[00:02] <littlegirl> Hey there, I'm having an odd keyboard scrolling problem when I hold down the up or down arrow while scrolling through text in any program at all in Ubuntu 10.04. I made a video of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3RcLlnxmiI and this is the text file used in the video in case anyone wants to try the same thing on their machine and compare: http://pastebin.com/u844XcD8
[00:02] <littlegirl> Oh, and any help would be appreciated. (:
[00:02] <goltoof> KB1JWQ,    liek, what people can see about me... if i can anonymize traffic system wide
[00:02] <goltoof> KB1JWQ,    I'm making no sense am I ?

[00:04] <naasir> hello
[00:04] <joe85> okay so I removed it out of the RAID configuration and it still overwrites the MBR on my RAID. So I guess I'll just not use Ubuntu

[00:06] <liqihong> yes
[00:08] <sarge1221> So does anyone know what is going on with my usb that requires me to reboot ubuntu to get it working?
[00:08] <ghostnik11> hi guys, my sister looks to be having some virus problems in windows 7, i know the worst os to ever be built, i told her about linux and ubuntu and she is all up for it and i want to put ubuntu 10.10 on her hp pavillion dv6 but I want to do a dual boot, the only problem is her windows
[00:09] <ghostnik11> is so messed up i can't even install malware bytes on it and then try to do a factory reset to get her windows back to factory settings
[00:09] <histo> ghostnik11: her windows what?
[00:09] <ghostnik11> histo: windows 7
[00:09] <histo> ghostnik11: isntall dualboot and boot ubuntu then use it to clean the windows driv e of viruses
[00:09] <histo> !dualboot | ghostnik11
[00:09] <ghostnik11> windows 7 with intel core i5
[00:10] <romann> hi, I'm having some freezing issues with ubuntu 10.10. I have 4 gigs of ram and i'm wondring if I need to setup a swap partition?
[00:10] <aeon-ltd> romann: freezing like how?
[00:10] <retfar> sarge1221: post /etc/mtab too plz
[00:10] <ghostnik11> histo: okay but by doing it that way i would have to manually find the viruses
[00:11] <romann> aeon-ltd: it seems to happen while banshee is scanning my hd for music, but my mouse just starts studdering and not even moving at times. my num lock key will even lag
[00:11] <ghostnik11> histo: or can i run a program from linux that can actually go into windows from linux side and clean up like the program malware bytes
[00:11] <KB1JWQ> goltoof: Not even a little bit.
[00:12] <aeon-ltd> romann: run banshee in a terminal to see if errors pop up, btw its good practice to have a swap anyway even if it isn't the root of this problem
[00:12] <sarge1221> retfar: here you go> http://pastebin.com/Qc2xbHCT
[00:12] <littlegirl> Can anyone help with an odd keyboard arrow scroll problem in Ubuntu 10.04 that I made a video of here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3RcLlnxmiI ? It's a subtle slow-down whenever the cursor reaches a full line of text, but it's enough to become seriously annoying when you're a person who edits a lot of text.
[00:12] <romann> ok, i'm sitting in gparted atm, and I'm wondering if there's anything specific I need to do with it. I have linux-swap selected and it's selected as a primary partition. is this correct?
[00:13] <liqihong> #quit
[00:13] <SO|> what type of filesystem should the /boot be?
[00:14] <retfar> sarge1221: no help there niether bummer
[00:14] <aeon-ltd> romann: iirc either is fine
[00:14] <romann> alright, thank you for the help, aeon-ltd
[00:15] <sarge1221> retfar: Okay any clue why the flashdrive can run normally if it starts up when i boot linux but won't start up sometimes?
[00:15] <sort_-R> Got 9mn freeze bug, can't get rid of it I've tried all powersaving shit off, and many more in /etc/init.d, still hanging 10s every 9min... I'm gone trash it all... (including www server, mail server, plone server, and all the stuff I've stupidly spent days to put on it...)
[00:15] <aeon-ltd> romann: btw in my experience if your going to be tinkering with the size, use a swap file instead
[00:15] <romann> I have no idea what to do, but it just completed successfully heh
[00:15] <romann> what that is*
[00:16] <retfar> sarge1221: no sorry
[00:17] <sarge1221> retfar: okay next tiem it works should i post the results of what it looks like when it does work or how should i proceed from here?

[00:19] <skrewler> what would the best way to transfer a 40gb file over an nfs mount be?

[00:20] <aeon-ltd> romann: thats when its freezing?
[00:20] <romann> no it'll go on for a while, that's just from starting up
[00:20] <sort_-R> jrib: Every 9 min the whole system freeze...
[00:20] <sarge1221> retfar: I tried all three suggestions. are any of those three the commands you were requesting?
[00:20] <romann> i can't really do anything once it starts freezing up, can't even launch xkill
[00:20] <sort_-R> jrib: last 10 seconds
[00:20] <sort_-R> jrib: during 10 seconds
[00:20] <jrib> sort_-R: "last 10 seconds"?
[00:20] <jrib> sort_-R: is there a related bug report?
[00:21] <absolutex3> guys and girls... i just want to say i love my modded ubuntu :D
[00:21] <Skaag> I remember a debian package called apt-spy or something of the sorts, which found the fastest repository mirror by performing a series of ping tests
[00:21] <goltoof> absolutex3,   modded..  howso?
[00:21] <alteregoa> i got a problem with domian
[00:21] <Skaag> I can't see that it made its way to Ubuntu - is there some alternative?
[00:21] <aeon-ltd> romann: whats it like when its freezing?
[00:21] <retfar> sarge1221: one moment
[00:21] <sort_-R> jrib: I dunno, I've found various mailist threads about it.
[00:22] <jrib> sort_-R: check bugs.ubuntu.ocm
[00:22] <jrib> erm, com
[00:22] <snakesqzns> uh, did something happen to libdevil-dev today?
[00:22] <JyZyXEL> how do prevent udev from running RUN+='s multiple times?
[00:22] <romann> aeon-ltd: i can't really do anything. whatever program i have open freezes up, my mouse will respond seldom, and I can't open anything via alt+f2 or anything else
[00:22] <histo> ghostnik11: there are programs to do virus scanning
[00:23] <histo> !virus | ghostnik11
[00:23] <JyZyXEL> how do prevent udev from running RUN='s multiple times?
[00:23] <Pilif12p> When i try to ssh into a server, i get "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host". How would i fix that?
[00:23] <aeon-ltd> romann: ok, a swap may fix that, though usually if you don;t have a swap it just dumps it and leaves it in the ram until its unloaded
[00:23] <alteregoa> how many harddisks fit within 18cm? height?
[00:24] <romann> alright that was my first reaction. thanks for the help

[00:24] <alteregoa> absolutex3 please give me your url
[00:24] <retfar> sarge1221: post dmesg not messages
[00:25] <absolutex3> im doing a video for youtube right now im gonna post the link soon
[00:25] <ghostnik11> histo: well right now i got the virus scanning program malware bytes to work on it and after that I will put on ubuntu 10.10 and do a dual boot with her windows 7 then go search for them manually or use a program in linux that can find the viruses on her windows 7
[00:25] <jrib> absolutex3: #ubuntu-offtopic please, not here
[00:26] <sarge1221> retfar: so do less /etc/dmesg
[00:26] <snakesqzns> is there an Update Manager or apt-get log?
[00:26] <retfar> less dmesg
[00:26] <histo> ghostnik11: yeah you can use clam in windows if you follow that antivirus link ubuntu suggested
[00:27] <histo> ghostnik11: sry clam in linux to scan the windows parititon. That didn't make much sense
[00:28] <retfar> sarge1221: or ust dmesg then post all of it

[00:28] <alteregoa> ok
[00:28] <ghostnik11> histo: thanks will definetly do, as soon as this malware bytes program is finished, the only thing i am worried about is that the graphics card is supported and that it does not make my work much harder as i know intel and proprietary drivers are hard to deal with in ubuntu as it was the case for my ibm laptop with intel graphic chipset
[00:28] <Autoclesis> right click...thanks histo
[00:29] <histo> ghostnik11: what type of video card does it have?
[00:29] <Autoclesis> but where do i find the stations to start with
[00:29] <Autoclesis> like they have a million stations on itunes radio
[00:29] <histo> Autoclesis: on the internet.  Like hbr1.com has 3
[00:29] <Autoclesis> i see, so one at a time ?
[00:30] <histo> Autoclesis: they used to have some by default. However, there may be a package to add them i dunno
[00:30] <Autoclesis> okay. thanks again, histo!

[00:45] <jrib> sort_-R: what do you mean by "It isn't related"?  What isn't related?
[00:46] <sort_-R> jrib: I can't find a similar problem in bugs.ubuntu.com
[00:46] <Snakkah> I'm experiencing a VERY slow transfer rate when transferring data from my desktop to a flash drive. This flash drive has Ubuntu 10.10 (minimal install with XFCE) on it and is partitioned as ext2. Is it just the fact that it's an ext2 file system that its having this problem, or something else?
[00:46] <jrib> sort_-R: ok.  Does the problem exist in other Operating Systems?  In other linux distros? In other ubuntu versions?
[00:47] <sort_-R> jrib: Well as far as I can say in same configuration (same kernel) slackware 13 works fine.

[00:51] <Snakkah> Better yet, is there a way to run ext4 without a journal?
[00:52] <jrib> roxdragon: 0 is fine (it doesn't matter really).  This is in case you ever forget your password or your key is compromised somehow

Once i go into ubuntu or win7 my onboard lan no longer works..i am only typing to you because i took a pci nic card from an old computer..any ideas how to fix this?
[00:56] <sort_-R> jrib: I'm in 8.02, Pb exists in 9.10 too... http://serverfault.com/questions/80520/ubuntu-server-9-10-freezes-up-after-10-minutes
[00:56] <sort_-R> I've got a nice test bash script :

[00:56] <sort_-R> ho $?`a == 0a ] ; do sleep 1 ; done ; date >> /datas/dateC ; done
[00:56] <roxdragon> empty line jrib
[00:57] <jrib> sort_-R: those are pretty old releases.  9.10 isn't even supported anymore.  Why don't you try 10.04 or 10.10?
[00:57] <jrib> sort_-R: by the way, I assume you mean "8.04" since there is no 8.02
[00:57] <jrib> roxdragon: weird
[00:57] <sort_-R> Oh yes sorry, 804
[00:57] <chien> thanks c'est noté  jrib.
[00:58] <jrib> roxdragon: did it create the key for you anyway?

[01:00] <roxdragon> jrib, Per favore scegli il motivo della revoca:
[01:00] <roxdragon> 0, 1 2 3 4 ??

[01:03] <sort_-R> jrib: I'm very obstinate, and that's the very first time I got such a problem since I use linux ( ~ 20 years ) ... I'd like to know what is the big SHIT here !
[01:04] <retfar> sarge1221:edit /etc/fstab  use under last line
[01:04] <jrib> sort_-R: knowing whether the problem exists in 10.04 and 10.10 would be helpful for you then
[01:04] <sort_-R> jrib: You mean for you ? Eh.
[01:04] <roxdragon> i have revoke.asc jrib  ^^ print?

[01:05] <jrib> sort_-R: doesn't matter much to me :P  If the problem doesn't exist, then  you know it was fixed and can figure out when.
[01:05] <retfar> sarge1221type what's in the (.)

[01:09] <roxdragon> no jrib i have offuscate :)
[01:10] <sort_-R> qemu ubuntu guest users here ?
[01:10] <jrib> roxdragon: yes, print that then

[01:10] <mmoo9154> sort, I have Ubuntu up on qemu.  Whacha need?
[01:10] <ZykoticK9> sort_-R, you might want to check out VirtualBox instead of qemu (much faster).  If your CPU supports virtualization you might also be interested in KVM (basically qemu but faster as well)
[01:11] <fishcooker> thankyou histo
[01:11] <fishcooker> it works well
[01:11] <sort_-R> ZykoticK9: I speak of kvm-qemu.
[01:12] <ZykoticK9> sort_-R, that makes more sence.  I'd still recommend VBox though.  Good luck man.
[01:12] <mmoo9154> sort_-R: I have Maverick running as guest in kvm-qemu.  What is ytour question?

[01:13] <mmoo9154> Is there a channel for linux/ubuntu networking questions?
[01:13] <ZykoticK9> chien, there is lubuntu which is uses lxde by default, or you could just install lxde on a regular ubuntu install and choose which to use at bootup.
[01:14] <mmoo9154> sort_-R: I have no problems with the init.d scripts.  I've had it up and running for about 2 weeks.

[01:20] <rahsputin> hi. i have a PC in my gardenhouse in Bavaria. I now have a USB-Modem and would like to install wvdial, libusb.. usb-modeswitch... ppp... to it. i would like to download these pakcages and the dependencies for them to a USB-Storage-Stiick and install from it. Is there a tool that downloads the way i am looking for ?

[01:32] <chien> somme programmes..?
[01:32] <allowoverride> i have tried everything like that yes,,, ZykoticK9 but,,, im looking for something to move that window back and attach it, is there hotkey to move a window, or is there something in xml.conf in /apps/ where i can reset its location?
[01:33] <allowoverride> no that doesnt fix it ZykoticK9 the only thing that fixes it, is to put the panel 1 back up on top where i never have it
[01:34] <ZykoticK9> allowoverride, sorry - i have no idea man.  but i can't move my calender at all - it's very locked to my bar (so no idea how you separated it).  best of luck man.
[01:34] <allowoverride> i like to have it at the bottom, with all my other switching icons
[01:34] <retfar> sarge1221: post ur fstab plz

[01:34] <allowoverride> yah really thats the issue, how did i seperate it, which means i could be able to put it back if i could move that window

[01:35] <sarge1221> retfar: it says filename to write.
[01:35] <allowoverride> no
[01:35] <roxdragon> jrib, i sign my key?
[01:35] <allowoverride> i think restarting the desktop and xserver would do that upon rebooting
[01:35] <allowoverride> ;)
[01:35] <retfar> type y then enter
[01:36] <doofy> ahh I found it in proposed..
[01:36] <allowoverride> whats the hotkey to activate a window typically
[01:36] <allowoverride> alt tab i know
[01:36] <retfar> sarge1221type y then enter
[01:36] <allowoverride> but there is a move menu upon hotkeying i remember
[01:36] <sarge1221> retfar: it has Append Prepend Backup File DOS Format Mac Format Get Help Cancel. What do i hit?
[01:36] <ZykoticK9> allowoverride, if i move my top panel to the bottom i get the same issue
[01:36] <allowoverride> those old school commands come in handy sometimes
[01:37] <allowoverride> ok, good ZykoticK9 thats a bug
[01:37] <allowoverride> no other version of ubuntu did that to me
[01:37] <allowoverride> from 8 to 10.04

[01:39] <ZykoticK9> allowoverride, there doesn't "appear" to be a bug about it yet - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alarm-clock-applet you should file one if you have a Launchpad account, "ubuntu-bug clock-applet" i believe would be the command.

[01:46] <person> Hey all, I realize this isn't directly related to ubuntu, but couldn't find any active places to ask. I tried registering a domain name on easydns and in the terms it said that this doesn't guarantee that the name will be secured. I'm not sure what this means exactly, multiple people can register for the same domain name?
[01:46] <Dsbeerf> Hello, someone know a place to generate hosts.allow and hosts.deny ?
[01:46] <allowoverride> i also asked if anyone might know xml
[01:46] <allowoverride> to look into those files
[01:46] <allowoverride> no response
[01:47] <LoganJRuff> person, When you apply for a website name it might already be taken. The domain is letting you know they must check to see if the website name is taken and what they must do to make it available, if they can, for you.
[01:47] <sarge1221> retfar: http://pastebin.com/GZ2fWFuJ

[01:51] <LoganJRuff> chien, this is an english language channel. If you need assistance there are other channels for your language and/or topic.
[01:51] <alex__> so i set up openvpn from the repositories. now i try to connect and it says something about "disable-occ"
[01:51] <alex__> in the client.
[01:51] <chien> ok ok .sorry.
[01:51] <DouweZ> Why are you named dog?
[01:51] <LoganJRuff> alex__, I am sorry, I do not have any experience with that. Did you try in ##linux while you wait here?

[02:01] <alex__> bleh. i thought linux was THE networking OS for these kinds of things
[02:01] <alex__> why is is so freaking hard
[02:01] <R1cochet> is there a way to get git to work
[02:01] <alex__> well besides unix
[02:02] <TeruFSX> alex__ nobody ever said linux was easy
[02:02] <R1cochet> or can i copy all the files and directories from my browser and have that work?
[02:02] <TeruFSX> if they did they were wrong
[02:02] <alex__> no one said it was unfeasible to use it before i stated either :(
[02:02] <alex__> started
[02:02] <pr0xy> Why is Nautilus ugly now?
[02:03] <alex__> there's just too much undefined "look for hours for no solution" kind of bite you in the arse situations
[02:03] <alex__> so no one has ever hosted openvpn and had a windows client connect to it...
[02:03] <TeruFSX> alex__ have you tried openvpn?
[02:03] <TeruFSX> somebody has
[02:03] <alex__> terufsx, i've been trying for nearly 35 hours

[02:05] <linelevel> Hi. Can anyone think of a way to reverse the roles of client and server in a remote desktop connection? I have a situation where the client (me) has full control over his network and router, but the computer whose desktop I want to control is behind a NAT firewall that the desktop owner cannot access.
[02:05] <sarge1221> retfar: yeah i get a sdb1 listing
[02:05] <retfar> sarge1221:good now mount /dev/sdb1
[02:06] <linelevel> In other words, A wants to view B's desktop over some remote desktop protocol. A can open up ports and set up port forwarding, but B cannot.
[02:06] <TeruFSX> alex have you been able to do the opposite
[02:06] <TeruFSX> or rather host from windows?

[02:06] <alex__> i haven't tried that.

[02:08] <Guest84028> thanks terufsx
[02:08] <alex__> i have been able to use windows as a client to connect to vyprvpn but
[02:08] <alex__> setting up my own server has been quite futile and aggravating. i feel homocidal sometimes
[02:08] <pr0xy> Seriously, I updated and all of a sudden Nautilus is, for lack of a better term, ugly as f**k...
[02:08] <fi> can any one help me to advise how to add new font
[02:09] <retfar> sarge1221:oh no
[02:09] <alex__> doing this easy-rsa is like a joke.. "easy" doesn't apply when the docs are wrong/useless and you get undocumented errors that no one knows about except some developer who doesn't care/answer emails
[02:09] <retfar> sarge1221:reinsert the drive and try mounting it again
[02:09] <chien> holding nuts poker..
[02:10] <Muscovy> Is there a way to make apt-get source get the source from a specific repository?
[02:10] <alex__> it's funny. i could probably write my own implementation of el gamal encryption and it would take me less time than googling for openvpn errors
[02:11] <kaizen> alex__ ssh is much less painful than openvpn
[02:11] <alex__> i can tunnel all network traffic via ssh?
[02:11] <fi> pls help
[02:11] <alex__> i heard about some "socks" thing before but i'm new to this
[02:11] <sarge1221> retfar: I tried several times to reconnect and doing sudo mount but still same result.
[02:12] <fi> i m new to linux
[02:12] <alex__> kaizen, how would i use ssh to tunnel traffic/hide original ip?
[02:12] <xangua> fi just double clic on the font you want to install
[02:12] <kaizen> get tunnelier and use port forwarding
[02:12] <kaizen> or socks
[02:12] <sarge1221> retfar: from disk utility it actually lists the flash drive but doesn't offer any information on the drive. Its a weird glitch whatever is causing it.
[02:12] <alex__> ok. i'll look this stuff up.
[02:12] <Stormx2> fi: What's the problem?
[02:12] <fi> thank you xangua
[02:13] <alex__> and be back after 40 hours because I know i'm going to get stuck again and google forever and ever
[02:13] <alex__> advice to channel: remove openvpn from your repository list lol
[02:13] <pr0xy> How do I get Evolution to check my gmail?
[02:13] <TeruFSX> pr0xy follow the instructions listed there
[02:13] <TeruFSX> at gmail
[02:13] <TeruFSX> for generic email clients
[02:14] <xangua> pr0xy: you configure pop or imap on it, the instructions are in gmail itself
[02:14] <fi> xangua pls help me find font pakage for ubuntu
[02:14] <xangua> fi what font¿
[02:14] <xangua> fi aptidude seach ttf ¿¿
[02:14] <ZykoticK9> pr0xy, fyi pop means it will download your mail and delete it from the server (most people probably don't want this).  IMAP doesn't do this.
[02:15] <pipegeek> A question
[02:15] <retfar> sarge1221:yeah odd dmesg said it was sdb1 u also have a problem with networking i would post dmes in the #network to c if u can fix that first
[02:15] <pr0xy> I know, I want it to check my gmail and tell me if there's a new message.
[02:16] <alex__> hrm
[02:16] <retfar> sarge1221:dmesg
[02:16] <alex__> won't ssh be slower than a vpn solution?
[02:16] <pipegeek> Since upgrading to maverick, it appears that kernel-level oss emulation is gone.  There is no longer a /dev/sequencer (or /dev/dsp).  As a result, some very old games have lost their music, and while aoss/padsp work for PCM they don't seem to work for MIDI.
[02:16] <pr0xy> or, moreover, I want to have a gmail notifier in the messaging panel icon.
[02:16] <canthus13> ZykoticK9: POP can be configured to not delete the messages...
[02:16] <pipegeek> What's the best way to restore /dev/sequencer?
[02:16] <alex__> •A sock is a knitted or woven type of hosiery for enclosing the human foot <---- wikipedia hahaha. ok i'll look for the real SOCKS
[02:16] <fi> xangua i am using word openoffice and the pakage has no required fonts... i need atleast al windows type fonts
[02:17] <xangua> pr0xy: then install gmailcheck or gmail-notify
[02:17] <hoho> q
[02:17] <hoho> exit
[02:17] <xangua> fi installing ubuntu-restricted-extras will install windows fonts, don't remember the name of the specific package
[02:18] <root> hola
[02:18] <pikahack> hola
[02:18] <alex__> u die.
[02:18] <xangua> root: 1. this channel is only in english 2. not a good idea conect as root pikahack
[02:18] <ZykoticK9> canthus13, probably true - i remember seeing "don't delete" a long time ago with email clients.  my bad ;)  I just restarted using an email client (evolution) due to the ubuntu notification mail thing in the panel.

[02:19] <graphitemaster> no where in the software center
[02:19] <canthus13> fi: it's a metapackage.  just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras from the command line.
[02:19] <pikahack> blakkheim> pikahack: english please ...no speak
[02:20] <rww> pikahack: language?

[02:20] <chien> restricted -extras merci!
[02:20] <ZykoticK9> canthus13, actually restricted-extras does NOT have dvd support
[02:20] <canthus13> ZykoticK9: Eh? I thought it did... Huh.
[02:20] <xangua> graphitemaster: better try chromium ;)
[02:20] <Blue1> graphitemaster: you can't do a sudo apt-get purge google-chrome
[02:20] <canthus13> Bah. My system has ben set for so long....
[02:20] <canthus13> s/ben/been
[02:20] <ZykoticK9> canthus13, libdvdread4 or libcss2 from medibuntu (both the same really ;)
[02:21] <canthus13> ZykoticK9: Ah. cool. I'll keep that in mind next time I do an install.
[02:21] <chien> paquet medibuntu.!
[02:21] <echo310infantry> where is the start menu?
[02:21] <pipegeek> why was snd-pcm-oss removed from maverick?  Was it removed upstream?
[02:21] <echo310infantry> i cant open my .exe files!
[02:21] <blakkheim> people still use OSS?
[02:21] <canthus13> echo310infantry: There is no start menu.. You have the applications, places, and system menus instead.
[02:21] <Blue1> echo310infantry: usually at the top, with 3 bladed fan
[02:22] <Blue1> echo310infantry: per se, there is NO start menu
[02:22] <rww> ZykoticK9, canthus13: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs => libdvdread4 from Ubuntu's repos, then the install script. Medibuntu is meh.
[02:22] <echo310infantry> well i swear to god if i cant open my porn im gonna flip
[02:22] <rww> so only installing one package is better ;)
[02:22] <xangua> !ops | echo310infantry
[02:22]  * canthus13 smells a troll...
[02:22] <chien> and libre ries..
[02:22] <ZykoticK9> rww, libdvdread4 simply installs the medibuntu css library (without adding the full repo)
[02:22] <rww> ZykoticK9: yes, I did say this :)
[02:22] <doofy> I just set up 3 monitors (vs 1) on an nvidia gfx card. When I open some applications now (virtualbox, mathematica) X crashes and I get logged out. What log would be useful to look at?
[02:22] <niko> !fr | chien
[02:23] <m0rse> suck
[02:23] <SpartanGreen> doofy: there's nothing in the syslog?
[02:23] <m0rse> sssssssssssssssss
[02:23] <ZykoticK9> rww, medibuntu is good for the non-free-codecs package as well ;)
[02:23] <graphitemaster> guys nothing works
[02:23] <psycho23> so I tried spreading the seed of ubuntu by giving 3 cds to a neighbor...and then she said she didn't have enough time to learn a new operating system!  I felt so..I just couldn't help but start crying

[02:24] <valentino_tuga> my isp has a unique dns ip. how do i insert it on the system?
[02:24] <pr0xy> What is the best gmail checker that integrates with the gnome message thing on the panel?
[02:25] <IdleOne> chien: je vais te donner une derniere chance et t'expliquer que dans ce canal nous parlons en englais seulement. Si je vois un autre mot de votre part dans une autre langue. I AM GOING TO BAN YOU FOREVER.
[02:25] <graphitemaster> I cannot remove google chrome browser
[02:25] <canthus13> graphitemaster: Is it google chrome or chromium?
[02:25] <graphitemaster> tried chromium
[02:25] <graphitemaster> tried using it as a keyword to remove the browser
[02:26] <psycho23> valentino_tuga: did the isp give a modem?
[02:26] <canthus13> is it not found, or did it fail?
[02:26] <graphitemaster> not found
[02:26] <doofy> SpartanGreen, I'm not seeing anything
[02:26] <Blue1> graphitemaster: what part of sudo apt-get purge google-chrome   (didnt you get)
[02:26] <chien> you speak french fluetly...
[02:26] <psycho23> Blue1: easy there...
[02:26] <graphitemaster> Blue1, Virtual packages like 'google-chrome' can't be removed
[02:26] <IdleOne> chien: I do.
[02:26] <ZykoticK9> graphitemaster, the chromium package is called chromium-browser and i think google's is google-chrome as Blue1 said.
[02:26] <echo310infantry> go to start  > control panel> programs and settings
[02:26] <echo310infantry> duh

[02:27] <ZykoticK9> graphitemaster, why can't it be removed?
[02:27] <canthus13> echo310infantry: Please quit trolling and go away.
[02:27] <valentino_tuga> psycho23, no. i have a wireless router. the router provides internet, tv and telephone
[02:27] <IdleOne> !guideliens > chien
[02:27] <IdleOne> !guidelines > chien
[02:27] <graphitemaster> ZykoticK9, because the packages google-chrome and cromium-browser do not show up in any program list!
[02:27] <graphitemaster> or in dpkg
[02:27] <graphitemaster> yet it is installed via your package manager!
[02:27] <ZykoticK9> graphitemaster, well from terminal will "sudo apt-get remove google-chrome" work?
[02:28] <graphitemaster> so how do I remove it...
[02:28]  * Blue1 smelss a troll.
[02:28] <graphitemaster> no it does not work
[02:28] <ZykoticK9> !doesntwork | graphitemaster
[02:28] <chien> sorry it very interisting..
[02:28] <graphitemaster> ZykoticK9, you asked me if it worked; i said no it did not that was unacceptable..

[02:30] <canthus13> fi: Do you know how to open up a terminal?
[02:30] <chien> but i'am try to joint french channel..but here ...
[02:30] <LoganJRuff> fi, welcome to Ubuntu and to the world of Linux! Did you look here? -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[02:30] <graphitemaster> ZykoticK9, what.....
[02:30] <fi> ok i opened it
[02:30] <chien> it's cool

[02:30] <graphitemaster> my god.
[02:31] <Blue1> ZykoticK9: sudo apt-get purge google-chrome-stable   The following packages will be REMOVED:   google-chrome-stable*  Q.E.D.
[02:31] <canthus13> fi: type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras   and then hit enter
[02:31] <ZykoticK9> graphitemaster, see Blue1 above
[02:31] <graphitemaster> Blue1, it leaves nothing behind?
[02:31] <canthus13> fi: Enter your password when it asks for it.
[02:31] <fishcookermania> i know how to check integrity of package with md5sum...(if the content is same so the package is ok) but how to get work with asc file like on the firefox package, what should i do?
[02:31] <rchavik> is there a DVD iso for 10.10?
[02:31] <canthus13> fi: then wait. this is gonna take a while.
[02:31] <xangua> rchavik: yes
[02:31] <graphitemaster> Blue1, all browsing history and everything goes, settings, and entries to where ever?
[02:31] <valentino_tuga> with microsoft windows there is is a option that allows me too change tcp ip settings. by default the dns is automaticly defined. but my isp requires me to insert a specific ip. how do i do it in ubuntu?
[02:32] <Blue1> graphitemaster: it might leave conf files, but the binaries are gone.
[02:32] <chien> medibuntu..!
[02:32] <pipegeek> the package "oss-compat" in maverick is broken.
[02:32] <david__> im trying to get a recursive listing of only the directories. I typed  "ls -Rd" that is the only thing i see that would work and all i get is a "."
[02:32] <canthus13> valentino_tuga: Right-click on your networking icon in the top bar, then click edit connections.
[02:32] <ZykoticK9> graphitemaster, if you used a package manager (or deb) for Google Chrome - you can always search through "apt-cache search chrome" to find the name.
[02:32] <graphitemaster> ZykoticK9, i tried, nothing showed up
[02:33] <LoganJRuff> pipegeek, did you report it?
[02:33] <fi> it says its already a new version
[02:34] <canthus13> fi: Already at the current version? Then you should have the ms truetype fonts installed.
[02:34] <valentino_tuga> thanks canthus13
[02:34] <canthus13> valentino_tuga: no prob.
[02:34] <pipegeek> LoganJRuff: I will do that now.  The problem is that the kernel alsa-oss compat layer is not being built for maverick kernels, and all that package does is ensure that those modules are loaded.  Particularly bad since the package description says it's meant to solve the "cannot find /dev/dsp" problem for confused new users....
[02:35] <rchavik> xangua, only through direct downloads? no torrent?
[02:35] <rchavik> xangua, forget it.. found it..
[02:35] <fi> but word openoffice is not all MS word default fonts
[02:37] <rchavik> if i use server edition 10.4 LTS, then upgrades to 10.10. does it mean that i'll lose the LTS status?
[02:37] <bobo> bonjour
[02:37] <bobo> salut
[02:37] <xangua> rchavik: yes
[02:37] <chien> somebody has try frostwire..?
[02:37] <xangua> !fr > bobo
[02:37] <bobo> il y a quelqu'n?
[02:38] <chien> bobo français..?
[02:38] <rchavik> xangua, then for critical systems, the best thing is to stick with 10.4, until the next LTS is released. then upgrade. am i correct?
[02:38] <bobo> there are someone who speak french here?
[02:38] <IdleOne> !fr | bobo
[02:39] <chien> sorry bobo they dont want us..
[02:39] <xangua> rchavik: for critical systems¿¿ no idea what kind of critical situation you have but one of the lts features is that you can directly update to the next lst

[02:56] <ilab> maginot: time-saving. there's no problems with the gui. i just don't need it for my purposes
[02:57] <maginot> if is some problem you could try vga mode, wich is suppose to work since it uses vesa driver for xorg
[02:57] <maginot> ilab, if its time saving you could change the distro and repack, there is a link on ubuntu wiki if you want I could pass to you
[02:57] <ilab> maginot: sure
[02:58] <ShironDrake_> is there a channel for courier?
[02:58] <john38> Can somebody tell me how to fix 1 inch border around splash screen??
[02:59] <geez> Hi all, does the Oracle JDK install on Ubuntu AMD 64 or do I need to use the openjdk. Attempts so far fail to install the JDK. Complains the .bin is a binary file :-(
[02:59] <glen_> Afternoon!
[02:59] <john38> Can somebody tell me how to fix 1 inch border around splash screen??
[03:00] <xangua> !java | geez
[03:00] <maginot> ilab,  see if this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[03:01] <maginot> john38, is this border a problem related to resolution?
[03:01] <maginot> have you addressed that already
[03:01] <ilab> maginot: your sure there isn't a boot option for command line interface on the livecd? I remember back i think it was b4 7.10 there was something like that
[03:01] <john38> maginot, probably it doesnt fill screen
[03:02] <john38> maginot, my resolution is higher than 1280X1024
[03:02] <john38> maginot, ?
[03:02] <maginot> ilab, to be honest I think there were, but I can't test it right now, so I think you may be interested of a custom ubuntu, maybe you could take advantage of custom application and so on
[03:02] <Dwade09> can anyone help me with this post? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10100838#post10100838
[03:02] <ilab> maginot: ok. thanks for the link

[03:03] <john38> maginot, there is black border around loading screen
[03:04] <ruffleS> hi. i have a 'Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY' wifi card and it won't work on maverick 10.10 with the pae kernel. 'additional drivers' wizzard says it can't activate the driver. can anybody help me out with this?
[03:04] <maginot> john38, what is your resolution, native display resolution.
[03:04] <maginot> ?
[03:04] <acalbaza> silly question... i dont see my swap partition mounted, is it safe for me to remove this partition?
[03:04] <john38> maginot, i use nvidia 1920X1080
[03:05] <ShironDrake_> is there a channel for courier? Or am I blind?
[03:05] <MrDudle> acalbaza: no
[03:05] <ruffleS> acalbaza: 'free -m' shows you any swap space?!
[03:05] <MrDudle> you need swap
[03:05] <Scunizi> Using "sudo tasksel" and tagging LAMP then installing I then go to the package manager and search for php.. *none* of the php stuff is installed... what gives?
[03:07] <Scunizi> What php packages do I need to install to complete the LAMP install?
[03:07] <john38> maginot, ?
[03:07] <linelevel> Hi guys. I installed Ubuntu without an active internet connection, and now there's no wireless support. When I right-click the internet icon at the top-right, I see the "Enable Networking" option, but the "Enable Wireless" option is missing. I'm currently wired in to my router (so i DO have internet access), and I've run Update Manager until my system is up to date, but that did nothing. Any suggestions?
[03:08] <ruffleS> hi. i have a 'Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY' wifi card and it won't work on maverick 10.10 with the pae kernel. 'additional drivers' wizzard says it can't activate the driver. can anybody help me out with this?
[03:08] <maginot> john38, I think you border only shows in splash screen right?
[03:08] <acalbaza> so, i noticed that i have two swap paritions... how can i tell which one is in use?
[03:08] <john38> maginot, yes
[03:08] <sayb> i need to find out deleted file on NTFS partition , are there some software good for me ??
[03:09] <maginot> john38, don't seens to be any critical problem, maybe is something related to plymouth and kernel kms driver
[03:09] <john38> maginot, im on 10.10 maverick
[03:09] <maginot> john38, to deep to start investigating right now, since its just an eyecandy
[03:10] <maginot> john38, I would start on logs, dmesg, searching for something on kernel boot process, when it goes trhough KMS driver, and get display information
[03:10] <Scunizi> acalbaza: do a sudo fdisk -l to see all your partitions and how they are allocated.. then do a cat /etc/fstab and compare the two.. the one that is active is the one listed in fstab
[03:11] <Shiron> is there a channel for courier?
[03:11] <john38> maginot, ok
[03:11] <alteregoa> usr courier?
[03:12] <geez> ubottu: yes, i need a JDK. My old netbook i86 had no prob w/ 9.10. I don't know what the Lucid repo is or what is meant by: !partner or !multiverse. :-S
[03:12] <alteregoa> courier hst?
[03:12] <maginot> john38, the change of this little issue be very deep issue is big, we are talking about the earlier steps on boot proccess and plymouth is very beta right now, I'm suffering with it
[03:12] <acalbaza> Scunizi: got it.. thanks
[03:12] <Athrak> line: I didn't think Enable Wireless Connection came up unless it detected a wireless network card, in which case perhaps it didn't find the driver for it :/
[03:12] <Scunizi> acalbaza: np ;)
[03:12] <Shiron> the software software
[03:12] <maginot> john38, anyway, if you want go deep, you can start a BUG report. =)
[03:13] <mmcr> Hi, I would like to adopt a package but I'm a little bit lost. Can someone instruct me how ?
[03:13] <john38> maginot, you checked out this http://internauta2000.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-10-10-Plymouth-Splash-174707078
[03:14] <maginot> john38, ?
[03:14] <sarge1221> Can anyone else help still trying to figure out what is going wrong with my flash drive. Here is the results of a dmesg. http://pastebin.com/M0M8ZsUS
[03:15] <maginot> sarge1221, please paste only relevants parts of the code and not all this iptables kernel log
[03:16] <maginot> sarge1221, you know this is an iptables output,  right?
[03:16] <john38> maginot, could it be that my resolution is too high
[03:16] <maginot> sarge1221, iptables is on kernel, so it is chown in log and dmesg.
[03:16] <maginot> john38, yes, very probably, good if you could test with lower resolution
[03:17] <Shiron> so is there a channel for courier or can somone hlep me pls?
[03:17] <maginot> Shiron, courier imap?
[03:17] <john38> maginot, whats the normal splash resolution??
[03:17] <john38> maginot, 1280X1080
[03:18] <maginot> john38, that the idea of plymouth, it makes the boot start with a native monitor resolution using the kms drive so there is no flickering when gdm (x) starts
[03:18] <Shiron> maginot, yes and pop
[03:18] <john38> maginot, i am not programmer
[03:18] <maginot> Shiron, so no! this is ubuntu channel... I'm pretty sure must have some courier channel....
[03:19] <maginot> Shiron, #courier
[03:19] <Shiron> oh then i was just blind sry
[03:19] <sarge1221> maginot: great so in the process of fixing one problem i have compounded it into a security problem is that what you are trying to tell me?
[03:19] <Scunizi> If my machine recognizes 127.0.0.1 but not localhost.. what file do I edit?
[03:19] <maginot> Shiron, but maybe a email list is better
[03:20] <maginot> Shiron, I receive much more things about courier on the list... the channel looks dead.
[03:20] <ZykoticK9> Scunizi, /etc/hosts
[03:20] <Scunizi> ZykoticK9: thanks
[03:21] <ouyes> hi all
[03:21] <maginot> sarge1221, not exactly. That is the logs of iptables modules, which is on kernel... "[15806.103484] Unknown OutputIN= OUT=eth0 SRC=169.254.8.36 DST=169.254.255.255 LEN=275 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=17500 DPT=17500 LEN=255"
[03:21] <Shiron> maginot, yeah, or i just use another 20h and solve it myself
[03:21] <Scunizi> ZykoticK9: does editing that take effect immediately or do I have to restart networking?
[03:21] <sarge1221> maginot: Okay i am not sure what you mean. Are you saying i need to delete that line out?
[03:21] <ZykoticK9> Scunizi, restart networking i'd imagine, probably a reboot is easiest actually
[03:22] <ZykoticK9> Scunizi, actually, it might be instant
[03:22] <john38> maginot, actually my bios screen has black border around it too any idea on how to take up full screen?
[03:23] <Scunizi> ZykoticK9: sudo service doesn't work for networking.. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart does.
[03:23] <maginot> ZykoticK9, Scunizi just edit and save the file
[03:23] <maginot> nothing more.
[03:23] <john38> maginot, not the bios just the bios splash
[03:23] <ZykoticK9> Scunizi, ya - it works instantly for a host i added (not localhost mind you)
[03:24] <baldpatches> Mint has overwritten my grub2 bootloader menu from Ubuntu
[03:24] <maginot> john38, yes, splash screen is a plymouth problem. not the boot loader splash screen which is grub problem
[03:24] <Scunizi> maginot: done.. 127.0.0.1    localhost .. is listed.. however when I http://localhost/Joomla/  for the installation files the system actually wants to "save" a file.. using 127.0.0.1/Joomla/ however works.. any ideas?
[03:24] <baldpatches> How can I get back the Ubuntu bootloader menu
[03:25] <john38> maginot,  yes but now im talking about bios splash screen any idea on how to fix that???
[03:25] <john38> maginot, maybe off topic
[03:26] <Nattgew> is there a linux program to replace webcam video with an image?
[03:26] <ZykoticK9> john38, i've never heard of a BIOS customizable splash screen, i imagine that would be expensive as a feature
[03:26] <Athrak> You can generally flash any bios to have a 16 color bitmap image
[03:26] <Athrak> However, if you flash it, and break it, your fault :)
[03:26] <maginot> john38, that is something very normal, because many display mantain their default resolution
[03:27] <john38> ZykoticK9, weird isnt it bios splash doesnt take up full screen
[03:27] <john38> maginot, how do i fix that
[03:27] <john38> maginot, or alter it?
[03:27] <maginot> john38, and since bios is 640x480 many things it doesn't fully expand
[03:28] <ouyes> Are there any tools for type English for non-English ubuntu users ?
[03:28] <maginot> john38, search in bios, search in the monitor. If you can't find gave up you will not be able to change that
[03:28] <john38> maginot, im just talking about graphical screen that tells you to hit DEL to Enter Bios
[03:28] <kfsh> hello.
[03:28] <Sonja> can gedit be configured to automatically run a certain command every time a file is saved?
[03:28] <maginot> john38, yes I got that
[03:29] <kfsh> ?
[03:29] <sarge1221> maginot: okay I am getting the post removed
[03:30] <baldpatches> Can anyone fix a grub2 bootloader problem
[03:30] <john38> maginot, maybe its the DVI interface
[03:30] <stephenjudkins> i've enabled all the repositories included in /etc/apt/sources.list, yet I can't install http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/libdbd-oracle-perl, even though it's listed.
[03:30] <stephenjudkins> any idea how to get it installed?
[03:30] <sarge1221> maginot: how do i get terminal to do line numbers so i can go by a specific range? Also maybe some advice on other ways to clean up this mess?
[03:31] <black> baldpatches: what exactly your problem ??
[03:31] <maginot> john38, on that stage of boot only two things are working: The bios and the Monitor hardware itself (the bios use the graphics card, which its hardware too)
[03:31] <black> stephenjudkins: what your error messages when you installed it ??
[03:31] <baldpatches> black mint has replaced my ubuntu boot menu after installing updates
[03:31] <maginot> sarge1221, well, that was from dmesg wasn't ?
[03:32] <stephenjudkins> black: E: Package libdbd-oracle-perl has no installation candidate
[03:32] <stephenjudkins> also, "Package libdbd-oracle-perl is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[03:32] <sarge1221> maginot: yep
[03:32] <black> baldpatches: are you using dual boot with mint and ubuntu ?
[03:32] <maginot> sarge1221, so that is the kernel ring message buffer, it function is to print kernel messages.
[03:33] <maginot> sarge1221, when you reboot that start all over
[03:33] <baldpatches> black: no I have 9 Os
[03:33] <black> stephenjudkinsz: are you want install source packages ??
[03:33] <john38> maginot, i used this to fix weak splash plymouth http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml
[03:34] <black> baldpatches: wow.. it's great have 9 os.. i just 2 os installed
[03:34] <maginot> right now I was going to tell sarge1221 about http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dmesg#Removing_netfilter.2Fiptables_messages
[03:34] <maginot> he quits *arg*
[03:34] <ZykoticK9> baldpatches, to replace your original ubuntu installed grub2 (instead of Mints grub), you need to boot into your ubuntu install and reinstall grub to the MBR, then run update-grub to rescan for available bootable installs (hopefully Ubuntu will see Mint, does mint see ubuntu currently?) - to boot into the OS on your Hard drive you need to do a chroot first - see the !grub2 factoid's link for details.  good luck.
[03:34] <baldpatches> black I updated grub in ubuntu but still get mint boot menu on boot
[03:35] <maginot> john38, did you tried changin mode_option?
[03:35] <ZykoticK9> baldpatches, (most likely) whatever OS/Distro you installed last will be installed on the MBR currently - you need to reinstall ubuntu's grub, before the update-grub will work.
[03:35] <john38> maginot, yeah i did
[03:35] <echo310infantry> poop
[03:36] <john38> maginot, should i set it to desktop resolu
[03:36] <baldpatches> black How
[03:36] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 | baldpatches
[03:37] <baldpatches> black thanks
[03:37] <ZykoticK9> baldpatches, why do all your messages begin with "black"?
[03:37] <black> baldpatches: grub2 on ubuntu placed configuration on grub.cfg under /boot/grub directory
[03:37] <ouyes> hi all , are there any english input tools for non-english spoken people?
[03:37] <john38> maginot, oh i did
[03:37] <echo310infantry> yes its called a interpeter
[03:37] <maginot> john38, well, yes. If you expect to not have any borders you must set the full monitor resolution
[03:37] <maginot> 1920x1080
[03:37] <echo310infantry> they are offered by the UN
[03:37] <black> ZykoticK9: i don't know why ...
[03:37] <john38> maginot, its still border
[03:38] <VSD20C> Running VirtualBox 3.2.8 and a Ubuntu 10.0.4 vm... was working fine and when just booted up got GNOME power manger installed incorrectly contact admin.... any ideas?
[03:38] <VSD20C> won't allow login
[03:38] <ZykoticK9> black, oh, I didn't realize it was a nic...
[03:38] <black> baldpatches: but, not recommended to modify by hand, instead modify configuration file under /etc/grub.d
[03:39] <black> ZykoticK9: but, on my xchat, it was not begin with black..
[03:39] <john38> maginot, should i set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
[03:39] <john38> maginot, to 1920X1080?
[03:40] <black> ZykoticK9: do you know why ... ??
[03:40] <ZykoticK9> black, sorry - why what?
[03:40] <maginot> john38, what is the output of this command: cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes
[03:41] <black> Zykotic9: you say if my messages begin with black...
[03:41] <maginot> john38, use a pastebin site for showing that
[03:41] <dox_drum> Hello. When I installed KILE on Gnome, a lot of KDE libraries were installed as well. How could I remove all of them, and of course any KDE application?
[03:41] <maginot> !pastebin
[03:41] <user> anyone know how  recover filesfrom a corupt maxtor one touch hd
[03:42] <ZykoticK9> black, don't worry about it - it was actually to baldpatches - i didn't realize that "black" was someone's nic (the poster didn't have a , after the nic)
[03:42] <john38> maginot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/529752/
[03:42] <kfsh> hello!
[03:42] <Buttons840> how could i use the find command to find all .jpg and .png ?    i have find / -name "*.png" which works by itself, but i don't know the correct patern format to matchin multiple extnesions
[03:42] <maginot> user, you can try using foremost on it if the driver can't be mounted
[03:42] <black> ZykoticK9: ok..thanks much
[03:42] <Moreliini> user: spinrite is also good
[03:42] <R1cochet> is there a way to grab a git repo if `git clone` is unable to connect?
[03:42] <kfsh> what are you doing now.
[03:42] <user> ok weree do i find those programs
[03:43] <sileni> hey guys
[03:43] <maginot> john38, that are the default resolution of uvesafb module
[03:43] <Moreliini> user: google
[03:43] <john38> maginot, what?
[03:43] <black> sileni: hey..
[03:43] <sileni> i'm using gnome ubuntu and is there anyway i can set the windows key to open up a terminal
[03:44] <sileni> right now all the keyboard shortcuts use it as a modifier it won't let me set that key alone as a function key
[03:44] <sileni> i tried xbindkeys and it is not working either :\
[03:44] <Moreliini> sileni: if you could you'd lose all of it's other modifying behaviors
[03:44] <john38> maginot, what does it mean?
[03:44] <sileni> thats fine
[03:44] <ZykoticK9> sileni, the "super" key as it is know in linux world, is typically used for some stuff already (i don't know if it's a good idea to change that one)
[03:44] <sileni> i don't use windows key for anything else
[03:45] <sileni> wait
[03:45] <sileni> it works
[03:45] <maginot> Buttons840, find <FOLDER> -iname "*.jpg" -o -name "*.gif" -o -name "*.png" -print
[03:45] <sileni> this doesn't make sense
[03:45] <black> sileni: i'm not so much understand it, sorry can't help too much
[03:45] <john38> maginot, should i change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line to 1920X1080
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> sileni, if you run compiz does the super key combo still work?  or did they just break?
[03:46] <maginot> john38, well, you could try. But for what it show on the cat command result will not work.
[03:46] <sileni> what super key combo?
[03:46] <john38> maginot, then i wont
[03:46] <maginot> Buttons840, use -iname or -name for Not Case sensitive and for case sensitive search
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> sileni, super+e is expose, there are many more
[03:47] <Buttons840> maginot: thank you, but i can't find this -o switch on the man page?
[03:47] <jtannenbaum> Ubuntu keeps opening .zip files in Comix
[03:47] <sileni> expose still works
[03:47] <sileni> but it also opens up the terminal as i have set it up to
[03:47] <jtannenbaum> how do I change it besides the "Open with..." dialoh
[03:47] <ZykoticK9> sileni, neat - does it open a terminal too?
[03:47] <jtannenbaum> g
[03:47] <john38> maginot,  what that link did was fix my weak startup screen and weird shutdown info
[03:47] <ZykoticK9> sileni, yup ;)
[03:47] <sileni> but on the newer installs of ubuntu it won't let me setup opening the terminal as just the super key
[03:48] <sileni> it has to be some kind of combination
[03:48] <john38> maginot,  then i just added splash theme
[03:48] <maginot> Buttons840, yes, you can. Its all around in the examples.
[03:48] <ZykoticK9> sileni, that makes sense really - programs expect that key to do something - and you're changing it ;)
[03:48] <john38> maginot,  some kind of problem in 10.10
[03:49] <maginot> john38, maybe. Do you had this working before?
[03:49] <psycho23> who should I hand out ubuntu 10.04 to?
[03:49] <psycho23> bill gates?
[03:49] <ZykoticK9> psycho23, only people that want them ;)  but it's OffTopic for this channel.
[03:50] <maginot> john38, and an important question, are you using proprietary vendor drivers, like for nvidia/ati cards?
[03:50] <john38> maginot, yeah with all my 10.10 machines
[03:50] <john38> maginot,  both computers using Nvidia restricted drivers
[03:51] <dox_drum> How could I remove every KDE library and application from Ubuntu?
[03:51] <aroman> dox_drum, Not sure, but I'd love to know as well.
[03:51] <graphitemaster> dox_drum, apt-get purge kde*
[03:52] <graphitemaster> then apt-get autoclean

[03:55] <Maahes> I'm having 2 really big problems: The laptop I am using is a Gateway MX6426, it has some function keys overlaying uiopjklm.0987 the functions correspond to a 10-key layout. the issue is its using the 10-key layout by default. All 6ther function keys require the fn key to be pressed to enable them, these keys have to be escaped by the fn key

[04:00] <Guest26161> lol
[04:00] <Guest26161> no
[04:00] <Dwade09> psycho23,  http://pastebin.com/EsFbmBrT
[04:00] <Maahes> I had used an earlier ubuntu on this machine, and the trackpad was still an issue but not the function keys
[04:00] <lapion> Maahes, how is the tarckpad connected to the system ?
[04:00] <Maahes> add5t56na33y th5s 5s what 5t 3662s 352e 5f 5 d6n't esca*e 2eys
[04:01] <Dwade09> psycho23, http://pastebin.com/1khHE8MT
[04:01] <lapion> maahes turn off the numlock function
[04:01] <Maahes> lapion: its embedded in the laptop chassis
[04:02] <Guest26161> zed thhe iso you have should work fine...
[04:02] <zed_> cheers Guest26161
[04:02] <Maahes> lapion: there is no numlock key on this board
[04:03] <lapion> Maahes, there is one hidden under the fn+f1-f12 keys
[04:03] <psycho23> Dwade09: yeah your system sees that you have ~469GB on your drive.  It's an error with the GUI/software-that-gives-the-size.  The only suggestion is a bug report that gave you the '127TB' number or try upgrading the packages of your ubuntu system to see if that fixes the false reading of the size of your drive.
[04:03] <Guest26161> however if you are installing it on a laptop I would recommend checking out SUSE...
[04:03] <lapion> Maahes,  there is a small button next to the "trackpad" that turns the trackpad on and off
[04:03] <Maahes> oh.... that's stupid. It's the scroll lock button
[04:04] <lapion> Maahes, that's not stupid you'r
[04:04] <lapion> sorry.. just had to say that
[04:04] <Dwade09> psycho23,  it is not a big deal but is really annoying lol, thanks ill see what else i can get on the forums before i upgrade my os.
[04:05] <psycho23> Dwade09: actually I'm wrong.  The ~469GB is for the partition that your ubuntu is on
[04:05] <Maahes> okay, there is no phsyical restart key for the trackpad though
[04:05] <lapion> Maahes, there is the enable/disable key on most modern trackpads
[04:05] <psycho23> Dwade09: try this command:    fdisk -l
[04:06] <Maahes> lapion: this is not really a modern trackpad, this machine is a few years old
[04:06] <Dwade09> no such command psycho23
[04:06] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm trying to install virtualbox on lucid, and i'm getting an error saying that the kernel headers for kernel 2.6.32-21-generic cannot be found
[04:06] <psycho23> Dwade09: k.  I need at most 1 minute.
[04:06] <Maahes> and it's a gateway, which is =
[04:07] <Maahes> =\ this machine is very easy to overheat and cause it to shutdown
[04:07] <boxbeatsy> when i look at the log, it tells me Failed to install using DKMS, attempting to install without
[04:07] <boxbeatsy> Makefile:159: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.  Stop.
[04:07] <boxbeatsy> does anybody know what's wrong?
[04:07] <Maahes> literally running one of the Avernum games (which are pretty lowtech) causes it to shut down.
[04:08] <binchel> who can help me ???
[04:09] <psycho23> Dwade09: I'm not on ubuntu.  My solutions are going to be kind of weak and extraneous, what you need to do is find a command that can show you your size of your hard drive so that you'll know if you computer can actually see the actual size of the drive versus the program that gave you the 127TB reading.
[04:10] <psycho23> Dwade09: the best command I know to get the size of a hard disk is `fdisk -l` and that would require that you probably go like this to find the package it's in:   apt-file search fdisk | egrep 'fdisk$'
[04:10] <stephenjudkins> i want to run two programs at once from the console, such that ctrl+c sends a signal to both of them
[04:10] <Dwade09> psycho23,  it was not a command it was just right clicked on the file system and hit properties.
[04:10] <stephenjudkins> ideas how?
[04:10] <Guest57274> root
[04:11] <psycho23> Dwade09: I know, but the program that gave you that number '127TB' might be buggy...or it might be the Linux kernel that's buggy.  YOur problem is finding out what software is responsible for outputting this erroneous message.  Or you could try a system upgrade via your system package manager.
[04:11] <Dwade09> psycho23,  if i did a system upgrade would i lose all data on the hard drive?
[04:12] <psycho23> stephenjudkins: there are only jobs.   CTRL+C only stops the foreground process that has taken STDIN.  Go to #bash
[04:12] <lapion> Maahes, 1 try to run your fingers along the edge of the "trackpad" your will find something resembling a pushbutton with maybe even a led..
[04:12] <wmpotato> Dwade09: No..
[04:12] <psycho23> stephenjudkins: you may want to save the PID numbers of the processes that you start and then somehow capturing CTRL+C to `kill -TERM $both_pids`
[04:13] <stephenjudkins> psycho23: yeah, looks like that's what i'll have to do
[04:13] <Dwade09> psycho23,  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/585472 and thank you wmpotato
[04:13] <psycho23> Dwade09: oh no no! hahaha no it's a security update with upgrade to packages
[04:13] <lapion> Maahes, 2. most laptops that overheat, overheat because they are being suffecated, try not using the laptop on your lap , also it's not a good idea to use a laptop on your bed or couch, any uneven surface with cloth..
[04:14] <stephenjudkins> what signal does ctrl+c send?
[04:14] <psycho23> kill -TERM 231122 #CTRL+C sends the TERM signal
[04:14] <psycho23> or 'termination'
[04:14] <psycho23> or 'terminate now'
[04:15] <lapion> Maahes, 3. when people tend to suffocate laptops too much, the cooling system tends to inhale too much dirt and cannot cool the system anymore
[04:15] <psycho23> `man kill`
[04:16] <lapion> Maahes, 3b it's a good idea to power off the laptop and  give it a thorough cleaning, removing all dust builtup..
[04:16] <Athrak> My laptop had a bios that let the software control the fan, i never had the software installed, as a result, it would constantly overheat. :(
[04:16] <undecim> What's the easiest way to get sound playing on my Ubuntu computer (i.e. rhythmbox) to output to my Windows 7 computer? (i.e. with pulseaudio streaming)
[04:17] <doc|home> undecim: you could try mpd with streaming, but it's not "easy". It's not awfully difficult though.
[04:18] <doc|home> undecim: it does have the advantage of you being able to control it from any number of devices. My ipod, laptop, internet tablet all have mpd clients
[04:18] <undecim> I was hoping for something like a windows 7 pulseaudio client...
[04:18] <psycho23> I guess a cross-over cable and a couple servers
[04:18] <psycho23> but if you're gonna do that you're gonna have to rebuild the kernel
[04:19] <doc|home> do which?
[04:19] <Dwade09> psycho23,  how do i do the upgrade again? i go to?
[04:20] <ghostnik11> i have a computer with intel core i5 cpu it says 64 bit, should i install ubuntu 10.10 32 bit or 64 bit even though it is intel and not an amd 64 bit?
[04:20] <psycho23> Dwade09: I can't remember, and I think it depends on if you're using gnome or kde.  you want to find a link somewhere on your desktop through system settings or something to "upgrade packages" I don't know ubuntu is much different than my personal distribution
[04:20] <lapion> Maahes, the thing you call a trackpad is actually a touchpad, a trackpad is what you run on in a gym
[04:21] <Dwade09> i did update package manager but it is empty
[04:22] <psycho23> Dwade09: then most likely the latest software you have installed that outputs the '127TB' is probably just buggy, or who knows, maybe your hard disk is 127 terabytes lol :]
[04:23] <Dwade09> omfg psycho23 if i did have a 127TB internal hdd i would go stir crazy bloody mad i would not even know what to do with that much space.
[04:24] <ghostnik11> so can i install 32 bit ubuntu 10.10 on a computer that is a 64 bit with a intel core i5
[04:24] <Gnea> ghostnik11: yes.
[04:24] <lapion> Dwade09, naah you would probably fill it up in a couple of days..
[04:24] <Dwade09> ghostnik11,  yes.
[04:24] <jubei> howdy guys. I'm trying to install ubuntu in an old laptop without cdrom, will not boot from usb and cannot get net-install to work
[04:24] <psycho23> Dwade09: that is true, my bad.
[04:24] <jubei> is there any way to install ubuntu from windows when there's no free disk space?
[04:24] <ghostnik11> gnea: i thought they would be like a performance problem, so I will go with 32 bit
[04:25] <Dwade09> lmao i doubt it lapion i am having a hard time with this one now.
[04:25] <ghostnik11> jubei, try wubi installer method
[04:26] <Dwade09> its all good psycho23 its just a visual bug no harm really. thank you for trying so much.
[04:26] <psycho23> Dwade09: nnooo visual bugs, it means that the system is all screwy
[04:26] <lapion> I'm off to bed
[04:26] <Dwade09> aww poo.
[04:26] <psycho23> psycho23: if I were you I'd uninstall the program/package that has the program that gave you the 127tb
[04:27] <psycho23> whoops
[04:27] <psycho23> and the truth comes out
[04:27] <Dwade09> lol, yeah ill look for the thing that is installed causing it from what those two forums said.
[04:28] <psycho23> I swear if I installed an OS and it can't even give the right size of my hard disk
[04:28] <psycho23> I'd be...I'd be............pissed!!!!
[04:29] <AbhiJit> ubuntu eating 1 gb memory while only xchat firefox & chromium are rumming
[04:29] <Braber01> can anybody here teach me how to use tcpdump?
[04:29] <maginot> AbhiJit, or you are just seeing cache
[04:29] <lapion> psycho23, and then you find out that bodily fluids go faster then light, lightning, electricity and light...
[04:29] <AbhiJit> maginot, ???
[04:29] <pipegeek> What's the best way to ask about why certain kernel options (CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE et al) were disabled lucid => maverick?
[04:29] <pipegeek> should I file a bug report?
[04:30] <jfer> Barber01:i would read the manual
[04:30] <erikk> tcpdump -w -i eth0
[04:30] <maginot> AbhiJit, there is nothing eating memory, probably you are just seeing 1gb used and can't know the diference between cache and active memory
[04:30] <erikk> tcpdump -w test -i eth0
[04:30] <jfer> man tcpdump
[04:30] <Dwade09> psycho23,  they said the bug is most likely with proc/kcore
[04:30] <Braber01> erikkk thanks
[04:30] <AbhiJit> maginot, system monitr showing me 1 gb
[04:30] <kfsh> hi.
[04:30] <kfsh> hi
[04:31] <kfsh> can anybody here teach me how to use tcpdump
[04:31] <lapion> I felt I had to piss, I ran out of bed like lightning, turned on the light switch , but when the light turned on I found it was all in vain: to late..
[04:31] <maginot> AbhiJit, use top command and see what is cache.
[04:31] <AbhiJit> ok
[04:32] <AbhiJit> 770924k cached maginot
[04:35] <maginot> AbhiJit, you see, 770mb are actually cache. =)
[04:35] <nootrope> hullo. i installed ubuntu netbook edition on my eee and i hate thr interface. how can i uninstall un
[04:35] <AbhiJit> maginot, what is cache? i dont want cache how to avoid it?
[04:35] <rww> ubottu: memory | AbhiJit
[04:35] <pipegeek> what's the proper channel to go through to ask about why changes were made to a given package, and to request that they be reverted?  Does that count as a feature request or should I write hte mailing list?
[04:35] <lapion> AbhiJit, try sudo -i [enter] followed by echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[04:35] <AbhiJit> ok
[04:36] <zed_> I tried to install Ubuntu 10.10, got to the Ubuntu screen with 5 red & white dots, then got a black screen, and nothing happens!  how do I install it?  I'm on a i3-530 on Asrock P55Pro-USB3
[04:36] <AbhiJit> lapion, what does it do?
[04:36] <maginot> AbhiJit, cache isn't a bad thing, is  there to help, and makes part of modern operation systems.
[04:36] <lapion> AbhiJit, it clears all buffers caches..
[04:37] <AbhiJit> maginot, rww lapion ok. thank you.
[04:38] <AbhiJit> pipegeek, #ubuntu-devel
[04:38] <pipegeek> AbhiJit: thank you.
[04:38] <lapion> AbhiJit, but there is no need to do that.. the system usually maintains a good buffer/cache ratio for your system
[04:39] <AbhiJit> lapion, yeah
[04:39] <ghostnik11> hi i am trying the wubi installer and i put it with an copy of ubuntu 10.10 x86 (same folder) and instead the wubi is installing ubuntu 10.04 amd edition should i just let it do it and then take care of ubuntu upgrade to 10.10 later
[04:40] <Jp> i need a program to convert and burn .avi files to dvd
[04:40] <maginot> AbhiJit, cache is a way to keep the memory there available if is need making things loader faster, so I would like to keep that.... (OT one of the best things that darwin kernel do is cache)
[04:41] <AbhiJit> maginot, hmm ok
[04:41] <dustin_> has anyone here had any trouble with the kde plasma desktop "ruberbanding" plasmoids i.e. I move/resize a plasmoid and it bounces back to its last state????
[04:41] <Jp> i need a program to convert and burn .avi files to dvd
[04:42] <IntelMiner> Anyone else tried dual booting Ubuntu and Gentoo with GRUB2?
[04:42] <ghostnik11> so i guess i should just let the wubi installer install ubuntu 10.04 even though 10.10 is better, is there a way i can tell it to install ubuntu 10.10 32 bit or 64 bit
[04:42] <Jp> yes
[04:43] <dustin_> Jp brasero will burn an avi into a dvd on its own
[04:43] <r3sno> is there a way to enable restricted drivers from cli?
[04:44] <deker> hi all, i need some help with MBRs
[04:45] <deker> trying to install an MBR to a USB key and then dd it out into a file
[04:45] <deker> but, i keep getting errors when i try to do this
[04:45] <rww> r3sno: jockey-text program, in the jockey-common package
[04:45] <deker> root@ubuntu:/# grub-install /dev/sdc1
[04:45] <deker> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[04:45] <dustin_> you might do better making a live install ubuntu usb stick
[04:46] <deker> i'm booted off the live install CD right now
[04:46] <deker> trying to just get the MBR out as a file
[04:46] <r3sno> rww: jockey text?
[04:46] <rww> r3sno: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6521/how-can-i-reconfigure-the-nvidia-proprietary-drivers-from-the-command-line-ssh/11464#11464 has usage information; I've never used it myself (just heard about it from Planet Ubuntu)
[04:46] <dustin_> I am guessing that you are trying to rescue a system with a broken grub?
[04:47] <deker> dustin_, actually, just trying to have the MBR as a file
[04:47] <rww> r3sno: Yes. Jockey is the name of the "Additional Hardware" program in Ubuntu's GUI. jockey-text is the text interface to it.
[04:47] <deker> building up my system now
[04:47] <deker> might stick with win bootloader
[04:47] <r3sno> ah, thanks rww ill give it a spin and let you know
[04:47] <dustin_> deker I have never been able to make a successfull copy myselfe tried several times
[04:47] <deker> so if i have the ubuntu mbr as a file, i could just add it as an entry
[04:48] <deker> dustin_, i think i may just try to install ubuntu off this live cd and in advanced options, stick the mbr onto a usb key
[04:48] <dustin_> deker I just always keep a live system ready for that sad day when I need to fix grub
[04:49] <deker> yeah dustin_ i hear ya
[04:49] <deker> let me start the install and see what happens
[04:49] <dustin_> deker smoking HDD was one of those realy sad days.....
[04:50] <r3sno> rww: ah very nice :) it seems to be on the money
[04:50] <Talon_> I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and gnome 2.30.2, I have two monitors and they're configured as seperate X sessions. How do i change the background on one or the other? if i right click the desktop and chose change background image, the same image is applied to both screens. I want a different background on each monitor
[04:50] <Jp> ty
[04:51] <dustin_> talon is your vid card ATI?
[04:51] <Talon_> no, nvidia
[04:51] <dustin_> hmmm
[04:52] <dustin_> talon I have mine set up with ati catalyst maybe see if Nvidia has a symiler
[04:52] <dustin_> eye kant spall toda
[04:52] <Talon_> i got two seperate X sessions right now just fine, i know they're seperate cause I got the gnome panels all different n what not.. I like having them seperate but i just want a different bg for each screen.
[04:53] <dustin_> Talon_ so just so I know I am on the right page, if you set BG on one it X-fers to the other right now, correct
[04:54] <zed_> sorry, my web browser crashed, again, I tried to install Ubuntu 10.10, got to the Ubuntu screen with 5 red & white dots, then got a black screen, and nothing happens!  how do I install it?  I'm on a i3-530 on Asrock P55Pro-USB3
[04:54] <Talon_> yea
[04:54] <Talon_> either screen if i right click the desktop and chose change background, it changes both to the same simotaneously
[04:55] <dustin_> man mine never gave me a problem wiht that but then again I put plasma under Gnome....
[04:55] <Om3gA> dissconect
[04:57] <dustin_> Talon_ I am sure your not a KDE guy but plasma desktop widgets would be one way you could get your desired result
[04:58] <Guest26161> :P
[04:58] <Guest26161> Hello..?
[04:58] <Guest26161> anyone?
[04:59] <r3sno> hello
[05:00] <rdw200169> Talon_: for gnome, there is no way you can have separate wallpapers, even if the X displays are different
[05:01] <dustin_> rdw200169 so Gnome no and kde/plasma yes?
[05:02] <dustin_> I just want to make sure for future reference
[05:02] <dustin_> my system is pretty ....well ............. customised now
[05:02] <zed_> any help with my problem? I tried to install Ubuntu 10.10, got to the Ubuntu screen with 5 red & white dots, then got a black screen, and nothing happens!
[05:02] <dustin_> zed_ X session failed to load
[05:02] <rdw200169> dustin_: Talon_ well, there is an options in Gnome for a spanned wallpaper, which should go across both screens
[05:03] <robin> hi
[05:03] <zed_> dustin_: what do you mean?
[05:03] <dustin_> zed_ are you on a seperat computer from the one that failed to load?
[05:03] <rdw200169> dustin_: Talon_ i know it works in 10.10, but i can't vouch for any other version of Ubuntu... regardless, you can reference this for more information: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147808
[05:03] <zed_> dustin_: yes
[05:04] <Talon_> oh well that sucks.
[05:04] <U-b-u-n-t-u> can I resize my hd1 partition with gparted? or will I have to use live cd and unmont the hd1?
[05:04] <dustin_> ty rdw200169
[05:04] <dustin_> zed_ on the computer that failed to load fully press ctrl+alt+F1
[05:04] <rdw200169> dustin_: Talon_ so, what you can do is find/create a wallpaper that is large enough to 'fit' across both screens
[05:05] <Talon_> they aren't stretched, its the same image scaled on both screens, its duplicated, not stretched across both
[05:05] <Talon_> which is why i figured i should be able to set the different backgrounds
[05:05] <dustin_> rdw200169 or you can install kde packages and enable Plasma desktop to run inside of Gnome session...
[05:05] <rdw200169> Talon_: right, have you checked the options available to you Appearance Preferences -> Background, you're looking for the style dropbox...
[05:06] <dustin_> zed_ does it put you at a terminal?
[05:06] <rdw200169> dustin_: dunno, haven't tried Plasma...
[05:06] <zed_> dustin_: it's rebooting now, one moment
[05:06] <dustin_> rdw20169 I am running that settup now thats why I was hopefull that Gnome could do it natively
[05:07] <Talon_> its on stretch, either way once again if i change it to span or whatever it affects both screens, but they both show the entire image, its not streched across both screens... my screens are seperate X sessions tho
[05:07] <dustin_> Plasma+Gnome = happy me
[05:07] <zed_> dustin_: no, no change
[05:08] <dustin_> zed_ so when it stalls you cant press that button set to get a terminal... that stinks
[05:08] <dustin_> zed_ how old is the machine you are trying to install 10.10 on?
[05:09] <zed_> dustin_: brand new, I did install windows 7 on a seperate partition
[05:10] <dustin_> zed_ just so I can be clear you are trying to run the live boot and not the installer directly right?
[05:11] <zed_> dustin_: sorry, what do you mean?  I downloaded the iso, put it into my computer, restarted, and it came up with the ubuntu logo and then a black screen
[05:12] <dustin_> zed_ when the disk first starts to load it should have options " try Ubuntu without making changes" or "install ubuntu now"
[05:12] <dustin_> zed_ did you just let it run out the timer?
[05:13] <zed_> dustin_: no it just comes up with the ubuntu logo and the 5 dots
[05:13] <dustin_> hmmm
[05:13] <dustin_> I am thinking mayby a bad copy
[05:13] <kaushal> hi
[05:13] <kaushal> is http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/#downloads available in Ubuntu repository ?
[05:13] <zed_> dustin_: it starts with a little cannonical logo down the bottom, then the ubuntu logo
[05:14] <zed_> dustin_: I tried the i386 iso, but it didn't boot off of that
[05:14] <AbhiJit> kaushal, i think no
[05:15] <kaushal> AbhiJit: Any specific reason why its not available in the repository ?
[05:15] <AbhiJit> kaushal, dunno ask in #ubuntu-packaging or #ubuntu-devel
[05:15] <dustin_> zed_ well 10.04 is still out there and its the LTS "long Tearm Support" release you may have better luck with it
[05:16] <bazhang> kaushal, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro
[05:16] <zed_> dustin_: alright I'll have a look, thanks for your time
[05:16] <bazhang> !latest > kaushal
[05:16] <dustin_> zed_ no prob
[05:16] <kaushal> bazhang: Thanks

[05:25] <logan_wolf> what happens ....... I mean is the system detecting your wifi?
[05:26] <randall84_> I need help with a small issue. I'm running maverick netbook remix. The menus that are suppose to be at the top left hand corner(system, places, and applications), aren't there. How can I fix that?
[05:26] <r3sno> logan_wolf: yep, wifi detected just cant connect
[05:27] <randall84_> r3sno, try editing the wifi connection and changing the connection from either infrastructure to adhoc or vice versa depending on the current setting.
[05:27] <jmadero> randall84_ did they just disapear or were never there?
[05:27] <r3sno> randall84_: im using cli
[05:27] <randall84_> jmadero, were never there
[05:27] <jmadero> taskbar there?
[05:27] <logan_wolf> r3sno, have you been using different mode of connection with the same computer
[05:28] <r3sno> logan_wolf: yep, ethernet. tried turning it off. no change
[05:28] <logan_wolf> r3sno, :P that causes the problem
[05:28] <jmadero> oh the netbook remix doesn't have those, sorry
[05:29] <jmadero> forgot, don't use it very often, so you won't see those on the upper left corner, look at screenshots
[05:29] <randall84_> jmader0, how do I access those functions then?
[05:29] <randall84_> jmadero, would the desktop version work on a netbook?
[05:29] <r3sno> logan_wolf: well, not in this case cause i have switched off during the many hours of testing
[05:29] <jmadero> on the desktop, those things on the left side, one is for places
[05:29] <flyguy> hi
[05:29] <jmadero> another is for preferences
[05:29] <jmadero> then there is a systems one that you can scroll down and find things
[05:30] <flyguy> is there a non alpha numeric character, such as "_"   that comes after "z"?
[05:30] <jmadero> yes it would but the netbook version is nice once you get used to it, fiance uses it
[05:30] <flyguy> instead of before
[05:30] <randall84_> jmadero, the problem is that there are things on those menus that I need access to and I don't know how to find them
[05:30] <jmadero> yeah they are all there, you just need to figure out the placement in the remix, give me an example
[05:30] <logan_wolf> r3sno, open /etc/network/interface
[05:31] <logan_wolf> and check how many lines are there
[05:31] <r3sno> 4 right now
[05:32] <logan_wolf> r3sno, 2 on top and 2 after a gap of lines
[05:32] <e26063> my init script is giving me an error: unable to set GID
[05:32] <e26063> will someone help me fix?
[05:33] <randall84_> There was an issue the other day and I needed to go to 'system' to access something. I can't remember the specific details, but I couldn't figure out how to access the system menu
[05:33] <plitter> hey, i just used the alsa upgrade script i found at (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810) and now i cant even open alsamixer
[05:33] <r3sno> logan_wolf: the auto eth1 -- iface eth1 inet dhcp -- wpa-driver wext -- wpa-ssid routerssid
[05:33] <jmadero> you clicked the icons on the left hand side on your desktop?
[05:33] <randall84_> jmadero, is there a way to customize the gui to show those menus?
[05:33] <plitter> someone know how to fix it?
[05:33] <jmadero> they are there, just in a different form, the whole point of the netbook edition is to conserve space
[05:34] <jmadero> but if you really want them to look the other way, I'd suggest installing desktop version
[05:34] <jmadero> it's just not optimized for netbooks
[05:34] <Guest26161> hi guy's
[05:34] <Guest26161> sorry what is the topic?/question
[05:35] <jmadero> here is a decent screenshot http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/TFdCCuVrCuI/AAAAAAAABqQ/Pm3GWy368OY/s288/unity-apps-menu.png
[05:35] <jiohdi> anyone know how to make pp stream work in totem?
[05:36] <Guest26161> i that meego?
[05:36] <Guest26161> is*
[05:37] <logan_wolf> r3sno, copy all of them and save it on another file ........ then empty the iterface file
[05:37] <logan_wolf> and then try to connect
[05:37] <gogeta> jmadero: conserding netbook is as large as dektop moot there
[05:38] <jmadero> gogeta: you talking about screen space?
[05:39] <gogeta> jmadero: well screen rez is screen rez
[05:39] <Guest26161> gogeta are you looking for an O.S?
[05:39] <gogeta> jmadero: i dont like the remixes on my netbook personaly
[05:39] <Guest26161> bye
[05:39] <jmadero> gogeta: fair enough, my fiance loves the remix, I'm in between, don't care either way
[05:39] <kaushal> hi again
[05:39] <gogeta> jmadero: big icons etc annoyinly big
[05:39] <r3sno> logan_wolf: ok? now what
[05:39] <kaushal> I did apt-cache search mysql |grep -- ^mysql-
[05:40] <kaushal> what does -- signify after grep command ?
[05:40] <jmadero> gogeta: yeah that's the point of it, make icons big without taking up the entire screen space, etc...
[05:40] <mbergamo> is there any way for me to download a package using synaptic package manager and put the .deb files into a specific directory so i can move it to another partition that has Lubuntu but doesn't have any internet connection?
[05:40] <jmadero> gogeta: and even more so conserving verticle space
[05:40] <gogeta> jmadero: i can see everything fine on a desktop install on the netbook screen the 1024x600
[05:40] <jmadero> gogeta: fair enough
[05:40] <e26063> my init script is giving me an error: unable to set GID.  someone help?
[05:41] <logan_wolf> r3sno, try connecting from gui
[05:41] <jmadero> gogeta: I think my fiance likes when things are minimized they turn into small icons vs. the way that regular distro has it, that's one of her bigger likes I think
[05:41] <Exploiter> kaushal: woh terai ko mysql search kar kai print karaiga... doosrei text chord deiga
[05:42] <r3sno> logan_wolf: ok. what app should i run? im running bare bones gnome
[05:42] <jmadero> but for his purposes, he can try out regular version if he's that annoyed finding the placement of things
[05:42] <joeoshawa> hi people
[05:43] <blackshirt> hei
[05:43] <logan_wolf> r3sno, I suppose u r using Lucid
[05:44] <LumberCartel> Does anyone know where to find example .vnc files?  Thanks in advance.
[05:44] <joeoshawa> i installed ubuntu ultimate 64 bit but the other partition has 32 bit but the loader never picked it up
[05:44] <r3sno> logan_wolf: 10.04
[05:44] <joeoshawa> what do i need to change
[05:44] <joeoshawa> please
[05:45] <Exploiter> lumber cartel .vnc must be directory hidden, in terminal type cd ~/ then ls -a
[05:45] <blakkheim> !please | joeoshawa
[05:45] <Jordan_U> joeoshawa: Ubuntu ultimate is not a supported Ubuntu derivitive.
[05:45] <logan_wolf> r3sno, yeah thats lucid
[05:45] <logan_wolf> r3sno, you have your wireless radio on???
[05:45] <LumberCartel> Exploiter:  I'm trying to find the contents of the .vnc file so that I can understand how to create these.  Documentation and Google searches have not been helpful.
[05:46] <joeoshawa> jordan hi its just regular ubuntu with more extras is it not
[05:46] <Jordan_U> joeoshawa: It is not.
[05:46] <gogeta> LumberCartel: i knoe there html 5
[05:46] <r3sno> logan_wolf: yes
[05:46] <gogeta> LumberCartel: sorry xml files
[05:46] <e26063> how do I fix my init script giving an error: unable to set GID?
[05:46] <joeoshawa> so you guys won't help with grub then
[05:47] <gogeta> LumberCartel: so you should be able to look at them with any xml editor
[05:47] <LumberCartel> gogeta:  Okay, so that's interesting to know that they're XML files.  I'd like to get my hands on at least one .vnc file so that I can get a look at how to configure one.

[05:53] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: To install grub from a LiveCD follow http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide. Be sure that you are installing to the mbr, like /dev/sda, and *not* to a partition, like /dev/sda1.

[05:55] <LumberCartel> gogeta:  Looks like it's not XML after all, rather a .vnc file contains regular configuration file text (Samba-style); here's an example in case you're interested:  http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1173303&page=5

[05:56] <THE_SEEKER_001> hey
[05:56] <logan_wolf> sara2010, you need to add two repository entries and then you can either install in gui mode using software center or by sudo apt-get install skype

[05:56] <THE_SEEKER_001> anyone help me? im new to all of this
[05:56] <sara2010> which one
[05:57] <rigved> !question | THE_SEEKER_001
[05:57] <spandi> You can install skype by downloading it from the Skype website I guess. That's what I did
[05:58] <rigved> sara2010: there is a .deb package for skype available online, on the skype website. install that
[05:58] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: When do you see that error?
[05:59] <sara2010> rigved i have install that package
[05:59] <sara2010> but its not working

[06:00] <logan_wolf> r3sno, how do u connect to wireless just do that
[06:00] <e26063> how do I fix my init script giving an error: unable to set GID?
[06:00] <logan_wolf> and I believe your wireless will be connected
[06:00] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: Please watch your language.
[06:00] <r3sno> logan_wolf: if it was just that simpy, i would be done and not asking for help
[06:01] <logan_wolf> r3sno, :P
[06:02] <r3sno> logan_wolf: i am just frustrated because, its not documented and no one knows where to find the information or how to get it working
[06:02] <logan_wolf> r3sno, why dont you read the manual available to connect to wireless through your netbook
[06:02] <graphitemaster> sudo bang-bang
[06:02] <graphitemaster> !! :D
[06:02] <graphitemaster> coolest idea ever
[06:02] <logan_wolf> r3sno, relax man dont get frustrated its not rocket science
[06:02] <r3sno> logan_wolf: seems like it
[06:02] <e26063> rocket science isn't that hard =P

[06:03] <rigved> sara2010: can you try to start skype from the terminal. this way any error that occurs will get logged to the terminal.
[06:03] <graphitemaster> ubuntu, fire up the live cd go in a terminal type sudo grub
[06:04] <graphitemaster> then you will have a grub prompt
[06:04] <graphitemaster> type 'find /boot/grub/stage1'
[06:04] <logan_wolf> r3sno, dont get upset I'll find a document for you
[06:04] <ubuntu> grub: command not found

[06:04] <r3sno> logan_wolf: if you can find a current one, that would be wonderful. most are out of date and should be ignored
[06:04] <Jordan_U> graphitemaster: That won't work with grub2.
[06:04] <r3sno> !wireless
[06:05] <r3sno> for example is one of those
[06:05] <ubuntu> yeah im doing apt-get isntall fgrub
[06:05] <graphitemaster> Jordan_U, you're nuts if you use Grub2
[06:05] <logan_wolf> r3sno, sure man ;)
[06:05] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: Do not run apt-get install grub.
[06:05] <rigved> sara2010: can you install that eperately?
[06:05] <rigved> separately
[06:05] <graphitemaster> okay grub2
[06:05] <Jordan_U> graphitemaster: grub2 is the default bootloader since Ubuntu 9.10.
[06:05] <graphitemaster> grub-install -v
[06:05] <magn3ts> I need some major help--- I backed up data to a hard drive that is showing no data in my backup folder. Further fsck is tellign me that my superblock is invalid and that there is a bad magic number. Somehow ubuntu still mounts the drive, but as I said the data is missing. IT wouldn't be a big deal but this was the backup for the drive that failed.
[06:05] <graphitemaster> bah
[06:05] <graphitemaster> grub-install
[06:06] <r3sno> logan_wolf: i dont mean to beat up on you, but ive been around this before and done my own research and its just not working.
[06:06] <graphitemaster> from the command line
[06:06] <magn3ts> The data looked fine when I made the backup but it must have corrupted the FS... sometime, somehow
[06:06] <graphitemaster> Jordan_U, righty
[06:06] <graphitemaster> Jordan_U, however I do not use Grub on ubuntu
[06:06] <sara2010> ya i download from skype site
[06:06] <r3sno> logan_wolf: thanks for helping in any case
[06:06] <graphitemaster> Jordan_U, I will stick with lilo
[06:06] <logan_wolf> r3sno, np
[06:06] <gogeta> graphitemaster: lilo man old school
[06:07] <graphitemaster> lilo I find it 10X faster at booting crap up then Grub
[06:07] <sara2010> and user it  ..   root@ssss:~# skype
[06:07] <sara2010> skype: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by skype)

[06:07] <e26063> sara2010: how did you install skype?
[06:07] <gogeta> graphitemaster: strange beng ubuntun can be up in seconds
[06:07] <sara2010> dpkg -i skype-debian_2.1.0.81-1_i386.deb

[06:10] <graphitemaster> gogeta, figure out what partition and disck your linux is on
[06:10] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: You want to mount the partition containing Ubuntu. If you don't know which that is then pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" and I will tell you.
[06:10] <graphitemaster> gogeta, use sudo fdisk -l
[06:10] <graphitemaster> and find out which one is labelled the right linux partition
[06:10] <gogeta> graphitemaster: easy the enite disk
[06:10] <graphitemaster> most the time it's sda1
[06:11] <magn3ts> No one :( ugggh
[06:11] <ubuntu> sda2 right on
[06:11] <graphitemaster> sda2?
[06:11] <graphitemaster> figure out which one it is
[06:11] <mbergamo> is there any way for me to download a package using synaptic package manager and have the .deb files put into a specific directory so i can move it to another partition that has Lubuntu but doesn't have any internet connection?
[06:11] <ubuntu> ubuntu@ubuntu:/dev$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda2

[06:11] <gogeta> graphitemaster: well sda1 being its the entire disk
[06:11] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: Why aren
[06:12] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: Why aren't you following the guide I linked to?
[06:12] <cbill> mbergamo: all packages can be downloaded at http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[06:12] <ubuntu> I am
[06:12] <graphitemaster> ubuntu, mount sda1
[06:12] <ubuntu> thast the step im on

[06:12] <kavin> mebrgamo all installed packages deb files locate on /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:12] <graphitemaster> ubuntu, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

[06:13] <Chunjee> http://downloadmob.com/files/misc/carmusic.JPG  Powered by Ubuntu.
[06:13] <ubuntu> sorry
[06:14] <gogeta> graphitemaster: ssd fast read speeds so
[06:14] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: The guide you should follow is this one: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide and you should install to /dev/sda, *not* to a partition like /dev/sda2.
[06:14] <gogeta> graphitemaster: ubuntu boots quick off them
[06:14] <rebirth> how do i expand the bar at the top to two rows instead of one?
[06:14] <ubuntu> what was I supposed to mount
[06:14] <graphitemaster> gogeta, still lilo is my like fav boot loader, i sent patches and worked on it.
[06:14] <niftylettuce> cheers
[06:14] <ubuntu> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[06:14] <graphitemaster> gogeta, I know the source of the loader inside out
[06:14] <graphitemaster> gogeta, which is why I like it :D

[06:15] <graphitemaster> sda2 is his partition
[06:15] <graphitemaster> weird
[06:16] <gogeta> graphitemaster: well ssd plays by some diffrent rules heh. set amount of write so you avoide swap and use ext4 in writeback mode
[06:16] <ubuntu> i just wanna boot from my HD LOL
[06:16] <logan_wolf> r3sno, I am not familiar with netbook icons but I am assuming there will be small icon which is like the one that shows wifi
[06:16] <gogeta> graphitemaster: but has been defuly sence lucid to be writeback
[06:17] <D347H> can someone help me install java?  I'm getting stuck while following the official instructions for some reason.  I get up to the part where I unpack/install the file, but the cmdline tells me the file does not exist
[06:17] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: In the future do not paste multiple lines directly into the channel. Mount /dev/sda2.
[06:17] <gogeta> defult
[06:17] <r3sno> logan_wolf: not netbook, its more minimized then that
[06:17] <cbill> D347H Java can be installed through synaptic
[06:17] <r3sno> logan_wolf: dont worry about it. i see you dont know, which is ok. ill try again another day.
[06:17] <kleanchap> Are there any codecs for mp3 that are not allowed on Ubuntu?  Will ffmpeg convert flv to mp3 on Ubuntu?
[06:17] <gogeta> kleanchap: abought a million web based and app ways lol
[06:17] <D347H> cbill - how simple is that?
[06:17] <ubuntu> okay did that
[06:17] <logan_wolf> r3sno, Kool
[06:18] <gogeta> kleanchap: lol not allowed
[06:18] <justin__> if i place ubuntu mail server in dmz should i enable ufw
[06:18] <Jordan_U> kleanchap: No, and yes.
[06:18] <cbill> D347H just search for package in synaptic and hit appl
[06:18] <D347H> cbill thanks!
[06:18] <gogeta> justin__: ufw should be aruldy enabled
[06:18] <graphitemaster> ubuntu, in this order: sudo -i, mount /dev/sda2 /mnt, mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev, mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc, mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys chroot /mnt apt-get install grub-pc, grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, grub-install /dev/sda ctrl+d ( to exit ) unmount /mnt/dev, unmount /mnt, reboot
[06:18] <kleanchap> gogeta, If Ubuntu is based on Debian, why are they not availiable on Debian?
[06:18] <justin__> so i would just open smtp?
[06:18] <gogeta> kleanchap: they are just as a dowload
[06:19] <justin__> sorry im learning :(
[06:19] <graphitemaster> use the mediabuntu repos
[06:19] <gogeta> kleanchap: if you tryed to play a mp3 in totem it will say it needs to download them
[06:19] <plitter> hello i just used the update script for alsa i found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137 to try to get the mic working and now i dont have any options in sound preferences.... could someone please help?
[06:19] <cbill> D347H look for "sun-java6-bin"
[06:19] <gogeta> graphitemaster: you dont need mediaubuntu these days
[06:19] <thatguyfil> i'm trying to use the new git method of compiling ubuntu kernels, but i'm not sure how to load a custom .config file.  can anyone provide pointers?
[06:19] <graphitemaster> gogeta, what is there now?
[06:20] <graphitemaster> gogeta, they seem to have it all
[06:20] <gogeta> graphitemaster: there part of the main repos now
[06:20] <graphitemaster> gogeta, the open source; non propitiatory crap fails 99% of the time
[06:20] <gogeta> graphitemaster: as i said if totem is missing a codec it will download it
[06:20] <graphitemaster> gogeta, right libcss and dvd stuff it...
[06:20] <D347H> cbill Many thanks!  installing now :)
[06:20] <gogeta> graphitemaster: that includs lamemp3 etc
[06:20] <graphitemaster> holy crap serious! TOTOEM IS CRAP!
[06:20] <graphitemaster> *TOTEM
[06:21] <Jordan_U> !language | graphitemaster
[06:21] <graphitemaster> you people scare me.
[06:21] <graphitemaster> "crap" is not a bad word
[06:21] <gogeta> graphitemaster: just example of the defult if you dl vlc it has everything aruldy including decss
[06:21] <graphitemaster> vlc is meh, I'll stick to mplayer thank you very  much
[06:21] <rigved> sara2010: the only solution that i can find is to update your library to libstdc++6. can you do that via your application manager/software center?
[06:21] <justin__> ok then, will i encounter any issues running a vbox image of default ubuntu mail server in dmz
[06:21] <e26063> how do I fix my init script giving an error: unable to set GID?
[06:21] <gogeta> graphitemaster: well i think mplayer even includs most including dvd playback
 gogeta, If Ubuntu is based on Debian, why are they not availiable on Deb
[06:22] <justin__> all docs say go for it
[06:22] <gogeta> ubuntu they are
[06:22] <graphitemaster> gogeta, yeah replace them because their stuff is as i said cr**
[06:22] <ubuntu> E: Option /boot/grub/grub.cfg: Configuration item specification must have an =<val>.
[06:22] <Guest17967> hey
[06:22] <lucent> justin__: my crystal ball is cloudy, try again in 100 years.
[06:22] <Guest17967> guys
[06:22] <justin__> hahaha
[06:22] <e26063> I want to get my minecraft server working with an init script, but I can't get the permissions to work for non-sudoers user accounts...
[06:22] <reeniginEesreveR> is there a netcat like tools for testing network performacne?
[06:22] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: What command did you run to get that error?
[06:23] <justin__> thanks just wondering if anyone has insight
[06:23] <graphitemaster> run your minecraft server as root
[06:23] <lucent> well, snark. sorry about that I'm just thinking it is funny to predict your future tonight
[06:23] <gogeta> graphitemaster: same stuff mediabuntu uses
[06:23] <justin__> why reinvent the wheel right?
[06:23] <ubuntu> chroot /mnt apt-get install grub-pc grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[06:23] <lucent> I do hope it works!
[06:23] <graphitemaster> ubuntu, dude1
[06:23] <graphitemaster> chroot /mnt first
[06:23] <graphitemaster> then
[06:23] <graphitemaster> apt-get install grub-pc
[06:23] <graphitemaster> then
[06:23] <FloodBot4> graphitemaster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:23] <kavin> \quit
[06:23] <lucent> e26063: an upstart script need be run as root uid, so... that's the end of it. I think.
[06:23] <graphitemaster> grub-mkconfig
[06:24] <and> hi . who use Fvwm?
[06:24] <Blue1> graphitemaster: ru trying to install grub after a windows hiccup?
[06:24] <graphitemaster> etc etc
[06:24] <graphitemaster> Blue1, me no, ubuntu here must be
[06:24] <graphitemaster> Blue1, I have'nt touched windows since 98
[06:25]  * lucent returns to lurking moar
[06:25] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: That should be two commands. "chroot /mnt" then "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg".
[06:25] <Blue1> graphitemaster: ahh okay i have that posted on my website fwiw:  http://pkill-9.com/?p=314
[06:26] <steev_> I have a 320gb usb hard drive, i've formatted it as ext4, however, when I plug it in, I can't write to it.  I've tried adding it to fstab with the option of user,rw and i can MOUNT it as my user, but i still can't write to it.  What am I missing?
[06:26] <spandi> I need to move over to Ubuntu from Vista and I need the enigmail on Thunderbird to work on Ubuntu How do I go about doing the migration ?
[06:26] <ubuntu>  -cokay doing that
[06:26] <steev_> I can't write to it whether I mount it, or I let Gnome automount it
[06:26] <ubuntu> done
[06:26] <ubuntu> is that it?
[06:26] <ubuntu> lol
[06:26] <lucent> steev_: newly created filesystem defaults to root:root ownership?
[06:27] <Blue1> steev_: what lucent said
[06:27] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: Did you run "grub-install /dev/sda"?
[06:27] <ubuntu> where do I paste long shit
[06:27] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | ubuntu
[06:27] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: And please watch your language.
[06:27] <cbill> !language | ubuntu
[06:27] <ubuntu>  installatin finished : no error reported
[06:28] <lucent> steev_: also, I'm still confused about what I fancy to do about that problem, even after years of using filesystems having UNIX permissions on remmovable media
[06:28] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: Then you are done. Try rebooting.
[06:28] <ubuntu> thanks sir
[06:28] <ubuntu> really appreciate it
[06:28] <magn3ts> >_< The HD reports that it has used 183 GB and Disk Usage Analyzer says 2GB. Can anyone help? Please?
[06:28] <Jordan_U> ubuntu: You're welcome.
[06:28] <lucent> steev_: easiest fix is going to be chmod 777 the root entity of the mounted filesystem (as sudo of course)
[06:29] <steev_> mmm, i don't want it to be 777, maybe 755?
[06:29] <lucent> steev_: the other way to go about it is just force the omode on mount flags
[06:29] <lucent> steev_: depends how you want to do it, I keep it root:root and set 777
[06:29] <carneiro> logger rl
[06:30] <lucent> steev_: anything I create in the root entity becomes owned by the user that creates it thusly
[06:30] <carneiro> logger url
[06:30] <cbill> magn3ts you can mount and view the drive?
[06:30] <rww> carneiro: something we can help you with?
[06:30] <lucent> rww: maybe it's a cat and not a person
[06:30]  * lucent waits in anticipation
[06:30] <carneiro> rww: how do i see logs of irc ?
[06:30] <rww> ubottu: 1984 | carneiro
[06:31] <carneiro> rww: lucent  : Thanks a lot
[06:32] <steev_> lucent, ahh, okay, misunderstood, was thinking that would apply to all files created, silly me
[06:32] <steev_> thank you very much!
[06:32] <faceless_> buntu
[06:32] <faceless_> its ubuntu
[06:32] <lucent> steev_: yes, and be careful not to recursively apply 777 unless that is what you want to do, if you mess with lost+found then bad things can happen but probably not
[06:33] <faceless_> im booted onto my HD ubuntu installation now, but had to use the livecd to boot onto it, bootloader didnt work
[06:33] <steev_> yeah, i just did chmod 777 .
[06:33] <carneiro> guys  anybody installed ubuntu on Mac ?
[06:34] <faceless_> im on it now
[06:34] <faceless_> pain in my ass so far
[06:34] <faceless_> lol
[06:35] <magn3ts> cbill, yes, that's how I know the folder where I put all the data is empty!
[06:35] <magn3ts> and how I know that ubuntu thinks it had 183GB used when it only "sees" 2GB.
[06:36] <lucent> sort of o/t question, does MSB imply LE or BE or not ?
[06:36] <NocturnalGuy> hey whats a good iso burner to use? I have tryed gmount and the default burner, neather worked.
[06:36] <lucent> NocturnalGuy: no luck with Brasero ?
[06:36] <mdkaneda55> k3b does a lot, i dig it
[06:36] <steev_> Are you sure it isn't the image you're trying to burn?
[06:36] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm trying to run a shell script every time my computer boots, but i need to cd to a directory first.  how do i do this?
[06:37] <magn3ts> boxbeatsy, cd in the script?
[06:37] <cbill> magn3ts what file system is the drive using?
[06:37] <magn3ts> cbill, ext4
[06:37] <NocturnalGuy> lucent: I tryed Brasero and when it got 80% done it gave me a eject error
[06:37] <magn3ts> cbill, ubuntu default - I installed ubuntu on a new drive and copied data from the bad drive to it.
[06:37] <lucent> NocturnalGuy: there's some voodoo magic kind of stuff you can play with, in gconf settings
[06:37] <TheUnnamed> I need help with making a piece of source code i downloaded usable
[06:37] <cbill> magn3ts so you can see the root off drive and backup folder but it is empty?
[06:38] <boxbeatsy> magn3ts: aah good point.  then, do i just add sh test.sh to the bottom of /etc/init.d/rc.local?
[06:38] <magn3ts> TheUnnamed, that's a tall order...
[06:38] <magn3ts> cbill, yes.
[06:38] <boxbeatsy> or, do i have to add it inside the for loop
[06:38] <cbill> magn3ts: so this is your primamry drive?
[06:38] <tom__> hi
[06:38] <vincent_lee> why my mplayer can't play video
[06:38] <magn3ts> boxbeatsy, you probably shouldn't be touching that file if there is a for loop in it.
[06:38] <vincent_lee> ?
[06:38] <vincent_lee> hi
[06:38] <TheUnnamed> Im not looking to compile im just looking to be able to view and edit
[06:38] <lucent> I don't know the exact details, but I suggest you start your search with gconf-editor and some google research for methods to make brasero use another burningoption
[06:38] <magn3ts> boxbeatsy, I don't know how to add something to startup, I just add it to gnome's startup apps
[06:38] <magn3ts> cbill, no
[06:38] <lucent> NocturnalGuy: is that any help? :)
[06:38] <magn3ts> cbill, I mean, the data is from a friends' primary drive, yah.
[06:38] <NocturnalGuy> mdkaneda55: can I get k3b from the software center?
[06:39] <magn3ts> cbill, but the drive the "lost" data is on is a separate drive just for the purposes of this recovery. It's brand new, passes all tests, etc.
[06:39] <vincent_lee> sb who can help me???
[06:39] <mdkaneda55> yep, i think so... otherwise just "sudo apt-get install k3b"
[06:39] <boxbeatsy> magn3ts: mmk, thanks!
[06:39] <NocturnalGuy> lucent: useing voodoo would just be weird to use
[06:39] <rigved> !details | TheUnnamed
[06:39] <tom__> how can i add file extensions to a bunch of files in batch? i want to rename a8 a9 a10 a11 etc to a8.avi a9.avi a11.avi etc? im having truoble with the regexp
[06:40] <cbill> magn3ts ok, so this is a blank ext4 drive with just the backup atm?
[06:40] <rigved> !rename | tom_
[06:40] <magn3ts> cbill, it has a primary partition with / then a logical with swap, let me get you fdisk output
[06:40] <magn3ts> ~paste
[06:40] <tom__> rigved, im having trouble with the regexp
[06:41] <steev_> TheUnnamed, use gedit/vim/emacs/nano?
[06:41] <EvaLuaTe> llo
[06:41] <rigved> tom_: do man rename...there are exapmles given of regex in it
[06:41] <magn3ts> cbill, http://paste.ubuntu.com/529814
[06:41] <lucent> NocturnalGuy: I package cdrtools for Ubuntu in my spare time, but that's kind of taboo in Ubuntu community :(
[06:41] <lucent> we're supposed to use brasero
[06:41] <TheUnnamed> I'm attempting to work on chronOS Linux (site link: http://www.chronoslinux.org/) and I can not figure out how to even extract the code
[06:42] <magn3ts> cbill, the data should be in /home/cole/Liz/new but the directory is empty
[06:42] <EvaLuaTe> I created a new Private Key and I can see it in "Passwords and Encryption keys" -> "My Personal Keys", and it works fine and all, but I can't figure out how I could export this key so that I will be able to sign E-Mails for example from another computer too. How would I do that?
[06:43] <cbill> magn3ts so, the drive has ubuntu installed on it?
[06:43] <lucent> EvaLuaTe: not familiar with the UI, there's a command to do it from command line
[06:43] <magn3ts> cbill, yes but I installed it on there, booted it, then recovered the data from the dying drive on it.
[06:43] <lucent> "export secret key to ascii"
[06:43] <rigved> EvaLuaTe: you need to export the secret-keys from the command-line
[06:43] <EvaLuaTe> lucent, well, that's the command like?
[06:43] <cbill> magn3ts, ok i isee
[06:43] <lucent> oh, sorry no
[06:44] <lucent> EvaLuaTe: I'm just going to read the manual page for 'gpg' command, and search the manual for 'export'
[06:44] <cbill> magn3ts So the data can not be seen but does seem to be occuping space right?
[06:44] <lucent> if you want to do that, might learn something from the experience more than I could just spoonfeeding it :P
[06:44] <EvaLuaTe> lucent, ok, I'll read the manual, thank you very much :)
[06:45] <magn3ts> cbill, precisely!
[06:45] <vincent_lee> clear
[06:45] <vincent_lee> clean
[06:45] <cbill> magn3ts you have hidden files shown to make sure its not hidden somehow?
[06:45] <lucent> pro tip, to search a manual when the default pager is 'less' (like it usually is on Ubuntu), you can use forward-slash '/', so it goes:   /export   (enter key)
[06:45] <magn3ts> cbill,  I'm doing `ls -la` as root. nada.
[06:46] <wangping> xxcx
[06:46] <magn3ts> cbill, and like I said, Disk Usage Analyzer can't see anything on the disc at all more than 2GB
[06:46] <vincent_lee> who can help me ?
[06:46] <EvaLuaTe> lucent, also, after executin this command, will I end up with a something.asc file? Because if that is the file, I have already managed to export it like that from the gui program, but that wasn't a big help, because after importing that one on another machine, the program says that I don't have any keys that would allow me to sign e-mails/whatever with them...
[06:46] <cbill> magn3ts this is an odd oe
[06:46] <magn3ts> !ask > vincent_lee
[06:47] <magn3ts> cbill, like I said, fsck whines about superblocks, but I simply don't know enough about FSes.
[06:47] <lucent> EvaLuaTe: yep!  there's private (aka secret) key, and public key, NEVER let anyone get your exported secret key
[06:47] <cbill> magn3ts im no expert either :(
[06:47] <lucent> it's normal to give everyone your public exported key though
[06:47] <rigved> http://paste.ubuntu.com/529816/
[06:47] <rigved> EvaLuaTe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/529816/
[06:47] <cbill> magn3ts is the data still savalagable from the old drive?
[06:48] <magn3ts> cbill, the drive is probably in pieces in a Seagate dumpster by now
[06:48] <EvaLuaTe> lucent, hmm. Well, tbqh I don't know if the program exported the private or the public key, but it didn;t work when I imported it on my other system. Anyway, I'll go through the manual, hopefully I'll find something in there...
[06:48] <cbill> magn3ts damn..
[06:48] <lucent> who was asking about cd burning?  found a link to my PPA for cdrtools @ https://launchpad.net/~eshattow/+archive/cdrtools-stable
[06:48] <strouthos> starting windows, my acer asked me if i wanted to run system restore. i chose not to, but after rebooting, all i get is ""
[06:48] <EvaLuaTe> rigved, thank you very much :-)
[06:49] <rigved> EvaLuaTe: you are welcome.
[06:49] <lucent> EvaLuaTe: the manual is huge, I tend to find something interesting in the manual and then google search for a blog post from some helpful person showing an example
[06:49] <lucent> much quicker for me to learn this way, maybe a good tip for you?
[06:50] <joeoshawa> has anyone here dual booted two ubuntu versions b4
[06:50] <strouthos> sorry. all i get is "error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue>". please help
[06:51] <SC-M> hello, i have problem installing my usb modem in ubuntu
[06:51] <lucent> fail.  which filesystem is it?
[06:51] <lucent> SC-M: plug it into a windows (or mac) machine, does a cdrom device appear on the computer with install files?
[06:51] <lucent> if so... then you're out of luck until the device support gets tweaked in the linux kernel ;)
[06:51] <faceless_> so how do I make the command key act like the control key(i have a apple macbook pro) in gnome?
[06:52] <SC-M> lucent: the ubuntu, not mac or windows
[06:52] <joeoshawa> lucent you have experience with grub2
[06:52] <lucent> faceless_: *maybe* System|Preferences|Keyboard
[06:52] <TheUnnamed> I can't figure out what to do with the files im told to get
[06:52] <SC-M> lucent: i want to install it in ubuntu
[06:52] <strouthos> lucent. i believe it was ext3 or 4.
[06:52] <SC-M> there's no response with the debpackage or something wit'it.
[06:53] <lucent> joeoshawa: grub2 and lots of other things where data go boom
[06:53] <TheUnnamed> they tell me to get a standard linux kernel source and a patch file i think i need to use the patch file some how but im not sure how
[06:53] <SC-M> you have grub2 problem?
[06:54] <lucent> strouthos: there's so many things that could be wrong, I am thinking of at least 15 different kinds of things that could be bad, arh...
[06:55] <joeoshawa> yeah grub2 works for linux install 1 but not 2
[06:55] <skyfollian> anyone uses n900 here? i have a question, my home folder of my phone suddenly got no space left, osso rss feed reading taking up almost 100% cpu usage
[06:55] <skyfollian> what's wrong
[06:55] <lucent> skyfollian: #maemo ?   also, reflash time.
[06:55] <skyfollian> reflash time?
[06:55] <TheUnnamed> #theUnnamed
[06:55] <TheUnnamed> no doesnt work
[06:55] <faceless_> so how do I make the command key act like the control key(i have a apple macbook pro) in gnome?
[06:55] <skyfollian> darn
[06:56] <lucent> yeah.
[06:56] <lucent> remember to make a backup to microsd before you reflash
[06:56] <skyfollian> no other way round?
[06:56] <lucent> how much time do you want to hunt and peck for the tens of things that are screwed up? y'know, just good advice here
[06:57] <skyfollian> hahaha, good one, thanks
[06:57] <lucent> save time, backup and reflash. I do it pretty regularly
[06:57] <skyfollian> okie dokie
[06:57] <joeoshawa> lucient here is my grub.cfg

[06:58] <joeoshawa> thank you for helping
[06:58] <teco> hello
[06:58] <strouthos> lucent. i see. but i just have my mobile phone to figure it out. ls gives "(hd0) (hd0,msdos8) ... (hd0,msdos1)
[06:58] <lucent> you know what's cool?  take a look, is grub's root mounted?
[06:58] <teco> I am having some problem with package installation in 10.10... see http://paste.ubuntu.com/529419/ ...this error is reported still the package installs... any idea to solve it?
[06:59] <lucent> most Ubuntu installs have grub root as a directory within the root filesystem, btw so it's going to be /boot on the rootfs, or it will be mounted to /boot on the rootfs
[06:59] <wrektjet> my video devices think my tv card is the ca,era how can iadjust the default device
[06:59] <TheUnnamed> can someone please help I think my problem has something to do with a patch file

[07:01] <strouthos> lucent. how can i find out? i really cannot google with the phone
[07:01] <joeoshawa> it gave me an option my bro always told me to put grub in the mbr
[07:01] <lucent> strouthos: 'mount' or if your mtab is hosed, it would be 'cat /proc/mounts'
[07:01] <lucent> we want to know if grubroot is its own fs, or just a directory on the rootfs
[07:02] <lucent> that sounds complicated, I can't think of an easier way to say it
[07:02] <lucent> do you understand?
[07:02] <faceless_> so how do I make the command key act like the control key(i have a apple macbook pro) in gnome?
[07:02] <lucent> faceless_: really?
[07:02] <e26063> lucent: thanks for the tip.  I was wondering if that was all that was needed.  so if I want to have backup admins able to restart the script, they must be in the sudoers file...
[07:03] <strouthos> lucent. both unknown commands
[07:03] <lucent> strouthos: whaat. 'mount' is like,..  it's always there.
[07:03] <skyfollian> lucent: how come ls command is not found in n900?
[07:03] <skyfollian> i can only use find
[07:04] <joeoshawa> lucent it looks like it is seeing my other partitions as ext2
[07:04] <joeoshawa> but they are ext3
[07:04] <lucent> skyfollian: wow.  your 'ls' is hosed. that's kind of sad and funny :)
[07:04] <skyfollian> hahaha, what went wrong? reflash time, ok, i know
[07:04] <joeoshawa> and i have no idea what the msdos thing is i don't have any ms stuff on my computer
[07:04] <lucent> skyfollian: yeah. :)
[07:05] <magn3ts> !chinese
[07:05] <strouthos> lucent. thats what i thought too. but what now?
[07:05] <skyfollian> chinese channel, nice
[07:05] <lucent> joeoshawa: tip, it says in grub2 documentation buried under piles of manure that 'msdos' refers to the disklabel and not to the OS
[07:05] <wrektjet> how do you control the webcam default?
[07:06] <joeoshawa> ok so what about the booting thing is there any way to make grub2 see the 10.04 install
[07:06] <joeoshawa> or am i doing another install
[07:07] <lucent> sorry guys and gals, losing interest.   no big spenders :P
[07:07] <joeoshawa> i would i am broke lol
[07:07] <joeoshawa> i know a chick gives great head lol
[07:07] <rigved> which is the command to cancatenate file contents?

[07:08] <NightDragon> hello all
[07:08] <joeoshawa> hello
[07:08] <NightDragon> how do i configure a ubuntu box to boot into a shell instead of into gnome?
[07:09] <collosi> NightDragon:  single user mode
[07:09] <rigved> nomad99, collosi: so - cat filename1 - filename2 > filename3
[07:09] <llutz_> NightDragon: add "text" to grubs boot-options
[07:09] <joeoshawa> uhhh ctrl alt backspace i think
[07:09] <Leoneof> hi, is there are torrent for Ubuntu source CDs ?
[07:09] <strouthos> lucent. is there any live cd shell. when running live, it stops at busybox. can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow
[07:09] <joeoshawa> but if you blow up not my fault
[07:09] <llutz_> rigved: cat file1 file2 file x > newfile
[07:09] <NightDragon> okay, llutz where do i find boot-options
[07:09] <llutz_> NightDragon: /etc/default/grub or for just one time, at grub-menu
[07:09] <rigved> llutz: ok. thanx
[07:10] <rigved> nomad99, collosi: thanx
[07:10] <Jordan_U> joeoshawa: There are options for both Ubuntu installations in that grub.cfg.
[07:10] <joeoshawa> i know but it doesn't boot
[07:10] <NightDragon> llutz_: GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
[07:10] <NightDragon> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet text"
[07:10] <NightDragon> i already put it there
[07:11] <Jordan_U> joeoshawa: What happens when you try to boot it?
[07:11] <llutz_> NightDragon: sudo update-grub
[07:11] <NightDragon> rgr
[07:11] <kaushal> is there a way to have a condition like use wireless connection for vpn and wired connections for browsing ?
[07:11] <wrektjet> how do change the camera defaults in programs like webcam viewer or within empathy
[07:11] <llutz_> NightDragon: grep "quiet text" /boot/grub/grub.cfg           to make sure it was added
[07:12] <wrektjet> so that it reads the proper dev /camer2 vs /sp
[07:12] <NightDragon> kk ty
[07:12] <llutz_> kaushal: use ip/route  for that
[07:13] <kaushal> llutz_: ok
[07:13] <kaushal> llutz_: any example ?
[07:14] <strouthos> lucent. will initramfs from the live cd do any good?
[07:14] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm trying to run a ruby script at run time, and it's not able to find a gem that is actually installed.  any idea what the problem might be?
[07:14] <llutz_> kaushal: you have to specify different devices for different routes.
[07:15] <kaushal> ok
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: i'd ask in #ruby too
[07:15] <kaushal> llutz_: still not fully understood
[07:15] <skyfollian> lucent: would n900 catch virus? lol, even yes, still reflash is the final solution
[07:15] <llutz_> kaushal: something like "route add net <your-vpn-net> <wireless-dev>
[07:15] <andybiker> what is the best network monitor that keeps track of internet usage (downloads) over a month
[07:15] <andybiker> ?
[07:16] <kaushal> andybiker: bandwidthd
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> andybiker: outright best doesn't exist
[07:16] <e26063> sara2010: did that work?
[07:16] <kaushal> llutz_: ok
[07:16] <kaushal> llutz_: so for browsing ?
[07:17] <e26063> andybiker: nagaos3 and/or munin
[07:17] <andybiker> kaushal, bandwidthd can be reset every month a
[07:17] <sara2010> there is some error
[07:17] <uLinux> hello
[07:17] <andybiker> ?
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> andybiker: snmp is also an option, just reset the packet count mib once a month
[07:17] <llutz_> kaushal: make wired your default-route to catch all not rerouted before
[07:17] <kaushal> ok
[07:17] <e26063> sara2010: please post the new error text
[07:17] <llutz_> kaushal: use your google-foo to find examples, shouldn't be hard
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> andybiker: there is no best, there are options with different features but what is best for one is worst for another
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> andybiker: there is no best anything in life, even living isn't best for some people

[07:20] <teco> hello
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> Hi teco
[07:20] <andybiker> I'm thinking of an easy to understand logger for a pensioner
[07:20] <andybiker> newbie
[07:20] <teco> where to report Ubuntu 10.10 bugs????
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> !bug | teco
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> andybiker: bandwidthd seems ok
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> !info bandwidthd
[07:21] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: I already suggested him :)
[07:21] <andybiker> I'll install it and give it a go. Thanks
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: sorry, andybiker as kaushal suggested earlier ;)
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: credit given :)
[07:22] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: :D
[07:22] <andybiker> thanks kaushal and keep taking the tablets ActionParsnip !
[07:22] <andybiker> :)
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> andybiker: every day
[07:23] <andybiker> see your doctor about upping the dose
[07:24]  * ActionParsnip bets bandwidthd is a gui for snmp
[07:25] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: np
[07:25] <kaushal> andybiker: np
[07:26] <llutz_> ActionParsnip: no snmp depends but libpcap, so i guess it monitors on its own
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> llutz_: strange. Packet counting andsuch is what snmp does, why reinvent the wheel
[07:28] <frustro> so, moving my webhosting to home. anyone have experience with virtual site hosting? I have 9 domains and am used to WHM/cPanel. Any good guides?
[07:28] <TheUnnamed> how long should a patch file take to apply
[07:28] <Underbyte> one more question, how can i add modules to be loaded automatically into the kernel?
[07:29] <frustro> I am familliar with centOS and virtualmin/webmin to manage that, but I thought I woudl try ubuntu
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Oh yeah meant to ask, in unity. When I have a maximised app and I click the button on the left bar, it just goes about 25 pixels smaller around the edge. How can I make it hide/show?
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Underbyte: add it in /etc/modules
[07:30] <Underbyte> ty
[07:30] <needsassist> i am a noob to ubuntu and i am trying to install 10.10 using a usb stick, when it ask me to restart after installing on the hard (as a stand alone OS) do i need to redo the boot sequence before the restart or just leave it be?
[07:30] <sagaci> needsassist: leave it
[07:30] <sagaci> needsassist: but remove the usb
[07:30] <sara2010> e26063:   there
[07:31] <needsassist> see when i removed the stick it just gave me a black screen
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> needsassist: grub is installed and ready to rock so remove usb and boot to the new OS
[07:31] <needsassist> and never loaded the os
[07:31] <frustro> needsassist, did you wait fro it to tell you to eject the media?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> needsassist: in google search for: ubuntu black screen boot ,and use the ubuntugeek link
[07:31] <needsassist> nope and there lies my screw up :( thank you very much for the assistance :)
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> needsassist: i'd get a link but my connection is slow and its quicker for me to explain
[07:32] <frustro> needsassist, after you tell it to reboot, it has to unmount the drive along with a few other things.
[07:32] <frustro> it will tell you when to pull the stick
[07:33] <sosaited> How can I use a 3d-cube with an image as background in Compiz?
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> needsassist: pull it when you see the bios system splash screen when you boot
[07:33] <changee10> Tamila chat pannalama?
[07:34] <Jacen> how can I intall 9.10 using Wubi?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Jacen: download and md5 test wubi.exe for karmic, or download the karmic iso , md5 test it, mount it with magicdisk and install from there
[07:35] <boxbeatsy> does anybody know if running a script in rc.local is the exact same as running the script immediately after the boot sequence finishes? like, are all the environmental conditions the same?
[07:35] <frustro> any good tut's for virtual hosting on ununtu LAMP? 9 domains.
[07:35] <Jacen> thanks
[07:35] <frustro> *ubuntu
[07:35] <denysonique> frustro, what exactly would you like help with?
[07:36] <andybiker> need to reboot...
[07:36] <denysonique> andybiker, why?
[07:36] <mbleigh> hi, i'm installing ubuntu on an hp mini 1000 netbook and i was wondering if it's possible to get the wireless drivers working WITHOUT plugging it into ethernet
[07:36] <changee10> Tamilil pesalamaa?
[07:36] <mbleigh> my internet is via a 4G hotspot and i have no router with connectivity
[07:36] <denysonique> mbleigh, you need to obtain them from somewhere
[07:36] <frustro> denysonique, i am hosting with a LAMP cPanel host, all 9 domains. got static @ home now, and want to host @ home.
[07:36] <denysonique> mbleigh, if not via eth then via cd/usb
[07:36] <frustro> denysonique, i have used centOS and webmin/virtualmin b4
[07:36] <mbleigh> denysonique: yeah i can download the packages but there's so many dependencies i quickly give up
[07:37] <denysonique> mbleigh, there is a way to generate a download script
[07:37] <frustro> denysonique, looking for good tut on virtual hosting. found 2008 article.
[07:37] <frustro> denysonique, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/09/setting-up-name-based-virtual-hosting/
[07:37] <denysonique> frustro, its simple
[07:37] <denysonique> frustro, get ubuntu server
[07:37] <denysonique> or any other linux distro
[07:37] <denysonique> frustro, then you need to edit one apache file
[07:38] <mbleigh> denysonique: any links as to how to do so?
[07:38] <denysonique> /etc/apache2/http.conf for example where you define your vhosts
[07:38] <frustro> denysonique, cool, LAMP is such a PITA on centOS....
[07:38] <denysonique> mbleigh, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html
[07:39] <frustro> denysonique, thanks, will read up.
[07:39] <denysonique> mbleigh, let me fireup my ubuntu vm and see
[07:40] <andybiker> denysonique, new install of xubuntu updated
[07:40] <mbleigh> this is specifically the package i need: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/bcmwl-kernel-source
[07:40] <denysonique> mbleigh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Use the Synaptic package download script
[07:41] <mbleigh> denysonique: thanks, looking into it
[07:41] <denysonique> andybiker, the reboot is only for the kernel I guess
[07:41] <denysonique> andybiker, usually if you don't s2ram you can wait until you naturally switch the PC off
[07:41] <andybiker> ok
[07:42] <andybiker> I've installed bandwidthd, but can't find it in the menus!
[07:42] <andybiker> I notice there is no run command eiter...
[07:43] <denysonique> andybiker, probably you use it via web iface
[07:43] <denysonique> andybiker, what do you want to use it for?
[07:43] <needsassist> to this chat room i gives big hugs, to not be trolled and assistance offered by so many warms my heart and soothes my acheing brain :D good night for now i get to roll in the glory that is maverick meerkat.

[07:46] <denysonique> the way I wanted
[07:47] <MadCarburetor> Theres no sound menu in my top panel
[07:47] <denysonique> MadCarburetor, rigthclick->Add to panel, then search for volume control applet
[07:47] <richardcavell> if I type uname -a and it says 'i686', does that mean 32-bit or 64-bit?
[07:47] <denysonique> MadCarburetor, if your sound already works
[07:48] <denysonique> !google i686
[07:48] <airtonix> denysonique, ? volume control applet ?
[07:48] <blackshirt> richardcavell: i think it was 32 bit
[07:48] <chamin> denysonique: y?
[07:48] <denysonique> airtonix, yes gnome applet
[07:48] <denysonique> chamin, ?
[07:48] <airtonix> denysonique, is that only in maverick ? its not in lucid.
[07:48] <JoeMaverickSett> airtonix: it's called indicator applet.
[07:49] <MadCarburetor> nothing shows up when i search volume control
[07:49] <airtonix> JoeMaverickSett, ah and therefor NOT called Volume Control Applet
[07:49] <airtonix>  /cough
[07:49] <airtonix> MadCarburetor, run gnome-volume-control-applet
[07:49] <niftylettuce> \o later guys
[07:49] <richardcavell> well how do I tell if my Ubuntu is 32-bit or 64-bit?
[07:50] <airtonix> richardcavell, uname -a doesn't tell you ?
[07:50] <richardcavell> airtonix: it tells me i686
[07:50] <richardcavell> what does that mean?
[07:50] <MadCarburetor> ok, i got the volume control applet thing now
[07:50] <MadCarburetor> but
[07:51] <airtonix> richardcavell, therefor not 64bit
[07:51] <richardcavell> ok
[07:51] <denysonique> !help
[07:51] <denysonique> WTF?
[07:51] <denysonique> ubottu, tell me how to get help on using you
[07:51] <sara2010> skype: relocation error: skype: symbol snd_device_name_hint, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference
[07:51] <airtonix> denysonique, i suggest you read the ubuntu wiki

[07:51] <Madpilot> ubottu, tell denysonique about yourself
[07:51] <cheater99> hi
[07:51] <blackshirt> richardcavell: i686 is for 32 bit compatible processor

[07:51] <cheater99> what will be the next LTS release?
[07:51] <sara2010> skype: relocation error: skype: symbol snd_device_name_hint, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference
[07:52] <richardcavell> blackshirt: well it's not 'for 32 bit compatible', it's a 32-bit build
[07:52] <richardcavell> right?
[07:52] <plitter> can someone please help me with making a live usb ubuntu from arch?
[07:52] <MadCarburetor> when i'm playing music in Rhythmbox and i close the window, isen't there supposed to be like, a sound menu thingy in the top panel from which i can pause/play and stuff
[07:52] <airtonix> richardcavell, correct. but you wanted to know if the build was 32 or 64bit ... not whether your cpu was 32 or 64bit ?
[07:52] <plitter> i am trying to fix my gf asus
[07:52] <airtonix> !details | plitter
[07:52] <richardcavell> airtonix: right
[07:52] <blackshirt> richardcavell: maybe... but it refer to 32 bit architecture
[07:52] <localh0st> hello, i've got one question: coult i put this processor into PC (socket 775): http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=31728&processor=T7250&spec-codes=SLA3T,SLA49 ?
[07:53] <localh0st> could(
[07:53] <richardcavell> My CPU is 64-bit.  It's an i3
[07:53] <airtonix> localh0st, this is not a hardware channel
[07:53] <localh0st> :/
[07:53] <airtonix> richardcavell, thats nice, whats your point ?
[07:54] <blackshirt> richardcavell: okey..that's right...your system installed is 32 bit..
[07:54] <Jordan_U> airtonix: Try asking in ##hardware.
[07:54] <miha> upgrade of 10.04 doesnt work (Reading database ... 257153 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace libudev0 151-12.1 (using .../libudev0_151-12.2_amd64.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libudev0 ...     and hangs for ten minutes and more...
[07:54] <airtonix> Jordan_U,  i think you misclicked.
[07:54] <miha> who marked this stable? doh
[07:55] <blackshirt> miha: i think maybe better to use pastebin to show your complete output
[07:55] <airtonix> miha, lesson learned about upgrades. clean installs are always better.
[07:55] <miha> blackshirt that's complete output
[07:55] <Jordan_U> airtonix: Indeed. Sorry.
[07:55] <MadCarburetor> How do i get the PROPER ubuntu 10.10 sound menu
[07:55] <miha> it's unpacking it for 10 minutes.. without doing anything with CPU or disk
[07:56] <elkng> I have ip-addres,login and password for VPN server that gave me internet,how can I establish vpn channel to this VPN server? In windows I just have to enter this data into "Wizard for network connections" and thats all, how can I do this in linux with openvpn?
[07:56] <airtonix> MacGyverNL, "proper" is subjective... if you mean "default" for lucid and maverick then you need to app the Indicator Applet back to your panel .
[07:56] <miha> blackshirt i dont care, but you'll have to teach users how to delet dpkg lock and dpkg --configure -a to restore
[07:56] <plitter> I am trying to fix my gfs asus, it had ubuntu 10.10 netbook before, but the mic didnt work so we tried a lot of stuff... long story short decided to install ubuntu again. and the installation goes ok until it stops saying something about not being able to config apt. I have an arch system but i dont know how to make a live usb ubuntu from it. Someone know how?
[07:56] <MadCarburetor> wait, i got it
[07:57] <MadCarburetor> added the indicator applet again
[07:57] <airtonix> Fancy that
[07:57] <blackshirt> miha: what you mean with delete dpkg lock ??
[07:58] <MadCarburetor> now how do i get rid of that other volume control thingy i was told to add from the terminal
[07:58] <Jordan_U> elkng: Configure it in System > Preferences > Network Connections, in the VPN tab. Depending on the VPN you may need to install the Network Manager plugin for that protocall before it will show up.
[07:58] <blackshirt> miha: are you using do-release-upgrade with root priviledge ?
[07:58] <airtonix> MadCarburetor, killall gnome-volume-control-applet
[07:59] <mawst> Does anyone know if Lightzone is any good?
[07:59] <airtonix> MadCarburetor, if that doesn't work don;t worry because it won;t be there next time you login
[07:59] <richardcavell> I have a brand new Windows machine that is giving me very flakey Internet connectivity.  I have a Realtek NIC built into a Gigabyte motherboard.  I've connected it via a 30 m Ethernet cable to a router.  I can't get Windows 7 to connect to the Internet in a stable manner.  I've booted into ubuntu just to test the hardware and it isn't connecting either.  Can someone help me to try to get online within Ubuntu to see if my hardware is
[07:59] <richardcavell> working?
[07:59] <MadCarburetor> ok
[07:59] <MadCarburetor> thanks
[08:00] <blackshirt> richardcavell: i think, Realtex NIC works on ubuntu
[08:00] <airtonix>  richardcavell ? if you normally get an ip address from your adsl modem via DHCp then you should already be connected when you plug the ethernet cable in
[08:01] <richardcavell> airtonix: well the router's set up to serve DHCP and it works with Mac and my NAS and other people's computers.  But my Ubuntu session is not online
[08:01] <airtonix> richardcavell, a live usb or livecd i assume ?
[08:01] <richardcavell> airtonix: yeah I just booted from the 32-bit live CD
[08:02] <airtonix> richardcavell, and you're obviously not typing from it right now... (and therefore can not give useful lspci pastebin outputs )
[08:02] <richardcavell> airtonix: no I have to retype on my Mac
[08:03] <collosi> richardcavell: are you getting an IP address from the router?
[08:03] <airtonix> richardcavell, can you see what lscpi shows you? does it list ethernet, or network device ? if so then does ifconfig show a device with a ip address you are used to seeing ?
[08:03] <richardcavell> collosi: I don't think so.  How would I know?  What do I type into the command line in ubuntu?
[08:03] <airtonix> richardcavell, first type : lspci
[08:03] <frustro> denysonique, should i name the server a my main FQDN or a sub of my FQDN?
[08:03] <frustro> for hostname
[08:04] <richardcavell> lspci shows me Realtek SemiConductor Co. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller rev 03
[08:04] <richardcavell> among other things
[08:04] <airtonix> richardcavell, ok then what does : ifconfig
[08:04] <frustro> denysonique, like websrvr.domain.com or just domain.com
[08:04] <dogarrhea1> anyone know what openvpn[5569]: TCP/UDP: Socket bind failed on local address [undef]:1194: Address already in use means?  netstat -pant shows nothing on port 1194
[08:04] <richardcavell> airtonix: I might pastebin it.  It'll take me a minute
[08:04] <dogarrhea1> why are errors so cryptic and unuseful in computers these days
[08:05] <rchavik> how do i make my vim remember the last position i was in a file?
[08:05] <dogarrhea1> if the error says port 1194 is in use... and netstat -pant doesn't even display any number resembling 1194, what is that supposed to mean?
[08:05] <dogarrhea1> i can draw circular squares that are both circles and squares?
[08:05] <dogarrhea1> left is right.. up is down
[08:05] <airtonix> richardcavell, also, you might want to check the network socket... if there are lights and they are blinking fairly rapidly then you most likely have an ip address from your router
[08:05] <rigved> if i remove compiz completely from my ubuntu 10.04, then will it cause problems? will metacity be used by default in this case?
[08:06] <airtonix> richardcavell, the network socket on the ubuntu machine that is
[08:06] <rchavik> nvrmind..
[08:06] <richardcavell> airtonix: yeah, it's blinking lights at me
[08:06] <richardcavell> http://pastebin.com/je0WkWzD
[08:07] <Jordan_U> richardcavell: No, yes.
[08:07] <airtonix> richardcavell, ok ubuntu also has a bonjour client installed so you can communicate with your mac machines fairly easy.
[08:07] <Jordan_U> richardcavell: Sorry (again).
[08:07] <Jordan_U> rigved: No, yes.
[08:08] <airtonix> richardcavell, what happens if you run this : sudo service network-manager restart
[08:08] <richardcavell> airtonix: network-manager start/running, process 5155
[08:08] <airtonix> richardcavell, and the icon in the panel ?
[08:09] <lollan> Hi, I'd like to mount a network drive on a folder. Ubuntu does it when I go to network and click on it but then I can't find the path on a terminal. Can someone tell me how to mount automatically (when avaiable) the hard drive into a folder ?
[08:09] <richardcavell> airtonix: What icon?  I have a wireless icon that keeps cycling (my computer has no Wi-Fi device) and when I click on it it gives me a menu including 'Auto eth0'
[08:10] <llutz_> lollan: add it to /etc/fstab, run a cronjob to check the availability
[08:10] <airtonix> richardcavell, the network connection icon in the top right of the screen, when you left click it. does your card show up ?
[08:10] <lollan> llutz_: any tutorial on that ?
[08:10] <airtonix> richardcavell, have you tried left clicking auto eth0 ?
[08:11] <Basilic> bonjour a tous
[08:11] <Basilic> j'ai un petit soucy avec le son sous ubuntu 10.04 avec gnome
[08:11] <richardcavell> airtonix: It says 'Wired network disconnected' in a popup thing
[08:11] <llutz_> lollan: cifs-share or nfs?
[08:12] <airtonix> richardcavell, means it'
[08:12] <Jordan_U> !fr | Basilic
[08:12] <zhang> zai
[08:12] <airtonix> richardcavell, it's not getting a DHCP reply.
[08:12] <richardcavell> airtonix: well there are about 6 other machines connected to that router
[08:12] <richardcavell> including the Mac that I'm currently typing on
[08:12] <airtonix> richardcavell, is your router setup to only allow certain computers to connect ?
[08:12] <richardcavell> airtonix: no
[08:12] <richardcavell> I've checked that
[08:13] <richardcavell> And this Windows machine does work, sometimes
[08:13] <richardcavell> Sometimes it dosn't work and sometimes it does
[08:13] <lollan> llutz_: i don't know to be honest, It's written Windows shares, if that can help
[08:13] <airtonix> richardcavell, do the others use addresses like 192.168.1.0 or 10.0.0.0 ?
[08:13] <richardcavell> and I can spend hours on IRC trying to fix it but it's random
[08:13] <vesh> #ubuntu
[08:13] <richardcavell> airtonix: my Mac currently has 192.168.1.100
[08:14] <airtonix> richardcavell, ok on the ubuntu machine try this (assuming its an address thats not already used ) : sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.249 && sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[08:15] <ross> arquijuv
[08:15] <airtonix> richardcavell, if you can ping 192.168.1.1 after than then there is something funky going on with your router or the network card
[08:15] <llutz_> lollan: thats cifs. add a line like: //server/share /your/mountpoint cifs noauto,credentials=/home/you/cred.file,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0         to /etc/fstab (change it to your situation)
[08:15] <richardcavell> airtonix: okay I just typed that command
[08:15] <richardcavell> no reply just a prompt
[08:15] <airtonix> richardcavell, it most likely wont give you one.. next try : ping 192.168.1.1
[08:16] <MACscr_lappy> i am trying to boot up a ubuntu 10.4 live cd, but it seems to just hang at a blinking cursor. ive never even gotten a prompt. It did load the first splash screen that just has like 2 graphics at the bottom, but then thats about it. Doesnt seem like its trying to load anything. I have a quad core 2.9ghz with 8gb ram. So its not a lack of ram for sure
[08:16] <richardcavell> ping 192.168.1.1 gives me 'From 192.168.1.249  .... Destination host unreasonable'
[08:16] <airtonix> richardcavell, it should start spewing ms times back at you
[08:16] <lollan> thanks llutz_ btw. so this line should do the trick ?
[08:16] <richardcavell> unreachable
[08:16] <llutz_> lollan: then create a short script like:line1   ping -c1 <ip.of.your.windows-machine> || exit 0         line2 mount /your/mountpoint
[08:16] <richardcavell> I type ping 192.168.1.1 and it gives me 'From 192.168.1.249 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable"
[08:16] <llutz_> lollan: and make that a cronjob running every ... say 5 minutes
[08:16] <airtonix> richardcavell, ok. either something wrong with the card or the router... assuming the card works. then you most likely need to modprobe some drivers.
[08:17] <llutz_> lollan: ups, add "users" to the fstab options
[08:17] <lollan> llutz_: I didn't get that last one
[08:17] <airtonix> richardcavell,  to make it easier to find info about the card can you pastebin the output of : lspci -nn | grep Ethernet
[08:18] <llutz_> lollan: //server/share /your/mountpoint cifs noauto,credentials=/home/you/cred.file,gid=1000,uid=1000,users 0 0
[08:21] <lollan> llutz_: I was more talking about that line :  < llutz_> lollan: ups, add "users" to the fstab options
[08:21] <ejv> hey guys, recently expanded a hardware based raid that's using GPT, now something I find odd, when I fdisk -l, it reports 12TB which is what my controller reports, now when i use parted, removed the old partition, created a new bigger one using the same sector alignment, it only reports 10T as my max size... what's going on here?
[08:21] <llutz_> lollan: the last was the corrected fstab-line i meant
[08:23] <lollan> thanks a lot llutz_

[08:29] <toader> hi, "Linux sister1 2.6.32-25-generic-pae #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 21:01:33 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux"  Is my Ubuntu 64bit or 32bit? thanks
[08:29] <ndxtg> in 2 or 3 sentences, could anyone please tell me why I should update from 9.04 to 10.10 ?
[08:29] <llutz_> toader: 32
[08:29] <llutz_> toader: at least the kernel
[08:29] <ndxtg> toader: i686 = 32, x86_64 = 64
[08:29] <toader> ok, thanks
[08:30] <airtonix> ndxtg, you shouldn't.
[08:31] <ndxtg> airtonix: any reason?
[08:32] <jelena> can someone help?
[08:32] <richardcavell> jelena: what's your question?
[08:33] <jelena> i try to reinstal nvidia drivers from omgubuntu site
[08:33] <airtonix> ndxtg, because you can't go from 9.04 to 10,10
[08:33] <freeburn_> i think ubuntu should have this feature to upgrade to whatever version
[08:33] <ndxtg> airtonix: oh really?? so is it possible to upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04 ?
[08:34] <jelena> and i have acer aspire 6920g, sudo sh ./NV dont work
[08:34] <freeburn_> fedora has it...you can upgrade from fedora 10 to fedora 14 if you want
[08:34] <jelena> and now i have only ubuntu logo with 5 red dots on screen
[08:34] <demon002> Anyone point me to a tutorial for installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix | Backtrack 4-Final Dual boot?
[08:34] <jelena> can someone help?
[08:34] <ndxtg> airtonix: never mind, I've just googled it. Know the reason now, must go each-by-each distribution
[08:34] <MACscr_lappy2> will ubuntu run pretty well from a 300x flash drive?
[08:35] <airtonix> ndxtg, i recommend you 1) back up your home folder. (and any other data). 2) do a clean install of 10,10 3) plan the partitions like so : 1-swap(no mountpoint) : 2g, 2-system (mount: / ) 20gb  3-home (mount: /home ) the rest of the drive space.
[08:35] <airtonix> ndxtg, also, only do a dist-upgrade if you want to play with broken debris.
[08:35] <freeburn_> Mac-scr_lappy:if you boot from removable media...
[08:36] <freeburn_> it will run slowly , install it in hard drive to get true experience
[08:36] <jelena> please how to fix this
[08:37] <freeburn_> jelena whats the problem?
[08:37] <airtonix> ndxtg, you might have no problems or you might end up with a totally broken system.... a clean install with that partition plan will help you do future clean installs far more easil and more reliably than any dist-upgrade will.
[08:37] <ndxtg> airtonix: because I have a lot of settings (i.e. thunder bird email accounts, shortcuts to network drive, compiz, cairo, firefox addons etc.)... cannot install from scratch now... it may take a month to re-config these things
[08:37] <jelena> i already write above
[08:37] <airtonix> ndxtg, all those settings are in your home folder
[08:37] <demon002> Anyone point me to a tutorial for installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix | Backtrack 4-Final Dual boot?
[08:38] <freeburn_> you need to say sh for ubuntu...
[08:38] <freeburn_> ./NV should do it
[08:38] <freeburn_> whats ./NV anyway
[08:38] <jelena> command from omgubuntu site to install new nvidia drivers
[08:38] <airtonix> ndxtg, you'll have to do them from scratch anyway if your upgrade fails ... a stitch in time saves nince
[08:38] <airtonix> nine*
[08:39] <spectacular> hi, i have a eee-pc running ubuntu.  i installed ubuntu over a year ago i think, using a specialized kernel/installation for netbooks, which i found somewhere on the internet.  it used normal gnome, and i loved it.  recently it's been nagging me to upgrade to a newer distribution because the old one wasn't supported anymore.  I resisted because i was worried things wouldn't work as nicely as they were, but finally relented.  it s
[08:39] <spectacular> eems to have replaced my gnome interface with some kind of wacky blend of gnome with something else -- i still have my panels, top and bottom, but instead of showing a desktop it shows weird big icons and a menu along the left... and everything moves rather slowly.  how can i get it to return to normal gnome?
[08:39] <freeburn_> have you installed the driver during a x session?
[08:39] <freeburn_> you should turn of gdm and then try to install binary driver
[08:39] <airtonix> ndxtg, up to you really... im just sayin... since you want to end up at 10.10 you'll be enduring the gamble of two upgrades
[08:39] <jelena> i do everithing from here http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/02/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-in-ubuntu/
[08:40] <morgoth_2001> Hello
[08:40] <freeburn_> besides binary drivers are never a good idea because it sometimes breaks the kernel....
[08:40] <petan> spectacular: I do not know new gnome but what are you sure it is actually gnome?
[08:40] <airtonix> jelena, next time you write out your issue, keep it on one line... trying to piece together your issue as its spread out over five lines interspersed through other peoples messages is not easy.
[08:40] <petan> morgoth_2001: hi
[08:41] <jelena> but when i try to install new driver with command:sudo sh ./NV,  i have something like this dont work
[08:41] <jelena> sorry for that i am a noob and i need help
[08:41] <airtonix> jelena, so after you downloaded the .run file from Nvidia website, did you press ctrl alt f2 and then type : sudo service gdm stop (then continue on to running the .run file )?
[08:41] <MACscr_lappy2> anyone know of a app for ubuntu that will kind of work like the windows restore feature? I want to play with different video driver setups, but if if screw things up, i just want to roll back things to my last "checkpoint"
[08:41] <jelena> yes
[08:41] <freeburn_> have you followed it completely , i mean have you turned off your graphical desktop?
[08:42] <airtonix> jelena, and what exactly was it saying about it not working ?
[08:42] <airtonix> jelena, did it say not found or that it can;t continue because the X server is still running ?
[08:42] <ndxtg> airtonix: the reasons I want to update is because 9.04 hang on shutdown (network drives not unmounted thing), even they are unmounted, system may hang sometimes.... also Wifi drops randomly if overloading ~30MB/s
[08:42] <jelena> sorry but like this dont work or something like that
[08:43] <demon002> Anyone point me to a tutorial for installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix | Backtrack 4-Final Dual boot?
[08:43] <airtonix> ndxtg, they're good reasons... but i *highly* recommend that you put /home on a separate partition so that you simply skip all this upgrade nonsense and simply clean install (and tell the installer to use you old home partition as the new home)
[08:43] <freeburn_> jelena whats your kernel version
[08:43] <jelena> the last 10.10
[08:43] <xerox1> is there a tool to do something like a rsync between a public http-server and a local directory?
[08:43] <petan> jelena: that is not kernel version
[08:44] <jelena> ok i know but it it the latest ubuntu 10.10
[08:44] <jelena> sorry
[08:44] <freeburn_> 10.10 has a new kernel 2.6.35 series ....
[08:44] <airtonix> xerox1, a public server that you don't have to use a username and password to access ?
[08:44] <xerox1> airtonix: exactly
[08:44] <ejv> xerox1: wget might be your best bet
[08:44] <jelena> is any way to retrive my data?
[08:44] <freeburn_> and i'm concerned about wheather nvidia driver works with new kernel
[08:45] <freeburn_> yes...
[08:45] <airtonix> xerox1, well that depends on the server but i just assume you simply use rsync with the ftp method ?
[08:45] <ndxtg> airtonix: have never tried before because I thought if I install thunderbird for an example, it may not realise the thing inside /home folder, and so other programs
[08:45] <freeburn_> do you have the grub menu?
[08:45] <ttocskcaj> Hey
[08:45] <jelena> no
[08:45] <xerox1> airtonix: ah, didn't know there is such one
[08:45] <airtonix> ndxtg, well that's where it puts its settings in the first place.
[08:45] <petan> ttocskcaj: need help?
[08:45] <xerox1> airtonix: thx
[08:46] <airtonix> xerox1, don't quote me... it's just an assumption (since it has a ssh method, i just assume it has a ftp method)
[08:46] <xerox1> ejv: i think i would have to write a short script to do that with wget...
[08:46] <ejv> xerox1: probably
[08:46] <freeburn_> type crtl+alt+f3 and say what happens
[08:46] <ttocskcaj> Why can't I run executables? I'm trying to run this: http://java.decompiler.free.fr/jd-gui/downloads/jd-gui-0.3.3.linux.i686.tar.gz but it just does nothing
[08:46] <freeburn_> does it bring you to a terminal?
[08:46] <petan> ttocskcaj: that is archive
[08:46] <ttocskcaj> I know
[08:46] <jelena> nothing
[08:47] <ttocskcaj> the program inside it is the problem
[08:47] <petan> ttocskcaj: you must open it with archive manager
[08:47] <ttocskcaj> i've done this...
[08:47] <ejv> PEBCAK
[08:47] <freeburn_> then kernel somehow got broken
[08:47] <ttocskcaj> how? it's a brand new install
[08:47] <petan> ttocskcaj: did you follow readme in it?
[08:47] <ndxtg> airtonix: ok let me try, thank you :D
[08:47] <airtonix> xerox1, its how i moved from 9.10 to 10,04 and after i installed 10,04 my desktop looked *exactly* like it did in 9.10... if you didnt sit through the install you;d think i didn't have a new version.
[08:47] <jelena> ok is there something i can do to recover my data?
[08:47] <freeburn_> reboot and try crtl+alt+f3 again
[08:47] <jelena> ok
[08:47] <petan> ttocskcaj: open it in terminal it would tell you what is wrong
[08:48] <ttocskcaj> ok
[08:48] <sudipta> how to install picasa in ubuntu 10.10(from repository)
[08:48] <freeburn_> during startup what happens?
[08:49] <jelena> nothing, i do what you want but nothing happens, only ubuntu logo and 5 red ots
[08:49] <guest9211> hi
[08:49] <guest9211> i am trying to install kde in my ubuntu but i am getting this error: http://pastebin.com/3UhEiTMN
[08:49] <AlHornair> -bar
[08:49] <guest9211> can anyone help me to solve this probleM
[08:50] <ttocskcaj> actually I think it's permissions
[08:50] <ejv> sudipta: i don't believe picasa is in any mainline ubuntu repository
[08:50] <petan> ttocskcaj: set it +x but only executable
[08:50] <xerox1> airtonix: sorry, don't get it?
[08:50] <freeburn_> ok reboot again and during start up press esc repeatedly
[08:50] <airtonix> xerox1, rsync -essh source user@target:/path/to/target/directory
[08:51] <ejv> sudipta still here?
[08:51] <airtonix> xerox1, woops previous was a mistell
[08:51] <ttocskcaj> I can't do cd /Desktop/JD
[08:51] <airtonix> ndxtg, its how i moved from 9.10 to 10,04 and after i installed 10,04 my desktop looked *exactly* like it did in 9.10... if you didnt sit through the install you;d think i didn't have a new version.
[08:51] <petan> ttocskcaj: type sudo chmod a+rw ~/Desktop/JD
[08:51] <airtonix> ttocskcaj, because it's ~/Desktop not  /Desktop
[08:52] <petan> ttocskcaj: sudo chmod -r a+rw ~/Desktop
[08:52] <jelena> no nothing again logo and i se the wireless is working
[08:52] <xerox1> airtonix: i will have a closer look at the options of rsync and decide if the fit my needs; thx so far;
[08:52] <freeburn_> this is odd...pressing esc should bring up the boot menu....kernel should not loaded at that time...
[08:53] <petan> ttocskcaj: or rather u+rw
[08:53] <airtonix> xerox1, maybe there are other tools, but i'd need to get a better idea of what it is you are trying to acheive
[08:53] <freeburn_> i will search a little and try to find a solution
[08:53] <jelena> ok a can open the boot menu and then what?
[08:53] <petan> ttocskcaj: keep in mind that a+rw will allow other users to access part of your profile
[08:54] <ttocskcaj> It's still not running
[08:54] <jelena> i am in the boot menu
[08:54] <petan> ttocskcaj: what it say
[08:54] <ttocskcaj> nothing. I double click and it's like i didn't do anything
[08:54] <petan> ttocskcaj: do it in terminal
[08:54] <ndxtg> airtonix: that looks promising :D backing up now

[08:55] <ttocskcaj> ./jd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[08:56] <airtonix> ndxtg, the difference between dist-upgrade and clean installs with separate partition is that you will *always* end up with a usable operating system... but if you rely on dist-upgrade... its a gamble
[08:56] <petan> ttocskcaj: did you open readme file? maybe it need intallation
[08:56] <ttocskcaj> It doesn't
[08:56]  * kfsh 试试这个命令
[08:56] <ttocskcaj> I've run it before
[08:56] <jelena> freeburn what to do from boot menu
[08:56] <airtonix> xerox1, ahhh you want to GET stuff... not put stuff.
[08:56] <petan> ttocskcaj: but you are missing that libgtk-x11-2.0.so
[08:56] <xerox1> airtonix: right
[08:56] <ttocskcaj> last time I just extracted. set the permissions so it could be executed and it ran
[08:56] <airtonix> xerox1, ok does it have to be commandline ?
[08:57] <xerox1> airtonix: would be nice, i like cli...
[08:57] <petan> ttocskcaj: now it requires libraries you do not have
[08:57] <ttocskcaj> It hasn't been updated lol
[08:57] <petan> ttocskcaj: I am pretty sure it has installation manual, read it
[08:57] <ttocskcaj> 1. Installation.
[08:57] <ttocskcaj> No installation and no setup are required.
[08:58] <ttocskcaj> from readme.txt
[08:58] <airtonix> xerox1, ok, well there is some python scripts for rtorrent that deal with parsing RSS feeds and fetching .torrent files.. maybe you could change it to grab the .mp3/,ogg file ?
[08:59] <xerox1> airtonix: ok, let me play arround a bit with the possiblities...
[08:59] <chengdan> hello
[08:59] <petan> ttocskcaj: but linux software usually have dependencies / library which you must have to be able to use it
[08:59] <airtonix> ttocskcaj, sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && apt-file search libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

[09:03] <sometux> How to increase the resolution for Ubuntu server guest using Virtualbox?
[09:03] <histo> sometux: are you using Xorg
[09:03] <airtonix> sometux, start by isntalling the "Guest Additions" by downloading the guestadditions iso from the virtualbox website and mounting it in your VM
[09:04] <airtonix> sometux, ah didnt see "server"
[09:04] <petan> ttocskcaj: why?
[09:04] <sometux> histo: no Xorg  and no guestadditions
[09:04] <histo> sometux: you cna try adding a vga code to grub_cmd_line
[09:04] <sometux> histo: didn't work
[09:04] <airtonix> sometux, how do you know you don't have Xorg (and whats running the display if there is no Xorg)?
[09:05] <airtonix> sometux, nvm
[09:05] <ttocskcaj> petan, it's the only thing I can think of
[09:06] <histo> airtonix: its a server
[09:06] <airtonix> histo, hence "nvm"
[09:06] <histo> sometux: edit /etc/default/grub and add the vga=771 or whatever to the default grub command after quiet and splash
[09:07] <histo> sometux: then sudo update-grub
[09:07] <histo> sometux: reboot and enjoy
[09:07] <petan> ttocskcaj: maybe it does not know where libraries are in your system, did you recently updated something
[09:08] <sometux> histo: I tried that solution but it didn't work
[09:08] <ttocskcaj> I recently reinstalled

[09:16] <xviimajor> hello everyone
[09:17] <xviimajor> how you guys doin
[09:17] <jo__> Hey everyone, I have an rather old computer (2001) and want to boot from an usb. My bios gives me the possibilities of USB-HDD, USB-ZIP, USB-FDD, USB-CDROM. Whatevery I choose to be my first boot device, it keeps on asking for a cdrom. ideas?
[09:17] <codeblade> jo: go with usb fdd
[09:17] <codeblade> it worked for me:)
[09:17] <petan> jo__: sure usb is bootable?
[09:17] <codeblade> if it does not work then try usb-hdd
[09:18] <petan> jo__: the flash drive
[09:18] <karthick87> How to install Glasgow Haskell Compiler in Lucid Lynx?
[09:18] <xviimajor> >_< brb ina minute or so messed up splicin a file >_<
[09:18] <codeblade> karthic : install haskell-platform...
[09:18] <karthick87> how..?
[09:18] <jo__> codeblade: I'll try again, It did'nt work for usb-hdd
[09:19] <codeblade> it will install all tools needed to develop haskell
[09:19] <jo__> petan: I hope so, the bios gives me the possibility
[09:19] <codeblade> apt-get install haskell-platform
[09:19] <xviimajor> synaptic package manager.
[09:19] <spectacular> hi, i have a eee-pc running ubuntu.  i installed ubuntu over a year ago i think, using a specialized kernel/installation for netbooks, which i found somewhere on the internet.  it used normal gnome, and i loved it.  recently it's been nagging me to upgrade to a newer distribution because the old one wasn't supported anymore.  I resisted because i was worried things wouldn't work as nicely as they were, but finally relented.  it seems to
[09:19] <spectacular> have replaced my gnome interface with some kind of wacky blend of gnome with something else -- i still have my panels, top and bottom, but instead of showing a desktop it shows weird big icons and a menu along the left... and everything moves rather slowly.  how can i get it to return to normal gnome?
[09:19] <noob-tux> http://paste.ubuntu.com/529865/ <---gpg error from updating....annoying....been doing sudo -i apt-get clean move lists list.old mkdir lists/partial same.... grrrr it's annoying....
[09:19] <xviimajor> nice paragraph lol
[09:19] <spectacular> poking around in dkpg, it seems it has a ubuntu-desktop and not pure gnome... how would i switch this?
[09:20] <petan> spectacular check if you do not run something else than gnome first
[09:20] <codeblade> or you can install it from ubuntu software source/developer tools/haskell/haskell-platform
[09:20] <spectacular> petan, yes, how do i check this?
[09:20] <jo__> codeblade: it gives me 'Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter' O yes another thing, I have no hard drive
[09:20] <codeblade> ok....
[09:20] <petan> spectacular: if you check session while logging in
[09:20] <codeblade> try usb-hdd then,,,,
[09:21] <codeblade> make sure usb -drive is bootable..
[09:21] <petan> jo__ is falsh drive bootable?
[09:21] <spectacular> petan, when i log on it claims it is gnome
[09:21] <codeblade> it should be usb-fdd.....
[09:21] <noob-tux> http://paste.ubuntu.com/529865/ <---gpg error from updating....annoying....been doing sudo -i apt-get clean move lists list.old mkdir lists/partial same.... grrrr it's annoying....
[09:21] <xviimajor> ima finish splicin this file and ill be back to give whatever info i can that might be useful
[09:21] <jo__> petan: I installed an ubuntu on that flash, well with the create a bootable disk option in ubuntu
[09:21] <spectacular> petan, but, looking at dpkg -l, it has a ubuntu-desktop, and a bunch of gnome-related stuff but perhaps not gnome itself
[09:22] <codeblade> you have other machines to test it? if it gets the same result then its not bootable
[09:22] <petan> spectacular: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop then
[09:22] <codeblade> you can also change the usb drive..
[09:22] <codeblade> some cheap chinese drive does boots from it for an unknown reason
[09:23] <petan> your flash drive has boot loader working
[09:23] <spectacular> petan, it doesn't find gnome-desktop
[09:23] <petan> jo__
[09:23] <noob-tux> http://paste.ubuntu.com/529865/ <---gpg error from updating....annoying....been doing sudo -i apt-get clean move lists list.old mkdir lists/partial same.... grrrr it's annoying....
[09:23] <jo__> petan, codeblade: thanks, I'll try it on an other machene, but I have to go for the moment, tx for the help
[09:24] <petan> spectacular: try apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment
[09:25] <xviimajor> ok nvm bout the damn file, spect u still here?
[09:27] <xviimajor> ok so does anyone need any help with networking or anything like that?

[10:06] <ikonia> p________: the topic of this channel is ubuntu support ONLY - keep the random noise out of it
[10:07] <urmom> because the default install of ubuntu put us here.
[10:07] <urmom> without asking us if we want to connect
[10:07] <skyfollian> u r just different, dude, sorry
[10:07] <urmom> and now we tear it up and they get mad.,

[10:09] <tsaknorris> hi all :)
[10:09] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: try grub-install then, not sure if update-grub works from live
[10:09] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[10:10] <FRockstock> ikonia: don't feed the animals
[10:10] <mmoo9154> Any network guru's online tonight?
[10:10] <ikonia> FRockstock: stop now, the problem has been resolved
[10:10] <rigved> !question | mmoo9154
[10:10] <FRockstock> ikonia: ok :)
[10:10] <U-b-u-n-t-u> so as long as I have the ubuntu partition as +b grub should boot it? when I can sudo update-grub when ubuntu is running?
[10:10] <tsaknorris> im using ARORA web browser. Does anybody know where arora searches flash plugin?
[10:10] <U-b-u-n-t-u> when = then
[10:10] <mmoo9154> ubottu: I am guessing that was directed at me.  :-$
[10:11] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: you can try that
[10:11] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok thanks
[10:11] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: but if you want to save time we can check menu.lst first
[10:11] <mmoo9154> All, I have a Ubuntu setup that responds to local pings, but not pings that originate from outside the net.  Any ideas on how to fix this?
[10:11] <ikonia> mmoo9154: probably your router with either nat or a firewal
[10:12] <ikonia> mmoo9154: certainly won't be an ubuntu problem as there is no default firewall rules on ubuntu
[10:13] <mmoo9154> ikona, thx!
[10:13] <mmoo9154> The packet gets routed to the ubuntu box (I can see it with ngrep)
[10:13] <ikonia> mmoo9154: it will be your router/firewall
[10:13] <mmoo9154> The packet does not get responded to by the Ubuntu box if the packet comes from outside the local net
[10:14] <mmoo9154> It's not the router
[10:14] <petan> mmoo9154: check if router does not block pinging
[10:14] <ikonia> mmoo9154: because it's going through your router - with icmp  probably blocked
[10:14] <tiger2wander> hey there
[10:14] <mmoo9154> It might be the firewall in Ubuntu...  but I have everything turned off (sudo ufw disable)
[10:14] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan after gparted made the drive +b it still just boots to the grub prompt
[10:14] <rigved> mmoo9154: does your router have a ping utility?
[10:14] <tiger2wander> I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 and I've just installed reiser4progs to make reiser4 fs but I can not mount it, please help me!
[10:15] <ikonia> mmoo9154: the default rule on ubuntu firewall is any:any - so it's not that
[10:15] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: that is what I though boot back we need to change it manually
[10:15] <ikonia> mmoo9154: it is probably your router blocking icmp
[10:15] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan ok
[10:15] <mmoo9154> Router does not block pings.  I can ping a Windows box that is inside (on the same network segment as the new Ubuntu 10.10)
[10:15] <mmoo9154> I agree ikona.
[10:15] <mmoo9154> That's why I'm stumped and writing in IRC at 2:15am  :-P
[10:16] <Osmosis>  somebody can help me why when i execute this iptable comman
[10:16] <Osmosis>  iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport http -j REDIRECT --to-ports 1935
[10:16] <llutz_> tiger2wander:" sudo modprobe reiserfs"
[10:16] <Osmosis> i receive that error "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name."
[10:16] <Bohotin> hello
[10:16] <Bohotin> i have a question
[10:16] <llutz_> tiger2wander: grep -i reiser /proc/filesystems
[10:16] <tiger2wander> llutz, thanks u for hint, I've just forgot it
[10:16] <mmoo9154> ikonia, the router is not blocking.  The packet *reaches* the Ubuntu box.  Gets read.  And can be seen with ngrep
[10:16] <rigved> mmoo9154: does your router have a ping utility? check your router administrator page. try to ping from there...
[10:17] <mmoo9154> rigved, Yes it does
[10:17] <karthick87> I get this error when I try to use apt-get; E: Couldn't find package haskell-platform
[10:17] <Madpilot> !info haskell-platform
[10:17] <tiger2wander> llutz, reiserfs is ok, but reiser4 is not? `modprobe reiser4` is return not found message
[10:18] <plitter> hey, when u use netbootin do i have to format the usb disk to something special? or make some other option?? i just downloaded linux mint and want to make a live usb, but when i reboot my computer it doesnt boot...
[10:18] <Madpilot> karthick87, "sudo apt-get install haskell-platform" seems like it should work...
[10:18] <rigved> mmoo9154: so you are able to ping from your router utility but from from ubuntu 10.10?
[10:18] <mmoo9154> rigved or ikonia...  is there a channel for linux/ubuntu networking??
[10:18] <ikonia> mmoo9154: have you actually looked at your iptables rules ?
[10:18] <karthick87> Madpilot: tried that getting the same error
[10:19] <mmoo9154> rigved, I am able to ping the Ubuntu box from the router's admin/ping page
[10:19] <Madpilot> karthick87, which version of Ubuntu?
[10:19] <mmoo9154> I am not able to ping from outside
[10:19] <llutz_> mmoo9154:  sudo iptables -L -v
[10:19] <karthick87> Madpilot: 10.10
[10:19] <mawst> Anyone know how to set the default file manager in openbox?
[10:20] <Madpilot> karthick87, odd. Have you done anything to your repositories?
[10:20] <karthick87> Madpilot: No
[10:20] <mmoo9154> llutz, done.  see http://paste.ubuntu.com/529897/
[10:21] <mmoo9154> ikonia, I posted the iptables: http://paste.ubuntu.com/529897/
[10:21] <Madpilot> karthick87, Universe repo is enabled by default these days, so the haskell package you're looking for ought to just install
[10:21] <ikonia> mmoo9154: a.) disable iptables and test it b.) read the rules and see if there is anything blocking it
[10:21] <mmoo9154> any ideas?
[10:21] <akagi201> sdfsda
[10:21] <mmoo9154> How do I disable ptables?
[10:21] <akagi201> hi
[10:21] <mmoo9154> (doh!)
[10:22] <ikonia> mmoo9154: sudo ufw stop
[10:23] <mmoo9154> ikonia, I did that.
[10:23] <mmoo9154> :(
[10:23] <mmoo9154> markm@Hancock:/etc$ sudo ufw status Status: inactive
[10:23] <ikonia> mmoo9154: sudo iptables -F
[10:24] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan ok livecd is up and running finally
[10:24] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: check if /dev/sda1 is mounted
[10:24] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[10:25] <mmoo9154> iknia: I did that
[10:25] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I went to computer and open both the win7 parition and ubuntu and they are showing up on the desktop now
[10:26] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: open <root>/boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:26] <Osmosis> someone know something of iptables?
[10:26] <ikonia> mmoo9154: then your iptables rules should be clear, not showing the information you have in your poastebin
[10:26] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[10:26] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: in gparted or editor you like
[10:26] <mmoo9154> The postbin was *before* the -F
[10:26] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: * gedit
[10:26] <Osmosis> i read a lot of docs and try diferents examples but i have the same error all the time
[10:26] <ikonia> mmoo9154: ok, so now try it
[10:27] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[10:27] <Jordan_U> U-b-u-n-t-u: The guide you followed to re-install grub was a poor one. Follow this: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[10:28] <mmoo9154> ikonia, rigved: here is the latest sudo iptables -L -v:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/529900/
[10:28] <ikonia> mmoo9154: all clear, so you now have no firewall rules
[10:28] <mmoo9154> still no ping response
[10:28] <ikonia> mmoo9154: as I've said it's probably your router not allowing/natting the icmp back properly
[10:28] <mmoo9154> To be precise...  I get a ping response if I ping from a device on the same network.  Not if I ping from outside the segment
[10:29] <ikonia> mmoo9154: what ip address are you pinging ?
[10:29] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: what version you are running btw
[10:29] <mmoo9154> 173.8.161.18
[10:29] <ikonia> mmoo9154: is that on the public internet
[10:29] <U-b-u-n-t-u> 10.04 ubuntu and 1.5 grub
[10:29] <mmoo9154> You can ping 173.8.161.17 (that is a device on the same segnent as the Ubuntu box)
[10:30] <mmoo9154> ikonia: yes
[10:30] <acc_> hmm...  sudo tcpdump -i eth0 ?? to see any incoming ping packets ?
[10:30] <ikonia> mmoo9154: my trace to that does shows ICMP being blocked
[10:30] <mmoo9154> ikonia: the 16 addresses at 173.8.161.17/28 is my static block
[10:31] <mmoo9154> ikonia: you are seeing the same behavior I am trying to debug
[10:31] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I typed sudo pico /boot/grub/menu.1st and the file doesnt exist
[10:31] <mmoo9154> The IP is blocked at the Ubuntu box
[10:31] <mmoo9154> You *can* ping .17, correct?
[10:31] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: menu.lst
[10:31] <ikonia> mmoo9154: no the whole route from the first hop doesn't response
[10:31] <chq> fjdijfdjfkdfkd
[10:31] <petan> chq: need help?
[10:32] <ikonia> mmoo9154: but your right, I can ping .17
[10:32] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan so sudo pico menu.1st
[10:32] <mmoo9154> 17 is inside the router :(
[10:32] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: it is LST .lst
[10:32] <U-b-u-n-t-u> oh!
[10:32] <ikonia> mmoo9154: is it natted ?
[10:32] <U-b-u-n-t-u> sorry
[10:32] <mmoo9154> The router is at .30
[10:32] <mmoo9154> Nope.
[10:32] <ikonia> mmoo9154: no, is the router natting
[10:33] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: btw Jordan's link might be also usefull
[10:33] <mmoo9154> The .18 device is a NIC.  A real NIC.  It is wired to the router directly.  (Not even a switch in between)
[10:33] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I typed sudo pico /boot/grub/menu.lst same result
[10:33] <mmoo9154> The router is not natting
[10:33] <ikonia> mmoo9154: what is the .17 device ?
[10:33] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan ok let me try it
[10:33] <mmoo9154> The .17 device is a linux box running dd-wrt
[10:33] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: it must be <root of sda1> not /
[10:34] <rigved> mmoo9154: enable ufw and add a rule to allow all incoming and outgoing traffic. then try.
[10:34] <Mr_Blik> morning everyone
[10:34] <mmoo9154> rigved.  thx!  one sec...
[10:34] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | petan
[10:34] <ikonia> mmoo9154: back in a minute
[10:34] <mmoo9154> ikonia: thanks fo rthe help
[10:35] <petan> Jordan_U: why you tell me that?
[10:35] <mmoo9154> rigved: what is the "allow all" command for ufw?
[10:35] <Jordan_U> petan: Because Ubuntu 10.04 does not have a /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:35] <petan> I see
[10:35] <rigved> mmoo9154: not too sure, as i use gufw. let me check.
[10:35] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: grub.cfg then
[10:36] <Mr_Blik> i said morning
[10:36] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[10:37] <rigved> mmoo9154: sudo ufw default allow
[10:37] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: but check if you are editing the one from your installation
[10:37] <Jordan_U> petan: His problem is almost certainly that he followed directions that were unclear and used the wrong option for the --root-directory= parameter of grub install. I see it a lot. His grub.cfg is fine.
[10:37] <Diverdude> Is there a manual of how i can use cisco vpn on ubuntu 10.04 ?
[10:37] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan how?
[10:37] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: wait
[10:37] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[10:37] <hongmi> freshman
[10:38] <rigved> mmoo9154: ufw logging on
[10:38] <rigved> mmoo9154: do this too, to get a log of everything that's happening
[10:38] <Jordan_U> petan: I may get disconnected as I'm having ISP issues, but please get U-b-u-n-t-u to follow this guide http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide and install to the mbr, like /dev/sda, and *not* to a partition like /dev/sda1.
[10:38] <mmoo9154> thx
[10:39] <Mr_Blik> did someone ping me
[10:39] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Jordan_U, when i start up I start up in grub>
[10:39] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: your sda1 is mounted where? you can see it if you type mount
[10:39] <Jordan_U> petan: It's more steps than some other ways of installing grub, but it leaves less oportunity for mistakes.
[10:39] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan checking
[10:39]  * Mr_Blik feels ignored
[10:40] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I typed mount /dev/sda1 and it says its mounted
[10:41] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: just mount

[10:44] <mmoo9154> rigved: does ufw log somewhere else?
[10:45] <mmoo9154> rigved: is there achannel for linux networking?
[10:45] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: can you type /query petan and send me what you get when you type mount?
[10:45] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I am not on the computer thats having issues I am on another one

[10:48] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo chroot /media
[10:48] <rigved> Diverdude: i guess so. never tried it myself.
[10:49] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan after the /media/proc it said /media/proc does not exist
[10:49] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: do you see root of drive in /media?
[10:49] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan what command would I use for that?

[10:51] <mmoo9154> thx
[10:51] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: aha, type mount and check which line looks like the name of folder in media
[10:52] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[10:52] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: with sda1 it looks like it is not mounted in /media but /media/<ID>
[10:52] <mmoo9154> rigved: looks like only UDP is being logged  :(
[10:53] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: or type ls on both folders and you will see which is sda1
[10:53] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[10:53] <rigved> mmoo9154: try to open a website, google.com

[11:02] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan installed and running
[11:02] <deci> ahoy ahoy!
[11:02] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: Can you try running any of these players in the guest account (or create a new fresh accound)?
[11:02] <rigved> mmoo9154: check /etc/ufw/before.rules
[11:02] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: what you see
[11:02] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan first question do I want to purge all grub2 files from pc
[11:02] <mmoo9154> rigved, thx
[11:02] <rigved> mmoo9154: there should be a icmp codes block
[11:03] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: it should be alreadt purged
[11:03] <U-b-u-n-t-u> it asked me
[11:03] <rigved> mmoo9154: what does it say? > pastebin
[11:03] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I should say yes?
[11:03] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: yes
[11:03] <U-b-u-n-t-u> o
[11:03] <U-b-u-n-t-u> OK*
[11:04] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok I said yes
[11:04] <juk> I reinstalled anjuta but it still wont load up
[11:04] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: did you passed apt-get install grub-pc yet?
[11:04] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: I don't have a guest account, really, just my default administrator's account\
[11:04] <mmoo9154> rigved: http://paste.ubuntu.com/529924/
[11:04] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I installed it and then it asked me if I wanted to purge all grub2 files and I said yes
[11:05] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: ok now type grub-install /dev/sda
[11:05] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan ok
[11:05] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: The guest account is an Ubuntu feature, it creates a temporary account with heavy restrictions and all files stored in /tmp and deleted after logout.
[11:06] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: Get to it from the user switching applet at the top right corner of the screen.
[11:06] <juk> !bug
[11:07] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: Okay. I'm quite new to Ubuntu, though. I went to Switch from.... and got the login screen
[11:07] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: now quit chroot and restart
[11:07] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: There's just my name and "Other"
[11:08] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: what installation proccess said? no problems
[11:09] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: I tried logging in under Other, typing "Guest" in manually, but it asked me for a password and gave me an authentication failure whether I used my sudo password or left it blank.
[11:09] <mmoo9154> ikonia:  or rigved:  any ideas?
[11:10] <rigved> mmoo9154: your ufw is functioning as it should. it allows ping requests. i do not know any more on this, but i can surely say that your Ubuntu box is allowing you to ping properly. sorry i cannot help you any more than this.
[11:10] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan
[11:10] <Diverdude> ok, i managed to install vpnc for ubuntu and use the network manager to import the pcf file. How do i then connect?
[11:10] <sosaited> I am trying to install coverGloobus but I cant get ./autogen or ./configure Both give "cannot run /bin/bash ./config.sub" error
[11:10] <jschoolcraft> I have a broken mysql-server 5.1 upgrade from 5.0 using aptitude.  any way to kill 5.1 and force a downgrade back to 5.0?
[11:10] <mmoo9154> rigved, is there a channel for ubuntu networking?
[11:11] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: ?
[11:11] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan when ran the purge I thought that was the install so I went back and ran the command apt-get install grub-pc
[11:11] <mmoo9154> And...  thanks for all your time!
[11:11] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: You can't get to the guest account from the login screen, only from the user switching applet like this: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/Screenshot.png
[11:11] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan when it is installing there is a problem
[11:11] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: what problem
[11:11] <U-b-u-n-t-u> getting it now
[11:12] <rigved> Diverdude: left click on the network icon and move your mouse over to VPN Connections. you should get a list of configured VPNs.
[11:12] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: I hope you did not leave chroot
[11:12] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I didnt
[11:12] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: what it says
[11:13] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan it said it got the command like from menu.lst and then there is a commandline in blue but nothing is there
[11:13] <rigved> mmoo9154: no there isn't one. if you can come back again during a later time of the day, there will be other user online who may be able to help you.
[11:13] <Diverdude> rigved, yeah ok i have it there....but nothing happens when i click my network
[11:13] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[11:13] <Yerushalmi> I don't have that line up there, Jordan_U
[11:13] <Yerushalmi> Just Lock screen, switch from, Log out, suspend, hibernate, restart, shut down
[11:14] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: that will ignore any existing configs
[11:14] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:14] <Jordan_U> U-b-u-n-t-u: It is normal for that to be blank, just continue.
[11:15] <Diverdude> rigved, what is supposed to happen when i click the network i ave confgured in the networks manager?
[11:15] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: Odd, the gdm-guest-session package should be installed by default. Try creating a new user instead.
[11:16] <U-b-u-n-t-u> grub-install --recheck /dev/sda it returned cannot find a device for boot/grub
[11:16] <rigved> Diverdude: you should get a message saying that you have connected to it successfully or connection failed if you have not entered the details correctly.
[11:16] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: Done. Do anything special with account settings or leave them as they are upon creation? (account type Desktop user, for instance)
[11:16] <Diverdude> rigved, but nothing happens at all :S
[11:17] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: do you see boot if you type ls /
[11:17] <U-b-u-n-t-u> looking
[11:17] <Diverdude> rigved, is it possible to do it from a terminal so that i can get verbose output?
[11:17] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan when I type ls / boot is a dir
[11:18] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: Nothing special.
[11:18] <rigved> Diverdude: check if you have the following package installed -
[11:18] <rigved> network-manager-vpnc-gnome | Diverdude
[11:18] <Jordan_U> U-b-u-n-t-u: Are you sure you ran grub-install within the chroot?
[11:18] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Jordan_U, right now I am sure of about 0
[11:19] <rigved> !info network-manager-vpnc-gnome | Diverdude
[11:19] <petan> I think he does
[11:19] <juk> bug reported 673968
[11:19] <rigved> Diverdude: check in software center
[11:19] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: you can launch new terminal and type chroot /mnt
[11:19] <Diverdude> rigved,  i have network-manager-vpnc
[11:19] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan yes
[11:19] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: then grub-install again
[11:19] <Diverdude> rigved,  but not network-manager-vpnc-gnome
[11:19] <anotherubuntusr> Hi. How to call the logout program from command line?
[11:20] <Jordan_U> U-b-u-n-t-u: I would just try rebooting. You probably have grub installed correctly at this point, and if not then starting from scratch will at least cause less confusion.
[11:20] <rigved> Diverdude: install that too
[11:20] <Diverdude> rigved, it seems i had it actually
[11:20] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: wait with restart
[11:20] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: check if /boot/grub contains the files
[11:20] <Yerushalmi> Username "potato" still gets segfault for vlc and mplayer, though oddly enough not for totem.
[11:21] <Diverdude> rigved, so i have that one. now what?
[11:21] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I typed sudo su root then chroot /mnt
[11:21] <karthick87> Friend of mine using ubuntu 10.04,he accidentally deleted bin/bash.Is there any way he can copy it back..?
[11:21] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I am about to follow the install
[11:21] <zealiod> what bash command can I do to see if a route already exists?
[11:21] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: wait please
[11:21] <jatt> route
[11:21] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:22] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: do you see in /boot/grub.cfg entry for both systems?
[11:22] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: do you see in /boot/grub/grub.cfg entry for both systems?
[11:22] <rigved> Diverdude: run this from the CLI - vpnc-connect myvpn
[11:22] <karthick87> zealiod, route -a
[11:22] <U-b-u-n-t-u>  looking
[11:23] <JMKeynesWins> hey
[11:23] <rigved> Diverdude: or try to connect to VPN from the network icon again after you have installed the GNOME vpnc plugin
[11:23] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: (repeating just in case because I didn't use your name and wouldn't have triggered a stalk match) Username "potato" still gets segfault for vlc and mplayer, though oddly enough not for totem.
[11:23] <zealiod> karthick87: I have a line in a bash script that reads: route add default gw 94.30.97.201
[11:23] <zealiod> karthick87: this results in an error because the default gw already exists
[11:24] <zealiod> karthick87: I want to wrap it in an IF in bash so that it only sets it to that only if it's not already that....
[11:24] <zealiod> karthick87: it's in the bash script to set the default gw should it have changed
[11:24] <Legato> help me please! i need results from "ls -la /bin" and also for /etc and /var from Ubuntu. please send if you can
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> Legato: give me 2 ticks
[11:25] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: Odd indeed. I have no idea.
[11:25] <Diverdude> rigved, hmm strange...i called my configuration Dupont, but there is no such file
[11:25] <Diverdude> vpnc-connect: couldn't open `/etc/vpnc/Dupont.conf': No such file or directory
[11:26] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan
[11:26] <Yerushalmi> Jordan_U: Heh. Thanks anyways
[11:26] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I went to boot/ didnt see it so I backed out to cd
[11:26] <Jordan_U> Yerushalmi: You're welcome :)
[11:26] <jinzo> hello, I'm reading that ubuntu kernel has vgaswitcheroo compiled in, but my kernel doesen't. Can someone confirm that vhaswitcheroo is indeed compiled in the latest kernels?
[11:26] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan now I am not sure which dir I should be in to find the file?
[11:26] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: still in chroot? if not go there
[11:26] <Yerushalmi> In the meantime, since I *can* run the occasional video sudo'd, can somebody tell me what package I need to download if it complains I'm missing an H.264 decoder for my video codec?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> Legato: http://pastebin.com/ZBt5JiaS
[11:27] <Legato> ActionParsnip: thank you very much!
[11:27] <ActionParsnip>  the total denote the gaps, the folders are in the order you requested
[11:27] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: in chroot it is /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[11:27] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I am in root@ubuntu~
[11:27] <reeniginEesreveR> how can i setup a virtual network interface with a sepaarte ip address on top an existing ethernet based network interface?
[11:27] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: launch new terminal and type chroot /mnt
[11:27] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:27] <rigved> Diverdude: you can also try to create it manually. i'll give you the guide
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !codecs | Yerushalmi
[11:27] <rigved> !vpn | Diverdude
[11:28] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: then check /boot/grub...
[11:28] <erUSUL> jinzo: grep VGA_SWITCHEROO /boot/config*
[11:28] <rigved> Diverdude: it's there in the later part of the guide
[11:29] <Yerushalmi> Thanks, ActionParsnip. I don't suppose you can help me with my permissions problem? :)
[11:29] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok petan I went to /boot/grub/ and I see grub.cfg
[11:29] <jinzo> erUSUL, indeed it looks like it is. but there is nothing in /sys/kernel/debug
[11:29] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: type gedit grub.cfg do you see it
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: you'll need chod and chroot, why are you messing with that stuff?
[11:29] <U-b-u-n-t-u> looking
[11:30] <jinzo> erUSUL, any ideas what could be wrong else?
[11:30] <erUSUL> jinzo: you do not have debugfs mounted?
[11:30] <Legato> ActionParsnip: ah, sorry, i forgot to add, i need recursive ones. -R
[11:30] <jinzo> isn't it by default?
[11:30] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: I have no idea what the problem is, from the moment I installed Ubuntu I've been having problems playing embedded videos in webpages and the like, and I get a segfault whenever running vlc, totem, or mplayer from terminal (and, except for with totem, even when running commands like "mplayer --help" and not opening a file).
[11:30] <jinzo> also, there are some debug symbols in /sys/kernel/debug
[11:31] <jinzo> just not vgaswitcheroo
[11:31] <erUSUL> jinzo: dunno « grep debug /proc/mounts »
[11:31] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan, it says if not floppy then set (it has the ubuntu parition # string here)
[11:31] <U-b-u-n-t-u> not = no
[11:31] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: scroll to end of file
[11:31] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: I only discovered two days ago that if I use gksudo totem <filename> it actually opens the file and plays normally (except for the missing codec)
[11:31] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan,  ok
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: which release are you running?
[11:32] <Yerushalmi> 10.04
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: freaky, lucid is mature and pretty solid
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: what groups are you in?
[11:32] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Indeed. Want to know what else is freaky? I had the same problem in 9.04 but never got around to trying to fix it.
[11:32] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan ok I am at the bottom what should the line look like?
[11:33] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: How do I find out?
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: run:  groups    what is output? It's only one line
[11:33] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: then you should see line similar to title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686
[11:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok looking
[11:34] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: do you see this line even for windows
[11:34] <Yerushalmi> daniel adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev admin sambashare
[11:34] <wgw> ??
[11:35] <vinok> everyone's idle?
[11:36] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: daniel being my name, obviously, and my "Main group" under Users and Groups
[11:36] <sarge1221> I'm having the worst day ever. I just ran photoRec on a external harddrive from my ubuntu 10.04 and something is seriously wrong. I did a restart and the OS itself can't can't mount dbs1 on the splash screen? I tried safe mode and it says gnome power configurations have been installed incorrectly with it still not booting.
[11:36] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I dont see that line anywhere
[11:36] <Diverdude> rigved, VPN connection 'Dupont' failed because there are no valid VPN secrets???? What on earth is that error message?
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: thats a whole tonne more than me but my groups are a subset of yours
[11:37] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: nvm maybe it has different syntax I have differnet version than you
[11:37] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:37] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u:  but there should be anything with windows
[11:37] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petans there is nothing with windows
[11:37] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: I want to make sure it is already installed that is all feel free to reboot
[11:37] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: So what do you suppose is the problem?
[11:37] <rigved> Diverdude: one moment
[11:38] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: and with linux?
[11:38] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan when I ran the install I also ran another purge
[11:38] <Yerushalmi> I really don't get this, I did a fairly out-of-the-box installation.
[11:38] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan should I run the install again?
[11:38] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: no
[11:38] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:38] <U-b-u-n-t-u> so im ok?
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> sarge1221: sounds like the recovered data is still bad
[11:38] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: you dont see anything in grub.cfg? apart of #lines
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: if you log on as another user, is it ok?
[11:39] <rigved> Diverdude: open up your VPN connection from the Network icon > Configure VPN
[11:39] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan no there is code there
[11:39] <BajK_> how do i kill the x server via console?
[11:39] <rigved> Diverdude: select your VPN connection and click edit
[11:39] <sarge1221> ActionParsnip: no i can't log in as another user.
[11:39] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan but I dont see a line with windows or the kernel #
[11:39] <petan> BajK_: sudo gdm stop
[11:39] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: I created a temporary account for that purpose. Totem can open without gksudo. Vlc and mplayer still give me segfaults, though.
[11:40] <BajK_> petan: gdm not found (have kubunttu) and kdm does nothing
[11:40] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: but do you se anything apart #
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> sarge1221: that wasn't aimed at you
[11:40] <Diverdude> rigved, yeah im there
[11:40] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan yes
[11:40] <sarge1221> ActionParsnip: oh sorry my mistake.
[11:40] <BajK_> why does kill need a pid, can't i just enter kill xserver and it'S good -.-
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> sarge1221: only text that is prefixed with your name is aimed at you
[11:40] <rigved> Diverdude: http://paste.ubuntu.com/529938/
[11:41] <Yerushalmi> sarge1221: Guided missiles prefixed with your name can sometimes also be aimed at you. :)
[11:41] <Diverdude> rigved, i see no authentication button anywhere
[11:41] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan so reboot?
[11:42] <songlixu> 哈喽
[11:42] <petan> BajK_: if you want to kill it (and you are ready for troubles) you can type killall X
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: do you have read access to the files?
[11:42] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: wait
[11:42] <Jordan_U> !n | songlixu
[11:42] <Jordan_U> !cn | songlixu
[11:42] <MaxFrames> hello
[11:43] <Diverdude> rigved, it says "in authentication" But where is this?
[11:43] <sarge1221> I'm in a bad state please someone offer some answers on how to proceed from here I have never dealt with a problem like this. I would gladly have the grub issues again at least they were short and sweet but this looks really bad for me alot of important info lies on my ubuntu i need to figure out how to fix it.
[11:43] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan ok
[11:43] <rigved> Diverdude: sorry. click Advanced button
[11:43] <rigved> Diverdude: it's under there
[11:43] <MaxFrames> I have installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an old Compaq W4000 workstation and I have a problem with the panels not showing up (I boot to a blank desktop); can you help?
[11:43] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: what you see apart of comments anything like root or image
[11:43] <Diverdude> rigved, under edit?
[11:43] <rigved> Diverdude: yes
[11:43] <Diverdude> rigved, hmm no i dont see it
[11:43] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan looking
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> sarge1221: restore from backups, if the data is important it will be backed up
[11:43] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Which files? If you're referring to the video I'm trying to play, yes, but I get segfaults even when I'm not loading anything and just trying to open the program
[11:44] <rigved> Diverdude: after you click edit, there will be a list of authentication methods. uncheck PAP
[11:44] <sarge1221> ActionParsnip: When you say backup do oyu mean the previous listing from grub or a actual backup i made myself?
[11:44] <Jordan_U> petan: By completing that guide successfully he is almost guaranteed to have a working grub install now. That's why I like that guide.
[11:44] <U-b-u-n-t-u> set root=(hd0,1)
[11:44] <rigved> Diverdude: under Advanced
[11:44] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan set root=(hd0,1)
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> sarge1221: backups you made yourself of the important data
[11:45] <petan> Jordan_U: but he got errors? but guide is good, thank you
[11:45] <sarge1221> ActionParsnip: .... it just got worst.
[11:45] <adrianoc> is there any nautilus extension to interact with git ?
[11:45] <jatt> nope
[11:45] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: nothing else? I am not familiar with grub in mbr maybe it is allright
[11:46] <sarge1221> ActionParsnip: I didn't have any place to backup to so i never backed up as you can clearly see my external harddrive was not a good place to begin with in fact it is so screwed up it has now some how killed my linux OS.
[11:46] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan ok here goes the reboot
[11:46] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: normall installation has entry for all systems this is waht you ca see in menu of grub when it start
[11:46] <jatt> but I would recommend gitweb to interact with git read only and emacs git mode fore read/write.
[11:46] <Jordan_U> petan: The errors were due to simple mistakes. The fact that grub-install has completed, and he has a grub.cfg, is enough to be fairly sure everything is going to work.
[11:46] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: maybe this is reason why it does not work for u
[11:47] <petan> Jordan_U: but what if grub.cfg is wrong
[11:47] <Diverdude> rigved, this is what I have: http://img151.imageshack.us/i/screenshoteditingdupont.png/
[11:47] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan it started grub then left me at the prompt
[11:47] <U-b-u-n-t-u> grub>
[11:47] <MrsB> sarge1221: tesdisk can be useful if the drive has become corrupted. Boot into a livecd and install it there. It is not a gui program but does have menu's. It's best to do some background reading on anything it finds before making any changes though.
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> sarge1221: then its not very miportant data, drives fail all the time, its not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. So storing "important data" in a single location is not wise
[11:47] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ubuntu didnt load
[11:47] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: ok boot live again
[11:48] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:48] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: wait
[11:48] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: still there?
[11:48] <U-b-u-n-t-u> yes
[11:48] <Jordan_U> petan: I guess I was wrong.
[11:48] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: type this
[11:48] <rigved> Diverdude: ok. when promted by this - "Allow application to access keyring", what did you do?
[11:48] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: root hd(0,0)
[11:48] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:48] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: no wrong one
[11:48] <computer_> :)
[11:48] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok?
[11:48] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: root (hd0,0)
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> sarge1221: you can use foremost to read the data and extract it to a healthy partition, the recovered data consistancy is in no way guarunteed, it may have gaps or be garbaged, but you can then reinstall and then put the data back on it
[11:49] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:49] <Jordan_U> petan: The syntax has changed with grub2.
[11:49] <petan> aha
[11:49] <dwat3r> hell
[11:49] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: reboot to live
[11:49] <dwat3r> hello
[11:49] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan ok
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> sarge1221: if you had backups you could just wipe the disk, reinstall and restore. But you learned the value of this the hard way
[11:50] <sarge1221> ActionParsnip: I don't need the backup preaching it is a bad situation all around. I was trying to fix my external so i could store stuff on it when i nfact i have now created the very problem i was trying to avoid.
[11:50] <Diverdude> rigved, it never prompted me. but itmight have done that when i started my computer long time ago...sometimes it does that and i just enter my normal user password for ubuntu
[11:51] <rigved> Diverdude: i mean that when you created and tried to connect to your VPN network, it did not ask you this?
[11:51] <pale> i have ubuntu lucid, what i want is compile network manager form source, i done things like get source and build dep but after going to dir of network manager and doing ./autogen sh i recive errors : configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
[11:51] <pale>       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
[11:51] <pale>       See the Autoconf documentation.
[11:51] <pale>  
[11:51] <FloodBot4> pale: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:52] <rigved> Diverdude: the shared secrets has got to do with seahorse.
[11:52] <Diverdude> rigved, no it didnt ask me :S What is the seahorse?
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> pale: do you have autoconf installed, and/or build-essential
[11:52] <jatt> why to compile the network manager from source? makes no sense.
[11:52] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: tell me when you are ready I am now reading manual for grub...
[11:52] <rigved> Diverdude: Passwords and Encryption Keys
[11:53] <pale> ActionParsnip, yes i have any other clue
[11:53] <Diverdude> rigved, so what do i do to make it ask me?
[11:53] <rigved> Diverdude: delete this connection and create a new one.
[11:53] <Guest90322> hi
[11:53] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Which files were you asking me about, regarding if I have read access?
[11:53] <michel_> saludos hermanos
[11:54] <jatt> !es
[11:54] <rigved> Diverdude: when asked - "Allow application to access keyring", click on Deny
[11:54] <Diverdude> rigved, butit never asks me that
[11:54] <rigved> Diverdude: then enter the password manually, and check "Save password in keyring"
[11:54] <rigved> Diverdude: hmmm
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: the video files, but if the apps fail to start then the video files are moot for now
[11:55] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: *nod* So what do I do?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: i'd test ram and fsck the partition
[11:56] <rigved> Diverdude: sudo restart network-manager
[11:56] <rigved> Diverdude: from the terminal
[11:56] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: How do I do that?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: you can test ram from the grub menu (hold shift at boot), select memtest
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: you can boot to liveCD and use fsck from there
[11:56] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan ready
[11:57] <cheater99> how can i keep two installations of ubuntu synced as far as what packages are installed, what users there are, what configs there are?
[11:57] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Thanks :)
[11:57] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: type following
[11:57] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo umount /dev/da1
[11:57] <jldesign> hello
[11:57] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[11:57] <U-b-u-n-t-u> sda1?
[11:57] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:57] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: yes
[11:58] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Which do I do, memory test regular or "serial console 115200"?
[11:58] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo mount --bind /dev /dev/mnt
[11:58] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo mount --bind /proc /dev/proc
[11:59] <Jordan_U> petan: /mnt/dev and /mnt/proc
[11:59] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo mount --bind /sys /dev/sys
[11:59] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:59] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: ah
[11:59] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
[11:59] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
[11:59] <Diverdude> rigved, ok its cool.....its working now
[11:59] <U-b-u-n-t-u> all of those?
[11:59] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: previos was not right
[12:00] <hmca> where can i find the folder for rhythmbox settings,  i whant o delete my settings, 10x
[12:00] <rigved> Diverdude: so it worked after a restart
[12:00] <Diverdude> rigved, yeah
[12:00] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
[12:00] <Diverdude> rigved, but there seems to be a problem...i cannot use normal network when on vpn
[12:00] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[12:00] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: done?
[12:00] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: no errors I hope
[12:00] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan so type everyone of those?
[12:00] <hmca> !rhythmbox
[12:00] <rigved> Diverdude: this is a bug that the connection does not get logged until restart
[12:00] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: no only last three
[12:01] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[12:01] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: I repeat it
[12:01] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
[12:01] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
[12:01] <rigved> Diverdude: i do not know about that. i have never connected via a VPN before.
[12:01] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
[12:01] <Diverdude> rigved, so if i restart computer i can use both vpn and normal network at same time?
[12:02] <rigved> Diverdude: no. i meant restart of network manager
[12:02] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: now chroot /mnt
[12:02] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo chroot /mnt
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: if you connect to the VPN then run:  ifconfig   look at the address, are both on the same subnet (look at the first 3 numbers in the IP addresses)
[12:03] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[12:03] <rigved> Diverdude: : yes that could be it too (on the same network)
[12:03] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Which do I do, memory test regular or "serial console 115200"?
[12:03] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan I am there
[12:03] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: now try grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[12:04] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: regular
[12:04] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, most likely not. So if they are not, what do i do?
[12:04] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[12:05] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan installation finished no error reported
[12:05] <rigved> Diverdude: i can only connect to one connection even when i have my wired as well as my wireless connected.
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: they NEED to be different, if the VPN address (for example) is 192.168.0.x and your LAN IP also uses 192.168.0.x then there is zero differentiation between the networks and youwill need to change the address network of YOUR network to something else (like 192.168.1.x)
[12:05] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: now grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[12:06] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, ahhhh i see...
[12:06] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, and that has to be done in my router yes?
[12:07] <sswwq> 有中文弟兄没？
[12:07] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES it found windows and the ubuntu kernel!
[12:07] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan then said done
[12:07] <rigved> !cn | sswwq
[12:07] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, hmm actually they are different
[12:08] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: restart
[12:08] <U-b-u-n-t-u> crosses my fingers
[12:08] <sswwq> ！cn
[12:08] <AdvoWork> anyone got any ideas to this? trying to install hplip on 8.04 asking for a users password, which I know is correct, yet it wont work :S
[12:08] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, lan ip is 192.168.1.33 and vpn is 192.168.0.25
[12:08] <sswwq> !cn
[12:08] <sswwq> #ubuntu-tw
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: ok thats good, and necessary
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: can you ping the vpn ip?
[12:09] <sswwq> 有中文兄弟没？
[12:09] <JoeMaverickSett> sswwq: /join #ubuntu-tw
[12:09] <sswwq> 哦？
[12:09] <bazhang> sswwq, english here
[12:10] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, i can ping a server in my (company) when on vpn (i cannot go on vpn now because i will get disconnected to from irc)
[12:10] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan youre a bad @ss thanks!!!! worked perfectly
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: hmm
[12:10] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, moment ill jut go on vpn
[12:10] <petan> U-b-u-n-t-u: was not just because of me
[12:11] <U-b-u-n-t-u> petan thanks a lot bro!

[12:14] <littlegirl> Hey there, would anybody happen to know what sort of behavior one would notice on an Ubuntu machine that does *not* have a swap partition?
[12:15] <kichi> littlegirl: depends on how much RAM it has
[12:15] <littlegirl> kichi: 2 GB
[12:15] <LjL> littlegirl: nothing special most of the time, unless you have more than say 1gb of RAM. but when you do hit the limit, applications will start crashing
[12:15] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, hmm so have to set up routing?
[12:16] <iceroot> littlegirl: if there is no mememory left, the kernel is unloading "unimportant libs"
[12:16] <littlegirl> LjL: Thanks! Will they also sort of "choke" on long lines of text while still flying through short lines?
[12:16] <littlegirl> iceroot: And occasionally makes a mistake about what's important?
[12:16] <iceroot> littlegirl: sometimes
[12:16] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, what should then be set as ip address in routes?
[12:16] <cheater99> littlegirl: i've mistakenly disabled swap on my laptop lately
[12:17] <iceroot> littlegirl: but normally its always bad if kernel is unloading stuff
[12:17] <LjL> littlegirl: that shouldn't happen, i don't think
[12:17] <rchavik> is there a special kernel to use for desktops?
[12:17] <cheater99> i would get ram hungry apps (firefox, vuze) to hang up for a long time (say 10-15 minutes) and then crash.
[12:17] <iceroot> rchavik: no
[12:17] <cheater99> during this time the system was completely unusable and unresponsive.
[12:18] <rchavik> iceroot, keep getting skips on my rhythmbox while installing stuff, never had this happen with another distro..
[12:18] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, ?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: you need to route 192.168.1.0/24 down your adapter and 192.168.0.0/24 down the VPN adapter
[12:18] <iceroot> rchavik: high io-usage? check %wa in top
[12:18] <littlegirl> Well, I recently switched from Kubuntu Hardy Heron to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx andlike an idiot, I allowed Ubuntu to just create one big partition. I suspect that the ridiculous delays when loading large text files and when using the keyboard to scroll through long lines of text could be swap related. The symptoms don't happen when I load up the same file using the live CD. Any ideas?
[12:19] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, what is the /24 ?
[12:19] <iceroot> Diverdude: netmask 255.255.255.0 = /24
[12:19] <jrib> !swap | littlegirl
[12:20] <jrib> littlegirl: you can still create some swap if you want
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: means the first 24 bits of the address are for the network and the last 8 are for hosts
[12:20] <rchavik> iceroot, 9.8% from sar
[12:20] <LjL> littlegirl: well you can have swap without needing a partition, you can use a swapfile
[12:20] <littlegirl> jrib: I'd like to if it sounds like that could be the reason I'm running into delays on simple things like text scrolling and loading.
[12:21] <jrib> littlegirl: maybe, see if creating a swapfile helps or not
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> littlegirl: maybe its poor video chip config
[12:21] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, sorry about the stupid question, but what do i write in the 'routes' window in order to route 192.168.1.0/24 down my adapter and 192.168.0.0/24 down the VPN adapter?
[12:22] <littlegirl> ActionParsnip: I'd suspect hardware if the problem persisted when using the Live CD, but it disappears then and is only present on this install of Ubuntu.
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> littlegirl: then run:  lspci | grep -i vga    and websearch for the output for guides
[12:22] <littlegirl> I'm going to try the instructions for adding a swap file from that page Ubottu linked and see if that solves it. Otherwise I will tear my hair out and look kind of silly. (:
[12:23] <ruthl> littlegirl: the live cd has got swap?
[12:23] <littlegirl> ActionParsnip: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1)
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> !nvidia | littlegirl
[12:23] <iceroot> ruthl: the live-cd is not running on the hdd, so there is no real swap
[12:23] <jerry> jerry69
[12:23] <littlegirl> ruth: No idea, but I think the whole thing runs in RAM, doesn't it? And if I had a RAM issue, it would show up when I use the Live CD, wouldn't it?
[12:24] <iceroot> littlegirl: memtest is the common way to check the ram
[12:25] <ruthl> littlegirl: so you've got one system that works and one that doesn't, and swap _isn't_ the difference between them
[12:25] <littlegirl> iceroot: Yeah, I'm not suspecting hardware because this only happens in my Ubuntu install. It didn
[12:25] <littlegirl> didn't happen in Kubuntu (which I was running just prior to this install) and it doesn't happen on any of the Live CDs I've stuck in (including the Ubuntu Live CD used for the install of my current operating system).
[12:26] <Hazamonzo> Hey folks. Im trying to start an ec2 ubuntu instance. (can i ask about that here or??) Anyway, when it comes to starting the instance i either get AMI not found or pair key doesn't exist..
[12:26] <littlegirl> ruthl: Not quite, but close. I had a working system, and the system still works if I use Live CDs, but it's having an issue with the currently installed Ubuntu. It's like I'm actually regretting having upgraded. (:
[12:26] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, sorry about the stupid question, but what do i write in the 'routes' window in order to route 192.168.1.0/24 down my adapter and 192.168.0.0/24 down the VPN adapter?
[12:27] <littlegirl> Hopefully adding a swap file will fix it. (:
[12:27] <littlegirl> Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I already installed the binary driver for the NVIDIA card.
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: look at examples of route online, there will be lots, something like: route add net 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 interface pptp0    i just made that up so its most likely very wrong.
[12:28] <mrec> hi, is there any way to lock a keyboard in X without disabling the screen?
[12:29] <littlegirl> One question about the instructions for the swap file: If I want to make the swap file 4 GB, do I just change 512Mb to 4Gb in the instructions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[12:29] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, hmm but the problem is that both networks uses dhcp, so i cannot hardcode my ip in routes, because it might change next time
[12:31] <ruthl> littlegirl: no, it's the "count=..." that counts
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> mrec: could run: sudo modprobe -r usbhid     but it'll also disable mouse (assuming the keyboard is usb)
[12:31] <qdii> hey. I just tried to run the live netbook version of Ubuntu on an old laptop (which was running suprisingly good under Windows). But it's been loading GDM for 20 minutes now and ...
[12:31] <qdii> any idea why ?
[12:31] <littlegirl> ruthl: Thanks. (:
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: you can make a script to run to setup the routes
[12:32] <unomi> Hi, I am wondering how I can use kvm to boot an existing hdd
[12:32] <aeMaeth> qdii, did it meet the ram requirements?
[12:32] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Does this memory test run over and over again or something until I exit? What does "Pass complete, no errors, press Esc to exit" mean if it's continuing to run tests?
[12:33] <aeMaeth> Yerushalmi, it will do many types of tests
[12:33] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, hmm that sounds like a good idea. So using route add net command?
[12:33] <Yerushalmi> aeMaeth: Well, yes, it's already done a whole lot of tests, but it seems to be doing them again or something.
[12:33] <qdii> I'm gonna check that, I have no idea to be honest
[12:34] <qdii> I thought it would swap on the disk but .. yea there's no disk ofc
[12:34] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, like: route add -net 12.34.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 12.34.56.1    ?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: you'll find samples online, just tweak the addresses and interface names as you reequire
[12:35] <mischd> hi men
[12:36] <mischd> somebody knows what distro of linux works properly with a hp pavilion dm 4? plz
[12:36] <Robinux> hey guys whats a good web browser i can use alongside FireFox
[12:37] <ruthl> Robinux: elinks
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> mischd: Try Ubuntu
[12:37] <Robinux> aha
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> !browser
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Robinux: ^ take your pick
[12:37] <Robinux> oh WaW ActionParsnip :D
[12:37] <Robinux> thanks man
[12:37] <jldesign> can i install ubuntu server 10.10 32 bit on dell powerEdge T610
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> jldesign: if the cpu is 64bit, then yes
[12:38] <aeMaeth> Robinux, iceweasel
[12:38] <Yerushalmi> aeMaeth: It has a 1 listed under Pass. Does that mean it's passed all of the tests the first time around? Is it going to stop testing at some point or does it keep repeating them all?
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> jldesign: you can install 32bit and 64bit OS on a 64bit cpu, if its 32bit you can only run 32bit
[12:38] <jldesign> but i have probleme with the NIC
[12:38] <aeMaeth> Yerushalmi, this is for your ram?
[12:38] <Robinux> weird how iceweasel and elinks aren't on that list ubottu gave us
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> Robinux: i personally use the chromium daily build from the daily ppa
[12:38] <jldesign> i can't get to the lan
[12:38] <Yerushalmi> aeMaeth: I'm running Memtest86+
 thanks I will try ubuntu 10.10 then
[12:38] <nebula> theme for 10.10 0 and Usplash Smooth 0.4 plzzz ??!?!?!?
[12:38] <Robinux> chromium :o
[12:39] <Robinux> thats a browser, chromium?
[12:39] <aeMaeth> Yerushalmi, afaik it has an end, there might be identifying marks during the test as to what phase it's in
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> nebula: can you rephrase and/or expand that please
[12:39] <LjL> Robinux: list is a little old, "list every browser" in #ubuntu-bots will give you more. but iceweasel is not available in ubuntu
[12:39] <Yerushalmi> aeMaeth: Ah, I see, okay. Thanks. I'll let it keep running then
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> Robinux: sure, its the open source browser which chrome is built on
[12:39] <Robinux> oh, ok LjL thanks
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> Robinux: chromium is a game, the package is chromium-browser ;)
[12:41] <Robinux> hmmmm.... i gotta also google about taking precautionary measures to make my browsing secure against credit/debit card thefts
[12:41] <aeMaeth> Robinux, like web of trust, no script and adblocker?
[12:41] <Robinux> i wanna use firefox for EVERYTHING and use a secondary browser to shop online thats why
[12:41] <Robinux> i'm on the hunt for one
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> Robinux: one what?
[12:42] <aeMaeth> shopping browser
[12:42] <Robinux> lol one browser becides firefox
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> Robinux: we gave you some options, go and explore :)
[12:42] <Robinux> you got it!
[12:42] <aeMaeth> !love | robinbowes
[12:42] <aeMaeth> oops
[12:43] <robinbowes> Why, thank you.
[12:43] <Robinux> i just remembered i have tried opera before and its almost as good as FireFox
[12:43] <mischd> firefox consumes too much resources
[12:43] <Robinux> so i'll go for that :)
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> mischd: too right, i hate firefox
[12:43] <Robinux> lool robinboews
[12:43] <Robinux> i'll also install chromium to see if ActionParsnip is right about it :P
[12:44] <Robinux> how do i install it ActionParsnip ? (chromium)
[12:44] <aeMaeth> opera has paste and go, also that thing where you can right click and then left click to go back a page, opposite for forward
[12:44] <ruthl> Robinux: i wouldn't recommend elinks for online shopping
[12:44] <aeMaeth> sudo aptitude install chromium-browser
[12:44] <Robinux> and opera?
[12:45] <jldesign> on Dell PowerEdgeT610 (Xeon CPU) install Ubuntu server 10.10 and i have Newtwork problem i get 'Destination Host Unreachable' any help Please
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> !opera | Robinux
[12:45] <ohir> Robinux: using other browser for shopping is as much secure as your basic one, assuming both are patched timely.
[12:45] <qdii> seriously is there a place where beer is free or something ?
[12:46] <aeMaeth> Robinux, http://www.opera.com/browser/download/
[12:46] <Robinux> holy crap its gonna need 60MB (lolz i'm on a 8GB vbox so i'm trying to conserv space)

[12:46] <sosaited> I have been trying to find some lyric fetching plugins for either Banshee or Exaile. But unless the artist name and song is exactly the official, it wont find the lyrics. Is there a way to fix this? Like if its 05 Akcent, it should realize its Akcent
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> GlitchMr: what are you trying to achieve?
[12:47] <GlitchMr> Install Xubuntu through Wubi
[12:47] <GlitchMr> I will upload complete log
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> GlitchMr: then you need to mount the iso, use something like magicdisk or daemontools
[12:48] <Robinux> ohir, i thought of using a seperate browser for shopping cuz i figured i dunno it would be safer because of the 'cookies' thing,.....
[12:48] <GlitchMr> I downloaded it through internet

[12:49] <ohir> Robinux: yes, it may give you more privacy. Not security per se
[12:49] <Robinux> ohir: i mean look, i read this article that a website can do things to the cookies you get or whatever, and they can see what pages you've visited so i thought if that's possible they could prolly fetch my card information
[12:49] <GlitchMr> It had previous installation, but I removed it
[12:49] <Robinux> which is why i wanna use one for amazon, ebay... etc

[12:50] <aa__> siema
[12:50] <ohir> Robinux: card information usually is stolen from vendors, not from linux host.

[12:51] <Dr_Willis> If you have the iso allready >:)
[12:51] <zamba> how do i roll out gconf2 configuration when preseeding a computer?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> I dont reccomend using WUBI at all however.

[12:51] <aHardyX> Umm.......on booting I am getting this error: "init not found" What should I do?
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> GlitchMr: ok, did you MD5 test the wubi file? are you running the app as an admin?
[12:52] <GlitchMr> It asked me through UAC, so yes
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> GlitchMr: i recommend you download the ISO yourself and MD5 test it, then mount the file using magicdick / daemontools. You can then install wubi from the CD
[12:54] <GlitchMr> 436 MB (bajtów: 457 703 424)
[12:54] <GlitchMr> ok... it doesn't seem to be correct
[12:54] <GlitchMr> It shouldn't be 436 MB, I think so
[12:54] <aHardyX> I tried mountting the partition thru live cd but it does not respond
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> GlitchMr: it should be 700Mb ish, its a bad image
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> GlitchMr: if you do it manually so YOU know it's good, you will get fewer issues
[12:55] <Robinux> waw ActionParsnip thanks for that cmd, i now have the most update version of chromium browser :)
[12:55] <Robinux> it first installed 7.0 now i have 9.0 :o
[12:55] <ohir> Robinux: so move there if you wanna discuss your 'be secure' plan
[12:55] <Robinux> damn you're fast ohir
[12:56] <Robinux> 'be secure in 'ubuntu''
[12:56] <Robinux> :P
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> Robinux: its badass and chews less ram than irefox
[12:57] <GlitchMr> What CD should I use for wubi - desktop or alternate?
[12:57] <Robinux> oh thats good cuz firefox takes like 40% of the 400MB ram i dedicated to my vbox
[12:57] <Robinux> sometimes more
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> GlitchMr: desktop
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Robinux: it also precaches DNS so browsing is a littel accellerated
[12:59] <Robinux> ActionParsnip, you mean chormium, ....nice!
[12:59] <GlitchMr> lol, the list of users took 11 pages in irssi...
[12:59] <GlitchMr> It's very big channel
[12:59] <Robinux> the biggest in the world :)
[13:00] <IcedEarth> #irssi
[13:00] <IcedEarth> whoops
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> Robinux: any better for you?
[13:01] <Robinux> ActionParsnip, i just started my first session of chromium seeming alright, thanks
[13:02] <Robinux> it wants me to choose search engine i think i'll go for no other than GooGle
[13:03] <Vogg> hello : can any1 help me with a simple installation question - thanks
[13:03] <Hazamonzo> hmm, i can't seem to find the name of the sun java package on 10.10 ....
[13:04] <sagaci> Vogg: what's the problem
[13:04] <aHardyX> please can someone help me  :(
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> Hazamonzo:  its int eh partners repository
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> !java | Hazamonzo
[13:04] <sagaci> !ask aHardyX
[13:05] <Vogg> sagaci, i want to install 10.10 on a pc which already has windows xp installed on it - i have a spare partition of 12GB to install to
[13:05] <aHardyX> I am not able to boot I am getting this error: "init not found". This happened after a power failure
[13:06] <Vogg> sagaci, i need to know which boot loader to select during installation
[13:06] <sagaci> Vogg: have you only got one hard drive
[13:06] <Puddel> N00b question; after clean install of Netbook 10.10 from USB pen, I only get a flashing cursor after restart.. What did I do wrong? (IBM X41)
[13:07] <Hazamonzo> Thanks Dr_Willis
[13:07] <Vogg> the choices are Dev/sda ATA generic drive or Dev\sda1 Windows XP (Loader)
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> aHardyX:  i would suggest booting with a live cd and fscking the filesystems to verify they are 'good' and hopefully fix any errors.
[13:07] <Vogg> yes i only have 1 hard drive
[13:07] <sagaci> aHardyX: use a live cd or usb to backup your data first
[13:07] <sagaci> Vogg: well it should be by default, something like /dev/sda
[13:08] <sagaci> Vogg: sorry, didn't see your previous post, install it to the /dev/sda ata one
[13:08] <dingurt> Puddel:  so no grub then?
[13:08] <sagaci> Vogg: not the Windows XP one
[13:09] <Puddel> dingurt: grub?
[13:09] <adrelino> does anyone now how I can dualboot macosx and ubuntu on my hackintosh-pc, e.g. which file do i need to edit for grub2 and which tools to run ... the actual entry should be similar to windows (chainload)
[13:09] <Vogg> sagaci, ok .. thanks
[13:10] <dingurt> Puddel:  GRUB is how linux boots.
[13:10] <dingurt> Puddel:  the first thing you should see after the POST is the GRUB bootloader
[13:10] <Puddel> dingurt: ah - no, nothing after the ibm start screen, just flashing cursor
[13:10] <dingurt> Puddel:  if not, then the bootloader isn't loading
[13:11] <Puddel> dingurt: I would suspect that - but shouldnt that be installed and configured by the installer?
[13:11] <dingurt> Puddel:  you would think so, but things happen... I would get to a console prompt and run grub-install
[13:12] <dingurt> Puddel:  but do a little research on the command
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | adrelino
[13:12] <ixik> Hey, suddenly my ubuntu 10.04 started to map the keys of 'k' as 2 and so on...
[13:12] <ixik> how can i change it back to the normal keyboard mapping
[13:12] <ixik> ?
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> ixik:  if its a laptop. there  may be some fn key thing. you might have the numpad feature enabled.
[13:12] <amarcolino> how do I identify a disk partition by its UUID?
[13:12] <bremby> hi. when I select some mp3s in nautilus and press return to open them in totem, the playlist is unsorted. in previous versions of ubuntu it was always sorted to their filename. any way to change it back?
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> !uuid | amarcolino
[13:13] <sagaci> amarcolino: sudo blkid
[13:13] <ixik> Dr_Willis: so why does it happen just when i login to gnome?
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> ixik:  no idea.  IS this a laptop?
[13:13] <B-r00t> ixik: try setxkbmap -layout us -model pc105
[13:13] <ixik> yes it is laptop
[13:13] <Puddel> dingurt: thanks! it should be possible to do this while running ubuntu from the usb, right?
[13:14] <ixik> and i think i DID play with fn keys
[13:14] <ixik> ok guys, thanks
[13:14] <ixik> playing again wtih the fn keys did solve it
[13:14] <ixik> :-)
[13:15] <dingurt> Puddel:  yep :D
[13:15] <Puddel> dingurt: thanks again, will try that ;)
[13:17] <amarcolino> thanks Dr_Willis & sagaci, before I become silent again is it more secure using the disk UUID or the partition it belongs to as I have been having an issue that I ahve to atempt to restart my system a couple of time before it boots and the last message printed is ureadhead main process terminated with status 5. Google threads tells me that the problem is not with ureadhead but might be something in my fstab and I suspect it's the bo
[13:18] <sagaci> amarcolino: uuid is much more reliable
[13:18] <bremby> sagaci: why?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> bremby: UUIDs don't change as new drives are added, sda sdb etc will
[13:20] <aHardyX> sagaci: I am not able to mount my partition. It says the opration is still pending
[13:20] <sagaci> what ActionParsnip said
[13:20] <bremby> sda doesn't change if you don't change your partition table
[13:20] <adrelino> wow thats cool didnt have to customize anything... just a simle sudo update-grub2 did the trick for adding macosx
[13:20] <adrelino> thanks guys
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> bremby: if you change your drive to a different controller or from primary master to primary slave then add another drive as primary master, it will
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> amarcolino:  'secure' dosent really fit into it..  UUID's dont normally cahnge. thats the main reason to use them
[13:20] <bremby> if you're on a common computer with one harddrive
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> amarcolino:  i see that uahead message on all my machines. they all seem to be working fine.
[13:21] <bremby> ActionParsnip: yeah, I do that all the time
[13:21] <Puddel> dingurt: seems like grub2 is installe
[13:21] <sagaci> aHardyX: err, you do have backups right?
[13:21] <aHardyX> umm...........yes on my external drive. NTFS
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> bremby: it takes away the risk if you ever do
[13:22] <bremby> ActionParsnip: so it's just to make things dummy-proof
[13:22] <Gargoyle> anyone know a sensible file descriptor "ulimit" for a small intranet / developer team using apache ?
[13:23] <bremby> ActionParsnip: don't worry, I just wanted to know if sagaci knows what's he talking about
[13:23] <schelcj> was wondering if there is some means extending nautilus to allow certain predefined actions to happen when say you enter a directory
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> bremby: it just covers bases so if you start moving disks, you'll get no issues
[13:23] <progre55> hi guys. I'm trying to dual-monitor my laptop with a 24" monitor on ubuntu 10.10 with ATI 5650 graphics, but the max resolution of the 24" screen is 1280x1024 in the catalyst control center. Any suggestions, please?
[13:23] <red2kic> ActionParsnip: It have been a while since I was in this channel. Do you use renameutils?
[13:23]  * G69 Boa tarde
[13:24] <Yerushalmi> Are you guys sure that Memtest actually ends? It seems to complete all the tests and then just do them again. "Pass" up top has reached 100% twice now and it went back to performing Test #1 again.
[13:24] <aHardyX> sagaci: so I have backups so should I reinstall ubuntu?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> red2kic: no, sorry
[13:24] <bremby> Yerushalmi: no it doesn't end
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: it will do a full test then restart again
[13:24] <sagaci> aHardyX: well it may be easier and save time than to try to troubleshoot and recover data
[13:24] <red2kic> ActionParsnip: Ah. I'm trying to remember a nifty command that allows me to rename lot of things at once. Thought it was you or the other nickname I can't remember.
[13:24] <Yerushalmi> So I'm still waiting around here for nothing? :) I'll hit escape then and go on to fsck. For the record, no errors.
[13:24] <bremby> Yerushalmi: after hitting 100% for the first time, you can reboot
[13:25] <Yerushalmi> Now, how do I fsck my drive?
[13:25] <plitter> is there a way to check if my sound card is supported?
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  you can mem test things for days on end :)
[13:25] <aHardyX> sagaci: hmm............the only thing is that I will have to download every software again!
[13:25] <jrib> plitter: trying a live cd is probably the easiest way
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> red2kic: i don't rename that much tbh
[13:25] <sagaci> aHardyX: have fast internet?
[13:26] <bremby> does anyone know, how does totem sort its playlist?
[13:26] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: you said to use a liveUSB. I have a second Ubuntu installation on a second drive, can I just load that up instead?
[13:26] <aHardyX> sagaci: nope thats the problem!
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: that'll do it, as long as the partition is unmounted, you can check it
[13:26] <gnu|2> hey
[13:27] <sagaci> well ah, I don't have the time nor the expertise to advise in repairing
[13:27] <amarcolino> Dr_Willis, sagaci:  no worries that completely removes my assumption, guess need to do more reading to identify why it fails to boot
[13:27] <gnu|2> ubuntu is asking to authenticate while using administrative tasks and there is no provision to enter password, i mean password area is not there
[13:28] <phaedral> looking for a workspace manager that autoscrolls between rather than having to click dock or use keyboard
[13:28] <aHardyX> sagaci: is there any other way to repair it other than reinstalling?
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> phaedral: i think if you hold ALT+CTRL and use cursor left/right it switches
[13:28] <jrib> phaedral: autoscrolls between what?
[13:29] <phaedral> ActionParsnip: yes
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> jrib: workspaces
[13:29] <dustin_> phaedral install from synaptic package manager compisconfig
[13:29] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: So what do I type into terminal exactly?
[13:29] <phaedral> dustin_: thanks, will look at that!
[13:29] <jrib> phaedral: compiz could do this at some point.  It's probably some setting you can still configure.  Ask #compiz if no one knows here
[13:29] <phaedral> used to have it in, what, linuxppc-1999 using afterstep...
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: sudo fsck -a /dev/partitionname
[13:30] <dustin_> phaedral you can enable desktop cube or wall from there
[13:30] <phaedral> awesome; thanks
[13:30] <gnu|2> ubuntu is asking to authenticate while using administrative tasks and there is no provision to enter password, i mean password area is not there ....
[13:30] <gnu|2> anybody who knows ... .. ubuntu is asking to authenticate while using administrative tasks and there is no provision to enter password, i mean password area is not there
[13:30] <gnu|2> hey
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> gnu|2: try: gksudo command-you-want-to-run
[13:31] <dustin_> gnu|2 or restart X-sesion
[13:31] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Thanks. Running now.
[13:31] <Milossh> hey. Which ubuntu version would you guys recommend for slow notebook? Like, 1.6GHZ intel atom, 2gb ddr2 ram, integraded graphic
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: thats not slow at all
[13:31] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem (etc)
[13:31] <gnu|2> hey
[13:31] <Yerushalmi> Which it isn't, it's ext4.
[13:32] <jrib> Milossh: 10.04 or 10.10 should both run fine
[13:32] <dustin_> milossh as long as you use a 32 bit any will run great on it
[13:32] <Xeross> superblock, sounds raidish
[13:32] <Funcan> Hi. Anybody got any pointers for getting grub to work when installing to a kvm virtual machine? grub-install is failing
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: i have ran a full gnome desktop with full compiz no less than that
[13:32] <plitter> jrib: how do you find that out with the live cd?
[13:32] <jrib> plitter: see if you can play sound after booting the live cd
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: if you want to maximize resources for apps then use Lubuntu or XUbuntu
[13:32] <Milossh> thanks, but I really harras my desktop, and will buy a netbook as I need it for work
[13:33] <Milossh> so, I'd really need my apps to run smoothly
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: Lubuntu and XUbuntu use LXDE and XFCE respectively and will be light
[13:33] <Milossh> so, say firefox, thunderbird, pidgin, skype, 2-3 terminal tabs always on
[13:33] <dustin_> milossh if you find a full distro to be a little slow on it you can always use "ubuntu netbook remiox"
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: i'd think about a lighter browser
[13:33] <dustin_> *remix*
[13:33] <Milossh> ActionParsnip: I work for mozilla, thanks :)
[13:34] <Milossh> dusin_: will check that now, thaks
[13:34] <Milossh> *thanks
[13:34] <dustin_> milossh lol you would have killed me for reccomending seamonkey (lighter respin on firefox)
[13:34] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: So what do I do instead?
[13:35] <gnu|2> ubuntu is asking autthentication while using administrative tasks and there is no provision to ente the password
[13:35] <gnu|2> any knows y?/
[13:35] <dustin_> gnu|2 are you running a live disk or full install?
[13:35] <plitter> jrib: i already did that, the thing is i am trying to see if i can use a special option or something so i can make my mic start working
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: Kazenchaze isa lighter version of the browser, less bloated
[13:35] <Milossh> dustin_: no I wouldn't, I like seamonkey project, and personally support it
[13:35] <gnu|2> full install
[13:35] <Milossh> what seamonkey is now, that sometime was mozilla suite ;)
[13:35] <jrib> plitter: just ask your real question
[13:35] <harmus> dustin: seamonkey lighter?
[13:36] <dustin_> milossh whenever I hit a bug in firefox I use seamonkey to get around it
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: sounds like the partition is unhealthy, I am not sure here, websearch the error, see what you find
[13:36] <Milossh> ActionParsnip: I assume you use ie4lin?
[13:36] <Milossh> :)
[13:36] <gnu|2> i cant install anything using software center
[13:36] <jrib> plitter: anyway, run pavucontrol and make sure the mic isn't muted
[13:36] <gnu|2> its asking authentication
[13:36] <Milossh> dustin_: I must say I'm not too proud with our linux builds
[13:36] <dustin_> milossh where do you go to report firefox errors?
[13:36] <Milossh> :/
[13:36] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: So the fact that it's complaining that it's not ext2 doesn't matter? It should work on ext4 anyway?
[13:36] <Milossh> dustin_: bugzilla.mozilla.org
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> gnu|2:  are you runnin it as your initial user? or some other user? try installing via apt-get perhaps?
[13:37] <gnu|2> dustin ... u know?
[13:37] <dustin_> ty
[13:37] <pinoyoragon> In 10.10, When I change my resolution to 1440x900 the top and bottom panels are gone, but i appears when i change it back to 1024x768. Why is that?
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: no, kazehakase. I know what I mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazehakase
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: its firefox with less bloat, so its faster and slicker
[13:37] <gnu|2> dusting: that i know .. bt i cant access any administrative tasks
[13:37] <phaedral> Am I going to have to log out and log in to get simple-cssm changes to take effect?
[13:37] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: It says "If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>.
[13:37] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Should I try that?
[13:37] <plitter> jrib: my mic is not working, but my speakers work. Just want to check if my sound card is supported by alsa and if i can maybe put on some extra option in modprobe.conf to see if it helps
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: sure, if thats what it says
[13:38] <plitter> jrib: according to alsamixer nothing is muted
[13:38] <gnu|2> dustin: i cant acess any administrative tasks
[13:38] <Milossh> ActionParsnip: firefox is not a bloatware
[13:38] <plitter> jrib: except the beep:P
[13:38] <phaedral> Milossh: well, maybe next to Lynx ;)
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: oh it is, get a little flash in it and it baloons up to in excess of 1Gb ram
[13:38] <Milossh> ActionParsnip: it does not
[13:38] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: "e2fsck: No medium found while trying to open /dev/sdb"
[13:38] <phaedral> ActionParsnip: jokes aside, is that a ff problem or flash problem?
[13:39] <gnu|2> dustin : if iam trying to do somehting ... the authentication window comes and shakes and there is no provision to enter password
[13:39] <harmus> Milossh: well, firefox get slower every release, been using it since the beginning but actually starting to like chromium more now because of the speed and using less memory on ubuntu
[13:39] <Milossh> I always have 20+ tabs open and newer more than 300mb of ram taken by fx
[13:39] <sagaci> chromium much better
[13:39] <TheAnachron> hello
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> phaedral: combination, chromium runs using a fraction of the ram on the same site
[13:39] <sagaci> doesn't have as many addos though
[13:39] <Milossh> harmus: have you checked latest beta?
[13:39] <procscsi> Anyone managed to use an Emulex HBA under Ubuntu server?
[13:39] <phaedral> fair enough
[13:39] <Yerushalmi> *sigh* And here I thought it would be fine running my hard drive from an SD card.
[13:39] <Milossh> b7, that is
[13:39] <sagaci> although I only use adblock and youtube dowloader
[13:40] <dustin_> gnu|2 are you using a gnome or kde desktop?
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: I dropped firefox years back, i use it to get the chromium ppa and it takes an age
[13:40] <phaedral> Yerushalmi: I did that for a while with my netbook; it works, but there's no denying it's slower that way
[13:40] <Milossh> ActionParsnip: that's only you
[13:40] <sagaci> Yerushalmi: do a fdisk -l to see what's aboout
[13:40] <gnu|2> dustin: gnome desktop ,... bt recently installe kde
[13:40] <phaedral> was an 8gb sd card with ubuntu 9 on it
[13:40] <harmus> that's right, chromium doesn't have nice developer tools like Yslow and senseo (as far as i know)
[13:40] <Milossh> 25% og the internet inhabitants don't think the same way you do
[13:40] <Yerushalmi> sagaci: Nothing happens.
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: plus all this about:config hacking users need to do to make it usable, its beyond poor
[13:41] <sagaci> Yerushalmi: do a sudo fdisk -l to see what's aboout
[13:41] <Milossh> ActionParsnip: sorry mate, but you're talking nonsense now
[13:41] <Yerushalmi> sagaci: Ah, okay
[13:41] <aj_> i installed linux headers on ubuntu 10.10 x64 , still i am not able to install vmware 7.1.2
[13:41] <Yerushalmi> phaedral: I don't have a problem with speed, I have a problem with the disk apparently in the stages of progressive suicide :p
[13:41] <Milossh> a lot of things are customizable via edit>options
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: microsoft still has majority share ni OS, does that make windows better than Linux??
[13:41] <dustin_> gnu|2 you may be having an issue with the two desktops fighting over privileges....
[13:41] <harmus> Milossh: that's because they don't know about browsers, most ppl use IE and even a lot still use IE6, that doesnt mean they would eally like IE6 more if they knew all about it
[13:41] <Yerushalmi> sagaci: I need to remount it first, don't I? :)
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: www.ubuntugeek.com/speed-up-firefox-web-browser.html - Cached - Similar
[13:42] <Milossh> ActionParsnip: windows has by far better kernel, crapware is making it look bad
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: read the comments at the bottom
[13:42] <sagaci> Yerushalmi: no
[13:42] <aj_> anyone please guide me, i am new to linux
[13:42] <Yerushalmi> sagaci: Because sdb didn't show up at all under devices
[13:42] <Milossh> harmus: that is true for ie, but a one that was able to find and install firefox, probably knows that there are other browsers
[13:43] <TheAnachron> Guys?
[13:43] <Yerushalmi> sagaci: It only gave me sda1 and sda2, which is my backup on-the-hard-drive installation so I don't need to carry around a liveUSB, and my swap drive, respectively
[13:43] <Milossh> firefox doesn't come bundled with windows or anything
[13:43] <sagaci> Yerushalmi: ah ok, look it's after midnight here so you'll hve to look for help elsewhere
[13:43] <harmus> milossh: don't know about that, it took firefox a long time to get a market share
[13:43] <Yerushalmi> sagaci: Hehe, okay, no worries :)
[13:44] <Milossh> harmus: huh? do you know that in the past a lot of ppl working on firefox did it from scratch and volunteerly
[13:44] <Milossh> ?
[13:44] <Yerushalmi> sagaci: You solved my problem, though
[13:44] <Yerushalmi> I'm an idiot, I was fsck-ing sdb and not sdb1
[13:44] <dustin_> well I can safely say that I prefer firefox over winblows internet exploder!
[13:44] <Milossh> harmus: also, do you know that firefox broke the ice?
[13:44] <Milossh> now it's everything easier
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: it uses a lot of the netscape code in the past
[13:44] <Milossh> *everything is
[13:45] <Milossh> ActionParsnip: now? nope
[13:45] <harmus> milossh: I know that, i've been following it since the beginning, ppl like me told other folks about it and the population grew slowly
[13:45] <Yerushalmi> .... which doesn't seem to have made a difference. sdb1 apparently only exists when the drive is mounted, and gets erased from /dev/ otherwise.
[13:45] <harmus> milossh: but now things are a little different
[13:45] <Milossh> harmus: and that's why it took so much time
[13:45] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: What am I doing wrong?
[13:45]  * Yerushalmi really feels lost here :(
[13:45] <Milossh> yeah, and we're gaining nice share piece now
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: sure, but it depends how you mean "in the past"
[13:45] <harmus> milossh: it will take chromium a long time to
[13:46] <Milossh> harmus: I personally don't think chromium will ever replace firefox
[13:46] <dustin_> yerushalmi you could always reboot your computer multiple times and ubuntu will do an auto fsck once every 10-20 boots
[13:46] <TheAnachron> Guys is anybody here having an information about how Unity Desktop will be like?
[13:46] <Milossh> but that's mostly because I know a lot of things that you don't, as I'm always in the loop, as a contributor
[13:46] <Yerushalmi> dustin_: I've never seen it do that before...
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: no browser wil replace any, users can choose as they wish. LUbuntu uses chromium as default browser
[13:46] <harmus> milossh: as a contributor it's best to believe in your product, keep it that way
[13:47] <Pici> !ot
[13:47] <Milossh> harmus: I'm not biased, if that's what you're pointing at
[13:47] <pinoyoragon> In 10.10, When I change my resolution to 1440x900 the top and bottom panels are gone, but i appears when i change it back to 1024x768. Why is that? i have an intel i915GM on Dell inspiron 640m
[13:47] <harmus> milossh: but chromium will surely grow, i dont care if it gets bigger or not, all i want is IE to die
[13:47] <dustin_> Yerusalmi I got aggraveted with it because when I was doing a lot of system reconfigurations I was rebooting 5 times a day
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> Milossh: being in the loop is moot, users see performance on the desktop and in every case I have advised chromium the user has seen a drastic improvement
[13:47] <red2kic> pinoyoragon: Try resetting your panels in 1440x900?
[13:47] <red2kic> !resetpanels | pinoyoragon
[13:47] <TheAnachron> Hey guys
[13:48] <harmus> theanachron: there's a lot to find on google
[13:48] <pinoyoragon> red2kic, ubottu: ok i'll try
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> hi TheAnachron
[13:48] <TheAnachron> harmus I have looked enough in google.
[13:49] <pinoyoragon> red2kic, ubottu: do i have to do this everytime i change resolution?
[13:50] <harmus> milossh: i didnt see that remark, i was not trying to say you're biased
[13:50] <strk> http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/wireless_tools.30.pre9.tar.gz <-- is this the version in 10.10LTS ?
[13:50] <strk> a beta ?
[13:51] <pinoyoragon> red2kic, ubottu: btw the icons on my desktop just flickered then no panels appeared...
[13:51] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: I'm trying to fsck sdb1, but I'm not allowed to do it while it's mounted because of, quote, severe filesystem damage - but I can't seem to unmount it without sdb1 disappearing from the dev folder. Am I doing something wrong here?

[13:51] <red2kic> pinoyoragon: Well, does it work?
[13:52] <red2kic> pinoyoragon: When I plug in external monitor to the laptop or second monitor, panels (and positions) often can be found shuffled around.
[13:52] <Pici> strk: 10.10 is not an LTS.  And yes, the version for wireless-tools is '30~pre9-3ubuntu4' in 10.10.
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  You may want to use a live cd. to fsck your filesystms. that way they are all unmounted
[13:52] <kryl> since many month I have a problem with ubuntu and backlight with thinkpad (lenovo) t510i ! Does anybody can help me to fix that please ? I can't use functions keys, and no software to fix the backlight too.
[13:52] <strk> oh
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: sounds bad, you may want to use dd to take an image of the whole disk, just in case, you can then use testdisk (or maybe gparted) to define the partitions again, but don't format
[13:53] <kronos003> what is the min amount of ram and hd required for the Bare VM install of 10.04LTS with SSH APT and nothing else?
[13:53] <strk> Pici: ah, I meant 10.04 :)
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> red2kic:  the panel likes to default to the monitor thats the 'primary display' fromw hat ive seen. You can drag the panels back and forth - alt-click on panel and drag it to where you want
[13:53] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: Wait, that's not supposed to happen? (What's dd?)
[13:53] <pinoyoragon> red2kic: that's it... i'm using an external monitor also and it doesn't appear even if i tried using those commands
[13:53] <Pici> strk: Same version in 10.04 :)
[13:53] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: Using a different installation of Ubuntu on a different drive doesn't help?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  IF the fulesystem is unmounted -  You can do that.
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:   so sudo umount /media/whatever or wherver its at.
[13:54] <strk> Pici: eh... which is bogus. I get garbage essid with that. Only way to connect is logging into GNOME !?!?
[13:54] <red2kic> pinoyoragon: You said 24" monitor?
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: its a bit by bit copying tool
[13:54] <strk> http://strk.keybit.net/tmp/GARBAGE_ESSID_BUG <---
[13:54] <red2kic> pinoyoragon: Well, either way. I wonder if your laptop's graphic card is powerful enough to manage both displays?
[13:54] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: Aha! Thanks.
[13:55] <Yerushalmi> ActionParsnip: I guess I just wasn't unmounting it correctly. I literally have no idea what I'm doing.
[13:55] <pinoyoragon> red2kic: I'll try the suggestion of Dr_Willis to make it the default display... will be back...
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> !mount | Yerushalmi
[13:55] <Yerushalmi> ...fsck shouldn't take less than a second to run,s hould it?
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  dont access teh disk befor trying the fsck. :) the gui auto-mounts it on first access most likely

[13:59] <echo310infantry> any good channel to troubleshoot desktop nova?
[13:59] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: I see. Just so you have the background, I have problems with not being able to run video, which led to the discovery that for some reason I don't have the permissions I'm supposed to, which led to the conclusion that there might be a problem with the drive.
[14:00] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: So now I'm completely lost and have no idea where to go from here.
[14:00] <echo310infantry> i think it because my second hhd does not mount quick enough
[14:00] <erUSUL> strk: wpa ?
[14:00] <pinoyoragon> red2kic, Dr_Willis: We made it! I switched off the monitor of laptop in gnome-control-center and the panels appeared! Thanks guys!
[14:01] <red2kic> pinoyoragon: Nice. :o
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: i'd reinstall after wiping the drive, then restore data from backups. You will then have a stable file system

[14:04] <ActionParsnip> hi BluesKaj
[14:04] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: Basically, anytime I run vlc, mplayer, or totem, I get a segfault, even if I'm opening it without opening a file or just using --help. When prefixing the command with gksudo, none of them give segfaults, but vlc and mplayer simply don't open, while totem works fine. When opening them from a separate, temporary account, totem also works, but the other two still give segfaults.

[14:13] <Derp_> Hi guys. I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from a USB drive and just can't seem to get it going. I downloaded 10.10 (desktop version) on my Windows PC and used the USB-creator to install it to my drive. However, after changing the boot sequence I keep getting it hanged at a line that begins with Syslinux ... any ideas?
[14:13] <gdoteof> well
[14:14] <Braber01> um tcpdump is a packet sniffer right?
[14:14] <AnxiousNut> aurilliance, yes, IE 8, here: http://is.gd/gW3W5
[14:14] <harmus> gdoteof, 10.10 has the newest thunderbird and firefox, have you tried installing the packages from 10.10 directy in your version of ubuntu?
[14:15] <harmus> gdoteof, or do you need the update functionality?
[14:15] <gdoteof> harmus: well balls then.  no.. I haven't.   I was hoping to keep everything managed by aptitude
[14:15] <Goodgame> hello
[14:15] <Goodgame> my mouse has at least 3 buttons non-used, how can I configure it?
[14:15] <realcooluser> Derp_: I think you can pass boot options, try noacpi.  Perhaps there is something that your system doesn't like.
[14:15] <gdoteof> harmus: all i really need/want is to try the latest thunderbird.  i need a new mail client.. evolution doesn't play along with my window manager
[14:15] <aurilliance> AnxiousNut, many thanks for that link mate
[14:15] <Braber01> um is tcpdump a packet sniffer?
[14:16] <harmus> gdoteof, let me search a bit
[14:16] <trans> hello everyone
[14:16] <AnxiousNut> aurilliance, anytime pal ;)

[14:18] <WilliamHerry> why after i install or remove some package, some software exit
[14:18] <WilliamHerry> seems only happened on ubuntu
[14:19] <WilliamHerry> can everyone help me? to figure out it
[14:19] <harmus> gdoteof, you can also do a live boot with 10.10 and see if you like the new thunderbird, i really do
[14:19] <ikonia> WilliamHerry: can you give me an example
[14:19] <WilliamHerry> fcitx,
[14:19] <gdoteof> harmus: that isn't going to keep things managed by aptitude though is it?  is there an advantage to that other than just grabbing the binary from mozillamessaging.com
[14:19] <ikonia> gdoteof: I would very strongly advise you not to install that package
[14:19] <houssem> slt il y a qlq qui parle français
[14:19] <harmus> gdoteof, oh im sorry, you're right
[14:19] <Pici> !fr| houssem
[14:19] <gdoteof> ikonia: er which package
[14:19] <ikonia> WilliamHerry: I don't know what that application is
[14:20] <ikonia> gdoteof: the fedora package
[14:20] <WilliamHerry> after install or remove some package, it shows a Z when i use ps aux | grep fcitx
[14:20] <houssem> ok
[14:20] <WilliamHerry> it is a input method software
[14:20] <gdoteof> ikonia: ok.  yeah thanks i don't think I will.. but i appreciate the detective work harmus.
[14:20] <ikonia> WilliamHerry: what did you remove  ?
[14:20] <john5060> how can you add or remove screensavers to system
[14:20] <gdoteof> ikonia: is there anyway I can get thunderbird 3 managed by aptitude on ubuntu 9.10
[14:20] <SpyderBite> probably share a dependency, WilliamHerry
[14:21] <gdoteof> i suppose i could just update my system but that takes so long
[14:21] <WilliamHerry> any package, shouldn't be dependency
[14:21] <ikonia> gdoteof: thunderbird 3 is in 10.10 only
[14:21] <twister004> hii guys... I am facing a small problem.. I have an SMB server.. smb shares... from which I want to attach files to emails that I send
[14:21] <ikonia> WilliamHerry: what package did you remove
[14:21] <twister004> unfortunately, I am not able to attach or see the shares on my machine when I want to attach the files.. im using Thunderbird email client
[14:21] <twister004> please advise
[14:22] <ikonia> twister004: what's the error
[14:22] <SpyderBite> are the smb shares mounted, twister004 ?
[14:22] <gdoteof> well i am about due for a reinstall anyway.  maybe this will be the straw
[14:22] <WilliamHerry> whatever package i remove, fcitx will exit, i guess
[14:22] <twister004> ikonia.. i dont see the shares
[14:22] <harmus> twister004, can you access the files if you go to ~\.gvfs\samba share name?
[14:22] <ikonia> twister004: where are they mounted ?
[14:22] <ikonia> WilliamHerry: which package did you remove before it started failing
[14:22] <BluesKaj> twister004, copy the file to your home dir fist then attach
[14:22] <trans> I have problem with sound system, I hear button/ confirmation sound  after a short gap, how to rectify it?
[14:23] <lhogie> Hi guys, I just installed (and updated) Ubuntu on my Dell Precision 380.... Everthing is fine execpt that eth0 has to be activated by hand !!! How come?
[14:23] <twister004> BluesKaj.. that's kinda bad dont u  think?
[14:23] <SpyderBite> twister004, try browsing the .gvfs folder instead of going directly to the mount points.. Thunderbird will treat those as local files rather than remote shares.
[14:23] <twister004> ikonia... there's no gvfs folder in my home dir
[14:23] <lhogie> I have to type "ifconfig eth0" "dhclient" every time I reboot the computer :(
[14:23] <ikonia> twister004: where are the shares mounted
[14:23] <ikonia> twister004: where are they mounted
[14:23] <harmus> twister004, type ls ~/.gvfs in the terminal and see if the share is there
[14:24] <WilliamHerry> i am not sure, my mean is once i use software center or apt-get, it exit, no mater what package to install or remove
[14:24] <twister004> ikonia... I dont have them mounted... What i normally do is I go to 'Places->Network->Winodws Network'.and i see the server and shares
[14:24] <harmus> then when you want to attach a file, press ctrl+h when in your home folder, the .gvfs folder will show up
[14:24] <ikonia> lhogie: how have you configured eth0 to auto start
[14:24] <ikonia> twister004: ok - so they need to be mounted
[14:25] <BluesKaj> twister004, no it's not bad , then it's done
[14:25] <harmus> twister004, you're not seeing it because it's hidden, press ctrl+h (means: show hidden files)
[14:25] <gdoteof> am I going to be able to import from evolution into thunderbird?
[14:25] <gdoteof> :( it doesn't see evolution
[14:26] <gdoteof> what the H
[14:26] <harmus> gdoteof, a time consuming workaround is copying the mails to an imap server in evolution and then loading the imap server in thunderbird
[14:26] <ikonia> gdoteof: clam down
[14:26] <ikonia> gdoteof: what format are you exporting from evolution
[14:26] <john5060> I'am new to the system
[14:27] <gdoteof> ikonia: i am drinking chamomile tea in the woods of vermont.  I AM CALM
[14:27] <john5060> can any one help me
[14:27] <ikonia> gdoteof: ok - so what format are you exporting the mails in evolution
[14:27] <twister004> harmus!... amazing!
[14:27] <twister004> thanks!
[14:27] <gdoteof> ikonia: jk.  um.. i haven't even exported.  i was using the import functionality from the tools menu.  i was hoping it would just see the program.. instead it is a blank screen where i choose 'from'
[14:28] <ikonia> gdoteof: ok - so how do you expect something to import if you haven't exported
[14:29] <gdoteof> ikonia: i was under the impression thunderbird was looking for 'expected programs' on the system and importing them automagically.  the ui seems to give that impression
[14:29] <djnihil> alguien me podria ayudar?
[14:29] <gdoteof> i just did a 'backup' of evolution
[14:29] <ikonia> gdoteof: no - your mail is not a program, it's data
[14:29] <djnihil> mi ordenador con ubuntu 10.04 se congela mucho
[14:30] <gdoteof> ikonia: well yeah it's data but that data is stored in certain places by certain programs.  in any case.. when i click import, and go to import 'everything' there isn't a place for me to 'select' data
[14:30] <ikonia> gdoteof: because you need an import file, you need to export your mail before you can import it
[14:31] <gdoteof> ikonia: do i have to put that import file in a certain place?
[14:31] <ikonia> gdoteof: you should be able to browse for it
[14:31] <Luuk> mensen, i kpak de trein, bbl
[14:31] <gdoteof> "This wizard will improt mail mail messages... from other programs'..." well.. it doesn't
[14:31] <gdoteof> ikonia: do you have thunderbird 3?  click the tools, import
[14:31] <ikonia> gdoteof: it does, if you explort
[14:32] <gdoteof> and see what i mean. it really seems that it is trying to look for existing programs
[14:32] <gdoteof> ikonia: i do understand the idea of importing and exporting, but that doesn't seem like it is what this wizard is trying to do
[14:32] <gdoteof> ikonia: there is not an option to browse.
[14:32] <harmus> gdoteof, i can't select evolution either, i copied my mail via an imap server, but there's probably a faster way
[14:33] <gdoteof> ikonia: see!
[14:33] <ikonia> gdoteof: I've just imported a file in thunderbird 3 (1 mail as a test)
[14:33] <ikonia> gdoteof: how are you using thunderbird 3 on 9.10
[14:34] <gdoteof> ikonia: i downloaded it and ran it
[14:34] <gdoteof> http://www.mozillamessaging.com
[14:34] <ikonia> gdoteof: ok - so that's not going to be aware of any applications on your system
[14:34] <gdoteof> ikonia: which is what i was saying before and you told me it wasn't doing that =P
[14:35] <root_> so nobody knows why eth0 is down by default? :(
[14:35] <ikonia> gdoteof: you asked how to import mail from evolution, you can export and import the mail file, the tool your talking about won't work as your 3rd party built thunderbird won't be aware of any applications
[14:35] <ikonia> root_: how did you tell it to come up auto in the first place ?
[14:36] <gdoteof> any idea where the magic that makes thunderbird aware of applications lives?
[14:36] <gdoteof> ikonia: i exported from evolution, i don't see where to import a file
[14:36] <gdoteof> it only lets me select from some list of applications it sees
[14:36] <harmus> ikonia, i believe what you're saying, but on 10.10, both evolution and thunderbird installed (via software center) and they are not aware of each other
[14:37] <adammw111> Hi, I'm trying to install 10.10, what's the reccommended partition size and location?
[14:37] <coz_> adammw111,  are you using the live cd?
[14:37] <adammw111> coz_, yes
[14:37] <ikonia> harmus: yes, I can see that (looking at 10.10 now)
[14:38] <coz_> adammw111,  well I wouldnt give it less than 5 gigs  but you should also see the graphical partition sliders ...yes?
[14:38] <coz_> adammw111,  are you dual booting?
[14:39] <ikonia> gdoteof: the information in this guide does not make good reading for your situation http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/importing_mail_from_evolution?utm_medium=widget&utm_source=widget_mozilla_messaging
[14:39] <adammw111> coz_, i need to do a manual partition as it's a dell and I need to keep the mediadirect partitions. it's not a dual boot, but i'd rather the boot partition logical and the root an extended partition
[14:39] <gdoteof> looks like harmus' solution is the right solution then
[14:40] <coz_> adammw111,  ah  I think I understand... how large is the remiander of the hard drive?
[14:40] <gdoteof> that is wonky as balls
[14:40] <harmus> adammw111, give /boot 2 gigs (to be really sure, 200 megs is enough but you need to clean it once in a while), root like 20 gb to be really sure, and choose how much you want for /home
[14:40] <ikonia> gdoteof: it's certainly not a good process
[14:42] <twister004> harmus... i had a query.. will the .gvfs folder remain if I remove the machine from the network?
[14:42] <harmus> adammw111,  the space for root depends on how much software you're planning to install, if it's really basic like 5 gb is enough
[14:42] <harmus> twister004, the folder will remain but it will be empty
[14:42] <twister004> harmus.. say I connect via pptp to the network... will it get re-populated with the samba shares?
[14:43] <harmus> twister004, yup
[14:43] <kyle_> I'm having some trouble using pitivi, my output works fine, but youtube thinks my ~9 minute videos are 5 hours long
[14:43] <twister004> oh.. then this is gr8!
[14:43] <harmus> twister004, that is, if you connect to the samba shares again
[14:43] <twister004> thanks harmus!!!
[14:43] <kyle_> anyone ever experience this?
[14:43] <twister004> harmus... so I will have to again goto Places->Connect to Server?
[14:43] <adammw111> gparted keeps crashing, does fdisk show extended partitions because I've got one that is "W95 Ext'd (LBA)" but i'm not sure what it is
[14:43] <twister004> and manually connect to each share?
[14:43] <harmus> twister004, you can create a bookmark
[14:44] <twister004> a bookmark for each share?
[14:44] <harmus> twister004, yeah, or 1 bookmark for the server, showing all shares
[14:45] <ohir> ;.//////]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
[14:45] <twister004> hmm
[14:45] <twister004> let me try
[14:45] <rkokkelk> adammw111: fdisk should list all partitions, just do in terminal fdisk -l /dev/(device) to list all
[14:45] <ikonia> ohir: please don't do that
[14:46] <mygeblo> so so so guys, I've just become a ubuntuer :). removed vista for good. had a couple of problems but it's all fixed now
[14:46] <adammw111> So far i've got 5, dell utility, NTFS (C:), W95 Ext'd (LBA), NTFS (D:), dd (mediadirect/unknown/fat32)
[14:47] <ohir> k6mnnnnnnnn[hjn~
[14:48] <twister004> harmus.. I can't add it as a bookmark
[14:48] <gdoteof> probably a cat on his keyboard
[14:48] <twister004> harmus.. I can only add the .gvfs folder as a bookmark.. nothing under it
[14:48] <twister004> it just disappears
[14:49] <rkokkelk> adammw111: haven't seen it before but you could google it to get more info oabout it
[14:49] <nikos> ?
[14:50] <ikonia> nikos: what ?
[14:50] <AR_> how do i make it not ask my for password after my screen goes to sleep
[14:50] <AbhiJit> AR_, its setting in your screensaver preferences
[14:50] <netzapper> is there a super-simple logging program? I essentially want the equivalent of "program_to_log | cat > mine.log", except with log rotation. I'd also accept something that simply truncates logs after a certain size.
[14:50] <ikonia> AR_: set the screen saver to lock, and make sure the screensaver is shorter than the sleep option
[14:51] <ikonia> netzapper: what exactly do you want to log ?
[14:51] <AR_> where is screensaver options
[14:51] <AR_> oh nvm
[14:51] <AR_> found it
[14:51] <netzapper> ikonia: I have a mess of tiny daemons running through daemontools, and I'd like their stdout put into log files (one each).
[14:51] <ikonia> netzapper: nohup them
[14:51] <adammw111> would there be any problems with a /boot of 1GB?
[14:52] <ikonia> adammw111: it would be a massive waste, but no
[14:52] <netzapper> ikonia: I didn't realize that nohup was a logging tool.
[14:52] <adammw111> ikonia, apparently, i actually have to waste 2gb. stupid dell
[14:52] <ikonia> netzapper: it's not, but it will send the std out to nohup.out
[14:53] <netzapper> ikonia: nohup doesn't play nice with daemontools... the latter is non-negotiable.
[14:53] <ikonia> netzapper: just use a redirect then such as 2>out.txt
[14:54] <netzapper> right, but that doesn't fulfill the second part of my requirements which is that there is some upper bound on the log file size. I'm fully aware I could just redirect, but that's insufficient.
[14:54] <nsahoo> hi, does anyone use iFolder here?
[14:54] <ikonia> netzapper: use log rotate
[14:55] <kyle_> just a question:  Why would you need the /boot to be 1 GB?
[14:56] <adammw111> i don't but that's the minimum C: drive size i can set
[14:56] <netzapper> ikonia: okay, so what you're saying is that, no, you don't know of a tool that fits my bill. Thanks for trying.
[14:56] <ikonia> netzapper: the solution I've given you will fit your bill
[14:56] <adammw111> does anyone know how to stop gparted crashing on the livecd?
[14:56] <kyle_> I haven't been here for the whole conversation adamm, can you briefly tell me what you are trying to do
[14:58] <adammw111> well, at the moment the idea is to install the standard dell partitions so it will be happy then use the "C: drive" space for /boot, and make the rest of the partitions in the extended partitions
[14:58] <adammw111> or is that also a bad idea?
[14:58] <nullie> Hello. Anyone knows how to make bell work in gnome?
[14:59] <Shadowcat> using a windows root as a boot partition
[14:59] <Shadowcat> that's so not a good idea
[14:59] <adammw111> well it doesnt actually have windows installed on it
[15:00] <Shadowcat> it's that 200mb recovery partition that Windows 7 installs isn't it?
[15:00] <BluesKaj> adammw111, the gparted-live cd or ubuntu-live cd , crashes?
[15:00] <adammw111> BluesKaj, the ubuntu 10.10 live cd. "Disk Utility" and fdisk work, but gparted dies scanning /dev/sda
[15:01] <Paddy_NI> I used gnome-phone-manager to send sms from my mobile broadband dongle on lucid but on maverick it does not detect the device
[15:01] <Paddy_NI> Mobile broadband still works fine though
[15:01] <adammw111> Shadowcat, my dell's too old for recovery partitions i think. it's got a "utility" partition thogh which is at the start of the drive, but i haven't touched that
[15:01] <kyle_> adam, is XP installed on the pc?
[15:02] <Guest17140> i've got a a VPS that I installed
[15:02] <adammw111> no os is installed yet, dell has just partitioned it for xp
[15:02] <Guest17140> (oops, sorry)
[15:02] <BluesKaj> adammw111, best to burn a gparted live cd and use that as your partition editor ..if you are installing from the ubuntu live cd then let it'd embedded partition editor do the partitoning .. there are 3 options
[15:02] <kyle_> Ok, so are you trying to do a clean format?
[15:03] <Firefishe> I'm using ubuntu/kubuntu 10.04 LTS.  I did this command earlier today:  sudo rm -rf *.la /usb/lib/*  -- How can I fix this problem?  I'm currently using a live cd on the affected computer.
[15:03] <goltoof> adammw111,   what on earth are you doing mixing xp and linux partitions?
[15:03]  * ohir apologizes for his cat playing :/
[15:03] <aeon-ltd> Paddy_NI: sounds like the new kernel had parts of the module removed then, you may need to just find it, compile, and load via modprobe
[15:03] <adammw111> clean install, i need the weird dell partitons so not a clean format. and im trying not to have any xp partitions.
[15:03] <echo310infantry> I know this isn't the correct channel but is there a more robust IRC client the Konversation?
[15:03] <joe1985> Anyone know how I can install Ubuntu?
[15:04] <ikonia> !install | joe1985
[15:04] <joe1985> I spent several hours yesterday trying to install it to no avail.
[15:04] <echo310infantry> what was the issue joel
[15:04] <kyle_> What are the weird dell partitions that you need?  recovery partitions?
[15:04] <kerin> i've got a a VPS that I installed Intrepid on two years ago.  i didn't remember to distupgrade in time, and now none of the repos for the release seem to still exist.  how should i proceed? i haven't done a package upgrade in at least six months so i imagine a lot of things are out of date.
[15:05] <saha> hi
[15:05] <petan> saha need help?
[15:05] <saha> yes
[15:05] <petan> saha: with what
[15:05] <joe1985> echo, My setup is AMD onboard RAID0 with Windows 7. My Ubuntu install was to go on my Kingston SSD which was not part of the RAID. When I chose the drive it would appear to install just fine but upon reboot it would say "error no file found. rescue >"
[15:06] <adammw111> "MediaDirect" (2.2gb,fat32) which is the last partion inside the extended and dellutility (49mb,fat16) which is at the start. all the other space (480gb) is for ubuntu with whatever you reccommend.
[15:06] <saha> im a new member of ubento
[15:06] <saha> and i need a vpn
[15:06] <ArkAnGiCIA> leelooo multipass
[15:06] <Paddy_NI> aeon-ltd, Parts of the module?  How do you mean.. they just reduced its functionality?
[15:06] <petan> saha: openvpn is good
[15:07] <ArkAnGiCIA> bada bouum
[15:07] <saha> where
[15:07] <echo310infantry> sometimes its best to disconnect drives not in use at the time of install
[15:07] <multipass> autowash
[15:07] <petan> saha: apt-get install openvpn
[15:07] <saha> ok
[15:07] <petan> saha: also openvpn.net
[15:07] <ArkAnGiCIA> saha la bess ?
[15:07] <joe1985> echo, I'll give that a shot
[15:07] <joe1985> thnx
[15:07] <saha> thanks
[15:07] <aeon-ltd> Paddy_NI: a separate module may handle the sms side of the dongles functionality
[15:08] <Paddy_NI> aeon-ltd, Ah I see
[15:08] <echo310infantry> the last time i did an install my externals stopped it and caused freezes
[15:08] <Paddy_NI> aeon-ltd, have never compiled a kernel before :P
[15:08] <saha> petan in my country is not working
[15:08] <Paddy_NI> aeon-ltd, I take it a little investigative work is needed to isolate what has been removed
[15:08] <petan> saha why
[15:09] <AshleyT> Hey, my sound works fine in windows...but doesnt in Ubuntu...its connected through a hdmi cable though...could ubuntu not be liking this? (dual monitors also)
[15:09] <saha> i live in persian
[15:09] <petan> saha: openvpn should work anywhere
[15:09] <saha> and this site is block
[15:09] <petan> saha: apt-get install openvpn
[15:10] <echo310infantry> irc.freenode.net
[15:10] <Aufwind> I am using TorProject (Vidala + Tor Button) to hide my ip online. With firefox it works great. Now I have a script (parsing google Scholar) and I want to change the ip for every request I do, so I stay hidden from big brother. How is this managable? If vidala is on, does this mean, that anything, that I do with ma computer runs through the Tor network or only the things I make with firefox?
[15:10] <saha> r u have sorus
[15:10] <adammw111> ok i think i've decided what will work (sorry i keep being confusing and changing my mind). how much space would you need for a fairly large ubuntu installation (programs only, not /home)?
[15:10] <kyle_> hm, have you tried to just straight install and manualy specify the partitions?
[15:10] <goltoof> Aufwind,     have you got it working with xchat?
[15:10] <goltoof> Aufwind,    trying to work on that now
[15:11] <kyle_> I would say no more than 20 GB for /
[15:11] <saha> paten r u have source of this vpn
[15:11] <Aufwind> goltoof: Nope, I didn't. I don't use xchat.
[15:11] <petan> saha: type in terminal sudo apt-get install openvpn
[15:11] <Aufwind> goltoof: I just want my python script to run through the tor network
[15:12] <Aufwind> Someone got an idea about that?
[15:12] <saha> what
[15:12] <petan> saha: are you using ubuntu? that will install it.
[15:12] <goltoof> Aufwind,    well, tor needs to be configured to work with whatever you're doing  just like Firefox, or xchat for that matter..    you're not hidden just because you have it running
[15:12] <goltoof> Aufwind,   maybe you already know that
[15:12] <Guest50171> hello
[15:12] <saha> no not this time is begining
[15:13] <Aufwind> goltoof: Yes, but I don't know how to configure tor, so that it works with my terminal... You got a hint for me?
[15:13] <djzn> what does it mean "Poll every 10 miliseconds"
[15:13] <petan> saha: ok so you need vpn but on what OS
[15:13] <saha> in ubento
[15:14] <goltoof> Aufwind,    no sorry,  i asked a similar question yesterday but it's all a bit beyond me right now
[15:14] <herpinderp> hi all
[15:14] <saha> i have vpn in windows but not working in ubento
[15:14] <Aufwind> goltoof: Thank you anyway and good look for your own problem. =)
[15:14] <petan> saha: ubento?
[15:14] <ghettobillgates> sup dudes
[15:14] <ghettobillgates> Ubuntu 10 is sweet
[15:14] <gamerpro2000> No its not
[15:14] <ghettobillgates> anyone want to be my friend
[15:14] <saha> yes
[15:14] <goltoof> petan:  yeah, ubento... nobody uses ubuntu anymore
[15:15] <gamerpro2000> Ubuntu is a horrendious nightmare
[15:15] <petan> saha: you mean ubuntu
[15:15] <AbhiJit> !ot | ghettobillgates
[15:15] <saha> yes
[15:15] <ghettobillgates> thanks AbhiJit beti
[15:15] <kyle_> 10 as in .04 or as in .10
[15:15] <ghettobillgates> .10
[15:15] <Shadowcat> 10.04 is too new to be properly supported by most things
[15:15] <ghettobillgates> is .04 hated on or liked compared to .10
[15:15] <petan> saha: sudo apt-get install openvpn type that to terminal
[15:15] <gamerpro2000> Both are being horrendiously nightmare-ish for me
[15:15] <Shadowcat> err 10.10 I mean
[15:15] <ghettobillgates> what do you use?
[15:15] <Shadowcat> 10.10 is way too new
[15:15] <kyle_> I just upgraded to 10.10 this morning
[15:16] <gnu|2> hello
[15:16] <ghettobillgates> I got amy android dev setup so I am happy
[15:16] <kyle_> everything seems fine for what I use it for
[15:16] <petan> saha: terminal can be launch from menu
[15:16] <goltoof> gamerpro2000,    have you tried any other distros?  debian? fedora?
[15:16] <aeon-ltd> Paddy_NI: you don't need to compile a kernel, just laod the module at boot
[15:16] <aeon-ltd> *laod
[15:16] <AshleyT> Hey, my sound works fine in windows...but doesnt in Ubuntu...its connected through a hdmi cable though...could ubuntu not be liking this? (dual monitors also)
[15:16] <aeon-ltd> *load
[15:16] <Shadowcat> kyle_: most commercial software work around the LTS releases
[15:16]  * ghettobillgates gives saha chai
[15:16] <Shadowcat> VMWare Tools doesn't even compile properly in 10.10
[15:16] <saha> i donot find it
[15:17] <saha> ok
[15:17] <gamerpro2000> goltoof, its not the distro.  Its the fact that all debian distros have decided to adopt the new GDM and KDM configs.  No, my multiseatX environment is broken and throwing fits and the patched stuff for it DOESN'T work
[15:17] <petan> saha: Application ->accessories
[15:17] <gamerpro2000> and of course, it worked with 8.04, but now that's not supported anymore
[15:17] <tortoise> Hello everyone. I'm having some problems with my wired eth0. It's always worked fine, but I just booted up and it's saying "device not managed" under wired networks. I'm not sure what exactly this means.
[15:18] <gamerpro2000> tortoise
[15:18] <gamerpro2000> reboot
[15:18] <Aufwind> goltoof: Did you see that? http://bit.ly/caargk XChat is listed below...
[15:18] <gamerpro2000> This is linux.  You have to reboot more than Windows to get it to work right
[15:18] <kyle_> I'm not a power user or anything, I compile stuff with gcc from time to time, but I probably wouldn't notice a feature if it were broken
[15:18] <kyle_> lol
[15:18] <saha> ok find it
[15:18] <tortoise> gamerpro2000: alright, I'll be right back if that doesn't work
[15:18] <saha> and then
[15:19] <gamerpro2000> Does anyone know how to resolve a segmentation fault signal 13?
[15:19] <joe85> what would cause Ubuntu to not see my SSD in the installation menu?
[15:19] <Keshi> On Ubuntu 10.10 using both the Sun Java plugin and the icedtea plugin java applets crash most of the time when loading.
[15:19] <kyle_> turn off the computer
[15:19] <kyle_> I've had that problem too keshi
[15:19] <gamerpro2000> joe85, sata?
[15:19] <petan> saha: type sudo apt-get install openvpn
[15:19] <joe85> gamerpro2000, yeah. I can see it when I login to LiveCD
[15:20] <kyle_> have you tried the alternate ISO
[15:20] <coz_> Keshi,   I would open synaptic   hit search and type  icedtea  and remove "all" that are listed there
[15:20] <goltoof> Aufwind,    no I haven't..  i just followed the steps at the project site  since the other isn't kept up to date (as they say)  https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian
[15:20] <goltoof> Aufwind,   i'll try it though, thanks!
[15:20] <gamerpro2000> joe85, try the alternative install method
[15:20] <gamerpro2000> and see if it helps
[15:20] <Aufwind> goltoof: yw
[15:20] <tortoise> gamerpro2000: it's giving me the same message
[15:21] <Keshi> I will have a look. I do not think icedtea is running as a plugin in firefox at all though.
[15:21] <gamerpro2000> So, what does it matter?  Can you not connect ot the network or something?
[15:21] <brianBTB> who controls SS repo updates?
[15:21] <tortoise> Not with a wired connection
[15:21] <saha> wow some download is getting
[15:21] <gamerpro2000> tortoise, does it interfere with your ability to get online?
[15:21] <joe85> gamerpro2000, what do you mean alternate install? I don't see that option
[15:21] <tortoise> No
[15:22] <gamerpro2000> joe85, you need to download the alternate install iso
[15:22] <saha> after this progresss where is installing this porogram
[15:22] <joe85> gamerpro2000, thanks. I should have looked that up. sry
[15:22] <gamerpro2000> tortoise, that means that another application besides network manager is managing your network adapter.  If it doesn't affect your ability to connect, don't worry about it
[15:22] <gamerpro2000> joe85, its cool.  Hope it helps
[15:22] <petan> saha: openvpn works in terminal but it is not so hard to launch
[15:22] <saha> petan thanks
[15:23] <petan> saha: you will need to set up server then you will be able to connect to it
[15:23] <lock> hey, how to reset/renew ip in ubuntu?
[15:23] <petan> saha: with openvpn client
[15:23] <tortoise> gamerpro2000: it doesn't affect my ability to connect, but it does affect my ability to connect via a wired connection, therefore I want to fix it. If you don't know how to fix it, then that's fine.
[15:23] <lock> !ubottu
[15:23] <saha> ok

[15:24] <gamerpro2000> tortoise, how are you connecting now?  You just told me a few minutes ago that it didn't affect your ability to connect.
[15:24] <gamerpro2000> That's why I said don't worry about it
[15:24] <lock> hey, how to reset/renew ip in ubuntu?
[15:24] <tortoise> I'm connected wirelessly, obviously my wired connection is a lot faster so I want to be able to connect wired but that's the part that's not working
[15:24] <BluesKaj> !interfaces
[15:25] <Aufwind> goltoof: Sorry, but not into this stuff, either. I just passed the link to you, because I remembered, that you are looking for sth. that has to do with TOR and Xchat. :)

[15:39] <dlynes_laptop> Also, is there a way to tell it not to show the splash screen, so that I can actually interact with the install?
[15:39] <gamerpro2000> Sorry, Signal 11
[15:39] <gamerpro2000> Not 13

[15:41] <goltoof> is there a cli tool that shows all system specs?  ram, disk usage, temp, process, etc   kind of like a screenlet, but all in one in terminal

[15:42] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[15:43] <silv3r_m00n> on my gnome desktop I can't right click , there is now background wallpaper and no icons
[15:43] <silv3r_m00n> but I can use menu to launch and use applications
[15:43] <silv3r_m00n> how to fix ?
[15:43] <LjL> goltoof: i don't know, but you could easily write a script that calls all the programs you want in a row.
[15:43] <echo310infantry> restart
[15:43] <coz_> silv3r_m00n,  yikes   yes a restart would be the first thing
[15:43] <silv3r_m00n> this problem has been there for 3 days
[15:43] <goltoof> LjL     i can't, someone else can/has I'm sure
[15:44] <coz_> silv3r_m00n,  ooo  ok so a restart did not work
[15:44] <kyle_> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[15:44] <silv3r_m00n> the main ubuntu account is fine , this account was created later
[15:44] <echo310infantry> silv do a coomand based update
[15:44] <BluesKaj> !top
[15:44] <silv3r_m00n> kyle_ : the main account works
[15:44] <mbleigh> so...anyone heard rumors of when netflix will work on linux?
[15:44] <silv3r_m00n> all packages in synaptic have been updated
[15:44] <kyle_> It was more of a joke :)
[15:44] <coz_> silv3r_m00n,  can you delete that account and create a new one?
[15:44] <echo310infantry> does it work in recovery mode?
[15:45] <echo310infantry> oh good one coz
[15:45] <silv3r_m00n> coz_: yes
[15:45] <kyle_> hit shift as the pc is booting
[15:45] <joe85> Why does Ubuntu not show my SSD?
[15:45] <coz_> silv3r_m00n,  then that would be the first thing to do ...it could be..for some reason...that account is corrupt
[15:45] <echo310infantry> still not joe?
[15:45] <kyle_> what model ssd and what chipset joe?
[15:46] <echo310infantry> joe can u see it in fdisk?
[15:46] <LjL> goltoof: sure you can, it's a matter of making a text file that says #!/bin/bash on the first line, and on the lines that follow contains the names of the programs you want to run. put it in /usr/local/bin and make it executable.
[15:46] <coz_> guys if you type   joe  and hit tab it will complete his nick and he can be allerted :)  just though I would remind you :)
[15:46] <dlynes_laptop> Any idea how disable the splash screen/throb bar in lucid?
[15:47] <coz_> dlynes_laptop,  which ubuntu version?
[15:47] <dlynes_laptop> coz_, lucid (10.04)
[15:47] <coz_> dlynes_laptop, ` mm  was this an upgrade?
[15:47] <goltoof> LjL,     yes i'm familiar with bash...   i mean getting each program sectioned out on one screen
[15:47] <lock> dlynes_laptop: im pretty sure you have to edit grub.cfg
[15:47] <dlynes_laptop> coz_, fresh install via pxe_boot
[15:47] <lock> /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[15:48] <coz_> dlynes_laptop,   mmm  the throbar was in xsplash and ubuntu now used plymouth  ,, this is odd but let me check
[15:48] <joe85> echo, I guess I didnt' get the installer I got 10.10
[15:48] <dlynes_laptop> lock, any idea what the option is, then?  fwiw, there is no grub.cfg for pxe boot...it doesn't use grub
[15:48] <lock> at least thats how on fedora
[15:48] <lock> ah my bad, didnt see the pxe boot
[15:48] <paddy_> I am using shellinabox but it is v. slow on irssi; what is wrong, also while the user list appears I cannot enter any commands!
[15:48] <echo310infantry> run diskutility
[15:48] <dlynes_laptop> lock, and fwiw, i know how to change the options in both grub and pxe...what I don't know, is what option to change/add
[15:49] <echo310infantry> make sure it shows up
[15:49] <joe85> I am in Ubuntu LiveCD. I can see my SSD. THen I click install on the desktop and it doesnt show it
[15:49] <nsahoo> I have this nasty problem: can't boot into 2.6.35 after upgrading to ubuntu 10.10 and grub2. The error message says gave up waiting for root device
[15:49] <dlynes_laptop> lock, but, it sounds like you're a fedora guy, so you probably don't even know
[15:49] <ikonia> paddy_: sheel in a box is not in the ubuntu repos
[15:49] <ikonia> oops, shell in a box I mean
[15:49] <goltoof> LjL,    and truncating the information i don't want to see.
[15:49] <echo310infantry> i had to pre format making a swap and ext4
[15:49] <coz_> nsahoo,   does the prompt  say   initramfs   ?
[15:50] <lock> dlynes_laptop: im sure that option is listed in ubuntu forums
[15:50] <nsahoo> coz_: yes after that it drops to intramfs prompt
[15:50] <joe85> echo, it shows up in disk utility
[15:50] <coz_> nsahoo,  ok at that prompt  type     exit   and hit enter
[15:50] <echo310infantry> is it formated?
[15:50] <lock> dlynes_laptop: all of these distros are essentially the same, just different filenames with different paths
[15:50] <krisphillips> Can anybody please tell me what this log means? http://pastebin.com/qg1TtiXz
[15:50] <coz_> nsahoo,  then tell me if it boots to desktop
[15:50] <echo310infantry> when during the install does it hang?
[15:51] <dlynes_laptop> lock, yeah...but ubuntu doesn't use the standard kernel splash screen, because as i said, it's got a throb bar
[15:51] <nsahoo> coz_: let me reboot for that. i'll loginto this chatroom from another machine
[15:51] <joe85> echo, it was formatted as ext4
[15:51] <echo310infantry> when during the install does it hang?
[15:51] <ikonia> krisphillips: it's a seg fault, it means there is a problem with your X server, based on what I'm seeing I'd guess the ATI module
[15:51] <paddy_> ikonia: which channel should I be on then?
[15:51] <LjL> goltoof: i've searched a bit, but can't see a program like that
[15:51] <ikonia> paddy_: shell in a box support ?
[15:52] <krisphillips> ikonia, any ideas on how to fix it?  Its intermittent and only happens once and a while.  2 out of 4 of my displays won't start.
[15:52] <goltoof> LjL,   maybe you know this answer..   how would i truncate the output of, say,  uptime..   so it only shows the days it's been up ?
[15:52] <ikonia> krisphillips: intermittent, interesting, I wonder if it's hardware related then, eg: a bit of bad ram, have you done a ram test on your machine ?
[15:52] <joe85> echo, now when I try to format it says Daemon is inhibited
[15:52] <goltoof> LjL,    not the user or load averages
[15:52] <goltoof> LjL,    that'd be a good first step..
[15:52] <lock> dlynes_laptop: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11478
[15:52] <LjL> goltoof: uptime | awk ' { print $3 } '
[15:53] <nsahoo> coz_: it does not get into desktop after I type exit and enter
[15:53] <krisphillips> ikonia, its for a school and I have 20 computers with identical hardware that have the same problem
[15:53] <nsahoo> goes right back to initramfs
[15:53] <goltoof> Leemp,     :)
[15:53] <hex0> How come that I've set my language to Engelsh but in some windows it isn't englesh?
[15:53] <echo310infantry> hmm give me a min
[15:53] <hex0> english*
[15:53] <ikonia> krisphillips: really, I'd guess (and it is just a case based on experience) it's just an instability with the ATI driver - it's closed source and known to be poor
[15:53] <coz_> nsahoo,   did you try it several times...usually you have to wait about 5 seconds or so before typing exit
[15:53] <LjL> goltoof: if you want to build this yourself, i think the most useful commands you should keep in mind are awk, head, tail and cut
[15:53] <krisphillips> ikonia, I'm using the radeon driver, not fglrx
[15:54] <coz_> nsahoo,  and you are dual booted?
[15:54] <ikonia> krisphillips: still poor
[15:54] <goltoof> LjL,      what if i only want to show the top 5 processes in top?
[15:54] <petan> hex0: what windows
[15:54] <krisphillips> ikonia, got a suggestion?
[15:54] <hex0> Firefox
[15:54] <goltoof> LjL,      right..   still haven't gotten savvy with awk or operators
[15:54] <ikonia> krisphillips: I'd log a bug and get the back track examined
[15:54] <ikonia> krisphillips: what ubuntu version is it ?
[15:54] <petan> hex0: do you have apt version?
[15:54] <krisphillips> 10.04 lts
[15:54] <ikonia> krisphillips: yeah, I'd log a bug
[15:55] <nsahoo> coz_: i am not dual booted, i waited for a bit and tried again now. the error is "gave up waiting for root device" it's looking for sda1 but /dev/sda1 is not there. only /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
[15:55] <krisphillips> k
[15:55] <ikonia> krisphillips: maybe try to get someone from the xorg project to take a look too
[15:55] <petan> hex0: I mean aptitude installed, or default
[15:55] <krisphillips> Will do.  Thx.
[15:55] <joe85> echo, in disk utility it says PATA HOST adapter
[15:55] <coz_> nsahoo,  mmm ok let me check hold on
[15:55] <hex0> default
[15:55] <ravionrails> update manager not showing lucid,  i am on karmic  somebody help me
[15:55] <petan> hex0: what language it is
[15:55] <echo310infantry> thats not good
[15:55] <hex0> Norwgian*
[15:56] <echo310infantry> do a bios reset then try a clean reformat
[15:56] <echo310infantry> maybe bios gremlins
[15:56] <goltoof> LjL,    i think i'd be fine with a command like "summary"  that just gives me a snapshot of each thing i want to see, not realtime, for now
[15:56] <petan> hex0: it was even before nor?
[15:56] <petan> hex0: or it changed
[15:57] <hex0> I installed Ubuntu in norwegian but I changed it to English
[15:57] <ikonia> !upgrade > ravionrails
[15:57] <petan> hex0: that is normall
[15:57] <nsahoo> strange thing is /dev/sda1 does not exist. what could cause that when I load 2.6.35 kernel?
[15:57] <LjL> goltoof: "top" is not really well suited to that, but if you want to show the top 5 processes in "ps aux", then do ps aux --sort -%cpu | head -n 5
[15:57] <petan> hex0: you would have to reinstall all packages
[15:57] <hex0> oh, ok
[15:57] <hex0> how do I do that?
[15:57] <ikonia> nsahoo: whcih kernel version exactly
[15:57] <petan> hex0: not all software support multilingual features
[15:57] <dlynes_laptop> coz_, lock got somebody in #ubuntu-install that knows exactly what I'm talking about...thanks for your help

[15:58] <nsahoo> ikonia: on 64bit ubuntu
[15:58] <petan> hex0: you can install english firefox from getfirefox.com
[15:58] <hex0> ok
[15:58] <ikonia> nsahoo: ls -la /dev/sda is that there ?
[15:58] <coz_> dlynes_laptop,  which channel is that again?
[15:58] <Eighteens> how do i reset a users desktop to the last state it was in before it stopped working, everything was working sweet until the user had gone to 'Appearance Preferences > Visual Affects > Preferences > and clicked a zoom option, now the user (my son) cant access his desktop, all he see's is the wallpaper, for a few seconds, then the system throws him back to the login screen, thanks in advance if anyone can help

[16:00] <nsahoo> ikonia: what are we looking for?
[16:00] <ikonia> why do you have the .32 kernel, thats from a different release
[16:01] <echo310infantry> joe.. any progress?
[16:01] <Eighteens> my sons using ubuntu 10.10, and he said he found this by right clicking the desktop, where you change the wallpaper, sorry i forgot to mention this... but the system wont give him any menus, he was trying to show me something cool, as he put it, and all of a sudden the system booted him back to the login screen after checking a zoom option
[16:02] <nsahoo> any help?
[16:02] <hotbody> i would like to dowload music using torrent but i don't know how
[16:02] <ikonia> nsahoo: why do you have the .32 kernel, thats from a different release
[16:03] <mawst> man
[16:03] <mawst> Are you serious?
[16:03] <mawst> heh
[16:03] <air^> howdy.
[16:03] <ikonia> hotbody: we are not here to help you get illegal music
[16:03] <cdubya> I know I had an issue before the network-manager and I think it was gnome-keyring always prompting for password to access when trying to negotiate wireless. Is there a fix for this available? Before I just installed wicd and apt-get wanted to remove network-manager which was fine with me since I didn't want to use it anyway. However, when I tried to install wicd before on 10.04 it didn't remove network-manager
[16:04] <Eighteens> can anyone see my text, just checking
[16:04] <ikonia> Eighteens: yes
[16:04] <Eighteens> ikonia thank you
[16:05] <goltoof> hotbody,      we will assume that you're downloading LEGAL torrents....   in which case you can use Transmission
[16:05] <nsahoo> ikonia: we have to ask that to the installer folks. I did a fresh install of 10.10 to resolve this problem
[16:05] <goltoof> hotbody,     that comes with ubuntu,   there are several others out there to try
[16:05] <ikonia> nsahoo: then you shouldn't have the .32 kernel
[16:05] <ikonia> nsahoo: 10.10 comes with 2.6.35 kernel
[16:06] <researcher1> is it possible to install a Ubuntu network just for web-surfing on a windows networked PC?
[16:06] <adammw111> will first boot after install be longer than a normal start up time?
[16:06] <ikonia> researcher1: an ubuntu network ? that makes no sense
[16:06] <nsahoo> ikonia: it might also come with the 2.6.32 kernels. otherwise i'd not have it here
[16:06] <hax> hey
[16:06] <ikonia> nsahoo:  it doesn't
[16:06] <ikonia> nsahoo: it comes with 2.6.35 only
[16:06] <hax> how do i install "grab"
[16:06] <hax> i cant use the command grab
[16:07] <hax> "grab: command not found"
[16:07] <Eighteens> i hate to repeat myself, i'm really a patient person, can anyone offer some help to a old man, and his 8yr old boy, who seemed to mess up his desktop... I just want to know how to reset his desktop to the last working state
[16:07] <nsahoo> ikonia: the update manager might have updated it afterwards. I don't know. Just that 2.6.35 is not booting here where as 2.6.32 is
[16:07] <goltoof> hax,  what is that?
[16:07] <ikonia> nsahoo: it's important to know where that other kernel came from as it may explain what's changed/broke
[16:07] <hax> goltoof: a comand, "grab"
[16:07] <ChaosR> hello, is there a utility to check remote servers for apt updates (for ubuntu)
[16:08] <goltoof> hax,   yes but what's it for?  what does grab do?
[16:08] <izinucs> How do I bring a wireless interface down using cli?  sudo ifdown wlan1 didn't work
[16:08] <ChaosR> and report it to my desktop when there is one
[16:08] <hax> goltoof: grab build/addon.xpi ect?
[16:08] <goltoof> Eighteens,   can you log into the desktop
[16:08] <goltoof> hax,    nevermind... it was a simple question
[16:09] <hax> goltoof: build a file?
[16:09] <Eighteens> goltoof: yes, he can log in, but all he sees is wallpaper, and only for a few seconds, then the system throws him back to the login screen
[16:09] <hax> goltoof: i dident understand what u wass after
[16:09] <Keshi> kyle___: seems the same.
[16:09] <nsahoo> the forums are riddled with this error reports without any clear answer. lot of people are experiencing the error "gave up waiting for root device"
[16:09] <Keshi> Followed the instructed and copied it manually to the folder.
[16:09] <Eighteens> goltoof: this happened after he changed a zoom option in apperance, visual preferences
[16:09] <goltoof> hax  just curious
[16:10] <goltoof> Eighteens,  hmm..  not familiar with that one
[16:10] <hax> goltoof: kk, but do u know what package i need to install?
[16:10] <ikonia> nsahoo: I'm just trying to work out if 10.10 shipped with 2.6.32
[16:10] <ikonia> nsahoo: it's looking like it actually did
[16:10] <Eighteens> goltoof, actually he checked a box, that was un-checked, and immediately the system threw him back to the login screen
[16:11] <Lord_Rahl> Does anyone else have a problem with smbclient in 10.10? Like copying  a file to a windows share.  All i get is "Invalid argument"
[16:11] <goltoof> Eighteens,   what build?    10.04, 10.10 ?
[16:11] <hax> Hey some one who know what i need to install to use the "grab" command?
[16:11] <ikonia> nsahoo: that looks like a lucid kernel
[16:11] <Eighteens> goltoof: yes 10.10, i was able to login as root on his system, and that desktop works fine, yes 10.10
[16:12] <hax> HELP! problem: "grab: command not found"
[16:12] <ikonia> hax: insall grab
[16:12] <goltoof> !patience    | hax
[16:12] <coz_> ikonia,  2.6.35.22  is default 10.10 ...just checked on my 10.10 machine
[16:12] <coz_> :)
[16:12] <hax> ikonia: ive tryed sudo apt-get install grab
[16:12] <adammw111> is over 10 minutes of the "ubuntu" screen normal for first boot after install or how can i fix it?
[16:12] <goltoof> hax,  it might help us to explain what you're trying to do.. maybe there's another tool that can do it for you
[16:12] <ikonia> coz_: thank you
[16:13] <tortoise> I'm having some issues with a static ip, the first time I reboot after changing to a static ip I got the "device not managed" error. I fixed that by changing ifupdown=false to true, in/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf. Now, I can connect to the wired connection but I can't load any pages in firefox.
[16:13] <julianoliver> hi. i'd like to completely remove GDM from my 10.04 install and have an automatic login, booting straight to awesome or another light window manager. the threads i've found in the past refer to /etc/innittab and other locations not present since 10.04. any advice/HOWTO links?
[16:13] <tortoise> Does anyone know what might be causing this?
[16:13] <hax> goltoof: iam trying to compile a file now
[16:13] <ikonia> nsahoo: something is very wrong with your install then you have a clean 10.10 box, with a lucid kernel on it
[16:13] <coz_> ikonia,  you knew that but thought I would just verify it :)
[16:13] <hax> goltoof: i have used the make cmd
[16:13] <Eighteens> goltoof, can i go to the file directly, and edit the file for visual preferences, and rem out the line, from him checking the zoom option?
[16:13] <ikonia> coz_: I actually didn't, I was questioning it
[16:13] <goltoof> Eighteens,    I don't see any checkboxes at login screen for 10.10
[16:13] <coz_> ikonia,  ah ok  :)
[16:13] <hax> goltoof: and now i need to grap build/addonto.xpi
[16:14] <Eighteens> goltoof, oh sorry didn't mean to confuse you, this was from his desktop option, he right clicked "change walpaper" then from there he changed his Appearance preferences
[16:15] <nenu> can we change login window in 10.10
[16:15] <ravionrails> update manager not showing lucid,  i am on karmic want to update to lucid somebody help me,
[16:15] <coz_> Eighteens,   did he go into  Visual effects tab for that change?
[16:15] <chee> ∳
[16:15] <coz_> nenu,  sort of yes
[16:16] <Eighteens> goltoof, oops, i meant right clicked his desktop, change desktop background, then visual affects, then preferences
[16:16] <goltoof> hax...  sorry, i'm not savvy with making xpi files
[16:16] <wessel> can someone recommend me a simple drawing program?
[16:16] <nenu> coz_: can you help me
[16:16] <jubei> guys I installed ubuntu with wubi and because i'm in japan it made my interface in japanese so now I can't do anything :) I'd like to figure out what's the name of the windows partition so that I can delete it.
[16:16] <coz_> nenu,   yeah hold on one minute :)
[16:16] <goltoof> what's the command to disable visual effects via cli?
[16:16] <nenu> coz, sure
[16:17] <goltoof> wessel,    gimp
[16:17] <hax> goltoof: goltoof kk thanks enny how i will reply if i figer it out
[16:17] <Eighteens> coz_ sorry wasnt ignoring you, was trying to duplicate what he had done in another window
[16:17] <goltoof> wessel,     not simple, but all you'll ever need
[16:17] <coz_> nenu,     http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/GDM-NEW-MAVERICK
[16:17] <wessel> no, I don't want gimp
[16:17] <coz_> Eighteens, understood,, and I didnt feel ignored  :)
[16:17] <wessel> I want to do some simple pixel modifications
[16:17] <wessel> add text, change some lines
[16:17] <nenu> thanks
[16:17] <ravionrails> wessel, pinta
[16:17] <edbian> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition.  I have to enter my wifi password everytime I boot.  (I have auto-login setup though) how can I get Ubuntu to remember the password?  I can't find it in the gui anywhere.
[16:18] <goltoof> wessel,   hmm...    gimp.... gimp... and gimp   will accomplish all of those
[16:18] <coz_> nenu,  what that will do is allow you to change  the system theme  but it actually will only change the gdm log in screen since it is root
[16:18] <wessel> yes, but gimp is so damn hard to learn
[16:18] <Eighteens> think it was in after his checking the box in simple compizconfig settings manager
[16:18] <coz_> nenu,   there is also something called GDM2setup
[16:19] <wessel> E: Couldn't find package pinta
[16:19] <wessel> wessel@wegumar7 ~ $ sudo apt-get install pinta
[16:19] <ikonia> last nsahoo
[16:19] <nenu> coz, that crashed my firefox
[16:19] <coz_> nenu,  oh???
[16:19] <coz_> nenu,  hold on I will post it at pastebin
[16:20] <Lord_Rahl> Does anyone else have a problem with smbclient in 10.10? Like copying  a file to a windows share.  All i get is "Invalid argument"
[16:20] <coz_> nenu,     http://paste.ubuntu.com/530083/
[16:20] <jubei> here's the output from my fdisk -l command. I can't figure out which is which  codepad.org/QNLv9R9O
[16:20] <goltoof> wessel,   hard to learn, but powerful..  you'll be better off in the long run learning gimp
[16:20] <Eighteens> coz_, goltoof, all i know is he was really happy, now after checking that zoom option, the system threw him back to the login screen and he can't do anything after logging back in, just the wallpaper on the desktop, no menus, and after about 5 seconds it throws him back to login screen again
[16:21] <nenu> coz, anyways i downloaded that stuff
[16:21] <wessel> I doubt it goltoof
[16:21] <brontosaurusrex> where to disable window flying animation?
[16:21] <coz_> Eighteens,  can he get to text console?
[16:21] <Eighteens> coz_ but i was able to login his system, with the root user, really wierd, and it works fine in that users session
[16:21] <wessel> maybe some day an easier program will come to life
[16:22] <Eighteens> coz, no menu's, even tried alt-f2
[16:22] <wessel> I find it easier to manipulate pixels in Matlab, or java, then in gimp! :P
[16:22] <coz_> Eighteens,  ok as root user  hit  ctrl+alt+F1   if still root  type exit  and log in as user
[16:22] <edbian> wessel, You just haven't learned gimp yet.
[16:22] <coz_> Eighteens,   then run this command to reset gnome to defaults    sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity   then restart X
[16:22] <nsahoo> ikonia: coz_: sorry I was trying to change some grub configurations and grub-update etc. So, I was away. do you have any suggestions?
[16:23] <coz_> nsahoo,  I havent found one no  sorry
[16:23] <edbian> wessel, It's a steep curve admittedly but there is no way it is 'harder' writing a java program to do that same thing.
[16:23] <goltoof> wessel,    i'm a graphic designer,  it took me a while to learn it but it pays off knowing a program that's as powerful as photoshop but without the cost
[16:23] <ravionrails> wessel, http://pinta-project.com/
[16:23] <wessel> ravionrails, yes, just installed pinta, testing now
[16:24] <ravionrails> ok
[16:24]  * dddw RL awaits
[16:24] <coz_> nenu,   also   http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/gdm2-setup-gets-new-look-and-ubuntu-ppa.html   if you want to try gdm2setup
[16:26] <kasi> hi. how come nvidia-detector doesn't find the card. lspci lists that I have a GeForce Go 6600
[16:26] <edbian> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition.  I have to enter my wifi password everytime I boot.  (I have auto-login setup though) how can I get Ubuntu to remember the password?  I can't find it in the gui anywhere.
[16:26] <nenu> coz, will give a try ,right now working with other issues, will test after that
[16:27] <julianoliver> how do i remove grub and have an autologin (no startx) with Ubuntu 10.04? I see that there's no /etc/innittab anymore..
[16:27] <julianoliver> s/grub/gdm/
[16:27] <julianoliver> ugh
[16:28] <edbian> julianoliver, sudo apt-get purge gdm
[16:29] <julianoliver> edbian: that's clear, but autologin?
[16:29] <julianoliver> this used to be done with /etc/innittab..
[16:29] <LadyNikon> i am getting the message /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so has crashed
[16:29] <LadyNikon> i reinstalled the plugin but its still not working
[16:29] <LadyNikon> anysuggestions
[16:30] <edbian> julianoliver, I believe that autologin in a feature of gdm.  If there is no GDM there is no autologin.
[16:30] <edbian> julianoliver, If you're nervous about it turn auto-logon off in the gui then remove gdm
[16:30] <ikonia> nsahoo: I'd be more concerned at why you have a broken install
[16:30] <julianoliver> edbian: on Debian (and older versions of Ubuntu) it was possible to setup autologin and calling startx in a shell script.
[16:30] <ikonia> nsahoo: your 10.10 install should not come with a .32 kernel, I would class your system as unstable/broke
[16:31] <julianoliver> edbian: you didn't need GDM to have this feature.
[16:31] <edbian> julianoliver, yeah.  Oh, you WANT auto-login.  I have no idea if inittab is missing
[16:31] <julianoliver> edbian: ok, cheers
[16:32] <edbian> julianoliver, sorry
[16:32] <julianoliver> np
[16:32] <Doug_S> I installed Ubuntu 10.10 recently, now I cannot log in. Unable to log in on main screen, or recovery mode. Any ideas?
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Doug_S: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root
[16:33] <edbian> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition.  I have to enter my wifi password everytime I boot.  (I have auto-login setup though) how can I get Ubuntu to remember the password?  I can't find it in the gui anywhere.
[16:33] <nenu> where can i find gdm2setup package
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Doug_S: then run:   passwd foo    replace foo with YOUR username, then run: reboot    you can now login as yourself
[16:33] <nenu> apt is not pulling it
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> edbian: http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-enable-automati-logon-in-ubuntu-or-kubuntu.html
[16:34] <Doug_S> Where do I run that at? I'm new to Ubuntu.
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Doug_S: read what I said, it's step by step
[16:35] <stevecoh1> In Windows, there is a little add-on from Microsoft that allows you add a "Command Prompt Here" right-click menu option when viewing the file system with Explorer.  It has always seemed to me that this would be a very nice option for Linux, and much in the spirit of Linux.  But Nautilus does not support this.  Is there something that provides this capability?
[16:35] <edbian> ActionParsnip, please read my questions more carefully.  auto-login is working.  Remembering my wifi password is not working.
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> stevecoh1: you can get nautilus scripts for that
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> edbian: oic, then I suggest a blank keyring password
[16:36] <stevecoh1> ActionParsnip: great.  Can you please provide me with details?
[16:36] <llutz> stevecoh1: konqueror (f4) :)
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> edbian: it will then not bother you for one
[16:36] <adman> Hi, I stupdily shutdown the computer while it was booting up, and now everytime I boot i get the text-based startup instead of the nice splash screen. how can i get the graphical splash back?
[16:36] <edbian> ActionParsnip, Will it pop-up and I have to press enter?
[16:36] <stevecoh1> anything outside of konqueror?
[16:36] <edbian> stevecoh1, You should google nautilus scripts. :) there is much to learn
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> stevecoh1: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/cat-executing.php
[16:36] <cordoval_> hi where can I go to troubleshoot my mail on ubuntu, I am using nullmailer since I want to develop
[16:36] <llutz> stevecoh1: http://www.watchingthenet.com/add-open-command-prompt-here-functionality-to-nautilus-in-ubuntu.html
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> edbian: no, it won't bother you
[16:37] <edbian> ActionParsnip, Thanks
[16:37] <cordoval_> has anyone setup nullmailer before and got it working?
[16:37] <wessel> goltoof, can you link me to a simple gimp guide that shows how to edit some screenshot?
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> stevecoh1: you will need to install nautilus-actions (i think its that), then just drop scripts in the scripts folder and they will be accessible
[16:37] <wessel> or some other pixel image with text and lines
[16:37] <llutz> !info nautilus-open-terminal
[16:37] <llutz> stevecoh1: ^^
[16:37] <cordoval_> which is the channel for nullmailer or mailing related issues in ubuntu?
[16:37] <randomOfAmber> hello everyone
[16:38] <NikitaUtiu> hey
[16:38] <cordoval_> !info nullmailer
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> stevecoh1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Nautilus_Scripts
[16:38] <cordoval_> !info mail in ubuntu
[16:38] <Lord_Rahl> Does anyone else have a problem with smbclient in 10.10? Like copying  a file to a windows share.  All i get is "Invalid argument"
[16:38] <cordoval_> !info  mail
[16:38] <cordoval_> !info mailer
[16:39] <cordoval_> !info help
[16:39] <Eighteens> coz_, and goltoof, hey guys thanks for your help earlier, it's working again, i'm very thankfull, and so is my son...
[16:39] <llutz> cordoval_: what are you looking for?
[16:39] <goltoof> wessel,    http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/
[16:39] <coz_> Eighteens,  cool
[16:39] <goltoof> wessel,    http://tutorialblog.org/gimp-tutorials/
[16:40] <wessel> but do you really think that gimp is also suited for simple tasks?
[16:40] <wessel> instead of making fancy pictures...
[16:40] <nenu> where do i get gdm2setup
[16:40] <cordoval_> IIlutz: I am looking for help or any information to troubleshoot my nullmailer mailing related , basically I have setup apache2 and run my php site, my php site emails @gmail.com type of emails so I need an exit outside that is why nullmailer, but it is not working
[16:40] <petan> wessel: gpaint
[16:40] <goltoof> wessel,   don't know of a tutorials specific to what you're asking... best thing is to find a tutorial closest to what you're trying to accomplish
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> wessel: there gpaint :)
[16:40] <wessel> simple tasks are like: crop an image
[16:40] <petan> wessel: simple and good
[16:40] <wessel> remove some text
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> petan: great minds eh ;)
[16:41] <stevecoh1> OMG, thanks guys.  How did I ever live without this?
[16:41] <goltoof> wessel,     i use it for everything, simple or not
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> wessel: use tuxpaint if you want a simple text editor with sound effects :)
[16:41] <cordoval_> IIlutz: also I want to issue from the console terminal a command like mail
[16:41] <cordoval_> but it does not work as expected
[16:41] <edbian> ActionParsnip, Thank you.  That worked.
[16:41] <coz_> wessel,  there are alternatives  Pinta  comes to mind...also imagemagick
[16:41] <llutz> cordoval_: have you checked logs for errors? install bsd-mailx  for mail-command
[16:41] <goltoof> wessel,    but by all means try other programs, maybe another will suit you better for what you do
[16:41] <cordoval_> I have been trying for weeks to make this work now. Hmmm
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> edbian: i always set blank password, it moans but then again you can link your password to pam and get the same effect
[16:41] <cordoval_> !info bsd-mailx
[16:42] <cordoval_> !info mail-command
[16:42] <coz_> wessel,  Pinta  is simple enough but has default plugins ...not too dissimilar to a low end photoshop
[16:42] <cordoval_> I think I must have mail command as it does something
[16:42] <Eighteens> coz_ that zoom option, in 'Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager > Accessibility, under Enable zoom, > Area zoom'  once unchecked, the system lets him access the desktop
[16:42] <llutz> cordoval_: bsd-mailx provides the "mail" command
[16:42] <edbian> What is the program called that runs in Ubuntu netbook edition on the left hand side?  Not the icons but the list of favorites and different app categories. (it's missing on my system after an update)
[16:42] <cordoval_> the problem is that mails get stuck on the queue when I do mailq I can see them stuck
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> edbian: unity
[16:42] <edbian> ActionParsnip, Thanks again!
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> np
[16:43] <llutz> cordoval_: have you checked logs for errors? /var/log/mail.err (.log)
[16:43] <coz_> Eighteens,  ah yes  that can cause issues if you press the wrong keybindings... yeah if disabled that's fine ...unless you really need zoom in which case I would use  magnifiyer plugin instead
[16:43] <cordoval_> Nov 11 11:37:31 cordoval-laptop nullmailer[986]: Sending failed:  Protocol error
[16:43] <coz_> Eighteens,   rather   magnifier plugin
[16:44] <Eighteens> yeah it wouldn't let him back in, but it's working again, and he's so happy, No school today, so it gave him a chance to mess things up, haha
[16:44] <cordoval_> and before
[16:44] <cordoval_> Nov 10 22:55:54 cordoval-laptop nullmailer[2509]: smtp: Failed: Connect failed
[16:44] <coz_> Eighteens,  :)    very cool
[16:44] <cordoval_> Nov 10 22:55:54 cordoval-laptop nullmailer[986]: Sending failed:  Host not found
[16:44] <Eighteens> time for father son bonding, hehe, i wanted to kick his butt for messing it up, but haha, i learned something too, anyway, thanks for your help
[16:45] <shane4ubuntu> is proposed updates considered alpha, beta, or RC?
[16:45] <cordoval_> but thanks at least now I have somewhere to look I did not know about /var/log/mail.err, I did know about /var/log/apache2/... and others, thanks for pointing me to the right direction
[16:45] <edbian> ActionParsnip, mmm, very odd.  It isn't there.  I tried to start it, it said it was already running.  I killed those processes (nothing happened). And tried to run it agian.  Still says it's already running.  It's def. not there.
[16:45] <cordoval_> IIlutz: I will clean the log and try again sending and see what the line is actually hold on
[16:45] <obfu> I'm looking for a way to connect to a serial port on my ubuntu machine through bluetooth.  I have been able to connect to an RFCOMM tty, but not to the serial port. I tried using socat, but that didn't work. It seems like rfcomm_sppd from BSD would do the trick, but I can't find a version compiled for ubuntu/debian. Anyone know where I could find this or a different solution?
[16:45] <llutz> cordoval_: whats the hostname configured in /etc/nullmailer/remotes?
[16:46] <cordoval_> smtp.gmail.com smtp --port=465 --user=cordoval@gmail.com --pass=XXXXX
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> obfu: tried searching the ppas?
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | obfu
[16:46] <Eighteens> this may sound funnny, but is there anyway to put ubuntu on a smartphone
[16:46] <cordoval_> smtp.gmail.com smtp --port=587 --user=cordoval@gmail.com --pass=XXXXX
[16:46] <cordoval_> I have tried both
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> Eighteens: ive seen it on some phones
[16:47] <cordoval_> IIlutz: at first  I was trying smtp.gmail.com smtp --port=587
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> Eighteens: http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/07/smartphones-to-get-mobile-flavor-of-ubuntu-linux/
[16:47] <cordoval_> but then after some missleading reading I tried the other port
[16:47] <obfu> ActionParsnip: yeah, nothing even just for rfcomm
[16:47] <Eighteens> ActionParsnip, i saw a linux phone, i about drooled all over my keyboard, just wondering... thanks for the reply
[16:47] <nenu> is there any free alert app that alerts on iphone for nagios monitoring
[16:47] <edbian> Eighteens, android is linux
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> Eighteens: what edbian said :)
[16:48] <Eighteens> edbian, i have a droidX and after hearing google apps could take root, i got scared
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> Eighteens: also samsung have a 100% opensource phone but its a bit crappy
[16:48] <Eighteens> oh if you have a droidx don't download Angry Birds
[16:49] <edbian> Eighteens, Don't install those apps?  (I find it unlikely that they can become root without asking you for the root password)
[16:49] <akashj87> can anyone tell me the steps for installing vmware 7.1.2 in 10.10 X64
[16:49] <kerin> i'm trying to update > upgrade my old server running 8.10, and after switching my /etc/apt/sources.list to the old-releases.ubuntu.com repo and doing an apt-get upgrade i get a lot of 404 not found errors, even after running apt-get update.  anyone know what to do?
[16:49] <Eighteens> ActionParsnip would you mind pm'n me that link again, my scrollback buffer is small, i can't see your link anymore, thanks man
[16:49] <Eighteens> or just repaste it
[16:49] <shane4ubuntu> with the repositories, and updates, there is backports, and proposed, how 'dangerous' or 'risky' is proposed considered to be?
[16:49] <llutz> cordoval_: are you sure nullmailer supports TLS and smtp-auth?
[16:49] <Eighteens> ActionParsnip, thank you sir!
[16:50] <Pici> shane4ubuntu: Packages are put into proposed for testing before they drop into -updates.  So.. I'd tread that as somewhere between beta and RC.
[16:50] <cordoval_> I was told that by the httpd guys, they are ferocious
[16:50] <llutz> cordoval_: maybe this thelps http://jonspriggs.posterous.com/use-gmails-smtp-gateway-using-the-command-lin
[16:50] <llutz> helps*
[16:51] <gsr> Because of incompatibility issues with my video driver, to use compiz I have to use libdecoration1:8.4, instead of the current latest version in apt, libdecoration1:8.6.  Is there a way to flag libdecoration not to update automatically, when I use apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade?
[16:51] <shane4ubuntu> Pici, ok, thanks!  I'm having major problems with Evolution, so think I'm going to install the proposed update, don't think it could get worse.
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> !pin | gsr
[16:51] <karthick87> How to add a Factoid database to my bot..?
[16:51] <cordoval_> how can I find if nullmailer supports TLS and smtp auth? I think it should otherwise it would not be as popular, it would be useless, ok checking the information now
[16:51] <llutz> cordoval_: if nothing works, i'd go with ssmtp http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/send-mail-with-gmail-and-ssmtp/
[16:51] <gsr> ActionParsnip: thanks
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: i know how to add one to ubottu....if thats what you want
[16:52] <akashj87> Installation Failed VMware Workstation v7 1 2 301548 Linux x64
[16:52] <akashj87> In the installation procedure, it asks for whether to save the configuration files or not.
[16:52] <akashj87> Whatever i choose, it shows for a second "De-configuring", and then says Installation Failed.
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> !vmware | akashj87
[16:53] <llutz> cordoval_: " apt-cache depends nullmailer"   nothing about tls etc.
[16:53] <akashj87> ActionParsnip : I downloaded it from the net.
[16:53] <cordoval_> IIutz: hmmm
[16:54] <goltoof> akashj87,    virtualbox
[16:54] <llutz> cordoval_: as i said, i'd go with ssmtp. simple to setup and works fine http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/send-mail-with-gmail-and-ssmtp/
[16:54] <akashj87> ok, i wasted so much time getting it :(
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: the guide will tell you how to install it, i recommend virtualbox myself, it is in the repos so can be installed like any other package
[16:55] <akashj87> i see, ty ActionParsnip and goltoof
[16:55] <goltoof> akashj87,    you're not the only one here who spent a lot of time doing something futile   :)
[16:56] <cordoval_> I had already seen http://jonspriggs.posterous.com/use-gmails-smtp-gateway-using-the-command-lin    ... I will go for the latter link
[16:56] <cordoval_> I will switch to ssmtp
[16:56] <akashj87> in the forums they say about some patch things , its not mentioned anywhere that it wont install on ubuntu
[16:56] <cordoval_> http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/send-mail-with-gmail-and-ssmtp/
[16:56] <cordoval_> trying now...
[16:56] <FloodBot2> cordoval_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:57] <llutz> cordoval_: i guess its easier and doesn't need additional stuff like xinetd as in the 1st URL i gave you
[16:58] <cordoval_> yes right
[16:59] <max> hi
[17:00] <akashj87> can anyone tell me any good browser integration like roboform, which also work offline ?
[17:00] <drichardson> Hello everybody!
[17:01] <Guest68306> hi drichardson
[17:01] <karthick87> ActionParsnip, there..?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: which browser, roboform seems to simply remember password
[17:01] <vivek312> i want to install all packages from one folder, how can  i install them?
[17:02] <eddieamrit> .invite
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: huh?
[17:02] <llutz> vivek312: sudo dpkg -i /folder/*deb
[17:02] <karthick87> ActionParsnip, asked you on how to add a factoid
[17:02] <akashj87> ActionParsnip : I have just started using linux. On windows i have roboform which integrates well with firefox. Any similar like that ? Keepassx dont have browser integration.
[17:02] <vivek312> can anyone help?
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: oic, use:  /msg ubottu thing is descriptio
[17:03] <karthick87> vivel312: sudo dpkg -i *
[17:03] <karthick87> vivek312: sudo dpkg -i *
[17:03] <Guest68306> ask ! vivek312
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: e.g.  /msg ubottu !beer is Beer is a tasty beverage!
[17:04] <karthick87> !beer
[17:04] <vivek312> karthick87 : i am not getting..
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: https://addons.mozilla.org
[17:04] <petan> vivek312: do it in terminal
[17:05] <vivek312> Thanks all..
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: the browser remembers passwords for you anyway
[17:05] <llutz> vivek312: sudo dpkg -i /folder/*.deb         why don't you read your answers?
[17:05] <Aufwind> I have a python script, tor (vidala) installed and I want to retrieve a webpage through the tor network by httplib by calling the skript by terminal. Is this possible?
[17:05] <karthick87> get into your directory containing the packages and then enter that command
[17:05] <Guest68306> Aufwind, tor simply sucks.. :)
[17:06] <karthick87> ActionParsnip, can i add ubottu Factoids database to my bot..?
[17:06] <Aufwind> Guest68306: I need an IP changer. Can you suggest something else?
[17:06] <akashj87> ActionParsnip : it will only remember one for a particular site. what if i have multiple ?
[17:06] <sosaited> I have added Banshee to the sound indicator/control in Maverick, but I the controls there doesn't work, neither does it show the song being played.
[17:06] <goltoof> maybe off topic..  is there a way to stack irc chat windows?  1x2, 2x2?
[17:06] <ikonia> goltoof: what client ?
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: it's at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi
[17:07] <goltoof> and what's the consensus on a good terminal based irc
[17:07] <carlos_> eps
[17:07] <goltoof> ikonia,   xchat
[17:07] <Guest68306> Aufwind, write the question to the screen.. i or other can help up accordingly... :)
[17:07] <ikonia> goltoof: try #xchat I'm sure someone will know there
[17:07] <sam_010203> I have a problem with Ibus.  No Pinyin option. I have installed pinyin in the language settings but still shot showing up. any ideas how to get it to show up??? thanks
[17:07] <goltoof> ikonia,   yea thx
[17:07] <cordoval_> IIlutz: I did all the commands on the link you sent
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: not sure, i believe they drop down in the browser if you remember them and you can choose
[17:07] <tensorpudding> irssi is good ncurses-based irc
[17:07] <cordoval_> when I do sudo ssmtp cordoval@gmail.com it kind of freezes
[17:07] <tensorpudding> sam_010203: have you installed the ibus pinyin packages?
[17:07] <karthick87> ActionParsnip, i have already downloaded the database,how to add it to my database..?
[17:07] <goltoof> tensorpudding,   kthx
[17:07] <cordoval_> oh wait, I got one email
[17:07] <sam_010203> tensorpudding,   yes.
[17:08] <akashj87> ActionParsnip : I see. Thank you for all your support.
[17:08] <obfu> goltoof: i use irssi
[17:08] <Aufwind> Guest68306: The question is: How to run a script several times, but each time with another ip, so googlescholar wouldn't be watching whole the time. =)
[17:08] <tensorpudding> sam_010203: are you sure?
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: that i don't know.
[17:08] <cordoval_> IIutz: thank you so much!
[17:09] <sam_010203> tensorpudding,   i did the exact same thing i did last time.  but for some reason its not showing up. i might have missed something but i dont know what.
[17:09] <The-kernel> Hi, I'm looking for a way to send syslog's from my Ubuntu machine to a remote syslog server, does anyone know of a good write up and/or which file I need to edit?
[17:09] <akashj87> i just started using linux, i am liking ubuntu.
[17:09] <tensorpudding> sam_010203: i had this problem trying to install anthy; even though it appeared in the ibus language thing, i couldn't actually use it until i installed the ibus-anthy package
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: seems to be maintained by Seveas
[17:09] <tensorpudding> sam_010203: if that's not it, i don't really know
[17:09] <sam_010203> so just sudo apt-get install ibus-anthy  then?
[17:10] <Guest68306> Aufwind, like wisely i said question is important...what are you going through..~!
[17:10] <cordoval_> llutz: thanks really
[17:10] <goltoof> obfu,  don't suppose you know if you can stack chat rooms?  i'd like to keep multiple rooms visible
[17:10] <tensorpudding> sam_010203: for you, ibus-pinyin, i'd guess
[17:10] <karthick87> ActionParsnip, thank you :)
[17:10] <sam_010203> ok  tensorpudding. ill take a look.
[17:10] <sam_010203> whats anthy anyway?
[17:11] <obfu> goltoof: I know there is a way to show 2 in one terminal window, I don't usualy do that, but let me look for how
[17:11] <tensorpudding> it's a japanese entry mode
[17:11] <sam_010203> ahh..
[17:11] <sam_010203> ok
[17:11] <sam_010203> yeah dont need that. lol
[17:11] <bastidrazor> goltoof: terminator can do just that.
[17:12] <Aufwind> Guest68306: Well I am using a python libarary called httplib to make a request to googlescholar (input are certain searchterms) and to parse the response of googlescholar. But right now I am stuck because google bans me everytim, I use the script more often, then a 100 times. So I want to use an ip changer to avoid the ban. That is the whole thing. :D
[17:12] <goltoof> bastidrazor,    is that a client?  or some cl tool?
[17:12] <goltoof> bastidrazor,   dumb question
[17:12] <goltoof> thx
[17:13] <sam_010203> tensorpudding,  成功啦～！ 多謝
[17:14] <Aufwind> Guest68306: I thought of TOR to be a goof solution, but I don't get it configured properly. It works fine with the Tor-Button and Firefox, but not with my python skript, which I do call from terminal.
[17:14] <Guest68306> Aufwind, changing the ip simply would not change anything, as your a smart you should figure out by now!
[17:14] <Aufwind> Guest68306: What woul you suggest?
[17:14] <Aufwind> +d
[17:14] <goltoof> Aufwind,     /j  #tor
[17:15] <goltoof> Aufwind,    at this point it's not really an ubuntu specific issue
[17:15] <Guest68306> Aufwind, yeh goltoof did give you nearest hint...pls follow.. :)
[17:15] <Aufwind> Well that is right. But over there no one is responding and I hoped someone could share his experience with me. Thanks anyway.
[17:16] <goltoof> Aufwind,   wish i knew..   also keep in mind you really don't need what you're asking for, unless you're doing something illegal or are just paranoid
[17:17] <Guest68306> Aufwind, simply people with simple word and knowledge..
[17:17] <karthick87> !lts
[17:18] <Aufwind> goltoof: It is for science. :-) Nothing illegal. I just want to avoid the bans, and to automate my script, so I don't have to stick to my computer, while it is running. The results will be published in a paper next January. :)
[17:18] <julianoliver> goltoof: that's a bizarre attitude. anonymity and the privacy it brings is a right, not a paranoid desire.
[17:19] <julianoliver> sad times we live in when a person using tor "has something to hide". anyway, i digress.
[17:20] <obfu> goltoof: I found a good guide at http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssisplit
[17:20] <mun27> How to install ssh on 10.04
[17:20] <goltoof> Aufwind,   try #linux   they seem a little more receptive of this stuff there
[17:20] <markus__> hy everybody
[17:20] <goltoof> Aufwind,   and it's not dead
[17:20] <Aufwind> goltoof: Thanks
[17:20] <mun27> it is not accepting sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[17:21] <markus__> installed kubuntu today on the netbook of my wife. works fine but I do not have a minimize button. only a maximize. how do I get this button?
[17:21] <goltoof> obfu,   sweet!    many thanks, sir
[17:21] <obfu> Aufwind: I would suggest contacting google if they are banning your requests and you are doing science, they may be able to get you access to an API or at least stop banning
[17:22] <Aufwind> obfu: That's an idea I wanted to follow last, because I needed testing data first.
[17:22] <Aufwind> obfu: But thanks.
[17:22] <Guest68306> Aufwind, why you don't tell us what are you trying  to do..
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> is tor even supported now?
[17:24] <goltoof> julianoliver,    oh i agree,  i'd love nothing more than to completely not exist,  on internets and irl.   but i don't lose any sleep over it
[17:24] <goltoof> !tor
[17:24] <goltoof> ActionParsnip,    very yes
[17:24] <jubei> anybody have any experience with WUBI installs? I'm trying to migrate from a wubi install to a real installation

[17:24] <Quimper> is this the place to get help with ubuntu problems?
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: its not as its not in the official repo :)
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> Quimper: indeed
[17:24] <Guest68306> yeh! Quimper
[17:25] <Quimper> ok rather a long explination
[17:26] <Quimper> I have an ebook reader with a 4 gb sd card, i'm using calibre ebook library, and now there are problems, the sd card will no longer let me delete files
[17:26] <Aufwind> Guest68306: I have a list of locations, a list of names and a list of paper-titles. I want to check if google scholar "knows" about a constellation (n,p,l), where n is a name, p is a paper-title and l is a location. I am doing this for huge datasets. The result is routed through an algorithm (belief propagation) to make some inferences... That is the whole thing in very simple words. :)
[17:26] <cordoval_> Cron <smmsp@cordoval-laptop> test -x /etc/init.d/sendmail && /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail cron-msp (failed)
[17:26] <Quimper> ive tried changing the permisions but it wont let me
[17:26] <cordoval_> anyone know what this is ?
[17:27] <pete_> mun27 - what does it say when you try sudo apt-get install openssh-server?
[17:27] <Quimper> i open up the sd card file, left click on a folder click permissions and try to change anything and it just goes back to what it waas
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> Quimper: is it mouted writable?
[17:27] <Guest68306> Aufwind, that real.. keep it posted someone will answer above my head.. :)
[17:27] <zaytsev> hi folks
[17:28] <zaytsev> is there a download place where I can download daily lucid builds?
[17:28] <Quimper> what does mouted writable mean
[17:28] <zaytsev> or such builds only exist for ubuntu+1?
[17:28] <mun27> pete: Package openssh-server is not available, but it is referred to by another  package
[17:28] <IdleOne> zaytsev: only for +1
[17:29] <Aedolon> Pidgin keeps crashing on arbitrary moments on 10.10.
[17:29] <Aedolon> I already have the PPA.
[17:29] <IdleOne> zaytsev: you can enable the backports repo in lucid which will let you install packages from maverick that have been ported
[17:29] <zaytsev> IdleOne, that sucks, but thanks. I need Luicd livecd with all latest updates installed. Should I chroot into the image and do apt-get dist-upgrade inside and then repack?
[17:29] <Guest68306> Aedolon, can you find cause of the crash!
[17:30] <Aedolon> Guest68306: No, how would I do that?
[17:30] <pete_> mun27 - it sounds like you are not pointing to the correct repositories.  Do you know how to check them?  Also, which distribution are you on?  E.G. Hardy or Jaunty or whatever
[17:30] <IdleOne> zaytsev: sounds like you know more then I do. but /msg ubottu remaster   will give you more info about that
[17:30] <Quimper> actionparsnip what does mouted writable mean
[17:30] <zaytsev> IdleOne, I need a livecd ;) but I wanted one with latest updates. I was thinking daily builds exist for LTS also.
[17:31] <Guest68306> Aedolon, run it through terminal paste the output
[17:31] <mun27> pete_: I have installed 10.04
[17:31] <mun27> desktop cversion
[17:32] <IdleOne> zaytsev: remastering the Live CD is doable and you can add the packages you need and remove those you don't
[17:32] <mun27> How to find if it is hardy or jaunty
[17:32] <IdleOne> mun27: lsb_release -a in a terminal
[17:32] <pete_> OK, that's what I'm running, and I just installed it fine.  Standby I'll post my /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:32] <IdleOne> !remaster > zaytsev
[17:33] <mun27> it is lucid
[17:33] <zaytsev> IdleOne, ok, I'll do it by hand. Sounds like UCK is the way to go, but it's so poorly documented..
[17:33] <Quimper> anybody else want to try to help me alter permissions on an sd card?
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> Quimper: use: gksudo nautilus   and you can do as you please
[17:34] <Quimper> please speak english
[17:35] <pete_> mun27 - I just opened a private chat window.  I posted the file contents in there
[17:35] <mun27> thx
[17:35] <mun27> I saw it
[17:35] <mun27> how to modify ut
[17:36] <shazzr> Am I just weird, or is Gwibber a very poor Twitter client?
[17:36] <IdleOne> Quimper: in a terminal run the command: gksudo nautilus , that will open nautilus ( the file browser) with sudo privileges
[17:37] <IdleOne> Quimper: from there you can right click on folders or files and change the properties
[17:37] <Seveas> karthick87, ActionParsnip: lies.
[17:38] <Quimper> idleone: i tried doesnt work still says file is read only
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Seveas: saw your name at the bottom of the ubottu cgi page
[17:38] <Quimper> and yes i checked the little slider on the side of the sd card

[17:41] <laler> before test
[17:41] <ikonia> cordoval_: the error is pretty clear, the proces doesn't have permissions to create /var/run/sendmail
[17:41] <jubei> guys does ubuntu have a way to resize the active partition. just like mac osx does
[17:41] <izinucs> michaelxq: or sun-java6-jre ... something like that
[17:41] <laler> partition manager jubei
[17:41] <ikonia> jubei: can't o active partitions
[17:41] <aeon-ltd> jubei: no afaik it always requires unmounting
[17:41] <ikonia> laler: it can't do active partitions
[17:41] <laler> oh'
[17:41] <cordoval_> prehaps I have installed sendmail as cordoval
[17:41] <michaelxq> izinucs, thx...this is what i was looking for
[17:41] <pahnin> jubei: try with live cd
[17:41] <laler> ActionParsnip, any clue?
[17:42] <ikonia> cordoval_: how did you install sendmail ?
[17:42] <cordoval_> can I remove it now that I am using ssmtp? or should I fix that?
[17:42] <zaytsev> yesterday it was dying when trying to open detailed package view
[17:42] <jubei> aeon-ltd,laler, ikonia: thx
[17:42] <cordoval_> ikonia: don't remember, how do i fetch that info?
[17:42] <cordoval_> I seldom forget things but could be the case
[17:42] <ikonia> cordoval_: if you no longer need sendmail, you can remove it
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> laler: does the account you are connecting with have decent access
[17:42] <michaelxq> izinucs, what to write at the synaptic package manager
[17:42] <laler> I believe so ActionParsnip
[17:42] <laler> How can i check
[17:42] <aeon-ltd> jubei: imagine the potential corruption available when resizing active partitions :), the apple (hfs) is suited to do that whereas the linux (extn) isn't probably due to file placement and fragmentation(although not a problem like in ntfs/windows)
[17:43] <cordoval_> trying to think how can one notice that user without root priviledges installed sendmail
[17:43] <ikonia> cordoval_: it will have been installed as root (using sudo I suspect)
[17:44] <aeon-ltd> cordoval_: fakeroot compilation, then finished unknowingly by a root user maybe....
[17:44] <cordoval_> right but now that i "messed" up probably I would like to be able to know that information
[17:44] <cordoval_> aeon-ltd: don't get it
[17:44] <cordoval_> !info fakeroot
[17:44] <jubei> aeon-ltd: oh it's a filesystem thingie. ic. thanks
[17:44] <cdubya> how can I remove/disable network-manager to allow me to use wicd without hammering up my system and having the two fight over my wireless?
[17:44] <ikonia> cordoval_: you won't know how you installed it if you don't know
[17:44] <ikonia> cordoval_: and why do you know you messsed up ?
[17:44] <aeon-ltd> jubei: thats afaik though, i may not even be close :)
[17:45] <cordoval_> I thought there could be a way finding the permissions of some files or something
[17:45] <cordoval_> I will remove sendmail then
[17:45] <cordoval_> I think ubuntu does not have it by default
[17:45] <stealth--> Hey people, I got a small problem. I set my laptop to never lock the screen, but it automatically does it after 15 mins. Anyone help me?
[17:45] <ikonia> cordoval_: how are you going to remove it ?
[17:45] <cordoval_> I will do it this time as root i guess sudo apt-get uninstall sendmail ?
[17:45] <goltoof> ActionParsnip,    oic
[17:45] <ikonia> cordoval_: that won't work
[17:46] <aeon-ltd> cordoval_: haven't used apt in while but isn't it 'remove' not uninstall
[17:46] <ikonia> cordoval_: if you didn't install it using sudo (root) then you can't have used apt-get to install it
[17:46] <cordoval_> what about through the ubuntu software manager
[17:46] <laler> I can download .html files from my apache server but not .exe files???
[17:46] <cordoval_> let me try
[17:46] <stealth--> anyone?
[17:47] <laler> I can download .deb files from it
[17:47] <ikonia> laler: what happens when you try to download an .exe ?
[17:47] <ryanjr1997> go to installed software and type sendmail and click uninstall
[17:47] <laler> But not .pdf
[17:47] <aeon-ltd> stealth--: bug? or second screen lock daemon/app?
[17:47] <laler> It gives me an permission error
[17:47] <stealth--> aeon-ltd, I am not sure, but it automatically locks it and is really annoying
[17:47] <stealth--> No idea what to do with ot
[17:47] <ikonia> laler: fix the permissions then
[17:47] <laler> ikonia: it downloads <filename>.exe and within that exe is a html message
[17:47] <laler> its 777
[17:47] <ikonia> laler: what is the message
[17:47] <laler> oh
[17:48] <laler> ikonia, you are right
[17:48] <laler> the .exe was uploaded from another computer
[17:48] <stealth--> Brb dinner
[17:48] <laler> how do i get everything that is uploaded to the right permissions ? ikonia
[17:48] <cordoval_> sendmail-base, sendmail-cf, libsendmail-perl, php-mail, sensible-mda
[17:48] <ikonia> laler: look at the mask and setuid/setgid on the directories
[17:48] <laler> Because i upload it, and nobody can download it because its -rw------
[17:48] <ikonia> laler: look at the user and group owner
[17:49] <cordoval_> sendmail must have been installed as root since it shows up on the ubuntu software manager
[17:49] <laler> user and group owner is ok
[17:49] <laler> look at mask and setuid/setgid ?
[17:49] <laler> never heard of it
[17:49] <schmittr> Hey there: I (complete linux noob) got a problem with Ubuntu: Using an external usb-soundcard (PCM2702) I can not get any sound from it, though it is shown using ubuntu-bug audio, I can not see it in the mixer... tried the work-around from the Ubuntu-Wiki using this command: " cat /proc/asound/cards" .The device  is displayed at second position in the list, but now I am not sure how to edit settings, bring it to first position and ma
[17:49] <schmittr> ke it appear in the mixer...thanks for your help
[17:49] <ikonia> cordoval_: I don't k now why you are getting hung up about what user you installed it as
[17:49] <deostroll> hi has anyone used virtualbox to run fedora from ubuntu?
[17:49] <ikonia> laler: look at umask and setuid and setgid
[17:49] <ikonia> deostroll: yes
[17:49] <hax> how do i install the "grab" comand package?
[17:50] <deostroll> ikonia: how do you do that?
[17:50] <ikonia> hax: open the package manager search for grab, click install if that package is there
[17:50] <ikonia> deostroll: create a virtual machine, install fedora on it
[17:50] <laler> thanks ikonia
[17:50] <laler> umask it is
[17:50] <hax> ikonia: command for package mananger?
[17:51] <ikonia> !synaptic > hax
[17:51] <cordoval_> oh I see
[17:51] <cordoval_> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[17:51] <cordoval_>   hplip-cups sendmail-base procmail sensible-mda sendmail-cf libdb4.7
[17:51] <deostroll> ikonia: i already hve a hard disk (separate) with fedora installed on it...!
[17:51] <hax> ubottu: okey
[17:51] <ikonia> deostroll: in that case you'll need to use kvm or a different virtualisation tool to boot the physical partition into a vm
[17:51] <cordoval_> ikonia: thanks I got it
[17:51] <drizzt_> deostroll, fedora 14 has a bug with VB screen
[17:52] <schmittr> anyone who knows how to solve usb soundcard trouble?
[17:53] <goltoof> hax,  are you sure grab is even a valid package for building your file?
[17:53] <goltoof> hax,  what format was it again?
[17:53] <goltoof> doesn't even look like it exists
[17:54] <ahtmly2k> anybody know an audicity channel..? there's no file menu bar in my audacity window.. can anyone help me?
[17:54] <Quimper> what irc channel would be good for someone who is new to ubuntu and needs to be walked through steps to change permissions on a seemingly uncooperative SD card
[17:54] <hax> goltoof:  .xpi
[17:55] <goltoof> man chmod
[17:55] <Quimper> maybe a place that speaks more in english than unix?
[17:55] <hax> goltoof: yes it is, its the package i shud use in this case, but i think grab is oldschool like slackware ect
[17:55] <Quimper> anybody?
[17:56] <goltoof> hax,  well i can't find it
[17:56] <goltoof> Quimper,   man chmod
[17:56] <cordoval_> how to check mail sent?
[17:56] <Quimper> what does that mean?
[17:56] <Mathuin> I have a netbook running headless.  What's the CLI equivalent to update manager?
[17:57] <wikidjeff> How can I add 'nopat' to my kernel boot options? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and Grub2 I believe
[17:57] <Jordan_U> Mathuin: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:57] <goltoof> Quimper,    some examples   http://www.linuxclues.com/articles/16.htm
[17:57] <Jordan_U> wikidjeff: In /etc/default/grub
[17:57] <goltoof> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6j8EiWIVZs
[17:57] <Mathuin> Jordan_U: I've seen references online that say that approach misses kernel upgrades and the like, is that true?
[17:57] <duergar> Out of curiosity, what is a reliable program to use in Ubuntu that will convert divx/xvid avi and mkv files to a dvd iso i can burn?
[17:57] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | wikidjeff
[17:58] <hax> goltoof: me nether i will try find an alternativ to grab
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> duergar: devede
[17:58] <IdleOne> Mathuin: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and if you want to do a release upgrade: sudo update-manager -c
[17:58] <OerHeks> duergar, avidemux devede ffmpeg
[17:58] <goltoof> hax,    unless it's a package that came with it.... what is it again?
[17:58] <duergar> sweet. Thank you. I'll go try them now. :D
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> duergar: not sure how you mean by reliable, but that can make DVD ISOs from various video formats
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> duergar: theres a windows version too :)
[17:58] <Mathuin> IdleOne: is there any penalty to doing dist-upgrade all the time instead of upgrade?
[17:59] <duergar> actionparsnip: as in when I burn them I don't have to make 3-4 copies to get the audio in sync and whatnot
[17:59] <IdleOne> Mathuin: not that I know of
[17:59] <Mathuin> IdleOne: thanks!
[17:59] <k-rad> anyone have trouble in maverick reauthorizing after gnome screensaver kicks in ?

[18:08] <Vogg> hello ~ i am trying to install ubuntu and it "hangs" on the location selection screen every time - can any one help ? thanks
[18:08] <petan> SCD[Eire]: did you updated anything recentrly
[18:09] <SCD[Eire]> petan, it's been like this for weeks. It just getting annoying. It shuts down kinda. It just like hangs and doesn't actually power off but everything is stopped
[18:09] <ZykoticK9> petan, isn't the normal shutdown command "sudo shutdown -h now"?
[18:10] <petan> ZykoticK9: indeed too many OSes commands in my head
[18:10] <Quimper> idleone: Ive looked here  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions  but still dont get it how can i use this info to change permission on an SD card
[18:11] <flying_penguin> what package allows ubuntu to use the '.local' domain name lookup for intranets? could anyone point me in the right directoion?
[18:11] <boobsbr> howdy
[18:12] <Seveas> flying_penguin, avahi
[18:12] <IdleOne> quiescens: the command is: sudo chown USERNAME FILENAME , replace USERNAME with your actual username ( type whoami in a terminal to find that out) and replace FILENAME with the name of the file (make sure to include the full path to the file)
[18:12] <IdleOne> Quimper: the command is: sudo chown USERNAME FILENAME , replace USERNAME with your actual username ( type whoami in a terminal to find that out) and replace FILENAME with the name of the file (make sure to include the full path to the file)

[18:13] <boobsbr> who do the openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra packages work? do they include or remove the blacklisted keys from usage?
[18:13] <bjoich> !topic IdleOne
[18:13] <boobsbr> how*
[18:13] <jrib> rocket16: that's not a good reason to compile a kernel, no

[18:13] <Vogg> hello ~ i am trying to install ubuntu and it "hangs" on the location selection screen every time - can any one help ? thanks
[18:14] <duergar> What program should I use to burn DVD ISO's
[18:14] <jrib> !burn | duergar
[18:14] <flying_penguin>  Seveas, I'm working on a system I've got avahi installed but I still cant use the .local lookup. Is there any special configuration i need to change? thanks
[18:14] <hax> k
[18:14] <IdleOne> flying_penguin: seveas parted
[18:15] <duergar> which one of those is the "best" tho. I don't want to run through a ton of programs just to find one that works great
[18:15] <duergar> dealth with enough of that crap with windows
[18:15] <rocket16> jrib: I see. I read that Ubuntu kernel is too huge and unwieldy, and recompiling it will increase the performance to a small extent. If I try it, will there be any problem related to my current OS?
[18:15] <flying_penguin> anyone else know about avahi config?
[18:15] <Vogg> hello
[18:15] <meatbun> where is grub config?
[18:15] <IdleOne> duergar: I prefer gnomebaker, best is up to you. but you can easily install and try them.
[18:15] <meatbun> located at?
[18:15] <jrib> rocket16: nope, you can try it and see
[18:15] <jrib> !kernel | rocket16
[18:15] <ZykoticK9> duergar, i like k3b (BUT that requires all the KDE libraries), gnomebaker is a popular gnome cd/dvd burner.
[18:16] <duergar> ok. thanks
[18:16] <boobsbr> how do the openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra packages work? do they include or remove the blacklisted keys from usage?
[18:16] <goltoof> duergar,    brasero
[18:16] <rocket16> jrib: Oh, many thanks. :)
[18:16] <BluesKaj> !grub | meatbun
[18:16] <ZykoticK9> duergar, personally i'd recommend against brasero - but it's whatever works for you ;)
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: me too. i find gnomebaker works excellently
[18:17] <Vogg> hello
[18:17] <goltoof> ZykoticK9,   perhaps i should reconsider :)  it's all i ever tried really
[18:17] <duergar> I'm gonna run with gnomebaker now. it's installing while I'm making the iso I need to for my kids. If I don't like it I'll try brasero. :D
[18:17] <hopeless8009> I need help installing a lot in screen.
[18:17] <meatbun> ?!?1@?@!#$U()#&
[18:17] <meatbun> why they changed the file name?
[18:17] <meowsus> I'm running Ubuntu Server on my laptop (for efficiency). I realized that my default laptop functions dont work - such as putting the damn thing to sleep when i shut the lid - does anyone know of a good power management package?
[18:18] <obfu> flying_penguin: what were you looking to configure, i have used avahi from time to time
[18:18] <Vogg> hello
[18:18] <jrib> meowsus: erm, use the desktop version?
[18:18] <jrib> meowsus: s/desktop/normal
[18:18] <petan> meowsus: gnome-power-manager does not work?
[18:19] <meowsus> petan, ubuntu server is just command line. I'm using Openbox WDM... but i could try to install gnome-power-manager on top of that
[18:19] <Vogg> hello ........................................................................................................
[18:19] <hopeless8009> vogg; hello
[18:19] <jrib> meowsus: ubuntu server also uses server kernel :/
[18:19] <petan> meowsus: does not matter you can install it even on server
[18:20] <lock> is it not possible to install gui on ubuntu server?
[18:20] <Vogg> hopeless8009,hi
[18:20] <Vogg> hello ~ i am trying to install ubuntu and it "hangs" on the location selection screen every time - can any one help ? thanks
[18:20] <Gorilla_no_Baka> lock:  it is
[18:20] <hopeless8009> vogg; do you know how to install a login screen
[18:20] <IdleOne> lock: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:20] <meowsus> jrib, i'm just playing around. I have regular ubuntu on my workstation.
[18:20] <petan> meowsus: but not sure if it works with another environment
[18:20] <lock> i thought it was possible
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> lock: yes but if you want a desktop OS you may as well install the desktop system
[18:20] <Gorilla_no_Baka> or even better sudo apt-get install jwm
[18:20] <lock> yes, but what if you want full server capabilities?
[18:20] <meowsus> petan, i might try this too: http://samwel.tk/laptop_mode/packages/ubuntu
[18:20] <Gorilla_no_Baka> hello everyone ..gorilla is back :)
[18:20] <Vogg> hopeless8009, no
[18:21] <jrib> meowsus: you should instead do a minimal install and build from there
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> lock: you can use the desktop installas a server
[18:21] <lock> (im not asking out of necessity, just out of curiousity)
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> lock: the whole idea of the server is to NOT have a gui for stability and security
[18:21] <lock> right of course
[18:21] <flying_penguin> obfu, i am trying to get the '.local' domain lookup working for on of my machenes on my network
[18:21] <meowsus> jrib... i didn't realize that was an option
[18:21] <petan> meowsus: sure
[18:22] <lock> apt-get might be one of the must useful linux utilities out there
[18:22] <flying_penguin> i can lookup the machene by ip just fine but it dosn't resolv to hostname.local
[18:22] <lock> really simplifies the whole process
[18:22] <Quimper> idleone: i type exactly? "sudo chown myname/media/ebooks"  location line says media/ebooks and ebooks is the name of the sd card.  is this correct?  when i do this the next line that comes up says"missing operand after 'myname/media/ebooks'
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> lock: i'd say init was fairly essential ;)
[18:22] <meowsus> How is that done from an alternate install?
[18:22] <thaluser>  /quit
[18:22] <abhijeet> hi.. I am trying to remove the Evince pdf viewer.. but software manager showing "If you remove the application you are not able to get update for ubuntu desktop" . Can anyone tell me how can i remove evince without hampering my system...

[18:23] <akashj87> a good GUI based IRC ? converted xchat rpm to deb but the program doesnt load
[18:23] <dogxjf> helllo
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: why, xchat is in the ubuntu repo
[18:24] <IdleOne> akashj87: why did you convert the rpm? sudo apt-get install xchat-common
[18:24] <bastidrazor> akashj87: there is an xchat in the repositories
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> !info xchat
[18:24] <lock> sudo apt-get install xchat
[18:24] <lock> :)
[18:24] <abhijeet> akashj87, are u trying to install it on ubuntu.. then already dep package is there
[18:24] <nenu> its in ubuntu repo
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: why are you messing around with rpms?
[18:24] <IdleOne> Quimper: the best advice I can give you is to re-read those links.
[18:24] <akashj87> i got that from their site
[18:24] <abhijeet> akashj87, whose site??
[18:25] <lock> akashj87: in terminal, type "sudo apt-get install xchat"
[18:25] <akashj87> xchat.org
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: ubuntu uses repos which is where your upgrades come from too, you dont have to go to "their site" and download anytning, just use software centre and its all there for you
[18:25] <abhijeet> guys how can I remove evince pdf viewer???
[18:25] <Gorilla_no_Baka> lol
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: sudo apt-get --purge remove evince
[18:25] <Gorilla_no_Baka>  why would you want to do that?
[18:26] <akashj87> ActionParsnip : are they latest version ? I was thinking that software centre gives not very latest
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: no need, its in the repo and is a deb already, its also bbeen cmopiled and tested on the distro you are using right now
[18:26] <skydrome> when you install lighttpd from the .deb, a dialog box shows about entering the hostname for ssl certs, was wondering if there is a way to skip that or force the 'OK' option
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: its tested to be solid and stable, latest doesn't always mean better. I dont use xchat
[18:26] <ikonia> skydrome: ask the guys who built the deb
[18:26] <abhijeet> ActionParsnip, thanks...
[18:26] <skydrome> ugh they told me to ask my distro
[18:28] <Vogg> hello ~ i am trying to install ubuntu and it "hangs" on the location selection screen every time - can any one help ? thanks
[18:28] <akashj87> ActionParsnip : which one you recommend ?
[18:28] <paddy_> where is my screenrc file? ubuntu 10.10?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Vogg: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[18:28] <iceroot> paddy_: ~/.screenrc
[18:28] <iceroot> paddy_: by default there is no file to create it
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> akashj87: I use pidgin personally, but its out of a long ingrained habit
[18:28] <paddy_> iceroot: I can't find it there!
[18:29] <iceroot> paddy_: by default there is no file to create it
[18:29] <goltoof> noob question... what does the rc mean?
[18:29] <iceroot> paddy_: vi ~/.screenrc
[18:29] <paddy_> iceroot: Thankyou
[18:29] <lock> goltoof: in rc.d?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: release candidate
[18:29] <goltoof> in .screenrc
[18:29] <lock> goltoof: * as in rc.d?
[18:30] <goltoof> ActionParsnip,   thought so just checking
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: not so sure ni screenrc
[18:30] <goltoof> ActionParsnip,   or /.weatherrc
[18:30] <goltoof> etc
[18:30] <cordoval_> so what happened with the IRC?
[18:31] <Ek1_> using ubuntu lucid, gnome as desktop env.; how do I configure mouse wheel scroll settings?
[18:31] <cordoval_> did they upgrade or something?
[18:31] <Quimper> after fussing with this memory card, i have come to the conclusion it is defective.  end on story.  thanks for your help.  bye
[18:31] <Pici> goltoof: runcorn.  See http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/R/rc-file.html
[18:31] <davidlt> Question: how to determine how much of memory (including swap) is using program? Should I look at RSS or VSS?
[18:31] <Pici> cordoval_: We cleaned out some old modes.
[18:31] <cordoval_> anyone knows how to check email sent over ssmtp? or the mail command?
[18:32] <Soopa> hello all, how can I change which driver my printer is using?  I need to do it on the command line since my Ubuntu machine is headless.
[18:32] <cordoval_> Pici: thanks for the info
[18:32] <mrmonday> I've just installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 on my netbook, however the left mouse button doesn't work (on either the external mouse or trackpad, any combination of plugged in or not). That is, at least, until I use the touch screen on the laptop to click something, then it works - any ideas how to solve this? If the solution involves disabling the touch screen I'm fine with that
[18:32] <goltoof> Pici,    very insightful, thanks
[18:32] <airtonix> Soopa, not possible to use the CUPS webinterface ?
[18:32] <Pici> runcom rather.
[18:33] <Soopa> airtonix: oh, that's possible.. can I change the driver from there?
[18:33] <goltoof> yeah, the other can get a little messy
[18:33] <airtonix> Soopa, not sure, worth checking out though
[18:33] <hopeless8009> anyone know how to install a login screen
[18:33] <airtonix> hopeless8009, form layout or theme ?
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> mrmonday: try these boot options: i8024.reset   i8024.nomux=1   irqpoll      see if they help
[18:34] <hopeless8009> airtonix, im not sure
[18:34] <mrmonday> ActionParsnip: all at once?
[18:34] <hopeless8009> airtonix, i got it from gnome art web sight would you like me to send link
[18:34] <Ek1_> using ubuntu lucid, gnome as desktop env.; how do I configure mouse wheel scroll settings (for eg. 10 lines per scroll)?
[18:34] <elfonia> how can i open or decompress .uha files?
[18:34] <elfonia> i have tried winUHARC under wine but it was not good idea :)
[18:35] <akashj87> ActionParsnip : ty again, i was afk, sry
[18:35] <airtonix> hopeless8009, well put it this way: the loging screen just uses gtk widgets and runs as the user "gdm" therefore it just uses gtk themes to change how it looks, but if you want to change the input fields location or something then thats alot mroe complicated
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> mrmonday: try different combinations
[18:35] <smt> hi, how do i transfer an opened application from one x-server to another?
[18:35] <glitchd> im wondering if i should look into upgrading my xorg
[18:35] <airtonix> hopeless8009, and becuase it's just a gtk theme used by a "user", the process is that you change the chosen theme of that user in its gconf setup... there are tools that make this really easy
[18:35] <Soopa> airtonix: that worked :)  thanks
[18:36] <hopeless8009> airtonix, i have something i downlaoded with the icons and stuff so i just need to aplly it
[18:37] <airtonix> hopeless8009, i would look at something called gdm2setup
[18:37] <hopeless8009> airtonix, ok do i get that form software center
[18:37] <goltoof> any way to list folders by number of files they contain?
[18:37] <airtonix> hopeless8009, maybe im not sure, last time i had to grab it from a PPA
[18:37] <airtonix> goltoof, in terminal or in nautilus ?
[18:38] <hopeless8009> airtonix, not sure what a ppa is
[18:38] <JamesGecko_> When I try to use usb-creator.exe from the maverick ISO in Windows to install Ubuntu onto an NTFS flash drive, I get a "failed to install bootloader" error.
[18:38] <goltoof> airtonix,   either
[18:38] <airtonix> !ppa | hopeless8009
[18:38] <glitchd> i have xorg 1.7.6, should i want to upgrade it??
[18:38] <ZykoticK9> !ppa | hopeless8009
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> JamesGecko_: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[18:39] <airtonix> goltoof, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-find-the-total-number-of-files-in-a-folder-510009/
[18:39] <peterpops_> I've got a problem with my laptop and ubuntu, my gpu-fan is not recognized...what to do?
[18:39] <hopeless8009> airtonix, well if its third party and not supported is there any other way
[18:39] <goltoof> airtonix,    thx
[18:39] <JamesGecko_> ActionParsnip, No; I got it from bittorrent.
[18:39] <sosaited> In Ubuntu 10.04 I had installed pavucontrol and pavumeter so I could record the sounds playing on computer, but I cant do it in Maverick. Any tips? Pavucontrol shows the controls, but doesn't show the levels as volume being played
[18:39] <airtonix> hopeless8009, there is but gdm2setup just does what you'd have to do manually
[18:40] <airtonix> hopeless8009, http://ubuntuguide.net/change-login-window-theme-in-ubuntu-9-1010-04-and-higher
[18:40] <goltoof> is there a way to get vim to autosave entries?
[18:40] <Mjiig> does tty7 make use of bash? i want to add a command to my .bashrc that will stop any commands until i enter some input, but this will obviously cause problems if tty7 uses it
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> JamesGecko_: still worth an md5 test, also check the health of the device too. You can use the 1 2 3 installer from pendrive linux too to put the ISO onto the USB
[18:41] <airtonix> hopeless8009, you might like ubuntu-tweak better than gdm2setup (as it provides other useful features)
[18:41] <sipior> goltoof: it more or less does already. try "help swap" in vim.
[18:42] <mrmonday> ActionParsnip: no luck :/
[18:43] <goltoof> sipior,   help swap?
[18:43] <sipior> goltoof: yes, type ":help swap" whilst running the editor.
[18:43] <hopeless8009> airtonix, seems like a pin in the *** so i'll just leave it alone i dont want to risk my mechine right now
[18:43] <goltoof> sipior,   yes i did, nada
[18:43] <goltoof> E149: Sorry, no help for swap
[18:44] <glitchd> anyone know anything about upgrading xorg?
[18:44] <goltoof> !anyone
[18:44] <sipior> goltoof: do you have only vim-tiny installed?
[18:44] <sipior> goltoof: try installing the full vim.
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: theres the xorg edgers PPA but its EXTEMELY experimental and usually not stable
[18:44] <goltoof> sipior,    so vim isn't full by default?   huh
[18:45] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, i have xorg 1.7.6,
[18:45] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, should i even worry about ungrading??
[18:45] <meatbun> how to fix broken packages with apt get?
[18:45] <dralock> Where is the default resolution of xorg defined? There is only a screen reference in xorg.conf and I would like to use the nvidia 180 driver, but my monitor is giving me "out of range" error.
[18:45] <goltoof> xorg.conf
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: i wouldnt dude
[18:46] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, ok thx
[18:46] <goltoof> dralock,     /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:46] <glitchd> alrighty im outtie
[18:47] <pkkm> I've got one LPT port in my computer, but /dev/parport0 and /dev/lp0 don't exist. Do I need to load a kernel module or something?
[18:47] <meatbun> !brorken
[18:47] <meatbun> !broken
[18:47] <goltoof> sipior,    so whats the diff between vim tiny and full ?   no help files?
[18:47] <shadeofgrey> hello...  running an intel mac here and ive seen docs that claim you can now install ubuntu without having to bother with refit?
[18:48] <iceroot> goltoof: vim.tiny = vi
[18:48] <harmus> hi all
[18:48] <sipior> goltoof: among other things
[18:48] <shadeofgrey> is this true or do you still have to do special things for EFI?
[18:48] <goltoof> iceroot,   but i do vi and ask "help swap" and it gives me the answer
[18:48] <goltoof> iceroot,   just after i installed full vim
[18:48] <dralock> goltoof, ok, thanks, I was wondering if it had been moved to some include file I was too blind to see.
[18:48] <elfonia> how can i open or decompress .uha files? is there anybody who knows my solution  :)
[18:48] <harmus> my ubuntu fully crashed about an hour ago, does anyone know where i should start checking?
[18:49] <harmus> screen went blank and had to reboot, no hd activity etc
[18:49] <aeon-ltd> harmus: has it happened before?, if so what were you doing at the time?
[18:49] <OerHeks> shadeofgrey, did you check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac  ( i do not own a mac)
[18:49] <goltoof> when i type vi it's only using vim tiny not vim...?
[18:50] <goltoof> !vim
[18:50] <harmus> aeon-ltd, i wasn't doing anything but a lot of stuff was open, 2 VM's, thunderbird, firefox, chromium, editors, truecrypt, meld,
[18:50] <harmus> don't know where to start checking
[18:50] <mrmonday> shadeofgrey: last time I put linux on a mac I needed rEFIt, haven't tried recently though :)
[18:50] <shadeofgrey> oer:  got my information from http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-148617.html
[18:50] <goltoof> !code
[18:51] <harmus> aeon-ltd, no never happened before
[18:51] <sipior> goltoof: you can uninstall vim-tiny, or use update-alternatives to select where that symbolic link points.
[18:51] <boldii> hey
[18:51] <goltoof> sipior,    right
[18:51] <OerHeks> shadeofgrey, old article 2005
[18:51] <OerHeks> check my url
[18:51] <meatbun> !s
[18:51] <boldii> is anybody here familiar with the panflute-applet? I want to maximize my rhythmbox from there and not only play and pause. anybody knows if this is possible?
[18:51] <Mjiig> does tty7 make use of bash? i want to add a command to my .bashrc that will stop any commands until i enter some input, but this will obviously cause problems if tty7 uses it
[18:51] <harmus> aeon-ltd, hmm i put in a new keyboard a while before that, maybe it has something to do with usb
[18:52] <sudoer> what is the fastest way I can see if a file has data in it? currently i use wc -l file  but for large files it takes too long
[18:52] <shadeofgrey> OerHeks: it would really help if you could point me to pages that deal with macbookpros because imacs are totally different
[18:52] <reggie_> hey folks could use a little bit of help installing ebox on ubuntu server
[18:52] <sosaited> Pulse audio meter is not showing anything when I play something

[18:53] <gdb> sudoer: ls -l $filename
[18:53] <sudoer> ok, cool
[18:53] <gdb> sudoer: If the file is larger than 0 bytes, there is data in it.
[18:53] <aeon-ltd> harmus: do tests, like hdd health check, mem test etc, since you can't(or don't know how) to invoke the crash changing keyboard isn't a good enough test
[18:53] <echo310infantry> sosaited use audacity
[18:53] <shadeofgrey> thank tou
[18:54] <reggie_> is there a chat room for ubuntu server?
[18:54] <echo310infantry> yes
[18:54] <Pici> reggie_: #ubuntu-server

[18:54] <reggie_> thanx Pici
[18:54] <echo310infantry> type {/list}
[18:54] <harmus> aeon-ltd, so it's quite impossible ubuntu (maverick) just crashes because of software (like i'm used to from windows?)
[18:54] <shadeofgrey> ActionParsnip: its the best computer ive ever owned
[18:54] <sosaited> Tried both Pulse and hardware device

I use Ubuntu Lucid (uname -a: Linux laptop 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux). Do I need to load a kernel module or something?

[18:56] <echo310infantry> brian do a restart
[18:56] <sipior> pkkm: yep, try "sudo modprobe parport"
[18:56] <harmus> aeon-ltd, is there a test for usb-controllers?
[18:56] <sipior> pkkm: add it to /etc/modules to ensure that it's loaded at boot.
[18:56] <brianBTB> ... how?
[18:56] <brianBTB> sudo modport parport?
[18:56] <reggie_> hey Pici was trying to add the ebox ppa using vi but I am stuck

[18:57] <echo310infantry> power
[18:57] <aeon-ltd> harmus: don't think so... but ask in #hardware or other
[18:57] <gdb> sudoer: That returns the size of the file in bytes (ONLY on Linux)
[18:57] <reggie_> it wont allow me to add the correct lines to the etc apt sources list
[18:57] <sipior> brianBTB: no, that was for someone else, i'm afraid.
[18:57] <harmus> aeon-ltd, ok, thanks
[18:57] <brianBTB> lol ok.
[18:57] <brianBTB> and restart doent help
[18:57] <echo310infantry> can u boot grub?
[18:57] <gdb> sudoer: so you can do something like this: fsize=$(stat -c %s $file)
[18:57] <aeon-ltd> harmus: btw its very possible it was just some random bug that caused the creash
[18:57] <aeon-ltd> *crash

[19:00] <mrnelson1986> is there a reason why deluge is using 92% of my CPU when I'm only uploading 1 torrent to someone at 50kb/s?
[19:00] <IsmAvatar> I'm trying to install updates via Update Manager, but it says that some of the packages are untrusted, and that causes the update to fail. How do I get past this?
[19:00] <brianBTB> it shows the safety screen, then goes black. after that it does show if you press the home button.
[19:00] <echo310infantry> mr nelson there is a update for that i believe
[19:00] <goltoof> !bios brianBTB
[19:00] <goltoof> !bios | brianBTB

[19:01] <echo310infantry> mrnelson do the update!
[19:01] <harmus> mrnelson1986,  surely software fault then
[19:02] <mrnelson1986> echo310infantry, update from where? not ubuntu, is there a seperate ppa i need to add?
[19:02] <sudoer> is there somethinglike cut but instead of by line number, does a split of whitespace?
[19:02] <echo310infantry> its a download
[19:02] <sudoer> gdb: i will probably just use ls since I need something that works on both linux and mac
[19:02] <echo310infantry> brian can u boot using live cd?
[19:03] <brianBTB> what livecd?
[19:03] <brianBTB> i use geexbox and used to use slitaz

[19:03] <pkkm> sipior, I executed that command and /dev/parport0 still doesn't exist. I have "lp" in my /etc/modules. Should I upgrade to Maverick?
[19:03] <IsmAvatar> I'm trying to install updates via Update Manager, but it says that some of the packages are untrusted, and that causes the update to fail. Apparently 'compiz' is untrusted... How do I get past this?
[19:03] <brianBTB> uncheck it
[19:04] <brianBTB> why should i use the livecd
[19:04] <mun27> how to install socks proxy server on linux
[19:04] <echo310infantry> to see if its ur install that corrupted
[19:04] <harmus> IsmAvatar, uncheck compiz and uncheck the source where you update compiz from, unless it's ubuntu's original source
[19:04] <gdb> sudoer: Well, that's easy enough to define in the top of your script.  On Mac OS X, it's stat -f %z $file
[19:05] <biggerfisch> Im on a laptop, running ubuntu from a flash drive. However, the touchpad doesn't work under linux.  An external mouse does work and the touchpad works under a certain other OS. Anyone have any ideas?
[19:05] <mrnelson1986> echo310infantry, my version matches the version on deluge website 1.3.1-2-maverick-ppa1
[19:05] <brianBTB> why should i use the livecd
[19:05] <brianBTB> hello??
[19:05] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, install the synaptics package

[19:05] <brianBTB> yes
[19:05] <IsmAvatar> harmus: I'm not sure what source it's getting it from. How do I find out?
[19:06] <ko_> hello

[19:06] <brianBTB> oh.
[19:06] <brianBTB> lol]
[19:06] <harmus> IsmAvatar, open up synaptic or the update manager and go to settings / sources

[19:07] <echo310infantry> brian use it to see if its ur install that corrupted or something else
[19:07] <goltoof> how do i change the default terminal hotkey?
[19:07] <pkkm> sipior, No, it doesn't.
[19:07] <harmus> IsmAvatar, there's settings, right?
[19:07] <brianBTB> echo310infantry: why should i use live cd?
[19:07] <echo310infantry> brian use it to see if its ur install that corrupted or something else
[19:07] <brianBTB> no. its not
[19:07] <echo310infantry> what is not
[19:07] <IsmAvatar> harmus: Yes, it opens up the "Software Sources" window with tabs {Ubuntu Software, Other Software, Updates, Authentication, Statistics}
[19:07] <harmus> IsmAvatar,  on the updates screen
[19:07] <brianBTB> just dolphin doent work. that what i need help with
[19:08] <mrnelson1986> echo310infantry, sorry i didnt realize you were speakin to me, all of my software is up to date, including kernel
[19:08] <goltoof> i mean, change the default terminal program, to terminator instead
[19:08] <harmus> IsmAvatar, take the second tab
[19:08] <sipior> pkkm: what does "lsmod | grep parport" return?
[19:08] <harmus> IsmAvatar, Other software
[19:08] <IsmAvatar> harmus: done
[19:08] <ko_> i use hardy heron and lucid lynx. I have a usb camera connected via a usb hub to my laptop. i have tried many hubs, but only two did work with hardy heron. Later on, they did not work. And later on on of the two hubs did work again. Is this a bug of hardy heron?
[19:08] <brianBTB> brb
[19:08] <ko_> these hubs are powered hubs
[19:08] <sudoer> gdb: thx!
[19:08] <harmus> IsmAvatar, see if you got a source there for compiz
[19:08] <gdb> sudoer: Sure thing!
[19:08] <echo310infantry> mrnelson is using a different manager out of the question?
[19:08] <xcyclist> All my network access services appear to be broken on one of my 10.10 laptops, but they work on the other.
[19:08] <sort_-R> jrib: My 10s freeze every 9 mins issue disapeared since I've rebooted once with original kernel (ubu8.04)... Now I'm back to my own kernel and all is fine. Can't figure it why but it works continuously !
[19:09] <harmus> IsmAvatar, if you don't now, run 'sudo apt-get update' in your terminal and check which source is giving you trouble
[19:09] <pkkm> sipior, parport                32635  0
[19:09] <SpaceBass> hey folks
[19:09] <mzawieska> hello
[19:09] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, did you mean the xserver-xorg-input-synaptic package?
[19:10] <sipior> pkkm: have you checked your bios to ensure that the parallel port is enabled?
[19:10] <ko_> what is the newest kernel of hardy heron?
[19:10] <IsmAvatar> harmus: None of them seem to be giving me trouble. None of the ones listed seems to be specifically for compiz. There's Independant, pidgin-dev, pidgen-dev, and Canonical PArtners
[19:10] <mrnelson1986> echo310infantry, no it's not, i just liked the interface of deluge over transmission (default ubuntu install) and heard good things about deluge
[19:10] <sipior> pkkm: sometimes it's set off by default (i don't know why)
[19:10] <SpaceBass> the system drive on my box keeps filling up - there is something writing files somewhere that I can't find, I'm doing a search for large files and not finding anything unexpected
[19:10] <mzawieska> i have question..the disk i am using its broken i guess..I can not install windows in it. Right now using partition magic to format the drive but it stops at 94 %
[19:10] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, no, synaptics with an S is for touchpads
[19:10] <SpaceBass> Anyone have any ideas how I can determine what is eating my drive space?
[19:10] <mzawieska> is there any programs i could use to fix the hard drive with the errors and such
[19:10] <ikonia> mrnelson1986: the disk is broken, what do you expect
[19:10] <echo310infantry> idk then
[19:11] <harmus> SpaceBass, sudo apt-get install filelight
[19:11] <pkkm> sipior, I didn't, but I'm going to do it now. I've added "parport" to /etc/modules. Should I comment "lp"?
[19:11] <mzawieska> i mean it has errors but i see it
[19:11] <sipior> pkkm: no, no need
[19:11] <mzawieska> i took it off and plug to other computer i see it
[19:11] <harmus> SpaceBass, gives you a visual view of the sizes of the files
[19:11] <mrnelson1986> ikonia, what are you talking about
[19:11] <mzawieska> but i think it has errors
[19:11] <juik> hi zth
[19:12] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, i copied and pasted synaptics and there is no package named that that my system can find
[19:12] <harmus> IsmAvatar, do you get an error if you run apt-get update, and what error?
[19:12] <ikonia> mrnelson1986: sorry, that was for mzawieska
[19:12] <SpaceBass> harmus, thanks - I'll try filelight, but right now drive is at 100%
[19:12] <goltoof> how do i change the default terminal program to terminator
[19:12] <ikonia> mzawieska: the disk is broken, that's why it won't work
[19:12] <goltoof> for the hotkey
[19:12] <dean> Hi there I have just installed lxde on my gnome ubuntu os how do I get to use it?
[19:12] <SpaceBass> I'm using 'find / -size +20000k -print0 | xargs -0 ls -alh' to find large files, nothing standing out
[19:12] <IsmAvatar> harmus: none. It hits and igns a bunch of stuff. Ign all the translation stuff.
[19:13] <ikonia> SpaceBass: du -h look for big dirs
[19:13] <mzawieska> ikonia is there any programs i could use to see whats goin on with the drive?
[19:13] <ikonia> mzawieska: only programs from the manufacturer
[19:13] <echo310infantry> !weather 10016
[19:13] <echo310infantry> the weather bot on this channel is broke!!!!!!!!!!
[19:13] <ikonia> echo310infantry: this is an ubuntu support channel, please try to keep to that topic
[19:14] <max> hi
[19:14] <harmus> IsmAvatar, i'm not sure then, update without updating compiz and check back later; maybe someone can tell you more
[19:14] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, i'm sorry i didn't read the whole thing you put in before, and since you left the S off the end of it, I thought it was the wrong package....xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is the correct package
[19:14] <Guest36740> !deluge
[19:14] <goltoof> echo310infantry,    sudo apt-get install weather-util
[19:14] <dean> Can anybody help me with trying to use lxde which I have installed through software manager on ubuntu gnome?
[19:15] <echo310infantry> gol i meant in irc channel not on my os
[19:15] <Guest36740> can some help how to install deluge
[19:15] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, in that case, it was already installed, and the touchpad still does not work
[19:15] <IsmAvatar> harmus: the problem isn't just compiz. It's almost all of them are reporting that most of the stuff is untrusted
[19:15] <ikonia> Guest36740: read what the bot just told you
[19:15] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, at all? or limited
[19:15] <IsmAvatar> harmus: hang on... it seems to be doing something now
[19:15] <dean> Guest36740, have you tried using software manager?
[19:15] <harmus> IsmAvatar, then you probably need to reimport the keys for the ubuntu servers
[19:15] <chiz> Hi to all!
[19:16] <goltoof> echo310infantry,    what's it do?  give the weather?
[19:16] <echo310infantry> yes
[19:16] <harmus> IsmAvatar, or a temporary error
[19:16] <chiz> Can someone tell me how to uninstall ATI frivers?
[19:16] <goltoof> for who?  the user you specify?
[19:16] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, it does nothing at all
[19:16] <IsmAvatar> harmus: it seems to have fixed itself. Temporary error.
[19:16] <Guest36740> dean i will try that.
[19:16] <mrnelson1986> Guest36740, go to the software center and search "deluge" and it pops up...it couldn't be easier
[19:16] <ikonia> !ati > chiz
[19:16] <echo310infantry> guest learn to google
[19:16] <dean> np Guest36740 let me know if you need any help?
[19:16] <goltoof> echo310infantry,      : |
[19:16] <ikonia> echo310infantry: this bot only serves ubuntu questions, and the channels topic is ubuntu support, please try to keep to that
[19:17] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, every setting I can find says it is enabled, xinput list shows that its there, it just doesnt work
[19:17] <mrnelson1986> dean, all you do is (at the logon screen) click the box at the bottom that says Ubuntu desktop edition and change it to lxde
[19:17] <Guest36740> dean thanks for the hint in am installing it now.. :)
[19:17] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, could always try removing it and re-adding it and seeing if it is recognized
[19:17] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, other than that, it should definitely be working
[19:18] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, i tried that and it didnt work. thanks though
[19:18] <dean> ok mrnelson1986 will see how I get on will I still have everything I have installed on gnome?
[19:18] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, or try installing the cpad-config and tpconfig packages
[19:18] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, I think its related to the fact im running a persistant flashdrive
[19:19] <wolf_-> Hi, I run Karmic 9.10 and want to upgrade to latest 10.10 (64 bit), however the Update manager says 'New Ubuntu release '10.04.1 LTS' is available. Is it possible to upgrade directly to 10.10 through update manager?
[19:19] <Diverdude> how do i see the total size of all content in a directory?
[19:19] <SpaceBass> found it, my syslog is 64g!
[19:19] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, i havnt reinstalled those. I'll do that now
[19:19] <dean> your welcome Guest36740 were all learners in some way still getting to grips with linux myself
[19:19] <mrnelson1986> dean, yes the only thing that changes is your desktop environment, all applications should still be there
[19:19] <wolf_-> Diverdude: check the preferences (right clicking you'll find)
[19:19] <Diverdude> wolf_-, id say install from scratch
[19:19] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, last thing i can think of is was the USB mouse plugged in AS you booted?
[19:19] <brianBTB> am back.
[19:19] <Diverdude> wolf_-, i wanted a command
[19:20] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, or as you installed ubuntu to the flash
[19:20] <dean> ok mrnelson1986 is this at the logon screen where it prompts you for your password?
[19:20] <brianBTB> can someone help me now?
[19:20] <meatbun> i am not able to upgrade
[19:20] <meatbun> gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade"
[19:20] <wolf_-> Diverdude: maybe that's the best idea. I throught that maybe there'll be some way to run a new check on latest releases.
[19:20] <meatbun> anyone know what to do?
[19:20] <wolf_-> Diverdude: du -hs foo/ bar/
[19:20] <brianBTB> with dolphin emu
[19:20] <thaar> How do I know what content types I have in a PDF file containing fields?
[19:20] <wolf_-> -h is for human formatted
[19:20] <mrnelson1986> dean, yes you put in your user name and then a box appears at the bottom with a dropdown arrow
[19:20] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, thats possible on the install.  i've tried not plugging one in during boot, but that has no effect
[19:20] <brianBTB> btw im running pal Sonic and the Secret rings and using  a real wiimote via blutoioth
[19:20] <brianBTB>  it shows the safety screen, then goes black. after that it does show if you press the home button.
[19:21] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, i've had a lot of problems with installing ubuntu directly to the usb drive...it seems to lock in the hardware settings that it detected during the install and is very difficult to change them
[19:21] <Diverdude> wolf_-, each time i have attempted an update something has gone wrong
[19:21] <Guest36740> dean i appreciate ubuntu volunteers and always keep up the good work.. :)
[19:21] <Diverdude> wolf_-, and i always end up doing fresh install anyway
[19:21] <brianBTB> can someone help me now with dolphin emulator???
[19:21] <brianBTB> PLEASE
[19:21] <dean> Ok mrnelson1986 thanks for your help
[19:21] <revlo> hi by running wubi (for 10.4 lts) its does not show me an install from windows button (same with livecd for LTS 10.4 64bit (running vista 32bit )
[19:22] <echo310infantry> brian i tried to help you but you didnt listen
[19:22] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, I installed it using the startup disk creator, but I know that has bugs
[19:22] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, It was installed from another ubuntu install
[19:22] <dean> Guest36740, As you like media by sounds of it you may need to install restricted extras to get sound and video codecs
[19:23] <brianBTB> who?
[19:23] <brianBTB> dammit can ANYONE help??
[19:23] <echo310infantry> me to you brian
[19:23] <Diverdude> brianBTB, state your problem
[19:23] <goltoof> !patience | brianBTB
[19:23] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, good luck :) I'm mostly out of ideas, haha.  So wait, you installed from the current laptop through startup disk creator and are running it on the same CPU? or a new one
[19:23] <brianBTB> can someone help me now with dolphin emulator???
[19:23] <brianBTB>  it shows the safety screen, then goes black. after that it does show if you press the home button.
[19:23] <brianBTB> btw im running pal Sonic and the Secret rings and using  a real wiimote via blutoioth
[19:24] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, from a desktop, i installed to flash drive which this laptop is booting off of. Thanks for trying to help
[19:24] <Guest36740> dean ubuntu is bit difficult for me but i really like it its really now like windows to spoon feed the user..
[19:24] <brianBTB> thnks. diverdude, goltoof and ubottu
[19:25] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, i see, well honestly i do think it is the hardware bug, good luck
[19:25] <quizme> how do i logout of ubuntu ?
[19:25] <Guest36740> dean ubuntu is bit difficult for me but i really like it its really not like windows to spoon feed the user.. sorry for the spelling mistake.
[19:25] <quizme> i installed cairo-dock and my logout button is gone
[19:25] <dean> keep persevering Guest36740 you'll get hang of it but as your using deluge for torrents I would suggest typing in the search box restricted extras as if you try to play avi or certain audio files you wont get anywhere
[19:26] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, Thanks for trying :), i know with absolute certainty that the touchpad works in a certain proprietary OS
[19:26] <bartas> h
[19:26] <bartas> o
[19:26] <OerHeks> quizme add a logout button to cairo dock itself
[19:26] <quizme> oerheks okay, how ?
[19:26] <harmus> brianBTB, didn't know such an emulator exists! good to know
[19:26] <quizme> oerheks: create a launcher ?
[19:27] <OerHeks> quizme i think it is available as a standard button
[19:27] <quizme> what's the command to logout of a gnome session ?
[19:27] <quizme> oerheks: okay, in that case what do i do ?
[19:27] <brianBTB> harmus: yeh! but It doesnt work. so lol, good to know but no good.
[19:28] <biggerfisch> mrnelson1986, Thanks for trying to help, I'll mess with it some other day, after some updates hopefully in the future that make it work.
[19:28] <scubes13> attempting to connect samba3 to ADS.... when issuing "net ads join -Uadministrator", I am getting this error kerberos_kinit_password mailto:Administrator@AD.DOMAIN.LOCAL failed: KDC has no support for encryption type
[19:28] <harmus> brianBTB, good to know that too :)
[19:29] <scubes13> looks like maybe I am experiencing issues from krb5 version 1.8.1 according to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/567188
[19:29] <ki9a|2> I have a bluetooth keyboard; I can connect it just fine AFTER I login; and after a boot it also reconnects when I have logged in, but it would be nice to have it connected while logging in. How do I get it to work before login?
[19:29] <quizme> anybody here know the command to logout ?
[19:29] <kareema> /help/msg
[19:29] <OerHeks> gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog
[19:29] <scubes13> tried using "allow_weak_crypto = true" in my samba 3 server's /etc/krb5.conf file.... but still getting the same error....
[19:29] <brianBTB> Harmus: yes i am having trouble that is why i am asking.
[19:29] <OerHeks> quizme, > gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog
[19:29] <mrnelson1986> biggerfisch, i'm almost positive it would work if the ubuntu was installed to the internal hard drive, it is a bug i've noticed during USB drive installs
[19:29] <brianBTB> btw the iso works in windows.
[19:29] <quizme> oerheks thank you
[19:29] <harmus> quizme, does 'exit' not work?
[19:29] <josepha> Good evening. My machine stoped booting with. Error 16. I now tried installing grub again with a live cd. But when I do grub-install --recheck /dev/sda I am just getting /dev/sda does not have a corresponding Bios drive. Any idea on how I can make my computer alive again?
[19:29] <Devilz_108> Any electrical computer engineer can help me? or any computer engineer? please
[19:30] <scubes13> anyone know of a way of backing a package down to a previous version via apt-get on ubuntu?.... not even sure how to see what previous versions are available for a package in apt repositories....
[19:30] <scubes13> .
[19:30] <Guest36740> dean i missed the wwf match this week on the tv if there is i could get it back (mbc action) by downloading it..
[19:30] <Connor_> Anyone here use Openbox?
[19:30] <quizme> oerheks: is there a way to make an icon for that? it looks kind of ugly
[19:30] <harmus> scubes13, remove the package via apt-get , and download an older package
[19:30] <dean> well Guest36740 I was at raw saturday just gone
[19:31] <scubes13> harmus: how do i determine what older packages are out there?
[19:31] <OerHeks> quizme look in preferences, it should be available as a standard button in cairo dock
[19:31] <harmus> scubes13, depens on the piece of software you're having problems with
[19:31] <brianBTB> is there a way to launch ubuntu in txt only/low ram mode?
[19:31] <scubes13> harmus: looks to be krb5-user
[19:32] <quizme> oerheks: i have a logout applet, but there is no options for logging out..... only for shutting down, hibernating, sleeping, etc.
[19:32] <xrdodrx> !anyone | Connor_
[19:32] <Connor_> xrdodrx because I was just wondering if anyone uses it...
[19:32] <quizme> oerheks: it's even called "logout" but it doesn't do as advertised.
[19:32] <harmus> brianBTB, you can add 'text' in grub after pressing ctrl+c (i think it was text)
[19:32] <brianBTB> just a moment ago i tried to launch dolphin again and it actiually showed a spinning ring, which is the loading screen of SATSR, for about half a second. then same black screen
[19:32] <OerHeks> quizme my mistake, logging out <> shutdown
[19:33] <brianBTB> maybe not enough ram?
[19:33] <brianBTB> grub?
[19:33] <Guest36740> dean, yes its really not ubuntu related  question..sorry
[19:33] <Devilz_108> Again please any PC hardware engineer?
[19:33] <quizme> oerheks it's such a retarded buttton.  Why call it logout if it doesn't logout?
[19:33] <harmus> scubes13, you can find the packages on launchpad
[19:33] <OerHeks> quizme, middle click on the Logout applet to get the “log-out” window ?
[19:34] <brianBTB> ctrl-c at the os selection screen?
[19:34] <facepunch> How can I find out where a command is running from in Ubuntu.?    I want to find where  'gem' is being ran from.  I tried   'find gem' and nothing shows up, but the command 'gem' works so it has to exist somewhere
[19:34] <quizme> oerhek: fuck..... you're right.
[19:34] <steve> does anyone know how to change the login background
[19:34] <Guest36740> Devilz_108, i know something.
[19:34] <ki9a> anyone know how to enable a bluetooth keyboard before login instead of after?
[19:34] <OerHeks> quizme,  have fun :-)
[19:34] <brianBTB> and would txt mode save ram?
[19:34] <mosquito> steve=ubuuntu tweak
[19:34] <harmus> facepunch, it is in /usr/bin probably
[19:34] <brianBTB> just a moment ago i tried to launch dolphin again and it actiually showed a spinning ring, which is the loading screen of SATSR, for about half a second. then same black screen
[19:34] <quizme> oerheks i think this is the first time i used my middle click button (which simultaneously acts as a scroller)
[19:34] <brianBTB> and would txt mode save ram?
[19:34] <brianBTB> sorry didnt meen to spa,
[19:35] <quizme> oerheks: thanks and i would like to say "fuck off" to the people who made that retarded interface.
[19:35] <harmus> brianBTB, yes
[19:35] <brianBTB> lol
[19:35] <steve> thanks mosquito
[19:35] <mosquito> Hi, I love ubuntu but I cannot use any application in wine could someone help me.
[19:35] <brianBTB> ok... would i be able to run dolphin from txt mode?
[19:35] <mosquito> You are welcome
[19:35] <harmus> brianBTB, i don't know about that, depends on what dolphin is depending...
[19:35] <steve> what kind of win apps are you trying to run?
[19:35] <brianBTB> many applications do not run in wine. use winetricks. cant remember what terminal commands
[19:35] <AJenbo> Hi, some thing is grabbing the mouse om my dads computer, how do i detect what is causing this?
[19:35] <scubes13> harmus: once I know what version I need, what is the apt-get command to install that specific version? or do I need to do this a different way
[19:35] <OerHeks> quizme, i like AWM avant window manager as a dock
[19:36] <brianBTB> sh winetricks
[19:36] <brianBTB> use that
[19:36] <AJenbo> When i open a program that needs gksu i get the following warning
[19:36] <harmus> scubes13, install it via .deb, you can download them from launchpad
[19:36] <AJenbo> "A malicious client may be eavesdropping on your session"
[19:36] <scubes13> harmus: thanks so much!
[19:36] <scubes13> giving it a shot now
[19:36] <AJenbo> and i can't click on any thing with the mouse
[19:36] <facepunch> what is the best way to uninstall  'gem'   from   /usr/bin/  ?    just delete it ?
[19:36] <harmus> scubes13,  np
[19:36] <OerHeks> !awm
[19:36] <facepunch> i want to upgrade to a newer version but this one keeps running
[19:36] <harmus> scubes13, first remove old package with apt-get remove
[19:36] <brianBTB> dependancies... that may be the issue. how can i find them and/or install them?
[19:37] <brianBTB> harmus, thnx btw.
[19:37] <brianBTB> dependancies... that may be the issue. how can i find them and/or install them?
[19:37] <brianBTB> my system has an echo due to recursivity in network btw

[19:37] <amarcolino> hi anyone knows which file(s) I need to edit to stop certain services, programs from logging to syslog i.e. I would like ufw to log only to /var/log/ufw instead of syslog and kern
[19:38] <brianBTB> is my flood over?
[19:38] <harmus> mosquito, you can also try playonlinux, check appdb if you're piece of software will actually run on wine
[19:38] <brianBTB> cause i was trying to say my pc echos what I say sometimes. custom network still has glitches
[19:38] <brianBTB> custom built
[19:39] <mosquito> Thank you for your fast answer.What I mean is that  since my new installation of ubuntu  , no apps work at all and they were working with previous releases [and they work in ubuntu  live cd] . I already desinstalled and whipped .wine but nothing works.
[19:39] <brianBTB> hello?
[19:39] <mosquito> I'm talking exe application that are oppened with wine normally [i.e in the live cd] and which does not work in my system.Wine is loaded but then it stops suddenly.
[19:39] <brianBTB> use sh winetricks
[19:40] <harmus> mosquito, maybe try an older wine then
[19:40] <LuHe> is it possible to switch from the nouveau to the binary nvidia driver - without - rebooting?
[19:40] <brianBTB> can someone tell me if i am muted??
[19:40] <harmus> mosquito, with playonlinux you can use a different wine version for each program
[19:40] <steve> you are trying to run windows apps with wine right?
[19:40] <ZykoticK9> brianBTB, we read you
[19:40] <brianBTB> thnx
[19:40] <goltoof> brianBTB, copy
[19:41] <mosquito> yes
[19:41] <harmus> brianBTB, you can run dpkg --info package.deb to see the dependancies
[19:41] <LuHe> why can't I simply unload the nouveau module using rmmod nouveau?
[19:42] <LuHe> (X is already killed)
[19:42] <cylob> hey anyone know how i extract rar files?
[19:42] <mosquito> I am using wine, wine1.2 gecko and wine wine 1.2
[19:42] <Pici> !rar | cylob
[19:42] <brianBTB> why dp some people show up as gold names?
[19:42] <cylob> thnx
[19:42] <brianBTB> dpkg-deb: failed to read archive `package.deb': No such file or directory
[19:42] <mosquito> I tried installing wine from lucid realease as it work but even the lucid wine version does not work.
[19:43] <harmus> brianBTB, replace package.deb with the name of the dolphin package
[19:43] <brianBTB> why is your name gold sometimes, harmus? I am new to xCHat
[19:43] <brianBTB> xChat sorry
[19:44] <mosquito> As with the live cd it works is it posibble to copy settings from it,if yes where must I change the wine settings.
[19:44] <brianBTB> where is package name? all i do is type sudo dolphin-emu in terminal...
[19:44] <harmus> brianBTB, i'm not sure, maybe it is set to give a different color if I'm talking to you?
[19:44] <steve> ubuntu tweak rocks!
[19:45] <brianBTB> are you like... pming me or somethin, harmus?
[19:46] <Pici> brianBTB: How did you install dolphin-emu ?
[19:46] <brianBTB> Pici, hang on a sec
[19:47] <cylob> i installed unrar-free but its not working, maybe because its a multipart rar?
[19:47] <brianBTB> just unrar the .rar not the .r00, or .r01
[19:47] <Pici> cylob: Probably. unrar-free doesn't support them.

[20:01] <brianBTB> or how to modify your card settings
[20:01] <brianBTB> hxcjonnysniper, there is an app for that.
[20:01] <ikonia> spope: so ? the cron environment is different and needs to be set out explictly

[20:04] <ikonia> scubes13: what are you trying to do and why
[20:05] <brianBTB> harmus, thanks.
[20:06] <scubes13> ikonia: using current version of krb5 (1.8.1...) I am getting errors when trying to connect to an ADS..... looked up bug report on web and it is stated that by going to version 1.6 the user was able to connect.... was trying to roll my krb5 "stuff" back to that version....
[20:06] <spope> ikonia, well this script used to work just fine, stopped working while others continue to work... do you have ideas on diagnosing it, or is the best answer that it coule be lots of things.

[20:07] <scubes13> ikonia: ok.... ,deb is coming from launchpad

[20:08] <ikonia> scubes13: what version of ubuntu are you using
[20:08] <brianBTB> some sites said to run SATSR on dolphin emu they need to set their graphics car too "Let the 3d application chose."

[20:10] <brianBTB> harmus, huh???
[20:10] <brianBTB> harmus, google what?
[20:10] <ikonia> scubes13: first, downgrading is not the answer, packages are linked against that package, so changing it will break others
[20:11] <hxcjonnysniper> file system b?
[20:11] <ikonia> scubes13: second - log a bug in launchpad and then look at following that bug up with comments and in #ubuntu-bugs

[20:15] <Lukiz> ?
[20:15] <axle3d> quick question in irc, how do i /part from a /query to someone
[20:15] <aeon-ltd> rhalff: no theres not even a alpha release yet, you would probably only get nightlies if you were part of canonical
[20:15] <brianBTB> everyone, sorry.
[20:15] <ikonia> Lukiz: easy on the language please
[20:15] <brianBTB> bye
[20:15] <e01> is it possible to connect remotely in X11 session like vnc or radmin
[20:16] <Lukiz> sorry
[20:16] <gamerpro2000> leprechau, not really an option, since I have 20 computers with 4 ati cards per computer
[20:16] <Lukiz> something is wrong
[20:17] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: what do you want from us ?
[20:17] <rhalff> aeon-ltd: ok thanks, saw some development going on for a gma500 graphic card with a 2.6.36 kernel, I only need a very basic X, so testing or unstable is not the same as natty then I guess.
[20:17] <gamerpro2000> ikonia, I would ust like a bit of help to eliminate the segmentation fault.  I've been screaming for help for over two months
[20:17] <Eighteens> I was trying to minimize on questions to #ubuntu, so i googled what i was looking for, which was a ubuntu book, I was led to amazon, now with all the choices, I must ask, which of the many is the best? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
[20:17] <gamerpro2000> bug reports, forums, irc, etc
[20:17] <Lukiz> i'm borred :<

[20:18] <anygivenname> how do I enable USB ports for Virtual Box?
[20:18] <gamerpro2000> Is there anyone that can read a backtrace and understand it in here?
[20:18] <leprechau> gamerpro2000, man...it's kind of the job of a sysadmin to check HCL before rolling out 80 gfx cards with poor support
[20:18] <aeon-ltd> rhalff: if you want new kernels just compile them with the modules you want, or use a more 'bleeding edge' distro
[20:18] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: yes, but even if I do, it's not going to "fix" it
[20:18] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: you need to log a bug, and wait for it to be progressed, talking in here isn't going to get a patch released
[20:18] <rhalff> aeon-ltd: yeah, ok thanks :-)
[20:18] <Magnum> The masters are with you
[20:18] <gamerpro2000> leprechau, wasn't my choice to use these cards.  i would have used NVidia cards
[20:19] <gamerpro2000> I'm the NEW sysadmin
[20:19] <brianBTB> harmus, that info is outdated. it says that there might be support on some cards
[20:19] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: ok, so you need to progress the bug
[20:19] <brianBTB> and very sorry for the language
[20:19] <gamerpro2000> progress the bug?  What do you mean exactly?
[20:19] <leprechau> gamerpro2000, then escalate upstream or budget for some repalacement cards ... I see your bug ... have you tried compiling the latest drivers manually from source?
[20:19] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: well, log a bug, provide feed back in it, work with the package maintainers
[20:20] <tomtomgalore12> i get crazy
[20:20] <brianBTB> harmus, why does it sometimes show me the loading screen briefly before black screen?
[20:20] <gamerpro2000> leprechau, I didn't realize the released and current sourced versions were different atm

[20:20] <tripps> what's the direct link to 64 bit server 10.10 edition suitable for wget-ting? I hate they only show a button to download and don't show the direct link - how unlinux-like ;-) I'm looking for the iso
[20:20] <Lars___> Hi! Can someone help me? I upgraded to 9.10 yesterday and I think I messed up GRUB or something else http://paste.ubuntu.com/530227/
[20:20] <Magnum> brianBTB: Language is nothing to feel sorry about. You are a king or a queen amongst the best.
[20:20] <leprechau> gamerpro2000, there is always a more recent 'development' release
[20:20] <gamerpro2000> I imght sound frustrated, but that's just because my face is sore from slamming it against a keyboard for two months
[20:20] <leprechau> gamerpro2000, ie, the projects git or svn trunk code
[20:20] <blakkheim> tripps: ubuntu itself is very unlinux-like
[20:20] <tomtomgalore12> :-D
[20:20] <gamerpro2000> I'll give it a shot.  Is there a dev version of X.Org I can try as well?
[20:21] <tripps> blakkheim, heh. well the server less so. hey it's debian with some cool stuff thrown in :)
[20:21] <brianBTB> Magnum, ok... queen amongst the best?
[20:21] <MikeChelen> tripps: try one of these mirrors http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#mirrors
[20:21] <Magnum> tomtomgalore12; GaduGaduh
[20:21] <gamerpro2000> or is that the latest version of X.Org?
[20:21] <leprechau> gamerpro2000, absolutely you can ... but probably just the gfx driver is all you would need
[20:21] <brianBTB> Magnum, ok... king or queen amongst the best?
[20:21] <tomtomgalore12> I need help for a scanner :'(
[20:21] <gamerpro2000> gfx or radeon?
[20:21] <ikonia> Lars___: it won't be a grub problem as it's booted, but as we can't access it by ssh - we can't diagnose anything
[20:21] <brianBTB> magnum, what do you mean?
[20:21] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: you don't want to be changing xorg versions
[20:21] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: you want to be progressing the bug
[20:21] <gamerpro2000> Cuz I use the radeon driver
[20:21] <Magnum> brianBTB: I know you wanted "BVetween the brest" :)
[20:21] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: someone else was in early with the same problem exactly
[20:21] <leprechau> gamerpro2000, release versions are always behind development 'current' code ... that's just the project lifecycle
[20:22] <brianBTB> lol
[20:22] <Magnum> :)
[20:22] <brianBTB> magnum, lol
[20:22] <Magnum> Taken friend
[20:22] <MikeChelen> anyone know how to monitor CPU temperature from the live cd?
[20:22] <gamerpro2000> ikonia, leprechau thank you guys a lot :)
[20:22] <brianBTB> harmus, why does it sometimes show me the loading screen briefly before black screen?
[20:22] <ikonia> MikeChelen: lmsensors
[20:22] <tomtomgalore12> ...mmh
[20:22] <tomtomgalore12> O:-)
[20:22] <Lars___> ikonia: So if GRUB would be bad it would register that it is off via IPMI panel?
[20:23] <ikonia> Lars___: if grub was bad, the machine would not boot (I don't know what the IPMI panel is)
[20:23] <tripps> MikeChelen, cool thanks!
[20:23] <MikeChelen> ikonia: ok thanks let me look up the docs for that
[20:23] <ikonia> MikeChelen: lm_sensors to be exact
[20:23] <Magnum> Lars___: Does it matter ?
[20:23] <leprechau> gamerpro2000, you could also try the proprietary frglx drivers instead of the open xorg drivers
[20:24] <gamerpro2000> leprechau, I tried them.  They worked, but had other more serious issues
[20:24] <Lars___> Magnum: Does what matter?
[20:24] <MikeChelen> tripps: guess the webpage tries to auto redirect people to a mirror, instead of making them choose
[20:24] <gamerpro2000> like random session death and such
[20:24] <Rickardo1> How do I list installed packages,, I need the package name to remove a package.

[20:24] <gamerpro2000> *udev
[20:24] <Magnum> Lars___: You shall explain you thoughts and elaborate.
[20:24] <tripps> MikeChelen, roger that. I figured as much.
[20:24] <MikeChelen> ikonia: any idea what the package name is? sudo apt-get install lm_sensors doesn't work
[20:25] <ikonia> MikeChelen: search with the package manager
[20:25] <leprechau> Rickardo1, dpkq-query -l|grep junk
[20:25] <skyscraper> i need help on "can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs " (xubuntu 10.10 amd64 on usb pendrive)
[20:25] <MikeChelen> tripps: if you're using firefox once the download starts you can copy the actual download url from the download manager
[20:25] <Lars___> ikonia: The IPMI is just a way to control the servers power remotly, i woudl guess that if the power is on it registers like on, I do not think it has any idea if the machine has booted ok or not.
[20:25] <ikonia> Lars___: then we can't help
[20:25] <tripps> MikeChelen, using chrome. obfuscates it a little bit
[20:26] <Magnum> skyscraper: mount -t looptrix ?
[20:26] <brianBTB> can anyone help me with my intel chipset, i thought i had ati radeon.
[20:26] <Magnum> :)
[20:26] <MikeChelen> ikonia: it found collectd-core, wmgtemp, and wmtemp
[20:26] <Lars___> ikonia: So my option is to take a boot cd with me and try locally.
[20:26] <skyscraper> Magnum: i have to reboot to test it
[20:26] <ikonia> Lars___: at least read what the error is on the screen
[20:26] <ikonia> Lars___: if you can't login to it, can't see the screen and can't get any error, what are we meant to work on ?
[20:26] <Magnum> Lars___: All the options are blongs to you.
[20:26] <MikeChelen> tripps: yeah then it is harder to find. there might be some download addons for chrome that would help
[20:26] <skyscraper> Magnum: are you sure that that will help?
[20:27] <brianBTB> so, dolphin will never work on my computer?
[20:27] <Lars___> ikonia: thanks for your help anyway, just thought I would ask
[20:27] <gamerpro2000> Where do I find the source for GLX to compile?
[20:27] <Magnum> skyscraper: Im the skye master
[20:27] <Guest36740> Rickardo1, what package are you trying to un-install
[20:27] <Rickardo1> mysql server
[20:27] <Rickardo1> but I solved it
[20:27] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: don't do it
[20:27] <brianBTB> just cause i have an bad card? i mean, on vista my card ran MW2 and HL2 just fine
[20:27] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: progress the bug with people who know what they are doing
[20:28] <Guest36740> Rickardo1, :) good then.
[20:28] <Magnum> skyscraper: Report on your progress.
[20:28] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: if you can't even find the source - your out of your league, progess the bug with people who understand it
[20:28] <AJenbo> when i start thundergird or firefox i can nolonger click with my mouse
[20:28] <MikeChelen> ikonia: reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto now
[20:28] <gamerpro2000> ikonia, how do I progress a bug report?
[20:28] <AJenbo> please advice
[20:28] <mmoebius> Hi, I installed ubuntu nettop-remix on an Asus eeePC, but I find the clutter desktopy annoying. How do I get back to a "standard" gnome interface ? Can I switch between the two easily ?
[20:28] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: as I told you earlier, log the bug, pass notes on it, chase the bug owner, find the package maintainers, push them to put a fix in place, get it filtered down the chain
[20:28] <Eighteens> i sure would like ubuntu on my phone, i've read a few pages of documentation, from others claiming they have done it, however i have to ask, "has anyone in here done it and willing to help me do it on my droid X"
[20:29] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: a seg fault is not going to get fixed over night
[20:29] <ikonia> gamerpro2000: accept it, push the bug hard and work on it
[20:29] <AJenbo> mmoebius, yes on the login screen, there is a option box at the bottom for witch you wan to use
[20:29] <gamerpro2000> ikonia, appreciated.  Thank you.
[20:29] <Guest36740> AJenbo, restart can fix many problems at times.. :)
[20:29] <gunther44> what cli tool can i use to extract basic ttf data, like font name, and weight?
[20:29] <rhalff> aeon-ltd: seems that I can just debootstrap natty
[20:30] <AJenbo> Guest36740, restart does not fix this
[20:30] <AJenbo> i would like to go on the net, just one in a while but still
[20:30] <rhalff> mmoebius: that eeepc has a gma500 intel card ?
[20:30] <AJenbo> closing firefox does not help
[20:31] <mmoebius> AJenbo: I just tried, at the ölogin screen there is just "mmoebius" (clickable to login) "other" (enter another user name; there is none and the clock and disabled-people help and a Shutdown button
[20:31] <Guest36740> AJenbo, ubuntu is mouse oriented..you should not have the problem..
[20:31] <mmoebius> AJenbo: It's Ubuntu 10.04.1, I forgot to say
[20:31] <Rickardo1> How do I remove the complete installation of mysql.. including the database of users.
[20:31] <mmoebius> rhalff: just a second
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> Guest36740: not strictly mouse oriented
[20:31] <mmoebius> AJenbo: nvm , I think,  I found it
[20:32] <AJenbo> Guest36740, yes that is why i came here asking for help on solving it
[20:32] <brianBTB> can i get directx 9 on ubuntu? my card doent support opengl
[20:32] <Guest36740> ActionParsnip, yeh.. not strictly indeed.. :)
[20:32] <Magnum> ikonia: To be fair, some of the redhat morons will cann your/my coding skills "Youre an idiot and you cant code for shit". Lets see what idiots those where: ... Blanc ... But what is important it is that things works as specified
[20:32] <iceroot> brianBTB: every card which supports directx also supports opengl
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> Rickardo1: i'd ask in #sql about the user/dbs then remove the package/s for sql as normal
[20:33] <AJenbo> Guest36740, but some thing in firefox/thunderbird is capturing my mouse
[20:33] <brianBTB> iceroot, Any Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) Chipset (These cards do not support OpenGL 2.x fully)
[20:33] <iceroot> brianBTB: hm, i am using that card with opengl here
[20:34] <AJenbo> Guest36740, and it's not isolated to one user
[20:34] <brianBTB> ...
[20:34] <AJenbo> it has been like this for a few days now
[20:34] <iceroot> brianBTB: you can install directx 9 with winetricks but only windows-games will use directx9 and not very performant
[20:34] <brianBTB> iceroot, the reason I cant run dolphin is because of open gl
[20:34] <brianBTB> ...
[20:35] <iceroot> brianBTB: of course you can use dolphin with intel cards, that is not a hardware problem
[20:35] <Guest36740> AJenbo, could be mouse at fault..try changing it..or pick additional one.. (cat could be after it) :)
[20:35] <mmoebius> rhalff: this eeepc (1005PN iirc) has got an nvidia ION
[20:35] <AJenbo> Guest36740, it's not i used vnc an have the same issue
[20:35] <brianBTB> ...
[20:36] <brianBTB> iceroot, can you help then?
[20:36] <rhalff> mmoebius: hm ok much better, trying to get an archos 9 to work, with an intel gma500 card, it's hard.. :-)
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> AJenbo: or make an xorg.conf with 1 section defining the video driver then use SWcursor "true" ,if its bad try HWcursor "true"
[20:36] <AJenbo> the mouse works perfectly until i start thunderbird/firefox, if the hardware can feel a difference to what app i running it's a very inteligent but shitty mouse

[20:37] <yacc> Wondering, what's the best remote client for an Ubuntu desktop? X11 alone does not capture sound, so X :0 -query server does not work that great, especially as Windows X11 Servers tend to have different extensions available compared to Xorg, ...
[20:37] <iceroot> brianBTB: and dolphin is reporting what error?
[20:37] <peppo> just upgraded to 10.10 from .04, and alt+middle mouse button window resize combination is switched. how can I change it back? looked around with gconf-editor in metacity...
[20:37] <AJenbo> ActionParsnip, that controles the drawing of the mouse, it's not a drawing issue but an issue of clicking, i can move the mouse perfectly fine
[20:37] <Magnum> I can give you this ultimate knowledge my friends: http://mange.dynalias.org/linux/misc/Last%20Steges%20of%20Delirium.ppt
[20:37] <AJenbo> when running gksu i reports that some thing is grapping the mouse
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> AJenbo: ahhhh I see
[20:38] <brianBTB> iceroot, none. and you know i mean dolphin emulator right? it just gives black screen
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> AJenbo: are you using compiz?
[20:38] <brianBTB> iceroot, dolphin wii emulator
[20:38] <Magnum> Dont worry sirs, they are highly skilled
[20:39] <AJenbo> ActionParsnip, the issue is the same with metacity and compiz
[20:39] <brianBTB> going afk
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> AJenbo: hmm
[20:39] <brianBTB> back
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> AJenbo: tried a different browser to see if its only firefox?
[20:39] <Ek1_> how does one change mouse wheel scroll settings? [ubuntu lucid]
[20:39] <AJenbo> ActionParsnip, i think i might have installed some thing in firefox that is sniffing his mouse
[20:40] <iceroot> brianBTB: ah i thought the kde-file-browser
[20:40] <brianBTB> iceroot, fine
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> AJenbo: ok then try: firefox -safe-mode ,this will disable all addons and plugins
[20:40] <brianBTB> iceroot, lol
[20:40] <AJenbo> ActionParsnip, it also affects thunderbird, i might be able to make him switch away from firefox but not thunderbird
[20:41] <Guest36740> AJenbo, mouse is lagging..that it.. tell us that. :)
[20:41] <brianBTB> can i get directx 9 on ubuntu? my card doent support opengl
[20:41] <brianBTB> actually, i need help with my intell chipset.
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> AJenbo: if its a plugin then it won't run then it will act ok then you can start hauling addons out
[20:41] <AJenbo> Guest36740, it runs prefectly mooth
[20:41] <Magnum> Guest36740: Now.. If your mouse is lagging, wouldnt be a problem of the dick sir ? :)

[20:44] <Sabri> !es | sadman2012

[20:45] <Jacen> anyone know what I can do?
[20:45] <AJenbo> ActionParsnip, i considered it, but it's strange that it dosn't happen when using solitare and also happes with a different user
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Jacen: i'd test ram
[20:45] <Guest36740> Sabri, don't worry about it just install it.. ;)
[20:45] <Jacen> how so?
[20:45] <Legato> what will be if i change file permissions to 777 on all files except /bin/? they will still work?
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> AJenbo: yes but if the user uses the same de/wm it may be causing the issue
[20:46] <Magnum> nico: You look as sexxi as a pair of goats trying to mate whilst eating a pair of pancakes and barfing up hay.
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> Jacen: reboot, hold shift, select memtest
[20:46] <Jacen> ok. Thank you. I'll try that and if it doesnt work I'll be back
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> AJenbo: if you install xfce4, log off and logon to xfce it may help
[20:46] <LjL> Magnum: uhm. please.
[20:47] <Magnum> LjL: I know this retard from before
[20:47] <Guest36740> Magnum, not a cartoon network.. :)
[20:47] <LjL> Magnum: well he hasn't said a word here, that i can see, so if you have a problem with him you can take that to PM. here is not the place
[20:47] <Sabri> Guest36740: Please shut up.  The updater REFUSES to install it.  Know what you're talking about.
[20:48] <Magnum> LjL: I prior indication is well enough, carry on.
[20:48] <lapion> magnum but don't PM without asking for permission..
[20:49] <Magnum> eh ?
[20:49] <Guest36740> Sabri, yes..mem.. :) !!
[20:49] <lapion> I was referring to what LjL said....

[20:50] <fannymac> I want to install utorrent using wine, but it does not work.  it tried to open with wine windows prg loadr, but it says 'is not marked as executable'.

[20:52] <hiexpo> i  have a failing usn hard drive how can i recover the data from it
[20:52] <burlala> can i ask about kde4??
[20:52] <ks3> xamox, grep

[20:53] <LjL> burlala: #kubuntu might be better suited for questions about it, but yes
[20:53] <Magnum> Sabri: the name seens a bit gay. Ok, Play with it.
[20:53] <xamox> ks3, maybe I should have specified. I don't know what file it is in either just the directory.
[20:53] <lock> why do you think that ubuntu created kubuntu instead of just letting you install KDE in addition to gnome?
[20:53] <LjL> lock: but it does let you install KDE in addition to GNOME.
[20:53] <lock> *canonical created kubuntu
[20:53] <lock> ???
[20:54] <LjL> lock: the Kubuntu CD is just a different selection of packages.
[20:54] <Magnum> kubutubu :)
[20:54] <ks3> xamox, grep "search string" /dir/path/*
[20:54] <maco> lock: cuz having to install a gnome desktop before you can install kde wouild be annoying?

[20:59] <ks3> EagleScreen, If you create a partition image you should be able to mount it that way. I don't know that it will work with a whole disk image.
[20:59] <xamox> ks3, Ahh, thanks, my problem is i was using grep 'term' ./ instead of grep 'term' .

[20:59] <allan__> Hey, I am using Lubuntu 10.10, and my dock is sketching out pretty bad. things keep moving when they aren't supposed to be
[21:00] <tensorpudding> you can't even query packages.ubuntu.com with "GNU R"
[21:00] <brianBTB> huh?

[21:01] <Guest36740> deluge 100%
[21:01] <MikeChelen> allan__: try #lubuntu

[21:02] <gunther44> are there any commandline ttf data tools i can use to extract basic font data?
[21:02] <Pici> tensorpudding: actually it looks like: apt-cache search "^r-"  will work.
[21:02] <leprechau> fannymac, that's what you want ... that ppa has the lastest stable that's not in base repo
[21:02] <lapion> sorry brianBTB that was something to do with fannymac

[21:03] <allan__> MikeChelen; thanks
[21:04] <joe_85> Why is 10.04 followed by LTS but 10.10 is not?
[21:04] <tensorpudding> because 10.04 is an LTS release, and 10.10 is not
[21:04] <leprechau> 10.10 is not a long term support release
[21:04] <tensorpudding> !lts | joe_85
[21:04] <tensorpudding> LTS releases only come on even-numbered years's, in the spring
[21:04] <joe_85> So 10.10 will not be supported as long as 10.04
[21:04] <joe_85> ?
[21:04] <evident> can anybody tell me how I can open a terminal, ie x-terminal-emulator and start alsamixer in it in one command? It should be put to a key binding and should then open a terminal window and open alsamixer
[21:05] <Jacen> When I try to boot into 10.04 after installation I get  the error codes : Point to BIT loadval table invalid, DCB I2C entry invalid, PCIE Bus Error" severity = uncorrected...  Any idea what I can do?
[21:05] <tensorpudding> the LTS releases thusfar have been 6.06 Dapper Drake, 8.04 Hardy Heron, and 10.04 Lucid Lynx
[21:05] <ilazy> hello
[21:05] <Cube``> MikeChelen: same problem :/
[21:05] <Guest36740> bye guys have nice weekend.. :)
[21:05] <BIGBAMBU> hi guys
[21:05] <joe_85> ah okay, so just because it is not LTS I shouldn't hold off from upgrading?
[21:05] <tim> Hi all.  I am about two months new to Ubuntu.  Can someone tell me were I can go to get some help with ddrescue?
[21:06] <Viktor_GEGN> Does anyone know why new Ubuntu installations can't decrypt encrypted partitions from a prior UBuntu installation?  Keeps telling me the passphrase is bad but I've entered this passphrase probably 75 times this year.. it's not wrong.
[21:06] <ilazy> Euph0ria: wiki
[21:06] <erUSUL> evident: x-terminal-emulator -e 'alsamixer'
[21:06] <tensorpudding> joe_85: lucid lynx will get old and out-of-date, but it will still receive security updates, etc.
[21:07] <yacc> joe_85, it's simple, if you value "install and maintain for a long time" over "always the newest toys", go for the LTS. If you have a normal private desktop, LTS is usually not really that relevant.
[21:07] <brianBTB> fack this, imma quit trying to get dolphin emu to work.
[21:07] <Euph0ria74> Well, wiki's haven't helped when it came right down to trying to use it in the terminal to save an image of my corrupt SD card...
[21:07] <Jacen> can anyone help me with m problem?
[21:07] <Euph0ria74> I guess I'm not familiar with the terminal commands perhaps?
[21:08] <evident> erUSUL: thank you! works fine!1
[21:08] <brianBTB> bye
[21:08] <yacc> joe_85, servers in an enterprise environment are usually meant to run as long as possible without upgrading/reinstalling, this way a "running system" does not need to be touched and does not generate costs on top of normal maintenance.
[21:08] <joe_85> ah okay makes sense
[21:08] <MikeChelen> Cube``: if you can find what package its in, could try apt-get uninstall --purge though it might erase other settings
[21:08] <cpruitt> First time installing Ubuntu (VMWare guest on OS X host system).  Installed Ubuntu Server 10.4.1.  Ubuntu in the VM seems to have no IP address assigned, no matter what type of VMWare networking option I choose.  Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to troubleshoot this?  I'm completely lost.
[21:09] <Euph0ria74> I've downloaded and installed gddrescue, I've got the memory card and it seems to be mounted as /dev/sdb1
[21:10] <Euph0ria74> I've tried using 'ddrescue /dev/sdb1 16GSD.dd 16GSD.log'
[21:10] <guntbert> cpruitt: if I remember correctly server doesn't act as dhcpclient by default   (btw there is a channel #ubuntu-server too :-))
[21:10] <Euph0ria74> but it tells me drescue: cannot open input file: Permission denied
[21:11] <erUSUL> Euph0ria74: use sudo to be able to access the /dev/sdb1
[21:11] <cpruitt> guntbert: Thanks for both tips.  I'll jump over there.
[21:12] <Euph0ria74> I guess I'm not sure how to use sudo. :/
[21:12] <guntbert> cpruitt: :-)

[21:12] <Chaser> was installing texmacs on 10.10, says failed dependencies ... now when ever there are updates through synaptic I get the errors.
[21:12] <IanWizard> I just set up ubuntu one on my Evo 4g (and subscribed), and my phone's not in the list, so I can't log in.  I tried setting the phone model to Nexus One, but the app sends the model number in the request, and it doesn't work without it.  How can I get my phone working?

[21:12] <bdukes> I just tried to install 10.10 Netbook on a Dell laptop, and I'm getting a blinking cursor after rebooting.  I can't get into GRUB by holding/hitting shift.  Any ideas?
[21:13] <lock> :)
[21:13] <Jacen> I'm having the same problem bdikes
[21:13] <Jacen> bdukes*
[21:13] <IanWizard> bdukes: you need to make sure that your boot device is set properly in your BIOS
[21:14] <hellphyre> whats up people
[21:14] <IanWizard> bdukes: if it is, then you may need to go in and reinstall grub by hand (or the whole OS, which ever is easier for you)
[21:14] <Viktor_GEGN> I figured it out, in case anyone cares.. new installation needed to have cryptsetup and/or cryptmount installed.  I thought they came installed by default.
[21:14] <Euph0ria74> Ty erUSUL.  Seems simple enough.  I'll give it a shot.
[21:15] <guntbert> lock: there is something wrong in your statement (no need for a root password)
[21:15] <lock> it is for the first time you run sudo within the terminal
[21:15] <Euph0ria74> looks like that did the trick.  It seems to be working!  ty!
[21:15] <lock> as far as my experience is concerned
[21:16] <hellphyre> so im trying to test drive Ubuntu 10 from a live cd but its hanging on the welcome screen after i hit the try button. Any ideas?
[21:16] <bdukes> I only have one HDD, and it's first in the boot order.  Is there anything else that could be wrong in BIOS?  Or is uninstall best bet?
[21:16] <guntbert> !who | lock
[21:16] <guntbert> lock: that is wrong - you are asked for your *own* password
[21:16] <IanWizard> hellphyre: it does that sometimes, give it 30 sec or so, if it still doesn't work, then try making a new disk
[21:17] <lock> aha, figures...they are the same :)....single user computer
[21:17] <lock> * :)
[21:17] <hellphyre> IanWizard: its an iso from the website. not sure why another disc would be any different.
[21:18] <IanWizard> lock: if you're on Ubuntu, then the root password is random, and you only ever use your password, they are not the same unless you changed root by hand
[21:18] <hellphyre> IanWizard: its been 15 minutes... my 30 seconds are long past lol
[21:18] <lock> i set the root pw
[21:18] <IanWizard> hellphyre: the first disk could be defective, I just meant try reburning it.

[21:20] <brianBTB> The program 'dolphin-emu' received an X Window System error.
[21:20] <brianBTB> This probably reflects a bug in the program.
[21:20] <brianBTB> The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.

[21:21] <guntbert> lock: indeed, but you told someone they woulld have to use the root password with sudo
[21:21] <IanWizard> [thor]: yes, it's swearing, but it's not inappropriate language, that's why we use the acronyms :D
[21:22] <IanWizard> but I digress
[21:22] <d4rkmt7r> SOlved:yup, will come up in default config
[21:22] <hellphyre> IanWizard: reboot did the trick, its loading now
[21:22] <cheby> guntbert: it's a common mistake, let it go. he was thinking of su in another distro
[21:22] <cheby> obviously

[21:23] <d4rkmt7r> Solved: you will have to alter the network config file, google ubuntu network
[21:23] <[thor]> IanWizard: you fail to see that it *is* inappropriate language, in that it references a curse word. the same would be true for simple letter replacement. as in this ex@mple.

[21:25] <Solved> d4rkmt7r: My kids are relatively smart, but do not comprehend terminal. Is there a command that will disable internet and not allow internet to be enabled until I give another command? (even if comp is reboot)
[21:25] <IanWizard> hellphyre: is that for or against Ubuntu?
[21:25] <goltoof> x0rs   ubuntu is by far the most plug and play user friendly distro out there... that's all
[21:25] <hellphyre> IanWizard:  for sir
[21:26] <brianBTB> bye
[21:26] <d4rkmt7r> Solved: the command I gave earlier is a superuser command, if they are just a normal user and don't know your passwd, this will work

[21:27] <quickstart> Is using Nautilus to copy files from a server a good alternative to using an FTP client?
[21:27] <hellphyre> IanWizard: im not against any distro, but some people have to realize that it takes time to configure the more complex distros. Just because i use any easy to config distro doesnt mean im a newb, it means im lazy. lol

[21:27] <goltoof> Eighteens,    yes it's bootable
[21:27] <IanWizard> hellphyre: I use it for the integration and the packages, and it is pretty quick and simple
[21:28] <Eighteens> goltoof thank you too
[21:28] <goltoof> anyone else using irssi ?

[21:31] <brianBTB> is anyone willing to help me with directx/open gl?
[21:31] <CodyG> i tried installing GIMP 2.7
[21:31] <brianBTB> i really want to run dolphin emulator, but my chipset doesnt work with it

[21:32] <strouthos> On my dual boot computer, Windows messed up so that when I would boot, grub would display "error: unknown filesystem". So I tried to install Grub again, but I still get the same error. Could this be because my main Linux partition, on which Grub is installed, is not my MBR and how could it be fixed?
[21:32] <brianBTB> it didnt quit
[21:32] <brianBTB> bye
[21:32] <horseatingweeds> I'm trying to download some files from a webserver. I tried using Nautilus, but after a few quick kb it just stops. Am I missing something?
[21:33] <strouthos> How can I change the MBR?
[21:33] <xorwhy> I have a Hybrid SDD hard drive. It has 4GB of non-volatile flash memory, and 500GB of space contained within the typical hard drive hardware. It uses its own firmware to move frequently used files to the flash.
[21:33] <xorwhy> I want to have gparted recognize the flash memory as a separate partition.
[21:33] <xorwhy> Is this possible?
[21:34] <Guest11034> So I used ecryptfs to unencrypt my filesystem after a fresh install -- Which turned out great: Except the tutorial that I was using didn't tell me about the filename unencryption so now I tried the process over again, but this time with the filename part too.. but now the filenames are still messed up
[21:34] <IanWizard> xorwhy: depends upon how they designed the hardware, but probably not.
[21:34] <AJenbo> ActionParsnip, same problems under unity
[21:34] <xorwhy> IanWizard: I kinda figured. The firmware is definitely proprietary, I'm guessing I'm at the mercy of seagate's devs.
[21:36] <IanWizard> xorwhy: if I where doing it (designing the drive) then I'd make it as transparent to the end-user, and software as possible.  I'd have it all done on the drive. (hardware based) which would make that impossible
[21:36] <wabz> yo, I'm running 10.10 on two laptops, plugged into the same model monitors. On one of them, the fonts are extremely blurry. The font settings are the same on each. What might be the cause of this?
[21:37] <zazuge> goltoof: yes
[21:37] <DrManhattan> wabz, magic gnomes
[21:37] <IanWizard> wabs: are they the same rez set on the comps?
[21:37] <zazuge> goltoof: yes i'm using irssi
[21:37] <wabz> IanWizard: yes, same res
[21:37] <goltoof> zazuge... any clue why i can't   /connect irc.freenode.net
[21:37] <goltoof> zazuge,    keeps timing out on me
[21:37] <xorwhy> IanWizard: Right, and that's how they did it. Previous drives required Windows based software to provide NAND functionality, but now it is completely firmware controlled. Glad the functionality works in Linux at least.
[21:37] <goltoof> fresh install
[21:37] <zazuge> goltoof: then what are you using now?
[21:38] <IanWizard> wabz: and do both comps support pushing that rez?  If so then IDK
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> wabz: could you print screen them to show us?
[21:38] <guntbert> horseatingweeds: why do you use nautilus?
[21:38] <wabz> IanWizard: one of them is using the nvidia driver, but I get the same even if it's deactivated
[21:38] <wabz> yeah I'll take screenshots
[21:38] <joe_85> after I edit     $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/applications.menu, how do I get the changes to take hold?

[21:40] <zazuge> goltoof: well well it's strange

[21:41] <zazuge> goltoof: I used /connect hubbard.freenode.net  and it worked too
[21:41] <viewer> is it possible to move your incoming and incomplete data folders for qbittorrent to another location in your file system (where you have more space), without having to re enter all your torrents?
[21:41] <jean_>  
[21:42] <goltoof> zazuge,    and that's all you need to do after you install to connect?   no other config before?
[21:42] <zazuge> goltoof: are you using a proxy?
[21:43] <goltoof> i got privoxy/tor running ... but how would that be interfering?
[21:43] <avis> can anyone suggest to me a one line  conky launch that would be optimial for both ubuntu and could simple be run as a one liner in startup programs ?
[21:43] <neil_d> I have a laptop... when I bring it out of hibernate, the nfs client doesn't connect to the server correctly... :( ... dmesg show numerous "nfs: server bigone.lan not responding, timed out" ... :( .... but I know that server is going, it is responding to pings... what can I do to fix this?
[21:43] <avis> does privoxy have any practical purpose outside of TOR ?
[21:43] <zazuge> goltoof: i edited my .irssi/config file
[21:43] <guntbert> viewer: I guess that depends on your torrent client - I never heard of qbittorrent though
[21:43] <goltoof> avis,     good question..   i just have it because it's required to make it work
[21:44] <zazuge> goltoof: but nothing major just added some servers and channels to autojoin
[21:44] <lock> guntbert: i researched what you said about default root (or lack thereof) and you were right, yet the strange thing is that i dont ever remember performing any specific tasks to gain root access
[21:44] <avis> i actually don't need tor.  i've got a portable tor that i keep if necessary, though i do believe it lacks privoxy.
[21:44] <goltoof> would tor prevent me from telnet out?  or is this a firewall issue?
[21:45] <IanWizard> viewer: symlink the old dest dir to the new dest dir, that should work.  Just be sure to stop torrent, and move them all to the new dest first.  then delete old dest, then link
[21:45] <lock> guntbert: im actually thinking it was at install time, but then again i may have without remembering
[21:45] <goltoof> avis,   i don't really need it either,  i only want it for irc.. privacy is nice
[21:45] <wabz> it might not be a font thing - in the screenshots, they both look fine on the good computer
[21:45] <IanWizard> goltoof: it shouldn't, but then neither should your firewall (if it's on your router) when you're using tor
[21:46] <zazuge> goltoof: see "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258582"
[21:46] <wabz> I need to take a photo of it somehow :p
[21:46] <aeon-ltd> wabz: its basic, but check the cables, and swap out if you can to test
[21:46] <guntbert> lock: as far as I know it has been this way for *years* - so you probably forgot it, but you really don't need the root password
[21:47] <viewer> IanWizard, sounds great! thanks,. i was about to do something similar setting the mount point to a hard drive in that exact space, but symlinks sound simpler
[21:47] <goltoof> zazuge,    i'm not getting banned though.. it just times out
[21:47] <guntbert> lock: look at Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo  to find how to get rid of it again if you want
[21:47] <lock> guntbert: yea i read that...strange...i would think that would be something i would remember
[21:48] <zazuge> goltoof: then check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=540830
[21:48] <zazuge> goltoof: you have to config your irssi to work behind proxy (you didn't answer me)
[21:49] <xslashxr> basically, if i allow curl on my web box, am i exposing danger to my server?
[21:49] <goltoof> zazuge,     the answer is idk  :)

[21:54] <hellphyre> vilhelm: cant you just reinstall python?
[21:55] <vilhelm> all the packages that depended on python was deemed useless and so they were uninstalled too
[21:55] <vilhelm> just installing python again won't get them back

[21:58] <lock> x0rs: haha i had to read it twice to catch on myself :)
[21:58] <zazuge> goltoof: the same symptoms are described her in this site http://pthree.org/2006/08/11/anonymity-and-freenode/
[21:58] <maginot> and /etc/init.d/<ssh-right-name> stop is enough.
[21:59] <avis> anyone here both a conky and gnome user and could offer me assistance through startup programs ?
[21:59] <pepee> maginot, well it's not working
[21:59] <zazuge> goltoof: maybe your not telling the truth or you don't know that you're behind a proxy
[21:59] <pepee> just try installing it...
[21:59] <maginot> bsmith093, try going to system preferencies, mouse preferences and enable touchpad... if its right configured must be there
[21:59] <pepee> is a bug
[21:59] <goltoof> zazuge,    feel dumb for asking.... how do i check if i'm behind a proxy?
[21:59] <pepee> another one...
[21:59] <maginot> pepee, I doubt it's not working. I believe you are doing wrong, like no being root
[21:59] <pepee> lol
[22:00] <pepee> # pkill sshd           # killall -9 sshd
[22:00] <bsmith093> maginot: i dont see enable touchpad in the mouse prefs
[22:00] <pepee> # start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet  --pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid             # /etc/init.d/ssh stop
[22:00] <xorwhy> bsmith093: I'm having the type of freeze that stops the mouse and everything
[22:00] <maginot> bsmith093, so maybe its possible to your touchpad driver is not correctly installed.
[22:00] <pepee> tried all that, the daemon is restarted
[22:00] <bsmith093> how do i check
[22:01] <zazuge> goltoof: if you can't ping 8.8.8.8 and you can browse then you're behind a proxy
[22:01] <maginot> pepee, what is the output of "ps aux | grep -i ssh" ?
[22:01] <maginot> !pastebin
[22:01] <zazuge> goltoof: use "echo $http_proxy"
[22:01] <OerHeks> pepee sudo /etc/init.d/sshd stop ?
[22:01] <pepee> maginot,   root      5941  0.0  0.0  49312  1128 ?        Ss   18:59   0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
[22:01] <hellphyre> bsmith093: check intalled drivers under additional drivers?
[22:01] <goltoof> zazuge,    nada
[22:02] <pepee> OerHeks, # /etc/init.d/sshd stop   it's the same...
[22:02] <zazuge> goltoof: check also system -> Pref -> proxy
[22:02] <pepee> the # means I'm running that command as root
[22:02] <maginot> pepee, try kill -9 5941
[22:02] <bsmith093> no additional drivers found
[22:03] <maginot> will restart?
[22:03] <pepee> maginot, I already did that, the daemon is just restarted
[22:03] <goltoof> zazuge,    nada,   direct connection
[22:03] <maginot> pepee, this must be thing of upstart
[22:03] <OerHeks> pepee try  sudo service ssh stop
[22:04] <pepee> service ssh stop  <- worked, thanks
[22:04] <zazuge> *crying*

[22:04] <pepee> btw anyone having problems with "suspend to RAM"?
[22:05] <zazuge> goltoof: i'm going to sleep i'm in GMT+1 timezone after all

[22:05] <maginot> pepee, well, I don't know about ubuntu, but on my distro I build the kernel with suspend2 (old tux on ice) and works pretty good =)
[22:05] <zazuge> goltoof: check on http://irssi.org/ website anyway
[22:06] <goltoof> zazuge,   yea i'll keep humpin away at it...  thanks for all ur help
[22:06] <pepee> I suppose is because of ATI drivers, or ath9k

[22:06] <maginot> bsmith093, let me see if I can find what is its driver here
[22:06] <maginot> pepee, that is possible,  I only use ndvidia =/
[22:07] <meowsus> Does anyone here have experience with acpi / acpi-support packages? I dont think mine are working correctly
[22:07] <zazuge> goltoof: and read http://pthree.org/2006/08/11/anonymity-and-freenode/ because i think it's your problem anyway

[22:09] <p0op-> Hello, when i ssh into my ubuntu file server from my ubuntu desktop and i try to vi a file, it hangs, yet when i do it from the same computer but booted up in windows, it works
[22:09] <maginot> bsmith093, looks to be a lot of things related to you computer model on google, did you take a look at this thread?
[22:09] <maginot> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=829525

[22:10] <ieri> Hello.  I'm back - finally got Ubuntu to work on my system (okay, actually I replaced the motherboard, processor and ram, so it's not exactly the same system, but whatever).  Now I have a question.  I have an NTFS drive I mounted after the install - naming it Media.  It's mounted as /media/Media - is there a way I can mount it directly off of the root (and maybe rename it since having Media and media as directories would be confusing)
[22:10] <look> my Xserver keeps dying and i have no idea why.
[22:10] <maginot> look, start looking at the logs
[22:10] <maginot> X.org.0 log in /var/log
[22:10] <look> maginot: where are the logs, i never had to mess with xserver
[22:10] <look> maginot: oh thanks
[22:10] <ieri> Having it under /media was causing me some headaches in MediaTomb (directory structures were too deep for the PS3 to read correctly)
[22:10] <xcyclist> My standard panel for network services is not available, and I cannot find it in the panel install options.
[22:11] <hellphyre> hiexpo: did you try taking the hd out of the enclosure and hokking it up directly to your pc?

[22:14] <coz_> bsmith093,  rater it is now  /etc/default/grub
[22:14] <coz_> bsmith093,  but it is also different in what you can edit there
[22:15] <ieri> Is there a way to make it not ask for a password when I wake up the PC after it's been sitting idle?
[22:15] <warz> hi all. im trying to deploy a website on Ubuntu 10.10, and it requires an Oracle client. the only Oracle client software ive been able to find are either in RPM format, or are old from 2006. does anyone know of a more current, ubuntu-ish install for Oracle client?
[22:15] <coz_> bsmith093,  you may want to either google this or stop over on the #grub channel
[22:15] <ovoid> bsmith093, use startupmanager - is in repo
[22:15] <maginot> bsmith093, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[22:15] <coz_> bsmith093,  startupmanager should help,, I believe it has been updated to work with grub2
[22:16] <bsmith093> i need to edit the boot line to add i8042.reset to the kernel boot command how do i do that
[22:17] <w4nvc> has anyone run fedora on a netbook?
[22:17] <ovoid>  yes , work well whith grub2, but for mor stuff you could edit /etc/default/grub.Do not forget to run update-grub if you modify that file
[22:17] <bastidrazor> bsmith093: add it in /etc/default/grub
[22:18] <coz_> bsmith093,  ok startupmanager will not do that... I am not up on all things  grub2 so you may want to google the proper way to edit the /etc/default/grub  file for this
[22:18] <maginot> bsmith093, it's better you to try editing first on runtime, when you computer boot, press ESC to enter grub menu if is not being shown already, there i think i "E" to edit, so edite the kernel line (the one which have root...) and add your option in the end
[22:18] <Rickardo1> How do I remove an application compiled by make?
[22:18] <maginot> because if something goes wrong after rebooting the option will no be there anymore
[22:18] <Rickardo1> I did "make" the wrong version and now I can´t get rid of it.
[22:18] <maginot> Rickardo1, normally make uninstall .... if this option is available
[22:19] <R1aanFV> hi
[22:19] <maginot> Rickardo1, just make, without make install ?
[22:20] <maginot> Rickardo1, make doesn't install, just compiles the program... you can try "make clean" to start all over again... onlye after make install is that the files will be installed on the system
[22:20] <rui> hello everybody
[22:20] <hiexpo> hellphyre, kool thanks
[22:21] <hellphyre> hiexpo: good luck
[22:21] <bastidrazor> Rickardo1: a better method is to use checkinstall instead of make install as checkinstall will create a deb and allow you to uninstall via apt-get
[22:22] <ZykoticK9> Rickardo1, i second bastidrazor's checkinstall suggestion - very cool for source installs on ubuntu

[22:28] <reya276> How can I get to CLI at boot on 10.10?
[22:28] <k-rad> could anyone assist me in getting conky started upon gnome bootup ?
[22:28] <reya276> what is the buttons I have to press to access CLI at boot time on 10.10?
[22:29] <ZykoticK9> k-rad, add it to System / Preferences / Startup Applications
[22:29] <k-rad> reya276, rescude mode
[22:29] <EpicCyndaquil> I have a computer with about 300MB RAM, any tips for speeding up Ubuntu? Should I look into a different window manager?
[22:29] <erUSUL> reya276: sift to enter grub menu then boot into recovery mode?
[22:29] <erUSUL> shift*
[22:29] <reya276> ok
[22:30] <k-rad> ZykoticK9, could you give me a one liner with a slight sleep command, i feel without a sleep command, minimal wait integer, thati'll really help me out
[22:30] <erUSUL> EpicCyndaquil: install lubuntu ?
[22:30] <ZykoticK9> EpicCyndaquil, you might be interested in testing lubuntu which uses lxde - lightest semi-supported-ubuntu version i believe (much quicker the xubuntu that's for sure)
[22:30] <k-rad> i'm not a computer guru, i'm a computer mechanic :)
[22:30] <hellphyre> EpicCyndaquil: use a smaller or less graphical distro?
[22:30] <joe85> I think it may have been a mistake to install the ATI driver
[22:30] <dagwood> I was installing software (Apache) and synaptic has hung restarting apache.  It's been a few mins.  I'd like to kill it but am afraid of horking the repo db
[22:30] <reya276> thanks guys
[22:30] <EpicCyndaquil> alright, I'll check out lubuntu
[22:31] <cmp_> Tryin to install ubuntu on an old tablet laptop. It sits at a black screen with a little guy in a circle at the bottom for a while. then goes to a screen with the ubuntu splash and sits there indefinately.
[22:31] <xorwhy> EpicCyndaquil: run bleachbit regularly, delete stuff in synaptic you don't use, make a good sized swap partition, and a different WM could make a big difference
[22:31] <joe85> I installed this ATI driver and rebooted. And now my screen is looking very strange
[22:31] <EpicCyndaquil> any difference between lubuntu and Ubuntu other than window manager?
[22:31] <iceroot> EpicCyndaquil: only lxde is the difference
[22:31] <ZykoticK9> k-rad, i don't have my conky/ubuntu theme setup right now so can't give you my example :(  - but just adding the appropriate conky run line to Startup Applications has always worked fine for me.
[22:32] <EpicCyndaquil> do you think if I grabbed Ubuntu Server and threw a window manager on top of it, it would run much lighter?
[22:32] <k-rad> would that be conky & and nothing else to read from a single .conkyrc ?
[22:32] <TeslaTony> EpicCyndaquil, I use LXDE (lubuntu) any time I need light weight. You can still use all your regular Ubuntu packages and programs under it, and to a large degree I can
[22:32] <hiexpo> hellphyre, hey i have another hd i had all the same stuff on but formated   > would that be easier to recover
[22:32] <ZykoticK9> EpicCyndaquil, i doubt using server would help you....
[22:32] <k-rad> ZykoticK9, does conky % fork the process immediately to the background ?
[22:33] <TeslaTony> EpicCyndaquil, Use the lubuntu disk and do a clean install if you want a lighter-weight system
[22:33] <hellphyre> hiexpo: that hd is bad alos?
[22:33] <hellphyre> also*
[22:33] <k-rad> ZykoticK9, excuse me, conky &
[22:33] <joe85> how can I get video back in Ubuntu?
[22:33] <hiexpo> hellphyre, no
[22:33] <joe85> I installed an ATI driver, rebooted, and now I can't see anything
[22:33] <ZykoticK9> k-rad, don't use the % at the end (in the system / preferences / startup apps)
[22:33] <EpicCyndaquil> ZykoticK9, I'm just curious if it would help lighten it up. But it seems like lubuntu is a good start.
[22:33] <hellphyre> hiexpo: then why do you need to recover files from it? maybe i misunderstood your q?
[22:34] <hellphyre> hiexpo: just hook it up and get your files
[22:34] <hiexpo> hellphyre,  i formated it
[22:34] <hellphyre> oh
[22:34] <hellphyre> =o
[22:34] <ZykoticK9> EpicCyndaquil, there might be some sort of "minimal" cd install - which would make more sense then server, but lubuntu is SO much easier and more suited then adding X to server version.
[22:34] <erUSUL> !minimal
[22:34] <hellphyre> hiexpo: its worth a try but you would need some good recovery software
[22:34] <EpicCyndaquil> very well, this is why I ask the pros ;D
[22:34] <sosaited> is there an offline ubuntu-desktop package for Maverick?
[22:35] <RoughNeck> #!/bin/sh ?what is this?
[22:35] <erUSUL> RoughNeck: it is called shebang
[22:35] <k-rad> joe, boot into recovery mode, there is a place to fix your xserver in the drop down option, select create generic profile, after that has been done, don't choose any options but backup using cancel.  then after creating the new xserver xorg.conf, you may have better luck.  if your an nvidia person, simply getting to console and sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current to pull in the latest restricted driver
[22:35] <ZykoticK9> erUSUL, i've always said shabang
[22:35] <erUSUL> RoughNeck: it tells the kernel what binary to use to interpret the script. in this case the dash shell
[22:35] <k-rad> RoughNeck, that is how bash scripts generally get prefixed
[22:36] <RoughNeck> Well I was trying to genrate a pakage list and thats what I get
[22:36] <hiexpo> hellphyre,  i know i am redownloading my forensic iso's lol lost them in that kaos
[22:36] <RoughNeck> I was hoping it wolud contain all my apps/sofware
[22:37] <k-rad> so i've remove quiet and splash from my /etc/default/grub http://pastebin.com/ARtnQu8c  will this get my no splash and give me verbose bootup messages ?
[22:37] <hellphyre> hiexpo: the only problem with recovery software is that typically your are more sucessful when its already monitoring the drive BEFORE you format it. lol
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> k-rad:  yes i belive so. You might want to replace them with the 'text' option. but that will also disable gdm.
[22:37] <ZykoticK9> RoughNeck, the #!/bin/sh is used in the first line of script files.
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> k-rad:  try it and see :) thats the definitive answer.
[22:37] <hiexpo> hellphyre, i know
[22:37] <k-rad> your incredible awesome for that help Dr_Willis
[22:38] <k-rad> thank you
[22:38] <hellphyre> hiexpo: just dont write anything to the drive until you can scan it
[22:38] <RoughNeck> thats what I thought, so why is it the only thing genrated in trying to make a package list

[22:42] <duergar> I'm trying to use gnome burner to burn an iso to a disk, not the iso file itself but you know what i mean. is that gonna let me? It looks like it wants to burn the file itself not the raw data in the iso

[22:43] <Mau13x> Hi all! I need some help I have a Asus Eeepc 1201T and i can't install Ubuntu 10.10 on it! The installation process stop with a message about my in realtek wirelles... anybody here already have a issue like mine?
[22:43] <neil_d> duergar: are you trying to save the .iso to the CD or create a CD from the .iso?
[22:44] <duergar> create from iso
[22:45] <Dr_Willis> duergar:  i tend to use k3b.   from command line.. -> 'k3b foo.iso'  :)  but I like k3b over the other tools..
[22:45] <strouthos> If Grub istn't working, whats the best way of getting into my good-old ubuntu installation with a live cd and a usb stick?
[22:45] <Mau13x> But when i run the live boot the wirelles work great! but when i try install the setup stop during wirelles installation
[22:46] <neil_d> duergar: navigate to the .iso... right click on it... select 'write to disc'
[22:46] <ieri> I'm trying to add an NTFS drive to my fstab file, - the line I have is /dev/sdb1 /Media vfat umask=000 0 0 (one tab between each field) - and I created /Media (off the root drive).  But it won't mount (get an error on boot every time).  I'm running Ubuntu 10.10.  Any ideas?
[22:47] <Mau13x> Nobody here have problems with Ubuntu 10.10 install on Asus EeePc 1201T?
[22:47] <neil_d> strouthos: do you want to just access data in it, or boot it?
[22:47] <strouthos> neil_d: boot it.
[22:48] <k-rad> do any of you save things to your desktop and have cluttered files ?  i have a nift bash script that i run manually to sort those saved files by date "under a 'central' folder" then it sorts all files by filetype for easy access to previous days stuff.
[22:48] <neil_d> strouthos: one way that might work is to boot the LiveCD then chroot into it.
[22:48] <k-rad> btw, with script should you have sorted files within a particular folder, it will simply leave that folder and your file arrangment in-tact.
[22:49] <KB1JWQ> k-rad: Do you have a support question?
[22:49] <k-rad> i simply hoped to help other ubuntu members by providing that script to them should they desire it
[22:49] <KB1JWQ> !ot | k-rad
[22:49] <strouthos> neil_d: sounds a bit risky. I was thinking more about somehow installing grub in the usb stick, but haven't been able to find any good instructions.

[22:50] <mgj> I'm trying to connect my pc to a bluetooth device, but its failing due to the bluetooth app in ubuntu have a unreasonable low timeout for entering the pin-code on the device (only 2 buttons on the device =S). How can i shorten the pin number?
[22:50] <k-rad> KB1JWQ, lots of knee jerks for that one.  i was trying to help the community.
[22:50] <hiexpo> hellphyre, whats weird is the drive that is racked says it has 280 gigs on it but i can't see the files
[22:50] <mgj> or even remove the need for it completely
[22:50] <goltoof> blakkheim,     i'm in there already...  but it might be something else in ubuntu that's keeping me from connecting
[22:51] <goltoof> this is ODD
[22:51] <strouthos> neil_d: But how would this chroot thing work?
[22:51] <mgj> "connecting to a device" -> "Set up new device"
[22:51] <bastidrazor> goltoof: there are error messages irssi should be giving. can you give those?
[22:51] <neil_d> strouthos: I once had a floppy that could do that... don't remember how I set it up, exactly... but I just used the grub.conf a little..
[22:52] <k-rad> so giving other people common solutions that are very good while not specifically asked for is that so disturbing that it be tagged as offtopic ?
[22:52] <neil_d> strouthos: s/a little/edited a little/
[22:54] <neil_d> strouthos: you boot from the CD... mount the HDD... bind mount the /proc/ into the correct point... the run the command 'chroot <dir>'

[22:58] <magicianlord> the synaptic offline installer script does not work without first refreshing the repository. that defeats its purpose.
[22:58] <Guest70691> through router advertisements
[22:59] <mmoebius> Guest70691: ipv6 has some automagic/dynamic "get-me a useable ip address" build into ipv6. There is no hlper protocol like dhcp needed
[22:59] <sudoer> prakriti: thats a lot just so I can run a command, it also doesnt work here: " [ -e asdas] && echo "hi""
[22:59] <prakriti> sudoer: i didn't use &&,  read my command closer
[22:59] <Solved> Is there a command which will disable internet, and it can ONLY be enabled again through terminal?
[22:59] <k-rad> neil_d, they are are might fragile and prone to errors on the long run
[22:59] <mmoebius> Guest70691: You want ots et sthat in Networkmanager ? Edit connection, set ipv4 to "Link-Local" or "Manual" and IPv6 to "automatic" ?!?

[23:01] <strouthos> neil_d: Hm. Maybe you'd know how I can create a new partition, install just Grub on it and boot from it?

[23:29] <sparpa> hello
[23:29] <hellphyre> Hakume1: i just googled znes sound issues and found hundreds of topics related to ubuntu. try those maybe?
[23:29] <Guest26172> !list
[23:29] <Cernunnos> still flood-thinged?
[23:29] <sparpa> !list
[23:30] <rlpb> bastidrazor: OK thanks. I did try that, but POST is rather fast. At least now I know what it's _supposed_ to be :-)
[23:30] <hello> nobody can help? ):
[23:31] <shcherbak> do you think that it is possible to hook up mocp to new sound applet in maverick?
[23:31] <UndiFineD> hello, can you ssh in remotely ?
[23:31] <evon> Is there something in UBUNTU's VNC server that tells it to disconnect client computers automatically after a while???
[23:32] <hello> UndiFineD, no, unfortunately, it doesn't work
[23:32] <shcherbak> UndiFineD: yes, but what do you mean?
[23:32] <rlpb> evon: could it be a NAT timeout?
[23:32] <UndiFineD> hello, sorry to hear that
[23:33] <evon> rlpb: i have  no idea. How would i check
[23:33] <rlpb> evl
[23:33] <hello> UndiFineD, but i have livecd
[23:33] <UndiFineD> hello, i think you need to reinstall
[23:33] <rlpb> evon: is there a router in between your client and server?
[23:33] <wgilthorpe_> hello: I got this off the aptitude web manual    full-upgrade: Like safe-upgrade, this command will attempt to upgrade packages, but it is more aggressive about solving dependency problems: it will install and remove packages until all dependencies are satisfied. Because of the nature of this command, it is possible that it will do undesirable things, and so you should be careful when using...
[23:33] <evon> yes
[23:33] <wgilthorpe_> ...it.  i would probably pop that drive out use another computer and backup my data that way.  Then do a clean install
[23:33] <evon> rlpb: yes
[23:33] <rlpb> evon: and do you only lose the connection after inactivity? and how long after?
[23:34] <UndiFineD> hello, does keyboard and mouse work in the live cd ?
[23:34] <evon> rlpb: this time only an hour or so
[23:34] <hello> wgilthorpe_, eeeeh, i didnt know :(
[23:34] <evon> rlpb: yes after inactivity
[23:34] <hello> UndiFineD, yep
[23:35] <UndiFineD> hello, can you set up partitions to make a backup onto, or have an external drive
[23:35] <rlpb> evon: it's a fundamental problem when you're behind a router doing NAT. It has to time out the connection after inactivity eventually. They often have a setting for it but you can only really make it longer not get rid of it completely
[23:35] <hellphyre> i just sat on my blackberry, now it shuts off by itself... nice
[23:35] <rlpb> evon: A workaround is to get the client to send keepalives, maybe there's a config option for that?
[23:35] <hello> UndiFineD, flash drives
[23:36] <Cernunnos_> Hi, could anyone help me for this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/530333/ (when trying to boot)

[23:36] <evon> rlpb: But i'm looking at the NAT settings and nothing is there. there is not port forwarding
[23:38] <rlpb> evon: it's not port forwarding, it's for outbound connections

[23:41] <intrader> I need to set environment variable VISUALWORKS in the 'appropriate unix startup file'. How should this be done?
[23:41] <rww> wgilthorpe_: Yes. 1) Upgrading from one version of Ubuntu to another is supposed to be done with upgrade-manager, otherwise it's not supported. 2) For normal package updates, I prefer aptitude.
[23:41] <rww> ubottu: upgrade
[23:42] <Cernunnos_> someone could help me with that or tell me what does that mean? http://paste.ubuntu.com/530333/

[23:43] <antonio_> k-rad, are you there?
[23:43] <wgilthorpe_> rww: Why do you prefer aptitude
[23:43] <rww> wgilthorpe_: With some tweaking, it deals with manual/automatic package marking better than apt-get, and is command-line based so I can still use it when I'm not in Xorg.
[23:44] <kindari|work> How can I mount a remote folder (ssh) to a local variable, like ~/myfolder. Also can I do this at startup?
