[00:30] <reaperofpoverty> hi
[00:30] <reaperofpoverty> can anyone help me install ubuntu? i'm having issues with it
[00:31] <reaperofpoverty> i'm installing ubuntu 10.10 my windows xp sp2 computer (would like to make ubuntu the only os)
[00:31] <reaperofpoverty> i have less than half a mb of ram, don't know if that's relevant
[00:32] <reaperofpoverty> I tried to USB boot but none of the options in my boot config menu worked, so i tried the cd
[00:32] <reaperofpoverty> that stuck at the screen with five dots for an hour before i shut it off - tried it again and same thing
[00:32] <reaperofpoverty> now i'm trying the alternate CD and it's not able to autoconfigure my dhcp. i have no idea what that means
[00:34] <mbergamo> phillw: I got it to work! FINALLY!
[00:36] <Cheri703> reaperofpoverty: what exactly is the message saying?
[00:36] <Cheri703> also, it sounds like it's an older computer, yes?
[00:36] <reaperofpoverty> yes, that's correct
[00:36] <reaperofpoverty> pentium 4 from 2002
[00:36] <reaperofpoverty> one moment, duplicating the error
[00:37] <Cheri703> ok, when you use the normal cd, did you see the screen where at the bottom it shows a keyboard and a circle with a guy in it?
[00:37] <reaperofpoverty> yes, i did
[00:37] <reaperofpoverty> after that it went to the screen with the five patterning dots
[00:37] <reaperofpoverty> that's where it hung
[00:37] <reaperofpoverty> i'm on the alternate cd now, and i have the error
[00:37] <Cheri703> ok, are you wanting a live session at all or just to go ahead and install?
[00:37] <Cheri703> ok what is the error?
[00:38] <reaperofpoverty> Network autoconfiguration failed. Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol. Alternatively, the DHCP server may be slow or some network hardware is not working properly
[00:38] <reaperofpoverty> i would rather just go ahead and install
[00:38] <Cheri703> ok, what options do you have on the dhcp error?
[00:38] <reaperofpoverty> options it gives me: retry network autoconfiguration, retray network autoconfiguration with a DHCP hostname, configure network manually, or do not configure the network at this time
[00:39] <Cheri703> if you choose either of the last two you should be ok, do you know what your network info is?
[00:39] <reaperofpoverty> no
[00:39] <Cheri703> OR you could try something with the normal cd real quick
[00:39] <Cheri703> ok
[00:39] <reaperofpoverty> sure
[00:39] <reaperofpoverty> want me to pop in the normal cd again?
[00:39] <Cheri703> yeah
[00:39] <reaperofpoverty> k, one sec
[00:39] <Cheri703> and when you get to the screen with that keyboard, hit enter or something on the keyboard
[00:40] <reaperofpoverty> okay
[00:40] <Cheri703> and let me know what happens
[00:41] <reaperofpoverty> okay
[00:41] <reaperofpoverty> popped up a screen asking me to select my language
[00:41] <reaperofpoverty> and function keys mapped to help, language, keymap, modes, accessibility, other options
[00:41] <Cheri703> ok, do that, then you should have a "try / install / other stuff"
[00:41] <reaperofpoverty> yeah
[00:41] <Cheri703> choose install
[00:41] <Cheri703> and see what happens
[00:42] <reaperofpoverty> try without installing, install, check for defects, test memory, boot from first hard disk
[00:42] <reaperofpoverty> k
[00:42] <reaperofpoverty> now at a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left
[00:42] <reaperofpoverty> i can hear the disk spinning in the drive
[00:42] <Cheri703> if it tries to go straight to live session (which I think some of these have been doing lately), your ram might not be sufficient, so it might bog down
[00:42] <Cheri703> ok, give it a few minutes, we'll see
[00:43] <Cheri703> also: get more RAM! :)
[00:43] <reaperofpoverty> yeah, i know. ={
[00:44] <Cheri703> newegg.com has good prices if you're in the US
[00:44] <reaperofpoverty> oh hey
[00:44] <Cheri703> ?
[00:44] <reaperofpoverty> popped up to the purple screen with a cursor
[00:44] <reaperofpoverty> the normal ubuntu background, i mean
[00:44] <Cheri703> ok
[00:44] <Cheri703> is this further than you had gotten previously?
[00:44] <aluex> help needed
[00:44] <reaperofpoverty> cursor moves, the top bar (status bar? whatever that is) is loading
[00:44] <reaperofpoverty> yes
[00:44] <Cheri703> ok, awesome
[00:44] <aluex> GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
[00:44] <reaperofpoverty> previously it hung at the dots
[00:45] <reaperofpoverty> this is my second time installing 10.10 and my third installing ubuntu
[00:45] <reaperofpoverty> i will probably be able to take it from here
[00:45] <reaperofpoverty> i'll tell you if i have any other problems
[00:45] <Cheri703> ok, great!
[00:45] <Cheri703> have fun :)
[00:45] <reaperofpoverty> thank you so much!
[00:45] <reaperofpoverty> m'wah
[00:45] <Cheri703> sure, I ran into that with mine before
[00:45] <aluex> when i try to start firefox and got this
[00:46] <aluex> anyone,please
[00:47] <aveilleux> what, aleux?
[00:47] <aluex> when i try to start firefox i got this:
[00:48] <aluex> GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
[00:48] <aveilleux> Oh,
[00:48] <aluex> and then nothing appear
[00:48] <aveilleux> aleux: In Terminal run rm -r ~/.mozilla
[00:48] <aluex> oh
[00:51] <aluex> not solved
[00:51] <aveilleux> Hm

[00:51] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 501670 in glib2.0 (Debian) (and 1 other project) "g_set_prgname() called multiple times (affects: 27) (dups: 2) (heat: 116)" [Unknown,Unknown]
[01:03] <trhisdone> what is a good backup program
[01:06] <aluex> thx,it's solved
[01:06] <aveilleux> trhisdone: rsync
[01:06] <Cheri703> aveilleux: someone in my LoCo room was just talking about rsync :)
[01:08] <aluex> but fx still doesn't appear either
[01:09] <reaperofpoverty> hey
[01:09] <reaperofpoverty> Cheri703: you still here?
[01:09] <Cheri703> yep
[01:09] <reaperofpoverty> spoke too soon, i guess
[01:09] <aluex> this time it appears nothing and quit quickly
[01:10] <reaperofpoverty> it went through a few more dialog boxes of options, and after the one about partitioning (where I instructed it to make it all one partition), it's been at the desktop screen with the cursor and no dialog box
[01:10] <aluex> whitout output
[01:10] <reaperofpoverty> that's been for twenty minutes or so
[01:10] <Cheri703> hmm...ok, did you get a confirmation about the partitioning? like to go ahead and do it?
[01:11] <Cheri703> also were there multiple partitions before? and how big is the hdd?
[01:12] <reaperofpoverty> i didn't receive any confirmation that it was doing it, but I did tell it to do it - not sure what you're asking. it had the c:/ drive and a 4-5 gb backup drive, i think those were separate partitions. The HDD is 60gb, i think
[01:12] <reaperofpoverty> hmm
[01:12] <reaperofpoverty> mouse no longer moves cursor
[01:13] <Cheri703> well, there is a page where it has multiple options, then after that a page to confirm that you want to dedicate the whole hdd, did you get the confirmation page?
[01:13] <reaperofpoverty> hmmm
[01:13] <reaperofpoverty> not sure
[01:13] <Cheri703> *at least I do, but I sometimes do wonky partitioning, so maybe not for yours
[01:13] <reaperofpoverty> i don't remember it, but i may have
[01:13] <reaperofpoverty> so yeah, it appears to have totally locked up
[01:13] <Cheri703> :( sorry
[01:13] <reaperofpoverty> ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing
[01:13] <reaperofpoverty> cursor doesn't move
[01:14] <reaperofpoverty> should i restart with normal disk or alterntate?
[01:14] <Cheri703> it's the ram again I'd bet...just having trouble handling it
[01:14] <Cheri703> uhm, try alternate? and I can help you get through the dhcp error
[01:14] <Cheri703> just was thinking it'd be easier to do normal if possible
[01:15] <reaperofpoverty> i have some extra ram, it should be fine, but the motherboard isn't configured to accept it. we're not sure if the stick of ram works, but yeah. i can add more ram, but not until i get this installed. =\
[01:15] <reaperofpoverty> booting from alt now
[01:15] <aluex> help..my fx is broken
[01:15] <Cheri703> :( ok
[01:16] <Cheri703> aluex: unfortunately that is outside of my range of knowledge
[01:16] <aluex> sorry..
[01:17] <aluex> this time it quit quickly without output
[01:17] <reaperofpoverty> alright, i'm at a screen similar to last time: install ubuntu, check disk for defects, test memory, boot from first hard disk, rescue a broken system. mapped to the function keys are help, language, keymap, modes, accessibility, other options
[01:17] <Cheri703> ok, install
[01:18] <reaperofpoverty> went through language/keymap config, it's now scanning cd-rom
[01:18] <reaperofpoverty> now loading additional components
[01:18] <UndiFineD> aluex, can you start firefox in safe-mode ?
[01:18] <Cheri703> ok
[01:18] <aluex> maybe arm platform has sth to do with the problem
[01:18] <reaperofpoverty> now detecting network hardware. now configuring the network
[01:19] <UndiFineD> firefox %u -- safe-mode
[01:19] <UndiFineD> firefox %u --safe-mode
[01:19] <reaperofpoverty> okay. it's' configuring the network, it's asking for the hostname. that's whatever I want, right?
[01:19] <Cheri703> yeah
[01:20] <aluex> UndiFineD, nothing appear
[01:20] <reaperofpoverty> huh. it appears to be working this time. skipped right through. idk what the problem was las ttime
[01:20] <aluex> without output
[01:20] <aluex> i m on arm platform
[01:20]  * UndiFineD goes searching for GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname()
[01:20] <Cheri703> ok, awesome :)

[01:21] <reaperofpoverty> checked additional components, started up the partitioner (scanned disks)
[01:21] <reaperofpoverty> okay, now i'm at some options for partitioning method
[01:21] <Cheri703> ok
[01:21] <aluex> Cheri703, that is solved
[01:22] <Cheri703> k, sorry
[01:22] <aluex> i forced the version as the comment said
[01:22] <aluex> : )
[01:22] <reaperofpoverty> options: guided - resize SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #5 (sda) and use freed space OR guided - use entire partition, SCSI1 (0,0,0) partition #5 (sda) OR guided - use entire disk OR guided - use entire disk and set up LVM OR guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM OR manual
[01:22] <reaperofpoverty> do i want guided - use entire disk?
[01:23] <aluex> but fx is still not willing to appear
[01:23] <Cheri703> do guided use entire disk
[01:23] <UndiFineD> aluex, I suggest you do as said in the forum and rename your .mozilla directory to something else, like mozilla.bak
[01:23] <reaperofpoverty> alright, it's at a 'select disk to partition', selecting the only option
[01:24] <Cheri703> k
[01:24] <aluex> i ve tried that.. remving the whole folder
[01:24]  * aluex feels sorry looking at fx icon
[01:24] <pedro3005> aluex, reinstall firefox
[01:24] <reaperofpoverty> now it's at a confirmation screen - it says the partition tables of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) will be changed, and partition #1 of it will be formatted as ext4 and partition #5 of it will be formatted as swap
[01:25] <reaperofpoverty> it wants to know if i want to write the changes to disks
[01:25] <Cheri703> go for it :)
[01:25] <aluex> pedro3005, meet u again. ;)
[01:26] <reaperofpoverty> alllllriiiight! it's installing the base system
[01:26]  * reaperofpoverty fingers crossed
[01:26] <UndiFineD> apt-get --purge firefox && apt-get update && apt-get install firefox
[01:26] <Cheri703> woo!
[01:30] <aluex> sorry
[01:30] <aluex> nothing improved
[01:30] <aluex> :(
[01:32] <UndiFineD> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8838107&postcount=21
[01:32] <UndiFineD> do you have prism installed ?
[01:34] <aluex> aha,gdb says fx returns with code01
[01:34] <UndiFineD> there are loads of tips in that forum
[01:35] <UndiFineD> one of them is prism, other says greasemonkey etc, by elimination the .mozilla dir you remove some custom plugins
[01:35] <UndiFineD> others are installed in /usr/sharefirefox
[01:35] <UndiFineD> eh, well you get what i mean
[01:36] <UndiFineD> these plugins seem to break it
[01:36] <reaperofpoverty> just set up my user, pass, etc. appears to be working so far
[01:37] <Cheri703> awesome reaperofpoverty! I'm glad it's working now
[01:37] <aluex> but safe-mode doesnt work either
[01:37] <reaperofpoverty> not completely sure it will work - after all, have to make sure the DE is working
[01:37] <reaperofpoverty> but the cli side of it is working so far
[01:38] <UndiFineD> no aluex you should start up synaptic and remove firefox, and associated plugins
[01:38] <aluex> oh
[01:39] <UndiFineD> then you can check /usr/share/firefox
[01:39] <UndiFineD> to see if there are any leftovers
[01:39] <duanedesign> aluex: you can also start firefox from the Terminal with the command: firefox -P  and create a new profile
[01:40] <UndiFineD> duanedesign, clearly from the forum this is a plugins issue
[01:40] <aluex> i agree
[01:40] <yofel> still, -safe-mode should disable all plugins
[01:41] <duanedesign> UndiFineD: if you create a new profile it should not load the plugins installed on the other profile
[01:41] <aluex> confusing
[01:41] <aluex> firefox -p outputs nothing
[01:41] <duanedesign> capital p
[01:43] <duanedesign> so i guess it is actually Ctrl + Shift + p :)
[01:43] <duanedesign> i mean firefox + Shift + P
[01:43] <aluex> duanedesign, no output either :(
[01:43] <duanedesign> hmm :/
[01:43] <aluex> duanedesign, i didnt catch ur words
[01:44] <duanedesign> aluex:  not important :)
[01:44] <duanedesign> aluex: does it just return again to another prompt?
[01:44] <UndiFineD> plugins are in /usr/share/mozilla/extentions
[01:45] <yofel> er, they're in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[01:45] <aluex> duanedesign, what is prompt?
[01:46] <UndiFineD> yofel, I dont have that
[01:46] <yofel> well, depends if you have anything installed that gets put there
[01:46] <duanedesign> aluex:  duanedesign@duanedesign-laptop:  <--my prompt
[01:47] <aluex> ehm
[01:47] <aluex> yep
[01:47] <UndiFineD> keimpe@head:~$
[01:47] <UndiFineD> my prompt
[01:50] <aluex> duanedesign, as u said
[01:51] <yofel> aluex: what does 'firefox -g' do?
[01:51] <yofel> should start gdb
[01:52] <aluex> ehm, gdb starts
[01:53] <yofel> aluex: ok, then run 'start' and when it stops 'continue'
[01:53] <yofel> in gdb
[01:54] <aluex> Function "main" not defined.
[01:54] <aluex> Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
[01:56] <yofel> that's not what I expected... (why wouldn't main be defined??)
[01:58] <aluex> i dont know
[01:58] <aluex> maybe that's the reason?
[01:58] <aluex> excutive file is broken?
[01:59] <aluex> but ive just reinstallled it
[02:00] <aluex> ;(
[02:00] <duanedesign> aluex: can you try this command to see if you have this installed: apt-cache search kde-config-gtk
[02:00] <aveilleux> executable
[02:01] <aluex> aveilleux, i m sorry
[02:01] <yofel> firefox isn't easy to debug, since you pass 3 shell scripts before the actual binary is run :/
[02:02] <aluex> ;(
[02:03] <duanedesign> aluex: looking at some crash reports when it asks - Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) - you say n
[02:04] <aluex> duanedesign, no crash report. it exited with code 01
[02:08] <duanedesign> the only other think i can think of is trying to reinstall xulrunner
[02:09] <yofel> I think the recent firefox packages ship their own xulrunner lib
[02:11] <aluex> xulrunner iz not installed yet, duanedesign
[02:11] <yofel> right, since firefox has it's own, hm...
[02:12] <aluex> now i can only use midori
[02:13] <aluex> chromium crashes , too
[02:13]  * aluex feels sorry looking at firefox icon
[02:13] <UndiFineD> I have firefox, chromium, chrome, opera, minefield, midori, links2,
[02:14] <yofel> aluex: just to make sure it's the binary that fails: can you edit '/usr/lib/firefox-VERSION/run-mozilla.sh' (replace VERSION with your version) and add an -x to the first line? '#!/bin/sh -x' and then pastebin the output?
[02:14] <yofel> (output of trying to run firefox from the command line)
[02:14] <aluex> i'lll hava try
[02:15] <Cheri703> reaperofpoverty: everything finish up smoothly?
[02:18] <aluex> yofel, output about what
[02:19] <aluex> the script?
[02:19] <yofel> aluex: if you added -x to run_mozilla.sh and tried running 'firefox' do you get any output?
[02:19] <yofel> (you did save run-mozilla.sh after editing it?)
[02:19] <aluex> yes
[02:20] <aluex> and no output..
[02:20] <yofel> . . .
[02:20] <yofel> aluex: okaaay... can you do the same with /usr/bin/firefox and /usr/lib/firefox-VERSION/firefox ?
[02:21] <aluex> oh,wait for a moment..
[02:24] <aluex> odd...
[02:24] <aluex> very odd
[02:25] <aluex> yofel, /usr/lib/f../firefox seems not a plain text file
[02:26] <yofel> huh? it is here, /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13pre/firefox-bin is the binary here
[02:27] <aluex> ehm ,but the file fx itself seems not proper
[02:27] <yofel> aluex: ok, can you leave that aside and only edit /usr/bin/firefox?
[02:27] <aluex> ok
[02:27] <aluex> done
[02:28] <yofel> ok, running 'firefox' should give you something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/531497/
[02:29] <aluex> enm, i see it
[02:29] <aluex> seemz right
[02:29] <yofel> can you pastebin that output please?
[02:29] <aluex> ok
[02:37] <aluex> yofel, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/531500/
[02:38] <bobo123> good evening. anyone knows how to set up projects in Code:Blocks?
[02:39] <aluex> i think /usr/lib/../firefox was the reason
[02:39] <bobo123> it gives me lots of errors like "/usr/include/c++/4.4/cwchar:67: error: ‘::mbstate_t’ has not been declared" so I guess there is some build options that I must set or? (the program is normally compiled with jam from commandline, but I had hoped I could use code:blocks instead)
[02:39] <yofel> aluex: why are you running firefox 3.5.3? I can find that in karmic, but even karmic-updates has 3.6.12
[02:39] <aluex> i m using arm platform
[02:40] <yofel> (and it's entirely possible that 3.5.3 has firefox as binary)
[02:40] <yofel> ah...
[02:40] <aluex> and ubuntu.srt.cn is the current source
[02:40] <yofel> right, the updated only show as amd64,i386
[02:40] <aluex> ehm
[02:41] <yofel> aluex: ok, can you try to install a xulrunner package after all? maybe that's missing
[02:41] <aluex> ok.. i m running out of power..
[02:41] <aluex> thx all da same
[02:42] <yofel> sure, sorry I couldn't help more
[02:42] <aluex> :) see u all
[05:39] <_spacer_> ok soo, ive installed ubuntu 10.10 from a cd on my laptop, as a dual boot and i've do not get the option to load windows
[05:40] <_spacer_> any thoughts?
[06:16] <JoeMaverickSett> _spacer_: have you done "sudo update-grub" from you ubuntu?
[07:41] <ttrubuntu> hi all

[07:45] <Cheri703> Well, first of all, welcome :)
[07:46] <Cheri703> are you referring to the physical power button or the one on-screen up at the top?

[07:47] <Cheri703> ok, when you click it it doesn't do anything, or?
[07:47] <ttrubuntu> i am uisng ubuntu 10.04 and moderately configures desktop using dual boot
[07:48] <Cheri703> ok
[07:48] <ttrubuntu> yes. nothing happes when i click with mouse
[07:49] <Cheri703> ok, if you press and release your power button, does a menu come up on the screen (the physical button)
[07:51] <ttrubuntu> i haven't checked. every time  i am uisng $sudo halt command(after doing a quick search)
[07:52] <Cheri703> ok, if I lightly press my power button I get a "shutdown, restart, suspend, hibernate" menu
[07:52] <ttrubuntu> i will test next time since it may end my current session and
[07:52] <ttrubuntu> shall i do that
[07:52] <ttrubuntu> too?
[07:53] <Cheri703> it shouldn't end your session, you can cancel from there...don't press and hold it
[07:53] <ttrubuntu> yes cheri703
[07:53] <ttrubuntu> i did get the menu and i think that solves the problem
[07:54] <ttrubuntu> thanks. and  my second problem!
[07:54] <Cheri703> ok, great!
[07:54] <Cheri703> I'm not sure why the gui button isn't working, but at least you can access it!
[07:54] <ttrubuntu> ok
[07:54] <Cheri703> pressing ctrl-alt-del *should* also bring up that menu
[07:55] <ttrubuntu> ok. i see. here it is: i have habit of opening og 8-10 tabs in firefox and my ubuntu unable to handle it
[07:56] <Cheri703> ah, ok

[07:57] <Cheri703> ok, now right click in an empty place, and choose "add to panel"
[07:57] <ttrubuntu> it got removed
[07:58] <Cheri703> you should be able to choose power button (or something similar) from the list
[07:59] <ttrubuntu> yes i did.
[08:00] <Cheri703> ok, now does the button work?
[08:00] <ttrubuntu> but sorry to say: lock scrrn, logout, change user options are missing from this one

[08:10] <ttrubuntu> another problem. usially i open 6-10 tabs in firefox and close one by one when i finish reading. but ubuntu hags several times. i open only max of 4 tabs now. please help
[08:10] <Cheri703> that may be about your hardware ttrubuntu
[08:11] <ttrubuntu> ok. but in the same machine win XP handles
[08:11] <nit-wit> ttru
[08:11] <ttrubuntu> such situation though it fails in many palces
[08:12] <nit-wit> ttrubuntu,  whats your setup how much memory, and do you clear FF
[08:13] <nit-wit> ttrubuntu,  XP is just less of a drain ob the hardware
[08:13] <ttrubuntu> AMD Athlon 1700XP(1.1GHz), 1.2GB RAM, 80 GB HDD
[08:13] <ttrubuntu> i know it is 8 years old
[08:13] <ttrubuntu> !!
[08:15] <nit-wit> ttrubuntu, I don't open a lot of tabs, but if you have pages with lots of scripts running and addblock off it may be difficult for it to run. Do you use noscript?
[08:16] <ttrubuntu> nit-wit: i have no idea about script. i haven't added any scripts myself. i have 3-5 add-ons added to original installation. i have all the updates installed to my machine.
[08:17] <nit-wit> ttrubuntu,  try the addon  noscript it blocks flash and stuff, you can also add toolbar buttons and have a easy persession okay and reverse
[08:17] <ttrubuntu> not-wit: tabs may be avoided. but i am into lot of RSS reading. all the links i open in tabs and and read tabs after some time
[08:18] <Cheri703> ttrubuntu: try google reader
[08:18] <ttrubuntu> ok. thanks. i will do
[08:18] <ttrubuntu> do u use forefox or different?
[08:19] <ttrubuntu> i mean firefox?
[08:19] <nit-wit> ttrubuntu,  FF mainly it is about the safest browser when set up correctly
[08:19] <ttrubuntu> currently i am using in-built akregator
[08:19] <ttrubuntu> ok
[08:20] <ttrubuntu> my last question with the little knowledge i have gained in ubuntu:
[08:20] <nit-wit> ttrubuntu, , I use ghostery, beef taco, noscipt, better privacy, add block for main protection andI have FF set to remeber nothing, after getting the passwords I want in it, with firefox sync
[08:22] <ttrubuntu> can we kill some memory intensive processes to ease memory in ubuntu? back in windows i used to do lot of CAD and " end process"
[08:22] <ttrubuntu> ok
[08:23] <JoeMaverickSett> ttrubuntu: you might want to try this out; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1193567
[08:23] <JoeMaverickSett> optimizing firefox.
[08:24] <nit-wit> JoeMaverickSett,  that is the one good job
[08:24] <ttrubuntu> thanks 	
[08:24] <ttrubuntu> JoeMaverickSett  ... i will see
[08:24] <JoeMaverickSett> wokie! ;)
[08:24] <nit-wit> JoeMaverickSett, I didn't have that page saved
[08:25] <JoeMaverickSett> nit-wit: ah, what do you mean? you could still see it here.
[08:26] <nit-wit> JoeMaverickSett, the OP is a regular
[08:27] <JoeMaverickSett> nit-wit: sorry, i don't get what you are saying.
[08:27] <nit-wit> JoeMaverickSett, i'll save it for just this sort of occasion. I'm not a real IRC user so I don't know all the tricks yet
[08:33]  * JoeMaverickSett is confused!
[08:33] <Cheri703> JoeMaverickSett: I think he meant that he didn't have it bookmarked for quick reference
[08:34] <JoeMaverickSett> Cheri703: but he could reopen and do it? no?
[08:34] <JoeMaverickSett> Cheri703: btw, hello! :)
[08:34] <Cheri703> yeah, he was saying that he didn't have it as a quick reference previously. I think he's bookmarked it now
[08:34] <Cheri703> and hi :)
[08:34] <JoeMaverickSett> Cheri703: ah, okie. now i get it. :D
[08:34] <JoeMaverickSett> Cheri703: how do you do?
[08:35] <Cheri703> I'm doing ok, you?

[12:59] <janhln> Hi all, I'm more a IRC beginner than an ubuntu beginner, but here goes: apt-get python-nevow gives the error:
[12:59] <janhln> Compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/nevow/test/test_newflat.py ...
[12:59] <janhln> Sorry: UnicodeError: ("\\N escapes not supported (can't load unicodedata module)",)
[13:00] <janhln> can't find a working solution for this by google or ubuntuforums...
[13:01] <pedro3005> hi janhln
[13:01] <janhln> hi
[13:01] <pedro3005> It looks as though it's trying to use python 2.4
[13:01] <janhln> aha, remove python2.4?
[13:01] <pedro3005> can you run this for me and tell what it says:
[13:01] <pedro3005> python --version
[13:02] <janhln> Python 2.6.5
[13:03] <pedro3005> janhln, on a terminal, type "python" please
[13:03] <pedro3005> then try to run this python code
[13:03] <pedro3005> import unicodedata
[13:03] <janhln> succeeds without any message
[13:03] <pedro3005> ok
[13:03] <pedro3005> type this:
[13:03] <pedro3005> exit()
[13:04] <pedro3005> please paste the output of
[13:04] <pedro3005> ls /usr/bin | grep python
[13:04] <janhln> this nevow thing (I need it for python-coherence) sees python 2.4 first...?
[13:04] <janhln> dh_python
[13:04] <janhln> python
[13:05] <janhln> python2
[13:05] <janhln> python2.4
[13:05] <janhln> python2.6
[13:05] <janhln> python3.1
[13:05] <pedro3005> it's using python 2.4 for some reason
[13:05] <pedro3005> okay
[13:05] <pedro3005> next time please
[13:05] <pedro3005> !paste | janhln

[13:05] <pedro3005> But it's okay
[13:05] <janhln> sorry, IRC newby
[13:06] <pedro3005> what we could try to do is symlink python 2.4 to python
[13:06] <pedro3005> I'm not sure that would work but it's worth a shot
[13:06] <pedro3005> first, let's back up python2.4
[13:06] <pedro3005> sudo cp /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/bin/python2.4.bak
[13:06] <pedro3005> if anything goes wrong we can just restore our back up
[13:07] <janhln> done
[13:08] <pedro3005> ok
[13:08] <pedro3005> now
[13:08] <pedro3005> sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.4
[13:10] <janhln> ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/bin/python2.4': File exists
[13:10] <pedro3005> oh
[13:10] <pedro3005> sudo rm /usr/bin/python2.4
[13:10] <pedro3005> (don't worry, we have the back up)
[13:11] <pedro3005> and then run the command again
[13:13] <janhln> should I try the apt-get again :-)
[13:13] <pedro3005> janhln, did you run the ln command again?
[13:14] <janhln> yes, sorry
[13:14] <pedro3005> ok
[13:14] <pedro3005> now do this
[13:14] <pedro3005> python2.4
[13:14] <pedro3005> it'll open, hopefully, a python shell
[13:14] <pedro3005> tell me which version it says it is
[13:14] <janhln> 2.6.5
[13:14] <pedro3005> ok
[13:14] <pedro3005> exit()
[13:14] <pedro3005> and try the apt-get command again
[13:14] <janhln> apt-get nevow also works
[13:15] <pedro3005> :)
[13:15] <janhln> :-D
[13:16] <janhln> great, I'm going to remember this channel :-) googled for about 2 hours for this, couldn't find any similar user story :-(, thx alot pedro3005
[13:16] <pedro3005> no problem janhln
[13:22] <SPooN> how do you run an exe in maverick?

[13:24] <pedro3005> exe files are made for Windows
[13:24] <pedro3005> they don't run natively on linux
[13:25] <SPooN> what about a .i836?
[13:25] <pedro3005> you can take a look at wine though
[13:25] <pedro3005> huh, never heard of that

[13:36] <pedro3005> chmod +x ~/Desktop/UrbanTerror/UrbanTerror/ioUrTded.i386
[13:37] <pedro3005> then just double click the file
[13:38] <SPooN> not doing anything...
[13:39] <pedro3005> isn't there a file named ioUrbanTerror.i386 ?

[15:01] <SPooN> is there a way to delete locked files?
[15:02] <hobgoblin> SPooN: as root - either in a terminal with rm or you could use filemanager as root
[15:03] <hobgoblin> in ubuntu = gksudo nautilus
[15:04] <SPooN> where is filemanager?
[15:06] <hobgoblin> you would need to run it is root - so do Alt+F2 then the command I gave above - it will want password
[15:06] <aveilleux> SPooN: You access root permissions by using the command "gksudo nautilus". "File Manager" is a generic name for any program that enables the graphical organization of files,; the file manager in Ubuntu is Nautilus.
[15:07] <SPooN> ok
[15:08] <hobgoblin> the assumption is that you are using ubuntu
[15:08] <SPooN> maverick ubuntu
[15:08] <hobgoblin> if though you are not the first user or have root rights then you won't be removing the file
[15:22] <hobgoblin> hi nothingspecial

[20:42] <Forer> pop open a terminal and go to the folder and change permissions is one I can think of offhand
[20:42] <bioterror> what folder which file and where
[20:42] <hobgoblin> Forer: if it is not in /home then edit as root
[20:42] <Forer> well I'm trying to get kismet up, after installing it I'm running through kismet.conf and it's set to root accessible only it seems
[20:43] <Forer> "could not save file /etc/kismet/kismet.conf"
[20:43] <bioterror> sudo nano /etc/kismet/kismet.conf
[20:44] <Forer> that'll work thanks
[21:16] <salvo> anyone have experience setting up RAID1?
[21:20] <salvo> I currently have 2 2TB WDEARS drives. One has about 600Gb of data on it (NTFS) and I am currently copying that data to a the other 2TB properly 4k aligned ext4 drive.
[21:20] <salvo> after it is done copying I am going to align and format the NTFS to ext4
[21:21] <salvo> then I would like to setup a RAID1
[21:21] <salvo> without losing any data
[21:24] <bioterror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/RAID1%2BLVM
[21:25] <salvo> lol I just found that before you posted
[21:26] <salvo> although, I don't want LVM
[21:26] <salvo> so I just run the RAID commands listed?
[21:28] <salvo> or LVM is what I should use
[21:30] <bioterror> I think you should go with the LVM
[21:33] <salvo> ok, so since I already have files on one of the drives, it seems if I follow the steps in the guide I'll have to reformat which I don't want to do. Once I have the drives formated to ext4 with one drive full of data and the other blank, it is still possible to setup RAID1 without losing any data correct?
[21:34] <bioterror> I've only build raids with solaris and FreeBSD
[21:34] <bioterror> never with linux
[21:35] <bioterror> and I've owned hw raid 5 systems
[21:36] <deejoe> bioterror: you talking software raid for solaris and FreeBSD?
[21:36] <salvo> I do have an option in my BIOS to setup RAID, should I use that?
[21:36] <bioterror> yes
[21:37] <bioterror> salvo, I would suggest to use software raid
[21:37] <salvo> ok
[21:37] <bioterror> becouse if your computer gets messed up, you might lose the data
[21:38] <bioterror> with software raid you're bounded to bIOS
[21:41] <salvo> the help page says it is specific to Ubuntu versions 7.04, 8.04, 9.04....
[21:41] <salvo> I am running 10.10
[21:41] <salvo> does it matter?
[21:43] <bioterror> I think nothing have not changed since 9.04
[21:43] <bioterror> but I'm off to bed, laters
[21:44] <salvo> k
