[00:00] <j_ayen_green> On 10.4 after I've installed LAMP, and do an apt-get install sendmail, what else do I need to do so that a php script can send e-mail?
[00:02] <a11> j_ayen_green: I assume that you'll need to setup sendmail
[00:02] <cats4gold> Is anyone available to help me install the Sun JVM?
[00:02] <UndiFineD> !java
[00:02] <cats4gold> :V
[00:02] <cats4gold> Thanks
[00:03] <iPittytheFoo> catsforgold, lol
[00:03] <j_ayen_green> a11, ok, i'll look that up. Is there any other piece I need?
[00:03] <chris_percol> lol
[00:03] <a11> not that I'm aware of, last time I was doing something lke that I just gave up and made it go thru gmail :P @ j_ayen_green
[00:04] <a11> wasn't on ubuntu however, not sure what they presetup
[00:04] <chris_percol> hey ubottu, can you help me install Sun JVM as well?
[00:04] <j_ayen_green> a11: well, the users mail -will- be using gmail, via the dns mx record, but this is just the outgoing site mail
[00:05] <a11> I see
[00:05] <pyrite> Anyone have any idea why a USB network adapter would be randomly turning on and off, or pausing activity for 30sec or so..  on Ubuntu, when it acts normally on other OS's?
[00:05] <Darael> j_ayen_green: Installing the php-mail package will probably make things easier, but not sure where to go from there.
[00:06] <j_ayen_green> Darael, ha! that's a great idea (slaps forehead) thx
[00:06] <sam-_-> pyrite do you know the name of the kernel module?
[00:06] <pyrite> sam-_-: Nope, stand by a min.
[00:08] <craigbass1976> chris_percol, gah...
[00:08] <pyrite> Hmm how do I go about finding the name of the module?
[00:08] <Irreducibilis> The volume control has disappeared from the GNOME bar at the top...
[00:08] <Irreducibilis> and it's not in the add applet menu either
[00:09] <vacho> how do I wipe out everything in a log file? its gotten to big
[00:10] <Irreducibilis> I'd just delete it. It should be recreated when needed.
[00:10] <sam-_-> pyrite post a lsmod to pastebin.com
[00:10] <vacho> i just want to wipe it
[00:10] <vacho> ow
[00:10] <vacho> how?
[00:11] <Flare183> vacho: Depends on what the log file is used for and where its at
[00:11] <parolang> Is there anyway I can reset my GNOME session from the console?
[00:11] <sam-_-> Irreducibilis it's part of indicator applet
[00:11] <Irreducibilis> sam-_-, Thanks, that worked :)
[00:12] <Irreducibilis> Now one more question... how do I remove entries from GRUB that I no longer need?
[00:12] <pyrite> sam-_-: Here ya go.  http://pastebin.com/pwFwiiJD
[00:12] <sam-_-> Irreducibilis like old kernels?
[00:12] <Irreducibilis> Every time theres a kernel update, it adds two more entries, and it pushes windows further down
[00:12] <Irreducibilis> Yeah
[00:12] <Jordan_U> Irreducibilis: Just remove the old kernel packages.
[00:12] <chris_percol> craigbass: ?
[00:13] <Guest87924> I need to select a previous bootloader in ubuntu how to do so
[00:13] <Irreducibilis> Jordan_U, how?
[00:13] <Irreducibilis> And is that safe?
[00:13] <Darael> Guest87924: A previous bootloader or a previous entry from the bootloader?
[00:13] <cats4gold>  >Instead, you will need to add "multiverse" to the existing main line in /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:14] <vacho> guys im asking a simple question
[00:14] <Guest87924> Darael: not a entry but a previous bootloader
[00:14] <vacho> how do I clear the data in a log file????????????????????????
[00:14] <jor> hey guys i need some help with my ubuntu
[00:14] <Jordan_U> Irreducibilis: Have you used System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manger before?
[00:14] <sam-_-> pyrite, several things to try: get a new firmware if there is one. it's called rt2870.bin
[00:14] <cats4gold> It looks like this is done, but I get no response from sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin
[00:14] <jor> someone can helpme?
[00:14] <Irreducibilis> Jordan_U, Yeah... I didn't expect something like the "kernel" to be there though...
[00:14] <chris_percol> jor: ask question
[00:15] <sam-_-> pyrite, the module rt2800usb has an option to turn off hardware encryption. it might help
[00:15] <vacho> how do I clear the data in a log file (dont tell me to delete it..I just want to clear it..empty it)
[00:15] <jor> some help here?
[00:15] <Darael> Guest87924: You upgraded the grub package?  In that case, "sudo apt-get install <package>=version" will downgrade to a given version.  If you're changing to a different bootloader, it should be sufficient to install its package.
[00:15] <bittin> jor: with?
[00:15] <parolang> jor: Ask your question.  If someone knows, someone may help.  If no one knows, they can't help.
[00:15] <jor_> anel
[00:15] <cats4gold> fV:
[00:15] <jor_> how can i get it back?
[00:15] <vacho>  a
[00:15] <vacho> b
[00:15] <vacho> c
[00:15] <vacho> d
[00:15] <vacho> wake up
[00:15] <FloodBot1> vacho: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:15] <Darael> vacho: "echo ''>/path/to/file" - you'll probably need to do that from sudo -i or from sudo sh -c.
[00:15] <ben_q> Hello, why is Kate overwriting the file-group on save? How can I stop that from happening?
[00:15] <vacho> Darael: thank yo
[00:15] <vacho> u
[00:15] <Darael> !patience | vacho
[00:16] <Jordan_U> vacho: Annoying people won't get you an answer faster.
[00:16] <Irreducibilis> Okay, I found it.
[00:16] <Irreducibilis> Thanks, Jordan_U
[00:16] <Jordan_U> Irreducibilis: You're welcome.
[00:16] <sam-_-> pyrite, then try running sudo iwpriv. it might reveal sth. interesting
[00:17] <Guest87924> Darael : thanks it d/l now backports wireless drivers
[00:17] <sam-_-> pyrite, there is hope but my guess is that you have to wait for a fix from upstream
[00:17] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[00:17] <Darael> Guest87924: I'm sorry?  I don't quite understand what you're asking/saying.  If you don't need anything from backports, just disable the repo.
[00:17] <kosaidpo> im still struglin and idk how i can make it i wanna call a scipt from anywhere
[00:18] <kosaidpo> anyone can help me
[00:18] <shadaloo> hi guys
[00:18] <shadaloo> I'm trying to figure out if a drive is a data disk
[00:18] <shadaloo> can anyone recommend an in-windows data drive exploring app?
[00:18] <Guest87924> Darael: i wanted to have 2.6.35-24 to be default
[00:18] <Darael> kosaidpo: I don't quite understand what you mean.  If you want to be able to call your script whatever your working directory is, you'll probably need to add your scripts folder (you do have one, right?) to your $PATH
[00:19] <Darael> Guest87924: Ah, so a different kernel as default.  In that case, take a look at this:
[00:19] <Darael> !grub2 | Guest87924
[00:19] <kosaidpo> Darael: well its only one file and idk how to add to my $PATH can you please show me
[00:19] <insano> Does anybody know a good tutorial for installing zimbra on a ubuntu 10.04?
[00:20] <hakimsheriff> are you allowed to make and publich advertisments on Ubuntu
[00:20] <Jordan_U> Irreducibilis: It's best to keep at least one previous kernel around as a backup.
[00:20] <pyrite> sam-_-: Thanks :)  suppose I need to get back on the web and
[00:20] <pluhngz> hello
[00:20] <Guest87924> darael: right"! i diff kernel i want tks alot for that help!!
[00:21] <Darael> kosaidpo: The following assumes that the script is in a folder without anything else that isn't a script in it:  run "echo 'export PATH=/folder/containing/script:$PATH'>>~/.bashrc".
[00:21] <Jordan_U> hakimsheriff: You are not allowed to make any advertisements in this channel. If you're asking about how you can use the Ubuntu brand see: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy
[00:21] <kosaidpo> Darael: okies
[00:22] <insano> Does anybody know a good tutorial for installing zimbra on a ubuntu 10.04?
[00:22] <bencahill> sam-_-: hey there, I'm back again :)
[00:22] <sam-_-> bencahill, y. me too :-)
[00:22] <Darael> hakimsheriff: If, on the other hand, you are asking whether you are allowed to use Ubuntu to make advertisements for something else, the answer is yes, of course you are.
[00:22] <bencahill> sam-_-: :-P
[00:23] <kosaidpo> Darael: it gives me this thingy ti type in sumthin
[00:23] <pluhngz> Hello fellow internet addicts, are we all looking forward to another glorious night of internet addiction, gaming, pizza, coke cans, watching irc text scroll up, googling random information, and getting lazy in our "cozy internet area", sinking deep into the chair, as we watch our monitors?
[00:23] <bencahill> sam-_-: anyway, I got this error upon booting the new install: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546045/
[00:23] <Jordan_U> !ot | pluhngz
[00:23] <kosaidpo> can you please cooect me the cmmd is it all attached ?
[00:24] <Darael> kosaidpo: Run it without the double quotes and with the inner ones.  And make sure you've replaced /folder/containing/script with the appropriate folder path!
[00:24] <shadaloo> guys
[00:24] <shadaloo> what is the quickest way to scan drive from data from within windows
[00:25] <kosaidpo> wxh inner quotes i dont see any Darael
[00:25] <bencahill> shadaloo: what format type?
[00:25] <shadaloo> it's not showing up in the "my computer" list, and a linux recovery program is unable to find anything
[00:25] <justin_> Hey guys I'm new to the Ubuntu community and I just Installed the 10.10 version on my Inspiron zino HD but I have a problem. My sound will not work at all. I have made sure the speakers are plugged in and the system volume is up as well as the speakers themselves. Still the sound does not work. Is there anything I can do in the command line?
[00:25] <sam-_-> bencahill, either a wrong setting in /etc/fstab or in grub
[00:25] <mysticode> I recently ran apt-get upgrade and after a reboot I have noticed that ps and top no longer display the username but instead just the UID.  Logging in works fine, pwck didn't report any problems and ls still correctly displays the username for the owner of files.  Any ideas?
[00:25] <shadaloo> bencahill: I don't even think it's format, just making sure I wasn't using it as a data drive
[00:25] <shadaloo> (I have two of this perticular drive)
[00:25] <Jordan_U> shadaloo: For windows questions try ##windows.
[00:26] <bencahill> shadaloo: if it's not formatted, it obviously doesn't have any data on it!
[00:26] <sam-_-> bencahill, you can find out the correct uuid with tune2fs
[00:26] <bencahill> sam-_-: I got it with blkid
[00:26] <shadaloo> bencahill okay that's what I imagined but I but format is data drive then?
[00:27] <sam-_-> bencahill, that works as well. sure
[00:27] <kosaidpo> Darael: this is how i typed it export PATH=~/bin/connect.sh:$PATH'>>~/.bashrc but it gives me hand to type sumthin after you kno those >
[00:27] <bencahill> sam-_-: fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546041/
[00:27] <bencahill> sam-_-: ^^ on usb, grub (on hdd): http://paste.ubuntu.com/546049/
[00:27] <Darael> kosaidpo: Ah.  You need to change "export " to "echo 'export " (note the spaces and the single quote)
[00:28] <cats4gold> I've enabled the multiverse repository, but running sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin still yeilds the following:
[00:28] <bencahill> shadaloo: what? I didn't understand that :-/
[00:28] <Darael> kosaidpo: Press ctl+c to cancel the input line you have at the moment, first.

[00:28] <bencahill> !filesystem
[00:29] <bencahill> is there a ubottu about filesystem types, anyone?
[00:29] <Darael> kosaidpo: Hang on.  The next thing I say (after your name, a : and a space) will be the exact command you need.
[00:29] <cats4gold> fileformat
[00:29] <cats4gold> or uh
[00:29] <Darael> kosaidpo: Scratch that.
[00:29] <craigbass1976> Can I install ubuntu with a software RAID configuration with the regular lucid livecd, or do I need to get something different?
[00:29] <Darael> kosaidpo: What's it doing in /bin?
[00:29] <bencahill> Darael: lol
[00:29] <craigbass1976> !ext4
[00:29] <kosaidpo> uhm a dopbox script
[00:29] <Darael> kosaidpo: If it's in /bin, just close your terminal and reopen it and it should be available from anywhere.
[00:30] <Jordan_U> craigbass1976: You need the alternate install CD.
[00:30] <bencahill> craigbass1976: hmmm
[00:30] <Jordan_U> !alternate | craigbass1976
[00:30] <kosaidpo> no its not i already tried Darael
[00:30] <hevo> who #ubuntu
[00:30] <Darael> kosaidpo: run "echo $PATH" and see what you get?
[00:30] <bencahill> hevo: what?
[00:30] <craigbass1976> Jordan_U, Bah, I'm out of blank discs...
[00:30] <sam-_-> bencahill, maybe grub doesn't load usb.mod
[00:30] <kosaidpo> Darael: i dont have my /home/name in it
[00:31] <bencahill> sam-_-: ah, that sounds like a problem :)
[00:31] <hevo> nothing bencahill
[00:31] <drupalnewbie> hi guys
[00:31] <kosaidpo> and to get it evytim i open the terminal i shud un source .profile Darael
[00:31] <bencahill> hevo: :)
[00:31] <Darael> kosaidpo: Sorry, my bad.  Misread what you said.
[00:31] <drupalnewbie> have a question
[00:31] <parolang> man dpkg-reconfigure
[00:31] <multi_io> craigbass1976: maybe it's possible to set up the RAID volumes from the live system, then start the installer, which will pick them up and allow you to install into them
[00:31] <parolang> err, sorry
[00:31] <hevo> bencahill: :)
[00:31] <sam-_-> bencahill, go to the grub commandline. you should be able to list all the modules loaded
[00:31] <bencahill> drupalnewbie: hi there :) , what's the question?
[00:31] <Jordan_U> sam-_-: bencahill: grub's usb.mod is only needed if your BIOS doesn't support booting from USB.
[00:31] <drupalnewbie> i just bought a new laptop and i installed ubuntu but the wireless would not work..
[00:32] <bencahill> Jordan_U: that is a true condition in this case :)
[00:32] <shadaloo> figured it out
[00:32] <sam-_-> Jordan_U, interesting i didn't know that
[00:32] <shadaloo> peace
[00:32] <drupalnewbie> not sure how i can configure it..
[00:32] <bencahill> sam-_-: ok, one moment
[00:32] <Darael> kosaidpo: edit ~/.bashrc and add the line "export PATH=~/bin:$PATH" (no quotes) at the end.  Then reload your terminal.
[00:32] <multi_io> when would you choose eCryptfs over LUKS?
[00:32] <pluhngz> someone just msg'd me are emm dash are eff to fix my apt-get update issue
[00:32] <pluhngz> what is are emm dash are eff?
[00:32] <bencahill> drupalnewbie: what wireless card? (lshw -C network)
[00:33] <kosaidpo> ok Darael ill let you onk
[00:33] <drupalnewbie> hmm lemme check
[00:33] <Darael> kosaidpo: Of course, if you've changed your shell (you'll know if you have) then use the appropriate config file.
[00:33] <Jordan_U> bencahill: Where is grub booting from currently? You'll need to install grub itself to a media that your BIOS can boot from, even if the rest of Ubuntu is on USB.
[00:33] <drupalnewbie> but when i try the live cd it works tho
[00:33] <kosaidpo> Darael: i didint get this last msg
[00:33] <kosaidpo> i didnt chage my shel at all Darael
[00:34] <Darael> kosaidpo: Then that's fine and my previous instruction holds.
[00:34] <bencahill> Jordan_U: grub is on the hdd
[00:34] <kosaidpo> Darael: this one export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
[00:34] <sam-_-> Jordan_U, why would that be?
[00:34] <kosaidpo> Darael: thanks it works :D
[00:34] <bencahill> Jordan_U: ...from an hdd install, which I am transferring to a USB install...hdd is fine to have there, I just don't want it to be the main drive so I can spin it down for quietness :)
[00:34] <Darael> kosaidpo: Glad to hear it.
[00:35] <Jordan_U> sam-_-: Because if the BIOS supported booting from USB it would already be presenting the drive to GRUB via the BIOS interfaces.
[00:35] <parolang> Does anyone know how to reset my login sessions from xmonad back to GNOME from the command line?
[00:35] <bencahill> sam-_-: ok, I am at the grub cl, what should I type?
[00:35] <lacrymology> excuse me, syntax highlighting in gedit isn't working for me, and trying to install a plugin gave me this:
[00:35] <lacrymology> ** (gedit:2957): WARNING **: symbolbrowser: libgnomeprintui-2-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[00:35] <Jordan_U> bencahill: Easiest thing to do in that case is setup a separate /boot partition which will be kept on the internal drive.
[00:36] <Jordan_U> bencahill: Then you don't need to do anything fancy with usb.mod.
[00:36] <sam-_-> bencahill, i don't no. but you should see all the commands by typing help
[00:36] <bencahill> Jordan_U: I know, but if I could get it working with this, I would rather that, then I can leave the hdd install intact if I want to boot to it later
[00:36] <bencahill> sam-_-: ok, I'll figure it out :) thanks for the info :)
[00:36] <cdes1145> lspci
[00:37] <shcherbak> parolang: kill xmoand and eventually xservet (than you can go xinit -- :1 vt8), startx (if this take you back to xmonad try gdm)
[00:37] <flaket> what command do you type to search for applications in terminal?
[00:37] <IdleOne> flaket: apt-cache search searchterm
[00:37] <drupalnewbie> bencahill: i have 2 and one is broadcom and the other is atheros com..
[00:38] <bencahill> drupalnewbie: both aren't working?
[00:38] <Jordan_U> bencahill: Just know that to accomplish this using grub's native USB driver's you'll have to do a lot of figuring things out on your own (I would help but I need to leave soon).
[00:38] <drupalnewbie> well am trying to use the wireless
[00:38] <drupalnewbie> and i dont have an option to scan for network
[00:39] <histo> drupalnewbie: what kind of wireless card?
[00:39] <histo> drupalnewbie: well the broadcom card will need firmware
[00:39] <Darael> flaket: apt-cache search, aptitude search, or axi-cache search, depending what you have installed and exactly how you want to search.
[00:39] <drupalnewbie> histo: I did (lshw -C network and i can c broadcom and the other is atheros

[00:42] <drupalnewbie> histo: no hardware drivers in admin
[00:42] <Rhynarian> What is the command line for viewing your graphics card info?

[00:42] <Darael> Goliath: qstardict is almost certainly a QT interface for stardict (ie it's exactly the same)

[00:46] <w00dy> stilia-johny: you mean actual screen?
[00:46] <alphablaster> can you put the ubuntu .iso on an external hdd or do you have to put it on a usb drive
[00:46] <Zelda> Will someone help me with a broadcom wireless driver issue on 10.10?
[00:46] <bencahill> stilia-johny: are you trying to do something special? samba is very easy to configure
[00:46] <sam-_-> Savory_Snax_ it has more than one version
[00:46] <stilia-johny> i just install samba and gadmin tools but i don do nothing more
[00:47] <parolang> Rhynarian: Mine lists as PCI, so try lspci.
[00:47] <shcherbak> alphablaster: as long hdd has booting abilities...
[00:47] <Savory_Snax_> sam- what is wine1.3-gecko? it shows 1.1.0 maverick...that might work
[00:47] <drupalnewbie> any other thing to try for my wireless problem guys
[00:47] <drupalnewbie> how can i get to hardware drivers
[00:47]  * stilia-johny ANY IDEA?
[00:48] <alphablaster> shcherbak,  how can I tell if the external hdd has booting capabilites?
[00:48] <shcherbak> drupalnewbie: jockey-text
[00:48] <ICM> Does the issue still occur with poor performance of large-capacity Western Digital hard drives with newer versions of UBuntu? (Something to do with 4 KB sectors or something, I think?)
[00:48] <noonian> drupalnewbie, system->administration->hardware drivers
[00:48] <drupalnewbie> i dont have that option
[00:48] <drupalnewbie> i tried that
[00:48] <drupalnewbie> is it just me
[00:48] <drupalnewbie> and this is ubuntu 10.10
[00:49] <shcherbak> alphablaster: install grub on it and try to boot (carefull with data, best to have few partitions)
[00:49] <bencahill> !pm | stilia-johny
[00:49] <Zelda> Anyone?
[00:50] <drupalnewbie> ok i think am just going to reinstall
[00:50] <sam-_-> Savory_Snax_ i think it's just gecko. the rendering engine of firefox
[00:50] <alphablaster> shcherbak, is it better to install using a cd or a usb?
[00:50] <Rhynarian> parolang, its some onboard intel chip, how can I tell if the driver is installed?
[00:50] <drupalnewbie> thats y i like linuxmint better
[00:50] <drupalnewbie> all drivers come with it
[00:50] <bencahill> stilia-johny: you can't expect the software to do it for you :) have you gone to Sharing Options in the right-click menu of the folder you want to share?
[00:51] <Zelda> uh, nevermind. apparently they want to work today
[00:51] <bencahill> drupalnewbie: don't give up yet! - Re-installing ubuntu will do no good if this was a fresh install...
[00:51] <Savory_Snax_> sam: will installing one from 8.10 work? I want to try to go back to Wine 1.1.42
[00:51] <stilia-johny> bencahill: yes i make a folder and i right click and share it..
[00:51] <shcherbak> alphablaster: in theory usb is faster (also with some effort you can keep mirrior of setting so in case of trouble you have ready rescue system on usb)
[00:52] <fixnum> Greetings
[00:52] <stilia-johny> but i cant view it from windows
[00:52] <sam-_-> Savory_Snax_ installing will work if you force it but i doubt it will run
[00:52] <farmer|mir> I'm having a problem with ubuntu on an EEE PC 1005PE. The screen brightness goes up and down with the hotkeys as expected, but decreases to very low whenever control, shift, or meta is pressed. Is there a way to remedy this?
[00:52] <bencahill> stilia-johny: how are you trying to view it from windows?
[00:52] <fixnum> my question is not related to ubuntu, but i don't know of any other community ask
[00:52] <ccvp> farmer, what does "mir" stand for?
[00:52] <stilia-johny> bencahill: in network folder
[00:52] <bencahill> stilia-johny: in win, go to Start - Run, and then type in //SERVERNAME/SHARE
[00:53] <farmer|mir> ccvp: It's the hostname of the computer I'm on, my IRC client is set up so I can keep track
[00:53] <aeon-ltd> fixnum: if you use ubuntu, ask anyway
[00:53] <bencahill> stilia-johny: ^^ excuse me, //IPADDRESS/SHARE
[00:53] <stilia-johny> bencahill: im trying..
[00:53] <bencahill> stilia-johny: ...unless you have WINS enabled
[00:53] <jOZe> !dupe Ditone
[00:53] <bencahill> jOZe: Ditone?
[00:54] <fixnum> suddenly, one of my gmail contacts has "Invited" add next to it. I'm confused, does it mean that person blocked/removed me?
[00:54] <glitchd> i keep getting this message at boot up "failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled error on boot"
[00:54] <glitchd> does anyone know fix for it?
[00:55] <fixnum> added*
[00:55] <Zisi> is there a fake / placeholder smtp server package in ubuntu?  I'm doing my own custom thing for mail, but I need packages that depend on having one.  I dont want to install postfix etc
[00:55] <alphablaster> should my linux swap be double my ram?
[00:55] <djzn> anyone knows a program to record a .avi video from desktop usage
[00:55] <nikre> How can i control fan speed? I use ubuntu 10.10 64bit. fans are always at full speed
[00:55] <stilia-johny> bencahill: how can i see my pc in network folder of windows?
[00:56] <noonian> alphablaster, its not really necesary if you have at least 2 gigs ram i would just have 2g swap
[00:56] <bencahill> stilia-johny: why?
[00:56] <bencahill> stilia-johny: you mean Network Places?
[00:56] <alphablaster> noonian, i have a really old laptop that has like 500mb ram
[00:56] <noonian> oh, then yeah 1 gig swap
[00:57] <bencahill> stilia-johny: ...I always hated that thing :)
[00:57] <alphablaster> noonian, thanks
[00:57] <glitchd> i keep getting this message at boot up "failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled error on boot"
[00:57] <noonian> alphablaster, welcome
[00:57] <IdleOne> alphablaster: 1.5GB swap if you can afford the space
[00:57] <Ashattack22> running dual OS and grub is messed up...think it has to do with a recent reboot where I opted to update grub
[00:57] <Ashattack22> any idea?
[00:57] <bencahill> stilia-johny: map a drive to it, Tools > Map Network Drive in My Computer
[00:57] <glitchd> i keep getting this message at boot up "failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled" error on boot. does anyone know a fix or work around for it??
[00:58] <alphablaster> Ashattack22, Super Grub Disk will be your best friend
[00:58] <bencahill> stilia-johny: or make a link to //IPADDRESS
[00:58] <bencahill> stilia-johny: ...that will show a list of shares (or should)
[00:58] <stilia-johny> bencahill: is it problem because i have an apache server?
[00:58] <stilia-johny> in linux
[00:58] <bencahill> stilia-johny: no
[00:58] <Ashattack22> Roger that Alpha, thanks
[00:58] <sam-_-> glitchd, me too. why does it bother you?
[00:59] <glitchd> sam-_-, i cant enable desktop effects
[00:59] <djzn> anyone knows a program to record a .avi video from desktop usage??? (like recording a chat conversation)
[00:59] <sam-_-> glitchd, oh wait. mine doesn't say graphics turbo disabled. sry
[00:59] <insano> Does zimbra need license?
[00:59] <bencahill> stilia-johny: I honestly have never seen the point of Network Places...if you really want it in there, I'm sure there's a way, just a minute...
[00:59] <stilia-johny> bencahill: i cant view my ubuntu in workgoup folder of windows?????
[00:59] <glitchd> sam-_-, i got my laptop with 8 gigs of ram just so i could enjoy them
[00:59] <ICM> djhash like a screen recorder?
[00:59] <glitchd> sam-_-, ughhh
[00:59] <ICM> djzn **
[00:59] <bencahill> stilia-johny: xp?
[00:59] <sam-_-> glitchd, what does that have to do with 8 gig ram?
[01:00] <djzn> ICM, what
[01:00] <stilia-johny> bencahill: vista
[01:00] <stilia-johny> and xp but give me for xp
[01:00] <glitchd> sam-_-, i got the 8 gigs so i could really turn up the desktop effects without sacrificing performance
[01:00] <bencahill> stilia-johny: ok, but let's go over to #ubuntu-offtopic, as this has nothing to do with ubuntu :)
[01:01] <alphablaster> im installing ubuntu right now what mount point do I want for my ext4 partition?
[01:01] <bencahill> alphablaster: /
[01:01] <sam-_-> glitchd, afaik you don't need more than ~2gb
[01:01] <itaylor57> glitchd: it more related to the grapics/cpu combo than ram
[01:01] <ICM> djzn, are you looking for a screen capture program?
[01:01] <alphablaster> bencahill, any reason why?
[01:01] <bencahill> alphablaster: wait, what are you using the ext4 for, the main?
[01:01] <sam-_-> glitchd, even that seems pretty high
[01:01] <breadcrumb> glitchd, ive got desktop effects enabled on my 1GB RAM netbook :P
[01:01] <bencahill> alphablaster: ???
[01:01] <djzn> ICM: yes...
[01:01] <Rhynarian> My graphics card is some on-board Intel chip, how can I tell if the driver is installed?
[01:02] <alphablaster> bencahill, I am using a ext4 for the boot loader
[01:02] <iPittytheFoo> ive got it on 320mb
[01:02] <coz_> Rhynarian,   is compiz running?
[01:02] <djzn> ICM: usually to prove something, you just print a chat... but a better proof is when actually you can record a chat
[01:02] <ICM> djzn: I'm not familiar with any really, but perhaps this will help: http://linuxappfinder.com/graphics/screencapture
[01:02] <rui> hi
[01:02] <bencahill> alphablaster: just for grub? or /boot?
[01:02] <coz_> Rhynarian,   open  system/preferences/appearacne   the Visual effects tab
[01:02] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: heh, compiz isn't really dependent on ram at all
[01:02] <ICM> djzn Haha, sounds like you're up to something interesting
[01:02] <alphablaster> bencahill, I am installing ubuntu
[01:02] <coz_> Rhynarian,   tell which is ticked
[01:02] <nit-wit> alphablaster, wht are you putting the bootloader in other then the mbr
[01:02] <nit-wit> why
[01:02] <djzn> ICM: crap going on the university...
[01:02] <itaylor57> aeon-ltd: my point exactly
[01:03] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, no its not directly
[01:03] <rui> i need help installing ubuntu studio 140.04 on a already installed version of ubuntu
[01:03] <rui> 10.04
[01:03] <djzn> ICM: and there's a lot of talk-talk but no one put their money where their mouths are...
[01:03] <Rhynarian> coz_, yes, it is. Does that mean the driver is functioning?
[01:03] <bencahill> alphablaster: just use the guided partitioning, it's easy
[01:03] <alphablaster> nit-wit, where should i put the boot loader
[01:03] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: so why invest in ram?
[01:03] <mark_> Hey, how do i change the menu buttons back to the other side, simpliest way
[01:03] <ICM> djzn Oh fun -.-
[01:03] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, but u need a good amount if u dont want ur system to stutter all over the place
[01:03] <coz_> Rhynarian,  if anything but  "none"  is ticked then yes it is installed and working
[01:03] <nit-wit> alphablaster, in the HD=mbr if the HD id sda put it in sda
[01:03] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: again not true, this isn't windows
[01:03] <djzn> ICM: recording the chat, I can actually PROOVE some son of a rich SAID something...
[01:03] <coz_> Rhynarian,  you can   sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager   and play with the settings in there
[01:04] <alphablaster> bencahill, I only have to options 1 erase and use entire disk or 2 specify partions
[01:04] <Rhynarian> coz_, ok, thanks
[01:04] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: how much ram are you using now (out of 8gb)
[01:04] <mark_> Hey, how do i change the menu buttons back to the other side, simpliest way please
[01:04] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, 7.7
[01:04] <rui> can someone help me
[01:04] <coz_> Rhynarian,  to open that either   alt+F  and type  ccsm or go to system/preferences/compizconfig settings manger
[01:04] <ICM> djzn, gotcha. http://linuxappfinder.com/graphics/screencapture << This is the best I can do, I haven't used any of them though :/
[01:04] <rui> in a private chat?
[01:04] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: what the hell are you running?
[01:04] <alphablaster> nit-wit, so could i use /dev/sda5
[01:05] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, well im usually running a webserver and a site from my laptop
[01:05] <sam-_-> glitchd, you can also try another kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[01:05] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, and watching movies/downloading torrents
[01:05] <itaylor57> glitchd: I havew 4GB ram 64bit 10.10 and I haven't even cracked half usage in mem yet
[01:05] <ICM> I would try this, djzn, http://linuxappfinder.com/package/xvidcap
[01:05] <glitchd> itaylor57, well thats u my friend
[01:05] <bencahill> alphablaster: do you not want to use the entire disk?
[01:05] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: thats it?
[01:05] <djzn> ICM: sounds like just WHAT i need
[01:05] <nit-wit> alphablaster, I don't think we are on the same page. when you install Ubuntu iot has it's own grub installed the grub bootloader goes in the mbr
[01:05] <ICM> djzn  :)
[01:06] <djzn> ICM: thanks
[01:06] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, whats it?
[01:06] <alphablaster> bencahill, I am dual booting xp
[01:06] <ICM> djzn: no problem! good luck with the uni
[01:06] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: just movies taking up ram?
[01:06] <djzn> ICM: bullying you know
[01:06] <bencahill> alphablaster: oh, do you have free un-partitioned space on the drive?
[01:06] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, no my ram is never fully taken up, which is what i wanted
[01:06] <ICM> djzn ugh -.-
[01:06] <sam-_-> glitchd, fyi i have 2gb ram. no swap and /tmp lives in ram. never ran out of ram
[01:06] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, i wanted to have ram left over
[01:07] <alphablaster> bencahill, I made two partitions 1 for the ext4 and 2 for the swap
[01:07] <sam-_-> glitchd, what do you do to use this much ram?
[01:07] <glitchd> sam-_-, ok, thats great
[01:07] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: btw unused ram in linux is essentially wasted ram
[01:07] <sam-_-> glitchd, i don't use effects though
[01:07] <glitchd> sam-_-, nothing in particular
[01:07] <alphablaster> nit-wit, what do you suggest
[01:07] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: you'd only ever need about 300mb reserve in case of flash and java applications
[01:08] <glitchd> my system specs are not important, nor are they what i came here to discuss
[01:08] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, my system specs are not important, nor are they what i came here to discuss
[01:08] <sam-_-> glitchd, lol. ok
[01:08] <nit-wit> alphablaster, without really knowing what your set up is, and your goals I'm not sure. I just noticed the grub to a partition I was curious why
[01:08] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, im trying to fix an error msg that i get at boot
[01:08] <bencahill> alphablaster: you have already made them, alongside the windoze partition? or are you in the ubuntu install process?
[01:08] <glitchd> sam-_-,  im trying to fix an error msg that i get at boot
[01:08] <sam-_-> glitchd, were just jealous
[01:09] <glitchd> sam-_-, lol i bow in respect friends
[01:09] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: ok, just saying is all; that in linux ram management is different to windows, and btw its way more fun trying to minimise ram requirements whilst maximising function
[01:09] <glitchd> sam-_-, this is the first good laptop ive had
[01:09] <redwings> hey all. I'm trying to compile a driver for my wifi card, but I need to get my kernel headers first. Of course, I can't download them onto that machine because there's no wifi driver. Could somebody do a "sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.20-16-2be-k7_2.6.20-16_i386.deb" and then file transfer the output to me?
[01:09] <skynet1248> Hi I have question about kernel dynamic modules
[01:09] <Yixter> Anyone here got xbox live?
[01:09] <alphablaster> bencahill, i have made the 2 partitions using windows, and now i am in the ubuntu install process
[01:09] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, true indeed
[01:09] <sam-_-> glitchd, try a kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[01:09] <itaylor57> sam-_-: and i thought my 4GB was lean :>)
[01:09] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: anyway could you pastebin the error?
[01:09] <aeon-ltd> !ot | Yixter
[01:10] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, its at boot so i dont get a chance to copy it
[01:10] <skynet1248> is any option to add my own alias to parport_serial module?
[01:10] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: can you remember parts?
[01:10] <sam-_-> itaylor57, i would get more if i ever needed more. not yet though
[01:10] <bencahill> alphablaster: ok, so you have 3 partitions, or 4?
[01:10] <alphablaster> bencahill, 3
[01:10] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, but it says this basically, "failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled"
[01:11] <sam-_-> glitchd, you may want one from drm-intel-next
[01:11] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, thats exactly what it says
[01:11] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: and the problems after boot are?
[01:11] <glitchd> sam-_-, one what?
[01:11] <bencahill> alphablaster: ok, so one for xp, one for ubuntu (ext4), and one for swap (swap), right?
[01:11] <alphablaster> bencahill, correct
[01:11] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, well im not sure if they are related or not but, i cant enable desktop effects
[01:12] <sam-_-> glitchd, go to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ then to drm-intel-next folder
[01:12] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: are you running i3/i5/i7 intel?
[01:12] <bencahill> alphablaster: ok, just making sure, so what was your original question? :)
[01:12] <sam-_-> aeon-ltd i5 or i7
[01:12] <sam-_-> aeon-ltd i3s don't have turbo
[01:12] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, i5
[01:13] <alphablaster> bencahill, is it correct for me to choose ext4 for bootloader installation
[01:13] <redwings> hey, I need to compile some wifi drivers but I can't download them on my ubuntu machine because there are no wifi drivers. lol. Can anyone send me the Maverick kernel headers? The file should be -i linux-headers-2.6.20-16-2be-k7_2.6.20-16_i386.deb
[01:13] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: yeah... i'd go with sam-_- 's idea
[01:13] <glitchd> sam-_-, what did u send me there for? really i dont know..
[01:13] <botdog> is it the biggest IRC regarding ubuntu
[01:13] <aeon-ltd> glitchd: kernek withh different modules for intel cards
[01:13] <sam-_-> glitchd, you can download a newer kernel from there
[01:13] <bencahill> alphablaster: i'm not sure what it means by "bootloader", because the mbr is the mbr :-/
[01:13] <nit-wit> glitched pm
[01:13] <bittin> botdog: this is the offical ubuntu channel so
[01:14] <glitchd> aeon-ltd, sam-_- how do i know which one i need or which one to download?
[01:14] <botdog> ok
[01:14] <bartholomew> join #xubuntu
[01:14] <glitchd> sam-_-, cant i upgrade or change my kernel from synaptic?
[01:14] <sam-_-> glitchd, 32-bit or 64-bit?
[01:14] <glitchd> sam-_-,  32
[01:15] <alphablaster> bencahill, at the bottom of the ubuntu installation page it reads: Boot Loader, Device for boot loader installation: then i choose /dev/sda5 (which is the ext4)
[01:15] <nit-wit> glitchd, see the dialogue window
[01:15] <sam-_-> glitchd, try this one: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/linux-image-2.6.36-020636-generic_2.6.36-020636.201010210905_i386.deb
[01:15] <sam-_-> glitchd, it has no dependencies afaik
[01:15] <grkblood> if i do an ls and it lists file.text for do i make it just output file
[01:16] <bencahill> alphablaster: wait, I thought you only had 3 partitions?
[01:16] <alphablaster> bencahill, I have 3 partitions
[01:16] <sam-_-> glitchd, btw. if you use 32-bit you won't be able to use 8gb. only about 4gb
[01:16] <sam-_-> glitchd, or 2^32 byte
[01:16] <SuperPaco69> I have ubunut server 10.04 how can I restart the syslog server???
[01:17] <bencahill> alphablaster: not on /dev/sda, it has at least 5
[01:17] <alphablaster> bencahill, my second partition is : /dev/sda5
[01:17] <itaylor57> sam-_-: 3.8GB
[01:17] <popey> sam-_-: / glitchd you can use 8GB on 32-bit Ubuntu
[01:17] <bencahill> alphablaster: no, that's the fifth partition (what the "5") means :)
[01:17] <mark_> Hey, how do i change the menu buttons back to the other side, simpliest way please
[01:17] <popey> !pae
[01:17] <sam-_-> popey, oh right with pae?
[01:17] <popey> sam-_-: yes
[01:17] <sam-_-> popey, y. i forgot
[01:18] <alphablaster> bencahill, my first partition is sda1 my second is sda5 and my third is sda6
[01:18] <ICM> Does anyone have a Western Digital EARS drive? I'm considering switching from Windows to Linux as my primary OS, and I don't want hard drive compatibility to be an issue. Anyone familiar?
[01:18] <bencahill> alphablaster: so what are sda2,3,4? phantom partitions?
[01:18] <popey> bencahill: they dont have to exist
[01:19] <popey> bencahill: perfectly normal to have sda1, sda5, sda6, nothing to worry about
[01:19] <alphablaster> bencahill, should i delete the sda5 and 6 and make 2 new partitions?
[01:19] <bencahill> popey: so why the number skip?
[01:19] <bencahill> alphablaster: no wait...
[01:19] <alphablaster> popey, thank you
[01:19] <popey> bencahill / alphablaster my first disk has sda1, 2, 3, 5, 6 :)
[01:19] <bencahill> popey: why?
[01:20] <popey> bencahill: because primary partitions are numbered 1-4, and you can only have 4
[01:20] <popey> bencahill: the rest are 'extended partitions'
[01:20] <popey> bencahill: its mostly for old legacy uninteresting reasons
[01:20] <bencahill> popey: is it fine if ubuntu is in an extended partition?
[01:20] <popey> bencahill: sure
[01:20] <sam-_-> bencahill, 4 primary partition are allowed. so the first logical is always number 5
[01:20] <popey> bencahill: mine is here
[01:20] <SuperPaco69> any way to restart a syslog server
[01:21] <sam-_-> bencahill, no matter how many primary part. you have
[01:21] <popey> bencahill: I have only one primary partition here, and it's got windows in it, the rest are extended
[01:21] <bencahill> popey: just for terminology, there is one "extended" partition, which can have multiple logical (sda5,6) in it, iirc
[01:21] <bencahill> sam-_-: thanks, got it :)
[01:22] <popey> bencahill: can do, yes
[01:22] <popey> bencahill: or you can have multiple extended partitions
[01:22] <popey> bencahill: either way works
[01:22] <sam-_-> SuperPaco69, in 10.10 sudo restart rsyslog
[01:23] <bencahill> popey: true, but I don't believe an extended partition can be formatted, it always has to have at least one logical partition for it to be useful :)
[01:23] <redwings> anyone - I need a .deb but my ubuntu computer's wifi isn't working quite yet (that's why I need the .deb). Could one of you download it for me and then send it my way?
[01:24] <bencahill> redwings: lol?
[01:24] <popey> bencahill: I'm not arguing with you :)
[01:24] <sam-_-> redwings, huh?
[01:24] <redwings> yeah lol
[01:24] <redwings> it's as good as any name i guess
[01:24] <bencahill> popey: :)
[01:24] <alphablaster> redwings, do you have anything else that could download it? eg a laptop,  a psp, an ipod
[01:25] <redwings> I've got a PSP, but I haven't seen it in the ubuntu package repo
[01:25] <redwings> it's linux-headers-2.6.20-16-2be-k7_2.6.20-16_i386.deb and it's available with dpkg
[01:25] <alphablaster> redwings, download the .deb to your psp common and transfer the file using a usb cable
[01:25] <bencahill> redwings: you're on the internet, how is an email easier/different than downloading it? :-/
[01:25] <redwings> I've done that with a few other packages already, but I can't find it
[01:25] <glitchd> sam-_-, yes actually u can use all of the ram, u just have to install a pae type kernel
[01:25] <redwings> I can check again, but it doesn't seem to be there
[01:26] <bencahill> redwings: phantom files?
[01:26] <sam-_-> glitchd, yes. someone already told me.
[01:26] <alphablaster> redwings: how are you online now?
[01:26] <bencahill> alphablaster: :) - what I was thinking :)
[01:26] <alphablaster> lol
[01:26] <redwings> I've got a dinosaur in this little 10x10 foot room in the basement ha
[01:26] <glitchd> sam-_-, okie dokie then
[01:27] <SuperPaco69> any way to restart a syslog server
[01:27] <bencahill> redwings: dinosaur = computer? If you have a usb stick, you can put it on there...
[01:27] <sam-_-> SuperPaco69, in 10.10 sudo restart rsyslog
[01:28] <alphablaster> bencahill: i think he was joking...
[01:28] <redwings> actually, nothing useful comes up when I search for "linux headers" at the ubuntu package site. I know how to use USB sticks and all that - it's downloading the package that's the problem
[01:28] <redwings> I also seached the exact file name
[01:28] <SuperPaco69> sam-_-,  and ubuntu 10.04??
[01:28] <redwings> and yeah, dinosaur=ancient pc lol
[01:29] <sam-_-> SuperPaco69, the same i think, just try it
[01:29] <alphablaster> redwings: okay so you cant dowload a file because your wifi isnt working however you can use chat?
[01:29] <bencahill> alphablaster: LOLOLOL!
[01:29] <redwings> I'm on the old dinosaur, and I need the package to compile a wifi driver for the ubuntu pc. I would use the ubuntu pc, but there is no wifi driver
[01:29] <redwings> there's no chance of plugging it into ethernet
[01:29] <redwings> the ubuntu pc, that is
[01:29] <bencahill> alphablaster: see, I was right :)
[01:30] <SuperPaco69> sam-_-, no I triedn and nothing
[01:30] <alphablaster> redwings: get an ethernet cord (crossover) and plug both devices together
[01:30] <redwings> Anyway, this dinosaur is such a dinosaur that it would be impossible for me to start up the live cd on it
[01:30] <sam-_-> then it might still be in /etc/init.d/
[01:30] <bencahill> redwings: why is there no chance of plugging ethernet into it? you also have to remember dependencies...
[01:30] <sam-_-> SuperPaco69 then it might still be in /etc/init.d/
[01:31] <redwings> Negative - they're on different floors
[01:31] <redwings> it's no fun, I know
[01:31] <GinTonic> hello buddies !
[01:31] <redwings> heya
[01:31] <alphablaster> redwings: you did mention that you have a psp... correct?
[01:31] <redwings> yeah
[01:31] <bencahill> alphablaster: wouldn't solve the internet problem, unless dinosaur has two network cards...
[01:31] <alphablaster> redwings: open the psp browser
[01:31] <bencahill> redwings: you can't move it temporarily?
[01:31] <bencahill> redwings: I move computers around all the time!
[01:32] <redwings> I would if I could ;)
[01:32] <redwings> I'm not in the greatest situation, i know
[01:32] <GinTonic> I can't get in desktop environment when i upgrade to testing, the system is debian !
[01:32] <redwings> psp browser's open
[01:32] <redwings> by the way, I also have a browser on the dinosaur!
[01:32] <bencahill> redwings: how about a windows laptop with a crossover cat5 cable, with wifi and ics?
[01:33] <xangua> GinTonic: this is #ubuntu......try #debian
[01:33] <alphablaster> redwings: dowload .deb
[01:33] <phpjim> I recently installed ubuntu 10.10 64bit on a machine.. when it boots... grub loads but doesn't seem to do anything.. it's stuck at a blinking cursor screen... I can hold shift to get into the grub options.. using the live cd works fine...  do i have some video driver problem?
[01:33] <redwings> The reason I'm asking for help here is that the .deb isn't anywhere
[01:33] <alphablaster> redwings: put it in the common folder on your memory stick
[01:33] <redwings> not on packages.ubuntu.com and when I google it all I get is instructions on how to compile drivers
[01:33] <xangua> redwings: what deb¿
[01:33] <Pudabudigada> Hello, I'm trying to run an executable from a CD image, but it does not have executing permissions, and the properties window only gives a message saying that the permissions cannot be determined
[01:33] <redwings> it would be really cool if you could dpkg it and then file transfer it to me
[01:33] <redwings> linux-headers-2.6.20-16-2be-k7_2.6.20-16_i386.deb
[01:33] <GinTonic> i know this is ubuntu chatroom ,sorry !
[01:34] <redwings> puda - sudo chmod +x [executable]
[01:34] <Flare183> GinTonic: Its a Ubuntu Support Channel
[01:34] <alphablaster> redwings: did you dowload the .deb
[01:34] <Pudabudigada> How can I give it permission to run?
[01:34] <redwings> no, I did not
[01:34] <redwings> I cna't
[01:34] <itaylor57> LOL
[01:34] <alphablaster> redwings: why?
[01:34] <s5s> what's going on with Ubuntu fglrx driver? I'm getting 60FPS? With the same driver I used to get 1500 FPS on Debian!!!
[01:34] <bencahill> redwings: right here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/linux-headers
[01:34] <redwings> Because it's not on packages.ubuntu.com. When I google the deb, all I get is instructions on how to use it
[01:35] <bencahill> redwings: right above you :)
[01:35] <redwings> ok, I clicked it
[01:35] <alphablaster> finally
[01:35] <GinTonic> why ?debian is the same like ubuntu
[01:35] <bencahill> redwings: go to the one for your kernel, and click on "all"
[01:35] <M4d3L> hi, is it possible to switch close windows and minimizer to the right like in windows?
[01:35] <redwings> that's incredible, considering that I googled it five pages back and that I searched the exact file name on the packages site
[01:35] <sam-_-> s5s, maybe vsync is enabled?
[01:35] <s5s> sam-_-: How do I check and disable it?
[01:36] <sam-_-> s5s, depends on the application
[01:36] <bencahill> redwings: sometimes things are simpler than you think :)
[01:36] <xangua> GinTonic: no, stop
[01:36] <xangua> redwings: what exactly are you trying to do¿¿
[01:36] <s5s> sam-_-: I'm using glxgears to check for FPS. I suppose vsync is not enabled then
[01:36] <redwings> thanks for the help man
[01:36] <GinTonic> come on , buddy,help me !thank you
[01:36] <sam-_-> s5s, or maybe in the catalyst control center
[01:36] <xangua> !windowcontrols | M4d3L
[01:36] <bencahill> xangua: long story :)
[01:36] <xangua> !windowcontrol
[01:36] <s5s> sam-_-: I'm using the open source driver
[01:36] <xangua> agg can't remember it
[01:36] <sam-_-> s5s use a real benchmark or a game
[01:37] <KM0201> GinTonic: they are not the same, debian help is in #debian
[01:37] <alphablaster> long story lol!!!
[01:37] <sam-_-> s5s huh? u said fglrx?
[01:37] <s5s> sam-_-: Yes, with 60FPS I can surely run a game
[01:37] <ubnoob> Hello everyone, i love ubuntu far better than windoz but i cant install my epson workforce 520 printer, any suggestions?
[01:37] <bencahill> KM0201: wait, not the same? dangit!
[01:37] <s5s> sam-_-: sorry I made a mistake. I'm using radeon.
[01:37] <alphablaster> ubnoob, have you tried wine
[01:37] <KM0201> bencahill: GinTonic seems to think so..lol
[01:37] <Flare183> !controls | M4d3L
[01:37] <bencahill> KM0201: lol :)
[01:37] <sam-_-> s5s glxinfo|grep -i direct
[01:38] <s5s> it's on
[01:38] <ubnoob> no, but i was going to ask- will it work?
[01:38] <redwings> ubnoob - a lot of printers are actually rebranded from other smaller companies. My Dell AI0 photo printer was actually a lexmark printer
[01:38] <GinTonic> ok ,thank you very much ! I'll be back !
[01:38] <GinTonic> :)
[01:38] <xangua> alphablaster: wine to instal a printer¿¿.........
[01:38] <bencahill> :)
[01:38] <sam-_-> s5s then you are good. did you use radeon on debian too or fglrx
[01:38] <redwings> last time I checked wine didn't support printer drivers, but that was a few months ago
[01:38] <xangua> !printer
[01:38] <xangua> ubnoob: is it supported¿
[01:38] <redwings> bye guys, thanks for the help
[01:38] <bencahill> xangua: what's with the ¿ ?
[01:38] <alphablaster> xagua, i thougt he was talking about a .exe
[01:38] <ubnoob> redwings: thats nice to know
[01:39] <s5s> sam-_-: radeon of course. I wouldn't be complaining otherwise.
[01:39] <ubnoob> no suport for linux
[01:39] <alphablaster> ubnoob, check http://appdb.winehq.org/
[01:39] <s5s> sam-_-: on debian it was even buggier but once I got it working I got 1500FPS
[01:39] <Pudabudigada> So, does anyone know how I can execute a .exe with WINE from an iso image with the permissions set to 'do not allow', as I cannot find how to change them.
[01:40] <s5s> sam-_-: I used to get 200FPS in Ubuntu which was "acceptable". With fglrx I get about 550 FPS.
[01:40] <sam-_-> s5s, as said. glxgears is not a reliable benchmark. also the radeon drivers are under heavy development depending on your card
[01:40] <s5s> sam-_-: My card is 4 years old. It probably gets very little developmnet
[01:41] <sam-_-> s5s hd3xxx?
[01:41] <s5s> sam-_-: X1400
[01:41] <sam-_-> s5s oh. they aren't even supported by fglrx anymore :-)
[01:41] <bencahill> sam-_-: I have an hd3450, didn't think it was that old! :)
[01:41] <M4d3L> Flare183: the command did nothing
[01:41] <ubnoob> <alphablaster: thanks for the suggestion, i will check out wine since you think it will work. this may take a while because i need to download the driver.
[01:42] <sam-_-> bencahill, y. might be newer
[01:42] <s5s> sam-_-: I know :) That's why I'm using the open source driver. In debian it was a nightmare at the start because to get it working I had to blacklist it.
[01:42] <Flare183> M4d3L: its in gconf-editor
[01:42] <bencahill> sam-_-: well, it was a few years ago :)
[01:42] <M4d3L> Flare183: what is that. Iam a little new to ubuntu
[01:43] <s5s> sam-_-: Only then it would load properly. As to why it loaded at all after I had it blacklisted is as much of a mystery as it is to you.
[01:43] <fuzzybunny69y> Hey everyone I am trying to setup sftp so that a certain user(test) can only access and sftp into /var/www/. But for some reason when I try to login it just says /bin/bash: No such file or directory
[01:43] <fuzzybunny69y> Connection to localhost closed.
[01:43] <phpjim> I recently installed ubuntu 10.10 64bit on a machine.. when it boots... grub loads but doesn't seem to do anything.. it's stuck at a blinking cursor screen... I can hold shift to get into the grub options.. using the live cd works fine...  do i have some video driver problem?
[01:43] <sam-_-> s5s maybe one of the driver options will help you. like disable kms.
[01:43] <bencahill> !gconf
[01:43] <Flare183> M4d3L: I'm looking hold on
[01:43] <sam-_-> s5s modinfo radeon to investigate :-)
[01:43] <s5s> sam-_-: how do you do that
[01:43] <s5s> sam-_-: Oh, ok
[01:44] <Flare183> M4d3L: Here is a screenshot of what you need to change that entry to: http://flare183.net/screenshots/Screenshot-31.png
[01:45] <bencahill> Flare183: png for a screenshot?
[01:45] <Flare183> of course
[01:45] <s5s> sam-_-: Hmmm I wish it just worked. I thought that's the point in Ubuntu. Take away that and you're left with very little.
[01:45] <Flare183> Print Screen ftw
[01:46] <sam-_-> s5s y. ubuntu can be a bitch :-) hugely depends on the hardware
[01:46] <lucas> is there any difference between mount ntfs and mount ntfs-3g?
[01:46] <KM0201> bencahill: i have often wondered that myself... doesn't make much sense to me.
[01:46] <M4d3L> Flare183: I see that button_layout but how to put it to right?
[01:46] <sam-_-> s5s graphics drivers are one area off linuxs weaknesses
[01:47] <glitchd> anyone ever get this error msg? --"failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled"
[01:47] <M4d3L> Flare183: nvm I think I have understand
[01:47] <Flare183> M4d3L: What I have there, is the correct way to put it
[01:47] <M4d3L> nice! its instant :)
[01:47] <M4d3L> on windows you may have to reboot :P
[01:47] <itaylor57> glitchd: no answer in the forums so probably not
[01:48] <Flare183> M4d3L: Lol winblows for ya xD
[01:48] <bencahill> KM0201: ah yes, I see now that png is the default for ubuntu, never tried it before :) it does seem overboard, I guess it depends what you're taking a screenshot of
[01:48] <KM0201> yea
[01:48] <bencahill> KM0201: I would much prefer bmp
[01:48] <Flare183> bmp doesn't open directly in most web browsers
[01:48] <KM0201> bencahill: that or JPG...
[01:48] <Flare183> Plus its a native winblows format
[01:48] <sam-_-> lucas, yes. afaik ntfs uses the internal driver of the kernel and ntfs-3g is a userspace driver via fuse
[01:48] <cooper|laptop> hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. what can i do?
[01:48] <bencahill> KM0201, Flare183: jk! :-P
[01:48] <s5s> sam-_-: yes. I know, unfortunately. It's gonna get better. I remember living through hell with my wifi which was ridiculous. Anyway thanks for the help. I'll go and do some C++ now. Take care
[01:48] <M4d3L> Flare183: I have try Win7 theme for ubuntu but it is bugged because of my nvidia :(
[01:48] <sam-_-> lucas, use ntfs-3g if you want write access
[01:49] <sam-_-> s5s cu
[01:49] <glitchd> itaylor57, i know i cant be the only one ever that has gotten this msg
[01:49] <lucas> sam-_- thanks for your reply. Was just using both of them with no apparent problems so far. Just wanted to know
[01:50] <itaylor57> glitchd: and the answer hasn't been found
[01:50] <cooper|laptop> hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. what can i do?
[01:50] <sam-_-> glitchd, did you try a new kernel yet?
[01:50] <glitchd> itaylor57, so what, your telling me to stop looking?
[01:50] <glitchd> sam-_-, i believe so, but im not entirely sure
[01:51] <itaylor57> glitchd: patience
[01:51] <glitchd> sam-_-, im not even sure how to go abotu updating the kernel
[01:51] <sam-_-> glitchd, download the kernel from the link i sent you.
[01:51] <glitchd> itaylor57, i am being patient, just searching for the answer
[01:51] <M4d3L> hey. any tool to read Blueray DVD on ubuntu?
[01:51] <sam-_-> glitchd, then install via gdebi
[01:52] <sam-_-> glitchd, you will then see it in your grub bootmenu
[01:52] <glitchd> sam-_-, i dont use grub directly
[01:52] <glitchd> sam-_-, and i dont see the link u sent me anymore
[01:52] <sam-_-> glitchd, try this one: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/linux-image-2.6.36-020636-generic_2.6.36-020636.201010210905_i386.deb
[01:52] <cooper|laptop> hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. what can i do?
[01:53] <lucas> anyone knows some nice christmas themes for ubuntu?
[01:53] <sam-_-> glitchd, what do you mean by not directly?
[01:53] <Flare183> !repeat | cooper|laptop
[01:53] <glitchd> sam-_-, i have grub, but i have burg ontop of that
[01:53] <xangua> !themes | lucas
[01:53] <glitchd> sam-_-, well i guess i do use it directly
[01:53] <glitchd> sam-_-, burg is jus a face lift for the gui of grub
[01:54] <pokerteamusa> hello world
[01:54] <glitchd> sam-_-, and will upgrading/updating the kernel break anything on my current system?
[01:54] <sam-_-> glitchd, then it will in your burg bootmenu
[01:54] <sam-_-> glitchd, no it will not break anything.
[01:54] <glitchd> sam-_-, ok
[01:54] <sam-_-> glitchd, but don't blame me if it does :-)
[01:55] <sam-_-> glitchd, you can also select your old kernel still
[01:55] <almoxarife> don't use burg on a wubi install, unless you want to repair the MBR in windows
[01:55] <botdog> how to see where has been installed some program using apt-get and what exact files have been written on harddisk?
[01:55] <glitchd> sam-_-, ok i hope it works because i dont think ill be able to select a different kernel if it doesnt work
[01:55] <M4d3L> You password require one upper-case and one number! damn! my password have 12 char and some special char but no upper-case this is stupid rule on ubuntu-one :(
[01:56] <breadcrumb> :)
[01:56] <glitchd> sam-_-, how do i find out which kernel im currently running?
[01:56] <sam-_-> glitchd, uname -a
[01:56] <glitchd> sam-_-, ok thx
[01:57] <purp> Curious... How stable is the 64bit desktop... noticed not getting all my mem with 32bit
[01:57] <alphablaster> how to fix ,"No required driver detected for unity" error
[01:57] <glitchd> sam-_-, what all happens when i update the kernel?
[01:57] <purp> install vmware tools
[01:57] <lucas> purp you can use the kernel with pae
[01:57] <purp> pae?
[01:57] <itaylor57> purp: good for me
[01:57] <glitchd> sam-_-, do i need to exit all my programs?
[01:57] <sam-_-> glitchd, no
[01:58] <glitchd> sam-_-, jus click n install nd everything will be applied?
[01:58] <magn3ts> !screencast
[01:58] <ohir> botdog: apt-get install dpkg
[01:58] <sam-_-> glitchd, it copies all the files. runs depmod and update-grub. that should be it
[01:58] <purp> itaylor - cool
[01:58] <glitchd> sam-_-, ok well im gonna do it now, hope all goes well
[01:58] <sam-_-> glitchd, rly. all you should need to do is click install.
[01:58] <ohir> botdog: dpkg -l will show you descriptions, dpkg -L package wil show you all files in package
[01:59] <glitchd> sam-_-, well im gonna try right now
[01:59] <glitchd> sam-_-, thx again
[01:59] <ohir> botdog: man dpkg will teach you more
[01:59] <glitchd> sam-_-, much appreciation
[01:59] <botdog> ohir, tnx, i'll try
[01:59] <sam-_-> lucas, you may like this background. not christmas but still nice: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/art.gnome.org/backgrounds/ABSTRACT-CrunchyBranch_scalable.svg
[01:59] <lucas> purp:kernel with Physical Adress Extensions. You can see more than 4 GB of RAM.
[02:00] <glitchd> sam-_-, do u know if this is a pae compatible kernel that im switching to?
[02:00] <purp> lucas - gotcha... working it up now....
[02:01] <lucas> sam-_- thanks! Looks beautyful
[02:01] <KM0201> lucas: so how do you install that kernel? just curious
[02:01] <bruenig>  hmm
[02:01] <sam-_-> glitchd, no i don't. but i will find out for you
[02:01] <glitchd> sam-_-, thankyou very much=)
[02:02] <durando> i am running grub 2 to select between my 2 seperate ubuntu installs but i dont want a text menu unless i hit esc and just want grub to remain blank until plymouth can take over
[02:02] <durando> can someone help me acomplish this goal
[02:02] <sam-_-> lucas, just found it today and yes i thought so too
[02:03] <glitchd> durando, look into something called burg.
[02:03] <glitchd> durando, u might like it
[02:04] <lucas> KM0201: Normally with a clean install of 32 bit ubuntu it gets installed automatically in a fresh install (If you are connected on the Internet). Just look for it on synaptic. If I am not wrong pae is enabled in the server kernel
[02:04] <purp> lucas - no need to reboot right? I don't see the 8gigs I am supposed to have still registering 2.7
[02:04] <KM0201> lucas: so if you're connected to the internet, and during the system examination it sees more than 4gigs, it installs the PAE kernel?
[02:04] <rcm> hi there
[02:05] <purp> nm...gotta reboot...brb
[02:05] <ring0> durando, open /etc/default/grub with your favorite editor, remove the # in line 5 and 6. afterwards run update-grub and reboot :)
[02:05] <lucas> KM0201: it did so on my laptop with 4GB RAM
[02:05] <KM0201> lucas: hmm.
[02:05] <M4d3L> I have try some theme and now I want to come back to default theme. but some glitch stay here and there. how I can fully restaure default theme?
[02:05] <durando> ring0 lemme give that a try
[02:05] <KM0201> lucas: i was really just curious.. i have 3gigs of ram
[02:05] <rcm> I bought a dedicated server, and I've been setting it up as I wish. But now I got a problem. THe server has 2 hard drives. And only 1 of them is mounted. How can I mount the another in order to get access to it?
[02:06] <ring0> durando, it enables hidden timeout, which sounds like what you're looking for
[02:06] <rcm> I'm talking about an ubuntu 10.10 server
[02:06] <Hilikus> if i'm doing a system upgrade and i'm asked which configuration file to change and i choose to install the newly distributed file, is my old file saved somewhere or it is lost?
[02:06] <Hilikus> which configuration file to *use* ...
[02:07] <lucas> KM0201: at first (after upgrading from 2GB to 4GB RAM) my old install registered only 3GB. After I reinstalled there was the pae kernel and all of the RAM available
[02:07] <durando> ring0: i may be missing it in my grub2 cfg
[02:07] <UnholyTerror> durando, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html
[02:07] <rcm> if someone can help me, please, say something :S
[02:07] <phpjim> I recently installed ubuntu 10.10 64bit on a machine.. when it boots... grub loads but doesn't seem to do anything.. it's stuck at a blinking cursor screen... I can hold shift to get into the grub options.. using the live cd works fine...  do i have some video driver problem?
[02:07] <glitchd> sam-_-, any clues yet?
[02:08] <Guest51249> If I'm trying to install xubuntu onto an old computer, should I burn it to a CD or DVD?
[02:08] <lucas> purp: Though it is possible to update a kernel without rebooting, it is better to do a reboot after installing thw new kernel
[02:08] <Guest51249> I currently have it burned onto a DVD, and I keep on getting errno 5 errors
[02:08] <sam-_-> does anyone know if CONFIG_X86_PAT is the new CONFIG_X86_PAE ??
[02:09] <Random832> Guest51249: what speed did you burn it at?
[02:09] <botdog> guys how to see the list of a packages you'v installed?
[02:09] <Random832> Guest51249: what speed is the blank disk you burned rated for?
[02:09] <glitchd> botdog, look in software center
[02:09] <glitchd> botdog, i believe
[02:09] <Guest51249> I used the windows burn utility
[02:10] <Guest51249> I think I'll burn it again to a CD this time, hopefully it will work
[02:10] <hylian> botdog, at /var/apt/cache/archives/ is where all the packages installed literally reside, i don't know if this is what you where looking for, but...
[02:10] <tjsco> rcm, you need to add your second hard drive to fstab, see here: http://www.smorgasbord.net/how-to-install-second-hard-drive-in-ubuntu-linux/
[02:10] <Guest51249> Also, how would I change my name?
[02:10] <rcm> thank you for answering, I'll check it
[02:10] <sam-_-> glitchd, i think you are in luck but i'm not entirely sure
[02:11] <tjsco> rcm, not a problem
[02:11] <botdog> thanks
[02:11] <glitchd> sam-_-, do tell..
[02:11] <nihilist666> Hi i have never used linux in my life, but I am very excited to start. I  am running into a problem though. Everytime I install it, there are all  these updates that it wants me to install. Once they have all  downloaded, and they start to install at some point it just shuts off,  and when I turn it back on it says Kernel Panic not synching. Some other  stuff VFS: something (0,0)
[02:11] <Didji> I've lost my root password for my ubuntu desktop.  Is reinstalation my only option?
[02:11] <sam-_-> well there is no CONFIG_X86_PAE config in the kernel. it might have been renamed to CONFIG_X86_PAT
[02:12] <sam-_-> glitchd well there is no CONFIG_X86_PAE config in the kernel. it might have been renamed to CONFIG_X86_PAT
[02:12] <sam-_-> glitched CONFIG_X86_PAT is set to yes.
[02:12] <kk9822> hi good morning
[02:12] <sam-_-> glitched so i'm not sure
[02:12] <glitchd> sam-_-, dam.
[02:12] <prymal> Didji: did you set one?
[02:12] <Didji> Yeah.
[02:12] <Didji> Pretty sure anyway.
[02:12] <nihilist666> so how do I fix that exactly?
[02:12] <sam-_-> glitchd, just try it and you will know.
[02:12] <Didji> I'm prompted for one when using sudo.
[02:13] <the_file> Im looking for an addon for firefox that will use the websites ip address over dns, however I would have to start ip browsing, the addon would not do a dns lookup, just rewrite the urls to the ip per site
[02:13] <sam-_-> glitchd, i'm 99% sure it won't hurt
[02:13] <glitchd> sam-_-, well i dont want to break or make my system crappier
[02:13] <the_file> any1 knows?.
[02:13] <kk9822> hi i want to know some window based prog like forex4you when launched gives a error saying mfc42.dll error
[02:13] <glitchd> sam-_-, ill jus do it nd see what happens
[02:13] <sam-_-> glitchd, you can always go back by uninstalling the new kernel
[02:13] <kk9822> can any one help me how to fix this
[02:13] <prymal> Didji: root and sudo are different, are you after your root password, or have you forgotten your sudo password?
[02:14] <sacarlson> nihilist666: I see vfs so does that mean you installed with wubi  from your windows operating system?
[02:14] <Didji> prymal: then I've forgotten my sudo password.
[02:14] <hylian> nihilist666, hmm, i've never heard of that error. i have had errors before with hardware, but never that serious, ill take a look and see what i can see
[02:14] <kk9822> when i asked the customer care they say change the platform to windows
[02:14] <nihilist666> Yeah I had vista
[02:14] <kk9822> this is irritating
[02:14] <lucas> kk9822: have you tried to set mfc42.dll on native on wine?
[02:15] <kk9822> on wine
[02:15] <Guest51249> Burning xubuntu to cd now
[02:15] <Didji> prymal: ah, should this work? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-forgotten-ubuntu-password-in-2-minutes-or-less/
[02:15] <sacarlson> nihilist666: so installed wubi from vista,  does you vista have enuf space on the hard disk?  doesn't sound like the error I would expect for it but.
[02:15] <glitchd> sam-_-, wish me luck
[02:16] <cooper|laptop> hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. the drive's uuid is not correct. what can i do?
[02:16] <sam-_-> glitchd, i don't think you need it :-)
[02:16] <UnholyTerror> nihilist666, yeah, how big is the virtual HD you created?
[02:16] <xangua> Guest51249: burn it as image
[02:16] <glitchd> sam-_-, either way tho
[02:16] <tjsco> Didji, check this out http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub
[02:16] <lucas> kk9822: just go to http://appdb.winehq.org/ to see if your windows app is compatible enough to run on wine
[02:16] <venilsurya> Can I run bitdefender on a .vdi file to check my virtual OS for viruses? Or do I have to install an antivirus inside the virtual OS?
[02:16] <kk9822_> ok i will do it thanks
[02:16] <nihilist666> Yeah I wiped everything it isnt even a seperate partition. It is Ubuntu 10.04 came with a Linux Format magazine. 250GB hard drive
[02:17] <magn3ts> How is there not a better screencast utility for linux?
[02:17] <Didji> okay tjsco, thanks.
[02:17] <sam-_-> glitchd, ok i found out now. it's not a pae-enabled kernel
[02:17] <Cosmo`> lo ... has anyone got a link to how to fix the nvidia driver after a kernel upgrade?
[02:17] <glitchd> sam-_-, so i should uninstall it now, huh?
[02:17] <sam-_-> glitchd, but 4gb of ram should be enough on a desktop
[02:17] <Cosmo`> X just says that module "nvidia" is invalid and won't start
[02:17] <magn3ts> GTK-RecordMyDesktop is impossible to select anything in a 100x200px version of my desktop that's over 10x that size... Istanbul is unmainted for nearly four years and xvidcap for nearly 5.
[02:17] <sam-_-> glitchd, you can still use it
[02:17] <sam-_-> glitchd, but you won't have 8gb of ram
[02:17] <glitchd> sam-_-, i want all my ram used.
[02:17] <cooper|laptop> hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. the drive's uuid is not correct. what can i do?
[02:18] <xangua> magn3ts: go to omg!ubuntu! blog and look fore some fany tools
[02:18] <venilsurya> Can I run bitdefender on a .vdi file to check my virtual OS for viruses? Or do I have to install an antivirus inside the virtual OS?
[02:18] <hylian> nihilist666, i looked up this error, and it usually has something to do with grub or lilo pointing towards the wrong partition.. anyone else ever hear of this?
[02:18] <UnholyTerror> nihilist666, you could try doing the updates in smaller batches...
[02:18] <xangua> !repeat | cooper|laptop
[02:18] <sam-_-> glitchd, well then compile the kernel yourself or switch to 64bit or switch to natty
[02:18] <sam-_-> glitchd, i would recommend neither :-)
[02:18] <glitchd> sam-_-, natty isnt out yet
[02:18] <magn3ts> xangua, good call, I'll have to update the wiki page.
[02:18] <sam-_-> glitchd, the alpha or beta is
[02:19] <botdog> hylian, where in the file system are the another packages, which have been installed by default, or at least where is the file where the list of all packages is ?
[02:19] <glitchd> sam-_-, besides i wait a lil while till after it comes out so more bugs can get ironed out
[02:19] <lucas> Cosmo`: What kernel did you use? One on the repository, or did you compile it yourself?
[02:19] <sam-_-> glitchd, very advisable
[02:19] <Cosmo`> just the latest in the 10.10 repo
[02:19] <saintly> Im having issues with Flash on Xubuntu 10.10, ive installed both adobe and gnash, and neither is allieviating the issue.
[02:19] <Cosmo`> i can't recall the exact version
[02:20] <hylian> botdog, as for a list, i don't know of one. my "list" is the contents of /var/apt/cache/archives/.
[02:20] <xangua> saintly: having installed 2 or more flash plugin makes all unusable
[02:20] <cats4gold> What was the ubuntu pastebin link again?
[02:20]  * sam-_- needs a beer
[02:20]  * ICM grabs sam-_- a yuengling 
[02:20] <saintly> Xangua: so i should uninstall which one? im assuming Gnash?
[02:20] <xangua> cats4gold: use any pastebon ypu want
[02:20] <cats4gold> xangua: good call V:
[02:20] <glitchd> sam-_-, so after i reboot, if i dont like the new kernel, how do i remove it?
[02:20] <xangua> saintly: if you want All flash content to play, yes
[02:20] <hylian> botdog, i goofed up, it's /var/cache/apt/archive
[02:20] <lucas> Cosmo`: well, I had some similar issue. I think I solved it by reinstalling the NVIDIA driver, because at first the nvidia modules didn't compile against the new kernel
[02:21] <cooper|laptop> hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. the drive's uuid is not correct. what can i do?
[02:21] <ICM> Does Ubuntu have native A2DP support?
[02:21] <sacarlson> saintly: and what is the issue?  I had slow screens in flash video (like youtube) until I started using the propriatary nvidia drivers on my system.
[02:21] <Cosmo`> right, that makes sense, can you tell me which main metapackage i need to reinstall lucas?
[02:21] <saintly> xangua: thank you, alot more support here than in the Xubuntu irc
[02:21] <Cosmo`> (i didn't install it manually, i just let the driver updater do its thing)
[02:21] <nihilist666> Batches? Virtual HD? I dont think that I made a virtual HD. Umm would anyone be willing to hit me up with a private message so I can keep up. I have never done IRC before this is totally crazy. As long as the updates arent installed everything is fine.
[02:21] <HP_pavilion> are there a lot of known new issues with the broadcom b43 on the lucid release?
[02:22] <HP_pavilion> having flakey connections over wifi now after kernel updates the other day...
[02:22] <nihilist666> Ubuntu is the only thing on my comp now. There is no other partition.
[02:22] <cats4gold> So, I try to set Sun Java 6 as the default jvm with "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun", but I get this result: http://pastebin.com/hhpRqPpw Any advice?
[02:22] <glitchd> sam-_-, ?
[02:22] <saintly> sacarlson: im using opera right now, and it works, i dont know if its glithy yet, ill have to try a few different things.
[02:22] <hylian> botdog, if your trying to see if a specific package is installed, or what a specific package is called, you can sudo apt-cache search 'name of package', i.e. sudo apt-cache search firefox
[02:22] <Mountian_Man> is there a place where i can find a list of rooms?
[02:23] <HP_pavilion> type /list
[02:23] <lucas> Cosmo`: I think it is better to look for everything related to nvidia on synaptic and uninstall it. After that it depends on how old your nvidia card is. I use the nvidia-latest metapackage
[02:23] <sam-_-> glitchd, sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.36*
[02:23] <Mountian_Man> thank you HP
[02:23] <Cosmo`> alright, thanks lucas, it should be fine, it's a 9600M GT in a macbook
[02:23] <Christiannn> hi iam getting this error when iam trying to perl a file Can't locate HTTP/Request.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at escan.txt line 12.
[02:23] <Christiannn> BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at escan.txt line 12.
[02:23] <Cosmo`> i'll give it a go, thanks
[02:23] <ProfessorBacon> lerl
[02:23] <sam-_-> glitchd, had to fetch a beer. patience brother :-)
[02:23] <cooper|laptop> hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. the drive's uuid is not correct. what can i do?
[02:24] <fffu> lol how to print file after 1st line?
[02:24] <Didji> So the document I'm following tells me to press esc "as soon as I see the grub loading screen" but I see no such screen.  What should it look like?
[02:24] <lucas> Cosmo`: don't forget after installation to do a "sudo nvidia-xconfig".
[02:24] <Cosmo`> yep, will do
[02:24] <Cosmo`> thanks :)
[02:24] <botdog> hylian, tnx for the answer
[02:24] <glitchd> sam-_-, will that automatically reinstall or activate my previous kernel?
[02:24] <Mountian_Man> \list
[02:24] <taranm> cooper|laptop, backing up your data and reinstalling would probably be your best bet i reckon
[02:24] <hylian> botdog, did that help?
[02:25] <rcm> well
[02:25] <rcm> it says it is mounted
[02:25] <cooper|laptop> taranm: for some reason, the installer doesn't recognize my drive when it is in the sata3 port
[02:25] <Didji> How can I tell when I'm looking at the GRUB loading screen/
[02:25] <hylian> Christiannn, are you trying to install curses or ncurses?
[02:25] <Didji> ?
[02:25] <sam-_-> glitchd your previous kernel never gets deactivate. you can always select it from the boot menu even if the new kernel is installed
[02:25] <cooper|laptop> taranm: which is why i used the sata ii port in the first place, hoping that i could switch it later and expect it to work
[02:26] <cats4gold> So, I try to set Sun Java 6 as the default jvm with "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun", but I get this result: http://pastebin.com/hhpRqPpw Any advice?
[02:26] <glitchd> sam-_-, ok
[02:26] <nihilist666>  I read something about it possibly being some sort of driver issue?
[02:26] <glitchd> sam-_-, well im gonna reboot to see how it is
[02:26] <sacarlson> cooper|laptop: you should be able to modify the /etc/fstab file to fix it.  I'm not sure why it can't find the uuid.  maybe you custom modified you fstab file?
[02:26] <kk9822> hi it never gives a clear pic
[02:27] <taranm> cooper|laptop, that's odd, as there is no physical difference between the sata variants
[02:27] <ring0> durando, did it work out?
[02:27] <lucas> cats4gold: did you try "sudo update-alternatives --config java"?
[02:27] <sam-_-> cats4gold, did you install sun java in the first place?
[02:27] <cooper|laptop> sacarlson: no, i didn't
[02:27] <cooper|laptop> sacarlson: i didn't do anything at all but install ubuntu and move to the sata3
[02:27] <cats4gold> sam-_-, update-java-alternatives -l says I have
[02:28] <cats4gold> lucas: no, I'll try it
[02:28] <sacarlson> cooper|laptop: try live cd boot and see what the disks uuid is and verify that it matches the fstab file.  if it does just try replace it with /dev/sdaX  X being modifed to match what it really is
[02:28] <cooper|laptop> sacarlson: i am confused because in initrramfs shell that it is taking me to, the drive is not showing up at all in /dev
[02:29] <cats4gold> okay, it apparently was default anyway, despite the errors.
[02:29] <cats4gold> Thanks
[02:29] <sacarlson> cooper|laptop: that makes more sence the sata port you pluged into isn't active
[02:29] <phpjim> I have a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 64bit..  After the install goes fine (and everything in the install CD looks/works fine, the 'try ubuntu!' from the cd feature works great)....  reboot to a blinking cursor after grub starts.  I can hold SHIFT during boot and have the grub menu come up fine, but when I select a configuration I go to the blinking cursor screen.Any suggestions?
[02:29] <fffu> how to print text file after 1st line?
[02:30] <cooper|laptop> sacarlson: so i should try using livecd and fix it?
[02:30] <taranm> hi guys; i've been working on an active/passive cluster using pacemaker/heartbeat with drbd syncing data for virtual machines between two servers. it is causing me infinite amounts of grief. i'm at a point where the pacemaker crm is returning 'unknown exec error', but nothing in syslog or crm_verify. is there an alternative to pacemaker or something? :\
[02:30] <sam-_-> fffu like omit the first line?
[02:30] <sacarlson> cooper|laptop: sounds like hardware you need to fix that first I think
[02:30] <fffu> yes
[02:30] <hylian> phpjim, do you have more than one hard drive?
[02:30] <phpjim> hylian, yes
[02:30] <ICM> I'm about to order computer parts for a new build- is there any way to check if Linux (specifically Ubuntu 10.10) will run fine on the hardware before I order it?
[02:31] <sacarlson> cooper|laptop: move it to an active sata port or maybe there is a bios setting that needs to be changed
[02:31] <phpjim> ICM, system76 looks to sell decently priced hardware
[02:31] <chaos2358> does anyone in here use amsn?
[02:31] <phpjim> ICM, specializing in linux machines
[02:31] <cooper|laptop> sacarlson: i have it set as a raid array, and the bios is recognizing it
[02:31] <durando> ring0: working on it
[02:31] <cooper|laptop> it is enabled
[02:31] <ICM> phpjim No, ordering from NewEgg
[02:31] <sacarlson> cooper|laptop: oh that adds more complication,  I'm not sure about that then
[02:31] <sam-_-> fffu, there is tail but i don't think that is quite what your looking for?
[02:31] <lucas> cooper|laptop: have you anything attached on the ATA port?
[02:32] <hylian> phpjim, i have a mix of drives, a sata and an ata (ide). ubuntu likes to install to one drive, and put the grub or lilo boot loader on the other. if i dont force ubuntu to install to the boot drive, i have a similar problem.
[02:32] <chaos2358> does anyone in here use amsn?
[02:33] <hylian> im gonna switch to my other pc, be back in 5.
[02:33] <KM0201> chaos2358: negative... no luck w/ gyachi i assume?
[02:33] <t-b0n3> does anyone here have a working knowledge of pacemaker cluster configuration?
[02:34] <chaos2358> KM0201,  nope i even tried compiling it from source
[02:34] <fffu> rofl it really is "tail -q -n +2", how nonintuitive :(
[02:34] <KM0201> chaos2358: ugh... are you wanting to test it?... cuz i'll install it if thats the case, but i don't have a camera/mic
[02:34] <sacarlson> cooper|laptop: so if it was setup as an array in bios seems you would be very limited in being able to move a single drive.  you would have to move things as a pair or whatever number your raid is using.   your problem is probly in the raid settings and there limitations
[02:34] <phpjim> hylian; so I need to get involved with  the grub configuration when I install?
[02:35] <lucas> sacarlson: have you anything attached on the ATA port?
[02:35] <chaos2358> KM0201,  no i tried it on two different laptops. video chat works fine no voice chat
[02:35] <hylian> okm im back
[02:35] <KM0201> chaos2358: is that for gyachi or for amsn? (or both)
[02:35] <sacarlson> lucas: you must have been wanting to chat with cooper|laptop?
[02:38] <Zelda> well enjoy people.
[02:38] <kendrickLeiter> Is there some form of zork in the repos?
[02:38] <dwarder> what is zork
[02:38] <chaos2358> KM0201,  thats just gyachi
[02:38] <dwarder> a bad guy from element 5?
[02:38] <chaos2358> KM0201,  i cant even log into amsn
[02:38] <t-b0n3> no one knows anything about pacemaker, (or perhaps any other high availability programs?)
[02:39] <chaos2358> KM0201, amsn gives me a cannot connect to server error
[02:39] <KM0201> chaos2358: hmm, why can't you log in to amsn?  as for gyachi... have you considered getting a "plug in" mic...  i could never get skype to work w/ my internal mic, but i took a mic from some game my nephew had, and plugged it into my laptop, and it worked flawlessly
[02:40] <chaos2358> KM0201,  with gyachi i tried my internal mic, a bluetooth headset, and a a plug in mic. went and bought a plug in mic just for it
[02:40] <magn3ts> Is there a channel for the wiki?
[02:40] <r00t4rd3d> t-b0n3, pacemaker is beyond the scope of this channel.
[02:40] <chaos2358> KM0201,  i dont know whats up with amsn it says error connecting to server
[02:41] <r00t4rd3d> and ubuntu really isnt designed for that type of stuff
[02:41] <KM0201> chaos2358: when you tried the plug in mic, did you change your sound setting sto "line in"
[02:41] <shadaloo> hi guys
[02:41] <KM0201> for the input
[02:41] <chaos2358> KM0201, yep
[02:41] <shadaloo> I have an external hard drive that is not responding
[02:41] <shadaloo> can someone help get it back
[02:41] <fffu> is there a console command to lock file so noone could write or remove it while I am at him?
[02:41] <Blueshift> shadaloo
[02:41] <shadaloo> yes Blueshift
[02:42] <Blueshift> hirens boot cd
[02:42] <lucas> chaos2358: maybe ports to amsn are closed by the firewall
[02:42] <shadaloo> googling
[02:42] <r00t4rd3d> you need a boot cd for an external hard drive ?
[02:42] <Blueshift> if the drive spins up you can even make a raw data backup
[02:42] <fffu> except my process and its children?
[02:42] <shadaloo> Blueshift: thank you my friend
[02:42] <chaos2358> lucas how would i test that? nothing else on my pc has trouble connecting
[02:42] <shadaloo> Blueshift: never happened before, very stressed
[02:42] <hylian> t-b0n3, this might help, but this is all a little above my head... https://wiki.edubuntu.org/ClusterStack
[02:43] <cooper|laptop> so for my sata 3 drives do i want to configure as ide, raid, or ahci
[02:43] <magn3ts> Who must one contact to edit an immutable ubuntu wiki page?
[02:43] <KM0201> chaos2358: it just connected fine for me... what version of amsn are you using?
[02:43] <Blueshift> i suggest you make the usb bootable disk which requires a fat32 format util and then you need to install grub boot loader
[02:43] <spivwaq> hi all, is there a shortcut for running files within the current directory in terminal?  ex: instead of typing" ~/Documents/a.out"   to just type"a.out" ?
[02:43] <lucas> chaos2358: I use gufw. There you can configure all the rules from a GUI
[02:43] <chaos2358> KM0201,  i dunno im assuming its the latest i installed from synaptics
[02:43] <KM0201> hmm.
[02:43] <fffu> spivwaq, ./a.out ?
[02:43] <hylian> chaos2358, did you first refresh synaptic?
[02:43] <r00t4rd3d> shadaloo, is the external hd usb ?
[02:43] <KM0201> chaos2358: using 10.10?
[02:44] <chaos2358> yep
[02:44] <sam-_-> fffu maybe lockfile-create
[02:44] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to copy a few small files, and keep getting a  Resource temporarily unavailable.  Any ideas as to why?  And which log to look in on either end?  auth.log shows nothing
[02:44] <spivwaq> oh ok let me try that
[02:44] <chaos2358> yes to both
[02:44] <chaos2358> and i always refresh synap before any install
[02:44] <shadaloo> r00t4rd3d: yes usb
[02:44] <botdog> hylian, but it shows me the whole list of packages which can be installed or already have been installed in which the 'name' meets
[02:44] <crohakon> How do I install flash via command line
[02:44] <craigbass1976> spivwaq, although often times once you hit the tab key to finish the file name for you it sticks in the whole path
[02:44] <crohakon> and the ability to listen to mp3 files
[02:45] <craigbass1976> crohakon, listen to mp3 via command line?
[02:45] <KM0201> chaos2358: well that sucks....
[02:45] <shadaloo> r00t4rd3d: I just clicked safely remove, how do I start it back up?
[02:45] <r00t4rd3d> unplug it , plug it back in ?
[02:45] <sam-_-> !flash > crohakon
[02:45] <shadaloo> okay
[02:45] <chaos2358> KM0201, tell me about it. the odds are stacked against me
[02:45] <r00t4rd3d> You do NOT need Hirens
[02:45] <hylian> botdog, that's true, i wasn't sure if you wanted every package installed, or where just searching for one. i know all the packages installed are at var/apt/cache/archives/, but maybe you where looking for a printable list?
[02:46] <KM0201> chaos2358: well... i know this might sound crazy, any chance of Running Windows in Vbox, just for that?
[02:46] <shadaloo> Blueshift: is there anything in ubuntu you recommend?
[02:46] <KM0201> you could install it, turn off auto updates, and just that software program... and you would probably be less than 5-6gigs of space
[02:46] <sacarlson> craigbass1976: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:46] <shadaloo> Blueshift: for raw data backup
[02:46] <r00t4rd3d> shadaloo, did it pop back up on the desktop ?
[02:46] <chaos2358> KM0201,  i dont think my machine can handle vbox. i have dual boot though. i just rarelly use windows so i was trying to setup through ubuntu
[02:46] <hylian> botdog, this article shows how to create the list in a file, and then you could print it or whatever you wish... :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366
[02:47] <shadaloo> r00t4rd3d: it's choking :(
[02:47] <shadaloo> r00t4rd3d: I just saw the file list though
[02:47] <KM0201> chaos2358: whats the specs on your machine?
[02:47] <shadaloo> r00t4rd3d: right before it removed
[02:47] <Blueshift> well
[02:47] <craigbass1976> sacarlson, for what?
[02:47] <Blueshift> you could perhaps use dd
[02:47] <botdog> hylian, tnx
[02:47] <sacarlson> craigbass1976: to install flash and listen to mp3
[02:47] <hylian> botdog, i hope that helps you.
[02:47] <shadaloo> dd is good
[02:47] <chaos2358> KM0201,  lol i dunno the exacts. its a 6 yr old dell inspiron E1505 with 2 gigs of ram
[02:47] <shadaloo> I hope it can read it :x
[02:48] <craigbass1976> sacarlson, oh, I was talking to crohakon .  Thanks though
[02:48] <t-b0n3> so i need a high availability solution for deployment tomorrow, anyone have a good idea? :)
[02:48] <Blueshift> i suggest you do that before you do anything major with hirens
[02:48] <lucas> anyone knows how to use dd created hard disk files on virtualbox?
[02:48] <industry__> t-b0n3 try Linux-HA
[02:48] <Blueshift> but hirens is great
[02:48] <KM0201> chaos2358: .. it probably would just fine to be truthful... my PC is about the same... runs both just fine( i ony use XP to sync a zune)
[02:48] <industry__> I never had much luck with it myself but apparently it's pretty good high-avaiability
[02:48] <shadaloo> Blueshift: can you help me with usage?
[02:48] <Blueshift> it has saved me majorly
[02:48] <Blueshift> sure
[02:49] <Blueshift> shadaloo
[02:49] <r00t4rd3d> Blueshift, he is working with an external usb drive
[02:49] <shadaloo> Blueshift: thanks mate, a bit rusty
[02:49] <Blueshift> can we drop to pvt please
[02:49] <chaos2358> what exactlly is a vbox?
[02:49] <t-b0n3> industry__, thanks, on it right now :)
[02:49] <shadaloo> okay dudes
[02:49] <shadaloo> It says 261.4 GB used, 204.4 free
[02:49] <industry__> vbox = virtual box
[02:49] <Blueshift> adhd and too many conversations
[02:49] <lucas> anyone knows how to use dd created hard disk files on virtualbox?
[02:50] <hylian> chaos2358, virtual box, it's a virtual machine, and that system probably could handle something like windows 2000 or slitaz no problem.
[02:50] <KM0201> chaos2358: basically you run two OS's at the same time.. you can set it up, for the "Host" OS to run 1gig of Ram, and the Guest OS to run 1gig.. and you'll probably notice no issues
[02:50] <shadaloo> Blueshift: np
[02:50] <fffu> lucas, hard disks? you cannot
[02:50] <sam-_-> Blueshift what is hirens?
[02:50] <chaos2358> how does it work i mean how do i switch between the os?
[02:50] <hylian> chaos2358, that wasn't a very good explanation, it allows you to run another operating system virtually. pretty usefull for quite a few things. i do it all the time
[02:51] <sacarlson> lucas: fffu: I would guess you could, it's just a file
[02:51] <lucas> fffu: seems that qemu can... Just wondering why vbox doesn't support them. I have them as *.disk files
[02:51] <r00t4rd3d> so hirens is useful for a external usb drive thats used for storage ?
[02:51] <fffu> sacarlson, vbox do not support raw hd images
[02:51] <benjamin_> anyone know any good AIM clients?
[02:51] <sam-_-> lucas, it's possible that you can convert them via qemu-img
[02:51] <chaos2358> ok but still im not understanding the concept of running them virtually? whaat is it like having a windows os mounted and clicking the icon to run windows?
[02:52] <fffu> only floppies and CDs
[02:52] <KM0201> chaos2358: more or less, yes
[02:52] <fffu> CDs=ISOs
[02:52] <hylian> chaos2358, you don't switch. the operating system you have installed still runs, the other os runs inside that one, through virtualization, imagine copying someting from firefox in ubuntu, and then going to a window woth windows in it and pasting...
[02:52] <sacarlson> fffu: well ubuntu has virtual methods of mounting file system also like samba.  you don't need virtualbox support for that
[02:52] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to copy a few small files, and keep getting a  Resource temporarily unavailable.  Any ideas as to why?  And which log to look in on either end?  auth.log shows nothing
[02:52] <chaos2358> ok im going to read a little more into this before i decide
[02:53] <fffu> craigbass1976, whence? whither?
[02:53] <r00t4rd3d> craigbass1976, command your using ?
[02:53] <craigbass1976> scp blahblah .
[02:53] <lucas> sam-_- I am trying to use them on windows too. There I managed to mount them. Just trying to find a virtual image type that is mostly supported
[02:54] <craigbass1976> sorry...  scp server:/path/blahblah .  fffu r00t4rd3d
[02:54] <sacarlson> lucas: fffu: so it would be somekind of virtual in a virtual mount but what tool would you use for dd file structure?
[02:54] <hylian> chaos2358, it turns an os into an application of sorts, imagine having a windows icon on your desktop, and you click it, and it boots in another smaller window... like this: http://mib.pianetalinux.org/mib/images/stories/v/virtualbox-2.png
[02:54] <bezao> i'm trying to run something using wine, but it says "wine: Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables" i've installed, monodevelop,mono-devel, mono-gac, and it still doesnt working! what do i need to install?
[02:54] <botdog> "dpkg --get-selections > installed-software" is really what i 'v been looking, tnx!
[02:56] <hylian> cool
[02:56] <sam-_-> bezao, what are you trying to run?
[02:56] <malv> how do you get ubuntu to not lose the internet connection on logout?
[02:56] <lucas> sacarlson: The initial idea was to create a virtual image file that could be mounted on windows, ubuntu, and all kinds of virtualisation software. RAW dd images seem to meet that criteria. Only Virtual Box doesn't play well...
[02:56] <malv> it seems like NIS stops working after logout and I get these RPC bind errors
[02:56] <fffu> bezao, did you install *windows mono exes*?
[02:56] <sacarlson> lucas: like mount -o loop -t iso9660 foo.iso /mountpoint  but the -t ?
[02:56] <bezao> fffu i dont know, how can i check/install ?
[02:57] <fffu> bezao, run some .net app in windows
[02:57] <sam-_-> bezao maybe via strip
[02:57] <bezao> sam-_- something i've write on .net
[02:57] <sacarlson> lucas: can virtualbox mount an iso file?
[02:57] <industry__> bezao, I think what you need to do is download mono .net for windows and run it under wine, instead of installing it through your package manager
[02:58] <chills518> I'm trying to get passwordsafe to open the safe file from my windows machine.  found site which said to create a mount point and add this to the fstab file "//fileserver/myshare /media/myshare cifs uid=1000,username=myuser,password=mypass 0 0"  ... I can't get this to work.  if someone can help explain this a little it would be helpful...
[02:58] <sacarlson> lucas: maybe convert dd to iso?  seems there must be an easier way but.
[02:58] <sam-_-> bezao forget what i said.
[02:58] <bezao> wine is a 'framework' ? doesnt it emulate something.exe on linux?
[02:58] <lucas> sacarlson: in ubuntu I did mount -o loop <diskname>.disk /mountpoint without any problem. But I can't find a way to use the file in VBox
[02:58] <sam-_-> bezao why do you want to use wine then?
[02:58] <mills> hello
[02:58] <bezao> i need do compile on win then send to linux?
[02:59] <sam-_-> bezao use mono directly?
[02:59] <bezao> sam-_- cuz i wanna test somethig (:
[02:59] <hylian> bezao, wine stands wine is not an emulator.
[02:59] <tylercw> Hey, I'm having a problem with my Ubuntu live USB.
[02:59] <tylercw> wondering if anyone could help
[02:59] <bezao> i cant understand what i need to do, there any tutorial that you guys can give? any www site
[02:59] <hylian> bezao, oops, i meant wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator.. my bad.
[03:00] <fuzzybunny69y> Hey everyone for some reason my new user(test) I created cannot ssh into my machine(localhost) it prompts me for my password and then I put it in and it just says "connection closed". I can however SSH into my machine with the regular user account. Does anyone know what would be causing this?
[03:00] <shishirdwivedi20> hey i need help
[03:00] <sacarlson> lucas: in Vbox what's the difference vboxed ubuntu can mount virtual disks with the above command?
[03:00] <jk_> lucas, Vbox can mount an iso file directly, but you have to add the file to the virtual media manager first.
[03:00] <fffu> hylian, it was 'WINdows Emulator" in 2001, don't misinform people
[03:00] <sam-_-> bezao, http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
[03:00] <bezao> i'm confused, what i need to do for run something.exe i've wrote on .net on ubuntu?
[03:01] <r00t4rd3d> a windows enviroment
[03:01] <tylercw> I try to boot from Live USB and i can hear the Ubuntu boot sound, but i cannot see an image on the screen. I am assuming it is a video driver issue
[03:01] <fffu> bezao, install mono for windows in wine
[03:01] <Pickle`> Hello...  I just installed Ubuntu NE on a relatively new Acer AspireOne netbook...  1.6ghz, 1024 mb...  No problems during install, but goes to a blank screen (cursor) immediately after the bios post screen... Does anyone have any idea how I'd even begin to try to figure out what's going on here??
[03:01] <sam-_-> bezao, it should be mono something.exe
[03:01] <shishirdwivedi20> i re installed my os  but before doing that i saved all packages from /var/cache/apt/archives  and now i want to  use it
[03:01] <TotalHavic> hello room
[03:01] <sam-_-> bezao, not sure though never rly messed with mono
[03:01] <sync3times> TotalHavic, hi
[03:02] <bezao> :(
[03:02] <PyjamaSpank> I have 2 users, when I get to the login screen it has a very loud volume that doesn't seem to be controlled by either of my users. Is there a setting to control the volume pre-login?
[03:02] <r00t4rd3d> tylercw, i think you need to use a boot option for video resolution
[03:03] <sam-_-> bezao, did you try "mono something.exe"
[03:03] <r00t4rd3d> not totally sure though
[03:03] <tylercw> Ahh, thank you r00t4rd3d
[03:03] <bezao> no, wait
[03:03] <tylercw> I'll try it right now, i have my laptop right here
[03:03] <r00t4rd3d> when it starts i think you get a option to press a key for boot options ?
[03:04] <hylian> fffu, you are correct, i stand informed. wine is not an emulator in that it does not emulate every instruction, but i can see an argument for it still being considered an emulator.
[03:04] <tylercw> I have 10.10 and the one boot option is Advanced option but there is no options in the submenu
[03:04] <bezao> sam-_- well mono something.exe gave me an .net error, better then wine!
[03:04] <bezao> let me check
[03:04] <sam-_-> bezao, what error?
[03:04] <r00t4rd3d> whats in advanced ?
[03:04] <r00t4rd3d> oh
[03:05] <bezao> sam-_- .net error
[03:05] <sam-_-> bezao, tell me more
[03:05] <tylercw> Well,m the only option in Advanced is "Back. ."
[03:05] <SuperPaco69> any good tutorial about logrotate?
[03:05] <r00t4rd3d> hmm , what kinda of laptop ?
[03:05] <shero> hello
[03:05] <bezao> sam-_- Unhandled Exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[03:05] <SuperPaco69> the man are not friendly at all
[03:05] <tylercw> HP Envy 14
[03:05] <sam-_-> bezao, so it does work. there is an error in your code
[03:06] <tylercw> Although It isn't running on my older HP Pavilion dv7 either
[03:06] <shero> NEED HELP GETTING JAR FILE TO RUN!!!
[03:06] <sam-_-> bezao, you should catch that exeception
[03:06] <bezao> i dnt think so sam-_- it works on visualstudio (:
[03:06] <bezao> maybe some dll is missing i'll check
[03:06] <bezao> thanks
[03:06] <sam-_-> bezao, that's because your database is available there
[03:06] <shishirdwivedi20> help
[03:07] <shishirdwivedi20> i re installed my ubuntu   but before doing that i saved all packages from /var/cache/apt/archives  and now i want to  use it
[03:07] <sam-_-> bezao, but you really should handle that exception in your code :-)
[03:07] <bezao> sam-_- i can connect over the network
[03:07] <bezao> lan connection sam-_- heh relax, i'm just testing :D
[03:07] <shero> guys first day with ubuntu cant even run a jar file..
[03:07] <sam-_-> !patience |sam-_-
[03:07] <ICM> shero, Minecraft? ;)
[03:07] <^Neptune> I'm trying to run a shoutcast server but apparently something is using port 8888 and I haven't got any idea what it is. Is there a a command that can free up the port?
[03:08] <shero> ICM:yes
[03:08] <multi_io> is there a real reason for using LVM and separate /, /boot, /home, /usr volumes on a laptop?
[03:08] <fffu> multi_io, no
[03:08] <ICM> shero do you have a java runtime?
[03:08] <shishirdwivedi20> sam   i re installed my os  but before doing that i saved all packages from /var/cache/apt/archives  and now i want to  use it
[03:08] <multi_io> (rather than just / on a physical volyume like sdx)
[03:08] <shishirdwivedi20> sam how can i do
[03:08] <ICM> shero try right clicking, "Open With", (try OpenJDK 6 Runtime if it's there)
[03:09] <multi_io> fffu: ok
[03:09] <shero> ICM:I tried downloading it from the jave site but i failed..so i installed OpenJDK 6 runtime and webstart
[03:09] <ICM> shero or Sun JAva 6 RUntime
[03:09] <sam-_-> shishirdwivedi20 i guess just place them in this folder again
[03:09] <fffu> shero, what java --help gives?
[03:09] <ICM> can you right click on the .jar then, shero ? Is there an "Open With 'OpenJDK 6 Runtime'")
[03:10] <shishirdwivedi20> sam its not happeninig i am trying to copy all the files but when i reach to that folder paste option is disabled
[03:10] <shero> ICM: Java*-- ya I can it gives me the option. however I think I have to permit it as an executable because I get a block message
[03:10] <mitnick> sup
[03:10] <sam-_-> shishirdwivedi20, you need to be root or have the rights to write to the folder
[03:11] <shishirdwivedi20> sam how can i become root ?
[03:11] <r00t4rd3d> tylercw,
[03:11] <r00t4rd3d> fn + f3
[03:11] <shishirdwivedi20> sam i am beginner thats why i know little
[03:11] <tylercw> I'm relatively new to using boot option in Ubuntu, on all the older versions it has "just worked" for me. Mind explaining how i would do that?
[03:11] <sam-_-> shishirdwivedi20, easy solution: gksu nautilus
[03:11] <ICM> shero That sounds like a good idea to me :)
[03:11] <sam-_-> shishirdwivedi20, then use only these nautilus windows
[03:11] <r00t4rd3d> tylercw, from the internet The Envy 14 boots with screen brightness turned down to 0 for some reason. Just hit Fn + F3 a lot of times (or just F3 depending on your settings). I'm in ubuntu 10.10 and it works nicely.
[03:12] <shero> ICM: I get lucky XD.. can you tell me how to do that?
[03:12] <fffu> what's wrong on my system? all of my partitions do not get mounted to /media
[03:12] <tylercw> Would you mind explaining how i would do that? Ubuntu has always "just worked" for me
[03:12] <shishirdwivedi20> sam gksu nautilius not working
[03:12] <User51> who knows if Fable 3 is also for linux/ubuntu ? i cant seem to find it anywhere
[03:12] <Braber01> msn NickServ identfiy A02731318
[03:12] <sam-_-> shishirdwivedi20, btw. some packages might be a new version hence will get downloaded again
[03:12] <tylercw> AHH! Yes! Thank you!
[03:12] <fffu> Braber01, lol
[03:12] <r00t4rd3d> :D
[03:12] <shishirdwivedi20> sam no window came up , while installing ubuntu i skipped some packages may be thats why
[03:13] <jackdi0> hahahaa, omg.
[03:13] <tylercw> It worked! Wow, that's a different one than i have ever experienced!
[03:13] <Braber01> fffu how do i change my password?
[03:13] <sam-_-> shishirdwivedi20, are you in a terminal?
[03:13] <r00t4rd3d> tylercw, lol stupid huh ?
[03:13] <ICM> shero gimme a moment
[03:13] <shishirdwivedi20> sam yes i typed comand in terminal
[03:13] <shero> ICM: np
[03:13] <sam-_-> shishirdwivedi20, gksu nautilus. type it in a terminal with just one i
[03:13] <shishirdwivedi20> sam *command
[03:13] <dacian> Can anyone explain why Ubuntu Netbook Edition would load properly when I use the installation CD I burned, but after installing, it just goes to a blank screen immediately after the netbook's bios post screen?
[03:13] <tylercw> Yeah. Hmm, i wonder why it does that. Anyhow, thanks a bunch!
[03:13] <sam-_-> shishirdwivedi20, check the spelling
[03:13] <fffu> Braber01, /nickserv setpass
[03:13] <glitchd> sam-_-, so that kernel u suggested, wouldnt let me activate wireless drives..
[03:14] <shishirdwivedi20> sam ok let me do that
[03:14] <jackdi0> Braber01: change your password. :D
[03:14] <sam-_-> glitchd, don't you have an intel wifi?
[03:14] <shishirdwivedi20> sam yes opened
[03:14] <bhiles> Having a problem with suspend. It only works if I've hibernated first. If it is the first thing I've done, it just hangs with black screen and no HD activity on wake up. Any clues?
[03:14] <r00t4rd3d> tylercw, np. Have fun now that you can see.
[03:14] <ICM> shero Right click 'Minecraft.jar', click 'Properties' click the 'Permissions' tab, and check 'Allow executing file as program.'
[03:14] <shishirdwivedi20> sam what to do now
[03:14] <tylercw> Thanks, and i sure will!
[03:14] <Spreadsheet__> How would I download using wget or curl a URL which has a ? in it?
[03:14] <glitchd> sam-_-, no i have broadcom i believe
[03:14] <sam-_-> shishirdwivedi20, with this nautilus window it should work

[03:16] <Spreadsheet__> It's working, thanks
[03:17] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: supposedly, 4313 uses the STA driver, so it should be fine
[03:17] <ICM> no problem shero, enjoy being unproductive for days :D
[03:17] <ICM> <3 Minecraft
[03:17] <r00t4rd3d> you need the bcmwl-kernel-source installed
[03:17]  * XiaolinDraconis wishes he could use the awesome GDM themes he downloaded
[03:17] <r00t4rd3d> before you can activate it
[03:17] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: i thought when you activated the STA driver, it did that?
[03:17] <sam-_-> glitchd, what about the graphics issues are they gone?
[03:18] <lallz> hi

[03:20] <r00t4rd3d> glitch , pm
[03:20] <r00t4rd3d> we can do it either way
[03:20] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: do it here, i wanna see..lol
[03:20] <shero> ICM: here it is anyways XD. ANYONE WILLING TO TAKE THE CHALLENGE!!

[03:21] <r00t4rd3d> glitchd, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx Follow the instructions for installing STA with no internet
[03:21] <XiaolinDraconis> this new login screen is horrible
[03:21] <XiaolinDraconis> great that i can easily change the wallpaper on it
[03:21] <ICM> shero that cutt off at at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create( << might have better luck on a Minecraft forum though
[03:21] <r00t4rd3d> STA - No Internet access
[03:22] <XiaolinDraconis> but am i really stuck with the tan user box
[03:22] <shero> ICM: o sweet thanks
[03:22] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, but dont worry about it
[03:22] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, it would only let me use 2.3 of 8 gigs of ram. so im not interested in using it
[03:22] <glitchd> ok so heres a completely different question for u room
[03:22] <sam-_-> shero, seems like a bug but it might work with sun java
[03:22] <KM0201> lol.
[03:23] <glitchd> if i have my hd split with windows on one partition and linux on another, is there a way that i can boot my windows partition inside of the linux one? via virtual box or something similar?
[03:23] <hylian> glitchd, ever think of using the 64 bit version? (or is this a bios thing, cause my bios only let's me use 3.2.)
[03:23] <XiaolinDraconis> vmware player
[03:23] <XiaolinDraconis> i believe it has option to boot hard drive
[03:23] <bhiles> Any ideas for when suspend doesn't work until the computer has at least been hibernated first? I'm stuck on it.
[03:24] <sam-_-> hylian, y. 2.3gb sound rly. strange
[03:24] <hylian> XiaolinDraconis, i have gotten virtual box to boot my other hd. it just warns you to be carefull, which is always a good idea. :)
[03:24] <XiaolinDraconis> did u get that glitch
[03:24] <sync3times> glitchd, I have heard that windows will demand you re-authenticate the license,  that it detects the machine change
[03:24] <hylian> sam-_-, i agree.
[03:24] <gsr> I've made some changes to GDM, and recompiled it.  Is there a way to tell ubuntu to recompile GDM everytime it updates it, and does a merge-changes sort of thing (like with gentoo conf files after updating a port)?
[03:25] <XiaolinDraconis> sync is right as well
[03:25] <sam-_-> bhiles, sounds like some modules don't get loaded/unloaded properly
[03:25] <XiaolinDraconis> unless u use that pirated no serial windows
[03:25] <bhiles> Where should I start looking?
[03:25] <hylian> glitchd, yeah, if it's a windows install, i wouldnt do it.
[03:26] <diecastarts> Hailz to all ,, basic questions about filesharing on ubuntu .. using gnome
[03:26] <sam-_-> bhiles in the logs /var/log/*
[03:26] <hylian> dr_willis
[03:26] <KM0201> diecastarts: it's pretty easy...
[03:26] <KM0201> !samba | diecastarts
[03:26] <diecastarts> i have my second computer hardwired to main computer with cross can get internet fine
[03:27] <bhiles> sam-_-, thanks.
[03:27] <diecastarts> i did a step i found on the net but wondering because it set to auto dhcp and stuff maybe why i cannot mount
[03:27] <hylian> KM0201, that won't work if windows and ubuntu are on the same machine though, wasn't he asking about vm'ing?
[03:27] <diecastarts> I see the folder on my second computer but go to mount even with username in PYnouberhood
[03:27] <KM0201> hylian: sure it will.. I use samba to share between Ubuntu and a virtual machine XP
[03:28] <mythology> I have a ? regarding my wireless??
[03:28] <hylian> KM0201, ohh, i see. nvm, i goofed up.
[03:28] <diecastarts> i did this before easy with ubuntiu to xp or window in general
[03:28]  * sam-_- is tired
[03:28] <KM0201> mythology: by all means, share it w/ the class
[03:28] <sam-_-> goodnight guys
[03:28] <diecastarts> but frist time ubuntu to ubuntu for me
[03:28] <XiaolinDraconis> wish i could get empathy to stop auto scrolling
[03:29] <mythology> Ok my wireless card is working but wont connect!
[03:29] <KM0201> XiaolinDraconis: use a quality IRC client, rather than a client designed for instant messaging.
[03:29] <hylian> diecastarts, are you using virtualbox? because if you are and you have guest additions installed, it's rather easy to set up networking beetween linux and windows (virtual windows)
[03:29] <bonjoyee> bencahill: hi there!!
[03:29] <diecastarts> i did the setups
[03:29] <XiaolinDraconis> KM: so true
[03:29]  * hylian has to go check the woodstove, be back in 5
[03:29] <XiaolinDraconis> im on an almost fresh install
[03:29] <diecastarts> i can see the folder on the second machine even but mount no go
[03:30] <XiaolinDraconis> setting up themes and what not still
[03:30] <XiaolinDraconis> never used empathy thought i would give it a try
[03:30] <diecastarts> using pyneurborhood <-- sorry spelling
[03:30] <r00t4rd3d> empathy is one of them programs that shouldnt be installed by default :D
[03:30] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: i so agree
[03:31] <XiaolinDraconis> is anyone gonna suggest something other than Pidgin
[03:31] <diecastarts> yeah go pidgin for msg and xchat or something that main only a irc clinet
[03:31] <XiaolinDraconis> i kinda liked pidg
[03:31] <KM0201> XiaolinDraconis: i still like pidgin, i hat eempathy
[03:31] <diecastarts> pidgin is great of all msg
[03:31] <r00t4rd3d> empaty is like one of the first programs i remove
[03:31] <bhiles> sam-_-, am I looking for differences between the suspend and powersave logs? am I looking for errors?
[03:31] <XiaolinDraconis> i see why
[03:31] <KM0201> on a new install, firs tthing that goes is Empathy.
[03:31] <diecastarts> even can use 3rd plugins.. facebook ecgtect
[03:31] <XiaolinDraconis> i just checked prefs
[03:31] <XiaolinDraconis> literally no options
[03:32] <diecastarts> 3rd party plugins i meant there sorry
[03:32] <KM0201> XiaolinDraconis: why dont you just install xchat?
[03:32] <KM0201> it's a fantastic irc client
[03:32] <diecastarts> it is
[03:32] <mythology> Anybody have a clue as too why my wireless wonk connect?
[03:32] <XiaolinDraconis> i will give it a go
[03:32] <KM0201> XiaolinDraconis: even xchat-gnome is better than Empathy
[03:32] <r00t4rd3d> xchat is like old school linux irc chat
[03:32] <diecastarts> its in the softward rep_
[03:32] <diecastarts> software
[03:32] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: i like xchat... easy to set up
[03:32] <diecastarts> so all to buzzed to be typing tonight lol
[03:32] <skorv> stupid question... can a ubuntu server behave likea windows server (domain authentification etc) ?

[03:37] <mythology> no 10.10 information in there!

[03:44] <dacian> I don't think grub is working on my netbook after a new Ubuntu Network Edition install...  It goes to a blank flashing cursor after the bios screen
[03:45] <mkeath> ok so i can't find inittab in /etc
[03:46] <bonjoyee> mkeath: what version of ubuntu?
[03:46] <mkeath> 10.10 server
[03:47] <shero> NEED HELP INSTALLING SUNJAVA (not JDK)
[03:47] <malv> how do you keep ubuntu from polluting the grub list with new kernels
[03:47] <fffu> shero, just visit oracle.com
[03:48] <swt> xchat not bad reminds me of pidgin
[03:48] <WordWarrior> Can I make the Virtual Box to start up the first Machine on bootup ?
[03:48]  * swt is XiaolinDraconis
[03:48] <mkeath> bonjoyee: i am running 10.10 server
[03:49] <dsnyders> Looking for bash help.  I have foo='/home/dsnyders/music\ files' in ./bash_aliases.  When I type in cd $foo I get an error, no such file or directory.
[03:49] <tjsco> mke
[03:49] <XiaolinDraconis> wordwarrior: open terminal and type virtualbox -h should give u commands
[03:49] <WordWarrior> ok thanks
[03:49] <XiaolinDraconis> make a launcher and put in autorun
[03:49] <mythology> I really need wifi help here!!!
[03:49] <shero> fffu: Ive tried that already. This is my first day with ubuntu and I want to play minecraft...bad
[03:50] <dsnyders> I've tried with and without the quotes, with and without the backslash.  How do I embed a space in the alias?
[03:50] <bonjoyee> mkeath: sorry about that..seems ubuntu has done away with inittab..lemme check
[03:50] <mkeath> bonjoyee: i think they use update-rc.d instead
[03:50] <sacarlson> malv: I think you have to delete the old kernels or purge them from synaptic.
[03:50] <fffu> don't tell me there's no java binaries for linux
[03:50] <shero> fffu: I've tried openJDK but it doesnt work. most ubuntu and minecraft forums say it only works with sunjava
[03:50] <sacarlson> malv: then update-grub
[03:51]  * swt is checking diff between xchat & xchat-gnome
[03:51] <fffu> shero, sun java can be downloaded from oracle site
[03:51] <IdleOne> !java | fffu
[03:51] <mkeath> but when i do sudo update-rc.d x11-common disable it will remove and then add a link for x11-common
[03:51] <fffu> xchat-gnome is s*t, while xchat isn't
[03:51] <mkeath> bonjoyee: but when i do sudo update-rc.d x11-common disable it will remove and then add a link for x11-common
[03:51] <mythology> Can anyone help me please!
[03:52] <bonjoyee> mkeath: update-rc.d has been in older releases as well...but inittab has been removed in favour of upstart
[03:52] <Some_Person> What the hell is going on here: http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/1337/screenshotrk.png
[03:52] <shero> ya the thing is i have no idea how to install anything. SunJava wasnt on the software center so..
[03:52] <maco> mkeath: update-rc.d is more for maintainer scripts than humans... and ubuntu doesnt use sysv init anymore anyway
[03:52]  * swt thinks this is a support channel
[03:52] <tjsco> mythology, what's wrong with your wifi?
[03:52] <bonjoyee> mkeath: no not x11-common..u have to disable gdm!
[03:52] <mkeath> bonjoyee: ok i will do a man on upstart'
[03:53] <maco> mkeath: look at the top stanza in /etc/init/gdm.conf
[03:53] <cjdevlin> mkeath: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1649601
[03:53] <insano> I want to run zimbra in mail.domain address and a web site in domain address? How can I do it?
[03:53] <shero> fffu:ya the thing is i have no idea how to install anything. SunJava wasnt on the software center so..
[03:53] <dsnyders> Looking for bash help.  I have foo='/home/dsnyders/music\ files' in ./bash_aliases.  When I type in cd $foo I get an error, no such file or directory. I've tried with and without the quotes, with and without the backslash.  How do I embed a space in the alias?
[03:53] <bonjoyee> mkeath: do u have gdm.conf in /etc/init?
[03:53] <mythology> i dont know i installed meerkat (10.10) in card is working but it wont connect juct says vpn connections
[03:53] <maco> mkeath: i imagine if you comment out the "start on" section it wouldnt start
[03:54] <cjdevlin> dsnyders: try it w/o $
[03:54] <mythology> typos
[03:54] <tjsco> mythology, did you upgrade to 10.10 or start with a fresh install?
[03:54] <mkeath> bonjoyee: yep sure do
[03:54] <mythology> fresh install
[03:54] <mkeath> maco: thank you i will try that
[03:55] <fffu> whixh gnome command can open URL from 'Run' box?
[03:55] <dsnyders> cjdevlin, That won't work.  That will try to change to a directory named foo instead of the variable foo.
[03:56] <bonjoyee> mkeath: first make a backup of it...and then comment out the "start on "lines or replace the words after "start on" to "never"
[03:56] <fffu> try http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
[03:56] <swt> so im taking it xchat-gnome is better than plain xchat due to plugins
[03:56] <mkeath> ok done
[03:57] <mkeath> i am restarting to test this out
[03:57] <mkeath> brb
[03:57] <sacarlson> mythology: why don't you pastebin your hardware info so we can have a clue as to what we are working with,  try lspci  and lsusb and pastebin that
[03:57] <mkeath> exit
[03:57] <mythology> im on another pc
[03:57] <shero> sacarlson: im next in line XD
[03:58] <cjdevlin> dsnyders: what does your alias do? usually to embed a space you use underscore "_" and the $ is for system wide variables
[03:58] <r00t4rd3d> mythology, what wireless adapter are you using ?
[03:58] <sacarlson> shero: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:58] <WordWarrior> XiaolinDraconis: I found many commands in the list of help.. but how can i do that when the machine boots up ?
[03:59] <r1za> hi all

[03:59] <dsnyders> cjdevlin, It's just an alias for the folder.  I have several others that work, but they don't have spaces.
[03:59] <XiaolinDraconis> wordwarrior: somewhere in those commands it tells you the commands for opening a virtual drive
[04:00] <rOOt4rd3d> im a wireless adapter install master :D
[04:00] <XiaolinDraconis> do you know how to make a launcher
[04:00] <jbn-o> What's the appropriate way to suggest software to be packaged for Ubuntu?
[04:00] <cjdevlin> dsnyders: then the underscore should work. also i'm pretty sure  you have to log out and back in for aliases to work
[04:00] <WordWarrior> XiaolinDraconis: yes VirtualBox startvm name of my m/c but this how can i do on boot up
[04:00] <dsnyders> cjdevlin, For example, I type in cd $bewitched and it takes me to /storage/videos/bewitched
[04:01] <sacarlson> jbn-o: you can package it yourself and distribute it in ppa
[04:01] <XiaolinDraconis> in the administration menu is the start up programs
[04:01] <XiaolinDraconis> add the launcher and/or command to that list
[04:01] <WordWarrior> hmm pl
[04:01] <dsnyders> cjdevlin, the command: source .bashrc forces a re-read of the files.
[04:01] <WordWarrior> ok
[04:02] <AegNuddel> Ok, somehow I ended up with Natty Narwhal.  Must be since I was helping with some development stuff on other projects, and had the ppa/repo/whatever installed, so when I said update, it did.  However, I read that Natty is supposed to use the Unity desktop.  I still have the GNOME desktop...are there any advantages to Unity over Gnome?
[04:02] <XiaolinDraconis> suggest adding a sleep 10 at the end of command
[04:02] <cjdevlin> dsnyders: good info. thnx.
[04:02] <r00t4rd3d> Now this is how lots of old school linux users use to chat : http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5291/screenshotxbz.png
[04:03] <r00t4rd3d> terminal irc :D
[04:03] <tristan3199us> i have a problem copying a large file onto a usb drive.. i get this error "There was an error copying the file into /media/271B-72B7.
[04:03] <tristan3199us> Error splicing file: File too large" what does this mean..
[04:03] <bonjoyee> XiaolinDraconis: at the end? or before?
[04:03] <XiaolinDraconis> end
[04:03] <XiaolinDraconis> wait
[04:03] <XiaolinDraconis> ur doing same thing?
[04:03] <tristan3199us> it copies around 60 percent and than stops with that error..
[04:03] <rumpe1> tristan3199us, how big is the file? fat32 on media?
[04:03] <XiaolinDraconis> r00t: could u use a larger screenshot next time lol
[04:04] <tristan3199us> ntsf.. and 4.4 gb
[04:04] <XiaolinDraconis> @r00t BEAST MODE aka terminally ill
[04:04] <sacarlson> tristan3199us: it might mean the file is too big for that filesystem  fat32 would be about 4gig
[04:04] <rumpe1> tristan3199us, are you sure, its ntfs?
[04:05] <tristan3199us> i tried reformatting it many times to many formats.. beleve ntfs has no max so stuck with that in the end
[04:05] <r1za> Hello dear programmers!

[04:06] <WordWarrior> XiaolinDraconis: thanks :)
[04:06] <synapse_> olah
[04:06] <XiaolinDraconis> you are adding an autostart app as well?
[04:06] <XiaolinDraconis> np Warrior
[04:06] <XiaolinDraconis> glad a noob could help
[04:06] <[thor]> !ru | riza
[04:06] <tristan3199us> could this mean my iso's.. all of them are currupted from downloading..
[04:06] <bonjoyee> XiaolinDraconis: no...just wondered if the sleep comes before or at the end and why?
[04:07] <r1za> #ubuntu-ru
[04:07] <r1za> ??
[04:07] <XiaolinDraconis> so a memory intense app doesnt suck up system resources before the system could get started
[04:07] <[thor]>    /j #ubuntu-ru
[04:07] <sacarlson> tristan3199us: you can see what format your usb flash and other partitions are with sudo fdisk -l
[04:07] <r00t4rd3d> r1za, you cant use wine to load wifi drivers
[04:07] <[thor]> riza with /
[04:08] <dsnyders> r1za, try /join #ubuntu-ru
[04:08] <XiaolinDraconis> and why am i still in empathy
[04:08] <bonjoyee> XiaolinDraconis: yes...but doesn't that mean the sleep has to be before the actual command?
[04:09] <XiaolinDraconis> you know that is kinda starting to make sense to
[04:09] <shero> sacarlson: ugh..not to offensively question your genious but..what exactly are the extras?
[04:09] <XiaolinDraconis> me
[04:09] <XiaolinDraconis> lmao
[04:09] <tristan3199us> guess i left it fat32 last... i used it again since then..
[04:10] <sacarlson> shero: look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[04:10] <tristan3199us> but still had the problem in ntsf.. how do i reformat in the terminal
[04:10] <XiaolinDraconis> if i were putting it at the beginning wouldnt it need to be a bash script so as not to confuse the terminal?
[04:10] <bonjoyee> XiaolinDraconis: its like giving the system 10-20 seconds to settle "before" starting Virtualbox?
[04:10] <XiaolinDraconis> yeah
[04:10] <crohakon> Just install ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop... a gateway. I cannot get the wireless to work. Any ideas on where to start? I am not sure on the wireless card details.
[04:10] <shero> sacarlson: im at a user agreement and I do not know how to accept it
[04:10] <shero> sacarlson: its in terminal
[04:10] <clu3> hi all, i wanna run my ubuntu as a remote desktop SERVER and login from another ubuntu. Which package should i use? Thanks
[04:10] <sacarlson> shero: I think the answer would be yes
[04:11] <crohakon> shero, tab
[04:11] <XiaolinDraconis> so it shopuld be at the beginning i spose
[04:11] <XiaolinDraconis> but i would imagine thats only if its a script
[04:11] <shero> sacarlson: ahh thank you
[04:11] <XiaolinDraconis> i really dont know what im doing i just read a lot
[04:12] <XiaolinDraconis> and about a year ago i was using puppy linux
[04:12] <bonjoyee> XiaolinDraconis: :)
[04:12] <XiaolinDraconis> had to make a lot of my own scripts
[04:12] <cjdevlin> !vnc | clu3
[04:13] <XiaolinDraconis> wow i thought i was going to the major leagues back then
[04:13] <XiaolinDraconis> started using advanced stuff like adding gui's
[04:13] <joeconyers> Does anyone have a recommendation on which AMI I should use for a pretty basic web setup?
[04:14] <joeconyers> lamp + some goodies
[04:14] <gilos> is there a channel to ask about ubuntu and photo processing?  I'm trying to learn more about working with RAW .cr2 files.
[04:14] <shero> sacarlson:when do I know when it is finished? is it going to reboot?
[04:14] <sacarlson> shero: you should see your $ return
[04:14] <sacarlson> shero: no it's not going to reboot
[04:15] <shero> sacarlson: ya I see it. what should i do
[04:15] <insano> I want to run zimbra in mail.domain address and a web site in domain address? How can I do it?
[04:15] <XiaolinDraconis> im gonna put in my ubuntu cd and was hoping it wont screw up my current grub2 settings
[04:15] <Theyain> I changed my  hostname (for stupid reasons, but none the less, its been changed) through editing /etc/init.d/hostname and now it seems that pulse won't start
[04:16] <sacarlson> shero: whatever it was you couldn't do before
[04:16] <Theyain> anyone got any clue as to why pulse would be dependent on the hostname?
[04:16] <fandango> joeconyers: assuming you mean Amazon EC2, you can find the official Cononical AMIs from here and install a LAMP stack manually... http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/release/
[04:16] <ZykoticK9> !hostname | Theyain Not sure if this applies
[04:17] <bonjoyee> Theyain: make the changes in /etc/hosts accordingly
[04:17] <dsnyders> cjdevlin, Odd.  cd "$foo" works.
[04:17] <doomfrog> darn no sound
[04:17] <fffu> dsnyders, it's not odd
[04:17] <doomfrog> I wonder what's wrong
[04:17] <bonjoyee> Theyain: also to change hostname...edit the /etc/hostname file
[04:17] <fffu> dsnyders, envv  vars can contain s[paces
[04:18] <bonjoyee> bonjoyee: the hostname in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts has to match..else a lot of things break!
[04:19] <bonjoyee> Theyain: the hostname in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts has to match..else a lot of things break!
[04:19] <shero> sacarlson: not so sure. I need to get sunJava but i have no idea how
[04:19] <Theyain> is bonjoyee a bot?  cause I don't want to respond to a bot :o
[04:19] <XiaolinDraconis> no he isnt
[04:19] <bonjoyee> certainly not!
[04:19] <Theyain> good ^_^
[04:19] <XiaolinDraconis> he/she who knows maybe it is a bot
[04:19] <ZykoticK9> Theyain, ubottu is the only bot
[04:19] <gluonman_> I'm trying to install extra fonts for English in Ubuntu 10.10.  The option for extra fonts is greyed out in Language Support --> Install/Remove Languages...  Does this mean that extra fonts are unavailable?
[04:19] <dsnyders> fffu, I am trying to set $foo to /home/dsnyders/music files.  I can echo $foo and it seems right, but when I cd $foo I get an error - No such file or directory /home/dsnyders/music
[04:19] <XiaolinDraconis> zykotik
[04:19] <sacarlson> shero: the operation you just did should have installed java
[04:19] <XiaolinDraconis> no its not
[04:20] <ZykoticK9> !bot | XiaolinDraconis
[04:20] <XiaolinDraconis> dont forget the floodbot... ;)
[04:20] <ZykoticK9> XiaolinDraconis, floodbot that's ture ;)
[04:20] <Theyain> hosts doesn't match with hostname
[04:20] <Theyain> so thats probably it
[04:20] <Theyain> sudo works though
[04:20] <XiaolinDraconis> raw im a raving lunatic bot
[04:21] <shero> sacarlson: ok well how do I run a jar with java runtime because it doesnt appear in a list of programs I can run the program with

[04:21] <XiaolinDraconis> floodbot gets lonely sometimes

[04:21] <FloodBot1> XiaolinDraconis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:21] <XiaolinDraconis> z
[04:21] <sacarlson> shero: try whereis java
[04:21] <fffu> dsnyders, you need to quote it to pass as single element

[04:24] <Theyain> So high typing speeds = flooding?
[04:25] <sacarlson> shero: do as crohakon says.  I didn't know you wanted to run jar files but I thought runtime would work also
[04:25] <crohakon> oh
[04:25] <crohakon> shero try it anyway.
[04:25] <crohakon> I have a Broadcom BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller... How do I get it to work in Ubuntu 10.10?

I want a simple control panel just to add virtual hosts to apache basically for my domain names and maybe setup ftp accounts for the different domain names.  I dont need all the other stuff webmin comes with

[04:32] <dsnyders> fffu, in other words I have to type in cd '$foo'

[04:35] <intr0x80> How do I tell what ubuntu package to install to get /usr/bin/time?
[04:35] <fffu> what is the fastest way to change one character to another?
[04:35] <shero> r00t4ard3d: I was just looking at this when you mssgd me http://timashley.me/node/596
[04:35] <fffu> intr0x80, go to packages.ubuntu.com and use searhc form
[04:35] <sacarlson> fffu: backspace and type another?
[04:36] <r00t4rd3d> shero that would work also
[04:36] <r00t4rd3d> you need the jre
[04:36] <intr0x80> fffu: Nifty. Thanks.  What do you mean by change one character to another? in some language?
[04:36] <fffu> sacarlson, while filtering some output
[04:36] <XiaolinDraconis> i want to install ubuntu a second time
[04:36] <bonjoyee> intr0x80: type time and press enter...
[04:36] <sacarlson> fffu: maybe some kind of sed thing in bash?
[04:36] <XiaolinDraconis> so i can remaster a perfect live cd
[04:37] <XiaolinDraconis> but i dont want the install process screwing with my grub
[04:37] <fffu> sed's too bulky for such trivial job
[04:37] <bonjoyee> intr0x80: if its not installed..ubuntu will tell what package u need
[04:37] <intr0x80> bonjoyee: That's the bash builtin, which isn't redirectable.
[04:37] <dsnyders> fffu, there's a command called sed.  It stands for stream editor.  Not sure how to use it but it's basically cat infile|sed>outfile
[04:37] <Richiie> Does anybody know where i can get Doom3 Native Linux Client, and does anyone know if there is any equilalent application / program to (Gameranger / Runs only on M$ and Mac) :(
[04:37] <etzerds> Hello all
[04:37] <intr0x80> bonjoyee: I see what you mean, though it's still a bash builtin
[04:38] <pconwell> anyone a ushare guru?
[04:38] <dsnyders> fffu, there's also a transform command somewhere along the line.
[04:38] <etzerds> When the new version will be out?
[04:38] <sacarlson> fffu: bulky as in large size?  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 55364 2009-12-22 05:43 sed
[04:38] <bonjoyee> intr0x80: you're right..

[04:52] <shero> r00t4rd3d: i kept the link open and told firefox to save it after restart and the first tab it opens up i almost fall back
[04:52] <XiaolinDraconis> can someone tell me about install ubuntu twice
[04:52] <bonjoyee> idea4good: u have a windows dual boot?
[04:53] <idea4good> bonjoyee : yeah cleaning everything and making fresh partitions using gparted and trying to install XP and then ubuntu
[04:53] <fffu> twice?
[04:53] <idea4good> So from prev install had XP
[04:53] <r00t4rd3d> shero do you see the game ?
[04:53] <r00t4rd3d> does it work ?
[04:54] <shero> r00t4rd3d: ya but will it work with the jar?
[04:54] <folklore> don't get why debian users get so upset when someone mentions ubuntu
[04:54] <XiaolinDraconis> yes twice
[04:54] <folklore> must be jealousy
[04:54] <jake_> .
[04:54] <bonjoyee> idea4good: so what that 40gb sda1 for? windows xp?
[04:54] <r00t4rd3d> idea4good, looks like you have errors in your windows
[04:54] <XiaolinDraconis> im gonna use remastersys to make my ideal livecd
[04:54] <r00t4rd3d> you need to run chkdsk /f from windows
[04:54] <r00t4rd3d> shero yeah
[04:54] <idea4good> before XP home partition there was 32 mb firware partition which i deleted and merged into sda1
[04:55] <sacarlson> XiaolinDraconis: I have it install 6 times in virtualbox
[04:55] <idea4good> but now i am trying to resize sda1 to 20gb it doesnt allow me saying warning
[04:55] <bonjoyee> idea4good: do you still have a working windows install?
[04:55] <shero> r00t4rd3d: what shall i open it with? Sun java?
[04:55] <idea4good> I want clean off XP partition and install a fresh copy
[04:55] <idea4good> I do have XP install cd
[04:55] <idea4good> I just want proper organization of my space
[04:55] <XiaolinDraconis> yeah i have done that with vmware
[04:55] <idea4good> deleted 2 firmware patitions
[04:55] <XiaolinDraconis> but not more than once on one virtual drive
[04:56] <r00t4rd3d> shero im not familar with that game or how to run it , but you have all the proper linux java stuff installed now.
[04:56] <bonjoyee> idea4good: then delete all partitions and start afresh...if theres nothing on the disk?
[04:56] <r00t4rd3d> where did you get this minecraft game ?
[04:56] <shero> r00t4rd3d: thats fine. Thanks!
[04:56] <sacarlson> XiaolinDraconis: and virtualbox would be the perfect place to test your new iso file without ever even having to burn a disk
[04:56] <XiaolinDraconis> yep i already did that
[04:56] <idea4good> You mean delete all the partitions and start from fresh you are saying
[04:56] <XiaolinDraconis> but its a bit bulky
[04:56] <hasibullah> hi every body
[04:57] <XiaolinDraconis> i wanna start with a clean install make some tweaks and then run it again
[04:57] <idea4good> obviuosly there is dataa which i took backup
[04:57] <hasibullah> how to update my vlc media player because it can't play wmv formate files
[04:57] <gambit_2> can someone answer my question....how do you upgrade ubuntu when it doesn't let your disk drive boot first
[04:57] <bonjoyee> idea4good: yes!,..but u know better than me about your pc..if theres something u care about dont do it!
[04:57] <sacarlson> XiaolinDraconis: well then prepare some free partitions to install your secound or Xth ubuntu on and put it there
[04:58] <XiaolinDraconis> will installing a new one mess with my current grub
[04:58] <XiaolinDraconis> other than adding an entry
[04:58] <idea4good> bonjoyye : so if i delete all partitions and start over will it format entire disk
[04:58] <bonjoyee> idea4good: yes
[04:58] <sacarlson> XiaolinDraconis: yes I imagin it would but you can keep the same defaults if you want
[04:59] <XiaolinDraconis> my awesome looking theme as well?
[04:59] <r00t4rd3d> shero http://minecraft.net/play.jsp
[04:59] <r00t4rd3d> :D
[04:59] <hasibullah> how to update my vlc player
[04:59] <XiaolinDraconis> thats the only part im worried about is the themes disappearing
[04:59] <r00t4rd3d> works for me in firefox
[04:59] <XiaolinDraconis> grub2 is pwnage btw
[05:00] <bonjoyee> idea4good: i'd recommend 20gb for xp(ntfs,primary) , 20 for ubuntu(ext4,primary), rest shared between the two(ntfs,primary)
[05:02] <idea4good> bonjoyee: i deleted all partitions
[05:02] <bonjoyee> idea4good: ok.. now?
[05:02] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: i fixed it buddy
[05:02] <bonjoyee> idea4good: i'd recommend 20gb for xp(ntfs,primary) , 20 for ubuntu(ext4,primary), rest shared between the two(ntfs,primary)
[05:03] <Jordan_U> nightcrow: What did the problem end up being?
[05:03] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: not the best solution, but it works although, now i dont even see the grub menu - which doesnt really matter because I dont have a second OS
[05:03] <idea4good> now how i do create my partitions order sa follows : 20 (ntfs,primary) 70 gb extended shared between both and finally 20 gb ubuntu (ext4, primary)
[05:03] <idea4good> bonjoyee: see my prev msg
[05:03] <bonjoyee> idea4good: depends how much u use xp..if u need games..probably increase accordingly
[05:04] <gambit_2> well i see i can get no where with jerks with thier thumbs up thier bits
[05:04] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: im not even sure why it happened (must be something to do with deploying a linux image with ubuntu)
[05:04] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: the solution was pretty simple though:
[05:04] <nightcrow> if [ \${recordfail} = 1 ]; then   set timeout=-1 else   set timeout=${GRUB_TIMEOUT} fi
[05:04] <idea4good> i am tryin to understand where should the shared space be created between 2 primray partitions
[05:04] <nightcrow> i change the '-1' to 3 and then ran grup-update
[05:04] <bonjoyee> idea4good: how big is the hdd?
[05:05] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: i dont see the grub menu, but the timeout works
[05:05] <idea4good> 120 gb
[05:05] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: that function is in: /etc/grub.d/00_header
[05:05] <sahni> hi
[05:05] <felon> how come firefoxes bin always wants to run when i close it and suck system resources
[05:05] <felon> i always have to kill the process
[05:05] <Jordan_U> nightcrow: That suggests that the problem is with recordfail not being cleared. Can you confirm that /boot/grub/grubenv still contains all '#'s?
[05:06] <sahni> what is this
[05:06] <bonjoyee> idea4good: why extended..make all 3 primary..
[05:06] <sahni> Please can sombody tell me
[05:06] <anon33_> has usb-creator been deprecated? is there another way to install ubuntu from a usb drive?
[05:06] <Jordan_U> bonjoyee: Why not extended? It allows for more flexability in the future.
[05:07] <idea4good> bonjoyee: and if I want to make some changes  So i want one partition to be like my storage
[05:07] <Leman_Russ> Anyone using a wireless mouse with Ubuntu?  Any problems, or does it work straight out of the box?
[05:07] <bonjoyee> Jordan_U: the disk is just 120gb..also theres space for more partition after the 3 primary
[05:07] <mschulze> Sahni, what is your problem?
[05:07] <bonjoyee> Jordan_U: as 4 is the limit for primary
[05:08] <infid> on the server, a samba shared file is owned by dev:dev, which shows up on the client as 'infid:48' (48 is the uid of 'dev' on the server). infid is a member of the 'dev' group and the file is group writable. yet when i try to write to the file on the client it says permission denied. Any idea why?
[05:08] <bonjoyee> idea4good: do as you need them..i was just suggesting!
[05:09] <idea4good> bonjoyee:  so help me with this can i make logical partitions of primary 3 which shared between 2
[05:09] <hasibullah> my vlc can't play wmv file formate how to install a plugin for it
[05:09] <t-b0n3> hasibullah, i think the plugin is called 'plugin your windows hard drive' ;)
[05:10] <fffu> how to use xmodmap to create new AltGr+X combination?
[05:10] <mschulze> Infid; I'm not great with streets, but I have heard that the client machine can require the proper permissions, not just the user
[05:10] <bonjoyee> idea4good: u can have a max of 4 primary parts on a disk..so even if you make all 3 primary...later u can delete anyone..and replace it with an extended part
[05:10] <mschulze> *servers
[05:10] <Jordan_U> bonjoyee: But you can only create new logical partitions within an existing extended partition. Keeping as much as possible in possible in logical partitions means you can add new partitions in between existing ones, something that you can't do if you only have one free primary partition to create logical partitions in.
[05:10] <fffu> hasibullah, it's usually builtin, are you sure file is ok?
[05:11] <bonjoyee> Jordan_U: you're right..please explain to idea4good
[05:11] <hasibullah> fffu: yes those files can be played in windows media player in windows but can't in vlc
[05:12] <r00t4rd3d> hasibullah, have you tried mplayer ?
[05:12] <infid> mschulze: what do you mean
[05:13] <idea4good> So can i share exteneded partition between 2 primaries, if so should it be between 2 primary i means parition arragements say : P1 (ntfs ,20) , Extended 70 gb , P2 (primary ext4)
[05:13] <Jordan_U> idea4good: While windows has some problems with booting from logical partitions, linux has no issues whatsoever with them. I suggest you make whatever primary partitions windows needs and create an extended partition in the remaining free space, then create logical partitins within that.
[05:13] <hasibullah> r88t4rd3d: no
[05:13] <idea4good> for linux you dont need a primary partitions ?
[05:14] <fffu> idea4good, you can create small primary partition to insall windows loader to, and install widows itself into extended partition
[05:14] <mschulze> Infid: You can grant permissions to the user AND the user machine.
[05:14] <idea4good> no advance config please spent 2 days trying to get simple stuff working
[05:14] <hasibullah> r88t4rd3d: you mean media player which is installed by default
[05:14] <Jordan_U> idea4good: Nope, grub(2) can boot from logical partitions just fine.
[05:14] <mschulze> Infid: be sure both sets give write access
[05:15] <infid> mschulze: how do you grant permissions to a machine
[05:15] <r00t4rd3d> hasibullah, i just installed vlc and it plays wmv file fine
[05:16] <bonjoyee> idea4good: so the general consensus is 1 primary part for windows, 1 primary/logical for ubuntu, the third for data..now you decide which one goes where
[05:16] <zaahir> hi all
[05:16] <bonjoyee> idea4good: and then ask if u need further help..
[05:16] <mschulze> Infid: Technically you shouldn't have to. The server settings should allow for the users permissions to override the machines permissions. But I don't know actually how to do it
[05:18] <idea4good> just a clarification can i make like Partition 1 20 gb ntfs primary, exteneded partitions with logical partitions D E F and linux Partition which should be ext 4 so will both XP and linux share them
[05:18] <r00t4rd3d> hasibullah, check pm
[05:18] <idea4good> so i am saying keeping linux at end follow by swap
[05:19] <fffu> where are keyoard layouts are stored?
[05:19] <fffu> ext4 cannot be shared
[05:19] <zaahir> in the terminal. what is the command? to edit a file. command opens a window. parallel to the tree structure
[05:19] <fffu> use ext2 or ntfs
[05:19] <Jordan_U> zaahir: "nano /path/to/file.txt" is one option.
[05:19] <hasibullah> r88t4rd3d: what is pm
[05:20] <bonjoyee> idea4good: doesn't matter where u place the extended parts..or the ubuntu..if its ntfs u can share it with ubuntu
[05:20] <Toph> fffu,,, ext4 cannot be shared even through samba shares?
[05:20] <Jordan_U> !pm | r00t4rd3d
[05:20] <zaahir> Jordan_U i schearch another
[05:20] <fffu> he means used together by windws and linux
[05:21] <r00t4rd3d> hasibullah, test this. Open VLC , click Media at the top , Advanced open file , network , paste this link in the box , play. http://www.archive.org/download/WorkToFishtestwmv/test_wmv.wmv
[05:21] <r00t4rd3d> Jordan_U, i wasnt asking a question I was answering a redundant one.
[05:22] <r00t4rd3d> and there is no rules against pm someone on irc
[05:22] <Jordan_U> r00t4rd3d: While not directly covered in that ubottu factoid, we prefer that helpers keep the conversation in-channel when reasonable so that we can be sure people aren't being given bad advice, among other reasons.
[05:23] <r00t4rd3d> i know you got it out for me but aleast get something good.
[05:23] <r00t4rd3d> atleast*
[05:23] <XiaolinDraconis> pshh i give people bad advice in pm's all the time
[05:23] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[05:24] <idea4good> bonjoyee: can i make logical partitions in exteneded space which ubuntu can access without mounting them?
[05:24] <hasibullah> r88t4rd3d: yes that works
[05:24] <zaahir> السلام عليكم حسبلله
[05:24] <hasibullah> zaahir: ws
[05:24] <bonjoyee> idea4good: yes..format them as ntfs
[05:24] <XiaolinDraconis> OMG i think i heard a ticking sound
[05:24] <zaahir> lol
[05:25] <r00t4rd3d> hasibullah, cool, so the file you were originally opening must be borked.
[05:25] <bonjoyee> idea4good: but still u have to mount them,,,using fstab or the mount command
[05:25] <XiaolinDraconis> is that an unattended deb package! RUN
[05:25] <bencahill> zaahir, lol, had to use google translate :)
[05:25] <XiaolinDraconis> wow ur fast
[05:26] <zaahir> Jordan_U do you speak french ?
[05:26] <hasibullah> r88t4rd3d: while playing the video  my vlc says that:
[05:26] <hasibullah> No suitable decoder module:
[05:26] <hasibullah> VLC does not support the audio or video format "wmas". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
[05:26] <hasibullah> No suitable decoder module:
[05:26] <hasibullah> VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
[05:26] <FloodBot1> hasibullah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:26] <bencahill> great, another floodbot!
[05:26] <zaahir> bencahill no i am a little arabic student
[05:26] <bencahill> zaahir, :)
[05:27] <XiaolinDraconis> told u floodbots get lonely sometimes feel left out
[05:27] <Jordan_U> !fr | zaahir
[05:28] <zaahir> ubottu mais à cette heure-ci il n'y a pas grand monde sur le canal français alors je viens ici
[05:28] <zaahir> lol
[05:28] <XiaolinDraconis> lmao
[05:28] <ICM> ubottu can you be a sexy bot? ;)
[05:29] <t-b0n3> ubottu, do you know anything about pacemaker?
[05:29] <ICM> Getting money to build a new computer for christmas
[05:29] <ICM> I think I'm gonna put UBuntu 10.10 on it :)
[05:30] <bencahill> ICM, where u buying from?
[05:30] <ICM> NewEgg
[05:30] <Jordan_U> !topic | ICM
[05:30] <Jordan_U> !language | ICM
[05:30] <bencahill> ICM, good stuff, just built one myself from there :)
[05:30] <bencahill> ?
[05:31] <anon33_> is the 64 bit version only compatible with amd processors?
[05:31] <bonjoyee> bencahill: r u the same bencahill? usb install? digital photoframe?
[05:31] <Jordan_U> anon33_: No, it works with intel CPUs as well.
[05:31] <bencahill> bonjoyee, yep, registered nick, not going anywhere (the nick) :)
[05:31] <anon33_> Jordan_U: thanks. it should probably have it's name altered
[05:31] <zaahir> alone in the dark
[05:31] <nirazio> I want to share folder for two users what i did is made group>>add users to group>>set chmod>>set chown>>set setgid 2775>>reboot  made echo test > /Common/testfile going to see right - group common read&write  made file with nautilus going to see right - group common readonly  copy file with nautilus going to see right - group common readonly 0_o  made file with gedit going to see right - group common read&write  Why? Its a bug?
[05:32] <bonjoyee> bencahill: ok..just wondering..u got it to work?
[05:32] <ICM> anon33_ It's due to the standards, that's the only reason why it's called AMD64, Intel processors implement the same stuff. Not a very intelligent name for those unfamiliar, yeah :/
[05:32] <zaahir> in the terminal. what is the command? to edit a file. command opens a window. parallel to the tree structure
[05:32] <r00t4rd3d> anon33_, if you download the i386 iso and put it in the same folder as wubi it will use that iso.
[05:32] <bencahill> bonjoyee, I'm lazy, gonna work on it right now! :)
[05:33] <bonjoyee> bencahill: i checked ur grub.cfg..and its kernel lines have a wrong uuid..
[05:33] <anon33_> ICM: the only reason i was worried of the 64bit install is that i thought it wouldn't be compatible with my computer
[05:33] <bencahill> bonjoyee, yeah, kind of weird seeing as it was auto-generated...

[05:34] <Autonomiser> What CPU do you have in your puter anon33_?
[05:34] <bencahill> !pm | zaahir
[05:34] <bencahill> zaahir, you can use nano, like this: sudo nano /path/to/file
[05:34] <bonjoyee> bencahill: it still uses the kernel from the hdd install, and the / is the one from the usb
[05:35] <bencahill> bonjoyee, well but it has the --set command, so I'm assuming that overrides the other? I don't know, but that's not my problem right now, because I learned that if the bios doesn't support booting to usb, then for grub to boot to usb, it needs to load a usb module...working on that now :)
[05:36] <bonjoyee> bencahill: but the kernel line will always try to get the one thats mentioned on it
[05:37] <zaahir> bencahill but it's for delete some files
[05:38] <bencahill> bonjoyee, yes, if I get the usb figured out, then I'll fix that (somehow, I'd like to do it the proper way and not edit grub.cfg), if not, I'll have to go with putting /boot on the hdd, although I'd rather not (so I can still have the hdd install to fall back too) :)
[05:38] <bencahill> zaahir, what?
[05:38] <zaahir> delete a file in my system
[05:39] <bencahill> zaahir, rm
[05:39] <zaahir> i am news in the buissiness
[05:39] <bonjoyee> bencahill: just add the correct menu entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and do sudo update-grub
[05:39] <bencahill> zaahir, check out this, it'll help you :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal#File%20&%20Directory%20Commands

[05:41] <idea4good> bonjoyee : http://imgur.com/7ofTo.png
[05:42] <bonjoyee> idea4good: looks good..
[05:42] <idea4good> so linux swap should be as linux swap file type but actual linux home should be ext4?
[05:42] <luxurymode> Is it normal for Ubuntu to take a long time to change my user password?
[05:43] <david2> no
[05:43] <bencahill> idea4good, swap in linux is a partition, not a file, as in windows
[05:43] <zaahir> bencahill Jordan_U I found my order. Shaolin was murder. gksudo nautilus
[05:44] <luxurymode> david2: was to "no" to me?
[05:44] <bonjoyee> idea4good: u can mark last part as swap during install as well..dont bother about it now
[05:44] <david2> david2: yes
[05:44] <zaahir> the mysteries of Beijing
[05:44] <halfie> hi, is there a graphical disk usage analyzer for ubuntu in the repos?
[05:44] <luxurymode> david2: im just seeing the spinny thing, showing that its processing
[05:45] <idea4good> bonjoyye : but the linux home should be defined as file system type ext4
[05:45] <david2> luxurymode: what are you doing?
[05:45] <bonjoyee> idea4good: yes..but even that can be done at the time of ubuntu install
[05:46] <luxurymode> david2: i went to system > admin > users and groups and clicked to change my password. entered current password and chose to set new password by hand. entered new password and clicked ok. now its just processing...
[05:47] <david2> luxurymode: hmmmm
[05:47] <bonjoyee> idea4good: go ahead ..do it
[05:47] <david2> luxurymode: let me try. Usually I did it with command line
[05:47] <luxurymode> david2: afraid to just try to close the window and do it again
[05:47] <luxurymode> david2: and now im being denied permission on stuff in command line
[05:49] <david2> luxurymode: do you have the root privilege?
[05:49] <luxurymode> should i sudo in command line?
[05:49] <david2> luxurymode: maybe. if you got permission denied
[05:50] <luxurymode> davd2: is it just sudo and my username?
[05:50] <luxurymode> david2: cuz i tried that and didnt work...lol
[05:50] <pip> Anyone knows how to add a parmeter to Exec line of xchat.desktop file ?
[05:50] <david2> luxurymode: google it
[05:50] <bencahill> Jordan_U, can you help me get my usb going? :-P I'm at the grub2 cli (just to test things out), and I typed insmod usb and then search -u {UUID}, and it said error: no such device...hmm...
[05:51] <pip> For example: I want xchat to take LANG for en:ru both
[05:51] <Jordan_U> bencahill: You need to insmod ohci, uhci, and usbms as well.
[05:52] <bencahill> !sudo | luxurymode

[05:53] <luxurymode> bencahill: thanks. noob here. did "passwd" and asked me to enter unix password. seemed to work
[05:53] <bencahill> Jordan_U, hmm, still says no such device..
[05:53] <bencahill> luxurymode, glad you got it!
[05:53] <Cody> Hello all
[05:53] <Jordan_U> bencahill: What version of grub are you using? The USB code is fairly new, so the newer the better.
[05:53] <luxurymode> bencahill: still getting permission denied when i cd to etc/fstab
[05:54] <XiaolinDraconis> awe
[05:54] <XiaolinDraconis> we need 3 more users
[05:54] <XiaolinDraconis> hi Cody
[05:54] <bencahill> luxurymode, cd is for dirs (Change Directory), /etc/fstab is a file :)
[05:54] <luxurymode> omg, i am a retard
[05:55] <bencahill> luxurymode, if you're wanting to edit it, you could do something like sudo nano /etc/fstab
[05:55] <luxurymode> bencahill: knew that too bc i wanted to "describe"
[05:55] <bencahill> luxurymode, :) np
[05:55] <bencahill> Jordan_U, don't know, came with 10.10, how can I check?
[05:55] <Cody> Anyone know how to use cwirc here?
[05:55] <bencahill> Jordan_U, this is a cfg for it, if it helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546049/
[05:56] <GinTonic> how to mount and umount CDROM device under condition that do not shutdown computer?
[05:56] <Jordan_U> bencahill: 10.10's grub is fairly new, I don't think much work has been done on the USB side since the snapshot it uses.
[05:56] <nirazio> I'm wondering if it's possible to set up dual screen using VESA as a driver?
[05:56] <luxurymode> bencahill: thanks a lot
[05:56] <GinTonic> can you help me ?
[05:56] <bencahill> Jordan_U, ok, so is there anything else I can try, or am I pretty much screwed? :)
[05:56] <GinTonic> how to mount and umount CDROM device under condition that do not shutdown computer?
[05:56] <bencahill> luxurymode, np
[05:56] <apctr> hi all, I got a strange prob.....one program is executing properly on my laptop but after a while it is giving error" permission denied
[05:57] <Jordan_U> bencahill: Could you file a bug report about your USB hardware not working with grub's USB drivers?
[05:57] <bencahill> apctr, what program?
[05:57] <GinTonic> thanks
[05:57] <apctr> bencahill: I'm working on ns-2
[05:58] <bencahill> Jordan_U, sure, the light never flashed, it's a pny attache 2gb, not sure about a serial or anything...where do I do it?
[05:58] <luxurymode> bencahill: so im actually trying to resolve a problem. had a hell of a time installing ubuntu on my system already running windows. problems were apparently bc of raided drives. so i got a brand new HD, slapped that in there and ubuntu install worked. but now, i cant get into windows, even though it shows up in the boot menu and i can access all the files through ubuntu
[05:58] <bencahill> luxurymode, what happens when you select it in the boot menu?
[05:58] <apctr> bencahill: tcl script was running perfectly but today it is showing the error
[05:59] <luxurymode> bencahill: not sure if this might be relevant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546174/
[05:59] <bencahill> apctr, ah, I don't know :)
[05:59] <luxurymode> bencahill: i get an error "no such drive" "no such dir"
[05:59] <luxurymode> or "no such disk"
[05:59] <luxurymode> bencahill: something like that
[06:00] <bencahill> luxurymode, could you do it now and put the exact error in a paste? That paste was the fstab from ubuntu, doesn't affect windows
[06:00] <Jordan_U> bencahill: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=grub
[06:00] <luxurymode> bencahill: i'll have to remember it bc i cant copy in the boot up...
[06:01] <Cody> Any help with cwirc?
[06:01] <bencahill> luxurymode, right, but as long as you've just seen it, you can remember it or type it in...
[06:01] <bencahill> Jordan_U, thx
[06:01] <luxurymode> bencahill: ok, i'll snap a pic too
[06:01] <luxurymode> brb
[06:01] <bencahill> luxurymode, k cya :)
[06:01] <Cody> anyone here know anything about the cwirc package?
[06:02] <Jordan_U> bencahill: You're welcome. Thank you for taking the time to file a bug (and hopefully follow up on it), the USB drivers don't get much testing and they really need it.
[06:04] <cjlacayo> Hi everyone
[06:04] <cjlacayo> Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Hp Mini 110 :-)
[06:04] <Cody> hello
[06:05] <Cody> .... ..
[06:05] <cjlacayo> Anyone in Miami?
[06:05] <glitchd> could someone help me to enable a pae kernel so i can use my 8 gigs of ram? i just cant seem to get it to work.
[06:05] <bencahill> Jordan_U, I like to help out when I can :)
[06:05] <red3kic> cjlacayo:  Nice. And as for Miami thing, that's irrelevant. ;)
[06:06] <rww> cjlacayo: some people in #ubuntu-us-fl probably are :)
[06:06] <bonjoyee> !patience | cody
[06:06] <apctr> wht is the meanikng of a lock symbol on a folder
[06:06] <apctr> ?
[06:06] <red3kic> apctr:  You probably don't have permissions to write that folder -- I guess.
[06:06] <r00t4rd3d> glitchd, back for more lol
[06:06] <Cody> .... . .-.. .-.. ...
[06:07] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, lol yes
[06:07] <rww> Cody: don't use cwirc in here, please.
[06:07] <cjlacayo> red: it is relevant; for LoCo participation.
[06:07] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, i just reinstalled 10.04
[06:07] <apctr> red3kic: I provide 777 permission but it is also showing that symbol;
[06:07] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, said fuck it ill go back to what work without problems
[06:07] <red3kic> apctr:  What directory?
[06:07] <r00t4rd3d> haha
[06:07] <Jordan_U> !language | glitchd
[06:07] <r00t4rd3d> glitchd, why not use the latest 10.10 ?
[06:07] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, but i forgot to look at what packages were installed to handle the pae and let me use my 8 gigs of ram
[06:08] <glitchd> ubottu, sry..
[06:08] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, it was just giving me problems
[06:08] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, and i already reinstalled it twice, and still just had massive problems
[06:08] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, so i just said forget it ill go back to 10.04
[06:09] <apctr> red3kic: ns2 simulator directory
[06:09] <apctr> red3kic: how to give 777 command on a directory
[06:09] <apctr> ?
[06:10] <red3kic> apctr:  Any chance you're looking at emblem? "chmod -R 777 Directory"
[06:10] <bencahill> Jordan_U, how would I check the v of grub? (it's on the bug request page)
[06:10] <red3kic> apctr:  You can right-click on a folder -- and change permissions in Property, I believe
[06:10] <rashadKM> how to load javascript file using libcurl in ubuntu
[06:11] <Jordan_U> bencahill: grub-install --version
[06:11] <bencahill> Jordan_U, thx, is there a way to do it in the grub cli, since I'm already there? :)
[06:11] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, so u got any clues how to enable the pae kernel?
[06:12] <luxurymode> bencahill: here are the pics. first one is strange error i get after messing with CMOS to finally get ubuntu install to work. http://imgur.com/5sqJa then boot menu: http://imgur.com/TWtLq then error: http://imgur.com/TJ1mS
[06:12] <Jordan_U> bencahill: It should be listed at the top of the screen.
[06:12] <r00t4rd3d> glitchd, not real sure on that one
[06:12] <bencahill> Jordan_U, oh right, d'oh!
[06:12] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, darnit
[06:13] <glitchd> does anyone know how to enable pae in 10.04????
[06:13] <Jordan_U> !pae | glitchd
[06:13] <bencahill> luxurymode, lol, same error right now as I'm getting :)
[06:13] <bonjoyee> bencahill: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/how-to-boot-from-an-usb-stick-without-bios-support-using-grub2-776192/
[06:13] <luxurymode> bencahill: haha really?
[06:13] <r00t4rd3d> glitchd, are you running 32bit ?
[06:13] <luxurymode> bencahill: not a very informative one
[06:13] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, yes
[06:13] <bencahill> luxurymode, something's funny with that grub config, as that's not a uuid, they're much longer
[06:14] <luxurymode> bencahill: uuid?
[06:14] <bencahill> !uuid
[06:14] <`Abhijit> Hello everyone. Should i prefer the openjdk package over sunjdk even if i don't use it to make commercial programs? ... Thanks
[06:14] <bencahill> !uuid | luxurymode
[06:15] <r00t4rd3d> glitchd, have you tried the 64bit install ?
[06:15] <walkriver> test
[06:15] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, yes
[06:15] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, i didnt like it
[06:15] <r00t4rd3d> but that may fix your problem
[06:15] <r00t4rd3d> is it only seeing 3.2gig of mem ?
[06:15] <glitchd> i dont need to install 64 bit to solve my problem
[06:15] <glitchd> i know it works in 32 bit
[06:16] <bonjoyee> bencahill: check post #6 in the link i sent you..
[06:16] <Jordan_U> bencahill: luxurymode: That looks like a normal UUID for an ntfs filesystem.
[06:16] <luxurymode> bencahill: oh i see. its basically an id for the drive?
[06:17] <bencahill> Jordan_U, heh, shows how much I know :)
[06:17] <bencahill> luxurymode, yep, and grub isn't seeing it...
[06:17] <luxurymode> bencahill: Jordan_U: weird thing is that i can only even bring up the boot menu with ubuntu, windows, etc if i go into cmos and, under raid config, disable all the SATA ports
[06:18] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, i figured it out
[06:18] <r00t4rd3d> what you do ?
[06:18] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, i needed to enable those listings in grub..lol
[06:18] <r00t4rd3d> ahh
[06:18] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, now i jus need to reboot to boot into it
[06:18] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, brb
[06:19] <bencahill> bonjoyee, yeah, that won't help for me though, as grub doesn't recognize the usb drive! :) I may try plop though...
[06:19] <ladjailia> bvnbvn
[06:19] <Jordan_U> luxurymode: That sounds like your BIOS has fakeRAID that you're not using. (which is a good thing, FakeRAID has no advantage over linux software RAID and many downsides).
[06:19] <bonjoyee> bencahill :check carefully theres a workaround for that as well
[06:19] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: right
[06:20] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: bencahill: weird thing is sudo update-grub gives me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/546176/
[06:20] <Jordan_U> luxurymode: So just keep RAID disabled in the BIOS and everything should be fine.
[06:20] <luxurymode> just disable raid completely?
[06:20] <Jordan_U> luxurymode: Ahh, that means your windows install *is* using fakeRAID.
[06:20] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: ah crap
[06:22] <Jordan_U> luxurymode: Could you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"?
[06:22] <drhe1skt> hello all
[06:22] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, immmmmmmmmm baackk
[06:22] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, lol
[06:22] <bencahill> bonjoyee, in that post? I didn't see it :-/
[06:22] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, yea its flyin now
[06:22] <r00t4rd3d> with all your 8gigs
[06:22] <drhe1skt> is there a player on ubuntu that plays upnp media from my server?
[06:22] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: but the ubuntu install was onto the fresh new drive. it wasnt (i dont think...) an install of ubuntu onto a fakedraid drive with an existing installation of an OS
[06:22] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, 7.7
[06:22] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: sure. sec.
[06:23] <bonjoyee> bencahill:  post #6..check the part that says booting into the recovery mode!
[06:23] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, for whatever reason i can never get it to enable all 8 gigs
[06:23] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546178/
[06:23] <glitchd> r00
[06:23] <glitchd> r00t4rd3d, idk why
[06:23] <Jordan_U> luxurymode: If that's the case, and if you want to keep the fakeRAID for windows, you'll need to enable fakeRAID for just the drives containing windows.
[06:24] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: uh, oh man. no idea how to do that.
[06:24] <AprilHare> hello. i am having transient problems with network connectivity under ubuntu 10.10; it often occurs after wakeup from sleep but sometimes after boot. the only redress is rebooting and i have no idea how to trace the problem much less fix it myself. any suggestions?
[06:24] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: basically i had two drives in there, which appeared to be linked as 1. they were port 0 and 1. then i installed the new drive and it was port 3
[06:25] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: also, if i go to raid config and disable all but port 3, i cant get to the boot menu with the OS options
[06:25] <Jordan_U> luxurymode: In that menu you talked about where you said you "under raid config, disable all the SATA ports". But only disable the one containing Ubuntu, most likely the third as the drive is listed as sdc.
[06:26] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: right, but that configuration wont work. cant get into ANYTHING that way
[06:26] <Jordan_U> luxurymode: Are you sure you don't just need to change the boot order in the BIOS so that port 3 is first to boot?
[06:27] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: oh, interesting. yeah dont know how to do that. i just saw boot order options of "hard drive", "optical", "diskette", etc. and i tried every conceivable order. though not sure i tried them all with only port 3 enabled. also, sometimes i noticed CMOS would auto-revert back to previous configs and enable/disabe ports by itself. though i cant swear by that. id have to look more closely.
[06:29] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: wait, you're  saying DISABLE the ubuntu one and enable all the rest?
[06:29] <Jordan_U> luxurymode: Yes. Because the Ubuntu install is not using fakeRAID.
[06:30] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: so just try that? otherwise how can you set priority to ports for boot order?
[06:30] <Jordan_U> luxurymode: You should be able to.
[06:31] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: will the different ports just be options in boot order menu? or do i need to make HD first priority and set that to port 3 somewhere else?
[06:32] <Jordan_U> luxurymode: I would expect it to be the former, but every BIOS has a different interface.
[06:32] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: right. lemme first just try enabling all except port 3
[06:32] <luxurymode> Jordan_U: brb
[06:33] <bencahill> Jordan_U, oh I forgot, the USB stick is in a PC Card or cardbus slot, would that make a difference? :-P
[06:33] <Jordan_U> bencahill: That's a good question, I don't actually know :)
[06:39] <samantha2> what command is used to switch gnome to lxde?
[06:39] <samantha2> to default?
[06:39] <samantha2> hello?
[06:40] <mandep> samantha2: lxde is installed with gnome or installed seprately?
[06:40] <kandinski> what's the desktop equivalent of phpmyadmin?
[06:40] <tehbaut_> I'm having some issues with copying/rsync that I can't explain, and Google hasn't been much help either. I have a 2TB external hard drive, NTFS formatted, and I have an internal NTFS drive, and I'm trying to copy files back and forth, but it keeps giving me an error "No space left on device" ...but that's so not true, as there's clearly 1.5TB left on the device!!
[06:40] <kandinski> or the gui equivalent of mysqladmin, if you want?
[06:41] <samantha2> I remember using a command to set a desktop manager
[06:41] <tehbaut_> I've tried copying via Nautilus UI, and terminal via cp and rsync... same errors
[06:41] <mandep> i mean insatlled while instling ubuntu or its downlded
[06:41] <PCChris> why can I not seem to change the perms on my flash drive from rwxr--r-- ?
[06:41] <tehbaut_> I just don't get it...
[06:41] <kandinski> tehbaut_: do you have those NTFS files also mounted on windows?
[06:41] <bullgard> How can I accomplish that Update Manager will not update in the futue my current kernel (version)? (Because I have compiled in a special module which would go lost.)
[06:41] <kandinski> tehbaut_: I mean, do you dualboot?
[06:41] <samantha2> I want to be able to start my computer and lxde login prompt so show.
[06:41] <samantha2> * to
[06:41] <tehbaut_> kandinski: yes, but they shouldn't be mounted... I was able to copy files before
[06:42] <kandinski> tehbaut_: windows and ubuntu have different places for their trash/recycle bins
[06:42] <samantha2> I currently have gnome
[06:42] <samantha2> i already installed lxde
[06:42] <kandinski> tehbaut_: I advise you to boot windows, empty trashcans, then boot ubuntu, empty recicle bins, then try again
[06:42] <samantha2> and I can selected at login
[06:42] <mandep> how can i see d list of permissions given to any file frm terminal?
[06:43] <tehbaut_> kandinski: but I don't see how that would matter... the drive is brand new, and never had anything deleted from it
[06:43] <samantha2> anybody?
[06:43] <kandinski> mandep: ls -la file
[06:43] <kandinski> tehbaut_: in that case, no, it makes no sense
[06:43] <tehbaut_> :)
[06:43] <kandinski> where is the file mounted?
[06:43] <PCChris> correction:  rwxr-xr-x
[06:43] <kandinski> I mean the filesystem?
[06:43] <bullgard> mandep: Use the command 'ls -al <filename>'
[06:44] <samantha2> need help on making lxde default
[06:44] <samantha2> any takers?
[06:44] <samantha2> I remember using a command on the terminal
[06:44] <tehbaut_> kandinski: whatever is the default... they mounted when I ran the livecd
[06:44] <samantha2> to choose which to boot with
[06:45] <mandep> how can i list all programs that started when pc starts sortingly????
[06:46] <bullgard> mandep: What do you mean by "sortingly"?
[06:47] <r00t4rd3d> samantha you can log out and at the bottom there is options for picking what you want to use
[06:48] <tyrone> Morning everyone (at least where I am ) anyone know whyt I would get this msg when I try to mount a partition on one of my HDD?
[06:48] <tyrone> Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[06:48] <tyrone> mount: only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1
[06:48] <tehbaut_> kandinski: give up? :P
[06:48] <mandep> sorted acc. to the time which started earlier should listed earlier
[06:49] <PCChris> anybody know why my flash drive might always auto-mount with perms set to being writable only by root, and sudo chmod as well as sudo chown failing?
[06:49] <mekwall> mandep: check boot chart :)
[06:49] <bullgard> tyrone: Probably because you did not have enough permission rights. Try sudo as a prefix.
[06:49] <laptopbuttons> hi there. I can't for the life of me figure out where to disable my laptop's auxiliary volume buttons (next to the keyboard). can anyone help?
[06:49] <mandep> join #qt
[06:49] <mekwall> sudo apt-get install bootchart
[06:49] <mrcomic> hey guys i have a partition used only for my music libary wich file format should i use?
[06:49] <kandinski> tehbaut_: I am trying to get work done too, but I am still thinking about your ntfs in the background of my mind
[06:49] <laptopbuttons> mrcomic: flac.
[06:49] <mekwall> mandep: http://www.bootchart.org/
[06:50] <mandep> #qt
[06:50] <tehbaut_> kandinski: cool, thanks much :)
[06:50] <kandinski> 000
[06:50] <mrcomic> no i mean the disk format
[06:50] <mrcomic> xD
[06:50] <tyrone> bullgard: thanks, any idea why only one of the partitions would be like that? how do I make it like the rest?
[06:50] <kandinski> tehbaut_: where are those ntfs filesystems mounted?
[06:50] <kandinski> what does df -h tell you on the console?
[06:51] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: yes, /boot/grub/grubenv only contains ##'s
[06:51] <laptopbuttons> mrcomic: uh. does it matter? pick something that will work with every OS you need it to
[06:51] <tehbaut_> kandinski: they're mounted wherever the default mount point is when the livecd loaded
[06:51] <kandinski> right
[06:51] <bullgard> tyrone: '~$ cat /etc/fstab' will probably tell you. Probably you gave special access permission to this particular partition.
[06:51] <tehbaut_> kandinski: /dev/sdc1   1.9T   265G   1.6T   15%   /media/Flux Capacitor
[06:52] <tyrone> bullgard: thanks I will see what that gives
[06:52] <anon33_> i have a drive that's formatted as hfsplus yet has journaling disabled. for some reason, i still can't write to the disk drive. mount replies (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)
[06:52] <mrcomic> i only have linux and i want to be ... as fast as possible in relation to the files i got there
[06:52] <anon33_> a similar hfsplus drive that does allow me to write to it just says (rw)
[06:52] <anon33_> what can i do to allow writing to the first drive?
[06:52] <kandinski> tehbaut_: tough nut to crack
[06:53] <bullgard> How can I accomplish that Update Manager will not update in the futue my current kernel (version)? (Because I have compiled in a special module which would go lost.)
[06:53] <tehbaut_> kandinski: Google results suggested it might be an inode problem, but I show plenty of inodes available too, when running df -i: /dev/sdc1  1677282040  906416  1676375624  1%  /media/Flux Capacitor
[06:53] <tyrone> bullgard: all I get is bash: /etc/fstab: permission denied
[06:53] <kandinski> tehbaut_: I am totally stumped
[06:54] <mrcomic> tyrone use sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[06:54] <mrcomic> and see what it says
[06:55] <quiescens> tehbaut_: what filesystem is /dev/sdc1 ?
[06:55] <tehbaut_> quiescens: NTFS
[06:55] <luxurymode> bencahill: you there?
[06:55] <Jordan_U> anon33_: What error do you get when you try to write to it?
[06:55] <bullgard> tyrone: '~$ cat /etc/fstab' works for me. Pleas tell me what do you obtain when you do '~$ ls -al /etc/fstab'.
[06:56] <tyrone> mrcomic: thanks works. can I pastebinit for you to have a look at?
[06:56] <anon33_> Jordan_U: Permission denied.
[06:56] <mrcomic> yup :)
[06:56] <mrcomic> @tyrone :) sure
[06:56] <Jordan_U> anon33_: What are the permissions of the file/directory you're trying to write to?
[06:56] <tyrone> bullgard: I was able to open with gksu gedit  /etc/fstab
[06:56] <quiescens> i wonder what it would display as an inode count for an ntfs filesystem
[06:56] <PCChris> anybody know why my flash drive might always auto-mount with perms set to being writable only by root, and sudo chmod as well as sudo chown failing?
[06:56] <shishirdwivedi20> hi
[06:56] <anon33_> well, in mount it says (rw, nosuid, nodev, uhelper-udisks)
[06:57] <tyrone> mrcomic: http://pastebin.com/Mex6Fv4d
[06:57] <anon33_> in mount, ls -l responds with: "drwxrwxr-x 1 99 99"
[06:57] <bullgard> tyrone: Good. And now look at the properties of that particular partition.
[06:57] <tyrone> bullgard: ^
[06:57] <luxurymode> tried every possible config in CMOS. only one that brings up bootloader is to disable all SATA ports. even set port 3 (with ubuntu install) as first boot disk priority and still wouldnt let me get into bootloader. just brings me to blinking cursor
[06:58] <tehbaut_> quiescens: problems like this are what I least expect from ubuntu... it doesn't make any sense
[06:58] <bullgard> tyrone: What does a message '^' mean with you?
[06:58] <anon33_> Jordan_U: what are you thinking?
[06:58] <tehbaut_> course, I'm not saying it /is/ an ubuntu problem, but still... would like to figure out what the problem is, exactly
[06:59] <tyrone> bullgard: sorry was pointing out my pastebin comment for you. http://pastebin.com/Mex6Fv4d
[06:59] <mrcomic> @tyrone : the partition with errors is sdb5?
[06:59] <Jordan_U> anon33_: Then your user does not have permission to write to that directory. Use "sudo chmod +w /mountpoint/" to give "other" users (like your own) permission to write there.
[07:00] <tyrone> mrcomic: no it is sda1
[07:00] <nirazio> How to fix this erorr: bash: ./configure: Permission denied.
[07:00] <r00t4rd3d> sudo ./configure
[07:00] <mrcomic> @tyrone and what is exactly the problem?
[07:00] <anon33_> Jordan_U: "sudo chmod +w /dev/sdb2" was successful, but i still can't create directories on it
[07:01] <tyrone> mrcomic: the problem is that I can't mount this partition
[07:01] <quiescens> ....
[07:01] <bullgard> tyrone: What partition are you especially interested in?
[07:01] <mrcomic> ok
[07:01] <mandep> ==
[07:01] <Jordan_U> anon33_: /dev/sdb2 is not a mountpoint, it's a device node. If you pastebin the output of "mount" I can tell you what the mountpoint is.
[07:01] <mrcomic> why dont you try this in a terminal
[07:01] <mrcomic> sudo blkid /dev/sda1
[07:02] <luxurymode> damn where did bencahill go
[07:02] <tyrone> bullgard: sda1
[07:02] <mrcomic> and then you mount it using the uuid in the fstab file so it recognize it from the begining
[07:02] <anon33_> Jordan_U: /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)
[07:02] <anon33_> proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[07:02] <anon33_> none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[07:02] <anon33_> fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
[07:02] <anon33_> none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
[07:02] <anon33_> none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
[07:02] <anon33_> none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
[07:02] <anon33_> none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
[07:02] <dannek7> hmm
[07:02] <anon33_> none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
[07:02] <mrcomic> @tyrone why dont you try this in a terminal sudo blkid /dev/sda1 and then you mount it using the uuid in the fstab file so it recognize it from the begining
[07:02] <Jordan_U> !pastebin anon33_
[07:03] <tyrone> mrcomic: I got this :/dev/sda1: UUID="2EF4957AF495454D" TYPE="ntfs"
[07:03] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | anon33_
[07:03] <PCChris> anybody know why my flash drive might always auto-mount with perms set to being writable only by root, and sudo chmod as well as sudo chown failing?
[07:03] <mrcomic> @tyrone ok ... ill change the pastebin how it shoult be
[07:04] <bullgard> tyrone: sda1 has a vfat file system. Did you want sda1 to be a vfat partition?
[07:04] <Jordan_U> anon33_: You should be able to speak in the channel again now.
[07:04] <tyrone> bullgard: this partition is an old windows partion and I think that might be where some of the issue is coming in
[07:05] <anon33_> Jordan_U: i'm sorry, i was trying to paste http://pastebin.com/Lf3QE6WD
[07:05] <anon33_> but my clipboard didn't copy the url and instead copied the text from earlier...
[07:05] <sobersabre> hi. how do I remove a service defined in /etc/init without manually removing the .conf file ?
[07:05] <tyrone> mrcomic: thanks, let me know when I can have a look see and use the edited version?
[07:05] <mrcomic> @tyrone
[07:05] <sobersabre> is there something replacing update-rc.d ?
[07:05] <sobersabre> I am on 10.04 LTS
[07:05] <mrcomic> @tyrone try that fstab and reboot
[07:05] <mrcomic> then you tell me what happend
[07:07] <Jaiisen> hey all i have a question
[07:07] <tyrone> mrcomic:sorry, bit of a noob with pastebin. which version am I editing to?
[07:07] <gsr> I've made some changes to GDM, and recompiled it.  Is there a way to tell ubuntu to recompile GDM everytime it updates it, and does a merge-changes sort of thing (like with gentoo conf files after updating a port)?
[07:08] <mrcomic> @tyrone this is the link i gothttp://pastebin.com/SkvfBUmz
[07:08] <Jaiisen> when i connect to my wireless network it asks me for my password which is fine but then it asks me for my key ring and it says the password is incorrect... what do i do
[07:08] <Jaiisen> ??
[07:08] <nightcrow> Jordan_U: did you message me? I think i missed your last comment
[07:08] <nightcrow> sorry
[07:09] <anon33_> Jordan_U: have you gathered anything from the output?
[07:09] <Jordan_U> nightcrow: No, I didn't
[07:09] <Jaiisen> anyone?
[07:10] <Jordan_U> anon33_: /media/Backup/ is the mountpoint.
[07:10] <anon33_> Oh, it's just the name of the directory
[07:10] <Jaiisen> can anyone help me?
[07:10] <bullgard> tyrone: The trouble is due to the vfat formation. Please read http://ubuntu.swerdna.org/ubufat32.html
[07:10] <Jordan_U> anon33_: Yes.
[07:10] <anon33_> Jordan_U: I'm still getting permission denied
[07:10] <Jordan_U> !patience | Jaiisen
[07:11] <mandep> Jaiisen: i also want to ask same???
[07:11] <Jaiisen> k :)
[07:11] <Jordan_U> anon33_: What is the output of "touch /media/Backup/test"?
[07:11] <Jaiisen> i been searching and deleting my key ring file didnt work :s
[07:11] <anon33_> Jordan_U: Permission denied
[07:11] <anon33_> "cannot touch" (teehee)
[07:12] <Jaiisen> this is what i tried
[07:12] <Jordan_U> anon33_: And the output of "ls -ld /media/Backup/"?
[07:12] <anon33_> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/i1aN1yFN
[07:13] <Jaiisen> ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-748934.html
[07:14] <Jaiisen> im on julinux btw :)
[07:14] <Jaiisen> bout to switch to mint :(
[07:14] <Myrtti> Jaiisen: on what?
[07:15] <Jaiisen> JULinux
[07:15] <Myrtti> Jaiisen: that's not Ubuntu
[07:15] <Jaiisen> yes it is
[07:15] <Jaiisen> look it up
[07:16] <Jaiisen> its pretty sweet
[07:16] <Myrtti> Jaiisen: I did, and it's not
[07:16] <Jaiisen> :s
[07:16] <tyrone> mrcomic: so is it just the UUID=2EF4957AF495454D that you changed?
[07:16] <Jordan_U> anon33_: Try "sudo chmod a+w /media/Backup/"
[07:16] <mrcomic> @tyrone all that line has the automount kinda stuff
[07:16] <harovali1> hi , does anyone have a clue as to how to deal with the "An error occurred while talking to the udisks service." that usb-creator" yields ?
[07:16] <anon33_> Jordan_U: that did it :)
[07:17] <anon33_> Jordan_U: what's a+w anyways?
[07:17] <Jaiisen>  when i connect to my wireless network it asks me for my password which is fine but then it asks me for my key ring and it says the password is incorrect... what do i doyoutube it, it DEFINATELY is ubuntu
[07:17] <Jaiisen> look it up it definately is ubuntu
[07:17] <Jaiisen> youtube it
[07:17] <Jaiisen> check on sourceforge
[07:17] <Jaiisen> alot of places
[07:17] <IdleOne> Jaiisen: it is not an official derivative.
[07:17] <Jordan_U> anon33_: the 'a' stands for all users, the '+' means add, the 'w' means write permission. So a+w means give write permission to all users.
[07:18] <anon33_> Jordan_U: thank you very much
[07:18] <Jaiisen> i'm doing lucid updates right now in terminal and its archving from ubuntu
[07:18] <Jaiisen> IdleOne correct! :)
[07:18] <Jordan_U> anon33_: You're welcome.
[07:18] <Jaiisen> youare right
[07:18] <Jaiisen> nice word also :)
[07:18] <IdleOne> Jaiisen: glad you agree. Now see if they have their own support channel

[07:19] <AlexSLVR> Can i change Gnome shell to UNITY on ubuntu 10.04 LTS?
[07:19] <Jaiisen> you think I should switch to red hat enterprise or just linux mint?

[07:31] <IdleOne> mansor: prefs look ok.
[07:31] <laptopbuttons> Jordan_U: so, they're mapped to this xf86 stuff?
[07:32] <mansor> so u don't have any idea?
[07:33] <bencahill_> Jordan_U, so can you think of any other way of booting to the usb without messing up the existing hdd install?
[07:33] <xhydeko> anyone know how to make the rename command work on all subdirectories?
[07:33] <bencahill_> xhydeko, why would you want to do that?

[07:37] <xhydeko> is it possible to use the rename command on all sub directories? if not then i'm guess i have to use that command literally hundreds of times
[07:37] <Myrtti> drag: put all that to pastebin and perhaps someone will have a look.
[07:38] <xhydeko> *i
[07:38] <drag> thank Myrti
[07:39] <bullgard> xhydeko: You better specify what you are going to accomplish with all your subdirectories.  --  For example you can use the rename command in a loop.
[07:39] <xhydeko> rename 'y/a-z/A-Z/' *
[07:40] <xhydeko> that's the command i used and i was only able to rename everything in the one directory, but i need it to rename all the sub directories as well

[07:53] <powerpunk> como me conecto remotamente a una maquina desde consola ??
[07:53] <Myrtti> !es | powerpunk
[07:53] <sacarlson> ezzy: yes I think you can, look in the files /etc/apache2  and grep for error or 404
[07:53] <powerpunk> quiero practica... quiero apoyo para to learn

[07:54] <ezzy> ah yes*
[07:54] <xiong> 中文
[07:55] <sacarlson> ydd58: is this the raid system?
[07:55] <ezzy> ydd58, does it give a line number at which it fails?
[07:55] <DasEi> powerpunk: it's an only english spoken channel, see !es above

[07:56] <Nazaryn> Full lunar eclipse outside right now, for those of you on EST
[07:56] <randy_> if the computer stop work,can not use xkill only can use SysRq,but I wan to restart X,don't want to reboot,what should do
[07:57] <tehbaut_> So I'm trying to crack this mystery regarding a "No space left on device" error I keep getting on a drive that shows 1.6TB remaining... any ideas what the issue might be?
[07:57] <Davedan> under what path should I put a shell script that run a server I wrote?
[07:58] <ezzy> scarlson, are you looking at error_document.conf?
[07:58] <dc5ala> randy_: still got shell access? can try kill your login manager, this should restart it
[07:58] <sacarlson> Davedan: there are a few places you can put it like /etc/init.d  or the new sysV methods but I normaly use cron with @reboot,  just my personal preference
[07:59] <ezzy> scarlson, "#" will escape the code behind it and \# doesn't work either it just redirects to / without the anchor
[07:59] <ezzy> scarlson, if I put a full url it will go ahead and work however..
[07:59] <bencahill_> Jordan_U, do you have any other ideas regarding booting to the usb while keeping the hdd install intact?
[07:59] <Davedan> sacarlson: I'll use upstart for runing it on boot and I think I'll put the whole app under /opt/myapp but I don't know where to put the script that control it
[08:00] <sacarlson> ezzy: no I'm not looking but I have changed it before some time back,  I don't remember the details
[08:00] <sacarlson> Davedan: that sounds like a good idea and that what most are moving to
[08:00] <ezzy> scarlson, you've used # tag?
[08:01] <sacarlson> ezzy: # is normaly a comment out in those things
[08:01] <Jordan_U> bencahill_: You can keep the /boot for the USB system on the internal without disturbing the current system.
[08:01] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut, df -l in term pastebin result
[08:02] <bencahill_> Jordan_U, oh? do I need to make a separate partition for it?
[08:02] <Jordan_U> bencahill_: Yes.
[08:02] <ezzy> scarlson, oh yes of course but its interesting that "ErrorDocument 400 http://servername.com/#ERROR400" will work but not "ErrorDocument #ERROR400"
[08:02] <ezzy> "ErrorDocument /#ERROR400"
[08:03] <ezzy> *

[08:03] <sacarlson> ezzy  yes they must have a way so you can still use #  and /# might be the exception

[08:03] <bencahill_> Jordan_U, ah, ok :) is there a cli tool for resizing a partition? I don't have any unpartitioned space, the ubuntu installer filled it up
[08:03] <sara2010> i m using 10.10
[08:03] <r00t4rd3d> sara ask ask
[08:04] <sara2010> and i want install some fonts
[08:04] <sara2010> in openoffice
[08:04] <sara2010> how i can do
[08:04] <bonjoyee> sara2010: what fonts?
[08:04] <sara2010> i have few fonts in tif
[08:04] <Jordan_U> bencahill_: You can use parted, or the GUI front end gparted.
[08:04] <bencahill_> sara2010, tif?
[08:04] <bonjoyee> sara2010: you mean ttf?
[08:05] <sara2010> text fonts  for openoffice
[08:05] <sara2010> ya ttf
[08:05] <bencahill_> Jordan_U, ah, it never clicked that gparted was based on a cl tool, silly me :)
[08:05] <bencahill_> sara2010, oh :)
[08:05] <Myrtti> sara2010: copy them to your .fonts directory
[08:05] <bonjoyee> sara2010:  mkdir ~/.fonts , then copy your fonts there
[08:06] <bonjoyee> sara2010: then do, fc-cache -fv
[08:06] <bencahill_> Jordan_U, but I couldn't do that while running on the partition being resized, right :-P hmm...I've got a puppy livecd...
[08:06] <dc5ala> sara2010: have you installed mscorefonts? (package name ttf-mscorefonts-installer)
[08:06] <ezzy> sacarlson, heh such a simple thing =\
[08:07] <tyrone> hey people, I edited my /etc/fstab file and rebooted trying to sort out a mounting issue... now my linux doesn't boot at all and I am in recovery mode. anyone know how to edit the file from the command? I dont' know since I always use gksu gedit before
[08:07] <sara2010> dc5ala,  nops o hav't install
[08:07] <bencahill_> tyrone, sudo nano /etc/fstab
[08:07] <sacarlson> sara2010: I found this http://www.wikihow.com/Install-True-Type-Fonts-on-Ubuntu
[08:08] <sacarlson> sara2010: but the package install above looks easier
[08:08] <tyrone> bencahill, thanks. will try that and see how I go
[08:09] <sara2010> sacarlson,   let me try
[08:09] <sara2010> bonjoyee,  where is the directory ?
[08:09] <bonjoyee> sara2010: in your home...press ctrl+h  to see it
[08:10] <tyrone> bencahill... have edited the file but when I try exit and save over it says I don't ahve the privileges
[08:10] <sacarlson> tyrone: I'm not sure at the point your at but I use vi to edit in standard terms but there are others also like nano
[08:10] <tyrone> sacarlson thanks. I am trying nano at the moment
[08:12] <upatnight> yo all - anyone recommend a lite internet music client??
[08:13] <bonjoyee> sara2010: any luck?
[08:13] <sara2010>  mkdir ~/.fonts
[08:13] <sara2010> mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/test/.fonts': File exists
[08:13] <sara2010> bonjoyee,  nops :(
[08:13] <tyrone> bencahill: I don't seem to have the permissions I need to save changes. any ideas?
[08:13] <bonjoyee> sara2010: the folder is there..jusy copy your ttf files in there
[08:13] <bencahill_> sacarlson, tyrone: I use vi also, but recommend nano for beginners because it doesn't quite have the learning curve :)
[08:14] <bencahill_> tyrone, sudo
[08:14] <sacarlson> sara2010: I guess just cd /.fonts
[08:14] <bencahill_> tyrone, before nano /etc/fstab
[08:14] <sacarlson> sara2010: opps cd ~/.fonts
[08:14] <bencahill_> tyrone, so sudo nano /etc/fstab
[08:14] <tyrone> bencahill: I was in sudo bash already
[08:14] <sara2010> cd /.fonts
[08:14] <sara2010> bash: cd: /.fonts: No such file or directory
[08:14] <bencahill_> tyrone, how?
[08:15] <bonjoyee> sara2010: theres a ~ before the /
[08:15] <tehbaut_> So I'm trying to crack this mystery regarding a "No space left on device" error I keep getting on a drive that shows 1.6TB remaining... any ideas what the issue might be?
[08:15] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut, df -l in term pastebin result
[08:15] <bonjoyee> sara2010: or simply do cd /home/test/.fonts
[08:15] <bencahill_> tehbaut_, using win or ubuntu?
[08:16] <tyrone> bencahill: I have tried sudo nano too. :(
[08:16] <sara2010> i have fonts folder in desktop
[08:16] <sara2010> now i want copy this folder
[08:16] <bonjoyee> sara2010: just copy the ttf files in that folder to /home/test/.fonts
[08:17] <bencahill_> tyrone, interesting, tell me what it says for this:
[08:18] <bencahill_> tyrone, ls -l /etc/fstab
[08:18] <tehbaut_> bencahill: ubuntu 10.10 (but 9.04 also had the same issue)
[08:18] <bonjoyee> tyrone: what is the output of "whoami"
[08:18] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut, df -l in term pastebin result
[08:18] <r00t4rd3d> for the 3rd time\
[08:19] <r00t4rd3d> plus once in pm
[08:19] <sara2010> bonjoyee,  thanks alot let me try
[08:19] <tyrone> bencahill, it says -rw-r--r-- 1 root toot 1182 2010-12-21 09:18 /etc/fstab
[08:19] <tyrone> bonjoyee: it says root
[08:19] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: sorry, missed those first two (probably due to alternate nick use)
[08:19] <bencahill> tyrone, then if you are root (sudo or gksudo), you can write to it
[08:20] <bonjoyee> tyrone: then u dont need sudo as well...
[08:20] <tyrone> bencahill. noob question. should I try gksudo then? I thought that was only for the gnome interface (not sure if that is the right term)
[08:20] <bencahill> tyrone, right, you don't need sudo, you're a superuser!
[08:20] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut_, im gonna guess your root partition is almost full
[08:21] <bonjoyee> tyrone: just do nano /etc/fstab
[08:21] <sacarlson> tyrone: you did see the # in your term before you nano edit?
[08:21] <Viking667> 'llo. New machine, (sorta) unknown hardware, I've got networking going, but I don't have sound.
[08:21] <tyrone> bencahill, that is what is confusing me. I typed sudo bash at the beginning of m y session like I always do to stop having to write sudo for everything
[08:21] <bencahill> tyrone, no, you're correct, that's for some things that are handled differently by gnome gui programs, iirc
[08:21] <tyrone> sacarlson: yes I do
[08:21] <Viking667> seems to be using snd-hda-intel, and some of the oss emulation modules, but I don't seem to have /dev/snd/anything
[08:22] <purvesh> my problem solved, Thank You
[08:22] <bencahill> tyrone, not a good habit imo, it's not that hard to type sudo
[08:22] <Viking667> whoops, withdraw that comment.... Ijust found one
[08:22] <sacarlson> tyrone: and is the file your editing in a read/write mount mode?   check with command mount
[08:22] <tyrone> bencahill: I suppose you are right
[08:22] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: output of df -l http://pastebin.com/A6LyEYYx
[08:23] <tehbaut_> /dev/sdc1 is the drive with the issues
[08:23] <tyrone> sacarlson, what is the syntax for that? mount /etc/fstab?
[08:23] <bencahill> tyrone, yes, as sacarlson said, the partition may be mounted as ro
[08:23] <r00t4rd3d> whats in /rofs ?
[08:23] <reenignEesreveR> i can't get my EVDO 3g USB Modem working using Network Manager :(
[08:23] <sacarlson> tyrone: just one word   #mount
[08:24] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: no idea, I'm running a livecd... maybe it has to do with that?
[08:24] <sacarlson> bencahill:  that correct it must be mounted read only
[08:24] <tyrone> sacarlson, it spewed out some stuff and at teh end it said that /etc/mtab is not writable
[08:25] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: I was able to copy files to the external HDD this morning, but there came a point where it stopped doing so, giving this error instead
[08:25] <bonjoyee> tyrone: if u have a livecd boot it..and edit the fstab file from there
[08:25] <mendax03> does any knw abt open source remote keylogger??
[08:25] <tehbaut_> no idea what caused it or why it started happening all of a sudden, with 1.6TB still available on the drive
[08:26] <tyrone> bonjoyee, I thought that no file changes could be made from live boot?
[08:27] <dc5ala> tyrone: you are running on a small ramdisk (in memory drive), you can even install software
[08:28] <tyrone> dc5ala: thanks. will try that
[08:28] <Viking667> Right. I guess I'd better ask another question then. How do I pry my current settings into mixer0 (instead of mixer2)?
[08:28] <Viking667> I don't see any settings in /etc/udev/rules.d relating to sound files.

[08:29] <FishFace> upatnight: Did you find the player you were looking for?
[08:29] <tyrone> bonjoyee. I only have cd for 9.10 but am on latest version do you think it matters?
[08:31] <bencahill> tyrone, what is it that you are editing /etc/fstab for?
[08:31] <tyrone> bencahill. I had a partition that wouldn't mount
[08:31] <bencahill> are you running on a livecd? partitions all on the same hdd?
[08:32] <bencahill> tyrone, aw, you scared bonjoyee away! :)
[08:32] <bencahill> !ru | Wol
[08:33] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut_, sudo du -hc --max-depth=1 in a term , pastebin result
[08:33] <r00t4rd3d> make sure in term your at /
[08:34] <tyrone> bencahill. my bad :) No, I am only now running the liveCD as a means to edit the /etc/fstab file. I was just asking him if it mattered that the version I was trying to edit was from a later version than the CD I have
[08:34] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: k, one sec
[08:34] <bencahill> tyrone, no, doesn't matter, why are you running a livecd just to edit /etc/fstab?
[08:35] <Nonpython> Hello, I accidentally added two menus to my panel, and now my panel has disappeared and the bottom of this window is snapping around like the panel is invisible than crashing than it reappears, invisible.
[08:35] <tyrone> bencahill: that was the suggestion made when we discovered that the mount command returned writable
[08:36] <tyrone> bencahill. sorry, returned not writable
[08:36] <nirazio> I know how to install true-type fonts (by copy them to /usr/share/fonts/truetype and do sudo fc-cache -f) but what about otf formats? I didn't find a suitable folder to copy them.
[08:36] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: like so? http://pastebin.com/4MtEUs8L
[08:37] <r00t4rd3d> nope. in term do cd /
[08:37] <r00t4rd3d> then
[08:37] <r00t4rd3d> sudo du -hc --max-depth=1 in a term , pastebin result
[08:37] <tehbaut_> ah, gotcha
[08:37] <bencahill> tyrone, gotcha, I missed that, so open a terminal on the livecd, mount the drive, and edit it
[08:37] <tyrone> bencahill. so any other ideas. liveCD doesn't let me edit
[08:37] <tehbaut_> it's taking some time
[08:37] <dc5ala> Nonpython: only bottom panel is gone but top one is working? or you have none at all now?
[08:38] <bencahill> tyrone, even using sudo?
[08:39] <tyrone> bencahill. what would the path to the file be since I am using a "live linux" to edit my real linux. the normal /etc/fstab would point to the live version and not the one that I want to edit no?
[08:39] <bencahill> tyrone, depends where it is mounted
[08:40] <bencahill> tyrone, yes /etc/fstab is the one for the livecd, which is pretty short and different than usual :)
[08:41] <bencahill> tyrone, is it already mounted
[08:42] <tyrone> bencahil. browsed for the file and copied location from properties. I am in now. waiting for reboot to see what happens
[08:42] <bencahill> tyrone, ok :)
[08:42] <pipeline8085> hiya has anoyone else had issues with apt taking forever and not finding some packages the key ones for me are ant ruby and rails :/ i do update all the repo srcs and still nothing im on ubuntu 10.10 x64 server
[08:43] <tyrone> bencahill. I am in but there is still an error which says that it has trouble mounting sda1 which I had the opportunity to skip and it went to login screen
[08:44] <bencahill> tyrone, can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l?
[08:44] <sacarlson> pipeline8085: yes I have,  at times I need to change my repository server
[08:44] <pipeline8085> ah
[08:44] <pipeline8085> what one do you use?
[08:45] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut_, yeah cause of your hard drive size
[08:45] <sacarlson> pipeline8085: if my local thailand fails I normaly go to the main us based
[08:45] <r00t4rd3d> but basically we are going to find out where all your space is being taken up
[08:45] <pipeline8085> ah the us one is whats failing for me :(
[08:45] <sacarlson> pipeline8085: then I would reverse and go to your local
[08:45] <pipeline8085> that is my local xD
[08:45] <sacarlson> pipeline8085: I've also used japan
[08:46] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: sounds good... still crunching, I'll ping you when it's done
[08:46] <pipeline8085> ah ill try them then
[08:46] <ChinoGodo> eeeeeee...!!
[08:46] <tyrone> bencahill: pastebinit sudo fdisk -1 doesn't seem to work
[08:46] <sacarlson> pipeline8085: random pick will probly work but there are also tool to detect the fastist ones

[08:54] <bencahill> tyrone, took me a moment to write :)
[08:55] <tyrone> bencahill. no probs in the meantime I got my real nick back.

[08:56] <tyrone> bencahill: ok. are you wanting me to pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab?
[08:56] <Viking667> Ah. Time to reboot, I guess.
[08:56] <bencahill> tyrone, if you have a registered nick, next time do /msg nickserv ghost newnick password - that will log it out remotely, and then /nick newnick
[08:57] <bencahill> tyrone, you can do that also, but definitely the output of sudo fdisk -l
[08:57] <Mito125> Can you help me with the minimal post-installation??? I don't know what packet I must install...
[08:57] <chouchou> hello, any developer / sys admin from south Korea?

[08:59] <amit> i don't know to use wine
[08:59] <aLemmer> PlayOnLinux.
[08:59] <amit> i have installed it but i don't know
[08:59] <bencahill> tyrone, looks fine, and /dev/sda1 is fat32?
[08:59] <tyrone> bencahill. http://paste.ubuntu.com/546193/
[08:59] <amit> have installed play on linux too but guys help me how to start
[09:00] <aLemmer> Did you download the actual installers?
[09:00] <aLemmer> Make sure to get WineTricks, too.
[09:00] <aLemmer> What game are you trying to get working?
[09:00] <bencahill> tyrone, also, I would highly recommend using uuid's rather than /dev/sdxy, but that's a side point
[09:00] <tyrone> bencahill. according to my disk manager it is NTFS
[09:00] <l33tch> amit: wine ~/program/app.exe
[09:00] <r00t4rd3d> amit, Applications , Games , PlayOnLinux
[09:00] <aLemmer> I have a question myself.
[09:01] <aLemmer> Is there a way to manage/install a guest OS via CLI on Ubuntu Server?
[09:01] <bencahill> tyrone, well it's in fstab as vfat, that's why it won't mount :D
[09:01] <tyrone> bencahill: after this last episode I would edit this file with a lot more fear and trepidation
[09:01] <amit> l33tch:thanx m going to try
[09:01] <aLemmer> Most things I see require a GUI.
[09:01] <Mito125> Can you help me with the minimal post-installation??? I don't know what packet I must install... Drivers for gpu card, wireless card, card reader...
[09:01] <bencahill> tyrone, just change the vfat to ntfs in fstab and you'll be good :)
[09:01] <aLemmer> Mito125: you should try a full install.
[09:01] <sebastiaan_> hello..
[09:01] <tyrone> bencahill. should I change that and reboot?
[09:02] <bencahill> tyrone, yup
[09:02] <aLemmer> Mito125: start by locating your devices with lspci.
[09:02] <aLemmer> Mito125: then Google "ubuntu devicename."
[09:02] <sebastiaan_> anyone have some experience with graphic cards from amd?
[09:02] <Mito125> aLemmer i have install the full install, but i prefer the minimal for practice...
[09:02] <bencahill> !ask | sebastiaan_

[09:03] <tyrone> bencahill. done. see you on the other side

[09:03] <bencahill> tyrone, 'k, cya :)
[09:04] <aLemmer> How good is VIRSH?
[09:04] <Jordan_U> aLemmer: kvm can be used completely from the terminal.
[09:05] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: here's the output of du at /: http://pastebin.com/0YKq5nWa
[09:05] <aLemmer> Jordan_U Will I need VIRSH to manage KVM?
[09:06] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut_ hmmm
[09:06] <Jordan_U> aLemmer: It depends on what type of management you need to do.
[09:07] <jimly> hello
[09:07] <mendax03> Wazzup jimly?
[09:07] <aLemmer> Jordan_U: basically, I want to setup a lot of DSL installs for my friends to use remotely as "cloud computers."
[09:07] <tyrone> bencahill. thanks it now mounts beautifully
[09:07] <bencahill> tyrone, sometimes it's the simplest things :) glad you got it working :)
[09:08] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut_, whats in your media folder ?
[09:08] <Ileden> Hi! The WLAN of my (Win7/linux dualboot) laptop is acting up pretty weird. It works with following configs: WorkWLAN/Win7 WorkWLAN/linux HomeWLAN/Win7 however, HomeWLAN/linux fails - and it fails weird. It connects to network pretty randomly, and there's sort-of random packet loss when it connects (at times, it seems good, other times 50% packet loss). Any ideas what could be causing this?
[09:08] <tyrone> bencahill. I still get an error on startup though and I think it is cos it is trying to automount from this other disk utility I had once. perhaps that is an issue for another time though. thanks so much for helping a noob out much appreciated ;)
[09:08] <Jordan_U> aLemmer: You can probably do that comfortably just using kvm without any extra tools.
[09:09] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: that's where the two drives are mounted
[09:09] <tehbaut_> the internal 500GB and the external 2TB
[09:09] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut_, you have 568gig total and 561gig in your media folder
[09:09] <aLemmer> Jordan_U: sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils?
[09:10] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: right, but 500GB isn't 2TB
[09:10] <Ileden> I've had similar problems with my other laptop's wlan at home after upgrade to 10.10. I thought they were about the laptop, but now I'm thinking it might be something else too, since there's similar trouble with this other computer.
[09:10] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut_, cd media
[09:11] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: the external drive shows as having 1.6TB available... so it can't be taken up, thus I shouldn't be having "No space available on device" errors
[09:11] <Ileden> Any guessing at what's causing this is welcome. Maybe there's something I can do at home WLAN:n config...
[09:11] <Jordan_U> aLemmer: All you need is qemu-kvm (which will bring in bridge-utils).
[09:11] <Jordan_U> aLemmer: If you want the other packages then by all means install them as well though.
[09:12] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut_, something must not be right with your external
[09:12] <Jordan_U> tehbaut_: You're probably run out of inodes. Do you have many small files on that filesystem?
[09:12] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d: what would be wrong with it though? I think that's what I am after...
[09:12] <Ileden> Also, I'm interested in any ideas on what sort of data to collect about the problem in order to help troubleshooting the issue. Is there some useful data about the wlan conncetion I could try to gather for troubleshooting?
[09:13] <tehbaut_> Jordan_U: no, there are plenty of inodes: http://pastebin.com/isqUDbhR
[09:14] <Nonpython> Hi. My panel crashes, then restarts and crashes again before it becomes visible. This started after I accidentially added a second menu. Can anyone help?
[09:15] <r00t4rd3d> !resetpanel | r00t4rd3d
[09:15] <Nonpython> !resetpanel
[09:15] <r00t4rd3d> !resetpanel | Nonpython
[09:16] <r00t4rd3d> do that command and it will put you back to default
[09:17] <Jordan_U> tehbaut_: Anything look interesting in dmesg?
[09:17] <Nonpython> It did not fix it.
[09:18] <Jordan_U> tehbaut_: Since this is an ntfs partition, can you add files to it from windows?
[09:18] <sgo11> hi, new to ubuntu. with ubuntu-server 10.10, why the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic does not exist? by reading the ubuntu-server serverguide, I supposed to edit this file. this serverguide doesn't ask users to create the file, instead, it uses the word 'edit'. thanks.
[09:18] <tehbaut_> I had no problems adding files from ubuntu or windows up until a certain point... after I started getting these errors in ubuntu, I didn't try again in windows
[09:19] <Jordan_U> tehbaut_: Try again in windows if it's not too much trouble.
[09:19] <Nonpython> Starting gnome-panel manually causes a assert error.
[09:19] <r00t4rd3d> chkdsk /f in windows on it might not hurt either
[09:20] <pfui> is it possible to do a cli install from the desktop cd?
[09:21] <Jordan_U> pfui: Not in a straightforward way.
[09:22] <sgo11> hi, since ubuntu doesn't have chkconfig, how can I enable/disable services at boot time? I switched from opensuse. thanks.
[09:22] <Jordan_U> !boot | sgo11
[09:25] <iszak> I get the error configure: error: z library not found.. please install libz but I can't seem to find libz in the repo.
[09:26] <fffu> iszak, it's zlib
[09:26] <r00t4rd3d> zlib-devel
[09:26] <Viking667> Gah. I can hear my voice in my microphone, but Skype can't hear me...
[09:26] <bencahill> tyrone, np :)
[09:26] <iszak> r00t4rd3d, will try, thanks
[09:27] <Viking667> I've gained one of these new-fangled snd-hda-intel thingys and can't figure out what the freak I'm supposed to be setting things to.
[09:27] <bencahill> Viking667, wait, what did you say?
[09:27] <iszak> fffu, r00t4rd3d what package should I install? no zlib-devel
[09:28] <Viking667> When I make a test call to the test bot, I don't hear my voice, though I hear its voice fine.
[09:28] <maco> Viking667: unfortunately the hda spec is overbroad so which mixer elements you have is highly variable, but start with:  master, pcm, and front should be up
[09:28] <r00t4rd3d> zlib1g-dev i would try
[09:29] <bonjoyee> iszak: install zlib1g
[09:29] <Viking667> uh. I just found something... I've got "front" devices as well as the "mic"
[09:29] <iszak> bonjoyee, okay will do, thanks
[09:29] <Viking667> i.e. front speakers, and speakers,   front mic and mic.
[09:29] <Viking667> yeesh.
[09:29] <maco> Viking667: there may be 2 mics in your system... Front Mic would mean the one on the screen, and Mic would be the jack
[09:29] <tehbaut_> Jordan_U, r00t4rd3d: I'll go back to windows and try both suggestions... if I find problems, should I reformat via windows or come back to ubuntu to do that?
[09:30] <Jordan_U> tehbaut_: It shouldn't matter one way or the other.
[09:30] <r00t4rd3d> chkdsk /f will fix it if it finds errors
[09:30] <Viking667> Whew. That's got THAT sorted.
[09:30] <r00t4rd3d> maybe
[09:31] <aLemmer> I'm currently only seeing guides to installing Ubuntu with ubuntu-vm-builder, should I be using a different tool?
[09:31] <Viking667> maco: no... there literally IS a "front" jack, it's on the front of the computer (not in the back where the rest of the sound jacks are)
[09:31] <maco> Viking667: well thats interesting
[09:31] <maco> Viking667: desktop then?
[09:32] <Viking667> it's not particularly loud, actually so I might stick a second sound card in, as I often daisychain here.
[09:32] <r00t4rd3d> iszak, any luck ?
[09:32] <Viking667> heh.
[09:32] <Viking667> Goes with the territory of a new machine (new to me)
[09:33] <Ileden> Does anyone know if there's any support channel similar to this for Windows 7? :)
[09:33] <r00t4rd3d> everyone has problems with mic and skype
[09:33] <bonjoyee> Ileden: ##windows
[09:33] <r00t4rd3d> it seems
[09:33] <Viking667> oh, my ****** goodness.
[09:34] <Viking667> I seem to have 64-bit.
[09:34] <Ileden> bonjoyee: well, well. thanks!
[09:34] <tehbaut_> r00t4rd3d, Jordan_U: if you don't see me again, then def thanks for the help :)
[09:35] <r00t4rd3d> ok , come back and tell us if you got it fixed
[09:35] <iszak> r00t4rd3d, yeah it worked.
[09:35] <r00t4rd3d> cool , what you trying to build from source ?
[09:36] <r00t4rd3d> if you dont mind me asking
[09:36] <furythor> I have weird problem, my folder view looks very "blockky" and it changed after latest update, and yet all other things seem to be in line with visual theme
[09:36] <furythor> how to fix that
[09:37] <Ileden> furythor: blockky? you don't happen to have a screenshot anywhere?
[09:37] <Ileden> furythor: have you tried fiddling around with Appearance settings?
[09:38] <Jordan_U> tehbaut: You're welcome.
[09:38] <furythor> Yeah, but all other things on screen behave as they should, folder view (when looking folders) is jinxed
[09:38] <r00t4rd3d> show us a screenshot :D
[09:38] <kn_> hello, i was wondering if someone uses ssh -T to hide theirself who, how would i know who is logged in
[09:38] <r00t4rd3d> know how ?
[09:39] <bonjoyee> kn_: w
[09:39] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kn_: good question
[09:39] <r00t4rd3d> kn , who
[09:39] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kn_: now if someone was connected to you via ssh?
[09:39] <kn_> ssh -T
[09:40] <kn_> it disables pseudo-tty
[09:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kn_: play it safe and stop that service unless you really need it now
[09:40] <r00t4rd3d> you shouldnt be able to hide from root should you ?
[09:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kn_: especially coming into a irc chat
[09:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> unsafe
[09:41] <amit> hi m new user of ubuntu, i have installed it using entire disk and make no partitiion. now i want to partiton. ho w to do that
[09:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kn_: why do you ask?
[09:42] <furythor> Ileden: Here is link to screenshot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13906995/weird.png
[09:42] <kn_> Us3r_Unfriendly because i just am
[09:42] <furythor> what causes that ?
[09:42] <balloooza> yeah, somone could use your ip, if you want to be secure remote accessing use hamachis new 2.0 beta for linux
[09:42] <r00t4rd3d> amit gparted
[09:42] <amit> ok
[09:42] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kn_: for legal purposes?
[09:42] <kn_> trying to force people stop using ssh -T
[09:42] <Ileden> furythor: Ah, ok. That's a problem that can probably be fixed via Appearance settings.
[09:42] <bonjoyee> amit: boot from livecd and use gparted..
[09:42] <amit> root4rd3d: m installing it when i done installed then i wil ask how to do that,ok sir
[09:42] <Us3r_Unfriendly> amit: also if creating another partition for windows your going to have to grub-install to get grub back
[09:43] <benjr> since opening and closing a 3d game my sound has stopped working, how can i fix it? someone suggested i do "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" but that command doesnt exist
[09:43] <balloooza> hamachi is a way to connect in a vpn like way remotely
[09:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kn_: turn off the ssh service on your system
[09:43] <furythor> Ileden: No I have already tried that but don't know where it comes from ...
[09:43] <amit> i used whole my 500gb for linux installation
[09:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kn_: firewall is great too
[09:43] <furythor> it is only the directory browsing effecting thing
[09:43] <r00t4rd3d> amit you probably have to use it from a livecd
[09:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> amit: your off to a good start then
[09:43] <Ileden> furythor: have you tried selecting another theme, then switching back to "Ambiance"?
[09:44] <furythor> Ileden: Yeah, but it does not fix that problem
[09:44] <amit> Us3r_unfriendly: don't understand sir!
[09:44] <Wyn> benjr: ps -fe and kill the process using it
[09:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> furythor: you can throw a -x in the ssh command to view gui's.  if you don't need the ssh service allowing ppl to connect to you then just turn it off...
[09:45] <colorred> hello
[09:45] <mendax03> Wazzup colorred?
[09:45] <colorred> http://www.ClaraVenger.com/?id=244679
[09:45] <Wyn> benjr: lsof | grep pcm
[09:45] <amit> root4rd3d:ok  i have to use live cd and then use gparted to make partition
[09:45] <Ileden> furythor: ok... hmm, I don't think I can help further.
[09:45] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kn_: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh-service stop             <-----or whatever it's called now a days
[09:45] <IShadowed> So I have a question about installing it.
[09:46] <IShadowed> I tried to, and it epic failed.
[09:46] <Us3r_Unfriendly> IShadowed: about installing what?
[09:46] <Ileden> furythor: have you tried using the "customize" button, and selecting some other button sets, or such?
[09:46] <balloooza> sudo service openssh-server stop
[09:46] <furythor> Us3r_Unfriendly: what that should do ?
[09:46] <r00t4rd3d> amit yeah cause you can resize a partition while your using it
[09:46] <IShadowed> ...Ubuntu?
[09:46] <r00t4rd3d> cant*****
[09:46] <benjr> Wyn: ah thanks, that second command returned less results then the first :)
[09:46] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i'm lost lol...installed what?
[09:46] <IShadowed> ...
[09:46] <IShadowed> Uh, Ubuntu?
[09:46] <IShadowed> D'uh?
[09:47] <Wyn> benjr: just looks for things using your sound mods
[09:47] <amit> ok sir m inserting live cd,and for partition please help me sir! m coming in a while going to insert live cd
[09:47] <bonjoyee> furythor: have u done too many customizations to your desktop theme?
[09:47] <Wyn> IShadowed: lots of people have issues and qeustions regardning installing and using diffrent things ON Ubuntu not just installing Ubuntu
[09:47] <balloooza> parted magic  {
[09:47] <IShadowed> Wyn: Oh, I'm sure/
[09:47] <balloooza> parted magic is better than gparted
[09:47] <Us3r_Unfriendly> IShadowed: sorry thought someone else was asking the install question
[09:47] <bonjoyee> furythor: if u don't mind doing them again..i can help u get the default ubuntu desktop back
[09:48] <r00t4rd3d> partition magic is not free though :(
[09:48] <Wyn> amit: do you have much on there or what ? IE if its a clean install just re-install and make some partitions
[09:48] <balloooza> no parted magic
[09:48] <r00t4rd3d> oh
[09:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> IShadowed: how'd you EPIC failed?
[09:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> IShadowed: need to be more specific
[09:48] <balloooza> it loads into ram and has a bunch of recovery tools too
[09:48]  * Wyn EPIC fail, for when normal failure just isn't good enough
[09:49] <amit> Wyn: no its not clean install
[09:49] <balloooza> and it is a play of of partition magic
[09:49] <bencahill> bye all, going to bed :)
[09:49] <Us3r_Unfriendly> so true Wyn
[09:49] <r00t4rd3d> IShadowed, did you put the cd in upside down ?
[09:49] <IShadowed> Great. So basically- when installing Ubuntu- it decided that my keyboard layout should be Tanzanian. I don't speak that. So I tried to change it- the install froze, so I rebooted. Well, this time I tried to install it, the "Install next to an existing OS" wasn't there
[09:49] <Ileden> r00t4rd3d: "parted magic" is a free probelm, that does same things as the commercial "parition magic"
[09:49] <IShadowed> r00t4rd3d: Don't insult me. Thanks.
[09:49] <furythor> bonjoyee: Nope, something did happen after I installed latest updates, not sure what...
[09:49] <guest101> Does anyone know okular copy image and paste function function within in a pdf, is there a generic tool on ubuntu that I could use to copy from the screen without making an entire screen shot each time. thanks
[09:50] <Wyn> amit: ah, then boot into the live disk, open gparted (terminal sudo gparted ) and go from there
[09:50] <Us3r_Unfriendly> IShadowed: in the gdm menu (the login screen when you turn on your machine) you have the choice of selecting a keyboard layout
[09:50] <bonjoyee> furythor: u want to get the default ubuntu settings back?
[09:50] <furythor> yeah, pretty much
[09:50] <colorred> http://www.ClaraVenger.com/?id=244679
[09:50] <IShadowed> Us3r_Unfriendly: ...
[09:50]  * IShadowed facepalms
[09:50] <bonjoyee> furythor: do this
[09:50] <IShadowed> that's not my problem.
[09:50] <amit> wyn: sir doing this  is safe or i have to lost some data
[09:50] <amit> ?
[09:51] <IShadowed> My problem is that Ubuntu didn't install, and now it won't let me install parallel to my existing OS.
[09:51] <Wyn> amit: safe enough
[09:51] <IShadowed> And running it inside windows is a bitch.
[09:51] <bonjoyee> furythor: rm -r .gconf .gnome2 .config .local
[09:51] <Wyn> amit: always have data backups though, you need to re-size a disk then create a partition in the free space
[09:51] <r00t4rd3d> IShadowed, wubi ?
[09:51] <amit> wyn: o k sir m inserting the live cd firstly m installing gparted then sir u please help me in partiton
[09:51] <Jordan_U> furythor: bonjoyee: I would recommend renaming rather than deleting to be safe.
[09:51] <Us3r_Unfriendly> IShadowed: i suggest using another ubuntu cd or trying it out on a flash drive
[09:52] <Wyn> amit: please don't call me Sir, I work for a living
[09:52] <IShadowed> Us3r_Unfriendly: And that would help how?
[09:52] <bonjoyee> furythor: then logout and login again..this will give u a desktop like it was when u first logged in..
[09:52] <guest101> Does anyone know okular copy image and paste function function within in a pdf, is there a generic tool on ubuntu that I could use to copy from the screen without making an entire screen shot each time. thanks
[09:52] <amit> wyn:ur greatness
[09:52] <Ileden> IShadowed: yeah, if you rebooted during the install, you'd first need to look at what the situation is on your hard drive, and you can do that with gparted or such on a live cd.
[09:52] <Us3r_Unfriendly> IShadowed: i've seen some picky drives in my time...start at step one of fixing your question instead of being kinda of a ass
[09:53] <Us3r_Unfriendly> were here to help...not be critisized
[09:53] <Ileden> IShadowed: can you boot into the previous os?
[09:53] <maco> guest101: if you're not wanting to crop screenshots of the whole screen afterward, both gnome-screenshot and ksnapshot give the option of selecting a region of screen to use
[09:53] <IShadowed> Us3r_Unfriendly: And someone just asked me if I put the cd in upside down. I'd expect the same you just requested of me.
[09:53] <bonjoyee> Jordan_U: all these directories contain setting we have customised...no user data i believe
[09:53] <guest101> thanks maco
[09:54] <sebastiaan_> after installing the propietary drivers for my radeon hd5670 graphics card of amd and rebooting the system my monitors tells ¨not supported¨.. what to do?
[09:54] <IShadowed> Ileden, yes, I'm in the previous OS.
[09:54] <Wyn> amit: let me guess, your from India ?
[09:54] <r00t4rd3d> I was thinking of how you can epic fail.
[09:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> IShadowed: r00t4rd3d said he was going to kill me a couple of days ago...who cares...try step one of trying a new cd
[09:54] <amit> wyn:yes how do u know this?
[09:54] <IShadowed> also, Ileden, I've tried looking at the specified paritions on my harddrive, but uh... it's confusing.
[09:55] <Ileden> IShadowed: ok, then it's not completely messed up, at least. Was this your first install of ubuntu to this system, or do you know what partitions you have?
[09:55] <r00t4rd3d> Us3r_Unfriendly, Ive spent the past 3 days messing with compiz tyvm
[09:55] <r00t4rd3d> :D
[09:55] <shafi> how to disable data recovery in ubuntu?
[09:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: nice...
[09:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: most ppl hate compiz nowadays
[09:55] <shafi> I don't want some one to find out the deleted files
[09:56] <gramm> hi everybody
[09:56] <Wyn> amit: just a guess
[09:56] <IShadowed> Ileden: I don't, uh, "know" what paritions I have. I've looked at the paritions shown in Windows Disk Management, but they're quite ambiguous
[09:56] <gramm> I need some help with my ubuntu :)
[09:56] <Us3r_Unfriendly> shafi: anyone can find deleted files...need to write over them
[09:56] <gramm> is it the good place to ask?
[09:56] <amit> Wyn: but for guessing u used any logic.what was that?
[09:56] <Wyn> gramm: the best
[09:56] <Us3r_Unfriendly> like a couple of times till it's corrupt enough from the new data
[09:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> gramm: how may i help
[09:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ?
[09:57] <Wyn> amit: the way you use English, the tone and written cadence
[09:57] <r00t4rd3d> im curious of what files he is deleting and not wanting any one to see
[09:57] <Ileden> IShadowed: ok. That's probably where the live cd comes in. If you boot into live cd ubuntu, you can use gparted to see what the situation with your hard drive paritions are.
[09:57] <IShadowed> Ileden: can you translate what you just said into n00b, please?
[09:57] <gramm> Wyn: nice. My question is: is it possible to reinstall ubuntu without using the cdrom driver and usb connexion ?
[09:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: it's probably files on you
[09:57] <sebastiaan_> can it be that my tv does not support a graphics card signal?
[09:57] <gramm> Because my cdrom is broken, and my computer doesn't support usb boot
[09:57] <shafi> I had some private files and I deleted them, now I don't want some one to be able to recover them back, any way for this? Us3r_Unfriendly
[09:57] <Ileden> IShadowed: during the ubuntu install (that failed due to stuck&reboot) the installation option "alongside previous OS" does some parititoning (to be continued)
[09:57] <Wyn> gramm: no
[09:58] <gramm> dammit
[09:58] <r00t4rd3d> gramm, you in windows now ?
[09:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> gramm: a force flash boot
[09:58] <Ileden> IShadowed: partitioning is basically how you hard drive is diveded into different sections. in windows, these are "C:" "D:", etc.
[09:58] <Wyn> gramm: you can "clean" it up , upgrade depending on what version your using, netinstall (but you need the system for that)
[09:58] <IShadowed> Uhhuh.
[09:58] <IShadowed> I know.
[09:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> gramm: i haven't done this but i hear it can be done
[09:58] <IShadowed> I mean "live cd" wtf
[09:58] <Jordan_U> gramm: Yes, many ways. What can you boot from?
[09:58] <furythor> Renaming did help...
[09:59] <sebastiaan_> radeon hd 5670
[09:59] <Wyn> Jordan_U: really ? clean install but no CD or USB support, asuming no 2.5 either
[09:59] <gramm> I'd like to put back all the drivers/config files, because I my wireless adapter doesn't work since I've messed up the drivers a while ago
[09:59] <Ileden> IShadowed: What ubuntu "alongside" install does, is it shrinks down the partition where windows lives, and creates a new partition for itself tehere
[09:59] <bonjoyee> furythor: what happened?
[09:59] <Wyn> gramm: hell, you dont need to re-install for that
[09:59] <furythor> some setting was wrong ...
[09:59] <furythor> now it looks as it should
[09:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> gramm: why don't you just reinstall the driver for your wifi?
[09:59] <r00t4rd3d> sebastiaan_, probably the resolution is too high for your tv
[09:59] <gramm> And I tried putting back the ieee whatever and iw2200 something, but it's complicated (compilation errors and other conflicts) and I'd rather put back all the original files
[09:59] <Ileden> IShadowed: so we need to check with a live cd to see what the situation is - something's evidently messed up because ubuntu installer doesn't anymore notice your windows partiton.
[10:00] <bonjoyee> furythor: u did what i said? "rm -r"
[10:00] <IShadowed> Ileden: define "live cd"
[10:00] <Jordan_U> Wyn: You can netinstall, loop boot from an iso file (if grub2 is installed and still working), debootstrap chroot (if you have some type of linux system you can boot)...
[10:00] <sebastiaan_> can you explain a bit more? My tv is not that old actually
[10:00] <r00t4rd3d> start with a low resolution
[10:01] <Ileden> IShadowed: it's the same as the installation cd. You can boot into Ubuntu with the cd, without it doing anything to your hard drive. That's called "live cd".
[10:01] <r00t4rd3d> like 1024x768
[10:01] <Us3r_Unfriendly> gramm: if you somehow do reinstall you should look at a "system restore" for linux
[10:01] <sebastiaan_> hmm
[10:01] <Wyn> Jordan_U: that would not clean install, that would pre-suppose retaining at least grub
[10:01] <IShadowed> Ileden: Joy, and where do I find gparted? Also, uh, what do I do with it, then?
[10:01] <Jordan_U> Wyn: You can overwrite grub during the install, though it's a bit risky if installation fails.
[10:01] <Wyn> gramm: first lspci | grep 802
[10:02] <sebastiaan_> thatś difficult to set up without a monitor
[10:02] <Ileden> IShadowed: Are you chatting from the only computer available - the one you'd need to do the fixing to? Because if you have a laptop or such alongside, it would be easier if you could chat from that, so you'd be able to interact with the support channel here while you are lookign at the partition configuration...
[10:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> gramm: but i suggest fixing the wifi driver issue first
[10:02] <gramm> Us3r_Unfriendly: yeah but the System REstore will probably ask for a cd
[10:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> nope
[10:02] <Jordan_U> Wyn: Once grub has done its job of booting, it's no longer required.
[10:02] <aLemmer> Can someone help me get DSL running as a guest OS in Ubuntu Server?
[10:02] <Wyn> gramm: or simply lspci
[10:03] <IShadowed> actually I do have another, Ileden. Brb.
[10:03] <Jordan_U> Wyn: And a netinstall doesn't even require grub to start.
[10:03] <Wyn> Jordan_U: indeed, however I am refering to a clean install IE  everything is wiped and re-installed, partiotions, grub everything
[10:03] <gramm> Ok I'm going to reboot and go to ubuntu and get a ethernet connection. Will be back in a minute
[10:03] <Wyn> aLemmer: virtualbox
[10:03] <Ileden> IShadowed: gparted should be available on the live cd... uh, I'm not sure about that actually. Can anyone confirm this, and how to start it from live cd?
[10:04] <r00t4rd3d> sebastiaan_, can you start in failsafe mode ?
[10:04] <adtiya_wifi> Today i tried to install ubuntu 10.10 maverick through usb ........but was troubled to busybox.....waht to do????????
[10:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> gramm: look here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNPkE0loOSs&hd=1
[10:04] <Jordan_U> Wyn: That can be done without any external media with the "toram" kernel parameter to load the installation media completely into RAM at boot. The net installer loads everything into RAM this way by default.
[10:04] <r00t4rd3d> so you can edit your xorg.conf ?
[10:04] <aLemmer> Virtualbox works well via CLI?
[10:04] <Wyn> Jordan_U: I have not tried that, cool, thanks for the info
[10:04] <Jordan_U> Wyn: You're welcome.
[10:05] <adtiya_wifi> @ root4rd      As u said instal maverick ........Today i tried to install ubuntu 10.10 maverick through usb ........but was troubled to busybox.....waht to do????????
[10:05] <Us3r_Unfriendly> r00t4rd3d: what were you using before ubuntu?
[10:05] <Ileden> IShadowed: Well, at least you can start gparted by opening Applications->Accessories->Terminal and entreing "sudo gparted"
[10:06] <r00t4rd3d> adtiya_wifi, i dont get what you mean
[10:06] <r00t4rd3d> Us3r_Unfriendly, gaming on win7
[10:06] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: how did u create the live usb?
[10:06] <adtiya_wifi> bonjoyee through unetbootin
[10:07] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: use the startup disk creator found on ubuntu..it works well
[10:07] <adtiya_wifi> root4rd   yesterday u told me to insatall ubuntu 10.10 because of wife BCM 4727
[10:07] <adtiya_wifi> @ bonjoyee              does ubuntu 10.10 supports bcm4727 wifi
[10:08] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: can't tell..cause i dont use either...but the liveusb surely will
[10:09] <adtiya_wifi> @bonjoyee                    which version of ubtuntu u r currently using

[10:12] <amit> user3_uninfriendly:now what to do
[10:12] <amit> wyn: u there
[10:12] <Ileden> IShadowed: ok, boot to the live cd ubuntu.

[10:15] <PeterNL> I want to create a distro based on ubuntu server lts whith some specific server software and some specific tools and script pre-installed. How do i do that?
[10:15] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: then goto System > Administration >  Startup Disk Creator..and create a liveusb from the iso

[10:17] <gramm> So can someone help me fix this wireless problem ? please :)
[10:17] <Ileden> IShadowed: ok. so please tell what you see in the list of parititons. it should be something like /dev/sda1, NTFS, 80GiB or such?
[10:17] <adtiya_wifi> @bonjoyee    but i have already installed it what is the use of creating liveusb
[10:18] <amit> bonjoyee: i have installed some days ago ubuntu and uses entire disk for partition.now i want to make partition so i inserted live cd and opened gparted,now plz tell me how should i have to make partition
[10:18] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: i mean a live cd for 10.10!!
[10:18] <Metallico> hi guys, got a new sound card which works with ubuntu if I load it from the live CD, however it doesnt work on the ubuntu installation that was installed before the the card was installed. Is there any way to force ubuntu to redetect and reconfigure the sound hardware without resintalling?
[10:18] <IShadowed> Ileden: Sure, hold on
[10:18] <adtiya_wifi> @ bonjoyee ok
[10:18] <Ileden> IShadowed: the key questions are, are there more than one partitions, and is there "unallocated" space at bottom of the list
[10:18] <bonjoyee> amit: can please post a screenshot of gparted..?
[10:18] <Us3r_Unfriendly> is the guy in here still with the need to install ubuntu with a broken cd drive and no usb boot?
[10:19] <amit> bonjoyee:how to send screenshot
[10:19] <adtiya_wifi> @bonjoyee   DOes ubuntu 10.10 have BCM 4727 driver automatically installed
[10:19] <Us3r_Unfriendly> amit: www.imageshack.us
[10:19] <Inferus> adtiya_wifi its not hard to download the driver and put it on a usb stick? :-/
[10:19] <amit> bonjoyee:ok
[10:19] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: as i said i dont have  BCM 4727 nor do i use 10.10..u could try for urself!
[10:20] <rodzi> hello, i want to use a python package but the version which is on the repository is out of date, I've downloaded the good version on the website and i've runned the install script but it doesn't work. Can someone help me please ?
[10:20] <Ileden> amit: probably you need to click on the one partition, and choose Partition -> Resize. But thta's just a guess, don't do it if you aren't sure. BTW why do you want the second partition?
[10:20] <adtiya_wifi> @Bonjoyee  @inferus     I have been trying to install the driver since 1 week ......and now I am fed up of this
[10:21] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: also check the 10.04 install cd it contains something for bcm devices..have u installed that?
[10:21] <adtiya_wifi> yes
[10:21] <adtiya_wifi> still not working
[10:21] <amit> /dev/sda1  ext4     size454.04gib   used 17.71 gib    flags boot
[10:22] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: so your best bet is to try 10.10 liveusb..
[10:22] <adtiya_wifi> oh my god another installation
[10:22] <r00t4rd3d> adtiya_wifi, ur wifi is working now isnt it ?
[10:22] <adtiya_wifi> Not working
[10:23] <amit> /dev/sda2   extended   size 11.72gib  used -  flags -
[10:23] <paq7512> my ntfs-config is not launching
[10:23] <r00t4rd3d> didnt we get it working ?
[10:23] <amit> this is showing my gparted
[10:23] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: also check of theres a bios update for your machine, that fixed the issue for my cousins lappy..
[10:24] <nirazio> How to add a new user acc???
[10:24] <IShadowed> Ileden: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546216/
[10:24] <PeterNL> I want to create a distro based on ubuntu server lts whith some specific server software and some specific tools and script pre-installed. How do i do that? E.g. create my own iso with an installer which installs ubuntu server and some software I have written/patched/compiled/configured by myself
[10:24] <bonjoyee> amit: take a screenshot of your desktop..using App>Access.>take screenshot..and post that on some image host..
[10:24] <adtiya_wifi> @root4rd3d   yesterday you told me to install ubuntu 10.10 ........today i tried but my grub boot failed.......and i got stuck in grub rescue.......I am trying again ....waht to do if i Get grub rescue agin..........
[10:25] <bonjoyee> amit: like http://imgur.com
[10:26] <adtiya_wifi> @bonjoyee if it would have been BIOS problem then it would not have been working in win dows also I GUESS ????????
[10:26] <amit> bonjoyee:i take screenshot using prt scr  and uploded to imagehacks.us
[10:26] <bonjoyee> amit: ok
[10:26] <nirazio> How to add a new user acc???
[10:26] <r00t4rd3d> not sure about grub rescue
[10:27] <PeterNL> nirazio: adduser
[10:27] <bonjoyee> amit: wheres the link?
[10:27] <Ileden> IShadowed: right. So it seems the stuck&rebooted installation managed to do the partitioning. sda4 is a container for two partitoons, sda5 and sda5. sda5 is where ubuntu would live, and sda6 is a special "swap" partition linux uses for some memory management (it'll never contain data).
[10:27] <adtiya_wifi> anybody knows about grub rescue?????????????
[10:27] <amit> http://img814.imageshack.us/i/screenshotjwg.png/
[10:27] <IShadowed> Ileden: Okay, so what do I do?
[10:28] <amit> bonjoyee: do u get it
[10:28] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: if your so good at GUESSING ..u dont probably need help..I GUESS
[10:28] <adtiya_wifi> @bonjoyee    dont be so rude
[10:28] <amit> bonjoyee:http://img814.imageshack.us/i/screenshotjwg.png/
[10:29] <Ileden> IShadowed: But I'm not sure what sda2 is - prossibly some sort of system restore partition.... and sda3 is also weird... so because of these I can't exactly be sure what the situation is and I can't give a "perfect" suggestion.
[10:29] <IShadowed> joy.
[10:29] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: not being rude.. first u as for help..and then u dont follow what people suggest!
[10:29] <Ileden> IShadowed: that is, if you sustem gets more broken because of any actions, "not my fault" :)
[10:29] <bonjoyee> ask*
[10:30] <amit> bonjoyee:do u get screenshot
[10:30] <adtiya_wifi> @bonjoyeee I have tried everything availble on tnet
[10:30] <IShadowed> Ileden: :p if my system goes to ploop, then I'll just erase it all and load Ubuntu. But eh. I'd rather fix it.
[10:30] <bonjoyee> amit: yes..looking atm
[10:30] <Ileden> IShadowed: that said, what I would do, is remove the sda5, sda6 and then sda4 (the container). then try running ubuntu install again, see what it says
[10:30] <amit> bonjoyee: tell me plz how to make partiton
[10:30] <IShadowed> Ileden: Fair does
[10:31] <sebastiaan_> how can I change xorg.conf without x server?
[10:31] <bonjoyee> amit: what that extented partition for?
[10:31] <IShadowed> Ileden: Not letting me delete
[10:31] <Ileden> IShadowed: I'm (almost) certain that removing sda4 and it's contents is at least completely safe, if you've never had linux on the system (or don't want to preserve it if you've had)
[10:31] <Ileden> IShadowed: hm, is there an error message?
[10:32] <Ileden> IShadowed: try deleting sda6, then sda5, then sda4
[10:32] <amit> bonjoyee: linux swap
[10:32] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: im not telling u go and update your bios in a haste either;)
[10:32] <PeterNL> netsplit :X
[10:32] <PeterNL> !netsplit
[10:32] <amit> bonjoyee:/dev/sd5
[10:32] <bonjoyee> adtiya_wifi: but u should certainly try 10.10 liveusb
[10:33] <Ileden> IShadowed: safe, since the "ext4" and "linux-swap" are linux filesystems which windows wouldn't have any idea about anyways :)
[10:33] <adtiya_wifi> k bonjoyeee
[10:33] <fffu> is there a way to redice ubuntu unstallation size?? i'm running out of it
[10:33] <Us3r_Unfriendly> sweet!!  i just got face reconition login
[10:33] <bonjoyee> amit: i dont see that being used as swap?
[10:33] <PeterNL> fffu: remove packages you don't use
[10:33] <IShadowed> Ileden: Won't even let me try to delete sda6 nor sda4, but the error for sda5 is "Unable to delete /dev/sda5!; Please unmount any logical paritions having a number higher than 5" (and no, it's not letting me delete 6)
[10:33] <Us3r_Unfriendly> !info bleachbit | fffu
[10:33] <amit> bonjoyee:ok wait m sending other screenshot
[10:33] <fffu> lol i tried but I need MORE
[10:34] <aLemmer> Anyone know if I can get a DSL install going in Ubuntu Server without any GUI on the server?
[10:34] <Ileden> IShadowed: weird. it shouldn't be mounted (that means it
[10:34] <aLemmer> As in a DSL guest OS.
[10:34] <Ileden> IShadowed: weird. it shouldn't be mounted (mounted means it would be "in use")
[10:34] <IShadowed> joy.
[10:34] <sebastia> hi
[10:34] <mendax03> Hi sebastia, how are you today?
[10:34] <Ileden> IShadowed: try opening a terminal and type "mount" to see what's actually mounted
[10:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> fffu: get a external drive
[10:35] <PeterNL> aLemmer: yep, you can use VirtualBox to run a vm which works as a vnc server
[10:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> fffu: or delete unessary files
[10:35] <aLemmer> Peter, are there any guides to do this all via CLI? I can't find one that covers setting everything up from the ground-up.
[10:35] <IShadowed> Ileden: Uh, a lot
[10:35] <Ileden> IShadowed: what you want to see, if any line starts with /dev/sda5
[10:35] <bonjoyee> aLemmer: id say you install Vbox on the server and then forward X to your pc that has a gui
[10:36] <PeterNL> aLemmer: do you have a desktop machine with vbox?
[10:36] <pfui> aptitude is real slow on my pc (package installation, not downloads), any ideas?
[10:36] <tehbaut> Jordan_U / r00t4rd3d: so when I cranked open windows and tried to create a new folder, I got an interesting new error: "The volume is too fragmented to complete this operation" ...so I did a quick defragment on it, and that didn't fix it. Running chkdsk now...
[10:36] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tehbaut: windows?!
[10:36] <IShadowed> Ileden: No.
[10:36] <aLemmer> PeterNL: I have a desktop machine with Ubuntu Server.
[10:36] <Ileden> IShadowed: does any line start with /dev/sda[anything]?
[10:36] <IShadowed> no.
[10:37] <PeterNL> aLemmer: No X running I suppose...
[10:37] <IShadowed> Ileden: No.
[10:37] <amit> bonjoyee:http://img831.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1um.png/                       see this
[10:37] <fffu> the problem is I have no idea which unneded files on linux are and where to find them
[10:37] <tehbaut> Us3r_Unfriendly: yeah, I was having a problem in ubuntu with an ntfs formatted drive :P
[10:37] <tehbaut> s/was/am
[10:37] <r00t4rd3d> tehbaut, i hope you can chkdsk /f
[10:37] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tehbaut: ntfsprogs
[10:37] <Ileden> IShadowed: ok... so it's not mounted. but it woudn't be the first time an error message tells something wrong. :)
[10:37] <r00t4rd3d> the /f is for fix
[10:37] <tt> is there any chinese chatroom?
[10:37] <IShadowed> Ileden: oo...kay,,,
[10:37] <amit> bonjoyee: do u get it sir!
[10:37] <Ileden> IShadowed: what does it say when you try to delete sda6?
[10:38] <Us3r_Unfriendly> !cn | tt
[10:38] <aLemmer> PeterNL: That's right, no X running.
[10:38] <IShadowed> Ileden: There's not a delete option for sd6
[10:38] <IShadowed> sda6*]
[10:38] <IShadowed> So I can't even try
[10:38] <tt> Thank you
[10:38] <pfui> !ar
[10:38] <bonjoyee> amit: sir?
[10:38] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tt: no problem
[10:38] <pfui> i wanted arabic :S
[10:38] <pfui> !arabic
[10:38] <Ileden> IShadowed: oh... ok, hmm...
[10:38] <Us3r_Unfriendly> lol pfui
[10:38] <amit> bonjoyee: ya u have knowledege so i call u sir
[10:39] <IShadowed> Ileden: If it's relevant, there's a key-icon next to sda4 & 6, both of which there are no delete options
[10:39] <amit> bonjoyee: help me now i have send  that link
[10:39] <amit> bonjoyee:http://img831.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1um.png/
[10:39] <bonjoyee> amit: so u want u reduce /dev/sda1?
[10:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> aLemmer: what part of minnesota are you from...I saw that when you entered it said mn
[10:40] <amit> bonjoyee: ya i want to reduce it and want to make 3 0r 4 partition
[10:40] <PeterNL> aLemmer: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html#id2743893
[10:40] <Ileden> IShadowed: what options are available for sda6?
[10:40] <amit> bonjoyee: as i have partitoned in window
[10:41] <pfui> how long should i wait before repeating a question?
[10:41] <bonjoyee> amit: reducing is simple...but starting ubuntu later may not be.sure u want to do this?
[10:41] <Ileden> IShadowed: (weird, it should be able to be deleted, since nothing on the drive is being used...)
[10:41] <IShadowed> Ileden: "Swapoff", "Manage flags", "Information"
[10:41] <PeterNL> aLemmer: dunno if vrdp is available in the OSE edition
[10:41] <aditya_> @bonjoyee my wifi has started working finaalll .....I am so happy..................I have removed ndiswrapper package as  it was blacklisting my driver......thanks for ur time
[10:41] <amit> bonjoyee: don't understood
[10:41] <bonjoyee> aditya_: on 10.04?
[10:42] <aditya_> yes
[10:42] <Ileden> IShadowed: Hm, maybe the live cd somehow saw the swap partition, and decided to use it. Makes sorta sense, but dunno, I woudn't think it'd do that. Try "swapoff".
[10:42] <bonjoyee> aditya_: good for u?..great!!
[10:42] <amit> bonjoyee: is it gives any problem in starting
[10:42] <aditya_> the trouble was bcml-kernel-source and ndiswrapper were conflicting
[10:42] <aditya_> thanks bonjoyeee
[10:42] <bonjoyee> aditya_: and no hard feelings;)
[10:42] <aditya_> yep
[10:43] <PeterNL> aLemmer: the OSE version has a VNC server, the closed source vsreion has a RDP server. make your choice :)
[10:43] <pfui> aptitude is real slow on my pc (package installation, not downloads), any ideas?
[10:43] <PeterNL> pfui: slow connection?
[10:43] <IShadowed> Ileden: Yay it let me delete! Operations are pending, though, do I have to uh, initiate them?
[10:43] <amit> bonjoyee: plz solve my problem if it is safe to do this
[10:43] <Ileden> IShadowed: but it does sorta make sense, because swap doesn't contain any data, so it could be used by live cd just as well as an installation.
[10:43] <IShadowed> see above, Ileden
[10:43] <pfui> PeterNL: packages download fine, but installation takes forever
[10:43] <elitemike> Anyone know how i can make kubunut look just like backtrack?
[10:44] <tt> Is there any inputmethods to type in Siamese？？
[10:44] <Ileden> IShadowed: yes. "apply all operations" -button, on the right
[10:44] <bonjoyee> amit: what i mean is after u reduce the part..i cant guarantee the system will boot..but 99% all will be ok!
[10:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pfui: what happens when you do:    sudo aptitude reinstall aptitude?
[10:44] <PeterNL> pfui: slow processor? It's slow on my still-working P3 server :)
[10:44] <IShadowed> Ileden: Right, yeah, just found\
[10:44] <bonjoyee> amit: so if u have any important files..back them up!
[10:45] <pfui> PeterNL: naah, this is a core i3 with 4gbs of ram :]
[10:45] <IShadowed> Ileden: Okay, so now there are two unallocated areas. Anyways, what next?
[10:45] <pfui> Us3r_Unfriendly: went fine, nothing special
[10:45] <amit> bonjoye: what was the chance for sucess
[10:45] <Kingsy> ok, for some reason, ubuntu just completly crashed, I was minimizing a window and it totally stopped responding (the mouse was still moving however)
[10:45] <Dupont> \join #limsi
[10:45] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pfui: sudo apt-get install -reinstall aptitude
[10:45] <PeterNL> I want to create a distro based on ubuntu server lts whith some specific server software. I don't want a live cd, but I want to create my own iso with an installer which installs ubuntu server and some software I have written/patched/compiled/configured by myself
[10:45] <Kingsy> what should I do if this happens again? is there a crash out button? (like Ctrl Alt Del ) ?
[10:45] <amit> bonjoyee: if  it boots does there be any problem in future/
[10:45] <Valsacar> this is driving me crazy, all avi/mkv/etc randomly get out of sync (not always in the same place on a replay) and/or sound and/or video become choppy.  All files do it sooner or later, all video players I've tried, ran xine from terminal and no errors popped out, ubuntu 10.04
[10:45] <amit> ?
[10:45] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pfui: the sudo aptitude reinstall aptitude kinda was a joke
[10:46] <Ileden> IShadowed: Well, two opitons. 1) resize the sda1 to maximum, to excatly recreate the initial situation, and try install opiton "alongside" again.
[10:46] <elitemike> Anyone know how i can make kubunut look just like backtrack??
[10:46] <bonjoyee> amit: if it boots ..then it will always boot..no problems thereafter..
[10:46] <Ileden> IShadowed: 2) leave the space as unallocated, and see what ubuntu installation suggests.
[10:46] <Ileden> IShadowed: it should suggest something like "use free space on the drive for ubutnu"
[10:46] <Us3r_Unfriendly> elitemike: none of thoses are supported in here
[10:46] <bonjoyee> amit: im not scaring u ...just make sure u backup your data..if theres some important files
[10:47] <IShadowed> Ileden: I'll try 2 first, then one. Is there a need to reboot before trying to install, at the moment?
[10:47] <amit> bonjoyee; ok i will try tell me how to do coz if i didn't take risk i will never br going to learn
[10:47] <pfui> Us3r_Unfriendly: i'm not even sure the problem's with aptitude... dpkg -i bleh.deb is slow as well
[10:47] <Ileden> IShadowed: but I have no idea, maybe it'll just call that "installing alongside" as well. :)
[10:47] <Us3r_Unfriendly> elitemike: but you could download some of the packages that it has and then downloading the wallpaper
[10:47] <aLemmer> PeterNL: Mind if I PM you?
[10:47] <pfui> someone suggested i check my hosts file but there was nothing wrong with that
[10:47] <Ileden> IShadowed: Hmm. Good question. I don't see any reason for reboot, but hey, why not :P
[10:47] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pfui: hace you updated the system yet?
[10:47] <PeterNL> aLemmer: go ahead :)
[10:47] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pfui: *have
[10:47] <bonjoyee> amit: click edit..and tell me what options are there..
[10:47] <Ileden> IShadowed: at least close gparted :)
[10:48] <IShadowed> indeed
[10:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i can't spell with this cat in my face
[10:48] <pfui> Us3r_Unfriendly: yes
[10:48] <amit> bonjoyee: there are three options but they are  in freezing mode means that  they are not avavilable for click
[10:48] <lighting> I'm using an old version of ubuntu (7,04) and i'm trying access youtube videos... what must have installed to see videos?
[10:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pfui: was it slow before?
[10:48] <IShadowed> Ileden: Nah, only options were to erase or manually parition
[10:49] <bonjoyee> amit: wait ..im starting 10.10 in Virtualbox..
[10:49] <amit> bonjoyee:ok
[10:50] <bonjoyee> amit: also ..dont kill me..if this does not work:)
[10:50] <pfui> Us3r_Unfriendly: yep, it's a fresh install
[10:50] <Ileden> IShadowed: well, you're pretty far into partitioning already, so you could jsut manually partition... but you can try option 2 too. (a slighly bigger chance of messing up the Win system)
[10:50] <amit> bonjoyee: on right click on /dev/sda 1 there come resize/move option
[10:50] <pfui> Us3r_Unfriendly: assuming you meant "before the upgrade"
[10:50] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pfui: yes
[10:50] <Ileden> IShadowed: I meant option 1.
[10:51] <IShadowed> Ileden: Option 2 has a larger chance of messing up Win7? O-o
[10:51] <Us3r_Unfriendly> pfui: call me crazy, or could this be due to hardware issues with the kernel?
[10:51] <bonjoyee> amit: click resize/move
[10:51] <pfui> Us3r_Unfriendly: ok, you're crazy.
[10:51] <Ileden> IShadowed: I mean my pervious option 1, resizing the Win partition to max with gparted.
[10:51] <amit> bonjoyee: i clicked
[10:51] <IShadowed> Ileden: Er, I meant op. 1 too
[10:51] <amit> bonjoyee: then
[10:51] <pfui> Us3r_Unfriendly: but apt/dpkg seems to be the only affected piece of software. everything else runs fine
[10:51] <Ileden> IShadowed: and yes, it has higher risk, since it involves editing the win7 partition. I'd consider it safe myself, though.
[10:52] <red> Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 10.4 server, and the php5-gd package is 2.0, I need 2.0.88 for a certain script and was wondering how should I install the new version?
[10:52] <Ileden> IShadowed: just, I don't want to say anything's ever 100% safe :)
[10:52] <IShadowed> Ileden: indeed
[10:53] <bonjoyee> amit: in "new size" enter the new size u want..in MB
[10:53] <ddhuyvet> I get errors that there's no space on my system, but when I run Disk Usage Analyzer it says there's 74 GB available
[10:53] <amit> bonjopyee:ok
[10:53] <ddhuyvet> Any help on this is appreciated
[10:53] <Kingsy> can anyone help me with my issue?
[10:53] <Ileden> IShadowed: manually partitioning would involve creating the three partitions you saw before, and assigning sda5 to mount point called "/"
[10:53] <bonjoyee> amit: how much u want for ubuntu?
[10:54] <amit> bonjoyee: i want 4 partiton
[10:54] <IShadowed> Ileden: ...great
[10:54] <IShadowed> Ileden: No idea how to do that
[10:54] <Caelum> what package has the color scheme for gnome-terminal in ubuntu? I need that color scheme
[10:54] <bonjoyee> amit: how much for ubuntu 20 gb?
[10:55] <amit> bonjoyee:my system has only ubuntu os not any other,for ubuntu i want 30gb
[10:55] <Ileden> IShadowed: well, it's not that complicated, you seem like someone who's got his/her wits together anyway. The "manually partition" opition give you a simple partition editor to do the partitioning with. but it's still easier to go resize the sda1 to max.
[10:55] <PeterNL> I want to create a distro based on ubuntu server lts whith some specific server software. I don't want a live cd, but I want to create my own iso with an installer which installs ubuntu server and some software I have written/patched/compiled/configured by myself. How do I build my own ubuntu server installer?
[10:55] <bonjoyee> amit: so in new size ..enter 30720
[10:55] <amit> ok
[10:56] <IShadowed> Ileden: Great, then how do I resize sda1 to max?
[10:56] <Gigacore> guys am not able to perform sudo apt-get install and updates.. am getting this error - Temporary failure resolving "us.archieve.ubuntu.com" and it says few packages can't be downloaded
[10:56] <bonjoyee> amit: then just click in the box .." free space following"
[10:56] <Gigacore> on Ubuntu 10.04
[10:56] <Ileden> IShadowed: well, open gparted, and then right click on sda1, and choose "resize" :)
[10:57] <Caelum> Gigacore: you have a typo in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:57] <sylow> Hi, I'm trying to get eAccelerator caching work on my PHP installation, but it's CGI and I need to have a DSO. Anyone knows what package or setup procedure I need for this?
[10:57] <dodo71> hello my ethernet is not responding
[10:57] <IShadowed_> Ileden: back, you were saying?
[10:57] <nirazio> I found out that dbus-daemon takes from 10% to 30% of my RAM. How can I fix this issue?
[10:57] <bonjoyee> amit: now click resize/move..and post the screenshot of new arrangement
[10:57] <Gigacore> Callum__: can you give some source URIs for 10.04?
[10:57] <amit> bonjoyee: writing not working i have to       scrool it for incresing size
[10:58] <amit> ok
[10:58] <Ileden> IShadowed: open gparted, and then right click on sda1, and choose "resize"
[10:58] <dodo71> hello my ethernet is not responding
[10:58] <Caelum> Gigacore: did you edit that file yourself? or was that a typo in what you were typing?
[10:59] <Gigacore> Caelum: I've done nothing, I just made a fresh installation on my VPS
[10:59] <Caelum> Gigacore: check your /etc/resolv.conf
[10:59] <bonjoyee> amit: what happened?
[10:59] <amit> bonjoyee; m increasing size to 30gb by scrooling
[10:59] <Caelum> Gigacore: check that you can resolve hosts with hosts and ping
[11:00] <Caelum> err host
[11:00] <bonjoyee> amit: post a screenhost before applying the changes!
[11:00] <amit> ok
[11:00] <Gigacore> Caelum: my resolv.conf is empty!
[11:00] <Caelum> Gigacore: ok, put your DNS server in there, like this: "nameserver 192.168.1.1"
[11:02] <dodo71> hello my ethernet is not responding
[11:02] <Caelum> dodo71: what do you mean by not responding
[11:02] <Ileden> dodo71: ehm... maybe bit more details?
[11:02] <dodo71> it does not seem to be working
[11:02] <IShadowed> Ileden: So... what values do I fill in, and where?
[11:02] <dodo71> at least that is what the firewall said
[11:03] <Gigacore> Caelum: will do and check it.. thanks
[11:03] <dodo71> the firestarter firewall does not start
[11:03] <dodo71> it sais the eth0 device is not ready
[11:03] <bonjoyee> amit: ?
[11:03] <Caelum> dodo71: what does ifconfig say
[11:04] <amit> bonjoyee; m taking screenshot
[11:04] <paq7512> what else do i need for ntfs-config to work?
[11:04] <paq7512> it is not opening
[11:05] <dodo71> caelum can you get me in private chat?
[11:05] <Ileden> IShadowed: maximize the "new size", and keep "free space following" and "free space beginnign" at minimum (0)
[11:05] <dodo71> i cant copy paste here it will flood
[11:05] <rs0832> dodo71, use the pastebin
[11:05] <rs0832> dodo71, paste.ubuntu.com
[11:06] <Ileden> IShadowed: or just grab the black arrows in the diagram with you mouse, and drag them to extremes in left and right, same thing
[11:06] <IShadowed> Ileden: There's "Free space, preceding" and "free, space, following"
[11:06] <sebastia> bye
[11:06] <amit> bonjoyee:http://img510.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2kf.png/
[11:07] <amit> bonjoyee: do u get it?
[11:07] <bonjoyee> amit: thats fine..go ahead
[11:07] <amit> http://img510.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2kf.png/
[11:07] <amit> bonjoyee:should i click on resize button
[11:07] <Ileden> IShadowed: both of thse to 0
[11:07] <bonjoyee> amit: yes
[11:07] <dodo71> http://dpaste.com/288962/
[11:08] <amit> bonjoyee: now
[11:08] <dodo71> http://dpaste.com/288962/
[11:08] <bonjoyee> amit: then click the green "correct" mark
[11:09] <amit> bonjoyee: m clicked it is working to resize :      there makes unlocatted space also now in option
[11:09] <IShadowed> Ileden: Yay! It worked. So uh, in the "allocating drive space" for installing next to an existing OS, the default for Ubuntu is 3.5GB, and Windows Vista (loader) at 9.1GB. Are bad things going to happen if I give Ubuntu more space?
[11:10] <amit> bonjoyee: it is shrinking to 30 gb
[11:10] <bonjoyee> amit: leave that unallocated space..u can do whatever u want later with it..
[11:10] <Ileden> IShadowed: no, only means Windows will have less space for itself.
[11:10] <IShadowed> cool.
[11:10] <Caelum> dodo71: so you are using wifi, you need to tell the firewall software to use wlan0 as your interface
[11:11] <bonjoyee> amit: after shrinking...try to reboot into your ubuntu!!
[11:11] <amit> bonjoyee: resizing takes long  time?
[11:11] <amit> ok
[11:11] <bonjoyee> amit: no
[11:12] <dodo71> my ethernet device not working
[11:12] <dodo71> hello
[11:12] <Caelum> dodo71: did you see what I said
[11:12] <dodo71> check ifconfig
[11:12] <Caelum> dodo71: so you are using wifi, you need to tell the firewall software to use wlan0 as your interface
[11:12] <Ileden> dodo71: explain the problem in more detail
[11:12] <dodo71> eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:23:ae:2c:ce:cd             UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000            RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)           Interrupt:18   lo        Link encap:Local Loopback             inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0       
[11:12] <amit> bonjoyee: shrinking says that depends on the ammount and type of operatioon that might takes a long time
[11:13] <dodo71> the firestarter does not start
[11:13] <IShadowed> Ileden: Do you know what -101/104 key compatible means for keyboard layouts?
[11:13] <amit> bonjoyee: if it works can i make other partition like this
[11:13] <amit> bonjoyee: or can i make partition without live cd then
[11:13] <dodo71> firestrter: the device ethernet is not ready
[11:13] <Ileden> IShadowed: no idea. I use Finnish keyboard layout myself, no such options there :)
[11:14] <Caelum> dodo71: because your device is wlan0 not eth0
[11:14] <IShadowed> Ileden: Ah, so you can switch back and forth?
[11:14] <amit> bonjoyee: operation complete it is asking where to save in root or filesystem
[11:14] <dodo71> how do i start the firestarter?
[11:14] <Caelum> dodo71: why do you need a firewall if you have a router
[11:14] <dodo71> what do i use for firewall?
[11:14] <Caelum> dodo71: your router is your firewall
[11:15] <Ileden> IShadowed: yes, you can change the layout from ubuntu settings afterwards
[11:15] <amit> bonjoyee: it is also asking to change name
[11:15] <amit> bonjoyee:?
[11:15] <AdvoWork`> is there a way to get an ip of a windows machine, if i know the computer name and work group? its on the same network
[11:15] <Ileden> IShadowed: system->preferences->keyboard->layouts
[11:15] <dodo71> can i not start the firestarter with wireless?
[11:16] <IShadowed> Ileden: Fun
[11:16] <korben> hello
[11:16] <korben> ;-)
[11:16] <dodo71> can i not start the firestarter with wireless?
[11:16] <era878> how can I put super grub2 disk on a usb drive?
[11:16] <Caelum> AdvoWork`: nmblookup
[11:16] <Caelum> dodo71: you can, you will have to read the documentation for it to see how to do that
[11:16] <amit> bonjoyee; what should i do plz teel me
[11:16] <era878> anybody?
[11:17] <Caelum> era878: the same way you would put it on any other type of disk
[11:17] <iflema> era878: ya use grub2 :P
[11:18] <era878> Caelum, how can i install an .iso to a usb?
[11:18] <IShadowed> Ileden: Gah, i had this problem last time I loaded Ubuntu onto a computer; it won't let me advance on the "Who are you?" page, even though the passwords match etc etc
[11:18] <Jordan_U> era878: If you don't mind overwriting everything currently on the drive you can use dd.
[11:18] <Ileden> IShadowed: it won't let you advance? any error messages?
[11:18] <daweed> hi, i've got a problem... my computer won't launch grub. it can't find the disk to mount....
[11:18] <gsb> how can i stop "apt-get dist-upgrade" from upgrading my kernel? i am using a more latest version of kernel.
[11:18] <Caelum> dodo71: you can also try "sudo ifconfig eth0 down"
[11:18] <llutz_> era878: if it is a hybrid-iso, just "dd" it to your usb-drive. but be carefull, it erases the whole drive
[11:18] <IShadowed> Ileden: never mind, apparently it doesn't allow any caps 9.9
[11:19] <era878> Jordan_U, where can i get dd
[11:19] <Ileden> IShadowed: that's weird... my password always have some caps, and it's let me trhough on every install
[11:19] <amit> bonjoyee: it shows the name gparted_details, i want to change this name tell me what should i give name
[11:19] <IShadowed> heh
[11:19] <Caelum> gsb: just configure grub to use your kernel as the default
[11:19] <era878> illutz_, how can i dd?
[11:20] <Jordan_U> era878: It comes by default with Ubuntu (and any other Unix like OS), but it's terminal based.
[11:20] <Caelum> does anyone know what file has the ubuntu gnome-terminal color scheme
[11:20] <llutz_> era878: sudo dd if=yourfile.iso of=/dev/<your-usb-drive>
[11:20] <era878> Jordan_U: what do i type into terminal, is there a tutorial somewhere?
[11:20] <AdvoWork`> Caelum, trying: nmblookup -netbiosname=computername yet it doesnt do anything, just shows me more options?
[11:20] <reenignEesreveR> how can i upgrade my NetworkManager to 0.8.1 in lucid?
[11:20] <dobblego> what is the latest version of ubuntu that has thunderbird in the repository?
[11:21] <era878> llutz_:thanks
[11:21] <Jordan_U> era878: First, you need to figure out the device name of your USB drive. This is *very* important as whatever device we pass to dd will be erased, you don't want it to be your internal drive by accident.
[11:21] <gsb> Caelum: thats nice idea, i can do that as last resort, but can I stop apt-get to download 46 MB of stuff which would be of no use?
[11:21] <Caelum> AdvoWork`: nmblookup -W WORKGROUP COMPNAME
[11:21] <llutz_> era878: make sure to give correct pathes, dd won'ask and just overwrites all
[11:21] <nirazio> How to delete all files that are returned by locate??
[11:21] <dobblego> nirazio, | xargs rm
[11:22] <Jordan_U> era878: Is there a particular feature of Super GRUB2 Disk you want for the USB drive, or do you want all of them?
[11:22] <Caelum> gsb: not easily no, unless it's upgrading a package, in which case you can just put it on hold with "sudo aptitude hold <pkg>"
[11:23] <era878> Jordan_U, I need to boot my external HDD that has ubuntu 10.10 on multiple computers
[11:23] <erUSUL> dobblego: locate --null ... | xargs -0 rm
[11:23] <AdvoWork`> Caelum, tried: nmblookup -W WORKGROUP xw8200-20JKP and it says: querying xw8200-20JKP on 192.168.0.255 name_query failed to find name xw8200-20JKP  any further suggestions please?
[11:23] <gsb> Caelum: yes its upgrading the kernel, i will look into hold option. thanks :)
[11:23] <Jordan_U> era878: You don't need Super GRUB2 Disk for that.
[11:24] <Caelum> AdvoWork`: are you on a domain?
[11:24] <amit> hi
[11:24] <era878> Jordan_U: but when I plug in my external HDD into any other computer it wont boot
[11:24] <amit> bonjoyee: my system reeboots
[11:24] <AdvoWork`> Caelum, yeah iam
[11:25] <amit> wyn: u there?
[11:25] <Caelum> AdvoWork`: then I think you need to configure your smb.conf properly and put your domain server in it
[11:26] <Jordan_U> era878: While booted from the USB system can you run this in a terminal "mount; ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/; debconf-show grub-pc" and use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com to give a link to the output?
[11:26] <Caelum> AdvoWork`: otherwise it does a broadcast, which may or may not work, it will definitely not work if the windows machine is on another network
[11:26] <era878> okay
[11:27] <sebastiaan_> can I just add an option line in  my screen section of my xorg.nf?
[11:28] <Caelum> AdvoWork`: you may not be able to join the domain though...that's often non-trivial
[11:28] <sebastiaan_> something like: Option    "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0"
[11:29] <Ileden> Hi! What should I do to diagnose WLAN connectivity trouble? (other than measuring times and packetlosses with ping)
[11:29] <nirazio> dobblego: Why not rm -R
[11:29] <nirazio> dobblego: Why not rm -R ???
[11:29] <dobblego> nirazio, as you choose
[11:29] <sebastiaan_> I want to force my xorg.conf too use a certain resolutionn
[11:29] <Caelum> Ileden: you can check signal strength with iwconfig
[11:29] <nirazio> dobblego: What's the difference??
[11:29] <dobblego> nirazio, man rm
[11:30] <amit> hi i want to create new partition as i have only one that was of boot  i use gparted now what should i write in label option
[11:30] <Ileden> Caelum: thanks. Shouldn't be a problem with signal strength, though, but good to know.
[11:30] <amit> plz help
[11:30] <Ileden> Caelum: what other info in ifconfig is useful?
[11:31] <era878> Jordan_U, I have to turn off my computer to boot from the usb, ill be back
[11:31] <Caelum> Ileden: iwconfig, not ifconfig, what problems are you having
[11:31] <Ileden> Caelum: oh, typo out of being too used to typing ifconfig :D
[11:31] <amit> can we use various extension to create drives in different partition
[11:32] <Caelum> Ileden: if you have packet loss then it's either poor signal or interference
[11:32] <IShadowed> Ileden: Yay, it all works
[11:32] <IShadowed> thanks again
[11:32] <Ileden> Caelum: weird problems. the wlan connects to network pretty randomly, sometime with ok connection, sometimes with 50% packet loss...
[11:32] <Caelum> Ileden: that means interference
[11:32] <Ileden> IShadowed: nice to know, thanks!
[11:32] <amit> what is difference between ext2 ext3 or ext 4
[11:32] <Caelum> Ileden: try another channel on your router, every 3 channels is a different frequency
[11:33] <Ileden> Caelum: also, the connection seems to work always with win7 (I'm dualbooting)
[11:33] <erUSUL> amit: time; an we can assume progress is made with time.
[11:33] <Daekdroom> amit, ext4 is the newest and safest one
[11:33] <Ileden> Caelum: and wlan works at workplace on both linux and win.
[11:33] <amit> erUsul: so i have to use ext4
[11:34] <erUSUL> amit: you should yes; unless you have a very good reason not to.
[11:34] <Ileden> Caelum: Thanks, I'll try to find channel setting from my router settings once I get back to home.
[11:34] <amit> Daekdroom:and what should i write in label
[11:34] <Caelum> Ileden: if the windows driver is much better, you can always try ndiswrapper instead of the native linux driver
[11:34] <Daekdroom> amit, label is the partition's name.
[11:34] <amit> erUSUL: CAN I USE EXT4 FOR ALL PARTITIONS
[11:34] <erUSUL> amit: yes ( drop the caps please )
[11:35] <oedsch> hi all :)
[11:35] <blackshirt> hi oedich..
[11:35] <blackshirt> :d
[11:35] <blackshirt> erUSUL: yes..exactly
[11:35] <oedsch> long tome no irc...
[11:35] <Ileden> Caelum: ndiswrapper, so that uses windows drivers instead of linux?
[11:35] <limer> I'm not able to ping any other (windows) hosts from ubuntu server.  shouldn't nmbd be found via locate or in dpkg -l?
[11:35] <Caelum> Ileden: yup
[11:35] <Ileden> Caelum: I'll google it, thanks.
[11:36] <oedsch> got a problem with installation of 10.10.. some can help?
[11:36] <Caelum> Ileden: when you are at home, do a site survey with "iwlist wlan0 scanning"
[11:36] <amit> erUSUL: is label is same as drive in windows
[11:36] <Caelum> Ileden: see what channels other routers are using
[11:37] <amit> Daekdroom:is label is same like as drives in window?
[11:37] <Ileden> Caelum: so does that list all the routers i'm able to hear?
[11:37] <erUSUL> amit: you mean drive letter?
[11:37] <Caelum> Ileden: correct
[11:37] <sosaited> Is ntfs-3g used to mount NTFS partitions in Nautilus? in Lucid and Maverick
[11:37] <Caelum> Ileden: unless they don't broadcast SSID, but most do
[11:37] <Ileden> Caelum: interesting. Thanks!
[11:37] <blackshirt> sosaited: yes
[11:37] <Daekdroom> amit, it's the driver's name
[11:37] <zwox> hi there
[11:38] <Daekdroom> *drives
[11:38] <amit> erUSUL: suppose i make the partition size of 30 gb and i want to put  s/w in it so i want to take this  name software is it right?
[11:38] <erUSUL> amit: Label is a name for the partition. you can later use that name in a few situations ( fstab; mount ; /dev/disk/by-label/ etc )
[11:38] <blackshirt> zwox: hi
[11:38] <erUSUL> amit: yes you can name a partition software if you want
[11:38] <sosaited> blackshirt: I am having a slow speed copying problem in 10.04 and 10.10 (Which I didn't have in 9.10). It most probably is caused by ntfs-3g right?
[11:38] <amit> erUSUL:thanx for helping so much , m new using ubuntu
[11:39] <erUSUL> amit: no problem
[11:39] <zwox> something really bothering me, in alternate installation, when several network interface are available, how can you specify which one you wanna use
[11:39] <zwox> ?
[11:39] <bonjoyee> amit: u here?
[11:39] <dobblego> is there any currently supported version of ubuntu that has thunderbird 2 in the repository?
[11:39] <amit> erUSUL: what is primary partition logical and extended?
[11:39] <pa> hi
[11:39] <limer> I'm not able to ping any other (windows) hosts from ubuntu server.  shouldn't nmbd be found via locate or in dpkg -l?
[11:39] <amit> ya bonjoyee: thanx  it worked
[11:39] <pa> does ubuntu postfix includes sqlite support?
[11:40] <nirazio> How to download a specific filetype from a website using wget??For example png format...
[11:40] <blackshirt> sosaited: maybe..but i don't have problem like that when i copy files from and to ntfs partitions
[11:40] <amit> bonjoyee: it works thanx alot
[11:40] <oedsch> i got a installatiation problem here.. :( in fact, i cant install it.. it crashes before it even starts ... tried the alternate cd too, same crash, but the screen is blue.. with a grey bar at the bottom
[11:40] <erUSUL> amit: a disk with a msdos stylepartition table can have only four primary partitions. you can use one of this four to be a extended partition which in turn can hold 64 logical partitions
[11:40] <bonjoyee> amit: thats great..i had internet issues..hence got disconnected...my crap isp!!
[11:40] <zwox> this is really anoying because dhcp request failed as there is only one interface which is declared on dhcp server
[11:40] <zwox> and vmps
[11:40] <blackshirt> nirazio: i think, pass url completely to wget
[11:41] <monzo> nirazio: wget http::/ffo.bar/pic.png
[11:41] <PeterNL> http://, not http::/
[11:42] <nirazio> monzo: Not that i am asking..For example i want to download all wallpapers from a site using wget..How???
[11:42] <sosaited> blackshirt: I didn't have the problem in my personal computer either. But this is someone else's old laptop with old drive. But the Disk Utility benchmark shows higher speeds (~30MB) while it copies at 4MB
[11:42] <monzo> nirazio: man wget, there are loads of options, with examples in there

[11:45] <zwox> well, seems nobody can help, so here's another one, can someone told me what to add to append line to boot alternate instaler in expert mode please ?
[11:45] <blackshirt> sosaited:  i think the problems not on your ntfs-3g
[11:45] <monzo> nirazio: at least use -nc (== --no-clobber), that is the friendly way of doing a wget and keeps the disk empty
[11:45] <zwox> tell* me, sorry
[11:45] <AdvoWork`> Caelum, how do you mean does a broadcast?
[11:45] <blackshirt> zwox: pass it on kernel line
[11:46] <zwox> blackshirt: juste adding expert ?
[11:46] <amit> hi one  question after every partition some unlocatted space 1mb or 2mb is left what was that
[11:46] <rigved> zwox: or you can press F6 and select "Expert Mode" from the list
[11:46] <zwox> rigved: i can't because i boot from pxe with only intird and linux loaded
[11:47] <zwox> so i have to pass it on kernel command line
[11:47] <Ileden> rigved: that only allows assigning keys to commands, not other keys
[11:47] <sosaited> blackshirt: Then?
[11:47] <blackshirt> zwox: yes..
[11:48] <rigved> amit: the hard disk is divided into small fixed sized blocks. when the entire HDD space is not a multiples of that small size, it gets left out
[11:48] <sebastiaan_> graphics driver problem
[11:48] <sebastiaan_> radeon hd 5670
[11:48] <zwox> wait and see
[11:48] <rigved> amit: the small 1or 2 MB
[11:48] <zwox> thank you anyway
[11:48] <amit> rigved: so if i make 4 partition it makes 4 different unlocatted spaces
[11:49] <Kingsy101> ok this is p*ssing me off. twice now ubuntu has just completly stopped responding, totally paused, I can move the mouse but I cant click anything no keys work..
[11:49] <blackshirt> sosaited: is it very slow ?? maybe the old drive problem >
[11:49] <Kingsy101> what do you do in that situation??
[11:49] <rigved> amit: if you make them all at the same time, then only one unallocated space will be created (the four will get merged)
[11:50] <sebastiaan_> monitor tells "not supported"
[11:50] <coz_> Kingsy101,  out of curiosity...which video card and driver version?
[11:50] <burhan> where are the termcap settings in ubuntu?
[11:50] <amit> rigved:any way to merge them
[11:51] <Kingsy101> coz_ - its a nvidia geforce 210   and I don't know the driver.. i didnt install one
[11:51] <Kingsy101> coz_ - it just seemed to *work*
[11:51] <rigved> amit: use gparted or something and partition them into one. but they'll still be as much physically separated as they were earlier
[11:52] <sebastiaan_> installed proprietary driver and monitor tells "not supported" radeon hd 5670 graphics card, monitor is a TV
[11:52] <sebastiaan_> what to do?
[11:52] <coz_> Kingsy101,  mm  oh ok... well if you didnt use  /system/administration/additional drivers to install the nvidia driver you are using nouveau  < the default driver for it
[11:52] <tnm> anybody knows what is wrong, i get the error in virtualbox: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device. I also tried odprobe vboxvfs and i get error:  FATAL: Module vboxvfs not found.
[11:53] <coz_> Kingsy101,   what are you doing just before this occurs?
[11:53] <bonjoyee> sebastiaan_: your pc is producing a video thats beyond the capability of your tv..
[11:53] <erUSUL> burhan: "man 5 termcap"
[11:54] <bonjoyee> sebastiaan_: whats the max resolution supported by your tv?
[11:54] <coz_> Kingsy101,   if you do install the driver ...use the   nvidia-current  and then reboot the system once its installed
[11:54] <burhan> erUSUL: the file mentioned there /etc/termcap doesn't exist, hence psql doesn't work. "psql cannot read termcap database"
[11:55] <heyguise> hey guys, Im trying to make a custom usb bootable with certain programs pre installed. Can some one link me to some documentation that can help me?
[11:56] <PeterNL> I want to create a distro based on ubuntu server lts whith some specific server software. I don't want a live cd, but I want to create my own iso with an installer which installs ubuntu server and some software I have written/patched/compiled/configured by myself. How do I build my own ubuntu server installer?
[11:56] <Caelum> heyguise: just boot the live cd and install to the usb stick
[11:56] <erUSUL> !find /etc/termcap
[11:56] <erUSUL> o.0
[11:56] <Caelum> heyguise: boot in the "try ubuntu" mode then choose "install ubuntu" from System->Administration
[11:57] <bonjoyee> !find /usr/bin/time
[11:57] <LSEactuary> is this safe to install? http://www.themebin.com/windows-7-themes/snow-leopard-windows-7-theme/ ive just installed MS7 and dont want it to crash or anything! lol
[11:57] <tavasti> I have problem with ubuntu 10.04 slapd: syncrepl client sends 0 length certificate when negotiating tls with master slapd.
[11:57] <heyguise> Caelum, thats not exaclly what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to set up a usb bootable version of ubuntu with a few certain programs preinstalled for that boot.
[11:57] <heyguise> like I want to be able to boot from usb and have for example python allready installed
[11:57] <bazhang> LSEactuary, on windows?
[11:57] <rigved> LSEactuary: that a question for #windows
[11:57] <PeterNL> LSEactuary: that's for windows. This is #ubuntu
[11:57] <Ileden> LSEactuary: um, isn't that a windows problem?
[11:58] <Caelum> heyguise: yes, I just told you how to do that
[11:58] <erUSUL> burhan: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2009-06/msg00041.html
[11:58] <LSEactuary> oh - how do i connect to windows?
[11:58] <heyguise> ohh
[11:58] <sebastiaan_> bonjoyee: I do not know
[11:58] <Caelum> heyguise: install ubuntu to the usb stick, then install whatever you want
[11:58] <bazhang>  /join ##windows
[11:58] <heyguise> cool
[11:58] <heyguise> thanks caelum,
[11:58] <LSEactuary> thanks
[11:58] <heyguise> :)
[11:58] <bonjoyee> sebastiaan_: what type of tv is this?
[11:58] <PeterNL> How do I create a custom ubuntu server install cd/dvd
[11:58] <zwox> the command to add is not expert but priority=low
[11:58] <rigved> Ileden: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=106209
[11:59] <Caelum> heyguise: choose manual partitioning and don't make a swap partition, swap on a usb stick is counterproductive
[11:59] <sebastiaan_> pretty new (4years old flatscreen) samsung
[11:59] <bazhang> !remaster > PeterNL
[11:59] <erUSUL> burhan: maybe there is a way to tell the program to use terminfo instead of termcap
[12:00] <PeterNL> bazhang: That's only for live cd's, isn't it? I wanta text based installer.
[12:00] <Benkinooby> hi, i don't know if this is the appropiate channel for this, so please redirekt me in case you knwo better. i want to download/copy/save what can be heard on http://oe1.orf.at/konsole?show=ondemand&track_id=261873&load_day=/programm/konsole/tag/20101216 it's an austrian radio station.
[12:01] <bazhang> PeterNL, then get the minimal iso, build on top of that and use something like remastersys to create a bootable/installable iso
[12:01] <PeterNL> remastersys. Okay, will lok into that
[12:01] <PeterNL> look*
[12:01] <bazhang> PeterNL, minimal iso is very small only around 20mb
[12:02] <maco> bazhang: i thought it was 11
[12:02] <richard123> hi, problem with updates. have copied sources.list file from working machine also running 10.10 but still does not work, something to do with not being able to find any suitable server according to 'select best server'?
[12:02] <PeterNL> I am already working on my install in a VM, based on the server cd. The result won't fit on a cd anyway, so I'll create a dvd image instead :)
[12:02] <bazhang> maco, perhaps with maverick it went back down, it was around 20 with lucid iirc
[12:02] <maco> bazhang: wow
[12:03] <dima> hello
[12:03] <Ileden> rigved: very interesting! However, that still seems to leave me hanging, as I'd like to assing a key combo (ctrl-up) to another key (pageup)
[12:03] <richard123> can anyone help please?
[12:03] <Ileden> rigved: but I'm researching the issue
[12:04] <Benkinooby> i was able to achive what i wanted to do. no further investigation needed.
[12:04] <rigved> Ileden: doesn;t that thread talk about combo keys?
[12:04] <rigved> Ileden: i'll check
[12:05] <Ileden> rigved: doesn't seem like it.

[12:07] <grandrew> hi! is it possible to create a RAID-1 using a partition that already has the needed data on an ordinary ext3? or do I have to copy everything, then create raid, format it and copy back?

[12:19] <PeterNL> bazhang: afaics remastersys also creates livecd's, but I really need to make a text-based installer, like ubuntu server has.
[12:19] <Ileden> fffu: xmodmap is a simple command line tool for remapping keys, and for many uses nearly perfect?
[12:20] <fffu> Ileden, can xmodmap map the AltGR key?
[12:20] <Ileden> fffu: seems it can.
[12:21] <fffu> Ileden, nope
[12:21] <Guest813> hey sry but i hade problems with ubuntu 10.10 and the server told me to come here:so as iwas syng ive got the situation that ubuntu 10.10 haz problems of runnyng in low graphics mode ,detectyng no drivers,and not changyng sessions

[12:25] <Guest813> my desktop looks like its from the cevtime
[12:25] <UnholyTerror> Guest813, i'm asking you, what is the system/gfx hardware?
[12:25] <fffu> Ileden, LOL, it's altgr key itself, and altgr+some key combination needs to be set
[12:25] <helpmeat> how would you change the default background image of the gdm login screen? i know tons of bad instructions on the net and now i wonder how would you manage this requirement?
[12:26] <fffu> helpmeat, via gconf for gdm user profile
[12:26] <helpmeat> ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx2.6.32-26-generic
[12:26] <Ileden> fffu: uh, yes? and you asked to remap the AltGR key?
[12:26] <UnholyTerror> Guest813, what kind of computer is it?
[12:26] <kristjan_> can someone recommend me ppa with latest proprietary ati drivers for maverick? AFAIK Maverick does not come with latest ati drivers
[12:26] <Guest813> hitachi HTS54321 sry its just tht im new and in trainyng by a friend
[12:26] <erUSUL> fruitwerks_web: /join #ubuntu-ops
[12:27] <Guest813> its an acer spire on netbook
[12:27] <Guest813> sry i mean acer aspire one
[12:27] <helpmeat> fffu: that sound good, BUT No command 'gconf' found, did you mean: dconf,qconf
[12:27] <User855> hi
[12:28] <erUSUL> kristjan_: x-updates ppa?
[12:28] <erUSUL> !ppa > kristjan_
[12:28] <maco> helpmeat: gconf-editor is the tool to edit gconf values
[12:28] <fffu> helpmeat, gconftool-2
[12:28] <maco> helpmeat: ok either of those. gconf-editor has a gui
[12:28] <amit_> i made 2 new  partiton naming as music and software  both are primary and i used ext4 , after then i proceed for the new partiton it says no more than4 primary partition firstly change it to extended might delete primary one
[12:28] <UnholyTerror> Guest813, is there a model number?
[12:29] <erUSUL> kristjan_: dunno; check yourself. there is also x-edgers but this one is way more unstable so you really need to know what you are doing
[12:29] <helpmeat> maco, ffu: both command work, now i'm going to find the right category (apps, desktop, schemas, system)
[12:29] <Guest813> sory the stickers messed up but ill give u what i can:4TPMT-MTFM6
[12:30] <maco> helpmeat: whatever it is, likely not schemas. those are things applications install themselves to tell how the other categories work
[12:30] <kristjan_> erUSUL, I see it has fglx-installer package - how do check what driver version it installs for me?
[12:30] <helpmeat> maco, ffu: thank you so far, soon i'm going to ask you again for details OR tell you it works
[12:30] <helpmeat> maco: ok

[12:42] <jits> newb-10x: its password based authentication .. so no problem of keys i think ..
[12:42] <sacarlson> jits: ok good enuf then,  your in
[12:42] <amit_> bonjoyee:4gb but i think its only using 1.5 gb i think but don't know why
[12:42] <jits> sacarlson: yeah .. but when i try to ssh from a system outside dhcp i have this problem, .. :|
[12:42] <tristan3199us1> anyone know how to stream multimedia
[12:43] <fruitwerks> is it possible to run postgres 8.3 and 8.4 from the dist packages?
[12:43] <sacarlson> jits: if you want to get direct into it seems you need  to check the iptables in your router
[12:43] <newb-10x> blackice can stream
[12:43] <jits> sacarlson: dhcp server is the router for the target machine .. can you tell me what i need to allow there ?
[12:44] <jits> sacarlson: currently i have "sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT" .. thats it
[12:44] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer tristan3199us1
[12:44] <Ileden> rigved: although, it's quite a mouthful :) but well written, I'll just wade through it.

[12:44] <shishirdwivedi20> hey i have a query
[12:45] <shishirdwivedi20> when i boot my computer 2  operating system is shown  but default operating system is window i want to make ubuntu my defaut how can i do that
[12:45] <sacarlson> jits: then it will only allow outgoing and estabished connections,  if you want your sub network to bypass that you would have to add another line
[12:45] <rigved> Ileden: ya that's quite a mouthful! :)
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> shishirdwivedi20:  what version of ubuntu are you using?
[12:45] <jits> sacarlson: let me know what i need to add .. thanks :-)
[12:46] <sacarlson> jits: I don't know the structure of your network
[12:46] <shishirdwivedi20> dr_willis 10.10
[12:46] <sacarlson> jits: you could just open it and enable forwarding
[12:46] <jits> scarleo:  want to allow ssh into all the dhcp'd systems from outside ..
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> shishirdwivedi20:  you can edit the grub  file /etc/default/grub and select what entry is the default i recall. you would count down the # of lines to the windows entry in the menu. or i think you cans ome how select them by name
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | shishirdwivedi20
[12:47] <jits> sacarlson:  want to allow ssh into all the dhcp'd systems from outside ..
[12:47] <sacarlson> jits: from the outside including the internet?
[12:47] <morfeu> !op
[12:47] <newb-10x> jits you might want to ask in ##networking
[12:47] <bazhang> morfeu, ?
[12:47] <maco> morfeu: what?
[12:47] <jussi01> morfeu:
[12:47] <jits> sacarlson: nah .. internet is blocked by the internet gateway .. so that side is fine .
[12:47] <cdbs> morfeu: Please don't use that unnecesarilu
[12:47] <cdbs> *unnecessarily
[12:47] <morfeu> nao entendo
[12:48] <sacarlson> jits: well I assume you could just delete your line you have added then
[12:50] <panci> gfjh
[12:50] <morfeu> /server irc.shownetlanhouse.com.br
[12:51] <jits> sacarlson: that line is needed to allow the dhcp'd machines to access internet i think ..
[12:51] <newb-10x> would anyone know how to stop the choppy effect while dragging windows

[12:53] <jits> sacarlson: u mean that is causing problem ?
[12:53] <sacarlson> jits: that is part of it yes
[12:54] <sacarlson> jits: like I said I don't know the structure of your network without seeing route
[12:54] <Dwade09> everytime i boot my computer i get prompted for a keyring password i do not know what the keyring password is for and it is very annoying how can i disable this keyring password it only pops up after every login

[13:03] <jits> hi .. i am able to ping thru my network gateway but can't ssh in .. please help !!!
[13:03] <chaospsychex> i was in windows and i didn't have much space left on that partition. so i go into disk management to create a new ntfs partition. something came up saying that i would not be able to create the new partition unless i converted the simple volume to a dynamic volume. would i like to continue,i clicked yes.  then a error pops up. and now i cant boot into windows or ubuntu
[13:03] <newb-10x> ikonia new install 10.10 xubuntu windows dragging very choppy any idea?
[13:03] <sacarlson> jits: replace with sudo iptables  -A FORWARD ACCEPT,  so that didn't work
[13:03] <chaospsychex> i should of never tried to make the partition using disk management
[13:04] <ikonia> newb-10x: no
[13:04] <newb-10x> ikonia thanks
[13:04] <newb-10x> later days better ways
[13:05] <chaospsychex> can someone help me?
[13:06] <nirazio> Can anyone explain the flow of USB detection in Ubuntu System?
[13:06] <dnivra> chaospsychex, it'd be better if you repeat your question(if you have already asked) rather than ask this question. and if nobody knows, nobody will help. no response after a few tries-nobody knows; try later.
[13:07] <levin> hello everyone
[13:09] <jits_> how do i allow ssh from outside thru my network gateway ?
[13:09] <Pici> jits_: forward port 22
[13:09] <jits_> Pici:  how do i do that ?
[13:09] <jits_> Pici:  i can ping across.. so i should be able to ssh also i thought ?
[13:09] <Pici> jits_: Follow whatever instructions you have for your router.
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> jits_:  not really.
[13:10] <jits_> Dr_Willis: then ?
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> it could be your router replying to the pings or not...
[13:10] <Pici> jits_: See http://portforward.com for model specific help.
[13:10] <jits_> Pici: my ubuntu server is my router and dhcp server ..
[13:10] <pradyumna> 0-how to remove a software completely?
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> pradyumna:  use teh package manager tools (if it was installed with them) and use the purge option
[13:11] <dnivra> pradyumna, 'sudo apt-get purge <packagename>'
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> pradyumna:  what are you trying to remove?
[13:11] <DasEi> pradyumna: sudo apt-get remove --purge PACKAGENAME
[13:11] <pradyumna> guayadeque player
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> pradyumna:  if you installed it using the package m anager then you can remove it using the package manager tools.
[13:12] <amit> bonjoyee: ?
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> pradyumna:  note that purgeing somthing will NOT remove the users settings in their home dirs
[13:12] <sacarlson> jits_: is your ubuntu route  setup as a MASQUERADE?
[13:12] <jits_> sacarlson: yes ..
[13:12] <pradyumna> basically my prblem is the player is not launching
[13:12] <sacarlson> jits_: pastebin both route and iptables -l
[13:12] <jits_> sacarlson: i tried removing it .. did not help ..
[13:13] <sacarlson> jits_: our your router
[13:13] <sacarlson> jits_: of your router
[13:13] <chaospsychex> if i have converted my hd to a dynamic volume and now cant boot into ubuntu. how can i fix this?
[13:13] <jits_> sacarlson: iptables -l is not defined it says :|
[13:13] <rgb247> anyone using Gedit as PHP/HTML editor?
[13:14] <rgb247> I have some questions
[13:14] <sacarlson> jits_:  sudo iptables -l
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> jits_:  try sudo iptables --lost
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> jits_:  try sudo iptables --list
[13:15] <jits_> Dr_Willis: sacarlson http://paste.ubuntu.com/546252/
[13:16] <sacarlson> jits_: thats not masquerade
[13:17] <amati> hi
[13:18] <sacarlson> jits_:  lets see the script that ran to create the iptables
[13:18] <jits_> i have it in my rc.local .. "sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE"
[13:18] <jits_> sacarlson: i have it in my rc.local .. "sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE" .. no other config ..
[13:19] <sacarlson> jits_: so that lines without the -m conntrack --ctstate  didn't work?
[13:19] <chaospsychex> can someone help me recover my mbr
[13:20] <fruitwerks> can someone help me out downgrading postgresql 8.4.5 to 8.4
[13:22] <fruitwerks> or at least where to find the deb?
[13:22] <sacarlson> jits_: it would require to be sudo iptables -A FORWARD  -j ACCEPT
[13:23] <sacarlson> jits_:  the rest looks good

[13:24] <nirazio> Evince cannot view my dvi files. A search online shows that this seems quite common. Is there any way to enable dvi viewing other than further installing ubuntu texlive packages?
[13:24] <PeterNL> How do I create a custom ubuntu server install cd/dvd, (NOT a live cd)?
[13:24] <sacarlson> jits_: oops sudo iptables  -t nat -A POSTROUTING  -j MASQUERADE
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> fruitwerks:  you can pin differnt versions via the package manager. if the old version is still in the repos.
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> !remaster | PeterNL
[13:24] <sacarlson> jits_: not sure you can put the -t nat after or not
[13:24] <dnivra> nirazio, you have tex installed? why not use dvipdf to convert it to PDF?
[13:25] <sacarlson> jits_: mine looks like $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
[13:25] <PeterNL> Dr_Willis: how can I make an text-based installer out of that. I am not interested in live cd's
[13:27] <bencahill> PeterNL: is the ubuntu server install a livecd? I thought it was not...
[13:27] <PeterNL> it is not
[13:27] <bencahill> PeterNL: oh... :-/
[13:27] <histo> PeterNL: I thought the link from ubottu had something about customizing alternate and server iso's
[13:27] <PeterNL> histo: Where?
[13:27] <sacarlson> jits_: other thing you need is : echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[13:27] <dnivra> !remaster | PeterNL
[13:28] <PeterNL> dnivra: that's what Dr_Willis already told me :)
[13:28] <histo> PeterNL: right under the first caution sign
[13:28] <dnivra> PeterNL, that's what histo is referring to i think.
[13:28] <histo> PeterNL: This guide is for the Desktop LiveCd; there is another page referring to customisation of the Alternative Install Cd & the Server Install Cd. Also, there is a guide on how to create a LiveCd without using an existing LiveCd.
[13:28] <PeterNL> Ah, I see. I feel blind...
[13:29] <sacarlson> jits_: heres what my simplified masqurade script looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546256/
[13:32] <nirazio> Evince cannot view my dvi files. A search online shows that this seems quite common. Is there any way to enable dvi viewing other than further installing ubuntu texlive packages?

[13:33] <histo> !es > hitman
[13:33] <histo> !es | hitman
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> PeterNL:  the default server cd is text based.. the alt-installer cd is also text based.  you should be able to customize those. depending on wha tyou want to customize
[13:38] <yellowface> test
[13:39] <PeterNL> Dr_Willis: I want to add lots of programs, scripts and configuration, and move that to an server-like install dvd
[13:39] <yellowface> test
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> PeterNL:  theres that reconstructor web site that let you do stuff like that in their web itnerface.. but i dont think that sites 'free' any more.

[13:55] <pucko-> callumacrae: pretty much w3m or elinks, imo
[13:55] <banda> hello
[13:55] <cjdevlin> callumacrae: are you looking for a text based browser?
[13:55] <Pici> callumacrae: w3m should be there by default, its pretty good. Although I believe  that links2 supports rendering images via your framebuffer if you're on a tty.
[13:55] <jussi> is there some way to scroll up in screen?
[13:55] <maco> jussi: ctrl+A, esc, pgup

[14:00] <lo-ki> i dual booted windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition using the wubi and it worked fine most of all day yesterday now everytime i go to run ubuntu it locks-up and sometimes it will load and i can mess around on it for a little bit but it will still lock-up at some point any idea as to why it keeps freezing all the time??

[14:02] <Weazel> big woops
[14:02] <Weazel> is there a software for changing icons for folders mp3s and such ?
[14:02] <azlon> i am trying to create a public share in samba. in my smb.conf can i leave out the "valid users =" line and do "public = yes" "writeable = no"

[14:03] <nirazio> How to bind mouse keys with keyboard keys???
[14:04] <Weazel> UnholyTerror: sry i didn't explain my question better, i meant for file types and not just a specific file
[14:05] <uuu> ciaop
[14:05] <Weazel> no one knows then ?
[14:06] <Weazel> bummer......
[14:06] <UnholyTerror> Weazel, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/155973-changing-default-icons-video-files.html
[14:06] <aeon-ltd> lo-ki: hmm, sounds like a bug, did it always do this?
[14:07] <DannyButterman> Pici: i'm totally pissed off !!! first usually I can't ype anything until I'm logged in, and secondly I pasted on the server page then suddenly it it was the ubuntu chan instead, and third there was a space before the /msg command which screwed it up completly. Now I had to drop this nickname, f.... !!!!!
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> Weazel:  that would be a theme setting. or changeing the theme icons basically.
[14:08] <lo-ki> not really i mean when i first did it, i was using it mostly all day then suddenly when i went to turn it on it did that and i couldn't get to the desktop so i reformatted the partition to install it again and it still does it :S
[14:09] <jeltsch> I use a laptop, and I want the external monitor to be the primary one if it’s connected, otherwise the internal one. How can I acheive this?
[14:09] <Weazel> Dr_Willis:  thing is i'm currently using an icon theme, and i wanna change a few icon which i don't like within the theme, but i'd hate to do it all one by one manually... thought if there is an easier way to do so, like they have on windows or smt
[14:09] <lo-ki> could it possibly have something to do with the updates? when i first logon it detects all these updates to install but im a newb to the whole linux thing so not sure what can and shouldn't be updated lol
[14:09] <ray_> hello
[14:09] <ray_> linux
[14:09] <aeon-ltd> lo-ki: what version?
[14:09] <apctr> tell me the channel name for ns-2
[14:10] <ray_> exit
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Weazel:  you can somehow add specific icons to your .icons dir and it can override the theme ones.. but some themes have issues with that and itnore them.
[14:10] <lo-ki> uhmm i use the wubi 1010 and select ubuntu netbook
[14:12] <Weazel> Dr_Willis: yea i've noticed that, i started changing some even, but then i noticed there are like 7 types of sizes for each icon, like 24x24 48x48 etc. and this is just so much work to go through just for changing lets say folders icon....
[14:12] <Weazel> shame..
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> Weazel:  and thats why theres a move to using 'svg' icons
[14:13] <aeon-ltd> lo-ki: if you're really dedicated to using ubuntu i'd say try a dualboot instead of wubi
[14:13] <aeon-ltd> !dualboot |lo-ki
[14:13] <aeon-ltd> lo-ki: it may fix the problem
[14:13] <Weazel> Dr_Willis:  what do u mean there's a move ? like in 11.04 they'll use svn ?
[14:13] <Weazel> didn't they actually use svn before come to think about it ?
[14:13] <lo-ki> alright ill give it a shot thanks
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> Weazel:   'sgv' = vector based images for the icons. some apps are using them now in some places
[14:14] <aeon-ltd> lo-ki: good luck :)
[14:14] <Weazel> Dr_Willis: when will it happen ? do we know  ? or is it just planned for the future versions ?

[14:15] <Bertik> Hi, I need a quick help please. I have user on server (created with adduser command) and I need to remove this users rights to sudo. I do not want him to have any administrative rights. But at the same time I want to have this user to be able to SSH to server and browse his folder. I have researched a bit before posting here, but I can't find straight answer... Anyone please?
[14:15] <Ileden> aaaa22222: no, he probably uses Chrome OS...
[14:15] <aaaa22222> lol
[14:15] <histo> Bertik: remove him from the admin group
[14:15] <Pici> Bertik: Remove them from the 'admin' group
[14:15] <aeon-ltd> aaaa22222: why would he? web design is ambiguous, his server technicians and engineers might
[14:16] <uuu> !list
[14:16] <Bertik> histo,Pici: from /etc/group ?
[14:17] <histo> Bertik: groupmod will work
[14:17] <histo> Bertik: sry usermod
[14:17] <Bertik> histo: thanks, will research this ( usermod )
[14:18] <histo> Bertik: or something like sudo deluser bob admin
[14:19] <sudipta> hey guys
[14:19] <histo> Bertik: that would probably be easiest
[14:19] <hhhh> Hello
[14:20] <Bertik> histo: so this - sudo deluser bob admin - will delete the bob user from admin group and still leave his other rights?
[14:22] <Sebastian> Hello, does any1 got a command i can use to determine which grub im using?
[14:22] <histo> Bertik: correct
[14:22] <histo> Sebastian: dpkg -l | grep grub
[14:23] <Sebastian> histo ty
[14:23] <histo> Sebastian: grub version number will be on the right
[14:23] <Bertik> histo: thanks, just reading man pages. Looks like it is what I was looking for..., thank you
[14:24] <Sebastian> histo found it, thanks :)
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> Weazel:  with gnome 3 and ubuntu moving towards unity - no one can tell.  I imagine it will happen eventually.
[14:24] <aaaa22222> someone got a link with a very good linux vs windows blog ?????
[14:24] <Weazel> Dr_Willis: thx
[14:24] <histo> Bertik: yeah as long as you specify user with a group it will only remove them from the group.  if you did sudo deluser bob   it would remove that user.
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> Sebastian:  grub --version   perhaps/

[14:29] <Dr_Willis> reenignEesreveR:  upgraded JUST the network manager? how did you do that?
[14:29] <joris> erUSUL; i get an IOException (when i try: new Socket("localhost", port))
[14:29] <joris> scoulibaly, i'll try netstat right away =)
[14:29] <erUSUL> joris: sudo lsof -i :5555
[14:30] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:30]  * erUSUL waves
[14:30] <p1l0t> BluesKaj: hi
[14:31] <BluesKaj> hey erUSUL
[14:31] <St018> Hi there Im wondering whether can i place 2 different splash wallpaper to grub loading screen?
[14:32] <joris> scoulibaly, erUSUL, netstad returned an enormous list of connection - i'm looking to filter it 5555 out of it (something might idd be wrong there), sudo lsof -i :5555 didn't return anything
[14:33] <erUSUL> joris: then nothing is using that port. the error is something else
[14:33] <bencahill> what would be the best way to resize the partition ubuntu is on, without using a ubuntu livecd?
[14:33] <BluesKaj> ahha , gotta reboot , kernel just updated
[14:33] <erUSUL> joris: i am not java programer so i dunno ....
[14:33] <joris> hmm, ok thanks erUSUL & scoulibaly, than i'll look more into the java side to find out what's wrong
[14:34] <momelod> greetings channel.  I've broken my power management on my latop after upgrade to 10.10.  basically i cannot run gnome-power-manager.  When i do, i get this error: http://pastebin.com/hYRuMB7Q
[14:35] <sacarlson> bencahill: what are you going to resize?  root / how about adding a new partition for /home and move /home there.
[14:36] <momelod> i can no longer sleep or hibernate (unless i manually run `/etc/acpi/sleep.sh`)
[14:36] <momelod> but the option to sleep, hibernate are missing from my logout menu
[14:37] <indra> hi
[14:37] <momelod> and, there is no battery monitoring happening either, so my laptop will drain the battery completely unless im there to power off beforehand.
[14:37] <gsr> I've made some changes to GDM, and recompiled it.  Is there a way to tell ubuntu to recompile GDM everytime it updates it, and does a merge-changes sort of thing (recompiling GDM with my patches automatically applied. like with gentoo conf files after updating a port)?
[14:39] <Tonik> Hi, any hints for rebuilding SATA RAID on an ASUS motherboard with Windows-only drivers?
[14:39] <sacarlson> gsr: I've never done it but maybe you could make your own custom gdm package,  just put version what it is so if it's newer it will still be selected
[14:39] <indra> hello room
[14:40] <H_> hum
[14:40] <sacarlson> gsr: or if it is really custom you can pin it
[14:40] <jits> hi .. i have a set of dhcp servers in range 10.1.0.x, and they dish out ips in 10.1.xx.yy range.. i want to ssh from one server's dhcp range to another server's dhcp range.. how do i do that ?
[14:40] <jits> i am able to ssh from the servers to each other's ip ranges, but not able to connect from dhcp ranges of each other ..
[14:41] <sacarlson> jits: I made this for you to try: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546276/
[14:42] <Rawrimatiger> Hello
[14:42] <sacarlson> jits: it seems you don't need to have masqurade setup,  your gateway will do that for you.  I did some minimal test but you would have to try it to prove it.
[14:42] <gsr> sacarlson: thanks, its a good place to start!  I've customized it so that when a certain password is entered, it starts zeroing /var, so its a few lines of code.  I know that there is some kind of library used when updating the kernel in ubuntu, so modified kernel modules are recompiled as well (like the vbox module).  There's nothing like that for apt in general?
[14:42] <jits> sacarlson: cool .. will try now :-)
[14:42] <Rawrimatiger> I was just wondering how i resize a partition with Gparted
[14:43] <Rawrimatiger> I need to resize windows so i can do a side by side boot with Ubuntu and Windows
[14:43] <gambit_2> how do you upgrade ubuntu on a laptop when it doesn't want tp read the arcive that the disk has
[14:43] <jhon_d0e> hi , sometimes at random my ubuntu10.10 freezes after login . I would like to see the log files when this happens when i reboot next time.. where do i look for them ? Thanks !
[14:44] <momelod> jhon_d0e, ~/.xsession-errors
[14:44] <jhon_d0e> momelod: thanks . it stays there after reboot right ?
[14:44] <momelod> yes
[14:45] <momelod> the previous copy will be named .xsession-errors.old
[14:45] <reenignEesreveR> i upgraded my network manager to 0.8.1 on lucid ... my ethernet won't get dhcp address now  ... help!!!!
[14:46] <landley1> kvm in 10.04 LTS has a bug: you have to click X to close twice.
[14:46] <landley1> The first click is ignored.
[14:46] <gambit_2> can someone answer my quesxtion
[14:46] <landley1> I just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to report said bug through launchpad.  It insisted I connect the ubuntu machine to the network and fire up a command line utility.
[14:46] <landley1> There is now way to do it through the web.
[14:46] <jhon_d0e> momelod: not seeing anything useful there. can i get something like dmesg for mylast boot ?
[14:47] <maco> landley1: if you go to the exact package's page it shouldnt insist on that
[14:47] <landley1> So the bug goes unreported via launchpad.
[14:47] <Rawrimatiger> I was just wondering how i resize a partition with Gparted	I need to resize windows so i can do a side by side boot with Ubuntu and Windows
[14:47] <BluesKaj> reenignEesreveR, sudo dhclient eth0, or whatever your ethernet designation set as
[14:47] <momelod> jhon_d0e, that will log any session errors you have. for x startup the logs are /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[14:48] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, i suggest you shrink the partition from windows rather than use gparted.
[14:48] <landley1> maco: why doesn't https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs say anything about that then?
[14:48] <SergeyIT> reenignEesreveR, u don't have any problem but now u have it )
[14:48] <reenignEesreveR> BluesKaj, that worked. Now how can i find why it is not automatically getting an address and why do i have to tell it explicitly to get oen
[14:48] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra, and may i ask how i do that and what i use to do it with? x.x sorry ive never done side by side before ^.^
[14:48] <maco> landley1: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+filebug
[14:48] <sacarlson>  reenignEesreveR: I guess you have 3 choices go back to the working version, or disable network manager and setup manualy in cli (command line ),  or maybe try a ppa version that has hopfully fixed the problem that I seem to see some people are having with it.
[14:49] <reenignEesreveR> sacarlson, im using PPA version of network manager :(
[14:49] <landley1> maco: cool.  Thanks.
[14:49] <maco> landley1: because filing without a utility that automatically includes debugging info usually results in crappy bug reports that are useless to anyone trying to fix the prblem
[14:49] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, hold on ok.
[14:49] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra, alright ^.^
[14:49] <sacarlson> reenignEesreveR: well bummer that didn't work
[14:49] <landley1> maco: ok, I won't report the bug then.
[14:49] <landley1> Bye.
[14:49] <maco> landley1: so, for the vast majority of folks who dont know how to file bug reports, its preferable that they use those tools
[14:49] <maco> eh whatever ill report it myself
[14:50] <gambit_2> would someone answer my question please
[14:50] <maco> ugh though 10.04... at least reproduce in 11.04 first
[14:50] <BluesKaj> reenignEesr run , sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart then reboot and check your connection
[14:50] <bencahill> gambit_2: what do you mean "doesn't want to read the archive"?
[14:50] <sacarlson> reenignEesreveR: oh another posible solution is try wicd as a replacement for network manager
[14:51] <cjdevlin> !upgrade | gambit_2
[14:51] <WierdAAR> When i turned on my computer today, my microphone had a problem where all input is speed up and high pich. Resulting in my sounding like a smurf. Funny but very annoying. Any idea on what could cause this ?
[14:51] <gambit_2> it said that the arcive is not reconised
[14:51] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, how to shrink a partition http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/
[14:51] <bencahill> sacarlson: I'm resizing root, to make room for a /boot partition for a usb install
[14:51] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra, thank you ^.^
[14:51] <bencahill> !details | gambit_2
[14:51] <sacarlson> bencahill: oh ok,  then I'm not sure,  I never trusted the repartition shapers
[14:52] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, installing windows and ubuntu side by side. i think this should work along with that. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-ubuntu.html
[14:52] <fruitwerks> can someone assist me in downgrading postgresql to 8.3 on lucid?
[14:53] <bencahill> sacarlson: wait, gparted could do that, and it has a livecd
[14:53] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, okay don't follow http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-ubuntu.html. i'll get you something else.
[14:53] <sacarlson> bencahill: I guess fully backup your root and maybe try gparted, I was told that the newer version is now able to resize partitions but I have never tried it
[14:53] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra, thank you however i have Windows XP
[14:53] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, i think it works the same.
[14:53] <cjdevlin> gambit_2: what are the steps you are taking and what exactly are the error messages?
[14:53] <bencahill> sacarlson: for some reason I thought it could. no?
[14:53] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra: oh x.x heh... well i tried the disk management before in Windows XP and it didnt give me the option :o
[14:53] <sacarlson> bencahill:  the old ones didn't the new ones do
[14:54] <gambit_2> well i run 10.9 and want to go to netbook version but it says that arcive not reconised when i try to install and it also will not boot from disk
[14:54] <bencahill> sacarlson: ah ok, I'll see what I can come up with :)
[14:54] <sacarlson> bencahill: I would love to hear if it works
[14:54] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, hold on okay.
[14:54] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra, alrighty, np
[14:55] <jimly> No DHCPOFFERS received.what's the problem
[14:55] <dnivra> jimly, i guess there is no DHCP server running.
[14:55] <Sri_> hey hai
[14:55] <Rawrimatiger> Another question.... Is there a point in resizing when i have 41GBs free?
[14:55] <Dr_Willis> gambit_2:  what 'archive' ? you are trying to install the ubuntu-netbook package on a normal ubuntu install? or what exactly
[14:56] <Sri_> :(
[14:56] <jimly> how to check if dhcp is running
[14:56] <Sri_> hello  hello ..
[14:56] <dnivra> jimcooncat, DHCP server. it is another computer running on the LAN.
[14:56] <gambit_2> yes i want to install the netbook version of 10.10 and it wont let me
[14:57] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, okay Win XP doesn't have a shrink option. sorry :). well you can do it with gparted then i guess. though i wouldn't advise it. still i guess it is fine.
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> gambit_2:  so you have No ubuntu installed? or you are trying to install Just the netbook edition?  via cd? wubi? how.
[14:57] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra, why wouldnt you recommend it?
[14:57] <gambit_2> yes i have 10.9 installed on laptop
[14:58] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, gparted might mess up the partition. do you have a back up?
[14:58] <jimly> when i get in windows ,it can get ip auto,but in ununtu,it can't
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> Rawrimatiger:  when resizeing.. always have backups.. scan the disk in windows, defrag, resize, then you may want to rescan it
[14:58] <|Bboy|> Question: When installing rvm in ubuntu.. is there an issue with being logged in as admin when this is done? Should I create a user with no admin abilities and then install?
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> |Bboy|:  ive never heard of any issues with an 'admin' capable user being logged in and causing any install issues.
[14:59] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra, o_o argh im always second guessing weather i should install ubuntu because of this. You see, i dont have a Windows XP backup.
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> Rawrimatiger:  just rember - a hard drive can DIE at any time.. your XP install. could die at any time...
[14:59] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, i don't think it will cause a problem but creating a backup is recommended always.
[14:59] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra, oh oh where can i get a virtual box?
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> Rawrimatiger:  use a linux live cd. and a usb hard drive. to backup an image of the HD if you want to be serious about it.
[14:59] <dnivra> !vbox | Rawrimatiger
[15:00] <KM0201> dnivra: using Gparted is perfectly safe, provided the user pays attention.
[15:00] <KM0201> Vbox is fine, but not as good as an actual dual boot system.
[15:00] <dnivra> KM0201, think a new user would :)?
[15:00] <Rawrimatiger> !free
[15:00] <Rawrimatiger> lol
[15:00] <Rawrimatiger> whoops xx
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> Rawrimatiger:  if using a laptop.. always be plugged in to the wall.. when resizeing.. never battery :)
[15:00] <KM0201> dnivra: well, thats completely another issue... you don't insinuate its not safe
[15:00] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, KM0201 is right ^^ virtualbox isn't the best.
[15:01] <|Bboy|> DrWillis: thansk
[15:01] <|Bboy|> DrWillis: thanks*
[15:01] <Yahuda> When Ubuntu starts it doesn't activate microphone input automatically. Actually it looks activated but it doesn't work. I have to go to sound preferences, then input, that have to switch from Microphoe 1 to any other, then switch back to Microphone 1. Then it works. Any idea how to fix this?
[15:01] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra, how do i get the free edition of Virtual Box x.x
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> Rawrimatiger:  its at the vbox download site
[15:01] <Rawrimatiger> dnivra, and i dont want to take any chances of ruining windows
[15:01] <KM0201> Rawrimatiger: what are the specs of your PC?
[15:01] <dnivra> KM0201, people make assumptions sometimes. but i messed up my windows partition when i shrunk it with gparted-i did it fine for sure following a tutorial. deleted windows after that :)
[15:02] <KM0201> dnivra: well, just because you ddi it, don't assume everone will.. .that was a pretty ridiculous statement you made that using gparted to partition a drive was not safe.
[15:02] <dnivra> Rawrimatiger, it's a very low percentage but nevertheless exists. i think if you follow http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-ubuntu.html it's safe.
[15:02] <gambit_2> dr willis what about my problem
[15:02] <|Bboy|> Question: When i installed ubuntu, it asked me for a username.. when i log in.. it logs me into that username.. when i try to install something i have i have used sudo... does this mean that the account created when ubuntu was installed is not the root user.. and just a user.. i am a bit confused..
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> 'resizeing' always has some risk. of course these days the HD seems to be the weakest link. When in doubt - backup.
[15:03] <cjdevlin> !sudo | Bboy
[15:03] <dnivra> KM0201, just to be clear i was sure that the steps were right. gparted did mess up my partition-it was rendered unusable after shrink :)
[15:03] <BluesKaj> dnivra, was your windows install either vista or W7 ?
[15:03] <KM0201> dnivra: obviously you werent.
[15:03] <|Bboy|> cjdevlin: thanks
[15:03] <dnivra> BluesKaj, vista.
[15:03] <cjdevlin> |Bboy|: np
[15:03] <agentgasmask> Where on the ubuntu forums can I post stuff for biginners? The "Absolute Beginner Talk" is read only...
[15:03] <Rawrimatiger> Both KM0201 and Dnirva plz x.x one had a problem the other didnt
[15:04] <dnivra> anyway Rawrimatiger no worries http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-ubuntu.html is pretty good. just follow it. it has screenshots and stuff too. i think you won't have any problem.
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> gambit_2:  You mean 10.10? or 10.04 ?   you are just rrying to install the netbook interface ontop of a desktop install then? via somthing like -->  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook
[15:04] <cjdevlin> |BBoy|: ubuntu doesn't create a 'root' account for security purposes.
[15:04] <gambit_2> yes
[15:04] <KM0201> Rawrimatiger: take normal precautions(ie, back up important data, etc..) and pay attentio while partitioning, and you'll be fine
[15:04] <dnivra> agentgasmask, if you register, you can post in the forum. if you have a problem with ubuntu, you could also try asking here too.
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> gambit_2:  be a bit more verbose in your answers. :)   does that command give any error? if its saying the .deb is bad. then it could be a server issue with a currupted file. or download issues.
[15:05] <dnivra> KM0201, precisely what i told him :). and you were right-i should stop scaring people maybe. installing ubuntu isn't rocket science :).
[15:05] <Yahuda> Err, how frequently should i ask my question again? : )
[15:05] <BluesKaj> yeah dnivra , I had the same prob
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> dnivra:  its more like Rocket SUrgery...
[15:05] <KM0201> dnivra: that was my point.. your statement that partitioning a drive was somehow dangerous was full of hyperbole
[15:06] <VladB> Hey guys, anyone up to help me? i'm having problems with a wifi pcmcia card on a ubuntu 10.04 laptop. the card isnt recognized althogh pcmcia modules are running. the card should be supported, but it doesn`t show up on lspci. any ideas?
[15:06] <dnivra> BluesKaj, you did? any idea why?
[15:06] <gambit_2> it says that the arcive is not reconised
[15:06] <dnivra> Dr_Willis, it isn't that difficult is it?
[15:06] <gambit_2> sorry for my spelling
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> gambit_2:   you may want to pastebin the exact error message for the channel to see. along with the output of -> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook
[15:06] <dnivra> KM0201, point conceded :).
[15:06] <cjdevlin> !wireless | VladB
[15:07] <KM0201> VladB: whats your card?
[15:07] <botcat> yeah this resource is really usefull
[15:07] <gambit_2> what does that mean in non tech way
[15:08] <VladB> KM0201- it's an edimax card... i havent found the exact name, but the guy in the store said it should be supported :P
[15:08] <UnholyTerror> Yahuda, don't know... sorry.
[15:08] <sacarlson> anyone ever try xmount to convert a dd raw dump of a disk or partition to a vdi virtualbox disk image?
[15:08] <BluesKaj> dnivra, ppl will disagree with this notion that one should refrag windows immediately prior to partition resizing, dunno if it works tho. I found out too late , there's an app called BCD that if install ahead of time will preserve the mbr or whatever windows calls it now
[15:08] <docmalphas> hi is there a way to run 2 separate screens
[15:08] <Yahuda> No, do not sorry. I'll be sorry then. :(
[15:09] <reenignEesreveR> sacarlson, dhclient worked for me as it got the ip address but it didn't set the routing table entries. It means my network-manager is completely screwed up?
[15:09] <bencahill> sacarlson: I found an old gparted cd, and it has resize in it :) /boot is currently only 19M, so I guess I wouldn't need a very big partition for it
[15:09] <bencahill> Jordan_U: I found an old gparted cd, and it has resize in it :) /boot is currently only 19M, so I guess I wouldn't need a very big partition for it
[15:09] <UnholyTerror> docmalphas, sure... what do you want exactly?
[15:09] <bencahill> Jordan_U: ...how large do you think I should make it?
[15:09] <agentgasmask> dnivra: I'm logged in to my user on the forum and the Absolute Beginner Talk sub-forum is still read only... Is that what you ment would become writable? Also, I wanted to write a semi-howto, so I think that is better on a forum.
[15:09] <dnivra> BluesKaj, preserver windows boot loader? i prefer grub :). and you meant "defrag" not "refrag". right :)?
[15:09] <sacarlson> reenignEesreveR: you might have to disable network-manager before you dhclient
[15:10] <gambit_2> when i boot it supose to boot disk but boots ubuntu already installed like disk is not there
[15:10] <docmalphas> I want to run 2 screens at the same time like in windows. when i run i just get a clone screen
[15:10] <BluesKaj> dnivra, right defrag , sorry for the typo
[15:10] <dnivra> agentgasmask, i guess you can't edit the absolute beginner talk section. i think you can just post it in the forum and people would find it. also put it in your blog or something-google would find it then :)
[15:10] <UnholyTerror> what gfx card? kind of computer?
[15:10] <sacarlson> bencahill: my /boot partition is like 50 meg  so maybe 100meg should give you more than enuf
[15:11] <BluesKaj> dnivra, BCD only affects the chainloder on windows not grub
[15:11] <dnivra> BluesKaj, refrag would make it a nightmare :)
[15:11] <BluesKaj> dnivra, :)
[15:11] <bencahill> sacarlson: is there any reason it would grow?
[15:11] <bencahill> sacarlson: I'm only running a picture frame, and will never update it or whatnot
[15:11] <gambit_2> dr willis: are you there i gave more info
[15:11] <dnivra> BluesKaj, oh! okay; i'll have to read a bit about it :). thanks!
[15:11] <fruitwerks> are the build settings online anywhere for all packages? - like the ./configure settings?
[15:11] <bencahill> !tab | gambit_2
[15:12] <agentgasmask> dnivra: Ok. Thanks for the help! :) cheers!
[15:12] <dnivra> agentgasmask, sure. np :).
[15:12] <gambit_2> sorry
[15:12] <maco> fruitwerks: the source package for each application would have anything thats added on to configure in its debian/rules
[15:12] <sacarlson> reenignEesreveR: did you do this: sudo service network-manager stop  before the dhclient ethX?
[15:13] <BluesKaj> dnivra, but always install windows before linux ,. if indeed you intend to dualboot
[15:13] <issam> Hello !
[15:13] <bencahill> gambit_2: well without it, you may miss characters, like replacing an underscore with a space in Dr_Willis 's name :)
[15:13] <dnivra> BluesKaj, i guess you meant that grub would chainload the windows boot manager?
[15:13] <ph0n7r1c> how do you create a vitual interface in ubuntu
[15:13] <docmalphas> unholyterror, its a radeon graphics card not shure of the model so i guess it doesnt help is there no setting to prevent the clone and allow me to move windows around
[15:13] <sacarlson> bencahill: only when you install a new kernel it will about double in size but you can delete it after you find the new one works
[15:13] <dnivra> BluesKaj, yeah that is always what i recommend-i don't use windows except XP on a virtual box if highly essential.
[15:14] <leprechau> it doesn't really matter what order you install linux/windows .... you'll just need to boot the ubbie cd in rescue mode and do another grub-install if you install windows after you do linux
[15:14] <bencahill> sacarlson: ok, thanks, I'm off to try it!
[15:14] <leprechau> so you get grub bootloader not the windows bootloader
[15:14] <UnholyTerror> docmalphas, is this a desktop or laptop?
[15:14] <docmalphas> desktop
[15:14] <dnivra> leprechau, BluesKaj, well windows boot loader can boot ubuntu too. i remember reading a tutorial on how to do that.
[15:14] <BluesKaj> dnivra, yup grub will pick up the windows partition and then BCD would be there
[15:14] <leprechau> dnivra, sure it can ... but it's not near as flexible as grub
[15:15] <induz> nary which can i use offline
[15:15] <dnivra> leprechau, has windows ever been flexible :)?
[15:15] <leprechau> nope
[15:15] <induz> any English to hindi dictionary
[15:15] <dnivra> BluesKaj, that is news; i need to find out how to do that.
[15:15] <docmalphas> im trying to start up ubuntu got an error 17 what is this
[15:15] <induz> on Ubuntu platform
[15:15] <fruitwerks> how would I download a src package for postgresql-8.3?
[15:15] <Daytona60146> Windows is flexible.  You get to choose from 40 different versions that are just as useless as the next.
[15:15] <BluesKaj> grub has it's faults but I still prefer it
[15:16] <induz> english to Hindi dict
[15:16] <UnholyTerror> docmalphas, so you have two screens now, but stuck in clone mode?
[15:16] <induz> dictionary
[15:16] <docmalphas> unholyterror, yes
[15:16] <sacarlson> reenignEesreveR: if you want to go total manual and bypass your dhcp server you could run a script something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546284/
[15:16] <dnivra> fruitwerks, "apt-get source <packagename>" should work. that downloads the source of current version installable in ubuntu. to get the development version, you should go to their website.
[15:16] <induz> where can I find English to hindi dictionary
[15:16] <UnholyTerror> Have you tried System->Preferences->Monitors?
[15:17] <docmalphas> unholyterror, know what error 17 is on startup
[15:17] <induz> englsih to hindi dictionary
[15:17] <induz> /hindi
[15:17] <induz> /hindi
[15:17] <UnholyTerror> docmalphas, no - is it a GRUB error during boot?
[15:17] <induz> /hindi
[15:17] <Pici> induz: Please stop that.
[15:17] <docmalphas> yes
[15:17] <induz> I am trying to go to //hindi room
[15:18] <parolang> Hey everyone.  For some reason, my internet connection will sometimes stop working, but I won't be able to reconnect until I reboot the system.  Does anyone know why this is, what I should do to troubleshoot this?
[15:18] <UnholyTerror> ok, check in #grub for that.
[15:18] <Pici> induz: #ubuntu-in
[15:18] <induz> #ubuntu -in
[15:18] <dnivra> induz, /join #ubuntu-in

[15:18] <gambit_2> dr_willis: are you still there
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> gambit_2:  im in and out all day.. about ready to head out for the day
[15:19] <UnholyTerror> ok, does it still boot?
[15:19] <gambit_2> what about my problem
[15:19] <induz> thanks
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> gambit_2:  did you patebin the error message?
[15:19] <induz> PICI and dnivra Thanks
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> pastebin...
[15:19] <docmalphas> unholyterror, no not at all
[15:19] <dnivra> induz, np :)
[15:19] <Weazel> hmm, i copied some mouse cursors into the .icons folder, and i see them when i go to Themes>Customize>Pointer , but when i pick one, it doesn't change, what am i doing wrong ?
[15:20] <gambit_2> what is patbin?
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> gambit_2:  if its a bad file from the server. you may want to change the servers you are downloading from.
[15:20] <dnivra> !pastebin | gambit_2
[15:20] <UnholyTerror> ok, well then that problem needs to be fixed first.
[15:20] <BluesKaj> reenignEesreveR, or you could remove network manager and let /etc/network/interfaces handle it, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[15:20] <UnholyTerror> docmalphas, ok, well then that problem needs to be fixed first.
[15:20] <gambit_2> ok thanks
[15:20] <docmalphas> i figured thanks unholyterror
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> hmm.
[15:21] <queso> What should I use to configure compiz settings? For example, to change the default behavior/appearance of alt-tab window-switching?

[15:21] <queso> Dr_Willis: Thanks
[15:22] <Yahuda> I want to click Skype icon on my Docky which will execute this terminal command: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype How can i do that?
[15:22] <Weazel> Nevermind, found the problem, had to change the mouse theme in ccsm aswell
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> Yahuda:  make a script that launches that - then make the icon launch the script.
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> Yahuda:  would be one way
[15:23] <raheel> hi.
[15:23] <Yahuda> Dr_Willis: Thank you but how should I edit Skype.desktop
[15:23] <raheel> i have a usb pen drive.
[15:23] <maco> Yahuda: you can copy the /usr/share/applications/Skype.desktop to wherever docky puts its desktop files and edit the Exec= line
[15:23] <raheel> in ubuntu i have used testdisk and it detects it correctly but is not able to find any partitions
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Yahuda:  you dont have to..  you could make a script.. or you could make skupe.destop run the script
[15:24] <Yahuda> Maco: I edited Exec thing but it didn'T work.
[15:24] <raheel> am very disturbed
[15:24] <raheel> can any one help. need to recover my usb drive
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> the LD_PRELOAD  - is bash specific isent it? ive rarely needed to use ld_preload
[15:24] <Yahuda> Dr_Willis: I actually want all Skype icons work with that command.
[15:24] <raheel> have googled a lot
[15:24] <Yahuda> It helps with camera.
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> Yahuda:  i would make a script called 'start_skype' then make the  skype.desktop launch that.
[15:25] <Yahuda> Dr_Willis: Ah, great, thank you.
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  what filesystem is on the  usbdrive? how big is it?
[15:25] <bartek> Hi there. How can I downgrade an apt package to a previous version? Or better yet, upgrade to a newer version from a later Ubuntu version? Currently on 10.04
[15:25] <aaaa22222> offtopic
[15:25] <raheel> thanks for responding willis
[15:25] <aaaa22222> !offtopic
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> bartek:  you dont want to mixx 10.10 packages on a 10.04 machine. there may be ppa's for the packages for 10.04 however.
[15:26] <bartek> Dr_Willis: Where would I find these?
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> !ppa | bartek
[15:26] <raheel> my pendrive is 512MB and file system was fat before then i have also tried to format it to other file systems but to no avail
[15:26] <bartek> Dr_Willis: Thank you sir
[15:26] <bencahill> sacarlson: it wouldn't matter if it's the first partition, right?
[15:26] <raheel> currently i cannot even detect the correct file system
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  so you are not trying to reciover data for it - just try to get it 'working' ?
[15:26] <raheel> i have used test disk
[15:27] <raheel> well i want to get it working if it is possible.
[15:27] <bencahill> raheel: to see the file system types, use sudo fdisk -l
[15:27] <raheel> most of the time i get superblock error
[15:27] <raheel> with sudo fdisk it does not show
[15:28] <bencahill> raheel: ?
[15:28] <bencahill> raheel: sudo fdisk -l
[15:28] <sacarlson> bencahill: what /boot  no I don't think so
[15:28] <bhearsum> is it possible to set per-pointing device sensitivity in Ubuntu? I've got a trackpad, trackpoint, and external mouse -- all of which i want to have different sensitivities
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  those things can go bad after a time. You could use 'dd' to zero out the device then repartition it.
[15:28] <zefir_> #help
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  but it sounds like it might be dieing of old age.
[15:29] <zefir_> ?
[15:29] <raheel> excellent i am going to try it right now
[15:29] <bencahill> sacarlson: ok, just checking, b/c the gparted on that cd resized the partition just fine, but can't move it, so I have free space (80 something MBs) after it...one more, I suppose it should be a primary, and ext4?
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  i wouldent trust the thing with anything imporntant
[15:29] <raheel> but that old age thing may be u r right too
[15:29] <bencahill> !ask | zefir_
[15:29] <raheel> how to write zeroos with dd
[15:30] <bhearsum> dd if=/dev/zero
[15:30] <raheel> how to write zeroos with dd willis
[15:30] <bencahill> !patience | raheel
[15:30] <Dr_Willis>  raheel   sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXXXXXX    BE SURE TO get the right /dev/sdXXX entry
[15:30] <raheel> ok
[15:30] <raheel> sorry for that
[15:30] <sacarlson> bencahill: ya primary in this case should be ok as long as you don't already have 2 primary already
[15:31] <bencahill> sacarlson: no, why would it matter, you can have 4 right? or can grub only be on one of the first 2?
[15:31] <sacarlson> bencahill: I seen someone have a problem when he needed just one more but they were already all primary and I guess you can only have 4 of those or is it 3?
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> bencahill:  grub normally installs to the MBR of the hard drive. not a partition.
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> 4 primary partitions max.
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> 1 of shich can be a 'extended' that holds logicals...
[15:32] <Vicco> hello i have a problem with the game EMILIA PINBALL. i changed the games resolution and now i get a error prompt 'Couldn't set video mode: No video mode large enough for 1280x1024' is there a way to remove those settings i made ? ive already tried to reinstall the entire game did not work ... Got any idea? Where is the information of the game saved at? i checked several folders couldnt find any config files. and uninstalling and reinstal
[15:32] <raheel> after running the dd command sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb i get input/output error 1 record written
[15:32] <bencahill> Dr_Willis: right, just got confused :)
[15:32] <spencer> Hey guys, I'm wondering what it would take for me to set up my own IRC server/channel using a desktop computer running ubuntu server edition
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  try using fdisk, or gparted on the device now.
[15:32] <queso> If I want to wipe/shred the data on an entire harddrive, how do I do that?
[15:33] <rs0832> spencer, you need an ircd
[15:33] <spencer> queso look up a program called DBAN
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> queso:  theres secure deletion/shreding tools in the pacakge manager listings.
[15:33] <queso> spencer, Dr_Willis: thanks
[15:33] <bencahill> Dr_Willis: not quite, an extended partition is not a primary partition, and their naming starts at 5 (/dev/sda5, e.g.), and you can have multiple extended partitions, with their own logical partitions
[15:33] <raheel> sudo fdisk /dev/sdb says unable to read /dev/sdb
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> raheel:  sounds like the thing may be totally dead.
[15:34] <ubuntu> HAHA I'm using the Internet!
[15:34] <spencer> queso DBAN is a boot disk that when booted from, it securely nukes the hard drive. You need a livecd of another OS though afterwards
[15:34] <raheel> when i use testdisk program
[15:34] <sacarlson> bencahill: Dr_Willis: yes so I would only have a max of 3 so that the 4th you be sure you make a extended so that you can always add more
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> gotta run - bye all
[15:34] <raheel> it detects the disk size and also the type Kingston traveller
[15:34] <Vicco> hello i have a problem with the game EMILIA PINBALL. i changed the games resolution and now i get a error prompt 'Couldn't set video mode: No video mode large enough for 1280x1024' is there a way to remove those settings i made ? ive already tried to reinstall the entire game did not work ... Got any idea? Where is the information of the game saved at? i checked several folders couldnt find any config files. and uninstalling and reinstal
[15:34] <spencer> rs0832 what's an ircd? I'm really a lower-level user
[15:35] <queso> spencer: Why would I need a live cd after using dban?
[15:35] <raheel> when i scan it then it says read error on all the sectors.
[15:35] <rs0832> spencer, an irc daemon or irc server
[15:35] <bencahill> sacarlson: right :)
[15:35] <rs0832> spencer, they are pretty small programs
[15:35] <queso> spencer: Is there something that could be ran from within linux itself to accomplish the same thing?
[15:35] <spencer> queso it completely formats the drive, even the filetables
[15:35] <raheel> may be i should just give up. what is the verdict then
[15:35] <spencer> queso nope, you pop the disk in, and restart, booting from CD
[15:36] <queso> spencer: okay, thank you
[15:36] <spencer> queso it's worked wonders for me, though it is a little slow. Gets the job done thoroughly however
[15:37] <spencer> rs0832 so I just need a program? and then how do I get others to connect to it using their IRC clients?
[15:37] <rs0832> spencer, same way you join freenode
[15:37] <spencer> queso you did want everything shredded, right? the entire drive?
[15:38] <raheel> ok this forum was my last resort. should i stop trying?
[15:38] <rs0832> spencer, if you want to use freenode's ircd, it is here - http://dev.freenode.net/ircd-seven
[15:38] <spencer> rs0832 okay so just grab freenode's, then register a channel, right? that'll be based on what, my machine or theirs?
[15:38] <rs0832> raheel, sorry i missed your problem, do you mind telling me?
[15:39] <rs0832> spencer, you dont need to register a channel
[15:39] <Cryp71c> Anyone using Chrome 9 beta on ubuntu who has had issues / success with window.open() javascript (either on a page or by typing it in manually on the Console of the Developer's Tools) ?
[15:39] <rs0832> spencer, you install the irc server just like you install ubuntu server
[15:39] <rs0832> spencer, on your machine
[15:40] <spencer> rs0832 okay thanks, I was a bit confused on this. I usually only use IRCs, not make them
[15:40] <raheel> rs0832 well actually i have a usb i have used testdisk it detects the device successfull. but no partition table is visible or recovered. also fdisk -l does not show this disk but it is avail in /dev/sdb
[15:40] <Pici> spencer: If you're just looking to create a new channel on freenode, then you should join #freenode and ask how.  If you want your own entire IRC network for yourself/friends, then you'll need to run an ircd on your server. ircd-seven is probably not the one you want to use.
[15:41] <spencer> raheel do you need data off this drive, or do you just want the drive to be usable?
[15:41] <slide> Does anyone know what SATA PCI Cards will work? im looking at a  "Syba SD-SATA-4P Serial ATA150 4x Ports RAID Controller Card with SIL3114 Chipset"
[15:41] <queso> spencer: Yes, the entire drive
[15:41] <rs0832> spencer, :) as for creating channels, if you /join a channel that doesnt exist on a server, it is created and exists for as long as someone (a bot or a person) is still on that channel
[15:41] <spencer> pici got any personal favorites that are easy?
[15:41] <raheel> well i need the drive to be usable. but if i can get the data only thatis ok too
[15:41] <sacarlson> raheel: I guess as a last resort you can try dd on it to see the first 512 bytes
[15:42] <spencer> raheel you can plug it into a windows machine, and hit format, but that'll erase any data. It makes it usable however
[15:42] <rs0832> raheel, what did you format the usb stick with?
[15:42] <Pici> spencer: No, I don't really know much about setting up ircds, but I know that the one that freenode uses is rather specialized and not really designed or documented for a new user.
[15:42] <rs0832> raheel, or usb hd?
[15:42] <spencer> pici okay thanks, I gotta go, switching classes
[15:43] <raheel> well actually i connected it to my ubuntu machine and the next day it was not readable. i had formatted it as ext4 as i believe it is a better file sys.
[15:43] <raheel> it is a 512 mb usb drive
[15:43] <raheel> i want to use dd to see the 512 bytes as you suggested. what is nexr
[15:44] <raheel> What is next?
[15:44] <AnxiousNut_> how do i extract a .cwl.gz archive from the command line?
[15:44] <raheel> kindly just tell me what last command i may enter to try to recover it before i say good bye to it.
[15:44] <Pici> AnxiousNut_: gunzip file.cwl.gz
[15:45] <Swot> Hello, someone who can help me with installation of graphic  drivers? (sorry for my english)
[15:46] <AnxiousNut_> how do i extract a .cwl.gz archive from the command line?
[15:46] <rs0832> raheel, do you mean me?
[15:46] <Pici> AnxiousNut_: I just answered you.
[15:46] <raheel> yes rs0832
[15:46] <AnxiousNut_> Pici, sorry got disconnected
[15:46] <Pici> AnxiousNut_: gunzip file.cwl.gz
[15:46] <raheel> i was responding to you
[15:46] <rs0832> raheel, ok
[15:46] <sacarlson> raheel: this might be correct please check it : dd if=/dev/sdb of=./test.img bs=512 count=1
[15:46] <AnxiousNut_> okay thanks
[15:46] <raheel> ok
[15:47] <raheel> sacarlson ok am going to try it right now
[15:47] <youngblood> current version is 10.04. Can some one point me to the current doc for getting my verizon pay-as-you go usb760 modem working. There seem to be many solutions.
[15:48] <rs0832> sacarlson, dont you have to specify 'm' for the bs=512? or are you copying the first 512 bytes
[15:48] <raheel> well thanks alot but i got an input output error 0 records in 0 records out
[15:48] <rs0832> raheel, does the drive mount?
[15:49] <sacarlson> rs0832: I guess if it was megabytes but in this case a sector is 512bytes
[15:49] <rs0832> sacarlson, ok 512 bytes it is then
[15:50] <Swot> I want to backup xorg.conf before installation of restricted driver to graphic, but it write me the directory not exist
[15:50] <bencahill> sacarlson, could I use the original grub, and let it add the new /boot to it?
[15:50] <raheel> rs0832 well when i give the mount command it sleeps then says you must specify file system type
[15:50] <Swot> and the xorg.conf not exist
[15:51] <rs0832> raheel, and rebooting without the drive and then connecting it doesnt help?
[15:52] <raheel> i tried with -t vfat it says cant read superblock
[15:53] <slide> Can I use a SATA controller with RAID support with OUT the RAID? i just want more sata ports
[15:53] <raheel> when i reboot no change i tried it on another ubuntu system too and got the same result.
[15:53] <raheel> rs0832 sudo tail -f /var/log/messages shows high speed usb device  and storage device detected
[15:54] <raheel> rs0832 there is some super block error. a lot of peaple have faced this problem but it cannot be solved.
[15:54] <rs0832> raheel, what did you put on the drive?
[15:55] <raheel> rs0832 :) well really all i wanted was usb detectable on linux systems with ext4 file system thats it.
[15:55] <pc600> On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS I have a network card (atheros at8151) which support is introduced in 2.6.34  I updated to 2.6.35 by apt-get, but is there naything special I need to do to make it work?
[15:56] <anon33_> is there a way to use mount without having to create a permanent directory in /media?
[15:56] <bencahill> raheel, it sounds like a hardware problem to me, personally...
[15:56] <rs0832> raheel, ok.. a superblock is metadata of a filesystem (here ext4)
[15:56] <ph0n7r1c> any know how to have a virtual interface with a mac address
[15:56] <bencahill> bonjoyee, hi ya there :)
[15:56] <Pici> anon33_: You can create the mountpoint (nearly) anywhere, it doesn't need to be in /media
[15:56] <bencahill> sacarlson, oh, I didn't even see you go :)
[15:57] <rs0832> raheel, so if you dont have data on the drive you can try a reformat.. if you havent tried it already
[15:57] <sacarlson> bencahill: I didn't just had a ip change that takes time to reconect
[15:57] <bencahill> sacarlson, gotcha :)
[15:58] <anon33_> Pici: is there a way to make the directory temporary so that it isn't permanent?
[15:58] <raheel> rs0832 reformat!!! ok. doing. message is failed while writing reserved sector
[15:58] <Pici> anon33_: No, not really.
[15:58] <kpoorman> I'm sharing my mac's keyboard and mouse to my ubuntu desktop, how can I switch the keybindings so that cmd-c is copy instead of ctrl-c ?
[15:58] <raheel> bencahill i think you are right. may be the hardware just does not want to work@!@$#
[15:58] <rs0832> raheel, are you using gparted?
[15:58] <raheel> yes
[15:59] <bencahill> sacarlson, oh, you probably didn't get  my earlier question then :), here 'tis:
[15:59] <bencahill> sacarlson, could I use the original grub, and let it add the new /boot to it?
[15:59] <raheel> rs0832 i use it in gparted it does not even detect the /dev/sdb even though it is present in the /dev/sdb directory
[16:00] <raheel> strange!!!
[16:00] <rs0832> raheel, try to make two different partitions
[16:00] <rs0832> raheel, on the drive
[16:00] <anon33_> Pici: well, there's a way that nautilus does it. when i launch nautilus, it notices the drives i have installed and creates the mountpoints in /media properly
[16:00] <anon33_> Pici: and then when i remove those drives, those mountpoints go away. i'd like to do the same thing without having to launch nautilus
[16:00] <raheel> rs0832 but that is only possible if gparted detects the drive
[16:01] <rs0832> raheel, gparted doesnt detect? then how did you reformat
[16:01] <sacarlson> bencahill: i'm not sure I think something will have to change in grub,  but I guess a grub-install upgrade-grub will fix it?
[16:01] <sacarlson> bencahill no I think that the only change is in /etc/fstab
[16:02] <raheel> rs0832 i mentioned that after the reformating the result was "failed while writing reserved sector"
[16:02] <bencahill> sacarlson, grub-install to install the grub on the new partition to the mbr?
[16:02] <bencahill> sacarlson, i did update-grub, but it didn't see the new thing
[16:02] <sacarlson> bencahill:  oh root changes too so grub will have to reloaded
[16:03] <anon33_> Pici: what do you think?
[16:03] <rs0832> raheel, oh so it gparted cannot detect it after the attempted format?
[16:03] <bencahill> sacarlson, oh right, before that, I copied /boot* to new partition (sda3)
[16:03] <raheel> rs0832 yes
[16:03] <System_Default_0> How can I change my private IP address?
[16:03] <bencahill> sacarlson, I'm confused, how does the /boot partition know to load / on the usb?
[16:04] <sacarlson> bencahill: so if root has moved but it still has the same uuid I guess it's still just an /etc/fstab change
[16:04] <rs0832> raheel, something that *may* be useful - http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/
[16:04] <KM0201> System_Default_0: u do that through your router.
[16:04] <raheel> rs0832 sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb says no partitions use -I to force. i used and then this error comes
[16:04] <ubnoob> k
[16:04] <KM0201> System_Default_0: assuming you're talking about a network IP
[16:04] <bencahill> sacarlson, editing fstab...
[16:05] <sacarlson> bencahill:  grub only need to know where root is then from root it finds /etc/fstab that point to /boot
[16:05] <ubnoob> k
[16:05] <raheel> rs0832 any ways i wonder if you can help me in another mysterious problem with my mouse.
[16:05] <System_Default_0> Ok, thanks.
[16:05] <raheel> my mouse intermittently freezes
[16:05] <rs0832> raheel, o.0
[16:05] <bencahill> sacarlson, oh great, grub can't see the usb drive, I thought putting /boot on the hdd would fix that :-/
[16:05] <KM0201> System_Default_0: or are you talking about the IP from your provider?.. if thats the case, you can try releasing/reassigning, but you'll likely have to call them and ask
[16:05] <rs0832> raheel, mine too haha
[16:06] <bencahill> sacarlson, we have a problem here :)
[16:06] <sacarlson> raheel: you don't format a disk you format a partition,  I'm not sure that will work
[16:06] <raheel> ha ha
[16:06] <maxo> hey I'm having a strange problem where the window title doesn't update, eg. when browsing from one page to another in firefox. Is this a known problem, and is there a fix?
[16:06] <System_Default_0> no, i dont wanna change the public IP
[16:06] <rs0832> raheel, of late it stopped so i never tried to fixed it :)
[16:06] <raheel> sacarlson yeah you are right. it did not work
[16:06] <raheel> rs0832
[16:06] <raheel> rs0832 i wish mine would too :(
[16:06] <sacarlson> bencahill: and what problem is that?
[16:07] <rs0832> raheel, are you using 10.10?
[16:07] <bencahill> sacarlson, this is what i read you as: grub2 > finds /etc/fstab on device UUID > boots from /boot as referenced in that
[16:08] <raheel> rs0832 no 10.04
[16:08] <hartzie> wtf why isnt it possible to change easy the startday of the week?
[16:08] <rs0832> raheel, mine seemed to have stopped after installing 10.10
[16:08] <thinkfire> Anyone know how I can give access to my Xbox 360s WMC? I use WMC on a computer and a 360.  My computer has access and is able to play the files and whatnot, I give it permissions.  Whoever, I am not sure what username to give permissions to for the xbox, it can see the shared drives, just not anything inside them
[16:08] <bencahill> sacarlson, if that is correct, then the problem is that neither grub nor the bios can see the usb device, so that's no better than booting straight to the usb, right?
[16:08] <raheel> rs0832 after dmesg i get bad data from KBC-timeout
[16:09] <induz> I get this msg when i update ; E: Type 'multiverse' is not known on line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:09] <induz> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[16:09] <a> hi
[16:09] <sacarlson> bencahill: you have /boot mounted from you usb drive?  I'm not sure what drivers are needed in grub to get that far
[16:09] <Guest7532> i deleted System→Preferences menu
[16:09] <raheel> "explorer mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization throwing 3 bytes away"
[16:10] <raheel> rs0832 after dmesg i get bad data from KBC-timeout
[16:10] <Guest7532> how do i repair it?
[16:10] <rs0832> raheel, o.o hmm
[16:10] <ubnoob> I'm experimenting with the font on x-chat, how do you change the color?
[16:10] <raheel> psmouse.c resync failed issuing reconnect  request
[16:10] <induz> JRE 1.5 how can i install on ubuntu
[16:10] <raheel> rs0832 these r the messages i get. i googled but to no avail
[16:11] <induz> how can i install 1.5 JRE
[16:11] <sacarlson> bencahill: grub has just a few minimal drivers,  it can read sata and ide and sometimes pxe,  you should put /boot on your ide or sata disk
[16:11] <bencahill> sacarlson: if I could get grub to work with the usb drive, I wouldn't be using a /boot partition!
[16:11] <thinkfire> nobody in here has had any luck sharing files from ubuntu to the 360?
[16:11] <rs0832> raheel, usb or ps2 mouse ?
[16:11] <raheel> rs0832 ps2
[16:11] <raheel> rs0832 ps2 A4tech
[16:11] <bencahill> sacarlson: yes I know, I've tried them under the guidance of Jordan_U, and my device will not work!

[16:11] <induz> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=102426
[16:12] <sacarlson> bencahill: oh but they make bootable usb flash so grub2 must have that driver
[16:12] <bencahill> sacarlson: why is it better to have boot on hdd?
[16:12] <m0dular> hi
[16:12] <m0dular> private
[16:12] <Pici> induz: That thread is from 2005.
[16:12] <pupuserc1803c> hi
[16:12] <Pici> !java | induz
[16:12] <bencahill> sacarlson: yes, but apparently it doesn't support my stick
[16:12] <sacarlson> bencahill: well hdd is faster for one thing,  but I think it should still work
[16:13] <sacarlson> bencahill: did you use the uuid of the usb flash disk partition?
[16:13] <rs0832> raheel, best i can think of is trying a new mouse
[16:13] <induz> now I do: sudo apt-get update   I get this error : Type 'multiverse' is not known on line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:14] <Pici> induz: Please pastebin the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:14] <xangua> induz: delete the repositories you added in that old guide
[16:14] <raheel> rs0832 yeah i was also thinking the same. but what troubled me is i think this is not a problem with the hardware. there is something else wrong
[16:14] <raheel> rs0832 anyways i will get a new usb mouse tomorow
[16:15] <raheel> rs0832 and ofcourse a new usb pen drive too.

[16:20] <DreadPirate> KM - I haven't had any issues with it  until I did the dist-update
[16:20] <xangua> Primedeath: if you like it
[16:20] <rs0832> raheel, see this under 'corrupt superblock- fsck fails to run' - http://adminschoice.com/repairing-unix-file-system-fsck
[16:20] <queso> What tool can I use to wipe my hard drive from *within* the loaded OS?  For some reason DBAN isn't working.
[16:20] <Primedeath> Well, it is running the stock one on it at the moment.
[16:20] <rs0832> queso, none
[16:20] <KM0201> queso: if the drive is mounted.. it cannot be wiped clean
[16:20] <Primedeath> It looked like crap.
[16:20] <raheel> rs0832 ok am checking it out
[16:20] <queso> rs0832, KM0201: hmm. can you recommend another tool?
[16:21] <UBuxuBU> what is the command to install the ubuntu desktop on a minimal ubuntu install
[16:21] <KM0201> queso: parted magic live cd
[16:21] <rs0832> queso, you cannot wipe a program's data from a hd and use it at the same time :)
[16:21] <KM0201> queso: if you have an ubuntu live cd handy, that will work also, you can use Gparted on it.
[16:21] <Primedeath> What OS recommendations for netbooks would you suggest?
[16:21] <induz> here is the paste
[16:21] <induz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/546306/
[16:21] <xangua> UBuxuBU: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[16:22] <Pici> Primedeath: If you're expecting any other suggestion than Ubuntu, then you probably should ask in ##linux
[16:22] <queso> KM0201: okay, thank you
[16:22] <xangua> Primedeath: ubuntu¿
[16:22] <induz> can u see now
[16:22] <Primedeath> Heh.
[16:22] <Primedeath> True that.
[16:22] <KM0201> i love people who think they will paste something like that, in a channel this busy.. .boggles the mind.
[16:22] <Haar> hm
[16:22] <rs0832> queso, you can install wipe or secure delete (both in repos) on a live cd  and use it from there
[16:22] <Haar> Is there anyway to install a ubuntu partition without using a disc
[16:23] <rs0832> Haar, install a ubuntu partition?
[16:23] <Haar> My drive doesnt like burning ubuntu correctly
[16:23] <KM0201> Haar: can you boot a USB?
[16:23] <queso> rs0832: gparted has a wiping feature?
[16:23] <thinkfire> Is there a log somewhere that would show what usernames were denied access to certain files?  I am trying to figure out what username my Xbox 360 is trying to access the shared drive with so I can give it permissions.
[16:23] <KM0201> queso: it can format a drive, if thats what you're asking
[16:23] <rs0832> queso, i dont think so
[16:23] <induz> what is wrong??
[16:23] <snouffy> re
[16:23] <Pici> thinkfire: How are you sharing?
[16:23] <Haar> Yeah I can boot a USB, but i dont have that program on windows...
[16:24] <rs0832> queso, but wipe and secure delete have it
[16:24] <KM0201> Haar: well, download it?.. its like 6mb
[16:24] <Haar> good point
[16:24] <Pici> induz: line 50 is in error. Also you have repositories for breezy there, those have not been supported for a looong time.
[16:24] <rs0832> queso, actually they are meant for it  ;)
[16:24] <KM0201> !unetbootin | Haar
[16:24] <thinkfire> I have WMC on a PC and Xbox, the PC sees and uses the files just fine, Ive already given it permissions.  The xbox sees the shared drive via the WMC on it, but cannot access it
[16:24] <Haar> I know how
[16:24] <KM0201> Haar: lol ok
[16:24] <Haar> its just they always seem to be corrupt
[16:24] <induz> what should i do now
[16:24] <queso> rs0832: wipe and secure delete? I don't understand; to which program are you referring?
[16:25] <tiago__> oi
[16:25] <Haar> which is bad luck o nmy part
[16:25] <induz>  i get this error: E: Type 'multiverse' is not known on line 50 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:25] <KM0201> i wanna do a network install on a PC that can't boot USB or CD... haven't figured it out yet
[16:25] <Pici> induz: Delete line 50
[16:25] <induz> I am new to ubuntu..i am sorry
[16:25] <tiago__> alguem ai fala portuques
[16:25] <tiago__> ?
[16:25] <rs0832> queso, those are the names of two programs.. you can use whichever you like :)
[16:25] <Pici> thinkfire: WMC? Thats Windows Media Center, right? What does that have to do with Ubuntu?
[16:25] <IdleOne> !br | tiago__
[16:26] <thinkfire> Pici, I have WMC on a PC and Xbox, the PC sees and uses the files just fine via WMC, Ive already given it permissions.  The xbox sees the shared drive via the WMC on it, but cannot access it
[16:26] <queso> rs0832: oh, "wipe" and "secure delete" mean the same thing
[16:26] <mysticode> After apt-get upgrade and a reboot I have noticed that ps and top no longer display the username but instead just the UID.  Logging in works fine, pwck didn't report any problems and ls still correctly displays the username for the owner of files.  Any ideas?
[16:26] <UBuxuBU> xangua> thanks
[16:26] <queso> rs0832: Ooh, heh, they're names of actual programs,  Got ya
[16:26] <induz> How can I count Lines
[16:26] <thinkfire> Well I am hoping there is a log somewhere on ubuntu that would tell me what usernames it is denying file access to, so I can grant them permissions via ubuntu
[16:26] <induz> How do i know which is line 50???
[16:26] <thinkfire> Pici, Yes Windows Media Center
[16:26] <xangua> like i already told you delete that line and also delete the breezy repositorios you added
[16:26] <rs0832> queso, :) you can find them in the repositories under those names
[16:26] <xangua> like i already told you delete that line and also delete the breezy repositorios you added induz
[16:27] <Pici> induz: Its the line that just says 'multiverse universe' on it, enar the bottom of the file.
[16:27] <Pici> *near
[16:27] <induz> ok
[16:27] <KM0201> induz: look at that pastebin you gave us.. put a # sign in front of line 50
[16:27] <queso> rs0832: But how do I use them in a live CD?
[16:27] <Pici> thinkfire: Why are you asking in the Ubuntu support channel then?
[16:27] <raheel> going now will see you all tomorow. thanks rs0832,sacarlson for your time. bye
[16:27] <induz> ok
[16:27] <rs0832> queso: just install them using apt-get or aptitude
[16:27] <KM0201> induz: but why are you using a breezy repository on Karmic?...
[16:27] <thinkfire> The files are being denied access via ubuntu...
[16:27] <rs0832> raheel, bye:)
[16:27] <induz> how can I see i am Using breezy??
[16:28] <queso> rs0832: Oh, after enabling networking after booting from the CD?
[16:28] <youngblood> I just talk to a tech support person at verizon and they say that the USB760 Mobil Broadband is not supported on Linux. Does anyone have this working on ubuntu?
[16:28] <Pici> thinkfire: You said 'The xbox sees the shared drive via the WMC on it, but cannot access it'
[16:28] <thinkfire> So I thought there might be a log on ubuntu that tells me what usernames are being denied access so I can grant it permissions
[16:28] <arvind_khadri> induz, really??breezy??
[16:28] <KM0201> induz: well, your repository listing shows your using karmic.. but the very last repository in your pastebin(lines 51/52) are breezy repositories.. if you don''t need them, i would delete them
[16:28] <thinkfire> It cannot access it because ubuntu is denying it access
[16:28] <rs0832> queso, yes :) or download them to your drive and install them from there
[16:28] <Pici> thinkfire: But WMC doesn't run on Ubuntu.  I'm confused as to how Ubuntu comes into the mix here.
[16:28] <induz> I want to install JRE 1.5
[16:29] <queso> rs0832: Sorry, I don't understand. Download them to what drive? How can I download and install on a CD?
[16:29] <KM0201> induz: well you certainly don't need to add a breezy repo.. .what version of Ubuntu are you using
[16:29] <thinkfire> WMC is on the Xbox 360, it needs permissions to view the shared files
[16:29] <induz> on this link some one suggested that so i did that
[16:29] <induz>  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=102426
[16:29] <Pici> induz: I gave you the instructions about an hour ago.  You need *read* and *follow* the directions.
[16:29] <induz> Koala
[16:29] <Pici> induz: Not that link That link is 6 years old.
[16:29] <Pici> !java > induz
[16:30] <KM0201> induz: that repository is likely closed after 5yrs, and a release that has been EOL'd for at least 3.5yrs... you don't need that repo to install java
[16:30] <thinkfire> Pici, WMC is trying to access the shared ubuntu drive and ubuntu is not letting it, so I need to figure out what username it is trying to access it with so I can give it permissions, is there some type of log?
[16:30] <rs0832> queso, you can boot the live cd and install the program while on the live cd.. just like on a normal install.. it will install to the ramdisk (same place where the live cd is loaded)
[16:31] <Pici> thinkfire: Check /var/log/auth.log or there may be a logfile in /var/log/samba/
[16:31] <spencer> Okay back, that was a rather quick final. Does anyone know of any channels/IRC servers devoted to making your own IRC server? or does anyone here have any experience
[16:31] <rs0832> spencer, http://irchelp.org/irchelp/ircd/
[16:31] <spencer> queso, still having problems shredding your disk?
[16:31] <spencer> thanks rs0832
[16:31] <rs0832> spencer, see the section 'Setting up an ircd' there are links to lists of them
[16:32] <induz> I get this now
[16:32] <induz>  sudo update-java-alternatives -l
[16:32] <induz> java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
[16:32] <queso> spencer: Yes, DBAN didn't work for some reason, it gets stuck (I think trying to detect the hard drive)
[16:32] <induz> that means i am running Java -6
[16:32] <queso> rs0832: I have a burned copy of Maverick . . can I use that, or do I have to burn another CD?
[16:32] <spencer> queso what does it say, and do you have firmware drivers for your HDD/the drive you're trying to format?
[16:33] <rs0832> queso, yes thats fine
[16:33] <rs0832> queso, once you boot the cd, enable your internet connection, and then apt-get the program
[16:33] <induz> I get this now
[16:33] <induz>   sudo update-java-alternatives -l
[16:33] <induz>  java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
[16:34] <Pici> induz: Whats wrong with that?
[16:34] <queso> spencer: It gets stuck after looking for USB devices, something PCI . . but it doesn't do anything, it just sits there. I don't know about the firmware drivers?
[16:34] <queso> rs0832: I will try that, thank you
[16:34] <rs0832> induz, what are you trying to do? install java or update?
[16:34] <rs0832> queso, good luck :)
[16:34] <IdleOne> he has java installed
[16:35] <induz> Update if its in my  Koala
[16:35] <Pici> induz: Why do you need to update it?
[16:35] <queso> rs0832: Thanks :)
[16:35] <induz> I want to run Hindi dictionary for which i have to run JRE
[16:35] <rs0832> queso, :)
[16:35] <spencer> queso okay, and you're doing it another way now so I don't need to help you any more. Unless you still want to shred, burn, then shred the ashes of any private files
[16:35] <thinkfire> Pici,  No luck there, any other ideas?
[16:36] <induz> when I download from this link i get OXT file
[16:36] <induz> http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/download/674
[16:36] <C_Okie> hello
[16:36] <induz> what should i do with that OXT file
[16:37] <induz> I am not getting the right answer
[16:37] <Pici> thinkfire: You should have entries in /var/log/samba/log.smbd
[16:37] <dnivra> hello C_Okie
[16:37] <induz> I dont have a printer so its very hard to foollow
[16:37] <C_Okie> :)
[16:37] <induz> follow
[16:38] <queso> spencer: Thanks for your help, but I think the wipe package should sufficiently accomplish what I'm hoping to do. Probably DBAN didn't work because it's a laptop and might have a strange hardware setup, I'm not sure.
[16:38] <thinkfire> Pici, Only thing in there is a few lines about a CUPS server
[16:38] <smallfoot-> why isnt tor in ubuntu?
[16:38] <spencer> queso alright good luck
[16:38] <C_Okie> If my ubuntu live disks often gives me a "I/O error: Error reading bot disk" prompt when putting in the ubuntu cd with both live and installer, I need to reburn it correct?
[16:38] <rs0832> induz, if its a plugin/extension, you probably have to add it from inside an open office program or install it to a plugins folder or something
[16:38] <spencer> smallfoot need help setting up tor? PM me, it's a little bit harder than it looks
[16:38] <induz> but what plug-in
[16:38] <queso> spencer: thanks again for your help, if I need to do this again I will try DBAN first, because it seems like the perfect tool for the job. :)
[16:38] <induz>  its an extension
[16:38] <thinkfire> Pici, [2010/12/21 11:01:13,  0] printing/print_cups.c:103(cups_connect)
[16:38] <thinkfire>   Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 - Connection refused
[16:38] <thinkfire> Couple lines of those, thats it

[16:51] <KM0201> C_Okie: not really... i think its considerably better
[16:51] <dnivra> C_Okie, many packages upgraded to newer vesions, many bugs fixed and much more. it's a whole new version.
[16:51] <induz> here are  both the links:
[16:52] <spencer> c_0kie doesn't it also have different repos packages?
[16:52] <KM0201> C_Okie: when a distro releases every 6mo, you can't expect leaps and bounds improvements... most are very gradual, then every so often, you'll see a major change.

[17:00] <dnivra> Guest15230, you need to have the packages else offline install is not possible.
[17:00] <induz> Thanks guys for all your Help

[17:00] <jocrawfo> hello everyone, I just installed a fresh copy of 10.10 on my machine however it is not seeing my Logitech Bluetooth USB Dongle.  10.04 saw this device just fine.  I checked dmesg and it is listed there and also listed under lsusb.  However when I open the bluetooth preferences it says no device found.  Is there a way to make Gnome see the device?
[17:00] <rs0832> queso, yes
[17:00] <thinkfire> There is no ushare support channel.  Any suggestions?
[17:00] <Guest15230> dnivra: It's not in cache on offline machine...I am not that stupid.
[17:01] <rs0832> Guest15230, you can try this
[17:01] <dnivra> Guest15230, do you have the packages in any machine? if so just copy it to /var/cache/apt/archives of that machine with no internet access.
[17:01] <jocrawfo> ahh looks like a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685608
[17:01] <Guest15230> dnivra: Dependencies?
[17:02] <dnivra> Guest15230, then you should be able to install without issues.

[17:03] <rs0832> Guest15230, and then get the deb's from /var/cache/apt
[17:04] <BluesKaj> Swot, which driver ?
[17:04] <rs0832> queso, when it is done, re wipe with -f -c -r

[17:05] <rs0832> Guest15230, sure :)
[17:07] <rs0832> queso, that will wipe again, faster
[17:07] <BluesKaj> Swot, that is an old driver , you should install the recommended driver for you card in settings / hardware
[17:07] <jocrawfo> wtf why would support for a device be lost from 10.04 -> 10.10 in bluez are they not doing any regression testing?

[17:16] <Guest15230> sam-_-: Or maybe I didn something wrong. Most probably.
[17:17] <rs0832> Guest15230, you are trying to copy all the debs ?
[17:17] <sam-_-> Guest15230, also find has an exec parameter. use this

[17:18] <Goliath> do i need to put alsa in the daemon array?
[17:18] <aethelrick> sebastiaan, make sure that your graphics settings do not exceed the capabilities of your TV. e.g. You may be running at a resolution that is "too big" for your screen to display. First thing is to find out your TVs capabilities.
[17:18] <Swot> I reinstall the drivers.. but nothing changed :/
[17:19] <Swot> *reinstalled
[17:19] <aethelrick> sebastiaan, next thing is to check the settings in ubuntu and compare
[17:19] <sebastiaan> aethelrick: I know that the resolution of my tv is 1366x768
[17:19] <System_Default_0> Where can I find a PSP emulator for Ubuntu 9.10?
[17:19] <i_is_broke> Swot, what driver?
[17:19] <rs0832> Guest15230, ah.. use the exec like sam-_- said
[17:19] <aethelrick> sebastiaan, also check refresh rate
[17:20] <sam-_-> Guest15230, also xargs is an option. you can see examples in the man page of find
[17:20] <morphles> so i have quite slow internet connection, but i need to make dist upgrade, since i have a lot of packages installed my dist upgrade downloads size is >4Gb so that would take me like 10 hrs to download and than probably about 2 hrs to install, so i was thinking maybe there is a way to get list of all needed package and dowlnoad at least big chun of them on other comp (also running ubuntu) so that i could bring them home and update everything, any ideas?
[17:20] <EvilRoey> i_is_broke:  hahahaha, great nick
[17:20] <Swot> i_is_broke, On graphic.. i have Geforce 250 gts

[17:21] <i_is_broke> Swot, how did you install the driver, i used the additional driver under system,admin.
[17:22] <EvilRoey> mr-rich:  windows 7 is an important part of business operations today, powering nearly everything from business phones to desktops to data centers.  Why are you pouring the hate on it?
[17:22] <sebastiaan> aethelrick: ok
[17:22] <EvilRoey> mr-rich:  just playing devil's advocate; I hate Windows, personally.
[17:22] <jrib> morphles: just do it before you go to sleep :)  I don't know how you could do it with update-manager.  apt-get has --print-uri so maybe you could *start* an upgrade the old debian way but have apt-get only print the uri's, save that, wget them somewhere, then drop then in /var/cache/apt/archives/, and finally do an upgrade the normal way (using update-manager).  Does that make sense?
[17:22] <Guest15230> sam-_-: Thanks sam.
[17:22] <Swot> i_is_broke,  Me not :/ I download old driver from some page
[17:22] <BluesKaj> Swot,  alt+F2 , gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , remove the lines with repositories : deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu maverick main. there will be 2 of them , then save the file and in the terminal sudo apt-get update, Then in hardware find the recommended driver and install

[17:25] <jrib> jorick: does xubuntu use network-manager?
[17:25] <aethelrick> sebastiaan, OK... I assume that's either DVI or VGA in that case. DVI has one flat pin and a bunch of round ones, VGA pins are all round.
[17:25] <morphles> im prety sure of what im doing :), well i gues ill try to check some manuals of dpkg and apt and stuff :)

[17:26] <jrib> jorick: don't see what anywhere?  Network manager?

[17:26] <morphles> not an option for me since my com is near bed and ill be without sleep  if i leave it overnight :)

[17:31] <balleyne> Desktop effects are disabled after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, and it fails when I try to re-enable them in Apperances after a Search for Driver dialogue appears. I don't have any fancy graphics cards, just an on-board Intel card that's been working with Compiz since 2007. Suggestions?
[17:32] <aethelrick> sebastiaan, some on that thread say they got it to work with the catalyst driver... but it looks hit and miss at best
[17:32] <sebastiaan> aethelrick: I did install the catalyst driver and have the same problems as in the thread on the forum
[17:34] <sebastiaan> aethelrick: however, my graphics card is not the one they discuss in the thread :)
[17:35] <sebastiaan> aethelrick: itś ithout the XFX

[17:46] <prince_jammys> llutz: i was thinking apt-get source, that's it.
[17:46] <llutz> Guest15230: prince_jammys you might setup "Dir::Cache::archives" to a different dir, but you may run into trouble later
[17:46] <joeoshawa> MotherMother: To install them, simply go to your Ubuntu Panel > System > Preferences > Appearance and either drag a theme using drag-and-drop intro the dialog box
[17:46] <Swot> Hello, where i can view the version of my nvidia driver?
[17:47] <prince_jammys> llutz: nah, i wouldn't do that. ''apt-get source xterm'' does download to $PWD
[17:47] <llutz> prince_jammys: source gets sources, not debs
[17:47] <prince_jammys> you don't say
[17:47] <llutz> prince_jammys: so its a different thing from apt-get install -d

[17:53] <joeoshawa> glad i could help
[17:53] <i_is_broke> mr-rich, have used several, and i would say qemu-kvm is the easiest to install.
did you install the v.260 driver?
[17:53] <srinivas> tell me how to install .exe files
[17:53] <srinivas> using wine
[17:53] <sam-_-> afroman, you can only create 4 prim. if you don't create any logical
[17:53] <BluesKaj> Swot, what about the recommended driver in hardware?
[17:53] <sam-_-> afroman, one prim. part. is sort of a container for the logical ones
[17:53] <joeoshawa> swot you need to go to system administration additional drivers
[17:54] <Swot> paq7512, blueskaj, joeoshawa, i installed the driver from recommended driver
[17:54] <i_is_broke> BluesKaj, i asked him about that earlier.
[17:54] <joeoshawa> install the nvidia proprietary drivers
[17:54] <Swot> I installed now.
[17:54] <joeoshawa> then its your xorg.conf
[17:54] <joeoshawa> edit it and add the resolution you want
[17:54] <Swot> how?
[17:54] <sam-_-> srinivas, you need to install the kernel headers
[17:54] <joeoshawa> i will show you mine for example
[17:54] <i_is_broke> use the nvidia conf under admin and adjust it.
[17:54] <paq7512> can you guys show me show to keep my gpu fan speed at 60%
[17:54] <Super>  /join #shebanglabs
[17:55] <srinivas> how?
[17:55] <axisys> any idea how to fix this ?
[17:55] <axisys> ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/08febc85-9ce2-40ac-a354-e006f709a586 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
[17:55] <axisys> thats the root device..
[17:55] <BluesKaj> Swot, you have to remove the ppa driver you installed earlier from the site you posted
[17:55] <chaospsychex> can someone tell me why i can access a partition once i have mounted it?
[17:55] <Swot> BluesKaj, i removed it
[17:55] <sam-_-> srinivas, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[17:55] <rs0832> chaospsychex, o.0
[17:56] <afroman> sam-_-: I have 1 prim with vista recovery, 1 prim with ntfs back up, those 2 I can't touch or change. now I want to make a clean install of 10.10 & win 7, that means 2 prim and logical for swap. how can I fix this?
[17:56] <i_is_broke> axisys what was you doing prior to this event?
[17:56] <joeoshawa> sudo gedit /etc/xorg.conf i believe
[17:56] <Aditya_> I am not able to install PIDGIN
[17:56] <Swot> i_is_broke, how i can use the nvidia conf under admin?
[17:56] <axisys> i_is_broke: i just rebooted the box after the linux image upgrade that just came in
[17:56] <joeoshawa> i had the same problem i have a monitor that goes 1680x1050 but no resolution like that
[17:57] <i_is_broke> Swot, BluesKaj just told you you have to delete the one you installed earlier.
[17:57] <afroman> sam-_-:  can I install 10.10 and swap on 2 logical under 1 prim and win 7 on 1 prim?
[17:57] <joeoshawa> careful editing xorg tho you could bork your x11
[17:57] <Swot> i_is_broke, And i just answered ;) I removed it :)
[17:57] <nmvictor> how do i share my broadband internet connection in ubuntu?
[17:57] <sam-_-> afroman, i think you can convert to logical in vista
[17:57] <i_is_broke> axisys, have you tried booting to recovery and fixing packages?
[17:57] <i_is_broke> Swot, have you rebooted?
[17:57] <xorwhy> How do I switch input for z and x?
[17:58] <Swot> i_is_broke, yes
[17:58] <afroman> sam-_-: U mean install windows on logical? is it possible?
[17:58] <i_is_broke> Swot, none of the video drivers will work with out rebooting.
[17:58] <sam-_-> afroman, yes. that should work. but win7 may need 2 prim
[17:58] <joeoshawa> can you pastebin your xorg.conf just do a find file
[17:58] <sam-_-> afroman, of course.
[17:58] <axisys> i_is_broke: how do I get to the grub? my timeout is `0'
[17:59] <Swot> i_is_broke, I rebooted ;)
[17:59] <sam-_-> afroman, boot up vista. use the partitioning tool
[17:59] <sam-_-> afroman, right click on the drive and see if you can convert to logical
[17:59] <afroman> what about ubuntu on logical, is it possible?
[17:59] <i_is_broke> axisys, when you boot, try hitting the escape key really fast.
[17:59] <Swot> This is my xorg

[18:01] <i_is_broke> and tried to tell him
[18:01] <afroman> sam-_-: what about ubuntu on logical, is it possible?
[18:01] <Swot> joeoshawa, i go in, but i cant set it

[18:03] <joeoshawa> x server display settings
[18:03] <joeoshawa> sorry configuration
[18:03] <joeoshawa> what is the max res for your monitor
[18:03] <Swot> 1360x1024
[18:04] <Swot> refresh rate 75
[18:04] <Swot> or 72 i dont know now
[18:04] <Guest15230> It says it couldn't find package by regex.
[18:04] <joeoshawa> then it should be there
[18:04] <Swot> it isnt here
[18:04] <llutz> Guest15230: " apt-get build-deb xxx" will pull the -dev packages need to build the package you specified. i doubt thats what you want/need
[18:04] <nmvictor> do i have to acquire a router to be able to share my broadband connection within my homenetwork?
[18:04] <joeoshawa> in x server display configuration?
[18:05] <afroman> sam-_-: do I actually need swap?
[18:05] <sam-_-> afroman, if you run diskmgmt.msc in windows you should be able to convert
[18:05] <Guest15230> llutz: Sorry my mistake it was build-dep.
[18:05] <sam-_-> afroman, it will tell you
[18:05] <Swot> joeoshawa, yes, it isnt here
[18:05] <bastidrazor> !swap | afroman: read up on it.
[18:05] <sam-_-> afroman, how much ram have you got?
[18:05] <Guest15230> llutz: or was it. let me check.
[18:05] <craigbass1976> I'm writing a php script that needs to write to a thumb drive.  Is there some consistent way to know where a thumb drive will be mounted?
[18:05] <Swot> higher resolution than 640xblabla
[18:05] <coder2> wireless driver broadcom cannot getting installed
[18:05] <llutz> Guest15230: build-dep  is right, it does what i said
[18:05] <afroman> sam-_-: 4 gb ram
[18:06] <bastidrazor> nmvictor: if you have two NIC cards it is possible to share to one other computer.
[18:06] <sam-_-> afroman, i have 2gb and never needed a swap but it depends on what you are doing with your laptop
[18:06] <C_Okie> hi
[18:06] <sam-_-> afroman, then you probably won't need swap
[18:06] <Guest15230> So I have the downloaded packages in apt's archives still i get the regex error. What can cause this?
[18:06] <sam-_-> afroman, btw. you can create a swapfile afterwards if you need it
[18:06] <bastidrazor> afroman: swap is needed if you plan on suspending/hibernating
[18:06] <F3RR1S> !swap
[18:06] <afroman> sam-_-: not much, the usual. internet surfing, watching movies, download...
[18:07] <sam-_-> afroman, then you won't need a partition.
[18:07]  * [0_0_0] Has Returned
[18:07] <sam-_-> afroman, but the performance may be worse.
[18:07] <i_is_broke> Swot, ok try this, un-activate your nvidia from additional drivers, reboot, activate your driver then reboot. and then see if you can adjust it.
[18:07] <sam-_-> afroman,  i do the same things with flashplayer and all that stuff. 2g no swap. never had problems
[18:08] <afroman> bastidrazor: sam-_-: although I sometimes do put the pc in suspend
[18:08] <Swot> i_is_broke, I tried this, but i try this again, wait about 1-2 minutes
[18:08] <Lenoob> Hello i have this error on make http://pastebin.com/XQphmKyz what is it ?
[18:08] <sam-_-> afroman,  doesn't matter
[18:08] <bastidrazor> afroman: you will need swap if you suspend
[18:08] <sam-_-> afroman,  or are you talking about hibernation?
[18:08] <joeoshawa> you have no device section
[18:08] <sam-_-> bastidrazor, no you don't
[18:08] <C_Okie> I used a program called MD5 to check the checksum and it read it to be alright. Althugh I called md5 from a live install and it said that it was wrong. If the checksums wrong and  I still get an I/O errr when boting up, how is this pssible?
[18:08] <afroman> sam-_-: I never know the difference :P
[18:09] <Guest15230> llutz: Or maybe I am just stupid. Should I try to install it using apt or dpkg?
[18:09] <joeoshawa> nm
[18:09] <tate1711> have a question - trying to set up ubuntu 10.10 with a static ip address of 192.168.2.50, gateway is .2.2 at that address, have it set up in interfaces file as iface eth0 inet static, address as stated, netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway as stated, I restarted networking and it won't assign that address to that pc, what am I missing?
[18:09] <llutz> Guest15230: install a bunch of .deb-files? use dpkg
[18:09] <sam-_-> afroman, in suspend the comp. will still use power. not in hibernation.
[18:09] <afroman> sam-_-: and by the way I should have mentioned that I don't have windows installed, I'm planing 2 thou
[18:09] <KGF2009> Anyone have tips for dual-booting WIndows XP professional and Ubuntu 10.*?
[18:09] <bastidrazor> sam-_-: suspend will suspend to ram.. hibernate will write to disk and shutdown
[18:09] <Guest15230> llutz: thanks.
[18:10] <F3RR1S> doesn't ubuntu use the entire /swap partition for swap?
[18:10] <bastidrazor> sam-_-: both use swap
[18:10] <i_is_broke> KGF2009, easier to install windows first.
[18:10] <sam-_-> bastidrazor, that's the reason why you don't need swap for suspend
[18:10] <joeoshawa> my screen section is much different then yours you could try and copy it and alter it but you will risk messing up x and having to do everything from command line
[18:10] <F3RR1S> or as much as is needed upto the total size of /swap?
[18:10] <Lenoob> Hello i have this error on make http://pastebin.com/XQphmKyz what is it ?
[18:10] <joeoshawa> do you want me to paste bin it
[18:10] <sam-_-> bastidrazor, trust me :-)
[18:11] <KGF2009> i_is_broke, should I re-install windows if it's already taking up the whole drive or just resize the partition? Which is quicker?
[18:11] <bastidrazor> sam-_-: now that i reread my statement.. you're right.
[18:11] <joeoshawa> back up windows and resize
[18:11] <i_is_broke> KGF2009, resize, just back everything up first.
[18:11] <sam-_-> bastidrazor, i know :-)
[18:11] <nmvictor> bastidrazor: i am reading a tutorial where ICS can be done without two NIC, but i am not quite understanding... is this feasible really, the tutorial is at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing , have a look at 'Wireless Ad-Hoc connection sharing scenario" section, i have my two laptops share with a wireless network, one(the one am using) has a broadbad IC, is it possible to provide the IC to the other laptop?
[18:11] <afroman> bastidrazor: sam-_-: either way, we come to the same question, can I install ubuntu 10.10 on logical?
[18:11] <KGF2009> i_is_broke, thanks.
[18:12] <joeoshawa> swot you there
[18:12] <F3RR1S> KGF2009, yes.... I have run multiple linux flavors with xp.... never had a problem... install windows, create new partition during installation and then install grub,
[18:12] <bastidrazor> nmvictor: yes youc an use wireless and the wired NIC to share internet.
[18:12] <sam-_-> afroman, as i told you before. yes you can install ubuntu 10.10 on a logical
[18:13] <mawst> I need some ideas, I have a drive in my fstab that's not mounting at boot (I get a message that it can't find the drive at boot). I'm using the uuid in fstab... Is there something to maybe make it wait longer for the drive to show... or?
[18:13] <i_is_broke> afroman, you will get some complaints about booting a logical drive but yes it will work, i use it that way right now.
[18:13] <histo> mawst: what kind of drive is it? and are you sur eyou have the right uuid
[18:14] <mawst> Here's my fstab: http://pastebin.com/WHZBKtYY
[18:14] <nmvictor> bastidrazor: sorry, you missed something, its not a wired NIC, its just a mobile broadband internet connection
[18:14] <jbsoum> hey, i was wondering if someone could helpw ith something
[18:14] <afroman> sam-_-: ok then. I'm going 2 do it this way. 2 logical, 1 for ubuntu and 1 for swap, then 1 prim for win 7
[18:14] <mawst> I'm pretty sure, histo. I used the blkid -o value -s UUID to get the UUID.
[18:14] <mawst> It's a 1tb ntfs drive
[18:14] <histo> mawst: just sudo blkid to get the value
[18:14] <Aditya_> I am not able to install PIDGIN
[18:14] <afroman> i_is_broke: complaints from what?
[18:15] <sam-_-> afroman, you can try. but win 7 may use 2 prim.
[18:15] <F3RR1S> jbsoum, what is up?
[18:15] <histo> mawst: and does /media/terabit directory exist?
[18:15] <joeoshawa> i am trying to thin client an old computer for my daughter if anyone has any experience with dhcp3 please help
[18:15] <mawst> Yep./
[18:15] <afroman> sam-_-: why 2 prim?
[18:15] <mawst> IT does
[18:15] <i_is_broke> afroman, i just said, about it not liking booting from a logical drive but it wont mater.
[18:15] <mawst> I have the right uuid too
[18:15] <sam-_-> afroman, one little one for recovery. but i'm not sure
[18:15] <sam-_-> afroman, also you may be able to delete the small one
[18:16] <sam-_-> afroman, but again  not sure
[18:16] <C_Okie> why would my hash be fine and still get a  "I/O error", "error reading bood CD"
[18:16] <afroman> sam-_-: I'll give it a try and I'll let U know
[18:16] <histo> mawst: mawst what if you issue a sudo mount -a after the system is up does it mount the drive?
[18:16] <mawst> histo, no.
[18:16] <sam-_-> afroman, do a backup before :-)
[18:16] <histo> mawst: then the problem is with your line in fstab
[18:17] <histo> mawst: probably the ntfs-3g
[18:17] <mawst> histo, whenI mount -a I get Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': No such file or directory
[18:17] <C_Okie> if my disc worked at one point it seems weird it does not now
[18:17] <afroman> sam-_-: but can I change the back up partition into logical without formating the partition?
[18:17] <histo> mawst: try ntfs instead of ntfs-3g
[18:17] <sam-_-> afroman, yes. should be possible.
[18:18] <sam-_-> afroman, try in windows vista with diskmgmt.msc
[18:18] <jbsoum> f3rr1s: can you help me with a dual boot setup?
[18:18] <afroman> sam-_-: I don't have windows installed
[18:18] <mawst> Ok, tried switching to NTFS, here's the error I get histo, http://pastebin.com/Ek36K4Y7
[18:18] <F3RR1S> jbsoum, which os's are you installing?
[18:18] <afroman> the only os installed is ubuntu
[18:18] <BernardV> Ubuntu (linux) rocks! Got everything running on my Advantech TREk-743 embedded device. The geode LX video, internal GPS, touchscreen etc.. Ran into some x-y problems, like only 4 rs232 devices defined by default, but reading did the job!
[18:18] <mawst> Same error with mount -a or mount /dev/sdb1 /media/terabit
[18:19] <jbsoum> i have win7 and ubuntu 10.10 installed
[18:19] <histo> mawst: nvm ntfs-3g is correct
[18:19] <cysioland> HELP! After updating NVIDIA drivers I can't launch X server
[18:19] <histo> mawst: try sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/terabit
[18:19] <mawst> Same error.
[18:19] <mawst> I'm starting to wonder if the partition is bad
[18:19] <F3RR1S> jbsoum, check my pm
[18:20] <afroman> jbsoum: how did U do it?
[18:20] <cysioland> HELP! After updating NVIDIA drivers I can't launch X server
[18:20] <mawst> I can mount it in nautilus, this is weird
[18:20] <sam-_-> !patience |cysioland
[18:20] <ignitedcoding> Anyone have much luck setting up a mail server on unbuntu? Or with this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer ? I feel in over my head here. Postfix install was a bit confusing, and the 'easy' dovecot install is not working.
[18:20] <histo> mawst: what's the output of sudo fdisk -l
[18:20] <sam-_-> !ask>cysioland
[18:20] <jbsoum> well ok, chaospsychex recommended a line for me, so ill see if it worked, restarting brb
[18:20] <histo> mawst: also unmount the parititon from nautilus before trying to mount it in console
[18:20] <mawst> oh I guess nautilus won'tmount it anymore either.
[18:20] <mawst> heh
[18:20] <mawst> graaah
[18:20] <BernardV> ignitedcoding: There are some good how to's on www.howtoforge.com
[18:21] <histo> mawst: i'd install testdisk
[18:21] <cysioland> awww, maaaan
[18:21] <luxgeek> Anyone know what the
[18:21] <luxgeek> Sorry...wrong chat.
[18:21] <Mortesins93> hello
[18:21] <cysioland> nobody can't help me
[18:21] <Swot> i_is_broke, Hm.. now im on windos
[18:21] <mawst> histo: http://pastebin.com/WtUauMN6
[18:21] <Swot> i_is_broke, Ubuntu has not graphic
[18:22] <sam-_-> cysioland you never rly. asked us anything
[18:22] <ignitedcoding> Getting this error: http://pastebin.com/xUDYkqBB
[18:22] <ignitedcoding> BernardV: I'll check it out
[18:22] <Swot> i_is_broke, i can only login in text mode :/
[18:22] <histo> mawst: what is the error you get when you try sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/terabit
[18:22] <cysioland> I asked
[18:22] <afroman> jbsoum: how did U do the install of win 7 and ubuntu?
[18:22] <histo> !dualboot | afroman
[18:22] <cysioland> After updating NVIDIA drivers I can't launch X server. How to fix that?
[18:22] <sam-_-> cysioland, afaik you just stated sth.
[18:23] <sam-_-> cysioland, ok. maybe i missed it
[18:23] <mawst> histo, http://pastebin.com/Ek36K4Y7
[18:23] <Swot> cysioland, Me too :/
[18:23] <axisys> i_is_broke: any idea what command to run now that I am in rescue mode ? i need to modify the fstab and change the UUID with actual raid device /dev/md1 which is root
[18:23] <jbsoum> ok, i restarted, and windows 7 bootloader still comes first
[18:23] <sam-_-> cysioland, did you try to but  in "rescue" mode?
[18:23] <afroman> jbsoum: I mean the partitions of the disk?
[18:23] <BernardV> ignitedcoding: http://bit.ly/aM1ANB <-- that one for example
[18:23] <histo> mawst: uhm. I'd run testdisk on /dev/sdb1
[18:24] <histo> mawst: see if you can repair the partition
[18:24] <cysioland> How? ESC in GRUB?
[18:24] <mawst> I'm really close to formatting this drive into ext4 and being donewithit
[18:24] <sam-_-> cysioland, isn't there an entry that says recovery mode?
[18:24] <jbsoum> first partition is windows, 2nd is linux
[18:24] <jbsoum> if i recall correctly
[18:25] <cysioland> GRUB automatically loads ubuntu
[18:25] <jbsoum> let me sudo -fdisk
[18:25] <mawst> Well, thanks for your help histo. I think something is wrong witht he parition table. I'll have to check itout in a windows machine.
[18:25] <mawst> bbiab
[18:25] <afroman> jbsoum: U have only 2 partitions? both primary?
[18:25] <sam-_-> cysioland, yes but you have 10 sec. to select a different option
[18:26] <cysioland> How to do that? GRUB don't shows on screen
[18:26] <C_Okie> can someone please assist me
[18:27] <bastidrazor> cysioland: hold shift after POST
[18:27] <sam-_-> cysioland, When Ubuntu boots, you normally briefly see a screen that says “GRUB loading. please wait… Press Esc to enter the menu…”
[18:27] <C_Okie> I am getting different hashes fr m5 fr different programs...
[18:27] <C_Okie> *for
[18:27] <jbsoum> ok sda1 is windows ntfs
[18:27] <jbsoum> sda2 is linux
[18:27] <cysioland> I entered recovery mode
[18:27] <histo> C_Okie: what do you mean?
[18:27] <jbsoum> sda3 is a shared partition for both os's
[18:28] <cysioland> And I have recovery menu on screen. What I must select?
[18:28] <cysioland> failsafeX?
[18:28] <histo> !who | cysioland
[18:28] <cysioland> !tab
[18:29] <sam-_-> cysioland, yes or something that says reconfigure X
[18:29] <cysioland> sam-_-: I have selected failsafeX
[18:30] <sam-_-> cysioland, ok
[18:30] <jbsoum> windows was installed first, then ubuntu, then when i tried to reboot, ubuntu wouldnt show up, so i had to use easybcd in windows to give me a grub menu, so the way things work now, windows 7 takes me to grub2, and grub2 takes me to linux, i just want to get rid of the windows 7 bootloader so i can boot windows and ubuntu from grub2
[18:31] <SamruaiAlba> Anyone have any idea how to get the Broadcom BCM94318MPG wireless card working under Natty?
[18:31] <chaospsychex> how many primary partitions can be on a single hd?
[18:31] <SamruaiAlba> 1
[18:31] <sam-_-> !natty > SamruaiAlba
[18:32] <cysioland> sam-_-: What select: Boot in low quality, graphics reconfiguration, recognising error reason, terminal login or x restart?
[18:32] <cysioland> !natty
[18:33] <sam-_-> cysioland, try graphics reconfiguration
[18:33] <afroman> jbsoum: good luck. I know this room is the best and they will help U. in the meantime, I have to give my installation a trial 2.
[18:33] <afroman> thx everyone for ur help
[18:33] <afroman> peace
[18:33] <cysioland> sam-_-: Typical config, new for current device or backup

[18:34] <afroman> joeoshawa: say what? thx?
[18:34] <C_Okie> How can I be assured a md5 checksum program like hashtab got the hash right?

[18:34] <joeoshawa> it is rare for me
[18:34] <C_Okie> It shows as the iso I downloaded has the wrong checksum
[18:34] <sam-_-> cysioland, try new. but i'm not sure since i don't know what went wrong exactly
[18:34] <bencahill__> hey sam-_-, you got any ideas about usb booting? my usb device isn't supported by the bios or grub, is there any way I can still boot to it?
[18:34] <joeoshawa> i come in help a bunch of people nobody helps me
[18:34] <joeoshawa> oh well
[18:34] <joeoshawa> whatever

[18:35] <sam-_-> bencahill__, oh two computers. i get it
[18:35] <Beolex> aww i miss having beolex
[18:35] <luxurymode> Need some major help. Running a Dell XPS/Dimension 630i. It came with "SATA 2 RAID 0 With Dual 500GB Hard Drives." I have installed a new, third non-raided drive and installed Ubuntu on it. So now I have Windows on the original hard drive and Ubuntu Linux on the new HD. When I get to the boot menu where I can select an OS, if I select windows I get an error: "No such drive, no such disk." Also, strangely in the first place, in
[18:35] <luxurymode> order to even get to the bootloader menu I have had to disable ALL ports under the RAID config. Unless I do this, I will just get to a never-ending blinking cursor. I have tried every conceivable CMOS config and nothing else works. Tried setting port 3 (the new HD w/ Ubuntu) to first hard disk boot priority. Tried disabling all other ports and enabling the Ubuntu HD port and vice versa. I have some pictures of boot up: first on
[18:35] <luxurymode> e is strange error i get after messing with CMOS to finally get ubuntu install to work. http://imgur.com/5sqJa then boot menu: http://imgur.com/TWtLq then error: http://imgur.com/TJ1mS. Also, please note that I can actually access all files from the raided Windows drive through Ubuntu.
[18:35] <FloodBot1> luxurymode: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:36] <Beolex> someone on QN took Beolex and they are a bot
[18:36] <bencahill> sam-_-, right, I just ghost the other one when I need to change :)
[18:36] <luxurymode> whoops
[18:36] <luxurymode> sorryu
[18:36] <shishirdwivedi20> hey i have downloaded adobe reader but when i click to any pdf link my chrome browser ask me to download that file but i want that my browser open that pdf file in new tab without asking me to download it. how can i rectify this problem
[18:36] <cysioland> sam-_-: It fails, still tty1
[18:36] <afroman> joeoshawa: I'm sorry to hear that. maybe ur problems are advanced. I dunno, what I know for sure is that I'm a newbie so most of my problems are quite small.
[18:36] <bencahill> sam-_-, but they auto-try, so my desktop is always on, like that ^
[18:36] <Beolex> 8=D
[18:37] <cysioland> sam-_-: Should i reb?oot it again in recovery
[18:37] <bencahill> !register | Beolex
[18:37] <sam-_-> cysioland you may want to ask someone with knowledge of nvidia drivers.
[18:37] <afroman> bastidrazor: sam-_-: thx 4 the help
[18:37] <C_Okie> can I trust the integrity of what a checksum program says?
[18:37] <sam-_-> cysioland, i don't have an nvidia hence i don't know. sry
[18:37] <cysioland> sam-_-: I will keep trying with some options in recovery mode
[18:37] <sam-_-> cysioland, y. do that or uninstall the nvidia drivers
[18:38] <shymagai> C_Okie: yes.
[18:38] <jay123> can i know how to register with free node
[18:38] <cysioland> sam-_-: How to do that and how to grab original ones from Ubuntu?
[18:38] <C_Okie>  ok becuase it states my hash is jumbles
[18:38] <jay123> i tried all the commands it is not showing any hlp also
[18:38] <C_Okie> *jumbled
[18:38] <shymagai> C_Okies: jumbles?
[18:38]  * chaospsychex rams head through wall
[18:38] <C_Okie> *d
[18:38] <sam-_-> bencahill, with grub bios support of usb shouldn't be necessary.
[18:39] <jay123> i tried this "/msg nickserv register <password> <email> " but says unknown command
[18:39]  * chaospsychex picks himself up,backs up,repeats....
[18:39] <C_Okie> will the iso file of ubuntu when you downloaded it have the same hash as the cd to then right?
[18:39] <sam-_-> bencahill, try poking around on the grub command line. loading usb mod and such. listing devices.
[18:39] <BluesKaj> Swot, if you are at a tty then do this , sudo service gdm stop, then, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current , then, sudo nvidia-xconfig, then, sudo service gdm start ..then startx
[18:40] <shymagai> C_Okie: same as what?
[18:40] <cysioland> sam-_-: It boots in low-quality x mode
[18:40] <sam-_-> bencahill but imho it's not a good idea to run your sys all the time from usb
[18:40] <frold> I might ask the wrong place, but then please tell me where to ask? I have a .mts video file. Is there a program that let you get/see the creation date of the file.... I have a "#changed day" and last "last changed date" but I cant see the original creationdate..
[18:40] <sam-_-> bencahill normally usb devices are very slow if you write multiple files
[18:40] <C_Okie> The iso will have the same hash using the program as the CD's hash when I burn it and do md5sum to findthe hash in ubuntu

[18:52] <sam-_-> ThePro, then maybe wubi is for you
[18:52] <ThePro> sam-_-: how does it work?
[18:52] <uoiuoiuo> hello why my ipod touch not is reconized by my system xubuntu?
[18:53] <c0mrade_-> Is ubuntu like BackTrack?
[18:53] <Swot> I try next
[18:53] <uoiuoiuo> thanks
[18:53] <c0mrade_-> I have Ubuntu 9.4
[18:53] <sam-_-> ThePro, how does wubi work?
[18:53] <aeon-ltd> c0mrade_-: a little but no
[18:53] <sam-_-> !wubi > ThePro
[18:53] <ThePro> yeah
[18:54] <sam-_-> c0mrade_-, backtrack is base on ubuntu
[18:54] <cjdevlin> c0mrade_-: ubuntu is like bt4 in that they are both debian based
[18:54] <sam-_-> c0mrade_-, backtrack is based on ubuntu
[18:54] <cysioland> !wubi
[18:54] <Pici> !backtrack | c0mrade_-
[18:54] <c0mrade_-> Yeah.
[18:54] <ThePro> ah i see, but won't my partitions go all buggy?
[18:54] <Quantum_Ion> How do you change the Quit message in XChat ?
[18:55] <Juzzy> What can you do if X doesnt detect a tv properly? I have a 62" DLP and it thinks its 95" and all of the edges is off the screen. I've installed the latest nvidia drivers, even upgraded the tv's firmware, still the same tho. I have very few options in the gui tools
[18:55] <ThePro> if for example i remove ubuntu??
[18:55] <aeon-ltd> Quantum_Ion: there should be a preference for that
[18:55] <c0mrade_-> I am banned from backtrack-linux and metasploit channels and a bunch of others. Welcome people. The greate troublemaker here. ;)
[18:55] <uoiuoiuo> quantum ion put in te prompter /quit
[18:56] <GaryD> ThePro: you can also either burn ubuntu on a cd or use a program called unetbootin to install ubuntu onto a flash drive. start your computer from either the cd or the flash drive to test ubuntu.
[18:56] <ThePro> GaryD: i'm currently doing that :)
[18:56] <elif> Hi I'm using preseed to autoinstall, but it stops asking me to choose the mirror, the mirror part of preseed.cfg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546361/ what is missing or what I have to do to stop asking me to choose the mirror... thks
[18:56] <uoiuoiuo> hello i can't sinconize my ipod touch
[18:57] <jooiiee> I just installed Ubuntu 1010 and just got it all configured but when i launch some programs (happened to skype and q4wine so far) the computer crashes. screen goes black for 1 second and then i am at the login screen. does anybody have a theory? i did not know what to search for in the forum.
[18:57] <c0mrade_-> I actually want to dissassemble a program using OllyDbg and insert my own functions and easter eggs.
[18:57] <ThePro> Also, i'm having issues when installing nvidia drivers on my liveusb, will those issues show up if i have ubuntu installed?
[18:57] <engemec> I'm having some problems with my little Ubuntu server 10.04.
[18:57] <Quantum_Ion> aeon-ltd, Okay, I found it in Preferences->General
[18:57] <Quantum_Ion> aeon-ltd, Thanks
[18:57] <aeon-ltd> Quantum_Ion: you're welcome (though i didn't do much) :)
[18:58] <GaryD> ThePro: what version of windows is on the computer?....the live usb does not save your preferences when you reboot. you should have no problem installing the nvidia drivers in a full install.
[18:58] <ThePro> XP
[18:58] <ignitedcoding> Help! autoremove is not working:  http://pastebin.com/RVZF1QXe
[18:58] <c0mrade_-> I am currently running ubuntu on my virtual machine.
[18:58] <c0mrade_-> It's configuring apt now.
[18:58] <c0mrade_-> No idea what it is.
[18:58] <ThePro> Which BSOD's a lot, so i'm really scared of using WUBI and basicly breaking everything
[18:58] <c0mrade_-> But it's takin' a long time to install.
[18:59] <sam-_-> Juzzy, 62"s jesus
[18:59] <bluethundr> is there a fast, efficient way to screen shot using the command line in ubuntu?
[18:59] <jbsoum> i dont like wubi for permanent installs
[18:59] <jbsoum> there should be a hotkey for screenshots
[18:59] <c0mrade_-> screenshot -fast -efficient I think.
[18:59] <GaryD> ThePro: i am not sure about the issues you would have with grub after the removal of the ubuntu system and partition.
[18:59] <engemec> Ubuntu Server 10.04, dhc3 (ok), bind9 (ok), squid and iptables. Only one computer from my network surfer on hotmail.com, other can't charge full website.
[19:00] <sam-_-> ignitedcoding, sudo apt-get -f install
[19:00] <sam-_-> ignitedcoding, try running this first
[19:00] <c0mrade_-> I want to ask about Whoppix 2.7
[19:00] <ThePro> GaryD: oh..
[19:00] <c0mrade_-> I tried to download a copy but can't find one.
[19:00] <Pici> c0mrade_-: Then you should ask in their channel.
[19:00] <GaryD> ThePro: why do you want to install ubuntu just to remove it?
[19:00] <sam-_-> !offtopic> c0mrade_-
[19:01] <ignitedcoding> sam-_-:  http://pastebin.com/SdJMupjg <-- failure. I do have a server image of right before I tried this mess
[19:01] <ignitedcoding> I think I'm just going to restore and retry
[19:01] <ThePro> GaryD: not really just to remove it, it's that if it ends up using a lot of space, cause i'm only thinking of giving it around uhh.. 10gb
[19:01] <ignitedcoding> f*ck
[19:01] <jbsoum> so anyone in here know anything about win 7 ubuntu dualboots?
[19:01] <c0mrade_-> off topic.
[19:01] <c0mrade_-> LOL.
[19:01] <ignitedcoding> jbsoum: yeah what's up?
[19:01] <ThePro> that's really scaring me :P
[19:01] <mr2k> I'm running ubuntu in virtualbox, I have enabled 3D acceleration with 128mb VRAM but when I boot the machine Ubuntu tells me that 3D acceleration is NOT enabled. Any clue?
[19:02] <elif> Hi I'm using preseed to autoinstall lucid, but it stops the automatic process asking me to choose one mirror.  I pasted the mirror selecting part of preseed.cfg to http://paste.ubuntu.com/546361/, anyone could help me with that ?
[19:02] <jbsoum> right now i have a chainboot setup where win 7 bootloader has to go into grub to boot linux, i just wanna get rid of the win 7 bootloader and do everything from grub
[19:02] <ignitedcoding> mr2k: proper drivers installed?
[19:02] <c0mrade_-> What's the difference between Unix OS and Linux OS?
[19:02] <Juzzy> troll.
[19:02] <ignitedcoding> mr2k: (for unbuntu)
[19:02] <elif> c0mrade_-, no diff
[19:03] <ThePro> mr2k: You need the drivers, do you have vbox tools installed?
[19:03] <zeink> hello I have a problem accessing my external harddrive
[19:03] <sam-_-> ignitedcoding, you may use dpkg --force-all on each package that is broken
[19:03] <Pici> !guidelines > c0mrade_-
[19:03] <chaos2358> !offtopic>c0mrade_-
[19:03] <Swot> BluesKaj, hmmmm i try startx command
[19:03] <ignitedcoding> C0mrade_-:  money
[19:03] <zeink> can someone help me
[19:03] <cjdevlin> !dualboot | jbsoum
[19:03] <Swot> BluesKaj, and it wrote no screen found
[19:03] <yaaar> hey guys, is there something for linux (and ubuntu specifically) that's roughly equivalent to freebsd jails?
[19:04] <mr2k> ThePro: Well, I've installed the guest addition drivers
[19:04] <Orange-CRMGuest> ff
[19:04] <baggar11> yaaar: chroot?
[19:04] <mr2k> ThePro: Does that count?
[19:04] <maco> yaaar: as a command line type thing, regular ol' chroot's the best you can do, but ubuntu does include apparmor for sandboxing applications as well
[19:04] <GaryD> ThePro: oh...check this page. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Ubuntu%20Desktop%20Edition
[19:04] <ThePro> mr2k: i guess it does.. dunno
[19:05] <Bondv6> yaaar, I guess virtozzo container os so
[19:05] <zeink> I was able to access my external hard drive which is connected through USB until yesterday
[19:05] <ignitedcoding> sam-_-:  command: "dpkg --force-all dovecot-common"  response:"dpkg: need an action option". Nevermind, I'm just going to 86 this shit and start again
[19:05] <ThePro> hmm
[19:05] <zeink> now when I connect it to the computer nothing happens
[19:05] <cjdevlin> !virtualizers | yaaar
[19:05] <maco> !language | ignitedcoding
[19:05] <elif> Is there a better way to understand how to write the preseed.cfg than looking at /var/lib/cbedconf/templates.dat and searching for a part of the Question it stops you, and then reading the Question Name, then writing it to the preseed.cfg ?
[19:05] <ThePro> then i'll uninstall a few games on the main thing.
[19:05] <ThePro> thx guyz :)
[19:05] <jbsoum> ignitedcoding: ive seen that, and I had to use easybcd to get grub to show up through the windows bootloader, but cant i just boot windows from grub and take out the win 7 bootloader
[19:05] <GaryD> ThePro: i would give ubuntu at least 20GB if you intend on adding additional software to it after installation.
[19:05] <sam-_-> ignitedcoding, add -r for remove or -P for purge
[19:06] <ignitedcoding> !telling-other-people-stuff-passive-aggresively | maco
[19:06] <BluesKaj> Swot, reboot
[19:06] <ThePro> GaryD: i am, so uhh, going to uninstall all the unecessary stuff.
[19:06] <sam-_-> ignitedcoding, or read man dpkg
[19:06] <ignitedcoding> oops... bot doesn't have that one
[19:06] <yaaar> cjdevlin: i don't want other operating systems...just separation of the users (and more to the point, websites) on the system
[19:06] <maco> ignitedcoding: hi, i'm an op, and your language isn't appropriate here. that better?
[19:06] <zeink> can someone please help me on my issue
[19:06] <elif> The question that stops me seems to be "debian-installer/choose-mirror/title" of type text
[19:06] <ignitedcoding> maco:  a simple please watch you language is fine.
[19:06] <sam-_-> ignitedcoding, why do you think he was aggressive?
[19:06] <ThePro> GaryD: Well then, bye
[19:06] <ThePro> going to windows to try to clear up some space
[19:06] <ThePro> cya guys later
[19:06] <ignitedcoding> I don't really care what you do on irc.  sam-_- : passive-aggressive
[19:07] <sam-_-> ignitedcoding, that's what he said, didn't he?
[19:07] <GaryD> ThePro: you could use the ubuntu mini cd. it will allow you to install a command line system and add the stuff you want afterwards.
[19:07] <elif> but then I don't know which values to answer this question.
[19:07] <yaaar> Bondv6: cool...i just now happened on the OpenVZ site, which i guess is the basis for the virtuozzo stuff. looking into that, thanks
[19:07] <maco> sam-_-: i'm a she
[19:07] <cjdevlin> yaaar: jails are basically freebsd vms w/ specific functions, right?
[19:07] <donka> ciaoo
[19:07] <sam-_-> maco, so sry
[19:07] <donka> u madonn
[19:07] <ignitedcoding> maco: question... how old is the average ubuntu user?
[19:07] <maco> donka: italiano?
[19:08] <ignitedcoding> maco: in this chatroom?
[19:08] <elif> I tryed several, since the hostname that it display in the list (the only one already inserted in "mirror/http/hostname"), put one, first, 1, everything possible to me.
[19:08] <maco> ignitedcoding: no idea. we don't poll
[19:08] <KM0201> ignitedcoding: lol...
[19:08] <ignitedcoding> maco: why a language policy then? A simple curse here and there when I'm frustrated isn't ok?
[19:08] <Bondv6> cjdevlin, it's basicly a "jail id" attribute in the process struct, basicly, which tell the kernel to limit it's resources
[19:08] <KM0201> ignitedcoding: because it distracts the channel.
[19:09] <maco> ignitedcoding: because we have a code of conduct and guidelines requiring respectfulness at all times. and besides, the *average* age wouldnt matter then, it'd be the minimum. and ive seen 6 year olds on irc
[19:09] <sam-_-> ignitedcoding, it's one of the things that's different about ubuntu :-)
[19:09] <maco> ignitedcoding: if youd like to discuss policy, you can do so in #ubuntu-ops. it's offtopic here
[19:09]  * ignitedcoding would love to see these guys at an auto shop listening to mechanics
[19:09] <yaaar> cjdevlin: well, sort of. they all run the same kernel, and most of the filesystem is linked in (so you don't need a whole OS worth of disc for each jail) so it's a bit less resource hungry than full-on vms.
[19:09] <ignitedcoding> ok....
[19:09] <ignitedcoding> i'm dropping it
[19:09]  * KM0201 works in a prison and has heard every bit of foul language known to man, but i still don't like to hear it at home
[19:10] <ignitedcoding> sam-_-: ##php has the same policy
[19:10] <sam-_-> KM0201, so true
[19:10] <mattybats> !ops
[19:10] <maco> mattybats: what?
[19:10] <Pici> mattybats: yes?
[19:10] <sam-_-> KM0201, but the working in prison part is wrong right?
[19:10] <KM0201> sam-_-: no... quite true.
[19:10] <sam-_-> KM0201, too cool :-)
[19:10] <Pici> mattybats: Is there a reason you used that trigger?
[19:11] <sam-_-> KM0201, what is your job?
[19:11] <mattybats> i was just seeing what the bot would say
[19:11] <maco> sam-_-, KM0201.... #ubuntu-offtopic?
[19:11] <ignitedcoding> oh my god
[19:11] <KM0201> maco: i just pm'd him, my intent wasn't to start a discussion
[19:11] <maco> mattybats: you can pm the bot if you want to play with it
[19:12] <sam-_-> !maco sry. got carried away ;)
[19:12] <yaaar> cjdevlin: looks like openvz is about the closest thing. i just came across this description of the different virtualization "flavors" which describes the differences way better than i could: http://wiki.openvz.org/Introduction_to_virtualization
[19:12] <kozminel> hello
[19:12] <kozminel> i have a question about yahoo and an instant messaging program on ubuntu
[19:12] <kozminel> who can help me?
[19:13] <ignitedcoding> maco: I sent you a pm ( I think.... i'm not exactly an IRC master)
[19:13] <KM0201> kozminel: it's it pidgin?
[19:13] <nickrave> hello, does anyone know how to set up Leopard to run on NFS, so I can network with Ubuntu?
[19:13] <kozminel> well
[19:13] <cjdevlin> yaar: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man2/jail.2freebsd.html  is this what you are talking about?
[19:13] <kozminel> i want to send files
[19:13] <kozminel> to a friend
[19:13] <kozminel> who use windows
[19:13] <kozminel> and i used another
[19:14] <kozminel> i don't know the name
[19:14] <kozminel> but its not pidgin
[19:14] <c0mrade_-> How can I use Kismet in Ubuntu?
[19:14] <kozminel> i want to send more files once
[19:14] <kozminel> not one of a time
[19:14] <sam-_-> c0mrade_-, yes
[19:14] <kozminel> what program shoud i use?
[19:14] <stynnnnnnn> @find suse
[19:15] <KM0201> kozminel: well.. it depends.. file transfer works pretty well w/ pidgin and yahoo users.. but id on't know about sending multiple files at once
[19:15] <mr2k> Is there any ways of giving a host-machine more VRAM than 128MB?
[19:15] <c0mrade_-> Can I download it instantly from the console window?
[19:15] <c0mrade_-> Any commands.
[19:15] <c0mrade_-> ?
[19:15] <cjdevlin> yaaar: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man2/jail.2freebsd.html   -  is this what you are looking for?
[19:15] <kozminel> this was the probem .. multiple file transfer
[19:15] <kozminel> anyone?
[19:15] <KM0201> c0mrade_-: download what?
[19:16] <histo> mr2k: you mean the guest machine? and no there isn't
[19:16] <c0mrade_-> Download Kismet.
[19:16] <c0mrade_-> A network analyser.
[19:16] <mr2k> histo: Yes, sorry, the guest machine. Oh well.
[19:16] <KM0201> kozminel: ho many files aer we talking?
[19:16] <c0mrade_-> And the aircrack-ng suit.
[19:16] <yaaar> cjdevlin: that's pretty interesting....but i'm not sure i would know the first thing to do with a C library...
[19:16] <sam-_-> c0mrade_-, sudo apt-get install kismet
[19:16] <kozminel> 5-10?
[19:16] <kozminel> 2-5?
[19:16] <kozminel> depends
[19:16] <c0mrade_-> Okay sam I'll try that.
[19:17] <Bondv6> yaaar, cjdevlin: that is the one, but I don't think ubuntu has support for it (it's from the freebsd-manpages package)
[19:17] <KM0201> kozminel: if it were me.. i'd probably use simplehttp.. but that will considerably slow down your connection while he downloads them.
[19:17] <c0mrade_-> sam-_- it's giving me. E: Invalind Operation kismet.
[19:17] <kozminel> any plugin for pidgin to use multiple file transfer?
[19:17] <c0mrade_-> When I typed.
[19:18] <c0mrade_-> sudo apt-get kismet.
[19:18] <KM0201> kozminel: i don't think so.. but there could be i guess
[19:18] <sam-_-> c0mrade_-, you forgot install then
[19:18] <c0mrade_-> Yes I did.
[19:18] <c0mrade_-> hehe.
[19:18] <histo> mr2k: mabye with VBoxManage
[19:18] <kozminel> what are the instant messaging program in ubuntu top 5
[19:18] <cjdevlin> yaaar: it *seems* like the tools you need are available on linux?
[19:18] <kozminel> i forgot the name of the one i used
[19:18] <c0mrade_-> sam-_- well it gave me the following.
[19:18] <c0mrade_-> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[19:18] <c0mrade_-> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[19:18] <KM0201> kozminel: what about making them an archive, and transferring the archive?
[19:18] <GaryD> has anyone installed prozilla? if so how is it working?
[19:18] <KM0201> !best | kozminel
[19:18] <cjdevlin> yaaar: on ubuntu* : http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=jail&suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names
[19:19] <kozminel> well i didnt think at that
[19:19] <C_Okie> If I had an iso file I burned to a disk and it burned correctly, does this mean that the MD5 hash i got for the iso, when I use a program like hashtab, will be the same as the hash for the burned cd when I call md5  command from the terminal in ubuntu forthe live cd ?
[19:19] <sam-_-> c0mrade_-, close synaptic or any other package manager
[19:19] <kozminel> i wasn't making a poll
[19:19] <chaospsychex> anyone know why a partition isn't showing up when i mount it
[19:19] <Swot> a
[19:19] <KM0201> kozminel: you asked what the top 5 messengers was.. thats a poll
[19:20] <Swot> What is better ? 64bit ubuntu vs 32 bit?
[19:20] <KM0201> lol
[19:20] <kozminel> :) i forgoted the name of the one i used
[19:20] <Swot> I have 4GB ram..
[19:20] <kozminel> so that is what i wanted to find out
[19:20] <KM0201> kozminel: then google will help you find it.
[19:20] <kozminel> sorry for my english
[19:20] <KM0201> kozminel: pidgin, empathy and kopete are the most common linux IM programs
[19:21] <c0mrade_-> sam-_- well first of all I am using a virtual maching witht he appropriate virtual tools and I installed Ubuntu 9.4 when I did a window poped up to download the latest updates so I pressed 'OK' now 157 files are downloading one after the other. lol 2 hours left.
[19:21] <Bondv6> cjdevlin, a chroot-jail works different by using chroot() system call
[19:21] <kozminel> :)
[19:21] <KM0201> kozminel: but i would just zip them and send them that way
[19:21] <kozminel> kopete i used
[19:21] <c0mrade_-> Then I opened a terminal and wanted to download Kismet along with them.
[19:21] <c0mrade_-> And I did what you said.
[19:21] <kozminel> i will do that
[19:21] <kozminel> in pidgin i get an error
[19:21] <kozminel> transfer faild
[19:21] <c0mrade_-> sudo apt-get install kismet and got the error I mentioned earlier.
[19:21] <kozminel> or something like that
[19:22] <kozminel> fails
[19:22] <sam-_-> c0mrade_-, you will have to wait for the update to finish
[19:22] <c0mrade_-> Okay.
[19:22] <KM0201> kozminel: then you two are doing something wrong.. i transfer between yahoo members all the time
[19:22] <C_Okie> should the hash on the burned cd and the iso you burned be the same?
[19:23] <kozminel> posible
[19:23] <KM0201> likely
[19:23] <chaospsychex> anyone know why a partition isn't showing up when i mount it
[19:24] <kozminel> another think..my computer has 1.7 mghz procesor and 1 gb of RAM dd1 , how can i impove my aplications speed over ubuntu
[19:24] <kozminel> ?
[19:24] <KM0201> kozminel: that can get very involved, you're bette off googling on how to tweak ubuntu
[19:24] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello! Do you know some good VoIP software working well with pulseaudio?
[19:24] <nirazio> How to set which application is launched by xdg-open?
[19:24] <KM0201> Emmanuel_Chanel: skype?
[19:24] <KM0201> !voip | Emmanuel_Chanel
[19:25] <kozminel> ok
[19:25] <caotic_> hi, I have a ubuntu 8.10, in which I need to install some packages, but all the repositories fail, any idea what can I do to use install the needed software ?
[19:25] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Can Skype connect other networks than skype.com ?
[19:25] <kozminel> ill brb in 30 min
[19:25] <kozminel> if i have other question
[19:25] <kozminel> thanks
[19:25] <ignitedcoding> sam-_-: I just restored
[19:25] <Emmanuel_Chanel> I have Ekiga. But it doesn't connect to pulseaudio directly but via ALSA.
[19:25] <ignitedcoding> the beauty of a cloud server
[19:25] <KM0201> caotic_: ubuntu 8.10 is past its end of life, all the repositories are closed, you'll need to upgrade to 9.04(which is also past eol) then to 9.10(which will be eol in a few months)
[19:26] <KM0201> chaospsychex: is it actually mounting and you can browse it, and just not showing up on the desktop?... or what?
[19:26] <hayoah> hi
[19:26] <Emmanuel_Chanel> I have a trouble that my voice is cut every second on Ekiga.
[19:26] <KM0201> Emmanuel_Chanel: i didn't have much luck w/ ekiga either.
[19:26] <Emmanuel_Chanel> I had on Skype, too. But now I don't find such a problem...
[19:27] <KM0201> Emmanuel_Chanel: skype works great for me..
[19:27] <caotic_> KM0201: I already know that
[19:27] <KM0201> caotic_: well, i mean.. what do you want us to do?... waive a wand and open the repos for you?
[19:27] <tekonivelo> hiya
[19:28] <tekonivelo> i don't understand how my Firefox 3.6 is now called Namoroka after i installed Firefox 4.0...
[19:28] <caotic_> KM0201: nope, i am asking if someone knwos about 8.10 repos, and if there are alternative mirrors
[19:28] <Kruppt> KM0201: what are the console commands to upgrade 9.04 to 9.10
[19:28] <KM0201> tekhneek: nambroka is the beta name for 4.0
[19:28] <Pici> tekonivelo: Namaroka is the codename for the in-development version of Firefox.
[19:28] <KM0201> !upgrade  | Kruppt
[19:28] <alpine101> is it faster to copy over a network using nautilus or cp -R * in bash
[19:28] <sam-_-> !jaunty> c0mrade_-
[19:28] <chaospsychex> what is the purpose of this channel?
[19:28] <KM0201> caotic_: i highly doubt it..
[19:28] <tekonivelo> i'd quite like to have Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4.0... but if only one can be called Firefox, then i'd like to have either one of them as Firefox
[19:29] <tekonivelo> Pici: yea
[19:29] <sam-_-> chaospsychex, i'm beginning to ask this myself
[19:29] <KM0201> tekonivelo: easy fix.. start using Chrome?
[19:29] <KM0201> lol
[19:29] <tekonivelo> Pici: but now i have no Firefox at all :\
[19:29] <tekonivelo> KM0201: lol
[19:29] <Kruppt> KM0201: thanks
[19:29] <Pici> tekonivelo: Namaroka is firefox. Its just a name.
[19:29] <OY1R> how can i use the onboard soundcard whilst a usb soundcard is plugged in running ubuntu 10.10.
[19:29] <tekonivelo> Pici: yes, but it's a also a logo and an HTTP Agent String
[19:30] <KM0201> jeez, sorry chaos was upset, i was trying to figure out his answer..lol
[19:30] <alpine101> maybe download chrome tekonivelo -- chrome works well
[19:30] <tekonivelo> i'm using about 5 programs daily which have a blue/blueish globe, so alt-tabbing is mind-numbing
[19:30] <thinkfire> Anyone have any experience using uShare to get Xbox 360 shares to work?
[19:30]  * KM0201 <3's Chrome
[19:31] <tekonivelo> alpine101: Fx works well too, but i don't understand how Ubuntu handles the Fx-branding
[19:31] <c0mrade_-> lol.
[19:31] <c0mrade_-> What a nice channel.
[19:31] <c0mrade_-> I talk to someone.
[19:31] <alpine101> i don't know what fx branding is tekonivelo
[19:31] <sudobear> hi all! is this the channel for technical difficulties?
[19:31] <c0mrade_-> And someone else answers.
[19:31] <c0mrade_-> hehe.
[19:31] <FloodBot1> c0mrade_-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:31] <ignitedcoding> sudobear: among other things
[19:31] <KM0201> c0mrade_-: people tend to just jump in w/ answers here... w/ so many people, you can't possibly track all the conversations going on.
[19:31] <tekonivelo> alpine101: Firefox branding is what makes a Firefox browser (Namoroka, Minefield etc.) a Firefox -product
[19:32] <Stava> How do I mount a .bin/.cue image?
[19:32] <sudobear> great. I'm having trouble running users-admin
[19:32] <ignitedcoding> sudobear: ok... what kind of trouble?
[19:32] <sudobear> gksudo users-admin returns -- Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating asynchronously with the backends: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[19:32] <tekonivelo> alpine101: it seems somehow Ubuntu cannot figure out which of my browsers (Fx 3.6/Fx 4) should be Firefox
[19:32] <zeink> hello can someone else please help me with my issue
[19:33] <Pici> tekonivelo: Because all builds need to be certified by Mozilla for them to be allowed to be named 'Firefox'.
[19:33] <zeink> I am trying to mount my external hard drive but the computer can not find it
[19:33] <Kruppt> ubottu: thanks
[19:33] <ovrflw0x> i have prblem w/ switchable graphics ... i installed fglrx.. but Xorg is telling me to turn switchable graphics off -- i don't have such feature in my BIOS so now what to do?

[19:34] <sudobear> KM0201: I'm on 10.04 -- no unlock icon
[19:34] <Some_Person> I just reinstalled lucid and my mouse isn't working
[19:34] <ignitedcoding> Some_Person: plug it in
[19:34] <KM0201> sudobear: well what happens when you try to change something, doesn't it prompt you for the sudo password?
[19:35] <sudobear> no prompt
[19:35] <Some_Person> ignitedcoding: It's built in to my laptop and I also have a USB external mouse. Both are not working
[19:35] <sudobear> KM0201: the buttons just don't do anything
[19:35] <KM0201> sudobear: is it safe to assume your user has sudo priv?
[19:35] <ovrflw0x> how can i make discrete card on busid PCI:1:0:0 as Default? in xorg.conf?
[19:35] <ignitedcoding> Some_Person: I would think driver issue
[19:35] <sudobear> KM0201: hehe, yes
[19:35] <thinkfire> I keep getting an error that eth0 is down for ushare, I see other options lp1, br0, how do I know which one I am using, I thought eth0 was the typical for a network card?
[19:36] <nirazio> I have set my default browser to chrome using update-alternatives,but when i open a website using xdg-open in terminal the website is getting opened in firefox..Why???
[19:36] <KM0201> sudobear: did you go doing something crazy w/ sudo su?
[19:36] <histo> thinkfire: ifconfig will show you
[19:36] <ovrflw0x> anybody?
[19:36] <spencer> nirazio try uninstalling firefox
[19:36] <ovrflw0x> somebody?
[19:36] <sudobear> KM0201: it works when i start it with gksudo users-admin
[19:36] <KM0201> !patience | ovrflw0x
[19:36] <VCoolio> nirazio: you did set x-www-browser?
[19:36] <thinkfire> histo,  no command, what package is it?
[19:36] <spencer> ovrflw0x what was your problem?
[19:36] <thinkfire> net=tools?
[19:36] <tunist> greetings! anyone know why an intel quadcore would bring the 10.10 ubuntu installer to a halt at the point the install displays the core numbers? i have use 32 and 64bit versions.. from a usb key
[19:37] <ovrflw0x> spencer: i have 2 graphics cards in notebook
[19:37] <puch> hello, when try to install ipod porgrams apears this mesage The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future.
[19:37] <puch> dpkg: error processing nvidia-kernel-common (--configure):
[19:37] <puch>  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status  1 Setting up libzvbi-common (0.2.33-1) Setting up libzvbi0 (0.2.33-1) . i need help. thanks
[19:37] <FloodBot1> puch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:37] <histo> thinkfire: ifconfig is in ubuntu-base
[19:37] <ovrflw0x> spencer: X is asking me to make either of it as "default"
[19:37] <Some_Person> Can anyone get my mouse working?
[19:37] <histo> thinkfire: it's part of the minimal system what distro are you running?
[19:37] <KM0201> sudobear: soright click your menu/edit menu.. go to down admin, highlight user and groups, click properties, and put "gksudo" in front fo the command to start it... problem solved
[19:37] <puch> sorry
[19:37] <KM0201> sudobear: but i have no idea what your issue is
[19:37] <sudobear> KM0201: no sudo su craziness
[19:37] <ovrflw0x> spencer: how can i make my discrete card as Default?
[19:37] <thinkfire> ubuntu....uhh...I am newb
[19:37] <spencer> Some_person is it a mouse or touchpad, and have you tried checking the repos for drivers?
[19:37] <histo> thinkfire: open a terminal and type in ifconfig
[19:38] <number_number> having issues with perl locales, "Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale".. i've read several "fixes" but I thought I'd check if anyone here knows?
[19:38] <spencer> ovrflw0x what options does it give you?
[19:38] <Some_Person> spencer: both a mouse and a touchpad. Neither are working, and I've never needed drivers for it before
[19:38] <ovrflw0x> spencer: what BIOS? none!
[19:38] <thinkfire> oh woops, that worked, I had typed ipconfig out of habit
[19:38] <spencer> some_person, have you ever had them working with this distro?
[19:38] <Some_Person> spencer: I've run karmic, lucid, and maverick before on here, and although maverick had major crashing problems, the mouse always worked
[19:38] <sudobear> KM0201: gksudo users-admin will work, but it takes a while to start, and I get this warning: Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating asynchronously with the backends: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[19:39] <thinkfire> so I have virbr0, l0, and eth0
[19:39] <histo> thinkfire: yeah linux it's ifconfig and iwconfig for wireless
[19:39] <spencer> ovrflw0x what is prompting you to choose X as default
[19:39] <histo> thinkfire: what are you trying to do exactly?
[19:39] <ovrflw0x> spencer: "startx"
[19:39] <nirazio> VCoolio: Yes i have already set that
[19:39] <DutchCow94> lol
[19:39] <DutchCow94> SPAM
[19:39] <DutchCow94> SPAM
[19:39] <DutchCow94> SPAM
[19:39] <DutchCow94> SPAM
[19:39] <FloodBot1> DutchCow94: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:39] <thinkfire> what is the virbr0 for?
[19:40] <thinkfire> histo, I am trying to configure ushare, but its telling me that eth0 is down when I start it
[19:40] <spencer> How often do we get spammed like that?
[19:40] <ovrflw0x> spencer: X is asking me to choose default screen
[19:40] <thinkfire> histo, Interface eth0 is down.
[19:40] <thinkfire> Recheck uShare's configuration and try again !
[19:40] <number_number> has anyone else had these perl locale issues, 'cannot set'?
[19:40] <ovrflw0x> spencer: wtf should i do man
[19:40] <histo> thinkfire: well which interface are you using for network?  ifconfig should show one with an ip
[19:40] <VCoolio> nirazio: maybe you did something wrong in the command syntax; try galternatives, much easier
[19:41] <spencer> ovrflw0x, sorry but general troubleshooting is as far as I go. Can you boot up into the OS correctly, even as far as login screen?
[19:41] <thinkfire> histo, galternatives?
[19:41] <thinkfire> instead of ushare?
[19:41] <ovrflw0x> spencer: No!
[19:41] <histo> thinkfire: there are plenty of alternatives but most likely you just need to tell the config what interface to use
[19:41] <ovrflw0x> spencer: it says "switchable" graphics found! choose one as default
[19:41] <thinkfire> virbr0 has ip 192.168.122.1
[19:41] <frxstrem> is it possible to create a peer-to-peer wifi hotspot in Ubuntu and pass all connections from it through a SOCKS proxy?
[19:41] <histo> thinkfire: sudo dpkg-reconfigure ushare
[19:41] <spencer> ovrflw0x please calm down, I'm trying to help. Do you require both graphics cards, or can you disable one in BIOS?
[19:41] <Some_Person> Can anyone get my mouse working?
[19:42] <histo> thinkfire: and select virbr0 as the adapter
[19:42] <ovrflw0x> spencer: no BIOS has no such option
[19:42] <thinkfire> eth0 has ip 192.168.1.110 which I assume is the right interface since thats the IP that my router is assigning to it based on MAC
[19:42] <mr2k> Some_Person:  Tried a reboot? :P
[19:42] <Some_Person> mr2k: That was the first thing I tried
[19:42] <doriangrey> hello i was following a tutorial but i am stuck on the step where it say "open the run box and type"  what does mean open the run box? thanks
[19:42] <mr2k> Some_Person: Desktop or laptop?
[19:42] <Dcite> ovrflw0x: Does your notebook have on of those discreet graphic cards with an intel chip also?
[19:42] <Some_Person> I actually thought the system had crashed while booting, but it obviously didn't
[19:42] <spencer> ovrflw0x can you boot into BIOS right now? I might be able to guide you through disabling it, because it does in fact have that option
[19:42] <erUSUL> doriangrey: alt + f2
[19:43] <Some_Person> mr2k: laptop, but it's always worked out of the box before (even the live CD works)
[19:43] <ovrflw0x> spencer: one is discrete other is integrated
[19:43] <ovrflw0x> spencer: this is ENVY 14 HP notebook it has no such option!!!
[19:43] <ovrflw0x> :)
[19:43] <nazgul> Hi. I cant start the gnome-keyring-daemon: http://pastebin.com/CAz6f1QD . It is in the GNOME startup program list. How can I fix this? see also http://paste.ubuntu.com/546071/
[19:43] <thinkfire> histo, it worked
[19:43] <spencer> dcite ovrflw0x it could be an option to disable one, your thoughts dcite?
[19:43] <nirazio> VCoolio: I have already checked using galternatives..google-chrome is set there
[19:43] <histo> thinkfire: cool
[19:43] <thinkfire> histo, is virbr0 some virtual adapter?
[19:43] <mr2k> Some_Person: There usually is a combination of fn + <a button> which turns the touchpad on and off, you haven't pressed these without noticing?
[19:44] <ovrflw0x> spencer: dcite?
[19:44] <Some_Person> mr2k: external USB mouse also isn't working
[19:44] <histo> thinkfire: don't know.  Depends on what cards you ahve etc...
[19:44] <doriangrey> erUSUL,  thanks ;)
[19:44] <Some_Person> mr2k: and this laptop doesn't have such a keycombo
[19:44] <Dcite> spencer ovrflw0x : I wonder if this is one of those new notebooks with on-demand switching of graphics.
[19:44] <ovrflw0x> Dcite: yes
[19:44] <histo> thinkfire: lspci  would show you some info on your hardware
[19:44] <thinkfire> oh wait, it said that interface is down too
[19:44] <histo> Dcite: could be sounds like it to me
[19:44] <mr2k> Some_Person: Ah! what happens when you run lspci?
[19:44] <spencer> dcite ovrflw0x if that's the case, would disabling one help?
[19:44] <histo> ovrflw0x: what kind of notebook is it?
[19:44] <mr2k> Some_Person: lsusb
[19:44] <ovrflw0x> histo: envy 14 hp
[19:44] <VCoolio> nirazio: then I don't know, alternatives is the tool for xdg-open; if it doesn't listen, try gnome-open and set chrome in preferred applications
[19:44] <histo> spencer: he can't it's new hardware
[19:44] <mr2k> Some_Person: Is the external mouse listed there?
[19:45] <histo> ovrflw0x: let me check on something hold up a min
[19:45] <ovrflw0x> histo:  ok!
[19:45] <spencer> histo it more than likely can in advanced BIOS settings, unless it's leaps and bounds from mine
[19:45] <Some_Person> mr2k: the USB mouse is listed in lsusb
[19:45] <alec1> how do you set font size on a box without desktop enviornment?
[19:45] <ovrflw0x> spencer: had it been in bios i would have known it by now
[19:46] <spencer> Some_Person and there's no damage to the USB mouse? nothing blocking the laser?
[19:46] <Some_Person> spencer: It worked before I rebooted after the installation
[19:46] <thinkfire> histo,  lspci doesnt help with that, shows the onboard network card, gigabit, but does not tell what interface it is
[19:46] <ovrflw0x> spencer: i installed "Fglrx" properietary driver when this thing happened "rebooted"
[19:46] <Some_Person> spencer: Also, that wouldn't explain why the touchpad also isn't working
[19:46] <histo> thinkfire: lshw maybe dunno. But either way it's wroking now
[19:46] <spencer> ovrflw0x there's an advanced menu to disable onboard components, again unless it's leaps and bounds from mine
[19:46] <mr2k> Some_Person: Does it work if you run any of the other choices in grub?
[19:47] <histo> ovrflw0x: So it was working?
[19:47] <puch>  ello, when i try to intall some software realationated with sound video card apears tis message:  The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future
[19:47] <puch> hello, when i try to intall some software realationated with sound video card apears tis message:  The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future.
[19:47] <puch> dpkg: error processing nvidia-kernel-common (--configure):
[19:47] <puch>  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[19:47] <puch> Setting up libzvbi-common (0.2.33-1) ...
[19:47] <puch> Setting up libzvbi0 (0.2.33-1) ...
[19:47] <thinkfire> Its not, I missed it, says virbr0 is down
[19:47] <puch> thanks
[19:47] <ovrflw0x> histo: yes i had to close the lid and open it to see the screen then i installed
[19:47] <FloodBot1> puch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:47] <Some_Person> mr2k: Why would it? This would seem to be an X configuration problem or something
[19:47] <spencer> Some_Person does anything happen when you unplug the USB mouse and only try to use the touchpad?
[19:47] <ovrflw0x> histo: fglrx and it loads only in init 3
[19:47] <Some_Person> spencer: No change. Both usually work simultaneously anyway
[19:48] <ovrflw0x> histo: it was defaulting to intel
[19:48] <histo> ovrflw0x: Yeah I think you can only use hte discreete video right now. Unless they've updated something in the kenrel
[19:48] <mr2k> Some_Person: I have no idea, I'm just trying to narrow down the problem.
[19:48] <spencer> Some_Person so nothing changes after you reboot. How new is the current distro?
[19:48] <ovrflw0x> histo: how to use the discrete video?
[19:48] <Some_Person> spencer: I'm running lucid
[19:48] <histo> ovrflw0x: the intel card
[19:48] <ovrflw0x> histo: here vgaswitchero for switching
[19:49] <ovrflw0x> histo: i don't like the intel card
[19:49] <ovrflw0x> histo:  i want to use the discrete card
[19:49] <histo> ovrflw0x: The intel is the discreet card
[19:49] <ovrflw0x> no
[19:49] <ovrflw0x> ATI HD 5650 is the discrete
[19:49] <spencer> Some_Person how recently installed, and if it's fresh then was the liveCD an official one or a home-burned one?
[19:49] <histo> ovrflw0x: I don't know if someone has a way of switching in linux working yet
[19:49] <Flinx_> Running Lucid, should I put new $PATH variables in my .bashrc or my .profile?
[19:49] <ovrflw0x> histo:  as i said there "vga_switcheroo" for that
[19:49] <Some_Person> spencer: fresh install. I used unetbootin on an SD card
[19:49] <doriangrey> helloo stacking again on this step "Now open orca prefrences with insert + space, go to the speech tab"
[19:50] <doriangrey> i press ins+space bar but happen nothing
[19:50] <histo> ovrflw0x: I don't know anything about vga_switcheroo
[19:50] <spencer> Some_Person does it not have a CD drive then? I'm used to having my shiny fresh lucid boot disk, sent by someone in sweden lol
[19:50] <histo> ovrflw0x: maybe post on the forums. Perhaps someone has the same hardware
[19:50] <Some_Person> spencer: It does, but I had issues burning the CD initially
[19:50] <histo> ovrflw0x: but integrated graphics should work out of the box
[19:50] <huskers_> okay, recently built a new computer w/ v10.10 64 - wanted to take advantage of 12GB RAM.  that said i also changed from nvidia to ATI; thus far i have had a few  hiccups (lock ups; frozen apps)..am wondering if this is related to the video or the 64bit version.  anyone have any insight?
[19:51] <ovrflw0x> histo: yes until i installed fglrx driver
[19:51] <Some_Person> spencer: I don't really see why this matters. unetbootin shouldn't cause any problems
[19:51] <krambiorix> hi guys
[19:51] <histo> ovrflw0x: to switch you need to restart X I believe
[19:51] <Flinx_> hi
[19:51] <ovrflw0x> histo: yes
[19:51] <spencer> Some_Person I used a home-burnt disc once and had a few problems, nothing as crippling as yours, but it -might- be a possible COD
[19:51] <histo> ovrflw0x: /sys/kernel/debeug/vgaswitcheroo/switch  in a shell
[19:51] <spencer> Some_Person do the arrow keys work?
[19:52] <histo> ovrflw0x: so echo DDIS > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[19:52] <Some_Person> spencer: Yes. I'm talking to you through irssi in the lucid install
[19:52] <ovrflw0x> histo: i know all that
 helloo stacking again on this step "Now open orca prefrences with insert + space, go to the speech tab"  i press ins+space bar but happen nothing
[19:52] <krambiorix> i'm running ubuntu 10.04 and i installed acroread using Ubuntu Software center.... Now when i want to open a PDF in firefox it opens up acroread but acroread crashes....
[19:52] <ovrflw0x> histo:  how can i debugfs switcheroo?
[19:52] <krambiorix> Can someone tell me what 's wrong?
[19:52] <spencer> Some_Person okay, have you noticed any other problems? Also, does rebooting with the mouse unplugged do anything?
[19:52] <histo> ovrflw0x: file a bug with launchpad possibly. Or ask in the forums.
[19:53] <Some_Person> spencer: Hard to notice any other problems when I'm using the machine with no mouse. And no, rebooting with it unplugged doesn't change anything
[19:53] <spencer> krambiorix is it a netbook/really old computer? also, doe sit show any error messages?
[19:54] <krambiorix> spence, laptop 1 years old, no errors

[19:55] <nit-wit> krambiorix, what is the actual problem
[19:56] <spencer> ovrflw0x, sudo apt-get remove fglrx

[19:59] <Docteh> so two mice not working lol
[20:00] <krambiorix> nit-wit, stock?
[20:00] <Some_Person> Docteh: The mice themselves work fine. Something must be wrong with ubuntu, maybe the X server config?
[20:00] <spencer> anyone needing any general troubleshooting? If not, I'm switching to /offtopic
[20:00] <Docteh> posibly

[20:01] <madduck> Hello. We have a file server at home (SMB, SSH obviously), and my mum runs Ubuntu. What is a good backup software for her to use on-demand, which integrates with GNOME and reminds her when her backups are outdated, and which allows for easy recovery?
[20:01] <Some_Person> You used to be able to reconfigure X with 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', but that doesn't do anything these days? What's the equivilent command nowadays?

[20:05] <onlyplayragz> i did that thanks
[20:05] <krambiorix> nit-wit, document viewer?
[20:05] <rcm> I just installed lxde with sudo apt-get install lxde, but when I access the server via vnc, the only windows managers that appear are fluxbox (that I installed before) and openbox, there shouldnt be lxde? btw my server has ubuntu server 10.10
[20:05] <RocketSnail> oh there isn't a pvc channel is there :p or a plumbing?
[20:06] <ICM> Strange, it's overflowing, onlyplayragz
[20:06] <Pici> RocketSnail: Try #help or maybe #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:06] <RocketSnail> I doubt it?
[20:06] <tekhneek> Anyone have any ideas?
[20:06] <Docteh> it'd be ##plumbing
[20:06] <spencer> rocketsnail your local hardware store would be happy to help
[20:06] <onlyplayragz> ok
[20:06] <RocketSnail> '
[20:06] <RocketSnail> okay thanks guys!
[20:06] <Docteh> unofficial channel for plumbing lol

[20:08] <nit-wit> krambiorix, just right click the pdf under open with what do you see
[20:08] <Roots> If anyone here knows a good method for producing a list of target files/locations when running make install, I could use your advice here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4199199#post4199199

[20:09] <spencer> virtual110 no hablamos espanol
[20:10] <nit-wit> krambiorix, when you right click and move the mouse to open with all you see is adobe stuff
[20:10] <agentgasmask> spencer: oh, ok. I thought you said "a disk utility". I didn't relize that the program it self was called "Disk Utility". :)
[20:10] <XiaolinDraconis> Disk Utility is the crap they replace gparted with
[20:10] <spencer> agentgasmask it's okay, you just select the drive and hit the conveniently-named "benchmark"

[20:14] <nit-wit> krambiorix, when you right click the pdf then click properties then open with what are the choices
[20:15] <krambiorix> nitwit, acroread, Adobe Reader 9, Document Viewer
[20:15] <nit-wit> krambiorix, this is what my right click pdf open wth looks like. http://imagebin.org/128973
[20:16] <XiaolinDraconis> please tell me theres an easier way
[20:16] <XiaolinDraconis> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602
[20:16] <XiaolinDraconis> grub cant have gotten this difficult
[20:16] <nit-wit> krambiorix, you have added adobe products from the web site correct besides acroread correct
[20:17] <Milp_main> quick, someone help me, i need a script that converts 200k files nested in 16k directories with all sorts of special characters from mixed upper-lowercase to lowercase only
[20:17] <krambiorix> nit-wit, yeah could be
[20:17] <Milp_main> i tried all sorts of googled solutions and none seemed to work
[20:17] <Milp_main> oh, before i forget: please :)
[20:17] <krambiorix> so i have to uninstall acrobat 9 then?
[20:17] <Pici> Milp_main: filenames?
[20:17] <cptblood> is vaapi the ati version of vdpau?
[20:18] <Pici> Milp_main: I mean you want the filenames converted to lowercase, or the file contents?
[20:18] <Milp_main> names only please
[20:18] <nit-wit> krambiorix, the document viewer in the open with click on it, then try clicking on the pdf then. your a MS user aren't you
[20:18] <Milp_main> and it has to work recusrively and for folders too
[20:18] <krambiorix> nit-wit, no i'm not
[20:19] <Flipper> hello
[20:19] <krambiorix> nit-wit, i'm using ubuntu since it came out
[20:19] <nit-wit> krambiorix, just trying to figure out your skill level since this is such a easy thng
[20:19] <XiaolinDraconis> please tell me i can do this grub2 stuff easier
[20:19] <sam-_-> tunist, you may try various kernel options http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
[20:19] <linear4> Milp_main: try using rename?
[20:19] <XiaolinDraconis> i have two identically named ubuntu's in my list
[20:19] <Flipper> help
[20:20] <XiaolinDraconis> and no easy way to change it
[20:20] <nit-wit> XiaolinDraconis, 2 kernel lines correct
[20:20] <XiaolinDraconis> yeah
[20:20] <krambiorix> nit-wit, yes ok, but which one to use?
[20:20] <XiaolinDraconis> i installed lucid twice
[20:20] <linear4> Milp_main: rename 'y/a-z/A-Z/' *
[20:20] <Pici> Milp_main: How about: find /path/to/files/ -type f | xargs rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/'
[20:20] <nit-wit> XiaolinDraconis, the second is important for repairs
[20:21] <XiaolinDraconis> no no i removed all those lines somehow
[20:21] <linear4> oh to lowercase.. what Pici said
[20:21] <XiaolinDraconis> ubuntu tweak i think
[20:21] <ikonia> Please try to avoid ubuntu tweak
[20:21] <XiaolinDraconis> why?
[20:21] <tunist> thanks sam, i'll play with those and see if i can find any more info
[20:22] <XiaolinDraconis> ikonia whats wrong with tweak
[20:22] <sam-_-> tunist, i would start with debug and acpi=off
[20:22] <Milp_main> linear4 that is not recursive, is it? :/ Pici: what do you mean by /path/to/files/ ? its a giant directory tree as a whole that i need to 'translate' ;)
[20:22] <nit-wit> XiaolinDraconis, righ you removed whole kernel sets the have a main kernel and a recover/repair, not the same recovery as a MS system though
[20:22] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: it can cause damage by scripting things which are already available in ubuntu
[20:22] <Pici> Milp_main: wherever the 'root' of your directory tree that you want to modify is.
[20:22] <XiaolinDraconis> nit-wit: i dont know what your saying
[20:23] <nit-wit> krambiorix, using Ubuntu since it came out which one 10.10
[20:23] <linear4> Milp_main: no that would be one directory. uh. not the best solution.. very strange one, but I would get a file with all the dirs using ls -RA and awk print whatever and then do a for loop with head and tail to do each directory at once. strange but it's what comes to my mind.
[20:23] <krambiorix> 4.10
[20:23] <XiaolinDraconis> ikonia: only seem available if you know scipting
[20:23] <nit-wit> XiaolinDraconis, I know it's quite obvios
[20:23] <Milp_main> Pici oh ok i will try that
[20:23] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: no, everything you can do in ubuntu tweak you can do without it
[20:23] <Milp_main> linear4 uh i barely understood any of that lol :D
[20:23] <krambiorix> but i use it cause i was fed up with ms win... I'm a user, not a hard core fan
[20:23] <linear4> Milp_main: Just do what Pici said it'll work much easier lol.
[20:24] <Milp_main> lol alright
[20:24] <XiaolinDraconis> ikonia: only for scripters
[20:24] <Milp_main> thanks
[20:24] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: no, for anyone
[20:24] <nit-wit> XiaolinDraconis, the irc is not a good place to l;earn
[20:24] <tunist> sam - which file do i need to edit to use these flags?
[20:24] <XiaolinDraconis> sorry but i dont understand -dfsdfg +asdfjhsdfgh/// >wtf
[20:24] <Dcite> XiaolinDraconis: I don't think that's in the document.
[20:24] <XiaolinDraconis> nit-wit: seems great to me i learned a lot so far
[20:24] <sam-_-> tunist, no need to edit a file. it's boot option
[20:25] <XiaolinDraconis> no but it is in os-probe file
[20:25] <nit-wit> XiaolinDraconis, you might try #ubuntu-beginners as well
[20:25] <sam-_-> tunist, you need to add them manually
[20:25] <anodesni> Hi, how can I change the webcam used in empathy?

[20:27] <c0mrade_-> yeah.
[20:27] <nit-wit> XiaolinDraconis, if we had a picture of the terminal after running sudo update-grub it would help

[20:29] <St0181> ok
[20:29] <erUSUL> grendal_prime: use a pidfile? should be the easier form i think
[20:30] <anodesni> Hi, how can I change the webcam used in empathy?
[20:30] <ikonia> anodesni: do you have multiple web cams on your system ?
[20:30] <anodesni> ikonia, yes
[20:30] <ikonia> anodesni: interesting, what device file are you currently using for your web cam
[20:30] <anodesni> ikonia, one build in in my laptop,
[20:31] <GaryD> never mind...i found it
[20:31] <anodesni> ikonia, I want to use an external one,
[20:31] <erUSUL> anodesni: change it in gstreamer-properties ? i guess empathy uses gstreamer
[20:31] <anodesni> erUSUL, tnx
[20:31] <ikonia> anodesni: in the empathy config, what device does it say it's using (/dev/video for example)
[20:31] <anodesni> lets try
[20:32] <Some_Person> Does X have absolutely no way at all to configure it nowadays?
[20:32] <ikonia> Some_Person: yes many ways
[20:32] <Pici> Some_Person: Create an xorg.conf file and it will honor it.
[20:32] <XiaolinDraconis> ok i think before i even get started i need to update-grub and reboot to see what changes it makes since i have edited somethings with gurb already
[20:32] <erUSUL> Some_Person: the same ways as allways ... xorg.conf is aboyed if it is present
[20:32] <brianfreud> when I pipe text, how would I go about adding in a foo such that  (something) | foo | (something2) passes only the last line of something to something2?
[20:32] <XiaolinDraconis> *burg
[20:32] <apoel> where can i find commands to work on ubuntu server edition?
[20:33] <Some_Person> Does the live CD use an xorg.conf?

[20:37] <ignitedcoding> !! I installed chrome on ubuntu. Now whenever I click a link in IRC, Email, or IM it opens in chrome. How do I fix this?
[20:37] <brianfreud> sorry, typo:  find '/media/Music' -name "*.flac" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 flac -t | tail -n 1 2>output.log
[20:37] <histo> Some_Person: no idea there. Maybe a post on the forums or check out some of the docs
[20:37] <histo> !mouse > Some_Person
[20:37] <relachs> hi there
[20:37] <erUSUL> brianfreud: what is the tail between find and xargs doing?
[20:37] <ignitedcoding> sorry ubottu : wasn't talking to you
[20:37] <histo> ignitedcoding: change the default browser
[20:37] <brianfreud> erUSUL: Was a typo :P
[20:37] <ikonia> Some_Person: build an xorg config and hard code the mouse settings
[20:37] <XiaolinDraconis> i just ran update-grub and it says found background image plasma.tga .... but that is not the theme im using
[20:37] <histo> ignitedcoding: system > preferences > preferred apps
[20:38] <Some_Person> histo: But my mouse doesn't have "extra buttons" and I'm not using a serial mouse
[20:38] <brianfreud> Best possible world, I'd find a linux equiv to audiotester
[20:38] <Some_Person> ikonia: I feel like doing that in the command line would be hell :-(
[20:38] <relachs> I'm wondering if you could tell me if it is possible to decrypt an email pgp message without my Passphrase?! I only have a private key :/
[20:38] <ignitedcoding> histo: thank you.
[20:38] <ogelami> if im in linux and have mistakenly deleted my windows bootsector how do i get it back?
[20:38] <ignitedcoding> oh so much better
[20:39] <erUSUL> relachs: nope; you need the passphrase to unlock the private key
[20:39] <ikonia> Some_Person: yes the livecd, or use another machine and copy the file onto your machine
[20:39] <ogelami> i want my computer to standardly boot as windows7
[20:39] <XiaolinDraconis> ogelami: you put the disk in and open recovery
[20:39] <XiaolinDraconis> something about fixmbr
[20:39] <ogelami> i formatted the partition
[20:39] <tunist> @sam: i did see the F6 option at one point .. possibly using a different install image.. the one i have now is not responding to F6
[20:39] <relachs> erUSUL: so it's not possible :/
[20:39] <Some_Person> ikonia: Ok, I'll reboot and then ask for instructions. Thank you
[20:39] <erUSUL> relachs: no afaics
[20:39] <sam-_-> tunist, version of ubuntu?
[20:39] <ogelami> i dont want linux and im using a live cd, i still have the win7 os

[20:41] <tunist> sam: the install screen is black with a glowing white ubuntu logo
[20:41] <ogelami> and he cant play games and stuff
[20:41] <spencer> ogelami language please
[20:41] <nit-wit> XiaolinDraconis, it is all good

[20:41] <IdleOne> !language | ogelami
[20:41] <Praxi> ogelami: I got my kids box working using playonlinux
[20:41] <sam-_-> tunist maybe you have to press  escape first
[20:41] <ikonia> ogelami: linux is not really a gaming platform at this time.
[20:41] <Praxi> had some easy installers for most games, about the only one I couldn't get working that they wanted was toon town
[20:41] <nit-wit> the #ubuntu-beginner channel is pretty clear right now for dialogue
[20:42] <tunist> sam: ah, escape goes to a command line with 'boot'
[20:42] <ogelami> he is six, my mom dont know how to operate a linux and i dont live here.
[20:42] <paradoxic> Is there a way to avoid being prompted for mysql root password details when using apt-get to install mysql server?
[20:42] <tunist> so tap the codes in there?
[20:42] <ogelami> its simple, let him do what ever he want
[20:42] <ikonia> ogelami: if you want games, Linux may not be the best option for you.
[20:43] <Praxi> ya true that ogelami , I have to help the kids a lot with their linux pc.  works great for them for web surfing though :)
[20:43] <XiaolinDraconis> ikonia: do you think you might know this issue
[20:43] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: issue to what ?
[20:43] <XiaolinDraconis> i have burg installed changed a theme
[20:43] <XiaolinDraconis> just now i ran update grub
[20:43] <ogelami> =)
[20:44] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: I have no idea what burg is
[20:44] <XiaolinDraconis> its a grub2 theme manager
[20:44] <XiaolinDraconis> well it does more than just that
[20:44] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: is it in the ubuntu repos /
[20:44] <ikonia> ?
[20:44] <naiad> I have two monitors and I am trying to have 1 in portrait and 1 in landscape while still having gl for compiz.  I'm using the nvidia closed drivers does anyone know if this is possible?  I've read a couple places that it wont be until the drivers change and I'm just trying to confirm
[20:44] <ikonia> !infor burg
[20:44] <XiaolinDraconis> no
[20:44] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: how did you install it ?
[20:44] <XiaolinDraconis> added a repo
[20:45] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: from where
[20:45] <sam-_-> tunist use my name if u ask me. you might get lost otherwise
[20:45] <XiaolinDraconis> lemme double check
[20:45] <Praxi> Trying to install Snorby on ubuntu server 10.04 x64. Using this guide https://github.com/Snorby/snorby/wiki/Ubuntu-1.9.2-without-RVM-by-Eric-Peters .  when I run rake snorby:setup I get this error http://github.com/mephux/ezprint.git (at rails3) is not checked out. Please run `bundle install` .... Running bundle install appears successful but I still get the same error.  I probably have lots...
[20:45] <Praxi> ...of competing versions of ruby/rails/rvm and I don't know how to clean them off.
[20:45] <tunist> sam: ok sure ;)
[20:46] <Praxi> ogelami if you still have a windows partition, and just want to make it work, use your windows cd and goto a recovery console, its fdisk /mbr to rebuild boot record
[20:46] <XiaolinDraconis> launchpad
[20:46] <ogelami> Praxi, i dont have the win7 cd no more
[20:47] <ikonia> ogelami: the guys in ##windows will be able to help you
[20:47] <Praxi> thats not good hehe, couple of guys in here mentioned how to do with with the linux cd
[20:47] <lunks> How can I SSH into a host, map a remote port to a local port, and not get console access, just the port forwarding?
[20:47] <s3rris> um hi i need some help installing ubuntu.
[20:47] <ikonia> s3rris: explain your issue
[20:47] <ogelami> okay thanks ikonia
[20:48] <Praxi> anyone have any ideas on how to completely remove Rails/Ruby/RVM?
[20:48] <s3rris> I have a 2GB flashdrive and i'm currently running on OSX 10.4. I just need to know if that'll be good enough for installing ubuntu on a partioned HD.
[20:48] <ikonia> s3rris: you want to use the usb disk as an installer, or as the target disk for the install
[20:48] <sam-_-> tunist, one sec i will investigate
[20:48] <Some_Person> Nevermind, I actually got the mouse to work: seems I still had some old Linux kernels left on here from my old maverick install, and was booting one of those
[20:49] <s3rris> ummm i want to install Ubuntu using a USB stick :|
[20:49] <ikonia> s3rris: ok, then that 2GB stick should be enough
[20:49] <Some_Person> What kernel version *should* lucid have?
[20:49] <pankaj> how to connect to internet in ubuntu
[20:50] <pankaj> ?
[20:50]  * VanDamas http://www.bbsex.org/index.php You must see that!
[20:50] <s3rris> also can i drag and drop all of my shit from OSX to Ubuntu?
[20:50] <Pici> Some_Person: 2.6.32-21.32 at install or 2.6.32-27.49 with all updates.
[20:50] <s3rris> i have no idea if this is possible.
[20:50] <ikonia> s3rris: control your language
[20:50] <Pici> s3rris: Please mind your language here.
[20:50] <s3rris> oh. sorry :P
[20:50] <sgerbino> lol
[20:50] <ikonia> s3rris: ubuntu can read HFS partitions but not write to them
[20:51] <kozminel> while i recive a file using pidgin i get a message "file transfer from .... failed" .... canceled the file transfer of... " but my friend doesn't canceled the file. i am on linux and he is on windows, using yahoo messenger
[20:51] <s3rris> so... i have to partion in OSX first? 0_0
[20:51] <lunks> How can I SSH into a host, map a remote port to a local port, and not get console access, just the port forwarding?
[20:51] <ikonia> kozminel: yahoo messanger support is scetchy at best
[20:51] <Some_Person> Pici: I have neither of those. I have 2.6.32-24, 2.6.35-19, 2.6.35-20, 2.6.35-21, and 2.6.35-22. I should remove *.25-*, right?
[20:51] <lunks> Praxi, sudo apt-get remove rails ruby && rm -rf ~/.rvm
[20:51] <kozminel> is what?
[20:51] <Some_Person> s/*.25-*/*.35-*
[20:51] <ikonia> Some_Person: sounds like your install is in a real mess, I'd look at a clean install so you are on known solid ground
[20:52] <Pici> Some_Person: Are you using maverick or lucid?
[20:52] <Some_Person> Pici: Lucid
[20:52] <Some_Person> maverick was fail on here
[20:52] <pankaj> whats the command for java installation .. plz tell me
[20:52] <postdiction> anybody here know how to change MAC address in the 10.10?
[20:52] <kozminel> ikonia what?
[20:52] <Some_Person> I thought I had formatted the drive when I installed, but I didn't
[20:52] <scala1024> hi
[20:52] <ikonia> !java >> postdiction
[20:52] <ikonia> kozminel: yahoo messanger support is poor and changes a lot as yahoo change their closed source protocol
[20:53] <postdiction> I used macchanger but, network-manager just changes it back to the hardware address
[20:53] <Tonisius> What places would set the hostname of a system?  /etc/hostname, /etc/hosts, where else could it be set?  The login prompt still shows "(none)" as the hostname
[20:53] <Tonisius> server has been rebooted several times
[20:53] <kozminel> ok..
[20:53] <ikonia> Tonisius: what does uname -a whos
[20:53] <ikonia> show
[20:53] <kozminel> what protocol should i use?
[20:53] <Pici> Some_Person: Yes.  The -35 versions are from Maverick.
[20:53] <pankaj> !java
[20:53] <kozminel> any idea?
[20:53] <Tonisius> Linuz (none) ......
[20:53] <Tonisius> Linux (none)....
[20:54] <Tonisius> ikonia: yeah...
[20:54] <ikonia> Tonisius: yeah what
[20:54] <scala1024> Sun -> is meanwhile Oracle ;-)
[20:55] <postdiction> anybody?
[20:55] <Tonisius> ikonia: how do I set the Hostname of the system, so it persists.
[20:55] <Tonisius> I pasted the information that you requested
[20:55] <yaaar> anybody use openvz on 10.04? is there a repo someplace for it? i see that apparently the only reason it wasn't included in universe was that the kernel maintainers said the packaging process would take too long and that it was too close to the freeze date... https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-March/009306.html
[20:55] <ikonia> Tonisius: /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts should be enough
[20:55] <ikonia> Tonisius: unless your hostname is being set by dhcp
[20:56] <Tonisius> ikonia: static configured interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces
[20:56] <jbsoum> hellppp
[20:56] <ikonia> Tonisius: so /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts should be enough
[20:56] <guntbert> !hostname > Tonisius
[20:56] <jbsoum> i cant seem to figure out how to run my dual boot without the windows 7 bootloader
[20:57] <tblandgi> hi ppl
[20:57] <tblandgi> try my channel on freenode #GiraffyNet
[20:57] <Tonisius> guntbert: they match, the 127.0.0.1 is set to localhost, the ip 10.0.0.10 is set to "lolcat."  and "lolcat" and the /etc/hostname is set to "lolcat."
[20:58] <majnoon_> wtg ikonia
[20:58] <postdiction> what did he do?
[20:58] <vipul> how can i open application through terminal
[20:59] <majnoon_> ban a driveby spammer
[20:59] <postdiction> oh gj ikonia
[21:00] <guntbert> Tonisius: did you log out/in after changing them?
[21:00] <vipul> Can any one tell me if i have open skypy through terminal what will be the commands to open it
[21:01] <ikonia> vipul: "skype"
[21:01] <vipul> yes
[21:01] <ikonia> vipul: that's the command
[21:02] <vipul> ikonia,  thanks
[21:02] <jbsoum> ive looked everywhere but i cant seem to find a way to do it
[21:03] <Some_Person> Pici: Ok, I've removed all the .35 versions, and if nothing else goes wrong, I'll leave it like this. Else, I'll wipe and reinstall
[21:03] <StrangeCharm> how can i replace evolution with tunderbird in the communication menu?
[21:03] <Pici> Some_Person: Good luck!
[21:03] <YankeesFan> is it worth to upgrade to tri core over dual core?
[21:03] <Some_Person> It is nice having all my old settings still here
[21:03] <guntbert> YankeesFan: how is that an ubuntu support question?
[21:03] <erUSUL> YankeesFan: depends on what you do with your computer
[21:04] <YankeesFan> ok does ubuntu work with triple core amds?
[21:04] <erUSUL> yes
[21:04] <YankeesFan> i never heard of triple core until today =(
[21:04] <nirazio> How to hide the present working directory in terminal and show time instead??
[21:04] <doriangrey> Hello anyone is using festival on ubuntu 10.10 maverik? i am not able to make it working...
[21:04] <ikonia> nirazio: look at the PS1 variable
[21:05] <jbsoum> anyone know how to boot windows 7 from grub without the windows 7 bootloader?
[21:05] <YankeesFan> my netbook dual core cpu is great but it dosent handal virtualbox well which is what i need for college
[21:05] <ikonia> jbsoum: you can't, grub has to boot the windows boot loader
[21:05] <erUSUL> nirazio: you have to tweak your PS1 var ( ~/.bashrc )
[21:08] <vipul> but i am trying to open skype via ssh  but it's not opening
[21:08] <jbsoum> (ikonia): i understand that, but there should be a way to boot windows automatically when i select windows from grub. also, there should be a way to see grub first, without having to make an addtiont to the windows bootloader for grub
[21:08] <ikonia> vipul: it's not going to, it requires local sound card/hardware
[21:08] <thansen> so what's the difference between an LTS deskto and server release?  I mean, they all come from the same repos so why would the time be any different?
[21:09] <vipul> ikonia,  ? sory i dont understand ?
[21:09] <ikonia> vipul: you can't use skype over ssh
[21:09] <lollo> ciao a tutti
[21:09] <ikonia> jbsoum: grub should auto detect windows for you and add the line, it sometimes fails to do this
[21:09] <guntbert> !it | lollo
[21:09] <lollo> !list
[21:10] <lollo> ok
[21:10] <vipul> well i am using putty and connected to my ubuntu 10.04 and i am giving this command skype , but it's not opening
[21:10] <ikonia> vipul: what part of "you can't do that" am I not making clear to you ?
[21:10] <StrangeCharm> vipul, what are you expecting to happen when you issue the command 'skype'
[21:10] <noonian> vipul, skype is a gui program, you probably not going to be able to use it over putty
[21:11] <vipul> it shud open on ubuntu
[21:11] <ikonia> vipul: no it won't
[21:11] <ikonia> vipul: it requires local hardware, and it requires an X11 server, that your not running on your windows machine
[21:11] <ikonia> vipul: it won't work
[21:11] <LWSDesigns> Bacon Backgammon
[21:11] <ikonia> LWSDesigns: ?
[21:11] <vipul> ok
[21:11] <Ileden> Any idea how to troubleshoot or diagnose a weird WLAN problem? I'm having around 20% packet loss on two laptops (T and E). T's problem appeared after upgrade to 10.10, and it still works when running older kernel. E is new, and running 10.10 too, but it dualboots Win7, where WLAN works flawless. There is also a 3rd laptop, A, which runs 10.04 and wlan works. Wired network is ok. The problem comes and goes, sometimes can't even connect to the WLAN. Changing channel 
[21:11] <loculinux-client> hola
[21:11] <LWSDesigns> lol
[21:11] <kozminel> where i could find "Software Sources..." in ubuntu 10.10?
[21:12] <thansen> so what's the difference between an LTS deskto and server release?  I mean, they all come from the same repos so why would the time be any different?
[21:12] <Darael> vipul: If you want it to run on your Ubuntu box you can issue "DISPLAY=:0 skype", but if you want to run it on your Ubuntu machine with the interface on your Windows box, you can't do that.
[21:12] <ikonia> LWSDesigns: something funny ?
[21:12] <globus> heyy i wants to use tsocks to run wine Poker in ubuntu,i think is a problem on the wine when i run:tsocks wine PokerStars.exe,console says:fixme:winsock:NtStatusToWSAError Status code 7bc473ae converted to DOS error code 7bc473ae
[21:12] <kozminel> where i could find "Software Sources..." in ubuntu 10.10?
[21:12] <LWSDesigns> the boy got a hold of the laptop
[21:12] <coz_> thansen,   /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:12] <globus> someone help me?
[21:12] <xangua> kozminel: in software center preferences
[21:12] <vipul> thanks Darael
[21:12] <ikonia> vipul: it won't work
[21:12] <kozminel> thanks
[21:12] <LWSDesigns> I have no idea where he came up with that...
[21:13] <StrangeCharm> vipul, what are you expecting to be the response when you run that command?
[21:13] <thansen> coz_: I use gentoo so I can open that, can you just give me a heads up as to what info it has in there (besides the actual repos)
[21:13] <thansen> *can't
[21:13] <Darael> ikonia: Really?  I've normally been able to open programs using SSH by setting $DISPLAY... just not to forward them locally (for the reasons you suggested)
[21:13] <coz_> thansen,  its just the repo addresses in that file
[21:13] <ikonia> thansen: few subtle differences (kernel for example)
[21:14] <globus> heyy i wants to use tsocks to run wine Poker in ubuntu,i think is a problem on the wine when i run:tsocks wine PokerStars.exe,console says:fixme:winsock:NtStatusToWSAError Status code 7bc473ae converted to DOS error code 7bc473ae
[21:14] <ikonia> Darael: skype requires local hardware, eg: sound card
[21:14] <thansen> is it just that mulitverse/universe/whatever aren't maintained as long or something
[21:14] <breadcrumb> globus, you might want to try #winehq
[21:14] <ikonia> thansen: main resource is the support term, 5 years on server, 3 on desktop
[21:14] <kozminel> Ubuntu 9.10  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
[21:14] <Darael> ikonia: Exactly.  So if you open it on the remote display, it should be fine, if unusable because you're not at the remote machine.
[21:14] <vipul> StrangeCharm,  i thought there must be some way to login my remote machine via ssh and login to my skype
[21:14] <kozminel> is this good for 10.10 ?
[21:15] <ikonia> Darael: how is the sound from the remote/local sound card going to get to your local machine
[21:15] <Darael> vipul: In that case, ikonia is right.  You can't do that.
[21:15] <xangua> kozminel: no, go to pidgin.im
[21:15] <thansen> ikonia: but they don't take the others offline after that right..meaning they're still available until main is gone as well
[21:15] <ohzie> Hey I'm using lucid and it looks like Nautilus isn't automounting usb devices? Mostly a vanilla install. Any suggestions on what could cause that?
[21:15] <ohzie> or what service handles automounting?
[21:15] <kozminel> ok
[21:15] <StrangeCharm> vipul, one step at a time. what do you think you should see happen right after sending that command?
[21:15] <Darael> ikonia: No, that's what I mean.  Opening it with X11 forwarding would be pointless, but you could open it on the remote display from SSH (though why you'd want to is another matter)
[21:15] <ikonia> thansen: the others are taken offline when they hit EOL
[21:15] <itaylor57> kozminel: Try Applications -> Unbuntu software center update
[21:16] <rj_> I have a question about btrfs. I'm putting /boot on a small thumb drive, but want the rest of the filesystem in a btrfs raid. I've been able to put root into a btrfs system, but not into a raid, since you can't change from non-raid to raid. Is there a way to do this?
[21:16] <ikonia> Darael: right so "you can't do that" rather than here is a pointless solution that offers no value but makes you do a lot of work and gives you no value, is the answer
[21:16] <kozminel> i want to send file to an yahoo account
[21:16] <Myrtti> Darael: X11 forwarding would be usable if the main goal is to use only the chat, not voice calling ;-)
[21:16] <vipul> StrangeCharm, ? i have given you the answer
[21:16] <kozminel> and ad an APT line
[21:16] <Darael> ikonia: True.  I wasn't quite aware of what the request was, should have read the log or something.
[21:17] <Darael> Myrtti: Good point!
[21:17] <ikonia> he still doesn't have a local X server on his windows machine
[21:17] <ikonia> so it STILL won't work
[21:17] <StrangeCharm> vipul, no, you haven't. do you expect the skype gui to appear on the machine running putty? do you expect it to appear on the machine you're sshing to? do you expect to operate a text version of skype in the command line?
[21:17] <johntramp> hi,  I am trying to do this, `ssh 192.168.1.3 tmux attach` but am being told not a terminal
[21:18] <thansen> ikonia: ok, I'll dig around a bit more...thanks for the info
[21:18] <vipul> StrangeCharm,  no i don't mean that
[21:18] <Ileden> Any idea how to troubleshoot or diagnose a weird WLAN problem? I'm having around 20% packet loss on two laptops (T and E). T's problem appeared after upgrade to 10.10.

[21:18] <mernilleaks> Greetings!
[21:18] <Darael> johntramp: commands run from ssh like that get run in a noninteractive shell.  Do the ssh first, then run the command, and it should work.
[21:18] <StrangeCharm> vipul, none of those things are the thing that you expect to happen? what is the thing that you expect to happen?
[21:18] <johntramp> Darael: is it not possible for it to open a terminal session and exec a command?
[21:19] <ohzie> vipul: Your options for using linux X-applications locally on your windows machine are Cygwin(I've never done this but I know other people have) and NoMx. NoMx is amazing and wonderful.
[21:19] <Darael> johntramp: Not if the command needs an interactive terminal to work.
[21:19] <johntramp> Darael: ok, thanks
[21:19] <ohzie> !nomx
[21:19] <Darael> johntramp: By the attach part I assume the one you're trying to run does.
[21:19] <ohzie> !nomachine
[21:19] <ohzie> Hmm. :(
[21:20] <johntramp> Darael: i dont understand,  it works fine if i ssh then tmux attach
[21:20] <Praxi> does dpkg -l show me stuff available in the repositories also?
[21:20] <Darael> johntramp: Exactly.  tmux requires an interactive shell.  There's probably an option to ssh that will let you do what you're after, but I'm not sure what it is.
[21:21] <Praxi> In my quest to get rid of all my ruby/rails stuff I did a dpkg -l | grep ruby and came up with this, and an error when I tried to apt-get remove rubygems1.8 http://pastie.org/1396159
[21:21] <ikonia> Praxi: no, you need to use the package manager (synaptic for example) to search
[21:22] <Praxi> ikonia: this is on server, synaptic is a gui isn't it?
[21:22] <yaaar> hey guys, i'm looking into openvz on 10.04, and finding that things are a bit tricky. reading this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vzorchestra/+bug/545850 and the last suggestion is to add the debian sid repo and install the kernel from there. I suppose I don't have a huge problem with that...but won't enabling that repo cause problems elsewhere? i assume that it contains tons of packages that...
[21:22] <yaaar> ...overlap with the ubuntu ones...how does apt choose where to get those?
[21:22] <ikonia> Praxi: that's not an error
[21:22] <ikonia> Praxi: apt-cache search on the command line
[21:22] <ikonia> Praxi: I suggest reading the server welcome on https://help.ubuntu.com to learn the basics of running a server before going any futher
[21:22] <paq7512> how can i save these settings after restart? my gpu fan settings - http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/1584/screenshotwp.png
[21:22] <Praxi> Thanks ikonia will that show me if I have things installed?
[21:23] <xangua> yaaar: dont do it
[21:23] <ikonia> Praxi: no, it will search the repos
[21:23] <xangua> don't
[21:23] <ikonia> xangua: don't what ?
[21:23] <Darael> johntramp: You want ssh -t, looking at the man page.
[21:24] <xangua> ikonia: mix repositories
[21:24] <phillyj> anyone know why a port is blocked even though I set the rule in my router?
[21:24] <phillyj> Do I have to use iptables?
[21:24] <johntramp> Darael: excellent,  thank you
[21:24] <ikonia> phillyj: default iptables rules are al open
[21:25] <lacrymology> how can I have an old stile linux prompt with just the top dir?
[21:25] <itaylor57> Darael: I just found that via the man page myself, you are fast
[21:25] <phillyj> ikonia: maybe a restart can fix it?
[21:25] <Darael> itaylor57: I've had practice at skimming manpages :P
[21:26] <scala1024> lacrymology, PS1?
[21:26] <ikonia> phillyj: don't see why
[21:26] <yaaar> xangua: well if the Ubuntu kernel developers hadn't turned down a ready kernel for inclusion the day *before* the freeze date because it was "too late...all the kernels were already uploaded today" (when it was still "today"!!) i wouldn't be trying such ridiculous workarounds. but since they did....any good advice on how i should obtain the appropriate kernel? preferably without compiling it...
[21:26] <yaaar> ...and fighting with apt overwriting it?
[21:27] <ikonia> yaaar: stop ranting about it,
[21:27] <lacrymology> scala1024: what_
[21:27] <lacrymology> ?
[21:27] <Darael> The network-manager applet vanishes every so often (sometimes ~30 mins, sometimes ~4 hours) on my Maverick box.  Running it from the terminal shows it's getting signal 15 (sigterm).  What can I do about it?
[21:28] <phillyj> ikonia: how can I find out the list of ports and see if they're open?
[21:28] <scala1024> lacrymology, PS1 sets the prompt.
[21:28] <ikonia> phillyj: iptables -L
[21:28] <yaaar> ikonia: ok, that's fine, i'll leave it alone at that. still would like to have some kind of solution. got any advice on what to do about the missing kernel? all the userspace stuff is apparently there
[21:28] <xangua> yaaar: i use this PPA, use it Under Your Own Risk  https://launchpad.net/~guido-iodice/+archive/best-intel
[21:28] <yaaar> xangua: thanks, checking that out now
[21:29] <xangua> oo appropriate¿¿ i read altest
[21:29] <xangua> latest*
[21:29] <Praxi> ikonia: I read the server guide from your link about packages, from the reading, it looks like the only way I have to show me installed packages is dpkg -l am I mistaken with that?
[21:30] <yaaar> xangua: er...that says it's packages for graphics cards? are you saying that kernel also happens to have openvz support?
[21:30] <Praxi> and it was useful reading too, thanks for making me go back and RTM hehe
[21:30] <sam-_-> Darael, from whom does it get the signal?
[21:30] <ikonia> Praxi: dpkg will show you the packages you have yes
[21:30] <xangua> yaaar: din't read the openvz part, i thpught you just wanted the latest kernel
[21:30] <Darael> sam-_-: I haven't a clue.  It doesn't say; is there any way I can find out?
[21:31] <itaylor57> sam-_-: would dmesg haveit?
[21:31] <sam-_-> Darael obviously but i can't think of a simple way right now
[21:31] <Praxi> ikonia: so in the pastie I have http://pastie.org/1396159 I SEE rubygems1.8 from that dpkg.  When I do a apt-get remove rubygems1.8 it tells me its not installed.  What am I misunderstanding?
[21:31] <yaaar> xangua: no, i really couldn't care less about the kernel version....i just want a working openvz system on lucid, preferably without compiling the kernel for every update
[21:32] <ikonia> !info rubygems
[21:32] <ikonia> Praxi: sudo apt-get remove rubgems
[21:32] <i_is_broke> ikonia, wouldnt purge work as well as remove?
[21:32] <osmosis> how do I view the new changelog before installing an update?
[21:33] <ikonia> i_is_broke: it will
[21:33] <Praxi> doing that tells me rubygems isn't installed, but it still shows up in my dpkg

[21:33] <ikonia> Praxi: it's gone, let me find a link that explains the letters for you

[21:34] <Praxi> I've been googling dpkg but I just get the basics like dpkg -l and stuff hehe

[21:36] <ohzie> Hey I'm using lucid and it looks like Nautilus isn't automounting usb devices? Mostly a vanilla install. Any suggestions on what could cause that?
[21:36] <kozminel> but does anyone have an idea how to fix it?

[21:36] <tunist> sam: there is no label that suggests pressing F6
[21:37] <frxstrem> is it possible to set Gmail as Ubuntu's default mail client with support for mailto: parameters (such as "?subject=something")?
[21:37] <kozminel> to give me an API code ?:)
[21:37] <kozminel> this is what i want
[21:37] <ikonia> frxstrem: gmail isn't a mail client, it's webmail
[21:37] <ikonia> kozminel: it's closed source,
[21:37] <itaylor57> frxstrem: you can connect to Gmail from evolution
[21:38] <nullwire> my webcam works on cheese webcam booth, but not when anything else trys to find it
[21:38] <frxstrem> ikonia: well, it's just an online mail client
[21:38] <nullwire> what can i do?
[21:38] <frxstrem> itaylor57: well, I don't like it
[21:38] <ikonia> frxstrem: no, it's a webmail service, it's not a client, its web page
[21:38] <Myrtti> frxstrem: I'm sure that there are extensions to your browser to make the mailto links to go to gmail, I know Chrome has one
[21:39] <frxstrem> Myrtti: I am not only talking about browsers, but system wide, like the "Preferred application" settings does
[21:39] <nullwire> how come nothing can find my webcam except cheese webcam booth?
[21:39] <Darael> frxstrem: You could set the mail client under preferred applications to "custom" and use a command that opens <your browser here> at an appropriate link.  Good luck crafting one, though.
[21:39] <kozminel> funny thing, if i use kopete i can send/recive files from an yahoo user. with pidgin i can't
[21:39] <user_> Has anyone been able to get truecrypt working over a windows share? I'm having a real issue with it.

[21:40] <Myrtti> kozminel: use kopete
[21:40] <KM0201> kozminel: i send/receive from yahoo w/o issue.
[21:40] <kozminel> ha ha ha
[21:40] <kozminel> what an answer
[21:41] <nullwire> how come nothing can find my webcam except cheese webcam booth?
[21:41] <kozminel> thanks for nothing
[21:41] <sam-_-> tunist, i don't know then. the bootloader is called isolinux. i don't know how to use it. maybe someone else does
[21:41] <itaylor57> KM0201: O/
[21:42] <sam-_-> tunist, oh i just found out
[21:42] <sam-_-> tunist, you need to edit this file isolinux.cfg
[21:42] <Darael> frxstrem: Looks like the desktop-webmail package will do what you want.  As long as you're in Lucid or Maverick, at least.
[21:42] <KM0201> itaylor57: lol... o/
[21:42] <sam-_-> tunist, so i lied to you before about not editing files :-)
[21:42] <bencahill> sam-_-, sry was afk :) I tried the usb modules in grub as per Jordan_U's instructions, and they do not work with my usb stick. I'm not surprised, since only those without bioses capable of booting to usb need them, and therefore they probably get very little attention.
[21:43] <W3ird_N3rd> I'm still running Ubuntu 9.10. When I right-click to properties of my disk, it says "filesystem type: ext3/4". Why doesn't it detect it properly? It's ext2? How do I know if it's really mounted/written as ext2?
[21:43] <phillyj_> i was having port forward troubles in WUBI ubuntu even though the port is open on the router so I rebooted but loaded up windows so as I check the port on windows, I see that I have a problem in windows with the port Could a problem in Windows affect WUBI?
[21:43] <ikonia> W3ird_N3rd: mount will show
[21:43] <phretor> how do I set up an APT repository the proper way?
[21:43] <sam-_-> bencahill is your computer old?
[21:43] <W3ird_N3rd> ikonia, thx, mount shows ext2 so it's good
[21:43] <W3ird_N3rd> I have to be sure in this case
[21:43] <tunist> sam: i want my money back.. ;p  -- so i can edit that file and change the boot line options? is that what you mean?
[21:43] <frxstrem> Darael: it is indeed what I'm looking for, thanks! :D
[21:43] <ikonia> phillyj_: it's most likley your router if it doesn't work in windows and ubuntu
[21:44] <bencahill> sam-_-, yes, it's an old (00-02) laptop that wouldn't be used for anything else (128mb ram, the works)
[21:44] <sam-_-> tunist, yes
[21:44] <tunist> @sam: ok thanks a lot.. i'll look now
[21:44] <bencahill> sam-_-, all I want is for the digital picture frame I'm making to be quiet :) so if I could get ubuntu to stop reading from the hard drive so it can spin down (hdparm -S), that would be fine also
[21:44] <Darael> W3ird_N3rd: If you run mount with no options, it'll show you all the mounts active, which will include the type it's mounted as.
[21:45] <sam-_-> bencahill get an ssd then :-)
[21:45] <Darael> W3ird_N3rd: Oh, whoops, ikonia was much faster.
[21:45] <W3ird_N3rd> yeah, had already found it :)
[21:45] <W3ird_N3rd> thx anyway :)
[21:45] <sam-_-> bencahill you can tune ubuntu though to use the disk less.
[21:45] <bencahill> sam-_-, well I might as well buy a digital picture frame, I don't have any ssd's lying around :)
[21:46] <W3ird_N3rd> btw, perhaps you know if Ubuntu 9.10 still had ext4 corruption?
[21:46] <bencahill> sam-_-, how? :) :)
[21:46] <sam-_-> bencahill not sure if you will be happy with that though
[21:46] <W3ird_N3rd> Because I'm noticing corruption
[21:46] <bencahill> sam-_-, oh :(
[21:46] <sam-_-> bencahill disable all the unnecessary applications and set a few options
[21:46] <sam-_-> bencahill probably best if you google it
[21:48] <bencahill> sam-_-, well it's a cli (obviously), and I've only installed what I need, which is fbi,wireless drivers, and wpa_supplicant, along with a few other, like samba to share the pics folder
[21:48] <sam-_-> tunist, btw you need to write the options in the line that starts with append
[21:48] <bencahill> sam-_-, I did set the disk for writeback (before) and it didn't really help at all, so I would guess that it's reading...
[21:49] <nmvictor> hi to all 1520 human beings ...
[21:49] <Ileden> Any idea how to troubleshoot or diagnose a weird WLAN problem? I'm having around 20% packet loss on two laptops (T and E). T's problem appeared after upgrade to 10.10. T's WLAN still works when booting with older kernel. E is new so running 10.10. E also dualboots Win7, where WLAN works flawless. There is also a 3rd laptop, A, which runs 10.04 and wlan works. The problem comes and goes, sometimes can't even connect to the WLAN. Signal strength is good. Changing cha

[21:49] <Darael> nmvictor: Not every nick in here /is/ a human being, actually :P.  Theres' a couple of bots.
[21:49] <bencahill> nmvictor, hi there :) do you have a question regarding ubuntu?
[21:51] <tunist> @sam: the isolinux.cfg file only has one line in it
[21:51] <sam-_-> tunist, which one?
[21:52] <Jemt> tunist: Remastering Ubuntu ?
[21:52] <sam-_-> tunist, maybe i told you bs again. i never used pendrivelinux
[21:52] <tunist> @sam: # D-I config version 2.0include menu.cfgdefault vesamenu.c32prompt 0timeout 50ui gfxboot
[21:53] <Jemt> tunist: That's not supposed to be on one line
[21:53] <Schumann> I have a very lazy question regarding Ubuntu.
[21:53] <tunist> @sam: oh ok, so there is a bug in pendrivelinux i guess
[21:53] <OY1R> ask away
[21:53] <Jemt> tunist: 'cat isolinux.cfg' - no line breaks ?
[21:53] <Ileden> Schumann: then we may have a lazy answer for it :)
[21:53] <sam-_-> tunist, no i don't think so. why?
[21:53] <blackknight> hii
[21:53] <tunist> @sam: just because that file is not formatted correctly
[21:54] <tunist> @sam: i assumed the line was written by the script from PDL

T's WLAN still works when booting with older kernel. E is new so running 10.10. E also dualboots Win7, where WLAN works flawless. There is also a 3rd laptop, A, which runs 10.04 and wlan works. The problem comes and goes, sometimes can't even connect to the WLAN. Signal strength is good. Changing cha

[22:02] <dashx> aeon> what do you mean by upstart? Are we talking System > Preferences > Startup Applications ?
[22:02] <nmvictor> IdleOne: its ok boss, will never happen again! and i like your name, kind of tells alot
[22:02] <nmvictor> IdleOne: nick*
[22:02] <spencer> darael it's just disappearing from the panel, right?
[22:02] <kartoffel> does anyone know where i can find the standard configuration of my touchpad?
[22:02] <Darael> spencer: That's correct.  Running it from the terminal tells me it's getting signal 15, don't know why.
[22:03] <aeon-ltd> dashx: no, 2/3 releases ago ubuntu ditched init in favor of upstart as a manager
[22:03] <aeon-ltd> !upstart
[22:03] <spencer> kartoffel have you tried system>?prefs>mouse?
[22:03] <spencer> darael it does that sometimes, I've never figured out why
[22:03] <kartoffel> no, i will have a look
[22:03] <dashx> So 10.10 comes with upstart ?
[22:03] <aeon-ltd> dashx: yeah
[22:04] <r00t4rd3d> nmvictor, your connection is not shared by default.
[22:04] <[lan3y]> Nice work with the installation manager on 11.04 Building updates in to the install was a really good idea :)
[22:04] <spencer> nmvictor got kicked
[22:04] <Darael> spencer: That's all very well, but when it's happening quite often and I need IPv6 so wicd is not an option, it becomes a pain!
[22:04] <aeon-ltd> dashx: again (ot and imo) i like things breaking in arch (well not huge problems) but you get to know your system better everytime it happens :)
[22:04] <nmvictor> IdleOne: sorry, i dint mean to hurt you, will behave this time, please let me in?Please...
[22:05] <spencer> 11.04 hasn't been even been released yet, has it?
[22:05] <dashx> Aeon-ltd: Yeah Aeon I really like arch but I was getting tired of fixing everything, although I got to really understand arch linux. Im having issues figuring out how I want to have deluged run automatically.
[22:05] <phillyj> Guest61692: have you tired the system preferences?
[22:05] <Darael> spencer: Correct.  Look at the numbers (they're release dates).
[22:05] <dashx> And the arch wikis were amazing.
[22:05] <breadcrumb> spencer, 11.04 stands for 2011/4th month so no
[22:05] <r00t4rd3d> nmvictor, to verify , goto System , Preferences , Network Connection. Choose your adapter , choose edit , IPv4 Settings. In the METHOD box make sure Shared to other computers is not selected.

[22:26] <ZykoticK9> XiaolinDraconis, that's the one - thanks.  ya i've never tried it.
[22:26] <XiaolinDraconis> ZykoticK9, it got me some purdy awesome themes
[22:26] <nmvictor> Lizzard88: you can reinstall it back to the desired partition if thats the case
[22:27] <Ileden> celthunder: I don't know how to disable network manager and connect from console, so haven't tried. I don't see how DNS server could be issue, since I'm doing ping by IP, and there's sometimes even trouble connecting to the WLAN.
[22:27] <rethus> till my upgrade from xubuntu 10.04 to newest version, i have no sound. hwinfo --sound output this: http://pastebin.com/tte7remA
[22:27] <justin__> Does anyone else have a Dell inspiron Zino Hd with working sound?
[22:27] <ZykoticK9> XiaolinDraconis, guess i'm just old school that way - i get plain ol' grub at every boot and think it's just fine ;)
[22:27] <itaylor57> Milp_main: wait a sec
[22:27] <valros> Is there a wildcard with grep and sed that includes a new line? maybe [.\n]* ?
[22:27] <XiaolinDraconis> ZykoticK9, i like the bells and whistles have ocd issue with customizing every aspect
[22:28] <ZykoticK9> XiaolinDraconis, well best of luck.
[22:28] <XiaolinDraconis> thanks again
[22:28] <XiaolinDraconis> wish the plymouth manager would work
[22:28] <XiaolinDraconis> anyone here customized the boot loading screen?
[22:30] <dashx> exit
[22:30] <Jemt> XiaolinDraconis: Just ask the actual question
[22:30] <XiaolinDraconis> that was the actual question
[22:30] <nmvictor> Lizzard88: use the grub-install command, man grub(-install) , goodluck, gotta hit the suck!
[22:30] <rethus> till my upgrade from xubuntu 10.04 to newest version, i have no sound. hwinfo --sound output this: http://pastebin.com/tte7remA
[22:30] <Jemt> Yes, someone have customized it
[22:30] <XiaolinDraconis> if someone here has and cares to tell me how they achieved
[22:31] <jimcooncat_> quick link to help on static ip? using gui no opportunity to sudo
[22:31] <Jemt> Again, just ask the actual question
[22:31] <Darael> The network-manager applet vanishes every so often (sometimes ~30 mins, sometimes ~4 hours) on my Maverick box.  Running it from the terminal shows it's getting signal 15 (sigterm).  What can I do about it?  Can I find out where the sigterm is coming from, wihout rewriting nm-applet?
[22:31] <s3rris> anyone here have experience with Mac OSX?
[22:31] <XiaolinDraconis> so what question do you want me to ask i have 5k of em
[22:31] <Bilz> hello
[22:31] <XiaolinDraconis> all of them about ubuntu
[22:31] <spencer> hi bilz, what can we do ya for?
[22:31] <Jemt> XiaolinDraconis: You probably want to look into remastering, which covers customizing ISOLinux/GFXBoot
[22:32] <Jemt> XiaolinDraconis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[22:32] <XiaolinDraconis> i have remastersys
[22:32] <Bilz> trying to run ubuntu 10.04 from usb stick on my computer. it doesnt seem to get past the first loading screen (purple screen, says ubuntu with 5 dots which go purple then white)
[22:32] <Bilz> the usb is fine, it works on my laptop
[22:32] <Jemt> XiaolinDraconis: Read the docs, they cover ISOLinux/Gfxboot
[22:32] <spencer> bilz, give it some time?
[22:32] <jimcooncat_> !staticip
[22:32] <Bilz> spencer, i gave it about 20 minutes
[22:32] <Bilz> spencer, and its not a slow computer
[22:32] <ZykoticK9> XiaolinDraconis, not sure if it's of interest but I _finally_ got high res Plymouth (with my Nvidia proprietary driver) using the script webupd8 published a while ago for 10.04 & 10.10 - http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html
[22:33] <spencer> bilz ooh. Have you tried re-doing the stick?
[22:33] <Bilz> currently downloading ubuntu 10.10 to see if that works, but id really prefer to stick with 10.04 since its been around longer and im no ubuntu to pro so support is welcome :)
[22:33] <Bilz> spencer, yes. ive done it using usb-creator in ubuntu and the unet thingy in xp, both gave some problem
[22:33] <jimcooncat_> I need to set this to a static ip, I'm not able to with maverick's gui
[22:33] <XiaolinDraconis> ZykoticK9, only if i can find out how to get my gfx card installed on my new small form factor pc
[22:34] <spencer> bilz have you tried unetbootin?
[22:34] <Bilz> spencer, yes, thats the program i said. unet thingy :)
[22:34] <ZykoticK9> XiaolinDraconis, well if you are using open drivers then you probably have full resolution plymouth anyway ;)
[22:34] <XiaolinDraconis> i do but i want to change the plymouth theme
[22:34] <Gilos> spencer thanks for the Xchat recommendation.. much more to my liking.
[22:35] <tunist> @sam: i inserted debug and acpi=off.. both after the -- and before ... (on different attempts to boot).. neither had any obvious effect.. ACPI is still listed in the initiation text - ACPI: Core revision 20100428
[22:35] <XiaolinDraconis> put something fancy on it
[22:35] <spencer> bilz Oh right I forgot, the IUPAC just said a few weeks ago that "thingy" was a technical term now :) (just giving you a hard time) hmm... have you tried a liveCD?
[22:35] <Darael> jimcooncat_: It's normally possible.  Right-click the network manager applet, edit the connection, ipv4 settings tab, change the dropdown to manual, off you go.
[22:35] <itaylor57> Milp_main: ind . -type f -exec \
[22:35] <itaylor57>  perl -e 'rename($_, lc) || warn "$_: $!\n" for @ARGV' {} \;
[22:35] <itaylor57> [download]
[22:35] <valros> What would be a wildcard in grep that includes line endings?
[22:36] <ZykoticK9> XiaolinDraconis, i don't know the current procedure.  I haven't bothered changing my plymouth theme since it first came out on ubuntu.
[22:36] <XiaolinDraconis> i dunno bout thingy but thingumuhjigger sure is
[22:36] <spencer> right on, xiaolindraconis
[22:36] <Bilz> spencer, no i have not
[22:36] <ZykoticK9> XiaolinDraconis, I only see it for a few seconds
[22:37] <XiaolinDraconis> its ocd
[22:37] <XiaolinDraconis> i have to customize as much as possible
[22:37] <itaylor57> Milp_main: find . -type f -exec \ perl -e 'rename($_, lc) || warn "$_: $!\n" for @ARGV' {} \;
[22:37] <ZykoticK9> XiaolinDraconis, dco - like ocd but in correct alphabetical order
[22:37] <spencer> Bilz try that
[22:37] <ZykoticK9> XiaolinDraconis, cdo
[22:37] <XiaolinDraconis> lmao
[22:37] <Bilz> spencer, okay
[22:37] <jimcooncat_> Darael, the Apply button remains greyed out, perhaps because it's not running under sudo?
[22:38] <XiaolinDraconis> cdo 123
[22:39] <itaylor57> Milp_main: put sudo before that command
[22:39] <jimcooncat_> Darael, but it's enabled if I leave out the gateway address
[22:39] <Darael> jimcooncat_: I've not seen that happen before.  Not sure how to deal with it.  However.  It would perhaps be better to ask the channel what to do about that than to try to force it from the command line.  Especially if it's a wireless connection.
[22:39] <Darael> jimcooncat_: That's even stranger.  Perhaps your gateway address is of the wrong format?
[22:40] <sam-_-> tunist, oh that's disappointing. maybe that's not the file that gets used by isolinux
[22:40] <spencer> is there any way to explore the host of an "ad-hoc" wifi connection?
[22:40] <mark2010> after upgrading to 2.6.35-24, grub2 kernel panics - unable to sync VFS. update-grub appeared to work, i can boot 2.6.35.23, any advise?
[22:40] <jimcooncat_> Darael, you're a genius. Had an extra dot in it!
[22:40] <Milp_main> thanks itaylor57
[22:40] <Jezek> i cant mount my hard drive
[22:40] <Darael> jimcooncat_: I'm no genius.  Glad I inspired you to see what was wrong, though!
[22:41] <spencer> jezek can you give us more detail?
[22:41] <itaylor57> Milp_main: np hope it helps, perl is a wonderful thing
[22:41] <Jezek> what should i do
[22:41] <Jezek> it just stalls
[22:41] <Jezek> i click on the drive
[22:41] <Jezek> nothing happens
[22:41] <spencer> jezek it could be a physical problem, been playing cricket or baseball with your HDD?
[22:41] <s3rris> Does anyone know how to make a .dmg a .img?
[22:41] <sam-_-> tunist, if this option does nothing boot_delay=9999 then it's not working
[22:41] <Darael> Jezek: What filesystem is on the drive?  And I'm assuming that it's not the same hard drive you've been booting from.
[22:41] <KM0201> s3rris: sorry, i had to step away, yes.. if you use one of those tools to extract the ISO onto a thumb drive and make it bootable,  it should work
[22:42] <XiaolinDraconis> Jemt, im at the part i believe you intended me to read
[22:42] <Darael> spencer: As funny as that is, I have to be a pain here and say "not helpful (probably)"
[22:42] <tunist> sam: ok, i'll try that one
[22:42] <Jezek> its a ubuntu hard drive, so whatever they are normally formatted as
[22:42] <jimcooncat_> how to restart eth0?
[22:42] <s3rris> KM0201: I think i figured out how to make it .img, well .dmg, I need to know how to convert .dmg to .img..
[22:42] <Jezek> i have two ubuntu partitions because this didn't have enough space
[22:42] <spencer> darael well, it could be a physical problem. Jezek, does it make any sounds? Can you hear the drive rev up?
[22:42] <Jezek> so i made the other one.. was working for a while then now it doesnt work at all
[22:42] <Jezek> it's on the same hard drive
[22:43] <XiaolinDraconis> Jemt, well maybe not
[22:43] <spencer> jezek how are you here right now? another computer? also, about how long did the partitions last?
[22:43] <Jezek> another partition
[22:43] <Jezek> i'm trying to mount the partition i guess i should hav esaid
[22:44] <Jezek> uhh it was working for a few weeks
[22:44] <Jezek> but now when i boot up it says some errors and i cant access the files from another partition either
[22:44] <spencer> jezek please tag your responses, and did you do anything major on them, did you tweak the OS at all?
[22:44] <Jezek> no
[22:44] <Jezek> i'm not sure what tagging my responses is
[22:44] <Darael> !who | Jezek
[22:45] <Darael> Jezek: That ^^^
[22:45] <Jezek> ok
[22:45] <Jezek> spencer,
[22:45] <spencer> darael do you guys get sent a big book of ubottu commands?
[22:45] <spencer> jezek one line, like how I type my responses
[22:45] <BernardV> Darael: Did you manage to get the realtek to do what you want it to do?
[22:45] <Jemt> XiaolinDraconis: You still haven't told us what you want to customize
[22:46] <Jezek> i was tagging my previous responses
[22:46] <XiaolinDraconis> Jemt, yes i have but here goes again.. the plymouth boot screen
[22:46] <Jezek> spencer, i can find out the errors too if i have to. but it said something like /root/dev/ missing.. /sbin/init/ missing
[22:47] <Jezek> i thought i would still be able to access the files though
[22:47] <Darael> BernardV: Yes! Well, not the dropouts, they're still there.  But the other thing is sorted.  Turned out something had overwritten /etc/dbus-1/wpa_supplicant.conf with a blank file so wpasupplicant was blocking nm.
[22:47] <wolfric> how do i disable default setting of automatically connect to this wifi network when i connect to one? There was an answer on a forum that said applications-system tools-configuration editor. I don't seem to have it.
[22:47] <Darael> BernardV: Well remembered and thanks for checking up!
[22:47] <wolfric> i realise you can do it manually for each network though
[22:47] <Jemt> XiaolinDraconis: That's not covered by the docs
[22:47] <Jemt> ..  i linked to
[22:47] <Jemt> XiaolinDraconis: Did you ask Google ?
[22:48] <XiaolinDraconis> Jemt, yes and google pointed me to plymouth-manager
[22:48] <BernardV> Darael: np.. always currious;) Maybe I ru into something similar in future, always nice to know what the problem was :)
[22:48] <Jezek> should i use fsck to repair it?
[22:49] <BernardV> Well if someone wants to install ubuntu on an embedded geode, I now know enough :)
[22:50] <bencahill> BernardV, lol I'm just trying to get it to work on usb!
[22:50] <TomBosleyExp> I'm trying to connect to shares on a windows 7 home premium machine from ubuntu 11.04 (updated and running samba); it prompts for username and password, but just comes back up with the login box
[22:50] <Jezek> Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sda7
[22:50] <BernardV> bencahill: Booting from USB?
[22:51] <tunist> sam: i used boot_delay=9999 in the isolinux file and also the file of the same name in syslinux
[22:51] <tunist> sam: no change on boot at all
[22:51] <Jezek> is there any way of accessing the files
[22:51] <bencahill> BernardV, yeah, but neither the bios nor grub support the usb stick/pcmcia usb adapter
[22:51] <Darael> Jezek: You need to be root to use fsck.  Use sudo.
[22:51] <sam-_-> tunist, i just tried boot_delay myself. it doesn't work for me either ;-(
[22:51] <bencahill> BernardV, I'm working on Plop now :)
[22:51] <BernardV> bencahill: and no other USB (just asking)
[22:52] <OY1R> how can i use my internal sound card while having a USB sound card connected ! (selecting sound device in  System>pref's>sound does NOT work.)
[22:52] <Jezek> Darael, says device or resource busy
[22:52] <tunist> sam: ah ok.. i have yet to use debug or acpi=off in the syslinux file
[22:52] <hidnshadows> sup guys
[22:52] <tunist> sam: i'm not sure what the difference is between syslinux and isolinux
[22:52] <Darael> Jezek: In that case, something is using it.  Try issuing "mount" to see if it's been mounted and not reported to the GUI, or something like that.
[22:53] <hidnshadows> tunist isn't ISOlinux the liveCD?
[22:53] <TomBosleyExp> I've got LmCompatibilityLevel on the win7 box set to 1, password sharing turned off, public folders on, file and print sharing on, 40/56 bit encryption on, and use user accounts on
[22:53] <hidnshadows> jezek have you checked the /media folder?
[22:53] <bencahill> BernardV, no, although I may be able to try another one this weekend
[22:53] <Jezek> Darael, can't find /dev/sda7
[22:53] <bencahill> BernardV, well plenty actually, but not 2GB+ :)
[22:53] <Jezek> ~/media?
[22:53] <e01> i had problems with recordmydesktop, it won`t record and sound from the soundcard, how can i make it working?
[22:53] <Jezek> or where
[22:54] <tunist> sam: i don't know, but both version of the files contain menu references and boot options that point to both 'install from hard drive' and 'run from cd'
[22:54] <BernardV> bencahill: Yeah I ment the usb port
[22:54] <Jezek> nvm
[22:54] <hidnshadows> !who|jezek
[22:54] <sam-_-> tunist, i don't know either. sry
[22:54] <tunist> sam: if that's the difference you are pointing to/thinking of
[22:54] <bencahill> BernardV, doesn't work with the in-built 1.1 ports either, so I don't think it's that
[22:54] <hidnshadows> jezek, just open a nautilus window, then go to filesystem, then hit media
[22:55] <Jezek> ok
[22:55] <tunist> sam: ok, thanks for assisting.. i know a bit more about how the boot works anyhow... maybe i can figure it out from here
[22:55] <BernardV> bencahill: Hmm.. and you have the option to select boot from USB in your bios?
[22:55] <Jezek> hidnshadows, there are two drives that i can't access
[22:55] <Jezek> you do not have permissions
[22:55] <Lint01> is it possible to create temporary files automatica;;y?
[22:55] <Darael> The network-manager applet vanishes every so often (sometimes ~30 mins, sometimes ~4 hours) on my Maverick box.  Running it from the terminal shows it's getting signal 15 (sigterm).  What can I do about it?  Can I find out where the sigterm is coming from, wihout rewriting nm-applet?
[22:55] <tsrk> I need to clear the hard disk that my / partition is mounted on. How can I do this without physical access to the server?
[22:55] <sam-_-> tunist, ok i will msg. if i get to know sth
[22:56] <BernardV> hidnshadows: ISOlinux a bootloader, just like syslinux.. but syslinux runs on a FAT filesystem
[22:56] <hidnshadows> jezek hang on, in the meantime make a new custom launcher on the panel and I'll look up that code
[22:56] <tunist> sam: ok, thanks a lot
[22:56] <hidnshadows> bernardv okay, just curious
[22:56] <Jezek> hidnshadows, what?
[22:56] <BernardV> hidnshadows: But yes, the LiveCD uses ISOLinux :)
[22:56] <hidnshadows> jezek go to terminal, type this in : gksudo "gnome-open %u"
[22:56] <Darael> tsrk: Without hosing your / partition?  Unmount any other partitions and format them?  If you need to completely wipe it, you have no way of doing this effectively without physical access.
[22:57] <Jezek> no such file or directory
[22:57] <hidnshadows> darael does tsrk need to wipe a disk?
[22:57] <Jezek> hidnshadows, no such file or directory
[22:57] <tsrk> Darael: I want to hose my / partition along with the rest of the disk... I don't want any data to remain though
[22:57] <hidnshadows> jezek, then try sudo gnome-open
[22:57] <Darael> hidnshadows: 22:55:52 < tsrk> I need to clear the hard disk that my / partition is mounted on. How can I do this without physical access to the server?
[22:57] <tsrk> hidnshadows: Yes
[22:58] <Darael> tsrk: You need physical access.
[22:58] <induz> how can I restore' my synaptic Package manager "???
[22:58] <hidnshadows> tsrk oh it's a server. I was going to say, if it was a local hard drive, there's a boot disc called DBAN. that'll completely shred the drive
[22:58] <Jezek> hidnshadows, command not found
[22:58] <hidnshadows> jezek hmm... one sec
[22:58] <tsrk> Darael: ok, what would be the best I can do without physical access?
[22:59] <tsrk> hidnshadows: The problem is that it's the disk that / is mounted on
[22:59] <hidnshadows> jezek try sudo nautilus --browser
[22:59] <induz> please help me as my Synaptic Manager is showing : E: Type 'multiverse' is not known on line 50 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:59] <Darael> tsrk: Without physical access the best you can do is to run shred over any file you want to be sure is gone.  That doesn't include programs.  Data files only.
[22:59] <TomBosleyExp> no one has any idea why I can't connect to a windows 7 home share using nautilus?
[23:00] <Jezek> ok
[23:00] <Jezek> hidnshadows, why did i do that
[23:00] <tsrk> Darael: what would happen if I just shredded the disk, ignoring the fact that / is mounted?
[23:00] <tsrk> Darael: wouldn't all the programs be cached in memory long enough to finish the process?
[23:00] <BernardV> tsrk: You could create another partition, install a base linux system that can boot, change your mountpoint with fdisk or something, then reboot and hope it boots. Then wipe the old /... that could work I think.
[23:00] <Darael> tsrk: It would almost certainly fail partway through as the program you were using got overwritten with random data.
[23:01] <induz> how can i update or correct my   /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:01] <Darael> tsrk: BernardV's is the most likely method.
[23:01] <induz> my /etc/apt/sources.list  is corrupt
[23:01] <induz> please help me
[23:01] <hidnshadows> induz want me to pastebin you mine?
[23:01] <induz> /etc/apt/sources.list  i giving me errors
[23:01] <tsrk> BernardV: I like that idea... what's the best way to install a base system onto a partition like that?
[23:01] <Darael> induz: Open the Software Centre, go to prefs and change the sources.  Alternatively, run "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" from a terminal or from alt+f2.
[23:01] <bencahill> BernardV, oh no, this laptop is from the 2000-2002 era :) no boot from usb in bios, almost no bios at all :D
[23:02] <hidnshadows> bencahill weird, 2001 toshiba can boot form USB
[23:02] <Jezek> is there any other way to just recover the files?
[23:02] <Darael> !patience | induz, I realise you have an answer now but for future reference
[23:03] <BernardV> tsrk: Not sure, never done that. I would try to create a parition in a VM localy, then dd the parition to a file, upload it and dd to the parition on the server.. but not sure it would work
[23:03] <BernardV> bencahill: Ah ok.. then CD it is I think...
[23:03] <hidnshadows> induz, do you want me to PM you the code from mine, and you can try to create a new one?
[23:03] <Darael> BernardV, tsrk:  That fails for the same reason shred fails.  I tried it once.
[23:03] <Jezek> i have files i need to access asap on the hard drive
[23:03] <Darael> !who | Jezek
[23:04] <tsrk> Darael: that would be going to a different partition, not overwriting /
[23:04] <Jezek> im not speaking to anyone
[23:04] <induz> Darael and ubottu: i am trying to get  my /etc/apt/sources.list restored
[23:04] <tsrk> BernardV: that seems like a good idea, I'll try that
[23:04] <Darael> tsrk: My apologies, I must have misread.
[23:04] <Jezek> Darael, my statements weren't directed at anyone
[23:04] <BernardV> Then you could try to update your kernel to a KVM kernel, install a VM system on a real parition and use that one
[23:04] <Jezek> except that one
[23:04] <hidnshadows> tsrk what is your situation, do you need to nuke an entire hard disk? or is the pronlem that an external device has it mounted?
[23:05] <Darael> induz: ubottu is a bot!  I know you are.  The instruction I gave earlier will help you to edit it.  The fiftieth line is the one causing you problems.  Try commenting it out.
[23:05] <Darael> !patience | Jezek, in that case
[23:05] <tsrk> hidnshadows: I need to "nuke" 2 hard disks inside a server that I don't have local access to
[23:05] <induz> how can I open that file??
[23:05] <bencahill> hidnshadows, lucky! :)
[23:05] <Jezek> i only asked it once
[23:06] <BernardV> tsrk: Do you have serial console access?
[23:06] <tsrk> BernardV: actually, the issue with doing that is I doubt it's going to work first try, and if it gets stuck without ssh I'm screwed
[23:06] <tsrk> BernardV: unfortunately no
[23:06] <hidnshadows> tsrk oh, DBAN would require access. Besides, physical access is really the only way to know that you aren't doing it maliciously (not implying anything)
[23:06] <BernardV> tsrk: That's to bad... that would make things a lot easier :)
[23:06] <induz> I changed the SErver[prefered] on software Center
[23:07] <Darael> Jezek: I'm sure you know what's meant.  You're filling the channel with messages along the lines of "I really need this fixed".  We can see that.  I'm actually looking for something to help you, but a little patience will go a long way.
[23:07] <tsrk> hidnshadows: I just migrated all my virtual servers to a colo at a new DC, and I don't trust my old DC to wipe the disk. When I first got this server, it had the last customer's data on. I had very sensitive data on here that can't be leaked.
[23:07] <tsrk> hidnshadows: So it's not malicious, but I really need to get it done.
[23:07] <hidnshadows> tsrk go to the place with the server isn't possible? ROAD TRIP!!
[23:08] <tsrk> hidnshadows: Haha, I doubt th ey'd let me in
[23:08] <induz> how can i reach to #50 line??
[23:08] <tsrk> hidnshadows: This place took like a week to repsond to my billing ticket
[23:08] <BernardV> tsrk: Just ask if they can install a new base system, I don't think they will keep the old data
[23:08] <Jezek> Darael, before i was asking how to mount if it it wasn't mounting. now i was asking if there is just another copy files from the partition somehow. two seperate questions.
[23:08] <hidnshadows> tsrk there's an OS called DBAN thant securely nukes any local drives, but I don't think it'd work with a server
[23:08] <Gilos> I installed the latest 10.10 netbook software, is there a way to make the ubuntu symbol act as the main menu icon more like a normal system?  other than that, I like the icon bar that comes with netbook.
[23:08] <Jezek> *another way
[23:09] <hidnshadows> jezek do you or don
[23:09] <tsrk> BernardV: I asked before getting the server set up if they always wipe disks, and they said yes. Then, they set it up for me, and I could see the last customer's data.
[23:09] <Jezek> what?
[23:09] <BernardV> tsrk: Ouch..
[23:09] <hidnshadows> jezek can you or can't you mount the drive
[23:09] <tsrk> BernardV: Yeah... there's half the reason I'm switching
[23:09] <Jezek> hidnshadows, i cannot
[23:10] <juniour> can any one tall me how to chek mail via teminal
[23:10] <BernardV> tsrk: But your VM host doesn't have a ssh login for customers to use the XEN/KVM/?? console?
[23:10] <hidnshadows> tsrk if they;re that bad, file a report with places like the BBB. After that, try asking #backtrack if they need a new target :)
[23:10] <tsrk> BernardV: it's a physical server
[23:10] <BernardV> I have a VM host and a server, VM host has XEN console access, server has serial.. so ...
[23:10] <BernardV> ah ok
[23:10] <Darael> The network-manager applet vanishes every so often (sometimes ~30 mins, sometimes ~4 hours) on my Maverick box.  Running it from the terminal shows it's getting signal 15 (sigterm).  What can I do about it?  Can I find out where the sigterm is coming from, wihout rewriting nm-applet?
[23:11] <C_Okie> hi
[23:11] <juniour> hi
[23:11] <Jordan_U> tsrk: You can probably dd zeros to the entire drive while still booted from it.
[23:11] <C_Okie> ubuntus not as busy right now cool
[23:11] <hidnshadows> darael, the program's running the background even if the applet has disappeared. How wide is the screen, is there spacious room for the icons?
[23:11] <tsrk> Jordan_U: I was wondering if that'd work, but BernardV said that most likely it'll die half way through from trying to read something
[23:11] <juniour> can any one tell me to check mai via terminal
[23:11] <C_Okie> when is it the worst around here for asking a question as far as # of people asking
[23:12] <BernardV> tsrk: That was Darael , but I think the same ;)
[23:12] <sam-_-> juniour, mai=mail?
[23:12] <tsrk> BernardV: sorry, yeah
[23:12] <juniour> ya
[23:12] <Jordan_U> tsrk: In my experience no. Just make sure that anything that might run during that time is already running (in RAM).
[23:12] <Darael> hidnshadows: I know it is, but network-manager disconnects if the applet quits.  Screen is currently 1366x768 - I've got plenty of space for my panel icons.
[23:12] <Jordan_U> tsrk: That said, no guarantee.
[23:12] <tsrk> Jordan_U: oh you've tried it? that'd be great if it'd work
[23:12] <hidnshadows> c_0kie probably around Christmas-time, we can't be on IRC while with our families
[23:13] <BernardV> tsrk: Just try it in virtualbox or something.. easiest way to test
[23:13] <juniour> sam u know to do this
[23:13] <juniour> ?
[23:13] <tsrk> BernardV: yeah i'll do that
[23:13] <juniour> sam r u there?
[23:13] <C_Okie> hidnshadows:  and  I wouldn't want you guys to be either :) have some time off and celebrebreate! I mean time wise though as far as military time of the day
[23:13] <bencahill> !tab | juniour
[23:13] <sam-_-> juniour, try mutt
[23:13] <sam-_-> juniour, sudo apt-get install mutt
[23:14] <hidnshadows> c_0kie there isn't really a time, there's a bunch of people across the oceans and around the world, Night time's usually pretty quiet though
[23:14] <juniour> k
[23:14] <juniour>  sam
[23:15] <sam-_-> juniour, y?
[23:15] <BernardV> tsrk: But updating to a KVM kernel and installing a VM on a real parition and then changing the mountpoints would be easier then dd'ing I think.
[23:15] <Jordan_U> tsrk: And it may sound stupid but dding zeros is probably less likely to cause a crash than anything else (in C code that reads it in it's more likely to look like a null pointer/empty string/ something else that's safer than a random pointer or unterminated string).
[23:15] <C_Okie> hidnshadows:  ok gotcha thanks becuase earlier it was crazy!
[23:15] <BernardV> tsrk: If dd'ing zero's doesn't work I mean
[23:15] <bencahill> C_Okie, yeah night time is pretty guiet, except for the occasional troll (last night) :D
[23:15] <hidnshadows> Whoah bencahill I never knew that about the IRCs, thanks man!
[23:15] <Darael> bencahill: Whose night time? :P
[23:15] <BernardV> That's true Jordan_U
[23:16] <C_Okie> oooh fun stuff with bots and trolls
[23:16] <bencahill> hidnshadows, ?
[23:16] <tsrk> BernardV: That way would work better if I could get it right first try, but if it gets stuck before running SSH I'm screwed
[23:16] <hidnshadows> bencahill about the tab autocompletion
[23:16] <bencahill> Darael, CST
[23:16] <tsrk> Jordan_U: the ideal situation would be for dd and SSH to both keep running through the whole process so I can get confirmation that it finished
[23:16] <bencahill> hidnshadows, ah :) I felt pretty dumb when I found out about it too :)
[23:17] <Darael> bencahill: Ah.  I'm in GMT myself, you see, so I do wonder which time people mean sometimes.
[23:17] <hidnshadows> tsrk try contacting the company and ask if they'll run DBAN or at least wipe it?
[23:17] <bencahill> Darael, ah :)
[23:17] <induz> hello
[23:17] <juniour> exit
[23:17] <induz> how can I update my Ubuntu
[23:17] <bencahill> juniour, /quit
[23:18] <juniour> thanks
[23:18] <bencahill> juniour, :)
[23:18] <hidnshadows> induz back your stuff up and install the next one
[23:18] <Darael> induz: System->administration->update manager, or to upgrade, see hidnshadows's response.
[23:18] <hidnshadows> Is there a way to burn software to a disc and let others use it like the LiveCD works for software center?
[23:18] <BernardV> tsrk: That's true, but delete most files you know for sure you don't need, then write a lot of 0'files, delete them, write 1' files delete them etc... then you try ;) If it's not working most "for your eyes only" data will be lost
[23:19] <hidnshadows> darael I wasn't sure if induz was talking about going to maverick or patching stuff
[23:19] <Jordan_U> tsrk: Keep us updated on how it goes :)
[23:19] <tsrk> hidnshadows: as I was saying earlier this company says they wipe disks but they don't really
[23:19] <Darael> hidnshadows: Hence the dual response.  Between us, it's covered.
[23:19] <induz> I am getting Partial Update  why??
[23:20] <hidnshadows> tsrk okay, if the 1's and 0's don't work, then maybe you could request that they run that software afterwards
[23:20] <amk> quit
[23:20] <BernardV> tsrk: Where is the data you don't want others to see?
[23:20] <Darael> induz: Presumably because there's something preventing the update happening as a full one.  Go through the partial then run it again and it usually resolves.
[23:20] <tsrk> BernardV: sorry, not quite sure what you mean. are you saying I should fill the free space with junk files? that'd probably work actually
[23:20] <BernardV> tsrk: Yeah that's what i mean
[23:20] <induz> I am going to Partial way darell
[23:20] <juniour> hey i hav install mutt but on scree comming pacakage configuration
[23:20] <BernardV> tsrk: And do it a few times, with not only 0's
[23:20] <Darael> !tab | induz
[23:20] <tsrk> BernardV: it was VM disks... I made the mistake of rm'ing them instead of shredding them
[23:20] <BernardV> tsrk: Random would do
[23:20] <Loneclock> which channel do you go to to talk about internet speed issues?
[23:21] <BernardV> tsrk: Ah ok
[23:21] <juniour> postfix configuration
[23:21] <hidnshadows> induz are you behind a 3rd-party firewall when you update? my HS firewall won't let me get stuff from medibuntu
[23:21] <tsrk> BernardV: what will happen if the disks gets too full? anything bad, or will the writes just start failing?
[23:21] <Bilz> just partitioning hard drive to install ubuntu 10.04. any reasons why i shouldnt use ext4 instead of ext3?
[23:21] <juniour> how to select mail server configuration
[23:21] <Darael> Loneclock: Depends on what you think the problem is.  If you reckon it's Ubuntu, here.  If you reckon it's your network setup, try #networking and ##networking.  If you reckon it's your ISP, talk to them.
[23:21] <induz> Its doing Distro Update which i dont want  caz i had problem earlier with my USB wireless adapter
[23:21] <c0de_Red> ubottu, I noticed for some, the tab sometimes produces a colon : or a comma , . Anyway to change that?
[23:22] <bencahill> !ext4 | Bilz
[23:22] <BernardV> tsrk: I was just typing.. "Be aware that 0 free space can hang a system...not always the case"
[23:22] <c0de_Red> doh
[23:22] <Loneclock> thanks
[23:22] <induz> now i dont know ...may be i have to re-install ubuntu koala again
[23:22] <Kyle__> Hello.
[23:22] <hidnshadows> hi kyle__ hows it going. got a problem?
[23:22] <induz> I am not behing firewall other than my router
[23:23] <Kyle__> Trying to get ubuntu on a silver imac.
[23:23] <Darael> tsrk: There's some space reserved for root, so even if it gets unusably full you could boot in single-user mode (or, indeed, telinit 1) and you'd be able to sort it.
[23:23] <shubham> hello
[23:23] <hidnshadows> kyle__ do you have a boot disc?
[23:23] <induz> I just wanted to install mySpell-hun for hindi
[23:23] <Kyle__> Install goes fine, refit installed, but no linux boot.
[23:23] <Darael> BernardV: You might find that info useful as well, actually.
[23:23] <juniour> ya
[23:23] <Kyle__> hidnshadows: yup.
[23:23] <tsrk> BernardV: hmm ok... well, the disk wasn't nearly 100% full from the VM disks, so as long as I write at least that much data will I be OK? Or will the new data go on a different physical part of the disk?
[23:23] <hidnshadows> kyle__ hold down the left "option" key
[23:24] <BernardV> Darael: indeed:) But does it start ssh? If not he still has a problem
[23:24] <juniour> i am new to this thats y am cheking the command
[23:24] <tsrk> Darael: oh yeah, I was reading something about being able to unmount / in runlevel 1, would that work instead?
[23:24] <tsrk> Darael: is that what telinit does?
[23:24] <c0de_Red> is anyone familiar with the issue of iTunes freezing up when trying to run it on a VirtualBox? I've been trying for days learn how to fix this issue but no luck
[23:24] <Kyle__> hidnshadows: Did.  And it says no OS, etc etc.
[23:24] <Darael> tsrk: It's one of the things it does.
[23:24] <tsrk> Darael: will that kill my running SSH?
[23:25] <hidnshadows> kyle stupid mac and their [insert word here] proprietary BIOS and CMOS or whatever
[23:25] <juniour> wht is the use of tab key
[23:25] <Darael> tsrk: You'd want to make sure the program you wanted to use to shred was loaded into the ramdisk, along with any ssh-related files, first.
[23:25] <juniour> ?
[23:25] <bazhang> !tab | juniour
[23:25] <Darael> BernardV: Probably not, but one can change the runlevel definitions in advance so that it does.
[23:25] <Kyle__> hidnshadows: As prone as I am to agree, I'm really hoping to find a way to get this to boot nicely.
[23:25] <the_real_dave> Anyone know if it's possible to setup a PXE Server without using fancy DHCP? Just using DHCP from a router?
[23:25] <juniour> wt is autocompletion
[23:25] <juniour> ?
[23:25] <BernardV> Darael: Thanks.. never needed that yet, but good info
[23:25] <dabaRs> !firefox
[23:25] <tsrk> Darael: Do I need to create a ramdisk, or is there one created when it goes to runlevel 1?
[23:26] <bencahill> juniour, try it
[23:26] <hidnshadows> kyle__ yeah, too bad you can't just nuke the sucker and it will install fine
[23:26] <Darael> tsrk: I'm sorry, it's not my field,
[23:26] <bazhang> juniour, jun <tab> autocompletes your nick
[23:26] <shcherbak> juniour: try /ho<TAB>
[23:26] <Darael> tsrk: ... I don't know.
[23:26] <juniour> k
[23:26] <induz> same Koala not Lucid after Update as i never said Upgrade
[23:26] <tsrk> Darael: ok, thanks though... I'll mess around in a VM and see what I can figure out
[23:26] <Darael> tsrk: Good luck.
[23:26] <tsrk> thanks
[23:26] <hidnshadows> yeah tsrk good luck
[23:27] <juniour> k
[23:27] <bazhang> induz, paste.ubuntu.com with your sources.list and the output of lsb_release -a
[23:27] <juniour>  thank to
[23:27] <juniour>  all
[23:27] <tsrk> thanks hidnshadows
[23:27] <BernardV> tsrk: YEah good luck and if you find a good sollution, I'm all ears ;)
[23:27] <juniour>  to help
[23:27] <juniour>  me
[23:27] <FloodBot3> juniour: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:27] <tsrk> I'll let you all know how this goes
[23:27] <Bilz> right, ive loaded up on my livecd, but for some reason there are some partitions i cant delete through gparted. such as the extended partition containing a swap partition. also, my hard drive seems to be split funny, so that the i have first 100gb unallocated, then partition of 100gb (which i want) and then another 200gb or so free, then swap partition, then another 100gb or so. how do i rectify these problems?!
[23:27] <shcherbak> juniour: TAB in general move cursor (and sometime add rest of path/command/nick etc.)
[23:27] <juniour> k
[23:27] <tsrk> BernardV: I really don't think there's going to be a "good" solution... whatever I do is going to be a cluge of some kind
[23:27] <juniour> shcherbak
[23:27] <juniour> thanks
[23:28] <Bilz> okay, managed to get rid of the swa
[23:28] <Bilz> swap
[23:28] <BernardV> tsrk: Still curious :P
[23:28] <induz> Bazang?? what??
[23:28] <Bilz> now need to allocate the paritions in a proper order!
[23:28] <tsrk> BernardV: yeah, I'll let you know
[23:28] <Jezek> how do i cancel an ionstall that is in process
[23:28] <Jezek> *install
[23:28] <Jezek> im in ubuntu software center and the progress bar froze
[23:28] <induz> how can i go to source list??
[23:28] <Kyle__> Any refit gurus here?  Anyone know if there's editing to do to get into linux?
[23:28] <BernardV> Jezek: Pull the plug :)
[23:28] <hidnshadows> so hey guys, I heard soemthing about increasing the swap partition will make it run faster/handle more programs. Anything on this?
[23:28] <Jezek> :/
[23:29] <Jezek> BernardV, i have to restart?
[23:29] <Bilz> hidnshadows, think she just need double the memory for the swap
[23:29] <Darael> hidnshadows: Depends how much RAM you have and how much is being used.
[23:29] <Bilz> think you*
[23:29] <KM0201> hidnshadows: how much ram does your system have, and how large is your swap now?.. most newer systems probably rarely touch swap
[23:29] <BernardV> Jezek: No, I don't think so..
[23:29] <bazhang> induz, cat etc/apt/sources.list -----> copy to paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url; also the output of lsb_release -a
[23:29] <Jezek> hrm
[23:29] <BernardV> Jezek: How long ago it froze?
[23:29] <shcherbak> induz: cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:29] <Jezek> BernardV, few minutes
[23:29] <bazhang> induz, cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:29] <hidnshadows> darael km0201 it's a netbook, supposedly it has 2GiB RAM but I only ever see 1 listed
[23:30] <KM0201> hnmm
[23:30] <shcherbak> bazhang: right,
[23:30] <BernardV> Jezek: Just wait a few more, I had some install which stalled for about 10 minutes, never knew what it was...
[23:30] <Jezek> lol ok
[23:30] <BernardV> Jezek: Otherwise you could start a terminal and check the running processes and kill the installer
[23:31] <shcherbak> Jezek: you can just kill software center, then run in terminal: sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get autoremove
[23:31] <juniour> bernardv to kill process via terminal
[23:31] <Darael> hidnshadows: Might make a difference, depends how much of your hard drive you're prepared to give up for swap - but the problem may be your netbook processor.  You'll want to see what is being overused - htop does that very nicely, gnome-performance-monitor (or w/e) doesn't because it eats too much itself.
[23:31] <juniour> how can i do it
[23:31] <BernardV> yes juniour ?
[23:31] <konar> hi
[23:32] <juniour> hi
[23:32] <Darael> shcherbak: It may be necessary to remove the dpkg lock file as well if juniour does that.  Just a heads-up.
[23:32] <KM0201> s3rris: any luck?
[23:32] <shcherbak> juniour: type: top to get PID, and kill PID
[23:32] <BernardV> juniour: "ps aux" look at the PID, then "kill [PID]" and if it doesn't kill "kill -9 [PID]"
[23:32] <shcherbak> Darael: he will tell us about it
[23:32] <juniour> k
[23:32] <induz> where can i paste my source file??
[23:32] <induz> its a text file
[23:33] <Darael> shcherbak: Well, the error message for that can be a little cryptic so I thought I'd give advance warning.
[23:33] <BernardV> induz: pastebin.com
[23:33] <shcherbak> Darael: You may be right.
[23:34] <Jezek> Person who said run apt-get autoremove, "could not lock /var/lib/dpkg/block..."
[23:34] <juniour> thanks scherbak and bernardv
[23:34] <induz> http://pastebin.com/LvhgcZ1c
[23:34] <BernardV> Jezek: run it as "root"
[23:34] <techqbert> does mv have a flag where each file that was successfully moved gets deleted before moving on to the next file?
[23:34] <induz> above is my file please look at it
[23:34] <BernardV> Jezek: sudo apt-get autoremove
[23:35] <bazhang> induz, you have some breezy sources in there
[23:35] <Jezek> BernardV, same error
[23:35] <Darael> The network-manager applet vanishes every so often (sometimes ~30 mins, sometimes ~4 hours) on my Maverick box.  Running it from the terminal shows it's getting signal 15 (sigterm).  What can I do about it?  Can I find out where the sigterm is coming from, wihout rewriting nm-applet?
[23:35] <shcherbak> Jezek: check this file /var/chache/apt/lock
[23:35] <BernardV> Jezek: Or you are running another apt instance (synatic, apt, aptitude...) that locks the file
[23:35] <bazhang> induz, also, pastebin the output of lsb_release -a
[23:35] <Darael> Jezek: First run "ps -e | grep dpkg".  If there's no output, run "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock" and if there is, wait for your running installs and/or updates to complete.
[23:36] <shcherbak> Jezek: and remove it, and repead: sudo apt-get install -f
[23:36] <xangua> induz: like we have told you since the last 6 hours at least, simply delete the last 3 lines
[23:36] <Jezek> Darael, there was an output. but the install has been at 50% forever
[23:36] <bazhang> induz, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and place a # in front of the breezy sources; then save the file and sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:37] <cannonfodder> hey you guys...whats a good video editing software for ubuntu?   basically, i need to copy the audio from a video into a separate file, edit it with audacity, then overide the original audio of the video with the one i edited in audacity
[23:37] <Jezek> shcherbak, no file there
[23:37] <cretsiah> any1 familiar with this avi 2 smv converter http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~yurac/interests/smv-encode/ ?? does any1 know where i can try to alter the display size?
[23:38] <BernardV> cannonfodder: ffmpeg (console)
[23:38] <cannonfodder> thanks
[23:38] <shcherbak> Jezek: /var/lib/dpkg/lock , sorry wrong paste
[23:38] <induz> sudo apt-get upgrade ???? its for what
[23:38] <Jezek> shcherbak, there is no dkpg folder
[23:39] <VCoolio> cannonfodder: avidemux, pitivi; also for a list http://tinyurl.com/pjcls
[23:39] <juniour> it for upgrading ur system
[23:39] <Jezek> oh sorry mistyped
[23:39] <juniour> induz
[23:39] <induz> Thanks Bazhang....but I dont want to upgrade to any other version of ubunt
[23:39] <bazhang> induz, first the output of lsb_release -a in a pastebin please
[23:39] <Jezek> shcherbak, delete this file?
[23:39] <BernardV> induz: for upgrading all the packages that have a newer version
[23:39] <bazhang> induz, and then edit the sources.list
[23:39] <Darael> Jezek: Advisable to kill the running dpkg process first.
[23:39] <induz>  lsb_release -a

[23:39] <Jezek> Darael, how so
[23:39] <bazhang> induz, until you get rid of those breezy sources, you wont get it fixed
[23:40] <induz> I inserted # in front of Breezy sources and saved the source file
[23:40] <bazhang> induz, repaste it for us to see
[23:40] <induz> I have also shown my lsb-release above
[23:40] <BernardV> induz: then run "apt-get update"
[23:40] <Darael> Jezek: If you remove the lockfile, run another dpkg, then the one that's already running might at some point resume and wind up leaving your system inconsistent.  Issue "sudo killall dpkg" to be safe.
[23:41] <induz> it says : No LSB modules are available.
[23:41] <saintly> Im trying to get Compiz fusion on my 10.10, can anyone help? i have the icon and the settings manager, but none of the effects.

[23:46] <KM0201> induz: what are you trying to do, upgrade karmic?
[23:46] <strouthos> Bilz: How did you fix it?
[23:46] <bazhang> induz, the plf sources are looooong gone
[23:46] <juniour> man irssi
[23:46] <Bilz> strouthos, its a common problem, and there are a few fixes (non of which i recall). however, just google it and see what you find
[23:46] <induz> no, I dont want to Upgrade as karmic has problem
[23:46] <Jezek_> turns out acidentelly rebooting my computer fixed it
[23:46] <shcherbak> Jezek_: you sure that no synaptic, update manager is rinning?
[23:46] <bazhang> induz, you're on Karmic now
[23:46] <Bilz> strouthos, at what point i got it to work but it was jerky. im afraid i cant remember exactly what i did to fix it, but im an ubuntu noob and i googled and managed a fix
[23:46] <KM0201> induz: so what are you using?.. .all yoru repos say karmic
[23:47] <Jezek> shcherbak, it says its installed now
[23:47] <induz> wow...Karmic is working now
[23:47] <Jezek> shcherbak, can't seem to find it anywhere though
[23:47] <cryptic1> im definately a linux noob. I am trying to hook up a usb turntable and am on several sites. Most say that dmesg says it should show up ok

[23:47] <strouthos> Bilz: Ḯ've been googling it for some time myself.....
[23:47] <induz>  Earlier it had some problem with my USM DEll wireless adpater
[23:47] <induz> now its working!!!!! great
[23:47] <cryptic1> I am not finding anything and have no idea how to interpretate the dmesg results
[23:47] <shcherbak> Jezek: anyway, run commands you where given, they will clean system
[23:48] <bazhang> induz, fixed?
[23:48] <induz> I was in Koala earlier
[23:48] <KM0201> induz: wel, now you can upgrade to 10.04..lol, since karmic will be EOL in about 4mo..lol
[23:48] <induz> yes its working now

[23:50] <_jesse_> pops: /msg username
[23:50] <KM0201> pops: i asked you what your wireless device was
[23:50] <aeon-ltd> pops:  /query name
[23:50] <BernardV> pops: /msg [nick] [message]
[23:50] <induz> I want to install HunSpell
[23:51] <KM0201> induz: what is hunspell?
[23:51] <Darael> induz: sudo apt-get install hunspell
[23:51] <induz> wow!!! I am at Karmic now
[23:51] <KM0201> oh spellchecker
[23:51] <pops> sorry
[23:51] <Jemt> I'm remastering Ubuntu. Can someone tell me how to add translations for a new menu entry in isolinux/txt.cfg ?
[23:51] <pops> your name was red when you asked me i thought it was a pm
[23:51] <Bilz> strouthos, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1508556 try this?
[23:51] <hidnshadows> Does anyone here have any experience with tor/vidalia?
[23:52] <induz> why My keyboard is slow suddenly??
[23:52] <jef91> Anyone know if nautilus can handle menu protocol somehow like pcmanfm does?
[23:52] <Darael> 1anyone | hidnshadows
[23:52] <Bilz> strouthos, it looks like a page i found when i was searching
[23:52] <Darael> !anyone | hidnshadows
[23:52] <Jemt> Changing existing translations is not a problem. I just can't seem to figure out how to add one
[23:52] <C_Okie> so in the MBR, the addreses 01BE thorugh 01FD ( the table of primary partiions) is pointers to the adress and meta data on the parition itself?
[23:52] <KM0201> !tab | pops no... thats so you can see what i'm saying
[23:52] <induz> I have spellChecker... I want the dictionary
[23:52] <KM0201> pops: regardless, what is your wireless device?.. lspci should show it, assuming its internal
[23:52] <sosaited> Does anyone know dd command parameters here?
[23:53] <BernardV> hidnshadows: Yeah, don't run a tor exit node :P relay ok, but exit....you don't want to know what kind of sites are accessed
[23:53] <pops> what is lspci?  I have to warn you I'm not a very adept computer user :/
[23:53] <ridin> pops, lspci shows you the connected hardware in the computer, interally
[23:54] <Darael> !anyone 1 sosaited
[23:54] <sosaited> I want to know if to provide "records" value to "seek" parameter or the bytes?
[23:54] <BernardV> pops: lspci = list PCI devices
[23:54] <tomlikestorock_> I'm trying to upgrade a server from 6.06 to 10.04 via the command line. I've changed my /etc/apt/lists/sources.list file to point from dapper to lucid, but when I sudo apt-get update, I get this: E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-i386_Packages (1)
[23:54] <hidnshadows> I keep getting a conflict with one of my programs, on install there's a debconf setting. This setting, no matter what it is, gives me an error when I reboot. also bernardv, I'm not new to tor. I don't use it for illegal stuff, but rather getting around the school firewall
[23:54] <KM0201> pops: open a terminal, type "lspci" no quotes(and thats a lowercase L)..a nd hit enter.. it will spit out your PC's devices, find yoru wireless device in the list and tell us what ti is(don't give us the whole freaking list)
[23:54] <induz> is this the command for installing an application : sudo apt-get install
[23:54] <ridin> induz, yes
[23:54] <induz> thanks
[23:54] <juniour> yes induz
[23:55] <tomlikestorock_> is there a step I missed?
[23:55] <pops> well im using windows, otherwise i can't access the internet
[23:55] <pops> do what you said
[23:55] <pops> should i go into ubuntu
[23:55] <pops> and come back as soon as i can?
[23:55] <KM0201> !who | pops
[23:55] <KM0201> pops: yes... you should...
[23:55] <Darael> hidnshadows: Depending on your school's AUP, that may actually qualify as "illegal stuff".  I have a feeling we're not supposed to support firewall evasion even if it seems to be legal in here, but ICBW.
[23:55] <ridin> tomlikestorock_, i'm not a very good user though, but according to the wiki you can't upgrade to one very old release to something a bit modern :d
[23:56] <tomlikestorock_> ridin; ack. what should I aim for first, then?
[23:56] <hidnshadows> darael and I use it elsewhere, just so that people can't snoop, especially on open networks.
[23:56] <ridin> tomlikestorock_, i'm i can't help much, but you can try downloading and installing lucid
[23:56] <BernardV> hidnshadows: I don't judge tor. I think it's beatifull, but I ran an exit node for a few months and one day I thought.. "What the heck, I will log the url's..." What I have seen I don't want to share, but it was enough to stop being an exit
[23:57] <sam-_-> hidnshadows, how's the speed? last time i used it was 5 years ago. it was horrible
[23:57] <Darael> hidnshadows: Fair, and I'm not judging tor.  Or you.  Just a heads-up, you may not want to say the other use.
[23:57] <BernardV> sam-_-: It still is, that's why I thought it would be nice to run an exit on my 1Gbit uplink
[23:58] <hidnshadows> bernardv yeah, I know what you mean, and it sickens me. sam-_- it depends on where the tube exits. For example the common australian does very poorly
[23:58] <sam-_-> BernardV brought to you by Google?
[23:58] <rww> hidnshadows: When I've installed tor, I haven't gotten debconf prompts. What's it asking you for? Are you using packages from Ubuntu's repositories (if so, which version of Ubuntu?), or torproject.org?
[23:58] <BernardV> sam-_-: Nope
[23:59] <BernardV> sam-_-: in DCG amsterdam
[23:59] <hidnshadows> rww I'm using torproject's repos, and it's like "do you want vidalia to restart tor when run" or something
[23:59] <juniour> barnardv i am  able to watch you tube videos in movie player
[23:59] <juniour> sorr y not
[23:59] <juniour> how to enable
[23:59] <juniour> it
[23:59] <sam-_-> BernardV, but you don't have 1gbit @ home, do you?
[23:59] <rww> hidnshadows: Ah. I don't install Vidalia. It's caused problems for me with starting tor at boot, and it doesn't add much imho :\
