[00:02] <tortoise> Hi, ubuntu has become extremely unresponsive. I literally, can't do single thing without everything freezing up. The panel just went blank, came back and a few minutes later it shut itself off. Please, help. I have no idea what might be the cause of this.
[00:03] <aeon-ltd> tortoise: check process manager
[00:03] <xrdodrx> !offtopic | thechitowncubs, blakkheim
[00:03] <tortoise> aeon-ltd, how can I do that in cli?
[00:03] <thechitowncubs> oh ruf
[00:04] <cheche> holmser_: quick route chown <youuser> /var/www
[00:04] <tortoise> aeon-ltd, actually, how do I get to a regular cli from grub?
[00:05] <50UAAXZE1> Hello.
[00:05] <arcnewuss> is it normal that my soundcard has a use count of zero in lsmod
[00:05] <50UAAXZE1> Hello.
[00:05] <xrdodrx> 50UAAXZE1, hello
[00:06] <xrdodrx> tortoise, you have to be able to boot to get a "regular" command line ;)
[00:06] <50UAAXZE1> I was wondering what program uses the libgme0 package.
[00:07] <xrdodrx> !info libgme0
[00:07] <cheche> I have autologin workin just after the install of lucid, but after upgrade some packages it stop working where sould I look for troubles?
[00:07] <tortoise> xrdodrx, that's a problem, because I can't boot into gui
[00:09] <arcnewuss> i get this error with speaker-test
[00:09] <arcnewuss> "ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:979:(snd1_pcm_direct_initialize_slave) unable to install hw params"
[00:09] <arcnewuss> i am lost
[00:09] <Shocked> I can't get sound to work on  ubuntu on a macbook.
[00:10] <Shwaiil> Q: On virtualbox, what does they mean with HOST + F for fullscreen, whats the HOST key ? Thanks
[00:10] <mbroeker> Shwaiil, right ctrl-f
[00:10] <Axlin> right ctrl by default
[00:11] <dli> Shwaiil, isn't it right Ctl by default
[00:11] <aeon-ltd> Shwaiil: usually the left ctrl
[00:11] <greppy> Shwaiil: the HOST key is set in your virtualbox config, I think it defaults to one of the ctrl keys.
[00:11] <aeon-ltd> oh right
[00:12] <Shwaiil> Thakns
[00:14] <squ1d1> Hello
[00:16] <Shwaiil> Q: Let's say we have ubuntu has host, and win xp on virtualbox. How can we share folders between both ? Thanks
[00:16] <slyrus_> ok, let me try this piece by piece... If I have no /proc/asound, that means alsa isn't running?
[00:17] <Spaztic_One> when looking at the system monitor, processes tab, there is a column called "nice" what is that, and what does -11 mean for a process (pulse audio in this case)?
[00:20] <50UAAXZE1> I'm trying to find out what media players use the libgme0 package. I have quite a lot of psf and smc files that I want to listen to.
[00:21] <tim> Hey, I have emerald installed but it doesn't seem to be run
[00:22] <dli> tim, run it manually: emerald --replace &
[00:24] <14WAAA5E7> Renamed.
[00:24] <14WAAA5E7> Aw crud.
[00:25] <14WAAA5E7> ok
[00:25] <tim> dli would I have to make that run in my startup apps?
[00:25] <14WAAA5E7> I'm trying to find out what media players use the libgme0 package. I have quite a lot of psf and smc files that I want to listen to.
[00:26] <dli> tim, maybe, somewhere within ccsm

[00:28] <starredsteria> Has anyone here been able to get visual effects to work with dual monitors?
[00:28] <Hakume> I'm using maverick.
[00:28] <Hakume> I could.
[00:28] <starredsteria> (using 10.10 of course)
[00:28] <Hakume> I was able to with 8.10
[00:29] <starredsteria> hmm... was it easy? or did it take quite a lot to config?
[00:29] <dli> starredsteria, I have compiz running, and dual monitor working
[00:29] <starredsteria> really?
[00:29] <starredsteria> I have compiz running
[00:29] <starredsteria> works when I switch off one ofthe monitors
[00:29] <starredsteria> but won't work when I use both
[00:30] <Hakume> Very strange.
[00:30] <dli> starredsteria, what happens, when you enable the second monitor
[00:30] <Hakume> What graphics card do you use?
[00:30] <starredsteria> it just loads and asks me if I would like to keep configuration.. you can tell at that point.. the setting was put back to 'none' for effects
[00:31] <tortoise> Can someone help me? Ubuntu isn't responding hardly at all. As soon as I boot ubuntu, things start freezing and eventually it shuts itself down.
[00:31] <starredsteria> that I'm not sure..
[00:31] <tortoise> I have no idea what might be causing it.
[00:31] <starredsteria> Section "Device"
[00:31] <starredsteria> 	Identifier	"Default screen"

[00:31] <FloodBot2> starredsteria: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:31] <Hakume> Sounds a bit odd.
[00:31] <starredsteria> kk sorry
[00:31] <starredsteria> I also... when i installed
[00:31] <starredsteria> had to install xorg-edgers in order to get the second monitor to work
[00:32] <dli> starredsteria, I'm running intel video
[00:32] <starredsteria> When I first installed.... I couldn't get both montitors to work at the same time.....
[00:32] <starredsteria> well initially I would have intel... (acer aspire one) just not sure what model
[00:33] <Hakume> Oooh....ouch.
[00:33] <dli> starredsteria, I won't touch nvidia for as far as nvidia doesn't help OSS
[00:33] <Tweedle> man, ubuntu studio is amazing
[00:33] <Hakume> I've always had nvidia.
[00:34] <Hakume> I've never had any problems.
[00:34] <Hakume> Not after installing the drivers.
[00:34] <tortoise> ubuntu is not responding. And I really need to be able to use my computer by morning. Right now I can't even boot up the gui without everything freezing and eventually shutting down. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
[00:34] <starredsteria> I haven't really touched anything with it yet.... I've just reformated and installed 10.10 yesterday.... I only installed xorg-edgers as it was the only fix I could find in order to get both monitors to work at the same time
[00:34] <aeon-ltd> tortoise: try a  memtest
[00:35] <starredsteria> dli: did dual monitor and visual effects work automatically when you installed/upgraded?
[00:36] <tortoise> aeon-ltd, how do I do that?
[00:36] <starredsteria> I gues the driver that I'm using is Nouveau.... I'm not sure what the cmd is in terminal
[00:36] <dli> starredsteria, of course, if your card is not as new as arrandale (core i7 level GPU), intel should work by default
[00:36] <dli> starredsteria, AMD is less certain, but catching up quickly
[00:37] <blackdoggy> audacious not working after upgrade to 10.10 any help?
[00:37] <starredsteria> what cmd should I use to get that info?
[00:37] <starredsteria> I know its not amd....
[00:37] <dli> starredsteria, I can run compiz with dual monitor even on my old asus eee laptop
[00:37] <dli> starredsteria, video card? lspci|grep -i VGA
[00:38] <starredsteria> hmm.. then I think the issue is xorg-edgers... as I couldn't get dual monitors to work when I installed... so that was the fix I could find
[00:39] <dli> starredsteria, or you can spend $30 to buy an AMD video card
[00:39] <storrgie> I dont have suspend/hibernate options on my machine...... ubuntu 10.10
[00:39] <arcnewuss> aplay -l shows my sound card but the card wont show in sound pref
[00:39] <starredsteria> video card... http://paste.ubuntu.com/528452/
[00:39] <ZykoticK9> starredsteria, to see what driver your vga is using see the output from "lspci -k"
[00:39] <linuzo> blackdoggy, click on Audacious & goto preferences , audio & in the current audio plug in , select the drop down box & choose ALSA output plugin (-ng) then select close
[00:40] <linuzo> blackdoggy, then restart
[00:40] <linuzo> blackdoggy, restart audacious not the system
[00:41] <blackdoggy> linuzo i dont have alsa output plugin
[00:42] <linuzo> blackdoggy, do you have alsa installed?
[00:42] <blackdoggy> yes i had it with 10.04  but need to check now
[00:43] <Ricardopk> oi alguem ai
[00:43] <Ricardopk> brasileiro
[00:43] <allowoverride> im out l8
[00:43] <blackdoggy> yes
[00:43] <starredsteria> should I uninstall xorg-edgers and see what happens?
[00:43] <arcnewuss> fuser /dev/snd gives 2070 after killing pulseaudio

[00:43] <Spaztic_One> when looking at the system monitor, processes tab, there is a column called "nice" what is that, and what does -11 mean for a process (pulse audio in this case)?
[00:43] <linuzo> blackdoggy, sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils
[00:43] <starredsteria> I just know before it worked... the dual monitors didn't really work at all...

[00:46] <cylob> hi, when is ubuntu's next release and is it using some weird new interface?
[00:47] <cylob> ubiquity?
[00:47] <cylob> unity?
[00:47] <cylob> i forget
[00:47] <yagoo> !tell cyclob about unity
[00:47] <ZykoticK9> cylob, unity - 11.04 or 2010 april
[00:47] <ZykoticK9> s/2010/2011
[00:47] <yagoo> !tell unity to cyclob
[00:47] <miguel000> what is the difference between suspend and hibernate?
[00:47] <Hakume> Does anyone know of any programs that play those files?
[00:48] <cylob> can i try out unity now?
[00:48] <ZykoticK9> miguel000, hibernate copies ram to a file on HD then goes to VERY low power mode.
[00:48] <yagoo> Hakume, looks like umm smil meta files..
[00:49] <miguel000> ZykoticK9: thx
[00:49] <ZykoticK9> Hakume, i've never heard of psf or smc file (smc, is that a tracker format?) - does mplayer play them?
[00:49] <starredsteria> http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/libgme0 is the only thing I can find... maybe try going into some of your other music players that you already have installed.. and see if you can add it as a plugin
[00:50] <Acridian> lord
[00:51]  * yagoo asks himself wtf listens to videogame music during pasttime
[00:51] <ZykoticK9> !language | yagoo
[00:51] <Hakume> ZykoticK9, those are video game sound files.
[00:52] <ZykoticK9> Hakume, ;) ya, i figured with the comment - i have no idea how to play those???
[00:52] <Hakume> And I meant spc
[00:52] <yagoo> !language ZykoticK9
[00:52] <Hakume> I do.
[00:53] <Hakume> @***yagoo
[00:53] <blakkheim> ZykoticK9: do you get offended on a personal level when someone says "wtf" on the internet?
[00:53] <tortoise> How long do memtests usually take?
[00:53] <blakkheim> tortoise: a long time
[00:54] <Monotoko> hi guys...I was wondering if its possible to remove multiple packages (gnome-*) using dpkg? I tried -r but it wont work for purge
[00:55] <ZykoticK9> blakkheim, not really - BUT i do thing the no swearing and staying ontopic is very important if this channel is going to survive and thrive.  Keeping high standards towards support only is important - and the no swearing, including tla is something I think should not be tolerated at all.  yagoo/blakkeim i'm sorry if i upset either of you.
[00:55] <FortiesII> Hi, I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 and libc6_2.12.1-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb is giving me an unpack error
[00:56] <l34k> maybe it's corrupt
[00:56] <FortiesII> Err... I guess cleaning fixed it
[00:56] <rusivi> miguel000: Hibernate saves the state of RAM and the OS to your internal HDD, then turns the computer off. Standby copys the state of your OS into RAM, then goes into a low power state. ZykoticK9 is slightly mistaken.
[00:57] <ZykoticK9> miguel000, i agree with rusivi's analysis
[00:57] <nucc1> rusivi, hibernate depends on your Swap, right?
[00:58] <ZykoticK9> nucc1, in my opinion one of the only reasons for swap
[00:58] <massmc> anyone know how to fix the notification area errors while in tightvnc gnome?
[00:58] <FortiesII> massmc, does it have transparency issues?
[00:58] <nucc1> ZykoticK9, yea, and one which it would be nice to lose soon
[00:59] <massmc> FortiesII, no, theres just open error boxes next to the network manager.. only in vnc tho
[00:59] <massmc> oh wait, it Does

[01:13] <AeSix> xangua you got one of them for wireless connection bootup?
[01:13] <Monotoko> xangua, its outdated....and blackshirt, then why is the xserver stuff still installed?
[01:14] <ZykoticK9> Monotoko, removing "ubuntu-desktop" just removes the meta package, nothing else.  See the !purekde for the remove instructions.
[01:14] <arcnewuss> my soundcard is card 0 in aplay -l
[01:14] <blackshirt> Monotoko: try remove xserver-xorg-core packages
[01:14] <blackshirt> arcnewuss: is it working ??
[01:15] <ZykoticK9> Monotoko, sorry according to the !purekde it should work - i remember when the !purekde talked about removing other files that forced the removal of ubuntu-desktop, now its the other way around.  my bad.
[01:15] <Monotoko> ZykoticK9, no worries
[01:16] <EO_> How do you tell NetworkManager to do DHCP, but substitute the DNS servers with user-defined values?

[01:19] <wombatguy> would anyone actually recommend gnucash
[01:19] <wombatguy> how comparable would it be to quickbooks?
[01:20] <somedude> what are the requirements for making a bootable partition on new sata drives
[01:20] <Paula_> hi
[01:21] <Paula_> que gracioso
[01:21] <AeSix> wombatguy the last time I used gnucash, back in 04-05, it was crap compared to Quickbooks as far as functionality, but it was more stable on lower end computers
[01:21] <AeSix> QuickBooks, I don't know about now, but was a terrible resource monitor.
[01:22] <AeSix> resource hog*
[01:22] <wombatguy> aesix: thanks, was kinda hoping for a more modern review though :)
[01:22] <werdna> hi!
[01:22] <_TexNick_> where is the menu file to change dual boot (win xp / maverick) options ?
[01:22] <AeSix> Yeah, I know. If you can compare QuickBooks from then and now though, and have a reasonable expectation of updatedness in gnucash...
[01:22] <trans> hello everyone
[01:23] <werdna> I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10, and I'm trying to get my screens to unmirror
[01:23] <AeSix> might be worth trying
[01:23] <werdna> I'm using the restricted driver.
[01:23] <_TexNick_> the grub menu file
[01:23] <somedude> does this "wubi" install create a bootable instance or you have to run it from inside windows?
[01:23] <arcnewuss> blackshirt not working...i still dont understand why the option model=delta66
[01:24] <trans> I downloaded modelsim trail version from their site, I have to instal it using the command ./install.linux, but showing error command not found
[01:24] <werdna> I can unmirror them in Preferences --> Monitors, but it tells me to log out and in again. Regardless of whether I log out and in again, if I go back into System --> Preferences --> Monitors, the settings have gone back to what they were (with the monitors mirrored)
[01:24] <moddy> niggers
[01:24] <trans> any idea how to install it
[01:24] <werdna> trans: are you in the correct directory?
[01:24] <werdna> type ls install.linux
[01:24] <fuzzybunny69y> hey guys for some reason my top gnome-panel keeps crashing and respawning and is causing every program I open to move up and down I have a feeling it probably has something to do with the Indicator global menu that I had put into the panel since I opened a java program and that is what seems to have caused the issue. Does anyone know how I can reset the gnome panel settings to their defaults?
[01:24] <trans> yes
[01:24] <xrdodrx> somedude, Wubi gives you the option of whether you want to boot into Ubuntu or Windows when you turn the computer on
[01:25] <trans> while installing nvidia.run also I got same error
[01:25] <xrdodrx> somedude, It does not need to be run from inside Windows
[01:25] <somedude> cool thanks
[01:25] <trans> werdna: ./ is  this command valid in ubuntu?
[01:25] <Axlin> fuzzybunny69y: $ gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
[01:26] <schnootop> has anything changed in the VPN settings for the new ubuntu. I cant seem to connect to a certain vpn but my windows 7 machine can
[01:26] <blackshirt> arcnewuss: you can read alsa documentation on linux kernel source... it contains some useful information
[01:26] <Dwade09> is jabber same as gmail ? for pidgin .
[01:26] <ZykoticK9> werdna, are you running nvidia?  (i cant see were you say your vid card? - i see the restricted driver part) - if it's nvidia - start the application with "gksu nvidia-settings" then after setting it up, use the Save to Xorg button.  good luck man.
[01:26] <xrdodrx> Dwade09, what do you mean?
[01:26] <riddlebox> does anyone know if I can import google reader feeds into banshee

[01:27] <Dwade09> xrdodrx,  a friend mine has a jabber account and i was wanting to know i use my gmail account to talk to him through jabber.org .
[01:27] <werdna> I'm not sure, I just unboxed the computer :)
[01:27] <ZykoticK9> werdna, ahh - sorry i can't help then.  best of luck.

[01:27] <riddlebox> xangua, but I already have them all in google reader
[01:28] <fuzzybunny69y> Axlin, yeah
[01:28] <trans> werdna I'm in the right directory, in the pdf they have mentioned use install.linux to install in linux
[01:28] <fuzzybunny69y> god this is so annoying
[01:28] <AeSix> If anyone knows how to get ubuntu to start the wireless network as soon as it's done booting up, can you please tell me?
[01:28] <werdna> well, ./X means "run X, where X is in the current directory"

[01:29] <cleverer> after upgrading to 10.10, gcc always fails with this message: selected multilib '.' not installed
[01:29] <Cityscape> What is the best Nvidia driver to install? I have one available in Hardware Drivers, should I use that one or get the manual install one from the Nvidia website?
[01:29] <xangua> AeSix: you can try !wicd, it loadt in boot
[01:29] <AeSix> !wicd
[01:29] <ZykoticK9> AeSix, i'd check if using wicd can be configured to come up after booting, or manual setup - which would be a pain
[01:29] <AeSix> th bot don't know abotu wicd :(
[01:30] <trans> werdna but I don't understand why it saying command not found
[01:30] <arcnewuss> 0 snd_hda_intel
[01:30] <arcnewuss> 1 snd_hda_intel
[01:30] <intrader> AeSix, in my 10.10, as soon as I sign in, the wireless default connection is made - it is the first action I see.
[01:30] <cleverer> but it works fine if I run it as gcc-4.4, which is what gcc symlinks to
[01:30] <AeSix> well the computer I'm trying to do this with will be headless :(
[01:30] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm trying to write the output of a ruby script to a log with ruby test.rb > file.txt 2>&1 &.  However, it is waiting until a certain number of lines are outputted before writing to the file.  how can i make output write to the file after every piece of output?
[01:30] <AeSix> and I'm not going to be using a GUI
[01:30] <ZykoticK9> trans, just FYI but using "./anything" means, in the current directory - run anything
[01:30] <werdna> I figured out my problem, it turns out I'm supposed to use the ATI control center
[01:30] <latenite> Hi folks, I build my custom kernel. Now I want to edit /boot/menu.lst BUT the file does not exist and /boot/grub/brub.cfg sais "do not edit me" WHAT fiel do I need to edit? thanks
[01:30] <AeSix> intrader, 10.04 does as well, but I need it to come up so I can log on remotely :)
[01:31] <werdna> trans: ls -l install.linux
[01:31] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 > latenite
[01:31] <arcnewuss> i dont understand why snd_ice1724 is not in there
[01:32] <intrader> AeSix, sorry, I don't know; but would like to know. If I find something I will post.
[01:32] <trans> werdna: it returned a msg
[01:33] <astoriakidd> Anyone have BackTrack 4 installed via VM?
[01:33] <arcnewuss> but snd_ice1724 is in lsmod
[01:33] <ZykoticK9> latenite, just to give some background - with grub2 you let grub2 search and find your kernel (i have never built a kernel on ubuntu, never found the need)
[01:33] <AeSix> Ok intrader, if I figure it out, I'll let the room know as well
[01:33] <arcnewuss> i am lost even more
[01:33] <astoriakidd> I can't seem to install the VMWare Tools on backtrack 4
[01:33] <xangua> !backtrack | astoriakidd
[01:33] <ZykoticK9> astoriakidd, neither of which are supported here.  VMWare or BT4
[01:34] <intrader> AeSix, thanks!

[01:34] <Cityscape> What is the best Nvidia driver to install? I have one available in Hardware Drivers, should I use that one or get the manual install one from the Nvidia website?
[01:35] <ZykoticK9> Cityscape, it will make your life a lot easier if you stick to the repo version!  i use the ubuntu nvidia for a long time - it's very current in 10.10, not so much in 10.04 anymore
[01:35] <latenite> ZykoticK9, thats alot of reading....all I need to kano iw what fiel to edit..." i want to script the process"

[01:36] <gueriLLaPunK> is there a WinRar equilivent for Fluxbox?
[01:36] <gueriLLaPunK> i would like to right click, extract here
[01:36] <gueriLLaPunK> like in Windows
[01:36] <ZykoticK9> latenite, sorry man - i don't know what you actually need to add a kernel?  never had to do that - but "sudo update-grub" finds my kernels.  the main grub2 config file i have to deal with is /etc/default/grub
[01:37] <AeSix> gueriLLaPunK - 7zip
[01:37] <gueriLLaPunK> apt-get install 7zip?
[01:37] <AeSix> I think so
[01:37] <phuzion> Does anyone know why cacti isn't working?  The poller is running every 5 minutes, but the graphs still look like this: http://imgur.com/uuIAz
[01:37] <ZykoticK9> latenite, also - if you update the config in any way you need to run "sudo update-grub" for the changes to take effect!
[01:37] <AeSix> I cheat, I use XFCE so I can do all the configuring for fluxbox, gueriLLaPunK
[01:38] <gueriLLaPunK> unable to locate package
[01:38] <AeSix> that gives me synaptics :)
[01:38] <AeSix> try 7z
[01:38] <gueriLLaPunK> k
[01:38] <AeSix> or 7-zip
[01:38] <ZykoticK9> gueriLLaPunK, p7zip-full
[01:38] <gueriLLaPunK> ok
[01:38] <Cityscape> ZykoticK9: I'm using 8.04. I tried both 10.04 & 10.10 and neither ran well on my system. 8.04 has a Nvidia driver for my legacy card available from "Hardware Drivers" in the System > Administration menu. Is this a good driver (for games and movies)? Or there is .run driver available fron the Nvidia site. What did you mean by repo version? What is my best option for a driver?
[01:38] <AeSix> oh ZykoticK9 has it :D
[01:38] <gueriLLaPunK> that worked, ZykoticK9
[01:38] <gueriLLaPunK> thank you
[01:38] <starredsteria> question... if I used these commands to install.... sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa      sudo apt-get update   sudo apt-get upgrade... what do I use to uninstall?
[01:38] <ZykoticK9> gueriLLaPunK, you can use "apt-cache search 7z" without sudo to search for stuff
[01:39] <gueriLLaPunK> AeSix, i wish i could do that
[01:39] <starredsteria> same cmd.. just 'uninstall'?
[01:39] <AeSix> why can't ya? >_<
[01:39] <latenite> ZykoticK9,update-grub tales for EVER http://pastie.org/1283309 why?
[01:39] <ZykoticK9> Cityscape, oh man - i have no idea where 8.04 support would be at anymore man -- that's pretty old for me.  best of luck though!
[01:40] <gueriLLaPunK> AeSix, i dont know ho
[01:40] <gueriLLaPunK> how*
[01:40] <FishFace> Cityscape: Repo version is what you get from automatically updating your system. If you install any other drivers from Nvidia then you are going to be on your own.
[01:40] <cjdevlin> starredsteria: http://www.kelpdesign.com/tech-talk/remove-apt-repository-in-karmic/
[01:40] <ZykoticK9> latenite, ? don't know but -- found gentoo -- kinda out of my expertise i'm affraid, you might have multiple grub versions on your system!
[01:41] <Ademan> anyone know how to pick the "correct" superblock backup from the `mke2fs -n` output?
[01:41] <Cityscape> ZykoticK9: Well 8.04 has a driver available from Hardware Drivers (10.04 + didn't), do you think it'll be good?
[01:41] <xangua> starredsteria: first you would need to install ppa-purge ; once it installed just run: sudo ppa-purge "ppa's name" (ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa in this case) to uninstall packages provided by this ppa or to reinstall the packages from the normal repository
[01:41] <ZykoticK9> Cityscape, i'd still go with the Ubuntu "Hardware Drivers" if i where you - it's doing to be old, but it should work!
[01:41] <intrader> Anyone, do any of you know how to fix 'NTLDR is compressed' error in Windows NT/Wubi installation?
[01:41] <gueriLLaPunK> ok i installed the package, but how do i run the app? i dont see it in the context menu when i right click on an archive, ZykoticK9
[01:41] <FishFace> Cityscape: And you ask about games. Sounds like you have an older PC if you couldn't run 10.xx vey well. So you 'have what you have' and that is about it.
[01:42] <settntrenz> Anyone know of a way to remove duplicates messages in evolution 2.30? I've recently upgraded to maverick and with that comes the new evolution with new api that breaks the old remove-duplicate-plugin.
[01:42] <latenite> ZykoticK9, no there is an old chroot gentoo laying arount... BUT its done now and DID NOT find "bzImage_0" Which is THERE see my paste http://pastie.org/1283313
[01:42] <starredsteria> xangua: thx... so just run sudo apt-get install ppa-purge?
[01:42] <intrader> I made the mistake to compress the C: drive! :(
[01:42] <latenite> ZykoticK9, what file hold the parameters for grub2?
[01:42] <ZykoticK9> Cityscape, 7zip is a command line program, but i think the default gnome compression util will probably support 7zip stuff for you now (i could be wrong)
[01:42] <xangua> starredsteria: if is not installed, yes
[01:43] <ZykoticK9> latenite, ? see !grub2 link man - that's my reference for all grub2 stuff.
[01:43] <starredsteria> xangua: cool beans
[01:43] <Cityscape> FishFace: would the repo driver be the one I'm seeing in "Hardware Drivers". Do think that driver would be good? I don't care too much about games, i just want a good driver.
[01:43] <dogarrhea1> i have a ubuntu box with linode.  I followed the poor documentation at openvpn for setting up the server.  i connect with a windows GUI client and get "machine actively refused the connection".

[01:44] <fuzzybunny69y> Hey guys for some reason my gnome-panel keeps crashing and respawning. I am not sure how to get it to stop and it keeps shifting all the windows I open up and down. I have tried killall gnome-panel and it still keeps crashing and respawning.
[01:44] <FishFace> Cityscape: You will get the best working one that not a lot of people have a problem with if you go with Hardware Drivers
[01:44] <latenite> ZykoticK9, No manual entry for grub2 *cry*
[01:44] <FishFace> Cityscape: I gotta go to work. Good luck with that :)
[01:44] <xangua> !panels | fuzzybunny69y tried restore the default config¿

[01:45] <v_v> help
[01:45] <maco> latenite: also, "man -k grub" is your friend
[01:46] <w1n5ton> What is it v_v
[01:46] <smw> v_v, just ask a question
[01:46] <intrader> I have seen instruction to execute `attrib -c ntldr` while in the recovery console; however, I don't have the NT CD.
[01:46] <ZykoticK9> latenite, your last pastebin was an icon of a clipboard dude (not what you intended i'm sure)  -- but i have Zero experience with compiling kernels (in Ubuntu).  be sure to see the !kernel stuff.  but grub2 is VERY different from legacy-grub in how it works, is configured.  some grub-script might have to be pointed to where your kernel exists (i'm just speculating here!).  Good luck man.  Did you have a reason to compile your own kernel?  Seems l
[01:46] <ZykoticK9> ike such a huge hassle.

[01:49] <electrofreak> I've realized a problem with the powernowd and Phenom II's dynamic clocking. For example... if I download mprime and run 4 stresses from the program, my CPU usage will go to 100%, but the clocks of all the cores is 800MHz except for 1, which is at 3.2GHz. This was also a problem when doing multithreaded converting with ffmpeg.

[02:02] <cannonfodder> but not the wildcard*
[02:02] <plaque> ZykoticK9, Detect Displays doesn't show my monitor

[02:02] <ZykoticK9> plaque, can you set resolution?
[02:03] <plaque> ZykoticK9, I can change it but it only lists resolutions 600x480 or lower
[02:03] <smw> cannonfodder, netcat is a general tool that is great for scripting, not scanning. nmap is a scanner

[02:07] <ZykoticK9> sacarlson, VBox-OSE (in ubuntu repo) doesn't support USB devices FYI - you need the version from Oracle for that.
[02:07] <smw> cannonfodder, read a tutorial. I can not completely teach you how to use the tool.
[02:07] <plaque> ZykoticK9, nope still low resolutions only
[02:07] <fuzzybunny69y> hey guys for some reason my gnome-panel keeps crashing and restarting and keeps shifting windows that I have open up and down as they reaccomodate for the crashing/respwaning gnome-panel. Prior to this I had the indicator global menu applet enabled and I opened a java program(freemind) and then this problem started happening. If I go into the terminal and type sudo gnome-panel --replace a new top and bottom panel gets created
[02:07] <fuzzybunny69y> but in the window list I can still see a "starting panel" program opening and closing constantly. Does anyone know how I cold fix this?
[02:07] <Weapon_X> anyone know how to upgrade rythmbox in 10.04 to the 10.10 version
[02:08] <plaque> ZykoticK9, this is really strange because it worked fine for months and I didn't mess with any X stuff
[02:08] <smw> cannonfodder, chat rooms like this are a great place to get a push in the right direction.
[02:08] <Quagmire> Hello Guys, I updated from 9.04 to 10.04 today and now I'm missing some plugins. What is the best pack to DL and install?
[02:08] <sacarlson> ZykoticK9: I have the vbox version direct from sun.  does that support printer?  zykotick9  oh and it does work for usb since it works with my usb wifi device
[02:08] <plaque> ZykoticK9, Just rebooted one day and can't get any resolutions higher than 600x480 :(
[02:09] <ZykoticK9> plaque, are you using the Recommended nvidia driver in Hardware Drivers?  You might also want to try one of the other Nvidia drivers options in there, if there are some available.
[02:09] <plaque> ZykoticK9, yes I'm using whichever one was recommended when I installed Ubuntu
[02:09] <xangua> Quagmire: by updating from 9.04 to 10.04 you mean clean install or did you forced update from 9.04 to 10.04 by modifying repositories and replacing all "jaunty" by "lucid" ¿¿
[02:10] <xangua> Quagmire: if it was the second, bad idea
[02:10] <cannonfodder> smw im a bit lost...all i really want is something that will scan my wlan for ips lol
[02:10] <Quagmire> Nope it was a fresh install
[02:10] <plaque> ZykoticK9, It's called nvidia-current I think it's the only one out tehre
[02:10] <hormiga> Why is Ubuntu not detecting the PCI wifi card?
[02:10] <aurilliance> I can't start my newly installed 10.10 netbook up any more - I can log in using recovery mode, but when I type startx, I just get a black screen. Help Appreciated thanks.
[02:10] <ZykoticK9> sacarlson, usb wireless in vbox - why?  but ya, sun doesn't exist anymore - oracle took them over.  but i think you have the right version.  best of luck - you can always ask in #vbox if your question isn't answered here.
[02:10] <smw> cannonfodder, nmapfe should be self explanatory
[02:11] <ZykoticK9> plaque, you only see one option in Hardware Drivers?
[02:11] <Weapon_X> can you upgrade rythmbox
[02:11] <Weapon_X> does anyone know
[02:11] <cannonfodder> smw ill use it more in the terminal to see if i can get used to it lol
[02:11] <plaque> ZykoticK9, that's right
[02:11] <humanMeat> hrm. port 443 on my computer is not accepting ssl. how do i make it do so?
[02:11] <hormiga> anyone?
[02:11] <cannonfodder> i remember when i thought aircrack-ng was a pain to use
[02:11] <abstrakt> Weapon_X, well you can upgrade anything
[02:11] <ZykoticK9> plaque, what sort of monitor are you using?
[02:11] <plaque> ZykoticK9, nvidia_current is the only option I see.
[02:12] <abstrakt> Weapon_X, at the very least, you can always uninstall rhythmbox from the package manager, and then custom compile the latest version
[02:12] <Weapon_X> HOw do you do it then
[02:12] <plaque> ZykoticK9, it's an Acer LCD display.  It found it just fine before
[02:12] <tawrtoise> Right now I have Vista installed on a 217gb partition and Ubuntu 10.04 installed on a 30gb partition. I want to reinstall ubuntu but still have vista on the same partition, what's the best way to do this?
[02:12] <hormiga> Hello, how do I make py PC detect my WIFI card? I have nothing in iwconfig
[02:12] <plaque> ZykoticK9, When I first installed Ubuntu it had the correct monitor and model number
[02:12] <Weapon_X> ahh never though of that
[02:12] <sacarlson> zykotick9 yes correct I got it from oracle.  I used the wifi device just to see if the usb device could be seen.  It was the only other wifi device I had to test usb with and it seems to work fine.
[02:12] <Quagmire> Ok, we know it's a fresh install.... know what pack should I install to get my plugins working?
[02:12] <ZykoticK9> plaque, i'm sorry - i don't have any other suggestions.
[02:12] <Weapon_X> but I wanted it to be an auto update
[02:12] <ZykoticK9> !tab > sacarlson
[02:13] <plaque> ZykoticK9, ok thanks for trying
[02:13] <humanMeat> god i hate open soruce support lol
[02:13] <humanMeat> becuase there is none. so i guess i hate nothing
[02:13] <ZykoticK9> sacarlson, does VBox show a printer icon in the bottom or anything to connect it to the guest?
[02:13] <sacarlson> ZykoticK9: ya cool tab forgot that one
[02:13] <plaque> I dunnow why my monitor just stopped working its so hard to see in this resoluiont
[02:14] <Chaos2358> everytime i try to make an online video i.e. hulu, youtube, fancast, etc fullscreen the video freezes yet the audio continues. when i exit fullscreen mode the video catches up to the audio though. i am using ubuntu 10.10 upgraded and didnt have this problem before upgrade. any help?
[02:14] <sacarlson> ZykoticK9: yes it does and I have given it access to it in vbox.  but I do a lsusb in my vbox ubuntu and see no sign of it
[02:14] <hormiga> Can someone tell me how to make Ubuntu detect my PCI wifi card?
[02:15] <sacarlson> ZykoticK9: oh and that is in the vbox setup that I see the printer not inside the guest
[02:15] <ZykoticK9> sacarlson, is the usb printer detected ok by the host os?  (if the host linux?)
[02:16] <avatar88> hola
[02:16] <avatar88> alguien habla español
[02:16] <avatar88> ???
[02:16] <ZykoticK9> !es | avatar88
[02:16] <hormiga> Yo hablo español, pero soy igual de nuevo
[02:16] <Felipee> si
[02:16] <sacarlson> ZykoticK9: yes the host see's it but fails to print on the printer without errors.  it can see the usb device in lsusb ok also.  the host is ubuntu 10.04
[02:16] <avatar88> de donde eres hormiga?
[02:17] <hormiga> MX
[02:17] <rusivi> hormiga: PCI wifi cards should be automatically detected and usable. What is your computer mfg/model, and PCI wifi card mfg/model?
[02:17] <hormiga> Does anyone know here how to make Ubuntu detect my PCI wifi card?
[02:18] <ZykoticK9> sacarlson, in that case, it seems like it's mainly a VBox issue then?  sorry, i don't have VBox installed right now on this install.  you can try #vbox if no one else here knows.  good luck!
[02:18] <n0lan> ello
[02:18] <hormiga> rusivi: my PCI wifi card is an Intellnet 500517, and for som reason it wont detect it
[02:18] <hiexpo> hmm
[02:18] <sacarlson> ZykoticK9: what I had planed to do is run windows xp in vbox that could display what error the printer was giving.  the driver for ubuntu won't say what the problem is.   I think it's a canon driver issue that causes the problem
[02:19] <n0lan> hormiga: have you been to System > Admin > Hardware Drivers?
[02:20] <aurilliance> Is there some way to force X to use basic configuration / lower resoltions / simple drivers? I can't get past "startx" when booting up - it just goes to a black screen.
[02:20] <ZykoticK9> sacarlson, ok with that info perhaps it's a printer issue ;)  best of luck man (i hate printer for troubleshooting, so i really feel your pain)
[02:20] <hormiga> n0lan: I can't, I have no internet signal in my WIFI
[02:20] <n0lan> hormiga: is there any way you can get a LAN connection?
[02:20] <sacarlson> ZykoticK9:  ya me to printers suck.  Thanks for your feedback
[02:22] <hormiga> n0lan, nope, my eth0 does not work, It is kind of strange, it was working fine a few days ago, It all started since the reinstallation of 10.04 a few hours ago, it did not detect my wifi
[02:23] <hormiga> n0lan, lspci | grep network only shows me the ethernet from the motherboard - wich does not work -
[02:23] <aurilliance> Is there some way to force X to use basic configuration / lower resoltions / simple drivers? I can't get past "startx" when booting up - it just goes to a black screen.
[02:24] <n0lan> hormiga: well, you're online now....you got a flash drive? I found your driver
[02:24] <hormiga> n0lan,  nope, I am in another PC, is a pink netbook
[02:24] <n0lan> hormiga: well heres the driver http://www.intellinet-network.com/downloads/4120-2008_0723_RT61_Linux_STA_v1_1_2_2_tar.bz2
[02:24] <hormiga> n0lan, So, it is about drivers?
[02:25] <n0lan> i'd assume so?
[02:25] <tawrtoise> If I wanted to reinstall ubuntu, but have vista on another partition, would the best option be to delete the partition that ubuntu is currently on and install it in that free space?
[02:26] <aeMaeth> im not sure why you couldn't just tell it to use the ubuntu space again, it'll format it anyway afaik
[02:26] <tawrtoise> I don't know, but it's not an option :/
[02:27] <jparks> Could someone point me to information regarding the differences between virtualization with kvm vs openvz
[02:27] <shawbroth> what are some of the advantages to using ubuntu  vs windows or mac?
[02:27] <aeMaeth> i'm not sure any have the upper hand at the moment
[02:27] <jparks> shawbroth, ubuntu is free and no viruses
[02:27] <xangua> shawbroth: try it and see yourself ubuntu.com
[02:28] <_AR_> im going to start coding ubuntu viruses asap
[02:28] <_AR_> this winter probably
[02:28] <jparks> be a long cold winter
[02:28] <_AR_> ill distribute them in the spring
[02:28] <aeMaeth> _AR_, there is a list of popular worms in wikipedia
[02:28] <n0lan> unless people are on r00t, good luck with that _AR_
[02:28] <R1cochet> i just got a new wireless adapter pci card for my desktop. I already have an old one installed and will be swapping them. Do i need to remove the old drivers before i swap the cards?
[02:28] <tensorpudding> Ubuntu works "well enough" so that you might not be totally frustrated using it as a newbie, at least until you get familiar enough with it that you will be able to fix problems with #ubuntu's help
[02:28] <aeMaeth> really, if you're smart, go for a flash virus of some sort, apparently that's the honeypot
[02:28] <_AR_> it will just eat their ubuntus like acid
[02:29] <shawbroth> we'll ive installed it and am now using 10.04
[02:29] <Chaos2358> everytime i try to make an online video i.e. hulu, youtube, fancast, etc fullscreen the video freezes yet the audio continues. when i exit fullscreen mode the video catches up to the audio though. i am using ubuntu 10.10 upgraded and didnt have this problem before upgrade. any help?
[02:29] <jparks> i personally remove sudo and stick to su -c
[02:29] <jparks> heh
[02:30] <_AR_> btw in case anyone was wondering, i figured out what the problem was i was having while installing 10.10
[02:30] <tawrtoise> All I can do is either, install it "side by side" which gives me two ubuntu's, or do a complete reinstall, wiping out vista.
[02:30] <tawrtoise> or there was an advanced option, but I have no idea how to do that
[02:30] <tawrtoise> could someone confirm that deleting my ubuntu partition is a good idea? I'm pretty sure nothing will go wrong but I just want to hear someone that actually knows what they're talking about say it.
[02:30] <FloodBot2> tawrtoise: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:30] <_AR_> i was installing from CD and it always froze up on a Purple screen or menu
[02:30] <AbhiJit> shawbroth, wait
[02:30] <jparks> until i'm bothered enough to figure out how to turn off su and passwd from being used by sudo =/
[02:30] <_AR_> so i installed from USB and it worked fine
[02:30] <shawbroth> i really want to get in depth with the OS, because so far its similar to Windows
[02:31] <humanMeat> anyone know what TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
[02:31] <humanMeat>  means?
[02:31] <blackshirt> tawrtoise: what you mean ?? you want reinstall your ubuntu or install another system ?
[02:31] <_AR_> shawbroth, install archlinux
[02:31] <shawbroth> it terms of hot keys and applications
[02:32] <blackshirt> humanMeat: your network configured correctly ?
[02:32] <shawbroth> AR ?archlinux
[02:32] <tensorpudding> shawbroth: what do you mean by "like Windows"?
[02:33] <tensorpudding> or rather, in what sense do you wish it was not like Windows, and what would you rather it be?
[02:33] <tawrtoise> blackshirt, I want to reinstall ubuntu
[02:33] <_AR_> tensorpudding, i would rather it be more like ms dos
[02:33] <blackshirt> tawrtoise : just reinstall it, you will get fresh system
[02:33] <shawbroth> context menus, hot keys, pinups
[02:33] <tawrtoise> blackshirt, I know, but I don't want a fresh system. I have files and such on a separate partition that I want to keep.
[02:33] <_AR_> brb installing ms dos over my ubuntu partition
[02:33] <AbhiJit> shawbroth, read it carefully http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
[02:34] <tensorpudding> _AR_: you'd rather it were ancient, idiosyncratic and had almost no hardware support?
[02:34] <xrdodrx> I think _AR_ is trolling, tensorpudding
[02:34] <Quagmire> Guys I'
[02:34] <_AR_> i can run almost any serial interface application through dos
[02:34] <blackshirt> tawrtoise: you can install it on other partitions
[02:35] <shawbroth> thx
[02:35] <Quagmire> I DL'ed the medibuntu repositories, but I still an looking for the best pack of plugins to install in 10.04
[02:35] <tensorpudding> Linux has serial device support, of course. It's just less often touched because few devices nowadays even have serial ports, much less use them.
[02:35] <AbhiJit> shawbroth, do not try archlinux in first place. first either try ubuntu,fedora,opensuse or mandriva then if you wish go for arch,gentoo etc
[02:35] <Descriptioned> with what command i see my hardware information from terminal ?
[02:35] <xrdodrx> Descriptioned, lshw
[02:35] <shawbroth> thx for the advice
[02:36] <blackshirt> Abhijit: it's not sound good.. feel free to choose, use at your own risk..
[02:36] <rusivi> hormiga: As per Intellinet's website they do accept end-user technical support requests, may want to engage them about this -> http://www.intellinet-network.com/en-US/contact-support
[02:36] <tensorpudding> The hotkey similarities between Ubuntu and Windows, where they exist (they're not universal) are intentional, and having them be the same is supposed to be helpful
[02:36] <shawbroth> I need a IDE for python and java
[02:36] <tensorpudding> Eclipse is the common choice for Java development.
[02:36] <AbhiJit> !manual | shawbroth
[02:36] <tensorpudding> It has a plugin for Python, more likely than not.
[02:37] <Descriptioned> xrdodrx: this dont give complete info i think..
[02:37] <hormiga> rusivi, try that, it didn't worked, thx anyway
[02:37] <Quagmire> Dang guys, Isn't there something like a Glib pack or something like that?
[02:38] <rusivi> hormiga: You contacted them and what did they say?
[02:39] <_AR_> please compare ubuntu to ms dos for me and why should i install ubuntu
[02:39] <nero> say, I am trying to get a diskless boot working, following the info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto (I am using 10.10).  Everything works until step 3 under creating your NFS installation.  Any idea what might have changed?  When I try to copy the files to
[02:39] <hormiga> rusivi, nothing
[02:39] <nero> the nfs directory, I get all kinds of errors stating that the permissions could not be preserved.
[02:40] <_AR_> is ubuntu better than ms dos
[02:40] <hormiga> rusivi, They did not even answer me
[02:40] <Chaos2358> anyone know of an application to control fan speed that doesnt uses a window based ui instead of terminal?

[02:42] <AbhiJit> ahhh

[02:42] <AeSix> someone's got to know something abotu wireless networkign on headless boxes?
[02:43] <Chaos2358> AbhiJit, no i can handle the terminal but my wife cannot and she uses the computer alot needing something a little more user friendly like an icon to click and select fan speed so she doesnt burn my system up
[02:43] <AbhiJit> yah
[02:43] <smw> AeSix, yep
[02:44] <smw> AeSix, I did not see the question
[02:44] <AeSix> and not one of them is here, are they?
[02:44] <smw> AeSix, do I count?

[02:44] <AeSix> I don't know, can you help me?
[02:44] <AeSix> LOL
[02:44] <sacarlson> I got my canon printer to work by holding line feed for 10 secounds to override the ink cartridge empty condition.  The canon driver doesn't tell you what the problem is so I just had to guess and got lucky.
[02:45] <smw> AeSix, as I already asked, what is the question?
[02:45] <smw> AeSix, I missed it
[02:45] <AeSix> Oh
[02:45] <AeSix> I misread what you asked
[02:45] <AeSix> thought you said you DID see it
[02:45] <AeSix> anyways, am trying to get ubuntu 10.04 to start wireless networking on power-up
[02:45] <AeSix> it's going to be a headless box if/when I ever get the thing configured :S
[02:45] <mickster04> hey how do I change the permissions automaitcally assigned to a newly mounted usb partition, I can change the folders permissions when it's mounted either, how do i do that?
[02:46] <sacarlson> so now I find the printer has no color but can print in black and white so how do you get gimp to convert color to just gray scale so I can print this?
[02:46] <AeSix> I'm not messing around with wireless security or any of that crap, just a plain, simple, connect to the router and let me log in remotely
[02:46] <shawbroth> considering creating a podcast for installing and the administration-with ubuntu

[02:47] <AeSix> smw no, I need it to be online so I can log in
[02:47] <smw> AeSix, ok, so pretty much, you want to connect to a certain wireless network automatically on a headless server?
[02:47] <AeSix> yeah
[02:47] <AeSix> thought I mentioned it's headless?
[02:48] <AeSix> maybe not, have gone over what I need lots tonight :(
[02:48] <AeSix> I've found forum posts and instructions and nothing seems to work, even the "fixes" for the aformentioned posts.

[02:49] <AeSix> apperantly I can write the commands to /etc/rc.local smw - but, I don't know what commands :(
[02:49] <smw> AeSix, you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and change the essid of the wireless card. I do not know the exact thing to write though :-\. Let me google for a few minutes

[02:53] <wasabi> I just had something nasty happen. fsck detected a NTFS partition as ext2, and tried to fix it.
[02:53] <wasabi> Ran e2fsck. I was running stuff with -f -y, so it actually 'fixed' the superblock
[02:53] <AeSix> OMG LOL wasabi
[02:53] <smw> AeSix, sudo iwconfig <iface> essid <name>
[02:53] <wasabi> Among other things. Before I caught it.
[02:53] <smw> AeSix, sudo dhclient <iface>
[02:53] <wasabi> What the heck is that? There's no ext superblock on it.
[02:53] <wasabi> Why would it ever try to do that?
[02:53] <AeSix> no go smw
[02:54] <xrdodrx> AeSix, I don't see how that's funny :/
[02:54] <smw> AeSix, those are the manual commands. But fore more permanent we need to add stuff to interfaces
[02:54] <smw> AeSix, why nogo?
[02:54] <AeSix> it's funny cause I'm not the only one having horrible problems xrdodrx :(
[02:54] <AeSix> wait wait smw
[02:54] <AeSix> I think I missed the dhclient
[02:54] <xrdodrx> AeSix, ah, I see, misery loves company
[02:55] <AeSix> indeed.
[02:55] <smw> AeSix, the first tells where to connect. The second fetches an IP
[02:55] <AeSix> no DHCPOFFEERS received :S
[02:56] <AeSix> :S
[02:56] <smw> AeSix, I found this: http://codepad.org/ZcPruj5S
[02:56] <smw> AeSix, pastebin the output of iwconfig and ifconfig
[02:57] <smw> AeSix, and what were the exact commands you used
[02:57] <AeSix> can I get away with just the top three lines, smw?
[02:57] <smw> AeSix, top 3 lines of what?
[02:57] <AeSix> I don't have a key, the channel changes, and I guess I could leave managed
[02:57] <smw> AeSix, oh, you can't cp and paste XD
[02:57] <AeSix> what you just poasted
[02:57] <AeSix> no I know
[02:57] <smw> AeSix, ah, you can leave those out
[02:58] <AeSix> ok
[02:58] <AeSix> I've got the top two lines though
[02:58] <AeSix> I think
[02:58] <smw> AeSix, just use the top 3 lines, restart, and tell me if it works
[02:58] <AeSix> let me double check
[02:58] <smw> AeSix, that is for /etc/network/interfaces btw
[02:58] <flowbee> is there a good tool for directory diff?  i.e. comparing a set of files in a directory to antoher?
[02:58] <askhader> What package contains the guile-config command on ubuntu?
[02:59] <AeSix> I've got the top two lines identical already, adding third and restarting
[02:59] <smw> askhader, just type it in. ubuntu will tell you
[02:59] <smw> askhader, if a command is not installed, it tells you where to find it
[02:59] <askhader> Thanks
[03:00] <AeSix> damnit I love how fast this thing restarts.
[03:00] <CheBuzz_Home> On 10.04, my bluetooth dongle used to automatically reconnect to my headset.  Now in 10.10, I have to put the headset into discovery and repair them every time I turn it off/on.  Anybody know why?
[03:00] <humanMeat> hrm openvpn on ubuntu is hopeless
[03:00] <humanMeat> and stupid
[03:01] <smw> humanMeat, why is it hopeless?
[03:01] <smw> AeSix, and the results?
[03:01] <AeSix> nodda
[03:01] <AeSix> :(
[03:01] <imannimozas> hi
[03:01] <voss749> chebuzz, thats not a flaw thats a feature lol!
[03:01] <AeSix> that goes in /etc/networks/interfaces right?
[03:01] <smw> AeSix, yeah
[03:01] <AeSix> ok, question
[03:01] <imannimozas> wow this system is very complicated im a new user to this like where does all the games like i have Halo ce on here
[03:02] <AeSix> what maps eth1 to wlan0?
[03:02] <humanMeat> worthless incorrect documentation, no support, overwhelming complexity, poor debugging/diagnostic tools, useless installation instructions (modify hundreds of .conf with situational settings), no support, no support, no support, no support, no support
[03:02] <CheBuzz_Home> voss749: That seems more like a regression than a feature.
[03:02] <smw> AeSix, huh?
[03:02] <smw> AeSix, can you please pastebin ifconfig and iwconfig?
[03:02] <AeSix> ok, do I need to replace wlan0 with eth1?
[03:02] <humanMeat> btw i'm trying to install this on a box i'm renting at linode and trying to install the client on windows
[03:02] <AeSix> o-0 I can try LOL
[03:02] <smw> AeSix, wait
[03:03] <smw> do iwlist scanning
[03:03] <humanMeat> smw, does that answer your question?
[03:03] <AeSix> it scans using eth1
[03:03] <AeSix> it found the router
[03:03] <smw> AeSix, ok, change everything to eth1!
[03:03] <AeSix> but I'm stupid or something cause I can't even manually connect it :(
[03:03] <AeSix> LOL ok
[03:03] <smw> humanMeat, I did not see it, you did not highlight me
[03:03] <humanMeat> smw worthless incorrect documentation, no support, overwhelming complexity, poor debugging/diagnostic tools, useless installation instructions (modify hundreds of .conf with situational settings), no support, no support, no support, no support, no support
[03:04] <tlab> I'm having a hard time adding a screen resolution for 10.10 in vmware
[03:04] <humanMeat> i mind as well go out and use a metal detector and look for buried treasure if i'm going to get any value from open source software lol
[03:05] <smw> humanMeat, It took me months when I was 13 or 14 to get it. It is how I learned about encryption, networking, and routing :-)
[03:05] <AeSix> rebooring again smw
[03:05] <humanMeat> smw
[03:05] <smw> humanMeat, lol
[03:05] <smw> humanMeat, yes?
[03:05] <humanMeat> the problem is not the concept
[03:05] <AeSix> heh, when I was 13 or 14, 10baseT wasn't even widely available
[03:05] <mickster04> hey how do I change the permissions automaitcally assigned to a newly mounted usb partition, I can change the folders permissions when it's mounted either, how do i do that?
[03:05] <humanMeat> i get errors from clients trying to connect on port 443
[03:05] <humanMeat> openvpn clients
[03:05] <humanMeat> why the hell would an app try to connect on 443 instead of 1194
[03:06] <humanMeat> and then there's the problem of old versions which the site does not tell u is old
[03:06] <AeSix> ugh
[03:06] <AeSix> I b0rk it :(
[03:06] <humanMeat> and does nto work with windows because of windows drivers
[03:06] <smw> humanMeat, I have no idea. I use it. It can work :-)
[03:06] <CheBuzz_Home> Anybody else?   Original question "On 10.04, my bluetooth dongle used to automatically reconnect to my headset.  Now in 10.10, I have to put the headset into discovery and repair them every time I turn it off/on.  Anybody know why?"
[03:06] <voss749> humanmeat, port 443 is standard for https:// connections
[03:07] <humanMeat> vosss749 why would a vpn client use that port?
[03:07] <humanMeat> or try to connect to that one by default
[03:07] <voss749> humanmeat for a secure connection?
[03:07] <smw> AeSix, please use my name when you talk to me
[03:07] <humanMeat> isn't 1194 the thing used by openvpn?
[03:07] <humanMeat> i mean.. the client for the openvpn server trying to connect on 443 when the server setup instructions specifically say 1194
[03:07] <humanMeat> come on
[03:07] <smw> AeSix, are you able to pastebin stuff?
[03:08] <aidrocsid> So I'm able to see wireless routers using WICD with my wifi, but I can't connect to them. It's some broadcomm something or other using the drivers ubuntu picked by default. Any suggestions?
[03:08] <smw> AeSix, I have a large wishlist of stuff I want pastebined
[03:08] <aidrocsid> There seems to be a problem with DHCP
[03:08] <voss749> humanmeat, then you already know your answer
[03:09] <AeSix> smw I changed etc/network/interfaces to eth1 and restarted, it's still not doing. Give me a minute and I'll pastebin ifconfig and iwconfig
[03:09] <humanMeat> the answer is : open source is useless because the applciations spawned from open source projects are useless?
[03:09] <humanMeat> and don't let you configure the client to connect to something other than 443 :(
[03:09] <voss749> humanmeat, you mean apache is worthless, openoffice is worthless, mysql is worthless???
[03:10] <humanMeat> pretty much
[03:10] <humanMeat> openoffice is shit
[03:10] <mickster04> !ohmy
[03:10] <CheBuzz_Home> So is MS Office :)
[03:10] <humanMeat> mysql isn't used for anything you want to scale
[03:10] <brady> Does ubuntu server install X and desktop environment?
[03:10] <mickster04> humanMeat: going a bit far there, opensource wins
[03:10] <mao> no
[03:10] <car|0s> can someone help? im testing ubuntu 10.10 and network manager wont let me connect using a 3g modem. syslog says: the serial port is not open
[03:11] <brady> mao, to me?
[03:11] <humanMeat> really... mysql is betting you'll fail with yoru website lol
[03:11] <smw> AeSix, also pastebining the output of iwconfig eth1 essid <name>; iwconfig; dhclient eth1; ifconfig would help.
[03:11] <humanMeat> no enterprise uses mysql it's kiddy stuff
[03:11] <mickster04> brady: no, if youwant a server with a desktop enviroment, i would almost recommend using normal ubuntu then installing lamp
[03:11] <humanMeat> not even posgres
[03:11] <voss749> So if open source is such garbage, why is Mac OS/X based on a bsd open source core....
[03:11] <IdleOne> humanMeat: Do you have an Ubuntu support question or just want to rant?
[03:11] <brady> Ok, thanks.
[03:11] <CheBuzz_Home> Don't feed the troll...
[03:11] <humanMeat> voss said i had the answer lol
[03:11] <humanMeat> to my own question
[03:12] <mao> brady, yes
[03:12] <smw> humanMeat, mysql is only for kiddy stuff?
[03:12] <humanMeat> not enterprise level
[03:12] <IdleOne> humanMeat: Do you have an Ubuntu support question or just want to rant?
[03:12] <humanMeat> I did have one.
[03:13] <humanMeat> but i don't think it'll be diagnosed
[03:13] <aegis> I'm back
[03:13] <IdleOne> humanMeat: Can you please stick to ubuntu support. If you feel like ranting I suggest starting a blog.
[03:13] <brady> rant > /dev/null
[03:14] <fuzzybunny69y> hey guys for some reason my gnome-panel keeps crashing and restarting and keeps shifting windows that I have open up and down as they reaccomodate for the crashing/respwaning gnome-panel. Prior to this I had the indicator global menu applet enabled and I opened a java program(freemind) and then this problem started happening. If I go into the terminal and type sudo gnome-panel --replace a new top and bottom panel gets created
[03:14] <fuzzybunny69y> but in the window list I can still see a "starting panel" program opening and closing constantly. Does anyone know how I cold fix this?
[03:14] <zenstruck> exit
[03:14] <IdleOne> fuzzybunny69y: kill freemind and see if the problem persists
[03:15] <mao> fuzzybunny69y, that's odd
[03:15] <AeSix> btw, smw I'm having to type this in by hand since a) that box won't go online, and b) it's got a GUI, but I'm not using it
[03:15] <smw> AeSix, ok...
[03:15] <voss749> mysql, that $1 billion kiddie project...right
[03:16] <smw> AeSix, you can pipe it to a file and move it a thumbdrive
[03:16] <smw> voss749, nah, it is oracles kiddy db
[03:16] <x00z> How to I restore previous systems settings? I was updating my netbook and half way through it shut off... Now when I boot up at the login the mouse or keyboard dont work.  Can anyone help me?
[03:16] <humanMeat> voss, look at the company who bought it at that price point rofl
[03:16] <voss749> smw, oracle is as evil as they come but they know good software
[03:16] <Monotoko> IPv6 seems to have vanished from my server...anyone help with why? :S
[03:17] <smw> voss749, oh, and walmart and sears are not big companies
[03:17] <smw> voss749, true
[03:17] <humanMeat> sun is dead. Java is dead (oh my open source) and James Gosling is unemployed
[03:17] <smw> voss749, they like to turn good software into overpriced software
[03:18] <smw> humanMeat, of course sun is dead...
[03:18] <AeSix> I could, smw, if I had a thumb drive :(
[03:18] <smw> humanMeat, anyways, join offtopic
[03:18] <sabat_> Oracle knows how to make awesome products on minimal hardware req's, but they seem to know a lot more about adding 0's to prices.
[03:18] <fuzzybunny69y> IdleOne, yeah I tried that and I restarted as well and it still keeps crashing and respwaning and shifting every program that I have maximized
[03:18] <AeSix> anyways, gimme another moment
[03:18] <Monotoko> IPv6 seems to have vanished from my server...anyone help with why? :S
[03:18] <n0lan> sun isn't dead
[03:18] <Monotoko> ifconfig isn't showing anything
[03:18] <humanMeat> oh god
[03:18] <IdleOne> !ot
[03:19] <mao> got it
[03:19] <Monotoko> ......
[03:19] <humanMeat> how far does support go..
[03:19] <humanMeat> do you support apps that run on ubuntu?
[03:20] <IdleOne> Ubuntu related/apps in the repos
[03:20] <Monotoko> root@chatify:/etc/modprobe.d# modprobe ipv6
[03:20] <Monotoko> FATAL: Module ipv6 not found.
[03:20] <mickster04> hey, I can't use compiz effects, but I want to set up that I can scroll around to the 1st desktop when i scroll off the last, I have ccsm installed but not sure it will effect...
[03:20] <mickster04> humanMeat: not really
[03:20] <mickster04> humanMeat: but people may no tips/tricks to get some software working with ubuntu? it depeds what the problem is
[03:21] <blackshirt> Monotoko: cat /proc/net/if_inet6 ??
[03:21] <smw> humanMeat, you are allowed to ask questions on software in the repos, but you may find more help on some of them elsewhere.
[03:21] <humanMeat> haha
[03:21] <humanMeat> openvpn is a no community, community project
[03:21] <Monotoko> blackshirt, hi again :) and no such file/directory
[03:22] <Monotoko> strange thing is...it WAS all here
[03:22] <aidrocsid> so um, i'm trying to install bcm43xx-fwcutter but it no longer exists
[03:22] <aidrocsid> suggestions?
[03:24] <smw> aidrocsid, use jockey (anyone know what it is called in the menus?)
[03:24] <smw> aidrocsid, in the commandline, there is probably a command like jockey or jockey-gtk
[03:24] <syrjun> need help with transmission
[03:24] <AeSix> smw: http://aesix.pastebin.com/B0UUei54
[03:24] <AeSix> all three
[03:25] <aidrocsid> i found the fwcutter
[03:25] <aidrocsid> it's already installed
[03:25] <aidrocsid> i just need to extract the firmware from my driver i think
[03:25] <syrjun> it has an error
[03:26] <smw> AeSix, try sudo iwconfig eth1 essid <whatever>. Does iwconfig change to what you set?
[03:26] <aidrocsid> no tthat i know how to do that lol
[03:27] <aidrocsid> hmm
[03:27] <AeSix> smw it changed it, but not to what I said.
[03:27] <smw> AeSix, what did it change it to?
[03:27] <AeSix> the esside is AeSix.com
[03:28] <aidrocsid> how do i pick my own driver
[03:28] <aidrocsid> it's using the wrong one
[03:28] <AeSix> that's what I typed, and it changed it to a bunch of escaped charecter codes
[03:28] <aidrocsid> i got my driver from my windows partition, do i need ndiswrapper?
[03:28] <AeSix> \x05\xef so on and so forth
[03:28] <AeSix> smw ^^
[03:28] <AeSix> ends with ^Kyc
[03:28] <IdleOne> aidrocsid: have you looked at the !broadcom wiki page?
[03:28] <aidrocsid> no, link?
[03:28] <aidrocsid> well maybe
[03:28] <aurilliance> I installed xserver-xorg-input-evtouch to get my touchscreen going, but after a reboot ubuntu is unable to start - I just get a black screen. Any suggestions? (This is 10.10)
[03:29] <aidrocsid> i found some out of date thing
[03:29] <syrjun> having problems with transmission it says "Error: permission denied / ..."
[03:29] <IdleOne> !broadcom | aidrocsid
[03:29] <smw> AeSix, well, that is odd. I am not sure what to do. I will do some googling. I suggest you do the same
[03:29] <syrjun> help anyone
[03:29] <syrjun> ?
[03:29] <aidrocsid> i'm actually supposed to be using BCMWL664.sys
[03:30] <syrjun> having problems with transmission it says "Error: permission denied / ..."
[03:30] <AeSix> smw okies
[03:31] <syrjun> Hello, I'm having an issue with Transmission torrent client, anytime I try to use a torrent it gives me an error " Error : Permission denied / (specified dir)"
[03:31] <AeSix> smw ifconfig gives me a new entry
[03:31] <AeSix> eth1:ahavi
[03:31] <aidrocsid> weird
[03:31] <aidrocsid> why won't ndiswrapper take a .sys?
[03:31] <cleverer> anybody know what the standard gcc version is supposed to be for maverick? 4.4 or 4.5?
[03:31] <aidrocsid> how am I to get a .inf? :(
[03:32] <Flannel> cleverer: 4.4.4 looks like
[03:32] <syrjun> problem solved i r wienner
[03:32] <blakkheim> !info gcc
[03:33] <smw> AeSix, ok, lets start shutting stuff down
[03:33] <AeSix> can I use a 12g?
[03:33] <smw> AeSix, sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop
[03:33] <smw> AeSix, sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop
[03:33] <cleverer> !info libstdc++6
[03:33] <smw> AeSix, sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager stop
[03:33] <cleverer> why does that require 4.5?
[03:34] <Ademan> e2fsck says "Entry 'slides' in $PATH ($NUMBER) has deleted/unused inode $NUMBER. Clear<y>?" will this effectively delete the file?
[03:34] <smw> AeSix, tell me when you ran both those commands
[03:34] <x00z> How to I restore previous systems settings? I was updating my netbook and half way through it shut off... Now when I boot up at the login the mouse or keyboard dont work.  Can anyone help me?
[03:34] <Ademan> I chose not to clear the inode, and now it says it has an incorrect filetype (was 1, should be 0) anyone know what these filetype numbers mean?
[03:35] <songer> HELLO, SOME HELP
[03:35] <Muscovy> How can I make a command run hourly on my system?
[03:35] <KimLaRoux> Hello all. Does anyone else have issues with Ubuntu's torrent trackers? The ISO I have downloaded won't seed anymore... I get a bunch of errors from the tracker.
[03:35] <songer> how  can i install video driver in 10.10?
[03:35] <blakkheim> Muscovy: a cron job
[03:35] <AeSix> smw: command not found for NetworkManager or networkmanager
[03:35] <jrib> !cron | Muscovy
[03:36] <AeSix> smw avahi entry is still listed in ifconfig
[03:36] <smw> AeSix, do you see anything like that in /etc/init.d?
[03:36] <smw> AeSix, /etc/init.d/network-manager?
[03:36] <cleverer> !info libgcc1
[03:36] <cleverer> also, that depends on 4.5
[03:36] <Muscovy> jrib: the second link seems to be broken.
[03:37] <AeSix> yeah it's -
[03:37] <AeSix> done
[03:37] <AeSix> smw done
[03:37] <smw> AeSix, ok, now try it and see if it works
[03:37] <AeSix> try which?
[03:37] <smw> AeSix, iwconfig...essid...
[03:38] <AeSix> ifconfig shows only lo
[03:38] <smw> AeSix, ok, ifconfig eth1 up
[03:38] <smw> sudo that ^
[03:38] <electrofreak> how do I get the "MeMenu" back after I removed it?
[03:38] <AeSix> now it's up
[03:39] <AeSix> iwconfig shows proper name
[03:39] <smw> and dhclient?
[03:39] <smw> AeSix, sudo dhclient eth1
[03:39] <xangua> electrofreak: right clic in panel> add> indicator
[03:39] <audrey> hey
[03:39] <electrofreak> xangua, ah. that would be it. thanks.
[03:40] <audrey> fucking day
[03:40] <AeSix> smw looks like I grabbed an ip
[03:40] <jrib> !language | audrey
[03:40] <smw> AeSix, ping google.com?
[03:40] <AeSix> better, pinged it from this machine
[03:40] <audrey> okey
[03:40] <songer> how do i intall video drivers?
[03:40] <AeSix> smw but yes, it does ping google now
[03:40] <smw> Q: how do you disable a program from starting on boot? I have not understood how you do it since uboot.
[03:40] <mbeierl> couple of posts on ubuntuforums indicate that iphone 4g can be synched with gtkpod, but I keep getting bad directory structure.  any hints?
[03:41] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[03:41] <jrib> smw: what program?
[03:41] <smw> AeSix, great, we are many steps closer
[03:41] <smw> jrib, network-manager
[03:41] <Tetracomm> Does anyone know anything about recovering files after a partition table is corrupt?
[03:41] <AeSix> smw I know, right? after I installed wicd, I lost all ability to connect :( (it's gone now though, I think)
[03:41] <audrey> Q: is there a google sketchup package for linux?
[03:41] <smw> jrib, It is an init script (or "uboot script")
[03:42] <audrey> Q: is there a google sketchup package for linux?
[03:42] <audrey> Q: is there a google sketchup package for linux?
[03:42] <electrofreak> hehe, this broadcast thing (gwibber) totally doesn't work. :-(
[03:42] <smw> !repeat | audrey
[03:42] <jrib> smw: uboot?  Anyway, do you want to use network manager at all?  Why don't you just uninstall it?
[03:42] <xangua> audrey: no
[03:42] <Scarra3_> Stop spamming audry
[03:42] <cleverer> audrey: works under wine
[03:42] <mbeierl> Tetracomm: there were some programs I used a few years back (something like photo recover?) which would scan the raw data of the disk for specific jpeg/png/etc formats and attempt to recover data that way
[03:43] <smw> jrib, well, I kind of want to know the answer... I guess I don't have a reason...
[03:43] <audrey> i already try but it didn't work properly
[03:43] <Tetracomm> mbierl: It isn't photos, but songs and text files especially.
[03:43] <smw> AeSix, wicd? how did that get involved?
[03:43] <AeSix> it was suggested to me :(
[03:43] <smw> AeSix, are you saying that may have been the problem?
[03:43] <AeSix> but then when I went back, they said they thought I meant "to connect on log in"
[03:44] <cleverer> audrey: there is something special you have to do which I forget.. google it
[03:44] <audrey> is there other application that can replace or same application of google sketchup?
[03:44] <AeSix> no, it was a problem that kept me from manually connecting in CLI
[03:44] <jrib> smw: some programs offer a nice way to disable them and you can tell by reading /etc/init/service.conf.  If it doesn't you can just add "never" as a requirement for it to start.  Also, some programs are still using sysv init style scripts (not one in /etc/init) so then you can use something like sysv-rc-conf
[03:44] <apexofservice> I just updated my bios (phoenix bios) from ver 1.6 to 1.9.  If I look in the BIOS config page, I see that it's now got ver 1.9.  But when if I do dmidecode in Ubuntu, it thinks I still have ver 1.6.   Any Ideas?
[03:44] <AeSix> smw wicd only compounded my issue in an attempt to resolve the original issue.
[03:44] <smw> jrib, awesome. the never one looks good :-)
[03:45] <Blue1> apexofservice: powerdown reboot?
[03:45] <AeSix> smw the original issue remains: To automatically connect to my router on boot-up (so I can log in remotely)
[03:45] <smw> AeSix, but did disabling network-manager help?
[03:45] <apexofservice> blue 1: this is after a number of reboots
[03:45] <apexofservice> i had to reboot the first time to check that that bios config screens says ver 1.9
[03:45] <smw> AeSix, what made you able to manually connect? the shutoff of network-manager? wicd?
[03:45] <AeSix> smw: Yeah, I'd say so... I was not able to get online at all through CLI until a few minutes ago
[03:46] <AeSix> smw: I removed wicd about an hour ago :S
[03:46] <AeSix> smw make that closer to two hours :(
[03:46] <smw> AeSix, so, you need to uninstall networkmanager and then keep the new stuff in the interfaces file
[03:46] <audrey> is there other application that can replace or same application of google sketchup?
[03:46] <smw> AeSix, reboot and see if it works :-)

[03:47] <smw> audrey, please stop repeating yourself.
[03:47] <AeSix> smw coming up now
[03:47] <apexofservice> I believe that audrey has left.
[03:47] <AeSix> smw the computer, I mean
[03:47] <apexofservice> spoke too soon.
[03:47] <smw> apexofservice, I saw that XD
[03:47] <dmizzle> part
[03:48] <smw> AeSix, did you disable/uninstall network manager?
[03:48] <AeSix> smw no
[03:48] <smw> AeSix, well, you need to do that :-P.
[03:48] <AeSix> smw I only followed the commands you told me.
[03:48] <AeSix> smw you're going to hate me, but... how? :(
[03:48] <AeSix> smw apt-get remove? :D
[03:49] <smw> AeSix, yep,
[03:49] <AeSix> oh lol ok
[03:49] <smw> AeSix, just add sudo ;-)
[03:49] <Datz> is this the room for ubuntu the philosophy or ubuntu the linux?
[03:49] <Pokey> f
[03:49] <smw> AeSix, sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[03:49] <smw> Datz, the more fun one.

[03:50] <mickster04> hey how do I change the permissions automatically assigned to a newly mounted usb partition, I can change the folders permissions when it's mounted either, how do i do that?
[03:50] <AeSix> smw my brain feels like it's running on an over heating Cyrix 486SX :(
[03:50] <Datz> smw: so philosophy?
[03:50] <smw> Datz, nah read the topic
[03:50] <Datz> smw: btw, I'm joking :)
[03:50] <smw> Datz, of course you are. You said philosophy is more fun :-P
[03:51] <smw> AeSix, so, did you uninstall and reboot?
[03:51] <AeSix> smw doing so now
[03:51] <smw> AeSix, it appears that network manager interferes with everything else :-\
[03:51] <Datz> smw: lol
[03:51] <AeSix> smw I think I figured that out 2 years ago when I last played with linux :(
[03:52] <maco> smw: yes, you have to use "sudo service network-manager stop" before you can use ifconfig or iwconfig or ifup to configure a connection
[03:52] <AeSix> OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:52] <smw> maco, yep, we learned that the hard way. Do you have a time machine?
[03:52]  * AeSix gives smw a BIG FRIGGEN HUG
[03:52] <smw> lol
[03:53] <voss749> aesix, I suppose it could be worse, it could be an overclocked K6-III :)
[03:53] <smw> AeSix, everything works?
[03:53] <maco> smw: heh no sorry. similar topic has been going in #kubuntu
[03:53] <AeSix> smw I have some testing to do, but I was able to ping it from this machine
[03:53] <smw> maco, we wanted to manually set up a wireless network in the interfaces file :-)
[03:54] <smw> maco, it took us a while to realize that network-manager was the problem
[03:54] <maco> smw: ah yeah... ive relied on that a lot when knm was crappier....
[03:54] <kirkmoreno> Hello when I type gedit ~/.bash_profile the file is empty.. is this the way it is supposed to be, (clean install) I was expecting to see a big file.. I am having to put [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  # This loads RVM into a shell session. in this file.. any help would be appreciated.
[03:55] <smw> maco, the best part is that I am doing this without an ubuntu system in front of me. I have not used ubuntu in about 8-10 months
[03:55] <AeSix> smw it appears the interface comes up right before the GUI login - so though I was planning to remove XFCE, I think I'll leave it - just in case
[03:55] <Tetracomm> Thank you mbeirl. I will try that.
[03:56] <maco> kirkmoreno: yeah .bash_profile is usually not there on new users.   .bashrc and .profile  are the default ones
[03:56] <smw> AeSix, XFCE may no longer work for connecting to a network...
[03:56] <smw> AeSix, it may rely on network-manager
[03:56] <kirkmoreno> maco: so your saying that this is normal.
[03:57] <maco> kirkmoreno: yes
[03:57] <AeSix> smw that's fine. I'm only using the machine to build web pages and an eggdrop bot that will eventually be moved to my friend's server
[03:57] <maco> kirkmoreno: .bashrc is likely quite a big file though
[03:57] <smw> AeSix, sweet. Well, I need to go to bed now :-). G'night
[03:57] <AeSix> smw Thank You very much for your help.
[03:58] <kirkmoreno> I am trying to get RVM working.. I wonder if am modifying the wrong file..
[03:58] <kirkmoreno> maco: thanks
[03:59] <lixinfish> hello~ I wanna know whether my memory works on cl4 or cl6. which command should I use?
[04:00] <maitrey_> hi guys, I have recently purchased second hdd 500 gb seagate sata and it seems to be impossible to connect it in ubuntu (10.10). I've setup bios but I can run only one of those hddsks. It is not recognizing the second as slave. What to do? I guess jumper won't help?
[04:00] <pepee> hi
[04:00] <blackshirt> pepee: hi
[04:01] <blackshirt> maitrey_: are you sure ?
[04:01] <kirkmoreno> what file do you modify in local usr to make something default?
[04:01] <rxvt> ok im adding ubuntu to my grub menu, and suggestions?
[04:01] <seyacat> hi all
[04:01] <maitrey_> blackshirt: about the jumper? I'm not
[04:01] <jrib> kirkmoreno: what exactly do you want to make default?
[04:02] <pepee> when I suspend to RAM two or more times, my machine freezes and I have to reboot. the keyboard won't work and there are no signs of kernel panic
[04:02] <kirkmoreno> jrib: i want to make ruby 1.9.2 default
[04:02] <jrib> kirkmoreno: your default what?
[04:02] <pepee> I suppose is because of fglrx or ath9k
[04:02] <maco> kirkmoreno: gnome-terminals arent considered "login shells", so anything that ends in "profile" i *think* (if im remembering the semantics right) wont run in them (but would run if you ctrl+alt+f1 and login)
[04:02] <maco> kirkmoreno: so id use ~/.bashrc
[04:03] <intrader> Anyone, do any of you know how to fix 'NTLDR is compressed' error in Windows NT/Wubi installation?
[04:03] <seyacat> i have problema with cmake, when i use find_package(phtreath) or othrers print    Could not find module Findthread.cmake ....
[04:03] <kirkmoreno> maco: i think i maybe modifying the wrong file..
[04:03] <jrib> kirkmoreno: your default ruby you mean?
[04:03] <jcrowgey> this is apexofservice, i had a problem with my client, and got logged off.  i wonder if i missed any replies to my question about bios versions and dmidecode
[04:03] <lucas-arg> hello, i cant shutdown my laptop its a Hp dv6... I shut it down but power doesnt go off... how do i solve this?
[04:03] <maitrey_> people told me that sata doesn't need jumper if its not on one line. I've no idea.
[04:03] <kirkmoreno> jrib: yes
[04:04] <jrib> kirkmoreno: that's probably not a good idea.  If there are system scripts that rely on ruby, wouldn't that cause problems?  I know it would for python
[04:05] <rxvt> ok im adding ubuntu to my grub menu, is there a wiki for this?
[04:05] <rxvt> im about to spam :|
[04:06] <rxvt> im about to spam :|
[04:06] <rxvt> im about to spam :|
[04:06] <FloodBot2> rxvt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:06] <rxvt> lawl
[04:07] <rxvt> im asking a none noob question and cant get an answer nice
[04:07] <jrib> rxvt: attracting negative attention is not the way to get answers
[04:08] <rxvt> jrib: can you answer my question?
[04:08] <kirkmoreno> jrib: I am not familiar with Python..although it hear it is a really cool language. and would like to learn someday.. i will have to do some more research into this.. I am trying to get Heroku working.. and this has been well fustrating
[04:08] <jrib> rxvt: no I ignore people that spam
[04:08] <rxvt> then stfu k
[04:08] <rxvt> ty
[04:08] <rxvt> next
[04:08] <lucas-arg> some times my laptop shuts down correctly and some times it doesnt, what could be the problem?
[04:08] <jrib> !guidelines | rxvt
[04:08] <blackshirt> rxvt: just ask your question here ...
[04:09] <rxvt> i did and jrib was a jerk, cause i was being sarcasitc...
[04:09] <lucas-arg> i tried acpi=force in GRUB but it doesnt seem to help!
[04:09] <maco> rxvt: hey hey no calling names
[04:10] <rxvt> blackshirt: is there an ubuntu wiki to add ubuntu to my grub menu
[04:10] <rxvt> i found an old ubuntu drive and want to boot into it
[04:11] <blackshirt> i think, you can go to help.ubuntu.com
[04:11] <rxvt> ubuntu should adopt a wiki system such as arch's
[04:11] <maco> rxvt: http://wiki.ubuntu.com you mean?
[04:11] <jc> hello
[04:12] <rxvt> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/advanced-topics/C/index.html << ROFL!! ubuntu fail..
[04:12] <blackshirt> rxvt: go to http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Maverick
[04:12] <lucas-arg> !poweroff
[04:12] <peeps[work]> what is the gnome application called that installs .deb files, with a gui?
[04:13] <jc> Can my ubuntu system install .exe files??
[04:13] <jrib> peeps[work]: gdebi
[04:13] <jrib> !wine | jc
[04:13] <jrib> jc: some, but you should use native linux whenever possible
[04:13] <blackshirt> jc: natively maybe not...
[04:14] <jc> is there anything bad heppenning when i install wine
[04:14] <jrib> jc: no?
[04:14] <blackshirt> jc: something that can run on windows maybe :)
[04:14] <peeps[work]> jrib, ah thanks.  is it not normally installed by default?  i don't remember ever having to install that package before.  seems like it changed in maverick
[04:15] <jrib> peeps[work]: I think it's installed by default on the desktop, but not sure
[04:15] <jc> wine is being installed now,it takes me much time
[04:15] <peeps[work]> strange it was not on mine
[04:16] <jc> ubottu:how much time does it take to install a wine
[04:17] <niteshade> proxychains isn't working.  I try "proxychains ping www.google.com" as a sample, and it gives me: ERROR: ld.so: object 'libproxychains.so.3' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
[04:18] <aidrocsid> ok now i just need to get synergy working lol
[04:18] <niteshade> and it skips it and i never use the proxy, it just puts me straight through without proxy
[04:18] <aurilliance> Anyone know of an alternate application switcher for my panel?
[04:18] <aurilliance> I used to have one that had thumbnails of open windows etc but can't remember it's name
what's  proxychains?
[04:19] <aidrocsid> i don't get it, i set up my .synergy.conf
[04:19] <aidrocsid> oh wait
[04:19] <niteshade> it lets you use any network accessing terminal program through a proxy server
[04:19] <niteshade> like ping, nmap, or traceroute for example
[04:20] <aidrocsid> what the heck's the name of my file manager?
[04:20] <aidrocsid> i need to sudo it
[04:20] <aidrocsid> in gnome
[04:20] <intrader> Anyone, utterly slow UI in 10.10 after recent update (2 days) - recall slow UI fixed with the release of 10.10
[04:20] <shebang_wafflesa> intrader, what are your system specs and how long has your machine been running?
[04:20] <tuxd> anyone have any experience getting virtualbox working on ubuntu 10.10?
[04:22] <intrader> shebang_wafflesa, Del Inspiron 8200, 1 GBy memory, running for 12 hours.
[04:23] <niteshade> i haven't really logged my ip over time, so i don't know (in theory, it should change each time) but does one's ip change every time they go online?
[04:24] <niteshade> I think it'd be easier if one's ip never changed so you could just memorize it like your phone number
[04:25] <snowrichard> i got a static one
[04:25] <niteshade> you gotta set that up somehow?
[04:25] <shebang_wafflesa> niteshade, if you're talking about you're comp's IP address, it will change if you have dhcp set up. You can configure a static IP address on your LAN
[04:25] <AbhiJit> niteshade, you have to request to yoru isp to get static ip
[04:25] <snowrichard> they gave it to me when i had trouble getting vonage to work because i originally had a private 10.x.x.x one
[04:25] <niteshade> oh
[04:26] <snowrichard> if you do whois on me you can go to port 80 and see my web site lol
[04:26] <niteshade> you host it on the computer you're chatting from?
[04:26] <intrader> shebang_wafflesa, I enjoyed speedy 10.10 for about 1 week; then updates of a couple of days messed up and slowed things up. The machine was even able to run the XAMPP stack and still had responsive UI. Now, it is like molasses. Scrolling in firebox or chrome is painfully slow. Typing in XChat, just ridiculous.
[04:26] <snowrichard> no its forwarded
[04:27] <snowrichard> one static ip for my lan
[04:27] <niteshade> oh.  Cause if you did other stuff on the computer you host on, it'd slow the site access down
[04:27] <zhangxinhui> how to use IRC command in empathy?
[04:27] <snowrichard> its a 6 core phenom the server, it doesn't slow much
[04:27] <niteshade> nice...
[04:28] <puff> I'm curious about xmonad.  Specifically, I use a laptop with a 15" screen (I know, how 90s of me) and I pretty much always have every window maximized and use alt-tab and the window-menu gnome applet to manage them.
[04:28] <intrader> shebang_wafflesa, now fans are on no matter what!
[04:28] <puff> Given that, is xmonad likely to be of any use to me?
[04:28] <tuxd> virtualbox on ubuntu 10.10 anyone?
[04:28] <maco> puff: being a maximised-window person is what i think makes xmonad suit me...
[04:29] <tensorpudding> tuxd: what about it?
[04:29] <maco> puff: i dont think youd be able to use the applet anymore though
[04:29] <Mariojinx> Hi.
[04:29] <maco> puff: youd use mod+j to jump to the next window
[04:29] <tuxd> I'm looking for some help with mouse integration and getting a share folder mapped
[04:29] <snowrichard> i think i need to update my sources -- update manager failed to retrieve some packages
[04:29] <puff> maco: Can you elaborate on how it suits you?
[04:29] <pepee> tuxd, #vbox
[04:29] <pepee> tuxd, what's the problem?
[04:29] <Mariojinx> I'm trying to compile an Xcode project under Linux. Can anyone help?
[04:29] <tensorpudding> tuxd: Ubuntu 10.10 guest?
[04:30] <maco> puff: i always either have windows maximised or if theyre small things (like a buddy list) that just cant fill the space, i then would attempt to manually arrange them. which is annoying. easier to let it do that automatically
[04:30] <tensorpudding> Mariojinx: I'm going to say that it's probably not possible unless it's portable C/C++ code
[04:30] <pepee> when I suspend to RAM two or more times, my machine freezes and I have to reboot. the keyboard won't work and there are no signs of kernel panic. I suppose this happens because of fglrx or ath9k
[04:30] <tensorpudding> tuxd: Shared folders is handled through vboxfs, you need to get guest additions for that
[04:31] <maco> puff: oh, and if a window tries to insist that it be a certain size, xmonad will force it maximised
[04:31] <tuxd> pepee:  manual says Network Places > Entire Network > Virtualbox Shared Folders ... I get to Entire Network and Vbox shared folders I don't see
[04:31] <tuxd> tensorpudding: how do I get guest additions?
[04:32] <pepee> tuxd, mount the vbox cd image
[04:32] <snowrichard> this machine hadn't been updated in a while i've got 30 minutes download coming now
[04:32] <tensorpudding> tuxd: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html
[04:32] <niteshade> snowrichard: so was it 169.182.169.12?  Cause nmap says it's down and my browser says it timed out
[04:32] <snowrichard> oh let me check
[04:32] <tuxd> tensorpudding: ty!
[04:32] <snowrichard> its on wireless
[04:33] <niteshade> that shouldn't make any difference i think
[04:33] <jk_> tuxd, at the top of the vbox window when your VM is running, pull down Devices. Install Guest Additions will be the bottom line on that menu. Click it and you're on your way.
[04:33] <puff> maco: Hm, sounds kinda neat, the demos look neat, but I'm concluding it would be irrelevant for me 99% of the itme.
[04:33] <snowrichard> no its up the actual ip is 12.169.182.169 though
[04:33] <niteshade> maybe that'll work
[04:34] <puff> maco: Though maybe it'd save me the bother of maximizing windows when I occasionally have to reboot and restart my machine :-).
[04:34] <tuxd> jk_: sweet.  Thanks!  :)
[04:34] <niteshade> just a test page
[04:34] <puff> maco: Thanks for the advice!
[04:34] <snowrichard> the real site is on a virtual host drupal.mypals.info
[04:34] <niteshade> let's try that ip /index.htm
[04:35] <snowrichard> i need to put in a redirect
[04:35] <niteshade> same thing
[04:35] <niteshade> not gonna hack into your shit, but i wanna try looking a little further into this...
[04:36] <maco> !language | niteshade
[04:36] <snowrichard> i didn't put any content on the default vhost you are seeing whats there
[04:36] <niteshade> sorry
[04:36] <niteshade> oh
[04:36] <snowrichard> It Works
[04:36] <snowrichard> right
[04:37] <niteshade> that's about all it does apparently
[04:37] <snowrichard> I'll fix it now
[04:37] <niteshade> lol
[04:37] <niteshade> so, are you renting the server it's on, or is it physically your box?
[04:37] <meway> Hello my OS keeps crashing and when I turn my computer off and come back in I have to do fsck and yes to a bunch of things. This has happend every time when firefox was open and crashing firefox and not allowing to open terminal or any other program. Any ideas? Could firefox be linked to the issue?
[04:38] <meway> also hardrive makes loud click when this happends.
[04:38] <meway> its a laptop
[04:38] <meway> ubuntu 9.10 sorry for not saying this.
[04:39] <niteshade> so it starts messing up when you open firefox and not before?
[04:39] <[V13]Axel> join #kubuntu
[04:39] <[V13]Axel> Oops~
[04:40] <tortoise> I'm having trouble getting conky to start upon booting up ubuntu. I tried writing a script and then adding it to the startup applications but after I reboot I still have to alt+f2
[04:41] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: Have you added the command to your /etc/init.rc ?
[04:41] <meway> niteshade, it only has happend when firefox was open.
[04:41] <meway> niteshade, If its not a known bug or issue I will be forced to think its a hardware issue.
[04:41] <meway> niteshade, also problem only started after some updates for firefox
[04:41] <karthick87> I have recently installed octave from Synaptic on my Ubuntu box, the multiplot methods (multiplot, mplot, etc.) are not present (in either octave-3.0 nor octave-3.2 packages).Which package should I install to have these?
[04:41] <niteshade> meway: try running it in a terminal and sending the output and errorlevel to a file and see if it gives anything meaningful before it crashes.  You can go back to it after you restart and see if it gave you anything useful
[04:41] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: No, I haven't. I'm not sure how to do that.
[04:42] <Mariojinx> tensorpudding: The code is cubescript.
[04:42] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: The command is "sudo gedit /etc/init.rc", use that command, and add the command to the end of the commented lines.
[04:42] <snowrichard> niteshade the index.html is fixed, links to the two sites i have on there as vhosts.
[04:42] <root_man> HI
[04:42] <infinant> what is the command for removing the gdm2setup ppa using ppa-purge?
[04:42] <snowrichard> and yes its my box its in my kitchen
[04:43] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: When I do that it gives me a blank page, like it doesn't exist.
[04:43] <meway> niteshade, it only happends some times
[04:43] <meway> niteshade, like if I am on it and irc at the same time and switching from them often
[04:43] <meway> niteshade, well on start up (firefox-bin:1835): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
[04:43] <niteshade> still the same poge
[04:43] <Mariojinx> Does anyone know of a Mac Installer.app for linux?
[04:43] <snowrichard> refresh then
[04:43] <snowrichard> or clear cache
[04:44] <[V13]Axel> Hm. One moment.
[04:44] <niteshade> meway: your computer isn't fast enough.  Does it happen immediately, or does it start slowing down, "skipping", bugging out beforehand?  What WH u got?
[04:44] <niteshade> * HW
[04:44] <karthick87> I like to play games on ubuntu,which graphics card is best to use with 10.10?
[04:45] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: could it be /etc/init.d ?
[04:45] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: No, I think it's...
[04:45] <Mariojinx> Does anyone know of a Mac Installer.app for ubuntu?
[04:45] <meway> niteshade, maybe
[04:45] <meway> niteshade, hard to notice
[04:45] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: It's /etc/rc.local
[04:45] <Mariojinx> I need it to "install" Xcode to compile a project.
[04:45] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: My apologies for that minor failure.
[04:45] <niteshade> meway, what hardware u running?
[04:45] <meway> niteshade, 1g processor with 1g ram is a bit slow yes but you would think.....
[04:45] <root_man> Backtrack 4 anybody?
[04:46] <niteshade> yeah.  Well, you'd think
[04:46] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: It's no problem. Better learning :P
[04:46] <niteshade> hmm
[04:46] <dragon36> sg nickserv identify master69
[04:46] <blakkheim> ^
[04:46] <meway> niteshade, idk how to bring up a list on ubuntu im a normal windows user
[04:46] <niteshade> i think you can do it, but you shouldn't be trying to do two things at once on that box
[04:46] <blakkheim> i love when people do that
[04:47] <Mariojinx> Does anyone know???
[04:47] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: And just to make sure, will the command 'sleep 30 && conky ;' work?
[04:47] <niteshade> eh, just go cat files in /proc
[04:47] <intrader> Continuing, investigating slow UI.rebooting and reports cpu/memory usage in http://paste.ubuntu.com/528505/ Noticed that after I kill the plugin container running flash, UI is much better. Perhaps problem in a flash application displayed by http://mixergy.com/free-apps-interview/
[04:47] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: I'm not really sure what that does but that's what I was told to put in the script for the startup applications
[04:48] <niteshade> or open the case (don't touch anything while it's running) and read some of the cards
[04:48] <Mariojinx> oh, come on, now, I spent weeks googling this issue.
[04:48] <meway> niteshade, lol are you talking to me?
[04:48] <niteshade> yeah
[04:48] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: It makes Ubuntu wait 30 seconds before starting it when the script is run.
[04:48] <meway> niteshade, im running the same os on a 512 that has no problems
[04:49] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: So it'll just wait 30 seconds before it opens conky. But, it will still open conky, right?
[04:49] <niteshade> excuse me, 512MB ram?
[04:49] <meway> and than I have one running on a 3g that runs great as well
[04:49] <Mariojinx> Who here knows a lot about cross-platform stuff?
[04:49] <meway> niteshade, indeed
[04:49] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: I would say 'sleep 10 && conky' the semicolon is unnecessary unless there are more commands after it.
[04:49] <rww> ubottu: identify | dragon36
[04:49] <niteshade> no wonder it's slow!  Upgrade ur ram, fool!
[04:49] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: Yes, but as I said, I'd set it to sleep 10 seconds, instead of 30.
[04:49] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: Okay, thanks. I'm still really new to scripting :P
[04:49] <meway> niteshade..... um the one Im on has the issues and its 1g processor and 1g ram
[04:49] <tortoise> brb, going to test this
[04:50] <meway> niteshade, I was saying I have another machine with 512mb and it has no problems
[04:50] <niteshade> oh
[04:50] <niteshade> ...
[04:50] <infinant> is gdm2setup unavailable for maverick?
[04:50] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: Don't worry about it; The sleep X is one command, and the && says 'perform function X, and when it's done perform function Y." Where it's X && Y.
[04:50] <snowrichard> i run ubuntu 32 bit in a virtualbox with 512MB allocated it works
[04:51] <niteshade> shoot, i dunno anymore.  All i can say is try to get some more performance outta that heap.  You'd be amazed what a little TLC will do for a desktop
[04:52] <niteshade> or u could find another distro of linux that might work better
[04:52] <meway> also my 3.something gigs quad core xeon with 8gb ram has issues even installing it. But its a server so XD
[04:52] <meway> niteshade, but I just got used to ubuntu :|!!
[04:52] <niteshade> and u didn't even know how to list off ur hardware?
[04:53] <blakkheim> lol
[04:53] <sash_> good morning. does someone know if the brother printer dcp-j 315w is supported in ubuntu? it is a wireless lan printer.
[04:53] <meway> niteshade, I did say I am a windows user
[04:53] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: It doesn't seem to be working. Does /etc/rc.local need to be added anywhere to be ran when I start up?
[04:53] <sash_> i cant find it in hcl
[04:53] <niteshade> maybe you can run in X, but there's FAR more 2 ubuntu
[04:53] <niteshade> screw windows
[04:53] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: No, but did you uncomment the first line in /etc/rc.local?
[04:54] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: Oh no, I didn't.
[04:54] <meway> Im on a dell latitude with everything stock sigmatel audio some shity video card some horrid wireless card
[04:54] <niteshade> i wouldn't trust it farther than i can throw a giant man that's four times my size
[04:54] <quiescens> um
[04:54] <[V13]Axel> meway: What's your problem? Perhaps I may be able to help.
[04:54] <Jerub> on ubuntu 10.10, is there a reason that chmod 4755 bash; ./bash doesn't give me root?
[04:55] <meway> Hello my OS keeps crashing and when I turn my computer off and come back in I have to do fsck and yes to a bunch of things. This has happend every time when firefox was open and crashing firefox and not allowing to open terminal or any other program. Any ideas? Could firefox be linked to the issue?
[04:55] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: Good, call. I forgot all about that.
[04:55] <meway> [V13]Axel, ^
[04:55] <niteshade> ./bash doesen't exist unless you're in /bin
[04:55] <niteshade> just type "bash"
[04:56] <tensorpudding> who owns ./bash? setuid makes it run as the owner of the script
[04:56] <Jerub> tensorpudding: root:root
[04:56] <tensorpudding> and setting things setuid willy-nilly is a really bad idea
[04:56] <tensorpudding> setuid root*
[04:56] <quiescens> ^
[04:56] <Jerub> tensorpudding: i know, i'm trying to demonstrate a silly thing, and for some reason i can't get bash to behave the way i want
[04:56] <tensorpudding> furthermore, shell scripts won't obey setuid
[04:57] <Jerub> it's ELF not a #! script
[04:57] <[V13]Axel> meway: The IRC is too cluttered. Perhaps you could PM me your problem?
[04:58] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: Yeah, gotta pay attention to that ;P
[04:58] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: It didn't work again. Is the rc.local line supposed to be uncommented as well?
[04:58] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: rc.local line? One moment.
[04:58] <quiescens> tortoise: what are you trying to do in rc.local, as far as I can tell you're trying to run conky on startup
[04:58] <tortoise> quiescens: Exactly
[04:59] <quiescens> tortoise: in which case trying to run it in rc.local is unlikely to work without some considerable effort
[04:59] <quiescens> conky being an X application, and rc.local being run before X starts
[05:00] <[V13]Axel> quiescens: You have a point; I forgot about that. However, we've added a 10-second sleep before Conky is run.
[05:00] <tortoise> quiescens: What would be the best way to do this then?
[05:00] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is it possible to set an alias for a directory, similar to the ~ alias?  I want to be able to type in cd foo from anywhere and wind up in a particular directory.
[05:00] <blakkheim> add it to your window manager's startup script
[05:00] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: I'm not extremely familiar with Conky, but is there not an option to start it with the computer, as there is on Screenlets?
[05:01] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: No, not that I know of.
[05:01] <tortoise> Let me try it with a 15 second sleep and see if that changes anything.
[05:01] <[V13]Axel> Okay.
[05:01] <blakkheim> it won't
[05:01] <brady> My flatscreen monitor is being run at a non-native resolution. I went to System->Monitors to change it, but the native resolution of my monitor is not in the drop-down box. Please advise.
[05:02] <[V13]Axel> blakkheim: How would you go about implimenting that, then?
[05:02] <blakkheim> [V13]Axel: o just said, look up
[05:02] <blakkheim> i*
[05:02] <[V13]Axel> brady: Do you have the proprietary drivers enabled?
[05:02] <blakkheim> it depends on what window manager he's running
[05:02] <GA_Bull> Anybody have any idea why my computer is automatically suspending when I unplug the power supply?
[05:03] <[V13]Axel> blakkheim: Well, I don't know what window manager he's using.
[05:03] <the|herbivore> brady: what does the output of "xdpyinfo" tell you?
[05:03] <quiescens> mm
[05:03] <quiescens> who was it with the suid thingy
[05:03] <tortoise> [V13]Axel: Nothing that time either.
[05:03] <quiescens> Jerub: bash has a -p option you can use to tell it not to reset the UID
[05:03] <[V13]Axel> GA_Bull: Check your power options?
[05:03] <blakkheim> tortoise: what window manager do you run?
[05:03] <Jerub> quiescens: thanks
[05:04] <tortoise> blakkheim: Erm. What are my options?
[05:04] <blakkheim> tortoise: .. uh is it just a default install with GNOME?
[05:04] <[V13]Axel> tortoise: Compiz, Metacity, Emerald?
[05:04] <quiescens> Jerub: I suppose you could try that but I don't know for sure whether it will work, but if you're just trying to demonstrate something, then I guess you can try there
[05:04] <Jerub> quiescens: that's it, thanks.
[05:04] <maco> GA_Bull: install the acpi program and see if "acpi -b" says its recognising having decent remaining battery
[05:04] <GA_Bull> [V13]Axel: no issues there
[05:04] <brady> [V13]Axel, I don't know. I went to System->Administration->Additional Drivers and it said something like ``There are no proprietary drivers.''
[05:04] <tortoise> blakkheim: Yes, default gnome
[05:04] <brady> the|herbivore, xdpyinfo says I am running at 1280x1024 pixels.
[05:05] <blakkheim> tortoise: then you should just be able to add conky to your startup applications with the menu
[05:05] <quiescens> system, preferences, startup applications
[05:05] <quiescens> or whatever
[05:05] <blakkheim> tortoise: i don't use gnome (or even ubuntu) so i don't know the exact wording, but it should be under system>preferences>startup applications
[05:05] <meway> [V13]Axel, I pmed you
[05:05] <GA_Bull> Maco: getting it now
[05:05] <[V13]Axel> brady: Hmm... Open a terminal, and show me the output of 'lspci | grep VGA'
[05:05] <r3sno> i have struggled with getting /etc/network/interfaces to get my card to connect and its not working. i can post the scan of my router from iwilist eth1 scan
[05:05] <r3sno> my wifi card is showing as eth1 btw
[05:06] <GA_Bull> maco: Battery is at 100%
[05:06] <brady> [V13]Axel, 06:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G200eW WPCM450 (rev 0a)
[05:06] <tortoise> blakkheim: That's what I tried first. But it has options for "Name" "Command" and "Comment"...would './conky-colors' go into the command?
[05:06] <niteshade> i really wish i could afford some bud
[05:06] <blakkheim> tortoise: is conky-colors a script or the actual binary? and where is it located?
[05:06] <r3sno> !wireless
[05:07] <brady> [V13]Axel, It is the built-in video for a PowerEdge 110. I asked Dell if the on-board video was capable of driving this monitor at native resolution and the help jockey said yes. I wonder if this was true.
[05:07] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is it possible to set an alias for a directory, similar to the ~ alias?  I want to be able to type in cd foo from anywhere and wind up in a particular directory.
[05:07] <[V13]Axel> brady: Did Dell know you were running Linux?
[05:07] <shebang_wafflesa> blackheim, try less conky-colors. If you see what looks to be a shell script, then it's a script ;)
[05:08] <brady> [V13]Axel, No.
[05:08] <tortoise> blakkheim: I think it's a script, but I'm not sure. It's located at ~/conky_colors
[05:08] <blakkheim> shebang_wafflesa: you misspelled my name and i'm not running ubuntu (as i just said) - i'm trying to help someone with conky
[05:08] <quiescens> less jumping into the middle of somethin, nodnod
[05:08] <quiescens> lol
[05:08] <blakkheim> tortoise: then you would put /home/yourusername/conky_colors as the command
[05:09] <[V13]Axel> brady: Well, you could try manually setting the mode manually in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I can't give you specifics on how.
[05:09] <brady> [V13]Axel, That will bring back fond memories of high school. Ok, why not.
[05:10] <denysonique> How can I backup a boot sector of a livecd that can be later used with mkisofs?
[05:10] <tortoise> blakkheim: ohh. I see what I did wrong now. Let me test it again real quick
[05:10] <r3sno> have struggled with getting /etc/network/interfaces to get my card to connect and its not working. i can post the scan of my router from iwilist wlan0 scan
[05:11] <niteshade> almost forgot my computer wasn't plugged in
[05:11] <kirkmoreno> Anyone recommend an alternative to heroku
[05:11] <dsnyders> No, I don't think hard or soft links are what I want, because they are in a specific directory.  I want to be able to type in cd foo from any directory, just like cd ~ brings you to /home/username from anywhere.
[05:11] <gbear12> does the cp command need any arguments to copy symlinks?  I'm having a problem with nautilus giving me errors saying it can't copy simlinks when trying to copy a directory...
[05:12] <Madpilot> gbear12, "man cp" should tell you
[05:12] <blackrock> Hello, I'm trying to get wbar to work, but typing wbar on the terminal doesn't show anything
[05:12] <blackrock> I used wbarconf to configure it
[05:12] <gbear12> Madpilot, I got a little overwhelmed by the man page... I wasn't sure how many flags I should be setting after that!  (such as backup etc.)
[05:13] <GA_Bull> blackrock: check if it's running yet. Run pgrep wbar and see if you get process id's
[05:13] <gbear12> Madpilot, but... I'll take another look
[05:13] <brady> [V13]Axel, /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist! The closest match on my system is /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
[05:13] <shebang_wafflesa> Madpilot: for BSD copy, if i read the ma right, you use the -RL switches
[05:14] <blackrock> GA_Bull: Seems like working
[05:14] <gbear12> -H     follow command-line symbolic links in SOURCE  <-- what does this mean?
[05:14] <tman_> hi can somebody tell me if im missing something in the syntax for this conky entry ${linkstatus wlan0} it should show the ssid status for my wifi card but its not.
[05:14] <blackrock> Also has output: Using a Super Bar, etc.
[05:15] <melange> So I hear Ubuntu's switching the default WM from Gnome to Unity, opinions?
[05:15] <GA_Bull> blackrock: Ok, then go ahead and kill it and then bring it back up. Just type "kill (process id)" without the parentheses.
[05:15] <niteshade> oh god, i just realized that almost my entire day every day is spent on the internet, and 95% of that time is spent watching youtube.  Is this really what my life amounts to now?
[05:15] <melange> I haven't really played with Unity, is it worth trying?
[05:15] <GA_Bull> blackrock: so do that for each process id, and then go back and type wbar again to restart it.
[05:15] <AeSix> niteshade - if it weren't for youtube, you'd be playing NES and eating chocolate chip cookies.
[05:15] <shebang_wafflesa> is niteshade a bot?
[05:16] <niteshade> hell no!
[05:16] <Madpilot> gbear12, must confess I suggested "man cp" without having read it recently... having just done so, I'd forgotten what strange options cp has. I've no idea what at least half of them do... sorry!
[05:16] <shebang_wafflesa> oh, the stuf you were saying seemed kind of random
[05:16] <niteshade> ... to shebang waffles.  I'm not a bot.
[05:16] <[V13]Axel> brady: If you run Ubuntu 10.04 or later, it will be blank; It will still be parsed if you create one yourself, however.
[05:16] <blackrock> GA_Bull: I did "killall wbar" and restarted it, but see nothing
[05:16] <niteshade> i'm just depressed is all
[05:16] <shebang_wafflesa> niteshade: i've run into some very convincing bots ;)
[05:17] <Madpilot> niteshade, bot or not, random offtopicness belongs on #ubuntu-offtopic plz
[05:17] <GA_Bull> hmm....
[05:17] <AeSix> so, best VNC server for ubuntu 10.04 w/ Fluxbox? Anyone?
[05:17] <skimj> I was upgrading using an alternate install CD. The upgrade crashed due to a bug (already known). What's the best way to "restart" the upgrade, picking up where it left off?
[05:17] <AeSix> x11vnc dun do eer
[05:17] <blakkheim> AeSix: tightvncserver is what i like
[05:17] <niteshade> it can seem that way until they slip and start spouting nonsensical bullshit
[05:17] <AeSix> will it work with fluxbox, blakkheim ?
[05:17] <gbear12> Madpilot, I appreciate the re-look... I'm thinking i should just be using -RL... but I'm not sure... and normally I wouldn't care as much except A.  This isn't mOS
[05:17] <gbear12> OS*
[05:18] <blakkheim> AeSix: i use it with openbox, so probably
[05:18] <gbear12> A.  This isn't my computer
[05:18] <AeSix> I've used tVNC for many years in the windows world, and it works nicely there
[05:18] <r3sno> have struggled with getting /etc/network/interfaces to get my card to connect and its not working. i can post the scan of my router from iwilist wlan0 scan  my configuration file -->http://dpaste.com/272672/
[05:18] <shebang_wafflesa> gbear: if cp is the same in linux, -RL look to be the best
[05:18] <AeSix> COol, I'll try it out tomorrow then blakkheim
[05:18] <AeSix> Thank You
[05:18] <gbear12> B.  This is a backup of a vista home directory that I'm taking before wiping a friends computer and re-installing the OS(es)
[05:18] <AeSix> r3sno
[05:18] <AeSix> sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[05:19] <r3sno> AeSix: why am i doing that?
[05:19] <AeSix> I spent the better part of 6 hours trying to get my (now) headless box to connect...
[05:19] <AeSix> boiled down to having to remove network-manaher
[05:19] <atari2600a> can someone help me with this?
[05:19] <atari2600a> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/528517/
[05:19] <niteshade> i've been trying to teach a bot to hack into itself, and maybe by altering its own code can make itself more "human" by force, but they never seem to have the attention span for it
[05:20] <r3sno> AeSix: really? ok, ill give it a spin
[05:20] <gbear12> anyone else?  I'm trying to make a backup of a windows vista "documents and settings" folder before I get ready to wipe the thing...  Can anyone tell me what the right commands are to get cp to follow symlinks and make sure it gets everything?
[05:20] <AeSix> r3sno
[05:20] <tortoise> blakkheim: Still not working for some reason. Everything seems to be right...
[05:20] <tman_> hi can somebody tell me if something in the syntax conky of this entry is wrong ${linkstatus wlan0} it should show the ssid status for my wifi card but its not.
[05:20] <AeSix> r3sno make sure etc/network/interfaces has your info
[05:20] <blakkheim> tortoise: ps aux | grep conky
[05:20] <AeSix> and if your wireless connection is eth1, use that where ever wlan0 is used in documents
[05:20] <r3sno> AeSix: http://dpaste.com/272672/ this the information ive scanned and am using
[05:21] <atari2600a> gbear12, I never had much problems for a simple drag/drop, except for the occasional ownership conflict
[05:21] <shebang_wafflesa> gbear: maybe you should tar it up instead. I think tar preserves links
[05:21] <AeSix> r3sno what's the connection name in iwconfig?
[05:21] <tortoise> blakkheim: What do you need from there?
[05:21] <blakkheim> tortoise: the output
[05:21] <gbear12> atari2600a, me niether.. except it looks like windows is now using symlinks.. and the typical drag/drop gives me symlink errors
[05:22] <AeSix> r3sno is it "wlan" ?
[05:22] <tortoise> blakkheim: I have no idea which number is the output :/
[05:22] <gbear12> ARGGH... anyone know if there is a way to deactivate a touch pad from within ubuntu (vs the BIOS)
[05:22] <atari2600a> gbear12, have you tried forcing it?
[05:22] <blakkheim> tortoise: what does it say when you run that command
[05:22] <r3sno> AeSix: i changed it to wlan to stop the wireless cant be eth1 disucssion... so i could get help
[05:22] <atari2600a> *with a simple copy command
[05:22] <suraj> HI guys, I just update my laptop 10.04 to 10.10 and what i am seeing now is my desktop effects in not working now? what's wrong or what should I do now?
[05:23] <atari2600a> gbear12, there's usually a fn+F? button
[05:23] <vol7ron> how do you upgrade to 10.10?
[05:23] <r3sno> AeSix: heres the results of that http://dpaste.com/272676/
[05:23] <gbear12> atari2600a, I don't want to force it... think it worked and then only find out later I missed all the files behind the symlinks
[05:23] <AeSix> ok r3sno, as long as it's the same name in ifconfig, iwconfig, iwlist, and etc/network/interfaces
[05:23] <tortoise> blakkheim: "tortoise 1530 0.0 0.0 3320 796 pts/0 S+ 00:20 0:00 grep --color=au to conky
[05:23] <blakkheim> tortoise: that's all?
[05:23] <suraj> I used update manager
[05:23] <atari2600a> vol7ron, change your software sources settings to accept non-LTS upgrades
[05:23] <tortoise> blakkheim: yes
[05:23] <r3sno> AeSix: it is, and i dont have netowkr manager installed
[05:23] <AeSix> r3sno rename the stuff to eth1 then
[05:23] <blakkheim> tortoise: ok, that means it's not running, what happens when you run "./conky+colors"
[05:23] <vol7ron> i'll have to look for that
[05:23] <vol7ron> i'm also on vmware
[05:23] <AeSix> r3sno do: dhclient
[05:23] <atari2600a> so can anyone here help me w/ my dpkg problem?
[05:23] <atari2600a>  Still not work
[05:24] <atari2600a> err
[05:24] <AeSix> see what that does?
[05:24] <atari2600a> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/528517/
[05:24] <suraj> okay...
[05:24] <FloodBot3> atari2600a: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:24] <blakkheim> tortoise: ./conky_colors rather
[05:24] <AeSix> if that don't help, not sure what to do for ya :(
[05:24] <niteshade> what i need is a complete change in world.  One where the bullshit in this one is no longer relevant or even existant.  There are so many different worlds within this one like that, but it's never as simple as hopping aboard and leaving.  I think i'd like to have the life of rock from black lagoon.  Kidnapped by pirates, and end up dropping a boring and useless life by becoming one
[05:24] <niteshade> just a dream
[05:24] <bazhang> niteshade, thats enough.
[05:24] <suraj> but it was working before upgrade
[05:24] <tortoise> blakkheim: nothing, no such file or directory
[05:24] <Madpilot> niteshade, seriously, #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support stuff, OK?
[05:25] <gbear12> lol, there is a "disable touchpad while typing option"  but no "disable touchpad"   *sigh*
[05:25] <blakkheim> tortoise: ls ~ | grep conky
[05:25] <niteshade> ok
[05:25] <niteshade> sigh
[05:25] <shebang_wafflesa> gbear, if your trying to preserve the symlinks of a dir, try archiving it instead of copying it
[05:25] <r3sno> AeSix: should i paste the results, ive tried many of these commands before
[05:25] <tortoise> blakkheim: conky_colors
[05:25] <tman_> is something in the syntax of this conky entry is wrong ${linkstatus wlan0} it should show the ssid status for my wifi card but its not? :\
[05:25] <blakkheim> tortoise: file conky_colors
[05:25] <tortoise> directory
[05:25] <blakkheim> tortoise: that's the problem, it's not a script at all
[05:26] <gbear12> shebang_wafflesa, Will that create a complete copy?  And how do I do that?  I'm about to wipe this whole hdd out and am trying to take a final backup
[05:26] <atari2600a> damnit I'm going to ##linux
[05:26] <AeSix> r3sno the first paste you gave me, the connection name was "wlan" and in the second it is "eth1" so, make those match and it may work. But, that's the extent of my knowlege :(
[05:26] <blackrock> Types wbar at terminal, output, no errors, just hangs. What could be the prob?
[05:26] <gbear12> atari2600a, whats wrong?
[05:26] <tortoise> blakkheim: I know. I made the script './conky-startup.sh' that's what I put in the command (along with the path)
[05:26] <AeSix> r3sno I do appologize for not being able to help more, but I need to get off the computer.
[05:26] <r3sno> AeSix: k thax bye
[05:26] <blakkheim> tortoise: so why didn't you put that script name in the startup?
[05:27] <shebang_wafflesa> gnear, are you trying to copy a windows directory/ Try using rar if thtat's the case
[05:27] <tortoise> blakkheim: I did.
[05:27]  * AeSix is away: It's tomorrow already!? CRAP!
[05:27] <blakkheim> tortoise: what happens if you run ./conky-startup.sh then?
[05:27] <blakkheim> tortoise: it shouldn't exist
[05:27] <atari2600a> gbear12, dpkg has a broken package, the usual apt-get check & apt-get install -f aren't doing anything
[05:27] <gbear12> shebang_wafflesa, yes... I am... I have a 1TB external too... originally I just asked what arguments I should use with cp to make sure I get everything
[05:28] <shebang_wafflesa> yeah, -RL i think, but i think archivers will preserve everything more thuroughly
[05:28] <gbear12> atari2600a, good luck...  I got really lucky and a sharp dpkg ninja stopped and helped me out 1 on 1 for about 10 min to fix my problem
[05:28] <gbear12> I wish you the best finding one yourself
[05:28] <tortoise> blakkheim: I was the one that made it. but for some reason, it's telling me that there's no such file or directory, even though I'm staring at it.
[05:29] <atari2600a> you know it IS funny
[05:29] <Jordan_U> r3sno: Why are you trying to configure wireless in /etc/network/interfaces rather than with network manager?
[05:29] <atari2600a> Ubuntu is loaded with server-side errors
[05:29] <r3sno> Jordan_U: i dont have a desktop running
[05:29] <blakkheim> tortoise: when you did ls ~ | grep conky, it didn't list it. are you sure it's in ~/?
[05:29] <atari2600a> yet even THIS is better support that what Microsoft will provide :P
[05:29] <tortoise> blakkheim: yes, would it make a difference if it needs -a to be seen?
[05:30] <blakkheim> tortoise: why would it be hidden?
[05:30] <tortoise> blakkheim: I have no idea
[05:30] <gbear12> atari2600a, I've always considered getting an ubuntu support plan... I wonder if you had one if they would help you with your issue...
[05:30] <jparks> in here? no this is community support
[05:30] <blakkheim> tortoise: you can try ls -a ~ | grep -i conky
[05:30] <blakkheim> tortoise: but i think it will be the same result
[05:30] <skimj> Is the cdromupgrade script the best way to restart a crashed upgrade? Or is there a better way?
[05:30] <jparks> you'd have people at canonical you could call/email/chat with for your errors, but i'm sure the cheapest subscription is probably over 1000$
[05:31] <atari2600a> gbear12, I doubt it-- I use pre-release/unsupported :P
[05:31] <gbear12> ew...
[05:31] <tortoise> blakkheim: Oh, I do know why it was hidden. I put a dot in front of it :/
[05:31] <blakkheim> tortoise: :|
[05:31] <jparks> i use Ubuntu on my servers, Gentoo for everything else ;)
[05:31] <tortoise> blakkheim: I just made another one without that but when I run ./conky-startup it gives me command not found
[05:31] <Flannel> skimj: Depends on how far the upgrade got.  I'd give it a try, and if it errors, stick with apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:31] <blakkheim> tortoise: then put /home/yourusername/.conky-start.sh (or whatever, i forgot the name) in your startup applications?
[05:32] <skimj> Flannel: thanks.
[05:32] <blakkheim> tortoise: you need to chmod +x the file to be able to execute it
[05:32] <jianfei> Hi I am trying to convert MTS to AVI, just wondering what the best app is to use?
[05:32] <blakkheim> jianfei: ffmpeg
[05:32] <gbear12> this make sense to anyone?  .optonline.net) has left #ubuntu
 gbear, if your trying to preserve the symlinks of a dir, try archiving it inst
[05:32] <quiescens> atari2600a: using a mix of different repositories is going to complicate things
[05:32] <tortoise> blakkheim: Oh god.
[05:32] <gbear12> oops...
[05:32] <tortoise> blakkheim: how that escaped my mind will kill me for the rest of the night
[05:32] <jianfei> blakkheim: thx
[05:32] <gbear12> cp Gman\'s\ computer/ /media/My\ Book/Heaton\ Backup/
[05:32] <gbear12> cp: omitting directory `Gman\'s computer/'
[05:33] <r3sno> is there anything obviously wrong between these two files? iwilist wlan scan - and /etc/networking/interfaces - http://dpaste.com/272672/
[05:33] <blakkheim> gbear12: cp need -r for directories
[05:33] <r3sno> Jordan_U: any further comments?
[05:33] <gbear12> I think I just got a "computer says no"
[05:33] <jparks> gbear: cp -r for directories
[05:33] <tortoise> blakkheim: let me test it one more time, I'm pretty confident it will work this time.
[05:33] <blakkheim> tortoise: ok
[05:34] <shebang_wafflesa> gbear: cp -rRL maybe?
[05:34] <gbear12> shebang_wafflesa, I did cp -RL
[05:34] <gbear12> 1st error: cp: cannot copy cyclic symbolic link `Gman\'s computer/AppData/Local/Application Data'
[05:34] <jparks> don't use -L =P
[05:35] <shebang_wafflesa> gbear: try it with the lower case r also (makes it recursive)
[05:35] <gbear12> jparks, I kinda need -L
[05:35] <gbear12> shebang_wafflesa, isn't -r and -R the same thing?
[05:35] <shebang_wafflesa> nope, the switches are case sensitive
[05:35] <jparks> cp "Gman's computer/AppData/Local/Application Data" newlocation -ar
[05:35] <jparks> -arL then
[05:35] <gbear12> shebang_wafflesa, yes but -r and -R are the same switch for cp
[05:36] <gbear12> jparks, what exactly is the archive function?
[05:36] <Jordan_U> r3sno: Can you try changing the ssid? I don't know if it should make a difference but the space, ':', or ')' might need to be escaped somehow.
[05:36] <shebang_wafflesa> gbear: yeah, nvm
[05:36] <jparks> gbear, i'm not sure but i use it when trying to copy links over, seems to work, so i'm not complaining
[05:37] <syn-ack> gbear12: it save file permissions and file access times
[05:37] <Jordan_U> r3sno: Also, what is the output of "sudo ifup eth1"?
[05:37] <syn-ack> rather, saves
[05:37] <Jordan_U> r3sno: Sorry, "sudo ifup wlan0".
[05:37] <syn-ack> Basically all the metadata is saved as is instead of being modified
[05:38] <jparks> man cp gives -a "same as -dpR", which is no dereference (preserve links), preserve attributes and recursive
[05:38] <r3sno> Jordan_U: in my case its eth1 :) but it already configured
[05:38] <gbear12> jparks, I don't know what that means :(
[05:38] <r3sno> Jordan_U: thats the message i get
[05:38] <syn-ack> gbear12: I just told you the same thing he did
[05:38] <syn-ack> I just "dumbed it down" so to say
[05:38] <jparks> i'm not so good at that ;)
[05:39] <gbear12> syn-ack, does that apply to files on an ntfs partition?
[05:39] <syn-ack> gbear12: not really, no
[05:39] <syn-ack> gbear12: There are rare exceptions
[05:39] <jparks> what are you trying to copy?
[05:40] <Jordan_U> r3sno: If that is the name of the interface, that is what you should be using in /etc/network/interfaces, not 'wlan'.
[05:40] <gbear12> syn-ack, honestly I'm not trying to be difficult but I am confused as to the best way to do this... this is 11.8Gb worth of files and it's coming from a ntfs drive going onto a FAT drive... just want to make sure I get it all
[05:40] <jparks> oh
[05:41] <jparks> cp -aR will get it all.. least it should
[05:41] <r3sno> Jordan_U: lol, i did it for simplicity sake for whoever decided to help. ill brb changing router ssid
[05:41] <syn-ack> gbear12: understood. I would just do a straight recursive like jparks just suggested then
[05:41] <squ1d1> is there any sort of sound mixer I can add to a panel?
[05:41] <jparks> rsync is great too
[05:41] <jparks> rsync -av source target
[05:41] <gbear12> jparks, the worst part is... this friend of mine just lost his son... and this laptop has a bunch of pictures on it.  The last thing I want is to accidentally miss some and he lose them...
[05:41] <shebang_wafflesa> gbear: try using tar and bzip2, it'll save a lot of space
[05:41] <Jordan_U> r3sno: Had the exact opposite effect for me. I was very confused :)
[05:42] <jparks> !rsync
[05:42] <jparks> well thats not good enough..
[05:42] <jparks> heh.. well anyway rsync will get all the files
[05:42] <jparks> it basically mirrors the director
[05:42] <jparks> y
[05:42] <r3sno1> Jordan_U: ok back
[05:43] <gbear12> jparks, ok thanks... I'll try rsync as well, to make a 2nd copy just in case
[05:43] <AbhiJit> does the system monitor shows hdden process ?
[05:44] <syn-ack> AbhiJit: it can, yes.
[05:44] <syn-ack> unless it's be compromised.
[05:44] <huang> j h
[05:44] <huang>   h
[05:44] <jparks> gbear12, i do all my backups with rsync.. at work i use a livecd to copy user profiles to the domain server.. it's very powerful and very easy to use =)
[05:44] <quiescens> where shouldn't be anything hidden
[05:44] <quiescens> o.O
[05:44] <gbear12> thanks everyone for the help jparks syn-ack
[05:44] <syn-ack> gbear12: np
[05:44] <jparks> give the man pages a look sometime, "man rsync"
[05:44] <AbhiJit> syn-ack, sys mon shows 741mb ram in use. but if i individual sums the all process using memory then it hardly reaches 150mb.
[05:45] <tortoise> blakkheim: alright, got it working. I made some of the dumbest mistakes I have ever made. But thank you a lot for helping.
[05:45] <gbear12> jparks, I honestly have never used rsync... but have always wanted to learn... guess this is as great a time and reason as any
[05:45] <resno> Jordan_U: im having a hard time finding current descriptions of how /etc/network/interfaces should look
[05:45] <syn-ack> AbhiJit: Probably cache and scheduling.
[05:45] <Jordan_U> resno: man interfaces
[05:45] <AbhiJit> ohh
[05:45] <AbhiJit> ok
[05:45] <AbhiJit> bye
[05:45] <jparks> i noticed it here and there, and for a long time never bothered with it.. one day i got frustrated trying to get bacula to work, and i googled linux backup.. rsync saved my life ;)
[05:46] <blakkheim> tortoise: no prob
[05:46] <jparks> it's pretty quick too
[05:46] <resno> Jordan_U: ah, didnt know it had a man page :)
[05:46] <gbear12> jparks, I eventually want to get it working to backup my lappy to my raid array
[05:47] <jparks> then that'll do the trick... the rsync server is simple to configure
[05:47] <gbear12> jparks, hmm... so I bet rsync can resume a cancelled copy whereas cp cannot
[05:48] <gbear12> i think I've stopped this thing about 3 times now... takes a while to do 11.8Gb to an external
[05:48] <syn-ack> it sure can
[05:48] <gbear12> rock on!
[05:48] <jparks> set it up to copy overnight and check on it in the morning when you wake up ;)
[05:48] <melange> best way to share drives between 2 ubuntu machines on the same network?
[05:48] <jparks> melange: samba is great
[05:49] <melange> i can mount the drives and treat them like regular directories with it?
[05:49] <melange> like when i mount my window drive?
[05:49] <aurilliance> When I try to install xserver-xorg-input-evtouch as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EloTouchScreen X server refuses to start on my netbook. What should I do??
[05:49] <jparks> you can mount a "share" as a "network drive"
[05:49] <melange> cool
[05:50] <melange> can the share be / ?
[05:50] <jparks> i don't believe so, why do you want to share the entire root of the drive?
[05:50] <syn-ack> gbear12: Basically the first thing rsync does is create a skeleton directory that exactly matches the source
[05:50] <tcopeland> speaking of nfs, how do i force unmount an sftp server from a terminal? the connection was closed and unmounting via the nautilus eject icon isn't working.
[05:50] <melange> so it doesn't matter where i access it form
[05:50] <melange> from
[05:50] <jparks> well, what are you trying to share
[05:51] <melange> my laptop and desktop, both running ubuntu, networked together and running synergy
[05:51] <resno> Jordan_U: well its still not working...
[05:51] <jparks> yes, samba should work just fine
[05:51] <syn-ack> tcopeland: force mount it again and then cleanly try to unmount it to get it out of the mtab
[05:51] <jparks> it's a file server compatible with linux and windows
[05:51] <gbear12> syn-ack, so would you say rsync is faster than cp?
[05:51] <syn-ack> absolutely
[05:51] <melange> cool
[05:51] <jparks> you have to create a share, i.e. a folder on one machine which holds all the files you're trying to share
[05:52] <tcopeland> syn-ack: how do i force unmount an sftp connection?
[05:52] <jparks> then you can share that folder over your network to other machines
[05:52] <syn-ack> shoot, that's right
[05:52] <Jordan_U> resno: Did you run "sudo ifdown eth1" then "sudo ifup eth1"?
[05:52] <syn-ack> tcopeland: I didn't parse that the first time around though I did read it
[05:53] <resno> Jordan_U: i generally just  run /etc/init.d/network restart... i did and still no connection
[05:53] <melange> can i share the mounted drives on one machine with the other?
[05:53] <syn-ack> tcopeland: I would then just trying to reconnect and then try to cleanly end the session
[05:53] <melange> like can i access my laptop's xp drive throuh /media/windows via samba?
[05:53] <melange> eerr visat drive
[05:53] <jparks> yes
[05:53] <melange> nice
[05:54] <jparks> you just configure samba to use /media/windows as a share
[05:54] <NemesisD> anyone know of a way to manage wireless networks in xubuntu? don't use any panels
[05:54] <jparks> wicd
[05:54] <melange> yay non-panel xubuntu
[05:54] <NemesisD> jparks: tried that. it was unable to finalize the connection
[05:54] <resno> Jordan_U: i always get "no dhcpoffers recieved"
[05:54] <Rilee2> Hi all
[05:55] <Jordan_U> resno: Do you have a dhcp server?
[05:55] <NemesisD> the wireless card is recognized and can almost connect but cannot authenticate (even if i turn off encryption at the router)
[05:55] <resno> Jordan_U: of course, on my router
[05:55] <jparks> i have a fancy, shiny dual wlan router, and 2 gigabit switches.. i've run cabling through my house because i can't stand the transfer speed of wifi.. wish i could help you out there hehe
[05:55] <resno> NemesisD: seems weve got the same problem
[05:56] <Jordan_U> resno: Can you pastebin the complete output?
[05:56] <NemesisD> resno: i wish i could take comfort in that
[05:56] <resno> Jordan_U: the ifup and ifdown? one sec
[05:57] <NemesisD> whatever happened to using ifup/ifdown for wireless anyways
[05:57] <NemesisD> one day ubuntu just took that away and decided nobody will ever not use a panel applet
[05:58] <resno> Jordan_U: http://dpaste.com/272685/
[05:58] <resno> NemesisD: that works on ubuntu
[05:59] <Jordan_U> netpro: "There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth1.pid with pid 134519072
[05:59] <gbear12> syn-ack, so would rsync -r follow any symlinks and capture their source files?
[05:59] <syn-ack> gbear12: iirc, it should
[05:59] <tcopeland> syn-ack: when i try to reconnect it says it couldn't fetch contents. the ssh vsftpd are up, i checked on ssh
[05:59] <NemesisD> resno: what does?
[05:59] <resno> Jordan_U: im guessing that was towards me... and what importance does the pid file have?
[06:00] <Jordan_U> resno: It means that there is already another dhclient running.
[06:00] <Jordan_U> resno: Can you try setting the interface up with a static ip as a test?
[06:01] <resno> Jordan_U: ive done that too, but ill give it a spin once more
[06:01] <kiran> irc.redhat.com
[06:01] <Sabri> Empathy keeps dropping my Google Talk connection.  It says "No reason specified."
[06:02] <Diamondcite> Sabri: Wifi connection? If so try a wired one.
[06:02] <tiox> Question: If I wanted more things to happen when my computer goes in and out of idle, where would I put these additional commands at?
[06:03] <Sabri> Diamondcite, it's pretty mission critical for me to not switch network connections.
[06:03] <Diamondcite> Sabri: This is more a test scenario..
[06:03] <bob___> anyone here run ubuntu on a intel i5 laptop?
[06:03] <melange> if i have the same login name and password on both amchines can i combine the accounts?
[06:03] <Diamondcite> Sabri: While I have never used google talk, skype often kills my wifi connection randomly.
[06:04] <timo> melange: combine? you can share the home directory, if that's what you mean
[06:04] <melange> ooo
[06:04] <melange> oh wait
[06:04] <melange> no that's not what i mean
[06:04] <Sabri> Diamondcite, it's not my wifi connection dropping.  I've been constantly connected to Ventrilo with ambient background conversation.
[06:04] <melange> like in samba it says i can make it only available to a certain user
[06:04] <resno> Jordan_U: gone static, it gets an ip. which seems uterlly useless to the router
[06:05] <Jordan_U> resno: So you cannot ping the router?
[06:05] <resno> Jordan_U: i can through the wired connection... how can you ping a router on wifi? i can see it if i do a scan
[06:05] <fuzzybunny69y> hey guys for some reason my gnome-panel keeps crashing and restarting and keeps shifting windows that I have open up and down as they reaccomodate for the crashing/respwaning gnome-panel. Prior to this I had the indicator global menu applet enabled and I opened a java program(freemind) and then this problem started happening. If I go into the terminal and type sudo gnome-panel --replace a new top and bottom panel gets created
[06:05] <fuzzybunny69y> but in the window list I can still see a "starting panel" program opening and closing constantly. Does anyone know how I cold fix this?
[06:05] <Diamondcite> (I really need to try the new toys sometimes.. I'm being so outdated x.x)
[06:06] <gbear12> syn-ack, sorry one more question about flags... in the man pages is says this "-L, --copy-links"   how do I do those flags?  is it "-L --copy-links" ?
[06:06] <timo> melange: yes you can. is that what you want? I'm not following you
[06:06] <gbear12> I don't think I keep the comma do I?
[06:06] <rww> gbear12: it means -L or --copy-links. they both do the same thing. pick one.
[06:06] <NemesisD> christ i give up. ill just go back to vanilla ubuntu
[06:06] <syn-ack> gbear12: it's one or the other. They're mutually exclusive
[06:06] <Jordan_U> resno: Without a lot of work you can't have two interfaces on the same network. That may be the entire problem.
[06:07] <gbear12> rww, there seem to be three options in the man pages after the -L flag.  --copy-links, --copy-unsafe-links, and --safe-links.  is the first always the default or...?
[06:07] <tcopeland> syn-ack: do you know the force unmount command for remote drives, specifically sftp?
[06:07] <resno> Jordan_U: ok, one sec ill try that then
[06:08] <syn-ack> tcopeland: I'm not sure about sftp, sorry.
[06:08] <rww> gbear12: -L is the same thing as --copy-links. --copy-unsafe-links and --safe-links are other different options that don't have short forms like -L
[06:08] <gbear12> rww, ok thanks
[06:08] <yuvankumar> hi, i just installed ubuntu 10.0.4 on a lenovo 460 and i can't get my wireless to work. Is this a common problem?
[06:09] <tcopeland> yuvankumar: you may need proprietary drivers installed
[06:09] <Diamondcite> yuvankumar: Please provide more details such as what is your wireless card and did it ever work before?
[06:09] <yuvankumar> sry, i am using a broadcom network card, nope this is the first time i am trying it out after installation
[06:10] <tecnico> tcopeland: did u try ' umount /<mount> '  ???  if that doesn't work then you can lazy unmount a mount that is hung ' umount -l /mount ' ... or if it is an automount you can also restart autofs maybe you'll have luck
[06:10] <Sabri> It's like it connects and then it immediately disconnects me...
[06:10] <Diamondcite> yuvankumar: Did you see something about additional drivers when the system booted? (You can also trigger is manually in System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers)
[06:10] <tcopeland> tecnico: the problem is that i don't know the mount point for remote drives
[06:11] <tecnico> tcopeland: type mount
[06:11] <tecnico> tcopeland: to gget a list of the mounts and the mountpoints
[06:11] <melange> mmmm
[06:11] <melange> samba is awesome
[06:11] <melange> my computers are so connected
[06:11] <tcopeland> tecnico: thank you
[06:11] <panik> do you guys use samba as opposed to NFS?
[06:12] <rlankfo> panik: no
[06:12] <yuvankumar> diamondcite: yeah, it shows the broadcom sta wireless driver is not activated
[06:12] <Diamondcite> yuvankumar: Please activate it
[06:12] <BrianEvo> i just tried to run ubuntu on my low end computer and it was slow :(
[06:12] <BrianEvo> from USB
[06:13] <BrianEvo> whats the minimum requirements?
[06:13] <yuvankumar> diamondcite: the laptop can't get connected to the internet, is there anyway I can do this without connecting to the net?
[06:13] <panik> im running it on a laptop with less than 512k memory right now
[06:13] <Diamondcite> BrianEvo: I know it can run from an N270 netbook off USB.. does it get lower end still?
[06:13] <panik> 512MB  sorry
[06:13] <Diamondcite> yuvankumar: It should not need any connection, the driver SHOULD be on the disc/live enviroment
[06:14] <Diamondcite> Ubuntu can run (somewhat faster than windows vista atleast) in a Pentium3 1GHz with 512MB of SDRAM..
[06:15] <quiescens> if it happens to be old enough to be USB1 then running it from USB will be particularly bad
[06:15] <yuvankumar> oh ok, coz it says faied to fetch http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fakeroot/fakeroot_1.1.4.4-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
[06:15] <yuvankumar> could not resolve my.archive.ubuntu.com
[06:15] <Diamondcite> yuvankumar: Did you alter your sources? Try using the CD/USB drive as the source..
[06:15] <BrianEvo> diamond maybe it was my USB?
[06:16] <BrianEvo> its really a low end computer
[06:16] <R3dINK> wow
[06:16] <Diamondcite> BrianEvo: What about it doesn't work?
[06:16] <BrianEvo> no i only booted from USB
[06:16] <BrianEvo> i never tried any alternative
[06:16] <kaushal> hi
[06:16] <BrianEvo> i just wanted to see what its like
[06:16] <kaushal> can someone please comment on my post in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-November/233969.html
[06:16] <Diamondcite> BrianEvo: Even on a good USB key on a descent system it takes 3-5 minutes to start :)
[06:16] <BrianEvo> maybe i should run it on my main computer
[06:16] <BrianEvo> i got into the Desktop
[06:16] <supasamurai> hello, how do I set the bootable flag using os x?
[06:16] <BrianEvo> its just everytime i click a folder
[06:16] <BrianEvo> takes too long load
[06:17] <Jordan_U> supasamurai: Why do you want to set the boot flag on a partition?
[06:17] <Diamondcite> BrianEvo: That's expected especially if the drive itself is cheap or the port is only USB1
[06:17] <yuvankumar> diamondcite: nope, i didn't do any alteration to the source files. OK, will try it out with the cd. Thanks, mate!
[06:17] <BrianEvo> yea the PORT!
[06:17] <supasamurai> so that I can boot from a usb drive
[06:17] <BrianEvo> that was it
[06:17] <BrianEvo> it has to be stock from back in the day
[06:17] <tecnico> kaushal: your mouse button not working? LOL :)     I couldn't resist
[06:17] <BrianEvo> i dont know much about computers but yes its the port...
[06:17] <supasamurai> thats my suspected problem
[06:18] <Jordan_U> supasamurai: The boot flag is something specific to microsoft's bootloader. It is ignored by grub, and on all but a few very broken BIOSs should make no difference.
[06:18] <BrianEvo> •Diamondcite• i can install it in the harddrive right?
[06:18] <melange> ok smart guys
[06:18] <melange> LAMP the quick and dirty way?
[06:18] <Jordan_U> supasamurai: Apple's BIOS implementation cannot boot from USB.
[06:18] <R3dINK> what are the best methods for mounting ubuntu to workgroups or domains
[06:18] <BrianEvo> Diamondcite:but i still woud like to have a dual
[06:19] <BrianEvo> is that fine?
[06:19] <Diamondcite> BrianEvo: It can installed into the hard drive indeed, but I recommend checking to make sure the key's image is in good condition before doing so.
[06:19] <gbear12> wow...  rsync may have just found the source of all this computers issues...  there was a circular symlink in this guys homedir...
[06:19] <supasamurai> i'm trying to set up a usb stick to boot a netbook from, not my mac
[06:19] <BrianEvo> •Diamondcite• what is the key's image
[06:19] <gbear12> think that would account for slow bootup?
[06:19] <kaushal> tecnico: I have used alt-f1 and then tried selecting it
[06:19] <gbear12> think windows...
[06:19] <xscroll> Jordan_U: apple doesn't use a bios, it uses an EFI
[06:19] <kaushal> it still did not worked
[06:19] <Diamondcite> BrianEvo: Part of the installation is partitioning, it will let you split the drive between "other os" and linux.
[06:19] <gbear12> hell I'll go ask the windows guys
[06:19] <tecnico> melange: quick? a bitnami stack or VM appliance.. works pretty good
[06:19] <BrianEvo> ko
[06:19] <R3dINK> lol
[06:19] <Jordan_U> xscroll: They implement the BIOS interface as well.
[06:20] <BrianEvo> Diamondcite:i ran the WUBI installer
[06:20] <BrianEvo> Diamondcite:tahts gonna give me the option to install
[06:20] <BrianEvo> Diamondcite:right?
[06:20] <panik> so I'm trying to download files from the Internet with firefox to a remote NFS share with rw-rw-rw- permissions.  It seems to default to rw-r--r-- permissions.  Anyone know the best way to change that?
[06:20] <kaushal> tecnico: please suggest further
[06:20] <Diamondcite> BrianEvo: I have NEVER used the WUBI installer personally, only the live enviroment
[06:20] <melange> I have
[06:20] <melange> it works great
[06:20] <BrianEvo> •Diamondcite• ok i think i should be fine let me try it
[06:21] <Diamondcite> BrianEvo: Good night, I need to sleep
[06:21] <BrianEvo> •Diamondcite• how much space you think i should give fo ubuntu?
[06:21] <BrianEvo> •Diamondcite• ok thanks!
[06:21] <Diamondcite> BrianEvo: It should fit in in 8GB if you aren't downloading much)
[06:21] <melange> BrianEvo: feel free to be conservative
[06:21] <BrianEvo> yea
[06:21] <BrianEvo> just wanna play around with it
[06:21] <melange> You can always mount your windows partition
[06:21] <Jordan_U> supasamurai: How did you setup the flash drive and what happens when you try to boot from it?
[06:21] <tecnico> panik look at your umask
[06:21] <supasamurai> I followed the directions on the ubuntu download page (for windows) but it just made a dead stick.
[06:22] <ghoti> Is there a Nagios plugin that summarizes debsecan results?
[06:22] <melange> unetbootin?
[06:22] <supasamurai> it says "missing operating system"
[06:22] <melange> that's how i do stick installs
[06:22] <panik> 0022
[06:23] <tecnico> that's why
[06:23] <panik> okay I just need to change that default
[06:23] <Jordan_U> supasamurai: Have you been able to boot other USB drives with this netbook?
[06:23] <panik> sir, you are a genious
[06:23] <supasamurai> I used the "universal USB installer"
[06:24] <tecnico> panik, just don't unmask the world.. or you'll end up with o+rw  and don't want that
[06:24] <eason> hello
[06:24] <panik> so just do it to the NFS share then
[06:24] <supasamurai> yes, it's had quite a few installs on it before, I just haven't done it in so long I forgot how to.
[06:25] <supasamurai> I figgered it would just work, but I guess that was too much to ask.
[06:25] <tecnico> umask is applies to all processes owned by the user.. I WISH there was a way to do umasks per directory
[06:26] <resno> Jordan_U: well, thanks for your help. still no progress but im done trying for tonight
[06:26] <i5_laptop> anyone here run ubuntu on an intel i5 laptop
[06:26] <gbear12> yeah I think this is an i5
[06:26] <OY1R> when i plug an usb sound card in, all audio seems to be routed to it, when i unplug it audio is back to the internal audio card.
[06:26] <i5_laptop> gbear12: Which one have you got?
[06:26] <gbear12> let me check
[06:27] <Jordan_U> resno: You're welcome. Hope you have more luck in the future.
[06:27] <OY1R> i neet to stop this, i only need to use the usb sound card for one program Fldigi
[06:28] <gbear12> oops... maybe not i5_laptop I have a T8300... nbm
[06:28] <gbear12> nvm*
[06:28] <gbear12> not my cpu... sorry... just figured it was
[06:29] <i5_laptop> gbear12: so which laptop do you have?
[06:29] <sdlinxj> Hello\
[06:29] <mouse_> I know this will seem and possibly is a small issue but I use it and miss it so much that I have to find a solution.  How do I get the tooltip that displays the volume % when I hover over the volume icon working in ubuntu 10.04?
[06:29] <supasamurai> @Jordan_U I'm not much of a windows 7 fan, so I put the stick in the mac to check it out and the mac seems to think it's bootable flag is off.
[06:29] <gbear12> dv6000
[06:29] <kaushal> checking in again if there is a solution to that issue
[06:30] <bullgard4> http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Database: "With Base, you can view a table in an editing grid and add, change, and delete records." What is an "editing grid"?
[06:30] <i5_laptop> gbear12: did you have any problems when installing ubuntu?
[06:31] <gbear12> nope
[06:31] <Jordan_U> supasamurai: You should be able to mark a partition as active/bootable with Disk Utility, but unless your netbook has a very broken BIOS it shouldn't make a difference.
[06:31] <gbear12> i5_laptop, you saw that I said I "didn't" have an i5 right?
[06:31] <gbear12> unless a T8300 is an i5
[06:32] <supasamurai> well lets assume it's a very broken bios, how do I do that with diskutil?
[06:32] <campee> is there a maximum size disk that you can install ubuntu 10.04 on? i have a 6TB RAID 5 virtual disk that i am able to install ubuntu onto fine but after boot it says "error: file not found. <grub-rescue>". i've tried this a couple of times now, each time i completely wiped out all of the existing partitions off the disk and did a fresh install choosing to "use entire disk".
[06:32] <gbear12> supasamurai, if it's a very broken BIOS... I don't think you'd be able to boot
[06:33] <supasamurai> boots windows 7 just fine
[06:33] <i5_laptop> gbear12: yeah i know.. i am buying a new laptop.. i wanted a fairly powerful machine (hence the i5), but I am new to unix and also wanted something that ubuntu will install to without a lot of hassle
[06:33] <supasamurai> booted osx and ubuntu before just fine too, as long as I had the boot flag set properly.
[06:33] <gbear12> campee, why don't you make a smaller root partition and then access the raid array as a seperate parttion
[06:34] <gbear12> i5_laptop, ah... I've always had thinkpads
[06:34] <gbear12> i5_laptop, what are you trying to do?
[06:34] <campee> gbear12: i guess i will try that. thanks for the suggestion
[06:34] <i5_laptop> gbear12: I will be using it mainly to develop java
[06:35] <gbear12> campee, thats what I did with my array... but I bought an actual ssd for the OS... a small one, then built up the raid array out of spinning disks
[06:35] <gbear12> campee, just a thought
[06:35] <gbear12> i5_laptop, you probably don't need anything powerful then... unless you are running games or video editing... you won't need much
[06:36] <kaushal> can someone please comment on my post in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-November/233969.html
[06:36] <i5_laptop> gbear12: k you always had thinkpads.. and ubuntu installs ok?
[06:36] <gbear12> I'll let someone counter me, but my next machine will likely be an ultraportable (like an x201) because all I do is watch tv and movies, and surf and code
[06:37] <gbear12> i5_laptop, yeah, linux and IBM have good history.  Lenovo has seemed to have done well so far, at least with their thinkpad lines... I also like them because they are tanks!  they take ALOT of abuse and keep on going
[06:37] <UndiFineD> gbear12, the next system I want is a z10
[06:37] <echointhewin> hello all
[06:37] <echointhewin> i have a question
[06:38] <kanika> Hello, i am using ubuntu 10.04 . i have installed windows xp too.now my grub has been lost. how can i recover it ?
[06:38] <supasamurai> so anyone got help with the boot flag?
[06:38] <gbear12> UndiFineD, might not fit in your bag when you travel
[06:38] <gbear12> ;)
[06:38] <supasamurai> maybe an open source windows tool to set boot flags?
[06:38] <echointhewin> i am looked to start running ubuntu again but i need to keep windows on my system, so my question is can you duel boot ubuntu and windows
[06:38] <gbear12> UndiFineD, would you even be able to use more than 1% of that thing?
[06:39] <supasamurai> free version of fdisk for windows 7 or something like that?
[06:39] <shcherbak> supasamurai: ubuntu live cd?
[06:39] <supasamurai> no cd drive on a netbook.
[06:39] <mouse_> echointhewin, Is that a trick question or do you really not know cause yes you can.
[06:39] <jianfei> how do i get gwibber to autostart when i login?
[06:39] <tecnico> kanika the long technical answer is that you can use some livecd to get into recovery mode to be able to chroot into your system and then rerun the grub-install
[06:40] <shcherbak> supasamurai: use bootable usb
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> !startup | jianfei
[06:40] <Petskull> hey- anyone here play glest?
[06:40] <tecnico> kanika and don't forget to add windows to your grub configuration
[06:40] <supasamurai> yeah, how do I get the USB to boot?
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | Petskull
[06:40] <supasamurai> thats the question.
[06:40] <lewis1711> is it possible to roll back to the old flash? ever since the update sound has been crap on youtube vids etc
[06:40] <Petskull> goood point
[06:40] <gbear12> i5_laptop, not sure if you've been reading but taking a live CD or a bootable thumbdrive with you to the store is the best way to find a compatible computer
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> supasamurai: try pressing F11 at post
[06:41] <i5_laptop> gbear12: ahhh.. thats a damn good idea
[06:41] <gbear12> i5_laptop, pop in the cd or thumdrive, reboot the machine in store and then try it out before you buy it....  Thats really good advice I've heard a couple of places
[06:41] <supasamurai> to what end, selecting the drive? it's f9 on this one and it says "missing operating system"
[06:41] <Petskull> Glest defaults to a tiny resolution.  The boards say to find the ~/.glest folder and change it in an ini file.
[06:41] <tecnico> kanika, there are also ways to add an entry on the windows bootloader to jump to your linux boot, so instead of using grub
[06:41] <Petskull> trick is- I got no such folder
[06:41] <Petskull> so... um... now what?
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> supasamurai: did you md5 test the iso you transferred?
[06:42] <kanika> @technico, how can i add that configuration ?
[06:42] <shcherbak> supasamurai: are you using linux?
[06:42] <i5_laptop> gbear12: thanks mate
[06:42] <mouse_> How do I get the tooltip that displays the volume % when I hover over the volume icon working in ubuntu 10.04?
[06:42] <tecnico> kanika: google :)
[06:42] <supasamurai> I'm using windows 7 and osx to install ubuntu
[06:42] <Petskull> I'm wondering if I should roll my own
[06:42] <Jordan_U> supasamurai: Try asking in ##mac for how to set the boot flag on OSX.
[06:43] <tecnico> kanika: I was just giving you guidance on ways to do it.. but have to google the detauils
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> supasamurai: expensive system you got there
[06:43] <kanika> @technico, thanks.
[06:43] <kanika> quit
[06:44] <aurilliance> ActionParsnip, hithere!
[06:44] <mouse_> supasamurai, I haven't been paying that much attention to what's going on with you but have you tried checking the usb in gparted to see if the flag is properly set to boot?
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> Hi aurilliance
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> supasamurai: did you md5 test the iso you used?
[06:44] <supasamurai> @mouse_ tell me how to get gparted onto a mac or windows machine
[06:45] <mouse_> supasamurai, You could always download the gparted boot .iso or any linux distro and burn it to cd then boot into it and run gparted from there.
[06:46] <echointhewin> -p
[06:46] <tcopeland> does anyone know where network devices are mounted to when using nautilus's "connect to server"?
[06:46] <JoeMaverickSett> supasamurai: check here, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
[06:46] <gbear12> tcopeland, try /media
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> tcopeland: $HOME/.gvfs try
[06:47] <gbear12> i'm going to bet ActionParsnip is right
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> tcopeland: or manually mount to where you desire
[06:48] <karthick87> how to install pysqlite in ubuntu?
[06:48] <tcopeland> gbear12, ActionParsnip: thank you. but $HOME/.gvfs takes a long time to load and even freezes nautilus. but i guess i'll wait for it
[06:48] <gbear12> if I manually execute rsync... does it ever stop syncing? lol... this thing has been running forever
[06:48] <supasamurai> so your solution is to download and burn linux onto a cd and boot my mac from that cd in order to set a simple boot flag in order to install linux on a totally different computer?
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> tcopeland: try accessing it in terminal
[06:48] <gbear12> supasamurai, lol, sounds like a fun night ;)
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> supasamurai: you haven't answered my question yet. Its important.
[06:49] <tcopeland> ActionParsnip: what's the command to list files in a directory?
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> tcopeland: ls
[06:49] <supasamurai> what the ommand to do that in mac's terminal?
[06:49] <tcopeland> ActionParsnip: thank you
[06:49] <mouse_> supasamurai, If all you want to do is install linux onto another computer then it helps to have either a bootable usb or cd.  You don't seem to have the first so I suggest the latter.
[06:49] <blakkheim> supasamurai: "mac's terminal" is also bash
[06:49] <supasamurai> or at the c prompt?
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> supasamurai: do what?
[06:50] <supasamurai> test the md5 checksums
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> supasamurai: wait, so you didn't md5 test?
[06:50] <furi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1616015
[06:50] <supasamurai> @blakkheim I ould be using any number of different shells on my mac actually.
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> supasamurai: so how did you know the iso was complete or consistant?
[06:51] <blakkheim> supasamurai: not by default, but i know it includes others like zsh etc.
[06:51] <rkhshm> is this the place to ask for some core iostat questions ?
[06:52] <tcopeland> ActionParsnip: the output was ".:"
[06:52] <pabstsmear> I keep having a similar problem, I was burning cds and they would fail, so I started computing the checksums and lo and behold, they were not even close.
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> tcopeland: then the directory is empty
[06:52] <gbear12> ActionParsnip, if he got it from bittorrent it would automatically md5 check wouldn't it?   (or some other integrity check)
[06:53] <supasamurai> actually I did get it from bit torrent
[06:53] <furi> can someone please check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1616015
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> gbear12: it does some hashing but its good to test (and quick too)
[06:53] <pabstsmear> wouldn't you have to download the md5 hash seperately to have something to check against?
[06:53] <tcopeland> ActionParsnip: well, there was a blank line not a $USER@$LOCALHOST~$:. maybe i had to wait for it to list more?
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> supasamurai: ok then I suggest you retransfer the data, remake the usb
[06:54] <jianfei> can I boot an existing windows xp partition using virtualbox?
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> tcopeland: afaik, when its outputted its done
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> jianfei: sure
[06:54] <pabstsmear> if one source fails you can always try another.  I would go with either ftp or http so you can compute the checksum yourself.
[06:54] <gbear12> is it normal for an rsync to cause your xchat to sieze up?  I'm guessing it must have something to do with the disk i/o being used up... but still... didn't think it would give me grey outs on xchat
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> jianfei: i'd ask in #vbox
[06:54] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: hi
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> Hi kaushal
[06:54] <jianfei> ActionParsnip: great! many thanks
[06:54] <supasamurai> so how do I check the md5 on a mac?
[06:54] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: can someone please comment on my post in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-November/233969.html
[06:55] <nit-wit> jianfei, its been done look on the web.
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> !md5 s supasamurai
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | supasamurai
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> gbear12: could set a higher nice value, give it a lower priority
[06:58] <furi> i'm trying to get my computer to boot correctly, but it's saying open sound system failed to start. i'm currently on a livecd running xubuntu. i have access to my filesystem. what should i do?
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: could reset your panels to defaults, may help
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> furi: did you test the cd. For defects?
[06:59] <R3dINK> mmount smb ??
[06:59] <furi> ActionParsnip: no, actually
[06:59] <furi> ActionParsnip: how come?
[07:00] <naxa> hi! do you know where strange notebook model numbers come from? like Packard Bell TK F4036-011HG. many hungarian shops sell it, but i couldn't find it on the pb website, nor any non-hungarian results... is there a per country or per europe modelling?! i noticed similar with acer, too...
[07:00] <gbear12> nice only has to do with CPU doesn't it?
[07:00] <melange> So the final step
[07:00] <gbear12> also... this is weird... I would think that xchat would run solely in RAM...  wouldn't it?
[07:00] <melange> Is it possible to share sound between 2 ubuntu machines?
[07:00] <melange> with 1 set of speakers
[07:01] <gbear12> yeah, get a y patch cable melange
[07:01] <melange> over a network though?
[07:01] <tecnico> melange: look into a network sound mgr
[07:01] <gbear12> network has nothing to do with it melange.  Take the speaker out from both machines... splice them together... and feed them into the speaker
[07:01] <nagualshroom> yeah, try running all thru the same pulseaudio server
[07:02] <melange> on the one with the speakers or without?
[07:02] <furi> i'm trying to get my computer to boot correctly, but it's saying open sound system failed to start. i'm currently on a livecd running xubuntu. i have access to my filesystem. what should i do?
[07:02] <timo> melange: I think pulseaudio or something similar might be what you're looking for
[07:03] <melange> But should I run it on the machine I want to send audio to or the one i want to get audo from?
[07:03] <melange> the one with the speakers or the one with no speakers?
[07:03] <nagualshroom> both
[07:03] <melange> ok
[07:03] <gbear12> ok... whoever said rsync is faster than cp... I don't believe you anymore... :(
[07:03] <nagualshroom> install everything that searches 'pulseaudio' in synaptic
[07:03] <tecnico> it is when you are syncing
[07:03] <tecnico> re-syncyng
[07:03] <gbear12> tecnico, I'm just copying...
[07:04] <nagualshroom> uninstall open sound system, just use alsa
[07:04] <nagualshroom> ??
[07:04] <melange> it's already installed :)
[07:04] <kapitaw> how do i join servers if they're not listed and when i type them it says they don't exist?
[07:05] <tecnico> gbear12: maybe you added verbosity? that'll slow it down
[07:05] <gbear12> tecnico, rsync -rL
[07:05] <furi> i'm trying to get my computer to boot correctly, but it's saying open sound system failed to start. i'm currently on a livecd running xubuntu. i have access to my filesystem. what should i do?
[07:06] <hans863> anyone can help me set the right resolution on my ubuntu box?
[07:06] <georges> part
[07:06] <tecnico> gbear12: -a  is generally all you need .. it's like a swissknife it works for most common uses    (rsync -a SRC DST)
[07:06] <supasamurai> md5 checks out
[07:07] <nagualshroom> it doesnt boot up because of the sound?
[07:07] <tecnico> gbear12: though that won't do anything about your speed/latency/throughput issue
[07:07] <hans863> noone can help me?
[07:07] <furi> nagualshroom: yes
[07:07] <JoeMaverickSett> hans863: have you tried System > Preferences > Monitors and tried the different monitor options?
[07:07] <hans863> yes
[07:07] <blackshirt> hans863: what your problem ??
[07:07] <furi> nagualshroom: it goes like...
[07:07] <JoeMaverickSett> hans863: does it not work?
[07:07] <furi> nagualshroom:  * Starting Open Sound System:            [fail]
[07:07] <furi>  * Setting console screen modes and fonts
[07:07] <hans863> my monitor is acer at 1716
[07:09] <gbear12> i'm going to take a nap while rsync finished
[07:09] <gbear12> how long should I sleep for?
[07:09] <gbear12> its 1am now  :(
[07:09] <gbear12> 2 hours sounds about right...
[07:10] <R3dINK> how do you view network shares from ubuntu CLI net view ?
[07:10] <gbear12> gnight for now everyone... happy computing
[07:10] <JoeMaverickSett> hans863: try this out, http://www.myokyawhtun.com/ubuntu-linux/how-to-change-custom-resolution-in-ubuntu-10.html
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> !away > gbear_napping
[07:10] <furi> i'm trying to get my computer to boot correctly, but it's saying open sound system failed to start. i'm currently on a livecd running xubuntu. i have access to my filesystem. what should i do?
[07:11] <gbear_napping> ActionParsnip, thanks!  didn't know about the /away command
[07:11] <hans_> i'm back , my monitor just went crazy again
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> gbear_napping: thanks :)
[07:11] <tecnico> R3dINK: smb shares?  smbclient -L  ....
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> furi: chroot to the installed system and run: sudo update-grub
[07:12] <hans_> so i am in the nvidia x server settings
[07:12] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: how do i reset panel to defaults ?
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> R3dINK: smbtree ,will list shares
[07:12] <furi> ActionParsnip: so it'd be like:
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> !resetpanel
[07:12] <hans_> i need help :(
[07:12] <furi> ActionParsnip: chroot /media/randomletters/
[07:12] <furi> ActionParsnip: then

[07:13] <R3dINK> thx
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> furi: may need sudo, there are guides about fixing grub2 with chroot
[07:13] <furi> ActionParsnip: not sure about chroot
[07:13] <hans_> someone can help me with my graphics card/monitor problems?
[07:13] <kaushal> ok
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> furi: there are lots of guides online about it
[07:13] <furi> ActionParsnip: chroot changes the root, right?
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> hans_: wassup?
[07:13] <furi> ActionParsnip: the actual filesystem is in media as "4c05fc3c-5f88-4960-919e-263f64d35dc9"
[07:14] <melange> ugh i am having trouble finding intelligible pulseaudio documentation
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> furi: yes the apps and config will be the ones of the installed os
[07:14] <furi> ActionParsnip: so if i chroot, everything changes?
[07:14] <Jordan_U> supasamurai: OSX has fdisk.
[07:14] <melange> do i want to use multicast/rtp sender/receiver with nospeakers/speakers?
[07:14] <furi> ActionParsnip: and it works like: chroot dir
[07:14] <furi> ActionParsnip: right?
[07:14] <hans_> ok, well i have a acer al 1716 monitor
[07:15] <R3dINK> ActionParsnip: is there more to that than smbtree deltree
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> furi: as far as I know, yes
[07:15] <hans_> and i am trying to display the desktop at 1280 x1024 pixels
[07:15] <furi> ActionParsnip: that kinda worries me, the "afaik" bit
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> R3dINK: what do you want to achieve?
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> furi: then verify online
[07:16] <R3dINK> Full list of Shares and paths
[07:16] <R3dINK> I cant mount
[07:16] <JoeMaverickSett> hans_: so monitors options in System > Preferences do not work?
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> !smbmount | R3dINK
[07:16] <brahmana> hi all
[07:17] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: did not work
[07:17] <R3dINK> yea no pass
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> R3dINK: there's smbmount you can use, or add entries in /fstab to mount at boot
[07:17] <R3dINK> so i  need sam data
[07:17] <brahmana> I am running 10.04 in vmware but the keyboard mapping has gone haywire
[07:17] <Daghdha> Hi guys
[07:18] <dhruba> Hi
[07:18] <furi> ActionParsnip: tried chroot, now what should i do? i kinda forgot.
[07:18] <syn-ack> brahmana: yeah, that's a bug. The only work around I've found for it is to install with alternate disk
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> brahmana: i'd ask. In #vmware and make sure the server config is good
[07:18] <Jordan_U> campee: Are you still here?
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> furi: scroll up
[07:18] <brahmana> No matter what key I press it always results in a number
[07:18] <syn-ack> brahmana: you're on a laptop, right?
[07:18] <furi> ActionParsnip: forgot to mention, i decided to make myself a superuser instead of using sudo because i heard you have to be a superuser to do the chroot
[07:18] <brahmana> ActionParsnip: server config >
[07:18] <JoeMaverickSett> hans_: if you are unable to alter the options in Monitor, give this a try, http://www.myokyawhtun.com/ubuntu-linux/how-to-change-custom-resolution-in-ubuntu-10.html
[07:18] <brahmana> syn-ack: yes
[07:19] <brahmana> syn-ack: It worked well on two other laptops.
[07:19] <hans_> thanks
[07:19] <furi> ActionParsnip: /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib: 38: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied
[07:19] <furi> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
[07:19] <Daghdha> My connection dies everytime when doing big transfers, i had to reboot untill i found disable/enable the NIC also restarts it. However after having done this tree times on my current-sesssion it's been up for over a day now. Pretty amazing.
[07:19] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: Do you want me to try something different ?
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> brahmana: yes, the guests are running on a software server. It holds the config for each vm
[07:19] <brahmana> syn-ack: I copied the VM to this laptop and its gone haywire
[07:19] <dhruba> I have setup a Hypervisor with KVM on CentOS. Over that I have created 3 Ubuntu 10.04 Virtual Servers and 1 Windows 2003 Server. How can I access a Pen drive from within the Ubuntu Servers? Host is detecting the media but not the guest.
[07:19] <Daghdha> Tonight -if it's stillup- i will hamme rit with some massive copies from and to windows over SMB.
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> furi: then your chroot needs extra options
[07:19] <syn-ack> brahmana: hrm, don't know.
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: that's all I got. I don't use crappy gnome
[07:20] <Daghdha> fingers crossed :P
[07:20] <furi> ActionParsnip: such as what?
[07:20] <damascene> I can not mount my flash memory "/dev/mapper/udisks-luks-uuid-27e76115-1fda-4a2b-8f26-4b46db92d9ad-uid1000 is mounted"
[07:20] <brahmana> syn-ack: btw, I did not understand what you meant by the "alternate disk install". What was that?
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> dhruba: does hypervisor allow folder sharing to guests?
[07:20] <damascene> it's ext4 encrypted
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> !chroot | furi
[07:21] <yahya> hi, i'm having a problem with my wireless connection, i can connect to the network, but can't browse. I  am running ubuntu 10.04, broadcom wireless card
[07:21] <dhruba> No. How can I do that?
[07:21] <syn-ack> brahmana: it's another method of installing Ubuntu.
[07:21] <rinku_kokiri> anyone know how to block/ignore a yahoo contact with Telepathy?
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> furi: instead of just asking you can webseaerch using the direction given.
[07:21] <yahya> how do  i check if the wireless card is properly installed?
[07:21] <brahmana> syn-ack: A link or some such info which I can read up?
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> dhruba: ask in ##windows hypervisor is a windows app
[07:22] <syn-ack> brahmana: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> yahya: sudo iwlist scan ,will show access points if it is
[07:23] <rinku_kokiri> Is it possible to block/ignore a yahoo contact with Telepathy?
[07:23] <brahmana> syn-ack: You basically mean Easy Install creates this problem?
[07:23] <syn-ack> brahmana: yep
[07:24] <cmunn> can anyone help for a quick second?
[07:24] <JoeMaverickSett> rinku_kokiri: have you tried right click on the contact, i think there is an option there.
[07:24] <syn-ack> brahmana: And to be absolutely honest, I haven't personally taken the time to hack the easy install script to fix it
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: i'd imagine so
[07:24] <JoeMaverickSett> !anyone | cmunn
[07:25] <rinku_kokiri> I wouldnt be here if it had such an option JoeMaverickSett
[07:25] <brahmana> syn-ack: ok..
[07:25] <cmunn> here is a easy question I hope. I'm very new at linux but have a moderate background in networking to pick it up. I setup a server at my house and configured it for dhcp, dns, and mail server
[07:25] <brahmana> syn-ack: so, no way to fix my current installation?
[07:25] <rinku_kokiri> ActionParsnip:~# i can 'remove'
[07:25] <rinku_kokiri> but is that block/ignore?
[07:25] <cmunn> after two days of a lot of reading everything works but one thing
[07:25] <JoeMaverickSett> rinku_kokiri: ah, sorry. :-/
[07:25] <syn-ack> brahmana: Hell, I'm just now downloading the new version of VMware Workstation that works with Mav and I've had Mav installed for months already.
[07:25] <rinku_kokiri> JoeMaverickSett:~# tis okay
[07:25] <brahmana> syn-ack: Because there is a lot of data in there
[07:25] <cmunn> emails are getting flagged on outgoing mail as spam cause when i do a mxlookup its coming back as 127.0.0.10
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: not sure, I don't use it myself
[07:26] <rinku_kokiri> JoeMaverickSett:~# i just really don't wanna reboot into windows for anything
[07:26] <yahya> ActionParsnip: thx, i am able to connect to the wireless network, but I can;t surf the net
[07:26] <syn-ack> brahmana: I'm sure there my be, I just don't know it yet since I've not taken the time to explore.
[07:26] <bellHead> I'm looking to get a new ThinkPad. Any models that there are known compatibility/driver problems with?
[07:26] <yahya>  i read from the ubuntu forums that i have to add this line to etc/network/interfaces: iface wlan0 inet dhcp .Will that allow me to browse the internet
[07:26] <ft_mn> hi! im having a really dificult time to find a specific word (lets say "special_word") on a big file and put it on a $variable in my script... i know it should be a piece of cake but im new in shell scripting
[07:26] <brahmana> syn-ack: Ok.
[07:26] <maco> yahya: no
[07:26] <cmunn> ive set everything up without asking a question and its 230am and way to tired to read much more lol
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> yahya: can you ping 8.8.8.8 over the wireless?
[07:26]  * brahmana hopes to find a way to get back his VM working.. 
[07:26] <maco> yahya: thatd be one of a handful of lines youd need to be able to configure the wireless in the interfaces file. its an alternative way of doing configuration
[07:27] <maco> yahya: if you can do waht ActionParsnip said, then check your /etc/resolv.conf to see if you have a dns server
[07:27] <brahmana> syn-ack: thanks for the info.. and any more suggestions are definitely welcome.
[07:27] <rinku_kokiri> ActionParsnip:~# on a side note, i'm currently listening to youtube with NO problems :D
[07:27] <ft_mn> hi! im having a really dificult time to find a specific word (lets say "special_word") on a big file and put it on a $variable in my script... i know it should be a piece of cake but im new in shell scripting
[07:27] <syn-ack> brahmana: I'll let you know what I figure out when I get the time
[07:27] <shcherbak> ft_mn: variable=$(grep -o special_word < thatile)
[07:27] <yahya> ActionParsnip: yup, I can ping 8.8.8.8, I can also ping other computers on the network, resolv.conf also has the correct dns
[07:27] <rinku_kokiri> went to my onboard, just hate it cause it's really quiet... (small speakers and only one output) ActionParsnip
[07:28] <shcherbak> ft_mn: < not needed, ups
[07:28] <ft_mn> shcherbak: thanks body
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: get bigger speakers then
[07:28] <shcherbak> ft_mn: but it does not make sens
[07:28] <yahya> but i cannot ping www.google.com
[07:28] <ft_mn> shcherbak: what do u mean?
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> rinku_kokiri: also run: alsamixer ,and crank all levels
[07:28] <rinku_kokiri> ActionParsnip:~# that requires money that isn't going in my gas tank or belly
[07:28] <rinku_kokiri> lol
[07:28] <kidir> hi
[07:28] <shcherbak> ft_mn: is you know word, why you need to search for it?
[07:28] <rinku_kokiri> and did :D
[07:29] <shcherbak> is=if
[07:29] <kidir> netdiscover
[07:29] <Genevieve> hello
[07:29] <shcherbak> word=world
[07:29] <mAniAk-_-> so how does one go about to fix locales in ubuntu? i want english everywhere with swedish keyboard. http://pastie.org/1281803
[07:29] <furi> if i am using chroot, how can i get the display to work correctly with gnome-terminal?
[07:29] <Genevieve> i'm new to ubuntu(and Linux in general)
[07:29] <sunit> hello
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> ft_mn: grep "$var" /path/to/folder ,should do
[07:29] <ft_mn> shcherbak: oh man i wanted to keep the word AFTER the special_word in my $variable...plz help again
[07:29] <mouse_> How do I get the tooltip that displays the volume % when I hover over the volume icon working in ubuntu 10.04?
[07:30] <sunit> I am using ubuntu 9.10 desktop
[07:30] <Genevieve> I have a question, I hope someone here can answer it
[07:30] <Genevieve> I'm trying ubuntu for the first time. I'm running an HP mini netbook that comes preloaded with windows 7 starter
[07:30] <rinku_kokiri> heh
[07:30] <Genevieve> I downloaded ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition
[07:31] <sunit> I am trying to access the machine remotely with http://<ip>
[07:31] <rinku_kokiri> windows 7 starter, no network printing *kinda*...  lets you print upsidedown and backwards (yes, that's right)
[07:31] <shcherbak> ft_mn: righto
[07:31] <Genevieve> but I can't activate the broadcom sta wireless network driver
[07:31] <ft_mn> shcherbak: what?
[07:31] <sunit> but I can't establish a connection
[07:31] <Genevieve> when I do a complete install, the driver just doesn't seem to exist
[07:31] <shcherbak> ft_mn: so variable=$(AFTER), right?
[07:32] <sunit> But I can access the ubuntu machine with ssh
[07:32] <Genevieve> when i do it booting from liveUSB, the driver appears, but cannot be activated
[07:32] <rinku_kokiri> sunit do you have a web server running on the machine?
[07:32] <sunit> yes tomcat 6 is running
[07:32] <aidrocsid> well it seems synergy disconnects if i try to use any sound on mysecond machine
[07:32] <aidrocsid> so that's that lol
[07:33] <rinku_kokiri> sunit:~# with a valid page setup?
[07:33] <Genevieve> without the driver activated, I have no internet access, so I need a way to activate the driver from the start
[07:33] <maco> Genevieve: sudo jockey-text -a ?
[07:33] <sunit> yes, becuase a web based application openbravo erp is running
[07:34] <ft_mn> shcherbak:  lets say my file is something like--->    special_static_word word_that_always_changes_and_i_wanna_keep bla bla bla EOF
 I'm new to linux, so I'm not familiar with too many commands yet
[07:34] <shcherbak> ft_mn: oh!
[07:34] <maco> Genevieve: try that one
[07:34] <sunit> Rinku ,using tomcat , I am accessing openbravo with http://localhost:8080/openbravomp14/security/Login_FS.html
[07:34] <maco> Genevieve: jockey is the hardware driver manager. that one tells it to enable everything it can
[07:35] <shcherbak> ft_mn: google "while read line bash" you can assign variable in the loop
[07:35] <shcherbak> !abs > ft_mn
[07:35] <shcherbak> !abs | ft_mn
[07:36] <Genevieve> maco: I'll give it a try
[07:36] <rinku_kokiri> sunit:~# and you can access it locally, but if you try remotely?
[07:36] <maco> Genevieve: is it on a wired connection by chance?
[07:36] <Genevieve> no... that's part of the problem...that's why i need the driver to work
[07:36] <sunit> I can't access with http://<ip>
[07:36] <maco> Genevieve: it might be trying to download the wireless driver when you tell it to enable...
[07:37] <rinku_kokiri> sunit:~# and it's all inside the same subnet?
[07:37] <Genevieve> when i boot from usb, the driver appears in the 3rd party adapter app, but doesn't in the installed version
[07:37] <ft_mn> shcherbak: ok man thanks alot
[07:37] <sunit> so I cant access with browser openbravo remotely
[07:37] <Eryn_1983_FL> hi peeps
[07:37] <maco> Genevieve: try plugging in the usb thingy? might be able to install the driver from that...
[07:38] <rinku_kokiri> sunit:~# have you tried http://<ip>:port
[07:38] <shcherbak> ft_mn: I understand that you want to feed your script, there is few ways to do it. you can make extra (spoof) column and use grep or tail it or many more
[07:38] <sunit> yes
[07:38] <rinku_kokiri> hrm
[07:39] <Genevieve> maco: i tried sudo jockey-text -a. came up with "downloading package indexes failed. check network status"
[07:39] <furi> if i am using chroot, how can i get the display to work correctly with gnome-terminal?
[07:39] <Genevieve> when I try downloading the driver off the usb install disk, i get the error "dependencies not satisfied: dkms"
[07:39] <maco> Genevieve: i think you're going to need to find a wired connection once to download it, and then after that it should keep working
[07:39] <ft_mn> shcherbak: ill try to find a trick .... thanks for ur time though :D
[07:39] <lolmaus> Anyone using backup-manager?
[07:40] <ectospasm> sunit: is the service actually running?  Check "netstat -altp" to see if anything it listening on the HTTP ports
[07:40] <ectospasm> sunit: you'll need to do that as root to get -p to work
[07:40] <Genevieve> maco: there's no where to download it, save it to the usb drive, then install? it HAS to be from ubuntu directly?
[07:40] <shcherbak> ft_mn: have you thought of (is there only one world in file) variable=$(cat that/file)
[07:41] <furi> i'm trying to get my computer to boot correctly, but it's saying open sound system failed to start. i'm currently on a livecd running xubuntu. i have access to my filesystem. i have a chrooted terminal up that's on my real filesystem. what should i do now?
[07:41] <maco> Genevieve: dkms should be on the usb drive somewhere
[07:41] <sunit> rinku , ectospasm,  -- I can access the machine with http://<ip>:8080/
[07:41] <ft_mn> shcherback the static_word and the special_word,right after the static_word, are met only once in the file
[07:42] <sunit> and also openbravo erp with http://<ip>:8080/openbravomp14
[07:42] <sunit> thanks both of you
[07:42] <ectospasm> sunit: no problem
[07:43] <furi> i'm trying to get my computer to boot correctly, but it's saying open sound system failed to start. i'm currently on a livecd running xubuntu. i have access to my filesystem. i have a chrooted terminal up that's on my real filesystem. what should i do now?
[07:44] <ttocskcaj> Hi. I just broke sudo :(
[07:44] <ft_mn> shcerbak: may i somehow do: matrix=grep "static_word" ;        echo $matrix[2]  #matrix(2) is my sp_word
[07:44] <mAniAk-_-> so how does one go about to fix locales in ubuntu? i want english everywhere with swedish keyboard. http://pastie.org/1281803
[07:44] <yahya> genevieve: my problem started with broadcom as well
[07:44] <rinku_kokiri> sunit:~# always remember port numbers
[07:44] <yahya> the best way to solve it is to get a wired connection
[07:45] <ttocskcaj> how can I reinstall sudo so it has 440 permissions
[07:45] <ectospasm> furi: do you have any clue why open sound system won't start?
[07:45] <yahya> ActionParsnip: thx for the assistance, got my wireless working
[07:45] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# i agree with yahya
[07:45] <aidrocsid> IT WORKS
[07:45] <aidrocsid> IT WORKS
[07:45] <Genevieve> i live in a rural area where wired internet doesn't exist... all we have out here for internet is satellite internet
[07:45] <FloodBot3> aidrocsid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:45] <furi> ectospasm: yes, i believe it was because of an update i made a while before i rebooted to that message
[07:46] <rinku_kokiri> whad u fix melange ??
[07:46] <ectospasm> furi: check that your sound card's driver is loaded (see "lsmod")
[07:46] <Genevieve> i run my internet off of my iphone using it as a wireless hotspot via pdanet
[07:46] <ttocskcaj> anyone?
[07:46] <furi> ectospasm: lsmod?
[07:46] <melange> hooray hooray
[07:46] <melange> pulseaudio works
[07:46] <ectospasm> furi: yes, it lists your loaded modules
[07:47] <sevenless> is it possible to install ubuntu without using any media at all (ie just computer + network connection, no usb/floppy/cd)
[07:47] <ectospasm> furi: it's a command line program
[07:47] <furi> ectospasm: never mind, never mind, it wasn't working on the chmodded terminal
[07:47] <furi> ectospasm: what should i look for?
[07:47] <ectospasm> furi: look for the driver for your sound card, it will probably be listed like snd_*
[07:47] <rinku_kokiri> melange:~# don't speak too soon... Pulseaudio has a tendency to break when you most and least expect it to.
[07:48] <furi> ectospasm: snd_page_alloc?
[07:48] <melange> Well it works now
[07:48] <melange> which is more audio-sharing than i've ever had
[07:48] <furi> ectospasm: snd_seq_device?
[07:48] <furi> ectospasm: snd_timer?
[07:48] <ectospasm> furi: those are sound related modules, but not your driver.
[07:48] <rinku_kokiri> furi:~# more like snd_hda_intel << or something of the like denoting a hardware brand (kinda)
[07:48] <furi> rinku_kokiri: okay
[07:48] <furi> ectospasm: found it, snd_hda_intel
[07:49]  * rinku_kokiri pours some sauce on tabasko 
[07:49] <Genevieve> is there anyone to fix the wireless adapter issue WITHOUT a wired internet connection?
[07:50] <furi> ectospasm: what should i do now?
[07:50] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# floppy disks, usb drives or cd roms :D
[07:50] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# you just need to know the type of card you have..
[07:50] <rinku_kokiri> sudo lshw -c network  may do the trick
[07:51] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri: its a broadcom 4313. its supported by the broadcom STA driver which is a third party driver, but included in ubuntu 10.10
[07:51] <rinku_kokiri> allright then.. pop yer cd in and install from there...
[07:51] <maco> Genevieve: the STA driver is in the iso so should be on the usb drive
[07:52] <maco> Genevieve: there should be a deb somewhere on the usb drive with a name like "b43_somestuffhere.deb"
[07:52] <Genevieve> its on the usb drive, but it says dkms dependencies not satisfied
[07:52] <maco> r wait not b43
[07:52] <ttocskcaj> should the permissions of /etc be 440 ?
[07:52] <maco> Genevieve: are you using the usb drive as a repo or just double clicking on a deb?
[07:53] <Genevieve> maco: i was just double clicking on a deb
[07:53] <maco> Genevieve: bcmwl-kernel-source is the deb for broadcom
[07:53] <lolmaus> I need a plain simple backup solution to backup my Ubuntu server and upload backups to a windows share. Please suggest a tool or a howto.
[07:53] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# you're prolly going to have to edit your sources to ignore the repos for a min whilest you install the driver from the CD
[07:53] <maco> Genevieve: the dependencies *are* all on the usb thing, but it doesnt know how to find them without the usb thing being mounted to look like a cd and then used as a repository.  what you can do is look through the rest of teh usb thing and jus find the dkms deb and install that before you do the bcmwl one
[07:54] <furi> ectospasm: since i know the sound is there, what should i do now? fyi, the sound worked before the update.
[07:54] <Genevieve> maco: I tried that... for every dependency, it tells me another one isn't satisfied... its a vicious circle
[07:54] <Genevieve> rinku_korkiri: how do i do that?
[07:54] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# synaptic package manager > software sources > check the cd rom/dvd *may have to have an actual cd /dvd*
[07:55] <Exploiter> hmm.. bty, what do you call a boomerang which doesn't come back??
[07:55] <rinku_kokiri> a stick
[07:55] <rinku_kokiri> without a dog
[07:55] <ectospasm> furi: I dunno, you may need to try starting pulseaudio in a shell (not booted from LiveCD), and see if it crashes, etc.
[07:55] <maco> Genevieve: what you could do is copy all the ones you need into your home dir and run "sudo dpkg -i *deb" and then that way if A depends on B which depends on A or something annoying like that, it just does the right thing
[07:56] <rinku_kokiri> maco like what ALWAYS happens with things like that?
[07:56] <furi> ectospasm: idk if i should do that, because it'd take forever and a day to get back on the livecd. if i ran pulseaudio from the chrooted terminal would the same stuff happen?
[07:57] <maco> Genevieve: ok here's what you can do
[07:57] <maco> Genevieve: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:57] <ectospasm> furi: why are you running it from the chroot?  It makes no sense to troubleshoot sound issues outside the system which is experiencing the problem (which is what your'e doing with the LiveCD, chroot or no)
[07:58] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri: all I have are dvd-r's... would those work if i were to burn everything from the usb onto the disk?
[07:58] <maco> Genevieve: then put in there:   deb file:///media/disk/mirror maverick main                         <-- replace /media/disk/ with wherever your usb drive is mounted
[07:58] <rinku_kokiri> yeah
[07:58] <maco> Genevieve: and then sudo apt-get update
[07:58] <furi> ectospasm: well, yeah...
[07:58] <furi> ectospasm: but even then, here's the errors given out from the chrooted terminal: http://pastebin.com/pd4mLBwZ
[07:58] <maco> Genevieve: might be "pool" instead of "mirror" - whatever that directory is where you're finding the debs under
[07:58] <rinku_kokiri> maco:~# interesting.... Genevieve try that *after* you back up the original sources.list
[07:58] <ectospasm> furi: don't even bother with the chroot
[07:58] <furi> ectospasm: i guess i'm gonna have to do pulseaudio on the actual comp though
[07:59] <hay09> bonjour
[07:59] <ectospasm> furi: YES!
[07:59] <rinku_kokiri> saves a coaster
[07:59] <Reggy> can i delete the swap partition and create a new one while Ubuntu is running ?
[07:59] <furi> ectospasm: via tty?
[07:59] <ectospasm> Reggy: yep
[07:59] <furi> ectospasm: once it gets the open sound system error, the boot stops completely and all i can access are tty's
[07:59] <ectospasm> Reggy: sudo swapoff && <mkswap> && sudo swapon

[08:00] <kyentei> Why does my mp3blaster keep saying "Failed to open sound device."? I had the same issue on debian. I'm in the right groups and it says this even when run as root. Other applications work just fine..
[08:00] <ectospasm> furi: I don't know then.  You'll have to use the terminal to solve this anyhow.
[08:00] <furi> ectospasm: so, i go into a tty and run pulseaudio?
[08:00] <hay09> quelqu'un peut m'aider
[08:00] <syrjun> Hey, I'm trying to get civilisation running and to do it I must follow instructions here http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4017 but they do not work, what do?

[08:02] <furi> ectospasm: but i don't even know the services
[08:03] <Genevieve> maco: I'm kinda confused...
[08:03] <bt4> hey

[08:03] <rinku_kokiri> syrjun:~# explain what you have done?
[08:04] <furi> ectospasm: meh, i'll just go on ahead and see what happens
[08:04] <maco> Genevieve: the usb drive is mounted where? /media/disk ?
[08:04] <ectospasm> furi: sorry, I don't know where else to point you for help, other than http://ubuntuforums.org
[08:04] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# you changed the sources.list?
[08:04] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# sudo apt-get update
[08:04] <rinku_kokiri> then install the deb
[08:04] <rinku_kokiri> or type it
[08:04] <Genevieve> its listed as pendrive
[08:05] <sevenless> Yeah. So I want to install ubuntu on a win7 machine without transferring any physical data at all. Just netboot.
[08:05] <Kriss-|-> anyone here know where i could get a opengl library for wine ?, i have tried searching much for it
[08:05] <melange> erm, before i format the wrong disk drive, how do i tell which one has ubuntu on it if i don't remember? lol
[08:06] <Genevieve> maco: media/pendrive I think
[08:06] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# open a terminal and cd /media/pendrive
[08:06] <rinku_kokiri> and if a ls displays the contents you're good
[08:07] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri: ls?
[08:07] <rinku_kokiri> ls -al
[08:07] <rinku_kokiri> so you would #cd /media/pendrive
[08:07] <rinku_kokiri> then #ls -al
[08:07] <rinku_kokiri> if that shows what's in pendrive, it's the right path
[08:08] <hay09> je veux configurer mon proxy squid pour qu'il puisse diminuer la bande passante après un certains temps
[08:08] <hay09> quelqu'un peut m'aider
[08:08] <rinku_kokiri> or you could #ls /media if you havent' found the disk yet
[08:08] <kyentei> hay09: How about joining a french ubuntu channel?
[08:09] <rinku_kokiri> !fr | hay09
[08:09] <Genevieve> apparently not the right path...
[08:09] <hay09> ok
[08:09] <Genevieve> what is the #? is that part of the command?
[08:09] <hay09> thank you
[08:09] <rinku_kokiri> no just a marker
[08:10] <maco> rinku_kokiri: and not even the right one for non-root user
[08:10] <rinku_kokiri> maco:~# heh  non root
[08:10] <Genevieve> i found the problem with that.... its PENDRIVE not pendrive
[08:10] <rinku_kokiri> lolo
[08:11] <Genevieve> maco: so the usb is located at /media/PENDRIVE
[08:11] <maco> Genevieve: ok, and what are the folders in there? the one that takes you to the debs? is it named pool or ubuntu or something?
[08:11]  * rinku_kokiri thinks checking a box in the software sources dialog would have been a LOT easier than this... :D

[08:36] <SingAlong> anyone?
[08:36] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, java keytool?
[08:36] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: yup
[08:37] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, how are you adding it?
[08:37] <rinku_kokiri> nano  arrgh
[08:37] <rinku_kokiri> delete all the wq's
[08:37] <rinku_kokiri> then ctrl o
[08:37] <rinku_kokiri> ppl should just use vim
[08:38] <devunt> Not WQ.
[08:38] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: just running the command line this... keytool --exportcert -alias pingpong -keystore pingpong | openssl sha1 -binary | openssl enc -a -e
[08:38] <muffinsz> hello all
[08:38] <Genevieve> ok... sources.list saved
[08:38] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, that isn't adding anything to the keystore
[08:39] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: oh. how do i add it to the keystore?
[08:39] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# now sudo apt-get update
[08:39] <rinku_kokiri> and you *should* be able to just double click install.
[08:39] <rinku_kokiri> on the deb
[08:40] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, not sure
[08:40] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, I'm not sure what the output of that command is. What does it look like?
[08:40] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: the man page says that using -keystore option should do it.
[08:40] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, that's just in read
[08:41] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: the output of the command is a hash key
[08:41] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, basically, you're exporting certificate 'pingpong', and the output of that command is passed on to openssl for sha1 hashing (i'm guessing), which is then passed on to openssl for some more formatting
[08:41] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, but that certificate already comes from your keystore, so you don't need to import it again AFAICT
[08:42] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri: what was the purpose of the sources.list edit?
[08:42] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# to add your usb drive (the install cd) as a repo
[08:42] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: my .keystore is empty (is that a problem?)
[08:43] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~# did it work?
[08:43] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, keytool --exportcert -alias pingpong -keystore pingpong
[08:43] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, what output do you get?
[08:43] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri: in the sources list, i added deb file:///.....mirror maverick main restricted... was that right or should it have been the actual path to where the driver deb is located?
[08:43] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Keystore file does not exist: pingpong
[08:43] <crashanddie_> rinku_kokiri, could you remove that "~#" when you talk to people?
[08:44] <Genevieve> no it didn't work
[08:44] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, so yeah, I'm guessing you might have a problem extracting things from something that doesn't exist :)
[08:44] <SingAlong> oh
[08:44] <SingAlong> haha
[08:44] <rinku_kokiri> crashanddie_:~$ sure that bettah?
[08:45] <_GoRDoN_> =)
[08:45] <crashanddie_> rinku_kokiri, I said remove, not replace :)
[08:45] <rinku_kokiri> I don't see a problem with it.
[08:45] <SingAlong> rinku_kokiri: its a distraction in the channel
[08:45] <crashanddie_> of course you don't. Nevermind.
[08:46] <rinku_kokiri> and if you can have a comma or a colon, i can have a whatever as long as it isn't 40 characters long
[08:46] <rinku_kokiri> i mean jeez it's a chat channel
[08:46] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, you probably want to initialise your keystore with something prior to extracting from it
[08:46] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, what do you need the keystore for?
[08:46] <SingAlong> rinku_kokiri: your talk is highlighted than the others and causes evil Skynet to rise. so just have a colon or whatever that's less attractive
[08:46] <mido> hai all
[08:46] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: to sigh an android app.
[08:46] <SingAlong> *sign
[08:46] <crashanddie_> don't specify -keystore then
[08:47] <crashanddie_> it'll just create something in .keystore if my memory serves me well
[08:47] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri, its not working
[08:47] <mido> how to hack wifi????
[08:47] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk specifies that i need a keystore to use it (under the single sign-on section)
[08:47] <G1Bs0N> key store
[08:47] <rinku_kokiri> SingAlong:~$ sorry i didn't understand that sentence.. i got the change it part, but before that
[08:47] <Genevieve> its still saying: dependency is not satisfiable: dkms
[08:48] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve:~$ hang on, ppl are being jealous about my autocomplete
[08:48] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, yeah, it says to generate a key hash
[08:48] <G1Bs0N> im trying to put ubuntu ported on the EV0
[08:48] <SingAlong> rinku_kokiri: everybody here has auto -complete just look at the channel from anyone's POV and you'll see it's a distraction highlighting talk by you.
[08:49] <blakkheim> ^
[08:49] <rinku_kokiri> who highlights talk by me?
[08:49] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, drop it
[08:49] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: now i did without keystore (keytool --exportcert -alias pingpong) and got keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Keystore file does not exist: /home/akashmanohar/.keystore
[08:49] <rinku_kokiri> if you highlight on :~# you got the problem

[08:50] <rinku_kokiri> SingAlong> so i'm supposed to not say anyone's name when i talk to them or what?
[08:50] <rinku_kokiri> because i don't see any difference in , : or :~#
[08:50] <crashanddie_> rinku_kokiri, how about we drop the subject and just try to help people?
[08:50]  * SingAlong quits explaining to rinku
[08:51] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: thanks i only skimmed thru that before. I'll read the whole thing again. maybe that should help
[08:51] <rinku_kokiri> crashanddie_> that's what i was doing before i was rudely told to change my junk
[08:51] <rinku_kokiri> but someone had to make a fuss.
[08:51] <crashanddie_> i just pointed it out, you don't care, let's all move on. Please.
[08:51] <furi> okay, i'm back from trying the "pulseaudio" command on terminal. it returns too many E:s for the screen to display, so i can't really get it... anyways, i'm beginning to think that the problem is not OSS. it might actually be something else. "Setting console screen modes and fonts" appears after the OSS bit, and after that, it shows: "^[[12;2R" could it be something else?
[08:52] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, in a nutshell: keytool -genkey -v -keystore pingpong.keystore -alias pingpong_signing -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
[08:52] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: thank you!
[08:53] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, followed by keytool --exportcert -alias pingpong_signing -keystore pingpong.keystore | openssl sha1 -binary | openssl enc -a -e
[08:53] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: it seems that android sdk maintains its own keystore file
[08:53] <crashanddie_> though, run a keytool --exportcert -alias pingpong_signing -keystore pingpong.keystore to make sure it works fine
[08:53] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve> sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
[08:53] <furi> okay, i'm back from trying the "pulseaudio" command on terminal. it returns too many E:s for the screen to display, so i can't really get it... anyways, i'm beginning to think that the problem is not OSS. it might actually be something else. "Setting console screen modes and fonts" appears after the OSS bit, and after that, it shows: "^[[12;2R" could it be something else?
[08:54] <SingAlong> Genevieve: you have wifi problems? (quick guess it's an acer laptop)
[08:54] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri, should the sources list be "deb file:///media/PENDRIVE/pool maverick main restricted"
[08:55] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, i'm not an android dev, so you'll have to dig into android's way of doing things a bit more.
[08:55] <Genevieve> SingAlong, no, its an HP mini. I'm running ubuntu 10.10 for netbook and can't get the broadcom sta driver installed
[08:56] <SingAlong> Genevieve: hp has linux drivers for most stuff.  they offer rpms (you can convert an rpm to deb, it's easy)
[08:56] <rinku_kokiri> General_Shakes> change pool to mirror
[08:56] <rinku_kokiri> and it should be right
[08:56] <Genevieve> SingAlong, the driver is on the USB install I have, but I can't get it to work
[08:56] <crashanddie_> tab pwned
[08:57] <rinku_kokiri> rofl....
[08:57] <crashanddie_> :D
[08:57] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve> read the message intended for General_Shakes
[08:57] <darth_grantius> hey everyone, I had a question. is there any tool to help me migrate from Ubuntu to Windows 7? all my settings etc
[08:57] <iflema> General
[08:58] <crashanddie_> darth_grantius, settings for what? You probably won't run the same apps, so config files are useless
[08:58] <darth_grantius> crashanddie_: for example all my files and all my firefox settings etc
[08:58] <Frogees> moo
[08:59] <furi> darth_grantius, i know of such a tool, and that tool is called... the USB drive.
[08:59] <darth_grantius> I find Ubuntu is lacking somewhat and windows is quite tempting, im wanting to migrate with the least issues possible
[08:59] <pradeep_> test
[08:59] <Krishnandu> Hey guys if I create a folder under /tmp will it exist after reboot??
[08:59] <sachael> what's the difference between the packages wine1.0 and wine1.2? Why are there two versions?
[08:59] <crashanddie_> pradeep_, test succeeded
[08:59] <pradeep_> wow
[08:59] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri: it says "E: unable to locate package bcmwl-kernel-source"
[09:00] <rinku_kokiri> what was the name of the deb you had?
[09:00] <furi> okay, i'm back from trying the "pulseaudio" command on terminal. it returns too many E:s for the screen to display, so i can't really get it... anyways, i'm beginning to think that the problem is not OSS. it might actually be something else. "Setting console screen modes and fonts" appears after the OSS bit, and after that, it shows: "^[[12;2R" could it be something else?
[09:00] <kosherpup> hi i need some help on a complicated mater
[09:01] <Genevieve> should it be the complete name of the deb?
[09:01] <quibbler> !ask | kosherpup
[09:01] <ardhi> anggun
[09:01] <kosherpup> thanks quibbler
[09:01] <azm> how can I search in someones ppa for certain package ?
[09:02] <rinku_kokiri> bcmwl-modaliases - Modaliases for the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA driver
[09:02] <rinku_kokiri> bcmwl-kernel-source - Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source
[09:02] <kosherpup> the issue is that i have a 3g connection and it goes thue a proxy of the serves provider i`d like to override the proxy with a local ip
[09:03] <rinku_kokiri> so sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source should do it
[09:03] <Genevieve> its saying it cant locate it
[09:03] <Genevieve> brb
[09:03] <rinku_kokiri> try another sudo apt-get update
[09:03] <bullgard4> http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Database: "With Base, you can view a table in an editing grid and add, change, and delete records." What is an "editing grid"?
[09:03] <rinku_kokiri> you changed ur sources.list
[09:03] <rinku_kokiri> drrr
[09:03] <furi> okay, i'm back from trying the "pulseaudio" command on terminal. it returns too many E:s for the screen to display, so i can't really get it... anyways, i'm beginning to think that the problem is not OSS. it might actually be something else. "Setting console screen modes and fonts" appears after the OSS bit, and after that, it shows: "^[[12;2R" could it be something else?
[09:03] <kosherpup> thrue*
[09:04] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve> sudo apt-get update   you changed your sources.list again so we gotta update the repos...
[09:05] <silv3r_m00n> skype is not detecting my webcam , what shud I do ?
[09:05] <Krishnandu> Hey guys if I create a dir in /tmp will it exist after reboot??

[09:05] <llutz> Krishnandu: no, per default it will be purged
[09:05] <furi> nvm... brb...
[09:06] <coz_> Krishnandu, how about creating it in /opt /
[09:06] <llutz> Krishnandu: depends on TMPTIME=0 in /etc/default/rcS
[09:07] <Krishnandu> actually I want to create samba share, and I can't decide where should I create that directory
[09:07] <kosherpup> sliv3r_moon: make sure is selected in as the in-p. in the microphone`s volume control
[09:07] <llutz> Krishnandu: /tmp is definetly the wrong place
[09:07] <Krishnandu> coz_, Do I have write permission in opt??
[09:07] <Krishnandu> I'
[09:08] <Krishnandu> I'll be configuring it as "Share"
[09:08] <Krishnandu> Nah...permission denied in opt :P
[09:08] <coz_> Krishnandu,   you can sudo mkdir soandso /opt
[09:08] <Krishnandu> llutz, What about /mnt or /media??
[09:09] <Krishnandu> coz_, I can use sudo but can other user's be able to write in that?? if I share that directory??
[09:09] <melange> KRISHNA :)
[09:09] <Krishnandu> melange, Me??
[09:09] <melange> 3-\
[09:10] <Krishnandu> wat??
[09:10] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve> u still there?
[09:10] <G1Bs0N> hey how do i skip nounting smb and go to neet rpc rap or aps  ?
[09:10] <melange> gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!
[09:10] <coz_> Krishnandu,  I generally dont deal with shared folders  however,  why not just create a share folder in home directory?  since I never do this I dont know what the security  issues might be
[09:11] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri, I'm here. i was feeding my daughter and putting her to bed
[09:11] <rinku_kokiri> aa kk
[09:11] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve> you recently changed the sources.list again so sudo apt-get update
[09:11] <Krishnandu> coz_, I don't think home folder's are accessible....
[09:11] <Krishnandu> coz_, Not sure...lemme try :P
[09:12] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve>  then sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
[09:12] <coz_> Krishnandu,  you can easily create the folder in /home  but , again,, with notwork issues and security I dont know what issues might arise with that
[09:13] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri,"failed to fetch file:/media/PENDRIVE/mirror/dists/maverick/restricted/binary-i386/packages.gz"
[09:13] <coz_> Krishnandu,  rather "networking" i meant
[09:13] <Krishnandu> coz_, Ya it's ok....it's working...but I just thought creating a public folder in /home is not a good idea :P
[09:13] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri, is that a problem with the sources list how its written?
[09:13] <coz_> Krishnandu,   yeah that would be my concern,,, if no one here can answer that  fully you could to ##linux channel and ask there
[09:14] <Krishnandu> coz_, It's ok :) Thanks :)
[09:15] <Genevieve> with apt-get update, it basically says failed to fetch for everything
[09:15] <rinku_kokiri> I would imagine...
[09:15] <amitb_>  #puppylinux
[09:18] <Genevieve> i'm stuck again...
[09:19] <rinku_kokiri> i'm lookin for where he got that idea
[09:19] <rinku_kokiri> mmm hrmmm
[09:19] <ilius> how to install nvidia-195 in ubuntu 10.10
[09:20] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve> ls /media/PENDRIVE/apt-mirror
[09:20] <rinku_kokiri> does that return anything?
[09:20] <Genevieve> nothing
[09:21] <rinku_kokiri> drr,, I could just pop my cd in and see the tree
[09:22] <coz_> ilius,  there are how to 's  online   but you will most likely have to disable nouveau  in order to install the 195 driver
[09:22] <coz_> ilius,  do you know how to use the nvidia .run driver?
[09:22] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri: the tree for where i'm going is /media/PENDRIVE/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/
[09:23] <rinku_kokiri> we need the packages.gz off the disk
[09:23] <Ankitg> whenever i shutdown my system a pop up appears saying at api registery problem and i need to click continue anyway every time....help in avioding that
[09:23] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks. I get a segfault whenever I try to open mplayer or vlc. I found online a bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/313448 that seems to describe the same problem I have, but I'm very new to Ubuntu and don't know how to do what it says to do to fix it. Can anybody help me with this?
[09:24] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri: would it just be easier to try what you mentioned earlier about transferring everything to cd/dvd and trying to use synaptic package manager
[09:24] <rinku_kokiri> hang on.. one sec
[09:24] <rinku_kokiri> one more edit of sources.list
[09:25] <rinku_kokiri> remove the mirror from the end of the line...
[09:25] <rinku_kokiri> so it should read /media/PENDRIVE
[09:25] <Jordan_U> ilius: rinku_kokiri
[09:26] <Jordan_U> Sorry, that was a mistake.
[09:26] <rinku_kokiri> kk
[09:26] <Genevieve> then once I edit that, do sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source?
[09:26] <rinku_kokiri> "deb file:///media/PENDRIVE/"
[09:27] <rinku_kokiri> then update and install
[09:27] <rinku_kokiri> that should work bettar
[09:27] <Genevieve> how do i exit out of nano without actually closing the terminal?
[09:27] <rinku_kokiri> ctrl x
[09:28] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri, error on the update: "malformed line 61 in the source list"
[09:28] <ilius> coz_: yes i am downloading .run file
[09:28] <Genevieve> "the list of sources could not be read"
[09:29] <Ankitg> how could i repair AT SPI REGISTERY WARNING whenever i shutdown my system.....
[09:29] <ilius> coz_: but i dont know why there is no deb package for >185 versions!!
[09:29] <Sandking> hi
[09:29] <rinku_kokiri> allright.
[09:30] <Vrukiot> Sto praite be ej
[09:30] <Sandking> what would be the simplest way to change my netbook with cam to a surveillance camera i could use while i'm away from home?
[09:30] <Sandking> simple streaming
[09:30] <Vrukiot> Aloo
[09:30] <Vrukiot> o i tii
[09:30] <rinku_kokiri> Genevieve> yep, i thought it would be easier the other way... burn a dvd.
[09:31] <rinku_kokiri> and while that's goin on, restore the original sources.list
[09:31] <Genevieve> ok
[09:33] <coz_> ilius,   here is one post on installing nvidia binary  http://www.socialblogr.com/2010/10/how-to-install-nvidia-graphic-card-driver-on-ubuntu-10-10.html

[09:38] <ilius> what is nouveau?
[09:38] <rinku_kokiri> that's what the idea was i think
[09:38] <rinku_kokiri> ilius> new
[09:38] <rinku_kokiri> or nine
[09:39] <rinku_kokiri> or nvidia?
[09:39] <rinku_kokiri> or novel
[09:39] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help!!!!
[09:40] <ilius> rinku_kokiri: oh, is it that new builtin kernel driver?
[09:40] <rinku_kokiri> yep
[09:40] <rinku_kokiri> http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/
[09:40] <rinku_kokiri> The nouveau project aims to build high-quality, open source drivers for nVidia cards.
[09:40] <hsr> After clicking logout, the system stopped at black screen giving errors - (process: 305:) GLiB WARNING**: getpwuid_r: failed due to unknown user id (0) [] OpenOffice.org Dcovert converter.pid non-existant [fail]
[09:40] <hsr> How to fix it?
[09:40] <ilius> rinku_kokiri: then it conflicts with every nvidia propritay driver (either deb or run)
[09:41] <ilius> hmmm
[09:41] <rinku_kokiri> high qual conflicts with current lol
[09:43] <crashanddie_> floodbot is flooding the channel :)
[09:43] <hsr> I'm still stuck at logout screen, and seeking through irssi.. how to fix the error mentioned?
[09:44] <rinku_kokiri> crashanddie_> actually, chanserv did
[09:44] <superman1980> hi all
[09:45] <rinku_kokiri> wtf chanserv?

[09:48] <Wurstwasserhydra> Hello! Which command I use to ignore leave/enter messages in IRC-Channels?
[09:48] <Genevieve> rinku_kokiri, so i went to maverick(for 10.10), then since the driver is in restricted, i went there, and so i download the 3 files located there and then add that to the sources.list, right?
[09:49] <rinku_kokiri> i would think so
[09:49] <Yerushalmi> I get a segfault whenever I try to open mplayer or vlc. I found online a bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/313448 that seems to describe the same problem I have, but I'm very new to Ubuntu and don't know how to do what it says to do to fix it. Can anybody help me with this?
[09:49] <Genevieve> you're not exactly sure on this one?
[09:49] <rinku_kokiri> not exactly
[09:49] <iflema> Genevieve you on 10.10?
[09:50] <Genevieve> iflema, 10.10 netbook edition
[09:50] <Genevieve> iflema, i'm trying to add the broadcom sta driver, which is on the install disc, but it won't activate...
[09:50] <iflema> Genevieve navigate the cd using the filemanager and double click on bcmwl-kernel-source
[09:51] <pradeepbp> where does acpi command lookup the battery status for reporting?
[09:51] <Genevieve> iflema, i tried that... it says "dependencies not satisfied: dkms"
[09:51] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: Did you manually install nvidia drivers?
[09:51] <iflema> Genevieve 10.10??
[09:51] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: Nope, my Ubuntu installation is fairly out-of-the-box.
[09:51] <Genevieve> iflema, yes
[09:52] <iflema> Genevieve double clickoing in a gui??
[09:52] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: It's quite annoying, I've been having problems with media since the beginning.
[09:52] <Genevieve> iflema, it doesn't work, i get the error dependencies not satisfied
[09:52] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: Then you are probably not experiencing the same problem as Nils.
[09:52] <iflema> Genevieve install dkms
[09:53] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: Mmm. Same symptoms, though. Any idea what I can do about this?
[09:53] <Genevieve> iflema, that says gcc dependencies not satisfied
[09:53] <iflema> Genevieve argh.. yes... that is does.....
[09:54] <Genevieve> iflema, gcc says g++ not satisfied... i've tried that route and it just sends me in circles
[09:54] <crashanddie_> pradeepbp, ACPI is a standard to exchange power management information and configuration between arbitrary devices
[09:54] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: Does simply "mplayer --help" segfault?
[09:55] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: Yup.
[09:55] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: Can you pastebin the output of "strace mplayer"?
[09:55] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, how about you restate your problem in a single sentence for everyone's benefit?
[09:56] <sresu> How to download a streaming video file? Is there any streamripper equivalent package for this? For example this file - http://filebin.ca/rrurtm - when opened with vls straems video, how can this be downloaded to hard disk?
[09:56] <viliny> Hello! Anybody have an idea why my mon0 interface after using airmon results to channel -1 no matter what i tell it to set it to? Running ath9k drivers apparently - are madwifi drivers still something you would want to use on ubuntu?
[09:57] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: Not directly - the computer on which I have the problem isn't hooked up to the Internet. The output also overflows the terminal buffer so I can't copy all of it. Any way I can ask it to automatically output it to a file? I can then transfer it on disk-on-key to here and pastebin it.
[09:57] <Genevieve> using ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition. I don't have a wired internet connection, only wifi. my wireless card is a broadcom 4313 which is supported by the broadcom sta driver included in ubuntu 10.10. when booted through liveCD, it appears on the "additional drivers" list but cannot activate. on the fully installed version, the driver doesn't appear at all
[09:58] <crashanddie_> Yerushalmi, command > file
[09:58] <Genevieve> I need a way to install and activate the broadcom sta driver without a wired internet connection
[09:58] <Yerushalmi> crashanddie_: I don't understand...
[09:59] <crashanddie_> Yerushalmi, what command are you issuing that generates too much output?
[09:59] <iflema> crashanddie_ Genevieve USB install or CD?
[09:59] <Yerushalmi> strace mplayer
[09:59] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: strace mplayer > Desktop/mplayer_strace.txt
[09:59] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: Ah, I see
[09:59] <crashanddie_> there you go :)
[09:59] <Genevieve> iflema USB install
[10:00] <Yerushalmi> ... that's odd. The file comes out blank.
[10:00] <sevenless> You do not actually need conventional explosives to make certain types of nuclear bomb
[10:00] <pradeepbp> crashhanddie_: I mean, where does acpi gets the battery info from?
[10:00] <devnn> I am using the /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh script to shut down a program when going to sleep, but is there an ACPI event for when waking up from sleep? I would like to have the program restarted when waking up.
[10:00] <crashanddie_> Yerushalmi, does it still output to terminal?
[10:00] <Yerushalmi> Yup
[10:01] <crashanddie_> Yerushalmi, strace mplayer 2&> Desktop/mplayer_strace.txt
[10:01] <pradeepbp> crashhanddie_: the man page says, from /proc :)
[10:01] <Yerushalmi> Aha! Now it worked. Thanks, crashanddie_ . Now I'll transfer it to pastebin.
[10:02] <viliny> anyone familiar with madwifi on modern ubuntu?
[10:02] <Jordan_U> !anyone | viliny
[10:03] <Genevieve> iflema crashanddie_, any suggestions?
[10:03] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, get a copy of the broadcom-sta-common drivers on your USB key, plus all dependencies, install from there
[10:04] <Yerushalmi> Oh yuck, it came out with no carriage returns in windows. Hate it when that happens. Fixing it...
[10:04] <viliny> Jordan_U, alright, also wanted to see if i was still connected since i dropped wifi here in the meantime. Is madwifi still something people use or should i bury the idea? im running ath9k drivers and apparently the aircrack suite doesn't like it too much because i can't set my channel to what i want and it goes to "-1"
[10:05] <Yerushalmi> crashanddie_, Jordan_U, here it is: http://pastebin.com/6WhC79Dp
[10:05] <crashanddie_> Yerushalmi, apt-get install dos2unix && unix2dos Desktop/mplayer_strace.txt
[10:05] <crashanddie_> oh, nevermind then.
[10:05] <Genevieve> crashanddie_, the driver and all the dependencies are on the USB drive, but it sends me around in circles with the dependencies. i.e. bdmwl-kernel-source depends on dkms, dkms depends on gcc, gcc depends on g++ and it just sends me in circles from there
[10:05] <Yerushalmi> crashanddie_: No worries, I just had to change "Line ending" in the save as window. Done it millions of times :)
[10:05] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, just get a ethernet cable
[10:06] <Genevieve> crashanddie_, its not the cable... i use my iphone as a wifi hotspot...its my only source of internet where i live
[10:06] <jon__> Hola, cuál es el canal ubuntu de habla hispana?
[10:06] <crashanddie_> !spanish
[10:07] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, do you have another laptop?
[10:07] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, or computer
[10:07] <ilius> I disabled Nouveau and installed my card specific nvidia driver (.run), and now the graphics fail to start
[10:08] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, if so, you should be able to bridge the ethernet connection with the wifi one, and thus give your ubuntu box internet access
[10:08] <Genevieve> crashanddie_ i have another laptop that i'm using for this chat. its identical to the one i'm using for ubuntu
[10:08] <glitchd> i just formatted my ext hd and i want to rename it, but it wont let me
[10:08] <Genevieve> crashanddie_ how do i do that?
[10:08] <glitchd> how would i rename a freshly formatted ext hd?
[10:08] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, what OS is running on your other computer?
[10:08] <ilius> gdm-binary could not start and says: maximum number od X display reached: check X sever log for error
[10:08] <Genevieve> crashanddie_ windows 7 starter
[10:09] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, lemme check, 2 minutes
[10:09] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: The last library opened is libgpg-error0, check that that library hasn't been corrupted somehow by running "sudo apt-get install debsums" then "debsums libgpg-error0".
[10:11] <glitchd> does anyone know??
[10:11] <Tweedle> I HATE JACK!
[10:11] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: Heh. Well, at least that's a direction to go in. But I don't have internet access on that computer at the moment so I'll have to wait till I get home to do that.
[10:11] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing center > manage network connections. Select the two connections (wifi/ethernet), right click and select Bridge Connections.
[10:12] <Yerushalmi> If it doesn't work I'll come back in here and ask for help again. Thanks so much :)
[10:12] <Yerushalmi> What about the million "No such file or directory" warnings? Should those be worried about?
[10:12] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: You're welcome.
[10:12] <glitchd> can someone help me??
[10:12] <crashanddie_> !help
[10:12] <Genevieve> crashanddie_, so i run an ethernet between the two laptops, bridge the connection on the windows box and it should show a wired connection on the ubuntu box?
[10:12] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, that's the general idea, yeah
[10:13] <Genevieve> lemme give it a try
[10:13] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: thank you! i finally got the facebook android sdk working with my app :)
[10:13] <glitchd> how can i rename a freshly reformatted ext hd in ubuntu 10.04??
[10:13] <crashanddie_> SingAlong, glad I could help
[10:13] <Genevieve> crashanddie_ once i establish a connection on ubuntu, then i search the online repository for the adapter and install it from there?
[10:13] <SingAlong> crashanddie_: my TODO is to write a blogpost in the evening to get this working :D
[10:14] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, yup. Apt-get should resolve the dependencies for you
[10:15] <root_> hello guys
[10:15] <root_> fuck you all
[10:15] <jpds> Sure.
[10:16] <furi> boot keeps failing on me. fails to start open sound system. says "setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". stops then. can access tty's. currently on livecd with filesystem mounted. what should i do?
[10:17] <pwnt> hi, I'm having a problem now wheneer I turn my pc on, I go into a prompt, it says "grub>" thats all, I'm kinda stuck, that happened to me after I had previous problem where the pc stuck at black screen with "no module name found" then i've looked it up, and did some suggestions in the forums, but now I am really stuck, don't know what to do
[10:18] <furi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1616015
[10:18] <Genevieve> crashanddie_ i'm not seeing how to bridge the connections
[10:19] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, look it up on google/youtube, there are plenty of tutorials
[10:20] <Genevieve> crashanddie_ apparently windows 7 starter isn't capable of bridging network connections....
[10:21] <Jordan_U> pwnt: Follow this guide to properly re-install grub: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[10:21] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, oh
[10:21] <Genevieve> crashanddie_ this is one of the things about this whole windows 7 starter... its so limited in functioning because they want you to pay to upgrade to a fuller version of windows 7
[10:21] <freepenguin0> hi, does exist an Apache Server monitor for Debian based distros?   an equivalent of Mysql-Administrator for Mysql
[10:22] <slayerz> helo
[10:22] <crashanddie_> Genevieve, but the card works under liveCD?
[10:23] <Genevieve> crashanddie_ not quite. its recognized in the addition drivers app, but won't activate

[10:26] <slayerz> i want to install gnome-device-manager package
[10:26] <slayerz> but i try found dats on synaptic package manager
[10:26] <slayerz> but the package cant be found
[10:26] <slayerz> so how come i want to install it
[10:28] <trojan_spike> slayerz, ur not making much sense.. have u tried installing it ? 'sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager'
[10:28] <ilius> coz_: i did exactly that post, and now my graphics fails ro starts!
[10:29] <Exploiter> is there is any channel for emacs in freenode?
[10:29] <coz_> ilius,  are you in text console  ?
[10:29] <awox> Not so much a support question, but are there any iTunes Genius type-things available on Linux? (ones that are better or worse :D)
[10:29] <slayerz> trojan_spike :: in progress, i forgot abt dat..sorry
[10:29] <ilius> coz_: yes, i'm chatting from another system
[10:31] <coz_> ilius,  ok so you disabled nouveau,, then did  sudo NVIDIA-xxx.sh    (xxx) being version number...and did that install with no errors
[10:31] <furi> boot keeps failing on me. fails to start open sound system. says "setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". stops then. can access tty's. currently on livecd with filesystem mounted. what should i do?
[10:31] <ilius> coz_: yes
[10:31] <funkyweasel> I upgraded my home dev box from 9.10 to 10.04 and now both ps/2 and usb keyboards are dead.
[10:32] <crashanddie_> Exploiter, #emacs most probably
[10:32] <ilius> coz_: the only error during installation what that it could not download distro script ... or something like that
[10:32] <ilius> coz_: but the installation completed xorg config overwrited
[10:32] <coz_> ilius,   sudo apt-get install build-essential  linux-source   then try the sh NVIDIA  .run again
[10:32] <ilius> *and xorg
[10:33] <funkyweasel> How do I get the keyboard working when I cannot even log in? :/
[10:33] <funkyweasel> Do I need to reinstall from scratch?
[10:34] <Guest5305> Hi all!  Why does flash crash in Firefox when I go to view a youtube in full-screen?  Any ideas?
[10:34] <Guest5305> Also happens in Chrome
[10:35] <crashanddie_> Guest5305, I'd say wind direction, maybe solar fields
[10:35] <funkyweasel> Guest: Flash is not very good in Linux.
[10:35] <Guest5305> Thx funkyweasel.  Any suggestions?

[10:36] <AbhiJit> Guest5305, are you in 64 bit ubuntu?
[10:36] <Guest5305> Not 64-bit, Ubuntu on older dell desktop.
[10:37] <funkyweasel> I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and my keyboard has stopped working (except for numlock) - I cannot log in to my linux box now.  How can I solve this?
[10:37] <Jordan_U> funkyweasel: Can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 ?
[10:37] <AbhiJit> :/
[10:38] <funkyweasel> Jordan_U: No.
[10:38] <funkyweasel> Jordan_U: is the box effectively dead?

[10:41] <ajip> i`m using ubuntu 10.10, my problem is, when i played music at rythmbox, it`s always stuck.. what can i do to solve this problem?
[10:42] <funkyweasel> Jordan_U: odd - the caps and scroll lock leds have started flashing on the ps2 keyboard when I tried sysreq magic on the usb keyboard, no response otherwise.
[10:42] <Tjernobyl> join #monaden
[10:42] <Exploiter> ajip, try vlc apt-get install vlc
[10:42] <Jordan_U> funkyweasel: Caps lock flahing indicates a kernel panic. Not a good sign.
[10:43] <ajip> exploiter, ok i try..
[10:43] <funkyweasel> Jordan_U: You are not wrong :) system froze up, rebooting with just usb keyboard plugged in.
[10:43] <funkyweasel> It's an old PC
[10:44] <funkyweasel> phone
[10:44] <Jordan_U> funkyweasel: Can you boot from a liveCD? Were there any error messages during the upgrade? Did you upgrade through update-manager?

[10:45] <FloodBot2> LiveF3LW0LF: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:45] <Jordan_U> LiveF3LW0LF: Stop that.
[10:45] <LiveF3LW0LF> intel 855 works out of the box!! ubuntu 10.10! :D
[10:46] <LiveF3LW0LF> No more bullshit, it just WORKS :D
[10:46]  * LiveF3LW0LF is happy
[10:46] <pwnt> apparentely some of my windows programs keeps writing to my MBR, so each time I go to my windows 7 OS, and after a reboot, Grub would not work. then I have to go into my LiveCD again and do some work to get grub back in shape, sucks. what can I do to stop this, Eventyret
[10:46] <love> any body??
[10:47] <Jordan_U> pwnt: Upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10, or at least upgrade to the grub packages from 10.10 (while normally you shouldn't use packages from one release in another, in this case it is safe).
[10:47] <Eventyret> pwnt: oO Ok :P
[10:47] <Eventyret> pwnt:  did you get the ubuntu wokring first of all :P
[10:47] <pwnt> Jordan_U: I am using 10.10
[10:47] <LiveF3LW0LF> Intel 855 GMA works under 10.10 :D
[10:47] <pwnt> Eventyret: yes, I got it working =D yesterday, but now grub problems.
[10:47] <jiMubao> does anyone know how to install ppstream on 64 bit

[10:48] <Jordan_U> pwnt: Ok, please post the requested information to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/441941

[10:49] <love> i am in china
[10:49] <Jordan_U> pwnt: See comment 4 from Felix.
[10:49] <JoeMaverickSett> !cn | love
[10:49] <pwnt> ok
[10:50] <Eventyret> pwnt: i am dualbooting with no problems have you tried BURG insted of GRUB ?
[10:50] <Jordan_U> Eventyret: pwnt: Installing BURG will not help.
[10:50] <mickster04> what are the chances that an iso wil md5 correctly but not work when burnt or put on pen drive? i can't get netbook edition to work at all
[10:50] <Eventyret> Jordan_U: oh ok =)
[10:51] <love> 可以聊天阿？？
[10:51] <Jordan_U> !cn | love
[10:51] <pwnt> Jordan_U: well, I know how to fix it and get my grub back to work, but here's the real problem, each time I log to Windows, It'll ruin my GRUB once again, I want that to stop, I uninstalled some Windows programs like Dell Datasave, and other stuff, still its destroying GRUB.
[10:51] <kaushal> Any opensource tool for monitoring excess bandwithd used by a Workstation in a Local LAN, and then send an alert in the form of email to the administrator ?
[10:52] <Eventyret> pwnt: what securty programs you using on the computer ?
[10:52] <pwnt> on windows? stuff like Macafee, I had Dell Datasafe, but I removed that
[10:52] <love> hello  有人在吗？？？
[10:52] <Jordan_U> pwnt: Installing an even newer version of grub, which not only detects and avoids sectors written to by known programs but also can recover from unknown overwrites, should solve the problem permanently.
[10:52] <rinku_kokiri> !cn
[10:52] <JoeMaverickSett> love: /join #ubuntu-cn
[10:53] <pwnt> Jordan_U: ok, so you saying I fix grub, then get into my ubuntu, then try and update grub2, thats all?
[10:53] <erUSUL> kaushal: ntop ?
[10:53] <pwnt> I'll try that now Jordan_U , fingers crossed
[10:53] <jetienne> q. i got a shell account in french, i would like to put it in english? on a server
[10:54] <li> 有没有写中文的？
[10:54] <Jordan_U> pwnt: No, you'll need to install a newer version of grub than is currently available in Ubuntu 10.10. I'm checking now if a new enough version is available in the development version or debian unstable that can safely be installed in 10.10.
[10:54] <meatbun> when ubuntu distro upgrade say 'all' do they mean just the 2 repositories? or all 4?
[10:55] <arpi> hi
[10:55] <arpi> funkstorung
[10:55] <pwnt> mine is Grub 1.98+20100804
[10:55] <arpi> und funking hell
[10:55] <arpi> wazzup?
[10:55] <pwnt> Jordan_U: and I have ubuntu 10.10 and thats my grub version, 1.98+20100804
[10:55] <mickster04> no-one?
[10:55] <pwnt> Jordan_U: if update wont fix it, then I'm screwed, maybe I shouldnt ever get into my windows again?
[10:57] <sosaited> I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a system with tripple boot (Ubuntu karmic, lucid and xp) via Unetbootin. But when I click any of the unetbootin created menus, I get error "You need to load kernel first"
[10:59] <pwnt> I fixed grub, now its working
[10:59] <funkyweasel> Jordan_U: No joy with sysrq magic
[10:59] <notreve> wich program to mount .iso do you guys reccomend
[11:00] <funkyweasel> Jordan_U: So has upgrading to 10.04 killed the box then, effectively?
[11:01] <funkyweasel> That is massively dissapointing.
[11:01] <capetown007> I think I have the home edition on Ubuntu 10.10. Can someone please recommend where I can get the Enterprise edition that includes OpenOffice Base?
[11:01] <bubbancs> Hi all!
[11:01] <furi> boot keeps failing on me. fails to start open sound system. says "setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". stops then. can access tty's. currently on livecd with filesystem mounted. what should i do?
[11:01] <bubbancs> I have a konikaminolta bizhub 163 on ubuntu 10.10, and no driver for the printer...
[11:02] <funkyweasel> Jordan_U: Oh, I can shutdown the system with sysrq - that's useful :)
[11:02] <bubbancs> can someone help me to fireup the printer.
[11:02] <Jordan_U> pwnt: Unfortunately it looks like there are no debian packages available with a recent enough grub.
[11:03] <LiveF3LW0LF> can someone update the topic?
[11:03] <Jordan_U> !iso | notreve
[11:03] <LiveF3LW0LF> intel 855 is supported :3
[11:03] <LiveF3LW0LF> so, people that aren't upgrading due to intel 855
[11:03] <LiveF3LW0LF> can upgrade to 10.10 ^_^
[11:04] <lestat> hi
[11:04] <erUSUL> LiveF3LW0LF: the topic does not mention intel 855... releasenotes?
[11:04] <lestat> silly question, if i have shell access to a ubuntu box, how can i know which ubuntu version is it ?
[11:04] <erUSUL> !version | lestat
[11:04] <Guest27106> Hello. Could this possibly be the place to ask about a small problem with mouse input on my system?
[11:05] <LiveF3LW0LF> erUSUL, release note of 10.04 tells us intel 855 is unsup, in 10.10 it's sup.
[11:05] <lestat> erUSUL: thx
[11:05] <capetown007> Does anyone here know where I can download the version of Ubuntu which includes OpenOffice Base?
[11:05] <erUSUL> capetown007: afaik all of them include it.
[11:06] <pwnt> Jordan_U: yea, It's not exactly a grub problem in my case, It's one of the softwares in the windows7 laptop, some protective software that ruin grub due to writing to the MBR, Now i'm searching for that software, to uninstall it, until then I cannot really log to my windws 7, I don't want to be doing grub fix from liveCD over and over again.
[11:06] <bubbancs> I searched for drivers for my bizhub 163 Konikaminolta, on the konikaminolta site, no dreivers there...
[11:06] <Stormx2> erUSUL: Not included on my install
[11:06] <Jordan_U> pwnt: I can make you an iso that you can burn to a CD that will just boot Ubuntu, no matter what the windows applications due to grub, I can help walk you through installing grub from source, or I can help walk you through installing grub to a partition rather than the mbr+embedded area. Which would you prefer (I personally don't recommend the third option).
[11:06] <mickster04> ok so i downloaded the netbook iso and it md5'd ok, but i can't use the disk or the usb version....i get lots of IO errors on start up from disk
[11:06] <mickster04> anybody know what might have happened?
[11:06] <furi> boot keeps failing on me. fails to start open sound system. says "setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". stops then. can access tty's. currently on livecd with filesystem mounted. what should i do?
[11:06] <capetown007> erUSUL: Do you have it on your system?
[11:07] <erUSUL> capetown007: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-base
[11:07] <bubbancs> is there a generic driver to use ?
[11:07] <bazz> i have a gziped disk image which has multiple partitions.  is there any way i can decompress just one of the partitions?  i know the start/end sectors/offsets for each of the partitions
[11:07] <pwnt> Jordan_U: I would love to have an iso image burned into a disc that will log my ubuntu directly incase I get this problem again, I won't be dealing with grub at least.
[11:08] <n3rV3> !remastersys > pwnt
[11:08] <funkyweasel> Jordan_U: Ah ha!  I have a console!  Nice one with your sysrq magic old boy!
[11:08] <Jordan_U> funkyweasel: :)
[11:08] <why> good!
[11:08] <fredim> where I find the configuration files "automount usb" in ubuntu?
[11:08] <why> hello
[11:08] <why> 我是
[11:08] <Guest27106> Is this channel the correct place to ask about a problem with mouse input?
[11:08] <LiveF3LW0LF> Jordan_U, erUSUL, is it possible to encrypt my entire pc?
[11:08] <erUSUL> bazz: maybe « gunzip image.gz | dd of=partition.img restofoptions ... » works
[11:09] <bubbancs> so can someone help me with this printer install ?
[11:09] <capetown007> esUSUL: Okay I will download the package. I just wish Openoffice Base was already installed... :-|
[11:09] <erUSUL> LiveF3LW0LF: yes; but in my opinion is not a good idea. it makes everything harder ( or impossible) in the face of problems
[11:09] <bubbancs> give me a hint at least please on where to start searching for answers.....
[11:10] <bazz> erUSUL: ahh, but you mean actually 'gunzip -c | dd of=part.img skip=skip ...' right
[11:10] <erUSUL> bazz: correct
[11:10] <pwnt> question is, why can't grub/ubuntu developers deal with Windows 7 programs that have recovery features, such as dell recovery tool, dell datasafe, and another one that I can't remember its name, these program will make troubles after restarting a computer that has 2 OS'
[11:11] <awox> you seriously believe that's ubuntu/grub developers' faults?
[11:11] <rinku_kokiri> it's not that grub/ubuntu devs can't deal with it
[11:11] <rinku_kokiri> it's that windows and dell refuse to acknowledge there are other operating systems out there
[11:12] <rinku_kokiri> they think they're king of the castle
[11:12] <bazz> erUSUL: clever, thanks
[11:13] <pwnt> but linux devs are smarter, I'm sure there is a genuis way around it, so that this problem would never occur in the first place =p
[11:13] <erUSUL> pwnt: ther question is why all this programs keep messing without asking nor without an option to disable them with *your* computers' mbr thinking they know better than you
[11:14] <furi> boot keeps failing on me. fails to start open sound system. says "setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". stops then. can access tty's. currently on livecd with filesystem mounted. what should i do?
[11:14] <Eventyret> pwnt: got it working ?
[11:15] <pwnt> Eventyret: yeah
[11:15] <fredim> hi
[11:15] <fredim> where I find the configuration files "automount usb" in ubuntu?
[11:15] <pwnt> Now I want to prevent the problem from happening again...it's pretty hard to track which program is causing this
[11:15] <Guest27106> I hope this is the correct place to ask, anyways: I'm using a laptop with Ubuntu 10.10, a touchpad, a little rubber thing and a touch screen. Every few seconds, a click appears in the same spot in the lower right corner of the screen. How can I disable any of the three pointing devices?
[11:16] <Eventyret> pwnt: about this
[11:17] <Eventyret> 20:20 #ubuntu: < pwnt> Eventyret: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[11:17] <Eventyret> pwnt: thats more or less having an updatemanager up :Piirc.
[11:18] <Jordan_U> pwnt: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/grub/pwnt.iso If that image doesn't work use Super GRUB2 Disk's "Detect any GRUB2 installation (even if mbr is overwritten)" option which does basically the same thing.
[11:19] <pwnt> Jordan_U: thanks! i'll burn this and test it, will let you know
[11:20] <pwnt> Eventyret: yea true, actually I didnt know that my drivers were installing in the same time lol
[11:21] <Eventyret> pwnt: hehe ok =D
[11:21] <DouweZ> Hey can someone help me?
[11:22] <Eventyret> Dupond: what you need ?
[11:22] <Eventyret> DouweZ: ask your question =D
[11:22] <LiveF3LW0LF> DouweZ, don't ask to ask, lol
[11:22] <raikd> hi guys ... is there any channel for bash or shell scripting ? any idea where or how to check the rooms list ?
[11:22] <Gatonegro> Hello all. I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 64bits successfully, but the machine freezes during bootup.
[11:22] <DouweZ> Okay I have a problem, I have Windows 7 on one drive but I can't boot into it
[11:22] <Gatonegro> it shows just the "ubuntu" branded boot screen, with the five dots.
[11:22] <LiveF3LW0LF> DouweZ, fix your MBR
[11:22] <LiveF3LW0LF> GRUB2?
[11:22] <Gatonegro> Does anyone have any experience with 64bit 10.10 ?
[11:22] <DouweZ> So I installed Ubuntu next to it
[11:22] <Scarra3> How come my touchpad doesn't work in ubuntu 10.10 but it works in fedora 14
[11:23] <Eventyret> Gatonegro: i had xD
[11:23] <DouweZ> Yeah I know
[11:23] <LiveF3LW0LF> DouweZ, fix your Grub
[11:23] <Gatonegro> Evelynn_, And?
[11:23] <Eventyret> Gatonegro: i used x64 alot before loved it, but im back at 32 now though
[11:23] <LiveF3LW0LF> load up the small partition
[11:23] <DouweZ> But I haven't used ubuntu in a long time
[11:23] <Gatonegro> Evelynn_, Why?
[11:23] <LiveF3LW0LF> the system information partition
[11:23] <LiveF3LW0LF> lemme see, 10 secs please
[11:24] <Gatonegro> Eventyret, Why did you change?
[11:24] <LiveF3LW0LF> DouweZ, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[11:24] <Eventyret> Gatonegro: well i formatted for windows and such, and my computer was unstable, but that was _MY_ computer =D
[11:24] <Eventyret> Gatonegro: but it was working like a dream before that
[11:25] <Gatonegro> Eventyret, And had you ever experienced what is happening to me?
[11:25] <Gatonegro> Eventyret, The bootscreen with the ubuntu logo and the five dots shows up, but doesn't go further than that.
[11:25] <Gatonegro> If Ipress Ctrl+Alt+Supr, though, it does reboot properly.
[11:26] <Eventyret> Gatonegro: no mine booted just fine =) - I jus got reboot issues with ubuntu but thats after 8.4 so =)
[11:26] <Eventyret> Gatonegro: but that was 32 and 64
[11:26] <Gatonegro> Hum... I'm beginning to thing that the problem is that GDM is not loading.
[11:26] <Gatonegro> How can I see what's going on behind the Ubuntu boot screen?
[11:26] <gladiator> hi. i need some help in claiming some hard disk space on my laptop. can someone help?

[11:30] <dar__> hi

[11:31] <ffei_> i have just install the skype, and talk with a person in Norway, at first, everything is fine, but latter, it always disconnect.

[11:31] <baskak> gladiator: "can't open [...] for reading, i/o error"
[11:32] <gladiator> baskak, looks like a permissions issue
[11:32] <baskak> gladiator: what can i do?
[11:32] <gladiator> try sudo cp -R if you have root access
[11:33] <baskak> gladiator: i used sudo

[11:34] <gladiator> baskak, sorry, dont know then
[11:34] <Promille> Eventyret: Was trying to run the image BackTrack R1 Release VMWare Image, and I assume I got to use the VMWare Workstation(pretty unexperienced in this area...)
[11:34] <fredim> hi ... where I find the configuration files "automount usb" in ubuntu?
[11:35] <baskak> gladiator: i tried also to copy it booting from live cd... but the results were very strange. it "copied" just a few files of unknown origin, yet when i deleted the destination dir, it stated it is deleteing a long list of files...
[11:35] <capetown007> esUSUL: How does one go about encouraging the developers of Ubuntu to include OpenOffice Base in the default install? I have gotten used to it being installed in Windows when I run the installer there. Is it such a big package that it won fit on the CD?
[11:37] <gnosek> hi! is intrepid still on some server? a'la archive.debian.org
[11:37] <Chosi> can anyone recommend me a kernel to use in a maverick domU, 64bit?
[11:37] <greppy> capetown007: I would think it is more likely that it isn't used as often.
[11:37] <jrib> gnosek: why? intrepid is EOL and no longer supported
[11:38] <Chosi> currently using 2.6.35-22-generic, but i don't think it's a good idea
[11:38] <baskak> anybody
[11:39] <gnosek> jrib: I need to install a package on a 8.10 machine
[11:39] <capetown007> greppy: If I run the suggested ¨sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-base¨ to get it installed, What files can I copy to a flashdrive to install on other PCs. Is there a script?
[11:39] <jrib> gnosek: you need to upgrade.  8.10 is EOL and no longer supported
[11:39] <Diverdude> How do i show a list of all files that does NOT have a ~ in their filename. I was thinking something like:    ls -la | grep NOT ~
[11:39] <Jordan_U> !offline | capetown007
[11:39] <jrib> !upgrade > gnosek
[11:39] <greppy> capetown007: you could download the .deb to copy to another pc
[11:39] <Gatonegro> So, I have a freshly installed Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit and, although it installed perfectly, it doesn't boot up: it shows the "ubuntu"+five dots screen and stops there. :( Any suggestion what I can do? It doesn't seem to be entirely frozen, because Ctrl+Alt+Supr causes the five dots in the screen to "countdown", and powers off nicely.
[11:40] <jrib> Diverdude: grep -v
[11:40] <sresu> This clip here - http://ffh.films.com/PreviewClip.aspx?id=6483, when opened using mozilla uses xine. Is there a way that I can dave it hard disk?

[11:40] <dizz3r> http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[11:40] <Diverdude> jrib, ls -la | grep -v ~     ?
[11:40] <gnosek> jrib, ubottu: yes I know 8.10 is EOL, nevertheless I need a package from it, is there a yes-i-know-its-a-bad-idea-just-gimme-the-debs.ubuntu.com?
[11:41] <DouweZ> okay I can't figure out the Grub2
[11:41] <jrib> gnosek: old-releases.ubuntu.com

[11:41] <jrib> Diverdude: easy way to find out... (but you probably need to escape or quote the ~)
[11:42] <Robinux> guys the best stable recommendable server? 10.04?
[11:42] <jrib> Robinux: 10.04 if you want LTS, 10.10 otherwise
[11:42] <Robinux> oh
[11:42] <Robinux> LTS
[11:42] <gnosek> jrib: thx
[11:42] <Robinux> huh
[11:42] <Robinux> nice
[11:42] <FloodBot2> Robinux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:43] <DouweZ> can someone help me to boot my Windows 7 HD again?
[11:43] <dizz3r> DouweZ: in Grub2 the menu.lst has been removed, try to edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[11:43] <greppy> Robinux: unless I need something specific I always use LTS for servers, it just makes life a little easier :)
[11:43] <Robinux> greppy: oh? i see... I'll go for 10.04 then :D
[11:43] <Jordan_U> DouweZ: If you run "sudo update-grub" it should add an entry for windows to your boot menu automatically.
[11:43] <DouweZ> dizz3r: not in the /etc/grub.d ?
[11:44] <DouweZ> update-grub doesn't work
[11:44] <Robinux> my goodness i've got ALOT to read to get my server up and going by next week :D lol i love challenges like this when you know jack shit about you're getting into :P
[11:44] <Jordan_U> DouweZ: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?
[11:44] <Robinux> greppy, jrib: thanks guys

[11:47] <webresourc> Hello from a new user on Ubuntu
[11:47] <webresourc> I have install Ububtu desktop in my computer in Virtual Machine and the first installation was ok
[11:47] <rocket16> Hello webresourc
[11:47] <DouweZ> Hey
[11:47] <Jordan_U> DouweZ: Normally windows 7 uses at least two partitions. One is the "system" partition with bootloader files.
[11:47] <webresourc> after I made all the updates
[11:48] <webresourc> and after restart I've got shell login not grafical
[11:48] <DouweZ> The thing is, I had 2 installs I deleted one
[11:48] <gutelmasam> whayyy
[11:48] <webresourc> hello rocket16
[11:48] <Jordan_U> DouweZ: Then you do not currently have any bootable windows installation.
[11:48] <webresourc> now from shell can I run the GUI of ubuntu ?
[11:48] <DouweZ> Can I make it bootable again?
[11:48] <furi> boot keeps failing on me. fails to start open sound system. says "setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". stops then. can access tty's. currently on livecd with filesystem mounted. what should i do?
[11:49] <webresourc> or have I to do somethink to fix this issue out ?
[11:49] <Myx0x3> i have some problems.. ive just install ubuntu-server and i get

[11:49] <Myx0x3> whops
[11:49] <Jordan_U> DouweZ: You probably can with the recovery tools on a windows install CD, for more help than that though try ##windows.
[11:50] <Myx0x3> i have some problems.. ive just install ubuntu-server and i get IP and everything but it does not ping my router or my computer! the router is the DHCP server also..
[11:50] <DouweZ> Ah but it is weird though seen the install I'm trying to recover was installed after the one I deleted

[11:51] <webresourc> I'm very new on Ubuntu

[11:52] <webresourc> juk: sup ?
[11:52] <hateball> webresourc: you can try restarting GDM by: sudo service gdm restart
[11:52] <webresourc> what is it ?
[11:52] <Jordan_U> gnosek: Why are you trying to install cryptography related packages for a distribution that no longer gets security updates?
[11:52] <juk> webresourc: what happened?
[11:52] <jrib> gnosek: why can't you upgrade?
[11:53] <gnosek> Jordan_U, jrib: I just want an IM client that sucks less than Pidgin
[11:53] <webresourc> hateball: Thanks that worked for me
[11:53] <webresourc> next time that I will restart my buntu will make me this issue back again ?
[11:53] <jrib> gnosek: that's why you can't upgrade?
[11:54] <webresourc> have I to do somethink on Ubuntu configurations to start automaticly the next time ?
[11:54] <gnosek> jrib: actually I'm forced to upgrade (or rather reinstall, as the upgrade _never_ works) now
[11:55] <gnosek> so backing up at the moment
[11:55] <jrib> gnosek: you've attempted to upgrade 8.10 following the steps on the wiki I linked you to earlier?
[11:55] <hateball> webresourc: well it *should* just work, but you know ;)
[11:56] <webresourc> to know what :) xaxa ?
[11:56] <hateball> webresourc: I had an issue where having TPM enabled in BIOS would make something during bootup hang, so it didnt load gdm
[11:56] <sresu> How to open this - http://ffh.films.com/PreviewClip.aspx?id=6483 ? Its not playing
[11:56] <webresourc> you know I installed the Ubuntu just today for first time ;) xaxa
[11:57] <saju_m> how enable firewall in ubuntu?
[11:57] <gnosek> jrib: no, do you really expect apt-get dist-upgrade to work across 2 years of ubuntu versions?
[11:57] <saju_m> how check firewall status?
[11:57] <jrib> gnosek: of course not, that's not how you upgrade ubuntu releases
[11:57] <Licuadora> Hello
[11:57] <trojan_spike> sresu, it wants u to install real-player
[11:58] <trojan_spike> saju_m, first u need a f-wall installed
[11:58] <Licuadora> Can someone tell me how to upgrade my BIOS? since Ubuntu does not upgrade Motherboard drivers, I want to do it myself
[11:58] <crashanddie_> Licuadora, quite out of scope of this channel
[11:58] <Myx0x3> Licuadora: what motherboard do you have?
[11:59] <Myx0x3> Licuadora: there is flash utilits on the bios on the newer ones
[11:59] <Licuadora> I already have the IFLASH.EXE, EC0118.ITK, EC0118.BIO in my desktop, what do I do with them?
[11:59] <saju_m> is iptables and f-wall are same?
[11:59] <Jordan_U> gnosek: I had a machine that lasted from breezy to lucid before the hardware finally died.
[11:59] <sresu> trojan_spike: As part of mozilla plugin like xine-plugin?
[11:59] <EvaLuaTe> hello world
[11:59] <crashanddie_> saju_m, no, they're a bit different, it really depends on what you want to do
[11:59] <Myx0x3> Licuadora: put them on a usb drive, and run bios and find flash utility
[11:59] <saju_m> by default iptables installed in my system
[12:00] <Licuadora> Myx0x3: I'll see if  have that option in my Motherboard
 how check is it enabled or not?
[12:00] <trojan_spike> sresu, the lot,, go to the real player home page , download the linux one
[12:00] <Myx0x3> Licuadora: yeah, look for flash utility
[12:00] <crashanddie_> saju_m, service iptables status
[12:00] <sresu> trojan_spike: How to install real player in Ubuntu?
[12:01] <EvaLuaTe> I wrote a program (a fork of an existing one) and I would like to create a deb package for ubuntu. Should I do this myself, or should I submit it to someone from ubuntu, to package it?
[12:01] <jrib> !packaging | EvaLuaTe
[12:01] <jrib> EvaLuaTe: both options are ok, see the NewPackages link
[12:01] <trojan_spike> sresu, http://forms.real.com/real/realone/intl/focus.html
[12:01] <EvaLuaTe> jrib, ok, thank you very much
[12:01] <crashanddie_> saju_m, http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch14_:_Linux_Firewalls_Using_iptables
[12:01] <gnosek> I can't remember a single upgrade (even from consecutive versions) that worked smoothly, so especially if the procedure is to upgrade 8.10->9.04->9.10->10.04 or similar (I'm settling for LTS), I might as well reinstall
[12:02] <jrib> gnosek: like I said, you don't use apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade
[12:02] <Licuadora> Myx0x3,  Nah, I don't have any Flash Utility option, I have Boot USB first, Will that work?
[12:02] <EvaLuaTe> jrib, also, one more question if you don't mind. My package is now in beta status (it compiles and runs fine from what I can tell, it might have some bugs though). Should I only submit it when it's stable or does beta do too?
[12:02] <the_german> hi @ all doenst anyone here know whether "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-xen-server" is working again on Ubuntu 10.10? Is still broken on 10.04
[12:02] <crashanddie_> Licuadora, no, booting is for booting an operating system
[12:02] <jrib> gnosek: you're right though that it will probably be faster to reinstall in this case since you can't skip releases unless its LTS -> LTS
[12:03] <Myx0x3> Licuadora: no.. did you look everywhere?
 thanks
[12:03] <Licuadora> Myx0x3, Maybe because I have an Intel MoBo?
[12:04] <crashanddie_> Licuadora, this should help: http://video.intel.com/?fr_story=bb824fee64ab973e837b70b45da3c80f0caab61c&rf=bm
[12:04] <gnosek> jrib: ok, thanks
[12:05] <Myx0x3> Licuadora: how old is it?
[12:05] <crashanddie_> Licuadora, though, that's for windows -- though, the intel website should provide you with plenty amount of information
[12:05] <Licuadora> crashanddie_,  I have Ubuntu, not Windows
[12:05] <trojan_spike> Licuadora, this is to flash bios through ubuntu :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789
[12:05] <Licuadora> crashanddie_,  And no, there is no info for Linux, they assume you are an expert
[12:06] <bubbancs> Is here someone who can help mi with a konikaminolta bizhub 163 install on ubuntu ?
[12:06] <Licuadora> Myx0x3, It's maybe 3 to 5 years old, but only 2 years of use

[12:10] <crashanddie_> Licuadora, just read the readme file that is provided with the latest update for your mobo

[12:11] <depesz> hi
[12:12] <depesz> i'm using chrooted environment with minimal software installed in chroots.
[12:12] <depesz> just upgraded the chroot to lucid, and now I can't start (for example) atd, because it fails with:
[12:12] <depesz> start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
[12:12] <funkyweasel> I upgraded my home dev box from 9.10 to 10.04 and now usb keyboard does not respond and ps2 keyboard only numlock works at login.  I can use sysreq to get to a prompt, but disabling noapic has not helped.  Can anyone help me unbrick my linux box?
[12:12] <F3LW0LF> funkyweasel, upgrade to 10.10
[12:13] <sresu> trojan_spike: Is there a way that I redirect the link to play via external player or real player? I tried in applicationas part of preferences in moxilla..
[12:13] <crashanddie_> depesz, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[12:14] <crashanddie_> depesz, in the chroot
[12:14] <trojan_spike> do u know what you are looking for on that site?? i mean it might be nothing,, just an advert to get u using r-player
[12:14] <funkyweasel> F3LW0LF: I need to be on LTS for this box.  Cheers though.
[12:14] <Licuadora> AllIt's useless...
[12:14] <depesz> crashanddie_: did it. it didn't print anything, and I still can't run atd.
[12:14] <F3LW0LF> funkyweasel, any sepecific reason for your LTS choice?
[12:14] <F3LW0LF> specific*
[12:14] <crashanddie_> F3LW0LF, maybe "Long Term Support" is a hint?
[12:15] <funkyweasel> F3LW0LF: Yes.
[12:15] <F3LW0LF> crashanddie_, don't give me that attitude,please
[12:15] <F3LW0LF> 10.04 doesn't work on my laptop, altough it's a LTS release, 10.10 works..
[12:15] <F3LW0LF> weird eh?
[12:16] <funkyweasel> F3LW0LF: Weird... and massively dissapointing in an otherwise excellent distro.  The LTS is supposed to be the stable one after all.
[12:16] <crashanddie_> well, it being stable doesn't imply it's bug-free
[12:16] <F3LW0LF> funkyweasel, that's my reason for recommending 10.10 to you
[12:16] <F3LW0LF> 10.04 seems to be more buggy then 10.10
[12:17] <crashanddie_> depesz, sudo dpkg giving any output?
[12:18] <funkyweasel> 10.04 known to have issues with older boxes?
[12:18] <depesz> crashanddie_: i'm working on root, so sudo is not necessary. but dpkg with what options?
[12:18] <crashanddie_> none
[12:18] <depesz> crashanddie_: dpkg --configure -a ? it didn't print anything.
[12:18] <funkyweasel> Argh, well if 10.10 is the only answer then 10.10 it is.
[12:19] <depesz> crashanddie_: dpkg without options prints normal help screen,s tarting with "dpkg: need an action option"
[12:19] <F3LW0LF> funkyweasel, you can try to run 10.10 live first?
[12:19] <F3LW0LF> if it works, you can be happy ^_^
[12:19] <crashanddie_> depesz, ok, just checking there wasn't anything funky going on with your system as a whole
[12:19] <F3LW0LF> i was like "WHAT THE F-----" when 10.10 worked O.o
[12:19] <F3LW0LF> didn't really expect it
[12:20] <depesz> crashanddie_: i found this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/430224
[12:20] <depesz> crashanddie_: but when I do the divert thing - /etc/init.d/atd doesn't complain any more, but doesn't start the service anyway!
[12:22] <isbric> how do i "low level" format an lvm partition? is it posible?
[12:22] <tripelb> I wish: zoom-in was in my r-click on browser  --- 10.04
[12:23] <crashanddie_> depesz, that's because the divert thing doesn't even bother starting the service
[12:23] <crashanddie_> depesz, if my diagonal-reading is correct
[12:23] <depesz> crashanddie_: ok. sorry - i have *abolutely* no idea what that means.
[12:23] <depesz> perhaps it's a problem with muy english.
[12:23] <depesz> anyway - all i want it to be able to start services in chroot.
[12:23] <zhangxinhui> hi
[12:24] <crashanddie_> I'm afraid that's as far as my knowledge goes. Sorry.
[12:24] <funkyweasel> How do I upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 at prompt?  "sudo do-release-upgrade" doesn't.
[12:26] <histo> funkyweasel: it should
[12:26] <histo> !upgrade
[12:26] <funkyweasel> histo: np, I see my mistake I think
[12:26] <isbric> funkyweasel: change your repositorys, and do sudo dist-upgrade
[12:26] <bazhang> isbric, bad advice
[12:26] <dizz3r> funkyweasel: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade
[12:26] <isbric> bazhang: why?
[12:26] <bazhang> funkyweasel, update-manager-core installed (that's the name iirc)
[12:27] <histo> funkyweasel: didi you install update-manager-core and edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal
[12:27] <funkyweasel> histo: This is what I missed :)
[12:27] <histo> isbric: no
[12:27] <bazhang> isbric, unstable and unsupported , dont recommend it here
[12:27] <histo> isbric: it won't remove packages that are unsupported etc...
[12:27] <funkyweasel> cheers folks!
[12:28] <cjae> is there something in ubuntu yoo manage the moving or copying of files, specifically across a lan?

[12:38] <SC-M> for checking the status of modem and others huh..
[12:38] <SC-M> it's not the problem
[12:38] <SC-M> my problem is on WVDIAL

[12:38] <SC-M> what is wvdial?
[12:39] <llutz_> !info wvdial

[12:41] <karthick87> Every certain amount of time, Ubuntu checks my filesystems and it creates several empty "lost+found" folders. Can I disable this feature? Is there any way that Ubuntu deletes automatically these folders if they are empty?

[12:54] <brahmana> Hi all,
[12:55] <brahmana> When I login to my Ubuntu server machine it says there are 8 updates, 3 of which are security updates.
[12:55] <brahmana> How can I list the currently available updates?
[12:55] <brahmana> on command line that is.
[12:56] <Pici> brahmana: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:56] <llutz_> brahmana: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade -s
[12:56] <brahmana> thank you Pici and llutz_
[12:56]  * brahmana reads up about both those commands... 
[12:56] <Pici> llutz_: aptitude is no longer installed by default.
[12:57] <freakynl> hi, anyone aware of a disk benchmark? Preferably one that can test random IOps (preferably random by a large distance)? Most tools I see require a filesystem and thus actually only result filesystem (on that disk) performance
[12:57] <llutz_> Pici: have patience, old man need some time longer to learn that :(
[12:57] <n3rV3> maedox, i am not that good with iptables so you need to seach it

[13:02] <SC-M> no working.. no reason.. no connection..
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> and what kind of modem is that?
[13:03] <F3LW0LF> Dr_Willis, blackshirt, he doesn't want to get helped, cuz he doesn't give the info we need.
[13:03] <SC-M> ok ok fine fine

[13:11] <iszak> Is there any DTV/HDTV software on ubuntu?
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> iszak:  clarify what you mean.
[13:13] <SC-M> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/528685/
[13:13] <iszak> Basically taking input of a television signal and outputting it onto my screen
[13:13] <Guest86284> dmesg
[13:13] <Dcite> iszak: To watch DTV or broadcast it?
[13:13] <iszak> watch
[13:13] <iszak> hence the /input/.
[13:13] <iszak> Something like Blaze HDTV.
[13:13] <Dcite> iszak: Do you have a capture card capable of DTV already?
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> Theres several tv tuner apps out there. even vlc and mplayer  an do it. if you have a tv tuner.
[13:14] <Dalarist> I'm having a few somewhat major issues with my onboard Realtek 8112L Gigabit nic.  It won't work on boot, but works fine if I 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'  and I think it's only negotiating for 10mbps.
[13:14] <iszak> Dr_Willis, naturally yes hence is why I am asking
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> MythTV is the 'defacto' tv 'system'  - it can do amazing things once you get it setup.

[13:14] <Packet> does anyone know what files i need to build pygtk?
[13:14] <S-CM> Hey, This is my pastebin (for modem) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/528685/
[13:15] <iszak> airtonix, my dtv/hdtv didn't find anything, but thanks.
[13:15] <Packet> :)
[13:15] <F3LW0LF> S-CM, try to install your modem, wait for the error, show me that DMESG
[13:15] <airtonix> Packet, start reading the "easy compiling howto" on the ubuntu wiki
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> !info pytgk
[13:15] <Packet> do i need to do this

[13:15] <Dr_Willis> Packet:  is tehre an older version in the repos or somthing?

[13:16] <Packet> i compile python 2.7
[13:16] <Packet> from source
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get build-dep python-pygtk
[13:16] <Packet> ok
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> to pull in all needed deps for pytgk. then use the source to compile..
[13:16] <rigved> !info pygtk
[13:16] <nigelb> !info python-gtk2
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> all needed 'dev' packages are what build-dep pulls in
[13:17] <Pici> evilrapper: We can't really support failures from random svn repositories here.  Try asking in #metasploit
[13:17] <airtonix> rigved, its actually called : python-gtk2
[13:17] <Packet> i got a error
[13:17] <rigved> airtonix: ya, i saw that :)

[13:18] <Pici> Packet: Python2.7 is in the Maverick (10.10) repositories.

[13:18] <Packet> i use 9.10

[13:20] <Dr_Willis> !intrepid
[13:20] <janhouse> does evince support annotations?
[13:21] <Bromsklss> Pici, ubottu: Ah! I wonder why Intrepid is mentioned in my configuration. I am running 10.4!
[13:21] <krish> guys i just ran apticron manually as is written in its cron configuration
[13:21] <Dalarist> I need help getting my NIC to behave correctly, I've tried everything I can think of but can't get it to work on boot or negotiate a speed greater than 10mbps
[13:21] <krish> it is taking so much time to run
[13:21] <Pici> Bromsklss: Then you should remove those lines from /etc/apt/sources.list or modify your software sources accordingly.
[13:21] <krish> not even knowing what its doing
[13:21] <krish> where does it store the logs?
[13:23] <Rickardo1> I am looking for a load balancing enviroment, which is the best way to hold a folder and its files in sync?
[13:24] <krish> Rickardo1, use rsync?
[13:24] <Bromsklss> Pici: I'm afraid I don't feel safe messing about too much in that file. What changes should I make and what have I done to prevent them from happening automatically? (I would post the file, but I suspect the flood filter would catch me.)
[13:24] <Rickardo1> krish: is there any delay?
[13:24] <krish> Rickardo1, what delays? the file diff copy delay over the network will always be there
[13:24] <krish> that depends on where the two machines are and what kind of network
[13:24] <Rickardo1> krish: Does it runs like a service ?
[13:25] <rigved> !rsync | Rickardo1
[13:25] <krish> Rickardo1, write a cron job

[13:25] <krish> er
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> Bromsklss:  your version of ubuntu is past its END of life. You either need to upgrade.. or edit that file to point to the archvie (EOL) servers.. I suggest upgradeing.
[13:25] <krish> rigved,
[13:25] <Pici> Bromsklss: You should be able to just uncheck the intrepid repositories in the software sources editor in software center.
[13:25] <Pici> Dr_Willis: Hes running Lucid.
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> was he? i missed it in the flood. :)
[13:26] <Pici> Indeed )
[13:26] <llutz_> Rickardo1: read about inotify, inowatch
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> odd the upgrader dident remove/commend those entries.
[13:27] <sresu> Which application can play OGM video (ogg)?
[13:28] <coz_> sresu,   totem    vlc   mplayer
[13:28] <sresu> coz_: VLC gives error- No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "WMA2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
[13:28] <coz_> sresu,  do you have all of the codecs installed?
[13:29] <coz_> sresu,   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:29] <krish> anyone on apticron?
[13:29] <sresu> coz_: Like?
[13:29] <greppy> krish: ?
[13:29] <coz_> sresu,  and if after that  you dont want openjre  for java  you can uninstall them via synaptic
[13:30] <Bromsklss> Pici: I'm looking at "Software sources" now, but nothing called "intrepid" is checked. Shall I post my "/etc/apt/sources.list"?
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  somthing is odd.. a ogm/ogg souldent be a wma2 codec as far as i know.
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  try menplayer  and the w32codecs package.
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> gmplayer
[13:31] <Dr_Willis>  I typoed.
[13:32] <coz_> sresu,  you can get w32codecs from here   http://packages.medibuntu.org/
[13:32] <Pici> Bromsklss: Please.  Use http://paste.ubuntu.com
[13:32] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: well ogg like avi and mkv are containers in theory they can hold anything
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> Id almost bet it was a wmv someone renamed..
[13:33] <jsec> Where are crash logs located? My laptop keeps locking up at least once a day, and I'm trying to figure out why.
[13:33] <coz_> sresu,  just choose your version then scroll down and choose  32 or 64 bit depending on your system ..click on that then scroll down to "Download w32codecs" or 64
[13:33] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: could be ;P
[13:33] <erUSUL> jsec: /var/log/
[13:33] <Pici> Bromsklss: brb, need to do something for work.
[13:34] <jsec> erUSUL, thanks.
[13:34] <Bromsklss> Pici: OK.
[13:34] <erUSUL> jsec: but in the case of hard locks/crashes there are no guranties that anything gets logged
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> vlc should be able to play thst thing.. odd..
[13:35] <coz_> sresu,  do you have a link for the particular .ogg file you are trying to play?
[13:36] <sresu> coz_: Nope, sorry. Its on my HDD
[13:36] <Dcite> Dr_Willis: sresu Perhaps you can try to use mplayer with codecs-win32 installed?
[13:36] <coz_> sresu,  oh ok :) understood
[13:36] <sresu> But I'm trying what I'm being suggested to try
[13:36] <Dcite> Dr_Willis: sresu I've been wondering why WMA2(windows media audio 2?) is in an oggfile..
[13:37] <sresu> sresu: I've almost found the reason
[13:37] <coz_> sresu,  if you have all of the codecs installed  .ogg should play with vlc with no issues at all
[13:37] <sresu> Dcite: I've almost found the reason
[13:37] <sresu> arg
[13:37] <sresu> I'll see
[13:37] <sresu> Thanks
[13:38] <Karen_m> I shutdown mysql, and it pops right back up.. what is that about?
[13:38] <Dcite> coz_: I thought vlc only implements FFMepgs libavcodec, does it handle more than that?
[13:38] <Dcite> Karen_m: How are you shuting it down?
[13:38] <coz_> Dcite,  well I havent found any format that vlc doesn work with
[13:39] <coz_> Dcite,  I also like mplayer  have switched to vlc.... even though I used to condemn linux vlc in the past...oops  eating my own words :)
[13:39] <Dcite> coz_: VLC and mplayer are rivals for supporting the most video formats, so I'm in no position to argue. Just wondering if it handles win32 codecs too.
[13:39] <Karen_m> /etc/init.d/mysql stop   ... that restarted it (mysql shows id 8) for the connection.    mysqladmin shutdown (it restarts again)... the connection id will be 1200 and then reset back to 8 when both commands are run
[13:39] <cloversg> anyone here running software raid with bigger than 2T volume sizes?  I need some experential help
[13:40] <Dcite> coz_: I had a few videos that broke mplayer but worked in vlc (mplayer plays those too now =P)
[13:40] <jsec> erUSUL, yeah /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog didn't seem to have anything of relevance... thanks for the heads up anyways
[13:40] <Dcite> Karen_m: try "service mysql stop"
[13:40] <Karen_m> that seems to have worked, thank you!
[13:40] <Karen_m> we'll see shortly
[13:41] <Dcite> Karen_m: I also believe when you did that it should have said something about upstart taking over.
[13:41] <cloversg> I need help with GPT on a software raid voume of > 2T
[13:41] <realtecho> Hello everyone,I want to install a system from ubuntu alternate edition,and i will install X , twm , and notify-osd but not gnome,Can notify-osd work with twm without gnome?
[13:42] <Dalarist> Alright, so I'm having issues with my NIC, I can't get it to work on boot, but it works sort of if it use sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart.

[13:44] <cloversg> notreve, use lspci /
[13:44] <Dalarist> cloversg: I was thinking that, so I went to asus (maker of my motherboard) and found some LinuxSupportDrivers as they call them.  and can't get them to compile.  If it sounds like driver issues, would you have a few minutes to help me through this compile?
[13:44] <blackshirt> sosaited: what you mean, alternate and live cd installer ??
[13:45] <cloversg> Dalarist, I'm not that conversant with compiling drivers, it would help by locating which driver is used for the mb first through documentation
[13:45] <sosaited> blackshirt: I am trying to install 10.10 by mounting the ISO in grub, but I am getting can't load kernel error. When I looked at the ISO, there is no casper folder which is supposed to have init and vmil files
[13:45] <cloversg> Dalarist, most of the mbs from Asus work directly with ubuntu
[13:46] <Dalarist> cloversg: Well I know the chipset and it's a Realtek 8112L.  Not sure how I'd find what drivers are used.
[13:46] <sresu> coz_: No luck with w32codecs. Same error

[13:48] <blackshirt> sosaited:  alternate cd is like debian installer cd... when maverick live cd installer use casper live system.. it's different layout..
[13:48] <Dalarist> cloversg: 10.10, fresh install.
[13:48] <gartral|p> ufficio: why did you invoke !list?
[13:49] <blackshirt> Rudo: just ask your question ..
[13:49] <cloversg> Why not try booting the 10.10 live cd and see whether the network works?  So far only the Alteros chipsets have problems
[13:49] <Rudo> what I use to develop software for xwindow in ubuntu?
[13:49] <Rudo> is xwindow the windows of ubuntu?
[13:49] <CGo> Hey guys. Is anyone familiar with resolution issues using an Nvidia Quadro FX 3400 on Ubuntu 10.10, using Nvidia drivers?
[13:50] <CGo> Using the restricted drivers the max. resolution is 1360x768
[13:50] <sosaited> blackshirt: Where are the files that are in casper folder in Desktop cd, in the alternate ISO?
[13:50] <Gnea> Rudo: Xwindows refers to the X11 system that provides the underlying GUI constructs for Ubuntu.  The window manager or desktop manager provide everything on top of the mouse cursor that makes everything look nice and tick.
[13:51] <Rudo> and what software i use to develop software graphics for linux?
[13:51] <Rudo> ubuntu
[13:51] <shcherbak> Rudo: gnome or kde (kubuntu) or Xfce (xbuntu)
[13:52] <searchfgold> GIMP
[13:52] <Gnea> Rudo: well that depends on what kind of software you want to make and who your target audience is
[13:52] <sresu> Dr_Willis: MPlayer gives this error - Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[13:52] <gartral|p> shcherbak: xubuntu
[13:52] <Gnea> Rudo: most of the time, you'd be fine with GTK or QT
[13:52] <shcherbak> Rudo: Qt and GTK this where you start
[13:53] <Rudo> ty very much friends
[13:53] <olvap> hi
[13:53] <shcherbak> Gnea: you type too fast
[13:53] <Gnea> shcherbak: you don't type fast enough :)

[13:55] <mbeierl> my googlefu is not strong today.  can an iphone4 be managed using gtkpod?
[13:56] <Gnea> olvap: it lets whatever is contained within it continue to run without you having to be there
[13:56] <sosaited> blackshirt: They were actually in install folder. I am going to see if it works or will I need to use Desktop ISO.
[13:56] <Gnea> !iphone
[13:56] <cloversg> mbeierl, I think you need to jailbreak your phone first
[13:56] <blackshirt> sosaited: i think, alternate cd has more capabilities ..
[13:57] <funkyweasel> I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, which killed my keyboard and I could not log in.  I used sysrq magic to break out to a prompt and upgraded to 10.10.  Now I no longer have a desktop, and trying to install ubuntu-desktop results in "already the newest version".
[13:57] <mbeierl> cloversg: ooo.  that does not sound good.  k. will go search that and ask more if it doesn't make sense.  thanks!
[13:57] <funkyweasel> So firstly - thanks for the advice on upgrading to 10.10 - it's broken my system further.
[13:59] <cloversg> mbeierl, jailbreaking is now legal
[13:59] <rkokkelk> is it possible to stream video from an video download
[13:59] <cloversg> rkokkelk, play your downloaded video back from vlc and stream it
[13:59] <mbeierl> cloversg: ok.  do you know - does it make sense to "initialize" it with a real itunes install first?  I remember something about having to do that once long ago
[14:00] <funkyweasel> Can I revert back from 10.10 to 10.04?
[14:00] <rkokkelk> cloversg: but I have to download it before I could stream, I mean could I stream just from the source in any way
[14:00] <cloversg> mbeierl, I think the new jailbreak is cool, as it is just a software override.  When you connect it to iTunes and there is a new version/upgrade of IOS it overrides the jailbreak
[14:01] <cloversg> rkokkelk, why not ask others to just connect to the streaming video site?
[14:01] <mbeierl> cloversg: was there a howto you followed?
[14:02] <rigved> !downgrade | unkyweasel
[14:02] <cloversg> google it from the net.  I am waiting for my warranty to run out before I try it as only in my country, the warranty is linked to IOS4
[14:02] <cloversg> there is even a video on Youtube to show you how
[14:02] <rigved> !downgrade | funkyweasel
[14:03] <funkyweasel> rigved: So I should have ignored the guy saying, "upgrading to 10.10 will fix the problems 10.04 caused"?
[14:03] <funkyweasel> Super
[14:03] <funkyweasel> Should have followed my instincts...
[14:03] <mbeierl> cloversg: ah, ok, thanks!
[14:04] <joe85> how do I know if I am running 32bit or 64bit ubuntu?
[14:04] <jpds> joe85: uname -a
[14:04] <mbeierl> joe85: uname -a from a terminal will tell you
[14:04] <joe85> tyvm
[14:05] <mbeierl> joe85: if it says "x86_64" near the end of the line, it's a 64 bit kernel
[14:05] <joe85> no it just says i686
[14:05] <jm_> 3495495*&%%$#
[14:06] <jm_> hello boys and girls
[14:06] <jpds> joe85: Then you're running 32-bit.
[14:06] <mbeierl> joe85: then your kernel is 32
[14:06] <chandru_in> Is there a way to disable auto wrapping when sending plain text mails from evolution?
[14:07] <Jinxed-> my eth0 interface doesn't come up automatically... any ideas what it says
[14:08] <Dalarist> cloversg: So I'm working on downloading the live cd to test the networking there but it will take a while any thing you can think of for me to check in the mean time?
[14:08] <cdubya> I'm trying to install some printers and getting an error about size mismatch. I did an apt-get update and it didn't change anything. I manually downloaded the package and went to install it but it tells me to use the version in the software channel. How can I get this to install?
[14:12] <Dalarist> Jinxed-: You mean it won't work on boot?
[14:12] <OltreIrc`15701> Ciao a tutti!!!
[14:13] <Dalarist> Jinxed-: But you can get it working manually?

[14:13] <isbric> could someone helt me with a lvm related issue, im creating a lv partition, it will contain another pv from a guest os, however i need to wipe the pv before any install can proceed, one way to do this is by using "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg/test02-disk" but that takes for ever, i need somthing like pvcreate -Z y does. any ideas?
[14:13] <Tony_Ltop> anyone know if the intel 3495 microcode bug also effects the abgn intel card?
[14:15] <rigved> amr: is your wireless router set to: "Do not broadcast SSID" ?
[14:15] <amr> nope
[14:15] <amr> i can see the SSID fine
[14:16] <amr> along with all the SSIDs in this area
[14:16] <dewy> hi, im trying to setup a RAID subversion box with ubuntu - has anyone done this before?
[14:17] <CGo> I might have another cause for the resolution issue.. I'm using a 23" TFT, but Ubuntu recognizes my screen as "Generic CRT" - anybody know of a way to set it to a Generic LCD?
[14:17] <gryllida> hi. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/528711/ pkg-config doesn't work. why and what can i do?
[14:17] <lzweekly> ?
[14:18] <rigved> !network | amr
[14:18] <amr> did you read what i said?
[14:18] <jrib> gryllida: why do you expect that to work?
[14:18] <amr> its not just wireless, its wired too
[14:18] <alienmindtrick> who's the empathy guru here?  i'm trying to set it up for voip and need some help
[14:19] <gryllida> jrib, some program won't install, and it relies on running that command.
[14:19] <jrib> gryllida: what program?
[14:19] <gryllida> jrib: an ircd won't see gnutls when I do ./compile, says it can not see it installed on the system, though libgnutls-dev is installed
[14:20] <gryllida> it needs it for ssl
[14:20] <jrib> gryllida: what ircd?
[14:20] <gryllida> er. a ./configure, not ./compile. it's inspircd.
[14:20] <jrib> gryllida: inspircd is in the repositories, use the repositories
[14:21] <horrible> !ask | alienmindtrick
[14:21] <rigved> amr: for wired, maybe this will help - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWiredNetworkCards
[14:21] <jrib> !info inspircd | gryllida
[14:21] <funkyweasel> Ah, right.  Needed to disable nvidia driver in xconf to get 10.10 desktop.
[14:22] <jrib> gryllida: as for why your pkg-config is doing unexpected things... what is the output of « which pkg-config »?
[14:22] <alienmindtrick> can i use google voice as my voip in empathy and if so, how do i go about setting it up?
[14:22] <searchfgold> that ubottu thing is REALLY cool :-)
[14:23] <gryllida> jrib: # which pkg-config
[14:23] <gryllida>  usr/local/bin/pkg-config
[14:23] <amr> anyone any ideas about my general networking issue in 10.10?
[14:23] <jrib> gryllida: see compiling things outside of the repositories is causing all sorts of problems for you. Uninstall the pkg-config you compiled and whatever else you compiled that's available through the repositories and use the repositories
[14:24] <funkyweasel> And... bwahahaaha the keyboard doesn't work in 10.10 login either!
[14:24] <funkyweasel> Bag of...
[14:24] <amr> seems a kernel issue
[14:24] <gryllida> jrib: inspircd1.1 in the repository?o_O it's old... I can't use that.
[14:24] <Tayfrenwyn> I'm trying to mount a iso using gmount and I can't seem to find my drives in the media folder. Did they get moved?
[14:24] <ionelu> hello
[14:24] <funkyweasel> amr: Can I resolve that, or do I have to go back to 9.04 on that box?
[14:24] <amr> thanks for being a useless turd, rigved
[14:25] <gryllida> jrib: I installed pkg-config from the repositories, but not the server.
[14:25] <jrib> gryllida: maybe, but you also compiled pkg-config for some strange reason.
[14:25] <resno> whats the command to do a wifi scan? iwiconlist <device> scan?
[14:25] <llutz_> resno: iwlist s
[14:26] <gryllida> jrib, no, it was 'apt-get install pkg-config'
[14:26] <funkyweasel> Well at least I am back to the original problem, more or less.  From the top now:
[14:26] <gryllida> I din't compile it
[14:26] <rigved> funkyweasel: you should try out the wireless troubleshooting guide. i do not have any more knowledge regarding this. or you can wait for someone else to help.
[14:26] <Angel-SL> gryllida: hi, i've come in to witness the.. garbage?
[14:26] <jrib> gryllida: yes you did compile it... that's the only way it would end up in /usr/local/
[14:26] <rigved> amr: you should try out the wireless troubleshooting guide. i do not have any more knowledge regarding this. or you can wait for someone else to help.
[14:26] <gryllida> Angel-SL, ``garbage''? what're you referring to?
[14:26] <funkyweasel> rigved: I am not having a wireless problem - thanks for playing though!
[14:27] <Vanscot> hi...
[14:27] <gryllida> jrib, it's hardy server edition, and no I didn't compile it, i'm 100% sure. I used apt-get.
[14:27] <rigved> funkyweasel: ya, sorry about that. good that you got your display back. :)
[14:27] <jrib> gryllida: in any case, remove the /usr/local/ stuff....
[14:27] <Vanscot> Is there a way to tell the automount for dvds/cds to mount the disc into a specific folder instead of one named like the label of the disc?
[14:27] <funkyweasel> rigved: Cheers.  Pity I am back to not being able to use the keyboard in an xsesh!
[14:28] <rakott> hello, anyone use Reconstructor?
[14:28] <Vanscot> (Using UNR, 10.04)
[14:28] <jrib> !anyone | rakott
[14:28] <jrib> Vanscot: there's probably some udev rule you can modify...
[14:28] <rakott> ...
[14:29] <Vanscot> udev rule?
[14:29] <Vanscot> googling that.
[14:29] <gryllida> jrib. If I remove '/usr/local/bin/pkg-config' (which is where pkg-config is installed to), then what do I do next for it to work?
[14:29] <jrib> Vanscot: just make sure you back things up before modifying things
[14:29] <Vanscot> :S
[14:29] <jrib> gryllida: then your system will use the version of pkg-config that you apt-got and it will find gnutls
[14:29] <Vanscot> "Look mom, no hands!" kind of user here.
[14:30] <jrib> Vanscot: there's no "easy" way to do what you asked that I know of
[14:30] <quiescens> funkyweasel: are you able to ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a console terminal screen?
[14:30] <Vanscot> :(
[14:30] <Angel-SL> gryllida: whereis pkg-config
[14:30] <rakott> I have problem in Reconstructor, i can edit only repo, i don't see any another edit page
[14:30] <jrib> Vanscot: that's just my "if you have no clue, here's where to start"
[14:30] <Vanscot> Tks..
[14:30] <Tayfrenwyn> I'm trying to mount a iso using gmount and I can't seem to find my dvd drives in the media folder. Did they get moved? If so where can I find them? Also handy to know for dvd::rip.
[14:32] <Vanscot> Crap...
[14:32] <Vanscot> no udevinfo.

[14:38] <Tayfrenwyn> Good morning. I'm trying to mount an iso using gmount and I can't seem to find my dvd drives in the media folder. Did they get moved? If so where can I find them? Also handy to know for dvd::rip.
[14:38] <Vanscot> Tayfrenwyn: you can always mount the iso with mount into any given directory.
[14:38] <Eryn_1983_FL> hey peeps  has anybody worked with awesome on  ubuntu karmic? iam  trying to get it to read my config file..  and it won't.
[14:39] <funkyweasel> I think I might have found what the problem is with the keyboard - in the xorg.log: "couldn't open module kbd"
[14:39] <funkyweasel> How do I resolve that?
[14:40] <jrk> hi
[14:41] <Tayfrenwyn> Vanscot: I've tried mounting it somewhere else and it tells me the folder is not empty.
[14:41] <quiescens> funkyweasel: just for simplicity's sake i would probably try renaming your xorg.conf and seeing how it runs with default settings before the rest
[14:41] <nero> Anyone here experienced with setting up a diskless boot with ubuntu?  I've got my boot server all up and running, but my client gets to: Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done.  before it just freezes up.

[14:43] <evinrows> hello, does empathy not load facebook friends for anyone else?
[14:44] <rigved> funkyweasel: also, since you have just upgraded to ubuntu 10.10, i suggest that you later also run - sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; (if you havn't already). this might also help.
[14:45] <funkyweasel> rigved: More solid advice.  Cheers
[14:45] <jrk> has there been any change in cryptdisk package from lucid to maverick - the problem is that I'm now unable to access my encrypted disk with correct passphrase?

[15:08] <Isenn> blue_anna: yes, i disabled swedish.. and now it is on english and i still have swedish spell check
[15:08] <blue_anna> ^^
[15:08] <Isenn> so it is now correct
[15:10] <ags_> please , save contacts 0.5
[15:11] <sresu_> Is it advisable to use BleachBit 0.8.0?
[15:11] <sresu_> !info bleachbit
[15:12] <searchfgold> bleachbit rocks
[15:12] <searchfgold> I use .8.0 and it works fine
[15:12] <searchfgold> just don't open up any other programs at the same time
[15:13] <Roasted_> I noticed on 10.10 with Tomboy notes I can save them to ubuntu one. I'd like to do that on my work laptop, whcih is 10.04, but I'm not seeing the ubuntu one option for synchronization. Is there any way around this?
[15:13] <komputes> Roasted_: upgrade to 10.10
[15:13] <Roasted_> komputes, that is not a solution. but thanks.
[15:14] <komputes> Roasted_: no, I recommend having the same platform and client versions on all computers sharing a U1 account
[15:14] <Roasted_> again, still not a solution.
[15:14] <Roasted_> I understand but its just tomboy notes Im trying to sync.
[15:14] <FlawW> Hello. I'd like to display on conky the volume level of 'External Mic' and 'Internal Mic'. I tried with ${mixer External Mic} but on Terminal, I get this error : conky: mixer.c:841: snd_mixer_handle_events: Assertion `mixer' failed. Any solution please ?
[15:14] <rohan> anyone familiar with rtorrent here?
[15:15] <jrib> rohan: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[15:15] <Pici> !br | ags_
[15:16] <rohan> how to put the throttle off on upload ... [am using debian os on a seedbox and connected to it using ssh]
[15:16] <ags_> please save program cntacts 0.5
[15:16] <komputes> Roasted_: you can try using the latest tomboy from the Tomboy Stable PPA - https://launchpad.net/~tomboy-packagers/+archive/stable
[15:17] <sresu_> searchfgold: Does it cause any problems after upgrade or update?
[15:18] <Roasted_> komputes, trying that now. thanks!
[15:18] <komputes> Roasted_: hope it's a solution.
[15:18] <Roasted_> me too. 10.04 works flawlessly, and it being an LTS makes me wnat to keep it on this system since this is my work laptop.
[15:18] <rohan> how to put the throttle off on upload ... [am using debian os on a seedbox and connected to it using ssh]? anyone?
[15:18] <Roasted_> One thing at home to be on 10.10 or the latest but here at work, 10.04 is sitting reallllly nice for now.
[15:19] <sresu_> !repeat | rohan
[15:19] <Roasted_> hmm, still doesnt have the ubuntu one option in th epreference menu
[15:19] <cdubya> bah, I can't get printers to install. Keep getting a size mismatch. Have done apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, removed partial packages out of /var/cache/apt/archives......what do I need to do to get printers to install correctly?
[15:20] <Mean_Admin> I set up a printer share in samba and ubuntu found the drivers: host-based drivers. Is there a way for CUPS/Samba to accept a PCL/PS file and print it locally ? Some win machines connecting to the print server are 64-bit and no drivers are available for them
[15:20] <searchfgold> sresu_: If you keep the software installed and upgrade, the software still works. As a general rule too.
[15:21] <sresu_> searchfgold: Yes, does it cause any system related problems?
[15:22] <searchfgold> sresu_: Not unless you keep other programs open and run it with "memory" checked.
[15:22] <searchfgold> sresu_: otherwise it works fine after upgrading.
[15:23] <sresu_> searchfgold: Would you elaborate what you mean by - run it with "memory" checked?
[15:23] <Isenn> Anyone know how you move NetworkManager applet in Ubuntu? There is no "Move" function when you right-click it
[15:23] <goltoof> !anyone
[15:23] <Isenn> Must be something special about it.. Used NetworkManager under plain Gnome / "Gentoo".. But there you was able to move it
[15:24] <Mean_Admin> Isenn: I think it's part of a tray
[15:24] <Mean_Admin> Isenn: a status tray and not an element on it's own
[15:24] <goltoof> Isenn,    systray icons can't really be moved
[15:24] <Isenn> Its like, in the center of the tray. Really missplaced
[15:24] <Isenn> Must be a patch for it
[15:25] <searchfgold> On opening the program as root, in the side panel there is an option under "System" where you can clean your Virtual Memory. I found that if I run firefox or some other program and do a bleachbit with this checked, my system gets seriously messed up. This is why bleachbit runs entirely from your Swap partition.

[15:25] <goltoof> sudo pkill gnome-panel should reset it for you
[15:26] <sresu_> searchfgold: Oh.. Thanks a lot.
[15:26] <searchfgold> sresu_: sure.
[15:27] <Mean_Admin> goltoof: but you can remove the systray, much like the Application dropdown menu, no ?
[15:27] <Isenn> goltoof: speaking to me? reset what? reset the networkmanager applet?
[15:27] <goltoof> Mean_Admin,   never tried it,  but you can remove each icon one by one, but why?
[15:28] <goltoof> Isenn,    yes I was speaking to you, sorry.    I mean reset gnome-panel... sometimes it gets quirky, and the best thing to do is reset.  I've had problems like systray icons showing in the middle, or icons disappearing.
[15:29] <Mean_Admin> goltoof: because you can certainly add Applicaiton menu on the tray and move it around..
[15:30] <goltoof> yes, but not in the systray,  ie you can't move a systray icon over to the quick links tray
[15:31] <Mean_Admin> goltoof: ow, I see, I thought the problem was the systray was badly placed altoghether but he probably means NM is badly positioned in the systray itself
[15:31] <gigirock> i have a program called pcl6 and works as pcl6 option file_input , what is the syntyax to use it as daemon in xinetd.d ?
[15:32] <goltoof> Mean_Admin,    ah, the power of the screenshot
[15:32] <blue_anna> if I am also using dnsmasq -- how do I include 127.0.0.1 at the top of resolv.conf ? each time I boot up I have to add it manually, since I upgraded to 10.10
[15:33] <ben_q> hey, is the whole output that's being displayed on bootup saved somewhere? /var/log/boot.log only holds a few lines
[15:33] <cns> hi
[15:34] <Isenn> ben_q: no, if you have not configure it manual you need to look at the TTY
[15:34] <kjelle> Hi. Anyone with a sensible guide as how to hack my Ubuntu 10.04 to run a script on dock and undock? It seems my /etc/acpi/ only holds an undock.sh script.
[15:34] <cns> hvg probs with 10.10 ubuntu... once I login I'm unable to see the appln & other menus.
[15:35] <Isenn> cns: create another user and try
[15:35] <blue_anna> kjelle, if there isn't already a good solution to that, I might be able to help if you want to try to manually figureit out
[15:35] <ben_q> Isenn, which terminal is the boot screen?
[15:35] <kjelle> blue_anna: how do I make acpi call e.g. /etc/acpi/dock.sh when I dock?
[15:35] <kjelle> blue_anna: I got ACPI_DOCK=y compiled, module thinkpad_acpi running etc

[15:37] <GooSe-ARG> perdon
[15:37] <GooSe-ARG> hola gente
[15:37] <blue_anna> GooSe-ARG, :) tranquilo .. buendia
[15:38] <BluesKaj> what's the command to disable desktop effects in the cli ?
[15:38] <BluesKaj> err from the cli
[15:39] <GooSe-ARG> hola....
[15:39] <smegal> i  need some help:(
[15:39] <blue_anna> kjelle, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Docking_Solutions#No_event_on_undock this covers the idea .. can you repurpose that to your needs?
[15:39] <mbeierl> BluesKaj: the only one I know of is "metacity --replace&" :)
[15:39] <smegal> i can't get ubuntu tweak to work
[15:39] <goltoof> GooSe-ARG,        /j #ubuntu-es
[15:40] <blue_anna> you write a script that seeks the device connect, I guess either in /sys or you can check in /proc or in /var/log/messages, for the proper event
[15:41] <notreve> geting fatal error when I'm trying to launch wc3 through wine, can someone help me here maybe?
[15:41] <goltoof> i like vimtutor...  are there any other cli based tutorials out there like it for bash, etc?

[15:46] <rhalff> hi I want to use the iedg driver from intel and use ubuntu, that driver however is very picky about the Xorg server used, from the top of my mind the newest xorg supported is 1.6, how can I install a specific x version and still use lucid or maybe even maverick ?
[15:46] <avo> where can I download the opensource bios drivers
[15:47] <Isenn> Seen a guide for Ubuntu 10.10 downgrade of php 5.3 -> php 5.2 that is good and not a ugly hack
[15:47] <Isenn> ?
[15:47] <Karen_m> what's the best software for keeping track of things using a flowchart... dia?
[15:48] <agentgasmask> Karen_m: I like dia
[15:48] <sisif> Hello ppl. This there anyway to have the bluetooth enabled at boot-time. I know for the 10.4 is was set by default? Any way I can set it like that in 10.10 also ?
[15:48] <tripelb> I wish: zoom-in was in my r-click on browser  --- 10.04
[15:48] <tripelb> possible?
[15:49] <agentgasmask> Karen_m: I use it for program flow-charting and electrical maps too.
[15:49] <Karen_m> i'm going to use it for my perl scripts->mysql tracking.. I cannot remember things after 3/4 months
[15:49] <agentgasmask> Karen_m: I also like how it doesn't restrict you to an 8.5x11 page like ooo does
[15:49] <blue_anna> I guess dia works, I think it is ugly and unintuitive though
[15:50] <tripelb> whats better blue_anna
[15:50] <Karen_m> blue_anna, what is better?
[15:50] <tripelb> :)
[15:50] <frxstrem> does anyone know how to get a Sis Mirage 3 graphics card to work with Ubuntu 10.10?
[15:50] <Wakko10Warner> The webcam of my eee pc 1001hx is detected by Ubuntu, but I can't get the camera to work with cheese
[15:50] <ben_q> does anyone know a screensaver that simulates lots of cli-output? like startup stuff etc.
[15:51] <Wakko10Warner> It's usb id is 13d3:5119
[15:51] <blue_anna> tripelb, Karen_m not sure that I like any of them. Omnigraffle on Mac is *okay* .. its still buggy and kinda limited.
[15:53] <Wakko10Warner> It is detected as a USB2.0 UVC VGA WebCam by JMicron Technologies vendor name=IMC Networks -- how do I get it to work.
[15:54] <gianluca_> anybody has problems with transmission?
[15:54] <gianluca_> when i open it
[15:54] <gianluca_> my net gets all sloppy
[15:54] <Fito> hello
[15:54] <Quagmire> Hello Guys, Did a fresh install of 10.04 yesterday and everything is fine, but I can't remember how to change the programs that load at start up. I have the rectangular magnifying glass program that loads at boot up and I would also like to stop Docky from loading. but don't want to uninstall it.
[15:55] <blue_anna> Quagmire, why 10.04 ?
[15:55] <Roasted_> where are ubuntu's executable files at? I'm having a very, very stupid problem with ubuntu/firefox. When I open a new site, it asks how I want to handle the .php file. Uh. I want yout o OPEN it! How can I adjust this?
[15:55] <Wakko10Warner> Can someone help me get my webcam to work with cheese and skype
[15:55] <datacrusher> lts?
[15:55] <blue_anna> Quagmire, if you are doing a fresh install, 10.10 is the current release of ubuntu
[15:55] <shebang_wafflesa> Roasted, they should be in /usr/bin ir /usr/locak/bin
[15:55] <Quagmire> It's a business oriented computer and just thought it would be easier since it's a LTS
[15:55] <Fito> friends... Working with 10.04 on a Classmate PC... I have some Function Keys not working..Any experiencies?
[15:56] <CGo> Does anybody know how to configure a monitor in Ubuntu?
[15:56] <CGo> That's the gist of it.
[15:56] <goltoof> Quagmire ,  System > Preferences > Startup Applications
[15:56] <Nattgew> gianluca_: you can limit the rates in transmission
[15:56] <searchfgold> Fito: which keyboard? just a regular one?
[15:56] <Wakko10Warner> Anybody know how to enable the web camera built into the eee pc netbook
[15:56] <CGo> I'm getting an unrecognized monitor with "Generic CRT" settings that are outright terrible.
[15:56] <Fito> Yes.. FN+F1 wireless ON / OFF
[15:57] <gianluca_> Nattgew, it's not about the rates
[15:57] <gianluca_> i'm barely downloading anything
[15:57] <Quagmire> Great day mother of Mary..... how in the #### did I miss that? LOL.
[15:57] <Fito> FN + F2 sleep (works ok)
[15:57] <goltoof> lol
[15:57] <Nattgew> gianluca_: what do you mean then?
[15:57] <sisif> exigt
[15:57] <CGo> I recall being able to configure a "Generic LCD" with a custom resolution in previous Ubuntu versions, why was this ability stripped from the new and "improved" distros?
[15:57] <gianluca_> Nattgew, for example i get disconnected from irc kinda often
[15:57] <gianluca_> if i have transmission open
[15:57] <rypervenche> Fito: What kind of computer are you using?
[15:57] <kjelle> blue_anna: hmm. i added the rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/ but it isnt called :)
[15:57] <Fito> FN+F3..F4..F5
[15:57] <Fito> volume works
[15:57] <shebang_wafflesa> Ubuntu uses function keys for turning off wireless, adjusting brightness, etc?
[15:57] <Fito> I'm using an Intel Classmate
[15:57] <Quagmire> Hi, my name is Quagmire I'm not an idiot, but I play one on IRC.
[15:58] <goltoof> CGo,   what card?
[15:58] <CGo> goltoof, Nvidia Quadro FX 3400
[15:58] <blue_anna> kjelle, did you also add the listener script?
[15:58] <shebang_wafflesa> It really is GNU/Windows ;P
[15:58] <searchfgold> gianluca_: This is normal.
[15:58] <blue_anna> kjelle, the one in init.d I think
[15:58] <jpds> Quagmire: OK, no room for trolls here, sorry.
[15:58] <goltoof> CGo,  you want to use nvidia control center instead
[15:58] <gianluca_> ah searchfgold
[15:58] <gianluca_> how is it normal?
[15:58] <Fito> shebang.. Yes.. Wireless, Brigth control  doesn' t work
[15:59] <kjelle> blue_anna: I added the udev rule, and the script in /usr/local/sbin/
[15:59] <Quagmire> ~[ jpds ]~ No, no, no I was taking a shot at MYSELF.
[15:59] <blue_anna> gianluca_, do you have an open port in your router?
[15:59] <goltoof> CGo,   should be in hardware drivers
[15:59] <kjelle> blue_anna: when I run the /usr/local/sbin/ script I get the output I want.
[15:59] <searchfgold> gianluca_: if you seed stuff, you get disconnected from lots of things.
[15:59] <gianluca_> blue_anna, i have set p2p on
[15:59] <kjelle> blue_anna: but i cant get the dock/undock to trigger the script
[15:59] <kjelle> blue_anna: I restarted udev after I added the rule
[15:59] <gianluca_> PnP, sorry
[15:59] <CGo> goltoof, no. Nvidia control center only displays the currently configured monitor.
[15:59] <bytesaber> bit confused with mount points in Gnome.  I could switch to root, and mount my smb shares via fstab, or as my mortal self I can do it via gnome with "ctrl+l" and enter my user/pass.    When I'm doing it as a user, where the heck am I mounting it to?
[15:59] <goltoof> CGo,   doesn't even recognize a second one?
[15:59] <Fito> I saw that others distros uses a script in order to enable the keys
[15:59] <blue_anna> kjelle, ok .. please do me a favour, pastie the two scripts and their filenames ?
[16:00] <blue_anna> just the two we created, not the undock.sh thing
[16:00] <CGo> goltoof, it only recognizes a "Generic CRT". "Unrecognized display" in the regular non-Nvidia "Monitors" screen.
[16:00] <searchfgold> gianluca_: You upload speed is inversely related to your download speed, and I can't even browse if I upload is >30KB/s
[16:00] <kjelle> blue_anna: sure
[16:00] <CGo> goltoof, in addition, the maximum resolution is 1360x768, instead of 1920x1080
[16:00] <Wakko10Warner> cheese returns "no camera found" but lsusb finds my camera ... please help
[16:01] <jacruth> hi
[16:01] <CGo> goltoof, also modifying the xorg.conf has zero effect
[16:01] <gianluca_> searchfgold, pretty weird
[16:01] <gianluca_> it's set to 10kb/s
[16:01] <gianluca_> and i have like 100kbs in upload
[16:01] <blue_anna> gianluca_, under Edit-» Preferences , Network tab, there is a "Port for incoming peers" -- what is the status ?
[16:01] <cantoma> guys, everytime i use Okular to print something the disk space is reduced. I don't know which file is being (incremented or created). Any ideas?
[16:01] <goltoof> CGo,    hmmm... well, I'd keep talking but I'm in the same boat  :P
[16:01] <jacruth> I have removed my /etc/group, does anyone know how could I restore it?
[16:01] <CGo> goltoof,  Though I think that resolution cap is to blame on the monitor
[16:01] <CGo> Heh, damned.
[16:01] <kjelle> blue_anna: http://pastebin.com/Jw6JMXcV
[16:01] <goltoof> CGo,   mine says CRT-1  and 1152x864
[16:01] <gianluca_> blue_anna, "closed"
[16:01] <Glasswalker> Hey, so I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook, installed VNC on it, so I can remote in. Checked it from home over LAN, worked fine. I have the port forwarded fine in my router. Went to work, won't connect.
[16:01] <Wakko10Warner> how do you get a webcam that is detected by the system but doesn't work with cheese or skype to work ????????????????????????
[16:01] <CGo> goltoof, ouch. You're worse off eh?
[16:02] <Glasswalker> Throws no error, just very quickly "Attempting to connect" then goes away with no error
[16:02] <goltoof> CGo,   could just be that it doesn't recognize older monitors?  it's a princeton, something from like 07
[16:02] <kjelle> blue_anna: if I do sh /usr/local/sbin/thinkpad-dock.sh, it runs my ~/bin/.._event scripts
[16:02] <jacruth> I have removed my /etc/group, does anyone know how could I restore it?
[16:02] <kjelle> blue_anna: manually :)
[16:02] <Glasswalker> Any thoughts what that might be?
[16:02] <CGo> goltoof, production date on this one was this summer.
[16:02] <searchfgold> gianluca_: try limiting your upload speed to like 2 KB/s and see if that does anything.
[16:02] <shebang_wafflesa> Isn't VNC a remote desktop program?
[16:02] <goltoof> CGo,     I get by :)    luckily I got my samsung 23" with 2048x1152
[16:02] <jpds> jacruth: Backups?
[16:02] <CGo> Acer.
[16:02] <b0wter> hey, I m trying to change my keyboard layout in a virtual terminal via "loadkeys" but i dont know the identifier for the "USA international (dead alt gr)" layout, any ideas where to find a table of layouts?
[16:02] <gianluca_> thanks searchfgold
[16:02] <Glasswalker> shebang_wafflesa: yes
[16:02] <kjelle> blue_anna: im thinking there must be more e.g. SUBSYSTEM or something, on that udev rule
[16:02] <goltoof> CGo,   i usually use the smaller one from cli and xchat :)
[16:02] <jacruth> jpds, are there automatic backups in Ubuntu?
[16:02] <jacruth> :3
[16:03] <jpds> jacruth: No.
[16:03] <shebang_wafflesa> glass:do you nkow how  it compares to X over ssh?
[16:03] <jacruth> lol
[16:03] <blue_anna> kjelle, yea that works .. you might move those to a global place later on but for now that is just fine
[16:03] <searchfgold> gianluca_: did it work?
[16:03] <jacruth> and what about some live cd, jpds ?
[16:03] <Glasswalker> shebang_wafflesa: performance wise, I have no idea. probably not as efficient. but it's a hell of a lot easier to use
[16:03] <gianluca_> searchfgold, let's see
[16:03] <blue_anna> but the script is not in your init.d
[16:03] <blue_anna> :)
[16:03] <CGo> goltoof, it's really the only reason I'm not using Ubuntu as a standard OS yet. I'd like to move my dev environment to this OS, but the resolution keeps bugging the hell out of me.
[16:03] <kjelle> blue_anna: I did cat /sys/devices/platform/dock.0/uevent, which said MODALIAS=platform:dock
[16:04] <shebang_wafflesa> yeah, i still haven't figured out how to get it to work, granted i really hae no need for a remote esktop
[16:04] <CGo> goltoof, and I recall facing this problem before. It used to work out of the box usually but sometimes I had to configure a Generic LCD manually.
[16:04] <blue_anna> kjelle, I lost the link I had reffered to earlier
[16:04] <CGo> goltoof, however that option has been stripped since 8.04 or something.
[16:04] <goltoof> CGo,    it's not a problem specific to ubuntu, you'll most likely run into the same problem on any other distro with the same monitor/card combo
[16:04] <jacruth> jpds?
[16:04] <kjelle> blue_anna: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Docking_Solutions#External_display_issues
[16:04] <goltoof> CGo,    more often than not video problems have to do with your card... nVidia is most widely supported for linux
[16:04] <jpds> jacruth: Probably not, because it will lack your system settings.
[16:04] <Quagmire> Thank you for the help guys, I really appreciate it and I completely agree jpds, there is nothing worse than an internet troll, but I guess it's ok to be a troll to myself. I'm sure it looked confusing, but it was just my attempt at self deprecating humor.
[16:05] <guest9211> hi
[16:05] <guest9211> can anyone help me?
[16:05] <blue_anna> oooh
[16:05] <jpds> !etckeeper | jacruth ; for next time
[16:05] <bobec> when I do modinfo r8169, I get a line saying "parm:           speed:force phy operation. Deprecated by ethtool (8). (array of int)". how would I set the speed using phy operation?
[16:05] <shebang_wafflesa> :facepalm:

[16:05] <CGo> goltoof, I don't think it is the card. Those prior experiences make me hint at the dodgy monitor recognition Ubuntu is pulling here.
[16:05] <jpds> !info etckeeper | jacruth
[16:05] <CGo> Or lack thereof, rather.
[16:05] <kjelle> blue_anna: i think i need to update that 81-.. udev rule
[16:05] <searchfgold> gianluca_: ???
[16:06] <CGo> Which isn't a problem, if I can manually configure it.
[16:06] <guest9211> when I click on System menu (at the top) and open it, then I hit Print_Screen button, it does not take the screenshot my my screen?
[16:06] <blue_anna> kjelle, did you reboot ?
[16:06] <goltoof> CGo,    well i got the same problem, unfortunately it doesn't bother me enough to delve into it now... good luck though!
[16:06] <blue_anna> kjelle, you dont have to -- just do sudo service udev restart
[16:07] <CGo> goltoof, I try to ignore it but in the end it's not what I'm used to and I get this anxious feeling like I'm working through a magnifying glass. Irritates me more than a bipolar woman.
[16:07] <gianluca_> see :(
[16:07] <goltoof> CGo, oh that's easy, get a better monitor :)
[16:07] <CGo> goltoof, I would, but it'll just show up as a Generic CRT anyway ;)
[16:07] <goltoof> CGo,    and it's not worse than a bipolar woman,  trust me,  i've been there!
[16:08] <kjelle> blue_anna: doesnt help :p
[16:08] <goltoof> CGo,    you sure?  you've tried with another monitor?   what vers monitor you got?
[16:08] <CGo> goltoof, I'd say they're equally annoying, but Ubuntu doesn't put out afterward. So it loses.
[16:08] <kjelle> blue_anna: or, i did that.
[16:08] <goltoof> CGo,   internet porn..... you should look into it
[16:08] <jacruth> jpds
[16:08] <kjelle> blue_anna: should i use acpi?
[16:09] <jacruth> I found a group.bak in /var/backups
[16:09] <blue_anna> kjelle, I'm not feeling so smart any more :P -- would you please undock it, run udevadm monitor, and then dock it ?
[16:09] <CGo> goltoof, that's what my Windows media center is for ;)
[16:09] <blue_anna> kjelle, see if the event is registering
[16:09] <kjelle> blue_anna: udevadm monitor reveals nothing :p
[16:10] <bobec> anyone know how to set my eth0 speed when modinfo tells me "parm: speed: force phy operation. Deprecated by ethtool (8). (array of int)"?
[16:10] <blue_anna> kjelle, you didnt even see the kernel message??
[16:10] <goltoof> CGo,   eewww......  that's like letting my grandmother organize my stash
[16:10] <goltoof> CGo,    vlc >  wmp
[16:10] <CGo> goltoof, the misses does. She's not Linux savvy.
[16:10] <kjelle> blue_anna: not much. I just ran acpid in foreground, but not much help there neither
[16:11] <maco2> goltoof: please try to keep it family-friendly (ie, lets not talk about adult videos here)
[16:11] <blue_anna> kjelle, like, this is what I see for a USB device: http://nopaste.dk/p2574  -- if you have no rule in udev, you should still see the kernel messages I think
[16:12] <kjelle> blue_anna: yepp, no udev rules seen like that. sec
[16:12] <goltoof> CGo,    what kind of monitor?
[16:13] <CGo> goltoof, 23" Acer LCD

[16:13] <bytesaber> once you add a smb point in /etc/fstab, how do you tell it to mount
[16:13] <goltoof> CGo,    oh... yeah that's too bad.
[16:13] <CGo> goltoof, How so?
[16:14] <kjelle> blue_anna: so, im getting a bit out of options as i cant make neither acpi or udev trigger on it.
[16:14] <kjelle> blue_anna: and the kernel is compiled to act on them
[16:14] <kjelle> blue_anna: or, get the signals that is.
[16:14] <jacruth> I have removed my /etc/group and I founded a group.bak in /var/backups : how could I restore it?
[16:14] <pinoyoragon> Can someone help me make gnome panel top and bottom reappear? after I changed my resolution, the panels were gone. Help please
[16:15] <goltoof> CGo,    your resolution on that monitor would drive anyone nuts.    I'd make sure no other drivers might be conflicting.  try removing the default source driver.  sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[16:15] <ish_> hey guys, i have an ssh question. I am sshing to another comp and running emacs, but the emacs runs inside the terminal not in another window. How do i set it up so that it runs in its own window?

[16:16] <ha55an> hi, is there an official document that talks about the size of swap Vs the size of ram for Ubuntu installation? i have a software company telling me that my server must have  a swap that's double the ram although my server has 64GB of ram and only 8 is being used ( their program checks on swap size). i need to prove them wrong.  can somebody help?
[16:17] <jrib> !swap | ha55an
[16:17] <jacruth> I have removed my /etc/group and I founded a group.bak in /var/backups : how could I restore it?
[16:17] <goltoof> CGo,   and try adding resolutions to xorg.conf,  if you haven't already
[16:17] <jrib> ha55an: you really only need swap to do things like suspend nowadays...
[16:17] <bytesaber> how do you mount your smb mount point after adding it to /etc/fstab?
[16:18] <CGo> goltoof, I did, no dice.
[16:18] <CGo> Sorry, phone
[16:18] <Tribaal> ha55an, it's not really necessary anymore. The old rule of thumb of "double the RAM size" is not relevant. I usually go with 2Gb on servers, "just because". But it's not really necessary (I never hit the cache)
[16:18] <blue_anna> kjelle, I'm thinking the (hid) events are the ones you want to trigger on .. but I'm not sure
[16:18] <searchfgold> ha55an: You shouldn't need more than 16 or 20 GB of swap space. Maybe you could find something in the wikipedia article or the official ubuntu documentation. In short, google it.
[16:19] <blue_anna> you can try changing "dock.0" to "hid"
[16:19] <jsec> Hi all. Laptop running 10.04. It hard locks at least once every 1-2 days. I've checked all the relevant logs in /var/log, with nothing of importance found. Any ideas on what's causing this? Or at least where I can start troubleshooting?

[16:21] <xt3mp0r> Hey guys, you know any good software for dual monitor in ubuntu? (something like ultramon on windows)
[16:21] <bobec> searchfgold: 1000 Mbps is 1 Gbps :)
[16:22] <Roscha> Hello
[16:23] <goltoof> researcher1,    what are you trying to do?  boot two os off a thumb drive?
[16:23] <dajhorn> xt3mp0r: Dual monitor support is built-into Ubuntu.  You don't need extra software.
[16:23] <researcher1> goltoof: yes
[16:23] <Galvatron> jsec: Are you using Compiz? Which video card do you have?
[16:23] <goltoof> researcher1,   if you mean make a bootable usb image and dual boot with that then yes.
[16:23] <Roscha> I have a quick question, i sit possible to move a window to another xserver running on the same System
[16:23] <goltoof> researcher1,    i don't know about booting off usb and then booting another image in the usb though
[16:24] <researcher1> goltoof: I mean yes
[16:24] <maco> dp: no. server has no desktop, so what would you do with such a thing?
[16:24] <dajhorn> xt3mp0r: But you may need to install proprietary drivers to get good dual monitor support on new hardware.   Intel is fully supported.  Nvidia needs the nvidia-current package.  ATI needs the fglrx package.
[16:24] <xt3mp0r> dajhorn, yah. I'm using it already. But you see back when i was on windows, it has a software called "ultramon" it had some great featurs, like it added some buttons upon windows so that we can jsut click them and move it to another screen, etc etc and many more.
[16:24] <researcher1> How to make a bootable usb image and dual boot with that
[16:24] <jsec> Galvatron: yes for Compiz, graphics are integrated Intel (2007 MacBook)
[16:24] <goltoof> maco... you can install desktop on server
[16:25] <xrdodrx> !dualmonitor | xt3mp0r
[16:25] <maco> goltoof: the question was a livecd of ubuntu server
[16:25] <goltoof> maco...  oh, yeah, pointless
[16:25] <maco> goltoof: that'd just be a command line, and you can get to that from any ubuntu install c
[16:26] <maco> *cd
[16:26] <datacrusher> hello mfs

[16:26] <Cas07> hi i have an epically annoying problem just appear on maverick- my mouse cursor keeps jumping to the same spot top left of screen
[16:26] <yggdrasil> anyone else having a hard tiem isntalling the bcm43xx firmware cutter ?
[16:26] <dajhorn> xt3mp0r:  Install the extra compiz settings manager.  You can add fancy keybindings and window decorations through compiz and/or the window manager theme.
[16:27] <xt3mp0r> xrdodrx: sorry, Actually i am looking for some other softwares (if any) which can add extra functionalities.
[16:27] <xrdodrx> Cas07, how long as this been going on?
[16:27] <xrdodrx> xt3mp0r, I don't know if there are any, to be honest :/
[16:27] <Cas07> literally happened out of the blue about 30min ago
[16:27] <xt3mp0r> dajhorn: Will look into it right now, thanks :)
[16:28] <dajhorn> xt3mp0r: Welcome.
[16:28] <xrdodrx> Cas07, are you sure it's not a problem with the mouse?
[16:28] <xrdodrx> Cas07, when this happened to me it was the mouse's fault :/
[16:28] <Cas07> xrdodrx: absolutely, got another mouse
[16:28] <xt3mp0r> xrdodrx: hmm its alright :) I have searched a bit on internet too, but no chance. Maybe someone should develop something.. hmm
[16:29] <Cas07> xrdodrx: its the same point on the screen every time

[16:30] <Isenn> Roscha: yes

[16:31] <agentgasmask> can I set the editor of visudo to emacs in ubuntu 10.04?
[16:31] <Galvatron> jsec: I can't tell if the cause is X, kernel or something else, bu there are several things you might try. One is a newer kernel: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ - here you have the latest stable (2.6.36) as well as its development branch for Intel cards (drm-next-intel). There is also a repository called Xorg-edgers, where you will find the latest, bleeding-edge drivers. Of course those things, aybe except from "pure" 2.6.3
[16:31] <Galvatron> kernel, are highly experimental and potentially unstable First, try the latest stable kernel (2.6.36), then the "DRM next" branch and finally Xorg-edgers.
[16:31] <kxsteve> llutz_: at this point is it aware of root info like /root/.ssh?.
[16:32] <Roscha> maybe a nautilus script or something
[16:32] <llutz_> kxsteve: i don't think so, but i'm not sure
[16:32] <jrib> kxsteve: you should probably just say what you want to accomplish
[16:32] <goltoof> Roscha,    why not just reopen the window in the other xserver?
[16:32] <jrib> agentgasmask: sure, why not
[16:33] <jsec> Galvatron, I'll take a look into those. Thanks for looking those up. So you think it's most likely a graphical issue?
[16:33] <Isenn> Roscha: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482273
[16:33] <bytesaber> I can't find anything wrong with this.      //server/share/ /mnt cifs defaults,username=xxxx,password=xxxx     0 0
[16:33] <Galvatron> I'm really not sure
[16:33] <Galvatron> Might b anything

[16:33] <agentgasmask> jrib: How? The man pages say that it might not read the EDITOR variable if it was not compiled to do so. Possible security hole.
[16:33] <karthick87> How can I see the size of the squid cache?
[16:33] <jrib> agentgasmask: my man page says lots more
[16:34] <Galvatron> So I suggested several ways to try

[16:38] <bytesaber> gnome is not mounting.   i need a "real" mount point such as what i've added to fstab
[16:38] <searchfgold> bytesaber: Thought u were trying to mount something and it gave you an unspecified file system type error. nvm
[16:39] <agentgasmask> jrib: Ok, thanks. With the last part, would that be just a commandline argument? so: visudo --with-env-editor?
[16:39] <bytesaber> searchfgold, it is, apparently years of doing it in non ubunutu systems doesn't work the same
[16:39] <bytesaber> new to ubunut
[16:39] <jrib> agentgasmask: no, sudo was compiled with --with-env-editor which means it should respect your EDITOR environment variable
[16:40] <agentgasmask> jrib: Ah, ok. It was compiled that way in 10.04?
[16:40] <jrib> agentgasmask: yeah, that's actually what I'm checking

Does anybody know any other project that I could search for?
[16:46] <jrib> MikeHoncho: sudo service gdm start
[16:46] <rgouveia> jrib: thanks, but I know that, I'm fully aware of the risks ... but I have this proprietary software targeted to 8.10 and I can't upgrade

[16:50] <MikeHoncho> Crap.  I lost that gdm command.
[16:50] <MikeHoncho> I have a VMWare instance of Ubuntu that loads in to terminal, is there a way to get the gui to start from here?
[16:50] <sjm> rgouveia, I'd seriously look at why proprietary software was targeted at a non-LTS version of anything.  redo it to target an LTS version of Ubuntu or a Debian version, is what I'd look at doing.

[16:52] <MikeHoncho> jrib:  it's a vmware image I downloaded.
[16:52] <gondoi> so not grub2
[16:52] <aetaric> MikeHoncho: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[16:52] <jrib> MikeHoncho: you should install ubuntu yourself into vmware so you know what you have.  Make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed

[16:53] <dli> mr_chris, I think no, but X forwarding
[16:53] <MikeHoncho> I just did apt-get, we'll see if that does it.
[16:54] <jrib> MikeHoncho: install takes about 20 minutes
[16:54] <gondoi> searchfgold:  really? :-( is that because of the transition to grub2?
[16:54] <balzac5000> chiluk: Thanks for the response!
[16:54] <dli> mr_chris, should be possible by vnc, or nx server
[16:54] <MikeHoncho> jrib:  Not of the DM system.
[16:54] <balzac5000> chiluk: It's not my choice though - admin wants VMware
[16:54] <sjm> MikeHoncho, that command (dpkg -l | grep gdm) should return with an "i" in the first column if it's installed.

[16:55] <searchfgold> gondoi: If you do not have grub2 installed then I don't think you need to do an update-grub command...
[16:55] <gondoi> searchfgold: grub-pc provides update-grub also, so i'm not sure i understand why it wont' work

[16:56] <lock> haha, ubottu kicked frenchie out
[16:56] <Cas07> can anyone explain why my mouse stops jumping to the corner when i boot into low graphics mode?
[16:57] <MikeHoncho> sjm:  It's working on install now.  Will use that to make sure it did.  This seems like a very reduced version of ubuntu.
[16:58] <Eryn_1983_FL> hey peeps  has anybody worked with awesome on  ubuntu karmic? iam  trying to get it to read my config file..  and it won't.
[16:58] <jrib> nosklo: I don't know, but the answer likely lies in pam documentation
[16:58] <sjm> MikeHoncho, if it's not using Gnome, it might use xdm or kdm or lxdm rather than gdm
[16:59] <jrib> Eryn_1983_FL: you should probably try the awesome channel
[16:59] <Eryn_1983_FL> i am
[16:59] <Eryn_1983_FL> i  asked there too... they all asleep or ignoring me
[16:59] <goltoof> is there any interface in 10.10  for adding myself to a windows domain?  there used to be in 10.04.... and why is it that this question seems to get absolutley no attention for 2 days now?
[16:59] <rgouveia> jrib, sjm : thanks for the advice and help
[17:00] <housam> hello
[17:00] <sjm> rgouveia, your're welcome (though I didn't do much)
[17:01] <sjm> goltoof, you might ask in a Samba channel if you don't get answers here.
[17:01] <Talinus> hello everybody
[17:01] <goltoof> sjm,  they probably won't know the ubuntu specifics...
[17:02] <housam> my system find my wirless network but i have a problem in connect
[17:02] <lock> 10.10 has a lot of glitches that I wasnt fond of...i wound up switching back to 10.04
[17:02] <housam> ubuntu 8.10
[17:03] <sjm> goltoof, if you can't find the answer, you can always go back to 10.04 LTS if you need it.  (I can't help as I don't use Samba and I'm on 10.04)
[17:03] <younder> Hi. I am having trouble setting up group permissions for a shared project. I know of stickybits etc. but get stuch on changing permissions. Is there a HOWTO somewhere?
[17:03] <goltoof> sjm, it almost looks that way... so far i'm not impressed with 10.10 just from all the useful tools that have disappeared
[17:04] <younder> goltoof, you are supposed to install the extensions that are usefull to you...
[17:04] <ShredMaster> what is modx?
[17:05] <goltoof> younder,   what kind of thing is that to say??  "I'm supposed to.."    ubuntu is "supposed" to install tools for accomplishing basic things
[17:06] <goltoof> younder,   i hardly consider adding myself to active directory as an "extension"
[17:06] <goltoof> younder,   point is, the tool was there, now it's not
[17:06] <FFF1> I've installed wordnet via sinaptic, and now I need to know where the "dict" folder is
[17:06] <subone> How would I run a script every time a usb storage device is plugged into my computer?
[17:06] <Cas07> is there a known problem with nvidia driver and mouse randomly moving?
[17:06] <younder> goltoof, I does, but if you want the whole encilada you get a head start with the debian distribution.
[17:07] <goltoof> younder,   i've been using ubuntu for a year now... i'm good
[17:08] <p3N74> m
[17:08] <p3N74> ,.m.
[17:08] <sresu_> Which command gives short brief description of the system?
[17:09] <simosx> Hi all. I want to create a local 'planet', similar to planet.ubuntu.com, http://planet.ubuntu-it.org/. Are the stylesheets available somewhere so I can reuse?
[17:09] <goltoof> sresu_,    uname -a
[17:09] <FFF1> I've installed wordnet via sinaptic, and now I need to know where the "dict" folder is
[17:10] <sresu_> goltoof: No, 2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP  and date becomes extra here
[17:10] <sresu_> goltoof: Something more short
[17:10] <juk_> FFF1: dpkg -L package will show list of installed files
[17:10] <sresu_> shorter I mean*
[17:11] <OY1R> this is suppose to speed up the boot time by using all cpu cores while booting > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8KfQNreaeA anyone know if it is safe or it might brake something ?
[17:11] <Pici> sresu_: what sort of information are you looking for?

[17:18] <dwarder> sunk8: thanks
[17:19] <ikonia> camara_lamu: start by not USING CAPS
[17:19] <dwarder> sunk8: what about watching?

[17:19] <ikonia> mrcreativity: don't do it with the ISO - make a USB from it
[17:19] <juk_> FFF1: you have to mount windows partition if it isn't yet
[17:19] <mrcreativity> using the usb creator tool?
[17:19] <ikonia> mrcreativity: put the USB in, it will mount it, point the software sources at it
[17:19] <ikonia> mrcreativity: usb creator tool should work, yes
[17:20] <FFF1> juk_: nono, you don't undestand

[17:20] <peter5432> iDope: I'm not sure, but perhaps check whether the machine  you are accessing only allows viewing?
[17:20] <sunk8> dwarder: you can install vlc, its preety good. And take a look at http://www.medibuntu.org you can install mplayer after enabling its repositories...
[17:20] <sresu_> goltoof:  Which commands gives system status? And replies with OK or something?
[17:21] <mrcreativity> im browsing it right now
[17:21] <peter5432> goltoof: top ?

[17:21] <camara_lamu> guys i need your help
[17:21] <sisf> Hello good ppl. It there any way to have the BT powered on at boot time? I know it was working on 10.04 ..
[17:21] <camara_lamu> i need someone to help me
[17:21] <ikonia> camara_lamu: ask a question rather than keep saying you need help
[17:21] <younder> FFF1, isn't that under /usr/share/ ?
[17:21] <adil> hello guys
[17:22] <mrcreativity> yes
[17:22] <ikonia> mrcreativity: there shoul be a checkbox for cdrom
[17:22] <adil> i need helo but my english is so poor :'(
[17:22] <adil> help*
[17:22] <FFF1> juk_: no
[17:22] <mrcreativity> yes
[17:22] <juk_> FFF1: so, you sure it exist in windows
[17:22] <FFF1> juk_: yes
[17:22] <sresu_> goltoof: Would you mind a moment in private?
[17:22] <sunk8> adil, what's the issue?
[17:22] <FFF1> juk_: I'm using wordnet in a java aplication
[17:22] <goltoof> sresu_,    what exactly are you trying to do?
[17:22] <mrcreativity> do i check the cd rom box?
[17:23] <iDope> peter5432: I have all the settings properly done and I was all working perfectly before a reboot. I think I know what the cause of the problem is, vino isnt started (by default) until a user logs in. And since I havent logged in (and cant because of now keyboard/mouse), the service wont start. I am looking at http://jakeyoon.com/2008/11/19/enable-vino-vnc-server-for-login-manager-gdm-in-ubuntu/ to maybe have vino working at the GDM login screen
[17:23] <iDope>  which would solve all my problems
[17:23] <ikonia> mrcreativity: yes,
[17:23] <younder> FFF1, not which dict gives /usr/bin/dict..
[17:23] <mrcreativity> installable from cd/dvd rom checked
[17:23] <ikonia> mrcreativity: you will probably need to mount the usb stick on /dev/cdrom though (dirty hack)
[17:23] <adil> i am trying to record some screencast, i use recorditnow but i have some issue with voice, it contains noise, how can i avoid this problem
[17:24] <popey> adil: tried gtk-recordmydesktop?
[17:24] <mrcreativity> ikonia, can u help me do that please? ive been trying for hours...
[17:24] <juk_> FFF1: so, problem is to find "dict" folder in windows filesystem?
[17:24] <mrcreativity> ive even posted it on the forums
[17:24] <popey> oh, sorry, you're on kde, whoops
[17:24] <peter5432> iDope: Sounds like the right solution.
[17:24] <sktx> so.. for some reason half the videos i try to watch only show up as a black screen, both in vlc and totem... any idea why?
[17:24] <banker247> how do you launch grub at startup?
[17:24] <rob_p> d1g1ta1: Wifidog looks promising.  Have you been to their site yet?
[17:24] <younder> FFF1, whereis dict
[17:24] <younder> dict: /usr/bin/dict /usr/share/dict /usr/share/man/man1/dict.1.gZ
[17:24] <FFF1> juk_: no, the problem is that the dict folder doesn't exist in ubuntu
[17:24] <adil> popey, yeah no result
[17:25] <ffl> why doesn't kernel ending in 34 boot?
[17:26] <ffl> just goes to busybox ash
[17:26] <ikonia> mrcreativity: if you mount the USB on /dev/cdrom, it should fool ubuntu and allow you to use it (there should be a better way, but I've not got anything to test on here)
[17:26] <adil> any idea please ?
[17:26] <duffydack> anyone else tried latest clonezilla (maverick based) ? Im getting an error after its gathered checksum from my root partition.  Goes fine with my home partition however.
[17:26] <pmitros> Is it possible to do an upgrade of Ubuntu in steps? I'd like to download the relevant files from one location (where I have fast internet), but actually install them from a second location (where I expect to have time).
[17:27] <mrcreativity> i understand, but i have no idea how i should do it
[17:27] <mrcreativity> googleing now
[17:27] <ikonia> mrcreativity: it should work
[17:27] <ffl> pmitros: cd?
[17:27] <mrcreativity> ikonia, as i said, i have no idea how to do it.
[17:27] <longcat> http://forums.devshed.com/linux-help-33/active-directory-winbind-etc-in-ubuntu-works-except-users-can-t-449662.html
[17:28] <pmitros> ffl: Not a bad idea. I'd need to get an external CD drive, or actually, maybe I can just mount the .iso.
[17:28] <pmitros> ffl: I'll poke at that.
[17:28] <juk_> FFF1:  you can try alternatives like goldendict
[17:28] <ikonia> mrcreativity: ok, you're going to have to help me as I'm working from memory here
[17:28] <ffl> or bootusb?
[17:28] <ikonia> mrcreativity: can you open a terminal and type "mount" see if the usb device is mounted anywhere
[17:29] <younder> pmitros, Just plugging it into the USb port should automount it. othewise .. man modprobe
[17:29] <zealiod> I wanted this rule to log all traffic, it doesnt do anything - what am i missing?

[17:44] <ikonia> younder: so you need to manually change the permissions
[17:44] <momelod> i have an issue after upgrading to maverick.  In karmic I had gnome-power-management running beautifully, ie i could suspend, hibernate, auto dim screen when on battery.  Now after the upgrade I don't see a battery or ac indicator in the gnome panel, also i don't have the option to suspend or hibernate from the System menu and my screen is always fully lit.  If I let the laptop run on battery, eventually the system powers off with out warning.
[17:44] <nosklo> jrib: thanks. I found it
[17:44] <nosklo> jrib: uou have to set stuff in /etc/pam.d/common-password
[17:45] <momelod> oddly tho, i can force the laptop to suspend when i issue `/etc/acpi/sleep.sh`
[17:45] <mrcreativity> ikonia, im sorry, i got dc'ed again
[17:45] <mrcreativity> ikonia, i told u my connection sucks
[17:45] <momelod> anyone have any ideas?
[17:45] <concor> anyone control opencv
[17:45] <younder> ikonia, did that.. I thought. Until config need to change config.status then it fails again.. They all belog to group programmer all have a g+rw all directories a g+s. still I get this error
[17:45] <sresu> I want to make a script which would trigger konsole a command like mozilla. How can I do this?
[17:45] <acidubthird> hello everybody, is ubuntu slower than windows browsing internet?
[17:45] <goltoof> acidubthird,   no
[17:47] <rooks> acidubthird, i did BSC thesis recently where i compared existing windows desktops at my uni to ones that i developed, even when my netbooted ubuntu desktops were booted over net they were twice as fast to the browser than existing windows ones :)
[17:47] <goltoof> acidubthird,   no to xp, vista or 7
[17:47] <aeon-ltd> acidubthird: no it should be the same across all oses as long as the network card is the same
[17:48] <rooks> acidubthird, get opera browser, its the most comfortable one and also the fastest
[17:48] <goltoof> aeon-ltd,    i think he's concerned about system performance while browsing.. in wich case it depends on the specs.  ubuntu will be slower on a machine with less ram, etc
[17:49] <acidubthird> rooks : opera on ubuntu? i will try that
[17:49] <rooks> acidubthird, i run opera on linux, its quite snappy these days
[17:50] <goltoof> wow, no love for chrome..
[17:50] <acidubthird> right know i ll change to ubuntu to compare ustream live tv
[17:50] <d1g1ta1> rob_p: not yet, I will check it out
[17:50] <rooks> acidubthird, http://ubuntuone.com/p/MXB/
[17:50] <acidubthird> i ll be back
[17:50] <Cobalt> Hi, I added a third-party repo, installed like a 100 packages from there (updated versions, all), I've now removed the repository, and would like to revert to the previous version of those packages. How do I go about this?
[17:51] <cyberbob> hi all
[17:52] <cyberbob> I am install ubuntu amd 64bit on my machine.  .but whenever i boot from desk after loading bar running for 3-4 times display disappears and don't proceed futher with installation
[17:52] <cyberbob> when i pressed escape i got following error /dev/sr0 not found
[17:52] <cyberbob> my harddrive/superdrive both are sata devices
[17:52] <john38> I cant enable personal File Sharing ?????
[17:53] <agentgasmask> Hi, to remove someones sudo access, do you have to remove them from both groups adm and admin? If so, what is the difference between these groups? Also, can I just edit the /etc/groups file or is there a cleaner way to do this?
[17:53] <jrib> agentgasmask: sudo deluser USERNAME admin
[17:53] <john38> Can someone help me
[17:53] <cyberbob> I have used usb memstick for installatin but same issue persists i was installing 10.04 lts ubuntu amd64
[17:53] <bindi_> !ask
[17:53] <agentgasmask> jrib: Hi again :)
[17:53] <jrib> agentgasmask: hi :)
[17:53] <john38> I cant enable personal File Sharing ?????
[17:53] <agentgasmask> jrib: so you don't need to remove them from adm?
[17:53] <sisf> Is there any way to turn on bluetooth by command line? My bluetooth switch is broken and I can`t use it. And I know in 10.04 it was turned on at boot time.
[17:54] <jrib> agentgasmask: nope
[17:54] <agentgasmask> jrib: do you know what that group is responsable for?
[17:54] <jrib> agentgasmask: adm: Group adm is used for system monitoring tasks. Members of this group can read many log files in /var/log, and can use xconsole. Historically, /var/log was /usr/adm (and later /var/adm), thus the name of the group.
[17:55] <goltoof> 31 (0x1F) ERROR_GEN_FAILURE - Unknown error   .... so what they saw likewise was buggy so they took out the gui tool to config active directory?
[17:55] <agentgasmask> jrib: ok, great! Does the bit about the "xconsole" mean that the user must be in that group to use xterm or gnome-terminal?
[17:55] <goltoof> odd.
[17:56] <cyberbob> any idea how to overcome that
[17:56] <jrib> agentgasmask: don't know.  Don't think so
[17:56] <agentgasmask> jrib: Alright. Thanks again. :) Take luck
[17:57] <niranjan> hi

[17:57] <jrib> agentgasmask: I just copied from http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch12.en.html
[17:57] <madian_> is anyone here using ubuntu in the work place?
[17:57] <ikonia> madian_: yes why ?
[17:58] <cyberbob> any idea howto overcome that issue
[17:58] <goltoof> !repeat  |cyberbob
[17:58] <madian_> my company want to start testing linux as a default OS
[17:58] <mrcreativity> ikonia,
[17:58] <ikonia> mrcreativity: yes ?
[17:58] <goltoof> madian_,    i
[17:58] <mrcreativity> ikonia, i still need help sir
[17:58] <tortoise> I'm trying to burn a cd in rhythmbox but I keep getting an error saying the file is not suitable for audio or video media, the file is an mp3, what does this mean/
[17:58] <ikonia> mrcreativity: I know, and I don't think my first suggestion will work
[17:59] <ikonia> !aptoncd | mrcreativity
[17:59] <mrcreativity> oh... :(
[17:59] <goltoof> tortoise,    brasero, much better
[17:59] <oxicarus> aptoncd is a brilliant utility :) cheers @developers! oO
[17:59] <mrcreativity> ubottu, i know about aptoncd. the problem is i dont have a cd drive
[17:59] <mrcreativity> oh...
[17:59] <mrcreativity> silly me
[17:59] <tortoise> goltoof: alright, I'll try that
[17:59] <acidubthird> hello again windows won the internet speed battle
[17:59] <madian_> what are the problem facing you company when using linux
[17:59] <niranjan> the format that burn by rhythombyx player is only few
[18:00] <ikonia> mrcreativity: you don't have to use a cdrom for aptoncd
[18:00] <niranjan> so it is better to go for normal burning in ubauntu
[18:00] <tortoise> goltoof: brasero is giving me the same error
[18:00] <DasEi> madian: be more specific, ubuntu became very userfriendly..
[18:00] <Cobalt> Hi, I added a third-party repo, installed like a 100 packages from there (updated versions, all), I've now removed the repository, and would like to revert to the previous version of those packages. How do I go about this? -----------> Thank, found the answer.
[18:00] <hagenZ> hi. how can i set other resolution of the screen? xrandr command doesnt help
[18:00] <mrcreativity> trying it right now
[18:00] <ikonia> madian_: that's individual to the company, only the company can answer that really
[18:00] <DasEi> madian: may I suggest to take that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[18:01] <ikonia> DasEi: better idea
[18:01] <madian_> I mean using for email or for citrix clinet
[18:01] <DasEi> madian : enter in your irc -client : /join  #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:01] <mrcreativity> ikonia, i think apton cd burns a cd
[18:02] <ikonia> mrcreativity: yes, but you can burn it to a file system as I recall
[18:02] <mrcreativity> yeah...iso
[18:02] <tortoise> How can I install the greyed out plugins in brasero?
[18:02] <MikeHoncho> so, I'm in this gdm and there's no option for terminal.  how do I get to it?
[18:02] <mrcreativity> but then...
[18:02] <tortoise> I found a plugin that would help but I don't see anywhere that I can actually install it
[18:02] <mrcreativity> i need to load the iso and use that as ssource
[18:02] <madian_> DasEi: OK
[18:02] <mrcreativity> and i already have the iso with the source files,
[18:03] <niranjan> anybody help to how to get source code off linux

[18:04] <younder> goltoof, chmod +x file .. ./file

[18:05] <sresu> younder: What should be the content of the script to run suppose <mozilla> ?
[18:05] <mgaas> Can someone tell me how to install https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kicad/0.0.20100314-1build0.1/+build/2011249 and all of its dependencies?

[18:06] <sresu> younder: That's it?
[18:06] <goltoof> sresu,   firefox &
[18:06] <coz_> mgaas,  did you download the deb package listed there?
[18:07] <aeon-ltd> !tab | younder
[18:07] <younder> rsesu: yep, a command is run as on the command line
[18:07] <mgaas> coz_: yes, but that contains a possibly large tree of dependencies.
[18:07] <sresu> younder: firefox & or just firefox?
[18:07] <john38> Can somebody help me with a network problem
[18:07] <younder> aeon-ltd, nop, not in this case. Though it worked for yours
[18:07] <john38> in ubuntu
[18:07] <mgaas> coz_: (the difference between apt-get and dpkg)
[18:08] <goltoof> sresu,    just firefox.... firefox &   if you want terminal to launch a separate window
[18:08] <coz_> mgaas,   did you open a terminal...cd to it's locations  and   sudp dpkg -i kicad_0.0.20100314-1build0.1_amd64.deb
[18:08] <younder> john38, what is the problem?
[18:08] <mgaas> coz_: I already did that.
[18:08] <aeon-ltd> younder: no i didn't mean that context, i was refering to your mispelling of sresu's nick
[18:08] <sympt0m> good mid-morning
[18:08] <coz_> mgaas,  ok and was was the read out ?  pasbing.com the readout
[18:08] <mgaas> coz_: it then says some dependencies are missing.
[18:08] <coz_> mgaas,  ok  now try   sudo apt-get install -f
[18:09] <john38> younder, i just shared a file over a network on my computer but i cant access it i also enable Personal File Sharing but it takes forever to access public files on Ubuntu
[18:09] <mgaas> coz_: that of course doesn't work, because the package didn't get installed.
[18:09] <john38> younder, whats the process
[18:09] <Promille>  /wc
[18:09] <coz_> mgaas,  well if you did the sudo dpkg -i   and it complained of dependencies...what was the depency read out?
[18:10] <sresu> Thanks, let me try
[18:10] <mgaas> coz_: all kinds of packages that are available, but I don't want to install those manually.
[18:10] <younder> John38, try to msg ikonia
[18:10] <coz_> mgaas,   I need to see the read out
[18:11] <john38> ikonia, you there
[18:11] <mgaas> kicad depends on kicad-common (>= 0.0.20100314-1build0.1); however:   Version of kicad-common on system is 0.0.20100314-1.
[18:11] <mgaas> coz_: that's the relevant bit.
[18:11] <Cubmike> greetings I am new to ubuntu and am trying to figure out what version is best for me
[18:11] <snipe> is there a way to change the text box portion of the log in screen?
[18:11] <mgaas> coz_: I am asking for a way to say
[18:11] <ikonia> john38: yes ?
[18:11] <john38> ikonia,  just shared a folder over a network on my computer but i cant access it i also enable Personal File Sharing but it takes forever to access public files on Ubuntu
[18:11] <mgaas> coz_: install package foo and all its dependencies.
[18:12] <john38> ikonia, what is the process
[18:12] <mgaas> coz_: just from a different place. Is there no way to do that?
[18:12] <coz_> mgaas,  ah ok   mm   well unless you get a different build of kicad  you will have to manually install the proper version of dependecies
[18:12] <sresu> What is symlink?
[18:12] <mgaas> coz_: I tried building it manually, but their C++ is not C++.
[18:12] <hagenZ> hi. there is no resolution of the screen in the settings. wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution didnt help
[18:12] <dp> does the ubuntu livecd create a kernel config in /proc ?
[18:12] <goltoof> man symlink
[18:13] <coz_> mgaas,    is this particular cad application necessary for your work?
[18:13] <mgaas> coz_: of course it is.
[18:14] <goltoof> is somebody here using 10.10 connected to an active directory domain
[18:14] <mgaas> goltoof: I hope not.
[18:15] <moepman> hi folks
[18:15] <agentgasmask> moepman: Hi
[18:15] <dawning> Howdy
[18:15] <pcsrao> hey folks.
[18:15] <coz_> mgaas,    http://kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Download
[18:15] <pcsrao> like i am totally new here
[18:15] <john38> ikonia, ?
[18:15] <goltoof> mgaas,   so it's just completely busted?  that's why they removed it?  shouldn't they have announced that if you're using 10.10 the feature is just not there?
[18:15] <pcsrao> to all this irc stuff
[18:15] <pcsrao> !!
[18:15] <goltoof> gotta be a work around
[18:15] <coz_> mgaas,  scroll to bottom of that link
[18:16] <aeon-ltd> !hi | pcsrao
[18:16] <mgaas> goltoof: I was making a meta-comment. That everything related to Microsoft and connecting to OSS is designed to be a hell.
[18:16] <pcsrao> hey aeon-ltd
[18:16] <aeon-ltd> seriously who messed with ubottu's factoids?
[18:16] <younder> mgaas, ?? :)
[18:16] <mgaas> goltoof: Microsoft doesn't want inter-operability.
[18:17] <younder> mgaas, samba
[18:17] <mgaas> The Samba project has been relatively successful, yes.
[18:17] <ZykoticK9> aeon-ltd, !hi was removed a little while ago - it caught me off guard as well ;)
[18:17] <mgaas> That doesn't mean that they are always up to date, nor that it always works.
[18:17] <mgaas> younder: I have relatively large respect for Samba.
[18:17] <pcsrao> haha
[18:17] <goltoof> how do i show my system uptime without all the extra data?  just time and date, no users or load average
[18:17] <pcsrao> so !hi does something eh?
[18:17] <younder> wins and rfc works pretty well so does SOAP
[18:17] <younder> rpc
[18:17] <rypervenche> I want to use wget to download a series of pdfs. They are all the same except for 1 number. I was able to use {1,2,3,4,etc} to get them, but how can I set a range?
[18:17] <mgaas> younder: I just think that people should not _want_ to connect to MS systems.
[18:17] <pcsrao> zykotick9??
[18:18] <aeon-ltd> !welcome
[18:18] <moepman> since yesterday my apt-get doesnt work anymore... all i get is 404 errors when trying to get the files. (ubuntu maverick server 64bit) when i insert the url in the error messages in my browser i get the files normally
[18:18] <mgaas> Simply because MS doesn't want to play with others.
[18:18] <pcsrao> apparently, aeon-ltd .. you are trying something arent you?
[18:18] <aeon-ltd> mgaas: their support for old versions of windows isn't great either
[18:18] <goltoof> mgaas,   agreed... but WOW   that pretty much makes my new install unusable
[18:18] <goltoof> gotta be some work around
[18:18] <younder> mgaas, as long as they have 90 % of the computers out there that is not realistic.
[18:18] <Pici> aeon-ltd: !hi and !welcome don't exist anymore, because people were abusing them
[18:19] <john38> ikonia,  you there???
[18:19] <ZykoticK9> pcsrao, there used to be a !hi factoid that aeon-ltd tried to send you
[18:19] <mgaas> goltoof: do not think for a second that I am an expert on what is possible.
[18:19] <mgaas> goltoof: send an email to the mailing list and you probably get an answer.
[18:19] <aeon-ltd> pcsrao: yeah, the factoids aren't working but it used to say something like "hi welcome to #ubuntu, please read the !rules and guidelines of this channel"
[18:19] <dotblank> is there a way to resize windows from the cmdline?
[18:19] <mgaas> goltoof: but if you have any power at all, just try to get away from MS nightmare systems.
[18:19] <moepman> since yesterday my apt-get doesnt work anymore... all i get is 404 errors when trying to get the files. (ubuntu maverick server 64bit) when i insert the url in the error messages in my browser i get the files normally, wget of the files from my server doesnt work either
[18:19] <pcsrao> haha. well anyway, i got that message right when i joined here
[18:19] <pcsrao> :)
[18:20] <aeon-ltd> Pici: yeah i suppose it saves channel space when people enter and say 'hi'
[18:20] <younder> dotblank, yes
[18:20] <pcsrao> haha
[18:20] <dotblank> younder, i've been googleing and can't find any
[18:20] <dotblank> way
[18:20] <goltoof> mgaas,  i'm the only one in the company using ubuntu  :(  our file servers are MS based.. if it were up to me i'd drop em like a bad habit
[18:20] <mgaas> younder: I can live perfectly fine without MS. It's that other people impose Windows on me that's causing the problems.
[18:20] <younder> dotblank, well I am looking at the X windows users guide
[18:21] <Pici> mgaas: Can we try to stay focused on support here?
[18:21] <Genevieve> I have an issue. I'm running ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition on an HP mini. I don't have access to a wired internet connection and I can't activate the broadcom STA driver needed to run my wireless connection in the liveUSB boot and cannot get the driver to install in the installed boot. Any ideas?
[18:21] <DiogenesW> servus
[18:21] <mgaas> Pici: this was an attempt at long term support.
[18:21] <mgaas> Pici: but point taken.
[18:22] <john38> Can somebody help me with a network problrm
[18:22] <dotblank> younder, I see I can set it with -geometry but can I pass it to a java program?
[18:22] <younder> dotblank, ok It should accept accept options -geometry 125x125-10+10
[18:22] <younder> dotblank, no
[18:23] <moepman> since yesterday my apt-get doesnt work anymore... all i get is 404 errors when trying to get the files. (ubuntu maverick server 64bit) when i insert the url in the error messages in my browser i get the files normally, wget of the files from my server doesnt work either
[18:23] <john38> Can somebody help me with a network problrm
[18:23] <Pici> moepman: What URL is failing?
[18:23] <moepman> but i can ping the server from my server
[18:24] <moepman>  http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz

[18:24] <zachk> if its too large to paste to the channel use a pastebin :)
[18:24] <younder> moepman, which apt-get; cd ..; ls -l apt-get; chmod +x apt-get
[18:24] <Pici> moepman: Is it actually 404'ing or does it say [IGN] or similar?
[18:24] <john38> X-Sleepy-X, i just shared folder over network but i cant see it on other computer
[18:24] <Genevieve> does anyone have any ideas to the problem i posted?
[18:24] <younder> moepman, ?
[18:25] <moepman> younder: no such file or directory
[18:25] <younder> cd .. means change to whatever direcory which shows you

[18:25] <goltoof> how do i show my system uptime without all the extra data?  just time and date, no users or load average
[18:26] <X-Sleepy-X> john38: What OS is the other computer running?
[18:26] <moepman> Pici: yes, there are tons of 404s and i cannot install anything
[18:26] <Pici> younder: That isn't a solution.
[18:26] <younder> Pici, ?
[18:26] <john38> X-Sleepy-X, this is 10.04 other is 10.10
[18:26] <Pici> younder: I don't know why you're telling moepman to set the executable bit on apt-get, that doesn't have anything to do with what he is asking,.
[18:26] <Genevieve> what is the difference between 10.10 and 10.10 netbook? can i run 10.10 desktop on a netbook?
[18:26] <rypervenche> I want to use wget to download a series of pdfs. They are all the same except for 1 number. I was able to use {1,2,3,4,etc} to get them, but how can I set a range?

[18:27] <X-Sleepy-X> john38: Are you trying to share with samba or nfs or samba?
[18:27] <Pici> moepman: Do you use a proxy to connect to the internet on that computer?
[18:27] <john38> X-Sleepy-X, i dont know i just clicked sharing options then share this folder
[18:28] <moepman> Pici: no
[18:28] <Pici> moepman: Can you pastebin the entire output from apt-get update ?
[18:28] <moepman> Pici: yesterday i installed the system, installed some software and now i cannot install anything
[18:29] <jamil_1> Hello, I have a weird situation here. I am running Kubuntu 10.10, I have few gadgets running but none show on the desktop. I don't know what happened but they were working fine few day back. Any help will be really appreciated
[18:29] <john38> X-Sleepy-X, do i have to enable something on other computer
[18:29] <X-Sleepy-X> john38: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo might provide you with some useful information. Have a look at it and if you still can't get it to work check back here.
[18:30] <frxstrem> how do I know if I am running 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu?
[18:30] <jrib> frxstrem: uname -m
[18:30] <frxstrem> jrib: ok, thanks :D
[18:30] <frxstrem> and what result should I expect for 64-bit?
[18:31] <john38> X-Sleepy-X, all i want to do is share folder over network i never got any options for Samba or NFS etc....
[18:31] <consolers> btw ftr the xconsole thing had nothing to do with Xserver. /dev/xconsole was a flatfile not a pipe
[18:32] <X-Sleepy-X> john38: Then you should use either samba or nfs, samba for linux to windows shares and nfs for linux to linux shares, it works with samba for linux to linux as well i believe...
[18:32] <goltoof> how do i show my system uptime without all the extra data?  just time and date, no users or load average

[18:34] <consolers> uptime|cut -c 10-25
[18:34] <john38> X-Sleepy-X, or NFS
[18:34] <ditatompel> hex0: recordmydesktop
[18:34] <X-Sleepy-X> john38: personally i use a sftp share since i want to access it when i'm not at home...
[18:34] <sresu> How to modify  /etc/weatherrc so as to add city if it's not listed
[18:34] <sresu> ?
[18:34] <jr> any of u play combat arms?
[18:34] <frxstrem> !screencast | hex0
[18:35] <john38> X-Sleepy-X, yeah i tried File Sharing
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> !find  /etc/weatherrc
[18:35] <john38> X-Sleepy-X, i saw computer on network but i didnt see folder i enabled as share
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  its proberly a text file. Ive never seen or used it.
[18:35] <jrib> sresu: man 5 weatherrc
[18:35] <moepman> Pici: http://macbooksrule.pastebin.com/pjyStMhQ
[18:36] <john38> X-Sleepy-X, problem i got is i can see "Ubuntu" server icon here but i cant see it other computer when i go to Network
[18:36] <john38> X-Sleepy-X, strange?
[18:36] <rypervenche> I want to use wget to download a series of pdfs. They are all the same except for 1 number. I was able to use {1,2,3,4,etc} to get them, but how can I set a range?
[18:37] <X-Sleepy-X> john38: i have the same problem, except that i have one pc that shows all its shared folders and that pc has one difference to the others and that is that apache is installed on it, perhaps i has something to do with that or perhaps it doesn't :)
[18:37] <sresu> jrib: Dr_Willis: That's fine.. in order to use weather command I should have my city listed, it doesn't work for every city (if you check  /etc/weatherrc)
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> rypervenche:  {1-5} or some syntax like that..
[18:37] <jrib> rypervenche: {1..5}  for example
[18:37] <Genevieve> I'm trying to add the repositories to a box without internet access. when I click on the "release" link to download, it just pops up with a bunch of text. it sounds like its needed to use the offline repository, but I'm new to this and really have no idea
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> there we go  .. :) i rarely use that..
[18:37] <jrib> sresu: the man page details the syntax of the file, doesn't it?
[18:37] <katerina> huh
[18:38] <rypervenche> Dr_Willis: jrib: Thank you :)
[18:38] <sresu> jrib: And do you see the eamples :)
[18:38] <katerina> who is this
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> rypervenche:  i saw an artical on that just the other day. :) bash ranges, and arrays.
[18:38] <jrib> sresu: what about them?
[18:38] <katerina> who is this
[18:38] <sresu> jrib: Ir requires ID St etc
[18:38] <sresu> It*
[18:38] <jrib> sresu: yes, but these are explained earlrier
[18:39] <rypervenche> Dr_Willis: {1..12} did the trick. {1-12} wasn't working.
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> rypervenche:  i get bash, and regrexps and other stuff mixxed up. :) Plus its my bedtime.
[18:39] <goltoof> jrib:  ie, need to get the weather id for Phoenix, AZ ... where do i find this
[18:40] <jrib> goltoof: well what does the man page say about IDs?
[18:40] <rypervenche> Dr_Willis: Yeah they confuse me too. Thanks though.
[18:40] <sresu> jrib: No, it works perfect for what listed in /etc/weatherrc. For example - City = Asheville, ID = KAVL, St = NC. Hence my question to add mine
[18:40] <goltoof> jrib,   nope
[18:40] <moepman> Pici: i think ill do the installation again...
[18:40] <Pici> moepman: Hmm.. strange.  Can you browse to any of those sites (like http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ ) from the terminal? using w3m?
[18:40] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:41] <jrib> goltoof: you are the same person as sresu or ...?
[18:41] <moepman> Pici: strange all requests are answered by my local tomcat server...
[18:41] <jrib> sresu: the man page details the syntax, read it.
[18:41] <sresu> jrib: goltoof and sresu have same query and both are diffrent user
[18:41] <jrib> goltoof: phoenix is in the default /etc/weatherrc
[18:42] <sresu> jrib: No, you are not getting my query I suppose :)
[18:42] <jrib> sresu: you want to add a city to weatherrc, right?
[18:43] <goltoof> jrib,   swore it wasn't there before :)
[18:43] <guo> hi
[18:43] <guo> allo
[18:43] <goltoof> jrib,  but adding a city, if i had to, would involve finding the ID of the city, which I imagine there would be a list somewhere of city id's
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  most airports or citys have a weather station or 2 i recall - i looked up the codes once for the,  http://www.weathergraphics.com/identifiers/   seems to have some info
[18:44] <sresu> jrib: But it gives only US states, what bout other countries, cities? Yes I want to add mine and I'm not sure
[18:44] <jrib> goltoof: yeah, the man page tells you it's the METAR station ID
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> METAR. :) thats what i was trying to rember.
[18:44] <sresu> jrib:  Huh? Are the man pages different for users?
[18:44] <goltoof> jrib,  gotcha.. thx
[18:45] <sresu> I don't see METAR
[18:45] <jrib> sresu: the man page suggests the URLs can either be from metar.org or forecast.org. See if the forecast for your city is there.  The man page I am reading is « man 5 weatherrc »
[18:45] <goltoof> sresu... are you looking at man?
[18:45] <sresu> Yes
[18:45] <dan2> does the ubuntu netbook edition come in a 64bit version?
[18:45] <moepman> Pici: i found it, seems that my iptables entry that i enabled to reroute traffic to port 8080 to port 80 on that server blocked ALL outgoing traffic...
[18:45] <bollullera> hola
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/nsd_state_lookup.pl    It hink shows the METAR id's for each state
[18:46] <goltoof> sresu,   you see in parameters " id   the METAR station ID "
[18:46] <sresu> Woops man weather and weatherrc are different
[18:46] <sresu> goltoof: Got it now :)
[18:46] <Pici> moepman: 'oops'.  Glad you found out the issue though.
[18:46] <aeon-ltd> dan2: most netbooks are intel atom or lower and its targeted at ease of use so unlikely
[18:46] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Yes, thanks... searching mine :)
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> dan2:  ive not seen any 64bit netbooks. but not sure about those new ION based ones.
[18:47] <fumanchu182> I am using xubuntu (just to give it a whirl and a change from gnome).  it is indeed quite polished and minimal, just what i need for a workstation at work, however how do I disable the desktop switcher?
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> fumanchu182:  you could ask in #xubuntu if no one in here knows. (I sure dont know)
[18:47] <dan2> Dr_Willis, more than half the atoms are 64bits
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> dan2:  ive not seen any. Not really paied muich attention to them lately however.
[18:48] <kxsteve> i'm trying to run `cap deploy` in a script that's called from /etc/rc.local; the script runs fine from the shell and from the cron; when i place it in rc.local it errors out with a password request
[18:48] <kxsteve> how to resolve this?
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> kxsteve:  is it ran by root? or by a user? or by whom?
[18:48] <kxsteve> Dr_Willis: root
[18:49] <kxsteve> whoami shows root; echo $USER returns blank
[18:49] <goltoof> i still haven't received an official answer... is there any way to add 10.10 to active directory domain?    it's been 2 days now
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> kxsteve:   sounds like some different enviroment variables going on. rc.local may be using 'sh' also and not bash.
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> !ad
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> niight all.
[18:49] <kxsteve> Dr_Willis: it's using sh but so is crontab
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> kxsteve:  well its my bed time. :() You may want to pastebin the script for others to check out.
[18:50] <kxsteve> i would if the script did something special; simply a `cap deploy`
[18:50] <sresu> jrib: Dr_Willis: No not the way weatherrc needs,... ID St etc..
[18:50] <sresu> jrib: Dr_Willis: Those links doen't give ID
[18:51] <jrib> sresu: what city are you looking for?
[18:51] <sresu> jrib: Mumbai
[18:52] <Nutub> hello, i need help... how can i charge subtitles automatically?
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  Hmm    Ajo Municipal (-----, KP01)    - KP01 is the id i thought...
[18:52] <sresu> Dr_Willis: How do you get that?
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> if the city is not on the list. You will have to use a city thats close i imagine
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  err.. its listed right there on that url i gave..
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/nsd_state_lookup.pl  , looked up AZ. it shoes about 40 stations
[18:53] <jrib> Dr_Willis: goltoof wanted AZ, sresu wants mumbai I guess
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> http://www.nws.noaa.gov/tg/siteloc.shtml   --> 'Display all stations in' (AZ)
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> No idwea where mumbai even is.. :)
[18:53] <jrib> Dr_Willis: india
[18:54] <Nutub> my movie player don't load subtitles automatically, how can i fix it?
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> perhaps start at --> http://www.weathergraphics.com/identifiers/
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> Night all.
[18:54] <jrib> sresu: http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/VABB.html work for you?
[18:54] <dude1> when i boot up, my monitor settings are messed. then i go into settings, change something, see the preview, click on "restore previous settings" and everything is just great like it should be. wtf?
[18:55] <dude1> wat do
[18:55] <wolfrage> Nutub: view->select sub-titles->select text      or something like that
[18:55] <goltoof> sresu:   might be under Bomba
[18:55] <goltoof> *Bombay
[18:55] <sresu> goltoof: yes, the link that you gave works
[18:56] <goltoof> sresu,    Bombay / Santacruz (43003, VABB)
[18:56] <sresu> goltoof: Yes
[18:56] <goltoof> sresu,    not my link :)
[18:56] <Nutub> wolfrage: i know... but it can do it automatically?
[18:56] <wolfrage> dude1: are you using any drivers?  What kind of graphics card
[18:56] <gogeta> do what
[18:56] <sresu> goltoof: But, Will weatherrc recognise it?
[18:56] <wolfrage> nutub: you mean like always have it set?
[18:57] <dude1> onboard gfx card, nvidia 7050 i think. didnt install drivers, because that always fucks up my entire system
[18:57] <gogeta> dude1: 7050 i think you need to use legicy drivers
[18:57] <IdleOne> !language | dude1
[18:58] <Nutub> wolfrage: i mean that in windows i had a novie and the .srt with the same name, and the player load it automatically
[18:58] <wolfrage> dude1: have you choosen to set that as your defuALT
[18:58] <c4pt> hello i have a question since ubuntu and debian are somewhat similar regarding hfsplus and mounting hfsplus as rw
[18:58] <sresu> goltoof: So, now what should be City , ID, St? (onfirming so that weatherrc recognises it) :)
[18:58] <goltoof> sresu,    any working id should,  VABB (i think) is your id
[18:58] <gogeta> c4pt: should be the same for all lnux
[18:58] <c4pt> when i mount hfsplus in maverick i can make changes to the filesystem regardless if its journaled or not but when i try this in debian i cant seem to make any changes
[18:59] <dude1> how do i set it as default? in monitor preferences i can only "apply" but not save or sth
[18:59] <c4pt> gogeta, ^
[18:59] <goltoof> City = Bombay ... not sure about state,
[18:59] <wolfrage> nutub: edit ->preferences-> general ->textsubtitles-> check box load subtitle files ....
[18:59] <sresu> goltoof: State is what I'm unsure of it to accept/recognise. What does that database says to considered for weatherrc?
[18:59] <wolfrage> dude1: what version of Ubuntu do you have
[19:00] <dude1> 10.10
[19:00] <dude1> actually its mint 9
[19:00] <andornaut> hi, im trying to downgrade to php5.2. I've added a dotdeb repo to my sources.list, now howdo i specify that i want to use the 5.2 deb from that repo instead of the 5.3 deb from the main lucid repo (or the 5.3 deb from the dotdeb repo)? Also, related dependencies need to come from the 5.2 debs ...
[19:00] <gogeta> c4pt: ubuntu uses ,mmore debain testing packages then stable maybe hfs jurnerled isnt in the stable debion  branch
[19:00] <system_> Hello everyone.

[19:06] <switchgirl> hello i have a task i need to complete for work
[19:06] <dom__> Hey, can anyone out there help me with installing from a PPA?
[19:06] <sresu> But unsure as yo how it takes the latest rather how it links to net for other cities
[19:06] <Mustafa_> help
[19:06] <Mustafa_> I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, and I'm having a problem with the WLAN adapter driver
[19:06] <gogeta> frxstrem: you should be able to chmod +x them
[19:06] <wolfrage> dude1: I am looking... and thinking
[19:07] <bukem> if i have been using ubuntu for more then about 8 hours it starts to get very slow, and the reaction time to clicking a link or using anything really  is just a lot slower ... cant take this much longer
[19:07] <biston> good evening, I used ddrescue to clone my hdd1 onto hdd2 because i need hdd1 to be empty, and i want to make sure that the cloned system runs smoothly but i can't boot to it since the UUIDs on the partitions are the same ( http://stirkbin.com/a8870 ). I also cannot unplug the hdd since i only have remote access to the box along with IPKVM access. Can i still use root(hdd1,0) instead of UUIDs
[19:07] <biston> in menu.lst on ubuntu 9 ?
[19:07] <gogeta> frxstrem: or the folder your tosssing your windows apps in is set as non exc
[19:07] <switchgirl> i am looking for info on rolling out ubuntu for over 55,000 machines and 46 servers please can someone help?
[19:07] <gogeta> frxstrem: premmision thing
[19:07] <wolfrage> dude1: have you set both monitors correctly and then applied the settings.
[19:07] <dom__> I am having problems with installing from a PPA. I have registered the PPA exactly as instructions said to, but then it just says "and now install through terminal how you normally would" and I have never installed anything through terminal!
[19:08] <tripps> Did ubuntu remove the Pictures folder?
[19:08] <hamid_rostami> fdtotti2005:
[19:08] <dude1> wolfrage: yeah. when i boot up, only the left one gets a signal.
[19:08] <Mustafa_> help
[19:08] <gogeta> tripps: make a new one lol
[19:08] <wolfrage> dude1: do you have this file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:08] <Mustafa_> anyone please
[19:08] <psusi> dom__: sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:08] <dom__> done that
[19:08] <mawst> What's the fie the network settings are saved to for ifconfig etc? When I log out of X I lose internet
[19:08] <tripps> gogeta, yeah but where did it go? I have the nice folder icons on Videos, Music, Documents, etc.
[19:09] <Masoudsh> hi every body.whats up
[19:09] <H__> Question : How to fix this "jpegtopnm: symbol lookup error: jpegtopnm: undefined symbol: malloc2" on Maverick (jpegtopnm from netpbm 2:10.0-12.2) ?
[19:09] <xrdodrx> !offtopic | Masoudsh
[19:09] <gogeta> tripps: dunno i never used it so i never notced it was gone
[19:09] <dude1> wolfrage: then i change some setting, doesnt matter which, the display switches to the right and the resolution goes down. however, when i click on "restore previous settings" both monitors are working perfectly well.
[19:09] <dom__> after the upgade, it just says 0 new installed, 0 removed, 0 upgraded
[19:09] <gogeta> tripps: should be able to set it with those icons easy enough
[19:09] <tripps> maybe it was called Photos. In either case it isn't there any more
[19:10] <tripps> weird. oh well
[19:10] <dude1> wolfrage: left one is connected with VGA and the right one with HDMI/DVI
[19:10] <tripps> gogeta, yeah that's what I did. Just really strange
[19:10] <wolfrage> dude1: copy, do you have that file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf    | I am just eliminating possible culperts
[19:11] <biston> I used ddrescue to clone my hdd1 onto hdd2 because i need hdd1 to be empty, and i want to make sure that the cloned system runs smoothly but i can't boot to it since the UUIDs on the partitions are the same ( http://stirkbin.com/a8870 ). I also cannot unplug the hdd since i only have remote access to the box along with IPKVM access. Can i still use root(hdd1,0) instead of UUIDs in menu.lst on
[19:11] <biston> ubuntu 9 ?
[19:11] <dude1> boot is shown on both screens simultaneously, then the login screen is on the right screen, and when logged in only the left gets signal
[19:11] <tripps> when I create the shortcut to Photos in the file browser, it doesn't maintain the folder icon (emblem)
[19:11] <gogeta> biston: you probly need to update grup to reflect the change
[19:11] <dude1> °_o got no xorg.conf - only a xorg.conf.failsafe
[19:11] <goltoof> what's prefferable for AD... likewise-open or winbind/samba ?
[19:12] <wolfrage> dude1: the one screen login is common, my computer does the same...
[19:12] <dude1> i know
[19:12] <gogeta> biston: oh wow you made a excaate clone didnt you
[19:12] <biston> yup, i was just typing that for you
[19:12] <dude1> heres my xorg.conf.failsafe: http://pastebin.com/HQuGpSDL
[19:12] <wolfrage> dude1: GDM has to be specially configured to get both.
[19:13] <gogeta> biston: probly woulda saved alot of headacke by just moving the filess then making the second drive bootable
[19:13] <wolfrage> dude1: ok but you do not have xorg.conf file right
[19:13] <dude1> not in /etc/X11/
[19:13] <neodemi> ok, the wierdest thing just happened. i rebooted my main machine after trying to install virtualbox, and it rebooted into low graphics mode without network access or audio
[19:13] <dude1> but tehres a xorg.conf.backup
[19:13] <neodemi> why would ubuntu break like that?
[19:13] <biston> gogeta i know i know... i always use dump & restore, i just wanted to try ddrescue for once and here's what happened
[19:14] <Genevieve> i'm using windows 7 starter to download the ubuntu repository to use on a computer that doesn't have internet access at the moment. i downloaded the packages files, but cannot download the release file. it just comes up as text. what can i do?
[19:14] <dude1> heres my xorg.conf.backup http://pastebin.com/TXnpQykt
[19:14] <AeSix> neodemi it didn't break, it's in ubuntu's version of Safe Mode. Did you reboot it again?
[19:14] <biston> gogeta so i can't simply change syntax to root(hdX,Y) ?
[19:14] <neodemi> yes, it has continued to boot into the same mode 3 times now
[19:15] <mawst> Anyone know how to set the file manager in openbox session?
[19:15] <gogeta> biston: ddrescuse is ment for cloning the drive excaly like to a drive of same size.
[19:15] <gogeta> biston: like from a bad hardrive
[19:15] <AeSix> ok then, log ut of the gui, switch to another tty, kill x then run the configuration utility for X
[19:16] <biston> i know
[19:16] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks, I get a segfault every time I try to run mplayer or vlc, can somebody help me with this?
[19:16] <wolfrage> dude1: I am not sure | I was looking for a way to automaticly issue the "restore Previous" command but I can not find the command.
[19:16] <AeSix> neodemi above
[19:16] <gogeta> biston: so everything gets vlone even the uuid
[19:17] <biston> i can see that, that's why i'm asking if i can use the 'root (hdX,Y)' line on menu.lst in ubuntu 9
[19:17] <gogeta> biston: you might be able to go around the uuid mount and mount it directly
[19:17] <dude1> wolfrage: can't i just make an xorg.conf with the right settings for both screens?
[19:17] <wolfrage> dude1: yes but, you have to realize what that could mean...
[19:18] <biston> and by mount it directly you mean root line?
[19:18] <wolfrage> dude1: if you get it wrong... you may have to fix it via the command line
[19:18] <dude1> i'd have to kill the xorg.conf and the the .backup will load the next time right?
[19:18] <sisf> Is there any way to turn on bluetooth by command line? My bluetooth switch is broken and I can`t use it. And I know in 10.04 it was turned on at boot time.
[19:18] <gogeta> biston: yea probly the only real way to change the uuid is threw a hex edit
[19:19] <wolfrage> dude1: are you familiar with nano? I also find mc to be a great tool for command line fixing...
[19:19] <neodemi> AeSix, when you say kill x, do you mean kill Xorg?
[19:19] <dude1> never been too familiar with command line stuff at all :/
[19:19] <wolfrage> dude1: your xorg.conf.backup is made to work with a nividia card with nvidia drivers installed
[19:19] <wolfrage> dude1: so that will not work
[19:19] <gogeta> biston: unles you had a bad drive ddrescu was just a headacke for you
[19:20] <dude1> but where does the monitor preferences get its settings
[19:20] <dude1> if the .backup won't work without drivers and theres no xorg.conf
[19:20] <wolfrage> dude1: you have to generate a new xorg.conf with the right settings for each... I have done things like that before... but knowing which setting where is a headache...
[19:20] <wolfrage> dude1: ubuntu no longer uses xorg.conf files
[19:21] <wolfrage> dude1: but it can
[19:21] <dude1> aaah kthx
[19:21] <dude1> so where does it save monitor prefs?
[19:21] <dude1> are they editable?
[19:21] <system_> Monitor preferences?
[19:21] <wolfrage> dude1: under the monitor section
[19:21] <H__> dude1: gnome and kde do that somewhere afaik
[19:22] <wolfrage> dude1: in the xorg.conf file
[19:22] <dude1> ...that isnt there ...
[19:22] <wolfrage> dude1: right you have to make that section... like I say setting up a xorg.conf can be a real headache
[19:23] <wolfrage> dude1: before you go to far you should: apt-get install mc
[19:23] <wolfrage> dude1: and then from the command line: mc
[19:23] <wolfrage> just to get used to mc
[19:23] <zeld> bye
[19:24] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks, I get a segfault every time I try to run mplayer or vlc, can somebody help me with this?
[19:24] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: thats a good one anythiing else segfaulting
[19:24] <dude1> i cant find  /etc/X11 in mc
[19:25] <wolfrage> yerushalmi: have you installed medibuntu repos?
[19:25] <dude1> oh there it is
[19:25] <gogeta> wolfrage: both players segfulting isnt a codec issue
[19:25] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: Not that I know of. But I have this mp4 file I'm trying to play and can't play it anywhere. Not that this is something new - I've been having a lot of trouble with video files and videos on web pages from the moment I installed ubuntu
[19:26] <rigved> hi everyone
[19:26] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: hate to say it only time i ever see segfalts is failing hardware
[19:26] <Yerushalmi> example of strace output: http://pastebin.com/6WhC79Dp
[19:26] <wolfrage> dude1: to edit a file highlight it and hit F4
[19:26] <rigved> what is the lubuntu irc channel?
[19:26] <Genevieve> so I'm trying to install the broadcom STA wireless driver in ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition. I just tried sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source and got the following message "depends: dkms but it is not installable. depends: linux-libc-dev but it is not installable. depends: libc6-dev but it is not installable" any suggestions?????
[19:26] <sresu> goltoof:
[19:26] <Giant81> lubuntu?
[19:26]  * Giant81 goes googling
[19:27] <IdleOne> rigved: #lubuntu
[19:27] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: vlc should handel mp4 without issue
[19:27] <DiogenesW> gute nacht
[19:27] <sresu> jrib?
[19:27] <rigved> IdleOne: thanx
[19:27] <F-117> oR
[19:27] <jrib> sresu: ?
[19:27] <goltoof> sresu ?
[19:27] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: doesn't matter, I can't even type "vlc" with nothing attached without getting a segfault
[19:27] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: it could be a video driver issue
[19:27] <Yerushalmi> mplayer --help also gives a segfault

[19:28] <karthick87> Is there any easter eggs in Ubuntu...?
[19:28] <sresu> jrib: goltoof: Is it possible that it auto -detects place and give weather?
[19:28] <sresu> by web
[19:28] <goltoof> sresu,    auto detect id?    wait, what?
[19:28] <jrib> sresu: huh?
[19:28] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: well eyther you have some odd driver issue with your card or its failing
[19:29] <biston> gogeta, just some feedback, adding root (hdX,Y) - removing UUID line - and replacing root=UUID=<UUID> by root=/dev/sd<N><Z> doesn't work, i guess i'll get back to dump and restore
[19:29] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: So let's assume it's a driver issue, because that's the only thing I can fix with your help - how do I fix it?
[19:29] <sresu> goltoof: jrib: I' m talking about weatherrc.. Didn't we discuss about it a moment ago?
[19:29] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: well what card
[19:29] <goltoof> sresu,    yes but i don't get what you're asking about it
[19:29] <jrib> sresu: yes, but I don't understand your latest question
[19:29] <rigved> also, which one is better - Xubuntu or Lubuntu? i want one which is as close as possible to Ubuntu.
[19:29] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: No idea, I inherited the computer from my brother, how do I find out?
[19:29] <goltoof> sresu,    and evidently me and jrib have formed some sort of hive mind
[19:30] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: lspci
[19:30] <sresu> Hah :)
[19:30] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: should tell you everything connected
[19:30]  * jrib lets goltoof do the rest of the typing for us

[19:31] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: you can also trying turning ff visual effects if its a old card it may not be able to handel the gl rendering with compiz on
[19:31] <gogeta> off
[19:31] <Yerushalmi> this is the netbook edition, I have no visual effects :)
[19:31] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: cousing your youtube lag and segfalting vlc
[19:31] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: netbook edtion has compiz
[19:32] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: but im not shure how to turn it off on that ui
[19:32]  * wolfrage is away
[19:32] <jacktheripper> is it possible to run a .desktop file from terminal ?
[19:32] <sresu> jrib: goltoof: Its like having system to detect the place automatically as it finds the time. The way time works is by finding location, So, why can't we include it with it? The moment location is found out, it can text the weather.
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: there are some. Press alt+f2 and run: metacity --replace ,may help
[19:32] <_sudo> I installed KDE on my ubuntu installation and now every now and then my cursor becomes a 1 inch vertical line of mini cursors.  Anyone know what to do to fix this?  It gets annoying
[19:32] <Yerushalmi> What is compiz and how do I access it?
[19:32] <goltoof> sresu,    highly doubt it
[19:32] <soroush> hi guys. when i installing my wireless driver on(Hardware Driver) that warning : " System Error: instaling Archive() : failed. so how i can to install wireless driver??
[19:33] <sresu> goltoof: jrib: which is how weather applet/widget work
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> jacktheripper: if you cat the desktop file and read the exec line, you can run the command it runs...
[19:33] <yahatsei> Hello
[19:33] <goltoof> sresu,   well yeah, possible but i'd look around and try finding a widget that already does that
[19:33] <jacktheripper> ActionParsnip, it has custom startup settings. It segfaults when run from terminal, works from shortcut.
[19:33] <yahatsei> I need help ._.
[19:33] <IdleOne> karthick87: hit alt-f2 and enter gegls from outer space . if you search for ubuntu easter eggs you will find a lot of "fun" things

[19:34] <sresu> IdleOne: Yeah... like sudo apt-get moo.. Its cool!
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> albanian: not if you don't ask

[19:34] <BajK_> Wubi does not support downloading via proxy?

[19:34] <yahatsei> Can you help me please? :/
[19:35] <sresu> !ask | yahatsei
[19:35] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Tried it, it "reloaded" all my windows and did nothing else
[19:35] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: llok for visual effects in apperance settings
[19:35] <naxa> how do people achieve reliable hardware for email servers (e.g. 99,99% uptime)? i'm searching for a terminology for this, a good tutorial, or any other advice.
[19:35] <karthick87> ActionParsnip: yes i noticed that,how to get rid of that fish
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> yahatsei: you haven't asked a uestion....
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: killall gnome-panel
[19:35] <BajK_> I have two solutions getting my external kubuntu running: Install it on the HDD (with wubi) beacuse no cd burner. Or installing GRUB but I don't know exactly how to make it work (because i cannot boot usb -> no bios pw)
[19:35] <kubanc_>  is there any lightweight internet browser for ubuntu 10.10?
[19:36] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: *nod* like I said, I don't have any. Everything inside the visual effects tab is greyed out, with the little bullet in "None"
[19:36] <X-Sleepy-X> naxa: ups, mirror etc
[19:36] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: umm a netbook its probly a gma card
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> naxa: only 2 9s? Prett easy.
[19:36] <rigved> can anyone tell me how close is lubuntu or xubuntu to ubuntu in terms of the look and the applications available...?
[19:36] <albanian> I have to upgrade my notebook ( actual version 9.x lucid ) to the newest 10.10 and i mean to do it by ISO, is it possible?
[19:36] <sresu> jrib: How does a weather applet or widget work in Ubuntu?
[19:36] <naxa> ActionParsnip, :) how? X-Sleepy-X: thanks
[19:36] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: and my gma does not segfault with vlc
[19:37] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: So what's going on?
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> rigved: lubuntu uses lighter apps than ubuntu and doesn't have a lot. Of the niceties from gnome which bog it down
[19:37] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: thats what im trying to figure out lol
[19:37] <yahatsei> I had install xubuntu for make a server (www.minecraft.net) ... i don't know how i can open a programm *duck an run away* ... Sorry for my english - i'm from switzerland (german) and normally i'm a Windows 7 User
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> naxa: read reviews on server forums, also ask in #ubuntu-server you should also check the ubuntu certified servers list
[19:38] <yahatsei> It's my first ...alternate operating system
[19:38] <naxa> ActionParsnip, thanks!
[19:38] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: i got a good one for ya slow youtube videos and vlc segfults
[19:38] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: Hehe :)
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> yahatsei: alternative to what?
[19:38] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: Where'd you get slow youtube videos from, though?
[19:38] <albanian> plz
[19:38] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: you said you had issues with web video
[19:38] <yahatsei> Windows 7 64-Bit ~
[19:39] <Yerushalmi> Not slow (and youtube actually works fine). Other types of videos. They refuse to load entirely.
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf ,use http://pastie.org to give the output
[19:39] <yahatsei> I have download the minecraft Server.jsp ... and now i'm confused :3
[19:40] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: refuse to load? you mean they just cut out
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> yahatsei: isn't mac os an "alternative OS" then?
[19:40] <goltoof> sresu:  you're getting into something very specific that isn't really ubuntu related..  i'd look around the different programming forums for answers on that
[19:40] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: No, they just sit there as a grey or black box in an otherwise perfectly-fine webpage
[19:40] <sresu> goltoof: Sure.. I was about to stop it myself
[19:40] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: well thats probly divx vids
[19:40] <Yerushalmi> Most of the ttime even the controls aren't there.
[19:41] <dude1> so if i don't have an xorg.conf where does it save the cinfiguration them
[19:41] <goltoof> sresu,   :)  it's easy to get ahead of yourself here
[19:41] <dude1> *config
[19:41] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: mplayer normaly can handel them well with the geko plugin
[19:41] <yahatsei> ActionParsnip: :rolleyes: i mean Windows = Average, all other = alternate because the sales.
[19:41] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: but said that segfults to
[19:41] <Yerushalmi> yup
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: also open xorg.conf and a DRI section, there are samples around. Also look into /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
[19:41] <Yerushalmi> typing mplayer into terminal gives a segfault
[19:41] <yahatsei> I like xubuntu ...
[19:41] <yahatsei> somehow
[19:41] <yahatsei> :D
[19:41] <leonblanco> Does anybody here Use GrooveSYNC ?
[19:42] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: well flash seems to work but both mplayer and vlc segfaults
[19:42] <yahatsei> Can't help me?
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> dude1: udev detects it at boot. You can use an xorg.conf file if you like, it will be obeyed
[19:42] <Yerushalmi> I don't know if flash works - quick, give me a site with flash
[19:42] <frxstrem> is it possible to remount a DVD while still in use, after accidentally ejecting it?
[19:42] <Yerushalmi> badgerbadgerbadger is flash, right?
[19:42] <pitiplatch> hey, my ts3 install gets stuck whilie uncompressing, can someone help?
[19:42] <Giant81> mushroom mushroom !!!
[19:43] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: does totem segfault?
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: if you run them as a different user, are they ok?
[19:43] <leonblanco> Does anybody here Use GrooveSYNC ?
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: www.rathergood.com/blode2
[19:43] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: the defult movie player
[19:43] <Yerushalmi> Nope, it opens fine. I'll check if it plays the file.
[19:43] <goltoof> sresu,    but as a side note,  a weather apps typically working by discovering the location of the isp, or by gps, and with that info determine the METAR id
[19:44] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: it sounds like the permission on mplayer and vlc are someone how messed up
[19:44] <dude1> ActionParsnip: can i also just set some things in xorg.conf and all other settings are to be used as detected? or do i have to build it completely
[19:44] <gogeta> somehow
[19:44] <Yerushalmi> Nope, I opened the mp4 file and the window immediately closed itself
[19:44] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: try like sudo lc
[19:44] <gogeta> sudo vlc
[19:44] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: just to see if it opens
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> dude1: I believe there's a way to dump the running settings to the file, not sure what it is. I'm sure: man X ,or: man xorg ,will tell you
[19:45] <Yerushalmi> "VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry."
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: sudo is NOT for gui apps like vlc
[19:45] <Yerushalmi> I tried "totem <filename>" and got: segfault.
[19:45] <Giant81> gksudo
[19:45] <_sudo> gogeta vlc
[19:45] <sresu> goltoof: Yes, gps/isp gives the domain and METAR id in this gives helps to dig further. I'm looking for steps till the finding of domain and reflected back. Well, either ways I'll find it out. Thanks.
[19:45] <Giant81> though you shouldn't have to run a video program as rot
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: use gksudo, you will garbage the ownership of $HOME/.ICEauthority
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> Giant81: its just to test
[19:46] <Yerushalmi> gksudo does the same thing
[19:46] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: well mplayer can be done non gui so sudo mplayer video.mp4
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: visually, yes. Under the hood, not at all
[19:46] <Yerushalmi> Oh, this is new
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: its really not
[19:47] <Yerushalmi> I mean what I just tried and the output:
[19:47] <dude1> dont find anything in man xorg, but dumping the running settings is exactly what i need
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> I see
[19:47] <Yerushalmi> "gksudo totem <filename>" opens up the window and asks if I want to search for a suitable plugin
[19:47] <goltoof> ActionParsnip,   what's ICEauthority for again?  I had errors stating it before
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> dude1: it does exist
[19:47] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: ahh
[19:47] <Yerushalmi> without gksudo, it just opens the window and crashes and reports a segfault
[19:47] <BajK_> any ideas for GRUB installing or wubi?
[19:47] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: we found the problem
[19:48] <Yerushalmi> Did we ? That would be awesome :)
[19:48] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: you need to add your user account to video apps
[19:48] <Yerushalmi> How do I do that?
[19:48] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: in user prefs
[19:48] <albanian> camooooooooooooooon some one help me, i need just an answer and that's all... plzplzplzplzplzpl
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: its a needed file to run stuff using sudo in the admin group as far as I know. Sudo doesn't set up the x environment right for elevated access and the file gets screwed. It can easily be avoided
[19:48] <delaman> Anyone here ever use 'youtube-dl' ?  I can not get this very simple program to work.  Here is the comand I am trying to run http://pastebin.com/Dz8LpUeM
[19:48] <goltoof> !anyone
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> albanian: what is your uestion?
[19:49] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: for some reasion your user settings are all wrong
[19:49] <albanian> I have to upgrade my notebook ( actual version 9.x lucid ) to the newest 10.10 and i mean to do it by ISO, is it possible?
[19:49] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: So how do I fix it? I opened up "Users and groups"
[19:49] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: did you make a new user account or soemthing
[19:49] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: yea pretty mutch add him to everything
[19:49] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: Nope, this is the default account with which Ubuntu was installed
[19:50] <Giant81> I thought lucid was 10.04?
[19:50] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: wel the installer messed up the premissions then
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> Giant81: it is
[19:50] <Giant81> so albanian doesn't know what he's got
[19:50] <goltoof> how do i give multiple groups ownership to a dir?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> albanian: yes, use the alternate iso (or cd) and you can
[19:51] <Yerushalmi> User account type for "Daniel" is "Administrator". User priveleges: Everything is checked except "connect to wireless and ethernet networks" and "use audio devices". Check them both?
[19:51] <jrib> goltoof: use ACLs
[19:51] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: once your user can acress all the groups it should stop the segfault issu
[19:51] <gogeta> issue
[19:51] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: So how do I do that?
[19:51] <moonloop> hello... have a question. I have an old server running 7.04 and unfortunately I cant upgrade right now. I do need to upgrade Mysql though. .. ANyone know of a source to add to do this?
[19:52] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: Do I change "Main group" under "advanced" or what do I do?
[19:52] <goltoof> jrib,      ?    i mean a local dir...   ie, /var/www  only www-admin has access....  need user access
[19:52] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: I'm afraid you'll have to walk me through this because I'm quite new to Ubuntu
[19:52] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: lemmie pull it up myself so i dont give ya bad advice
[19:52] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: Hehe, okay :)
[19:52] <Driggo> Hi
[19:52] <jrib> goltoof: if you need to manage permissions with multiple groups, use ACLs (man setfacl, man getfacl)
[19:53] <Jelou> Hello, anyone with a Creative ZEN X-Fi working with Nautilus?
[19:53] <goltoof> jrib,    kthx
[19:53] <goltoof> Jelou,   not mounting for ya?
[19:53] <albanian> Giant81 mine lucid was 9.x don't rember wellm, but doing that way, using alternate cd, i dont have to lose my installed app ??? right ?
[19:54] <Jelou> yes, mounting but the player doesn't show the files copied with Nautilis
[19:54] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: ok look in advance
[19:54] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: and advanced again in your main grup the same as your login
[19:54] <Yerushalmi> *nod*
[19:55] <Yerushalmi> Main group is the same as my login, yes
[19:55] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: is the account type set as custome?
[19:55] <Yerushalmi> No, Administrator.
[19:55] <Giant81> albanian, I don't think so, you should be able to move from version to version without loosing any programs
[19:55] <Giant81> but I don't know for sure
[19:55] <Giant81> never done it
[19:55] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: that may be the issue
[19:55] <goltoof> Jelou,    hmm  most players are typical drag and drop, some allow drag and drop but are encrypted and only play files managed with some clietn (ie, itunes)
[19:56] <horseatingweeds> Where does postfix put email messages?
[19:56] <Yerushalmi> Custom is greyed out though as an option
[19:56] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: it sees you as admin and not the user
[19:56] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: ok
[19:56] <albanian> Giant81, Thankyou very mutch :) nice to chat with u all ;) good Night from Tirana!
[19:56] <Yerushalmi> What, admins can't play video? :)
[19:56] <Yerushalmi> Administrator or Desktop user are the only options
[19:56] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: slect manage groups
[19:57] <Jelou> goltoof, i've tried gnomad2, qlix... but don't work, i can't acces to the player
[19:57] <Yerushalmi> *nod*
[19:58] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: then in video slect proptery and see if your listed
[19:58] <goltoof> Jelou,   did it come with software?  there are no songs on it that you can see, that were already on it?
[19:58] <Yerushalmi> I am, yes
[19:59] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: go to advanced again and see if your user privlages are correct
[19:59] <reya276> How can I stop the update manager from preventing me to update packages which are marked insecure or rather how can I fix it so that they are secure?
[19:59] <Yerushalmi> As I said earlier, everything was checked except "connect to wireless and ethernet networks" and "use audio devices". I checked them both.
[19:59] <Jelou> goltoof, the songs already on it are recognized by the player, but if i upload new files not
[19:59] <blakkheim> reya276: either a) stop using 3rd party repositories or b) get their keys registered
[20:00] <anon33_> i'm trying to launch gnome-color-profiles from the command line but can't find the exectuable - any help would be GREATLY appreciated
[20:00] <reya276> blakkheim, I'm using the medibuntu repositories why would those be insecure?
[20:00] <frxstrem> how can I get the name of the audio output device(s) in /dev/ ?
[20:00] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: its defently a premission issue with the app did you install them yourself>
[20:00] <goltoof> Jelou,   if there are songs already on it that play then make sure the dir you're copying to is the same dir... then navigate to the dir and ls -l   check/change permission of files
[20:00] <Guest47855> Salut
[20:00] <blakkheim> reya276: you can't verify the packages were signed
[20:00] <reya276> and most of the repositories have keys
[20:00] <Jelou> goltoof, and after unmoun a mount the player, the files uploaded with Nautilus don't show the "sound" info in properties
[20:00] <jigrap> is there a way to encrypt a users home directory?
[20:00] <Yerushalmi> I installed Ubuntu myself, I figured I had used standard default settings
[20:01] <reya276> blakkheim, but this also happens with canonicals
[20:01] <ndroftheline> hello can somebody please help me with nautilus' address bar
[20:01] <jigrap> without readding the user
[20:01] <Yerushalmi> I also installed vlc just two days ago, on the advice of someone here in the chatroom who said it could solve the problem I had with mplayer giving me segfaults :)
[20:01] <ndroftheline> it insists on the damn button view and i can't figure out how to switch it back to address/path view
[20:01] <ish> Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the panel calendar?
[20:01] <reya276> blakkheim, so it seems like something else is going on
[20:02] <reya276> blakkheim, why would they canonical repository give me a key error issue
[20:02] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: for some reasion it did not give your user account the premission it needs
[20:02] <ndroftheline> anybody know to switch nautilus' address bar from that stupid button view to path view?
[20:02] <Yerushalmi> gogeta: So how do I get it?
[20:02] <qdk> Is there a way to have cp delete the target file before copying, when the target file exists?
[20:02] <reya276> like when I so sudo apt-get update i get a bunch of errors
[20:02] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: well the account says you have acess
[20:02] <Yerushalmi> Yet typing "mplayer" gives me a segfault
[20:02] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: did you install it with the app store or something
[20:02] <waagbo> Hi! Anyone know where I can get help with VMware Server 2.02 on Ubuntu 10.04?
[20:02] <Yerushalmi> Interestingly, typing gksudo mplayer gives me... nothing.
[20:02] <blakkheim> "app store" ?
[20:03] <blakkheim> :|
[20:03] <qdk> Is there a way to have cp delete the target file before copying, when the target file exists? My problem is that cp doesnt overwrite a symlink it copy the file to the destination of the symlink.
[20:03] <Yerushalmi> No segfault, just a little bit of wait before the terminal prompt pops up again
[20:03] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: mplayer is textbased it will do knothing
[20:03] <Yerushalmi> Ah.
[20:03] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: the gui is gmplayer
[20:03] <Yerushalmi> ... which is not installed.
[20:03] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: or mplayer-gtk
[20:03] <reya276> blakkheim, see this is what I get http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/528873/
[20:04] <Yerushalmi> Command not found
[20:04] <Yerushalmi> I had installed vlc through Ubuntu software center
[20:04] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: but thats not the issue anways
[20:04] <Yerushalmi> mplayer came with the Ubuntu installation
[20:04] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: umm no it didnt
[20:04] <horseatingweeds> Does postfix store email messages?
[20:04] <Yerushalmi> ...could've sworn it did
[20:04] <reya276> blakkheim, and these are only for the ones I have kept enabled
[20:05] <Guest10453> ciao a tutti
[20:05] <Yerushalmi> If it didn't, then I probably installed with Ubuntu software center at some point
[20:05] <reya276> so let me enabled the rest so you can see them
[20:05] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: did you install vlc that way
[20:05] <Guest10453> sampei
[20:05] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: maybe its the software store borking it up
[20:05] <Yerushalmi> yes
[20:06] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: ok lets do sudo apt-get remove vlc
[20:06] <kencausey> I'm trying to install 10.10 AMD64 Desktop on a system with onboard Nvidia video, after the initial menu I lose video support.  Help?
[20:06] <Yerushalmi> done
[20:07] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: then sudo apt-get install vlc
[20:07] <waagbo> vmware server 2.0.2 hangs on "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[20:07] <waagbo> kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]" on my 10.04.1 Server. Any suggestions?
[20:07] <oxicarus> guys. with apache2 and lighttpd i can use php5/fastcgi 'as is', but with NGINX i only seem to have two options, either use apache php config as gateway, or setup some sort of "cgi/php server" listening on eg port 9000. so guys, hey, are there some hidden option to kick and flip this script 'the old faschioned way' with nginx, i.e. not open any additional listening ports on the server besides the actual httpd port, and also not walk through apache2/php ....?? kin
[20:07] <reya276> blakkheim, nope I guess those are it
[20:07] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: see if it still segfaults after
[20:07] <reya276> How can I fix this issue? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/528873/
[20:07] <Yerushalmi> Yup, it does.
[20:07] <Yerushalmi> *sigh*
[20:08] <rigved> kencausey: initial menu? as in the menu of the installer for ubuntu 10.10?
[20:08] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: all the media player segfulting arg
[20:08] <Yerushalmi> Arg indeed.
[20:08] <Yerushalmi> You think it really is a hardware problem after all?
[20:09] <Giant81> onboard nvidia sucks
[20:09] <laboratorio> salve
[20:09] <armand_> Salut
[20:09] <laboratorio> chiedo un help su come configurare grub2
[20:09] <X-Sleepy-X> !it | laboratorio
[20:10] <laboratorio> ok fatto grazie
[20:10] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: did you upgrade or fresh install
[20:10] <kencausey> rigved: The menu for the installer, the language choice, whether I want to try or install, etc.
[20:10] <Guest11856> hi
[20:10] <smw> hi Guest11856
[20:10] <Yerushalmi> Tried upgrading to 10.04 from 9.whatever, it borked, I did a complete format and reinstall 10.
[20:10] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: couse it looks like something whent horridly wrong
[20:10] <Syburg> hey, i'm running ubuntu server 10.04 with squid and squidGuard. But it's not really working, can someone help out?
[20:10] <kencausey> rigved: As soon as I choose either 'install' or 'try' (or just leave it alone which I guess goes into 'try') the monitor goes into standby mode.
[20:11] <rigved> kencausey: it is possible that your integrated nvidia graphics chipset does not support the graphics of gnome. try using the alternate cd.
[20:11] <kencausey> rigved: OK, will do.
[20:11] <Yerushalmi> I had similar problems with 9, but that was before I knew how to use terminal so I don't know if it was doing segfaults, just video almost never worked except for youtube.
[20:11] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: a premission issue like this before hua
[20:11] <smw> Syburg, please give more information. Ask a specific question and you are more likely to get a response
[20:11] <Yerushalmi> huh?
[20:11] <Guest11856> i've got 4 desktops in lan ( all with ubuntu ), each of PCs has a hard drive with about 500gb disk space - where actually only ~20GB is used... now i'm thinking about creating some separate partitions on each of them, and mount as one big lan disk... is it possible? :D
[20:12] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: thats whats going on
[20:12] <Yerushalmi> Mmm. Well, I have to go anyways... I'll come back in later tonight or tomorrow morning, you or whoever else is in here can try helping me again then, I guess...
[20:12] <Yerushalmi> Thanks for trying at least...
[20:12] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: to bad you dont rember how you fixed it
[20:12] <Guest11856> any one ?
[20:12] <Yerushalmi> I appreciate it
[20:12] <Yerushalmi> Oh, no, I never fixed it
[20:13] <Yerushalmi> I just ignored it
[20:13] <younder> lol
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> Guest11856: I just joined. Wassup,
[20:13] <Yerushalmi> any time I wanted to watch something I did it on the desktop
[20:13] <Guest11856> ActionParsnip, i've got 4 desktops in lan ( all with ubuntu ), each of PCs has a hard drive with about 500gb disk space - where actually only ~20GB is used... now i'm thinking about creating some separate partitions on each of them, and mount as one big lan disk... is it possible? :D
[20:13] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: well you can gksudo totem or the mplay gui and they will work
[20:13] <deepfinger> need help with sound
[20:14] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: just not to healthy
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Guest11856: sure, there are server apps you can use to distribute storage
[20:14] <smw> Guest11856, look up "distributed file systems"
[20:14] <Guest11856> hum
[20:14] <Guest11856> ok
[20:14] <Yerushalmi> Yeah, I can imagine. Won't help me with webpages but at least in the meantime it should work
[20:14] <karthick87> Can I add and remove workspace in Unity?
[20:14] <Yerushalmi> Thanks :)
[20:14] <ppradhan> Guest11856: see glusterfs
[20:14] <Syburg> Okay, so squid is running fine if i disable squidGuard. But if i enable it with "url_rewrite_program /usr/bin/squidGuard -c /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf" and try to restart squid i get the followig error message: "start: Job failed to start"
[20:14] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: thats the quick and dirty fix but better to find out why the permissions are off
[20:15] <Yerushalmi> *nod*
[20:15] <deepfinger> does away one know how to fix sound
[20:16] <smw> deepfinger, !sound > deepfinger
[20:16] <dude1> so how do i dump the running settings into an empty xorg.conf?
[20:16] <Yerushalmi> Anyway, bye folks
[20:16] <smw> !sound > deepfinger
[20:16] <gogeta> Yerushalmi: its a matter of finding out what one your missing and adding it to your group something im not good at
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> For distributed file system, here is one option: http://www.michael-noll.com/wiki/Running_Hadoop_On_Ubuntu_Linux_(Single-Node_Cluster)
[20:16] <deepfinger> the sound just quite working
[20:17] <Yerushalmi> Well, I'll ask around later and maybe someone else will be able to :)
[20:17] <smw> deepfinger, there is one thing that sometimes happens to me. If you open up alsamixer, does it show pcm as muted?
[20:17] <Syburg> oh i figured out myself. after i compiled squidGuards database, squid remained as a zombie process i killed it restartet squid and it worked.
[20:17] <Syburg> anyway thanks for you attention.
[20:18] <serard> hello
[20:18] <smw> Syburg, sweet :-)
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> Syburg: aim for the head
[20:18] <Talinus> bye
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> serard: howdy
[20:18] <JackStoner> i need a lil help with openbox autostart...nm-applet doesnt autostart :(
[20:18] <serard> Just wondering what command should I write to see a list of IPs of computers connected on my LAN ?
[20:18] <Syburg> ActionParsnip: BOOM HEADSHOT! :D
[20:19] <mshadle> is ubuntu 10.10 maverick not 'production' ? at least for servers? i have to run do-release-upgrade -d to make my box think maverick is okay
[20:19] <serard> hello ActionParsnip  :)
[20:19] <karthick87> Can I add and remove workspace in Unity?
[20:19] <smw> serard, nmap x.x.x.* Where the x's are the first part of your ip address
[20:19] <gogeta> serard: if you mean a cat5 lan ifconfig will tell you the ip for eatch adaptor
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> JackStoner: add a symlink to the .desktop file located in /usr/share/applications and makeit in $HOME/.config/autostart
[20:19] <zatan> hi who can recommend for me good GUI translator  ?
[20:19] <serard> not IPs of my own computer, but IPs of all computers connected on my very same LAN
[20:20] <gogeta> serard: i knoe
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> zatan: google translate isn't shabby at all :)
[20:20] <smw> serard, yeah, all of them probably have the same first three numbers
[20:20] <serard> smw, thank you, sorry gogeta  for misunderstanding
[20:20] <Pici> mshadle: You need to modify /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to 'normal' from 'lts' in order for do-release-upgrade to suggest the upgrade.
[20:20] <smw> serard, you need to do a "scan" for them
[20:20] <gogeta> serard: lol both commands work
[20:20] <zatan> ActionParsnip,  yes but i want somethin GUI , who will be able to use google translator online :)
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Serard: try: nmap 192.168.0.0/24 ,or look for guides online
[20:20] <mshadle> pici: wouldnt that only make it so i only get LTS? i dont care about LTS. i want the latest stable. :)
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> zatan: it uses a web browser, which is a gui
[20:21] <laboratorio> hello can ask an help for configure grub2 in ubuntu 10.10
[20:21] <gogeta> serard: or just look at your roughter if your not cat5
[20:21] <smw> serard, (of course, you may want to just login to your router and see if it has a list)
[20:21] <mshadle> nevermind it was on lts :)
[20:21] <VCoolio> zatan: pygtranslator for example
[20:21] <Pici> mshadle: Right. Change 'Prompt=lts' to 'Prompt=normal'
[20:21] <smw> serard, many routers that do dhcp can give you a list of computers on the network
[20:21] <Pici> mshadle: Look at the contents of that file and you'll understand, it has a big commented explanation at the top.
[20:21] <zatan> VCoolio,  I am going to try now thanks
[20:21] <serard> my router is a "box" furnished by my isp, and I don't know how to get that list from it
[20:21] <mshadle> thanks. the way you explained it, it sounded backwards :)
[20:21] <gogeta> smw: pretty mjtch all
[20:21] <dax2112rush> Hi, I messed up pretty bad: chmodded sudoers and now sudo refuses to work cause sudoers is not 440. How can I modify the sudoers file without using sudo?
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> mshadle: the server upgrade method outlines what pici is saying
[20:22] <serard> there is a dhcp but not http server for administration, its done somehow else
[20:22] <jrib> dax2112rush: choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: make a note of what is expected, boot to root recovery mode and set it, then stop messing with the file
[20:22] <dax2112rush> jrib: yeah but root shell needs a root password
[20:22] <gogeta> serard: normaly its a local ip 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.254.254 are common
[20:22] <jrib> dax2112rush: no it doesn't.  Unless you set one for some strange reason.
[20:22] <dax2112rush> jrid: which of course has never been set
[20:23] <VCoolio> zatan: there are .debs here http://blog.xrado.si/tag/python
[20:23] <julie2> can anyone help me with a startup problem?
[20:23] <jrib> dax2112rush: what chmod command did you run by the way that ended up modifying /etc/sudoers?
[20:23] <dax2112rush> jrid: oh... yeah it needs one, I am pretty sure I never have setup one
[20:23] <jrib> julie2: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: sure, just run: sudo -i ,and you will be able to. Do as you wish
[20:23] <smw> !anyone | julie2
[20:23] <jrib> dax2112rush: I can tell you with 100% certainty that you would only be asked for a password if you decided to set a root password yourself
[20:24] <serard> yes I got it. Actually I started my VM using headless mode. Did ssh ...@.... but didn't worked. Actually, it looks like it has booted from ubuntu :)
[20:24] <dax2112rush> ActionParsnip: sudo -i complains about sudoers file
[20:24] <serard> sorry for being stupid :)
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: you can run all commands sans password til you type: exit
[20:24] <brontoeee> what are other apps from the kind of 'view your mind', 'graph-ers'?
[20:24] <rek_> i'm farting a lot
[20:24] <dax2112rush> jrib: yeah well it might be because I upgraded from older versions
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: yes. You need to reboot to root recovery mode, like I said earlier
[20:24] <jrib> dax2112rush: no, ubuntu has never set a root password, ever
[20:25] <dax2112rush> jrib: I am 100% sure what would be the password if I had setup one
[20:25] <rek_> there's some extra gas,,,,
[20:25] <jrib> dax2112rush: but anyway, I'll tell you how to get around it.  Answer my question though, what exactly did you execute that affected /etc/sudoers?
[20:25] <dax2112rush> jrib: of course it's possible I made a mistake typing it
[20:25] <gogeta> dax2112rush: you mean you forgot your passsword
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: if you did you aren't running ubuntu. The first account you made is not. Root, its a user
[20:25] <zatan> VCoolio,  thank u so much, that what i was looking for ;) just one more thing, do you know how to make shortcut to press TRANSLATE  instead of pressing with mouse?
[20:25] <dax2112rush> jrib: sudo chmod o+w /etc/sudoers
[20:25] <briced>  .say. /playerlist
[20:26] <jrib> !password | dax2112rush
[20:26] <gogeta> dax2112rush: passwords are cap sentiv maybe you had capslock on
[20:26] <jrib> dax2112rush: change init as described in the first web page
[20:26] <VCoolio> zatan: that was exactly what I was thinking about; but not yet
[20:26] <brad_> i'm writing my math thesis in latex, with gedit, but there's some things it won't do.  for instance, i would love to put some background colors around here and there.  for instance, i might give something a red background color if i think its wrong.  any suggestions for gedit alternatives?
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: ok then boot to root recovery and run: chmod o-w /etc/sudoers
[20:26] <dax2112rush> gogeta: I highly doubt it, I tend to use the same all the time (shame on me)
[20:26] <pepee> !sudo > pepee
[20:26] <serard> ls
[20:26] <glassresistor> so i managed to corrupt brtfs
[20:27] <zatan> VCoolio,  thank u anyway, if u will find it how to do it give me a shout ;)
[20:27] <gogeta> dax2112rush: well as they said boot into single user mode from there you can change your password
[20:27] <glassresistor> should have read more about it, being that there arnt working tools to fix it
[20:27] <marel> Today sound has been messing with me all day! Sound dissapears out of nowhere then comes back after some time, now it's been gone for over two hours, what should I do ?
[20:27] <dax2112rush> ActionParsnip: I can't I need a root password, but once I'll get a root console, I should be OK
[20:27] <jrib> dax2112rush: and once you do get sudo access back, you should lock the root account again
[20:27] <dax2112rush> jrib, gogeta: I'll try that password reset thing
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, then select root. You can then undo your mess
[20:27] <gogeta> dax2112rush: your never locked out of a linux system you have phycal acess to
[20:28] <dax2112rush> ActionParsnip : for some reason, I need a password to drop to root console
[20:28] <VCoolio> zatan: you can navigate using ctrl+tab, but not ideal
[20:28] <gogeta> dax2112rush: thers a mode just for fixing lost passwords
[20:28] <anygivenname> how do I check status of LogWatch ?
[20:28] <jrib> ActionParsnip: he set a root password and doesn't remember it, so I pointed him to !password which describes the "init=/bin/bash" method
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: then you set a root password which isn't needed or advised
[20:28] <marel> Today sound has been messing with me all day! Sound dissapears out of nowhere then comes back after some time, now it's been gone for over two hours, what should I do ?
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> jrib: livecd chroot?
[20:28] <Guest11856> ActionParsnip, hadoop seems to need very large amount of resources to run?
[20:28] <Genevieve> I need help. I'm trying to activate the broadcom STA driver on my ubuntu 10.10. I finally got it to appear, but when I try to activate, I get a message "failed to fetch file:///media/PENDRIVE/repository/pool/main/f/fakeroot/fakeroot_1.14.4-1ubuntu1_i386.deb"
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: you really are intent on destroying your. OS aren't you....
[20:29] <jrib> ActionParsnip: that's another option, but he can just edit the grub line and add init=/bin/bash which is probably easier
[20:29] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: lol
[20:29] <zatan> VCoolio,  yeah its a little bit rubbish with ctrl+tab its time to learn some python language ;)
[20:29] <Genevieve> when I try to install it through terminal, it says file not found
[20:29] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: you guys and your anti root/user mode
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: jrib knows some jiggery pokery. I recommend using liveCd and chrooting
[20:30] <brad_> brad
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> jrib: you take it then dude :)
[20:30] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: what single user its easy enugh to fix up a lost password
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: its smart
[20:30] <dax2112rush> ActionParsnip: yeah well I don't really want to destroy it, some stupid mistake I guess
[20:30] <jrib> Genevieve: you have some directory on your usb drive acting as a repository?  It's complaining about that
[20:31] <Genevieve> jrib, the computer has no internet access and no ability to connect to a wired connection, so i downloaded the repository onto a usb and it was working up until this fakeroot issue
[20:32] <jrib> Genevieve: you run "sudo apt-get update"?  Is it mounted?
[20:32] <anygivenname> how do I check status of LogWatch ?
[20:32] <karthick87> How to Connect Online - Using Dial up Connection Modem.
[20:32] <Genevieve> jrib, i ran sudo apt-get update
[20:32] <EM64T> Hi. I want to unisntall freeglut to install it from sources, but aptitude wants to uninstall 6 packages with it, including tuxcart (...). Can I uninstall only freeglut?
[20:32] <Genevieve> jrib, mounted?
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> !dialup | karthick87
[20:32] <Genevieve> jrib, i'm pretty new to all of this
[20:32] <julie2> is anyone good with startup problems
[20:32] <jrib> Genevieve: any errors/warnings in the output of "sudo apt-get update"?
[20:32] <julie2> and grub?
[20:33] <jrib> julie2: just ask your actual question
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: you'll learn. You have a lot of work ahead
[20:33] <gogeta> karthick87: you need the drivers for your modem but the wvdial and gtk dial are on the cd
[20:33] <julie2> my ubuntu doesn't boot
[20:33] <dax2112rush> ActionParsnip: learning is fun :)
[20:33] <jrib> !details | julie2
[20:33] <julie2> just stays on the black screen with the _
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> dax2112rush: the sooner you forget root and stick to sudo, the easier life is
[20:33] <julie2> and there is no grub screen anymore
[20:33] <jrib> julie2: use a single line to describe your problem please.  And include logs in a pastebin
[20:33] <Genevieve> jrib, i get a lot of "failed to fetch" messages during apt-get update
[20:34] <jrib> Genevieve: is it possible to pastebin it?
[20:34] <dax2112rush> ActionParsnip: I never use root to be honest, It seems I may have once, but can't remember it
[20:34] <Genevieve> jrib, i don't know what pastebin means
[20:34] <jrib> !pastebin | Genevieve
[20:34] <logankoester> Anyone know of a good solution for blocking websites during certain hours (just for my own workstation)?
[20:34] <logankoester> slashdot during work hours has gotta go
[20:34] <karthick87> gogeta: are wvdial and gtk dial are installed by default?
[20:35] <Genevieve> jrib, its on a different computer
[20:35] <gogeta> karthick87: not anymore but they are on the cd
[20:35] <jrib> logankoester: yeah, self-control :P  You'll disable it anyway when you want to visit the site
[20:35] <gogeta> karthick87: in the var/pool dir
[20:35] <jrib> Genevieve: you can transfer it to this one.  Or type the first warning, maybe that will be enough
[20:36] <julie2> I have a problem with booting ubuntu. I have version 9.10. When I start up I just get the black screen with the _. The grub screen doesn't show up anymore.
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> julie2: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[20:36] <logankoester> jrib: I tried that already hehe. I won't disable it as long as it takes a few extra steps than punching in a url on impulse during compiles and such
[20:36] <anygivenname> how do I check status of an app?
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> anygivenname: in what sense?
[20:36] <jrib> logankoester: there's probably a better way, but you could just use /etc/hosts
[20:36] <Genevieve> ign file: maverick release.gpg
[20:36] <gogeta> karthick87: you need wvdial but the gtk is the gui
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> anygivenname: you can see if its running using: ps -ef|less
[20:37] <Genevieve> jrib, there's a lot of ign file both from the drive and the usb
[20:37] <gogeta> karthick87: and a driver for said modem the guid shows you how to find the modem type and nedded driver
[20:37] <logankoester> jrib: yeah, /etc/hosts + a cron script would work i suppose. I bet there's a packaged solution out there somewhere
[20:37] <Genevieve> jrib, most of the cannot fetch are from the web
[20:37] <logankoester> thanks anyway
[20:37] <anygivenname> less then app name ?
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> anygivenname: apt-cache policy packagename ,will say if it's installed
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> anygivenname: no, just less. You can review all processes
[20:38] <jrib> logankoester: only hint I can give is that I know the ubuntu christian edition had some sort of site blocking enabled by default so you can see what they use
[20:38] <Genevieve> jrib, several of the messages are ign file: /media/PENDRIVE....... Translation-en_ and Translation-en_US
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> anygivenname: you can use:  ps -ef|grep name ,to filter the output instead too
[20:38] <logankoester> LOL there's a christian edition?
[20:38] <jrib> Genevieve: copy the file over and pastebin
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> logankoester: yep, unofficial and has a bible in it and some christian theming
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> logankoester: there a. Satanic version too, same nonsense
[20:39] <logankoester> That makes me angry for some reason
[20:39] <dax2112rush> jrib: system boots up completely using what is described in LostPassword. Boot cmd uses initrd, I wonder if that's what is prevents init from being used
[20:39] <gogeta> logankoester: well i knoe how to blacklist urls in said firewall but only durnin serten times in a new one
[20:39] <gogeta> is
[20:39] <jrib> dax2112rush: I have no clue what you said
[20:40] <logankoester> gogeta, jrib: http://projects.gnome.org/nanny/ this might work
[20:40] <gogeta> logankoester: of course being slashdot readers they all are probly smart enough to get around it
[20:40] <dax2112rush> jrib: Well it just didn't give me a root shell
[20:40] <dax2112rush> jrib: that init=/bin/bash kernel flag
[20:40] <anygivenname> ActionParsnip: I had everything runnung...I used clonezilla to move the old HDD as is to the new PC.....I need to chek the status of LogWatch cause it has not send e daily mail as usual
[20:40] <jrib> dax2112rush: yes?
[20:40] <logankoester> gogeta: Well yeah, its really just me. I'm smart enough to get around it, I just want to make it a little harder to get distracted you know?
[20:40] <logankoester> If I have to mess around with a config file to get to /., I'll remember I'm supposed to be working in the process
[20:41] <jrib> logankoester: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DansGuardian is what ubuntu ce uses apparently
[20:41] <logankoester> at least, that's my hope :)
[20:41] <gogeta> dax2112rush: you should just be able to set runlevel 1 on grub to get to single user mode
[20:41] <logankoester> ahh yeah I've heard of that
[20:41] <logankoester> That looks good
[20:41] <logankoester> thanks
[20:41] <dax2112rush> gogeta: how should I be able to do that?
[20:42] <EM64T> Hi. I want to unisntall freeglut to install it from sources,  but aptitude wants to uninstall 6 packages with it, including  tuxcart (...). Can I uninstall only freeglut?
[20:42] <jrib> dax2112rush: you'll get a root prompt after you boot with init=/bin/bash
[20:42] <gogeta> dax2112rush: just add init 1 ro the grub line using edit
[20:42] <gogeta> init 1
[20:42] <gogeta> then hit enter and boot
[20:43] <dax2112rush> jrib, gogeta: oh I made a mistake entered it after initrd, thought it was the same line the way lines wrapped
[20:43] <gogeta> dax2112rush: just add it to the end of the kernel line
[20:43] <gogeta> dax2112rush: init 1
[20:43] <gogeta> dax2112rush: same thing as the other guy is trying todo
[20:43] <Genevieve> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/528901/
[20:44] <gogeta> dax2112rush: init 1 = single user
[20:44] <psusi> for single user mode you want to add s or 1 to the command line, not init=... this is what the rescue mode option does
[20:44] <jrib> Genevieve: disable the online repositories since it doesn't have internet access.  After you do that, run the command again.  Now, what is in /media/PENDRIVE?
[20:45] <Genevieve> jrib, pendrive contains the install for ubuntu 10.10 netboot edition, plus the repositories I downloaded
[20:45] <carlo> ciao
[20:45] <jrib> Genevieve: this is not my question
[20:45] <gogeta> psusi: runlevel 1 is single user mode
[20:46] <gogeta> psusi: ii think recuse uses 2
[20:46] <jacruth> hi guys
[20:46] <jrib> gogeta, psusi: rescue is "single"
[20:46] <psusi> single, 1, s, -b, all the same thing: single user mode
[20:46] <Commodore64> hi
[20:47] <jacruth> debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process
[20:47] <gogeta> psusi: yep all diffrent ways all the same
[20:47] <jrib> psusi: if that's true, then it won't help dax2112rush.  He should use "init=/bin/bash"
[20:47] <Genevieve> jrib, how do i disable the the online repository?
[20:47] <psusi> jrib: why?
[20:47] <dax2112rush> jrib, gogeta, ActionParsnip: fixed, thanks a lot
[20:47] <jrib> Genevieve: System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[20:47] <gogeta> i win whers my money
[20:47] <jrib> psusi: he does not recall his root password
[20:47] <ndroftheline> hey does anybody know how to switch nautilus' address bar to an actual address bar instead of those buttons
[20:47] <psusi> did he set a root password?
[20:47] <gogeta> jrib: yes but in runlevel 1 you boot into a root bash
[20:47] <jrib> psusi: recovery mode prompts him for one, yes
[20:48] <jacruth> do you know what could I do? debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process
[20:48] <dax2112rush> how could I make sure I don't have a root password now i've got access to sudo again?
[20:48] <psusi> doh... don't do that ;)
[20:48] <EM64T> Hi. I want to unisntall freeglut to install it from sources, but aptitude wants to uninstall 6 packages with it, including tuxcart (...). Can I uninstall only freeglut?
[20:48] <jacruth> but there is not any process using it (lsof or fuser)
[20:48] <jrib> dax2112rush: passwd -l root
[20:48] <gogeta> dax2112rush: you sinply change your passwod from there not remove it
[20:48] <ndroftheline> anybody know how to make the naitulus address bar not use those dumb location buttons and instead show an actual address bar
[20:48] <gogeta> dax2112rush: runlevel 1 shouldent prompt for the old one
[20:49] <glitchnull> how do i add a repository in 10.10?
[20:49] <blakkheim> glitchnull: sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:49] <chesterbang> t
[20:49] <glitchnull> the help docs included are from 9.10
[20:49] <furi> boot keeps failing on me. fails to start open sound system. says "setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". stops then. can access tty's. currently on livecd with filesystem mounted. what should i do?
[20:49] <sjm> glitchnull, did they get rid of "software sources" in 10.10?
[20:49] <dax2112rush> gogeta: i was just curious to see if I had made the mistake and forgot the password or if it was something else
[20:50] <gogeta> dax2112rush: no biggy you change it now all fixed
[20:50] <dax2112rush> gogeta: but then I'll never know for sure :P Yo
[20:50] <Genevieve> jrib, i'm still new to ubuntu, how do i access the system/admin menu?
[20:50] <gogeta> dax2112rush: you will when you reboot and can login
[20:50] <glitchnull> no but, the help docs show the repository list and thats the route from 9.10 i cant find how in 10.10
[20:51] <dax2112rush> gogeta: you're right, I'm fine now
[20:51] <jrib> Genevieve: top left corner should have the Administration Menu
[20:51] <jrib> Genevieve: sorry.   top left corner should have the System Menu
[20:51] <amstan> why do the nvidia drivers fail after a reboot, but after i do gdm start they work just fine? http://pastebin.com/GVwpWcrY
[20:51] <brontoeee> what are some decent apps from 'diagram' and or 'flow-chart' teritory?
[20:52] <blakkheim> Genevieve: is your nick related to VC?
[20:52] <sjm> brontoeee, dia
[20:52] <Genevieve> jrib, when I click on that, it comes up with a menu that has "web, music, photos and videos, games, email and chat, office, files and folders, and get new apps"
[20:52] <brontoeee> sjm, anything else?
[20:52] <jrib> Genevieve: there should be a System menu
[20:52] <sjm> brontoeee, more similar to coreldraw is inkscape
[20:52] <jacruth> how could I open 2 aptitudes at the same time?
[20:52] <sjm> brontoeee, dia is more like visio
[20:53] <gogeta> dax2112rush: lol thers like 3 ways to get in there im old school with runlevel 1
[20:53] <Genevieve> jrib, i'm not finding it
[20:53] <guntbert> jacruth: not possible
[20:53] <sudipta> any .exe file i try to run with wine,it says something about about excutable bit and can not run it.What to do?
[20:53] <gogeta> dax2112rush: pretty mutch all the metheds people where syaing do work
[20:53] <brontoeee> sjm, no, i need specific connected thingies on my screen, inkscape is general purpose vectorial thingy
[20:53] <jrib> Genevieve: just run "gksudo software-properties-gtk" in a terminal then
[20:53] <sjm> brontoeee, then try dia
[20:53] <bodwick> sudipta: right click, properties, set executable bit
[20:54] <jrib> gogeta: are you sure init 1 won't prompt for the root password?
[20:54] <brontoeee> sjm, just did, not really excited
[20:54] <gogeta> jrib: nope it invokes single user
[20:54] <jacruth> do you know any IDS more than Snort?
[20:54] <jrib> gogeta: single /does/ ask for the root password if it is set
[20:54] <gogeta> jrib: never did me
[20:55] <seeker7> how long should a ubuntu load take when it is formating 65gig hard drive
[20:55] <sjm> brontoeee, yep, but that's about all I know.  maybe someone else will chime in.  (though more like "mind mapping" is something like freemind.
where exactly to click?
[20:55] <jrib> gogeta: because you don't have a root password set
[20:55] <bodwick> sudipta: on that exe file
[20:55] <GeamT> hi everybody. I'd like to install Kubuntu 10.10. I have Ubuntu 10.04 and i'd like to try it
[20:55] <gogeta> jrib: ? i did on a osx box i broke into
no i mean there is no such in the property tab
[20:55] <sjm> GeamT, just install the "kubuntu-desktop" package on Ubuntu.
[20:56] <brontoeee> sjm, i need a final graph that can be slaped as pdf to my boss or to a web page, freemind is something i can draw on my handkerchief
[20:56] <jrib> gogeta: don't know about osx, just ubuntu
[20:56] <GeamT> sjm, it won't be Kubuntu 10.10
[20:56] <bodwick> sudipta third tab
[20:56] <GeamT> sjm, KDE 4.5
[20:56] <genni> hello
[20:56] <sjm> GeamT, that should give you all of Kubuntu and you can choose when you log in which "session" you want.
[20:57] <gogeta> jrib: im gonna init 1m netbook just to see
[20:57] <brontoeee> sjm, actually scanned handkerchief may not be a bad idea, at least its not really editable anymore
[20:57] <dax2112rush> jrib: i've run sudo passwd -l root then went in recovery mode and it's still asking for a root password, I guess that's not normal?
[20:57] <genni> Download - Close
[20:57] <sjm> brontoeee, :)
[20:57] <nothingspecial> GeamT: Make a seperate /home partition, create a new aprox 7gig partition, download kubuntu 10.10 and install it
[20:57] <GeamT> sjm, I've got KDE and GNOME but there're some pbls. Sound problems
[20:57] <Genevieve> jrib, so I disabled the online sources, reloaded, and got the errors listed in the pastbin, http://paste.ubuntu.com/528908/
[20:58] <GeamT> display problems...
[20:58] <sjm> GeamT, did you install "kubuntu-desktop"?
[20:58] <jrib> dax2112rush: hmm, weird.  Try: sudo usermod -p '!' root
[20:58] <GeamT> sjm, I installed it.
[20:58] <dax2112rush> jrib: will do and let u know
[20:58] <brontoeee> sjm, downloading yEd now ....
[20:58] <Genevieve> jrib, should I clean up the usb and redo the offline repository?
[20:58] <sjm> GeamT, and you chose that session on login?
[20:58] <jrib> Genevieve: what is in /media/PENDRIVE?  Check, do not tell me what you expect to be there
 What is that disk integrity checking software ubuntu packages by default? It reads SMART and does various tests, as a GTK+ GUI.
[20:58] <GeamT> sjm, yeah
is that Allow executing file as program box?
[20:59] <gogeta> jrib: droped right to root shell
[20:59] <jrib> gogeta: is a root password set?
[20:59] <sjm> GeamT, then I can't help much more (I'm on 10.04 LXDE)
[20:59] <gogeta> jrib: no password
[20:59] <bodwick> sudipta should be it
[20:59] <GeamT> ok thanks
[20:59] <xTheGoat121x> Is anyone in here a netbook-launcher-efl user?
[20:59] <gogeta> jrib: yea i got a su pass
[20:59] <jrib> gogeta: k, good to know
[20:59] <xTheGoat121x> Or better, a netbook-launcher-efl developer?
[21:00] <gogeta> jrib: i had to invoke single not init 1
[21:00] <jrib> xTheGoat121x: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[21:00] <gogeta> jrib: probly a grub 2 thing
but I can not click on it(can not be clicked!)
[21:00] <xTheGoat121x> jrib, yeah, I know, but figured I'd look for someone specific.
[21:00] <GeamT> nothingspecial you said to make a separated /home partition. So I could install Kubuntu 10.10 in that partition ?
[21:00] <gogeta> jrib: brings up a curses menu with drop to root shell as a option
[21:00] <sjm> brontoeee, looks interesting (I hadn't heard of it before).  Let me know in a priv. msg how you like it, if you want.
[21:01] <xTheGoat121x> I'm trying to compile an .edj file to replace the default theme for netbook-launcher-efl and it's failing.
[21:01] <jrib> xTheGoat121x: which is inefficient and you're less likely to get help anyway
[21:01] <ochipara> hi
[21:01] <bodwick> sudipta it's on linux partition and you can write ?
[21:01] <nothingspecial> GeamT: That`s what I do, you don`t install it on the /home partition, you install it on another one
[21:01] <jrib> gogeta: right, if you have a root password set you won't be able to drop to a root shell without knowing.  This was dax2112rush's issue
[21:01] <bodwick> sudipta you have to own that file
[21:01] <brontoeee> sjm, sure, no problem
[21:02] <ochipara> i'm having some problems getting my broadcome card to join an adhoc network
[21:02] <gogeta> jrib: well we all have passwords
[21:02] <Genevieve> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/528910/
[21:02] <jrib> xTheGoat121x: you should say how it's failing (pastebin what you are doing and the output)
[21:02] <gogeta> jrib: and it droped no password
[21:02] <bodwick> sudipta like .. change the ownership .. or set it executable as root
[21:02] <dax2112rush> jrib: last command did let me enter root shell without the password! thanks
[21:02] <jrib> Genevieve: and /media/PENDRIVE/repository/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz exists?  You said this worked before right?
[21:02] <jrib> dax2112rush: cool
[21:03] <Genevieve> jrib, it appeared to work... I made more progress installing the driver than I had previously.
[21:03] <gogeta> dax2112rush: yea single user normaly does
[21:03] <karthick87> What tools do you use to monitor a web server?
[21:03] <nothingspecial> GeamT: Sounds like you have sound and display problems though. Why not ask?
[21:03] <shadow98> i have csync2 installed on my server and it keeps changing process id's as I am trying to kill it..
[21:03] <ochipara> i'm having some wireless networking issue ... could ayone give me a hand?
[21:03] <shadow98> how do i tell what process keep executing csync2 -x
[21:03] <gogeta> dax2112rush: i think the problem sing recovery it mounts read only
[21:03] <gogeta> using
[21:03] <Robinux> hey guys my clock is wrong so how can i sync. it with any w/e server
[21:04] <jrib> shadow98: were you here the other day asking about using csync with inotify?
[21:04] <amstan> why do the nvidia drivers fail after a reboot, but after i do gdm start they work just fine? http://pastebin.com/GVwpWcrY
but permission tab says I am the owner
[21:04] <dax2112rush> gogeta: don't know, I've done it using init=/bin/bash
[21:04] <rooks> Robinux, ntpdate
[21:04] <Robinux> rooks: thanks
[21:04] <funnylookinhat> Is there a way to fix how the window resize corners appear to be only 1px?  It's extremely frustrating to resize windows :)
[21:04] <gogeta> dax2112rush: that single init 1 and abought 3 others all invoke single user
[21:05] <jrib> funnylookinhat: using a different theme help?
[21:05] <rooks> Robinux, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Time Synchronization using NTP
[21:05] <funnylookinhat> jrib: Oh that's related to the theme?  Thanks :)
[21:05] <shadow98> jrib, yes i am..i killed the startup script that runs it..and killed the inotify process
[21:05] <rooks> Robinux, youre welcome :)
[21:05] <jrib> funnylookinhat: that's just my guess
[21:05] <bodwick> sudipta where is that file located? in your home dir ?
[21:05] <Robinux> :)
[21:05] <jrib> shadow98: remember we played with incrontab at some point.  Is that still there?
[21:06] <GeamT> nothingsspecial, it works half the time and the problems are just with kde (I don't use it so much)
[21:06] <dax2112rush> gogeta: I'll try those next time I have problems
[21:06] <gogeta> dax2112rush: well if you dont go forgetting yourpassword again lol
[21:06] <shadow98> jrib, i removed that the day we installed it and removed script from /incron.d
[21:06] <Monotoko> Hiya, does anyone know of anything I can use to moniter server processes? So I know if they have crashed or gone down>
[21:06] <gogeta> dax2112rush: but i think init 1 only world on old grub 1 and grub 2 uses single
[21:06] <dax2112rush> gogeta: yeah, well I'm not still ready to admit that I did, but we'll never know
[21:06] <rooks> Monotoko, ps command?
no
[21:07] <Monotoko> proftpd, apache2, sshd, postfix and mysqld are the important ones....rooks I need it to continually moniter
[21:07] <Monotoko> and notify me if they go down
[21:07] <jrib> Monotoko: maybe monit
but ifcopy it to home it runs
[21:07] <bodwick> sudipta .. you tired running sudo chmod +x FILE.EXE
[21:07] <nothingspecial> GeamT: Did you try just installing kde-minimal and removing all the other stuff, in my experience installing multiple *buntu-desktops can cause conflicts
[21:07] <reassor> cron can monitor things
[21:07] <bodwick> sudipta in the terminal ..
oooh no
[21:07] <shadow98> jrib, csync2 is running at 60 percent cpu at times and is constantly running is why im trying to see if there is something i can run to monitor what is executing it
[21:07] <guntbert> gogeta: when a root password is set 1 and S ask for the password
[21:08] <Monotoko> interesting...thank you
[21:08] <jrib> shadow98: so at this point, have you attempted to reboot without your script in /etc/rc.local (is that how you ended up doing it?)?
[21:08] <deepfinger> how do I open a terminal ?
[21:08] <jrib> !terminal | deepfinger
[21:08] <gogeta> guntbert: strange i broke a few systems people gave me with passwords
[21:08] <rooks> Monotoko, put simple watcher script in cron, that asks sudo service XXX status, and if its other than alive then send mail
[21:08] <gogeta> guntbert: maybe i used binbash
tried but does not help
[21:09] <guntbert> gogeta: guess so, I just tried it in a VM
[21:09] <gogeta> guntbert: i rember on a osx system its like half a paragraf to brake a apssword
[21:09] <BigMao> Hi there, I accidentally just typed rm -rf $HOME (it was a silly mistake).  I realized what I was doing and hit ctrl+C in time, but I'm not sure what damage was done.  Is there a log of recently deleted files or changes to the filesystem that I can look up?
in 10.04 these files run at ease
[21:09] <guntbert> gogeta: :)

[21:10] <rooks> Monotoko,  ooh, havent knew about monit, looks like awesome tool :)
[21:10] <GeamT> nothingspecial, I'd like to have GNOME and KDE. One has advantages that the other doesn't have. GNOME is easy to use and KDE is full.
[21:10] <jrib> BigMao: you have backups?
[21:10] <shadow98> jrib, i ended up using upstart in /etc/init...
[21:10] <shadow98> jrib, i just commented out script and rebooted..ill see what happens now
[21:11] <jrib> shadow98: ah right.  So have you removed that and rebooted?  Your goal is to stop csync from running right?
[21:11] <fs-a> Hi. Can I compile for Other distros without getting an GLIBC_2.11 error when trying to run binaries made on Ubuntu latest with gcc?
[21:11] <reassor> any good replacements for notepad++?
[21:11] <jrib> !editor | reassor
[21:11] <BigMao> jrib, thanks.  I do backup somewhat regularly, but I think I didn't delete very much - I just want to know the names of deleted files
[21:11] <blakkheim> reassor: vim
[21:12] <residentgrey> jrib, what about geany?
[21:12] <shadow98> jrib, yes that was the goal
[21:12] <shadow98> jrib, it is not running now after reboot
[21:12] <Shwaiil> hi ppl
[21:12] <reassor> lol i ment easy ones notthing like vi lol
[21:12] <nothingspecial> GeamT: I don`t dispute that. ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop are full operating systems. You don`t have to install the whole -desktop package to have an alternative desktop environment
[21:12] <shadow98> jrib, how can i kill the inotifywait process and it still execute csync2
[21:12] <Shwaiil> Q: Anyone knows how to share internet on a host ubuntu that has a virtualbox winxp ? Thanks
[21:13] <jrib> shadow98: I don't know
[21:13] <skione> hi I am having trouble setting up DNS, I think I have set right but I am still not able to resolve any hostnames. I am trying to set DNS in resolve.conf
[21:13] <reassor> !code
[21:13] <jrib> Shwaiil: try #vbox
[21:13] <Shwaiil> jrib, been trying, but no reply back, no one in the room maybe
[21:14] <bluethundr> I am trying to run some pgp commands on my ubuntu 10 client.. what package do I need to install so that I can speak pgpk? http://pastebin.ca/1986715
[21:14] <jrib> Shwaiil: last time I tried it "just worked"
[21:14] <jrib> bluethundr: I've always used gpg, is that not an option?
[21:15] <reassor> !html
[21:15] <frxstrem> is it possible to synchronize contacts and calendars between an Android phone (HTC Desire) and Ubuntu?
[21:15] <bluethundr> I like gpg too that's what I usually use.. I'm on assignment right now and they use pgp... I do have pgpgpg installed http://pastebin.ca/1986716
[21:15] <sjm> Shwaiil, how is it not working?
[21:15] <reassor> woot my fedora finished upgrade :P
[21:16] <jrib> bluethundr: I'm not familiar at all with pgp, but pgpk doesn't seem to be provided for it.  Maybe pgpk is pgp with some option?
[21:16] <aglemin> I have a multicast socket with ttl set to 0, using it for local sendto's only.  When the sendto is invoked I see interrupts on the nic that the data would go out if the ttl were non 0.  Anyone have a clue as to why ?
[21:17] <sjm> skione, what do you have set in /etc/resolv.conf?
[21:17] <bluethundr> jrib, hmm.. possible I will check it out
[21:17] <jrib> bluethundr: seems like the only binary it provides is /usr/bin/pgpgpg maybe check man pgpgpg
[21:17] <shadow98> jrib, I found that problem...it was because i was having inotifywait monitor /var/log/apache2 for changes it was constantly executing csync2
[21:17] <skione> I had namerserver then ip of the dns giving to me by my isp I am trying opendns
[21:17] <jrib> shadow98: ah
[21:18] <bluethundr> jrib, on it!! :)
[21:18] <skione> sjm: still no luck
[21:18] <shadow98> jrib, which is a small problem i need to make sure /var/log/apach2/www.domain.com directories get replicated just not the *.log files
[21:18] <skione> sjm: this is normally something that just works I am a little baffeled as to why there is even a problem
[21:18] <sjm> skione, try troubleshooting by querying the nameserver directly:  dig @<ip of nameserver> <domain to lookup>
[21:18] <skione> all I know is I have no resolution at all
[21:19] <reassor> apt-get install bluefish
[21:19] <jrib> shadow98: inotifywait has a --exclude switch
[21:19] <reassor> bah lol wrong window
[21:19] <skione> how do I disable a NIC?
[21:19] <skione> it might be a conflict
[21:19] <shadow98> it does
[21:19] <jrib> reassor: E: could not open lock file...
[21:19] <sjm> skione, sudo ifdown <device>
[21:19] <reassor> lol
[21:19] <fs-a> does anyone Know if it's easily possible to link against an older libc so when compiling with gcc for an older distro it won't give binaries that give a `GLIBC_2.11' not found error?
[21:19] <reassor> got that console sudoed
[21:20] <jrib> reassor: E: solar radiation
[21:20] <sjm> skione, something like:  sudo ifdown eth1
[21:20] <jrib> fs-a: try #gcc maybe
[21:21] <reassor> jrib, E: Faraday cage
[21:21] <jrib> -_-
[21:21] <reassor> ^^
[21:22] <aglemin> I have a multicast socket with ttl set to 0, using it for local sendto's only.  When the sendto is invoked I see interrupts on the nic that the data would go out if the ttl were non 0.  Anyone have a clue as to why ?
[21:22] <reassor> !svn
[21:22] <trebuchet> Just use CVS.
[21:23] <skione> still no go, I am still not getting name resolution. I had this behind a firewall and DNS worked, I moved it outside the firewall and now it doesnt work. I originally wanted to keep both interfaces one connected to the internal subnet and one to the outside world
[21:23] <guntbert> aglemin: I'm not sure if yo are asking the right channel here - try ##networking maybe?
[21:23] <aglemin> okay, thank you
[21:24] <zesoze> hi...Is there any pdf viewer for gnome like okular? I want to highlight some text but I can't find it on evince
[21:24] <GeekyAdam> hey! why cant i choose default width and height of terminal windows anymore???
[21:24] <GeekyAdam> running 10.04
[21:24] <sjm> skione, pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/network/interfaces, output of ifconfig eth0
[21:24] <skione> ok 1 sec
[21:25] <zesoze> I tried adobe acroread but it don't let me use this tools because I don't have "permissions"
[21:25] <rocket16> Is there a good Flv to Mp3 converter for Ubuntu? Sound Converter makes the Mp3, but its having screeching sounds (always), and is hardly nice. And the online flv2mp3 can't be used offline.
[21:25] <skione> although I am using eth1
[21:25] <sjm> skione, ok, eth1, then
[21:25] <goltoof> ffmpeg
[21:25] <ChogyDan> rocket16: maybe uTuberipper
[21:26] <sjm> skione, you can ping your gateway, right?
[21:26] <jimmy_> hola
[21:26] <jimmy_> soy nuevo aki
[21:26] <Genevieve> jrib, i moved everything off of the pendrive, downloaded the packages all over again, included them in the software sources, but its telling me I'm missing all of the "sources" folders and files, additionally, when I try to install fakeroot, i get an error that the folders and file are missing(which they now are)
[21:26] <shadow98> jrib, --exclude *.log  what is posix format cause *.log doesn't work
[21:26] <jimmy_> quiero instalar un editor de video como el sonny vegas
[21:26] <jimmy_> quien me ayuda
[21:27] <sjm> jimmy_, if you prefer spanish:  #ubuntu-es would be better
[21:28] <GeekyAdam> why cant i edit default terminal window width and height?

[21:28] <rocket16> ChogyDan: I googled and found a nice solution, here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=705990 but still, many thanks. :)

[21:28] <goltoof> GeekyAdam,   is it maximized?   rofl
[21:28] <skione> I removed eth0 and now I am working it was a conflict in my settings, thanks sjm et all!
[21:29] <rexho> hi
[21:30] <GeekyAdam> goltoof: no whenever i open a new window its smaller than i prefer. id like to set the default width and height of a window. i used to be able to by right clicking in the terminal window and select profile preferences for default profile and set the default width and height but now i cant.
[21:30] <sjm> skione, glad to hear it.  keep the security patches up to date if it's exposed on the Internet.
[21:32] <goltoof> GeekyAdam,    ic...   i doubt there's an option in terminal FOR terminal to open at certain lh.   i think that'd be a gnome feature to open certain windows at a certain size, and applying that to terminal
[21:32] <goltoof> GeekyAdam,    ie, like when running something from command line specifying the size in the command
[21:33] <GeekyAdam> goltoof: it used to be an option in terminal preferences but now its gone. im surprised no one else has noticed this.
[21:33] <shadow98> what the heck is posix format
[21:33] <goltoof> GeekyAdam,   i noticed A LOT of things missing from 10.10.. haven't gotten around to that one yet  :/
[21:34] <GeekyAdam> goltoof: im on 10.04 still
[21:34] <goltoof> GeekyAdam,  honestly i don't remember that option... was it on a different distro?
[21:34] <evon> is there a way to turn on dual monitor support without installing the NVIDIA driver for my card? I ask because my card is pretty old and the latest version of ubuntu does not seem to support it.  X would not start after installing the nvidia drivers.
[21:34] <guntbert> GeekyAdam: I have that setting in 10.10
[21:34] <dm_> just updated to 10.10 from 9.04 today seems to be jsut fine
[21:34] <GeekyAdam> guntbert: !!!
[21:35] <GeekyAdam> guntbert: screenshot pls or describe where it is cuz i cant find it
[21:35] <sjm> GeekyAdam, if you right-click on the window, you don't have the profile/preferences?
[21:35] <mohadib> whats a good file system for lots of tiny files, i dont need journaling or anything
[21:35] <GeekyAdam> sjm: i do have preferences and the default width/height option was always at the bottom of the general tab but now its gone :(
[21:36] <GeekyAdam> sjm guntbert: screenshot coming
[21:36] <goltoof> guntbert,   where?
[21:36] <guntbert> GeekyAdam: edit/profile prefs, tab "general", towards the bottom, "use custom default size"
[21:37] <sjm> GeekyAdam, Oh, I see.  Yes, I don't have it either...

[21:41] <GeekyAdam> ...time to upgrade
[21:42] <evon> I think it's a geforce 4

[21:45] <sjm> GeekyAdam, you could look to see if it's in backports rather than a complete upgrade
[21:46] <goltoof> is there any interface in 10.10  for adding myself to a windows domain?  there used to be in 10.04.... and why is it that this question seems to get absolutley no attention for 2 days now?
[21:47] <rocket16> Is it possible to add two Mp3s into one from terminal?
[21:47] <sjm> goltoof, you can't say "no attention", I did comment on it (though I couldn't help)  :)
[21:48] <Esigolo> Guys if I update my Kernel to the 2.6.36 it will stop my online update service?

[21:48] <goltoof> sjm,  and thx anyway :)
[21:48] <evon> ikonia: yeah it's a geforce mx 440
[21:48] <sjm> goltoof, do you know the package that it was in in 10.04?

[21:49] <goltoof> sjm,  i suppose i can check..  iwas using likewise-open in 10.04
[21:49] <goltoof> sjm,   now i get an error when i try adding myself
[21:50] <goltoof> thru cli  i mean
[21:50] <ubuntu> Why isn't the Ubuntu kernel just rewritten in google's Go programming language that is C-like?
[21:50] <sjm> goltoof, knowing the package, might help track down what happened.
[21:51] <sjm> rocket16, what do you mean exactly?  just appending one file to another?

[21:53] <moonfrog> ive noticed in maverick, the wipe command is really slow when wiping my internal ide (/dev/sda) but speed is fine with my external usb drives, this was not an issue under lucid
[21:53] <sjm> rocket16, it might work with just a:  cat file1.mp3 file2.mp3 > mergedfile.mp3
[21:54] <moonfrog> i was wondering how i might go about trying to figure out what is causing hte bottleneck

[21:57] <waagbo> Hi. Has anyone successfully installed vmware server 2.0.2 on ubuntu 10.04 server? I've got problems with both the regular install and the raducotescu-vmware-server-linux-2.6.3x-kernel-d30493a script
[21:57] <Firartix> any idea about what might be causing that :( ? i'm not really fond of clicking on stuff blindly.
[21:57] <sjm> waagbo, you might get better answers in #ubuntu-server
[21:57] <moonfrog> where might i get issues with driver related issues
[21:58] <goltoof> ZyboticK9,   how do i get to the gui?
[21:58] <moonfrog> i have no clue why the wipe command would be slow wiping my internal drive, but fast when wiping my external
[21:58] <ry> waagbo, i did earlier this year
[21:58] <moonfrog> its fine in lucid, but maverick introducted the prob
[21:58] <fiorenzo> 7
[21:58] <goltoof> Firartix,    same problem here... good luck
[21:59] <sjm> moonfrog, was it a re-install or upgrade?
[21:59] <moonfrog> im running from cd
[21:59] <moonfrog> its slow on mav, fast on lucid
[21:59] <moonfrog> its slow wiping my internal, but fast wiping external
[22:00] <moonfrog> i have no idea how to figure out what the prob could be
[22:00] <Firartix> goltoof: found it
[22:00] <goltoof> sjn,   what you mean package?  the gui thing ?    for AD either you can use likewise-open or winbind/samba  but neither are working for me
[22:00] <Tweedle> does anyone else use the ATI-IXP chipset???
[22:00] <goltoof> Firartix,     tell me please!
[22:00] <moonfrog> ive already tracked down several other bugs with maverick, this is the last prob im trying to solve
[22:00] <moonfrog> then i will be done
[22:00] <Firartix> goltoof: from what i see here, it's the 'reduce backlight brightness' option in battery menu
[22:00] <adi11> hi all. anyone knows anything about how to fix the usplash and boot window on 10.10?
[22:01] <Firartix> goltoof: when it's enabled.... the screen goes 100% black
[22:01] <goltoof> sjn,   i think the gui thing used likewise but it's not there so yeah
[22:01] <Firartix> for some reason :(
[22:01] <goltoof> Firartix,    :/
[22:01] <adi11> i am havin terribly ugly out of resolution window on ubuntu 10.10
[22:01] <Firartix> so like, you should try unchecking it goltoof
[22:01] <adi11> is there anything i can do about it...?
[22:02] <sjm> goltoof, and likewise-open is installed on 10.10?
[22:02] <Tweedle> adill: try upgrading to ubuntu studio, it fix my video issues quite well
[22:02] <goltoof> Firartix,    i guess diff problem then... when i unplug it says the battery is "critically low"  when it's been charged, and as a power option it suspends when "critically low"
[22:03] <adi11> no thank my pc is very old and i need to more ram to install ubuntu studio
[22:03] <goltoof> Firartix,  so i got two problems... the os automatically thinking my battery is critically low, and getting it to not hibernate when it is critically low
[22:03] <goltoof> sjn,   yes
[22:04] <Tweedle> adill: mine is very old, but it runs much better after the upgrade. when i would change resolutions, it would just show garbage. it doesnt now

[22:07] <adi11> duffyduck  : what is the file that does that
[22:07] <sambagirl> is anyone here using ubuntu with clear or virgin wifi usb adapter?

[22:12] <aclockworkgnome> Hi.  Is there anyone here who has experience with KVM Networking that wouldn't mind chatting for a few?
[22:13] <tcliam_> I am trying to make some changes to php.ini. I make the changes to the file but they aren't updating when I load it. When I run info() it says the file that I update was the loaded configuration file but the changes aren't working.... any ideas? I am using ubuntu 10.04
[22:13] <Big_Potato> Idleone:    Same broken packages
[22:13] <Big_Potato> is there a way to fix those packages ? Maybe with sinaptic ?
[22:14] <histo> matthieu: on a specific mount?
[22:14] <IdleOne> Big_Potato: not sure but I think yoy might end up having to do a clean install. The command apt-get -f install was hopefully going to fix those packages same as synaptic would.
[22:14] <IdleOne> you*
[22:15] <Jordan_U> pwnt: Any luck?
[22:16] <Big_Potato> What if my dpkg is broken somehow? how to fix that ?
[22:16] <IdleOne> Big_Potato: what does sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade  give you?
[22:17] <Big_Potato> apt-get update was fine (with lucid sources)
[22:17] <Big_Potato> but apt-get upgrade: Reading state information... Done
[22:17] <Big_Potato> You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
[22:17] <Big_Potato> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[22:17] <Big_Potato>   gnome-power-manager: Depends: devicekit-power (>= 011) but it is not installable

[22:20] <Sonja> how do i map smb://television/media1/ as a "network drive" in Ubuntu so i can refer to it within an application as if it were a local site?
[22:21] <drizzt_> Sonja, it mounts automatically to ~/.gvfs
[22:21] <velociostrich> anyone know how to use fsck (or some other utility) to check a drive? the drive in question is unformatted (it has no partitions). I tried using the SMART check with the GNOME Disk Utility (palimpsest) but it just hung towards the end and I would like to be sure of any problems the drive has
[22:22] <Sonja> woohoo thanks drizzt
[22:22] <IdleOne> Big_Potato: not sure what else to try. sorry
[22:23] <hudnix> Every time I reboot lately, I have to do ifdown -a; ifup -a before the network will come up. I have a very simple dhcp entry for one interface in /etc/network/interfaces. Any ideas?

[22:41] <imi> hi
[22:41] <imi> how can I disable nepomuk in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[22:42] <duckwars> is there anyway to set permissions on a file while I use scp?
[22:43] <yayo1> imi: If you don't mind me asking what do you use nepomuk for?
[22:44] <goltoof> sounds like a great way to leak personal info to a lot of people
[22:45] <imi> yayo1: as far as I know it's some indexing application... it just came along with one of my packages installed before... but I don't even know how to use its index... so I guess I don't even use it...
[22:46] <imi> I prefer to use grep
[22:46] <yayo1> imi:indexing?  You mean like mySQL?
[22:47] <banker247> yayo1 just google nepomuk and hit the first page
[22:47] <drizzt_> what is the standalone WebDAV client for ubuntu?
[22:47] <imi> yayo1: indexing in the terms of content-search
[22:47] <banker247> its just a development medium
[22:47] <imi> yayo1: I used to have nepomuk+virtuoso since ages.... however I installed mysql last week
[22:48] <banker247> anyone familiar with google voice?
[22:49] <Technoviking> is there anyway the maintence shell (ctrl-d), my box is not reconizing my root password

[22:58] <Gastion> how?
[22:58] <goltoof> Slix`,     easy,  but fresh reinstall is better
[22:58] <Gastion> how to turn off ssh?
[22:58] <histo> Slix`: yes its extremely easy
[22:58] <dax2112rush1> Slix: yes, you can use update-manager --dist-upgrade, worked fine for me
[22:58] <night> ssh what that
[22:58] <histo> !upgrade | Slix`
[22:58] <Slix`> Okay, great.

[23:02] <drizzt_> what is the standalone WebDAV client for ubuntu?
[23:03] <anygivenname> stefg: LogWatch
[23:03] <eurisko> hi everyone i would like to get some advice
[23:03] <eurisko> i am starting to develop a application for a project
[23:03] <imi> reboot. bye ;)
[23:03] <stefg> anygivenname: wrong! LogWatch is for the past, ps or top are for the actual moment :)
[23:03] <goltoof> anygivenname,     is LogWatch a process that's running?    if so, then open a terminal and type "top"   this will show all running processes
[23:03] <eurisko> but i don't what i should use for it
[23:04] <goltoof> anygivenname,     you can also try ps -aux
[23:04] <aarcane> does 10.10 have an OEM install mode ?
[23:04] <eurisko> i need a 3d graphic system, how easy is opengl? is there alternatives?
[23:04] <eurisko> is opengl portable?
[23:04] <duckwars> is there some way to change the permissions on a file while scp'ing?
[23:04] <smw> aarcane, yes it does
[23:04] <MagusOTB> eurisko: if you want it to run in things that aren't windows, no. There's various abstraction layers for openGL though depending on what language you're using
[23:05] <vulcan_hacker> I tried running ubuntu-netboot on two different laptops, one with ati, one with nvidia cards... but both times the interface was hiding the icons... can anyone suggest a fix?
[23:05] <aarcane> eurisko, opengl is portable, it's fairly easy, and the only alternative on a linux system is something like SDL, which is an opengl abstraction layer (read: slower)
[23:05] <anygivenname> I have used clonezilla to move the old HDD to a new HDD on new PC.....want to make sure my apps & services I have set are running as set.....LogWatchdid not send me the daily mail today.....
[23:05] <eurisko> i mean portable, Linux-x86 Linux-arm
[23:05] <smw> aarcane, if you press f4 before booting the installer, you can specify oem mode
[23:06] <aarcane> thank you smw :)
[23:06] <eurisko> so sdl is higher level, opengl ?
[23:06] <vulcan_hacker> ubuntu-netbook*
[23:06] <MagusOTB> aarcane: SDL isn't an openGL abstraction layer, it is an abstraction layer for thigns like opening windows and events. You still use straignt openGL api calls from it, you just map windows and get mouse input and do the un-portable things through SDL
[23:06] <smw> aarcane, you can also install a package on an already installed system to put it in oem mode
[23:06] <goltoof> anygivenname,    ps -aux | grep "LogWatch"
[23:07] <goltoof> anygivenname,    oops
[23:07] <vulcan_hacker> I tried running ubuntu-netbook on two different laptops, one with ati, one with nvidia cards... but both times the interface was hiding the icons... can anyone suggest a fix?
[23:07] <aarcane> smw, what package is that?  I'm just planning on installing on one system and then being able to perform the initial setup on a different system later.
[23:07] <smw> aarcane, oem-config-gtk
[23:07] <anygivenname> goltoof: what is it ?
[23:08] <smw> aarcane, all oem mode does is install that package.
[23:08] <smw> aarcane, I do not believe it does much more.
[23:08] <stefg> !clone | smw
[23:08] <alteregoa> i am looking for a woman to install ubuntu
[23:08] <eurisko> okay just one more boring question i know to program quite well in C, but just for standart shell aplications, never done something with a GUI, if i want to have a GUI with opengl support what am i looking for?
[23:08] <smw> stefg, wrong person
[23:08] <KB1JWQ> alteregoa: ?
[23:08] <MagusOTB> eurisko: if you're only deploying to one OS, then using straight openGL/X11 libaraies is probably the way to go. If you want you rprogram to run on other OSs, you probably want to use SDL
[23:09] <alteregoa> i want to see how they install it
[23:09] <stefg> smw: yeah, sorry ... i meant  aarcane
[23:09] <dalaristmobile> My nic doesn't work in either a live cd or in my ubuntu installation, in my installation I can use 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' to get it working, not in the live cd.  I'm using a Realtek 8112L chipset.  Does Anyone know what might be wrong?
[23:09] <MagusOTB> eurisko: just make sure that whatever libraries you use work on all the architectures you're using
[23:09] <aarcane> alteregoa, same way all of us do.  one click at a time.
[23:09] <area51pilot> !automate
[23:09] <alteregoa> fascinating
[23:09] <goltoof> has somebody else successfully configured 10.10 to join a windows domain?
[23:10] <alteregoa> yes
[23:10] <alteregoa> just configure samba and type the doan
[23:10] <goltoof> somebody here.. in this room
[23:10] <area51pilot> goltoof: joins the domain fine
[23:10] <goltoof> through likewise-open though?
[23:10] <alteregoa> somebody is not on irc
[23:10] <area51pilot> SAMBA
[23:10] <histo> !troll | alteregoa
[23:11] <vulcan_hacker> guys!! anyone can explain why unity fails to show icons properly on some systems?
[23:11] <fcn> I have  a Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) which currently uses wl driver. I want use b43 driver instead. Does anyone have any idea how to remove wl driver?
[23:11] <goltoof> what's the diff between likewise-open method and samba method?
[23:11] <goltoof> they are two diff methods for joining windows domain, correct?
[23:12] <scarra3> whats the difference between fedora and ubuntu
[23:12] <MagusOTB> scarra3: A fedora is a stylish headpiece and ubuntu is an african word or something.
[23:12] <stefg> scarra3: rpm vs. apt :-)
[23:13] <MagusOTB> stefg: rpm vs dpkg, yum vs apt.
[23:13] <bradyxc> in the terminal is there something to use for "this folder" similar to '~' for "desktop folder"?
[23:13] <MagusOTB> if you want to get technical
[23:13] <MagusOTB> bradyxc: ~/Desktop/
[23:13] <scarra3> MagusOTB: Lol its more of I would rather use ubuntu 10.10 but for some reason my touchpad doesnt work but it works in fedora 14
[23:13] <stefg> MagusOTB:  ok, right
[23:13] <eurisko> MagusOTB sorry to bother but how can i check for example there is libgtk for arm?
[23:13] <scarra3> And I really don't want to use fedora
[23:13] <vulcan_hacker> guys!! anyone can explain why unity fails to show icons properly on some systems?
[23:14] <MagusOTB> eurisko: Check the project's website, they usually will say what archs it compiles on. I'm not sure, I have never developed for anything but x86, so I'm not really sure
[23:15] <lynx_> or for that matter, python-gtk
[23:15] <lynx_> or for that matter, python-gtk
[23:15] <lynx_> or for that matter, python-gtk
[23:15] <FloodBot4> lynx_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:15] <MagusOTB> bradyxc: wait, do you mean like a shortcut for
[23:15] <MagusOTB> the folder you're in?
[23:15] <bradyxc> yes
[23:15] <MagusOTB> bradyxc: that's .
[23:15] <bradyxc> alright thank you
[23:15] <glitchd> can someone please help me disable the touchpad while im typing?? this is driving me nuts
[23:16] <vulcan_hacker> I tried running ubuntu-netbook on two different laptops, one with ati, one with nvidia cards... but both times the interface was hiding the icons... can anyone suggest a fix?
[23:16] <glitchd> anybody even know how to do it?
[23:16] <stefg> !synaptics
[23:16] <eurisko> disable the touchpad?
[23:17] <DanaG> say, if I have a system with a failing hard drive, how can I get the thing to boot a livecd, instead of blocking on trying to enumerate the device?
[23:17] <glitchd> i dont want to have to manually disable it every time
[23:17] <goltoof> DanaG,    change bios to boot from usb
[23:17] <aarcane> DanaG, if it's sata, unplug the data cable until it's booted, then plug it back in to do data recovery.
[23:17] <eurisko> plug it after boot
[23:17] <goltoof> DanaG,    or cd, in your case
[23:17] <eurisko> it's hot swap
[23:18] <aarcane> DanaG, if it's old PATA, you need an external USB chassis.
[23:18] <xangua> glitchd: system>preferences>mouse¿
[23:18] <anygivenname> what is the command line to know the status of LogWatch?
[23:18] <aarcane> vulcan_hacker, if your display is too small, there is no fix.
[23:18] <DanaG> aarcane: I don't need the data, but I DO need to be able to read the SMART attributes.
[23:19] <aarcane> DanaG, then it depends on if it's sata or pata.  sata is hot swappable, so you can just plug it in once the livecd is booted.
[23:19] <glitchd> xangua, thats checked but it still moves and clicks the mouse while im typing
[23:19] <glitchd> theres something in xorg that i change or put it to make to work correctly
[23:19] <stefg> DanaG: might be a case for a specialized rescue distro light pmagic or sysrescd
[23:19] <vulcan_hacker> thanks for responding, i mean the icons are invisible (think display glitch)... the display size is 11" and 14" respectively...

[23:20] <aarcane> vulcan_hacker, could be a bad download.  delete your existing iso, download it again, and create a new burnt CD or USB drive to try again.
[23:20] <anygivenname> does this mean it is running or not ?
[23:21] <vulcan_hacker> aarcane, i tried separate packages... one from iso, one from apt
[23:21] <stefg> anygivenname: that only say you grep'd for LogWatch
[23:22] <goltoof> anygivenname,     ps -aux |more
[23:22] <aarcane> vulcan_hacker, now you've lost me completely.  how are you using packages to install UNR on a netbook ?
[23:22] <goltoof> anygivenname,    will list all your processes,  if it's in there, then it's running
[23:22] <vulcan_hacker> aarcane, it seems like compiz problems i used to have 2 years ago... do you think unity is stable on most hardware?
[23:22] <stefg> anygivenname: try htop if you want a friendlier (console) interface
[23:22] <stefg> !info htop
[23:23] <xangua> vulcan_hacker: unity does not use compiz...still
[23:23] <drizzt_> what is the standalone WebDAV client for ubuntu??
[23:23] <Monotoko> where can I report a bug with the website?
[23:23] <xangua> vulcan_hacker: well unity is recently, you can always use the normal desktop
[23:23] <Monotoko> rather than Ubuntu itself
[23:23] <drizzt_> Monotoko, Launchpad itself
[23:23] <maco> Monotoko: i think its launchpad.net/ubuntu-website
[23:24] <vulcan_hacker> aarcane, i installed ubuntu... then did apt-get install ubuntu-netbook... i know it does not use compiz
[23:24] <hiexpo> lots of launchpad sites
[23:24] <anygivenname> stefg: sudo service status works for others but not LogWatch
[23:25] <vulcan_hacker> aarcane, yes i know... i am using gnome now... but just was wondering if unity broken or my systems are odd
[23:25] <ZykoticK9> Monotoko, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content
[23:25] <aarcane> vulcan_hacker, why didn't you use the netbook installer ?
[23:26] <vulcan_hacker> aarcane, what is netbook installer? the ubuntu netbook iso? by the way... kubuntu netbook works fine on my systems
[23:27] <delac> can anyone tell me where I might found the original buttons for the Emeralds default theme "beryl red"? For some reason the close, maximize and minize buttons are all grey, but the theme screenshot shows that they should be colored.
[23:27] <ZykoticK9> goltoof, FYI it's "ps aux" if you look at the top of your "ps -aux" you will see an error about the "-"
[23:27] <ZykoticK9> goltoof, i used to use -aux all the time until someone pointed it out to me
[23:27] <goltoof> ZykoticK9,   noted
[23:27] <afi> Anyone know how to run the aalib in mplayer? eg mplayer -vo aa *avi.. The aalib does not show up when I run mplayer -vo help, what package is it in?
[23:28] <aarcane> yes vulcan_hacker, the netbook iso.
[23:28] <goltoof> ZykoticK9,   it's logical  to use  -     as it is in most things
[23:28] <Nat_> hello!

[23:28] <goltoof> !anyone | afi
[23:29] <afi> goltoof: the ps aux is an old written style, it's more of a nostalgic reason it's that sort.
[23:29] <goltoof> Nat_,      virtualize instead... or use open office
[23:29] <afi> goltoof: well, do you have a bad day? :-)
[23:29] <Nat_> goltoof, unfortunately i really need office for the university
[23:29] <goltoof> well.... still haven't solved my problem so, yeah  :(
[23:29] <vulcan_hacker> i tried that on the nvidia system... it says something like card driver could not start unity or something
[23:29] <ZykoticK9> afi, - verify that you have libaa1 installed "apt-cache policy libaa1" will show if it's installed or not.  my mplayer has aa as an output!?
[23:30] <aarcane> goltoof, ZykoticK9, ps -ef is also proper and provides enough information.
[23:30] <drizzt_> i need an ubuntu program to put wiles to webserver, any suggestions?
[23:30] <goltoof> Nat_,   virtualizing windows for that is better, unless you like solving unecessary problems
[23:30] <afi> ZykoticK9: libaa1 is installed unfortunately
[23:30] <smw> drizzt_, ftp?
[23:30] <smw> !ftp | drizzt_
[23:30] <Nat_> goltoof, i'd prefer to avoid windows
[23:31] <drizzt_> _WEB_ site, not FTP, by DAV
[23:31] <aarcane> drizzt_, scp is good, or rsync, or filezilla are all good.
[23:31] <ZykoticK9> afi, sorry don't know what ties it into mplayer then.  good luck.
[23:31] <goltoof> aarcane,    ps -ef   or ps ef   ? :)
[23:31] <afi> and I've searched with apt-file (and Google of course) to see if there's any mplayer+extra codec packages that are relevant
[23:31] <afi> ZykoticK9: thanks, are you running the latest ubuntu btw?
[23:31] <hiexpo> vulcan_hacker, probally better if you pastebin the full output if you want proper help knowone here is mind readers
[23:31] <ZykoticK9> afi, yes
[23:31] <smw> drizzt_, ok, webdav. Just navigate to the site with nautilus
[23:31] <aarcane> goltoof, ZykoticK9, yes, it is ps (dash)ef.  ps (without the dash)ef is different.
[23:32] <drizzt_> smw, i have no nautilus, i need standalone thing
[23:32] <smw> drizzt_, it comes with ubuntu...
[23:32] <Nat_> another thing, is it possible to installa kde on ubuntu ?
[23:32] <goltoof> aarcane,   what's the diff anyway?   root vs user?
[23:32] <smw> Nat_, yes
[23:32] <hiexpo> Nat_, yes
[23:32] <Nat_> how ?
[23:32] <stefg> !kde
[23:32] <aarcane> goltoof, not sure, I just always use ps -ef when I need to know all my processes.
[23:32] <hiexpo> just log in kde
[23:32] <goltoof> smw,   fyi, that last bug fix didn't work
[23:33] <afi> ZykoticK9: maybe it's a difference in the mplayer packages then. aalib maybe is compiled --with nowadays, I still run karmic.
[23:33] <smw> goltoof, what bug fix?
[23:33] <goltoof> smw,   the link you sent me, likewise-open bug
[23:33] <Nat_> doesn't work!
[23:33] <vulcan_hacker> hiexpo, aarcane, i understand... thanks for replying... i just wanted to find out if problems with unity is common... seems like its not... thanks anyway
[23:34] <smw> goltoof, are you sure I sent it? when?
[23:34] <aarcane> vulcan_hacker, sorry we couldn't be more helpful.
[23:34] <Nat_> smw, hiexpo doesn't work
[23:34] <deploy> If ifconfig lists an "inet6 addr" does that mean Im using ipv6? Trying to figure out why my ubuntu machin is slower than christmas.
[23:34] <goltoof> smw, yeah... idk, like an hour or so ago.... needed to reboot, yadi yada
[23:35] <smw> Nat_, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop did not work?
[23:35] <Nat_> no, didnt work
[23:35] <smw> Nat_, how could it have "not worked"
[23:35] <hiexpo> Nat_, i use gnome and flux but seen it in loggin but still useing 9.10
[23:35] <Man-machine> hi all. Hopefully not so dumb question: if I delete a mount point (where a Samba share is mounted), will its (remote) content got deleted?
[23:35] <Nat_> doesn't work
[23:36] <smw> Man-machine, yes
[23:36] <Nat_> the output is a list of dependence
[23:36] <Nat_> the output is a list of dependences
[23:36] <Nat_> not satisfied
[23:36] <pippox> hey is there an alternative to moonlight to view silverlight videos?
[23:36] <goltoof> !repeat | Nat_
[23:36] <smw> Nat_, pastebin it.
[23:36] <goltoof> !flood
[23:37] <delac> where can I find button themes for Emerald? Gnome-look doesn't seem to have dedicated section.
[23:37] <Nat_> i'm doing
[23:37] <mekos> Hi all: when I run programs from the command line I get all kinds of error messages - the programs do run though??
[23:37] <Nat_> http://pastebin.com/wf3KFQFf
[23:37] <histo> mekos: what kind of error messages?
[23:37] <xangua> yes it does dela, 'compiz'
[23:37] <smw> mekos, what error messages?
[23:38] <xangua> delac: *
[23:38] <hd1> is natty narwhal available for early adopters yet?
[23:38] <hiexpo> delac, compiz
[23:38] <aeon-ltd> mekos: problem.......? some bugs are minor and don't affect stability much anyway
[23:38] <stefg> !natty
[23:38] <Man-machine> smw: thanks
[23:38] <mekos> (firefox-bin:2381): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null)
[23:38] <mekos> here's just one
[23:38] <goltoof> can someone please clarify the difference between samba and likewise-open ?   they both are practically the same thing?  is one better than another?
[23:38] <hiexpo> !better
[23:39] <smw> Man-machine, you can unmount a mount-point with umount
[23:39] <Nat_> smw, http://pastebin.com/wf3KFQFf
[23:39] <delac> hiexpo: thanks
[23:39] <hiexpo> yup
[23:39] <smw> Nat_, thanks
[23:39] <goltoof> hiexpo,   are they both the same though?
[23:39] <DanaG> likewise-open sounds like a domain controller to me.
[23:39] <smw> Nat_, I can not read this language :-\
[23:40] <Sonja> is there a list of common linux apps sorted by popularity?
[23:40] <lynx> Anyone here?
[23:40] <Nat_> smw, i know
[23:40] <Sonja> "popularity" is sometimes one way to answer the "best" question
[23:40] <lynx> How do I use gameconqueror.py
[23:40] <Nat_> ahahahahah
[23:40] <lynx> without getting the requires error message
[23:40] <histo> Sonja: in the software center I believe you can show apps by ranking
[23:40] <Nat_> just say: it's not going to be installed
[23:40] <vulcan_hacker> mekos, you run firefox from the command line... these errors are from there... it should not show up in a new commandline tab or window
[23:40] <Sonja> could that be added to the !best answer ?
[23:40] <mekos>  Here's another error I get: (firefox-bin:2381): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance
[23:40] <goltoof> wow it would be SO nice to get an answer.... been at this all day
[23:41] <smw> Nat_, I am not sure why :-\
[23:41] <Guest24105> Hey, I'm trying to run gameconqueror and scanmem, and it says File "/usr/local/share/gameconqueror/GameConqueror.py", line 114, in __init__ self.builder.add_from_file("/usr/local/share/gameconqueror/GameConqueror.xml")
[23:41] <Guest24105> gobject.GError: Unhandled tag: 'requires'
[23:41] <xangua> !patience | goltoof
[23:41] <hiexpo> lynx have you installed it
[23:41] <Guest24105> yes,. I have
[23:41] <rallias> how do I take a specific file from a tarball (say file.tar.gz/libwhat.so.1.4) and output it to the screen?
[23:41] <smw> Nat_, are you able to have it print in english? :-\
[23:41] <Guest24105> I also tried installing gameconqueror-1.2.tar.gz from sourceforge, but that created some sort of executable that opened scanmem, it didn't open the frontend
[23:41] <goltoof> xangua..... i've been working on this for two days....  if you know me you should know i'm not the least patient either
[23:41] <smw> anyone know how to make the terminal switch to english? some env var perhaps?
[23:41] <vulcan_hacker> mekos, its normal ... if i understood you case alrigt...
[23:42] <Guest24105> really, the makefile didn't work so I had to copy each individual file to the appropriate directories
[23:42] <rallias> smw: my best guess is LANG = EN-US
[23:42] <lynx_-> really, the makefile didn't work so I had to copy each individual file to the appropriate directories
[23:42] <lynx_-> without getting the requires error message
[23:42] <lynx_-> How do I use gameconqueror.py
[23:42] <mekos> vulcan_hacker: ok, - thanks
[23:43] <mekos> vulcan_hacker: the program do run ok - just wondering about the messages...
[23:43] <hiexpo> lynx_-, please don't flood our channel
[23:43] <lynx_-> I'm not
[23:43] <hiexpo> lynx_-, have you installed the pythom scipt ?
[23:43] <lynx_-> try
[23:44] <lynx_-> yes, I have hiexpo
[23:44] <smw> Nat_, LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[23:44] <lynx_-> It says (typing /exec -o here...)
[23:44] <lynx_-> Traceback (most recent call last):

[23:44] <FloodBot4> lynx_-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:44] <ZykoticK9> afi, just to let you know - aa output from mplayer is working in my X session, but isn't displaying correctly (even for ascii) in my virtual terminals (alt-f1tof6 type)
[23:44] <smw> Nat_, sorry, I need to go :-\
[23:44] <GatorAlli> Yo, I have a .jar file (program). To run it, I have to type "java -jar images.jar" in the terminal. How can
[23:44] <vulcan_hacker> mekos, yes... say like you run gedit from commandline... then when u keep using the commandline session... u will keep getting errors from gedit on that commandline... its normal... glad i could help
[23:44] <hiexpo> ./gameconqueror.py
[23:44] <lynx--_> ok
[23:44] <WACOMalt> Hiyo folks. Is this a good place to ask about some issues I am having with my midi keyboard in ubuntu studio?
[23:44] <Nat_> smw, thanks
[23:44] <smw> Nat_, maybe someone else can help
[23:45] <lynx--_> anyway, the website of the program is http://code.google.com/p/scanmem/
[23:45] <smw> that command should work
[23:45] <GatorAlli> Yo, I have a .jar file (program). To run it, I have to type "java -jar images.jar" in the terminal. How can I make it an executable where I can run it like "./images"?
[23:45] <lynx--_> instead of opening a GUI GTK frontend, it simply gives me that requires error message
[23:45] <lynx--_> now the scanmem I downloaded has a gui directory, with the python scripts
[23:45] <romann> hey friends, just out of curiosity what is the general consensus on the best linux media player?
[23:45] <l_r> romann, vlc
[23:45] <WACOMalt> hehe concensus
[23:46] <prtylghts> amarok is pretty great :)
[23:46] <romann> as far as library management goes :)
[23:46] <WACOMalt> banshee for library imo
[23:46] <romann> vlc hands down for video, but library management iswhat i'm after
[23:46] <lynx--_> it comes with two files: Makefile.in and Makefile.am... I tried typing make -f Makefile.in/am with both makefiles and it didn't work
[23:46] <RobotCow> GatorAlli, create a script that runs java -jar images and put it in ~/bin
[23:46] <lynx--_> What do I do with these files Makefile.in and Makefile.am
[23:46] <tesh> hi, i've been trying to get my soundcard to work, but no joy yet - had a look through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto but no joy yet
[23:46] <RobotCow> ~/bin automatically gets added to the PATH if it exists says .bash_profile
[23:47] <lynx--_> I need help
[23:47] <hiexpo> GatorAlli, the best thing to do is use Google on that how do i install etc and read directions it will usually tell you to edit the file to make a startup script
[23:47] <lynx--_> when I type make install in the parent directory, it doesn't install
[23:47] <RobotCow> necistas ayudar
[23:47] <GatorAlli> hmm
[23:47] <lynx--_> what do I do?  How do I make it work?
[23:47] <lynx--_> I also tried installing a .deb package with gameconqueror and it gave me the same error message
[23:47] <lynx--_> so it's not like I"m not copying it to the appropriate directories
[23:47] <RobotCow> GatorAlli, make sense?
[23:47] <GatorAlli> They say in Linux, you can make anything an executable
[23:47] <vulcan_hacker> romann, miro is somewhat cool... but boxee is the best for movie tv music collection
[23:48] <RetroGamer> Hi guys...my apt gets stuck at "waiting for headers"
[23:48] <hiexpo> lynx--_, what are you trying to do
[23:48] <vulcan_hacker> romann, boxee.tv
[23:48] <lynx--_> I'm trying to run a frontend python GTK script for scanmem
[23:48] <_jesse_> lynx--_: you should read teh readme for that
[23:48] <lynx--_> I read the README
[23:48] <_jesse_> lynx--_: does it say to type make and make install?
[23:48] <romann> vulcan_hacker: thanks, I'll give that one a go
[23:48] <lynx--_> yes
[23:48] <_jesse_> also Makefile.am requires some other program too I think
[23:48] <tesh> sudo aplay -l ... shows a soundcard, but  aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav fails with 'cannot find card '0'
[23:49] <hiexpo> lynx--_, what kinda file is it a tarball or what ?
[23:49] <RetroGamer> Not sure why....I can ping google from the terminal
[23:49] <lynx--_> yes
[23:49] <_jesse_> lynx--_: yeah it needs automake
[23:49] <RetroGamer> it just crashes
[23:49] <_jesse_> lynx--_: try `automake && make && make install`
[23:49] <lynx--_> wait... I figured out what I was doing wrong...
[23:49] <RobotCow> GatorAlli, echo 'java -jar images.jar' > images && chmod u+x images. then type ./images assuming its in the same directory as the jar, otherwise you are going to have to put in that file the full path to the jar and you may as well create ~/bin and put it in there so you can call images from any directory if you go that route.
[23:49] <hiexpo> sudo makecheck
[23:49] <lynx--_> ok
[23:49] <lynx--_> I typed ./configure --enable-gui && make, then make install as root
[23:50] <lynx--_> it still gives me the same error message
[23:50] <RobotCow> hiexpo, you never call make with sudo!!!!!!!!!!!!
[23:50] <vulcan_hacker> romann, boxee is a modification of XBMC... you can try that too... boxee needs very little configuration... XBMC needs bit more
[23:50] <RobotCow> and if the Makefile defines a check, then its 'make check'
[23:50] <hiexpo> RobotCow, with make install you do
[23:51] <RobotCow> hiexpo, yes, but not make or make check
[23:51] <hiexpo> with make check you do also
[23:51] <RobotCow> fakeroot make install
[23:51] <dalaristmobile> So I have a Realtek NIC that doesn't work on boot, or in a live cd, but if I run /etc/init.d/networking restart it works but only negotiates a 10mbps connection.  Anyone have any ideas of where I should head to get this fixed?
[23:51] <rww> umm. make works fine with sudo. It's just not required.
[23:51] <RetroGamer> no-one can help me with apt?! :S
[23:52] <lynx--_> it still gives me that error message
[23:52] <RobotCow> hiexpo, nonsense. I can compile and make install software on a computer to my /home that i dont have sudo to.
[23:52] <hiexpo> lynx--_, what error
[23:53] <lynx--_> hiexpo: gobject.GError: Unhandled tag: 'requires'
[23:53] <RobotCow> lynx--_, google it to find out what -dev package you are missing
[23:53] <anygivenname> how do I install .tar.gz ?
[23:53] <lynx--_>  normally, i9t would be pygtk, or gnome-python, but I have the latest versions of those installed
[23:53] <RobotCow> anygivenname, look at the README contained in the archive
[23:53] <hiexpo> lynx--_, where you get the file so i can look at it /
[23:53] <lynx--_> .... I suppose I Could use a backend version of python-gtk, the newest version, but I don't think that is going to help
[23:53] <xangua> !compile | anygivenname
[23:54] <lynx--_> http://code.google.com/p/scanmem/
[23:54] <lynx--_> that's where I got it, it comes with scanmem-0.11.tar.gz in the gui directory
[23:54] <VirusTB> anygivenname: tar -zxvf nameof.tar.gz
[23:54] <paddy_> when i use time with -a I get -a option not found, what is wrong?
[23:54] <lynx--_> this is a modified version of scanmem... I don't think scanmem itself is modified, but it comes with the gameconqueror GTK front end
[23:54] <alyas404> II need some linux help...I'm a total linux noob. have done a
