SPooNJulia looks so damn sexy00:28
forer_Hey guys, I have on my other computer settings for my e-mail and emails I'd like to transfer to my ubuntu box. Email client is thunderbird00:42
forer_is there any way of transfering emails and settings?00:43
SPooNdownload Thunderbird.00:43
SPooNit'll work on Linux!00:43
* SPooN yay00:43
forer_I didn't want to use thunderbird on this computer though00:43
forer_unless the ubuntu thing in the top right actually will let that work00:43
aveilleuxforer_: I don't think you can transfer between clients like that.00:44
forer_I hear it works commonly with everything [BUT] thunderbird00:44
aveilleuxforer_: The Messaging Center works fine with Thunderbird00:44
forer_oh, snazzy00:44
aveilleuxforer_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/how-to-add-thunderbird-to-the-ubuntu-messaging-menu/00:44
SPooNI never use the Broadcast accounts...00:44
forer_thanks00:44
SPooNdon't get how it works00:45
aveilleuxSPooN: I don't use them either, I actually don't use the messaging icon at all00:46
SPooNI technically logged into facebook with it, but I never get any notifications from it00:47
forer_I don't plan on using the broadcaster but the email I rarely check and I'm hoping it gives indications of new e-mails00:47
aveilleuxforer_: Thunderbird has FireTray, you can use that instead.00:48
forer_huh00:48
aveilleuxforer_: It's a plugin for Thunderbird that lets it minimize into the tray00:48
forer_cool00:48
forer_is there a package for it?00:48
forer_and how would I remove the messaging icon then?00:49
aveilleuxforer_: Um, it's a Thunderbird plugin. Go to Tools > Add-Ons and click Find Add Ons and install Firetray.00:49
aveilleuxforer_: To get rid of the messaging icon, you have to remove the... uh.. app it's contained in. I forget the name. But right-click > remove from panel. You'll lose your volume control app BUT there's a way to get that back.00:50
forer_that's fine00:51
forer_I'm on a laptop with fn+volume up and fn+volume down that works00:51
aveilleuxforer_: I can walk you through that if you want00:51
aveilleuxokay00:51
forer_so I don't use them00:51
forer_also just to doublecheck00:53
forer_I'm not expecting anyone to do an indepth doctorial essay on why this will or will not work but at a quick glance I should be able to just do this in reverse right? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89361700:53
aveilleuxforer_: Yes, that works.00:53
aveilleuxforer_: Although if it's from Vista or 7 (not XP) the location is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird00:54
forer_sorry stepped out a bit01:16
forer_and yeah it's 7, I'll find that quick01:16
forer_Sorry, remind me, apparently the thunderbird folder is /home/%user%/.thunderbird01:20
forer_the . means it's hidden right?01:20
forer_how do I access it in a file browser?01:20
head_victimforer_: yes you usually have to press control + h01:20
forer_thanks01:20
aveilleuxforer_: You can also type ctrl+L and type the /.whatever01:21
forer_ahh, works fine now. thanks guys01:23
SPooNanyone know any good VM's that work on 10.10?01:31
aveilleuxSPooN: Uh, VirtualBox.01:31
SPooNhow do you run executable files...01:37
antinatterWhat is ubuntu?01:44
pleia2the ubuntu referred to here is an operating system01:44
antinatterOh thanks01:46
antinatterWhat's it used for?01:46
mbergamoSPooN: May I ask what you are trying to install? You can usually find the same (or a similarly suitable) program that is made for GNU/Linux systems such as Ubuntu.01:47
SPooNI'm trying to run unetbootin01:47
SPooNStartup Disk Creator seems to be working though01:48
SPooNsooner or later I need to learn to use a VM to test this stuff instead of rebooting constantly...01:48
aveilleuxSPooN: um... executable files are specific to the operating system. If it's a Linux executable, it's referred to as a "binary".01:49
mbergamoSPooN: If there is only an .exe you can use Wine01:49
pleia2SPooN: if it's not in the menu anywhere, you can just open a terminal and type: unetbootin01:49
aveilleuxSPooN: Did you not see my suggestion to use VirtualBox above?01:49
SPooNyes, unsure as to how to get it to work though01:49
mbergamoSPooN: www.winehq.org/download/deb01:49
aveilleuxSPooN: What's confusing you?01:49
aveilleuxSPooN: You hit "new", select the OS, mount the startup disc (in the machine properties) and boot to the CD. Then the virtual machine runs just like a normal computer, but it's virtual.01:50
SPooNOracle VM VirtualBOx right?01:50
SPooNwhat OS do you want to chose? mint 10 doesn't show up01:50
SPooNaveilleux^^01:51
aveilleuxSPooN: Mint is based on Ubuntu.01:51
SPooNso ubuntu 64bit?01:52
aveilleuxSPooN: Whatever version you're using, yes.01:52
SPooNok01:52
SPooNdo I want to Boot Hard Disk > Create new disk?01:53
antinatterIs ubuntu used for any particular devices?01:53
aveilleuxSPooN: Uh, yes.01:53
SPooNantinatter... Laptops?01:53
aveilleuxantinatter: Ubuntu is an operating system. It runs on the same hardware as Windows and Apple OSX.01:54
aveilleuxantinatter: Think of it as being a replacement for Windows.01:54
SPooNdynamically expanding or fixed? (you see that I have no idea what I'm doing here right)01:54
antinatterOk thanks01:54
aveilleuxSPooN: Just pick the default options.01:54
aveilleuxantinatter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_OS  When in doubt, Wikipedia.01:54
antinatterThanks aveilleux01:54
aveilleuxSPooN: When you choose the OS in the first step, the options are selected for you. You can choose all of the default options and run without trouble.01:55
SPooNaveilleux: it doesn't let me choose the USB to boot off of?01:56
aveilleuxSPooN: What? Why are you trying to boot off of USB? You don't need to. You can boot into the disc image you downloaded from the Mint wensite.01:56
aveilleuxwebsite*01:56
SPooNhow...01:57
aveilleuxSPooN: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox01:57
SPooNthank you.01:58
SPooNSorry I"m clueless :P01:58
SPooNaveilleux I still don't get it... No idea where you can enter in to get the .iso to boot off of02:03
aveilleuxSPooN: Open up the VM's settings and go to Storage. Select the CD drive, hit the folder icon. Browse.02:04
SPooNaveilleux: doesn't work02:05
SPooN/home/alexandre/Desktop/unetbootin-linux-49402:05
SPooNcrap02:05
aveilleux....02:05
aveilleuxYou should not be selecting anything from unetbootn.02:05
aveilleuxThis is completely unrelated to unetbootn.02:06
SPooNailed to open the CD/DVD image /home/alexandre/Desktop/unetbootin-linux-494.02:06

aveilleuxnot a problem*02:08
SPooNhmm microphone doesn't work in Mint.02:09
SPooNcan you dual boot Mint and Ubuntu?02:15
aveilleuxSPooN: Considering they're both Linux distributions? Yes.02:17
SPooNwell I mean I knew you could dualboot X/Windows + Linux. wasn't sure about two linux at once02:17
SPooNis the VM supposed to be so small aveilleux?02:18
aveilleuxSPooN: I assume by "small" you mean "low-resolution". Yes, that's how Linux is without graphics drivers.02:18
SPooNok. once I install or dualboot off of USB would it be normal res?02:19
SPooNhmm it keeps randomly crashing02:20
SPooNSPooN is now AWAY02:20
aveilleuxSPooN: Uh, what? Booting off USB isn't dual-booting.02:22
SPooNSPooN is now BACK02:32
SPooNaveilleux: what is dualbooting to you?02:33
aveilleuxSPooN: "Dual booting" means to install two operating systems side-by-side on the same host machine. Booting off of a USB stick or CD does not constitute dual-booting.02:34
Mohan_chmlSPooN, For a beginner, it is difficult to shift to Ubuntu on a single day. so When one is with M$ or MAC for more than years, we first advise them to try Live CD, then install Ubuntu as a dual boot so that they can shift to the other OS if any urge. and when one thinks he/she don't need the previous OS, they can make a single boot =]02:37
Mohan_chmlHola aveilleux02:38
aveilleuxHello Mohan_chml02:38
Mohan_chmlaveilleux, we were talking to each other and not to him :D02:40
SPooNk so mint is looking pretty awesome.03:01
SPooNjust that in VM it crashes quit a bit hope thats only VM03:01

jmgallowayanyone in here good with ssh?16:56
Mohan_chmljmgalloway, just ask and the someone will answer you16:56
aveilleuxjmgalloway: What about it?16:56
jmgallowayim am getting this error:  Received disconnect from 192.168.1.100: 2: Too many authentication failures for clcuser16:57
aveilleuxjmgalloway: That means the password is incorrect, and whatever client you're using is trying to enter the incorrect password too many times.16:58
jmgallowayright16:58
jmgallowayhow do I reset it?16:58
aveilleuxjmgalloway: What client are you using?16:58
jmgallowayI have access to the remote machine16:58
jmgallowayclient?  openssh16:58
jmgallowayterminal16:58
aveilleuxjmgalloway: So just ssh.16:59
jmgallowayyep16:59
aveilleuxjmgalloway: Are you making sure the syntax is correct? ssh user@ip.add.ress ?16:59
jmgallowayyes16:59
jmgallowayI have setup a passwordless ssh using rsa key exchanges17:00
jmgallowaythe problem is...I cant ssh from a specific machine.  the remote computer can be ssh'd into from other machines.17:00
aveilleuxjmgalloway: That would do it. The RSA public and private keys don't match,17:00
jmgallowayso I have to regenerate a new rsa key?17:01
aveilleuxjmgalloway: I guess. I'm not very well-versed in RSA key authentication, password authentication has never failed me17:02
jmgallowaythat also doesnt work.  usually I would just ssh into the machine and give the pw each time...but that became a hassle so I setup a passwordless ssh using rsa and it worked for a while...now I cant ssh at all17:03
jmgallowaywell I cant ssh from this machine...I have a backup machine on the same subnet, and I can ssh from that machine no problem.17:04

robs2Hello everyone22:23
robs2I have a question I'm hoping someone might be willint to comment on22:23
robs2<robs2> Recently, I converted,  or attempted to conver an rpm package to debian by using alien.  However,  the resulting debian files did not contain a  .deb  extension.  And I cannot get the newly converted package to install.  Any ideas from anyone would be helpful.  thanks22:23
nlsthzn... have you tried just giving it a .deb extension yourself?22:25
robs2Yes.  That did not work.  Thanks for suggesting it, though  :)22:25
nlsthznrobs2: Was worth a shot... I know nothing of alien so I will get back to lurking...22:29
yofelrobs1: can you tell us how to get the rpm in question? it would help if we could see what goes wrong ourselves22:30
robs1yoefe1...I could ftp the file to you;  it is actually a tar file22:49
yofelrobs1: afaik alien can't do anything with tar files, it needs to be an .rpm22:51
robs1yes I understand that.  But the tar file contains the rpm files that I am trying to convert to .debian using the alien command.22:52
robs1I believe you asked me earlier if there was a way that I could get it to you or something like that22:52
yofelhm, maybe later, I really need to go to bed now, sry22:52

jahbulonneed some advices22:57
jahbulonsome1 wanna help meout22:57
nlsthznjahbulon: can't help if you don't ask ;)22:57
jahbulon:)22:57
jahbulonok .. so ... i have a sound card .. assus xonar d2 .. and i can't use digital output22:58
jahbulonxonar d222:58
jahbulonand i don't know how to install alsa 1.0.1622:59
jahbuloni heard that it could solve the problemes22:59
nlsthznwhat have you tried?23:02
jahbulon       cd /usr/src23:03
jahbulonmkdir alsa23:04
jahbuloncan't create23:04
jahbulonfile23:04
jahbulonthisisthe end23:05
jahbulon:(23:05
aveilleuxjahbulon: Of course you can't create a file in /usr/src. You don't have write permissions to that directory.23:05
nlsthznjahbulon:  http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776279 have a look and also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72643823:05
aveilleuxjahbulon: Are you trying to build the driver from source?23:05
jahbuloni will check it ...23:07
nlsthznwell... with sudo you could write to /usr/src... however, I would suggest putting your source fieles someplace in ~23:07
bioterrorif you need those sources only for a while, /tmp is a good place23:08
bioterrorother wise /usr/local/src is a correct place to store them23:09
bioterror /usr/local/ is for your stuff23:09
jahbulonwitch is better23:10
jahbulon?23:10
nlsthznjahbulon: IMO it doesn't matter... once compiled and installed the source isn't required (stricty speaking, but I did read one place you need it to remove the installation later... but stand corrected)23:11
jahbulonnow it is installing23:12
jahbuloni have also an on board sound card how can i disable it ?23:14
nlsthznjahbulon: BIOS?23:16
jahbulonok thanks23:16
jahbuloni must reboot for changes to apply ?23:17
aveilleuxjahbulon: In BIOS? Usually, yeah23:18
jahbulon thanks for the support23:19
stlsainthey did i show up as cloaked when i joined?23:40
pedro3005* stlsaint (~stlsaint@ubuntu/member/stlsaint) has joined #ubuntu-beginners23:41
pleia2stlsaint: no, you should use a server password when connecting to freenode23:41
pleia2rather than identifying with nickserv after connecting23:41
stlsaintpleia2: when did this change come about?23:41
pleia2nhandler can say for sure, but I've used a server password for years23:42
pleia2it got a bit more obnoxious with the ircd replacement earlier this year (join/quit/join)23:43
