[00:00] <nived> sudo service gdm stop returned "gdm stop/waiting". i'm logged in as root, and tried just "service gdm stop" and it said "stop: unknown instance"
[00:00] <nixnoob> root       938   915  9 07:44 tty7     00:01:24 /usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-bdP1G4/database -nolisten tcp vt7 <- This is what the process will look somewhat like in the ps -ef list
[00:00] <jags> if I wanted to check if a program is running, is there a command for that?, can I grep running processes? sorry I'm a newb
[00:01] <nived> okay, looked through processes, didn't see any instances of x or gdm
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> mExIoUs: at least Hardy, Karmic, Lucid or Maverick
[00:02] <nixnoob> nived: then you should be clear to "sh nvidia-package.run"
[00:02] <LP> #acheronte
[00:02] <mExIoUs> is there a way to update from command rather than a full clean install
[00:02]  * hashashin nas
[00:02] <nixnoob> nived: just substitute the exact name of the .run file, and it should start the installer
[00:03] <nixnoob> nived: you can type the first couple of letters and then hit [TAB] for auto-completion
[00:03] <nived> it asked me to accept the ToS (i think that's what it was), and now it says "the distribution-provided pre-install script failed! continue installation anyway?"
[00:04] <nixnoob> yeah, I got that too, continue
[00:04] <bahax> jags, you can try using ps aux | grep <name of the program>
[00:04] <iceroot> !upgrade | mExIoUs
[00:04] <jags> bahax, ty will try
[00:04] <antihc3> anyone know if it is possable to set the screen resolution when running kexec to load ubuntu from live disk
[00:04] <Weapon_X> why do the oem cds run so much better than the iso downloads
[00:05] <gidimanunaki> I
[00:05] <iceroot> Weapon_X: what is a oem-cd?
[00:05] <nixnoob> Weapon_X it must be something to do with your burner
[00:05] <gidimanunaki> I've rarely had issue with ISO downloads.
[00:05] <Weapon_X> the ones you can get straight from ubuntu
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> mExIoUs: you could use the alternate ISO to get to Jaunty, then use the alternate Karmic ISO to get to Karmic
[00:05] <sarem> nixnoob
[00:05] <iceroot> Weapon_X: check your burner, both cds have the same content
[00:05] <nixnoob> the ISO downloads have never been a problem for me... making my USB bootable, well sometimes that requires manually installing syslinux on it...
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> Weapon_X: OEM CDs? how do you mean?
[00:06] <sarem> now i can hear login sound but i get black screen
[00:06] <veleno> hello
[00:06] <nived> alright
[00:06] <gidimanunaki> ActionParsnip: The ShipIt ones.
[00:06] <nived> installation is now complete
[00:06] <nived> back at the cli
[00:06] <gidimanunaki> My guess.
[00:06] <nived> should I restart or do startx or what?
[00:06] <bahax> jags, np
[00:06] <bahax> nived, nixnoob, did it work, could you kill the X?
[00:06] <mExIoUs> hmmf...following instructions now...i need to get rid of this...any suggestions ? http://pastie.org/1298343
[00:06] <iceroot> nived: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[00:06] <veleno> i'm trying o benchmark io system perfances with bonnie, and i get this error: http://pastie.org/1298342
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> sarem: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html - Cached
[00:06] <nixnoob> nived: I'd just reboot, it would be easier
[00:06] <nived> bahax, i had no instance of x up, actually
[00:06] <bahax> nived, good :)
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> gidimanunaki: they are the same thing
[00:07] <sarem> thanks and sorry for much question :-)
[00:07] <sarem> i wishes this help me
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Weapon_X: do you MD5 test the ISO files you download?
[00:07] <dooney> #soztalk
[00:07] <gidimanunaki> ActionParsnip: I know that, you know that, maybe other people experience differences between the two.
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> gidimanunaki: possibly, if they check the media and iso they will have zero issue
[00:07] <jags> bahax, what does the 'aux' in that command stand for?
[00:08] <nived> okay
[00:08] <nived> nixnoob, still here?
[00:08] <nixnoob> sarem: You still have the blank screen?
[00:08] <gidimanunaki> ActionParsnip:  Agreed.
[00:08] <nixnoob> nived: Yes
[00:08] <nived> at the ubuntu loading screen, with the dots (showed me in text form, not in graphical), it listed a bunch of error messages, too fast for me to see (right on the same screen as the loading), then dropped me back into the cli
[00:08] <sarem> now?!
[00:09] <Muscovy> Is there a way from the command line to export an odt file to html?
[00:09] <sarem> no im in save mode
[00:09] <shcherbak> nived: /var/log to see them
[00:09] <nixnoob> nived: you can use dmesg to track down the error messages, and try checking the xorg log
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Muscovy: http://odt2html.gradsoft.ua/Odt2Html.html
[00:10] <shcherbak> Muscovy: odt2html? just wild guess.
[00:10] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, what's SSH does? Can I use it on regular desktop?
[00:10] <nived> shcherbak, nixnoob - i'm in /var/log. i see xorg.0.log, xorg.0.log.old, and it repeats all the way up to xorg.5.log and xorg.5.log.old
[00:10] <Muscovy> Thanks guys.
[00:10] <nived> which am i looking at?
[00:10] <nixnoob> sarem: my xorg.conf is not really minimal... you might be best to rename the xorg.conf and then run nvidia-xsettings as root (or sudo nvidia-xsettings) but you said that didn't work?
[00:10] <gidimanunaki> isolat3dsh33p: SSH is Secure Shell. :)
[00:11] <nixnoob> nived: xorg.0.log should be the latest (current) one, I think
[00:11] <shcherbak> Muscovy: odt2txt
[00:11] <yeats> !ssh | isolat3dsh33p
[00:11] <shcherbak> Muscovy: odt2txt and txt2html
[00:11] <nived> nixnoob: how do i open it?
[00:11] <nixnoob> nived: try cat xorg.0.log | more to read it from the command line
[00:12] <isolat3dsh33p> yeats, thanks
[00:12] <yeats> isolat3dsh33p: sure - and yes, you can use it from a regular desktop ;-)
[00:12] <shcherbak> nived: some of logs are time-stamped, and all of them have date of modification
[00:12] <nived> nixnoob: alright, i'm in. what am i lookingn for here?
[00:12] <mExIoUs> is there a way to remove this error http://pastie.org/1298343 without having to do a clean install?
[00:12] <nixnoob> nived: whatever went wrong :P
[00:13] <nixnoob> nived: most likely it'll be at the end of the log, because once it makes no sense to keep logging *after* a failure
[00:13] <nived> okay, at the end, it says Fatal server error: no screens found
[00:13] <isolat3dsh33p> yeats, and what if I wanna use it on Windows? Should I install a SSH client on it too?
[00:14] <nixnoob> nived: did you have the .run package generate a new xorg.conf for you, or did you tell it 'no' to that?
[00:14] <yeats> isolat3dsh33p: yes - see the link from ubottu about putty - that's the easiest
[00:14] <nived> i told it to generate a new xorg.conf
[00:14] <sarem> yea that didn't work
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> mExIoUs: remove the java packages
[00:14] <miststlkr> I have also been trying to figure out how to get Empathy back in the box.  I updated and now I have the Humanity icon in the applet rather than using the messaging indicator
[00:14] <isolat3dsh33p> yeats, so both nodes needs to have an SSH client?
[00:14] <owen1_> how to find messages i left on ubuntuforums+
[00:14] <owen1_> ?
[00:15] <nixnoob> nived: try renaming your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something else, and booting without one
[00:15] <sarem> sudo nvidia-xsettings give me xorg.conf but i can't boot by it
[00:15] <owen1_> i see a thread i posted but it's 100 pages..how to find my posts in it?
[00:15] <yeats> isolat3dsh33p: your Ubuntu box would need to be running openssh-server
[00:15] <nived> nixnoob: am i okay just renaming it to xorg.conf.old?
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> sarem: did the link I gave not fix the black screen at boot?
[00:15] <mExIoUs> yep, tried that i get this http://pastie.org/1298361
[00:15] <yeats> !sshd
[00:15] <nixnoob> nived: any name other than just "xorg.conf" is fine
[00:15] <sarem> now i'll try..
[00:15] <sarem> and i'll tell you
[00:16] <isolat3dsh33p> yeats, okay thanks. :)
[00:16] <nixnoob> sarem: you should probably do the same thing as nived and rename your xorg.conf and boot without one for now, then paste me copies of your xorg.conf files if you can boot into the desktop env. without an xorg.conf
[00:16] <nixnoob> I'll take a look at it and see if I can spot anything wrong with it
[00:17] <yagoo> isolat3dsh33p, filezilla is multiplatform and does sftp (file transfer over ssh)
[00:17] <sarem> sorry im not understand
[00:17] <nived> nixnoob: i tried rename xorg.conf xorg.conf.old and it returned Bareword "xorg" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1., and then the same line but disallowing Bareword "conf"
[00:18] <sarem> want from me to post to you xorg.conf from nvidia-xsettings command?
[00:18] <nixnoob> nived: ummm, try "mv xorg.conf xorg.OLD.conf
[00:18] <sarem> wait i try to reboot
[00:18] <nixnoob> the move command doubles as a "rename"
[00:18] <pitlimit> I've installed VMWorkstation on my Ubuntu box, but I cannot seem to find the software in Ubuntu Software Center
[00:18] <pitlimit> I want to make a shortcut to it - can anyone help me to do this?
[00:18] <nived> permission denied. trying as root, hang on
[00:19] <nived> k, allowed me to do it with sudo
[00:19] <nived> rebooting
[00:19] <nixnoob> oh ya, you should sudo that. I assumed you were logged in as root, my bad
[00:20] <nixnoob> brb; getting a glass of water
[00:20] <pitlimit> why is my installed software not locating VMWare WorkstatIion?
[00:20] <pitlimit> Can anyone help with this?
[00:20] <mExIoUs> have tried removing, but get this http://pastie.org/1298361
[00:21] <nixnoob> I'm back
[00:21] <isolat3dsh33p> pitlimit, how do you install it?
[00:21] <nived> nixnoob: okay, that was interesting. at the loading screen (text), it gave me some errors and offered me a choice to stop mounting or something else. then it skipped to the normal login screen.
[00:21] <pitlimit> terminal isolat3dsh33p
[00:21] <yeats> pitlimit: Ubuntu only knows about software you install with APT (aka Synaptic Package Manager/apt-get/Ubuntu Software Center)
[00:21] <pitlimit> yeats - how could i have installed vmware workstation through there?
[00:21] <pitlimit> it's not a free program
[00:22] <crimeboy> forgot the aptitude
[00:22] <nixnoob> nived: now you have the desktop environment up, maybe you can open up the failing xorg.conf in a text editor and paste me a copy
[00:22] <yagoo> pitlimit, vmware site says how to..
[00:22] <isolat3dsh33p> pitlimit, using make?
[00:22] <pitlimit> darnnit!!!!
[00:22] <yeats> pitlimit: you couldn't have - and that's why it doesn't "know" about it
[00:22] <pitlimit> ugh
[00:22] <nived> nixnoob: alright, will open and pastebin
[00:22] <sarem> back
[00:22] <sarem> same problem
[00:22] <yeats> crimeboy: good catch ;-)
[00:23] <pitlimit> yeats - how can i fix this?
[00:23] <pitlimit> or get a shortcut?
[00:23] <yeats> pitlimit: what do you need to fix?
[00:23] <yeats> oh - I see - you're not able to run it yet?
[00:23] <pitlimit> i want to have a shortcut to the application, yeats
[00:23] <pitlimit> i can ONLY run it if i have an existing vm ware image to click on
[00:23] <pitlimit> i cannot find how to run it otherwise
[00:23] <robertzaccour> any idea when unity is gonna be fixed?
[00:23] <pitlimit> i want an icon =p
[00:23] <robertzaccour> right now its pretty horrible
[00:24] <yeats> pitlimit: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu will allow you to create a custom launcher
[00:24] <yagoo> pitlimit, try turning on the debian submenu from the menu editor
[00:24] <yeats> pitlimit: do you know where it's installed?
[00:25] <yagoo> robertzaccour, what's horrible? Hagar the Horrible?
[00:25] <nived> nixnoob: pastebin.com/yYT0gw1s
[00:25]  * yagoo pulls out his saturday comics again
[00:25] <pitlimit> no yeats
[00:25] <pitlimit> i guess i could do a find?
[00:25] <yeats> pitlimit: yes, or 'locate vmware'
[00:26] <pitlimit> too many results yeats :(
[00:26] <hoxily> j #HDU
[00:26] <sarem> nixnoob u here?
[00:26] <yagoo> grep bin
[00:26] <nixnoob> I'm here
[00:26] <yeats> pitlimit: can you copy and paste the results at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and share the link with me?
[00:26] <robertzaccour> yagoo, Unity. one of my worst UI experiences ever
[00:26] <pitlimit> anyway, yeats, i found it in system preferences main menu
[00:27] <isolat3dsh33p> pitlimit, try 'locate vmware | grep bin
[00:27] <pitlimit> i clicked it (it was a folder)
[00:27] <sarem> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
[00:27] <sarem> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] (rev a2)
[00:27] <pitlimit> but it still doesn't show in appps
[00:27] <pitlimit> ok let me see what happens all thanks
[00:27] <sarem> this come from lspci | grep VGA
[00:27] <yeats> pitlimit: 'it' = vmware?
[00:27] <sarem> i have 2 VGA cards
[00:28] <nixnoob> sarem: and you have a monitor on each one?
[00:28] <Habstinat> How does this make any sense if I had a 100% bootable CD in my drive while this picture was taken? http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4131/5176276547_9c3054cda6_b.jpg
[00:28] <sarem> no i work on laptop asus k24j
[00:28] <nived> nixnoob: did you get my pastebin? just checking
[00:28] <pitlimit> years it was: "VMware ACE" but every time i go back, it's unchecked again
[00:28] <nixnoob> sarem: which one is the internal one for the laptop screen?
[00:28] <Habstinat> HDD0 is the one it boots from by the way.
[00:28] <pitlimit> that was for yeats
[00:29] <sarem> i think intel is internal and nvidia is discrete
[00:29] <nixnoob> nived: I got it, I'm not sure why that xorg.conf isn't working for you, but I'll paste a suggested one for you in a minute
[00:29] <sarem> sorry for my english ; )
[00:29] <sarem> nived which you VGA card?
[00:29] <pitlimit> yeats: http://pastebin.com/RkDDrhRw
[00:30] <nived> nvidia 6200.
[00:30] <chase> Hi guys, I have a few questions about linux if anyone has time. I have windows dual booted, and one thing I noticed that "LINE-IN" for my playstation 3 is not shown in sound options, so I can'y hear it at all!
[00:30] <nixnoob> sarem: that sounds probable, and it means you want to be using the intel driver, not the nvidia one unless you have a monitor plugged into the nvidia card :P
[00:30] <isolat3dsh33p> pitlimit, /usr/bin/vmware
[00:30] <yeats> pitlimit: the command you would enter in a custom launcher would probably be /usr/bin/vmware
[00:30] <shcherbak> Habstinat: change boot order (no usb stuff)
[00:30] <sarem> i don't know how use intel or nvidia
[00:30] <yeats> pitlimit: in fact, type that into a terminal to test it
[00:30] <pitlimit> isolat3dsh33p: or yeats, how do i make a custom launcher?
[00:30] <pitlimit> ok yeats
[00:31] <yeats> System -> Preferences -> Main Menu
[00:31] <yeats> pitlimit: ^^
[00:31] <pitlimit> ohhh
[00:31] <pitlimit> it works, yeats
[00:31] <isolat3dsh33p> :)
[00:31] <yeats> pitlimit: great
[00:32] <pitlimit> thank you very much yeats
[00:32] <pitlimit> i really appreciate your help
[00:32] <sarem> nived show me lspci | grep VGA command
[00:32] <chase> So is there a way to enable LINEIN audio in linux
[00:32] <sarem> slpci | grep VGA command
[00:33] <sarem> sorry
[00:33] <sarem> lspci | grep VGA
[00:33] <mExIoUs> sorry to be a pest, but need some advice please. have tried removing a package and get this http://pastie.org/1298361

[00:34] <Habstinat> *shcherbak
[00:34] <nived> sarem: nvidia geforce 6200 and an s3 prosavage8 km266/kl266
[00:34] <yeats> pitlimit: anytime ;-)
[00:35] <sarem> ok how u can change between these 2 VGA card?

[00:35] <Hakume1> IMy ubuntu install of 10.10 has switched to read only mode.
[00:35] <nived> sarem: no idea. perhaps in system
[00:36] <shcherbak> mExIoUs: have you triied purge instead of remove
[00:36] <Hakume1> Does anyone know how to fix that?
[00:36] <mExIoUs> mm, nope how do i do that?
[00:36] <sarem> NVIDIA + LINUX = MORE OF PROBLEMS

[00:36] <nikre> hi, i use ubuntu 10.10 and i have an asus ati 5770 gfx card(catalyst installed). i want to use dual monitors. my 2nd monitor is not recognized. any suggestions?
[00:36] <ubuntu4shane> there must be a file I edited, like .nanorc, or something, but I don't know what file it is, and I don't have a .nanorc file
[00:36] <Hakume> I've been doing a lot of uploading and deletion.
[00:36] <shcherbak> Habstinat: i guess it does not but looks much better (in other hand there may be conflict in bios)
[00:37] <shcherbak> mExIoUs: apt-get purge <stuff> with sudo
[00:37] <Habstinat> shcherbak: I'll try that anyways. So take out everything that starts with "USB"?
[00:38] <mExIoUs> cool, thanks shcherbak

[00:48] <mExIoUs> shcherbak: http://pastie.org/1298421
[00:48] <nived> WizMedic, isolat3dsh33p, yeats: i'm in gedit trying to save a file as xorg.conf in my x11 folder. i don't understand how to run that from the terminal. what do i do?
[00:49] <i3luefire> does anyone know how to find out what is taking up all my freespace?
[00:49] <Teh_Chaos> Hello, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my Windows machine, but I want to be able to dual-boot. I'm following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/switching/C/installing-partitioning.html, and right now I'm at the resizing partitions step.  My two questions are: 1) How big should the home partition be, and 2) when it says to make the swap partition twice the size of my memory, does that mean twice my RAM?
[00:50] <shcherbak> mExIoUs: are you running intrepid?
[00:50] <isolat3dsh33p> Hakume, how about your run dialog? Try `gksu "<command> <param>"`.
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> Teh_Chaos: at least 6Gb to be comfortable
[00:50] <WizMedic> Teh_Chaos... swap partition should be twice the memory you have in the puter....
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> Teh_Chaos: if you have more than 2Gb ram you only need 1xRAM amount
[00:50] <Teh_Chaos> ActionParsnip: 6GB for the home partition?
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Teh_Chaos: you only need 2xram if you have less than 2Gb ram
[00:51] <Guest71443> would that still apply if you have 12.8gigs or ram?
[00:51] <isolat3dsh33p> nived, `gksu gedit` and save the file from there.
[00:51] <Teh_Chaos> ActionParsnip: I have 4GB RAM, so should I make the swap partition 4GB or 8GB?
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Teh_Chaos: no, 6Gb for all, if you want seperate /home (a good idea) then you'll want at least 5Gb for / and as much space as you like for /home
[00:51] <nived> excellent, isolat3dsh33p, thank you
[00:51] <WizMedic> I have a problem trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Toshiba laptop. Here is the problem, I had win xp home on this laptop years ago and was tired of M$ and used RedHat years ago. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on the Laptop with no problems and worked just fine. Then 9.10 came out and I tried to do the upgrade on update manager and it failed. I tried to re-install 9.04 but the screen would just sit there and never could get it to wor
[00:51] <WizMedic> k. Anyways, I really didn't have the time to mess with it on this laptop, so just put it a side. Now I have a family member that needs to use a laptop at school and I have this Toshiba just sitting here with no OS on it. I downloaded and burned a CD-R of 10.10 and still the Toshiba would not install. It just has the Ubuntu screen and the four dots below it and just stops with a blank screen.
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> Teh_Chaos: 4Gb for swap then, if you arent interested in hibernate then you won't need one with 4gb ram
[00:52] <Hakume> I don't seem to be able to run anything that wasn't already running.
[00:52] <mExIoUs> shcherbak: yes i am, i am trying to upgrade it though from command as i don't want to have to do a clean install but can't because of that error
[00:52] <Teh_Chaos> Alright, thanks.
[00:52] <BrokenOne> is anyone familiar with any problems on installing 10.10 .... getting stuck on the "Who are you?" screen....running live cd to chat now everything seems to work just stops at that screen
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> BrokenOne: use ONLY lowercase letter in the username
[00:52] <isolat3dsh33p> Hakume, I'm sorry, that actually doesn't work.
[00:53] <isolat3dsh33p> Hakume, how about xterm?
[00:53] <Hakume> The only programs that work are the ones I have open right now.
[00:54] <shcherbak> mExIoUs: first try to fix repos. have you run apt-get update, if yes was there any good hit?
[00:54] <Hakume> I'll check, but I - xterm works.
[00:54] <isolat3dsh33p> Hakume, use xterm then. :)
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> Hakume: or install guake and use that :)
[00:55] <BrokenOne> ActionParsnip....Holly Crap man thanks....wow I feel stupid :-)   you rock !!!
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> BrokenOne: np man, its a known bug :)
[00:55] <BrokenOne> right on
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> BrokenOne: gets asked at least twice a day on launchpad :)
[00:55] <mExIoUs> shcherbak: yes tried that. i might have to jump in to the linuxmce chat as that is running on top of 8.10, hence i don't want to do a clean install as i have configured everything up. it's just now i am tryingt o update some stuff i get errors so read i can update to recent version of ubuntu but it just hates me haha
[00:57] <Hakume> chown : missing operand
[00:57] <aperson> I've been logged out randomly twice in the last hour.  what logs should I check to help figure out what happened?
[00:57] <Hakume> And I can't do anything due to read only os.
[00:58] <Hakume> hakume@hakume-desktop:~$ sudo chpwn
[00:58] <Hakume> [sudo] password for hakume:

[00:58] <Hakume> hakume@hakume-desktop:~$ sudo chown

[00:58] <Hakume> [sudo] password for hakume:
[00:58] <Hakume> sudo: Can't open /var/lib/sudo/hakume/0: Read-only file system
[00:58] <isolat3dsh33p> Hakume, chown lets you change the owner of a file, so you need to give the username and the file name you want to chown. 'man chown' to know more.
[00:58] <shcherbak> Hakume: remount
[00:59] <Hakume> I'll have to reboot first. I'll be back.
[00:59] <Jordan_U> Hakume: That usually means there has been a hardware problem with the drive. Back up anything important and pastebin the output of "dmesg" (if you can).
[00:59] <Jordan_U> Hakume: If you can, get the output of "dmesg" *before* you reboot.
[00:59] <i3luefire> hi. i am having free space issues. i installed ubuntu 10.10 on a 60GB partition like 3 days ago now it says i only have 2GB left. also on the disk usage analyzer it says that my home dir is taking up 47GB but nothing in it seems to take up that much space.
[00:59] <mExIoUs> shcherbak: any more suggestions? again sorry to be a pest
[00:59] <Hakume> Okay then.
[01:00] <i3luefire> can anyone help?
[01:00] <Jordan_U> Hakume: Errors that cause the FS to be remouted read only tend not to get logged to disk very well ;)
[01:00] <shcherbak> mExIoUs: unless you fing repos, not really
[01:01] <mExIoUs> ok well thanks for your help all the same
[01:02] <i3luefire> i am having free space issues. can anyone help me please?
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> i3luefire: remove old kernels is a great way to free space
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> i3luefire: also remove apps you don't use, also run: sudo apt-get clean
[01:03] <i3luefire> ActionParsnip, there are no old kernels
[01:04] <i3luefire> ActionParsnip, or apps i dont use its almost a fresh install
[01:04] <shcherbak> i3luefire: yes go to menu Application > Disk Usage Analizer. Then remove all stuff (including logs)
[01:04] <Teh_Chaos> Hey guys, I'm back. I tried to repartition my drive to make space for Ubuntu, but after shrinking the Windows partition, it says that my free space is unusable, and there's no option for me to change it. How do I make that space useable so I can install Ubuntu in it?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> i3luefire: also install bleachbit, close as many apps as you can and run it as user and root to clean files (watch options for browser or it'll cleat settings you want as avoid options which say they will take a long time
[01:05] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: how many partitions do you have?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> i3luefire: also you can remove openoffice and install abiword if you only need a word processor
[01:05] <WizMedic> I have a problem trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Toshiba laptop.

[01:05] <rage> Hi there, in ifconfig it displays RX bytes and TX bytes for each interface. Over what time period is that recorded for? since the interface was brought up?
[01:05] <izinucs> Teh_Chaos: it basically doesn't have a partition set.. on install it will take care of that for you.
[01:05] <KruyKaze> hi everyone, how do i run a script in a terminal in the background ? i don't need to see scrolling text
[01:06] <ilab> What the heck . I just customized an ubuntu livecd and remade the iso. I just removed a bunch of packages, but now my remade iso is over 2 gigs!!!!! the original was under 700mb
[01:06] <i3luefire> shcherbak, ActionParsnip, the disk usage analyzer says that my home dir has 47GB used but i cant find more than like 5GB of it
[01:06] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: I have the windows partition and 2 partitions that came with the computer (I know 1 is backup, not quite sure what the other is, it's kinda small and just says "system"
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> ilab: did you clean the debs out which you used to upgrade / install apps etc?
[01:07] <Teh_Chaos> izinucs: But it won't let me install unless I give it a partition to install into.
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> ilab: did you add codecsw etc?
[01:07] <rage> KruyKaze: screen is a good way to do things like that. Run screen, start your script, press ctrl-a ctrl-d to put the screen in the background. Type screen -r to resume the screen into the foreground
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> i3luefire: probably temp stuff, bleachbit will sort that, also your emails may use a lot with attachments
[01:07] <Hakume> I can't get the full output in xterm.
[01:08] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and the exact error message you're getting?
[01:08] <shcherbak> i3luefire: any particular folder?
[01:08] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: you can only have a max of 4 base or primary partitions, maybe that is the issue?
[01:08] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: "sudo parted -1"? I'm not sure what you're talking about.
[01:08] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Maybe, but I only have 3...
[01:09] <KruyKaze> rage, thanks no way to automate that?
[01:09] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: Not you were going to, but a lot of people make this mistake, do *not* delete the system partition. It's required for windows to boot.
[01:09] <i3luefire> shcherbak, no thats what im saying the home dir is eating up 47GB but when u look inside it there is only like 5GB visible
[01:09] <izinucs> Teh_Chaos: you could boot to the live cd and use the partitioning tool there to set the partition.. If you already 4 partitions (not including the freed space) then you're maxed out unless one of those is an extended partition
[01:09] <rage> KruyKaze: For an automated solution you probably want nohup
[01:09] <ilab> ActionParsnip: yeah I cleaned dkpg, /tmp, .bash_history, etc . I didn't add anything I just removed stuff
[01:09] <i3luefire> ActionParsnip, ty i will try that
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> i3luefire: yes lots will be hidden
[01:09] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: You should enter that in a terminal...
[01:09] <Jordan_U> !terminal | Teh_Chaos
[01:10] <shcherbak> KruyKaze: script & and disown %1 and close terminal
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> ilab: then i suggest you re-customixe and see where the space is being useed
[01:10] <KruyKaze> thank you
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> i3luefire: like ~/.mozilla if you use firefox will have all the temp internet files
[01:10] <rage> Hi there, in ifconfig it displays RX bytes and TX bytes for each interface. Over what time period is that recorded for? since the interface was brought up?
[01:10] <Teh_Chaos> izinucs: Well, here was my whole procedure. I set up a USB drive for installation, then ran that. My problem is during installation. I have 3 partition, so in the installer I resize my Windows partition to make free space, but then that free space is unusable.
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> rage: yes
[01:11] <i3luefire> ActionParsnip, 49MB thats it
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> i3luefire: its that sort of thing
[01:12] <izinucs> Teh_Chaos: any hidden partitions on the drive from the MFGR?
[01:12] <rage> ActionParsnip: I dont suppose you know if its possible to get an interfaces up time
[01:12] <rage> ?
[01:12] <shcherbak> i3luefire: ok, so 100% use /home how it breaks down in usage analizer? also try to read man ls
[01:12] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: Here is my output from that console command: Model: ATA Hitachi HTS72505 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 500GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos  Number  Start   End    Size    Type     File system  Flags  1      1049kB  210MB  209MB   primary  ntfs         boot  2      210MB   462GB  461GB   primary  ntfs  3      476GB   500GB  24.4GB  primary  ntfs  4      500GB   500GB  108MB   primary  fat32     
[01:13] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | Teh_Chaos
[01:13] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: it is a bit hard to read without the pastebin, but it looks like you have 4
[01:13] <i3luefire> shcherbak, ActionParsnip, i found it. it was '.xsession-errors.old'
[01:14] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Sorry, I didn't know about pastebin, Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532058/
[01:14] <antihc3> is there a way to set the screen resolution when running kexec
[01:14] <ilab> ActionParsnip: Is it possible somethign went wrong w/ the squashfs
[01:14] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: Do you know the difference between primary, extended, and logical partitions?
[01:14] <i3luefire> shcherbak, ActionParsnip, it was 45GB! omg. i dont know why tho. i just installed like 2 days ago
[01:15] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: Sort of. I know that I can only have a certain number of primary partitions, but if I make a partition extended I can have logical partitions in it (up to 2, i think)
[01:15] <samil> hi to all
[01:15] <xrdodrx> samil, hi.
[01:15] <izinucs> Teh_Chaos: 3 primaries and one extended.. under the extended you can have several.
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> ilab: not sure, sounds likely. I'd investigate where the space it used
[01:16] <izinucs> Teh_Chaos: ubuntu needs a minimum of 2 partitions
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> rage: not finding anything, sorry
[01:16] <i3luefire> ActionParsnip, isnt there some way to get like the last 5kb of the file to open in gedit without opening the whole thing?
[01:16] <samil> i have sound on computer back port but not on front jack  for headphones who mey i ask for help
[01:16] <shcherbak> i3luefire: plenty of errs?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> rage: you could read dmesg to see when it came up and do some maths
[01:16] <rage> ActionParsnip: yeah me neither, thanks
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> i3luefire: run:   head filename
[01:17] <i3luefire> shcherbak, i guess so.
[01:17] <Teh_Chaos> izinucs: Alright...is there a way to tell what my partitions are? I know one is the small system one, one is my primary storage (C:\), and one is my backup (it's an HP computer)
[01:17] <m_fulder> hey
[01:17] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: That's correct, though you can have any number of logical parititions within an extended partition (not just 2).
[01:17] <m_fulder> is there a way of recover deleted files in ubuntu??
[01:17] <Teh_Chaos> but that last one (I think it's the FAT32 one) I don't know what that is
[01:17] <jrib> m_fulder: yes, go to the trash and restore them
[01:18] <m_fulder> but if they were deleted via FTP :(?
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> m_fulder: use your backups
[01:18] <jrib> !recover | m_fulder
[01:18] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: The problem is that you currently have 4 partitions, and they're all primary.
[01:18] <samil> !sound
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> m_fulder: you may get lucky with testdisk, but the data may be damaged, backups are going to be your best bet
[01:18] <izinucs> Teh_Chaos: looks like Jordan_U 's got it handled.. too many voices can make it confusing.
[01:19] <m_fulder> hm but I don't think I ever did a backup on my files .. are there some auto backupping in ubuntu?
[01:19] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: Is there a way to tell which partitions are what, and if I can get rid of any? If it helps, here's my output again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532058/
[01:19] <jrib> m_fulder: no, make this the instance you begin making regular backups
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> m_fulder: no backup == data is disposable
[01:19] <rage> ActionParsnip: dmesg doesnt have specific dates. I assume 210.710240 means 210 seconds into boot?
[01:19] <m_fulder> ok will do :(
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> rage: yeah thats seconds since boot
[01:20] <nixnoob> need sleep. misread "rage" as "rape"
[01:20]  * nixnoob beats compaq viciously
[01:20] <rage> ActionParsnip: Okay, the ifconfig RX/TX bytes is totally inaccurate then. :-/ this server has transmitted terabytes of data since the interface was brought up last
[01:22] <Teh_Chaos> How do I take a screenshot in Ubuntu?
[01:22] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | Teh_Chaos
[01:22] <Mar10> hi - does anyone know how to mount an array drive?  I'm getting a message - unable to mount location. thanks
[01:23] <stevo_> Teh_Chaos, you can copy and paste after using the print screen button into your favorite image editor
[01:23] <Fapton_Calcon> Teh Chaos: PrtScn (to the right of F12)
[01:23] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: If you're still there, here's a screenshot of my install program: http://imagebin.org/123269
[01:24] <Teh_Chaos> I put the free space back into my C: partition(the largest one)
[01:24] <edbian> How can I delete all of my compiz settings?  The .compiz folder only has some session file in it
[01:25] <stevo_> im back and can help people with JACK problems
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> edbian: is there one in ~/.config
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> edbian: or in .gnome etc?
[01:25] <mExIoUs> shcherbak: i resolved to issue >.< for anyone experiencing the same http://pastie.org/1298489
[01:25] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: I believe you need to delete a partition, which is hard to give advice for
[01:26] <Kevin147> Hi. I have a Lenovo G550 Laptop, and its 64 bit. I am having one problem with it, the touchpad, the thing that makes it so you can scroll down a page, it don't work..how can I fix this
[01:26] <Kevin147> ?
[01:26] <edbian> ActionParsnip, found it in .config.  Thanks a bunch!
[01:26] <stevo_> Teh_Chaos, you have come to the right place
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> edbian: also try: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz
[01:26] <rage> edbian: ActionParsnip: compiz stores its settings in gconf
[01:26] <Quantum_Ion> Kevin147, get an external mouse
[01:26] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: Unfortunately, fixing this type of problem can often be pretty complicated. It's unfortunate that manufacturers ship computers setup this way, when they could just as easily set it up with logical partitions.
[01:26] <[V13]Axel> Kevin147: It should, by default, make you scroll; Tried moving your finger to the right of the pad?
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> rage: seems to ;) just found that online
[01:26] <Kevin147> Quantum_Ion: theres no way to fix it so it works on the touchpad?
[01:27] <Quantum_Ion> Kevin147, it could be a glitch
[01:27] <Kevin147> My friend has the SAME laptop, and it works on his, and it worked on mine until I installed Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit
[01:27] <mExIoUs> shcherbak: btw i added those repos to sources.list amd bobs ya uncle!
[01:27] <Kevin147> And he has Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit also..
[01:27] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Yeah, you guys said that I could only have 4 partitions, I think that the NTFS partitions are the ones that I need, is there a way to know what the FAT32 one is? What's the difference between FAT32 and NTFS?
[01:27] <Quantum_Ion> Kevin147, Go back to 10.04 its more stable
[01:28] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: There is a way to install Ubuntu without repartitioning called wubi, though it's often not recommended. How much time/effort are you willing to spend to get a "proper" Ubuntu install?
[01:28] <[V13]Axel> Teh_Chaos: FAT32 uses a File Allocation Table, and NTFS allows for file permissions.
[01:28] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: fat32 is just an older format, compatible with windows 95 and older versions of linux
[01:28] <stevo_> Teh_Chaos, wubi is on every live cd now
[01:28] <Kevin147> Quantum_Ion: I'll just deal with it I guess...I have to many personal files and music on this to re-do it all over again. Thanks anyway.
[01:28] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: I tried using Wubi, but it kept saying that it failed due to lack of permissions, even though I let it through the firewall, ran as admin, all that. So I resorted to installing it this way.
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> ChogyDan: newer versions can access fat32 too
[01:29] <shcherbak> mExIoUs: with update and insatll -f you should be good, next happy 8.10 user
[01:29] <stevo_> Teh_Chaos, NTFS can store up to 10 exabytes per file while fat32 can only do 4gigs
[01:29] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: can you get a listing of what is in the partition?
[01:29] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: What do you mean, what is in the partition?
[01:29] <nixnoob> stevo_: do you know off-hand how large a file ext2 can handle?
[01:29] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: And which partition?
[01:29] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: You can see what files each partition contains by browsing them from Places > Computer.
[01:30] <stevo_> nixnoob, i think it might be 2 Tb but i can defintately be wrong
[01:30] <nixnoob> well, I suppose that'll do... after all, I've only got a 1 TB hard drive.
[01:30] <ChogyDan> ActionParsnip: of course, of course
[01:31] <stevo_> just per file, like ultra mega large files
[01:31] <stittel> Hi! I try to restore the configuration for wireless networks from a backup (backup is 9.04, the system on which it is restored is 10.04). I already restored ~/gconf/system/networking which seems to contain relevant files. Still, the networks don't show up. Do I need to issue some command to make gconf update from the files? Or am I missing something else?
[01:31] <nixnoob> I wonder who apart from the US library of congress would even have close to an exabyte of storage capacity
[01:31] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: I'm not really sure what's what, so here's a screenshot of Computer: http://imagebin.org/123273 and a screenshot of my installer window (which has the partitions on it): http://imagebin.org/123269
[01:32] <stevo_> nixnoob youtube of course
[01:32] <nixnoob> highly doubtful
[01:32] <jshsu> need help getting mouse working, getting 'PreInit returned NULL for "Logitech USB Receiver"', tried creating a udev rule but it doesn't seem to use it
[01:32] <stevo_> nixnoob, and wikipedia
[01:32] <nixnoob> maybe combined
[01:32] <izinucs> nixnoob: world scientific consortiums that have databases connected around the world.. might

[01:33] <Jasuuki> Hey guys I am using cups for printer sharing on my server, I am getting drivers for my HL-2140 series printer, do i get the cupswrapper or the LPR deb for the driver install?
[01:33] <stevo_> nixnoob, in the futute, an exabyte is gonna be what we consider as small as a gigabte
[01:33] <izinucs> nixnoob: that's what I was thinking of but couldn't remember the nmae
[01:33] <stevo_> nixnoob, with all of the bioengineering about to happen
[01:34] <[V13]Axel> nixnoob: The estimated size of the world's digital content is roughly 900 Exabytes.
[01:35] <stevo_> [V13]Axel, including the darknet?
[01:35] <nixnoob> about to happen? they've already started on that
[01:35] <[V13]Axel> stevo_: Supposedly.
[01:35] <nixnoob> darknet? do you mean NIPPURnet, SIPPURnet, JWICS, or what?
[01:35] <stevo_> nixnoob, i mean more of it, sorta like the folding at home databases
[01:35] <nixnoob> ah
[01:36] <stevo_> nixnoob, everything darknet is unknown, and can only be accessed by few people, and not google
[01:36] <nixnoob> can you define darknet any better? or would NSAnet come under that heading too, feasibly?
[01:36] <stevo_> nixnoob, freenet is a lot like darknet, if it was ip to ip through some peer stuff
[01:36] <[V13]Axel> stevo_: nixnoob: The darknet is as simple as this: Any storage not connected to the internet in any way whatsoever.
[01:37] <nixnoob> ahhh
[01:37] <plainas> So i created this small python gtk application with a couple of global keybinds (no visible GUI). I have just tested debhelper and sucessfully created a package. Now I would like to know how to I add an entry to a desktop session in the installation process
[01:37] <nixnoob> well, I know of several global "internets" that have varying degrees of connectivity to the public one, including none in some cases.
[01:37] <nixnoob> such as JWICS, and NSAnet
[01:38] <[V13]Axel> nixnoob: And if you know of them, the estimators probably do too.
[01:38] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: I've been googlin, and I can't figure out what that lba partition is
[01:38] <rkokkelk> is there an CLI app for creating/editing .doc / .odt ?
[01:38] <nixnoob> well I know OF them, but access to them is insanely highly restricted... some of them have only one-way links
[01:38] <Teh_Chaos> I don't mean to be rude, but I'm still looking for help. Here is a screenshot of Computer: http://imagebin.org/123273 and of my Partitions (as shown in the Installer): http://imagebin.org/123269 I can't view the sizes of the drives in Computer, so I can't really tell what partitions they correspond to.
[01:39] <share> How do I find which user is running a specific program?
[01:39] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: What do you mean lba partition?
[01:39] <rkokkelk> share: use top, terminal application should list every process to an user
[01:39] <glitchd> all of a sudden my wireless wont connect..??
[01:40] <CaneToad> with Ubuntu One, is choosing "Synchronize this folder" actually meant to do something?  Choosing it seems to do nothing, and you can choose it again and again and again and still not notice anything that it is actually doing.
[01:40] <[V13]Axel> nixnoob: When it comes to network traffic, there IS no "one-way." There are always SYN and ACK messages; Synchronize, and acknowledgements.
[01:40] <stittel> Or asked differently: How do I restore a part of the gconf configuration from files?
[01:40] <nixnoob> [V13]Axel: not quite true ;)
[01:40] <[thor]> share: you can also use "ps -AU >username<"
[01:40] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: Can you run "sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/" in a terminal, then run "ls /mnt/" and pastebin the output?
[01:41] <nixnoob> there are devices that don't acknowledge
[01:41] <rkokkelk> Canetoad: It should actually look like its doing nothing, it just synchronizes the folder with the online folder on ubuntu one
[01:41] <George_e> Can anyone tell me what license the Ubuntu pinwheel animated icon is licensed under and where I can find more information on it?
[01:41] <nixnoob> specialized "black boxes", that are very well protected
[01:41] <stevo_> CaneToad, are you signed up with your computer for ubuntu one
[01:41] <glitchd> can anyone help me figure out why my wireless isnt connecting all of a sudden
[01:41] <CaneToad> stevo_: yup all logged in
[01:41] <share> im trying to run oident
[01:41] <rkokkelk> is there an CLI app for creating/editing .doc / .odt ?
[01:41] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: I'm not going to bother w/ pastebin becase it's so small: "Hewlett-Packard  $RECYCLE.BIN"
[01:42] <[V13]Axel> nixnoob: Actually, it IS true. In order to see what you're accessing, you need some form of acknowledgements. Even when using a low-overhead protocol like UDP, you have to have something replying, or you're not going to see results from whatever end you're getting at.
[01:42] <stevo_> synchronize is supposed to upload to the cloud CaneToad
[01:42] <nixnoob> you know you can analyze the information travelling through a router by capturing the LED flashes?
[01:42] <Teh_Chaos> So it's my Recycle Bin? But I emptied it out...
[01:42] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: Sorry, I need to leave for a few minutes. I'll be back.
[01:42] <Fapton_Calcon> Anyone know how to delete terminal command history via a script?

[01:42] <Stam> Does anyone know where to get a windows 2000 theme for ubuntu
[01:42] <nixnoob> [V13]Axel: there are devices that don't. I don't know HOW, but I know they exist.
[01:42] <CaneToad> rkokkelk/stevo_: no network activity either, and logging on to the web based ubuntu one does not show those folders at all
[01:42] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: how about `ls /mnt/*`
[01:43] <dave3333> can someone help me with adding a patch to a PKGBUILD list. im not sure where my PKBUILD list is
[01:43] <CaneToad> stevo_: I can bring up ubuntu one preferences and it is connecting
[01:43] <Fapton_Calcon> Stam: http://gnome-look.org/
[01:43] <glitchd> how can i restart my network?
[01:43] <stevo_> CaneToad, ubuntuone is still quite flawed, and i dont reccommend you use it
[01:43] <Stam> fapton I looked there
[01:43] <[V13]Axel> Ah, yes. However, in order to be USEFUL, they must have some form of two-way. It may not be at the same time(That's called half-duplex.), but there MUST exist some form of acknoledgement.
[01:43] <[thor]> share: ps -AU oident
[01:43] <stevo_> CaneToad, that's my opinion
[01:43] <Stam> I tried installing that one and it said its not a vailid theme
[01:43] <Fapton_Calcon> Stam: Not sure, but I have no clue why you'd want a Windows 2000 theme anyway XD
[01:43] <CaneToad> stevo_: hmm yeah it seems broken, might try dropbox
[01:44] <Stam> haha
[01:44] <glitchd> does anyone know anything bout wireless in ubuntu 10.04?
[01:44] <Fapton_Calcon> Stam: Send me the link?
[01:44] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532066/
[01:44] <Stam> ok fapton
[01:44] <[V13]Axel> glitchd: Depends on what you're asking.
[01:44] <stevo_> CaneToad, just wait until 11.04
[01:45] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, all of a sudden my wireless wont connect
[01:45] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, but it was working about an hour or so ago
[01:45] <[V13]Axel> glitchd: All of a sudden? What were you doing when this happened?
[01:45] <share> [thor]: that doesnt work
[01:45] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, nothing, i tuned my computer on
[01:45] <[V13]Axel> Hmmm... Have you tried restarting? Sometimes the hardware doesn't connect.

[01:46] <stevo_> glitchd, try it out
[01:46] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, i think i need to restart the network
[01:47] <stevo_> glitchd, nothing to lose
[01:47] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, i have no clue how tho
[01:47] <[thor]> share: i'm not entirely sure i know what you want to do, you were asking about how to find which user is running a specific app?

[01:47] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, i know that my home network in my house is fine
[01:48] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, its the laptop, or just linux
[01:48] <[V13]Axel> You can always right-click the networking icon, and then uncheck "enable networking" and then do the inverse.
[01:48] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, im on my other laptop and its connecting just fine
[01:48] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, and i already restarted 3-4 times
[01:48] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: what kind of computer is this?
[01:48] <stevo_> glitchd, have you tried rebooting the laptop itself?
[01:48] <Stam> fapton_calcon any luck?
[01:48] <[V13]Axel> glitchd: You can always right-click the networking icon, and then uncheck 'enable networking' and then do the inverse.
[01:49] <[V13]Axel> stevo_: That's what he meant.
[01:49] <Fapton_Calcon> Stam: Hmmm, 1 sec.
[01:49] <glitchd> stevo_, several times already, also did the shutdown option
[01:49] <Stam> ok
[01:49] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: It's an HP laptop, the model is Pavilion dv7-4071nr
[01:49] <stevo_> glitchd, okay
[01:49] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, did that a few times also
[01:49] <[V13]Axel> glitchd: Are there any restricted drivers you need to enable for it to work?
[01:49] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: hmmm, what are on the other partitions?
[01:49] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, not that i know of
[01:50] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, it was working less than an hour ao
[01:50] <glitchd> *ago
[01:50] <[V13]Axel> glitchd: Hmm..... I'm trying to think of possible causes.
[01:50] <Fapton_Calcon> Stam: I'm pretty sure that whole upload was a joke. It only contains some PNG's, lol.
[01:50] <[V13]Axel> glitchd: Try shutting down, removing the battery, waiting for 15-20 seconds, and then booting to production again.
[01:50] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, ok
[01:50] <[thor]> glitchd: no installs or apt updates in that time?
[01:50] <glitchd> [V13]Axel, ok
[01:50] <glitchd> [thor], none
[01:51] <Stam> So it is a fake?
[01:51] <Stam> Ir cannot load?

[01:54] <mhall119> are there any official AMIs for Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 server?
[01:54] <mhollisjr> quick question,  I'm in the process of changing my /home partition to a new raid that will be on the same drive as the current /home (before backup)  My question is, will X continue to function without access to my proper home directory for an hour or so?
[01:54] <zk__> hello
[01:54] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: How much space is used on my storage partition? The drive is full, my partitons take up all the alloted space, but the 2nd partition has about 100GB I can cut off to put towards other things
[01:54] <blackshirt> mikha: just describe your problem ..
[01:55] <WizMedic> I have a problem trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Toshiba laptop. Here is the problem, I had win xp home on this laptop years ago and was tired of M$ and used RedHat years ago. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on the Laptop with no problems and worked just fine. Then 9.10 came out and I tried to do the upgrade on update manager and it failed. I tried to re-install 9.04 but the screen would just sit there and never could get it to
[01:55] <WizMedic>        work. Anyways, I really didn't have the time to mess with it on this laptop, so just put it a side. Now I have a family member that needs to use a laptop at school and I have this Toshiba just sitting here with no OS on it. I downloaded and burned a CD-R of 10.10 and still the Toshiba would not install. It just has the Ubuntu screen and the four dots below it and just stops with a blank screen.
[01:55] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: I mean, how much space is actually used
[01:55] <Fapton_Calcon> Stam: An XP theme would be easier to find
[01:55] <zk__> i'm trying to install cedega 7 and it says i need python2.4-dbus...but there is no package with this name...there is python-dbus and i have this one installed
[01:55] <mikha_> i cant open internet not in firefox or chromium
[01:55] <mikha_> pidgin is working fine
[01:55] <modec> hi guys, I am trying to edit the file /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope and when I save it get E667 Fsync failed
[01:55] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Well, all of it, so I guess 500GB? But like I said the 2nd partition has a little over 100GB I can make free space out of.
[01:56] <ghostnik11> I just installed a 1 gb ram in my second remaining ram slot into my laptop, i now have 2 gb, how can i check that i have 2 gb in terminal
[01:56] <blackshirt> mikha_: are your internet connection on problem?
[01:56] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: you have 500GB of stuff on that partition?
[01:56] <mikha_> not at all in my other laptop
[01:56] <mikha_> it is working fine
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: free -m
[01:56] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Which partition are you referring to? I'm a bit confused...
[01:56] <dave33333> does anyone know where my PKGBUILD list is?
[01:56] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: thanks
[01:56] <dave33333> i seem to have misplaced it
[01:57] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: how much of the 462GB is used on the 462GB partition, ie, number 2
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: it's the total colomn, top value
[01:57] <Bawn> i can help with JACK problems
[01:57] <[V13]Axel> modec: Did you use sudo?
[01:57] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: 340589MB, the installer says
[01:57] <Fapton_Calcon> I need help making a script to delete terminal history that I'll place within the .bashrc file
[01:57] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: is that where windows is installed?
[01:58] <CodeWar> 10.10 ... thank God it fixed the window cant pan two screens issue!! perhaps it was a gnome fix
[01:58] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: That's my C:\ drive and I don't have any other drives that didn't come with the computer, so I assume so. It's got all Windows' files in it, I'm pretty sure.
[01:58] <Bawn> i can help with JACK problems you have 30 seconds to ask a question before i leave
[01:58] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: It has the Windows folder in it, so yeah, it must be the partition with Windows in it.
[01:58] <glitchd>  no one has any other ideas why my wireless wont connect??

[02:01] <mikha_> any idea why firefox nor chromium is working?
[02:01] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, so does the wireless applet in the panel
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: thats why then, some is being used as video ram

[02:01] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: thanks
[02:01] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: yeah, you know, I don't know.  I mean, you have to delete one of the partitions to go forward.  You could back up the partition, and then try to recreate it with the same files, but I don't know if that will work.  Those partitions mights be needed for booting if it is an old computer, or updating the bios (the last one).  You may have to call HP support on this one.  Or maybe you could try backing up and deletin
[02:02] <owner> and I need help

[02:03] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, eth1 i think
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: try:  sudo iwlist scan | head -n 25    what is the name. examples are wlan0 ath0 etc
[02:04] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Yeah...I don't know how much calling HP Tech Support will accomplish...Is there any way to tell from those outputs: partition 1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532067/, partition 2: (Didn't post it, because it's huge, but that's my C:\ drive, I recognize the folders), partiton 3: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532069/, and partition 4: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532066/

[02:04] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: what each partition is?
[02:04] <owner> wait... I will check
[02:04] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: So I can know if any are safe to delete?
[02:04] <nived> when I start up my ubuntu 10.10, it says i'm missing the firmware for my broadcom wireless card and drops me into the command line. also, X won't start. This may or may not be related to my NVIDIA drivers. I'm totally lost at this point, can anyone help me?
[02:05] <spetrea-home> when I try to suspend my ubuntu maverick, it locks up my machine with a prompt clipping ...

[02:05] <spetrea-home> what should I do ?
[02:05] <glitchd> i have nm-applet installed i believe
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: if nm isn't cutting it, wicd is a good alternative
[02:05] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: it looks like the 1st is a bootable partition, maybe for a custom HP mini OS, 2 is your main partition, 3 looks like the recovery partition  (the most expendable maybe, I don't care about recovering windows though...)  4 looks like it has something to do with bios updates.
[02:06] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, i like nm
[02:06] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, i never have problems
[02:06] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, this is the first

[02:06] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, and i need to fix it because im going out of town tonight
[02:07] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Custom HP mini OS? I think I do remember something like that from the documentation...Do you know if I delete that (I never use it, so I don't care about it) if that would have any impact on my other partitions, or do partitions only read from themselves? And is there a way to back up that partition on an external drive (just in case)?

[02:11] <learning> :) time to sleep i guess
[02:11] <ourizo> xD
[02:11] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: it might be like an instant on media playing function.  So you can play mp3s or movies without having to boot.  _But_, I am very unsure.  It could also be a boot partition.  You should be able to just copy the files somewhere, and then delete the partition.  If it doesn't work out, just put the partitions back the way they were, and then copy back the files
[02:11] <Wally> just quickly, whats another way to copy a directory using the terminal?
[02:11] <owner> thanks
[02:11] <Wally> I know cp can be used somehow..
[02:12] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: You won't be able to remove, or convert to logical, any of those partitions without losing the HP recovery and BIOS update utilities or your main windows install.
[02:12] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Yeah, that's exactly what it is, nice guess :) How do I copy the files? I can't access it from within Windows to my knowledge, but I might be wrong.
[02:12] <wedwo-> owner, see if this helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?trtl8188Su=1594535
[02:13] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: through the Computer window you had open earlier
[02:13] <Galindar> Teh_Chaos: you might be able to access it from ubuntu live cd? not sure
[02:14] <mikha_> any idea why i cant access the net in firefox ?
[02:14] <glitchd> i cant get wireless to connect!!!ughhhhhhhhhhhhh
[02:14] <Big_Al> hello
[02:14] <xscroll> hi!
[02:14] <xscroll> is there an ubuntu store to buy apps?
[02:14] <Big_Al> Question about 10.10
[02:15] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: That is, without asking HP.
[02:15] <xangua> xscroll: the sooftware center will incluide paid apps in a close future, there are only 2 or 3 at the moment i think
[02:15] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Oh goodness...Now all it shows is my File System (for Ubuntu), and my CD drive...those other partitions are gone...
[02:15] <Stam> I just did a fresh install on ubunu and it says warning I only have 140mb remaining on this computer
[02:15] <Stam> when I have 242GB
[02:15] <Big_Al> New to Ubuntu...when I uploaded the latest version, 10.10, the fonts on firefox are messed up. Any ideas?
[02:15] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Could that be a result of all that mounting?
[02:16] <sagaci> Stam: did you only use a small partition
[02:16] <xangua> Stam: but how may space did you give to the ubuntu partition(s) ¿¿
[02:16] <xscroll> xangua: will that be in ubuntu 10.10 only, or also on 10.04?
[02:16] <Stam> I asked it to use all
[02:16] <xangua> xscroll: no idea
[02:16] <Squarism> can one resize windows using keyboard?
[02:16] <Big_Al> 10.10 only I think.
[02:16] <Stam> I typed in the full ammount
[02:16] <CharlieSu> How does the Gem load path work in Ruby?  I have Ubuntu installed and upgraded ruby to 1.9.1 and rubygems to 1.9.1 but my application can't find my installed gem.
[02:16] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: yeah, maybe.  Can you unmount them?  it would be just sudo umount /mnt I believe
[02:17] <Stam> Can I make the partition bigger xangua
[02:17] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: It says sudo unmount is not a command
[02:17] <xscroll> Big_Al: do you know where the news about that is?
[02:18] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, any ideas??
[02:18] <Ifur> Teh_Chaos: you dont lose the partition table by mounting and unmounting
[02:18] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: umount! sorry
[02:18] <xangua> Stam: yes, with gparted (ubunu live cd or gparted live cd)
[02:18] <Big_Al> xscroll: no, news?
[02:18] <Big_Al> xscroll: is it a common issue?
[02:18] <Ifur> Teh_Chaos: if you want to look at the health of the disk, use smartctl -a /dev/sdX
[02:19] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Same thing. My exact command is: sudo unmount! /mnt/
[02:19] <xscroll> Big_Al: the news about software center.  I'm looking at the wiki page now for it
[02:19] <Stam> xangua wouldn't that be a reinstall?
[02:19] <Ifur> Teh_Chaos: sudo umount, as the guy said
[02:19] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: not u'n'mount, just u''mount, or umount
[02:19] <xangua> Stam:  no
[02:19] <Teh_Chaos> Oh, umount, not unmount...sorry
[02:19] <Big_Al> xscroll: can you give me the link?
[02:19] <kraehe> just a short question: is http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download a live CD or just an installer? I need to repair a boot of an older linux system.
[02:19] <glitchd> is there a way to reset wireless??
[02:20] <xscroll> Big_Al: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Software_Center
[02:20] <xangua> what exactly do you want Stam, how much space did you give to ubuntu partition(s) ¿
[02:20] <papna-work> I have a Gnome terminal window (this one, in fact) where when I type Cyrillic characters are used. How can I fix that?
[02:20] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: I unmounted it, but they still don't show up. The installer still says they're there, but Computer doesn't.
[02:20] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: did you close and open the window again?
[02:21] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Oh wait, now it's saying though (in the installer) that the space taken up is unknown...
[02:21] <xscroll> looks like there is already a dvd player for sale in app center
[02:21] <Stam> I wanted the whol HD
[02:21] <Stam> the whole thing
[02:21] <Big_Al> xscroll: this page is going to tell me about the font issues?
[02:21] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Upon reverting, it now knows the space taken for the 3rd and 4th partitions, but not 1st and 2nd
[02:22] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Is there a way to see everything I have mounted?
[02:22] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: mount
[02:22] <xscroll> Big_Al: you asked me about a link for app center and I gave you a link
[02:23] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Is there a way to unmount everything at once?
[02:23] <glitchd> dammit!!!!!!!!! can someone help me fix my wireless????? it was working fine earlier then it just stopped!!
[02:23] <Big_Al> xscroll:  Sorry, I was looking to see if someone knew about the broken up fonts I get.  It oonly started when I upgraded to 10.10.
[02:23] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: reboot?
[02:25] <share> sudo chmod a+x /home
[02:25] <Big_Al> xscroll: Also, I'm very new to Ubuntu, so i'm still learning (if I sound ignorant it's because I am...on this issue).
[02:25] <share> what this does?
[02:25] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Well, I went through and unmounted all the partitions I mounted earlier and now they're all showing up in both Computer and the install, and I can see the space usage on each in install. How do I tell which one of the partitions shown in Computer is Partition 1 (the one with HP's custom media OS)?
[02:25] <papna-work> арт
[02:25] <xscroll> Big_Al: it may be a bug - if you file a bug it may get fixed sooner
[02:26] <glitchd> help someone!!!
[02:26] <Sniffy> anyone managed to get the flash plugin for firefox to work?
[02:26] <share> Sniffy: yes
[02:26] <Sniffy> how
[02:26] <xscroll> Sniffy: yes, you apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree iirc
[02:26] <gidimanunaki> Um, which version of Ubuntu, 32 or 64, etc.?
[02:26] <gartral|p> glitchd: can't really help till you explain what's going on
[02:26] <Big_Al> xscroll: thanks, I'll try that.  Have you seen what I'm talking about?
[02:26] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: look in the Boot folder, see if you see a bunch of xx-XX files
[02:27] <xscroll> Big_Al: no, I haven't tried 10.10 yet
[02:27] <xangua> Sniffy: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[02:27] <glitchd> gartral|p, ok
[02:27] <share> Sniffy: i just open youtube and install the plugin lol
[02:27] <glitchd> gartral|p, my wireless all of a sudden wont connect to my network
[02:27] <Wally> finally worked out what was wrong.. stupid pspdev svn
[02:27] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Boot folder? I can't access any of the partitions except the File System for Ubuntu
[02:27] <Sniffy> i've done that stuff and it still says i need to upgrade on youtube
[02:27] <Sniffy> rather confused
[02:27] <share> "sudo chmod a+x /home" what is "a" for and +x?
[02:27] <glitchd> gartral|p, i was working fine a few hours ago
[02:27] <Big_Al> xscroll:  Thanks...
[02:28] <Sniffy> any other browser i can try?
[02:28] <share> Sniffy: restart firefox?
[02:28] <Sniffy> i have
[02:28] <share> Sniffy: go to Tools > Addons
[02:28] <share> check if flash is disabled
[02:28] <share> tools addons plugins
[02:28] <xscroll> Sniffy: Chrome
[02:28] <Teh_Chaos> Sniffy: Here's what I did. Go to any youtube video, click on the install flash button, and say yes to everything. For version, select Linux OS, and then the Ubuntu version
[02:28] <glitchd> gartral|p, anything??
[02:29] <gartral|p> glitchd: that could be a bajillion different things, what hardware you have, what's your encryption? And do you have the open or closed drivers for your card?
[02:29] <pinkfilter> Hey! I was just wondering, how does a distribution upgrade work? I installed Ubuntu Desktop and a lot more applications, and also removed a bunch of applications... how will doing a distribution upgrade work? Will it change anything significantly?
[02:29] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: Im not sure why you can't access those partitions
[02:29] <xangua> Sniffy: make sure you did not install other flash plugins like gnash or swfdec
[02:29] <Sniffy> ah
[02:29] <Sniffy> think i installed gnash when trying stuff out
[02:29] <glitchd> gartral|p, oh god, how do i find any of that out?
[02:29] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Double clicking on them in Computer does nothing, and neither does clicking them from Places.
[02:29] <share> Can someone explain to me what this command does "chmod a+x"?
[02:29] <xangua> Sniffy: then uninstall all flash plugins and jus install one, the one you want to use
[02:30] <Sniffy> is there an easy way to do that?
[02:30] <ChogyDan> Teh_Chaos: maybe reboot
[02:30] <blackshirt> share: it's for change mode
[02:30] <glitchd> gartral|p, sry im a bit of a noob
[02:30] <xangua> Sniffy: software center, synaptic, apt. aptitude
[02:30] <share> blackshirt: what mode?
[02:30] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Alright, I'll try that, but I'll be away for a few minutes before I do, so I'll be back in a little while
[02:31] <gartral|p> glitchd: its cool. The problem now is I'm short on time
[02:31] <glitchd> gartral|p, shit.
[02:31] <glitchd> gartral|p, i really need to fix this, im leaving for a cross country road trip in  a few hours
[02:32] <share> blackshirt: change mode?
[02:32] <share> i know chmod is for change mode but what does "a" and "+x"
[02:32] <share> +x is executable i think
[02:32] <blackshirt> share: file or directory on unix/linux has permitions..like access, write, read et
[02:32] <gartral|p> glitchd: ohh man, its going to take an hour at least to fix your issue
[02:32] <share> a i dont know
[02:32] <blackshirt> etc
[02:33] <glitchd> dam.
[02:33] <glitchd> gartral|p, dam.
[02:33] <share> blackshirt: oh "a" = access.
[02:33] <blackshirt> share: read man page for chmod utility
[02:33] <share> blackshirt: i have .. man chmod doesnt show a or x mode lolz
[02:34] <glitchd> gartral|p, dam.
[02:34] <share> blackshirt: wait i've found it
[02:34] <glitchd> gartral|p, well can u at least point me in the direction i need to go in?
[02:34] <ogre> Whenever I try to open a folder, it opens in rhythmbox instead of the filebrowser. I'd be glad to google my own answer, but I'm not exactly sure what to ask. I know I need to point it back to nautilus somehow.
[02:35] <share> how can i see chmod(2)?
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> ogre: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1600134
[02:36] <share> it says check chmod(2)

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 on a hdd i have. when i tried using Alt+F2 update manager -d i get the message of: "could not open location 'file:///home/family/update%20manager%20-d' No such file or directory." never had this problem before when upgrading after fresh install.

If i open the gnome keyboard shortcuts, it shows the various actions are defined correctly, i.e. volume mute is mapped to XF86AudoMute, but i get nothing if i press the key.  The only way i've been able to 'fix' this is to first clear the actions with backspace, then redefine the shortcut to the proper media key.  It only seems to affe

[02:46] <miststlkr> Hoping someone can help me out.  I think I am trying to use ln but not doing it correctly.  I have al of my photos on an external drive and want them to show up when I click on ~/Pictures.  I can do this using "sudo mount --bind /media/Data/Pictures ~/Pictures" or adding the equivalent to the fstab just fine, but isn't there another way to do this?

[02:48] <Joelito> hi all, what would be the commandline to add my program to the startup
[02:48] <Rogan_> Alright, so no luck with the previous two suggestions. Any other ideas for this...?  This being - Fresh install of unbutunu 10.04 Desktop, network admin appeared not to be installed, and doesn't run from command line, however when installing from .deb it's already installed.
[02:48] <Joelito> same effect as "system>preferences>sessions"
[02:49] <miststlkr> maybe I had the locations backwards on the ln command... should it be "sudo ln -s [external] [home]" ?

[02:54] <Teh_Chaos> screenshots
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> Teh_Chaos: just use imageshack / photobucket
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> KOT_DKM7: what is the exact error?
[02:55] <Teh_Chaos> ChogyDan: Are you still there?
[02:55] <White-Horse> can anyone tell me why port 6348 will not open ubuntu 10.04.1 32-bit ? http://i55.tinypic.com/accyz6.png

[02:56] <KOT_DKM7> it says grub loading please wait...then it says error 21
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: are you running a proxy?
[02:56] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: Thanks.
[02:56] <White-Horse> no
[02:56] <Stam> I am trying to install Ubuntu again
[02:57] <Stam> but this one is not a live cd
[02:57] <Stam> so what do I do
[02:57] <mngrif> White-Horse: that's a useless screenshot... either your isp is blocking it (not unheard of) or you haven't correctly punched a hole in your router
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: speedguide.net says its unassigned
[02:57] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: Do you know which partitons I said each of thsoe pastebins was for?
[02:57] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: You're welcome.
[02:57] <White-Horse> i opened the port in the router
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/grub-error-21-after-full-install-to-usb-hard-drive/
[02:57] <White-Horse> and i set rules for it in iptables
[02:57] <mngrif> White-Horse: the app might require both UDP and TCP packets to be forwarded
[02:58] <xangua> (20:57:07) Stam: but this one is not a live cd < what are you refering to then¿
[02:58] <White-Horse> yes i set it to all
[02:58] <Stam> its a cd that does not say run in live mode
[02:58] <Stam> it just says install ubuntu and other
[02:58] <Stam> and the installation looks very basic
[02:58] <White-Horse> i will show you what i have set in iptables and in my router
[02:59] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: Quoting you:  partition 1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532067/, partition 2: (Didn't post it, because it's huge, but that's my C:\ drive, I recognize the folders), partiton 3: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532069/, and partition 4: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532066/
[02:59] <Rogan_> One last try, any one have any idea (I don't care how farfetched) as to why network-admin is most definately installed, but says it's not installed when I try run it
[02:59] <Stam> its like the 286 installation screen if you know what I mean
[02:59] <blackshirt> Stam: are you using alternate cd /
[02:59] <Stam> Yes it might be
[03:00] <blackshirt> StaM: i think, it was not a problem..it was based on debian installer..
[03:00] <Fapton_Calcon> Does anyone know how to require a password to read and edit the .bash_history file?
[03:00] <mngrif> Fapton_Calcon: you can use setattr (i think) to make the file append only
[03:00] <Stam> I get stuck at the part where it asks ...undo the partiton
[03:01] <Fapton_Calcon> mngrif: Can you explain further?
[03:01] <KOT_DKM7> i have installed ubuntu several times now i have tried installing it in my external hard drive and i have tried installing ubuntu on my main hard drive every time i restart my computer to load ubuntu it gives me a grub loader error 21 so i have been running ubuntu on the cd it self and running in demo mode...does anyone have a solution to my problem?
[03:01] <White-Horse> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/532092/
[03:01] <Stam> blackshirt the first thing its asking is the language
[03:02] <share> ERROR : NO-USER
[03:02] <Flannel> Fapton_Calcon: why not just set up the file permissions so no other users can read it?
[03:02] <Stam> so Im going to pick english
[03:02] <share> smells like bug
[03:02] <share> -.-
[03:02] <blackshirt> Stam: yes..
[03:02] <mngrif> Fapton_Calcon: the attribute makes it so the file can't be edited or deleted or altered, except by appending more data to it. it requires root to change the attribute. it would help if you explained why you want it password protected
[03:02] <izinucs> KOT_DKM7: do you have multiple HD's in the computer?
[03:02] <share> can't get oidentd to work on maverick
[03:02] <KOT_DKM7> izinucs: no i jus have one main hd in my computer
[03:02] <Stam> now it went to the basic installation screen
[03:03] <Stam> now its saying scanning cdrom
[03:03] <Fapton_Calcon> mngrif: I wish for it to password protected as I may accidentally type my sudo password in plain text
[03:03] <izinucs> KOT_DKM7: and is the external HD plugged in when you boot? (when you're trying to get to the installed version on the computer)
[03:03] <blackshirt> Stam: i just still figure out your problems..
[03:03] <KOT_DKM7> izinucs: yah my external hd is connected thru usb
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> KOT_DKM7: boot to liveCD and reinstall grub to the internal drive
[03:03] <Stam> what is it blacksirt
[03:04] <mngrif> Fapton_Calcon: ... that's a pretty horrible reason to go through the extreme trouble of protecting it
[03:04] <izinucs> KOT_DKM7: have you tried disconnecting it and then booting?
[03:04] <KOT_DKM7> izinucs: no i have not tried that
[03:04] <izinucs> KOT_DKM7: which did you install last? the usb drive or the one in the computer?
[03:04] <Fapton_Calcon> mngrif: What other solutions do I have?
[03:05] <mngrif> Fapton_Calcon: because that's what it is, a LOT of trouble to go through. it's far better to just simply not type your password on the commandline :)
[03:05] <share> wow oidentd is sucking
[03:05] <KOT_DKM7> izinucs: i jus installed it last on my main hd
[03:05] <izinucs> KOT_DKM7: ok.. disconnect the usb drive and reboot the machine and see what happens.
[03:05] <mngrif> Fapton_Calcon: if you're under the impression that the password prompt from sudo saves your password, you're mistaken. it does not.
[03:05] <White-Horse> http://i56.tinypic.com/zu6w1.png
[03:05] <Fapton_Calcon> mngrif: I agree, but it does happen occasionally by accident
[03:05] <Stam> ok blackshirt ... it now says No disk drive was detected. If you know the name of the driver needed by your disk drive, you can select it from the list

[03:07] <bonez2046> what does it mean if i am able to scan, and I scan one batch of say, 20 pages, save it and then when I go to scan the next  batch, I can't get the scanner recognized, using gscan2pdf
[03:07] <White-Horse> brb
[03:07] <mngrif> Fapton_Calcon: do other people use the computer in question?
[03:08] <Jordan_U> Teh_Chaos: Do you have a windows install CD? Many people (myself included) never use the OEM recovery partitions.
[03:08] <mngrif> Fapton_Calcon: as in, do they remotely log in and don't have physical access?
[03:08] <ysk> some buddy answer my question plz i have got noise in my mic i tried alot to fix it up but it didnt work
[03:08] <Fapton_Calcon> mngrif: Thank you, haha. And no, no one else uses my computer. I'm just paranoid.
[03:08] <KOT_DKM7> izinucs: so should i disconnect my usb drive and reboot my computer? i installed ubuntu to my main hd and when i boot it through my main hd it still gives me the grub loader error21
[03:08] <jabir> Galindar: try: update-manager -d
[03:08] <blackshirt> Stam: do you have 2 hd on your system ?
[03:08] <mngrif> Fapton_Calcon: then yeah, you're wasting your time. nobody can get to that file without already being root..
[03:08] <Stam> no
[03:08] <Stam> just 1 right now
[03:08] <vu1kan> Galindar: try update-manager -d
[03:08] <ysk> plz anybody know how to resolve mic noise issue
[03:08] <izinucs> KOT_DKM7: yes.. disconnect the usb drive and reboot.. see if you still get the grub error
[03:08] <vu1kan> darn fast typers...
[03:08] <Wally> I keep thinking this channel is #uluru
[03:09] <Jordan_U> KOT_DKM7: Most likely grub has been installed to a drive other than the one your BIOS is set to boot from.
[03:09] <jabir> :P
[03:09] <Galindar> lmao ty.. didnt notice i was leaving out the -.
[03:09] <izinucs> ysk: use a usb mic
[03:09] <aeMaeth> White-Horse, have you tried bing dmz yet?
[03:09] <aeMaeth> *being
[03:09] <KOT_DKM7> izinucs: ok i will try it
[03:09] <Fapton_Calcon> mngrif: I'm not root, but I can access it :|
[03:09] <Squarism> can one resize windows using keyboard?
[03:09] <ysk> would u think it will work? and i will not suffer noise?? i have a built in mic
[03:09] <mngrif> Fapton_Calcon: because you own it.
[03:09] <KOT_DKM7> jordan_U: is there a way i can fix that?
[03:09] <Jordan_U> KOT_DKM7: That other drive could even be the USB drive you used to install Ubuntu in the first place. How many hard drives do you have?
[03:10] <KOT_DKM7> jordan_U: i have my usb drive and my main hd in my computer
[03:10] <RootDisPl0x> I <3 U ALL
[03:10] <Fapton_Calcon> mngrif: I have a lot to learn. Thank you, though :)
[03:10] <izinucs> Jordan_U: KOT_DKM7 only has one drive in his machine
[03:10] <mngrif> Fapton_Calcon: no problem. now go learn about RAID recovery and then you can help me :D
[03:10] <Stam> blackshirt do you know why its asking for a driver disk?
[03:11] <Jordan_U> KOT_DKM7: Have you tried booting again from the USB drive you installed to?
[03:11] <Fapton_Calcon> mngrif: Will do! Bye, and thanks again!
[03:11] <Teh_Chaos> Jordan_U: I don't, unfortunately. I don't know if making windows recovery disks and eliminating the partition table would work, I haven't tried.
[03:12] <RootDisPl0x> I <3 U ALL
[03:12] <RootDisPl0x> I <3 U ALL
[03:12] <FloodBot4> RootDisPl0x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:12] <KOT_DKM7> jordan_u: yah i have tried booting from my usb drive several times then i installed it to my main hd in my machine and boot it from there still gives me the grub error 21
[03:12] <izinucs> KOT_DKM7: have you tried booting without the usb plugged in yet?
[03:12] <Jordan_U> KOT_DKM7: What verison of Ubuntu are you installing?
[03:13] <KOT_DKM7> izinucs: not yet
[03:13] <izinucs> KOT_DKM7: go ahead and do it.. we'll all be here.
[03:13] <Stam> ok this is where I am stuck now it says...
[03:13] <KOT_DKM7> jordan_u: my uncle gave me his c its unbuntu 9.04 desktop edition
[03:13] <mngrif> i need help with getting a RAID5 reassembled. two drives dropped out of the array (out of four). nothing has been written to the array since before it happened and now. is there any chance of recovery?
[03:13] <Jordan_U> KOT_DKM7: Try installing Ubuntu 10.10.
[03:14] <KOT_DKM7> izinucs: i will try that thanks for the advice hope it works
[03:14] <White-Horse> back
[03:14] <KOT_DKM7> jordan_u: i should go to the ubuntu website and download it from there?
[03:14] <Stam> This is an iverview of your currently configured partitions and mount points. Select a partition to modify its settings, a free space to create partitions or a device to initalize its partition table
[03:14] <Jordan_U> KOT_DKM7: Yes.
[03:15] <KOT_DKM7> jordan_u: i need to make cd in order to install it after it downloads?
[03:16] <Jordan_U> KOT_DKM7: You can burn it to a CD or make a bootable flash drive.
[03:16] <blackshirt> Stam: your disk ide or scsi disk /
[03:16] <Stam> its an external usb hardrive
[03:16] <KOT_DKM7> jordan_u: i dont have a cd burner but i do have a flash drive
[03:16] <Stam> 250gb
[03:17] <mngrif> KOT_DKM7: look up a program called "unetbootin", it will download and write a bootable image to a flash drive.
[03:17] <White-Horse> aeMaeth <aeMaeth> White-Horse, have you tried bing dmz yet? I am in the DMZ
[03:17] <Jordan_U> KOT_DKM7: On the download page there are instructions for making a bootable flash drive.
[03:17] <KOT_DKM7> mngrif: i download that to the flash drive?
[03:18] <mngrif> KOT_DKM7: no, to the hard drive. then run it.
[03:18] <KOT_DKM7> jordan_u: ok thanks
[03:18] <Jordan_U> KOT_DKM7: You're welcome.
[03:18] <White-Horse> you think it can be wine ?
[03:18] <KOT_DKM7> mngrif: thanks
[03:18] <aeMaeth> that's what i'm starting to think, but i know not much about wine
[03:18] <mngrif> of WINE's involved, then that can certainly be the problem.
[03:18] <mngrif> if*
[03:18] <Stam> blackshirt now its asking Undo changes to partitions or Finish partitioning and write changes to disk

[03:19] <vu1kan> I have an issue with the multimedia keys on my usb internet keyboard: whenever i reboot/power down, they stop working.  If i open the gnome keyboard shortcuts, it shows the various actions are defined correctly, i.e. volume mute is mapped to XF86AudoMute, but i get nothing if i press the key.  The only way i've been able to 'fix' this is to first clear the actions with backspace, then redefine the shortcut to the proper media key.  It only seems to affe
[03:19] <Stam> I just installed it with no problem before blackshirt
[03:20] <blackshirt> Stam: if you finish your changes, the disk will be writen to partition based your choice..
[03:20] <Anonimous> when installing to a USB when i exit does all my configurations get saved on a SAVE file?
[03:20] <Stam> but it didn't even ask

[03:25] <connermcd> White-Horse do sudo ufw status
[03:26] <love> My mouse suddenly stopped work and I for a short while saw an icon of some sort with an red X on it in the notifier on the top right, what have I done? :-)

[03:26] <White-Horse> ok one sec
[03:26] <love> It only flashed because I was switching to the terminal
[03:26] <mwarfare2> what do i need to do to get the geforce 5700 working in ubuntu? Everytime i do a fresh install of 10.10 it tells me it can use the proprietary drivers and i let it install. After a reboot my resolution will only go to 800x600 and it will not let me change it.
[03:26] <The_rogue_smiler> Well I thought there was some sort of wireless detection thing
[03:26] <love> and interesting is, that when switching back the mouse works for 1-2 seconds. Thus the mouse and X is doesn't have any problem.
[03:26] <blackshirt> Stam: Can your installed detected your disk, and can make partitition on it ?
[03:26] <Stam> no
[03:26] <love> and as far as I know, I haven't got a disable-mouse-permanently shortcut on my keyboard.
[03:27] <Stam> it does not ask

[03:27] <connermcd> White-Horse in that case ufw isn't even enabled... so ports aren't being blocked
[03:28] <connermcd> White-Horse you may have a firewall on your router

[03:32] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Could anyone answer a couple of basic questions on setting up an Ubuntu server in my home?
[03:32] <love> brb
[03:32] <Flannel> Cajun_Lan_Man: The best way to have them answered is to just ask them, and people will answer what they know.
[03:33] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Flannel: ok, thanks.
[03:33] <ilovefairuz> slgma: in the file manager edit > preferences > media
[03:33] <slgma> ilovefairuz, thanks alot
[03:33] <Cajun_Lan_Man> I'm basically looking for basic file and print sharing. Based on that, is there any reason I need ubuntu "server" as opposed to just Ubuntu desktop?
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> dockhorn: you can use grsync to get a gui
[03:33] <DrManhattan> im having issues with SDL based games, mostly ut2004 and tuxracer. I'm using twinview and the nvidia driver and my SDL based games are showing up in between my two screens
[03:34] <DrManhattan> I need things on one screen or the other here
[03:34] <ilovefairuz> Cajun_Lan_Man: ubuntu server and desktop edition both share the same superset of packages, but each edition come with a different subset installed by default
[03:34] <izinucs> Cajun_Lan_Man: nope.. samba handles both..
[03:34] <Flannel> Cajun_Lan_Man: Ubuntu (and linux in general) doesn't differentiate between "desktop" and "server".  The system just runs programs (some of which are servers).  There are some performance tweaks for the server-specific kernels, but they're just tuned differently, and for the majority of uses, you won't see much difference.
[03:34] <White-Horse> ok thanks guys i will try to work this out
[03:34] <samil> can i link my ALSA information no sound from frontal jack headphones but there is sound on back jacks
[03:35] <mwarfare2> what do i need to do to get the geforce 5700 working in ubuntu? Everytime i do a fresh install of 10.10 it tells me it can use the proprietary drivers and i let it install. After a reboot my resolution will only go to 800x600 and it will not let me change it.
[03:35] <mattalexx> I just installed Restricted NVIDIA drivers. Now, when I boot, it gets stuck on "Checking Battery State...". What should I do?
[03:36] <mattalexx> I'm running 10.10
[03:36] <mattalexx> ... Desktop
[03:37] <Cajun_Lan_Man> ilovefairuz, izinucs, Flannel, Thanks all of you. I've got enough machines in my house now that I think it's time.  I'm looking to build a low power machine that just stays on, and Ubuntu seems like the perfect OS for it. Does that sound like a machine that would be better suited for staying an LTS edition?
[03:37] <mwarfare2> mattalexx: i just had the same problem. i just finished my reinstall. There might have been an easier way but i couldnt figure it out
[03:37] <Galindar> mattalexx: disable battery check in bios to see what happens?
[03:37] <Flannel> Cajun_Lan_Man: I'd stick with the LTS, yeah.  You won't need to upgrade it as often, and you won't benefit much (if at all) from the newest packages
[03:37] <samil> Ubuntu 10.04.1 no sound from frontal jacks to my headphones im getting crazy here pls help

[03:38] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Flannel, do you know if it is possible to configure Ubuntu to do automatic updates without intervention?
[03:38] <ghostnik11> i pluged in a wireless usb 2.0 adapter and it worked as soon as it was plugged in but a probably occurred after about 30 mins it suddenly stopped working and I am think b/c i have not installed the drivers, i put in the cd but it only comes up as windows exe file installation
[03:38] <izinucs> ghostnik11: it's not drivers
[03:38] <Flannel> Cajun_Lan_Man: It's technically doable, but I wouldn't recommend it personally.  It's not too bad to remember every so often to update it, and it's easier to do that than to wonder why it went down and didn't come back if there's issues.
[03:38] <ghostnik11> izinucs: okay, whats the problem?

[03:40] <izinucs> ghostnik11: what file system is it formatted with?
[03:40] <love> any ideas? :-)
[03:40] <love> I've now checked the xorg logs aswell and no sign of errors there.
[03:40] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Does anyone have any experience running Ubuntu on the Intel Atom platform? It seems like a good one for a low power/always on rig.
[03:40] <mattalexx> mwarfare2, Galindar This is exactly like me, down to the ThinkPad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/619008/comments/11
[03:40] <love> not in dmesg either..
[03:41] <ghostnik11> izinucs: ext4, the latest filesystem which is ext4
[03:41] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Flannel, ilovefairuz, I have to agree with you there.  Probably better to just do it once a week.  I'll be checking on the machine anyway.
[03:41] <nixnoob> I've had problems with ext4 lately
[03:41] <gos_> hi
[03:41] <izinucs> ghostnik11: what happens when you unplug it and then plug it back in?
[03:41] <ghostnik11> izinucs: it works again
[03:42] <izinucs> ghostnik11: for another 30 minutes?
[03:42] <DrManhattan> im having issues with SDL based games, mostly ut2004 and tuxracer. I'm using twinview and the nvidia driver and my SDL based games are showing up in between my two screens - how do I get them to show up on one screen only?
[03:42] <ghostnik11> izinucs: yeah or less time
[03:42]  * mngrif tries #gentoo..
[03:42] <NN> DrManhattan, you can set up the monitors as being on seperate X servers
[03:42] <izinucs> DrManhattan: ut2004 should install natively.. no wine needed.
[03:42] <izinucs> ghostnik11: does the drive have it's own power supply?
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> Cajun_Lan_Man: i have a script called fullupgrade: http://pastebin.com/hR86Hqfi
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> Cajun_Lan_Man: then this in my crontab: 0 0 * * * /usr/bin/fullupgrade
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> Cajun_Lan_Man: runs a full upgrade at 00:00 daily
[03:43] <ghostnik11> izinucs: i don't think so, its just the usb that is built into my motherboard
[03:43] <Cajun_Lan_Man> ActionParsnip, I'll take a look, but that might be a bit over my current level of understanding.
[03:43] <izinucs> ghostnik11: no I mean the external drive..
[03:44] <DrManhattan> izinucs, no one said anything about wine
[03:44] <izinucs> DrManhattan: sorry..
[03:44] <mattalexx> mwarfare2, Galindar It's fixed by following that workaround. Thanks for the response.
[03:44] <DrManhattan> NN how do I go about having an extended desktop with that option?
[03:45] <nixnoob> DrManhattan, what do you mean by "extended desktop"? If you put each screen on its own X server, it will be its own desktop, independent of the other
[03:45] <ghostnik11> izinucs: no its just a usb wireless adapter, when i plug it in, its green led lights up and then it comes up but for some reason it then chips out and stops working
[03:45] <DrManhattan> nixnoob, meaning I want to be able to slide apps from one screen to another
[03:45] <izinucs> ghostnik11: I thought we were talking about an external usb harddrive.. formatted with ext4.. not a wireless adaptor
[03:45] <DrManhattan> this can't be THAT difficult, windows does this kind of stuff by default with nvidia cards
[03:46] <nixnoob> DrManhattan, that cannot be done if you set them up as separate X servers, you'd have to open the app you want on the screen you want it on.
[03:46] <DrManhattan> Jesus
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: use nvidia-settings to setup the dual monitor, then you can just drag stuff over
[03:46] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, the issue I'm having there is that SDL apps like ut2004 and etracer are launching in between monitors
[03:47] <love> anyone with a suddenly stopped mouse?
[03:47] <nixnoob> I suggested seperate X servers because it would force an app to stick to one monitor or the other, not be in between
[03:48] <ghostnik11> izinucs: sorry my fault, no i am having problems with an usb wireless adaptor, thats why i was asking about drivers and getting the drivers installed from the cd into lubuntu 10.10 so it does not stop after 30 mins
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: not sure about that, i don't use dual monitors myself, maybe theres a switch or so on the binary
[03:48] <DrManhattan> no, this is an issue with twinview and SDL
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: run: sudo lshw -C network; lsusb    and websearch the product line from lshw, if there isn't one then use the lsusb 8 character hex ID
[03:49] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: will do thanks
[03:49] <izinucs> ghostnik11: whole different topic.. sorry I'm not much good with wireless adaptors.. I've been lucky with a little advanced planning.  however if it connects and then times out for some reason then it *might* be a driver problem.. or something else.

[03:54] <soulde> heh. same thing as me. I only need to know where the config file is stored (ubuntu one)
[03:54] <izinucs> soulde: client side is open source.. server side isn't. so yes/probably on the first and no on the second.
[03:54] <soulde> sorry, izinucs. I'm don't speak english as a primary language. It was only one question
[03:55] <jags> I seem to have my mouse cursor uniform throught my entire interface running compiz/emerald, however, certain applications like VLC it reverts to what it was set to by default, any idea what makes some apps like VLC different, I'm curious where to start looking?
[03:55] <izinucs> soulde: but required a two part answer
[03:55] <soulde> "where the ubuntu one config file is stored on my ubuntu?" is the correct question, I guess.
[03:55] <meoblast001> hi
[03:55] <meoblast001> somehow i got rmoved from the sudoers file
[03:56] <meoblast001> there's a problem with that because Dr Shuttleworth doesn't want me knowing root password
[03:56] <meoblast001> thus, i have no way of readding myself
[03:56] <meoblast001> any ideas?
[03:56] <m4v> grab a livecd and fix it
[03:57] <meoblast001> oh great
[03:57] <meoblast001> how am i supposed to run halt?
[03:58] <nixnoob> you can't, so just hit the hardware power button, and run a fsck from the liveCD
[03:58] <m4v> you can also restart and boot with the recovery option, which has a root console
[03:58] <soulde> so, nobody knows where is stored the ubuntu one config file on my ubuntu 10.10?
[03:58] <meoblast001> *sigh*
[03:59] <meoblast001> i'll fix it later i guess
[03:59] <meoblast001> thanks
[03:59] <izinucs> soulde: you might ask in #ubuntu-one
[03:59] <m4v> meoblast001:  y'know, for those without root account
[03:59] <soulde> I'm trying, izinucs. But I guess everybody there is sleeping or is a bot. Anyway, thank you.
[04:00] <jags> when I setup ubuntu one it made a folder in my home directory, I would just assume its there, I'm not sure, its not setup on this system atm
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> soulde: if you open nautilus and press ALT+H you may find it in the hidden files
[04:00] <jags> CTRL+H
[04:01] <Guest9533> Hey faggots
[04:01] <Guest9533> Who wants to suck my dick
[04:02] <spectre^> nice
[04:02] <prime> quit
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> !ops DICKHOLE generally being a troll and swearing etc
[04:02] <soulde> thanks, actionparsnip and jags
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> !ops | DICKHOLE generally being a troll and swearing etc
[04:03] <kusanagi> hi, i am running lucid with kernel 2.6.32 and i want to install latest kernel... how? and also, i am going to hace any problems?
[04:03] <kusanagi> have*
[04:05] <The_rogue_smiler> um....
[04:05] <xangua> kusanagi: you can try som !ppa under your own risk
[04:05] <The_rogue_smiler> are there any viruses that can infect linux?
[04:05] <xangua> !virus | The_rogue_smiler
[04:05] <DrManhattan> well, that was a big fail
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> The_rogue_smiler: some but they are held in labs and experimental rather than wild
[04:05] <The_rogue_smiler> ok
[04:05] <DrManhattan> im really disappointed
[04:06] <The_rogue_smiler> Why would they experiment?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> The_rogue_smiler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware
[04:06] <kusanagi> xangua, the risk is the ppa not having a virus? or trusting a new kernel wont broke anything?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> The_rogue_smiler: usually made by the fiolks who make the system, none are wild and arent anything to worry about
[04:06] <MarioneTTe-Doll> Question for you folk: Is there any way to repair libgcc_s.so.1 when it has an invalid ELF header? I am unable to open a browser, nor can I get apt-get to work. I'm on 10.04.
[04:06] <The_rogue_smiler> ok
[04:06] <fannet222> Hi I accidentally moved a folder to a file by doing "mv folder1 .oopsfolder" how can I reverse this damage?
[04:07] <chelz> what's the default Compose key/keys on ubuntu?
[04:07] <lolres> Smd
[04:07] <ashfaq> How to check our installed version of ubuntu?
[04:07] <Hakume> I am running on a live CD of ubuntu.
[04:07] <bastidrazor> DrManhattan: you need a metamode that allows xserver to turn one monitor off. i used to do this ages ago in 8.04 .. when a xorg.conf was still used.
[04:07] <xangua> kusanagi: i use this with no problems https://launchpad.net/~guido-iodice/+archive/best-intel you can always remove ppa's with: sudo ppa-purge "ppa's name"
[04:08] <mae_tae> is this valid acl working_time time 8:00-11:00 13:00-18:00?
[04:08] <chelz> lolres: was that to me?
[04:08] <antonio_> oi
[04:08] <kharmod> hello
[04:08] <lolres> SMD

[04:08] <lolres> 80
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> MarioneTTe-Doll: can you use: http://pastie.org to give the output of: file /path/to/libgcc_s.so.1; uname -a      (replace /path/to/libgcc_s.so.1 with the ACTUAL location of the file)
[04:08] <FloodBot4> lolres: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:08] <m4v> fannet222: I don't think you can revert it.
[04:08] <Hakume> I am trying to get this cd to load the liveCD os.
[04:08] <fannet222> :(
[04:08] <kharmod> does anyone know how to make filezilla not treat tar.* files on the remote system as directories?
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> MarioneTTe-Doll: most likely /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
[04:09] <kusanagi> xangua is there any official ppa or sumthing for latest kernel for lucid? backports or something maybe?
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> MarioneTTe-Doll: from my research
[04:09] <ashfaq> How to check our installed version of ubuntu?
[04:09] <MarioneTTe-Doll> ActionParsnip, I am unable to open a browser.
[04:09] <bastidrazor> ashfaq: in terminal type: lsb_release -a
[04:09] <Hakume> I got Firefox to run by viewing the release notes.
[04:09] <kusanagi> MarioneTTe-Doll, just sudo apt-get reinstall libgcc1
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> kusanagi: there https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa  but its VERY experimental and not supported here but you are free to use it at your own risk
[04:10] <MarioneTTe-Doll> kusanagi, apt-get returns the same error: invalid ELF header.
[04:10] <Hakume> I then got chatzilla and restarted Firefox.
[04:10] <kharmod> does anyone know how to make filezilla not treat tar.* files on the remote system as directories?
[04:10] <kusanagi> MarioneTTe-Doll, can you paste the output somewhere?
[04:10] <fannet222> m4v: I hope you are wrong
[04:10] <DrManhattan> bastidrazor, im going to get back to it a little later. I'm rather frustrated at the moment
[04:11] <DrManhattan> I find it somewhat disheartening that something which is done so easily in windows is so difficult to accomplish in linux
 Thanks dear!
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: its a different OS with differnet support
[04:11] <jman123> anyone else have issues with 10.10 recognising screens and resolutions?
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: different things are easier in Ubuntu than windows
[04:12] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, like what?
[04:12] <kusanagi> ActionParsnip, i just need 2.6.36 i dont really need 2.6.37 :) any way to verify the trust of some ppa?
[04:12] <GigaWarez> I need some help guys
[04:12] <bastidrazor> DrManhattan: avoidance of spyware, malware and virii
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: installing office productivity, DVD playback
[04:12] <m4v> fannet222: well, now I see that mv refuses to move a dir into a file, so what did you really do?
[04:12] <DrManhattan> thats true
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: enabling remote access
[04:12] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, nonsense on all three
[04:12] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: found my product id and found a website in which person said he solved the problem, here is the link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ubuntu-driver-for-smcwusb-n2-wifi-adapter-not-working-alternatives-821284/
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: adding codecs for the large majority of file formats
[04:12] <jman123> installing open source software :)
[04:12] <DrManhattan> but bastidrazor sure hit it on the nose
[04:13] <m4v> fannet222: your folder is probably still here, but since it starts with a dot, is hiden.
[04:13] <JoeMaverickSett> what's the latest kernel version for maverick?
[04:13] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, wrong again
 How could spyware, malware and virii be avoided!
[04:13] <MarioneTTe-Doll> kusanagi, it looks like the best I could do is paste it in a /msg to you. There's only one line of output, at least.
[04:13] <xangua> !info linux | JoeMaverickSett
[04:13] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: my only thing is that this person did it through debian and don't know if i should do his same steps in ubuntu as i think it won't work
[04:13] <JoeMaverickSett> xangua: thanks. :D
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: what is like ubuntu-restricted-extras ni ubuntu that install all the codecs for any format as well as flash and sun java?
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: in one command?
[04:13] <bastidrazor> ashfaq: nearly all of it is written for windows, so it just doesn't work on linux.
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: it doesnt exist, thus its easier
[04:14] <jman123> got a bug here, fresh install of 10.10 isnt recognizing both my screens or the correct resolution for the one it has seen
 Do I require for linux?
[04:14] <kusanagi> MarioneTTe-Doll, i mean, can you use something like http://pastebin.com and then paste here the url
[04:14] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, not really - the codecs all play without any installation of anything in win 7
[04:14] <bastidrazor> ashfaq: what?
[04:14] <izinucs> jman123: did you install with both screens plugged in?
[04:14] <MarioneTTe-Doll> kusanagi, I am unable to start any browser, even lynx.
[04:15] <jman123> yes
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: and flash and java... in one command?
[04:15] <TMN_> what the
[04:15] <MarioneTTe-Doll> kusanagi, when I try, I get the same error: invalid ELF header in libgcc_s.so.1
[04:15] <TMN_> since when do all codecs work without doing anything in W7
 Anti virus etc for ubuntu 10.10
[04:15] <izinucs> jman123: that has been an issue for several releases.. what video card?
[04:15] <kusanagi> MarioneTTe-Doll, you have a very fucked system i can see... paste it to me in private then
[04:15] <bastidrazor> ashfaq: you don't need an anti-virus program.
[04:15] <Jordan_U> !virus | ashfaq
[04:15] <jman123> izincus: nvidia 9500 i think
[04:15] <[thor]> ashfaq: you only need to install an anti-virus if you are sharing files with windows machines that you care about.
[04:16] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, pretty much automatically when you use them, yeah
[04:16] <Jordan_U> jman123: Have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[04:16] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: the person from that link has the same product as i have an also when i ran lsusb we got the same bus device id etc.
[04:16] <ashfaq> Thanks, you were telling someone to avoid that , I thought  how to do that in linux
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: setting up x forwarding to a client system
[04:16] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, rofl.
[04:16] <izinucs> jman123: have you tried disconnecting one of the monitors and see what happens?  You'd also benefit from the latest driver which is *not* in the repositories.. you have to add the PPA repository to get it installed effectively.
[04:17] <jman123> jordan_U: I did under 10.04, didnt work so i tried installing 10.10
 Is their an antivirus for ubuntu?
[04:17] <ilovefairuz> !virus | ashfaq
[04:17] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, do yourself a favor - keep to the facts, don't just make things up hoping to stumble onto something. You know, like bastidrazor did.
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: my hardware in my asus p1-ah2 pundit doesnt work too well and took several hours to find a driver, it works out of the box with ubuntu, as does my wireless chip
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: i can ream off loads of stuff dude, but there are things easier in windows too
[04:17] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, what do you want me to say - that you don't know what you're doing?
[04:17] <Jordan_U> jman123: Have you tried it yet in 10.10? What happened when you tried (in either version)?
[04:17] <xangua> !ot | DrManhattan ActionParsnip
 Yes now I am relieved, thanks
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: no, just showing that both OSes have pros and cons
[04:18] <jman123> izinucs: yes i did try unplugging the VGA monitor during startup, it just displayed nothing on the DVI one.
[04:18] <DrManhattan> thanks ubottu
[04:18] <voss749> ashfaq, They do have clamav ,its in the repo
[04:18] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, that's nice. Please stick to the facts next time.
[04:18] <izinucs> jman123: here's the link for the ppa https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: oh i have the facts
[04:18] <DrManhattan> sigh
[04:18] <xangua> ashfaq: clam, avg and.... only know those two :S
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: if you grab the 8 character hex ID, you can find guides easily
[04:19] <ashfaq> Thanks friends for the info, but since it is not neccessary it is better to avoid, right?
[04:19] <xangua> ashfaq: if you don't care about windows sharing yes
[04:20] <jman123> jordan_U: in 10.04 the nvidia control center did find my other monitor, but only allowed VGA resolution, and didnt find the correct resolution for the first monitor either
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> ashfaq: if you limit your use of sudo it will limit the impact any virus may have
 Good to know that! I am learning with you people
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> ashfaq: best way :)
[04:21] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: okay, the 8 character hex id would be memmory:ff6ffc00-ff6ffc7f
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: no it'll be something like 34AB:65AF   or somesuch
[04:22] <jman123> izinucs: which driver should i install? nvidia or open source?
[04:22] <pylix> i was editing a txt file on another drive i added some txt to it and saved it and when i rebooted it was gone? anyway to recover files on ext4?
[04:22] <izinucs> jman123: nvidia..
[04:23] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: sorry about that, got it now, it is 0cf3-1002
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> jman123: if you want full 3D goodness, nvidia. If you dont need full 3D then the open drivers are fine
[04:23] <jman123> ok I'll try nvidia from that ppa
[04:23] <needhelp1> i have tightvnc installed on my brothers pc at a different location, his pc is behind a router so the ip is 192.168. ...  how can i get his exact ip address, and what happens when it changes ?
[04:23] <pylix> anyone?
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: if you run: sudo iwlist scan  do you see access points
[04:24] <niriven> needhelp1, tell him to go to whatismyipaddress.com
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> !ssh | needhelp1
[04:24] <izinucs> jman123: adding the ppa will also let you pull in the nvidia-settings for that driver
[04:24] <jags> needhelp1, thats his private ip address, you want the external 'public' ip
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: you'll need to port forward port 22 TCP to get a connection
[04:24] <needhelp1> what should i do when his ip address changes
[04:24] <needhelp1> will i have to ask him every time for his new ip?
[04:24] <niriven> needhelp1, after that he needs to foward the requests to the vnc server port in his router settings
[04:25] <jags> needhelp1, yes you'll need to configure your router  to forward the ports or they'll be closed
[04:25] <jman123> izinucs: what do you mean by that?
[04:25] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: it gives me currently none but that is b/c even though my usb wireless adapter is plugged into back of usb port on desktop it has suddenly stopped
[04:25] <niriven> needhelp1, no you can setup dynamic dns (free) with his router, like dyndns.org, that way you can reference from a hostname and the router will udpate the ip for the hostname
[04:25] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: will plug it out and back in then run the scan
[04:25] <intelinside2020> hi, i tried to install my nvidia driver and the terminal says "You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing."...plss help
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: you can use no-ip and assign his IP to a name, and use no-ip duc client to update the IP in the DNS regularly
[04:26] <Jordan_U> needhelp1: If you're on the same network as him (connected to the same router) then dynamic DNS is overkill.
[04:26] <izinucs> jman123: nvidia-settings has different versions based on the driver from what I can tell.. it is the control center for setting up your monitors and resolution after the driver is installed.
[04:26] <needhelp1> different network
[04:26] <bullgard4> man top: "PR --  Priority: Priority of the task. NI --  Nice value: The nice value of the task." What is the difference?
[04:26] <niriven> needhelp1, get him to create a dyndns account and setup that account in his home router, simple :)
[04:26] <mosh> #join /ubuntu-es
[04:26] <jman123> izinucs: OK so should i use apt-get or the gui driver installer?
[04:26] <mosh> join #ubuntu-es
[04:27] <mosh> damn
[04:27] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: got the results from iwlist scan
[04:27] <bullgard4> !language | mosh
[04:27] <jags> thats really cool niriven , I'm getting that dyndns right now
[04:27] <Jordan_U> needhelp1: If you are going to setup his computer to be accessable via the internet you should give a lot of consideration to security.
[04:27] <niriven> jags, ya it simplifies things greatly...
[04:28] <needhelp1> is there another way Jordan_U ?
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: did it scan and find SSIDs?
[04:28] <izinucs> jman123: once the ppa is installed in your sources.list.. then apt-get update.. then go to system>admin>hardware drivers and enable the "latest" option.. It should pull everything in.
[04:28] <intelinside2020> Plese someone help with the nvidia driver
[04:28] <Jordan_U> needhelp1: No. You just need to be more carefull with security than you otherwise would.
[04:28] <The_Tick> how do I configure the popup notifications in gnome? I can't find an applet to do it
[04:28] <jman123> alright cool installing now
[04:28] <The_Tick> intelinside2020: what's up?
[04:29] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: yeah but I had already selected it to connect to my router
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: ok and can you ping 8.8.8.8 when you connect to the router?
[04:29] <Jordan_U> needhelp1: Make sure that the only port you're forewarding is what is required for VNC, and I would recommend setting up VNC to require a password *and* confirmation from someone physically at the computer.
[04:30] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: yeah, just pinged it
[04:30] <intelinside2020> i tried to install my nvidia driver and it says "You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing."
[04:30] <bullgard4> intelinside2020: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: great, but i'm guessing you get no web access?
[04:31] <jman123> izinucs: its pretty shit though that under a fresh install the "monitor preferences" app doesnt even see my other monitor (which btw is a viewsonic VX2235wm connected via DVI)
[04:31] <intelinside2020> i hav got a .RUN file for driver
[04:31] <thefatloverboy> how can i install a go cam kwc-101
[04:31] <niriven> intelinside2020, why nto use the ubuntu restricted driver installer? if you dont want to use it, kill xorg, goto command prompt, install it then start your *dm again
[04:31] <intelinside2020> how to kill xorg
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy: run: lsusb   websearch for the 8 character hex id. Also if you install and run cheese, do you see yourself
[04:31] <ginny> Install windows
[04:31] <ginny> Problem solved
[04:31] <ginny> I tooted
[04:31] <ginny> It reeks
[04:32] <izinucs> jman123: yes.. I've had that issue for 3 years.. I've learned to install with only one monitor connected then add the other after I've install the nvidia drivers.
[04:32] <needhelp1> has there been any offical work on the next official ubuntu music player, i thought i remember reading it will be banshee
[04:32] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: yeah i get web access
[04:32] <bastidrazor> intelinside2020: that guide is going to tell you how to stop the xserver .. normally going to a TTY then stopping the xswerver and running the .run is a good method
[04:32] <ilovefairuz> intelinside2020: sudo service gdm restart
[04:32] <thefatloverboy> no
[04:32] <needhelp1> *word
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: ok so what's the problem :) seems ok to me
[04:32] <bastidrazor> intelinside2020: you need to be in a TTY when you stop the xserver.
[04:32] <intelinside2020> iam so sorry iam so new to ubuntu pls help i cant understand
[04:33] <bastidrazor> intelinside2020: read the guide.
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy: ok then grab the lsusb output and websearch away, the ID will identify the chip which you need to know, not the make  / model
[04:33] <niriven> intelinside2020, start a terminal and type sudo service gdm stop
[04:33] <bastidrazor> niriven: that isn't going to help since the terminal is being run inside the xserver he is stopping.
[04:33] <jman123> izinucs: lol. its strange though because it worked the first time i connected up my monitors under 10.04, then suddenly stopped after a reboot some time
[04:33] <jman123> that was with stock drivers too
[04:34] <niriven> bastidrazor, and? it should just kill x and push him back to the prompt
[04:34] <JoeMaverickSett> .quit
[04:34] <izinucs> jman123: strange thinkg can happen.
[04:34] <needhelp1> has there been any offical word on the next official ubuntu music player, i thought i remember reading it will be banshee
[04:34] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: it suddenly stops, lets say after a couple of minutes it will just stop even while it is loading a youtube page the wireless usb adapter will just stop working and i think it is b/c the regular driver in ubuntu isn't fully compatable with the wireless usb adapter
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: ok when it drops, run: dmesg | tail   what is output?
[04:34] <needhelp1> ghostnik11, have you tried wicd
[04:34] <xangua> hola
[04:34] <lea123> Hello people any idea why Java pluggin is not activated by default in Firefox over Ubuntu but it is over Vista ??
[04:34] <niriven> if anything "sudo killall gdm", that will stop it good :)

[04:35] <ghostnik11> needhelp1: thats what i was going to try but wanted to know if wicd would interfer with nm or network manager
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> lea123: how did you install it?
[04:35] <needhelp1> ghostnik11, it should auto uninstall nm
[04:35] <xangua> lea123:  need to install the plugin first...
[04:35] <izinucs> jman123: nope.. just go for it
[04:35] <needhelp1> ghostnik11, wicd is much better than NM IMO
[04:36] <izinucs> jman123: gotta run.. battery dying.. enjoy.

[04:39] <KB1JWQ> Are security fixes backported to Ubuntu, or does the version number increment along with the upstream provider's?
[04:40] <Guest_185> after the first reboot i select ubuntu as my os then it says installing then it shows the loading screen then it turns blank
[04:40] <jman123> ActionParsnip: it complained about xorg.conf not existing.. created a new xorg.conf.. rebooted and its exactly the same

[04:41] <thefatloverboy> well i did install grap now what so i have to do ?
[04:42] <Guest_185> i dont think so
[04:43] <jman123> ActionParsnip: might be time to do some xorg.conf editing.
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> jman123: thats fine, it makes a fairly decent xorg.conf for you, you may need to configure refresh rates. I seem to remember something about overscan or something with TVs or somesuch.
[04:43] <thefatloverboy> how can i install a gocam kmc-101?

I am foloowing a forum which is written for my distro of ubuntu 10.10. some of the neccesary packages are said to no longer be available in 10.10 but the 9.04 releases will work just fine. the packages are as follows: sun-java5-bin 1.5.0-19-0ubuntu0.9.04 i386.deb , sun-java5-demo 1.5.0-19-0ubuntu0.9.04 i386.deb , sun-java5-jdk 1.5.0-19-0ubuntu0.9.04 i386.deb , and sun-java5-jre

[05:29] <AbhiJit> hi
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> Bawn: looks like you need to use feh or similar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox
[05:29] <ventrik> Hello
[05:30] <Bawn> jman123, are you root?
[05:30] <jman123> ya
[05:30] <jman123> brb
[05:30] <AbhiJit> lsof -P -i -n this command tellme that python is using internet. this is new concept for me that python is using internet. why it needs internet? i dont want it to use internet. how to disable it?
[05:30] <fudoyusei> hi AbhiJit
[05:30] <The_Tick> AbhiJit: disable internet
[05:30] <The_Tick> problem solved
[05:31] <AbhiJit>  /ignore The_Tick all
[05:31] <AbhiJit> fudoyusei, yes ??
[05:31] <Bawn> ActionParsnip, that is some sort of image viewer
[05:31] <SeanPJ> Interesting...
[05:31] <The_Tick> AbhiJit: you provided no context as to what part of python is using the internet
[05:31] <The_Tick> AbhiJit: my solution is the best for the problem you presented
[05:31] <bullgard4> man top: "PR --  Priority: Priority of the task. NI --  Nice value: The nice value of the task." What is the difference between them?
[05:32] <The_Tick> AbhiJit: maybe if you provided more details the best solution wouldn't be that
[05:32] <fudoyusei> AbhiJit, ok
[05:32] <Jordan_U> AbhiJit: What python applications specifically? Python is a programming language.
[05:33] <AbhiJit> Jordan_U, it just shows 'python' not any application
[05:33] <The_Tick> Jordan_U: have fun with him
[05:33] <Bawn> can someone explain piped menus to me
[05:33] <Jordan_U> AbhiJit: The purpose of /usr/bin/python is to run python applications, it doesn't do anything else.
[05:34] <AbhiJit> Jordan_U, yah now asking in #python

[05:34] <lea123> I am just trying to install Javal pluggin on Firefox over Ubuntu it seems to be a nightmare.
[05:35] <Jordan_U> AbhiJit: Run "ps aux | grep xxxx" where xxxx is the pid of the python process to see the full cmdline, which will tell you what python application is running.
[05:35] <AbhiJit> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/vdpUK6CS
[05:36] <lea123> Even the Synaptic Package Manager has the old edition of Java installed...
[05:36] <The_Tick> heh, it's all CLOSED_WAIT anyhow

[05:37] <The_Tick> Bawn: piped menus for openbox you mean?
[05:37] <lea123> 10.10 fresh off the press
[05:37] <fudoyusei> 10.10
[05:37] <AbhiJit> Jordan_U, its some sort of ./notifiyer.py
[05:37] <fudoyusei> 10.10 is good!
[05:37] <Bawn> yes The_Tick
[05:37] <The_Tick> Bawn: would this help? http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Menus

[05:38] <Bawn> libreoffice or openoffice
[05:39] <AbhiJit> Jordan_U, thank you! :)
[05:39] <lea123> Bawn: Looks crazy Ideally it should 100 times difficult on Windows but its the other way around. I just can't get FF to include this pluggin .
[05:39] <The_Tick> lea123: do you have the .so?
[05:39] <Jordan_U> AbhiJit: You're welcome.
[05:39] <Agent001> What is the best looking font to use on ubuntu?
[05:40] <AbhiJit> you are still stuck on font issue Agent001 ?? :s
[05:40] <Agent001> yeah how do you know
[05:40] <lea123> The_Tick: What is .so ??
[05:40] <Bawn> have you used openjdk lea123 ?
[05:40] <Jordan_U> AbhiJit: That's far too subjective to answer.
[05:40] <The_Tick> lea123: you don't if you have to ask
[05:40] <The_Tick> lea123: what are you trying to install specifically?
[05:40] <AbhiJit> Jordan_U, means? its good or bad?
[05:40] <Agent001> I've been patient Abhijit, maybe you could help me tonight
[05:41] <Jordan_U> AbhiJit: Sorry, that was for Agent001
[05:41] <AbhiJit> Jordan_U, ohh ok
[05:41] <lea123> Bawn: I had used everything but icedtea version 6 openjdk just about everything sunjre6
[05:41] <Agent001> I went to droid but then I wasn't feeling it
[05:41] <Jordan_U> Agent001: That's far too subjective to answer.
[05:41] <Bawn> try icedtea
[05:41] <lea123> Bawn: I am trying to run Zotero infact
[05:41] <Agent001> can i get the wget command for that please?
[05:41] <Bawn> this sounds forums worthy
[05:43] <lea123> bawn : However the javatester or the Java page where one can check the browser just doesn't seem to recognise the java plugin at all . Does one have to restart the browswer ??
[05:44] <Bawn> lea123, definately
[05:44] <karthick87> I wanna restrict saving files in desktop,instead i would like to show some message when they save like "Save your files in HOME folder"Can anybody help me..?
[05:44] <Bawn> lea123, especially with firefox, you need to restart
[05:44] <Bawn> karthick87, saving from where?
[05:44] <lea123> Although it doesn't tell you like the rest of the add-ons
[05:45] <lea123> Shall try once over again
[05:45] <|Xorg> anyone else ever use lg3d under ubuntu?
[05:45] <Bawn> lea123, plugins normally never say it
[05:45] <root__> Hello all
[05:45] <karthick87> Bawn: saving files from internet
[05:45] <Bawn> karthick87, using firefox
[05:45] <elange> sorry about that, is a howto build on installing apache via source?
[05:45] <Bawn> ?
[05:46] <elange> building* i need to disable ipv6
[05:46] <Jordan_U> karthick87: It would make for a cluttered desktop but you could "rmdir Desktop; ln -s . Desktop".
[05:46] <karthick87> Bawn: wat ever the browser may be.I dont want my users save files in desktop
[05:46] <The_Tick> Jordan_U: I'd replace ; with an &&
[05:46] <Bawn> read what jordan says
[05:46] <The_Tick> or possibly make it a mv
[05:47] <The_Tick> and not an rm
[05:47] <lea123> Bawn: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java#TOC-Install-the-Firefox-plugin This seems to be a nightmare and I  was on it  :)
[05:47] <Agent001> Jordan_U, what font are you using?

[05:47] <Agent001> anyone using any font either than ubuntu font?
[05:47] <Agent001> other*
[05:47] <lea123> Jordan_U: Thank you for you inputs for the Ubuntu 10.10 installation yesterday. I am finally on it...  Its good But the windows in Ubuntu seems to be flying all over the place unlike Vista which seems more disciplined
[05:47] <Jordan_U> !best | Agent001
[05:48] <b0gatyr>   
[05:48] <Jordan_U> lea123: You're welcome. What do you mean by "flying all over the place"?
[05:48] <Bawn> lea123, that is how to do it manually, but with ubuntu software center or synaptic, it is mega easy
[05:49] <fudoyusei1> ubuntu, hi!
[05:50] <Bawn> libre office or oracle office, both are exactly the same, but completely different
[05:50] <Bawn> can someone help me with the details of the two
[05:50] <|Xorg> yeah, like windows ME and win2k. lol
[05:51] <|Xorg> both the same, but completely... well, mostly the same
[05:51] <Bawn> lol
[05:51] <Bawn> vista and windows 7
[05:52] <|Xorg> ubuntu with GDM and ubuntu with KDE. ;)
[05:52] <SeanPJ> windows 7 is better than vista.. but dog shit is better than vista
[05:52] <Bawn> |Xorg, funny, i just done both of those in the las 3 hours
[05:52] <fudoyusei1> I don't like Vista
[05:53] <|Xorg> SeanPJ, Dog shit also has less worms, on average.
[05:53] <elange> sorry about that, is a howto build on installing apache via source? and enable ipv6 mapping w/ a duel stack between ipv6 and ipv4?
[05:53] <SeanPJ> Lol.
[05:53] <Bawn> it was an alpha version turned into an actual release, bugs and all that vista
[05:53] <|Xorg> and on that note, I must be off to install the rest of Looking Glass 3D desktop env.
[05:53] <|Xorg> laters

[05:59] <jadenyuki> hum..
[05:59] <jman123> i am trying to set up a DVI monitor, the native resolution is not recognised with latest nvidia drivers(or the default ubuntu install ) so im trying to edit xorg.conf to add appropriate modelines here is my attempt paste.ubuntu.com/532148 thany idea why this doesnt work?
[06:00] <jadenyuki> hi
[06:00] <Bawn> try out xwelltris, it is 3d tetris, as in a ton of stuff
[06:01] <sangeeth> I use my college's wifi, which provides internet access through a proxy server... It refuses to some sites like Facebook... Is there any tunnelling software or solution, as in windows AnchorFree??? Please Help Me...
[06:02] <jman123> you can always set up a tunnel over ssh if you have a pc running at home or somewhere outside the proxy. assuming the proxy allows ssh
[06:02] <Bawn> jman123, you have 2 resolutions for one screen, i think that might be the prob
[06:02] <lea123> Jordan_U: Sorry I lost you. The FF froze :). What I meant was the dialog boxes opened are not over the ones from where it was opened . I sometimes find it below the pile of opened windows especially the empathy window. login on one window and talk on another which is somewhere down, Each tabs on FF gives an icon on the taskbar...
[06:02] <jman123> doesnt work with one either
[06:03] <jman123> the resolutions dont even get listed in nvidia-setup
[06:03] <Bawn> so why does it have 2? jman123
[06:03] <sangeeth> jman123:  Could give me the steps to follow, please...
[06:03] <jman123> sangeeth. i dont know off by heart you will have to google it
[06:04] <Bawn> sangeeth, install foxyproxy for firefox
[06:04] <thefatloverboy> im trying to install my cam and i cant
[06:04] <Bawn> sangeeth, it will guide you through proxies so you don't get seen by your college
[06:04] <Bawn> thefatloverboy, webcam?
[06:04] <mattalexx> I closed Rythmbox but the music is still playing! WEhat to do?
[06:04] <thefatloverboy> yes
[06:04] <sangeeth> Ok :-/ Thanks... Could you atleast tell me what exactly should i have to search for in google...
[06:05] <Bawn> mattalexx, there should be a rhythmbox icon in the top bar, click it and select quit
[06:05] <Bawn> sangeeth foxyproxy
[06:05] <jman123> is that like using tor or something
[06:05] <BlueBomber> Mattalexx:  Do you still see a speaker icon in one of your panels?
[06:05] <Bawn> tor works too, try that first, actually
[06:05] <BlueBomber> If so, you can stop playback or exit the program from there.
[06:06] <sangeeth> Bawn: Which one?
[06:06] <Bawn> get tor, and install torbutton for firefox, you will love it
[06:06] <jman123> yeah
[06:06] <Bawn> i even use it
[06:06] <jman123> just google torbutton ubuntu or something
[06:06] <jman123> will get you install guides
[06:06] <Bawn> i beleive both are in the ubuntu servers
[06:06] <sangeeth> Thanks guys, Bawn and jman123... Will come back to you after trying that..,
[06:07] <Bawn> to control tor, use vidalia
[06:07] <bullgard4> Nautilus > right-click on a filename foo > Properties > (Properties of foo) > Tags will show a list of perhaps 40 entries. I did not make this list. Who has made this list? What is the function of this list?
[06:07] <Bawn> too late
[06:07] <jman123> he will work it out
[06:07] <Bawn> yeah
[06:07] <jman123> and if he doesnt, someone else will have to deal with him :P
[06:07] <lea123> Bawn: I think it started working only after ranting :)
[06:07] <mattalexx> BlueBomber, Bawn Werll, I removedsome things from the panel. II just added back "Notification area, but I only see my eth icon.
[06:08] <jman123> hmm is there a xorg channel on this irc server?
[06:08] <BlueBomber> Mattalexx:  Add back the indicator applet
[06:08] <Bawn> mattalexx, don't right click, just click the little thing that looks like a speaker, if you are right hand, use left button
[06:08] <lea123> People how did I get the previous chats if I get disconnected ? I am using chatzila
[06:09]  * syn-ack trips SJr 
[06:09] <syn-ack> jman123: I'm sure there is.
[06:09] <jman123> #ubuntu-x
[06:10] <thefatloverboy> go cam kwc-101
[06:11] <BlueBomber> Mattalexx, did that work?
[06:11] <mattalexx> BlueBomber, Yes, that worked. Guess I'll keep that applet.
[06:11] <mattalexx> Thanks for the help guys
[06:12] <BlueBomber> My pleasure.  Rhythmbox is one of my most used apps.
[06:12] <Lancelot> can someone help me with a java issue? Something apparently went missing after an upgrade
[06:12] <mattalexx> Wow, this new version is so much more polished than the old versions
[06:13] <mattalexx> I'm impressed.
[06:14] <mattalexx> How do I remove the mail icon from the panel? I don't want to confuigure Evolution, and it seems like I have to in order to open it. I was thinking I would open it to find a Pref setting to remove the icon.
[06:14] <Lancelot> that's why I stuck with karmic
[06:15] <thefatloverboy> well see you all next time
[06:15] <li> hello  who can tell me  how can i make my kde-desk as a defaut one?
[06:15] <ubuXubu> careful, when u remove things it removes a few of those items at once, not just the one you want.
[06:16] <Lancelot> can someone help me with a JRE problem?
[06:16] <Bawn> Lancelot, why are you stuck with karmic? that is so old, java doesn't care about it anymore
[06:16] <Lancelot> Bawn: too many annoyances with the new versions
[06:16] <Lancelot> it was working fine before I ran some updates
[06:17] <Lancelot> then it broke
[06:17] <Bawn> if you want java to work, upgrade all the way to at least 10.04
[06:17] <Lancelot> as I said, too many annoyances
[06:17] <Lancelot> it was working
[06:17] <Lancelot> then it removed cautious-launcher
[06:17] <Lancelot> and I can't run anything
[06:18] <Bawn> Lancelot, annoyances?
[06:18] <Lancelot> lots of little one Bawn
[06:18] <Bawn> Lancelot, how would you know without having the recent versions
[06:18] <Lancelot> I have tried them
[06:18] <Lancelot> and I hated them
[06:19] <Bawn> give me an example
[06:19] <Lancelot> it doesn't ask you for a password to mount a drive
[06:19] <Lancelot> the volume app doesn't show the percentage or dB when you mouse over it
[06:19] <Lancelot> things like that
[06:19] <Lancelot> plus the icons look hideous
[06:20] <Bawn> those are gnome problems
[06:20] <Lancelot> I guess
[06:20] <Bawn> are ya gonna upgrade, or have java not work, weigh them out
[06:20] <Krypt0s> quit
[06:21] <Lancelot> Bawn: that's not the problem
[06:21] <Lancelot> the problem is
[06:21] <Lancelot> that it was working, and now it doesn't
[06:21] <Bawn> that is what 95% of convos on here are about Lancelot
[06:21] <JoeCoolNetbook> Why can't my system find any video codecs? I have non-free sources enabled.
[06:22] <Lancelot> Bawn: okay, so specifics. I wanna run minecraft, and it usually did this by executing it with cautious-launcher
[06:22] <Lancelot> Bawn: post-update, it's not there anymore
[06:22] <Lancelot> Bawn: so I can't run any java programs
[06:22] <Bawn> are they set as executable?
[06:22] <Lancelot> yes
[06:22] <Lancelot> so I'm guessing cautious-launcher got replaced
[06:23] <Lancelot> I just can't figure out what replaced it
[06:23] <Bawn> you could run stuff from terminal
[06:23] <Lancelot> how?
[06:23] <Bawn> i think it's still cautious launcher
[06:23] <Lancelot> where is it?
[06:23] <DrManhattan> ok so how do I go about setting up my twinview desktop so I can run SDL games fullscreen?
[06:24] <Bawn> go into the terminal and type the program you need to run
[06:24] <Bawn> click the program, copy it, and paste as filename in terminal
[06:24] <Lancelot> Bawn: I know how to run a program from terminal
[06:25] <Lancelot> Bawn: I'm just saying I don't know what to run the .jar with
[06:25] <Bawn> ahhh
[06:25] <Lancelot> since cautious-launcher is gone
[06:25] <Bawn> can't you right click, and open with another application. and choose openjdk6 orsomething?
[06:26] <DrManhattan> ok so how do I go about setting up my twinview desktop so I can run SDL games fullscreen?
[06:26] <glitchd> does anyone know how to delete session restore info?
[06:26] <Lancelot> with minecraft openJDK apparently is buggier than usual
[06:26] <Bawn> welcome back glitchd
[06:26] <DrManhattan> so far SDL games (ut2004 and etracer) launch in the middle of my screens
[06:26] <glitchd> Bawn, thx
[06:26] <glitchd> Bawn, when was i here before??
[06:26] <glitchd> lol
[06:27] <Bawn> Lancelot, the open with javasdk or something
[06:27] <Lancelot> what's the program name for that?
[06:27] <Bawn> glitchd, about 7 hours ago
[06:27] <glitchd> Bawn, lol
[06:27] <glitchd> Bawn, how do u delete session restore info
[06:27] <glitchd> Bawn, so it doesnt restore all the windows
[06:28] <glitchd> Bawn, it keeps making my system freeze
[06:28] <glitchd> Bawn, i need a fresh desktop to boot up
[06:28] <quiescens> Lancelot: the most basic way is "java -jar (filename)"
[06:28] <Bawn> Lancelot, u might not have it and have been using openjdk the whole time
[06:28] <bullgard4> Nautilus > right-click on a filename foo > Properties > (Properties of foo) > Tags will show a list of perhaps 40 entries. I did not make this list. Who has made this list? What is the function of this list?
[06:28] <Bawn> glitchd, i see
[06:28] <Lancelot> one sec, lemme try that quiescens
[06:28] <Lancelot> Bawn: nope, definitely the sun one
[06:29] <Bawn> icedtea?
[06:29] <Bawn> glitchd, ill be right back, gotta change environments
[06:29] <glitchd> Bawn, ok
[06:29] <Lancelot> qiuescens, that worked
[06:30] <quiescens> while you're there
[06:30] <Lancelot> quiescens: that worked, now I need to find a way to edit that into the default run command for JARs
[06:30] <quiescens> could you give me the error you get for cautious-launcher when you try to type it in a terminal?
[06:30] <Lancelot> cautious-launcher: command not found
[06:31] <Lancelot> as I said quiescens, it's gone
[06:31] <Lancelot> cautious-launcher: command not found
[06:31] <alkisg> Lancelot: dpkg -l mime-support
[06:31] <alkisg> cautious-launcher should be contained on that package
[06:31] <Lancelot> alkisg: okay, lemme look it up
[06:32] <Bawn> glitchd, i was just at the thing to change that, and i forgot where u chang that
[06:32] <Lancelot> alkisg: it's installed apparently
[06:32] <alkisg> Lancelot: ls /usr/bin/cautious-launcher
[06:32] <Lancelot> alkisg: ls: cannot access /usr/bin/cautious-launcher: No such file or directory
[06:32] <glitchd> Bawn, i cant boot my desktop cuz everytime i do it freezes
[06:33] <quiescens> no, you're right
[06:33] <alkisg> Lancelot: dpkg -L mime-support | grep cautious-launcher
[06:33] <quiescens> the latest karmic mime-support doesn't have a cautious-launcher
[06:33] <glitchd> Bawn, i need to delete the session restore info it has stored so it doesnt restore that desktop anymore
[06:33] <gogeta1> strange one hear if i add data=writeback to fstab the fs no longer mounts
[06:34] <alkisg> Karmic? Ah, ok, it's there on Lucid though.
[06:34] <glitchd> Bawn, do u know where the actual data it uses to restore is saved?
[06:34] <Bawn> i forgot
[06:34] <Lancelot> quiescens: dammit, so what now?
[06:35] <Bawn> try something like this : /usr/bin/gnome-session-save
[06:35] <Lancelot> it was there before I updated
[06:35] <Lancelot> the java
[06:35] <Lancelot> JRA*
[06:35] <Lancelot> JRE*
[06:35] <quiescens> let me have a quick look at why it would have gone
[06:35] <FloodBot3> Lancelot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:35] <quiescens> it shouldn't have anything to do with your JDK/JRE though
[06:35] <alkisg> Lancelot: you updated from what version to what version and lost cautious-launcher?
[06:35] <Lancelot> quiescens, I just made some selective updates, and I picked updates for the sun-java stuff
[06:36] <Bawn> Lancelot, are u sure you haven't been using something else the whole time other that cautious-launcher?
[06:36] <Lancelot> alkisg: I'm currently running version 6 update 22 (build 1.6.0_22-b04
[06:36] <glitchd> Bawn, do i just delete that file or do i open it and edit it?
[06:37] <glitchd> Bawn, if so, what program do i open it with?
[06:37] <Lancelot> Bawn: that's what the command for "run with sun java runtime" was
[06:37] <alkisg> Lancelot: no I mean which Ubuntu versions. If you were running Karmic all the time, cautious-launcher shouldn't be there afaik...
[06:37] <Lancelot> alkisg, no I'm still in karmic
[06:37] <gogeta1> anyone got a ide why enabling writeback mode is making my fs not mount anymore
[06:37] <quiescens> oh, no
[06:37] <quiescens> I get it
[06:37] <quiescens> cautious-launcher never existed in karmic
[06:37] <Lancelot> alkisg: I just updated java
[06:38] <Lancelot> well apparently it did, because I was running it
[06:38] <quiescens> but someone caused your java update to try to use cautious-launcher to run jar files
[06:38] <quiescens> when it shouldn't be
[06:38] <Lancelot> okay, so what was it using before?
[06:38] <Bawn> glitchd, dude, idk
[06:38] <glitchd> Bawn, ok
[06:39] <bullgard4> Nautilus > right-click on a filename foo > Properties > (Properties of foo) > Tags will show a list of perhaps 40 entries. I did not make this list. Who has made this list? What is the function of this list?
[06:39] <glitchd> Bawn, thx tho
[06:39] <Lancelot> quiescens, alkisg, so what can I do to get it back then?
[06:39] <Bawn> i was JUST THERE glitchd
[06:39] <glitchd> Bawn, lol
[06:39] <bastidrazor> gogeta1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=107856   have you seen this?

[06:40] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: its ex4
[06:40] <alkisg> Lancelot: I don't know what part tries to use cautious-launcher, but it's just a small script file, you can create it manually if you want: http://pastebin.com/yJPqbAi4
[06:40] <glitchd> Bawn, thxthx
[06:40] <Lancelot> quiescens, alkisg, this is part of my update log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532171/

[06:41] <alkisg> Lancelot: sudo gedit /usr/bin/cautious-launcher, paste what you see in pastebin, sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/cautious-launcher and you should be ok
[06:41] <furi> alkisg, hi
[06:41] <Bawn> wait its totally different glitchd
[06:41] <alkisg> Hi furi
[06:41] <psycho_oreos> !upgrade| irreverant
[06:41] <irreverant> And I have a dell mini 10, would it be useful to me to use the desktop version?
[06:41] <furi> alkisg, sorry i wasn't there earlier
[06:41] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: think i forgot the rootflag
[06:41] <Bawn> its .gconf/desktop/gnome/session
[06:42] <Kolia> !alsa
[06:42] <glitchd> Bawn, ??
[06:42] <Bawn> its .gconf/desktop/gnome/session glitchd
[06:42] <psycho_oreos> useful but may not be suitable irreverant
[06:42] <Bawn> in your home folder
[06:42] <glitchd> Bawn, and do i just delete one or both of those files?
[06:43] <Bawn> which are you seeing?
[06:43] <glitchd> %gconf.xml required_components
[06:44] <glitchd> Bawn, 2 files
[06:44] <Bawn> keep those
[06:44] <irreverant> psycho> what would be the best solution for me? and those websites i've already been to, it seems to me that those are more for hotfix updates as opposed to core upgrade.
[06:44] <Lancelot> alkisg: didn't work
[06:44] <Bawn> uhmmm
[06:44] <glitchd> Bawn, edit them then?
[06:45] <Bawn> glitchd, i don't save my sessions, so i wouldn't know
[06:45] <glitchd> Bawn, dam.
[06:45] <glitchd> im  not gonna anymore
[06:45] <Bawn> glitchd, you just need to poke around that gnome folder and see if anything looks exactly the same
[06:45] <glitchd> Bawn, i did
[06:45] <Bawn> all of the folders?
[06:45] <glitchd> Bawn, im a bit of a noob at this stuff
[06:45] <Lancelot> alkisg: nevermind, I made it work
[06:45] <ilab> What's the best & safest way to cleanly remove all gnome components from ubuntu?
[06:45] <Lancelot> thanks
[06:46] <psycho_oreos> irreverant, I wouldn't personally generally recommend dist-upgrades, it is not clean and sometimes it may cause headaches
[06:46] <glitchd> Bawn, how do u disable the session restore?
[06:46] <ilab> apt-get remove gnome* prompts me to install like 150mb of new packages? wth?
[06:46] <Bawn> glitchd, i was just there!!!
[06:46] <glitchd> Bawn, ok..
[06:46] <irreverant> Ok, so then if I have 8.04 i have to go to 8.10 then to 9.04 moblin remix?
[06:47] <psycho_oreos> irreverant, probably but again I advise you against upgrading
[06:47] <bastidrazor> !purekde | ilab :: just use the remove gnome set of instructions. unless you do want kde
[06:47] <Jordan_U> irreverant: No, you can go directly from 8.04 to 10.04 because they are both LTS releases.
[06:48] <irreverant> Really?! Just keep running my mobile 10 on hardy heron?
[06:48] <ilab> ubottu: I just want a command line prompt.
[06:48] <ilab> bastidrazor: I just want a command line prompt
[06:48] <bastidrazor> ilab: did you even read that page..?
[06:49] <irreverant> Yeah but what I need to consider is hardware support and because it is a netbook, 10.04 is a desktop version. So Im only asking for some advice and information on what would be in my best interest.
[06:49] <glitchd> Bawn,  are u gonna tell me??
[06:49] <glitchd> Bawn, nevermind
[06:49] <glitchd> i found it
[06:49] <irreverant> And if i havent said it yet thanks for any input jordan and psycho.
[06:50] <Jordan_U> irreverant: You're welcome.
[06:50] <Bawn> glitchd, yes
[06:50] <Bawn> glitchd, the options tab of the startup applications in system>preferences
[06:51] <glitchd> Bawn, yesyes
[06:51] <Bawn> heh, didnt wanna look like a fool
[06:51] <glitchd> Bawn, im in the failsafe session
[06:51] <Jordan_U> irreverant: Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu netbook use the same drivers and base packages, in fact you can install everything that makes Ubuntu netbook edition "netbook" on Ubuntu desktop and visa-versa. It' just a different set of default applications.
[06:51] <glitchd> Bawn, will that carry over to my normal session?
[06:51] <Bawn> it should
[06:51] <Bawn> reboot it and find out
[06:52] <ilab> bastidrazor: yeah running that apt-get --purge still prompts me to install kde libraries strangely enough
[06:52] <Bawn> since reboots are healthy, and quick with ubuntu, it isnt much hassle
[06:52] <Nisstyre65> lol, since when do you need to reboot except to reload the kernel?
[06:53] <irreverant> jordan: do you have a link for the image of ubuntu 10.04?
[06:53] <Bawn> u gotta point, but the reboots are healthy and quick
[06:53] <Bawn> lol
[06:53] <syn-ack> irreverant: have you tried going to Ubuntu's site and getting it?
[06:53] <Bawn> just like some laxatives
[06:53] <Bawn> random laxative reference ftw
[06:54] <glitchd> Bawn, what happens if i delete the %'gconf.xml file??
[06:54] <alkisg> ilab: the first command on that wiki page is `sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop`, does that prompt you to install packages?
[06:54] <Bawn> it might not come back
[06:55] <glitchd> so then its not a good idea
[06:55] <Jordan_U> irreverant: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook
[06:55] <Bawn> im sure the setting u set in the failsafe mode is gonna carry over, just reboot
[06:55] <irreverant> syn-ack: no i havent, thats actually something i didnt even think about.
[06:55] <glitchd> ok
[06:55] <glitchd> here goes
[06:55] <Bawn> be healthy and quick
[06:55] <glitchd> if not, ill be back
[06:55] <glitchd> ..lol
[06:55] <irreverant> Thanks everyone now i just have to do some research to see if everything on my mini is supported under maverick.
[06:56] <Bawn> and dont let anyone go into the room for a while, it's a bit slippery, like a quickies
[06:56] <Jordan_U> irreverant: You can always test with a LiveCD/USB before installing/upgrading.
[06:56] <Bawn> healthy and quick
[06:56] <bazhang> Bawn, take the chat elsewhere. and keep it family friendly here.
[06:56] <alkisg> irreverant: btw 10.04 is lucid, not maverick
[06:57] <Bawn> but my speak is healthy and quick
[06:57] <Bawn> good bye
[06:57] <Lancelot> alkisg: looks like it's working, thanks
[06:57] <Lancelot> I gotta go now
[06:57] <Lancelot> later
[06:57] <alkisg> Lancelot: you're welcome
[06:58] <irreverant> but 10.10 is maverick meerkat right?
[06:58] <alkisg> irreverant: you can't upgrade from 8.04 directly to 10.10. You need to go to 10.04 first. LTS to LTS upgrades.
[06:58] <irreverant> Jorndan: actually that sounds like a great idea.
[06:58] <ilab> alkisg: No. that doesn't remove gnome though. when apt-get --purging the gnome list under manual removal ... I tried passing all the no-install-recommend , etc flags in apt-get manpages. I still get prompted to install qt and kde libs
[06:59] <alkisg> ilab: can you pastebin the command and its output?
[06:59] <irreverant> alkisg: thank you thats what i was wondering about, i read something about that but wasnt sure thats what it meant.
[07:00] <irreverant> What is the reasoning behind upgrading from lts to lts?
[07:01] <alkisg> irreverant: LTS == long term support, so people are supposed to keep it for 2 years, so they upgrade from 8.04 directly to 10.04. On the other hand, if a person has 8.10, he doesn't have long term support, so he's expected to ugprade every 6 months
[07:01] <Glitchds_friend> irreverant because there are no gaps irreverant
[07:02] <bomba> hello0o0o0
[07:02] <Altheas> Hmmm does anyone know if this processor is compatible with 64 bit ubuntu 10.04? "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q9550  @ 2.83GHz"
[07:02] <Glitchds_friend> hi1h1h1
[07:02] <bombshell> I'm trying to get hold of gparted 0.6.4, it fixes a bug in 0.7.2/3
[07:02] <Glitchds_friend> yes
[07:02] <bomba> yes it is
[07:02] <alkisg> Altheas: it is
[07:02] <ilab> alkisg: http://pastebin.com/v1AjVu4q
[07:02] <irreverant> is there any benefit in choosing 10.10 over 10.04?
[07:02] <furi> alkisg, can you help with the yesterday discussed issues, please?
[07:03] <bombshell> Is it possible to search the entire repository for this package?
[07:03] <syn-ack> irreverant: It's newer, mainly
[07:03] <Glitchds_friend> bombshell, you mean parted right?
[07:03] <Altheas> hmmm how come when i try to install the operating system it just gets stuck with background picture the only way i could upgrade to this 10.04 32bit was to install 9.10 then upgrade
[07:03] <glitchd_> need help
[07:03] <bombshell> Glitchds_friend: The command is gparted
[07:03] <Glitchds_friend> yes glitchd
[07:03] <glitchd_> need to delete the session restore data
[07:04] <alkisg> ilab: it looks like you have some kde packages in your system, better remove those first (e.g. software-properties-kde)
[07:04] <Glitchds_friend> oh really glitchd ?
[07:04] <glitchd_> Glitchds_friend, everytime it reloads my desktop it loads stuff and freezes
[07:04] <airtonix> irreverant, not that i've found so far.
[07:04] <glitchd_> Glitchds_friend, i need to remove the data that it loads from so it loads a fresh desktop
[07:04] <bullgard4> Nautilus > right-click on a filename foo > Properties > (Properties of foo) > Tags will show a list of perhaps 40 entries. I did not make this list. Who has made this list? What is the function of this list?
[07:04] <alkisg> furi: it'll be difficult to troubleshoot your problem if you don't remember what settings you changed. Why not reinstall instead, and be done in half an hour?
[07:04] <Glitchds_friend> i see glitchd
[07:04] <bombshell> gparted 0.6.2-1ubuntu1 this the version that I have
[07:04] <Glitchds_friend> I WAS JUST THERE
[07:04] <glitchd_> Glitchds_friend, im in failsafe session right now cuz the other one wont work
[07:04] <Glitchds_friend> haha
[07:04] <irreverant> Not to blow smoke up your asses but you guys and this room has been far more helpful in the last couple of minutes than anyone else ive spoken too in weeks, including my local college.
[07:05] <Glitchds_friend> im bawn
[07:05] <Glitchds_friend> let's see...
[07:05] <glitchd_> Glitchds_friend, lol
[07:05] <rezolute> i might pay for the whole smoke up my ass thing.
[07:05] <irreverant> I just want to let you guys know your fucking awesome.
[07:05] <furi> alkisg, fixing it seems simpler, at least, i won't have to redo all the settings i changed with ccsm and emerald
[07:05] <airtonix> !language
[07:05] <glitchd_> Glitchds_friend, i did all that and it still freezes on the loading of the desktop
[07:05] <vgp8> can i get help with a printer installation?
[07:05] <irreverant> Sorry.
[07:05] <airtonix> ^
[07:05] <glitchd_> Glitchds_friend, i can only get in thru failsafe mode
[07:05] <rezolute> not sorry
[07:05] <airtonix> you will be
[07:05] <furi> alkisg, on top of that, i can tell you that i haven't changed any settings. i was mistaken.
[07:06] <alkisg> furi: didn't you say you have been trying to fix this for a week now? :)
[07:06] <ilab> alkisg: there aren't any kde packages. software-properties-kde is one of the packages apt-get is trying to install. i'm just altering the 10.10 livecd files.
[07:06] <bombshell> Is there are webpage on ubuntu.org site where I can search the entire repo
[07:06] <glitchd_> Glitchds_friend, you name is almost like mine...copy cat..lol
[07:06] <irreverant> let me rephrase that. I want you to know that Im grateful for your help, and that your incredibly helpful and took some stress off my shoulders.
[07:06] <Glitchds_friend> hah
[07:06] <airtonix> irreverant, on the ubuntu wiki site you'll find an "irc" page that lists all the irc channels for ubuntu.
[07:06] <alkisg> ilab: The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:   qapt-batch apturl-kde kdesudo libqapt1 libqapt-runtime   software-properties-kde
[07:06] <furi> alkisg, yeah, but still... i'm a pretty persistent person, and i just would rather not reinstall.
[07:06] <Glitchds_friend> don't be hatin, i AM your friend
[07:06] <glitchd_> Glitchds_friend, but yea i cant get into normal mode now
[07:07] <bazhang> !ot > glitchd_
[07:07] <bazhang> whoops sorry glitchd_
[07:07] <alkisg> furi: well ok I can have a small look if you want but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Wanna vnc?
[07:07] <Altheas> How come when i try to install 10.04 either 32bit or 64bit it gets stuck on the background picture?
[07:07] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: and wala it works now
[07:07] <Glitchds_friend> !ot
[07:07] <bazhang> Glitchds_friend, keep the chat elsewhere, as I just told you.
[07:07] <furi> alkisg, okay.
[07:07] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: i forgot the tun2fs command
[07:07] <glitchd_> Glitchds_friend, im leaving in a few hours for a road trip, i need to fix this
[07:07] <Glitchds_friend> i know, i am just about to help glitchd
[07:07] <bastidrazor> gogeta1: do you notice a difference?
[07:07] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: huge
[07:08] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: turned off real time and orderd
[07:08] <alkisg> furi: are you with a live cd now? Enable the "universe" repository from system > settings > software sources, and then install x11vnc
[07:08] <glitchd_> DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DELETE SAVED SESSION DATA SO A FRESH DESKTOP IS LOADED AT LOGIN???
[07:08] <Glitchds_friend> can you even go into normal mode if you wanted to glitchd ?
[07:08] <bastidrazor> gogeta1: what are the drawbacks though?
[07:08] <glitchd_> Glitchds_friend, i can, but i freezes immediatly
[07:08] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: also check to make ture its running and it is
[07:08] <Nisstyre65> glitchd_: look in ~/ for a directory that has it?
[07:09] <studio> text test
[07:09] <furi> alkisg, using an xubuntu disc, so no system tab
[07:09] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: not mutch relly it wil tos the last bits of data if you crash
[07:09] <glitchd_> Nisstyre65, ~/..???
[07:09] <Nisstyre65> glitchd_: /home/yourusername
[07:09] <alkisg> furi: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ts.sch.gr && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install x11vnc
[07:09] <studio> what would be better with options gnome or kde ?
[07:09] <SpamapS> I'm hoping somebody with knowledge of upower can help me figure out why 'upower --dump' says 'can-suspend: no', when I've suspended many times in the past on this MacBookPro 5,1 running maverick..
[07:09] <furi> alkisg, thank you
[07:09] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: so might lose a paragraph of your work you where in the middle off but not all of it
[07:10] <Glitchds_friend> like the /.gconf/ folder
[07:10] <foobaru> studio: What do you mean?
[07:10] <SpamapS> I think installing laptop-mode-tools may have caused the problem, but I'm not really sure. :-P
[07:10] <ilab> alkisg: dunno why apt-get reports that. they are definitely not installed.
[07:10] <[thor]> glitchd: ~/.config/session-state/ ?
[07:10] <studio> i like the power of kde but the simplisty of gnome  but  what would be better ?
[07:10] <Glitchds_friend> [thor], hes gone now
[07:10] <[thor]> ahh, i have join/part turned off
[07:10] <alkisg> ilab: so `dpkg -l software-properties-kde` tells you it's not installed?
[07:10] <foobaru> studio: Depends on what you like. Neither is *better* per se.
[07:10] <gogeta1> studio: kde is ment to be easy
[07:11] <studio> ok
[07:11] <studio> thanks
[07:11] <ilab> alkisg: yes: No packages found matching software-properties-kde.
[07:11] <Glitchds_friend> [thor], im sure that's it
[07:11] <gogeta1> studio: its not called kiddy destop envirment for knoething thats the real name btw
[07:11] <airtonix> gogeta1, lol
[07:11] <alkisg> ilab: can you try `sudo apt-get install -f` ?
[07:11] <bastidrazor> gogeta1: applications load faster and whatnot?
[07:12] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: well in the case of a slow ssd like i have yes being less wirghting going on and helps extennd its life a bit
[07:12] <ilab> alkisg: nothing
[07:12] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: its best to go no jurnel but im not that cavler lol
[07:12] <ilab> alkisg: i'm chrooted inside of an extracted live-cd if that makes any difference
[07:13] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: so i switched the the jurnel with the least amount of writes
[07:13] <Glitchds_friend> glitchd, try out  ~/.config/session-state/
[07:13] <furi> alkisg, okay, it's finished
[07:14] <alkisg> furi: x11vnc -connect alkisg.dyndns.org
[07:14] <bombshell> I'm trying to grab gparted 0.6.4 or higher
[07:14] <furi> alkisg, wouldn't that be kinda... insecure?
[07:14] <bombshell> How can I check all repos to see if it exists?
[07:14] <furi> alkisg, or is it just view-only...
[07:14] <Glitchds_friend> bombshell, as a live cd?
[07:14] <alkisg> furi: that's screen sharing, no it isn't view-only
[07:15] <popey> bombshell: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gparted
[07:15] <bombshell> I installed ubuntu already
[07:15] <furi> alkisg, okay then
[07:15] <bullgard4> bombshell: Use packages.ubuntu.com.
[07:15] <gogeta1> bastidrazor: but if you have a newer gen ssd they got good wareleveling and its not going to relly hurt it
[07:15] <Glitchds_friend> bombshell, gparted is only on livecds and usbs, but for ubuntu, it's just.. well ... parted
[07:15] <glitchd> Glitchds_friend, just delete the file?
[07:16] <Glitchds_friend> glitchd, i beleive so
[07:16] <popey> Glitchds_friend: its in the repo, and not just for the live cd
[07:16] <furi> alkisg, just a mome, dling the vnc client
[07:16] <foobaru> #help
[07:16] <[thor]> glitchd: rename to something else
[07:16] <furi> alkisg, or server... thing...
[07:16] <glitchd> Glitchds_friend, ill try it, i hope it doesnt toast the session
[07:16] <[thor]> glitchd: in case it pwns your install
[07:16] <Glitchds_friend> yeah
[07:16] <furi> alkisg, connected.
[07:16] <glitchd> [thor], ill try that instead
[07:16] <Glitchds_friend> i always name .old just in case
[07:17] <glitchd> hmmmm...its not letting me rename it
[07:17] <Glitchds_friend> open nautilus with sudo
[07:17] <Glitchds_friend> and try again
[07:18] <Glitchds_friend> gl glitchd
[07:18] <bombshell> Glitchds_friend: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/amd64/gparted/download
[07:19] <bombshell> This version I was looking for
[07:19] <Glitchds_friend> ah so it's development
[07:19] <Glitchds_friend> kk
[07:20] <glitchd> Glitchds_friend, gl??
[07:20] <White-Horse> anyone know how to reset usb ports my wireless keyboard stop working      ?/
[07:20] <Glitchds_friend> good luck glitchd
[07:20] <glitchd> Glitchds_friend, by the by, its still not letting me rename it
[07:20] <WarDamnEagle> Anyone running Eve w/ Wine? MM?
[07:20] <varnie> hello. could someone help me in understanding the following situation: how. say, Gnome's NetworkManager has access to modifiying /etc/resolv.conf file,while that file has only root privilegies?
[07:21] <foobaru> White-Horse: Should be handled automatically by hal
[07:21] <Glitchds_friend> glitchd, click properties, and go to the permissions tab and u find out the rest
[07:21] <infid> when i ssh into my other computer the shell keeps saying 'tput: unknown terminal "gnome-256color"'  how can i stop this?
[07:21] <bombshell> Glitchds_friend: Natty is developement?
[07:21] <glitchd> Glitchds_friend, what do u mean find out the rest?
[07:22] <albech> Anyone here have experience with RT (Request Tracker)? http://bestpractical.com/rt/
[07:22] <alkisg> furi: so what do you see now while booting?
[07:22] <Glitchds_friend> its so easy a caveman can do it
[07:22] <furi> um
[07:22] <furi> what do you mean?
[07:22] <White-Horse> foobaru i did lsusb and i see it there but its not working
[07:22] <foobaru> White-Horse: I'm assuming you tried to disconnect and reconnect it?
[07:23] <varnie> why Gnome's NetworkManager can write to /etc/resolv.conf ?
[07:23] <White-Horse> yes
[07:23] <White-Horse> its been working for over 6 months
[07:23] <furi> alkisg, just the login screen
[07:23] <foobaru> varnie: Probably because NM is run as a daemon with root priviledges
[07:23] <furi> alkisg, rebooted from disc apparently
[07:23] <alkisg> furi: and then when you try to login what happens?
[07:23] <WilliamHerry> where is the logrotate configuration file of dmesg? i can't find it
[07:23] <furi> alkisg, i logged in as ubuntu with no pass
[07:23] <Glitchds_friend> good luck niños
[07:23] <foobaru> White-Horse: Are you sure the keyboard isn't toast?
[07:23] <GnuBoi> I just now upgraded the evince in my ubuntu 10.04 to latest version using sudo apt-get install evince, now evince is not working. It gives: evince: symbol lookup error: evince: undefined symbol: ev_get_locale_dir
[07:24] <glitchd> Glitchds_friend, still wont let me rename it
[07:24] <alkisg> furi: no, I mean when you boot from your hard disk
[07:24] <johnathan> morning
[07:24] <White-Horse> i just messed it up cause i unpluged it when my laptop was o
[07:24] <White-Horse> on
[07:24] <bullgard4> Nautilus > right-click on a filename foo > Properties > (Properties of foo) > Tags will show a list of perhaps 40 entries. I did not make this list. Who has made this list? What is the function of this list?
[07:24] <furi> alkisg, alright. will be back in just a mome.
[07:24] <Glitchds_friend> glitchd,  then move it somewhere else
[07:24] <foobaru> White-Horse: Shouldn't really matter. hal supports hotplugging
[07:24] <White-Horse> yes i am sure it's not toast
[07:24] <varnie> foobaru, thanks. one more question - how can i set my script acting at boot time? it contains several commands requiring sudo btw.
[07:25] <varnie> i am running ubuntu 9.10
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> varnie:    yo could call it from /etc/rc.local as a way
[07:25] <johnathan> does anyone know how to setup a teamspeak3 server on ubuntu?
[07:25] <Glitchds_friend> yes
[07:25] <varnie> and what about entering password for these commands requiring 'sudo' ?
[07:26] <White-Horse> wellllllll ever since i unpluged it the keys are going all crazzzzzzz like           you can see
[07:26] <Glitchds_friend> unfortunately i have to go máng
[07:26] <White-Horse> i taaaaaaaa a key and thats what it does
[07:26] <Glitchds_friend> glitchd, find out how to use chmod if nothing works, and ask about
[07:26] <Glitchds_friend> it
[07:26] <johnathan> could someone that knows how to setup a ts3 server please assist me?
[07:26] <sangeeth> B
[07:26] <sangeeth> BB??n
[07:26] <Glitchds_friend> bye
[07:26] <glitchd> Glitchds_friend, i just moved it to my home dir
[07:27] <Jordan_U> White-Horse: Can you confirm that the keyboard works on another machine?
[07:27] <glitchd> Glitchds_friend, gonnna reboot to see what happens
[07:27] <White-Horse> yes i did do                     that on a windows 7 machine
[07:27] <glitchd> Glitchds_friend, hope i dont end up back here again
[07:27] <foobaru> varnie: you can add yourself to the sudoers file to not require a password for sudo or simply put the script in init.d
[07:27] <White-Horse> works 100%5555
[07:28] <White-Horse> this keyboard haaaaaaaas been working ever since 9.04
[07:28] <varnie> foobaru, you meant, put my script.sh into /etc/init.d/ , chmod x it and thats it ?
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> foobaru: doing so will completely negate any system security
[07:29] <White-Horse> i know iiiiiiiit is 100% supported by ubuntu
[07:29] <foobaru> ActionParsnip: If someone has access to his user shell he's already got problems.
[07:29] <varnie> well, i'll investigate these two solutions. putting myself in sudoers seems more accurate.
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> foobaru: if someone doesn't have his pass they can't use admin commands
[07:30] <sangeeth> I was told to use TOR for ovrcoming the proxy restriction in my College wifi... I have installed TOR and it's working fine with my ordinary internet connection... But, it can't be used on the Proxy restricted network... Should i have to give the proxy address of it in the PRIVOXY settings...
[07:30] <WarDamnEagle> Anyone have Eve Online working w/ Wine on MM?
[07:30] <bastidrazor> gogeta1: do you have a seperate /home or is everything on the / partition?
[07:30] <foobaru> ActionParsnip: Exactly. Adding his user to sudoer's file to not require a password doesn't change a thing. They'd still need access to the user account
[07:31] <White-Horse> its not thhhhhhhhe first time that when i forget and unplug a usb device when my laptop is on it nnnnver works again
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> WarDamnEagle: have you checked the appdb,?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> foobaru: true but malicious scripts in sites can then freely use sudo as the user is logged in
[07:31] <furi> alkisg, same error...
[07:31] <WarDamnEagle> Action: software center?
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: does a reboot fix it?
[07:32] <alkisg> furi: I didn't ask you to reboot, I was just asking information about your problem. Now you just cut the apt-get dist-upgrade in the middle...
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | WarDamnEagle
[07:32] <furi> alkisg, shoot...
[07:32] <furi> alkisg, i'm sorry
[07:32] <sangeeth> A little help with TOR please..
[07:32] <White-Horse> no i try to reboooooot wih it pluged in and out
[07:32] <varnie> okay, what's the proper way to execute script at startup time requiring sudo ?
[07:32] <ilab> Where is the equivalent of inittab in ubuntu?
[07:32] <WarDamnEagle> Action: ty
[07:32] <furi> alkisg, it tries to set the console screen modes and fonts
[07:32] <bastidrazor> !upstart | ilab
[07:33] <furi> then ^[[10;2R
[07:33] <foobaru> ActionParsnip: If he's in the habit of running malicious scripts then, yes.
[07:33] <bastidrazor> !boot | varnie
[07:33] <White-Horse> is there a command to restart all usb ports ?
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> varnie: reference it in /etc/rc.local and add an ampersand at the end of the name, also add it above the exit 0 line
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> foobaru: if you visit sites with them, its not a conscious choice
[07:34] <varnie> ActionParsnip, and what about sudo ?
[07:34] <bastidrazor> varnie: /etc/rc.local is executed by root
[07:34] <Guest83009> guys i just finished installing pc linux os on my pc i intended to dual boot it with ubuntu but i can no longer see the ubuntu entry in the grub menu how can i fix this
[07:34] <varnie> okay, thanks. now it's clear.
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> varnie: not necessary, the command will be ran as root. The command will run before the login promptshows
[07:34] <foobaru> ActionParsnip: I was unaware that any good browsers now allow scripts to access userspace without consent.
[07:35] <Jordan_U> Guest83009: Can you run boot info script (from a liveCD) as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ?
[07:35] <White-Horse> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/532189/
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: if you run: lsmod | grep usb ,you will see modules. Unload and reload them on the same command (seperate with semicolons)
[07:35] <Glitchds_friend> good nights and mornings every1
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> foobaru: not worth the risk is it?
[07:36] <Altheas> Does anyone happen to know why when i boot the ubuntu 10.04 installation CD and i click on install it loads and what not then gives me a purple background then just stops doing anything and stays there indefinitely?
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Altheas: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded?
[07:36] <foobaru> ActionParsnip: Well then they'd have access to him /home and all his sensitive information anyways...
[07:36] <Guest83009> altheas try addin the command nomodeset when it's booting up
[07:36] <White-Horse> like this lsmod | grep usb Unload ?
[07:36] <GnuBoi> I just now upgraded the evince in my ubuntu 10.04 to latest version using sudo apt-get install evince, now evince is not working. It gives: evince: symbol lookup error: evince: undefined symbol: ev_get_locale_dir
[07:37] <Altheas> i tried the nomodset twice. and what is md5 test?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> foobaru: yes but they will also be able to install stuff to the system.
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: no you need to use: sudo modprobe -r module; sudo modprobe module ,for each item you see
[07:38] <Altheas> ActionParsnip: What is md5 test?
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> Altheas: its a good way to test the iso you downloaded is correct
[07:38] <White-Horse> can i paste 4 lines here                   ?
[07:39] <foobaru> ActionParsnip: True so only potentially turning his box into a zombie is at risk. All his sensitive information is under /home anyways
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Altheas: you clearly haven't tested it so you dontknow if there are any errors
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | Altheas
[07:39] <White-Horse> its the output of thaaat command
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> foobaru: exactly
[07:39] <johnathan> guess no one can help me
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> johnathan:  theres always the forums and wiki pages
[07:39] <Altheas> ActionParsnip: ahhh ok thx i'll give it a try
[07:40] <White-Horse> lenovo@lenovo:~$ lsmod | grep usb

[07:40] <magn3ts> Whats the best/easiest way to connect to wifi from the command line?
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: none. It will just do it. Replace module in the command the modules listed in the list
[07:40] <sangeeth> How to change the proxy setting for my TOR software
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> johnathan:  i havent even seen/noticed the original problem. So cant really suggest anything else.
[07:41] <johnathan> every time I double click on the teamspeak 3 server install icon it does nothing
[07:41] <porjo> How can I make gnome panel appear on only one of my 4 virtual desktops - is it possible?
[07:41] <foobaru> magn3ts: Not sure if nm has a nice cli or curses interface - probably though. check the repos.  If not, wicd has a nice curses front end.
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: sudo modprobe -r usbhid; sudo modprobe usbhid
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> sangeeth:  tor config files in /etc/ perhaps?
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: iwconfig
[07:41] <magn3ts> iwconfig <interface> essid "name"
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: much easier to use wicd-curses
[07:41] <magn3ts> then just dh-client?
[07:42] <magn3ts> yeah, but w/ no internet, no wicd :P
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> sangeeth:  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/how-to-install-tor-in-ubuntu-1010.html
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: then iwconfig
[07:42] <sangeeth> Dr_Willis: You are AWESOME!!!
 White-Horse: sudo modprobe -r usbhid; sudo modprobe usbhid how do i get it back
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: if you use security, you will need to provide that too
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: get what back?
[07:43] <White-Horse> the usb ports
[07:43] <ilab> alkisg: got it to work. turns out when I removed the packages it never installed the kde libraries it said it was going ot
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: the first half removes the driver for the ports, the 2ndhalf reloads it
[07:43] <dodo> has anyone here gotten proxychains to work lucid
[07:43] <White-Horse> oh ok
[07:44] <MiGri> hello
[07:44] <White-Horse> so i do that command for both
[07:44] <monday> hi
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> sangeeth:  i just googled for 10.10 ubuntu tor install
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: I think it should do both already :)
[07:44] <MiGri> does anyone knows a ppa where i can get ejabberd 2.1.4 or 2.1.5 for lucid? there is a big bug in 2.1.2
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | MiGri
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> MiGri: thatlink will let you search the ppas
[07:45] <arvind_khadri> MiGri, try launchpad
[07:46] <TwoD> Why is the dialog for entering social accounts popping up at regular intervals without indicating why?
[07:46] <sangeeth> Dr_Willis:  :-))
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: can I pm you please dude?
[07:47] <MiGri> arvind_khadri: I put that bug on launchpad in june already. but it is not fixed.
[07:47] <White-Horse> i did it and its still doing the same thing
[07:47] <MiGri> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ejabberd/+bug/596676
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: that's all I got,sorry. Maybe someone else can chip in
[07:47] <foobaru> White-Horse: What exactly is the keyboard doing wrong?
[07:48] <sangeeth> Anyone know a best tutorial for learning the Linux Kernel 0.01...
[07:48] <White-Horse> wellllll wen i try to tyyyyyyyyyyyyyy it dooos wht yo see
[07:48] <foobaru> White-Horse: o.O
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> sangeeth: i'd ask in the #linux channel, there is no best
[07:48] <White-Horse> its doing that
[07:48] <bullgard4> Nautilus > right-click on a filename foo > Properties > (Properties of foo) > Tags will show a list of perhaps 40 entries. I did not make this list. Who has made this list? What is the function of this list?
[07:48] <sangeeth> ActionParsnip: Thanks...
[07:49] <palam> what's a good place to setup iptable files? if-up.d or if-pre-up.d?
[07:49] <foobaru> White-Horse: Have you rebooted since the problem occured?
[07:49] <MiGri> ActionParsnip: i found a ppa in that list but the elisting is not correct. there is no ejabberd in the ppa
[07:49] <White-Horse> it never had a prom untill i unpluged it whhhhn my laptop on
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> MiGri: bah
[07:49] <MiGri> ActionParsnip: https://launchpad.net/~suraia/+archive/server
[07:49] <TwoD> bullgard4: the icons list?
[07:49] <White-Horse> yes iiiiiiiiiiire reboot many timessssssss
[07:50] <bullgard4> TwoD: yes.
[07:50] <White-Horse> crazy keyboard !
[07:51] <TwoD> bullgard4: it allows you to add one or more tags/icons to a file. As simple as that. =)
[07:51] <TwoD> bullgard4: I believe you can add your own icons too, though I don't remember the details.
[07:51] <TwoD> bullgard4: check a few and see what happens.
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> White-Horse: i'd just reboot
[07:52] <glitchd> who was i just tlakin to???
[07:52] <TwoD> And there goes the social accounts dialog again. How do I make it stop bugging me? Or at least find out why it opens all the time?
[07:52] <share> not me
[07:52] <White-Horse> ooooooook i will trrrrrrrry and reboot again
[07:53] <White-Horse> thanks everyone
[07:53] <MiGri> ActionParsnip: and the other ppa with ejabberd have only versions < 2.1.4
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> MiGri: you mayhave to compile then
[07:54] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, its still freezes at the desktop
[07:54] <MiGri> how can i set up the urgency of a known bug in launchpad?
[07:54] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, is there anything u can think of that would make it freeze?
[07:54] <bullgard4> TwoD: You did not answer my question I asked: Who has made this list? I did not make it. And I cannot see any relation to the file whose name I highlighted.
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: bad ram springs to mind. Have you tested your ram?
[07:55] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, im sure my ram is fine
[07:55] <glitchd> it boots into safemode and into windows just fine
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: you don't know for sure though
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: what video chip are you using?
[07:56] <glitchd> it lets me click a few things then it freezes the desktop, but i can still move the mouse around just not click anything
[07:56] <foobaru> ActionParsnip, glitchd: We had some bad samsung ram at work that kept freezing our PCs randomly
[07:56] <glitchd> im sure my ram didnt go bad in the last hour
[07:56] <ranjan> Hi all
[07:57] <ranjan> is the mesa-dri-experimental package available for ubuntu??
[07:57] <lucent> glitchd: "im sure my ram didn't go bad in the last _____"  => uh-oh :(
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: id check the ram, its an option in grub. Just run it for afew mins for a quick test. You need to remove things you know are good to narrowdown to the fault
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: what video chip do you use?
[07:57] <glitchd> im not sure about the vid chip
[07:57] <lucent> glitchd: also of note, I have a laptop that behaves erratically if an express card is not fully inserted
[07:58] <glitchd> i think its nvidia somthing
[07:58] <lucent> so it could be uh, grounding issue from something random you wouldn't expect
[07:58] <glitchd> i dont have an express card
[07:58] <lucent> nor do I, anymore ;)
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: boot to root recovery mode. It will tell you the chip if you run: lspci ,and read
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: nvidia something is enought
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: boot to root recovery mode and run: dpkg -l | grep nouve ,remove the nouveau package (I forget the full name). Reboot and you will use the nv driver
[07:59] <TwoD> bullgard4: I don't know who made it, but it's the same for all files.
[08:00] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series
[08:00] <TwoD> bullgard4: It's just a default set, thought that was pretty obvious since you didn't make it. ;)
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: you can then use the driver app to install the nvidia driver if you wish, as well as get updates
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: I see, hmmm
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: could blacklist the ati driver and the radeon driver to force the OS to use the vesa driver
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: then get updates etc andunblacklist

[08:02] <eureka_> hi all!
[08:02] <eureka_> can i install office for mac on ubuntu?
[08:02] <glitchd> ok
[08:02] <furi> can someone please tell alkisg to ping me when he gets back on?
[08:02] <[thor]> cd ..
[08:03]  * lucent cheers for fail
[08:03] <foobaru> eureka_: Why does it have to be office for mac?
[08:03] <[thor]> oops, switched desktops but not windows :/
[08:04] <furi> can someone please tell alkisg to ping me when he gets back on?
[08:04] <bullgard4> TwoD: I can't help but thinking that you are a frolic man. --  Yes, it is the same for all files. And the contents has nothing to do with the contents of the currently highlighted file. Even your "default set" stems somewhere.
[08:04] <lucent> [thor]: I'm joking, it's not meant to ridicule you
[08:04] <ndxtg> anyone using 10.10? how to customize sound ? there is no option to customize sound for specific thing (alert, new mail etc.) in preference
[08:04] <eureka_> foobaru : just curious
[08:04] <[thor]> lucent: don't sweat it, irc is not srs bsns.
[08:05] <furi> can someone please tell alkisg to ping me when he gets back on?
[08:05] <sexcopter> Hi. Want to set up a samba fileserver. before I get going, is there a natural way to make it only respond to machines on the router (ie 192.168.1.x subnet)? I'm not a whizz at networking... does the secret lie with "interfaces" and "bind interfaces only" options in smb.conf?
[08:05] <bullgard4> !sound | ndxtg
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> furi:  theres a memoserver that can send him a memo
[08:05] <Dr_Willis>  /msg memoserv help
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> If he notices it. :)
[08:05] <foobaru> eureka_: I doubt it. You'd have better luck getting ms office under wine... but really why not just use libre/openoffice or googledocs?
[08:06] <foobaru> eureka_: They support all the same formats.
[08:06] <aeMaeth> ndxtg, i manually converted and renamed the files i waned to play, replacing the old ones, i'm sure this isn't recommended
[08:06] <emma> what is the probability that this laptop would work well with linux (ubuntu) --- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+-+Inspiron+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Pentium%26%23174%3B+Processor+/+14%22+Display+/+4GB+Memory+/+500GB+Hard+Drive+-+Peacock+Blue/1179772.p?skuId=1179772&id=1218231025921
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> sexcopter:  i think smb.conf can also have ip only limits.  I would hav to double check the samba-docs to be sure of the exact syntax
[08:06] <lucent> emma: eh, some of it will work
[08:06] <ndxtg> aeMaeth: please tell me location :D
[08:07] <lucent> emma: why do you need it to work with Ubuntu linux?
[08:07] <eureka_> foobaru : openoffice sometimes it doesn't work very well in my language and keyboard.
[08:07] <furi> odd, says he's online
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> emma:  i find in these days . its often 'little' things about new laptosp that dont work.. for a while.. then in the next release they get fixed.
[08:07] <furi> but he's not on the userlist
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> furi:  he may not be in this channel
[08:07] <emma> lucent: what do you mean some of it will work?
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> furi:  try /whois WHOEVER
[08:07] <emma> Dr_Willis: the most important thing to me on a laptop is the wifi
[08:07] <eureka_> foobaru : but it's ok . and just want to know can or can't . office for win through wine i knew . thanks
[08:07] <emma> do we know if the wifi will work on that laptop?
[08:07] <ranjan> anybody here tried the mesa driver for nvidia?
[08:07] <sexcopter> Dr_Willis, thanks. Just to check, am I posing the right question? You know what I'm trying to do, right?
[08:07] <lucent> emma: vauge question, vague answer. :/
[08:08] <lucent> okay, the wifi, need to find out what chipset Dell 1501 wireless is
[08:08] <airtonix> emma, you need to get the spec sheet which will hopefully show the wifi chip
[08:08] <aeMaeth> ndxtg, it's either /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo or /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts
[08:08] <emma> it's not that vauge a question. It's very specific. It's very specific make and model of laptop.
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> lucent: sudo lshw -C network ,will tell you
[08:08] <aeMaeth> ndxtg, to find that i searched for *.ogg
[08:08] <lucent> ActionParsnip: ...
[08:09] <lucent> helpful, and yet, not paying attention
[08:09] <airtonix> emma, ie my hp mini311 comes in about 8 flavours some of which have different wifi chips.
[08:09] <foobaru> emma: Pretty much every mainstream laptop is supported. Mainly you need to check video card and nic. Linux drivers are very mature and diverse compared to what they used to be.
[08:09] <Dr_Willis> sexcopter:  Im sure samba has some way to only share based on ip. or you could set up some firewall rules for local lan onluy.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> lucent: if you run the command it will display information about all attached network interfaces including chip
[08:09] <Dr_Willis> sexcopter:  My router dosent allow smb traffic in/out to the internet also..
[08:09] <lucent> ActionParsnip: we're speaking of a hypothetical laptop, so while your advice is sound it is also funny and not applying to the discussion
[08:10] <lucent> sorry.
[08:10] <aeMaeth> foobaru, nic cards? i figured that would be pretty basic, some brands don't have support?
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> lucent: why funny?
[08:10] <lucent> funny is not the best word
[08:10] <foobaru> aeMaeth: Some require more work to get functioning. ndiswrapper and such.
[08:10] <[thor]> emma: you could try bringing a livecd to bestbuy and booting to it :D
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> lucent: I get what you mean with the hypothetical bit
[08:10] <glitchd> who was just helping me??
[08:10] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, hey
[08:11] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, so i fixed it
[08:11] <airtonix> !enter
[08:11] <aeMaeth> emma, in fact, i would demand they do it for you, also record this for youtube
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: you really need tolearn to scroll up, or remember better :)
[08:11] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, ull never guess what i did
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: what happened?
[08:11] <foobaru> aeMaeth: Or some firmware isn't included in the kernel which would require compiling before it's wifi capapble.
[08:11] <ndxtg> aeMaeth: thank you :)
[08:12] <[thor]> glitchd: don't leave out details, this might help others.
[08:12] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, what do i need to remember better??
[08:12] <aeMaeth> foobaru, ah, i didn't know you were refering to wireless
[08:12] <lucent> emma: are you going to purchase in-person?   It's reasonable to request that the sales person allow you to run a livecd in the system, tell them it is your music or something
[08:12] <slgma> what url do you put into transmission to get the blocklist to update?
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: who you converse with
[08:12] <aeMaeth> ndxtg, any time
[08:12] <lucent> the word "Ubuntu" or linux might scare some poor sales team person
[08:12] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, yea i have a banged up brain, sry for the inconvenience.
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: so what was the magic bullet?
[08:13] <emma> lucent: yeah i was goinag to buy it in person probably. I'll take a live CD
[08:13] <aeMaeth> lucent, hah, but you dont' have to reboot for music, i think best to lay out the plan flat, and either they turn you away or no
[08:13] <[thor]> look for the sales rep with the penguin lapel in.
[08:13] <[thor]> s/in/pin
[08:13] <aeMaeth> they train them that linux is less secure
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> [thor]: nice
[08:13] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, [thor], surprisingly, all i did was sudo apt-get update, logged back in and it went in fully...weird.
[08:13] <foobaru> [thor]: Does best buy have linux certified employees?
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: just update? Not upgrade too?
[08:14] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, [thor] thank you for your efforts to help me fix the problem
[08:14] <SAngeli> Hi, I have a simple question: I have ubuntu desktop and created an administrator account. I installed one application. I also have a Desktop user and wish to copy the shortcut of the application installed and also let this application run on the desktop user with obviously less priviledges. How to do so? ANy doc on the Internet I can read or advice, please
[08:14] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, nope i didnt do upgrade
[08:14] <[thor]> foobaru: i'm pretty sure they will try to frog-march her out the door with torches ablaze.
[08:14] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, but i will now
[08:14] <lucent> aeMaeth: having been a sales team person, I can share with you that they don't care about making a sale unless you're buying a store warranty, "Need to see if my music will play" and they will leave you alone unless you have a stalkerish sales person
[08:14] <foobaru> [thor]: They fear what they do not understand ;P
[08:14] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, no upgrades
[08:14] <nbca> SAngeli: use chmod
[08:15] <aeMaeth> lucent, true, i'm afraid we're going to OT land on that, so either bring it to ubuntu-offtopic or pm me please
[08:15] <lucent> almost as bad, a sales person who knows what Ubuntu is and lives with their parents
[08:15] <lucent> I digress.
[08:15] <glitchd> thx again guys.
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> SAngeli: copy it to /home/username/Desktop ,you will need sudo to get write access. I also suggest you chown the file to the user
[08:15] <SAngeli> nbca, ok, so I would create perhaps a new group and assign use chmod?
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> SAngeli:  installed what exactly and how?
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> glitchd: very weird, but its working so who cares :)
[08:16] <nbca> SAngeli: no just copy the shortcut and chmod it
[08:16] <lucent> emma: there are laptops which have been certified for Ubuntu, are you aware?
[08:16] <glitchd> ActionParsnip, indeed sir, indeed
[08:16] <SAngeli> Dr_Willis, I installed this application as administrator. So all I know is that I can see the application and I can run it from the Administrator account.
[08:16] <glitchd> adios
[08:16] <SAngeli> I cannot even cp the file to the user account
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> SAngeli: make a symlink to the file on the users desktop
[08:16] <TwoD> bullgard4: Frolic man? Nobody's ever called me that before. I'm not a native English speaker so I'm not sure what it means either hehe
[08:16] <avogadro> shouldn't ubuntu ask for a password when you do sudo su ?
[08:16] <[thor]> sudo cp filename destination ?
[08:16] <SAngeli> ActionParsnip, I have access denied
[08:17] <lucent> avogadro: not always, it remembers if you've authenticated recently
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> SAngeli: when you make the link or when its ran?
[08:17] <Dr_Willis> SAngeli:  installed what?  and how?  You mean you ran some whatever.run as root? or  are we talking about some wine app?
[08:17] <karthick87> I have the package kdelicious installed (Maverick), and would expect to use its extensions in Konqueror. How do I enable it?
[08:17] <SAngeli> ActionParsnip, when creating the link
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> avogadro: if you are in the sudo grace period, no
[08:17] <TwoD> bullgard4: Why does it matter who put the icons there?
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> santos_: then add sudo to the start of the link command
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> SAngeli: ^
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> santos_: wrongtarget, my bad
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> avogadro: sudo -i is advised. Instead of sudo su
[08:19] <nbca> ActionParsnip: why is that?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> nbca: can't remember but I'm verytired and my brain is fairly frazzled
[08:19] <Shariq_M> hi, anybody knows how to move wondows to seperate desktops using the keyboard ?
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> nbca:  better secrity practice.. less redundant, and sets up the system enviroment properly
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> security is half 'practice and habbits' :)
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Shariq_M: look in keyboard shortcuts, there are shortcuts for it,you can also right click the decorator and move it that way
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> Shariq_M:  i belive compiz has some ways to do that also.
[08:21] <Shariq_M> ah ok
[08:21] <foobaru> ActionParsnip: Because it keeps the important user shell environment varialbes I believe. Keeps them in /home with the terminal layout - or something along those lines
[08:21] <nbca> sudo su and sudo -i does the SAME?
[08:21] <aagatha> haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[08:21] <jpds> nbca: No.
[08:21] <Shariq_M> i want keyboard shortcuts :)
[08:21] <nbca> caps on the last word
[08:21] <aeMaeth> Shariq_M, the compiz setting might be in "rotate cube"  under "Rotate to cube face with window"
[08:21] <bullgard4> TwoD: '~dict frolic; From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:   frolic:   v 1: play boisterously; "The children frolicked in the garden"; "the gamboling lambs in the meadows"; "The toddlers romped in the playroom" [syn: {frolic}, {lark}, {rollick}, {skylark}, {disport}, {sport}, {cavort}, {gambol}, {frisk}, {romp}, {run around}, {lark about}]".  --  It matters because I am not sure what will happen...
[08:21] <bullgard4> ...if I delete the list and make my own entries.
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> nbca: sure visually, but under the hood its different
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> nbca:  they are not identical in every respect..  they are close.. but not identical
[08:21] <Shariq_M> and also whats the show desktop shortcut .. as in to minimize all wondows ?
[08:21] <jpds> nbca: 'sudo -i' resets the environment correctly.
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Shariq_M: super+d
[08:22] <[thor]> Shariq_M: have you opened Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts ?
[08:22] <nbca> jpds: ah, thanks
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Shariq_M: same as in windows
[08:22] <Shariq_M> yes
[08:22] <StaRetji> Folks, I'm getting this when I try to reboot as user root: reboot Command 'reboot' is available in '/sbin/reboot' The command could not be located because '/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable. This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative privileges associated with your user account. reboot: command not found
[08:22] <Shariq_M> whats super ? :O
[08:23] <[thor]> super == windows key
[08:23] <jpds> Shariq_M: 'Windows' key.
[08:23] <StaRetji> Help needed, why is this happening? How can it be with the root privileges? New install maverick...
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Shariq_M: windows key is called super in linux
[08:23] <jpds> StaRetji: Used sudo before?
[08:23] <Shariq_M> windowd + d wont work for me :(
[08:23] <StaRetji> jpds, nope, I used su
[08:23] <StaRetji> and entered as root
[08:23] <StaRetji> root@ubuntu
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> StaRetji: log a bug, you can add to the $PATH in $HOME/.bashrc
[08:23] <alkisg> furi: please stop sending me memoserv messages
[08:24] <furi> alkisg, odd... it didn't say you were on here
[08:24] <furi> alkisg, sorry
[08:24] <alkisg> furi: I gave it a shot at trying to help you, but appareantly we can't communicate good enough
[08:24] <Altheas> ok so i tried the md5 which got me b4faa186c2419dc26e522e5f82e268a1 hash it checkout at the ubuntu hashes page. i booted off my flash drive everything worked perfectly pressed enter for english followed by f6 to check nomodset followed by install, and still it gives me nothing but a frozen background. any suggestions?
[08:24] <jpds> !sudo | StaRetji
[08:24] <furi> alkisg, i'm sorry, i thought you were asking me to try booting again...
[08:24] <furi> alkisg, i won't be so quick to think like that
[08:24] <TwoD> bullgard4: Well, I suppose the files having any of the tags being deleted will no longer have those tags, or at least not the icon associated with it. Why not assign a tag to a file, move/delete the icon and see what happens?
[08:24] <furi> alkisg, i mean, if you're even up to do what you did again
[08:25] <StaRetji> jpds, I'm running staff as root, I really have to, so why do I need to run sudo as root? I'm trying to avoid that :/
[08:25] <furi> alkisg, when you ran that command, by the way, it made me logout on the xubuntu disc, so i had to re-login
[08:25] <TwoD> StaRetji: if you're running as root, you don't need sudo.
[08:25] <StaRetji> ActionParsnip: Thx, I may be messing with ./bashrc can't be sure.
[08:25] <alkisg> furi: that was just an apt-get dist-upgrade, to update your system
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Altheas: test ram as well as the usb health.  You can do this by pressing spacebar as the usb boots and select the option from the subsequent menu
[08:25] <alkisg> furi: sorry, no time now
[08:25] <furi> alkisg, okay
[08:26] <Shariq_M> is there a minimize all windows command ?
[08:26] <StaRetji> TwoD: yep, that's why is strange I get the error above, but ActionParsnip gave me a clue
[08:26] <Altheas> ActionParsnip: k i'll give that a shot
[08:26] <furi> alkisg, can't i just do the dist-upgrade on a chrooted terminal?
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> StaRetji: backup the file before editting so you have a good file to rollback to. If youneed
[08:26] <[thor]> Shariq_M: in Keyboard Shortcuts, set the key sequence for "Hide all normal windows and set focus to desktop" to whatever shortcut you wish. http://uppix.net/2/3/8/6c29f4298f26d8f722258c4cc8dbe.png
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> Shariq_M:  i belive compiz can do that via a shortcut also.. or theres icons for the panel that can do that.
[08:26] <alkisg> furi: yes, that's exactly what I tried before you went on and rebooted in the middle of it :)
[08:26] <furi> alkisg, yeah, i'm sorry
[08:27] <furi> alkisg, it appeared to have been finished, because it logged me out... i guess i'm just stupid like that
[08:27] <StaRetji> ActionParsnip: thx, I've just checked, I didn't edited that file, but I'll backup and play with it.
[08:27] <Shariq_M> its ctrl+alt+D :)
[08:28] <furi> alkisg, was there any other steps necessary to this that i may need to take?
[08:28] <furi> alkisg, or is everything set
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> Shariq_M: you can set it to anything you wish
[08:28] <Shariq_M> [thor], Dr_Willis, thanks a bunch
[08:28] <Shariq_M> :)
[08:28] <alkisg> furi: apt-get dist-upgrade wouldn't log you out afaik. Sorry, no time now to help you.
[08:28] <furi> alkisg, okay
[08:29] <StaRetji> ActionParsnip: I don't see PATH column in .bashrc. Is there a easy way to tell ubuntu to gove permissions to all paths for user root? It is a htpc install, nothing important, I need root privileges to run some bash scripts.
[08:29] <furi> alkisg, by the looks of it, it's downloading kde libs...
[08:29] <furi> oh, he left.
[08:29] <Dr_Willis> StaRetji:  you can set the default path in numerous ways. but You may be going about this the wrong way
[08:29] <bullgard4> TwoD: Trial and error is a very inefficient method in mastering Linux usage. I am testing and testing again Linux features for more than 3 years now and still have not gained a comprehensive command of Linux. --  Have you ever heard that a deductive procedure in natural science is much more efficient?
[08:29] <DannyButterman> Hi there. Can someone explain me how to sync two directories over two different machines ? I've used all kind of syntaxes, to no avail.
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> StaRetji:  export PATH=$PATH:/new/path/stuff/here:/anotherpath/here
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> StaRetji: you need to add a line at the bottom. I'll be something like: export PATH=$PATH;/sbin
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> StaRetji: websearch to verify
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> StaRetji:  just adding things to your PATH are not gouing to give you root privileges. its just lettting you run commands without givinf the full path.
[08:31] <Dr_Willis> My Default PATH here....
[08:31] <Dr_Willis>  echo $PATH
[08:31] <Dr_Willis> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[08:31] <StaRetji> Dr_Willis: yep, that would be enough, I'm root already
[08:31] <foobaru> So then root doesn't have the right path.
[08:31] <Dr_Willis> sounds like you are becomming root in an odd way. :) or somthing has altered your PATH.
[08:31] <StaRetji> Dr_Willis: thx for help
[08:32] <StaRetji> Dr_Willis: strange thing is, it's fresh install :/
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> StaRetji:  and how are you becoming root?
[08:32] <Ronaldo_> What is the latest version of Ubuntu to work on imac G5 (ppc)?
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> !ppc
[08:32] <StaRetji> Dr_Willis: I autologin root using slim and xfce4
[08:32] <zamba> is it possible to disable gnome-keyring through gconf?
[08:32] <TwoD> bullgard4: Of course, but to find out what happens in this case, one only needs to try once, which is probably going to take a lot less time than finding the documentation detailing it. ;)
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> StaRetji:  err.. you are logging into X as root?
[08:33] <StaRetji> Dr_Willis: Yes, but don't worry, it's just htpc with xbmc
[08:33] <yehia> morning from my side - i was wondering if some body can guide me please - is there a desktop manager for blackberry phones which works on ubuntu 10,10 ?
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> StaRetji:  one normally dosent directly login as root.. one logs in as the user. (that sets the path up) then changes to root.. thats the core of your problem i imagine.
[08:33] <bullgard4> TwoD: Thank you for commenting.
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> StaRetji:  i cant even imagine why you need tobe logging in as root even if its just a  HTPC..
[08:33] <StaRetji> Dr_Willis: I run lots of bash scripts and some of them can run only as root
[08:34] <yehia> morning from my side - i was wondering if some body can guide me please - is there a desktop manager for blackberry phones which works on ubuntu 10,10 ?
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> StaRetji:  You can set up sudo to allow  things to run as root...
[08:34] <StaRetji> Dr_Willis: did that, but strange thing, some commands where failing, if I ran scripts as a root, it works well
[08:34] <TwoD> bullgard4: You're welcome. Wish I could say what actually happens for sure, but I've never needed to remove any of them. If you do find out while I'm here, mind telling?
[08:35] <yehia> morning from my side - i was wondering if some body can guide me please - is there a desktop manager for blackberry phones which works on ubuntu 10,10 ?
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> yehia:  what does a deskktop manager for a phone do exactly? You got Ubuntu On yur Phone?
[08:35] <CIDR> I'm looking around on a guide to load balance, I know bonding isn't possible, multiple dhcp connections.  Any ideas?
[08:35] <StaRetji> Dr_Willis: btw, adding path solved the problem ;) THX!
[08:35] <Ronaldo_> Thanks :D
[08:36] <paranoidi> I'm running `netcat -l 5000` on my server with firewalls down .. why I cannot connect to this? what can possibly be c0ckblocking the connection?
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> StaRetji:  by logging in directly as root.. you are bypassing a lot of the 'setup' stuff I am thinking..
[08:36] <bullgard4> TwoD: I will do. But I am afraid I will not succeed today.
[08:36] <zamba> i have no System - Administration - Language support
[08:37] <yehia> Dr_Willis : no i have got blackberry phone - normal blackberry - and i was using Windows for accessing my phone to install some new programs and to manage my phone - as you know something like  ( Nokia suite)
[08:37] <ir4ta> paranoidi: wrong syntax in netcat
[08:37] <TwoD> paranoidi: "firewalls down" includes iptables' rules, and any walls in routers on the path (if it's not just local)?
[08:37] <StaRetji> Dr_Willis: hm, that would not be good. I'll test a bit.
[08:37] <paranoidi> TwoD: iptables being completely empty
[08:37] <paranoidi> ir4ta: please do point out the error
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> yehia:  so you want a phone 'mananager' :) a 'window manager' is somthing totally different in Linux/X terms..
[08:38] <yehia> Dr_Willis : so iam searching for the application which can allow me to manage my phone but on ubuntu
[08:38] <DannyButterman> Hi there. Can someone explain me how to sync two directories over two different machines ? I've used all kind of syntaxes, to no avail
[08:38] <alkisg> Can I see the packages in lucid-proposed anywhere? E.g. this is for lucid-backports: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-backports/allpackages
[08:38] <ir4ta> paranoidi: please try netcat -l -p 5000
[08:38] <i5noc> DannyButterman, try rsync
[08:39] <paranoidi> ir4ta: that is what I originally remembered that the command was but it just gives syntax manual
[08:40] <DannyButterman> i5noc: I'm already using rsync, but something is wrong, there are still missing files on the destination directory
[08:40] <ir4ta> paranoidi: hm .. i'm on version [v1.10-36]
[08:40] <ir4ta> paranoidi: what does netcat -h show you
[08:40] <alkisg> paranoidi: netcat -l 5000 ?
[08:41] <paranoidi> ir4ta: OpenBSD netcat (Debian patchlevel 1.89-3ubuntu2) ... weird
[08:41] <paranoidi> alkisg: yes .. that works but I cannot connect to it except locally
[08:41] <Maahes> DannyButterman: ....have you tried using nautilus' merge function? It's just a frontend to rysnc but it's worked for me for that purpose. It obviously won't work if you need a script to do this repeatedly of course.
[08:41] <i5noc> DannyButterman, check your permissions
[08:41] <i5noc> as root: rysnc -avW --progress
[08:42] <i5noc> should show any errors as you go along
[08:42] <alkisg> paranoidi: I didn't see your original question, you can't connect to netcat listening on port 5000 from a remote system?
[08:42] <ir4ta> paranoidi: maybe -vv verbose will give additional infosmations
[08:42] <anygivenname> when I connect to my Ubuntu thru VNC Viewer, the full screen mode shows the screen in 3/4 surrounded by black....any solutions to this ?
[08:42] <paranoidi> alkisg: yes, I'm trying to see that the port is really connectable since other app I'm trying to get public does not work either
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  ive seen that asked in here befor. but never really seen a fix. Try some other vnc viwewers. or perhaps try some options to your current viewer?
[08:43] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  your viewer machine has high enough res to show all of the remote desktop? ot could be shrinking it down for some reason.
[08:45] <zamba> how do i disable the login sound in ubuntu?
[08:45] <anygivenname> I have got another vnc viewer....it zooms in but this is not a fix.....to reach the normal full screen...I have to zoom in @ 135%
[08:45] <zamba> through gconf
[08:45] <alkisg> paranoidi: is that specific to nc? I mean, can you see any other open ports like ssh or cups etc?
[08:46] <paranoidi> alkisg: everything else works fine, I'm running apache ssh etc ..
[08:48] <TwoD> bullgard4: Removing the standard emblems might not be so easy. Adding/removing custom ones is easily done via Nautilu's Edit menu though. http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81767
[08:49] <paranoidi> I'm about to smash something, why the f... does this not work
[08:50] <paranoidi> I tried even some simple python script to listen a port and NOTHING
[08:51] <bullgard4> TwoD: Your article is of 2007. What I am interested in is of Maverick and has appeared much later than 2007 in Nautilus.
[08:52] <Maahes> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    means I should be able to write to a folder correct? If I use sudo or sudo su.
[08:53] <alkisg> paranoidi: are you trying to check the port from a pc on the local network? And, do you have a firewall running?
[08:53] <foobaru> Maahes: means anyone can do that
[08:53] <alkisg> Maahes: l in the front means symbolic link
[08:53] <paranoidi> alkisg: iptables --list is empty, it works from localhost but not from remote
[08:53] <alkisg> Maahes: the permissions of the symbolic links are not taken into account
[08:54] <alkisg> paranoidi: remote from the local network or from e.g. behind a router where you would also need port forwarding etc?
[08:54] <alkisg> paranoidi: I mean, check if it's a server problem or a problem in some other component of you network
[08:55] <TwoD> bullgard4: I don't know how long they've been there, but it's a long time... The text is still valid though, standard emblems can't be removed easily because things depend on them being there.
[08:55] <paranoidi> alkisg: there are no other components, the machine is directly bridged to ISP
[08:56] <mieke> hey guys, I have this big problem. I need to connect to a samba share wich I could connect to before my reinstall of ubuntu but now I doesn't work anymore When I type smbclient //the/path it gives me Connection to **** failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) I need to get this working
[08:56] <alkisg> paranoidi: and are you sure your ISP doesn't have any firewalls active?
[08:56] <paranoidi> alkisg: not at least on the server side .. hmm, dunno about the computer I'm using to test :)
[08:57] <Maahes> I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem with my touchpad, and one solution mentioned involves creating a script with two entries: echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/unbind and bind, respectfully, I have: drwxr-xr-x on the directory, but I cannot write to the directory, that script fails, touch fails, etc.
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> mieke:  try entering the  path/name via ip instead of 'name' as a test. also check out findsmb and smbtree command outputs. they may give a clue
[08:59] <mieke> Dr_willis: I did use the ip, I'll test de findsmb and smbtree tx
[08:59] <anygivenname> how do I change the screen resolution ?
[09:00] <alkisg> Maahes: /sys/* directories are not normal directories, they're exposed by the kernel. You can't create new files there, you can only modify some existing files. Do you see an "unbind" file at that path?
[09:00] <Maahes> alkisg: no. This solution was from a post circa 2008, so that is probably why.
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> mieke:  im constantly having issues with samba lately :(  if i use the ip# it seems to work better.
[09:01] <alkisg> anygivenname: on gnome? from system > settings > screens...
[09:01] <alkisg> (or monitors, not sure, not using english menus)
[09:02] <Maahes> I've been messing with this for forever. I've tried adding i8042.nomux .quiet .reset, I've tried working with tpconfig, loading and unloading kernel modules, using XF86TouchpadToggle, etc. etc. After a suspend my touchpad stops functioning.

[09:02] <anygivenname> yes probably monitors
[09:03] <anygivenname> it says RANDR extension not present
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  whats your video card and drivers you aerw using?
[09:03] <anygivenname> doesnt seem it can open it remotely
[09:03] <alkisg> anygivenname: if yoyu run this command on a terminal, what are the commands? lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA
[09:03] <anygivenname> cause I remember opening it from on the server
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  remotely? You doing this over vnc?
[09:04] <alkisg> anygivenname: how are you connecting remotely? It should work with vnc.
[09:04] <alkisg> *the results
[09:04] <anygivenname> yes cause I am far away
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> you are sjhareing the current desktop over vnc? or are you running your own vncserver, so you have a 'hidden' desktop?
[09:04] <anygivenname> i am connected throug vnc viewer
[09:05] <anygivenname> but it is showing my server desktop in small screen surrounded by black
[09:05] <anygivenname> i want it to fill the whole screen
[09:06] <alkisg> anygivenname: what vnc server are you using?
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  its showing the 'locally shown' desktop? or did you ssh in and start 'vncserver' ?
[09:06] <anygivenname> yes
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> 'yes to what part......'
[09:06] <anygivenname> ssh by putty
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  so its showing the gnome/local desktop? or a hidden desktop?
[09:07] <jcg> date
[09:07] <anygivenname> showing gnome desktop
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> You can install xming , and ssh in, and run specific apps and have them appeaer locally on a windows box also.. and totally skip VNC. :)
[09:08] <anygivenname> but not using full screen
[09:08] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  You may want to use a stand alone vnc server, and a lighter desktop. It could be the gnome built in vncserver is causing the issues.
[09:08] <alkisg> anygivenname: can you describe how you started the vnc server?
[09:08] <anygivenname> alkisg: what do u mean ?
[09:09] <alkisg> anygivenname: connecting with ssh doesn't give you vnc normally
[09:09] <alkisg> vnc is unrelated to ssh
[09:09] <annet> what is vnc
[09:09] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  theres 2 ways  You can do 'vnc' - You can use the GNOME built in vnc server. (vino/vinigre) or ssh in and instll/run a vncserver sich as tightvnc, or vnc4server
[09:10] <anygivenname> yes I have tighvnc on the server
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:   So you might want to check teh various tightvnc options.
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  you also may want to check into 'freenx' it will be faster then vnc and more secure.
[09:12] <anygivenname> lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA

[09:12] <mieke> Dr_Willis: I get this: \\ENTERPRISE     		X4170 - PCShare 4.5
[09:12] <mieke> cli_start_connection: failed to connect to ENTERPRISE<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
[09:12] <anygivenname> my client is running Win XP
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  if you dont need a 'full desktop' in a window. You mau want to check out 'xming' on windows also.. it would let you run  spefiic apps and have them appear on the windows box. No need for a full desktop.
[09:13] <alkisg> anygivenname: freenx or neatx will be much faster & easier to configure than tightvnc
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> mieke:  ive seen similer erorrs on some lan machines. never did figure out why they gave bad names.. or why they said their ip was 0.0.0.0
[09:13] <alkisg> anygivenname: (for new, "hidden" desktops). For an existing session already running on the remote PC, you can use the preinstalled vino-server
[09:13] <anygivenname> I have not configured tighvnc....only installed it on the server
[09:14] <alkisg> anygivenname: right, that's why you're getting a small resolution. With freenx you can tell it to use the client resolution.
[09:14] <anygivenname> what about the built in vnc ?
[09:14] <aeMaeth> i was getting a similar problem, it was showing me a desktop, but it was a 2nd desktop that seemed to have no effect on the computer
[09:15] <Chiggins> hello... whats the correct package to install for java 1.6 ?
[09:15] <mieke> Dr_Willis: I was able to connect yesterday.. any ideas?
[09:16] <alkisg> anygivenname: vino-server is very easy to use *IF* the user you're trying to connect to is already logged on with X running on that remote PC.
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> mieke:  ive had it where shares break then come back...  Seems the more stuff MS does. and samba does.. the flaker samba and windows shares get. :)
[09:16] <s093294> I configured with pptp-linux two vpn connections i open them with sudo pon vpn1, or pon vpn2  - both work. But if i try to open both at the same time it looks like the second one just takes over ppp0, not posible to have two open vpn connections on ppp0 and ppp1 ?
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> aeMaeth:  with vnc you could be shareing several dozen (or more) virtual desktops tha are only viewable via a vncserver.
[09:17] <anygivenname> is there a way to select which vnc the server to use ?
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  if you ssh in, and run vncserver. you are using the tightvnc server..
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  that should give better speeds then shareing the 'visible local gnome desktop'
[09:17] <anygivenname> u mean vnc viewer ?
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> vnc SERVER...
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> any vnc viewer should work with any vncserver..
[09:18] <petan> Dr_Willis: that is not true
[09:18] <Dr_Willis> View runs on the pc you are sitting at.. server runs on the remote box.. you could use vino (gnomes built in) or a differnet vncserver.
[09:18] <Dr_Willis> petan:  if they follow the standards they should be backwards compatt.  ive tried lots of them..
[09:19] <momentum> is there an ubuntu off topic channel ?
[09:19] <Dr_Willis> I tend to use 'ultravnc' on windows - theres a few new ones ive not tried.
[09:19] <anygivenname> i installed tighvnc on the server....then connect with vnc viewer on the client or cloud pocket on my Android
[09:19] <momentum> how do I enable trim for ubuntu hds ?
[09:19] <mieke> Dr_Willis: sorry for nagging: I can connect to it using it's Ip... but now I cannot load any folders on it. Any ideas about that? tx anyhow!
[09:19] <petan> vnc protocol has various versions, but yes it 'should' work
[09:19] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  and tightvnc has its own settings you may want to tweak,
[09:19] <klasa3c2> Yo
[09:19] <anygivenname> never selected which vnc those should connect to on the server
[09:19] <klasa3c2> m8
[09:19] <Dr_Willis> mieke:  you m ay want to check in #samba, i justnormally beat on the things till they work.
[09:20] <klasa3c2> m8!!!
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  if you RUN vncserver via ssh,. then you are runnign the tighhtvnc.
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  if you sit down at the  gnome box  (the remote box) and enable its desktop shareing feature. then you would be using vino/gnomes vnc.
[09:20] <mieke> Dr_Willis: allright tx
[09:20] <Chiggins> hello... whats the correct package to install for java 1.6 ?
[09:20] <Nick_Meister> hi guys for some reason i was working on my computer and all of a sudden i found myself locked out in terms it tells me you are not in the sudoers file whenever i use sudo
[09:21] <Nick_Meister> what is up with that? and how can i fix it?
[09:21] <anygivenname> what about if i uninstall tightvnc....would that mean that the built-in vnc will be running ?
[09:21] <Nikkk> Am back ! :P mysql installation terminates abruptly ! not prompting root password for mysql :(
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  IF an ONLY if . you were logged into gnome.. and enabled the feature.
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  which is proberly not what you want
[09:22] <petan> Nick_Meister: you are now in terminal?
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  if someone logged off gnome. you would lose your desktop.. and they could watch what you were doing also if sitting at the remote box.
[09:22] <Nick_Meister> petan, yes
[09:22] <petan> Nick_Meister: as who
[09:22] <Nick_Meister> petan, as the only user in the system T.T
[09:22] <petan> Nick_Meister: what username - type whoami to see
[09:22] <Nick_Meister> petan, cha0s
[09:23] <petan> Nick_Meister: sudo does not work?
[09:23] <yehia> how to to force quite some application ?
[09:23] <Nick_Meister> petan, nope
[09:23] <petan> Nick_Meister: reboot to live cd
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> yehia:  killall appname , or kill pid, or xkill and click on it...
[09:23] <Nick_Meister> petan, and then what?
[09:23] <petan> Nick_Meister: then come back to this channel
[09:24] <petan> Nick_Meister: or I can give you instructions if you want
[09:24] <Nick_Meister> petan,  instructions would be helpfull
[09:24] <yehia> thanks Dr_ Willis
[09:24] <petan> Nick_Meister: you need to mount your partition and open /etc/sudoers as root, then add:
[09:25] <anygivenname> I dont think it has to do with the server's vnc. be it tightvnc or any other.....cause when I connect from my Android phone.....server's desktop show in the full screen
[09:25] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  try some differnt vncviewer apps on windows then.
[09:25] <petan> Nick_Meister cha0s  ALL=(ALL) ALL
[09:26] <Nick_Meister> petan, ok i will try this
[09:26] <Nick_Meister> petan, but why did it kick me out in the first place?
[09:26] <Nikkk> can anyone help me with the problem i've encountered...mysql installation terminates abruptly ! not prompting root password for mysql :
[09:26] <anygivenname> I did use utra vncviewer.....i has zoom in option.....that's how it is managing it.....but it is not really a full screen....it is just that I zoom in & out
[09:26] <petan> Nick_Meister: did you change anything? removed yourself from some group?
[09:27] <petan> Nick_Meister: or upgraded anything
[09:27] <Nick_Meister> Nick_Meister, i was trying to add myself to a group
[09:27] <carlos_> I have ubuntu 10.10 how can I install vista?
[09:27] <petan> Nick_Meister: that is probably reason
[09:27] <petan> Nick_Meister: your /etc/group may be damaged
[09:27] <Nick_Meister> petan, how do i fix it T.T
[09:27] <Gnea> carlos_: did you set aside hdd space for it already?
[09:28] <petan> Nick_Meister: can you paste it somewhere
[09:28] <carlos_> no, ubuntu is taking the entire disk
[09:28] <Nick_Meister> petan,  if only i had sudo :S
[09:28] <petan> Nick_Meister: why?
[09:28] <Gnea> carlos_: why vista and not 7?
[09:28] <carlos_> I dont have ti
[09:28] <carlos_> it
[09:28] <Nick_Meister> petan, it wont let me cat it cause i dont got sudo
[09:28] <petan> Nick_Meister: cat /etc/group
[09:28] <Nikkk> any admins here to help ?
[09:29] <petan> Nick_Meister: no sudo is needed for that
[09:29] <s093294> anyone know if its not posible to have two vpn connections open at the same time ?
[09:29] <Gnea> carlos_: got a second hdd?
[09:29] <carlos_> no, just one is 640 GB
[09:29] <petan> Nikkk: with what
[09:29] <Gnea> carlos_: how long ago did you install 10.10?
[09:29] <carlos_> I know I can make a partition but I dont know how
[09:29] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[09:29] <EvaLuaTe> what would be the right channel to talk about packaging for ubuntu?
[09:30] <Nikkk> petan - Thank you for responding..Let me paste my question again !
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  honestly for over the 'wild' internet. vnc is not a good idea. It has security implications.  that FreeNX or 'xming' method maybe a better remote solution.
[09:30] <anygivenname> ultra vncviewer.....shows a larger view than vnc viewer
[09:30] <anygivenname> but still not full screen
[09:30] <Nikkk> petan: can anyone help me with the problem i've encountered...mysql installation terminates abruptly ! not prompting root password for mysql :
[09:30] <Nikkk> ?
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  unless you ssh tunnle vnc - its not very secure.
[09:30] <carlos_> Just now, I have lots of trouble and I erase everything  making ubuntu take over the disk
[09:30] <Nick_Meister> petan, http://pastebin.com/n3K797Es
[09:30] <petan> Nick_Meister: wait
[09:30] <anygivenname> yes i ssh tunnel
[09:31] <petan> Nikkk: what error you get from apt
[09:31] <anygivenname> & using public key
[09:31] <Dr_Willis> anygivenname:  sounds like its some sort of vnc client setting/feature/full screen mode type thing.  if the res's of the screens are different on remote and local. the client has to do somtjhing to the display.
[09:31] <carlos_> I need to install vista because of my wife
[09:31] <carlos_> I really need help
[09:31] <Nikkk> petan : I'll paste it in the pastebin while u respond to Nick_Meister :)
[09:31] <petan> Nikkk: paste
[09:31] <petan> Nick_Meister: you removed yourself from adm group
[09:32] <Dr_Willis> carlos_:  gparted live cd. can resize and setup partitions . (or gparted from ubuntu)
[09:32] <Gnea> carlos_: okay. I would suggest reinstalling ubuntu again (yes, I know, probably not what you wanted to hear, BUT this will be the quickest way..), but this time go the 'manual' route for partitioning and give Vista 200 or 320gig, whichever you feel comfortable with (or something else, whatever works) and install Ubuntu on the rest of it
[09:32] <petan> Nick_Meister: that is requirement for sudo
[09:32] <Nick_Meister> petan, :O, , how do i add myself back in?
[09:32] <petan> Nick_Meister: do what I said
[09:32] <Gnea> carlos_: you could also use gparted as Dr_Willis suggests and then install vista on the remaining space
[09:32] <Nick_Meister> petan, i thought that just gave me sudo, do i need to do anything else to actually get into the group?
[09:33] <Nikkk> petan : here i go... http://pastebin.com/NvqKTuXM
[09:33] <Gnea> carlos_: either will work, although resizing carries a risk of loss if you do it wrong and are not used to the procedure
[09:33] <fep> something happened, when i do "sudo su" i dont get bash, only the #... i have to do "/bin/bash" to get a normal shell. why is that? (it was normal just a few days ago)
[09:33] <petan> Nick_Meister: you can do that later
[09:33] <Nick_Meister> ok i guess brb
[09:33] <carlos_> so installing againg but using a desire size and using the rest for vista
[09:34] <Gnea> carlos_: yes, or resizing what's there to give space to vista
[09:34] <petan> Nikkk: no error
[09:34] <carlos_> ok
[09:34] <petan> Nikkk: try dpkg --configure mysql
[09:34] <carlos_> I will try...
[09:34] <Dr_Willis> fep:  use sudo -i , sudo su, is notreally the best way to get a root shell
[09:34] <Gnea> !gparted | carlos_
[09:34] <Gnea> !grub2 | carlos_
[09:35] <Gnea> carlos_: you may wish to read up on those pages to get some background info on what you'll need to do
[09:35] <carlos_> ok
[09:35] <fep> Dr_Willis: ok, but why does it not work anymore?
[09:36] <fep> Dr_Willis: i get this :
[09:36] <fep> fep@fep-laptop:~$ sudo -i
[09:36] <fep> -sh: [[: not found

[09:36] <fep> oh, sorry
[09:36] <Nikkk> petan: herez the output : http://pastebin.com/Xj4wS0jX
[09:36] <petan> Nikkk: mysql-server sure
[09:36] <petan> Nikkk: my mistake
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> fep:  sounds like somthings gotten messed up if 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i' are not working properly
[09:37] <Nikkk> petan : nikhil@nikhil-laptop:/etc/mysql$ sudo dpkg --configure mysql-server
[09:37] <Nikkk> dpkg: error processing mysql-server (--configure):

[09:37] <Nikkk> ouch !
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> fep:   the -sh [[ sounds like its defaulting to the dash system shell and not bash for some reason.
[09:37] <fep> Dr_Willis:  sudo -s worked, but not sudo -i or sudo su ... and it worked before the updates yesterday
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> fep:  i foget which is the proper way -s or -i, i recall using both int eh past and never can rember why.
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> fep:  sudo su, is definatly not proper. :)
[09:38] <Fudge> anyone know where i can get proliant ml380 support pack for ubuntu lucid?
[09:38] <Nikkk> petan : http://pastebin.com/B3Btti41 (my apologies for inadvertantly pasting the o/p here :) )
[09:38] <anygivenname> if I open Win XP in VirtualBox remotely then close my remote connection without shutting down the VirtualBox on the server....will I be able connect to the server again or will the Win XP on the server be dominating then ?
[09:38] <joker> Can someone help me? I've been having trouble with moving my files.. Everytime I try to move one I get an error that tells me "Permission Denied".
[09:38] <fep> Dr_Willis: weird, i have always used it, and never been any problems
[09:39] <petan> Nikkk: try apt-get purge mysql-server and reinstall
[09:39] <petan> Nikkk: I suppose it never was correctly configured and working?
[09:39] <anygivenname> considering my connection is thru ssh tunnel
[09:39] <sresu> How to clear terminal/bash history?
[09:39] <petan> Nikkk: if you were using it don't do that
[09:39] <Nikkk> Yesterday was the first time i tried installing the mysql as part of LAMP installation process which includes mysql
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> fep:  bad habbits are hard to break
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  history command has a clear option
[09:40] <Nikkk> petan : Yesterday was the first time i tried installing the mysql as part of LAMP installation process which includes mysql
[09:40] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Where can I find thaT?
[09:40] <petan> Nikkk: do that
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> sresu:    its a  commadn you type.. 'history --help'
[09:40] <fep> Dr_Willis: thanks for the sudo -s, but i really want to know why it suddenly stopped working with sudo su after the update, any way to find out?
[09:41] <petan> Nikkk: then install it
[09:41] <sagaci> sresu: nano ~/.bash_history
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> fep:  no idea.
[09:41] <fep> Dr_Willis: maby i got hacked?
[09:41] <fep> and some messed up the bash sh stuff
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> fep:  unlikely..
[09:41] <t__> my rootpass is: 3
[09:41] <fep> ok
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> fep:  but possible i guess.. depends on yoru setup
[09:41] <fep> i have 10.10 with all updates
[09:41] <fep> and no ssh
[09:42] <sresu> sagaci: Yeah, that's what I was trying to remember :)
[09:42] <sresu> sagaci: Thanks
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> history -c -> clears the bash history.
[09:42] <fep> Dr_Willis: i have a postgresql server, is that bad?
[09:42] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Yeah. Thanks
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> fep:  is that accessable fromn the network/internet?
[09:43] <Nick_Meister> petan, hey i got sudo , now how do i add myself to the admin and www-data groups without destroying the remainning ones
[09:43] <sagaci> t__: tried to ssh ur box
[09:43] <fep> Dr_Willis: i dont know :P when i portscan myself i can see its open
[09:43] <fep> 5432/tcp open  postgresql
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> fep:  have some web service scan you.. not a local scan
[09:43] <fep> Dr_Willis: could you nmap me please?
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> fep:  try the shields up web site or similer scanners serices
[09:44] <fep> Dr_Willis: never mind, im in a fired network now
[09:44] <fep> ok, thanks
[09:44] <petan> Nick_Meister: change line adm:x:4:<your name> if 4 is not there keep previous number
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> Im behind a router.. so the scanner sites rarely show anything when i scan myself.
[09:44] <sresu> sagaci: Dr_Willis: How can I delete a particular line so that it doesn't appear in bash history?
[09:44] <Nikkk> petan : I've done what i was asked to do yesterday..strangely now, it started working fine now..I have set the root password ! ;)
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  You could edit the .history file i guess..  ive never needed to do that.
[09:45] <sresu> sagaci: Editting the file doesn't help
[09:45] <petan> Nick_Meister: why you need www-data
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  its cached i imagine is the reason you dont see the changes
[09:46] <Nikkk> petan : lol...I seriously don't understand how it got fixed today....I've purged n reinstalled thrice, however it didnt work..well, all is well now..thank you :)
[09:46] <fep> Dr_Willis: im behind some firewalls in the university, so ... but when im home it could be a security risk?
[09:46] <fep> i have no router at home
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  history command, (man history) may have some way to do it also.
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> fep:   could be but proberly not.
[09:46] <fep> Dr_Willis: ok, thanks... weird if some system updates messed up anything
[09:46] <Nick_Meister> petan, do i need to reboot or something?
[09:47] <petan> Nick_Meister: logout
[09:47] <petan> Nick_Meister: that is all
[09:47] <Nick_Meister> kk cool
[09:47] <Nick_Meister> petan, thanks for the help
[09:47] <sagaci> sresu: history -c to clear
[09:47] <jackaface> Hi, im  finding that ftp puts using /usr/bin/ftp are f**ing up my files, the md5sums do not match
[09:48] <sresu> sagaci: That would clear whole of bash commands. I want to delete a particular one
[09:48] <petan> jackaface: try better client
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> jackaface:  be sure they are getting  transfered in binary mode perhaps.
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> jackaface:  using ssh instead of ftp - is proberly a good idea also.
[09:48] <jackaface> petan: do you know any? an ncurses based thing would be nice
[09:49] <petan> jackaface: gftp has command line interface

[09:50] <petan> Nick_Meister: are you member of group
[09:50] <Nick_Meister> petan, i just logged back in and im not in sudoers again :(
[09:50] <petan> Nick_Meister: try ls -l then past that line
[09:50] <jackaface> Dr_Willis: petan ok thans for the advice
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> I cant find the URL for the 'why ftp must die' site.. :)
[09:51] <Nick_Meister> petan,  it seems i got kicked out of the adm group again somehow
[09:51] <petan> Nick_Meister: you probably messed it and it was restored
[09:51] <petan> Nick_Meister: can you pm me that line before you save it?
[09:51] <Nick_Meister> petan, im still in group but i removed my entry from sudoers thinking that if i was part of adm group i could still sudo but aparantly not
[09:52] <meway> Hello anyone know the best ways to get dvd's to work on ubuntu 9.10?
[09:52] <petan> Nick_Meister: can you sudo

[09:52] <petan> Nick_Meister: reboot again and keep yourself in sudoers
[09:53] <sagaci> how's ubuntu with wireless mice
[09:53] <Nick_Meister> petan, but why is it not working this makes no sense
[09:53] <WilliamHerry> is vmware available on ubuntu
[09:53] <petan> Nick_Meister: those files are restored if damaged
[09:53] <sresu> Dr_Willis: sagaci: Can I delete the bash_history file as well?
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> meway:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  that will delete the history..  but why are you bothering with all this...
[09:54] <sagaci> sresu: don't know, my knowledge only goes so far
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  all the bash's sortof share the same history.. so the file is cached.. and may not do exactly what you want.
[09:54] <sagaci> sresu: is it a security breach
[09:54] <william_> ??
[09:55] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Alright, thanks.
[09:55] <sresu> sagaci: Major crash kinda. But anyways thanks
[09:56] <sagaci> sresu: history -d <command number>
[09:56] <sresu> sagaci: What will that do?
[09:56] <sresu> sagaci: history -c or -d?
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> 'man history' :) to learn about history command
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> -c = clear all
[09:58] <sagaci> sresu: -d
[09:58] <sresu> sagaci: But, that won't help either as Dr_Willis says all tty would reflect same history
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> i saw some 'bash history cheat sheet' somewhere
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  No they dont do it that way.. try it and see..
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  when you close a shell. it saves stuff to the history file..
[09:59] <sresu> Yes
[09:59] <sagaci> sresu: what exactly do you want to do, delete a specific command?
[09:59] <sresu> sagaci:
[09:59] <sagaci> sresu: in ur history
[09:59] <sresu> Yes
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> if you have 2 terminals.. clear ones history.. close it last. i THINK the history will be emtpty for all new shells then
[09:59] <sagaci> what number in your history is it
[09:59] <sresu> 20011
[09:59] <sagaci> history -d 20011
[10:00] <sresu> sagaci:  Done with it. It repeats anyways
[10:00] <yukewei> ...
[10:00] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Trying that
[10:00] <sagaci> sresu: what do you mean repeats
[10:00] <sagaci> I've just done it now and it's worked fine
[10:00] <Nick_Meister> petan, ok readded myself but still the same problem
[10:00] <yukewei> hello everyone
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> i cant check..  sresu  because I am in a shell running weechat. :) so i cant close all my shells...
[10:00] <sresu> sagaci: The moment one press the arrow keys, it repeats
[10:01] <petan> Nick_Meister: can you tell me how te line looks
[10:01] <Sn4k3> Is it just me or is Firefox in Ubuntu slower than in windows.
[10:01] <Nick_Meister> petan, with the directory listing, i can list it with sudo but not otherwise and i know added myself to the roup
[10:01] <petan> Nick_Meister: in /etc/group
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> Sn4k3:  ive not noticed it being slower..
[10:01] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Yeah, I'll try that :)
[10:01] <Charbel> hi when installing the upgrades of ubuntu 10.10 i got this "replace the customized configuration file '/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades'? you will lose any changes you have made to this configuration file if you choose to replace it with a newer version." (with details about diff. btw the files) so what should i choose "keep" or "replace" ???
[10:01] <petan> Nick_Meister: so you are now in adm?
[10:01] <Nick_Meister> petan, adm:4:cha0s
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> Sn4k3:  now FLASH  is not optmized under linux..
[10:01] <petan> Nick_Meister: what is wrong
[10:01] <Sn4k3> ohhh
[10:01] <Sn4k3> k
[10:01] <petan> Nick_Meister: adm:4:x:cha0s
[10:01] <Nick_Meister> petan, yes im in adm but sudoers defines %admin not adm
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> Charbel:  if you have edited the file  keep it.. if not  replace it...
[10:02] <petan> Nick_Meister: adm:x:4:cha0s is right
[10:02] <yukewei> 有中国人么？
[10:02] <Nick_Meister> petan, yah its like that i mis typed T.T
[10:02] <petan> Nick_Meister: ass yourself to admin too
[10:02] <Nick_Meister> petan, there is no admin
[10:03] <sagaci> sresu: do the history -d 20011 then edit out the line in your ~/bash_history file, save it then done
[10:03] <petan> Nick_Meister: if you are to modify sudoer than set password to root
[10:03] <petan> Nick_Meister: then keep it
[10:03] <Maahes> If I'm having an issue with my touchpad and wanted to report a bug, where should I post it to? the kernel?
[10:03] <Nick_Meister> petan, but what about the directory listing tho?
[10:03] <Charbel> Dr_Willis, how can i know if the file was edited b4 ?
[10:03] <petan> Nick_Meister: are you now in the group?
[10:04] <Mayazcherquoi> Guys, what would be the best Ubuntu-based distribution that is easy to use for the first time user and can smoothly run no a Compaq Armada E500 (128mb RAM, 20GB HDD, @ 850MHz)?
[10:04] <petan> Nick_Meister: what permissions are on directory
[10:04] <Mayazcherquoi> s/no/on/;
[10:04] <Maahes> Mayazcherquoi: Lubuntu
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> Charbel:  did you edit it? Its basuically telling you that it has changed/been edited.. have it show you the differances.. they maybe somthing trivial like a comment added;/moved
[10:04] <Mayazcherquoi> Maahes: Okay, thanks :)
[10:04] <Nick_Meister> petan, drwxrwxr-x 3 www-data www-data
[10:04] <Maahes> although, even then, I'd say upgrade your ram if you can.
[10:04] <petan> Nick_Meister: are you a member of that group?
[10:04] <sagaci> Dr_Willis: learned something :)
[10:05] <Nick_Meister> petan, thats how i got into this whole mess so yes
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> sagaci:  oh? Im sorry.. :P
[10:05] <petan> Nick_Meister: change the line as I told you
[10:05] <aLeSD> hi all
[10:05] <Nick_Meister> petan, which one?
[10:05] <petan> Nick_Meister: and open terminal with sudo su
[10:05] <petan> Nick_Meister: and keep that terminal for emergency
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> use sudo -s, not sudo su.....
[10:05] <Nick_Meister> petan, ok done
[10:05] <sagaci> Dr_Willis: you need to history -d <histcmdnumber> then edit out the command in ~/bash_history and save it, then command gone
[10:05] <sresu> Dr_Willis: sagaci: Anyways, I did history -c. I took the backup of the previous file if required. history -c cleared the whole of it even in tty which I checked by Alt+F1etc. So, no worries. Thanks :)
[10:05] <aLeSD> I have an acer d255 and I can't install 10.10 . Syslog says that parted crashed
[10:05] <Mayazcherquoi> Maahes: Does it include the Ubuntu Software Centre, GTK/KDE runtime libraries etc, for easy application installation?
[10:06] <sresu> sagaci: Yesh, trried that. That works
[10:06] <petan> Nick_Meister: now add yoursel to end of the line
[10:06] <petan> Nick_Meister: do not remove :x:
[10:06] <aLeSD> So it stays forever on the screen when it tells me that is good to have the computer conected to the current and to the net
[10:07] <Nick_Meister> petan, k done
[10:07] <aLeSD> someone could help me ?
[10:07] <petan> Nick_Meister: are you still in sudoers
[10:07] <Maahes> Mayazcherquoi: They're all there yes. By default it uses a suite of GTK apps, small and light ones, appropiate for older machines
[10:07] <petan> Nick_Meister: keep yourself there and relog
[10:07] <Nick_Meister> petan,  kk
[10:08] <sresu> Ctrl+Alt+F1 *
[10:08] <Maahes> Mayazcherquoi: if ubuntu software center is not installed by default (but I'm pretty sure it is) you can install it easily.
[10:08] <Charbel> Dr_Willis, did u get my pvt message ?
[10:09] <Nick_Meister> petan, ok im in

[10:09] <Mayazcherquoi> Maahes: Okay, thanks.
[10:09] <petan> Nick_Meister: works?
[10:09] <Nick_Meister> petan, sudo still works even without the sudoers file yes, but the directory listing still dont
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> Charbel:  yes i got the flood of stuff..   looks like 1 line has changed.. the + and -, so use the new one  or not. i doubt if i twill matter much
[10:09] <Maahes> what's the command to get your kernel version?
[10:10] <Mayazcherquoi> Maahes: Hang on, he's now saying he has more than 128mb of RAM but is unsure. How can I find this information out via terminal?
[10:10] <petan> Nick_Meister: do not change sudoers unless you can gain root access somehow
[10:10] <WilliamHerry> unamr -r Maahes
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> Charbel:  its about wether to upgrade only from LTS to LTS or LTS to -> NonLTS updated.
[10:10]  * Mayazcherquoi has never had to do this before, lol
[10:10] <Charbel> ok thx

[10:16] <sresu> How to start X session using CLI after its crash?
[10:16] <Mayazcherquoi> Maahes: Okay, he has 307mb of RAM. Would Lubuntu still be his best bet for ease-of-use and feature richness? What about Xubuntu?
[10:16] <Jakx2010> Mayazcherquoi:  more ram the better\ install moer
[10:16] <Mayazcherquoi> He can't/doesn't want to waste the money.
[10:17] <Mayazcherquoi> So what would be the best OS for him?
[10:17] <petan> Nick_Meister: you should be able to open it without being in that group
[10:17] <Mayazcherquoi> Xubuntu of Lubuntu?
[10:17] <petan> Nick_Meister: all has +r
[10:17] <Mayazcherquoi> *or
[10:17] <zcat[1]> Mayazcherquoi:  mintDE
[10:17] <Nick_Meister> petan, :::(
[10:18] <petan> Nick_Meister: what is name of directory
[10:18] <Mayazcherquoi> zcat[1]: He has 307mb of RAM, on an Intel Pentium 3 850MHz processor.
[10:18] <Nick_Meister> petan, gsargs
[10:18] <petan> Nick_Meister: full
[10:18] <petan> Nick_Meister: I need path
[10:18] <Mayazcherquoi> Guys
[10:18] <Mayazcherquoi> :/
[10:18] <zcat[1]> Mayazcherquoi:  I'm running Mind on 977MHz machines with 256M ram no problem
[10:18] <zcat[1]> *mint
[10:19] <zcat[1]> Mayazcherquoi:  should be fine on your hardware
[10:19] <Nick_Meister> petan, nvm aparantly the root directory did not have read access on it for some reason wow
[10:19] <Nick_Meister> petan, i did chmod -R it changed everything under it but not the directory itself aparantly
[10:19] <Mayazcherquoi> zcat[1]: He's already tried Mint! It was unbearably slow!
[10:19] <Mayazcherquoi> So, Xubuntu or Lubuntu for his computer? :S
[10:19] <petan> Nick_Meister: -r changes recursively all
[10:20] <petan> Nick_Meister: including directory, if you did not -r *
[10:20] <sresu> What's the alternative brought up for Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restore from session crashes?
[10:20] <zcat[1]> Mayazcherquoi:  which mint? I'm using the debian-based one...
[10:20] <Mayazcherquoi> zcat[1]: He was using the Ubuntu based one..
[10:20] <Nick_Meister> petan, but my webserver cant access it anymore
[10:20] <Mayazcherquoi> Not Mint Debian
[10:20] <bytecode> Mayazcherquoi, I recently read a comparison of Lubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu.  It found that Xubuntu typically used more resources than Ubuntu, and that Lubuntu was the least resource hungry, however this was on 10.04, and I can't find the link to the article
[10:20] <petan> Nick_Meister: tell me path
[10:20] <zcat[1]> so try mint debian
[10:20] <Nick_Meister> petan, /home/cha0s/Documents/gsargs
[10:21] <Maahes> Mayazcherquoi: Lubuntu is probably still better. Xubuntu is really not all that more fast than Gnome.
[10:21] <petan> Nick_Meister: do chmod -r g+rw /home/cha0s/Documents/gsargs
[10:21] <Maahes> Additionally, I know many people who find the openbox WM easier to use and more intuitive.
[10:21] <Nick_Meister> petan, d-wxrwx--x  6 www-data www-data    4096 2010-11-15 02:01 gsargs

[10:22] <Maahes> personally AwesomeWM is my idea of intuitive. ^_^
[10:23] <rocket16> What is the Arabic channel for Ubuntu?

[10:23] <Dr_Willis> hmm thats not it...

[10:23] <petan> Nick_Meister: do chmod -R ug+rw a+r ~/Documents/gsargs
[10:23] <jpds> Hmm, didn't think that would work.
[10:23] <Nick_Meister> petan, whats ug?
[10:24] <rocket16> !arabic
[10:24] <rocket16> Got it, thanks Dr_Willis
[10:24] <petan> Nick_Meister: download mc, then run it and open permissions on forlder
[10:24] <Nick_Meister> petan, chmod: cannot access `a+r': No such file or directory
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> Nick_Meister:  i think you did a typo.
[10:24] <petan> Nick_Meister: run it with sudo mc
[10:25] <erUSUL> Nick_Meister: you made a mistake in the options ordering...
[10:25] <Nick_Meister> i pasted it in
[10:25] <Nick_Meister> :(

[10:25] <Osmosis> good morning someone know the difference between if-down.d if-post.down.d in network folder?
[10:25] <Dr_Willis> -r comes after the a+r or whatever. i think
[10:26] <Osmosis> how much time the if-post.down.d is executed the script inside there after the network is lost
[10:26] <petan> Nick_Meister: I was wrong but try mc anyway, -r must be after ug+rw
[10:26] <petan> Nick_Meister: mc is better for this
[10:26] <Nick_Meister> petan, ok i ran mc
[10:26] <xro> Hi, I'm looking for a tools that is able to create a map of a network... What should i use?  (provide a iprange and get a good network map with routers and subnet and so on...)

[10:37] <sandGorgon> tarzeau, try installing "b43-fwcutter" package
[10:38] <randy_> can you tell me how to use PPA mirror(can it do this?)
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> !ppa
[10:39] <ravi__> plz help me new user
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> ravi__:  be a bit more clear in your qwuestions and problems.
[10:39] <aeMaeth> tergus, is the answer ndiswrapper?
[10:40] <randy_> but PPA has mirror?
[10:40] <nomad21> yes ravi
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> randy_: PPA's are normally not mirrors. there could be  differnt ppa's I guess that have the same stuff.
[10:40] <blackshirt> i think it was personal mirror
[10:41] <tergus> i tried using nidswrapper with bcmwl6 &bcmwl5.inf, but it says both are invalid drivers
[10:41] <ravi__> when i minimize the window it just disappearing.........whats the reason
[10:41] <randy_> Oh,no,in China PPA is very slowly
[10:41] <nomad21> i have a 40GB HDD a (256+128)MB RAM with intel celeron processor can i run ubuntu?
[10:41] <blackshirt> randy_: what you want from ppa repository ??
[10:41] <randy_> for office server ,I can use 163.com mirror
[10:41] <blackshirt> nomad21: yes, exactly you can
[10:42] <randy_> blackchook, fcitx,a soft like ibus
[10:42] <nomad21> can anyone help?
[10:42] <bytecode> nomad21, Lubuntu might run a little better on that specification
[10:42] <blackshirt> nomad21: but, i think you should use ubuntu-based for low resources like xubuntu
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> randy_:  what window?  try alt-tab?
[10:43] <bytecode> nomad21, do you want to run it as a desktop machine or as a server? Do you want a Graphical desktop or just text only?
[10:43] <randy_> Dr_Willis, "what window?  try alt-tab?" ,what is?
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> randy_:  perhaps your windw list applet has crashed/removed. perhaps reset the panels back to default.
[10:43] <evelyette> hey
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> !reset-panel | randy_

[10:46] <Dr_Willis> nomad21:  for a desktop setup. You are better off installing the desktop edition. instead of installing the server edition then 'converting' it to desktop.

[10:57] <randy_> ikonia, I don't have X
[10:57] <ikonia> randy_: use a machine that does
[10:57] <blackshirt> randy_: you can use apt on terminal too
[10:57] <David_ykw> for example apt-get install xchat
[10:57] <ikonia> randy_: you're using X-chat - so I can see your using an X11 machine
[10:57] <ikonia> randy_: https://help.ubuntu.com

[10:59] <murlidhar> no totem media plugin or vlc media plugin is working in my firefox or chromium or opera :|
[10:59] <murlidhar> can anyone help me rectify it....
[10:59] <tergus> blackshirt: you want jockey.log?

[11:00] <randy_> ikonia, what shall I search ? I don't know the key
[11:00] <blackshirt> tergus: okey..maybe it can help
[11:00] <Guest87657> Hi there could someone tell me if I can configure my computer to get better upload speeds when downloading?
[11:01] <tergus> blackshirt: i pasted jockey.log
[11:01] <ikonia> randy_: it's menu driven
[11:01] <murlidhar> Guest87657: that totally depends on the bandwidth of your internet service provider.
[11:01] <ikonia> randy_: apply common sense, select the version you're using, then select the catagory about managing software
[11:01] <Guest87657> Oh right I see murlidhar basically when I am downloading I cant browse internet get error message timeouts
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  downloading how exactly?
[11:02] <Guest87657> Well I use utorrent Dr_Willis
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  torrent cleitns have a limit settings...
[11:03] <murlidhar> Guest87657: if you want to download torrents while browsing then maybe it is better for you to cap the bandwidth using the settings of your torrent client.
[11:04] <blackshirt> tergus: where your jockey.log link ?? i can't see it
[11:04] <Guest87657> Well I have just done a speed test Dr_Willis I aint using using utorrent now getting 9.74mb download and under a meg upload
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  so? thats telling us what exactly?
[11:04] <tergus> blackshirt:oh,  you mean this http://paste.ubuntu.com/532267/ sorry
[11:05] <blackshirt> tergus: wait a minute
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> I got a big 1.3mb down and .3mb up. :) cheapest isp plan.
[11:05] <Guest87657> That I have 10meg broadband download speeds are ok but upload is bad is there any configurations in ubuntu I can do or is a poss firewall the problem?
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  web sites timeing out are not related to your 'upload' speeds for the most part.
[11:06] <randy_> ikonia, I think you treat xunya is not best way,he don't know what you say and him must be a new to IRC
[11:06] <randy_> ikonia, most normal Chinese use QQ( you can use install EVA to try it,EVA is not QQ office soft,QQ linux)
[11:07] <murlidhar> can anyone help me reset vlc settings ?
[11:07] <xueya> 是xueya
[11:07] <Guest87657> What could it be then Dr_Willis any ideas?
[11:07] <xueya> 不要改我的名字
[11:07] <greppy> !cn | xueya
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> murlidhar:  they are in   ~/.config/vlc    it seems
[11:07] <JoeMaverickSett> xueya: /join #ubuntu-cn
[11:07] <murlidhar> ah thanks Dr_Willis
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  clarify what the actual problem is..   I think we have gotten sidetracked.
[11:08] <murlidhar> Dr_Willis: actually i have installed mozilla-plugin-vlc but it doesn't seem to work at all so i hoping it might help me ....
[11:08] <Guest87657> The main problem is when I download using utorrent I cant pretty much browse whereas before it was never a problem?
[11:08] <murlidhar> was*
[11:09] <randy_> ikonia, I know,you say aptitude,isnot is?
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  set your torrent client downlioad and upload speeds to be less then your max's torents can vary greately depending on  how many seeds/peers are  in use.
[11:09] <murlidhar> Guest87657: likewise .... cap the bandwidth in utorrent
[11:10] <Guest87657> Any suggestions what I should cap it too?
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  somtuing lower then your max....
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  its not like its hard to change it later...
[11:11] <randy_> xueya,请私聊。| ikonia I'm sorry,I want solve it

[11:32] <TGM> Anybody had any issues setting up limits.conf on 10.04 x64 server edition?
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> noobie14:  i find 'weechat' the best text-only type client out now for my needs.
[11:32] <erUSUL> !anybody | TGM
[11:33] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis, ~/icons/png
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  does it do it from every directory?

[11:34] <LacOperon> Guys, whats the keyboard shortcut to move from one workspace to another?
[11:35] <pokrak> ctrl alt strzałka

[11:37] <noobie14> Dr_Willis: Is there a way I can put a user in a separate window -- 1on1 chat
[11:37] <LacOperon> thanks pokrak
[11:37] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis, no, I just checked
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> noobie14:  /query nickname or /msg nickname   - it can depend on the irc client
[11:38] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[11:38] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis, maybe it doesn't know what ~ is?
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  thats what i was thinking..
[11:38] <EvaLuaTe> I have packaged a new program and created a PPA for it. What would be the next steps to get it into ubuntu?
[11:38] <Dr_Willis>  Kartagis  whoch would be odd.. but  i rarely use the ~/type paths
[11:38] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: ask in #ubuntu-motu
[11:38] <erUSUL> !packaging
[11:38] <EvaLuaTe> erUSUL, ok, thank you!
[11:39] <LacOperon> my another question is that how do i move something from desktop to /var folder? whenever i try it says that i do not have permission
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  so you are just doing a 'cd ~/icons/png' then 'sudo -s'   and it gives that error?
[11:39] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis, I got the problem. I deleted the folder from nautilus and just forgot doing it
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> LacOperon:  you need to use proper sudo/root permissions./
[11:39] <erUSUL> !permissions | LacOperon
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> LacOperon:  what are you atrying to move?
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  :)
[11:40] <LacOperon> its a php file that would like to move to /var/www/
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> sudo mv whatever.php /var/www/
[11:41] <LacOperon> no such file or directory
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> use a proper file name... of course....
[11:41] <LacOperon> i did
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> use Tab completion.. you proberly did a typo
[11:42] <pokrak> sudo mv *.php /var/www/
[11:43] <petan> pokrak: are you sure about it
[11:43] <LacOperon> doesn't work :(
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> LacOperon:  and whats the exact command you are using...
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> and are the php files in the cuirrent directory?
[11:44] <LacOperon> php file is on desktop
[11:44] <iPython> hey guys, I just installed the 'windows exe' version of ubuntu - or at least I tried to. When I reboot, the ubuntu option is there but it stalls on it's only message "Try DEV 0,0 ....." I am running win 7 pro. The only reason I thought this may be a good option is because I'm trying to access "localhost" data on both win and linux from the same pc (necessary for work >.<). Any help would be much appreciated! =)
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> LacOperon:  so you are cd'd to the Desktop directory then?  does 'ls' show them?
[11:45] <LacOperon> yes it does
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> iPython:  localhost data? linux can read/write to NTFS filesystems, even if doing a 'normal' dual boot type install.
[11:45] <petan> LacOperon: what command you use
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> LacOperon:  give full paths..   'sudo mv /home/yoruusername/Desktop/whatever.php /var/www'
[11:45] <madjoe> hey guys... can you help me to remove old kernels that I don't need, please? I'm in my Synaptic, looking for linux-image...
[11:45] <LacOperon> sudo mv testfile.php /var/www/
[11:45] <LacOperon> k will try that
[11:46] <iPython> oh ok, for some reason I figured this couldn't happen with google app engine datastores - just because of the lack of documentation on this particular matter. thanks
[11:46] <madjoe> can I completely remove all generic linux-image items?
[11:46] <petan> madjoe: do you see kernels in apt?
[11:46] <madjoe> petan: apt?
[11:46] <petan> madjoe: or synaptics
[11:46] <mylisto> for some reason my microphone jack is not working on my ubuntu installation...it works on the win 7 boot..but not ubuntu
[11:46] <pokrak> LacOperon: use mc this is tools like ortoncommander
[11:46] <zamba> is it possible to change the default system language post-install using gconf?
[11:46] <pokrak> try sudo mc
[11:46] <madjoe> petan: Synaptic Package Mgr
[11:46] <LacOperon> ok
[11:46] <mylisto> under audio input I only have a internal audio analog stereo
[11:46] <pokrak> if dosent workk install it sudo aptitude install mc
[11:46] <petan> madjoe: if you see old kernels there
[11:47] <petan> madjoe: I usually remove them manually, but this way is probably better
[11:47] <LacOperon> pokrak: command not found
[11:47] <petan> LacOperon: apt-get install mc
[11:47] <alket> is there any app that search text in many documents ?
[11:47] <pokrak> LacOperon: instal it sudo aptitude install c
[11:47] <madjoe> petan: I see a big list, but not sure what to remove and can I completely remove something from the list
[11:47] <pokrak> LacOperon: instal it sudo aptitude install mc
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> alket:  'grep'
[11:47] <alket> Dr_Willis, CLI ?
[11:47] <ilab> Is there a script or program that I can put into /etc/rc6.d to  display a splash screen
[11:48] <petan> madjoe: do you see more that one installed kernel?
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> alket:  yes.. grep is a command line tool.. been used for tha ttask for many many many years...
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> alket:  its worth learning
[11:48] <madjoe> petan: yes, my uname -r returrns that one
[11:48] <Sakr2008> I am gonna need help here please , I followed the guide for customising livecd ubuntu, and installed fluxbox I even added the fluxbox-menu into /etc/skel/.fluxbox the cd was re-generated  without a problem , however fluxbox not the default wm any ideas?
[11:48] <alket> Dr_Willis, thank you
[11:48] <petan> ilab: splash is initialised with splash argument in grub
[11:48] <petan> madjoe: I mean in synaptic
[11:48] <madjoe> petan: yes
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> is there even a splash screen feature any more? I thought Plymouth basically took over the feature.
[11:49] <madjoe> petan: it's linux-image-2.6.31-22-generic
[11:49] <petan> madjoe: then you can remove kernels you do not use
[11:49] <petan> madjoe: do not remove all of them
[11:50] <petan> madjoe: tell me when you finish
[11:50] <madjoe> petan: yes, that's my question.. which ones and can I mark them for complete removal?
[11:50] <Sakr2008> I forgot to mention the live cd I am using Ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386
[11:50] <alket> Dr_Willis, is kinda slow
[11:50] <petan> madjoe: remove those with lower version number than you now use
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> Sakr2008:  there is a .dmrc that can define what desktop to use by default. or else you have to select  the one you want at the gdm scrren the first time
[11:50] <LacOperon> worked with mc, thanks
[11:51] <Dr_Willis> alket:  grep slow? never noticed...
[11:51] <pokrak> :)
[11:51] <Dr_Willis> alket:  it always finishes my shearches befor i blink...
[11:51] <pokrak> LacOperon: for gnome GUI u have gnome-commander
[11:51] <madjoe> petan: I can find linux-image-2.6.31-307-ec2, linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic, linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic, etc. that are not marked... so should I just completely remove those things?
[11:51] <alket> Dr_Willis, is this the right command to search in specified directory "grep -r "wp_list_pages""
[11:52] <madjoe> petan: or should I just remove "linux-image-2.6.31-XX-generic", where XX is lower than my current kernel number?
[11:52] <Dr_Willis>  grep [OPTIONS] PATTERN [FILE...]
[11:52] <petan> madjoe: you can remove all you do not use, if you use 2.6.31-307 then remove others
[11:52] <Sakr2008> Thanks Dr_Willis I will give that a try now.
[11:52] <farimi> hi all
[11:52] <noobie14> hi
[11:53] <madjoe> petan: just to doublecheck - a complete removal is ok?
[11:53] <farimi> hi noobie14
[11:53] <petan> madjoe: what is complete removal, there is only remove or purge
[11:53] <pokrak> remove purge
[11:53] <petan> madjoe: do only remove
[11:54] <farimi> i am trying to figure out what happened to my networking - eth0 and wlan0
[11:54] <madjoe> petan: "Mark for Removal" is disabled for those old kernels.. I can see only "Mark for Complete Removal"
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> alket:  you dident tell it any filenames to look at.. so its using standard input.
[11:54] <pokrak> do remove witch purge it will be delete conf files
[11:54] <farimi> they are not functioning
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> alket:  put a * at the end.
[11:54] <alket> Dr_Willis, thanks
[11:54] <farimi> i tried googling
[11:54] <farimi> i tried the forum
[11:55] <farimi> now i hope there is somebody to help me here
[11:55] <blackshirt> farimi: hi
[11:55] <petan> madjoe: what if you type aptitude auto-remove
[11:55] <farimi> hi blackshirt
[11:55] <fkefer> hi! Where can i find help for a iptables problem? #iptables is quite silent the times i tried so far...
[11:55] <pokrak> farimi: tell more about this problem
[11:56] <farimi> blackshirt, pokrak : here goes
[11:56] <madjoe> petan: Unknown command "auto-remove" (aptitude 0.4.11.11)
[11:56] <blackshirt> madjoe: it was for apt-get command
[11:56] <farimi> I have a compaq presario v3000 series
[11:56] <pokrak> majdoe try man aptitude and use some more options
[11:57] <pokrak> like force
[11:57] <Arvan> hi,i have a question. how to increase the number of workspace?
[11:58] <erUSUL> Arvan: right click on the switcher->Preferences
[11:58] <farimi> it was okay before
[11:58] <farimi> im using maverick
[11:58] <petan> madjoe: I would suggest to remove it manually that is more safe, not sure what all apt remve
[11:58] <blackshirt> madjoe: auto-remove is apt-get feature
[11:59] <Arvan> erUSUL, thanks a lot!
[11:59] <petan> madjoe: if you remove kernels from /boot but keep the last one
[11:59] <pokrak> farimi: do u use wicd ??
[11:59] <farimi> the Ethernet is Intel Pro/100 (rev 02)
[11:59] <madjoe> pokrak: I'm not familiar with aptitude.. I just typed it in my console window and I can see the interface of the aptitude now
[11:59] <erUSUL> Arvan: yw
[11:59] <farimi> pokrak : nope
[11:59] <pokrak> madjoe: use man aptitude
[11:59] <madjoe> :)
[11:59] <farimi> im using the standard nm
[12:00] <pokrak> farimi: ok its good :)
[12:00] <pokrak> ifconfig see interfaces ??
[12:00] <farimi> my wifi adapter is Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan]
[12:00] <madjoe> petan: is there any automated way of removing old kernels? it should be easier than this.
[12:01] <farimi> pokrak : yes
[12:01] <farimi> it says eth0 and Io
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  ubuntu tweak tool can do it with just a few clicks
[12:01] <pokrak> ok ip configuration is auto ??
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  but really how many kernels do you have? Computer Janitor can also remove them I think.
[12:01] <petan> madjoe: yes if you try to remove them with apt but do not perform purge just remove you can do it by pressing - symbol on it
[12:01] <pokrak> farimi: u dont have ath0 interface
[12:01] <farimi> pokrak : eth0 with all packets are 0
[12:02] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: dpkg --list | grep linux-image (returns 4 lines)
[12:02] <pokrak> try get static ip for the eth0
[12:02] <farimi> ath0?
[12:02] <farimi> ok.. wait
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  so you have 4 kernels?  why are you worried about it?
[12:02] <pokrak> farimi: wifi interface ath0
[12:02] <foryu_m> hi!
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  it shows 2 here.. one of them is the 'generic' kernel which is a meta-package..
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> i thinkl. :)
[12:03] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: I'm running out of disk space... the previous command returns: linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic, linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic, linux-image-2.6.31-22-generic and linux-image-generic
[12:03] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: and uname -r returns: 2.6.31-22-generic
[12:04] <farimi> my wifi interface is wlan0
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:   You did clean out your /tmp/ and apt cache? those can be several gb here...
[12:04] <farimi> pokrak : i got it in iwconfig
[12:04] <farimi> pokrak :
[12:04] <pokrak> farimi: its the same
[12:04] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: ok, I know how to remove /tmp/, but how can I remove apt cache?
[12:04] <pokrak> farimi: in ifconfig this eitless interface is avalible ??
[12:04] <farimi> pokrak : ok, the thing is, the eth0 led is not coming up
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  sudo apt-get clean
[12:05] <jalr65> Nisstyre
[12:05] <blackshirt> madjoe: apt-get clean
[12:05] <farimi> pokrak : nope... never before
[12:05] <jalr65> ff
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  sudo apt-get autoremove        may get more stuff also..
[12:05] <pokrak> farimi: if ethernet led is not lighting u must first cgheck all cables
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  theres also that bleachbits tool for cleaning out caches and stuff
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> !info bleachbit
[12:05] <farimi> it seems that my networking , eth0 and wlan0 got no power
[12:06] <pokrak> farimi: it this case u must look for the wirless module in your kernel and load
[12:06] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: should I be concerned why not to run sudo apt-get autoremove for some reason?
[12:06] <farimi> pokrak : its the same with my wlan0, i already switch on the switch, but it is still disable
[12:06] <guitar431> Hello A Problem: Everytime i start vlc or the flashplayer is used in a browser i get failure messages in system logs who look like that "Nov 13 23:02:22 seba-desktop pulseaudio[1562]: ratelimit.c: 2 events suppressed" What could be the problem?
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  it will ask/suggest things to remove
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> my apt cache here is almost 2gb. :)
[12:07] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: is this ok? cd /tmp; rm -rf *
[12:07] <farimi> pokrak : how do i do that
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  i would use that bleachbit tool instead... to clean out /tmp/
[12:07] <pokrak> farimi: get new ethernet cable
[12:07] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: got it
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  my /tmp/ is 64mb :)
[12:08] <madjoe> :)
[12:08] <pokrak> farimi: to load module u get wirless card name and use google to find module
[12:08] <dokuro> check
[12:08] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: sudo du -ks . returns 172... I hope those are MB :)
[12:08] <madjoe> hehe
[12:09] <farimi> :(
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> du -h = human readable #'s
[12:09] <pokrak> farimi: if u want use ubuntu or some other linux u must learn
[12:10] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: thanks... it's sounds more reasonable now.. 172K :)
[12:11] <farimi> pokrak : dont get me wrong, i ditched windows since 6.06
[12:12] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: I downloaded .deb package of that bleachbit tool... so I should use that .deb to install it, right? there's no other, more recommended way of doing this?
[12:12] <pokrak> farimi: i dont reamber every think
[12:12] <Yopy> How to configure proxy with Active Directory authentication to do apt-get on ubuntu 10.10 server please ?
[12:12] <Guest18820> Hi could someone tell me if I can remove Ubuntu without having to reformat and lose my windows partition?
[12:12] <farimi> and IRC chat is the last resort after having no luck with google and forum
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  bleachbit is in the repos for 10.10
[12:13] <farimi> pokrak : i tried booting the live cd, still no luck
[12:13] <petan> Guest18820: where is your ubuntu installed
[12:13] <pokrak> farimi: in this case i gave to u seme knowledge and u must try it and find answer
[12:13] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: I'm still on Karmic
[12:13] <i5noc> !wubi | Guest18820
[12:13] <Guest18820> In which sense petan
[12:13] <farimi> pokrak : i even tried reinstalling to linux mint and lucid, all same results
[12:13] <pokrak> farimi: and my english is not enough to help u :/
[12:13] <serard> Hello all
[12:14] <i5noc> Guest18820, just check that out - its what your needing most likely
[12:14] <serard> using netstat or other tool, how can I know if there are users connected to my apache ?
[12:14] <i5noc> you can do either a full dual boot full install, or less, really nice
[12:14] <Krystian> hello
[12:14] <farimi> pokrak :....hmmm....
[12:14] <pokrak> farimi: reinstall is not a good way :) u must solve the problem
[12:14] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. Is it possible to add a static hostname resolution to an ip address from a shell script?
[12:14] <Guest18820> If I installed ubuntu via live cd can I remove it using wubi?
[12:14] <aeMaeth> !hosts | SmokeyD
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> SmokeyD:  you mean alter the /etc/hosts from a script?
[12:15] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: it's in the repos on Karmic as well.. thanks.. I got it now...
[12:15] <g0tcha> hey guys, what is the ubuntu version that installs within windows os?
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> Guest18820:  If you booted the cd. and  did a 'normal' on its own partuions install.. no.
[12:15] <g0tcha> what is that version called
[12:15] <farimi> pokrak :  i know that, but its just a way to be sure
[12:15] <SmokeyD> Dr_Willis, yeah, I guess that is what I mean. But is there a proper way to do it or do I just need to add entries to it with sed/cat/etc?
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  'wubi' is a feature/tool on the cd tht installs to a file 'inside' windows.
[12:15] <i5noc> Guest18820, you could put yoru windows disk in and go recovery and 'fixboot'
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> SmokeyD:  sed/cat/and so on i imagine.
[12:16] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, its a feature inside the ubuntu cd?
[12:16] <i5noc> then delete the partitions
[12:16] <i5noc> then regrow them
[12:16] <pokrak> farimi: u try oldest kernels and use google to find a name of kernel modules supports your wifi card
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  'wubi.exe' is included on the cd.. or you can download wubi.exe and it will download a cd/iso file.
[12:16] <Guest18820> is it relatively easy i5noc
[12:16] <SmokeyD> Dr_Willis, ok. Thanks.
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  i dont reccomend  Wubi.
[12:16] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, why not? just curious
[12:16] <aeMaeth> Guest18820, the fixboot will make windows forget all about ubuntu, it's quite good at ignoring it
[12:17] <zenwhen> I just installed Ubuntu after a couple years hiatus. Wow has it come a long way.
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  it has a tendency to break badly. (but thats from someone that sits in here all day and SEES people come in with wubi issues)
[12:17] <Guest18820> will that work on windows 7 disc aeMaeth
[12:17] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, ah i see.. hmm
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  if you want to 'test' out ubuntu, i would suggest trying it in virtualbox.  or doing a normal install.
[12:17] <sam_010203> me too zenwhen ubuntu really is going well.
[12:18] <zenwhen> All of the things that I said "Wow this should work when I install Ubuntu" and had filed bugs about... are all fixed.
[12:18] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, actually i wanted to try wubi itself.. but if it does have alot of issues, i might just stick with a vm
[12:18] <brverg> I am confused on how to download the files I have uploaded to my ubuntu one account
[12:18] <farimi> pokrak : i tried sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  there sproberly 4+ people a day in here with wubi issues.. that basically no one in here really knows the proper ways to 'fix' :)
[12:19] <Guest18820> Is wubi like a VMsoftware then?
[12:19] <pokrak> what message return
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  since most of us DONT use wubi.
[12:19] <farimi> pokrak : Operatyion not possible due to RF-kill
[12:19] <zenwhen> I am about to try getting World of Warcraft running in WINE. If that goes well, I will be back in the Linux community full time.
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> Guest18820:  it boots the OS  from a file.. not in a virtual machine.
[12:19] <aeMaeth> if we installed/removed/upgraded wubi we would know
[12:19] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, yeah tahts understandable.. but from what you see, do you remember if the majority have the same kind of issues? or different
[12:19] <brian_> how do I download files that are in Ubuntu One?
[12:19] <rocket16> Does anyone here know of some GNOME applet that can display the word of the day on panels? I got one searching, but it isn't available for download naywhere.
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  things like 'updated grub.. wubi dont boot, now what...' ive no idea how to proeprly fix grub on wubi. :)
[12:20] <Guest18820> Ok then so live cd would be best option. Anyway like I was saying before is it easy to remove ubuntu using windows 7 disc?
[12:20] <pokrak> farimi: tell me your system  see wificard or not
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  or windows updated and breaks somthing.
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> Guest18820:  to remove.. you delete the partitions, and restore the original bootloader.
[12:20] <brian_> I've uploaded my files to my ubuntu one cloud and now I wish to download it back to my home folder. Can anyone show me how
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> Guest18820:  then repartion/format the partitions how you want.
[12:20] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, haha
[12:20] <g0tcha> damn
[12:20] <g0tcha> yeah
[12:21] <g0tcha> ill just stick with a VM, much better
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  there should be a ubuntu one directory in your home with the files.
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  login to ubuntu one. and they should sync back
[12:21] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: wow... this bleachbit is fantastic! thanks man!
[12:21] <pokrak> farimi: i will be back 4 e fiew minutes
[12:21] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: I love the preview button :)
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  it saved me a whole 500mb. :)
[12:21] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: 208MB here.. yaahhooo!! :)

[12:23] <oroz> Dr_Willis: i went back to X now and it works, dunno if it will happen again. I will install now property FXGRL driver
[12:23] <sam_010203> im still using LTS

[12:23] <dawid> i ask cause i got some problems with this version
 That doesn't have any effect, the button I mean
 Yes but the ubuntu directory in home is empty
[12:24] <sam_010203> what problems you got?
[12:24] <TGM|2> hey guys, i need help with limits.conf on 10.04 x64 server, any ideeas?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> ashfaq:  it lets me resize them here.. i can make them biger or smaller.. but thats a per icon setting it seems.
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  Huh?
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  you did login to ubuntu one?
 There is no other way to do that!
[12:26] <dawid> it worked great for some time and suddenly it doesn't work, i got information "filesystem error" - or sth like that (it's in polish)
[12:26] <[deXter]> Hi all, just installed 10.10 on a new SSD. Wanted to know if the installer by default aligns partitions to MiB or cylinder?
 Yes, I am signed in
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> ashfaq:  never noticed.. or tried..
[12:27] <ashfaq> Okay I will check out!
 but no files in that directory. the files are only in the cloud
[12:27] <farimi> pokrak: just to tell you, i found a solution for wireless ---> I did rfkill unblock all
[12:28] <farimi> pokrak : and it worked!!! hooray!.. now to my eth0
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> brian_:   system->preferances -> ubuntu one. has a sync button.
 yes. but I think the files in the ubuntu directory I had mistakenly deleted after I synced it Now is it possible to retrieve it back from the cloud?
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  i just did so..  ran that tool. and connected. and hit sync. they came back
[12:31] <pokrak> farimi: i`m proud
[12:31] <pokrak> ;)
[12:31] <larmbr_> aarcane,
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> Ive got more Tomboy Notes then I do files on UbuntuOne
[12:31] <researcher1> While trying to update I got this message "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." What should I do
[12:31] <farimi> ok, now we know that the problem is my eth0 and wifi is blocked
[12:31] <farimi> my wifi is okay now
[12:31] <zenwhen> World of Warcraft took... two minutes to set up in wine.
[12:31] <farimi> now.. hmm.. how to unblock eth0?
[12:32] <pokrak> farimi: anu u find a solution
[12:32] <pokrak> farimi: try this same way
 ok, sync in progress and then sync complete, but the files are still not there. Do you think I should remove the device associated with ubuntu one and add it again?
[12:34] <pokrak> heh doh rfkill is only for eireless :P
[12:34] <Kyuusai-San> hello I am wondering if someone can help me please, when trying to map windows drives i get a dbus error https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=742669 <-- my problem and there is a patch but i do not know how to apply it
[12:34] <Kyuusai-San> i have tried installing the smbclient and samba but still no joy
[12:34] <pokrak> farimi: u try edit /etc/network/interfaces
[12:35] <farimi> pokrak : and?
[12:35] <pokrak> or configure interface in wicid
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  theres the #ubuntuone channel thast can proberly help better.
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  you did connect as the proper user? :) i goofed up once and have 2 UbuntuOne accounts. and i get them messed up
 thanks
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> Kyuusai-San:  you could mount them by hand. and not use gnome/nautilus at all.
[12:37] <rigved> hi evryone
[12:37] <Kyuusai-San> how Dr_Willis
[12:37] <aspava> hi is there any X related channel? I need to know how to set activate a X session permanently... without restarting X when connecting the external Monitor
[12:38] <s093294> I can ping my linux box on 192.168.0.3 but not on its global(ppp0) ip 79.142.229.95 - any ideas why this is ?
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Kyuusai-San:  via the proper mount command or fstab entry. or mount.cifs command.
[12:39] <Kyuusai-San> but is that in terminal only
[12:39] <rigved> Dr_Willis: i read up some really basic stuff about kernel programming. so i'll have to create a kernel module if i want to extend the kernel's functionality
[12:39] <Kyuusai-San> or does it actually mount the drives
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> Kyuusai-San:  it mounts to a directory.. system sees the dir  and access the remote files.. what do you mean..
[12:39] <rigved> Dr_Willis: i had a presentation about this today and if you hadn't warned me about my false ideas about kernel programming yesterday, it would have been a disaster. so thanx
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  :)  gotta walk befor you can run.....
[12:41] <Kyuusai-San> well Dr_Willis you use the terminal to mount the drives what im trying to say does it mount the drives in such a way that you can only access them via terminal or does it mount the drives so you can access them using nautalius
[12:42] <Kolia> hi
[12:42] <Kolia> anyone around using an asus eeepc 1001PX?
[12:42] <ikonia> Kolia: just ask your real question
[12:42] <Kyuusai-San> lol
[12:42] <farimi> pokrak : Wired network - device not managed
[12:42] <Akkan> someone for rootscan
[12:43] <frxstrem> is it possible, if I have two open network connections, first try to connect to a server on one connection and if it fails, connect on another (for all outgoing connections)?
[12:43] <Kolia> ikonia: my question is related to this specific device
[12:43] <Kolia> many people seem to have trouble with sound card not detected anymore recently
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Kyuusai-San:  the terminal and gui are not seperate things..   so you can access them with whaver you want
[12:43] <brverg> I would like to chat in #ubuntuone channel from x-chat gnome. Can anyone show me how?
[12:43] <rigved> Dr_Willis: :)
[12:43] <Kolia> it happens to me too, i'd like to see if it's specific to this netbook
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Kyuusai-San:  mounting tyem by hand makes many apps easier to use even.
[12:43] <timmillwood> anyone had any issues installing the nightly build of 11.04?
[12:43] <frxstrem> brverg, write /join #ubuntuone
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> timmillwood:  try #ubuntu+1
[12:44] <pokrak> u mast conigure ethernet device
[12:44] <timmillwood> thanks Dr_Willis
[12:44] <Kolia> does someone running Lucid or Maverick on an asus eeepc 1001PX has working sound around?
  write /join #ubuntuone where?
[12:45] <frxstrem> brverg, where you write messages (everything that starts with / in most IRC clients are treated as special commands)
[12:46] <brverg>  /join #ubuntuone
[12:46] <frxstrem> brverg, without the space at the beginning...

[13:04] <OY1R> As soon as i plug a usb soundcard in the laptop it becomes main card and i dont know how to change it, anyone know a fix ? running 10.10,
[13:06] <przemek_> blackshirt only wine needs the file to be executable, you cant set in on fat partiotion
[13:08] <jaska___> Hello, anyone know how to disable ctrl + alt + del on Ubuntu 10.10 server?
[13:09] <pokrak> .initrc ??
[13:09] <przemek_> so, is there any way to mak linux execut file without -x bit set?
[13:10] <zamba> i want to gconf the firefox homepage (lock it) and i also want to lock a launcher on the desktop of every user using the system.. how can i do that?
[13:10] <jaska___> where is .initrc
[13:10] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> przemek_: if it's a script, you could do 'sh /path/to/yourscript"
[13:11] <pokrak> zamba find a plugin
[13:12] <Svr_Sakura> quick question... is there a dictionary list in the ubuntu repository or do i have to compile one myself?
[13:12] <przemek_> Cmdr_W_T_Riker : what if I need to lounch an .exe file in wine
[13:12] <Svr_Sakura> przemek_, use the "uninstall wine software" thingy from the menu...
[13:13] <przemek_> Svr_Sakura : how is it supposed to help?
[13:13] <zamba> pokrak: oh? what kind of plugin?
[13:14] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> przemek_: why can't you chmod the exe?
[13:14] <Svr_Sakura> przemek_, i'm assuming it's an install exe file...
[13:15] <przemek_> Cmdr_W_T_Riker : because it's on fat partition and it  gotta stay there
[13:15] <AdvoWork> ive got a share on a freenas box, anyone know how I can mount it on an external server? i normally do: //192.168.0.27/freenasshare$ /var/whatever/whatever cifs exec in /etc/fstab  but just wondering if 1) i can do it just with mount, and 2) if i can specify the port, as it will have to be //externalip now :S
[13:17] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> przemek_: you could remount the fat partitions where the files have execute permissions
[13:18] <robinbowes> Don't suppose anyone happens to know of a .deb for snmpd >= 5.4.2 on 8.04.4 LTS ?
[13:19] <przemek_> Cmdr_W_T_Riker : you mean I could mount smb partition so I would be able to chmod files there?
[13:21] <pakistaniel> Hey, could anyone help me with installing the newest ubuntu on my laptop?
[13:22] <pokrak> u take cd/dvd chose lnguade and do and reading messages
[13:22] <pakistaniel> I am currently using a usb, and I am getting error messages

[13:29] <pokrak> change hdd settings
[13:29] <pakistaniel> oki, will try it
[13:31] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> przemek_: no, i mean you remount it with the appropriate options so that the files which reside on your vfat filesystem will have execute permissions (man mount --> "Mount options for vfat")
[13:31] <przemek_> Cmdr_W_T_Riker : thank's, I got it already

[13:41] <crazytommy_> hello, i have a problem installing ubuntu netbook edition ony my Eee PC 100H, i stuck during the installtion process, "Who are you?" --> I entered my name, name of the computer, username, password, auto logon, but now i can't click on next, it is not activated, and in the bottom it says "finish, as soon as you are..." but i can't continue, i can only click previous not next... does anyone...
[13:41] <crazytommy_> ...know an answer?
[13:41] <AnxiousNut> how do i know if a link is a hard link or a soft link?
[13:42] <Okashi> :s I have 10.10, I just installed and tried to enable the Visual Effects, it downloaded a driver that messed up my dual monitor display. I was given advice to enable a proprietary driver and I did, now Ubuntu boots with a command line... Can anyone help me?
[13:42] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> AnxiousNut: use ls -l to find out
[13:42] <BluesKaj> hiyas all
[13:43] <pokrak> try sudo X -configure and copy xogg.conf new in /etc/X11/ as corg.conf
[13:43] <AnxiousNut> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, and what should i see if it a hard link? and what about softlink?
[13:43] <pakistaniel> pokrak: thank you, will try again, I disabled CD/DVD boot, and disabled Floppy boot
[13:43] <pokrak> try sudo X -configure and copy xorg.conf new in /etc/X11/ as xorg.conf
[13:44] <lari> can somebody help me with (maybe acpi problem) my laptop saying critical battery when unpluging and going into hibernation
[13:44] <Okashi> pokrak: is that fo me?
[13:44] <pokrak> Okashi: yes
[13:44] <StaRetji> folks, what would be wget command to always download and overwrite the file?
[13:44] <ugliefrog> is there a comand for the terminal to see what i recently had in the clipboard
[13:45] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> CMoH-office: you'll recognize it at the 2nd column from a "ls -l". The file should have more than 1 hardlink, whereas a softlink is simply a new file pointing to another file (both have one hardlink)
[13:45] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> CMoH-office: sorry that was for AnxiousNut
[13:45] <crazytommy_> can anyone help me with my ubuntu netbook installation problem?
[13:46] <Okashi> pokrak: fatal server error?
[13:46] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> AnxiousNut: another way to determine if a file/directory is a softlink is by calling it with the 'file' utility
[13:46] <pokrak> okshi u must first do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[13:46] <BluesKaj> StaRetji, did you previously copy and paste the wanted lines to the terminal ?
[13:47] <Okashi> POkrak, oh, sorry I'm linux noob XD
[13:47] <pokrak> okasi :) u will learn :)
[13:47] <BluesKaj> StaRetji, if so just use the up/down arrow keys to find the the trext in the terminal
[13:47] <AnxiousNut> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, okay, thanks, got it! :)
[13:48] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> AnxiousNut: a hardlink is simply a name pointing to an inode. Multiple names can pont to the same inode, the number of such links are shown in the 2nd column of 'ls -l' or investigate the 'stat' output
[13:48] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> okay sorry, too much info perhaps :P
[13:48] <pakistaniel> pokrak: I disabled CD-ROM Boot and Floppy Boot, and I put the USB diskette on Key as the 1. in boot order...but I am still getting the same error
[13:49] <pokrak> i dont know look in bios parameters of hdd NO BOOT
[13:49] <AnxiousNut> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, very nice, thanks again :D
[13:49] <pokrak> only hdd
[13:49] <krger> You picked probably the most ridiculous way to tell if something is hard vs. soft-linked.
[13:49] <pokrak> dont look at boot priority
[13:49] <o3-k64mal> n00b here. Just installed Amarok to 10.04 but it won't play my mp3's or wma's.
[13:50] <o3-k64mal> What to do?
[13:50] <pokrak> o3-k64mal: R U looking at google ?
[13:50] <o3-k64mal> U mean google it?
[13:50] <hetii> Q:I set on my linux router snmpd to collect data from its interfaces and for frontend i use cact, i had already some graps like bytes per secound from my nic but the question is is it possible to collect data per pc in LAN ? so i want to know with pc on my LAN with bandwith use and the best will be on with protocol :>
[13:50] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> o3-k64mal: not using your password as your nickname, i hope?
[13:51] <o3-k64mal> No
[13:51] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> hetii: set up snmp on the clients and gather / graph data in cacti
[13:52] <lari> when i unplug my laptop it goes to hibernation because of wrong critical battery message, what to do?
[13:52] <MaT-dg> how good is asus xonar soundcard support in ubuntu?
[13:52] <Plimmer> q: I just formatted a drive with ext3, now I can only copy with 3MB/s to it, any way to test the disk in CLI?
[13:53] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> lari: i would google to see if more people run into the problem with your type of laptop with ubuntu
[13:53] <pakistaniel> pokrak: i appreciate the help. but I am unable to locate hdd no boot option..As I said before, I have disabled CD-ROM Boot and Floppy Boot
[13:53] <pokrak> pakistaniel: u dont understand doh
[13:53] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Plimmer: dd to test read/writes or hdparm to test reads
[13:53] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: i did to solve my problem with the wifi card but i cant find anything with acpi
[13:53] <pokrak> u mast find option 4 hdd

[13:54] <hetii> i don`t want to install snmpd on each pc on lan just to have it on gateway
[13:54] <pokrak> i give up
[13:54] <pakistaniel> pokrak: :( yeah, I am unable to locate hdd options aswell :(
[13:55] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> lari: to solve the immidiate hibernation problem, you could simply switch it off from system -> pref -> power
[13:55] <Plimmer> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: I get this: HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[13:55] <pokrak> pakistaniel: sorry but my englisjh is no well and i dont know how i help u :/
[13:56] <Chaos_Zero> hey people, I just installed ubuntu on a drive with windows server 2003 and a 5 gb swap (3 partitions total), it said it would install something so i could choose what to boot at startup, but it just says "error loading operating system".
[13:56] <BluesKaj> very interesting , if I use aptitude safe-upgrade , a new linux image is about to be installed, however if I use apt-get upgrade , the linux image is held back ,... any expalnation for the difference ?
[13:56] <pakistaniel> pokrak: thank you for trying anyway :) do you know of any other irc channels where I could get some more help?
[13:56] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: right, that is what i wanted to but it makes me choose from either of this 3 options: suspend, hibernate or shutdown, i cant choose not to do nothing
[13:57] <pokrak> pakistaniel: no i dont, but u tray find in google
[13:57] <Okashi> -___- I should probably have mentioned I'm using the comp I need to fix.
[13:57] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: few seconds after unplug, if i cancel the hibernation message then battery is measured right
[13:57] <pakistaniel> pokrak: oki thank you :)
[13:58] <Okashi> pokrak: is there another command I can try, that one sends me right to a black screen
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  did you do a 'wubi' install? or did you boot the cd and installed that way?
[13:59] <pokrak> this command generate xorg configuration file /home/user/xorg.conf.new
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> i booted from USB
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> but im not sure what a "subi" install is
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> "wibu"*
[14:00] <pokrak> u must reneme this file at xorg.conf and copy to /etc/X11/
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> argh, spalling
[14:00] <lari> can somebody help me find a acpi driver for vpcm120al laptop?
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  wubi is an executable that installs inside windows.
[14:00] <pokrak> and restart komputer
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> i dont want it inside windows
[14:00] <sagaci> !wubi
[14:00] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> lari: perhaps this post could help you disabling it http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/disable-suspend-and-hibernate-ubuntu/
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  so are you booted to the ubuntu live system now from the usb?
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> its a dual boot
[14:01] <palam> what does it mean when i say --dport ssh? same as -dport 22?
[14:01] <Chaos_Zero> no, it can boot to the installer
[14:01] <Okashi> is there another way to do it? XD because I can't do much from the black screen.
[14:01] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: thank you, im looking at it
[14:01] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> palam: yes, but depends if ssh is mentioned in /etc/services
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  you are using the desktop cd? or alternative installer cd? or what exactly do to make your usb you booted from?
[14:02] <palam> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: oh ok, thanks. is it mentioned by default?
[14:02] <pokrak> okashi i dont know
[14:02] <Chaos_Zero> i used version 10.04 32 bit with the universal USB install thingy
[14:02] <Chaos_Zero> cruzer 2gb flash drive
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  so you are on a differnt pc right now? or where exactly
[14:02] <Okashi> hm...
[14:02] <Chaos_Zero> yeah its another one
[14:03] <Chaos_Zero> oh and its server edition i forgot to say
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  so your usb installer - cant boot to the normal desktop?  does it mention any rescue mode in its menus when it boots?
[14:03] <vane> ola
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  that was a little bit impontant :) heh
[14:03] <Chaos_Zero> my bad
[14:03] <vane> de aqui quien habla español
[14:04] <Chaos_Zero> i  had problems installing it before seeing my HDD but someone helped me through that
[14:04] <Okashi> pokrak: maybe I can rename it through the gui...
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  sounds like grub dident get installed.. or it installed to the flash drive. I would redo the install. and be sure grub installs to /dev/sda
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  unless you can some how boot up a live cd/flash to get to the console.
[14:04] <pokrak> okashi this i do in console not in gui
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  then you could try to fix grub.
[14:04] <vane> hey
[14:04] <Chaos_Zero> as i remember, their was only a "yes/no" option
[14:04] <Okashi> yeah but we tried the command line and it don't like it
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  it had a menu item thing to where to put it to. the default should of been sda. but ive seen usb installs get confused
[14:05] <pokrak> okashi look with question at google
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  is thers some reason you are doing a server install?
[14:05] <Okashi> -____- google hates me today, I can't find anything I need to fix my comp
[14:05] <pokrak> Okashi: command line is most importand if u want learn linux
[14:05] <gharz> guys, i have a hotfile/rapidshare account... is there any application like free download manager that manages downloading? d4x does not work with hotfile. i think it doesn't support download using http referer. anyone?
[14:06] <Chaos_Zero> because...its a server, in uaing it as a home server filesharing, proxy, 10 port bridge
[14:06] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: ok, i did the modification of the file to dont allow hibernation, im rebooting to see the efect, ill be back
[14:06] <Okashi> pokrak: I know, but if there's a alternate way and the command line isn't working, it's worth a shot
[14:06] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker:  thanks
[14:06] <pokrak> Okashi: try another distro like pinguy
[14:06] <Chaos_Zero> and its an actual server, ibm xseries 366
[14:06] <LjL> gharz: type "apt-cache search rapidshare"
[14:06] <Okashi> XD but I JUST installed ubuntu 10.10
[14:07] <gharz> LjL: i think i'm not gonna use rapidshare at the moment... coz most of the files that i'm about to download are on hotfile
[14:07] <pokrak> Okashi: pinguy are ubuntu too
[14:07] <LjL> gharz: that's fine, type "apt-cache seach hotfile" if you prefer, both will show the same programs
[14:07] <Okashi> I don't understand.
[14:07] <gharz> LjL: thanks!!!!!!
[14:08] <pokrak> if u look u anderstand
[14:08] <Okashi> I have a comman that lets me open a guiwith root permissions, can't I just use that to rename the file?
[14:09] <StaRetji> BluesKaj: hi, sorry, was afk, I don't understand what lines you are referring to? I just need wget command to download and overwrite existing files on my local pc (even if local file is newer) thx for reply ;)
[14:09] <pokrak> Okashi: gksudo ??
[14:09] <Chaos_Zero> anyway, not to be difficult, but it it possible to fix the MBR from the menu somehow without re installing, the install took like, four hours.
[14:09] <Okashi> uh huh that's in there
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  I thought the alt-cd installer or somthing had a 'rescue/recovery' feature i used once to reinstall grub on a problem machine.. but i cant recall where i saw it at. I THINK it was on a flash drive i had setup as an alternative cd installer..
[14:10] <lari> perfect! now it does not go to hibernation
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  not sure if the server cd has the same feature
[14:10] <lari> even though i did not solve the problem
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  i dident even think one could put a server cd on a flash drive to install from. :)
[14:11] <Error404NotFound> errors when trying to install libqt4 http://pastebin.com/s3bnUPRG
[14:11] <Chaos_Zero> yeah  you cant really, theirs so much stuff to download
[14:11] <Chaos_Zero> blah
[14:11] <ace> hello guys
[14:11] <Chaos_Zero> but hold on ill get the rig running
[14:11] <BluesKaj> StaRetji, wget fetches files thru a link , did you copy the link ? if so it should be in your clipboard contents
[14:12] <ace> i want to buy a netbook but i want that ubuntu network edition working well on it, is there s list of compatible hardware?
[14:12] <yaaar> howdy
[14:12] <lari> Cmdr_W_R_Riker: thanks, no i get the message but it does not go to hibernation, thanks for workaround, no i have time to solve the problem
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  no.. i ment the server.iso file using a tool like unetbootin or whatever.. wouldent work from a flash drive. the desktp and alt cd's could.
[14:12] <Okashi> *sigh* I can't find the file at that location
[14:12] <BluesKaj> brb
[14:13] <Chaos_Zero> theirs a tutorial on the downloads page
[14:13] <Chaos_Zero> you download this uuuniversal usb installer
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  right. i dident think iot worked with the server iso. ive seen several people in here with issues  trying to make a server flash drive to install from. Guess the issues got fixed
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  so the recovery thing im thinking of Must of been on the alternative cd.
[14:14] <Okashi> pokrak: there is no xorg file in /home/user
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  actually with the server cd.. i think you can boot uit to the installer.. then on the other consoles.. you can get in and do stuff.
[14:15] <Chaos_Zero> well i know theirs a console because thats how i fixed the other problem
[14:15] <Chaos_Zero> you press F6 then esc at the menu
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  once ya get to a console and mount your / some where like /mnt/ you can reinstall grub with a single command..  the !fixgrub wiki mentiones it about 1/2 way down the page i recall
[14:16] <lkm> 有人么
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[14:17] <Okashi> -____- I think he's gone
[14:17] <lkm> what's wrong
[14:17] <pokrak> okaski doh
[14:17] <pokrak> think
[14:17] <Chaos_Zero> i didnt lose grub after installing windows
[14:17] <Chaos_Zero> i lost it after installing ubuntu
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  you fix it the same way
[14:18] <jumbi> hiho! i surprisely recognized that a block device could be formatted with a filesystem without any partition. which advatages/disatvatages/limitations does this have?
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Ubuntu either installed it to the wrong hd. or dident install it at all.
[14:18] <pokrak> u have in your katalog i don know wkat is thei name and i was write /home/user
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda
[14:18] <StaRetji> BluesKaj: ofc, anyway, found the solution wget -q http://www.mydomain.com/myfile -O /home/user/myfile
[14:18] <BluesKaj> success! aptitude installed the new kernel , whereas apt was holding it back
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  your /media/XXXXXXX will differ. :)
[14:18] <Chaos_Zero> theirs onnly one hdd
[14:19] <lkm> ??
[14:19] <Okashi> XD there he is... XD it's 5 am, and I've been trying to get this computer to work for almost 5 days... I think the think part of my brain is burning out
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  makes it even easier then.. BUT if you boot from a flash drive. that may be 'sda' instead of the internal HD.
[14:19] <BluesKaj> StaRetji, oh so you had already used wget to download the file ?
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  ive seen pc's get weird with booting from flash drives.
[14:19] <starredsteria> :(... I really need some help here.... what's the channel for evolution?
[14:19] <pakistaniel> pokrak: Hey again :) I did a Primary Hard Disk Self Test and it says Replace Hard Disk 1...I am guessing the hard disk is malfunctioning and I probably should replace it..is that why I would get that error you think?
[14:19] <Okashi> pokrak: what am I supposed to be thinking about?
[14:19] <StaRetji> BluesKaj: yes, I just had problem where it wont overwrite, but rather it gives another name
[14:20] <starredsteria> I couldnt open evolution.... then i uninstalled to reinstall... and now it won't let me reinstall...!
[14:20] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: i managed my pendrive booting by creating Partitions and using Grub, now in Beta Stage,Thangs for Your help, :)
[14:20] <lkm> oh~
[14:20] <nacho> hey guys
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  Your Grub-fu is stong young grasshopper!
[14:20] <nacho> I'm trying to install tor in ubuntu but it seems it doesn't exists
[14:20] <nacho> does anybody knows why?
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> nacho:  its not in the repos.. you need the tor PPA.
[14:20] <pokrak> i dont now
[14:21] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: What's grub-fu?
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> nacho:  theres some wiki pages on setting up TOR.
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  like google-fu :() and Kung-Fu.
[14:21] <nacho> Dr_Willis, thanks
[14:21] <Okashi> that's usually a bad sign when both people are confused, right?
[14:21] <Okashi> hehehe
[14:21] <pokrak> :)
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  thats normal around here.
[14:21] <G0AT-AFK> hey guys, using tint2 on crunchbang linux here, wondering if anyone can help me out with updating it ???
[14:21] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: Dr_Willis-fu ;)
[14:21] <Chaos_Zero> ok im back
[14:21] <Okashi> hehehe
[14:21] <Chaos_Zero> something weird is going on
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> G0AT-AFK:  they got their own support channels.. but you could proberly find a PPA for it. or use source.
[14:22] <Sn4k3> Anyone know how to fix slow browsing speed on ubuntu?
[14:22] <Chaos_Zero> when i try to boot from the HDD i get that message
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> !crunchbang
[14:22] <G0AT-AFK> thanks..
[14:22] <o3-k64mal> Uh, I googled it, did what one of the pages said and now amarok won't start. Please a little help. Ready to run screaming back to XP.
[14:22] <Chaos_Zero> however when i tried to boot from the installer again i get a little console with really small text
[14:22] <bullgard4> What kind of templates are meant in the file /usr/src/uswsuxp-0.8/debian/uswsusp.templates?
[14:23] <Okashi> dang I really don't wanna reformat AGAIN... windows put me through hell this weekend... please work me a miracle and somehow make this computer work...
[14:23] <Chaos_Zero> it asks for login and password
[14:23] <BluesKaj> StaRetji, ok understood
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  it could be grub installed to your flash drive.. so when you boot fromt he flash drive now,. its actually booting the hard drive...
[14:23] <Chaos_Zero> which i put in from before, and now its just a blinking console
[14:23] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i only find info about solving wifi connectivity with i allready solved
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  try loggin in.. see if you are in the installed system. :)
[14:23] <Chaos_Zero> i..guess, im ned to  ubuntu or linix, is their really NO gui at all?
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:   You used the 'server' install.. thats no GUI...
[14:24] <Chaos_Zero> it sure downloaded alot
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:   it doownloaded whatever security updates where out there.
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> most likely.
[14:24] <Chaos_Zero> so you have to memorize a command for everything. wow
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> theres proberly no reason you couldent use the  DESKTOP  install on your server..
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  thats how 'servers work'
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  vs memorising where every menu/dialog/setting is at... :)
[14:25] <Chaos_Zero> wel lets go one step at a time
[14:25] <Chaos_Zero> how do i put grub on the HDD instead of the memory stick
[14:25] <Okashi> pokrak: so there is no xorg.conf at /home/user/  is there anywhere else I should look?
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  so did it let you login with your username and password you told it during the install?
[14:25] <Chaos_Zero> yes
[14:26] <pokrak> okashi in your home directory
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  now its easy. :)  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and select the hard drive..
[14:26] <BluesKaj> just installed a new kernel with aptitude whereas apt was holding it back , any idea why folks ?
[14:26] <Chaos_Zero> hold on ill write this
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  AND your flash drive is now a 'backup' grub boot thing. incase grub ever breaks on it again.
[14:26] <Okashi> the only thing in home is my user folder
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  tab key is our friend also for the cli. :)
[14:26] <DasEi> pokrak, Okashi: per default there is no more /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but you can still edit and use one
[14:26] <ugliefrog> awesome i just noticed gwibber facebook updates in the notification now...yay
[14:27] <ed__> hello
[14:27] <DasEi> ugliefrog: pidgin ?
[14:27] <Chaos_Zero> yeah i have never used linux, going to be a long road
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> ugliefrog:  so now it tells you when your crops need harvested? :)
[14:27] <Okashi> heh Found it
[14:27] <Chaos_Zero> hold on ill type it in
[14:27] <o3-k64mal> Hey ed_
[14:27] <DasEi> Okashi: your distro ?
[14:27] <Okashi> so what do I rename it to again?
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  install the desktop cd.. and have a nice gui..   theres proberly no real reason for you to be using the 'server' cd.
[14:27] <Okashi> 10.10
[14:27] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i only find info about solving wifi connectivity with i allready solved
[14:28] <ugliefrog> Dr_Willis, lol ...im just stoked...I thought it was me this whole time...I havent any crops..but now i can get some and get told to fix em :)
[14:28] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: from grub Command line, How to boot from a CD?
[14:28] <Okashi> I think I created a xorg.conf file when I was still trying to make x server Use my moniters right
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  Hmm.. not sure.. i know it can be done. i think.. but id have to look it up.
[14:28] <starredsteria> Does anyone know if there is an irc channel for evolution? Its not listed here :( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[14:28] <Okashi> but that was about 4 hours ago
[14:28] <ed__> im just playing around with "mount --bind" is it bad practice to mount a folder this way with the same mount point e.g. "mount --bind -o noexec,nosuid,rw /tmp /tmp!
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  i normally use grub2 to boot iso files. :)
[14:29] <Okashi> and I'm wiped
[14:29] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: How, I need to know, must
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> ed__:  i imagine doing so would be .. weird...
[14:29] <ed__> yeh, i guess it might confuse peopel
[14:29] <ed__> but wouldnt technically hurt anything?
[14:30] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  the #grub channel guys may be able to point you to an example entry to do it.
[14:30] <meltingwax> whenever i try to install something, apt-get hangs at "Unpacking replacement libmikmod2 ...". anyone know any solution to this? (it doesn't respond to control-c's, and i eventually have to kill it and manually release the lock)
[14:30] <Dr_Willis> ed__:  try it and see. :)
[14:31] <Kulverstukas> hello
[14:31] <Kulverstukas> why is this happening...? when I have 2 USB flash drives (or 1 external harddrive on USB and one flash drive) and I try to transfer something between them, or something from internal harddrive to the flash or vice versa, my ubuntu copy dialog and process starts to lag and eventually hangs... but when I use the "Send to" command from context menu, everything is fine - no lag, no hanging and files are not corrupt.
[14:31] <Okashi> -____- so I know I was supposed to rename xorg.conf to something but I forget what to, remind me?
[14:32] <ugliefrog> I need help reporting a bug.....I have a usb nostromo game pad for my shooter games....But when I start rythmbox it stops responding and the led lights on start flashing....Neat effect but bothersome...Im new to the launchpad thing..any advice
[14:32] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: Once I said you about a bug in Copy CD Dailogue box, did you report it?
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  which bug was that?
[14:33] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: if copy Cd is selected every window of nautilus get Locked
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> i rarely report bugs.. i tend to confirm a lot of others peoples reports..
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  did you check the bug reports to see if one has allreday been made on that 'issue'
[14:34] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: let me !
[14:34]  * Okashi sighs
[14:35] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: and so How to boot from ISO directly just giving the filename only in grub2
[14:35] <pokrak> okashi xorg.conf.new u must rename -> xorg.conf and put in /etc/X11 directory
[14:35] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i only find info about solving wifi connectivity wich i allready solved
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  theres more to it then just giveing it a name.. the iso/disrto MUST support the feature. and each distro seems to have different options/variables that Must be set. Its a bit of a messeed up deal
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  check my grub2 links at -> http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2
[14:36] <starredsteria> guys.. Im seriously having a huge issue with evolution (as in it won't open) does anyone know if there is an evolution irc channel?
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> starredsteria:  try #evolution ? try running it from a terminal, look for error messages
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  i will be back later.. gotta load some firewood.
[14:36] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: Hmm, k
[14:37] <Okashi> I don't have a xorg.conf.new, just xorg.conf,  xorg.conf.backup and xorg.conf.failsafe
[14:37] <starredsteria> Dr_Willis, not working....
[14:39] <Okashi> file search of my whole hard drive : 0 results for xorg.conf.new
[14:39] <econdudeawesome> Hey all. Got an issue with a greyed out LaTeX plugin. Any idea how to make it work? Googled it but none of the solutions appear to apply
[14:39] <econdudeawesome> Hey all. Got an issue with a greyed out LaTeX gedit plugin. Any idea how to make it work? Googled it but none of the solutions appear to apply
[14:40] <pksadiq> Okashi: Why do you need xorg.conf.new?
[14:40] <izinucs> econdudeawesome: got latex installed?
[14:40] <Okashi> because you said I had to rename that file to xorg.conf
[14:40] <oelewapperke> is it possible to go with encrypted home directories anyway after not checking this in the setup ?
[14:41] <Okashi> and put it in x11
[14:41] <oelewapperke> (on 10.04 LTS)
[14:41] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: AFAIK--texlive and most of the options in synaptics, as well as rubber
[14:41] <izinucs> econdudeawesome: synthetic or natural :) .. sorry I've no idea
[14:41] <pksadiq> Okashi: How did you created the xorg.conf.new file?
[14:41] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: not sure what that means?
[14:42] <Okashi> I didn't, I was supposed to find it, copy and rename
[14:42] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: ah--rubber helps with automated documents compiling
[14:42] <AdvoWork> anyone here used nfs-client/server to allow files to be accessed remotely?
[14:42] <pksadiq> Okashi: and so you can Configure a new by sudo Xorg -configure
[14:42] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: I COULD use just LyX or Emacs, but where's the fun in that? ;-)
[14:43] <Okashi> didn't we try that? oh well *tries it again*
[14:43] <izinucs> econdudeawesome: I've always been intreagued with latex but haven't spent the time to learn it.
[14:43] <Okashi> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo xorg -configure
[14:43] <Okashi> sudo: xorg: command not found
[14:44] <pokrak> sudo X -configure
[14:44] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: you should--its worth the investment in time, then after a good understanding switching over to an automated process like LyX. Knowing the background process is important! :-) It makes for some slick presentations, especially with the beamer package
[14:44] <pokrak> but te gdm must bi first stop
[14:44] <Okashi> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo x -configure
[14:44] <Okashi> sudo: x: command not found
[14:44] <pksadiq> Okashi: Xorg not xorg
[14:44] <quidnunc> How can I tell if I have swap enabled?
[14:45] <izinucs> econdudeawesome: found this for you.. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gedit-latex/
[14:45] <pokrak> okashi X no x
[14:45] <pksadiq> Okashi: it's in Capital

[14:46] <pokrak> u must first do
[14:46] <Okashi> I can't
[14:46] <pokrak> and sudo X -configure
[14:46] <pokrak> bullshit
[14:46] <Okashi> that sets my comp into a black screen that just idles
[14:46] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: I'll check it out
[14:46] <pokrak> ctrl + f1
[14:46] <LjL> language, please
[14:47] <Okashi> I sat there for 10 minutes
[14:47] <Okashi> that's why I asked when I came back if there was another way to do what you ask me to do
[14:47] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i only find info about solving wifi connectivity wich i allready solved
[14:48] <pksadiq> Okashi: it's just because you are running GUI already
[14:48] <ugliefrog> how do you check to see if there are any usb conflicts...
[14:48] <techouse> is there any way i could make firefox use the top bar in unity?
[14:48] <pksadiq> Okashi: DO you know well to use CLI?
[14:48] <techouse> all the other apps use it, except chrome, firefox and opera
[14:48] <Okashi> I have no idea what CLI stands for
[14:48] <quidnunc> Okashi: command line interface
[14:49] <lari> techouse: try firefox addons TinyMenu and LittleFox
[14:49] <Okashi> um... I cand CD and dir but that's it
[14:49] <izinucs> ugliefrog: lsusb will give you everything connected to the usb buss.  probably addresses as well.. dmesg will give you a long list of information while booting.
[14:49] <techouse> ah, thought i had to fiddle with some conf files :P
[14:49] <AdvoWork> whats up with:  mount -t cifs -o  //EXTERNALIP/SHARE /home/Scripts/test/ ?
[14:49] <Okashi> I'm using my cd to even boot atm
[14:49] <pksadiq> Okashi: then Do you have another system to chat here?
[14:49] <Okashi> XD I wish I did
[14:50] <duckx0r> Ii just reinstalled ubuntu on a bunch of my computers in an internet cafe, however one of the computers completely locks up after about 5 min idle time. After seeing this, I remembered that I added something to the grub boot line in the previous install that fixed it, but I can't remember what that was. Does anyone have any ideas?
[14:51] <pksadiq> Okashi: and atleast do you have a phone with GPRS?
[14:51] <Guest11963> olaaa
[14:51] <izinucs> duckx0r: lots of opotions there.. I only know a couple.. remove "quiet splash", pci=nomsi, nomodset
[14:51] <id10t> 'lo all
[14:51] <Guest11963> komo vaaa
[14:51] <DasEi> !boototions | duckx0r
[14:51] <Okashi> I don't know if my phone does or not
[14:51] <DasEi> !bootoptions | duckx0r
[14:51] <izinucs> duckx0r: also something to do with acpi=off I think
[14:51] <Okashi> it's supposed to run java, but it doesn't do it well
[14:52] <ugliefrog> izinucs, ty..looked at it no addresses are the same so i guess there arent any conflicts...thanks for the info
[14:52] <duckx0r> izinucs, thanks a lot
[14:52] <id10t> anyone able to help w/ a livecd question?  trying to make a custom disc to load /homes from a flash drive (for persistence).. any ideas as to when to run the script and what file would call it during the live cd init process?  rc.local doesn't do it ...
[14:52] <popey> id10t: why not just install onto a USB stick _and_ have home on it?
[14:52] <pksadiq> Okashi: anyway What is the problem with the current Xorg.conf file?
[14:53] <id10t> popey, usb sticks are too slow for running in my experience... too much i/o wait.
[14:53] <popey> id10t: slower than CD?
[14:53] <pksadiq> id10t: use a-linux or tinycore linux.  ;)  very fast
[14:53] <hacked_kernel> is there a player for SSF and IRF media files?
[14:53] <id10t> popey, yeah... like firefox locking up and "grey screening" for 10 seconds at a shot ... any time multiple reads/writes are happening
[14:54] <popey> id10t: yeah, I have seen that..
[14:54] <id10t> pksadiq, not really an option either... this is for having a dev environment for c++ w/ support for gmpxx
[14:54] <heartinfei> hi
[14:55] <Okashi> -___- okay my problem is that I set visual effects to ON, and it installed nVidia X server. THAT program doesn't allow me to correctly use my dual monitors. ON Advice from someone in another ubuntu channel I enables the proprietary driver and now Ubuntu boots to command line. I'm booted up through the CD atm.
[14:55] <heartinfei> What are you taking about!
[14:55] <Okashi> -____-
[14:55] <pksadiq> Okashi: doesn't your ubunto now load GUI?
[14:55] <Okashi> I know I said that when I first entered
[14:56] <pksadiq> ubuntu*
[14:56] <Okashi> not anymore
[14:56] <pksadiq> Okashi: and you are in the live cd?
[14:56] <Okashi> yes
[14:56] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i cant find info about this problem on the internet
[14:56] <pksadiq> Okashi: ok, then Do *try
[14:56] <Okashi> ?
[14:57] <Okashi> that's what I'm in
[14:57] <Okashi> without ubuntu just boots to a command line
[14:57] <pksadiq> Okashi: hear all , then do, ok? *try*
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  i install the nvidia drivers. reboot. use the nvidia-settings tool to enable 'twinview' (restart X server) and i use dual monitors all the time..
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  the Proprietary drivers are the nvidia drivers.
[14:58] <Okashi> yes, I'm using the live CD to boot Ubuntu, using the "Try" option
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf see what the 'Driver' line is loading. if its set to 'nvidia' you may want to edit it to be 'nv' and try 'startx' that should get you back to X at least.
[14:58] <Okashi> Dr_Willis: it won't let me set my 32" hdtv on any res better than 640 480,
[14:59] <Yam_> Hi room,
[14:59] <Yam_> I badly need help
[14:59] <progre55> hi guys. I've got a huge text file (about 20G) and I want to print out the first 10 lines, is that possible?
[14:59] <molded>   /msg nickserv identify Privet123
[14:59] <pksadiq> progre55: head
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> progre55:  the 'head' command.. yes... can do that
[14:59] <progre55> thanks
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> 20gb text file.. wonder what that is.. :)
[14:59] <molded>  /msg nickserv identify Privet123
[14:59] <progre55> molded: you better change your password now :D
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> molded:  time to change your pass.. heh.
[15:00] <qwertyjustin> hi, whats the comment tag for in writing scripts -- " // " ?
[15:00] <pksadiq> molded: using /say ?
[15:00] <progre55> Dr_Willis: mysql dump =)
[15:00] <Yam_> Ubuntu asked me to install the newest driver for my ATI card, and after I installed it,  it only goes to the Ubuntu loading screen and then the monitor shuts off
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> qwertyjustin:  depends on the scriptng language.
[15:00] <molded> indeed....lol
[15:00] <molded> i don't understand what just happened?
[15:00] <qwertyjustin> just a simple ubuntu script "script.sh"
[15:00] <Dr_Willis>  molded  a space befor the / most likely
[15:00] <Pici> qwertyjustin: #

[15:00] <Dr_Willis> qwertyjustin:  so look at the script.. what language is it in? bash. = #
[15:00] <qwertyjustin> # ahh, it lights up blue, cheers guys!!
[15:00] <pksadiq> Okashi: did you try what Dr_Willis  said?
[15:01] <Okashi> so do I change it to nv or startX?
[15:01] <progre55> molded: your whole virtual identity got hacked )) and I can tell, you're russian or russian-speaker )
[15:01] <Walex> Yam_: you probably need to have the GUI/X server configuration reset. There are a few pages on the Wiki who give details on doing that.
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  change it to 'nv' then you could have tested with startx.. but you are on the live cd.. so that wont work.
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  change it to nv, then boot the system and see what happens
[15:01] <pksadiq> Okashi: try what Dr_Willis said, and if it does not work I'll say my idea
[15:01] <Yam_> walex I am not able to get into anything
[15:01] <Okashi> hopefully I get more than a command line
[15:02] <Yam_> the monitor shuts off
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  you can install a text based irc client so you can get back here from the console for help also.
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> Yam_:  perhaps a invalid mode/settings the thing is trying to use.
[15:02] <pksadiq> !irssi | Okashi
[15:02] <pbx> There isn't any way to run a text-mode install from the regular LiveCD, is there?
[15:02] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis,this proprietary drivers issue has become confusing for some , including me. To me "propretary" means adriver offered on the HW website as opposed to the default kernel source driver .
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> pbx:  not that i have ever seen
[15:02] <Okashi> cmd = kriptonite
[15:02] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i cant find info about this problem on the internet
[15:03] <Yam_> Dr_Willis Ubuntu automatically found and installed it
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> BluesKaj:  the ones with ubuntu are the 'gpl' drivers.. the  package manager has the property drivers allready in deb format.. vs the 'nvidia site' drivers that are a .sh/.run thing.
[15:03] <Walex> Yam_: you need to get into the console, and then start the reconfig. The relevant wiki page has the details
[15:03] <Okashi> so I wanna change the drivers for BOTH moniter to NV and reboot.
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  just change nvidia to be 'nv'
[15:03] <AdvoWork> whats up with:  mount -t cifs -o  //EXTERNALIP/SHARE /home/Scripts/test/ ?
[15:03] <Okashi> it's listed once for each monitor
[15:03] <geboy> guys, what do i need to make my ubuntu desktop to become a hotspot server + bandwidth management
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  You got a -o where its not needed perhaps?
[15:04] <geboy> atleast the ability to become a router with management feature
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  heres my single monitor xorg.conf for an example --> http://pastebin.com/zU8NkxVL
[15:04] <Yam_> walex how do I get into the console
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  you have 2 nvidia cards? or 1 card with 2+ monitors?
[15:05] <id10t> anyone know when (what file) in the livecd boot process the livecd user gets created?
[15:05] <Okashi> 1 card for 2 monitors
[15:05] <geboy> id10t why?
[15:05] <id10t> geboy, trying to do some crazy stuff w/ a custom live cd, run OS from cd, get /home from flash drive
[15:06] <Walex> Yam_: CTRL-ALT-F1, but please read the relevant Wiki page
[15:06] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, close enuff , maybe we should find a better defintion in this case ..maybe "default-proprietary" vs "site-proprietary"  opr some such
[15:06] <id10t> geboy, so i'm guessing i should mount the flash just after the user is created... perhaps even in the same script
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  you could move your xorg.conf somewhere. and try mine. and change the nvidia to be 'nv'
[15:06] <Yam_> walex at startup?
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  i dont have any twinview enabled configs handy to look at.
[15:06] <Okashi> hm... lets try that if what I have done doesn't work
[15:07] <Okashi> I'm hesitant to import files from other systems after a HUGE issue with windows I had once with .dlls
[15:07] <Walex> Yam_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690760
[15:07] <izinucs> Okashi: did you hand configure your xorg? are you using the binary driver? How was it installed? (manually or thorugh the PPA)
[15:07] <Walex> Yam_: case "1b)" in that page
[15:08] <BluesKaj> Okashi, no dlls in the windows way in linux
[15:08] <geboy> id10t: sorry, i think i even noober than you in ubuntu. i was just asking why do you need to change the user
[15:08] <Okashi> XD confused
[15:08] <AdvoWork> im doing //EXTERNALIP/share /home/Scripts/test cifs exec and getting mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on  //EXTERNALIP/share  how can i find out the fs type? its a cifs/smb share..
[15:08] <Okashi> THANK MERCY FOR NO DLL..
[15:08] <geboy> try looking in the DSL forum perhaps they got some answer
[15:08] <geboy> damn small linux
[15:08] <techouse> Okashi: seems you ain't using wine :D
[15:09] <Okashi> I can't use wine atm, I'm on the Live Cd
[15:09] <pksadiq> techouse: might be beers ;)
[15:09] <Okashi> Dr_Willis: my xorg is a lot longer
[15:09] <techouse> Okashi: wrong....you can :D
[15:09] <techouse> it will get installed to your ram
[15:09] <techouse> :)
[15:10] <Okashi> techouse, I tried and it will not download it using the software center
[15:10] <techouse> Okashi: aptitude is your friend :D
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  just googlign for 'mount cifs example' gives a few with extra options..
[15:10] <Okashi> I'm very apt when I have some idea what I am doing
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.1/d /mnt/win-d
[15:10] <Okashi> XD
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/d /mnt/win-d -o username=mysurface
[15:10] <geboy> !QT
[15:11] <Okashi> Dr_Willis: I do see where you mean though and I have changed and saved that
[15:11] <pksadiq> techouse: might be apt-get moo
[15:11] <geboy> !radius
[15:11] <techouse> pksadiq: aptitude install -v
[15:11] <techouse> :D
[15:12] <Okashi> SIGN me up for app-get +100 IQ
[15:12] <Okashi> then I can just google command line and phographically learn it
[15:12] <leo_ro> hello everyone
[15:13] <OY1R> Why cant http://www.canyouseeme.org/ see me on port 51413, i have it forwarded in the router?
[15:13] <leo_ro> I'm having problems with some rebel packages that don't want to install / uninstall: http://dpaste.com/275521/
[15:13] <pksadiq> Okashi: in command line you can also browse net using w3m   browser
[15:13] <leo_ro> if anyone can give me a hand there I'd appreciate it. I already found an Ubuntu Question about this, but it wasn't solved.

[15:14] <starredsteria> Is anyone here having issues with evolution? the process is running.. but the mail client is not opening
[15:14] <brontoeee> what would be a 'mouse pointer blanker' ?
[15:14] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: go ahead
[15:14] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone, goltoof_: I already pasted the info... http://dpaste.com/275521/
[15:14] <Kulverstukas> why is this happening...? when I have 2 USB flash drives (or 1 external harddrive on USB and one flash drive) and I try to transfer something between them, or something from internal harddrive to the flash or vice versa, my ubuntu copy dialog and process starts to lag and eventually hangs... but when I use the "Send to" command from context menu, everything is fine - no lag, no hanging and files are not corrupt.
[15:15] <Okashi> okay, off to reboot
[15:15] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  lemme watch..
[15:16] <flax^_> im having some trouble with MInecraft and fglrx. It works if i uninstall fglrx but its really scetchy. Are there any other ati drivers that i can try?
[15:16] <Walex> Kulverstukas: It is unlikely that the difference is really made by the method of copy
[15:16] <Walex> Kulverstukas: it is far more likely that the USB drives are buggy (so many are) and the bugs only happen with specific sequences of commands, that is they are time dependent.
[15:18] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: kill all applications in the pc ....then do that again....
[15:18] <Kulverstukas> Walex, it does happen with all my drives I have
[15:18] <id10t> anyone know when (what file) in the livecd boot process the livecd user gets created?
[15:19] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: I did that from tty without X running already.
[15:19] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: in fact, gdm is not showing a login box
[15:20] <zxd> hi
[15:20] <zxd> is it possible to configure a process to be shutdown last when doing poweroff
[15:20] <zxd> I saw something in ../init.d/sendsigs
[15:20] <randy_> I use /etc/init.dgdm stop to stop gdm then restart it in tty1,how can I logout tty1 without kill X
[15:20] <zxd> about omit
[15:20] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: I'm here from irssi on a recovery console
[15:20] <Walex> Kulverstukas: it could be a a buggy USB chip *in the PC*. Or perhaps a buggy hub if you use a hub. Unfortunately USB stuff is quite unreliable, and mass-storage in particular. I try to use eSATA whenever I can.
[15:20] <id10t> zxd play with the links in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d
[15:20] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  hmmm....u mean ,,,,,?   ok tell me any crashes so far
[15:20] <starredsteria> Evolution won't open for me (installed version 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.1) can anyone help?
[15:20] <Walex> randy_: one way is to run 'xinit' in a 'screen', detach the 'screen' instance and logout.
[15:20] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: I can't start gnome normally... and I have broken packages. That's the problem so far.
[15:21] <F0sterO4> morning, does anyone knows of a good guide as far as how to install a PXE server on ubuntu?
[15:21] <DasEi> starredsteria: try from terminal and pastebin the erroroutput
[15:21] <Yam_> CTRL ALT F1 does nothing walex it just causes the computer to beep
[15:21] <DasEi> !paste
[15:21] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: if I run startx from the recovery console, Gnome starts but it pop ups some errors
[15:21] <randy_> Walex, can tell what shall I type and in where
[15:21] <rmrfslash> can I get details about a particular synaptic package i.e. what specific version of the library or module that's being installed?
[15:22] <MyloveIsGone> hmm .... leo_ro try to update ..
[15:22] <DasEi> rmrfslash: apt-cache show gedit (or whatever)
[15:22] <Walex> randy_: that's really a case of reading the 'screen' manual :-). However type 'screen' and then 'xinit -- :1'. The sooner you learn about 'screen' the better, it is amazingly useful
[15:22] <goltoof_> leo_ro:   i get gnome errors on startup even with fresh install
[15:22] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: that didn't work. I also tried to reinstall, to remove, to remove purge, and to manually download the package and dpkg -i
[15:22] <leo_ro> goltoof_: well, that doesn't sound good to me.
[15:22] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  give me a sec
[15:22] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: sure, thanks.
[15:23] <Walex> Yam_: if it just beeps that probably it has not not booted into GNU/Linux yet. Then you have a bigger problem than the GUI.
[15:23] <goltoof_> leo_ro:  nor i,  seems a little common though..  same happened with 10.04 on multiple machines.  it's just, ugly
[15:23] <Yam_> walex I am able to get into the command prompt when I hold shift
[15:23] <randy_> Walex, I know waht you say,screen is a soft I know,a shell.but how does system do this
[15:23] <starredsteria> DasEi, erroroutput: command not found
[15:24] <Alex90> Afternoon everyone, I'm having trouble setting up a server in a DMZ so that it can see the internet. The server can resolve the ip addresses but can't ping them. I've tried route add to no avail.
[15:24] <Walex> Yam_: ahhhhh then if you can get into the commmand promp follow the instructions in that page.
[15:24] <goltoof_> not gnome errors specifically, just errors as x is starting
[15:24] <Walex> Yam_:  note that command prompt is probably the single user command prompt. CTRL-ALT-F1 works if the system has booted normally in multiuser mode.
[15:24] <DasEi> starredsteria: misunderstood me, just enter evolution in a terminal and report the response
[15:24] <id10t> Alex90, the device between the dmz and the web may be dropping icmp packets...
[15:24] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: u there
[15:25] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: yes
[15:25] <Yam_> okwalex I can get into the command prompt with recovery mode right?
[15:25] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  this can help you ....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=677547
[15:25] <Walex> Yam_: that's another way.
[15:25] <Yam_> walex should I choose netroot or root
[15:25] <Walex> Yam_: not.
[15:26] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: okay, let me check that out.
[15:26] <Yam_> walex they both look like command prompts
[15:26] <Alex90> id10t: Thanks, but t worked fine with winodws ont the box so I think it's a config thing not packets being dropped.
[15:26] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro yeah go on
[15:26] <Walex> Yam_: 'root'
[15:26] <AdvoWork> in /etc/fstab ive got: EXTERNALIP:/share/ /home/Scripts/test/  nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr   yet sudo mount -a keeps giving: mount: can't get address for //EXTERNALIP etc etc
[15:26] <Yam_> ok walex
[15:26] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: http://dpaste.com/275525/ that didn't work.
[15:27] <ventrik> I have a catch 22 type issue with Ubuntu
[15:27] <starredsteria> DasEi, nothing happens..
[15:27] <starredsteria> DasEi, is there a bug report cmd I can use for it?
[15:27] <ventrik> I cannot load it, LiveCD or installed. It's the GPU, as soon as anything graphical wants to load, I'm left with a white/black screen.
[15:27] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: /var/cache/apt/archives# aptitude upgrade
[15:28] <izinucs> ventrik: ask your question.. not many here know what catch 22 is :)
[15:28] <ikonia> ventrik: use the alternative CD
[15:28] <ventrik> Did
[15:28] <DasEi> starredsteria: no, shure it's installed ? sudo apt-get install evolution
[15:28] <ventrik> It's Vesa?
[15:28] <pea_brain> dear all, I am planning to make a distro based on ubuntu 10.04 LTS server. which is the best method ?
[15:28] <izinucs> ventrik: you might add "nomodset" to the kernel line on boot.
[15:28] <ventrik> Bascially I need to delete whatever driver Ubuntu is running from the GRUB loader
[15:28] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: same errors than with apt-get
[15:29] <ikonia> pea_brain: offtopic and not supported here - if you want to make your own distro, you should know how
[15:29] <starredsteria> DasEi, yes I've uninstalled.. reinstalled.... current version installed is 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.1... worked Friday.. for some reason won't open today
[15:29] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  do autoremove
[15:29] <ventrik> nonodeset? Alright, I'll try that, rebooting.
[15:29] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: same thing
[15:30] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  give me some time ..
[15:30] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: okay, thanks
[15:30] <pea_brain> ikonia: if it is off topic here, where should i go and ask ?
[15:30] <Yam_> walex ... I typed in the first command on that page
[15:30] <ikonia> pea_brain: a build your own distro style channel
[15:31] <DasEi> starredsteria: what does the terminal respond if you enter evolution ?
[15:31] <starredsteria> DasEi,... I think I know how I may be able to fix it.. how can I downgrade evolution?
[15:31] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  u there
[15:31] <DasEi> !remaster > pea_brain
[15:31] <Yam_> walex ... I get this message .... Rather than invoking ihit scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service (8) utility, e.g service gdm stop
[15:32] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  ping
[15:32] <gregL> Is anyone have a problem keeping the pc time in sync,using npt???
[15:32] <pea_brain> ikonia, but i need a derivative of lts server, so can someone help me out with it ?
[15:32] <aeon-ltd> gregL: i think you mean ntp
[15:32] <DasEi> starredsteria: I could tell you, but my last question ?
[15:33] <aeon-ltd> !ntp | gregL
[15:33] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: do this "sudo dpkg --configure -a"...execute it without quotes
[15:33] <ikonia> pea_brain: no
[15:33] <ikonia> pea_brain: it's not supported
[15:33] <gregL> aeon-ltd, yup thanks
[15:33] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  do it ^^^
[15:33] <goltoof_> gregL:  I had that before, turned out to be some kind of conflict between hardware time and ntp time
[15:33] <starredsteria> DasEi,  it does nothing. I type it in.. it goes to the next line... and just stays thee
[15:34] <ventrik1> I left?
[15:34] <ventrik1> o.o
[15:34] <ventrik1> Oh haha
[15:34] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: that didn't work either http://dpaste.com/275530/
[15:35] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: do this "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[15:35] <gregL> goltoof_, Thanks I have been fighting this for a week now...I did notice my hardware time was off and corrected it...
[15:35] <DasEi> starredsteria: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:35] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: that's what I just did
[15:35] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  hmmmm
[15:35] <leo_ro> and it didn't work... http://dpaste.com/275530/
[15:35] <starredsteria> DasEi, the issue I think is that Im using a proposed version
[15:36] <pea_brain> thanks all. will give it a try
[15:36] <DasEi> starredsteria: how's that ? added a ppa ? or installed from a deb/tarball ?
[15:37] <Yam_> walex are you there buddy :)?
[15:37] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: sorry man ...i am upto this man
[15:37] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: :S
[15:38] <Walex> Yam_: been away a bit
[15:38] <Yam_> ok walex
[15:38] <goltoof_> gregL:   :)  just curious, how did you go about correcting the hardware time?
[15:38] <Yam_> were you able to see the previous message?
[15:38] <Walex> Yam_: if the ATI driver is not working, GDM cannot start. The key command is the X reconfigure.
[15:39] <seme> hey guys... I'm trying to decide if I want to download 32 or 64bit ubuntu... I have a 64bit computer and I've used the 64bit ubuntu in the past but is there any reason to choose 32bit ubuntu?  Why does it say recommended on the site(is it just b/c 32bit works on both hardware?)?
[15:39] <Walex> goltoof_: 'sudo hwclock --systohc'
[15:39] <goltoof_> Walex,  thx
[15:40] <Walex> seme: it used to be that some popular binary-only plugins were not available in 64b mode, and it still consumes a bit more memory, buit it is also a bit faster.
[15:40] <Yam_> walex so are you saying that wiki page wont apply
[15:40] <goltoof_> Walex:   does that just sync it automatically to ntp?
[15:41] <Walex> Yam_: wiki page says how to reconfigure X... You don't need to follow *all* steps, just those that match your situation.
[15:41] <Yam_> ok walex but I typed in the command on the first step and I got this message
[15:41] <Walex> goltoof_: as 'man hwclock' would tell, that command makes the hw clock have the same time as the sw clock. NTP only synchronizes the sw clock to a remote clock.
[15:42] <thefatloverboy> how to install this web cam ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100
[15:42] <Yam_> walex ... Rather than invoking ihit scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service (8) utility, e.g service gdm stop
[15:42] <goltoof_> Walex:  sorry, command didn't give me any output which made me ask what it does
[15:43] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: thanks for your help. I'll see how I can solve this. Bye!
[15:43] <Tasser> how do I install tk 8.6 on ubuntu?
[15:43] <Tasser> (lucid)
[15:43] <Walex> thefatloverboy: not all webcams or other peripherals are supported, it is usually a good idea to choose hw which is known to work well.
[15:44] <Okashi> Dr_Wallis: you still here?
[15:44] <Walex> goltoof_:  a fundamental design principle of UNIX-like systems is that commands print nothing unless it is really required. Too bad many developers havwe forgotten that.
[15:44] <r4_> so ive been following this guide.... http://omapzoom.org/wiki/Prebuilt_ubuntu_binaries ......and im getting a blank screen with a blinking cursor. is this usually due to a lack of a boot loader or just lack of a properly configged bootloader?
[15:44] <Roasted_> I have a laptop with an intel graphics card. I'm having some very ridiculous problems with my video. It's as if it forgets what resolution I use, and sometimes it somehow thinks I run dual screen because the mouse will travel over to the right continuously as if a monitor is there. I'm (to say the least) a little sick of this issue. I'm wondering if generating a xorg file with the proper resolution would be an answer. How would I do this?
[15:44] <thefatloverboy> yes but i was checking this  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustWebcamWB-1400T
[15:45] <Okashi> :S
[15:45] <Okashi> XD he left...
[15:46] <Walex> Roasted_: those are common problems with the "intel" graphics driver, that has been somewhat misdesigned.
[15:46] <Okashi> just when I managed to think of a way to make the GUI work too..
[15:46] <Walex> Roasted_: blame Jim Gettys and the MS-Windows succubi at intel.
[15:46] <Roasted_> Walex, yeah, that's what I'm reading.
[15:46] <Roasted_> Walex, well I don't mind the intel thing, I would just prefer it would keep my resolution.
[15:46] <eriksson25> anyone, need help with the comands for runing fsck on a ext4, its not mounted so just need the right comand
[15:47] <goltoof_> Walex:  yes i realize that just because there's no output doesn't mean it's not doing anything..  the commands that give no output scare me more than anything
[15:47] <Roasted_> Walex, any idea how I generate a xorg to handle the resolution properly?
[15:47] <Walex> Roasted_: if you are using a recent version of Ubuntu, you must use 'xrandr' manually to get reliable results.
[15:47] <Roasted_> Walex, is that for getting xorg running?
[15:47] <goltoof_> Roasted_:   typically the hardware drivers will generate that for you
[15:47] <Walex> Roasted_: unfortunately the 'intel' driver largely ignores the X config, and just about only respects RANDR commands.
[15:47] <Roasted_> goltoof_, that's what I THOUGHT...
[15:47] <Roasted_> goltoof_, but thats not the case with intel from what I read.
[15:48] <goltoof_> Roasted_:   ALL intel?
[15:48] <Walex> eriksson25: that would be 'e2fsck /dev/sd??'
[15:48] <Roasted_> goltoof_, from what I understand.
[15:48] <goltoof_> Roasted_:   good to know
[15:48] <Okashi> Please, did Dr_Wallis say if he was coming back?
[15:49] <Roasted_> Walex, are you on an intel system now?
[15:49] <Walex> Roasted_:  yes, but not one that runs Ubuntu.
[15:49] <Roasted_> Walex, do you by chance have this program installed?
[15:49] <goltoof_> I just accidentally typed !2 at the terminal and it opens /etc/network/interfaces  ??  other nums do different things, !1, !2, !6, etc... what is this?
[15:49] <Walex> Roasted_: which program?
[15:49] <Roasted_> Walex, I just fired it up from software center. It came odwn as grandr though, which I assume is the gnome edition of it.
[15:50] <Walex> goltoof_: !N repeats command N in the shell history
[15:50] <Roasted_> Walex, thing is, under outputs I have two items. the 2nd item is listed as TV1. I'm curious if thats why my screen sometimes thinks theres a 2nd monitor attached.
[15:50] <Roasted_> Walex, or does this app list the 2nd item due to there being an external VGA port on my laptop??
[15:50] <Walex> Roasted_: 'grandr' is the gui version of 'xrandr'.
[15:50] <Roasted_> Walex, ah okay.
[15:50] <Roasted_> Walex, was going to say, I typed in "xrand" and this is the first thing that came up.
[15:51] <goltoof_> Walex:    so it's just repeating command "2"?  !N  command not found..
[15:51] <Okashi> -____- now what am I supposed to do. .. my moniters still stuck at 640 480....
[15:51] <Walex> goltoof_: don't be silly...
[15:51] <Yam_> walex should I type this in the command
[15:51] <Yam_> pkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:51] <goltoof_> Walex:   :|   I'm dead serious
[15:51] <Walex> Yam_: comething like that  indeed.
[15:51] <Galindar>   
[15:51] <Yam_> walex none of the commands worked
[15:51] <Roasted_> Walex, lol, as we speak my laptop thinks I have a 2nd monitor. my mouse disappears to the right. come on, intel. you make some sweet wifi drivers but suck at this video thing.
[15:51] <Yam_> on that wiki page
[15:52] <goltoof_> Walex: really though, why's it opening all this networking stuff when i type ! and then a number in terminal?
[15:52] <Walex> goltoof_: the N is the number of the N-th command in your shell history.
[15:52] <Walex> goltoof_: try 'history | less' for a list
[15:53] <Galindar> goltoof_:  i might be wrong but !1 would be last command you used !2 would be the command before that and so on.
[15:53] <goltoof_> Walex,  gotchas
[15:53] <thefatloverboy> help
[15:53] <Walex> Yam_: the whole sequence of commands has to work. The really important one is that with 'dpkg-reconfigure'
[15:53] <thefatloverboy> how to install my web cam
[15:54] <Okashi> Can anyone else help me?
[15:55] <Yam_> walex when I type in this dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:55] <Yam_> nothing happens walex
[15:55] <Yam_> walex it just goes to a different line

[15:59] <d3v0> thanks goltoof_
[15:59] <Yam_> Dr_Willis would you know why.... su dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't work?
[16:00] <Okashi> and thanx to the people who made me laugh, I managed to suck it up
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> Yam_:  you use 'sudo' for starters.. and i dont think dpkg-reconfigure xserver has worked in ages...
[16:01] <Yam_> I see Dr_Willis
[16:01] <geboy> gosh ...i can't seems to get this freeradius to work with my mikrotik

[16:05] <julio> hi
[16:05] <julio> help my notebook too hot in Ubuntu 10.10
[16:06] <duckk> is there a chanel for help with hardware? i tried joining #hardware, but it says it is invite only
[16:06] <Olathe> Are the contents of /usr/local preserved when Ubuntu is upgraded?
[16:06] <coz_> duckk,  let me check hold on
[16:06] <Kartagis> I want to install phpmyadmin but it's trying to retrieve the newer version of php, which I don't want. how can I prevent this?
[16:07] <howlymowly> hi poeple..  is it somehow possible to turn off the plymouth boot-screen?
[16:07] <sipior> Olathe: they should not be touched, more or less by definition.
[16:07] <duckk> Kartagis, just download and install one of the old versions of phpmyadmin from the website
[16:07] <Olathe> Alright, thanks :)
[16:07] <coz_> duckk,    try  ##hardware
[16:07] <sipior> convention, rather
[16:07] <rautamiekka> Kartagis: You could launch Aptitude and either KEEP or HOLD the newer PHP.
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> howlymowly:  you can edit the /etc/default/grub like the following
[16:07] <duckk> coz_, thanks. looks like i need to identify first
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> # To disable Plymouth and have a TEXT boot screens  Change -> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
[16:08] <FloodBot1> Dr_Willis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:08] <howlymowly> kk  thx Dr_Willis
[16:08] <coz_> duckk,  you may need to register your nick
[16:08] <DasEi> Yam_: seems catalyst is still not doing the trick, so have to use the radeon driver, which increased ability : http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man4/radeon.4.html
[16:08] <Kartagis> duckk, I did that, but I want the repo version now
[16:08] <howlymowly> shut upt FloodBot1 :)
[16:08] <delinquentme> Hey all .. so im looking to do nearly a ground-up fix on my laptop ... im doing a few partitions: 1. windows OS 2. windows file-system (NTFS and w access to ubuntu) 3. ubuntu OS 4. ubuntu file system ... 3 questions .. 1)is this a smart way to set up a computer if i need ot run windows .. 2) is windows 7 a NTFS filesystem .. 3) would windows play well on a shared partition which ubuntu has access to?
[16:08] <duckk> Kartagis, latest phpmyadmin requires php 5.2+ IIRC
[16:09] <duckk> coz_, yeah, my other nick is in use somehow :P
[16:09] <rautamiekka> Kartagis: Or if you know the name of the package, you can simply do "sudo aptitude hold PACKAGE"
[16:09] <coz_> duckk,  is the other one registered?
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> delinquentme:  dont forget a swap partition for ubuntu.. and ubuntu can read/write ntfs just fine. no real need for a spare 'shared' ntfs partition.
[16:09] <red2kic> GHOST!
[16:09] <howlymowly> delinquentme: #1 nope.. i dont think this is a smart way  #2 yep, #3 yes
[16:09] <Kartagis> rautamiekka, does that work with wildcards?
[16:09] <omar> hi
[16:10] <rautamiekka> Kartagis: No, sorry, neither APT nor Aptitude support wildcards.
[16:10] <Yam_> dasei so are you saying the card will not work :(
[16:10] <delinquentme> Dr_Willis, a swap partition?
[16:10] <DasEi> Yam_: no it works, but not with full 3d support
[16:11] <tommylommy2> Hi
[16:11] <delinquentme> and howlymowly a better way to setup a dual boot laptop??
[16:11] <Yam_> dasei I see what you mean
[16:11] <red2kic> Dr_Willis: Not plymouth-theme-text? :o
[16:11] <tommylommy2> Im I in the right place for bursting into tears about drivers on a fresh install?
[16:11] <Yam_> dasei how can I atleast use the pc
[16:11] <red2kic> tommylommy2: You're in the right place, sir.
[16:11] <Yam_> right now I cant even boot
[16:11] <Yam_> because of the driver
[16:11] <Yam_> or something
[16:12] <rautamiekka> What character encoding does Ubuntu use when it is installed for a Finnish or Swedish user ?
[16:12] <Kartagis> rautamiekka, is this doable? dpkg -i | grep php5 | sudo aptitude hold ?
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> red2kic:  i  just edit the grub config and do it that way
[16:12] <petan> Yam_: what is your problem?
[16:12] <tommylommy2> well
[16:12] <soc> rautamiekka: UTF-8
[16:12] <Yam_> petan Ubuntu automatically installed a video driver
[16:12] <tommylommy2> Ubuntu sees my wireless hardware, and says it has the correct drivers
[16:12] <petan> Yam_: and?
[16:12] <Yam_> petan and now it does not start
[16:12] <BluesKaj> !se | rautamiekka
[16:12] <petan> Yam_: with what error
[16:12] <soc> rautamiekka: i would assume, UTF-8 is always used
[16:12] <Yam_> no error oetan
[16:12] <Yam_> petan
[16:12] <tommylommy2> But I seem to be able to get anything to happen with the wireless...
[16:12] <BluesKaj> !fi | rautamiekka
[16:13] <petan> Yam_: what happen then
[16:13] <duckk> coz_, yeah, the other one is registered
[16:13] <DasEi> Yam_: delete any xorg.conf if any, try nomodset option at grubprompt,
[16:13] <Yam_> petan the monitor just turns off
[16:13] <petan> Yam_: try to press ctrl +alt + f1 after boot
[16:13] <tommylommy2> The up-down arrow icon on the desktop is declaring to me that 'wireless is disabled'
[16:13] <Yam_> petan it doesn't work I tfried
[16:13] <Yam_> tried
[16:13] <rautamiekka> Kartagis: Nope. E: Unknown term type: "".
[16:13] <tommylommy2> I'm far from being a linux Expert...
[16:13] <petan> Yam_: boot live cd
[16:14] <Yam_> ok petan
[16:14] <coz_> duckk, then  type  /msg nickserv ghost  yournick yourpassword
[16:14] <tommylommy2> Any ideas where might be a good place to be looking for something that can help?
[16:14] <duckk> coz_, ah nice. didn't know about that feature
[16:14] <petan> Yam_: check if /etc/X11/xorg.conf contain something
[16:14] <Yam_> petan I am booting live cd now
[16:14] <tehnef> tommylommy2: on a laptop?
[16:14] <DasEi> Yam_: did you already try to boot with nomodeset ?
[16:15] <tommylommy2> tehnef: Indeed
[16:15] <Okashi> Dr_Willis: what do I do now?
[16:15] <rautamiekka> Kartagis: A thing would be that you: 1) launch Aptitude; 2) find phpMyAdmin; 3) execute KEEP on each of the PHP stuff
[16:15] <tommylommy2> hence the wireless is sorta important
[16:15] <coz_> duckk,  if it      succeeds in ghosting it then type   /nick and change the nic you have here to the registered one  then    /msg nickserv identify  yourpassword
[16:15] <tehnef> tommylommy2: are you sure wireless is on? if there's a switch, check it. if there's a function key, press it
[16:15] <petan> off topic: do not suggest users to use ghost on freenode please, use release
[16:15] <Yam_> dasei I dont think
[16:15] <howlymowly> delinquentme: i guess from your comments that you are a new to linux? in that case you should ask yourself:  do i really need a dual-boot system? if you need windows just for occasional things like ms-office etc..  you'd be better of with a virtualbox installation instead. I always tell friends: do they *really* want to make the transition to linux? then they should do it "completly" because otherwise they will not get used to
[16:15] <howlymowly>  it..  if they just want to try it out..  stay with your windows installation and use a live-CD
[16:15] <tommylommy2> tehnef: It's on
[16:16] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  about  what? I have the attention span of a Newt.
[16:16] <DasEi> Yam_: you know how to da that ?
[16:16] <tommylommy2> or at least, as far as the on/off light on the front is telling me
[16:16] <tehnef> tommis: have you tried right clicking the up-down arrow and enabling it?
[16:16] <Yam_> dasei petan is suggesting I boot from live cd right now
[16:16] <Yam_> so its booting :)
[16:16] <delinquentme> howlymowly, id be using it primarily for sc2 and photoshop .. and im fairly used to ubuntu .. been devving on it for a while
[16:16] <Okashi> um... well I got Ubuntu to boot, but my moniter is still stuck on 640 480 res.
[16:16] <DasEi> Yam_: k
[16:16] <aa__> Hello! I've can get no audio on Ubuntu 10.01, any clues? I need for Skype
[16:16] <tommylommy2> tehnef: Is there a enable button?
[16:16] <Kartagis> rautamiekka, when I hold those packages, then I attempt too install phpmyadmin, apt-get is still requesting that php5 packages upgraded. is this how it's supposed to be?
[16:16] <tommylommy2> ahwait
[16:16] <petan> Yam_: I though you do that
[16:16] <samba> hi all - i'm in the middle of a dist-upgrade, moving to  Maverick, and left the machine overnight... now it's stalled  on grub-pc upgrade, needs config confirmation, but keyboard  and mouse have stopped altogether for some reason
[16:16] <tommylommy2> the enable entry is greyed out
[16:17] <delinquentme> howlymowly, the other thing is virtual boxing it .. id be crushing the hell out of my processor running 2 operating systems ... and SCII on top ... am i right ?
[16:17] <evon> I installed ubuntu 10.04 on a computer once and I had to do this workaround (pppoe thing) to get the DSL connection working. is this the same case in ubuntu 10.10?
[16:17] <Yam_> petan I am in the live cd now
[16:17] <rautamiekka> Kartagis: Since you held the packages via Aptitude, you must use Aptitude to install phpMyAdmin.
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  whats your exact video card anyway?
[16:17] <duckx0r> coz_, thanks. got my nick back :)
[16:17] <tehnef> tommylommy2: system:administration:network
[16:17] <nicola> ciao list
[16:17] <aa__> Hello! I got no audio on Ubuntu 10.10, any clues?
[16:17] <Yam_> petan it asks Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu
[16:17] <petan> Yam_: mount your ubuntu partition
[16:17] <Okashi> nvidia GeForce 8200
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  and you are using a hdmi cable to the TV?
[16:18] <tommylommy2> ok, I have navigated to 'network tools'
[16:18] <tehnef> tommylommy2: at least i think it's there...i don't let NetworkManager handle my network
[16:18] <petan> Yam_: open terminal and mount your partition then open <root>/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:18] <Okashi> tv is going through VGA
[16:18] <tehnef> tommylommy2: not tools. Try in system:preferences then
[16:18] <Yam_> petan do I go to live mode?
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  and you are using 2 monitors?
[16:18] <petan> Yam_: yes
[16:18] <Yam_> petan "try ubuntu"?
[16:18] <Okashi> yes
[16:18] <thefatloverboy> yes with cheese it work ś
[16:18] <YouArePwned> hey guys
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  is this a laptop?
[16:18] <YouArePwned> just a small question
[16:19] <Okashi> no, it's a desktop
[16:19] <tommylommy2> ok, I'm at 'network connections'
[16:19] <YouArePwned> in windows i could do that: echo %time%
[16:19] <thefatloverboy> and now for me to use it on skype ?
[16:19] <YouArePwned> so i get current time
[16:19] <YouArePwned> in linux?
[16:19] <evon> I installed ubuntu 10.04 on a computer once and I had to do this workaround (pppoe thing) to get the DSL connection working. is this the same case in ubuntu 10.10?
[16:19] <YouArePwned> i mean, in bash
[16:19] <DasEi> YouArePwned: date
[16:19] <tehnef> tommylommy2: sweet. did it ask you to put in your password?
[16:19] <petan> Yam_: open terminal do you know what is your partition
[16:19] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  so You did install the nvidia drivers and rebooted.. you did change the xorg.conf to get the system working via the 'nv' drivers right?
[16:19] <DasEi> YouArePwned: date -u for UTC
[16:19] <tommylommy2> tehnef: No
[16:19] <Okashi> that part didn't work
[16:19] <Yam_> petan, it only has one partition
[16:20] <YouArePwned> DasEi: thanks but i need to transfer the date to another program
[16:20] <YouArePwned> so like
[16:20] <Kartagis> rautamiekka, Aptitude can't find any php5
[16:20] <petan> Yam_: sata disk?
[16:20] <Yam_> petan I asked it to use the entire disk on install
[16:20] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  so what did you do then?
[16:20] <howlymowly> delinquentme: why not try it out :)? -->  at least on my system (on a 1.8GHz dual core, 3G RAM) this works well..  though i am not using it to play pc-games with it...
[16:20] <Yam_> no its a external HD
[16:20] <Sirisian|Work_> What's the default raid setup in ubuntu server?
[16:20] <Okashi> I used the Xorg.conf.backup, copy rename to Xorg.conf
[16:20] <petan> Yam_: then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[16:20] <Yam_> usb
[16:20] <YouArePwned> ./foo.pl env1 date env3
[16:20] <tommylommy2> to the best of my knowlege, ubuntu is acting as if my network hardware is off and doesn't want to be turned on
[16:20] <petan> Yam_: usb disk?
[16:20] <rautamiekka> Kartagis: "sudo aptitude update" or via Aptitude's interface.
[16:20] <nUboon2Age> sorry evon i don't know, but thank you for mentioning that since i hadn't heard of it before
[16:20] <Yam_> YES PETAN
[16:20] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  so its back to a single monitor setup using  the nv driver? what does the xorg.conf now say the driver is?
[16:20] <Yam_> sorry for caps
[16:20] <Sirisian|Work_> I mean if I have 3 hard drives. What does ubuntu use. I noticed each drive is 30 GB and it shows 60 GB after install.
[16:20] <petan> Yam_: well is it mounted?
[16:20] <Yam_> petan
[16:21] <Okashi> nvidia
[16:21] <Yam_> petan it should be
[16:21] <DasEi> YouArePwned: which program ? either use a function in that prog or pipe date to it
[16:21] <petan> Yam_ what mount point
[16:21] <tehnef> tommylommy2: that's what it seems like. sorry i can't really help any further. i haven't used NetworkManager in a while
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  so the nvidia-settings tool is not showing the higher res then ? thats the main issue?
[16:21] <YouArePwned> DasEi: yeah, it's a perl script. so how to pipe?
[16:21] <nhck> Hi - I cannot access some URLs on my ubuntu desktop. How do I check whats blocking it?
[16:21] <Okashi> yes
 You're welcome :-/
[16:21] <YouArePwned> and oops
[16:21] <YouArePwned> i meant perl foo.pl
[16:21] <Yam_> petan I have no idea my friend I am new to this
[16:21] <tommylommy2> ok, Any pointers as to where to investigate late?
[16:21] <tommylommy2> *next?
[16:22] <Yam_> petan I am in command prmpt now
[16:22] <petan> Yam_ ok, is you type ls /dev/sd* do you see sda1
[16:22] <Yam_> I can type in commands
[16:22] <thefatloverboy> my cam work ś with cheese
[16:22] <petan> Yam_ if so type sudo umount /dev/sda1
[16:22] <thefatloverboy> and now for me to use it in skype ?
[16:22] <DasEi> YouArePwned: simple use the functions in that script then : time, localtime, gmtime
[16:23] <Yam_> petan it says sda1 sda2 sda5
[16:23] <Yam_> and sda
[16:23] <Yam_> petan
[16:23] <petan> Yam_ ok type sudo umount sda1
[16:23] <YouArePwned> DasEi: I will try now
[16:23] <petan> Yam_ then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[16:23] <Yam_> 'petan command not found
[16:24] <YouArePwned> well
[16:24] <YouArePwned> uhmm
[16:24] <petan> Yam_ umount not unmount
[16:24] <YouArePwned> i'm still confused that Windows CAN and Ubuntu CAN'T!!
[16:24] <thefatloverboy> so some one can help me ?
[16:24] <DasEi> Yam_: sudo umount /dev/sda1
[16:24] <YouArePwned> there MUST be some other way
[16:24] <tehnef> tommylommy2: have you looked in hardware drivers? might be as simple as enabling the driver.
[16:24] <YouArePwned> other than editing a perl script :P
[16:24] <Yam_> it says not mounted
[16:25] <tommylommy2> tehnef: Will do
[16:25] <nUboon2Age> thefatloverboy: just ask your question and if someone can they might. don't just ask if you can get help. you won't get a response for that.
[16:25] <tehnef> tommylommy2: errr...system:administration:additional drivers
[16:25] <tommylommy2> aah
[16:25] <tommylommy2> That
[16:25] <ysk> how to uninstall compiz 09 and reinstall 08 in ubuntu 10.10
[16:25] <YouArePwned> maybe something like echo $* will work
[16:25] <YouArePwned> but what?
[16:25] <tommylommy2> Yes, afaict from it, I have drivers and they are running
[16:26] <ysk> compiz 09 is weird its getting crash after every minute
[16:26] <thefatloverboy> ok, my go cam works with cheese  and now for me to use it in skype  what do i have to do ?
[16:26] <Yam_> petan it says not mounted
[16:26] <ysk> plz answer my question
[16:26] <petan> Yam_ then mount
[16:26] <Dr_Willis> !info compiz
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> version 8.6 is allready in ubuntu.. or am i backwards..
[16:27] <Yam_> petan  sudo mount /dev/sda1?
[16:27] <DasEi> YouArePwned: the script needs a variable, to pipe the output of date could go date | pastebinit, f.e.
[16:27] <flone> hi. quick question: i'm using nvidia drivers with twinview - any possibility to specify a single screen for a fs application (ogl) without using metamodes?
[16:27] <Pici> Dr_Willis: No thats correct.  The 9.1 at the end has to do with the Ubuntu packaging.
[16:27] <ysk> i have compiz 0.9
[16:27] <ysk> and its not gud at all getting crash
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> ysk:  and how did you get that?
[16:27] <DasEi> ysk: which graphic card ?
[16:27] <YouArePwned> DasEi: but how to do that outside of the script
[16:28] <ysk> how to check
[16:28] <Dr_Willis> flone:  i dont think so.. but i have taken an app and sort of straddled both windows. then resized it to fill up both monitors. :)
[16:28] <Dr_Willis> flone:  makes for weird gameplay in some games.
[16:28] <aeon-ltd> ysk: lspci, it should be there
[16:28] <Okashi> Dr_Willis: any suggestions for me? I have one moniter at 640 480 and the other at 1680-1024
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  try it with only monitor and see if it  can up the res on the  640 one.
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  i dont use vga any more.. dvi has a lot less hassles.
[16:29] <petan> Yam_ do that
[16:29] <Yam_> petan what do I type to mount it
[16:29] <petan> Yam_ exactly that
[16:29] <Yam_> petan it did not work
[16:29] <petan> Yam_ what is said
[16:29] <YouArePwned> ok, then i rephrase a question
[16:29] <Okashi> I only have one dvi port and the TV only has a vga connector
[16:29] <Yam_> it says cant find /dev/sda1
[16:29] <Yam_> petan
[16:29] <delinquentme> so im looking for suggestions from an ubuntu POV here ... the best windows OS ... im assuming its not vista .. XP or win 7???
[16:30] <YouArePwned> how can a command's output be used as an enviroinmental variable
[16:30] <goltoof_> Okashi:   I've had nightmarish problems try to get two monitors to work, then i unplug one and things start working, that was with an ati though
[16:30] <AbhiJit> pov?
[16:30] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  its possible you will need to force the mode via a xorg.conf edit. or the xrandr or some other tool. ive never had to do that.
[16:30] <Okashi> goltoof, it worked fine untill it dl'd x server...
[16:30] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  downloaded what X server? Huh.
[16:30] <goltoof_> Okashi:   oic
[16:30] <ysk> how to check like where should i go or write anything in terminal to check
[16:31] <petan> Yam_ you said you get it from ls
[16:31] <goltoof_> ysk: check   /var/log  first  if you're getting crashes
[16:31] <Yam_> petan did I have to include ls in the command/
[16:31] <GeForce88> do the 10.10 repos contain the packages for kde-desktop ?
[16:31] <sipior> YouArePwned: for example: "foo=$(date); echo $foo"
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> GeForce88:  yes.  Normally you install 'kubuntu-desktop'
[16:32] <petan> Yam_ no, try mount /dev/sda2 /mnt then
[16:32] <Okashi> dual moniters worked fine right after install, but I clicked "visual Effects, and it downloaded a driver with Nvidia X server, that driver doesn't work
[16:32] <GeForce88> Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.ca/1992322
[16:32] <petan> Yam_: I am not sure which partition is your main
[16:32] <YouArePwned> sipior: YAY IT WORKED
[16:32] <YouArePwned> THANKS SO MUCH
[16:32] <geboy> mmmm....does anyone knows what i can use to edit website in ubuntu?
[16:32] <goltoof_> Okashi:   i'm surprised you're having this problem with nvidia.. you've already tried reinstalling the drivers?
[16:33] <goltoof_> Okashi:  aren't you using intel?
[16:33] <Okashi> reinstalling the drivers left me booting into a command line
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  you could disable the nvidia drivers with the system -> admin ->  Addational drivers -  And see if it starts working.. but your performace maybe poorer that way
[16:33] <goltoof_> Okashi: via hardware manager?
[16:33] <geboy> am i invisible or what? lol
[16:33] <arvind_khadri> geboy, if you have the html you can use any text editor
[16:33] <Calinou> hi... when i do Alt+Tab, it no longer works. I've enabled compiz for some testing, then i disabled it again, then i can't use Alt+Tab, which is very useful for me... thanks in advance for replying
[16:33] <goltoof_> Okashi:   sorry, "additional drivers"  in 10.10
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> GeForce88:  sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, and try again.
[16:33] <Okashi> goltoof: ?
[16:34] <DasEi> YouArePwned: date > myVariable
[16:34] <ysk> so many things in /var/log
[16:34] <goltoof_> Okashi:   i meant hardware drivers manger
[16:34] <Okashi> oh, well I tried that
[16:34] <GeForce88> Dr_Willis, ok.
[16:34] <evon> I installed ubuntu 10.04 on a computer once and I had to do this workaround (pppoe thing) to get the DSL connection working. is this the same case in ubuntu 10.10?
[16:34] <geboy> arvind_khadri: whatabout some wysiwig?
[16:34] <Okashi> system menu will not open
[16:34] <guest> hello everyone

[16:34] <arvind_khadri> !wysiwyg
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  run 'jockey-gtk' from a terminal then..
[16:34] <Yam_> petan it says mount point swap does not exist
[16:34] <Calinou> wirr: depends... google has much feautres
[16:34] <Yam_> petan I tried them all
[16:35] <Pici> !html | geboy
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> wirr:    use what you want..  :)
[16:35] <Calinou> anyone to reply @ my problem ?

[16:35] <AbhiJit> i dunno what topic is going on but kompozer is good wysiwyg
[16:35] <guest> trying to install Pinguy on my drive now
[16:35] <lesshaste> I have a weird font problem in firefox.. see http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2966/screenshotsx.png
[16:35] <AbhiJit> or quntaplus
[16:35] <lesshaste> any ideas?
[16:35] <geboy> Pici: ah thanks alot...silly me to forget about our lovely bot lol
[16:35] <DasEi> ysk: I was distract, found you video card ?
[16:35] <flone> Dr_Willis: thx. that was what i expected - seems i have to disable one screen before starting unreal tournament..
[16:36] <ysk> no how could i
[16:36] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   sure it's not the page you're looking at?   looks fine
[16:36] <DasEi> ysk: lspci
[16:36] <Okashi> Okay, the reccomended driver is still enabled, I should "disable" it?
[16:36] <lesshaste> goltoof_: yes.. look at the menu option on the web page
[16:36] <ysk> i have got a lenove ideapad 10 inch
[16:36] <DasEi> ysk: search for the line beginning VGA compatible controller
[16:36] <geboy> mmm...which one you might consider the best anyway?
[16:36] <geboy> (in dealing with php stuffs and sql)
[16:36] <lesshaste> goltoof_: look to the right of the word "Home"
[16:37] <geboy> !ping me
[16:37] <DasEi> ysk: maybe not a good idea to run compiz on it
[16:37] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   that's not a firefox issue,  that has to do with how the person programmed the page
[16:37] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   try   /j #css
[16:37] <ysk> 0.8 was workin perfect
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> ysk:  how did you install .9 anyway? since .8 is the default in ubuntu..
[16:37] <GeForce88> Dr_Willis, total fail.
[16:38] <ysk> it was in ubuntu tweak upgrade
[16:38] <ysk> so i upgraded it even though in synaptic package manager i am getting 0.9 not 0.8
[16:38] <Roasted_> Can anybody think of a reason I cannot log in to wordpress admin on my site in chrome on my ubuntu laptop but my ubuntu desktop works great with chrome?
[16:38] <Calinou> nobody to reply to my question ? :(
[16:38] <evon> Roasted_ what error do you get?
[16:39] <Roasted_> says its not available or temporarily down, as if the URL is bad. yet. its not...
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> ysk:  so you need to remove .9 and reinstall .8 using the package manager, and perhaps the 'ppapurge' tool.
[16:39] <Okashi> *sigh* that removed x Server, but the settings are still stuck where X server put them
[16:39] <DasEi> ysk: ah so no problem with your grahic driver then, so remove it, clean your repositories and re-install .08
[16:39] <goltoof_> Roasted_:  can you with another broswer, on your laptop
[16:39] <goltoof_> ?
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> !ppapurge
[16:39] <ysk> how
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> !info ppapurge
[16:39] <Roasted_> goltoof_, yes, firefox works fine.
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> !info ppa-purge
[16:39] <goltoof_> Roasted_:    no idea
[16:39] <DasEi> ysk: see dr_willis
[16:39] <Calinou> !compiz
[16:39] <Calinou> :/
[16:39] <goltoof_> Roasted_:   i usually try reinstall chrome
[16:40] <Yam_> petan so are you unable to find a possible solution
[16:40] <Calinou> my alt-tab isn't working since i disabled compiz
[16:40] <petan> Yam_ no
[16:40] <petan> Yam_ wait, type fdisk -l
[16:40] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
[16:40] <petan> Yam_: pm me output
[16:40] <lesshaste> goltoof_: hmm.. well I only see it since upgrading to lucid
[16:40] <Dr_Willis> butive never used the tool. :) so no idea what arguments it takes.. heh
[16:40] <lesshaste> so it's an ubuntu problem in some way :)
[16:40] <lesshaste> goltoof_: do you see the problem in your browser?
[16:40] <ysk> ok
[16:40] <Dr_Willis> ysk:  ubuntu-tweak has a ppa purge feature also.
[16:40] <progre55> hi guys.. why does a process/job is "stopped" when I send it to the bg by ctrl+z? is there a way keeping it running?
[16:40] <Okashi> Should I just give it up and reinstall already? -___- I've been trying to fix for 7 hours now...
[16:40] <goltoof_> lesshaste: what's the url?
[16:41] <Roasted_> goltoof_, by chance do you know what chromes hidden folder is? I cant seem to find it
[16:41] <lesshaste> goltoof_: the one in the picture! :)
[16:41] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   link me the picture again pls
[16:41] <sipior> progre55: after ctrl-z, try typing "bg"

[16:42] <raubvogel> How to find out which packages a give package depends on?
[16:42] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   fine in firefox and chrome
[16:42] <jpds> raubvogel: apt-cache rdepends <package>
[16:42] <lesshaste> goltoof_: right.. so there is a problem on my system
[16:42] <xkram999> which should i use, chrome or chromium?
[16:43] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   why did you upgrade to lucid?
[16:43] <Loneclock> is it possible to create a mario that runs around on my desktop and i can control with wasd and spacebar....when he jumps to hit icons with his head they open up
[16:43] <lari> chromium
[16:43] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   typically i find fresh install a lot less buggy
[16:43] <raubvogel> jpds, thanks
[16:43] <lesshaste> goltoof_: I did a fresh install but kept /home
[16:43] <ysk> i am in ubuntu tweak and in ppa purge there are couple of ppa sources listed
[16:43] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   some have no issues upgrading, me both times didn't turn out great
[16:43] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   your chrome settings would be kept in /home
[16:44] <goltoof_> goltoof_:   sudoa apt-get remove --purge chrome   then reinstall
[16:44] <lesshaste> goltoof_: is that for firefox?
[16:44] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   oh my bad, forgot ur in ff
[16:44] <Galindar> Loneclock: cool idea, no clue though..sorry.
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> ysk:  proberly every one you added.. is listed..
[16:44] <Okashi> Dr_Wallis, goltoof Thanx for the suggestions, I appreciate all the time and effort you put to trying to help me.  XD I think I'm going to give in and just reinstall.
[16:45] <lari> but there is a fork of chrome for linux called chromium, right? why would i use chrome?
[16:45] <goltoof_> lesshaste:  sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox,   i think
[16:45]  * Okashi is SOOO Tired
[16:45] <lesshaste> hmmm :)
[16:45] <goltoof_> !nap
[16:45] <Okashi> can't... it's 9am
[16:45] <sushiyant> disable "search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP" in vi?
[16:46] <ysk> how could i find compiz
[16:46] <ysk> or do i have to clean everyone
[16:46] <Okashi> have a good day everyone... I'm off to IV some caffeine
[16:46] <lari> when i unplug my laptop i get critical battery message and system goes to hibernation, how  to solve it?
[16:46] <goltoof_> Okashi:   walk it off.. it helps
[16:46] <jink> sushiyant: :set nowrapscan
[16:47] <goltoof_> lari,    same issue here, good luck with that
[16:47] <karthick87> Cant able to change my password.What ever password i set.Its saying password too simple..Any suggestions..?
[16:47] <jmgalloway> anyone here good with ssh?
[16:47] <roger_padactor> hello, I installed ubuntu on my computer, i have windows 7 on it too. how do I remove ubuntu and get that part of the drive back. Ill be putting it on another HD. or using it in virtual box.
[16:47] <lari> goltoof_: what laptop do you have? did u have any clue allready to solve the problem?
[16:47] <jmgalloway> I have an ssh problem
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> karthick87:  pick a better password? or have the root user set it.. 'sudo passwd username' to set to whatever you like.
[16:47] <goltoof_> lesshaste:    while you're a it check your validation errors
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[16:48] <goltoof_> lesshaste:  http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=winterbournearms.tablesir.com&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en
[16:48] <karthick87> Dr_Willis: oke thankyou
[16:48] <lari> goltoof_: i used a link somebody gave me tu unable hibernation, is a good workaround so it will show the message but it will not go to hibernation, try it while you solve the problem
[16:48] <jmgalloway> I'm getting a Received disconnect from box: 2: Too many authentication failures for clcuser
[16:48] <goltoof_> lari:    hp mini netbook. no i don't.  it has a slightly faulty power cable, but i don't think that's the reason
[16:49] <goltoof_> lesshaste:   assuming it's you're site, there are errors in nav li
[16:49] <jmgalloway> I am not able to ssh into the box, I've uninstalled and reinstalled ssh
[16:49] <lesshaste> goltoof_: it is definitely not my site
[16:49] <lari> goltoof_: my powercable is ok but i still get the error, the strange think is that the bad meassure of the battery just happens in the second i unplug, two seconds later battery measures correctly
[16:49] <lesshaste> goltoof_: it's also not the only web page to show this problem for me
[16:50] <goltoof_> oic
[16:50] <jmgalloway> has anyone seen this error before?
[16:50] <goltoof_> lari:   same thing here, the big problem is the laptop hibernates when critically low, so it hibernates as soon as i unplug..  haven't found out how to disable this
[16:51] <jmgalloway> I have a cloud running, and now I cant ssh into two of the boxes
[16:51] <jmgalloway> they give the same error
[16:51] <ysk> i have removed
[16:51] <ysk> all compiz things from package manager
[16:51] <tommylommy2> oh
[16:51] <ysk> now how could i get 0.8 compiz
[16:51] <ysk> for installation
[16:51] <tommylommy2> Are the differences between Netbook and graphical edition graphical only?
[16:52] <tommylommy2> No efficiency changes in the OS?
[16:52] <lari> goltoof_: i forgot wich file to modify but it is just change a "yes" for a "no", ask here if somebody can help you disable hibernation

[16:53] <alienmindtrick> can anyone recommend a good blu-ray player/web media device?
[16:53] <andre__> et
[16:53] <alienmindtrick> i realize it's a bit off topic, but i know there are good resources here
[16:53] <goltoof_> alienmindtrick:   ps3
[16:53] <techouse> alienmindtrick: build your own htpc
[16:54] <alienmindtrick> so those options would be better than, say, an LG blu-ray disc player with streaming web?
[16:54] <DerfFlow> !html
[16:54] <Plimmer> q: I just formatted a drive with ext3, now I can only copy with 3MB/s to it. Anyone got any idear whats happening?
[16:55] <tripps> my volume icon disappeared in the notification area. how do I get it back? running 10.04
[16:55] <goltoof_> alienmindtrick:   a ps3 would be more practical, since it does all that just about everything else,  imho
[16:55] <alienmindtrick> that's a great idea, goltoof...thank you
[16:55] <aeon-ltd> tripps: right click, add to panel
[16:55] <aeon-ltd> ?
[16:55] <goltoof_> alienmindtrick:   and cheaper than most other BR devices out there
[16:55] <techouse> tripps: remount it in the console
[16:56] <techouse> find the dev with fdisk -l
[16:56] <alienmindtrick> i found an LG for $80 and free shipping on amazon
[16:56] <tripps> techouse, explain
[16:56] <alienmindtrick> i just don't know if it's going to allow much on the web
[16:56] <ysk> how do i install compiz 0.8
[16:56] <goltoof_> alienmindtrick:  ps3, well worth the extra $100
[16:56] <tripps> aeon-ltd, tried that. no choice for volume control
[16:56] <alienmindtrick> sounds like a plan, goltoof
[16:57] <alienmindtrick> thank you
[16:57] <aeon-ltd> ysk: get the source and compile it, i would highly not reccommend down grading though
[16:57] <goltoof_> if only they didn't remove linux support  :/
[16:57] <ysk> i dont know how to do it brpo
[16:57] <lari> many times, when i unplug my notebook i get critical battery charge and system goes to hibernation. any help?
[16:57] <techouse> tripps: fire up a root console and issue fdisk -l
[16:57] <techouse> there you'll find the appropriate device name of your disk
[16:58] <tripps> techouse, i think you've got the wrong question. :) I'm missing my volume control
[16:58] <techouse> then just mount it in the console
[16:58] <techouse> ah :D
[16:58] <aeon-ltd> ysk: did you get my msg?
[16:58] <techouse> that volume :D
[16:58] <ysk> yes i did
[16:58] <ysk> but i cant get u
[16:58] <techouse> tripps: does alsamixer still work?
[16:59] <techouse> tripps: what gui? gnome/kde/unity?
[16:59] <tripps> techouse, yes. everything works fine. can use hotkeys on keyboard to adjust volume, etc. I just want the little speaker icon back where it was. running gnome
[17:00] <lari> tripps: have you tried right clicking panel and adding the indicator applet?
[17:01] <techouse> can't recall how it's done in gnome, but i think you can simply right click the gnome panel and add the indicator icon etc
[17:01] <techouse> you could also try restarting the gnome panel
[17:01] <Okitain> Hello guys.

[17:06] <rick198> Hey guys, I have a really strange problem.  I install Ubuntu 10.10 (with one monitor), then install virtualbox and some virtual machines.  Used it for a couple of weeks and got a new monitor.  Installed the monitor, then configured it using nvidia-settings, rebooted and got nice dual screen.. when I goto start virtualbox be it from the menu (gnome) or from a terminal inside gnome, it causes me to logout.  I see an nvidia s

[17:16] <num> it seems that your battery is broken
[17:17] <goltoof_> lari:  i noticed a few bugs out there involving critically low battery indicator but nothing precisely describing our issue

[17:20] <lari> actually, it says the many minutes as hours of battery that it has, thats a very curios tip (if 2hours, 2 minutes, if 4 hours, 4 minutes)

[17:21] <tripps_> sipior, yes
[17:21] <bluefrog> Okitain, ctrl shift numlock
[17:21] <martin_> hi anyone, does anyone have any ideas what's causing my weird problem? Is it a setting somewhere? thanks
[17:21] <Okitain> Thank you bluefrog!
[17:21] <bastidrazor> MFen: right click the sound applet > sound preferences > Input .. do you have the option to choose which input device?
[17:21] <bluefrog> Okitain, you're talking about the keypad for mouse right?
[17:21] <jbwiv__> guys, what sound system does Ubuntu 10.10 use? I have programs that are actively pushing out working sound, yet I see no pulseaudio daemon running....
[17:21] <sipior> tripps_: the first paragraph? "but only active tasks (tasks with non-zero statistics values) will appear in the report"
[17:21] <nickbouwhuis> Hey there
[17:22] <Okitain> Really, somehow it triggers on me and it is annoying to go to menu to turn it off.
[17:22] <MFen> bastidrazor: no, unfortunately i do not
[17:22] <tripps_> sipior, ah ok
[17:22] <Okitain> jbwiv__, it is PulseAudio.
[17:23] <lari> goltoof_: your are a lucky guy: http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/disable-suspend-and-hibernate-ubuntu/
[17:23] <bastidrazor> MFen: muting the internel would also mute the external
[17:23] <jbwiv__> Okitain, so if there's no daemon running, how are these apps still making sounds?
[17:23] <bastidrazor> MFen:   ?
[17:23] <Okitain> jbwiv__, try running it in the console manually.
[17:23] <MFen> bastidrazor: correct
[17:23] <goltoof_> lari:   coolio
[17:23] <shades> who hollard my name
[17:23] <Okitain> jbwiv__, like I do know
[17:23] <ysk> how do i install extra plugins the compiz 0.9 comes up with limited plugins not too many effects like i didnt get paint on fire andire and animation plusirea
[17:23] <tripps_> sipior, cool. thanks! that's exactly what I was looking for. Any other cool apps in the sysstat suite?
[17:24] <jbwiv__> Okitain, yeah, that works. I can then control volume, etc. I'm just surprised that the apps were still able to play sounds without the daemon running
[17:24] <jbwiv__> what is pulseaudio's equivalent of /dev/dsp, if there is one?
[17:24] <Okitain> jbwiv__, we still have alsa!
[17:24] <sipior> tripps_: sure, all the ones listed in the "See Also" section are pretty handy (i.e., sar, vmstat, iostat &cet)
[17:24] <Okitain> jbwiv__, none.
[17:24] <jbwiv__> Okitain, so they fall back to alsa if pulse isn't running?
[17:25] <Okitain> jbwiv__, sure.
[17:25] <jbwiv__> Okitain, I used to be able to capture sounds to file through /dev/dsp. can't do that anymore?
[17:25] <Okitain> jbwiv__, everything runs through alsa>pulse transport mostly.
[17:26] <Efthymios> Anyone know of a program to open microsoft project files (.mpp) on ubuntu? I can't seem to find one.
[17:26] <jbwiv__> Okitain, ok, thanks. I'll dig into their docs
[17:26] <Okitain> jbwiv__, there is a possible solution: use PA "Monitor of..." to do it.
[17:27] <Okitain> Efthymios, there is absolutely no need for that for developers.
[17:27] <Okitain> It just does not exist.
[17:27] <martin_> hi anyone, does anyone have any ideas what's causing my weird problem? Is it a setting somewhere? thanks
[17:27] <goltoof_> !anyone | martin_
[17:28] <Efthymios> Okitain, alright, guess im SOL on this classwork then. Thanks.
[17:28] <Okitain> Efthymios, run in WINE.
[17:28] <Okitain> VirtualBox.
[17:28] <fachrat> Hi, we installed Ubuntu 8.04 and upgraded directly to 10.04 without reading   http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Upgrade_Hardy_auf_Lucid
[17:28] <Okitain> And?
[17:29] <goltoof_> fachrat: 8.04 is not supported anymore..  latest version is maverick
[17:29] <fachrat> now we get kernel panic:not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[17:29] <martin_> I already have, but ok. When I go to Places, and open any of the folders contained therein, instead of opening the folder, a media player opens and plays any media files in said folder. Which is odd. My question is: How is this turned back to normal? thanks
[17:29] <goltoof_> fachrat:   you need to upgrade
[17:29] <max> hi
[17:29] <fachrat> goltoof_, 10.04 is installed...

, download with DownloadHelper.
[17:30] <Okitain> Eft, yes.
[17:30] <Okitain> Convert with PiTiVi
[17:31] <lari> martin_: try open your file browser, go to your home folder, right click a folder wich shows your problem, select open with another application, chose your file browser and check the option to always open with that application. maybe.....
[17:31] <Guest74695> Okitain, looking and working please stay... :)
[17:32] <martin_> Thanks you lari, that has worked. That setting must have been the one that changed somehow. Thank you.

[17:34] <lari> joesomebody: try gparted, owesome tool for editing partitions
[17:35] <mrcreativity> will gparted mess up the boot loader if i change the paritition sizes on a machine witt windows 7 and ubuntu?
[17:35] <JoeSomebody> i need to copy 3 ubuntu and 1 ntfs from a 1 tb drive to a 1.5 tb drive resizimg only rthe ntfs

[17:36] <ozzloy> anyone in here have bluetooth headphones with multipoint (connect to more than 1 device at the same time)?
[17:37] <mrcreativity> man, i had such a hell of a time enabling effects in kubuntu
[17:37] <lari> mrcreativity: if you installed ubuntu second, you should have grub installed to but both ubuntu and windows, it will continue working after using gparted

[17:38] <mrcreativity> so...what ur saying is if my dual boot setup works properly before gparted, there is no reason it shouldnt after gparted?

[17:42] <lari> how to troubleshoot wrong battery charge measurement?
[17:42] <petan> problem is that user can't start x server with proprietary
[17:43] <sysop1> make two smaller encrypted partitions then use a software raid 0 to make it into one big drive
[17:43] <Yam_> o petan
[17:43] <Yam_> ok
[17:43] <chombee> Hey, anyone used Ubuntu Netbook Edition on a full-size laptop? My friend asked me to sort out his old laptop. It's a big laptop, but not much RAM. I was wondering if Netbook might be nicer than XUbuntu
[17:44] <krakaboo> i have
[17:44] <krakaboo> on the netbook on laptop
[17:44] <lari> chombee i think it just change a little big graphically, nut much performance improvement
[17:44] <chombee> krakaboo: How did it work?
[17:44] <sysop1> honestly I used kubuntu 9.10 on my eee pc with no problems. just turn off all the extra windowing enhancements
[17:45] <krakaboo> it worked fine on my nc8430
[17:45] <krakaboo> i didnt like the layout or the lack of wrokspaces so i came back to 10.04
[17:45] <chombee> sysop1: Yeah, an option would be for me to install standard Ubuntu for him and krank down the graphics settings and background processes
[17:45] <krakaboo> im just trying to get my graphics card to work properly
[17:46] <lari> krakaboo, did you check ubotu link to install your propietary drivers?
[17:46] <krakaboo> yea im right in the middle of the process
[17:46] <chombee> lari: Yeah, I see the min rqmnts for netbook are still 512MB ram. XUbuntu is 192MB
[17:47] <aukusti> hei:)
[17:47] <sysop1> chombee, I didnt have to turn anything off other than compsiting and extra windoing effects.
[17:47] <modulexploited> how can we backup the list of all the installed packages on my Ubuntu machine ? so that I can install the same set on a new machine ?
[17:47] <sysop1> although I made sure when I installed it not to install mysql and apache and such.
[17:47] <Yam_> Everytime I install fglrx the machine does not load
[17:47] <Yam_> why?
[17:47] <d-fens_> hi, how can i get openvpn to autostart ?
[17:47] <d-fens_> 10.04 server
[17:48] <Yam_> I have a ati card
[17:48] <chombee> sysop1: But how much ram did you have? I think he might have something like 190MB
[17:48] <sysop1> crap.
[17:48] <krakaboo> lari?
[17:48] <jrib> !clone | modulexploited
[17:48] <lari> chombee, any version you can later change, i installed netbook edition then added gnome because i didnt like it and now i have common ubuntu
[17:48] <sysop1> that is too little ram. I have a 1 gig eee pc. sorry.
[17:49] <Monotoko> the common ubuntu is now on the netbook remix by default
[17:49] <lari> krakaboo ?
[17:49] <sysop1> there is always svgalib.
[17:49] <Monotoko> just select it when logging in
[17:49] <chombee> I think XUbuntu 10.04 may be best then
[17:49] <aeon-ltd> chombee: lubuntu might cut a few MBs of ram
[17:49] <sysop1> I installed ubuntu server 10.10 on a 900 mhx desktop recently and put gnome on it with kdm.
[17:49] <lari> chombee thats a good start, you can add different interfaces after install
[17:49] <krakaboo> sorry but when i got to the hardware drivers it only shows my software modem and nothin else
[17:49] <aukusti> be bye
[17:50] <aukusti> hups
[17:50] <sysop1> and it ran great as a firewall, although browsing the web was a little painfull.
[17:50] <aukusti> Bye bye
[17:51] <sysop1> it would take a couple of minutes to start firefox.
[17:51] <petan> Yam_ wait
[17:51] <chombee> aeon-ltd: True. I think I'll stick with XUbuntu just cause it's been around for longer and is listed in the official derivatives on Ubuntu.com, so it seems like a safe bet. (Although I don't think it loks very good, to be honest)
[17:52] <lari> sysop1: have you tried chromium, it runs much faster than firefox in my case and fully functional
[17:52] <sysop1> not on that box, it was really just a firewall. the only reason I put gnome on it was to run xwindows based network montioring stuff.
[17:53] <sysop1> etherape.
[17:53] <sysop1> alhtough I do need to try it on my desktop at home.
[17:53] <aeon-ltd> chombee: ok, your system, your choice :) the most important thing is that you're happy or at least satisfied
[17:53] <chombee> Hah! According to Wikipedia (quoting Linux Magazine and Softpedia) Xubuntu actually uses more RAM than Ubuntu
[17:54] <aeon-ltd> chombee: lol
[17:55] <relipse> umm every time i upgrade my ubuntu, a specific program seems to always run (how do i stop it from running?)
[17:55] <relipse> it pops up with "Do you want to install openra packages?"
[17:55] <JoeSomebody> sorry i was answering the door, is clonezilla easy ? burn / boot the iso, then - is it a gui or terminal?
[17:55] <relipse> every single time, bar none
[17:55] <chombee> You know what, I think I will just install standard Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome and do what I can to slim it down for him. If necessary I can even set up Openbox for him
[17:56] <lari> chombee: try slitaz :)
[17:57] <sysop1> hey why not get him to get a $25 512 meg chip for it.
[17:57] <lari> sysop1: lol, much better xd
[17:57] <sysop1> it would help the box out alot.
[17:57] <chombee> sysop1: Yeah, I may take a peek and see if it has space for one, probably the single biggest fabour I could do him
[17:57] <need-some-help> a question: i have a srt file which is written in Croatian. now all the letters with an acute or an caron look like squares with signs in it? how can i solve this?
[17:58] <mbeierl> relipse: perhaps you have opera installed and its repo added to your system?
[17:58] <sysop1> yea, I took this emac with 196 meg or something to 1 gig and it was like night and day.
[17:58] <lari> sysop1, chombee, by the way, i tried to buy ddr-400 i could not buy 512mb cheaper than 50$... to old?
[17:58] <sysop1> maybe its been almost a year since I bout ram.
[17:58] <lari> i can buy 4gb last ddr memory for that price xd
[17:59] <relipse> mbeierl,  yes how do i get rid of it asking me
[17:59] <lari> brb
[18:00] <chombee> LUbuntu looks like itm ight be a good option actually. It seems to be new and not yet official, but there are good reviews
[18:02] <mattalexx> How do I remove the mail icon from the notificatino area?
[18:02] <s093294> Hello, i just set up iptables to reroute incoming trafic on port X to internal ip. It works for the eth1 interfaces global ip, but not the ppp0 interface(pptp ip). I can see that packages are recieved on the tcpdump of the ppp0 interface. Any ideas?

[18:03] <Lagos> Hi everyone
[18:03] <wendico> my system hibernates when unplugged telling me battery is on critical charge wich is wrong, what to do?
[18:03] <g-hennux> hi!
[18:03] <Lagos> does anybody know how to make beagle index my system
[18:04] <Lagos> it stops indexing right after I start the daemon
[18:04] <g-hennux> i have a proprietary print program here that expects me to give a path to the USB printer, default /dev/usb/lp0. however, this file does not exist, what can i do?
[18:04] <g-hennux> this is a minimal debootstrapped chroot, so probably not a lot of usb printer thingys installed
[18:05] <g-hennux> however, dmesg lists a new usb driver recognized by the usblp module
[18:05] <g-hennux> -driver +printer
[18:06] <dotero> hi
[18:06] <goltoof_> how do i keep mplayer from trying to opene every single file in my /home dir every time i start it?  i've already tried reisntalling it
[18:06] <krakaboo> if i use an earlier ubuntu distro will i be able to get the full functionality from my graphics card?
[18:07] <calaen0> g-hennux, try printing to the usblp printer and if it works, set up a symlink for /dev/usb/lp0
[18:07] <wendico> krakaboo: most probably yes
[18:07] <mattalexx> How do I remove the mail icon from the notificatino area?
[18:07] <goltoof_> mattalexx:   right click > remove from panel
[18:07] <krakaboo> do you mind if i message you wendico
[18:08] <goltoof_> krakaboo:   only one way to find out
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> mattalexx: http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/remove-mail-icon-leave-volume-control
[18:08] <krakaboo> lol
[18:08] <g-hennux> calaen0: in the "host" machine, there is /dev/usb/lp0, do i need to take that with me to the chroot somehow?
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> removeing from panel will remove the whold indicator area....
[18:08] <goltoof_> Dr_Willis:   yeah, just noticed   haha
[18:08] <mattalexx> goltoof_, But it's part of the "Indicator Applet", so everything else on that applet would disappear too if I did that.
[18:08] <need-some-help> a question: i have a srt file which is written in Croatian. now all the letters with an acute or an caron look like squares with signs in it? how can i solve this?
[18:09] <nev> new to ubuntu , trying to install getnet wireless usb adptr, got drivers in rar file, unpacked and now have folder called linux driver containing multiple files, where do i go from here?
[18:09] <goltoof_> how do i keep mplayer from trying to opene every single file in my /home dir every time i start it?  i've already tried reisntalling it
[18:09] <thomasd> hello is anyone online?
[18:09] <calaen0> g-hennux, of course, with the chroot, you have to bind mount sys proc and dev
[18:09] <goltoof_> it's like it adds everything to the playlist
[18:10] <g-hennux> calaen0: ok, thanks
[18:10] <goltoof_> and i have to click through hundreds of invalid file messages
[18:10] <calaen0> g-hennus, exit out of the chroot, then do a "mount --bind /dev/ <location>/<of>/<chroot>/dev"
[18:10] <calaen0> g-hennux, likewise for proc and sys
[18:10] <KipMacy> ive always wondered why this page is stuck on Ubuntu 9.10: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt
[18:10] <calaen0> g-hennux, then chroot again and you should have it from there
[18:11] <mattalexx> Dr_Willis, Thanks!

[18:11] <thomasd> I's it Possible to get firefox to run shockwave emulated through wine
[18:11] <need-some-help> i have a srt file which is written in Croatian. now all the letters with an acute or an caron look like squares with signs in it? how can i solve this? thanks
[18:11] <calaen0> need-some-help, set the language for the app to utf-8
[18:12] <need-some-help> it is but still the symbols remain
[18:12] <calaen0> need-some-help if not UTF-8, then whatever encoding the file was written with.
[18:12] <need-some-help> kk
[18:12] <need-some-help> thanks
[18:12] <calaen0> need-some-help, my guess is, the file was created using a different app, so figure out what the lang setting there was
[18:13] <g-hennux> calaen0: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/32-bit_chroot does not list /sys; is this also necessary/useful for 32-bit-chroots?
[18:13] <calaen0> g-hennux, yes.
[18:13] <thomasd> Is it Possible to get firefox to run shockwave emulated through wine
[18:14] <calaen0> g-hennux, it is essential for devices and such.
[18:14] <SeanPJ> thomasd prolly.
[18:14] <richardd> hi
[18:14] <SeanPJ> just download it from the firefox using wine, and the download page should detect your operating system as windows
[18:14] <wendico> laptop goes into hibernation when unpluging becasue of wrong measurement of the battery charge, any help?
[18:15] <calaen0> thomasd have you been to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave yet?
[18:15] <g-hennux> calaen0: done, now it says "unable to read printer status"
[18:15] <richardd> Oie
[18:15] <calaen0> thomasd, that page has directions to do what you want
[18:15] <calaen0> g-hennux, sorry, I hate printers, and would have no clue what's up with that.
[18:16] <thomasd> Calaen0 I googled it but i dident find that page that's exactly what i wanted thank you
[18:16] <imgx64> I have a question about setuid. Why does this: "echo -e '#!/bin/sh\ntouch test' >script && sudo chown root:root script && sudo chmod +xs script && ls -l script && ./script && ls -l test" say that the owner of file "test" is "imgx64" and not "root"?
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> imgx64:  I dont think you can 'setuid' a script.
[18:17] <Lagos> Anyone ever had issues with beagle not indexing?
[18:20] <wendico> my system hibernates when unplugged telling me battery is on critical charge wich is wrong, what to do?
[18:20] <imgx64> Dr_Willis: That's disappointing. How can I make a command run as root by double-clicking it without entering the password?
[18:20] <proq> is there a way to sync music and apps on an iphone on ubuntu 10.04?
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> imgx64:  a command is one thing.. a script is another...
[18:21] <palam> to install passenger, what should i enter for the --prefix option?
[18:21] <dextro_> anyone know how to get to tty7 in putty?
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> dextro_:  that dosent make a lot of sence. you mean console #7 - you want to access it when you ssh in?
[18:22] <imgx64> Dr_Willis: I know. I created a script with a single command (instead of touch in my example) because I needed to run it as root without entering a password.
[18:22] <yaaar> imgx64: you could make a one-liner script that says "sudo otherscript" and then edit /etc/sudoers to let your user run sudo without a password
[18:22] <ikonia> dextro_: ssh to it
[18:23] <ikonia> dextro_: ahh sorry, miss-read, you' can't, putty is an ssh client that will assign a tty on connection
[18:23] <imgx64> yaaar: Isn't that a huge security risk? I just need that for a single command.
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> imgx64:  add your single command to the sudoers stuff then.
[18:23] <sipior> imgx64: funny that you should ask about security risks when you were trying to set the suid bit on a shell script...
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> sipior:  i was thinking that also. :)
[18:24] <yaaar> imgx64: pretty sure you can setup sudoers to require password for all other commands and no password for the one you need
[18:24] <jhl> What's the best work around the mod_wsgi python3 dependency bug?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mod-wsgi/+bug/672901
[18:24] <ikonia> yaaar: you can, just need command groups
[18:24] <dextro_> chvt 7
[18:24] <dextro_> ;)
[18:24] <imgx64> Hmm.. Okay. Thanks everyone. I'll look into that.
[18:25] <blackplague1347> Can someone help me run The Sims 3 with PlayOnLinux?
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> blackplague1347:  what does the wine app database say about the game?
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> !appdb
[18:25] <jedix> hey, Skype is causing a hard lockup on my system.. I have an ecryptfs home directory.  Anyone ever hear of this?
[18:27] <blackplague1347> It has a platinum rating and, apparently, works quite well.
[18:27] <wendico> my system hibernates when unplugged telling me battery is on critical charge wich is wrong, what to do?
[18:28] <aeon-ltd> wendico: well is the batery actually ok?
[18:28] <WACOMalt> I am new to shell scripts, but I have one that is somewhat working. Anyone willing to help me work out the kinks? IT opens a program in the terminal, keeps the terminal open, and then runs a second command top resize the program it launched. However only the first part works :/ http://pastebin.com/Jqf3kSbF
[18:29] <wendico> aeon-ltd: perfect state, and after a few seconds, if i disable hibernation, battery charge is measured correctly
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> WACOMalt:  perhaps ypu need to run the first command with a & at the end.
[18:29] <WACOMalt> what does that do?
[18:30] <WACOMalt> before or after the ; ?
[18:30] <aeon-ltd> wendico: just rebort as a acpi bug, or whatever you use to handle hibernation (or maybe even just report it as a ubuntu bug in general)
[18:30] <goltoof_> what's the file for changing the ssh welcome message?
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> WACOMalt:  im not even sure why you have ; in there....
[18:30] <WACOMalt> ah :P
[18:30] <WACOMalt> habit from my MEL coding days
[18:30] <malgorath> I am running 10.04, should/can I update to 10.10?
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> WACOMalt:  runs stuff to the background.. other wise the 2nd line wont work untill the furst one is done..
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> WACOMalt:  see bash job controll for mor einfo
[18:31] <goltoof_> nvm found it
[18:31] <wendico> aeon-ltd: ok, i will report it, if being all day online trying to solve and i just worked around disabling hibernation
[18:31] <modulexploited> !automate
[18:31] <BluesKaj> malgorath, that's up to you , maverick seems quiye stable now , unless you run an intel graphics card
[18:32] <modulexploited> !automate | modulexploited
[18:32] <malgorath> BluesKaj, is there any benefit from 10.04 -> 10.10?
[18:33] <BluesKaj> malgorath, apart from having the latest ubuntu , it's dificult to say
[18:34] <malgorath> BluesKaj, I'll stay with what I got now, its a server so I don't wanna run the chance it borks it up
[18:35] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:35] <mbeierl> relipse: remove the opera repository from your system.  It is listed somewhere under /etc/apt/.  Type "grep -ri opera /etc/apt/" and see which file is referencing it and remove it from there
[18:35] <BluesKaj> malgorath, yup, being a server I would just leave it alone
[18:38] <wendico> sometimes, (specially when plugin or unpluging usb hardwares) my wifi network card stops working, any help?

[19:14] <zenger> clear
[19:14] <needhelp1> majdekalel_, it appears matlab has a linux version, http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/requirements.html
[19:15] <needhelp1> i was mistaken, the application i had to use for my math class was minitab .. which there is no linux support or alterntive that i know of
[19:15] <tehnef> zenger: That's complicated. If it were me and I absolutely wanted to edit using gedit, I would alt-f2 and "gksudo gedit"
[19:15] <needhelp1> tehbaut, cant you just terminal gedit filename
[19:16] <zenger> tehnef: What can you suggest me? can i get my color scheme into the gedit for that instance of gedit?
[19:16] <tehnef> zenger: Browsing the fs with a root-spawned nautilus window, however, is not really a long-term solution. Personally, I would do all my fs stuff with the terminal.
[19:16] <needhelp1> how can i edit an ISO image, im trying to use ISOMaster but it just freezes when it trys to load the iso
[19:16] <zenger> tehnef: can you suggest me a better editor?
[19:16] <tehnef> zenger: You should be able to, it's running as root so it should see everything.
[19:17] <zenger> tehnef: it gives an error when i import my color scheme =(

[19:18] <zenger> tehnef: this "nano" has a right click integrated "open with nano" row??
[19:18] <zenger> just like gedit

[19:18] <tehnef> zenger: nano is a command-line text editor, but not one with a high learning curve
[19:19] <flying_penguin> anyone know where .ko (kernel module) file need to go in ubuntu so I can load them at boot with /etc/modules or rc.local?
[19:19] <tehnef> zenger: You shouldn't need to have a root-enabled text editor open for long edits. Just configuration changes and such. Anything else, such as long pages of code, etc, should be just fine creating/editing from userland.

[19:35] <st__> Zenger, Edit/Redo?
[19:36] <karthick87> There are some posts with nice software Center icons and links to software installation via apt. How to do that?
[19:36] <Zenger> There is undo and there is a forward button . Remember CTRL + Y in word
[19:37] <Zenger> CTRL + Z is undo right ? CTRL + Y is redo ??
[19:37] <iRabbit> How would one increase the virtual drive space allocated in Wine
[19:37] <st__> yes
[19:37] <jymere> Have you ever re-complie your kernel ? I want to know if it's really worth making it.
[19:37] <Zenger> st__: Whell the CTRL + Y or the redo button doesn't work in gedit, or maybe is remapped in another way ..
[19:38] <Dcite> iRabbit: I don't think wine has space limits.
[19:38] <silicone> hello
[19:38] <st__> Zenger, bugs.gnome.org?product=gedit
[19:38] <connermcd> Zenger Shift+Ctrl+Z
[19:38] <silicone> i'm for the first time here )
[19:38] <jymere> For instance thanks to that do my system start faster ?
[19:38] <Dcite> iRabbit: wine creates it's 'virtual' drive in ~/.wine/drive_c
[19:38] <tehnef> jymere: Is everything working? Not worth it unless you're just looking to learn and willing to break your system, hard.
[19:38] <yubahaq> hi
[19:38] <silicone> anybodu here wrking with back track?
[19:38] <iRabbit> Dcite: it says I have 115GB free... the HDD Ubuntu is on has over 800GB avialable
[19:38] <yubahaq> Welcome
[19:38] <st__> iRabbit, use 'settings' panel to assign drive lettrs as you desire
[19:39] <yubahaq> I have a probleme with my network
[19:39] <Zenger> connermcd: thats awfull can i remap it ?
[19:39] <Zenger> silicone: Moldova?
[19:39] <silicone> how do you know?
[19:39] <Dcite> iRabbit: How much space in /home accroding to "df -h"  unlesss you only have a / ?
[19:39] <iRabbit> st__: thank you, will that allow me ot increase the space on the virtual drive?
[19:39] <silicone> :)
[19:39] <trism> Zenger: you can remap the accelerators to anything you want, with the gconf key /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels, then highlight an active menu item, and press a new key combination
[19:39] <yubahaq> I have a 3g modem ,,, is there  any prog to switch between 3G and gprs
[19:39] <Zenger> by your IP )~silicone@host-static-109-185-144-11.moldtelecom.md
[19:39] <iRabbit> Dcite: I'd have to reboot and look
[19:40] <Dcite> iRabbit: Why?
[19:40] <Dcite> iRabbit: Can't just open a terminal?
[19:40] <iRabbit> dcite: I'm on windows atm
[19:40] <silicone> i was thinking IRC is most secure chat :)
[19:40] <jymere> tehnef: I just want to try. In fact, I can wait an update of the kernel and keep the former in order to recompile the new kernel and if I do some mistakes i could use the older kernel's version ?
[19:40] <Dcite> iRabbit: Ah.. err that bites ^_^, but I didn't even know wine could check for free space ^_^
[19:40] <st__> jymere, you select kernel on boot
[19:40] <connermcd> Zenger perhaps there's a plugin that will allow remapping... I'm not sure. I would suggest learning vim (it will change your life)
[19:40] <jymere> yes
[19:40] <Yam_> where can you find a redulously basic ubuntu theme
[19:40] <Zenger> vim ? ... =(
[19:41] <Yam_> almost like the alternative cd installation type
[19:41] <z00m> how do i remove smtp service running on port 25
[19:41] <connermcd> Zenger gvim is a graphical version
[19:41] <Zenger> silicone: Your Ip doesn't make IRC less secure)
[19:41] <lock> Zenger: vi improved
[19:41] <st__> jymere, and if you compile the kernel it'll just stay on disk until you install it explicitly
[19:41] <dsknox> Hello all, first time here.. not sure if there is proper format to ask a question.
[19:41] <iRabbit> Dcite: I'll come back on later and see what I find.. I'm trying to copay and paste a game folder so it will run in Ubuntu
[19:41] <yubahaq> can u help Me pleez
[19:41] <iRabbit> *copy
[19:41] <erUSUL> z00m: uninstall the mta you installed.
[19:41] <z00m> ive tried apt-get remove sendmail, its not finding sendmail

[19:41] <erUSUL> !ask | dsknox
[19:41] <st__> iRabbit, don't copy, just map it to D:\ or something
[19:41] <silicone> are you all hackers here? :D lol
[19:41] <z00m> erUSUL, mta ?
[19:41] <Dcite> iRabbit: The beleive you should check how much free space you have with df -h, just because somewhete on your system there is a total of 800GB free doesn't mean it'll all be in /home for ubuntu
[19:41] <erUSUL> z00m: can be postfix or exim
[19:41] <erUSUL> !mta | z00m
[19:42] <yubahaq> Héééééééééééé
[19:42] <tehnef> jymere: Yeah, that should work. Just make sure to update-grub and ensure grub gives you enough time to choose a working kernel should yours be broken.
[19:42] <trism> !cloak | silicone
[19:42] <st__> !backtrack | silicone
[19:42] <Zenger> silicone: yo :D you were here for a problem :D post it ))
[19:42] <Zenger> silicone: and yeah you can use cloack)
[19:42] <daveorme> trism: Thanks; worked.  dunno how I got a partial install of texlive, but that was the problem.
[19:42] <z00m> thanks erUSUL
[19:42] <erUSUL> z00m: no problem
[19:42] <jymere> st_, tehnef : ok thanks ! @+

[19:45] <z00m> or eaim
[19:45] <z00m> or exim
[19:45] <connermcd> Zenger sounds good... I would probably start with geany (it's the easiest to learn)
[19:45] <silicone> zenger, want to share you skype name or ICQ id? :)
[19:45] <WACOMalt> Anyone  familliar with the details of the Extended Window Manager Specifications?, and how those may or may not be implemented correctly in metacity?

[19:54] <Casper__> Hi there, is it possible to get dual video cards working in Ubuntu 10.10?
[19:54] <ChansonLi> how to burn a UBUNTU Server to a USB Disk ?
[19:54] <WACOMalt> Ok, about to give up. I am writing a bash script that opens a window, That window is not opening fullscreen, which is fine, but it IS opening sized to the full screen, which is making it "snapped" to the sides. When I run the second part of my script, which resizes the window, it isnt able to resize for some reason,  Throught esting I pinpointed that this is because of it being snapped. If I move the window, then run the second part, the resize works f
[19:54] <coz_> Friar,   found this for one  not sure about it though   http://win7dl.com/download/Nikon%20camera%20control%20ubuntu.html
[19:54] <Friar> coz_, I'm not too sure...just reading about getting into astrophotography....some articles that I've read are suggesting that you can have better control over the focus and things of that nature.
[19:55] <Casper__> ChansonLi, try unetbootin (Google that).
[19:55] <pavlos> Hey guys, i have some issues with ubuntu studio, can anyone help me?

[19:55] <K350> Is there any Evolution channel on freenode?
[19:55] <Friar> coz_, that is what I found too, but they make you pay to get it.
[19:56] <coz_> Friar,  ooo ok hold on

[19:57] <nchand> heh I just saw goltoof_ join and leave when I did =)
[19:57] <Casper__> Anyone here that got dual video cards working? :\ (I got Intel HD + nVidia GT335m, but it can only use the Intel HD one)
[19:58] <coz_> Friar,  you can check into dgikam however that is for kde and installing it on ubuntu would pull in extra kde libraries w hich you might not want...let me check other applications
[19:59] <Casper__> No one? :<

[19:59] <Exterminans> Hi, i got a problem with wired networking after waking up from hibernate (Intel 82573L, e1000e kernel module). Neither restarting network-manager nor reloading the kernel module helps. Had to add "acpi_sleep=nonvs" to the grub config earlier to get hibernate working at all.
[19:59] <Exterminans> Wireless network still works fine
[20:00] <coz_> Friar,   look here   http://john-willis.com/2010/04/nikon-camera-control-pro-alternative/
[20:00] <Friar> coz_, thanks a bunch...I'll give it a look.
[20:00] <nchand> Casper__: in my old sparc/gentoo days for dual cars I remember having to do some heavy modifying in the xorg.conf. I assume you want them for dual heads and not SLI right?
[20:00] <coz_> Friar,    http://www.d-software.co.za/index.html
[20:00] <Friar> I found gPhoto2, but I don't think it is an actual applicaiton....
[20:00] <Casper__> Dual heads / SLI? (Sorry, I'm new into dual video cards :p)
[20:01] <Pici> Friar: Its a cli application.
[20:01] <coz_> Friar,  oops that may be for mac
[20:01] <RomanK> hi, any known problems with pidgin & icq?
[20:01] <Friar> coz_, i see that it is for a mac....
[20:01] <Casper__> nchand, Ive had to remodify xorg.conf to get my GUI to work again after install nVidia xD
[20:01] <nchand> Casper__: dual head would be a monitor connected to each video card. SLI is two cards working in tandem over 1 monitor
[20:01] <Exterminans> RomanK: Yes, ICQ banned the current version of pidgin
[20:01] <WACOMalt> Exterminans: really?
[20:01] <WACOMalt> wow
[20:01] <nchand> Casper__: SLI requires matching cards however
[20:01] <Okitain>  How can you bind bash to run a command when you type it in (E.g. typing "bar" would run /home/foo/bar.sh)?
[20:02] <WACOMalt> alias?
[20:02] <RomanK> Exterminans: i've read in the web, that aol now wants to be payed for each connection (http://www.golem.de/1011/79283.html, sorry, german)
[20:02] <K350> /c/c
[20:02] <Exterminans> WACOMalt: ICQ banned a lot of alternate clients in the last days
[20:02] <Casper__> nchand, mostly the fact that I want to use my nVidia card is main video card, but when I install nVidia drivers, I'm getting to the CLI, and when I run startx it says: Fatal server error: No screens found.
[20:02] <llutz> Okitain: ln -s ~/bar.sh ~/bin/bar
[20:02] <RomanK> is this true for pidgin, too?
[20:02] <erUSUL> Okitain: you can use an alias. or you can name bar.sh bar and put it sonewhere in your path
[20:03] <erUSUL> Okitain: as llutz ~/bin/ will be added to PATH if you create it ...
[20:03] <K350> goltoof_: Ah ok. well I'm just wondering if it's possible to change link colors in Evolution. They're blue now.
[20:03] <Casper__> nchand,  sometimes I have a 2nd monitor connected tho, but itś mainly my notebookscreen..
[20:03] <Okitain> Wait, so there is a working bin folder in my home?
[20:04]  * RomanK cannot connect to icq via googlemail, too
[20:04] <llutz> Okitain: you can create it
[20:04] <K350> nchand: thanks for the link:-)
[20:04] <nchand> Casper__: its because you havent tied a screen entry to that card entry
[20:04] <Casper__> nchand,  do explain? :X
[20:04] <ivo_> join
[20:04] <Okitain> And it will work like the /bin or /usr/bin, llutz?
[20:04] <Exterminans> RomanK: For now nothing except the official clients can connect
[20:04] <ivo_> #join
[20:04] <Exterminans> So ICQ is DEAD.
[20:05] <Okitain> YEAH BOI FINALLY!
[20:05] <llutz> Okitain: it will we added to your $PATH and act line other /bin/ dires
[20:05] <iRabbit> *GASP* ICQ died?
[20:05] <nchand> Casper__: did you try the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
[20:05] <ads> Hello
[20:05] <erUSUL> Okitain: it will work only for you. i.e. the command will only be aviable to you
[20:05] <Casper__> Nope, I'll try that one out now.
[20:05] <nchand> K350: did that work for you?
[20:05] <erUSUL> !bash | Okitain
[20:05] <llutz> Okitain: you should have something line "if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"" in your ~/.profile
[20:05] <RomanK> Exterminans: wow... they really did this step? i used icq now for >10 years, but that would really be the end of it
[20:06] <K350> nchand: well, unfortenately not...hm....
[20:06] <ads> I have a problem with my umts modem. Since 2 weeks the modem get's disconnected right after I got my ip address, with the following error: "modem-manager: mbm_e2nap_received, disconnected
[20:06] <Okitain> Okay, will do.
[20:06] <Okitain> And I know the terminal more or less.
[20:07] <devi> hey guys
[20:07] <devi> can anybody help me install my webcam?
[20:07] <Exterminans> RomanK: For now you can still try to disable SSL for ICQ so it will still work for now. But guess they will "fix" that too, soon
[20:07] <asus_> does anybody now how to trasmit sound from xubuntu apps (music, youtube and etc) to jabra ?
[20:07] <devi> its a revoltec and I run is gnome 2.30.2
[20:08] <devi> oops the system I run is gnome 2.30.2
[20:08] <RomanK> wow...
[20:08] <WACOMalt> aight. I'm out folks. Guess I'm giving up on resizing windows for now :/
[20:09] <nchand> Casper__: the cliff notes version is you have 2 "Device" sections, and 2 "Monitor" sections (if your using 2 monitors) then define their resolutions/etc.
[20:09] <nchand> Casper__: and which monitor uses which device
[20:09] <K350> nchand: or wait..this might fix it. THANKS!!!!:-)
[20:09] <Casper__> nchand, dual monitor works fine, but they both use the Intel HD graphics card...
[20:10] <willemb> Hi.  I just followed a howto for setting up a pxe server on my home network.  Not working - no filename received.  I did not manually set up dhcp.  Was hoping to use my netgear router's dhcp service.  WIll this be possible?
[20:10] <Casper__> nchand, isn't there a way to just disable the Intel HD graphics card, and use the nVidia one instead?
[20:10] <jetole> Hey guys. Does anyone know how I can place a apt hold on the kernel to avoid getting upgrade? When I do dpkg --get-selections I see that each kernel is a new package name (dpkg --get-selections | grep '^linux-image-')
[20:10] <savasci> hi all! I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 x86 on my Win7 x64 using Vmware workstation 7.1. It stuck in 90%(detecting hardware,please wait) about 20 minutes, and still there! is it normal?
[20:10] <jetole> savasci: why 8.04?
[20:11] <nchand> Casper__: yea, in your xorg.config you should have an entry for your nvidia card
[20:11] <Yam_> does cd\dvd creator keep freezing at the finalizing part???
[20:11] <savasci> educational purposes
[20:11] <Yam_> for anyone else experience this
[20:11] <grhck> savasci did you set the iso setting correct??
[20:11] <jetole> Yam_: install brasero
[20:11] <Yam_> it even does it there
[20:11] <savasci> what do you intend to say with "correct"?
[20:12] <Casper__> nchand, I only see 1 default device (the intel), I don't see anything for my nVidia.
[20:12] <devi> hey guys, can anybody give me advice? im trying to install my revoltec webcam under gnome 2.30.2
[20:12] <grhck> did you set the type of os you use??
[20:12] <nchand> Casper__: exactly, change your intel entry to nvidia =)
[20:12] <Yam_> jetole it does the same thing with bresero
[20:12] <Okitain> Hmm, my script still doesn't work.
[20:12] <jetole> Yam_: could be software or hardware but i think the easiest way to test it put a new cd/dvd+rw drive in
[20:12] <Okitain> Though the line was present.
[20:12] <nchand> Casper__: should all be covered in that xorg link for ubuntu I sent you
[20:12] <Casper__> nchand, and get stuck with a CLI at boot, no thanks :]
[20:12] <savasci> yes, of course, wait I'll check
[20:12] <Yam_> its a new dvd burner
[20:12] <Yam_> few years old
[20:12] <Yam_> at the least
[20:12] <willemb> Yam:  try writing a disk with wodim.  If that fails, chances are you have a hardware problem
[20:13] <nchand> Casper__: dont boot directly into a gui
[20:13] <lucid_guy> How does one check which physical volumes are asigned to which logical groups?
[20:13] <jetole> Yam_: I find it odd since it does it on both although could be a bug in a shared lib or maybe something peculiar about the model of drive you have that causes the kernel to shit bricks. I don't know but I would try a new drive first
[20:13] <Casper__> nchand, then how should I get it to work? :\
[20:13] <zazuge> lucid_guy: i'm sorry it's late but her it is "sudo lvdisplay -m /dev/mapper/vg-home"
[20:13] <jetole> Yam_: did it ever work?
[20:13] <Casper__> nchand, go to the CLI, and enter startx?
[20:13] <Yam_> I had never tried it
[20:13] <jetole> Yam_: I mean with this particular OS install
[20:13] <lucid_guy> zazuge: thanks .. checking
[20:13] <jetole> yeah, try a different one just to see
[20:13] <Yam_> Yes I have never tried it until now
[20:13] <Yam_> because I just installed ubuntu
[20:13] <jetole> if you have a spare or a friend you can borrow from
[20:13] <zazuge> lucid_guy: lvdisplay -m will display mapping to physical drives
[20:14] <savasci> grhck : yes it's selected as linux->ubuntu
[20:14] <lucid_guy> zazuge: you would think to do this with a vg command .. since the physical devices are attached to volume groups
[20:14] <willemb> Yam, try to burn an iso from the commandline using wodim.  If that fails, either your burner is broken, or it cannot write to your selected media
[20:14] <nchand> Casper__: sure, why not? If your having probs getting X running that way it should give you output to help you pinpoint what it doesn't like
[20:14] <grhck> did vmware recognised it or you set it manually??
[20:14] <jetole> Yam_: I forgot to say your name before my last messages so your IRC may not have highlighted it (sorry) so read up
[20:14] <schelcj> what is the proper way to disable a upstart job at boot
[20:15] <Yam_> ohh
[20:15] <Yam_> no I dont think they would have a spare
[20:15] <yagoo> anyone makes use of the debian submenu in gnome?
[20:15] <Casper__> nchand, when I change the entry to nvidia and I get to the CLI and enter startx, I get: Fatal server error: No screens found.
[20:15] <Yam_> but I can see the drive flashing
[20:15] <willemb> anyone:  can i use the dhcp server on my netgear router to issue ip addresses for my pxe environment?
[20:15] <Yam_> it looks like its still burnung yet its nit
[20:15] <Yam_> not
[20:15] <zazuge> lucid_guy: well i remmember that this was used to check if a particular logical volume was using a particular physical one in case of hardware fealure or replacement that's the use case anyway
[20:15] <nchand> Casper__: can I see your xorg.config? Lets take it to /message
[20:15] <jetole> Yam_: If you have a spare. Your friends don't need a spare. Say you're borrowing theirs for a couple hours
[20:15] <willemb> Casper:  do you still have an xorg.conf?
[20:16] <savasci> I set it when I created a team consisting an winXP x86,win7 x64, ubuntu 10.10 x86 and ubuntu 8.04 x86,
[20:16] <Casper__> Another question: I just downloaded VMware Workstation 7.1 from the VMware site, how do I install it? It's a .bundle file.
[20:16] <jetole> Yam_: you only need your friends drive to test
[20:16] <Casper__> willemb, yes I still have that :p
[20:16] <lucid_guy> zazuge: cool thanks,  I just never thought to man lvdisplay ..
[20:16] <Yam_> this drive worked on my windows box
[20:16] <Yam_> its on the same pc
[20:16] <jetole> Yam_: do me a favor and say my name before you type too. It's common IRC ettiquete since most IRC clients will highlight text with your name in it
[20:16] <Yam_> ok jetole
[20:16] <jetole> Yam_: yeah but windows may have a specific driver for it
[20:16] <erUSUL> !who
[20:16] <Yam_> :)
[20:17] <jetole> Yam_: the client I use has auto complete so I type the first few letters of your name and hit tab and it finishes it. See if your client has that as well
[20:17] <zazuge> lucid_guy: maybe i misunderstand your question if you just want to list all PV of one VG you need to do "sudo vgdisplay vg"
[20:17] <schelcj> anyone: what is the proper way to disable a upstart job at boot?
[20:17] <grhck> you use win 7 right?? when you chose to use the ubuntu iso after creating the vmware virtual pc it should recognise it alone!!
[20:17] <Yam_> no it does not do that here jetole
[20:17] <jetole> Yam_: for me, "ya<tab>" == "Yam_: "
[20:18] <lucid_guy> zazuge: nope, your original response was exactly what I was looking for.
[20:18] <Yam_> ahhh yes
[20:18] <jetole> yam well luckily mine doesn't care where my name is in the string
[20:18] <Yam_> jetojetole now it does it
[20:18] <jetole> Yam_: lol
[20:18] <Yam_> jetole: lol
[20:18] <jetole> Yam_: yeah most do
[20:18] <zazuge> lucid_guy: sorry i mispasted the line
[20:19] <jetole> Yam_: anyways, borrow a drive a test. 99% of drives use generic PATA or SATA drivers but the odd one out has issues
[20:19] <jetole> if another drive doesn't fix it then something in your OS maybe borked
[20:19] <karthick87> What is the easiest way to backup/restore a system?I am using ubuntu 10.04
[20:19] <jetole> @ Yam_
[20:19] <zazuge> lucid_guy: "sudo pvdisplay"
[20:19] <savasci> grhck: no it wasn't like that, i created the empty- generic machine for linux,ubuntu then i set the iso to mount on this machine using vm_settings
[20:19] <Yam_> jetole: I see
[20:19] <Machete> alguien es habla español?¡
[20:20] <jetole> Yam_: I just thing a drive is easier because you don't even know what could if anything is wrong with the OS. If a friends drive works then buy a new one
[20:20] <Machete> quiero hacer una pregunta estupida alguien que me conteste?
[20:20] <jetole> Yam_: *think
[20:20] <zazuge> lucid_guy: it shows all PV but every one has information on witch VG it belongs
[20:20] <erUSUL> !es | Machete
[20:20] <Megz> what file manager does Unity use?
[20:21] <erUSUL> Megz: nautilus
[20:21] <Yam_> ok jetole I will see what I can do
[20:21] <Machete> muchas gracias
[20:21] <jetole> Yam_: good luck
[20:21] <Yam_> thanks for notifying me jetole
[20:21] <Megz> erUSUL doesn't that clash... with the style of Unity
[20:21] <iRabbit> anyone familiar with aircrack-ng?
[20:21] <Firartix> Hey there! I just pressed a random screenshot and it opened a "Take screenshot" window. It's pretty cool. I want to know the hotkey :P. Could you help meh ?
[20:21] <lucid_guy> zazuge: good stuff ..    now IM trying to find the details of my /dev/sda5 ... which to my knowledge is supposed to be a iscsi volume...
[20:21] <st__> !hacking
[20:21] <jetole> Yam_: np
[20:21] <Firartix> a random key*
[20:21] <erUSUL> Megz: dunno; i do not use unity myself
[20:21] <zazuge> lucid_guy: well i'm not an LVM2 expert i just happened to be using it on my personal computer (i even did recover some data from a lost LVM VG)
[20:22] <erUSUL> Firartix: print scr
[20:22] <Firartix> oooo yea
[20:22] <zazuge> lucid_guy: what detail ?
[20:22] <Firartix> thanks
[20:22] <Okitain> Firatrix, the freakin print scr on the top right of the keybord.
[20:23] <lucid_guy> zazuge: anything .. from what I can see its a local physical disk, but I don't think thats the case.
[20:23] <zazuge> lucid_guy: for example "sudo pvdisplay /dev/sda10" will display info on a PV
[20:23] <iRabbit> aircrack-ng..... um... for personal use to test the security of my own network? not interested in "hacking"
[20:23] <zazuge> lucid_guy: in LVM there is 3 catgories of commands
[20:24] <lucid_guy> zazuge: Yes I can see that info .. but still doesnt indicate that its iscsi.
[20:24] <zazuge> lucid_guy: commands witch start with vg* are specific to Volume Groups
[20:24] <zazuge> lucid_guy: commands witch start with lv* are specific to Logical Groups
[20:24] <zazuge> lucid_guy: commands witch start with pv* are specific to Physical Volumes
[20:25] <zazuge> lucid_guy: i dunno about the hardware specific part but i think it has no relation to LVM
[20:26] <zazuge> lucid_guy: the LVM don't care about the hardware is uses the kernel dervice driver to run and access HD
[20:26] <lucid_guy> zazuge: thanks Im comfortable with all that ..  my lv/gv/pv questions stems from me trying to figure out where this iscis device is configured.
[20:26] <iRabbit> seriously, I can't ask a question about aircrack-ng for purposes of testing personal network security?
[20:26] <BFP> One of the book managing programs I use recently updated to use Qt 4.7, and ever since the look of it has changed in a way I don't like that evidently isn't intention. I tried to install qtconfig (on Maverick), but there seems to be something missing in the dependencies. Has anyone else had a problem with that?
[20:26] <zazuge> lucid_guy: well i didn't understand what you want to do
[20:26] <zazuge> lucid_guy: can you be more specific
[20:27] <lucid_guy> zazuge: do you know what iscsi is?
[20:27] <JoMs> Hi! I have just installed rutorrent following this guide: http://forums.rutorrent.org/index.php?topic=256.0  most of it seems to work fine, but every time I try to load the rutorrent-site it kills rtorrent. any ideas?
[20:27] <JoMs> I also get this error: [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence
[20:28] <BFP> It seems like the base Qt modules have been updated, but the qtconfig package hasn't been, and it uses the older version of qtcore as a dependency.
[20:28] <zazuge> lucid_guy: SCSI ? yes the stuff that is hafway between IDE and Full RAID ???
[20:28] <BFP> It looks as though rolling Qt back would mean I had to uninstall fglrx for some reason.
[20:28] <lucid_guy> zazuge: nope .. iscsi is whole other world.
[20:28] <Mike_Fox> hello
[20:28] <zazuge> lucid_guy: does the I in ISCSI make it different from SCSI ?
[20:29] <Mike_Fox> i notice that ubuntu 10.10 doesnt use the last version of flash player
[20:29] <Mike_Fox> is this dangerous?
[20:29] <lucid_guy> zazuge: Yes .. its how one would connect to a target filesytem across a network.
[20:29] <Agent001> Is there a way to completely remove ad's on google chrome browser?
[20:29] <Agent001> even youtube's ad
[20:29] <zazuge> lucid_guy: are you laking about the mini motherboad thing ? witch have higher data transfer than ATA
[20:30] <lucid_guy> zazuge: google isci ...  you still think its a local thing.
[20:30] <zazuge> lucid_guy: sorry i confused it with something else
[20:30] <zazuge> lucid_guy: well this thing is above my understanding so i'm afraid i'm no longuer usefulm

[20:33] <nailora> john38: you should show us the errors. paste the to the url in the topic

[20:49] <phxheat> hi, i want to get ubuntu setup as a vm on my windows machine to use for my rails environment; i was thinking about running it virtualized using vmware, but there's wubi, which i just read up on.  which is a better approach for my purposes: running ubuntu virtualized or through wubi?
[20:49] <john38> how do you scan with gimp
[20:49] <Burnikki> phxheat my guess would be wubi
[20:50] <wsnetbeans> hello
[20:50] <wsnetbeans> who use netbeans on ubuntu ?
[20:50] <ks3> phxheat, If you want to be logged into Windows at the same time you have Ubuntu running, you'll need virtualization with vmware, virtualbox, or similar.
[20:50] <gigi_> hello
[20:50] <MajorLong> So, recently the Universal Access Preferences icon (a handicap logo) has appeared in my panel, alongside the network indicator, iBus, that sort of thing. I have no use for it, and since it doesn't actually fit on the panel given my current logo set it really sticks out. In short, I want it gone, but doing the right-click remove from panel business doesn't work, since that takes out all of the icons on that panel ...
[20:50] <MajorLong> ... simultaneously.
[20:51] <phxheat> ks3: ok thanks
[20:51] <MajorLong> Ah right, it's called the Indicator Applet.
[20:51] <wsnetbeans> I'm on Ubuntu, I have installed netbeans but it seems that it does not include Glassfish (can't find it on Services), what can do ?
[20:51] <john38> Anybody know how to scan on gimp
[20:51] <osmosis> I have some mp3 files that wont play, im guessing maybe they are not mp3s. Is there a way to determine what file type something is in linux?
[20:51] <trism> MajorLong: System/Preferences/Keyboard, Accessibility tab, uncheck "Accessibility features can be toggled with keyboard shortcuts"
[20:52] <major_redhat> im running 10.04 inside VirtualBox and it's not allowing me to enable compiz effects.
[20:52] <ks3> osmosis, try the 'file' command. "file /path/to/file.mp3"
[20:52] <connermcd> osmosis just find the file in nautilus or the command line
[20:52] <connermcd> osmosis you may need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras to play certain filetypes
[20:52] <guntbert> osmosis: try the command:  file  <somefile>       it should tell you what it guesses (mostly correct)
[20:52] <MajorLong> trism - Damn, short and sweet and I wouldn't have thought of it. Thanks.
[20:52] <major_redhat> i've checked the settings in virtualbox to allow for 3d acceleration and even though it's selected, im unable to use anything 3d inside the virtual client
[20:53] <major_redhat> and attempting to enable desktop effects within ubuntu gives me an error message
[20:53] <llutz> john38: you need sane(xscanimage) or xsane to scan from gimp
[20:53] <guntbert> major_redhat: virtualbox support is to be found in #vbox -- did you install the guest additions?
[20:53] <xerox1> i would like to remove the trash file from a usb stick; i mounted it with the option "-o rw"; now i get an error that the device is read-only; what was wrong?
[20:54] <major_redhat> gruntbert, yes i have the latest guest additions installed and running

[20:56] <john38> llutz, i wasnt using right libgimp2.0 version
[20:56] <john38> llutz, how do i run scan software from desktop instead of terminal?
[20:57] <llutz> john38: alt-f2 "xsane"
[20:57] <guntbert> chickenbot: change a bios setting to let it boot from CD
[20:58] <john38> llutz, no im not using xsane or sane i got my scanner software to work i just want to run from desktop instead of running from terminal
[20:58] <llutz> john38: add it to the menu
[20:58] <chickenbot> guntbert: i dont have any cds to load from but ive tried to get it to boot from a usb drive but it still just skips over.. even when i change the bios to only read the usb
[20:59] <zazuge> ardian: maybe you just need to download the complet tarball zip archive from eclipse.org
[20:59] <tom___> urm
[20:59] <tom___> How can I disable X starting on boot in Ubuntu desktop?
[20:59] <tom___> It seems rather harder than I would expect
[20:59] <tom___> A lot of the intruvctions I've fond on the net don't seem to work :(
[20:59] <Pici> !nox | tom___
[20:59] <ardian> zazuge, I did it on fedora with yum install @eclipse
[20:59] <tom___> aha
[20:59] <tom___> great :D
[21:00] <slax00> how can i disable my card network if a vpn failed?
[21:00] <guntbert> chickenbot: well, PCs and booting from usb..... sigh  .. you should have the option to press a key for "boot options" (here it is F11)
[21:00] <ardian> the @clipse did all of it
[21:00] <zazuge> osmosis: "file *.mp3"
[21:00]  * tom___ vanishes
[21:00] <thomasd> i have followed this manual https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave and it works in the wine firefox but not the firefox if anyone can help me i would like that
[21:00] <john38> llutz, where is the simple scan image icon
[21:00] <chickenbot> guntbert: ill report back in a bit with it.. ive been out of the pc game for about 5 yrs and my mem kinda slipped away from me.. thank you btw
[21:00] <major_redhat> anyone running ubuntu on a solid state?

[21:01] <llutz> john38: idk
[21:01] <FloridaGuy> running ubuntu 10.10....trying to install canon printer drivers....on cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb...i keep geting ..there seems to be a programming erorr in aptdaemon....i have uninstall it and all its dendencings and reinstalled and still geting the samething
[21:01] <guntbert> !anyone | major_redhat
[21:01] <john38> llutz,  i found it
[21:01] <Irok> Is the repo servers down? I'm getting 403 all the time now
[21:02] <major_redhat> i've heard that ubuntu kills SSDs with the massive amounts of writes it does with the ext4 FS
[21:02] <slax00> how can I disable my card network if a vpn failed?
[21:02] <zazuge> ardian: "sudo apt-get install eclipse" also works
[21:02] <KB1JWQ> major_redhat: There's wear leveling on any decent SSD, it's not that big of a oncern.
[21:02] <KB1JWQ> concern, even.
[21:03] <major_redhat> KB1JWQ, its not enough wear leveling to seriously decrease the lifespan of the SSD?
[21:03] <zazuge> ardian: but last time i installed eclipse from ubuntu repo it lacked plugin RCP developpement witch i needed so maybe in your case ....
[21:04] <Maddeth> major_redhat, if you are tht concerned why not stick with ext3?
[21:04] <speedio_> I'm having problems installing gl drivers on my laptop. It has a geforce4 420 go gpu. I have tried installing the legacy 96x nvidia drivers but x will give an error. "failed to load module "nvidia"" and "no screens found" , x will start if I change the xorg.conf to use the "nv" drivers. sugestions?
[21:04] <major_redhat> Maddeth, im just curious
[21:04] <W4RH4WK> hey there, is there some kind of archive flag in ext3?
[21:04] <Dusty_TJ> nickserv register WH9134 lbarry@gmail.com
[21:04] <kish> what command will let me edit which services boot up with ubuntu?
[21:04] <Maddeth> major_redhat, cant be any worse that a nfts
[21:05] <W4RH4WK> kish, update-rc.d
[21:05] <guntbert> Dusty_TJ: tlk to nickserv only in a "private" window :-)
[21:05] <kish> then why did i install chkconfig
[21:05] <puddles> major_redhat: SSD life expectancy is a complex issues involving many parameters
[21:05] <major_redhat> well at least with an NTFS system i can have win7 which has support for SSDs
[21:05] <Dusty_TJ> derrrr... very VERY bad day
[21:05] <major_redhat> mostly TRIM
[21:05] <FloridaGuy> ??  running ubuntu 10.10....trying to install canon printer drivers....on cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb...i keep geting ..there seems to be a programming erorr in aptdaemon....i have uninstall it and all its dendencings and reinstalled and still geting the samething ?? i need my printer
[21:05] <peth> Dusty_TJ: also change your passwrd now
[21:05] <llutz> kish: sysv-rc-conf
[21:05] <Dusty_TJ> def
[21:05] <cyborgsmurf> Help. I have a slow internet connection
[21:06] <W4RH4WK> kish, don't know, maybe you are looking for something different, but you should give update-rc.d a try... even if it only manages your init startups and not the upstart startups
[21:06] <major_redhat> I mean i could always get a cheap 30 gig OCZ ssd and instal 10.04 or 10.10 on it and see how well it works
[21:06] <ardian> zazuge, hmm well I will stick with emacs for now
[21:06] <puddles> major_redhat: some you have control over, some you don't.  they range from flash chips to wear leveling algorithms, write amplification, etc.
[21:07] <zazuge> major_redhat: they say that the problem isn't with the EXT4 but the way the apps access the HD witch worked with EXT3 but is a problem with EX4 so the apps must be rewriten or upgraded
[21:07] <W4RH4WK> kish, init uses the /etc/init.d/ scripts (acutually the files in /etc/rcX.d/ but there are only links to the /etc/init.d folder)... upstart uses the /etc/init/ folder the scripts in there use different syntax
[21:07] <Dusty_TJ> anyone have experience upgrading maverick meerkat 64 bit from 4GB mem to 8 GB mem?
[21:07] <major_redhat> zazuge, so bascially i should be fine then, is that what you are saying?
[21:07] <Solovei> Whoa, this is a big channel. I'm not sure if I'm in the right place...
[21:07] <zazuge> ardian: i'm using now eclipse directly from tarball no installation no hassle
[21:08] <kish> w4rh4wk, thanks. that helps me, actually.
[21:08] <zazuge> ardian: a part from installing JVM and JDK
[21:08] <W4RH4WK> kish, i hoped so, your welcome
[21:08] <ardian> zazuge, I see
[21:08] <zazuge> ardian: and downloading subversion plugin
[21:08] <Maddeth> major_redhat, cant be any worse that a nfts?
[21:08] <Maddeth> damn up key!!!!
[21:08] <cyborgsmurf> Anyone? I have a very slow internet connection and I dont mean like 1Mbit I am talking 0,5 to 10 kb/s
[21:09] <sss> w4rh4wk
[21:09] <lock> wow that sucks
[21:09] <zazuge> ardian: remmember to download the archive witch have the devellopement envirement you need ex (plugin dev,webdev...)
[21:09] <Maddeth> I meant to type Solovei, why
[21:09] <ardian> zazuge, ok thanks
[21:09] <zazuge> ardian: or else youd have to download the plugin one by one
[21:10] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: What about a slow internet connection?
[21:10] <cyborgsmurf> I believe, I mean it feels like someone or something is stealing my bandwidth
[21:10] <gavleo> hey whats new
[21:10] <W4RH4WK> sss, whatsup?
[21:10] <lock> cyborgsmurf: what is your current infrastructure?
[21:10] <zazuge> ardian: if you don't know download the full archive witch is too massive i think
[21:10] <gavleo> hi room
[21:10] <cyborgsmurf> lock: mobile broadband
[21:10] <ardian> The repo file is like 300+ mb
[21:11] <Solovei> w4rh4wk: I installed ubutnu on my EEEpc over the weekend, and I'm kinda lost. I've been reading the documantation but it seems like the features in 10.10 aren't covered in it.
[21:11] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: it used to be better than before, but it feels like someone is stealing...
[21:11] <lock> cyborgsmurf: go to www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and test your connectivity
[21:11] <gavleo> check you internet provider
[21:11] <Maddeth> Solovei, what kind of features?
[21:11] <cyborgsmurf> lock: okay, brb then
[21:11] <lock> cyborgsmurf: and tell us what the up and down speed is
[21:11] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: Are you sharing that in anyway?
[21:12] <W4RH4WK> Solovei, what exactly are you looking for?
[21:12] <Solovei> Maddeth: Well, the unity interface for oner.
[21:12] <Solovei> *-one
[21:12] <Dusty_TJ> i'm having a problem booting maverick after doubling my RAM. anyone have ideas?
[21:12] <puddles> cyborgsmurf: as in 3G?
[21:12] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: yeah... without a password.... Sorry I hope no one steals more from me
[21:12] <cyborgsmurf> puddles: yes
[21:12] <karthick87> I have downloaded a website using wget.But i cant browse it offline.Any help...?
[21:12] <Solovei> Unless i'm an idiot and aren't looking in the right place XD I've never used linux before.
[21:13] <Maddeth> Solovei, did yuo download the std ubuntu or the notebook version
[21:13] <Maddeth> you*
[21:13] <Irok> I'm at a loss! I can't install anything on my new ubuntu 10.04 box, every apt-get install resulsts in a 403 forbidden message. I also note that it's trying to download a package for i386 while the cpu is 64-bit
[21:13] <Solovei> netbook version
[21:13] <lock> Irok: are you running ubuntu 64 bit
[21:13] <Maddeth> just checking :)
[21:13] <puddles> cyborgsmurf: you're probably not talking to a tower nearby or something
[21:13] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: yeah, but I know with whom and it never gets this slow... not before 20GB is reached... which it is not
[21:13] <FloridaGuy> ??  running ubuntu 10.10....trying to install canon printer drivers....on cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb...i keep geting ..there seems to be a programming erorr in aptdaemon....i have uninstall it and all its dendencings and reinstalled and still geting the samething ?? i need my printer
[21:14] <cyborgsmurf> puddles: well it used to be alot faster like 300kbs but now Im on 1 kbs
[21:14] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: How is this being shared? Mi-Fi type 3G modem/router?
[21:14] <Irok> lock: uname -a says i run i686
[21:15] <cyborgsmurf> 3G router, I think... it can send a signal to other laptops
[21:15] <W4RH4WK> Solovei, have you looked at https://one.ubuntu.com/
[21:15] <lock> mine says same thing xcept im on 32 bit
[21:15] <Maddeth> Solovei, it isnt on as default?
[21:15] <lock> Irok: are you sure you have permissions to install apps?
[21:15] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: Securing it isn't possible? Have you tried checking to see who else is connected?
[21:16] <Maddeth> unity i mean - Solovei
[21:16] <Solovei> w4rh4wk: I looked at it, but I don't use it - No smartphone.
[21:16] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: I dont know how
[21:16] <cyborgsmurf> Im on ubuntu 10.04
[21:16] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: Do you know your gateway ip?
[21:16] <Solovei> Maddeth, it's on and it works pretty well, but the documentation doesn't cover it at all.
[21:16] <Irok> lock: Yes, this happened after a fresh install, and after a sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade
[21:16] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: no
[21:16] <Maddeth> Solovei, i see
[21:17] <Solovei> I'll check out the beginner channel though, I think,
[21:17] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: Right click on Network manager, select connection info, Default Route = gateway ip
[21:17] <psousa> hei
[21:17] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: Connect to it with a webbrowser
[21:17] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: Connect to it with a webbrowse
[21:17] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: Connect to it with a webbrows
[21:17] <Dcite> grah, sorry
[21:17] <FloodBot2> Dcite: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:17] <Dusty_TJ> Is there a maximum memory for 10.10 64bit?
[21:17] <cyborgsmurf> test is complete, 0,20 dl/ 0,06 up
[21:17] <W4RH4WK> i'm still looking for some information about archive flag i can't find anything useful at google
[21:17] <Irok> Why is apt-get trying to install i386-packages when I'm on an ubuntu i686 install?
[21:18] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: check for a client list somewhere.. that.. or secure it with a password once you manage to get inside.
[21:18] <mayahustle> Hi i'm in an operating systems class, and I have to install kernel version 2.6.31 with no patches. (we are playing aroudn with some exploits). Is there a version of ubuntu that ships with this?
[21:18] <dans326> installing from usb and it wants / keeps trying to load files from CD-Rom any suggestions?
[21:19] <W4RH4WK> Irok, i386 and i686 are compatible as far as i know
[21:19] <puddles> mayahustle: use vm image
[21:19] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: you are going to fast... Network manager... is it in system?
[21:19] <mayahustle> where can i get the vm image for it?
[21:19] <WaSeidel> hi, some administrators from the wiki.ubuntu.com it's here?
[21:19] <mayahustle> I noticed that 9.10, ships with 2.6.31-14, but I need an earlier patch level
[21:19] <lock> Irok: try uninstalling apt and then reinstalling
[21:19] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: See that icon on the top with many ))) facing upward?
[21:20] <FloridaGuy> anyone able to please help....??    ....   ??  running ubuntu 10.10....trying to install canon printer drivers....on cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb...i keep geting ..there seems to be a programming erorr in aptdaemon....i have uninstall it and all its dendencings and reinstalled and still geting the samething ?? i need my printer
[21:20] <Irok> lock: Seems like the problem only was related to the adobe-flashplugin. I ignored it, and now it seems to install the rest... can't say for sure yet, though.
[21:20] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: Ontop.. around where you clock is...
[21:20] <W4RH4WK> mayahustle, i think you could find some deb packages for the kernel version you are looking for... just download theme (might be found by google) install theme, update grub and reboot in your very old kernel
[21:21] <argos-void> who uses here an rt2860?
[21:21] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: yeah I think I know what you mean (mine has a cable about to connect)
[21:21] <lock> Irok: sounds great! :)  There have been a lot of problems with adobe updates from what i understand
[21:21] <pandu> I am trying to run ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition. I have intel 855 graphics so the graphics are not working properly. Anybody has a solution?
[21:21] <mayahustle> w4rh4wk, okay. So would there be any kind of wierd compatibility errors going backward in patches from 14 to 0 in 2.6.31?
[21:21] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: In that case it'll be an up/down arrow.. look for the default route and try your luck?
[21:22] <mayahustle> I'd assume it should be okay to move through patch levels, but I'm not so sure.
[21:22] <dans326> Im trying to install 10.10 from usb and it wants / keeps trying to load files from CD-Rom and saying it is failing  any suggestions?
[21:22] <W4RH4WK> mayahustle, i don't know for sure, but there is no risk, if something doesn't work you can still boot the current kernel... you shouldn't delete it anyway
[21:22] <puddles> mayahustle: you're in OS class.  you're learning about exploits.  the least you could do is figure out how to install ubuntu (or another linux) in vm image.  hint: go download vmplayer
[21:22] <cyborgsmurf> my IP is 192.168.1.100
[21:22] <mayahustle> I already have vmware installed
[21:22] <SlackRat> pandu, i find that regular releases work find on netbooks and say Kubuntu net book release was bug city....................................
[21:23] <mayahustle> My problem isn't how to use vmware
[21:23] <mayahustle> it's how to install a new kernel
[21:23] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: 192.168.1.100
[21:23] <SlackRat> thats what theey all say may..............
[21:23] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: You want your gateway ip, not that one.. but try to visit 192.168.1.1 with a web browser.
[21:23] <guntbert> !kernel | mayahustle
[21:23] <puddles> mayahustle: go grab the source, unpack, "make menuconfig", "make bzImage"
[21:23] <trojan_spike> cyborgsmurf, why are u giving out your ip?
[21:23] <SlackRat> <as I figure out how to get another vmware vbox set up going..............isgh

[21:26] <SlackRat> okay so you got the latest netbook ubuntu, but it sounds like the hardware is old
[21:26] <SlackRat> i could be wrong
[21:26] <pandu> I have never used linux before, liked the new unity thing so wanted to give it a try
[21:26] <pandu> the hardware is old
[21:26] <mfraz74> was going to upgrade to 10.10 UNE, but don't think i'd have had enough time to try to remove Unity
[21:26] <nevermind_> sory, but is there russian channel on about ubuntu?
[21:27] <pandu> but I am hoping it would work since I can run windows 7 on it (without aero)
[21:27] <SlackRat> google easypeasy and crashbang linux
[21:27] <gavleo> how do i install ubuntu
[21:28] <lubun2> pandu, try peppermint
[21:28] <lubun2> pandu, or xPud
[21:28] <SlackRat> and there's always the non buntu slitaz for a tiny fast functional system..........or? any older *buntu releases on cd, dvd? Sometimes they work like a charm.............my jaunty flash install still rocks
[21:28] <pandu> lubun2 thanks i will give them a shot
[21:28] <lapion> can anyone help me with problems with a vga output of a laptop  ?
[21:28] <W4RH4WK> gavleo, there are various of ways, the easiest is to download the ubuntu dvd from the ubuntu homepage, boot it.. and there you have the installer
[21:28] <W4RH4WK> gavleo, which guides you through the installation of ubuntu
[21:29] <Dcite> cyborgsmurf: I have to get going (changing locations, will be back in an hour or so if you are still around)
[21:29] <puddles> panda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[21:29] <lubun2> pandu, if you like UNE xPud is even better
[21:29] <puddles> pandu: ^^^ above
[21:29] <W4RH4WK> gavleo, if you are not so sure what will happen :)  try it out in a vm
[21:29] <lapion> any lcd laptop I connect the display changes clock, and detects sgnal, however the screen remains dark
[21:29] <SlackRat> panda, puddles has a good link for the many bugs that hit us netbook users among others.....also the release notes.............maybe a driver update is all it is
[21:29] <lapion> if I hook a crt to it, the screen shows a very dim display..
[21:30] <pandu> Thank You guys... it seems i cant run UNE on my computer I will try xpud
[21:30] <SlackRat> lapion, i took that as a sign my screen died ..................thats just me...........heh
[21:31] <lapion> SlackRat, the laptops own screen gives display.. however all other screens I connect to the vga connector are to dim to be usable..
[21:31] <lapion> SlackRat, the external displays are fine.. they work on other computers
[21:32] <Primedeath> Anyone know how to fix GRUB to appear for at least 1 second, or allow me to boot into Ubuntu on the HDD with a LiveUSB. I had set the timeout to 0.
[21:32] <SlackRat> edit the grub script
[21:32] <Primedeath>  I'd like it to where you can only boot into Ubuntu with the Live USB Disk.
[21:32] <lapion> the problem with the laptop is that the bios has no possibilities to change the settings of the external display..
[21:32] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: maybe Ive found it
[21:32] <guntbert> Primedeath: press left <shift> key while booting
[21:32] <Primedeath> SlackRat, where exactly?
[21:32] <Primedeath> Thanks Gunt.
[21:32] <Primedeath> I'll try that.
[21:32] <SlackRat> whoa wait........you want to boot straight  from usb?
[21:32] <Primedeath> BBIAB
[21:33] <Primedeath> No.
[21:33] <trojan_spike> Primedeath, start-up manager
[21:33] <mfraz74> Primedeath: which version of GRUB are you running?
[21:33] <puddles> lapion: is the VGA cable missing pins? :-)
[21:33] <lapion> Primedeath, turn the computer on while keeping the left shift key depresse
[21:33] <SlackRat> grub 2 has me and others kinda weirded out , but 'locate grub' and find the default config file
[21:33] <Primedeath> if the Shift key works then all will be good. I don't want a screen to show.
[21:33] <SlackRat> I'm used to the old grub, so I share your pain  :-P
[21:33] <Primedeath> mfraz74, grub2.
[21:34] <SlackRat> upi dpm
[21:34] <SlackRat> sjot
[21:34] <lock> lol...is the vga cable missing pins
[21:34] <SlackRat> cough
[21:34] <Primedeath> BBIAB.
[21:34] <Primedeath> Going to SHIFT it.
[21:34] <SlackRat> you don't want to go from boot to usb tho??
[21:34] <lapion> puddles, I have 2 different vga cables both are working on other systems, and one used to work on this one before I tried switching to another screen
[21:34] <puddles> lock: well, he did say the signals are too dim
[21:34] <Primedeath> No. I wanted to use the USB Drive to boot into the HDD install.
[21:34] <Primedeath> BBIAB.
[21:34] <SlackRat> ah..........cya
[21:34] <puddles> lock: assuming it's not something fancy like color profiles, then it's probably hardware
[21:35] <x404x> i cant get my script to run at boot, i added it to rc.local under /etc/init.d
[21:35] <x404x> and made it executable
[21:36] <SlackRat> can anyone tell me the one file answer to reconfiguring and editing this damn grub2 nonsense?
[21:36] <SlackRat> :-P
[21:36] <puddles> lapion: well, my guess is ... you've got a bad motherboard :-)  you did say you can see picture, right?  and it's nice and bright when using the same monitor with another VGA source, right?  only dim with this laptop, right?
[21:36] <pedahzur> So, any solution yet for "
[21:36] <lapion> sometimes while changing form single display to 2 display settings part of the secondary display shows on the laptop display, and that part is a then darker then the rest of the primary
[21:36] <pedahzur> Err http://archive.canonical.com karmic/partner adobe-flashplugin 10.1.102.65-1karmic1
[21:36] <pedahzur>   403  Forbidden
[21:36] <pedahzur> grrr
[21:36] <pedahzur> sorry
[21:36] <FloodBot2> pedahzur: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:36] <W4RH4WK> x404x, is your scripts executed before the exit 0 command in rc.local?
[21:36] <lubun2> x404x, iirc shud be in /etc
[21:36] <SlackRat> grrr is perfectly acceptable annoyance language
[21:37] <pedahzur> So, any solution yet for "Err http://archive.canonical.com karmic/partner adobe-flashplugin 10.1.102.65-1karmic1 403  Forbidden" when trying to upgrade Flash?
[21:37] <x404x> hm no i put the in the file that calls the rc.local with exit 0
[21:38] <lapion> I think I need to clear the cached edid settings for the output..
[21:38] <guntbert> pedahzur: where do you get this error?
[21:39] <lapion> I think somewhere the edid settings are cached on drive
[21:39] <pedahzur> guntbert: from 'apt-get upgrade'
[21:39] <W4RH4WK> x404x, edit rc.local and just add the path to your script before exit 0
[21:39] <lapion> it all started with edid checksum errors
[21:39] <pedahzur> guntbert: after an 'apt-get update' Yes, running as root.
[21:39] <W4RH4WK> x404x, when rc.local is parsed, it will run your script
[21:39] <MrDOS> Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with my system not booting. Or rather, someone else's system, which is making troubleshooting a little more dodgy than normal.
[21:39] <pedahzur> guntbert: This fails: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_10.1.102.65-1karmic1_i386.deb
[21:40] <MrDOS> Not sure what happened, but when it was powered on today, it booted to a flashing cursor
[21:40] <MrDOS> I've live booted it now and reinstalled GRUB to make sure that's not the problem, but apart from getting me access to the menu, that's really done nothing
[21:40] <puddles> lapion: that's sent from the monitor to the video card.  you can use the read-edid utility to read that info if you want
[21:40] <W4RH4WK> MrDOS, boot without the quiet option and google the output of ther kernel, there might be some error like msg
[21:40] <x404x> k i try in the other rc.local file
[21:41] <lastk> hey, someone can tell me the name of default theme from ubuntu 10?
[21:41] <lapion> puddles, recently something was changed, and the edid is being cached , I think the edid is cached in a temporary file that is not erased
[21:41] <guntbert> pedahzur: strange, but that is obviously something on the web site
[21:41] <W4RH4WK> x404x, other rc.local? there should only be ONE, /etc/rc.local
[21:42] <x0rs> Is it easy to change the 'ubuntu' bootup screen in 10.04?
[21:42] <pedahzur> guntbert: Right, I realize that, but I wondered if anyone at Canonical was aware.  Searching launchpad.net didn't reveal anything.
[21:42] <MrDOS> W4RH4WK: I haven't tried that, but I did try booting to the recovery kernel, and when I did, the boot process hung after running /scripts/init-bottom
[21:43] <MrDOS> Also, /etc seems to have disappeared
[21:43] <matsa_> /echo whois rav-and1
[21:43] <MrDOS> Not sure what's going on there, but if I mount the partition, I can't see it
[21:43] <W4RH4WK> MrDOS, if there is no /etc/ directory you are pretty fu**ed
[21:44] <MrDOS> W4RH4WK, that is what I'm thinking
[21:44] <guntbert> pedahzur: I'm not sure if that is supposed to work like before and "they" don't follow this channel as far as I know
[21:44] <puddles> mrdos: use the livecd, get a shell, mkdir /tmp/root-partition; mount the root partition on /tmp/root-partition; mount the other mount points (/boot, /tmp, and so on) and eventually "chroot /tmp/root-partition /bin/bash"
[21:44] <W4RH4WK> MrDOS, you could try to copy the /etc/ folder from a fresh install to the partition
[21:44] <guntbert> pedahzur: additionally https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash  seem a bit outdated :-)
[21:45] <W4RH4WK> MrDOS, this might sound like suicide but it could work, so you could boot up the kernel again, but there will still be missing configs
[21:45] <MrDOS> W4RH4WK, I'm live booting on the machine now -- no other machines handy
[21:46] <MrDOS> puddles, I'm about to do that
[21:46] <MrDOS> I've got it mounted
[21:46] <guntbert> !enter | MrDOS
[21:47] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: Hi again... irc stopped. should I setup a firewall for my problems?
[21:47] <puddles> mrdos: that'd be what i'd do anyway.  if i run into problems along the way then i know what's going on
[21:48] <MrDOS> “chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error”
[21:48] <MrDOS> That's bad, isn't it?
[21:48] <puddles> mrdos: your live cd isn't same architecture as what's on the drive
[21:48] <puddles> mrdos: what's on the drive is probably amd64 while your boot cd is i386
[21:48] <MrDOS> No, wait, it's not – this is an i386 disc and the install is amd64
[21:48] <cyborgsmurf> Dcite: btw, how do I beep you here on IRC? I mean like the notifier beep so I know I have a message?
[21:48] <MrDOS> puddles, that's right, I'm stupid
[21:49] <puddles> mrdos: way ahead of ya ;-)
[21:49] <MrDOS> Shall I still try coping /etc in? I can't do much else without the correct boot disc, can I?
[21:49] <puddles> mrdos: you can still do some investigation without doing the chroot thing
[21:50] <puddles> mrdos: like ... vi some files, read some logs, figure out what happened, maybe e2fsck something or other
[21:50] <W4RH4WK> MrDOS, yeah, try it.. maybe it works
[21:50] <W4RH4WK> MrDOS, if not.. you are back at the beginning...
[21:51] <puddles> mrdos: why would you copy /etc without figuring out what happened in the first place?  maybe the cure is worse than the disease
[21:51] <MrDOS> puddles: Ahead of you there with the logs, although I can't see what actually happened
[21:51] <puddles> mrdos: when was / last modified?
[21:51] <eriksson25> Anyone know why this comand dosent work--> "useradd -r /bin/false -m /opt/chrooted/ventrilo ventrilo"
[21:51] <puddles> mrdos: that should tell you the date/time that /etc was removed
[21:52] <MrDOS> ls -al on /media (where it's mounted) says 2010-09-30
[21:52] <ikonia> eriksson25: useradd -s for shell, not -r
[21:52] <erUSUL> eriksson25: what is the error message you get?
[21:52] <MrDOS> So that can't be right...
[21:52] <eriksson25> Just pops up a list of options.
[21:52] <puddles> mrdos: because ... ?
[21:52] <ikonia> eriksson25: because the options is -s shell - not -r shell
[21:53] <eriksson25> same with -s
[21:53] <MrDOS> puddles, because today's the 15th, and everything was alright on the 14th, no?
[21:53] <ikonia> eriksson25: -k -m /opt/chrooted/ventrilo ventrilo
[21:53] <erUSUL> eriksson25: i guess you want --> sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false -m /opt/chrooted/ventrilo ventrilo
[21:53] <puddles> mrdos: well, / was last modified (probably by the removal of /etc) on 9/30 (but that is a guess)
[21:54] <eriksson25> erUSUL, same error
[21:54] <puddles> mrdos: the machine itself might have continued to operate OK until the 14th because power was not shut off, and maybe apps don't bother reading /etc files until now-ish
[21:54] <W4RH4WK> eriksson25, try -m without the arg
[21:54] <MrDOS> puddles, I wish I could agree, but the machine's been turned on/off pretty much daily
[21:55] <ikonia> eriksson25: what is the full exact command you are using
 same with yours, just shows me a list of options.
[21:55] <W4RH4WK> eriksson25, i think you meant -d not -m
[21:55] <ikonia> eriksson25: show me exactly that your typing
[21:55] <eriksson25> sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false -m /opt/chrooted/ventrilo ventrilo
[21:55] <ikonia> eriksson25: sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false -m -k -d /opt/chrooted/ventrilo ventrilo
[21:56] <ikonia> eriksson25: you may not need -k
[21:56] <erUSUL> eriksson25: W4RH4WK is right. -m does not accept options.... is -d.
[21:56] <ikonia> you will need -m though
[21:57] <eriksson25> Yes, I dont want it to create a /home
[21:57] <MrDOS> e2fsck complains about the superblock not being readable or not describing a correct ext2 FS; fsck, however, indicates a clean FS
[21:57] <W4RH4WK> -m tells 'em to create a homedir, but it would use the default path.. with the -d option you overwrite the default path
[21:57] <eriksson25> following this http://www.howtoforge.com/ventrilo_voice_communication_server_ubuntu_feisty_amd64
[21:57] <ashish> hi there
[21:57] <howlymowly> hi poeple.. is anyone here using kopete together with ICQ? i have a question, because for some reason since today, kopete tells me my password was wrong.. but using other messenger apps I don#t have any problems...
[21:57] <ashish> any PHP experts here?
[21:57] <eriksson25> W4RH4WK so -d instead of -m
[21:58] <erUSUL> MrDOS: maybe it is not a ext* file system? xfs; jfs?
[21:58] <MrDOS> Oh hang on, that's because it's jfs, and fdsk understands that OK
[21:58] <eriksson25> useradd -r /bin/false -d /opt/chrooted/ventrilo ventrilo
[21:58] <W4RH4WK> eriksson25, wait.. i didn't get it, you want a home dir for the new user or you dont
[21:58] <eriksson25> dosent work.
[21:58] <maniak> asd
[21:58] <MrDOS> ...why is this drive's / jfs, and /home xfs? Weird
[21:58] <eriksson25> I want, but in /opt....
[21:58] <erUSUL> eriksson25: useradd -r -s /bin/false -d /opt/chrooted/ventrilo ventrilo
[21:58] <x404x> why is my command not executed at boot ? I added the command to rc.local before exit and it still doesnt run, I pasted it out to see if it worked and it does
[21:59] <erUSUL> MrDOS: well you changes defaults when ionstalling that's for sure.
[21:59] <jrib> x404x: tell us what you added to /etc/rc.local exactly
[21:59] <erUSUL> x404x: what command is this? why do you know it is not being run ?
[21:59] <eriksson25> Got a other error: useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.
[21:59] <W4RH4WK> eriksson25, erUSUL is right, try that command and tell us if it worked
[21:59] <x404x> the command to load the sabnzvdplus daemon
[21:59] <jrib> x404x: tell us what you added to /etc/rc.local exactly
[21:59] <erUSUL> eriksson25: you have to use sudo
[22:00] <MrDOS> erUSUL: Not my system
[22:00] <x404x> sabnzvdplus
[22:00] <eriksson25> sorry, ofc litle tired
[22:00] <x404x> no > sabnzbdplus
[22:00] <jrib> x404x: try the absolute path
[22:00] <eriksson25> worked =), or it got created atleast
[22:00] <x404x> for the executable ?
[22:00] <eriksson25> Thx for the help
[22:00] <jrib> x404x: is this some sornt of gui application?
[22:00] <W4RH4WK> eriksson25, check the /etc/passwd file and look if the user exists
[22:00] <x404x> yes it loads a firefox window
[22:01] <jrib> x404x: ok.  Don't use rc.local, that's not what it's for
[22:01] <jrib> !startup | x404x
[22:01] <Jordan_U> SlackRat: /etc/default/grub is all you should ever need to edit.
[22:01] <lilser> Hi Everyone i have a question when someones free i need a lil help
[22:01] <x404x> hm ok ill try put it there. thanx
[22:01] <jrib> lilser: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[22:01] <erUSUL> !ask | lilser
[22:02] <MrDOS> sudo jfs_fsck /dev/sda1 -afv said it fixed things, but I still see no /etc
[22:02] <percious> hey guys, how can i install 32-bit libx11 on my 64 bit system?
[22:02] <Vuokko> Hi! How do I unmount auto mounted USB stick from command line?
[22:03] <SlackRat> Thanks Jordan U.......you in Jordan btw?
[22:03] <ZykoticK9> percious, i've never heard of a libx11... but check out the 'getlibs' script, search the forum for line - to install 32bit libs on 64bit ubuntu
[22:03] <jrib> Vuokko: sudo umount /mount/point
[22:04] <erUSUL> Vuokko: udisks --unmount /media/whatever
[22:04] <lilser> ok i have a asus g73jh all the drivers work properly but the sound i cant get the integrated sub to work i have tryed several profiles and the terminal alsa settings but cant figure it out it makes the sound a little unblalenced because the other two speakers are pretty much just for high sounds if anyone can help id appriciate it
[22:04] <W4RH4WK> Vuokko, umount /media/<name of usb>
[22:04] <MrDOS> Vuokko: sudo umount /media/<mount_point> should still work OK; if you don't know auto-assigned mount name, you can tab-complete until the right one pops up
[22:04] <MrDOS> Alright, I'm going to go ahead with the /etc copy
[22:04] <givelet> Hey, seems like having problem with sound drivers can hear sound trough laptop speakers but if I plug in headphones sound will still continue trough speakers
[22:05] <percious> libX11 i guess
[22:05] <percious> you know, the window manager?
[22:05] <erUSUL> ia32-libs ?
[22:05] <Vuokko> thanks. Now I have my USB stcik.
[22:05] <percious> hmm, im using 8.04 btw

[22:08] <lilser> if any one can help with my problem up above id really appriciate it
[22:09] <Alan502> Lol I just noticed Maverick's final release happened a month ago
[22:09] <Alan502> What's new?
[22:09] <x404x> the mdadmn daemonize monitor should that be added to rc.local ?
[22:11] <zeeno> Anyone here able to help me out? I just installed Ubuntu on my Windows machine using Wubi, and I'm having Keyboard/Mouse problems! :(
[22:12] <W4RH4WK> lilser, have you tryed pulse audio instead of alsa, maybe that could work better with your sub....
[22:13] <lilser> no i havent tryed that yet does linux support laptop integrated subs?
[22:13] <zeeno> I have a bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse combo (Logitech MX5500), and it just doesn't work in Ubuntu. I don't have any regular Keyboard or Mouse, so I can't even log into Ubuntu to fix it. Anyone got any solutions?
[22:14] <pakistaniel> Hey, I am trying to test Ubuntu 10.10 on my other laptop using a cd, when I press the Try Ubuntu button, it loads for a while before the screen turns black and I can only see my mouse cursor, I can control the mouse but its only black...how can I fix this? Thank you
[22:14] <ahaney3> I've been manually mounting an sshfs partition every time I boot my laptop and someone told me that I could use autofs to do that, but I don't quite understand, should I put the command in /etc/fstab or /etc/auto_master?
[22:15] <se9700> pakistaniel: change settings for graphics card in bios, allow it to boot up with more than 32mb
[22:16] <GeekyAdam> hi all. where should i look if i want to see ssh login attempts? i thought it was in "/var/log/secure" but it doesn't exist. running server 10.04.
[22:16] <Diamondcite> GeekyAdam: How about /var/log/auth.log ?
[22:16] <GeekyAdam> Diamondcite: trying, thxc
[22:17] <sl33k_> i cant get my directory changed in root folder?
[22:17] <percious> thanks for the getlibs hint
[22:18] <sl33k_> its shhowing no such file
[22:18] <percious> my program is happily compiling as 32 bits
[22:18] <sl33k_> or directory
[22:18] <pakistaniel> se9700: ty
[22:18] <se9700> sure
[22:18] <sl33k_> i cant get my directory changed in root folder?
[22:19] <jrib> sl33k_: what are you trying to accomplish?
[22:20] <sl33k_> jrib: i want to go to subdirectory
[22:20] <sl33k_> i am in root
[22:20] <jrib> sl33k_: pastebin your terminal session
[22:20] <sl33k_> cd name doesnt show
[22:20] <W4RH4WK> sl33k_, what happens when you just type cd
[22:20] <tka> hi. ubuntu doesn't recognize any usb-devices, which means no keyboard and no mouse. how can i fix this?
[22:20] <W4RH4WK> sl33k_, and then whats the output of pwd
[22:20] <ZykoticK9> sl33k_, user directories are held under /home
[22:21] <sl33k_> http://pastebin.com/SrRbVVSU
[22:21] <st__> except /root
[22:22] <GeekyAdam> Diamondcite: why is there a "auth.log" and "auth.log.1", etc?
[22:22] <sl33k_> st__: that command?
[22:22] <ZykoticK9> GeekyAdam, the foo.log.1 is the old log(s)
[22:23] <se9700> maybe it logs each session separately?
[22:23] <GeekyAdam> ZykoticK9: thx
[22:23] <st__> sl33k_, no, it's root's $HOME
[22:23] <st__> why ubuntu has no common folders?
[22:24] <sl33k_> ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ on pwd
[22:24] <ikonia> st__: what ?
[22:24] <st__> like 'Common Documents'
[22:24] <ZykoticK9> st__, technically /tmp is "common" and world writable.  I don't think that's what you where asking though.
[22:24] <ynk> What's the recommended c++ channel?
[22:24] <x404x> mdadm --monitor --scan --daemonize --mail=joe@test.com
[22:24] <x404x> when i try that command i just get 2254 msg
[22:24] <st__> ZykoticK9, i couldn't make /tmp contents survive reboot :(
[22:24] <ikonia> st__: you can make and directory you want for a "common" directory
[22:24] <The_Tick> ynk: ##c++ I think
[22:24] <x404x> what does it mean ?
[22:25] <ikonia> x404x: what do the messages say
[22:25] <ynk> The_Tick: thanks
[22:25] <x404x> 2254
[22:25] <ikonia> x404x: just that ?
[22:25] <x404x> yes
[22:25] <sl33k_> st__, how to go to other folder, cd doesnt work
[22:25] <The_Tick> is there a way to configure the popup notifications in ubuntu?
[22:25] <x404x> does it mean something ?
[22:25] <ikonia> sl33k_: cd does work
[22:26] <ZykoticK9> sl33k_, i'm sure cd works, you just aren't giving it the correct path
[22:26] <ikonia> x404x: it's the process id
[22:26] <ikonia> x404x: you've put mdadm into daemon mode, it's annoucning it's pid
[22:26] <x404x> ah so its not an error
[22:26] <ikonia> no
[22:26] <ikonia> x404x: the process runs in the background and monitors your meta devices
[22:26] <aneto> how i can mount / umount USB device from command line ?
[22:27] <st__> but if i create a "world writable" directory any daemon can write or read to it like httpd and other unrelated services, it's kinda risky
[22:27] <x404x> before i got an error about it not understanding metadata 00.90 in the mdadm.conf file so i removed that
[22:27] <sl33k_> my folder is py3k, my root is ubuntu; so if i cd name, it gives no file or directory
[22:27] <ikonia> st__: what do you actually want to have ?
[22:27] <ikonia> sl33k_: cd /name
[22:27] <st__> a shared folder for all 'human' users, not root or services etc.
[22:28] <ZykoticK9> sl33k_, you could search for the directory using "find / -name pk3k 2>/dev/null"
[22:28] <ikonia> st__: make a group for human uses, add them to it, make it 770
[22:28] <aneto> how can i mount USB drive from command line ?
[22:28] <ZykoticK9> sl33k_, typo on above - py3k not pk3k
[22:28] <ikonia> aneto: same as any other disk, mount and umount
[22:28] <Agent001> I believe ubuntu should design better visual styles for the next release
[22:29] <dolphin> is simple aneto
[22:29] <ZykoticK9> aneto, "sudo mount /dev/SDX# /mount/point" and "sudo umount /mount/point"
[22:29] <st__> no such by default?
[22:29] <ikonia> Agent001: enjoy our beliefs, this is a support channel
[22:29] <aneto> thank you !
[22:29] <ikonia> st__: no
[22:29] <gregL> ntp
[22:30] <Diamondcite> ikonia: was it ubuntu or some other distro that has the group "users" ?

[22:32] <x404x> is it possible to find out what time something happens ? from dmesg ? 414.997430] 3w-9xxx: scsi0: AEN: ERROR (0x04:0x003A): Drive power on reset detected:port=7.
[22:32] <goltoof> sudo hwclock --systohc,  gets me 3:28 ...  seems 3 minutes off
[22:32] <W4RH4WK> gotta go, cu everyone
[22:32] <x404x> is that the stardate ?
[22:32] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> st__, nope, i will now
[22:32] <ikonia> x404x: no
[22:33] <ikonia> x404x: dmesg is not time stamped, the syslog is
[22:33] <x404x> i thought dmesg was the syslog ?
[22:33] <ikonia> x404x: no
[22:34] <goltoof> please halp!   my clock is 3 minutes off..
[22:34] <ikonia> goltoof: sync it with ntpd
[22:34] <ikonia> goltoof: use ntpdate as a one off sync
[22:34] <KB1JWQ> !ntp
[22:35] <goltoof> KB1JWQ:   despite all those settings, and syncing with ntpd the clock is still 3 mins off
[22:36] <ikonia> goltoof: if your clock is 3 minutes off the drift is too much
[22:36] <KB1JWQ> goltoof: Then use a server that's set correctly? :-)
[22:36] <ikonia> goltoof: you need to use ntpdate to sync it, then ntpd to keep it in sync
[22:36] <KB1JWQ> goltoof: ntpdate that sucker, or use step-tickers.
[22:37] <walt> can someone please link me to the correct way if getting the java6 jdk on 10.10?

[22:37] <erUSUL> !java | walt
[22:37] <walt> I have googled and tried everything I have come across, but I can't get it. These instructions do not seem to work http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/canonical_partner?dist=maverick
[22:37] <goltoof> ikonia:   whats this about drift?  it sets rpoper with ntpdate but eventually goes back to 3 mins behind
[22:37] <walt> erUSUL: thanks
[22:38] <ikonia> goltoof: you need to set it with ntpdate - once it's set, use ntpd to keep it in sync
[22:38] <ikonia> goltoof: if the drift is too big, ntpd can't sync it (90 seconds I think is the limit from memory)
[22:39] <goltoof> ikonia: ntpd doesn't start auto by default?
[22:39] <ikonia> goltoof: no
[22:39] <ikonia> goltoof: you need to install, and configure it

[22:45] <goltoof> bobbi, character map.. if you're talking about putting it in, that sounds like more of a client issue  ( hotmail < gmail)
[22:45] <walt> erUSUL: this does not seem to cover installing sun's java implementaion on 10.10, which is what I need.
[22:45] <walt> am I missing something?
[22:45] <ikonia> Guyknd: is there a native linux port ?
[22:45] <Diamondcite> lilser: Why asus specific?
[22:46] <Guyknd> ikonia: sorry, don't undertand.
[22:46] <erUSUL> walt: enable the partners repositorie ( see !partner to enable it ) and the simply install sun-java6-jdk afaik
[22:46] <ikonia> Guyknd: is there a linux version of ragnarok
[22:46] <st__> Guyknd, is it Java app?

[22:48] <blackshirt> hi
[22:48] <se9700> yo
[22:48] <mikha_> anyone can help or no?
[22:48] <st__> !piracy | Guyknd
[22:49] <blackshirt> mikha_: what yours problem ?
[22:49] <meoblast001> i was on another machine, and did usermod to add myself to www-data, and doing so removed me from sudoers file
[22:49] <ikonia> st__: the client appears to be a free client, why is that piracy ?
[22:49] <mikha_> as it was last night still cant open on firefox nor chromium
[22:49] <x404x> also the clac-clac noises are not a good sign on a new drive right ? trust the postal service to smash them to atoms lol
[22:49] <meoblast001> what command would i run (as root, will have to find a way in as root) to readd myself?
[22:49] <se9700> !piracy | me
[22:49] <x404x> might be time for an rma
[22:49] <Guyknd> st__: sorry but i don't sayd nothing about piracy, i just need how play ragnarok on linux.
[22:50] <erUSUL> meoblast001: no you removed yourself to all the groups you where in inlcuding admin ( that group is what gives you the power to use sudo )
[22:50] <MrDOS> Well, I replaced the /etc tree and the machine boots now
[22:50] <erUSUL> meoblast001: you should have used adduser.
[22:50] <ikonia> Guyknd: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ro-client/ as someone posted earlier
[22:50] <st__> Guyknd, you asked how to setup private server on Linux, it's piracy
[22:50] <meoblast001> erUSUL: so, if my username is braden, should i add myself to groups admin, braden, and www-data?
[22:50] <erUSUL> meoblast001: now you have to boot into recovery mode and add yourself back to the admin group
[22:50] <lock> hey guys, quick Q;  how to uninstall kubuntu desktop??  I tried sudo apt-get --purge remove kubuntu-desktop and that did not work any suggestions?
[22:51] <Guyknd> st__: are you crazy?
[22:51] <ikonia> st__: doesn't look like he did,
[22:51] <erUSUL> meoblast001: drop to a root shell and do « adduser your_username admin »
 i can open nor on firefox or chromium ...
[22:51] <meoblast001> erUSUL: and then my group braden.. and any other groups?
[22:51] <mikha_> :(
[22:51] <se9700> yea he is crazy
[22:51] <ikonia> you can have private servers (reading the docus now)
[22:51] <MrDOS> Only, I have no sound: every time something tries to use alsa, I get “Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so”
[22:51] <meoblast001> erUSUL: ok, i'll do that, brb
[22:51] <erUSUL> meoblast001: yes; plugdev fuse audio and afew others come to mind. but the important one is admin
[22:52] <blackshirt> mikha_: try another browser, ..
[22:52] <meoblast001> erUSUL: hm, would it be beneficial to remove my user account and recreate it? this is a relatively new install
[22:52] <meoblast001> meh, i'll avoid that and just add myself to admin
[22:52] <meoblast001> brb
[22:52] <erUSUL> meoblast001: your choice
i removed them and downloaded arora the weird part i can download use pidgin but i cant surf the webb ...
 any thing i have in my system ??
[22:54] <sebsebseb> Hi
[22:54] <malko2> hi!
[22:54] <totic> How do I make ubuntu use some standard Time system, somehow its 7 minutes ahead
[22:54] <malko2> how are you ?
[22:54] <ikonia> totic: you need to use a tool caled "ntpdate" to sync it, then ntpd to keep it in sync
[22:54] <blackshirt> mikha_: i don't know what you mean
[22:54] <sebsebseb> malko2: hi
[22:54] <Tunix> What are some cool channels people hang out in under freenode?
[22:55] <LjL> !channels > Tunix    (Tunix, see the private message from ubottu)
[22:55] <ikonia> Tunix: offtopic for here, we are not a yellow pages of channels
[22:55] <Tunix> !channels
[22:55] <sebsebseb> Tunix: well #ubuntu-offtopic isn't one of them for me, but a good place to ask that
[22:55] <MrDOS> Can anyone tell me where I can get a stock amd64 /etc tree?
[22:55] <malko2> i ve got problem to start Gparted with 10.10
[22:55] <malko2> you alos ?
[22:55] <malko2> also
[22:55] <Tunix> thanks guys
[22:55] <ikonia> MrDOS: you need to re-install
[22:55] <erUSUL> totic: right click on the clock. Preferences. in that dialog click on the button to set time and date then the set system time button
i can use irc and pidgin i can download softwares from the ubuntu center but i cant surf the net
it give me connection timed out
[22:55] <ikonia> MrDOS: /etc/ is unique to your system - if you have deleted it, you need to re-install
[22:55] <meoblast001> erUSUL: thanks, worked :)
[22:55] <sebsebseb> Tunix: also you can do a /list and look through a long list of channels on the network, and join channels that you want to
[22:56] <g_> hi, is it possible to mount a directory as a drive?
[22:56] <blackshirt> mikha_: are you using proxies ??
[22:56] <erUSUL> meoblast001: no problem
not at all
[22:56] <blackshirt> mikha_: check it under connection setting..
 i did
[22:56] <meoblast001> erUSUL: and just keeping myself in groups braden, admin, and www-data should be fine for a server?
i am not using proxy
[22:56] <erUSUL> g_: in linux ; drives appear as directories... so what is the point of mounting a dir as drive if it would show up as o directory again ?
[22:57] <blackshirt> mikha_: are you using firewall or another like it.. ?
[22:57]  * meoblast001 really is in no position to be running a server, but someone has to do it
 not at all :(
[22:57] <g_> erUSUL: you're right. didn't think that one through
[22:57] <blackshirt> try to ping some web sites, is it works ?
i pinged google
it worked
[22:58] <MrDOS> exit
[22:58] <MrDOS> whups
[22:58] <erUSUL> g_: anyway as weird as it sounds you can use « mount --bind » to make a dirtree show up in other places of the system ;) see "man mount"
but still no internet in arora aswell:(
[22:59] <totic> erUSUL: I am login into the server over ssh
[22:59] <meoblast001> oh great, more mess ups on my end
[22:59] <meoblast001> how do you recover a file to how it was when APT installed it?
[22:59] <meoblast001> i accidentally deleted an important file
[22:59] <blackshirt> mikha_:can you install midori browser ?
[22:59] <erUSUL> meoblast001: you should be in a group with your name; dilaup if you want to use serial ports. lpadmin maybe for printers ... plugdev
[22:59] <erUSUL> totic: sorry ?
[22:59] <totic> erUSUL:  I can't click on the clock
[23:00] <x404x> are the syslogs kept forever ?
[23:00] <meoblast001> could i just reinstall the package? i know i can apt-get remove and apt-get install, but what command reinstalls?
[23:00] <ikonia> x404x: no
i m instaling it right now
[23:00] <se9700> just use both
[23:00] <erUSUL> totic: oops lost track of you; sorry. then use ntpdate from command line
[23:00] <erUSUL> totic: maybe install and set up ntpd
[23:00] <blackshirt> meoblast001: yes, exactly, you can use --reinstall options
[23:01] <meoblast001> sudo apt-get --reinstall apache2?
[23:01] <blackshirt> meoblast001: apt-get install --reinstall apache2
[23:01] <totic> erUSUL: I am trying to set it up
[23:01] <meoblast001> thanks
[23:02] <meoblast001> :/
[23:02] <meoblast001> it didn't restore my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
[23:02] <erUSUL> meoblast001: it may be part of another package
[23:02] <erUSUL> !find /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
[23:03] <meoblast001> apt-get find?
[23:03] <terminalvelocity> help
[23:03] <erUSUL> !search /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
[23:03] <erUSUL> meoblast001: do « dpkg -S /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default » in a terminal
[23:03] <meoblast001> my stupidity really causes problems for me
[23:03] <gabspeck> hello everyone
[23:03]  * erUSUL useless bot ;P
[23:03] <blackshirt> terminalvelocity: what your problems ?
[23:03] <meoblast001> not found :/
[23:03] <blackshirt> gabspeck: hello
[23:04] <gabspeck> i'm having a real pain trying to make pulseaudio output to a geforce hdmi device :(
[23:04] <blocky> What does this mean: Phase Encoding is a line code in which the encoding of each data bit has at least one transition and occupies the same time. It therefore has no DC component,
[23:04] <s093294> is it possible to when a ect ping request comes in on interface ppp0 to responde over interface eth1 ? a firewall is blocking trafic out on ppp0
[23:04] <erUSUL> blocky: wrong channel ?
[23:04] <blocky> lol yep, my bad
[23:05] <gabspeck> has anyone succeeded making it work on 10.10?
[23:05] <blackshirt> gabspeck: i no have experience with it
[23:05] <gabspeck> is there a specific channel for audio issues/pulseaudio ?
[23:07] <pompa_> hi. i have a similar problem like this: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1611746 when i come to the step where the files should be downloaded from the cd, i get prompted that there is no cdrom. the server doesn't have a drive so that's why im installing from usb. any ideas on how to solve the problem
[23:07] <pompa_> the machine is an old hp proliant g2
[23:10] <mac^^^> has anyone had problems with nvidia on latest ubuntu?
[23:11] <gabspeck> mac^^^: i'm having problems outputing hdmi audio
thanks :)
[23:11] <mac^^^> gabspeck: specifically I was wondering about getting gui to work
[23:11] <hobbsc> i have a server running kvm that has three nics, two with gateways.  when i ssh into the host, i eventually get kicked out, but when i ssh into the guests, my connection stays up indefinitely.  i've not been able to find any issues in the error logs nor any sort of common time for the connection resets.  i generally get the "broken pipe" error
[23:11] <blackshirt> mikha_: is it works now ?
[23:11] <sl33k_> what are the -dev packages?
[23:11] <hobbsc> thoughts?
[23:12] <gabspeck> mac^^^: did you install the proprietary driver ?
[23:12] <sl33k_>  what are the -dev packages?
[23:12] <rbht> hobbsc did u set SSH timeout ?
[23:12] <hobbsc> rbht: no, but i can't get back in after it kicks me out
[23:12] <Dice-Man> sl33k_, developement packages
[23:12] <hobbsc> rbht: you talking about server side timeout, or client?
[23:13] <sl33k_> how do i get it
[23:13] <rbht> putty has it
[23:13] <mac^^^> gabspeck: to be honest I use fedora and had ALL kinds of difficulty with nvidia, finally, jerked that card out and put in some low end ATI Radeon and things worked with no special configuration
[23:13] <rbht> like inactivity timeout
[23:13] <hobbsc> rbht: i'm using ubuntu to access the machine
[23:13] <sl33k_> how do i get -dev packages
[23:13] <hobbsc> so just straight ssh on the command line
[23:13] <sl33k_> is it same for everyone
[23:13] <mac^^^> gabspeck: I was just wondering if the nvidia problem with new fedora also affected ubuntu
[23:14] <blackshirt> sl33k: what you mean ?
[23:14] <hobbsc> once it kicks me out, it doesn't even show ssh when i nmap the server, but if i netstat -nap|grep :20 on the server, i can see ssh is up
[23:14] <rbht> hobbsc if you cant ssh back, could be maybe firewall
[23:14] <sl33k_> blackshirt: i need -dev package
[23:14] <sl33k_> how to download?
[23:15] <hobbsc> rbht: i've done ufw allow 22
[23:15] <hobbsc> rbht: could iptables deny access and then re-allow it that way?
[23:15] <hobbsc> because if i give it a few minutes, i can get back in
[23:15] <gabspeck> mac^^^: ah, ok. well, if you need full 3D support, install the proprietary driver, the only drawbacks are that the monitors control panel doesn't work (you have to use nvidia's own program to e.g. change resolution) and the boot screen gets awful
[23:15] <sl33k_> is it the same for all codes
[23:15] <blackshirt> sl33k_ : -dev package mean development packages, you can install it with apt
[23:15] <hobbsc> if so, how the hell do i disable iptables
[23:15] <rbht> hobbsc do you have rate-limits for port 22 ?
[23:15] <mac^^^> gabspeck: i'm PERFECtLY satisfied with 2d, all I ever really to is thunderbird, browser and tons of gnome-terminals
[23:15] <blackshirt> !reset-panel
[23:16] <sl33k_> blackshirt: sudo apt-get install -dev?
[23:16] <hobbsc> rbht: i haven't set any, this is box stock install, the only thing i've done is install kvm and edit /etc/network/interfaces
[23:16] <gabspeck> mac^^^: alright, so if you don't miss compiz you're ok with the foss driver :
[23:16] <gabspeck> :)
[23:16] <blackshirt> sl33k_: apt-get install package-name-dev
[23:16] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: Plymouth boot up issue?
[23:16] <mardad> hi
[23:16] <rbht> hobbsc and it only happens on 1 interface out of 3 ?
[23:16] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: YES how did you know?
[23:16] <mardad> alguen habla españole
[23:16] <erUSUL> !es | mardad
[23:17] <hobbsc> rbht: the other two interfaces aren't listening for ssh, just the one interface.  the guests are listening on the other interfaces and i can access them just peachy
[23:17] <hobbsc> rbht: that's what leads me to think it might be a firewall issue
[23:17] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: when I went with ATI Radeon card, all my problems went away
[23:17] <hobbsc> only the host is giving me this problem
[23:17] <mardad> join #casa
[23:17] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: since I have had that issue,  with 10.04 on other computer,  but also  Fedora 13 and 14 on this computer,  whats intersting though is how Mandriva,  works fine it seems on both computers :)  propritary Nivida driver or not, for Plymouth
[23:17] <rbht> hobbsc try flushing iptables
[23:17] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: in my experience
[23:18] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: and it may work better with ATI as well
[23:18] <hobbsc> rbht: i'm iptables retarded, is there any official documentation for that process?
[23:18] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: I'm thinking something changed (either on nvidia's end or with X or with something in plymoth)
[23:18] <goltoof> !iptables
[23:18] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: well  the Nivia drivers don't really have support for KMS
[23:18] <sl33k_> blackshirt: what to put in package-name-dev?
[23:18] <hobbsc> rbht: thank you
[23:18] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: I should add, I didnt have the problem with F13
[23:19] <rbht> hobbsc np, hopefully it works for you
[23:19] <blackshirt> sl33k_: not at all packages on debian-based has development packages..
[23:19] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: however if thats so, why didn't I have such problems with Mandriva?  probably getting  a bit off topic or whateve, but uhmm,  the open driver works fine for me with Plymouth with Fedora, but not with propritary Nivida driver
[23:20] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: anyway the Plymouth boot up issues with propritary drivers were pretty common with 10.04, but I think a little bit more fixed for 10.10, but people may still get the issues
[23:20] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: I suspect there are multiple problems around this issue
[23:20] <sl33k_> blackshirt: i am on ubuntu
[23:21] <blackshirt> sl33k_: yes, ubuntu was debian-based system
[23:21] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: the proper reason is that Nivida doesn't support Plymouth/KMS,  right, but what I said about Mandriva :D so hmm
[23:21] <blackshirt> sl33k_: what development packages you want to install ??
[23:21] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: also oh yeah you said ATI, well they have a similar issue with Plymouth as far as I know
[23:21] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: how does ubuntu "solve" the proprietary nvidia situation? something like fedora's rpmfusion (a 3rd party package repository)
[23:21] <sl33k_> blackshirt: for python
[23:22] <meoblast001> ugh
[23:22] <erUSUL> mac^^^: no; ubuntu has the nvidia drivers in multiverse afaik
[23:22] <Jordan_U> mac^^^: There is a "restricted" repository.
[23:22] <meoblast001> i'm considering just reinstalling my entire system
[23:22] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: I said I had NO probs with ATI
[23:22] <meoblast001> because of this one stupid file
[23:22] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: ok which card are you getting the problem with, Nivida? ATI?
[23:22] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: problems with nvidia
[23:23] <mickster04> mac^^^: i heard that nvidia has better support than ati?
[23:23] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: ok neither Ubuntu or Fedora, have a proper fix for it,  but  in my expereince on two computers and propritary Nivida driver,  Mandriva works absoutly fine for Plymouth :)
[23:23] <mickster04> mac^^^: what graphics card do you have?
[23:24] <Ginbuntu> hi
[23:24] <Ginbuntu> is there any good open source alternative to Mathematica/Maple for Linux?
[23:24] <erUSUL> Ginbuntu: (wx)Maxima
[23:24] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: also Fedora is meant to be free software only, and RPM Fusion is 3rd party, so good luck getting any issues fixed with it, I guess
[23:24] <mac^^^> mickster04: I have desktop computers at work and home, I had nvidia in both places running F13 but when putting F14 at work, after a full WEEK of frustration, I just went and bought a low end ATI Radeon card and had no problems at all
[23:25] <sebsebseb> Ginbuntu: oh Mathematica that program that well costs a lot of money? I mean well more than a lot of money
[23:25] <erUSUL> Ginbuntu: texmacs + axiom or maxima
[23:25] <sebsebseb> Ginbuntu: really expensive program?
[23:25] <sl33k_> blackshirt: is the -dev package same  for all ubuntu
[23:25] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: I like this free world but I guess there is no free lunch is there
[23:25] <ubuntu4shane> where do we get help with the nanny package in the repos?
[23:25] <sebsebseb> Ginbuntu: or maybe I am thinking of something else
[23:25] <aeon-ltd> mac^^^: unless you wanna walk from supermarket to supermarket eating samplers :)
[23:26] <blackshirt> sl33k_: try to search through synaptic package manager
[23:26] <mac^^^> aeon-ltd: it tastes better than microsoft
[23:26] <ubuntu4shane> their web site isn't very informative, only one place a mailing list
[23:26] <sl33k_> blackshirt: synaptic?
[23:26] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: 10.04 was horrile for me on other computer with Plymouth, major Nivida issues,  10.10 on here and the driver, well I would get the like text boot screen instead.   Fedora  I get well the bar if I got Nivida installed  instead of ts proper boot up.  and as I already said,  Mandriva no problem for both computers when came to that :D
[23:27] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: one would have to ask how did mandriva get it to work
[23:27] <aeon-ltd> mac^^^: win7 is a little nicer though, vista's pricing was insane. that was hard to swallow
[23:27] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: Nivida is closed source, they don't support xorg properly as well, hence certain issues
[23:28] <rbht> sebsebseb intel is open source. still leaks memory...
[23:28] <goltoof> sebsebseb:   i've had 1000 times better luck with nvidia than ubuntu,  i guess closed source has its benefits, idk
[23:28] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: yeah its differnet in Mandriva as well, or so it seems,  I mean its the graphical boot up, or hit esc for the text boot :D, but yeah thats still Plymouth so hmm
[23:28] <goltoof> sebsebseb:   *nvidia than ati
[23:28] <sebsebseb> goltoof: uhmm what do you mean by that exactly?
[23:28] <sebsebseb> goltoof: oh you mean Niviaa instea of ATI, yeah in genral Nivida is good, but there are Plymouth issues
[23:28] <goltoof> sebsebseb:   better luck with nvidia than ati
[23:29] <shcherbak> sebsebseb: there is fix for plymouth with ati or nvidia.
[23:29] <mac^^^> goltoof: i didnt have problems with nvidia before newest fedora but ATI caused me zero probs
[23:29] <Pokrak> Nvidia divers 4 ubuntu sux
[23:30] <sebsebseb> goltoof: also this is completly off topic, but currently Nivida have no plans to support wayland which will replace xorg in well many distros starting in 2012 by the earliest.  since they may have to open source their driver to support it or whatever, anyway quite a lot abou that on the web at the moment, if your interested
[23:30] <aeon-ltd> Pokrak: its the same for every distro
[23:30] <Pokrak> Same prolems
[23:30] <Pokrak> I know
[23:30] <blackshirt> sl33k_: try python2.4-dev or something other
[23:31] <goltoof> mac^^^:  my ati setup was a convoluted nightmare, but i eventually got it working 99%... that other 1% being the screen would occassionally turn into something from the matrix and my system would totally freeze,  no bueno
[23:31] <mac^^^> goltoof: perhaps you push it to the limit, I just do 2d stuff
[23:31] <Pokrak> Configurtion isawfoul
[23:31] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: hmm well  Fedora 13 and 14, not really that much difference, except for under the hood stuf and such.  its not like Ubuntu where their are actsaul  proper well end user changes that are seen, other than  a new background,  but now I am talking off topic hmm
[23:31] <dopefish124> hey friends
[23:32] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: there was a new version of xorg in f14
[23:32] <Buttons840> when i do a sudo kill -9 9876 and the process still continues, what else can i do besides rebooting?
[23:33] <shcherbak> Buttons840: what process?
[23:33] <i0c> kill its parent process
[23:33] <Buttons840> shcherbak: jackd
[23:33] <erUSUL> Buttons840: it may be a zombie or a process stuck in D state ... so rebooting is the only way
[23:33] <goltoof> mac^^^:  i wish i was into 3d stuff, getting there.. but yea even with nothing running it'd just freeze the whole screen... who knows why these things happen on diff ards
[23:33] <erUSUL> Buttons840: sometimes killing the parent process helps
[23:34] <Buttons840> erUSUL: the parent is process 1 i believe?
[23:34] <ravimaddula> hi my internal mic is not workinng  in ubuntunetmix meercat maveric edition
[23:34] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: yeah, but for Plymouth probably not  that many changes, compared to the old one.  so yeah Ubuntu and Fedora will =  Plymouth issues for you with the driver,  and that other distro I mentioned probably/maybe not.  and we can't help improve the Nivida driver,  and any fixes to try and get Nivida working a bit better with Plymouth aren't that good, and may cause worse problems. so hmm
[23:34] <Ginbuntu> Wxmaxima works great
[23:34] <erUSUL> Buttons840: then thats' no solution :)
[23:34] <dopefish124> i always wondered that, about processes :P
[23:35] <shcherbak> Buttons840: you should be able to finnish jack from System monitor or hotp.
[23:35] <erUSUL> Buttons840: someone i said the same here actually killed init
[23:35] <Buttons840> erUSUL: maybe jackd just wont work on this computer; but it often locks up and rebooting isn't a very timely solution every time
[23:35] <goltoof> Buttons840:   check pstree first to find parent processes
[23:35] <erUSUL> Buttons840: probably sound driver bug ( or jack ) tried installing alsa backports modules?
[23:35] <Buttons840> goltoof: i don't know how, i've done ps -ef | grep jack
[23:36] <meowsus> from the command line - using apt-get - is there a way to get basic information about a package without downloading it?
[23:36] <ge0rge> hello all
[23:36] <erUSUL> Buttons840: linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic ( or maverick )
[23:36] <erUSUL> meowsus: apt-cache show packagename
[23:36] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: there is a fix that works quite well, so you get a like  well black screen untill the log in, but then things look quite ugly as well really on boot so hmm
[23:36] <meowsus> erUSUL, thanks man!
[23:36] <Pokrak> U must use ps aux to select a pid
[23:37] <goltoof> Butq!
[23:37] <goltoof> :q!
[23:37] <goltoof> oops ..
[23:37] <goltoof> Buttons840:   pstree -p [username]
[23:37] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: most of my boxes run at RL3 so its not a problem on those but on my workstations (home & work) it matters a whole lot
[23:38] <danny_> hello
[23:38] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: Whats  RL3?
[23:38] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: Run Level 3 (no gui)
[23:38] <granda> I need a small help
[23:38] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: i.e. they are servers
[23:38] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: ok your on Ubuntu right now?
[23:39] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: at this very moment I"m on F13 with nvidia
[23:39] <Buttons840> erUSUL: why do i use the backports?
[23:39] <granda> Using Pinguy OS, I can't resize the icons on the docky
[23:39] <erUSUL> !runlevels | mac^^^
[23:39] <mac^^^> ubottu: thanks, I have learned something
[23:39] <sebsebseb> !thanks | mac^^^
[23:40] <mac^^^> ubottu: so what is the run level which comes up in command line
[23:40] <erUSUL> Buttons840: to get newer sound drivers. it may help ( or may not ) worth a try. easy to install/uninstall
[23:40] <erUSUL> mac^^^: runlevel 1; singleuser
[23:40] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: no you want to  ask that to the erUSUL bot, who isn't really a bot
[23:40] <erUSUL> mac^^^: recovery mode....
[23:40] <erUSUL> ^.^
[23:41] <mac^^^> is there a multiuser command line boot which is more than what we call singleuser?
[23:41] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: if you want the how to disable Plymouth themes in Ubuntu fix,  well  I can probably find it for you
[23:42] <erUSUL> mac^^^: recovery mode has a drop to root shell + networking that may be close to what you want. anyway nothing stops you from tweaking runlevel 3 to not launch Xorg ( or nowadays upstart )
[23:42] <mac^^^> sebsebseb: my curiosity was centered around nvidia and new linux distros
[23:42] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: since I got it saved in a file on my computer :D
[23:43] <mac^^^> erUSUL: maybe I'll run ubuntu just to try it
[23:43] <sebsebseb> mac^^^: Nivida propritary driver sucks with Plymouth useually  with Ubuntu and Fedora, its as simple as that
[23:44] <foobaru> So has anyone tested out wayland? Is it functional to any degree?
[23:44] <sebsebseb> foobaru: Fedora 15 will probably have  optional  support for it, and support that won't be that stable I guess, since wayland is still needing quite a lot of development really
[23:44] <Jmcver> is there anyway i can share my internet connection like in windows xp?
[23:44] <sebsebseb> foobaru: as for Ubuntu using it by default probably not untill 2012 by the earliest
[23:45] <erUSUL> !ics | Jmcver
[23:45] <sebsebseb> foobaru: as in after the next LTS
[23:47] <smw> sebikul, it will probably be the cause of the 2012 apocalypse.
[23:47] <sebsebseb> !ot | foobaru sebsebseb
[23:47] <foobaru> sebsebseb: Thanks :)
[23:48] <sebsebseb> foobaru: ok your welcome
u ther?
[23:49] <blackshirt> yes
[23:50] <mikha_> i m in the .purple
[23:50] <mikha_> what should i do ?
[23:51] <blackshirt> mikha_: are your pidgin works normally ?
[23:52] <cvance> I have an ubuntu server setup and I installed drupal via apt-get. It installed fine, but to www.domain.com/drupal6. I would like it installed to the root of www.domain.com, how can I change the configuration?
[23:53] <sebsebseb> cvance: ask in #ubuntu-server
[23:53] <cvance> sebsebseb thank you
[23:53] <sebsebseb> cvance: np
[23:53] <gabspeck> well i got HDMI audio working finally
[23:53] <gabspeck> in a kludgy way
[23:54] <gabspeck> disabled pulseaudio respawning, killed the process, set VLC to use ALSA output to the HDMI device
[23:55] <ZenGuy> I deleted a 12.5gb folder on my ext3 partition, I'm running photorec to try to recover the files. Can i run testdisk simultaneously?
[23:55] <sebsebseb> ZenGuy: uhmm
[23:55] <sebsebseb> ZenGuy: what kind of files?
[23:55] <ZenGuy> it was my downloads folder
[23:56] <sebsebseb> ZenGuy: photorec and testdisk are pretty much the same program, except as far as I know,  photorec is only really for recovering graphics, where as testdisk is for all types of data
[23:56] <ZenGuy> so music, text, pdf, zip, rar, zip. flash. avi, etc
[23:56] <sebsebseb> ZenGuy: and no you woudn't run both at the same time,  or woudn't try to do that useualley
[23:57] <sebsebseb> ZenGuy: also it may be better to run it from Windows if its on there, or  the actsaul testdisk CD
[23:57] <ZenGuy> sebsebseb: photorec does nto recover the original filenames
[23:57] <sebsebseb> ZenGuy: yes you like browse the folders that come up, and do a like full scan,  on test disk,  and then yes it may not recover some files with their proper names if I remember correctly
[23:57] <ZenGuy> yeah I even considered running another windows recovery app that will recover from linux partitions
[23:58] <sebsebseb> ZenGuy: and with test disk, should be able to scan for partitions that didn't come up at first, if there are any, and go in there, and start getting hold of your files
[23:58] <sebsebseb> ZenGuy: are you using this on Windows then?
[23:58] <ZenGuy> sebsebseb:  yeah on the program it saids ext2 but the program testdisk running gives me the option of ext3
[23:59] <pragmaticenigma> Howdy everyone
[23:59] <smw> howdy pragmaticenigma
[23:59] <ZenGuy> no i'm running a varient of ubuntu 9.04
[23:59] <sebsebseb> ZenGuy: test disk pretty much ignores file systems, but can open both Ext3 and Ext4, and yes like I was saying try test disk not photore
[23:59] <sebsebseb> c
[23:59] <pragmaticenigma> Does anyone have any suggestions on getting Ubuntu 10.10 going on a Dell C400
[23:59] <sebsebseb> !9.04 | ZenGuy
[23:59] <ZenGuy> sebsebseb: ok
