[18:38] <pokerface> were oidentd keeps files
[18:38] <blink> !word
[18:38] <micols> rob: ah.. it was for dany sorry :)  , I would compile lkl with -ggdb then you can debug it with gdb like (gdb ./lkl ; file lkl; !r) and it will tell you where it segvs when it dies
[18:38] <a931bw> Guys
[18:38] <micols> else valgrind ./lkl might be able to as well
[18:38] <a931bw> i'm using MPD as music player. and GMPC to control it.
[18:38] <pokerface> were oidentd keeps files
[18:38] <a931bw> when i'm trying to compile plugin for gmpc
[18:38] <a931bw> i get
[18:38] <a931bw> No package 'libmpd' found
[18:38] <a931bw> No package 'gmpc' found
[18:38] <a931bw> error
[18:38] <FloodBot1> a931bw: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:38] <a931bw> while configuring
[18:39] <histo> blink: osalt.com is another great source
[18:39] <micols> rob: but before recompiling an strace ./lkl might be able to tell you if it segvs due to missing files on your system
[18:39] <histo> a931bw: do you ahve those packages installed?
[18:39] <cap> hey guys.  My the sound on my machine stopped working.  I've tested my speakers with other sources and  they work fine.  How can I go about determining whats wrong?
[18:39] <christopher> hi
[18:39] <rob> micols,  thanx for your advice but i figured it out :) i forgot to determine what layout lkl should use :$ i used /lkl/keymaps
[18:39] <rob> without the layout
[18:39] <a931bw> histo, i'm using mpd and gmpc
[18:39] <a931bw> so i do have them
[18:39] <histo> a931bw: do you have libmpd?
[18:40] <CrzyCDN> Can anyone help me see the 'CUBE' - my attemts get nothing
[18:40] <histo> a931bw: also you may need the dev packages.  Look at whatever directions that come with the plugin
[18:40] <histo> CrzyCDN: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:40] <bonjoyee> thinkfire: also ls -l /srv?
[18:40] <abbbbbbx> sudo apt-get install ccsm
[18:40] <CrzyCDN> histo - did that
[18:40] <OerH> a931bw, install 'libmpd-dev' and 'gmpc-dev'

[18:41] <histo> CrzyCDN: then just configure the cube
[18:41] <kreuter> hi #ubuntu.  is there a way to for a package to prevent 'apt-get upgrade' from restarting a service when the package gets upgraded? (I've got users who want to minimize downtime, and want the restart to be something they do manually, but can't figure out how to do that for them.)
[18:41] <h0ho> how do i reinstall "ls"?
[18:41] <a931bw> oerh thanks
[18:41] <CrzyCDN> histo - did that too
[18:41] <histo> h0ho: it's installed by default
[18:41] <histo> h0ho: part of ubuntu-base i'm sure
[18:42] <bonjoyee> thinkfire : try sharing something in you /home...see if that works?
[18:42] <abbbbbbx> h0ho: why re-install it?
[18:42] <histo> h0ho: or ubuntu-minimal
[18:42] <h0ho> i know but i was fiddling about with the binarys in /bin and its not working properly, so do i just do apt-get reinstall ls?
[18:42] <micols> kreuter: I don't think there is such a thing, but you can put the package on hold to manually upgrade it when you want
[18:42] <histo> h0ho: not sure what it's part of let me look
[18:43] <h0ho> k thanks histo :)
[18:43] <nirazio> How to install ochem for texlive??
[18:43] <abbbbbbx> apt-get install ls will not work
[18:43] <histo> h0ho: coreutils
[18:43] <h0ho> thanks so, "apt-get reinstall coreutils"?
[18:43] <histo> abbbbbbx: no
[18:43] <histo> h0ho: yes
[18:43] <h0ho> thanks :D
[18:43] <thinkfire> bonjoyee, Nope, still no go
[18:43] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, what??

[18:45] <brukutu> Hi guys.  any1 can help me? everytime i remove my    laptop PSU, computer goes to sleep
[18:46] <bonjoyee> thinkfire:seems ok ...what happens when sharing a folder in your home /home/thinkfire?
[18:46] <Typh> Can anyone help me with this? It's been happening since I upgrade to 10.10 http://dpaste.com/286245/
[18:46] <thevishy> how can I add some custom scripts to be executed when I start my open box session
[18:46] <mneptok> brukutu: PSU, or power cable? because if you remove the actual power supply from a machine, yeah, it will "sleep."  ;)
[18:46] <stiang> my version of git seems to be stuck at 1:1.5.4.3-1ubuntu2.1, which I believe is quite old. how can I use apt-get to get a newer version?
[18:46] <sam-_-> brukutu, maybe your battery is broken
[18:47] <thinkfire> I can connect to dropkick (ubuntu box) and I see the shared printers, just no folders that I supposedly setup to share using the "shared folders" option under the System menu in Gnome
[18:47] <histo> !info python-pkg-resources
[18:47] <arnotixe__> Typh, did you try sudo dpkg --configure -a?
[18:47] <thinkfire> System -> Administration -> Share Folders
[18:47] <blackshirt> Typh: maybe, package was corrupt
[18:47] <Typh> arnotixe__: I did, same error
[18:48] <histo> thinkfire: what are you trying to connect from?
[18:48] <arnotixe__> Typh, hm the message say something about missing file...
[18:48] <Typh> blackshirt: what can I do about it? I've tried removing with purge and reinstalling, no difference
[18:48] <bonjoyee>  thinkfire: right click a folder in your home folder...click sharing..what happens?
[18:48] <thinkfire> When I reinstalled Samba 2.3, I lost my "file sharing" option when I right click a folder
[18:48] <thinkfire> histo, vista
[18:48] <histo> thinkfire: does smbtree show the share?
[18:48] <lucas-arg> thinkfire, use /etc/samba/smb.conf its easier and works even if u aint logged in
[18:49] <cap> can anyone help out with a sound issue?
[18:49] <histo> !sound > cap
[18:49] <thinkfire> lucas-arg I tried using so many tutorials using that message, its not even funny how much time I wasted
[18:49] <kreuter> UnholyTerror: so I make a package of service foo.  the user wants to upgrade to the new version of the package, but doesn't want that upgrade to automatically restart the service.
[18:49] <thinkfire> message = method
[18:49] <thinkfire> smbtree?
[18:49] <thinkfire> not installed, let me install smbtree
[18:50] <brukutu> lol mneptok. i mean the power cable
[18:50] <bonjoyee>  thinkfire, try doing it manually on vista...
[18:50] <blackshirt> Typh: try with aptitude
[18:50] <histo> brukutu: system > preferences > Power management
[18:50] <pokerface> why oidentd not work on my ubuntu?
[18:50] <tyrone> hi people, noob question. how do I get ubuntu to let me edit a config file. at the moment I think my privilege level is too low and I don't know how to do the operations from the terminal using sudo or something like that
[18:50] <bonjoyee> net use x: \\ip_of_ubuntu_server\\share_name
[18:50] <lucas-arg> thinkfire, make sure u install libpamsmb or sometrhing like that then add your user sudo smbpass -a user
[18:50] <histo> brukutu: check out the on battery tab
[18:50] <thinkfire> bonjoyee, cannot access \dropkick\shares\
[18:51] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, so they want to manually restart... then they just need to do their updates manually. Like when they are done for the day.
[18:51] <histo> !sudo > tyrone
[18:51] <herghost> tyrone: use gksu gedit /path/to/file
[18:51] <Typh> blackshirt: same error.
[18:51] <tyrone> herghost: thanks!
[18:51] <bonjoyee> thinkfire: try that in a terminal in windows..
[18:52] <kreuter> UnholyTerror: got it.  thanks.
[18:52] <brukutu> lol mneptok. i mean the power cable/
[18:52] <brukutu> yea histo, what abt it?
[18:52] <nirazio> How to install ochem for texlive??
[18:53] <thinkfire> same thing in terminal using net view \\dropkick\
[18:53] <thinkfire> just the printers, not the folders
[18:53] <histo> brukutu: that will control what your laptop does when running on battery. So you can stop it from suspending
[18:53] <histo> thinkfire: on the linux box try smbtree
[18:53] <brukutu> its like instant histo....as i unplug it will sleep....
[18:53] <histo> thinkfire: sudo smbtree
[18:53] <hd1> hmm... weird, on my asus 1005ha, it seems that the num lock has been pressed and i can't seem to get it off, rebooting doesn't help either, any ideas?
[18:53] <thinkfire> histo,  its not install and aptitude does not install it when requesting
[18:53] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, the service will only be down while *that* package is updated... not the whole update process.
[18:53] <histo> brukutu: okay and what is the setting for batter suspend?
[18:53] <bonjoyee>  thinkfire: did u try the ip address and not the hostname..
[18:54] <thinkfire> E: Couldn't find package smbtree
[18:54] <brukutu> how do i get to that batteyr tab from terminal?
[18:54] <thinkfire> hostname is working fine, I can still see printers, trying IP instead
[18:54] <MTrain> hey guys real quick question how do i run an rpm file in ubuntu
[18:54] <thinkfire> same thing with IP
[18:54] <thinkfire> just the shared printers
[18:55] <kreuter> UnholyTerror: right, right.  I mean, in principle you could imagine a package system that worked the other way, but that's what dpkg does.
[18:55] <histo> thinkfire: well it's part of samba so you should have it if you are sharing something
[18:55] <histo> thinkfire: also if you type in sudo smbtree it will tell you the package you need to install
[18:55] <thinkfire> I didnt fine libpamsmb in synaptic
[18:55] <thinkfire> trying apt
[18:55] <thinkfire> histo, see above
[18:55] <thinkfire> E: Couldn't find package smbtree
[18:55] <thinkfire> when using sudo apt-get install smbtree
[18:55] <histo> thinkfire: that isn't the name of the package
[18:55] <histo> thinkfire: what is the output of sudo smbtree
[18:56] <monkeybox> MTrain, maybe use Alien
[18:56] <thevishy> folkx
[18:56] <thinkfire> smbclient is name of package
[18:57] <thinkfire> using apt-get install smbclient I get
[18:57] <thinkfire> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[18:57] <thinkfire> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[18:57] <histo> thinkfire: because you have update manager or synaptic running
[18:57] <sam-_-> thinkfire, close synaptic
[18:57] <thinkfire> closed, that worked
[18:57] <thinkfire> installing via apt
[18:57] <stiang> anybody know how I can install a version of git that’s newer than 1.5.4.3 using apt-get? is there some repository I can add that has newer versions?
[18:58] <thinkfire> ok now I have to reconfigure again
[18:58] <histo> stiang: maybe a ppa somewhere
[18:58] <thinkfire> everything is back to default
[18:58] <histo> thinkfire: reconfigure what again?
[18:58] <thinkfire> samba
[18:59] <thinkfire> after installing smbclient via apt, everything has changed back to default
[18:59] <thinkfire> smbtree works now though
[18:59] <sam-_-> stiang, https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa
[18:59] <thinkfire> http://pastebin.com/UqQmKGxy  <---output of smbtree
[19:00] <histo> thinkfire: well are you shares there?
[19:00] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html
[19:00] <thinkfire> still no sharing option when I right click a folder
[19:00] <ggreene> i just built a ubuntu router. is the a program that will allow me to connect computer to computer with out useing cross over cables?
[19:00] <thinkfire> histo, nope, just the shared printers
[19:00] <histo> thinkfire: also two different workgroups maybe an issue
[19:01] <thinkfire> dropkick it the ubuntu box
[19:01] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, 7.6
[19:01] <thinkfire> yeah I have to fix that because reinstalling smb reset it
[19:01] <sam-_-> thinkfire, sudo apt-get nautilus-share is installed?
[19:01] <histo> thinkfire: yeah but do you see the share lists under dropkick on smbtree?  are the shares you "can't see" there or not?
[19:01] <thinkfire> nope, just the shared printers, no folders
[19:02] <thinkfire> sam, sec installing
[19:02] <histo> thinkfire: how did you configure these shares?
[19:02] <sam-_-> sam, or forgot install
[19:02] <SeanTater> I have a remote control that I thought would work with lirc. But I stopped the lirc daemon and it still works! What else supports remotes and how can I configure them?
[19:03] <kreuter> micols: how do you put a package on hold?
[19:03] <brukutu> so any ideas? un[lug powercord netbook goes to sleep straight a away?
[19:03] <sam-_-> kreuter, in synaptic you can pin a package to a specific version
[19:04] <thinkfire> sam, installed, still no sharing option when right clicking a folder
[19:04] <histo> thinkfire: logout and back in
[19:04] <sam-_-> thinkfire logged out and in again?
[19:04] <histo> thinkfire: or restart nautilus
[19:04] <sam-_-> histo, dito :-)
[19:04] <thinkfire> restart nautilus how?
[19:04] <brukutu> killall -9 nautilus
[19:04] <histo> thinkfire: killall nautilus
[19:04] <sam-_-> pkill -9 nautilus
[19:04] <ggreene> is there a program that will allow me to connect computer to computer with out useing cross over cables?
[19:05] <sam-_-> histo, y. better
[19:05] <stiang> histo and sam-_- : thanks, that worked great!
[19:05] <histo> clear
[19:05] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, ???
[19:05] <thinkfire> its there!
[19:05] <thinkfire> *gasp*
[19:05] <brukutu> so any ideas? un[lug powercord netbook goes to sleep straight a away?
[19:06] <bonjoyee> ggreene: have a router!!
[19:06] <histo> brukutu: did you check the options I told you?
[19:06] <thinkfire> ok so next problem
[19:06] <ggreene> bonjoyee, yes i just built a ubuntu router
[19:06] <sam-_-> brukutu, check the logs what triggered it?
[19:06] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, did you catch that link?
[19:06] <thinkfire> when using file sharing option by right clickig, its telling me we can only share folders we own
[19:06] <brukutu> gtg. check later :) shot for all the help
[19:06] <kreuter> UnholyTerror: oh, I see.  I hadn't scrolled down.
[19:07] <histo> brukutu: system > Prefercenes > On Battery Power and look at theactions
[19:07] <sam-_-> thinkfire, so?
[19:07] <ggreene> bonjoyee, the network works fine i just would like to eliminate the switch if possible
[19:07] <thinkfire> so its failing to share that directory
[19:07] <ziftex> Sorry for offtopic, But is there any openoffice channels here on freenode?
[19:07] <thinkfire> netshare failed
[19:07] <thinkfire> restricted to share only folders you own
[19:07] <ziftex> Got a question for openoffice.org calc.
[19:07] <thinkfire> how do I root
[19:07] <bonjoyee>  thinkfire: add "user share owner only = false" to /etc/samba/smb.conf
[19:07] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, I imagine those scripts actually start/stop services during the update process...
[19:07] <histo> thinkfire: what folder are you trying to share?
[19:08] <thinkfire> bonjoyee, which section?
[19:08] <histo> bonjoyee: don't even need that if you just add the share in smb.conf manually
[19:08] <sam-_-> ziftex, #Openoffice.org
[19:08] <bonjoyee>  thinkfire: in the global section...it should be on the error message window itself
[19:08] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, If I would have read I would have that's exactly what it says.
[19:09] <Typh> Can anyone help me with this? It's been happening since I upgrade to 10.10 http://dpaste.com/286245/ I can't seem to install python packages, and am fearing I'll have to reinstall ubuntu
[19:09] <ziftex> sam-_-, thanks.
[19:09] <histo> Typh: can you purge that package?
[19:09] <redGoat> Typh: I always hate upgrading.
[19:09] <Typh> histo: I have, same error when I reinstall
[19:09] <thinkfire> bonjoyee, that worked
[19:09] <thinkfire> checking from vista
[19:09] <mouka> How do I get back my desktop after I close (I think laptop goes to stand by) the lid of my laptop?
[19:10] <thinkfire> its there!
[19:10] <bonjoyee> thinkfire: hope u restarted samba service?
[19:10] <histo> Typh: can you purge the package?
[19:10] <kreuter> UnholyTerror: I think you're mistaken.  the postinst script sets things up, but doesn't actually restart things.
[19:10] <bonjoyee> sorry late..
[19:10] <thinkfire> I didnt restart services, maybe it was automatic?
[19:10] <mouka> I tried ctrl+alt+backspace, but it doesn't restart the X server
[19:10] <Typh> histo: uh... pardon? As I just said, I have.
[19:10] <histo> !dontzap | mouka
[19:10] <PhilipPhilip> Please help, my ubuntu is borked.
[19:10] <thinkfire> now I am unable to login to that folder share
[19:11] <histo> Typh: no you said it happens when you reinstall purging is different remove configs and everything for the package
[19:11] <PhilipPhilip> Can someone help me my ubuntu is borked?
[19:11] <thinkfire> using login credentials I use on my ubuntu box, I cannot login to the shares
[19:11] <bonjoyee> thinkfire: " sudo smbpasswd -a thinkfire"
[19:11] <Typh> histo: I also said that "I have". As in "I have purged."
[19:11] <bonjoyee> bonjoyee: and set a samba password
[19:12] <Typh> histo: but if I then try to install, I get the same error once more.
[19:12] <PhilipPhilip> Please can anyone hekp me, I am 9 years old and my ubuntu is borked, and I'm going to be in big trouble
[19:12] <mouka> histo: Thanks, that worked fine!!
[19:12] <thinkfire> bonjoyee, that worked
[19:12] <thinkfire> you rock
[19:12] <PhilipPhilip> i repeat, BIG trouble
[19:12] <histo> Typh: maybe clean your apt cache and re download the package perhaps the one you have is corrupt
[19:12] <bonjoyee> thinkfire: nice to see you cheer up:)
[19:13] <xangua> !ask | PhilipPhilip and we do not read minds
[19:13] <histo> Typh: try purging it then remove the deb from /var/cache/apt/archives/
[19:14] <thinkfire> yeah, 4 hours of tutorials and whatnot, its finally nice to see some progress on my part
[19:14] <thinkfire> thanks again
[19:14] <thinkfire> maybe initial samba installation was borked or something and that reinstall helped
[19:14] <Typh> histo: no change :(
[19:14] <thinkfire> or I just fubared it from the start somehow
[19:14] <thinkfire> haha
[19:15] <Vizzle> in cases where one is allowing access to others to your ubuntu machine, how should usernames be set in terms of permissions?
[19:15] <histo> Typh: after the deb is removed then install the package
[19:15] <histo> Typh: make sure it redownloads it
[19:15] <bonjoyee> thinkfire:  think nautilus-share did the trick...i assumed that to be installed..but since this is a server it was not
[19:15] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, It specifically says that it does/can.
[19:15] <histo> Typh: if not maybe the package is broken from whatever mirror you are using
[19:16] <histo> thinkfire: if it's a server why do you have a gui?
[19:16] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, 'postinst' scripts then execute any commands necessary to start or restart a service once a new package has been installed or upgraded.
[19:16] <PhilipPhilip> i cannot update, i have no sound :(
[19:16] <shdwpuppet> has anyone had success with getting 10.10 to work on the Eee PC 1215N, particularly the nvidia ion2?
[19:16] <xangua> do you¿ shdwpuppet
[19:16] <thinkfire> I dunno, I am new, I wanted to use it to mainly serve files and whatnot, so I selected server, then installed gnome when I couldnt get filesharing going properly, thinking a GUI would be easier
[19:16] <shdwpuppet> im sorry xangua?
[19:16] <Typh> histo: no change, and I'm using http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[19:17] <histo> Typh: I'm not running 10.10 so I can't check the package
[19:17] <thinkfire> Did I defeat the purpose of installing it as server by installing a GUI?
[19:17] <histo> Typh: maybe someone else can help
[19:17] <GeekyAdam> thinkfire: you'd prob be better off just installing ubuntu desktop then configuring servers. the real power in ubuntu (and most linux servers) lies in being able to use command-line well.
[19:17] <histo> thinkfire: not really it's your preference
[19:18] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, look at examples in /var/lib/dpkg/info
[19:18] <Typh> histo: thanks anyways
[19:18] <histo> thinkfire: but you may want to read the difference between server and desktop.
[19:18] <Noobster> hi all
[19:18] <GeekyAdam> hi Noobster
[19:18] <thinkfire> I was just thinking the same thing histo, perhaps I should install as desktop so assumptions are correct when I need assistance?
[19:19] <thinkfire> is there a way to revert to desktop?
[19:19] <PhilipPhilip> I need one on one help please
[19:19] <PhilipPhilip> message me
[19:19] <hizu> Text hier eingeben...hi everybody
[19:19] <thinkfire> without undoing everything?
[19:19] <histo> thinkfire: you can just install ubuntu-desktop package
[19:19] <histo> thinkfire: but it's all up to you.  You don't have to
[19:19] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: its usually better to ask in public chat so everyone can help and benifit
[19:19] <sam-_-> there is almost no difference except for the kernel and the preselected packages
[19:19] <Noobster> I need help with learning backports & getting a more up-to-date bind9 installed for my server
[19:19] <thinkfire> I am going to, I am thinking selecting server just made things more complex for me
[19:20] <marrrk> hey, is anybody running their ubuntu on parallels 6?
[19:20] <hizu> german speaking?
[19:20] <PhilipPhilip> GeekyAdam, I cannot update to meercat
[19:20] <sapphi> hello, i have a problem about booting ubuntu
[19:20] <Noobster> sapphi, what kind of trouble?
[19:20] <PhilipPhilip> i updated to meercat but its still telling me to update to meerkat
[19:20] <hizu> i have problem with my webcam
[19:21] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: explain your situation more descriptively. are you using 10.04 and you want to go to 10.10 (Meercat)?
[19:21] <sam-_-> meercat is 11.04
[19:22] <bonjoyee> sam-_-:11.04?
[19:22] <kahen> OK, I'm at a complete loss at how to explain this behaviour on this laptop: After some hibernate/resume cycles I have no sound from speakers but headphones work fine... then I do some combination of mute/unmute and unplug/replug headphones and speakers work again... that's just _bizarre_
[19:22] <PhilipPhilip> Yes, i'm on 10.04 and I tried upgrading, it upgraded, but now it still says, new edition of ubuntu available
[19:22] <Pweg> you're thinkin natty
[19:22] <PhilipPhilip> and i have no sound
[19:22] <hizu> can someone help me by an webcamproblem?
[19:22] <sam-_-> i'm wrong sry :-)
[19:22] <GeekyAdam> sam-_-: Meercat is 10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[19:22] <kahen> weirdest thing about it: rebooting doesn't fix it
[19:22] <xangua> PhilipPhilip: did you redtart ubuntu after upgrading¿
[19:22] <sam-_-> hizu, describe the problem
[19:23] <PhilipPhilip> yes xangua - there are all sorts of weird scrolling errors
[19:23] <hizu> just black by cheese cam
[19:23] <Noobster> PhilipPhilip, have you tryed installing from scratch?
[19:23] <hizu> my system:
[19:24] <hizu> ubuntu 10.10 eeepc 1101ha
[19:24] <PhilipPhilip> i don't want to lose any of my settings Noobster
[19:24] <sapphi> i used to have windows xp, and i decided to install ubuntu by wubi... well, the thing is that then it came the grub problem thing... then i tried to reinstall windows, i couldn't do it and magically i could enter in ubuntu... the thing now is that erased windows' folder and i had to restart ubuntu because of an update but i cannot enter in ubuntu because it appears again the grub thing
[19:24] <bonjoyee> hizu: try gstreamer-properties
[19:24] <hizu> with eeecontrol and eee applet
[19:24] <nirazio> I want to find whether my home directory got encrypted or not..How to check this???
[19:24] <PhilipPhilip> try to access it from another account nirazio
[19:24] <Noobster> PhilipPhilip, I never distro upgrade personally I find it to not be as stable
[19:25] <Pici> PhilipPhilip: When you say 'it' is tilleing you that a new version of Ubuntu is available, what do you mean by 'it'?
[19:25] <RogueShadow> I've always had trouble after upgrading also, I always install fresh.
[19:25] <PhilipPhilip> yes, seems that way Noobster - but I have so many other programs installed, i didnt want to do a clean instal, just an upgrade and keep all the settings
[19:25] <nirazio> PhilipPhilip: So what would happen if i access it from another acc??
[19:25] <Noobster> nirazio, try booting off the cd and seeing if you can access the data
[19:25] <RogueShadow> Most, if not all the settings can be saved by saving your home folder
[19:26] <sam-_-> nirazio, check /etc/fstab
[19:26] <Noobster> PhilipPhilip, have you looked @ your log files?
[19:26] <PhilipPhilip> Pici, update manager says, "New Ubuntu release 10.10 available
[19:26] <nirazio> sam-_-: fstab???
[19:26] <Pici> PhilipPhilip: What does the output of lsb_release -d   say?
[19:26] <PhilipPhilip> i click on upgrade, it doesnt do it
[19:27] <GeekyAdam> nirazio: if you boot off a livecd or something else, when you mount the drive your home folder is on and try to look at your home folder's contents, you shouldnt see anything. then you know encryption is working.
[19:27] <aricz> Hi, when I launch 'GNU Screen' my prompt changes.. anyone have a clue why and what to do?
[19:27] <Noobster> PhilipPhilip, do you know how to do it with cmd line?
[19:27] <xaq> hi all, i'm trying to get some files off an old install of win95 over a direct ethernet connection, any hints?
[19:27] <PhilipPhilip> it says, "Ubuntu 10.04"  Pici
[19:27] <erUSUL> aricz: how do you launch it?
[19:27] <PhilipPhilip> I originally did it by command line Noobster
[19:27] <Pici> PhilipPhilip: What command did you use to upgrade?
[19:27] <aricz> erUSUL: 'screen' in console
[19:28] <erUSUL> aricz: and it changes to what?
[19:28] <PhilipPhilip> I just followed the instructions on a web site, i can't remember all the commands sorry guys
[19:28] <tyrone> anyone with any experience with netbeans and setting up a PHP project?
[19:28] <aricz> erUSUL: '$'
[19:28] <PhilipPhilip> Pici ^
[19:28] <aricz> erUSUL: Somehow it resets $PS1 ..
[19:28] <sam-_-> nirazio, yes it's a file. you can look at it with any texteditor
[19:28] <erUSUL> aricz: maybe screen is launching sg instead of bash ?
[19:28] <Noobster> PhilipPhilip, check your .bash_history and come back to answer Pici
[19:28] <erUSUL> aricz: maybe screen is launching sh ( which is dash in ubuntu) instead of bash ?
[19:29] <Pici> PhilipPhilip: Well, was do you happen to remember if it was 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' or 'sudo do-release-upgrade' ?
[19:29] <aricz> erUSUL: I'm using /bin/ksh
[19:29] <aricz> erUSUL: Well, there's something I'm missing, and I don't know why.. :) because it all flowed well when using bash
[19:29] <Noobster> PhilipPhilip, Pici is right it is only 2 commands
[19:29] <Pici> aricz: Anything odd in ~/.screenrc ?
[19:29] <nirazio> sam-_-: What result i will get if i am encrypted??
[19:29] <PhilipPhilip> Yes, I typed, sudo do-release-upgrade Pici
[19:29] <aricz> why=what.. checking .screenrc
[19:29] <Noobster> any errors?
[19:30] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> tyrone: you might look @ #netbeans
[19:30] <sam-_-> nirazio, to be honest i don't know. but it should be in there.
[19:30] <sam-_-> nirazio, your homedir that is
[19:31] <PhilipPhilip> warning failed to read mirror file
[19:31] <tyrone> _Zroto|ernZ_: oh, didn't know there was such a thing
[19:31] <Pici> PhilipPhilip: The only thin I can suggest is to look in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ for problems, or to use do-release-upgrade again.
[19:31] <tyrone> Thanks
[19:31] <Noobster> PhilipPhilip, are you root?
[19:31] <aricz> Pici: It's the .screenrc that comes with GNU Screen.. haven't done anything to it.. just copied it from /etc/. to ~/.
[19:31] <PhilipPhilip> I just says, system upgrade is complete
[19:31] <PhilipPhilip> press y to restart
[19:31] <PhilipPhilip> ok i'll restart now, and come back
[19:32] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> tyrone: yeah try the #netbeans channel & the #php channel :)
[19:32] <nirazio> PhilipPhilip: What also makes me wondering is that the .Private folder has 600MB and over 1000 files of encrypted Data in it although i put no files in there....
[19:32] <Noobster> nirazio, he is gone
[19:32] <Noobster> nirazio, he had to reboot
[19:32] <nirazio> oke
[19:33] <Pici> aricz: Does your $PS1 default to what you see inside screen when you login?
[19:33] <aricz> pici, no
[19:33] <aricz> pici: I set $PS1 in my .profile .. when I start 'screen' it resets $PS1 .. not sure why, and where it does that
[19:33] <erUSUL> aricz: launch screen with  « screen -s ksh » ?
[19:34] <aricz> erUSUL: I get the same 'error' .. hehe
[19:35] <PhilipPhilip> Hey guys, nope - still didnt work
[19:35] <PhilipPhilip> still 10.04
[19:35] <nirazio> PhilipPhilip: What also makes me wondering is that the .Private folder has 600MB and over 1000 files of encrypted Data in it although i put no files in there....
[19:36] <itilious> hello everyone
[19:36] <Dan_E> I connected my mouse and printer through a USB hub to free up a USB port  now everytime I start my computer I have to unplug the hub and replug it to get the mouse to work. Any help?
[19:36] <erUSUL> aricz: i have this line in screenrc « shell -$SHELL
[19:36] <erUSUL> aricz: to make sure profile is loaded dunno where i got it ...
[19:36] <itilious> is it save to "clean cache" in ubuntu tweak? it seems to only delete .deb files,,, do i need this for anything?
[19:37] <aricz> erUSUL: And tadaaaa, it magically works fine.. :)
[19:37] <aricz> erUSUL: Thanks hehe, now, just figure out why it works :)
[19:38] <PhilipPhilip> It's quite a conundrum isn't it?  Why won't it upgrade?!
[19:38] <micols> krabador: echo hold|dpkg --set-selection iirc (or very close to that, man dpkg)
[19:39] <micols> echo "foobar hold"|..
[19:39] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: it might help if you tried the command-line method of upgrading and copied all output to a pastebin
[19:39] <Friar> I keep getting errors when trying to play DVD
[19:39] <Friar> 's...
[19:39] <micols> where foobar is your packagename
[19:39] <Friar> I'm not sure why.
[19:39] <PhilipPhilip> ok GeekyAdam
[19:39] <Friar> I am pretty sure that I have the DVD plugin on my machine though.
[19:39] <krabador> micols, what?
[19:39] <PhilipPhilip> what's the best pastebin to instal?
[19:40] <traceto> Is there any Yakuake but for gnome? I have tried guake but it doesn't works so great...
[19:40] <micols> krabador: sry ,was for kreuter
[19:40] <kreuter> micols: yeah, got it.
[19:40] <erUSUL> !info tilda
[19:41] <PhilipPhilip> GeekyAdam, what pastebin will i install?
[19:41] <kreuter> UnholyTerror: it's not clear what the interface between the postinst script and upstart/sysvinit is supposed to be.
[19:41] <NooBuntu> I cant find Nvidia Cuda Tool Kit for 10.10
[19:41] <kreuter> I see how some postinst scripts do some stuff having to do with restarts, but my postinst script does nothing in that regard, and the restart is nevertheless happening.
[19:42] <NooBuntu> osmodivs@Djiin:~/Escritorio$ ./devdriver_3.2_linux_64_260.19.21.run.partbash: ./devdriver_3.2_linux_64_260.19.21.run.part: /bin/sh: intérprete erróneo: Archivo de texto en uso
[19:42] <NooBuntu> WHY!?
[19:42] <antlong> is there a flash player for 64 bit ubuntu 10.04?
[19:42] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, look at examples in /var/lib/dpkg/info
[19:42] <kreuter> UnholyTerror: I am.
[19:42] <MrAnthrope> Hey guys. Any of you play Dungeons and Dragons Online? They updated the game this morning and now I get an error telling me I'm not running the current version after I patch it.
[19:44] <ravenkin> Does anyone know how to default desktop icons to the right side instead of the left?
[19:44] <PhilipPhilip> got a new problem now
[19:44] <PhilipPhilip> http://paste.ubuntu.com/543238/
[19:44] <kreuter> oh, I get it now.
[19:44] <RogueShadow> MrAnthrope, fun game, I been meaning to try installing it here in Ubuntu. I didn't play much, but I like it.
[19:44] <kreuter> UnholyTerror: sorry, I didn't realize that #DEBHELPER# in my source gets processed funny.
[19:45] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: you dont install pastebins. do a "/topic"
[19:45] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: (here in irc)
[19:45] <MrAnthrope> Man it took me 3 days to install it. And then there was a patch and I can't play again.
[19:45] <MrAnthrope> It worked just fine after I installed it. Only issue I had was that I couldn't go fullscreen.
[19:45] <MrAnthrope> I just made the window as big as my desktop, though.
[19:45] <PhilipPhilip> ok GeekyAdam  thanks
[19:46] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: its funny that you showed an error attemptign to isntall a pastebin, using a pastebin
[19:46] <MrAnthrope> I'm using the native Linux patcher. I just added a custom clientpatcher.dll file and it's downloading a bunch of files so I'm hoping this fixes it.
[19:47] <PhilipPhilip> lol GeekyAdam - Yes, i guess it is.
[19:47] <JoeCoolNetbook> Why can't I scroll up?
[19:47] <aszpain2> When you download some X-dev package the headers are found in /usr/include/X/ the problem is that when u compile with gcc it expects the headers and its subdirectories in /usr/include/ ... how can you apt-get install dev packages in a way that gcc directly catch the headers?
[19:47] <JoeCoolNetbook> I can't scroll up on any of three mice, including a touchpad,  I can only scroll down.
[19:47] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, hope that helps you. :)
[19:48] <kreuter> UnholyTerror: actually it just makes more work for me. :(
[19:48] <Dan_E>  I connected my mouse and printer through a USB hub to free up a USB port  now everytime I start my computer I have to unplug the hub and replug it to get the mouse to work. Any help?
[19:48] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: do the command-line method for upgrading, then copy-paste all the output in the paste.ubuntu.com pastebin you just used
[19:48] <turtleJP> hopefully an easy question is there keyboard shortcut to switch between workspaces?
[19:48] <joe847> .
[19:48] <kreuter> because now I have to implement whatever #DEBHELPER# means but only sometimes.
[19:48] <PhilipPhilip> OK GeekyAdam 1 minute
[19:48] <MarkSS> I know too much Linux. How do I become a noob?
[19:48] <greenpuddin> JoeCoolNetbook: Try your luck through the Mouse settings found through System -> Preferences -> Mouse
[19:48] <RogueShadow> MarkSS, go toa  channel about something you don't know about
[19:49] <PhilipPhilip> Sorry, what was the command again to do it in commandline, sudo do-release-upgrade ?
[19:49] <greenpuddin> there may be some setting prohibiting scrolling for some ungodly reason
[19:49] <MrAnthrope> turtleJP: If you have Compiz you can bind workspace switching to any key you like. I have mine set to <super>1, 2, 3, & 4 for each viewport.
[19:49] <turtleJP> MarkSS: You forget what you don't use. Either that or there is only so much room in your brain. One thing goes in and the other goes out.
[19:49] <MarkSS> heh
[19:49] <aszpain2> for example if you do: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-dev it installs header files in /usr/include/gstreamer0.10/someheaderfile.h but gcc has the include <gst/someheaderfile.h>
[19:49] <trollboy> For some reason I lost most of my mail in one of my folders in Evolution.. is there a way to run a repair against that folder
[19:49] <BigGreenCanoe> have a question about window frames in Gnome on 10.04.  I cannot get the frames to stay set after I logout and have to reset the apperance prefs each time.  it this a generak issue, or just a bad file on my end?
[19:50] <PhilipPhilip> GeekyAdam,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/543244/
[19:50] <doriangrey> Hello i was trying moving all .mp3 from one location to another with the command mv location/where/they/are new/location but i m gettin errors.. any help?
[19:50] <otak>  turtleJP : I think that's Ctrl-Alt-arrow
[19:50] <Pici> doriangrey: What error are you getting?
[19:50] <UnholyTerror> kreuter, you know more than I do... I just googled ;)
[19:51] <erUSUL> trollboy: see if the mbox file is still in ~/.evolution/
[19:51] <doriangrey> Pici, doriangrey@ubuntu:~$ mv '/media/WOXTER/musica/Mi música/*.mp3' '/media/Philips Multimedia Disk Drive/Music'
[19:51] <doriangrey> mv: cannot stat `/media/WOXTER/musica/Mi música/*.mp3': No such file or directory
[19:51] <PhilipPhilip> sorry GeekyAdam  ignore that one, i'm pasteing a new one
[19:51] <ravenkin> Does anyone know how to default desktop icons to the right side instead of the left?
[19:51] <erUSUL> doriangrey: do not use ' ' if you are using glos like *
[19:51] <UnholyTerror> BigGreenCanoe, ##gnome
[19:51] <aszpain2> How do you say gcc to look into all subdirectories?
[19:52] <aszpain2> of an specific path?
[19:52] <kek> where can i find info about the lifetimes of ubuntu releases and how long will 8.04 be supported?
[19:52] <Pici> doriangrey: Try surrounding your paths with double quotes " instead of single quotes.
[19:52] <trollboy> erUSUL, what precisely am I looking for..
[19:52] <erUSUL> !eol | kek
[19:52] <Pici> kek: 8.04 is an LTS release, so it is supported for 5 years on the server, and 6 on the desktop.
[19:52] <doriangrey> Pici, doriangrey@ubuntu:~$ mv /media/WOXTER/musica/Mi música/*.mp3 /media/Philips Multimedia Disk Drive/Music
[19:52] <doriangrey> mv: target `Drive/Music' is not a directory
[19:53] <Pici> kek: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases is what you want.
[19:53] <doriangrey> Pici, i did but same error
[19:53] <xangua> Pici:  kek is 3 for desctop, not 6 o_O
[19:53] <Pici> doriangrey: That doesn't look like you used doublequotes.
[19:53] <JPeterson> how do I check the mouse polling rate in maverick?
[19:53] <joe847> 3 on the Desktop version...
[19:53] <PhilipPhilip> OK GeekyAdam  here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/543246/
[19:53] <xangua> desktop*
[19:53] <kek> Pici: Thanks!
[19:53] <Pici> xangua: oops.  Dunno how I typoed that.
[19:53] <JPeterson> for example cat /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll returned 0, so i guess that's outdated information
[19:53] <JPeterson> how do i check the mouse polling rate in the newest ubuntu?
[19:53] <doriangrey> Pici, i didnt used the second time but i got same error
[19:54] <Pici> doriangrey: Can you try tab-completing the directory path instead?
[19:54] <erUSUL> trollboy: ~/.evolution/mail/local/nameoffolder
[19:54] <doriangrey> Pici, let me try
[19:54] <UnholyTerror> doriangrey, use tab completion when typing you folder paths... leave out the quotes
[19:54] <erUSUL> doriangrey: use " " double quotes.
[19:55] <PhilipPhilip> "trollboy" lol genius
[19:55] <trollboy> PhilipPhilip, one could say the same about your nick
[19:55] <VonGuard> OMG what the hell did that thunderbird update do?!
[19:55] <VonGuard> they pushed a new Ubuntu update this mornign with mozilla and thunderbird, and now my machine is completely hung
[19:55] <Noobster> PhilipPhilip, did it work after reboot?
[19:55] <trollboy> erUSUL, I see inbox/outbox/etc there, but none of the custom folders I've created
[19:55] <PhilipPhilip> no Noobster
[19:56] <Noobster> try cmd line again
[19:56] <PhilipPhilip> still says new version available
[19:56] <Noobster> make sure you sudo
[19:56] <trollboy> I pop multiple accounts from my evolution and have rules set up that if source account is this, put in that folder, and so on and so forth
[19:56] <MrAnthrope> For anyone who cares, using a custom patchclient.dll file fixed Dungeons & Dragons Online.
[19:56] <VonGuard> CPU maxed and the whole OS is at a crawl after this mozilla/thunderbird update
[19:56] <PhilipPhilip> I'm just going to wait a second until GeekyAdam gets back to me
[19:56] <trollboy> My inbox folder is empty and should be
[19:57] <trollboy> my problem is erUSUL, inbox>>folderforemailaddress1 lost most of its mail
[19:57] <wwlvx> join #kde #gnome
[19:57] <doriangrey> Pici, UnholyTerror  yes right and working! thanks
[19:58] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: im not as proficient in this stuff as some others here, dont be scared to take other advice as well.
[19:58] <Vespero> I'm having trouble with Ubuntu One. I have several chat accounts verified in it, but am unable to click "online" or any other status settings to log in.
[19:58] <joe847> Er, any reasons why both the Gnumeric & Abiword not up to date yet, on the 10.04LTS release?!
[19:58] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: id try to do a "sudo apt-get update -y" and "sudo apt-get upgrade -y" then retry the upgrade
[19:58] <axisys> is this valid? GRUB_TERMINAL="--timeout=5 serial console"
[19:59] <PhilipPhilip> ok GeekyAdam
[19:59] <Pici> joe847: Because LTS doesn't mean that you're getting feature updates?
[19:59] <Dan_E> I connected my mouse and printer through a USB hub to free up a USB port  now everytime I start my computer I have to unplug the hub and replug it to get the mouse to work. Any help?
[19:59] <UnholyTerror> doriangrey, see the backslashes where all the spaces are - it's called escaping
[20:00] <PhilipPhilip> ok done that, i'm going to restart again - back in a few minutes
[20:00] <joe847> Pici: don't know!
[20:00] <Pici> joe847: Well, I'll telling you then ;)
[20:01] <joe847> Gnumeric is a few month old now, and not up to date, that much I'm certain of.  Pici
[20:02] <PhilipPhilip> Hey guys, no luck still.
[20:02] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: has the output changed at all?
[20:02] <Pici> joe847: the 'LTS' part of the release name means that you will be receiving security updates, not new software versions just because upstream released one.
[20:03] <Pici> !latest | joe847
[20:03] <PhilipPhilip> no, exactly the same GeekyAdam
[20:03] <joe847> Pici:  Thanks!
[20:04] <Pici> joe847: np :)
[20:05] <nirazio> I have a wireless mouse device and I would like to speed-up the scrolling. I found a hint that tell us to install gpointing-device-settings.Unfortunatelly this program is not working in Lucid.Trying to running it one get a segmentation fault error.So I went here to ask how to manually speed up scroll ?
[20:05] <wildfire101> hey, how do i just downloaded ubuntu 10.10 and i wanna download spotify (http://www.spotify.com/uk/download/previews/) Please may someone tell me how to?
[20:05] <mattalexx> I'm trying to compile PHP from source and I'm getting the following error: "configure: error: Cannot find libz" Aptitude is telling me that lib32z1 is installed, but I can't find it. It's a fresh install of Server 10.10

[20:09] <killybilly> hi, is there a way to enable/disable persistency on a live USB?
[20:09] <JoeCoolNetbook> roy_1, just use a livecd or your other linux and do a dpkg-reconfigure grub2 on sda
[20:10] <roy_1> i tried to reinstall grub from the live cd (where i am now), but it says /dev not mounted
[20:10] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: you need to enable the bootlogger: 1. edit file /etc/defaults/bootlogd (change "no" to "yes") 2. reboot - daemon is started at boot then stopped after it finishes 3. check /var/log/boot
[20:10] <JoeCoolNetbook> roy_1, mount it.
[20:11] <JPeterson> all info on mouse tweaking that i find seems out of date, for example there is no/etc/modprobe.d/options in maverick
[20:11] <roy_1> how? i am new to linux
[20:11] <JoeCoolNetbook> What worked for me was chrooting into the old system that you want in the grub menu, and running dpkg from there

[20:20] <Noobster> GeekyAdam, did this make sense?
[20:20] <xangua> Tomislav: 2gb is way too little
[20:21] <tyrone> how do I delete a file that I created from the terminal?
[20:21] <wildfire101> xangua,  please may you help me?
[20:22] <churl> Need help reinstalling grub from a live cd!  Tried sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda5 /dev/sda  (it installed but no luck on the reboot)
[20:22] <Tomislav> I think too many ppl here
[20:22] <GeekyAdam> Noobster: im not familiar with the term "backports" what i think you may mean is repositories other than the ones that come with ubuntu? other repositories may be useful for installing unique software. i've used alternate repos for unique software before. try googling around for "ubuntu adding alternate repositories" or something similar.
[20:23] <Tomislav> and ppl all time exiting and entering :S
[20:23] <Mallen2008> Channel def has changed
[20:23] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: this might be outside my realm of help. if i were u id google for the bootlogger problem and try to find out why its not putting anything in /var/log/boot (maybe its a different file?).
[20:23] <roy_1> nobody is talking in #grub :(

[20:24] <angel_> hola
[20:24] <wildfire101> xangua,  huh?
[20:24] <RogueShadow> PhilipPhilip, If I were you, I'd look into backing up my home folder safely, and re-installing the latest version directly after downloading some cds.
[20:24] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: if you figure out the solution, try to report back here. just curious.
[20:25] <angel_> hello you
[20:25] <killybilly> hi, is there a way to enable/disable persistency on a live USB?
[20:25] <GeekyAdam> PhilipPhilip: RogueShadow has a point. your system  seems pretty buggy, you might beneifit from a freseh install. maybe its time. :/
[20:25] <wildfire101> xangua,  i think you have the wrong person
[20:25] <borreguito> i not want to install ubuntu from an USB... .i want to install to a USB flash!
[20:26] <tyrone> GeekyAdam: thanks
[20:26] <sceo> I installed ubuntu server 10.10 without a network (just using a bootable USB drive).  Now that I have network (wired) I need to configure it to start the network on boot.  I added to /etc/network/interfaces "auto eth0" but it doesn't seem to help.  "sudo dhclient" will get my network up fine.
[20:27] <lucas-arg> borreguito, burn the iso to a cd and install it to the usb... install grub in the /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sda
[20:27] <RogueShadow> That advice comes from somebody who has destroyed his installation many times. ;)
[20:27] <PhilipPhilip> Yes, I guess, backing things up then wiping it and doing a clean install may be the last resort.

[20:28] <RogueShadow> PhilipPhilip, if it is settings your primarily worried about, your home folder should contain nearly all settings, unless you did a lot of non-standard things.
[20:28] <PhilipPhilip> Good advice too RogueShadow thanks
[20:28]  * GeekyAdam shrugs at RogueShadow.
[20:28] <borreguito> ok.. lucas-arg... but my Ubuntu Live session does not show me my usb partitions.
[20:28] <GeekyAdam> ive fried my fair share of systems.
[20:28] <PhilipPhilip> Yes, I'

[20:29] <PhilipPhilip> Yes, I've a lot of random settings, and 1000s of programs downloaded, a frsh install just means getting everything again.
[20:29] <zyen> posible solutions please?
[20:29] <lucas-arg> borreguito, use try ubuntu first and check that the arent mounted... also check with gparted that they are ext3 or 4 first
[20:29] <FloodBot1> zyen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:29] <PhilipPhilip> Does the ubuntu 10.10 DVD have a "repair" mode?
[20:30] <redGoat> PhilipPhilip: It is actually a good idea to backup your stuffs. I keep my personal files away from OS -- That way, I can play around with Ubuntu, Fedora, ArchLinux, etc etc without having to worry about anything.
[20:30] <roy_1> why the heck is nobody speaking on the #grub channel? :(
[20:30] <zyen> posible solutions to this error plz? http://paste.ubuntu.com/543265/
[20:30] <krger> Maybe because nobody's there?

[20:35] <lahwran> how would I downgrade to a more stable release of file-roller? the version that ships with 10.10 is driving me crazy
[20:35] <killybilly> is my question about persistency to be asked in other specific channel?
[20:35] <lucas-arg> mouka, try downloading a newer kernel from kernel ppa (google) install it and see that happens
[20:35] <mouka> lucas-arg: I already did, nothing happened

[20:42] <Autonomiser> Sorry wrong channel
[20:42] <jgb> why does downgrading libasound2 (via "Force Version" in Synaptic) require the removal of, amongst others, skype, wine and picasa? (I have unchecked 'consider recommended packages as dependencies')
[20:43] <Pici> jgb: Likely because those other packages require the newer version of libasound. I can't be sure without knowing which versions you are switching to/from though.
[20:44] <jgb> Pici: 1.0.23-1ubuntu2.1 down to 1.0.23-1ubuntu2.1

I deleted the ubuntu partition, added it to the windows partition, and then shrunk the windows partition and made a new partition for pinguy.

[21:00] <Dabian> I have Nvidia card. :D
[21:00] <CyVan> ilovefairuz: thx :)
[21:00] <jgb> noah: run sudo update-grub and see whether that changes the partition mentioned for windows in grub.cfg
[21:00]  * Dabian ducks.
[21:00] <noah> Alright, I'll try that.
[21:00] <itilious> noah, i came late into convo,,, are you trying to get dual boot with linux and windows working?
[21:00] <Noobster> I added backports to my /etc.apt/sources.list and installed bind9, but I get errors
[21:00] <erUSUL> Dabian: « gksudo nvidia-settings » save to xorg.conf file
[21:01] <Noobster> named -v
[21:01] <Noobster> named: error while loading shared libraries: libdns.so.69
[21:01] <doriangrey> hi if i want to move all .mp3 and .mid and .waw etc what is the commnad?  like this mv location/where/isnow/*.mp3.waw.mid /new/location   is this correct?
[21:01] <histo> noah: jdb any reason you are asking in #ubuntu since you've deleted it?
[21:01] <histo> noah: ask the pinguy people
[21:01] <linxeh> doriangrey: no
[21:01] <Sean93> my power button has dissapeared from my toolbar
[21:01] <Dabian> erUSUL: Thats what I thought, but a restart of the Xserver, seems to revert my changes.
[21:01] <noah> itilious: Yeah, that's the idea.
[21:01] <itilious> noah, did you install ubuntu first?
[21:01] <linxeh> doriangrey: mv location/*.mp3 location/*.wav location/*.mid /new/location
[21:01] <histo> itilious: with pinguy and windows he got rid of ubuntu
[21:01] <noah> I didn't know they had an irc... I clicked on x-chat and this is the first window it opened, so I assumed it didn't.
[21:01] <linxeh> doriangrey: you can simplify that with clever glob rules, but thats the easiest
[21:01] <erUSUL> Dabian: check that  ~/.config/monitors.xml is not in the way ( remove it )
[21:02] <noah> Plus, pinguy it close enough to ubuntu that I figured I should be able to find an answer here
[21:02] <ilovefairuz> doriangrey: mv /path/*.{mp3,wav,mid}   /new/path
[21:02] <Dabian> erUSUL: Its there. :)
[21:02] <itilious> noah, i recently installed ubuntu first on my laptop, then windows xp, and got them to successfully dual boot using grub
[21:02] <Dabian> Sun of a gun!  Thats it, I think!  Thanks erUSUL !
[21:02] <linxeh> doriangrey: basically the shell will expand *.mp3 etc into a long list of files, and mv treats the last parameter as destiniation - so you end up with mv foo.mp3 bar.mp3 foobar.mp3 foobaz.wav /new/location (in effect)
[21:02] <Noobster> can someone help with getting bind9 installed on ubuntu 10.04 lts server?
[21:02] <histo> noah: hard to say if they have os detection scripts like ubuntu or not.
[21:02] <erUSUL> Dabian: no problem
[21:02] <linxeh> doriangrey: what ilovefairuz said too
[21:02] <halpp> Hi. I seem to have this recurring problem: my browsers seem to chew up more memory as time goes on, and they grey out (compiz) very often after a few hours. Shutting them down and restarting them again does not fix the issue. Is there something I can use to diagnose the problem?
[21:02] <histo> noah: but I would ask there support and see
[21:02] <itilious> noah, let me know if this is what you're tryign to do by PM and i'll tell ya how I did it
[21:03] <Dabian> erUSUL: Which program stores stuff in .config?
[21:03] <frox> anyone know a channel focused on overclocking?
[21:03] <erUSUL> Dabian: System>Preferences>Monitor
[21:03] <ilovefairuz> frox: try ##hardware
[21:03] <guntbert> Noobster: #ubuntu-server is probably a better place for your question
[21:03] <noah> itilious: Yeah, but I found pinguy's installer to have issues with the current ubuntu install, so I deleted the ubuntu partition, expanded the windows one, then shrunk it again (I know it sounds complicated but it made more sense at the time)
[21:03] <Dabian> GNOME then, I guess.
[21:03] <frox> ilovefairuz: thanks
[21:03] <Dabian> erUSUL: Will GDM change resultion though?
[21:03] <Dabian> The login screen.
[21:03] <noah> I'll try that if the grub update doesn't work
[21:04] <Noobster> guntbert, thanx
[21:04] <noah> Last comment was for histo, sorry.
[21:04]  * itilious is tired
[21:04] <ilovefairuz> halpp: that's just what browsers do, eat memory! try disabling addons and plugins that you don't use
[21:04] <erUSUL> Dabian: it should use the xorg.conf resolution
[21:04] <itilious> why is my name greyd out in xchat? lol
[21:04] <jgb> frox: you're going to want mprime to test for stability
[21:05] <halpp> ilovefairuz: It doesn't seem to eat it nearly as quickly in Windows XP, though. Do you know why it might be more responsive in Windows and not in Ubuntu?
[21:05] <Dabian> erUSUL: OK.  THanks.  Btw. GDM used to be a lot more configurable, that changed in koala .. I kinda waited for it to come back, but I am getting impatient .. do I need a seperate program now?
[21:05] <jgb> halpp: I can't offer any advice, but firefox kills my pc too
[21:05] <noah> I did an update-grub, and I'm gonna try and restart and see if I can get into windows
[21:05] <ilovefairuz> halpp: are we talking about firefox? if so, blame mozilla
[21:05] <frox> jgb: once i actually get it too overclock yeah
[21:05] <Dabian> jgb: May it R.I.P.
[21:05] <noah> thanks for the help
[21:06] <erUSUL> Dabian: no that i know of. the new gdm is just not as configurable as the old one. fact of life
[21:06] <frox> right now i believe cpu frequency scaling is overriding the bios settings, limiting me to the stock max freq
[21:06] <halpp> I've used Opera and Chrome and even they seem to be affected :( Ah well.
[21:06] <Sean93> my power button has dissapeared from my toolbar
[21:06] <Dabian> erUSUL: I guess we cannot get the old one back, without loosing security updates and all kinda stuff like that?
[21:06] <erUSUL> Dabian: correct
[21:07] <UserX7> how do i get brightness to behave properly (for laptops/netbooks) 10.04?
[21:07] <frox> Sean93: that happened to me yesterday.  move the bar to the side of the screen, then back to original position
[21:07] <Sean93> frox, how do i move it?
[21:08] <TobiF> hi, i have a problem with my maverick - in some applications (e.g. thunderbird, firefox) some pictures have inverted colors, others not - any ideas?
[21:08] <Dabian> erUSUL: Why do they insist on reducing functionality?  Metacity never had 1/10th the options of Sawfish .. Compiz Fusion is lacking compared to -- forgot its name .. etc.
[21:08] <frox> Sean93: right-click > properties > orientation drop-down
[21:08] <vinicius> Hi
[21:08] <erUSUL> Dabian: dunno; do not ask me ;P. make it easier for the crowds i guess
[21:08] <Dabian> erUSUL: Even nautilus lost functionality of the panel.
[21:09] <doriangrey> ilovefairuz, doriangrey@ubuntu:~$ mv /media/Philips\ Multimedia\ Disk\ Drive/Music/Mi música/*.{mp3,wav,mid} /media/Philips\ Multimedia\ Disk\ Drive/Music/

[21:09] <Guest69747> Boa noite
[21:09] <Dabian> erUSUL: Thats my guess too .. but then, why not just hide the stuff in an advanced pane or something liket hat.
[21:09] <Guest69747> Alguem por de ajudar?
[21:09] <FloodBot1> Guest69747: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[21:09] <ilovefairuz> doriangrey: put double quotes around each path, because they have spaces
[21:10] <UserX7> TobiF, have you pressed winkey + n? toggles inverted colours (compiz setting)
[21:10] <Vini> Alguem pode me ajudar com Ubuntu?
[21:10] <Dabian> erUSUL: Well, of course you dont have the answers to those kinda questions.  I just wonder why FVWM of 1994/1995 seemed more functional in some ways, that the desktop of today. :)
[21:11] <ilovefairuz> doriangrey: "media/Philips\ Multimedia\ Disk\ Drive/Music/Mi m?sica/"*.{mp3,wav,mid}
[21:11] <Dabian> Even FVWM is less useful, I guess. :))
[21:11] <Vini> ALguem pode me ajudar?
[21:11] <TobiF> no .. havent pressed win+n
[21:11] <mifget> no
[21:12] <erUSUL> Dabian: many clever minds in the unix world ask the same questions.... the beauty of linux is that you still can use fvwm if you so desires ( and many do )
[21:12] <Dabian> Then again, I guess not all users have used gnu/linux in 15 years.
[21:12] <otak> doriangrey: you have to 'escape' the space in filenames like this Mi\ Musica
[21:12] <ilovefairuz> doriangrey: ah no, try this: media/Philips\ Multimedia\ Disk Drive/Music/Mi\ m?sica/*.{mp3,wav,mid}
[21:12] <TobiF> which compiz extension is it? maybe i should activate this and then try win+n?
[21:12] <ilovefairuz> doriangrey: no quotes
[21:13] <Dabian> erUSUL: Yeah, thats true.  I guess I could even go back to the old one.
[21:13] <ilovefairuz> doriangrey: just an added \ before the space after Mi
[21:13] <UserX7> TobiF, it's called negative
[21:13] <otak> !br|Vini
[21:13] <TobiF> oh sorry .. i am not a native english speaker
[21:13] <Dabian> erUSUL: I do believe in simple stuff.  Like Emacs. >:-}
[21:14] <Dabian> j/k .. I do like emacs, but I wont pretend its simple.
[21:14] <Migaaresno> Im not root, can i start a application if the computer boots up?(while im not there to login)
[21:14] <Pici> Migaaresno: edit your user's crontab and use @reboot as the time.
[21:14] <Dabian> Migaaresno: Not sure, but you sure can't if it doesn't. >:->
[21:15] <Jordan_U> TobiF: The colors are probably not inverted but rather you just have a completely invalid ICC profile (probably because your monitor is giving bogus EDID info). To disable color management in firefox as a quick work around see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gfx.color_management.enabled , but you might want to try fixing the global color profile.
[21:16] <Dabian> erUSUL: Anyhow ..thanks for the help and the chat. :)
[21:16] <TobiF> @Jordan_U .. ahh .. sounds good. how may i fix the global color profile?
[21:16] <erUSUL> Dabian: yw
[21:17] <Jordan_U> TobiF: To be honest I don't know. Try asking in #xorg.
[21:18] <Rook> #hackforums
[21:18] <Rook> what?
[21:18] <TobiF> ok .. i will, thanks!
[21:18] <Doinkle> Hi,  I have a laptop with no floppy and no CDROM.  If I pull the HDD and mount(on another PC) with a USB > HDD adapter, can I still get an install of Ubuntu on it without much hassle?
[21:18] <Rook> Ohh
[21:19] <Rook> I have a question!
[21:19] <Rook> No one seems to be able to answer it
[21:19] <oldtropador> Can anyone help I can't seam to understand How to instsall downloaded driver that are not in app pool?
[21:19] <jgb> lulz!
[21:19] <Rook> 'No default directive or UI configuration found'
[21:19] <Rook> when I boot mint or any distro from usb
[21:19] <Rook> how do I fix?
[21:19] <ilovefairuz> Doinkle: why not install from a usb pendrive?
[21:19] <ilovefairuz> !usb | Doinkle
[21:19] <Doinkle> ilovefairuz, laptop too old for usb as boot device in bios
[21:20] <Rook> Guys
[21:20] <Rook> I've followed all of those guides
[21:20] <Doinkle> Rook, calm down
[21:20] <Rook> ?
[21:20] <itilious> does using i915.modeset=1 in my grub config hinder any video performance?
[21:20] <Rook> I wasn't calm..?
[21:20] <ilovefairuz>  !enter | Rook
[21:20] <jgb> Rook: perhaps no one can answer your question because it makes no sense
[21:20] <itilious> its the only way I can boot with this laptop, but windows xp seems to have much better video playback than ubuntu, is there anything I can do for this?
[21:20] <Rook> How does it make no sense?
[21:20] <ExEr101>  So im kinda a noob can someone please tell me how to stop gdm from starting up . I tried searching it and was not able to find a ans that worked
[21:21] <jgb> Rook: I didn't see the first line
[21:21] <Rook> 'No default directive or UI configuration found' when I boot Mint from a pendrive
[21:21] <TobiF> @jordan changing Gfx.color management.mode helped - thanks!!!
[21:21] <ilovefairuz> Rook: have you tried booting the latest ubuntu version?
[21:21] <ilovefairuz> !mint | Rook
[21:21] <Rook> Yes, I've done about 4 different distros
[21:21] <Doinkle> ilovefairuz, does ubuntu not recognize hardware until first boot?  If so, i should be able to do what i posted?
[21:21] <ilovefairuz> !mintsupport | Rook
[21:22] <ExEr101> anyone?
[21:22] <Doinkle> ExEr101,  give your questions time for others to digest,...
[21:23] <ilovefairuz> ExEr101: what are you trying to accomplish ?
[21:23] <jgb> anyone else had their usb sound card stop working after updating in the past weeks?
[21:23] <ilovefairuz> ExEr101: booting without X or switching to another DM?
[21:23] <Jordan_U> Doinkle: Yes, you should be able to install on one machine and use the hard drive in another.
[21:23] <ExEr101> well what i want is to log in with terminal
[21:23] <ExEr101> so i have trying to stop the dgm
[21:23] <Jordan_U> !boot | ExEr101
[21:24] <ExEr101> thx
[21:24] <Jordan_U> ExEr101: You're welcome.
[21:24] <bucky> ExEr101, sudo update-rc.d --f gdm remove
[21:24] <ilovefairuz> ExEr101: you can switch to a virtual console, alt + ctrl + f1 .. and back to X with f7
[21:24] <^Phantom2^> heh, once I finally get the RAM in my laptop upgraded...no more Ubuntu in a VM on my deskitop for me.
[21:24] <bucky> ExEr101, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove <- too many dashes
[21:24] <^Phantom2^> desktop*
[21:25] <ExEr101> thx everyone
[21:25] <^Phantom2^> No, sir!  I'll be putting ubuntu on the laptop ^_^
[21:25] <^Phantom2^> Well, maybe I'll keep the VM, cause having both Windows and Ubuntu on the same screen at the same time is kind of fun.
[21:26] <^Phantom2^> Anywho, it's a good plan, isn't it?
[21:26] <killybilly> lol, in #linux they didn't know either.. . T_T... any other chan in which i could ask? xD
[21:27] <^Phantom2^> I had ubuntu on my old laptop (8.10) and I *LOVED* it.
[21:27] <leonardo_> \join #thacker
[21:27] <^Phantom2^> Which is why I intend to put it on my new one, when I get the ram upgraded ^_^
[21:27] <^Phantom2^> 10.10 is nice, too.
[21:27] <bucky> killybilly, what was the question just for fun,  i missed it
[21:27] <killybilly> is there a way to enable/disable persistency on a ubuntu live USB?
[21:27] <killybilly> xD
[21:28] <Scunizi> pavucontrol will not start .. it errors with "Connection Failed: Connection refused".. how do I fix this? or should I? I'm trying to record my google voice outgoing call to a teleconference
[21:28] <bucky> killybilly, don't know much about live usb, what is persistency?
[21:29] <ilovefairuz> Scunizi: do this and try again: pulseaudio -k
[21:29] <^Phantom2^> I just have one question:  Is ubuntu able to connect to ad-hoc networks which provide internet access?
[21:29] <ilovefairuz> ^Phantom2^: yes
[21:29] <Scunizi> ilovefairuz: makes sense now.. I'm on kubuntu which apparently doesn't have pulseaudio installed as default
[21:29] <zdz> n
[21:30] <killybilly> bucky: a layer which saves changes committed to a live disk
[21:30] <zdz> hello
[21:30] <^Phantom2^> I ask, because I can use my mytouch 3G to create an access point, but its hardware is older and doesn't support creating infrastructure APs.
[21:30] <^Phantom2^> That is awesome, ilovefairuz
[21:31] <^Phantom2^> I am thinking I'll get the RAM with my christmas money XD
[21:31] <^Phantom2^> Right now it's got 2 256MB chips, but they have somehow mostly died, and now it's stuck with 192MB RAM
[21:31] <vvvccc> I got some character in a text file that looks like square with 4 numbers in it this char making newline and I cant fix it.. any suggestions?
[21:32] <^Phantom2^> I tried to install Ubuntu on it, but couldn't :(
[21:33] <sam-_-> vvvccc select a different charset
[21:33] <^Phantom2^> Windows XP is a ferocious beast on 192mb ram, heh
[21:33] <^Phantom2^> If it's worth mentioning
[21:33] <ilovefairuz> vvvccc: the encoding needs to be changed or you're missing a font that supports displaying this character ..
[21:33] <vvvccc> sam-_- how to? im using mousepad xubuntu
[21:33] <bucky> killybilly, are you trying to add something like a custom install usb? if it's plugged into a box that is running linux you need to umount the usb before removing it
[21:33] <Spirits-Sight> what are the folds (directories) that I should keep seperate from the main OS so in future I could do a reinstall and not have to more all the users data to a different drive just to reinstall new verisons?  I know the /home but are there any other ones?  Also how much space should I give to the pri part of the drive?  and last but less when I do say the update / reinstall of say 11.04 where its going to have
[21:33] <Spirits-Sight> some big changes init for how I guess settings will be handle how do I move the settings of the users home to the new way?
[21:33] <sam-_-> vvvccc which texteditor?
[21:33] <vvvccc> mousepad
[21:33] <ilovefairuz> vvvccc: check around the menus or try gedit
[21:33] <Spirits-Sight> Sorry for a long winded post
[21:33] <^Phantom2^> I came to love ubuntu when I had it on my old laptop, and that is why I have no interest in Windows 7.  I'd rather have ubuntu linux. ^_^
[21:34] <Migaaresno> Pici: The crontab @reboot worked like a charm. Thanks!
[21:34] <bucky> Spirits-Sight, put /home on another partition and dont' format it on the next install?
[21:35] <sam-_-> vvvccc, don't know. do what ilovefairuz said :-)
[21:35] <Faissal> hi there, anyone knows how one can install madwifi drivers on my ubuntu 10.10 ?
[21:35] <^Phantom2^> The only downside is that I can't connect to this chat when tethered through my phone...for some reason freenode has all of T-Mobile's data network banned due to some SASL thing. :(
[21:36] <sam-_-> Spirits-Sight, just /home and /etc
[21:36] <vvvccc> thanks
[21:37] <sam-_-> Spirits-Sight, some stuff is in /var like logs, websites or mail
[21:37] <ilovefairuz> Faissal: why do you need them? what chipset do you have? pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C network
[21:37] <ilovefairuz> !paste | Faissal
[21:37] <^Phantom2^> anywho, thankies, ilovefairuz.  I'll shush now and go back to playing my text-adventure games.  ^_^
[21:37] <Spirits-Sight> sam-_-: thanks
[21:37] <ilovefairuz> ^Phantom2^: you're welcome
[21:37] <sam-_-> Spirits-Sight, but i wouldn't bother putting them on different partitions.
[21:38] <sam-_-> Spirits-Sight, just back them up before you reinstall
[21:38] <folklore> ubuntu is nice
[21:38] <Spirits-Sight> sam-_- could you PM me please so its easer for my eyes to follow what you saying and I can ask a few other questions related to this
[21:38] <^Phantom2^> well, one more thing...the new laptop is a handmedown, but it has a brand new battery, 2GHz processor, 256mb vram, and supports up to 1GB of ram, which is perfect for ubuntu, once I get the new ram.  :D
[21:38] <^Phantom2^> Am I right about that?
[21:40] <AR_> anyone here familiar with the ubuntu version NegrOS
[21:40] <AR_> ?
[21:40] <socram> Negros means niggers in spanish
[21:40] <^Phantom2^> racism, for the *lose*
[21:40] <ilovefairuz> ^Phantom2^: standard ubuntu should be fine, try xubuntu if you want something lighter
[21:40] <Pweg> not quite, but close socram
[21:41] <sam-_-> AR_ are you sure about the name?
[21:41] <AR_> yes
[21:41] <socram> not quite? lol i'm spanish i know what negros means.
[21:41] <^Phantom2^> ilovefairuz, thankies, I'll try ubuntu first, and if that's too heavy for it, xubuntu it is
[21:41] <Sergey_IT> ^Phantom2^, 32 bit version
[21:41] <sam-_-> AR_ homepage of the os?
[21:41] <^Phantom2^> can xubuntu run on just 192mb ram?

[21:43] <Wicked> hello all. Im using transmission to download files to a samba mount. My normal user can read/write fine to the mounted samba share....but transmission-daemon(the transmission user/group) has issues. Ive added my normal user to the transmission ground and ive added transmission to my normal users group. I then ran "chmod 770" on my mounted share...but for some reasons transmission keeps having issues.
[21:43] <breadcrumb> !ops
[21:44] <detrix42> I compiled a program on my desktop, but want to install the program on my wife's netbook. How do I do this?
[21:44] <brukutu> any idea of how to  read value of accelerometer from cmd line?
[21:44] <pokerface> @op
[21:44] <pokerface> !op
[21:44] <pokerface> !ops
[21:44] <FloodBot1> pokerface: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:44] <Wicked> im trying to find out the permissions i need to set for both my normal user and the transmission daemon can access them
[21:45] <brukutu> Wicet, access what?
[21:45] <brukutu> Wicked, access what?
[21:46] <Wicked> brukutu, the samba share. right now transmission keeps stopping torrents with the permission denied error.
[21:46] <brukutu> any idea of how to  read value of accelerometer from cmd line?
[21:46] <brukutu> Wicked, so u got a samba drive mounted, where you save your torrents on?
[21:46] <Wicked> yea
[21:47] <brukutu> Wicked, just mount it as the user that is running tramission.
[21:47] <Wicked> normal user can access all the files...but the debian-transmission cannot
[21:47] <Wicked> well....thats not really ideal
[21:47]  * folklore slaps Wicked around a bit with a large trout
[21:47] <sam-_-> brukutu, depends on the accelerometer
[21:47] <Wicked> as downloading torrents is just one use of the drive...my normal user should(and does) get priority access. i just need transmission to have access also
[21:47] <guntbert> folklore: don't
[21:48] <brukutu> sam-_-, how do i find out wich one i got?
[21:48] <^Phantom2^> Here's a probably annoying question:  If I copy the laptop's entire hard drive to a back up drive (it's only ~30GB), would I be able to just up and copy eveything back over if an xubuntu installation fails?  Because I don't have any recovery or windows reinstallation CD for it. :S
[21:48] <sam-_-> brukutu, maybe it's accessible via /sys/
[21:48] <folklore> guntbert don't what
[21:48] <sam-_-> brukutu, start with a lshw maybe
[21:48] <brukutu> sam-_-, okie hold on
[21:48] <guntbert> folklore: don't post off topic comments
[21:49] <Harlequin> why isn't gimp installed factory with 10.10?
[21:49] <folklore> guntbert, don't tell me what to do? it was a misclick and you don't run this channel, thanks
[21:49] <ilovefairuz> Harlequin: to save space from the installation disk
[21:49] <breadcrumb> Wicked, as long as the debian-transmission group has write access to the download folder, it should work..
[21:49] <breadcrumb> thats how i have mine set up
[21:50] <Sary> Guys , anyone running Ubuntu on Toshiba satellite-u400 , if so .. which intel "Binary" graphic drive should work for intel series 4.
[21:50] <breadcrumb> drwxrwxr-x   2 me   debian-transmission  4096 2010-11-29 12:47 downloads
[21:50] <Wicked> breadcrumb, it should. ive added my normal user(mike) to the debian-transmission group. and ive added the debian-transmission user to the mike group...i then chmod'ed the folder to 770...which seems to work for a little bit..but somehow it always gets unset.
[21:51] <Wicked> also doing "chmod g+rw" on the folder works as well
[21:51] <^Phantom2^> I don't have any more blank CDs, and that laptop can't boot from USB, so I'll come back with questions after I get some CDs.  It might be a while, though, cause no job.  Thank you again for your help, everyone.  ^_^
[21:51] <ilovefairuz> ^Phantom2^: yes make an image of the disk or the partition want back up, for example: sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/usbdisk/backup.img
[21:51] <skullboy> i gone to install my video driver and it said there is an xserver running now what
[21:51] <Wicked> breadcrumb, are you specifying the create umask on the samba server(in the smb.conf)?
[21:52] <dimension_775> Harlequin: probably because ubuntu is targeted toward new linux users, and gimp as we all know is quite an advanced, feature rich program.  most new ubuntu users aren't going to use it, but luckily for the rest of us, it's in the repos and can be installed with a single command
[21:52] <breadcrumb> breadcrumb, yes... i do remember changing that to something
[21:52] <Wicked> breadcrumb, or are you using any options to mount the drive locally(like uid or gid in the fstab)?
[21:52] <ilovefairuz> ^Phantom2^: use  a live cd to to the backup and/or restore
[21:52] <^Phantom2^> ilovefairuz, thank you so much, that is so awesome.
[21:52] <breadcrumb> er, Wicked i mean
[21:52] <breadcrumb> dunno why im talking to my self
[21:52] <Wicked> lol
[21:52] <^Phantom2^> I'll do the backup once I get a live xubuntu alternative CD made...
[21:52] <Wicked> breadcrumb, ive set my create mask to 0770
[21:52] <dimension_775> Harlequin: and actually, i think they got rid of gimp starting with lucid 10.04
[21:52] <skullboy> i gone to install my video driver and it said there is an xserver running now what
[21:52] <Wicked> which i think is right
[21:53] <Vizzle> win 7 clients <--->(recommendation? samba?) <---> ubuntu server <---AFP---> OSX clients
[21:54] <basso1> exit
[21:54] <skullboy> i gone to install my video driver and it said there is an xserver running now what
[21:54] <breadcrumb> Wicked.. hmm.. mine is 0755 in smb.conf
[21:54] <breadcrumb> i also changed something in the transmission conf ill have a look
[21:54] <Wicked> yea the default one
[21:54]  * skullboy test
[21:55] <Vizzle> breadcrumb, you running samba?
[21:55] <Wicked> breadcrumb, can you also show me your mount line in fstab?
[21:55] <skullboy> i gone to install my video driver and it said there is an xserver running now what
[21:55] <Wicked> skullboy, shutdown xorg
[21:55] <Wicked> skullboy, iirc /etc/init.d/gdm stop should stop xorg.
[21:56] <breadcrumb> Wicked, in /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json i changed the umask value to "0" - cant remember exactly why, i know it was something with permissions
[21:56] <yannick> bonsoir
[21:56] <breadcrumb> i think i couldnt delete any files through the share
[21:56] <Wicked> breadcrumb, ah let me check mine.
[21:56] <breadcrumb> that were downloaded by transmission
[21:57] <Wicked> breadcrumb, hmm my umask in settings.json is 18 by default. im gonna try to make it 0.
[21:57] <breadcrumb> Wicked you have to stop the transmission service before you edit that file, just fyi
[21:57] <n8dyddy> whats the file in ubuntu for tweaking the touchpad value? anyone know?
[21:58] <n8dyddy> *values
[21:58] <_sudo> does anyone everhave the issue with the cursor becoming tiny and repeated on the y axis like 20 times to create a rectangular shape???
[21:58] <Wicked> breadcrumb, yea. thanks...i have had issues with that before...pita lol
[21:58] <n8dyddy> i know in freebsd i did it with a sysctl file
[21:58] <ilovefairuz> n8dyddy: man synclient
[21:58] <fadul> Hi
[21:59] <ilovefairuz> hello fadul
[21:59] <Wicked> hmm. though...im reading real quick....i think that setting in transmission is only for files it creates....not really sure its related to my issue.
[21:59] <Wicked> since transmissin needs permissions to write to disk....to apply that umask
[22:00] <n8dyddy> ok, apparently i dint even have a synaptics driver...
[22:00] <n8dyddy> *don't
[22:00] <Wicked> Users who want their saved torrents to be world-writable may want to set this value to 0.
[22:00] <n8dyddy> `synclient -l' tells me that
[22:00] <breadcrumb> oh yeah.. hmm
[22:00] <n8dyddy> my touchpad is working
[22:00] <cool_coaster> after  i update my display drivers i only get the console login
[22:01] <Wicked> breadcrumb, whats your /etc/fstab ine look like
[22:01] <Wicked> !nvidia | skullboy
[22:01] <bucky> Sary, it should be the  i915  type lsmod |grep i915   to see if it's loaded
[22:01] <rccacm> hello, I'm trying to get multimonitors to work for a virtual machine: using ubuntu 10.4LTS, I have tried this with VirtualBox on two hardware platforms: ATI and Intel
[22:01] <Ortizimo> hellow everyone
[22:02] <Ortizimo> i'm having a minor issue trying to install ubuntu 10.10
[22:02] <breadcrumb> Wicked http://pastebin.com/LPcXJFzX
[22:02] <rccacm> when I select fullscreen mode or seamless mode for my virtual machine, it only displays on the primary monitor
[22:02] <abstractstone> I might try 10.10 is it safe?
[22:02] <Wicked> breadcrumb, i dont see the line to mount the samba share in there
[22:02] <Ortizimo> are private msgs allowed
[22:02] <abstractstone> or should I stick with 9.04
[22:03] <abstractstone> thiking of burning a CD with 10.10... though maybe it would be better to ulse USB
[22:03] <Wicked> breadcrumb, for instance mine looks like: //192.168.1.100/share /Server cifs  credentials=/etc/samba/server.pass,gid=USER,forcegid   0 0
[22:03] <breadcrumb> Wicked my share is on the same box as the transmission-daemon is running on, i access that from other pcs on the network.. i guess my setup is different than yours
[22:03] <n8dyddy> usb is more convenient imo abstractstone
[22:03] <Ortizimo> can anyone here help me out with 10.10
[22:03] <abstractstone> okay n8dyddy ill try that tout them
[22:03] <Wicked> breadcrumb, ah gotcha.
[22:03] <ahayzen> Ortizimo what is the problem?
[22:04] <Ortizimo> i dont get the screen that asks me if I want to install ubuntu next to the OS i already have. it skips that and shows me a screen where partitions should be but there's nothing there like I dont have a HDD
[22:05] <Vizzle> ortizimo, what are you installing on (hardware)?
[22:05] <pilif12p> is it okay to remove /var/cache/apt ?
[22:05] <Ortizimo> no CD
[22:05] <rccacm> can someone tell me when I select "system  >> preferences >> monitors" what is that actually a frontend to?  I.e., is it using xrandr, or is it using ATIs utilities when I have an ATI card, or something else altogether?
[22:05] <Wicked> breadcrumb, welp thanks for the help anyways :)
[22:06] <abstractstone> is there a command line progrma I can use to tell me whether I need to get 32-bit or 64-bit?
[22:06] <breadcrumb> Wicked yup well i hope you fix it
[22:06] <ahayzen> if you boot into the live cd (try ubuntu) does it recognise the HDD there?
[22:06] <Sary> bucky, Thanks buddy , i'll check it out , as i have to make sure cuz i'm installing Ubuntu on a friend Toshiba laptop , although i checked the Ubuntu community Docs , No specific info there.
[22:06] <SeanInSeattle> Ok.  I'm super confused about how to build debian pkgs.  is this the right place to ask questions about building dpkgs?  Or should I be in ubuntu dev?
[22:06] <bucky> pilif12p, no.. but it's ok to remove the two bin files in there if apt is hung up
[22:06] <Vizzle> abstractstone, what kind of processor do you have?
[22:06] <bucky> Sary, you might need this in your xorg.conf also  https://docs.google.com/View?docid=dgd53r6d_36hqmmh4hn
[22:06] <abstractstone> Vizzle:  idon't know..
[22:06] <abstractstone> i686?
[22:06] <abstractstone> tsdat's whats in uname -a
[22:07] <Vizzle> abstractstone, what kind of computer is it? can you open it up and look at the motherboard?
[22:07] <Sary> bucky, will check it.
[22:07] <abstractstone> no I cannot open it
[22:07] <abstractstone> it's ajlaptop
[22:07] <abstractstone> I just dont know what bits to choose
[22:07] <abstractstone> I already have ubuntu on it
[22:07] <Vizzle> 32 bit
[22:07] <abstractstone> how do you know
[22:07] <bucky> Sary, that should be a fairly straight forward install
[22:08] <Vizzle> abstractstone, i don't, but its a safe bet : )
[22:08] <abstractstone> iysn't ther a command line program to tell me?
[22:08] <Vizzle> 'uname -a'
[22:09] <Vizzle> abstractstone, type 'uname -a'
[22:09] <Ortizimo> Vizzle...u there
[22:09] <Vizzle> Ortizimo, yeah, whats up
[22:09] <bucky> abstractstone, are you in windows and want to know which cpu?
[22:09] <Sary> bucky, Cool , as he need his lap soon enough ,will be his first time using Linux.:)
[22:09] <Ortizimo> im running from CD
[22:10] <abstractstone> bucky: I am on ubuntu
[22:10] <serve> hi people) i have troubles with nvidia drivers and xorg,conf
[22:10] <Vizzle> bucky, how are you with networking permissions? two users are able to AFP into the box, but the other two are not
[22:10] <rinku_kokiri> so how do i stop the clipboard from auto clearing when i close an app?
[22:11] <bucky> Vizzle, sounds like a port problem in someone's modem or something
[22:11] <bucky> open ports
[22:11] <rinku_kokiri> example: i copy text from firefox, opera, etc... close the app i copied from... my clipboard is empty  VERY ANNOYING
[22:11] <bucky> port forwarding
[22:11] <abstractstone> Here is: # ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
[22:11] <abstractstone> # ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[22:11] <sam-_-> rinku_kokiri, i wonder that to. cut and paste is f**d up
[22:11] <abstractstone> but I need i686! :(
[22:11] <serve> when I start ubuntu, it show me first white screen, then gray screen and then red/green/blue/white screen
[22:11] <sam-_-> to=too
[22:12] <Vizzle> bucky, all on LAN, can connect to afp server from two osx clients with two accounts, but not the other two
[22:12] <MBR_> hey guys can someone help for xrdp and kde
[22:12] <bucky> hmm.
[22:12] <Ortizimo> how do u prv msg
[22:12] <rinku_kokiri> since EVERYONE experiences this "bug" .. why hasn't it been fixed??
[22:13] <Faissal> hey can anyone tell me how can i use the iwlwifi driver for my intel wireless card instead of the iwlan drivers that got installed by default
[22:13] <MBR_> yes / no ????
[22:13] <Vizzle> bucky, i've chmodded root [share] directory for all users read/write/execute
[22:14] <sam-_-> !ask | MBR_
[22:14] <MBR_> kk
[22:14] <Vizzle> bucky, problem is when the actual connection is made, home folder doesn't show for other two accts
[22:14] <Vizzle> bucky, user1/admin user2,3,4 normal; but users 1,2 can connect no probs
[22:15] <MBR_> need help with xrdp / kde
[22:15] <rinku_kokiri> can anyone explain why the clipboard empties itself when the application you copied whatever from closes?>????
[22:15] <rinku_kokiri> i would like this solved
[22:15] <MBR_> KCMinit (kcminit_startup), signal: Segmentation fault
[22:15] <Sergey_IT> MBR_, not so bad news
[22:16] <berndhs> is there a way to get download counts from launchpad? so that I know if its worth releasing packages ?
[22:16] <sam-_-> MBR_, segmentation fault shouldn't ever happen. bad software
[22:16] <erUSUL> rinku_kokiri: that is standar X behavior use a clipboard manager
[22:16] <skulltip> rinku_kokiri - think it's similar to when you open a terminal set up some paths as a user, run something and then close - you have to set up your path again because you ran as a user?
[22:16] <MBR_> xrdp 0.5
[22:16] <bucky> Vizzle, sorry i cant' help.. maybe something in here  http://tinyurl.com/29zeuwz
[22:16] <FelipeSalto> hi iam brazilian =D
[22:16] <skulltip> it's a linux thing..
[22:17] <Canid> When installing something without Synaptic, what's the procedure?
[22:17] <erUSUL> !br | FelipeSalto
[22:17] <MBR_> so on local display is everything fine
[22:17] <MBR_> only via xrdp
[22:17] <FelipeSalto> who understand about hacking linux??
[22:17] <erUSUL> Canid: depends on the "something" ... is a package from source? a  deb? anything else?
[22:17] <Canid> I want to install Java SE JRE, since the IcedTea plugin isn't compatible with all the applets
[22:17] <erUSUL> !java | Canid
[22:18] <erUSUL> Canid: you need to enable partner
[22:18] <sam-_-> Faissal, blacklist the ones you don't want and modprobe the other ones?
[22:18] <rinku_kokiri> erUSUL, funny thing is.. i just did install a "clipboard manager" >> parcelite   but it doesn't work
[22:18] <peterkirn> Since upgrading to Maverick, getting nasty screen glitches in Chromium with nvidia drivers. What strikes me as odd is, I can't find others with the symptom; maybe I'm not describing it well? (assuming it's just Chrome not playing nice with Compiz)
[22:18] <Canid> Ah, thank-you. :)
[22:18] <Vizzle> bucky, been through all that, thx though : )
[22:18] <erUSUL> rinku_kokiri: i do not use it ... maybe it is not running?
[22:18] <Canid> I'm not on lucid though
[22:19] <killybilly> (to newcomers) is there a way to enable/disable persistency on a ubuntu live USB?
[22:19] <Canid> I'm using 10.10, does that make a difference?
[22:19] <rinku_kokiri> erUSUL, it appears i have to start an instance for each X server i have running
[22:19] <rinku_kokiri> SOLVED  ty
[22:19] <erUSUL> rinku_kokiri: no problem
[22:20] <ghost_> is it possible to get a virus in your bios
[22:21] <cbilljones> ghost_, that would rare but its possible
[22:21] <ghost_> how would i get it out if i had 1
[22:21] <mattt_> When installing a "wrapper-package" with apt-get why would I get dependency errors for certain packages that when installed on their own produce no installation errors?
[22:22] <cbilljones> ghost_, why do you think you have one?
[22:22] <ghost_> no not really but the idea popped up in my head
[22:23] <cbilljones> ghost, well i wouldnt worry about it, if so just reinstall, like anything else
[22:23] <MBR_> that do you mean with bad software
[22:23] <MBR_> what
[22:24] <jay019752> exit
[22:24] <ghost_> well i have a dell laptop here
[22:24] <panfist> is there a way to manually download all the dependencies of a package?
[22:24] <ghost_> and i cant get into the bios it will load about 1/8 than stop loading
[22:25] <cbilljones> ghost_ could be a hardware issue
[22:25] <sam-_-> ghost_ unplug all unnecessary devices
[22:26] <sam-_-> ghost_ could also be a memory issue.
[22:26] <jose__> hola
[22:26] <Vizzle> panfist, try http://www.howtoforge.com/checking-package-dependencies-with-apt-rdepends-on-debian-ubuntu
[22:26] <ghost_> but i took it apart and every thing looks fine
[22:26] <panfist> thanks
[22:26] <detrix42> I compiled a program on my desktop, but want to install the program on my wife's netbook. How do I do this? How do I install over a network.???
[22:26] <ghost_> and it let me in the bios like 2 time
[22:27] <sam-_-> ghost_ i doubt you can see a memory corruption
[22:27] <geekbri> detrix42: are they the same architecture? why not just compile it on her netbook
[22:27] <ghost_> true
[22:27] <mien> hi, i try to disable apm but hdparm outputs  HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: Input/output error and  HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Input/output error. can someone help me?
[22:27] <detrix42> geekbri: the netbook does not have all the needed build-essentials, and I dont want to put them on the netbook
[22:28] <geekbri> detrix42: ok thats fair enough, as long as its the same architecture why dont you SCP the files over? it just means you need to enable sshd
[22:28] <motoko> when I do a apt-get upgrade, the computer says: "The following packages have been kept back:  cups evolution-plugins linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic" Anybody knows why is this?
[22:29] <detrix42> geekbri: I have ssh installed on all computer in my home. I just want to let the make install part put pieces where they need to be.
[22:29] <sam-_-> motoko, because it would mean to install NEW packages not just upgrade already existing ones
[22:29] <Skaperen> I used this document ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB ... to turn off automounting.  Now when I insert a USB flash drive, it does not mount it as intended ... but there is a strange side effect ... it creates dozens of flash drive icons across the top panel bar, blocking everything else
[22:29] <incandenza> motoko: in that case you need to use dist-upgrade
[22:29] <detrix42> geekbri: or some how make a .deb package
[22:30] <geekbri> detrix42: oh i see, well thats a little more complicated i suppose... somebody else might be better equipped than me to answer that question
[22:30] <Skaperen> anyone ever seen that happen?
[22:30] <detrix42> geekbri: thanks though
[22:30] <sam-_-> motoko, sudo apt-get install  cups evolution-plugins linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
[22:31] <skullboy> hi
[22:31] <motoko> incandenza, if i do dist-upgrade it works, but i dont underestand why is this happening?
[22:31] <skullboy> ok i have no gui since i updated my kernel
[22:32] <Guest44092> alien abla castillano?
[22:32] <Skaperen> skullboy: sounds like a good thing to me :)
[22:32] <incandenza> motoko: it's normal when dependencies change; the apt-get man page explains it somewhat
[22:32] <Guest44092> o ruso
[22:33] <skullboy> ok im stuck at a termanal
[22:33] <berndhs> is there a specific channel for launchpad / deb packaging ?
[22:33] <Skaperen> skullboy: does this command give any results, effects, or error messages:  startx
[22:33] <cbilljones> skullboy can you run startx?
[22:34] <skullboy> it says nvidia kernel modual failed to load
[22:34] <Skaperen> skullboy: what version of ubuntu and kernel?
[22:34] <incandenza> motoko: basically it means it needs to add or remove other packages, which upgrade alone is not allowed to do
[22:34] <n0x> hia ll
[22:34] <skullboy> the newest one
[22:34] <n0x> hi all, i have a question about UFW
[22:34] <panfist> now that i have a list of package names on separate lines, how do i tell apt-get to get all these packages from the file?
[22:35] <Skaperen> skullboy: version number (so I know if there is even newer than I have)
[22:35] <skullboy> ok brb

[22:37] <RogueShadow> Is there a relatively simple way to load a module at boot up, as opposed to login.  its' a wireless adapter module, 8712u.ko   After I login use insmod to get my wifi working.
[22:37] <otak> !es|Guest44092
[22:37] <skullboy> 2.3.36
[22:38] <Skaperen> skullboy: that's ancient
[22:38] <sam-_-> RogueShadow /etc/modules
[22:38] <skullboy> or was it 2.6.36
[22:38] <I0niz3D> :)
[22:38] <Skaperen> see what kernels you have installed:   dpkg -l | fgrep linux-image-2
[22:38] <Skaperen> skullboy: do that to see what ALL kernels you have installed
[22:39] <skullboy> ill go check brb
[22:39]  * Skaperen suspects someone is dual booting
[22:39] <BitEncrypt> anybody know any secrets about ubuntu?
[22:39] <RogueShadow> sam-_-, that directory doesn't exist, will that auto load modules I put in there if I create it?
[22:39] <dwarder> what is CS problem?
[22:40] <_dead_> hi
[22:40] <skullboy> ok so i have 2.6.36
[22:40] <LADmaticCA> is it normal to only be able to launch one open office program at a time?
[22:41] <skullboy> ok so i have 2.6.36
[22:41] <Skaperen> only?  no other versions at all?
[22:41] <Skaperen> what ubuntu version did you install?  10.10 amd64 ?
[22:41] <coz_> LADmaticCA,  no I just opened three office programs
[22:42] <BitEncrypt> ladmaticca, yes and no...if you are trying to open up the same doc. then yes. if you want to open new docs. then no
[22:42] <skullboy> i have the genric one that came with ubuntu 10.10
[22:42] <LADmaticCA> coz_, I thought so. something's changed for me
[22:42] <coz_> LADmaticCA,  ah oh!   were there recent updates to office?
[22:42] <Skaperen> skullboy: 2.6.36 is not what 10.10 CD installs
[22:42] <Skaperen> skullboy: but it may be the latest ... I dunno ... I have not updated in a few days
[22:42] <coz_> LADmaticCA,  or other updates  recently
[22:43] <skullboy> ok so how do i get my video back
[22:43] <LADmaticCA> coz_, I haven't updated in a while. I dont see any available for open office
[22:43] <Skaperen> skullboy: get your old kernel back
[22:43] <coz_> LADmaticCA,  and this is ubuntu 10.10 ?
[22:43] <skullboy> yes
[22:43] <Skaperen> skullboy: did you delete the previous one?
[22:43] <LADmaticCA> coz_, 10.04 64bit
[22:43] <skullboy> no
[22:44] <mzuverink> Stupid question, but when in gnome terminal and done with your task, do you have to type "exit" at the command line or can you just exit by closing the window via the gui?
[22:44] <Skaperen> when I upgraded kernel, it kept the previous one, so when I do "dpkg -l | fgrep linux-image-2" it shows me both versions
[22:44] <amishrobots> circuit breaker went off in my house, cutting power to my puter. Now my sound doesn't work pavucontrol shows only "dummy output" for output devices, and volume control is showing nothing for hardware. apparently my soundcard has dissappeared? how can i tell it to make the soundcard work again?
[22:44] <coz_> LADmaticCA,  ok ...you could open syanptic package manager  hit Search type in openoffice  << one work,,, and reinstall the packages there to see if some thing may have happend to their configs
[22:44] <LADmaticCA> coz_, ok i'll get that a shot. thanks
[22:45] <Caelum> the ubuntu installer says you need 2.8g of space on a partition to install, I had that, but it still ran out of space
[22:45] <skullboy> so is there a way to work it with the kernal i have
[22:45] <AzoteLogiko> hello
[22:45] <timboy> anyone know of a p2p voice and IM application that creates connections between friends without the need of a server?
[22:45] <skullboy> so is there a way to work it with the kernal i have
[22:45] <AzoteLogiko> how can I see what Nvidia graphic drivers I have already installed in my Ubuntu 10.04 ?
[22:46] <AzoteLogiko> please
[22:46] <Skaperen> Caelum: mine installed more than that, but I don't remember how much ... I've added since so I can't see it now
[22:46] <Skaperen> I have 3.4G in /usr now
[22:46] <cbilljones> skullboy try removing nvidia driver
[22:46]  * Skaperen split his install into a few partitions
[22:46] <shane4ubuntu> how can I open port 5154 on my system?  ufw isn't running or enabled.  What is blocking?
[22:46] <RenatoSilva> how do I know if synaptic is installing recommendations by default?
[22:46] <Skaperen> cbilljones: good idea
[22:46] <Caelum> Skaperen: I have a 4gb usb stick, wanted to leave a gig free for other stuff, but now I'm using the whole stick
[22:47] <Skaperen> Caelum: how much swap space did you use?
[22:47] <Caelum> Skaperen: none
[22:47] <skullboy> kk brb
[22:47] <Skaperen> Caelum: it takes more because there are a bunch of .debs it works with ... I could not get an install on an SD card with less than 8G
[22:48] <Skaperen> Caelum: and that was back in 9.10
[22:48] <Amgine> Following this recipe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=214739  dpkg-buildpackage fails. Anyone have any idea why?
[22:48] <Amgine> (Trying to compile for pcntl.so for PHP5
[22:48] <Caelum> Skaperen: really? that sucks, well I'll try the 4g partition, if that fails I'm getting a new stick
[22:49] <juggmo> im lost trying to figure out what kind of intel video driver im using
[22:49] <juggmo> anyone know a command
[22:49] <Caelum> juggmo: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:50] <LADmaticCA> BitEncrypt, thanks. Yeah only one open office prog will open at a time
[22:50] <sam-_-> juggmo, or lsmod |grep intel
[22:51] <Dr_Willis> mzuverink:  its proberly best to use exit. in case you have any jobs/programs in the background still running.
[22:51] <Dr_Willis> bye all
[22:51] <bucky> juggmo, or lshw and look for the VGA compatible controller
[22:51] <coz_> juggmo,  try   lspci -k
[22:52] <juggmo> ahh yes, i was lost in that .log file, thanks guys
[22:52] <LADmaticCA> coz_, okay. I can launch multiple open office programs as long as one has an opened file
[22:52] <juggmo> lshw is what i was looking for
[22:52] <thethinker> does anyone have experince in Adobe cs5 and wine?
[22:52] <coz_> LADmaticCA,  mm this is definilty odd
[22:53] <coz_> LADmaticCA,  this is after the reinstallation?
[22:53] <LADmaticCA> coz_, yes
[22:53] <coz_> LADmaticCA,  well we're closer :)
[22:53] <vacho> anyone here running a VPS with multiple users?
[22:54] <coz_> LADmaticCA,   the other   alternative is to remove all of the packages  and then reinstall them... but in all honesly I dont use openoffice at all... so my experience with its configs...if they exist is very limited
[22:54] <bucky> LADmaticCA, there is a ppa for libreoffice but i think it's considered beta
[22:55] <LADmaticCA> coz_, Oh it's nothing too important. just wanted to confirm if it was just me
[22:55] <Hirager> Is it possible, that, due to some weird hardware flaw, netbook hangs up completely?
[22:55] <aszpain2> How do you say to gcc to include a directory and all its subdirs when looking for header files?
[22:55] <Hirager> Sorry
[22:55] <Hirager> Hangs up because of COLD?
[22:56] <bucky> aszpain2,  -I/path/to/includes.h
[22:56] <LADmaticCA> bucky, okay. does it replace the open office files?
[22:56] <aszpain2> no that only search the dir u specify
[22:57] <bucky> LADmaticCA, you have to remove OOorg completely and then find the ppa and follow the instructions.. I haven't done it so YMMV
[22:57] <skullboy> ok so im useing the genric video drivers how do i uninstall the nvidia ones
[22:57] <aszpain2> When you download a X-dev package it copies the header files to /usr/include right?
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: use the hardware driver install app
[22:58] <bucky> aszpain2, dpkg -L <packagename>  to see where it installs to
[22:59] <aszpain2> The problem is that when u apt-get install whatever-dev it installs header files to /usr/include
[22:59] <aszpain2> right?
[22:59] <bucky> aszpain2, dpkg -L <packagename>  to see where it installs to
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: its under administration
[22:59] <aszpain2> no to /usr/include/X
[22:59] <AriNAbF> Upon boot up I used to have the option of which OS I wanted to use now I don't. What happened?
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: you can also run:  dpkg -l | grep nvidia     and remove the packages found
[23:00] <vacho> why doesnt my arrow keys work when im ssh:ing to my ubuntu web server????????????
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> vacho: different keyboard layout maybe,
[23:00] <vacho> what do I do?
[23:02] <mohamed> salut a tlmd
[23:02] <bucky> skullboy, Administration -> Additional Drivers handled that for me but i did have to run something like ati-config to set up my xorg.conf to load it
[23:02] <vacho> ActionParsnip: I have two users accounts on my VPS, it works with one but not with the other
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> vacho: Try dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> vacho: ok then don't
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> vacho: check the .bashrc    for both users maybe
[23:03] <bucky> skullboy, i forget what it's called for nvidia,,, nvidiaconf or something?
[23:03] <skullboy> no its still xconfig
[23:03] <bucky> ok
[23:03] <MichRT> I cant connect my iPod Touch 2G after the update to iOS 4.2.1 any suggestions?
[23:04] <vacho> ActionParsnip: im in that file, now what
[23:04] <aszpain2> Let me reformule: Imagine a .c program declares #include <gst/gst.h>, and you know that .h file is in gstreamer package, then u do: "apt-get install gstreamer" , this copies .h file to /usr/include/packagename/gst/gst.h, and when u try to compile the .c file it doesnt work because the .h file must be in /usr/include/gst/gst.h not in /usr/include/packagename/gst/gst.h WHY?
[23:05] <bucky> MichRT, have you tried in #ipodtouchfans
[23:05] <BernardV> I've installed ubuntu on a Advantech Trek-743. It's running fine, but it can't find the GPS device. The Advantech docs say something about a modprobe cdc_acm, tried that... no luck. The GPS device is an uBLox LEA-5S. Does anybody know how I could make this work?
[23:05] <xangua> MichRT: next time don't update iOS
[23:05] <stiv2k> Hi, what packages are installed when you select "Install third party software" in the ubiquity installer? I forgot to select it and I want to install the third party media formats now...
[23:06] <Hirager> Can my netbook hang because of low temperature specifically? I am trying to nail down those crashes' source.
[23:06] <xangua> MichRT: i recently read http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/webupd8/~3/0kHr49_g4M8/get-ios4-mountsync-working-in-ubuntu.html
[23:06] <mgolisch> azs
[23:06] <mgolisch> ups
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> vacho: compare the two
[23:06] <skullboy> ok when i start my system it says "Failed To Load The NVIDIA Kernel Module"
[23:06] <aszpain2> Let me reformule again: Imagine a .c program declares #include <gst/gst.h>, and you know that .h file is in gstreamer package, then u do: "apt-get install gstreamer-dev" , this copies .h file to /usr/include/packagename/gst/gst.h, and when u try to compile the .c file it doesnt work because the .h file must be in /usr/include/gst/gst.h not in /usr/include/packagename/gst/gst.h WHY?
[23:07] <skullboy> ok when i start my system it says "Failed To Load The NVIDIA Kernel Module"
[23:07] <bucky> stiv2k, go to Settings in Synaptic and add Multiverse
[23:07] <bucky> under repos
[23:07] <skullboy> ok when i start my system it says "Failed To Load The NVIDIA Kernel Module"
[23:07] <mgolisch> aszpain2: just add /usr/include/gstreamer-something to your include path
[23:07] <stiv2k> bucky: thats all it does?
[23:07] <mgolisch> aszpain2: it should work properly then
[23:07] <vacho> to many problems with linux ubuntu
[23:08] <aszpain2> mgolish yeah but thats a shit... there are so many .h files!
[23:08] <aszpain2> no it should not...
[23:08] <bucky> stiv2k, then reload and install what you need.. i was prompted in firefox to install codecs
[23:08] <mgolisch> aszpain2: any ide that understands pkconfig should easily be able to work with that
[23:08] <CkhiKuzad> Is it possible for me to install and use Unity in 10.04?
[23:08] <aszpain2> because when u install a dev package it installs it to /usr/include/PACKAGANAME
[23:08] <churl> rfkill list is returning a "hard blocked:  yes" for my wifi.  Fn + F2 isnt turning wifi on either, ideas?
[23:09] <tensorpudding> vacho: what is your problem?
[23:09] <MichRT> Thanks xangua I'm trying it now. And thanks for the channel bucky
[23:09] <detrix42> I what to make an application launcher. the application is a .jar file. whats the command in the application launcher to java 6 runtime?
[23:09] <skullboy> ok when i start my system it says "Failed To Load The NVIDIA Kernel Module"
[23:09] <zaphod> exit
[23:09] <stiv2k> bucky: ubiquity doesnt actually install any programs? I thought it installs flash and some others
[23:09] <mgolisch> aszpain2: yeah sure, for example there is somethimes multiple versions of the same library thats why
[23:09] <aszpain2> yeah but its ridiculous that when u make : apt-get install x-dev it doesnt do the things in the right way for aid you to compile things
[23:10] <mgolisch> aszpain2:  it wouldnt work otherwise as foo/bar.h would just overwrite foo/bar.h if it wasnt packaged like that
[23:10] <juggmo> i hate to be a total douchebag, im having a hell of a time finding a generic xorg.conf file
[23:10] <juggmo> anyone know a good resrouce
[23:10] <skullboy> ok when i start my system it says "Failed To Load The NVIDIA Kernel Module"
[23:10] <tensorpudding> why do you need a generic xorg.conf file?
[23:10] <aszpain2> mgolisch... hmm yeah it has sense.. but dude its a chinesse work sometimes to specify all the fuc king PATHS to h files
[23:11] <juggmo> tensorpudding: to get a good start on editing it, i got a few things i want to add but want a proper one
[23:11] <tensorpudding> there used to be programs for generating it
[23:11] <aszpain2> why cant u specify a dir and then GCC look into that dir and subdirs for all .h files he needs?
[23:11] <aszpain2> hmmmm
[23:11] <tensorpudding> but since xorg can work without one now, you almost never need it
[23:11] <mgolisch> aszpain2: not realy as pkgconfig returns the correct include paths for a package, its probably just that the build scripts are done badly
[23:11] <erUSUL> juggmo: you can try this « sudo Xorg -configure :1 » and then copy the generated xorg.conf to /etc/X11/
[23:12] <mgolisch> like they do not use pkgconfig
[23:12] <skullboy> ok when i start my system it says "Failed To Load The NVIDIA Kernel Module"
[23:12] <CkhiKuzad> !unity | CkhiKuzad
[23:12] <juggmo> erUSUL: doesnt that just make a blank one?
[23:12] <tensorpudding> skullboy: do you have an nvidia graphics chipset?
[23:12] <vacho> im getting: [[D^[[A
[23:12] <vacho> insted of left rgith
[23:12] <erUSUL> juggmo: not blank it writtes one baed on your hardware/conf
[23:12] <skullboy> yea 8500 gt
[23:12] <tensorpudding> skullboy: did you choose to install the driver provided by nvidia, or the free nvidia driver
[23:13] <skullboy> free one
[23:13] <fleshpike> hello, i guess i found the source of my problem with ubuntu. maybe it is the via motherboard agp port that s making the mess can someone help?
[23:13] <juggmo> erUSUL, cool man i appreciate it
[23:13] <tensorpudding> skullboy: you should pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:13] <detrix42> whats the command line for starting the JRE?
[23:13] <aszpain2> But does anyone catch my point? I mean I want to compile a .c program that defines a #include <gst/gst.h> but I miss thtat file, so I want a command that can get me that file and let me compile my .c file
[23:14] <skullboy> ????
[23:14] <DerNalia> hey... I just installed ubuntu, and when my computer goes to sleep, my password won't work.. i have to go switch user, and then my password will work. Also sudo doesn't work with my login password
[23:14] <tensorpudding> skullboy: open the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and copy the contents to http://pastebin.com/
[23:15] <RogueShadow> For the first time ever, my internet connection was established before I logged in, thanks for help.  Next issue, I want some programs to startup at boot too, they rely on the internet, so that first problem was really necessary.  znc irc bouncer, and a minecraft server. Would be great to get those going at first boot (incase i'm not here and somebody restarts :(  )

[23:19] <tensorpudding> vacho: it's possible (not sure how though) that Ubuntu doesn't have a terminfo for the terminal emulator you're using

[23:20] <tensorpudding> i'm very nearly positive that OSX uses a standard one though

[23:21] <tensorpudding> vacho: this is only in Terminal.app? does it do this in a different terminal?
[23:21] <CkhiKuzad> How would i be able to add a custom command to bash, allowing me to shorten "sudo apt-cache search <Package>" into just "search <Package>"
[23:21] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : i read this "see http://dri.sourceforge.net (try the
[23:21] <fleshpike> x11-drm ebuild)" and want to try it. do you have an idea?
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> DerNalia: not a very secure password at all dude
[23:21] <tensorpudding> vacho: does it do this every time you log in?
[23:21] <vacho> tensorpudding: when I login as admin it works fine..when I login to the same vps as another user it does not work
[23:22] <kcorcoran> ActionParsnip:  the package wouldn't describe the command i am looking for.  thanks anyway.
[23:22] <DerNalia> ActionParsnip: My main computer is a mac, I'm trying out ubuntu on my HP
[23:22] <shdwpuppet> has anyone had success with getting 10.10 to work on the Eee PC 1215N, particularly the nvidia ion2?
[23:22] <DerNalia> didn't care about coming up with a password
[23:22] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: very sure that DRI is used in Ubuntu by default
[23:22] <tensorpudding> if you're using the binary video drivers you don't need them
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> kcorcoran: i have no idea about your issue so I didn't reply to any of it. What did you expect?
[23:22] <tensorpudding> vacho: same terminal?

[23:23] <Sickler> can someone recommend me a good book for the oracle certified java associate exam with no background in programming
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> DerNalia: the sudo password is the one you log in with, that gives you all the access you can need

[23:23] <vacho> karmic
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> !ot | Sickler
[23:23] <tensorpudding> it's possible that it's an old bug
[23:24] <tensorpudding> does it persist if you change your shell?
[23:24] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : binary video drivers. could you be more specific please?
[23:24] <kcorcoran> ActionParsnip:  I asked a question; your reply wasn't in regards to what i asked.  I simply thanked you for the reply.  Nothing more than that.
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> kcorcoran: i see, sorry
[23:24] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: as in, the drivers provided by nvidia and ati for their cards
[23:24] <kcorcoran> ActionParsnip:  it's cool :)
[23:24] <DerNalia> ActionParsnip: is there any way for it to cahnge or to be different from my login password? I switched to DVORAK, is it possible that during password entering, asside from the login menu, the keyboard layout changed to some other layout where the numbers aren't in the right spot? I installed UBUNTU with the wrong DVORAK layout, and later had to change it
[23:24] <Sickler> is there a soln to usb wireless mouses freezing, 10.04, logitech mouse
[23:24] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: which are not included in ubuntu by default, but will be available through System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers
[23:25] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : yes im using them. so the problem it is not with the mother board agp port?
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> DerNalia: not that I know of, the sudo password is your logon pass. So switching layouts will cause an issue
[23:26] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: what is your "problem"
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> Sickler: when it stops, open a terminal with CTRL+ALT+T and run:   dmesg | tail     it may give clues
[23:26] <Sickler> ActionParsnip, thx will do
[23:27] <grishnav> hey
[23:27] <DerNalia> ActionParsnip: is there any way to see the password being typed? in case the keyboard layout is switching? cause I have no idea what I'm typing anymore
[23:27] <grishnav> has anyone noticed an increase in load average after using ksplice to patch on ubuntu server 10.10?
[23:27] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : i got this to messages "agpgart-sis 0000:00:00.0: AGP 2.0 bridge" and "agpgart-sis 0000:00:00.0: putting AGP V2 device into 4x mode" does it help you?
[23:27] <tensorpudding> vacho: does it only do this with the up key?
[23:27] <grishnav> I'm seeing constant LAs >1 even though, best as I can tell, my box is doing _nothing_
[23:27] <tensorpudding> vacho: or with left/right also
[23:27] <tensorpudding> vacho: check to make sure you're using bash as your shell
[23:28] <vacho> tensorpudding: it does that will all cursor keys, up down left right
[23:28] <Vizzle> question regarding automount issues when starting ubuntu server 10.04
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> DerNalia: if you type in the terminal with a prompt, rather than in the sudo request you can see what is being typed
[23:28] <DerNalia> I know
[23:28] <DerNalia> but I think the layout might be switching when I'm prompted for a password
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> DerNalia: very very unlikely
[23:29] <vacho> tensorpudding: ive tried both terminal and coda, two different software with same prolem..
[23:29] <DerNalia> well... then this is messed up some how
[23:29] <tensorpudding> vacho: and then try "bash --noprofile", which will run bash without reading configuration files
[23:29] <DerNalia> I can login with 1234 but I can't get out of sleep with 1234
[23:29] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : i got this to messages "agpgart-sis 0000:00:00.0: AGP 2.0 bridge" and "agpgart-sis 0000:00:00.0: putting AGP V2 device into 4x mode" does it help you?
[23:29] <tensorpudding> vacho: what's coda? that's not really the answer to my question
[23:29] <DerNalia> but I can click switch user, and go back to my desktop with 1234
[23:29] <vacho> bash --noprofile that worked!
[23:29] <vacho> wtf.
[23:29] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: i've no idea what those messages mean...are they tied to some kind of problem?
[23:29] <Vizzle> if ubuntu server is restarted, is there an automount script that can be run to mount an internal hardware raid array (/media/Raidarray) (/dev/sdb1)
[23:30] <tensorpudding> vacho: it means that one of your configuration files is borked
[23:30] <vacho> tensorpudding: how do I fix it?
[23:30] <tensorpudding> vacho: probably the user's ~/.bashrc, or ~/.bash_profile
[23:30] <tensorpudding> vacho: you can delete them, or look inside to figure out what's causing breakage
[23:30] <vacho> tensorpudding: how do I delete a user and it's home directory?
[23:30] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : they are log messages. the problem i have is that the screen goes mad. dont know if they are associated with
[23:30] <tensorpudding> vacho: you don't want to delete the user, do you?
[23:31] <vacho> tensorpudding: ya, I just created it 10 min ago :) its ok
[23:31] <tensorpudding> vacho: if you created this user by hand, then the bad configuration is probably something in the default bashrc (which is very strange)
[23:31] <tensorpudding> vacho: why do you want to delete the user?
[23:31] <vacho> tensorpudding: I want to delete it and create it again..maybe that will solve the broken file
[23:32] <Israfel> is there anything I can edit for Ubuntu tash deletion that would let me do a DoD wipe? I really don't like simply "emptying" my documents.
[23:32] <tensorpudding> Israfel: what's a DoD wipe? probably no free tools are certified by the Department of Defense
[23:32] <Vizzle> israfel, try truecrypt
[23:33] <Israfel> A DoD wipe is simply writing over the file with 1's then 0's a certain number of times.
[23:33] <tensorpudding> Israfel: shred is guaranteed to overwrite the file, though it's not guaranteed to be unrecoverable with forensic methods
[23:33] <tensorpudding> shred does multiple passes
[23:33] <Israfel> I don't care about forensic methods, just don't want joe schmoe getting my financial documents.
[23:33] <tensorpudding> then shred is good enough
[23:34] <Vizzle> Israfel, DOD is 35x pass....
[23:34] <Solved> tensorpudding: shred? - how do I do this?
[23:34] <Israfel> tensorpudding, COol, does it tie in with trash emptying?
[23:34] <Vizzle> just write zeros
[23:34] <tensorpudding> if you're giving the laptop to someone else, you can use dd to do multiple full-disk zeroings
[23:34] <tensorpudding> Israfel: i don't believe so
[23:35] <tensorpudding> Solved: it's a command-line program
[23:35] <Israfel> tensorpudding, Nah, I just don't want my netbook to have important info on it if it's ever stolen at school.
[23:35] <tensorpudding> Solved: it's available as a package
[23:35] <Solved> I see
[23:35] <Vizzle> Israfel, http://www.dban.org/
[23:36] <vacho> how do I create a new user in ubuntu and associate a home directory to it?
[23:36] <MikeSee> hi, i'm trying to use my ipod touch 2gen on unbuntu 10, it lists on lsusb, but doesn't show up on the desktop automagically, any ideas?
[23:36] <Fookin_Prawn> vacho: sudo useradd
[23:37] <tensorpudding> if you're worried about it getting stolen, then the best method is to never have these files touch the disk unencrypted
[23:37] <Fookin_Prawn> vacho: for more info do: man useradd
[23:37] <vacho> will that create a home directory too?
[23:37] <Vizzle> 'dd if/dev/random of=/dev/hda'
[23:37] <tensorpudding> by configuring encrypted swap, and some kind of filesystem encryption
[23:37] <Israfel> Vizzle, lol, overkill. I just want to empty documents I'm done editing so that they're not hanging around on my laptop for anyone to recover.
[23:37] <Fookin_Prawn> vacho: yep.
[23:37] <bundo> o
[23:37] <bundo> ok
[23:37] <tensorpudding> ubuntu allows for encrypted home partitions but unfortunately it makes hibernate not work
[23:37] <DoYouKnow> Can someone please download the bcmmon file attached to this topic for me and post it to a site?: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1446305
[23:37] <DoYouKnow> I locked my account account accidentally
[23:38] <vacho> it didnt create home directory ahhhh
[23:38] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : is there a problem if you use a agp 8x  in a 2x/4x slot?
[23:39] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: pretty sure that it's not
[23:39] <Euthanatos> i don't think 8x fits 2x/4x
[23:39] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: though of course, your bandwidth is limited
[23:39] <Fookin_Prawn> vacho: it should've. Wait a bit and check the homedrive again
[23:39] <tensorpudding> the 8x will fit, i think]
[23:39] <Sickler> my 10.04 takes an awful long time for the log in screen to show up after the background image shows up
[23:40] <Sickler> log in box**
[23:40] <tensorpudding> i believe they designed 8x so that it will take advantage of 8x slots, but will still fit 4x slots
[23:40] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : so that is not the problem, what should it be then?
[23:40] <Fookin_Prawn> vacho: if it didn't, then check your /etc/default/useradd and look for what the default directory is
[23:40] <DoYouKnow> please
[23:40] <detrix42> How do I setup an app launcher to invoke the java 6 runtime to run a .jar file?
[23:40] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: what should what be?
[23:40] <luxurymode> totally new to linux here. installed on my laptop. cannot believe ive been using windows all these years. can anyone recommend some must-have apps after first install of ubuntu?
[23:40] <tensorpudding> detrix42: "java -jar /path/to/jar"
[23:41] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : my problem is that the screen goes mad the computer is old perhaps is that?
[23:41] <detrix42> tensorpudding: thats what I have. but its not launching.
[23:41] <detrix42> argh
[23:41] <vacho> its home
[23:41] <tensorpudding> detrix42: assuming that java is configured to point to the java runtime you want (it should be by default, though if you have multiple jre's it might not be the one you want)
[23:41] <DoYouKnow> PLEASE FOR GODS SAKES
[23:41] <Vizzle> anyone have a running samba+afp server?
[23:41] <tensorpudding> DoYouKnow: what?
[23:42] <tgywa> What could cause this http://pastebin.com/9kNnR9x5 ?
[23:42] <detrix42> tensorpudding: when I right click, and say start with java runtime, it works
[23:42] <vacho> does anyone know how to create a new user with home directory?
[23:42] <DoYouKnow> tensorpudding, download the bcmmon.diff.zip file from here and post to a site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1446305... I keep getting locked out
[23:42] <tensorpudding> locked out how?
[23:42] <tgywa> This is php processes running wordpress 2.9.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 & Apache ...

[23:43] <tensorpudding> oh
[23:43] <vacho> Fookin_Prawn: thats not a valid command
[23:43] <vacho> useradd --create-home

[23:45] <sogelen> ...
[23:45] <luxurymode> can anyone recommend some must-have apps after first install of ubuntu?
[23:45] <kcorcoran> i am planning to download/compile (learning to at least) a program.  i have read the documentation explaining the dependencies of the application i am installing.  how can i check my system to determine if a) i already have the dependent program and b) if its the correct version?  ANSWER: dpkg
[23:45] <kcorcoran> luxurymode: flightgear :)
[23:46] <vacho> thanks!
[23:46] <tensorpudding> luxurymode: emacs, google chrome, avant window navigator, eclipse
[23:46] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : is it possible to install motherboard drivers as graphical in ubuntu?
[23:46] <sogelen> 你们好
[23:46] <tensorpudding> !cn | sogelen
[23:47] <vacho> Fookin_Prawn: I created a new user and I still have issues with my cursor keys..wierd.
[23:47] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: why do you think it's a driver issue?
[23:47] <luxurymode> tensorpudding: thank you!
[23:47] <tensorpudding> luxurymode: those are my "must-haves", but i doubt you'll find them as such
[23:47] <luxurymode> tensorpudding: how do i quickly find out names of apps so i know how to ref it for sudo apt-get install APPNAME?
[23:47] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : i guess i had the same problem in windows i cant remember
[23:47] <Fookin_Prawn> vacho: that's ubuntu for you lol
[23:48] <tensorpudding> luxurymode: the easy way to install apps is using the software center, you can search names and descriptions
[23:48] <tensorpudding> luxurymode: but if you really want to use apt by hand, "apt-cache search <foo>" will list all packages matching <foo> in name or description
[23:48] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : when i had the two systems installed somehow windows "managed"ubuntu
[23:49] <tensorpudding> vacho: this new user has the same bash config as the old one...
[23:49] <luxurymode> tensorpudding: thanks!
[23:49] <tensorpudding> vacho: you need to delete it
[23:49] <vacho> tensorpudding: how
[23:49] <tensorpudding> vacho: as the user, do "rm ~/.bash*"
[23:50] <Fookin_Prawn> must-haves: vim, irssi...
[23:50] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : dont know how to solve it soo i thought about drivers
[23:50] <aetaric> booting a thin-client ubuntu 10.04, it starts eth0 up, and then my cisco router(dhcp server) spews errors about malformed option 61. any ideas about how to solve?
[23:50] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: if you had the problem in both, it's almost surely a hardware issue, not drivers
[23:50] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: in which case, it might well be because the system is old
[23:50] <vacho> tensorpudding: did that and logged out and then in .. still same issue.
[23:50] <tensorpudding> vacho: but running "bash --noprofile" works?
[23:51] <tensorpudding> vacho: are you sure that your shell is bash?
[23:51] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : when you mention old do you refer to much use?
[23:51] <tensorpudding> vacho: before running bash --noprofile, tell me what you get when you do "echo $SHELL"
[23:51] <vacho> tensorpudding: no im not.. im doign ssh
[23:52] <tensorpudding> vacho: ssh just mediates a connection, it defers to the VPS user's shell for everything else
[23:52] <vacho> i get . /bin/sh
[23:52] <tensorpudding> vacho: well that's why
[23:52] <tensorpudding> vacho: sh doesn't support arrow keys
[23:52] <vacho> tensorpudding: ok?
[23:52] <fleshpike> hello
[23:52] <vacho> tensorpudding:  :)
[23:52] <tensorpudding> vacho: run "chsh -s /bin/bash"
[23:52] <tensorpudding> then log out and in again
[23:53] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : the connection went down. do you read me?
[23:53] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : when you mention old do you mean to much use?
[23:53] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: when i said old, it could well be that your memory has degraded and has errors, or that your video card is glitching
[23:54] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: this is usually due to use, yes
[23:54] <Thanos_b161> hellon everyone
[23:54] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: you can test the memory to figure out if that is the reason
[23:54] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: using memtest86+
[23:54] <vacho> tensorpudding: it works perfect now, care to explain what happened here?
[23:54] <Thanos_b161> ive got a little problem with alsa sound
[23:54] <vacho> tensorpudding: 1000x thank you's
[23:55] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : what about the mother board agp port or the graphic card? can i test them to?
[23:55] <tensorpudding> vacho: think of it this way
[23:55] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: if you have a spare AGP video card that you know is functional, you can test it
[23:55] <tensorpudding> fleshpike: if you use that card instead, and the problem persists, it's not the fault of your video card, otherwise it is the fault of the video card
[23:56] <tensorpudding> vacho: when you run ssh, it basically does a login on the remote machine
[23:56] <tensorpudding> vacho: the same as if you were at the console
[23:56] <tensorpudding> vacho: which starts the default user shell
[23:56] <fleshpike> tensorpudding : thanks
[23:56] <tensorpudding> vacho: for some reason, the default shell for users was set as /bin/sh, which is old and lacking in helpful features
[23:57] <tensorpudding> vacho: in OSX, the default shell is bash, and the default shell for your admin was presumably bash also
[23:57] <Thanos_b161> my prob is that i can only hear sound from fron left and front right speakers but not from full 5.1 or optical
[23:57] <C1iFF> glx extension not working plz help! have tried lots of things but none work.
[23:57] <tensorpudding> vacho: chsh -s /bin/bash set the default shell to bash
[23:57] <vacho> ok thanks
[23:57] <vacho> w
[23:58] <vacho> it works perfect now thanks
[23:58] <Thanos_b161> does anyone have any idea
[23:58] <tensorpudding> vacho: if you want to create other users, they will have sh by default still
[23:58] <tensorpudding> vacho: you should probably fix this
[23:59] <craigbass1976> What do I need to do in order to fire up a terminal while my wife's logged into x, su - me and then start firefox?  I used to do this years ago in fedora, couldn't once I switched over to dapper, and keep forgetting to find out why.
[23:59] <luxurymode> anyone have a recommendation for a text expander for ubuntu?
[23:59] <vacho> tensorpudding: ok thanks!! another question.. how do I use cp (copy files) and include hidden files.
