Shortyquick question01:16
Shortyi got 10.10 64bit installed on my system01:16
Shortyis there a way i can make a 32bit installation cd via my current system or do i need to download it01:17
Cheri703My understanding (which may be incorrect) is that you need to download it01:17
Shortyanyone?01:17
Shortyoh ok01:17
Cheri703I don't believe you can generate a livecd from an installed system01:18
Shortyshould i download it in windows since or does it matter01:18
Cheri703(again, someone may correct me)01:18
Cheri703doesn't matter, it's a full iso01:18

dentedfxpHello, As you can tell by my being here, I'm pretty new to this. I'm running Apache as a web server, and trying to figure out how to access my site files via ftp. I'm not getting very far.07:09
Puck`dentedfxp: welcome. You need to have an FTP server running on that machine too, like proftpd07:13
dentedfxpOK, so Apache doesn't come with then?07:14
dentedfxpcan I apt-get it?07:14
Puck`nope, apache is just a http server07:14
Puck`sure you can, apt-get install proftpd07:14
dentedfxpcool... I'll be back, more than likely, thank you07:15
Puck`the username and password for the connection will be then one you logged in to ubuntu, or the one you have for ubuntu07:15
dentedfxpmakes sense, I suppose07:15
dentedfxpthanks.07:15
Puck`for some it's not,s o i was just making sure before you bump in to it, but you're welcome (:07:16
dentedfxpOK, it says "ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd." Like I said, I'm new to this... do I launch it from the Terminal? Because I don't see it in my Applications drop-down.07:20

UndiFineDhello Prakhar15:12
Prakharhello ........15:12
UndiFineDwhat is the issue15:12
Prakhari am having intel PRO/Wireless 3945 and i have package iwl394515:13
Prakhari am trying to connect to my wireless router15:14
Prakharwith a connection named GURUSHIKHAR having dhcp server15:14
UndiFineDdoes your computer "see" the router ?15:15
Prakharon connecting through "iwconfig" i m able to connect and i m getting access point too.........15:16
UndiFineDok :)15:16
Prakharbut i am unable to ping any of the computers on the network15:16
UndiFineDmostlikely you did not recieve an ip from the router15:17
Prakharyes...........15:17
UndiFineDwhat is the output of: sudo ifconfig wlan015:17
UndiFineD!paste15:18

Prakharyou mean iwconfig wlan0?15:18
UndiFineDno ifconfig15:18
Prakharits showing my network's essid and access point15:18
Prakharactually right now i m unable to connect to internet on my ubuntu ............so i m using windows to access internet15:20
Prakhari m not using ubuntu right now ............. unable to paste output15:22
UndiFineDaha15:23
UndiFineDI was expecting something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/537497/15:25
UndiFineDinstead of my eth0 it would be your wlan0, with no ip15:25
UndiFineDwith ip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/537498/15:26
Cheri703I reinstalled ubuntu on my desktop the other day, and the same thing that has happened in the past happened again. For a while, everything is fine, and then for some reason, my home folder changes ownership to root...15:28
UndiFineDsudo chown -r cheri /home/cheri15:29
Cheri703yeah, I can do that, but I don't know WHY it's happening in the first place!15:29
Cheri703(and thanks :) )15:29
UndiFineDwhy ? I have seen strange thing happening with encrypted home directories15:30
Cheri703not encrypted15:30
UndiFineDdoes it happen often ? like once a week15:31
UndiFineDI am thinking of a crontab command that fails15:31
Cheri703no, just after every reinstall...not sure if some setting gets changed because I use pysdm to setu p the auto mount for my second hdd15:32
UndiFineDpossible backup issues15:32
UndiFineDreinstall yeah that will do it :) if your user changes user id's15:32
Cheri703well, my normal setup is: Ubuntu (with home folder) installed on a formatted 20gb hdd, all of my storage on a 320gb hdd that is linked to the other with symlinks in the home folder15:34
UndiFineDwhen you first install and create user cheri, it has userid 1001, on the seond install it might become userid 1002, denying you access to files own by non-existant or owned by user 100115:35
Cheri703Had full access to the home folder, then suddenly had the locks on them15:35
Cheri703second hdd is fine15:35
UndiFineDhere is an example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/537502/ user 108 and 135 run but have incorrect users in /etc/passwd15:37
Cheri703hmm...ok15:41
UndiFineDnow that i look closer, this might actually cause one of my problems, hal15:43
Cheri703heh15:44
Cheri703hey, UndiFineD, can I pm you?15:44

walkkennHi, when I set up Ubuntu on my netbook I partitioned 52GB of my hard drive for the windows original OS.  Is there a way I can repartition now and get more of that space for my Ubuntu?19:19
EleanorBackup, then try gparted to resize your Ubuntu partition19:21
Eleanor1st tme, worked well for me, second time all data went phut.19:22
walkkennWhich data?  I really don't care about anything on the windows side.19:23
Eleanoryour ubuntu partition data ... it can vanish, too19:24
walkkennHow do I back that up?19:24
Eleanorwalkkenn: Try this http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT2280165098.html19:27
walkkennThanks, reading it now19:33
walkkennI am running ubuntu 10.4, is that 32 or 64 bit19:36
aveilleuxwalkkenn: All Ubuntu versions come in 32- or 64-bit variations.19:40
aveilleuxwalkkenn: To get your architecture, open Terminal and run uname -r19:40
walkkennI am probably running 32 but I just want to be sure.  How can you tell?19:40
aveilleuxwalkkenn: I just said how19:41
Eleanorwalkkenn: Backup specific to Ubuntu here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 but the other link is a fantastic system, hoever, you may have to tweak the instructions for your particular setup19:42
walkkennIt says: 2.6.32-25-generic  I assuming that means 32 bit19:46
aveilleuxuname -r returned that?19:47
aveilleuxwalkkenn: try uname -a19:47
yofelwalkkenn: what does uname -a say??19:47
yofel-?19:47
walkkennLinux HAL2 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 19:48:22 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux19:49
bioterrori686 = 32bit19:50
aveilleuxwalkkenn: x86 is 32-bit, so if you se i486 or i686 then it means 32-bit19:53
aveilleuxwalkkenn: x86_64 is 64-bit19:53
walkkennOK, thanks19:54
EleanorCan someone please tell me how to fix this error message that just started popping up when installing software?  ¨update-binfmts: warning: /usr/share/binfmts/cli: no executable /usr/bin/cli found, but continuing anyway as you request¨19:54
EleanorAll I can find from a google hunt is people who also have developed my problem, but none who have solved it - is that a common experience or am I missing something?20:00
stlsaintEleanor: strange error20:01
aveilleuxEleanor: Does it prevent anything from being installed?20:01
thewrathhey guys20:03
thewrathwow i was in the wrong channel20:03
EleanorThings seem to install alright - but it looks like such an ominous warning ...20:04
Eleanorcli = command line interpreter, right - doesn´t my friend bash need that?20:05
aveilleuxEleanor: Yes but BASH is the CLI.20:08
Eleanorstlsaint: all my errors are strnge - my computer does not know how to have ordinary ones20:08
Eleanoraveilleux: well, it is still there - we were just chatting20:08
EleanorI thought bash was a shell that instructed a cli at a lower level20:10
thewrathaveilleux and Eleanor, no bash is not a CLI20:10
thewrathEleanor, you are correct20:10
EleanorI remember talking hex to an early Unix cli and then came Korn and we all were relieved20:11
thewrathright20:11
thewrathwindows also has a CLI20:11
Eleanorthe cli handles system calls like stat(), doesn´t it?20:13
thewrathstat is used in what language20:13
EleanorPOSIX function20:13
thewrathi beleive so yes20:19
EleanorAfter a decade of (urrgggh) of MS-hits it is good to get down to the nitty gritty of computing again, but the GNU/Linux learning curve is still steep at first - you folk are such a help20:23

gnumerousMy primary ubuntu 10.10 desktop is no longer turning on the ethernet, when i reboot it does have blinking lights on the adapter but before i can long in the power lights go dead. I tried a few ifup / ifdown and other commands but now don't have ideas on how to turn on the adapter, need help and direction for further testing22:02
bioterrorsudo dhclient eth022:03
bioterrorgnumerous, try that in terminal22:04
gnumerousbioterror: okay, will run to that machine22:04
gnumerousbioterror: the dhclient ran and ended up with no dhcpoffers.  i also double checked and the ethernet cable is plugged in snug.22:08

bioterrorsomething wrong with the kernel then22:11
bioterrorwhat does dmesg say?22:11
gnumerousjust so i know what your asking, you want me to run dmsg command and paste to the ubutnu-past or where you asking about the eth0 current settings?22:12
Cheri703gnumerous: have you tried disconnecting wireless *within ubuntu, not the cord* and waiting til the message clears, and then reconnecting it?22:14
gnumerouscheri703: I am not clear on what you mean by disconnecting. i used the ifup and ifdown, is there a different command i should try?22:16
Cheri703are you using gnome?22:17
gnumerousyes22:17
Cheri703ok, if you click on the network icon and choose disconnect (perhaps that's the same as ifup and ifdown, I dunno)22:17
Cheri703my wireless does a thing where it won't connect after sleep, and disconnecting and leaving it for a minute, and then reconnecting seems to help :/22:18

ultushhi thewrath, new to Ubuntu and IRC, will lurk for a while23:57
thewrathlol yeedl23:57
thewrathif it is mounted df  -kh should see it23:57
thewrathit will have ot be formatted first i beleive23:57
thewrathso much extra space do you want to allocate to /home?23:58
thewrathI see you have 84G total for /home and 21G used leaving 59G left23:58
thewrathhey nit-wit23:59
thewrathpaultag, we need to have what accounts set up?23:59
thewrathlike on launchpad, etc?23:59
yofelwalkkenn: can you pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' so we have the partition layout?23:59
nit-witthewrath, hey23:59
walkkennOK, I was making the assumption that that would be the appropriate place for it.  I want the space to be used by ubuntu should I allocate it somewhere else?23:59
