[00:00] <SuperPaco69> hello
[00:00] <SuperPaco69> how can I add a user with out a user??
[00:01] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: ???
[00:01] <goltoof> superbenjo:   you don't do it
[00:01] <Neldogz> Does anyone know how to change the vboxnet ip settings on virtual box?
[00:01] <MojoWork> when there's only one kernel, what key to you have to get to see the grub list so you can choose recovery / single user?
[00:01] <goltoof> SuperPaco69:  you don't do it
[00:01] <SuperPaco69> sorry shcherbak
[00:01] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, a user with out a passwrd
[00:01] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, a user and being in 3 different groups
[00:02] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: why, what do you want to do? just add user to groups
[00:02] <goltoof> Neldogz:  network settings
[00:02] <bezao> how can i update my ap-tget?
[00:02] <goltoof> bezao:  sudo apt-get update
[00:02] <trojan_spike> bezao, update?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> bezao: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[00:03] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak,   I have 3 grops and I have to add several users to each group but I do not have the password the password wil be generated by my boss
[00:03] <bezao> got error on update from web
[00:03] <Neldogz> goltoof: i want to enable a host host-only adapter but this adapter has a default IP of           inet addr:192.168.56.1  Bcast:192.168.56.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
[00:03] <goltoof> SuperPaco69:  just set a temporary password and change it later
[00:03] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, so they do not have pass for the moment... and my boss pass shcherbak will be without a pass
[00:03] <Neldogz> so i want to change this IP and network
[00:04] <SuperPaco69> goltoof, how can do this?? useraodd -G "group" -p @@@@ ... but without apass how can I do it goltoof ???
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> Neldogz: you can do it in network manager
[00:04] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: root can overrite password, habit is to make "generic" passwords as acronyms of username --> emanresu
[00:05] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, but my boss needs no pass... he wants like that
[00:05] <superbenjo> goltoof : so i can't do anything bout my graphic card problem ??? what a pity
[00:06] <MojoWork> no one knows? i've got a friends laptop that won't boot. trying to try single user
[00:06] <Neldogz> ActionParsnip: i dont see the virtual adapter listed in network manager
[00:06] <MojoWork> or otherwise get rid of the stoopid splash screen that hides the error
[00:06] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: that silly, make sure to disable users with no passwords
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: if you have an installed OS but no boot, boot to liveCD and reinstate grub2
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Neldogz: then you can use /etc/network/interfaces  if you wish
[00:07] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, ok
[00:07] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: it was installed long ago. i just want to know how to get the grub menu when there's only one kernel
[00:07] <waxel740> How does one actually register a name with freenode?
[00:07] <MojoWork> it's going straight to a boot splash
[00:07] <bastidrazor> !register
[00:07] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=250818
[00:07] <Lupditerra> Can anyone assist me with Unity?
[00:07] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: it hangs during the boot, after the kernel loads
[00:07] <replicasex> You can also go to #help I think to get your nick cloaked
[00:08] <Neldogz> actually, i found it. It was within the network settings within Virtual Box =)
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: if you run: uname -a    thats your current kernel, you can then run:  dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2    you can see the installed kernels, you can remove the unwanted kernels (but NEVER the running kernel) and they will be removed from the boot list
[00:08] <goltoof> superbenjo:  sorry last remark was to another super
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: can you use an older kernel?
[00:08] <goltoof> Neldogz:  told ya :)
[00:08] <MojoWork> waxel740: /msg nickserv help
[00:09] <superbenjo> ok, goltoof , can you help me with my graphic card ???
[00:09] <waxel740> I've tried registering before, but it wouldn't accept my email address regardless of it being a genuine address such as yahoo,hotmail, or gmail
[00:09] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: i don't get a grub menu to select one. what key do you have to hit to get one?
[00:09] <MojoWork> rather than have to boot straight into the default kernel?
[00:09] <MojoWork> that's what im looking for
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: hold shift
[00:09] <MojoWork> ah, thanks
[00:10] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: sorry wrong link --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412687
[00:10] <goltoof> superbenjo:  yea i can, i just don't know how :P
[00:11] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: worked like a charm, thanks, that was exactly what i was asking for ;)
[00:11] <superbenjo> rrr, what'd you mean, goltoof
[00:11] <goltoof> superbenjo:  what makes you so sure it's your gfx card driver?
[00:11] <MojoWork> i personally hate that crap
[00:11] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, do you have the sintax??
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: simple stuff dude
[00:11] <SuperPaco69> hoo this one has it thanks!!!
[00:11] <MojoWork> give me an actual boot menu for a few seconds, and no splash screen that hides everything
[00:11] <goltoof> superbenjo:  do you know what kind you have?
[00:11] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: simple sure, but not if you don't know it
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: well now you know too :)
[00:12] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: i never set mine up that way so i never needed it
[00:12]  * MojoWork trots off to try an older kernel
[00:12] <superbenjo> well, i played another game with similiar look on windows, and it's working properly , goltoof
[00:12] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: thx again
[00:12] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: read last posted link, once done it before in ubuntu and will not do it again.
[00:12] <superbenjo> goltoof : what you mean with 'what kind ' ???
[00:13] <goltoof> superbenjo: lspci | grep -i vga   ... post the output
[00:14] <superbenjo> well, i need to reboot my notebook then, would you wait for a minute, gultoof
[00:15] <rww> waxel740: don't put <brackets> around the address.
[00:15] <Lupditerra> Who can help me with a Unity problem?
[00:16] <SuperPaco69> how can i erase a user only from one group??/
[00:16] <ko2> hello. If i write too many things in the terminal i cannot see them after a while because there is a limit of lines that are displayed in the terminal. How can i get those lines above that i cannot see?
[00:17] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: man usermod
[00:17] <smw> ko2, gnome terminal or a virtual terminal like tty1?
[00:17] <SuperPaco69> ok
[00:18] <ko2> the gnome terminal (within the GUI)
[00:19] <Snookie1> is there a way to excecute another desktop enviroment on tty1? or even enable graphics usage?
[00:19] <superbenjo> goltoof : 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

[00:21] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, is there a command that will show all users and what group they belong to??
[00:21] <daniel> hi people... can someone help me?
[00:22] <ko2> ok thanks
[00:22] <sam-_-> !ask | daniel
[00:22] <Jordan_U> Snookie1: Why specifically tty1?
[00:22] <larry2342> !help | daniel
[00:22] <larry2342> !ping
[00:22] <dwarder> !traceroute
[00:23] <smw> ko2, you can set the number of lines to infinite in the gnome terminal config
[00:23] <Snookie1> oh, i mean any tty
[00:23] <ko2> smw: ok i've done
[00:23] <smw> !who | ko2
[00:23] <Snookie1> besides tty7
[00:23] <smw> ko2, sorry it took so long to respond. I did not see you said anything
[00:24] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, is there a command that will show all users and what group they belong to is it showg??
[00:24] <ko2> smw: no problem
[00:24] <Jordan_U> Snookie1: click on the applet in the top right with the power icon and choose switch user (though that only works if you don't need to X servers running as the same user).
[00:24] <larry2342> SuperPaco69: cat /etc/groups ?
[00:24] <Jordan_U> Snookie1: If you do need another X server run as a particular user then use "startx" from a tty.
[00:24] <Snookie1> ah, ok, thanks
[00:25] <Snookie1> oh, sorry
[00:25] <helpmeat> hi mates, can you please help me to get this issue resolved (ubuntu 10.04)? http://pastebin.com/38aWTZZa
[00:25] <Snookie1> Jordan_U: ah, ok, thanks :D
[00:25] <bastidrazor> Snookie1: something to the effect of: startx --:1
[00:25] <Jordan_U> Snookie1: You're welcome.
[00:25] <SuperPaco69> larry2342, that files does not exiist on ubuntu 10.04
[00:25] <Snookie1> bastidrazor: ?
[00:26] <bastidrazor> Snookie1: to start another x session with your current user in a tty
[00:26] <Snookie1> bastidrazor: ah, ok, thanks
[00:26] <waxel740> was able to register this time, thanks
[00:26] <larry2342> SuperPaco69: oh, sry cat /etc/group v?
[00:27] <SuperPaco69> thanks larry
[00:27] <superbenjo> is there any specivic driver for intel graphic card ??? mine getting hot too fast
[00:27] <superbenjo> *specific
[00:28] <ko2> superbenjo: yes there are, but all intel graphics driver are open source as i know
[00:28] <larry2342> helpmeat: tried this ? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=373441&highlight=GPG
[00:29] <superbenjo> where i can get information about it, ko2 ??
[00:29] <SeanInSeattle> Why does making a debian pkg from a python project have to be so difficult?
[00:29] <ko2> superbenjo: www.intelllinuxgraphics.org
[00:29] <D3luSi0n4L> hey all  can someone help me with Adobe Flash Player 10
[00:29] <superbenjo> thx ko2
[00:30] <D3luSi0n4L> when i goto the software center and click "use this source" it starts but like doesnt finish?
[00:30] <superbenjo> ko2, i can't load the page
[00:30] <smw> SeanInSeattle, because the process was made a long time ago.
[00:30] <bezao> what 'ip address for lo' means?
[00:30] <ko2> superbenjo: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/
[00:30] <D3luSi0n4L> if i click in progress it shows like clearing cache or something and then just continues
[00:30] <Jordan_U> ko2: There is one exception, their poulsbo drivers are proprietary and an utter mess.
[00:30] <smw> SeanInSeattle, I like archlinux package creation :-)
[00:30] <superbenjo> ok, i get it ko2 :)
[00:31] <ko2> but i think there are only drivers you must compile from source
[00:31] <smw> SeanInSeattle, it is a little difficult, but it is certainly not as hard as an RPM
[00:31] <D3luSi0n4L> anyone?
[00:31] <ko2> superbenjo: which distro do you have?
[00:31] <superbenjo> ko2, i'll try to learn it first , i use ubuntu karmic koala
[00:31] <D3luSi0n4L> can someone help me download adobe flash player 10 please?
[00:31] <linxeh> smw: I've heard plenty of people claim that rpm is far easier than a deb, so I guess it is swings and roundabouts?
[00:32] <ko2> superbenjo: if you have Karmic Koala then you can use this link: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[00:32] <helpmeat> larry2342: that worked! actually i've just commented out the line that made troubles :-) ty b
[00:32] <ko2> superbenjo: But be aware, it is a PPA!
[00:32] <UnholyTerror> D3luSi0n4L, can't you just go to adobe and install it?
[00:32] <larry2342> !yay | helpmeat
[00:32] <maco> linxeh: rpm puts everything in one giant .spec file, and debs put everything in a bunch of little files in a directory. other than that...meh
[00:32] <superbenjo> ok, i'll taking my seat :p
[00:33] <smw> linear4_, interesting
[00:33] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, no
[00:33] <smw> linear4_, meh, I guess it is what you know. I have made RPM, DEB and Archlinux packages
[00:33] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, why not?
[00:33] <maco> linxeh: they both need the same sort of information...   what files are in the package? what does it depend on to build? how about to run? what version is it? what's it's name? how do you build it?
[00:33] <smw> linear4_, archlinux packages are so easy :-)
[00:33] <carandraug> !flash | UnholyTerror
[00:33] <superbenjo> i have another problem, my ubuntu won't reboot or shutdown,, can someone help
[00:34] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, what does that have to do with anything?
[00:34] <maco> smw: i think you're pinging the wrong person
[00:34] <sam-_-> !ask |superbenjo
[00:34] <smw> maco, yep, apparently
[00:34] <dwarder> where do i get files when i print to the pdf printer?
[00:35] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, it explains the reason why you can't downlaod it from their website
[00:35] <linxeh> maco: I appreciate how they work; I've never created either though so I'm just going on word of mouth (from someone that was a big debian fan, but has moved to centos as he reckons it makes his life easier - but that might be because of corporate nonsense demanding the use of RedHat more than anything). He definitely claims RPM is easier than .deb though :)
[00:35] <smw> linxeh, I meant to talk to you :-\
[00:35] <MagicJ> how can L prevent some of the users showing up as options on the sign on screen
[00:35] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, well, you can, it would simply be way more complicated to install
[00:35] <smallie9> hello
[00:35] <smw> dwarder, ~/PDF I think
[00:35] <smw> !hi | smallie9
[00:35] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, since when?
[00:36] <maco> linxeh: ive done both. im an ubuntu dev and have had two jobs where i made rpms. i prefer debs because i dont like navigating big files and i know the tricks to autogenerate stuff easily for debs but dont know those tricks for rpms
[00:36] <helpmeat> larry2342, ubottu: i've even made it better, i've modified /etc/apt/sources.list i've changed from http://at.archive.ubuntu.com to http://de.archive.ubuntu.com: http://pastebin.com/uE6gNHV8
[00:36] <dwarder> smw: yup, ty
[00:36] <helpmeat> i love this OS :-)
[00:36] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, whatever installation method you're thinking of, can't beat opening USC, write flash on the search box and click on the button install
[00:36] <smallie9> My pc came with different card readers so I Installed ubuntu about 3 days ago, on windows when i inserted the card it would get read instantly, but since I got ubuntu it won't recognize that it's even inserted
[00:36] <smallie9> Help pls? :s
[00:37] <maco> SeanInSeattle: for making a deb from a python project, here's an example:  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gally-dev/gally/packaging/files
[00:37] <liminal> morning all
[00:37] <smallie9> i'm using a microsd card atm

[00:37] <smw> helpmeat, ubottu*
[00:37] <liminal> I have two monitors.. monitor 1 and monitor 2
[00:38] <dwarder> smw: it is like saying that santa doesn't exist :(
[00:38] <liminal> I want monitor 1 to be monitor 2
[00:38] <smallie9> does anyone know why me memory card reader isnt working?
[00:38] <liminal> I think its an xserver config thing
[00:38] <smallie9> do i need a separate driver for it?
[00:38] <dwarder> smw: just kidding ;)
[00:38] <smw> dwarder, speaking of which. I don't think any human can deliver toys to so many houses in one night.
[00:39] <smw> dwarder, I think he is an alien :-P
[00:39] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, you can install it straight from the website...
[00:39] <helpmeat> smw: lol NO :-)))
[00:39] <trojan_spike> smallie9, search the ubuntu forum,, u more than likely will need a driver
[00:39] <maco> SeanInSeattle: you can ignore the .bzr-builddeb thing in there. thats just something i use because i have the debian/ dir in a separate branch from the source code
[00:40] <smallie9> k thnx troj
[00:40] <larry2342> smw: time is relative to Santa
[00:40] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, do you have any support question?
[00:40] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, what?
[00:40] <maco> linxeh: might want to see that link too for how debs work
[00:40] <smw> larry2342, time is relative to all. But he must be an alien to move fast enough for time to be relative.
[00:41] <liminal> ive got a support question
[00:41] <linxeh> maco: ta
[00:41] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, this is an ubuntu suppport channel. I am asking if you have a question and you need support. I'm not going to arguee with about your favorite method to install adobe
[00:41] <smw> !ask | liminal
[00:41] <liminal> how do i renumber my monitors
[00:42] <liminal> I have a multi monitor setup
[00:42] <smw> liminal, why do you want to number them?
[00:42] <liminal> they are already numbered.. 1 & 2
[00:42] <helpmeat> anyone of you having a CINERGY DVB-T usbstick running WITH remote control?
[00:42] <smw> liminal, why do you want to renumber
[00:43] <maco> liminal: you mean you want to change which is primary?
[00:43] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, I don't have a question... I was offering a suggestion.
[00:43] <smw> !anyone | helpmeat
[00:44] <liminal> yes exactly
[00:44] <liminal> 1 to be 2 and 2 to be 1
[00:45] <maco> liminal: no idea how gui things work, but with xrandr if you use like:    xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of VGA2      then because VGA2 is being used as the point of reference for the others, it's considered primary
[00:45] <tq> liminal: have you tried System->Preferences->Monitors and drag the monitors around as needed (assuming you are using gnome)
[00:45] <maco> liminal: which means   VGA1 --right-of VGA2         and        VGA2 --left-of VGA1        are not exactly the same. they end up in the same order, but the primary varies
[00:45] <bezao> when i log in my ssh, it shows 'ip address for lo : 127.0.0.1' but i'm localhost, i have a router (with dhcp) that give ips, but my ubuntu-server dont get my local ip (192.168.1.x)  any ideas?
[00:46] <maco> brontoeee: lo is the localhost loopback interface. it's always 127.0.0.1
[00:47] <carandraug> bezao, run 'ifconfig' and you should see it
[00:47] <theacolyte> I'm having a devil of a time trying to switch primary monitors between this DVI monitor and my display port monitor in 10.10. I'm using the intel integrated stuff. Any suggestions? Google just has stuff for VGA it looks like
[00:47] <maco> theacolyte: heh i was just saying this one...
[00:47] <maco> theacolyte: with xrandr if you use like:    xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of VGA2      then because VGA2 is being used as the point of reference for the others, it's considered primary
[00:47] <maco> theacolyte: just type "xrandr" to see the names it's using for the displays and substitute those in
[00:48] <theacolyte> maco: Problem is that seems to be for just VGA
[00:48] <theacolyte> oh
[00:48]  * theacolyte checks
[00:48] <maco> theacolyte: no it's not
[00:48] <bezao> carandraug ifconfig only shows 1 ip, 127.0.0.1
[00:48] <maco> bezao: ifconfig -a ?
[00:48] <theacolyte> maco: HDMI2 and DP3 for me
[00:48] <mmlj4> android users... from a linux geek's perspective... is the phone (or tablets now, I see) going to be what i want, or should I keep looking? # my ideal toy at this point would be a nokia n900
[00:48] <maco> theacolyte: on my comp it's   LVDS1 and VGA1
[00:49] <bezao> maco it shows eth2, but no ip, i cannot ping my router 192.168.1.1
[00:49] <maco> bezao: sudo dhclient eth2
[00:49] <dfhsd> Assange wrote Strobe, the first free and open source port scanner. Nowdys it's included with netdiag. Debian.
[00:49] <maco> bezao: im guessing you dont have teh computer configed to actually request a dhcp lease automatically
[00:49] <carandraug> bezao, can you pastebin it please?
[00:49] <theacolyte> maco: so right-of basically says not primary?
[00:49] <Jordan_U> !ot | dfhsd
[00:49] <bezao> maco okay, i got a local ip, but 192.168.1.1 doesnt ping back
[00:50] <maco> theacolyte: whatever comes *after* the --right-of or teh --left-of is the primary
[00:50] <theacolyte> ahhhhhhh
[00:50] <fleshpike> hello everyone, is it possible to use ubuntu using only an usb pen?
[00:50] <theacolyte> have to restart X I'm assuming?
[00:50] <maco> theacolyte: no
[00:50] <carandraug> fleshpike, yes
[00:50] <maco> theacolyte: xrandr is for on the fly configuration
[00:50] <theacolyte> got it, time to test
[00:50] <bezao> maco when i restart my ubuntu, eth2 looses ip again
[00:51] <maco> bezao: are you using /etc/network/interfaces or network manager?
[00:51] <maco> bezao: network manager, i think, doesnt try to establish a connection til you login in the GUI
[00:51] <fleshpike> carandraug : is it fine to surf internet?
[00:51] <bezao> maco /etc/network/interfaces has only 'auto lo'
[00:51] <theacolyte> maco: That's weird... it cut off half my primary monitor and didn't switch anything hehe
[00:51] <theacolyte> I'll look up xrandr though
[00:51] <maco> theacolyte: mm waht command did you do exactly?
[00:51] <bezao> maco, i'm on ubuntu-server
[00:52] <bezao> i'm logged as root
[00:52] <bezao> on terminal
[00:52] <theacolyte> maco: xrandr --output HDMI2 --right-of DP3
[00:52] <maco> bezao: ok then you need to add a stanza for eth2 to the interfaces file
[00:52] <bezao> wtf is stanza? :D
[00:52] <carandraug> fleshpike, two ways to do it. 1 - you install the iso on the USB stick so every time you boot from the pen it's as if you're ojn the LiveCD 9asking fi you want to install and everything, or 2 - you burn the iso on a CD or another pen, and then run the installation on the USB stick you want to install (choose manual during the drive configuration step of installation)
[00:52] <carandraug> fleshpike, yes, it's fine
[00:52] <maco> bezao: paragraph
[00:53] <maco> bezao: or section... or chunk of text....whatever you want to call it
[00:53] <maco> bezao: with dhcp that's likely just one line i think...      auto dhcp eth2
[00:53] <bezao> auto eth2, iface eth2 inet, this?
[00:53] <maco> bezao: man 5 interfaces explains
[00:53] <bezao> okay
[00:54] <maco> mm oh yes the word iface has to be at the start...forgot that
[00:54] <fleshpike> carandraug : i have a creative zen player. do you know if it is possible to use it as "hard drive"?
[00:54] <theacolyte> ouch, can't figure out how to put it back
[00:54] <maco> bezao: example from mnpage:   iface eth1 inet dhcp
[00:54] <maco> theacolyte: xrandr --auto
[00:54] <bezao> like this maco http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html
[00:54] <pngl> Hi, would anyone know why DVD (lavc) doesn't show up in my encoding list in Avidemux?
[00:55] <theacolyte> maco: xrandr: cannot find crtc for output LVDS1
[00:55] <fleshpike> carandraug : i have a creative zen player. do you know if it is possible to use it as "hard drive". i tryed once to install from it but with no sucess?
[00:55] <carandraug> fleshpike, I had one of these. Never tried to do it but I'm guessing yes.
[00:55] <theacolyte> oh I see how to use it
[00:55] <theacolyte> one sec
[00:56] <carandraug> fleshpike, hmm... if you tried before then I don't know. Maybe it doesn't. Like I said, I never tried it myself
[00:56] <maco> bezao: yep
[00:58] <d1g1ta1> how do you give user "steve" and group "users" full permissions to directory /dir and all subdirectories?
[00:58] <avance0242> hello earthlings
[00:59] <bp0> I'm running ubuntu without netmanager, just using the regular debian /etc/network/interfaces for config.. just one wired connection... "iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[00:59] <bezao> maco okay when i restart the server, when i login to ssh it shows lo 127.0.0.1, and eth2 192.168.1.4, BUT i can ping router 192.168.1.1 or my other computer 192.168.1.2
[00:59] <bp0> and it works fine if the network is available at start, but if it is connected later, it doesn't try dhcp
[00:59] <bp0> it has to be done manually
[00:59] <bp0> so, whats the deal with that
[00:59] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, make 'chown -R steve:users /dir' and then 'chmod -R 774 /dir'
[01:00] <maco> bp0: auto means only that itll try it when the networking service starts
[01:00] <maco> bp0: if you want something poll the interface constantly...thats what network manager does
[01:01] <bp0> well, not poll constantly, but dhcp when the the link is ready
[01:01] <bezao> maco saw what i wrote? :D
[01:01] <avance0242> But if you multiply the proxy servers with the quantam mechanical computers maybe just maybe will you discover the meaning of the universe!
[01:01] <maco> bezao: yes, and unless you made a typo i dont see the problem
[01:02] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, the last number of 774 represents the kind of access you want users that are not steve and not from the group 'users' to have to those files
[01:02] <carandraug> 4= read 2 = write 1 = execute (you can add the numbers to make different combinations of access. For example, read + write = 4 +2 = 6, read + execute = 4 + 1 = 5)
[01:02] <bezao> maco typo?
[01:02] <fleshpike> are pen drive and flash drive the same?
[01:02] <avance0242> the first number of the server client on the protocol does not coincide with the network proxy
[01:03] <maco> bezao: yes you said it gets an ip and you can ping the other things on the network
[01:03] <bezao> sorry
[01:03] <maco> bezao: did you mean to say can't?
[01:03] <bezao> i can *NOT*
[01:03] <avance0242> bump
[01:03] <theacolyte> maco: Looks like I managed to completely destroy it, how do I reset everything back? I can't use xrandr from terminal
[01:03] <smw> fleshpike, yes. as is thumb drive
[01:03] <bezao> maco sorry i didnt saw, i cant ping other is on network
[01:03] <dfhsd> NNTPCache and Surfraw, by Julian Assange too.
[01:03] <theacolyte> I can't get why this is so difficult after all these years
[01:03] <maco> bezao: is the route properly configured?    route -n
[01:04] <avance0331>  nbbkhj
[01:04] <avance0242> a thumb drive?
[01:04] <maco> theacolyte: log out or reboot and it should revert
[01:04] <theacolyte> It didn't
[01:04] <avance0331> no a pinky drive
[01:04] <theacolyte> I tried using the GUI monitor thing
[01:04] <avance0242> but if you reboot you can unboot
[01:04] <SalahGo> In few hours, will start the conference on Open Source in Tunisia, Mark Shuttleworth will ensure the keynote @ 8am GMT, Streaming will be ensured here: http://ustre.am/rrdQ
[01:04] <superbenjo> sigh, not working
[01:05] <theacolyte> maco: Here it is .config/monitors.xml
[01:05] <Fapton_Calcon> I'm not sure where to ask this question, but is there a way to disable the "delete from drive" option within Banshee?
[01:05] <MaK10> hey every1
[01:05] <smw> SalahGo, I will be sleeping then
[01:05] <Jordan_U> !ot | SalahGo
[01:06] <smw> Jordan_U, It is not that offtopic
[01:06] <shero> just installed dual boot linux-win7 need some pointers
[01:06] <SalahGo> smw, we'll leave a podcast
[01:06] <bezao> maco http://img826.imageshack.us/i/74130201.png/
[01:06] <Jordan_U> smw: It is not related to Ubuntu support.
[01:06] <SalahGo> Jordan_U, i know, but i wanted to make the more people possible know about it
[01:07] <SalahGo> Sorry for the slight off topic anyways Jordan_U :)
[01:07] <carandraug> fleshpike, they shouold be the same. But people usually don't know what they're talking about so they may use the terms wrong
[01:07] <MaK10> hey. i have a sony vaio with nvidia graphics card. i just activated and installed the driver. now all i get on boot up is a purple screen? whats happening? sorry but im heaps noob at linux
[01:07] <shero> guys i need some help with ubuntu---just dual booted it with win7
[01:07] <Fapton_Calcon> shero: What do you need help with?
[01:08] <shero> fapton_calcon: I have no idea how to use it
[01:08] <shero> fapton_calcon: I tride the gnome shell command but epic fail
[01:08] <fleshpike> i read this "Solid state drives that use Flash memory have a limited number of writes over the life of the drive" does usb pen drive have a limited number of writes to?
[01:09] <Fapton_Calcon> shero: You don't need gnome shell to use Ubuntu.
[01:09] <SalahGo> MaK10, if u have prompt command boot even after installing the driver, try this, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:09] <bezao> saw it maco ?
[01:09] <SalahGo> MaK10, then: startx
[01:09] <shero> fapton_calcon: ya i'm just giving you an example of me trying to customize
[01:09] <D3luSi0n4L> Hey all
[01:09] <sacarlson> fleshpike:  yes they do but a prity big number
[01:09] <MaK10> i have no text on screen
[01:09] <MaK10> nothing
[01:09] <maco> bezao: yeah... and of course the router is the gateway...hrmph... any chance you just have icmp being filtered on a firewall?
[01:10] <SalahGo> MaK10, try it on safemode then
[01:10] <D3luSi0n4L> anyone here good with ubuntu problem solving? I have a wide array of things id like to do but i dont wanna span the chat
[01:10] <SalahGo> MaK10, Sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:10] <SalahGo> MaK10, Startx
[01:10] <fleshpike> ok thanks everybody
[01:10] <bezao> maco no, i'm on the same network on win seven, the ubuntu server is runnin on a vbox
[01:11] <D3luSi0n4L> Anyone?
[01:11] <maco> bezao: oooh.... bridged or nat'd?
[01:11] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: just solve the most important problems first if posible,  then just fix what you can
[01:11] <bezao> maco bridge
[01:11] <maco> bezao: routing with VMs is...not fun
[01:11] <maco> bezao: check the windows firewall
[01:11] <D3luSi0n4L> sacarlson, I've tried and have yet to find any solutions
[01:12] <maco> bezao: see if its allowing things to reach the vm
[01:12] <SceUX> 是英伟达驱动导致X-Windows不能启动的？
[01:12] <SceUX> 配置文件没更新吧
[01:12] <D3luSi0n4L> I guess my first problems, rest are just things id like to tweak is my top bar, at the right side its all misaligned, theres no power button, my username is cut off and the Xchat icon is over another
[01:12] <smw> !cn | SceUX
[01:12] <KM0201> maco: routing w/ VM's isn't difficult, so long as you set Vbox to call for it's own IP from the router... then it's just like doing it w/ another computer
[01:12] <D3luSi0n4L> there all messed up? there a way to refresh them?
[01:12] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: then you just havn't tried hard enuf,  everything has a solution,  it's just software
[01:12] <MaK10> in recovery mode do u mean?
[01:12] <Fapton_Calcon> shero: http://joneslee85.wordpress.com/2010/06/06/howto-install-gnome-shell-on-ubuntu-maverick-10-10/
[01:13] <carandraug> fleshpike, nothing that you should worry about. There's some optimizations you can make to avoid it but I wouldn't worry about it. My laptop has thos solid state drives (flash) and it's OK after more than 1 year. My brother has the same, he uses it *heavily* and is been holding for almost 3 years now
[01:13] <SalahGo> MaK10, Yes
[01:13] <D3luSi0n4L> sacarlson, im sure there are fixes but im new and i honestly dont eve know what to call half of these things
[01:13] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: refresh?  = reinstall?
[01:13] <MaK10> Salahgo, il give it a go. thanks heaps
[01:13] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: well with motivation you will learn
[01:13] <SalahGo> MaK10, Good luck :)
[01:14] <D3luSi0n4L> nah it was fine the first two times i booted just this time i booted up and they were messed up
[01:14] <bezao> maco firewall is off and i can ping win to linux, or linux do win
[01:14] <D3luSi0n4L> it was actually more like 3 - 4 times
[01:15] <D3luSi0n4L> any ideas? I'd prefer not to have to go through a brand new install
[01:15] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: the secreet for me is if it's not broke don't fix it,  that mean don't upgrade unless you see benifits in doing so.  did you upgrade?
[01:15] <maco> bezao: windows's 192.168 ip address?
[01:15] <D3luSi0n4L> I did upgrade, and the bar was fine after upgrade, just this time when i booted when i got home it was messed up
[01:15] <D3luSi0n4L> i guess a reboot is worth a try?
[01:15] <bezao> maco win 192.168.1.2, linux 192.168.1.4, my modem/router 192.168.1.1
[01:16] <maco> bezao: and you can ping the .2 but not the .1? O_
[01:16] <maco> *O_o
[01:16] <bcurtiswx> hey all, my bzr get freezes where a password GUi screen would normally come up.  anyone know how to figure out why the GUI screen won't show ?
[01:16] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: yes a reboot is always a good idea before changing anything
[01:16] <danieltdt> ops
[01:16] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: for panel you need to just logout/login
[01:16] <bezao> maco from win, i can ping .1 but not .4, from linux, i cant ping .1 and .2
[01:16] <D3luSi0n4L> hmm ok ill try that
[01:16] <D3luSi0n4L> before i do my other small thing i wanted to change was
[01:17] <D3luSi0n4L> when i boot it gives me a list of partitions to boot from? is there a way to make a simpler cleaner way of doing this?
[01:17] <maco> bezao: i dont think this is related to your ubuntu config. i think its something in vbox...
[01:17] <bezao> maco but the dhclient eth2, got the ip from dhcp, HOW? ;/
[01:17] <sacarlson> shcherbak: D3luSi0n4L: that's true so by bar you mean the control bar ok ic
[01:17] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: panel --replace is first to try, any way (second same with no applets on panel)
[01:17] <maco> bezao: im confused too
[01:17] <bezao> maco hehe :(
[01:17] <bezao> i'll try uninstall vbox, and isntall again
[01:18] <bezao> thanks for the help :)
[01:18] <D3luSi0n4L> right now theres like 2 ubuntu options like  (Linux 2.xxx.xxx-5 then linux 2.xxx.xxx-6 and windows 7 and mem test, etc
[01:18] <D3luSi0n4L> is there a more eye appleasing way of choosing linux or windows 7?
[01:18] <shero> anyone have any tips on how to get used to ubuntu?
[01:18] <bezao> thanks maco
[01:19] <jfer> #ubuntu-devel
[01:19] <wrb123> hello
[01:19] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: KDE for ultra-super eye-candy
[01:19] <wrb123> i installed Ubuntu 10.10 (previously using Windows 7) and am happy enough with it that i would like to keep it and use it as my only OS.  i have some questions though...
[01:19] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: on of my final solutions if nothing else works is create a new user and try login to that.  this will crreate a new default templete for gnome envirnment.  if that works you can rename the user or copy the template files to you original user.
[01:19] <histo> shcherbak: what do you mean get used to?
[01:19] <D3luSi0n4L> ok thanks for the help sacarlson
[01:20] <shcherbak> histo: hem?
[01:20] <D3luSi0n4L> shcherbak, is there a site where i can see what it looks like and how to install it?
[01:20] <histo> shero: what do you mean get used to?
[01:20] <histo> shcherbak: sorry wrong person
[01:20] <wrb123> ...i also want to get into programming, learning PHP and Java, but i think maybe i should become familiar first with the Linux environment and Eclipse and such. does anyone have some recommendations on tutorials for perhaps compiling packages/programs in ubuntu and then some basics of using Eclipse with Java (not necessarily doing any programming but becoming familiar with the environment) - i have previous procedural/C type experience so
[01:20] <wrb123>  PHP is seeming pretty simple as i read tutorials for it
[01:21] <wrb123> i dont want to really jump into Java without knowing what im doing as far as setting up a project and such though
[01:21] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: Kubunutu google and KDE pictures, to install just type KDE in synaptic
[01:21] <D3luSi0n4L> wrb when you install eclipse it has walkthroughs for getting used to eclipse
[01:21] <d1g1ta1> users that are not steve nor from group users should have no access, except for root
[01:21] <shero> histo: well ive been using the windows OS and got used to it; its pretty easy. Ubuntu, I want to also get to know better but seems rather difficulty
[01:22] <shero> difficult*
[01:22] <carandraug> wrb123, I think the most recommended language to learn programming is python
[01:22] <shcherbak> !abs | wrb123
[01:22] <Chiquinho> Hi, here I have information about make my bluetooth adapters works?
[01:22] <d1g1ta1> carandraug: so does the 774 = no access for users <> steve or users>
[01:22] <shcherbak> wrb123: start with bash is easiest way
[01:22] <histo> shero: well what are you having problems with ?  Something that is difficult?
[01:22] <carandraug> wrb123, http://academicearth.org/courses/introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming
[01:23] <D3luSi0n4L> shcherbak, isnt kubuntu a whole new cilent? I just want something that lets me choose to boot into either Ubuntu 10.10 or Windows 7
[01:23] <shero> histo: the terminal for example, is it a dynamic command prompt?
[01:23] <Nazaryn> Laptop: 60GB Hard Disk; 16GB MMC/SD card.. is it possible to boot from SD card / use it for Ubuntu install?
[01:23] <aurilliance> I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites.
[01:23] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, 774 means (full access for the owner of the file, full access for the users on the group that owns the file, and read only access for everyone else)
[01:23] <Chiquinho> hi somebody knows about bluetooth adapter?
[01:24] <aurilliance> How would I go about fixing this?
[01:24] <histo> shero: what do you mean by dynamic?
[01:24] <ve2ety> http://www.coolpalace.ca
[01:24] <wrb123> thanks everyone, i appreciate the help and advice!
[01:24] <D3luSi0n4L> shcherbak, right now its a big square with all these options
[01:25] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, you set the user owner and group of the files with 'chown user:group' (hence I said to run 'chown -R steve:users /dir' (the -R makes it recursive to apply it to all files inside the directory
[01:25] <Chiquinho> hi someone knows bluetooth configuration
[01:25] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: you cannot boot?
[01:25] <shero> histo: it works as multiple purposes. im not sure. can you explain to me terminal?
[01:25] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, if you want users other than the owner user and owner group, use 770 (instead of 774)
[01:25] <D3luSi0n4L> no i think im saying it wrong]
[01:25] <histo> !terminal | shero
[01:26] <Nazaryn> So what do you guys think? Installing Ubuntu on an SD card a good/bad idea? Or should I just go the traditional route and use the hard disk on the laptop?
[01:26] <histo> shero: follow the above link usingtheterminal
[01:26] <D3luSi0n4L> my laptop is dualbooted with windows 7 & Linux
[01:26] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: and, is it a problem?
[01:26] <carandraug> Nazaryn, I don't think tehere should be any problem with installing on a SD card
[01:26] <histo> shero: I only use gui for web browsing so. I spend most my time in console. Though I've been using nix for 7 years.
[01:26] <Nazaryn> I'm not sure if my laptop can actually -boot from- an SD card
[01:27] <carandraug> Nazaryn, see on the BIOS if there's that option
[01:27] <D3luSi0n4L> when i power up my machine im given a dos windows to select which os to boot from but since updating ubuntu now theres 2 ubuntu options and theres like 2 memtests and 2 windows vista options and a windows 7, the 2 vista are system restore partitions put on by hp
[01:27] <histo> shero: another place that will be helpfull is osalt.com . That site will show you open source and linux alternatives to most common windows apps. Also i'll send you the link from ubottu on installing software
[01:27] <jrib> D3luSi0n4L: question?
[01:28] <histo> !software > shero
[01:28] <carandraug> Nazaryn, plug in the SD card and when turning the power on press whatever you have to access the BIOS and see if it shows up there
[01:28] <D3luSi0n4L> jrib, is there a way to hide all the options beside Ubuntu latest version and Windows 7
[01:28] <carandraug> Nazaryn, there's usually another key that lists you all the possible boot options (without going through the BIOS)
[01:29] <shero> ubottu: how do i see private messages
[01:29] <jrib> D3luSi0n4L: to remove old linux kernels, uninstall the corresponding linux-image-* packages (take care to leave your current one installed of course)
[01:29] <histo> shero: if you're using xchat they will be in a seperate tab
[01:29] <shero> histo: what are these !"..." > shero??
[01:29] <D3luSi0n4L> jrib, is there somewhere that can instruct me on how to? I'm new to linux
[01:29] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: not sure that fix lay on side of linux, but you can try reinstall brub...
[01:29] <dr__> Ah, thank God. This works.
[01:29] <ve2ety> http://www.coolpalace.ca
[01:30] <ve2ety> http://www.coolpalace.ca
[01:30] <FloodBot2> ve2ety: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:30] <jrib> D3luSi0n4L: just go into synaptic, search for linux-image, and remove all the ones with version numbers in them (except the latest installed one)
[01:30] <shcherbak> !brub2 | D3luSi0n4L
[01:30] <D3luSi0n4L> ok thanks!
[01:30] <histo> shero: that's me trigger the bot ubottu to send you messages. We use ubottu to answer common questions
[01:30] <shero> ubottu: found the message
[01:30] <D3luSi0n4L> whats brub?

[01:31] <Nazaryn> Okay guys, going the safe route, I'm going to install on main hard disk. 60 GB hard disk, how much should I allocate to swap and other?
[01:31] <shero> histo: are these all the sites I need?
[01:31] <carandraug> Nazaryn, do you want a seaparate home directory?
[01:31] <carandraug> Nazaryn, also, do you plan on using hibernate?
[01:32] <Nazaryn> Hibernate, unsure. Maybe.
[01:32] <ylmfos> HI
[01:32] <histo> shero: for now they are a good start.  I would just use the computer as normal. If you have questions just feel free to ask in here. Someone will answer.
[01:32] <D3luSi0n4L> no link?
[01:32] <smw> Nazaryn, I recommend 15GB for /; 2*ram for swap; and the rest /home
[01:32] <D3luSi0n4L> ehh its fine ill deal with it
[01:32] <Nazaryn> I wanted to have Ubuntu automatically partition the entire disk for me, except that I'm installing from USB stick, so it might accidentally throw the bootloader onto the stick
[01:32] <D3luSi0n4L> thanks for all the help
[01:32] <carandraug> Nazaryn, do you develop your own software? And do you usually compile stuff from source?
[01:32] <D3luSi0n4L> im gonna relog and see if the panel fixes itself
[01:32] <Nazaryn> No, I don't develop or compile from source.
[01:32] <smw> Nazaryn, it won't
[01:32] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[01:33] <smw> Nazaryn, auto should work fine
[01:33] <Nazaryn> Okay, I'll go back and throw auto on then
[01:33] <smw> Nazaryn, it just does not separate the /home which I don't like
[01:33] <KM0201> Nazaryn: installing from USB shouldn't effect where grub is installed... whne you go to the drive partition stage, if you choose "advanced" you'll see the target drive for grub.
[01:33] <kevin__> what's the difference between the ubuntu dvd iso and the regular live cd iso?
[01:33] <sacarlson> Nazaryn: swap they say should be as big as the ram you have on the system,  the rest for root unless you want to split off /home but you can always do that at some other time
[01:33] <shero> hiso: thanks
[01:33] <KM0201> kevin__: dvd has more stuff on it most likely...
[01:33] <Nazaryn> Yeah, I was doing it through advanced, and I chose the hard disk for bootloader; but then I need to make the rest of the partitions myself
[01:33] <histo> kevin__: language packs I believe?
[01:33] <smw> kevin__, the dvd has more stuff
[01:34] <smw> kevin__, ah right. It has all the language packs also

[01:34] <KM0201> Nazaryn: well, my point is, by default, the target drive for GRUB, is the internal drive. thats what you want, right?
[01:34] <Nazaryn> Also: I can toss the SWAP partition onto the SD card, can't I?
[01:34] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: you "left" some vista on win7 partition, hence make sure to not let grub see it. Pretty much manual work.
[01:34] <Snookie1> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libusbmux0_1.0.0-rc1-1ubuntu3~k_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/lib/udev/rules.d/85-usbmuxd.rules', which is also in package usbmuxd 0
[01:34] <aurilliance> I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites. Anyone know how to fix this?
[01:34] <Nazaryn> Yes, I want grub to load the hard disk and not the USB (install media)
[01:35] <D3luSi0n4L> shcherbak, im a complete noob so im gonna deal with it and not mess anything up
[01:35] <KM0201> Nazaryn: that would defeat the purpose.. it's not like your swap partition needs to be very big... 1.5-2.5gigs tops
[01:35] <d1g1ta1> carandraug, what would it be for full access for owner & group & root & no access for everyone else?
[01:35] <smw> Jordan_U, so you agree with me?
[01:35] <Nazaryn> Alright, swap in front of ext4 partition, or after?
[01:35] <KM0201> Nazaryn: if you use the "guided install".. it's gonna do all this for you.. or are you wanting to do some sort of advanced partitioning?
[01:35] <D3luSi0n4L> brb
[01:35] <smw> Nazaryn, I like to put it in the middle of / and /home
[01:35] <Jordan_U> smw: If you think that in most cases it's better *not* to use a separate /home, yes.
[01:35] <Nazaryn> I want to go through the guided install, I'm just worried about grub going to the proper place
[01:36] <sacarlson> Nazaryn: I'm not sure how active swap is and sd cards I guess you mean usb flash drive have limited write cycles and I would think are a bit slower to like 1/10 the speed of standard sata or ide
[01:36] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: make sure to make backup of every file you edit --> stuff.conf to stuff.conf_ ...
[01:36] <smw> Jordan_U, than I don't agree with you. Did you read the link you gave me?
[01:36] <shcherbak> too late
[01:36] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, root always has fuull access, no matter what permissions you give to the file so it's still 770
[01:36] <KM0201> sacarlson: most newer pc's, probably will never access swap, unless your'e doing some serious number crunching.
[01:37] <shcherbak> KM0201: or hibernate
[01:37] <Jordan_U> smw: Ahh, I got that link from googling and expected it to be the post quoted rather than that post.
[01:37] <sacarlson> KM0201: my swap here with 2gb ram shows  15144k in use
[01:37] <smw> Jordan_U, I agree with the post, not the quote ;-)
[01:37] <KM0201> shcherbak: my pc hibernates just fine.. as does my laptop
[01:37] <KM0201> sacarlson: mine shows 0
[01:37] <smw> Jordan_U, having a separate /home helps me keep my data when I upgrade (by reinstalling)
[01:37] <ylmfos> nimenhao
[01:38] <smw> Jordan_U, I was also able to keep data after switching from archlinux back to ubuntu
[01:38] <shcherbak> KM0201: well, never did it with no swap so cannot tell.
[01:38] <Jordan_U> smw: If you read the quoted post, http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1093664654/no-need-to-complicate-your-life , you'll see that you don't need a separate /home to keep your /home during a re-install.
[01:38] <sacarlson> KM0201: my desktop has only 2 apps running,  but this system hasn't reboot in over a week
[01:38] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> I can no longer access my network printer ... I've googled until my eye's are crossed ... I give up, I need some human help
[01:38] <carandraug> KM0201, the sawp is used for hibernation. It copies everything that's on RAM to swap
[01:38] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> My PasteBin is @ http://pastebin.com/dHKDRA2d
[01:38] <smw> Jordan_U, I would argue with anyone who wanted a separate /usr or /var ;-).
[01:39] <sacarlson> KM0201: after boot mine shows zero also
[01:39] <KM0201> sacarlson: well, my PC has been on for a while.. so.
[01:39] <smw> Jordan_U, I am reading it now
[01:39] <geekbri> smw: having a seperate var is pretty useful if your logs overflow :)
[01:40] <xhs>   shei shi nan jing de
[01:40] <smw> geekbri, which may happen... on a server
[01:40] <shcherbak> geekbri: or if system decided to remount in read only...
[01:40] <smw> geekbri, I have explained to server admins that partitioning like a server is pretty useless
[01:41] <geekbri> im not lookin for a fight!
[01:41] <geekbri> ;)
[01:42] <psykatog> 10.04 - i think the external wireless switch (on another computer) is broken in the off position. is there a way to change this through terminal?
[01:42] <melvster> anyone know if there is a webdav editor in ubuntu (I want to edit a public webdav file)
[01:43] <plightbo_> I'm on Maverick and "apt-get install gnome" is failing with some error about a missing dep (swfmozilla)
[01:43] <melvster> ive tried open office and fusedav, cant get either working, amaya keeps crashing
[01:43] <shcherbak> smw: Alway /var /usr, and recently added /tmp to collection. With too much space for users it does not harm me and is often handy
[01:43] <plightbo_> "apt-get install gnome-desktop" looks like it'll work, but it's downloading too much (Evolution, etc)
[01:43] <smw> Jordan_U, great post... it still won't change my mind. (and yes, I "upgrade" with full installs. But I don't recommend that to others ;-)
[01:43] <plightbo_> what's the package that is just basic Gnome desktop?
[01:44] <Jordan_U> smw: Fair enough :)
[01:44] <tim_> any one have experience with windows problems or knows where i can chat with some one who knows?
[01:44] <D3luSi0n4L> ok the top panel fixed itself
[01:44] <Pici> tim_: ##windows
[01:44] <D3luSi0n4L> now my last question is
[01:44] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, you might want to try gnome-desktop-environment but i think that will bring evolution, etc. as well
[01:44] <aperson> hi, whenever I go to anything via the places menu, it opens it with vlc
[01:44] <D3luSi0n4L> i downloaded the Java SDK, and its a .bin how do i install it?
[01:44] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: would gnome-shell just pull in the basics?
[01:44] <plightbo_> D3luSi0n4L: sh foo.bin
[01:45] <D3luSi0n4L> ??
[01:45] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, gnome-shell is different - it's the upcoming interface for gnome3
[01:45] <plightbo_> D3luSi0n4L: the bin is an executable
[01:45] <D3luSi0n4L> plightbo_, excuse me im a complete noob
[01:45] <itaylor57> !java
[01:45] <plightbo_> D3luSi0n4L: so execute it :)
[01:45] <iszak> Anyone familiar with FXP on ubuntu?
[01:45] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: doh
[01:45] <Pici> D3luSi0n4L: The Java SDK is in the repositories.  In the sun-java6-jdk package
[01:45] <D3luSi0n4L> oh ok when i open it it says "This application needs to be opened with
[01:45] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: I just installed it - thought it was an xterm like thing :)
[01:45] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, you should probably install the package from the ubuntu repo
[01:46] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: hopefully it still pulled down just the basics -- seemed about 20% the size of the gnome-desktop packageset
[01:46] <D3luSi0n4L> oh ok how do i go about using that? can i get it in the software center?
[01:46] <D3luSi0n4L> or do i need to go through the repositories?
[01:46] <frostyfrog> Hello, does anyone know if it's possible to remove unity?
[01:46] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, there's very little to gnome-shell right now ;)  so it didn't add much
[01:46] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, the software center is the repos
[01:46] <shcherbak> frostyfrog: yes alongside with ubuntu-desktop
[01:47] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, I can give you a command to install the jdk, or you can go through the software center and do it yourself.
[01:47] <aurilliance> I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites. Anyone know how to fix this?
[01:47] <frostyfrog> :( I was hoping I could remove just that and get the old gnome desktop back.
[01:47] <D3luSi0n4L> can i have the command please?
[01:47] <D3luSi0n4L> i cant find it in the software center
[01:47] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, doing it yourself means you won't need to ask next time ;-)
[01:47] <petarbt> any program for simulation electrion circuit ?
[01:47] <D3luSi0n4L> ok
[01:47] <D3luSi0n4L> lets do it that way =P
[01:47] <psykatog> 10.04 - i think the external wireless switch (on another computer) is broken in the off position. is there a way to change this through terminal?
[01:48] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk is the command, use that if you can't find it
[01:48] <shcherbak> frostyfrog: check for Ubuntu independent gnome, it could be replacement
[01:48] <D3luSi0n4L> ok how do i go about doing it myself?
[01:48] <petarbt> any program for simulation electrion circuit ?
[01:48] <frostyfrog> kk
[01:48] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, I will try it myself
[01:48] <ZykoticK9> D3luSi0n4L, you need to add the partner repository before you can install sun-java-*
[01:48] <D3luSi0n4L> ok
[01:48] <D3luSi0n4L> ??
[01:48] <KM0201> D3luSi0n4L: what do you mean doing it yourself?... you need to adda nother repository for java
[01:48] <[thor]> petarbt: do a search in the software center for "circuit"
[01:48] <Guest31491> hello im a noob with a game instaling problem any help whould be appricated
[01:49] <smw> ZykoticK9, cool
[01:49] <itaylor57> D3luSi0n4L: also sudo apt-get install sun-jre
[01:49] <shcherbak> psykatog: it is phisical connectin, bash do not do it yet
[01:49] <D3luSi0n4L> ok what are the repos?
[01:49] <shcherbak> psykatog: lspci
[01:49] <aperson> !repositories
[01:49] <ZykoticK9> !partner | D3luSi0n4L
[01:49] <itaylor57> D3luSi0n4L: also sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[01:49] <KM0201> D3luSi0n4L: thats the repositories, where ubuntu downloads/installs packages from.
[01:50] <psykatog> shcherbak: I ran lspci in bash...
[01:50] <KM0201> itaylor57: that won't work on a new install, he has to enable the partner repository
[01:50] <dnivra> petarbt, hope this helps http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-322499.html.
[01:50] <petarbt> i use ktech lab but they don't have a releay

[01:52] <Guest31491> is there a better gaming os then ubuntu 10 ?
[01:52] <[thor]> Guest31491: right-click the program and select Properties, then go to the Permissions tab, and select "Allow executing file as program"
[01:52] <Skaperen> anyone know which package has a full implementation of the tar command?
[01:52] <ZykoticK9> Guest31491, better gaming os = windows
[01:52] <shcherbak> psykatog: look for WiFI or 802 or Network controller
[01:52] <Guest31491> lol i hate windows
[01:53] <Guest31491> i want to work on linux
[01:53] <[thor]> ZykoticK9: yeah, if the game is "virus scan"
[01:53] <Guest31491> is it possable for a bigener
[01:53] <ZykoticK9> Guest31491, then all linux distros should be very close to equal

[01:53] <dnivra> !info tar | Skaperen

[01:54] <Guest31491> so whats this secure bit crap and how do i turn it off
[01:54] <psykatog> shcherbak: it says that lo, eth0, & irda0 have 'no wireless extensions', and under eth1 there's a 'radio off'
[01:55] <histo> Guest31491: you could always download the install cd and try it out. You can live boot the cd and not install anything to your drive. If you like it then you can run the installer on the desktop
[01:55] <histo> Guest31491: what secure bit?

[01:55] <psykatog> shcherbak: it just says 'unavailable',  tried adding new-> scan but nothing shows up
[01:56] <Guest31491> the permissions of airborne could not be determened
[01:56] <histo> Guest31491: what are you trying to do?
[01:56] <Guest31491> install medal of honor airborne'

[01:56] <Skaperen> dnivra: the gnu version is not a full version ... I'm looking around for a full version
[01:56] <Guest31491> yes
[01:56] <Guest31491> in ubuntu
[01:57] <KM0201> ..
[01:57] <histo> Guest31491: you need wine to run windows games in linux.  Install the package playonlinux it will be a big help
[01:57] <D3luSi0n4L> hey in the command line
[01:57] <psykatog> shcherbak:  ERROR while getting interface flags : no such device
[01:57] <[thor]> Guest31491: you probably need wine (www.winehq.com) for that
[01:57] <KM0201> Guest31491: are you trying to put it in wine?...
[01:57] <histo> Guest31491: sudo apt-get install playonlinux
[01:57] <Guest31491> i got play on linux installed already
[01:57] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: In what way is GNU tar not "full"?
[01:57] <D3luSi0n4L> it opened up a blue window and says "Configuring sun-java-jdk6
[01:57] <KM0201> D3luSi0n4L: right
[01:57] <D3luSi0n4L> and theres a list of stuff and when i scroll down, how do i press ok?
[01:57] <Guest31491> and wine
[01:57] <histo> Guest31491: then you have it under applications > games > playonlinux
[01:57] <KM0201> D3luSi0n4L: i believe the right arrow key will do it
[01:57] <KM0201> mayb etab
[01:57] <shcherbak> psykatog: hardware then
[01:57] <KM0201> *tab
[01:58] <histo> Guest31491: and walk throught hat to install
[01:58] <D3luSi0n4L> got it , thanks!
[01:58] <Guest31491> if i go thru wine it says no dvd/cd drive found
[01:58] <[thor]> Guest31491: there should be a wizard in POL that will install MOH games
[01:58] <psykatog> shcherbak:  ?
[01:58] <Guest31491> there isint just modren warfare
[01:58] <histo> Guest31491: well using playonlinux is through wine. Most people find that easier.  If you wnat to do it just through wine you have to look at the appdb.winehq.org to get directions.
[01:59] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: the GNU version does not support sockets (it did in version 1.13 and earlier, but they removed that feature)
[01:59] <manhunter> there is an option to install inside windows from ubuntu cd , if i select install inside windows ,then how can i use ubuntu from windows or how can i run ubuntu from windows?
[01:59] <psykatog> shcherbak:  I'm pretty sure it IS a hardware problem.  I think the radio switch is set to 'off' and broken there.  I'm wondering if I can't reset that or ignore it via terminal commands
[01:59] <D3luSi0n4L> hmm
[01:59] <Guest31491> ive tryed the play on lunix it installed just fine but when i click run nothing happens
[01:59] <D3luSi0n4L> when i typed sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner
[01:59] <D3luSi0n4L> it did nothing but go to the next line and clear the dir i was in now its just
[01:59] <D3luSi0n4L> >
[02:00] <dnivra> manhunter, i guess you are referring to wubi. it works as if there is a separate partition-you won't need to boot windows to run ubuntu.
[02:00] <ZykoticK9> manhunter, the "install inside windows" is actually called Wubi, it's good to "test" if you like Ubuntu or not - but it's not as good as a "real" install!
[02:00] <psykatog> shcherbak: I also tried sudo lshw -C network...
[02:01] <shcherbak> psykatog: google type of laptop and wifi swich, if there is noted software solution it would be adaptable
[02:01] <psykatog> shcherbak:  the line "*-network 1 : disabled
[02:01] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: You can try bsdtar.
[02:01] <dnivra> manhunter, read a bit about wubi here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu_installer) then you'll understand.
[02:01] <ZykoticK9> D3luSi0n4L, your command isn't complete - CTRL+C to exit the >
[02:01] <Guest31491> so anybody ?
[02:02] <shcherbak> psykatog: is it edge swith or button?
[02:02] <D3luSi0n4L> ok ty
[02:02] <psykatog> edge switch
[02:02] <D3luSi0n4L> do you know the complete command? i copied it from someone
[02:02] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: thanks ... I'll check into that one
[02:02] <histo> Guest31491: you either have to check appdb.winehq.org or ask the peeps in teh winehq channel
[02:02] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: any experience by chance with vnc and gnome-settings-daemon? gsd keeps crashing on us when we start up vnc
[02:02] <histo> Guest31491: /j #winehq
[02:02] <psykatog> shcherbak:  an edge switch
[02:02] <Guest31491> The file '/media/Airborne/AutoRun.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[02:02] <ZykoticK9> D3luSi0n4L, sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
[02:02] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: You're welcome.
[02:02] <D3luSi0n4L> ahhh ty
[02:02] <histo> Guest31491: there is also #playonlinux
[02:03] <shcherbak> psykatog: do you have guarantee (means can you open laptop without voiding something)?
[02:03] <Guest31491> oh ok i try that
[02:03] <manhunter> dnivra, ZykoticK9 yes, it's wubi , i want to use/run ubuntu from windows
[02:03] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, sorry no experience at all with that.  best of luck.
[02:03] <ZykoticK9> manhunter, personally i view that as a bad idea - but best of luck.
[02:03] <D3luSi0n4L> hmm
[02:03] <maco> shcherbak: generally thats the thing that gets voided when you open it :P
[02:03] <manhunter> dnivra, ZykoticK9 can i use/run ubuntu from windows using the option "Install inside windows" ?
[02:04] <manhunter> ZykoticK9, why bad idea ?
[02:04] <D3luSi0n4L> sudo apt-get sun-jre or w.e says unable to locate package sun-jre
[02:04] <dnivra> manhunter, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu_installer)" read a bit about wubi.
[02:04] <KM0201> manhunter: there's some risks in running ubuntu w/ wubi..
[02:04] <dfhsd2> manhunetr: you can use qemu and any linux
[02:04] <ZykoticK9> manhunter, making ubuntu dependant on windows make no sense to me.
[02:04] <maco> shcherbak: unless it covers accidental damage or specifically allows playing inside (like zareason's open hardware warranty)
[02:04] <psykatog> shcherbak:  no warranty, got it through craigslist
[02:05] <psykatog> it's a toshiba satellite, 3-5 yrs old
[02:05] <ZykoticK9> manhunter, you might just and to consider installing Ubuntu into a VM on windows (or the other way around)
[02:05] <manhunter> KM0201, what risk
[02:06] <KM0201> manhunter: just do some googling, i don't like to say one way or the other, because i'm biased against wubi(personal experience).. but just thoroughly research it.
[02:06] <shcherbak> psykatog: make sure to know opening procedure, motherboard type, (many nice videos on subject out there)
[02:06] <dnivra> manhunter, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu_installer)" says what's are the risks and more things about wubi.
[02:06] <ZykoticK9> manhunter, if you get a Wubi issue - it seems few of the experienced users in this channel can help - 'cause they don't use Wubi...
[02:06] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: so I'm getting an error "Unable to initialize Clutter" when starting gnome-session
[02:07] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: know anything about that? my research says it's related to gnome-shell :(
[02:07] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: nope, bsdtar can't do sockets, either
[02:07] <psykatog> shcherbak:  so what I'm hearing is there's nothing hat can be done purely through terminal?
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, Clutter is the current "engine" used for gnome-shell, i believe you need to have 3d acceleration for gnome-shell, what graphics card are you using - OR do you have 3d support?
[02:08] <D3luSi0n4L> hey
[02:08] <shcherbak> psykatog: i do not think so, if there is nothing under your type of laptop in google
[02:08] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: i'm on Amazon EC2
[02:08] <D3luSi0n4L> one last thing before i quit annoying everyone one lol
[02:08] <shcherbak> psykatog: one moment
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, dousbt you'll get gnome-shell working then!
[02:08] <smw> psykatog, what do you mean there is nothing that can be done through the terminal?
[02:08] <raven> Hey there whats up?
[02:09] <psykatog> smw: simply that there's nothing I can't do to activate the wifi radio through the terminal instead of opening it up
[02:09] <smw> psykatog, did you try rfkill?
[02:10] <psykatog> smw: no
[02:10] <Exbte> why does ubuntu publish its users email adresses?
[02:10] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: uninstallying gnome-shell and installing metacity worked
[02:10] <jrib> Exbte: hmm?
[02:10] <KM0201> Exbte: where'd you get that idea?
[02:10] <smw> psykatog, if rfkill can't do it, nothing can
[02:10] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: I think the problem is they all switched to using libarchive and libarchive itself is the problem
[02:10] <smw> psykatog, (nothing in software)
[02:11] <Exbte> I filed a bug report about a year back and now my email is publicly available in lists.ubuntu.com/archives
[02:11] <psykatog> smw: whats the rfkill identifier?
[02:11] <smw> psykatog, rfkill list
[02:11] <jrib> Exbte: yes, lists.ubuntu.com are archived
[02:11] <KM0201> Exbte: thats why you create a hotmail account... :)
[02:11] <D3luSi0n4L> so i downloaded a thing for my browser to show Java EE
[02:11] <smw> psykatog, it is the number from rfkill list.
[02:11] <D3luSi0n4L> its call  "java_ee_sdk-6u1-jdk-linux-x64.sh"
[02:11] <D3luSi0n4L> how do i open it?
[02:11] <Exbte> Then why do they publish both username AND email into a archive?
[02:12] <jrib> Exbte: they're public mailing lists
[02:12] <Exbte> Can I get my email removed somehow?
[02:12] <smw> Exbte, lists are forever
[02:12] <Exbte> Because I don't like spam
[02:12] <Exbte> I'm suprised that anyone that uses ubuntu likes spam
[02:13] <D3luSi0n4L> anyone know how to open that?
[02:13] <jrib> Exbte: you can ask I guess but at this point it's probably mirrored in several places...
[02:13]  * jrib does not get spam
[02:13] <KM0201> Exbte: you really should have thought about that before you posted the bug report... all info there is publicly available, and i think it even says so when you post the bug.
[02:13] <psykatog> smw: rfkill list oesn't return anything
[02:13] <D3luSi0n4L> jrib, do you know how to open a .sh?
[02:13] <jrib> D3luSi0n4L: open it why?
[02:13] <KM0201> lol
[02:13] <smw> psykatog, 2 possibilities. 1. hardware block 2. no drivers
[02:14] <D3luSi0n4L> i dunno i got it so i can view a site that requires JAVA EE support?
[02:14] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: I guess I'll have to use cpio for now, but cpio is such a pain
[02:14] <KM0201> D3luSi0n4L: most the time     sh /path/to/file
[02:14] <smw> Exbte, never use your main email address for mailing lists
[02:14] <D3luSi0n4L> java_ee_sdk-6u1-jdk-linux-x64.sh
[02:14] <jrib> !java | D3luSi0n4L
[02:14] <Exbte> I didn't realise launchpad was a mailing list
[02:14] <Liath> Lawlz
[02:14] <smw> Exbte, mailing lists are public, anyone can harvest it...
[02:14] <Liath> DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 0
[02:14] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information.
[02:14] <jrib> oh so hilarious...
[02:14] <psykatog> I just did a fresh install and haven't accessed a network on this pc yet, is it likely that I don't have any current drivers?
[02:14] <D3luSi0n4L> hmm ok thanks
[02:15] <psykatog> smw: I just did a fresh install and haven't accessed a network on this pc yet, is it likely that I don't have any current drivers?
[02:15] <Exbte> Yes and now my email is being harvested because Ubuntu doesnt advertise that Launchpad will publish your email adress to bots
[02:15] <manhunter> i installed virtualbox on windows ,now how can i attache ubuntu to it?
[02:15] <smw> psykatog, is this wifi? If it is, the answer is yes
[02:15] <bubbalooo> manhunter, which virtual
[02:15] <shcherbak> psykatog: another thing, check keyboard shortcuts
[02:16] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: what are some other common window managers used with Gnome? I kind of hate metacity's look
[02:16] <slashingt> anybody knows if it is possible to semantic check any text (not just orthographic control)
[02:16] <psykatog> smw: should I try to access a wired connection and update before anything else?
[02:16] <smw> psykatog, yes
[02:16] <Exbte> Is there anyone higher up I can contact about Ubuntu being scamsters?
[02:17] <manhunter> bubbalooo, virtualbox
[02:17] <bubbalooo> manhunter, which virtual setup
[02:17] <KM0201> Exbte: that's ridiculous.
[02:17] <Spirox> s
[02:17] <Spirox> s
[02:17] <Spirox> s
[02:17] <smw> psykatog, update the pkg list and then use System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers
[02:17] <FloodBot4> Spirox: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:17] <FloodBot1> Spirox: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:17] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, with Gnome?  metacity is kinda the standard, with compiz a close second (also won't work without 3d support though).  You might want to check out alternatives like xfce or lxde.
[02:17] <jrib> Exbte: that just makes you sound trollish.  Anyway, file a bug against launchpad if you feel it's not clear enough when you set a contact e-mail that others will be able to see it and see what happens
[02:17] <psykatog> smw: alright, thanks.  I'll try to figure out where I can do that...
[02:18] <ssfdre38> where can i find xml2-config file
[02:18] <bubbalooo> manhunter, just build a virtual and the use the settings to add a ISO to be read at boot up
[02:18] <Exbte> Sign in to Launchpad
[02:18] <Exbte> If you proceed, the following information will be available to Launchpad:
[02:18] <Exbte> uh
[02:18] <Exbte> isnt that what I'm trying to prevent
[02:18] <psykatog> smw : actually, I know exactly where I can do that.  http://wiki.metrixcreatespace.com/  it's like 10 blocks away, I'm spoiled
[02:18] <psykatog> (on the landlord's wifi here)
[02:19] <KM0201> Exbte: thats my point, you obviously didnt read it when you signed up, so... you should have not used that info to begin with
[02:19] <KM0201> its not their fault, its yours
[02:19] <Exbte> KM0201: It said nothing of the sort when I signed up
[02:19] <jrib> Exbte: that's just openid telling you that
[02:19] <manhunter> bubbalooo, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox
[02:19] <smw> psykatog, I am spoiled, I have fast internet :-P
[02:19] <kevon> Can someone help me out with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/543868/
[02:19] <KM0201> Exbte: well.... did it not dawn on you, when reading other bug reports, that everybodys info was visible?
[02:19] <Exbte> No?
[02:19] <kevon> for some odd reason its tell me there are more users then what i see logged on.
[02:20] <Exbte> Because their email isn't visible in launchpad
[02:20] <Exbte> It's only when it gets archived into a mailing list
[02:20] <Exbte> that it becomes visible
[02:20] <hanasaki> what program can be run to max out the cpu's and leave them running>?
[02:20] <smw> hanasaki, why would you do that?
[02:20] <jrib> Exbte: it is visible in launchpad if you set an e-mail.  I don't know if there's privacy options for the e-mails or not
[02:20] <bubbalooo> manhunter, yeah that is a graet link it shows you the settings and adding the ISO, ask any questions though I'm quite familiar with Vbox
[02:21] <hanasaki> smw:  test the temp under load and 2 to max out a vm of ubuntu.. seems to hang under high load
[02:21] <hanasaki> smw:  so?
[02:21] <jrib> Exbte: ah I have the "Hide my email addresses from other Launchpad users" in my user preferences.  Do you have that checked?
[02:21] <Exbte> yes
[02:21] <smw> hanasaki, gzip /dev/random to /dev/null?
[02:22] <Exbte> and I cant see others email adresses
[02:22] <bubbalooo> manhunter, try linuxmint 10 as well seems to run better in a virtual better the Ubuntu
[02:22] <Exbte> that's what led me to believe my email wouldnt be published
[02:22] <smw> hanasaki, that will work if there is only one core
[02:22] <jrib> Exbte: you can't see my e-mail: https://launchpad.net/~jrib ?
[02:22] <hanasaki> smw:  that will run forever?
[02:22] <hanasaki> smw:  2 cores
[02:22] <dkmc360> Hey all
[02:22] <Exbte> I can see your email adress jrib
[02:22] <Exbte> but I cant see
[02:22] <Exbte> https://launchpad.net/~anthonyhunt55
[02:22] <smw> hanasaki, yep, it will run forever, run 3 of them. That will max out 2 cores ;-)
[02:22] <dkmc360> Any android users aroung
[02:22] <manhunter> i selected ubuntu.iso from hard disk but got error
[02:23] <dkmc360> Around
[02:23] <jrib> Exbte: you should file a bug.  I think if you have that checked and your e-mail is getting displayed it's an issue
[02:23] <manhunter> failed to open cd/dvd image
[02:23] <cabbie_> im on ubuntu10.10. i want to be able to run commands outside of /usr/bin. how can i do that?
[02:23] <ZykoticK9> jrib, ya, i see your email too
[02:23] <KM0201> hmm.
[02:23] <jrib> Exbte: #launchpad is probably a better place to move this discussion
[02:24] <hanasaki> how bout a cpu benchmark?
[02:24] <KM0201> Exbte: it tells me to "log in to view your email info".. are you sure you didn't choose to hvae it visible?
[02:24] <slashingt> is it possible to semantic check any text (not just orthographic control) on ubuntu?
[02:24] <bubbalooo> manhunter, have you checked the ISO MD5sum https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[02:24] <hanasaki> smw:  "not a regularfile" lol
[02:24] <Exbte> sign in and it says No public address provided.
[02:24] <smw> hanasaki, yes | gzip > /dev/null
[02:24] <smw> hanasaki, that filled up one of my cores pretty good, not sure if you even need the gzip
[02:25] <ZykoticK9> Exbte, jrib is correct - this isn't an Ubuntu issue, it's a Launchpad issue.  #launchpad
[02:25] <smw> hanasaki, nm, just yes > /dev/null
[02:25] <smw> hanasaki, make a few to fill both cores
[02:26] <jrib> smw, hanasaki: note that there is a program called "cpuburn" in theh repositories
[02:26] <smw> jrib, how is it better than yes? lol
[02:26] <smw> jrib, I don't see it
[02:26] <BBrooks> having issues resolving dns, I have static ip in /etc/network/interfaces, and my dns servesr in /etc/resolv.conf
[02:26] <jrib> !info cpuburn
[02:26] <manhunter> bubbalooo, it's official ubuntu 10.10, i created iso using magic iso software
[02:26] <hanasaki> thanks
[02:27] <hanasaki> anyone using vbox 3.2.12?
[02:27] <bluebird> morning, guys
[02:27] <BBrooks> nm just started working..wth
[02:27] <jrib> smw: I don't know how or even if it is better
[02:27] <bubbalooo> manhunter, is this a custom ISO then?
[02:27] <manhunter> bubbalooo, no, i use magic iso software to create iso from cd
[02:28] <kevon> ;/
[02:28] <smw> jrib, it ha alot of warnings on it. lol
[02:29] <bubbalooo> manhunter, If you can just download the ISO the magic iso should work but you never know
[02:29] <hanasaki> is there anything for desktop sharing with multiple people that owrks over a firewall (https) and client/server on windows and linux and mac?
[02:29] <hanasaki> and FREE
[02:30] <BBrooks> dang, now it's not resolving dns any longer
[02:31] <Skaperen> stupid cpio can't handle large files
[02:31] <BBrooks> anyone know if there are issues with repositories today
[02:32] <KM0201> BBrooks: none here..w hat repo are you having an issue w/?
[02:32] <BBrooks> KM0201, not sure, i am pointed to us.archive.ubuntu.com
[02:32] <Goddard> is there a good timesheet tracker?
[02:33] <BBrooks> KM0201, not sure but my dns keeps bouncing on my ubuntu server box
[02:33] <KM0201> hmm
[02:34] <Skaperen> I guess I have to make my own archiving format ... cpio, tar, and zip all have limitations
[02:34] <BBrooks> how can I clean apt-get update?
[02:35] <tim__> I'm running a dual boot setup, with XP on one partition(10GB), ubuntu on the other partition (110GB). Is there a good program to create an image of the XP partition so I can restore it if necessary?
[02:36] <ZykoticK9> tim__, check out the clonezilla livecd
[02:36]  * KM0201 <3's clonezilla
[02:37] <BBrooks> does clonezilla work as good as ghost?
[02:37] <bitplane> Anyone running 11.04 and compiz? fancy testing something before I file a bug report?
[02:37] <BBrooks> i have a client interested in it
[02:37] <ZykoticK9> BBrooks, better, it's free ;)
[02:37] <KM0201> BBrooks: i've never used Ghost.. so i can only tell you, i've been quite happy w/ Clonezilla
[02:37] <BBrooks> nice
[02:37] <KM0201> and it only costs about .15 for a blank CD R
[02:37] <bitplane> erm 10.04
[02:37] <Ramino> hi
[02:38] <BBrooks> is it hard to configure?
[02:38] <KM0201> i'm not sure what the going rate on Ghost is.. but i bet it's more than that
[02:38] <bitplane> oh no, it is 11.04
[02:38] <Fezzler> No sound
[02:38] <Jeruvy> I had a bad experience with ghost 15 recently and went to acronis total image.
[02:38] <ZykoticK9> bitplane, #ubuntu+1
[02:38] <KM0201> BBrooks: not really, i found it really easy... there's smoe "quick walkthroughs" on the clonezilla website.
[02:38] <bitplane> thanks
[02:38] <BBrooks> nice thanks guys
[02:39] <rusivi> KM0201: One advantage of Ghost/Acronis over FOSS (aside from corporate support) is the HAL independent cloning.
[02:39] <RegressLess> My sound stopped working in ubuntu 9.04. Any ideas?
[02:39] <KM0201> rusivi: guess i've never ran intot hat issue.
[02:39] <Fezzler> Well, no sound, Lucid, on board VIA sound chips
[02:39] <yop129> when i double click on a samba share and it gets mounted, where does it get mounted to exactly, could not find it anywhere i looked
[02:39] <rusivi> KM0201 -> http://www.uiu4you.com
[02:39] <ZykoticK9> !9.04 | RegressLess
[02:39] <KM0201> RegressLess: i'm assuming youd on't want to hear "upgrade to a supported version of Ubuntu"...
[02:40] <ZykoticK9> KM0201, too late ;)
[02:40] <nicolaus> hey
[02:40] <nicolaus> guys
[02:40] <KM0201> ZykoticK9: lol, only cuz i didn't call ubottu for help..lol
[02:40] <nicolaus> i want to install something using terminal but its alot of programs how do i install alot of programs one time in terminal
[02:41] <Goddard> i need a timesheet tracker
[02:41] <ZykoticK9> nicolaus, "sudo apt-get install program1 program2 etc"
[02:41] <nicolaus> thanks
[02:41] <nicolaus> i tried that
[02:41] <nicolaus> i did
[02:41] <nicolaus> sudo apt-get install skype
[02:42] <RegressLess> Sorry, sound stopped working in Ubuntu 10.04. Any ideas?
[02:42] <nicolaus> it said skype not found
[02:42] <histo> nicolaus: what's the problem?
[02:42] <ZykoticK9> !partner | nicolaus
[02:42] <histo> nicolaus: oh well you need the partner repo
[02:42] <KM0201> nico1038: you can download the skype.deb from skype.com and just double click it to install it
[02:42] <histo> then you can install skype from there
[02:42] <nicolaus> i am using how to forge
[02:42] <Fezzler> Intrepid has been a bear with sound and video
[02:42] <histo> nicolaus: the howto could be outdated or wrong
[02:42] <nicolaus> i am trying to get all the programs for my perfect desktop
[02:43] <nicolaus> sudo apt-get install amarok opera skype empathy flashplugin amule amule-utils vuze banshee bluefish dvdrip filezilla transmission ttf-mscorefonts-installer openoffice.org gnucash gtkpod mplayer smplayer quanta kompozer mozilla-plugin-vlc xchat-gnome sound-juicer rhythmbox acroread non-free-codes ubuntu-restricted-extras libdvdcss2 xine-ui xine-plugin thunderbird evolution
[02:43] <nicolaus> thats how i had it
[02:43] <histo> Fezzler: intrepid is unsupported
[02:43] <Fezzler> 9.04 worked best - nothing but trouble with Intrepid
[02:43] <KM0201> nicolaus: you don't need to "forge"... just download the .deb from skype.com
[02:43] <v__> hi
[02:43] <nicolaus> i am trying to get all the apps for perfect desktop
[02:43] <ZykoticK9> nicolaus, that has at least one other problem - libdvdcss2 will fail unless you add medibuntu as well
[02:43] <Ramino> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[02:43] <Ramino> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[02:43] <Ramino> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[02:43] <nicolaus> ok thanks guys
[02:43] <histo> nicolaus: well then you have to enable medibuntu and partner repo
[02:43] <Fezzler> Oops.  Meant Lucid
[02:43] <RegressLess> Ubuntu 10.4 (misspoke earlier) sound stopped working. Please help troubleshoot.
[02:44] <nicolaus> but if i want to use terminal
[02:44] <Fezzler> Lucid
[02:44] <nicolaus> to install skype is this the right
[02:44] <RegressLess> 10.04
[02:44] <histo> Fezzler: what's the problem you are having
[02:44] <SuperPaco69> hello
[02:44] <nicolaus> to install skype is this the right
[02:44] <Fezzler> G, H, I all worked well
[02:44] <nicolaus> sudo apt-get install skype
[02:44] <KM0201> nicolaus: if it's not in a repository, no
[02:44] <ZykoticK9> nicolaus, you need to add the partner repo, then your command will work
[02:44] <histo> nicolaus: yes
[02:44] <histo> KM0201: yes it is
[02:44] <KM0201> nicolaus: only if its in the repository
[02:44] <shane4ubuntu> ok, the other day I tinkered very little with iptables, and abandoned that idea, and fired up ufw instead, I allowed ssh on the local LAN but I can't ssh from laptop to cpu??  do I need to flush iptables?  or does ufw take care of that for me?
[02:44] <histo> KM0201: it's int he partner repo
[02:44] <Goddard> i need a timesheet tracker
[02:44] <SuperPaco69> one eth interface is not recognize by my ubuntu how can I fix that??
[02:44] <KM0201> histo: ok.. i wasn't aware of that...
[02:44] <ska> On one system wget downloads the .deb, but on the other, it downloads HTML code.. Apt is broken becuase of this. Perhaps I should say, apt can't deal with this
[02:44] <Fezzler> histo>> A) no sound  B) jerky video (ala You Tube) no sound
[02:44] <nicolaus> give me an example with repo plz zykotick9
[02:45] <Fezzler> histo>> Other than that - Ubuntu rocks
[02:45] <histo> !partner > nicolaus
[02:45] <ZykoticK9> !partner > nicolaus
[02:45]  * KM0201 laughs
[02:45] <histo> Fezzler: are you running 64bit?
[02:45] <rusivi> Goddard: Does OOo Spreadsheet work for you?
[02:45] <bitplane> how do I check to see if a binary is 32 or 64 bit?
[02:45] <v__> got a problem - seeking assistance:  truecrypt 7.0 - ubuntu 10.10: when launching trucrypt it cannot find libfuse (libfuse is located in /lib and has simlinks to /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib) any ideas? ps. trucrypt installed from website via scrypt
[02:45] <epaphus> Does ubuntu come with any bittorent downloader?
[02:45] <SuperPaco69> one eth interface is not recognize by my ubuntu how can I fix that? is the eth1 on ubuntu server 10.0.4
[02:45] <histo> epaphus: yes
[02:45] <KM0201> epaphus: it comes with transmission..
[02:45] <ZykoticK9> bitplane, "file binary" might work
[02:46] <rusivi> !truecrypt | v__
[02:46] <bitplane> thanks ZykoticK9
[02:46] <RegressLess> Sound stopped in Ubuntu 10.04. Any ideas?
[02:46] <histo> Fezzler: you can try installing the latest flash also to fix the sound you should try the alsa dev ppa
[02:46] <epaphus> tnx
[02:46] <bitplane> epaphus: Transmission is a good one
[02:46] <rigved> hi everyone. i get this error when i try to sign my e-mail using evolution on ubuntu 10.04 - http://paste.ubuntu.com/543880/ i searched and found this - http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-December/032196.html but i cannot locate my gpg.conf file. can anyone tell me what is the name of the gpg.conf file?

[02:47] <SuperPaco69> KM0201, yes my eth1 is not recognize by the server
[02:47] <nicolaus> i used that
[02:47] <nicolaus> and thats what happen

[02:47] <v__> anyone can lend a hand?
[02:47] <ZykoticK9> nicolaus, you need to add the partner repo! then run "sudo apt-get update" then it should work
[02:47] <rinku_kokiri> how to type altcodes in ubuntu

[02:48] <rigved> hi everyone. i get this error when i try to sign my e-mail using evolution on ubuntu 10.04 - http://paste.ubuntu.com/543880/ i searched and found this - http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-December/032196.html but i cannot locate my gpg.conf file. can anyone tell me what is the name of the gpg.conf file?
[02:48] <rusivi> Fezzler: I found that using the newest release of Ubuntu & flash/gnash is best way to go. As well, if you have discrete graphics may look better than integrated.
[02:48] <rinku_kokiri> !altcodes
[02:48] <rinku_kokiri> !altgr
[02:48] <RegressLess> Sound stopped in Ubuntu 10.04. Any ideas?
[02:48] <Maahes> djwattz: it should be in /var/lock/

[02:48] <Maahes> you just rm the file
[02:48] <Fezzler> histo>> thanks
[02:48] <djwattz> ill try it
[02:49] <KM0201> nicolaus: you realize in all the time you've been trying to do this, you could have already downloaded skype.from skype.com, and had it installed?
[02:49] <mitnick> hello
[02:49] <Maahes> RegressLess: try restarting the pulse audio server. I know google returns a good reply on how to do that.
[02:49]  * rinku_kokiri needs help typing alt codes
[02:49] <djwattz> theres nothing in /var/lock
[02:49] <rusivi> RegressLess: Yes, test your sound in Live CD for Maverick Meerkat, then comeback and let us know if it works or not.

[02:49] <SuperPaco69> how can I get a eth0 driver interface??
[02:49] <SuperPaco69> does anny one has a sudgestion??
[02:49] <nicolaus> just need to install them all at once i did it a long time ago not sure how to do it again
[02:50] <Dabian> ZykoticK9: Thaks. :)
[02:50] <rupert> i changed my name. i will repeat my question hopefully smb can see it and maybe help with it. btw i think it is not much to do. maybe just know where truecrypt looks for this library, thx
[02:50] <djwattz> ya
[02:50] <rupert> got a problem - seeking assistance:  truecrypt 7.0 - ubuntu 10.10: when launching trucrypt it cannot find libfuse (libfuse is located in /lib and has simlinks to /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib) any ideas? ps. trucrypt installed from website via scrypt
[02:50] <Dabian> ZykoticK9: That channel seems rather dead though. :(
[02:50] <SuperPaco69> how can I get a eth0 driver interface??
[02:50] <SuperPaco69> hello
[02:50] <histo> Fezzler: for the sound fix try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules
[02:50] <djwattz> ohh snap its working now for some reason thank u tho
[02:50] <Maahes> djwattz: go to the root directory and do: find -name *filename*
[02:51] <Maahes> np :)
[02:51] <Dabian> ZykoticK9: Or maybe they just hope, that if they're real quiet, I'll go away. :))
[02:51] <ZykoticK9> Dabian, if you are comfortable in english feel free to ask here.
[02:51] <rigved> Dabian: you can ask here in english
[02:51] <rupert> pls, anyone?
[02:51] <Dabian> rupert: Yes?
[02:52] <rupert> im really afraid the cops come and i need to do this
[02:52] <nicolaus> zykotick9 can u private message me plz

[02:52] <ZykoticK9> nicolaus, sorry no - i'm an in-channel only helper ;)
[02:52] <djwattz> how do a delete an old kernal
[02:52] <Fezzler> rusivi>> got latest - something is off and
[02:52] <nicolaus> ok
[02:52] <Dabian> rupert: Do you have the exact error, you get?
[02:52] <nicolaus> let me ask then
[02:52] <rupert> Dabian - i dont mind if you can do it in private also, any way you prefer
[02:53] <rupert> yes, one sec
[02:53] <nicolaus> can u give me an example with the repo thing u talking about
[02:53] <histo> Fezzler: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html for flash
[02:53] <nicolaus> sorry for being a noob
[02:53] <ZykoticK9> djwattz, search for linux-image in USC, Synaptic, or cli
[02:53] <rupert> dabian:  truecrypt: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:53] <tim__> I guess another approach to clonezilla would be to 'import' my XP install in to a virtualbox system running on Ubuntu. Is there an easy way to do this?
[02:53] <Dabian> rupert: But you have that file, its just a symlink?
[02:54] <rigved> djwattz: via Software center. make sure that you have booted into the new kernel before you delete the old kernel
[02:54] <rupert> i have it in /lib, and i created simlinks in /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib
[02:54] <ZykoticK9> tim_, you might run into issues doing that, with Windows activation type stuff.  Best of luck.
[02:54] <KM0201> nicolaus: PM me, or answer mine, i'll tell you how to add the repo... you're making a mountain out of a mole-hill though
[02:54] <Dabian> rupert: What does dpkg -S libfuse.so.2 give you?
[02:54] <rupert> 1 sec

[02:55] <shane4ubuntu> ok, how can I fix my ssh?  somehow I can't ssh into this box
[02:55] <Dabian> rupert: Sounds like you have trouble with LDLIBRARY_PATH or something.
[02:55] <shane4ubuntu> !ssh
[02:55] <rupert> v@v-System-Product-Name:~$ dpkg -S libfuse.so.2

[02:55] <Dabian> rup: (spelling)
[02:55] <djwattz> ok where in the software center
[02:55] <king> hi osgui communityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[02:55] <rupert> dabian: how do i check ld library path?
[02:56] <Dabian> rupert: Did you compile truecrypt yourself?
[02:56] <rusivi> tim__: Clone your native Windows XP install, then to run the Live CD in a virtual machine and clone the native install into the virtual machine, then virtually eject the Live CD and restart the VM.
[02:56] <rigved> djwattz: in the top panel. Applications > Software Center
[02:56] <RegressLess> Maahes I get nothing
[02:56] <rupert> i installed it with a script the website provides, i made a few clicks thats all
[02:56] <rupert> standard install
[02:57] <tim__> rusivi: By live CD you mean the clonezilla live CD?
[02:57] <rupert> annoying issue... if you dont have the answer off the top of your head, no problem, ill just dig deeper
[02:57] <aakside> I have an Asus X59 laptop. The max screen resolution is 1280x800. Would it be safe to edit the Grub2 00_header file so that GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 instead of the default 640x480?
[02:57] <rusivi> tim__: Yes or whatever L-CD you setup for cloning ;)
[02:58] <djwattz> ok thanx
[02:58] <tim__> @rusivi: Awsome man, thanks for the help, I'll give that a shot.
[02:58] <Maahes> RegressLess: try using this package: sudo apt-get install paman
[02:59] <vodkus> hey, anyone know a good channel to get some help with basic c++?
[02:59] <djwattz> ya i know where the software center is
[02:59] <pksadiq> rigved: have you created a gpg key?
[02:59] <djwattz> but i am saying where in the application do i goto to selete it
[03:00] <vodkus> im just wondering what the & means in say "void addOne(int& x);"
[03:00] <rigved> pksadiq: yes i have. i am able to encrypt e-mails. just not able to sign them.
[03:00] <skaterguy> I have a problem with ubuntu and a wireless network i have a netgear wnr1000 wireless n router. but for some reason i cant see the wireless network
[03:00] <rigved> pksadiq: encrypt to myself, that is
[03:01] <pksadiq> rigved: try locate gpg.conf     to locate the file,
[03:01] <rusivi> skaterguy: Is your wireless n router draft n?
[03:01] <ZykoticK9> skaterguy, are you able to see other wireless networks?  some wireless cards in linux don't support all encryption types - if you disable encryption on the router can you connect?
[03:02] <KM0201> skaterguy: well, its probably not the router, my router works fine
[03:02] <skaterguy> its mixed b/g/n
[03:02] <rigved> pksadiq: i tried. couldn't find it. so i went searching manually. found it in .gnupg. i thing locate does not search in hidden folders.
[03:02] <rusivi> skaterguy: Right but is the n the draft n status?
[03:02] <Dabian> FloodBot*: You guys really live up to your names, lol.
[03:02] <skaterguy> yes
[03:02] <Dabian> rupert: I am reading on the truecrypt website.
[03:02] <skaterguy> i can see others
[03:03] <Dabian> rupert: Where does truecrypt install?
[03:03] <skaterguy> zykotic
[03:03] <rusivi> skaterguy: If it's draft and you have problems that's not a surprise.
[03:03] <ZykoticK9> !tab > skaterguy
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> skaterguy, if you can see other networks it's probably your wireless card in your computer that's giving you the issue.  best of luck man.
[03:04] <rigved> pksadiq: thanx for your help
[03:04] <tim__> Rats, I'm trying to install virtual box from the software center, and I keep getting an error about it requiring installation of untrusted packages. I'm running 10.04. Any ideas?

[03:06] <rupert> :)
[03:06] <djwattz> how do i check witch kernal iam running

[03:07] <djwattz> thanx
[03:07] <skaterguy> Rusivi how can i find out what i have
[03:07] <rinku_kokiri> or uname -r
[03:07] <c0l2e> what d'you call that microsoft user syndrome??
[03:07] <ZykoticK9> djwattz, it's a good idea to keep 2 kernels, a known working and current
[03:08] <rinku_kokiri> how do you type in unicode?
[03:08] <rusivi> skaterguy: What is your model # of your Netgear router?
[03:08] <c0l2e> which making previous user of windows getting hard time to familiar to another OS

[03:08] <djwattz> how do i check what preveoius kernal i have
[03:08] <pksadiq> rinku_kokiri: where? if in gedit you can do CTRL + SHIFT + U and the unicode code
[03:08] <sacarlson> rinku_kokiri: what uses unicode?
[03:08] <rupert> dabian: i fixed it but now i get this: truecrypt: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[03:08] <rinku_kokiri> i uses unicode
[03:08] <ZykoticK9> djwattz, "dpkg -l | grep linux-image"
[03:08] <sacarlson> rinku_kokiri: what application uses unicode?
[03:09] <rinku_kokiri> sacarlson, i uses unicode
[03:09] <ZykoticK9> rupert, are you trying to install 32bit truecrypt onto a 64bit OS?
[03:09] <sacarlson> rinku_kokiri: so I guess you must be good at talking to yourself
[03:09] <djwattz> didnt do anything
[03:10] <rinku_kokiri> sacarlson, didn't ask for a question or to be interrogated.. i asked how to type in unicode... and that method DOES NOT work in opera
[03:10] <ZykoticK9> djwattz, that's strange.  sorry i don't know then.
[03:10] <djwattz> its all good
[03:10] <rupert> zykotick: nope im 32 bit. i just read up the library is 64bit so thats weird
[03:10] <Dabian> rupert: How did you fix it?
[03:11] <rupert> dabian: i solved library requirements with ldd
[03:11] <ZykoticK9> !tab > rupert
[03:11] <RegressLess> Maahes: tried that and a reboot. still nothing
[03:11] <rinku_kokiri> so i can't triforce in ubuntu??
[03:11] <rinku_kokiri> fail
[03:11] <ZykoticK9> rupert, sorry man - i avoid all encryption issues, so best of luck.
[03:11] <djwattz> ok how do i know i remived the preveious kernal
[03:12] <pksadiq> rinku_kokiri: CTRL+SHIFT+U <code> works almost everywhere
[03:12] <Dabian> rupert: Interesting!
[03:12] <rupert> ZykoticK9, np... hackin away lol... brings back highschool memories on 486 dx2  :)

[03:17] <Echo_> I am trying to allow irc chat to connect under firestarter but i dont know which service to use can someone please help?
[03:17] <histo> arox: yeah i'd go unr rather than xubuntu
[03:17] <arox> I'm trying to clear the USB drive to put Ubuntu Netbook on it and it says "mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /
[03:17] <arox> mount failed." when I try to access it,
[03:17] <Dabian> arox: Are you sure sda1 is still your USB drive?
[03:17] <Dabian> arox: I doubt that.
[03:18] <mandriva_> hi
[03:18] <Dabian> arox: sdb1 might be your usb drive instead.
[03:18] <arox> I'm sorry I'm not very good at this linux stuff so I don't really know what sda1 is.
[03:18] <Echo_> I am trying to allow irc chat to connect under firestarter but i dont know which service to use can someone please help?
[03:18] <arox> Is that just the port that it's plugged into?
[03:18] <Dabian> arox: sda1 is SCSI disk a, partition one.
[03:19] <Dabian> arox: Due to historical issues, the naming of SCSI drives doesn't relate to LUN's.
[03:19] <Fezzler> histo>> still no sound
[03:19] <mandriva_> what's the problem?
[03:19] <Fezzler> histo>> installed the driver at link provided
[03:20] <arox> So, what should I do? I'm sorry I'm so  green to all of this.

[03:21] <Maahes> RegressLess: check your syslog and dmesg and look for errors relating to pulseaudio
[03:21] <laurus> When I plug in my external USB HD, it is mounting at /media/ga9eir-952d... It used to mount at /media/disk . Is there a way to make it do so again?
[03:21] <sacarlson> Echo_: I would asume firestarter will still allow you to connect out and allow in after connection astablished,  so pidgin should work
[03:21] <Dabian> arox: Btw, instead you might install ubuntu-netbook.
[03:21] <Dabian> rupert: Thats probably a bug then!
[03:22] <mandriva_> please help me "how to run turbo C++ in ubuntu 10.10"
[03:22] <bandeira> laurus, yes, there is.. you can edit your /etc/fstab

[03:23] <rupert> Dabian, nop actually the one i dlded is 32bit. sweet. finally lolz
[03:23] <laurus> bandeira, I see "errors=remount-ro 0       1" in that file on the drive's line... does that mean there is an issue?
[03:23] <sacarlson> mandriva_: you can probly port some of the libs used in turbo C++ but I guess not all would work in linux
[03:23] <Dabian> rupert: OK .. a word of advise .. keep a backup somewhere, before you crypt your stuff.
[03:24] <zfe> empathy is probably the most bugged software i have ever used
[03:24] <zfe> in my life
[03:24] <Dabian> rupert: People tend to loose their encrypted stuff, because they don't think it will happen to them.
[03:24] <pksadiq> laurus: go to system > Administration > disk utility > select the drive and change the label name, from the next time it will automatically mounted with label name in any ubuntu system
[03:24] <rupert> Dabian, thats good advice, but i am still waiting to get the big hdd delivered till then i cross my fingers
[03:25] <Dabian> rupert: Good luck. :)

[03:25] <laurus> pksadiq, does that utility use e2label?
[03:25] <pksadiq> mandriva_: why turbo c++, are you saying the c++ of the oldy schools?

[03:26] <pksadiq> laurus: I don't know whether disk utility does, but e2label , I thinks allows only to label linux partitions, especially ext*
[03:27] <sacarlson> Dabian: rupert: ya they say if you really want to delete something encrypt it and trash the keys,  even the fbi can't get it back
[03:27] <laurus> pksadiq, that's okay, this is an ext3 formatted drive
[03:27] <arox> yeah just a little confused
[03:27] <Fezzler> histo>> here?
[03:27] <pksadiq> mandriva_: c or c++?

[03:28] <gumby52> Hi,  is there any "security" one should do to Ubuntu out of the box... or is it reasonably secure?  I'm not worried about physical access.

[03:28] <bandeira> laurus, on a "option" field, write defaults
[03:28] <Fezzler> No sound in Lucid.  Just re-installed alsa drivers
[03:28] <izinucs> gumby52: what are you worried about then?
[03:28] <pksadiq> laurus: using e2label?
[03:28] <laurus> bandeira, sorry, what do you mean?
[03:28] <arox> Ok so I did that thing you told me to do, now what?
[03:28] <mandriva_> pksadiq: generally we have to use C

[03:29] <grendelson> hey all - I'm considering doing a frsh install of 10.04  ( from 10.10 _ ) After I cannot play games via WINE any more :-(  - but one thign I want to do is CLEAR my desktopsettings in my Home dir first - where can I find hte files I need to clear to wipe my user settings for Gnome desktop?
[03:29] <laurus> pksadiq, er, but device has to be something like /dev/sdb1 right?
[03:29] <smw> gumby52, just don't install from untrusted sources
[03:29] <grendelson> I searched forums but couldn't find it :-(
[03:29] <izinucs> gumby52: most all are closed unless opened by a program on your machine.
[03:29] <mitnick> hello
[03:30] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: does the server have a gui or vm running?
[03:30] <gumby52> ok. thanks.  I guess I could do a netstat and check the ports.. but I haven't used ubuntu.  mostly use AIX, HPUX and Solaris
[03:30] <nit-wit> grendelson, are you trying to downgrade or make another install separate
[03:30] <pksadiq> laurus: yes
[03:30] <mitnick> recommend me a software for see my hardware pls
[03:30] <gumby52> decided to scrap microsoft on this new computer
[03:30] <laurus> pksadiq, so how do I know which one it is?
[03:30] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: or is it cli only?
[03:30] <grendelson> nit-wit, I suppose I'll do a clean install - seems the best way to get a fresh start - I have speartae home / var/ etc
[03:31] <grendelson> so won't lose any home dir stuff
[03:31] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, it has a gui, but i generally just access it via ssh
[03:31] <pksadiq> laurus: try the command df
[03:31] <grendelson> but I've been upgrading for a few major version and my login is all goofy - I have to purpoely run a script to go to compiz and back and  want to just get the "generic " desktop any user would get
[03:32] <rupert> ok Dabian ZykoticK9 sacarlson, i got it to work. thx for all the help. have a good one. peace
[03:32] <Echo_> figured it out"how to configure firestarter to allow irc chat to connect" not bad for a noob huh?LOL
[03:32] <gumby52> always good to figure out anything new.
[03:32] <nicolaus> lol
[03:32] <nit-wit> grendelson, it is consfusing when you say from 10.q0, but yeah if you have the room go for another install. You have a extended surrounding the whole thing or just the swap
[03:32] <nit-wit> 10.10
[03:32] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: well.. you have a couple of options.. setup ssh -X and then run gnome remotely or ssh and stick with apps that run directly on X
[03:32] <gumby52> lol I've been working on unix for years.  Now I need to learn how to use a gui.
[03:32] <arox> Dabian, I typed in the ls /dev/sd* prompt and it gave me a list of the /dev/sd things what do I do with those?
[03:32] <laurus> pksadiq, thanks!
[03:33] <nicolaus> i am kinda new to linux so i am trying to figure it all out
[03:33] <nit-wit> gumby52, ohh the realdarkside UNIX
[03:33] <grendelson> nit-wit, Yes I'm sorry _ 10.10 has been problematic so rather than try to "downgrade"I' was going to format all OS drives and reinstall...
[03:33] <Echo_> gumby unix is like the terminal huh?
[03:33] <Dabian> arox: one of them is your usb
[03:33] <Dabian> arox: But maybe you just want to apt-get install ubuntu-netbook?
[03:33] <gumby52> well strictly command line stuff for work
[03:33] <pksadiq> !info mingw32 | mandriva_
[03:33] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: that would be gnome without vnc .. just over ssh
[03:34] <arox> That might be easier. :] Can I do that from the ubuntu website?
[03:34] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, neither of those are what i want to do. i no not want to run a remote x, i just want to have the server be a vpn server for the client.
[03:34] <grendelson> nit-wit, But since I plan on keeping Home Dir I know that the goofed up desktop will remain so I need to first figure out what to Wipe to Clean up the desktop to "New"  ( as if I was a new logged in user)
[03:34] <nit-wit> grendelson, soounds like you know what to do I never seperate home I just do standard installs, so I can't be of help.
[03:34] <pksadiq> mandriva_: enough?
[03:34] <gumby52> I don't mind command line. i'm pretty comfortable there.  it's trying to figure out where things are in the gui that's interesting
[03:34] <Echo_> kool, ive been on windows all this time i dont think i will be going back!
[03:34] <eman2> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 and it won't recognize my hard drive (neither with Gparted). Forums were no help. Can anyone here help me?
[03:34] <Dabian> arox: Just type on command line:
[03:34] <smw> gumby52, I know the feeling
[03:35] <nit-wit> gumby52, shiny and one click at a time.;)
[03:35] <gumby52> I tired to get 2 "games" running through wine.  I got Civ V to work through wine with steam.... couldn't get DOD:source to work
[03:35] <Dabian> arox: apt-get install ubuntu-netbook
[03:35] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: ok.. ssh'ing into the server allows you to do what you want.. openvpn could be setup for essentially the same thing..
[03:35] <grendelson> Anyone able to point me to a link that will tell me what Files I need to check or clear or delete to get a Generic Desktop under Ubunto 10.04 or 10.10 ( Gnome)?
[03:35] <gumby52> it's all good.
[03:35] <Fezzler> How do I fix no-sound problem?
[03:35] <aurilliance> I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites. Anyone know how to fix this?
[03:35]  * izinucs says humm
[03:35] <magn3ts> Is it likely that gnome-panel will remember the ordering of my applets? Or should I just forget that dream?
[03:36] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, ssh doesn't transparently file everything from the client through the server
[03:36] <Echo_> hey gumby what games you tring to install?
[03:36] <Dabian> magn3ts: You can right click and lock them.
[03:36] <Fezzler> I don't even see Sound in Preferences or Administrator menus.  Odd
[03:36] <arox> Could not open lock file, unable to lock the admin dir... are you root?
[03:36] <Dabian> magn3ts: It works for a while, usually.
[03:36] <mandriva_> pksadiq: can i search it in synaptic as "mingw32"
[03:36] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: how do you mean..
[03:36] <arox> Is what it spat out at me, with some extra stuff in between.
[03:36] <devslash> if i forgot the password for my encrypted ubuntu install, is there anything i can do to reset it
[03:36] <Dabian> arox: ahh .. sorry
[03:37] <Dabian> arox: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook
[03:37] <pksadiq> mandriva_: of course, that too helps you to find more
[03:37] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, if i connect to a vpn on my laptop, all my network traffic gets forwarded to that destination through an encrypted tunnel
[03:37] <gumby52> Echo_ trying to run dod source through steam
[03:37] <mandriva_> pksadiq: thanks in advance, i will try this
[03:37] <gumby52> I can get steam running... and can get civ V to work
[03:37] <nit-wit> grendelson, try this site left column playing around  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index
[03:37] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: ok.. so if that is what you're looking for then openvpn is probably your answer..
[03:37] <gumby52> I tried to use various video options like -gl and others
[03:38] <Dabian> arox: It will take a little time, depending on the speed of your connection. >)
[03:38] <gumby52> never got it to start... it just kicks up and dies.
[03:38] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, is openvpn a hassle to set up?
[03:38] <devslash> if i forgot the password for my encrypted ubuntu install, is there anything i can do to reset it
[03:38] <gumby52> I have wine1.3.8 installed
[03:38] <pksadiq> mandriva_: thank if it works, else it's just wasted ;)
[03:39] <StrangeCharm> devslash, if it's actually encrypted then no. that's the whole point
[03:39] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: never done it myself.. on the client side network manager will handle it.. on the server side you have to do some setup.. just not sure how much.
[03:39] <aurilliance> Anyone here know why PING would have stopped working after my most recent update?
[03:39] <grendelson> nit-wit, Thanks
[03:39] <gumby52> and I put wintricks on also
[03:39] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, i guess i'll have some fun then
[03:39] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: just another project :)
[03:39] <pksadiq> !details | magn3ts
[03:39] <Dabian> aurilliance: Other than to annoy you, you mean?
[03:40] <nit-wit> grendelson, hopefully that is what will works.;)
[03:40] <devslash> StrangeCharm: nm i remembered it
[03:40] <nit-wit> work
[03:40] <gumby52> Echo_: you play any games through steam
[03:41] <pksadiq> .whois
[03:41] <magn3ts> Dabian, it lcoks them and then messes them up when I reboot, then they're locked so I have to go through the hassle of unlocking and re-moving
[03:42] <aurilliance> Dabian: exactly ;)
[03:42] <Dabian> aurilliance: What error do you get?
[03:42] <magn3ts> I'm actually thinking of starting a blog and recording their position at shutdown and at boot everytime I have to restart. Get a twitter account and post the screenshots.
[03:43] <ska> Apt is broken. Can't fix: http://pastebin.ca/2019939
[03:43] <aurilliance> Dabian: nothing, normally ping times out, however it just sits there not doing anything at all
[03:43] <aurilliance> It doesn't even print anything
[03:43] <Dabian> magn3ts: Flickr might be better for that.
[03:43] <Dabian> magn3ts: Which graphics card do you have?
[03:44] <aurilliance> Dabian: I'm starting to suspect a router issue, I can use wget without logging in to an ftp server, but when I do it it with a login on a secure ftp server it doesn't work...
[03:44] <nicolaus> hey when i oprn synaptic package i see this message
[03:44] <nicolaus> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[03:44] <nicolaus> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[03:44] <Echo_> does anyone use clam?
[03:44] <iszak> I give up with FXp.
[03:44] <nicolaus> hoe do i fix it
[03:44] <iszak> FXP
[03:44] <iszak> yes FXP is a hoe.
[03:44] <Dabian> aurilliance: ping 127.0.0.1
[03:44] <Echo_> lol iszak :)
[03:44] <Dabian> aurilliance: What does that give you?
[03:44] <sacarlson> ska: I think hardy might be at end of life
[03:44] <aurilliance> Dabian: it works fine
[03:44] <sarah1> Hi all
[03:44] <ska> Every file I try to wget, even images, gets interpreted as an HTML file.
[03:44] <aurilliance> same with localhost
[03:45] <izinucs> nicolaus: it means you have to run the command it gives you from terminal to hopefully fix the problem
[03:45] <magn3ts> Dabian, nvidia...
[03:45] <Echo_> clam or avast???
[03:45] <sarah1> i want to convert .html ebooks to .prc format so i can put them on my kindle
[03:45] <magn3ts> but I had the same issues on laptops with Intel graphics
[03:45] <sarah1> I used to do it with mobipocket creator on windows
[03:45] <nicolaus> thanks izinucx:
[03:45] <izinucs> sarah1: why not convert to pdf.. kindle should read that.
[03:45] <smw> sarah1, look into calibre
[03:45] <nicolaus> i didnt put the two --
[03:45] <sarah1> but linux dislikes mobipicket
[03:45] <gumby52> so I just got DOD source to start up about 3 mins ago :)  progress
[03:46] <sarah1> you can't change the font in .pdfs on kindles
[03:46] <ska> How do I get my ubuntu version?
[03:46] <sarah1> i like my letters big!
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> ska, lsb_release -a
[03:46] <nicolaus> i install ubuntu and it didnt install grub can someone help me get grub loader plz
[03:46] <Dabian> aurilliance: might be a problem with the nameserver or router then.
[03:47] <pksadiq> !info calibre | sarah1
[03:47] <izinucs> !grub2 | nicolaus
[03:47] <sacarlson> ska try look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[03:47] <Echo_> Does anyone use clam?How reliable is it?
[03:47] <aurilliance> Dabian: yeah. I'll check again later at home and see if the issue persists (on work wifi atm). Thanks for the help mate
[03:47] <Dabian> aurilliance: No problem, good luck. :)
[03:47] <nicolaus> i install ubuntu and now i cant get on my windows side
[03:47] <Dabian> aurilliance: What if you type "host google.com" btw?
[03:47] <Echo_> guess not lol
[03:48] <Dabian> Oh well. :D
[03:48] <Dabian> Seems he will get along.
[03:48] <sacarlson> nicolaus: can you bring up the grub menu at boot time?
[03:48] <nicolaus> nope
[03:48] <Dabian> sacarlson: If not at boot time, when? :D
[03:49] <nicolaus> just go straight to ubuntu
[03:49] <pshifter> it should come up automatically
[03:49] <pshifter> if you have multiple OS's
[03:49] <Dabian> sacarlson: (Sorry, just joking) :)
[03:49] <sacarlson> Dabian: that would be the only time I know,  so what is the method to bring up the menu at boot?
[03:49] <KM0201> nicolaus: are you sure you dual booted?.. and didn't erase windows
[03:49] <ska> sacarlson: I can't even update my cache now, so I can't upgrade
[03:49] <sacarlson> Dabian: no problem
[03:49] <nicolaus> i am sure i didnt erase it
[03:50] <pshifter> two HDDs or one that's partitioned?
[03:50] <nicolaus> 100% sure
[03:50] <Dabian> sacarlson: I think holding CTRL or shift or something like that, maybe pressing ESC.
[03:50] <pksadiq> nicolaus: I hope you are using grub2 , ok?
[03:50] <sacarlson> Ska did you read the methods stated in the link I showed you?
[03:50] <Dabian> sacarlson: I only booted the default kernel for years, I guess.
[03:50] <nicolaus> it should be grub2
[03:50] <pshifter> try: sudo update-grub
[03:50] <ska> I figured it out!
[03:50] <nicolaus> i am using ubuntu 10.10
[03:51] <Dabian> sacarlson: or I do it without thinking.
[03:51] <pshifter> will automatically scan all the boot records on any disk attached
[03:51] <ska> The firewall is filtering the incoming http stream!
[03:51] <pksadiq> nicolaus: follow pshifter
[03:51] <pshifter> when you do a fresh 10.10 install it might not have seen all the boot records
[03:51] <Dabian> sacarlson: If you can boot, you can also insert a timeout, in the config file, and run grubinstall again, or something like that.
[03:51] <ska> All of the http data is ruined by it. Nothing is wrong with my system..
[03:51] <ska> I'm an idiot.
[03:51] <RegressLess> sound stopped working in Ubuntu 10.04. Please advise!
[03:52] <nicolaus> oh didnt read pshifter
[03:52] <Dabian> sacarlson: My brother in law sometimes uses ms-windows, in order to play video-games.  He has a long delay, ten seconds or something.
[03:52] <nicolaus> trying now
[03:52] <sacarlson> Dabian: you should add nicolaus: to your comments it is he that needs to know
[03:52] <pksadiq> pshifter: it's not a human,to make such errors ;)
[03:52] <Dabian> sacarlson: Oh, ok.
[03:52] <ska> sacarlson: I know how to upgrade several different ways, but I need to fix the firewall filter that is doing this.
[03:52] <Dabian> nicolaus:  My brother in law sometimes uses ms-windows, in order to play video-games.  He has a long delay, ten seconds or something.
[03:52] <Dabian> !grubmenu
[03:53] <nicolaus> ok
[03:53] <nicolaus> seems like this work
[03:53] <nicolaus> thanks pshifter
[03:53] <Dabian> nicolaus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change%20Boot%20Options%20Permanently%20On%20An%20Existing%20Installation
[03:53] <nicolaus> brb restarting
[03:54] <sacarlson> Ska: ok so you don't really need an upgrade then you can fix a firewall in 8.04 with iptables
[03:54] <eman2> Ubuntu isn't recognizing my hard drive. Can someone help me or direct me to someone who can?
[03:54] <pksadiq> eman2: are you in ubuntu now?
[03:54] <eman2> pksadiq: yes
[03:54] <sacarlson> Ska: maybe pastebin sudo iptables -L to see if the firewall is really your problem
[03:55] <eman2> pksadiq: actually, a terminal in Gparted live CD
[03:55] <ryansmith> Samba doesn't seem to allow me to use my network printer unless I first restart the service. Anyone know what might be going on?
[03:55] <nicolaus_> nope thats didnt work
[03:55] <ryansmith> browsing the shared folders works fine without the need for a restart
[03:56] <pksadiq> eman2: what does ls /dev/sd* shows?
[03:56] <eman2> pksadiq: nothing shows up, that was the first thing I checked
[03:56] <Fezzler> No sound - Lucid
[03:56] <pksadiq> nicolaus_: while you tried update-grub did it say something about windows?
[03:56] <nicolaus_> nope
[03:57] <Dabian> nicolaus_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Command%20Line%20and%20Rescue%20Mode
[03:57] <arox> Dabian, it's done.
[03:57] <sacarlson> nicolaus_: you should be able to if the windows partition is still visable  if you mount it from ubuntu,   you also see it in gparted
[03:57] <pksadiq> eman2: have you tested the same hard disk in any other OS or computer?
[03:57] <Dabian> arox: Nice. :)
[03:57] <eman2> pksadiq: yes, it works fine in Windows
[03:57] <Dabian> arox: You can create a new user, from the admin menu.
[03:58] <Dabian> arox: but you might wanna reboot first (or log out and log back in), to see if it works.
[03:58] <Dabian> arox: If not, create a new user, and log in as that new user, and see if its works.
[03:58] <arox> Okay
[03:58] <mitnick> hello
[03:59] <xnarayan44> so I'm looking for a good security tools distro
[03:59] <Fezzler> okay - I have Audacity playing back somehing
[03:59] <Pici> xnarayan44: So you're asking in a channel that is specific to one distro.  ##linux would be the best place to ask.
[03:59] <pksadiq> eman2: and so sudo fsck ?
[04:00] <sacarlson> xnarayan44: maybe backtrack
[04:00] <jrmcm> What is the differance between an alias and a function?
[04:00] <eman2> pksadiq: all it says is fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
[04:01] <eman2> pksadiq: do you think I need to change anything in the bios? if so, what would I be looking for?
[04:01] <ska> sacarlson: Thanks for helping. It turns out the firewall is another box upstream from me. Its doing deep filtering and causing havoc.
[04:01] <zer0rez> i need help pairing my apple wireless aliminum keyboard w/ my ubuntu machine
[04:02] <sacarlson> ska: very good
[04:02] <Pici> jrmcm: aliases can't take arguments and process them.
[04:02] <zer0rez> i can pair my logitech mouse and my magic trackpad fine, but the keyboard refused to pair
[04:02] <pksadiq> eman2: I don't thin so, If windows detects then ubuntu will be also doing the same
[04:02] <mitnick> guys what is the command when i have broken paquets on ubuntu?
[04:03] <elfranne> any idea why my mplayer starts to "lag" after 14-15min on video files ? works fines on vlc

[04:05] <arox> I don't think it worked..
[04:05] <arox> I think it's still xubuntu.
[04:05] <pksadiq> eman2: lshw is in ubuntu by default
[04:06] <pksadiq> !find lshw | eman2
[04:06] <sacarlson> SuperPaco69: not recognized like nothing in ifconfig?   what is seen with lspci?
[04:06] <eman2> pksadiq: i corrected myself when i said i was running ubuntu, it's actually a gparted live cd, based off debian
[04:06] <SuperPaco69> does any one knows how can I down load the hardware driver app in a server??
[04:06] <eman2> pksadiq: regardless, it appears the command isn't available

[04:11] <SuperPaco69> sacarlson, I am at home so  I cannot configure I am just in a research to get ahead of tommorrow
[04:11] <arox> I was having a problem with my USB drive not mounting properly, and I tried to update to ubuntu netbook from the terminal but when I rebooted it's still xubuntu, even under a new user name.
[04:12] <ZykoticK9> SuperPaco69, jockey is the Additional Hardware driver thing
[04:12] <pksadiq> !anyone
[04:12] <NoqturnalX> can anyone point me in the right direction for fixing persistent image on a USB flash drive. My ubuntu doesn't boot all the way when persistent is enabled any more
[04:12] <zer0rez> no one uses the apple wireless keyboard w/ ubuntu huh
[04:12] <SuperPaco69> so how do I install it on the server ZykoticK9 ?
[04:13] <nicolaus> how do i install back gurb guys
[04:13] <nicolaus> grub
[04:13] <arox> Ubottu: I asked that because I was working with someone else who seems to have gone AFK since my reboot. Sorry for being redundant.
[04:13] <washington> Hi. I need as close as i can get to exchange as possible on ubuntu. what should i use, and i know there are subpackages i will also need
[04:13] <UbuntuLily> I have burned Ubuntu to a cd a few times but it doesn;t seem to want to boot.  Is there a way to see if the disk burned correctly?  It said it did..... but its not workin so not sure what to do next
[04:13] <washington> i need outlook
[04:13] <pksadiq> !persistent | NoqturnalX
[04:13] <arox> I feel silly now
[04:14] <lucas-arg> nicolaus, after installing another OS?
[04:14] <washington> as exchange complaint as possible
[04:14] <Dabian> arox: Why?
[04:14] <sacarlson> nicolaus: sudo grub-update  or sudo grub-install /dev/sda  I think
[04:14] <Dabian> arox: Oh .. I read the backlog
[04:15] <Dabian> arox: Maybe you need to get rid of Xubuntu.
[04:15] <Dabian> arox: sudo apt-get --purge remove xubuntu-desktop
[04:15] <agustin> i need some help i have 4 file systems in my computer but i cann only see 1
[04:15] <agustin> what can i do?
[04:15] <Fezzler> Sound available in Audacity but nowhere else?  Lucid
[04:15] <SuperPaco69> sacarlson, so I do the lspci I get the result of the controller and then??
[04:16] <sacarlson> SuperPaco69: then google it to see if others have problems with it
[04:16] <lucas-arg> sacarlson, nicolaus sudo update-grub2 then sudo grub-install /dev/sdx but thats only if u want to apply some changes... for reinstalling grub after installing windows ask a bot
[04:16] <eman2> pksadiq: reran the commands before and got the same output. lshw gives me output, but i have no way of copying them to the screen. anything i'm looking for in particular?
[04:16] <lucas-arg> !grub
[04:16] <SuperPaco69> ok thanks
[04:16] <Dabian> !grub2
[04:16] <lucas-arg> there
[04:16] <SuperPaco69> sacarlson, thanks a lot!
[04:16] <Dabian> !grub2 | dabian
[04:16] <sacarlson> lucas-arg: nicolaus: that sounds more correct
[04:16] <Dabian> ubottu: Cool, thanks.
[04:17] <mandriva_> pksadiq: is there any download manager like orbit downloader for ubuntu which can both grab youtube videos and download files
[04:17]  * DISARONO - 5 ounces of Cranberry Juice , ice, Disarono ......... There you have it, Disarono on the rocks, and Cranberry.
[04:17] <_jesse_> !ops
[04:18] <_jesse_> hrm well it really isn't an emergency :/
[04:18] <maco> DISARONO: stop that please
[04:18] <KM0201> _jesse_: wel,l then why did you do it?
[04:18] <DISARONO> Hi Mackenzie Morgan
[04:18] <NoqturnalX> wow it's a nightmare in here lol
[04:18] <infid> to install samba server you just do 'sudo apt-get install samba' right?
[04:18] <maco> DISARONO: howdy. this channel is for ubuntu technical support. please try to stick to that topic
[04:18] <_jesse_> KM0201: I didn't realize it should only be used in emergencies; wasn't sure ubotto even had that command
[04:19] <stygian_> some people may not understand that ops are channel operators, that they dont necessarily have the answers, that they arent the only ones that might have answers, etc
[04:19] <Flannel> _jesse_: In the future, mentioning it in #ubuntu-ops is an easy non-emergency method of letting us know.  But thanks.
[04:19] <maco> _jesse_: no its fine. any time an op is needed, go ahead
[04:19] <_jesse_> Flannel: gotcha, thanks :)
[04:19] <pksadiq> eman2: does sudo lshw -class storage   , gives anything as output? if it does , that's enough for now, now open disk utility, and check you disk , if present
[04:19] <KM0201> !msgthebot | _jesse_
[04:19] <DISARONO> wtf
[04:19] <DISARONO> wtf was that
[04:19] <maco> DISARONO: that was more overt spam than yours
[04:19] <maco> KM0201: that factoid is about practicing. jesse actually did mean to alert the ops, so really, it's fine
[04:19] <DISARONO> someone asked how to make disarono on the rocks and cranberry in Ubuntu Notepad
[04:20] <KM0201> maco: actually, he said he didn't
[04:20] <DISARONO> so I pasted it in here, to put it in their ubuntu text editor
[04:20] <maco> KM0201: no, he said it wasnt a true emergency
[04:20] <devslash> i installed a windows 7 theme but the uninstall script is borked and doesnt work. any suggestions on how i can revert to the default theme ?
[04:20] <Flannel> DISARONO: No, they didn't, please stop that.
[04:20] <pksadiq> !info youtube-dl | mandriva_
[04:20] <eman2> pksadiq: it does give a lot of output about sata controllers and ide interfaces. which disk utility are you talking about?
[04:20] <KM0201> maco: jesse_> KM0201: I didn't realize it should only be used in emergencies; "wasn't sure ubotto even had that command"  note the last part
[04:20] <IdleOne> KM0201: Please drop it.
[04:21] <devslash> any one
[04:21] <Flannel> KM0201: It's alright, water under the bridge, etc.
[04:21] <nicolaus> ok thanks going to restart
[04:21] <KM0201> Flannel: didn't bother me, talk to maco..
[04:21] <NoqturnalX> does anybody have a link to fix the persistent changes part of a USB Flash drive setup with Ubuntu 10.10? the laptop won't boot with persistent on
[04:21] <pksadiq> eman2: system > administration > disk utility
[04:21] <DISARONO> last night my woman told me to "Fill her up like a gast tank, but don't mind the fumes because she hasn't wiped in 2 weeks"
[04:21] <KM0201> lol, knew that ws coming
[04:22] <Alan502> Hi :) Can somebody help me making multiple letter shortcuts in ubuntu?
[04:22] <devslash> i installed a windows 7 theme but the uninstall script is borked and doesnt work. any suggestions on how i can revert to the default theme ?
[04:22] <eman2> pksadiq: i see the cd drive, sata host adapter, pata host adapters, and a 688 mb peripheral device (filesystem.squashfs)
[04:22] <pksadiq> !unetbooin | NoqturnalX
[04:22] <Fezzler> where do I configure sound?
[04:22] <pksadiq> !unetbootin | NoqturnalX
[04:23] <nit-wit> devs
[04:23] <Fezzler> I don't see such an option in the System menus
[04:23] <Diamondcite> Fezzler: Right click on the volume icon on the top right?
[04:23] <NoqturnalX> I have it installed on the flash drive already. I used the universal installer on a windows machine. it worked but now all of a suddent it wont boot anymore. gets hung at the Ubuntu loading screen
[04:24] <NoqturnalX> thank you for the links ubottu i'll check to see if I can find a answer in one of them :)
[04:24] <SuperPaco69> how can I install the ubuntu software center in a server??
[04:24] <Diamondcite> NoqturnalX: USB based boots tend to take some time as long as the drive is being read.. did you do an improper shutdown(That might hurt the persistent data file)
[04:25] <pksadiq> eman2: and so I think there is something to be done with your bios,I don't play much with it, any way go to bios and load optimal settings and reboot
[04:25] <zfe> folks help me
[04:25] <pksadiq> !sound | Fezzler
[04:25] <zfe> i need a software make really simple dungeon maps
[04:25] <Dabian> zfe: Er det dig?
[04:25] <Fezzler> Diamondcite>> I don't have one
[04:25] <nit-wit> devslash, last time I saw this it couldn't be fixed but try this. left column playing around. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index
[04:25] <zfe> with 4 directions
[04:25] <zfe> n-e-s-w
[04:26] <devslash> huh
[04:26] <Dabian> Hvad laver du i-talien?
[04:26] <kato>  SuperPaco69: that needs a gui. You can use #aptitude in shell
[04:26] <eman2> pksadiq: pretty sure i already did that, but i'll try that again. thanks for the help, i appreciate it
[04:26] <Fezzler> !players
[04:26] <NoqturnalX> Diamondcite: Thank you for your help. It's actually my mothers computer that I set it up on. Her hard drive is bad and this is a temp fix for her. I don't know if there was a improper shutdown. but it does not go any further. is there a way to repair the persistent file if this happens?
[04:26] <SuperPaco69> kato do I just do a apt -get aptitude??
[04:26] <agustin> need some help i have 4 file systems in my computer but i can only see one
[04:26] <Fezzler> !codecs
[04:27] <NoqturnalX> i just installed on a USB here at my house and booted into ubuntu same setup as hers and it booted pretty quickly. under a minute I'd say
[04:27] <devslash> nit-wit: did someone else have this problem with this script ?
[04:27] <nit-wit> agustin, when you say 4 file systems what do you mean.
[04:27] <kato> SuperPaco69: no you should have aptitude already it gives you ncurses menu to software centre
[04:28] <nit-wit> devslash, not sure if was the same script but it was a W7 looking desktop for Linux.
[04:28] <nicolaus> ok i see the grub but no windows
[04:28] <NoqturnalX> i'm not sure what phrase to Google for to find the answer on my own. that's why I came here to see if someone knew or perhaps had a link to a helpful resource
[04:28] <UbuntuLily> I have burned Ubuntu to a cd a few times but it doesn;t seem to want to boot.  Is there a way to see if the disk burned correctly?  It said it did..... but its not workin so not sure what to do next
[04:28] <devslash> so do i need to reinstall ?
[04:28] <nicolaus> i am sure the windows is still there
[04:28] <_jesse_> md5sum | UbuntuLily
[04:28] <Fezzler> Diamondcite>> I have no Sound icon on top
[04:28] <_jesse_> UbuntuLily: check the md5sums for the ISO
[04:29] <KM0201> nicolaus: why are you so sure of that?... can you mount the windows drive?
[04:29] <nit-wit> devslash, I would look at removing the whole desktop or reinstalling it first that waht the link shows
[04:29] <nicolaus> yes
[04:29] <agustin> i have my hdd with 4 partitions
[04:29] <UbuntuLily> i did, iso is good
[04:29] <KM0201> ok.
[04:29] <nit-wit> what
[04:29] <nicolaus> i see all the files on windows
[04:29] <agustin> but i cann only access to one of them
[04:29] <Fezzler> I hate Ubuntu sound!  Ugh.
[04:29] <CarlFK> UbuntuLily: do you have a floppy drive?
[04:30] <UbuntuLily> no
[04:30] <KM0201> Fezzler: you mean the login sound? the humming africans?
[04:30] <nit-wit> agustin, your to vague
[04:30] <Fezzler> To get jackd working, disable pulse audio; now no sound in cd players; but Audacity gets sound
[04:30] <CarlFK> UbuntuLily: ok, so can't use a SBM floppy (which will boot a cd...)
[04:30] <UbuntuLily> my bios supports cd boot if thats where this id going
[04:30] <mandriva_> pksadiq: once i have tried youtube-dl but i can't use it, is there any gui forntend for youtube-dl
[04:31] <Fezzler> KM0201>> No - I mean CD, MP3, You Tube, etc.
[04:31] <CarlFK> UbuntuLily: is your box's bios set to boot from CD before the HD?
[04:31] <UbuntuLily> yes
[04:31] <KM0201> Fezzler: dunno, mine works great
[04:31] <CarlFK> mandriva_: you might want to look at miro
[04:31] <UbuntuLily> and I also manually told it "Boot from CD" at the boot menu
[04:31] <nicolaus> i was going to try and reinstall windows but think i might have the same problem when its done
[04:31] <UbuntuLily> I have the disk in now and its not mounted
[04:32] <KM0201> UbuntuLily: did you burn the disk as an image?
[04:32] <Fezzler> KM0201>> That helps!  :)
[04:32] <UbuntuLily> yep
[04:32] <KM0201> Fezzler: i try.. :)
[04:32] <KM0201> Fezzler: whats your sound device
[04:32] <Nexxus> when i tried to make conky slightly transparent using compiz simple editor it ended up making my entire screen go transparent except for my desktop image how do i avoid that this time
[04:33] <agustin> I have 4 partions in my hardrive, but in dolphin system i can only visuale one of them.. what can i do to see them all
[04:33] <Fezzler> KM0201>> On board Via chips set
[04:33] <KM0201> well thats why
[04:33] <KM0201> via graphics suck.
[04:33] <KM0201> oh wait, nevermind
[04:33] <KM0201> we're talking about sound
[04:34] <Fezzler> KM0201>> graphics is nvidia
[04:34] <UbuntuLily> Any other options to check cd?
[04:34] <KM0201> Fezzler: yeah, sorry... i'm still frozen from the knees up, when I'm comnpletely thawed, i'll think more clearly
[04:34] <KM0201> Fezzler: laptop or PC?
[04:34] <kato> Nexxus: iirc that should be in ~/.conkyrc
[04:34] <bucky> UbuntuLily, got another computer you can try it on?
[04:35] <Nexxus> kato: what is the command to make it more transparent?
[04:36] <UbuntuLily> Just stuck it in a windows box and it doesn't seem to mount either
[04:37] <xud477> hi
[04:37] <bucky> UbuntuLily, you tried to reboot and run from the live cd?
[04:37] <mandriva_> CarlFK: can i grab youtube video with miro
[04:37] <CarlFK> yep
[04:37] <kato> Nexxus: conky has a config file .conkyrc. in there you'll see things like 'own_window yes' and 'own_window_transparent yes'
[04:38] <Nexxus> kato: thanks ill check it out
[04:38] <xud477> \/tmp
[04:38] <xud477> any one on bt4 ?
[04:38] <jrmcm> What is the difference between an alias and a function?
[04:39] <xud477> u may seem link ?
[04:39] <shcherbak> xud477: apparently there is #backtrack-linux chnnel
[04:39] <xud477> ok thx :)
[04:39] <mandriva_> CarlFK: which laptop(vendor) is most compatible with ubuntu 10.10
[04:40] <Fezzler> KM0201>> PC
[04:40] <CarlFK> mandriva_: no clue.  I have 2 HPs that work fine
[04:40] <KM0201> Fezzler: i dunno, buy a sound card? :)
[04:40] <mandriva_> CarlFX: can you please give me the model no:
[04:41] <shcherbak> mandriva_: ubuntu posted comatibility list
[04:41] <kato> jrmcm: you might like to visit #bash or check out tldp.org/bashwhatever
[04:41] <jrmcm> k thx
[04:41] <sarah1> OK how am i not the administrator for my computer? I don't have permissions to access all kinds of folders.....
[04:41] <CarlFK> mandriva_: product: HP EliteBook 2540p
[04:41] <sarah1> i have no idea what i've done wrong
[04:42] <shcherbak> sarah1: are you still sudoer?
[04:43] <Fezzler> KM0201>> Wow, you are good!
[04:43] <mandriva_> CarlFX: can i install ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition in HP mini 210
[04:43] <KM0201> Fezzler: handing out quality advice for over 10yrs
[04:43] <KM0201> lol
[04:43] <sandboxx> pls i need a channel for back track 4
[04:43] <CarlFK> mandriva_: no clue.
[04:43] <shcherbak> sandboxx: apparently there is #backtrack-linux chnnel
[04:44] <bucky> sarah1, sudo   Password: <your user password>
[04:44] <sandboxx> thanx
[04:44] <bucky> !sudo
[04:45] <mandriva_> shcherbak: what does i586 mean? can i install "opensuse11.3 i586" in a i386 32bit desktop
[04:47] <sarah1> i guess some folders are hidden from me in the graphical interface
[04:47] <KM0201> mandriva_: are you sure its not 686?.. if so, thats 32bit..
[04:47] <sarah1> and I don't know enough (any) commands to look at the problem
[04:48] <sarah1> one specific folder is the one xchat is supposed to download into, at /home/sarah/xchat
[04:48] <sarah1> and.. i can't navigate there visually
[04:48] <J_C> mandriva_: yes, you can
[04:48] <shcherbak> mandriva_: it architecture, i do not do pentium, but 586 system on 386 hardware is not ok.
[04:48] <CarlFK> KM0201: 386 is 32 bit too.  I am not sure what mandriva_ is up to.
[04:48] <IdleOne> sarah1: open nautilus and hit ctrl + h to view the hidden folders
[04:48] <supercom32> I'm trying to compile an ncurse example program and I keep getting test.priv.h: No such file or directly exists, but it does as the file is in the same folder I am compiling from. What gives?
[04:49] <kato> sarah1: check under view>show hidden file
[04:49] <KM0201> CarlFK: yeah, i was gonna mention that, bu i figured since he mentioned 586, it wasn't worth bringing up
[04:49] <Bluefever> Hey not to big of a problem, but just a little bothersome. There are usually Three orange clear boxes in the bottom right hand corner of the desktop, but today when I logged in I noticed they were gone, and I have no idea why. All I really want to know is how to get them back. I just changed my login yesterday, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
[04:49] <shcherbak> mandriva_: is it server suse?
[04:49] <sarah1> WELL THAT WAS SIMPLE
[04:49] <sarah1> dang
[04:49] <sarah1> thanks all
[04:49] <mae_tae> people, i want to find pattern of one string of other string? how will i do that?
[04:49] <FloodBot2> sarah1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:49] <punkmexic> how can i make ubunt tu print me a .txt with the contents of a folder (using special characters (like ñ ´´´) im using this ls -R > listadearchivos.txt
[04:50] <sarah1> k thanks
[04:50] <arox> Trying to update to ubuntu netbook but it looks like xubuntu is still there.
[04:50] <shcherbak> mae_tae: cat string | grep pattent1 | grep pattern2?
[04:50] <mae_tae> something like grep -i "www.youtube.com/..*" "www.youtube.com/jtdel#/p/8/sdsd
[04:50] <syslq> arox: fcourse, you need to remove it
[04:51] <mae_tae> shcherbak, grep -i "www.youtube.com/..*" "www.youtube.com/jtdel#/p/8/sdsd
[04:52] <sacarlson> IdleOne: that's cool nautilus trick I didn't know that <ctl>+h  I didn't know that,  I was doing it the hard way,  thanks
[04:52] <arox> What's the command for that?
[04:52] <mae_tae> shcherbak, how will i do it if apply it to what im trying to do
[04:53] <J_C> does anyone know if it is possible to force an http install using a local mirror instead of one tof the official mirrors?
[04:53] <mandriva_> shcherbak: it's desktop edition
[04:53] <valke2> hi. need some help, comp had a power fail while in the middle of a copy/paste transfer. all my files i was transferring are gone. what do i do?
[04:53] <shcherbak> mae_tae: not sure what you want to do.
[04:54] <mae_tae> shcherbak, i mean how will that pattern works on a particular url, thats what im trying to do
[04:54] <CarlFK> J_C: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/squid-deb-proxy  that what you want?
[04:54] <punkmexic> how can i make ubunt tu print me a .txt with the contents of a folder (using special characters (like ñ ´´´) im using this ls -R > listadearchivos.txt i also want to include hidden files printed
[04:54] <shcherbak> mandriva_: I guess it will do. i586 is Xeon (just checked)
[04:54] <sacarlson> J_C: I'm not sure about force but you can have a local cache on your lan and I guess if you don't give wan access I guess that might work
[04:55] <CarlFK> J_C: you will need to do one install to warm up the cache, but then the next will be from the local copy.  but it will still want to check time stamps to make sure the .deb files are up to date
[04:55] <mae_tae> shcherbak, example this pattern www.youtube.com/jtdel..* really works on www.youtube.com/jtdel#8/p/uasdfasf example
[04:55] <tushar> can any 1 tell me how to use yahoo messenger on ubuntu
[04:55] <J_C> Not really. I have a server on a private network that I'm using apt-mirror to populate. What I'm trying to do is use that mirror for the complete installation. It will initially start there, but after the apt-setup takes place it continues with official mirrors instead of mine
[04:56] <valke2> tushar, open your messenger program?
[04:56] <celthunder> tushar, pidgin or empathy?
[04:56] <vasyl> I dont know if I am asking in the right channel or not, but I was wondering if I have samba installed on a box that is the DMZ on my router, and I set hosts allow 192.168.1.0/24 will it secure it from the internet or not? cause when I scan ports it still shows port 139 and 445 open (I mean when I scan it from outside my network)
[04:56] <J_C> I can get this to work with CentOS and Fedora, but not Ubuntu
[04:56] <shcherbak> mae_tae: www.youtube.com/jtdel - will work, but what is source for grep?
[04:56] <tushar> well can we use yahoo in it
[04:56] <CarlFK> J_C: check out http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/squid-deb-proxy  I use it, love it.
[04:56] <valke2> tushar, yes
[04:57] <jrmcm> tushar: you can use pidgin IM it supports all the major Instant messengers
[04:57] <sacarlson> J_C: what if you take out all repositories except your local cache?  would it still check?
[04:57] <eman2> pksadiq: it turns out the problem was that i had my hard drive connected to a gsata port instead of regular sata. gsata is a special feature on gigabyte motherboards.
[04:57]  * valke2 sighs
[04:57] <SuperPaco69> what netbios name you put?
[04:57] <KM0201> tushar: empathy should be in application/internet... you can use it for yahoo.. but it sucks.. i'd use Pidgin
[04:57] <CarlFK> J_C: mainly because it has a client that uses avahi to flip between the proxy and the normal repos, so laptops don't freak out when you take them away from the lan
[04:57] <tushar> but how to use webcam chatting application
[04:58] <pksadiq> eman2: and so it was really a hardware based problem,
[04:58] <J_C> CarlFK: Thanks, I'll look at it. Right now I've tested Ubuntu about 5 or 6 times and it never goes to my local mirror
[04:58] <CarlFK> J_C: for the install you have to specify the proxy - the installer does not use avahi.
[04:58] <mae_tae> shcherbak, ok, because what im trying to do is just to prove or validate that regular expression if that really works on a particular similar url
[04:59] <tushar> how to use webcam chatting application on messenger
[04:59] <shcherbak> mae_tae: one sec
[04:59] <CarlFK> J_C: er... yeah, and my late_install script then removes that setting so that the avahi thing works... just a sec...
[04:59] <mae_tae> shcherbak, this should be the source www.youtube.com/jtdel#8/p/uasdfasf
[04:59] <eman2> pksadiq: kinda. it shouldn't have mattered either way, because it was just a sata port with special features for RAID or something.
[04:59] <valke2> any ideas how to recover lost cut/paste files after a power fail?
[05:00] <tushar> hi its tushar
[05:00] <CarlFK> J_C: sed -i "/^Acquire::http::Proxy/s/^.*$//" $TARGET/etc/apt/apt.conf
[05:00] <tushar> i want some help
[05:00] <mae_tae> shcherbak, and this be the pattern www.youtube.com/jtdel..*, to be tested
[05:00] <shcherbak> mae_tae: cat XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX | grep -Eiorh '((abuse|Abuse)+@[[:alnum:]_]+?\.[[:alpha:].]{2,6})'
[05:00] <CarlFK> J_C: that is the complicted way of blank out the file :)
[05:00] <xud477> ubuntu wrx vs bt4
[05:01] <pksadiq> eman2: I haven't yet heard of gsata
[05:01] <valke2> tushar, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340795
[05:01] <J_C> I'm using LinuxCOE right now. I like it and it fits the bill for my requirements, i.e. Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian, but for some reason the Debian installs revert to the official mirrors while the rpm based ones do not, they will stay with the initial local mirror
[05:01] <valke2> tushar, btw, demanding help is poor etiquitte
[05:01] <shcherbak> mae_tae: ^^ that i use to find email in whois output -- abuse@whatever.somehere
[05:01] <J_C> The LAN has access to both the local and outside world
[05:02] <KM0201> there's a repository out there somewhere, that has the latest gyachi in it...
[05:02] <mae_tae> shcherbak, thanks, ah ok,. thank you ill try it
[05:02] <xud477> and for medibuntu?
[05:02] <alex__c2022> Anyone here have a good way to transfer videos to from ubuntu box to jailbroken iphone?
[05:02] <xud477> thrz some change
[05:03] <eman2> pksadiq: stands for Gigabyte sata . according to my install manual, they are 6 Gb/s instead of 3 Gb/s. They are just faster i guess
[05:03] <xud477> iphone was just done to be jailbreaked
[05:04] <valke2> if anyone might have any assistance available for a cut/paste fail, it'd be wonderful. please and thanks.
[05:04] <mae_tae> shcherbak, can you give me a very simple example like cat "hello" | grep -i "h*", because the example of mine returns an error no such file or directory
[05:05] <xud477> use tcsh
[05:05] <tushar> any indian here to help on ubuntu
[05:05] <xud477> or another ¦
[05:05] <J_C> CarlFK: Unfortunately my experience with avahi is minimal, as well as debian based installs. My primary experience has been rpm based distros, not Ubuntu/Debian
[05:05] <iszak> mae_tae, use echo "hello" |
[05:05] <CarlFK> J_C: sigh.... oh yeah, read over the bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squid-deb-proxy  mainly that the default .conf doesn't have as many repos as you would hope.
[05:05] <pksadiq> tushar: Why do you need indians only?
[05:05] <mae_tae> shcherbak,  cat "www.youtube.com/jtdel#8/p/u/asdfsfasf" grep -i "www.youtube.com/jtdel..*"
[05:05] <J_C> I'm not really sure when or how to run that apt sed routine you just mentioned
[05:05] <CarlFK> J_C: no experience necessary - it just works(tm) :)
[05:06] <PKKid> Where does Ubuntu keep the Application Menu items on disk?
[05:06] <shcherbak> mae_tae: echo Hello | grep -i "h"
[05:06] <PKKid> My googling is failing me on this one. :(
[05:06] <valke2> pkkid, are you trying to build a shortcut?
[05:07] <pksadiq> eman2: I don't usually care about the difference in 3-6Gbps, but I'm happy if I get a constant speed of 40kbps for my internet
[05:07] <J_C> CarlFK: I'll check out squiid-proxy, but will it handle or get in the way of the other installs (Redhat, etc)?
[05:07] <shcherbak> mae_tae: sorry, my bad. cat - screen file , echo - dispaly
[05:07] <CarlFK> J_C: not at all.
[05:07] <PKKid> valke2, Im trying to remove entries to something that gnome-do is picking up (im getting 3 entries for 1 application)
[05:07] <xud477> i get pee, bye
[05:07] <mae_tae> shcherbak, got it, hehehe, thanks
[05:07] <CarlFK> J_C: you have to tell apt to use it.  (either by setting a config, or installing squid-deb-proxy-client)
[05:07] <valke2> pkkid, oh okay. uno momento.
[05:08] <Nazaryn> It is 20F outside, 64F (according to thermo), yet it is freezing right here. Sensors indicate that internal temperate of the case is 38C (100F). Should I just open the side of my case and let it rip?
[05:08] <PKKid> And I deleted them from my Application menu, but im guessing they are stored someplace more general than my home dir
[05:08] <shcherbak> echo "www.youtube.com/jtdel#8/p/u/asdfsfasf" | grep -i "www.youtube.com/jtdel" -- correct one
[05:08] <Nazaryn> Or would opening side of the case disrupt airflow
[05:08] <shcherbak> mae_tae: ^^
[05:08] <eman2> pksadiq: this is the first time i built my own computer, so i wasn't even aware of these different speeds until a couple minutes ago when i checked the manual
[05:09] <shcherbak> mae_tae: also | is called pipe, and is somehow important
[05:09] <mae_tae> shcherbak, i see, ok, heheh, ill apply it
[05:09] <iszak> eman2, you probably won't get 6 GB/s
[05:09] <J_C> CarlFK: Of course I'll check it out, but how do I tell apt to use it in the middle of the install? These are basically hands-off installations, kinda like a sif file with MS
[05:10] <valke2> pkkid, question, how were they installed? wine, apt-get, aptitude, deb, etc?
[05:10] <pksadiq> eman2: did you assembled your own? how much did you reduced the cost by doing so? here, I get not more than 20$
[05:10] <eman2> iszak: don't care, i'm just happy my HD is recognized :)
[05:10] <PKKid> valke2, I installed it via their .sh installer
[05:10] <shcherbak> mae_tae: try this: ls -l ~ | grep "D"
[05:10] <PKKid> I found one entry at /usr/share/applications/... I just need to find the one other one. :)
[05:10] <J_C> CarlFK: I don't mean to bug you, I'll read up on it first to see if it fits my requirements
[05:10] <CarlFK> J_C: I use a preseed file with: d-i mirror/http/proxy string http://g2:8000/
[05:11] <pksadiq> iszak: that is Gbps and not GBps, b=bit B=byte
[05:11] <sacarlson> J_C: I've setup a local cache before but it would still get other stuff off the internet,  I think I just setup my configs so it tried to find it in my local first and if not found there start looking on the wan repositories
[05:11] <PKKid> I don't think it matters, but Komodo is installed at /opt/komodo-edit-6/...
[05:11] <eman2> pksadiq: i saved a lot of money, but that's because i got a good cpu and a gtx 460 graphics card. those are expensive when prebuilt
[05:11] <shcherbak> PKKid: is it antyvir?
[05:11] <J_C> CarlFK: Thanks, I'll have to defintely read up more on how the preseed works.
[05:11] <CarlFK> J_C: no prob - im happy to help someone set this up.  I am looking for my wiki page on it...
[05:11] <PKKid> shcherbak, huh?
[05:12] <shcherbak> PKKid: comodo what is it?
[05:12] <shcherbak> *komodo*
[05:12] <PKKid> shcherbak, Its an IDE
[05:12] <mae_tae> shcherbak, ok, hehe, its good, is this possible to like ban www.youtube.com but allow www.youtube.com/watch=...etc in squid?
[05:12] <valke2> pkkid, more than likely there is an uninstall .sh script for it/them.
[05:13] <PKKid> shcherbak, but it installs these little Application menu turds all over, and other programs are getting duplicate entries
[05:13] <iszak> pksadiq, cool story bro
[05:13] <J_C> The situation is that I'm in a fairly wide org with only one linux admin... me. And others want to be able to install for our users but they are not overly familiar with general linus installs.
[05:13] <pksadiq> eman2: and learnt many more ;), if you don't care talking more, you may carry on, but through private chat, this is just off topic
[05:13] <valke2> pkkid, google the name of the program and "uninstall script" or similar.
[05:13] <PKKid> where else are menu items stored besides /usr/share/applications?
[05:13] <J_C> So what I'm doing is creating a "one stop shop"
[05:13] <CarlFK> J_C: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet#Advanced:%20Hands-Off,%20Preseeded%20Network%20Server%20Install  very old, so the exact .conf has changed, but thats all the parts you need.  ping me when something isn't working
[05:14] <shcherbak> mae_tae: i think in squid you can just whitelist, not sure how it works with single youtube pages.
[05:14] <valke2> ?
[05:15] <J_C> CarlFK: Thanks for that... I've read some of the other preseed stuff on debian, but haven't run into this one... this will help
[05:15] <mae_tae> shcherbak, thats why im very confuse about of how do it
[05:15] <mae_tae> hehe
[05:15] <valke2> oy did this thing die?
[05:15] <yttrium> I just installed ubuntu on my Eee PC and I'm having some trouble with video.
[05:15] <yttrium> Does anyone know if there are vendor specific drivers?
[05:15] <KM0201> yttrium: probably not... video for what, webcam?
[05:15] <J_C> CarlFK: Are you familiar with Linuxcoe, http://instalinux.com ??
[05:16] <valke2> i just deleted a crap load of stuff i think. help?
[05:16] <yttrium> VLC is just running choppy
[05:16] <J_C> That is what I'm using, locally
[05:16] <KM0201> yttrium: does your netbook have a SSD?
[05:16] <PKKid> found it ~/.local/shares/applications/
[05:16] <J_C> There are some lockdowns we have to perform after install, and linuxcoe gives me that capability
[05:16] <valke2> yay for pkkid!
[05:16] <sacarlson> yttrium: did you check System>admin>hardware drivers ?
[05:16] <PKKid> interesting that grep doesn't search hidden directories.. :-/
[05:16] <yttrium> Nope, regular 250 gb hard drive
[05:17] <sprung> I want to replace the ubuntu logo in the top left of the screen with a logo of my choosing. how do i do that?
[05:17] <CarlFK> J_C: never seen it.  now that I have the pxe install working I don't have to mess with CDs, which is really nice.
[05:17] <yttrium> I did try "Additional Drivers" but nothing came up
[05:17] <yttrium> I wasn't sure if there was another place to look
[05:18] <ylmfos> asdsaskjd
[05:18] <valke2> what should one do if they cut, but did not sucessfully paste and was forced to reboot?
[05:18] <iszak> pksadiq, do you think most hard drives can read/write at ~380 MB/s?
[05:18] <ylmfos> 能说汉语么？
[05:18] <sacarlson> yttrium: if not seen at above then you could check and see what it has in it work lspci and google or ask here what is availble for it
[05:18] <maco> !cn | ylmfos
[05:18] <J_C> Unfortunately I do not have the option of pxe
[05:19] <J_C> otherwise that is what I would be doing. I have no control over DNS or DHCP in my org
[05:19] <sacarlson> J_C: you can also boot pxe with a live cd that just enable pxe boot
[05:19] <valke2> pkkid, how were you able to search hidden dirs?
[05:20] <Colin-shzsc> ylmfos: It‘s not #ubuntu-cn here
[05:20] <J_C> Yes, but I cannot do that at work, I have no ability to set that up. MS Admins control all that
[05:20] <shcherbak> mae_tae: hm...
[05:20] <CarlFK> J_C:  I think you can use etherboot to hard code in the tftp server and file name to boot.
[05:20] <ylmfos> can you speak chinese?
[05:20] <pksadiq> iszak: never, Why should I?, but it has the capability to do so, the metal wires, the small circuit problems, nearby interferences etc decreases the speed
[05:20] <Colin-shzsc> ylmfos: 这里不是中文 irc，中文请加入 #ubuntu-cn
[05:21] <iszak> pksadiq, so really it doesn't matter that much.
[05:21] <pksadiq> iszak: yes, it
[05:21] <J_C> CarlFK: I hadn't thought of that... but I'll have to check if I'm allowed to run a tftp server. We are in a heavily locked-down environment... think wikileaks :-)
[05:21] <sacarlson> J_C: well any machine can be configured to be dns and dhcp but you would have to pull your system off your works network to enable it to operate
[05:21] <gbear14275> I'm having video playback issues with a x264 1080p video and I don't think there should be any issues as this laptop has a discrete video card.  Not sure what to do but have been trying a lot of different paths to get this playing smooth... am hoping someone here might be able to help.  Tried Totem, VLC and Mplayer including looking into trying to enable vdpau hardware acceleration
[05:21] <CarlFK> J_C: the advantage would be the boot media (cd, usb, floppy?) would not change, and you could update the files on the tftp serer.  ah.. that's the problem.  right.
[05:22] <gbear14275> oops... no one is going to read that... too long :(
[05:22] <CarlFK> sacarlson: i have friends in .gov - it isn't a technical problem ;/
[05:22] <J_C> sacarlson: true, and I cannot do that as I have to serve at least 6 different network blocks
[05:22] <valke2> gbear...miro?
[05:22] <pksadiq> iszak: sorry, I meant that It's applicable for those who uses Optic Cables inside their computers, ;)
[05:22] <Kudo> hi every1, im newbie with ubuntu and i wanna ask if i can add backtrack repo to ubuntu
[05:22] <mmcthrow> Hello.  I have a question regarding core dumps in Ubuntu.  Where do I find core dump files?  I configured /etc/security/limits.conf, and the program that I am debugging does dump core, but I cannot find the core dump anywhere.
[05:22] <DrDamnit> I have a server with a CPU overheat problem. It doesn't crash as long as I don't make it do intensive stuff like zip 7GB of files. I need to replace the motherboard. Can I drop in a replacement without having to reinstall the whole OS? It is running  9.10 server.
[05:22] <sprung> how do i change the wallpaper i see before I log in?
[05:23] <J_C> CarlFK: you got it... there are "requirements"
[05:23] <tilted_mind> sprung:  try ubuntu-tweak
[05:23] <J_C> specifically security issues
[05:23] <sprung> oh i didnt know i could do that through tweak
[05:23] <CarlFK> mmcthrow: /var/ something.  but are you sure it is dumping?  there is something else that need to be set.
[05:23] <sprung> im familiar with tweak i will look for it
[05:23] <valke2> i cut docs and pasted them to my thumb drive, but my laptop shut off due to a powerfailure. any way to recover the files?
[05:23] <gbear14275> valke2: I could try another player... but am wondering if there is anything wrong with video playback in 10.10
[05:24] <gbear14275> J_C: what are you trying to do?
[05:24] <pksadiq> gbear14275: most works with totem, but for a very few I had to use xine player
[05:24] <mmcthrow> CarlFK: Unfortunately there are no core* files in /var.
[05:24] <PKKid> valke2, "grep -r foo ." instead of "grep foo *"
[05:24] <valke2> not that i can see. i bet someone else has a better idea. did you dl all gstreamer drivers?
[05:24] <mmcthrow> CarlFK: The program does return "Segmentation fault (core dumped)", but I don't know if the dump is really generated.
[05:24] <xud477> u
[05:24] <PKKid> valke2, well i missed the -r in the second example.. but you see what I mean, its . instead of *
[05:24] <CarlFK> mmcthrow: just a sec.. I think I have something that will do that...
[05:25] <CarlFK> mmcthrow: good  - I didnt't get the (core dumpted) untill I enabled whatever i twas I was talking about..
[05:25] <valke2> so thats to search hidden too pkkid? thx.
[05:25] <J_C> gbear14275: Essentially I'm building a primary mirror that is available for local updates and installs of many distros including Scientific Linux, CentOS, Redahat, Ubuntu, and Fedora, depending on the requirements/desires of the user
[05:26] <gbear14275> J_C: pm okay?
[05:26] <PKKid> valke2, yep np.  I just learned this 5 min ago myself. ;)
[05:26] <J_C> We need to control specifically what updates need to occur
[05:26] <valke2> pkkid, awesome. thanks for passing along your new found knowledge.
[05:26] <J_C> gbear14275: no sweat
[05:26] <CarlFK> mmcthrow: *** buffer overflow detected ***: tftp terminated - yay!  now to enable dumps...
[05:27] <valke2> does ubuntu have a clipboard for when cut command is used?
[05:27] <xud477> yes
[05:27] <Flynsarmy> I've installed SSH server with tasksel but telnet localhost 23 still shows there's no server running ont he port. sudo service ssh restart shows 'ssh start/running, process 14935' so no issues there...any ideas?
[05:28] <sacarlson> Flynsarmy: I think ssh is on a different port than telnet
[05:28] <valke2> xud477, so after a reboot is it dumped?
[05:29] <xud477> reboot of ssh ?
[05:29] <shcherbak> valke2: cut/copy keep just last entry, but there is some choice to extend it
[05:29] <xud477> not at all...
[05:29] <dnivra> Flynsarmy, ssh runs on port 22. just type 'ssh localhost'
[05:29] <xud477> yes
[05:29] <xud477> wath's wrong?
[05:29] <dnivra> Flynsarmy, or rather the correct syntax is 'ssh <username>@localhost'
[05:29] <xud477> yep
[05:29] <Flynsarmy> dnivra: haha yea i just realized that. i'm such a tool :) thanks heh
[05:30] <valke2> scherbak, oh crap. cut/paste gone horribly wrong. power failure in the middle of a transfer, not completed. everything is gone
[05:30] <dnivra> Flynsarmy, no problem :).
[05:30] <shcherbak> Flynsarmy: ssh 127.0.0.1, firewall?
[05:30] <glcat> f
[05:30] <Bluefever> Hey not to big of a problem, but just a little bothersome. There are usually Three orange clear boxes in the bottom right hand corner of the desktop, but today when I logged in I noticed they were gone, and I have no idea why. All I really want to know is how to get them back. I just changed my login yesterday, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
[05:30] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to set a chroot jail for ssh?
[05:30] <xud477> yes
[05:30] <rigved> hi everyone. i get this error when i try to sign my e-mail using evolution on ubuntu 10.04 - http://paste.ubuntu.com/543880/ i searched and found this - http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-December/032196.html but i cannot locate my gpg.conf file. can anyone tell me what is the name of the gpg.conf file?
[05:31] <sacarlson> Flynsarmy: apparmor ?
[05:31] <valke2> bluefever, right click, and i think it's preferences, so that you can have "workspaces" cause that's what those boxes are.
[05:31] <xud477> i dont like evolution...
[05:31] <xud477> to huge...

[05:32] <DrDamnit> I have a server with a CPU overheat problem. It doesn't crash as long as I don't make it do intensive stuff like zip 7GB of files. I need to replace the motherboard. Can I drop in a replacement without having to reinstall the whole OS? It is running  9.10 server.
[05:32] <sacarlson> DrDamnit: I would think you could
[05:32] <rigved> dnivra: i tried that. but it's still not solving the problem
[05:33] <karthick87> !panels
[05:33] <rigved> xud477: i have thunderbird too. but i want to solve this problem first, then i may consider shifting to it
[05:33]  * valke2 frustrated
[05:33] <dnivra> rigved, well that's the gpg conf file :). i don't use evolution so no clue :).
[05:34] <xud477> ok ;)  ....thbrd more light
[05:34] <sacarlson> DrDamnit: other than turn off any propriatary drivers for video and other stuf it might boot right up
[05:34] <shcherbak> valke2: what have you cut/paste?
[05:35] <rigved> dnivra: if i create a key using a 1024 DSA key instead of the current 2048 DSA key, will that solve the problem
[05:35] <valke2> shcherbak, my thesis and some other docs, all very small, at the most 10mb
[05:35] <rigved> xud477: ok
[05:35] <shcherbak> valke2: you mean files?
[05:35] <xud477> i create always 4096 rsa pair
[05:36] <shcherbak> between drives?
[05:36] <valke2> shcherbak, you bet, all open office docs.
[05:36] <pksadiq> rigved: I got not more tha http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-December/032196.html    , nothing new
[05:36] <dnivra> rigved, i'm not too sure since i've no clue what's the issue's root cause.
[05:36] <valke2> shcherbak, from hd to thumb drive.
[05:36] <CarlFK> mmcthrow: juser@dhcp42:/var/crash/_usr_bin_tftp.1000.crash
[05:36] <shcherbak> valke2: testdisk is first stage, to check both drives
[05:36] <DrDamnit> sacarlson: thanks. I'll try it tomorrow.
[05:37] <valke2> shcherbak, how?
[05:37] <xud477> i have'nt hard disk.... just flash :)
[05:37] <CarlFK> mmcthrow:   to get that I had to do  sudo vim /etc/default/apport;   sudo initctl start apport
[05:37] <mmcthrow> mmcthrow: How were you able to generate the dump?
[05:37] <rigved> xud477: ok. i'll try that. i just thought DSA was more secure.
[05:38] <shcherbak> valke2: you should not use drives to maximize chnces of succes. testdisk is rather simple,
[05:38] <xud477> rsa is good, if you are shure about the random generator...
[05:38] <CarlFK> mmcthrow: was that for me?
[05:38] <wrb123> my dvd drive doesnt seem to read a disc, it is acting as if the last disc i had in there is still there
[05:39] <shcherbak> valke2: seluth-kit more advanced. you can download backtrack4 and run forensic mode, good how to in on ubuntu page.
[05:39] <wrb123> refreshing doesnt seem to change anything
[05:39] <Echo> hello, anyone using avast antivirus on ubuntu?
[05:39] <mmcthrow> CarlFK: Is apport user-specific?
[05:39] <Bluefever> @valke2 I can't get an option for preferences when I right click. Any ideas?
[05:39] <wrb123> and when i try to open the old files it says cannot read from disc of course
[05:39] <Bluefever> I'm running 10.10
[05:39] <mmcthrow> CarlFK: e.g., if one user enables apport, is apport enabled for the entire system or for just that user?
[05:39] <dnivra> Echo, i doubt anyone here even uses an anti-virus :).
[05:39] <glcat> 有没有人说中文
[05:39] <CarlFK> mmcthrow: root enables it, so system wide
[05:39] <CarlFK> mmcthrow: what crashed: I installed natty, then ran tftp shaz  <<< "get pxelinux.cfg/default"
[05:39] <xud477> i'm on bt4 on ubuntu...
[05:39] <rs0832> Echo: linux doesnt normally need an antivirus .. just a firewall
[05:40] <valke2> shcherbak, bad thing about why i was doing it...i don't have internet AT ALL avail on my notebook ii was trying to transfer from. just got new comp today.
[05:40] <shcherbak> valke2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[05:40] <xud477> its realy secure and so much more but less easy to use
[05:40] <Echo> how do i get firestarter to run on startup?
[05:40] <mmcthrow> Even with enabling apport, I do not see a core dump.
[05:40] <cew> hai
[05:40] <Echo> rs0832
[05:40] <dnivra> !startup  | Echo
[05:41] <rs0832> Echo: add the command to the 'startup applications' in the system >prefs menu
[05:41] <shcherbak> valke2: well whole idea is to not use notebook until you get files back or be certain that it is not possible.
[05:41] <xud477> but without gnome... on fluxbox and window maker wm
[05:41] <dnivra> okay that's outdated i guess. it's system > preferences -> startup applications Echo
[05:41] <CarlFK> mmcthrow: um...  try asking in #ubuntu-bugs.
[05:41] <wrb123> i think i might try to learn Java and Eclipse... has anyone else done this? was it easy/hard?
[05:41] <Echo> k
[05:41] <mmcthrow> CarlFK: Thank you; I'll check that out.
[05:42] <nirazio> Is it possible to repair windows 7 MBR from ubuntu????
[05:42] <xud477> java with or without eclipse is good...
[05:42] <Sameyeam> I want to reinstall Ubuntu but don't want to dl all the updates since launch. How do I safe them before I reinstall?
[05:42] <tibaal89> wrb123: what languages do you know now?
[05:42] <wrb123> tibaal89 basically C from when i was in college several years ago, and PHP seems boring and too easy because i already know all the basics of it
[05:42] <xud477> MBR .... use dd/linux command 446 or more bytes
[05:42] <rigved> wrb123: java is good and easy. for queries ask in ##programmin
[05:43] <valke2> shcherbak, true. thankfully it's not a failed harddrive or a failed thumb drive. it's just, if the power cord get's juggled, it all dies.
[05:43] <Bluefever> Never mind I got it.
[05:43] <dnivra> Sameyeam, i doubt you can. few of the archives would be stored in /var/cache/apt but the directory gets cleaned periodically. however you can back up all the names of the packages installed currently and restore them easily.
[05:43] <Bluefever> Thanks !
[05:43] <rs0832> nirazio: no you need the windows 7 disc for that
[05:43] <wrb123> tibaal89 and i used VBA at a previous job out of boredom
[05:43] <rigved> wrb123: java is good and easy. for queries ask in ##programming
[05:43] <wrb123> rigved okay thank you
[05:43] <rigved> wrb123: also ##java
[05:43] <xud477> in synaptic you can specify do not clean archives/cache
[05:43] <tibaal89> wrb123: java is very easy to learn the basics... i picked up a book that was great, and it was very easy
[05:43] <wrb123> cool :)
[05:44] <dnivra> xud477, what's the point if it's already cleaned up :)?
[05:44] <wrb123> thanks that's encouraging
[05:44] <shcherbak> valke2: i think, scalpel and foremost will do job
[05:44] <CarlFK> wrb123: python is easier and way more enjoyable. but not as much market.
[05:44] <mister_m> why are my downloads so slow when I do an apt-get upgrade
[05:44] <nirazio> rs0832: But I don't have Win7 DVD at this moment. Any way to do same from Ubuntu?
[05:44] <xud477> its too late, but you can re-install, ... more complicated...
[05:44] <valke2> shcherbak, thanks. i'll see what i can do.
[05:45] <xud477> have to set synaptic at the first install...
[05:45] <dnivra> mister_m, the server could be under a lot of load, your connection may not be fast.
[05:45] <xud477> i can help for win7 or even any else win... years without this sh.....
[05:46] <rs0832> nirazio: i dont think so..
[05:46] <SuperPaco69> how do I install hardware drivers apps??
[05:46] <xud477> try wine on ubuntu or bt4
[05:47] <xud477> same drive as ubuntu... try ubuntu 10.10
[05:47] <wrb123> CarlFK: why more enjoyable?
[05:48] <rs0832> nizario: you can install grub and use it to boot windows i think
[05:49] <xud477> yes
[05:49] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: you mean jockey?
[05:49] <shcherbak> !jockey > shcherbak
[05:49] <nirazio> rs0832: Can you help me then
[05:50] <rs0832> nizario: i m not experienced with grub.. but ill try
[05:50] <xud477> grub is installed with ubuntu anyway :)
[05:50] <Jordan_U> nirazio: Yes you can, but only the mbr and in some cases pbr. What happened exactly?
[05:50] <wrb123> cases of pbr? mmm
[05:50] <xud477> you can loose the "hard garanty"...
[05:51] <xud477> so keep before de MBR in carry file...
[05:51] <xud477> this is palladium effect...

[05:57] <glcat> Ex-Chat
[05:57] <mister_m> can I get a list of processes that are communicating over the internet?
[05:57] <dnivra> mister_m, i guess you're looking for netstat.
[05:57] <glcat> Away
[05:58] <bluebird> oh, i'm sorry. but it's too cold.
[05:58] <xud477> netstat -anpvlt
[05:58] <dnivra> bluebird, that's no reason to swear. my internet usage's almost done. doesn't mean i swear :).
[05:58] <mister_m> how can I paste into the terminal without right clicking and selecting paste
[05:58] <wrb123> it's so cold my case temperature is 18 C
[05:59] <IdleOne> mister_m: ctrl-shift-v
[05:59] <mister_m> thanks guys
[05:59] <xud477> with the mouse...????
[05:59] <xud477> yes col..... it frozen snow here
[05:59] <SuperPaco69> how do I install hardware drivers apps the ubuntu server does not come with it
[06:00] <xud477> apt-get install ...
[06:00] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers might help.
[06:00] <xud477> using ssh connection
[06:00] <mister_m> If I create an alias, will it be there the next time I start my computer?
[06:00] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, is not there in the server I need the coomand
[06:01] <dnivra> mister_m, if you add it to '~/.bashrc' yeah i guess so.
[06:01] <cquaid> mister_m: yes and no
[06:01] <xud477> alias or link? ... a do not know "aLIAS" ON LINUX
[06:01] <cquaid> lol
[06:01] <dnivra> xud477, alias for few commands commonly used. that's possible.
[06:01] <mister_m> why yes and no
[06:01] <rww> xud477: type 'help alias'
[06:01] <xud477> aaaahh ok alias on tcshrc or others....
[06:01] <cquaid> mister_m: there's also a command called netstat
[06:01] <pksadiq> mister_m: CRTL + SHIFT + V
[06:01] <wrb123> i need to find a tutorial that goes over all the things about linux im not familiar with coming from windows, like the various folders, shortcuts, what rc is reference to in bashrc, etc.
[06:01] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, not there in the server? you might want to go to the site of the hardware and search then.
[06:01] <xud477> aproposalias ;9 ok... just hqave forget it
[06:02] <pksadiq> mister_m: sorry, I missed IdleOne
[06:02] <cquaid> netstat -t   (for tcp connections) and netstat -u  (for udp connections?)
[06:02] <SuperPaco69> dniva... is not there
[06:02] <xud477> netstat -anpvlt -------done all service working or waiting
[06:03] <xud477> ...socket open... etc.
[06:03] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, what site???
[06:04] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, you're trying to install a driver for some hardware right? the site of the manufacturer of the hardware.
[06:04] <cquaid> xud477: wow: -vtplan
[06:04] <cquaid> (very trendy)
[06:05] <fanzhen> does anyone here build android os  on ubuntu10?
[06:05] <cquaid> no no -tvplan
[06:05] <rigved> wrb123: there are quite a few places that you can bookmark - http://beginlinux.com/ https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/keeping-safe/C/index.html http://ucasts.tv/
[06:05] <xud477> lol
[06:05] <xud477> same switch...
[06:06] <dnivra> !manual | wrb123
[06:06] <cquaid> xud477: likes to see 'everything'
[06:06] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, yes
[06:06] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, so head to the manufacturer's site and you'll find the linux driver mostly.
[06:06] <xud477> not everithing, but netstat for net.services
[06:07] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, but is there ???
[06:07] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, search for it. i don't know :).
[06:07] <infid> how come sometimes i can use -f to overwrite an existing symlink and othertimes it doesn't change it?
[06:07] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, but is there a way to install a hardware driver app??
[06:07] <wrb123> thanks rigved and dnivra
[06:08] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, a hardware driver app?
[06:08] <xud477> actualy i just have...
[06:08] <xud477> Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

[06:08] <wrb123> does anyone know if there's a program for linux that will allow me to "securely delete" a file once it goes to the recycle bin, or just with a right-click option, writing 0s or random data where the file was?
[06:08] <dnivra> !paste | xud477
[06:08] <xud477> 8125 is the pid...
[06:08] <cquaid> its called shred wrb123
[06:09] <xud477> ok
[06:09] <Jordan_U> infid: What is the exact command you're running?
[06:09] <cquaid> there's a nautilus script for it too - so you can right-click - goto nautiluscripts
[06:10] <xud477> nautilus script or command in console/terminal
[06:11] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, yes... the app in Ubuntu that install drivers
[06:11] <SuperPaco69> jockey-gtk
[06:11] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, yeah jockey-gtk what about it?
[06:11] <infid> Jordan_U: ln -s ../test/foo foo -f
[06:11] <fanzhen> hey guys ,what games  do you play on ubuntu?
[06:11] <SuperPaco69> how can Iinstall it to my server dnivra ??
[06:12] <infid> fanzhen: sudoku
[06:12] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, you're running ubuntu server? jockey-gtk has a gui while server edition doesn't. i'm not familiar with the CLI version of jockey-gtk.
[06:12] <fanzhen> could it play with others on line?
[06:13] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, I have a GUI on the server... how can I install jockey-gtk     by apt-get install??
[06:13] <xud477> linux is not made realy good for games.. but... gnome have a set and X11R6, and others...
[06:13] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, yeah i guess so.
[06:13] <SuperPaco69> ok
[06:13] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, thanks!
[06:14] <fanzhen> infid: i will search it
[06:14] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, sorry i didn't get what you meant :). no problem.
[06:14] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, and why do you have a GUI on the server edition?
[06:14] <Gnea> !flash
[06:14] <cquaid> games lol americas army
[06:14] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, because i need several graphical apps there like VM
[06:15] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, i thought a server was meant to be CLI only. oh well!
[06:15] <xud477> ubuntu is modular... server + de4sktop + studio + all you want free on llinux...
[06:15] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, ofcourse not why you think that lol!
[06:15] <xud477> but for the games... its ppoor
[06:15] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, GUI does take a lot of RAM and other resources a server could save on.
[06:16] <SuperPaco69> a server has a lot of ram dnivra !!
[06:16] <sacarlson> SuperPaco69: you might be able to use jockey-text as I have seen in this post http://superuser.com/questions/40017/jockey-gtk-on-startup
[06:16] <cquaid> there are some games
[06:16] <SuperPaco69> so just by apt-get install sacarlson ??
[06:16] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, i know above 6GB for sure. but server's are under a lot of load right?
[06:17] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, there are a lot of types of servers right??
[06:17] <xud477> search game on synaptic or apt-cache search ...
[06:17] <sacarlson> SuperPaco69: example? jockey-text -e firmware:b43
[06:17] <dnivra> SuperPaco69, i'm no server expert :). i'm just a regular desktop edition user :). still i guess yeah-cloud server, farms and stuff exist.
[06:18] <xud477> i dont know games anyway...
[06:18] <Nazaryn> Wow guys, Docky is fantastic; and one of the panel apps allows me to set stepping on my laptop to scale processor clock and control battery usage! Amazing!
[06:18] <wrb123> my computer fan is too loud :(
[06:18] <SuperPaco69> sacarlson thanks!!!
[06:18] <cquaid> xud477: would wolfenstein and america's army and wesnoth be on synaptic??
[06:18] <cquaid> that's great service man"
[06:18] <dnivra> cquaid, wesnoth is i believe
[06:18] <rs0832> wrb123: try cleaning it... dust does that
[06:18] <fanzhen> like this one
[06:18] <fanzhen> wesnoth
[06:18] <fanzhen> have installed it
[06:19] <dnivra> !info wesnoth | cquaid
[06:19] <xud477> install a desktop, and after that the server edition... like xubuntu and ubuntustudio... it worx
[06:19] <SuperPaco69> dnivra, you are right
[06:19] <SuperPaco69> sacarlson, thanks a lot!!!
[06:19] <wrb123> rs0832 it's a brand new 99-cent fan so maybe it is just loud :D
[06:19] <rs0832> wrb123: :)
[06:20] <cquaid> I googled "top games for linux" and found a great page one time, and in the comments they were naming heaps of other ones they said were cool
[06:20] <xud477> cquaid -- i do not know games and i'm actualy not on a pure ubuntu machine...
[06:20] <rs0832> cquaid: if you like rts then warzone 2100
[06:21] <efix> i'm gonna wait another 5years till i play serious v-games on linux...
[06:21] <xud477> yes exist games but have to install without synapptic some times
[06:22] <efix> seriously they all look like 5yrs old games...
[06:22] <marvin_> i use  visual boy advance for games
[06:22] <cquaid> I say donate to crossover for the futre of linux!
[06:22] <efix> i'm game :)
[06:23] <cquaid> lol, does linux really have a futre?
[06:23] <klowny> valve denies claims for linux compat! yay!
[06:24] <xud477> yes, for nuclear central :) or NASA or CERN or ...
[06:24] <sacarlson> cquaid: if man has a future then so does linux
[06:24] <Chakravanti> cquaid, megaglest>wz2100 for rts
[06:25] <Chakravanti> speaking of the future of open source though.... http://www.osnews.com/comments/24136

[06:25] <cquaid> (lol I was just joking about the typo) ( I believe in linux to the fullest)
[06:25] <cquaid> ouch"
[06:25] <xud477> yes sacarlson :)
[06:26] <redgetan> i can't booting into my ubuntu (dual boot via wubi): message says "Try hda(0,0) FAT16: No wubildr, Try hda(0,1) NTFS5: "
[06:26] <rww> !ot
[06:26] <Echo_> does anyone know the alternative to dreamweaver?
[06:26] <xud477> i have also 1.4 G backdoor of the file insurance.aes256 of Assange... ;)
[06:27] <cquaid> Chakravanti: that is insane
[06:27] <marvin_> is it normal to have problems with java in ubuntu?
[06:28] <xud477> marvin... not at all... java worx on ubuntu, with or withoout eclipse...
[06:28] <efix> Echo_: net beans, blue fish, Quanta...
[06:28] <xud477> you have also netbeans... or gedit / console
[06:28] <Echo_> efix which do you prefer?
[06:29] <marvin_> i keep on getting errors on loading files
[06:29] <xud477> me i prefer gedit and console... buti'm oldman...
[06:29] <maclin> anyone running 10.10 on a Macbook Pro early 2008 (bare metal, not in a vm)?
[06:29] <maclin> how compatible is it?
[06:30] <efix> i use gedit ;)
[06:30] <mister_m> I have a .sh file that starts a game. How can I get it to appear in my Applications>Games menu?
[06:30] <Echo_> lol xud477 im not so young either :)
[06:30] <Chakravanti> Echo_, no, but it IS common to have problems with IcedTea.  I still have no clue why they put IcedTea in 'restricted extras' since it isn't restricted.  But you know this?
[06:30] <xud477> i  d not use macintosh since a long time for ubuntu... DRM and so obfuscated things...
[06:30] <Chakravanti> You have to enable partner repos, uninstall IcedTea and install Sun Java
[06:30] <xud477> echo_ --- lol :)
[06:31] <xud477> sun java yes... (oracle... hum saled)
[06:31] <Echo_> nah dont know much im a noob to linux but after looking at the screenshots pretty sure i can adapt
[06:32] <xud477> i'm shure too
[06:32] <chandru_in> I use acidrip to rip DVDs for backup.  I find that mencoder is skipping a lot of frames when I see the debug log.  Is there a way to avoid this?
[06:32] <Chakravanti> Echo_, then your problems with java are likely actually with iced tea, install ACTUAL java and your problems should disapear
[06:32] <Jordan_U> Chakravanti: I would guess that it's because people were used to java being installed when they installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, so when they decided to prefer IcedTea over Sun Java they didn't remove "installing java" as part of the task of installing restricted-extras.
[06:32] <marvin_> megamek gives me this         Could not initialise:
[06:32] <marvin_> java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
[06:32] <xud477> acidrip work very well, and install also handbrake :)
[06:32] <Chakravanti> Jordan_U, yeah, it's rather asinine imho
[06:32] <Echo_> kool
[06:33] <Chakravanti> but a minor thing considering how awesome ubuntu is =)
[06:33] <chandru_in> xud477, The problem is acid rip (mencoder rather) dropping a lot of frames during conversion.
[06:33] <xud477> marvin_ ... seem just a story of CLASSPATH...
[06:34] <xud477> yes chandru_in or use dvdcpy and cat the .VOB piped in ffmpeg...
[06:34] <xud477> sometimes one sometimes the other one...
[06:35] <marvin_> yea but something similar happens with arduino
[06:35] <Echo_> im putting my 2 cents in devede worked for me ..
[06:36] <chandru_in> ok thanks xud477.  but what could be causing the frame skips?
[06:38] <xud477> industrials....
[06:38] <xud477> in this case i use handbrake in local for .mkv or m4v and after that a ffmpeg
[06:41] <xud477> i have to quite, i'm using an unknown wifi and have to install java on bt4/kernel(ubuntu),,.
[06:41] <Echo_> for sho liking bluefish LOL love at first sight hehehe
[06:44] <xud477> thx, c u later :)

[07:02] <rigved> !find seti | Kartagis
[07:02] <jerrybowling> anyone use a wifi mouse or gmote???
[07:02] <rigved> Abhish: you are welcome
[07:04] <rww> Kartagis: install the 'boinc-manager' package, then open Boinc Manager and attach to the SETI@home project. It'll download the app itself. Using the one in the repos is probably not the best idea.
[07:05] <rigved> which is better? DSA-E 2048 or RSA 2048?
[07:05] <Abhish> Ok, I registered... but I still get " Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services""""

[07:06] <silv3r_m00n> editor*
[07:06] <silv3r_m00n> ls | kate doesn't work
[07:06] <rigved> Abhish: if you are still getting this error, then ask in #freenode
[07:07] <rigved> silv3r_m00n: ls > kate
[07:07] <silv3r_m00n> doesn't work either
[07:07] <sbeck_> Hm. This could be a serious problem: http://www.osnews.com/story/24136/_FBI_Added_Secret_Backdoors_to_OpenBSD_IPSEC_
[07:08] <rigved> silv3r_m00n: ls > kate.txt
[07:08] <silv3r_m00n> that will create a txt file
[07:08] <rigved> silv3r_m00n: it worked in my terminal
[07:08] <silv3r_m00n> I want to directly open in editor
[07:08] <silv3r_m00n> I want to directly open all output in a text editor for analysis
[07:08] <gobbe> silv3r_m00n: xargs?-)
[07:08] <rigved> silv3r_m00n: okk. sorry i misunderstood your question.
[07:09] <silv3r_m00n> gobbe: how ?
[07:10] <rigved> which is better? DSA-E 2048 or RSA 2048?
[07:10] <rww> rigved: RSA
[07:10] <rigved> rww: ok. thanx
[07:11] <gobbe> silv3r_m00n: so what you are actually doing, listing files with ls or something and opening them in kate?

[07:17] <gobbe> silv3r_m00n: | xargs kate

[07:18] <abe> Hi, I want to install cheese from software center. It gives error message that "Requires installation of untrusted packages", how can I install cheese on ubuntu 10.10?
[07:18] <gobbe> rww: well, atleast it does what is asked :)
[07:18] <rww> nope
[07:18] <gobbe> whynot?
[07:18] <silv3r_m00n> git diff master collab/master | xargs kate
[07:18] <silv3r_m00n> kate: Unknown option 'git'.
[07:18] <gobbe> yes
[07:18] <gobbe> the output is not file
[07:18] <rww> silv3r_m00n: ah, 'man kate' reveals the -i argument. try whatever | kate -i
[07:18] <gobbe> there is more in output than just a filename
[07:18] <dena> hi
[07:19] <gobbe> i don't know git
[07:19] <silv3r_m00n> rww: thanks
[07:19] <silv3r_m00n> works good
[07:19] <abe> Hi, I want to install cheese from software center. It gives error message that "Requires installation of untrusted packages", how can I install cheese on ubuntu 10.10? The untrusted package name is "cheese cheese-common libcheese-gtk18"

[07:19] <ubusammyn150> wubi installer download nopt working for me?
[07:21] <Blinkiz> Am looking for a tool that can measure packet drops along a traceroute path. Like a ping plotter. Any suggestions?
[07:21] <rww> Blinkiz: you might find 'mtr' useful. I believe it's installed by default on Ubuntu.
[07:22] <EvilPhoenix> how can I play MP4 files on 10.04.1?
[07:22] <KindOne> try vlc player ?
[07:22] <EvilPhoenix> WITHOUT vlc
[07:22] <EvilPhoenix> it segv's
[07:22] <rww> Blinkiz: (there's a GUI version, but I find the command-line one a lot more useful. Try mtr -t if you get the GUI one when you run it.)
[07:22] <EvilPhoenix> at least on my system
[07:23] <Blinkiz> rww, OMG! It's perfect!
[07:23] <rww> :)
[07:24] <Blinkiz> rww, I have been looking for this for ages!
[07:24] <uiuiui172> I love linux
[07:24] <rww> Blinkiz: if you want to see how things are changing over time, hit the D key (Display mode)
[07:24] <dena> linux like it
[07:25] <uiuiui172> Anyone know how to speed up windows 7 in VMPlayer?
[07:25] <dena> if upgrade linux lose data or no?
[07:26] <rww> dena: Not if it works properly. You should make backups anyway.
[07:26] <Blinkiz> rww, Do you know if mtr can use ICMP ECHO probes also? Like traceroute -I?
[07:26] <dena> ok thanks u very much
[07:27] <rww> Blinkiz: according to the manpage, it uses ICMP ECHO by default. mtr -u replaces that with UDP datagrams.
[07:28] <Pokit> Hey.  I'm having a problem with multitouch.  I'm using 10.10, and when I log in multitouch won't work (sometimes the cursor goes berserk when I have more than 1 finger on the touch pad).  When I lock the screen and come back, it works...
[07:28] <uiuiui172> How would I go about DOSing and crashing my server to test security
[07:29] <ubusammyn150> me not able to download wubi.exe from ubuntu =c
[07:29] <uiuiui172> Let's use big boy language
[07:29] <Pokit> ubusammyn150 what do you mean?  Did you download the iso from the website?
[07:29]  * breadcrumb slaps ubusammyn150 around a bit with a large trout
[07:30] <ubusammyn150> no me use big cave club on you! rawr!
[07:30] <YarrWolfie> anyone have some recomendations to make Wine work for Eve ?  The net says it's possible but I've had zero luck sofar
[07:30] <infid> can i name my samba workgroup anything in smb.cnf? it's currently the default of 'WORKGROUP' yet when i try to mount it it says 'mount error(6): No such device or address'
[07:30] <ubusammyn150> me can not use downloed iso's, my thumb to huge for usb!
[07:31] <ubusammyn150> and flash things
[07:31] <ubusammyn150> prontous breaks them =/
[07:31] <Pokit> Is anyone familiar with using multitouch?  I'm using 10.10, and when I log in multitouch won't work (sometimes the cursor goes berserk when I have more than 1 finger on the touch pad).  When I lock the screen and come back, it works...
[07:31] <Sameyeam> ubusammyn150, calm down!
[07:31] <uiuiui172> Put iso on disk
[07:31] <Pokit> ubusammyn150: do you have a blank cd lying around that you can burn the ISO onto?
[07:31] <Sameyeam> ubusammyn150, take a ice age pill
[07:32] <uiuiui172> Seriously use a disk
[07:32] <Pokit> ^
[07:32] <ubusammyn150> i smashed those round shiny things to pieces! netbook not use cd! last it tried usb-boot was blocked
[07:32] <deww>   infid pretty sure you can.
[07:32] <Pokit> ubusammyn150, ok troll more
[07:33] <ubusammyn150> pokeit poke elsewhere
[07:33] <Pokit> Is anyone here familiar with seeing up multitouch (2 finger scrolling on laptop touchpad) with 10.10?  I'm having problems getting it to work right
[07:34] <ubusammyn150> um
[07:34] <ubusammyn150> use two fingers?
[07:34] <breadcrumb> thats what she said..
[07:34] <ubusammyn150> it has a diagram..
[07:34] <Pokit> hmm.. Looks like the channel has been invaded by children
[07:34] <rww> Everyone quit with the unhelpful comments, please.
[07:35] <Pokit> just mute them
[07:35] <ubusammyn150> rww: seriouly it has a diagram on the mouse spot...
[07:35] <ubusammyn150> two finger scrolling it nice
[07:35] <rww> ubusammyn150: Consider reading the "When helping: be helpful" part of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines
[07:36] <ubusammyn150> =o
[07:36] <ubusammyn150> !o4o|rww
[07:36] <rww> ubusammyn150: What about it?
[07:36] <ubusammyn150> =p
[07:36] <DerSeppel> Hi there! I rebooted a machine yesterday and I suddently cannot login anymore. The ssh session freezes right after successful authentication.
[07:36] <pgpkeys> enough ubusammyn150 quit the crap
[07:37] <spinningcompass> DerSeppel: Is it a netbook?
[07:37] <rww> ubusammyn150: You know where #ubuntu-offtopic is and what our IRC Guidelines are. I shouldn't need to poke you about this ;P
[07:37] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: no, a server.
[07:37] <spinningcompass> DerSeppel: Did you recently update the kernel?
[07:37] <ubusammyn150> i was trying to be a cave man.. it got more attention to my download issue xD
[07:38] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: yes.
[07:38] <rww> ubusammyn150: Attention-seeking behavior isn't a good idea in here.
[07:38] <spinningcompass> DerSeppel: Try adding 'nohz=off' to the command-line params to the kernel & see if that fixes the problem.
[07:38] <Cynderblock> I think Skype forced me to get the new Beta version.. and now its freezing up on me. What can I do?
[07:38] <mister_m> why are my gnome panels visible when I go to play games?
[07:39] <uiuiui172> ubusammyn150: try not to act stupid here
[07:39] <Pokit> mister_m: fullscreen games? or are they in windowed mode
[07:39] <jamezelle> whats up with the EUID's here?
[07:39] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: i cant login via ssh, remember? only thing working is opening a scp connection and then starting a shell from winscp. Its not real ssh shell thoug
[07:40] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: i cant use any editors on that shell
[07:40] <mister_m> Pokit, as far as I know they are fullscreen
[07:40] <infid> where in smb.cnf do you specify a share name?
[07:40] <mister_m> Pokit, can I force them to be something else?
[07:40] <Pokit> mister_m: not sure.  I haven't tried gaming in linux
[07:41] <deww> infid: you'll see it as [share name]
[07:41] <Cynderblock> Is there a way I can fix my skype from freezing up?
[07:41] <mister_m> Pokit, can I hide the gnome panels?
[07:42] <infid> deww i dont see that anywhere in smb.conf
[07:42] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: you were kind of quick with a possible answer, is that a "known problem" ?
[07:43] <Pokit> mister_m: there is an option to auto-hide gnome panels
[07:43] <deww> infid: create it :)
[07:43] <mister_m> Pokit, where?
[07:43] <Pokit> mister_m: right click on panel, go to properties, then click autohide
[07:43] <infid> deww the comments in smb.conf say that the username will be teh name of the share by default but that's not working for me either
[07:43] <spinningcompass> DerSeppel: It is with the right combination of hardware and software. Certain motherboards (esp. those in certain netbooks) don't like the advanced power-saving code in the latest kernels. "nohz=off" disables it, at the expense of power savings.
[07:44] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: its a root machine that has been running a while now. real server hardware.
[07:44] <deww> infid: hmm i am looking at the smb.conf, it looks to be commented out. it's actually quite a bit to read there
[07:45] <Smurfie> Craaaaaaap.
[07:45] <Smurfie> o.o
[07:46] <Pokit> Anyone familiar with using multitouch in 10.10?  When i first login, multitouch will not work (multiple fingers on touchpad makes the cursor go berserk), but if I lock the screen and come back, multitouch magically works!
[07:46] <unRuhe> hey there
[07:46] <infid> deww i'm not seeing anything when i search for 'share name'
[07:46] <xud477> yyep
[07:46] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: the machine is running fine, apart from the login issue. is there a way to verify the issue before addin the kernel parameter?
[07:46] <xud477> i just installed java on bt4/ubuntu kern4l :)
[07:46] <deww> infid: you wont explicitly find the literal "share name"
[07:47] <spinningcompass> DerSeppel: If it's the login issue alone, it's unlikely to be the issue I'm talking about. I've made a mistake.
[07:47] <infid> deww i'm not seeing anything that indicates how i can set a share name
[07:47] <xud477> share name ? in which context ?
[07:47] <infid> samba
[07:48] <spinningcompass> DerSeppel: If it freezes at authentication, could there be a problem w/ file permissions, domain name resolution. ...?
[07:48] <infid> i'm setting up a samba server and need to name a share something, i have the other share options such as path, comment, browseable..
[07:48] <xud477> inode shared physicaly ?
[07:48] <infid> but i need an actual name so i can tell people what to smbmount
[07:48] <evilsee_> Hi, does anyone else have a problem with the skype client silently crashing?
[07:48] <Smurfie> Yes
[07:48] <Smurfie> I do
[07:48] <numberto> Hello everybody. Can anybody advise me a tool to monitor internet traffic on my ubuntu 10.04. I need a tool which will tell me what is connected to internet (skype, mozilla and etc) and tell me how much it downloaded
[07:48] <Smurfie> Or ..am.
[07:48] <deww> infid: ok on top of where you defined all that, put in [infids files]
[07:48] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: file permission problems should be visible in the auth.log dont they?
[07:48] <deww> or something
[07:48] <infid> it's supposed to be their username by default i've read but when they try it it says 'mount error(6) no such device or address'
[07:48] <Smurfie> It keeps freezing.
[07:49] <evilsee_> smurfie: yes
[07:49] <xud477> cp -arl ... ?
[07:49] <spinningcompass> DerSeppel: I would say so. Do you have access to auth.log?
[07:49] <evilsee_> the onlye way I know its broken is when I notice the CPU usage goes up
[07:49] <Smurfie> Any idea how to fix it?... or is there a way?
[07:49] <infid> deww well i already put a label on it called [main share] but that's not the share name right, since it has spaces in it
[07:49] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: yes, as SFTP via ssh2 is working ... strangely
[07:49] <evilsee_> no, I have no idea
[07:49] <infid> that's just a configuration file label for config file parsing
[07:49] <Smurfie> Ah, ok.
[07:50] <evilsee_> I was hoping someone here might have a solution
[07:50] <drygulch> Hello
[07:50] <infid> deww: oh what that actually worked, when i took the spaces out
[07:50] <Smurfie> evilsee_, did Skype force you into the new Beta version?
[07:50] <Smurfie> Because it did with me.. just a few hours ago.
[07:50] <deww> the space should work, but...
[07:51] <infid> thanks deww :)
[07:51] <deww> (looking this up)
[07:51] <evilsee_> no I wasnt forced it anything
[07:51] <infid> went right over my head
[07:51] <evilsee_> I downloaded it a while back
[07:51] <evilsee_> Smurfie what version do you have?
[07:51] <Smurfie> 2.1
[07:51] <unRuhe> I dont get how to format my usbstick, to format i have to umount. but when I umount the display-backlight goes off and /dev/sdc disappears. so i have to remount to make it reappear then i have to umount to format wich makes /dev/sdc disappear si have to remount... argh I'm in a loop here
[07:51] <Smurfie> That's the new Beta version, isn't it?
[07:52] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: i cant see any problems in auth.log, another strange thing is, the sessions are open and kept alive. "who" shows me that there are even sessions left open from yesterday.
[07:52] <FishFace> Dual core processor. Resource center (applet in tool bar) says one of the processors is at 100%. But going directly to the resource center, not much is showing. How can I find out why this 100% is showing?
[07:53] <xud477> im asleep, a++
[07:53] <evilsee_> smurfie: I have 2.1.0.81
[07:54] <Smurfie> Oo.. my thing only says 2.1.. and nothing after that. Weird.
[07:54] <sacarlson> FishFace: try the command top
[07:54] <ServerTechLaptop> I have two ethernet cards. One is inbuilt on the motherboard. Can i disable the inbuilt one?
[07:54] <Smurfie> evilsee_, do you know the command in terminal to reset it?
[07:54] <ejv> help! my login is totally hung, just says "Cancelling..." how do I restart the session without hurting the other currently running gnome-sessions ?
[07:55] <evilsee_> I just normally kill the skype process
[07:55] <sacarlson> ServerTechLaptop: yes go into bios and disable it at preboot
[07:55] <evilsee_> ps aux | grep skype
[07:55] <deww> unRuhe: do this (i just tried it), bring up a terminal, sudo umount /dev/sdc1
[07:55] <evilsee_> then
[07:55] <FishFace> sacarlson: Whoa! apt-get is at 87%. Dont know why.
[07:55] <evilsee_> kill -9 the processid
[07:55] <ServerTechLaptop> sacarlson, ok thanks
[07:55] <evilsee_> there are normally two
[07:55] <unRuhe> deww: thx i try
[07:55] <Smurfie> Yea, I tried that.. a friend who's on skype tells me that it still shows me as 'online'
[07:55] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: name resolution seems to be working too ...
[07:55] <evilsee_> hmm
[07:56] <evilsee_> Im not sure then
[07:56] <ServerTechLaptop> sacarlson, thanks it worked
[07:56] <YiMing> Hi,Is there a way to view server's current date and time,for example:cdimage.ubuntu.com?
[07:56] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: ans since the "unix like" shell from WinSCP is working, i'd say it is a sshd problem ... just dont know where to look at right now ...
[07:56] <infid> deww looks like some people insert \040 for the space
[07:57] <infid> doesnt work for me though
[07:57] <sacarlson> YiMing: try the command date
[07:57] <infid> think thats just for fstab
[07:58] <FishFace> All 'killed'. Thanks :)
[07:58] <YiMing> sacarlson: ok,thanks.
[07:58] <deww> infid: i'm going hunt down my old config, pretty sure i didn't use spaces.
[07:59] <infid> deww: i just swrapped it in quotes and it worked
[07:59] <infid> eg "\\hostname\\share name"
[07:59] <deww> nice
[07:59] <infid> for bash
[07:59] <infid> supposed to use \040 for fstab
[08:00] <DerSeppel> spinningcompass: no idea?
[08:01] <infid> deww, i meant "\\\\hostname\\share name"
[08:02] <An_Ony_Moose> in unetbootin, are the HdMedia ubuntu versions installations that preserve the data even after a unetbootin device has been rebooted?
[08:03] <wrd> infid: '\\hostname\shared_name' makes you less escape insane :)
[08:04] <unRuhe> deww: now in gparted right when I run the formatting. the display light goes off, it says "...calibrating failed" and after that "no such device /dev/sdc" is it that my mp3player-usb-stick just sucks?
[08:04] <YiMing> sacarlson: sorry,but i found date command can only view local date,and i hope to view a remote server's(such as cdimage.ubuntu.com) date.
[08:04] <deww> unRuhe: probably /dev/sdc1 if it's partitioned
[08:05] <unRuhe> deww: it is partitioned currently 1 fat16 partition
[08:05] <Snookie1> i need help with broken packages
[08:06] <wrd> Snookie1: what did you doo?
[08:06] <Pokit> Anyone familiar with using multitouch in 10.10?  When i first login, multitouch will not work (multiple fingers on touchpad makes the cursor go berserk), but if I lock the screen and come back, multitouch magically works!
[08:06] <sacarlson> YiMing: you would have to ssh into the server and use that command to see it from that server
[08:07] <deww> unRuhe: oh i see what you mean. you're using t he nice graphical version of gparted... hmm. it could be a flakey device. got another usb drive you can spare for testing?
[08:07] <YiMing> sacarlson: ok.
[08:07] <maco> Pokit: sounds like a bug
[08:07] <olskolirc> anyone here have mysql?
[08:08] <olskolirc> i can't send to the mysql channel
[08:08] <Snookie1> wrd:  tried to install libiphone, or something around the lines of libmux, then i had the broken packages warning
[08:08] <unRuhe> deww: sure to find one, if it works with the other i just throw this one against the wall. thx very much for your help
[08:08] <lei> what is it?
[08:09] <deww> unRuhe: when you plug in the drive, it shows up in gparted right? (drop down menu). then you select the partition you wanna format and it should say /dev/sdc1
[08:09] <wrd> Snookie1: where did you get that?
[08:09] <Snookie1> wrd: i ran synaptic and deleted the broken package, however that did nothing
[08:09] <wrd> Snookie1: whats your current state ?
[08:09] <Snookie1> wrd: whenever i try installing anything from a synaptic package
[08:09] <Snookie1> wrd: libusbmux0
[08:10] <Snookie1> wrd: still getting that error
[08:11] <Snookie1> wrd: i just got "You have 1 broken package on your system!
[08:11] <Snookie1> Use the "Broken" filter to locate it." after trying to update libusbmux0
[08:11] <wrd> Snookie1: libsubmux0 is not a default package in ubuntu ...
[08:11] <ivanh> ahoj
[08:11] <deww> olskolirc: i know a tiny (tiny) bit about mysql. just a tiny tiny bit. what's up?
[08:12] <Snookie1> wrd: i tried to install it so i could get my ipod touch synced
[08:12] <olskolirc> i don't remember my user name and password deww how do i recover that
[08:12] <rww> !password | olskolirc
[08:13] <deww> olskolirc: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[08:13] <wrd> Snookie1: have you removed libsubmux0?
[08:13] <deww> skip grant tables
[08:13] <olskolirc> thanks deww
[08:13] <deww> you can change your password in there
[08:13] <Snookie1> wrd: i tried removing it some minutes ago, but i still got it
[08:13] <Snookie1> wrd: will try again
[08:14] <ivanh> i cant install gstreamer plllugin
[08:14] <Snookie1> wrd: mark for complete removal?
[08:14] <olskolirc> i don't need to change my nix passwd rww i need to find out my mysql login and pass
[08:14] <nit-wit> tete
[08:15] <wrd> Snookie1: the difference -> the configuration is removed too.
[08:15] <wrd> Snookie1: so shouldn't matter
[08:15] <Snookie1> wrd: ah, ok, thanks
[08:15] <rww> and this is why we have the "ask question with all details on one line" thing :(
[08:15] <unRuhe> deww: it just worked fine with an other usb stick. ok solved
[08:16] <Snookie1> wrd: it worked, thanks
[08:16] <ivanh>  
[08:17] <qpt> are you guys dialed into that theo de raadt shit that just went down
[08:18] <rww> !ot | qpt`
[08:18] <ivanh>           
[08:18] <qpt`> yes i fucking know that
[08:18] <qpt`> so you haven't heard i'm guessing?
[08:18] <Myrtti> qpt`: mind your language here
[08:18] <qpt`> here's a link
[08:19] <qpt`> http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=129236621626462&w=2
[08:19] <qpt`> wtf?
[08:19] <Myrtti> qpt`: this is the support channel for Ubuntu, not random Open source news channel
[08:19] <qpt`> DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW FUCKING BIG THIS IS
[08:19] <Myrtti> qpt`: you were told to mind your language
[08:19] <qpt`> sorry
[08:20] <qpt`> i wrote that after i read that
[08:20] <qpt`> but anyway did you read it!? this is huge
[08:20] <Myrtti> qpt`: the following discussion is perfect for #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:20] <Myrtti> in fact, it's already ongoing there
[08:21] <Flynsarmy> Ubuntu 10.10, Nvidia proprietry on laptop. Half the time when i swtich into dual screen mode, the screen goes black but I can still see the cursor. Waiting the 30 seconds does nothing. This never occurred in previous versions of ubuntu. Anyone else experiencing this? any ideas?
[08:24] <Sameyeam> will AptonCD contain updates?
[08:24] <qpt`> hey
[08:28] <Ileden> I'm bying a new display adapter, should I generally go for ATI or nVidia, considering Ubuntu support?
[08:28] <rusivi> qpt': Thank you for posting the link about the backdooring.
[08:29] <i8degrees> ...where would I look within the source deb of any given package as to see what compilation flags were used in building said package? example: ~src/mpd:$ ./configure --enable-ffmpeg
[08:29] <Sameyeam> Ileden, I had ATI and it was aweful! I now use Nvidia
[08:29] <Flynsarmy> Ubuntu 10.10, Nvidia proprietry on laptop. Half the time when i swtich into dual screen mode, the screen goes black but I can still see the cursor. Waiting the 30 seconds does nothing. This never occurred in previous versions of ubuntu. Anyone else experiencing this? any ideas?
[08:30] <Sameyeam> Ileden, dual monitor instant setup no fiddleing
[08:30] <Freud> im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 server edition from a usb stick
[08:30] <Freud> but it goes bad when it tries to detect the cdrom drive, which is not present
[08:30] <Ileden> Sameyeam: thanks for sharing the experience. Do you know if this is a general trend for nvidia to work well with linux?
[08:30] <Sameyeam> Flynsarmy, which screen is MAIN?
[08:30] <Freud> it doesn't seem to use the usb stick for the install
[08:30] <Flynsarmy> Sameyeam: he laptop
[08:30] <Freud> it boots from the usb stick though
[08:31] <Flynsarmy> Sameyeam: there's a second bug, even if i select the laptop as main screen, it makes the external main the first time, i cancel then re-set and then my laptop is main
[08:31] <Ileden> Sameyeam: btw which nvidia card is it?
[08:31] <Sameyeam> Flynsarmy, try switching it and check you are using the native resolutions and not forcing a resolution
[08:31] <Flynsarmy> Sameyeam: not forcing resolutions, and it doesn't make a diff if its switched
[08:32] <Sameyeam> Flynsarmy, hmmm always a trouble maker! lol
[08:32] <Flynsarmy> The 2x setting bug has always benen around, but this black screen one is a real doozy - means i need to ctrl+alt+backspace and re-log in, losing all my open apps in the process
[08:32] <Flynsarmy> interestingly enough, the cursor changes to hand when it hovers over something that would be a hand etc. its just everything is black...
[08:33] <Sameyeam> Ileden, hmm don't recall but a cheap one. 2 years old. Newer should be even better!
[08:34] <Sameyeam> Flynsarmy, have you tried uninstall driver and reinstall?
[08:34] <Flynsarmy> Sameyeam: haven't tried that. don't really want to :(
[08:34] <Sameyeam> Flynsarmy, not hard on 10.10
[08:34] <Flynsarmy> Will i need to restart x?
[08:35] <Sameyeam> Flynsarmy, perhaps it's the config file? Make a backup, make a new empty one and restart and it might create a new one
[08:36] <DerSeppel> Hi there! I rebooted a machine yesterday and I suddently cannot login anymore. The ssh session freezes right after successful authentication.
[08:36] <Sameyeam> Flynsarmy, how old is the laptop?
[08:36] <Flynsarmy> Sameyeam: I have noticed that nvidia driver has appeared to...crash? a few times and it defaulted back to whatever the non-proprietry one is
[08:36] <Flynsarmy> 2 years
[08:36] <Ileden> Sameyeam: I'm going for older side myself as well - not for gaming purposes, just my previous one is dying away.
[08:36] <Sameyeam> Ileden, price range?
[08:37] <Sameyeam> Flynsarmy, I would try a simple remove and replace with full reboot inbetween
[08:37] <Ileden> Sameyeam: well, it's employer's money, so... :P but nah, something below 100€ probably.
[08:37] <Sameyeam> Flynsarmy, I had these issues back on 9.04 but not since
[08:37] <Flynsarmy> Sameyeam: where's the config file?
[08:38] <Sameyeam> Ileden, you'll be fine. Some cards have the Nvidia chipset and are much cheaper. That's what I have
[08:38] <i8degrees> Flynsarmy: no clue on how to advise ya as to why Ubuntu's autoconfig stuff is not working, but in my own experience with this stuff, I've always had to depend on custom Xorg.conf files in order to get everything the way I wish, and so with that said: http://pastebin.com/ESh1z4DG
[08:38] <Sameyeam> Flynsarmy, just a second
[08:38] <i8degrees> Flynsarmy: mind you, I'm running on older hardware, but the config, in general, ought to remain the same! (NV44a chipset / Geforce 6200)
[08:40] <ttiicc> how would I create a softlink with a given umask?
[08:40] <mitnick> how can i make this symbol  | on console pls
[08:41] <Flynsarmy> i8degrees: I'm constantly moving the laptop and switching in and out of dual screen mode. Wouldn't having that 'serverlayout' with multiple screens screw that up?
[08:41] <Goddard> where do i change phpmyadmin values in ubuntu?
[08:42] <i8degrees> Flynsarmy: ah, yes, I would think so :] ...you could try removing the ServerLayout config all together, btw
[08:42] <i8degrees> Flynsarmy: also, if you aren't familiar with the usage of the software 'xrandr', I'd strongly suggest becoming intimately familiar with this :]
[08:42] <sacarlson> Goddard: maybe http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
[08:43] <i8degrees> Flynsarmy: ...there are also applets that provide wrappers around xrandr functionality
[08:43] <Flynsarmy> i8degrees: Think I might take Sameyeam's uninstall/reinstall approach :)
[08:43] <i8degrees> Flynsarmy: hehe, worth a shot ;D
[08:43] <mitnick> gusy how can make this symbol pls : |
[08:43] <rs0832> mitnick: don't you have it on your keyboard?
[08:44] <Freud> ok, i guess the 10.10 usb install server edition is borked
[08:44] <mitnick> i dont see
[08:44] <rs0832> mitnick: do you have a standard keyboard?
[08:45] <ttiicc> some one who knows the answer for my question which I made 09:40?
[08:47] <rs0832> mitnick: the hex unicode is 007c and dec is 124 |
[08:49] <koolio> morning
[08:49] <sacarlson> ttiicc: I assume you mean simlink  or ln -s ,  the link has the same mask and privliges as the file it links to
[08:50] <ttiicc> okej, thanks
[08:51] <ttiicc> but Im little worried that my link got 777, does this mean that any user could change the link? I mean they got write access!

[08:55] <cyberlord> hi guys, got a problem
[08:55] <cyberlord> wanna remove a broken package from synaptic package manager but nthing is working
[08:55] <cyberlord> tried sudo apt-get install -f but !
[08:56] <rs0832> cyberlord: sudo apt-get remove <packagename>
[08:57] <i8degrees> cyberlord: or dpkg --force-all remove <package-name>
[08:57] <zenbuntu> sudo apt-get autoremove
[08:57] <i8degrees> cyberlord: as always, though, be careful :]
[08:57] <sacarlson> ttiicc: that got me thinking so I tested it by creating a symlink from my account sacarlson,  I then loged into another account and tried to delete the file even though it is 777  as seen from ls -l,  I can't change it
[08:59] <tripelb> update of 10/04 > cant print. got HP driver, installed, cant print. driver is there on the panel. No reason given. Used to work flawlessly.
[08:59] <sacarlson> ttiicc: but what if I linked the same file when I was loged into that other account?  you should try that to be sure
[08:59] <biassoni> Hi I installed python2.5 on my own to get GmailBackup work. Since a few days it stopped working with the following error:
[09:00] <biassoni> Traceback (most recent call last):
[09:00] <biassoni>   File "gmail-backup-gui.py", line 12, in <module>
[09:00] <biassoni> ImportError: No module named wx
[09:00] <biassoni> may anyone help me?
[09:00] <DerSeppel> I need help from you guys. I updated a ubuntu server yesterday and I can't login anymore. The ssh session is freezing right after successful authentication. The maschine is running fine so far. SFTP/SCP access is working. Any ideas?
[09:00] <ttiicc> sacarlson: I think the permission flags are omitted on symlinks
[09:00] <sacarlson> ttiicc: yes but maybe the owner and group are not
[09:01] <boneshaker> Hi All! Please, may somebody help me with my problem (Xvfb - virtual framebuffer X Server + xvkbd)?
[09:01] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: if sftp access is still working, have you pulled the diagnostic logs out from /var/log in order to peek at possible cause?
[09:02] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: yes. auth.log only shows the successful auth process. no warnings/errors.
[09:04] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: hmm, odd! no other symptoms being reported? let me guess, you can't restart the box? :]
[09:04] <mvandruff> is there a problem with using irc on empathy or something cause i had to go web based to get in
[09:04] <sacarlson> ttiicc: I did the reverse I created a symlink from my other account to my account and only the other account can be allowed to delete or modify that symlink or the superuser sudo
[09:04] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: i could try. WinSCP is able to open a "unix like" shell. This basic shell works so far.
[09:05] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: what version Ubuntu are we dealing with here?
[09:05] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: 10.04.1 LTS - 2.6.32-27-server
[09:05] <mvandruff> is there a program that i can organize my pictures by facial recognition?
[09:06] <sacarlson> ttiicc: last question is now can someone in the group if not the same as the use can they modify or delete the symlink ln -s?
[09:06] <harmony1001> How can I obtain a list of users or computers connected to my ubuntu samba shares?
[09:07] <i8degrees> mvandruff: if you count writing the software with an available library, sure :-] other than that, the only thing I'm aware of is Google Picasa's ability to recognize faces within your photos
[09:08] <blackhole> Hi i just installed ubuntu and wanted to change the display. There is no option in system->preferences-> display ?
[09:08] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: what were the list of software applications that were updated, btw?
[09:08] <blackhole> Any idea how can i change resolution ?
[09:08] <DerSeppel> only the kernel and headers as far as i remember ....
[09:09] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: giving the system a reboot ought to not hurt ... on occasion, I've had updates that have required reboots in order to properly reinit config and all
[09:09] <cuiret120s> tkj
[09:09] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: I'm currently rebooting the machine. I rebooted it yesterday though, right after the update.
[09:10] <blackhole> ??
[09:10] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: oh, well that doesn't sound very promising!
[09:11] <Flynsarmy> I did a sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current, reboot, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current, activate, reboot and now it says its activated but for some reason its still not in use. ideas?
[09:11] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: machine is up again, login works right now, but its very unresponsive. Same as yesterday. Worked for a short while the the freeze
[09:11] <rs0832> blackhole:  System> preferences> monitors
[09:11] <blackhole> ahh ok thnx
[09:12] <rs0832> blackhole:  no problem
[09:12] <blackhole> rs0832, it seems to show only 800 x 600
[09:12] <blackhole> rs0832, any idea how can i add higher resolution?
[09:12] <blackhole> rs0832, I have it installed using VM and it couldn't detect monitor. It's a laptop...
[09:13] <rs0832> blackhole:  o.o
[09:13] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: ah, well, now is the time to do as much debugging / diagnostics as possible :]
[09:13] <blackhole> rs0832, do i need to install something specific for it to detect monitor ..
[09:13] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: i guess i'll try to back up the current userdata and then i'll try to revert to the system backup from yesterday morning :/
[09:13] <rs0832> blackhole: maybe a driver
[09:13] <blackhole> rs0832, it's a nvidia quadro graphics card
[09:13] <blackhole> rs0832, so may be linux driver for nvidia quadro?
[09:13] <rs0832> blackhole: you can try
[09:13] <blackhole> rs0832, or may be i can somehow add a higher resolution to this def monitor?
[09:13] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: i've already used all debug possibilities known to me.
[09:13] <teknon> The resolution on my startup splash screen is too low. How do I adjust that?
[09:14] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: knowing the list of apps that were updated would be nice ... I'm curious if ssh or anything relating to was updated? either that bin is fuxxed or perhaps another process is mysteriously murdering due to ?
[09:14] <rs0832> blackhole: arent there any other options?
[09:14] <blackhole> rs0832, nope :(
[09:14] <rs0832> blackhole: try detect monitors
[09:14] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: hard to say, really ... I can't say I have had any problems per se ;/
[09:15] <blackhole> rs0832, doesn't helps
[09:15] <blackhole> rs0832, tried already!
[09:15] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: is there a simple way of optaining a change list from the last apt-get upgrade?
[09:15] <rs0832> blackhole: you are running it on a virtual machine?
[09:15] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: try running a query through Google to see if there is any reports surfacing of your issue?
[09:15] <blackhole> rs0832, yes
[09:15] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: uhmm, let me see...
[09:15] <Flynsarmy> When opening nvidia-settings it says i need to run nvidia-xconfig but that app doesn't exist and its not in apt-cache search either...ideas?
[09:15] <rs0832> blackhole: ah then i think you need to configure it in the virtual machine
[09:15] <blackhole> rs0832, details reg display on VM is video memory 8 MB
[09:15] <blackhole> hmm ok
[09:16] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: already did. only related search results with what seems to be the same issue where mailing lists or forum entries where the issue remained unresolved
[09:17] <georg_> guten morgen
[09:17] <georg_> good morning
[09:18] <georg_> where can i find the supportchanel for ubuntu9.10?
[09:19] <Jordan_U> georg_: This is it.
[09:19] <masai47> I was just upgrading ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 when it crashed (power disconected), upon restart it can not load up becasue some components (configuration settings for gnome power manager?) were not installed properly.  Advice?
[09:19] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: /var/log/dpkg.log
[09:20] <Jordan_U> masai47: Booot into recovery mode and run "dpkg --configure -a && apt-get dist-upgrade"
[09:20] <masai47> how do I boot into recover mode
[09:20] <Jordan_U> masai47: Hold shift during boot to get a grub menu, then select the recovery mode option.
[09:21] <georg_> Ah thanks.
[09:22] <mandriva_> Jordan: do you know about Zorin os
[09:22] <benjr> ive got web-brower, irc, and msn open, and my panel applet is shoing im uploading about 80kbs, this doesnt seem right to me, how can i check what specific applicaitons are using the internet?
[09:22] <georg_> the problem ist the kdenlive. That version 0.7.6... ins not found.
[09:22] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: linux-server 2.6.32.27.29, linux-image-server 2.6.32.27.29, linux-headers-2.6.32-27 2.6.32-27.49 and linux-headers-2.6.32-27-server 2.6.32-27.49
[09:22] <georg_> i have the update from ppa:
[09:22] <georg_> sempervideo told me...
[09:23] <georg_> it do not read flv files
[09:23] <georg_> what can I do?
[09:23] <mandriva_> can anyone tell me how download Zorin OS. I can't open  	http://www.zorin-os.webs.com
[09:24] <masai47> Jordan_U:  Thanks, I just clicked the option to repair broken packages, I think it is going to take a very long time as it had download some 1300+ packages and was only part way through installing them
[09:24] <rs0832> mandrivia_: open it through a proxy like hidemyass.com
[09:24] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: ah :] typical.... well, that's easy enough, anyhow! if you have console access to the system, anyhow :-)
[09:25] <rs0832> georg_: did you install flashplayer?
[09:25] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: you could try selecting the recovery option on the kernel that you were last on and see how the system runs afterwards
[09:26] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: ...if it patches things up, just remove the latest kernel installs and it'll autoconfig grub back to the older one (picks the newest kernel available and throws it on top)
[09:26] <biassoni> hi guys I need to configure python in order to add a path to the sys module, may anyone help?
[09:27] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: yes ... thats what i was thinking about right know. I'll call the datacenter and let them reboot the machine into recovery to get a working shell
[09:28] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: *nods* ought to be smooth sailing from there :-)
[09:29] <zamba> i want to reach a computer in a network behind a router.. i have access to the router, so i basically just have to do some ssh forwarding.. how do i do that?
[09:29] <DerSeppel> i8degrees: thanks you dude.
[09:30] <noonian> zamba you need to log into your router config page, it is usually at 192.168.1.1 on a browser
[09:30] <i8degrees> DerSeppel: wish ya best of luck!!
[09:30] <noonian> zamba, then go to port forwarding and forward to the computer you want, port 22 is the default port for ssh
[09:31] <zamba> noonian: oh, nevermind.. it's not a router.. it's just a regular computer inside the network
[09:31] <zamba> noonian: so i need to do ssh forwarding
[09:32] <noonian> if you are on the network you should just be able to ssh to the other computer then
[09:32] <zamba> no
[09:32] <zamba> i have access to a computer that's in the network
[09:32] <zamba> i'm on the outside
[09:32] <zamba> so i need to ssh through this computer to reach any of the other from the outside
[09:33] <noonian> ok
[09:33] <noonian> so just ssh to that computer, then ssh to one of the other ones on the network
[09:34] <noonian> you will still need the local network ip of the other computer
[09:34] <zamba> noonian: i need to access the web port
[09:34] <zamba> noonian: and i need to do this from my web browser
[09:34] <zamba> noonian: i KNOW i need ssh forwarding, so can you stop fighting the question? :)
[09:35] <noonian> zamba, im not trying to fight with you hehe. so you want port 80 on the one you have access to to be port 22 on the other one on the network?
[09:37] <ServerTechLaptop> How do i upgrade ubuntu server 10.04 to ubuntu server 10.10?
[09:37] <i_is_broke> ServerTechLaptop, check in your repos and make sure that the box is moved from lts to normal release
[09:38] <ServerTechLaptop> i_is_broke: it is 10.04 lts

[09:39] <i_is_broke> ServerTechLaptop, then locate your repos and in there at the bottom it says only check for lts. you need to move it to normal release.
[09:40] <i_is_broke> ServerTechLaptop, or open synaptics and change repo there as well.

[09:46] <AdvoWork> is there a way to test how much bandwidth would be used on a rsync?
[09:47] <jerk> can anyone please tell me how to get dual audio output [both headphone and speakers] in Ubuntu 10.04?
[09:47] <mandriva_> do you have any idea to download zorin os
[09:48] <noonian> jerk, I think if you click on the sound icon and go to sound preferences you can switch it to analog output, then go into alsamixer and make sure the volume is up for headphones and speakers
[09:49] <nirazio> where does ubuntu store its library files?i want to add my own library to use in c compiling, but don't really know where ubuntu stores it.
[09:49] <jerk> noonian: how can I get in alsamixer?
[09:50] <nirazio> where does ubuntu store its library files?i want to add my own library to use in c compiling, but don't really know where ubuntu stores it.
[09:50] <noonian> jerk, open a terminal and type alsamixer
[09:52] <i8degrees> nirazio: /usr/lib & /usr/include
[09:53] <Flynsarmy> Anyone able to help? I deactivated/purged nvidia-common, rebooted, reinstalled, activated, rebooted, /usr/lib/nvidia-common/bin/nvidia-xconfig, reboot and now it won't go past the ubunut logo with 5 red dots. Anyone able ot help?
[09:53] <ZyreX> Hello
[09:54] <ZyreX> Can someone help me with a problem, please?
[09:55] <jerk> okay....alsamixer says my headphone isn't being detected
[09:57] <sacarlson> Flynsarmy: I guess you can try live cd boot and delete or rename the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and try boot again
[09:58] <koshari> can you still boot with nosplash option in 10.04?
[09:58] <bcg> #flashrom

[09:59] <hidnshadows> Hey guys, quick question. Macs have a "secure empty trash" option, is this available on ubuntu? I've looked through the repositories with no luck

[09:59] <nirazio> How to block icmp responses??
[09:59] <nirazio> How to block icmp responses??
[09:59] <twitch> iptables ?
[10:00] <rs0832> hidnshadows : i think there is a package in the repos for that
[10:00] <Jordan_U> hidnshadows: Yes, through the terminal you can use "shread" and I'd bet there is also a GUI tool.
[10:00] <hidnshadows> rs0832 any idea on what keywords I should try?
[10:00] <rs0832> hidnshadows : 'wipe'
[10:00] <Jordan_U> hidnshadows: s/shread/shred/
[10:01] <twitch> !iptables | nirazio
[10:01] <jerk> so, can anyone plz tell why my headphone isn't being detected by alsamixer?
[10:01] <ZyreX> Did someone manage to update to 10.10 from Update manager? I'm asking because i have ubuntu 10.4 , but it doesnt show me the latest dist..
[10:02] <twitch> jerk: is it usb?
[10:02] <rs0832> ZyreX : i have
[10:02] <jerk> twitch: no
[10:02] <noonian> jerk, you might have to hit f5 to see everything in alsamixer
[10:02] <nettezzaumana> hi there .. would any insane ubuntist show me output from: dpkg -S `which lshw`
[10:02] <nettezzaumana> thanks
[10:02] <ZyreX>  rs0832: can you guide me a little. i tried to swith from one server to another, , then to main server, but still, it doesnt show any dist update there?
[10:03] <nirazio> twitch: Yes using iptables
[10:03] <nettezzaumana> ^^ check please if -S $file shows which package owns a $file
[10:03] <rs0832> ZyreX : why dont you just use the cli?
[10:04] <rs0832> ZyreX : sudo apt-get install update-manager-core | sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[10:04] <sacarlson> nettezzaumana: I see lshw: /usr/bin/lshw
[10:04] <ZyreX> thanks, i will try
[10:04] <jerk> noonian: okay, did f5 too... not helping :(
[10:04] <rs0832> ZyreX: no problem
[10:04] <gsouque> i have an issue with freenx in the client side (no machine client) some buttons of applications disappear
[10:05] <nettezzaumana> sacarlson: thanks .. no problem, but i asked which package deploys that file and it could be achieved by: dpkg -S /usr/bin/lshw
[10:05] <nettezzaumana> i hope
[10:05] <nettezzaumana> IIRC
[10:05] <SergeyIT>  ZyreX, menu System - Administration - Software sources; page Updates - Release Upgrade - Normal releases
[10:05] <Okitain> Is there any way to stop the dpkg process?
[10:06] <ZyreX> yes, sergey , its on normal releases..
[10:06] <noonian> jerk, no idea why they arent showing up :(
[10:06] <Okitain> My problem: the update manager locked up when it was installing something, so I killed it off.
[10:07] <AdvoWork> im doing: rsync -azxhvr --progress --bwlimit=100 --rsh='ssh' 192.168.0.2:/mnt/Data/FILES/WORK/WORK /mnt/Data/FILES/FILES/WORK/WORK  but its putting all the contents from the source WORK but making a new folder in the destination, called WORK.  so now im getting WORK/WORK/WORK rather than just WORK/WORK  any ideas please? I thought leaving off the / from the desintation folder shouldave fixed it..
[10:07] <Okitain> Now, the dpkg is in the list of processes, uninterruptible, and forbidding anything from locking the install process.
[10:07] <jerk> noonian: technically speaking, there's "headphones" written right next to the "Master" but I can't control the volume
[10:07] <SergeyIT> ZyreX? then in Update Manager must be the control - "Upgrade" (
[10:07] <nettezzaumana> well, would anyone show me that bloody output from `dpkg -S /usr/bin/lshw` ??
[10:08] <Flynsarmy> Anyone here using nvidia-propreitry drivers on 10.10 that hasn't manually modified their xorg.conf? Can you pastebin and send my way please. woudl really help
[10:08] <ZyreX> SergeyIT, i know, but it doesnt anything about the dist. I used that when i updated to 10.04, but now when im trying to update to 10.10, it just doesnt show anything
[10:09] <noonian> jerk, using the arrow keys you cant?
[10:10] <sacarlson> nettezzaumana: I just typed it as you sent it dpkg -S /usr/bin/lshw  and that's what I got from my term but with just lshw I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/543985/
[10:10] <ZyreX> anyway , SergeyIT, im using that command that rs0832 told me..so , thanks anyway
[10:10] <nuttso> hey there. Got a question. I use backtrack 4 r2 and tried to update the ati drivers. They didn't seem to work propably so i deletet them. But now my screensaver configuration in kde3 show me the error: libGL.so.1 cannot open shared files. I think it was overwriten. how can i get the old one back?
[10:10] <popey> nuttso: we don't support backtrack in here, you probably want #backtrack-linux
[10:10] <nettezzaumana> sacarlson: no .. uff
[10:11] <nettezzaumana> sacarlson: i didn't .. please retype with full path
[10:11] <SergeyIT> ZyreX? it's a bug, may be. I use the LTS versions only
[10:11] <nettezzaumana> sacarlson: thanks btw
[10:11] <bullgard>  [Lucid] I sent my Thinkpad T42 to hibernate. When I woke it up '~$ route' was empty and I had to run '~$ sudo dhclient eth0' in order to get ADSL Internet access. Why does this computer not establish automatically Internet access as it did in the past?
[10:11] <nuttso> thcx popey
[10:11] <nettezzaumana> sacarlson: if your paste is accurate you typed `dpkg -S lshw`
[10:12] <nettezzaumana> which is not what i want cuz i need `dpkg -S /usr/bin/lshw`
[10:12] <nettezzaumana> i only need to know which package deploys that file
[10:12]  * korben greets all
[10:12] <Flynsarmy> Anyone here on nvidia-proprietry on 10.10 and haven't manually modified their xorg.conf?
[10:13] <nettezzaumana> why is this channel (except of sacarlson) so not helpful
[10:13] <sacarlson> nettezzaumana: as stated that's what I got but if you don't beleave me see for yourself http://paste.ubuntu.com/543987/
[10:13] <rigved> !find lshw | nettezzaumana
[10:14] <nettezzaumana> sacarlson: ok, sorry and thanks ... i don't have|using ubuntu or even deb systems ... i have some inane script which fails on our RHELs due to the missing lshw binary|script|whatever
[10:15] <nettezzaumana> sacarlson: have a nice day and regards

[10:18] <Emanon-iPhone> Hola all is it possible to do full disk encryption with netbook version or should I just install netbook ui over an alternate install?
[10:18] <nettezzaumana> sacarlson: thanks again and no problem .. i just downloaded it manually and now hacking out
[10:18] <acicula> FDE needs alternate
[10:20] <taran> does anyone know how to update from behind a firewall?
[10:20] <acicula> netbook does support encrypted user directories, so depending on your security requirements that may also be an option.
[10:20] <taran> !update
[10:20] <taran> !update
[10:20] <Emanon-iPhone> Was hoping for full disk
[10:21] <acicula> Emanon-iPhone: its possible, but requires a bit more work, and more often then not more trouble then its worth.
[10:22] <Flynsarmy> Anyone here on nvidia-proprietry on 10.10 and haven't manually modified their xorg.conf?
[10:22] <acicula> taran: there is no obvious relation between the two, can you explain the problem you are experiencing
[10:22] <Autonomiser> !
[10:23] <Autonomiser> ITM!
[10:23] <Emanon-iPhone> K tha ms acicula
[10:23] <Emanon-iPhone> Grr thanks hate iPhone sometimes
[10:23] <taran> acicula: shall i post the screenshot?
[10:24] <acicula> taran: anything that explains your problem would be usefull
[10:24] <acicula> err describes
[10:26] <sacarlson> taran: as long as port 80 (same as your browser)  works then you should be able to update with synaptic or apt-get
[10:26] <jerk> noonian: sorry for the late reply..... yeah I can't control the headphone vol in alsamixer using arrow keys
[10:26] <taran> acicula: I got this message "Requires installation of untrusted packages  The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."
[10:27] <tokyomission> Umm... I am in the middle of a distro upgrade to 10.10
[10:27] <tokyomission> and it just stoppped
[10:27] <tokyomission> at "removing all DKMS Modules"
[10:27] <tokyomission> Is there a way to restart the proccess?
[10:28] <acicula> taran: thats not a firewall issue, that either means you need to try another mirror and or run check for updates again, or that you added a repository without adding the signing key for that repository
[10:28] <twitch> tokyomission: apt-get install -f
[10:28] <CERNUNN0S> @AdvoWork you could use "trickle -d 80", that would limit the connection to 80Kb/s
[10:28] <nicofs> i just installed ubuntu-netbook and i want to change to normal ubuntu. how do i install ubuntu and get rid of u-netbook afterwards without a new install? i installed ubuntu-desktop via synaptic so far...
[10:28] <sacarlson> taran: sounds like maybe a keyring problem  something like this http://fplanque.com/dev/linux/debian-apt-get-missing-keys
[10:29] <acicula> nicofs: think there is only a few packages specific to the netbook version, youd have to compare the two profiles against each other to find out which ones
[10:29] <tokyomission> twitch: says it is locked
[10:29] <nicofs> acicula: how/where could i compare them?
[10:29] <twitch> tokyomission: means you are running apt already or update manager or symn
[10:29] <taran> sacarlson: I will check up n report
[10:30] <twitch> synap*
[10:30] <acicula> nicofs: not a clue
[10:30] <tokyomission> I am running the distro upgrade currently
[10:30] <tokyomission> but it just stoped
[10:30] <tokyomission> at around 50%
[10:31] <nicofs> acicula: coul it be somewhere in the session settings?
[10:31] <tokyomission> and isn't letting me do anything
[10:31] <twitch> did you lcose all the windows?
[10:31] <twitch> close
[10:31] <tokyomission> all bu xchat
[10:31] <tokyomission> and I can
[10:31] <sacarlson> taran: also take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1600704
[10:31] <tokyomission> 't close the "Distribution Upgrade" window
[10:31] <TeslaTony> nicofs, ubuntu-desktop is the package you want. If you have a terminal handy, type in "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[10:32] <tokyomission> the close is disabled
[10:32] <nicofs> TeslaTony: that's what i did so far... but how do i rid myself of ubuntu-netbook afterwards?
[10:32] <Deiu> Hello!
[10:32] <twitch> tokyomission: the update hasn't finbshed if it errored .. so if you know how to use ps aux .. kill all processes attached to apt .. or just reboot then try apt-get install -f
[10:32] <tokyomission> I can do ctrl-c but it says"This will abort the operation and may leave the system in a broken state."
[10:32] <Deiu> Does anyone know if you can force install of packages in specific dirs?
[10:33] <TeslaTony> nicofs, That's a tad trickier. You can take a look at the dependencies of the ubuntu-netbook package, and uninstall the ones you don't want, but it isn't very clean
[10:33] <bl4de> hi, guys
[10:33] <sacarlson> Deiu: never heard of that but you can search a file to find what package it comes from,  if you want to scan each in the dir I guess it could be done
[10:34] <nicofs> TeslaTony: that's not the problem... i fear that after rebooting i will still get into the netbook-look...
[10:34] <cvetan5> hey guys
[10:34] <Flynsarmy> Anyone here on nvidia-proprietry on 10.10 and haven't manually modified their xorg.conf?
[10:34] <cvetan5> how can I adjust the microphone input volume with C++ ?
[10:34] <twitch> tokyomission: it's already going to be a broken state if the packages you are trying to install have failed half way through
[10:34] <guest1> please help me.......
[10:35] <TeslaTony> nicofs, Then at the login screen, there's the "session type" option, and just choose Ubuntu, or Ubuntu Desktop
[10:35] <ttiicc> I have a script /etc/init.d/jboss and would like to get it executed with boot and stopped with shutdown. What should I do?
[10:35] <acicula> nicofs: you wont, as you can select what flavour you want at the login screen
[10:35] <sacarlson> cvetan5: might look at the source code in the alsa libs
[10:35] <acicula> nicofs: its at the bottom
[10:35] <twitch> .away tv
[10:35] <guest1> my documents, places, music , video folder not opening   help
[10:36] <acicula> !init
[10:36] <cvetan5> sacarlson, I've looked at the ALSA docs, there is this simple mixer but no examples :S
[10:37] <burg> hello. is there any problem with flash player on ubuntu 10.10 64bit? because very often flash player just crashes in my browser
[10:37] <sacarlson> cvetan5: well there are gui's that have volume control they must have the source code for those someplace
[10:37] <boneshaker> why sending keysequence via xvkbd kills Xvfb server?
[10:37] <boneshaker> other servers (not Xvfb) works fine
[10:37] <guest1> my documents, places, music , video folder not opening   help me
[10:37] <cvetan5> sacarlson, nice hint ;) thnx
[10:38] <sacarlson> cvetan5: maybe look at the source of aumix
[10:44] <bullgard>  [Lucid] I sent my Thinkpad T42 to hibernate. When I woke it up '~$ route' was empty and I had to run '~$ sudo dhclient eth0' in order to get ADSL Internet access. Why does this computer not establish automatically Internet access as it did in the past?
[10:44] <nicofs> how can i start the "Login Screen Settings" via console?
[10:45] <i8degrees> nicofs: if it is a X application, you cannot
[10:46] <i8degrees> nicofs: normally, anyhow :] going about it through a framebuffer is not for the faint of heart
[10:46] <nicofs> i8degrees: to change anything, i need to click the "unlock" button. but if i do nothing happens. so i wanted to start via console with "sudo"
[10:47] <nicofs> i8degrees: i am talking about System > Administration > Login Screen
[10:49] <i8degrees> nicofs: ah, gdm :]
[10:50] <i8degrees> nicofs: at the console, type 'sudo service gdm restart' (w/o quotes)
[10:50] <SergeyIT> nicofs, gksu gdmsetup
[10:50] <stiang> why does init respawn mysql whenever I kill it? where is this behavior configured?
[10:50] <Flynsarmy> Anyone here on nvidia-proprietry on 10.10 and haven't manually modified their xorg.conf?
[10:51] <twitch> yeah
[10:51] <i8degrees> Flynsarmy: :-)
[10:51] <Flynsarmy> twitch: can you pastebin it for me? i'm having all kinds of issues eventually resulting in my conf file disappearing :(
[10:51] <SergeyIT> nicofs, it does not work (
[10:51] <Flynsarmy> *head explodes*
[10:52] <twitch> have you uninstalled ubuntu repo's of nvidia?
[10:52] <AdvoWork> im trying to install 10.10 on a brand new laptop. Downloaded it, burnt it to dvd, and ive put it in the laptop, changed boot device priority but it just won't boot, any suggestions please?
[10:52]  * i8degrees almost wonders why he is still using Ubuntu; my install is so customized that it bares little resemblance
[10:53] <Flynsarmy> twitch: i uninstalled nvidia-common, rebooted, reinstalled/activate, rebooted, ran /usr/lib/nvidia-common/bin/nvidia-xconfig, rebooted, ubuntu failed ot pass ubuntu logo, deleted conf file and now i'm back to default nvidia drivers instead of proprietry
[10:53] <ectospasm> AdvoWork: do any other bootable CDs/DVDs boot OK in that drive?
[10:53] <Flynsarmy> twitch: so now i'm looking for the xorg.conf that you get when you first install nvidia proprietry - i'll copy it in there and hopefully it'll work
[10:53] <nicofs> Can i change the session settings somewhere vie console/editor?
[10:53] <nicofs> *via
[10:54] <AdvoWork> ectospasm, just going to try that now, i may just install an old version and upgrade, same thing right?
[10:54] <ectospasm> AdvoWork: in theory, yes that's the same
[10:54] <ectospasm> AdvoWork: ymmv, and all that
[10:54] <AdvoWork> ectospasm, hmm, 9.10 boots
[10:55] <AdvoWork> ill install that, then is it best to just do an upgrade from the update manager or?
[10:55] <ectospasm> AdvoWork: may want to try 10.04, since upgrading may not work as planned
[10:55] <bullgard> nicofs: see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man8/gdm.8.html for a partial answer to your question. But you will need diligence.
[10:55] <i8degrees> nicofs: now that's my sort of q&a :-) look within /etc/X11 & /etc/gdm
[10:55] <AdvoWork> ectospasm, how come?
[10:56] <nicofs> i8degrees: basically i want to enable auto-login and remove some sessions from the dropdown menu...
[10:56] <ectospasm> AdvoWork: too big of a version jump, IMO.  It may work, I just don't like to skip releases.
[10:57] <taran> How to work over this "PG error: http://deb.opera.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F9A2F76A9D1A0061Failed to fetch http://deb.opera.com/opera/dists/stable/non-free/source/Sources.gz  404  Not Found Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
[10:57] <AdvoWork> ectospasm, dunno how ill do it, any reason it didnt work downloading and burning to dvd(10.10 i mean)
[10:58] <ectospasm> AdvoWork: did you check the md5/sha1 sum of the DVD ISO?
[10:58] <i8degrees> nicofs: the man page bullgard linked you to is your best bet for those two specifics
[10:58] <RoboIRC> hey whats meego??
[10:58] <AdvoWork> ectospasm, yeah but the ubuntu site doesnt mention burning to dvd, only cd, so could that be the prob?
[10:59] <i8degrees> nicofs: the sessions are found within /usr/share/xsessions
[10:59] <ectospasm> AdvoWork: is there a separate DVD ISO?  If not, it probably doesn't work because you've used a DVD
[10:59] <i8degrees> nicofs: but regardless, you most definitely should refer to above stated man page for gdm :-)
[11:00] <nicofs> i8degrees: i'll look into that as soon as i'm done with removing al the unnessesary packets that came with ubuntu...
[11:01] <dagon666>  is there a download tool (like wget) capable to process Javascript code ?
[11:01] <AdvoWork> ectospasm, am i able to install 10.10 from the 9.10 live cd?
[11:01] <C00re> curl perhaps
[11:02] <i8degrees> nicofs: *nods* hehe, I feel ya
[11:02] <ectospasm> AdvoWork: I really can't say, as I've never tried
[11:02] <C00re> curl can handle cookies atleast :P
[11:02] <scarra3> I still can't get ubuntu to work with my touchpad
[11:02] <sacarlson> dagon666: like firefox?
[11:02] <nicofs> i8degrees: fyi... running experimental kernel on arm-based system...
[11:02] <ectospasm> I went from 9.10->10.04->10.10, and had to install 10.10 from scratch because I hosed my LVM.
[11:02] <AdvoWork> ectospasm, actually, found http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/10.10/release/ubuntu-10.10-dvd-i386.iso
[11:02] <scarra3> My touchpad is an Alps Touchpad on my Sony Vaio
[11:02] <ectospasm> AdvoWork: use that to burn then
[11:02] <i8degrees> nicofs: hehe -- wish I had an ARM chip to play with :]
[11:03] <dagon666> sacarlson: thanks for the advice.... moron
[11:03] <nicofs> i8degrees: mine came 280€ including an integrated 3g modem... can't complain there...
[11:03] <sacarlson> dagon666: I use firefox with firewatir
[11:03] <alabackern> hmm
[11:03] <sacarlson> dagon666: you didn't relize the power of firefox
[11:04] <sacarlson> dagon666: it uses ruby as it's interface
[11:04] <dagon666> sacarlson: I wrote "like wget"
[11:04] <scarra3> Any ideas
[11:05] <rigved> i8degrees: if you have a smart phone that you didn't use, then you could have an ARM chip to play with!
[11:05] <bullgard> 'man apt': "This manpage isn't even started." Where is desciption of apt to be found?
[11:05] <bullgard> s/desciption/description/
[11:05] <wrd> bullgard: what kind of manual are you looking for?
[11:05] <scarra3> My touchpad is an Alps Touchpad on my Sony Vaio
[11:06] <bullgard> wrd: An informative one. An introduction from the user's point of view.
[11:06] <i8degrees> rigved: ah, very true :] certainly have more than one of those laying around ... perhaps once a few other hacking projects get finished -_-
[11:06] <wrd> bullgard: /usr/share/doc/apt-doc/guide.html (in package apt-doc)
[11:06] <sacarlson> dagon666: yes but you also stated "process Javascript code" if you just want the text then you can use wget
[11:07] <wrd> bullgard: most debian documentation is packaged and readable with a browser
[11:07] <scarra3> Is there any way I can get he touchpad to work

[11:13] <bullgard> wrd: I installed the DEB program package »apt-doc« and can now read and study the »APT User's Guide«. --  Thank you very much for your help. --  But I have a supplementary question: Why have DEbian people not taken an excerpt of this document and put it in 'man apt'?
[11:14] <bullgard> (I first start looking for documentation in the manpages.)
[11:15] <jayden> hey when i set a program to run on startup, where is the setting written to? I ask because I need to know the command of a startup item I had on my old computer and all I have are the backup files :P

[11:23] <Sandking> hey
[11:23] <Redcoil> Hi
[11:24] <Sandking> how can i change default media player that under volume indicator it would show up instead of rhythmbox?
[11:24] <jayden> load a media player other than rhythmbox, if rhythmbox is still showing after you closed it, run rhythmbox and hit ctrl+q, sandking
[11:24] <Redcoil> How can I apply a patch? Terminal says 'patch' is an unknown command
[11:25] <jrib> Redcoil: patch is in the patch package.  Why do you want to apply a patch?
[11:25] <Sandking> jayden: oh, so the indicator just shows which player is active? i thought i need to change somewhere
[11:25] <Redcoil> jrib: Ubuntu has got a bug with my iMac's fans, they go full power all the time
[11:26] <jayden> I think its up to the player to support the feature, though I'm not 100% sure Sandking, check if your player has any plugins avaliable or ask on their forums
[11:26] <jrib> Redcoil: you understand you probably have to apply the patch to some source code and rebuild a package right?
[11:26] <Redcoil> jrir Oh dear.
[11:27] <Redcoil> hm.
[11:28] <Redcoil> jrib I've also a script which I must run as 'sudo', back in OS X I'd do that by simple entering its name but that doesn't work here, how can I run the script sudo from the terminal?
[11:29] <jrib> Redcoil: sudo « how you would normally run the script here ».  You have to be more specific if that doesn't work
[11:29] <Redcoil> jrib How can I run a script from the terminal?
[11:30] <Redcoil> ugh
[11:30] <jrib> Redcoil: make sure it's executable and type its path
[11:30] <Redcoil> Drag and drop works, nevermind
[11:30] <Redcoil> I cd'd to the directory before and then tried to run it :s
[11:30] <jrib> Redcoil: that works too.  Use ./NAME_OF_SCRIPT since . isn't in your PATH
[11:31] <Syria> join #ubuntu
[11:32] <Syria> :S
[11:32] <Redcoil> meh.
[11:34] <Redcoil> jrib Also, to rephrase that before, applying a patch is lots of hassle?
[11:36] <jrib> Redcoil: not really, it's rebuilding a source package with a command or two in between
[11:36] <jrib> !source | Redcoil
[11:37] <Redcoil> jrib But for the patch to run, I must apply it to 10.10's source code and reinstall? Sorry for my noobiness :/
[11:38] <plokij> .
[11:38] <jrib> Redcoil: you must apply it to the source package containing whatever files the patch is for
[11:38] <jrib> Redcoil: and then install the resulting package you build, yes
[11:38] <Redcoil> jrib: I see.
[11:39] <sresu> I've guitar(acoustic) connected to PC's audio-in ports using normal method. Which package can help me record guitar?
[11:39] <Redcoil> jrib, now, if I must apply windfarm-pm121.patch to some Linux 2.6.24 source, I'd have to "sudo apt-get source linux" or something like that?
[11:39] <plokij> anything that can handle audio imports?
[11:40] <plokij> !help
[11:40] <sacarlson> sresu: I had to add a small amp to my gutar to make it work on my system and there are some cool software that you can use to add effects like ladspa
[11:41] <sresu> sacarlson: Well, to test it, first I need a sound recorder... any idea about that as well?
[11:41] <jrib> !kernel | Redcoil
[11:42] <jrib> Redcoil: kernel has special instructions
[11:42] <sacarlson> sresu: true I think qarecord is build in
[11:42] <Redcoil> jrib, I'll have a look at that, thanks.
[11:42] <sresu> sacarlson: hey, can I talk to you in private for a moment?
[11:43] <sacarlson> sresu: it should be found at Applications>sound & video>QArecord
[11:43] <sacarlson> sresu: sure
[11:43] <phox_> Hi! I am currently using WIN7, and want to create a ubuntu-partition and at boot choose which OS I want to start. I realise this might not be the correct forum for this, but whatever :) Got any good links on the matter? (been googleing a bit)
[11:44] <jrib> phox_: put your ubuntu disk in the drive, reboot
[11:44] <plokij> phox_: just install ubuntu normally and grub should take over mbr
[11:44] <Birdynumnum> is there a way to sync an iphone 4 using ubuntu 10.10? I Have tried installing the libimobile but keep getting the message "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" when I connect my iphone :-(
[11:44] <plokij> !dualboot | phox_
[11:45] <phox_> jrib and plokij: I am a somewhat experienced ubuntu user. Is it easy? I'm a bit worried about me screwing up :P
[11:45] <phox_> thx for the link
[11:45] <jrib> phox_: yes it's easy, just follow the instructions on the screen.  But you should have backups anyway just in case
[11:45] <plokij> phox_: its relatively easy
[11:46] <phox_> plokij and jrib: How will this look graphiclly everytime I boot up the system?
[11:46] <Redcoil> jrib, could I apply that patch using the update manager?
[11:46] <georg__> what about ubuntu 10.04LTS?
[11:46] <jayden> phox, google this: Burg
[11:46] <plokij> phox_: it will just be a text based interface
[11:47] <plokij> phox_: but like jayden suggested there is a graphical solution
[11:47] <jrib> Redcoil: no, unless the patch has been applied by someone else and put in the repository.  Why do you think you need this patch?  What's the bug number?
[11:47] <phox_> plokij: will the interface be "from" ubuntu or windows? Don't know it it works that way, but I hope you know what i mean
[11:47] <georg__> http://www.stadt-burg.de/cms/
[11:47] <phox_> jrib: yeah burg looks cool
[11:47] <Birdynumnum> is there a way to sync an iphone 4 using ubuntu 10.10? I Have tried installing the libimobile but keep getting the message "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" when I connect my iphone
[11:48] <plokij> phox_: from ubuntu, as part of the /boot partition ro directory
[11:48] <plokij> *or
[11:48] <burg> thank you
[11:48] <Redcoil> jrib, I must apply it because the fans of my mac are buggy pretty much all versions of Ubuntu.
[11:48] <phox_> burg: hahaha that's hillarious
[11:49] <jrib> Redcoil: my second question?
[11:49] <Redcoil> jrib, looking it up.
[11:50] <wmoraes> instalar programas no big linux
[11:50] <skraito> hi guys
[11:50] <plokij> hi
[11:50] <skraito> how do you parse shell message to syslog
[11:51] <skraito> any command in ubuntu for that ?
[11:51] <skraito> like lets say i want to send message to syslog
[11:51] <skraito> log skraito login from command line ?
[11:51] <skraito> log skraito login from command line
[11:51] <skraito> hi plokij
[11:52] <ranjan> Hi all, is there anyone who has tried RIS in Linux here?
[11:52] <gobbe> skraito: logget 'something to log'
[11:52] <gobbe> skraito: logger i mean
[11:53] <plokij> !factoid
[11:53] <Redcoil> jrib, where would I look up the bug number?
[11:53] <skraito> nvm got it
[11:53] <jrib> Redcoil: bugs.ubuntu.com
[11:56] <Redcoil> jrib, it doesn't seem to be there.
[11:57] <Redcoil> jrib, but a quick google confirms that other iMac owners have got similar problems, and installing that patch is recommended on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/iMacG5iSight?action=show&redirect=iMacG5revC
[11:57] <Redcoil> jrib, so I'd say it's known
[11:58] <jrib> Redcoil: the point is the first thing you should do is check if the patch hasn't been applied already or superceded by some other patch...
[11:59] <jayden> is xorg.conf even used anymore?
[11:59] <plokij> jayden: not really, though some hardware does require it to work, but the majority is now depracated
[12:00] <jayden> plokij, so if I want to turn off mouse acceleration, xorg.conf isn't the way to go?
[12:00] <plokij> jayden: i can't confirm, but you can try if you really need that
[12:01] <jayden> thanks
[12:01] <Sandking> any magic mouse users here?
[12:01] <Sandking> i'm looking for a silent mouse and this looks like best option
[12:02] <phox_> So I used put in my usb-memory at 16GB and ubuntu says it only has 3Gb. What the heck? Have never seen this before. It's a U3.
[12:02] <Redcoil> jrib, so, what do I do now? I'd compile a new kernel if necessary.
[12:02] <jrib> Redcoil: ok
[12:04] <scarra3> Sup
[12:05] <BajK_> Does anybody of you have experiences with LG Flatron W2453 TQ 24 inch TFT screen? I never got it working when it is attached to the secondary display input. When its connected as primary it works just fine. Now I read at Amazon that it is a problem with that monitor (I thought it was Linux' fault)
[12:05] <phox_> Does anybody recomend using Wubi when installing ubuntu on a windows system?
[12:05] <plokij> i like pron :D
[12:05] <plokij> who else does
[12:05] <plokij> *porn
[12:06] <jrib> !ot | plokij
[12:06] <plokij> i blame my cat

[12:06] <plokij> jrib: sorry.
[12:06] <plokij> internet tourettes#
[12:06] <rs0832> phox_: it is better to install separately
[12:08] <phox_> jeez downloading ubuntu from the normal homepage is slow.. Any1 got any good links? I live in Sweden. Piratebay?
[12:08] <plokij> phox_: use the torrent from the official site
[12:08] <llutz> phox_: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt
[12:09] <phox_> llutz: which one should i choose? I have a AMD 32 bits system.

[12:16] <bullgard> acicula: The Network Manager Applet is visible. The problem persisted when I I just rebooted.
[12:19] <acicula> bullgard: try right clicking it and editing the eth0 connection and verify its settings are set to auto? also check /etc/network/interfaces that it has no configuration for eth0

[12:21] <scarra3> Anyone have a sony vaio running 10.10 that has an alps touchpad because for some reason my touchpad isn't working
[12:22] <noonian> Last_Biscuit, that issue has to do with either your router, your modem, or your service provider
[12:23] <Last_Biscuit> noonain i can use the same package on windows working flawless
[12:24] <Last_Biscuit> on linux there is an issue either do u have proper driver or some thing is theri, i got signal strenght on 10.4 while no signals on 9.10
[12:24] <noonian> Last_Biscuit, thats strange if you are on the network
[12:25] <wmorri> nonian: I disagree with you on that. I have found some good information in the forums
[12:26] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: Have a look at http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9901879
[12:26] <Last_Biscuit> wmorri, can u provide me the link
[12:26] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: so what chip is it we have?  this can be seen with lspci or lsusb
[12:26] <Last_Biscuit> ralink

[12:29] <Lasselingon> Hi, Im writeing a serial communication program and is wondering if there is a way to set the fifo buffer in ubuntu? or is it hardware specifik?
[12:29] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: have you tried sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-*enter_name_of_distro-generic
[12:30] <Last_Biscuit> wmorri, let me connect it with wire i am using laptop builtin wireless
[12:30] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: okay
[12:30] <Last_Biscuit> *enter_name_of_distro-generic ?
[12:30] <Last_Biscuit> should i write the same ?
[12:31] <Last_Biscuit> and i am not getting you question about the chip, my usb adapter is from TP LInk model LT- WN-727N
[12:31] <Last_Biscuit> wm_scott,
[12:31] <Last_Biscuit> wmorri,
[12:31] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: the post has sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic
[12:32] <Last_Biscuit> yes i tried it
[12:32] <Last_Biscuit> but i got the same error on it as well
[12:32] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: I want you to take out the lucid part and enter the name of the current version
[12:32] <Last_Biscuit> oh i am using 9.10 right now
[12:32] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: well that makes a difference then
[12:33] <Last_Biscuit> should i try it on 10.4 ?
[12:34] <acicula> bullgard: not sure, typically it is on by default even after a reboot
[12:34] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: as stated in 07:26:29pm my time the chip set can be seen with the commands  lspci or lsusb depending on if it's a usb device or buss card type,  but I would just go for the backport,  it shoud fix it
[12:34] <acicula> bullgard: maybe its a setting in the gnome registry somewhere, i wouldnt know but its at least something specific to google on
[12:35] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: Why do you need to connect with a second wireless card if you have connection with your internal wireless?
[12:35] <bullgard> acicula: What does mean "to google on"? Can you say that phrase in other words, please?

[12:40] <KM0201> nicofs: it was an accident... it was meant for Nicolaus
[12:41] <nicofs> KM0201: thought so^^
[12:41] <wmorri> Last_Biscuit: I am looking up compatability now/
[12:41] <macooo> could anyone tell me how to change the kernel back to its previous version, I upgraded to marverick from lucid, and now I see it was an mistake

[12:42] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: with the chip number you gave me I found your problem and the solution at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/87970  it seems you need to blacklist rt2800usb  as stated in workaround found at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/460323
[12:42] <jrib> Nicolaus: you should tell us exactly what you typed and exactly what the result was not just "don't work"
[12:42] <StrangeCharm> is there a passwords and/or encryption keys manager which has many of the features of seahorse, but also integrates with firefox, to remember and supply web passwords?
[12:42] <Emanon> any particular reason ubuntu alternate install iso wont work if put on a usb drive?
[12:43] <KM0201> Emanon: ys, because by default, it checks the CD for installation media.. it will boot, but then it will fail when looking for install media
[12:43] <Emanon> and why does the alt do this when none of the others do and the previous alt didnt either?
[12:43] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson Thank You let me check
[12:43] <KM0201> Emanon: at least thats been my experience...
[12:44] <Emanon> why praytel did they suddenly decide to break the only installer i use?
[12:44] <KM0201> Emanon: theyd idn't break it, its always beenn that way
[12:44] <Emanon> it worked in 10.04 it doesnt in 10.10
[12:44] <Emanon> thats called breaking
[12:44] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, can u tell me about 10.4 version ?
[12:44] <KM0201> Emanon: i dunno, the alt. cd has never worked for me from USB.. ever
[12:45] <Emanon> yea i could always toss it on a usb before and run fine now it does what it apparently had been doing to you all along
[12:45] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: I run 10.04 and it works out of the box but my ralink is not the same chip as yours
[12:45] <KM0201> Emanon: well, use the live USB, or boot a CD.. it'll work fine.
[12:45] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: you fix is one small text change in one small file
[12:46] <friki> barbarhaq: du -sh . more reliable
[12:46] <Emanon> well the live usb sucks or i would use it (no encryption or raid support)
[12:46] <Emanon> guess im digging out a dvd
[12:46] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, let me update the setup, right now i have connected the dongle with desktop, now as ubuntu boot up, i have a window Enter Password to unlock your login keyring
[12:46] <Emanon> you having trouble with a ralink wifi dongle?
[12:47] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, can u tell me that small text ? and how can i change it
[12:47] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: it is stated in the link but I can look
[12:47] <KM0201> Emanon: i think most of the ralinks have kernel support now(or the last few I've tried anyway)
[12:47] <Emanon> oh mine works fine after some terminal work
[12:48] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, i have provided the password, and network is connected now, 100% signal strength but no internet no access to router
[12:48] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, the link u provided earlier ?
[12:48] <Emanon> http://pastebin.com/0rLLCGj6
[12:48] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: is that for the backport?
[12:48] <monitor> ola ola ola
[12:49] <Emanon> full instructions start line 20
[12:49] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, no i have apply your provided link details right now, i am reading it
[12:50] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: the details I found in the link are Put the line 'blacklist rt2800usb' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and you are able to use wireless.
[12:50] <Guest51512> i need to change the permissions on a shared folder that was created using a linux mint. how do i change in ubuntu?
[12:50] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: did you do that?
[12:51] <KM0201> Guest51512: sudo chmod 777 /path/to/folder  should do it.
[12:51] <Guest51512> trying
[12:51] <Emanon> sudo chown -R <username>:<usergroup> /path/to/top/folder
[12:51] <Guest51512> KM0201 is there no gui
[12:52] <KM0201> Guest51512: i was assuming you tried right clicking/propeties/permissions
[12:52] <Guest51512> yes tried right clicking
[12:53] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, i have written on the terminal this line 'blacklist rt2800usb' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[12:53] <Last_Biscuit> nothing happened it just came to next line
[12:53] <KM0201> well, then it would probably be easier to do in terminal, but there's probably a GUI away to do it.. even if a bit dirty
[12:54] <Last_Biscuit> should i restart now? its done ? actually i am a noob with linux, trying to learn it sacarlson
[12:54] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: I think it's interprited that you edit the file with an editor like sudo qedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf    then add the line to the bottom of that file then save it,  exit qedit and reboot your system
[12:55] <Last_Biscuit> let me do
[12:55] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: opps forgot the line you add is "blacklist rt2800usb' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf"
[12:56] <Nicolaus> ok guys i need ur help
[12:56] <KM0201> Nicolaus: whats the problem now
[12:57] <Nicolaus> i am going to reinstall ubuntu and i need to save the files i have to a flashdrive. i am using a live CD now and when i go into the directory it says i dont have permisson
[12:57] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, power failed at my end :(
[12:57] <Guest71489> looking for people with knowledge about Backtrack4 R2 ....
[12:57] <jrib> !backtrack | Guest71489
[12:57] <Emanon> try their irc channel
[12:57] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: then go to the power company and pay your bills
[12:58] <KM0201> Nicolaus: if you just wanna do it quick and dirty.... just gksudo nautilus   navigate to the file, and drag/drop it from root nautilus, to the thumb drive.. but why are you reinstalling
[12:58] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, do not mind :( its load shadding in my country i do pay may bills regularly
[12:58] <timber> Hi all speak hungarian?
[12:58] <Last_Biscuit> i appreciate your effort and thank full to you what are u doing
[12:58] <KM0201> !hungarian | timber
[12:59] <Nicolaus> i dont understand KM0201
[12:59] <commander_> help.....!
[12:59] <KM0201> Nicolaus: what do you not understand?
[12:59] <sacarlson> ok it's my beer time, I will leave you all to the profesionals until tomaro
[12:59] <Guest71489> what works "best" installing backtrack or just booting without installing? I have it working on windows 7 using VMware
[12:59] <Nicolaus> what u said before on how to copy the files
[13:00] <KM0201> is your thumb drive plugged in?
[13:00] <gobbe> !backtrack | Guest71489
[13:00] <Nicolaus> i need to save them to a flashdrive but i dont have permisson so they cant be copy
[13:00] <jrib> Guest71489: this channel is for ubuntu support, not backtrack.  See ubottu
[13:00] <Emanon> i prefer booting it live but my friend likes it installed so its a choice really guest
[13:00] <commander_> anybody please help struggling with my pigeon to setup mxit...!
[13:00] <Emanon> sudo chown -R <username>:<usergroup> /path/to/top/folder Nicolaus
[13:00] <Emanon> leave the Nicolaus part off tho hehe
[13:00] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, Warning: unknown mime-type for "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" -- using "application/octet-stream"
[13:01] <Last_Biscuit> Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
[13:01] <KM0201> Emanon: he's on the live cd... whats the usergroup/name for it?
[13:01] <Emanon> ubuntu for both
[13:01] <Guest71489> i understand sorry for the miscommunication ... my bad :)
[13:01] <KM0201> was wondering..
[13:01] <Guest51512> KM0201 will that command change the permissions for all sub folders as well?
[13:01] <Emanon> yes
[13:01] <KM0201> yes
[13:01] <keito_> hey there folks, I have a friends knackered HDD that I am trying to recover.  I have gddrescue installed and when I try to create a recovery image I get the error "opening `/dev/sdc': No such file or directory"
[13:01] <Emanon> thats what the -R does
[13:01] <KM0201> yup
[13:01] <Emanon> so when i try to start a virtual machine in kvm i get this message http://pastebin.com/gkQcGW6T
[13:01] <KM0201> but he's just wanting to get some files, so he can reinstall, so it doesn't matter
[13:02] <Emanon> any ideas on that?
[13:02] <keito_> in /var/log/messages I can see /dev/sdc is recognised "[sdc] Attached SCSI disk"  but then it gets offlined "scsi 8:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery"
[13:02] <keito_> any ideas?!
[13:02] <KM0201> Emanon: well it clearly cannot initialize KVM.. :)
[13:02] <Guest51512> didnt work
[13:03] <Emanon> right and i fix this how?
[13:03] <KM0201> Guest51512: what didn't work?
[13:03] <KM0201> Emanon: honestly, i don't know.. . i don't do kvm
[13:03] <keito_> cat /proc/partitions fails to list anything under /dev/sdc (the knackered drive)
[13:03] <Nicolaus> i am not that good with terminal
[13:04] <Emanon> should be (minus the quotes) "sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /path/to/top/directory
[13:04] <keito_> can anyone see this text?!    =<^_^>=
[13:05] <Emanon> yes
[13:05] <keito_> sweet
[13:06] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: mabe gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[13:07] <sacarlson> Last_Biscuit: you should have realized I"m dislexic and can't spel
[13:07] <Last_Biscuit> oh ok
[13:07] <sacarlson> ok beer time for me and who's buying?
[13:08] <Last_Biscuit> i wish i could ..
[13:08] <eraldo> yes because
[13:08] <xuekan> hello i got a problem of my ubuntu,sometimes when startup the system needs to check disk and asks me to press F to fix or I to ignore,if it checks, then reboot and it goes normal,this happens very frequently.what's wrong?
[13:08] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, a file get open ..
[13:09] <shashi859> hi xueken ...... once check filesystem using gprarted
[13:09] <shashi859> but  u should consider some backup
[13:10] <xuekan> btw, last time when i used partionMagic,it said my extend partion didn't be marked as extended or something like that,it asked me to fix it,should i allow it to fix?
[13:10] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, i have written blacklist rt2800usb in the end of the text file and saved it.
[13:10] <Last_Biscuit> reboot time now ?
[13:11] <shashi859> xueken.. personally i had bad experience with partition magic... hence i prefer gparted
[13:11] <shashi859> just try once using gparted
[13:12] <neurochrome> gparted is awesome, but it doesn't work for me on maverick 8/
[13:12] <xuekan> shashi859:gparted? a disk software?
[13:13] <shashi859> ya .. install it using sudo apt-get install gparted
[13:13] <shashi859> it is a gui for 'parted'
[13:14] <Guest51512> Emanon: sudo -R gave permissions for top level folders onlt is there a command to allow access to sub folders?
[13:14] <neurochrome> xuekan, it's a partition manager
[13:14] <Linuxsapien> anyone here using deja-dup?
[13:15] <asdsg> The apache directives are go into the httpd.conf file right? The documentation doesnt make this clear.
[13:15] <xuekan> shashi859:ok,let me try it and see if things will go normal.thank you very much.
[13:15] <shashi859> ok
[13:15] <xuekan> neurochrome:thank you too.
[13:15] <PaulDeva> plss need help
[13:15] <PaulDeva> :(
[13:16] <shashi859> paul:what help
[13:16] <mbrochh> hi all. i'm just learning some basics about monit. i learned that i can tell monit to run every 60 seconds by using this command: "monit -d 60 -c /etc/monit/monitrc" however, after a reboot monit starts (as i set startup=1) but doesnt monitor anything. Where should I store the mentioned command, so that it gets executed after a reboot?
[13:16] <rs0832> PaulDeva: ask your question directly.. if someone can they will help you :)
[13:16] <PaulDeva> ok
[13:17] <Guest51512> Emanon: sudo -R gave permissions for top level folders onlt is there a command to allow access to sub folders?
[13:19] <Emanon> oh btw any particular reason why ubuntu netbook 10.10 boots having no interface whatsoever?
[13:19] <PaulDeva> I use Ubuntu win installer ... everything goes the auto update is dw GRUB-COMMON and GRUB-PC when i reset dos not start not even  WIN7 THE MRB is damage. what to do?
[13:21] <rs0832> PaulDeva: just install ubuntu (not the windows installer) It should overwrite and fix the mbr
[13:21] <Emanon> they probably muffed up the wubi installer your windows disk may restore your mbr (i think mandriva has something to do the same) i assume there is a utility for ubuntu to do it though i dont know it
[13:22] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, where are you :D
[13:22] <Robinux> how can i switch between users
[13:22] <Emanon> the only decent installer they "had" was the alternate and they just made that inaccessible to anyone without an optical drive
[13:22] <Last_Biscuit> sacarlson, its working on 9.10 i am so happy :D thank you so so so much .. i hope this thing work on 10.4 as well ..
[13:23] <Last_Biscuit> u people really proving ubuntu means , i wish one day i would join you for serving mankind ..
[13:23] <Last_Biscuit> hats of to you sacarlson ..!
[13:24] <Last_Biscuit> off*
[13:25] <tristan3199us2> is there a way to add librarys [as in windows 7] to the side panel in nautilus..
[13:25] <Guest51512> why dont permissions propate to sub floders/
[13:25] <Guest51512> propgate
[13:25] <pojiko> Guest51512: you need to use recursive
[13:26] <Guest51512> pojiko: explaine please
[13:26] <pojiko> Guest51512: when changing permissions with chmod use the recursive flag so permissions follow through
[13:27] <Guest51512> pojika; you mean as in  -R: i did that
[13:27] <tristan3199us2> whats the best torrent program.. transmission, qbittorrent, utorrent in wine, or ktorrent. and what is vuse..
[13:28] <iceroot> tristan3199us2: the one you like most is always the best
[13:28] <dagni> hi ;)
[13:28] <dagni> hi
[13:28] <Guest51512> pojiko: you mean as in -R?
[13:28] <tristan3199us2> none are faster than any of the others.. they all use the same sources??
[13:28] <dagni> i don't have direct rendering, but i've installed the ati radeon drivers from apt-get
[13:28] <dagni> why is that ?
[13:29] <dagni> root@laptop:~# fglrxinfo |grep -i direct
[13:29] <dagni> root@laptop:~#
[13:29] <tristan3199us2> iceroot: do they always use the same sources..
[13:29] <tristan3199us2> whats your favorite torrent program
[13:29] <iceroot> tristan3199us2: sources like source-code or sources like source for torrents?
[13:30] <tristan3199us2> sources for torrents
[13:30] <iceroot> tristan3199us2: i guess my favorite was rtorrent because it does not have a gui
[13:30] <iceroot> tristan3199us2: the sources came from the torrent file (tracker)
[13:31] <tristan3199us2> i never used a torrent program without a gui.. whats the benifit of not having a gui..
[13:32] <mbrochh> hi all. i'm just learning some basics about monit. i learned that i can tell monit to run every 60 seconds by using this command: "monit -d 60 -c /etc/monit/monitrc" however, after a reboot monit starts (as i set startup=1) but doesnt monitor anything. Where should I store the mentioned command, so that it gets executed after a reboot?
[13:32] <iceroot> tristan3199us2: my torrent is running on the server and of course a server doesnt have a gui
[13:33] <rigved> mbrochh: /etc/init.d
[13:34] <red2kic> tristan3199us2: You know... Opera is a torrent too.
[13:35] <tristan3199us2> hows opera.. im new to linux.. used utorrent before.
[13:35] <red2kic> tristan3199us2: If you are looking for something utorrent-like, then you want Deluge, I suppose.
[13:36] <red2kic> tristan3199us2: Also, Applications --> Internet --> Transmission.  Transmission is torrent client.
[13:37] <mbrochh> rigved, thanks
[13:37] <tristan3199us2> are all torrent clients the same in how fast they download.. i want something that has a good number of max global connections and upload download slots already configured for wireless speeds..
[13:38] <rigved> mbrochh: you are welcome
[13:38] <pojiko> Guest51512: sorry for the late reply but check the man pages to be sure
[13:38] <Guest51512> pojiko: thks
[13:38] <mbrochh> rigved, that folder already has a file called monit... which enables me to control the daemon
[13:39] <mbrochh> rigved, should i add a new file with a shell script only consisting of the mentioned command?
[13:40] <rigved> mbrochh: you can add the command to the already existing file or make this file start your file which has the command
[13:40] <mbrochh> rigved, ok i will try that, thanks again
[13:42] <tristan3199us2> can i get is deluge for servers??
[13:43] <tristan3199us2> sorry..
[13:44] <red2kic> For servers? Use rtorrent, deluged / deluge-console, or transmission-daemon / transmission-cli. You always can switch to different if you dislike them.
[13:44] <tristan3199us2> thanks... will do..
[13:44] <tristan3199us2> whats vuse..
[13:45] <tristan3199us2> i know its related but something different about it.. is it a media player too??

[13:49] <Ljay> Hi I am new to this, question is there a known  problem loading ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron M5030?
[13:50] <Varista`nb> Hello I have a quick question about netbook edition: I have a 64 bit netbook and I'd like to be able to use a 64 bit version, but I don't see an x64 netbook ( go figure, I think my proccessor is the only 64 bit atom ). Is there a reason I should use netbook instead of desktop x64?
[13:50] <Varista`nb> don't see an x64 netbook edition*
[13:50] <gobbe> Varista`nb: you could use just desktop edition and install unity after installing
[13:51] <Varista`nb> unity is what?
[13:51] <Varista`nb> something for netbooks?
[13:51] <rigved> Varista`nb: install desktop edition
[13:51] <Pici> Varista`nb: The desktop interface that you would get if you installed the netbook edition.  Everything else is the same as the desktop install.
[13:51]  * Varista`nb scratches his head
[13:51] <van7hu> hi, has anyone here had problem with USB driver in maverick ?
[13:52] <Varista`nb> Pici: you mean it's something to interface my netbook with a desktop?
[13:52] <rigved> Varista`nb: it's the GUI shell based on openGL
[13:52] <Varista`nb> oh okay.
[13:53] <reeniginEesreveR> could someone help me with netem: Want to setup an emulated network with high latency, low bandwidth, 1% packet losses and some packet re-ordering
[13:53] <Pici> Varista`nb: Er, no.  I mean graphical interface.  Like how you interact with your windows and icons and whatnot.
[13:53] <Varista`nb> right, right sorry.
[13:53] <slipttees> hi
[13:54] <Varista`nb> Will I be able to install desktop and use it to install unity or do I need to manually install unity somehow because it won't have an interface?
[13:54] <Ljay> Is this the right place to ask about problems loading ubuntu?
[13:54] <slipttees> i have graphical SIS771 on ubuntu 10.04, system sleep, when wake up, screen no go.
[13:54] <van7hu> Ljay : what is your problem ?
[13:54] <Varista`nb> Ljay: I believe so.
[13:54] <bsod1> is there an easy way to do this now? http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12700
[13:55] <nicolaus> km0201 u back
[13:56] <Varista`nb> gobbe: Do I need to do anything special to install unity or can I just install the desktop edition and apt-get or something?
[13:56] <rigved> Varista`nb: you will have a normal GUI as it's available for desktops. but unity is specially designed for netbooks' small screens and low processor and memory. if you want this then install it otherwise it'll still work as it is
[13:56] <Ljay> I have been using ubuntu for awhile on a deaktop.  I can't get pasted the first screen when loading either USB or CD disk

[14:26] <seul> yo! i just downloaded the latest version of ubuntu and i wanna do like a "live" install. But when i click install ubuntu i have this weird blue background menu.. What the heck? I have done this tons of times before, but now i get nervous
[14:26] <tge101> can anyone help me tweak this Pipe code?
[14:26] <Deddly> I wonder if anyone can help with an audio problem I am having. Sound playback is crackly at best (sometimes just a buzz when I change settings in Mixer). The computer is an IBM Thinkpad T-22. Soundblaster Pro soundcard I believe.
[14:26] <rigved> vinus: if yes then it's stuck. Ctrl+C to break
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Deddly: disable the power management to the chip
[14:27] <Deddly> ActionParsnip: OK sounds good...how do I do that, please? :)
[14:27] <gamerpro2000> Can someone please tell me why I have a bug report that's existed for over a month that no dev has even looked at?

[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Deddly: http://www.hotti.ch/doc/linux_on_t22.html
[14:28] <seul> How do i install ubuntu with the alternate cd? For some reason i was adviced to take it instead of the normal one. Is there a good guide anywhere? I have amd 32 bits.
[14:28] <gamerpro2000> seul, just burn the alternative install disc and install just like you normally would
[14:28] <tge101> i'm close, i just can't get it to function
[14:28] <Deddly> thanks, ActionParsnip.
[14:29] <Ub3r-N00b> hey guys, can anyone tell me how to hide my ip in here ? //mode $me +x doesnt work.... any other ideas ?
[14:29] <Pici> Ub3r-N00b: Ask in #freenode for a cloak.
[14:29] <seul> gamerpro2000: i have done that and im in the installation thing now. Its just that i dont know which options to take when partition stuff. I have a free partition that i made earlier in windows, but i dont know how to choose it. You know any good guide?
[14:29] <Ub3r-N00b> Pici: thanks
[14:29] <tge101> is this the wrong channel to ask for code help?
[14:31] <jrib> tge101: ask in the channel for the language you are coding in
[14:31] <jkg> if I'm running Ubuntu on a Xen VM, is there any specific kernel version I should be running? some docs seem to suggest -server is OK, but the package description for -virtual seems appealing
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> seul: the alternate installs in text mode but gives a desktop OS
[14:31] <nothingspecial> seul: it`s exactly the same as the shiny installer, without the shininess, use arrow keys to move, space (I think) to select (could be Enter) and Tab to move between the different boxes.
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> jkg: do you want a GUI with mouse interaction?
[14:31] <tge101> i don't want to paste the code, it's a Pipe and the language is C
[14:32] <jkg> ActionParsnip: nope, it's a web/DB server
[14:32] <Deddly> ActionParsnip: I'm looking at that link you gave me, but the writer pretty much just says it worked for him out of the box.
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> jkg: then the server OS is great and will make the site more resposive
[14:32] <seul> nothingspecial: yeah i clicked enter at the right partition of the hardrive, but then i just got more weird options.. Isnt there any guide with pictures?
[14:32] <Deddly> ActionParsnip: I might also add that I had no sound issues running DSL (Damn Small Linux)
[14:32] <jkg> but I do keep getting a bunch of CGI processes going into state 'D', becoming unkillable, driving the load avg up to 30+ and giving me the following in syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544055/

[14:33] <vinus> ya its in sleepin.....wat to do?
[14:33] <tge101> i can send it to someone and say what i'm tyring to do (just communicate 2 progs), just what i have is too long to paste
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> Deddly: there are some bootoptions you can use:    apm=on, acpi=off    in /etc/default/grub
[14:33] <seul> gamperpro2000: im sry but that wasnt a guide, it was just stating the fact that its possible and that it doesnt have live.
[14:34] <seul> nothingspecial: ok, im gonna start up the partition thing again and tell you what it says..
[14:34] <jrib> tge101: ##c
[14:35] <tge101> that's the best route to go?
[14:35] <tge101> and you mean C## right?
[14:37] <seul> tge101: just typ /j ##C and see for urself
[14:38] <Deddly> OK I'm trying to add lines to /etc/default/grub and it tells me it can't open the file for writing. What am I doing wrong?
[14:38] <seul> nothingspecial: ok so now im at partition disks. Should i use guide or manual? As i said i already have partitioned a 10gb thing in windows that i wanna use
[14:38] <nothingspecial> seul: manual
[14:38] <tge101> i can't talk in that channel
[14:38] <_jesse_> Deddly: you don't have permission; use sudo or gksu
[14:39] <_jesse_> tge101: you may need to identify first
[14:39] <seul> nothingalspecial: ok. I want to use SCSI3 and #3 with the status primary. But when i click enter, it just says that the partition if formatted with ntfs and i get some options
[14:39] <rigved> tge101: have you registered your name with NickServ
[14:39] <Deddly> _jesse_: Aha... Sorrry I'm new to this. What should I type to open it for editing, then?
[14:39] <_jesse_> tge101: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[14:40] <_jesse_> Deddly: depends if you are using a graphical editor or a terminal one
[14:40] <nothingspecial> seul: Sure you have the right partition?
[14:40] <rigved> seul: you must have formatted the partition earlier when installing windows. just format it if you are sure that it is not the windows partition
[14:40] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know a good Pc cards that work out of the box with linux?
[14:40] <seul> nothingspecial: yep, its 10.7gb big, just made it. I can "delete the partition" and "done setting up the partition". I just wanna click enter and install :P
[14:41] <Deddly> _jesse_: I'm using a graphical editor - Mousepad
[14:41] <perlsyntax> it hard find a good pc cards any more.
[14:41] <seul> rigved: what do you mean? It is formatted from windtows to NTFS. Doenst that work?
[14:41] <nothingspecial> seul: you have to delete it because it is ntfs
[14:42] <tge101> i got it going now, don't think anyones around in there though
[14:42] <rigved> seul: yes it does. delete it and format it as ext4
[14:42] <nothingspecial> |Then create new, ext4, select format, choose mountpoint /
[14:42] <Deddly> _jesse_: I just worked it out. It's just sudo mousepad
[14:42] <seul> nothingspecial and rigved: okey, ill do that.
[14:42] <perlsyntax> ?
[14:42] <rigved> seul: are you sure it's not the windows one?
[14:43] <_jesse_> Deddly: nice :) Though for mousepad you should use `gksu mouespad`
[14:43] <_jesse_> *mousepad
[14:43] <nothingspecial> seul: Have to get kids from school. Hope it goes well. Yes a be absolutely certain it is the right one.

[14:55] <rigved> induz: you are welcome. :)
[14:55] <Pici> IsoLnCHiP: The binaries on the 64 bit installed are compiled for a 64 bit system.
[14:55] <sosaited> cdbs, BTW is KDE better or Gnome for slower processors and ram?
[14:55] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know good pc card that work wwith ubuntu i
[14:56] <cdbs> sosaited: I am not very sure, but I think GNOME
[14:56] <rigved> IsoLnCHiP: you can check your version from the System Monitor, in case that's what you are looking for
[14:56] <sosaited> cdbs, Hmm. THanks., I'll try lucid and hopefully it will be fine
[14:56] <perlsyntax> this room a joke
[14:57] <IsoLnCHiP> Pici, well, obviously, I meant how can I tell, that its a 64bit system ;)
[14:57] <IsoLnCHiP> Pici, Hmm, ok, I see neither 32 nor 64 meantioned in sysmon

[14:58] <IsoLnCHiP> RIght, ok x86_64 kernel. Is it enought to install a ix86 kernel to switch my system to 32 bit, or do I need to do more than that?
[14:59] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: no, that won't suffice
[14:59] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: the whole system binaries are in one bitset, so you need to re-install
[14:59] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: you can run 32 bit programs on 64 bit..
[14:59] <jrib> IsoLnCHiP: reinstall
[14:59] <Keyboardx86> Hello everyone
[14:59] <Deddly> Can anyone help me with this crackling sound problem? Adding "apm=on" and "acpi=off" at the begining of /etc/default/grub doesn't make any difference. I had no trouble with DSL (Damn Small Linux) and someone told me that it uses Opensound. Can anyone help me get Opensound on Ubuntu?
[15:00] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: if its just a few programs that are causing issues..
[15:00] <Emerling> Keyboardx86, hi, you're welcome
[15:00] <saliak> anyone familiar with xmlrpc using c++ ?
[15:00] <IsoLnCHiP> Ok, any clever ideas how to make the reinstall as painless as possible? As in keep all settings.
[15:00] <AbhiJit> hi
[15:00] <jrib> IsoLnCHiP: why do you want 32bit?
[15:01] <rigved> saliak: maybe ##c++
[15:01] <jkg> anyone have any ideas why I'm seeing processes getting stuck waiting for IO, and my system becoming unresponsive, and the following logs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544055/ on a Xen VM running Lucid? current kernel is Linux nephos 2.6.32-21-server #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:17:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[15:01] <AbhiJit> !aptoncd > IsoLnCHiP
[15:01] <saliak> rigved : duh.  sorry, that makes a lot of sense
[15:01] <IsoLnCHiP> jrib, Because I assume vbox cant boot 64bit, and I want to be able to use my ubuntu either directly or from win7 in a vbox
[15:02] <saliak> rigved : boo. the channel seems to be screwed up.  no ops and can't send to it
[15:02] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: yes vbox can boot 64 bit even on a 32bit host os!
[15:02] <jrib> IsoLnCHiP: pretty sure vbox can run 64bit.  Ask #vbox
[15:02] <IsoLnCHiP> AbhiJit, Does it also have an option to save and restore settings?
[15:02] <izinucs> IsoLnCHiP: I run 64 bit vbox on kubuntu
[15:02] <AbhiJit> IsoLnCHiP, no
[15:03] <rigved> saliak: are you sure that you have registered your nick?
[15:03] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: aptoncd is of no use if you want to switch to 32 bit
[15:03] <bonjoyee> as the 64 bit packages wont run on 32 bit..
[15:03] <IsoLnCHiP> bonjoyee, So I keep reading, yes, but when I boot grub in vbox it complains about the cpu beein i686 rather than x86_64 ;)
[15:04] <cdbs> !clone | bonjoyee
[15:04] <AbhiJit> IsoLnCHiP, to run 64 bit os in vbox your cpu must support 64 bit virtualization
[15:04] <cdbs> err
[15:04] <rigved> IsoLnCHiP: your CPU should support VT to run x64
[15:04] <cdbs> !clone > IsoLnCHiP
[15:04] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: That method works, but aptoncd won't work if you are moving to 32-bit from 64
[15:05] <IsoLnCHiP> AbhiJit, It does, I specifically bought a CPU to that end. It has full hardware virtualisation support
[15:05] <m4xx> i need to disable the ctrl+f1 hotkey for xserver, i've disabled vt switch but i think the system i still catching it.
[15:05] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP:  check if VT is enabled in BIOS
[15:05] <AbhiJit> ok
[15:05] <m4xx> is there something else i should do to unbind they key combo?
[15:06] <m4xx> i didnt see it anywhere in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts
[15:06] <tmade> hello, i´m running ubuntu server 10.4. how can i add a init script to start a service automatically? if I run "update-rc.d servicename enable" i´m getting:nrpe start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 5), but i set thos runlevels
[15:06] <IsoLnCHiP> bonjoyee, according to the vmware 64 guest check tool everything is set correctly
[15:07] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP:then check if VT is enabled in Vbox ..theres an option there as well
[15:08] <IsoLnCHiP> bonjoyee, Im preatty sure I set the option there too, but I will double check again when I reboot to windows
[15:08] <bonjoyee> IsoLnCHiP: also what version of vbox? latest is 3.2.12!!
[15:08] <rigved> tmade: add the script to /etc/init.d/ then you can set it to run
[15:08] <tmade> my script in "/etc/init.d/service" works perfect as i want
[15:08] <IsoLnCHiP> bonjoyee, If I recall correctly I tryed with 3.2.10 and 12 both with the same result
[15:09] <m4xx> citrix xenclient uses the same key combo to send "ctr+alt+del"
[15:09] <IsoLnCHiP> cdbs, Thanks for the pointer to cloneing, that looks promising
[15:09] <jrib> tmade: you should migrate to upstart
[15:09] <tmade> rigved: i´ve already done...but what to do to make it start on system boot?
[15:09] <tmade> jrib: there´s another way?
[15:10] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: but that would mean that all the packages would be downloaded again when you would run the second command
[15:10] <cdbs> IsoLnCHiP: that's the only way, since you can't use 64-bit packages on 32-bit
[15:10] <pitchzer0> Hey ther
[15:10] <bonjoyee>  tmade:how about adding entry in /etc/rc.local
[15:10] <IsoLnCHiP> cdbs, shouldnt be a problem, got a caching proxy :)
[15:10] <jrib> tmade: well ubuntu has moved to upstart.  the sysv-init scripts will still work but the new way is upstart.  If you don't want to use upstart for some reason, read « man update-rc.d ».  Look for the line with "defaults" in it
[15:11] <simon34> has there any other application like Miro for ubuntu?
[15:11] <bonjoyee>  IsoLnCHiP: for 32 bit as well?
[15:11] <pitchzer0> Can anyone help me: I'm searching someone to help me with a port forwarding problem
[15:11] <goltoof> !ask
[15:11] <IsoLnCHiP> bonjoyee, might be a bit outdated, but I have other boxes in my net running on 32, so most packages might be there.
[15:12] <tmade> bonjoyee: does a script located in /etc/rc.local start automatically?
[15:12] <popey> pitchzer0: seen http://portforward.com/ ?
[15:12] <rigved> tmade: not sure. read jrib ^^. or you could just add the script to cron.daily.. that way it will run almost at start up
[15:12] <pitchzer0> popey: Yes but it didnt solve my problem
[15:12] <goltoof> pitchzer0:  aska away, keep in mind that most networking stuff can also be answered in #networking
[15:12] <bonjoyee> tmade:  you have to add "/etc/init.d/service start" to rc.local..then it does
[15:13] <pitchzer0> i was searching for such a chan thanks!
[15:13] <pitchzer0> Goodbye folks!
[15:13] <jrib> bonjoyee, tmade: no that's not proper at all
[15:13] <goltoof> pitchzer0:  npr
[15:13] <tmade> somebody has a good basic "upstart" script as an example?
[15:13] <jrib> !upstart | tmade
[15:13] <IsoLnCHiP> I think before I start the whole procedure Ill check the #vbox if they have an Idea what I might be missing, but thanks for the advice this far, atleast now I know I would have to reinstall, and have a slightly more comfortable way of doing it.
[15:13] <simon34> has there any other application like ''Miro'' for ubuntu?
[15:13] <bonjoyee>  tmade: but yes update-rc.d is the proper way..
[15:15] <wrd> simon34: miro seems to be usable in ubuntu?
[15:15] <tmade> bonjoyee: i´ve tried now several scripts to add like "update-rc.d servicename enable" ...each script works executed manually...but none on startup
[15:15] <bonjoyee> tmade: not all services are yet moved to upstart..so ones in /etc/init.d/ will work..
[15:15] <ServerTechLaptop> how do i remove a directory which is NOT empty?
[15:15] <jrib> ServerTechLaptop: rm -r
[15:15] <ServerTechLaptop> ty
[15:15] <rigved> tmade: use upstart
[15:15] <NotAnonymous> question: what os are most web servers using?

[15:21] <erik__> hello
[15:22] <NeoCicak> i'm having problem with nvidia driver for 10.10... when i load up the nvidia driver, i get command prompt.... and looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , i can only see "no screen found
[15:22] <chull> i've heard people talking about setting up two partitions on the drive for ubuntu, one for the operating system and one for the home directory. how big does the operating system section need to be?
[15:22] <roxlu> hi! I installed ubuntu 10.10. I'm trying to enable syntax highlighting in VIM, but when I do, :syn on, I get "command not found"
[15:22] <chull> roxlu, maybe ask in #vim ?
[15:22] <roxlu> okay
[15:24] <jrib> roxlu: install a full version of vim, ubuntu comes with only vim-tiny
[15:24] <SergeyIT> chull, for / - 15Gb will be good
[15:25] <chull> SergeyIT, thank you :)
[15:25] <jlmlocal> I'm trying to install Catalyst on my computer. I am following http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Lucid_Installation_Guide  I am using option 3, the restricted drivers manager. I have completed the steps, but when I type fglrxinfo, I get a segmentation fault.
[15:25] <roxlu> ah thanks!
[15:25] <m4xx> I believe my system is capturing ctrl+f1 as a default system shortcut key. can anyone tell me how i might be able to check this? I've looked in gconf-editor and didn't see it anywhere, i've also looked in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts and found nothing, i've also added the DontVTSwitch option to my xorg.conf
[15:26] <m4xx> not sure what else to do
[15:26] <simon34> has there any other application like Miro for ubuntu?
[15:26] <bonjoyee>  simon34: what issues with miro in ubuntu?
[15:27] <NeoCicak> has anyone had success with installing nvidia driver on 10.10 64 bit?
[15:27] <wilhart> some nice messenger for gnome, not pidgin not empathy
[15:27] <bullgard> 'man nmcli': "wifi [on|off]: Inquire or set status of WiFi in NetworkManager.  Without any further argument, WiFi status is printed; on enables WiFi; off disables WiFi." Is the term »WiFi« used here identical with "Wireless" in NetworkManager Applet?
[15:27] <AbhiJit> simon34, if u r in usa then try hulu
[15:27] <Pici> bullgard: yes
[15:27] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: Works fine for me...
[15:28] <goldins> how do I rebuild a package with alternate ./configure options?
[15:28] <SergeyIT> wilhart, pidgin is nice
[15:28] <bullgard> Pici: And why do the 2 programs use different names for the same thing?
[15:28] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: How are you trying to install it?
[15:28] <jlmlocal> Do I need to run aticonfig?
[15:28] <bonjoyee> goldins:get the source and then ./configure --help for options
[15:28] <wilhart> SergeyIT, can i change chat window theme?
[15:28] <NeoCicak> pseubodot:  various ways.. first was through the system-> hardware'
[15:28] <anon33_> i got an error trying to install android-notifier-desktop, has anyone else gotten this to work?
[15:29] <Pici> bullgard: I'd say its a documentation bug.  Wifi and Wireless are synonymous otherwise.
[15:29] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: but that gave me command line... i.e cant get into gnome
[15:29] <bullgard> Pici: Thank you.
[15:29] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: I don't know what the 'proper' way is, but my installation found the hardware, and prompted me to install hardware support
[15:29] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: hmmmm
[15:29] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: try System > Adminstration > Additional Drivers
[15:29] <SergeyIT> wilhart, i don't know. i use standard theme
[15:29] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: thats what i tried
[15:30] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: what card do you have?
[15:30] <CERNUNN0S> Salutations, I have a little curiosity regarding Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Xen support. Does anyone know of a good resource of information I can start with? Rather than boring your with inane questions for an hour or three.
[15:30] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: nvidia 3100 m
[15:30] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: how does your system see it?
[15:30] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: lspci | grep -i vga
[15:31] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: when it failed to load X (i.e. i got command line)... i looked at /var/log/Xorg0.log.. and i saw "no screens found"
[15:31] <lgg> hi
[15:31] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: "(EE) No devices detected. ..... Fatal server error: no screens found"
[15:31] <lgg> 大家好

[15:33] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: hmm
[15:33] <SergeyIT> wilhart, in pidgin there are themes for: buddy list, status icons, sound & smileis
[15:34] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: back up your copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (rename it to something like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[15:34] <jlmlocal> Ok, I restarted my computer, and now it appears that the Catalyst driver is working.
[15:34] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: and try running nvidia-xconfig
[15:34] <wilhart> SergeyIT, i mean chat window ?
[15:34] <lgg> 有人聊天没
[15:34] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: well... my xorg.conf is the one generated by nvidia-config
[15:34] <rigved> !cn | lgg
[15:34] <jlmlocal> Now, however, my window decorations are missing! I don't have the x button or any of the others.
[15:34] <goldins> bonjoyee: right but what if I want to install it as a package afterward?
[15:35] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: actually.... the output from the lspci earlier was 2 rows
[15:35] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: go on

[15:35] <ukd1> hi guys, I'm having some issues with Amazon EC2 & the offical AMI images for Ubuntu 10.10 desktop
[15:35] <ukd1> Could anyone help?
[15:35] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: i got this laptop with that 'nvidia hybrid' thingy
[15:35] <SergeyIT> wilhart, no for chart
[15:35] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: not sure if it has anything to do with my problem though
[15:36] <wilhart> SergeyIT, face book tells me to enter 2 words and when i do it ask me again?!
[15:36] <bullgard> '~$ nmcli nm wifi on' is accepted without complaint. Still, '~$ nmcli nm status; WiFi HARDWARE=diaabled; WIFI=disabled' What went wrong?
[15:36] <Morphix> hey peeps
[15:36] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: could be.
[15:36] <rigved> !br | Stargazer
[15:36] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: can you try what I described?
[15:36] <pksadiq> NeoCicak: try sudo nvidia-xconfig
[15:37] <NeoCicak> i did
[15:37] <NeoCicak> and my xorg.conf is the one from nvidia-xconfig
[15:37] <pseubodot> it might be picking up his existing xorg file
[15:37] <pseubodot> or at least the earlier one
[15:37] <NeoCicak> that will gave me that "error no screens" error mesage
[15:37] <pseubodot> hence moving the file away and re-doing it
[15:37] <NeoCicak> so i had to delete xorg.conf to be able to get back to gnome
[15:38] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: can you turn off the other video card -- I presume it's onboard -- from the bios?
[15:38] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: hmmmm i havent tried that... not sure if i can do that from bios
[15:39] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: or at least set the priority for the video card to the PCI or PCIe slot?
[15:39] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: i'm not sure what you are talking there :(
[15:39] <chull> i have three hard drives and want to reinstall a new Ubuntu on one of them, how can I boot from CD and tell it which drive to write Ubuntu 10.10 on?
[15:40] <chull> er do i want 10.04 for stabile operation?
[15:40] <Pici> chull: Both 10.10 and 10.04 are stable.
[15:40] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: oh... i've also tried to install the driver from NVIDIA... no success either
[15:40] <crickj> chull: the installer gives you the option to choose drives
[15:40] <pksadiq> NeoCicak: and just move the xorg.conf file to xorg.conf.bak and restart your system , this might help you
[15:40] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: don't do that -- use the distribution method
[15:41] <chull> crickj, hmmm it didn't, do i need to set boot from cd in the bios?
[15:41] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: other people have already figured out the pitfalls, you don't want to do that
[15:41] <rigved> chull: boot into live cd and find out the names like /sda/... etc. then select it from the manual partition editor while installing
[15:41] <crickj> chull: you mean the cd won't boot?
[15:41] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: do i need to uninstall the driver from NVIDIA? if so... how can i do it?
[15:41] <chull> crickj, yes it asks about file lists and says it can't initialize
[15:41] <bonjoyee> chull: or disconnect the other drives if posible
[15:42] <bonjoyee> and install ubuntu on the correct one...the safest bet
[15:42] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: the installer has a remove option
[15:42] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: as I recall
[15:42] <crickj> chull: if the cd won't boot properly then it could be corrupt
[15:42] <chull> bonjoyee, ok thanks :) thank you crickj rigved

[15:43] <liminal> I have a problem getting an internet connection when I tether ubuntu to my cell phone

[15:48] <ukd1> Has anyone had experience with the offical ec2 ami's?
[15:48] <amikrop> Hello. How can I get to Firefox from Namoroka?
[15:48] <liminal> I can connect to the hotspot and the usb internet connection gets detected
[15:48] <amikrop> I am facing problems, like disabled Facebook chat
[15:49] <liminal> by when when i try to browse or do anything online i get no connection
[15:49] <IsoLnCHiP> Ok, I dont actually have to switch to 32 bit afterall, all I missed was setting the guest type to 64. Now grub doesnt choke. However now suddenly the initrd cant mount my root fs from LVM anymore, any ideas?
[15:49] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: ok... i just disabled the hybrid thingy in the bios.. and it works now
[15:49] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: but i get a 'nvidia' logo with 'beta driver' label at the bottom >.<
[15:49] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: all software and hardware is beta, NeoCicak :)
[15:50] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: hahah true
[15:50] <NeoCicak> pseubodot: anyway. thanks for the help... glad that i have it working now
[15:50] <pksadiq> liminal: then how does you know that the internet connection is detected? check System > preferences> network
[15:50] <pseubodot> NeoCicak: share and enjoy.
[15:51] <ska> Can I run Ubuntu on a HP s5610f Slimline?
[15:52] <dr4c4n> ska try it out
[15:52] <goltoof_> ska:  why not?
[15:52] <pseubodot> ska: ask I recall, there is a live mode you can test
[15:52] <pseubodot> ska: without affecting the existing installed system
[15:54] <IsoLnCHiP> Does anyone by chance know which drivers for the HD I need to run ubuntu from within vbox? ( I didnt install it within vbox, so Im guessing the initrd doesnt have the right drivers )
[15:54] <matrixoracle> is there a channel for wine help ?

[15:55] <jianfei> i am in china and find the apt-get updates, upgrades extremely slow. i checked the sources.list and they are set for CN, are there any other sources around this region that might be faster? if so please let me know..
[15:55] <MadRobot> Hi all
[15:56] <bullgard> '~$ nmcli nm wifi on' is accepted without complaint. Still, '~$ nmcli nm status; WiFi HARDWARE=disabled; WIFI=disabled' What went wrong?
[15:56] <liminal> pksadiq okay ive 'tethered' my andriod via usb
[15:56] <liminal> i get a wired network connection 'auto usb0' active showing
[15:57] <pksadiq> jianfei: Select your self, from the Download from menu , select Other and then select "Select Best Server", ubuntu will find one for you
[15:57] <MadRobot> I have added a collection of photos to the list of background images, and I would like them to change automatically every once in a while. How do I do that?
[15:57] <pksadiq> liminal: can you connect to internet now?
[15:57] <ali> türk varmı_?
[15:58] <ska> pseubodot: I wonder if Fry's has a floor model I can test..
[15:58] <Metaphysicist> I am currently running Ubuntu 10.10 with OpenBox. If I enable remote desktop through the regular gnome desktop, will it still be functional in OpenBox? i.e. Will I still be able to control the screen and have a full GUI within OpenBox?
[15:58] <jianfei> pksadiq.. thx
[15:58] <mrstocks> Owwwww where is DOG! !!!!
[15:58] <mrstocks> its a better cat !
[15:58] <mrstocks> E: Couldn't find package dog
[15:59] <tsimpson> mrstocks: if you have a support question, you should ask it
[15:59] <ali> türkiş ??
[15:59] <mrstocks> where is bitchx and dog in ubuntu
[15:59] <IdleOne> !turkey
[15:59] <liminal> pksadiq testing it now
[15:59] <liminal> seems to be working today
[15:59] <liminal> maybe yesturday was a glitch
[16:01] <pksadiq> liminal: nothing is stable, eventhough we name some so ;)
[16:01] <Morphix> can anyone assist me in making my onboard NIC and USB work?
[16:01] <sbalmos> Apparently the default in Chromium when star-dragging to the desktop is to save a copy of the HTML, rather than creating a URL shortcut file. Any way to change that behavior?
[16:02] <Jemt> Hi. How can I reach the GRUB boot prompt from the 10.10 Live CD ?
[16:02] <Jemt> I need to boot Ubuntu from an external hard drive which cannot be booted directly. So I need to use the Live CD as a boot CD
[16:02] <crickj> Jemt: the live cd does not (as far as I know) use grub to boot
[16:03] <Jemt> Oh :-/
[16:03] <Jemt> Is it possible to somehow "switch" from the live environment to the installation on the hard drive? (chrooting is not what I want)
[16:03] <Morphix> can anyone assist me in making my onboard NIC and USB work please?
[16:04] <crickj> Jemt: you can boot directly from the external drive if your bios supports usb booting
[16:04] <Jemt> Unfortunately, it doesn't
[16:04] <bullgard> jianfei: Synaptic > Settings > Repositories > Ubuntu Software > (Downloadable from the Internet) > Download from > Other... > (for example:) Taiwan.
[16:05] <crickj> Jemt: Ah... sorry can't help
[16:05] <Jemt> Thanks anyways :)
[16:05] <Morphix> can anyone assist me in making my onboard NIC and USB work?
[16:05] <pksadiq> Jemt: or you might also have an option to select the hard drive priority
[16:06] <jianfei> pksadiq.. bullgard, thx I ran the test and it still chose china, so i guess i will just have to wait patiently, must be the net speed on this connection
[16:06] <bullgard> !network |  Morphix:
[16:06] <Jemt> pksadiq: Yes, I'm aware of that. The PC doesn't support USB booting. But thank you :)
[16:06] <Morphix> I dont think that my installation is recognising them
[16:07] <Jemt> Morphix:
[16:07] <Jemt> Morphix: What gave you that impression ?
[16:07] <bullgard> jianfei: You can selct other server (countries) by hand yourself.
[16:07] <Morphix> because "lsusb" shows nothing
[16:07] <bullgard> s/selct/select/
[16:07] <Jemt> Morphix: Don't you have a USB device to test with ?
[16:08] <Morphix> let me test that
[16:09] <ska> Using the ubuntu website for creating a USB bootable image, I used hdiutil as the recommended (for osx system). the resulting file was identical to the .iso file.
[16:09] <BluesKaj> Jemt, what about mounting the outboard , Mount any Drive with write permissions: 'mount -o remount,rw /path/to/drive' , then try to add it to places in nautilus
[16:09] <Jemt> ?
[16:10] <Metaphysicist> If I run OpenBox on Ubuntu 10.10 and enable remote desktop, will I be able to control the computer from another Linux system while it is within OpenBox? Or do I HAVE to have the Gnome desktop running for GUI Remote Desktop to be functional?
[16:10] <wrd> Metaphysicist: depends on what remote desktoping you mean? basically X gives you the possibility to just export a single window ...
[16:11] <BluesKaj> oops Jemt ..sorry that won't work without an hdd installation
[16:11] <barfster> I have psubuntu installed on my PS3’s OtherOS, but consider to move to newer Firmware that does not have OtherOS, and then I’d have to debootstrap lucid /mnt/sdc
[16:11] <barfster> But which filesystem should I make? ext2? ext4?
[16:11] <Metaphysicist> wrd: The default Remote Desktop function in Ubuntu is what I mean. With full desktop control, remotely.
[16:12] <BluesKaj> /me tries get rid of the ubuntu brain cobwebs
[16:12] <goltoof_> barfster: didn't they disable dual booting?
[16:12] <barfster> goltoof_: Yes, but mine is JBed and I can run AsbestOS
[16:12] <wrd> Metaphysicist: well - if it's using vnc it should be possible to use any window manager not just gnome ;)
[16:12] <barfster> AsbetOS is a boot mechanism for PS3 to load Linux through netboot.
[16:13] <barfster> I might tweak it to load from USB
[16:13] <Metaphysicist> wrd: Thanks.
[16:13] <goltoof_> barfster: oic.. cool
[16:13] <goltoof_> barfster:  yea, usb boot would be sweet
[16:13] <barfster> goltoof_: http://marcansoft.com/blog/2010/10/asbestos-running-linux-as-gameos/
[16:13] <goltoof_> barfster:  still haven't retreived the 10g i took up last time I tried running yellowdog
[16:14] <barfster> goltoof_: his distro is gentoo though... says something about stages...
[16:14] <Hekos> too much time ?

[16:15] <goltoof_> ksbalaji:  make sure it's not grass
[16:15] <ubuntu> i try to install ubuntu desktop 10.10... but this stupid cant see my disk
[16:16] <Jemt> I got Ubuntu to boot from the USB device. I had Grub installed on the internal hard drive, so I simply copied the Ubuntu kernel and initrd image to the internal hard drive, and booted it from there. Pretty simple :)
[16:16] <ksbalaji> itaylor57: ha! It should be brown then!
[16:16] <wilde> quit
[16:16] <wilde> sorry
[16:16] <ksbalaji> goltoof_: not scorched yet

[16:17] <itaylor57> !grub | ubunt
[16:17] <wilde> can any one help me with server with scsi + ubuntu 10.04 and update-grub on priv ??
[16:17] <infid> if foo is a symlink to a directory and you do 'rm -rf foo/' it doesn't remove the directory foo/. is that a safety mechanism of symlinks?
[16:17] <wilde> pleas :D
[16:18] <ubuntu> help help help plz plz plz
[16:18] <barfster> ubuntu: help what?
[16:18] <ubuntu> help me to install ubuntu 10.10
[16:18] <barfster> ubuntu: I am not able to user your controls
[16:19] <barfster> Who cares which version there is
[16:19] <barfster> What is the problem?
[16:19] <ksbalaji> any idea to tweak googleearth image? - set right patches?
[16:19] <itaylor57> ubuntu: you need grub2
[16:19] <infestor> how do you guys update to RC kernels in ubuntu?
[16:19] <ubuntu> cant see my disk, i mean it cant see /dev/sda partitions
[16:19] <infestor> is there a PPA for this?
[16:19] <SergeyIT> ubuntu, run gparted from liveCD and look disk
[16:20] <infestor> !upgrade
[16:20] <ubuntu> ok i'll  trygparted now
[16:20] <spencer_> What kind of "technical difficulties" is the IRC server experiencing, anyone know?
[16:21] <ubuntu> gparted show everything normally.... i am confused now
[16:21] <ubuntu> but existed ext4 it see as ext3 :(
[16:22] <ElNota> spencer_: #freenode for help about IRC network
[16:22] <ubuntu> i am afraid to lost data of my ext4
[16:22] <Jemt> What? When I write 'aptitide update', Ubuntu reports: The program aptitude can be found in the following packages....
[16:22] <Jemt> Doesn't Ubuntu include aptitude ?
[16:22] <mouka> How can I control the CPU fan on my laptop? The CPU fan is always on!
[16:22] <llutz> Jemt: not longer by default, apt-get install aptitude
[16:22] <crickj> ubuntu: I think ext4 is backward compatable with ext3, so the difference doesn't matter
[16:23] <Jemt> Puzzles me. I though aptitude did a better job regarding clean up ?!
[16:23] <SergeyIT> ubuntu, first test it from gparted
[16:23] <Jemt> thought*
[16:23] <llutz> Jemt: it does but it seems to need less space on live-cd...
[16:23] <IdleOne> Jemt: that was true a few years ago, now both apt and aptitude are very good a dependency handling
[16:23] <ubuntu> what mean tested? from gparted?
[16:23] <Jemt> Ah, I see. Thank you :)
[16:23] <barfster> Is ext2 good enough for lucid?
[16:23] <Sub_Zero> I'm created a file in bash and now I'm needing to give it a unique file name. This could be a random string. How can I perform such?
[16:24] <Jemt> IdleOne: Glad to hear that. I'll stick with apt-get then :)
[16:24] <IdleOne> Jemt: I use aptitude all the time :)
[16:24] <Jemt> I go way back to Debian - can't blame me ;)
[16:24] <mouka> anybody knows why the CPU fan on my HP-6735 is always on?
[16:25] <spencer_> Anyone waiting for general troubleshooting?
[16:25] <mouka> it is blowinf cold air
[16:25] <goltoof_> how do i toggle colors in cli?
[16:25] <IdleOne> spencer_: what is your question?
[16:25] <ne7work> how to use two commands in terminal on one line
[16:25] <ne7work> with ;
[16:25] <ne7work> ?
[16:25] <mouka> so I don't think the CPU is overheating or something
[16:25] <farsheed> New Pastebin: http://rodmena.com/pastebin
[16:25] <spencer_> Mouka the sensor could be contacting a hot surface like a heatsink
[16:25] <dnivra> ne7work, yeah.
[16:25] <ne7work> dnivra, give me example please?
[16:25] <mouka> spencer_: I don't have that problem when I boot my windows partition
[16:25] <ne7work> dnivra, cd /home/ne7work/hlds ; ./hlds_run -game.. ?
[16:26] <Pici> farsheed: Please don't advertise  here.
[16:26] <dnivra> ne7work, ls;ps
[16:26] <mouka> spencer_: so it must be an Ubuntu issue
[16:26] <farsheed> ok, sorry.
[16:26] <IdleOne> ne7work: sudo command 1; command 2
[16:26] <itaylor57> ne7work: date ; time
[16:26] <goltoof_> how do i toggle colors in cli?
[16:26] <spencer_> mouka was the install from an official liveCD or a home-burnt one?
[16:26] <farsheed> I tought it might be useful.
[16:26] <dnivra> goltoof_, in gnome-terminal Edit -> Profile Preferences -> Colours.
[16:26] <mouka> official install
[16:26] <mouka> with all the updates
[16:26] <goltoof_> dnivra..  I'm using terminator
[16:27] <ubuntu> gpartet see normally... but install manager allocate drive space is empty
[16:27] <goltoof_> dnivra:   local is colored but ssh isn't
[16:27] <spencer_> mouka Hmm... the only reason I asked is that sometimes the home-burnt boot disks are a tad off, not entirely correct
[16:27] <Boo_Boo> anyone tell me what going on with virtualbox-ose, ive installed it but i get an error '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' and says install dkms first but it's already installed ?
[16:27] <ne7work> how to run ./hlds_run from /home/ne7work/hlds?
[16:27] <ubuntu> is any other mode to run installer
[16:27] <ne7work> /home/ne7work/hlds/./hlds_run or how?
[16:27] <dnivra> goltoof_, no clue. never heard of terminator. sorry :).
[16:28] <dnivra> ne7work, /home/ne7work/hlds/hlds_run should do it.
[16:28] <spencer_> mouka there are utilities to see what your CPU core temps are from the repos, try using that and see if it's a reasonable temp
[16:28] <genii-around> SubZero__: Perhaps check out http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html#RANDSTRING for ideas
[16:28] <goltoof_> dnivra:  npr, thx anyway
[16:28] <dnivra> ne7work, '.' is an alias for the current working directory. so if your current working directory is /home/ne7work/hlds, then it's enough to just do './hlds_run'.
[16:28] <slackguru> Last week I had notification from update-manager that Chromium Browser had critical updates but the updated package was not available in the repo I was using. I changed repos and the critical update was not listed. Today I switched to the MAIN SERVER to check to see if the previous notification was a false positive and it turns out it wasn't. Are the repos normally that out of sync?
[16:28] <mouka> I did, and the temperature is well below what would have triggered the fan
[16:29] <ubuntu> no any ideas? :(
[16:29] <spencer_> mouka it could be that the utility controlling the fan is slightly corrupted in ubuntu
[16:29] <itaylor57> slackguru: some use Chromium daily build
[16:29] <wilde> can anyone help with update-grub ??
[16:29] <mouka> spencer_: it probably is, and this is why I am seeking help here
[16:29] <patrunjel> Hi, i am using Ubuntu 10.04 and BOINC doesn't recognize my graphics card, even though i have one.Can somewone please help me set things up, so i can get the best results?  I have a ATI gpu
[16:29] <slackguru> itaylor57, I am not
[16:29] <mouka> what is the utility that controls the fan?
[16:29] <dnivra> Boo_Boo, best you ask in #vbox.
[16:30] <spencer_> You're sure that Windows has no problems with the fan? Also, how is it dual-booted? Please don't say wubi
[16:30] <ubuntu> is possible to run 10.10 installer in text mode???
[16:30] <bonjoyee> today i compiled ffmpeg from source...for that i also compiled libtheora from source and installed in /usr/local/lib
[16:30] <slackguru> itaylor57, it turns out there were many other packages in need of critical updating
[16:30] <bonjoyee> libtheora is also there in /usr/lib...now when a program need libtheora which one does it take?
[16:30] <bullgard> ubuntu The Alternate CD has an installer in text-mode.

[16:31] <farsheed> how?
[16:31] <gobbe> :-)
[16:31] <IdleOne> see #freenode for help
[16:32] <goltoof_> vi keeps telling me i have multiple swap files whenever i open, even after i just saved and closed.  how do i delete the other swap files?
[16:32] <unimatrix9> any one here has an working usb - utp print server ? Ubuntu ...
[16:32] <BluesKaj> farsheed, try it in the server textbox
[16:32] <unimatrix9> brand name
[16:32] <spencer_> mouka may I PM you?
[16:32] <unimatrix9> etc..
[16:32] <mouka> yes of course
[16:32] <slackguru> I see a problem with the repos being out of sync, does anyone else have this issue?
[16:32] <wrd> goltoof_: vim even asks you to delete those swapfiles iirc
[16:32] <Pici> slackguru: In what way are they 'out of sync'?
[16:33] <wrd> goltoof_: otherwise vim calls it's swap files .filename.swp
[16:33] <goltoof_> wrd:  yes it does :)
[16:33] <bullgard> '~$ nmcli nm wifi on' is accepted without complaint. Still, '~$ nmcli nm status; WiFi HARDWARE=disabled; WIFI=disabled' What went wrong?
[16:33] <bonjoyee> i.e if there are multiple versions of same lib (say libavcodec.so.1) in /usr/lib as well as in /usr/local/lib which one is used?
[16:33] <slackguru> Pici, The repo I was using listed no updates necessary and when I switch to the main ubuntu server i had 49 critical updates
[16:33] <goltoof_> wrd:  D did it thx
[16:33] <Pici> slackguru: Which mirror were you using?
[16:33] <Jemt> I now have a "default" Ubuntu environment running. Is it possible to remove a few meta-packages to bring the system to a state more similar to a server installation? (no desktop, no office applications etc?). I'm building a "kiosk" system which is supposed to run on a simple Window Manager and a browser
[16:33] <wrd> goltoof_: you can also use :set noswapfile
[16:33] <wrd> goltoof_: that prevents it from creating one in the first place :)

[16:34] <goltoof_> wrd:  i use vim specifically for the swap file.

[16:35] <bonjoyee> patrickw: or lsb-release -a
[16:35] <goltoof_> wrd:  so i don't lose my notes.. better than gedit imho

[16:38] <bonjoyee> Jemt: you could install a minimal install from alternate-cd of from minimal cd..
[16:39] <bonjoyee> if there are multiple versions of same lib (say libavcodec.so.1) in /usr/lib as well as in /usr/local/lib which one is used?
[16:39] <Jemt> bonjoyee: Thank you, I know. Remastering the Live CD is what I want though.
[16:39] <patrickw> bonjoyee:  that would be even better, but my quite limited centos vm image doesn't have that command and the package has a ton of unnecessary dependencies.  :(
[16:40] <wrd> bonjoyee: it depends. on either LD_LIBRARY_PATH or on how you invoked ./configure

[16:42] <bullgard> Jemt: First remove the metapackages you distrust. Then remove the ordinary packages which you do not need.
[16:42] <Pici> slackguru: I use the kernel.org archive, its rather fast and up to date.
[16:43] <patrunjel> Hi, i am using Ubuntu 10.04 and BOINC doesn't recognize my graphics card, even though i have one. I have a ATI gpu, i don't know the version :) Can somewone help me install it on my Ubuntu, please?

[16:44] <dnivra> y0_, View -> User list. ensure it's checked.
[16:44] <bullgard> Jemt: Yes, this hand procedure is kind of hard.
[16:44] <dnivra> y0_, for any more queries related to xchat i suggest you head to #xchat.
[16:44] <Jemt> bullgard: Thanks for the input :)
[16:44] <slackguru> Pici, Thanks for the suggestion but Kernel.org is listed as one week behind
[16:44] <y0_> ok...ty
[16:45] <Pici> slackguru: the us one is, but there is another entry on that list that is one day behind.
[16:45] <craiggles> hey guys, joined about a week ago about my ext hdd, appartly it's got bad hardware, it works fine with xp, although i cant get windows to format it (xp/7), im just connecting to get the error.
[16:46] <crickj> craiggles: what error?
[16:46] <barfster> When installing lucid, is ext2 new enough? Or do I have to use ext4?
[16:47] <digitalfiz> testing
[16:47] <Pici> barfster: ext2 is fine.
[16:47] <IdleOne> barfster: ext3 is good also
[16:47] <dnivra> barfster, course ext4 is the newest of them all :)
[16:48] <Okitain> Ext2 is ancient
[16:48] <Okitain> Ext3 is good
[16:48] <Okitain> ext4 is generally good, as Google folks say/
[16:48] <craiggles> crickj: im just plugging it in to get the precise erro.
[16:49] <barfster> ext2 and 3 is the same fs? no? just ext3 has added journaling?
[16:49] <barfster> Like HFS without/with journaling?
[16:50] <craiggles> crickj: now i cant even find it in Places, what command should i use to find it? it's name is Elements.
[16:50] <crickj> craiggles: System -> Admin -> Disk Utility - see if it's listed
[16:50] <Okitain> Yeah, and ext3 is slower thanks to it.
[16:51] <slackguru> Pici, thanks for the list it was a big help
[16:51] <Okitain> ext4 is faster.
[16:51] <patrunjel> Hi, i am using Ubuntu 10.04 and BOINC doesn't recognize my graphics card, even though i have one. I have a ATI gpu, i don't know the version :) Can somewone help me install it on my Ubuntu, please?
[16:51] <craiggles> crickj: yeah it's listed.
[16:52] <craiggles> "disk is healthy"
[16:52] <crickj> craiggles: but it doesn't auto-mount?
[16:52] <Boo_Boo> to check if you have a package already installed what apt command do you use ?
[16:52] <craiggles> crickj: seems not, i'm sure it was in the places menu but didn't mount.
[16:53] <IdleOne> Boo_Boo: apt-cache policy package
[16:54] <crickj> craiggles: what filesystem is on it? ntfs?
[16:54] <craiggles> Yeah.
[16:54] <Boo_Boo> thanks IdleOne
[16:54] <IdleOne> welcome
[16:54] <Okitain> How do I change my synclient settings so that they are actually stored
[16:54] <Okitain> ?
[16:55] <crickj> craiggles: Disk Utility should have a mount button when you click on the disk partition
[16:56] <craiggles> crickj: format drive, SMART data, safe removal, benchmark.
[16:56] <craiggles> is create partion the *wrong* option?
[16:57] <crickj> cariggles: you might need to click on the extended partition below the logical one
[16:57] <crickj> i.e. the one that says NTFS on it
[16:58] <Okitain> How do I change my synclient settings so that they are actually stored?

[17:03] <IdleOne> Aihetleos: also you will need to install compizconfig-settinds-manager
[17:03] <IdleOne> Aihetleos: also you will need to install compizconfig-settings-manager
, thanks
[17:04] <IdleOne> then spend 3 days setting it all up and never use it again :)

[17:12] <JustinTArthur> Hey, with Ubuntu 10.10 amd64, if I select "Install alongside other operating systems", it tries to shrink my Windows partition instead of filling out into the free space I've got on the drive. Am I stuck with manually partitioning?
[17:12] <KM0201> JustinTArthur: pretty much
[17:14] <deww> elik: i have a feeling that's a thinkpad  issue. i've seen that on quite a few thinkpads running non linux based OSes as well
[17:15] <elik> deww: it's been a while since I had windows on this machine
[17:15] <elik> deww: but I don't remember having that issue
[17:15] <red2kic> JustinTArthur: Ubuntu does not use NTFS.
[17:15] <deww> elik: i've seen this issue with much older units tho (pentium 2 days)
[17:15] <Jemt> Is there a way to remove all language packages except a few select ?
[17:16] <Kartagis> mount says rw, cp says read-only file system. what gives?

[17:29] <induz> but How V????
[17:29] <jarle> Any help on this apparmor problem? http://paste.ubuntu.com/544102/ I'm guess it might be related to me chmod'ing my ~ 700
[17:29] <induz> how can untar a file
[17:29] <dajhorn> nimbiotics: Welcome.
[17:29] <craiggles> crickj: also the loading icon is there there..i don't know why.
[17:30] <jarle> induz: "man tar" gives you "tar xvf <file>"
[17:30] <crickj> craiggles: if you want to create an ext4 filesystem on it (which guruplug will be able to use) then Linux 0x83 is correct
[17:31] <craiggles> good good, you have any idea what's happening? why it is that: "A job is pending on /dev/sdb1"
[17:31] <crickj> craiggles: but if you want an ntfs filesystem on it, then choose hpfs/ntfs 0x07
[17:31] <arox> I'm so lost with all this stuff. :(
[17:31] <sacarlson> jarle: ya looks like apparmor problem so what do you need to know about apparmor?
[17:32] <jarle> sacarlson: how do I solve the problem? (get rid of errors)
[17:32] <craiggles> crickj: righto, nah just linux is fine because ill be using the guru as my file server..i just don't know exactly what is doing, i mean is it stil creating the partion or..
[17:32] <craiggles> surely it wont be taking this long?
[17:33] <sacarlson> jarle: you need to eather configure apparmor or turn it off http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=812907
[17:33] <crickj> craiggles:  I've never formatted a 2tb drive before, but I guess it'll take a while
[17:33] <tacidsky> Hello, Is there a way to disable the screen blanking in Ubuntu Server? all I can find is things for Gnome and KDE disabling it.
[17:34] <dyn> hello?
[17:34] <bullgard> !jack | Hanmac
[17:34] <bullgard> !jpulseaudio | Hanmac
[17:34] <bullgard> !pulseaudio | Hanmac
[17:34] <jarle> sacarlson: so what is apparmor used for anyway?
[17:35] <sacarlson> jarle: here looks to be a method to disable it completly https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor
[17:35] <melter> is it possible to make a copy of a "search folder" in evolution?
[17:35] <dajhorn> tacidsky:  If you're not running X11 (like Gnome or KDE), then run `setterm -blank 0`.   See also /etc/default/console and the console utils.
[17:35] <sacarlson> jarle: it put a restriction of what a certain application is allowed to write to and read from
[17:35] <tacidsky> Thank you dajhorn
[17:35] <arox> My screen just went blank. Hm.
[17:35] <dajhorn> tacidsky: Welcome.
[17:35] <dyn> i'm using ubuntu 10.10, just upgraded, and my keymapping for 1 letter is not working, the letter d... it minimizes windows to go straight to desktop
[17:36] <dyn> i'm hoping someone can help me
[17:36] <dyn> this is only in VNC
[17:36] <dyn> if i'm at the terminal, it works fine..
[17:36] <sacarlson> jarle: it is like a jail or chroot method to keep an application from getting control or access to restricted parts of your system
[17:36] <dyn> i'm on a mac, using vnc to connect to my server, but without the letter d, it becomes really challenging to work
[17:36] <dyn> all the other keys work
[17:36] <dyn> any thoughts?
[17:37] <jarle> sacarlson: ok, guess problems are related to me moving /home to a different place and just symlinking to the new...
[17:37] <sacarlson> jarle: yes that could cause such a problem since the symlink location has the same restrictions at the point it links to
[17:37] <crickj> dyn:  Go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts and check the window management section
[17:39] <sacarlson> jarle: I have spend 2 days on almost the same problem so don't feel bad,  I thought I knew all about the security of linux but they added this new layer
[17:40] <dyn> crickj: YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!
[17:40] <dyn> thanks alot
[17:41] <crickj> gyn: no probs
[17:41] <crickj> dyn: no probs
[17:41] <jarle> sacarlson: guess I have to read up a bit then...
[17:41] <arox> Can someone help me with my ubuntu dual boot please? :(
[17:42] <nimbiotics> dajhorn: this #asterisk channel is empty ... any other one i could use?
[17:42] <sacarlson> jarle: it's not imposible once you have a clue where to look
[17:42] <nimbiotics> dajhorn: sorry, its all good
[17:43] <sacarlson> nimbiotics: telephony?
[17:44] <SaFi2266> anyone help me to broadcast local redio station i have ununtu server and tv tuner
[17:44] <jarle> sacarlson: not quite sure if I understand why moving /home and then create a symlink would give me this problem?
[17:44] <Pici> nimbiotics: #asterisk is not empty, but you need to be registered and identified to join.
[17:44] <nimbiotics> sacarlson, yes
[17:44] <nimbiotics> Pici: got it, thx'
[17:44] <m15k> hi is it possible to confige gnome terminal to highlight a line with an other color
[17:44] <sacarlson> jarle: remember the application is jailed to only the directories allowed in the apparmor configs
[17:45] <patrunjel> Hi, i am using Ubuntu 10.04 and BOINC doesn't recognize my graphics card, even though i have one. I have a ATI gpu, i don't know the version :) Can somewone help me install it on my Ubuntu, please?
[17:45] <c00kiemon5ter> hi people
[17:45] <patrunjel> hi
[17:46] <sacarlson> nimbiotics: off topic but what do you want something like skype with audio over ip?
[17:46] <c00kiemon5ter> a friend of mine screwed up his sound configuration
[17:46] <jarle> sacarlson: oki, so it sees that the path is now "expanded" to /biggen2/home/ instead of just /home, and then it reacts?
[17:46] <c00kiemon5ter> so now he reinstalled asla-* but there's no /proc/asound/cards
[17:46] <llutz> !info liblo0ldbl
[17:46] <sacarlson> jarle: ok you may need to restart it after you make the change before it take effect

[17:47] <RoboIRC> hi all
[17:47] <RoboIRC> can i install android x86 on any pc?!?
[17:48] <nimbiotics> sacarlson: no. I want 2 know if its possible to use a soft phone with a landline thru a modem on a windows machine
[17:48] <Jemt> Do I need to invoke a second command after this?  dpkg --set-selections < states.txt
[17:48] <willi_> help
[17:48] <c00kiemon5ter> !info alsa
[17:49] <q99999> alsa is often added.
[17:49] <c00kiemon5ter> what does that mean ?
[17:50] <sacarlson> nimbiotics: well again off topic but I can tell you yes,  assume you mean data over landline that can give you 56kb and you only need 10kb to do audio,  the windows part makes no difference
[17:50] <c00kiemon5ter> the bot died I think
[17:50] <RoboIRC> anybody?
[17:50] <SaFi2266> is possible to arrange icons in gnome as group like windows??
[17:50] <dajhorn> nimbiotics: #asterisk is populated.  Maybe you need to be logged-in.
[17:50] <q99999> ?whats the alsa question cookiemon5ter
[17:51] <IdleOne> RoboIRC: this is an Ubuntu channel, not android.
[17:51] <c00kiemon5ter> q99999: the question is how I can make a new /proc/asound/cards file
[17:51] <nimbiotics> sacarlson: no, what i'd like 2 do is make phone calls this way

[17:55] <sbeck_> patrunjel, is there a driver for it installed

[17:55] <RoboIRC> !repeat | ubottu
[17:55] <shahid_> i need help
[17:55] <RoboIRC> hmm smart bot
[17:56] <sbeck_> shahid_, ask your question, please, don't ask to ask.
[17:56] <patrunjel> sbeck_, no, i haven't installed nothing...i just need to install the driver for a ATI gpu (i don't know the model) so an application can use it...
[17:56] <brontoeee>  RoboIRC why, i know my name as well and everyone thinks iam dumb
[17:56] <arox> sbeck, I asked a few questions and never got any answer or acknowledgement. :\
[17:56] <sbeck_> patrunjel, what does jockey say ?
[17:57] <shahid_> the problem is that i installed ubuntu on win xp sp2.now when i restart i dn get the option to chose between os
[17:57] <mengu> hi. i was checking the packages and i saw that "ruby1.9.1 (1.9.2.0-1) [universe]"
[17:57] <patrunjel> sbeck_, sorry, what is jockey? i'm new to ubuntu :)
[17:57] <mengu> why the name doesn't match the version? if (1.9.2.0-1) is the version?
[17:57] <sbeck_> shahid_, it seems that the bootloader isn't installed in the right place.
[17:58] <sbeck_> !grub
[17:58] <induz> how do I get Hindi dictionary to work on OO
[17:58] <shahid_> ok.what should i do?
[17:58] <IsoLnCHiP> Any ideas how to setup X to use the ati drivers when run on real hardware and the guest additions when run in virtualbox? Ideally with autosensing? :)
[17:58] <sbeck_> shahid, look in ubottu's answer.
[17:59] <shahid_> i dont get it?
[17:59] <sbeck_> patrunjel, try this: ALT + F2 -> jockey -> ENTER

[18:00] <shahid_> ok.thank you very much
[18:00] <cap> I just burned an ISO, now it's creating a checksum.  It's going to take 2 and half hours!  DO i need to let this finish?
[18:00] <nemo> but I'm wondering if there's a way to check what it thinks it is doing
[18:00] <patrunjel> sbeck_, the driver was not activated :) thanks a lot
[18:00] <sbeck_> You're welcome.
[18:00] <sbeck_> :-)
[18:00] <induz> OO--Tools--language-- it takes me here
[18:01] <dajhorn> nemo:   Those repos are currently up and have good sigs.  Pastebin the error message.
[18:01] <crickj> cap: I suspect the time estimation is wrong
[18:03] <liminal> hello
[18:03] <Sub_Zero> I'm creating a debian package to install my GTK theme. It needs to go in the users $HOME/.themes/ folder. The deb package however will be executed as root. So I can't use the former string as it will copy it to the Root's themes folder.
[18:04] <alterego> How does ubuntu know when you're playing a file that requires restricted extra codecs and can therefore prompt the user to download the required package?
[18:04] <alterego> I'm working on a similar integration and I'll like to know how it's done :)
[18:04] <nemo> dajhorn: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/544114/
[18:05] <thomc> If I install xfce4 on top of a standard ubuntu  install, will it xfce run any slower than it would if it was the only install
[18:05] <nemo> dajhorn: running strace on apt-get update shows a lot of "no such file" for gpg stuff
[18:05] <erUSUL> Sub_Zero: install in /usr/share/themes/ where it belongs
[18:05] <thomc> ...ed desktop environment
[18:05] <sacarlson> alterego: I guess the header of the file has some info that is read to tell what codec is needed to play it or view it
[18:05] <nemo> dajhorn: /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_Release.gpg
[18:05] <nemo> etc
[18:05] <nemo> dajhorn: is that normal?
[18:05] <Sub_Zero> erUSUL I tried that but it didn't appear in the themes tab along with the others
[18:05] <dajhorn> nemo:  Run `sudo apt-get clean` and try again.    Don't force anything if APT is complaining about the ftpmaster@ubuntu.com key.
[18:06] <alterego> sacarlson: that's sort of what I was thinking.
[18:06] <sacarlson> alterego: there must be libs that have been already been written that can do that for you
[18:06] <nemo> dajhorn: still errors
[18:06] <erUSUL> Sub_Zero: maybe you missed some essential step? look how other themes are packaged ( package human-theme for instance )
[18:06] <alterego> sacarlson: egain, exactly what I was thinking ;)
[18:06] <safinaskar> ubuntu, kubuntu and a lot of other linuxes have cool feature: RECORD OF SCREEN VIDEO! :)) you know if you press key PrintScreen you will make screenshot. and you will see save dialog. well, if you press Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen-B you will start to make video. (b is begin). and if you press Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen-E video will stop. (e is end). and you will see save dialog with many formats (avi, mp4, etc). so, try it! press Ctrl-Alt-
[18:06] <safinaskar> PrintScreen-B
[18:06] <dajhorn> nemo:   Try a different mirror.   Substitute us.archive for ca.archive, and then revert later.
[18:07] <nemo> dajhorn: m'k. although that presumably won't help the others
[18:07] <sacarlson> alterego: well if no one tells you best thing to do is look at the source code of a program that you know can do this check and find out how it does it
[18:07] <dajhorn> nemo:  No.  BTW,  us.archive.ubuntu.com is working properly for me right now.
[18:07] <nemo> dajhorn: btw. there are 5 gpg files under /var/lib/apt/lists - fingerprint-gui, ubuntu audio team, maverick securit and maverick updates
[18:07] <rothchild> hi, does anyone know about using https://ts3.flightplanningonline.co.uk/ with ubuntu maverick. It worked fine in earlier versions but now all that happens is it asks me if I want to open the app with java webstart, I say yes, it downloads a .xjnlp file and does nothing more?!
[18:07] <nemo> dajhorn: presumably the contents of security.ubuntu.com should match yours? if I ran an md5sum?
[18:08] <alterego> sacarlson: yeah, doing that now ;)
[18:08] <dajhorn> nemo: a66d95d5fd3e4891e0731c04622239ca *./security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick-security_Release.gpg
[18:09] <sacarlson> alterego: never herts to ask you might find someone with a better answer
[18:09] <JustinTArthur> KM0201 and red2kic - just an FYI for the windows partition install issue I was having. Apparently, the "Alternate Installer" still has the "use the largest contiguous free space" option for guided partitioning. So, I'm good to go, though it's annoying it's been removed from the Live CD installer.
[18:09] <nemo> dajhorn: 'cause that'd be b40c4d1b28a7c6bdd5ed4e084710122a for security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick-security_Release.gpg
[18:09] <dajhorn> nemo:  We have different GPG files.
[18:09] <Lazyvee> hello everyone, i've got a problem upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 and I hope someone can help! My laptop froze while upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 and now when I start the OS it says files are missing and freezes on the login screen. What shoul I do?
[18:10] <nemo> dajhorn: http://m8y.org/tmp/gpg/ - all my gpg files
[18:10] <crickj> Lazyvee: I would backup personal data and install 10.10 from scratch
[18:10] <nemo> dajhorn: hm. this is moderately worrying...
[18:11] <B45h_V|> anyone having a OCZ Revodrive or OCZ Revodrive X2?
[18:11] <dajhorn> nemo:  I can't click that link.   Download the file manually and compare it:  http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/Release.gpg
[18:12] <nemo> m'k
[18:12] <arox> I just need help updating my netbook from Xubuntu to Ubuntu Netbook.  I've already run the update, I just can't seem to get Xubuntu off of here.
[18:12] <Lazyvee> crickj: alright, seems simpler than I thought :-) thanks
[18:12] <DexterLB> hello, I have a problem: on my ubuntu-server, DNS lookups are dead slow. I have had that trouble on ubuntu desktops, and I have fixed it by disabling ipv6. I disabled ipv6 on the server too though, but it doesn't help. Any ideas?
[18:12] <goltoof_> Lazyvee, what's the problem? sometimes i'll recomend reinstall when it was something simple
[18:12] <nemo> dajhorn: they are indeed different
[18:13] <arox> Am I muted or just crazy? Haha
[18:13] <dajhorn> nemo: Okay, you indeed have a problem.
[18:13] <B45h_V|> anyone having an OCZ Revodrive or OCZ Revodrive X2?
[18:13] <nemo> dajhorn: 34 chars of the sig are identical. then it changes.
[18:13] <dajhorn> nemo:   Is APT downloading things through a proxy?
[18:13] <dajhorn> nemo: Do you have any other PPA installed other than TualatriX?
[18:14] <nemo> dajhorn: audio team, tualatrix, fingerprint gui
[18:14] <noobie25> !grub
[18:14] <Lazyvee> goltoof: I don't know what's wrong, but I will just install from scratch, that's much simpler
[18:14] <shebh> hi gyus
[18:14] <JustinTArthur> arox, upgrading from Xubuntu to Ubuntu could be strange. You may want to back up your data and start fresh with Ubuntu.
[18:14] <sacarlson> DexterLB: well the tool for dns is dig,  you also need to look at what you have setup for you dns server by looking at /etc/resolv.conf  you can replace what your ISP gives you with your own bind9 server or you could look at opendns.com
[18:15] <nirazio> What do these commands do? "Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o " "Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update " "Acquire::http::Max-Age "0""
[18:15] <nemo> dajhorn: all the gpg files have recent time stamps. would that be normal?
[18:15] <jpds> nirazio: Disables the caching features of apt.
[18:15] <nemo> dajhorn: 2010-12-13 for all but fingerprint-gui, 2010-12-11 for fingerprint-gui
[18:15] <dajhorn> nemo:   Yes, but the GPG files shouldn't be different than the files on the Ubuntu server.
[18:15] <nirazio> jpds: All those three commands??
[18:15] <B45h_V|> Actually the DNS-server Google offers turned out to be working quite well for me (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) - easy to remember too... :)
[18:15] <stermi> someone can suggest me some good screecast software?
[18:16] <Lazyvee> thanks for helping! see you later with more questions haha
[18:16] <dajhorn> nemo:  I would make a backup of anything that you care about.   This is problem that Should Never Happen.
[18:16] <DexterLB> sacarlson: in resolv i have the default gateway set as nameserver, but nslookup does the lookup instantly so the problem is not with the network
[18:16] <DexterLB> wget lynx etc though take about 30sec to do a dns lookup
[18:16] <B45h_V|> Nixiepixel lately did a review of an advanced screencasting-tool on www.youtube.com/nixiedoeslinux
[18:16] <DexterLB> sacarlson: will try dig now
[18:16] <nemo> dajhorn: there isn't too much I care about. you'd suggest a clean install?
[18:17] <dajhorn> nemo:  Yup.  And be watchful about PPAs.    If you intend to reinstall, then try ppa-purge first.
[18:17] <DexterLB> yep, dig does dns lookup for 84milliseconds, however wget takes 38sec
[18:18] <sacarlson> DexterLB: with dig you can compare performance of what your ISP gives you and others like opendns.com or ?
[18:18] <B45h_V|> sacarlson: german?
[18:18] <DexterLB> sacarlson: dns lookups themselves are ok
[18:18] <DexterLB> dig does them fast
[18:18] <nirazio> jpds: what abt this Acquire::http::Max-Age "0"
[18:18] <DexterLB> but all the rest of software do them slow
[18:19] <sacarlson> DexterLB: a simple test is to ping google.com and see how fast it resolves the ip number before it pings,  no I don't speak german
[18:19] <jpds> nirazio: Max time to keep packages around for.
[18:19] <arox> Hm. I'm trying to use my USB flash drive to boot it, but it's not reading my drive
[18:20] <rothchild> I'm trying to get this app to work in ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/V3QxinS3 is there any reason why it doesn't work in Maverick when it worked in previous versions? Need a Java webapp expert please
[18:20] <arox> When i put it in, it says "according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on"
[18:20] <i_is_broke> arox, does your bios support booting from a usb?
[18:20] <sacarlson> DexterLB: if ping does it fast,  how did you isolate that the problem is DNS then?
[18:20] <arox> Yeah, I already booted Xubuntu onto it and cleared out that crappy Win7 Starter.
[18:20] <arox> It's an Acer Aspire One, running Xubuntu 10.10 right now but I'd prefer Ubuntu Netbook.
[18:21] <DexterLB> sacarlson: well, ping does it instantly but wget sticks on Resolving google.com... for 30sec or so
[18:21] <crickj> arox: is the problem with grub or ubuntu?
[18:21] <nirazio> jpds: And last one Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update ???
[18:21] <coz_> rothchild,   do yhou have  icedtea  or sun java installed?
[18:21] <arox> The main problem is that I installed Ubuntu netbook but it's still booting xubuntu
[18:21] <rothchild> @coz sun (I think) just double checking
[18:21] <sacarlson> DexterLB: well internet speed is never the same,  try change the /etc/resolv.conf and see if it improves or gets worse
[18:22] <coz_> rothchild,   open synaptic package manager  hit Search and type in  icedtea
[18:22] <i_is_broke> arox, when you go to log in , look at the bottom and see if you can change desktops.
[18:22] <arox> Ok brb.
[18:22] <jpds> nirazio: No idea, sorry, it's not mentioned in 'man apt.conf'
[18:23] <theacolyte> I have a laptop and whenever I dock/undock it pushes all the gnome bar stuff over to the smaller resolution. is there a way to avoid this?
[18:23] <rothchild> coz_ yes icedtea is installed
[18:23] <coz_> rothchild,  ok now in synaptic... hit Settings  then repositories
[18:23] <i_is_broke> speaking of java....coffee..:D
[18:23] <rothchild> coz_ do I need medibuntu?
[18:24] <coz_> rothchild,  not for java applications no
[18:24] <rothchild> I have it already (sorry if I'm jumping ahead)
[18:24] <resixian> im looking for a script to perform unattended upgrade from 9.x to 10.10, i have 25 laptops to upgrade
[18:24] <coz_> rothchild,  now when that dialog opes  click the "Other software "  tab
[18:24] <emarkd> Hello
[18:24] <coz_> rothchild,  make sure the partner repos are enabled  then close that and hit the "Reload" button  tell me when that is finished
[18:25] <arox> It worked. :]
[18:25] <smallfoot-> package 'rhyme' was in dapper, hardy, karmic, now its gone, why?
[18:25] <arox> Thank you, i_is_broke. :]
[18:25] <rothchild> coz_ is done
[18:26] <DexterLB> sacarlson: hmm, also disabling ipv6 in kernel parameters fixed it
[18:26] <coz_> rothchild,  ok now hit Search and type in  sun java  and install the sun-java6-plugin and it will pulll down the needed stuff but dont install yet
[18:26] <arox> Now I just have to get my regular laptop to work and I'll be set.
[18:26] <i_is_broke> arox, yw
[18:26] <Pici> smallfoot-: According to LP, its dead upstream. see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhyme/+publishinghistory
[18:26] <rothchild> coz_ yes I can see packages returned by search
[18:27] <rocket16> Hello folks
[18:27] <coz_> rothchild,  after ticking sun java plugin hit Search again and type in icedtea    and right click ALL of the packages listed there for complete removal
[18:27] <arox> Anybody know why when I boot regular Ubuntu on my Dell  it's saying something about Busybox and initramfs and udevd failed while handling..
[18:27] <smallfoot-> but its still useful
[18:27] <sacarlson> DexterLB: my isp doesn't support ipv6,  does 10.10 use a ipv6 tunnel setup now?
[18:27] <smallfoot-> was useful for me
[18:27] <arox> I can type verbatim what it's saying but it's saying input/output error, mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed.
[18:27] <astrostl> 8 LTS: "ssh server 'echo $PATH'" would have the user's interactive path.  10 LTS: the same command only shows the system path.  if logged in fully via ssh, the user's interactive path is again present.  what changed from 8 to 10?
[18:27] <induz> hello
[18:28] <arox> I searched it and tried a suggestion to run a chkdsk on c: through Windows then restart, but it didn't work.
[18:28] <rocket16> Hey guys, an idea just came to my mind. When reinstalling Ubuntu, we need to install/remove specific packages, make changes to wallpapers, settings and so on, add PPAs of our favourite packages and such to customize it as it was. Now, can we just make a bash script or so to automate the process?
[18:28] <rothchild> coz_ ok, can I pull the trigger? ;-)
[18:28] <coz_> rothchild,  yep once the icedtea package are all ready to uninstall go for it
[18:28] <smallfoot-> why ubuntu software center start slow?
[18:28] <sacarlson> DexterLB: I setup an total ipv6 local network and found it almost imposble to support windows without ipv4 but ubuntu is ready
[18:29] <coz_> rothchild,  if you need to play dvds  and othere media leave synaptic opened
[18:29] <Typh> hrm, fresh 10.10 upgrade, my fonts randomly get all weird looking and unreadable. In terminal mostly, but I just noticed it in evolution mail as well. Resizing the window seems to fix it temporarily, and they get more messed up over time.
[18:29] <eaglewatch> Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10?
[18:29] <B45h_V|> rocket16 most of it is done by just keeping your /home direction
[18:29] <eaglewatch> Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10?
[18:29] <jpds> smallfoot-: You have a slow machine?
[18:29] <B45h_V|> *directory
[18:29] <DexterLB> sacarlson: aww that's awesome, but how do you handle outbound connections?
[18:29] <smallfoot-> no its fast
[18:29] <DexterLB> with tunnels?
[18:29] <rocket16> B45h_V|: Thanks, but that wouldn't certainly include/exclude packages, will it?
[18:30] <bitplane> Hi, is there a test app I can use to see what mouse buttons are what? I'd like to get compiz switching working like it does in Windows
[18:30] <B45h_V|> rocket16: it won't but for all I know you can export a list of your installed packages
[18:30] <chemist^> hello everyone, i've got a problem here: i'm trying to compile a driver for my wifi card and i can't get past the point where i do "make" command
[18:30] <sacarlson> DexterLB: in ipv6?  I translated them all to ipv4 since my ISP is only ipv4 and all ipv4 trafic to ipv6 including dns
[18:30] <rocket16> B45h_V|: Ah, thanks.
[18:31] <rothchild> coz_ it's mostly that app I posted but I'm interested nevertheless
[18:31] <DexterLB> sacarlson: so all requests are ipv6 in the network, and gateway translates them to v6?
[18:31] <coz_> rothchild,  ok in synaptic  hit Search and type    ubuntu restricted
[18:32] <coz_> rothchild,   you want to install the ubuntu restricted extras  also if you intend on dvd play back let me know
[18:32] <sacarlson> DexterLB: yes all trafic on lan is ipv6 and all is translated in the router to ipv4
[18:32] <rothchild> coz_ I have all of that stuff, I just didn't clock the different java versions for the flight planning app for my father
[18:32] <coz_> rothchild,  is this 32 or 64 bit system
[18:32] <DexterLB> sacarlson: I'd so like to do that
[18:32] <astrostl> 8 LTS: "ssh server 'echo $PATH'" would have the user's interactive path.  10 LTS: the same command only shows the system path.  if logged in fully via ssh, the user's interactive path is again present.  what changed from 8 to 10?
[18:33] <rothchild> coz_32
[18:33] <coz_> rothchild,  ok in terminal  run this command           sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[18:33] <eaglewatch> Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10?
[18:33] <coz_> rothchild,  then go here   http://packages.medibuntu.org/maverick/w32codecs.html  and at the bottom of the page click the i386  in blue to download the w32codecs and install them as well
[18:34] <sacarlson> DexterLB: I abandoned it since most of my customers couldn't use it with window,  I will have to wait until windows adapts ipv6 without ipv4 stack before I try again
[18:34] <sacarlson> DexterLB: and I thought we only have about 1 -2 years left before ipv4 is totaly full
[18:35] <bitplane> the answer was "xev"
[18:35] <bitplane> :)
[18:35] <coz_> rothchild,  that should take care of media playback ,,,, now you can test that java app to see if it works now
[18:35] <bitplane> x11 event viewer, says mapped buttons when you push them
[18:35] <eaglewatch> Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10?
[18:36] <bitplane> is there a GUI app for configuring the wheelrc thing?
[18:36] <coz_> eaglewatch,  not sure ...did you try the #xubuntu channel ??
[18:36] <induz> ok I have installed Hindi keyboard but now I want to install hindi spell dictionary
[18:36] <induz> how can i do that
[18:36] <induz>  please help me
[18:37] <aggrav8d> hi!  where do i go to ask questions about debugging wierd email issues?  (the kinds of things server admins should know about)
[18:38] <arox> I did some more searching and still cannot find a reason for the initramfs mounting ' error when I try to boot Ubuntu on my laptop....
[18:38] <erUSUL> aggrav8d: maybe a channel for your mta (postfix; exim )? #ubuntu-server?
[18:38] <DexterLB> sacarlson: I'm really looking forward to that day
[18:38] <DexterLB> and I'd like to see bill gates' face when that day comes
[18:38] <theacolyte> Fortunately for Bill Gates, he has basically nothing to do with Microsoft these days
[18:38] <theacolyte> I have a laptop and whenever I dock/undock it pushes all the gnome bar stuff over to the smaller resolution. is there a way to avoid this?
[18:39] <induz> hello
[18:39] <B45h_V|> anyone having an Revodrive (X2)?
[18:40] <rothchild> @coz_ good work the flight planner is working for me now! Awesome. Now just to talk my dad through it!
[18:40] <colinb> Hi all. I am working on a friends computer who is disabled and the hassle of having to unlock his gnome keyring at log in is too much.  Is there a way to automate the keyring login?
[18:41] <sacarlson> DexterLB: well windows has taken a totaly different model in it aproach to tunnel to ipv6 now when needed and still depend on ipv4 for all else, so with tunneling you are totaly dependent on the tunnels that windows has setup for you.  so they can monitor all your trafic
[18:41] <Eber> Guys... I'm trying to use SSHFS but I'm getting an error "Connection reset by peer" with the command "sshfs xxxx@trych.com:/home ~/trych -p XXXX" where xxx is the user and XXXX is the port... any hints?!?

[18:44] <Deddly> I'm having an audio problem. Sound playback is crackly, popping at best (sometimes just a buzz when I change settings in Mixer). The computer is an IBM Thinkpad T-22. Xubuntu 10.04 LTS. DSL works fine though. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
[18:44] <acicula> KM0201: he asked how to get specific permissions, which was already answered above

[18:46] <shubbar> acicula, i still can see 2.6 GB used of the 8GB
[18:46] <arox> :/ Is there anyone who can help with a mounting error in initramfs when I try to boot Ubuntu onto my laptop?
[18:46] <eaglewatch> join #xubuntu
[18:46] <shubbar> acicula, i don't know how to dump raw file
[18:46] <dyn> i've just installed ubuntu 10.10, and nautilus is completely unusable... if i change the desktop background to a solid color and try to choose solid color, is crashes.. if i try to add something to the panel and choose a new icon, it crashes... if i open up Computer, and just type in the directory to scroll down, it crashes.... HELP
[18:47] <acicula> shubbar: is the disk damaged somehow or did your just lose a file that you are trying to recover?
[18:47]  * BluesKaj shrugs , no patience , no reward :P
[18:48]  * arox sighs
[18:48] <acicula> shubbar: if the latter the linked wiki page may have some pointers, as long as you dont write to the disk like add new files you stand a good chance of recovering a file since its probably using something like FAT
[18:48] <shubbar> acicula, seems my card reader corrupted the SD card, it was reading them fine in the camera
[18:49] <shubbar> acicula, when i returned it to the camera it wanted to format the card
[18:49] <Deddly> Nobody know how to fix crackly noises in the audio?
[18:49] <gobbe> dyn: are you sure that your hardware is fully functional, sounds like problems with memory
[18:50] <arox> Or a mounting error when you boot? :(
[18:50] <nemo> Deddly: might want to check PA buffer size
[18:50] <nemo> Deddly: ditto alsa if you're using it
[18:50] <nemo> Deddly: I assume your card does not do HW mixing
[18:50] <dyn> gobbe: I have had no problem using 10.04
[18:50] <BluesKaj> dyn, looks like you have an unstable graphics driver, turn off desktop effects if they're on and look in system hardware for additional drivers, choose the recommended one and install it .
[18:51] <BluesKaj> BBL....mail run
[18:51] <Deddly> nemo: OK thanks for the attention. How do I check PA buffer size?
[18:51] <gobbe> dyn: ok then its not :)
[18:51] <acicula> shubbar: may just be a software error and not an issue with the disk.
[18:51] <dyn> BluesKaj: I believe you are correct
[18:52] <dyn> BluesKaj: on my previous versions, i've had to tweak.. lemme do that..
[18:52] <shubbar> acicula, maybe, but know i want to recover my photos
[18:52] <Deddly> nemo: The sound goes totally crazy when I move the sliders in Mixer
[18:52] <shubbar> erUSUL, photorec seems promising, but the man page is very short
[18:53] <erUSUL> shubbar: its webpage has a step by step tutorial.

[19:06] <Design3r> acicula: Before the load starts increasing the computer stops to write to hdds.
[19:06] <luke_> hasnt been
[19:07] <KM0201> whatever
[19:07] <Design3r> This is a dedicated server.
[19:07] <luke_> i mean its gotta be a quick fit
[19:07] <techbreak> KM0201, done :) cool :)
[19:07] <KM0201> luke_: well, then google will be quicker than the channel
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> luke_: try: wine /path/to/file.exe
[19:07] <telcnas> luke_ what exactly you want to do
[19:07] <KM0201> techbreak: now how to make it do that on boot up.. i'm not very sure..
[19:07] <techbreak> KM0201, thank you very much...
[19:07] <dyn> BluesKaj: so, desktop effects was already disabled.. there are no additional drivers.. lspci shows:
[19:07] <luke_> googled it, couldnt find anything
[19:07] <dyn> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B64 [FireGL V3100 (PCIE)] (rev 80)
[19:07] <dyn> 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B64 [FireGL V3100 (PCIE)] (Secondary) (rev 80)
[19:07] <KM0201> thats kinda weird why it does that
[19:07] <erUSUL> luke_: define "make an exe"? you just give execution permissions?
[19:07] <telcnas> luke_
[19:07] <techbreak> KM0201, oops yeah I am afraid
[19:08] <tok_> ubuntu 10.04 cdrom drives not automounting.  cd has to be in drive for it to work once.  How do I get Ubuntu to see the drive when a new disk in inserted?
[19:08] <KM0201> techbreak: afraid of what?
[19:08] <luke_> every time i give it permission it unchecks itself
[19:08] <acicula> Design3r: dunno, sorry have to go for a bit, visitors
[19:08] <techbreak> KM0201, afraid of how to doing that in boot-up
[19:08] <erUSUL> luke_: maybe the ntfs partition is mounted with "noexec"
[19:08] <Design3r> acicula: ok
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: sounds like s/he's trying to run an executable from an ntfs partition
[19:08] <KM0201> techbreak: so the command worked to enable your wireless, right?
[19:08] <telcnas> iuke_ u have to install the app in wine if u want to use it , u cannot run it if it is installed in windows
[19:09] <erUSUL> luke_: iirc is the default in newer ubuntu
[19:09] <Charbel> hi when i try to reload in synaptic package manager i got "an error occurred" with details "W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com maverick-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>" "W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubu
[19:09] <Charbel> ntu/dists/maverick-security/Release" anyone can help me fix that error ?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> luke_: unless the app is very portable it's not going to run anyway
[19:09] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: yep it looks like it
[19:09] <techbreak> KM0201, well when i put that command wireless enabled.. so yes it did
[19:09] <KM0201> techbreak: ok.. so your wireless device works, its just for some reason its disabled on boot up.
[19:10] <erUSUL> luke_: if it is an installer for an app just copy it over to the linux partition and run from there
[19:10] <luke_> its fairly simple 32bit app, i have the same set up with xp/7
[19:10] <techbreak> KM0201, okei at least for time being I can be connected to wireless with the command.. will google for the boot up stuff.. thank you very much :)
[19:10] <wilhart> :D nice bot
[19:10] <luke_> but its very big
[19:10] <erUSUL> luke_: or remount the partition with exec option
[19:10] <shubbar> erUSUL, how big should the img file from dd be? as big as the SD card?
[19:10] <telcnas> charbel u can still install the app by restricting gpg check
[19:10] <erUSUL> shubbar: yes
[19:10] <KM0201> techbreak: well, just keep that command handy, in case you can't find an immediate solution
[19:10] <sbeck_> luke, try to copy its folder to your home directory on linux.
[19:10] <luke_> exec, do i have to reformat?
[19:11] <techbreak> KM0201, sure, I will.
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> luke_: unless its a portable app, it wont run. Windows apps throw files all over the partition as well as registry entries which wine won't have
[19:11] <erUSUL> luke_: no; remount. « sudo mount -o remount,exec /mount/point »
[19:11] <Okitain> It can work possibly.
[19:11] <Charbel> telcnas, how ?
[19:12] <Okitain> It is better to install though
[19:12] <telcnas> which distro u are using charbel
[19:13] <Charbel> telcnas, i use ubuntu 10.10 maverick
[19:13] <telcnas> apt install --no-checksig <pkgname>
[19:13] <telcnas> use this way
[19:14] <luke_> no dice
[19:14] <telcnas> apt-get install --no-checksig <pkgname>
[19:14] <Charbel> and what if i want to update ?
[19:14] <telcnas> apt-get install --no-checksig <pkgname>
[19:14] <erUSUL> luke_: paste the line from /proc/mounts that describes the ntfs partition
[19:14] <luke_> remount wont let me change permission
[19:15] <telcnas> may be apt-get upgrade --no-checksig pkgname
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> luke_: did you try: wine /path/to/file.exe  ??
[19:15] <telcnas> apt-get update will update all the packages on ur system
[19:16] <Pici> telcnas: No it will not.  update merely downloads a new package index from the repositories. 'upgrade' will upgrade packages.
[19:17] <telcnas> If you don't want to type --no-checksig in every time you could disable GPG alltogether.
[19:17] <telcnas> You can to this by editing the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf: you need to change GPG::Check true;
[19:17] <telcnas> to GPG::Check false;. If you do this, you should be careful which apt repositories you use.
[19:18] <resixian> do i understand this correct, if i have 9.04, i must upgrade to 9.10, then 10.04, and finally 10.10 ?
[19:19] <Pici> resixian: Yes.
[19:19] <telcnas> well Pici it does download but nly if the pack to be downloaded is newer than the current version
[19:19] <Pici> telcnas: 'update' doesn't download any new packages.
[19:20] <telcnas> that wat i am saying that it does not allow any package it will go for each packages installed on ur system,on cannot specify a specific pack
[19:20] <shubbar> erUSUL, acicula, thanks photorec is recovering my pictures now
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: get a backup, you'll have no issue then :)
[19:22] <danielvilhas> Hi Guys
[19:22] <telcnas> well Pici i am new to ubuntu , first i used to work on rhel5
[19:22] <danielvilhas> can someone help me?
[19:23] <Pici> telcnas: Thats fine. We were all new once.  I'm just trying to educate :)
[19:23] <shubbar> ActionParsnip, with an 8gb memory i get lazy
[19:23] <vipul> can any one help me
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: you can get 25Gb of online storage for free
[19:24] <shubbar> ActionParsnip, from where?
[19:24] <telcnas> there is quite diffenrence b/w both the distros
[19:25] <nirazio> jpds: Btw, does the first command disable cache forever? What if I install some package through apt after running that command?
[19:25] <danielvilhas> I'm having the "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" error when I try to enter my iPod's files. How to solve this?
[19:25] <horseatingweeds> This system has one IDE hard drive. But I'm looking under /dev and all I'm finding are things pointing to sda sda1 sda2 and so on. Why is that?
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: http://www.windowslive.co.uk/skydrive  not sure if it flys with linux, I know someone else mentioned one a while back
[19:25] <Pici> horseatingweeds: sda is your first harddrive, sda2 is the second partition on your first drive.
[19:25] <sebikul> danielvilhas, have you updated your ipod to v4.2.1?
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: I use dropbox for 2Gb free
[19:26] <danielvilhas> sebikul: yeap
[19:26] <resixian> so i'm dl'ing 10.04.1, then going to moutn and share from my samba server. on my (20+) 9.04 laptops i am looking for a quick way to upgrade from this samba share
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> vipul: have you asked your question?
[19:26] <horseatingweeds> Pici: So why are they called sda instead of hda?
[19:26] <vipul> ActionParsnip,  yes i did
[19:26] <vipul> i am config apache on my buntu 10.04 but have sort of confussion i have created an public_html from this instruction https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  but i have not get the  warning messages
[19:27] <telcnas> hda implies ide and sda sata
[19:27] <resixian> does this sound right? is there some 'noprompt' mode for do-release-upgrade?
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> vipul: have you asked in #apache  too?
[19:27] <telcnas> hda implies ide and sda sata horseatingweeds
[19:27] <Pici> horseatingweeds: There was a kernel change a few releases ago that changed that.  I don't have a link handy though.
[19:27] <sebikul> danielvilhas, execute this command and all will be solved "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[19:27] <vipul> there are no people ActionParsnip
[19:28] <Pici> vipul, ActionParsnip: The channel for apache web server help is #httpd
[19:28] <telcnas> hda implies ide and sda sata or ur scsi devices
[19:28] <Pici> telcnas: All hard disk devices on Ubuntu are sda.
[19:28] <vipul> * #httpd :Cannot send to channel?
[19:29] <Pici> vipul: register/identify
[19:29] <horseatingweeds> telcnas, Pici, that's what's confusing me. I read that now, the first non-IDE drive was called sda. But this IS an IDE drive, or at least it was last time I checked.
[19:29] <vipul> why i can't send the message
[19:29] <Pici> !register > vipul
[19:29] <vipul> ok
[19:29] <resixian> horseatingweeds: this change happend way back around 2.6.20 iirc, the libata driver is to blame (?)
[19:30] <telcnas> so according to u if am using ide than also it is going to be represented by sda Pici
[19:30] <gp5st> hello; i'm trying to pin php at 5.2 using http://pastebin.com/MX16pumd in /etc/apt/preferences.d/php. but apt-get install still installs php 5.3.3.
[19:30] <danielvilhas> sebikul, thanks guy. It's done.
[19:31] <Pici> telcnas: Correct.
[19:31] <sebikul> danielvilhas, no problem ;)
[19:31] <telcnas> it sounds strange as this is not the case in rhel5
[19:31] <telcnas> pici
[19:32] <Pici> telcnas: I believe  there is a legacy option that can be configured for libata to make IDE drives appear has hdX instead of the newer sdX. Perhaps thats what rhel chose to use.
[19:32] <horseatingweeds> telcnas, it must me. All I see is sda, no hda anywhere, and this system is indeed a goofy ribbon IDE
[19:33] <planedriver> does anyone know where the CD/DVD burner on ubuntu stores temporary files? It's filling up my hard drive
[19:34] <noobie25_> can someone help me with dualscreen... it breaks sidetoside ...but works topbottom
[19:35] <tripFantastic> in kernel 2.6.36.2, in scripts/modpost.[ch] what's the missing value of mcaro SHN_XINDEX?
[19:35] <resixian> noobie25_: define 'broke' ? also driver and how are you doing the multiscreen setup?
[19:36] <jbraddoc> question: can messages/alerts/notifications for notifyosd be broadcasted globally on a network?
[19:36] <noobie25_> resixian:   when screen is extended ... screen 1 (ok)  screen 2 ( half is scrambled)
[19:37] <noobie25_> resixian: using opensource ati drivers ...and i'm doing the multiscreen by going to the monitors properties.
[19:38] <resixian> noobie25_: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[19:38] <noobie25_> resixian:   i tried doing something called  glxinfo ...but i get a Segmentation Fault ....
[19:38] <resixian> noobie25_: is it recoverable ?
[19:38] <noobie25_> resixian:   sure...hold on  :)...thanks
[19:38] <noobie25_> resixian:  it recovers??  it gives me back a prompt.
[19:38] <mannyuel> what is the openoffice channel?
[19:38] <koen_> dear people :) i need help with my acer aspire 7520 laptop.. i cant config my WIFI because of all the how to links of madwifi are down.. so i cant find the correct links.. can u please help me! grtz
[19:38] <resixian> noobie25_: i mean if you go side-side does it kill X or can you just set it back?
[19:38] <yo_rmn> hello, I can see YT vids in other sites, but in YT I only see a grey sqare
[19:39] <telcnas> k now i get that Pici, the drive naming convention is changed as of kernel 2.6.22
[19:40] <noobie25_> resixian:   doesn't kill X.    I can revert back easily.
[19:41] <resixian> noobie25_: do you know how-to xrandr?
[19:41] <telcnas> k Pici tell me one thing , how can we differentiate between both ide and sata if we are using kernal v higher than 2.6.22
[19:41] <resixian> *use xrandr?
[19:41] <Roasted_> Question - Ubuntu 10.04, Intel wireless. Works great, and has worked great since 10.04 came out. I boot up randomly the other day and I have no wireless. Says it's disabled. My hardware switch is on. XP works as well. To get it to work, I must boot up with it disabled, and then re-enable it once I'm logged in. How can I fix this?
[19:41] <jbraddoc> question: can messages/alerts/notifications for notifyosd be broadcasted globally on a network?
[19:41] <noobie25_> resixian:  i read into a bit... but only confirmed the proper extended width and height
[19:41] <resixian> noobie25_: also helpful would be a pastebin the output of xrandr -q
[19:42] <Pici> telcnas: I'd guess that its exposed somewhere in /proc/ or /sys/ as lshw is able to make the distinction.
[19:43] <noobie25_> resixian:   xorg    http://pastebin.com/7YpKnj9U
[19:43] <telcnas> k thanks
[19:43] <telcnas> k thanks Pici
[19:43] <velko> noobie25_, don't know if it is the same problem. but mine was this: my graphic card can draw on one big rectangle. this rectangle could be maximal 4096x4096 pixels. if i position the screens over each other they can be fitted into this rectangle because my monitors are wider than high. but i cannot position them beside each other because the cumulative resolution exeeds 4096 from left to right
[19:44] <resixian> velko: that would be shown by xrandr -q
[19:45] <erUSUL> shubbar: no problem
[19:45] <velko> resixian, indeed
[19:45] <resixian> velko: and i'm envious of your monitors...
[19:45] <noobie25_> resixian:  xrandr  http://pastebin.com/xjfDud79
[19:46] <noobie25_> velko:   i tried to do the math..and it seemed like it would fit ....
[19:46] <resixian> noobie25_: you're using VGA-0 and DVI-0 ?
[19:46] <velko> noobie25_, yep - your graphic card can draw also max 4096 pixels. 1600x900 are used by your first monitor. which resolution has the second one?
[19:47] <noobie25_> resixian:   yes vga0 and dvi-0
[19:47] <resixian> noobie25_: so is your 2nd monitor really 1600x900 ?
[19:47] <noobie25_> velko: second monitor is also 1600x900
[19:48] <Redcoil> Hi
[19:48] <noobie25_> resixian:  they are identital monitors.
[19:48] <velko> noobie25_, hmm should be possible. so you don't have the same problem i had
[19:48] <Redcoil> Can anyone recommend me a C IDE?
[19:48] <resixian> noobie25_: how about, xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1600x900 --right-of VGA-0
[19:49] <noobie25_> velko:  i installed fedora 14 at one point...and it extends well in that distribution.
[19:49] <erUSUL> !ide | Redcoil anjuta?
[19:49] <Redcoil> erUSUL, thanks.
[19:49] <noobie25_> resixian:  yikes!!
[19:50] <noobie25_> resixian:   it extended it.... and this is the same problem i had ( half of the extended screen is scrambled)
[19:50] <resixian> noobie25_: yikes? why yikes, if its the same problem as before?
[19:51] <noobie25_> resixian:  screen blacked out for a second..!
[19:51] <resixian> noobie25_: :) it pretty much always will
[19:51] <resixian> k, try xrandr --output DVI-0 off
[19:51] <resixian> hmm.. might need to add an offset.
[19:52] <telcnas> using dual head monitor we can configure have display on two monitors,both having the same no. of virtual desktops, is it possible to divide the virtual desktops on two monitors,if yes how it can done then, thanks..........in advance
[19:52] <noobie25_> resixian:   command did not run...
[19:52] <telcnas> using dual head monitor we can configure to have display on two monitors,both having the same no. of virtual desktops, is it possible to divide the virtual desktops on two monitors,if yes how it can done then, thanks..........in advance
[19:53] <resixian> noobie25_: sorry, shoud be '--off'
[19:53] <noobie25_> resixian:   will this turn off my screen working screen?
[19:53] <resixian> noobie25_: it would turn off whicheer output you select
[19:54] <resixian> so if you want DVI-0 to stay on just substitute for VGA1
[19:54] <resixian> *VGA-1
[19:54] <noobie25_> resixian:  ok.
[19:55] <resixian> noobie25_: can you run the xrandr command again, then check xrandr -q and look at the 2nd monitors offset
[19:55] <noobie25_> resixian:  I ran the dvi-0  .     it turned it off.
[19:55] <noobie25_> resixian: xrandor -q
[19:55] <noobie25_> whoops
[19:55] <telcnas> hey pici how can we divide the virtual desktops on two monitors ,i.e. is if there are four virtual desktops , then i need 2 on each
[19:56] <velko> telcnas, i don't think this is possible
[19:56] <resixian> telcnas: this is actually sth defined by the freedesktop standards, and they never though about it
[19:56] <Redcoil> I for the life of me can't figure it out? I must apply a .patch to my kernel to fix my fans in Ubuntu but I've no idea where to start. Help, anyone?
[19:56] <noobie25_> resixian:   xrandr outptu   http://pastebin.com/j3pnX2vV
[19:56] <resixian> telcnas: some tiling window managers behave this way by default though
[19:57] <velko> Redcoil, http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO-6.html
[19:57] <resixian> noobie25_: i mean to run the xrandr --display DVI-0 --mode... command first
[19:57] <Redcoil> velko, where d'you find that?!
[19:57] <telcnas> well resixian,velco i hve seen guys with such kind of config.
[19:58] <velko> Redcoil, i typed in google "patching the kernel"
[19:58] <Redcoil> velko I googled all kinds of stuff :/
[19:58] <nemo> When using Ubuntu Startup Disc creator
[19:58] <resixian> telcnas: like i said, its not impossible. but those are actually distinct displays, they are not xinerama. or the wm handles them in non-fd way
[19:58] <nemo> does setting a large amount of "reserved extra space" permit doing filesystem updates?
[19:58] <Sheepherd> hey guys the top part of my windows with the close, minimize & maximize buttons has disappeared. :/ how can i restore it?
[19:58] <noobie25_> resixian:   sorry new to all this.    http://pastebin.com/JVmkM8i3
[19:58] <nemo> (like, apt-get)
[19:58] <nemo> or is that basically just for /home
[19:59] <nemo> Sheepherd: my guess is your window manager died
[19:59] <ZykoticK9> Sheepherd, "metacity --replace" or "compiz --replace"
[19:59] <nemo> what ZykoticK9 just said
[19:59] <resixian> noobie25_: grrr...
[19:59] <resixian> noobie25_: run the 11:48 resixian | noobie25_: how about, xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1600x900 --right-of VGA-0
[19:59] <resixian> ^^ command there, then check with xrandr -q
[20:00] <nemo> Sheepherd: btw, this has happened to me before, if you don't want to have to go to a terminal you can open gnome-terminal the usual way, and to focus on the commandline, you can use Search for something on it :)
[20:00] <noobie25_> resixian:  ok.... sorry.   (currently one of my monitors is still off from past command.... but i'll run that last command you asked).
[20:01] <resixian> noobie25_: i know its off.
[20:01] <resixian> noobie25_: we are loookgin to see if this is correct, http://pastebin.com/VpQTYuRb
[20:01] <noobie25_> resixian:    here we go:    http://pastebin.com/RPDLzv52
[20:01] <roy_1> i have xp on sda1, solaris11 on sda4 and ubuntu10.10 on sdb1. sda1 seems to have a bad sector which is causing problems for  everything to properly access the disks/partitions. I need some help to figure out how to properly do the partitions and install the oses
[20:02] <nemo> Sheepherd: as for *why* it just died... yeah. if you're using compiz, might want to stick to metacity for now. or use less effects
[20:02] <roy_1> Also, ubuntu is behaving rather strangely. and disk util isn't launching
[20:02] <noobie25_> resixian:   i think the offsets are correct.   when i move the mouse over tothe next screen... it perfectly moves across the screen.   its just that the far half of the screen is scrambled.
[20:03] <resixian> noobie25_: yeah. offset looks good
[20:03] <resixian> noobie25_: what happens if you move a client over the 'scrambled' part of the screen?
[20:04] <digitalfiz> whats the variable to export to set the lib directory to another or add to it?
[20:04] <noobie25_> resixian:  sure... its acts as if the buffer isn't refreshing to clean out the old image.   (imagine an old old screensaver that replicates over and over and over)
[20:04] <resixian> digitalfiz: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="<FOO>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ?
[20:04] <ps_jinx> I am not able to boot, I get this error - Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found. How to get out of this? please help me.
[20:04] <digitalfiz> resixian, lemmie try that :D
[20:05] <resixian> noobie25_: hmph.. stumped me.
[20:05] <noobie25_> resixian:  no........:)
[20:06] <noobie25_> resixian:   do you think maybe i might need an xorg.conf file?
[20:06] <resixian> noobie25_: you can try some stuff. but i don't have ati so idk any switches for it
[20:06] <ps_jinx> resixian: I am not able to boot, I get this error - Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found. How to get out of this? please help me.
[20:07] <noobie25_> resixian: .... maybe i might have to setup my monitors  top-bottom ....  rather than left right.
[20:07] <velko> noobie25_, i would say that your best bet is to file a bug report against the ati driver. with detailed description of what happens
[20:07] <resixian> noobie25_: you might try setting Virtual 3200 900
[20:08] <noobie25_> resixian:    how do i go about setting this ... i'm not comfortable yet using the xrandr...
[20:08] <resixian> noobie25_: also do you see any errors from 'dmesg | tail' or so?
[20:08] <noobie25_> velko:  i'll file a bug after today :)
[20:08] <resixian> noobie25_: i dont think xrandr can set Virtual, you must add to xorg.conf
[20:08] <erUSUL> noobie25_: use System>Preferences>Monitors or another of the xrandr frontends aviable
[20:09] <noobie25_> resixian:   dmesg is ok.
[20:09] <noobie25_> resixian:   could you hlpe me set up the virtual?
[20:09] <noobie25_> resixian:   there is no xorg.conf i've read with now xrandr in place.
[20:10] <B45h_V|> how big shall I make the /boot partition? and does grub2 support booting from ext4 directly?
[20:10] <resixian> noobie25_: i have a *very* old one, http://pastie.org/private/emz8jq6rbvam9fav2nigra
[20:10] <resixian> noobie25_: now that is from arch linux, with intel gfx from last year or so (i don't use one aymore)
[20:11] <grendal_prime> grrrrr
[20:11] <resixian> do you have no file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[20:11] <grendal_prime> anyone built a workring radius server with a database backend receintly?
[20:11] <resixian> ps_jinx: have you changed your HD?
[20:11] <noobie25_> resixian:  ok...so i'm going to save this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:11] <resixian> noobie25_: NO
[20:11] <erUSUL> B45h_V|: 1) 512 MiB is enough. 2) yes
[20:12] <B45h_V|> erUSUL thx
[20:12] <noobie25_> resixian: ?
[20:12] <resixian> noobie25_: did you see the part wher i said it was very old, for a different linux distro and differnt graphics card?
[20:12] <ps_jinx> resixian: no
[20:12] <ps_jinx> just used tweal ubuntu to remove older kernels from boot menu
[20:13] <noobie25_> resixian:  yes i read that.... i thought i can justchange little by little....=/
[20:13] <ps_jinx> and during this process i was using older version of kernel
[20:13] <resixian> ps_jinx: when you say 'dev/disk/bu-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxx' do you really mean it shows 'xxxx' or some long string?
[20:13] <erUSUL> noobie25_: if you want an xorg.conf to tweak generate one « sudo Xorg -configure :1 » ( will save it in your home so copy it over to /etc/X11/ )
[20:13] <Sheepherd> sry gnome crahsed completely somehow
[20:14] <ps_jinx> yes some long string and it macthes to output from sudo blkid
[20:14] <resixian> noobie25_: i think you wanna first dpkg-reconfigure or sth
[20:14] <noobie25_> resixian:  i dont' even know what that means.
[20:14] <resixian> ps_jinx: ok, well from the grub menu just edit your kernel entry and point to proper location
[20:15] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  resixian is recommending i do a dpkg-reconfigure first...
[20:15] <ps_jinx> u menu edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:15] <Sheepherd> nemo, you said i should drop compiz n replace it with what?
[20:15] <ps_jinx> *u mean
[20:15] <erUSUL> noobie25_: resixian 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' does nothing this days ...
[20:15] <pavlushka> can u know how to reconfigure sound?
[20:16] <pavlushka> do u know how to reconfigure sound?
[20:16] <resixian> ps_jinx: well if you can't boot then idk how youd edit menu.lst, you can modify entries from the grub menu though
[20:17] <pavlushka> does anyone knows how to reconfigure sound?
[20:17] <nemo> Sheepherd: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects
[20:17] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  i got an error while running sudo Xorg -configure :1
[20:17] <nemo> Sheepherd: None = metacity
[20:17] <nemo> Sheepherd: but if you were using Extra or custom stuff with CCSM, Normal might be ok
[20:17] <ps_jinx> resixian, how to edit entries from grub menu
[20:17] <erUSUL> noobie25_: which is?
[20:17] <Jenk1> @Nickoo: .
[20:17] <resixian> ps_jinx: press 'e'
[20:18] <ps_jinx> k
[20:18] <Nickoo> @Jenk1: ,
[20:18] <ps_jinx> i will give a try .. thanks

[20:18] <fleshpike> hello, is there a way to know the speed of an ata hard drive?
[20:18] <Sheepherd> nemo, ah thx... ive been playing around with compiz lately but it seems that its not too stable
[20:18] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  maybe these errors are ok then.
[20:19] <grendal_prime> fleshpike, very fast
[20:19] <erUSUL> noobie25_: that's not an error it worked just fine; says  --> Your xorg.conf file is /home/ring/xorg.conf.new
[20:19]  * Redcoil greets
[20:19] <resixian> noobie25_: try testing the file
[20:19] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  :)
[20:19] <fleshpike> Sheepherd : what is compiz?
[20:20] <Redcoil> In order to fix my fans, an instruction mentions adding 'windfarm_core' to /etc/modules. What does this mean, and how do I do that?
[20:20] <delgan> is there an easy way of setting up samba? I've not been having too much success with it?
[20:20] <erUSUL> noobie25_: paste that file so i can take a look
[20:20] <ZykoticK9> fleshpike, you might want to try "sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda" or "sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda"
[20:20] <resixian> Redcoil: sudo vim /etc/modules
[20:20] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  http://pastebin.com/wGLkgEHT
[20:20] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=compiz
[20:21] <mincomp> hey
[20:21] <ZykoticK9> Sheepherd, please don't use lmgtfy here
[20:21] <mincomp> does anyone do any xbox spoofing?
[20:21] <Sheepherd> ZykoticK9, why not?
[20:21] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  xorg.conf.new   http://pastebin.com/kRrp7Dav
[20:21] <ZykoticK9> !google > Sheepherd
[20:21] <fleshpike> ZycoticK9 : that way can i know if it is a 33/66/100 or 133 ata hard drive?
[20:21] <resixian> noobie25_: sudo -X -config /home/ring/xorg.conf.new :1
[20:22] <Redcoil> resixian, command not found :s
[20:22] <Redcoil> resixian, even though 'man' knows vim
[20:22] <resixian> Redcoil: substitue your favorite editor fro 'vim'
[20:22] <whooby> hello I have a ubuntu-desktop that I use as a server, I have automatic login, and I use VNC however I always have to set the keyring before I can use the vnc.. how do I fix this?
[20:22] <resixian> Redcoil: e.g. 'nano' or whatever
[20:22] <Sheepherd> ZykoticK9, i actually didnt tell him to google it... it did it for him instead ;) but i'll try again.
[20:22] <erUSUL> noobie25_: you have an ati? then it is correct
[20:22] <Redcoil> resixian, alright, thanks.
[20:23] <ZykoticK9> Sheepherd, either "google it" or the site lmgtfy is considered rude here
[20:23] <erUSUL> noobie25_: you can copy the file to /etc/X11/ and begin tweaking if that's what you want to do
[20:23] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, compiz is a neat piece of software that can make your desktop a real eye-catcher.
[20:23] <resixian> erUSUL: the trouble is he tried restarting it on display :0
[20:23] <ZykoticK9> Sheepherd, much better ;)
[20:23] <Sheepherd> ZykoticK9, =)
[20:24] <k-rad> how do i save all installed packages for later installation using aptitude on a new install ?
[20:24] <Redcoil> resixian, And now reboot, I presume?
[20:24] <fleshpike> Sheepherd : is it compiz installed b default?
[20:24] <erUSUL> !clone | k-rad
[20:24] <k-rad> thank you
[20:24] <noobie25> erUSUL:   i'm on another machine.......  my screens had turned black
[20:24] <ZykoticK9> k-rad, /var/cache/aprt/archives
[20:25] <ZykoticK9> k-rad, /var/cache/apt/archives sorry typo
[20:25] <noobie25> erUSUL:   should i hit   CNTRL+V to return?
[20:25] <fleshpike> i would like  to know if my hard drive is a 33/66/100 or 133. how can i know this?
[20:25] <resixian> Redcoil: not entirely necessary
[20:25] <k-rad> fleshpike, look up your hard drive information in your bios
[20:26] <erUSUL> noobie25: :/ change to a VT ( crtl + alt + f1 ) remove the file you just copied and restart X
[20:26] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, someone correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure a very basic version is pre-installed by default, where u can use Non, Some and All graphical effects compiz has to offer but without all that tweaking.
[20:26] <k-rad> is anyone here familiar with hardware raid ?  does that work well with ubuntu ?
[20:26] <noobie25> erUSUL:  how do i restart X?
[20:26] <histo> Why is it that if you copy a link out of lets say firefox and then close firefox you can no longer paste the link.
[20:26] <erUSUL> k-rad: bios raid?
[20:26] <k-rad> yes sir
[20:26] <erUSUL> !fakeraid | k-rad
[20:26] <Jeruvy> fleshpike: you can also use hdparm to check.
[20:26] <ZykoticK9> noobie25, "sudo service gdm restart" will restart X
[20:26] <erUSUL> noobie25: sudo restart gdm
[20:27] <erUSUL> k-rad: if the machine only has linux installed is better to use linux software raid
[20:27] <Luksor> a
[20:28] <noobie25> erUSUL:   i removed teh file in my home directly .... and ran .... sudo service gdm restart... and now it shows me (X) in the middle of the screen
[20:29] <noobie25> erUSUL: *directory
[20:29] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, you can access it with System>Preferences>Compiz Settings Manager i think
[20:29] <ZykoticK9> noobie25, sounds like you don't have a windows manager / desktop environment - and it's only running X
[20:29] <erUSUL> noobie25: ? if the file is in your home folder it has no effect. only has effect if ou copie it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and you restart X ( or the computer )
[20:29] <erUSUL> noobie25: so the blackening of your screens has nothing to do with the new xorg.conf ...
[20:29] <noobie25> erUSUL:   oh..i had never copied it to my  /etc/X11 directory in the first place.
[20:30] <noobie25> erUSUL:   is that why it had turned black?
[20:30] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, it has to be installed first though... so go to the Software Center and search for Compiz
[20:30] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, there u need at least Compiz + Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager
[20:30] <resixian> noobie25: you were probably looking at a second serevr
[20:30] <BigMao> Hi there, my Evolution cache got corrupted (just the inbox), so I moved the .evolution folder to .evolution.bak and restarted; things seemed to work again.  However, now I want to access the history of sent messages in .evolution.bak.  Anyone know how I can access those messages?  Thank you :)
[20:30] <noobie25> ZykoticK9:   we were trying to get my desktop to dual screen... now trying to revert back i think.
[20:30] <erUSUL> noobie25: dunno; if the display worked when you installed the system it should work now
[20:30] <neckti3> noob here. can anyone help me with this tutorial? http://www.serverhostingsecrets.com/tutorials/ubuntucentos-pptpd-howto/ i'm on the last step. i need to enable ip forwarding
[20:31] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, Additionally the Advanced one for the mentioned tweaking
[20:31] <noobie25> erUSUL:   should i restart the computer?
[20:31] <noobie25> resixian:   what do you mean second server?
[20:31] <whooby> hello I have a ubuntu-desktop that I use as a server, I have automatic login, and I use VNC however I always have to set the keyring before I can use the vnc.. how do I fix this?
[20:31] <aantn> is anyone here part of the Ubuntu design team?
[20:31] <fleshpike> Sheepherd : got  it, i ll take a look at it
[20:31] <resixian> noobie25: did you pass the ':1' switch when testing the new xorg.conf.new ?
[20:32] <erUSUL> neckti3: edit /etc/sysctl.conf
[20:32] <noobie25> i'm not sure..
[20:32] <resixian> noobie25: ps aux | grep X
[20:32] <erUSUL> neckti3: there is a line like this --> #net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
[20:32] <erUSUL> neckti3: remove the #
[20:33] <resixian> noobie25: notice if there are > 1 /usr/X11*/bin/X running
[20:33] <erUSUL> neckti3: then run « sudo sysctl -a »
[20:33] <pero> hello i want to know how to run script when i press some button?
[20:33] <silentstorm> hi
[20:34] <noobie25> resixian:   yes....   there is 2
[20:34] <silentstorm> is there anone can help me about usplash on maverick
[20:34] <silentstorm> hi
[20:34] <silentstorm> can you help me plk
[20:34] <silentstorm> plz
[20:34] <noobie25> resixian:   1)   has the :1 switch for X -config /home/ring/xorg.conf.new: 1      2)    /usr/bin/X
[20:35] <noobie25> resixian:   hitting cntrl f7 gave me back my nice gui screen
[20:35] <ZykoticK9> whooby, turning off autologin will stop the keyring password (this is a security feature), not sure what options there are for VNC - i know with nm-applet you can select unsecure storage and keyring won't come up, not sure about vnc.  best of luck.
[20:35] <resixian> noobie25: ok, so the :0, :1 ... are the X servers DISPLAY variables
[20:35] <silentstorm> ok i know
[20:35] <stanley_> hi guys my panels have mysteriously disappeard, I was just working on my desktop and they blinked then wnet away...when I use the termila to run the xfce4-panel command I get a floating point exception
[20:35] <silentstorm> virtual tty0-8
[20:36] <resixian> noobie25: this is more than you need to know atm, but you couldn't test your new xorg.conf withtout the ':1' switch i told you about because there was already a server running on ':0'
[20:36] <silentstorm> is it ok
[20:36] <stanley_> please I need my panels I can't restart I am downloading something very important
[20:36] <resixian> noobie25: so kill the process with the :1 switch
[20:36] <stanley_> hi guys my panels have mysteriously disappeard, I was just working on my desktop and they blinked then wnet away...when I use the termila to run the xfce4-panel command I get a floating point exception
[20:36] <whooby> ZykoticK9: thx but the thing is that the server is running WLAN so I guess there is no internet connection before login ?
[20:36] <ZykoticK9> silentstorm, maverick uses plymouth rather then usplash...  are you really trying to use usplash?
[20:37] <noobie25> resixian:   it is process id   11994.     is the command     kill 11994
[20:37] <stOrmBlast>  /join #hackerss
[20:37] <ZykoticK9> whooby, um, if you are using nm-applet that can certainly be an issue.  sorry man, i'm no help.
[20:37] <resixian> noobie25: probably has to be 'sudo kill 11994'
[20:37] <resixian> noobie25: becuase it was started as root
[20:37] <noobie25> resixian:  ok...done.
[20:37] <whooby> ZykoticK9: ok well I have never to do a reboot then :D :D
[20:38] <resixian> noobie25: so now were there any errors from startig X with the xorg.conf.new ?
[20:38] <noobie25> resixian:   i don't think so...
[20:39] <resixian> noobie25: well just look in the term where you launched it from, if its ok there the you're ok
[20:39] <bitplane> can someone help give me the lowdown on how gnome and x11 work with mouse and keyboard input please?
[20:39] <phil__> can someone help me please, im playing world of warcraft, getting 2-3 second delays. internet connection is fine, and MS ranging between 1-100
[20:40] <noobie25> resixian:   i no longer have the term where i originally launched it from ....    isn't this a new term i'm in?
[20:40] <frxstrem> how can I find the device name (such as /dev/sdb) of a USB flash drive?
[20:40] <cjdevlin> frxstrem: sudo fdisk -l
[20:40] <noobie25> resixian:   wait...shouldn't i relaunch  like this:::
[20:40] <resixian> noobie25: i have no idea. i've not seen your computer once today :)
[20:40] <BluesKaj> frxstrem, in the terminal,  lsusb
[20:40] <resixian> noobie25: i guess you did do the gdm restart and then have to log back in?
[20:41] <frxstrem> cjedvlin: thanks
[20:41] <noobie25> resixian:   yes...i did a gdm restart and log back in.
[20:41] <bitplane> I'm writing an idea for brainstorm.ubuntu.com, would really like to understand a bit more so that I can write an idea that will work
[20:41] <resixian> noobie25: ok, so then yeah that terminal was closed
[20:41] <whooby> when trying to use my webcam with cheese it crashes! anyone? :)
[20:41] <resixian> noobie25: you can test it again, but list first
[20:41] <wilhart> is there nay other clients than x-chat and irssi ?
[20:41] <Bilz> has anyone recently had a problem with opening pdf files in google chrome on ubuntu 10.04? initially it would open pdf files in adobe, then it started working in the browser, now its stopped working all together. updates i presume, just wanted to make sure it wasnt just me
[20:41] <wilhart> something like x-chat but equal nice
[20:41] <noobie25> resixian:  i lost all the commands that were sent to me....
[20:41] <Jenk1> :)
[20:42] <resixian> noobie25: when you run the 'sudo X :1 -config xorg.conf.new' you will see a black screen, just press 'ctrl+alt+f7' to get back
[20:42] <chalcedony>  i'm looking for how to partition a drive in ubuntu 10.10, i want to make a partition for the os and leave the rest for home, i'm at the place in setup where it asks for "Device Type MountPoint Format? Size Used" it says: ldev/sda ATA WDCWD5000AAKS-0(500.1GB) - i'm guessing it wants me to type something there.. but what to put?
[20:42] <bitplane> wilhart: I'm using empathy, pidgin is good also
[20:42] <K350> Any web load checker - texbased...tip?
[20:42] <cjdevlin> frxstrem: np
[20:42] <guntbert> wildc4rd: look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[20:42] <resixian> noobie25: that'll bring you back to your x session on server with display :0, then you can check the term you launched from for errors, kill the :1 servr and move on
[20:42] <wilhart> bitplane, they suck i use xchat with bitlebee
[20:43] <jkg> Bilz: I had that but I never worked it out - the latest set of updates just sorted it :-/ (same happened with flash, oddly)
[20:43] <cjdevlin> bitplane: what exactly do you need to know about x11?
[20:43] <phil__> 2-3 second delays on world of warcraft, can anyone help me please??
[20:43] <phil__> not a problem with internet connection, have strong signal
[20:43] <bitplane> chalcedony: split your drive into three partitions of whatever sizes you want, one for root (mountpoint = /), one for home (mountpoint = /home/) and one for swap (at least the size of your physical memory)
[20:44] <noobie25> ok... i just ran the sudo X :1 -config xorg.conf.new.   i got a blank screen.    and i keyed  ctrl alt f7 to get back.
[20:44] <chalcedony> bitplane, wow .. ok how do i type that?
[20:44] <bitplane> type it?
[20:44] <Snigs> Hey I have a dell inspiron 6000 and am trying to install 10.10 on it (from USB), but it throws up an error about the built in CD reader (or HDD is bad, but it isn't, I've run all diagnostics and they say it's fine) won't work and exits out of the install.  Any way to get around this?
[20:44] <noobie25> resixian:   errors like the following
[20:44] <bitplane> you just use the GUI in the advanced settings during install
[20:44] <chalcedony> bitplane, i'm glad - i didn't know about the ramp part
[20:45] <chalcedony> bitplane, yes but what to put?
[20:45] <chalcedony> i want 15 gb for
[20:45] <noobie25> resixian:   Unable to locate/open config file:  "xorg.conf.new"    "GLX error:  Can not get required symbols"
[20:45] <bitplane> XT4 for filesystem, 15000, mountpoint = /
[20:45] <chalcedony> bitplane, can you give me an example of how that line has to look?
[20:45] <resixian> noobie25: you are not in the same directory as before i think
[20:46] <bitplane> You're using 10.10?
[20:46] <resixian> noobie25: iirc you had a path like 'rings/xorg.conf.new' or sth
[20:46] <chalcedony> bitplane, yes
[20:46] <bitplane> chalcedony: You don't really have to type anything, just choose the options from the drop-down menus in the advanced settings page during install
[20:46] <bitplane> at least that's what I just did
[20:46] <stanley_> anyone?
[20:47] <noobie25> resixian:  hmm...its the same directory.  .... my home directory.
[20:47] <ZykoticK9> getting an error with gtk-recordmydesktop http://paste.ubuntu.com/544174/ any suggestions on alternatives (in default ubuntu repo)? or solutions to error?
[20:47] <noobie25> resixian:   do i maybe need the :1 tag at the end ?
[20:48] <resixian> noobie25: read the error, it says it can't find the config file
[20:48] <cjdevlin> chalcedony: are you trying to do this real time or is this hypothetical?
[20:48] <resixian> noobie25: find ~ -type f -name "*xorg.conf*"
[20:48] <chalcedony> no it's real .. my husban'ds computer
[20:48] <cjdevlin> bitplane: what specifically do you need to know about x11?
[20:49] <cjdevlin> chalcedony: are you reformatting the whole thing, starting from scratch?
[20:49] <chalcedony> cjdevlin, i asked my husband, he thinks 4gb ram
[20:49] <noobie25> resixian: /home/ring/xorg.conf.new
[20:49] <chalcedony> cjdevlin, yes
[20:49] <cjdevlin> chalcedony: what is the installation media and what iso are you using?
[20:49] <resixian> noobie25: and pwd says?
[20:50] <noobie25> resixian: /home/ring
[20:50] <chalcedony> cjdevlin, it's a cd - going to a 500gb sata drive
[20:50] <resixian> noobie25: k, i guess switch the order.. seems odd though
[20:50] <bitplane> cjdelvin, I'll explain my suggestion... I'd love to see something like Logitech's mouse settings page, it has a picture of the mouse with all the buttons on it, it has descriptions of all the different axes, button names etc
[20:50] <dwarder> is it possible to autohide bottom pannel of ubuntu?
[20:50] <bitplane> Currently if I want to ID a button I have to run xev and look at the output. I noticed that my search button is bound to a keypress.... where would this live?
[20:51] <Milossh> hello. do you know how can I rename multiple files with the same name but under different directories?
[20:51] <dwarder> and make it appear upon hovering bottom side
[20:51] <phil__> 30 minites in here and nobody has answered me, please help.
[20:51] <chalcedony> phil__, restate the question?
[20:51] <noobie25> resixian: weird.  still says     "Unable to locate/open config file: "xorg.conf.new"    while running the command   sudo X -config xorg.conf.new :1
[20:51] <bitplane> I'd also like to set different key bindings for buttons depending on application (for zoom, page forward, backward), I hear this is done by imwheelrc
[20:51] <cjdevlin> chalcedony: the gui for the installer did not come up?
[20:52] <Milossh> so, I have like: 1/a.sh 2/a.sh 3/a.sh 4/a.sh  and I want to rename all of them to b.sh
[20:52] <phil__> im getting 2-3 second delays on world of warcraft, is there any way to prevent it?
[20:52] <chalcedony> cjdevlin, it's there but i didn't know what to put where, which is where we are stuck :)
[20:52] <bitplane> my question: is it feasible to have an app that edits these files? which files are they? how do we identify different pieces of hardware?
[20:52] <Pici> phil__: For support of software running under Wine please use their support channe: #winehq
[20:53] <bitplane> then embed this as a new tab in the mouse preferences page = amazing mouse settings that pisses all over Windows with default drivers
[20:53] <jkg> Milossh: "for i in `seq 1 4` ; do mv $i/a.sh $i/b.sh ; done"
[20:53] <Guest27237> have a Ralink 2561 PCI wifi card but get the following error when put into monitor mode "phy0]SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory"
[20:54] <jkg> Milossh: or there's a command line utility called "rename" that's really powerful and pattern-based, but I can't quite remember the details
[20:54] <cjdevlin> chalcedony: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2010/10/12/ubuntu-10-10-manual-disk-partitioning-guide/
[20:54] <chalcedony> oh thanks !!
[20:54] <Milossh> jkg: the first command works recursively?
[20:55] <Guest27237> have a Ralink 2561 PCI wifi card but get the following error when put into monitor mode "phy0]SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory"
[20:55] <JT_> I've got a small problem...
[20:56] <k-rad> do many of you make a seperate partition for /opt ?
[20:56] <JT_> Everytime I try to use the Ubuntu 10.10 Software Center, I get the message: "407 proxy authentication required"
[20:56] <JT_> I've already tried applying systemwide proxy settings...
[20:56] <tanath> dwarder, yes, right click empty space > Properties
[20:56] <JT_> Can someone help?
[20:56] <bitplane> JT_ are you behind a proxy?
[20:56] <JT_> Ya.
[20:56] <dwarder> tanath: thanks found it already
[20:56] <tanath> dwarder, k
[20:57] <JT_> My college uses one...
[20:57] <JT_> Any ideas?
[20:57] <tbrock> hey guys
[20:57] <tbrock> what is a gnome text editor that is like textmate
[20:57] <bitplane> hrm no sorry I haven't used it with a proxy
[20:57] <tbrock> anything close out there?
[20:57] <ks07> Hey all - got a quick bash scripting problem: I have a file containing <some text> <file path> <more text> - How can I replace <more text> with the file path on each line?
[20:58] <bitplane> ks07, egrep or sed
[20:58] <JT_> Anybody?
[20:58] <guntbert> ks07: ask in #bash
[20:58] <cjdevlin> bitplane: x11 is the window manager. getting that input would probably be from: http://linux.die.net/man/4/mouse-driver
[20:58] <trojan_spike> JT_, u might have to just download software, 1 at a time. if there is a download limit setup,, or try a proxy / ip changer.. meaning going through a differ server,, same thing might happen tho
[20:58] <ZykoticK9> cjdevlin, x11 is NOT a windows manager
[20:58] <ks07> trying to use sed, and thanks guntbert ill go now ^^
[20:59] <JT_> Can't even download.
[20:59] <JT_> Browser working though.
[20:59] <JT_> Applied proxy settings on Mozilla.
[20:59] <shal3r_> which package contains base of tools in ubuntu? like `ps`, `ls`
[21:00] <morten__> How do I update my onboard videocard in Ubuntu Netbook 10.10?
[21:00] <guntbert> ks07: sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh -- Good luck :-)
[21:00] <marco_> scribblej
[21:00] <trojan_spike> aye but the server at ur college isnt letting u download
[21:00] <ks07> np lol ty
[21:00] <JT_> Tried doing so systemwide, and specified the authentication, but no nothing...
[21:00] <JT_> "407 proxy authentication required".
[21:00] <sybariten> hey hey, i get messages like this when doing sudo apt-get update  ...   W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz   ... so i suspect that aint too good
[21:00] <trojan_spike> have u access to the system server setting?
[21:00] <JT_> I assume there's a way around it.
[21:00] <phil__> Nobody is answering in wineHQ :(
[21:00] <definity> for some reason my window manager has not opend and all i am in is console, what the command to restart gnome or the window x?
[21:00] <JT_> nono
[21:01] <trojan_spike> phil__, whats up?
[21:01] <trojan_spike> JT_, bypass the server?
[21:01] <tbrock> any ideas guys
[21:01] <phil__> World of warcraft is having some 2-3 second delays, getting really anoying.. was wondering if someone could me sort it out
[21:01] <JT_> @trojan_spike: How??
[21:02] <trojan_spike> phone port?
[21:02] <JT_> Don't think a bypass possible.
[21:02] <JT_> ethernet.
[21:02] <sjm> definity, probably:  /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[21:02] <definity> thanks sjm :)
[21:02] <JT_> there's gotta be a way to specify the authentication username and password.
[21:03] <ZykoticK9> shal3r, coreutils
[21:03] <trojan_spike> phil__, sorry,, not great with WOW .
[21:03] <JT_> did so in network settings, but it isn't working on software center.
[21:03] <JT_> Anyone?
[21:03] <phil__> Its just delay problems on a game, :(
[21:04] <trojan_spike> JT_, i cant see anyway around it. ur hooked to what the college allow i guess
[21:04] <guntbert> JT_: did you look at system/preferences/network proxy ?
[21:05] <JT_> i'd say it within bounds.
[21:05] <JT_> just cant get the center to authenticate with the proxy server.
[21:05] <guntbert> !who | JT_
[21:06] <sjm> JT_, Did you try putting in the authentication in the settings/url?
[21:06] <cjdevlin> *x11 is gui protocol for networked computers*
[21:07] <JT_> @sjm: you mean Preferences>Network Proxy??
[21:07] <sjm> JT_, I can't remember the syntax exactly, but you might try something like setting your proxy to:  user:password@<proxy server IP or fqdn>
[21:08] <root_> hy hy
[21:08] <sybariten> hm, i just realized the support period for my distro has passed
[21:08] <guntbert> root_: don't do IRC as root
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> that's a REALLY bad idea
[21:09] <ks07> haha thanks for redirecting me guntbert, got my answer :)
[21:09] <guntbert> ks07: :)
[21:11] <sybariten> what does it mean that a package is installed "without verification" ?
[21:12] <bibic682> hello
[21:13] <bibic682> can anyone give me some simple steps to set up a philips saa 7134 tv tuner
[21:13] <PetrHH> hello, I'd line to use MySQL embedded but can't find it in Synaptics. Is it in Ubuntu?
[21:14] <stanley_> hey guys can anyone help me with my panels problem, I am using xubuntu 10.10 and my panels disappeared while I was working on a document, I used the xfce4-panel command and they just flickered then disappeared
[21:14] <Xeross> Where can I modify my grub entries in 10.10 /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't exist
[21:14] <sjm> !grub2 | Xeross
[21:15] <JT_> "407 proxy authentication required". Anybody got any way around it??
[21:15] <puppy> How do i install the galaxy live background? I can not find a good tutorial online
[21:15] <sjm> JT_, did you try what I suggested?
[21:15] <guntbert> !info libmysqld-dev | PetrHH
[21:15] <JT_> sjm, the command you specified isn't working.
[21:16] <JT_> sjm, but i think you're pointing in the right direction.
[21:16] <sjm> I didn't specify and command.
[21:16] <sjm> JT_, in the configuration, set your proxy to that.
[21:16] <nirazio> how to create a gpg key and how to encrypt the file with that key???
[21:16] <sjm> JT_, s/and/any/
[21:16] <JT_> sjm, the system configuration??
[21:17] <PetrHH> guntbert, Thank you. I have installed this package, but it dosnt include any *.so file.
[21:17] <JT_> sjm, you mean the systemwide proxy settings??
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> Xeross: what do you want to achieve?
[21:17] <bibic682> tv time won't see my tv card
[21:17] <PetrHH> guntbert, only *.la files.
[21:17] <PetrHH> guntbert, it is OK?
[21:17] <sjm> JT_, in your proxy configuration settings, rather than just putting in the ip or fqdn of the proxy, prepend the authentication information
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: have you configured the tv card?
[21:17] <bibic682> thats what I need to do
[21:18] <JT_> sjm, i did that already.
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: then tvtime can wait, you need to set up the device before worrying about tvtime at all
[21:18] <JT_> doesn't seem to be affecting the software center.
[21:18] <bibic682> I seen it on a page earlier and didn't bookmark it
[21:18] <cjdevlin> JT_: http://geekswithblogs.net/technetbytes/archive/2007/08/11/114573.aspx
[21:18] <bibic682> a few lines of code and it should be done
[21:19] <bibic682> its a philips saa7130
[21:19] <guntbert> PetrHH: sorry, I really have no idea, all I did was search for the info you gave ...
[21:19] <Bilz> i have a partition mounted, and when i access it through terminal and run a command like ls it looks ugly. the text highlighting is different. any ideas?
[21:20] <nirazio> how to create a gpg key and how to encrypt the file with that key???
[21:20] <TwoRoses> Hi. Could someone help me understand how to burn the ubuntu image in a way that it's bootable?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> has anyone ever had this: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/colors.jpg?t=1292448020    (hope the link works)   I use the vga cable, it's always a blue affair
[21:21] <Redcoil> For some reason, my Ubuntu Software Center has stopped working, it briefly loads and then crashes. What to do?
[21:21] <cjdevlin> TwoRoses: what os are you currently using and what did you download?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: let me websearch
[21:22] <TwoRoses> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I dowloaded the ISO for ubuntu 10.4
[21:22] <bibic682> TwoRoses      burn the ISO file to disk, make sure the disk is bootable
[21:22] <Jeruvy> !burn | TwoRoses
[21:22] <TwoRoses> Okay, thank you.
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: http://sites.google.com/site/jobinau2/saa7130basedtvtunercardunderlinux
[21:22] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: what are we lookin at?
[21:23] <JT_> cjdevlin: ya, that's my problem.
[21:23] <JT_> but what exactly do i do to fix it?
[21:23] <bibic682> I will try that  thanx ActionParsnip
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: its not my setup, but i have a system hooked to a TV via VGA and it's always blue like that sort of thing, even in BIOS
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/debian-ubuntu-linux-configure-pinnacle-pctv-tuner.html
[21:23] <JT_> cjdevlin: i'm new to ubuntu, so i'll need some clear directions...
[21:23] <cjdevlin> TwoRoses: there is also an option to create a bootable flash drive. depending on what you want to do.
[21:24] <Redcoil> For some reason, my Ubuntu Software Center has stopped working, it briefly loads and then crashes. What to do?
[21:24] <snake> What is wrong with 10.10?
[21:24] <sjm> JT_, do you know what kind of proxy it is?  (e.g. squid, MS ISA, etc)
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: what is the output of: sudo apt-get update    use: http://pastie.org   to give the output
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> snake: its not as mature as the others is all I can think of, otherwise its fine
[21:25] <JT_> sjm: Not exactly. The instructions on how to configure the proxy for firefox say its an HTTP proxy.
[21:25] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: maybe a cable/connector problem?  I take it that is a DLP the pc is connected to?
[21:25] <JT_> http://geekswithblogs.net/technetbytes/archive/2007/08/11/114573.aspx: can anybody make any sense out of it??
[21:25] <sjm> JT_, I'm doing a little looking here... found a few posts on NTLM authentication
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: digital light projector?
[21:26] <JT_> sjm: ty ty.
[21:26] <JT_> sjm: do try and go through the link i posted above.
[21:26] <JT_> maybe you can make some sense out of it...
[21:26] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: ya.  I think thats what it stands for.
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: its (probably) a low end 32" toshiba flatscreen TV with VGA input. I have an Xorg.conf so it has a decent res and I'm using nvidia proprietary drivers which are running fine, just that everything is blue
[21:26] <sjm> JT_, does this page help?  http://www.allquests.com/question/2472861/Solved-407-Proxy-Authentication-Required-Feisty.html
[21:27] <wathek> Hi all I'd like to know I got the Nvidia GTX 295 which better : installing nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com or getting that from repo ? (I'm using maverick)
[21:27] <Bilz> hello. im looking at the first post of this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=93706&page=2 and it says "set permission to execute", what does that mean? I did make the file and save it and tried to run it but it says permission denied. I then run it with sudo and it can't find the command...
[21:27] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/1380832
[21:27] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: I presume it looks fine on another input?
[21:27] <RunTimeWorld> hello all.. is there an alternative to GIMP as i dont feel very confortable with that software
[21:27] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, It's in german unfortunately, but means something like 'malformed code row 59 in Source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:27] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, and "The list of source sould not be read"
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: ok what is the output of: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | head -n 59 | tail -n 1
[21:28] <sjm> JT_, I know what you are talking about, that link/page doesn't talk about this.
[21:28] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, http://bersace03.free.fr/pub/Linux/iMac%20G5/windfarm-pm121.patch main
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: i have the yellow connector fro the Red/White/yellow connection method and that hooks up but the text is scewed, but then again I havent tried it since the new xorg.conf. Might be a solution :)
[21:29] <sjm> anyone, Software Center is just a frontend to aptitude/apt-get, right?
[21:30] <tejaishot> i have a problem when i am trying to install updates...shows an error connection to daemon lost....what is this called?
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: thats not a deb repositository dude
[21:30] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: I hope it's not a bulb problem.
[21:30] <JT_> sjm: tried the link you just sent.
[21:30] <JT_> now i'm getting the message: 403  Forbidden [IP: 91.189.88.37 80].
[21:30] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, I've no idea.
[21:30] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, I dabbled at attempting to do shit I don't understand earlier involving that, so that may very well be a reason
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   and comment out the line
[21:30] <Xeross> ActionParsnip: After further investigation I found out that I just had to purge the old kernel packages to remove them from the boot list
[21:30] <Xeross> ActionParsnip: Normally I just comment them out
[21:31] <guntbert> !language | Redcoil
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: it plays the Virgin Cable TV just fine
[21:31] <Redcoil> guntbert, Whoops, sorry.
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: i've tried 2 VGA cables too
[21:31] <sjm> JT_, it looks like you got through the proxy at least now.
[21:32] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, "comment out the line"?
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: only thing I can think is the nvidia card is dying
[21:32] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: that is strange.
[21:32] <shcherbak> Redcoil: put # in front of something
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: add a hash character to the start of the line, save the file and run: sudo apt-get update
[21:32] <JT_> sjm: so what d'you think the problem is now??
[21:32] <xicote_wapito> bien coño bien
[21:32] <sjm> ActionParsnip, do you know if the Software Center is just a frontend to apt-get/aptitude?
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> sjm: yep, thats all it is
[21:33] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, whee, it's doing stuff
[21:33] <sjm> ActionParsnip, ok, thanks
[21:33] <guntbert> sjm: no, all three are fron ends to the same backend
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: if you add nonsense to your sources file it will stop it working
[21:33] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, Okay, thanks. I'll watch my actions from now on. Thank you!
[21:34] <sjm> JT_, can you try running "sudo apt-get update' from the command line to see what you get?
[21:34] <sjm> guntbert, apt? or dpkg?
[21:34] <tejaishot> i have a problem when i am trying to install updates...shows an error connection to daemon lost....what is this called?
[21:34] <sjm> guntbert, I was more asking if the configuration for aptitude would do for the Software Center too (proxy, etc.)
[21:35] <guntbert> sjm: if I understand it correctly, the database is apt, but I may err
[21:35] <atila> bueno para cuando el capitan america??
[21:35] <sjm> !es | atila
[21:35] <sjm> !ot | atila
[21:35] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: did you try different outputs on the card?
[21:35] <JT_> sjm: another error. 403  Forbidden [IP: 91.189.92.170 80].
[21:35] <Redcoil> Has 10.10 got an SVN client by default?
[21:35] <medvind>  /join #agdata
[21:35] <medvind> haha
[21:36] <medvind> sorry.
[21:36] <atila> hahaha
[21:36] <FloodBot2> medvind: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:36] <atila> ok
[21:36] <feros> hello there :)
[21:36] <atila> well, where are the girls in america?
[21:36] <atila> what channel?
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: it has vga, the white one that can be converted to vga and svideo (like playstations use etc)
[21:37] <guntbert> sjm: at least the settings for synaptic and software center should be shared, and "software sourdes" are shared across the whole system (so they apply to apt...)
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: might try converting the white one to vga
[21:37] <sjm> JT_, looks like your proxy is denying access to the repos.  Can you contact the network people who administer the proxy to see?
[21:37] <rww> atila: freenode isn't a dating service. I suggest you not treat it as one.
[21:37] <tejaishot> guntbert: i have a problem when i am trying to install updates...shows an error connection to daemon lost....what is this called?
[21:37] <JT_> sjm: I can try.
[21:37] <sybariten> holy crap i cant install anything anympore
[21:37] <feros> I'm looking for some help :) Installed Ubuntu 11.04 and is trying to talk to a friend over skype. My Mic aint working :) Mayday :3
[21:38] <JT_> sjm: So you're saying they're blocking access to the software center sources??
[21:38] <rww> feros: Ubuntu 11.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here.
[21:38] <guntbert> tejaishot: no idea, sorry, please ask the channel and not individuals
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> sybariten: wht is the output of: sudo apt-get update    use http://pastie.org to give the output, thanks
[21:38] <feros> sorry sir :) tnx for the help :)
[21:38] <Praxi> On a ubuntu server box I haven't looked at in a long time, someone here helped me add a line to a file, so my server would do something at startup.  I now need to remove that, can anyone suggest some common places I might check to run commands @ startup?
[21:38] <ivan_> ciao
[21:38] <sjm> JT_, that's what I would guess right now.  It looks like your authentication is now working, but the page is blocked.  Can you get there in a browser?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> JT_: you can still access sources in sources.list or sources,d etc as normal
[21:39] <rww> Praxi: /etc/rc.local would be my first guess
[21:39] <ivan_> devo configurare amule adunanza
[21:39] <JT_> sjm: where exactly?
[21:39] <rww> !it | ivan_
[21:39] <sybariten> ActionParsnip: i can begin by saying: "intrepid"
[21:39] <sjm> JT_, be right back...
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> sybariten: yep, that covers all
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> sybariten: intrepid is dead and gone
[21:39] <sybariten> ActionParsnip: i figured so.....
[21:39] <rww> !eol
[21:39] <JT_> sjm: okok. I'll be right here.
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> !intrepid
[21:39] <atila> somebody from Spain?
[21:39] <rww> sybariten: second link in ubottu's message has upgrade information and links to the repository archive
[21:39] <atila> :P:P
[21:40] <Praxi> Perfect that was it, thanks rww
[21:40] <tejaishot> ActionParsnip: i have a problem when i am trying to install updates...shows an error connection to daemon lost....what is this called?
[21:40] <pitoow> nc -vv -l -p 21 whats wrong with this command ?
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> sybariten: if you grab the alternate ISO for each successive release, you can upgrade using that (obviously MD5 test each). Or you can do a clean install of Karmic or newer, I suggest Lucid as it is LTS
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> tejaishot: wht is the output of: sudo apt-get update    use http://pastie.org to give the output, thanks
[21:41] <sybariten> rww: yeah... well... i bet i will need to get more space on the machine...   i have 160 megs free now....
[21:41] <vece_>  mkdir -p jeff/{email,homework,classwork,notes} dave/{email,homework,classwork,notes} phil/{email,homework,classwork,notes} vik/{email,homework,classwork,notes}.  this at the command line creates 4 directories each with 4 subdirectories.  but when i put it in a file called an.sh, and do sh and.sh, 4 directories are created, each with a subdirectory {email,homework,classwork,notes}
[21:41] <tejaishot> ActionParsnip: sure
[21:41] <rww> sybariten: I'd recommend more space, yes ;)
[21:42] <Bilz> this is the first time i actually install a program properly on ubuntu. anyway, on installing it asks me which folder to install in (im installing maple). the default is /home/billy/maple13. Whats the c:\program files\ equivalent in ubunut?
[21:42] <tejaishot> ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1380881
[21:42] <sjm> JT_, in a browser can you access http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[21:43] <sybariten> Bilz: you got a question on where to install the program?
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> tejaishot: natting is discussed and supported in #ubuntu+1
[21:43] <sjm> JT_, (through the proxy)
[21:43] <Bilz> sybariten, yeah basically. is that the "right" place to install it?
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> tejaishot: natty is not even beta yet and will have feature holes and LOTS of bugs
[21:44] <pinkpanther> Hi everyone... I am new to linux and I have a question regarding ubuntu
[21:44] <JT_> sjm: everything opening fine on Mozilla.
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: ask away
[21:44] <Praxi> Hi pinkpanther I'm new also, but ask away :)
[21:44] <tejaishot> ActionParsnip: yeah..
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> tejaishot: so your support isn't here
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> tejaishot: your release is offtopic for this channel
[21:45] <pinkpanther> alright well I have an hp dv3 laptop, and I am running ubuntu 10.10 (x64 -- 32 bit) and my integrated mic and webcam and headphones worked fine, then yesterday it stopped all of the sudden
[21:45] <sybariten> Bilz: uhm... well maybe someone else here can evolve more on whether its a good place or not, but that is not a very common procedure generally in any case
[21:45] <ngirard> Hi all. As silly as it seems, could you please confirm that, for the Intel Atom Dual Core D525 processor, I should download ubuntu 64bit ?
[21:45] <pinkpanther> my mic isnt muted and as far as I know i have the appropriate alsa drivers installed
[21:45] <Bilz> sybariten, well where is the general place to leave installs?4
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: run: alsamixer   in a terminal, be sure all levels are cranked and not muted
[21:46] <ZykoticK9> ngirard, i believe most of that Atoms are 32bit - not sure about yours in specific
[21:46] <JT_> sjm: everything fine on mozilla, so i'd assume the proxy should work for software center too.
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: what is the output of:   wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh     if it isn't muted
[21:46] <sybariten> Bilz: maybe except for commercial software... i suspect maple may be that math soft? The normal procedure when you install software is that the OS takes care of where to put stuff. Particularly when installing via a so called package manager, which is very common
[21:46] <atila> alguien Español?
[21:47] <rww> atila: /join #ubuntu-es
[21:47] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: all levels maxed
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> !es | atila
[21:47] <Redcoil> If there isn't a PPC binary of an application I'd like, must I build it myself with its source?
[21:47] <ngirard> ZykoticK9: Aha, okay, that's why I read about people installing ubuntu 32bit on their machines. I got it. Thanks very much !
[21:47] <pinkpanther> running command right now :)
[21:47] <rww> ngirard: the D525 will work with 32-bit or 64-bit, yes.
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: if there isn't a ppa, then most likely
[21:47] <Bilz> sybariten, yeah its a commercial maths software. i just always take /home/user to be my documents sort of place
[21:47] <sybariten> Bilz: otherwise you can "build" the software from source files, but even then, in most cases, you dont bother with specifying where the files should go, coz....  well they will end up in a couple of different places
[21:47] <ngirard> rww: oh, really ?
[21:47] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, is SVN built-in in 10.10?
[21:47] <feros> *sigh* Giving up, no help on no channels >: Will try again later on :/
[21:48] <Bilz> sybariten, so it didnt make sense to me to install it there. but i dont know where else to install it.
[21:48] <rww> ngirard: yup. x86_64/amd64 processors can run either
[21:48] <Bilz> sybariten, no, this comes with an installer
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: you can use svn, yes
[21:48] <mehwork> why does smb.conf have a 'read only' and a 'writable' option what's the diff? isn't read only = no and writable = yes, the same thing?
[21:48] <ngirard> rww: alright, thanks rww for your feedback !
[21:48] <Bilz> sybariten, never mind, its getting installed in my user directory
[21:48] <Bilz> whats the worst that could happen eh
[21:48] <sybariten> Bilz: yeah...  well that behaviour is, if you ask me, not at all common for linux, but ofcourse it exists. Personally i'd probably make a dir called "bin" under /home/Bilz
[21:48] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: brittany@Zoolander:~$ wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh --2010-12-15 16:48:17--  http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh Resolving alsa-project.org... 212.20.107.51 Connecting to alsa-project.org|212.20.107.51|:80... connected.

[21:48] <Praxi> hmm, how do I uninstall Snorby from my server
[21:48] <sjm> JT_, you did put in your proxy configuration of apt this, right?   Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port";
[21:49] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, so after getting svnkit it's jsvn?
[21:49] <sybariten> Bilz: well nothirng really, hopefully it will make a directory of some sort anyhow, so that will be fine
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: tell the script YES, then copy the link in rED
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: ive not used it dude
[21:49] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, okay. Thanks
[21:49] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a43546e6a9db35770590ea84a70678470332feb5
[21:50] <JT_> sjm: tried, but no, i didn't.
[21:50] <JT_> can you tell me how to?
[21:51] <sjm> JT_, just a minute...
[21:52]  * kehcho sau: hi all || dice: hola a todos
[21:52] <aaaaaa> Does anyone know how to make a bootable usb from a windows 7 ISO?
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaa: i'd ask in ##windows
[21:53] <aaaaaa> I dont have a computer with windows on to do it with, only linux
[21:53] <linxeh> !unetbootin | aaaaaa
[21:54] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: command is running
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaa: seems unetbooting can do it
[21:54] <aaaaaa> oh, i thought it only worked with Linux ISO files
[21:54] <linxeh> oh maybe I'm wrong
[21:54] <linxeh> maybe you should ask in #warez or something
[21:55] <pinkpanther> Should I go ahead and restart?
[21:55] <wathek> Hi all I'd like to know I got the Nvidia GTX 295 which better : installing nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com or getting that from repo ? (I'm using maverick)
[21:55] <frxstrem> aaaaaa: according to http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/, it only does work on certain Linux distros (no Windows)...
[21:55] <linxeh> aaaaaa: there are lots of tutorials for building bootable usb windows install sticks though
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaa: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/install-windows-7-from-usb-drive-requires-2-simple-steps/
[21:56] <sjm> JT_, did you try opening up synaptic and under Preferences -> Network putting in the Manual settings with your user/password under the Authentication button?
[21:56] <linxeh> aaaaaa: maybe nLite will do what you want ?
[21:56] <JT_> sjm: yes, but to no avail.
[21:57] <aaaaaa> linxeh ActionParsnip Thanks :D ill try them both
[21:57] <sjm> JT_, did you try those settings with your systemwide proxy settings set to direct connection (no proxy)?
[21:57] <linxeh> aaaaaa: http://forums.vr-zone.com/mobile-computing-tablets-notebooks/210722-how-use-nlite-thumbdrive-install-winxp.html
[21:57] <JT_> sjm: yes, but again, to no avail.
[21:57] <linxeh> I know thats for XP, but the principles should be the same
[21:57] <pinkpanther> Im going to try to restart and see if microphone works
[21:58] <Chilaquiles> hey I was wondering how can I set up 2 commands when I start up ubuntu?
[21:58] <sjm> JT_, try in /etc/apt/apt.conf puting in the settings
[21:58] <carlos2> hello?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: to run before or after login?
[21:59] <Chilaquiles> why do I have to startup ndiswrapper every time I start ubuntu?
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: you don't. Just add the word: ndiswrapper   to /etc/modules
[21:59] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip: I actually wouldn't like to run those commands every time after I log in: sudo su -
[21:59] <carlos2> can anyone help with ubuntu 10.10 netbook?
[21:59] <Chilaquiles> and then
[22:00] <nairanvac> carlos2: What's the issue?
[22:00] <Chilaquiles> modprobe ndiswrapper
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: use sudo -i   instead, its more suitable to your environment
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: yes, if you add the word like I said above it will be loaded
[22:00] <wilhart> was there another softaware than wine ?
[22:00] <carlos2> i installed it on a dell inspiron min 10
[22:00] <Chilaquiles> right but can I set it up modprobe ndiswrapper
[22:00] <sjm> JT_, you should have these two lines in /etc/apt/apt.conf:   Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port";   and     Acquire::ftp::Proxy "ftp://username:password@proxy:port";
[22:00] <Chilaquiles> ok where exactly in modules I add that?
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: at the bottom...
[22:00] <carlos2> and when i load it up after install, i get the error of missing drivers for unity, must run in desktop mode
[22:01] <Chilaquiles> ok let me open the file
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: use: gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[22:01] <JT_> sjm: can't seem to edit the apt.conf file...
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: and add the line
[22:01] <nairanvac> carlos2: No idea, man.
[22:01] <sjm> JT_, sudo to edit it.
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> JT_: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf
[22:01] <wilhart> what was it lin4win ?
[22:02] <aaaaaa> Anyone have one of those 1000mw alfa usb adapters?
[22:02] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip: do I have to add the line sudo su - ?
[22:02] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, or what line exactly?
[22:02] <JT_> sjm: should i copy/paste this exactly: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port"
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: no, thats a list of modules to load at boot, so just add the word: ndiswrapper   on its own line
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: the next available line
[22:02] <Chilaquiles> ok
[22:02] <nairanvac> I'm having some audio issues.  The other day, I was using Banshee and it froze up.  When I restarted, my sound was screwed.  All I get is static any time sound is being played.  Any suggestions?
[22:02] <Chilaquiles> ok
[22:03] <sjm> JT_, replace the username:password with your credentials  and the proxy:port with the IP and port of the proxy
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: save the file, close gedit, reboot to test
[22:04] <JT_> sjm, do i keep the http:// and the inverted commas??
[22:04] <sjm> JT_, yes
[22:04] <sjm> JT_, Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port";
[22:05] <sjm> JT_, Acquire::ftp::Proxy "ftp://username:password@proxy:port";
[22:05] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, I want to add the file but it says Read-only
[22:05] <sjm> JT_, start the line with the word Acquire and end the line with the semicolon
[22:05] <Chilaquiles> do I have to open it in the terminal?
[22:05] <eazyigz> what is the easiest way to upgrade to ubuntu 11 from 10.10 (without losing my files and settings)?
[22:06] <Praxi> Chilaquiles: did you do sudo?
[22:06] <sjm> eazyigz, what for it to be released.
[22:06] <Chilaquiles> I did sudo su -
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: thats becuase you only opened it in a text editor.I told you how to open it correctly so you mustve missed it or ignored me, scroll up
[22:06] <JT_> sjm, okok.
[22:06] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: after the restart, my microphone worked for soundrecorder and when I tried to record another sound, with sound recorder immediately after, it didnt work
[22:06] <eazyigz> sjm: i'm one of those curious users who wanna try everything early
[22:06] <sjm> eazyigz, s/what/wait/
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: quit using that, you'll break your system
[22:06] <JT_> sjm, just to get it all straight:
[22:06] <JT_> I edit the apt.conf file.
[22:06] <eazyigz> sjm: what is s/what/wait/
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[22:06] <tanath> eazyigz, 'sudo update-manager -d'
[22:06] <JT_> set systemwide settings to direct internet access
[22:07] <JT_> and set synaptic settings to manual proxy?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: thats the RIGHT way to get write access with gedit to files you don't normally have access to
[22:07] <Chilaquiles> ok
[22:07] <sjm> eazyigz, correcting my typo in the first comment from "what" to "wait"
[22:07] <JT_> sjm, correct?
[22:07] <ubuntu> karol
[22:07] <eazyigz> tanath: thanks, is that like a partial upgrade?
[22:07] <ubuntu> Hi :]
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: if you do what I say, it will work, its really that simple
[22:07] <tanath> eazyigz, it checks for development releases and offers you the option to upgrade to it
[22:08] <pinkpanther> mic doesnt work in sype either ...
[22:08] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, Yeah I just added the line
[22:08] <eazyigz> tanath: awesome, thanks
[22:08] <tanath> eazyigz, it'll be a complete dist-upgrade
[22:08] <sjm> JT_, try with the systemwide set to direct and just that in /etc/apt/apt.conf and then from the command line try "sudo apt-get update"
[22:08] <Bilz> argh! cant disable apache2 from startup, using sudo chkconfig apache2 stop.  any ideas
[22:08] <eazyigz> tanath: is it like apt-get upgrade?
[22:08] <JT_> sjm, okok.
[22:08] <tanath> eazyigz, kinda, yeah
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: ok, svae the file, close gedit and reboot to test
[22:08] <JT_> sjm, one question: my id has a backslash in it.
[22:08] <JT_> sjm, do i just input it as is?
[22:08] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, let me reboot then.
[22:09] <helix_9> hello, how can i create a connection to my hp photosmart c4780 via Ad-Hoc  wlan? hplib says this : http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/3441/bildschirmfotohpdevicem.png
[22:09] <eazyigz> another question: I got this Jawbone Jambox bluetooth speaker, and I cannot figure out how to set my audio output to go to it.  I paired it successfully thus far
[22:09] <sjm> JT_, try it just directly.  the quotes will probably keep it as a true backslash.
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> helix_9: set your wireless adapter to ad-hoc and connect to the HP5E whatever network
[22:10] <developerhealey> Hello... quick question with SAMBA...  WHen my users are adding files to a directory how do i make it default to permission of the files to be read write execute all
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> developerhealey: thats really unsecure
[22:11] <developerhealey> 775
[22:11] <nairanvac> eazyigz: Isn't that Jambox awesome?  I've messed with one before, it sounds fantastic
[22:11] <developerhealey> ActionParsnip:  even if its a user password protected share?
[22:11] <Chilaquiles> Thanks guys
[22:12] <frxstrem> is there a command that can set the system proxy settings for Ubuntu from a script?
[22:12] <Chilaquiles> it worked
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> developerhealey: 777 is generally a bad idea and not needed in most cases
[22:12] <helix_9> actionParsnip: i have given me a fix ip-address to this HP8.....  Network over the network manager an can connect - but now? where can i find the printer?
[22:12] <eazyigz> nairanvac: i think its awesome, as soon as I can use it successfully :)
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: if you follow guides given it'll work. I promise
[22:12] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip; Thanks for the suggestion, but do you all think the mic problem is a software incompatibility with ubuntu? Or some type of incompatibility with HP
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: you may need an option in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[22:13] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, I used vi and vim before but now I don't even remember how to edit a file
[22:13] <Chilaquiles> :(
[22:13] <Chilaquiles> Thats why I couldn't add the line
[22:13] <pinkpanther> what kind of option should I add?
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> helix_9: the IP is the one in your screen shot, you can web browse to that IP and configure it to use YOUR wireless network and such.
[22:13] <sjm> JT_, did it work?
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: i gave you the exact command you needed....
[22:14] <liminal> hello im having really big problems with xorg and dual displays in ubuntu
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> developerhealey: theres a setting in smb.conf  that sets the chmod etc of new files
[22:14] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, I know and I appreciate that, but I realized that I need to remember vim commands
[22:14] <liminal> how does xorg decide which monitor is the primary monitor when you have more than one?
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: well you got the gold so all is well
[22:15] <developerhealey> hmm ok
[22:15] <sjm> Chilaquiles, or since it was just an additional line:   sudo echo "<line>" >> /etc/modules
[22:15] <pinkpanther> Action parsnip: I logged in as root and I have the alsa-base.conf file open. What kind of option should I add to the file
[22:16] <helix_9> ActionParsnip: the ip in the screenshot is the one the printer gives himself, because no connection with the hplib-tool to the computer could be established - so i tried it with the networkmanger with - my ip is 192.168.0.5
[22:17] <monkeybox> anybody running ubuntu on a powerbook G4? how does it run for you?
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> helix_9: then change your IP to be the same as the printers EXCEPT for the last octet
[22:17] <bastidrazor> sjm: >> will null the sudo therefore that command will not work.. look at using tee -a instead
[22:18] <sjm> bassliner, ok, thanks for that info.
[22:18] <helix_9> ActionParsnip: (if i ping this ip i get nothing)
[22:18] <sjm> bastidrazor, , ok, thanks for that info.
[22:18] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: I logged in as root and I have the alsa-base.conf file open. What kind of option should I add to the file
[22:19] <bastidrazor> sjm: echo stuff | sudo tee -a filename   iirc
[22:19] <JT_> sjm, EURIKA!!!
[22:19] <JT_> sjm, i do believe you've nailed it.
[22:19] <sjm> pinkpanther, the ones needed to make it work <grin>  :)
[22:19] <JT_> sjm, tyty.
[22:19] <sjm> JT_, you're welcome
[22:20] <mehwork> why does smb.conf have a 'read only' and a 'writable' option what's the diff? isn't read only = no and writable = yes, the same thing?
[22:20] <Guest43930> yo! So i just installed the latest version of ubuntu running along side with windows 7, and the fans are running at full sped for some reason. Lm-sensors doesnt seem to work. Any1 got a solution?
[22:20] <eazyigz>  whenever I try to do an update I get this error: chromium-browser  chromium-browser-inspector "error authenticating some packages"
[22:20] <eazyigz>  does anybody know how to get around this problem?
[22:20] <pinkpanther> sjm: haha well im fairly new to ubuntu... and my mic is kinda crucial, so im not sure what I need to make it work :D
[22:20] <helix_9> ActionParsnip: thaaanks your a 3/4 god :)
[22:21] <sjm> eazyigz, try in #ubuntu+1  for version 11
[22:21] <phox_> I just installed the latest version of ubuntu running alongside with windows 7. Now the fans are running at full speed for some reasons. Lm-sensors doesnt seem to work. Any1 got a solution?
[22:21] <eazyigz> sjm: this problem is related to 10.10 also
[22:23] <Ketreva> Hello.
[22:23] <Ketreva> I need some help with WINE if anyone is up to it.
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> Ketreva: ask away
[22:24] <Gizmo_the_Great> Hi. I am planning to write a Python app that will make a cal to a Linux command that is not generally installed by default. I intend to provide an already packaged *.deb version of this additional command, but it has a dependancy (libc6). How can I check if libc6 is generally installed on most Ubuntu systems?
[22:25] <Gizmo_the_Great> So that I don't also have to provide that
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> mehwork: they are the same, you can use either
[22:25] <azkrath> Good evening, im trying to download a version of open office for my new ubuntu 10 and theres a rpm package and a deb package. wich one do i get and how do i install it? ty very much
[22:25] <Yancho> hi. i switched on again my ubuntu and now i am gettng error:hd0,msdos1 out of disk. and grub rescue> any idea what i can do please? i just have 1 500gb disk in sata there
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> azkrath: you want the deb one
[22:26] <Ketreva> ActionParsnip: I am using ubuntu 10.04 and trying to install a program. however I get an error informing me the that the file is not executable, though it is.
[22:26] <ApolloXVI> my bootsplash is a mess and I don't know how fix that.
[22:26] <nothingspecial> pinkpanther: Don`t log on as root. Bad idea. Use sudo instead.
[22:26] <jkg> Gizmo_the_Great: the libc6 package has "Priority: required", I think you can safely assume if they've got a usable system they've got libc6 :-)
[22:26] <Gizmo_the_Great> Ketreva: try ./executableName

[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Ketreva: try:   wine /path/to/filename.exe
[22:27] <Gizmo_the_Great> jkg: cool, thanks. How did you find that out?
[22:27] <jkg> apt-cache show libc6
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> azkrath: yes:   tar zxvf filename
[22:27] <Ketreva> ActionParsnip: in the terminal?
[22:27] <dexi> Hey guys, my task bar is missing... I mean the bar is there, but it doesnt show any of my windows, its just blank... ???

[22:27] <KM0201> lol
[22:27] <azkrath> ty actionparsnip =)
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Ketreva: yes
[22:28] <Ketreva> ActionParsnip: ty. I'll try that.
[22:28] <silentstorm> is there anyone who knows about usplash?
[22:28] <madjr> @dexi try to add it back
[22:28] <share> hello
[22:28] <KM0201> silentstorm: only know that i could care less if it works or not.. :)
[22:29] <shal3r_> How to find package by filename? For example, if i want to find which package owns /usr/bin/install-info
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> shal3r:   dpkg -S filename
[22:29] <azkrath> ok done unpackaging, should i run an installer from the new files now?
[22:29] <Gizmo_the_Great> jkg: excellent. You leanr something new everyday. Didn't know that apt feature existed!
[22:29] <silentstorm> KM0201 thanks
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> shal3r:  dpkg -S /usr/bin/install-info
[22:29] <dexi> madjr, i don't find anything in "add to panel" for it. Window list just shoes some small lines... I accidentally clicked "New Panel" and now I have a panel-sized empty space on the side of my window, right clicked goes to desktop... it created the space for a panel, but not the panel... AUGH
[22:30] <liminal> I'm having problems with xorg.. whenever I attach a 2nd monitor it decides to apply new resolution settings to the 1st screen
[22:30] <shal3r_> ActionParsnip, thanks
[22:30] <oxyrosis> help me please, i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and the sound worked with the live cd, but with my new install no sound. what can i do?
[22:30] <liminal> unfortunately the 2nd screen is alot bigger so it means i can't see anything on the first
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> !sound | oxyrosis
[22:30] <KM0201> oxyrosis: are you sure it's not muted?
[22:31] <Chilaquiles> What's the best Office suite for linux that is not OpenOffice, that looks like Office
[22:31] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: that's not open office?...lol
[22:31] <oxyrosis> im sure its ot muted, and its 10.10, my mistake
[22:31] <azkrath> Got 3 folders and a green update file,
[22:31] <KM0201> oxyrosis: well, how does lspci identify your sound device.. that would be a place to start
[22:31] <madjr> dexi, you can move the applets around. The window list needs space. also you can add the window selector if you dont have too much space
[22:32] <oxyrosis> KM0201, how do i do that?
[22:32] <Chilaquiles> whats funny KM0201 ?
[22:32] <sburwood1> Could someone tell me the best program to make a photo CD that can be read on a DVD player (not just one in a computer, but more importantly one that is connected to a television)
[22:32] <azkrath> got 3 folders, and one file called update, one of the folders is called debs, should there be an installer inside? or should i run some command to install my open office?
[22:32] <KM0201> oxyrosis: open a terminal, and type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter(thats a lowercase L)... look through the output, and find your sound device, don't paste your whole lspci here.
[22:32] <xangua> Chilaquiles: libre office, kofficem lotus office, softmaker office
[22:33] <xangua> koffice*
[22:33] <Chilaquiles> OpenOffice sucks, it crashed several times
[22:33] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: OO has been absolutely flawless for me on several systems.
[22:33] <sburwood1> In K3B and in Brasero, I found Audio, Video and data projects, but not a photo project
[22:33] <oxyrosis> Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
[22:33] <oxyrosis> that?
[22:33] <KM0201> oxyrosis: yeah.. hang on.. i've red about a problemw / that device.
[22:34] <blind> Whats the best file system for an external harddrive I plan to be using a LOT?
[22:34] <sburwood1> I'll get off the channel once I get the answer or an indication that I need to look in another channel
[22:34] <Ketreva> thanks, ActionParsnip!
[22:34] <dead> on ubuntu 10.10 there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf I see /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ but inside there there is no SCREEN section...so how do I edit the screen section to change resolution settings?
[22:34] <nothingspecial> oxyrosis: tell e3ve
[22:35] <dead> why did you get rid of xorg.conf>!>!
[22:35] <azkrath> k it should be sudo dkpg -i *.deb on the deb packages if im not mistaken right?
[22:35] <i0nic> Why does cron run as uid 0 even though it is under a users crontab?
[22:35] <dead> I created a file in there to make a screen with the correct resolutions I want and its doesn't work so wtf
[22:35] <dead> where is the documentaiton for this ?!
[22:35] <madjr> @sburwood1, there is an app let me check if i can find it
[22:35] <KM0201> oxyrosis: open a terminal and type     alsamixer   hit enter... and see if any of those are muted
[22:35] <oxyrosis> e3ve?
[22:35] <nothingspecial> oxyrosis: blah - that was a keboard hit - means nothing
[22:36] <sburwood1> madjr: thx
[22:36] <iflema> azkrath: is the current version not high enough?
[22:36] <azkrath> ive downloaded the latest one from the site
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> i0nic: if you use: sudo crontab -e    it WILL, if you use: crontab -e   or   gnome-schedule  without gksudo, it will run as user
[22:37] <xangua> the latest of what azkrath¿
[22:37] <sburwood1> madjr: and is it free - open source?
[22:37] <oxyrosis> KM0201, no only mic was muted i just raised them up
[22:37] <KM0201> ok
[22:37] <iflema> azkrath: dpkg -i * will sort the dependencies automatically... provided their all there.....
[22:37] <dead> hello?
[22:37] <dead> should be an easy questio
[22:37] <oxyrosis> KM0201, no dice
[22:37] <sburwood1> hello, dead
[22:37] <KM0201> oxyrosis: i've solved the problem w/ that device before, but it was a long time ago, and i'm trying to remember what the issue was
[22:37] <dead> how do I edit the damn xorg.conf?
[22:38] <dead> as there isnt' one anymore on ubuntu 10.10 f*cking genius
[22:38] <xangua> !language | dead
[22:38] <dead> i'd be happy to do that if you could answer a SIMPLE question
[22:38] <azkrath> oh i see, ty iflema
[22:38] <dead> if not ill just go debug it myself then
[22:38] <sburwood1> dead, who knows what the genius is doing ? loll
[22:38] <DrDuck> Is there a way to change the name of my SSID and create a password through ubuntu. The linksys easylink advisor application wont install on this system since it's linux.
[22:38] <KM0201> oxyrosis: just curious, what kind of laptop do you have?
[22:38] <Guest80259> hi
[22:39] <sburwood1> Hi, Guest80259
[22:39] <azkrath> so for myself that doesnt have open office installed yet, with the tar.gz extracted, should i run a command to install all the deb packages inside?
[22:39] <oxyrosis> it was strange that the live CD worked no problem
[22:39] <sjm> DrDuck, usually through the web admin page
[22:39] <KM0201> oxyrosis: what kind of laptop is it?
[22:39] <DrDuck> sjm: Would you mind directing me to that?
[22:39] <brontoeee> azkrath, use ubuntu software center, forget tar.gz
[22:39] <sjm> Chilaquiles, were you talking about something like LibreOffice?
[22:40] <oxyrosis> KM0201, this is a desktop. i just installed a new motherboard/cpu/ram
[22:40] <oxyrosis> merry xmas to me
[22:40] <KM0201> i see
[22:40] <Chilaquiles> ?
[22:40] <Chilaquiles> sjm, I was talking about openOffice
[22:40] <sjm> DrDuck, the web admin page of your router itself.  In a browser go to http://<ip of your routere>
[22:40] <Chilaquiles> sjm, I was saying that Openoffice just sucks
[22:40] <azkrath> got it brontoeee, tnks a lot
[22:40] <sburwood1> oxyrosis: thx, and merry christmas to me, too
[22:41] <Chilaquiles> sjm, 3 times I just tried to delete rows in a table and OpenOffice close itself
[22:41] <KM0201> oxyrosis: what version of ubuntu are you using again?
[22:41] <DrDuck> sjm: I'm sorry, but I don't know the ip of my router. How would I go about finding that out?
[22:41] <sjm> Chilaquiles, for a spreadsheet you can try Gnumeric
[22:41] <oxyrosis> 10.10
[22:42] <sjm> DrDuck, is it a new one you are installing?
[22:42] <cryptmod99> Hey guys, its nearly Xmas and I need some snow for my Marverick, how to get hold of compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported
[22:42] <anythingj> How can I tell if my ubuntu is i386 or x86_64?
[22:43] <lilphil> anythingj, uname -a
[22:43] <KM0201> oxyrosis: type this w/o quotes... "/join #km0201"  i think i found the answer, but it's fairly detailed....
[22:43] <sjm> DrDuck, plug your computer into one of the LAN ports and it should give you an IP on it's own network.  It would usually be something like 192.168.0.1
[22:43] <anythingj> lilphil: Cool... does "i686" mean that it is x86_64?
[22:43] <xangua> anythingj: no
[22:43] <crimsun> anythingj: no, it isn't.
[22:43] <lilphil> anythingj, no, x86
[22:43] <sburwood1> aside from madjr, who else can tell me a program to make a photo CD?
[22:43] <cryptmod99> no helpers?
[22:44] <xangua> cyphase: using maverick¿
[22:44] <xangua> !info compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported
[22:44] <noobie25> dualscreen problem no one has been able to solve the last two days:  "Top-Down extended works perfectly"  "Left-Right extended  (half of right screen is scrambled and anytime you move over it...it acts like the buffer is not flushed on each refresh).
[22:44] <anythingj> "Linux Tower 2.6.35-23-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 10:18:49 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux"... so does this mean I have i386 or x64_64?
[22:44] <lilphil> sburwood1, probably not so helpful, but you could use kino to create a video DVD from pictures if youre looking for a slideshow effect
[22:44] <cyphase> xangua, did you actually mean me?
[22:45] <xangua> cryptmod99: yes, sorry
[22:45] <cyphase> no problem :)
[22:45] <xangua> upps, confused o_O
[22:45] <tq> anythingj, to check if your processor is x86_64 capable you need to do 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and look for lm in the flags section, the kernel you are currently running is x86
[22:45] <dead> how do I change resolution on ubuntu 10.10
[22:45] <sburwood1> thx, lilphil, but I'm transferring some pics from a camera to a CD
[22:45] <iflema> cryptmod99: if ya try kubuntu for the holidays theres snow in the builtin kde4 3d effects =)
[22:45] <anythingj> lilphil: and by x86, you mean i386 and 32-bit?
[22:45] <madjr> @sburwood1, yes is free and open, there are a few but i seen one that is very good still searching
[22:45] <dead> by editing /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[22:45] <dead> ?
[22:46] <lilphil> anythingj, er yeah sorry that could have been more clear :)
[22:46] <cryptmod99> Since I can get the answer 4 my ?, I have another question, what do i need to install inorder to watch a blueray Disk?
[22:47] <sburwood1> madjr: thx ... I'll be patient
[22:47] <anythingj> tq: I have a E8400, which I recently learned is a 64-bit processor, but I'm thinking I might have installed ubunt 32-bit and wanted to check... and if I am, is it easy to change?
[22:48] <anythingj> tq: I do have "lm" in the flags
[22:49] <tq> anythingj: to run the 64 bit version you really need to reinstall everything using the 64 bit version
[22:49] <sburwood1> madjr: brb
[22:49] <sburwood1> I need to do something for 30 secs
[22:49] <madjr> @sburwood1, i think is called videoporama
[22:49] <anythingj> tq: Before I start that process, is there a way to double check that I was indeed correct that my E8400 processor supports 64-bit?
[22:50] <madjr> ok
[22:50] <itaylor57> Gnea: welcome back
[22:50] <tq> anythingj: yes, the e8400 data sheet says it is 64bit - its a core 2 duo
[22:50] <sburwood1> madjr: I'm back
[22:50] <slide> Can anyone help me figure out what SATA card to get? I found this Silicon Image SATALink 4-Port SATA PCI Controller Card for $14, and was wondering if its supported or not
[22:50] <Jordan_U> Yancho: That's caused by a BIOS bug, your BIOS can't read past a certain limit into large disks. To work around the bug you can create a small /boot partition near the beginning of the drive, or if it's an IDE drive you can also use grub2's native PATA drivers to bypass the BIOS.
[22:50] <tq> anythingj: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037
[22:50] <sburwood1> did you miss me?
[22:50] <anythingj> tq: Thanks!
[22:50] <crucialhoax> I created a live usb and when it boots it stops as soon as it shows the 'Debian`date` Peter et all' screen is this a bug?
[22:50] <anythingj> lilphil: Thanks!
[22:51] <Xintruder_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiVXfhLNjoA
[22:51] <cryptmod99> I have asked my first  2 questions  on this channel and I can't seem get a correct answer, arent u guys Ubuntu heads or I wasing my time
[22:51] <Yancho> Jordan_U, this was working before .. just restarted now
[22:52] <madjr> @sburwood1, ok its imagination and videoporama
[22:52] <madjr> lol
[22:52] <xangua> !attitude | cryptmod99
[22:52] <sburwood1> madjr: and it's in the software center?
[22:52] <sburwood1> madjr: thanks for your help
[22:52] <madjr> @sburwood1, yep
[22:52] <Jordan_U> Yancho: What has happened is that grubs files were being stored before the limit of your BIOS before.
[22:53] <madjr> @sburwood1, np
[22:53] <Gnea> itaylor57: hola
[22:53] <Jordan_U> Yancho: Now they're past that limit and can't be read.
[22:53] <itaylor57> Gnea: I got the java netbeans guy sorted out the other day
[22:54] <sburwood1> madjr: and it works in Europe?
[22:54] <Gnea> itaylor57: excellent! was it a dual install or something?
[22:54] <madjr> @sburwood1, not sure i hope so! u can file bugs if it doesnt
[22:54] <itaylor57> Gnea: you can have both openjdk and sunjdk, you just need to tell /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/javac which one to use
[22:55] <qdb>  would you suggest me some linux dvd that includes videocard drivers, languages, codecs
[22:55] <Yancho> Jordan_U, can you please guid me how to do that /boot thing then? im such a newbie :S
[22:55] <sburwood1> madjr: If only I knew how to file bugs ... lolll
[22:55] <sburwood1> I'm gonna try these things out
[22:56] <sburwood1> madjr: and again thx (even if np)
[22:56] <Gnea> itaylor57: yup
[22:56] <xangua> qdb: the ubuntu dvd¿
[22:56] <grim__> hello, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on a Intel C2D machine with 3.2GB of RAM when I use "top" I can see that about 2.6 GB of RAM are in use and I guess that couldn't be normal
[22:56] <Jordan_U> Yancho: Sure. First off, do you know if the drive is SATA or IDE?
[22:56] <Yancho> Jordan_U, yeah .. no raid
[22:56] <madjr> @sburwood1, very easy, usually at the programs website or https://bugs.launchpad.net
[22:56] <cryptmod99> OkropNick, I'll asking again this time with zero Aptitude, I need compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported and Blueray apt for Marverick.
[22:56] <itaylor57> Gnea: apt_xxsomething -configure java and javac
[22:56] <qdb> xangua, as i know it does not include nvidia and ati drivers
[22:57] <Yancho> Jordan_U, its a 500gb sata 2 on a sata raid card .. i did fsck on all the partitions and they are fine
[22:57] <grim__> how can I find out which process is using that much RAM ?
[22:57] <itaylor57> grim__: top works
[22:57] <Gnea> itaylor57: good to know
[22:58] <grim__> itaylor57, that was a question?
[22:58] <Jordan_U> Yancho: Are you familiar with using gparted?
[22:59] <qdb>  would you suggest me some linux dvd that includes videocard drivers, languages, codecs  -  like mandriva pro
[22:59] <Chilaquiles> Why the time that I have displayed changes even though I changed so it can show the right time?
[22:59] <Yancho> Jordan_U, yeah .. btw from the recovery console i managed to fsck all the partitions and mounted /dev/sda1 into /media/root
[22:59] <grim__> itaylor57, the Xorg process is on top :D of the list
[22:59] <itaylor57> grim__: type top from a terminal

[23:00] <noobie25> does anyone know if i have trouble with ubuntu dual screen...if i'll have any luck with kubuntu???
[23:00] <dead> is this too difficult for you guys to answer seriously?
[23:01] <tq> grim__: run top then press '>' to shift the sort column to the right which should be %mem
[23:01] <grim__> noobie25, which graphics card do you use?
[23:01] <noobie25> ati
[23:01] <grim__> noobie25, for me it was a bit tricky, but in general it works

[23:15] <monkeybox> twinshock, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9868359&postcount=1289
[23:15] <tq> noobie25: are you using grub?
[23:15] <noobie25> tq:   i tried the nomodeset  ... and it killed my system.   had to use grub startup to remove it.
[23:15] <grim__> tq, you mean adding this option to the grub.cong ?
[23:15] <monkeybox> I was having trouble playing f4v files and uninstalling and updating fixed the problem for me
[23:15] <monkeybox> mplayer and vlc should do the trick though
[23:16] <twinshock> monkeybox, k
[23:16] <datta> does anyone have the problem with the keyring
[23:16] <ParkerH> So I installed the broadcom 43 driver via restricted drivers, but I have no option to connect to wireless networks
[23:16] <ParkerH> Does anyone have the solution?
[23:16] <Guest74704> yo- Im having issues getting an 8GB ipod touch working with 10.10. I can see the ipod in rhythmbox, put stuff on the ipod seemingly fine, but then the ipod itself doesnt have the song
[23:16] <histo> ParkerH: try the sta driver
[23:17] <Guest74704> does anyone else have it working
[23:17] <histo> Guest484751: is it a 3g ipod?
[23:17] <Zsolt> hi there:I deleted apache2 config files,is it possible to reinstall apache2 with the config files?
[23:17] <ParkerH> histo: where do I get it?
[23:17] <histo> Guest484751: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod
[23:17] <noobie25> tq:  yes using grub .... i tried the nomodeset  from someone elses suggestion.
[23:18] <GSF1200> what do you mean by 3g ipod histo? Its 8 GB.. im sorry, but how do I tell?
[23:18] <ParkerH> histo: on restricted drivers the sta driver does not show up
[23:18] <histo> ParkerH: from the restricted drivers manager. What type of broadcom card do you have?  and make sure if there is a switch to enable/disable wireless that it's enabled
[23:18] <noobie25> grim__:   do you think you can help me with the ati driver?  i really like ubuntu's look and would like to continue using it.
[23:18] <histo> GSF1200: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod
[23:18] <ParkerH> I'm on a late 2009 mac mini so I believe it's the broadcom 43 driver
[23:18] <tq> noobie25: ah, whats the exact problem - when _not_ using nomodeset - is it screen corruption?
[23:18] <noobie25> grim__:  do you know if using kubuntu, i'll have better luck?
[23:19] <madjr> @liminal, i think you should boot with your 2nd monitor already plug in and turned on
[23:19] <ParkerH> histo: there is no switch to enable or disable wireless. :/
[23:19] <histo> ParkerH: well there are different 43xx
[23:19] <tripelb> update of 10/04 > cant print. got HP driver, installed, cant print. driver is there on the panel. Prints out "unabel to open the initial device, quitting.". Used to work flawlessly.
[23:19] <grim__> noobie25, I'm running a ATI Radeon HD4750 and and 2 Monitors with different resolutions, I tried to configure dual monitor mode with the open ati driver but had no luck, so I changed to the proprietary driver from ATI and solved all problems, had some trouble to install but in the end everything was fine
[23:19] <Zsolt> are there any commands to reinstall programs with config files?
[23:19] <histo> ParkerH: lspci | grep Network
[23:19] <itaylor57> GSF1200: if you are running OS 4.1 or greater than you are mostly SOL
[23:19] <monkeybox> Zsolt, should be able to use the --purge option with apt-get and uninstall apache2 then reinstall it
[23:19] <ben_k> hello
[23:19] <noobie25> tq:   screen corruption only on "half of the extended screen.... its like that portion of the screen doesn't refresh or something....buffer doesn't flush"
[23:20] <liminal> madjr no difference
[23:20] <ParkerH> histo: is there an email or gtalk I could contact you at? I'm dual booting and am on my os x partition right now. So I'll have to reboot first
[23:20] <Zsolt> thank you
[23:20] <grim__> noobie25, I think it makes no difference using kubuntu
[23:20] <liminal> same problem, take it out screen goes right but it back screen goes wrong
[23:20] <histo> ParkerH: No that's alright le tme look something up first
[23:20] <noobie25> grim__:   i've been having trouble trying to proprietary ati install.... none of them lets me run.   how did you get it installed?"
[23:20] <noobie25> grim__:  thanks...
[23:20] <GSF1200> itaylor57, that really sucks. Im assuming itunes has updated this ipod beyond 4.1, eh?
[23:20] <ParkerH> histo: actually I think I already ran those. Here's my forum post with that posted: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1644990
[23:21] <noobie25> grim__:   i'm going to try one last time with any of tq's suggestion to get the proprietary software installed....and then try another distro.
[23:21] <grim__> noobie25, hm.. don't really know anymore, but the forums helped out
[23:21] <tripelb> Must I go back into windows to print?  This is pretty basic to having a usable system. (2.worked fine.2.os update3.fail4.downloaded and reinstalled HP driver stuff5.reboot, see new icon on panel and still fail. 7 prints out"unable to open the initial device, quitting")  please help me print. 10.04
[23:21] <noobie25> grim__:   which forum?
[23:21] <grim__> noobie25, naaah that's not a distribution issue
[23:22] <ubuntu-usr> it is possible to make voice call in psi using google talk?
[23:22] <danielvilhas> How can I install Ruby, RubyGems and Ruby on Rails on ubuntu?
[23:22] <tripelb> oh and i removed the printer and reinstalled it too.
[23:22] <itaylor57> tripelb: What HP printer?
[23:22] <grim__> noobie25, ubuntu forums I guess, but there are a lot of other sites dealing with that problem
[23:22] <tripelb> 5440 jet HP itaylor57
[23:22] <noobie25> grim__:  is it the same problem i am having....where half the extended screen gets scrambled?
[23:22] <xangua> GSF1200: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/webupd8/~3/0kHr49_g4M8/get-ios4-mountsync-working-in-ubuntu.html
[23:22] <histo> ParkerH: yeah you definately need the broadcom sta driver not the b43
[23:23] <madjr> @liminal, hmm i think you should file a bug report
[23:23] <danielvilhas> can anyone help me?
[23:23] <grim__> noobie25, as I said I can't really remember, I'm running this configuration now for quite some time and never touched the configs again :D
[23:25] <Emerling> question:??  yours know the Evolution channel?

[23:25] <grim__> alrighty I'm off then, night
[23:25] <madjr> @tripelb, you upgraded from what version of ubuntu?
[23:26] <monkeybox> danielvilhas, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails | you can use the sudo apt-get XXXXX to install all of those packages
[23:26] <thenumber28> would someone be willing to troubleshoot me? I'm having some issues installing ubuntu (first timer)
[23:27] <noobie25> how do i create an xorg file?
[23:27] <monkeybox> thenumber28, What issues are you having
[23:27] <oxyrosis> help me please, i just installed ubuntu 10.10 and the sound worked with the live cd, but with my new install no sound. what can i do? on a side not my S/PDIF is set to 00 but wont go up. on the pulse audio manager i see that sound is being processed, with moving bars on the left and right channels
[23:27] <itaylor57> tripelb: Did you use something like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne
[23:27] <thenumber28> well, I'm in the process of installing and it appears to be done writing to my harddrive
[23:28] <thenumber28> all it says now is "waiting for you", but does not allow me to forward
[23:28] <forteller> Hi all! I recently f-d up my PC, so I had to take backups of all my files while running Ubuntu from the Live CD and do a clean install. Now I want to move my backups back, but I'm getting error messages about file permissions. Could someone please tell me what permissions normal files and folders should have, and what command I should use to change them all back to that permission?
[23:28] <twinshock> monkeybox, i dint get following two codecs libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev ,is it create some sort of problem 2 me
[23:28] <thenumber28> I'm just stuck at the "who are you?" page
[23:28] <monkeybox> thenumber28, what version are you trying to install? and on what type of hardware?
[23:28] <danielvilhas> Monkeybox, thanks
[23:28] <twinshock> monkeybox, i dint get following two codecs libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev ,is it going 2 create some sort of problem 2 me
[23:28] <danielvilhas> I'll try.
[23:28] <roy_1> hi! my sda has a bad sector which is giving me a very tough time. is it possible to check individual partitions (and not the entire drive) for bad sectors?
[23:28] <thenumber28> it's the most recent version, I downloaded it a few hours ago
[23:29] <thenumber28> the PC is custom built
[23:29] <roy_1> i'm on ubuntu 10.10
[23:29] <DrManhattan> youd be better off savingyourself the trouble and getting a new hard drive
[23:29] <thiebaude> thenumber28, clean install or dual boot?
[23:29] <twinshock> roy_1 use fsck.extx /dev/sdax
[23:29] <thenumber28> clean install
[23:29] <thiebaude> ok
[23:29] <monkeybox> twinshock, you can undo the work you did by the code at the bottom of the page
[23:29] <tripelb> madjr, I didnt upgrade (sorry wrong word) I just do the suggested UPDATES. (someone in here told me the update might have munched my driver. Thus I went to the HP site and "did what they told me to do" download (itaylor57 who has gone - so no i didnt do the all in one)
[23:30] <thenumber28> if it makes any difference, I'm actually running ubuntu right now from the disc
[23:30] <tripelb> roy_1, getting a new hard drive is a good thing. I did it and I'm clam-happy
[23:30] <madjr> @forteller, run sudo nautilus in root mode, then you will be able to change the permissions back to the user you want
[23:30] <thenumber28> and attempting to install simultaneously
[23:31] <twinshock> so is there any other way 2 play these files
[23:31] <roy_1> twinshock, the area with the bs is now mostly unallocated. i'm creating small partitions to see which one is bad. my plan is to then create my usable partitions, and delete the culprit. what ext should i use for these (temp) partitions?
[23:32] <monkeybox> thenumber28, did the computer reboot before install started?
[23:32] <thenumber28> no?
[23:32] <thenumber28> it did this before I ran ubuntu off the disc, too
[23:32] <twinshock> well i dint face any problem playing flv videos in rhel5 monkeybox , is there any other way
[23:32] <thenumber28> it just gets stuck at the "who are you?" step of installation saying it's waiting on me, but does not allow me to forward
[23:33] <bastidrazor> thenumber28: use an all lowercase username
[23:33] <DrManhattan> thenumber28, test your memory.
[23:33] <twinshock> roy_1 whatever partition u r going to create it must having a filesystem , u have 2 mention that filesystem only
[23:33] <thenumber28> hahaha
[23:33] <thenumber28> the all lowercase worked
[23:33] <thenumber28> what the hell?
[23:33] <DrManhattan> nice
[23:34] <itaylor57> DrManhattan: good catch
[23:34] <thenumber28> brilliant =P
[23:34] <thenumber28> thanks a lot
[23:34] <bastidrazor> thenumber28: you're welcome
[23:34] <madjr> the lowercase thing should be filed as a papercut..
[23:34] <itaylor57> bastidrazor: Good catch
[23:35] <thenumber28> I was just using my avatar "28", too
[23:35] <cf0531> hey i have a question, does anyone know of a program that can convert .ogv video files to like flash or .mov or .avi, anything that my windoze using friends might be more apt to be able to view
[23:35] <cjdevlin> twinshock: vlc will play flv files
[23:35] <monkeybox> twinshock, not sure.  Vlc should play those files for you
[23:35] <monkeybox> I can play them on my machine
[23:35] <goltoof_> cf0531:  ffmpeg
[23:35] <roy_1> so, suppose i want to check sda1 (ntfs). what command to use?
[23:36] <cjdevlin> cj0531: tell them to just download vlc player and they can see them
[23:36] <kcorcoran> I downloaded/compiled/install an application.  what is the best practice for uninstalling an application via command line?
[23:36] <goltoof_> cf0531:  never worked with ogv, so not so sure
[23:36] <cf0531> vlc plays .ogv?
[23:36] <xangua> cf0531: or just tell your friends to use VLC
[23:36] <cjdevlin> kcorcoran: did you do configure/make/make install?
[23:36] <kcorcoran> cjdevlin
[23:36] <ParkerH> That fixed my problem with the wireless!
[23:36] <kcorcoran> oops, yes
[23:36] <cjdevlin> cf0531: yes
[23:36] <bastidrazor> kcorcoran: delete the source files.. future reference use checkinstall instead of make install ..
[23:36] <sjm> kcorcoran, usually if you compiled and installed it with make install there is also a make uninstall
[23:36] <cf0531> ok thanks guys
[23:36] <ParkerH> I forgot who was helping me with it...sory
[23:36] <bastidrazor> !checkinstall
[23:36] <twinshock> cjdevlin,monkeybox i tried but i doesnt
[23:36] <goltoof_> cf0531:  vlc plays just about every format, and if it doesn't theres usually a codec to make it work
[23:36] <twinshock> cjdevlin,monkeybox i tried but it doesnt
[23:37] <cjdevlin> go into the source directory and do 'make uninstall'
[23:37] <Jordan_U> cjdevlin: "sudo make uninstall" in the build directory.
[23:37] <kcorcoran> cool, let me go check
[23:37] <tripelb> i AM LOOking at the document print window and the file to be printed says Stopped. how can I restart it? Printer printed "unable to open the initial device, quitting" HP 10.04 -- used to work fine.
[23:37] <twinshock> vlc is playing other sort of files except flv monkeybox,cjdevlin
[23:38] <cjdevlin> twinshock: where did you get the file? have you tried other flv files?
[23:38] <Guest87188> hey guys, i'm trying to make cat video0 > test.raw from my webcam, and i got this message: cat: video0: Invalid argument
[23:38] <Guest87188> anyidea?
[23:38] <Guest87188> thx
[23:38] <twinshock> cjdevlin i downloaded those videos from utube
[23:38] <jimcooncat> what is the name of the default screen magnifier app?
[23:39] <xangua> jimcooncat: orca¿
[23:39] <madjr> @tripelb, for this it may be best to post on the forums, i think you got a bad update , so they need to make some tests and post it there
[23:40] <jimcooncat> xangua, ok, I thought it might be, but when I started it it was asking about sound
[23:40] <cjdevlin> twinshock: can you post a link to the file?
[23:40] <twinshock> cjdevlin, vlc prompts unsupported video codecs , may be i am not having the codecs needed to play these files
[23:41] <twinshock> cjdevlin, actually i downloaded them before so m not having those links :(
[23:43] <twinshock> cjdevlin , do u know the proper video codecs for flv, well i dint face ny problem in playing these videos in rhel5
[23:43] <cjdevlin> do you have ffmpeg installed?
[23:44] <cjdevlin> twinshock: do you have ffmpeg installed*?
[23:44] <kcorcoran> okay, uninstalled, re-installed...getting an erro when launching that i have not seen before - execv: Permission denied ??
[23:44] <dfdfsdf> hi, i did xhost local:root , but it's not saved after reboot, how can i solve that?
[23:45] <monkeybox> twinshock, try flv files from a different source and see if you have the same issue
[23:46] <twinshock> cjdevlin,yes i had before ,but the same issue then as well
[23:46] <cjdevlin> kcorcoran: if you sudo'd some stuff the owner  will be root. you may just have to change the owner. to see who owns the file: ls -al filename
[23:47] <cjdevlin> twinshock: dpkg -l | grep vlc and put the output to pastebin
[23:47] <vallhalla> hey all
[23:47]  * ^Phantom2^ frantically searches for a blank cd
[23:49] <kcorcoran> cjdevlin:  i appreciate the help.  can you look at the output and help me to understand? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/544228/
[23:49] <kcorcoran> cjdevlin:  i am sure i caused the issue.  i had fgrun working and uninstalled/installed...it doesn't work now for some reason
[23:49] <goltoof_> ^Phantom2^:  don't get the need for cd's anymore, now that you can make a bootable usb image out of anything
[23:50] <^Phantom2^> my laptop is a bit older
[23:50] <^Phantom2^> and won't boot from the usb
[23:50] <cjdevlin> kcorcoran: the first letters are the permissions for different thing r - read, w - write, x - execute. it looks like you are the owner however. have you ran the program as sudo?
[23:50] <goltoof_> ^Phantom2^:  i don't get the need for it, except that :)
[23:50] <^Phantom2^> XD
[23:50] <goltoof_> ^Phantom2^:  you change the bootloader to usb?
[23:50] <^Phantom2^> And my car is older too...
[23:51] <^Phantom2^> goltoof_, that option isn't in the BIOS, looked all over.
[23:51] <goltoof_> ^Phantom2^:  mine to, i still ride with pride

[23:54] <helpisneeded> goltoof_ lol np ;)
[23:54] <cjdevlin> kcorcoran: what is the error message you are getting?
[23:54] <glitchd> goltoof_, any ideas?
