian问题吗？
[12:37] <greppy> !cn | flh
[12:37] <horrible> datta: if you don't understand this, then we can't help you
[12:38] <datta> horrible: oh sorry never knew that before, i thought changing the bitrate will make the video and audio go at two different possitions
[12:38] <theadmin> flh: 没有，只有Ubuntu的。对于Debian的具体问题，请造访的debian.
[12:38] <flh> 谢谢
[12:38] <theadmin> Hope that made some sense :D
[12:39] <h4writer> theadmin, would it be possible to trick update-manager that it is still lucid and try the upgrade again?
[12:39] <horrible> datta: the bitrate is the number of bytes per second
[12:39] <kresp0> anybody has a clue about how can i associate with an ap using iwconfig without network-manager? See this: http://pastebin.com/Vv7pSCrH
[12:39] <datta> horrible: thank you
[12:39] <theadmin> h4writer: hm! Modify /etc/lsb-release correspondently. Try that, I currently can't say how (am using SuSE, and at tha moment - Windows), but it shouldn't be too hard.
[12:39] <MangledBody> hi everybody!!!
[12:39] <h4writer> theadmin, ok I'll try
[12:40] <MangledBody> I've got a question... Can anyone recommend me an alternative to Adobe After effects for Ubuntu??
[12:40] <salbito> does build-essential not come with ubuntu-server?
[12:40] <MangledBody> I found just Jahshaka, but I can't install it :(
[12:40] <jrib> salbito: not installed by default
[12:41] <StaRetji1> I've just checked /etc/default/grub and notices this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash xbmc=autostart,nodiskmount,setvolume loglevel=0 video=vesafb"
[12:41] <StaRetji1> video=vesafb is for what?
[12:41] <salbito> how can i install it off the server install?
[12:41] <jrib> !apt > salbito
[12:41] <theadmin> StaRetji1: Forces the usage of vesa driver.
[12:41] <MrsB> kresp0: have you tried with 'ap'
[12:41] <MangledBody> anyone...?:)
[12:41] <kresp0> MrsB, nop
[12:41] <salbito> without network
[12:41] <jrib> !helpme | MangledBody
[12:41] <StaRetji1> theadmin: hm, but is it before you actually boot ubuntu?
[12:42] <theadmin> StaRetji1: It's a grub option, so.
[12:42] <salbito> how can i install build-essential with all of its dependencies right off the server install disc?
[12:42] <StaRetji1> theadmin: I mean, I guess when I boot proper driver is selected (ie intel)
[12:42] <MangledBody> jrib: OK...
[12:42] <kresp0> MrsB, i'll try and then i'll back here
[12:42] <kresp0> thank you
[12:42] <MrsB> good luck
[12:42] <theadmin> StaRetji1: I guess it's sorta like Gentoo's "nox" option which disables GUIs, and is a grub parameter as well %)
[12:42] <jrib> salbito: do you know how to use apt?
[12:43] <kresp0> MrsB: ap: not found
[12:43] <salbito> yes i know how to use apt
[12:43] <kresp0> ahh, ok
[12:43] <kresp0> iwconfig ap
[12:43] <salbito> are you saying just go to command line after install and run it from there?
[12:43] <jrib> salbito: if you want to install build-essential, install build-essential, yes
[12:44] <h4writer> theadmin, hmmm it did all sorts of things. Gonna restart now to check if it worked
[12:44] <MrsB> kresp0: man iwconfig shows you some examples
[12:44] <StaRetji1> theadmin: I'm confused, should I remove it, leave it. If it doesn't affect my intel950gma driver it's ok, but if force ubuntu to use vesafb, that sux :/
[12:44] <theadmin> StaRetji1: Remove it then
[12:44] <flh> 请教：ubuntu 10.4最小安装，再xorg,fluxbox,如何直接登录？只修改/etc/init/tty1.conf  及/usr/bin/autologin  失败了？
[12:44] <StaRetji1> theadmin: thx
[12:44] <kresp0> MrsB: ok, thanks. I'm trying
[12:44] <Tonus> !cn | flh
[12:45] <jrib> salbito: oh you said "without network" later (try to keep things on one line and address me if you're replying to me).  Is the build-essential package on the cd?  I don't know if this is the case.  In that case, just add the cd as a repository and then use apt
[12:46] <theadmin> flh: 请访问了ubottu点#ubuntucn作为。
[12:46] <theadmin> #ubuntu-cn*
[12:46] <huangwei> hi

[12:47] <flh> exit
[12:47] <huangwei> ni men zai gan sm ni
[12:47] <theadmin> h4writer: No prob, just some blind guessing
[12:48] <h4writer> theadmin, now update-manager is still showing the upgrade to 10.10. Should I do it or just update /etc/lsb-release to 10.10?
[12:48] <theadmin> h4writer: Do the upgrade. It has to finish, right?
[12:48] <pksadiq> I have found some thing in Lucid that could be called as a bug, I need some one to confirm it
[12:48] <burhan> pksadiq: check lp

[12:49] <theadmin> h4writer: Honestly I dunno %)
[12:49] <h4writer> theadmin, well I'm gonna try :P
[12:49] <pksadiq> burhan: lp? launchpad?
[12:49] <theadmin> karthick87: Hm, try this: "httrack http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=77107906". httrack has to be installed with "sudo apt-get install httrack" beforehand
[12:50] <karthick87> what about wget..?
[12:50] <azarian> hallo
[12:50] <h4writer> theadmin, well it errors that it is already upgraded, so I'll update the file ;-)

[12:56] <pksadiq> If I select "copy disc" from Computer> Right click On CD/DVD, Until I press Copy I couldn't select any of the files/folders in any nautilus window, Is this too a problem in 10.10?
[12:57] <theadmin> pksadiq: Please refrain from repeating too often
[12:57] <UndiFineD> coder2 : usb should be left to (G)VFS automount
[12:58] <pksadiq> theadmin: Ok, but waiting for someone to check it and answer
[12:58] <coder2> UndiFineD: can u tell me how to do that
[12:58] <theadmin> coder2: It's automatic. You don't.
[12:59] <coder2> UndiFineD: lastly i was having problem withkernel panic not syncing
[13:00] <theadmin> coder2: That happens when you boot off USB randomly, or when something's wrong with the hard disk.
[13:00] <coder2> theadmin:i was having a trouble with kernel something called kernel syncing panic
[13:00] <mapd> hey is there a way for grub to generate a new .cfg
[13:01] <mapd> ?
[13:01] <theadmin> coder2: Did the message look like "? Kernel panic: NOT SYNCING! \n System halted."
[13:01] <theadmin> mapd: sudo update-grub
[13:01] <theadmin> coder2: (\n is a linebreak)
[13:02] <raidghost> the jungle of laptop is to high and to hard.
[13:02] <coder2> theadmin: there was a lot more u can find it on google,please just check it out  with filesystem not found+kenel panic+not syncing
[13:03] <theadmin> coder2: I know, it also produces a ton of debug output. It happens with hard disk problems, mainly.
[13:03] <coder2> theadmin: then i applied some fix on that afterwards this problem occured
[13:04] <mapd> theadmin i did and it cant detect my dual boot
[13:04] <mapd> it doesnt add the windows line
[13:04] <coder2> theadmin: and some of applications like chrome and diskutility stopped working
[13:04] <theadmin> mapd: Oh. Hmph. Can't help here :(
[13:05] <coder2> theadmin:i have also installed here windows7 on the same laptop
[13:05] <Propel> anyone had any issues installing a windows printer into ubuntu?
[13:06] <theadmin> Propel: There is no such thing as a "windows printer".
[13:06] <theadmin> Propel: You mean a Microsoft one?
[13:06] <Propel> i should rephrase that lol
[13:06] <mapd> theadmin whats this (hd0,msdos5)
[13:06] <mapd> ?
[13:06] <theadmin> mapd: Disk 1, partition 5.
[13:06] <coconutz> im trying to install mcrypt php5 , i got 5.2.10-2 and ubuntu 10 ... but i cant success? its returns me : Package php5-mcrypt is not available, but is referred to by another package This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted
[13:06] <Propel> what i mean to say is i have this HP all in one printer that needs to be installed onto the OS by the HP CD
[13:07] <mapd> theadmin but "msdos"
[13:07] <mapd> ?
[13:07] <Propel> it seems as though it only works under windows and mac
[13:07] <Propel> not sure if wine can handle th einstallation process
[13:07] <theadmin> Propel: Oh. This ain't gonna work with these drivers... Wine wouldn't cut it
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> Propel:  thate proberly because the linux drivers and tools for it are in the package manager...
[13:07] <theadmin> mapd: Well, you have a MBR partition table, right?
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> Propel:  theres no need to use the cd.
[13:07] <JoeMaverickSett> Propel: i've a hp all-in-one f2410 deskjet but it works without that need to install from cd.
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> !info hplip
[13:07] <Propel> yeah, willis. i figured why wold you need a CD? should be plug and go
[13:08] <theadmin> mapd: If you'd have a Mac or a GPT-style table I would be surprised :D
[13:08] <mapd> why theadmin?
[13:08] <Propel> joemavericksett, i have the f4135 deskjet
[13:08] <mapd> because of bsd?
[13:08] <pksadiq> If I select "copy disc" from Computer> Right click On CD/DVD, Until I press Copy I couldn't select any of the files/folders in any nautilus windows, Is this a problem in 10.10 too?
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> Propel:  my printers are plug and go... well Ubuntu downloaded some stuff from the repos...
[13:08] <Propel> you recon i sould be fine?
[13:08] <airtonix> Propel, have you even tried yet ?
[13:08] <Propel> nope
[13:08] <Tagren> heh
[13:08] <airtonix> Propel, then save the doom and gloom till it fails
[13:08] <theadmin> mapd: Cuz of "msdos". MBR partition tables are reffered to as "msdos" by Linux tools, some of em.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  is this a comercial video dvd?
[13:08] <JoeMaverickSett> Propel: i plugged it and it detected.
[13:08] <Propel> lol just woondering before i switch over to ubuntu
[13:09] <mapd> theadmin its first time i saw this
[13:09] <Propel> ight. good to know joemavericksett
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> HP stuff is normally decently well supported.
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> Canon  - HOWEVER.. is often a pain.
[13:09] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: it's Just the Ubuntu Server CD
[13:09] <airtonix> Propel, i often find my life is much happier if i spend less time worrying about trivial matters
[13:09] <theadmin> mapd: Hm. Well, try replacing that with "hd(0,5)" if you want.
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  you could use the dd command.. 'dd if=/dev/sr0 of=ServerCD.iso'
[13:09] <Propel> airtonix, i should heed that advice :(
[13:09] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: I'm just asking whether this is a bug?
[13:09] <brontosaurusrex> is there a parental control mechanizem in existance, the one that requires just some clicks?
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  no idea. Ive never tried it that way. :)
[13:09] <airtonix> Propel, indeed, it takes more energy to frown.
[13:09] <theadmin> brontosaurusrex: What do you want it to do? %)
[13:10] <brontosaurusrex> due to kids
[13:10] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: Could you please try it now?
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> brontosaurusrex:  to controll what exactly?
[13:10] <brontosaurusrex> Dr_Willis, porn
[13:10] <airtonix> Propel, that aside, does the printer have a lan port ? or is it just usb ?
[13:10] <Propel> willis, works just as it was on windows?
[13:10] <Propel> usb and power
[13:10] <theadmin> brontosaurusrex: pfftcht. Use hphosts.
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> Propel:   I find printing works better on Ubuntu then in windows.
[13:10] <Propel> ha! nice :)
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> Propel:  128mb driver install on windows for a printer.. vs.. about a 1mb diwnload on linux....
[13:11] <mapd> isnt there makeactive +1 anymore?
[13:11] <pksadiq> !great
[13:11] <theadmin> brontosaurusrex: sudo wget http://www.montanamenagerie.org/hostsfile/hosts.txt -O /etc/hosts
[13:11] <Propel> :)
[13:12] <miha> can somebody tell me how to make .patch ?
[13:12] <brontosaurusrex> theadmin, the list of ips? isnt there something a bit more inteligent? or is that really the way to do it?
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> miha:  normally by use of the diff command on  your code.
[13:12] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: did you check? please
[13:12] <miha> sure, i have two .java files, how to make patch?
[13:12] <miha> :)
[13:13] <theadmin> brontosaurusrex: Not exactly. It just points all those domains to 127.0.0.1... Actually, I'd make that 0.0.0.0, but that's just me :D
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  i got no disks handy to even copy... other then comercvial video dvds
[13:13] <brontosaurusrex> theadmin, yes i understand
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> heres one. :)
[13:13] <mapd> i needed boot+
[13:13]  * mapd hates grub2
[13:14] <mapd> any way to delete old kernel and such?
[13:14] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: I mean, at the time you just select the copy disc option, minimize that and open any other nautilus window and check whether you can select files/ folders there, that's all
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  it let me make a copy to /home/willis/brasseri.iso just fine
[13:14] <coconutz> help?
[13:14] <B-r00t> mapd: go to synaptic and search for linux-image
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  youy mean the disk copy dialog is 'blocking' the use of nautilus?
[13:15] <coder2> theadmin: any solution for my problem???
[13:15] <theadmin> coder2: Sorry, no idea.
[13:15] <mapd> damn
[13:15] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: yes, that is what I mean
[13:15] <mapd> the same get_pwuid erro
[13:15] <mapd> :|
[13:15] <Daniel___> Can someone help me? I have burnt 3 cds of ubuntu 10.10 when i restart it starts booting then after some minutes i see parts of my windows desktop in random places of the screen, this have never happend before :( any suggestion?
[13:15] <coder2> theadmin: ok no problem
[13:15] <zubin71> hi guys, i was trying to boot up ubuntu(10.10) from the pendrive. I used usb-creator. however on booting from the usb, i get a prompt saying "boot:". what am i doing wrong?
[13:16] <B-r00t> zubin71: press enter xD
[13:16] <brontosaurusrex> theadmin, that hosts file wont even survive basic language barrier, like: sex vs seks
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  nautilus just now crashed when i cancled the copy. and tried it again. :)
[13:17] <coder2> my cdrom and pendrives are not showed in system
[13:17] <absence> i have an old cdr with rock ridge extensions, but the filenames are encoded with a different charset than the system, so i get weird filenames and errors. i tried adding the iocharset option when mounting, but nothing happens. is it possible to have mount (or anything else) convert the filenames to utf8?
[13:17] <coder2> help
[13:17] <theadmin> brontosaurusrex: Gosh :/ If these people want this porn, let em view it %) All in all I'm not sure there is a system for this.
[13:17] <brontosaurusrex> theadmin, seems to be google based
[13:17] <zubin71> B-r00t: tried that, lemme check again.. thanks!
[13:17] <Daniel___> So no one have any suggestion on what todo? :/
[13:17] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: After you select Copy disc By right clicking, don't select The copy button , but just minimize that, then test
[13:18] <llutz> brontosaurusrex: that hosts-file is just a collection of known pr0n-sites.
[13:18] <coconutz> im trying to install mcrypt php5 , i got 5.2.10-2 and ubuntu 10 ... but i cant success? its returns me : Package php5-mcrypt is not available, but is referred to by another package This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  looks like nautilus is using some sort of lock/modal dialog.  correct. File manager is 'waiting' untill you dismiss/continue the copy dialog one way or another.
[13:18] <coconutz> any ideas?
[13:18] <brontosaurusrex> llutz, of course...
[13:19] <julian> hi all
[13:20] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: Can this be filed as a bug?, or Is it already submitted as a bug, If not , please Carry on
[13:20] <minh> I'm trying to ssh into a local virtual machine (both host and guest running ubuntu) - however I want to be able to do this even when not having internet acesss
[13:20] <minh> I tried to give the host and guest machines static ip-addresses for eth0...
[13:21] <minh> So i'm able to log in via ssh...but after the first command the connection freezes
[13:22] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[13:22] <dli> minh, what's the guest os?
[13:22] <minh> After the freeze I have to kill the entire terminal session...once setting up the host's static ip AGAIN, it'll work for another single command...and will freeze again
[13:23] <pksadiq> !guestos
[13:23] <minh> dli: both ubuntu
[13:24] <dli> minh, what's the host NIC interface to be paired with guest?
[13:24] <minh> dli: what's NIC?
[13:24] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: checked for the bug at Launchpad?
[13:25] <dli> minh, network interface
[13:25] <minh> dli: I do set static IPs for eth0 on both sides
[13:25] <Samuel> hello
[13:25] <commodoor> Hi is it possible to encrypt usb stick in Ubuntu, and when it mounts it auto decrypts it. The stick is Ext3 ???
[13:25] <airtonix> minh, no they mean : are you in bridge or NAT mode ?
[13:25] <minh> dli: e.g. ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.1/16 on host...and ifconfig 10.1.1.2/16 on guest
[13:25] <dli> minh, I suppose the host side eth0 is a hardware device
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> Propel:  I dont have a fancy HP printer. but i thought the hplip tools managed all that stuff.
[13:26] <theadmin> commodoor: See www.truecrypt.com - a great encryption software. But, you'll have to format it.
[13:26] <Propel> hplip, from ubuntu?
[13:26] <Samuel> i have downloaded nvidia kernel + glx but when i edit xorg.conf it fails to restart X
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  that could be the way that copy image script is working. not sure if its a normal naugilus feature or a scruiot
[13:26] <JoeMaverickSett> Propel: hplip from synaptics package manager.
[13:26] <minh> airtonix, dli:  oh, I set virutalbox to use bridged interface...and once again: I DOES WORK for a single command...I AM logged into the virutalmachine via ssh SUCCESSFULLY...but it'll freeze after the first command
[13:26] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis:  feature? :D
[13:26] <airtonix> minh, so you are having the virtualbox using a NAT mode network ?
[13:26] <airtonix> minh, or not...
[13:26] <Samuel> to i only add "Driver nvidia" in xorg.conf?
[13:26] <Samuel> do*
[13:26] <minh> arcsky, dli: in fact, I AM ABLE to do a ls and see the output
[13:27] <ks3> minh, I take it you've disabled / uninstalled NetworkManager?
[13:27] <b0ot> I'm trying to get my ubuntu desktop online. I have a wireless connection on a windows xp laptop, is there a way to share it over its lan port to get wirelss
[13:27] <minh> airtonix: no, bridged interface (eth0)
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  could be the script has to lock things down.
[13:27] <commodoor> theadmin, formating isn't the issue but does it auto decrypts on mount?
[13:27] <BluesKaj> Samuel, how are you editing xorg.conf ..nvidia requires the command nvidia-xconfig
[13:27] <minh> ks3: no, network manager is enabled
[13:27] <theadmin> commodoor: How do you imangine it auto-decrypting without entering the password you encrypted with xD
[13:27] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: I think, that's a bug, Billgate :D
[13:27] <Samuel> Blue, i never used that last time
[13:27] <ks3> minh, Is it possible that after you set your IP manually, Network Manager is trying to assign via DHCP?
[13:27] <Propel> ohh ok. got it, joemavericksett
[13:28] <minh> ks3: perhaps...I think the problem is on the host-os since it'll work for ANOTHER command when resetting the host's static ip
[13:28] <theadmin> commodoor: But, I think I can provide a udev rule for this %) altough... I doubt udev can interact with x... hm, how would we request the password *thinks*
[13:28] <BluesKaj> Samuel, well if your going use xorg.conf then it's probly required
[13:28] <Samuel> BluesKaj, should i download nvidia-xconf aswell?
[13:28] <jbwiv__> how does one tell what /dev/sd* device a usb drive has been mapped to?
[13:28] <commodoor> theadmin, haha that the key is stored in ubuntu, like cryptfs when you login it decrypts
[13:29] <BluesKaj> no Samuel , just run sudo nvidia-xconfig in the terminal
[13:29] <airtonix> jbwiv__, without using something palimpset ?
[13:29] <commodoor> theadmin, a password prompt wouldn't be a problem
[13:29] <airtonix> like*
[13:29] <iceroot> jbwiv__: dmesg is telling that, also fdisk -l would show it
[13:29] <jbwiv__> airtonix, I'm not familiar with palimpset
[13:29] <Samuel> it gets an error
[13:30] <airtonix> jbwiv__, it's called Disk Utility in the gnome menus
[13:30] <jbwiv__> iceroot: I'll look at dmesg. the problem with fdisk -l is that I have a lot of drives and it's a lot to sort through
[13:30] <jbwiv__> airtonix, ah, gotcha. yeah, I was looking for a command-line way
[13:30] <airtonix> jbwiv__, cat /etc/mtab
[13:30] <cmyrland> Okay, I'm in dire need of help. I want to play Fallout New Vegas, but I simply cannot get the game to run. I've made a step-by-step list with what I've done, so if somebody could take a look at it and perhaps giveme some advice I'd appreciate it very much. Complete list of proceedings: http://pastebin.com/DiqH64Qx And yes, I've asked over at winehq too :)
[13:31] <Samuel> brb Blue, think its fixed now
[13:31] <sipior> cmyrland: as far as advice: run it in windows. seriously, life's too short.
[13:31] <jbwiv__> airtonix, well, it's not mounted. I have auto_mount disabled. I'm doing a forensic recovery on the disk (or trying, at least)
[13:31] <theadmin> cmyrland: Go to #winehq
[13:32] <cmyrland> sipior, okay, if you'll buy Windows for me I will.
[13:32] <minh> ks3: so I did /etc/init.d/network-manager stop on the host...I still freezes after each single command...but when resetting the static IP on the host (while the ssh-session is running) it will accept another command...and then freeze again until resetting the static IP on the host once again
[13:32] <airtonix> jbwiv__, well it will only be "mapped" if its mounted
[13:32] <airtonix> cmyrland, don't hold your breath.
[13:32] <sipior> cmyrland: have fun wasting your time.
[13:33] <rusivi> cmyrland: Check out winehq app database, which notes it works good in newest WINE dev -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21692
[13:33] <cmyrland> theadmin, I'm already there.
[13:33] <mapd> what does insmod ntfs do?
[13:33] <dli> minh, I'm quite confused, because the default virtualbox setting doesn't require you to set host side eth0, can you disable it, and clean up all 10.* network in "route"
[13:34] <rusivi> sipior: One should use Windows if they like viruses on their computer ;)
[13:34] <airtonix> rusivi, its all lies.
[13:34] <cmyrland> rusivi, If you read my pastebin post you'll see that I've searched through both the Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas threads to get it running.
[13:34] <theadmin> jbwiv__: Keep trying, look trought the output produced by: "udevinfo -a -p /dev/sd*"
[13:34] <sipior> rusivi: your opinion is of no interest to me.
[13:34] <jbwiv__> airtonix, actually, it'll be assigned a /dev/sd* letter without being mounted
[13:34] <theadmin> jbwiv__: Find some stuff with SUBSYSTEMS=="usb".
[13:35] <theadmin> jbwiv__: Should be it
[13:35] <minh> dli: thank you...give me a second
[13:35] <shadow98> http://pastebin.com/uivn0WVF  this is syslog from me trying to start heartbeat
[13:35] <jbwiv__> theadmin, udevinfo doesn't appear to be installed on my system. let me check apt
[13:35] <BluesKaj> minh, I suggest you add all the LAN IPs in /etc/hosts.allow , add a line , portmap , then underneath list the Ips like this , ALL:192.168.x.x
[13:35] <sipior> rusivi: sorry, that came across harsher than intended :-)
[13:35] <dli> minh, but it doesn't explain why you could still login and run one command at all
[13:35] <jbwiv__> theadmin, are you sure it's udevinfo? apt-file search shows no results
[13:35] <rusivi> sipior: np
[13:36] <llutz> !find udevinfo
[13:36] <llutz> jbwiv__: ^^ unikely
[13:36] <theadmin> hm.
[13:36] <tgywa> Hi
[13:36] <tgywa> 	How can I remove packages installed from source code?
[13:36] <theadmin> tgywa: Find where you installed them, remove.
[13:37] <theadmin> tgywa: All I can suggest... they can be in all kinds of places )%
[13:37] <theadmin> %)*
[13:37] <jbwiv__> theadmin, let me update apt-file and see if that changes
[13:37] <airtonix> cmyrland, why are you using sudo to edit fallout.ini ?
[13:37] <theadmin> jbwiv__: Well, I don't know much about ubuntu. There might be another way, let some ubuntu user guide you
[13:37] <jbwiv__> tgywa, you can use checkinstall to created dpkg's from source tarballs if you haven't installed them yet. makes them easy to uninstall
[13:37] <jbwiv__> theadmin, ok, thanks
[13:39] <evelyette> hi
[13:40] <evelyette> I just downloaded ubuntu 10.10 iso livecd install
[13:40] <mapd> is there a way to hide "e" and "b" options where it says the msg
[13:40] <mapd> ?
[13:40] <evelyette> but the X server is very small ... how can I change that ?
[13:40] <evelyette> there's no randr or something
[13:40] <mapd> ive seen a grub where does options didnt work
[13:42] <dli> evelyette, apt-get install x11-xserver-utils
[13:43] <mr_boo_ltp> did you guys know that linux is only 1.3% of the operating systems used out there
[13:43] <mr_boo_ltp> i was really shocked
[13:43] <evelyette> dli, ok, and what then?
[13:43] <evelyette> dli, it says: unable to locate package
[13:44] <mr_boo_ltp> i would've expected around 10%
[13:44] <dli> evelyette, check your sources.list, or Sources in software center
[13:45] <anygivenname> anyone into LogWatch ?
[13:45] <shadow98> anybody on that can help me with heartbeat configuration it doesn't seem to be creating the virtual interface
[13:46] <olskolirc> what is the best video editor for ubuntu please?
[13:47] <saml> i have a .deb, can I install it on my $HOME without root privilege?
[13:47] <minh> BluesKaj, dli, airtonix: it's sooo weird...after doing setting the static IP on both sides for about 4-5 times it actually seems to work "permanently"
[13:47] <nikolaj_basher> Hi :D Is ther any off you who have installed a printer XEROX Workcentre M128 and it isn't a pro model... I can't get it to work
[13:47] <anygivenname> anyone uses LogWatch ?
[13:48] <fgh> im looking for a very basic and simple email-client for X/ubuntu/gnome. anyone could help?
[13:48] <mr_boo_ltp> olskolirc: i think ubuntustudio has some good
[13:48] <dli> minh, now, do you have access to the guest from other boxes within the LAN?
[13:48] <minh> BluesKaj, dli, airtonix: despite the connection being ULTRA slow
[13:48] <Pici> anygivenname: What about it?
[13:48] <minh> dli: I have no resources to test that at the moment, sorry
[13:49] <minh> dli: the connection is SOOOOOO slow even though it's "local".
[13:50] <anygivenname> Pici: it sends me a daily mail with logs.....power went off during today's send time....i want to see the log on the machine
[13:50] <dli> minh, I run qemu-kvm in gentoo, the host to guest scp gives me about 100KB/s, and ping time is about 9ms
[13:50] <BluesKaj> minh, are running wubi or VB or some such
[13:50] <awanti> hi, I am using AMD dual core CPU and i have 3 Gb of RAM. Running Ubuntu 10.10. My question is i am not able to  utilize fully of my 3Gb RAM. I have tested many ways (running more application on my pc) but its utilizing maximum 800-980 MB of RAM. So plz. help me how do i Utilize every Hardware resource on from my pc.
[13:51] <minh> BluesKaj: VirtualBox
[13:51] <Devilz_108> awanti, Is it the 64bits?
[13:51] <BluesKaj> awanti, run free -m , in the terminal
[13:51] <awanti> its 32 bit
[13:51] <minh> dli: pingtime 0.600ms
[13:52] <dli> awanti, I suppose system is using all it needs
[13:52] <Devilz_108> awanti, You might need the 64 bits but also Ubuntu is not a RAM hugger so 800-980 is enough for it
[13:52] <Pici> anygivenname: It generates it when it does the send.  Just run it again manually.
[13:52] <dli> minh, let me try another guest, the 9ms is from HURD
[13:52] <anygivenname> Pici: how?
[13:52] <Devilz_108> awanti, It shouldn't be using the 3GB full time
[13:53] <awanti> ok but when i am running any VM-WARE so still its is using maximum 980 MB of ram
[13:53] <Devilz_108> That what it needs
[13:53] <Devilz_108> If it needs more than that it will take don't worry ;)
[13:54] <Devilz_108> If the programs are working well and less RAM is being used then that's good for you and for your PC awanti :)
[13:54] <suigeneris> I installed compizconfig-settings-manager, but I still don't have a System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. any thoughts?
[13:54] <minh> dli: so the speed is ok for commandline stuff....but X-forwarding is unbearable
[13:54] <llutz> anygivenname:  sudo /usr/sbin/logwatch --mailto you@foo.bar
[13:55] <nemptor> i would just like to know how to check if i have a dsp installed?
[13:55] <awanti> Because, when i am running vm ware my pc gets slow... its not utilizing my ram... why? i don't understand!!!
[13:55] <dli> awanti, if you really want to see all RAM used up, you may run fork bomb as user (not as root): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb
[13:55] <Devilz_108> It might be something with VMWare
[13:56] <mr_boo_ltp> how come linux only draws 1.3% of all operating system users?
[13:56] <Pici> !ot | mr_boo_ltp
[13:56] <mr_boo_ltp> Pici: thanks
[13:56] <Devilz_108> mr_boo_ltp, There aren't much Linux users
[13:56] <Pici> Devilz_108: Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion

[13:57] <nemptor> hello anybody here who can help me with my gtick problem?
[13:57] <anygivenname> llutz: thanks a lot
[13:57] <minh> dli, airtonix: anyway...thank you both very much for yor help!
[13:57] <fgh> im looking for a very basic and simple email-client for X/ubuntu/gnome. anyone could help?
[13:58] <anygivenname> llutz: asked for pw then blinking.....
[13:59] <DJones> fgh: The common email clients for ubuntu are Evolution or Thunderbird, I've not used anything outside of those
[13:59] <dli> fgh, evolution is too complex?
[13:59] <nemptor> hello anyone
[13:59] <uLinux> hello
[13:59] <ping__luce>  hi. How can I check if this video capture card: kmc-8800 (http://www.allproducts.com/manufacture98/ankotech/product2.html) is supported by v4l2 and can be used on ubuntu 10.04 ?
[14:00] <fgh> dli: for my old man, yes :)
[14:00] <anygivenname> llutz: greeeeeaaaaat thanks....received mail
[14:00] <nemptor> can you help me with gtick? ulinux
[14:00] <llutz> fgh: gui-clients are all bloated, try claws-mail
[14:00] <realcooluser> I really just have gone to web-only for email, and forgone clients altogether (outside of browser)   it's good for users, they only have to learn gmail once (or whichever service) and they can sit at any computer and get their mail
[14:00] <dli> fgh, I found thunderbird simple enough
[14:00] <llutz> fgh: or better: xterm -e mutt
[14:00] <dli> fgh, or just gmail
[14:01] <nemptor> uLinux: can you help me with gtick?
[14:01] <dli> fgh, my mother-in-law uses gmail/firefox to send out unbearable amount of junk, I suppose it's simple enough too
[14:02] <cmyrland> airtonix, sorry I had to go help my gf with some cooking ;) I'm using sudo because nautilus showed a small lock-symbol on the file and I wanted to make sure that I had write permission on the file.
[14:02] <dean_> Hi there peeps anyone like to help a noob?
[14:03] <fgh> dli: gmail/firefox is what im about to replace with something simplier. maybe there isnt anything
[14:03] <jpds> !ask | dean_

[14:06] <anygivenname> vnc viewer
[14:06] <airtonix> anygivenname, define "different"
[14:06] <Devilz_108> dean_, Adobe Reader isn't available for Linux as I know
[14:06] <cmyrland> airtonix, I can't see any errors concerning that. Maybe I should try changing permissions. However the game normally just has to read the ini-file, doesn't it?
[14:06] <iceroot> Devilz_108: of course it is
[14:06] <dean_> its on software centre Devilz_108
[14:06] <cmyrland> Devilz_108, yes it is. It's in the partner repositories

[14:07] <gryllida> how do i delete user with his usersettings and ~ content?
[14:07] <erUSUL> !ide | commodoor
[14:07] <iceroot> dean_: enable the partner-repo and do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install acroread"
[14:07] <airtonix> cmyrland, i would of thought that it would need to make changes to that based on what you modify in the settings (ingame)
[14:07] <iceroot> !partner | dean_
[14:07] <maco> commodoor: ive been using and liking KDevelop for C++
[14:07] <gryllida> commodoor, qt creator
[14:07] <dean_> you have confused me ubottu lol
[14:07] <airtonix> commodoor, KDevelop comes pretty close but you will only be able to use QT4 widget set for guis.
[14:08] <maco> gryllida: can Qt Creator be made to know about KDE libs? that worry is whats got me using KDevelop
[14:08] <StaRetji1> HELP http://pastebin.com/WRCfiizj Nvidia drivers instal
[14:08] <cmyrland> airtonix, I can change graphics settings etc and they are remembered betwwen sessions, so I think the game has another file for that
[14:08] <StaRetji1> I really don't know how to make nvidia drivers to work
[14:08] <maco> airtonix: KDevelop doesnt have the GUI stuff built in. you're thinking of Designer-Qt4, maybe?
[14:08] <dean_> or is there a linux pdf reader?
[14:08] <anygivenname> airtonix: icons on panel are not the same
[14:08] <maco> dean_: evince is the default pdf reader in ubuntu
[14:08] <maco> dean_: okular in kubuntu
[14:08] <airtonix> maco, isn't Kdevelop the over-arching name for the four programs that put it all together ?
[14:09] <maxice> pdf can be read by default on ubuntu
[14:09] <maco> airtonix: no, its the IDE piece
[14:09] <gryllida> how do i delete user with his usersettings and ~ content?
[14:09] <commodoor> thnx guys, i'm using eclipse but not for c++ now i want to learn it but all the tuts that i have are for visual c++ now i don't have win
[14:09] <StaRetji1> Anyone?
[14:09] <iceroot> gryllida: userdel -r username
[14:09] <maco> airtonix: at least, if you run the "kdevelop" command the only thing thats launched is the codey / debuggy bit
[14:09] <gryllida> ok iceroot
[14:09] <dean_> I have ubuntu but no evince?
[14:09] <Sabri> dean_: on my system, evince was installed by default...  It works just fine for viewing PDFs.
[14:09] <airtonix> dean_, what makes you think that ?
[14:09] <maxice> @dean seems so
[14:10] <mrpotato> algun español
[14:10] <maco> dean_: it is called "document viewer" in menus and in the title bar

[14:10] <YuviPanda> i'm trying to install ubuntu (netbook edition) on a dual core desktop (don't want to download again)
[14:10] <dean_> its not in my packages airtonix its my first day using ubuntu so I apologise if I am getting it wrong
[14:10] <Anomie2> Can anyone help with sites-enabeld/apache2 ? My servers IP is directing to one of my domains instead of to my /var/www listing
[14:10] <YuviPanda> i'm trying to create ext3 partitions in free space (created by removing ntfs partitions from xp)
[14:10] <YuviPanda> and
[14:10] <airtonix> dean_, have a look in your menus... or double click a pdf file (i think you'll find that it is installed )
[14:11] <YuviPanda> and i'm getting
[14:11] <maxice> @dean try systems>preferences>main menu
[14:11] <dean_> fair enough airtonix thats great can I just ask if there is a equivalent to winrar?
[14:11] <YuviPanda> The ext3 file system creation in partition #6 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda) failed
[14:11] <YuviPanda> i tried ext4, ext3 - all same issues
[14:11] <maxice> and see if u can find it in that list and enable the menu item
[14:11] <airtonix> dean_, ? right click on a rar file.
[14:11] <dean_> or an equivalent to winrar?
[14:11] <nemptor_> anybody who can help me with my problem with gtick
[14:11] <Devilz_108> dean_, You can extract most of the archieves but to the rar files you have to download something
[14:11] <Devilz_108> Give me a minute
[14:11] <maco> commodoor: i definitely recommend looking at Qt if you're looking for an easy-to-use C++-based toolkit that'll work on Linux, Mac, and Windows
[14:12] <Pici> !rar | dean_
[14:12] <airtonix> dean you might need to install p7zip-full
[14:12] <maco> commodoor: ive used its python bindings before, but last week i wrote my first C++ patch with it. was relatively painless
[14:12] <commodoor> thnx maco will look into it
[14:12] <nemptor_> please anyone here who can help?
[14:12] <Devilz_108> Yes as ubottu said that what I was looking for the "unrar-free" software
[14:12] <airtonix> !anyone | nemptor_
[14:12] <Devilz_108> You can find it in Synaptic
[14:12] <dean_> p7zipfull I've heard of 7 zip actually
[14:13] <commodoor> kdevelop looks great but i don't want to use KDE apps in ubuntu
[14:13] <maxice> @nemptor
[14:13] <airtonix> dean_, on windows it's actually better than winrar
[14:13] <nemptor_> i already asked questions
[14:13] <christopher_> Anyone know about grub?
[14:13] <nemptor_> nobody seems to listen
[14:13] <maxice> @nemptor tell me
[14:13] <christopher_> Anyone know about grub? and how to configure it?
[14:13] <airtonix> clear
[14:13] <nemptor_> i already asked if anyone who can help me with gtick
[14:13] <RabidGoblin> hey, i have an hp laptop, and my trackpad is completely not responsive with my user.  before i log in, works fine.  log in as guest, works fine.  I think it may have happened after i touched the button to disable the trackpad, it always acts up when i do that.  Usually a reboot will set things back to normal, but this time i cant get any response out of it
[14:13] <christopher_> Anyone know about grub? and how to configure it?
[14:13] <airtonix> !repeat
[14:13] <erUSUL> nemptor_: we have to figure out the gtick problem ourselves or are you going to describe it?
[14:13] <hateball> !anyone
[14:13] <shibuindie> hi all
 anybody who can help me with my problem with gtick and this is not enough. ask what you want
[14:14] <airtonix> !lart hateball
[14:14] <shibuindie> Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit not detecting 4 gb ram
[14:14] <maxice> @naptor dont know what it is but i'll try to help by installing it myself
[14:14] <christopher_> Im stuck with grub I have lost my windows partiton and need to reconfigure it
[14:14] <iceroot> shibuindie: that is normal
[14:14] <Devilz_108> It's becuase 32 bit shibuindie
[14:14] <dean_> I am installing 7zip now I assume this is the program?
[14:14] <ks3> shibuindie, Most 32 bit systems won't detect a full 4GB
[14:14] <Mohan_chml> christopher_, What was your issue? for what you want to configure? what happened?
[14:14] <shibuindie> previously it was detecting properly as 3.9 but after a reinstall it shows only 3.4
[14:14] <hateball> shibuindie: You'd have to use a PAE kernel on 32-bit
[14:14] <airtonix> dean it should provide archive manager the ability to deal with a wide range of compressed files
[14:14] <Mohan_chml> christopher_, you re-installed Ubuntu?
[14:14] <shibuindie> oh..
[14:15] <dean_> ok thanks airtonix
[14:15] <christopher_> I had windows 7, created a partition for lubuntu. now on the grub bootloader i have lost windows 7.
[14:15] <shibuindie> how to use PAE kernel on 32 bit?

[14:21] <Syria> !xdmcp
[14:21] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> theom3ga: you might just want to change the theme
[14:21] <Devilz_108> What is the name of the new Ubuntu font?
[14:21] <iceroot> Devilz_108: ubuntu
[14:22] <Devilz_108> From where again I can get it for Ubuntu 10.04?
[14:22] <xibalban> I cannot browse/slow browse websites on firefox. However, if I fire up deluge I get enormous download speeds (say 200 kB/sec)
[14:22] <uLinux> lol
[14:22] <Devilz_108> xibalban, Limit your upload speed
[14:22] <erUSUL> nemptor_: but you installed jackd?
[14:22] <jkirk> hello
[14:22] <Devilz_108> It's deluge eating your internet connection because of high download/upload speeds
[14:22] <exebat> Hi is there anyone here that is awesome in networking that can help me by answering some questions?
[14:22] <Devilz_108> Mostly the upload xibalban
[14:23] <n3rV3> shibuindie, if you are using lucid or later it could be your path variable is not set properly
[14:23] <xibalban> But, as I quit deluge and try to browse using firefox, it slows down.
[14:23] <n3rV3> nm i'll give you the complete command
[14:23] <nemptor_> erUSUL: yes
[14:23] <shibuindie> I am using Maverick
[14:23] <shibuindie> Ubuntu 10.10

[14:23] <fep> wow, this is caotic
[14:23] <shibuindie> how to correct this path variable?
[14:23] <erUSUL> nemptor_: maybe gtick can be made to work with jackd. but i duno how.
[14:24] <brianritchie> exebat depends, whats the question
[14:24] <Syria> What is the difference between XDMCP and vnc please?
[14:24] <n3rV3> shibuindie, sudo /usr/bin/aptitude install linux-generic-pae
[14:24] <xibalban> That's exactly what I did. I downloaded Chromium, Opera and even text-based browsers, but the issue persists.
[14:24] <shibuindie> n3rV3, will try
[14:25] <shibuindie> thanks
[14:25] <xibalban> It seem only my http requests aren't processed. Torrents run fine. Apt-get too runs great but browsers just crawl
[14:25] <nemptor_> erUSUL: in some websites that i've looked their sound device is /usr/dsp but mine is different its /usr/bin/jackd. how do i install or do i need to install a dsp?
[14:26] <erUSUL> nemptor_: is /dev/dsp
[14:26] <xibalban> @Devilz_108, I await your advice please.
[14:26] <filleokus> I have a 160 gig disk that is empty. And a 750 GB disk with 20 gig data on it (win 7 system and crap on it). Can I somehow clone the system to a smaller disk?
[14:26] <nemptor_> erUSUL: i dont have dsp when i looked in my dev folder
[14:26] <elwillycd> anyone with a problem in remote desktop and keyboard
[14:27] <Devilz_108> xibalban, I'm sorry I didn't pay attention well
[14:27] <n3rV3> shibuindie, first tell me what is the output of -> sudo echo $PATH
[14:27] <Devilz_108> xibalban, Your internet run well while you're running Deluge and when you shut it down it become slow?
[14:27] <n3rV3> ohh you'll try that later never mind then
[14:27] <xibalban> That's exactly what I did. I downloaded Chromium, Opera and even text-based browsers, but the issue persists.
[14:27] <xibalban> It seem only my http requests aren't processed. Torrents run fine. Apt-get too runs great but browsers just crawl
[14:27] <uLinux> im trying to open a .theme file but i cant choose any program, i need to open gedit and then open from there

[14:28] <uLinux> how can i associate .theme with gedit
[14:28] <Devilz_108> xibalban,
[14:28] <Propel> anyone here use tripwire?
[14:28] <nemptor_> erUSUL: oh ok, but i
[14:28] <shibuindie> n3rV3:  /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[14:28] <Devilz_108> Are you running some sort of Proxy in the browsers?
[14:28] <AbhiJit> how to install all of these in one terminal command: perl, wget, Net::IRC, Net::SMTP , IO::Select , IO::Pipe
[14:28] <erUSUL> nemptor_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=706248
[14:28] <AbhiJit> ??
[14:28] <nemptor_> already tried that but still have the same problem
[14:28] <xibalban> No, my internet rocks always but I cannot browse
[14:28] <erUSUL> AbhiJit: perl an wget are installed by default.
[14:29] <erUSUL> AbhiJit: the others you will have to search in synaptic
[14:29] <Devilz_108> That looks weird to me xibalban , do you have another PC or operating system to test from there if the internet works fine?
[14:29] <AbhiJit> erUSUL, they are in synaptic. i need terminal way
[14:29] <uLinux> AbhiJit: sudo apt-get install <program> <program> <..>
[14:29] <Sabri> !vnc
[14:29] <uLinux> AbhiJit: you just need to know the package names
[14:29] <xibalban> It works great when I download packages using apt-get, it rocks when I use Deluge but it simply wouldn't browse using ANY browser
[14:29] <nemptor_> erUSUL: does not work with me
[14:30] <AbhiJit> uLinux, that is what i am asking
[14:30] <Devilz_108> xibalban, Check in the browser settings of Firefox/Chrome for some Proxy settings
[14:30] <erUSUL> AbhiJit: apt-cache search perl | grep '-perl'
[14:30] <n3rV3> shibuindie, then aptitude should work as well
[14:30] <xibalban> Yes, I have Vista dual booted with Maverick, and browsing is a breeze on it.
[14:30] <Devilz_108> xibalban, Otherwise it might be a problem with the Internet Service Provide so you might need to call them
[14:30] <uLinux> AbhiJit: IRC and SMTP are not programs.. but protocols
[14:30] <erUSUL> AbhiJit: apt-cache search perl | grep '\-perl'
[14:30] <n3rV3> shibuindie,  did you try the complete command i gave you?
[14:30] <Devilz_108> What do you mean by "Breeze" you mean it's working fine in Vista?
[14:31] <shibuindie> yes
[14:31] <nemptor_> erUSUL: do you know how can check why is jackd denies permission to gtick?
[14:31] <shibuindie> i copied and pasted it
[14:31] <xibalban> Yes, it rocks it is super fast
[14:31] <erUSUL> nemptor_: sorry is all i can help with this. you may want to ask in #ubuntustudio. jackd is specialiced  for pro audio ) software
[14:31] <nemptor_> erUSUL: do you know how to can check why is jackd denies permission to gtick?
[14:31] <ayush> why can't evolution handle mails with 5 or 6 jpg attachments? My computer hangs everytime I try to open such a mail.
[14:31] <n3rV3> xibalban, depends on your torrent speed as well
[14:31] <Devilz_108> xibalban, Then it must be something in the settings in Ubuntu I'm smelling some Proxy settings or bad settings somewhere.
[14:31] <nemptor_> erUSUL: ok thanks
[14:31] <AbhiJit> uLinux, erUSUL ok
[14:31] <BluesKaj> xibalban, which browsers are you trying ?
[14:31] <erUSUL> nemptor_: is not denying anything, gtick is an old program that does not support jackd
[14:31] <Devilz_108> n3rV3, He said the internet is slow even if Deluge is not running
[14:32] <xibalban> I've checked and compared preferences in firefox with Vista and it's the same for Ubuntu maverick. No proxy used.
[14:32] <Devilz_108> BluesKaj, He tried several browsers Chrome , FF ..
[14:32] <n3rV3> as far as i remember he said torrents were running
[14:32] <n3rV3> nothing else
[14:32] <nemptor_> thank you for all your help here sorry i cant mention your name thanks again
[14:32] <suigeneris> can somebody help me identify my printing problem? I've added the printer as socket://, it seems to send a test page but the printer doesn't print
[14:33] <xibalban> This is where it gets more weird. The browser does work (very slow though) sometimes but it's dead mostly
[14:33] <Devilz_108> I'm nearly out of ideas for you mate but I must go.
[14:33] <tomas__> which kernel is fedora 14 using? 2.6.35 or 2.6.36. it a little of topic but i do not want to download it only to be sure
[14:33] <awanti> If i have enough RAM in my pc so is it necessary to i have swap partition?
[14:33] <n3rV3> tomas__, wrong channel
[14:33] <shibuindie> n3rV3: I have installed through apt-get, now going to reboot and see if the memory is detectd
[14:33] <xibalban> @BluesKaj, I've tried several Firefox, Opera, xlinks
[14:33] <Devilz_108> awanti, It's better to have some SWAP Partition but if you have a good amount then you can go without Swap
[14:33] <n3rV3> ok
[14:33] <n3rV3> cheers
[14:33] <Devilz_108> Good luck all I'm out for now
[14:34] <commodoor> Does pidgin still saves passwords in plain text?
[14:34] <Devilz_108> Bye :)
[14:34] <datta> in avidemux i a want to keep the same resolution but change only the bitrate
[14:34] <erUSUL> tomas__: ask in #fedora
[14:34] <awanti> OKAY
[14:34] <uLinux> awanti: if you suspend/hibernate you should have swap
[14:34] <BluesKaj> xibalban, explain your situation pls .home , office/work or ? and what kind of network connection router / lan ?
[14:34] <uLinux> i guess
[14:34] <datta> when i change the codec to H.293 it shows me a error so i cannot use h.293
[14:34] <tomas__> thx and sorry. :D new to irc
[14:34] <xibalban> I use a 3G usb modem
[14:35] <xibalban> I connect using wvdial
[14:35] <c3l_> exit
[14:35] <datta> does anyone know any way i can change the size of a video file without changing the resolution, only change the bit rate
[14:36] <xibalban> ...so, it's directly connected without any router, lan to mess with. I know internet works coz it works in Stupid Vista
[14:36] <Rabbitbunny> 10.04, I can only click on the first thing I clicked on when I booted. the mouse moves fine, but I can only click on that one panel drawer applet. not it's sub drawers. Just that one 32x32 pixel square.
[14:36] <Rabbitbunny> hints?
[14:36] <datta> please does anyone know how to encode videos?
[14:37] <Rabbitbunny> datta: transcode?
[14:37] <Dcite> datta: I think there is alot more to video encoding than just a bitrate...
[14:37] <datta> Rabbitbunny: yes
[14:37] <xibalban> @BluesKaj, I've installed loads of applications using apt-get which downloads packages off the internet. It provides the download speed average as 200 kBps
[14:38] <n3rV3> datta, vlc does it, for more options use ffmpeg
[14:38] <xibalban> ..also, bit torrent works great (I use Deluge) with about the same speed.
[14:38] <datta> n3rV3: i do not understand anything of ffmpeg
[14:38] <w3pt>  w3pt_
[14:38] <n3rV3> hehe
[14:38] <Dcite> datta: mencoder is also an option, adds more options ontop of ffmpeg.
[14:39] <Infinitus> hello. grub punches me with error: unknown filesystem; I cannot (it simply won't) boot from cd/dvd. While I was working with Kile (on my laptop which is an old inspiron) I got a write error for the hd. so I only have the rescue console and no idea what to do.
[14:39] <xibalban> However, web browsers simply refuse to display web pages inspite of shutting down all other applications like deluge, etc
[14:39] <dajhorn> datta: If you want to encode for a cellphone or transcode a DVD, then Handbrake has a nice GUI with useful presets:  https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots
[14:39] <Dcite> xibalban: How does it refuse? Never loads? page timeout? DNS error?
[14:40] <xibalban> page timeout
[14:40] <giovanni_> [EWG]-BabyToeJam xdcc send #8
[14:40] <Dcite> dajhorn: Where is the handbrkae gui for Linux?
[14:40] <xibalban> hey, I just pinged yahoo.com
[14:40] <xibalban> let me copy and paste the response
[14:40] <MPX> Just had an essay about "Giovanni" today :)
[14:40] <wkf5566> I want a girlfriend.
[14:41] <datta> dajhorn: tried handbrake but the transcode shows me that it's down and then when i open the file, it is still transcoding
[14:41] <BluesKaj> xibalban, why are you using wvdial . why not just use /etc/network/interfaces, no need for a network client
[14:41] <Pici> wkf5566: This is a support channel, not a dating service.
[14:41] <wkf5566> haha
[14:41] <AbhiJit> how to install Net::IRC ?? google of no help
[14:41] <xibalban> IRC too works, I'm on maverick using xchat right now
[14:41] <dajhorn> datta: You can't use a stable release on Lucid or Maverick.  The gnome stuff is broken.  You need to use a snapshot from the PPA.
[14:41] <suigeneris> can somebody help me identify my printing problem? I've added the printer with socket://, it seems to send a test page but the printer doesn't just print. when I add with smb://, it gives printer-state-message="Bad URI - need printer name!"
[14:41] <xibalban> ping: unknown host yahoo.com
[14:42] <Pici> AbhiJit: Insteall the libnet-irc-perl package.
[14:42] <h_2_2121> I can't get onto the #ubuntu IRC channel, could someone help?
[14:42] <BluesKaj> xibalban, read my post above
[14:42] <datta> dajhorn: i am using lucid
[14:42] <xibalban> @Abhijit, try this "sudo apt-get install xchat"
[14:42] <Dcite> xibalban: Check your DNS resolver in /etc/resolv.conf
[14:42] <DJones> h_2_2121: You're in the #ubuntu channel
[14:42] <dajhorn> datta: If Handbrake is broken for you, then VLC is probably the best alternative.
[14:42] <h_2_2121> DJones, my apologies, I thought this was the unregged channel still
[14:43] <xibalban> @BluesKaj, What is the difference/advantage?
[14:43] <AbhiJit> Pici, wow thats great. only one more question: i also wanted Net::SMTP   IO::Select IO::Pipe   please tell me their library names?
[14:43] <DJones> h_2_2121: No worries, it happens to us all at some point
[14:44] <Pici> AbhiJit: I'm just searching myself. apt-cache search perl | grep smtp
[14:44] <AbhiJit> Pici, ok
[14:44] <BluesKaj> xibalban, no client needed , no NM , just the settings in /etc/network/interfaces are required , very simple to set up, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[14:44] <dajhorn> Dcite:  handbrake-gtk package.
[14:45] <xibalban> @BluesKaj, how do I configure my 3G USB Modem for "why not just use /etc/network/interfaces, no need for a network client", a link/walkthrough would be great.
[14:45] <Dcite> xibalban: Use network manager for your USB 3G modem.
[14:45] <AbhiJit> Pici, is it libauthen-simple-net-perl
[14:46] <Dcite> xibalban: Unless.. you don't have a GUI?
[14:46] <xibalban> Thanks for the link. Err!!!   Too bad, the link fired up firefox which displayed "Timed out"
[14:46] <tianshao> hi all

[14:47] <suigeneris> karthick87 gpasswd -a user group
[14:47] <Pici> AbhiJit: I don't know, look at the package description.
[14:47] <Dcite> karthick87: Look inside System -> Administration -> users and groups
[14:47] <suigeneris> karthick87 sudo gpasswd -a user group*
[14:47] <AbhiJit> Pici, ok. thanks btw
[14:47] <xibalban> @Dcite, no proxies used. I've verified them. Appreciate your help.
[14:48] <karthick87> ujjain: Edit /etc/network/interfaces file

[14:49] <xibalban> I'm curious. Why doesn't pinging yahoo work while xchat works!! As you can see, I'm online chatting with you guys.
[14:49] <suigeneris> karthick87 yes
[14:49] <Dcite> xibalban: So.. even the IP ping doesn't work?
[14:49] <karthick87> suigeneris: What group* mean?
[14:50] <xibalban> @Dcite, yes it gives me a "Hostname not found" error
[14:50] <suigeneris> karthick87 * is there because I made a mistake and corrected it
[14:50] <Dcite> xibalban: What was your ping command? can you copy and paste that line alone please?
[14:50] <suigeneris> karthick87 sudo gpasswd -a user group <--- correct one
[14:50] <AbhiJit> Pici,  which is the safe server and channel for testing bot for first time
[14:50] <xibalban> Are there any command I could type at the terminal and paste here, for your convenience?
[14:51] <Dcite> xibalban: please type this and see if it works "ping 206.190.34.135"
[14:51] <xibalban> "ping yahoo.com"

[14:53] <dajhorn> Sabri: Go into the preferences, look for the JPEG options, and notice the color depths.   You may need to change the color depth to get a better view.
[14:53] <suigeneris> karthick87 cat /etc/passwd | grep home
[14:53] <Dcite> xibalban: First your ping sucks.. second only wanted to know if it pinged.. third, I think you DNS provider maybe down or bad...
[14:53] <xibalban> Sorry, that must have flooded.
[14:53] <Sabri> dajhorn, unfortunately, preferences is only two checkboxes.
[14:53] <xibalban> Yes, it worked
[14:54] <dwayne> I used to disable ubuntu desktop gdm by moving /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm to /etc/rc.2/K30gdm, but it doesn't exist in 10.04.  How should I disable gdm ?
[14:54] <dajhorn> Sabri: Which client are you using?
[14:54] <xibalban> I'm a bit relieved!
[14:55] <xibalban> @Dcite, how do I correct my DNS?
[14:55] <niewod> Hello
[14:55] <Sabri> dajhorn, the in-built Remote Desktop Viewer for GNOME.
[14:55] <xibalban> The IP and DNS are set to automatic
[14:55] <karthick87> suigeneris: It shows the following http://paste.ubuntu.com/524464/
[14:55] <Dcite> xibalban: I can give you a temporary measure...
[14:55] <thefeds> D-Bus fails to install on 10.10
[14:56] <xibalban> @I'd be grateful, please!
[14:56] <thefeds> Why
[14:56] <thefeds> ?
[14:56] <Dcite> xibalban: Since I don't know anything about wvdial, I can only say.. replace the dns completely..
[14:56] <trism> dwayne: it is started by upstart in 10.04, moving /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled should have a similar effect, or you can edit the file and add "and never" to the start on line, so you can still start it manually
[14:56] <suigeneris> karthick87 you  are the only real user
[14:56] <xibalban> ...and how do I go about doing it?
[14:57] <niewod> I have tried to find PDF version  "Ubuntu Installation Guide" for 10.4  from some time without sucess. Any ideas wher to go? Google is not very helpful
[14:57] <Dcite> xibalban: sudo echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
[14:57] <karthick87> suigeneris: it says that i have users syslog,usbmux,saned,karthick and guest
[14:57] <dwayne> trism, thanks!
[14:57] <k4r4mb4> can anyone help me with creating for loop?
[14:57] <dajhorn> Sabri: The "Depth Color" pulldown menu is available in the "Connect" dialog.  If you're using a bookmark, then you might need to recreate it.
[14:57] <Pici> k4r4mb4: In bash?  Scripting help is more on-topic in #bash
[14:57] <Dcite> xibalban: If that works, you'll be using google's DNS service.
[14:57] <blackshirt> k4r4mba: what you need... ??
[14:57] <k4r4mb4> in windows :(
[14:57] <karthick87> suigeneris: what is saned,syslog and usbmux..?
[14:57] <dobak> hi
[14:58] <xibalban> @Dcite, permission denied
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> karthick87:  sane = the scanner subsystem, syslog = the system Logger.
[14:58] <suigeneris> karthick87 ask someone else, I'm kinda busy now
[14:58] <dobak> hi
[14:58] <Pici> k4r4mb4: Well this is #ubuntu, if you're looking for Windows support, use ##windows
[14:58] <Dcite> xibalban: sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
[14:58] <k4r4mb4> they know nithing about windows cmd usage there

[14:59] <k4r4mb4> coz for is a command from dos
[14:59] <Dcite> jpds: Err oops, thankyou for pointing out.
[14:59] <k4r4mb4> and you are more knowledgable people.that's why i ask here

[15:01] <shibuindie> n3rV3:  Can boot into  generic-pae-recovery
[15:01] <xibalban> @Dcite, changed and saved
[15:01] <Dcite> xibalban: Then please do try and ping yahoo.com again and see if it works.

[15:03] <Isenn> Do anyone know a "good" guide for php 5.2 on ubuntu 10.10?
[15:03] <xibalban> 14 packets transmitted, 4 received, 71% packet loss, time 42567ms
[15:03] <Dcite> xibalban: The last time you pinged you had a 4 second latency.. your 3G is not the fastest ^_^
[15:03] <shibuindie> so I should log into recovery mode of generic-pae and install graphics drivers?
[15:03] <n3rV3> shibuindie, this time as you can access only the recovery option you will have to do it from there
[15:03] <CharlieSu> Is there a way to do automated Ubuntu installs?  Is it done w/ the alternate CD?  Could someone send me a URL w/ the most recent 10.04 documentation on doing this?  I have similar hardware and want to just pop in a CD that does partioning and package installation
[15:03] <shibuindie> ok thats fine..I will try
[15:03] <Da_Wrecka> Does anyone know of a text editor that can open a 23MB XML file without locking up?
[15:04] <shibuindie> logging out
[15:04] <shibuindie> will be back
[15:04] <shibuindie> thanks
[15:04] <maco> Da_Wrecka: maybe vi?
[15:04] <n3rV3> shibuindie, wait
[15:04] <NickyL> can anyone help me set up a wired network connection in ubuntu?
[15:04] <shibuindie> yes
[15:04] <Da_Wrecka> maco: Maybe... I'm trying nano right now, but it looks like it's locked up too.
[15:04] <n3rV3> are you familiar with the terminal (text prompt)
[15:04] <Sabri> Isenn, a guide for doing what with php5 on ubuntu?
[15:04] <xibalban> @Dcite, I agree. But, I should be able to browse as good as in Vista.
[15:04] <datta> using avidemux, what is the best option to keep quality but change file size?
[15:04] <Isenn> Sabri: Installing php 5.2 on ubuntu 10.10.
[15:05] <shibuindie> I just started with linux last week :-(
[15:05] <xibalban> Shall I fire up firefox and test
[15:05] <n3rV3> Da_Wrecka, will take some time bu tthe file will open
[15:05] <Isenn> Sabri: 5.3 comes with ubuntu 10.10.. but i need 5.2 for my projects
[15:05] <Dcite> xibalban: Firefox should be caching some of the DNS names and start the conections sooner after it remembers a few of them.
[15:05] <Sabri> Isenn, I see, I see... No, I don't know anything about that, sorry.  I just use what it gives me. xD
[15:05] <n3rV3> shibuindie, well wait give me a few mins
[15:05] <shibuindie> but I try my best to use terminal whenever possible
[15:05] <shibuindie> ok
[15:05] <shibuindie> sure
[15:06] <Da_Wrecka> I've tried Abiword, gedit, Wine Notepad, Notepad++ via Wine, and on the Windows machine I've tried Notepad, Notepad++, Wordpad, even Winword... Wordpad opened it successfully. Everything else hung. I even left gedit for at least an hour and it was still hung after all that time.
[15:06] <maco> Da_Wrecka: something you can do is use "split" to break it into manageable size files then "cat" to reassemble when you're done
[15:06] <BluesKaj> xibalban, is using irc on 3g the same as texting or are you charged for use as a cellphone call
[15:06] <datta> does anyone know using avidemux, what is the best option to keep quality but change file size?
[15:06] <Da_Wrecka> That could work I suppose. Be a royal pain in the ass, but I suppose it would work.
[15:06] <jrib> Da_Wrecka: 23mb isn't that much tbh...
[15:06] <Da_Wrecka> jrib: And yet, it's still enough to make every text editor I've tried bar one hang when opening it.
[15:06] <xibalban> I'll clear all cache and restart firefox. What say Dcite?
[15:07] <jrib> Da_Wrecka: try vim, disable syntax highlighting etc.
[15:07] <Dcite> Da_Wrecka: Maybe vi or vim? Assuming you don't have everything on ONE line.
[15:07] <Sabri> Where can I ask about the best text-editor for Ubuntu?  I want to provide a list of features I want.
[15:07] <Dcite> xibalban: cache clearing should not be needed.
[15:07] <xibalban> @BluesKaj, well I've subscribed to an unlimited data plan. Hence, no charges per message!
[15:07] <datta> does anyone know using avidemux, what is the best option to keep quality but change file size?
[15:07] <Hatrix76> I was used to the IOSTAT command and at some debian installations the iostat utility give ma all information in one line, as in (vmstat 1) ... but now on lucid iostat gives me statistics vertically, it's so hard to read changes if you do a iostat 1 ... is there a way to change the format to be on one line again? I did not find anything in the man pages .... or is this a new iostat?
[15:08] <Da_Wrecka> nano seems to have hung too.
[15:08] <blackshirt> Sabri: you mean just editor or something other with complet feature ??
[15:08] <Da_Wrecka> Killed nano, trying vi
[15:09] <Da_Wrecka> okay, vi seems to have loaded it... Apparently the whole XML file IS on one line. (machine-generated, not manual)
[15:09] <jrib> Da_Wrecka: the real question is why you are editing it with a text editor
[15:09] <Da_Wrecka> vi's loaded it, but it's really sluggish
[15:09] <xibalban> I searched for Ubuntu using Google toolbar. It says at the status bar (at the bottom), "looking up google.com" and stays there forever
[15:10] <Da_Wrecka> jrib: Because I wanted to check its contents and, if applicable, do a find-and-replace.
[15:10] <BluesKaj> xibalban, that's not what I mean , perhaps your network is filtering web-browsing because your router appears as a text source rather than a browser sources to the 3G network ...does that make sense ?
[15:10] <david506> Can I use certificate signing on my SSH server to avoid having to remember my server's fingerprint ?
[15:11] <jrib> Da_Wrecka: why don't you use some xml library in your favorite language or something like xmlstarlet?
[15:11] <xibalban> ...somewhat! But, hey I can now see the google search results. Let me try a link!
[15:11] <Da_Wrecka> xmlstarlet? Not heard of that before.
[15:11] <Sabri> blackshirt, I just want a text editor, but I want it to have code folding, syntax highlighting, snippets and a project drawer or project pane.  Heh... essentially, I want TextMate.
[15:11] <xibalban> Ubuntu homepage it is, waiting....
[15:11] <tgywa> How can I get the list of uniq entriies with two different files
[15:12] <david506> Sabri wants vim
[15:12] <h_2_2121> Sabri, have you tried geany?
[15:12] <n3rV3> shibuindie, well here are some commands
[15:12] <Hatrix76> Sabri: I hear you, TextMate *sigh*
[15:12] <n3rV3> apt-get install linux-headers*
[15:12] <Sabri> See... my MacBook took a water spill...
[15:12] <n3rV3> apt-get install nvidia*
[15:12] <n3rV3> and it could work
[15:13] <shibuindie> in the terminal window?
[15:13] <Hatrix76> Sabri: that's saddening, really, I feel with you
[15:13] <shibuindie> should i log into recovery mode of pae?
[15:13] <blackshirt> Sabri: maybe emacs/xemacs..it's not just editor..but fully feature editor..
[15:13] <n3rV3> shibuindie, yes
[15:13] <jrib> tgywa: some combination of cat, sort, and unique?
[15:13] <Sabri> So far, vim, xemacs and geanny are things I should look at?
[15:13] <xibalban> Alas, it hangs around at "connecting to ubuntu.com" at the status bar
[15:13] <shibuindie> ok..will try it out
[15:13] <Hatrix76> blackshirt: emacs ... tz, Sabri is better of with vi than emacs
[15:13] <shibuindie> will be back
[15:13] <n3rV3> shibuindie, prepend sudo to those commands
[15:13] <shibuindie> ok
[15:14] <shibuindie> n3rV3: why is there a star after the commands?
[15:14] <xibalban> @Dcite, thanks for your assistance. We could al least get to something. At least a page was displayed, though late!
[15:14] <Hatrix76> Sabri: If you are comming from TextMate, It will be hard to move to something like xemacs, gvim (graphical vim) .... they are all really different!
[15:14] <n3rV3> hi all do we get networking enabled by default in recovery mode
[15:15] <n3rV3> shibuindie, that is so that it autocompletes with viable options
[15:15] <blackshirt> i don't think so... emacs is written by Richard Matthew Stallman aka RMS, GNu Hacker..
[15:15] <shibuindie> ok..fine fine
[15:15] <shibuindie> :-)
[15:15] <xibalban> @Dcite, I remember you stating that this would be a temporary workaround. What ought I do to resolve it permanently? Talk to my ISP, maybe?
[15:16] <n3rV3> shibuindie, one more thing
[15:16] <Hatrix76> blackshirt: and your point being?
[15:16] <Sabri> Hatrix76, blackshirt, I just need those basic features.  Tabs, project view, code folding, syntax highlights, and snippets.
[15:16] <n3rV3> it would be better if you boot into you older kernel and then try those commands out
[15:16] <User88> need help with grafix drivers :s
[15:16] <n3rV3> it would be easier
[15:17] <User88> nvidia-xconfig doesnt work, screen just goes into power save
[15:17] <blackshirt> Sabri: maybe you need IDE,
[15:18] <Hatrix76> Sabri, take a look at this: http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/features.html   it should have everything you need and it's more in the look and feel to TextMate than emacs or (g)Vim
[15:18] <shibuindie> ok
[15:19] <n3rV3> good luck
[15:19] <Routers> how to kill this processes.. 10598 pts/1    Ds+    0:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 24 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/libnet-ssleay-perl_1.35-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/lib
[15:19] <NickyL> could anyone help me troubleshoot my wired connection in ubuntu?
[15:19] <Hatrix76> (althought personally I am a huge vim fan for over the last 10 years ...) it's the best way of editing a textfile for me, because how you control it makes so much sense to me, but I would not recommend it for someone used to TextMate
[15:19] <uLinux> !anyone NickyL
[15:19] <uLinux> !anyone | NickyL
[15:20] <Hatrix76> Routers: reboot the machine
[15:20] <BluesKaj> NickyL, ok tell us your situation
[15:20] <n3rV3> Hatrix76, really :)
[15:20] <NickyL> My wired connection stopped working suddenly.  My wireless (which is plugged in the wired router) works fine.
[15:20] <n3rV3> Routers, try sudo pkill -9 dpkg
[15:20] <n3rV3> bu tbe carefull
[15:20] <xibalban> #qgis-community-team
[15:20] <NickyL> I rebooted the machine, and rebooted the routers
[15:21] <Hatrix76> n3rV3 this is an a D state, which means uninterruptable sleep, you can't kill it, not even with -9
[15:21] <dli> Routers, if it's state is D, it's uninterruptible
[15:21] <Routers> n3rV3 : its still there
[15:21] <GH1234> Hey folks... I have a problem :D I have a file which name is encoded wrong, I can't move it using bash then I think because it says file not found... I can't delete it with nautilus either because nautilus crashs everytime I open the dir :D Any suggestions what to do to rename or delete this file? -.-
[15:21] <Hatrix76> NickyL: I guess you have a harddrive problem dpkg seems to be trying to read off your disk and the disk can't deliver, that's probably the cause of the D state
[15:21] <BluesKaj> NickyL, pls expalin , are you connecting the pc by ethernet -wired or wifi ?
[15:22] <Hatrix76> Routers: I guess you have a harddrive problem dpkg seems to be trying to read off your disk and the disk can't deliver, that's probably the cause of the D state
[15:22] <erUSUL> GH1234: tried bash autocompletion ?
[15:22] <NickyL> I am currently on a laptop, I am having trouble with the desktop
[15:23] <herzi> GH1234, did you try something like "mv foo*bar foobarfixed" (where the * replaces the location of the encoding problem)?
[15:23] <n3rV3> Hatrix76, sorry it seems i have a lot of outdated info
[15:23] <Routers> aaarr
[15:23] <n3rV3> Routers, reboot is your only option
[15:23] <GH1234> erUSUL yep... it's listed but I can't complete as there are two files with the same beginning... adding � leads to not found :D
[15:23] <Sabri> Hatrix76, Ohjeez, that's got a lot of buttons.
[15:23] <GH1234> herzi: I'll test that :=
[15:23] <Infinitus> So now I booted with live USB. I now get an error accessing my HD: [16:22] <Infinitus> Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
[15:23] <Infinitus> [16:22] <Infinitus> missing codepage or helper programm, or other error
[15:24] <herzi> don't test, just succeed
[15:24] <diogo_79> hi guys is there some alternative to dia diagram?
[15:24] <blackshirt1> Infinitus; is your hd was windows partition formated ??
[15:24] <n3rV3> diogo_79, bouml
[15:24] <dli> diogo_79, not the same type, try: xfig, qcad
[15:25] <Hatrix76> Sabri: yeah, <sarcasm> welcome to the world of choice </sarcasm> .... i read you loud and clear, you could also try http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEImage.html
[15:25] <Infinitus> blackshirt1: It just wasn't writeable, so I rebooted. and got the grub rescue console
[15:25] <GH1234> Nice :) The willcard works fine... THX: herzi
[15:25] <Infinitus> with wrong fs
[15:25] <Quantum_Ion> Is there an automatic way to update Oracle Java in Ubuntu Linux ?
[15:25] <herzi> GH1234, you're welcome
[15:25] <Sabri> herzi: There is no try, only do?  I beg to differ:  <?php try { } catch() { } ?>
[15:26] <herzi> Sabri, I program with c, no exceptions and trying there
[15:26] <herzi> ;-)
[15:26] <NickyL> after I try rebooting, if there's still no connection, is there any way to test what the problem could be?
[15:26] <Infinitus> get with dmesg | tail the follwoing: EXT4-fs (sda1): couldn't mount because of unsopported optional features (80008000)
[15:27] <Sabri> herzi: At least you don't dabble in PHP.  I've had enough of PHP written by C coders. ;)
[15:27] <BluesKaj> !who | NickyL
[15:27] <blackshirt1> Infinitus: your live usb maybe doesn't support ext4 file system, is that right ??
[15:27] <herzi> Sabri, I used to (before I got sucked into C completely), but php really isn't a language made for me
[15:27] <zhengshi> I love ubuntu do you?
[15:28] <Hatrix76> Sabri apart from SciTE, you should check this out as well, maybe you will fall in love with vim afterall: http://cream.sourceforge.net/features.html
[15:28] <Guest12942> hello
[15:28] <herzi> kde has umbrella for diagrams, AFAIK
[15:28] <anygivenname> how to extract all zip files in one folder ?
[15:28] <BluesKaj> NickyL, I recommend this setup, network manager not required http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[15:28] <Infinitus> it is ubuntu 10.10 created with unetbootin
[15:28] <Infinitus> I have no idea if it supports ext4 or not.
[15:29] <BluesKaj> !who | Infinitus
[15:29] <dli> anygivenname, it could be messy, but: for f0 in *.zip;do echo "${f0}";unzip "${f0}";done
[15:29] <BluesKaj> anygivenname, install unp , it works best
[15:29] <anygivenname> excuse me
[15:29] <dli> Infinitus, lsmod|grep ext4
[15:31] <Infinitus> dli: no reply at all. does still not work.
[15:31] <dli> Infinitus, is it a custom kernel?
[15:31] <anygivenname> installed unp...where did it go ?
[15:31] <Infinitus> dli: it is the ubuntu 10.10 from unetbootin
[15:32] <dli> Infinitus, uname -a
[15:32] <anygivenname> installed unp...I do not see it Applications
[15:32] <anygivenname> does it run by command line ?
[15:33] <Infinitus> dli: Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22 generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[15:33] <dli> Infinitus, then, I suppose ext4 is supported there
[15:33] <blackshirt1> anygivenname: just using ark could help you
[15:34] <dli> Infinitus, what's the error message from: mount -t auto -oro /dev/blah /mnt/blah
[15:34] <anygivenname> will ark show up or just like unp
[15:34] <b0ot> I'm trying to connect probe a device connected to a serial port, parse the input, and send it out udp to specific port/ip. So far I have figured out that I could use socat to create a connection to the serial device with socat READLINE,history=$HOME/.cmd_history /dev/ttyS0,raw,echo=0,crnl but I'm not sure how to use socat to connect in a way that would let me parse and send it out UDP
[15:34] <anygivenname> how to extract all zip files in one folder ?
[15:34] <jrib> anygivenname: use a for loop
[15:34] <dli> anygivenname, it could be messy, but: for f0 in *.zip;do echo "${f0}";unzip "${f0}";done
[15:34] <h_2_2121> anygivenname, use the command line
[15:34] <uLinux> hm
[15:35] <Rabbitbunny> How would I delete my gnome settings from the command line?
[15:35] <anygivenname> what is the command line for it?
[15:36] <Rabbitbunny> anygivenname: man tar
[15:36] <Infinitus> dli: replace blah... with?
[15:36] <BluesKaj> anygivenname, time you learned to use the cli type unp pathtofilename in the terminal , if the file is in your home folder , right click on the file choose properties/permissions , check the executable , copy the filename from the title box and paste it after unp in the terminal, the file will uncompress into a folder in your /home dir
[15:36] <dli> Rabbitbunny, within ~/.config ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome*
[15:36] <Krishnandu> Hey guys, when I try to make an SVCD with Brasero, and click burn after selecting the movies, it closes. What's the problem guys?? Though brasero works fine for ISO's. Haven't tried anything other else.
[15:36] <Rabbitbunny> dli: Thank you.
[15:37] <Roasted_> are there any other good alternatives to email aside from thunderbird and evolution?
[15:37] <Rabbitbunny> Roasted_: claws-mail
[15:37] <herzi> Krishnandu, use something like gnome-terminal and type "brasero" to start brasero
[15:37] <Roasted_> Rabbitbunny, does it support integrating google calendar?
[15:37] <herzi> maybe it prints out some useful message
[15:37] <Krishnandu> herzi, Okies :)
[15:37] <Rabbitbunny> Roasted_: Probably not.
[15:37] <Roasted_> Rabbitbunny, awesome. don't want it then.
[15:37] <Roasted_> any other suggestions?
[15:37] <kk9822> hi
[15:37] <Roasted_> evolution is like exactly what I want but I'm kind of sick of its problems. :(
[15:38] <Hatrix76> Roasted: try the Zimbra Desktop Client, it can integrate with nearly everything and is a GREAT mail client
[15:38] <Krishnandu> herzi, Closed again :(
[15:38] <kk9822> can any one tell me how to upgrade ue to latest version using terminal
[15:38] <Pici> kk9822: sudo do-release-upgrade
[15:38] <ikonia> !upgrade > kk9822
[15:38] <kk9822> thanks
[15:38] <dli> Infinitus, device as you see in "fdisk -l", and a mount point should be an empty folder, you may create one mount point: sudo make -p /mnt/mydisk
[15:38] <anygivenname> BluesKaj: do u mean I should do that for 20 files just to have them unzipped in the same folder
[15:38] <Hatrix76> Roasted: http://www.zimbra.com/products/desktop.html, and of course, it's free and opensource
[15:38] <anygivenname> i run 20 commands !!!!!!
[15:39] <herzi> Krishnandu, and it didn't print out some error message?
[15:39] <Infinitus> dli: fdisk -l does not reply anything
[15:39] <ikonia> Infinitus: sudo fdisk -l
[15:39] <bastid_raZor> anygivenname: just a guess here.. are you extracting a multiple rar file? like r01 r02 r03 etc?
[15:39] <ws> Rabbitbunny, you can also access a lot of the gnome configurations from gconf
[15:40] <Infinitus> ID 83 is ext4?
[15:40] <dli> Infinitus, or in "ls /dev/disk/by-id/
[15:40] <Krishnandu> herzi, Well...in CLI it printed something...lemme pastebin it
[15:40] <jrib> anygivenname: dli has given you a one line command a couple of times now, but you don't seem to acknowledge his suggestion
[15:40] <Infinitus> dli: ID 83 is ext4?
[15:40] <ikonia> anygivenname: how would you do it on Windows ?
[15:40] <dwxreaper> will cifs shares in fstab be mounted before networking comes up?
[15:40] <anygivenname> did not understand anything from dli's command
[15:40] <honeypot> can I make my desktop a gateway with (wifi router + DSL modem + usb dongle + NIC) ?
[15:40] <dli> Infinitus, try to mount -t auto -oro, it doesn't hurt
[15:40] <ikonia> dwxreaper: then can't be, you have no network
[15:40] <BluesKaj> anygivenname, if it's a media file choose the first one with video content , it will then unzip/uncompress the rest of the files in order into one video / media file
[15:41] <jrib> anygivenname: well if your goal is to *understand*, then you need to read
[15:41] <Krishnandu> herzi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/524488/
[15:41] <jrib> !terminal | anygivenname
[15:41] <dwxreaper> ikonia: when I do networking restart there is a problem with the share
[15:41] <dwxreaper> ikonia: my only option is to change the timeout?
[15:41] <Rabbitbunny> bah, How would I kill gnome/logout my gui session from the command line?
[15:42] <ikonia> dwxreaper: if you restart network while a network mounted share is mount, it will cause a problem
[15:42] <dwxreaper> ikonia: so I have to put something to find what's using it, and unmount it?
[15:42] <dwxreaper> what a pain
[15:42] <yohann> hello all !
[15:42] <ikonia> dwxreaper: just don't restart networking
[15:42] <ws> Rabbitbunny, killall gnome
[15:42] <dli> honeypot, -DSL modem - wifi router, your router should be your gateway already, do you want - DSL - ubuntu - wifi ?

[15:44] <Krishnandu> herzi, Well, I checked for Audio project and Data Project, they are working fine, just the Video project closes unexpectedly
[15:44] <Rabbitbunny> bastid_raZor: My mouse stopped clicking, I'm in the middle of calculations, I need to restart my GUI. You have a better method?
[15:44] <shibuindie> n3rV3:  I can clear my cache now right?
[15:44] <dli> honeypot, so, you setup dhcpd on ubuntu, and set router in bridge mode, or routing all to ubuntu
[15:44] <n3rV3> shibuindie, you mean aptitude's cache?
[15:44] <shibuindie> yes
[15:44] <shibuindie> ?
[15:44] <n3rV3> yes sure
[15:44] <shibuindie> ok..
[15:44] <shibuindie> fine
[15:45] <Pici> shibuindie: sudo apt-get clean
[15:45] <dobak> dont spam
[15:45] <Infinitus> dli: it says: "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

[15:47] <Hatrix76> potter: vlc?
[15:47] <bastid_raZor> Rabbitbunny: you're welcome.. doing a killall on some applications is fine, doing it on your gnome session is insane. things need to shutdown properly
[15:47] <anygivenname> BluesKaj: should it be like unp /home/Downloads/Symantec.Norton.Ghost.v15.0.Incl.Keymaker-CORE/cr-ngh1a.zip
[15:47] <uLinux> potter: speak english :)
[15:47] <www2> hi all
[15:47] <dli> Infinitus, are you sure the fs on disk is ok? fsck -nf
[15:48] <Rabbitbunny> bastid_raZor: This may explain my initial problems. Point noted.
[15:48] <ws> does gnome have locks?
[15:48] <sipior> ws: locks?
[15:48] <ws> I use gnome-shell --replace to replace my gui normally
[15:48] <ws> lock files that hold session info so that it doesn't start cleanly if killed
[15:49] <www2> i want to know is there any plangs to fork virtualbox?
[15:49] <honeypot> dli, "set router in bridge mode, or routing all to ubuntu" do most routers support that?
[15:49] <Rabbitbunny> www2: Why? it works fine.
[15:49] <Infinitus> dli: I hope it is, I was writing a tex file while it happened. "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2"
[15:49] <Krishnandu> No help here :( Ok posting it in Ubuntu Forums, looking forward to get something from there

[15:50] <yohann> is ther an IRC in french please ?
[15:50] <dli> honeypot, all router need a gateway, even if it doesn't support bridge mode, then, you need DHCP support at the wifi router side
[15:50] <Rabbitbunny> !fr | yohann
[15:50] <SandCube> my ubuntu got errors on the file system. Now it keeps giving some messages saying there is an 'unexpected inconsistency: run fsck manually'. how to do it if it does not start?
[15:50] <sipior> ws: occasionally gnome registry information gets corrupted, if that's what you mean, but i don't think gnome uses lockfiles per se (i could be wrong)
[15:50] <SandCube> it keeps rebooting
[15:50] <ViN86> SandCube: could try a live disc, then run it
[15:51] <ViN86> if it keeps rebooting
[15:51] <insane_kangaroo> v.v why can't a release be named after a kangaroo?

[15:51] <dli> Infinitus, I suppose it's hardware, if you have to recover the data, leave it to professionals, otherwise, try to backup the whole disk image. if you don't care about the data, fsck -pf
[15:52] <rstacruz> hola. I seem to have  gotten rid of my sound menu. how can I get it back?
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> rstacruz:  what sound menu?
[15:53] <Infinitus> dli: thanks.
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel
[15:54] <bastid_raZor> rstacruz: indicator applet   is where the sound icon resides.
[15:54] <Necrogami> I have 2 interfaces on my Ubuntu 10.10 server and i'm trying to set 2 public static ip's to the interfaces when one is up i can publicly access the machine but when both are active i can't what is going wrong?
[15:54] <rstacruz> Dr_Willis, this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu
[15:54] <BluesKaj> anygivenname, yes, but Norton ghost is a windows application , are you going to use wimne to run it ?
[15:54] <BluesKaj> wine
[15:54] <rstacruz> bastid_raZor: OHHH
[15:55] <potter> toc toc
[15:55] <Infinitus> dli: will -pf wipe?
[15:55] <insane_kangaroo> Pici: fine, I'll just create a trouble ticket ^_^
[15:55] <rstacruz> bastid_raZor: I managed to switch it for the notification tray by mistake. thanks. :)
[15:55] <potter> somebudy said me how i can run my dvds with subtitles?
[15:55] <bastid_raZor> rstacruz: you're welcome
[15:55] <sipior> Necrogami: can you pastebin the output of ifconfig -a, and route -n?
[15:56] <potter> or any program for this?
[15:56] <Necrogami> sipior: with eth1 up or down?
[15:56] <anygivenname> BluesKaj: just need to edit one file which my antivirus on Win machine removed it
[15:56] <sipior> Necrogami: both, ideally.
[15:56] <Necrogami> kk
[15:56] <Necrogami> one sec
[15:56] <anygivenname> BluesKaj: which command is the right one ?
[15:56] <dli> Necrogami, is the networking normal at the server end?
[15:57] <Shtl> hello all
[15:57] <Shtl> i have wifi networks available around my area, some show a lock kind of thing and one without it. if tried connect it, it will connect and i see the message "wireless connection established" but i am unable to get any web page, any one help me solving this?
[15:57] <honeypot> dli, first of all dsl modem --> NIC right? and then plug wifi usb dongle and connect to wireless router right? now wifi clients don't have internet... What's the next step?
[15:57] <anygivenname> BluesKaj: pls tell me which command is the right one
[15:57] <BluesKaj> anygivenname, why are trying to install norton ghost, it's not an antivirus , it's a disk manager -diskimaging application
[15:58] <Da_Wrecka> Shtl: That's kind of odd... the lock icon means that the network in question is secured, you shouldn't be able to establish a connection at all without the key
[15:58] <anygivenname> BluesKaj: i know.....pls tell me which command is the right one
[15:58] <Necrogami> dli sipior: http://pastie.org/1266928
[15:58] <ikonia> anygivenname: https://help.ubuntu.com look at that, and get a high level oveview of how ubuntu works
[15:58] <ikonia> anygivenname: your not listning, your using the wrong applications
[15:58] <ikonia> anygivenname: read the URL I've just sent you and try to get a basic understanding of how ubuntu works,
[15:58] <BluesKaj> anygivenname, norton ghost won't run on linux without wine , if at all
[15:59] <Shtl> Da_Wrecka: but i can see one signal which dont show the lock
[15:59] <anygivenname> BluesKaj: i know...i will not run it....i wil look into one file in the zip only
[16:00] <anygivenname> BluesKaj: pls tell me which command to use
[16:00] <Necrogami> When just eth0 is up i can route and ping the server from the world
[16:00] <Necrogami> if eth1 is up aswell i cannot
[16:00] <Necrogami> only from local machines
[16:00] <dli> Necrogami, if a packet comes in for eth1 IP, the server replies via eth0, I guess this is a problem
[16:01] <anygivenname> ikonia: i will not use this sw on ubuntu
[16:01] <elTigre> hey, I have extra keys on my keyboard which aren't recognized by ubuntu. The keyboard model isn't supported by keytouch (or at least not the exact model). Basically just 15 extra keys numbered 1-15, but they don't seem to register with X11 ... any idea?
[16:01] <BluesKaj> anygivenname,if you want to learn how to uncpompress files to a folder in linux/ubuntu , unp /pathtofile
[16:01] <dli> Necrogami, maybe, you can not run both NICs within the same subnet
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> elTigre:  its one of those Logitech G15 keyboards?
[16:01] <sipior> Necrogami: what happens if you delete one of the default routes (you should only have one)?
[16:01] <elTigre> Dr_Willis: no, it's a genius slimstar 335
[16:02] <getpwnam> I left my system on overnight, but this morning it had shut off. It booted back up okay, but I'd like to know if there is a log(s) I can read to see what happened?
[16:02] <BluesKaj> ikonia, one can lead a horse to water..... :(
[16:02] <Necrogami> sipior:
[16:02] <Necrogami> ?
[16:02] <anygivenname> BluesKaj: did so...it did not unzip the file nor the serials
[16:02] <jatt> how do I tell if the processor of my laptop supports hardware virtualization (VT-x)
[16:02] <Pici> !piracy | anygivenname
[16:02] <Paddy_NI> getpwnam, Do you have it set to go in to hibernate/sleep mode?
[16:02] <dli> jatt, it's called vmx on intel, "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
[16:02] <ferrico> hi
[16:02] <rstacruz> does network-manager appear in the indicator applet?
[16:03] <Paddy_NI> rstacruz, not yet
[16:03] <sipior> Necrogami: "sudo route del default"
[16:03] <ferrico> when i download and build a tar.bz2 kernel source package
[16:03] <BluesKaj> anygivenname, tell me the name of the file ...I gave instructions earlier , but you didn't read them , I guess
[16:03] <rstacruz> Paddy_NI: so basically, i have to have both "notification area" and "indicator applet" on my panel?
[16:03] <ferrico> whats the location por the kernel header files?
[16:03] <Paddy_NI> the only real legacy notification area applet that is currently being replaced
[16:03] <getpwnam> Paddy_NI: no. the system had been up for a couple of weeks.
[16:03] <jatt> dli: thanks I see vmx in the flags line of cpuinfo so I guess this laptop supports it
[16:04] <Necrogami> sipior: now i can ping eth0 but not 1
[16:04] <Paddy_NI> rstacruz, there is "indicator-network" in the repos but its certainly not ready
[16:04] <sipior> Necrogami: what's the routing table look like now?
[16:04] <anygivenname> BluesKaj: i read & asked u which commands out of the 2 i pasted but u never answered
[16:04] <Necrogami> same thing minus the last line
[16:05] <rstacruz> understood :)
[16:05] <sipior> Necrogami: so the eth1 line remains?
[16:05] <Necrogami> the eth0 line remains the eth1 line was deleted
[16:05] <rstacruz> is there a way for Empathy to /not/ have a notification icon?
[16:05] <Infinitus|usb> dli: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
[16:05] <Infinitus|usb> e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
[16:05] <Infinitus|usb> fsck.ext4: Filesystem revision too high while trying to open /dev/sda1
[16:05] <Infinitus|usb> The filesystem revision is apparently too high for this version of e2fsck.
[16:05] <FloodBot4> Infinitus|usb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:05] <Infinitus|usb> (Or the filesystem superblock is corrupt)
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> rstacruz:  check its plugins/settings
[16:05] <Infinitus|usb> then ext 2 blabla
[16:05] <Dcite> anygivenname: Is this a zipfile you are trying to open?
[16:05] <Agent001> My mouse pointer automatically clicks into things when I hover over it. How do i disable this feature?
[16:05] <sipior> Necrogami: (nice syntax highlighting on pastie.org, by the way :)
[16:05] <Necrogami> lol thanks
[16:06] <n3rV3> Agent001, sys> pref>mouse
[16:06] <rstacruz> Dr_Willis: I can't see anything of relevance there
[16:06] <Dcite> anygivenname: If so try "unzip filename.zip"
[16:06] <Necrogami> sipior: i've been fighting this for 2 days since i installed these servers into my colocation
[16:06] <anygivenname> Dcite: i want to unzip 20 files into one folder in one step
[16:06] <Agent001> I can't seem to find the option on there. I thought I had it when i disable secondary click
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:   unzip '*.zip'   *note the quotes* has worked for me in the past.
[16:07] <Paddy_NI> anygivenname, Are you dealing with a split archive?
[16:07] <BluesKaj> anygivenname, I'll say this only once . Windows applications may or may not have linux equivalents or couterparts , but windows apps , most of them anyway won't run in linux unless you try to run them in wine and even then they may not work
[16:07] <Dcite> anygivenname: unzip -d dest_dir filename.zip
[16:08] <anygivenname> Dcite: but this will unzip only one file
[16:08] <anygivenname> Paddy_NI: yes
[16:08] <Paddy_NI> anygivenname, then you only need to unzip one file
[16:09] <Infinitus|usb> http://paste.ubuntu.com/524497/ that is about it, if anyone has a better idea than "fsck -pf" tell Infinitus
[16:09] <Paddy_NI> anygivenname, are they named "r00, r01, r02" etc?
[16:09] <Quantum_Ion> Pat and Pocket
[16:10] <BlueMatt> Infinitus: have you tried looking for the backup superblocks as it recommends?
[16:10] <Paddy_NI> anygivenname, what is the archive type?
[16:10] <anygivenname> Paddy_NI: r0a to r0t then r15 to r19
[16:11] <Paddy_NI> hmm.. just a moment my gf needs help with something
[16:11] <sipior> Necrogami: still thinking, sorry.
[16:11] <anygivenname> Paddy_NI: zip
[16:11] <Necrogami> np sipior thanks for the help so far
[16:11] <Infinitus> BlueMatt: the command given below, yes. It says bad magic number.
[16:13] <BlueMatt> Infinitus: sorry I had not read the dmesg tail, it looks to me like either a drive failure (most likeley a controller failure) or a mobo failure
[16:13] <BlueMatt> Infinitus: have you tried with another computer/other OS/kernel version/usb drive adapter
[16:13] <sipior> Necrogami: what happens with "sudo route add gw 74.121.183.129 eth1"?
[16:13] <roxdragon> !paste
[16:14] <Necrogami> gw: Unknown host
[16:14] <Infinitus> it is a laptop, its hd seems broken, its CD/DVD seems broken too from what I read from ata2 tail.
[16:14] <Agent001> I still cannot disable auto mouse click on ubuntu
[16:14] <Infinitus> BlueMatt: it is a laptop, its hd seems broken, its CD/DVD seems broken too from what I read from ata2 tail.
[16:15] <Necrogami> Infinitus: that would make me believe more that the mobo controller was going dead
[16:15] <sipior> Necrogami: sorry "...add default gw..."
[16:15] <BlueMatt> Infinitus: Id assume its a problem with the controller on the mobo then, can you try removing them both and try them in a desktop/usb drive adapter
[16:15] <sipior> Necrogami: that should take us back to the previous situation.
[16:16] <Necrogami> sipior: yes
[16:16] <Infinitus> BlueMatt: I can, have never tried though, this will be a fun evening.
[16:16] <Necrogami> and can ping 138 but not 137
[16:16] <anygivenname> Paddy_NI: anything
[16:16] <StaRetji1> Folks, I have usb stick with Ubuntu on it. I'm using it on Intel gpu laptop and on nvidia gpu laptop. Can I edit xorg.conf to recognize which laptop I'm using. Can I put both drivers in Device Section?
[16:16] <sipior> Necrogami: even from the local network? that should be reachable.
[16:16] <bastid_raZor> anygivenname: sounds like your zip archive is broken
[16:16] <Necrogami> oh it is
[16:16] <Necrogami> put from public it's not
[16:16] <StaRetji1> please, I need urgent help, thx
[16:16] <anygivenname> bo
[16:16] <BlueMatt> Infinitus: well it only has an actual error on ata2, and an apparent filesystem fail on sda1, so maybe it is actually a corrupted drive and a failed cd/dvd drive
[16:16] <anygivenname> no
[16:17] <sipior> Necrogami: try setting the "Metric" value of the interface.
[16:17] <Necrogami> sipior: to ?
[16:17] <sipior> Necrogami: anything but 100. 101 will be just fine :-)
[16:17] <BlueMatt> Infinitus: do you happen to know if they are connected to the same controller on the motherboard/are they connected with the same connection type
[16:17] <adam_> Does anyone know if Shotwell (or something?) can be configured to automatically ask to import photos when you plug a camera in? F-spot used to do this.
[16:18] <NickyL1> my wired connection on my desktop died suddenly, and it won't connect.  I'm currently on a laptop.  I tried to run ifup -a, but it wouldnt work.  I also don't have the folder /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/
[16:18] <Necrogami> sipior: how?
[16:18] <anygivenname> if windows does it...i am sure ubuntu does it....it is just that i am not getting simple guidance
[16:19] <c3l> exit
[16:19] <sipior> Necrogami: remove the default route as before. then "route add default gw ... metric 101 eth1"
[16:19] <BlueMatt> anygivenname: what are you trying to do?
[16:19] <Infinitus> BlueMatt: no idea; I am pretty ignorant concerning the hardware, the first HD died too, it had a partial write block. when it was just windows.
[16:19] <bastid_raZor> anygivenname: have you followed the links provided to you?
[16:19] <anygivenname> yes & was not able to do it
[16:19] <BlueMatt> Infinitus: do you know the model number/manufacturer
[16:20] <Lantizia> Hey does anyone here know much about how GParted moves partitions?
[16:20] <Necrogami> now 137 works but not 138
[16:20] <Infinitus> BlueMatt: yeah, but getting a new one would probably be better, it is at the moment just about saving about 3-4MB of tex-files my bachelorthesis... and other stuff.
[16:20] <Necrogami> (from public)
[16:20] <anygivenname> been here for an hour trying to get help for something that takes 3 secs on Win
[16:21] <Necrogami> wait one sec
[16:21] <BlueMatt> Lantizia: GParted will copy partition piece by piece (it tries different piece sizes before starting to see which is the fastest), i believe it does this through libparted
[16:21] <BlueMatt> anygivenname: what are you trying to do?
[16:21] <anygivenname> everyone is talking like i am an expert in ubuntu
[16:22] <BlueMatt> anygivenname: can you repeat what you are trying to do?
[16:22] <Lantizia> BlueMatt, ok well I moving a ext3 partition down by 12 cylinders (from... "13 - 243137" to... "1 - 243126") but the PC reset for some reason
[16:22] <anygivenname> trying to unzip multiple zip files in one folder
[16:22] <Necrogami> sipior: now 37  but not 38
[16:22] <Lantizia> BlueMatt, testdisk has managed to pick up the old partition that was between 13 and 24137... but I'm worried that data is between 1 and 12
[16:23] <BlueMatt> anygivenname: are you on a desktop or on a server ubuntu platform, and are you getting a particular error message/what is happening (sorry im a bit late to the party)
[16:23] <anygivenname> so when i run the rar files they run in sequence
[16:23] <anygivenname> desktop
[16:23] <duffydack> anygivenname, same as you would in windows. select them all and extract here
[16:24] <anygivenname> there is no extract here
[16:24] <BlueMatt> Lantizia: what computer are you using PC/Mac bios/efi, and what does GParted show as the partition table type
[16:24] <goltoof_> trying to get google earth... software center says "there isn't a software package called "Googleearth" in your current software sources
[16:24] <anygivenname> if there was it'd have solved it all
[16:24] <sipior> Necrogami: right, one default route too many. you'll need to do a bit more policy routing. there's a useful guide here: http://kindlund.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/configuring-multiple-default-routes-in-linux/
[16:24] <goltoof_> i already added medibuntu repo to package sources
[16:24] <Lantizia> BlueMatt, it's intel/dos type... just a normal pc
[16:25] <duffydack> anygivenname, are they rar files or zip files, and if rar, are they part of a set
[16:25] <BlueMatt> goltoof_: there is no google earth in the repos, it is closed source and must be downloaded from google
[16:25] <sipior> Necrogami: there they assume a multi-homed host, where yours is technically "multi-homed" on the same network. principle should be the same.
[16:25] <anygivenname> extract here....extracts each to its own folder
[16:25] <Necrogami> thanks sipior
[16:25] <anygivenname> zip
[16:25] <goltoof_> BlueMatt,   funny that it doesnlt mention it here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth
[16:25] <Wipster> hey all, can I get a notification to fire up if my CPU issues its PROC_HOT signal when its at tjmax and throttling?
[16:25] <bastid_raZor> goltoof_: googleeearth-package is in the multiverse repository
[16:26] <BlueMatt> goltoof_: the googleearth-package is designed to take google earth and make a package out of it, I dont really know why google hasnt added it to the partner repos, but as it stands it must be downloaded from google.com
[16:27] <ubuntu__> 89.228.2.214
[16:27] <goltoof_> BlueMatt,   in that case I'll do it the easy way  :)
[16:27] <Lantizia> BlueMatt, why ask the part table type?
[16:27] <matic> Hallo Ubuntu humans!
[16:27] <bastid_raZor> apt-cache policy googleearth-package     goltoof_ type that in a terminal.
[16:28] <BlueMatt> Lantizia: well i dont know of a problem with regular pcs but with a mac or a pc with a different part table type it can cause problems
[16:28] <guampa> heya
[16:28] <Lantizia> BlueMatt, what can?
[16:28] <samfisher> Hi. I connect to my ubuntu 10.10 box with putty (from winxp) and I use X11 forwarding (Xming). After some random time, X11 apps become unresponsive and draw really slow? any idea why?
[16:28] <samfisher> the same issue when testing it from lan, so distance is not the answer
[16:29] <goltoof_> bastid_raZor,   how do i go about installing from cli ?
[16:29] <BlueMatt> Lantizia: it might just be something that your computer is doing that is special.  can you try moving back to just cylinder 12, and go back and see where the problem starts
[16:29] <anygivenname> windows is the best solution for what i wanna do....although it is ironically simple
[16:29] <bastid_raZor> goltoof_: sudo apt-get install googleearth-package
[16:29] <goltoof_> bastid_raZor,  thanks
[16:29] <bastid_raZor> goltoof_: you're welcome
[16:30] <guampa> is there a way to start a vbox guest headless *without* it starting vrdp?
[16:30] <Lantizia> BlueMatt, do you think that between 13 and 24137 is the original data?
[16:30] <BlueMatt> Lantizia: trying to move a partition to cylinder 1, but it should work fine on a regular pc.  are you trying to move a mounted partition?
[16:30] <Lantizia> no it wasn't mounted
[16:30] <Lantizia> like I said the PC reset in the middle of the move
[16:30] <Guest34541> hi all my update manager has not been working since the 10.10 beta keeps returning an error check internet connection obviously i'm conected to the internet any help?
[16:30] <Dirty_Snipe> anyone here know much about phpmotion?
[16:31] <BlueMatt> bastid_raZor goltoof_: the description of package googleearth-package is "This utility makes it possible to build your own personal Debian
[16:31] <BlueMatt> package of Google Earth. "
[16:31] <goltoof_> bastid_raZor,   not quite.. got the package, what about the software?
[16:31] <Dirty_Snipe> keep getting 404 errors on links in menus
[16:31] <Lantizia> BlueMatt, shit happens... but what I really need to know is *how* gparted goes about moving data to know what I'm missing
[16:31] <Guest83432> Hi All, When I start X (Gnome) it prompts me for password (I mean not the GDM), but when I already see my desktop, how I can turn it off ?
[16:31] <goltoof_> BlueMatt,   not quite what i had in mind  :)
[16:31] <BlueMatt> bastid_raZor goltoof_: ie googleearth-package is not google earth but will help you make a package of it
[16:31] <IdleOne> !language | Lantizia
[16:32] <BlueMatt> goltoof_: try http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin and execute it
[16:32] <Guest34541> hi all my update manager has not been working since the 10.10 beta keeps returning an error check internet connection obviously i'm conected to the internet any help?
[16:32] <BlueMatt> Lantizia: what did you originally do/how far was it when copying when your pc crashed
[16:32] <matic> Ubuntu-10.04 has offered a strike notice on my Dell Inspiron 510m sandbox...anyone with an idea if it has ever striked somewhere else so?
[16:33] <Lantizia> BlueMatt, about 20GB of 1.83TB
[16:33] <BlueMatt> Lantizia: i believe i had misunderstood, I though you said it started always crashing everytime you tried to move the partition
[16:33] <Lantizia> no it didn't crash, the PC reset - probably power issues
[16:34] <goltoof_> BlueMatt, "setup.data/setup.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty
[16:34] <goltoof_> "
[16:34] <dean_> Hi is there a way of organising music files in track order like in windows because its listed my tracks in alphabetical order so now I have no idea what listings they go in?
[16:34] <goltoof_> BlueMatt,   when i try installing the GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[16:34] <BlueMatt> Lantizia: well then you may have a problem, it looks like part of the data was moved and now you will have something like ABCDCDEFGHI, this could create a problem reparing it and you will need special software (not just GParted) google is your friend here
[16:35] <Dirty_Snipe> anyone here got phpmotion?
[16:36] <crashanddie> Hi, under Ubuntu, what is the sound piped through? esound? How to enable oss compatible mode? There usually is a command to prepend other commands with.
[16:36] <FloodBot4> !netsplit
[16:36] <crashanddie> under ubuntu 10.10
[16:36] <duffydack> anygivenname, you must have folder structure in the zips for it to etract to folders. Ive just tested with zips with no folder structure, works fine.
[16:36] <goltoof> got disconnected....   trying to install Google Earth,  the .bin i downloaded for it is not working
[16:37] <goltoof> hello?
[16:37] <Fro0z3n> hi
[16:37] <goltoof> ohai
[16:37] <cigan> im running ubuntu server 10.10 when i try to save a file width nano i got this error: permission denined, can some one help me?
[16:38] <BlueMatt> goltoof: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/earth/thread?tid=6f59e15bf811d4e2
[16:38] <goltoof> cigan   sudo
[16:38] <Fro0z3n> sudo su
[16:38] <duffydack> anygivenname, you could use shell, say all your zips are in your home in a folder called zips  then cd into zips and find . -iname "*.zip" -exec unzip -j {} \;
[16:38] <Fro0z3n> e entra como administrador
[16:39] <cigan> tks
[16:39] <Fro0z3n> tem algum brasileiro aqui?

[16:40] <elzoog> I have a question not directly related to Ubuntu.   Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction
[16:41] <dajhorn> !justask | elzoog
[16:41] <Necrogami> sipior: well i won't make that mistake again ... fuck
[16:41] <ikonia> elzoog: if it's not an ubuntu issue, please take it to the correct channell
[16:41] <ikonia> Necrogami: control the langauge please
[16:41] <sipior> Necrogami: what's that?
[16:41] <Necrogami> accidently deleted all the routes table
[16:41] <sipior> Necrogami: ah.
[16:42] <gladiator> how can i mount a macos drive for read and write ? is there a way?
[16:42] <ikonia> gladiator: HFS is read only in the linux kernel
[16:42] <elzoog> I was wondering, I once had a program that would boot my windows partition inside of linux.   It meant that I didn't have to worry about wine compatability because it would actually boot windows (it had the disadvantage that I had to already have windows installed).   What program was that?
[16:42] <user13> Hi, I created a wrong entry to the places menu (a smb-connection), how can I get rid of it?
[16:42] <gladiator> i have dual booted macos with ubuntu ..
[16:43] <ikonia> elzoog: most virtualisation applications can do that
[16:43] <dajhorn> gladiator: Look at the hfsplus package.
[16:43] <elzoog> ikonia:   What virtualization application do you recommend?
[16:43] <remi_> hi, since a week, i can't read a share folder on a win7 PC. A window ask me a login/pass again and again. i can read this share folder with a mac. someone can help me plz? (sorry for my english...)
[16:44] <gladiator> ikonia, thats sad .. while it may not be relevant here .. but can i wipe away the hfs partition and claim it back somehow?
[16:44] <ikonia> elzoog: it's all personal taste
[16:44] <goltoof> BlueMatt,    still underway,  not a very intuitive install...
[16:44] <shashwatpns> Remember we used to have those one file flash applications which would just be like a game you know, can ne1 tell me what kind of programme was it and/or how to develop it?
[16:44] <gladiator> dajhorn, hfsplus would let me write to HFS too?
[16:44] <ikonia> gladiator: just put a supported file system on it, that is the same as formatting
[16:44] <brahem> Anyone know because I will xwinwrap?
[16:45] <elzoog> ikonia:  I want something like that because I already have the program in windows, and the program requires an activation license that I don't want to have to "redo" in wine, only to discover the program doesn't work well with wine.
[16:45] <bobec> my network card just gets 100 Mbps.. other computers connected with the same cable gets 1 Gbps. ive updated the drivers. Ive tried ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg both on and off. when I run modinfo r8169 (my eth0 module) I get "speed:force phy operation. Deprecated by ethtool". that mean I have to "force phy operation"?
[16:45] <ikonia> elzoog: personally, I use kvm
[16:45] <ikonia> !kvm > elzoog
[16:45] <duffydack> elzoog, by '  already had to have windows installed' do you mean you wanna use your existing REAL windows partition, or create one in a virtual guest.
[16:45] <shashwatpns> !shashwatpns
[16:46] <dajhorn> elzoog: VMware can do this with a "raw disk".   VirtualBox can probably do it at the command line.
[16:46] <user13> @all: How can I remove an entry from the places menu? I accidently addes a wrong samba-share.
[16:46] <elzoog> duffydack:  I want to use my already existing windows partition because I already know that everything works there.
[16:46] <brahem> Anyone know because I will xwinwrap?
[16:47] <duffydack> elzoog, back it up before you mess around with using it as a raw disk
[16:47] <brahem> TT
[16:48] <elzoog> Duffy:  What's the difference between that and running as a virtual guest?
[16:48] <BlueMatt> user13: the places menu syncs with the sidebar of nautilus, you can delete them by opening any folder and removing the entry from the sidebar (right click->remove)
[16:49] <user13> @bluematt: thanks!
[16:50] <duffydack> elzoog, both are virtual, just 1 uses your actual windows installation and not a newly created one.
[16:50] <elzoog> ikonia:  What's the difference between kvm and vmware?
[16:50] <user13> @bluematt: it works :-)
[16:52] <crashanddie> elzoog, "KVM": Keyboard, video, mouse.
[16:52] <housam> hi
[16:52] <crashanddie> elzoog, KVM usually refers to a device that allows you to switch the monitor, keyboard and mouse components between multiple physical computers
[16:52] <user13> KVM=Kernelbased virtual machine
[16:52] <housam> i need hellp
[16:53] <Pici> crashanddie: Unfortunately it now means two different things :(
[16:53] <user13> KVM=Kernelbased virtual machinemonitor
[16:53] <crashanddie> oh, and what user13 mentioned. My bad.
[16:54] <elzoog> No, I asked the difference between kvm and vmware
[16:54] <housam> i have wirless Arthro Atheros AR5007EG
[16:54] <BlueMatt> elzoog: vmware is a proprietary closed source virtualizer.  it is often considered feature complete.  KVM is an opensourced solution, but it is only the kernel module its not the gui and the feature set depends on what you use to manage the vms
[16:55] <BlueMatt> elzoog: it depends on what you are trying to do: if you want a simple desktop vm solution try vmware player or virtualbox (free and opensource), if you want server vms kvm is a pretty popular solution but vmware also has options for them
[16:56] <duffydack> elzoog, is it too much to activate it again?   also look in appdb on winehq.org for info about wether your program works.
[16:56] <crashanddie> Anyone using PJSIP, or more specifically, PJSUA on Ubuntu 10.10? For some reason it doesn't detect my soundcard.
[16:57] <elzoog> Duffy:  Yes it's too much to activate it again.   I can only activate it for 3 computers.   I also don't want to deactivate it for actual windows, activate it again in kvm only to find out I don't like how it runs in kvm.
[16:58] <BlueMatt> elzoog: whether you use wine of a vm with a raw disk, you will almost certainly have to reactive, as the vm has very different hardware from your native computer even if it is the same files
[16:59] <elzoog> bluematt:  If the vm is actually using my already existing windows, then it's already activated
[16:59] <BlueMatt> elzoog: it depends on the program, it is possible, but most programs will check your hardware to make sure it is the same computer
[17:00] <jpentland> Hey. I've manged to mess up my grub configuration. How do I just get ubuntu to reconfigure it all in the same way it did when I first installed? Bear in mind i'll need to do this through chroot on a live cd.
[17:00] <delirus> is anyone else having a problem with the buggy beta nvidia drivers in 10.10?
[17:02] <BlueMatt> jpentland: mount the root filesystem, mount /proc and /dev (not sure if proc is required, but dev is), chroot to the mounted filesystem and call grub-install /dev/devicename probably /dev/sda
[17:02] <Dwade09> ok guys i got my folder shared and i got it set into vbox's shared settings permanent and i still can not get the folder to show up
[17:03] <preller> im getting the following error when trying to boot ubuntu 10.10 32bit via CD or USB stick:
[17:03] <preller> (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[17:03] <dajhorn> delirus: Yes, Maverick shipped with dud drivers.
[17:03] <dajhorn> delirus: Get the stable release from x-swat.
[17:03]  * delirus googles x-swat
[17:03] <jpentland> BlueMatt: I tried that but grub is telling me that filessystems don't exist. Its the actual config of grub i need to regenerate because I removed me /boot partition. I can't seem to figure out the new system either after menu.lst was removed
[17:03] <chrowe> Looking for a cheap UPS solution that will power on a Ubuntu system
[17:04] <Tr3LoS> Hello people, I have a major problem with grub. I tried to make it show every time I boot the OS I want to run and now it says only grub rescue
[17:04] <dajhorn> delirus: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[17:04] <Tr3LoS> Now I am running with Live CD
[17:04] <delirus> ty! :D
[17:04] <delirus> you've saved me!
[17:04] <BlueMatt> jpentland, then you need to create a new /boot partition, mount your root filesystem, then root/dev root/proc and root/boot then grub-setup...
[17:04] <dajhorn> delirus: Upgrading from the beta drivers in Maverick reduced my CPU time in X11-land by 90%.
[17:05] <BlueMatt> jpentland: what version are you using, still grub1?
[17:05] <delirus> cpu time?
[17:05] <Dwade09>  ok guys i got my folder shared and i got it set into vbox's shared settings permanent and i still can not get the folder to show up in my windows xp setting.
[17:05] <dajhorn> delirus: The nvidia driver that shipped in Maverick consistently eats 30% cpu time on my computers.
[17:06] <dajhorn> delirus: The stable driver in x-updates idles normally.
[17:06] <jpentland> BlueMatt: whatever comes with the new ubuntu. I installed from scratch. The problem I was having is that I came from archlinux and had a 32mb /boot which wasn't large enough to acommodate ubuntu's kernel images. I wanted to remove the /boot partition and just have it as a folder within /
[17:06] <delirus> oh
[17:06] <delirus> wow
[17:06] <delirus> I'm not getting that
[17:06] <freeday> how to change directory in ubuntu server into my USB
[17:06] <delirus> just total system lockup when I use blender
[17:06] <Tr3LoS> can any1 help me with the grub question I did? :)
[17:06] <BlueMatt> jpentland: oh ok, do you have a /boot folder in your root filesystem?
[17:07] <raidghost> What laptop manufactory should not be choosen when bying laptop?
[17:07] <jpentland> BlueMatt: Yeah, I just copied the contents of the old /boot partition
[17:07] <ganeshran> Hi is there some compatibility issue in Digichat and Ubuntu ?
[17:08] <BlueMatt> jpentland: can you post the commands you have executed and the output of each on paste.ubuntu.com
[17:08] <ganeshran> Its a java based chat which works well in Firefox on windows. But on Linux I face issues like the chat window doesnt close and sometimes the whole chat goes blank
[17:09] <jpentland> BlueMatt: All I did was copy /boot to /boot-old, delete the partition. Rename /boot-old to /boot. Then I chrooted and ran grub-install a couple of times.
[17:10] <BlueMatt> jpentland: try reinstalling the current kernel, as it should automatically reconfigure grub to ubuntu's default
[17:11] <Dwade09> ok guys i installed samba and i set the folder up to be shared but in vbox using xp i do not see the folder.
[17:11] <jpentland> BlueMatt: Ok, how do I do that?
[17:11] <Tr3LoS> Please, can any1 help me with the grub?
[17:12] <_bt> hi
[17:12] <kubanc> has anybody ever installed simprocess on ubuntu?
[17:12] <_bt> how do you mount an audio cd from an iso in ubuntu?
[17:12] <blackshirt> Tr3loS: hello..what the matter with your grub ??
[17:12] <blackshirt> _bt: what you mean ??
[17:13] <jpentland> _bt: You can mount any iso with 'sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop diskname.iso /path/to/dir'
[17:13] <BlueMatt> jpentland: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6. and press tab a couple of times and enter the lastest one (on a 10.10 desktop you probably want linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic)
[17:13] <Zendule> hello
[17:13] <blackshirt> hello Zendule
[17:13] <Tr3LoS> thank god, I was trying to follow some guides so I can make it when booting to show which OS to run (XP, linux) and now I restarted and it just said: sudo rescue> and waited for instruction
[17:14] <nave_> hi evrybody
[17:14] <trans> hello everyone, by mistake I have formatted the partition with grub, now I have booted up from live cd, how to install grub
[17:14] <murbani> can i install apache2 mysql and run a cold fusion app on ubuntu
[17:17] <jpentland> BlueMatt: It's saying it needs to download the package but can't because it can't access the network from within chroot :/
[17:17] <BlueMatt> trans: try mounting all your filesystems to a folder ie /media/root/ including a /media/root/proc and /media/root/dev partition and call sudo grub-setup /dev/drive usually grub-setup /dev/sda
[17:17] <BlueMatt> jpentland: if you have /dev/ and /proc mounted and your computer can access the network, network should work fine
[17:18] <Tr3LoS> blackshirt can it be fixed?
[17:18] <jpentland> BlueMatt: Not sure why it doesn't work then. I have done that. It says 'no address associated with hostname'
[17:18] <trans> BlueMatt: I'm new to Linux, don't understand could u give commands
[17:18] <BlueMatt> jpentland: can you ping 8.8.8.8 or ping your routers ip
[17:19] <Tr3LoS> ...
[17:19] <jpentland> jpentland: ah I can ping my router but dns is completely non-existant
[17:19] <Tr3LoS> Where can I get help about Grub rescue?
[17:19] <BlueMatt> trans: sure, im assuming you only have one drive/your root filsystem is on your first hard drive, can you give the list of partitions and their original mount points by calling ls /dev/sd* and pasting it on paste.ubuntu.com
[17:19] <najwa_> Tr3LoS: yes, exactly.. there are many problem like you
[17:20] <_bt> jpentland: you cannot mount audio cd's this way
[17:20] <_bt> they need presenting as a device surely
[17:20] <najwa_> Tr3lOS: is your system dual booting windows and linux ??
[17:20] <Tr3LoS> najwa I know, just Blackshirt asked what is my problem and he is not in chat now
[17:20] <dpackard> Hi all, anyone out there with experienced with tftpd-hpa ??
[17:20] <Tr3LoS> Yes I have windows an linux
[17:21] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: can you boot to a livecd and mount your root filesystems, chroot and call grub-setup?
[17:21] <Tr3LoS> I am now booting with livecd
[17:21] <jpentland> _bt: It might depend what app you're using. I know vlc will play it if you just point it at the location you mounted it
[17:21] <_bt> jpentland: it doesn't mount cos there is no filesystem??
[17:21] <najwa_> Tr3loS: boot with your livecd and enter to rescue mode, or if there option to reinstall grub, choose it
[17:21] <trans> BlueMatt: I called that command, it showing non of the partions as mounted
[17:22] <freeday> how to view files on my USB on ubuntu server, im using VMware?
[17:22] <Tr3LoS> I am now with livecd, without livecd nothing opens. It only says "grub rescue>" and it waits for a commant
[17:22] <BlueMatt> trans: yes none of them will be mounted on the livecd unless they are mounted manually, I just wanted to see the drives you have so that i can help you with the mount /dev/sd... /media/root/... command
[17:23] <TendencyDriven> What's with the #ubuntu-unregged channel? ;O I'm registered...
[17:23] <jpentland> _bt: I've not heard of that error before. All I can say is make sure you specified the right file and a valid mountpoint and that you included it '-o loop' option
[17:23] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: the livecd should boot fine even if grub is completeley messed up, are you sure you have your bios set to boot the cd before the harddrive
[17:23] <Pici> TendencyDriven: You aren't identified.
[17:23] <TendencyDriven> Anyone have any experience with the customisation back MacBuntu?
[17:23] <manhunter> what's the command to unrar a file
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> manhunter:  unrar can do that..
[17:24] <Tr3LoS> yes, the livecd boots fine.. If I have no livecd inside it just says "grub rescue>" and it doesnt open windows or linux
[17:24] <BlackToW3x> its unrar
[17:24] <manhunter> Dr_Willis: yes,what's the full command?unrar -e ?
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> syntax may be unrar -e foo.rar (or x)
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> manhunter:  try  unrar --help or man unrar
[17:25] <Jef91> Anyone know what the package for fspot is called in 10.04?
[17:25] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: ok can you boot the livecd and open a terminal and mount your root filesystems the chroot and call grub-setup, if you need more detailed instructions please ask?
[17:26] <trans> BlueMatt: I have mounted the partions as at /media, now what to do?
[17:26] <jpentland> BlueMatt: ahh, resolvc.conf was empty because networkmanager wasn't running to fill it in
[17:26] <Tr3LoS> blueMatt if you can give me some more directions how to mount through terminal would be wonderful :) I am now running with livecd
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> !mount
[17:26] <BlueMatt> trans: once you have your root, boot mounted and have a proc and dev mounted call sudo chroot /media
[17:27] <NativeAngels> what is the lightest version of ubuntu for using on old hardware, but with wireless support
[17:27] <tensorpudding> lubuntu, maybe?
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> NativeAngels:  any of them should have wireless support.
[17:28] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: what you need to know is where your root filesystem is and any other filesystems that you may need (only really neccessary if you have a seperate /boot partition) they should be in the form /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 /dev/sd3...
[17:28] <tensorpudding> how weak is the hardware?
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> NativeAngels:  Lubuntu - smallest with a 'full' desktop./
[17:28] <NativeAngels> its a old dell latitude
[17:28] <Sean93> what should i suse to backup my system? CLI preferred
[17:28] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: you can find out what there is by calling ls /dev/sd*
[17:28] <BlackToW3x> Tr3Los first creat a an empty folder with "mkdir test" then mount your partition with "mount /dev/sda* test" change the * with the number of your hard disk to see wich number type this "fdisk -l"
[17:28] <Sean93> use**
[17:29] <tensorpudding> NativeAngels: you might be able to run plain-old Ubuntu on it if it has 256 MB of RAM or more
[17:29] <NativeAngels> have tried xubunu but its sluggish
[17:30] <BlackToW3x> Tr3Los just type this "fdisk -l"
[17:30] <freeday> when I enable USB on VMware, ubuntu server detect: [1546.000858] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through. How do I able to view files on my USB through this?
[17:30] <Tr3LoS> I did it BlackToW3x
[17:31] <Tr3LoS> linux is on  /dev/sda1 and windows on /dev/sda2
[17:31] <BlackToW3x> Tr3Los what did you get as result ??
[17:31] <Tr3LoS> sda3 and 4 are extended and swap
[17:31] <BlackToW3x> Tr3Los good
[17:31] <BlackToW3x> now
[17:31] <BlackToW3x> which one you want to mount ?
[17:32] <BlackToW3x> windows ??
[17:32] <Tr3LoS> I want to make dualboot
[17:32] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: call mkdir test mount /dev/sda1 /test then call mount --bind /proc test/proc and mount --bind /dev test/dev
[17:32] <Tr3LoS> so that it asks everytime which os to choose
[17:33] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: sorry that should be mkdir test; mount /dev/sda1 test
[17:33] <Tr3LoS> mount: only root can do it
[17:33] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: place a sudo in front of each mount command
[17:33] <neek__> not only
[17:33] <Tr3LoS> right :P
[17:33] <Sean93> what should i use to backup my system? CLI preferred
[17:33] <Tr3LoS> according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /home/ubuntu/test
[17:34] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: good that just means that it already succeeded earlier, so just continue
[17:34] <neek__> what can i do for install DNS
[17:34] <Tr3LoS> mount --bind /dev test/dev returns nothing
[17:34] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: thereafter you should be able to call "sudo chroot test" and get a root prompt on your root filsystem
[17:35] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: if mount returns nothing it succeeded
[17:35] <Tr3LoS> ok I got root
[17:35] <m_fulder> hey
[17:35] <m_fulder> how can I check who is connected to my network? I.e. all the used local IPs?
[17:35] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: ensure everything is good my calling ls /dev and ls /proc to ensure it all mounted well
[17:35] <ClvrRt_> join #python
[17:36] <llutz> m_fulder: sudo lsof -i
[17:36] <qsma> CO tam??
[17:36] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: they should just return a lot of files
[17:36] <Cedara> Question regarding MKV and Totem: I had it recently that Totem suddenly ended playing an mkv file. When I reopened it, set it shortly before that bit and replayed there, it went fine. Freakish error or where should I look to as the why?
[17:36] <Tr3LoS> ls /proc returns nothing
[17:36] <jpentland> BlueMatt: Ok I've reinstalled the kernel, but at generating grub.cfg I gave me "Cannot find list of partitions" :/
[17:36] <Tr3LoS> ls /dev returns a lot of files :)
[17:37] <NickyL1> My network connection stopped working on my computer.  The router works fine, since I'm connected to it on a different computer.  I rebooted the whole system, and I did ifconfig, and everything seems fine.  When I try to access the d-link router, I can not open the IP address
[17:37] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: good now we will install grub
[17:38] <Tr3LoS> great :D
[17:38] <BlueMatt> jpentland: try grub-mkdevicemap
[17:38] <warpi> hello! do anyone know why my usb device dont show up under /dev ?
[17:38] <coraxx> rusivi: hi there ... did you see my update to the PDF/Evince bug report ?
[17:38] <jpentland> BlueMatt: ok. Thanks for this btw
[17:38] <m_fulder> llutz, that command only shows my own IP and some of the ports Ive opened?
[17:38] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: call "grub-setup /dev/sda"
[17:39] <rusivi> coraxx: not yet, what is the bug number?
[17:39] <Tr3LoS> ok It returned nothing
[17:39] <llutz> m_fulder: + the tcp-connections
[17:39] <coraxx> 667752
[17:39] <jpentland> BlueMatt: Ran apt-get again and it gave me the same message
[17:39] <_Neytiri_> how do i create a fake netwrok interface so i can connect with vm's running onthe mahcine and have that local only
[17:39] <andrew__> can anyone tell me where to find drivers for ati 9200se?
[17:39] <m_fulder> llutz,  I wanted to see all the computers local IP connected to my router (LAN)
[17:40] <nwebie454> i built a new ubuntu kernel and installed the debs for uimage & headers. For the installed kernel : /lib/modules/2.6.36-1-generic/build is missing . google says kernel-smp-devel package  is missing. how do i generate this if i building from sources?
[17:40] <coraxx> warpi: only when a module is loaded for the USB device will you see it in devices.
[17:40] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: ok now im not sure about that it should have given some diagnostic info, let me check really quick
[17:40] <Tr3LoS> should I quit root maybe?
[17:40] <DiogenesW> servus
[17:41] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: no, let me check what it returns on my system
[17:41] <Tr3LoS> ok
[17:41] <coraxx> rusivi: the bug no. is 667752
[17:41] <llutz> m_fulder: sudo nmap -sP 192.168.10.0/24         or whatever your network is
[17:43] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: no it should return no output, but it doesnt do quite what i thought it did, so i need to recheck and figure out exactly which command you need
[17:43] <Lars_G> Is there any way I can set a skeleton resolv.conf so no matter what entries the dhcp adds nameserver 127.0.0.1 will always be the first?
[17:43] <Tr3LoS> ok dude, I will be waiting. Thanks a lot for your help
[17:44] <vigge_sWe> hi
[17:44] <Lars_G> Tr3LoS: What you're trying to do?
[17:44] <jpentland> BlueMatt: Ok it booted despite that error. Thanks for the help
[17:44] <andrej_> hi. can anybody help me? my new headphones dont works on my Ubuntu 10.04 after I plug them. my notebook ASUS F3KA. thank you
[17:44] <warpi> coraxx, hi! i made a "diff" now before and after plugging in the device. and after plugging in the usb device i get "hidraw0" and "hidraw1"... how come there is no ttyUSB0 for example?
[17:44] <vigge_sWe> I am dualbooting with ubuntu and win7 and I had to reinstall win7 today, but that disabled GRUB so I can't boot into ubuntu anymore, how could I fix this?
[17:44] <BlueMatt> jpentland: ok well you should be able to reinstall with a new config with grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[17:45] <andrew__> anyone know where I can get drivers for ati 9200se?
[17:45] <Tr3LoS> I am trying to dualboot my PC (win,linux) because it says at booting grub rescue and I cant open neither OS
[17:45] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: ok, can you try grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[17:46] <coraxx> warpi: I think it's because the ttyUSB dev. is for the serial-module ... when USB "acts" like a regular serial cable
[17:46] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: "Installation finished. No error reported."
[17:46] <hovefirse> Hi folks! I just plugged in my wireless networking USB-adapter, and now I'm struggling to activate it. "sudo ifdown wlan1" gives me "ifdown: interface wlan1 not configured" and "sudo ifup wlan1" gives me "Ignoring unknown interface wlan1=wlan1." The drivers seem to be in place...now what?!
[17:46] <BlueMatt> jpentland: yea grub-install --recheck will regenerate the device map and should fix the error if you want the grub error to go away
[17:47] <coraxx> warpi: if the usb-device you are attaching is not a serial (COM-port) device, then that might explain it
[17:47] <warpi> coraxx, ok... because, this device have been showing up as ttyUSB0 before i installed ubuntu 10.10 i think...
[17:47] <sipior> Lars_G: yep, you want to set the "prepend domain-name-servers" option in dhclient. have a look at the dhclient.conf manpage (the example file at the end specifically adds localhost to the resolv.conf)
[17:48] <coraxx> warpi: what kindda device is it ?  (is it a composite device ? -meaning 2 in 1)
[17:48] <rusivi> coraxx: Good work, just checked out the example pdf, it demos the error your referring to, I'll mark the bug as confirmed and we'll take it from there.
[17:48] <Lars_G> sipior: thank you sir
[17:49] <warpi> coraxx, its a cheap usb temperature device
[17:49] <warpi> http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/temper-tools
[17:49] <goltoof> gnome-panel bug, recently the area to toggle workspace moved over to the left side... any way to move it back over to the right?   dragging etc does nothing
[17:49] <MrsB> vigge_sWe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[17:49] <coraxx> rusivi: thanx  :-)
[17:49] <sipior> Lars_G: no trouble. actually, looking through the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file on my system, i note that the line appears in the file already: you should just have to uncomment it.
[17:49] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: now call update-grub and it should check for your windows partitions and if it lists Windows as found, you should be good to reboot and try it
[17:50] <ikhider> Greetings all, I have a video camera and a still camera. I want to do video conferencing. Do I still need to buy a webcam?
[17:50] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524566/
[17:50] <coraxx> warpi: ok ...so if the previsous Ubuntu (linux kernel) couldn't identify the USB method of connecting, it probably assumed SERIAL ...and the later version might have figured out the real method ..the raw-thingy.
[17:51] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: could you have forgotten to call "mount --bind /proc test/proc" before you called chroot.  if so just call "exit" the "mount --bind /proc test/proc" then sudo chroot test again
[17:51] <vince2678> I have an EVDO modem and it is NOT detected by ubuntu. What do I do?
[17:51] <filleokus> http://savast.web01.kund.melmac.se/projekt/bilpool/
[17:52] <Dusty_> Hey guys!
[17:52] <aidang> Hi
[17:52] <Dusty_> I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04.
[17:52] <goltoof> Dusty_  why not 10.10?
[17:52] <Dusty_> the intel driver loaded and worked great for me on my gma 950 chipset
[17:52] <Dusty_> but now its not loading :(
[17:52] <Dusty_> because 10.10 did not load my intel driver
[17:52] <Dusty_> so I installed 9.04, which did
[17:52] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: It shows me the same again
[17:52] <Dusty_> not 10.04 is not loading my intel driver again
[17:53] <Dusty_> now*
[17:53] <aidang> Big reinstall 10.04 to 10.10 a few days ago
[17:53] <vince2678> hi!
[17:53] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: that seems very odd, when you call "mount" after chroot does it show any errors?
[17:53] <ikhider> Greetings all, I have a video camera and a still camera. I want to do video conferencing. Do I still need to buy a webcam?
[17:53] <Dusty_> does anyone know why my Intel driver isnt loading anymore? D:
[17:53] <goltoof> so either way you go intel driver won't load... i'd focus getting it loading in 10.10
[17:53] <ikhider> How can I video conference with a video camera?
[17:53] <Dusty_> I think im going to downgrade to 9.10. 10.x just seems to suck hard
[17:54] <ikhider> The video cam has both firewire and usb connector
[17:54] <goltoof> ikhider  skype
[17:54] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: mount: mount point test/proc does not exist
[17:54] <ikhider> goltoof, Yes, but how?
[17:54] <Dusty_> I camped in this IRC channel for a few days, and no one was able to figure out why Intel wasn't load, Goltoof
[17:54] <ikhider> goltoof, How do I get ubuntu to recognize the video camera
[17:54] <Sean93> " You can even remove every single file of a Linux system while it is running with one command." what is the command?
[17:54] <goltoof> Dusty_    if you don't configure it properly,, yes it will suck hard
[17:54] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: are you still within the root chroot prompt
[17:54] <goltoof> ikhider   sudo apt-get install skype
[17:55] <Dusty_> I'm not exactly a linux genius, but I know how to configure X.org. There's something *wrong* with it
[17:55] <ikhider> goltoof, Yes, I have it. But the computer does not yet recognise the video camera
[17:55] <vince2678> if you have a webcam and want to login using face recognition, go to http://code.google.com/p/pam-face-authentication/
[17:55] <goltoof> ikhider,    what kind of camera?  if it doesn't include drivers you'll need to snoop around for an installer package
[17:55] <Tr3LoS> yes
[17:55] <ikhider> goltoof, I have a panasonic video camera
[17:55] <Nach0z> hello hello. How would I use ubuntu terminal to show me how many computers are connected to the LAN that the computer's on at that moment?
[17:55] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: I had exited, mounted and then root again
[17:55] <opers_alert> gnaa here
[17:55] <goltoof> ikhider,   model
[17:55] <opers_alert> sup
[17:56] <Dusty_> goltoof: How do I tell what Driver linux has loaded?
[17:56] <BlueMatt> Tr3Los: ok if you call cat /proc/uptime do you get two numbers?
[17:56] <vince2678> Ubuntu rocks!
[17:56] <ikhider> goltoof, PV-GS70D
[17:56] <vince2678> lsmod : list drivers in use by system
[17:57] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: Yes: 3794.49 3339.62
[17:57] <opers_alert> gnaa member here
[17:57] <blakkheim> lol
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> vince2678: if you run:  sudo lshw | less   you can see what modules drive what :)
[17:57] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: and you still get the error when you try to call update-grub?
[17:57] <Dusty_> uhhh... it looks like its loading i915 drivers >_>
[17:57] <Sabri> Your homework is due in less than twelve hours.  Now is not a good time to set up Evolution with a six year old Gmail account that you've never pruned.
[17:57] <besogon> Anyone who can help me in recognizing what  udevd[81] is at boot time!
[17:57] <Sean93> " You can even remove every single file of a Linux system while it is running with one command." what is the command?
[17:57] <Tr3LoS> yup
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: don't
[17:58] <Pelo> afternoon folks,  I heed a little help with sudoers I need to run the shutdown command without  root or sudo
[17:58] <vince2678> Intel graphics are troublesome : I cant play Runescape High Def. online
[17:58] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: and can you call just "mount" and get a list of mounted filesystems or an error?
[17:58] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: when I time mount on root it gives this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524569/
[17:58] <goltoof> Sean93,   alt+f4
[17:58] <Sean93> goltoof: orly??
[17:58] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: why not??
[17:58] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: good can you try calling "update-grub" again?
[17:58] <Dusty_> say Goltoof, do you know why it might be loading i915 drivers and not intel? I have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf...
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> Pelo:
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> Pelo: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/315/how-to-shutdown-and-reboot-without-sudo-password/
[17:59] <vince2678> exit
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Pelo: I recommend you run:   export EDITOR=nano    first
[17:59] <Pelo> ActionParsnip, thanks
[17:59] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: Still the same
[17:59] <alex_> :O
[17:59] <goltoof> Dusty_  purge current one, install proper one?   just a thought...
[17:59] <alex_> anybody here run ubuntu on a SSD?
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: you know why, its not funny
[17:59] <Wicla_> Hello. Are there any way to supress debconf after a package is installed (with apt-get) or similar tools?
[17:59] <Pelo> ActionParsnip, already running nano can't get the hang of vi
[17:59] <blakkheim> Pelo: i recommend you run: export EDITOR=vim  first
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> alex_: many do
[17:59] <Wicla_> it's going to be used in a script
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Pelo: me neither
[17:59] <vince2678> does anyone use ubuntu with BTRFS?
[17:59] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: from within the chroot what does cat /proc/mounts give?
[17:59] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: I'm just curious
[17:59] <anonymous_1> I can't run my binaries, ubuntu 10.10 amd64 gives me msg "there is no application installed for executable files"
[18:00] <Kartagis> !find glxinfo
[18:00] <alex_> ok. i was reading something on newegg about people complaining about SSD's compatibility. though it seems to me like they just didn't know what they were doing. i didn't realize a piece of hardware could be so sensitive about what type of filesystem is on it
[18:00] <besogon> Anyone who has made 'power button' work in lubuntu need your advise
[18:00] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524574/
[18:00] <goltoof> gnome-panel bug, recently the area to toggle workspace moved over to the left side... any way to move it back over to the right?   dragging etc does nothing
[18:00] <alex_> i just got my kingston 64GB SSD and am in the process of installing faildows 7.
[18:00] <anonymous_1> I can't run my binaries, ubuntu 10.10 amd64 gives me msg "there is no application installed for executable files"
[18:00] <alex_> but i already made a partition to put ubuntu on
[18:01] <anonymous_1> @alex why do you install windows if you dont like it?
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: I PMed it you
[18:01] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: and you still get /proc/mounts: No such file or directory on calling update-grub?
[18:01] <blakkheim> !repeat | anonymous_1
[18:01] <vince2678> alex: Install windows first then Ubuntu
[18:01] <Nach0z> does anybody know how to see how many computers are on the local network through Terminal?
[18:01] <besogon> anonymous_1: Evidently you haven't properly Mime typpe
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: use nmap
[18:01] <anonymous_1> @besogon what does that mean?
[18:02] <vince2678> alex: Windows will mess up Linux MBR and might delete Linux partitions
[18:02] <anonymous_1> @besogon and how to fix it?
[18:02] <Nach0z> thanks action
[18:02] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524576/
[18:02] <anonymous_1> @vince2678 it doesn't, AROS does it
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: easier is to look in your routers dhcp client list
[18:02] <goltoof> ActionParsnip,   any a specific command to view that with nmap?
[18:02] <Tr3LoS> Is it ok now?
[18:03] <besogon> anonymous_1: For instance, txt files should be opened by gedit. There should be mime type for that. Purely binare files don't need it. They starts if they can
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: http://nmap.org/book/man-host-discovery.html
[18:04] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: im not sure, i dont think so as it didnt find your windows partition/ie currently only ubuntu will be bootable
[18:04] <Nach0z> @actionparsnip Nmap is showing me open ports, not which computers are on the network.
[18:04] <anonymous_1> @besogon i had 10.04 i386 and amd64 before and binaries worked
[18:04] <laffer> hi. when I run glade it returns some errors. can someone help me
[18:04] <Tr3LoS> Should I try to boot with ubuntu and then can I make it dualboot?
[18:04] <m_fulder> ah works great chanks llutz :)
[18:04] <anonymous_1> @besogon i wanted to check if i didnt screw up anything, but 10.10 amd64 live has same problem
[18:04] <Wicla_> Hello. Are there any way to supress debconf after a package is installed (with apt-get) or similar tools? It's used in a automated script and would prefer not to get the dialog
[18:04] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: i would reboot and see if ubuntu boots then try sudo update-grub there
[18:05] <Tr3LoS> ok man, Thanks a lot for your help! I will return If I face any problems :)
[18:06] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: no problem
[18:06] <anonymous_1> @besogon
[18:06] <Dusty_> hmm.. actually, it looks like Intel driver is loading. I just cant enable compositing anymore
[18:06] <coder2> i cannot mount my disk drives in my ubuntu lucid
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: then use a different option
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> !mount | coder2
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> coder2: you don't mount drives, you mount partitions
[18:07] <Dusty_> goltoof: hmm.. actually, it looks like Intel driver is loading. I just cant enable compositing anymore
[18:08] <laffer> can someone help me with glade outputting some errors on the terminal
[18:08] <coder2> ActionParsnip: YUP ofcourse
[18:08] <coder2> ActionParsnip: will you help
[18:08] <Tr3LoS_> BlueMatt: Great News! It found Windows!
[18:08] <dli> Wicla_, I wonder whether FAI would work for you? http://wiki.fai-project.org/wiki/FAI_multi-distribution
[18:08] <Tr3LoS_> But still it boots Ubuntu :P
[18:08] <Tr3LoS_>  Found Microsoft Windows XP Professional on /dev/sda2
[18:09] <besogon> anonymous_1: very strange situation. I have never heard about such things. May be there have to be special binaries for amd64... Anyway. imho if you have right permission for the file you can start it. If you sill can't start it it's bad binary file. you can't do anything else but run it with Virtual Box or wine
[18:09] <capmtripps> can anyone answer me as to why my keyboard doesn't respond in the GRUB screen (that is the bootloader if I understand correctly)?
[18:09] <anonymous_1> @besogon ;_;
[18:10] <dli> capmtripps, hope it's not a wireless keyboard
[18:10] <coder2> my ubuntu lucid is not showing other partitions,help
[18:10] <anonymous_1> quit /bawww
[18:10] <capmtripps> DLI> you called it man
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> coder2: run: sudo fdisk -l   to see your partitions
[18:10] <capmtripps> DLI> anything to be done?
[18:11] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: great
[18:11] <dli> capmtripps, if the wireless keyboard can not be handled by BIOS, you may have to use a wired one
[18:12] <capmtripps> DLI> it works fine in the bios, but not inbetween loading an OS
[18:12] <x[x]> hey is there a program like netlimiter for ubuntu?
[18:12] <dli> capmtripps, I guess it's more likely to work if it's not bluetooth
[18:12] <ko_> hello
[18:12] <capmtripps> should I just get a wired one?
[18:14] <Dusty_> does anyone know why I cant enable compositing after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04?
[18:14] <Wicla_> dli: hm. I'm not sure. We are using a bash script which installs the packages right now (libnss-ldap is showing dialog). Would be preferable if it's possible to skip that step and parse the files with sed or something instead
[18:15] <erle-> how to get rid of the indicator applets?
[18:15] <Tr3LoS> BlueMatt: Does it need configuration now to dualboot or is it ok?
[18:16] <dli> Wicla_, in long run, FAI would be the way to go, better with PXE booting. but debconf preseed might be what you are looking for: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/394
[18:16] <JoeMaverickSett> erle-: right click on them > remove from panel ?
[18:16] <coder2> ActionParsnip: on giving command this message is coming
[18:16] <erle-> JoeMaverickSett, then they come back on relogin
[18:16] <JoeMaverickSett> erle-: ah, haven't thought about that, sorry. :-/
[18:17] <coder2> ActionParsnip: sudo:must be setuid root
[18:17] <erle-> they consume not less than 70 MB RAM and do nothing useful
[18:17] <erle-> (i don't use evolution)
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> coder2: http://pastebin.com/RkxJ8twD
[18:18] <BlueMatt> Tr3LoS: it should have Windows in the list of kernels/OSs when you boot automatically now. you just need to move down and select it before it times out and boots the default (ubuntu)
[18:18] <klawd> hi! what's the easiest way to ugrade from 10.04 to 10.10?
[18:18] <ibayley> can someone pls help wz https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/132180
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> erle-: then remove evolution packages but don't remove evolution-data-server-common as it's a dep of gnome-panel
[18:19] <erle-> ActionParsnip, it is removed since 7.10
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | klawd
[18:19] <Tr3LoS> ok, Thanks again dude, you saved me!
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> erle-: me too :), same release too

[18:20] <ko_> hello
[18:20] <erle-> but there are still two ubuntu notification applets consuming 70 MB of memory
[18:20] <ko_> i have got a usb camera that is connected via a usb Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 Hub [ednet])
[18:21] <klawd> ActionParsnip: thanks
[18:21] <ko_> when the camera is connected directly via usb to my laptop (ubuntu hardy heron) it is able to communicate with my laptop, but through the usb hub it is NOT, what can be done?
[18:21] <blakkheim> ko_: don't use the hub :/
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> ko_: the cam uses the USB to provide power, you more than likely have an unpowered hub
[18:22] <Dr_Willis>  or an underpowered hub..
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> or its a cheap POS
[18:23] <sivakumar> i have a problem on drpes start up can any one help me
[18:24] <commodoor> i have a huge problem with wifi in ubuntu, i get "wpa_supplicant[1263]: Association request to the driver failed" it works perfect but at one point i just crashes and i'm unable to connect again, only fix is reboot
[18:24] <erle-> without notification area, there is no volume control ...
[18:24] <ko_> the cam usually should work onyl with powered hubs
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> erle-: you can run alsamixer in terminal and do it there, so, not true
[18:24] <ko_> myaybe it is underpowered, but with windows it works
[18:25] <freeday> mount vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb = error: mount : only root can do that?
[18:25] <erle-> ActionParsnip, i am talking about the applet, of course
[18:25] <nothingspecial> freeday sudo !!
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> erle-: sure but you can still control volume without it
[18:26] <nothingspecial> freeday: oh and -t b4 vfat
[18:26] <erle-> works now
[18:26] <erle-> i run gnome-volume-control-applet
[18:26] <freeday> you mean sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb <---this way?
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> freeday: looks good, also /mnt/usb folder MUST exist
[18:27] <sivakumar> is there any software like movie maker in ubuntu
[18:27] <nothingspecial> freeday: yep
[18:27] <freeday> aw..i need to create folder in /mnt first
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> freeday: i'd add -o rw,uid=1000    too
[18:27] <commodoor> did anyone get a "wpa_supplicant[1263]: Association request to the driver failed" error?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> freeday: the /mnt folder exists, you'll need to make the usb subfolder though
[18:28] <coder2> ActionParsnip: the link you posted i followed but getting another error
[18:28] <freeday> yeah i know but /usb isnt there yet...i need to create one
[18:29] <vigge_sWe> hi
[18:29] <vigge_sWe> can I upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 without loosing my files and apps etc_
[18:30] <nothingspecial> vigge_sWe: Yes
[18:30] <vigge_sWe> how_
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> vigge_sWe: sure, the binarys will be upgraded to maverick, your user data not only should be backed up regularly if it's important but will be untouched by the upgrade process
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | vigge_sWe
[18:30] <vigge_sWe> when I run install I only get options to use the whole disk, create partition
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> vigge_sWe: you dont boot to the desktop CD to upgrade
[18:31] <nothingspecial> Do it from 10.04
[18:31] <nothingspecial> vigge_sWe: ^^
[18:31] <errr> so was support for intrepid dropped today?
[18:32] <vigge_sWe> well, I can\t access 10.04 anymore
[18:32] <vigge_sWe> I reinstalled my win7 partition as it was broken
[18:32] <ko_> i want to compile kdevelop 4 on hardy heron, should i facse any problems since hardy heron is a bit older ?
[18:32] <Pici> errr: No. It was dropped on April 30th.
[18:32] <vigge_sWe> so I have to enable grub first
[18:32] <vigge_sWe> but I lost the link again >
[18:32] <nothingspecial> vigge_sWe: Either fix grub or create a home partition
[18:32] <errr> Pici: well I guess I mean by dropped was it removed from mirros today?
[18:32] <errr> mirrors*

[18:38] <Kevindeuxieme> what about purge?
[18:38] <beinghuman> MaverickMaverick: well nevermind that
[18:38] <ironfroggy_> with ubuntu netbook, does anyone know how to edit entries in the launcher?
[18:38] <beinghuman> how can I access onboard keyboard
[18:38] <ikhider> goltoof, you there?
[18:38] <ironfroggy_> i cant figure out how to add items, only remove
[18:38] <beinghuman> NOT at th elogin screen
[18:39] <sivakumar> goltoof, no need to reinstall gnome panel we can set them
[18:39] <goltoof> even with purge it doesn't even close gnome-panel
[18:39] <goltoof> sivakumar,   yes?
[18:39] <sivakumar> goltoof, what are u suppose to say
[18:39] <trans> hello everyone, I have deleted the partion which has all the info regarding grub n patition table, now I cant install grub to another partition as there is no partion table
[18:39] <goltoof> sivakumar,  ?
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: lock or unlock what?
[18:40] <MaverickMaverick> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=c8e1cfd3a3bc09a3434d3cb7ef17329a&p=10062739#post10062739 similar problem - any hints?
[18:40] <sivakumar> goltoof, what is u r problem
[18:40] <trans> so what should I do to install partition table with exsiting patitions
[18:40] <ironfroggy_> trans: the partition table is not in any partition. thats kind of the point.
[18:40] <shomon> I get this weird message on my local webserver (just installed, to try some php5 stuff) - Download ... which is a PHTML file. How do I fix this?
[18:40] <ironfroggy_> what did you do exactly? or, rather, how?
[18:40] <goltoof> ActionParsnip,  the workspace toggler... can't drag when unlocked
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: if you right click items in the panel you can unlock then move them. If you are using the netbook remix then this is disabled
[18:40] <goltoof> sivakumar,   i have absolutely no idea what you're talking about
[18:40] <ikhider> okay, what is a good linux friendly webcam to buy?
[18:41] <trans> ironfroggy_ I had grub at /dev/sda6, it was needless for me, so I deleted n tried to reformat as ext4,
[18:41] <goltoof> ActionParsnip,   yes it's unlocked but i still can't drag, i doubt i'm using netbook this is my desktop
[18:41] <vigge_sWe> could you send the upgrade links again, fixed grub now?
[18:41] <trans> now I restarted my sys, it showed no grub
[18:41] <ironfroggy_> trans: so you removed grub, not your partition table. what boots at the MBR right now?
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: you need to unlock the other items so it can move
[18:42] <sivakumar> goltoof, sorry ...i have seen that you want your gnome panel back is it right or wrong
[18:42] <LanceP> hey there, quick question, i have an ar5b93 wifi card and it doesnt work with ubuntu because a package is missing. last time i was here someone suggested the package but i cant remember it now. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[18:42] <goltoof> sivakumar,    yes, i would like my gnome-panel back :)
[18:42] <trans> I have logged in through live cd ironfroggy_
[18:42] <LanceP> oh and also as far as i remember i think the package had something to do with backend util or something like that but i could be totally wrong
[18:42] <ikhider> I have a video cam that appears to have a webcam option--but my Linux system fails to recognise it
[18:42] <ikhider> thus, what is a good linux friendly webcam to buy?
[18:43] <goltoof> ActionParsnip,   nothing else is locked... i'm still wondering why it moved in the first place
[18:43] <nothingspecial> vigge_sWe: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade
[18:43] <sivakumar> goltoof, then open terminal and type this command.....gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[18:43] <vigge_sWe> thanks
[18:43] <goltoof> sivakumar,    will this reset my icons?
[18:43] <Wicla_> dli: Found a solution to the problem. Using DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive before apt-get. :P
[18:43] <usuario__> gallo
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: notsure dude
[18:44] <karthick87> What is OpenPGP key?
[18:44] <vigge_sWe> update manager doesn't tell me there is a new release
[18:44] <sivakumar> goltoof, add a new panel to u r window by right click at the top
[18:44] <vigge_sWe> it says I am up to date
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: i'd go with sivakumar's command and reset the panels to default
[18:45] <starlays> karthick87:  http://www.google.ro/#hl=ro&source=hp&biw=1680&bih=857&q=OpenPGP&btnG=C%C4%83utare+Google&aq=f&aqi=g7&aql=&oq=OpenPGP&gs_rfai=&fp=d26476ce4c0c5e5c

[18:45] <AuroraX> Why do I have to tape the "^" key twice to have a ^? I mean, when i want to write "^^" i need to tap "^" 4 times. How can i change that? I tried dead keys, but that way i cant write "~" or other special chars...
[18:45] <ironfroggy_> trans: oh. that sux :-(
[18:45] <AuroraX> (Correction sorry): Why do I have to tap the "^" key twice to have a ^? I mean, when i want to write "^^" i need to tap "^" 4 times. How can i change that? I tried dead keys, but that way i cant write "~" or other special chars...
[18:46] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, is there any thing wrong what i had told to him
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> vigge_sWe: wait, i gave you the link with the how to, it says to edit the file. did you not edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades  ??
[18:46] <vigge_sWe> ZykoticK9: well that link says I can upgrade directly from 10.04 LTS to 10.10 from the update manager?
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: no i was agreeing. start from a clean slate
[18:46] <vigge_sWe> ActionParsnip: it didn't tell me that
[18:46] <goltoof> sivakumar,    that did it!   thank you
[18:46] <trans> ironfroggy_ I feel like now I'm in the middle of nowhere,

[18:46] <wikidjeff> Is there a way to have a non-root java application listen on a port below 1024? I am trying to make a simple web server.
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> vigge_sWe: search for the filename
[18:47] <trans> ironfroggy_ thats why I said no partition table
[18:47] <sivakumar> u r welcome
[18:47] <wikidjeff> Would setcap work for this?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> vigge_sWe: i copied it from the page myself so I KNOW it's there
[18:47] <jrib> wikidjeff: use a port higher than 1024 then
[18:47] <wikidjeff> jrib: this is for an assignment which specifically calls for port 80
[18:48] <ikhider> What do i install to get a computer to recognize a webcam?
[18:48] <jrib> wikidjeff: unprivileged user can't do that afaik
[18:48] <ZykoticK9> ikhider, start by testing if your webcam works in cheese
[18:49] <sivakumar> what do i install to get a computer to fingerprint reconigation
[18:49] <AuroraX> (Correction sorry): Why do I have to tap the "^" key twice to have a ^? I mean, when i want to write "^^" i need to tap "^" 4 times. How can i change that? I tried dead keys, but that way i cant write "~" or other special chars....
[18:49] <sivakumar> ikhider, install cheese
[18:49] <beinghuman> how do I access the onscreen keyboard
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> ikhider: you can test by installing cheese and seeing if you can see yourself
[18:49] <beinghuman> I can't access it on the login screen
[18:49] <beinghuman> this is live CD
[18:49] <ikhider> ZykoticK9, So far it does not work with cheese as the program keeps crashing
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> beinghuman: launch:  onboard
[18:49] <bader> Hi there am new user in ubuntu and i just download the latest version , the problem is am try to click on any file right click but dosent show menu list, any one can help
[18:49] <beinghuman> ActionParsnip: that's a great thought
[18:49] <vigge_sWe> ActionParsnip: not what it says there, from the first link you sent: http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t179/viggesWe/Screenshot-6.png ;)
[18:50] <beinghuman> how the fuck am I supposed to do that
[18:50] <beinghuman> without a keyboard
[18:50] <FloodBot4> beinghuman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:50] <goltoof> anyone here use a ps3 eye for a camera?  :)
[18:50] <ZykoticK9> ikhider, sorry - the cheese suggestion is all i've got for suggestions with webcam.  best of luck.
[18:50] <ikhider> Maybe I have to buy another webcam?
[18:50] <wikidjeff> jrib: ok, I guess I'll just try using a higher port and then switching it to 80 when I submit the assignment
[18:50] <seeker7> a client has just been given a eee pc900a with a gnu linux os it looks like kde and we can not find root terminal to uninstall various programs where is it
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> thats not the link ubottu gave
[18:51] <jrib> wikidjeff: yes, that's a good idea
[18:51] <ZykoticK9> ikhider, see if your webcam is listed here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras

[18:51] <thevishy> while trying to load Chromium browser  i am getting error attempting to load libmoon segmentation fault
[18:51] <beinghuman> is onboard in /usr/bin?
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> seeker7: boot to root recovery mode and run:   cd /home   you can the run: ls  to see the users and run:  passwd foo    replace foo with the username you see
[18:52] <ZykoticK9> thevishy, isn't libmoon part of silverlight?  i'm not sure...
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> seeker7: what is the output of:  lsb_release -c   ?
[18:52] <beinghuman> found it
[18:52] <commodoor> ok nobody knows about "wpa_supplicant[1263]: Association request to the driver failed"
[18:52] <thevishy> No it comes with chromium loading
[18:53] <seeker7> when we turn on it auto goes to desktop
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> commodoor: apparently not or they would have replied
[18:53] <cime> hi! is there anything new about fglrx driver in 10.10? is it working or still not?
[18:53] <madpinger> Anyone have an ideal how to deal with this ?  http://pastebin.com/unSqHwpy
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> seeker7: ok run: lsb_release -c   what is output?
[18:54] <seeker7> ActionParsnip: sorry computer is not availabel at this moment
[18:54] <thevishy> ZykoticK9, sees like it is and that chrome doesnt seem to support it wel enought or something there si some bug registeree with th issyue
[18:54] <sivakumar> anyone know about how to set drapes to run on start up
[18:54] <beinghuman> okay so in the live CD I'm trying to put fix the grub MBR
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> seeker7: well when it becomes available, you need to run it. We need the output
[18:54] <ZykoticK9> thevishy, i had the same segfault with 10.04LTS and Firefox (a while ago), i resolved by removing silverlight "sudo apt-get remove moonlight-plugin-mozilla" you can see my page on http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/quick-fixes
[18:54] <beinghuman> and when I do sudo grub
[18:54] <beinghuman> it says it's not there
[18:54] <slipp3d> ZykoticK9, yes libmoon is part of moonlight
[18:54] <thevishy> thanks ZykoticK9 so i cant use silverlight is it ?
[18:54] <ZykoticK9> slipp3d, sorry, yes "moonlight"
[18:55] <goltoof> sivakumar,   system > prefs > startup apps ... add drapes
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> beinghuman: http://odzangba.wordpress.com/2007/03/10/how-to-restore-grub-using-the-ubuntu-live-cd/   there are literally thousands of guides for this online
[18:55] <ZykoticK9> thevishy, ? i played with it 6+ months ago, not sure what current support/functionality is...
[18:55] <beinghuman> thanks
[18:55] <sivakumar> goltoof, i had done this but is still not working
[18:55] <thevishy> now chrome comes fine when I uninstall that , so Icant use silverlight ?
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> I can only think of a few sites that use silverlight/moonlight.
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> thevishy: maybe there is a bug between the two? did you check
[18:56] <ZykoticK9> thevishy, is it chrome or chromium - not that it makes a difference, i'm just curious.
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> thevishy:  what site were you trying to use?
[18:56] <seeker7> ActionParsnip: at boot it give screen with normal boot or restore to defaults boot the minilaptop has no cd drive on it
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> seeker7: you dont need a CD, nor did I ever mention one
[18:56] <beinghuman> ActionParsnip: i dude
[18:57] <beinghuman> I just said sudo grub
[18:57] <beinghuman> says grub doesn't exist
[18:57] <goltoof> sivakumar,   can't even open drapes, sorry
[18:57] <ZykoticK9> thevishy, actually, are you also running 64bit?  i was, again just curious.
[18:57] <beinghuman> and you sent me a link where the first command is sudo grub
[18:57] <ikhider> ZykoticK9, So basically if I get another brand it should work out of the box
[18:57] <trans> ironfroggy_ I tried to reinstall grub at /dev/sd7, I got error msg "probing devices to guess Bios, /dev/sda8 not found"
[18:57] <sivakumar> i have problem on wine un-installer even after removing any windows software it is not removing from the wine application .......is there any sollutiion
[18:57] <beinghuman> also with a condescending clause in it
[18:57] <beinghuman> nice job
[18:57] <ubuntu> greetings
[18:57] <FloodBot4> beinghuman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> beinghuman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6fpIe-QnVE
[18:57] <ikhider> As listed in the wiki
[18:57] <trans> any idea?
[18:57] <ubuntu> why would bash say a program doesnt exist even though it does?
[18:57] <ZykoticK9> ikhider, i don't know.  was your webcam not listed?
[18:57] <ubuntu> ls file, shows file ./file  file doesnt exist
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> sivakumar:  you mean from the wine MENU?
[18:57] <goltoof> ubuntu, shouldn't you already know this?  ;)
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> beinghuman: no, there are TONNE of guides as well as videos, if you try websearching a little first you wil learn more about the OS
[18:57] <slipp3d> anyone know why my bluetooth would have an issue with connecting my headset?
[18:57] <ubuntu> never encountered this before
[18:57] <ikhider> ZykoticK9, It is a video cam with a webcam option. The wiki lists webcams exclusively
[18:57] <ZykoticK9> ubuntu, are you running 64bit?
[18:57] <sivakumar> Dr_Willis, yes
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: is it in $PATH?
[18:58] <ubuntu> let me check proc/cpu
[18:58] <ubuntu> Xeon system
[18:58] <thevishy> I installed silverlight pluggin when I was using FF , now thought of trying Chromium=browser ( NOT Chrome ) and it says libmoon trying to load but segmentation fault and browser terminates ....so removed the plugin for silverlight ... hence is it possible to use silverlight now ?
[18:58] <goltoof> slipp3d,   is bluetooth enabled?
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> sivakumar:  those are in one of your users home dirs hidden directories. You can delete the proper .desktop files. or try using alcarte to edit the menus and remove them
[18:58] <slipp3d> goltoof, yes bluetooth is enabled
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> thevishy: i'd see if there is a known issue
[18:58] <thevishy> 32 bit and its an old compueter
[18:58] <ubuntu> not in $PATH but I'm manually specifying  cd /home/me/path; ./program
[18:58] <thevishy> ActionParsnip, there is a bug registered
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: ok is the file marked as executable?
[18:59] <ubuntu> yup
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> thevishy: then its a known issue, watch the bug to see if it gets resolved
[18:59] <ubuntu> chmod +x file
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: and does your user have execute access?
[18:59] <thevishy> Right thanks
[18:59] <ubuntu> it's root
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu:    you do have the Case Correct?
[19:00] <ubuntu> yup using tab to autofill
[19:00] <ubuntu> ./c (tab) auto fill
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: can you give the output of the command please
[19:00] <ubuntu> have a site you prefer?
[19:00] <ikhider> I just don't want to buy something else and find out that it does not work either
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> !paste | ubuntu
[19:00] <ubuntu> one sec
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: any pastebin will do
[19:01] <sivakumar> Dr_Willis, is there any command relating to this
[19:01] <ikhider> So I will get one of the wiki items and hope it works. It would have been nice if my videocam with the webcam option worked
[19:01] <r1k0> how come when I do apt-cache search sources I get a bunch of results that don't match 'sources'?
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> sivakumar:  use  the alcarte program. or explore yoru users home dir and find the wine related .desktop files and remove them.
[19:01] <ubuntu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/524602/
[19:02] <ubuntu> I'm testing out a Amazone EC2 machine btw :)
[19:02] <ubuntu> running irssi from it now actually
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: look in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged  too
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> sivakumar:  they seem to be in .local/share/applications also..
[19:03] <slipp3d> does anyone know where I can go to reset all of the bluetooth options
[19:03] <slipp3d> I'm thinking that I have a broken config or package
[19:03] <goltoof> ikhider,    good list here  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> slipp3d:  options the user set woule bein their home dir somewhere.. system wide would be in /etc/ somewhere.
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: why are you messing with user commands as root, can you give the output of:   groups fics     it will be ok to paste here as it's one line
[19:04] <ubuntu> not user fics
[19:04] <ubuntu> I jsut created that directory in /home
[19:04] <ubuntu> could go anywhere, I prob shove in /opt
[19:05] <goltoof> slipp3d,   search and remove everything bluetooth in synaptic, then you can reinstall
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: can you give the output of:  file; /home/fics/chessd/bin/chessd; uname -a   thanks
[19:07] <glaucous> Do anyone know what nolapic_timer does in practice? Using this is the only way to make my boot not semi-hang multiple times (fixed by pushing power button). But it also seems to make some applications weird, such as qjoypad (emulates mouse/keys), gets unsmooth mouse.

[19:08] <ubuntu> the program was built on a 32bit system could that be the problem?

[19:22] <Nerd_Herd_Chuck> depending on if it win or nix
[19:22] <MaverickMaverick> Do I need to set up a route? I actually want to use internet connection sharing, setting lan to "shared with other computers" breaks the connection

[19:29] <Pemeq> Hi everyone. I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10. And updated the nvidia recommend driver update. Now, after rebooting, all I get is 10.10 with a ubuntu loading bar, and after that, my screen goes black. And the computer stops working, you can hear that clearly.
[19:29] <Nocturnal_> umm its a realtek HD audio card.
[19:29] <Nocturnal_> I can't remember exactly which model
[19:30] <beinghuman> fdisk -l doesn't return anything

[19:30] <cyberbob> ??
[19:30] <joeyeye> preller, does your PC have 2 CD drives on same IDE channel ?
[19:30] <martijn_> Hi all iḿ just a newbie and started to learn as much as possible
[19:30] <beinghuman> cyberbob: live CD isn't detecting my drives. fisk -l doesn't return anything
[19:30] <beinghuman> i'm trying to fix grub from live CD
[19:30] <preller> joeyeye: it doesn't have a cd drive normally. just 2 usb ports
[19:31] <martijn_> did u setup your cd drive in bios?
[19:31] <joeyeye> preller, ok, and do you have 1 or 2 USB devices connected while booting/installing ?
[19:31] <martijn_> you can boot it from there i belive
[19:31] <Pemeq> Hi everyone. I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10. And updated the nvidia recommend driver update. Now, after rebooting, all I get is 10.10 with a ubuntu loading bar, and after that, my screen goes black. And the computer stops working, you can hear that clearly.
[19:32] <preller> martijn_: it boots ( isee the splashscreen) but fails right after the splash screen.
[19:32] <preller> joeyeye: just one
[19:32] <joeyeye> preller, are you using 32bit or 64bit live image ?
[19:32] <preller> i get similiar errors with archbang, ubuntu netbook edition. arch linux didnt fail.
[19:33] <preller> joeyeye: 32bit
[19:33] <adi_> hy,i wanna install ubuntu 10.10,but i don't konw if it work with RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]
[19:33] <Pemeq> Anyone wants to help me with Ubuntu not booting after installing a nvidia driver update?
[19:33] <martijn_> i guess you have a netbook?
[19:33] <Nerd_Herd_Chuck> MaverickMaverick, do a netstat -nr
[19:33] <adi_> anyone?
[19:33] <joeyeye> preller, what options did you choose when you made the USB image ? (wirteable/saveable config) ?
[19:34] <preller> joeyeye: i tried it with dd at first. after that i tried this usb image creator that comes with ubuntu on another machine.
[19:35] <preller> martijn_: did you mean me? yes, it's a netbook (sony vaio x)
[19:35] <joeyeye> preller, there are known issues with 10.10 and booting installing with CD and USB - you may be a victim of such bug...
[19:35] <adi_> now i run 9.04
[19:36] <preller> joeyeye: ok, i'll try 10.04 then and update to 10.10 if it works
[19:36] <ZykoticK9> preller, during Maverick development, not sure it still applies, if you created the bootable Maverick USB with USB Creator in Lucid there was some problem with it being non-bootable.  some sort of initrd mismatch or something?  sorry i'm not super clear on the details.  best of luck man.
[19:36] <ubuntu__> Pemeq, hi.
[19:36] <Pemeq> Hi Ubuntu__
[19:37] <ubuntu__> Pemeq, an update of the nVidia driver, or a fresh install of it?
[19:37] <Pemeq> No, an update of the driver.
[19:37] <ubuntu__> Pemeq, so the previous one functioned fine? :)
[19:37] <joeyeye> preller, I remember having issues, and ended up re-creating the USB image several times, eventually I was successful with 10.10
[19:37] <Pemeq> Well, yes. But I haven't updated my drivers yet.
[19:37] <grimgrim> Hi I have a ubuntu 10 install and Im trying to get into single user mode during boot - however I never see the grub prompt (not even a flash) just a ubuntu loading screen
[19:37] <grimgrim> I've tried to alt+f<n> over as well
[19:37] <ubuntu__> Then you're not having the same problem as me, luckily.
[19:37] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, are you talking about an update from Ubuntu - or you downloaded/install an nvidia driver?
[19:38] <Pici> grimgrim: Hold down your shift key while booting to see the grub2 menu.
[19:38] <grimgrim> thank you
[19:38] <Pemeq> No, an update from Ubuntu itself.
[19:38] <Pemeq> The Additonal Drivers program.
[19:38] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, so it was a new install of an nvidia driver - not really an "update"...
[19:39] <Pemeq> I have no idea to be honest.

[19:40] <adi_> haw can i change boot sequence in grub on 9.04 ubuntu?
[19:40] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, one option (assuming you currently have an xorg.conf) would be to try "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" to move/backup your xorg.conf - then try restarting
[19:40] <Pemeq> Where can I find xorg.conf?
[19:41] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, /etc/X11
[19:41] <StaRetji1> I've installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run and driver seems to work just fine, but GLX doesn't. Anyone can help out?
[19:41] <nasser> If some one see this message can he/she say hi to me, so I know I am connected.  I am new here
[19:41] <subay^^> any suggestions?

[19:43] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: Hi and thx for reply. I've installed over ssh, sudo sh ./NVIDIA...
[19:43] <Dusty> http://www.steelw.com/files/UbuntuScreenshot.png
[19:43] <Dusty> guys, my screen looks like that
[19:43] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: I did servise gdm stop
[19:43] <Dusty> after I enable Compiz
[19:43] <nasser> No time to talk today, I will talk to you later, bye
[19:43] <yahyai-0> any one know how to make like (ubuntu-text-logo or kubuntu-text-logo .......)???
[19:44] <BluesKaj>  StaRetji1 , ok which driver on which nvidia card?
[19:44] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: nvidia ion, zotac zboc gt218
[19:44] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: driver nvidia is xorg.conf
[19:45] <Dusty> Hey guys. When I enable graphics acceleration, my desktop looks like this: http://www.steelw.com/files/UbuntuScreenshot.png
[19:45] <BluesKaj> StaRetji1, which nvidia.run driver ?
[19:46] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run
[19:46] <Pemeq> Theres no such file as xorg.conf in my X11 folder.
[19:46] <blakkheim> !repeat | Dusty
[19:46] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to create an nvidia xorg.conf
[19:46] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: glxgears returns Segmentation fault
[19:46] <Pemeq> Ok, let me try that ZykoticK9.
[19:47] <Pemeq> It says command not found?
[19:47] <BluesKaj> StaRetji1, did you run sudo nvidia-xconfig ?
[19:47] <Kartagis> how can I enable compiz for my SiS graphics card? glxinfo | grep render says yes but I can't enable desktop effects
[19:47] <blakkheim> Kartagis: you can't
[19:47] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, then you haven't install the nvidia driver yet?!
[19:47] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: no, I didn't. Here is my xorg.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/524631/
[19:47] <blakkheim> Kartagis: well, let's just say SiS doesn't provide very good linux support
[19:48] <Pemeq> Okay, so I must first install the driver from Additional Drivers?
[19:48] <skooternb> in ubuntu where is the equivalent of the "device manager"
[19:48] <Kartagis> *sigh*
[19:48] <Kartagis> thanks blakkheim
[19:48] <blakkheim> skooternb: lshw
[19:48] <skooternb> blakkeim: thx!
[19:49] <bader> hello guys, how i make ubuntu new version like the old version i mean by the main menu list and enable right click mouse in desktop panle
[19:49] <Pemeq> ZykoticK9, do I pick version 173 or version current?
[19:49] <BluesKaj> StaRetji1, then run  sudo nvidia-xconfig in the terminal , you need to reconfigure xorg.conf
[19:49] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, depends on your card really.
[19:49] <bader> any one?
[19:50] <Pemeq> ZykoticK9, okay. Well, I already tried installing either the two, and when rebooting, Ubuntu didn't start up anymore.
[19:50] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: did that, nothing changes
[19:50] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, "lspci | grep -i vga"
[19:51] <Pemeq> ZykoticK9, after installing a driver that is I assume?
[19:51] <jwatt> does usb-creator.exe actually work?
[19:51] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, no, now - it lists your exact gfx card
[19:52] <Xeross> Hey, my notification area and related items tend to move around a lot and sometimes not load some icons, is there any way to prevent this
[19:52] <Pemeq> Okay. It is a GeForce 8400 GS.
[19:52] <jwatt> if I try to run usb-creator.exe with ubuntu-10.10-dvd-i386.iso it just gets stuck at 22% and will go no further
[19:52] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: it seems that glxgears crashes, also xbmc (media center) crashes
[19:53] <Raydiation> hm i just installed a 1gb ddr ram and it shows me only 741mb available mem
[19:53] <tortoise_> Can someone tell me what exactly is the point of having your own dns server?
[19:53] <jwatt> if I try to run usb-creator.exe with ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso then it seems to work, but when I try to boot from it, it just gets stuck at the very first line of output on the screen "SYSLINUX 3.82..."
[19:54] <sebikul> !repeat | jwatt
[19:55] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, bad news - see the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/660596 you should look through it and see if any of the comments help (i didn't read them all!)
[19:55] <Pemeq> ZykoticK9, Alright. I hope it is not too bad.
[19:56] <epictetus> whoa, big channel.   I have a laptop with nvidia restricted video drivers, won't successfully wake up from sleep mode with the restricted drivers installed.  I got it to wake up once, not sure how (some combination of hitting power over and over, maybe hitting the CRT/LCD switch a few times, holding down power a bit, etc).  Tried disabling compiz.  Anyone know of an easy way to get this working with the restricted drivers?
[19:56] <jwatt> and I can't install from DVD, since I'm hitting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/636711
[19:56] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, near the someone suggests removing proprietary and using nouveau...
[19:57] <jwatt> sebikul: I'm not sure what "repeat your question quickly" means - should I just repeat what I said over and over in a tight loop?
[19:57] <Pemeq> ZykoticK9, And what would that all be if I may ask?
[19:57] <jwatt> that will surely get quite tiresome for a lot of people here
[19:57] <BluesKaj> StaRetji1, did you run nvidia-xconfig ?
[19:57] <grimgrim> How can I keep a process running that I created via ssh/putty running after I exit the putty window?
[19:58] <aeon-ltd> grimgrim: wouldn't 'nameofapp &' work?
[19:58] <dajhorn> grimgrim: `screen` or `nohup`
[19:58] <epictetus> hah sounds like nvidia bugs are popular today
[19:59] <grimgrim> Yes what about an already running process dajhorn?
[19:59] <epictetus> anyone have an idea about mine?
[19:59] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: yes, I did it, it created new xorg.conf Driver seems to be installed properly, but glxgear crashes Segmentation Fault
[19:59] <dajhorn> grimgrim:   You can't.  You need to wrap the persistent process at start time.
[19:59] <ZykoticK9> Pemeq, not really sure... i've never had to undo the proprietary -- not having the Proprietary driver would be a HUGE issue for me - i'm not sure why your 8400 is so special, my 8800 has always run as expected.  sorry for your hardware compatibility issue (personally amazed it's nvidia).  best of luck man!
[20:00] <BluesKaj> StaRetji1, hang on , let me check something
[20:00] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: If I trid apt-get install nvidia-current, my gpu wont work at all. So, I'm confused, I thought Zotax Zbox with ion card will work out of the box
[20:00] <Pemeq> ZykoticK9, Thank you for your help. I'll try to ask around some more.
[20:00] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: Here is xorg.log just in case http://paste.ubuntu.com/524631/
[20:01] <dajhorn> StaRetji1: Maverick is bundled with a flakey beta nvidia driver.  Get the stable release from:  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[20:02] <StaRetji1> dajhorn: Should I uninstall NVIDIA.run I've installed manually?
[20:02] <StaRetji1> dajhorn: I mean, it didn't work for me on Lucid also
[20:02] <tortoise_> Where can I get named?
[20:03] <dajhorn> StaRetji1: Hmm, your pastebin actually looks okay, and you have the stable 260 driver installed.
[20:03] <st_iron> Torianna: aptitude search named?
[20:03] <hamdi> selam
[20:03] <StaRetji1> dajhorn: Yes, that is confusing. And if I install via ppa, it wont load driver at all
[20:03] <st_iron> hamdi: hozsanna
[20:03] <tortoise_> I have no man page for named, so I'm assuming I dont' have named
[20:03] <tortoise_> Can anyone help me?
[20:04] <aussa> hi
[20:04] <st_iron> tortoise_: dpkg -l |grep named
[20:04] <Dread> can anyone recommend a simple CLI based ftp server for ubuntu? preferably one where i can just setup users in a config file and jail them to a directory
[20:04] <aussa> what exact file do I have to install to extract .rar files?
[20:04] <Pici> tortoise_: Install bind9 then.
[20:05] <StaRetji1> BluesKaj: even glxinfo crashes
[20:05] <st_iron> Dread: pureftpd?
[20:05] <tensorpudding> aussa: unrar
[20:05] <aussa> ok ty
[20:05] <Steve[cug]> afternnon everyone.....I seem to be having an issue and woudl like to request some help.  I just performed an apt-get dist-upgrade on a server to upgrade the kernel so that I can reboot it.  The server crashed midway through the upgrade and I was forced to perform a hard-reboot.  after the reboot I was unable to boot the server (it looked like the kernel would start up but nothing else).
[20:05] <dajhorn> StaRetji1: You may have clobbered your GL libraries by installing from the upstream .run file.   If you have time, then uninstall and try again from the Ubuntu repository.
[20:05] <Steve[cug]> as a result I booted from the CD and ran in recovery mode to finish installation of the packages in question.  After that the kernel looked like it was successfully upgraded to current and all of the other packages as well, however once i reboot I have the same issue as before.
[20:06] <Steve[cug]> here is a pastebin of the packages that I upgraded: http://pastebin.com/Ya9BVW5r
[20:06] <Steve[cug]> I am unfortunately at a complete loss
[20:06] <aussa> the nonfree version? or unrar-free?
[20:06] <blocky> is anyone aware of way I can feed 100 or so queries into wikipedia and retrieve the first paragraph (or entire article) for each one?
[20:07] <StaRetji1> dajhorn: ofc, I will what ever is necessary. But for some reason, if I uninstal NVIDIA and install from Ubuntu repo, it wont work, DKMS will fail
[20:07] <aussa> tensorpudding: the nonfree version? or unrar-free?
[20:07] <StaRetji1> dajhorn: glxgears[3401]: segfault at fffffff8 ip b6a327a5 sp bfff5ba0 error 4 in libnvidia-glcore.so.260.19.12[b5bf6000+1644000]
[20:08] <dajhorn> StaRetji1: That is probably the problem.  Library mismatch.
[20:08] <tensorpudding> aussa: unrar-free is the free version, you can use it for extracting rar
[20:08] <dajhorn> StaRetji1: Reboot after the uninstall so that DKMS isn't surprised by an unexpected nvidia.ko module.
[20:09] <epictetus> can I ask my question again? i was running into the nvidia-restricted-driver can't-resume-from-suspend issue, i am finding tons and tons about this online but it's a matter of finding too many answers (many of them old)
[20:09] <aussa> tensorpudding: "We are sorry, Akr closed unexpectedly" :S, now what? hahahahaa
[20:09] <dajhorn> Steve[cug]: At power on,  hold the right shift key to get the grub menu (or push <esc> if prompted) and boot the system into an older kernel.   If that works, then reinstall the new kernel.  You probably have a busted initrd.
[20:09] <StaRetji1> dajhorn: Sorry for being dumb, but how do I uninstall now?
[20:10] <dajhorn> StaRetji1: The .run file that you used should have an --uninstall switch.
[20:11] <BluesKaj> StaRetji1, I had trouble with the latest nvidia driver on my 8400gs , but it runs well on the 260.19.06  nvidia-current , make sure you uninstalled the 260.19.12.

[20:13] <pookey> oh, sorry - ignore htat, I think i've found it
[20:16] <abstrakt> is there a decent CLI utilit or option to revert a patch that was applied with patch -p0 < somefile.patch
[20:16] <dean_> hi does anyone know how to get faster speeds on ktorrent mine is well slow?
[20:16] <blakkheim> dean_: the speed is irrelevant to the OS and client
[20:17] <deryl> can someone tell me how Ii can rebuild my mime types? I'm getting LOTS of errors about not being able to find things like inode-* x-* mime-types
[20:17] <dean_> sorry blakkheim I didnt realise it is my first day using ubuntu and was using windows previously
[20:17] <deryl> i think adding the mime-type support for gedit to act like textmate screwed things up
[20:18] <VirusTB> what happened to the #ubuntu IRC?  i got s spambot??
[20:18] <blakkheim> dean_: no problem, you might want to do a bit of reading on the bittorrent protocol if you want more info.
[20:18] <xangua> dean_: the speed of a torrent depend of the seeds of the file(s) you are downloading
[20:18] <EvilPhoenix> question, Ubuntu keeps resetting my BIOS clock to UTC time, and it interferes with Windows 7's clock when i need to use it.  Any way to fix it so it doesnt set the BIOS clock to UTC time?
[20:19] <dean_> well xangua I have 10 seeds and 1 leecher and I am only getting 31kib/s
[20:19] <aussa> the unrar-free packege isn't working for me, any alternative?
[20:19] <deryl> that and when I run update-mime-database /usr/share/mime I get errors like Unknown media type in type 'uri/mms'
[20:19] <deryl> so not sure if I'm on the wrong track ot something
[20:19] <deryl> err or
[20:19] <blakkheim> aussa: unrar, 7z
[20:19] <dean_> 7zip is ok aussa
[20:20] <protoss_111> hey can someone help me with wireless issues?
[20:20] <aeon-ltd> !ask | protoss_111
[20:20] <aussa> 7zip, p7zip or p7zip-rar ?
[20:20] <dli> EvilPhoenix, edit /etc/default/rcS, set UTC=no
[20:21] <blakkheim> p7zip-full
[20:21] <dean_> 7zip i got aussa
[20:21] <L_> 7zip
[20:21] <protoss_111> i cant load iwlagn driver
[20:22] <EvilPhoenix> dli: thanks
[20:22] <evelyette> hi
[20:22] <evelyette> why do I get this error:
[20:22] <evelyette> http://dpaste.com/269353/
[20:22] <Grievre> Hi all
[20:22] <aussa> do I have to reboot or something, isn't working yet?
[20:23] <Grievre> so... ubuntu's install of slapd now uses the cn=config method of configuration by default
[20:23] <dean_> what are you trying to do aussa ?
[20:23] <Grievre> but there is no documentation about how to get this working
[20:23] <aussa> extract .rar files
[20:23] <Grievre> both openldap's own documentation and help.ubuntu.com are outdated
[20:23] <Grievre> should I submit a bug report about this?
[20:23] <protoss_111> when i do "sudo modprobe iwlagn" it gives me a fatal error message and i cant load it
[20:23] <protoss_111> what do i do now
[20:23] <dean_> Have you right clicked on the file?
[20:23] <EvilPhoenix> protoss_111:  what error exactly?
[20:24] <protoss_111> EvilPhoenix: unknown symbol in module
[20:24] <L_> how can i re-title the grub manu??
[20:24] <L_> or edit
[20:24] <aussa> should I use Open with... to open it using 7zip?
[20:24] <EvilPhoenix> protoss_111:  hmm... interesting... which version of ubuntu is this?
[20:24] <L_> in kubuntu 10.10
[20:24] <Grievre> I'm sure no one here knows the first thing about ldap though :(
[20:24] <Starn> hello, i know this is an unusal question but is there any thing better than Lynx for windows? i dislike how it can not full screen. i was impressed to even find windows version.
[20:25] <StaRetji1> dajhorn: Dude, if I install via ppa, dkms will not work (tried it before) Could it be due to running latest rc1 kernel?
[20:25] <Grievre> it is a fine art
[20:25] <blakkheim> aussa: 7z x /the/file.rar
[20:25] <dean_> Yes aussa or try double clicking on the file
[20:25] <blakkheim> Starn: try ##windows
[20:25] <Starn> ?
[20:25] <blakkheim> Starn: we don't do windows support here
[20:25] <protoss_111> EvilPhoenix: 10.04, but i got the latest compat-wireless drivers and compiled them
[20:25] <Grievre> anyone? anyone?
[20:25] <Starn> but this is an linux app as well so figured someone may know altritive
[20:26] <blakkheim> Starn: doesn't matter
[20:26] <llutz>  Starn its an open source app, not linux app
[20:26] <Grievre> nobody knows? :(
[20:26] <jhambo> I'm trying to run a program using this command `./tcltk84+ expgui` and I get "./tcltk84+: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".  How can I get this library??
[20:26] <aeon-ltd> Starn: when applications are ported, it doesn't always work the same
[20:26] <blakkheim> !patience | Grievre
[20:27] <ddn> hi, I have lost my file and printing sharing since the last big ubuntu updating, is it a known problem?
[20:27] <Kriss-|-> why is that after so many years, the problem with linux is still the same problem ? do all developers imagine someone is working on it ?
[20:27] <jhambo> Or in other words, how do I get libstdc++.so.5 onto my system?
[20:27] <Grievre> blakkheim: I've already looked there, it's outdated
[20:28] <Grievre> Kriss-|-: and that problem is...?
[20:28] <llutz> jhambo: install libstdc++5
[20:28] <dli> jhambo, apt-file search libstdc++.so.5 , ia32-libs libstdc++5
[20:28] <blakkheim> Grievre: the point was repeating "please" "anybody help??" etc isn't going to make anyone help faster
[20:29] <Grievre> blakkheim: I understand. I am on the clock right now, though, so perhaps my impatience could be forgiven :)
[20:30] <jhambo> llutz: how do I install  libstdc++5?
[20:30] <xerox1> i am using the bash program "at": now i would like to pass a date and time as arguments; how is the calling syntax? didnt find an example for date and time; "at 11210 23:30" for ex. didn't work
[20:30] <aussa> blakkheim: is there a way of extacting without using the terminal?
[20:30] <Grievre> xerox1: man at?
[20:30] <meway> hello I asked this question before but I forgot the answer. I have a folder full of files with the extension .conf.example I want to know how to remove the .example part of the extension (note the file just the extension) of every file at once. Can anyone help me?
[20:30] <llutz> jhambo: sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
[20:30] <Grievre> meway: man rename
[20:31] <Grievre> meway: might have to install it first
[20:31] <meway> note*
[20:31] <blakkheim> aussa: probably, but why? terminal is much faster and simpler
[20:31] <protoss_111> i think ill just reinstall linux-backports-compat-wireless
[20:31] <jhambo> llutz: that package doesn't exist
[20:31] <meway> Grievre, I don't think that is quite what I am looking for
[20:31] <blakkheim> meway: try "gprename" for that
[20:31] <Grievre> meway: it isn't?
[20:32] <david506> Can I run a mount command and specify a non existant directory that will exist until unmounted ?
[20:32] <meway> Grievre, how do I make it rename every file at once just taking off .example extension
[20:32] <Grievre> meway: rename 's/.example//' *.example?
[20:32] <llutz> !find libstdc++.so.5
[20:32] <meway> from that folder?
[20:32] <Grievre> without the ?
[20:32] <Grievre> well with that directory as your cd that is
[20:32] <meway> ok that should work :)
[20:32] <meway> Grievre, thanks
[20:32] <aussa> blakkheim: mmm.... i don't think the same, but thanks, now, I got this at the end of the extract, "Sub items Errors: 3202, what is that?
[20:33] <dli> xerox1, at -f ~/at.sh 23:30 2010-11-21
[20:33] <blakkheim> aussa: it's.. a lot of errors
[20:34] <Sir_Konrad> Any MacTel Team members in here?
[20:34] <BluesKaj> protoss_111, are you sure if the command isn't iwlan
[20:34] <aussa> blakkheim: so, I should think that the extracted files are corrupted?
[20:34] <Kevich> åñòü ðóññêîãîâîðÿùèå?
[20:34] <lopeze> Hello. I recently made a clean install of 10.10 and now my windows keep on losing focus rendering me unable to click anything. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
[20:34] <xerox1> Grievre: i looked at the manpage...; dli: thx will try that
[20:34] <blakkheim> aussa: most likely. i'd try the regular version of unrar first, though
[20:35] <aussa> blakkheim: I used it, but it crashes when I try to extract
[20:35] <dli> xerox1, don't worry, the manual will make more sense after you know some working examples
[20:35] <davi> hello i need help
[20:36] <davi> how can i install java and flash on lubunto
[20:36] <xerox1> dli, works perfect; thanks
[20:36] <BluesKaj> davi , most ppl here need help , just ask your question
[20:37] <xangua> !java
[20:37] <xangua> davi: sudo apt-get install frlashplugin-installer
[20:38] <BluesKaj> davi, run sudo apt-get install flsahplugin-installer
[20:38] <davi> ok thanks and java
[20:38] <duffydack> lol
[20:38] <BluesKaj> hehe flashplugin-installer
[20:40] <BluesKaj> davi , also run sudo apt-get istall lubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:40] <lopeze> Has anyone installed Starcraft II with wine before? I'm trying to install from the disc and this how to tells me to follow these two commands to make the disc usable for installation. sudo umount /media/SC2*    followed by     sudo mount -t udf -o ro,unhide,uid=$(id -u) /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom. I changed the /dev/cdrom to /dev/sr0 however even after using the second command I couldnt find the disc for installation. ANy ideas?
[20:40] <BluesKaj> my KB suckls !
[20:40] <BluesKaj> davi , also run sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:41] <xangua> BluesKaj: that doesn't exists
[20:41] <BluesKaj> davi , also run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:41] <duffydack> wouldnt plain old ubuntu-restr.....work
[20:41] <xangua> only for ubuntu, xubuntu and kubuntu BluesKaj
[20:41] <duffydack> nothing really ubuntu dependant there I dont think.
[20:42] <BluesKaj> duffydack, it might ..i I don't use lubuntu ...merely assuming they have a deb pkg in the repos with that name
[20:43] <duffydack> dont use it either..  just assuming with whats in the package that it might** work
[20:43] <lourense> please help...I have ftp'ed a file from 8.04 to 10.04....the files look identical when using HEAD filename to view, but when I use HEAD filename | MORE some lines show up as blank..STAT and WC show identical results but FILE shows different results...
[20:43] <BluesKaj> duffydack, for kubuntu it's kubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:43] <BluesKaj> BBL ...stuff to do
[20:44] <duffydack> is it a different metapackage than the ubuntu version? or just named that for convenience.
[20:45] <Seafish> hi
[20:45] <guntbert> lourense: if I understand correctly you want to check if the files are identical - how about you run md5sum on them?
[20:46] <alkisg> lourense: try md5sum file
[20:46] <lourense> guntbert...will do thanks..
[20:46] <Maahes> Will the new ubuntu notification system wrap growl or libnotify notifications?
[20:50] <lourense> guntbert...I have done md5sum and the results are identical...
[20:50] <guntbert> lourense: then the files should really be identical...
[20:51] <lourense> guntbert..the only difference I can see is when I use FILE..on the one server it shows DATA and one the other it shows PostgreSQL custom database dump - v1.10-0...
[20:51] <MohammadAG> Sigh, BCM4353 (broadcom) has such shitty drivers on linux
[20:51] <lourense> guntbert...the file is a Postgres backup...
[20:52] <guntbert> lourense: by default md5sum checks in text mode, with -b you can tell it to check in binary mode (see man md5sum)
[20:52] <lourense> guntbert...thank you...will check that...
[20:53] <guntbert> lourense: that difference might be because of file having another database - you could check that by sending the file back to the old server (different place) and running md5sum and file again
[20:53] <Kriss-|-> gotta hate sites like www.directhit.com
[20:54] <davi> Sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer      sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras those are to java and fash or just flash?
[20:55] <lourense> guntbert...it took 36 hours to send the file with my connection...it is 5.1 GB...what do you mean with differnt database?
[20:55] <xangua> !java | davi
[20:55] <Jordan_U> guntbert: On *NIX systems there is no difference between opening a file in "text" or "binary" mode. This applies to md5sum.
[20:55] <gNewPower> Hi,
[20:55] <gNewPower> I have a Venus USB2.0 webcam which used to work perfectly with Ubuntu 10.04.  Now, since the upgrade to 10.10 the Sound Preferences menu "sees" the webcam under "Hardware" but does not "see" it in the "Input" tab and I cannot select it.  Thus I now still have video, but no sound is recorded when I try to use the camera.  Can you help please?  Thanks!
[20:55] <nixbox> hi all
[20:56] <duffydack> davi,  both, ans some extra bits
[20:56] <duffydack> and*&
[20:56] <lourense> guntbert...md5sum with -b gave same answer...
[20:56] <guntbert> Jordan_U: thx for the reminder
[20:56] <xangua> you could try ubuntu-restricted-extras or xubuntu-restricted-extras but i don't know if that will install extra dependencies davi ; there is also #lubuntu if you want to ask there
[20:56] <Jordan_U> guntbert: You're welcome.
[20:56] <cousteau> I'm a bit bugged because hitting F2 on a file on nautilus selects the whole file name including the extension, it didn't before and that was cool
[20:56] <duffydack> xangua, according to my maverick install, apt-cache shows lubuntu-rest.... exists
[20:57] <Jordan_U> lourense: file uses a database to map that for instance a file beginning with "#!" as the first two bytes is a shell script. Some systems have a more extensive database than others.
[20:57] <xangua> duffydack: not using maverith, use the lubuntu-restricted-extras davi
[20:57] <duffydack> which is what I assumed..I`d bet (u)(k)(l)ubuntu-restricted-extras are the same metapackage for standard codecs and stuff.
[20:57] <xangua> maverock*
[20:57] <guntbert> lourense: then I'd say be satisfied, I didn't really read about "file" recently, but the program must have a way to identify the files (thats what I meant with "database")
[20:58] <S0LIDUS> Hey guys, I just wondered what the status of gigabit ethernet on ubuntu server?
[20:58] <nixbox> how can i compile a custom vanilla kernel along with its ddeb (not deb) used for debugging? When i use make-kpkg i can specify kernel_debug which builds a debug version, and is installed under /usr/lib/debug but the problem is even when i boot into the new kernel, systemtap complains about no being able to find debug info
[20:58] <guntbert> lourense: read man file for this
[20:59] <lourense> guntbert: thank you...
[20:59] <cousteau> ok, the F2 thing is an already reported bug
[21:00] <Side> hi ppl
[21:00] <Raydiation> hi i just encrypted my second hd with luks: cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain -s 512 luksFormat /dev/md0 then opened it with cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md0 md0. do i need to partition and format /dev/mapper/md0 first to use it?
[21:00] <guntbert> Jordan_U: not to argue, but do you have an idea why the man page of md5sum makes that difference (binary/text) - I supposed that the handling of white space would be different
[21:00] <Side> hi ppl
[21:00] <beyecixramd> a friend of mine messed up his gnome desktop. instead of restoring all applets, what's the folder for the GNOME panels settings?
[21:01] <Side> can i see all hardware somewhere in ubuntu 1010?
[21:01] <QTip> Hi everyone
[21:01] <QTip> I'm using an iMac 27', and I can't install ubuntu 10.10, all I get is a black screen
[21:01] <Bboy>  Good evening every body, I'm trying UNE live usb, But I can't log in, what is the default password?
[21:01] <Jordan_U> guntbert: It's because it matters on windows, and so someone might see "md5sum -b" and wonder what the "-b" did. If you look at "info md5sum" it explains that on GNU/Linux there is no difference.
[21:02] <Sabri> Side, Are you trying to view all the hardware that's compatible with 10.10, or are you trying to see something line Windows' Device manager?
[21:02] <QTip> I've googled for a few hours and I did not find anything quite usefull, is there anyone who could help me ?
[21:02] <S0LIDUS> How would I check to see if my ethernet adapter was gigabit?
[21:03] <guntbert> Jordan_U: thx, I read that now - I was never too comfortable with info....
[21:03] <nixbox> S0LIDUS: maybe check the output of "lspci | grep -i 'ethernet' "
[21:04] <goltoof> Qtiip... boot up in restore mode so you at least get cli
[21:04] <hallo> 'ello people
[21:04] <goltoof> *recovery
[21:04] <Side> Sabri, i want to c the hardware I have , like you could c it in windows
[21:04] <hallo> can anyone assist me installing ati drivers?
[21:04] <Jordan_U> guntbert: You're welcome.
[21:04] <Side> i just want to know if its possible
[21:04] <S0LIDUS> nixbox, Thanks mate!
[21:04] <Side> and where
[21:04] <goltoof> hallo, get Nvidia instead... trust me
[21:04] <Sabri> goltoof, would that also be txqueuelen under ifconfig?
[21:05] <nixbox> S0LIDUS: np
[21:05] <Sabri> Side, you can do that.  You have to install Device Manager.
[21:05] <Side> from the download center?
[21:05] <Side> of wit sudo apt-get?
[21:05] <hallo> @goltoof :)) i agree but that's what i have now...so i really need to set it up
[21:06] <FrEaKmAn_> is linux adding \r? or is this only windows thing
[21:06] <klawd> lxml is kind of overwhelming me. what is the best way to just get a subelement with a specific tagname and a specific attribute (+ value)
[21:06] <ddn> hi, I have lost my file and printing sharing since the last big ubuntu updating, is it a known problem?
[21:06] <Side> or with the terminal => sudo apt get commend?
[21:07] <QTip> @goltoof, what do you mean by booting in restore mode ?
[21:07] <Sabri> Side:  You can install it in the Synaptic Package Manager.  That means it's available from apt-get, but I don't know what name it is.  I'm looking to see if it's in Ubuntu Software Center.
[21:07] <nixbox> FrEaKmAn_: well end of line is usually a one character in windows, whereas its two chars in Linux, there used to be a utility called dos2unix to convert between format and i am pretty sure there is an sed one liner that could do that as well
[21:07] <Side> ty sabri :)
[21:07] <Bboy>  Good evening every body, I'm trying UNE live usb, But I can't log in, It keep asking for login info, what is the default password?
[21:07] <goltoof> QTip, if all you're getting is a blank screen then you at least need cli..  reboot into recovery mode by holding shift down
[21:08] <Sabri> Side:  It's in Software Center. :)
[21:08] <Side> ok ty
[21:08] <Side> and sabri, would you know where i could get some tutorials or info for the use of ubuntu?
[21:08] <supplicant> nixbox: no, it's two in windows and one in linux
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> Bboy: there isn't one. Press CTRL+ALT+F1   and run:  passwd ubuntu    and set the password
[21:09] <supplicant> \r\n in windows, \n in linux
[21:09] <zidoh> I've got a clean install of ubuntu with a Intel GMA HD card. For some reason, like once a minute, the screen blinks black, and returns to normal.. anybody got a clue what might do this?
[21:09] <Jordan_U> FrEaKmAn_: *NIX line endings are LF, or \n. Windows line endings are CR+LF, '\r\n'.
[21:09] <nixbox> supplicant: yeah i might have said the other way around :)
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> Bboy: did you MD5 test the ISO before you transferred it to the USB?
[21:09] <FrEaKmAn_> nixbox, Jordan_U thanks
[21:09] <Jordan_U> FrEaKmAn_: You're welcome.
[21:09] <QTip> @goltoof, I'll give it a try, thanks
[21:09] <DarK^NiGhT> Pershendetje Dhe Miresejugjeta Te Gjitheve :):)
[21:10] <Sabri> Side: Actually, I don't.  You might try the ubuntu website and forums, though. :)

[21:16] <xangua> f00bar80: add the key of the repositorry you added
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> !ot | Side
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update   use http://pastie.org   to give the output
[21:17] <GoldenFish4U> How do I go to a new page in OpenOffice Writer? Ctrl-Shift-Enter doesn't work.
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> GoldenFish4U: you can add a page break
[21:17] <Lars__> oh there left you have button
[21:17] <GoldenFish4U> How?
[21:17] <cousteau> f00bar80: translation: "WARNING (but not ERROR): You have added an external repository but not its pgp key, so I can't check if it's safe. However I will continue if you press OK, but you should add that key. Using add-apt-repository makes this unnecessary."
[21:18] <Gugagoes> Does someone with problems on Toshiba laptop?
[21:18] <goltoof> Sabri,  got no idea  : /   are you sure you meant to ask me?
[21:18] <Lars__> no none
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> GoldenFish4U: insert -> manual break
[21:18] <GoldenFish4U> thx ActionParsnip
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Lars__: can you expand on your issue
[21:19] <Sabri> goltoof, Yeah, actually.  You answered that one user's question about how to determine their Ethernet class.
[21:20] <Lars__> oh there yes
[21:20] <rikmor18> how do i clear a bios password on a dc7100 if the cmos/password jumper is not on the motherboard?

[21:21] <goltoof> Sabri,   http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialNetworking.html
[21:21] <dewyface> hey guys, i installed ubuntu sunday from cd. And now occasionally the whole computer just cuts of and starts again.  Does a disk check and finds errors but cannot resolve them. Any ideas?
[21:21] <Lars__> !ot | ActionParsnip
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> Lars__: when was I offtopic?
[21:21] <dean_> Hi could someone help me with my firewall?
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: boot to liveCD and check the disk for errors there. I also suggest you test your RAM for errors
[21:22] <Raydiation> hi how can i set the network domain of my pc? e.g. workgroup
[21:22] <rikmor18> dewyface: maybe your pc is running too hot with ubuntu?
[21:22] <dewyface> ActionParsnip how do i test the ram?
[21:23] <dean_> Can someone tell me how to configure my firewall to allow incoming connections?
[21:23] <dewyface> rikmor18 maybe i have a pretty good fan on here, how can i check this?
[21:23] <Side> ubuntu is great :D
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: reboot, hold shift, select memtest
[21:23] <rikmor18> dewyface: my acer aspire 5100 would do the same thing when I installed lucid lynx.  was able to adjust the temperature setting, but it kept saying "critial temperature reached: 95 C" and shut down.
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> dean_: by default it will allow all connections
[21:23] <delirus_> eh... the nvidia drivers on x-swat didn't fix my problem.  any way to get the ones that came with 10.04?
[21:23] <bytesaber> then link it to Google STD Edition
[21:23] <rikmor18> dewyface: i'm not sure.  someone walked me through it on here.
[21:23] <dewyface> ActionParsnip straight after bios or when loading
[21:23] <Aedolon> On Ubuntu 10.10 my Pidgin just randomly shuts down, is this known?
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> delirus_: remove the ppa and remove the driver you installed
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> Aedolon: tried the pidgin ppa?
[21:24] <rikmor18> still looking for some help myself: how do I clear a bios password?
[21:24] <dean_> on bittornado its stating I have no incoming connections and I am getting slow speeds?
[21:24] <Firewall> .
[21:24] <dewyface> Aedolon same whats going on haha
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: yes, before the plymouth splash
[21:24] <dewyface> ok ill try it
[21:24] <Aedolon> ActionParsnip: No, I'll do that now.
[21:24] <delirus_> ActionParsnip:  already done... but now I have the default ones from 10.10, and the exact same problem
[21:24] <Gugagoes> Someone aobut Toshiba headphone jack?
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> rikmor18: your question is a hardware question and not ubuntu so is offtopic, ask in ##hardware
[21:24] <dewyface> if i find errors what can i do
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> dean_: do you use a router?
[21:25] <f00bar80> vnstat -i ra0 returns =>  ra0: Not enough data available yet., any comment ?
[21:25] <dean_> I do ActionParsnip but at mo I have it wired to see if it helps but not much
[21:25] <tangodown40> i have a little problem here -- yesterday, I installed kubuntu-desktop in addition to my ubuntu-desktop. But shortly after, I decided to remove it and just stick with Ubuntu-desktop. Now, for some reason, whenever I use a browser the fonts are rendered differently from the rest of the desktop. Is there a way to fix this?
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: try removing RAM til you isolate the bad stick, then replace. If you only have one stick then replace it
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> dean_: then look into port forwarding there
[21:25] <dewyface> i dont think its the ram, everything was running fine before hand i think tahts a bit extreme
[21:26] <goltoof> tangodown40,  did you already reinstall ubuntu-desktop?
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> dean_: if your ISP throttles torrents then tis will affect you and you will need to use a proxy
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: its not extreme at all, its a simple test using a well respected ram tester. How is it extreme?
[21:26] <zmitya> hi Gents
[21:26] <dean_> ActionParsnip, could you put that in laymans terms lol
[21:26] <umut> does anybody use snippetsEmu Vim Plugin? I don't get the installation process described here : http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1318
[21:26] <zmitya> it seems that I hit this netbeans bug: http://forums.netbeans.org/post-87466.html
[21:26] <dewyface> ActionParsnip hehe sorry just a bit nervous of doing that
[21:26] <zmitya> how can I use gdb 7.1 in my maverick ?
[21:26] <zmitya> I mean how can i downgrade ?
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: what? testing the ram?
[21:27] <dewyface> ActionaParsnip: Everything was working fine on debian though:|
[21:27] <tangodown40> ubuntu-desktop was already installed, but after removing kubuntu-desktop I reformatted the / partition and installed ubuntu again.
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: well there will be a time when it works and a time when it doesn't, you may have just passed that time
[21:27] <Notorious_> I'm having some trouble to install my ubuntu, I made a bootable pen-drive and with this pen-drive I've already installed ubuntu in one machine, but in this machine when the Install window appears both mouse and keyboard stucks, no matter what mouse is or keyboard
[21:27] <dewyface> ActionParsnip: ok cheers buddy im gonna do it hahah
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> dean_: if you forward the port in the router which you are using with your torrent client on the same port, it can help
[21:28] <dean_> Earlier I was getting fast speeds but now its slowed down but on Bittornado its showing a yellow light which means I dont have a incoming connection
[21:28] <goltoof> if you're dealing with a fresh install then what you did before has nothing to do with your problem, less you formatted the partition improperly
[21:29] <Notorious_> can someone help me?
[21:29] <Notorious_> :x
[21:29] <Lars__> yes i @notor
[21:29] <tangodown40> goltoof: I didn't format /home, so whatever was on there is still there
[21:29] <Lars__> where is your question
[21:29] <dlublink> I want to encrypt a file using a public key that I have from ssh, but I don't want to import the key or make a key ring. I just want to reference the file directly. How would I do this É
[21:29] <Sabri> !patience | Notorious_
[21:29] <f00bar80> any comment ?
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: have you tested the USB health? Did you test the RAM?
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: on what?
[21:29] <goltoof> tangodown40,   then your problem most likely is in /home, eh?
[21:30] <f00bar80> ActionParsnip, vnstat -i ra0 returns =>  ra0: Not enough data available yet., any comment ?
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: what are you trying to achieve?
[21:30] <tangodown40> goltoof: Yeah, but I already deleted any leftover KDE files
[21:30] <dean_> I think maybe I will stick with windows seems alot of hassle with Ubuntu
[21:30] <f00bar80> ActionParsnip, monitor my monthly bandwidth
[21:30] <Lars__> windows buh ubuntu ya
[21:31] <delirus_> dean_  go for gentoo.  much simpler than ubuntu :p
[21:31] <meowsus> Is it possible to download a .deb package from the repositories to my desktop as opposed to using apt-get install?
[21:31] <Notorious_> I'm using windows fine, but it's only when the Install window appears in the installation boot, before it the mouse can move properly, but in the exact moment when the "Install" window appears asking me for language and option both stucks
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html
[21:31] <dean_> gentoo how is it easier delirus_
[21:31] <delirus_> heh
[21:31] <delirus_> was a joke
[21:31] <goltoof> please clarify, if you purge ubuntu-desktop and isntall kubuntu-desktop... that's only going to change your desktop interface?  it's nothing like a fresh install
[21:31] <Lars__> delirus_: dpkg -i name.deb
[21:31] <fcuk112> if i want to cp files with only extensions xxx, yyy and zzz, how do i do this?
[21:31] <delirus_> (but a true one)
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: try these boot options: i8024.reset    i8024.nomux=1     irqpoll
[21:32] <f00bar80> ActionParsnip, i want it to append bandwidth usage , not to reset on every new session/connection
[21:32] <cousteau> meowsus: you can use packages.ubuntu.com, or use synaptic to generate a downloader script to download from another ubuntu
[21:32] <meowsus> ah
[21:32] <meowsus> Thanks cousteau
[21:32] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, where to put this?
[21:32] <aeon-ltd> fcuk112: wildcards, cp *.yyy
[21:32] <Lars__> delirus_: dpkg -i name.deb
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | Notorious_
[21:33] <Notorious_> Ty
[21:33] <Sabri> tangodown40, it is possible that the browser is using the stylesheet left over from kubuntu.  That's what it sounds like.
[21:33] <dean_> So is there an easy way to configure router to allow incoming ports?
[21:33] <tangodown40> goltoof: I had both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed - ubuntu-desktop was never removed from my computer, only kubuntu-desktop.
[21:33] <felipellrocha> hey. i got a headless ubuntu server running virtualbox... i wanted that my host os to show in the monitor whenever i plugged a monitor to it.... not ubuntu... is it possible?
[21:33] <umut> any vim geeks aroun?
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> umut: try in #vim
[21:34] <Gugagoes> Man! Please! Someone know how to fix the headphone jack for Toshiba L655?
[21:34] <damian-> felipellrocha, from what you just said Ubuntu was your host..
[21:34] <felipellrocha> yeah
[21:34] <goltoof> tangodown40,   i suggest you sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop then
[21:34] <Sabri> !patience | Gugagoes
[21:34] <umut> ActionParsnip: thx
[21:34] <tangodown40> Sabri: How do I remove that stylesheet?
[21:34] <felipellrocha> damian-: yeah. pretty much
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> Gugagoes: is audio coming out of both when you plug in a headphone set
[21:34] <goltoof> tangodown40,   and reinstall
[21:34] <damian-> then you mean show your guest when a screen is plugged in?
[21:35] <JayPhill89> is there a folder that has all the installed applications listed
[21:35] <damian-> felipellrocha, if you're running a headless ubuntu host without gui, you can't show the guest at all (because there's no gui to display it)
[21:35] <tangodown40> goltoof, Will anything happen to my files / programs by doing that?
[21:35] <fcuk112> aeon-ltd, i want to do something like cp *.[xxx|yyy|zzz] how do i do that?
[21:35] <goltoof> tangodown40,   no
[21:36] <felipellrocha> damian-: so id have to install a gui for it to work?
[21:36] <Gugagoes> ActionParnship: There is no audio on both.
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> JayPhill89: you can make one with: dpkg -l > ~/Desktop/applist.txt; gedit ~/Desktop/applist.txt
[21:36] <dean_> Ok I think as I am being ignored I was informed incorrect that ubuntu chat was friendly
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> Gugagoes: ok let me see
[21:36] <tangodown40> goltoof: And that'll also remove the leftover KDE stylesheet(s)?
[21:36] <Gugagoes> Thanks.
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> dean_: I ave you direction, use it
[21:36] <damian-> felipellrocha, correct. i don't know why you'd want/need that anyway unless you're having networking issues. virtualbox allows you to RDP to the guest system, not just the guest os
[21:36] <JayPhill89> thanks ActionParsnip
[21:36] <goltoof> tangent3,   not sure, but it won't cause any damage to reinstall, for sure
[21:37] <dean_> I am a noob ActionParsnip I have no idea it looks difficult
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> dean_: its nothing to do with Ubuntu, its networking
[21:37] <guntbert> dean_: try ##networking
[21:37] <dean_> I dont have this problem with windows though ActionParsnip it dont affect my speeds
[21:38] <felipellrocha> damian-: because i just got this new computer that i want to run the server 24/7. and sometimes i might need to use it for presentations, for which id like to have win7...
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> dean_: find your router manual and look how to port forward, if you flick around in your torrent client you will see the port used, port forward that port using TCP to the IP addrress of the system. I recommend you use a static IP so DHCP lease expiration doesnt sever the link
[21:38] <damian-> dean_, it's a very hard question to answer anyway, it depends on your router / network setup. look at your routers manual, there should be a part in there on how to forward ports
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> fcuk112: i would assume (i'd test on some copied or dummy files first though), cp *.{xxx,yyy,zzz}
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> dean_: if you sit in here and bang the "i'm a noob" drum you will ALWAYS be a noob, if you research some and ook around you will learn a great deal and get as good as I am sure you are at some other oprating systems you have used for ages
[21:39] <damian-> felipellrocha, i don't quite understand .. you have your server (ubuntu) running a vm (win7) and now you have a new computer, or?
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> dean_: you dont run the sam client in windows so it works differently
[21:40] <felipellrocha> damian-: sry. yeah. the new computer is the computer running ubuntu + win7-vm...
[21:40] <Sabri> tangodown40, What browser is it again?  Firefox?
[21:40] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, is this valid for 10.10 setup? coz I don't saw anything like that when I installed on the other machine
[21:40] <fcuk112> aeon-ltd, cool that worked, thank you!
[21:40] <felipellrocha> damian-: and i am constantly ssh-ing into it...
[21:40] <tangodown40> Sabri: Firefox, chromium, google chrome, and some programs
[21:40] <skism> so I'm the guy with wubi problems installing xubuntu
[21:41] <skism> mainly maverick wouldn't work
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Gugagoes: can you use a pastebin to give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh   thanks
[21:41] <damian-> felipellrocha, ah. then yeah you need your host os (ubuntu) to be running a gui
[21:41] <skism> lucid didn't, barfed graphical garbage even in safest graphics
[21:41] <Sabri> tangodown40, Have you tried resetting your theme?
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: is the system identical?
[21:41] <felipellrocha> damian-: alright! thz man!
[21:41] <skism> maverick even game me pretty plymouth
[21:41] <JayPhill89> is there a fast way to switch between GNOME and Unity
[21:41] <tangodown40> Sabri: my firefox theme?
[21:42] <damian-> felipellrocha, i MAY be wrong, there COULD be a way to passthrough a device (such as a video card) straight to the guest os, but i'v enever seen it / used it
[21:42] <adrian_kx> hi ppl
[21:42] <Sabri> tangodown40, No, your Ubuntu theme.
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> JayPhill89: press ALT+F2   and run: mutter --replace   then run whatever it takes to get the unity bar
[21:42] <adrian_kx> anyone tryed to use ati catalyst with 2.6.36 kernel?
[21:42] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, how so?
[21:42] <adrian_kx> or isnt supported by ati yet
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: in every way.
[21:42] <Notorious_> dunno :/
[21:42] <f00bar80> ActionParsnip, which one monitor that i can use to know toTal internet traffic usage per month ?
[21:43] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, but there's no menu like this
[21:43] <tangodown40> Sabri, well, I did change it to something else, but it didn't affect the fonts.
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: if the systems in hardware are identical then they will act the same, if one has a different motherboard then it will directly impact the install process and be different
[21:43] <zkam> f00bar80, mac or windows?
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: not sure dude
[21:43] <f00bar80> zkam, ubuntu
[21:43] <zkam> oh can't help you there f00bar80
[21:43] <felipellrocha> damian-: aah. thatd be the perfect solution
[21:44] <felipellrocha> damian-: ima take a look into it...! thz man!
[21:44] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip are you meaning from the machine i've installed earlier?
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: you could use snmp to monitor sent packets and once a month take a reading then reset the counter
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: yes
[21:44] <JayPhill89> ActionParsnip: mutter --replace acted like it was working but the screen that came up again was still Unity
[21:44] <goltoof> tangodown40,   is it just your browsers messed up, or is it system wide?
[21:44] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, no they're differente
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> JayPhill89: unity ises mutter as it's WM, it will be compiz in natty
[21:45] <Notorious_> different*
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: then thats why its acting different
[21:45] <Sabri> tangodown40, Try changing the fonts to something else and then changing them to you preference.  Tell me if that makes a difference.
[21:45] <f00bar80> ActionParsnip :(
[21:45] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, but it was not supposed to act like this, this is very strange
[21:45] <tangodown40> Sabri, it's system wide, plus the buttons are also affected.
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: thats all i can recommend, using snmp is simple
[21:45] <docmur> my sound cards not showing up in the sound app so I when I dmesg I get http://pastebin.com/dBYE4pKA
[21:45] <X-Sleepy-X> does ubuntu make use of an already existing swap partition located under the same partition table as the intended installation partition during the installation procedure?
[21:45] <docmur> but I don't know what it means
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: the hardware is different and may not work with zero options, so you may need some switches and stuff to make the kernel talk to the hardware right
[21:46] <Sabri> tangodown40, That's what I'm thinking.  Try changing the font and then changing it back.  See if that makes a difference.
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> X-Sleepy-X: i believe so
[21:46] <duffydack> f00bar80, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMonitorInternetTrafficTotals
[21:46] <dlublink> Can I use my ssh key pair for gpg ?
[21:47] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, I though this pen-drive boot setup was supposed to work right on every hardware, hmm
[21:47] <X-Sleepy-X> ActionParsnip: so that would in theory compensate for shortage on ram?
[21:47] <tangodown40> Sabri, changing the fonts didn't help.
[21:47] <X-Sleepy-X> of*
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: how can it, the number of hardware variations are astronomical, yes it tries to accomodate most but some setups need special options
[21:47] <boxbeatsy> hi, does anybody know why i am getting a white box at the top left of my screen when i'm using wine?
[21:48] <Sabri> tangodown40, Did you update any programs (firefox, for example) while under Kubuntu?
[21:48] <kona680> hello
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> X-Sleepy-X: you can use: top  to see whats chewing the RAM, launch a terminal via CTRL+ALT+T and see whats going on
[21:48] <tangodown40> Sabri, In fact, in Firefox a lot of the words are in a different language (i changed the fonts back to Ubuntu)
[21:48] <tangodown40> Sabri, No I did not update any programs.
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: what app are you running, oris it all apps?
[21:49] <X-Sleepy-X> ActionParsnip: i was planning to use the alternate cd... :)
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: some make a tray icon (like spotify)
[21:49] <danktamagachi> are there any disadvantages to using kubuntu over the normal version?  will I miss out on any apps? any lost functionality?
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> X-Sleepy-X: ah, i see
[21:49] <Sabri> tangodown40, You have me stumped.  Of course, my understanding of Ubuntu is more limited...
[21:49] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip and how to set this special options that you told me? I don't see any menu like that from the wiki article
[21:49] <kv102t> anyone know if you can use eToken SSO on ubuntu 10.4 or 10.10 ??
[21:49] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: i'm running a random app called ICC, and it only happens for thsi one app
[21:49] <Firartix> hey therere :D
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> danktamagachi: you can run gnome apps in kde if you wish. Depends on what apps you use. If you use a lot of KDE apps then use KUbuntu. If you use gnome apps then use gnome
[21:50] <ubuntu4shane> is there ANY smartphone that is compatible with Ubuntu (ie that syncs with evolution) ??  I want to sync contacts and calendar
[21:50] <Firartix> i would like to know if there is any way to get a plain standard graphic file explorer on 10.11 Netbook edition ?
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: is there a fix on the wine appdb?
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> !ot | ubuntu4shane
[21:51] <lopeze> Hey. I'm attempting to install StarCraft II and how to's tell me to follow these commands to unhide the necessary install files. sudo umount /media/SC2-L100-D1     sudo mount -o ro,unhide,uid=1000 /dev/sr0 /mnt                          cd /mnt           . From there I'd use wine to install it but it hangs and as such I need to copy the CD's contents but I don't know how to. Anyone know how to transfer the data to the desktop?
[21:51] <X-Sleepy-X> danktamagachi: the only thing i noticed in a previos version of kubuntu was that the network manager didn't find any hidden wireless network but i guess there is a way around that...
[21:51] <pthakkar> #join virtualbox
[21:51] <Firartix> i am seriously disappointed by the way you can't open anything :|
[21:51] <goltoof> tangodown40,   reinstall ubuntu-desktop...   your previous kubuntu install must have compromised your settings.  reinstalling should reset your settings
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> X-Sleepy-X: could use wicd, its DE independant
[21:51] <coz_> Firartix,  not sure .... I have not use netbook much... did you try opening a terminal and   nautilus   as the command?
[21:51] <Firartix> aside from that strange "files & folder" window that find 1/4 the stuff
[21:51] <Firartix> hmmm no
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: can you expand on "open anything" please
[21:52] <Firartix> i mean getting a file explorer
[21:52] <Firartix> i see none accessible by any graphic mean on 10.11 netbook
[21:52] <ubuntu4shane> ActionParsnip, ok, will check there, although I don't really think this is off-topic, it is a Ubuntu compatibility thing, non-the less.
[21:52] <kv102t> anyone know if you can use eToken SSO on ubuntu 10.4 or 10.10 ??
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: if you use the files and folders item on the left, it runs nautilus which is EXACTLY the same as the desktop OS
[21:52] <guampa> hello
[21:52] <tangodown40> goltoof, alright, I'll try doing that. Do I have to use --purge?
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu4shane: this is for users having issues with their OS
[21:53] <Firartix> are you kidding o_O ?
[21:53] <Firartix> i can't get to open any folder
[21:53] <ubuntu4shane> ActionParsnip, understood, thanks
[21:53] <Firartix> i can just "search through my documents folder"
[21:53] <Firartix> with 20% accuracy
[21:53] <coz_> Firartix,  then try in terminal   nautilus  see if that is what yo u want
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: sure you can, your user can navigate and read almost any file, you will have limited write access due  to your user being a user
[21:53] <goltoof> tangodown40,  i would anyway
[21:54] <coz_> Firartix,   or   gksudo nautilus for more permissions
[21:54] <guampa> i have an issue with virtualbox, every time i reboot my machine i have to recreate a second "host" adapter
[21:54] <Firartix> ActionParsnip: ... i'm talking about SEEING what is actually on your disk and stuff
[21:54] <Firartix> :|
[21:54] <Firartix> besides, the file & folder is just giving me a black screen now
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: do you mean the stuff OUTSIDE of $HOME?
[21:55] <Firartix> yea
[21:55] <Firartix> and stuff inside it too, since half of it doesn't seem to be shown in there
[21:55] <dennda> On my apple keyboard the F1-F12 keys are per default used as media keys and I have to press an additional key to get to their FX meaning. How do I swap that?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: then click the up arrow in nautilus to navigate to /home then to / and you can navigate from there
[21:55] <guntbert> Firartix: coz_ : running nautilus with root permissions is *very dangerous™
[21:55] <guampa> why the second adapter dissapears?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> guampa: i'd ask in #vbox
[21:56] <coz_> guntbert,  you dont use  gksudo nautilus at any point?
[21:56] <Firartix> ActionParsnip: well i don't see any
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: true but its good for users needing to copy plugins and such
[21:56] <guampa> ok, thanks ActionParsnip
[21:56] <Firartix> it just open up a window with files sorted under 3 category
[21:56] <Firartix> "Recent" "Favorite" "Download"
[21:57] <kv102t> How to i change he login page?
[21:57] <Firartix> and buttons at top to select wether i want "Images" "Documents" "All files" or something
[21:57] <Firartix> but that's about it :|
[21:57] <guntbert> coz_: very rarely, and never when I might get distracted - so please if you recommend it give a word of caution as well
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Ubuntu_Netbook_Remix-is_(Nautilus).png    see the orange arrow pointing up in the toolbar, after then one pointing left and the one pointing right, hit that
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: youo can even press ALT+F2 and run:  nautilus /
[21:57] <Firartix> woaaaah
[21:57] <Firartix> i like don't have this thing at all
[21:57] <bekor> hello friends
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: why do you want the / folder to show?
[21:58] <Notorious_> ActionParnsip to edit boot options I need a live desktop cd?
[21:58] <Firartix> is it the stuff that get opened when you press "File and Folders" ?
[21:58] <Firartix> &*
[21:58] <bekor> anyone available for a question?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: are you installing or is the OS installed?
[21:58] <X-Sleepy-X> !ask | bekor
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: yes, thats pretty much the default layout
[21:59] <Firartix> ...
[21:59] <Firartix> i have a total different one
[21:59] <X-Sleepy-X> Firartix: Ctrl H
[21:59] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip I'm installing through a pen-drive, I've burned the ubuntu 10.10 image like told in the site
[22:00] <Teknoenie> If there are any developers here are they looking into https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kickseed/+bug/420903
[22:00] <Firartix> um X-Sleepy-X
[22:00] <Firartix> what is that supposed to do :o ?
[22:00] <Teknoenie> It still doesn't work
[22:00] <bekor> does anyone know why when i dual boot with windows on my ubuntu start up i have the windows chess pieces icon?
[22:00] <Firartix> does nothing
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: or like this: http://www.tuxradar.com/files/unr6.jpg
[22:00] <Firartix> ActionParsnip: what is your "Application" window looking like then ?
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: ?
[22:00] <X-Sleepy-X> Firartix: shows hidden files and folders....
[22:00] <kv102t> Anyone help me with changeing my login screen to one i have downloaded from the ink in the theme area.
[22:00] <Firartix> got nothing to do with it X-Sleepy-X >_>
[22:00] <X-Sleepy-X> Firartix: in nautilus that is....
[22:00] <Firartix> neither ActionParsnip
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: i dont use netbook remix but i've been around the block a few times
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: can you give a screenshot please
[22:01] <Firartix> well i used 10.04 for a few days ago
[22:01] <Firartix> it looked like opening nautilus or something
[22:01] <Firartix> but with 10.10 it got replaced by some mean stuff
[22:01] <Firartix> ActionParsnip: well, how :| ?
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> kv102t: the login screen isnt very themable, you can change the colour of the login box and the wallpaper but thats about it
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: use printscreen to make the shot, then host it on imageshack
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: or if you can find a similar shot online thats just as good
[22:02] <bekor> i have a dual boot with ubuntu 10.10 and windows xp my ubuntu start up page has the windows chess pieces icon any idea why?can I change it?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> bekor: use the about me in preferences, you can change your image there
[22:03] <Firartix> mmmh okay wait
[22:03] <kv102t> ActionParsnip: i followed link from ubuntu install to. http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter
[22:03] <number_k> I enabled autologin and having done so, on my next restart nautilus didn't come up.. and I'm not entirely sure where to look.. any ideas?
[22:03] <bekor> thank you.do you know why it has the windows thingy?is that normal?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> kv102t: yes they work in the old login app, the new one wont work with those
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> bekor: maybe they have a similar image
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> number_k: add it to your users startup items. May help
[22:04] <kv102t> ActionParsnip: oh, same in 10.10  Do you know if this is comming back or anything like that?
[22:04] <bekor> thanks but it is obviously a windows thingy
[22:05] <number_k> ActionParsnip: it has tried to start.. but can't, because it seems it didn't have the correct permissions or something, I'm not really sure, none of the gnome panels came up either, I'm trying to find the startup messages atm
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> kv102t: not sure, i dont pay attention to stuff like that as its on the screen for 3 seconds tops so i dont waste my time
[22:06] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip: I'm installing ...
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> number_k: you should be able to add to your own startup
[22:06] <Sonic132> Broken packages day 2. Now that I got rid of the other broken package. It's not listing another one when I click on the notifications applet on the panel. Any ideas?
[22:07] <Sonic132> *not = now
[22:07] <Firartix> okay ActionParsnip i got something
[22:07] <Firartix> i pretty got a window like that
[22:07] <Sonic132> !broken packages
[22:07] <Firartix> aside from the fact it lists stuff in home instead of applications
[22:07] <Firartix> http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/TFdCBoqKp3I/AAAAAAAABqM/wbXf7okOnjM/unity-apps.png
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: what is the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall nano
[22:08] <Sonic132> One second Action. I'll let you know.
[22:08] <number_k> ActionParsnip: when I try to run it I get "EggSMClient-warning... none of the authentication protocols specified are supported"
[22:09] <tangodown40> does anyone know of a way to remove KDE font hint settings?
[22:09] <number_k> ActionParsnip: I'm fairly sure its related to having tried to enable the autologin, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it! :)
[22:09] <Firartix> sigh
[22:09] <Firartix> um anyone
[22:09] <Firartix> what's the key to bring up the launch window ?
[22:09] <number_k> alt-f2?
[22:09] <Firartix> i thought it was alt-f2 but
[22:09] <Firartix> eeeh
[22:10] <Firartix> it's not working
[22:10] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: 'E: Invalid operation nano'
[22:10] <Firartix> for some reason
[22:10] <gurrney> whats the problem?
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install nano     my bad
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: use a pastebin to give the output
[22:11] <nothingspecial> Firartix: Have you removed gnome-panel?
[22:11] <Firartix> aaah i finally found the way :D
[22:11] <inckie> i followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto but i cannot login. i can see this in my log: http://pastebin.ca/1979907
[22:11] <Firartix> nothingspecial: uh ?
[22:11] <Firartix> no
[22:11] <inckie> and my /home/vmail dir is empty, no mailboxes were created.
[22:11] <Firartix> well i don't quite know what that gnome panel is
[22:11] <Firartix> you mean the left panel ?
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: why do you want access to the whole of the fiesystem, very strange
[22:12] <peppe__> ciao a tutti
[22:12] <nothingspecial> Firartix: never mind, just started looking. Disabling gnome-panel borks Alt-F2
[22:12] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524699/
[22:12] <Firartix> because the file & folders window doesn't show ANYTHING ActionParsnip
[22:12] <zm> If I make a RAID using a nvidia raid controller (the fakey kind), will I be able to access the same raid if I dual boot ubuntu and windows, (using ext2 IFS for windows) or will the drivers not be compatible?
[22:12] <Firartix> there's just one dir, 2 packets, and that's about it
[22:13] <Neo--> a bit late, but still... http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs006.ash2/33686_10150112239388452_636243451_7618575_4723825_n.jpg ;)
[22:13] <Firartix> even though i saved other stuff in my home dir
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: wow, thats pretty crazy, you can populate that by running nautilus and dragging the folders you want to the left panel
[22:13] <Firartix> yea i ran nautilus in a console and added it to panel :|
[22:14] <guampa> i'll repeat my question as i haven't had success in #vbox
[22:14] <guampa> i have an issue with virtualbox, every time i reboot my machine i have to recreate a second "host" adapter
[22:14] <guampa> why the second adapter disappears?
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: good move :)
[22:14] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: Did you read that? http://paste.ubuntu.com/524699/
[22:14] <guampa> all i've found is http://www.mail-archive.com/vbox-users@virtualbox.org/msg02293.html , and doesn't look good
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> guampa: are you the owner of ~/.virtualbox ?
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: yes, you need to satisfy that dep, let me see what I can find
[22:15] <Sonic132> Also, I thought nano was a text editor? Why would I need it?
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: can you give the output of: lsb_release -c   thanks
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: it's in a default install and will highlight the package structure corruption
[22:16] <nameless`> hi there
[22:16] <GeekMan> hello all, i run ubuntu 9.10  I'm planning on upgrading my desktop to the latest version of ubuntu. first i have a few questions to ask. 1. my update manager tells me i need to update to 10.04.1 LTS, but if i remebered right with one of the distros LTS usually wont be upgradeable after you upgrade the release version. I'm not sure about this though I might be going crazy about that. plus the update is older. Also I would agree that do
[22:16] <GeekMan> ing a fresh install is the best way to upgrade but it is time consuming in a way. 2 what is the benfits of a fresh install as to a upgrade. 3. the update to 10.04 is old so would a update still be an option or is it going to cause problems with the kernels and what not. anyways opinions are appreciated
[22:16] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: steven@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -c
[22:16] <Sonic132> Codename:	maverick
[22:16] <GeekMan> :P sry for the large post
[22:16] <nameless`> my question is not at all related to ubuntu, but since there is a lot of people here i'm looking for an alternative to the ipod 160go, is there anyone i can speak with in private about that ?
[22:16] <jrib> GeekMan: you can upgrade LTS
[22:17] <zm> GeekMan: You can easily upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 to 10.10
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> GeekMan: you will need to upgrade to lucid then to maverick, you can tweak LTS so it upgrades to the next release or you can wait for the next LTS after lucid and jump directly from LTS to LTS
[22:17] <jrib> !upgrade > GeekMan
[22:17] <nothingspecial> nameless`: not in private, but I have one
[22:17] <nameless`> nothingspecial: go ahead
[22:17] <nothingspecial> nameless`: what`s up?
[22:17] <brian> Using jolicloud, how do i enable the touchscreen on my computer?
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: 1.6.4-0ubuntu1 is in the main repo so should be installable, try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gvfs
[22:18] <GeekMan> :P thnc ubottu
[22:18] <nameless`> nothingspecial: you have one alternative ?
[22:18] <jrib> brian: this channel is for ubuntu support
[22:18] <GeekMan> or every one
[22:18] <GeekMan> lol
[22:18] <brian> Theres no jolicloud channel
[22:18] <jrib> brian: http://www.jolicloud.com/support
[22:18] <nothingspecial> no, I have an ipod like yours, do you have a problem with yours?
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> brian: /j #jolicloud
[22:19] <nameless`> nothingspecial: hehe you didn't understand me :) i don't want anything from apple, and i'm looking for an alternative to the ipod 160go
[22:19] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524701/
[22:19] <GeekMan> so in general the lts
[22:19] <GeekMan> is
[22:19] <jrib> !enter | GeekMan
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: that is also in the maverick repo
[22:20] <docmur> my sound cards not showing up in the sound app so I when I dmesg I get http://pastebin.com/dBYE4pKA
[22:20] <docmur> but I don't know what it means
[22:20] <zaxonspox> hello, how to disable Compiz before plaing on Wine? does Fusion-Icon with desselecting Compiz is enough?
[22:20] <nothingspecial> nameless`: oh I see. I find sandisk, if a little plasticky, to be a great alternative. However you should /j ubuntu-offtopic for this
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> !ot | nameless`
[22:20] <GeekMan> yeah i hit the enter key i was gonna type LTS'S but what ever it means long term support right?
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> !lts | GeekMan
[22:20] <jrib> GeekMan: yes
[22:21] <GeekMan> thanx ill just back up also when im backing up the files for the other users will they be encrypted in anyway
[22:21] <nameless`> nothingspecial: sandisk is 8/4 or 2 go
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> zaxonspox: i'd make a script to switch to metacity, then run the game, when the game is done, rerun compiz
[22:21] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: Well I have all the sources except the CD as it as an acquintance of mines CD. So he has it now.
[22:21] <nameless`> nothingspecial: i'm looking for much more :)
[22:22] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: Perhaps giving you a copy of the contents of sources.list would help solve the mystery?
[22:22] <zaxonspox> ActionParsnip, but does Compiz-Icon enough? i have then no compiz process in process lists
[22:22] <nothingspecial> nameless`: Archos then, but like I say /j ubuntu-offtopic
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: you may have to tell apt-get to pull down the debs only then use dpkg to force install them to make the packages square, this kinda of thing is one of the huge weaknesses in package based distros
[22:22] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: My acquintance also said that this is an Alpha version of Maverick.
[22:23] <guampa> ActionParsnip: sry lost connection. Yes i own ~/.virtualbox , i store the guest's xml and vdis in other directories and also own every file
[22:23] <zombiej> is there a setting i can change to make myself superuser? so i  dont have to type my password all the time?
[22:23] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, understand my problem?
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: if you installed the alpha then got fully upgraded, you are using the released OS
[22:23] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: I haven't a clue how to do that. I haven't much experience with dpkg.
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: i havent seen any text from you in ages
[22:23] <nothingspecial> zombiej: Yes, but this is unsupported here, I believe
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: time to learn
[22:24] <Cairo> what's the best IRC client for ubuntu?
[22:24] <zombiej> ahh ok im a noob wasnt sure
[22:24] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: I haven't gotten it fully upgraded. I did get some of them though before it went into broken package hell.
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> guampa: ok thats good
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: is this a clean install?
[22:24] <nothingspecial> zombiej: No problem
[22:25] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: It all started when I got the nvidia-current driver. Then I had a broken package that mentioned it. So I deleted them both and now I have another broken package.
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: there is no best app for anything
[22:25] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: No...not quite. But close.
[22:25] <coz_> Cairo,   I use xchat and I know many that use irssi
[22:25] <deathanatos> Help: I can't drag windows, or switch workspaces, or alt+tab. Alt+Space says "Window manager warning: GtkMenu  failed to grab the pointer."
[22:25] <D4rkCl0ud> hi
[22:25] <guampa> Cairo: KVirc is good imo
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: apt-get has a switch to download only, debs are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives
[22:25] <D4rkCl0ud> who can help me? i cant install apts
[22:25] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu doesn't have anything similar to system file checker (sfc)?
[22:26] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip you ask me if I am installing or if it's already installed, I answered that I'm installing the ubuntu, and when I boot with the installation pen-drive, in the "Install" screen, where it asks my language, etc, my mouse and my keyboard (hardware) stucks
[22:26] <Notorious_> asked*
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: you are using an OS advocating freedom and choice, yet you wander in here for some strangers to tell you what to like and use? Smacks of microsoft don't you think??
[22:26] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: How would downloading it only help?
[22:26] <Cairo> just a bit
[22:26] <Cairo> buy Empathy is horrible
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: because it won't install so you need dpkg's --force-all option to push the package in and make things square again
[22:26] <Cairo> for me at any rate
[22:26] <duffydack> !irc | Cairo
[22:26] <duffydack> oops
[22:27] <Cairo> lol
[22:27] <Cairo> !ircclient
[22:27] <Sonic132> Ok I think I see what your saying.
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: so if everyone said empathy was the best, would you use it?
[22:27] <duffydack> thats the one
[22:27] <duffydack> lol
[22:27] <Cairo> no
[22:27] <duffydack> there 'was' one somewhere
[22:27] <D4rkCl0ud> i cant download apts, who can help me?
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: so why ask in the first place?
[22:27] <zaxonspox> ActionParsnip, but does Compiz-Icon enough? i have then no compiz process in process lists
[22:27] <Cairo> because i wanted to know what was the most popular
[22:27] <guampa> duffydack: it says "as well as IRC clients"
[22:28] <coz_> Cairo,   check out the screenshots of all menioned... you wont get an idea of how they actually feel to use but you may get an idea of what you might prefer
[22:28] <coz_> Cairo, ` :mentioned:
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: the link ubottu gave has a list of available irc clients, try a few and see what you like :)
[22:28] <Cairo> ok
[22:28] <Sonic132> How would I find out the switch to download deb only with apt-get?
[22:28] <Cairo> thanks
[22:28] <Sonic132> !apt-get
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: popular doesnt mean anything, just like other people's opinions of which app is best for something
[22:28] <duffydack> man apt-get
[22:28] <nothingspecial> Sonic132: man apt-get
[22:28] <GeekMan> ill just back up also when im backing up the files for the other users will they be encrypted in anyway
[22:28] <coz_> Sonic132,  generally apt-get downloads .deb packages and installs them
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: man apt-get
[22:28] <guampa> god i wish i could solve this freakin virtualbox problem
[22:29] <GeekMan> apt get moo
[22:29] <Sonic132> Thanks everyone.
[22:29] <duffydack> --download-only
[22:29] <duffydack> btw
[22:29] <Solved> Is there a terminal command to temporarily disable use of the internet and then a command to get it to work again?
[22:29] <nothingspecial> duffydack: just -d will do
[22:30] <duffydack> sudo ifdown eth0 (ety0 for example)
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Solved: sudo ifdown interfacename
[22:30] <duffydack> nothingspecial, oh,cool.
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> or: sudo service networking stop
[22:30] <dli> Solved, easier with n-m, like /etc/init.d/network-manager down
[22:30] <nothingspecial> Solved: sudo service networking stop ..... I think, then change stop to start
[22:30] <Solved> ActionParsnip: and how do I get it to work again?

[22:32] <Solved> ActionParsnip: I get "stop: unknown instance"
[22:32] <nothingspecial> Solved: because you`ve stopped it

[22:33] <Sonic132> coz_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524706/ That's what I get.
[22:33] <guampa> maybe he is connecting via wlan / ppp / usb
[22:33] <duffydack> could also use synaptic to generate download script

[22:33] <Solved> llutz: what is command to make it work again
[22:34] <llutz> ifdown/ifup won't work when using networkmanager, because they aren't configured in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:34] <llutz> Solved: sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[22:34] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: If your still there. You could take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/524706/ as well.
[22:34] <rmaus> question regarding GNU Screen: how do you print the current screen's name or title, or how do you print whether you're currently viewing a screen or not?
[22:35] <Sonic132> Isn't it just like windows 'Print Screen' button?
[22:35] <nothingspecial> Sonic132: I get a not found
[22:35] <dli> rmaus, screen -ls
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: great. run:  sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gvfs*.deb    should do it
[22:35] <cobblewiffle> hi all
[22:35] <goltoof> rmaus,   ctrl-a, t
[22:35] <rmaus> dli, for me that prints all screens on my box, not necessarily the one I'm connected to
[22:36] <cobblewiffle> every time I start some 3d app my whole computer just freezes after a while
[22:36] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524707/ nope :(
[22:36] <dli> cobblewiffle, better, I get GPU hang, if I start compiz

[22:37] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: try:  sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gvfs-backends_1.6.4-0ubuntu1.1_i386.deb
[22:37] <rmaus> there we go, ctrl-a w worked
[22:37] <rmaus> thanks guys
[22:37] <cobblewiffle> i mean
[22:37] <cobblewiffle> i can't use any 3d app at all
[22:37] <cobblewiffle> since i put on maverick

[22:38] <ActionParsnip> cobblewiffle: if you run:  lspci | grep -i vga   it will show the video chip and you can websearch for guides

[22:38] <Raydiation> hi im having a problem
[22:38] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: Just a sec.
[22:38] <Raydiation> when i boot my pc i got my system partition as sda1
[22:39] <Raydiation> when i shut down adn boot again the same but when i reboot i got it as sdc1
[22:39] <cobblewiffle> did that
[22:39] <cobblewiffle> no dice
[22:39] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, I know you're only one, but if you cannot solve my problem tell me >.<
[22:39] <Crisco> so, today my dell laptop
[22:40] <Crisco> s touch pad was upgraded
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: if i had anything else to add, i would
[22:40] <Crisco> and when I came home from school I found that scrolling along the edge wasn't working anymore
[22:40] <Crisco> and that the tap to click function was turned on
[22:41] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524715/
[22:41] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, I am not using ubuntu, I'm installing so I don't have acess to the menu you told me
[22:41] <Crisco> I went to fix these problems, but I don't have a touchpad tab in mouse settings
[22:41] <nothingspecial> Raydiation: And the symptoms are?
[22:41] <Sonic132> Ok back. Sorry I'm slow. I'm on a laptop.
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: you do, you can press spacebar when you see the stcikman, then press e to edit the kernel line
[22:42] <Notorious_> oh
[22:42] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, dunno, now you heally helped me! thanks! =D
[22:42] <docmur> Okay so my sound cards works this morning and then I rebooted and now it's gone, I don't get it
[22:43] <Cubby> why ubuntu
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Cubby: why not
[22:43] <Sonic132> Damn my first ubuntu program crash.
[22:43] <nothingspecial> docmur: I think more info is needed
[22:44] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: Try running "sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/ /var/cache/apt/archives-bak" then "sudo apt-get -f install".
[22:44] <ryu_> does anyone know how to connect Eucalyptus up to bare metal Windows servers?
[22:44] <docmur> I literally don't know how to give you guys much more, my sounds card was fine yesturday and now it's missing from the sound app in gnome, when I msg there is probe error
[22:44] <Cubby> eeek sound in linux
[22:45] <nothingspecial> docmur: aplay -l

[22:45] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: Ok it's downloading. We'll see what's up when it's done.
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> docmur: can you use a pastebin to give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[22:45] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, should I try these boot options all together or one by one?
[22:45] <Crisco> should I upgrade ubuntu to see if that fixes the problem?
[22:45] <nothingspecial> docmur: pastebin
[22:45] <martianlobster> what is the best way to install flash  on  netbook remix 10.04  ?
[22:46] <Cubby> I used USB mem stick to install it on my netbook
[22:46] <Cubby> was very easy
[22:46] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: No errors and the notification for broken packages disappeared off the panel!
[22:46] <Sonic132> Anything I can do to try and make it less likely broken packages will occur?
[22:46] <martianlobster> Cubby:     what  did you have on your usb stick?   something you downloaded from adobe?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: i'd try noe by one, and then combinations, if the system is a sony viao then try: psmouse.proto=imps
[22:47] <aeon-ltd> martianlobster: adobe flash?, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[22:47] <martianlobster> aeon-ltd:    thanks   that sounds  nice and easy
[22:47] <docmur> http://pastebin.com/UT54QuNQ
[22:47] <docmur> Does ubuntu build the sound cards in as modules????
[22:47] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, It's a desktop, Intel Pentium 4, ATI video hardware, should I try anymore or just these three: i8024.reset    i8024.nomux=1     irqpoll ... ?
[22:48] <docmur> because that would be a really really really really bad idea
[22:48] <docmur> as any module is a bad idea
[22:48] <martianlobster> aeon-ltd:    after I install theinstaller,  do I need to run it?  or does the installer run inself automatically and install flash for  me?
[22:48] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: Somehow many of your package files were corrupted, did you have a power outage recently?
[22:48] <Devilz_108> A question : What is the name of the new font in 10.10 I want to DL it for 10.04
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: those are good for mice things, could also try nodma and irqpoll
[22:48] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: No not really. But I am using a laptop. Perhaps someone else killed the battery and it died.
[22:49] <Devilz_108> Anyone?
[22:49] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, gonna try, thx for the info, cya
[22:49] <ryu_> does anyone know how to connect Eucalyptus up to bare metal Windows servers?
[22:49] <ryu_> Anyone??
[22:49] <Lantizia> Hey, how can I use lvcreate without specifying a size (as in... use all available space in the volume group)
[22:50] <_Neytiri_> is there a active directory liek server on ubuntu?
[22:50] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: Jeez but that seemed like such a simple solution. But your the first one in about a day. That knew how to fix it. Thanks!
[22:50] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: You're welcome.
[22:50] <docmur> http://pastebin.com/gCwKwN5s
[22:50] <docmur> is what dmesg says
[22:51] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: Just to be sure, check your drive's SMART status and run fsck. The drive and filesystem are probably both fine, but it can't hurt to check.
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> docmur: try launching: alsamixer    in a terminal and make sure none of the channels are muted and all are cranked
[22:51] <docmur> cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[22:52] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: So when I'm not updating stuff. Should I get rid of all the packages? So that there'd be less chance of deb corruption.
[22:52] <nothingspecial> docmur: This may be useful  http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-emu10k1
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: wtg dude
[22:52] <nothingspecial> docmur: or not
[22:53] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: SMART is in Bios correct? Also it outputted a ton of stuff with fsck.
[22:53] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: No, only do it if you actually have a problem.
[22:54] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: You can check the SMART status via System > Administration > Disk Utility. And run fsck by running "sudo touch /forcefsck" then rebooting.
[22:55] <Sonic132> Thanks...I copied that down. So I'll remember.
[22:55] <ZykoticK9> Jordan_U, <slightlyOTbut> do you happen to know if the /forcefsck would work on another distro?  say Fedora?
[22:56] <docmur> that post has to do with building the new driver, but the old driver worked this morning
[22:56] <docmur> so sometime from then till now in a reboot the card stopped working in Ubunut
[22:56] <nothingspecial> bug
[22:57] <docmur> well I may as well compile my own kernel then and do it correctly unlike the one that is bundled with Ubuntu
[22:57] <docmur> they clearly built the sound card in as a module
[22:57] <docmur> which is a very wrong concept
[22:58] <ZykoticK9> docmur, if Ubuntu was to build EVERYTHING into the kernel - it would be use, and a waste for most people.  Modularity makes sense.
[22:58] <ZykoticK9> s/use/huge
[23:00] <docmur> modularity never makes sense,  I've built my kernel for years when I used Gentoo and never ever had driver issues, as soon as I start using modules the drivers go to shit and I'm left with a broken system.   If everything is built into the kernel then you'll have everything when you need it, so what give up the extra space and just move on it's not a big deal
[23:00] <IdleOne> docmur: please watch the language

[23:04] <hakume> 'm thinking it might be that the player needs to have  USB 2.0
[23:04] <sako> do i have to rebuild it or anything?? theres already a .deb

[23:04] <hakume> But I'm not sure.

[23:05] <banisterfiend> and a header?

[23:05] <evelyette> hi
[23:06] <evelyette> why do I get seg fault when I try to do "sudo su" ?
[23:06] <gh0stwheel> anyone understand how to use openbox-xdgmenu?
[23:06] <sachael> are the cool black popups in ubuntu from a normal gnome theme or some ubuntu magic? does anyone know a similar theme with kde-styled popups?
[23:06] <obsidieth> hm
[23:06] <clincher_> how do you make a partition active on ubuntu?
[23:06] <obsidieth> they're not gnome
[23:06] <obsidieth> i forget what its called, but you can use them in any wm/dm
[23:06] <ZykoticK9> evelyette, not sure why you're getting a segfault (probably not a good sign) BUT use "sudo -i" if you REALLY need a root prompt (you probably don't)
[23:07] <sachael> obsidieth: I guess I could. I'm wondering if there is a gnome theme that integrates with kde, popups including
[23:07] <banisterfiend> HOW do i find the location of a library??
[23:07] <grimgrim> locate
[23:08] <rypervenche> I'm having a problem with running something very simple in a shell script. Can I get someone's help with it? It's rather specific.
[23:08] <grimgrim> ls /usr/lib* | grep -i name
[23:08] <grimgrim> etc etc
[23:08] <obsidieth> find, too.
[23:08] <gh0stwheel> sachael, im pretty sure kde has its own popup notifications
[23:08] <evelyette> ZykoticK9, works, but still curious why su is causing segfault
[23:08] <obsidieth> evelyette: can you su to other users
[23:08] <evelyette> obsidieth, no
[23:08] <sachael> gh0stwheel: sorry, I'm talking about the tooltip popups, they are black as well
[23:08] <obsidieth> how strange
[23:09] <obsidieth> does the md5hash of your su binary match what it should
[23:09] <sachael> gh0stwheel: kde has these cool blue rounded tooltips as well
[23:09] <ZykoticK9> evelyette, your not really suppose to run that command anyways - i'm kinda glad it's segfaulting.  best of luck though - root shell is almost never required, if you need it you're probably doing something incorrectly.
[23:09] <obsidieth> is there really a functional difference between sudo su and sudo -i.
[23:09] <evelyette> ZykoticK9, no I'm not, I just don't want to type sudo always
[23:10] <evelyette> obsidieth, how to check?
[23:10] <ZykoticK9> evelyette, lol my point exactly ;)
[23:10] <obsidieth> meh.
[23:10] <kid__> hi
[23:11] <ZykoticK9> evelyette, do what you want man - it's your system!  (i used to log in root under gentoo all the time, on freebsd too - i just don't see a need for it anymore).  Enjoy Ubuntu, and be extra careful when you type things!
[23:11] <kid__> my hibernate button is missing
[23:11] <obsidieth> got acpi packages installed.
[23:11] <StrangeCharm> how can i start a program in the background from the command line?
[23:11] <mlq> hello, is it possible to update from ubuntu 6.06 directly to ubuntu 10.10?
[23:12] <obsidieth> sure
[23:12] <obsidieth> with &
[23:12] <obsidieth> or pipe it to dev null
[23:12] <evelyette> ZykoticK9, yes I'm using freebsd and gentoo too, that's why I think it's stupid that I need to type sudo
[23:12] <Sir_Konrad> evelyette, get used to it.
[23:12] <gh0stwheel> mlq, that would likely be a disaster
[23:12] <obsidieth> its stupid that it segfaults.
[23:12] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, no not a good idea at all.
[23:12] <blackshirt> mlq: i think it is possible
[23:12] <aeon-ltd> martianlobster: sorry for the late reply, i do not know for sure
[23:12] <mlq> gh0stwheel: that does not matter - it is just a virtualbox :)
[23:13] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, I recommend going to 10.04 if you need LTS
[23:13] <blackshirt> mlq: with a lot of attention sure
[23:13] <ZykoticK9> evelyette, that's what excellent about ubuntu actually - it is very much a departure from the regular "unix" way of thinking about "linux" ;)  sorry i'm OT.
[23:13] <rypervenche> I'm having problem with something in a shell script that I made to play a video game. I have it "killall ibus-daemon" since the game can't play with it on, then I run the java game, and afterward I have it set to "ibus-daemon --xim &" then "disown". This works when I run it in a terminal and when I double click on the .sh file and choose "run". However when I run it from a launcher or double click on it then choose "Run in terminal" it does execute "ib
[23:13] <rypervenche> us-daemon" once I close the game. Any help?
[23:13] <martianlobster> aeon-ltd:    i just tried it out,  it installed without any fuirther work
[23:13] <obsidieth> probably be bumpy.
[23:13] <aeon-ltd> martianlobster: good :)
[23:13] <martianlobster> ye :)
[23:13] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: so an upgrad to 10.04 is easily doable?
[23:13] <obsidieth> sudo's benefits dont lie in dump you into a root shell, theres more to it.
[23:13] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, Doable? Yes, but I seriously recommend formatting.
[23:13] <banisterfiend> ok
[23:14] <swim> I just installed 10.04 and for some reason when I have number lock on, the right half of the letters part of my keyboard does number and wierd stuff..  i've ran 10.04 on a computer exactly like this before and never had issues..  can somebody help??
[23:14] <banisterfiend> can someone give me an exact command to type to locate the tcl.h file somewhere on my system? (sorry not experinced with linux)
[23:14] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, it's a disaster if you skip versions like that.
[23:14] <blackshirt> mlq: i think upgrade was possible directly..ubuntu is like debian system
[23:14] <jimisrvrox> id like I know how I could start Vino through ssh...right now im using TightVNC and its just not working at all..I can get a connection to my ubuntu box but I cant click on anything or move anything at all..
[23:14] <guampa> evelyette: you can just "sudo -s" if you want to stay root
[23:15] <ZykoticK9> banisterfiend, it might not be there!  Try "locate tcl.h" - my system doesn't find it!
[23:15] <mlq> blackshirt: ok, i guess i will give it a shot - is there, besides adding the new sources, something i should care about?
[23:15] <clincher> how do you make a partition active?
[23:15] <Sir_Konrad> blackshirt, I wouldn't do that...
[23:15] <banisterfiend> ZykoticK9: how do i refresh the locate database?
[23:15] <Sir_Konrad> good luck mlq.
[23:15] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: it is just a virtualbox image, i did a snapshot :)
[23:15] <ZykoticK9> banisterfiend, better yet - do a full search "find / -name tcl.h 2>/dev/null"
[23:16] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, oh LOL! I thought you must have been dealing with a server or something. XD

[23:16] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, ok then, give it your best shot. Hope it works. ;)
[23:17] <guampa> i'm having issues with virtualbox "host" adapters, the second adapter just disappears on each reboot, and i have to recreate it from the UI
[23:17] <guampa> it still shows up in VirtualBox.xml though
[23:18] <Sir_Konrad> guampa, sure it's not a VBOX issue?
[23:18] <Sir_Konrad> guampa, did you install the Additions properly?
[23:18] <teemo> im not seeing a boot screen, while ubuntu is booting, is that normal? Is it an option?
[23:18] <ZykoticK9> banisterfiend, no tcl.h on my system.  you could try installing the dev version of tcl (i don't have any knowledge of tcl really, don't use it myself)

This works when I run it in a terminal and when I double click on the .sh file and choose "run". However when I run it from a launcher or double click on it then choose "Run in terminal" it does execute "ib
[23:24] <rypervenche> us-daemon" once I close the game. Any help?
[23:24] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: when i directly get the maverick package list, the old apt-get fails parsing them
[23:24] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, hmm...
[23:24] <swim> my keyboard doesn't work right with number lock on
[23:24] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, would you mind jumping updates?
[23:25] <blackshirt> lucas_: yes, it was greats filesytem available for linux..but i have no experience with it
[23:25] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, you could jump to 7.04 > 8.04 > 9.04 > 10.04 > 10.10. :P
[23:25] <ynk> Can we ask questions about editing the linux kernel here?
[23:26] <guampa> ynk: maybe ##linux is better for that
[23:26] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: this would be too boring :D
[23:26] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, LOL! :D
[23:26] <ynk> guampa: thanks, pal.
[23:26] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, you could grab a new version of apt...
[23:26] <guampa> np buddy
[23:26] <clincher> can someone please answer how to mark a partition as active?
[23:26] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, but seriously, you'd be replacing 50% of the system just doing that.
[23:27] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: thats what i checked right now, the deps are qute huge
[23:27] <guampa> clincher: from the command line you can use the fdisk program
[23:27] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, yeah...
[23:27] <lucas__> blackshirt: Thanks anyway! I will put it on the test to see how it does
[23:27] <swim> fresh install 10.04 on hp pavilion dv9500 has faulty keyboard with number lock
[23:27] <NickyL1> my ethernet card on my desktop stopped working suddenly this morning.  I can not bring up my router through its IP address.  When I look at the Network Manager, it says that "wired network connection is active".
[23:27] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, are you doing this just for fun? :P
[23:28] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: yes
[23:28] <duffydack> clincher, or could use the Disk Utility.  fdisk and 'a' to mark bootable anyhow.
[23:29] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, ok. ;)
[23:30] <clincher> duffydack: ah, didnt know "bootable" meant active
[23:31] <Jef91> Anyone know if there is a way to change to a different tty in virtual box?
[23:32] <swim> 10.04, my keyboard isn't working right when NUM LOCK is on
[23:32] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, seems like a lot of trouble to do. When I get that itch to do something I usually get involved with either helping with Ubuntu or take a small distro (aka Puppy) and turning it into a full fledged desktop OS.
[23:32] <Sir_Konrad> swim, turn NUMLOCK off.
[23:32] <duffydack> Jef91, host key and Fx
[23:32] <swim> are you serious
[23:33] <Sir_Konrad> swim, um... yes. What kind of keyboard?
[23:33] <Jef91> diffydack Fx?
[23:33] <Sir_Konrad> swim, desktop or laptop?
[23:33] <Jef91> duffydack Fx?
[23:33] <Diamondcite> swim: Laptop? Desktop? Keyboard with an actual number pad?
[23:33] <swim> laptop
[23:33] <duffydack> F(number)
[23:33] <swim> yeah, it's got a standard keyboard setup
[23:33] <Jef91> thanks duffydack
[23:33] <Diamondcite> swim: So it has the number pad on the side?
[23:34] <Diamondcite> swim: If so how does it 'not work' with numlock?
[23:34] <duffydack> Jef91, host as in the host key assigned to vbox.
[23:34] <duffydack> Jef91, right ctrl by def.
[23:34] <swim> Diamondcite: yes, numbers on the side
[23:34] <Sir_Konrad> Diamondcite, I doubt. Sounds like an X issue.
[23:34] <swim> Diamondcite: when num lock is on, the letters display numbers and funny characters
[23:34] <Diamondcite> Sir_Konrad: I'm more wondering if his keyboard was mis-detected and assumed the wrong key layout..
[23:35] <Sir_Konrad> swim, so a letter will display a number?
[23:35] <swim> i'm changed the layout to a few other things since i noticed this and none of the other layouts work either
[23:35] <avo> hey guys, im not even kidding, but my spacebar is not registering as a space in ubuntu lucid. (I'm typing this because I have a space copied to my clip board..) Ubuntu recognizes the spacebar, the text entry boxes in GTK flash for a bitwhen i hit them. How can I fix this?
[23:35] <swim> Sir_Konrad the letters on the right half of the keyboard will all display number and astericks and whatnot
[23:35] <avo> Woah, this is interesting, if i do shift-space it works..!
[23:36] <Sir_Konrad> swim, a lot of laptop use the letter section of the keyboard as a keypad.
[23:36] <Sir_Konrad> swim, check those keys. They probably have little numbers on them.
[23:37] <_16BitSubsystem_> NickyL1: I had the same problem but with a modem HUAWEI E156B
[23:37] <Sir_Konrad> actually one of my laptops has that... :\
[23:37] <swim> I actually just replaced a computer just like this, same model, with this one, the previous one I had ran both 10.04 and 10.10 without any problems like this
[23:37] <NickyL1> _16BitSubsystem_ how did you fix the problem?
[23:38] <swim> no numbers, my last computers motherboard had went out so i replaced it with exact same model, old one never had this issue...
[23:38] <Sir_Konrad> swim, check your BIOS then. Maybe you applied keyboard settings there.
[23:38] <_16BitSubsystem_> avo: maybe the problem is in your keyboard
[23:38] <avo> _16BitSoft_,  Like a hardware thing?
[23:38] <_16BitSubsystem_> avo: yeah
[23:38] <swim> hmmm..  i'm not familiar with how to do that on ubuntu..  is there a bios update app in ubuntu???
[23:39] <avo> _16BitSoft_,  Certainly not, it only happens in GTK interfaces.. e,g, gnome-do isn't affected
[23:39] <Fito> friends: I have a problem with Function Keys..FN+Fx (suspend, volume works. Other like brigth control , wifi control doesn't)
[23:39] <_16BitSubsystem_> NickyL1: I couldn't
[23:39] <_16BitSubsystem_> NickyL1: sorry
[23:39] <clincher> is it normal that i dont have a menu.lst file in the boot/grub directory?
[23:39] <Sir_Konrad> swim, no reboot and press F11 or whatever key.
[23:39] <swim> okay, what will i be looking for???
[23:39] <Sir_Konrad> swim, it'll tell you which to press. ;)
[23:39] <swim> once i've done that???
[23:39] <swim> okay..
[23:39] <Sir_Konrad> swim, let me check...
[23:40] <Fito> swim: Try to press CTRL + Enter ..and test again

[23:47] <Leijon7> hello.  I installed Ubuntu on my desktop pc some days ago, but i could not get Open GL work, neither access the tv out
[23:47] <k-rad> my firefox isn't launching and i've no idea how to revive it, at the very least i'd hope to revive it without losing my bookmarks.  is -safe-mode the way to do that ?   it's been so long since i've used -safe-mode
[23:47] <Sir_Konrad> hope it works for you noname
[23:48] <Sir_Konrad> brb...
[23:48] <Leijon7> when i try to reinstall windows XP, the installation disk don't find the disk
 i need to donwload this theme ,but i'm confusing which file is the theme can u check the link :http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dark+Matrix+Theme?content=134081
[23:48] <k-rad> i got itunes 8.0 working just fine under the latest maverick repo wine, i'm hoping it supports audiobooks
[23:50] <goltoof> k-rad, del.icio.us extension for firefox... if you never want to lose your bookmarks... just my $.02
[23:50] <k-rad> goltoof, i don't necessarily want to share my bookmarks though
[23:50] <Baikonur> what's good for ubuntu netbook edition
[23:51] <goltoof> k-rad,   understood. you don't have to share them though, there's an option to make links private
[23:51] <Spacemonkeyadb> Anyone use smxi when installing linux? I used it and seem to like it...
[23:52] <cruz> This is my first time using Ubuntu, and I must say it is very nice and easy
[23:52] <goltoof> i just love it, haven't lost a bookmark in years
[23:52] <scotly1234> cruz: thank you. I can take most of the credit for the nice and easy.
[23:52] <cruz> I use to use Mandrake, and Suse. thanks scotly1234
[23:53] <scotly1234> cruz: Yeah, Suse used to be the nicest looking distro (IMHO) and easiest to use, but Ubuntu quickly caught up in looks and usability.
[23:53] <Spacemonkeyadb> What about the distro Ubuntu is based on?  Debian!
[23:54] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: ok, i guess i will give it another try tomorrow - i know build a newer apt version, but the checksums are failing :\
[23:54] <scotly1234> Spacemonkeyadb: Debian? debian who?
[23:54] <cruz> Yeah, I remember when Ubuntu had to be compiled and the copied to a CD if I remember right.  That was my first experience with it and didn't like it
[23:54] <cruz> then*
[23:55] <Spacemonkeyadb> scott...without debian...there would b no Ubuntu
[23:56] <cruz> my question is how do you set the su password
[23:56] <Ninja> ubuntu is the only level distro that i can trust myself with
[23:56] <cyphase> why why oh why does firefox not load pdf's inline using evince?
[23:57] <obsidieth> cruz: what are you su'ing to
[23:57] <Jordan_U> !noroot | cruz
[23:57] <blakkheim> cruz: watch out asking that here, they will get mad
[23:57] <Ninja> cause they're all too complicated
[23:57] <scotly1234> Spacemonkeyadb: I was kidding.
[23:57] <cruz> ok my mistake
[23:57] <dmoore> #swarm
[23:57] <obsidieth> having a root password is fine
[23:57] <rypervenche> You just need to know what you're doing.
[23:58] <obsidieth> !root
[23:58] <Scunizi> cruz: if you need extended root access use sudo -i ... don't forget to "exit" before closing the terminal
[23:58] <Jordan_U> obsidieth: It is not supported here.
[23:58] <obsidieth> i didnt say it was supported here.
[23:58] <Spacemonkeyadb> @scott...I thought so.
[23:59] <Ninja> to make a root password, first get to a root shell (easy, just "sudo bash") and then type "passwd" and set a root password
[23:59] <cruz> got it guys, thanks for the info
[23:59] <obsidieth> just for the love of god, dont set it as a misc female name or a 'password'.
