[00:00] <soreau> kingos: We cant really help you too much because you have already installed nonstandard packages
[00:00] <{C}ronos> when i try to mount after umount it says not in fstab
[00:01] <kingos> soreau: well, it doesn't work with the standard package :)
[00:01] <Olathe> How do I add a directory to the PATH for all users?
[00:01] <soreau> {C}ronos: You need to specify a mount point
[00:01] <soreau> {C}ronos: For example: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
[00:01] <{C}ronos> thank you
[00:02] <Rictoo> is there some tool i can use to use a GET/PUT HTTP proxy on a specific appliation?
[00:02] <Rictoo> proxychains seems to only allow CONNECT http proxies
[00:04] <ocean> soreau, would u recomend not to install that driver after trying another ubuntu install?
[00:04] <lotus> i just installed (x)ubuntu 10.10 in hopes to get rid of my grub legacy error 22... and it didn't work.  How can I fix my error 22?
[00:05] <soreau> ocean: Ideally, you should be able to install and remove the driver without a problem but this is not always the case since the two drivers conflict with each other
[00:05] <ocean> the driver which come as default is it good enough?
[00:06] <trojan_spike> lotus, go into BIOS and reset all to default
[00:06] <a7i3n>  /quit
[00:07] <NixGeek> lotus: grub error 22 is No such partition did you run a sudo update-grub?
[00:08] <GeekSquid> NixGeek: that is a legacy error, seems like the old grub is on /dev/hda and the new grub was put on /dev/hda1 ... that would be my guess
[00:09] <lotus> mixgeek I did not.  Can I run that from a livecd?
[00:09] <NixGeek> lotus: install grub 2 from a live cd and then run sudo update-grub
[00:10] <kthomas_vh_> howto prevent rsync from sending file again when deleted on remote side
[00:10] <kthomas_vh_> ?
[00:10] <lotus> mixgeek so you say install grub2 from a livecd -- you mean load into the live interface, open a terminal, and run sudo grub-install /dev/sda ?
[00:11] <GeekSquid> kthomas_vh_: the remote side is the copy, not the origional in that case ... delete the origional and the remote side will dissappear as well
[00:12] <kthomas_vh_> GeekSquid,  what I need is that the original is deleted if the remote is deleted
[00:13] <marc_> ?join #debian
[00:14] <goddard> how do i check if shorewall is installed?
[00:14] <GeekSquid> kthomas_vh_: then the remote needs to be the source(origional) and be pushing back to the dest(you)
[00:14] <goddard> sudo apt-get cache shorewall ?
[00:15] <milamber> goddard: dpkg -l | grep shorewall
[00:15] <JackOfHearts> hello any one knwo linnet ?
[00:15] <goddard> milamber thats not it
[00:15] <kthomas_vh_> unless I give the source ssh access to the remote,  that's not going to happen as far as I can tell :)
[00:15] <ocmsRzr> hi, I'm trying to mount a partition with mount and I get the error "mount: /dev/sda: can't read superblock"
[00:15] <JackOfHearts> goddard : aptitude search shorewall
[00:16] <JackOfHearts> if the is i  next to it is installed
[00:16] <GeekSquid> goddard: that is just another way
[00:16] <JackOfHearts> or gksudo synptic :> search > shorewall
[00:16] <soreau> ocmsRzr: Perhaps you want /dev/sda1?
[00:16] <JackOfHearts> so any oen knows linnet?
[00:16] <goddard> GeekSquid well the first way didnt work and the second did they arent actually the same
[00:17] <JackOfHearts>  i need add this crap to /etc/init.d/ and cannto google good working script
[00:17] <goddard> GeekSquid one is to search installed and the other is to search whats out in the repos i believe
[00:17] <ocmsRzr> soreau: no /dev/sda1 doesn't exist, but when I do "fdisk -l" it lists it as /dev/sda1
[00:17] <soreau> ocmsRzr: How many partitions are on the disk?
[00:17] <ocmsRzr> soreau: just the one ntfs partition
[00:18] <ocmsRzr> soreau: its an old windows disk
[00:18] <soreau> ocmsRzr: It should justwork on any recent version of ubuntu
[00:18] <GeekSquid> goddard: dpkg -l shows what is installed , plus discription
[00:18] <ocmsRzr> well it isn't... I guess I'll continue googling =/
[00:19] <veovis_muaddib> My sound works in Amarok and Dragon Player, but doesn't work in Chrome, Konqueror, or Teamspeak.  Teamspeak lists all available audio devices, but none seem to work...
[00:19] <goddard> GeekSquid and aptitude search looks whats in the repos correct?
[00:19] <soreau> ocmsRzr: Maybe you need to boot windows on it and see if it needs fsck or whatever windows calls theirs
[00:19] <JackOfHearts> ocmsRzr:  get rescuecd linux
[00:19] <veovis_muaddib> soreau: chkdisk
[00:19] <JackOfHearts>  or install "testdisk"
[00:19] <soreau> veovis_muaddib: erm, right
[00:19] <JackOfHearts>  if testdisk dont find it nothing will
[00:22] <GeekSquid> goddard: correct
[00:23] <GeekSquid> goddard: actually the apt-cache is what it is searching, not directly from the repo
[00:24] <nooomem> actually not really
[00:24] <nooomem> I want something that can let me overlay multiple flash videos streams from different sites across my screen
[00:27] <al0211> hi
[00:27] <timHx> can someone take a look at this: https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/129625/1/ubuntu?h=56e470#/
[00:27] <timHx> i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 x86-64 and no matter what I do I get a screen like this
[00:28] <red2kic> Matrix!
[00:29] <al0211> someone has also problem with the sleep mode?
[00:29] <trojan_spike> timHx, have u tried it with just 1 monitor hooked up?
[00:29] <timHx> i have 10.04 x86-64 on it
[00:29] <em> i dont trust an image from dropbox, why not put it on imgur or something.
[00:29] <timHx> trojan_spike: no, I was thinking about that when coming to ask for help but waved it off
[00:29] <timHx> 32 bit 10.10 works fine
[00:30] <GeekSquid> timHx: that  would be a graphics card issue, and probably a result of the 64bit version not being as developed
[00:30] <timHx> and 11.04 alpha 1 works fine (can't remember which I installed)
[00:30] <Guest80902> Is anyone here good with iptables that could take a look over my config?
[00:30] <trojan_spike> timHx, kk,, so not monitors..
[00:30] <al0211> someone can help with suspend problems?
[00:30] <timHx> GeekSquid: I thought so too but can't find a lot of information
[00:30] <revtds> looking for information about the loss of conduits in evolution in 10.10
[00:31] <timHx> i get grub instead of the graphical boot menu
[00:31] <timHx> so should I just stick to the 32bit version? that's kind of annoying
[00:31] <al0211> suspend problems... need help... last call... or I will loose faith in linux...
[00:32] <timHx> al0211, don't lose faith in linux
[00:32] <al0211> suspend doesn't work...
[00:32] <al0211> it's basilar
[00:33] <al0211> bye bye
[00:34] <al0211> i should have listened to the mac fanboy... that shit just works
[00:34] <kthomas_vh_> GeekSquid,  2-way sync is not possible via rsync natively (according to FAQ);  it wouldn't help to initiate from the copy side, because you still wouldn't have a way to know what had been copied previously
[00:35] <revtds> I tried Evolution irc and they told me 2.32 gnome-pilot has them, but that I should register a request with developers about them. Not knowing how to do that I thought I would try here. Loss of conduits in gnome-pilot to sync calendar, memos, etc. is a problem for me.
[00:35] <Paatus> guys
[00:35] <Paatus> im close now..
[00:35] <NixGeek> man, al0211 was really patient and nice
[00:35] <Paatus> i got ssmtp pointing to my MX subdomain
[00:36] <GeekSquid> kthomas_vh_: two-way sync workaround, each machine makes a copy when ever the folder changes, and you make changes to the copied folder which pushes back to the other copy which updates your copy
[00:36] <Paatus> but when i try to connect i get error Connection Refused in /var/log/mail.log
[00:36] <kthomas_vh_> lol
[00:36] <Paatus> i have yet not specified Auth_name and so on, because i don't know what to put there
[00:36] <ucsghost> does anybody heeaaah know why movie player doesnt play avi files
[00:36] <red2kic> NixGeek: Wait until he get a Mac then he find he have to pay every time he want something.
[00:37] <GeekSquid> kthomas_vh_: you laugh, it isn't all that uncomon
[00:37] <Paatus> so my question is: how can i add users for my smtp server?
[00:37] <kthomas_vh_> it makes a number of wrong assumptions about environment;  it's not robust L)
[00:37] <kthomas_vh_> *:)
[00:38] <MrUnagi> i have ubuntu in a virtualbox on windows, windows sees my new hard drive, ubuntu doesnt.....what am i missing
[00:38] <GeekSquid> kthomas_vh_: consider SVN
[00:38]  * kthomas_vh considers unison
[00:38] <veovis_muaddib> MrUnagi: Have you set up a share with virtualbox?
[00:38] <NeoCicak> hi all... i'm using 10.10 64 bit... and Gnome sometimes display the themes correctly (i.e. taskbar are themed, etc), but sometimes it doesnt.... has anyone experienced this?
[00:38] <MrUnagi> veovis_muaddib: like a network share?
[00:38] <veovis_muaddib> MrUnagi: It works like that but it's a virtualbox only thing
[00:38] <kthomas_vh> and that would be "consider git" :)
[00:39] <trojan_spike> Mr_NoName, Virtualbox has to be set to show IOI hardware,,
[00:39] <veovis_muaddib> MrUnagi: Install the guest utilities or whatever they're called in Ubuntu
[00:39] <kthomas_vh> as in,  "there's no such thing as CVS done right,  because CVS cannot be done right"
[00:39] <veovis_muaddib> MrUnagi: And then in the settings choose a shared directory
[00:40] <tom866> hi, listen umm i upgraded my ubuntu by uninstalling it and then installing it using 10 GB this time. i was updating the system and also installing lastpass into firefox; when it said restart firefox i hit restart and then firefox closed and it never restarted again. then the software update manager was installing the firefox updates, and it said it needs to restart and if i don't restart it i could experience problems. well it never d
[00:40] <veovis_muaddib> MrUnagi: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=15868  <--- Good tutorial that's not just me rambling from memory
[00:41] <ucsghost> how come movie player doesnt play avi files
[00:41] <tom866> someone go here please :D
[00:41] <tom866> http://paste.ubuntu.com/550046/
[00:41] <trojan_spike> tom866, thats not a serious problem,, just restart F-fox,, failing that,, just reboot
[00:41] <MrUnagi> veovis_muaddib: can i format the drive if is a shared folder?
[00:43] <veovis_muaddib> MrUnagi: Can you format the drive from Ubuntu...  I doubt it, because I don't remember how it works with linux guests
[00:43] <MrUnagi> no i cant see the drive
[00:43] <veovis_muaddib> MrUnagi: Usually Windows is the guest :P
[00:45] <revtds> Still looking for some input on getting conduits into gnome-pilot for calendar, memos, etc. on a 64-bit machine with 10.10
[00:45] <dorbin> what do you recommend for a fileserver, serving media-files (no important potos, docs, etc..); raid 5 or 6?
[00:45] <veovis_muaddib> dorbin: To what Operating Systems?
[00:45] <dorbin> ubuntu
[00:45] <dorbin> server
[00:45] <NeoCicak> hi all... i'm using 10.10 64 bit... and Gnome sometimes display the themes correctly (i.e. taskbar are themed, etc), but sometimes it doesnt.... has anyone experienced this?
[00:45] <Lantchips> i can't install ubuntu :( it says I have installed Ubuntu but I can't find it anywhere
[00:45] <j2daosh> anyone know of a arin lookup application available in the repos?
[00:45] <veovis_muaddib> Yeah, what would it be sharing to dorbin
[00:46] <dorbin> linux
[00:46] <HowardTheDuck> hey.  can someone tell me the command line on how to unintall a program and get rid of all its dependencies too?  I want to get rid of Amarok off my Ubuntu install, and all the KDE stuff that came with it
[00:46] <squ1d_> Hey how can I do a mass chmod as root?
[00:46] <j2daosh> squ1d_: DONT!
[00:46] <veovis_muaddib> HowardTheDuck: # apt-get remove amarok && apt-get autoremove
[00:47] <IdleOne> apt-get purge amarok
[00:47] <tom866> did someone goto my pastebin? :)
[00:47] <j2daosh> I did that once squ1d_, had to do a complete reinstall
[00:47] <HowardTheDuck> which one do i use?
[00:47] <NixGeek> HowardTheDuck: or sudo apt-get remove --purge amarok
[00:47] <j2daosh> HowardTheDuck: use what NixGeek said
[00:47] <squ1d_> or set ownership of a set of files, as I basically added files to my computer via samba and they belong to no one and I cant add or edit these files.
[00:47] <HowardTheDuck> i thought --purge just got rid of user files and settings?  i want to get rid of dependent files for KDE
[00:48] <dorbin> veovis_muaddib: the fileserver would be sharing to linux based OS (ubuntu, XBMCLive, Android)
[00:48] <j2daosh> squ1d_: go to the directory where you dumped the files, then do 'sudo chmod 777 *'
[00:48] <NixGeek> HowardTheDuck: --puge purges the program from the system, dependencies, setting, etc.
[00:48] <j2daosh> then everyone will have access to the files (not just root)
[00:48] <Paatus> i got ssmtp pointing to my MX subdomain
[00:48] <Paatus> but when i try to connect i get error Connection Refused in /var/log/mail.log

[00:49] <r00t4rd3d> tom866, open a terminal and type firefox >enter<
[00:49] <veovis_muaddib> dorbin: Probably would be best to use NFS then.
[00:49] <squ1d_> its a **** load of directories and mp3 files in my music folder
[00:49] <Paatus> so my question is: how can i add users for my smtp server?
[00:49] <HowardTheDuck> NixGeek: ahh okay thanks a lot!
[00:49] <tom866> ok
[00:49] <r00t4rd3d> tom866, whats the error if any ?
[00:49] <veovis_muaddib> dorbin: Not sure how Android does with NFS, but I'm pretty sure XBMC handles it well
[00:49] <revtds> Still looking for info on how to get conduits back in gnome-pilot for ubuntu 10.10
[00:49] <veovis_muaddib> And of course ubuntu does
[00:49] <NixGeek> HowardTheDuck: your welcome, glad to help
[00:49] <dorbin> veovis_muaddib: so, do you recommend raid 5 or 6? ..and why not ext-filesystem?
[00:49] <tom866> none, all i was wondering was if like it may have messed up the firefox installation
[00:50] <j2daosh> squ1d_: then go to the parent directory and do 'sudo chmod -R 777 *'
[00:50] <r00t4rd3d> nah
[00:50] <r00t4rd3d> not if it opens
[00:51] <stew> j2daosh: you think he should make his mp3s executable?
[00:51] <NixGeek> HowardTheDuck: you might also want to do a sudo apt-get autoremove to make sure to get rid of dependecies
[00:51] <trojan_spike> how can i upgrade to 11.04?
[00:51] <revtds> ubuntu1010, if I may direct a question, do you know anything about conduits in gnome-pilot for 1010 on a 64-bit machine?
[00:51] <tom866> also the ubuntu software center, when i maximise it, it seems a bit laggy
[00:51] <squ1d_> j2daosh, chmod: missing operand after `777'
[00:51] <tom866> but other applications are fine
[00:51] <Lantchips> lol sitting here on this irc and just read the chat teaches me a lot of new stuff about ubuntu :)
[00:51] <j2daosh> stew: i suppose not, but he just wants to be able to get at them and that's quick way to do it
[00:52] <HowardTheDuck> NixGeek: ahh okay will do
[00:52] <NixGeek> tom866: it's just the software center, It is a bit laggy.  It probably needs to be recoded
[00:52] <stew> j2daosh: he wants to let other people modify his mp3s?
[00:52] <tom866> ah ok thanks all :D
[00:52] <HowardTheDuck> wow autoremove is freeing 36 megs
[00:52] <tripelb> Hi, my new background is LIGHT and my icon text is LIGHT. Can I make it DARK?
[00:53] <j2daosh> stew: he copied files over from a different system and he doesn't have access to them. he wanted to change the files owner to root but chmod would be just as easy
[00:53] <leomast247> hello people. I am trying to download an MP3 file but every time i click it to download it just opens a new page and plays the music
[00:53] <Lantchips> whats the page ?
[00:54] <tripelb> Lantchips, that's because you are smarter than I am. Mostly it just washes over me. (smarter means knows more, in this case :)
[00:54] <tripelb> Hi, my new background is LIGHT and my icon text is LIGHT. Can I make it DARK? (gnome desktop, Ub 10.04)
[00:54] <stew> j2daosh: yeah, but why give o+w?
[00:54] <j2daosh> squ1d_: sudo chmod 777 *
[00:54] <leomast247> anyone have experience with downloading mp3 files...ubuntu seems not to like them
[00:54] <HowardTheDuck> I'm out guys
[00:54] <stew> j2daosh: why!?!
[00:54] <milamber> leomast247: Right Click >> save target as
[00:54] <HowardTheDuck> NixGeek: Thanks again, appreciate your help man
[00:54] <trojan_spike> leomast247, use a firefox add-on,, 'search download',, there are some very good ones,, down-load-them-all,, to name one
[00:54] <Lantchips> Tripelb or that I don't know anything and everything is new to me :) haha
[00:55] <stew> squ1d_: you pretty much never want 777, btw
[00:55] <leomast247> ok ill look into it
[00:55] <squ1d_> thats j2daosh, I forgot the as trick
[00:55] <Ph0t0nix> hi all
[00:55] <Lantchips> leomast247 tried using wget ?
[00:55] <Lantchips> ahh nvm :)
[00:55] <j2daosh> or nevermind make it 'sudo chmod -R 666 *'
[00:55] <tripelb> Lantchips, can you help my problem. I want my desktop icon-text to be dark, not light.
[00:55] <j2daosh> or 644, or 600, or whatever it is you want to make them
[00:55] <leomast247> ill try both and get back to u guys
[00:55] <stew> squ1d_: you might want +r, but probably not 666 or 777
[00:56] <revtds> I need some help on getting conduits back into gnome-pilot for 1010 on a 64bit machine
[00:57] <j2daosh> stew: dont you need execute to traverse a directory?
[00:57] <Ph0t0nix> Does anyone here have some experience with recovering grub2 and software RAID?
[00:57] <stew> j2daosh: yes, but you don't need o+w
[00:58] <leomast247> can any of those be found in synaptic package manager?
[00:58] <stew> j2daosh: and mp3s don't need to be +x to listen to them
[00:58] <revtds> synaptic only shows 2.17 and I am told I need 2.32
[00:58] <stew> and I'm not sure I've ever seen something that needs 777 (and not 1777)
[00:58] <Lantchips> tripelb did u read the message ?
[00:59] <NixGeek> leomast247: save as is just a default firefox things, and the download addons can be found on addons.mozilla.org
[00:59] <oneliner> in gnome, from the applications launch menu, how can i start an app with the equivalent of sudo?
[00:59] <j2daosh> stew: my entire perl scripts directory is 777
[00:59] <leomast247> Nixgeek, when i try to download them however it just plays them in firefox
[01:00] <AzoteLogiko> how can i know the mac address of any ip -not just mine- ?
[01:00] <stew> j2daosh: you need it so that every user on your system can change executable files?
[01:00] <squ1d_> my /home directory should be WHAT?
[01:00] <NixGeek> leomast247: go to the link you clicked on to make it play, right click, and click save link as
[01:00] <plaidhat> how can I upgrade my hardy to current???
[01:00] <NixGeek> squ1d_: what do you mean?
[01:00] <stew> squ1d_: do you need to allow other users to access your home directory?
[01:01] <j2daosh> yep, dont know what user will be making the change so i just had to 777 it
[01:01] <squ1d_> No
[01:01] <stew> j2daosh: you can add users to a group
[01:01] <squ1d_> But I need to have full access

[01:07] <trojan_spike> NixGeek, i think java and flash are the only way attackers can go for linux,, even then thers all the security
[01:07] <tripelb> Hi, my new background is LIGHT and my icon text is LIGHT. Can I make it DARK? (gnome desktop, Ub 10.04)
[01:07] <plaidhat> basically... I have 8.04 and want to upgrade to current (10.10)... is this possible?
[01:07] <wilkanaut> o7 ubers
[01:07] <NixGeek> trojan_spike: and it was informative, and I will keep it in mind when clicking on links, thank you, and I was just pointing out what he said.  Also, it doesn't ruyn at startup, so it would be easily removed.
[01:07] <Danny78> Good morning afternoon evening and good night everyone
[01:08] <NixGeek> !upgrade | plaidhat
[01:08] <plaidhat> NixGeek: see above
[01:09] <oneliner> how can i find out what is the program name of an app (eg file roller)
[01:09] <KM0201> plaidhat: its possible, you will hve to upgrade 8.04 to 10.04, then 10.04 to 10.10... it might be easier to just clean install 10.10(least thats my opinion)
[01:09] <oneliner> so that i can invoke it with sudo
[01:09] <trojan_spike> plaidhat, just install
[01:09] <NixGeek> plaidhat: sorry, I didn't see that.  why not just backup everything and clean install, it will also clean up and random files left around
[01:09] <plaidhat> KM0201: ohhh I was under the impression I had to upgrade step-by-step distro-to-distro
[01:10] <KM0201> plaidhat: no, you can go LTS to LTS(8.04 to 10.04).. then you'll have to upgrade 10.04, to 10.10
[01:10] <plaidhat> NixGeek: this is a dedicated server with a few important websites/assets on it
[01:11] <plaidhat> KM0201: ohh ok let me change the "normal" setting back to "lts" then which I just changed...brb
[01:11] <lolcat> unity isnt for big laptops, rigth?
[01:11] <KM0201> plaidhat: then you better make sure you have a very good backup... cuz i'm willing to bet something is gonna get broken... b ut thats just my opinion
[01:11] <squ1d_> hey guys bit of an update I ran the chown command, and then did a chmod of 755  all good thanks ste
[01:11] <trojan_spike> lolcat, right ,, but can be good for low power or low ram L-tops
[01:11] <goddard> what are some good web based ubuntu interface controls for a web server?
[01:11] <noob987> i want to test my router forward from wan to lan. can somebody netcat me on udp 55555 and send a "hello" or something equal?
[01:12] <plaidhat> so, curious, nowadays we don't have to change all the entires in /etc/apt/sources.list anymore?
[01:12] <lolcat> trojan_spike: doh, I installed it on my laptop
[01:12] <NixGeek> plaidhat: look here: http://linuxologist.com/1general/howto-fresh-ubuntu-install-without-losing-your-current-settings/   you might want to get another harddrive and install it there, so you have the old install to get files, settings, etc from
[01:12] <trojan_spike> lolcat, thats ok,, u can install the ubuntu desktop from package manager
[01:12] <Danny78> I'm trying to set up an internet web server (and a file server locally) and after installing syscp, it failed to create a database due to not having permissions...  is this going to affect my ability to host a web site and file server?
[01:13] <plaidhat> looks like LUCID upgrade is working!!
[01:13] <pr0ph3t> hi all
[01:13] <Danny78> hello
[01:13] <lolcat> Danny78: syscp how is that relevant?
[01:14] <plaidhat> NixGeek: I was expecting the installer to prompt me if I want to keep my old config files (php.ini, my.cnf, etc.)????
[01:14] <Danny78> lolcat,  I wouldn't know, s'why I'm asking
[01:14] <nit-wit> pr0ph3t, whats up
[01:14] <revtds> I need help with conduits in gnome-pilot for 1010 on a 64bit machine.
[01:14] <NixGeek> plaidhat: if you just upgraded from within ubuntu, no, it does that automatically.
[01:14] <lolcat> Danny78: I cant see how it mathers
[01:14] <Danny78> lolcat:  syscp is "system control panel for LAMP servers"
[01:14] <leomast247> anyone know of any good books for ubuntu
[01:14] <qwebirc40302> good way to secure ssh? any tuts?
[01:14] <plaidhat> NixGeek: right, about to try Hardy -> Lucid... should I stop???
[01:14] <lolcat> Danny78: why would you want that?
[01:15] <pr0ph3t> I'm running ubuntu 10.10 64 bit, last time I tried to change the splash screen I was not able to start the os anymore, now I am wondering is it because ubuntu maverik doesn't use usplash anymore?
[01:15] <marc_> I need a way to install Debian from dling .iso straight to USB key, need help, can this be done?
[01:15] <Danny78> lolcat:  I was planning on using apache, mysql and php
[01:15] <NixGeek> plaidhat: it should be fine.  if it's a server you might want to leave it at lucid as it's a LTS release.  I personally use lucid still and have no inclanation to upgrade yet.
[01:15] <GeekSquid> qwebirc40302: this is it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30709
[01:15] <nit-wit> pr0ph3t, how did you change it before
[01:15] <qwebirc40302> Danny78: nginx =D
[01:15] <plaidhat> NixGeek: cool, cool, it's going well so far
[01:15] <lolcat> Danny78: apt-get install and then configure it manually
[01:16] <pr0ph3t> nit-wit, some scripts I think
[01:16] <qwebirc40302> thanks GeekSquid
[01:16] <plaidhat> NixGeek: as you can probably tell I've been lax about updating :/ which always concerns me esp w/ security
[01:16] <Danny78> lolcat:  is this gentle on newbs?
[01:17] <marc_> I need a way to download the current stable Debian and install from USB thumb drive, i have no other writable media, help needed, thanks in advance.
[01:17] <lolcat> Danny78: You'll learn a lot
[01:17] <pr0ph3t> nit-wit, it all worked, the spash screens changed, but at login I could not do much apart from the debian escape keys, and could not go into tty
[01:17] <nit-wit> pr0ph3t, sounds like something not to mess with to be honest, especially with a not exact remembrance of what you did
[01:17] <NixGeek> plaidhat: ubuntu doesn't really have security problems, so you were probably fine.  Lucid will be supported for 3 years, so by the time lucid support is over, your hardware will be obsolete
[01:17] <plaidhat> NixGeek: on top of that, updating a production machine is always scary to me :/
[01:17] <Danny78> lolcat:  is it at least more straight-forward than LAMP?
[01:17] <ocean> guys can any one help me to restore grub with a lice cd. after an updating the ubuntu 10.10 i have lost the grub and computer says no operating system on boot up
[01:17] <nit-wit> pr0ph3t, it is just the startup
[01:17] <aeon-ltd> !fixgrub | ocean
[01:18] <oneliner> ocean have you got more than one disc?
[01:18] <lolcat> Danny78: mysql is most effort, but with a good php porgram it will be ez
[01:18] <aeon-ltd> !grub2 | ocean
[01:18] <nit-wit> pr0ph3t, your choice though in the end I wouldn't mess with it due to all the changes happening
[01:18] <NixGeek> plaidhat: I do some web programming and testing, so I have apache and other servers on my desktop and I did a completely clean install and restored my setting with no problem, so an upgrade from within ubuntu should be really easy and safe
[01:18] <pr0ph3t> nit-wit, I am passionate about being able to personalise everything in my ubuntu installation
[01:18] <Danny78> lolcat:  any suggestions for good PHP program?
[01:18] <ocean> i just updated ubuntu 10.10 and now no OS on boot up.
[01:19] <qwebirc40302> good php program?
[01:19] <qwebirc40302> notepad =D
[01:19] <wilkanaut> do any of you folks have a good resource for me to learn how to make a server  on my craptop?
[01:19] <plaidhat> NixGeek: thank you for the help... !!!
[01:19] <nit-wit> pr0ph3t, and that okay.:)
[01:19] <ocean> i want to put back the grub
[01:19] <ocean> pls
[01:19] <pr0ph3t> so if it's not usplash what is it?
[01:19] <lolcat> Danny78: if youre lazy use phpmyadmin
[01:19] <NixGeek> plaidhat: glad to help, i enjoy having something to do.
[01:19] <nit-wit> ocean, what is the setiup right now
[01:19] <nit-wit> *setup
[01:20] <oneliner> ocean try this http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[01:20] <Danny78> lolcat:  I want to learn how to do it right, but first, I want a web server up and running
[01:20] <ocean> i have got ubuntu dual boot with win 7.
[01:20] <revtds> NixGeek, can I ask if you have any knowledge of gnome-pilot conduits, in 1010
[01:20] <nit-wit> ocean, what happened to grub
[01:20] <plaidhat> NixGeek: When I was a young teen I used to answer questions on IRC all day long... now I'm engaged and working full time so any time I get on IRC is fleeting and looking for quick answers :/
[01:20] <pr0ph3t> so usplash has been replaced by plymouth?
[01:21] <ocean> i don know.i updated the ubuntu 10 10 .when i restarted it says no OS found
[01:21] <nit-wit> ocean, also tab you nick response if you can so we know who your talking to.:)
[01:21] <NixGeek> revtds: I'm still using lucid, so no idea, sorry
[01:21] <lolcat> should I upgrade to 11.04
[01:21] <lolcat> ?
[01:21] <Danny78> ok, I'm completely new to Gnome..  how do I put a terminal link on my desktop?
[01:21] <wilkanaut> You guys are nice
[01:21] <ocean> how can i tab the response?
[01:21] <KM0201> lolcat: not unless you're prepared to deal w/ a lot of problems
[01:21] <tpham> on U10.10, is it possible to properly hibernate and wakeup from hibernation?
[01:21] <nit-wit> ocean, updated or upgraded
[01:21] <KM0201> ocean: type first few letters of their name, and hit tab.
[01:21] <ocean> update
[01:21] <oneliner> ocean:  he means you should write the nick of the person you are answering to
[01:21] <NixGeek> Danny78: go insto applications, find terminal, and drag it to the desktop
[01:21] <revtds> Thanks, NixGeek.  At least I know someone heard me. I have been on for 20 minutes without a response.
[01:21] <lolcat> KM0201: does vlc do ramleaks in 11.04
[01:21] <ocean> oneliner, ok i get that thanks
[01:22] <KM0201> lolcat: if you're wanting to upgrade to 11.04, just for VLC.. i would not do it.. 11.04 is very early in alpha 1, and it's got a lot of issues..
[01:22] <nit-wit> ocean, best way to see the whole setup is with this script run the the generated file pastebinned  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[01:22] <oneliner> ocean: for trying to fix grub you can try this,.. its a bit long but very complete http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[01:22] <NixGeek> revtds: I had seen most of your messages, but had no idea, if I could help I would, but I can't.  mabey someone will get on later that can help you
[01:23] <Tabarnaco> (8:22:32 PM) Tabarnaco: hey guys since you're irc nerds does anybody know how to fix the black blank screen i get when trying to play a full screen game in flash on linux
[01:23] <Danny78> lolcat:  I'm running into exact same problem in phpmyadmin as with syscp--  configuration fails.  I don't suppose anyone can walk me through a command-line config of hpmyadmin?
[01:23] <oneliner> nerds dont play games, they code them
[01:23] <revtds> NixGeek, thanks again. I was told developers dropped it and don't plan to put them back in and I am trying to find out if there is a way to do it. I have never compiled, so I am a little lost.
[01:23] <Tabarnaco> maybe you can code me a solution :>
[01:24] <nit-wit> personally  I'm not a nerd, just a poser
[01:24] <lolcat> Danny78: command line? put the files in your webservers document root and then write in the password/username
[01:24] <stew> Tabarnaco: you have the source for flash?
[01:24] <NixGeek> revtds: for compiling, have a look here:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware
[01:24] <oneliner> Danny78:  would you like to try xampp? simpler all rounder
[01:24] <Tabarnaco> nope
[01:24] <stew> Tabarnaco: its going to be much harder then
[01:24] <Tabarnaco> it's ok
[01:24] <Danny78> oneliner:  for now, maybe so
[01:24] <Tabarnaco> you can just reverse engineer it
[01:24] <Tabarnaco> while i sit back and wait
[01:24] <ocean> oneliner, thanks. do i have to re install the whole ubuntu
[01:25] <stew> not legally
[01:25] <oneliner> Danny78: get it at http://www.apachefriends.org
[01:25] <oneliner> ocean: no, simply follow the instructions provided
[01:26] <soapcontainer> i have a second hard drive and System Monitor registers the second hard drive along with its free space but i can't find the actual hard drive to access it in any way other than system monitor.  How can I access my secondary hard drive (both are SATA) and why would it display in system monitor but nowhere else?
[01:26] <oneliner> Danny78: the installation is straight forward, just sudo the command in step two altering the path of the archive to point to your download
[01:26] <NixGeek> plaidhat: how's the update going?
[01:26] <Danny78> oneliner:  I already have mysql installed, should I uninstall before installing xampp?
[01:26] <revtds> Just checking in again, looking for help with gnome-pilot conduits in 1010 on a 64bit machine
[01:26] <th0r> soapcontainer: where did you mount the second drive?
[01:27] <oneliner> Danny78:  yes, clean install is best
[01:27] <plaidhat> NixGeek: still going... it's asked a few questions (via [n]curses?) about init.d scripts and I just said "OK"
[01:27] <ocean> oneliner, it says about a seperate boot. could u explain me that pls
[01:27] <soapcontainer> I mounted it directly above/below the other hard drive (i don't remember which was which i built this comp like 4 years ago).
[01:27] <Danny78> This is my first experience with Gnome and it's waaaay fater on this old box that KDE
[01:28] <th0r> soapcontainer: nope...start here....open a terminal and type 'man mount'
[01:28] <soapcontainer> alright
[01:28] <oneliner> ocean: thats in case your boot partition is in a diferent drive, my guess is you could assume no, your boot is in the same drive as your file sistem
[01:28] <Biriba> hello everybody
[01:28] <NixGeek> Danny78: it should be, gnome has alot less bling
[01:28] <hanasaki> should there be a profile for named in apparmour?  ubuntu 10.10 ?     ddns udpates from dhcp to bind are getting blocked by apparmour
[01:29] <soapcontainer> oh so literally i just need to mount the hard drive, similar to how a flash drive gets mounted? makes sense I guess
[01:29] <th0r> soapcontainer: right. And if you want it done automatically at bootup, add a line to /etc/fstab
[01:30] <soapcontainer> thanks thOr this will help a lot
[01:30] <ocean> oneliner, i have got ubuntu and win 7 on the same hard disk on diffrent partitions. i want to put the grub onto MBR. so whats my case. sorry to ask u this simple Q
[01:30] <tr1pl3x> can anyone help me on how to run startup at textmode i mean i want it to be the default one
[01:30] <Biriba> exit
[01:30] <NixGeek> plaidhat: "Okay" is normally the good choice for something like that.
[01:30] <soapcontainer> th0r, i mean, lol
[01:30] <nit-wit> ocean, run the script I posted without it we are just flailing around
[01:30] <Danny78> I'll be right back...  need to get xampp and probably will be asking questions because I tried it once before and had trouble... brb
[01:30] <DIL> rl 3
[01:30] <tr1pl3x> can anyone help me on how to run ubuntu startup at textmode i mean i want it to be the default on
[01:31] <nit-wit> tr1pl3x, manual boot
[01:31] <tr1pl3x> i want it to be the default one
[01:31] <lolcat^> How do I upgrade?
[01:31] <xangua> !upgrade | lolcat^
[01:31] <tr1pl3x> i already remove the link from /etc/rc2.d/
[01:31] <nit-wit> lolcat, to what from what
[01:31] <hiexpo> sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:31] <tr1pl3x> anyone?
[01:31] <th0r> tr1pl3x: normally you set the default run level to be non-gui, but I don't think ubuntu supports that run level
[01:32] <Danny78> oneliner:  ideally, and for convenience and security, where should I put my web site files?
[01:32] <tr1pl3x> i also thinkso but im trying to boot it up in textmode
[01:32] <oneliner> ocean: once you chroot run -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure grup-pc
[01:32] <nit-wit> tr1pl3x, do you want a manual boot your description is a bit confusing
[01:32] <plaidhat> NixGeek: yeah, I'm not running screen and am too lazy to make another ssh conn
[01:32] <tr1pl3x> nope not manual boot
[01:32] <Danny78> oneliner:  or does XAMPP require it be in a certain place?
[01:32] <tr1pl3x> normally if we are starting up ubuntu, it will load the gdm em i ryt?
[01:32] <lolcat^> No sensible instructions to get 11.04 on that page
[01:33] <keith-> so i am trying to get the vertical scroll to work on my setup. seems to be an issue with this particular model, but it had worked at one point.
[01:33] <tr1pl3x> i want it to load in textmode no gdm, and if iwant it to boot in gdm i will just issue the startx command
[01:33] <oneliner> Danny78: once you have xampp up and running your site files go in /opt/lampp/htdocs
[01:33] <NixGeek> lolcat^: 11.04 is only in alpha 1
[01:33] <DIL> http://techgurulive.com/2008/09/18/how-to-change-linux-runlevels/ | tr1pl3x
[01:33] <keith-> it's an alps touchpad and i even did a kernel patch to get it recognized as something other than a ps/2 mouse. but the scroll still doesn't work.
[01:33] <mezimezim> I am wondering why, with the ubuntu netbook edition (which uses unity), sometimes the menu is not on the top horizontal bar??
[01:33] <xangua> !natty | lolcat^
[01:33] <keith-> any suggestions?
[01:33] <rot13> what can be done if some files in /var/lib/dpkg/info got damaged, removed or garbled?
[01:34] <oneliner> there you have already some files, so make a new folder per new site that you can acces like so http://localhost/newsitefolder
[01:34] <NixGeek> lolcat^: look here to upgrade to natty narwal: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/natty/alpha1

[01:37] <GeekSquid> NixGeek: we don't reccommend people to install the Alpha unless they are a developer or have legit need for it, this channel is for the current releases
[01:37] <xangua> necroforest: is your webcam supported¿
[01:37] <oneliner> Danny78: then i hope never to see you in here asking "how do i sudo the whole thing?" :P
[01:37] <necroforest> yeah, it works in cheese
[01:38] <italic> any recommendations for remote desktop server/clients for accessing a windows 7 home ed. from ubuntu?

[01:38]  * oneliner ducks
[01:38] <ocean> oneliner, is that the latest grub install?
[01:38] <JackOfHearts> necroforest:  run it in chrooted gentoo
[01:38] <NixGeek> he asked specifically about 11.04, so I assume he wanted the link on how to upgrade to 11.04, which I gave him.  I was not reccommending he upgraded, I was providing the answer to his question, which is waht this irc is for
[01:39] <GeekSquid> italic: if running ultimate I believe it comes with 1 tsc licence ... if not ultraVNC or RealVnc, and connect w/vinagre
[01:39] <oneliner> ocean: it will reconfigure your current install
[01:39] <Ambrose> Also reference the sound issue, I tried the alsa-oss Emulation but when I try to load snd-pcm-oss I get the error FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found.
[01:39] <oneliner> no need for latest, just working :)

[01:39] <italic> GeekSquid: thanks
[01:39] <JackOfHearts> necroforest:  i dont remmebr whre but i found once the way to make chrooted 32 bit  system works on 64 bit system
[01:39] <novato_br> how can I do to work VGA port of notebook?
[01:39] <JackOfHearts>  so u can run 3 2 bit progs
[01:40] <oneliner> nah, iirc there was a "run as root" option in contextual menu in gui , but thats a long time ago
[01:40] <NixGeek> GeekSquid: okay, I've only been helping in the channel for a couple of days, i'm still getting used to stuff.
[01:40] <JackOfHearts> so srsly guys how to make mounting run without sudo
[01:40] <rot13> how can i restore dpkg info files when they are missing or broken

[01:40] <JackOfHearts>  to my user
[01:41] <ocean> oneliner, grub 2 and grub legacy which is the latest version? is that one and the same
[01:41] <ocean> ?
[01:41] <JackOfHearts> ocean: grub2
[01:41] <oneliner> grub2 is latest
[01:41] <novato_br> can I make it does work?
[01:41] <GeekSquid> NixGeek: if you continue to help, get yourself setup, read the Code of Conduct and sign it, and learn to use our friendly bot ubottu
[01:41] <novato_br> no one use VGA port on linux?
[01:41] <DIL> get your googlefu on | tr1pl3x
[01:42] <oneliner> ocean: if you are following that link i gave you,.. once you have a chroot run  sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
[01:42] <JackOfHearts> hmm what is diference between grub2 and grub-pc packages?
[01:42] <Danny78> Ok, while I wait for download, does anyone know why the "mini" ubuntu cd won't autostart on an old 500MHz 256RAM computer?  Is it just too old?  It says there's a bootable CD in drive on boot up, but then hangs
[01:42] <GeekSquid> novato_br: can I get you some better help .. in your language, what is your default language?
[01:42] <ocean> oneliner, do u mean to run that once the steps in chrooting has finished or before that
[01:43] <lolcat^> Danny78: Why not use debian?
[01:43] <NixGeek> GeekSquid: than you for that, i'm sorry, this arguing is unnecessary.  I'm going to read the COC and guidelines right now.
[01:43] <oneliner> once you finished chrooting and before trying it his way
[01:43] <gurjeet> GeekSquid: I am not sure if I agree with the 'Windows can't see extended partition natively' part, but it is unable to see its own Primary NTFS partitions too.
[01:43] <Danny78> lolcat:  do they have live cds?
[01:43] <plaidhat> NixGeek: erms... "The upgrade is completed but there were errors during the upgrade
[01:43] <plaidhat> process."
[01:43] <Danny78> lolcat:  I just think if I burn a Deb cd it'll still not boot
[01:44] <JackOfHearts> Danny78:  way to old pc
[01:44] <Jebus> ohai
[01:44] <plaidhat> NixGeek: like, "thanks for telling me what the errors were!" ;)
[01:44] <Jebus> big channelz here.
[01:44] <JackOfHearts> Danny78:  download damn small linux
[01:44] <novato_br> External monitor with laptop won't work
[01:44] <novato_br> why?
[01:44] <Danny78> JackOfHearts:  Who puts that out?
[01:44] <JackOfHearts>  Danny78 dsl is 50 mb well known knoppix based distro
[01:45] <NixGeek> plaidhat: It didn't say what the errors were? that is so tipical.
[01:45] <JackOfHearts> is dedicated life but can be installed as debian
[01:45] <xangua> JackOfHearts:  lolcat^ this is ubuntu support
[01:45] <Danny78> JackOfHearts:  Basically, the old comp is going to be set up as my quarry in security testing
[01:45] <qwebirc40302> So I've been looking through some logs...
[01:45] <qwebirc40302>  Address 205.234.228.97 maps to server.rticams.net, but this does not map back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMP
[01:45] <plaidhat> NixGeek: nope... just that final msg at the $
[01:45] <GeekSquid> NixGeek: I am not arguing with you, but as I have spent years here I get a little annoyed when people (noobs) come in and offer help without understanding the thought process of how we help and the do's and don'ts ... Certainly no offense intended
[01:45] <JackOfHearts>  Danny78 so check for rescuecd live linux
[01:45] <qwebirc40302> what exactly is going on?
[01:46] <wilkanaut> does anyone have a good resource for making a media server
[01:46] <Danny78> JackOfHearts:  ok, thanks, I'll try knoppix or rescuecd live linux
[01:46] <JackOfHearts> xangua:  and who the fuck cares is # ubuntu or #gentoo
[01:46] <IdleOne> !language | JackOfHearts
[01:46] <GeekSquid> !language | JackOfHearts
[01:46] <JackOfHearts>  the point is he asked  why he cannot run ubuntu on 500 mz old pc
[01:46] <DIL> who hoo
[01:46] <JackOfHearts> language ?
[01:46] <JackOfHearts>  ssij qrwo
[01:46] <JackOfHearts> :P
[01:47] <stew> qwebirc40302: someone from the ip address 205.234.228.97 tried to connect to your machine.  when you lookup the name associated with that ip address, you get server.rticams.net, but the ip address associated with that name is 64.202.189.170 not 205.234.228.97.  so your server is concerned that someone is trying to impersonate server.rticams.net
[01:47] <NixGeek> GeekSquid: I am (right now) reading the COC and guidelines, and am sorry I didn't read them before.  I hope I can be helpful to people in this channel, and I'm still learning about the bot.
[01:47] <linux_direction> hi room : )
[01:47] <yaaar> i've got a server that hangs during fsck on boot. i recognize this is likely a sign of a bigger problem, and i intend to investigate that...but i really need this thing to get up to at least limping along. is there some way to make it skip the fsck?
[01:47] <qwebirc40302> ohhhh
[01:47] <qwebirc40302> thanks stew
[01:47] <Frenk> Hey, I have a strange issue with hostnames on ubuntu. When I send an e-mail there is a line:  Received from damdamdam.org (ip6-localhost [127.0.0.1]) but my hosts file does not have damdamdam.org ...
[01:47] <Danny78> I'm with Jack--  why police our conversations if they temporarily stray from Ubuntu..  OMG!!
[01:47] <qwebirc40302> is it something to be worried about?
[01:48] <qwebirc40302> I've just finished doing the ssh security tutorials about pub keys
[01:48] <jimi_> Ever since upgrading to 10.10 my webcam is unresponsive and sluggish. What could cause this?
[01:48] <Danny78> at the end of the day, linux is linux and can't we all just get along?  lol
[01:48] <newser> hello, how can I restore my ethernet card settings to default? I modified them one or two years ago to configure a nas hdd using firestarter but now my ethernet card is not detecting the network by connecting anything to the eth0 port. Any suggestions?
[01:48] <ocean> oneliner, i have done the the apt-get install grub-pc whats the next step?
[01:48] <JackOfHearts> yaaar:  try to fix it from some live cd imho or edit fstab
[01:48] <ocean> pls tell me
[01:48] <JackOfHearts> yaaar:  turn of disk checking in fstab
[01:48] <linux_direction> does anyone know if i can use an ubuntu 5.1 machine, to act as a local repository for ubuntu10 machines on a lan?
[01:49] <JackOfHearts> yaaar: if u must but srsly u should fix partitions first or on 80% it will not boot anyway
[01:49] <napster> Gtk notebook doesn't switch pages
[01:49] <napster> what could be wrong?
[01:49] <tensorpudding> 5.10? that's hella old
[01:49] <napster> http://pastebin.ca/2037828
[01:49] <Danny78> yum yum, new distros to munch and pick out of my teeth
[01:49] <JackOfHearts> linux_direction:  it need to be ubuntu 5.1?
[01:50] <Danny78> technically, the human colon is a repository
[01:50] <linux_direction> yeah i know tensorpudding. so is the machine that i wish to install it on.
[01:50] <oneliner> ocean: since you got that far, just keep on following the steps there
[01:50] <linux_direction> JackOfHearts. yes. i have 2 pc's
[01:50] <JackOfHearts> linux_direction:  imho make repo on some light up to date system
[01:50] <tensorpudding> 5.10 has been unsupported for a long time
[01:50] <JackOfHearts> linux_direction:  u dotn understood im asking  : is need to be outdated ubuntu 5
[01:51] <ocean> oneliner, once i run the at-get command do i have to edit the config file or just run the next command.sorry i need some assitance here
[01:51] <ocean> thanks
[01:51] <JackOfHearts> or u can install up to date debian withotu x and anything alse and put it as server
[01:51] <linux_direction> 1 a p2 200mhz 128 mbram. 160gbytz hdd and a p4 cel 1.7ghz 512 ram 80gbytz hdd.
[01:51] <newser> which is the file used to configure the ethernet settings? I cannot remember
[01:51] <JackOfHearts> linux_direction:  on this pentium install debian not ubuntu  way to old for ubu
[01:51] <tensorpudding> to answer your question, it may well be possible, but it's probably not supported
[01:51] <linux_direction> oh is that right JackOfHearts?
[01:52] <oneliner> ocean no editing needed, just run the next command
[01:52] <KM0201> linux_direction: look at "aptosid"... use the xfce version.. very slick little OS...
[01:52] <JackOfHearts> linux_direction:  if u just need it to work as server/proxy/.router u dont need anything alse than basic net install of debian
[01:52] <linux_direction> hey thanks KM0201. i am 1 week into my linux journey.
[01:53] <JackOfHearts> or ther eis  web based ultra light life cd with firewall/server distro
[01:53] <oneliner> ocean remember to to do the grub install with the info you got from sudo fdisk -l , look for the entry that says linux,
[01:53] <JackOfHearts>  gimme sec i find it out for u
[01:53] <GeekSquid> !apt-proxy | linux_direction I think this is what you want
[01:53] <KM0201> linux_direction: yeah, a machine that old, you're gonna have to keep it small/light.. aptosid  it's pretty slick... it's based on Debian Unstable.. but it's pretty solid... i'm assuming this old PC isn't your only machine
[01:53] <linux_direction> hey guys thanks for your ideas and stuff.
[01:53] <linux_direction> im a little slow at all this.
[01:53] <DIL> why not use vbox
[01:53] <Ambrose> Anyone  know what I need to do to get /dev/dsp or /dev/adsp to show up so programs that use OSS can use sound?
[01:54] <Jordan_U> Ambrose: "padsp <command>" or "aoss <command>"
[01:55] <Ambrose> Jordan_U: Thx will try that
[01:55] <JackOfHearts> linux_direction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EnGarde_Secure_Linux try this one
[01:55] <novato_br> ubottu: port vga view
[01:55] <Jordan_U> Ambrose: You're welcome.
[01:55] <JackOfHearts> hmm or not damn u want apt-get to work?
[01:55] <novato_br> ubottu: port view
[01:55] <oneliner> hey Jordan_U paying forward the grub help :)
[01:55] <ocean> oneliner, it has given me the boot menu now. but windows is missing, what should i do
[01:55] <GeekSquid> !br | novato_br
[01:55] <JackOfHearts> linux_direction:  so yes u need debian + change repos to ubuntu
[01:56] <IdleOne> JackOfHearts: I appreciate your enthusiasm for debian and it is in fact a great distro but this is #ubuntu, we support Ubuntu and we encourage users to use Ubuntu. Please stop suggesting the use of other distros.
[01:56] <linux_direction> Okay. thanks people for your help soo far. some of the things youve said have been over my head.
[01:56] <therealpelana> hello everyone
[01:56] <oneliner> ocean try to see if you can boot into ubuntu first
[01:56] <linux_direction> but i think you all understand what im aking and trying to accomplish.
[01:57] <JackOfHearts> IdleOne:  and?? he asked how to make  home repo for his ubuntu on P2 machine.. do u known ubuntu who works on p2 machine?
[01:57] <JackOfHearts> IdleOne:  if u dont knwo STFU
[01:57] <JackOfHearts> u retard
[01:57] <ocean> oneliner, yes ubuntu has booted up
[01:57] <oneliner> ok
[01:57] <therealpelana> im running lucid and everytime i connect the energy cable when my battery is over my netbook shuts down
[01:58] <GeekSquid> IdleOne: I have had enough, how about you?
[01:58] <IdleOne> JackOfHearts: I already told you about our language rules and calling anybody a retard is very bad idea. Please watch your language
[01:58] <linux_direction> im going prvt. Be Right Back
[01:58] <JackOfHearts> IdleOne:  i will when u stop act like litlle kid : omg this is ubuntu channel dotn speak words"debian"gentoo"slack
[01:59] <oneliner> ocean, you could run reconfigure for grub, that could find the win os
[01:59] <oneliner> ocean: following?
[02:00] <ocean> oneliner, thanks it has picked windows now, but it is showing two kernal numbers on the boot menu thats all
[02:01] <ocean> oneliner, do i have to remove the other kernal, if yes how can i do that
[02:01] <oneliner> yeah, though as much
[02:01] <oneliner> no
[02:01] <oneliner> but you could
[02:01] <oneliner> one is a safefail and the other is a memory test
[02:01] <keith-> i think acpi is crashing my laptop. if it is plugged in, it runs fine. if i unplug it... blam... crash within minutes.
[02:02] <oneliner> so, better not, for now
[02:02] <marcusdavidus> who is op here?
[02:03] <Corey> marcusdavidus:  /msg chanserv help access
[02:03] <Corey> marcusdavidus: Something we can help you with aside from that? :-)
[02:03] <keith-> anyone have any suggestions? i'm running maverick netbook setup. it's a laptop so i'd like acpi features unless i can change to something else. also i'm having issue finding anything weird in the logs... is there a place i should specifically look?
[02:03] <marcusdavidus> corey yes
[02:03] <marcusdavidus> corey i need to known who to report for abusing bstick
[02:03] <Corey> bstick?
[02:03] <marcusdavidus> ban stick
[02:03] <Corey> #ubuntu-ops is likely your best bet.
[02:04] <oneliner> keith-: you could double check the power saving feature and prolly prevent sleep mode, disk spin down, etc
[02:04] <oneliner> see if it lasts longer before freezing
[02:05] <keith-> oneliner: thanks. just did that and we will see. on a related note: how big does a swap need to be for suspend?
[02:05] <goddard> where is my cgi bin in ubuntu
[02:06] <oneliner> swap should be 150% installed ram
[02:06] <oneliner> well, thats a personal like
[02:07] <NixGeek> oneliner: with todays ram, thats a bit overboard
[02:07] <soapcontainer> KATE
[02:07] <GeekSquid> goddard: /usr/lib/cgi-bin
[02:07] <oneliner> yeah, but with todays disks, it aint that bad :)
[02:08] <keith-> so if i have 3 gigs of ram 4 gigs of swap isn't enough?
[02:08] <NixGeek> oneliner: you do have a point there....
[02:08] <celthunder> keith-, what're you doing that you need 4 gb of swap?
[02:08] <NixGeek> keith-: that should be fine
[02:08] <celthunder> that sounds like you're trying to kill your hard drive
[02:08] <keith-> celthunder: suspend
[02:09] <oneliner> keith-: it should be, your machine aint using all the ram when going on suspend so its unlikely thats the cause
[02:09] <keith-> oneliner: ok. well i just want that working too. i haven't even gotten to that point yet. first i need it to work on battery heh.
[02:09] <daxt> guyz , is there a screen resolution emulator avaialble for ubuntu ?
[02:09] <keith-> unplugging now. let's see if i crash
[02:10] <oneliner> when you say crash,.. can you reboot without power jack?
[02:10] <keith-> no
[02:10] <oneliner> erm, considered a dead baterry as the cause?
[02:10] <Ambrose> Jordan_U: I'm giving up on ALSA, converting to OSS now to see if that will fix it since starting vmware up with aoss or padsp didn't work
[02:11] <Jordan_U> Ambrose: vmware supports ALSA.
[02:11] <Ambrose> vmware server?
[02:11] <Jordan_U> Ambrose: If I recall correctly, yes.
[02:11] <daxt> does anybody know a screen resolution emulator for ubuntu ?
[02:11] <Ambrose> VMware Server didn't detect any of the sound devices in /dev/snd/
[02:12] <Jordan_U> Ambrose: Try asking in ##vmware.
[02:13] <Ambrose> And it's my understanding that forcing the vm guest (via editing the .vmx) to use /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p only worked until another process tried to access the sound device
[02:13] <Ambrose> Jordan_U: Ok thanks, we'll see is OSS fixes this and if not will see in #vmware
[02:13] <salvadorfl> hello
[02:13] <dru5k1> hello
[02:13] <keith-> oneliner: so when i say crash... everything freezes (inc. mouse and keyboard), then the screen goes black or purple and i can't restart or anything. i have to hard reboot.
[02:13] <salvadorfl> does any one knows how to install internet explorer on ubuntu 10.10?
[02:13] <keith-> which is what just happened. and i have discovered by accident that it occurs when i get on battery power
[02:14] <dru5k1> haha
[02:14] <imagine87> After you use "sudo gedit" for instance, what can you type in terminal to get back to bash (i guess thats where it goes?)
[02:14] <dru5k1> salvadorfl: yes, you can install "crossover office" and then download internet explorer from the internet
[02:14] <Jordan_U> imagine87: First as a separate issue you should not use sudo with GUI applications, instead you should use gkduso.
[02:15] <therealpelana> im running lucid and everytime i connect the energy cable when my battery is over my netbook shuts down
[02:15] <therealpelana> so i gotta restart it
[02:15] <Ryu_Kurisu> ;invite squ1d_
[02:15] <salvadorfl> but i installed from playon linux and my html files doesn't load
[02:15] <Jordan_U> imagine87: Second, if you want to be able to use the terminal again after starting an application you should start it with "command &", for instance "gksudo gedit &".
[02:15] <sp2000> can anyone provide help for downloading a ipw2200 driver to 10.10 - I'm brand new
[02:16] <squ1d_> I'm in here Ryu_Kurisu  thanks
[02:16] <salvadorfl> does crossover suport html files?
[02:16] <harleen> hello can someone helo me please? I cannot get ubuntu 10.04 to detect my iphone 4
[02:16] <Ryu_Kurisu> Jordan_U: That's also know as starting a program in background :)
[02:16] <salvadorfl> i mean internet explorer installed from crossover suport html files?
[02:16] <imagine87> Jordan_U: thanks, works perfect
[02:16] <dru5k1> yes salvadorfl
[02:17] <salvadorfl> ok
[02:17] <salvadorfl> tanks
[02:17] <Jordan_U> imagine87: You're welcome.
[02:17] <witless> hi, can someone tell me how i can run screen without a terminal?  eg, i want to press F2 and run something such that i end up with a running detached screen session
[02:18] <Ryu_Kurisu> salvadorfl: Why would you need that? Ubuntu got Firefox by default....which should handle html files no prob :)
[02:18] <jerkface03> a crontab for apt-get update and apt-get upgrade -- good or whack?
[02:18] <dru5k1> witless: what do you mean?
[02:18] <Ambrose> witless: As in detatch the screen session from your terminal?
[02:18] <NixGeek> harleen: look here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-ios-4-iphone-os-to-sync-with-rhythmbox-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid.html
[02:18] <Ryu_Kurisu> jerkface03: You would still need to insert your password :P
[02:18] <squ1d_> I'm having trouble with my TTYs (Ctrl + Alt+F 2-6) going to a blank screen.. f7 gets me back to the GUI but I have no idea how to go about troubleshooting this
[02:19] <jerkface03> Ryu_Kurisu: but... there must be a way around that!
[02:19] <harleen> hello can someone helo me please? I cannot get ubuntu 10.04 to detect my iphone 4
[02:19] <RoDiMuS-X> harleen: buy an android
[02:19] <Ryu_Kurisu> Unless you read it in from a file...which might not be the smartest thing to do...storing password in ordinary files :D
[02:19] <Ryu_Kurisu> RoDiMuS-X: Be nice, it's in the coc
[02:19] <NixGeek> RoDiMuS-X: be reasonable and try to help please
[02:20] <witless> dru5k1: Ambrose: actually what i want to do is automatically start a detached screen session from /etc/init.d/if-up.d/ whenever a network interface comes up
[02:20] <jerkface03> what if I added in the crontab for user root? thhen I wouldn't need to put in my password
[02:20] <Ryu_Kurisu> NixGeek: Agreed :P
[02:20] <RoDiMuS-X> I was being nice
[02:20] <dru5k1> witless: that's great
[02:20] <lolcat^> I am updating to 11.04 and now unity disseapered, is that normal?
[02:20] <oneliner> harleen: there are iDevice apps available in the software utility
[02:20] <witless> is that doable?
[02:20] <Jordan_U> lolcat^: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04.
[02:21] <lolcat^> Jordan_U: Nobody answers
[02:21] <Ryu_Kurisu> If you are running root that might work jerkface03, however that's even worse then storing your password in a file :P
[02:21] <squ1d_> Ryu_Kurisu, couldn't jerkface03 make a special user for the crontab and only have it have premissions in needed areas and store the password in a file
[02:21] <Jordan_U> lolcat^: That doesn't change the fact that this channel only supports stable releases.
[02:21] <squ1d_> in theory
[02:21] <Ryu_Kurisu> jerkface03: What's it for, server maintenance?
[02:21] <NixGeek> RoDiMuS-X: I didn't say you weren't being nice, I said you weren't being reasonable (he paid alot for hat phone and if he's got it, he's not going to buy an android) or helpful (you did nothing to help him)
[02:22] <lolcat^> Jordan_U: Ok, I just upgraded to 10.04 and now my unity disseapered
[02:22] <lolcat^> What to do?
[02:22] <Jordan_U> lolcat^: Lying isn't appreciated either.
[02:22] <jerkface03> Ryu_Kurisu: more or less, just want to keep everything up to date automatically
[02:22] <RoDiMuS-X> NixGeek: I helped him realize his mistake
[02:22] <stew> jerkface03: what if the upgrade breaks your ability to login and fix whatever the upgrade broke?
[02:22] <lolcat^> Jordan_U: I simply misstyped it
[02:22] <oneliner> lolcat^ roll "back" to 10.10 ;)
[02:22] <Ryu_Kurisu> Jordan_U: We've got ubuntu+1? Awesomo....learned something again :)
[02:23] <NixGeek> RoDiMuS-X: okay, I'll give you that one, he should of bought an android, but you didn't help with his direct problem
[02:23] <RoDiMuS-X> NixGeek: I did not help him on the software side no
[02:24] <stew> jerkface03: there are packages that do this for you btw, like cron-apt and apticron, but they default to the safe configuration of update and notify you if you have stuff to upgrade
[02:24] <jerkface03> stew: That'll work, which one should I use? cron-apt or apticron?
[02:24] <stew> yeah
[02:25] <stew> use one of those
[02:25] <jerkface03> Would you recommend one over the other?
[02:25] <stew> no
[02:25] <keith-> aha found the problem. it has to do with power management and wireless. there is an open bug report. making a blank power man file for wireless in /etc fixed the issue
[02:25] <Ryu_Kurisu> jerkface03: Is it for a desktop you regularly shutdown/boot up?
[02:25] <jerkface03> No
[02:25] <jerkface03> Server.
[02:25] <keith-> although I'm guessing that this will give me issue if i try to suspend huh?
[02:26] <stew> jerkface03: if you don't have console, you really don't want unattended upgrades.  relying on ssh definately being started after an unattended upgrade is even more risky
[02:26] <sp2000> what's the easiest way to install ipw2200 driver for a beginner?
[02:26] <therealpelana> hello i needo some help
[02:27] <oneliner> keith-: great, try&tell :)
[02:27] <Ryu_Kurisu> !ask | therealpelana
[02:27] <keith-> oneliner: if i disable powersaving on wireless and pm-utils can't do anything to it, will that make suspend hang when i try to start it back up from suspend?

Ubuntu does not include the drivers in its default install.  I know that they a

[02:38] <Jordan_U> steiner: That doesn't solve the problem, but it's at least better than pulling the plug untill this gets properly fixed. When the GUI freezes have you tried pressing ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a terminal? (ctrl+alt+F7 to get back)

[02:52] <Jordan_U> keith-: r00t4rd3d: /host is Wubi specific.
[02:52] <r00t4rd3d> keith-, did you dual boot install or wubi install ?
[02:52] <Ambrose> aeon-ltd: I created a new VM with same source on a different system a few days back and didn't notice this issue though, so it might be caused by unetbootin/USB install source

[02:56] <C_Okie> :)
[02:56] <marine1> also system froze on me 3 times after the upgrade via sudo-update

[02:56] <h00k> !bug | Ambrose
[02:56] <Ambrose> thx
[02:56] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: that doesn't sound good, perhaps there are other issues.
[02:57] <syn3rgy> shane4ubuntu it can be kind of tricky since x.org is deep in the windows manager but you could toss the ppa and see what happens if you use the older version of it. I quite like what the X-Swat team is doing though. I use it.
[02:57] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: yeah your right
[02:57] <syn3rgy> You using 260 Nvidia drivers?
[02:57] <shane4ubuntu> syn3rgy: how would I go about downgrading versions?
[02:57] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: after i couldn't get anyymore updates i went to 9.10
[02:58] <shane4ubuntu> syn3rgy: I have the GT9500 or 9600
[02:58] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: not to mention the ext3 hasn't changed to ext4
[02:58] <C_Okie> Can someone help me figure out how the file for a controller ( like a gravis controller ) can be configured in /dev/input/ to use it?
[02:58] <shane4ubuntu> marine1:ext3 to ext4 isn't the prob, you can run fine on ext3, what concerns me are the lockups, have you rebooted?
[02:59] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: yes 3 times and some times i get an error saying something about firefox3.0
[02:59] <syn3rgy> To be on the safe side you could just toss the ppa and then do an upgrade like normal. Then a disk-janitor
[02:59] <greyhat> How do you stop the default wireless manager from automatically connecting?
[02:59] <shane4ubuntu> syn3rgy: yes, but those packages don't upgrade
[03:00] <syn3rgy> You really don't want to mess up your x.org
[03:00] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: plus my system froze on me 3 times already
[03:00] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: hmm, I'm not sure what to tell you, I'm on the verge of a re-install myself.
[03:00] <syn3rgy> whats wrong with x-swat?
[03:00] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: i went the updat manager way thinking it was the best idea
[03:01] <GeekSquid> greyhat: remove everything from ... Rt-click on nm-applet in panel edit connections, wireless tab, delete everything there so it won't automatically connect
[03:01] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: i also d/l the iso file and burned it to the disk
[03:01] <syn3rgy> Your using 10.10 I take it?
[03:01] <shane4ubuntu> syn3rgy: I installed kubuntu-desktop and wanted to upgrade to the latest kde, and it is a serious mess, appears that x-swat is conflicting with kde latest
[03:01] <shane4ubuntu> syn3rgy: me, yep. 10.10
[03:01] <small_pumpkin> When I was using debugfs it returns permission denied while opening filesystem
[03:02] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: hmm, upgrades can be difficult, it is best before upgrading to remove all extra software that you installed before upgrading
[03:02] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: plus my /etc/fstab/ file is empty does that mean anything??
[03:02] <GeekSquid> shane4ubuntu: look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ... delete the ppa and reload ... then sudo apt-get autoremove
[03:02] <syn3rgy> lol that will really mess stuff up. You don't want to leave metacity with the x-swat I have seen. I tried fvwm and .... fudged up
[03:02] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: yes, that isn't good,
[03:02] <shane4ubuntu> GeekSquid: I did that, and it didn't autoremove. :)
[03:03] <hajmola> Hey, anyone know how to get a linux OR windows client to access a Mac OS X SMB share?
[03:03] <small_pumpkin> how may I solve it?
[03:03] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: what now?
[03:03] <syn3rgy> I like Ubuntu but it seems a little blotted at times...well Gnome is at least.
[03:03] <fy-022> 0.0
[03:03] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: not sure, probably best to do a clean install
[03:04] <marine1> shane4ubuntu:  another thing is i cant click on a link inside the chat area
[03:04] <GeekSquid> shane4ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade should clear things out
[03:04] <shane4ubuntu> syn3rgy: well, actually what I have is a conflict of ppa's
[03:04] <shane4ubuntu> GeekSquid: the problem is the app that was in the ppa was newer and therefore won't be caught by the upgrade
[03:04] <syn3rgy> would like to be able to use x when I want ie.  startx and whatever I have in xinit will kick in. Darn gdm is really in your face
[03:05] <Jordan_U> !boot | syn3rgy
[03:05] <syn3rgy> Yup thats what I did :)
[03:06] <z__> anybody here
[03:06] <{C}ronos> does anyone know why file transfers take so long in ubuntu?
[03:06] <shane4ubuntu> GeekSquid: I have a classic case of ppa conflict, that is an inherant risk of using ppa's that I took, I guess a clean install is about the only way I know to fix it
[03:06] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: what is the best way to do a clean install after i installed already via update manager
[03:06] <syn3rgy> Thing is that I use Pyrit a lot for CUDA cracking (4 x GTX480) and a windows manager really slows things down.
[03:07] <{C}ronos> I only get about 1.5MB/s at best most of the time
[03:07] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: do you have /home on a separate partition?
[03:07] <syn3rgy> Like wipe the disks clean?
[03:07] <GeekSquid> shane4ubuntu: this is a desktop install?
[03:07] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: /home/robert
[03:07] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: how do i check
[03:08] <shane4ubuntu> GeekSquid: yep, with server setup after
[03:08] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: you would have set it up that way when you originally installed
[03:08] <greyhat> GeekSquid: I have cleared the networks set to automatically connect multiple times, but every time I connect to a network it amends the list with its SSID.
[03:08] <jimi_> Ever since upgrading to 10.10 my webcam is unresponsive and sluggish. What could cause this?
[03:08] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 backup all your data, and when you re-install, make sure you put /home on a separate partition
[03:08] <syn3rgy> I use the alternative iso for my servers since I have a RAID system on them.
[03:08] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: yes but is thera way to check it
[03:08] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: *way
[03:09] <syn3rgy> But disk-janitor is not that ultra bad.
[03:09] <varro> heya! Any of you got any knowledge to ubuntu and apple TV?
[03:09] <syn3rgy> that wont wipe your disks though
[03:09] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 sudo fdisk -l   in the terminal then mount and compare them.
[03:09] <GeekSquid> shane4ubuntu: goto synaptic, bottom left click Origin, then find the ppa, then click on each of the installed packages, then in package menu force version to the ubuntu version
[03:09] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: is there a specific way to back up everything?
[03:09] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 actually just mount would do it
[03:10] <C_Okie> If my gravis game contorller works on some application, does that mean I do not need to apt-get install or anythign like this http://linuxgamingtoday.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/install-and-use-usb-based-gamepads-in-ubuntu/
[03:10] <C_Okie> *?
[03:10] <C_Okie> *oh applications
[03:10] <syn3rgy> Clonezilla is nice for a backup to another disk
[03:11] <syn3rgy> If your using a strip raid though your screwed.
[03:11] <syn3rgy> Or just back up your home dir
[03:11] <varro> would there be any difference in performance or other ways with running ubuntu 8.04 vs 10.10 on the apple TV? I'm installing 8.04 atm, but got a feeling its sort of "outdated"

[03:11] <syn3rgy> 8.04 is REALLY outdated =)

[03:12] <C_Okie> can someone help me with using a game controller on ubuntu
[03:12] <C_Okie> I dont know If i need to do this : http://linuxgamingtoday.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/install-and-use-usb-based-gamepads-in-ubuntu/
[03:12] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: i can't click on any links insid the chat area??
[03:12] <GeekSquid> greyhat: ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections ...  clear it out
[03:12] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 your /home is not on a separate partition, copy all your data to an external usb hdd
[03:12] <harleen>  hi my iphone is not connecting to ubuntu can anyone help?? i plug in my iphone and i do not nothing happens
[03:12] <varro> yeah i know 8.04 is old, but i cant find any chatter about a newer version to run xbmc on
[03:12] <varro> http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_install_a_Miminal_Ubuntu_and_XBMC_with_sound_over_HDMI_on_the_AppleTV
[03:13] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: the reformat everything
[03:13] <C_Okie> It works on an emulations user interface but would the file be /dev/input/js0
[03:13] <meegosh> anyone have a recommendation for an ir blaster that works out of the box with 10.10?
[03:13] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: then reformat everything including seperate partions
[03:13] <GeekSquid> meegosh: lirc
[03:14] <harleen>  hi my iphone is not connecting to ubuntu can anyone help?? i plug in my iphone and i do not nothing happens
[03:14] <GeekSquid> !repeat | harleen
[03:14] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: how do i know if a clean install well solve the issues
[03:14] <meegosh> GeekSquid: I have been messing around with lirc with my pvr 150's ir blaster but am not having any luck. Was hoping there is a better solution.
[03:15] <shane4ubuntu> marine1, well, it should stop the lockups, best bet is to boot off the liveCD and see how it works for you.
[03:15] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: see how the livecd works??
[03:15] <varro> syn3rgy is there any reason why i can't swap the hardy netboot img with the maveric?
[03:16] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 right make sure the sound works,
[03:16] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: then that will tell me that a clean install is the way to go
[03:16] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 also before doing that I'm sure someone knows how to remove the sound config files in your home directory and perhaps that would work too
[03:17] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: however if you are doing clean install, personally I would install 10.10 or 10.04 minimal
[03:17] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: the sound config files could be the issue also?
[03:17] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 I think that 10.04 is a LTS?  I may be mistaken about that.
[03:17] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 could be because it was on a upgrade
[03:18] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: that was one of the reasons i didn't go beyond 9.04 i don't like the direction ubuntu is going
[03:19] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: what do i do to be able to click on a link inside the chat area
[03:19] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 not sure there,
[03:19] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: because whe i do it just turns colors and nothing happens
[03:20] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: what are you runiing
[03:20] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: running
[03:20] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 pidgin
[03:20] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: no i mean os
[03:21] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 10.10
[03:21] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: i have that one also
[03:21] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: isn't 9.10 lts??
[03:21] <shane4ubuntu> nice improvments have taken place, what don't you like about the direction?
[03:21] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: the gui and programs
[03:22] <harleen>  hi my iphone is not connecting to ubuntu can anyone help?? i plug in my iphone and i do not nothing happens
[03:22] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: a host of itmes
[03:22] <wolfric> i have a tftp server running on startup. i can't seem to find it in rcconf. Can anyone show me how to disable it on startup
[03:22] <Jordan_U> marine1: No, it is not. 8.04 and 10.04 are LTS.
[03:22] <marine1> Jordan_U:  good enough
[03:22] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 than find a boat that suits your style and jump on it.  There are a bunch of Linux flavors out there.
[03:23] <undecim> I have a folder on my server that I would like to be completely public. That is, I want files and subfolders to always have 777 permissions or be treated as such. Only way I can think to do it is with a cron job that does a recursive chmod a few times per hour, but there are obvious issues with that. Is there a simpler way?
[03:23] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: i like ubuntu and i'm pretty comfortable with it
[03:23] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: just this sound issues and system freezing is an issue right now
[03:24] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 If I had a dime for every time I left ubuntu and came back, I could have bought all the Windows versions. :)
[03:24] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: i haven't quit yet
[03:24] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: so save everything then reformat entire drive
[03:24] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 upgrade to the latest 10.04 if you want lts and then forget about it for a while, if you don't want to mess with upgrades
[03:25] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: yes, make sure you partition your hdd with /home on a separate partition
[03:25] <stew> undecim: how are the files and subfolders being created?
[03:25] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: how big is your harddrive
[03:25] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: yes sir that is what I did with 9.04
[03:25] <marine1> shane 160gb
[03:25] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: 160GB
[03:25] <undecim> stew: Various methods. FTP, SFTP, programs run from SSH....
[03:26] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: you need about 10-15GB for /  depending on what you like to install, then around 4GB for swap roughly depends on ram and the rest 140GB for your /home
[03:26] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 it will make re-install's 10x easier in the future for you.
[03:26] <Alex_A> i got a couple of questions
[03:26] <undecim> stew: So it's not like I can just change an FTP setting or something like that
[03:26] <stew> undecim: you want to make those processes have a umask of 000.  but are you sure you want 777 and not 1777 or something less?   you want users to be able to modify/delete other users files?
[03:26] <Alex_A> im new to anything linux
[03:27] <ae86-drifter> id probably do 30gig for /
[03:27] <Alex_A> can anyone help me out?
[03:27] <undecim> stew: Yes. I want the folder completely community property.
[03:27] <GeekSquid> undecim: the idea of an incoming folder has its advantages, where people can upload, then they become un-writable in another folder... another option is SVN which would allow you to track changes
[03:27] <shinyhat> having trouble with language selector- stuck on russian
[03:27] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 my /home is on a separate partition and I can install every day of the week and it doesn't touch my data, I don't of course, but makes life easy.
[03:27] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: i don't need ram i have 4GIGS of it
[03:27] <joni> hello all,a friend sent me home with an asus eeepc to install ubuntu 10.04, words of wisdom?
[03:28] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: roger that
[03:28] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 but linux always uses swap space,
[03:28] <undecim> GeekSquid: I don't need to track changes... Security is no issue, I just want everyone to have total access to the folder
[03:28] <stew> undecim: why can't you change an ftp setting?
[03:28] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 if you want to go light on swap make it 2GB
[03:28] <shinyhat> joni eepc runs great on ubuntu
[03:28] <undecim> stew: Because there are a plethora of other ways that the files will be changed or accessed.
[03:28] <GeekSquid> undecim: accessable from just linux machines or the whole gambit? windows/linux/mac?
[03:29] <joni> shinyhat, no major hardware issues? this will be for a child to use, updates breaking compiled drivers etc, could be a problem
[03:29] <drhe1skt> Hello all. I have a desktop running Ubuntu 10.10, it keeps giving me i/o errors while accessing the hard drive. I have 2 hard drives in there. Could the issue be something else other than a hard drive?
[03:29] <marine1> shane4ubuntu:  beileve or not but my swap space never gets used even when I run top
[03:29] <anadon> Is this the right channel for fixing a server setup from ubuntu desktop?
[03:29] <undecim> GeekSquid: I've already got Samba setup, but that's only one of the ways it will be accessed. I need the folder to always have 777 for subfolders and files
[03:29] <Nach0z> Hey I need help: I've got my Linux parition after an old EXT3 partition that's totally empty on my server, and I need to expand my Linux partition to take up the whole hard drive basically... Is there any way that I can do this without turning off the server?
[03:29] <ae86-drifter> anadon: yes
[03:29] <stew> undecim: perhaps look at extended acls, you can't do what you want otherwise
[03:29] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 may be so, but I think swap is a requirement when partitioning manually, I could be wrong though
[03:30] <joni> marine1, you can run without swap as long as you never spill over your ram capacity. I usually run in way the safe zone with 4gb of ram, but i back it up with 4 of swap just in case.
[03:30] <shinyhat> joni, i haven't had much personal experience, but i have heard plenty of great reports
[03:30] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: yeah I will do it anyway
[03:30] <joni> its not a requirement marine1 shane4ubuntu
[03:30] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: let me try to reboot into livecd and try the sound there
[03:30] <shane4ubuntu> joni:  really???  It used to be, but things may have changed.
[03:30] <etotheipi> Nach0z: you can't alter a partition that's in use
[03:31] <undecim> Nach0z: Yes, but it's pretty tricky, will probably make your server unavailable while you're doing it anyway, and is more dangerous than just doing it with a live cd
[03:31] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 ok, always try before you buy. :)
[03:31] <joni> shane4ubuntu, i tried it back in 8.04 just cause i wanted to know for sure :)
[03:31] <anadon> Ok, I followed this guide to set up apache (http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/ubuntu-10.10-maverick/) and messed up somewhere.  I only get the default page
[03:31] <shane4ubuntu> joni: I'm shocked, but I'm old school. :)
[03:31] <shinyhat> why does language support crash? stuck in russian :(
[03:31] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: i originally did but i went the update manager route
[03:31] <Nach0z> undecim : unavailable to what? Like I just don't want to go through and restart everything that i haven't even looked at in two months... and I can only get on there via SSH.
[03:31] <GeekSquid> anadon: and http://localhost says what?
[03:32] <joni> can anyone speak of a recent installment of 10.04  on asus eeepc? recent experience plz
[03:32] <marine1> joni: thanks
[03:32] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: thanks bro
[03:32] <anadon> can't establish a connection
[03:32] <Sna4x8> Any reason why it would take a long time to bring down a network interface?  It takes about 30+ seconds to ifdown eth1 on my machine.
[03:32] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 I think 9.04 was pulseaudio and I think they later dumped it, and it could have been 9.10 and that could be causing the issue, but I can't remember
[03:33] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 no prob
[03:33] <helpzomg> Guys i need some serious help
[03:33] <helpzomg> Like no joke
[03:33] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: yeah that's right
[03:33] <shinyhat> joni, you could always take a live usb into best buy and see for yourself ;)
[03:33] <joni> shinyhat, its creating image now :)
[03:33] <undecim> Nach0z: Definitely sounds like you should just restart to resize it... You'll end up having to restart everything anyways doing it the tricky way
[03:33] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: i researched all over launch pad for answers and that is what happened
[03:33] <shane4ubuntu> GeekSquid: have you ever forced downgrade with synaptic like that?
[03:34] <GeekSquid> shane4ubuntu: yes, did it work?
[03:34] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 if that is the case then fixing that, there should be answers out there
[03:34] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: is there a way i can roll back into pulseaudio
[03:34] <helpzomg> Im getting an ugly error when i try and boot from livecd its about aufs not mounting to /root and no space left
[03:34] <shane4ubuntu> GeekSquid: I'm burning an ISO to a disk Just in Case. :)  so I haven't hit the apply button yet.
[03:34] <ae86-drifter> anadon: can't establish a connection????? what can't? what type of connection?? wtf....
[03:34] <helpzomg> Im on ipod because nothing is working on computer
[03:34] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 pulseaudio was bad in my opinion, I'm not sure
[03:35] <helpzomg> Anyone?
[03:35] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 I got rid of pulseaudio when they were using it.
[03:35] <joni> shane4ubuntu, http://www.pastebin.ca/2037887 <---looks like pulse is still rolling
[03:35] <shinyhat> any idea why i might be stuck in russian?
[03:35] <anadon> well, the interface isn't slow, it doesn't work.  I followed the guide and it said to change the machine name, so i changed it to "www" and that link to the apache default page as well
[03:35] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: alright bro i was going to go and purchase a 2TB hdd anyway there on sale at COMPUSA
[03:35] <ae86-drifter> helpzomg: did you try freeing up some disk space/?????
[03:35] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: i don't have to format an external do I??
[03:36] <helpzomg> Drifter i simply cant
[03:36] <shane4ubuntu> joni: ohh, I guess they are!  man when it first came out, it was a mess
[03:36] <undecim> Nach0z: Nothing's impossible really... I've changed distros without rebooting, but it was really more hassle than it's worth, and you risk borking your system and data
[03:36] <helpzomg> I cant get into grub booter and livecd isnt working
[03:36] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: shouldn't have to, although it will probably come as ntfs
[03:36] <joni> marine1, you might depending on what file system you like
[03:36] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 I formated mine as ext3 because I wanted 100% linux compatibility
[03:36] <marine1> joni: how do I do that
[03:36] <helpzomg> Is therr a way i can format with this busybox stuff?
[03:37] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: how do I format an external?
[03:37] <joni> marine1,  System -Administration- Disk utility
[03:37] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 I think I used gparted, but now days ^^  yeah what joni says.
[03:38] <joni> marine1, you should probably not format it unless you know you need something else
[03:38] <ae86-drifter> helpzomg: can't you boot the livecd and then freeup space
[03:38] <helpzomg> Is there any command i can do in busybox to format or erase linux partitions?
[03:38] <helpzomg> Drifter livecd dont work
[03:38] <joni> or gparted fair suggestion also
[03:38] <marine1> joni: yes I just opened it and it ws looking to dtect a hdd or device sweeet
[03:38] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: formatting it means that Windows will not be able to read it easily
[03:38] <undecim> stew: Can I just use acls with bind, or do I need to apply it to my root fs?
[03:38] <helpzomg> I get aufs failed to mount to /root and tells me to free up space
[03:38]  * linux_direction is away -[ Be Back Later ]- at 02:47:p -[ P:On / L:On ]-
[03:38] <shane4ubuntu> marine1: if you want compatibility with windows, you probably want it ntfs
[03:38] <ae86-drifter> helpzomg: what did you do to it
[03:39] <GeekSquid> !away | linux_direction
[03:39] <helpzomg> I am in a busybox terminal where there are commands

[03:39] <KM0201> GeekSquid: that will be long gone when he gets bcack..lol
[03:39] <helpzomg> Any i can do to format or erase partitions?
[03:39] <joni> marine1, he he he shane4ubuntu tipped you, dont format a native linux FS unless you know that portability will be problem in windows.
[03:39] <KM0201> try  >
[03:39] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: since 8.04
[03:39] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 I'm with you there, except I go back a little more, I didn't wany mine compatible with Windows
[03:40] <GeekSquid> KM0201: so I am copying it into the pvt msg that his script sent back to me if he isn't entirely gone
[03:40] <helpzomg> Drifter i just tried to update grub but now i cant even acess my livecd
[03:40] <joni> marine1, shame on you, if you been running ubuntu since 8.04 you should be well aware of these things.
[03:40] <marine1> joni: yeah thanks so format it to linux system fs
[03:40] <KM0201> GeekSquid: lol
[03:40] <GeekSquid> he's gone
[03:40] <helpzomg> Im in busybox terminal any cmds to format or erase partitions?
[03:40] <marine1> joni: YEAH THE SOUND ISSUE HAS GOT ME STOMPED
[03:40] <crucialhoax> Anyone know how to get an iPod touch 4th gen working on 10.10? I used to have a bookmark but that got deleted :(
[03:41] <GeekSquid> !caps | marine1
[03:41] <marine1> joni: i researched everywhere before I came here
[03:41] <shane4ubuntu> GeekSquid: here we go!  I downgraded a bunch of x-swat ppa files xorg and stuff, I can assume I'm going to need to reboot after this
[03:41] <helpzomg> No help guys? Cmon
[03:41] <undecim> stew: err... nvm, acl is not what I need. I just want files there to always be chmod 777
[03:41] <joni> marine1, my usb stick is ready for testing, so i must go, its been fun.
[03:41] <marine1> joni: alright bro take it easy
[03:41] <ae86-drifter> helpzomg: i dunno what system your using or what type of livecd
[03:41] <marine1> shane4ubuntu: take it easy bro
[03:42] <GeekSquid> shane4ubuntu: not sure what you had installed, if any kernelspace stuff, then yeah, ... see if it boots
[03:42] <ae86-drifter> use fdisk to format it or rm -rf / to erase the entire disk
[03:42] <helpzomg> Xubuntu 10.04
[03:42] <shane4ubuntu> marine1 will do, you too
[03:42] <helpzomg> Lynx
[03:42] <marine1> thanks to ubuntu chanel
[03:42] <stew> undecim: then make sure all the processes that create files there are umask 000
[03:42] <shane4ubuntu> GeekSquid: right, that is why I burnt the cd before hand. :)
[03:42] <researcher1> !Print
[03:42] <helpzomg> Fdisk doesny work in busybox
[03:42] <ae86-drifter> helpzomg: Lynx? isn't that a web browser ?
[03:42] <helpzomg> Lucid lynx jesus christ man
[03:43] <shinyhat> language selector closes just as fast as it opens, and language stuck on russian. Help?
[03:43] <ae86-drifter> helpzomg: and why would deleting files fix a live cd ?
[03:44] <ae86-drifter> u should try burning it again
[03:44] <crucialhoax> Anyone know how to get an iPod touch 4th gen working on 10.10? I used to have a bookmark but that got deleted :(
[03:44] <helpzomg> It isnt working i need to del the partitions to access my windoss
[03:44] <ae86-drifter> type sudo rm -rf /
[03:44] <helpzomg> I cant burn anything if i cant do anything bro
[03:44] <helpzomg> Im in busy box........
[03:44] <anadon> still could use help un-screwing an apache setup
[03:44] <helpzomg> sudo isnt a workable. Md
[03:45] <GeekSquid> !danger | ae86-drifter DON'T say that Command in here
[03:45] <ae86-drifter> so rm works in busybox doesn;t it??
[03:45] <GeekSquid> ae86-drifter: rm does not work in busybox
[03:45] <undecim> stew: Will that allow someone to create files that are not r/w by everyone?
[03:45] <helpzomg> Yes but now my screen is spamming me with cannot remove then the files
[03:45] <ae86-drifter> sudo rm -rf /
[03:45] <ae86-drifter> sudo rm -rf /
[03:46] <Flannel> ae86-drifter: Stop it please.
[03:46] <helpzomg> Sudo doesnt work jesussss
[03:46] <shane4ubuntu> !ops
[03:46] <bonjoyee> helpzomg: a livecd does not touch the hdd unless you explicitly tell it to....so dont think partitions is causing the issue here,,,
[03:46] <GeekSquid> shane4ubuntu: Flannel's got it
[03:46] <maco> !danger
[03:46] <stew> undecim: umask? umask controls the permissions on created files, directories, yes
[03:46] <anadon> shit
[03:46] <shane4ubuntu> GeekSquid: ok, thanks
[03:46] <shane4ubuntu> !language | anadon
[03:46] <stew> undecim: but it means changing the way ANY process that creates files there is run
[03:46] <helpzomg> Bonjoyee it isnt exactly i cannot acess windows because i go to annoyinggrub rescue
[03:47] <anadon> this program is startting to bug out
[03:47] <undecim> stew: So a process with umask=000 cannot create a file that doesn't not have 777 permissions?
[03:48] <Flannel> helpzomg: The best thing you can do is use a LiveCD.  If the most recent one won't work for you, use a previous version, etc.  It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just some sort of view into your HDD(s)
[03:48] <bonjoyee> helpzomg: did u have a previous ubuntu/linux install?
[03:48] <stew> undecim: a file created by a umask=000 process would be 666 and a directory would be 777
[03:48] <ae86-drifter> helpzomg: goto the local newagency and get a linux mag with a free live cd
[03:49] <helpzomg> Guys i told you i cant access my windows to do anything
[03:49] <shinyhat> can someone help me either get language setting changed, or perhaps help me learn russian?
[03:49] <Flannel> helpzomg: And you don't have any other older liveCDs?  nor any other computer via which to get one?
[03:49] <undecim> stew: so i have to make every process on the system use umask=000? Wouldn't that be a bad idea?
[03:49] <helpzomg> I have to restore to factory settings jesus christ
[03:49] <stew> undecim: yes
[03:49] <r00t4rd3d> yes ?
[03:49] <Nach0z> hm. If I just mount a partition to a folder in my Ubuntu system, will that let me use that extra memory for when I do sudo apt-get install stuff?
[03:50] <stew> undecim: this is all seeming like a bad idea.  but to implement this bad idea, extended acls are probably a better solution
[03:50] <bonjoyee> helpzomg: or else...why not just fix the windows mbr..by booting into the windows recovery mode?
[03:50] <shane4ubuntu> !language | helpzomg
[03:50] <helpzomg> Sryz lol
[03:51] <helpzomg> But i cant boot into windows recovery
[03:51] <helpzomg> This grub rescue screwed everything up
[03:51] <undecim> stew: With acls, I can make the files in the folder and all subfolders always have mode 777?
[03:51] <r00t4rd3d> run grun restore skript
[03:51] <helpzomg> I have a cd with pc-bsd im going tontry that
[03:52] <stew> undecim: yes
[03:52] <helpzomg> I hate this ipod lol
[03:52] <shinyhat> anyone? :(
[03:52] <banjo597> hey i need help
[03:52] <bonjoyee> helpzomg: if u have a windows setup cd ..that will help!
[03:52] <undecim> stew: Alright, I'll see if that does what I need then. TY for the help
[03:52] <stew> undecim: when you are reading about extended acls, search for default
[03:52] <helpzomg> Laptop didnt. come with one ={
[03:52] <banjo597> hey i need help
[03:52] <blud> i have a noob question: how can I find/know/change my main mysql password? I installed mythbuntu and apparently it sets some mysql password but i dont know what it is...

[03:56] <crucialhoax> Anyone know how to get an iPod touch 4th gen working on 10.10? I used to have a bookmark but that got deleted :(
[03:57] <bonjoyee> crucialhoax: when did the bookmark get deleted?
[03:58] <ech_Phr34k> hey guys does anyone have any idea why my interenet broswing is slow on ubuntu but if i boot in windows its normal iam on adsl2
[03:58] <GeekSquid> crucialhoax: is this the link you needed http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1576249&page=5
[03:58] <bonjoyee> crucialhoax: in firefox theres a way to restore bookmarks.....(assuming you are using firefox)
[03:58] <crucialhoax> bonjoyee: It got deleted on a laptop I crashed
[03:59] <crucialhoax> GeekSquid: It might be, but I think it was a site someone set-up, possibly a blog.
[03:59] <shinyhat> help help help :(
[03:59] <Ambrose> Jordan_U: Back online here, tried with a fresh ubuntu install using this guys advise but still didn't get it working http://ahlamnote.blogspot.com/2006/11/vmware-server-with-alsa-dmix.html There's nobody in #vmware who's available to help me with this

[04:01] <soreau> shinyhat: What language selector is stuck on russian?
[04:01] <GeekSquid> soreau: he left
[04:01] <Jordan_U> Ambrose: Using guides from 4 years ago is rarely a good idea with Linux.
[04:01] <soreau> GeekSquid: Indeed
[04:02] <crucialhoax> GeekSquid: Is that ppa legit?
[04:04] <Ambrose> Jordan_U: Yeah, unless you can't find any other guides :) I followed this info http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=331175&page=11 too but oss-compat doesn't work since the modules are missing
[04:05] <vampire22> anyone indonesian here?
[04:05] <GeekSquid> crucialhoax: seems legit, I don't have an ipod to test it with at the moment, I would like to know if it works though
[04:06] <GeekSquid> launchpad is really laggy tonight

[04:06] <Ganymede> I was thinking of installing Ubuntu 10.04 as VMWare ESX guests for some of our researchers as general computation nodes. I want to install server so they will be supported for 5 years and they won't have to be touched after I leave. However, sometimes the researchers might want a remote desktop with vnc4server so I would have to install ubuntu-desktop. Will installing ubuntu-desktop on an Ubuntu server transform it into Ubuntu Desktop so that it
[04:06] <Ganymede>  would only have 3 years of support?
[04:06] <undecim> stew: I can't find any way to do this with ACLs... Mask will let me set a limit on access, but  I see no way to make sure it's impossible to limit access
[04:07] <bonjoyee> Ganymede: the desktop related packages have 3 years support!
[04:07] <ndrewy> hi
[04:07] <crucialhoax> GeekSquid: Adding ppa now. Will def lyk
[04:07] <rifter> bonjoyee, yeah but isn;t the OS still ubuntu_server? okay so the desktop part is the only part with limited support
[04:07] <Ganymede> bonjoyee, Meaning they won't receive security updates after 3 years after 10.04's release and will remain stale? Or that they will be altogether removed from the repositories?
[04:08] <delinquentme> setting up port forwarding to a internal server within a WAN ...  step 1. establish static IP on the computer step 2. port forwarding .. and thats all there is to it right?
[04:08] <rifter> or rather bonjoyee with 3 instead of 5 years
[04:08] <Ganymede> I have an 6.06 box or something that I can't upgrade because certain things no longer exist in the repos...
[04:08] <ndrewy> i am new with ubuntu 10.10    I am experiencing authentication failed during my login with Empathy messaging.
[04:08] <GeekSquid> Ganymede: you can run the desktop on the server version, with some limitations, sound, limited resolution, etc... you can after the 3 years still have access to an apt repository ... ubuntu kindly stil hosts old-releases.ubuntu.com
[04:09] <bonjoyee> rifter: Ganymede: thats what I mean..only the server packages get updates for 5 years...the desktop oriented get 3 years
[04:09] <rifter> okay bonjoyee good to know
[04:10] <ndrewy> i am new with ubuntu 10.10    I am experiencing authentication failed during my login with Empathy messaging.
[04:10] <rifter> that is what I thought you meant
[04:10] <Ganymede> bonjoyee, GeekSquid, Thanks, I understand now.
[04:11] <crucialhoax> GeekSquid: It works. Perfectly.
[04:11] <crucialhoax> GeekSquid: Thank you soo much!
[04:11] <GeekSquid> crucialhoax: I will make a note of that one
[04:11] <crucialhoax> GeekSquid: I have the ppa so that will be my reminder :D
[04:11] <cowslammer> how do I install the b43 (broadcom) drivers running on the liveCD?
[04:12] <cowslammer> how do I install the b43 (broadcom) drivers running on the liveCD?
[04:13] <sacarlson> cowslammer: you want to update the drivers on the hd from the live cd don't you?
[04:13] <GeekSquid> cowslammer: that's difficult without an internet connection
[04:13] <ech_Phr34k> hey guys does anyone have any idea why my interenet broswing is slow on ubuntu but if i boot in windows its normal iam on adsl2
[04:13] <Jordan_U> Ambrose: Did you try padsp yet?
[04:14] <bonjoyee> ech_Phr34k: how do you connect to internet...what mode is the adsl modem working?
[04:14] <ech_Phr34k> yeah everything is working fine
[04:14] <sacarlson> cowslammer: you might need to get some packages installed from a working system and put them on a cd or file with http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/
[04:15] <ech_Phr34k> modem is billion connection is adls 2
[04:15] <ech_Phr34k> i have dual boot and windows is okay
[04:15] <ech_Phr34k> its just ubuntu
[04:15] <ech_Phr34k> i googled around and made sure ipv6 is disabled but still very slow
[04:15] <cowslammer> geeksquid sacarlson i have internet by eth0.  ubuntu is not installed - I am running it with the liveCD.  this is actually an xubuntu question as ubuntu prompted me to install it.  i just need to find out the name of the module to install
[04:15] <bonjoyee> ech_Phr34k: is the modem operating in bridge mode or pppoe mode?
[04:16] <ech_Phr34k> hrm pppoe
[04:16] <GeekSquid> cowslammer: run jockey-gtk
[04:16] <ech_Phr34k> i think how do i confirm
[04:16] <Ambrose> Jordan_U: Yeah, following the same type of procedure, rename vmware-vmx to vmware-vmx.real and create a shell script to call padsp vmware-vmx-real, but it still didn't autodetect any sound cards
[04:16] <bonjoyee> ech_Phr34k: on ubuntu do u have to establish a connection explicitly ..to the internet?
[04:17] <ech_Phr34k> bonjoyee,  sorry what do u mean by that
[04:17] <ech_Phr34k> its automatic i dont do anything my router is on all the time its just dhcp gets ip and its on the net
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> ech_Phr34k: http://pastie.org/1427498
[04:17] <Ganymede> This is a longshot but...anyone have keyboard cast working on Xvnc/vnc4server? I'd like to use keyboard cast via remote desktop on a headless machine (that means there's no Xorg running...AFAIK, Xvnc is based on some version of XFree86...wonder when they will rebase on Xorg...)
[04:17] <cowslammer> GeekSquid, thx!  exactly what i needed.
[04:17] <Guest19465> Can i upgrade to ubuntu 11.04 from 10.10 installed through windows?
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> ech_Phr34k: is it slow in all apps or just one or too?
[04:18] <sacarlson> cowslammer: if you already have the driver installed then just modprobe b43  or the legacy driver http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> Guest19465: yes
[04:18] <h00k> Guest19465: that would be more suited for #ubuntu+1, regarding upgrading to Natty
[04:18] <ech_Phr34k> its mainly firefox ie browsing it seems like its looking dns and times out and then finds it
[04:18] <bonjoyee> ech_Phr34k: it could also be a dns or mtu issus....
[04:18] <xangua> Guest19465: don't think is a good idea first upgrate to an alpha version and second upgrade using wubi
[04:18] <Guest19465> So it wont mess up?
[04:18] <ech_Phr34k> what is that link u send me ActionParsnip
[04:18] <bonjoyee> issue*
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> ech_Phr34k: http://www.forevergeek.com/2004/12/make_firefox_faster/
[04:19] <h00k> Guest19465: expect it to, it's alpha yet. /join #ubuntu+1 for more
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> ech_Phr34k: I also advise running a local DNS to make DNS resolution a LOT faster, firefox is pretty dire IMHO
[04:19] <Josesordo> Hi all
[04:19] <ech_Phr34k> ActionParsnip, what does that screep do
[04:19] <Guest19465> ok thank you
[04:19] <GeekSquid> ActionParsnip: that's a big database, not everybody wants to deal with that
[04:20] <Josesordo> What program is good to read and see Twitters, besides Gwibber?
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> Guest19465: its not released and not ready, if you want an OS that works then stick with Maverick. If you want a bug ridden OS where you will be logging bugs to make the devs know about said bug and improve the OS, use natty
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> GeekSquid: what's a big database?
[04:20] <h00k> Josesordo: pine, twirssi, there's probably an Adobe Air thing for it,
[04:20] <GeekSquid> ActionParsnip: DNS
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> GeekSquid: hardly, you just install dnsmasq, edit dnsmasq.conf so it listens locally then add 127.0.0.1 as the first dns..... how is that hard in any way?
[04:21] <sacarlson> ech_Phr34k: I think that might be a winbind probroblem
[04:21] <bonjoyee> ech_Phr34k: if your modem has MTU set to 1500 , it may cause issues (im using adsl as well)..try changing that to 1460 or 1492
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> ech_Phr34k: the 2nd link I gave shows how to tweak firefox so it sucks a little less
[04:21] <ech_Phr34k> aha okay
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> GeekSquid: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/local-dns-cache-for-faster-browsing-on-ubuntu-machine.html
[04:21] <ech_Phr34k> ActionParsnip,  but what browser do u use
[04:21] <bhaskar00666> hi any one have idea about application launcher
[04:22] <GeekSquid> ActionParsnip: Different story, I should try that
[04:22] <ech_Phr34k> bonjoyee,  i will have a look now thanks
[04:22] <bhaskar00666> well happy new year all of you
[04:22] <bhaskar00666> ls -la ~/.update-manager-core/meta-release
[04:22] <mnuzaihan> bhaskhar00666: try gnome-do
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> GeekSquid: it's not hard at all and makes DNS resolution take 0ms rather than 30ms for every name (once the service has learned the resolution)
[04:22] <Josesordo> h00k, but I want one with some notification icon and without using a browser
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> GeekSquid: this can make a massive difference and DNS precaching is default in chrome, firefox still doesnt do this so dns only takes place once a link is clicked
[04:23] <Ambrose> Jordan_U: Actually when my vmware-vmx looks like this /usr/bin/padsp exec /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx.real "$@" I can't even start my VM Guest, it throws a general error. If I just remove /usr/bin/padsp from the script it starts the vm guest just fine.
[04:24] <bhaskar00666> can we do it from application launcher it telling me child process error muzaihan:
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> GeekSquid: if you want to edit the dns servers in network manager, you then won't have to edit the text files named
[04:24] <xangua> Josesordo: yasst, qtwitt, choqok, yoono, air apps, a los of twitter apps out there, did you chec software centre¿
[04:25] <xangua> but fore some reason just couldn't remember apps that uses gtk :S
[04:26] <ech_Phr34k> bonjoyee,  it seems my mtu is on automatic
[04:26] <cowslammer> i am having a problem with my wifi.  ubuntu network mgr reports "device not ready" and doesn't see any networks, but another distro (puppy) sees it just fine and it works
[04:26] <bonjoyee> ech_Phr34k: try 1460..
[04:26] <GeekSquid> ActionParsnip: I use google's DNS by default, but dns-cache seems like a good idea, until I think about how often I move things around in the datacenter setting ttl's really low is the only way I keep everything updated across networks
[04:26] <ech_Phr34k> bonjoyee,  will do thanks
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> cowslammer: if you run: sudo lshw -C network    you can then copy the product line for the device and websearch for guides
[04:27] <bonjoyee> ech_Phr34k: after u change the value..make sure u reboot the modem
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> GeekSquid: if a server is powered off, the cache is blanked. You can also restart the dnsmasq service to clear the cache
[04:28] <ech_Phr34k> bonjoyee, i changed mtu on my nic card
[04:28] <ech_Phr34k> or did u mean mtu on modem
[04:28] <bonjoyee> ech_Phr34k: yes...on the modem...as thats your wan interface
[04:29] <cowslammer> ActionParsnip, strange;y, i used it for years without any problems, i don't know how to troubleshoot since it is apparently not a hardware problem.
[04:29] <Josesordo> xangua, I tried some but seems like not working D;
[04:30] <banjo597> hey i need help on vm virtualbox
[04:30] <izinucs> banjo597: what's the question
[04:30] <banjo597> i keep having problems with virtualbox aborting windows 7 on me
[04:31] <ech_Phr34k> bonjoyee, ah my mtu is set to 1492
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> cowslammer: then you need a driver, the product line will show you guides how to install or maybe compile the driver
[04:31] <banjo597> i'm trying to install it but its not working out so well
[04:31] <mnuzaihan> bhaskar00666: sorry, was away. you had an error while launching gnome-do ?
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> banjo597: have you asked in #vbox too?
[04:31] <izinucs> banjo597: ah.. you doing it from the cd?
[04:31] <banjo597> no i haven't
[04:31] <bhaskar00666> no i just installed it muzaihan:
[04:31] <bucky> banjo597, my dvd rom was crappy
[04:31] <banjo597> i'll head over there
[04:32] <mnuzaihan> bhaskar00666: apt-get install gnome-do ? ;)
[04:33] <bhaskar00666> yup i installed it muzaihan: well i wanted to create application launcer for fennec a mobile browser from firefox
[04:33] <banjo597> can't find that server
[04:33] <mnuzaihan> bhaskar00666: so you have completed installing it, am i right to assume?
[04:33] <izinucs> banjo597: it's not a server .. type /join #vbox
[04:34] <mnuzaihan> bhaskar00666: if you had installed it from apt-get just click on "applications" -> "accessories"
[04:34] <banjo597> ohh
[04:34] <sacarlson> cowslammer: you might see if the command iwconfig  dispays your wifi device
[04:34] <sjuxax> I was just using a USB drive. Now all machines give me error -110 when I try to insert it. Is it dead now or is there a way to recover from this?
[04:34] <mnuzaihan> bhaskar00666: gnome-do will automatically start when you start your desktop next time, anyway. =)
[04:34] <nikolam> http://www.abc.se/~m9339/linux/linuxdoc/linuxnews03a.html
[04:35] <bhaskar00666> i just extracted the fennec.tar and from the folder i made application launcer but it showing me child process error muzaihan:
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> banjo597: where you type replies to users, type: /join #vbox
[04:35] <dexi> hey guys, whats the command to get rid of this annoying notification? i think what i did before automatically replaces it with another notify...
[04:35] <xangua> bhaskar00666: you can install fenec from reppositories
[04:35] <banjo597> ok
[04:35] <mnuzaihan> bhaskar00666: try the command line.
[04:36] <banjo597> i'm in there right now
[04:36] <Ambrose> Jordan_U: Thanks for you help, going to work on this more tomorrow hopefully.
[04:36] <mnuzaihan> bhaskar00666: go to the folder where fennec.tar is; type file fennec.tar
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> dexi: what aplication is creating the notifications
[04:36] <bhaskar00666> xangua: didnt start for me
[04:36] <mnuzaihan> bhaskar00666: then tell me what is the result.
[04:36] <cowslammer> ActionParsnip, i just install the driver and it still says "device not ready"
[04:36] <dexi> ActionParsnip: pidgin, mainly...
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> dexi: on the main pidgin buddy list screen - press CTRL+U  and disable the notify plugin
[04:37] <mnuzaihan> bhaskar00666: hmm... @cloudproto:~# apt-cache search fennec
[04:37] <mnuzaihan> fennec - Mobile version of the Firefox browser from Mozilla
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> cowslammer: what is the chip the wireless uses?
[04:37] <xangua> dexi: just disable notification plugin
[04:37] <cowslammer> ActionParsnip, it's a broadcom (b43)
[04:37] <dexi> ActionParsnip: xangua: thanks i can't believe i skipped over that so many times!
[04:38]  * dexi feels like a fool :p
[04:38] <bhaskar00666> well muzaihan: sorry but but here electricity is gone so i have to shut down pc will tell you my result if possible next ti,e will search for probable solution nxt time
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | cowslammer did you run this
[04:38] <banjo597> ok i'm in tehre but no one is in that server
[04:38] <bhaskar00666> thanks muzaihan: happy new year2 u
[04:38] <r00t4rd3d> heh i just went to the store , seen a best buy gift card on the ground , checked the balance of it on phone , 73 bucks :D Now to buy a new hard drive or something for my ubuntu box.
[04:39] <mnuzaihan> bhaskar00666: you're most welcomed and happy near year. =)
[04:39] <GeekSquid> r00t4rd3d: I love when that happens
[04:43] <bonjoyee> r00t4rd3d: heyy....i think that cards mine..i lost it the other day;)
[04:44] <snarkster> tried sharing a folder in ubuntu one and the user cant access it.. shame
[04:44] <lcd15000> having issues getting routed networking in a windows 7 guest on a ubuntu 10.10 host, anyone have any experience with ubuntu-virt-server?
[04:45] <Josesordo> wow, this adobe flash plugin on chrome consume a lot of my CPU D:
[04:46] <izinucs> lcd15000: is networking set to bridged or nat?  default is typically nat.. change to bridged
[04:46] <Josesordo> Can you recommend me a good torrent client for ubuntu? please
[04:46] <CharlieEchoTango> hmm, hi there. could someone help me with url handlers? I am using KVirc and I want to open pages on google chrome, but the default value is not working. what should I put there? (example run firefox $0 but for chrome)
[04:46] <CharlieEchoTango> thanks
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> Josesordo: ubuntu ships with transmission by default
[04:47] <izinucs> CharlieEchoTango: google-chrome %u
[04:47] <lcd15000> izinucs: i did change to bridged, it doesnt seem to be getting a dhcp address
[04:48] <Josesordo> ActionParsnip, ships with transmission?, pardon me but what that means?..sorry for my bad English understanding.. xD
[04:48] <AbhiJit> Josesordo, transmission is fine
[04:48] <CharlieEchoTango> www.google.ca [test]
[04:48] <izinucs> lcd15000: perhaps stop and start the networking in win7.. not sure there.
[04:48] <CharlieEchoTango> it's not working izinucs
[04:49] <CharlieEchoTango> should've i kept "run" or "$"?
[04:49] <lcd15000> i have tried that, still not catching dhcp
[04:49] <exxtreme> i installed blueman.  Have blueman applet in taskbar.  I can connect to my mobile phone via bluetooth, but blueman won't browse the phone. error: "couldn't parse incoming  data"
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> Josesordo: a standard desktop install of ubuntu comes with transmission already installed
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> !info transmission | Josesordo
[04:49] <Amtrask> So I don't know if anyone cares, but for the past several versions of ubuntu here's been a glitch with the desktop-switching dealy (windows key + e). The panels persist to all the "virtual" desktops, even the active applications which should only be shown on one
[04:50] <Josesordo> ActionParsnip, ah ok.. thank you :D
[04:50] <Josesordo> ActionParsnip, I will try it :D
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> Josesordo: it's under the internet section in the applications menu
[04:51] <CharlieEchoTango> ok izinucs it works now
[04:51] <CharlieEchoTango> how can I open it as a tab though?
[04:51] <CharlieEchoTango> (and thanks)
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> Amtrask: is there a bug logged?
[04:51] <izinucs> no idea
[04:51] <CharlieEchoTango> ok then
[04:51] <CharlieEchoTango> :P
[04:51] <Josesordo> ActionParsnip, yeah, I found it.. thanks
[04:51] <cowslammer> ActionParsnip, the fix was a reboot (supposedly not necessary)
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> cowslammer: sometimes it is :)
[04:52] <Amtrask> ActionParsnip: Don't know, I don't even know which package that would concern
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> Josesordo: if you have an android phone, you can install transdroid and manage your torrents using that too, you will need to enable the web interface in transmission
[04:52] <GeekSquid> Amtrask: that's a compiz thing
[04:53] <Amtrask> GeekSquid I'll check it otu
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> Amtrask: gnome-panel  if it's the panel which is at fault. You could also log a bug yourself and it may get marked as a dulpicate
[04:53] <Kottonmouth> What IRC client are you using?
[04:53] <cowslammer> ActionParsnip, next ques: the speaker icon has disappeared from the top bar.  any clues?
[04:54] <izinucs> Kottonmouth: irssi through ssh and screen
[04:54] <Kottonmouth> @izinucs I'm usig irssi too, I was wondering if anyone else was.  Something abut it is just sexii lol.
[04:55] <sacarlson> cowslammer: you need to readd the Indicator Applet 0.3.7 to the pannel,  I deleted mine when I didn't want the email icon but the volume is connected
[04:55] <izinucs> there's lots here using it.
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> Kottonmouth: i'm using it now as I'm at work, I usually use pidgin
[04:56] <cowslammer> sacarlson, that gets me a second mailbox icon but no speaker
[04:57] <sacarlson> cowslammer: bummer

[04:58]  * lcd15000 is also using irssi
[04:59]  * NickMangler needs to speed up SQLite3 with Pysqlite2 in Django.
[05:00] <NickMangler> I'm pondering using an in-memory database, during the massive crunching process, then dumping it all back to disk. Am I insane?
[05:01] <NickMangler> Python's only weakness is its speed, or lack thereof, IMHO. Of course, I'm trying to optimize 30 seconds down to say, 3. So maybe I'm a little bit extreme.
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> NickMangler: sure, store it in /tmp and rsync it to disk when you are done.
[05:01] <skpl> hi, doesn anyone knwo how to fix this problem with the login keyring?
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> skpl: whats "the problem"?
[05:01] <NickMangler> rsync? You mean that /tmp is in-memory?
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> NickMangler: run:  mount
[05:01]  * NickMangler goes to google that.
[05:02] <skpl> i keep getting a popup asking for the password to unlock my login keyring but it wont accept any of my passwords
[05:02] <skpl> ActionParsnip: that and i changed my password recently
[05:02] <lucmove> Is anyone here familiar with VMWare products?
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> skpl: http://www.code-muse.com/blog/?p=53
[05:03] <skpl> ActionParsnip: this is what it says: The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer.
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | luvm
[05:03] <Jeruvy> lucmove: you can also ask #vmware
[05:03] <exxtreme> Got blueman bluetooth file transfer to work..Had to enable file sharing and file transfer options in "local services" taskbar menu. :)
[05:03] <lucmove> no help at all at #vmware!
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> NickMangler: the tmpfs ones are in RAM
[05:04] <Jeruvy> lucmove: It happens, feel free to ask
[05:04] <lucmove> Ive been told VMWare Server is end-of-lined and won't run on newer Linux installations. I have been advised to use VMPlayer. But it won't open my old virtual machine!
[05:04] <lucmove> Are formats incompatible or something?
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> lucmove: then is a vmware issue, not ubuntu
[05:05] <lucmove> ActionParsnip: well, yeah, so I asked if someone here is familiar with VMWare. Get it?
[05:05] <Diamondcite> lucmove: VirtualBox should have some ability to handle the virtual disk image used by VMware.
[05:05] <Jeruvy> lucmove: ya it's strictly vmware, but yes it does happen.  Check http://forums.vmware.com
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> lucmove: yes I get it, it's offtopic here if it's not Ubuntu support. get it?
[05:05] <delinquentme> when im talking LOCAL PORT FORWARDING .. im pretty much clear to pick any port thats not being used for anything else
[05:06] <lucmove> I was told to go ahead and mention my problem...
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> lucmove: well yes as yu gave no detail, so we were unsure of the topic
[05:06] <Jeruvy> lucmove: he's just reminding us to stay on topic.  Please.
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> lucmove: you may (but I doubt) get shelp or pointers in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:07] <ignarps> lucmove, you could convert the file to use in another product like qemu or virtualbox
[05:07] <Jeruvy> that may or may not work..
[05:07] <lucmove> VirtualBox is unusable. Incredibly slow.
[05:07] <bastidrazor> lucmove: when i upgraded from vmware 6 to vmware 7 all my old VM's would not work. i had to back up and reinstall them.
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> lucmove: depends on config
[05:07] <imagine> Should I have to add svn to xinetd, or is adding it to /etc/services enough for an svn server?
[05:07] <izinucs> lucmove: virtualbox will open the old vm I believe
[05:08] <lucmove> izinucs: maybe it will, but nothing happens after 5 minutes
[05:08] <izinucs> ouch
[05:08] <lucmove> it works in another computer, but still slooooooow...
[05:08] <gobbe> lucmove: are you running opensource version or one from www.virtualbox.org?
[05:08] <lucmove> gobbe: one from Adept Manager
[05:09] <ignarps> lucmove, have you tried using kvm ?
[05:09] <lucmove> ignarps: no, never heard of it
[05:09] <ignarps> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/FAQ
[05:09] <ignarps> it has all the information on how to use vmware images with KVM
[05:11] <lucmove> ah, that's qemu. I tried qemu a few months ago, terribly slow too.
[05:11] <ignarps> well qemu can be used with XEN and KVM
[05:12] <ignarps> I run linux and windows vm's with qemu/kvm works very well
[05:12] <Diamondcite> lucmove: We have no idea what you are running this on, so it's somewhat hard to tell why it's slow or what is considered slow.
[05:13] <lucmove> Diamondcite: VMWare runs very well on this same machine. Not slow at all.
[05:13] <lucmove> problem is, it's VMWare Server 1, it's old Ubuntu, I want to upgrade the whole box
[05:13] <ignarps> esxi is free
[05:13] <Diamondcite> What is vmware doing for this speed? Virtualization? 3D acceleration? 2D Acceleation? Multi-Threaded?
[05:13] <lucmove> I will have to kiss VMWare Server 1 bye
[05:14] <lucmove> How am I supposed to know what makes VMW Server faster?!
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> Diamondcite: i heard on multicore, vmware is smoother
[05:15] <ignarps> lucmove, it also depends on your guest os
[05:15] <ignarps> and how you set it up as well
[05:15] <sixstring> Setting up ramdisk didn't seem to help my SQLite3 performance. I'm already wrapping everything in a big transaction. I've even tried some PRAGMA settings that help a lot. But the main bottleneck seems to be on INSERT. Is there an obvious no-no I should avoid?
[05:17] <sixstring> Incidentally, I'm finding it's faster to use "LIKE" queries on big blobs of text than it is to break those blobs down into dependent records in another table.
[05:17] <kaushal> hi
[05:17] <kaushal> please suggest/guide me about --> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/550086/
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/pidgin-data_1%3a2.7.9-1ubuntu0+pidgin1.10.10_all.deb; sudo apt-get -f install
[05:20] <rww> nope.
[05:20] <rww> Remove pidgin-facebookchat package, update pidgin, set up facebook chat using the built-in pidgin support instead of the plugin.
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: can you also log a bug so the duplicated files get sorted, if you used a PPA, please inform the maintainer
[05:20] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[05:20] <kaushal> it worked
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> rww: ^
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: np :)
[05:21] <rww> !wfm
[05:21] <rww> if you have to force it, you're doing it wrong.
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> rww: it's just a duplicated file in both packages, so it just needs forcing so it overwrites the file with the same file
[05:22] <ishipapiter2> I'm trying to get grub2 to chainload grub, but it's giving me an invalid signature error. What is wrong?
[05:22] <FloridaGuy> did sudo apt-get upgrade...lost the plymounth screen...got a ugly  text screen now.....how do i get the plymounth boot screen back??
[05:23] <rww> ActionParsnip: I'm aware of the reason for it. 1) You don't need a plugin to use Facebook with Pidgin any more, and haven't for a while. 2) Accomodating broken packaging is not a good solution.
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> FloridaGuy: search the software centre for the plymouth theme and reinstall it
[05:24] <rww> but hey, it's your computers, not mine. I'll be over here in the corner with my happy package management.
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> FloridaGuy: if you use proprietary drivers, you may need to make it use the fb driver
[05:24] <FloridaGuy> ok
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> rww: it's fine, when the package gets removed it'll remove the file as normal
[05:24] <ishipapiter2> Can anyone help me with grub2?
[05:25] <bullgard4> Exaile 0.3.2.0 has a "Library". What is the pathname of this "Library"?
[05:25] <bullgard4> !grub | ishipapiter2
[05:26] <bullgard4> !grub2 | ishipapiter2
[05:28] <nit-wit> ishipapiter2, whats going on
[05:28] <ishipapiter2> I need help chainloading grub from grub2 without nasty little errors. Like invalid signature. I set up the custom_40 file to load up grub from another partition but it does not want to boot it up.
[05:28] <nit-wit> ishipapiter2, whats the grub-legacy distro
[05:29] <ishipapiter2> backtrack
[05:30] <trism> bullgard4: go to Edit/Collection and you can add and remove directories that exaile searches
[05:30] <nit-wit> ishipapiter2, please use the tab complete in the nick it comes up red like your seeing when  answer you.:)  what was the last install what OS
[05:32] <bullgard4> trism: I know that. But your message does not answer my question.  --  My question related to the file hierarchy on my computer.
[05:35] <izinucs> bullgard4: actually your question related to the library for Exaile and trism's relates to the directory dierarchy.. which in reality relate to each other since you set the directories exaile uses to create the library (virtual)
[05:38] <ishipapiter2> nit-wit, the last install was Ubuntu 10.10
[05:38] <Jordan_U> ishipapiter2: Ubuntu's grub2 should add entries for backtrack automatically.
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: i can imagine ubuntu isn't too interested in what backtrack do or how their OS interacts
[05:40] <nit-wit> ishipapiter2, whats the desktop Ubuntu, is the os-prober installed it is supposed to be but it seems to be missing at times especially in Lubuntu.
[05:40] <ishipapiter2> nit-wit, I have backtrack installed in an encrypted partition, grub is not automatically seeing it. That is why im trying to chainload a separate grub already set to work to decrypt the partition.
[05:41] <Jordan_U> ishipapiter2: If you're getting an error about an invalid signature then the partition you're chainloading does not contain grub (or any other bootloader).
[05:41] <nit-wit> ishipapiter2, I know a bit about this but not a encrypted partition and chainloading sorry.
[05:42] <ishipapiter2> nit-wit, thanks for your help tho
[05:43] <Jordan_U> ishipapiter2: Can run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?
[05:43] <nit-wit> ishipapiter2, no problem.:)
[05:44] <nit-wit> ishipapiter2, I would llok at Jordan_U's request for sure
[05:44] <nit-wit> *look
[05:44] <ishipapiter2> Jordan_U, I've tried chainloading 2 different partitions with grub files in both of them.
[05:44] <birdman007> If I a vm on a second HDD will it run faster then having it on the same hard drive as the os
[05:44] <Jordan_U> ishipapiter2: Where grub stores its files and where grub stores its boot sector can be completely different.
[05:44] <Jordan_U> ishipapiter2: Sometimes even on different drives.
[05:45] <sacarlson> ishipapiter2: you can add or edit a 40_custom with something like menuentry "Grub 1 Bootloader" {; set root=(hd0,8); chainloader +1;} change ; to carige returns.  as noted in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> birdman007: i'd imagine very slightly
[05:45] <{C}ronos> didnt there used to be 3d windows in compiz?
[05:45] <{C}ronos> compizconfig
[05:46] <Jordan_U> !ccsm | {C}ronos
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> {C}ronos: make sure you have the extra plugins installed
[05:46] <{C}ronos> I just thought it used to be by default
[05:46] <ishipapiter2> Jordan_U, Yes I think i may have overwritten the original boot sector.
[05:46] <Jordan_U> {C}ronos: It was never by default in Ubuntu.
[05:47] <{C}ronos> im saying when you installed compizconfig-settings-manager the plugin was already thee

[05:53] <leomast247> im quite new
[05:53] <Dribble> leomast: does it come up when you go under hardware drivers?
[05:53] <AndrewKeenan__> is it NVidia or ATI?
[05:53] <leomast247> how do i go under hardware drivers?
[05:54] <leomast247> Radeon
[05:54] <leomast247> ATI
[05:54] <Gnea> !ati
[05:54] <Dribble> go to system > administration > hardware drives
[05:54] <leomast247> i dont see anything there that says hardware drivers
[05:54] <bucky> Additional Drivers
[05:54] <leomast247> i see additional drivers
[05:54] <steiner> what is the cause of the monitor to randomly go black?
[05:55] <Dribble> steiner are you using nvidia
[05:55] <steiner> not ati radeon x1300
[05:55] <leomast247> ok im at additional drivers
[05:55] <lolcat> steiner: My name is Steinar xD
[05:55] <steiner> lolcat: nice
[05:56] <leomast247> Dribble: I am at additional drivers now
[05:56] <steiner> Dribble: its an ati radeon x1300
[05:57] <Dribble> your using ubuntu?
[05:57] <Dribble> lemo
[05:57] <leomast247> yes
[05:57] <robertzaccour> is ubuntu 64 bit faster than xubuntu 64 bit or slower?
[05:57] <Dribble> steiner: i have the same problem but using nvidia but think the two are related
[05:57] <cschneid> what's the command line tool to add a user to a group?  addgroup creates the group, but I just want to change membership
[05:57] <Dribble> it has to do with the new kernal they came out with its not compatible with propriety dirvers
[05:58] <axp2> chgrp?
[05:58] <gobbe> robertzaccour: it's same os
[05:58] <leomast247> Dribble: yes i have ubuntu
[05:58] <Dribble> ok
[05:58] <steiner> Dribble: have you found anything about? also my computer randomly freezes
[05:58] <gobbe> robertzaccour: only difference is that first is running gnome as UI, and second is running xfce
[05:58] <soreau> leomast247: The drivers for your card are already installed by default
[05:58] <necroforest> robertzaccour, xubuntu might be "faster" from a UI standpoint since it uses a lighterweight UI, but it's probably not noticable. as far as running applications, they would be the same
[05:58] <robertzaccour> gobbe, i know, just different DE boot screen and default applications
[05:58] <cschneid> axp2: nah, want to add a user to an existing group
[05:58] <soreau> leomast247: The proprietary driver does not support your card
[05:58] <cschneid> chgrp is for changing the files :)
[05:58] <robertzaccour> gobbe, my question is about the speed of each
[05:59] <axp2> try useradd -G
[05:59] <leomast247> soreau: u must remember i am new to all this and i do believe some people have to install drivers for their card
[05:59] <cschneid> usermod perhaps
[05:59] <samitdutta> hallo
[05:59] <cschneid> axp2: yeah, existing user :)  google helped out
[05:59] <samitdutta> i need a help regarding my sony camcorder
[05:59] <gobbe> robertzaccour: speed is same, if you mean response time i would say that almost same
[05:59] <gobbe> robertzaccour: xfce is not anymore so light that it used to be
[05:59] <Dribble> somthing like memory leaks that end up freezing up the cpu hold on a sec
[06:00] <samitdutta> i need help regarding installation of sony handycam in ubuntu

[06:01] <robertzaccour> gobbe, so no incentive to use xfce anymore?

[06:03] <gobbe> robertzaccour: it
[06:03] <Dribble> that should at least be a start as far as I know there hasn't been a fix for it yet I wish I could roll back the updates before they started using thease novue drivers
[06:03] <gobbe> robertzaccour: it's more user preference than performance, i would say that if you are running on 64bit machine you wont see difference
[06:03] <soreau> leomast247: Install mesa-utils and show the output of glxinfo
[06:04] <soreau> leomast247: Install mesa-utils and show the output of glxinfo|grep renderer

[06:04] <leomast247> soreau: how do i do all that
[06:04] <danblick> right now, rolling the mouse wheel just scrolls the command history.
[06:04] <icesword> hi
[06:05] <tiox> Hai
[06:05] <soreau> leomast247: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils && glxinfo|grep renderer  <-- then paste the very last line of output here
[06:05] <icesword> hai
[06:05] <leomast247> where is the last line of output?
[06:06] <tiox> I popped in here to ask about Nautilus and Tracker. Been on the brainstorm since 2009, and I am interested about Tracker integration with Nautilus.
[06:06] <xim_> if compiz got disabled, is there a way to re-enable it through compiz-config-settings-manager instead of turning visual effects back on in prefrences > appearance which resets all your ccsm settings?
[06:07] <leomast247> soreau: last line of output as in what?
[06:07] <tiox> xim_: Try adding compiz to startup. For some odd reason or another compiz got disabled on my machine, and thanks for bringing up configuration with CCSM, maybe it was disabled there.
[06:07] <soreau> leomast247: That is the complete command. Run it in your terminal and grab the last line
[06:07] <leomast247> kk
[06:08] <leomast247> soreau: at the end it says    OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RS400 5955) 20090101 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 NO-TCL DRI2
[06:09] <leomast247> after i ran that command and typed in password
[06:09] <bullgard4> izinucs, trism: I made a mistake. I used a wrong English term. The proper English term is "Collection". --  So I'd better ask: "Exaile 0.3.2.0 has a "Collection" tab. What is the pathname of this "Collection" tab?
[06:09] <tiox> xim_: Also, try backing up your settings in CCSM before you trudge on trying to re-enable compiz by changing the desktop effects settings.
[06:09] <Dribble> I want more directorys to show up in my places menu how to?
[06:09] <soreau> leomast247: That means your drivers are working correctly. Is there some problem you are having?
[06:10] <tiox> Dribble: Favorite them?
[06:10] <steiner> soreau: i never got to tell you but i ended up upgrading to 10.10 and my graphics work good

[06:14] <Dribble> thanks
[06:14] <Myrtti> a1: can we help you somehow?
[06:14] <samitdutta> sacarlson can i chat in pvt with u?
[06:14] <cschneid> where is the "right" place to put config files that don't belong in /etc.  Specifically chef files.  I suppose they could go in /etc....
[06:14] <sacarlson> samitdutta: ok
[06:15] <cschneid> but /var/.... seems better
[06:15] <leomast247> kk
[06:16] <soreau> leomast247: If everything goes ok, glxinfo|grep renderer should report Gallium
[06:16] <Dribble> so I always here about how linux is so great because you can freely modify it and change how it operates but I haven't been able to figure this out, I use bash and whatnot but this doesn't make changes to the system where do I start?
[06:16] <danblick> cschneid: /etc seems like the right place for configuration files; i'm thinking of the debian policies which say files in /etc will not be modified by package upgrades
[06:17] <soreau> Dribble: What do you want to change exactly?
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Dribble: what do you want to achieve?
[06:17] <cschneid> danblick: yeah, I'll just put them there.  Just feels like.... dunno - they're the generators that MAKE the /etc files.
[06:17] <Dribble> the behavior
[06:17] <soreau> Dribble: What behavior?
[06:17] <Dribble> idk really just play with it in a safe enviorment
[06:17] <cschneid> but meh, I was just wondering if I missed something obvious
[06:17] <Dribble> i mean what can I change really
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Dribble: i'd establish what you want to change first
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Dribble: anything really
[06:18] <cschneid> Dribble: most of it is defining what you want to do with your computer
[06:18] <soreau> Dribble: You need to be more specific about what you want to do
[06:18] <Sasquatch1> I'm using 10.10 and would like to install the b43 wireless drivers. I've followed the instructions to install b43-fwcutter but I do not have the option to select the driver in the 'additional drivers' menu. Anyone have experience with this?
[06:18] <flDoug> Dribble: Anything, dependant on your commitment to changing a particular aspect.
[06:18] <Dribble> I want to make a 3d desktop
[06:18] <cschneid> web surfing is a very different task than web development which is a very different task from C coding.
[06:18] <danblick> cschneid: i see your point.  fwiw, in the puppet world, that sort of file goes in /etc/puppet
[06:18] <cschneid> by tweaking and changing, you can focus on exactly what you want
[06:18] <cschneid> danblick: cool. That works. I love when somebody else makes decisions for me like that :)
[06:18] <Dribble> or rather move in 3d on my desktop
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> Dribble: install compiz and get 3D accelleration running on your video card
[06:18] <Dribble> to view files
[06:18] <cschneid>  /etc/chef/{configs} and /etc/chef/cookbooks/{the rules}
[06:19] <Dribble> i do but it doesn't do what I want
[06:19] <Dribble> can i use it to maybe do that
[06:19] <soreau> Dribble: Enable desktop effects in sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects. Optionally install ccsm and simple-ccsm to customize compiz further
[06:19] <Jordan_U> Dribble: That is something you would need to code yourself (or pay someone else to code).
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Dribble: compiz gives a 3D desktop, you just need 3D accelleration. There are videos online to show what it can do :)
[06:20] <Dribble> i think it would be a very large undertaking for one person
[06:20] <Jordan_U> Dribble: It would be.
[06:20] <soreau> Jordan_U: ccsm makes them feel enough like a programmer ;)
[06:21] <cschneid> ActionParsnip: dunno - jurassic park style 3d would be mostly useless, but just a few weekends worth of hack for somebody familiar w/ graphics I'd imagine?
[06:21] <tiox> Dribble: Stop drooling and get to work. :P
[06:21] <cschneid> making it useful is another year or 3
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> if 3DNA came to Ubuntu it'd be fun :)
[06:21] <Dribble> lol
[06:21] <cainiao2hao> o
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> cschneid: whats jurrassic park style?
[06:21] <Dribble> yeah to make it worth a damn
[06:21] <tiox> And oh, once you do have compiz working, there is also a neat plugin script on gnome-look.org to install addition plugins from a git repo.
[06:22] <cschneid> ActionParsnip: ohh, they had some silly 3d gui. and the little girl was like "Ohh, this is unix. I know this!"
[06:22] <cschneid> then, I think they were eaten or something
[06:22] <Dribble> but I think i would be happy if I could get it to work on a very simple level at first then let other build on it
[06:22] <arch> please help me to hacking with ubuntu... :(
[06:22] <sve> how do i change my screen resolution in linux? I installed the ATI drivers for my screen card but I am not getting the best resolution like i got on Windows 7
[06:22] <tiox> arch: You don't hack ubuntu. You compile things from source, and make changes to it. :P
[06:23] <OxKing> Qestion: is there any way to show which file is actual copied by nautilus? Started a 280GB job, want to terminate that but want to be sure what are the last files copied.

[06:23] <soreau> glitchd: Not if you dont ask
[06:24] <eyesuck> hello, i have installed 10.10 (although it says 11.04 in about) and am wondering why ubuntu moved the close/minimize/restore window decorators to the left of all windows now, instead of the old and pc traditional right? Is there a way to move them to the right as Id much prefer that...
[06:24] <arch> owh..,how about hack someone pc ? anyone know?
[06:24] <sve> bucky: i dont have it in my menu, what is the package I need to install ?

[06:24] <bucky> sve you don't have the gnome desktop? are you running ubuntu?
[06:24] <soreau> sve: sys>prefs>monitors* or xrandr
[06:25] <maco> glitchd: saw that earlier today. those arent ubuntu packages. tell whomever made the packages you're using that they did it wrong
[06:25] <sve> bucky: i am running gnome.. soreau i go to sys/prefs/monitors but it doesnt give me the max display my card or screen supports
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> bucky: you can run ubuntu with a different DE if you like
[06:25] <Dribble> so is there any documentation for linux customization>
[06:25] <arch> thats not allowed here or nothing anyone know? hehe
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> !theme | Dribble
[06:25] <maco> arch: not allowed
[06:25] <soreau> sve: Ok, we will have to use xrandr. Pastebin the output of xrandr from your terminal to ubuntu.pastebin.com
[06:25] <Flannel> glitchd: Don't use debs that weren't designed for your system.  Right now you have two debs that don't work together.  It's likely that one of them is poorly packaged, and the other one is fine.
[06:26] <Jordan_U> Dribble: You're asking questions that are far to broad to be answered specifically.
[06:26] <ZykoticK9> I'm trying to install 10.04 from a Minimal cd onto an EEE 1005PE, unfortunatly the ethernet card is detected.  The wired and wireless work from a 10.04 LiveCD and the ethernet appears to be using the atl1c driver.  But from console in Minimal "modprobe atl1c" returns "atl1c not found" so I'm assuming the driver is not included on the minimal cd?  Do I have any options for loading a driver?  The steps for manually installing the driver appear to be docu
[06:26] <ZykoticK9> mented on this forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1197614 but rely on having "make" and other such build tools that aren't available on the minimal cd.  Does the alternatecd (untesting if it has working network) have an install option for a "minimal" type environment or does it install ubuntu-desktop?
[06:26] <Dribble> no i mean behavioral
[06:26] <sve> soreau: ok, just installing xandr now
[06:26] <glitchd> maco, Flannel, do u have any clue how to fix  the error?
[06:26] <soreau> glitchd: <rww> Remove pidgin-facebookchat package, update pidgin, set up facebook chat using the built-in pidgin support instead of the plugin.
[06:26] <maco> glitchd: use packages that arent broken
[06:26] <arch> you know about command in terminal bro?
[06:26] <maco> glitchd: such as: the official ubuntu packages from packages.ubuntu.com
[06:26] <bucky> sve you prolly need to install the third party drivers for your graphics card, Administration -> Additional Drivers
[06:26] <soreau> sve: No, xrandr
[06:27] <glitchd> soreau, maco thx ill give it a try
[06:27] <OxKing> Is there any logfile of what files copied by nautilus in an active copy job?
[06:27] <maco> Flannel: its 2.7.9 which is whats in natty. someone tried to backport it to lucid and screwed up then distributed their broken debs
[06:27] <Flannel> ZykoticK9: Save yourself the trouble, get an alternate CD.  That way you can have a real system set up before having to debug networking and such.
[06:27] <sve> bucky: i already did that
[06:27] <sve> soreau: ahh ok my spelling
[06:27] <Flannel> ZykoticK9: Oh, you asked that.
[06:27] <soreau> sve: Yes
[06:27] <ZykoticK9> Flannel, are there any choices from the altcd or just ubuntu desktop?
[06:27] <Flannel> ZykoticK9: Yeah, the alternate CD is the minimal CD plus packages.
[06:28] <ZykoticK9> Flannel, thanks :)
[06:28] <Flannel> ZykoticK9: Or to be more correct, the minimal CD is the alternateCD without packages.  Both give you the opportunity to do all sorts of non-standard things
[06:28] <sve> soreau: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/550098/
[06:28] <ZykoticK9> Flannel, i've fallen in love with minimal installs, but 10.04 is presenting an issue on this EEE (the 10.10 minimal works fine BTW)
[06:29] <flDoug> I have a problem with gconf2. It appears that it's post-installation configure script is failing. Other applications are returning installation errors because gconf2 is a dependency. Could someone please help me?
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: according to: dpkg -S atl1c   it's just in the linux-image-<version>-generic package
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: I'd log a bug
[06:29] <soreau> sve: It shows you have two screens both at 1280x768. What do you want them to be?
[06:29] <flowbee> hi folks;  i was trying to speed up my laptop so i ran bum and probably disabled some stuff i need.  now when i boot into ubuntu 10.04; i can log in normally but i just see a white terminal at top left with no other UI.  what should i do now?
[06:29] <sve> the bigger resolution one is my lCD connected to my laptop
[06:30] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, i don't think the minimal (especially without network) could even install from apt - i doubt it even has a repo installed - it just drops me to busybox as root.
[06:30] <sve> I want to see what it looks like when running at max resolutin
[06:30] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, ya no apt-get
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: after the install has finished?
[06:30] <OxKing> :(
[06:30] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, can't install minimal without network - catch22 situation
[06:31] <soreau> sve: Try amdcccle
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: you could be super sneaky and see if you can find the driver file and shove it in the right folder
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: or you can use ndiswrapper and use the windows driver for it
[06:31] <flDoug> Flowbee: you're in  a GNOME Failsafe session. Try changing your session at the bottom of the login screen.
[06:31] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, driver is avaliable as sourcecode - no build tools at this point.
[06:31] <sve> 2342
[06:31] <sve> amdcccle already running!
[06:31] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, this is just the ethernet - i'm not even trying wireless
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: could add the alternate daily Lucid CD and use it to update ;)
[06:32] <omrico1> I have an EC2 server running on AWS, small instance ubuntu 10.04 TLS (lucid).
[06:32] <omrico1> I installed Apache Web server, initially on port 80. When trying to remotely access the server through a web browser it went well. After that I changed the apache server port to 8040, and I opened the port in the AWS security groups.. trying to connect it also succeeded.
[06:32] <omrico1> Now, after those two trials, I tried to run sort of a web service also on port 8040 (after closing the apache server of course). The web service is the web ui of the heritrix crawler. Now, when trying to connect to the service localy (i tried "telnet localhost 8040") I am able to connect to the service. Now when I try to remotely connect I am failing no matter what I do.. I try to remotely...
[06:32] <omrico1> ...connect from a web browser by doing: http://my.amazon.address:8040
[06:32] <flowbee> flDoug, i dont see the option for that at the bottom of login screen
[06:32] <omrico1> I really tried almost every thing, I tried to add exceptions to the iptables, even cancel the iptables all together. I opened the ports for all IPs in the AWS dashboard.. but still nothing. And again just to emphasize, local connection go well, also remote connections to apache web server went well to the same port... What the hell am I missing?!
[06:32] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, i'm downloading alternate as we speak - not the daily mind you.  10.10 minimal works fine, just a lucid issue really.
[06:32] <soreau> sve: In amdcccle, see if you can change the displays resolution
[06:33] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, Flannel thanks for the input guys!
[06:33] <glitchd> soreau, maco it wont let me remove the packages since it says i have a broken package, but when i try to repair the broken package, it just gives me another error
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: I'd grab the daily and use it as a repo. It will give you a source to nearly full upgrade and may help
[06:33] <newbie2011> i can't get 3d acceleration to work with a Radeon IGP 320m. i am using the open Radeon driver and had driconf make a default .drirc. I can't get any 3d screensavers or glxgears to work. it only comes as a black window, but it isn't throwing any errors.  any ideas? do i need to use the closed drivers?
[06:33] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, I'm amazed they even have dailys for lucid
[06:34] <Flannel> omrico1: Is the 8040 connection connecting directly to the heritrix crawler? or is it through apache?
[06:35] <maco> glitchd: try grabbing the one from packages.ubuntu.com, then dpkg -i --force-downgrade on that deb
[06:35] <flDoug> flowbee: Hm... I don't know then. It should be there, though, labelled as "session"..
[06:35] <sve> soreau: it shows the max resolution in the display properties i can change it to for my lcd is 1280x768
[06:35] <flowbee> flDoug, its not :(
[06:36] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, found the alternate daily ubuntu install - cool thanks.
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: hope it flys
[06:36] <soreau> sve: In xrandr, it shows the max as 1680 x 1680 but your card can do at least 2048 if not 4096 or higher. You might need to set a Virtual line in xorg.conf to increase the max size
[06:36] <omrico1> what happens is that the heritrix runs a jetix module on the port I specified
[06:37] <omrico1> I then connect to the jetix on the port 8040...
[06:37] <sve> soreau: ok thanks, let me look into that
[06:37] <flowbee> ubuntu 10.04 login screen doesnt show any session options... then when i login i get a gnome failsafe session.  i did mess with bum to speed up my laptop recently.  this if the first time i restarted it.  ideas on how to fix?
[06:37] <Flannel> omrico1: Sounds like the heritrix/jetix server is binding itself to a local address
[06:37] <cowslammer> my laptop executes an immediate shutdown when i unplug it.  i've checked the appropriate settings for power management.  is this an indicator the batteries have died?
[06:37] <omrico1> Flannel: isn't it bind itself to a port?
[06:38] <soreau> sve: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[06:38] <omrico1> Flannel: is it possible to bind yourself to an address?
[06:38] <Flannel> omrico1: It picks a port, but many programs also allow you to pick an IP (or range) that it'll talk to.  People use it to make MySQL only talk to localhost, etc.
[06:39] <Anchor> cowslammmer: Probably.
[06:39] <Flannel> omrico1: I have no idea what heritrix or jetix are, so I can't help you track it down in that regard, but I
[06:39] <Flannel> omrico1: I have no idea what heritrix or jetix are, so I can't help you track it down in that regard, but I'd look through your configuration for that and see if it's binding itself to something local
[06:39] <sve> soreau: i just need to duck out for about two hours will continue with the trouble shooting when i get back. thanks for your help
[06:40] <omrico1> Flannel: Ok, I will try that.. by the way, jetty is another jsp server (like apache for php).. thanks for your help..
[06:40] <flDoug> flowbee: you can always re-run bum and undo some of what you  did.
[06:40] <UBUxUBU> good morning technicians
[06:40] <flowbee> flDoug, is there a way to revert to the original bum settings?
[06:41] <flDoug> flowbee: I, unfortunately, am not familiar with the bum program. I had to google it when you mentioned it.
[06:41] <omrico1> Flannel: Do you have any idea how do I check whether a running program is binded to a specifc address?
[06:42] <Flannel> omrico1: I suggest checking the config files
[06:43] <omrico1> Flannel: There is nothing there.. moreover, they say in their site that the whole purpose of the web interface is to allow remote access..
[06:43] <rww> omrico1: "sudo netstat -lnp --inet" would show all listening ports, the addresses they're binded with, and the program involved. You could look through the output of that for your program.
[06:44] <omrico1> rww: many thanks I will try that too..
[06:45] <flDoug> flowbee: do you remember what programs you disabled through bum?
[06:46] <r00t4rd3d> omrico1, or you can act like a hacker , sudo apt-get install nmap  , then sudo nmap -A -PN 127.0.0.1
[06:46] <r00t4rd3d> :D
[06:46] <flowbee> flDoug, no :(
[06:46] <rww> r00t4rd3d: does nmap show which interface/address a program is bound to?
[06:46] <omrico1> r00trd3d: what exactly will it do?
[06:46] <r00t4rd3d> interface no , port and service yes
[06:47] <r00t4rd3d> omrico1, nmap is a port scanner
[06:47] <taran> I cant Ping using Network Tolls but can ping from CLI.What to do?
[06:48] <r00t4rd3d> omrico1, you never watch the movie Matrix ?
[06:48] <omrico1> r00t4rd3d: I can see that the program I run does open port 8040, I can even telnet it locally ("telnet localhost 8040")..
[06:49] <flowbee> flDoug, in /var/log/syslog i see: error: autolaunch error: x11 initialization failed
[06:50] <omrico1> and I did watched Matrix, actually all the trilogy.. I wish I had neo by my side now..
[06:51] <chris_openbsd> omrico1: neo is an actor
[06:51] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[06:51] <chris_openbsd> :-)
[06:52] <chris_openbsd> his real name is not mr. anderson
[06:52] <omrico1> I still wish I had him, the way he type his keyboard...
[06:52] <ubuntu-newb> how do I ssh into ubuntu?
[06:53] <chris_openbsd> ssh user@ip-addr
[06:53] <ubuntu-newb> chris_openbsd, thanks :)
[06:53] <chris_openbsd> ubuntu-newb: your welcome
[06:54] <flDoug> ubuntu-newb: how I got ubuntu to let me ssh in: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[06:54] <sacarlson> omrico1: is that the only port you can't connect to from wan to this system?  how about ssh?  does that work?
[06:55] <flDoug> flowbee: I'm really sorry but I don't think I can help you out.
[06:55] <rollman> i think flight gear crashed and burned well it did crash anyways
[06:55] <gschwepp> flDoug: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH
[06:56] <sacarlson> omrico1: can you ping the address from outside and see it from inside with wireshark?  does your ip you are using match when compared to whatismyip.com?
[06:56] <omrico1> this is what i get when netstat:
[06:56] <omrico1> tcp6       0      0 127.0.0.1:8040          :::*                    LISTEN      752/java
[06:56] <ubuntu-newb> hmm how do I know which domain I am on?
[06:56] <omrico1> maybe this is the reason?
[06:57] <gschwepp> ubuntu-newb: in your home network? for an ssh server? to connect from outside?
[06:57] <BK87> ...locked my self out of sshd fuckk!
[06:57] <BK87> =(
[06:58] <flDoug> gschwepp: Huh. That's strange. I had to actually install it. I was pretty mad that ubuntu didn't have it by default.
[06:58] <ubuntu-newb> gschwepp, well home network
[06:58] <lahwran> ttf can't do bitmap, period, correct?
[06:58] <ubuntu-newb> gschwepp, my machine downstairs is ubuntu and I am installing ubuntu on my laptop but I cant see the other machine
[06:59] <gschwepp> flDoug: not everyone does need an ssh server on his ubuntu machine and you can get it fast. Dont think there is a need for it to set it default.
[06:59] <omrico1> sacarlson: I don't know how to do what you say.. I am working on an Amazon EC2 server...
[06:59] <Flannel> flDoug: The majority of users don't need a ssh server, and it's not really polite to have something that potentially dangerous just sitting there on everyone's machine
[06:59] <gschwepp> ubuntu-newb: can you ping your downstairs machine? in this case your "domain" is your up i think.
[07:00] <omrico1> Flannel: I ran the netstat, this is what I get,
[07:00] <omrico1> tcp6       0      0 127.0.0.1:8040          :::*                    LISTEN      752/java
[07:00] <omrico1> Flannel: maybe this is the reason
[07:00] <ubuntu-newb> gschwepp, ok I can ping the ip not the machine name
[07:01] <Flannel> omrico1: Yeah, that's bound to localhost
[07:01] <gschwepp> ubuntu-newb: check network setup. did you even share folder?
[07:01] <omrico1> Flannel: So you say I must change it within my program...
[07:01] <Flannel> omrico1: That'd be the place to do so, yes.
[07:01] <ubuntu-newb> gschwepp, well thats the issue I can connect no problem via putty on windows via ssh and I can also go through my network places but I am slowly learning
[07:02] <omrico1> Flannel: thanks, I'll see how exactly I do that...
[07:02] <Flannel> omrico1: I suppose if it's not in the config file already, consult the documentation for its configuration
[07:02] <sacarlson> omrico1: so that machine only listens on tcp6?  no entry like tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:2001            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
[07:02] <ubuntu-newb> gschwepp, I am pretty sure that I dont have ssh at port 22 (which is part of my issue I think)
[07:02] <omrico1> Flannel: right, I will check it out... Thanks...
[07:02] <flDoug> Flannel: Ahh, yeah, true enough. I'm running a network behind a NAT firewall so I'm used to having all my computers pretty insecure within the LAN.
[07:03] <omrico1> sacarlson: what does it mean tcp 6?
[07:03] <gschwepp> ubuntu-newb: install it google something like "set up homenetwork ubuntu" what ever :)
[07:03] <r00t4rd3d> omrico1, you use blackice firewall ?
[07:03] <ubuntu-newb> gschwepp, right :)
[07:03] <omrico1> r00t4rd4d: on which machine? actually I believe on none of them...
[07:04] <ubuntu-newb> gschwepp, ok found the network (its a windows share lol)
[07:04] <gschwepp> flDoug: :) switch wlan off ;)

[07:06] <Ileden> Hi! Is there a way to dig up the bluetooth key for a paired device in Win7. I'm have paired a device in win7, and would like to use the same pairing on a dualboot linux. This thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479056 pointed me to SYSTEM\ControlSet002\services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys\mydevicemac but while that registry key does exist, it had no subkeys. Any ideas where else the bluetooth pairing key could be hidden?
[07:06] <Ileden> augh. wrong channel, sorry.
[07:06] <sacarlson> omrico1: my ISP provider only provides me a ipv4 connection if the only thing that listens is ipv6 to access it I would need an ipv4 to ipv6 tunnel http://tunnelbroker.net/?gclid=CKqdvZj-n6YCFQd66wod1S35Lg
[07:06] <omrico1> sacarlson: what does it mean when it show tcp 6? that it only works with IPv6 or it is not related?

[07:09] <Ileden> My WLAN is acting up pretty weird. It works fine on Win7, but on dualboot Ubuntu, it has trouble connecting and has up to 40% packet loss or may disconnect randomly. However, changing WLAN channel from the router seems to fix the issue for a while (few hours). It always comes back, whichever channel I switch to. The network is otherwise just fine. Also, the WLAN works fine with both Win7 and linux when using another network (at work). Any ideas how to debug?

[07:12] <sacarlson> omrico1: you can test to see if your isp provider give you tcp6 access by testing with this site: http://ipv6-test.com/
[07:12] <Ileden> psycho_oreos: ok, how to I enable the verbose mode, and what messages I should be looking for with dmesg?
[07:13] <gschwepp> Ileden: what says iwconfig?
[07:14] <omrico1> sacarlson: I failed the IPv6 test, does it mean I will not be able to connect to the service since it is on tcp 6?
[07:14] <psycho_oreos> Ileden, you will need to reload the module/driver specifying any verbose that maybe available for it via modinfo. You will need to do it as super user for both unloading and loading of module/driver. As for dmesg look for ath5k related lines, it could be ani

[07:15] <AL32> Ok, so last time i tried to update ubuntu 10.10 after the reboot Grub didn't load
[07:15] <Jordan_U> AL32: What did happen when you tried to boot?
[07:15] <inSanity_> morning
[07:16] <sacarlson> omrico1: well yes if it's true that it only listens on ipv6,  that would be the case,  but are you sure that it isn't listening on ipv4?  you can look at the dig of the address to see if it returns an A  or AAA
[07:16] <AL32> and i had to reinstall ubuntu again
[07:16] <UBUxUBU> is it a dual booter al32
[07:16] <AL32> yeah
[07:16] <AL32> its dual boot
[07:16] <UBUxUBU> use the cd to repair grub
[07:16] <gschwepp> Ileden: why not :) pastbin it
[07:16] <inSanity_> :)
[07:16] <omrico1> sacarlson: thanks a lot for your help.. I don't know what "dig of the address" means
[07:16] <AL32> so i update reboot and if same error occurs i fix it with the cd?
[07:17] <UBUxUBU> did u put buntu 1st or 2nd al32
[07:17] <AL32> its 2nd
[07:17] <UBUxUBU> use the livecd to reinstall grub
[07:17] <Ileden> psycho_oreos: reloading kernel module specifying verbose mode. ok, I'll google how that's done. I won't be at the malfunctioning network until much later today, though, so can't get to debugging immediately.

[07:20] <AL32>  i believe its wubi, i'm able to uninstall ubuntu from windows
[07:20] <Jordan_U> AL32: Do you have more than one ntfs partition?
[07:20] <gschwepp> AL32: format the partition/disc where ubuntu is installed.
[07:20] <UBUxUBU> well if its wubi is extremely easy to uninstall and reinstall if the other options fail and if u have backed up files
[07:21] <AL32> Jordan: i have 2 partions, win7 one, ubuntu another
[07:21] <AL32> thanks for support!
[07:21] <UBUxUBU> al32 i am on a wubi laptop now hehe
[07:23] <Jordan_U> AL32: To be clear, is the second partition an ntfs partition where you have installed Ubuntu via wubi? If so, upgrades will fail as wubi can't currently handle that properly.

[07:43] <flowbee> no more error mesages
[07:43] <flowbee> gschwepp, i think its also cuz i replaced the xorg file with an 'auto configured' one... and that it doesnt have the right driver enabled
[07:44] <gschwepp> so go to your x11 config go to your device and write your driver in it:)
[07:44] <flowbee> gschwepp, how do i find out the driver name that it is

[07:56] <flowbee> loxs, but wouldnt gdm succed if xorg only runs into warnings?
[07:56] <omrico1> what does the :::8089 means?
[07:56] <flowbee> r00t4rd3d, what will that do?
[07:56] <r00t4rd3d> reinstall gnome
[07:56] <loxs> flowbee, I don't know, that's just what I'd do in such a case :)
[07:57] <r00t4rd3d> try installing the font
[07:57] <loxs> ubuntu-newb, it doesn't matter. Just have in mind that you can only have 4 primary partitions

[07:58] <loxs> gsp2009, other than the fact that it's not free (if you care) not really
[07:59] <omrico1> sacarlson: the process looks as follows, do you have any idea if now it should be ok?
[07:59] <omrico1> tcp6       0      0 :::8089                 :::*                    LISTEN      19019/java
[07:59] <omrico1> r00t4rd4d: do you maybe have any idea? what the line from my netstat mean?
[07:59] <gsp2009> loxs: so no better performance or more configurable ?
[07:59] <flowbee> r00t4rd3d, did that still running into x11 init message
[08:00] <sacarlson> omrico1: I still see tcp6 at start,  there are websites that will do the tunnel for you if your not sure
[08:00] <loxs> gsp2009, the proprietary driver sure has much better performance and also a program that can configure displays etc. So it really is technologically much better
[08:00] <omrico1> sacarlson: yes I know.. but I don't believe that this is the issue..
[08:00] <gsp2009> loxs ok cool.. thanks for the info.
[08:01] <flowbee> loxs, ok that worked
[08:01] <r00t4rd3d> flowbee, did you stop gnome before you did that ?
[08:01] <omrico1> sacarlson: maybe it has something to do with the iptables?
[08:02] <flowbee> r00t4rd3d, yes i think so
[08:02] <flowbee> anyways now it working
[08:02] <r00t4rd3d> the error stopped ?

IF i allow ubuntu to make one partition during install.... everything works...but i am left with only one partiton and a swap  and one extended both of 11 gigs
[08:14] <bazhang> UBUxUBU, who are you addressing

[08:19] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: So what configuration do you want?
[08:19] <UBUxUBU> there is a moment where a little box is checked for grub maybe that was missed cryptodira
[08:19] <cryptodira> UBUxUBU:  nope,, caught that box.

[08:22] <ubuntu-newb> rww, ok thanks for the info :)
[08:22] <Jordan_U> ubuntu-newb: A separate small /boot/ near the beginning of the drive can be required with buggy BIOSs.
[08:22] <ubuntu-newb> Jordan_U, ahh that makes a bit more sense
[08:23] <cryptodira> Jordan_U: i would be accept: /boot   /  /home  swap  /usrlocal
[08:23] <nkh> ...
[08:23] <nkh> seems no budy have time ...
[08:23] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: Why do you want a separate /boot?
[08:23] <bazhang> nkh, why would you possibly want to compile your own kernel
[08:24] <nkh> bazhang: you mean why did i compiled it ?! :-
[08:24] <nkh> :-/
[08:24] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: Did you know that Ubuntu has an option to re-install Ubuntu without overwriting /home and local directories (like /usr/local) even if they're all on the same partition?
[08:24] <frewsxcv> hello ubuntu!
[08:24] <bazhang> nkh, the additional drivers support the regular ubuntu kernel; no idea why you would want to compile your own
[08:24] <cryptodira> Jordan_U:  have no idea... thought maybe that was why the install was failing.... this is on an toshiba satellite amd64 chipset.
[08:25] <psylentlee> hey i got a noob ?
[08:25] <nkh> bazhang: i compiled this just to learn how to config a kernel ...
[08:25] <bazhang> psylentlee, pardon?
[08:25] <psylentlee> i'm about to dual boot my laptop... with ubuntu after a couple failed attempts with linux_mint...
[08:25] <rww> bazhang: ? is shorthand for "question", I guess >.>
[08:25] <UBUxUBU> i think there is confusion, i think cryptodira want ubuntu (boot and all) on a partition and a separate partition for files...like we all do. so the 1st choice is   primary and mount point is  /
[08:25] <psylentlee> but am i gonna run into the broadcom wireless driver issue?
[08:25] <nkh> bazhang: we are going to compile one for an ARM ... so i decided to compile one for my own ubuntu first ! :D
[08:26] <psylentlee> if so how can i circumvent that... bazhang
[08:26] <cryptodira> Jordan_U: that would be nice... with every thing on a single at the moment.... would i be able to separate those  directories out?
[08:26] <nkh> bazhang: i also wanted to try the Galbraith patch ...
[08:26] <rww> psylentlee: what's the model number of your Broadcom card?
[08:26] <bazhang> nkh, well that would be why you have driver trouble; compiling your own kernel
[08:26] <psylentlee> i think it'
[08:26] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: You currently have a working system with everything on a single partition. What advantage do you think you will gain from separating things into separate partitions?
[08:26] <psylentlee> s a 43 series...\
[08:26] <psylentlee> lemme double check brb
[08:26] <cryptodira> UBUxUBBU: correct... primary /  the rest to follow
[08:27] <nkh> bazhang: any way i compiled it and now looking for ways to accomplish that ! ;)
[08:27] <bazhang> nkh, that is completely unsupported as there is zero need for it
[08:27] <psylentlee> not too sure... broadcom 802.11g
[08:27] <linux_direction> hi again room : )
[08:28] <psylentlee> ana acer extenza5620z
[08:28] <UBUxUBU> cryptodira, so the 1st is primary / ext 3 or 4, then the next one is fat32
[08:28] <rww> !bcm43xx | psylentlee: general setup instructions for bcm43xx series:
[08:28] <cryptodira> Jordan_U: one advantage is: ease of repairing/rebuilding/restoring for when i inevitably farkle something on the disk.
[08:28] <psylentlee> thank you ubottu
[08:28] <UBUxUBU> cryptodira, well the next is swap actuallt then fat32
[08:28] <fzlamn> hi all
[08:28] <saintd3v> has anyone ever seen a "no such file or directory" error when attempting to run an executable, even though it exists?
[08:28] <cryptodira> UBUxUBU: all ext4 and nothing else
[08:28] <rww> psylentlee: as for which of the drivers you should use, that depends on what the value of xx in bcm43xx is ;). e.g., my bmc4312 only works with STA/wl, not b43.
[08:28] <UBUxUBU> ok ext 4 is ok
[08:28] <psylentlee> any other suggestions?
[08:28] <psylentlee> do i have to rip open my box?
[08:29] <nkh> bazhang: Ow rigth :| i just thought that here is like our IRC in Iran , You just support highly rated needs here ?! haha . what a good community ... Thanks 1
[08:29] <nkh> !
[08:29] <psylentlee> it's 2:30 am and i don't feel like doing that...
[08:29] <psylentlee> anyway i'll be back.
[08:29] <rww> psylentlee: we support Ubuntu kernels. If you compiled your own, the expectation is that you know enough to support it yourself :\
[08:29] <rww> psylentlee: sorry, wrong user.
[08:29] <UBUxUBU> cryptodira, how big is your HD
[08:29] <cryptodira> UBUxUBU: what is the advantage of having FAT if *nix is the only os being run?
[08:29] <rww> nkh: we support Ubuntu kernels. If you compiled your own, the expectation is that you know enough to support it yourself :\
[08:29]  * rww should go back to sleep
[08:30] <psylentlee> i was gonna say... i'm not messing with kernels and shells...
[08:30] <cryptodira> UBUxUBU: half a terabyte
[08:30] <Jordan_U> !separatehome | cryptodira
[08:30] <psylentlee> i don't even know the commands to throw at my prompt to get root access of my own box...
[08:30] <fzlamn> can i install windows7 dual boot with ubuntu
[08:30] <UBUxUBU> cryptodira, well for example if buntu gets corrupt u can pullt the dead HD and stick in in any desktop and get thefiles
[08:31] <cryptodira> Jorodan_U: thanks for that link.
[08:31] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: That said, you really don't need it: http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1093664654/no-need-to-complicate-your-life

[08:32] <saintd3v> i'm getting a really strange error, where i get file not found, even though the file exists, any ideas? http://pastebin.com/b8s0z1Rn
[08:32] <Myrtti> fzlamn: sure you can, you need to install windows before ubuntu though if you have that choice - if not, you'll need to restore grub2 which manages the boot - although it's not too difficult
[08:32] <cryptodira> UBUxUBU: good point.... the only other machine i have access to is an ancient os/2 with jfs.... i live in the mountains, off grid and do not get out in the winter.
[08:33] <UBUxUBU> cryptodira, example: 1st partition-15gb ubuntu ext 4, 2nd partition swap 2 gb, 3rd fat32 rest of the drive
[08:33] <linux_direction> i have a question in relation to http://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/index.html. is it just me? or is the advanced link rubbish?
 Ok I explain...
[08:33] <r00t4rd3d> * omrico1 has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[08:33] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[08:33] <linux_direction> advanced topic link*
[08:33] <gobbe> linux_direction: it's not working
[08:33] <r00t4rd3d> not work 4me either
[08:33] <cryptodira> UBUxUBU: that is similar to one of the attempts i made, 'cept without fat... all ext4 instead.... it still failed
[08:33] <UBUxUBU> cryptodira, but honestly i would use ext 3
[08:34] <linux_direction> oh. thats good, im mean. in the sense its not me : )
[08:34] <UBUxUBU> use ext3
[08:34] <gschwepp> linux_direction: working for me
[08:34] <linux_direction> but its a bad thing its not working.
[08:34] <linux_direction> hmmm
[08:34] <gschwepp> i got no problem ... its working.
[08:34] <linux_direction> i thought it might have been me. i thought maybe i might need to be an advanced ubu user.
[08:34] <cryptodira> UBUXUBU: advantage of 3 over 4 ?
[08:34] <linux_direction> well thanks gschwepp.
[08:34] <UBUxUBU> cryptodira, i have done like 30 of them lately
[08:34] <gschwepp> linux_direction: np.
[08:35] <saintd3v> gschwepp: 404 here
[08:35] <UBUxUBU> 3 is more reliable in my opinion unless u plan on doing some stuff with huge files cryptodira
[08:35] <cryptodira> UBUxUBU: on/with amd64 chipsets?
[08:35] <r00t4rd3d> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/advanced-topics/C/index.html
[08:35] <r00t4rd3d> thats for 10.04 but might give you some info you need
[08:35] <linux_direction> well it must be me. the link gives me a not found error.
[08:35] <saintd3v> linux_direction: me too
[08:35] <linux_direction> you must be an ubu guru gschwepp
[08:35] <PiCaSo1> can some one help me in xubuntu ???
[08:35] <cryptodira> UBUxUBU: yes, i chose 4 because of huge files.
[08:35] <UBUxUBU> ok good
[08:36] <linux_direction> thanks for that, saintd3v. i guess its not me : )
[08:36] <PiCaSo1> all the bar in the top are gone
[08:36] <gschwepp> even F5 working. Maybe server is a bit busy ?
[08:36] <gschwepp> DNS problems ...
[08:36] <gschwepp> just try it alter
[08:36] <Gnea> !pp
[08:36] <Gnea> !ppa
[08:36] <bazhang> PiCaSo1, please /join #xubuntu
[08:36] <gschwepp> linux_direction: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/newtoubuntu/C/index.html try this one? maybe this works
[08:37] <PiCaSo1> were i can fond it
[08:37] <UBUxUBU> cryptodira, i have a channel called ##dualbooter which i plan on using for step by step instructions if anyone needs it and i mean every single step
[08:37] <UBUxUBU> cos its busy here
[08:37] <PiCaSo1> thanks ^^
[08:37] <fzlamn> Myrtti: did you have any link that i can follow how to install windos7 in ubuntu?
[08:37] <cryptodira> Jordan_U: Thank you for the links.... i am considering that information.
[08:37] <linux_direction> but i want the advanced topics mate.
[08:37] <linux_direction> will it get me there?
[08:37] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: You're welcome.
[08:37] <linux_direction> but thanks i will see where it takes me.
[08:37] <UBUxUBU> cryptodira, i actually wrote down ever single step every keystroke hehe
[08:37] <rww> cryptodira: 1) You don't need a FAT32 partition at all, and 2) ext4 works fine and is as stable as ext3 these days.
[08:38] <cryptodira> rww: my thoughts exactly... thanks.
[08:38] <rww> UBUxUBU: don't advertise channels here, please
[08:38] <phrix> hi all.. is there a way I can install wine without ttf...?? thanks...
[08:38] <bazhang> UBUxUBU, please dont redirect users to your random channel
[08:38] <gschwepp> linux_direction: sry no
[08:39] <UBUxUBU> thats fine bazhang and rww
[08:39] <linux_direction> Okay thanks gschwepp
[08:39] <UBUxUBU> u take it
[08:39] <bazhang> UBUxUBU, take what
[08:39] <UBUxUBU> cryptodira, u deal with bazhang and rww i am out
[08:39] <cryptodira> UBUxUBU: Thank You for your help.... i will ponder on this a bit.
[08:39] <saintd3v> any suggestions what to try with a file not found, when the file clearly exists? http://paste.ubuntu.com/550127/
[08:40] <rww> phrix: which package manager (Synaptic, apt-get, etc.) are you using?
[08:44] <phrix> rww, i'm using apt-get.. I want install wine, and all dependencies but the ttf... any clue
[08:44] <Jordan_U> saintd3v: Install the 64 bit version of folding@home.
[08:44] <saintd3v> Jordan_U: hmm, let me try that
[08:44] <saintd3v> Jordan_U: but x86_64 should run 32-bit..
[08:44] <Jordan_U> saintd3v: That confusing "file not found" is the linker trying to load dynamic (32 bit) libraries that don't exist.
[08:44] <saintd3v> Jordan_U: ahh
[08:44] <saintd3v> Jordan_U: didn't even think of that, thanks
[08:44] <Jordan_U> saintd3v: You're welcome.
[08:45] <linux_direction> so what was that all about?
[08:45] <elky> !netsplit
[08:45] <bazhang> linux_direction, a net split
[08:45] <phrix> !netsplit

[08:46] <StaRetji> Folks, I've compiled r8192se driver and my wifi now works, but I'm getting kernel panic every few hours. It is a driver downloaded from Realtek website. Can someone help uninstalling/removing this driver and installing some from ubuntu repos? Thank you.
[08:46] <linux_direction> i thought i must have broken something ; )
[08:48] <gschwepp> StaRetji: did you load the kernel module for your wifi card?
[08:48] <linux_direction> and what do they call that one. net split returns?
[08:48] <linux_direction> net split part 2?
[08:49] <saintd3v> Jordan_U: that did it, thanks again :)
[08:49] <bazhang> linux_direction, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[08:49] <Jordan_U> saintd3v: You're welcome :)
[08:49] <linux_direction> lets take what off bazhang?
[08:49] <StaRetji> gschwepp: no, but I have rebooted as Readme instructed (make, make install, reboot)
[08:50] <bazhang> linux_direction, random chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[08:50] <linux_direction> whats was random chit chat?
[08:50] <StaRetji> gschwepp: from that point wifi works (didn't worked before) but also, from that point kernel crashes (machine stalls)
[08:50] <tiox> Wow there was a hell of a split in offtopic/

[08:51] <StaRetji> gschwepp: so, I can't see anything after reboot
[08:51] <Gnea> lesshaste: #rhythmbox perhaps?
[08:51] <StaRetji> I just saw something on the screen regarding wpa suplicant
[08:52] <lesshaste> Gnea: sadly no
[08:52] <jahil> guys were i can found more information Ubuntu Amazon AMI
[08:52] <StaRetji> gschwepp: it hangs completele, exits gdm to console and stalls there
[08:52] <gschwepp> StaRetji: ok not good but ok. you can list your kernel modules with lsmod. but first of all habe a look into the Makefile. MAybe you are lucky and you can use sudo make uninstall.
[08:52] <Gnea> lesshaste: what about the software's homepage? there isn't any info there on support forums?
[08:52] <StaRetji> gschwepp: ok, will do that now
[08:53] <gschwepp> StaRetji: :) ok if you are unsure you can pastebin the makefile if you want

[08:55] <lesshaste> Gnea: there is a channel on irc.gnome.org apparently
[08:55] <geektribe> can anyone help me about few queries regarding gnome-panels??
[08:55] <Gnea> lesshaste: sounds like a good place to check out then
[08:55] <StaRetji> gschwepp: it seems that make uninstall works
[08:55] <StaRetji> yep
[08:55] <StaRetji> should I do lsmod again?
[08:55] <gschwepp> StaRetji: yeah go into installationfolder (where you did make && make install) and type 'sudo make uninstall'
[08:56] <StaRetji> gschwepp: I did that, it finished without error, but lsmod: r8192se_pci           474272  0 [permanent]
[08:56] <StaRetji> ? lol
[08:57] <StaRetji> gschwepp: rmmod r8192se_pci gives: ERROR: Removing 'r8192se_pci': Device or resource busy
[08:57] <StaRetji> gschwepp: should I reboot and check lsmod again?
[08:57] <geektribe> can I reduce gnome-panel opacity without using solid color??
[08:57] <gschwepp> StaRetji: rmmod r8192se_pci
[08:58] <StaRetji> gschwepp: I did that, got error that device is busy
[08:58] <gschwepp> StaRetji: :) you must shut down your wifi
[08:58] <gschwepp> StaRetji: ifconfig wlan0 down
[08:58] <paris_> Sound icon is missing on the panel, what should I do to restore it?
[08:59] <gschwepp> paris_: right click -> add to panel -> search for sound icon -> add it
[08:59] <StaRetji> gschwepp: well, no wifi button, it's foxconn netbox d425, so I've rebooted
[08:59] <Guest17443> where i can discuss about ubuntu amazon or UCE images - any idea - is it the right room?
[08:59] <gschwepp> StaRetji: do it :)
[08:59] <gschwepp> Guest17443: maybe #ubuntu-offtopic is the better choice
[09:00] <rww> gschwepp: #ubuntu-offtopic isn't a support channel :\

[09:01] <StaRetji> gschwepp: yep that did it, no wifi anymore
[09:02] <gschwepp> StaRetji: :) now search for the ubuntu package (apt or synaptic maybe ask google) and install that one
[09:02] <StaRetji> gschwepp: so, what should I do about the driver? Is there a community driver for (lspci: 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvA Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10)
[09:02] <geektribe> francisco__: It may not be visible in Nautilus, though u can find your USB drive in Disk Utility, and re-format it from there...

[09:08] <francisco__> well

[09:08] <francisco__> :D

[09:11] <francisco__> Which format is the best to fornmat ans usbflash?
[09:12] <geektribe> francisco__: FAT or FAT32 is better choice if your drive is around 40 GB, since this FS will work across various platforms.
[09:12] <WindowEd> hello all, I'm a newbie trying to solve a tough problem. I'd like to install ubuntu on a laptop that can't boot from USB and has a broken CD-ROM. Is there a way to create a boot disk to load a virtual cdrom and boot from an iso image?
[09:12] <geektribe> francisco__: sorry that was 4 GB, not 40.. ;-)
[09:12] <Entelin> i'm running 10.10, where is the event.d folder?  i seem to not have one in etc
[09:13] <francisco__> geektribe Mine is 8gb
[09:13] <Gnea> Entelin: sudo updatedb && locate event.d
[09:13] <francisco__> works better with fat32?
[09:13] <Entelin> Gnea, i know where its supposed to be,  /etc/event.d,  my point is it doesnt exist
[09:13] <ubuntu> .
[09:13] <Gnea> francisco__: you can take fat32 if you don't care about file permissions
[09:14] <geektribe> francisco__: Than NTFS is better, though it is windows FS, but better if you're using your drive with multiple OS.
[09:14] <Gnea> Entelin: my point is, run those commands and see if you get any output.
[09:14] <ubuntu> Get a iphone4! http://www.hudie.in/?fromuid=136809
[09:14] <bazhang> ubuntu, dont spam here
[09:14] <Gnea> !ot | ubuntu
[09:14] <francisco__> geektribe Ext4 isn't good?
[09:14] <francisco__> I read that is faster
[09:15] <Entelin> theres one in /etc/apm  this doesnt look like the same thing thugh
[09:15] <Entelin> though*
[09:15] <dmaxel> ext4 is faster, should be stable enough too
[09:15] <geektribe> francisco__: It is better if you are going to use your drive with Linux distros only...
[09:15] <Gnea> Entelin: what usually creates /etc/event.d/ ?
[09:15] <Entelin> its part of upstart, i thought it would be there by default
[09:15] <francisco__> oh
[09:15] <francisco__> thnx
[09:15] <francisco__> microsoft does it again
[09:16] <Gnea> is upstart installed?
[09:16] <francisco__> no support for exct4
[09:16] <Gnea> of course not
[09:16] <geektribe> francisco__: Since windows has no out-of-the-box support for extX series of FS or any other FS as well.
[09:16] <Gnea> they won't give us silverlight, they don't need ext4
[09:16] <Enf> is there a way to get ubuntu package to handle dependencies only to the base package version, eg: mypackage (= 0.1.1)
[09:16] <francisco__> Is there a way to buy a laptop within no os

[09:17] <WindowEd> no idea how to solve the laptop boot problem anyone?
[09:17] <Entelin> found it
[09:17] <geektribe> Gnea: Yeah, they have their own ways, but still we're the best ;-)
[09:17] <Entelin> its now called /etc/init
[09:17] <sacarlson> francisco__: my eeepc came with linux
[09:17] <gschwepp> WindowEd: you got just a floppy ?
[09:17] <dhruvasagar> Hey how do I know the version of ubuntu install from commandl ine ?
[09:17] <rww> dhruvasagar: lsb_release -a
[09:17] <gschwepp> WindowEd: do you have a network?
[09:17] <dhruvasagar> rww: cool
[09:17] <WindowEd> yes, floppy and network but no idea how to setup a server
[09:18] <francisco__> dhruvasagar
[09:18] <cryptodira> Jordan_U: would you happen to have a pointer to making sound work on the built in speakers?  right now i only have the audio out jack working... toshiba satellite amd64 / 10.04 only.
[09:18] <francisco__> I recommend to instal Sysinfo
[09:18] <Gnea> Entelin: I've used /etc/init/, it works well
[09:18] <francisco__> show info about almosteverything
[09:18] <francisco__> very usefull
[09:18] <Entelin> yeah this is what I was looking for, thanks
[09:18] <Gnea> awesome
[09:18] <GutZuWiSSeN> hi there.. how can i change the keyboard mapping? (need a custom one)
[09:18] <Jordan_U> !sound | cryptodira
[09:18] <gschwepp> WindowEd: try network installation ... try to ask google.
[09:19] <geektribe> WindowEd: GRUB, which is boot loader of majority of distros, supports booting from ISO stored in local hard drive, but that involves adding manual entry to the boot menu...
[09:19] <dhruvasagar> francisco__: Hi, yes ?
[09:20] <WindowEd> geektribe that could be a solution. Is it really complicated?
[09:20] <cryptodira> Jordan_U:  Thank You once again.  :)
[09:20] <francisco__> yes
[09:20] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: You're welcome :)
[09:20] <geektribe> WindowEd: Though I have not tried it so far, official Grub documentation supports this.
[09:20] <francisco__> dhruvasagar search at software center
[09:21] <trox702> Hi everybody, didn't want to flood the room. Can anyone help with this ssh problem? : http://pastebin.com/u4uk3ShX
[09:21] <geektribe> WindowEd: Its not much complicated, u'll not end up with unbootable machine ;-)
[09:21] <francisco__> or sudo apt-get install sysinfo
[09:21] <dhruvasagar> francisco__: search for what ? lsb_release -a helped me
[09:21] <WindowEd> geektribe: ok, I'll try to google it up :)
[09:21] <bazhang> !grub2 | WindowEd here's the wiki
[09:21] <francisco__> dhruvasagar sudo apt-get install sysinfo

[09:27] <StaRetji> gschwepp: thx for that link, it seems that there is no proper driver for this card :/ ndis driver is not an option as I have one more card inside and I don't know how it will affect it. Thx for all the help ;)
[09:27] <gschwepp> StaRetji: maybe you can try to install the realtek driver and work on the panic problem
[09:29] <StaRetji> gschwepp: not sure how to do that, there are numerous bug reports, many ppl are affected
[09:30] <WindowEd> geektribe: this probably sounds terribly lame... but how do I install GRUB on the machine? It's running WinXp now (no linux at all)
[09:31] <AntiProxy> hi everyone
[09:31] <WindowEd> I tried wubi but it does not seem to work
[09:32] <AntiProxy> i have a remote server running 2.6.24-27-server on Ubuntu 8.04.4 that freezes from time to time and i can't do anything but reboot it (reboot switch)
[09:32] <sayres> plugin finished installing the system tray screenlets.But nothing is inside?The time when a tray that goes inside the plugin is closing?B-)
[09:32] <Jordan_U> WindowEd: Is the CDROM completely broken or just unreliable?
[09:32] <geektribe> WindowEd: Than you're probably left with only option that's network boot, since the method I suggested requires Grub physically installed in the target machine, also, Wubi installation doesn't installs Grub.
[09:32] <AntiProxy> i'm thinking of setting it to automatically reboot in case of a kernel panic, but i'd like to get to the bottom of this, and figure out what's causing it to crash... is there anything i can do to force it to log something when it crashes and maybe get a better idea next time?
[09:33] <WindowEd> Jordan_U the CD-ROM is busted :( the little thing in the middle that holds the disk in place came off
[09:33] <sayres> plugin finished installing the system tray screenlets.But nothing is inside?The time when a tray that goes inside the plugin is closing?	
[09:33] <witzz> Hi)
[09:34] <tripelb> I put in a flash drive. I dont get a choice of "open with Picasa"  -- I want it. Can I add it to the submenu?

[09:34] <sayres> plugin finished installing the system tray screenlets.But nothing is inside?The time when a tray that goes inside the plugin is closing?	
[09:35] <Jordan_U> WindowEd: How did wubi fail?

[09:36] <bazhang> !repeat | sayres
[09:37] <sayres> ubottu:sorry
[09:37] <WindowEd> Jordan_U it took one hour to download the iso via torrent and then simply told me it could not find the neccessary files...
[09:38] <WindowEd> looks like the machine does not have enough memory... it has like 240 mbyte but needs 250
[09:41] <Coolness> Is this channel for technical support?
[09:42] <dmaxel> Coolness: yep!
[09:42] <Coolness> Awesome
[09:42] <Coolness> I have a small matter with Ubuntu Server
[09:43] <banisterfiend> Coolness: dont lie
[09:43] <Coolness> :(
[09:43] <mbnoimi_>  how to enable socks proxy for whole KDE applications just like http proxy (I'm using KDE 4.5.1)?
[09:43] <Coolness> I installed X and when i try to run it using "startx" it just pops a white box in the left corner
[09:44] <dmaxel> mbnoimi: maybe someone who knows KDE can say.
[09:44] <bonjoyee> Coolness: that means u have not installed a DE...
[09:44] <Coolness> bonjoyee, How exactly do i do that?
[09:44] <dmaxel> Coolness: if you just install X, then that's what it'l do. you need to install the gnome stack or simply the ubuntu-desktop package
[09:44] <pharvey> DE desktop environment, one is known as gnome-session, you might also try ubuntu-desktop
[09:44] <AntiProxy> guys how can i get more info on my server hanging? it simply freezes, log files all stop at the same time with no sign of error, and continue from the point the server is rebooted.. does it sound like a kernel panic? if so, is there a way to log it somehow?
[09:45] <pharvey> although that will bring lots of bloat on your server
[09:45] <WindowEd> Coolness: I installed the xubuntu-desktop package and it worked fine
[09:45] <bonjoyee> Coolness: DE=Desktop Environment (GNOME, KDE, LXDE, XFCE are some examples)..install one that you like,,,
[09:45] <Coolness> Ah i understand.
[09:45] <Coolness> Sudo apt-get install gnome <<?
[09:46] <dmaxel> Coolness: i'd choose one of the desktop metapackages
[09:46] <Coolness> Like...?
[09:46] <pharvey> gnome-desktop-environment
[09:46] <Coolness> Ah thanks
[09:46] <dmaxel> xubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, etc
[09:46] <bonjoyee> Coolness: if its a server and u only need a basic gui thats lighweight as well..go with lxde
[09:46] <Coolness> No you see i dont really need a GUI, i need to get my wireless card drivers functioning
[09:47] <Coolness> and i can't seem to activate them from the command line
[09:47] <WindowEd> you just type apd-cache search desktop and see the names of the packages
[09:47] <Coolness> So i thought i'd install a GUI
[09:47] <bazhang> !wifi | Coolness have a read here
[09:47] <Coolness> Thanks!
[09:47] <rww> Coolness: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI
[09:48] <WindowEd> bonjoyee: so lxde is the lightest... i thought xfce was :( installed the wrong one
[09:49] <Gnea> !sane
[09:49] <Coolness> Those scan for wireless networks?
[09:49] <mbnoimi_> dmaxel: the problem that I asked about this issue in kubuntu channel but they point me to ask about KDE scocks here! becasue they don't know
[09:49] <bonjoyee> WindowEd: "lightest" is a relative term!
[09:50] <dmaxel> mbnoimi: ah. well i'm not a KDE user, but im sure there's at least one in this channel...
[09:51] <WindowEd> I tried to give ubuntu server a go but i felt like i was trying to work blindfolded with hands tied behind my back... is there a way to have an idea of its own surroundings from the terminal (for example listing the installed applications)?

[09:52] <bonjoyee> WindowEd: so don't take my word as the last one.....see for yourself...lxde is just a few MB download away!
[09:52] <jrib> WindowEd: help.ubuntu.com would also be helpful
[09:55] <Coolness> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom << What if my card is the 4312 and thus included in the kernel?
[09:55] <Coolness> Means i won't be able to use wireless?

[09:56] <Coolness> I have used wireless on an standard ubuntu 10.10, worked fine.
[09:56] <Vits1> Hi everyone. I'm running 10.10 x86_64 (kernel 2.6.35-24) as guest on a virtualbox(3.2.12, tried 4.0 Beta already) hosted on windows 7 64 bit (i7 processor). There is this very annoying thing that the guest freezes all the time(randomly, definitely overnight) even when using a single processor for the virtual machine. I've googled this problem a lot without finding a solution, does anybody as a clue?
[09:56] <Coolness> Didn't have to install anything...
[09:56] <phrix> hi anyone here using sound card ESS Maestro 3... I need some installation helps...
[09:56] <phrix> hi anyone here using sound card ESS Maestro 3...?? I need some installation helps...
[09:57] <bonjoyee> Coolness: then it may be detected already...try setting up wifi from the terminal
[09:57] <dice4dj> any chinese?
[09:58] <bazhang> dice4dj, in #ubuntu-cn
[09:58] <dmaxel> bonjoyee, is command-line NetworkManager in Ubuntu too?
[09:58] <rww> !info cnetworkmanager
[09:59] <bonjoyee> dmaxel: if its maverick..i believe so!
[09:59] <dmaxel> Gotcha. For some reason I still thought it was only Fedora
[10:00] <Coolness> bonjoyee, I've tried iwlist scan and it says that none of my devices support scanning
[10:01] <bonjoyee> Coolness: im not really familiar with wifi setup as i dont use it..but for a start could you paste the output of "sudo lspci -vk" on http://pastebin.com
[10:02] <Coolness> bonjoyee, that output is HUGE
[10:02] <Coolness> And it's another machine so i can't copypaste
[10:03] <Coolness> But it does report a "Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g"
[10:03] <bonjoyee> Coolness: ok then see the line that says about your wifi card..and see what  the line "kernel driver in use" says
[10:03] <Coolness> it says "in use: wl"
[10:03] <rww> Coolness: install the package bcmwl-kernel-source
[10:03] <Coolness> I did that, based on the broadcom support page
[10:03] <rww> should work then.
[10:03] <Coolness> no help rww
[10:04] <rww> hrm
[10:04] <Coolness> Also i think i screwed something up with the "jockey" command
[10:04] <phrix> hi anyone here using sound card ESS Maestro 3...?? I need some installation helps...
[10:04] <Coolness> now it just says "lo, eth0, eth1"
[10:05] <bonjoyee> Coolness: does "sudo ifconfig -a" report the wlan?
[10:05] <Coolness> wait...
[10:05] <Coolness> bonjoyee, no it doesnt
[10:05] <Coolness> just ethernet
[10:05] <Coolness> 2 ethernets
[10:06] <WindowEd> jrib: thanks a lot!! Learning time! :) thanks bonjoyee
[10:06] <bonjoyee> Coolness: "sudo iwconfig" ?
[10:07] <Coolness> says "eth1" is a IEEE 802.11a
[10:07] <Coolness> What exactly are we looking for ?
[10:07] <volviq> since my update to 10.04 my computer can wether be pinged nor ssh-ed from outside. even with firewall disable. how could this happen?
[10:07] <Coolness> access point non associated...
[10:08] <goldpaper> How can I decrypt my home folder?
[10:08] <bonjoyee> Coolness: i really feel that the wifi card is detected and working...someone here surely knows how to set it up from terminal
[10:08] <Coolness> bonjoyee, Yeah same since it worked fine in regular Ubuntu
[10:09] <h-dee> volviq: what do you mean by firewall disabled? Linux has a default firewall IPTABLES which is always ON. You can just unblock port for Incoming connections.
[10:09] <Coolness> thanks for your help bonjoyee
[10:09] <bonjoyee> Coolness: good luck:)
[10:10] <ttiicc> this might not be ubuntu specific but anyhow. I have configured openssh on my server and disabled the root user from being able to make ssh in to the server. And my problem is that I got this user ino which is able to become root user with the su command. wonder how I could disable him too from making ssh in to the server?
[10:10] <Coolness> thanks
[10:10] <h-dee> Coolness: you tried iwconfig?
[10:10] <dice4dj> channel
[10:10] <Coolness> h-dee, yes it reports the wlan card as "eth1"
[10:10] <rww> ttiicc: 'man sshd_config', look into the AllowUsers and DenyUsers commands
[10:11] <h-dee> Coolness: http://crunchbang.org/archives/2007/12/18/configure-wireless-on-the-command-line/ Just in case you din't. I'm catching up late.
[10:11] <h-dee> Coolness: I'm using Gnome, and mine's eth1 too...
[10:11] <rww> ttiicc: and if you do change your sshd_config file, run sudo service ssh restart to apply changes
[10:12] <bonjoyee> volviq: whats the output of "sudo ufw status"
[10:12] <Coolness> h-dee, Okay... But why does iwlist scan tell me it doesnt support scanning?
[10:12] <madstein> ?
[10:12] <h-dee> Coolness: Tried scanning for eth1 or wlan0?
[10:12] <dice4dj> admin
[10:13] <goldpaper> When I installed Ubuntu I encrypted home, how can I undo that with a command line?
[10:13] <rww> dice4dj: something we can help you with?
[10:13] <Ormie> What is ubuntu Enterprise cloud?
[10:13] <Coolness> h-dee, What do you mean?
[10:13] <yang__> ubuntu-cn
[10:13] <yang__> #ubuntu-cn
[10:14] <rww> yang__: you can just type /join #ubuntu-cn
[10:14] <ttiicc> thanks rww!
[10:14] <h-dee> Coolness: If you remember the name of the ACCESS POINT, you may skip that step and try setting up the ACCESS POINT.
[10:14] <yang__> thank you
[10:14] <Coolness> h-dee, Yes, sure, which command would i use then?
[10:15] <h-dee> Coolness: 'sudo iwconfig eth0 essid ACCESSPOINT' as per the link.
[10:15] <Coolness> Okay thanks
[10:16] <dpetrek> is there a way to check disk for bad sectors in ubuntu terminal
[10:16] <OchoZero9> how do you install ubuntu into a tablet pc?
[10:16] <Coolness> eth1 for me...
[10:16] <LoonaTick> Hi. Does anyone know if it's normal that an ubuntu box continuously (every second) sends ARP for the broadcast address in a netwerk? ( Request who-has 10.3.255.255 tell 10.3.0.75, length 28 )
[10:16] <dpetrek> and with file system mounted, if possible
[10:16] <h-dee> Coolness: yes exactly.
[10:16] <Coolness> h-dee, what am i supposed to replace with the access point name?
[10:16] <OchoZero9> by tablet i  also mean to imply it doesn't have a cd drive
[10:17] <LoonaTick> OchoZero9: Does it support pxe?
[10:17] <ufaro> help preventing pidgin from running on startup? (ubuntu 10.10)
[10:17] <h-dee> Coolness: The name of your access-point (your wifi-device name)
[10:17] <Jordan_U> dpetrek: You can use the SMART utilities, actually trying to write and read every block would not be possible while an FS is mounted.
[10:17] <Coolness> h-dee, yes but in which part of the command
[10:17] <h-dee> Coolness: replace the ACCESSSPOINT in the above command with the name of the access point
[10:17] <OchoZero9> I don't knwo what PXE is, I'm shrinking the drive and allocating 86gig of space for ubuntu
[10:17] <dpetrek> jordan_u i'de rather not power down or reboot this machine, want to do a "live" bad sector test
[10:17] <dpetrek> would that be possible any way?
[10:18] <LoonaTick> OchoZero9: You may also try to put a usb cd drive in
[10:18] <Ormie> Hello
[10:18] <LoonaTick> OchoZero9: With a regular PC you usually set it in the bios
[10:18] <sve> how can i force a different screen resolution on Ubuntu. Running Ubuntu 10.10. I have the custom ATI drivers installed for my card but for some reason in the ATI settings it only allows me max resolution of 1280x768. Here is the config settings from xrandr http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/550098/
[10:18] <Jordan_U> dpetrek: Again, the closest you're going to get is using the drive's SMART diagnostics.
[10:18] <Coolness> h-dee, and so i type: sudo iwconfig eth1 ESSID <accesspoint> <password> ?
[10:18] <LoonaTick> OchoZero9: http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/ubuntu_pxe.html
[10:19] <dpetrek> Jordan_U: yeah but thats not without dismounting FS
[10:19] <OchoZero9> my bios may not be extensive like an asus or abit, but i think is more heavy than an hp bios
[10:19] <Jordan_U> dpetrek: Yes, it is.
[10:19] <Cyberthunder> hi, i installed wine 1.3.10 with synaptics normal in /home/user/.wine and i installed a patched wine in /home/user/Downloads/wine-1.1.44 and know if i type winecfg or winetricks in terminal everytime wine-1.1.44 starts, and now i cant config my wine 1.3.10, pls can anybody tell me how i can change the symlinks?
[10:19] <OchoZero9> since it's a thinkpad
[10:19] <h-dee> Coolness: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid <accesspoint> key <password>
[10:19] <rww> Ormie: for UEC information, try http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private and #ubuntu-cloud.
[10:19] <Coolness> h-dee, thanks, i try...
[10:19] <h-dee> Coolness: sure!
[10:19] <dpetrek> Cyberthunder: aha you are saying i could do it with SMART utilities even without dismounting FS
[10:19] <sda1986> hi all, i have a question, is it true that Plymouth make boot ubuntu faster? is it only something nice for our eyes or something for the system? Thanks
[10:20] <Syria> Hi, please tell me if this is correct   cp -r var/www/site1/folder   var/www/site2/folder
[10:20] <dpetrek> Jordan_U: aha you are saying i could do it with SMART utilities even without dismounting FS
[10:20] <rww> sda1986: it looks nice. as far as I know, it doesn't decrease boot time at all
[10:20] <Coolness> h-dee, it says invalid argument <password> (i replaced <password> with my password)
[10:20] <Ormie> rww, Thanks
[10:20] <sda1986> rww, anyway it doesn't boost too, because someone told me it helps to boot faster
[10:20] <Jordan_U> dpetrek: Yes.
[10:20] <Coolness> h-dee, found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560&highlight=BCM4312
[10:21] <Coolness> I'll try that now
[10:21] <Cyberthunder> dpetrek, sry i dont understand, my english is not perfekt, at this moment i cant start winecfg or winetricks with my "normal" wine 1.3.10
[10:21] <rww> sda1986: not that I know of
[10:21] <h-dee> Coolness: Try just this first 'sudo iwconfig eth1 essid <accesspoint>'. If it proceeds, then use the password command.
[10:21] <OchoZero9> LoonaTick: would this work for dual boot too?
[10:21] <Coolness> okay h-dee
[10:21] <sda1986> rww, really thanks! i love IRC chat! thanks again!
[10:21] <rww> Ormie: and for movies in ASCII, try mplayer with the caca plugin. see http://oreilly.com/pub/h/4441
[10:21] <Coolness> h-dee, Okay, no messages at all
[10:21] <lundtor> why wont gnome remember my visual settings after reboot?
[10:21] <Coolness> So what did it do?
[10:21] <rww> Ormie: mplayer's in Ubuntu's multiverse repository.
[10:22] <h-dee> Coolness: try this now 'sudo iwconfig eth1 key <password>'
  seems like wine 1.1.44 and 1.3.10 are both trying to use the .wine folder...so there's a clash
[10:22] <Coolness> h-dee, invalid argument <password> again :D
[10:23] <h-dee> Coolness: Now, I can even ask your password to say whether its correct or not. LOL
[10:23] <h-dee> Coolness: Now, I can't* even ask your password to say whether its correct or not. LOL
[10:23] <Coolness> h-dee, haha ye
[10:24] <Coolness> h-dee, wait, if i try to connect to a non-secure network?
[10:24] <Coolness> h-dee, i'll make one off my phone and try...
[10:24] <Cyberthunder> exxtreme, how can i change this? normaly i can use winetricks when i make env WINEPREFIX "/home/user/Download/wine-1.1.44" winetricks, but now only winetricks start wine-1.1.44, is there a symlink or something to change that a stand alone winetricks starts my /home/user/.wine ? and with wineprefix i can then use wine-1.1.44
[10:24] <h-dee> Coolness: Sure. meanwhile I'm trying to find any other solution.
[10:24] <geekyogi> Hi everyone
[10:25] <Coolness> h-dee, thanks a lot for your help so far :)
[10:25] <geekyogi> I want to have an in-house 3rd party repository for ubuntu 10.10
[10:25] <Israfel> lundtor, What visual settings? The GUI?
[10:25] <geekyogi> any suggestions
[10:25] <h-dee> Coolness: :-)
[10:26] <h-dee> Coolness: Your's is BCM4312 right?
[10:26] <geekyogi> I want to have an in-house 3rd party repository for ubuntu 10.10 because I don't have internet access...  is it possible to download the repository as a DVD file??????????
[10:26] <geekyogi> iso fle
[10:26] <Coolness> h-dee, Okay so it just says nothing after i connect to the network
[10:26] <Coolness> h-dee, yes thats it
[10:26] <Coolness> h-dee, So i just says nothing and pinging doesnt do anything
[10:26] <Coolness> h-dee, or, lol, says "unknown host"
[10:26] <h-dee> Coolness: Try 'sudo dhclient' now.
[10:27] <geekyogi> @coolness I want to have an in-house 3rd party repository for ubuntu 10.10 because I don't have internet access...  is it possible to download the repository as an ISO file??????????
[10:27] <bonjoyee> geekyogi: how will you download the dvd?
[10:27] <h-dee> Coolness: Mine's same. BCM4312.
[10:27] <lundtor> Israfel: right click desktop -> change desktop background -> Visual effects. Setting it from None to Normal works fine. Reboot and its set back to None
[10:27] <geekyogi> bonjoyee when I'm in the network
[10:27] <bonjoyee> geekyogi: ?
[10:27] <geekyogi> @bonjoyee do you have any link where I can download the packages from
[10:27] <Prajwal> नवीन वर्षाच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा
[10:27] <h-dee> Coolness: But, I can't try changing it because right now I'm using it. LOL!
[10:28] <Coolness> h-dee, okay. :D
[10:28] <Coolness> geekyogi, I dont know, others might though :)
[10:28] <Prajwal> नवीन वर्षाच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा
[10:28] <sacarlson> geekyogi: you might need something like this: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/
[10:28] <imagine> Anyone know much about why when I run dpkg on a .deb with --force-all I am getting error creating directory `./etc/httpd/extra': No such file or directory
[10:28] <Coolness> h-dee, the dhcp command tried a lot of stuff *walloftext* and apparently failed
[10:29] <Coolness> h-dee, pinging stilll doesnt work :Ö
[10:29] <Coolness> :P
[10:29] <bonjoyee> geekyogi: if you can download the packages somehow...you can use dpkg-scanpackages to build a local repo
[10:29] <Israfel> lundtor, Ah, are you using Compiz?
[10:29] <h-dee> Coolness: Any specific failure reason. Did 'iwconfig' says it allocated any IP to eth1?
[10:30] <Coolness> h-dee, no, iwconfig says "non-associated"
[10:30] <Coolness> h-dee, it said "No DHCPOFERS recived"
[10:30] <lundtor> Israfel: indeed
[10:31] <h-dee> Coolness: Looking into it.
[10:31] <Coolness> h-dee, great, thanks.
[10:31] <Israfel> lundtor, Compiz takes over, if you have the visual effects, don't worry about that being disabled.
[10:31] <Coolness> h-dee, meanwhile ill follow this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560&highlight=BCM4312
[10:31] <Israfel> lundtor, However, if it's not working, make sure you have the restricted drivers enabled.
[10:31] <lundtor> Israfel: but the effects dissapear after reboot, so i have to re-enable it every time.
[10:32] <h-dee> Coolness: yeah you may try that. Looks bit tedius, but doesn't matter if that makes it work. :-)
[10:32] <bonjoyee> Coolness: thats an old post....try that only as a worst case scenario
[10:32] <Coolness> Okay bonjoyee, thanks, saves me trouble :D
[10:33] <lundtor> also metacity screws up, so window decorations dissapear.. I has to set a custom command at start: metacity --replace

[10:34] <coconutz> hey guys, i have ubuntu 10.10 and im trying to install php 5.2 but its installs me php 5.3 , how can i install the 5.2 version ?
[10:34] <Deathsbreed> es que nadie va al servidor deathsbreed
[10:34] <Deathsbreed> nunca
[10:35] <Israfel> lundtor, I think there's a fix by rebooting, running only ompiz at the start, and saving the session's running applications. (System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, Options, Remember Currently Running Applications.
[10:35] <unop> imagine,  probably because the directory /etc/httpd/ does not exist ... note that /etc/httpd is not standard on debian/ubuntu anymore ... and you're probably using --force-all incorrectly here just to circumvent a genuine problem
[10:35] <OchoZero9> con quien to hablas
[10:35] <bonjoyee> Coolness: if u get no "DHCP offers received" that may mean theres no DHCP server running on the wifi router...are you sure it is?
[10:35] <r00t4rd3d> coconutz, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1459163
[10:36] <Coolness> bonjoyee, yeah i'm sure, i have 5 other computers here, all function fine with it
[10:36] <Coolness> bonjoyee, DHCP gives out IP's right?
[10:36] <bonjoyee> Coolness: yes
[10:36] <imagine> unop: I see, so for some directories the script uses mkdir, and in this case it isn't?
[10:36] <volviq> my firewall problem: ufw status gives me inactive. I have disable in the last session, and restarted. but still i cannot be pinged iptables --list gives me no active rule.
[10:36] <Coolness> bonjoyee, yeah, then it has DHCP
[10:37] <OchoZero9> what's better for a tablet pc alpha 11.04 or 10.04?
[10:37] <imagine> unop: I am writing a shell script that would use wget and do everything, making it into a .deb and using dpkg
[10:37] <OchoZero9> a tablet with wacom pen and captive multi touch screen
[10:37] <unop> imagine,  mkdir will fail to create a subdirectory if the parent directory doesn't already exist first
[10:37] <imagine> unop: I confured it mysql to use that /etc/http
[10:37] <bonjoyee> Coolness: or manally force an ip (thats in the wifi subnet)to your wifi card... and see if that works
[10:37] <bonjoyee> Coolness: manually*
[10:37] <imagine> unop: I configured it myself* I thought it would create directories
[10:37] <avinashhm> hi, 'win + E' minimizes all 4 workspaces ... is there any place where i can look for the documentation on this ?? ...'win+E' or 'win+A' ..
[10:37] <Coolness> bonjoyee, sure, but first i need to connect to the network
[10:38] <Coolness> bonjoyee,  which i cant do
[10:38] <Coolness> lol
[10:38] <volviq> running wireshark shows me the incoming pings/sshs but i don't see a reply.
[10:38] <imagine> unop: Is there anyway around this or will I have to make the directories myself?
[10:38] <unop> imagine,  you might want to use 'mkdir -p' then to create the parents first ..
[10:38] <dmaxel> OchoZero9, how about the one in the middle: 10.10
[10:38] <OchoZero9> dmaxel, i guess that's what i meant, the latest stable vs alpha
[10:39] <imagine> unop: I am hoping to automate it in a shell script
[10:39] <Juelz_Santana> OchoZero9, also depends if you like unity or not
[10:39] <wazz> Hi
[10:39] <imagine> unop: Because its going to install a bunch of things from source using wget, etc in my custom locations
[10:39] <dmaxel> OchoZero9, yes, go with stable. Alpha is still in bits and pieces.
[10:39] <wrd> OchoZero9: I wouldn't use alphaquality software unless you really know what to do if it breaks!
[10:39] <unop> imagine,  so use mkdir -p ./etc/httpd/extra   in your script
[10:40] <OchoZero9> the question arises because i don't want to lose any tablet support that 11 may offer
[10:40] <OchoZero9> since i saw a video of it with my computer
[10:40] <h-dee> Coolness: Any success?
[10:41] <Coolness> h-dee, nope, im stuck.
[10:41] <bonjoyee> Coolness: also is there a limit as to how many ips are allowed..set in your router?
[10:41] <wazz> Anyone here who knows about networking stuff?
[10:42] <Juelz_Santana> wazz, networking stuff?
[10:42] <Coolness> yes wazz, a bit.
[10:42] <gschwepp> !ask | wazz
[10:42] <Coolness> gschwepp, lol'd
[10:42] <h-dee> Coolness: If you're trying any other method right now, try the same again. There was some error in password input command. If you're using ASCII bases Key, try 'sudo iwconfig eth1 key s:<PASSWORD>'
[10:42] <wazz> Well, I have a small case with my "network"
[10:43] <imagine> unop: So I guess its the fault of the ./configure script, I can't update that since it will get fresh copy using wget each time, so I would have to put it in the shell script which isn't as elegant I suppose, since different ./configure will probably encounter this problem as I make odd places for the files
[10:43] <Coolness> h-dee, yeah the key is just plain non-caps letters
[10:43] <wazz> I have 1 server and one normal PC (running ubuntus). They are connected to a switch and that switch is connected to a wall.
[10:43] <Coolness> h-dee, i'll try
[10:43] <h-dee> Coolness: And then check with 'ifconfig' the settings for eth1.
[10:43] <Coolness> h-dee,  ye thanks
[10:43] <wazz> I'm getting IP addresses for those two by dhcp, but I also would need some static IP for connecting them.
[10:43] <imagine> unop: I guess I was hoping to just be able to set a mode, like, so mkdir always uses -p for the duration of the shell script
[10:43] <imagine> unop: Do you know of anything like that?
[10:43] <Coolness> h-dee, "SET failed on device eth1; invalid argument."
[10:44] <h-dee> Coolness: After key set command?
[10:44] <wazz> Problem is that I'm scared that using alias ip will make some traffic "over" my own switch
[10:44] <imagine> unop: So I can set mkdir to always use -p, and the ./configure scripts can make directories like that without errors
[10:44] <Coolness> h-dee, wait.... i failed a bit...
[10:44] <vesh> hi there how do i get to play wmi and wmv using ubuntu 10.10
[10:44] <gschwepp> wazz: is the firewall router as well?
[10:45] <Coolness> h-dee, so where do i insert the password?
[10:45] <wrd> !enter |wazz
[10:45] <wazz> No
[10:45] <wazz> ahh.. not for u ubottu, sorry :)
[10:45] <h-dee> Coolness: After 'key s:' in the above command: sudo iwconfig eht1 key s:<your passkey>
[10:46] <vesh> i have mplayer installed and have also installed the win32 codecs
[10:46] <Coolness> h-dee, Yeah but where do i insert the SSID then?
[10:46] <vesh> as well as the ubuntu extras
[10:46] <Coolness> Lol i fail
[10:46] <OchoZero9> so, how do i install  with dualboot in a laptop with no cd drive?
[10:47] <wazz> gschwepp, I'm living at dormitory and thats why I would like to keep my own traffic at my side. When I tested with sftp, for some reason transfering was faster with IP-addresses from dhcp
[10:47] <bonjoyee> OchoZero9: try a liveusb..
[10:47] <h-dee> Coolness: No, I mean restart with those steps you used initialli. First set essid using 'sudo iwconfig eth1 essid <ACCESSPOINT>'
[10:47] <OchoZero9> i don't know what that is, but i'll google it
[10:47] <h-dee> Coolness: And then the keyphrase command.
[10:47] <wrd> wazz: do you have your own switch?
[10:47] <Coolness> h-dee, i get you, wait
[10:48] <akem> Hi, how do you guys installs Ubuntu on a laptop already running Windows? you resize partition C: on the Windows system then switch to Ubuntu for installing?
[10:48] <bonjoyee> OchoZero9: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[10:48] <wazz> wrd, yes. It's stupid switch (cannot make any settings)
[10:48] <Coolness> h-dee, invalid argument
[10:48] <Coolness> :(
[10:48] <OchoZero9> thank you very much
[10:49] <wazz> Is it slower to use alias Ip address for transfering data?
[10:49] <h-dee> Coolness: :( The man pages aren't that much user-friendly. Let me try again. Please hold on.
[10:49] <gschwepp> wazz is it possible for you to configure the dhcp server to get static ip adresses ?
[10:49] <gschwepp> or mac adress related ips?
[10:50] <bonjoyee> wazz: you sure the switch is giving away the ips?
[10:50] <wazz> gschwepp, no. that stuff is between ISP and my dormitorys maintance
[10:50] <shaosheng> hello,everyone
[10:50] <wazz> bonjoyee, not really. I think it's somekind cisco machine.
[10:50] <wrd> wazz: it shouldn't be. the switch should be automatically learning your ip addresses and mac addresses and then forwarding local traffic to local machines.
[10:51] <wazz> wrd, I know it should be like this, but still i feel that it's not really going like that :D
[10:51] <Coolness> h-dee,  yeah i know they are weird lol
[10:51] <wazz> wrd: also the thing with speed. When I were transfering data over sftp it was much faster with ip addresses from dhcp
[10:52] <bonjoyee> wazz: it could be a router..try changing the dhcp settings there
[10:52] <zaoul> Anyone use hamster?
[10:52] <wazz> bonjoyee, not possible to change any settings. It's coming from ISP
[10:53] <wsf> 有中国人不
[10:53] <wazz> bonjoyee: And the reason why I dont want to have a router between is my server. If I want to connect to it from outside it has to have normal Ip
[10:53] <Myrtti> !cn | wsf
[10:54] <wrd> wazz: well, are you sure that the problem is really from the ip addresses and not some random external issue?
[10:54] <dreamwalk> Hello
[10:54] <dreamwalk> How's it going?
[10:55] <wsf> 哦  /join #ubuntu-hk
[10:55] <dreamwalk> anyone willing to chat to an intermediate level user about a wireless adapter issue in ubuntu?
[10:55] <wazz> wrd, I'm not. I think it might be this alias ip, maybe it's slower by nature.
[10:55] <wrd> !ot| dreamwalk
[10:55] <marcel_> when i boot my ubuntu i have heavy graphik issuses but they disappear when ubuntu is startet. they are only at the boot process. maybee it is a problem wie the graphik drive. have someone had the same problems, or have someone a solution
[10:56] <pleban> ...
[10:56] <dreamwalk> wrd, not sure I understand....
[10:56] <Coolness> dreamwalk, Sure, actually having similar issues myself.
[10:56] <dreamwalk> Yeah?
[10:56] <Coolness> dreamwalk, He means dont say "Hello" here
[10:57] <Coolness> dreamwalk, I'm running ubuntu server and can't connect to a wireless network :(
[10:57] <wrd> wazz: have you tried setting up a static ip and running the same tests? can you use your own switch?
[10:57] <dreamwalk> what's it doing?  Mine is "seeing" the wireless connection and even connecting, but it disconnects and will not connect again till reboot after justa few minutes of being onnected.
[10:57] <wazz> wrd: I haven't done that. I will test it out when I'm going home
[10:58] <dreamwalk> Coolness, have you tried to manually install ndiswrapper and ndisgtk?
[10:58] <dreamwalk> that may be your issue?
[10:58] <ubuntu__> what would be a good offline dictionary for ubuntu?
[10:58] <dreamwalk> Hello, wrd
[10:58] <Coolness> dreamwalk, mine doesn't scan or see wireless networks, and ubuntu server is CLI-only
[10:58] <h-dee> Coolness: Your's WPA or WEP encryption?
[10:58] <wazz> wrd, do you know if arp request is going trought this switch what isnt mine.
[10:58] <Coolness> h-dee, WPA
[10:58] <Aihetleos> guys how to format ubuntu and clean it from everything ??
[10:58] <Coolness> WPA2 afaik
[10:59] <dreamwalk> Coolness, you can get a GUI for server, but first you have to get thhose other applications up and running.
[10:59] <ubuntu__> I tried stardict and they have  a total of 5000 words for anything that isn't english -german, which is a joke
[10:59] <Coolness> dreamwalk, i know but i'd need to install Gnome... I'm slowly beginning to think i should resort to that
[10:59] <Coolness> people here have tried helping me but no avail :(
[11:00] <wrd> wazz: well sniff traffic. if you are really keen you could have a look how long it takes to get an arp response. if you've got access to the arp table that could be helpful.
[11:00] <dreamwalk> well, I think I may have some good news
[11:00] <dreamwalk> for you
[11:00] <Coolness> The reason i installed Ubuntu server is to get rid of the GUI; i need more RAM
[11:00] <Coolness> Yes dreamwalk ?
[11:00] <ubuntu__> Aihetleos, use a live-cd and gparted. But beware that you will loose all data on the formatted drives
[11:00] <volviq> i would recommend to keep the home partition.
[11:00] <Guest22616> just installed xrdp but there is no menu item how do i run it?
[11:00] <ubuntu__> Coolness, maybe try a less demanding window manager then like lxde or xfce?
[11:00] <dreamwalk> there is a version of ubuntu server that has GUI, but it's stripped down. loet me try to get a link for you
[11:00] <volviq> and delete the .kde and .gnome folders
[11:00] <Coolness> ubuntu__, Yeah i could.
[11:01] <Coolness> Thanks for the tip
[11:01] <h-dee> Coolness: Check this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 Scroll a bit below, and you'll see WPA-PSK method (says to install some utility). You may give it a shot.

[11:02] <wrd> dreamwalk: you haven't described your issue yet? try to keep your questions on one line ... otherwise it's hard to follow.
[11:03] <chipmonk_> how do i delete a line from the places menu?
[11:03] <Coolness> h-dee, The guide says to verify that my wireless network device is working by doing "iwlist scan"
[11:03] <wrd> dreamwalk: is the signal quality ok? what kind of wifi card do you use? does the log show anything?
[11:03] <dreamwalk> wireless connection is connecting, but is booted after a few minutes and then will not connect again till reboot
[11:03] <Coolness> h-dee, since mine isn't working how can i proceed?
[11:03] <Coolness> :(
[11:04] <Guest22616> how do i run xrdp there is no menu
[11:04] <dreamwalk> Yes, signal is fin, im dual booted with windows, and it's a belkin n wireless usb adapter
[11:04] <dreamwalk> that's why I can't post error reports really..

[11:06] <Coolness> rww, lol i typed /msg h-dee
[11:06] <Coolness> that should deliver it just to him?
[11:06] <jrib> Coolness: your client probably sent the first line just to him, the rest to this channel
[11:06] <rww> Coolness: presumably the first line of text did. then it hit the newline and started a new line not in PM
[11:06] <Myrtti> Coolness: you could use pastebin
[11:06] <Coolness> Sorry.
[11:06] <Coolness> I understand.

[11:08] <r00t4rd3d> dreamwalk, what type of security on router ?
[11:08] <dreamwalk> WEP
[11:08] <r00t4rd3d> ahh did you ever get the chipset of that card ?
[11:08] <alexander> hi
[11:09] <KrisDouglas> Hello, is there a way to preserve the sound volume on the system between reboots? My machine is deafening every time it start.s
[11:09] <wrd> dreamwalk: then do a tail -f /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages /var/log/dmesg - afterwards try to connect to your router and see if any new messages arrive in these files.
[11:09] <alexander> i can't write in my home dir
[11:09] <gschwepp> StaRetji: no problem :) youre welcome. hf with your box
[11:09] <alexander> it's says that owner is root
[11:09] <StaRetji> gschwepp: thx ;)
[11:09] <dreamwalk> like, the drivers and such are installed, but im not sure what you mean by chipset
[11:10] <r00t4rd3d> alexander, you have to change to root and reset the owner to your user
[11:10] <r00t4rd3d> or make a new user
[11:10] <r00t4rd3d> and delete your old one
[11:10] <gschwepp> alexander: sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /home/yourusername
[11:10] <KrisDouglas> i.e use sudo and chown -R to reown all of the files to you
[11:10] <gschwepp> alexander: -R right
[11:11] <dreamwalk> r00t4rd3d may I message you , since you seem to knwo about my problem?
[11:11] <alexander> yep
[11:11] <alexander> mmm ICEauthority error
[11:11] <r00t4rd3d> dreamnid, you need to find the chipset of that card before anyone can do anything
[11:11] <r00t4rd3d> i can tell you how to get it
[11:12] <r00t4rd3d> lspci in a terminal
[11:12] <r00t4rd3d> the last line
[11:12] <wrd> dreamwalk: basically the quality of wifi drivers varies alot in linux, and if you have got a chipset thats not very well supported you might see connection loss.
[11:12] <r00t4rd3d> will be something like this 05:05.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
[11:12] <dreamwalk> ok. , I'll go try and get my chipset. I'll be back, thanks for the lead
[11:13] <r00t4rd3d> dreamnid, err its usb right ? so the command will be
[11:13] <r00t4rd3d> lsusb
[11:13] <r00t4rd3d> to get the chipset
[11:13] <dreamwalk> Ok, thanks!
[11:13] <alexander> well, thnks

[11:22] <bazhang> !resetpanels > tristan3199us1
[11:22] <honeypot> I used to have network manager running and connecting to my wireless networks in reboot even if I didn't log in... why isn't the case anymore, I guess since last kernel update?
[11:22] <Juelz_Santana> shit it is too, no one listen to me NYMORE
[11:22] <OchoZero9> so what do i have to do to get kubuntu 11.04?
[11:22] <tristan3199us1> thanks guys
[11:23] <Juelz_Santana> wireless keyboard getting funky now too
[11:23] <Gnea> !11.04 | OchoZero9
[11:23] <OchoZero9> it's for a tablet pc, and i've read that 11.04 is better for my particular system
[11:23] <OchoZero9> better multitouch support
[11:24] <xstation> need some help with permissions from a live 10.10 here http://pastebin.com/zyg6c71X
[11:24] <Gnea> OchoZero9: regardless, #ubuntu+1 is where you should be asking about it
[11:24] <OchoZero9> ahh
[11:24] <gschwepp> xstation: use root instead of admin
[11:25] <OchoZero9> ty
[11:25] <Gnea> xstation: yeah, make sure you are referring to the correct username as well as using ls correctly, like this: ls -l
[11:25] <linux_direction> Hello again room : ) im not sure if this is the place to ask this question. but is debian5 linux/os able to be upgraded to to ubuntu 10.10?
[11:26] <Gnea> linux_direction: no, they are 2 mutully exclusive distributions
[11:26] <Gnea> *mutually
[11:26] <honeypot> I used to have network manager running and connecting to my wireless networks in reboot even if I didn't log in... why isn't the case anymore, I guess since last kernel update?
[11:26] <linux_direction> oh Okay. i get that. thanks Gnea : )
[11:26] <Gnea> linux_direction: you could backup /home and port it from one distribution to another, but beyond that, no :)
[11:26] <xstation> gschwepp: ok but its the adminuser i need to change , but I think I am missing something, can you give me the line please
[11:27] <Gnea> xstation: as gschwepp said, it's root, not admin
[11:27] <linux_direction> Wow. thats amazing. thanks Gnea. i will have to remember that tip. : )
[11:27] <quiescens> xstation: maybe start with what you're trying to do, rather than asking what's wrong with the commands you're using to try to do.. whatever it is you're trying to do
[11:27] <gschwepp> xstation: sudo chown -R root:root /your/path/to/folder
[11:28] <gschwepp> xstation: replace root:root for any user you wanna give rights to this folder  an all its subfolders
[11:28] <Gnea> or sudo chown -R root.root /your/path/to/folder
[11:28] <Gnea> xstation: note that "root:root" and "root.root" refers to "user:group"
[11:29] <jrib> or... chown -R root: /your/path/to/folder
[11:29] <gschwepp> Gnea: this seems to be old writing man page says as well user:group
[11:29] <Gnea> gschwepp: indeed
[11:31] <ychaouche> Hello, I can't find the manual page for whois. How can I install manual pages for particular commands ?
[11:32] <xstation> gshwepp: ok thanks I trying to rescue data on my mac   but i need to change the permissions in the osx dir so i can copy file to a another medium here is the dir  http://pastebin.com/K5cSFV5c
[11:35] <gschwepp> xstation: so ? and you want the permission for which user?
[11:37] <tristan3199us1> can somebody explain what gtk+, and qt are.. or where i should look for that info on my own..
[11:37] <notsgnik> hello, since i'm using ubuntu 10.10 i have issues with suround , every time rythmbox go to the next song audio go to stereo i have to change the sond preference to get him fill the 6 chanels again every time. it was working perfectly on ubuntu 10.04 :/
[11:37] <gschwepp> tristan3199us1: Google?! :)
[11:38] <tristan3199us1> what do i google.. just the letters gtk and qt
[11:38] <honeypot> I used to have network manager running and connecting to my wireless networks in reboot even if I didn't log in... why isn't the case anymore, I guess since last kernel update?
[11:38] <xstation> gschwepp: admin, so maybe sudo chown -R admin:admin /your/path/to/folder
[11:38] <tristan3199us1> ok.. your right.. google has results..
[11:38] <xstation> not a folder its a user
[11:39] <rww> tristan3199us1: they're graphical toolkits. In short, a program says "I want a button that's this big with this text on it", and GTK or Qt figures out what that button looks like, where it goes, etc.
[11:40] <Guest57373> hi
[11:40] <Guest57373> is there one??
[11:40] <OchoZero9> Hello
[11:40] <OchoZero9> is there any guest out there??
[11:40] <OchoZero9> j/k
[11:41] <HoZsi> Pici bruder ikonia bruder ola!
[11:41] <gschwepp> !ask | Guest57373
[11:41] <tristan3199us1> i see.. so its not important to have certain ones.. its just what i want to look at..
[11:41] <HoZsi> Hozsanna nektek dicsoseges tesvereim
[11:41] <tristan3199us1> is that what gnome is also..
[11:43] <skiing> Saudações... O miniaplicativo indicador do som parou de funcionar, alguém sabe o que pode estar acontecendo?
[11:44] <AdvoWork> is there a way I can scan for all active ip addresses between say 192.168.1.1 and 1.250? from the terminal? i tried using knmap but its taking ages, looking for something to just ping all ips?
[11:44] <datacrusher> !pt skiing,
[11:44] <datacrusher> !pt | skiing
[11:45] <skiing> Thanks, sorry.
[11:45] <datacrusher> but dont be shy to shoot your question here in english, most likely to get help here than in the pt channel
[11:46] <Guest57373> so many people
[11:46] <Guest57373> are you talk about ubuntu
[11:46] <dkmi> AdvoWork, by pinging your broadcast, ping 192.168.1.255 for example
[11:46] <skiing> Ok...
[11:46] <Guest57373> ?
[11:46] <skiing> my applet sound stopped working, does anyone know what happened?
[11:47] <h-dee> skiing: Try changing hardware profiles in Sound preferences.
[11:49] <Guest57373> is anyone from china?
[11:49] <skiing> When I click on System>Preferences>Sound ... I see the msg: waiting for response from the audio system.
[11:49] <skiing> And nothings happens
[11:49] <skiing> nothing *
[11:50] <h-dee> skiing: Tried restarting?
[11:50] <skiing> How do I do this?
[11:51] <h-dee> skiing: I mean restarting your system.
[11:51] <skiing> Hmm... yes
[11:52] <skiing> this problem started a few days ago
[11:52] <h-dee> skiing: after any specific update?
[11:53] <skiing> I made some updates, on System> Administration> Update Manager
[11:54] <skiing> And I downloaded the codec for mp3
[11:54] <skiing> only this
[11:55] <Dreamwalk> Hey guys, told you I would be back!
[11:55] <h-dee> skiing: try PulseAudio, and see if it works.
[11:55] <Dreamwalk> wrt , I think I may have solved my issue
[11:55] <h-dee> skiing: Its an app. Download it from Software Center.
[11:55] <rugwiro> hello every body
[11:56] <Dreamwalk> r00t4rd3d , I tried to find the chipset that you said I would need
[11:56] <skiing> Ok... But the icon will appear in the panel?
[11:56] <iDope> I have some messed up permissions for a folder, ls -alh shows this:
[11:57] <iDope> d?????????  ? ?    ?       ?                ? network-shares
[11:57] <rugwiro> i  want to install c++ compiler in ubuntu which one would you recommend me to install??
[11:57] <h-dee> skiing: Is the icon missing?
[11:57] <Dreamwalk> but, it was reading my usb drive(which has the wireless drivers on it) So,
[11:57] <skiing> No.. But it doesn't work
[11:57] <rumpel__> rugwiro, gcc (?)
[11:57] <Dreamwalk> I took it out an d it *seems* to be working :) Thanks for the help (next step: go full ubuntu install)
[11:58] <neodemi> hi, does anyone know if i can unformat a usb flash drive in ubuntu
[11:58] <rugwiro> gcc
[11:58] <rumpel__> neodemi, un-format? ... there are some recovery-tools...
[11:58] <h-dee> skiing: The important thing is to first make sure that whether sound works with PulseAudio. It do have an applet but its a bit more advanced.
[11:58] <rugwiro> so i should install it with sudo apt-get install gcc??
[11:59] <neodemi> rumpel__, it was formatted in windows, and about a quarter of the space on it has been used up again
[11:59] <wrd> neodemi: try foremost
[11:59] <skiing> Yes.. the PulseAudio works
[11:59] <skiing> but the icon doesn't ;/
[12:00] <wrd> neodemi: it's not exactly unformating, but it tries to recover data thats still available. asuming you've got a fat on it, the data is probably still there just but it's scrambled because the fat is missing.
[12:00] <h-dee> skiing: Try to remove the Sound icon applet, and then reload it.
[12:00] <linux_direction> Gnea. when you told me i could port my /home. is that the term used for transfer?
[12:00] <Zarq> hi, is this the right channel to ask a question about vi/ex, or is there a better channel for that
[12:00] <Zarq> ?
[12:01] <h-dee> !ask | Zarq
[12:01] <gosevan> I'm running Apache2 on ubuntu, i was learning website development. Now the site runs fine on localhost. Whenever i access it through a remote location, the site opens, however the links do not work, they have been assigned with localhost,  eg. href="localhost/whatever.htm". What do i do?
[12:01] <gosevan> I'm not sure what to search for on google as well. Pls help
[12:01] <iDope> how to I mark a filesystem to be checked on reboot?
[12:02] <iDope> as in via fsck?
[12:02] <h-dee> gosevan: Did you manually configured the links in the website?
[12:03] <gosevan> h-dee: yes, i set the links something like http://localhost/xyz
[12:03] <sacarlson> gosevan: well for one you could use relitive addressing
[12:03] <neodemi> thanks wrd, will give that a go
[12:03] <imagine> where is recommended place to install programs from source?
[12:03] <skiing> h-dee: I don't have the applet on the list
[12:03] <imagine> like what shoud I use for --prefix ideally?
[12:04] <h-dee> gosevan: thats the main problem. You have to either set those links in a relative fashion or using your machine IP instead of localhost. If your machine is recognized with a domain name, use that.
[12:04] <wrd> iDope: why do you want to do that? you could lower the check counter or the date so it thinks it needs to check
[12:04] <Zarq> Right. I'm currently remaking some old exams, and I need to, in ex, change all numbers to their equivalent letter. So 0 to a, b to 1,... This is no work at all using tr, but I have to use vi (because there are some commentary lines that can't be changed). I tried 1,$v/^#/!tr '[0123456789]' '[zyxwvutsrq]' but that didn't work, it expected input from the keyboard. Anybody know a solution?
[12:04] <h-dee> skiing: The name of the applet is Indicator Applet (there are few), try loading them one by one.
[12:04] <gosevan> sacarlson: hm. I'll check how that's done, any links on how-to?
[12:04] <Zarq> *1 to b, not b to 1
[12:04] <iDope> well I just need to check my / directory and I can't unmount it while in runlevel 5
[12:05] <amit> in firestarter, what does recieved and sent option under Network tells us?
[12:05] <gosevan> h-dee: I have dynamic ip. Was just learning, so haven't bought myself a domain
[12:05] <linux_direction> this might be a silly question for this room. but does ubuntu use that "xorg" video thingy?
[12:05] <iDope> so I either need to force an fsck or remount / in read only mode
[12:05] <h-dee> gosevan: Dynamic IP don't work that good in such scenarios. :D
[12:05] <Ileden> Is there a way to pair a bluetooth device with so that the device is given a specific pairing key? Note: I'm not talking about the pairing code that the user types during pairing process, but the randomly generated pairing key that is then used to encrypt all traffic (which can be found in /var/lib/bluetooth/[devicemac]/linkkeys)?
[12:05] <skiing> h-dee: It's done. But, doesn't work
[12:06] <iDope> linux_direction, yes ubuntu uses that xorg video thingy
[12:06] <www> Hi. I want to fire up nautilus, thunderbird and firefox using one command. I want them to be executed in the same order, so I 'nautilus && thunderbird && firefox-4.0'. The problem is the the first two parts (nau,tb) work as they should be and the ff opens as I close tb. What am I doing wrong?
[12:06] <h-dee> gosevan: go for relative links then.
[12:06] <psycho_oreos> linux_direction, xorg is the GUI server
[12:06] <wrd> iDope: in Ext2/3 (don't know about ext4) you would use tune2fs to set these values.
[12:06] <iDope> almost all linux distributions use that
[12:06] <linux_direction> thanks iDope. thanks psycho_oreos. : )
[12:06] <iDope> wrd: thanks, looking into this
[12:06] <gosevan> h-dee ya searching on how to do that. Are there any settings on apache2 to make it understand where to direct the links to?
[12:06] <h-dee> skiing: very unfortunate buddy. Let me see if I can find anything else related to that.
[12:07] <h-dee> gosevan: http://www.extropia.com/tutorials/web_design/relative_absolute_links.html
[12:07] <skiing> h-dee: I will also look too. After i get back. Thanks anyway
[12:07] <linux_direction> iDope. psycho_oreos. does that mean it has the "vesa" thing option also?
[12:08] <h-dee> skiing: :-) sure buddy!
[12:08] <www> I want to fire up nautilus, thunderbird and firefox using one command. I want them to be executed in the same order, so I 'nautilus && thunderbird && firefox-4.0'. The problem is the the first two parts (nau,tb) work as they should be and the ff opens as I close tb. What am I doing wrong?
[12:08] <gschwepp> www: maybe try & and not &&
[12:09] <psycho_oreos> linux_direction, vesa is a video card driver option, yes it comes as standard in case there's no alternative drivers that have their own support but can comply with vesa framework
[12:09] <h-dee> skiing: which ubuntu version?
[12:09] <www> gschwepp: Could you explain the difference?
[12:09] <rocket16> Is therea a way to import python values in shell? I mean, I need to invoke festival from python using os.system, and use it to read aloud some numbers from python
[12:09] <gosevan> h-dee: Ah, that was simple. Thanks :D
[12:09] <h-dee> gschwepp: www: & is used to make a process run as a background process. && is used to lineage processes.
[12:10] <linux_direction> oh Okay thanks again psycho_oreos. how can i access these video options, during installation.
[12:10] <linux_direction> ?
[12:10] <h-dee> gosevan: Good Luck with that. :-)
[12:10] <gschwepp> ty h-dee , doesnt && waits until first process is done?
[12:10] <rocket16> Like when a=12 in python, os.system('echo "Hello",a | festival --tts') it causes festival to say "Hello, a" in place of "Hello 12".
[12:10] <WindowEd> a propos of netboot... I am reading the tutorial and downloaded and installed tftp32 but do I have to install it on the machine I wish to make the netboot with  or on another machine to act as a server?
[12:11] <pw-toxic> do you need drivers for usb 3.0?
[12:11] <NeoCicak> hi all... i'm using 10.10 64 bit... quite often gnome starts without the theme properly loaded. e.g. the desktop panels are not themed, etc.... anyone experienced this before?
[12:11] <iDope> linux_direction, vesa is always used as the fallback if no other better drivers are found for your video hardware
[12:11] <h-dee> gschwepp: I think & should be used along with && like nautilus && thunderbird & && firefox.
[12:11] <iDope> you dont get to set them while installing
[12:11] <h-dee> gschwepp: this should make thunderbird run as a bg process, and so gives room for FF.
[12:12] <www> h-dee: Will try that out. Thank you.
[12:12] <iDope> but you can however change what driver is used by configuring it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:12] <psycho_oreos> linux_direction, I personally don't think that is possible. Ubuntu afaik `autoprobes' the video chipset you have. However you can probably finetune it by making xorg dump xorg.conf file, editing it and telling xorg to load that file
[12:12] <h-dee> www: Good Luck :-)
[12:12] <linux_direction> iDope. just on what you guys have told me right now. has shed a bit of light on whats going on here.
[12:12] <lupine_85> just pass the numbers as command-line arguments ?
[12:12] <lupine_85> or, my favourite trick, create a named pipe and use that for IPC#
[12:13] <gaurang> hey
[12:13] <gschwepp> h-dee: ty for explanation :)
[12:13] <www> h-dee: won't work - syntax error.
[12:13] <wrd> rocket16: thats basically the wrong channel but system with a single quoted string will not expand a ... you should instead create the string you want to create and THEN call system , you might also look if there are actually festival libraries for python? try foobar="echo \"Hello".append(a).append("\"| festival --tts") os.system(foobar)
[12:14] <NeoCicak> hi all... i'm using 10.10 64 bit... quite often gnome starts without the theme properly loaded. e.g. the desktop panels are not themed, etc.... anyone experienced this before?
[12:15] <h-dee> www: try this:  nautilus; thunderbird &; firefox; (make sure you enter correct executable file names)
[12:16] <imagine> Anyone here know much about configuring apache from source?
[12:16] <www> h-dee: Does this command determinates order? I need ff to be started as a last one.
[12:16] <linux_direction> i am wanting to leave win and come to lin. so i am totally new to the linux scene. and i have tried a few flavours. i had a play with puppy and DSL. they seemed to do the same thing as (as debian and ubuntu) when detecting the video capabilities. but with puppy for eg. it allowed me to select vesa. and this managed to pick up my video card. where ubu and deb. doesn't allow me the option to select vesa. and the install contiues. but wit
[12:17] <linux_direction> i lose the screen.
[12:17] <andrew_> hi there
[12:18] <h-dee> www: Not sure about that. && do that for sure, but I don't seem to find why it gave syntax error. Let me try on mine.
[12:18] <www> h-dee: syntax error
[12:18] <www> ok thx for trying. going to #debian
[12:18] <www> bye
[12:20] <stevecam> i am having a reoccuring problem where i click on a folder and it opens the folder up in a media player
[12:20] <NeoCicak> hi all... i'm using 10.10 64 bit... quite often gnome starts without the theme properly loaded. e.g. the desktop panels are not themed, etc.... anyone experienced this before?
[12:22] <h-dee> NeoCicak: try running Compiz command, and see if it changes anything?
[12:22] <NeoCicak> h-dee: mmm... and what is the command??
[12:22] <NeoCicak> mmm.. not really.... it doesnt work
[12:22] <h-dee> Hit Alt+F2 and just type 'compiz'
[12:22] <NeoCicak> h-dee: it doesnt work :(
[12:23] <NeoCicak> h-dee: still the same
[12:23] <linux_direction> psycho_oreos. can i prvt u? or you me?
[12:23] <NeoCicak> h-dee: it says "starting gtk-window-decorator"... and nothing happens
[12:23] <h-dee> NeoCicak: please elaborate a bit more. I used to have compiz problem only.
[12:23] <psycho_oreos> linux_direction, why?
[12:24] <NeoCicak> h-dee: well.. something happens... its that i lost all of the window border, etc... i cant move my windows now
[12:24] <linux_direction> i wasnt sure if you caught my response to your last reply to me?
[12:25] <linux_direction> was juz gunna paste it in a private window. as to not to disturb the room.
[12:25] <linux_direction> thats all.
[12:25] <h-dee> NeoCiacak: Seems like a strange problem. Compiz is the window manager used by default, and if that doesn't reolve the issue, it might be something else. Let me see.
[12:25] <BoxZilla> hi i borked my sudo.orig file by trying to edit the the path for gem http://pastebin.com/7wK3y4FW
[12:25] <psycho_oreos> linux_direction, ahh wait I didn't catch what you said last as you didn't highlight my nick, hang on lemme scroll back my IRC buffer
[12:26] <BoxZilla> is there anyways to correct this tragedy ?
[12:26] <NeoCicak> h-dee: yeah... its really strange... this happens randomly.... sometimes everything works ok (panel loaded correctly, etc)... but sometimes they are not... by 'not themed properly' i meant its just plain grey
[12:26] <linux_direction> yeah i realized that psycho_oreos.
[12:26] <rumpel__> BoxZilla, use su (?)
[12:26] <BoxZilla> not there
[12:26] <linux_direction> i was waiting. and wondering should i re post it. this time with your nick but thought i might make the room annoyed.
[12:26] <ikonia> sudo
[12:27] <BoxZilla> I do not have the root password
[12:27] <rumpel__> BoxZilla, then use liveCD i guess and chroot...
[12:27] <ikonia> BoxZilla: you don't need the root password for sudo
[12:27] <wrd> linux_direction: dont paste in irc you'll get kicked or delayed. use pastebins instead.
[12:27] <BoxZilla> umi am using a netbook
[12:27] <BoxZilla> nocd drive
[12:27] <ikonia> BoxZilla: you just need to use your own password with sudo
[12:27] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Just to crosscheck...please open your system monitor, and check if compiz process is running?
[12:27] <rumpel__> BoxZilla, then liveUSB :)
[12:28] <BoxZilla> eh ikonia i was referring to su
[12:28] <linux_direction> thanks wrd. how do i do that. im new to IRC as well as linux.
[12:28] <psycho_oreos> linux_direction, your message was cut off when you tried to compare puppy versus ubuntu versus debian. Ultimately ubuntu is made to make life easier without one having to manually do all this by hand, though you can always hack away at console to specify whatever you want
[12:28] <BoxZilla> rumpel no tmobile already throttled bandwidth
[12:28] <wrd> !pastebin | linux_direction
[12:28] <NeoCicak> h-dee: yeah, its running
[12:29] <rumpel__> BoxZilla, any linux-cd available?
[12:29] <BoxZilla> no
[12:29] <BoxZilla> not at all
[12:29] <rumpel__> BoxZilla, no sudo.. no su... well... sounds bad :/
[12:29] <h-dee> NeoCicak: okay! just give it a try...kill it and run it again as specified earlier.
[12:29] <BoxZilla> yeah
[12:30] <linux_direction> uummmm.ok wrd and ubottu. so then what would be the difference if i pasted. or retyped it word for word?
[12:30] <linux_direction> none i think.
[12:30] <NeoCicak> h-dee : still the same... themes are not loaded properly... :(
[12:31] <h-dee> NeoCicak: :-(
[12:31] <BuayaOnline> BoxZilla: how about booting to single user session?
[12:31] <linux_direction> and psycho_oreos. well im not sure you got the gist of my reply.
[12:31] <psycho_oreos> linux_direction, generally there's a rule against pasting more than maybe 3 lines of text within this channel. It is to prevent anti-flooding
[12:31] <h-dee> NeoCicak: would it be possible for you to send a screenshot?
[12:31] <psycho_oreos> linux_direction, I guess part of it I sort of understood
[12:31] <wrd> linux_direction: uhm if you use enter as punctuation and paste in irc, if you post more than 5 or 10 lines per second. you'll be kicked of the server, and this is called flooding. if you use pastebins all the text is stored at a webserver and you post a single link. ps: reading the guidelines helps(in the topic)
[12:31] <BoxZilla> BuayaOnline: I a,tje single user on this netbook
[12:31] <NeoCicak> h-dee : where can i send it to?
[12:31] <BoxZilla> am*
[12:31] <h-dee> NeoCicak: mail me?
[12:32] <rww> !imagebin
[12:32] <waza-ari> Hey all, is it possible to convert an mkv (x264) video to divx hd? My camera produces x264, but my tv only plays divs directly
[12:32] <linux_direction> oh Okay. i understand the why's i guess. i just find it funny that if i was to retype what i asked the last time. that there's no difference in pasting or retyping. so is it more of a case of not using to many lines to ask the question?
[12:33] <NeoCicak> h-dee: http://imagebin.org/130920
[12:33] <NeoCicak> h-dee: you can see that the window borders are dark grey... but the desktop panel is not.... when the theme is loaded properly, the colour should be similar to the window border
[12:33] <linux_direction> or is there a difference(inside the computer) and on this IRC server, between a retype and a paste(ctrl-v)
[12:33] <linux_direction> ?
[12:33] <BoxZilla> so is there actually anything I can do to restore my sudo file]
[12:34] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Yes i can see. It doesn't look like a compiz issue. let me check.
[12:34] <Callum__> linux_direction: uhh, if they are the same word for word, no
[12:34] <linux_direction> techniquely? i mean?
[12:34] <psycho_oreos> linux_direction, basically yes, don't type too many lines within a certain amount of time frame
[12:34] <smallkoala> miximixi
[12:34] <wrd> linux_direction: you should use pastebins and paste your stuff there. thats a huge difference?
[12:35] <rumpel__> BoxZilla, don't think so ... even if you have a copy, you don't have the necessary rights
[12:35] <scorchgeek> hmm. I have a really weird issue--I can't unlock the workstation with my password, the computer doesn't accept it. But at the initial login screen, it takes passwords just fine. I already tried changing my password, trying both the old and new passwords there. Anyone else had something similar, maybe?
[12:36] <linux_direction> oh Okay. thanks Callum__. and thanks psycho_oreos and word. i will learn to use the pastebin. and thanks for helping me get a better understanding on how to conduct myself. cheers guys.
[12:37] <psycho_oreos> linux_direction, pastebin is really handy for large pastes that normally shouldn't go into IRC for example. This is to prevent flooding.. like for example if I were to tell you to send me a copy of your dmesg output, that contains at minimum 300 lines. To paste all that directly into channel would attract 1405 or so users with un-necessary/unrelated to their topic or queries' paste and hence deemed bad
[12:38] <Creepy> hello
[12:38] <guampa> psycho_oreos: may i add it also is an amazing waste of bandwith
[12:39] <linux_direction> oh Okay. i do understand the why(s). and appreciate them. thanks psycho_oreos. and wrd sorry. i missed your pvt.
[12:39] <psycho_oreos> guampa, yup if one is on restricted/smaller bandwidth as well :)
[12:39] <Creepy> I recently installed Maverick via ubuntu and then decided to move wubi install to a real partition
[12:39] <Creepy> oops, typo
[12:39] <Creepy> via wubi
[12:39] <JyZyXEL> how do you reassemble a raid-5 that had 2 device drop-out?
[12:40] <Creepy> I've used lvpm, everything was copied, but menu entry in GRUB doesn't work
[12:40] <guampa> psycho_oreos: not only if you are on a smaller bandwith, it's 1500 times the same thing versus one
[12:41] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Did you tried to load any other themes recently?
[12:41] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Do 1 thing, download gconf-editor
[12:41] <NeoCicak> h-dee: yeah... without any success either
[12:41] <psycho_oreos> guampa, though thankfully in channels like this, there's anti-flood mechanisms in place to prevent excessive flooding
[12:42] <NeoCicak> h-dee: i run it just now..
[12:42] <guampa> psycho_oreos: yup
[12:42] <h-dee> NeoCicak: The tool gconf-editor lets you customize each and every aspect of your screen. Download it, and see if it can get you those settings back.
[12:43] <NeoCicak> h-dee: hmmm ... which entry should i check ?
[12:43] <h-dee> Apps - > Panel -> toplevel
[12:46] <AdvoWork> hi there, i needed to rename an account on an ubuntu machine, the user was called say UserA, i needed to rename this to UserNEW but also so when userNEW logs on, it goes to /home/userNEW etc. I did:  sudo usermod -l l usernew usera  which worked, but if i go id usernew it shows:  uid=1001(usernew) gid=1002(userA)  any ideas how I can finish this off and get it working correctly?
[12:46] <foofoobar> HI
[12:46] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Try one more thing...right-click on top panel and go to properties, and then Background. Let me know what its set to?
[12:46] <foofoobar> I'm trying to connect to my server via ssh. When I'm connected I'm asked for the password. I type the password, press enter and then nothing happens
[12:46] <NeoCicak> h-dee: None (use system theme)
[12:46] <foofoobar> What can I do now?
[12:47] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Okay!
[12:50] <wrd> foofoobar: you can have a look at the server where sshd logs its messages to and then open the log file with tail -f and log on and look what sshd produces.
[12:50] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Open this file: gksu gedit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/gnome-panel.rc
[12:50] <wrd> foofoobar: maybe you can raise the loglevel of sshd to get more messages
[12:50] <BuayaOnline> foofoobar: maybe by adding -v on your ssh command will help you to debug your issue... (e.g: ssh -v <hostname>)
[12:51] <NeoCicak> h-dee: ok
[12:51] <h-dee> NeoCicak: is this SET           bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "img/panel.png"
[12:51] <foofoobar> wrd, the last lines are:
[12:51] <foofoobar> root@myserver's password:
[12:51] <foofoobar> debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).
[12:51] <foofoobar> debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
[12:51] <foofoobar> debug1: Entering interactive session.
[12:51] <FloodBot4> foofoobar: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:51] <foofoobar> now nothing happens
[12:52] <NeoCicak> h-dee: yes
[12:52] <wrd> !pastebin | foofoobar
[12:53] <testi_> Is there a tool for the gnome desktop that can be used to find files? one that is able to execute search queries like: all pdf documents, or: all pdf and word documents that contain 'ab', with without case sensitivity etc.?
[12:53] <wrd> foofoobar: are you allowing root to login via ssh?
[12:53] <foofoobar> wrd, yes
[12:53] <foofoobar> Normaly it works.. But now - and I dont know why - it doesnt..
[12:53] <h-dee> NeoCicak: I'll send you version of my file, run the diff command on your file, and the one I send, and see if it points out differences.
[12:53] <foofoobar> I cant connect to the machine and look at the logs. Should I reset it?
[12:54] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Open the terminal and run the 'diff' command with your file (complete path), and my file as arguments.
[12:54] <wrd> foofoobar: can't you just attach a monitor and look at it ? (if it doesn't work via ssh)
[12:54] <waza-ari> Hey all, is it possible to convert an mkv (x264) video to divx hd? My camera produces x264, but my tv only plays divs directly from harddisk...
[12:55] <foofoobar> wrd, no, the server is placed in a data center
[12:55] <NeoCicak> h-dee: mmm can you send me the file again? i dont know where i store the file >.<
[12:55] <foofoobar> wrd, I cant reset it via remote.. so I think it is the only thing I can do now..
[12:55] <NeoCicak> h-dee: thx
[12:55] <foofoobar> I can connect via a "remote serial console", but there I cant login, too
[12:55] <BuayaOnline> foofoobar: you can increase verbose level by using -vv or -vvv
[12:55] <NeoCicak> h-dee: no difference :(
[12:56] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Very Unfortunate. :-(
[12:56] <foofoobar> wrd, BuayaOnline: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550208/
[12:56] <foofoobar> I think I have to reset now :/
[12:57] <wintyx> ээээ
[12:57] <h-dee> NeoCicak: By the way, changing background under Panel properties, makes any difference?
[12:57] <wintyx> хелп
[12:57] <NeoCicak> h-dee: yeah
[12:57] <mihhdu> hey, is there any way i can make upstart output more verbose at the start of ubuntu ? i want to see more of what services are starting and so on
[12:57] <m_fulder> hey
[12:58] <m_fulder> I would like to move all files with same extension to another folder when I download them from internet is that possible?
[12:58] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Talking about an unconventional method, try changin to some other background property, apply it, and then back to same, to see if works.
[12:58] <wintyx> чё все бегают то?

[13:01] <h-dee> NeoCicak: do you have problem running nautilus?
[13:01] <wrd> foofoobar: sorry that could be almost anything...
[13:01] <NeoCicak> h-dee: i'm not even sure what nautilus is
[13:01] <foofoobar> wrd, okay.. I reset the machine now and have a look at the logs..
[13:01] <NeoCicak> h-dee: is that the file explorer?
[13:01] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Its a File Explorer.
[13:02] <h-dee> NeoCicak: yes
[13:02] <NeoCicak> h-dee: if so... then not.... i dont have any problem, except that it is not themed properly
[13:02] <h-dee> NeoCicak: ok!
[13:03] <h-dee> NeoCicak: How about...reinstalling GNOME?
[13:03] <NeoCicak> h-dee: hmmm i killed gnome-settings-daemon, and re-run it again... and everything is themed properly
[13:03] <NeoCicak> h-dee: that sounds scarry
[13:04] <h-dee> NeoCicak: gnome-settings-daemon. Let me see what's it linked to exactly.
[13:05] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Yes reinstalling scary, and I would think more than twice before doing that. LOL!
[13:07] <slipttees> ubuntu 11.04 goin' gnome 3?

[13:07] <BuayaOnline> h-dee: reinstall gnome is veryyy scary for me... how about try to delete all .file/directory that related to gnome in your home directory? it's polite way, i guess..
[13:07] <psycho_oreos> !11.04| slipttees
[13:08] <h-dee> NeoCicak: don't delete. Rename it. Follow this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=395456 Post by elretripos
[13:09] <maxo> hi
[13:09] <maxo> I'm trying to sync two directories with rsync, but it's copying across everything, even files that are still the same. How come?
[13:09] <slipttees> psycho_oreos: kkkkkkkk, so, thx
[13:09] <slipttees> =]
[13:09] <h-dee> NeoCicak: rename makes sure it stays in case you got to revert to old if new ones do not work out.
[13:09] <NeoCicak> h-dee: i did that before... and the problem came back again
[13:10] <maxo> if I then cancel it, and start it again, it will pick up where it left off (ie. not copy those files it's already just copied across) but it still continues to copy across all the other files, including files that are already at the destination
[13:10] <h-dee> NeoCicak: seems like a pretty stubborn issue...LOL!
[13:10] <maxo> I'm very confused, is this normal behaviour for rsync?
[13:10] <NeoCicak> h-dee: yeah
[13:12] <foofoobar> wrd, after reseting the sshd refused any connection
[13:13] <foofoobar> wrd, I had a look at the boot process via the remote serial console:
[13:14] <foofoobar> http://paste.ubuntu.com/550211/
[13:14] <h-dee> NeoCicak: BUMP! Sorry buddy gotta go now. :-( Its gettings late for me now.
[13:14] <NeoCicak> h-dee: its ok... thanks for the helps!
[13:14] <arthur_> hello
[13:15] <Pici> maxo: What rsync arguments are you using?
[13:15] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Unfortunately couldn't help more. Good Luck with this. Ciao!
[13:15] <baibu> i need to reinstall linux-image-genericc and i got troubles mounting the hdd virtual fs
[13:16] <maxo> Pici: rsync -r -t -v --progress --delete --modify-windows=1  (I've also tried without --modify-windows with the same results - it's just the source is a fat32 fs)
[13:16] <wrd> foofoobar: I don't see *any* ssh message in the boot log? upstart is really non-verbose these days. i suppose you aren't sure now if sshd is running, right ?
[13:17] <foofoobar> wrd, yes..
[13:17] <foofoobar> I'm also on the rmeote console now, but there appears no login .. just the startup messages
[13:17] <foofoobar> normaly I press enter and then I can login, but I cant
[13:18] <foofoobar> just a new empty lines appears when pressing enter
[13:18] <h-dee> NeoCicak: there?
[13:18] <wrd> foofoobar: uh - you can try to telnet to ssh port to see if it welcomes you. if it doesn't i suppose you don't have an sshd running or its firewalled?
[13:19] <foofoobar> no welcome msg..
[13:19] <foofoobar> great :(
[13:19] <h-dee> NeoCicak: Check this in case you haven't. Looks like the exact same issue. http://askubuntu.com/questions/11406/gnome-settings-daemon-doesnt-apply-themes-unless-i-kill-it-and-start-it-manuall Ciao!
[13:19] <foofoobar> I will boot in recovry mode now
[13:20] <wrd> foofoobar: i got to go so you'll be on your own again
[13:20] <foofoobar> okay, thanks for your help
[13:22] <mihhdu> hey, is there any way i can make upstart output more verbose at the start of ubuntu ? i want to see more of what services are starting and so on
[13:23] <Pici> maxo: Looks like this is a weird problem with using rsync over fat32. You may want to take a look at using shortname=mixed as suggested here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/03/msg00955.html
[13:23] <Pici> maxo: This thread may also be of interest: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451684

[13:24] <WindowEd> hello all... how come quadrapassel does not work on ubuntu 10.10?
[13:25] <SuperLag> Is there some limitation that would keep me from being able to boot Ubuntu from a drive that's 2TB in size? I'm trying to create a 100GB / partition and it won't let me make it bootable.
[13:25] <lestat> yes if you have a x86_32 proc and no pae
[13:26] <psycho_oreos> SuperLag, check to see if it has bootable flag set as on. afaik there shouldn't be any, I have xubuntu 9.04 installed on 1.5TB hard drive without any partitions
[13:26] <SuperLag> It's a Core 2 Duo processor, and this is the x86_64 version of Ubuntu 10.10
[13:26] <somethinginteres> looking for a good free book to increase my terminal foo.. any?

[13:29] <greppy> !fping
[13:30] <sugoruyo> SuperLag, while i'm not entirely sure I believe you don't need a partition that does not contain a Windows installation to be bootable
[13:30] <somethinginteres> thanks all
[13:30] <Nach0z> mrgalerien: If I might make a suggestion, wine doesn't always work the way it's supposed to... It might be a good idea to set up a VirtualBox machine for your Windows stuff.
[13:31] <mrgalerien> Nach0z It's for games, I need my GPU
[13:31] <psycho_oreos> SuperLag, what do you mean its not changing? meaning that it cannot be set as bootable?
[13:31] <cc_> ...
[13:31] <SuperLag> psycho_oreos: correct
[13:32] <SuperLag> sugoruyo: This is a machine that will only have Linux on it. Anything else will be inside a VM. But I'm trying to do an Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 install on this machine. It's running a Core 2 Duo processor, which is 64-bit capable.
[13:32] <psycho_oreos> SuperLag, it might be because there's another partition on the disk set as active partition, if none, that's weird.. I'd try another partitioning tool
[13:32] <stef_> IS ANYONE FROM ROMANIA?
[13:32] <psycho_oreos> !ro| stef_
[13:32] <AdvoWork> greppy, that worked a lot better but is there a way to only show ips that are up, rather than unreachable also?
[13:33] <greppy> AdvoWork: -a should only show alive hosts.
[13:33] <sugoruyo> SuperLag: well as I said I'm not 100% on this but I don't think you really need it in your case... also psycho_oreos suggestion might do it for you

[14:07] <allu2> the problem is that now with ubuntu 10.10 my temperature is 80°C on idle and i had to shutdown my computer when it went to 99,4°C on stress!, any ide what could cause this increasing temperature?

[14:21] <anadon> wtf?
[14:21] <Pici> anadon: er, sorry: service apache2 start
[14:21] <bencahill> mrgalerien: I noticed that if I play, e.g., an mp3 in vlc, it's fine until I start doing other resource-heavy things (like loading new pages in ff) at the same time, at which it has the same garbled sound
[14:21] <anadon> ok
[14:21] <anadon> sec
[14:22] <anadon> it's up, but 404 error
[14:22] <mrgalerien> bencahill, ok, that explains it ^^... arf I would recomand using a lighter system, not having any effect on your desktop.... stuff like that
[14:23] <chris_99> anyone know of a problem where audio only comes out of one channel
[14:23] <bencahill> mrgalerien: ok, ubuntu works fine with everything else I do, and is not too slow, it's just the garbled audio... :)
[14:24] <bencahill> mrgalerien: well I plan on getting a new system with a 1055t in the near future, so I shouldn't have any problems then :-D
[14:24] <anadon> Ok, I can reach the server 404 error through my machine name and 127.0..... but not my ip address
[14:24] <rtoo> hello. which image could I dd onto a partition so when I boot it I get into a network installation for example and finish installation to the partition?
[14:24] <mrgalerien> bencahill, if it's only audio related I can't help you sorry, but I believe that you shouldn't use vlc + firefox at the same time, too much load
[14:25] <allu2> anadon: if you have modem your ip out may lead to that modem no?
[14:25] <anadon> ya, AT&T Uverse
[14:25] <mrgalerien> bencahill, and if you want to listen to music, rhythmbox is lighter I guess
[14:25] <allu2> for me if i wrote my ip viible out i ended up in config of my modem
[14:25] <anadon> it's weird--all the computers at my home share one ip address
[14:25] <allu2> visible*
[14:25] <allu2> anadon: so you have nat?
[14:26] <anadon> nat?
[14:26] <bencahill> mrgalerien: yeah, vlc works fine, it's just that I can't play youtube videos (ff) without garbled sound. grr...
[14:26] <rtoo> bencahill: light music player? cmus! its ncurses based
[14:26] <juniour> pici every thing is set to defaut but maxamize ,minimize close etc r not commin
[14:26] <allu2> anadon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation allows you have one ip to "outside world" and multiple computers in LAN
[14:26] <bencahill> rtoo: yes, but will that play youtube? :P I don't have a problem with vlc, but ff with flashplayer
[14:27] <mrgalerien> bencahill, my only guess is that you need a lighter system or a faster processor ^^ sorry
[14:27] <juniour> pici every thing is set to defaut but maxamize ,minimize close  etc r not commin
[14:27] <rtoo> bencahill: mplayer plugin for borwser plus a greasemonkey script works great
[14:27] <juniour> any way to restore to earlier setting
[14:27] <anadon> FUUUUUUUUUU......ummm, can a server actually work with nat enabled?
[14:28] <allu2> popey: reading some forums seems problem is with 10.10 and excisted in 9.10 and seemd to be fixed in 10.04 :S
[14:28] <allu2> anadon: yeah
[14:28] <sacarlson> anadon: yes you can port forward from your router to the system you want to serve that function
[14:28] <juniour> pici help me
[14:28] <bencahill> rtoo: I shall look into that, thanks :) now off to do school :)
[14:28] <juniour> close max,min comming
[14:28] <rtoo> bencahill: btw with mplayer yoiu can play in text with the caca output
[14:29] <anadon> well, my step dad isn't going to let me touch the router configuation, let alone the password!
[14:29] <allu2> anadon: if you can get to your modems settings and find out your ip inside LAN you can setup port 80 to be redirected from your modem to our computer with the webserver, making it visible outside :)
[14:29] <allu2> anadon: darn :P
[14:29] <juniour> hey any way to restore to last setting like in windows
[14:29] <anadon> well, on to the 404 error i guess.
[14:29] <sacarlson> anadon: do you want to have access from the outside wan Internet?

[14:43] <secretary_linux> I have repeated error messages of Apparmor blocking dhcpd3 from reading the (nonexistent) file /var/lib/samba/unexpected.tdb - there is no mention of this file in /etc/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.conf so why is this occurring?
[14:43] <Sriram> marine1: Oh , sorry
[14:43] <marine1> Sriram: no I'm having problems with the sound after upgrading can you help??
[14:44] <dice4dj> 斯蒂芬斯蒂芬
[14:44] <Sriram> marine1: I think upgrading to 10.04 might help
[14:44] <Sriram> marine1: Issue might be fixed
[14:44] <marine1> Sriram: using update manager??
[14:44] <IdleOne> !cn | dice4dj
[14:44] <Sriram> marine1: Yes, update-manager -d
[14:45] <IdleOne> that is not the correct way
[14:45] <Sriram> marine1: Run that command on your terminal
[14:45] <marine1> Sriram: well i tried that for 9.10 and now i having these issues
[14:45] <Pici> marine1: Do not run that command.
[14:45] <Sriram> Pici: Why?
[14:45] <marine1> Pici: so what do you suggest
[14:45] <IdleOne> marine1: if you want to upgrade to 10.04 use the update manager in System > administration > update manager
[14:45] <Pici> Sriram, marine1: The -d switch means to upgrade to the latest Development version, Natty at this time, which is not supported.
[14:46] <IdleOne> Sriram: because the -d option is for development version
[14:46] <Sriram> IdleOne: Oh
[14:46] <marine1> IdleOne: i never stated that i wnated to upgrade just fix my sound problems
[14:46] <IdleOne> marine1: or you can download the Alternate CD and use that to upgrade
[14:46] <IdleOne> marine1: ok :)
[14:47] <marine1> IdleOne: can you help with sound issues?
[14:47] <mbn_18> What do I need to control my laptop from remote location. I want to take the active desktop and not populate a new one
[14:47] <IdleOne> marine1: check your sounds prefs, make sure everything is right for starters.
[14:47] <Sriram> mbn_18: Installing teamviewer is the best option
[14:47] <IdleOne> !vnc
[14:47] <Sriram> mbn_18: http://www.teamviewer.com
[14:48] <mbn_18> Sriram: teamviewer works on wine :(
[14:48] <marine1> IdleOne: did that already
[14:48] <Sriram> mbn_18: Linux version
[14:48] <IdleOne> mbn_18: I personally use teamviewer also (it works for me) mileage varies for other people
[14:48] <Sriram> mbn_18: Oh, yes
[14:48] <mbn_18> Sriram: last time I checked it was "for linux" but was actualy wine app
[14:48] <marine1> IdleOne: In sound preferences it doesn't list digitla only analog is that alright
[14:49] <IdleOne> marine1: I only have anologue also
[14:49] <IdleOne> so I guess it is correct
[14:49] <mbn_18> !FreeNX
[14:49] <eeeeeetr> hello
[14:50] <Sriram> mbn_18: Yes its wine app
[14:50] <eeeeeetr> hello
[14:50] <marine1> IdleOne: on 9.04 i didn't have this issues after upgrading to 9.10 now it exists
[14:50] <IdleOne> eeeeeetr: hello
[14:50] <marine1> IdleOne: i don't know if pulseaudio has been changed
[14:50] <Guest72093> .

[14:50] <Sriram> eeeeeetr, Hello\
[14:51] <IdleOne> marine1: possibly, I don't know enough about the sound system to be more helpful
[14:51] <marine1> Sriram: how about you
[14:51] <Sriram> eeeeeetr, This is only the Ubuntu support channel you can go to ubuntu-offline
[14:51] <marine1> Sriram: on the sound system do yuo have extensive knowledge
[14:51] <Sriram> maeine: No , not much
[14:52] <Sriram> marine1L No not much knowledge
[14:52] <phillyj> can someone tell me me how to find the apt line to add the CTAN repository
[14:52] <Sriram> marine1: But have fixed some issued with a previous computer
[14:53] <marine1> Sriram: no same pc after upgrade

[14:54] <marcrouse> where is logari81. I need contact (JID)
[14:54] <marine1> Sriram:  i did also on upgrading to 5.1 it worked fine now it doesn't after upgrade
[14:54] <Sriram> marcrouse: This is only the ubuntu support channel, you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:55] <marine1> Sriram: it doesn't have the same pulseaudio settings as before
[14:55] <AdvoWork> what are the thumnails in /home/user/.thumnails/normal?
[14:56] <Sriram> marine1: Oh, System>Preferences>Sound

[14:56] <marine1> Sriram: i did that already
[14:56] <Sriram> marine1: oh
[14:56] <marine1> Sriram: that's basic
[14:56] <marine1> Sriram: it's something more than that
[14:56] <marine1> Sriram: i'm getting feedback in my speakers
[14:57] <Sriram> marine1: JUst too much static
[14:57] <Sriram> marine: right?
[14:57] <marine1> Sriram: plus the settings don't allow for digital settings only analog
[14:57] <Sriram> marine1: Oh
[14:57] <marine1> Sriram: yes way to much and it sounds like crap
[14:57] <Sriram> marine1: Never encountered this issue before
[14:58] <marine1> Sriram: describe it as a radio staion not tuned in correctly
[14:58] <Sriram> marine1: Have you checked physical connection?
[14:58] <marine1> Sriram: yeah that is why i'm here bro
[14:58] <Sriram> marine1: Thoroughly

[15:09] <Geek--> so its there but i cant install the driver lol
[15:10] <tsimpson> rumpe1: please ignore the spam
[15:10] <r00t4rd3d> remove it
[15:10] <ChrisW> dajhorn: how do I find out what device is it?
[15:10] <r00t4rd3d> and try the no internet method
[15:10] <rumpe1> tsimpson, ah... ok.
[15:10] <dajhorn> ChrisW: Look in /proc/partitions for a new device or `tail /var/log/messages`.
[15:10] <nogatezfan> sriram, run that from a consel?
[15:11] <Geek--> the no internet confuses me :(
[15:11] <Sriram> nogatezfan, Yes
[15:11] <r00t4rd3d> Geek--, have you tried the b43 one ?
[15:11] <Geek--> i have internet access though as im hard wired in
[15:11] <nogatezfan> ok
[15:11] <Geek--> which b43 one?
[15:11] <nogatezfan> i will give it a shot

[15:11] <r00t4rd3d> at the bottom

[15:12] <r00t4rd3d> no there is 2 drivers on that page
[15:12] <r00t4rd3d> sta and b43
[15:12] <ignitedcoding> hey... I have altered my gedit to include some extra plugins and a different theme. When I run it as gksudo (or just sudo) however it does not pull those preferences. Where is the gksudo user dir so I can copy over my plugins? Or am I just completely misunderstanding how gksudo works?
[15:12] <sacarlson> Geek: I'm not sure this will help but http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/beginners-forum/33133-broadcom-bcm4313-wl-not-work-mon-inject.html
[15:12] <r00t4rd3d> sta is the proprietary driver from broadcom and the b43 is the open source driver
[15:13] <Geek--> trying it now r00t4rd3d  hang tight :)
[15:13] <r00t4rd3d> people have different luck with each
[15:13] <erUSUL> ignitedcoding: root's home folder is --> /root/
[15:14] <narendra> hello
[15:14] <ignitedcoding> erUSUL: is that where it pulls it from? I copied the conf directory into there and it didn't work
[15:14] <milamber> !root | ignitedcoding
[15:15] <r00t4rd3d> geek unactivate the sta driver before trying the b43
[15:15] <r00t4rd3d> in add drivers
[15:15] <Geek--> brb reboot... the sta didnt even install
[15:15] <r00t4rd3d> additional*
[15:15] <ignitedcoding> milamber: that was useless.
[15:15] <Sriram> ignitedcoding, Maybe .gedit is where you should put it, in the root dir
[15:15] <ignitedcoding> Sriram: yeah I did that
[15:15] <ignitedcoding> I got it working
[15:15] <ignitedcoding> It had access, I just had to respecify to use those plugins
[15:15] <ignitedcoding> It sees them now
[15:16] <milamber> ignitedcoding: there is no home directory for root or gksu
[15:16] <ignitedcoding> milamber: right, there is a /root and that's it
[15:16] <ignitedcoding> I knew that... I didn't need that whole bullshit poem on root passwords :)
[15:16] <r00t4rd3d> heh
[15:17] <milamber> ignitedcoding: fair enought
[15:17] <milamber> enough*
[15:17] <r00t4rd3d> i agree with that ignitedcoding

[15:17] <Geek--> hey r00t4rd3d  its still greyed out
[15:17] <Geek--> how do i get a network manager?
[15:17] <joaopinto> m_fulder, because you have a typo on your command
[15:17] <sacarlson> Geek maybe try with cli like sudo iwconfig
[15:17] <r00t4rd3d> whats greyed out ?
[15:17] <joaopinto> '*.tjpeg'
[15:18] <Geek--> my wifi card spot under the two computer screens
[15:18] <Sriram> Geek-- : Maybe you should reboot
[15:18] <Geek--> i just did
[15:18] <Sriram> Geek-- : Okay

[15:19] <phpjim> can anyone tell me why my gnome panel looks gray and lame like this screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/1r6wjd/7   versus sexy in the images here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop     running ubuntu 10.10...  have tried changing gtk2 themes but the gnome panel won't change from its current look....
[15:19] <ChrisW> dajhorn: thanks, that looks like it worked!
[15:19] <r00t4rd3d> click t hat
[15:19] <Geek--> i did
[15:19] <Geek--> enable wireless is greyed out
[15:19] <Geek--> like u cant click it
[15:19] <joaopinto> m_fulder, the syntax is : * * * * * command
[15:19] <joaopinto> what's the "root" for ?
[15:20] <dajhorn> ChrisWoollard: Welcome.
[15:20] <Sriram> phpjim, Change your theme to ambience
[15:20] <ajp26> c.net
[15:20] <sacarlson> Geek: try cli
[15:20] <Geek--> whats cli?
[15:20] <phpjim> Sriram, that changes the window titles and everything, but not the gnome panel =\
[15:20] <m_fulder> joaopinto,  should I follow this syntax? : m h dom mon dow user	command
[15:20] <sacarlson> Geek: maybe your problem is network-manager not the driver,  yes sudo iwconfig   ifconfig
[15:20] <r00t4rd3d> command line interface aka terminal
[15:21] <r00t4rd3d> i just guessed at that
[15:21] <h-dee> phpjim: I just tried solving it for one person today. Its a bug. Either you're on high processor such as core i7
[15:21] <m_fulder> joaopinto, so root is for the user
[15:21] <Sriram> phpjim: Have you tried removeing and adding the panel again?
[15:21] <h-dee> phpjim: or using NVIDIA card
[15:21] <phpjim> h-dee, indeed..  I'm high on processors babeee..
[15:21] <phpjim> h-dee, and in deed I am using an nvidia card..
[15:21] <h-dee> phpjim: kill the gnome-settings-daemon and restart it
[15:21] <sacarlson> r00t4rd3d: Geek: that's correct command line interface
[15:22] <Geek--> http://pastebin.com/LWA4u6AB
[15:22] <researcher1> How can I get guidance on Network Printer for educational institution?
[15:22] <Geek--> my iwconfig
[15:22] <joaopinto> m_fulder, you can't set the user from a regular user crontab
[15:22] <joaopinto> m_fulder, the user is only available from a special system crontab
[15:22] <r00t4rd3d> geek did you manually add your wifi card in network manager ?
[15:22] <Geek--> no
[15:22] <m_fulder> joaopinto, ah right so I should just write * * * * * command? .. done it now but still seems not to work :/
[15:22] <phpjim> h-dee, you beast..
[15:22] <wieiswie> how do i close a thread in ubuntu
[15:22] <wieiswie> or process
[15:22] <phpjim> h-dee, that worked..
[15:23] <phpjim> h-dee, I wonder why restarting never fixed the issue if that's what it took?
[15:23] <h-dee> phpjim: hey, listen...that might be temporary because its a bug.
[15:23] <dury> mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mnt/point
[15:23] <h-dee> phpjim: check http://askubuntu.com/questions/11406/gnome-settings-daemon-doesnt-apply-themes-unless-i-kill-it-and-start-it-manuall
[15:23] <r00t4rd3d> geek , right click the network icon , goto edit connections wireless
[15:23] <joaopinto> m_fulder, yes, I assume your user has write privileges on /home/ubuntu
[15:23] <r00t4rd3d> anything listed ?
[15:23] <Geek--> k done now?
[15:23] <Geek--> no
[15:23] <stymo> hi everyone, total noob question: how do I set the time before I get logged out of a session if the computer has been inactive?
[15:23] <m_fulder> joaopinto, yes I think so
[15:24] <dury> does it work in ubuntu?
[15:24] <sacarlson> Geek: ok it is showing a wlan1,  so are you trying to connect to an open unecrypted access point?
[15:24] <phpjim> h-dee, yeah.. the install of this machine was a pain..  the video card is rather tame nvidia in my opinion...  but I had video problems after the install (had to edit my grub config to get something going so I could fix the video modes)
[15:24] <Geek--> no
[15:24] <Geek--> its password
[15:24] <r00t4rd3d> wpa2 ?

[15:24] <leejongwook> Just installed Ubuntu-10.10(64) on my laptop ---> Checking battery state... [OK] ---> Not moving
[15:24] <h-dee> phpjim: maybe the next Ubuntu release will fix it. You just got to hold on to your seat for a while. :-)
[15:24] <phpjim> h-dee, and I fall into the criteria for the bug 100% (6 core i7, SSD, nvidia)
[15:24] <dajhorn> stymo:  The default Ubuntu configuration doesn't forcibly log you out.
[15:24] <Sriram> stymo: If you are inactive
[15:25] <phpjim> h-dee, dude... it's not like I planned on restarting anytime soon.. I should be good for a while
[15:25] <h-dee> phpjim: that's how I pointed out that u got high processor and NVIDIA ;-)
[15:25] <h-dee> phpjim: use hibernation :-D
[15:25] <mib_ahdy7r> Is Natty 11.04 having reported  problems with boot freeze?

[15:25] <sacarlson> Geek: ok maybe that's the problem then do you have wpasupplacant installed?   apt-get install wpasupplacant ?

[15:27] <h-dee> Soyo: try restarting compiz

[15:28] <Soyo> h-dee: compiz, ok
[15:28] <dajhorn> ubuntunoob12: What is your issue?  Just ask the question.
[15:28] <sacarlson> Geek; well I missread and confused that you said you used wpa2 but seems you use wep,  did you try turn encryption off on you access point just to test?
[15:28] <Geek--> ya
[15:28] <r00t4rd3d> is there a FN+F* key to turn wireless on/off ?
[15:28] <Geek--> sacarlson,  i dont have access to

[15:28] <jamesiarmes> I have many Ubutnu 8.04 servers that I am trying to upgrade to 10.04. I am trying to build a list of commands that I can run on every system, regardless of where it is hosted, to perform the upgrade. On ec2, after do-release-upgrade I try to restart and end up getting a maintenance shell which I of course can't access. The console log shows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550270/. I see two problems, the system can't access most of the
[15:28] <jamesiarmes>  devices, though it seems to be able to access sda fine, and libudev is throuing an error at the bottom.

[15:31] <dajhorn> ubuntunoob12:   Test your web cam with the Cheese program.  If it doesn't work with Cheese, then it won't work with Skype.
[15:31] <Sriram> xtc: Hello

[15:34] <sacarlson> Geek: I'm not sure try both with and without
[15:34] <dajhorn> ubuntunoob12:   Okay, then you probably just need to choose a different input device in the Skype options.
[15:34] <Soyo> h-dee: I am not seeing compiz I am using xfce but it also shows some gnome processes running..
[15:34] <r00t4rd3d> Geek--, try the windows key +f2

[15:35] <dajhorn> ubuntunoob12:   Close Cheese, and go to the "Video Devices" panel in Skype.  Click the "Select webcam" pulldown menu and check whether you have more than just /dev/video0 in the menu.
[15:35] <Geek--> it sees the essid now
[15:35] <Punkoff> Is there a way to get working Unity Places yet?
[15:35] <h-dee> Soyo: Sorry bud! I don't have knowledge about Xfce processes, but I'm wondering why Gnome processes are running in there. If there's a process named gnome-settings-daemon, try to kill and restart it.

[15:35] <r00t4rd3d> wait a sec

[15:36] <Soyo> h-dee that I believe there is let me try that
[15:36] <r00t4rd3d> to turn the wireless on/off in ubuntu with that laptop is windows key +f2
[15:36] <Geek--> it does nothing r00t4rd3d
[15:37] <sacarlson> Geek: try another network-manager like stagui or wicd

I am thinking the issue is not my webcam but the way I receive video from them.  I wonder if compiz is interfering with the video feed.
[15:38] <leejongwook> [*Question*] How do I by pass 'Checking bettery state' message ?
[15:38] <h-dee> ubuntunoob12: make sure you have Flash installed.
[15:38] <dajhorn> ubuntunoob12:   In the same panel, what is selected under "Automatically receive video from"...
[15:38] <Geek--> wicd doesnt even see the wifi card
[15:38] <ubuntunoob12> Ok, I'll try that

[15:38] <ubuntunoob12> thanks
[15:39] <Soyo> h-dee no gnome-settings but I did play around with killing some xfce processes to no avail. (except logging me out of the gui) I think I will just uninstall xfce, sudo apt-get remove xfce?

[15:39] <yasitha1> cpu temperature on ubuntu 10.04 any help?
[15:39] <dajhorn> ubuntunoob12:  Okay, the problem is on the far end.     The other party must actively send you a video feed by clicking the blue video button in the call.
[15:39] <h-dee> Soyo: any previous experiences with Xfce or a newbie? I like Gnome and if you're a newbie, do give it a try. :-)
[15:39] <dajhorn> ubuntunoob12:   Skype does not automatically send video by default.
[15:40] <Punkoff> Oh gods, anyone? Can't get Unity Places working on Natty!
[15:40] <sacarlson> geek: try ifconfig wlan1 up

[15:40] <ubuntunoob12> thanks
[15:40] <shentino> depends, what sort of inode are you talking about?
[15:41] <Soyo> h-dee I have used gnome before and liked it better. Netbook edition too. That's what I will replace it with when I figure out how to uninstall xfce
[15:41] <shentino> are you referring to kernel memory inodes or disc inodes?
[15:41] <dajhorn> fatius:  Look at the tune2fs program.
[15:41] <fatius> shentino: I'm running out of open disc inodes
[15:41] <ubuntunoob12> dajhorn, thank you very much!
[15:41] <sacarlson> geek: that might need to be sudo ifconfig wlan1 up

[15:42] <h-dee> Soyo: so you're a web-developer?
[15:42] <dajhorn> fatius:  Make a  backup before touching anything like inodes.   Changing this kind of thing can trash your data.

[15:45] <Anchor> I'm trying to help a friend of mine install Ubuntu 10.10 on his Dell inspiron 1545. The problem I anticipate is that when we use the "try Ubuntu" option, his wireless card is not supported. I'm under the impression that the wireless card is one of the following: Dell Wireless 1397 802.11g Mini-Card Dell Wireless 1515 Wireless-N Mini-Card Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card. Any idea on if these cards are supported through Ubuntu 10.10 or if I can download
[15:45] <Anchor> the drivers for them and just install them?

[15:46] <vampire22> anyone please. . . .
[15:46] <secretary_linux> I'm curious how various Samba and OpenVPN services- and others- handle being restarted (or reloading conf) on Ubuntu. Am I right that typically only the listening daemon process is restarted immediately and the active connections are given a chance to finish cleanly?
[15:46] <vampire22> how to change my nickname on my ubuntu?

[15:47] <Geek--> seems like no one listens to whats going on im trying to say its disabled and nothing is working but they want me to do this and and this when it doesnt work
[15:47] <dajhorn> secretary_linux:  Only the SSH process does this reliably so that you don't get dropped during an upgrade.   It is hit-and-miss for other services.
[15:47] <babuemf> good

[15:48] <dajhorn> secretary_linux:   In the Samba init script,  notice the difference between "reload" and "restart".   The reload option usually keeps active sessions open.
[15:48] <vampire22> @myrtti thankyou brad
[15:49] <Geek--> but in the network manager its GREYED out
[15:49] <Geek--> nothing seems to work :(

[15:49] <newnickname> like this?
[15:49] <newnickname> thank you myrtti

[15:49] <newnickname> am on you
[15:49] <newnickname> lol
[15:49] <secretary_linux> dajhorn: yes, although I noticed when I ran the openvpn reload, if there are active connections it seems like it actually goes ahead and does the full restart. that's what got me concerned
[15:49] <Anchor> h-dee: thanks for the advice from experience. I'm just going to install it without erasing his partitions in the event something happens.
[15:49] <phillyj> can someone help me try to add the ctan repository?; I don't know what to put for the apt-line in the pkg manager

[15:50] <Tremitos> you tell me ;)
[15:50] <vampire> myrtti yupz
[15:50] <h-dee> Soyo: Give it a go.....
[15:50] <sacarlson> geek: it does see it we see wlan1
[15:51] <dajhorn> secretary_linux:   Learn how to use `screen` and `at` if you need to change the configuration on a remote access daemon.
[15:51] <Geek--> but then why doesnt it pick up the wireless?
[15:51] <Anchor> milamber: Yeah. I just installed ubuntu on my computer yesterday because I was sick of Windows. Now I'm seeing the benefits (I just need to get real internet instead of this satellite connection to Jordan crap.)
[15:51] <Geek--> ifconfig doesnt even show it
[15:51] <sacarlson> my network-manager says mine isn't working now to but I chating with you aren't I?
[15:51] <dajhorn> secretary_linux:   I sometimes do an  `at now + 60 minutes` < reboot   if I'm doing something that could cause the server to go dumb.
[15:52] <sacarlson> geek_ did you try the link I gave you to fix that?
[15:52] <milamber> Anchor: good news. glad you have had a good experience so far.
[15:52] <kenanb> hi, i have a question about packages, i installed blenders new beta release using this tutorial to ubuntu 10.10 amd64: http://mbah.net/2010/11/11/installing-blender-2-55-beta/
[15:52] <vampire> i'v got the problem when i enabling the water effect on my AOD255. . .anyone can give me a reason why?
[15:52] <secretary_linux> dajhorn: I do use screen for other things already, and I certainly see the usefulness of at here, thanks. but how do you recommend using screen?
[15:52] <sacarlson> geek: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1311886
[15:52] <kenanb> after that, every package i install gives an error among install
[15:52] <milamber> kenanb: what is the error message?
[15:53] <AdvoWork> got a bit of a weird problem, this hasnt done it before so i dont know whats happened. I open up my a bookmark(file) which points to a smb. it opens the location, i see the files, then it freezes, i cant access menus ie applications etc, i can only tab to other programs as well. I press the power button as if to turn the pc off(on the laptop) it closes the browser location/everything else, and everything becomes unfrozen. ANy ideas please?
[15:53] <kenanb> packages mostly seem to install correctly considering they work, but they give the message anyway
[15:53] <sacarlson> geek: if that fails then install the linux-backports-wifi
[15:53] <kenanb> it says the installation failed with some errors, may i paste the errors somewhere?

[15:53] <dajhorn> secretary_linux:   Restarting a VPN daemon through a VPN session is a race condition.   There is a chance that the init script could be killed before the daemon restarts.   Screen ensures that the reload or restart finishes.

[15:55] <vampire>  the problem is, when i enabling it using ctrl+super key, my affect is lost at all and someties, my netbook is restart
[15:55] <arundracula> how to fix it?
[15:55] <erUSUL> arundracula: open the file with a text editor and see what is wrong in line 104
[15:55] <Geek--> with ifconfig wlan1
[15:55] <soreau> arundracula: gedit $HOME/.bashrc
[15:55] <dajhorn> secretary_linux:   Well, you'll just have to try it.   :)
[15:55] <erUSUL> arundracula: gedit +104 ~/.bashrc &
[15:55] <sacarlson> Geek: this but with your b43 driver and wlan1:  rmmod ath5k rfkill block all rfkill unblock all modprobe ath5k rfkill unblock all ifconfig wlan0 up
[15:55] <Geek--> i did that all
[15:56] <fatius> is there a way to list the current number of open (file) inodes?
[15:56] <tarelerulz> I have sdcard plugged in my computer and I have  Sony Vaio and went I ran the make usb strike windows program on Ubuntu's site on the sd it seem to work ,but when I ran in it said live media not found . any ideas
[15:56] <dajhorn> secretary_linux:   OpenVPN clients have a much more sensible retry and reconnect default than things like PPTP.  My guess is that most of your users won't notice being dropped.
[15:56] <AdvoWork> what logs would show why nautilus is crashing? ive tried /var/log/messages and ive tried /var/log/samba/ but samba dir is empty
[15:56] <soreau> fatius: Try ##linux
[15:56] <arundracula> This is my Line 102:
[15:56] <arundracula> alias imdb-up=’find /home/vinodkumar/Videos/movies/* -type f | while read -r line ; do imdb-thumbnailer -u “$line” ; done’
[15:56] <sacarlson> geek:  ok did ifconfig come up after that without the error SIOCSIFFLAGS:?
[15:56] <kenanb> http://paste.ubuntu.com/550283/
[15:56] <marine1> Sriram: what up
[15:56] <dajhorn> AdvoWork:   Start with /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog.
[15:56] <kenanb> for example this is the error message when i trid to uninstall emacs, i guess the one when i try to install it is the same
[15:56] <Geek--> !pastebin
[15:57] <kenanb> and emacs works anyway
[15:57] <erUSUL> fatius: maybe lsof can
[15:57] <sacarlson> geek: if that's done time to try linux-backports-wifi???
[15:57] <erUSUL> arundracula: add a newline at the en of a file
[15:57] <Geek--> http://paste.ubuntu.com/550284/
[15:57] <arundracula> I've added.
[15:57] <arundracula> So no there are 103 lines in gedit
[15:57] <dajhorn> arundracula:  Bash scripts should always be 7-bit ascii.   Unicode (non-English) characters can confuse the shell.
[15:57] <erUSUL> arundracula: also btw such an alioas is better construected as a function
[15:58] <arundracula> But still showing
[15:58] <Geek--> cant find package
[15:58] <tanino> qualcuno capisce l'italiano?
[15:58] <erUSUL> !it
[15:58] <secretary_linux> dajhorn: thanks for the advice.
[15:58] <dajhorn> secretary_linux:  Welcome.
[15:58] <sacarlson> geeK you did do that with sudo?
[15:58] <Geek--> ya
[15:58] <Bisu[Shield]> I am trying to setup a subdomain where do I put the hostname file?
[15:58] <Bisu[Shield]> I am using apache2
[15:58] <AdvoWork> dajhorn, i was watching both, clicked into a location no log changes, but then it freezed again
[15:58] <erUSUL> arundracula: then look for no closed constructs ( quotes; if fi do done pairs etc
[15:58] <sacarlson> geek: so lsmod  shows no b43 anymore?
[15:59] <kenanb> may it be a problem in version of python?
[15:59] <Wampyre> Hi there. I'm running out of space on my /boot partition.  Which files can I safely delete to clear it up?  Will deleting old kernels affect the bootloader at all, and how would I repair it?
[15:59] <arundracula> This has been showing after I put the last line - which is for imdb thumbnailer
[15:59] <Geek--> http://pastebin.com/tNcPAzgc
[15:59] <Geek--> ssb = b44
[15:59] <erUSUL> arundracula: also « alias imdb-up=’find /home/vinodkumar/ » that ' does not look like a plain single quote (')
[15:59] <sacarlson> geek: maybe your now working with stab43?
[16:00] <arundracula> Corrected
[16:00] <Geek--> how do u find out?
[16:00] <arundracula> @erUSUL I copy pasted this thing
[16:00] <arundracula> Now I typed the character actually and it got cleared
[16:00] <erUSUL> arundracula: then the problem may be the fancy single quote '
[16:00] <arundracula> Thanks
[16:01] <arundracula> Thank you all..
[16:01] <dajhorn> arundracula: This script will choke on a large library.  Try something like this instead:  find /home/vinodkumar/Videos/movies/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0r -n1 imdb-thumbnailer -u
[16:01] <kenanb> any ideas? sorry half of the error message is in turkish, but they seem to repeat the same problem over and over, unmet deps, but dependencies are installed
[16:02] <erUSUL> arundracula: if you are suing find why not use execdir? « alias imdb-up='find /home/vinodkumar/Videos/movies/* -type f -execdir imdb-thumbnailer -u {} \; '
[16:02] <mlazzari2> hello
[16:03] <Geek--> ...

[16:04] <Geek--> k this is taking to long screw this
[16:04] <nebula>  Depends: ia32-libs  but it is not installable
[16:04] <sacarlson> geek: ok we were working on the wrong driver seem b44 is your driver so lets try sudo rmmod b44; sudo modprobe b44
[16:05] <Wampyre> h-dee: thanks!
[16:05] <h-dee> Wampyre: np bud! Good Luck!
[16:05] <ALBASL> hi
[16:05] <dajhorn> nebula: Try installing lib32stdc++6 instead.
[16:06] <ALBASL> am having problems with software center
[16:06] <sacarlson> I must say broadcom sucks,  has anyone ever got one to work?
[16:06] <ALBASL> could someone help me solve it
[16:06] <Soyo> How do you run a long command in a text file? I copied it into there because the I cannot type into the terminal in the GUI for some reason... it does not want to die.
[16:06] <h-dee> !ask | ALBASL
[16:07] <Soyo> I tried renaming it uninstallxfce.sh but that didn't work :)
[16:07] <erUSUL> sacarlson: usually installing the firmware package ( b43-fwcutter in lucid ) and rebooting is enough
[16:07] <dajhorn> sacarlson:   Broadcom has pretty good support in Ubuntu.  Try the alternate STA driver if the B43 isn't working for you.
[16:07] <sacarlson> erUSUL: glad to hear somebody get's them to work,  seems we see about 4 a day
[16:07] <Psycho_Mario> is it possible to find which core a process is running on with top or similar?
[16:07] <compdoc> think it depends on the broadcom chipset thats in there. some work better than others
[16:07] <Voting> popey: Sorry about the delay. Not using a 64 bit install.
[16:08] <younder> The 32 bit seems more stable
[16:08] <sacarlson> dajhorn: I don't have one,  my ralink works perfect,  I was just trying to help someone that finaly gave up
[16:08] <erUSUL> sacarlson: many people here also come with the chip blocked for some reason ( "sudo rfkill list all" can tell if that's the case )
[16:10] <wildfire> I've uploaded something to my PPA - is there a way I can check the status of the build?
[16:10] <dajhorn> Psycho_Mario:  Run top and push <f> <j> <enter>
[16:10] <h-dee> erUSUL: Just in case, if some one has hard-blocked, how to fix it?
[16:11] <Psycho_Mario> dajhorn, the 'P' column?
[16:11] <erUSUL> h-dee: find the button ( or key combo ) in your laptop that unblocks it ?
[16:11] <dajhorn> Psycho_Mario:   The 'P' column is the most recently scheduled CPU.
[16:11] <Psycho_Mario> dajhorn; Thanks.
[16:11] <h-dee> erUSUL: Oh ok! I thought its blocked from the circuitory or something LOL!
[16:11] <erUSUL> h-dee: sometimes that does not work becouse of acpi bugs but that should be rare
[16:11] <dajhorn> Psycho_Mario:   Welcome.   If you need to change it,  then search the man pages for "cpu affinity".
[16:12] <erUSUL> h-dee: if it is soft-blocked is « sudo rfkill unblock all »
[16:12] <h-dee> erUSUL: I see many people with similar issues especially with Broadcom wifi, even though I'm using it smoothly.
[16:12] <ALBASL> when i click on install button on any software on Ubuntu Software Center it gives me error "Failed to download package files" and on the details it says Failed to fetch for all the URLs ......... Also the same error happen when updating the system from Update Manager

[16:19] <BluesKaj> oops I mean't IdleOne
[16:20] <dajhorn> nebula: Are you manually installing things?  This shouldn't happen if you're using the package manager.
[16:20] <bodom> ty

[16:26] <ajwill> hi all I have a quick question, I'm running ubuntu 10.10 and I would like to, at startup, reload compiz, because I run into a common problem where compiz (for some reason) doesnt start properly, and I have no status bar on any windows, its just the window with no close minimize or resize button or even title... help?
[16:27] <mib_ahdy7r> which channel is 11.04 NATTY ?
[16:27] <IdleOne> !11.04
[16:28] <milamber> mib_ahdy7r: ubuntu+1
[16:29] <mib_ahdy7r> yes  i understand. running seperate box for testing. thank you for the channel.
[16:30] <kennethbaucum> Can someone give me some tips on getting my Ubuntu LAMP setup to talk to a MSSQL database residing on a different server?
[16:30] <h-dee> ajwill: You may explicitly specify compiz as the statup application.
[16:30] <h-dee> Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, and add a new one with 'compiz' specified as the command.
[16:31] <h-dee> ajwill: Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, and add a new one with 'compiz' specified as the command.
[16:31] <ajwill> h-dee: I already do, in the "startup applications" program under system then preferences, I have a line that's /bin/usr/compiz, but it still doesnt launch properly ocasionally
[16:31] <rob|> omg
[16:32] <h-dee> ajwill: It happened with me a while back, and I just did this, and it sorted out afterwards.
[16:32] <eb_> #ubuntu-beginners-team
[16:33] <ajwill> sorry about that, ubuntu logged me out...
[16:33] <ajwill> h-dee: you were saying?
[16:33] <h-dee> ajwill: It happened with me a while back, and I just did this, and it sorted out afterwards.
[16:33] <rob|> ajwill: there is no such path in your filesystem
[16:34] <rob|> ajwill: did you even check wat you wrote there?
[16:34] <h-dee> ajwill: try just 'compiz'. It should work fine.
[16:34] <ajwill> h-dee: okay I'll try that
[16:34] <ajwill> rob|: yeah I know I meant /usr/bin/compiz
[16:35] <rob|> well, then just write what you mean
[16:35] <ajwill> rob|: I'm not perfect, I make mistakes :)
[16:35] <IdleOne> rob|: people make mistakes, please relax
[16:35] <h-dee> rob: don't be so rude buddy.
[16:35] <ajwill> okay and in regards to what just happened, I have another question, does anyone know if the 10.10(maverik) randomly logging people out has been solved yet?
[16:36] <rob|> oh, i forgot - this is a cuddle chan
[16:36] <kennethbaucum> QUESTION: Can someone give me some tips on getting my Ubuntu LAMP setup to talk to a MSSQL database residing on a different server?
[16:36] <h-dee> ajwill: is that true? Never heard of such issue before. I never faced such issue using 10.10.
[16:37] <neiln> Hi, I am getting the problem in assessing the router, I have forgotten the network key, is there any way that I can get it back or crack it
[16:37] <rob|> neiln: reset button
[16:37] <ajwill> h-dee: I did some googling a while ago and it seemed I wasnt the only one... I had it when I first installed ubuntu, and I recently completely wiped my hard drive and reinstalled ubuntu on a new partition and still, once every while, usually in the middle of something, the screen will go black then I'm taken to the login screen...
[16:38] <ajwill> neiln: what kind of router?
[16:38] <neiln> its a brouter, its Beetel 450BXI
[16:38] <neiln> rob. it does not have to reset button
[16:38] <h-dee> ajwill: the screen goes blank immediately while working? (not in idle state)
[16:39] <rob|> no reset buton? what kind of crappy hardware is that?
[16:39] <h-dee> neiln: Beetel? Connection by Bharti Airtel?
[16:39] <ajwill> h-dee: yes, that was why I randomly quit, the screen went black, closed all my programs, then logged me out
[16:40] <neiln> h-dee, I am only using the router for my home networking and not using any service provider
[16:40] <ajwill> neiln, is there a reset button anywhere on the router? usually its a tiny little hole on the back
[16:40] <kennethbaucum> QUESTION -- Can someone give me some tips on getting my Ubuntu LAMP setup to talk to a MSSQL database residing on a different server? -- Is this a good place for this question, or should I choose another channel?
[16:41] <IdleOne> kennethbaucum: maybe #ubuntu-server
[16:41] <unop> kennethbaucum,  #php or #apache would probably be better alternatives too
[16:41] <h-dee> ajwill: thats a sad issue.
[16:41] <kennethbaucum> Thanks, IdleOne
[16:42] <ajwill> h-dee: it is, it gets annoying as well, I no longer do anything for school on this computer due to the risk of it just randomly logging me out...
[16:42] <Kre10s> hello. Im using ubuntu 11.4, How can I change the login screen?
[16:42] <IdleOne> Kre10s: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04
[16:42] <neiln> ajwill, no i have already checekd that and there is no button
[16:43] <kenotic> This might not be the right place, but I need to deploy a system at a clients and have it open a tunnel back to my server and allow me to connect to a port on the deployed system. I know it is a reverse tunnel and I can get it to work from the server, but not from another machine.
[16:43] <Kre10s> thanks
[16:43] <ajwill> neiln, okay, have you googled around for instructions for a hard-reset or something like that?
[16:43] <kelwynsa8> Hi, I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 and have noticed that the network to and from another Ubuntu machine using samba is extremely slow when trying to view music/folders/videos. I am on a Gigabit network and have checked BW usage on both ends. However my Windows PC seems to be able to view 1080p files fine from the server via Samba. I have done some research using Google and came accross http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.
[16:43] <kelwynsa8> php?t=1213688... this suggests I need to change gvfs config, how can I do this? Sorry for the long message, but thanks!
[16:43] <h-dee> ajwill: Is there any particular hardware device in common? I mean when you checked the forums, do others having the same issue have anything in common, like a particular hardware device which might be not completely supported by Maverick?
[16:43] <guampa> kenotic: what kind of tunnel?
[16:44] <kenotic> ssh tunnel
[16:44] <guampa> then use -R for a reverse tunnel
[16:44] <nebunu> sall all
[16:44] <ajwill> h-dee, not that I can tell... I remember I did quite a bit of checking but still found nothing...
[16:44] <kenotic> guampa, I got the tunnel to come up and can connect to vnc on the client machine from the server, but not from my desktop
[16:45] <synackfin> how do I test if passwordless sudo of a certain command is supported (without running the command) ?
[16:45] <ajwill> h-dee: do you use compiz and/or firefox?
[16:45] <h-dee> ajwill: Very strange. How come I haven't faced that issue yet then? I don't think I'm that lucky. LOL!
[16:45] <synackfin> e.g. is there a "dry-run" mode of sudo where it just returns whether or not it can run such a command?
[16:46] <h-dee> ajwill: I use compiz + chrome
[16:46] <h-dee> ajwill: I rarely open firefox
[16:46] <guampa> kenotic: find out if the port opened in your server is just listening on 127.0.0.1 or if some firewall is blocking you
[16:46] <ajwill> h-dee: okay that eliminates the possibility of it being compiz (yay!) maybe I'll try installing chrome and using it instead... cuz one thing I just found is most people say their ubuntu crashes usually while using firefox or thunderbird
[16:47] <guampa> kenotic: netstat -ltpn on the server should give that info
[16:47] <h-dee> ajwill: I love chrome, and never turned back to firefox after using chrome. :-)
[16:48] <kenotic> guampa, I see it as 127.0.0.1:5900 so it is listening
[16:48] <kenotic> but looks like to just local host
[16:48] <guampa> yes, but only in the local address
[16:48] <kelwynsa8> Anyone?
[16:48] <kenotic> guampa, so I need to change it to the servers ip?
[16:48] <ajwill> h-dee: I did love chrome on windows but I had a bad experience with it in fedora, I really didnt like it, it was laggy and horrid...
[16:49] <XP1> how do i view drive info in terminal?
[16:49] <guampa> kenotic: change -Rport:rhost:rpot to -localRaddress:port:rhost:rport
[16:50] <guampa> sorry -Rlocaladdress:port:rhost:rport
[16:50] <h-dee> ajwill: I'm sure you won't find such issues with Chrome on Ubuntu. besides, chrome is updated frequently. I sometimes feel its more powerful here than at windows (bad old windows) LOL!
[16:50] <kenotic> guampa, thanks I will give that a try
[16:50] <guampa> alternatively you can dnat that to another iface/address
[16:50] <h-dee> XP1: what kind of drive?
[16:51] <ajwill> maybe I'll start using chrome and see if that solves my problem...
[16:51] <h-dee> ajwill: Good Luck with that bud!
[16:52] <ajwill> h-dee: thanks!
[16:52] <tom866> how do i install java in ubuntu?
, sata connected to SATA to USB
[16:53] <unop> !java
[16:54] <h-dee> XP1: what kind of information? If you want to check for volumes/partitions, go for 'sudo fdisk -l'.
[16:54] <tom866> yeah where's the download link for java for ubuntu?
[16:55] <IdleOne> !java
[16:55] <XP1> h-dee, i want to check for serial number and manufacturer

[16:58] <kenotic> sacarlson, no not yet
[16:58] <PyroClastic> Hi! I've been trying to insert /'s into at string, but i can' seem to get it right. My best guess was: echo "123" | sed 's:(\d{1})(\d{1})(\d{1}):$1\/$2\/$3:' can anyone see what's wrong with it?
[16:58] <kenotic> guampa, I am trying to do this from a windows machine and with putty. Did not seem to work
[16:59] <the_german> PyroClastic: What Shell are you using?

[17:00] <guampa> kenotic: check the man page for ssh_config / sshd_config, option GatewayPorts, and regarding to putty, it can do reverse tunnels over any interface
[17:00] <blistov> Anyone know how to check the encryption TYPE on a file system?
[17:00] <blistov> ie: AES128 vs. AES256?

[17:07] <gs> thnx
[17:07] <ZykoticK9> Vasa, one workaround (especially if the exe is on a cd) is just to start the EXE's from command line "wine /path/to/foo.exe"
[17:07] <baguasky> sacarlson  Ahhhh!  That makse sense.  Thanks.  Was really quirky kept runnin out of space installing lamp.
[17:08] <Vasa> and any not commandline option?
[17:08] <nap01eon> подскажиде на ноутбук sony vaio vpcee3e1r какую систему поставить?
[17:08] <Vasa> I mean it's just crazy. I'm the administrator, and cannot tick a box?
[17:09] <baguasky> scarlson  Thanks!  I appreciate it.  It is always the simple stuff that gets ya...  (well me anyway...)
[17:09] <sacarlson> baguasky: I'm not sure but I think at least the boot part needs to be fat32 for usb to be able to boot but I think you can add a partiton
[17:09] <ZykoticK9> Vasa, is the EXE on a FAT or NTFS parition?
[17:09] <Vasa> NTFS
[17:09] <ZykoticK9> Vasa, so - linux permission (including execute) don't work then, if the file was on a linux partition it would stay.
[17:10] <baguasky> scarlson that sounds familiar.  Will go do my homework and give it another try.
[17:10] <masat01> the Japanese text isn't working in Wine
[17:10] <masat01> what should I do?
[17:10] <Vasa> isn't any workaround, to disable all this permission stuff?
[17:10] <ZykoticK9> masat01, ask in #winehq
[17:10] <Vasa> I really need this exe, it's an anatomy atlas
[17:11] <Vasa> i dont wanna go back to windows
[17:11] <spencer> vasa if you have a spare windoze boot disc, look up vbox
[17:11] <client08> ae
[17:11] <Vasa> oh boy

I cannot seem to get them to unmount once they have been mounted in fstab, and i cannot see any of the files that are in there. Is there a set of scripts that runs on a btrfs array (across multiple devices) that indexes everything before it can be used?

[17:16] <spencer> Any good simple GUI FTP clients? nothing too fancy, just testing out an iTouch server

[17:17] <masat01> yeah, Winehq is kind of dead
[17:17] <llutz> spencer: filezilla
[17:17] <spencer> fuzzybunny69y my only idea would be to make an MD5 key
[17:17] <spencer> wrd I've tried that, it didn't seem to work
[17:17] <fuzzybunny69y> spencer, how do you do that?
[17:17] <Doinkle> fuzzybunny69y, tar can do this if you are extra paranoid.
[17:18] <spencer> fuzzybunny69y unfortunately I have absolutely no idea, sorry
[17:18] <IdleOne> ZykoticK9: he has been given the guidelines, see where it goes from here :)
[17:18] <maxo> hi
[17:18] <Doinkle> tar can archive file permissions as a backup reference once you copy
[17:18] <spencer> I think client08 left a little bit ago
[17:18] <spencer> gotta go, changing classperiods
[17:18] <Bob23> Hey, how can I add extra swap space ie a swap file or something without partioning again
[17:18] <maxo> I'm trying to connect to a sftp server with nautilus but it says 'could not find sftp://servername'. Yet I can connect fine with ssh on the command line. How come?
[17:19] <wrd> spencer: otherwise i think nautilus has ftp support.

[17:21] <sacarlson> maxo: that sounds like it should have worked
[17:21] <maxo> sacarlson, I agree :-(
[17:21] <XVampireX> I can write in hebrew also, I was just saying that the most interesting part about referring people to the russian channel is that THIS channel is not called #ubuntu-en :D
[17:22] <puff> Every single time I reboot, or suspend and resume, my thinkpad t43p running ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, numlock is turned on.
[17:22] <jobs> hi
[17:22] <puff> Is there a way to prevent this?  And does it sound like a thinkpad problem or an ubuntu problem?
[17:22] <sacarlson> maxo: is the target on internet wan or local lan?
[17:22] <maxo> sacarlson: local lan
[17:22] <maxo> I've tried with IP address as well
[17:22] <sacarlson> maxo: and both target and client are ubuntu?
[17:23] <goltoof> XVampireX:  da, a little discriminative
[17:23] <maxo> sacarlson, target is a linux server
[17:23] <IdleOne> !swap > Bob23

[17:23] <datacrusher> hello! iv installed ubuntu netbook remix, but didnt quite got friendly with the unity interface. Is there a way to get back to gnome, or i have to reinstall it all over?

[17:23] <sacarlson> maxo: target linux server destro?
[17:24] <wasutton3-Laptop> how do i find which processes are using my disk interfaces?
[17:24] <maxo> sacarlson, it's a NAS, I'm pretty sure it's debian
[17:24] <maxo> it comes with apt :-)
[17:24] <birdman007> I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 but when I check it says i'm using 11.04 I updated by using the update manager and it said it was updating to 10.10 what happened?
[17:24] <Rains> datacrusher, at the login screen before you enter your password you will be able to change the Window Manager using the dropdown at the bottom of the screen
[17:24] <sacarlson> maxo: seems like it should work
[17:25] <milamber> birdman007: that is a known issue. you are on 10.10
[17:25] <sacarlson> maxo: same ports
[17:25] <XVampireX> alexfpms, okazyvaetsya chto vseravno est tut ruskie kak vidno. da ladno, ya poshol ;)
[17:25] <nilz> any one using backtrack i wanted to know can i use backtrack as a server for a database and how??
[17:26] <datacrusher> Rains, after that can i set gnome to default / remove unity?
[17:26] <milamber> !backtrack | nilz
[17:26] <alexfpms> XVampireX, russians are everywere ;)
[17:26] <Rains> datacrusher, it will remember your last choice and use that as default until you change it again
[17:26] <birdman007> milamber: oh alright I was wondering what was up with that
[17:27] <datacrusher> hm. im worryed about space, does unity is big enough to bother that its still there?
[17:28] <datacrusher> Rains, if i seted to boot without asking password it goes up instantly without this chosing screen. how do i set it to ask for password / show this welcome ?

[17:29] <wasutton3-Laptop> has anyone else had a problem when using sudo apt-get upgrade with a hang on the python-minimal package? mine has seemed to stall here for the past 20 minutes
[17:29] <Bluefever> Hey, I need to add a resolution to ubuntu 10.10, and I need to make it so that the resolution will stay for the next time I log in. Does anyone know how to do this?
[17:29] <Rains> datacrusher, Under System -> Administation -> Longin Screen you can adjust these settings
[17:30] <datacrusher> thanks Rains !
[17:30] <hijam> yahoo!!!!!
[17:30] <Gunni> how do i set/change the default file permission in a certain folder
[17:30] <Gunni> so if i make new ones they have those and not some default
[17:31] <milamber> birdman007: if you want to confirm yourself: at the terminal: lsb_release -a
[17:31] <jungleberrykid> has anybody successfully installed GnoMenu on Maverick?
[17:31] <CT1> Hi.  What's the linux equivalent of "net use t: \\192.168.1.3\shared"?
[17:32] <rocket16> In python, if a=1, then if I wish to use festival to say it aloud using os.system('echo "The value is ",a | festival --tts'), it reads "Hello, a" instead of "Hello 1". Is there a way to settle the matter?
[17:32] <delocated> wha is the equiv in sh to bashs EUID?
[17:32] <BluesKaj> !ssh | CT1
[17:33] <delocated> ('echo "The value is " $a
[17:33] <delocated> err
[17:33] <bindi> CT1: you want to mount a samba share?
[17:33] <bindi> !samba
[17:33] <rocket16> delocated: Oh, many thanks. :)
[17:33] <CT1> bindi: YES! not permanently though.
[17:34] <bindi> CT1: mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.44.100/share /path_to/mount
[17:35] <CT1> bindi: Thankyou very much!
[17:35] <rocket16> delocated: Unfortunately, it didn't work. :(
[17:35] <bindi> np - i googled btw ;) "temporary samba mount"
[17:35] <ZykoticK9> Gunni, the umask determines the default permission on the files/folder - not sure if it can be applied only to a particular directory, you'd need to research that one.  Best of luck.
[17:35] <Hijam> ubuntu sucks!!!
[17:35] <delocated> rocket16, I messes up that was *sh
[17:35] <jungleberrykid> LOL!
[17:35] <delocated> you would use %a
[17:35] <delocated> var=X , echo %var
[17:37] <rocket16> delocated: Still, it only reads "The value is %a" aloud.
[17:38] <sacarlson> bindi: so you are on a server with no gui?
[17:38] <bindi> huh?
[17:38] <delocated> rocket16, give me a min....
[17:38] <rocket16> delocated: Sure
[17:38] <sacarlson> bindi: what I see is cli so you can't try nautilus and right click and share?
[17:39] <bindi> tell that to the guy who quit :-)
[17:39] <bindi> he was the one who asked the question
[17:39] <sacarlson> bindi: sorry sir
[17:39] <buggyer> hi guys, added phpldapadmin on our server, if i want to login i always get logged in with dc=example,dc=com but i want our dc=domain,dc=local (i surely type this in ;) ) if i use phpldapadmin from another server it works... why is that?
[17:40] <Lantchips_afkzzz> I can't install ubuntu. When I try to install then it says it's already installed but I formatted it :/
[17:41] <Thomas_Anderson> Lantchips, try using manual partitioning
[17:41] <Lantchips> Thomas_Anderson: But I cant even get the installer to start because it says its already installed :/
[17:42] <kubanc> anybody ever installed ultrastar deluxe under ubuntu?
[17:42] <sacarlson> Lantchips: ya like Thomas_Anderson: said or just delete a partition so ubuntu can guess where you want to install it
[17:42] <Thomas_Anderson> Lantchips, are you installing ubuntu from LiveCD?
[17:42] <Lantchips> Thomas_Anderson: I cant get the liveCD to start because it says it's installed :P
[17:43] <sacarlson> Lantchips: you have to reboot a system to get a live cd to run
[17:43] <Roots> Does anyone know if dash script syntax is functionally equivalent to ash? I need to write a simple script but my target system only has ash available on it
[17:43] <Lantchips> sacarlson: I have :/ But it just stops at the spashscreen for ubuntu for 2 hours and doesn't do anything
[17:44] <wasutton3-Laptop> has anyone elses update today stalled on python-minimal?
[17:44] <erUSUL> Roots: stick to posix sh
[17:44] <rocket16> delocated: My friend, many thanks for the help. I found an easier way, to bypass the entire process by calling festival from python itself. :D Still, thanks.
[17:44] <sacarlson> Lantchips: that sound broken to me,  maybe bad media (bad cd) or ?
[17:44]  * rocket16 used this http://hakki.cornelii.org/quick_py_tts.html
[17:44] <Lantchips> I tried various of USBs :P
[17:45] <Pici> wasutton3-Laptop: Which release of Ubuntu are you trying to update?
[17:45] <delocated> That was where I was going...
[17:45] <Lantchips> sacarlson: I made a usb on my laptop which is running ubuntu
[17:45] <Lantchips> sacarlson: Tried with a CD and formatted the USB and tried again
[17:46] <delocated> Not much of a py programmer.. glad you figured it out, from what I could tell with your line is you needed to convert the python var to a system var before saying it
[17:46] <AlVal> building an ubuntu pc for mythtv
[17:46] <sacarlson> Lantchips: and these cd's and/or usb flash will boot on other systems?
[17:46] <Lantchips> I installed it on 3 pcs now over xmas
[17:46] <AlVal> want to make sure my hardware suffers no incompatibilities
[17:46] <AlVal> what are the safest/most supported mobos to use for ubuntu?
[17:46] <Roots> Thanks erUSUL
[17:46] <Lantchips> sacarlson:  I installed it on 3 pcs now over xmas (Sorry I forget to add your name also)
[17:46] <AlVal> intel own brand combined with intel cpu?
[17:47] <AlVal> or am I living in the past?
[17:47] <sacarlson> Lantchips: so this media has worked on other but just not on this system.  ok try an older 10.04 or beta 11.04
[17:48] <Thomas_Anderson> Lantchips, when you make the system start from usb drive what does it happen?
[17:48] <milamber> AlVal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[17:48] <AlVal> milamber: thanks
[17:48] <Lantchips> Thomas_Anderson: It boots the USB and then it comes to the ubuntu spash screen you know the flashing balls. and then it stays there :/
[17:48] <AlVal> and I guess it's just a waiting game as regards when support for any dvb-t2 chipsets will come along
[17:49] <IdleOne> sacarlson: 11.04 is alpha not beta and will probably cause more issues then fix for them right now
[17:49] <Lantchips> Thomas_Anderson: Then I tried to install it from Windows and then it says it's already installed on the PC so it can't install it
[17:49] <Thomas_Anderson> Lantchips, have you tried to press F6?
[17:49] <Hc96> Hi! how can I set my locale temporarily to de_DE.iso-8859-15 ?
[17:49] <Lantchips> Thomas_Anderson: Not really ? What should happen then ?
[17:49] <sacarlson> IdleOne: thank you alph beta
[17:49] <Hc96> my gtk+ warns me its not supported (via LC_ALL=de_DE....)
[17:50] <AlVal> anyone know what group of linux developers would be involved in the supporting/implementing of new chipsets for tv capture (dvb-t2 , the new standard [at least in europe])
[17:50] <Thomas_Anderson> Launtchips, when you reach that screen if you press F6 you can change some booting and installing options
[17:50] <sacarlson> IdleOne: I ment that as a compliment sorry if that looked bad
[17:50] <Lantchips> Thomas_Anderson: When starting ubuntu rite ?
[17:50] <stew-a> is swapping the apache MPM just a matter of 'apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker' or is there more to it than that? (#httpd said to ask here, i'm running apache 2.2 on ubuntu 10.04)
[17:50] <Lantchips> Thomas_Anderson: I will try that when I get the stupid keyboard back :)
[17:50] <IdleOne> sacarlson: no worries, just keep in mind that suggesting natty at this point in time is probably not the best idea for most users
[17:51] <milamber> AlVal: video for linux: http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/
[17:51] <sacarlson> IdleOne: ok noted
[17:51] <maxo> is it possible to log errors from nautilus?
[17:51] <AlVal> milamber: again, thanks :D
[17:51] <milamber> AlVal: np
[17:52] <sacarlson> maxo: you can run nuatilus from the command line and see some errors not normaly seen
[17:52] <wasutton3-Laptop> does anyone else have a problem with unpacking python-minimal ?
[17:52] <jungleberrykid> Does anybody have GnoMenu 2.9 installed on Maverick?
[17:53] <IdleOne> wasutton3-Laptop: what version of Ubuntu?
[17:53] <maxo> sacarlson, it doesn't show anything, it seems to just fork and return to the prompt whilst still running
[17:53] <wasutton3-Laptop> IdleOne: maverick, fresh install not 4 hours old
[17:53] <sacarlson> maxo: well some apps are noisy some aren't
[17:54] <Lantchips> Anyone heard any more rumours about ubuntu going to rolling releases ?
[17:54] <milamber> AlVal: linuxtv.org is also a good resource
[17:54] <sacarlson> maxo: your right I just tested it seems to go into && mode not sure it will return a responce
[17:55] <Paolo_CT> Hi there, Im going to by a netbook. Any one here is using ubuntu in a Packard Bell?. Does everything run ok?
[17:55] <ZykoticK9> Lantchips, you should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic but i hear it wasn't true.
[17:55] <sacarlson> Lantchips: rolling releases?
[17:55] <Doinkle> i heard that is untrue also
[17:55] <Lantchips> ZykoticK9: aha ty :) Gonna check :)
[17:55] <IdleOne> Lantchips: only rumors
[17:56] <stew-a> is swapping the apache MPM just a matter of 'apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker' or is there more to it than that? (#httpd said to ask here, i'm running apache 2.2 on ubuntu 10.04)
[17:56] <Paolo_CT> I been told by a friend that Ubuntu doesnt work well in Packard bell, and I dont want to buy and latter return it
[17:56] <wildc4rd> afternoon all

[17:56] <Doinkle> hi wildc4rd
[17:57] <sacarlson> Doinkle: I guess like git and the kernel
[17:57] <Doinkle> sacarlson, think more of... rather than wiping and installing, things just get patched
[17:57] <Doinkle> sacarlson, like windows xp sp 15 in the year 2014
[17:57] <Doinkle> ;)
[17:58] <sacarlson> Doinkle: or not sure how that would work with a big change  in gnome but anything is posible

[18:04] <sacarlson> prunus-dulcis: you can dd it and put it on something else or send it to someone else to work on
[18:05] <Thomas_Anderson> mclovin, you have to set up the internet connection manually

[18:07] <mclovin> and yet i cant seem to find the wireless hdd
[18:07] <ZykoticK9> mclovin, Thomas_Anderson BackTrack support is not on topic here, it's OT - there is a Backtrack support channel.
[18:07] <Thomas_Anderson> ok
[18:07] <mclovin> @zykoticK9 im new her where do i find that
[18:07] <ZykoticK9> Thomas_Anderson, feel free to PM
[18:08] <IdleOne> mcl0vin: /join #backtrack-linux
[18:08] <milamber> linux_direction: dd may be the command you are looking for?
[18:08] <mclovin> thnx guys im outta here then thnx again
[18:08] <prunus-dulcis> sacarlson: dd ing it and putting it somewhere else could help? I made an image with partimage, will try to extract the image file to another disk then
[18:08] <Slyboots> Hmm
[18:08] <milamber> linux_direction: or rsync if you want it to be an ongoing thing?
[18:09] <Slyboots> Anyone know if there is decent "Finance" managment software for Ubunti?
[18:09] <linux_direction> oh. Okay. thanks milamber. i am new. so thanks for pointing me in the right direction : )
[18:09] <Slyboots> Something wtih a web-interface?
[18:09] <sacarlson> prunus-dulcis: that's probly what partimage does
[18:10] <Lantchips> Slyboots: http://ubuntudoctor.com/content/news/10-linux-financial-tools Not sure if that helps ?
[18:10] <AlVal> want a pc with no moving parts, if i underclock a modern processor, wonder if i could get away without a fan

[18:10] <sacarlson> prunus-dulcis: I didn't see anything from the link to see anything I could work from but a forensic could
[18:10] <Slyboots> I'll check it out
[18:10] <linux_direction> oh Okay. but i dont really want it to be an ongoing thing. its just that i have a nice fresh clean install. so before i start twiddling with my new ubu machine. i thought it would be a good idea. if i could replicate the drive. in case i stuff up my ubu.
[18:10] <mbvpixies78> IdleOne:  thank you thank you thank you
[18:11] <AlVal> assuming my mobo doesnt have a fan on any of its other chipsets, use ssd disks, and i can find a fanless psu, i guess i'd have a silent/no moving parts pc
[18:11] <Slyboots> I think I tried GnuCash but it was a bit.. *too* powerful for my needs
[18:11] <Slyboots> :D Need something more of "Hey pay this guy before your legs get broke" or "Break this guys legs.. he owes you money"
[18:11] <Thomas_Anderson> AlVal, i don't think it's possible; however you can try using a liquid heatsink
[18:12] <Lantchips> Slyboots: there are 9 other thingys there to  ;)
[18:12] <prunus-dulcis> sacarlson: thank you , the image was made after the partition already lost the partition table - will see what else I can find out - just strange that e2fsck still reports the files being there
[18:12] <Danny78> asd
[18:12] <AlVal> Thomas_Anderson: you think the combination of fanless cpu, fanless psu etc will all add up to too much heat?
[18:12] <Danny78> Can anyone help me set up xampp?  It won't start properly
[18:12] <AlVal> thought underclocking as much as poss might help counteract
[18:13] <sacarlson> prunus-dulcis: it's not that easy to delete files,  the best way to delete them is to encrypt them, so that should give you hope
[18:13] <pvandewyng> how can i disable the "import photo's " dialog that pops up when inserting media with photos ?
[18:13] <ZykoticK9> Danny78, you should think about using the Lamp stack built into ubuntu - you'll get better support in this channel for sure.
[18:13] <barack_osama>  I put some files https://sourceforge.net/projects/malwareip/files/ but command "svn co https://malwareip.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/malwareip malwareip" does not pull any files?
[18:13] <Lantchips> Slyboots: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/money-manager-ex-cross-platform-easy-to-use-personal-finance-software.html Mayb this looks better then ?
[18:14] <Thomas_Anderson> AlVal, mmm....i dont' know; it depends, what cpu are you gong to use?
[18:14] <linux_direction> milamber. i naturally have the hd in primary master. and the cdrom in the secondary slave. with dd. would i connect the spare hdd to the secondary master. and boot up. and run dd?
[18:14] <trojan_spike> AlVal, Thomas_Anderson   .. Liquid would be good.. Baby oil or sumit similar.. messy tho if something goes wrong.. believe me,, i know :)
[18:14] <Danny78> ZykoticK9:  that sounds good to me, but being a noob, where do I start?
[18:14] <AlVal> doesnt have to be powerful
[18:14] <AlVal> media centre, but the pci-e dvb cards will do the work
[18:14] <AlVal> so cpu wont have to do any encoding/decoding or the likes
[18:15] <AlVal> so ill get whatever cpuruns coolest
[18:15] <milamber> linux_direction: that is an option for more info on dd, from the terminal: man dd
[18:15] <guampa> pvandewyng: maybe gnome preferences menu -> file management -> media
[18:15] <dajhorn> barack_osama: The SourceForge 'files' area is separate from the 'svn' area.
[18:15] <alex_509> hi
[18:15] <ZykoticK9> Danny78, if you've already "installed" xammp i have no idea.  Good luck.  FYI to install ubuntu's lamp i think you can use "tasksel".
[18:15] <linux_direction> milamber: and when the copy has been made. i hope to remove the spare or the original. and put it away. till i stuff up my ubu.
[18:16] <linux_direction> Okay. i will go read up on dd. thanks milamber : )
[18:17] <wasutton3-Laptop> how do i solve a problem with a package that is neither fully installed or fully removed?
[18:17] <prunus-dulcis> sacarlson: I am quite certain that photorec will give me 94141 arbitrarily named files as a last resort ;) - thank you for your time!
[18:17] <lolcat> wasutton3-Laptop: rm -R?
[18:17] <Guest43470> Hi. The brightness of gdm during login on my eee is like "@@@@ you" to my eyes. Anyone knews how to solve this problem? The tip from ubuntu forums (the snailman or something) didn't woked.
[18:17] <wasutton3-Laptop> lolcat how does that solve a problem with apt-get?
[18:17] <milamber> linux_direction: *regular* backups are *strongly* recommended. making one snapshot at the beginning won't do you much good if something does go screwy
[18:17] <Danny78> Can anyone help me set up a web server in Ubuntu 10.04.1?
[18:18] <Lantchips> wasutton3-Laptop tried sudo apt-get -f I think it is
[18:18] <stew> linux_direction: there is no need for dd, you can "cp /dev/whatever /dev/whatever" to duplicate a drive, which is easier to remember/understand
[18:18] <lolcat> wasutton3-Laptop: Just apt-get --purge remove then?
[18:18] <Danny78> There are so many options, but I just want something straightforward--  built-in lamp, xampp, whatever
[18:18] <pvandewyng> guampa: do you know how to start that from command line, my ubuntu is not in english ?
[18:18] <milamber> Danny78: there is an ubuntu server iso, also ubuntu server support is best found in #ubuntu-server
[18:18] <sacarlson> Danny78: I can do that
[18:19] <Guest43470> Anyone knews the secret to gdm's brightness level manipulation?
[18:19] <guampa> pvandewyng: mine either, it's the nautilus preferences menu too
[18:19] <linux_direction> thanks again milamber. thanks stew. both these options i have no idea about. but again. thanks for pointing me into the right direction. : )
[18:19] <Danny78> sacarlson:  I would greatly appreciate it.  Should I use bult-in lamp stack?  xampp?
[18:19] <guampa> pvandewyng: edit -> preferences
[18:19] <sacarlson> Danny78: I see some people have problems with lamp that used to work, maybe just install each one alone
[18:20] <Danny78> milamber:  I tried Ubuntu server and it couldn't even connect to the internet
[18:20] <Jamesuperfun> no clue, sorry m8. Anyone need help that is NOT currently undergoing help from someone else?
[18:20] <Jamesuperfun> oh geust
[18:20] <keet> sometimes, apt-get downloads two packages at a time, but it happens randomly and rarely - how can I make this permanent?
[18:21] <Danny78> sacarlson:  In order to do that, I need to uninstall whatever's on here first.  That would me mysql(-server), apache2...  anything esle you can think of?
[18:21] <gobbe> hmmh
[18:21] <guampa> keet: add more sources, or try with a script like apt-fast or something simmilar
[18:21] <pvandewyng> guampa:  thanks i found it
[18:21] <gobbe> anyone using openvpn - i tried to add new connection, but apply-button is grayed and cannot be clicked
[18:21] <Jamesuperfun> guest43470 try this: check on your keyboard over your f1, f2, f3 ect keys. You may have an icon looking like a sun/ implying brightness. if you find it with up/down arrows by it, press Fn and then the f key.
[18:21] <guampa> pvandewyng: good!
[18:22] <Guest43470> Jamesuperfun: super funny.
[18:22] <Jamesuperfun> lol
[18:22] <Jamesuperfun> really im trying to help
[18:22] <Jamesuperfun> some n00bs have NO common sense
[18:22] <Jamesuperfun> trust me
[18:22] <milamber> Danny78: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server
[18:23] <milamber> Danny78: that will get you a basic LAMP
[18:23] <Danny78> milamber:  thanks much!
[18:24] <Jamesuperfun> i once had a guy, said his numpad kept working like arrow keys, and I explained it was because of numlock and he was like; OMG WOW THANKS!!! i spent SO LONG trying to figure that out! ect
[18:24] <Jamesuperfun> i was likie; n00b get some common sense
[18:25] <Jamesuperfun> oh found it
[18:25] <root> sup
[18:26] <Jamesuperfun> this MAY or MAY NOT help you guest43470 ok go to system>prefrences>power management and try the brightness settings there
[18:26] <milamber> Jamesuperfun: he/she gone
[18:27] <agentgasmask> Hi folks, I know there is a way to setup sshd to set an environment variable only when somone is logging in via ssh, but I forget how to set it. So that .bashrc or .profile can check if the variable is set and determin if the login is from ssh. Any hints?
[18:27] <Jamesuperfun> I can control my display like that fine
[18:27] <Jamesuperfun> ok then
[18:27] <wasutton3-Laptop> can anyone else successfully unpack the latest python-minimal package? (python-minimal_2.6.6-2ubuntu2_all.deb)
[18:27] <Jamesuperfun> anyone else need help? Im bored and not a total n00b
[18:27] <Jamesuperfun> hi
[18:28] <edbian> Jamesuperfun: Hello, I feel the same way
[18:28] <Jamesuperfun> lol
[18:28] <genii-around> keet: There is also some variable you could set in /etc/apt.conf about how many connections to have... I think the variable is called Queue-Mode or so
[18:28] <Jamesuperfun> came here to help people and no-one needs help. lol
[18:28] <Jamesuperfun> i suck with command line though
[18:28] <wasutton3-Laptop> Jamesuperfun: edbian: do you have any idea whats going on with my package management issues?
[18:28] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: Just got here.  What are the issues?
[18:29] <Jamesuperfun> well if its in terminal then probarbly no
[18:29] <Jamesuperfun> i suck there but ill try my best
[18:29] <edbian> Jamesuperfun: The terminal is the best.  You should really get on that :)
[18:29] <Jamesuperfun> hehe
[18:29] <Jamesuperfun> terminal, whatev
[18:29] <keet> genii-around, thanks
[18:29] <Jamesuperfun> but i suck and know no commands
[18:29] <wasutton3-Laptop> both apt-get and dpkg stall on "unpacking replacement python-minimal"
[18:29] <Jamesuperfun> EXEPT sudo apt- get
[18:29] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: with no errors?
[18:30] <Jamesuperfun> so whats your issue?
[18:30] <wasutton3-Laptop> the package i am using is python-minimal_2.6.6-2ubuntu2_all.deb. pulled from the repositories both via apt-get and manually
[18:30] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: nope, no errors
[18:30] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: it just sits there
[18:30] <pc600> where can you find the downlaods for linux-backports-modules-net-xxx packages?
[18:30] <Jamesuperfun> i got a fully- stable ubuntu and some time on my hands, i can tell you what to do, my pc is powerfull enough- weak point is graphics card/ i3 processor
[18:30] <edbian> trying running it with -V   (with is verbose)  and see if you can get more info.  Is it possible that python-minimal is just taking a long time?
[18:31] <Jamesuperfun> ok lets see...
[18:32] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: I dont think so, i let it run a good solid 20 minutes, it doesnt take my computer that long to unpack a new kernel and install it
[18:32] <pc600> I tried here, but can't find any:  http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-backports/allpackages
[18:32] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: Then try again with the -V flag and see if you can get more info
[18:32] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: Can you give me an example command that will get stuck on python-minimal.  Does it happen no matter what package you install?
[18:32] <cache_surplus> wasutton3-Laptop: how long does it take Your computer uusually?
[18:33] <Jamesuperfun> ok, i looked at your first comment(I am sorry if i missed a lot, hehe) but first lets se if you can uninstall the package via terminal/ synaptic
[18:33] <Jamesuperfun> THEN lets see if we can manually uninstall
[18:33] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: "sudo apt-get install iotop" would be an example, doesnt matter on which package
[18:33] <Jamesuperfun> then we decide from there
[18:33] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: what happens with the -V flag?
[18:33] <wasutton3-Laptop> cache_surplus: normally it takes about 5 minutes
[18:33] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: i am running it now
[18:34] <Jamesuperfun> ok im gonna find another issue cuz its terminal stuff and im a n00b on that
[18:34] <Jamesuperfun> Anyone here need some help fixing a problem?
[18:34] <edbian> It's so quite today!
[18:34] <hapsiko> hello
[18:34] <Jamesuperfun> hello
[18:34] <Jamesuperfun> u got an issue that needs fixing
[18:34] <hapsiko> can i ask a newbie question ?
[18:35] <Jamesuperfun> yeah
[18:35] <hapsiko> yeah ;p
[18:35] <edbian> hapsiko: yes
[18:35] <Jamesuperfun> go ahead we were all once newbies
[18:35] <Jamesuperfun> including me =P
[18:35] <hapsiko> so ... im new and im trying to open program with wine
[18:35] <Jamesuperfun> ahhh
[18:35] <hapsiko> when im opening it with wine
[18:35] <Jamesuperfun> wine, the dreaded wine
[18:35] <hapsiko> nothing happen
[18:35] <Jamesuperfun> yeah
[18:35] <cache_surplus> why are some still using wine???
[18:35] <Lantchips> hapsiko: Have you made it executable ?
[18:35] <datacrusher> cache_surplus, gaming issues?
[18:35] <Jamesuperfun> first we need to see if the program is compatible, it may not be
[18:35] <edbian> hapsiko: What app are you tyring to run?
[18:36] <cache_surplus> datacrusher: no
[18:36] <datacrusher> mostly arent
[18:36] <Jamesuperfun> wine got me installing my ubuntu three times over
[18:36] <hapsiko> Visual GameBoy  Advance
[18:36] <Jamesuperfun> so be carefull you dont ruin it
[18:36] <Jamesuperfun> vba
[18:36] <hapsiko> dam, i dont know what to do x|
[18:36] <cache_surplus> datacrusher: they cant ween off windows that far, that they have to come crawling back to it to be productive
[18:36] <Jamesuperfun> its a basic program, so I geuss it would work
[18:36] <edbian> hapsiko: Is that a gameboy advance emulator?  Just use the linux version in the repos
[18:37] <Jamesuperfun> gba emus arnt legal are they?
[18:37] <hapsiko> its one of the way
[18:37] <cache_surplus> virtual machine windows os's if you cant live without it.
[18:37] <Anchor> They are if you own the games.
[18:37] <hapsiko> but linux verions doesnt have the "speed up" cheat
[18:37] <cache_surplus> wine is so 90's
[18:37] <Jamesuperfun> hehe i would but my ubuntu would blow up
[18:37] <Jamesuperfun> plus i got 3 copies of windows dual booted
[18:37] <agentgasmask> Does anyone know the official support channel for openssh-server?
[18:37] <cache_surplus>  #openssh-server ?
[18:38] <Jamesuperfun> ok lets see
[18:38] <cache_surplus> agentgasmask: do a room list search
[18:38] <Jamesuperfun> I dont have wine installed but i remember a fair bit about it
[18:38] <Jamesuperfun> first lets do the basic, check your install was ok
[18:38] <cache_surplus> agentgasmask: i pull up the room list, then type, openssh, then down arrow, till you come accross what your looking for
[18:38] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: i pasted the entire output to http://pastebin.com/m4zViAuz
[18:39] <Jamesuperfun> under wine, you automatically get a program named 'notepad'. run it, see if it runs
[18:39] <GeekSquid> #openssh is the channel
[18:39] <agentgasmask> cache_surplus: ok, I'll look into that.
[18:40] <GeekSquid> Jamesuperfun: #winehq is the place to ask about wine and support for it
[18:40] <Jamesuperfun> ok then
[18:40] <Jamesuperfun> hap try that
[18:40] <Jamesuperfun> -hapsiko you there?
[18:40] <hapsiko> yeah
[18:40] <hapsiko> sorry
[18:40] <Jamesuperfun> Try the channel #winehq
[18:40] <cache_surplus> agentgasmask: example today i just typed in /join #eclipse.. there were 150 users there. so i assume thats the right room for eclipse
[18:40] <Jamesuperfun> i hear thats better
[18:41] <cache_surplus> there is an openssh room, 47 users currently there
[18:41] <Jamesuperfun> just say /join winehq
[18:41] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: no more info than that huh?
[18:41] <cache_surplus> openssh- and openssh_server notta...
[18:42] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: thats all it gave me. if you tell me what you need, i can go digging around for it
[18:42] <cache_surplus> its prolly #openssh
[18:43] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: I am thinking.
[18:43] <CAiRO__> hi
[18:43] <rocket16> I wish to add custom voice notifications to my ubuntu os for different instances, like when the power is low, or when the screensaver is going to be enabled, using festival. Where should I add my commands then?
[18:44] <CAiRO__> i want to be able to scan with my desktop user account, but it only works as root even though my user is in the "scanner" group
[18:44] <CAiRO__> how can i find out what device "scanimage" does use?
[18:44] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: I'm not sure what's wrong...
[18:44] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: i know, i have purged the package, tried it on a different machine, it works everywhere except my desktop
[18:45] <Lantchips> wasutton3-Laptop:
[18:45] <Lantchips> Did you try
[18:45] <Lantchips> sudo apt-get -f install ?
[18:45] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: Does purging the package also hang?
[18:45] <Lantchips> hmm why did it make that on three rows :/
[18:46] <wasutton3-Laptop> i purged it by forcibly removing .deb file. the purging with apt-get will also remove my entire GUI and a bunch of other stuff
[18:46] <aeon-ltd> Lantchips: because when you paste you paste the enters aswell
[18:46] <wasutton3-Laptop> its labelled as an "essential" package
[18:46] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: mmmm
[18:47] <andre2010> hi
[18:47] <Lantchips> aeon-ltd: ahh so it does that because I am lazy :) ahh ty ty
[18:47] <andre2010> hi
[18:47] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: check ur hdd
[18:47] <GeekSquid> andre2010: welcome to ubuntu! is there something we can help you with?
[18:47] <david506> I want ubuntu to add the noexec flag to all automatically mounted media, how can I do this ?
[18:47] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: look at the output of dmesg (although I doubt you'll see anything there)
[18:47] <GeekSquid> !fstab | david506
[18:48] <mirthman> any one good with serial devices?
[18:48] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: there is also extremly high disk usage (not space, bandwidth)
[18:48] <david506> I know about fstab, but I am talking about USB keys and stuff dynamically added by gnome's automounter,
[18:48] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: nope nothing in dmesg
[18:48] <andre2010> GeekSquid: Having problem installing. The install just stops http://paste.ubuntu.com/550341/
[18:48] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: Check the hdd
[18:49] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: which one? i have 6
[18:49] <GeekSquid> andre2010: seems your internet connection failed... it was in the middle of downloading  a package
[18:49] <sacarlson> david506: that's a good idea it must be posible
[18:49] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: The one that holds the / partition
[18:50] <andre2010> GeekSquid: tried again and again, and even now its not doing anything
[18:50] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: smart says that disk is healthy and it passed fsck on boot
[18:50] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: mmmm, I have no idea
[18:50] <david506> same question for ecryptfs
[18:50] <edbian> wasutton3-Laptop: It is a strange problem
[18:50] <chris_____> hello
[18:50] <wasutton3-Laptop> edbian: i know, and its infuriating, i may just reinstall
[18:51] <chris_____> perhaps anyone has a clue, i get frequent ATA erros from my sata drives with ubuntu
[18:51] <andre2010> GeekSquid: Stops here      65% [1 libapache2-mod-php5 1618975/2485kB 65%]       every time
[18:51] <chris_____> i searched google and found out there are many with the same problem, but no solution
[18:51] <royale1223> how can i create a new port?
[18:51] <GeekSquid> andre2010: that version of ubuntu is !eol end of life ... no longer supported
[18:51] <aeon-ltd> royale1223: port of what?
[18:51] <chris_____> (ubuntu 11.04)
[18:52] <edbian> royale1223: What do you mean?
[18:52] <royale1223> aeon-ltd, for rat
[18:52] <ZykoticK9> chris_____, for 11.04 issues ask in #ubuntu+1
[18:52] <Paolo_CT> Hi there, I installed Ubuntu in an old PC, but when I turn it off, I have to push the power button or else it will never power down.
[18:53] <royale1223> port 80 port 25 port 465 etc
[18:53] <Anchor> 11.04? Is there already a new version of Ubuntu out?
[18:53] <ZykoticK9> Anchor, alpha (or maybe beta) only
[18:53] <Anchor> Ah
[18:53] <andre2010> GeekSquid: You mean Jaunty?
[18:53] <GeekSquid> !jaunty | andre2010
[18:53] <edbian> Anchor: 11.04 will come out in April of 2011
[18:54] <royale1223> edbian, do u know?
[18:54] <edbian> royale1223: I don't know what rat is
[18:54] <andre2010> ubottu: Its the only Ubuntu for which my sound card works out the box :)
[18:54] <GeekSquid> andre2010: there is an option for you , hold on while I get the link
[18:55] <linux_direction> milamber. or stew. in relation to the commands that you guys suggested for duplicating my hdd. do i boot up with a live cd and perform the command(s)? or do i load my new ubu system, and execute it from there?
[18:55] <andre2010> I tried 9.10 and 10.4 ..... no music :(
[18:55] <Guest82329> how to make money using free software?please help me..
[18:55] <edbian> Guest82329: Write software, release it (open source), charge for support of the software.
[18:55] <aeon-ltd> Guest82329: no. if you plan on selling gnu open source software, then no
[18:56] <pc600> where acn I find linux-backports-modules-net for 10.0.4 for the modules off kernel 2.6.36?  I found the wireless one here, but the network one is nowhere to be found.  http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/admin/linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.36-2.6.32-26-generic
[18:56] <stew> linux_direction: you can't trust a backup of a harddrive that you are booted from, do it from a livecd
[18:57] <linux_direction> thanks stew : )
[18:57] <tuzlo> Good afternoon, I am using Ubuntu for the first time and cannot seem to connect to the local network that I had no issues connecting to with a windows machine.Is there something I am doing wrong?
[18:57] <red2kic> "How do I make money using free software?" As in "I want to make money creating contents using using open source softwares?"
[18:57] <red2kic> I wonder... :P
[18:57] <edbian> tuzlo: wifi or wired?
[18:57] <Anchor> Which data backup program do you recommend using with ubuntu?
[18:58] <tuzlo> edbian, wired
[18:58] <GeekSquid> andre2010: ok, I am going to describe this, I hope you can follow, ... if you edit /etc/apt/sources.list ... and change every URL line to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/LEAVETHEREST , then sudo apt-get update, you will be able to update, but it will be the last update you will ever get for that version
[18:58] <CT1> tuzlo: open terminal and type ifconfig
[18:58] <Guest82329> @aeon-ltd,no i didnt mean that....please suggest any open source project for a begginer
[18:58] <edbian> tuzlo: What happens when you try to connect. How are you trying to connect?
[18:58] <rajesh_> HELLOW

[19:05] <tuzlo> it lists off the dir's on the server edbian

[19:05] <goltoof> !patience
[19:06] <oscar> Hi everybody, I have problems mounting an external hard drive, can you help me?
[19:06] <OchoZero9> if i dont have  flash drive, but a usb hard drive
[19:06] <tuzlo> edbian, cant be permissions on the fileserver they were fine up until I installed ubuntu on this
[19:06] <royale1223> edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550355/
[19:06] <GeekSquid> rajesh_: alsamixer .... not alsmixer
[19:06] <edbian> Guest82329: If you have to ask how to get involved in an open source project it shows you haven't done any research on the subject online.
[19:06] <rajesh_> but i am unable to see the icon
[19:06] <edbian> royale1223: right now, your iptables is not blocking any ports.  They're all open.
[19:07] <everyrainyday> when i compile my c program i got a error said : " my_program_name host port name "   so what is it?
[19:07] <edbian> tuzlo: I'm not sure then.
[19:07] <GeekSquid> rajesh_: not GUI .... run in terminal ... Applications>accessories>Terminal ... then type alsamixer <enter>
[19:07] <aeon-ltd> rajesh_: type alsamixer into a terminal
[19:07] <Ub3r-N00b> hey guys  i just got out of windows, and im really used to "Win+E" to open my computer, could anyone help me out set hot key for opening my home folder ?  ..or refer me to a howto :D
[19:07] <edbian> oscar: I can help you
[19:07] <tuzlo> do I need samba running on ubuntu, only familiar with running samba on a server
[19:07] <maxo> Ub3r-N00b, ctrl+alt+home is default. otherwise, go to system, preferences, keyboard shortcuts and change it
[19:07] <everyrainyday> what host  port name means?
[19:07] <royale1223> edbian, do you know about nmap?
[19:08] <Guest82329> @enbian please suggest any project for a beginner....
[19:08] <oscar> edbian:  i usually connect the disk to the USB port and Ubuntu automatically mounts the disk, but a couple of weeks nautilus freezes and the program "Mount" uses 100% prossesor, then the PC freezes
[19:08] <Ub3r-N00b> maxo, not working but thanks i'll edit it :)
[19:08] <edbian> Guest82329: There is no such thing.  Beginner programmers are almost definitely not useful in an open source project.
[19:08] <edbian> royale1223: yes
[19:08] <everyrainyday> i got an error said : host port name     what is it?
[19:09] <Geek> so how do i find out what god dam cards work for ubuntu since this is bullshit that you support neither of my cards
[19:09] <edbian> oscar: Let's try to mount it manually.  What causes nautilus to freeze?  Plugging in the drive?
[19:09] <GeekSquid> !language | Geek--
[19:09] <aeon-ltd> !tab | Guest82329
[19:09] <everyrainyday> does any one here know about a compile error said : host port name ?
[19:09] <Geek--> i dont see any bad words for maybe bullshit
[19:09] <Voting1> printing help needed! My print job says "pending" and nothing seems to be happening. Not sure that I ever got this laptop to print on my canon mx860. Perhaps I have. Just don't remember. Can anyone help me?
[19:10] <everyrainyday> does any one here know about a compile error said : host port name ?
[19:10] <everyrainyday> does any one here know about a compile error said : host port name ?
[19:10] <FloodBot4> everyrainyday: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:10] <Anchor> Geek: what card do you have?
[19:10] <oscar> edbian: how can i munt it manually?
[19:11] <GeekSquid> Geek--: this would be your last warning, there could be children in this room, and we like to keep things nice (and talking about god that way is considered impolite, or even disrespectful)
[19:11] <Guest82329> @edbian i mean documentation works
[19:11] <edbian> oscar: sudo mount /dev/sdX /path/to/some/folder
[19:11] <royale1223> edbian, thanks
[19:11] <Geek--> I have a belkin and a D link card... both dont work no matter what i do
[19:11] <andre2010> GeekSquid: I'll give that a go
[19:12] <axisys> i am trying remote mount a fs using sshfs and it is failing.. anyone can suggest what I am doing wrong here? http://pastebin.com/BW86C0Ne
[19:12] <Anchor> Geek--get me the model please?
[19:12] <edbian> Guest82329: I don't know any
[19:12] <Geek--> F5D8073 and ... let me find the box
[19:12] <OchoZero9> how do i use usb creater with an external hard drive
[19:12] <edbian> royale1223: no problem :)
[19:12] <maxo> axisys, why are you trying to add a user to the fuse group?
[19:12] <Geek--> dwa-125
[19:12] <Anchor> I just got a card working on my friend's laptop, so maybe I can help you.
[19:13] <axisys> maxo: i am making sure I (iqbala) am in the fuse group
[19:13] <oscar> edbian: nautilus freeze because mount program stops responding
[19:13] <maxo> axisys, I use sshfs all the time, I've never had to do that
[19:13] <jonte> Hello, what are the notification "bubbles" in ubuntu called? I'd like to pop one up programmatically.
[19:13] <axisys> maxo: well it by default add you to the fuse group
[19:13] <dmaxel> libnotify
[19:13] <maxo> jonte: libnotify
[19:13] <axisys> maxo: i was just double checking
[19:13] <physically_fit> what type of quote do i have to use to add and run a terminal command in the main menu. i'm trying to run "LC_NUMERIC=C projectM-pulseaudio" from the menu but i'm getting errors (the "LC_NUMERIC=C" parameter is to solve a problem with project M). it runks ok from the command line.)
[19:13] <jonte> Cheers!
[19:13] <edbian> oscar: But what causes it to freeze?  Pluggin in the drive?  Double clicking the drive?  running the mount command?
[19:14] <Voting1> Printing help needed! My print job says "pending" and nothing seems to be happening. Not sure that I ever got this laptop to print on my canon mx860. Perhaps I have. Just don't remember. Can anyone help me? I'm running a pretty new install of Lucid.
[19:14] <edbian> axisys: Can you log into the remote machine via normal ssh?
[19:14] <maxo> axisys: sshfs username@host: /some/mount/path  should work fine
[19:14] <andre2010> !eol
[19:14] <edbian> jonte: use notify-send or zenity packages
[19:14] <axisys> edbian: yes..
[19:14] <GeekSquid> Voting1: hint http://localhost:631
[19:15] <axisys> maxo: but as you can see it did not for me
[19:15] <edbian> axisys: mmm.  What errors do you get when you try to mount?
[19:15] <maxo> edbian, connection reset by peer sounds like it could be a problem with the server
[19:15] <jonte> edbian, Sounds good, thanks!
[19:15] <maxo> * sorry I emant axisys
[19:15] <edbian> maxo: what?
[19:15] <Voting1> GeekSquid: Checking it out now...
[19:15] <maxo> edbian, sorry I meant axisys
[19:15] <edbian> maxo: no worries
[19:16] <Danny78> ok, I'm a noob I admit...  setting up my web server, I've installed all necessary packages...  now where do I start?
[19:16] <maxo> Danny78, /var/www
[19:16] <edbian> Danny78: take your browser to 127.0.0.1
[19:16] <axisys> edbian: u mean try fusemount ?
[19:16] <edbian> axisys: It should work without fusemount
[19:16] <Guest82329> how can i involve in open source project?
[19:17] <maxo> axisys, ssh serverhost -l yourusername
[19:17] <Danny78> 127.0.0.1 says welcome to nginx
[19:17] <rajesh_> thanks
[19:17] <axisys> edbian: mount it self gets no error.. it shows nothing mounted on /ftp0
[19:17] <Danny78> does that mean I need to remove nginx to use apache?
[19:17] <ThisBeMyNick> Hi, microphone on USB headset has very low recording level. Could it be a driver problem?
[19:17] <edbian> Guest82329: Pick an open source app you wanna work on.  Google for the website for that app.  Contact the developers of that app.  I have no idea what app would be good for a beginner.
[19:17] <gobbe> Danny78: or configure nginx to pass traffic to apache
[19:17] <AbhiJit> Guest82329, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43649/how-to-get-involved-in-an-open-source-project
[19:17] <spontator> I need help with "autoaudiosink" not found
[19:18] <rajesh_> will get in touch to all ubuntu users
[19:18] <axisys> edbian: http://pastebin.com/c5r5RKsv
[19:18] <rajesh_> bye
[19:18] <physically_fit> help. what do i have to add to run a terminal command in the main menu. i'm trying to run "LC_NUMERIC=C projectM-pulseaudio" from the menu, but i'm getting errors (the "LC_NUMERIC=C" parameter is to solve a problem with project M). it runks ok from the command line. projectM-pulseaudio is the program.
[19:18] <edbian> Danny78: You should not have 2 web servers running at once.
[19:18] <rajesh_> quit
[19:18] <axisys> edbian: let me in right away
[19:18] <Danny78> ebdian:  yeah, that's what I thought...  I'll just uninstall xginx
[19:18] <el_seano> ohnoes!  My netscapez are melting the boxen
[19:18] <edbian> axisys: That's odd.  Does df -h show it as mounted?
[19:18] <Guest82329> @ABHIjIT THANK YOU
[19:18] <el_seano> ... wrong window.
[19:19] <axisys> edbian: not mounted
[19:19] <AbhiJit> :/
[19:19] <edbian> axisys: mmmm
[19:19] <axisys> edbian: sudo sshfs ftp0: /ftp works just fine
[19:19] <AbhiJit> barack_osama lol
[19:19] <edbian> axisys: I thought you just said it wasn't mounting?
[19:20] <axisys> edbian: not if I run as me ..
[19:20] <aarcane> Where can I find the x86_64 installer for UNR ?
[19:20] <Anchor> Is there any way to establish an equivalent to a PST on Thunderbird?
[19:20] <edbian> axisys: oh sudo.  Well that explains that.  you need to change the permissions on /ftp
[19:21] <aeon-ltd> aarcane: there isn't one
[19:21] <axisys> edbian: my original pastebin shows I did the chown first
[19:21] <maxo> Anchor, you mean like Outlook PST? Thunderbird settings and messages are stored in the folder ~/.thunderbird if that helps
[19:21] <axisys> edbian: http://pastebin.com/BW86C0Ne
[19:21] <Voting1> GeekSquid: OK, I see the CUPS page at http://localhost:631/. Would it make sense to de-install and re-install the printer?
[19:21] <aarcane> aeon-ltd, well, I want ubuntu netbook on my 64 bit laptop.  what do I need to to accomplish that ?
[19:21] <edbian> axisys: Do you have permissison to read the folder you're mounting on the remote machine?
[19:21] <physically_fit> nevermind. i just created an executable file with that command. bye.
[19:21] <Anchor> maxo: Yeah. Thanks
[19:21] <aeon-ltd> aarcane: most netbooks aren't 64bit yet, besides the gains of 64bit for a netbook is tiny given that compatibility would cause problems
[19:21] <Doinkle> Anchor, in what context?
[19:21] <Voting1> GeekSquid:   And, if so, how?
[19:21] <AbhiJit> !64
[19:22] <Anchor> Doinkle: similar to Outlook, where I can view my emails offline.
[19:22] <axisys> edbian: yes .. ssh ftp0: and i see my home dir fine.. that is what I am trying to mount
[19:22] <aeon-ltd> aarcane: ubuntu netbook remix is just ubuntu with unity, if there is a 64bit version of unitu you canjust install regular 64bit ubuntu then install unity
[19:22] <Doinkle> ah, maxo answered that :)
[19:22] <aarcane> aeon-ltd, hrrm..  okay, I'll try that.
[19:23] <Anchor> Doinkle: Yeah, but thanks for the kindness.
[19:23] <maxo> does anyone know if Banshee has a shortcut to show the libnotify osd of the currently playing song? Amarok had something like Win+O
[19:23] <aarcane> where do I go to submit feature requests to ubuntu ?  most specifically installer related feature requests

[19:25] <Guest34490> hello, i'm using in windows the microphone of my internal webcam, but i'm not able to do the same in ubuntu, is there a way to do it? thanks in advance
[19:25] <SvenL-|2> Sorry for being very off-topic. I have just a small question about english. Is "Not for download" correct ? meaning it cannot be downloaded (like a breakfast)
[19:25] <gobbe> Danny78: service apache start
[19:25] <gobbe> Danny78: sudo before
[19:25] <AbhiJit> SvenL-|2, come in ##English
[19:25] <SvenL-|2> Thank you, and sorry
[19:26] <Jamesuperfun> so anyone need help with something?
[19:26] <Danny78> : edbian :  It works
[19:26] <Danny78> thanks!
[19:26] <epl> Guest34490: What ubuntu version are you using?
[19:26] <Guest34490> epl: 10.10
[19:27] <pinPoint> I have a 320gb drive thats visible in disk utility but won't mount?
[19:27] <pinPoint> device:/dev/sda1
[19:27] <pinPoint> i did mount /dev/sda
[19:27] <pinPoint> mount: can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[19:28] <genii-around> pinPoint: sda is the entire disk. sda1 or sda2 etc is a partition which holds a filesystem somewhere ON the entire disk
[19:28] <Anchor> So I'd like to obtain a firewall for use on Ubuntu.
[19:28] <Danny78> :gobbe:  My FQDN doesn't work and I assume that's because of a need to configure config files.  So, do people normally set up the site at 127.0.0.1 and THEN update configs to go live?
[19:28] <AbhiJit> !ufw | Anchor
[19:28] <ZykoticK9> pinPoint, you might want to try "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" and see if it mounts ok
[19:29] <Anchor> AbhiJit: thanks.
[19:29] <AbhiJit> Anchor, welcome. :)
[19:30] <troshka> есть кто
[19:30] <pinPoint> ZykoticK9: I think it mount the cd drive
[19:30] <arrr> ага
[19:30] <ZykoticK9> !ru | troshka
[19:30] <pinPoint> even though disk utility lists 320gb for /sda1
[19:31] <pinPoint> actually nvm
[19:31] <ZykoticK9> pinPoint, FYI "sudo umount /mnt" to unmount whatever is there
[19:31] <Israfel> hmmm 'shred' doesn't seem to do anything.

[19:32] <gadeynebram> Hi all! Could someone help me out on a lpr printing problem? When I print pages, the last one is only printed after I cancel the job..
[19:33] <JoshDreamland> Is here a way to have ubuntu wait for a few seconds of the laptop lid being closed to hibernate?
[19:33] <troshka> понятно(ни кто ни чем помочь не может(
[19:33] <pinPoint> ZykoticK9: can I mount the whole sda? It says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[19:33] <JoshDreamland> Because nothing pisses me off more than when I accidentally let the lid drop and it hibernates as I open it
[19:34] <arrr> troshka: 3po тебе нужна, см в приват. see private msg
[19:34] <_Neytiri_> i am having a issue with the networking on Ubuntu server 10.10 i set the /etc/network/interfaces file to use a static ip address and it works but then later on it changes back to a dhcp assigned address even tho the file still says static
[19:34] <bastidrazor> JoshDreamland: have it just blank the screen instead of hibernate. manually tell it to hibernate to solve this 'user' issues
[19:34] <twiztid> can someone help with a flickering problem on a  ATI X1300 on Ubuntu 10.10?
[19:34] <JoshDreamland> bastidrazor: That's a pain, too
[19:34] <Danny78> How to I put a link to my filesystem on my desktop?  Dragging and dropping, it says "can't open mountable file"
[19:34] <ZykoticK9> pinPoint, no you can't mount a drive, only partitions (sda is a drive, sda1 the 1 is partition)
[19:35] <pinPoint> ok
[19:35] <pinPoint> ZykoticK9: sda3 was the cause of the problems since chkdsk in window won't run
[19:35] <pinPoint> I'm still getting specify the filesystem type with sda3
[19:36] <axisys> edbian, maxo: found the problem !
[19:36] <ZykoticK9> pinPoint, you can use "sudo fdisk -l" to list all the partitions and there types
[19:36] <axisys> sshfs -odebug,sshfs_debug,loglevel=debug ftp0: /ftp0 says

[19:47] <kinabalu> Hey guys I have an XGI graphics chipset Z7/Z9 and just installed Ubuntu ... the UI though is horribly laggy and trying to find ways to make it better
[19:47] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[19:47] <Jamesuperfun> lets see...
[19:47] <Jamesuperfun> have you got desktop effects on?
[19:47] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: all turned off
[19:47] <Jamesuperfun> ok then
[19:48] <red2kic> kinabalu: Additional Driver enabled?
[19:48] <Jamesuperfun> i got a crap intel chipset and mines ok with it on...
[19:48] <Jamesuperfun> ok lets try this
[19:48] <kinabalu> red2kic: i ran to find 'em and didn't.
[19:48] <Jamesuperfun> i WARN YOU this may crash your system but oddly this seems to work sometimes for me
[19:48] <kinabalu> heh shutdown -h now? :)
[19:48] <Jamesuperfun> how slow is it?
[19:49] <herghost> Can a daemon be set to run as the login prompt is presented instead of when a user logs in?
[19:49] <Jamesuperfun> REALLY SLOW or just enough that it irritates you?
[19:49] <kinabalu> its somewhat *usable* but draggin a window i can see it moving
[19:49] <kinabalu> it runs fine with Windows on it
[19:49] <Thopter> Trash is reporting it has 6 files to delete.  When I open the Trash folder, there are no files at all, not even hidden ones.  How do I reset the Trash to not report 6 non-existent files?
[19:49] <Jamesuperfun> because i was gonna suggest turning the effects on. on a lot of games i find that turning up the graphics tends to speed it up a bit.
[19:50] <Jamesuperfun> how slow?
[19:50] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: heh
[19:50] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: how do I measure it?
[19:50] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[19:50] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: i can see the window multiple times when dragging it
[19:50] <Jamesuperfun> try turning effects to medium
[19:50] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[19:50] <Jamesuperfun> quite slow
[19:50] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: Searching for available drivers
[19:50] <trism> Thopter: the applet occasionally gets confused, logging out then back in again will probably fix it
[19:51] <Jamesuperfun> TRY medium but i CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE if ur comp requires a reinstall of linux
[19:51] <Jamesuperfun> ok try that ya
[19:51] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: Desktop effects could not be enabled
[19:51] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[19:51] <Jamesuperfun> then it seems u need drivers
[19:51] <Jamesuperfun> since you got ubuntu, have you rebooted?
[19:51] <habanany> #blackberry
[19:51] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: it does that after the install, yes.  and I've also rebooted
[19:51] <Jamesuperfun> like, is this your first use or have you restarted?
[19:51] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[19:52] <Jamesuperfun> now go where i say...
[19:52] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: apple.com? :)
[19:52] <Jamesuperfun> system> Administration>Hardware drivers
[19:52] <Jamesuperfun> tell me what it says there
[19:52] <red2kic> herghost: /etc/rc.local -- Perhaps.
[19:53] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: there's something called Additional Drivers which says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[19:53] <Jamesuperfun> ok then
[19:53] <Jamesuperfun> sorry, what is the make of your chipset??
[19:53] <herghost> red2kic: thanks
[19:54] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: XGI z7/z9
[19:54] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: embedded chipset bullshit
[19:54] <Pici> kinabalu: Please mind your language here.
[19:54] <red2kic> herghost: Look at "su --help" if you want the daemon to run under your username, not root.
[19:54] <kinabalu> apologies
[19:54] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[19:54] <kinabalu> is Pici a bot?
[19:55] <Jamesuperfun> you need to go to your manufacturers website and see if u can get a driver for linux
[19:55] <Pici> kinabalu: No.
[19:55] <red2kic> kinabalu: No.
[19:55] <herghost> red2kic: thanks again

[19:58] <roni> hi everybody ..
[19:59] <roni> somebody that have installed ubuntu with a ati 9250 ?
[19:59] <Jamesuperfun> ok, seems they dont have a site/ its not on google
[19:59] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: apparently ATI bought them
[19:59] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[20:00] <Jamesuperfun> any idea if SiS or Trident?
[20:00] <roni> i im tryng to install ubuntu , but dosent work .. now i m installing , but with the onboard video ...
[20:00] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: what's the difference?
[20:00] <roni> onboard works perfect ..
[20:00] <Jamesuperfun> well nvm
[20:00] <kinabalu> I think its SiS
[20:00] <Jamesuperfun> ok
[20:00] <hihihi100> in the applications menu, inside, lets say, internet section, if i create a folder, how can I put an icon inlieu of the folder icon?
[20:01] <hihihi100> instead of the folder i want to see a ray, or ewhatever
[20:01] <Jamesuperfun> since we cant get a hold of the drivers, there isnt a lot i can do. I have to go, but you should keep searching for the drivers. If you find them for linux/ ubuntu, then install them. That should fix your issue. Also try this:
[20:01] <Jamesuperfun> have you run the update utility
[20:02] <unsigned> After a minimal ubuntu (9.10) install df shows about ~500MB used. Is there a way to reduce that? e.g. /usr/share /usr/src, how do I know if I need that?
[20:02] <djindy> Hello, I have a netbook that I recently upgraded to Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10. It is having some rather odd problems now (with wireless networking and right clicking, and installing drivers), which I think are due to errors during the upgrade (I've run 10.10 on identical hardware without these issues). Is there a way to clean reinstall 10.10 without moving or losing all the files on the computer (especially the home folder files?)
[20:02]  * tiox reminds people: It's sometimes better to simply reinstall Linux.
[20:02] <erUSUL> tiox: that ruins all the fun ;P
[20:03] <roni> somebody with ati problem at install ubuntu 10.10 ?
[20:03] <Jamesuperfun> OK go to system> Administration > Update manager
[20:03] <roni> ubuntu 9.04 works ..
[20:03] <geek> im here
[20:03] <Jamesuperfun> run it and hope for the best
[20:03] <roni> but 10.10 dosent work with ati .. even install
[20:03] <kinabalu> Jamesuperfun: will do, thanks
[20:04] <boondoklife> Anyone here got an intel 4965 to work on a N network?
[20:04] <Jamesuperfun> A lot of things tend to be only fixable in terminal, and since I have limited knowledge there, you should ask someone else and tell them what we have tried
[20:04] <root_> hi all
[20:05] <cainus> hey all.. can anyone tell me why a chmod 777 would only set the file to 755 ?
[20:05] <roni> no body ati problema ? nobody got ati  ?
[20:05] <Jamesuperfun> Bye, and I wish you the best of luck in fixing your driver problem! =)
[20:07] <erUSUL> cainus: what filesystem?
[20:07] <cainus> erUSUL: how do I tell?
[20:08] <erUSUL> cainus: well is you home folder? or a usb disk?
[20:08] <cainus> whatever's standard on ubuntu for amd 64
[20:08] <cainus> it's on virtualbox

[20:12] <EvilSushi> hi guys, does anyone know if it is possible to bind vnc to a SSH tunnel that is currently open?
[20:12] <twiztid> how do i update my kernel to 2.6.37?
[20:13] <d3bugger> hello
[20:13] <JonLoeffler> when i go into synaptic to install simon when i mark simon it says simon:
[20:13] <JonLoeffler>  Depends: libqtmultimediakit1  but it is not installable
[20:13] <JonLoeffler>  Depends: sox  but it is not installable
[20:14] <erUSUL> cainus: weird
[20:14] <cainus> erUSUL: k at least I'm not crazy ;)
[20:15] <wolfric> I'm following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer It mentions on the live cd having /cdrom/install/netboot. I've loaded up the 10.10 live cd and it doesn't have that directory
[20:15] <wolfric> under /cdrom/install it only has mt86plus, README and smb.bin
[20:15] <maxo> twiztid, it's not officially supported on maverick, but I think there are packages here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[20:16] <twiztid> maxo: thx! im on it
[20:17] <twiztid> maxo: ok should i use v2.6.37-rc1-maverick/?
[20:18] <Geek--> anyone know how to get a ralink rt2860 card to work?
[20:18] <JonLoeffler>  Depends: sox  but it is not installable

[20:18] <JonLoeffler>   Depends: sox  but it is not installable
[20:19] <maxo> twiztid, I'm afraid I don't know. just make sure you can still boot up with your current kernel in case of problems (I think it should just add an extra entry to grub)
[20:20] <twiztid> maxo: ok ya, im still quite the noob... im just trying to resolve a screen flickering issue and someone from #radeon suggested that 2.6.37 addressed it....
[20:21] <djindy> Is there a way to do a 'clean' reinstall of Ubuntu without losing my home folder files?
[20:22] <wazz> Hi, is it possible to download a file with sftp and disconnect after it has been done?
[20:22] <maxo> wazz: google scp
[20:23] <brontoeee> djindy, if its on separated partition, then easily
[20:23] <mattyh88> hi, i'm wondering which option to choose when configuring postfix: 'internet site', 'internet with smarthost', 'satellite system', 'local only'. I just like to send out emails, receiving emails is not neccessary
[20:24] <djindy> brontoeee, is there a way if it is not on a separate partition? or is it easiest to just repartition my drives and move it to a new partition?
[20:24] <twiztid> how do i implement a newer kernel? could someone explain it to me? im a good walkthrough'er
[20:24] <wazz> maxo, thanks.
[20:25] <brontoeee> djhash, just backup your home folder somewhere on external drive maybe

[20:26] <brontoeee> mattyh88, satellite is the easiest, it makes your isp smtp to work for you
[20:26] <maxo> twiztid, you prob. just need to download those packages and do sudo dpkg -i on them
[20:26] <djindy> brontoeee, I was afraid those might be the only options. I can do it that way but just wanted to see if there was another way. Thanks though
[20:26] <brontoeee> djindy, you should backup in any case
[20:26] <hidnshadows> Anyone need any general troubleshooting?
[20:27] <maxo> djindy, always backup anyway :-)
[20:27] <twiztid> maxo: ok and so i run dpkg -i from the folder its in? and will it create its own spot in grub? and do i have to run update-grub?
[20:28] <djoef> Hi, I have this issue with vars and autocomplete in bash. export myvar=/foo/bar; cd $myvar/<tab> doesn't autocomplete. I asked in #bash and they believe it could be a bug, can anyone clear this out ?
[20:28] <maxo> twiztid, I know when kernel updates are pushed through it updates grub automagically. so I'm not sure
[20:28] <thomc> I'm trying to install Ubuntu but the installer keeps hanging.
[20:28] <hidnshadows> Djoef is hat slash between foo bar supposed to be there?
[20:29] <djindy> maxo, yea, I know, and for my personal setups I usually have multiple partitions to avoid this issue, but this is not my personal setup. Oh well.
[20:29] <maxo> twiztid, prob. follow something like this: http://usablesoftware.wordpress.com/2010/05/26/switch-to-a-newer-kernel-in-ubuntu-10-04/
[20:29] <twiztid> maxo: k... well it prob wont hurt to run update-grub anyway... im just so new to the kernal updating process
[20:29] <hidnshadows> Thomc is it a genuine ubuntu lived?
[20:29] <djoef> hidnshadows, yes
[20:30] <wolfric> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer what is the point in the apache server in this guide?
[20:30] <thomc> hidnshadows, yeh, well, on a USB stick.
[20:30] <mattyh88> brontoeee: ok thank you :)
[20:30] <hidnshadows> Djoef are you sure the hdd has firmware drivers?
[20:30] <djoef> hidnshadows, e.g. export myvar=/mydir/mysubdir; cd $myvar/mysubsubdir to get to /mydir/mysubdir/mysubsubdir
[20:31] <llutz> wolfric: to install over http (as mentioned in the howto)
[20:31] <djoef> It does work with cd "$myvar"/mysub<tab> (note the quotes)
[20:31] <thomc> Ok, this is weird, the installation is complete now, but it was doing this thing where it was hanging, and then it appeared to "wake up" and start working again (hard drive activity etc) when I moved the mouse. Very strange.
[20:31] <steiner> what are group and other in regard to permissions?
[20:31] <hidnshadows> Thomc what'd you use to load the USB stick?

[20:48] <maxo> xrdodrx, or you can select the language when installing I believe

I can run glxgears but I get a black window. no errors are thrown, but I don't see any frames info with -info switch on.

[21:16] <nishttal2> Hi there.. i just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and having issues with dual heads on my Quadro NVS 420..
[21:16] <nishttal2> i have been struggling with this for 5 hrs
[21:16] <nishttal2> can someone please help
[21:17] <dresiss> nishttal2
[21:17] <dresiss> what drivers are you using?
[21:17] <dresiss> cotrollers*
[21:17] <dresiss> controllers**
[21:17] <nishttal2> dresiss, i downloaded from nvidia
[21:17] <dresiss> and
[21:17] <Denis> About minecraft wiki.
[21:17] <nishttal2> ran it from the shell
[21:17] <dresiss> well, you installed it, but
[21:17] <dresiss> is it working?
[21:17] <nishttal2> it compiled with the kernel and everything
[21:17] <dresiss> ok
[21:17] <nishttal2> of the 4 monitors.. only 2 work
[21:18] <dresiss> try to find
[21:18] <dresiss> if the module is working
[21:18] <dresiss> (loaded)
[21:18] <nishttal2> and the NVIDIA settings manager only shows 1 GPU
[21:18] <dresiss> for configure nvidia use
[21:18] <dresiss> nvidia-xsettings
[21:18] <nishttal2> this card has two GPUs
[21:18] <dresiss> you need to configure the who GPUs
[21:18] <dresiss> on
[21:18] <dresiss> xorg
[21:18] <dresiss> you have configured only one
[21:19] <nishttal2> dresiss, i didnt configure anything
[21:19] <dresiss> but you need to
[21:19] <nishttal2> dresiss, its the driver that did all configuration
[21:19] <dresiss> configure xorg with the two heads
[21:19] <nishttal2> ok.. how do I do that?
[21:19] <dresiss> the driver
[21:19] <dresiss> configured only one gpu
[21:19] <dresiss> install it like
[21:19] <dresiss> two diferent graphic cards
[21:19] <dresiss> i'm not sure
[21:20] <dresiss> but i think it would be like tho graphics
[21:20] <dresiss> who*
[21:20] <dresiss> two**
[21:23] <Spreadsheet> I found a tool for making man pages
[21:23] <dresiss> name?
[21:23] <Spreadsheet> There's a lot of people who have gotten into programming because of Ubuntu's great development environment
[21:23] <Spreadsheet> http://rtomayko.github.com/ronn/
[21:23] <Spreadsheet> However, making man pages is still hard
[21:23] <dresiss> yes, it is
[21:24] <Spreadsheet> Most beginners probably want something more readable
[21:24] <Spreadsheet> There's really no good guide to making man pages, as I have found from googling... the macros are confusing
[21:24] <Spreadsheet> So I found the ronn tool. It turns markdown into man pages
[21:24] <dresiss> ohh
[21:24] <Spreadsheet> It's written in Ruby, so I don't know if teh Ubunu lords will promote it
[21:24] <dresiss> thanks, Spreadsheet
[21:24] <dresiss> !
[21:24] <DJAshnar> How do I run http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ as root?
[21:25] <dresiss> sudo in terminal
[21:25] <dresiss> or
[21:25] <dresiss> gksudo
[21:25] <dresiss> in graphical environment
[21:25] <FloodBot4> dresiss: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:25] <DJAshnar> how does one use GKSudo?
[21:26] <dresiss> make a launcher
[21:26] <dresiss> for the program, and change the command adding gksudo at the start
[21:26] <nishttal2> dresiss,
[21:26] <dresiss> for example, if you want to run firefox, the command is gksudo firefox
[21:26] <Nitocris> after fresh install 10.10 kernel panic....reinstalled 5 time same thing:Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) any ideas?
[21:26] <prodigel> Hi all, using ubuntu 10.10 here, virtual machine 'natted' on a different class, aplied the standard masquerade/forward iptables rules, still the thing doesn't work. I've checked routing tables on vmachine, looks ok, also ip_forward flag is set to 1... I ran out if ideas :D
[21:26] <prodigel> PS: yesterday it worked :o
[21:26] <ish10> hey guys why do ppl use ar instead of tar for static libraries?
[21:26] <dresiss> nishttal, what?
[21:27] <CannonFodder> does anyone know if there is a simple fix for having to rebuil
[21:27] <DJAshnar> says "Error: Not Root" on launch
[21:27] <CannonFodder> d the nvidia dkms module on kernel upgrade?
[21:29]  * Nitocris looks around with hope in his eyes
[21:30] <tensorpudding> that's odd
[21:31] <tensorpudding> i was having issues with update-initramfs failing due to lack of space on device
[21:31] <tensorpudding> but my partition had plenty of space
[21:31] <tensorpudding> on a hunch, i removed some old kernels anyway, and it worked fine afterwards
[21:31] <Nitocris> Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)  happens after fresh install.cant get around it :(
[21:32] <tensorpudding> which leads me to believe that kernels are picky about where in said partition they can inhabit, though i'm not positive
[21:34] <hidnshadows> Is there any way to change MAC address?
[21:35] <Wribbe> next
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> hidnshadows: I know you can do it in /etc/network/interfaces
[21:37] <carera> is ubuntu netbook edition also suitable for standard notebook? i have low ram on mine
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> carera: sure, should be ok. If you install Ubuntu then install LXDE and use that instead, it will use less RAM
[21:37] <xathrus> I am stuck, I loaded ubuntu 10.10 and as it loads for first run the graphics card will not load right. I can see the very top of the desktop and the mouse move around at the top, but the rest is blanked out. using nvidea geforce 8300. anybody seen this before?
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> hidnshadows: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu.html
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> xathrus: get full updates and  install the proprioetary nvidia driver. Might make it ok
[21:38] <hidnshadows> Actionparsnip I'll Check that out thanks
[21:39] <Wribbe> anyone here using gtypist? =)
[21:39] <xathrus> I did get the updates but I will do it again. HOw do I load the proprietary updates not being able to see the desk top? is there a safe mode or something? Sorry, I am new to linux.
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> !info nvidia-current
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> xathrus: install that in a terminal using apt-get
[21:41] <feanor2> why ubuntu is so damned slow even with fluxbox used? is it a kernel?
[21:41] <xathrus> I acnt get to the terminal, I can't see the desktop
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> feanor2: depends what other configs you have and services
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> xathrus: boot to root recovery mode with network then
[21:41] <GeekSquid> xathrus: do alt-f2 ... then type jockey-gtk <enter> wait 1min then press tab twice and <enter> wait 20sec enter your password <enter> ... wait 2min then reboot
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> feanor2: if you have 128Mb ram running fluxbox but are running an SQL service which is very active, it will run slow (as an example)
[21:42] <xathrus> Sweet thank you very much
[21:43] <rifter> I am having some trouble with gnu tar on my ubuntu box.  I am trying to tar up a bunch of files with spaces in their names, which tar won't like so I need to use quotes.  I'm using a while loop to do it, but when I use tar -r or tar -u to add the file, I get the error saying the file doesn't look like a tar file.  the file command says it is a tar file.  The tar command says it is too and -t and -x work fine on the file, but neither -
[21:43] <rifter> r nor -u work.  I found there was an ancient bug in gnu tar which did this, but it was supposedly fixed years ago. Any suggestions?
[21:43] <bastidrazor> GeekSquid: jockey isn't going to install any driver like that. it will just show you what is available if anything.
[21:44] <rifter> tar version is 1.23-2 on ubuntu 10.10
[21:45] <rifter> any suggestions?
[21:45] <casual> chatty bunch
[21:46] <jldesign> Hello.
[21:46] <jldesign> I install Ubuntu 8.04 on new Dell PowerEdge T610 with NIC as NetXtreme II BCM5709, but i have probleme with NIC it is not wokring.
[21:46] <jldesign> any help please
[21:46] <rifter> I'm open to other options than tar; I need to be able to backup and compress these files.  I am not using the -z flag or anything like that because I know tar cannot append to compressed archives
[21:47] <jldesign> sorry it was on  Ubuntu Serveru 10.10
[21:47] <Diverdude> I have 400 references in 1 bibfile (my ref-database). In my article i only use 30 of those 400. I want to extract those into another bibfile containing only the 30. Is there an easy way of doing this or do i have to manually go through all 30 references, locate them in the large bibfile and manually copy them to a new bibfile?
[21:47] <rifter> jldesign, that version is very old; I am not sure whether it is using an up-to-date kernel. Any particular reaosn you are using that version?
[21:47] <rifter> jldesign, oh okay better
[21:47] <jldesign> no sorry it was on  Ubuntu Serveru 10.10
[21:47] <jldesign> rifter, thx it was on  Ubuntu Serveru 10.10  but i have  prbleme
[21:48] <rifter> sounds like it is a broadcom nic jldesign
[21:48] <jldesign> yes
[21:48] <jldesign> rifter, yes
[21:48] <rifter> okay I am not familiar with it right off the top of my head but will see what I can dig up jldesign
[21:48] <xtc> I llove Linux <3 UBUNTU 10.10 ;) THE BEST SYSTEM
[21:48] <jldesign> rifter, thanks
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> I love XPUD :)
[21:49] <rtdos> what's the version name of ubuntu 10.10 ?
[21:49] <KimLaroux> Which file system is recommended for a 32gb flash drive that is reliable on both Window$ and Linux and can handle files over 4gb?
[21:50] <rtdos> maverick?
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> !maverick | rtdos
[21:50] <rifter> well jldesign the good news is the bce driver is supposed to support that nic
[21:50] <rtdos> thanks.
[21:50] <SwedeMike> KimLaroux: there is only one fs that does that and it's NTFS.
[21:50] <phaidros> hey guys, I have a weired sound problem with lucid on msi windbox (no gnome, no pulse), user is not allowed to use the sound device. with sudo alsa force-reload it works for a moment, but not from scripts (eg. start mplayer -ao alsa from a script), user in in group autio. any hints? kinda urgent, sry :/
[21:50] <rifter> jldesign, what happens when you do lsmod | grep bce
[21:51] <KimLaroux> SwedeMike, Is NTFS now reliably supported under Linux?
[21:51] <jldesign> rifter, i don't have the machin now
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: how is sound urgent?
[21:51] <jldesign> i can't test
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: what is the full make / model of the system? what release are you using?
[21:52] <rifter> phaidros, have you confirmed that the device is owned by that group?
[21:52] <phaidros> ack, but php putting the same as banks is kinda wrong, as I can fix my php problems myslf, I cant fix money problems.
[21:52] <phaidros> wrong :)
[21:52] <SwedeMike> KimLaroux: yes.
[21:52] <jldesign> rifter, give me any idea i will try this tomorow
[21:52] <KimLaroux> SwedeMike, Thanks, I'll try it out =)
[21:52] <Wribbe> anyone would know why the letter "å" would show up as: "M-CM-%" in terminal?
[21:52] <SwedeMike> KimLaroux: there is no alternative anyway.
[21:52] <feanor2> KimLaroux, you get only basic support for free, but that's enough
[21:52] <rifter> jldesign, okay well what I would do then is make sure that is installed.. gimme a sec and I will make sure to find what package it lives in
[21:53] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: urgent as in I am sitting via vpn ssh onto a machine which needs to go to production soon :)
[21:53] <Sam192384> so, nwe install ubuntu 10.10 - says mounted floppy0.  i have no floppy... why this here
[21:53] <trism> Diverdude: possibly here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/417/how-to-split-all-bibtex-referenced-entries-from-a-big-bibtex-database-to-a-copy
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: ok, can you answer my other querys
[21:53] <jldesign> rifter, Ok
[21:53] <feanor2> Wribbe, it's a bug in the app which put it, like hunspell
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> Sam192384: you probably have your motherboard floppy controller enabled
[21:53] <phaidros> rifter: ActionParsnip wait a sec, I am putting all in a pastebin quick
[21:54] <Sam192384> ActionParsnip: did look at bios and disable all unrequired ports..
[21:54] <rifter> jldesign, so it doesn't show up in ifconfig at all as an interface right?  what have you confirmed about it not working
[21:54] <Sam192384> ActionParsnip: can i disable?
[21:55] <Wribbe> feanor2: oh i see, It appears when i try to get gtypist (typing tutor) to include Swedish in its lessons.. Any workaround?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> Sam192384: you could blacklist the floppy module
[21:55] <Sam192384> ActionParsnip: oooo, how do
[21:56] <jldesign> rifter,  if i put ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.223 for exemple, i can see the eth0
[21:56] <feanor2> Wribbe, try gui version or another terminal mode
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> Sam192384: echo "blacklist floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/floppy.conf    reboot to test
[21:56] <jldesign> rifter, but there is no ligth on the nic and the PING commande doesn't work
[21:56] <rifter> jldesign, soyou are saying when you do ifconfig with no arguments or ifconfig -a it does show eth0?
[21:56] <jldesign> yes
[21:57] <jldesign> rifter, yes*
[21:57] <rifter> jldesign, see ifconfig will show you what nic it has associated with it
[21:57] <phaidros> ActionParsnip, rifter: http://paste.org/pastebin/view/26933
[21:57] <rifter> jldesign, you need to make sure you are using the right interface
[21:57] <stefanos> hello, i am going to delete ubuntu 32 bit and put 64, will my grub be crushed?
[21:57] <jldesign> rifter, yes i am sur a bout the interface
[21:57] <rifter> jldesign, if the nic shows up there properly that means the driver part is working and you have another problem, but you need to make sure that eth0 is the nic/port you think it is
[21:58] <phaidros> rifter: ActionParsnip, added the mplayer error on the bottom
[21:58] <jldesign> rifter, i trind bouth eth0 and eth1
[21:58] <jldesign> rifter, look at this http://blog.akkaya.de/jpabel/2010/01/22/NetXtreme-II-BCM5716-on-Ubuntu-8-04
[21:58] <phaidros> rifter: ActionParsnip, alsa force-reload helps only for short or one time .. very strange
[21:58] <mmdadawow> hi there, i've been getting a red triangle in my systray warning me i need to update, but i did numerous times, and it keeps sitting there, unless i open it like a gazillion times, any fix?
[21:58] <jldesign> rif his support that the nic can work on Ubuntu Server 8.04
[21:59] <jldesign> rifter,  his support that the nic can work on Ubuntu Server 8.04
[21:59] <rifter> see ifconfig will show the mac address of the nic like this (except I blotted out my mac address with question marks) HWaddr ??:??:??:??:??:??
[21:59] <rifter> yes you are correct jldesign
[21:59] <Wribbe> feanor2, really like the terminal version though.. (is there even a GUI version?), but the terminal have no problem showing åäö otherwise..
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: what is the full model?
[22:00] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: msi windbbox 220 or alike
[22:00] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: msi windbox 220 or alike
[22:00] <feanor2> Wribbe, the app used a special code to put a letter in a certain place on the screen, but the terminal misinterpreted it
[22:00] <jldesign> rifter,  my plan is to install Ubuntu server 8.04 tomorow
[22:00] <jldesign> rifter, but i am looking for aother advice
[22:00] <feanor2> what an idiotic idea
[22:00] <Wribbe> feanor2, ah I see, how do I change the terminalmode? (new to linux overall, thanks for the help so far!)
[22:00] <phaidros> jldesign: 8.04? hopelessly outdated
[22:00] <mmdadawow> hi there, i've been getting a red triangle in my systray warning me i need to update, but i did numerous times, and it keeps sitting there, unless i open it like a gazillion times, any fix?
[22:01] <rifter> jldesign, and if it is showing up in ifconfig it is being supported .. but you can confirm the mac address elsewhere like on the card or something.. let me look some more right quick and give you more stuff to try.  also make sure you have a known good network cable (that is, one that worked on another machine) just to eliminate that.
[22:01] <antibody> hi ever since maverick came out and I updated I can't connect to internet via my mobile phone. I used to connect via bluetooh establish a dun connection and then I could connect from network manager. Everything goes ok with the bluetooth the connection is made and then NetworkManager doesn't see anything...what can I do?
[22:01] <feanor2> Wribbe, if that is GUI terminal, you may have mode selection in its options
[22:01] <phaidros> mmdadawow: get rid of non working update sources, as those unupdateable block the refhres of the sign
[22:01] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: any idea? I am stuck, rly
[22:01] <mmdadawow> phaidros: lemme c
[22:02] <jldesign> phaidros, i will make apt-get update
[22:02] <jldesign> rifter, ok , and i have a good cable
[22:02] <Wribbe> feanor2, I'll check~
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh     thanks
[22:02] <anonymous57> I can't find a good way to setup dual monitors with the nvidia proprietary drivers installed, and I can't use the open source drivers since they don't have enough functionality yet, and I've already tried using twinview, but it makes a huge rectangle instead of matching the size of my lower resolution monitor
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> anonymous57: nvidia-settings   manages dualheadding
[22:03] <Snakkah> I can't find the icon for Mozilla Thunderbird. When I add it to Cairo-Dock, I get the icon for a stamp or something, and not the Thunderbird logo.
[22:03] <Snakkah> Where is the icon for it located?
[22:03] <mmdadawow> phaidros: how can i make the triangle appear again (if it still can after this)?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> Snakkah: thats your icon theme
[22:04] <phaidros> mmdadawow: it will come when updates are there
[22:05] <anonymous57> ActionParsnip: I have tried going into nvidia-settings, but twinview makes both monitors as 1, but my second monitor has a different height in pixels, so it draws offscreen, which is undesired
[22:05] <mmdadawow> phaidros: normally when there are updates it just opens the update manager
[22:05] <Sam192384> ActionParsnip: Floppy0 - umm.. i did command but nothing returned..
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> anonymous57: the nvidia settings app works with the proprietary drivers
[22:05] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7889f9134d925fa397c1de6f3a9f3f22d55a6a05
[22:06] <Sam192384> ActionParsnip: another hint please..
[22:06] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: btw, worked out of the box in maverick, but maverick had shortcomings so that I had to kick it last minute :/
[22:06] <anonymous57> ActionParsnip: i know the settings gui works, but it's not setting it up properly, i can move my cursor OFF THE SCREEN on my smaller monitor
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: see how the driver is a different version to the library and such, that'll cause issues. run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get update; sudp apt-get -y upgrade
[22:07] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: what will be pulled from that repo?
[22:07] <phaidros> only alsa?
[22:07] <Dracofodder> Can I make an application launcher start a script in a specific directory?  or do I need to modify my script to explicitly change directories where it belongs?
[22:07] <resixian> i have two identical laptops (new from dell) with 9.04, on one 'sudo aptitude install smbfs' works, on the other it says the packaged is not found?
[22:08] <rifter> jldesign, now lspci will show you explicitly what nic device shows up and will show a name and a device number like this: 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12)
[22:08] <resixian> i need the smbfs because (it seems) whatever 9.04 came with can not mount an iso (via samba) read only
[22:08] <uzi__> Hello, please help me if you know how to change gcc's built-in spec?
[22:08] <ikonia> uzi__: you can't, it's a compile time option
[22:09] <ikonia> uzi__: what do you want to change ?~
[22:09] <anonymous57> ActionParsnip: i know the settings gui works, but it's not setting it up properly, i can move my cursor OFF THE SCREEN on my smaller monitor
[22:09] <ikonia> resixian: an iso via samba ?
[22:09] <rifter> jldesign, then if you do grep eth0 /var/log/dmesg you will see the lines where the driver initiates the interface.  This line you are looking for: [    1.304622] sky2 0000:08:00.0: eth0: addr 00:22:15:01:cf:5b
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Dracofodder: I'd modify the script personally
[22:10] <resixian> ikonia: yeah, i mount 10.10 on a samba server
[22:10] <bosch> How do you change the time zone you're in when using the server version?
[22:10] <ikonia> resixian: what command are you using ?
[22:10] <Dracofodder> ActionParsnip: thanks, I was a little hesitant to do that... its the startup for ps3mediaserver.  but, ok. will do that.. thanks!
[22:10] <rifter> jldesign, as you can see the last part, the 08:00.0 in this case is the number in lspci, which confirms that eth0 is that device
[22:10] <iitg-cs-grad> hi
[22:10] <resixian> ikonia: sudo aptitude install smbfs
[22:10] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: what will be pulled from that repo?
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> anonymous57: no idea mate, you could run:  gksudo nvidia-settings   and set the resolutions, save the X settings then run:  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and manually edit the screen
[22:10] <ikonia> resixian: no, I mean to mount the iso
[22:11] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: could be the version diff ,because I installed backported alsa modules from lucid repo?
[22:11] <resixian> ikonia: sudo mount -v -t //<server>/ubuntu /mnt/ugs -o username=foo,ro
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: alsa 1.0.23 for all 3 and wil make them all the same version
[22:11] <anonymous57> ActionParsnip: ok ill try to manually edit xorg.conf, thanks
[22:11] <resixian> ikonia: but this is not the problem, it works for 2/3 laptops
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> anonymous57: thats all I can advise
[22:11] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: I really wonder the version diff ,because all is stock install .. well, nvm, I pull the ppa in now :)
[22:11] <uzi__> ikonia: the same executable gives different values (when run with -print-sear-dirs) when in ubuntu and in chroot'ed environment.
[22:11] <ikonia> resixian: errr thats a remote network device, of course you'll need samba fs
[22:11] <resixian> ikonia: after i install smbfs, but on laptop 3/3 i can't install smbfs
[22:12] <ikonia> uzi__: of course it will
[22:12] <ikonia> resixian: what is the error when you try to install smbfs
[22:12] <iitg-cs-grad> I am trying to compile kernel 2.6.35.4 .... I need help of an expert user
[22:12] <uzi__> ikonia: they it changes, it's not built-in, isn't it?
[22:12] <rifter> jldesign, this way you can actually make sure eth0 is the device you think it is.  I wonder though because the connect light should come on no matter what if al teh hardware is working.  The activity light should shine when there is activity.  sometimes these leds don't work right which is frustrating.  Is this a nic that is integrated into the motherboard or a card?  if it is integrated there may be a bios option to enable it or not.
[22:12] <rifter>   But if it is showing up in lspci, then it is enabled, obviously
[22:12] <uzi__> ikonia: it changes*
[22:12] <ikonia> uzi__: it is built in as you asked for the SPEC, which is built in
[22:13] <spencer__> I'm having trouble getting windows to recognize a device formatted to NTFS with MD-DOS partition table, that was formatted in ubuntu
[22:13] <resixian> ikonia: its not found
[22:13] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: well .. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[22:13] <ikonia> !info smbfs
[22:13] <feanor2> is there GTK text editor with spell checking?
[22:13] <ikonia> resixian: it's in maveric
[22:13] <resixian> ikonia: ok... this is now beyond my ubuntu-expertise..
[22:14] <resixian> i need to add some repo?
[22:14] <Crash1hd> Im having trouble connecting to msn through Empathy?
[22:14] <ikonia> sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
[22:14] <rifter> jldesign, you may be unlucky and the nic just doesn't work because of a hardware problem, but to confirm that you would boot to a dell diagnostic cd or some other os and try it for confirmation.
[22:14] <ikonia> resixian: install the package cifs-utils
[22:14] <lolcat> Crash1hd: Are we supposed to read your mind to answer that? are you?
[22:15] <resixian> ikonia: also not found
[22:15] <rifter> Crash1hd, ae you getting certificate errors?  Those keep happening on msn
[22:15] <ikonia> !info cifs-utils
[22:15] <Crash1hd> lolcat: well no but I dont have much more to give I guess I could add that I just installed ubuntu added my username@hotmail.com and password and it just sits there
[22:15] <RangerLappy> anyone know why on an old athlon xp pc with 256mb sd ram etc. that ubuntu 10.10 32bit wont load and locks up on kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10 and another pc on an athlon k6 700 mhz locks up even before that?
[22:15] <Crash1hd> but doesnt connect
[22:15] <rifter> Crash1hd, microsoft keeps messing up their certificates
[22:15] <jldesign> rifter, i tried Debian, ubuntu, CentOs, RedHat
[22:15] <lolcat> Crash1hd: Tried to ask it to connect?
[22:15] <jldesign> rifter, the same probleme
[22:15] <rifter> jldesign, in that case it is likely that you have a bad nic
[22:15] <lolcat> Crash1hd: Also, I would recommend emesene
[22:15] <ikonia> resixian: the package is there, what is the exact error you're getting
[22:16] <uzi__> ikonia: the install path is written as ../lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2 in -print-search-dirs, and gcc never finds cc1.
[22:16] <rifter> jldesign, apparently support for that nic has been in the kernel for some time.  and if it shows up in eth0 it is not an issue of lacking drivers
[22:16] <Crash1hd> lolcat: yes I have tried to have it connect I guess I was wondering if there was a log or something that would have more info
[22:16] <ikonia> uzi__: not sure I'm following what you're actually complaining about
[22:16] <milamber> Crash1hd: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6136/empathy-cannot-connect-to-msn-account
[22:16] <rifter> jldesign, in which case, you end up having to involve Dell :P
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: sudo apt-get install alsa-driver alsa-lib alsa-utils
[22:16] <spencer__> is there any way to make an external HDD compatible with windows, using linux? NTFS with MS-DOS partition table doesn't work...
[22:16] <Crash1hd> milamber: will have a look thanks :)
[22:16] <ikonia> spencer__: it does
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: its an alsa build from  5 days ago :)
[22:17] <anonymous57> i accidentally did sudo apt-get remove apt-get so how can i sudo apt-get install apt-get when apt-get doesn't exist anymore?
[22:17] <jldesign> rifter, do you think that i should send back the server to dell support
[22:17] <ikonia> spencer__: it's easier to put NTFS on from within windows though
[22:17] <jldesign> rifter, i mean garantie
[22:17] <rifter> jldesign, no just call them and they should help you
[22:17] <ikonia> anonymous57: use aptitude or synaptic
[22:17] <rifter> jldesign, however do the steps I ghave first to make sure it is being recognized
[22:17] <rifter> jldesign, and that it really is eth0
[22:17] <uzi__> ikonia: the problem is that gcc never finds cc1, and its because the built-in spec is always pointing to the wrong place.
[22:17] <spencer__> ikonia well then I did something wrong, because windows won't even recognize it. I dbanned it, so there really isn't any way for me to format it from windows, short of using an xbox 360
[22:17] <stefanos> i have 32 bit ubuntu and need to install 64, how can i do it?
[22:18] <bluezone> anonymous57: lol, never heard that one before
[22:18] <ikonia> uzi__: cc1 ?
[22:18] <soreau> How can I download an html5 video from youtube?
[22:18] <anonymous57> ikonia: but aptitude and synaptic both rely off of apt-get so they wont work either
[22:18] <soreau> This is annoying :P
[22:18] <uzi__> ikonia: yes, cc1.
[22:18] <ikonia> anonymous57: download the deb and use dpkg
[22:18] <ikonia> uzi__: what do you mean cc1 ?
[22:18] <jldesign> Oky i will try ubuntu 8.04 server and i will seey
[22:18] <resixian> ikonia: http://pastie.org/1429598
[22:18] <uzi__> ikonia: and crtBegin.o too.
[22:18] <rifter> jldesign, if it is not you can search for eth in that dmesg log and you will find the other interfaces too; you can also explicitly search for eth1 etc
[22:18] <phaidros> E: Couldn't find package alsa-driver
[22:18] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: E: Couldn't find package alsa-driver
[22:18] <alkisg> Is btrfs with compression usable on Lucid? I'm not intending to put significant data into that btrfs partition that I want to create, but does it mostly work, or is it horribly broken?
[22:19] <anonymous57> but dpkg was an unneeded dependency of apt-get, so it removed that also
[22:19] <resixian> ikonia: but like i said, smbfs is the package i need.
[22:19] <jldesign> rifter, ok
[22:19] <ikonia> uzi__: .o files, objects ? what is it you're actually trying to do, (end goal)
[22:19] <resixian> ikonia: nevertheless same message for smbfs
[22:19] <jldesign> will you here tomorrow
[22:19] <soreau> With flash-nonfree, there used to be a /tmp/Flashxxxxx file saved but now with html5 youtube videos, this seems to be not the case. Where does it store it's tmp vids to?
[22:19] <uzi__> ikonia: cc1, the gcc backend executable.
[22:19] <jldesign> rifter, will you here tomorrow
[22:19] <rifter> jldesign, tell them all these steps, that should satisfy them.  If it doesn't they will tell you what will :D
[22:19] <jldesign> rifter,  i mean connected
[22:19] <resixian> like its not found, even though i have installed it on 2/3 same laptops (new from dell)
[22:19] <ikonia> uzi__: cc1 is not the backend executable, gcc is the executable
[22:19] <anonymous57> ikonia: but dpkg was an unneeded dependency of apt-get, so it removed that also
[22:19] <rifter> jldesign, yep I will be here.. call me by name and I will be sure to pay attention to the channel I am not always watching
[22:20] <stefanos> i have 32 bit ubuntu and need to install 64, how can i do it?
[22:20] <jldesign> rifter, :)
[22:20] <ikonia> anonymous57: shouldn't have done
[22:20] <ikonia> stefanos: clean install
[22:20] <spencer__> anonymous boot from liveCD
[22:20] <jldesign> rifter, ok
[22:20] <ikonia> resixian: smbfs is in cifs-utils
[22:20] <spencer__> anonymous57 boot from live cd, sorry bout that
[22:20] <jldesign> rifter, thanks
[22:20] <stefanos> ikonia, did understand you...
[22:20] <rifter> jldesign, now Dell will want you to have access to the box so you can do steps if they don't like ours
[22:20] <resixian> ikonia: on my other 2 'sudo aptitude install smbfs' just worked
[22:20] <uzi__> !cc1
[22:20] <ikonia> stefanos: you need to download ubuntu 64bit version and install the operating system in place of 32bit
[22:21] <ikonia> resixian: are they both running the same version of ubuntu
[22:21] <resixian> ikonia: yes
[22:21] <rifter> jldesign, but their server guys should be able to do linux now and I think they do ubuntu there now.  They use dto do redhat and may still use it as well, I dunno
[22:21] <resixian> ikonia: well, they were. they are both now updating (from the samba mounted 10.10 cd)
[22:21] <soreau> How can I download youtube videos? youtube-dl and the traditional programs are not working but no file is stored in /tmp/Flashxxxx. How can I download youtube html5 videos?
[22:21] <ikonia> uzi__: why don't you tell me what you're actually trying to do
[22:21] <anonymous57> spencer: i dont have a livecd anymore and i dont have any iso burning programs so how can i boot from the livecd?
[22:21] <stefanos> ikonia, yes downloaded but need to delete 32? format the partition? will grub be destroied?
[22:21] <ikonia> stefanos: correct
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> soreau: there are plugins for browser to download the video
[22:22] <jldesign> rifter,  they porposse RedHat and Suse as OS during the installation
[22:22] <resixian> ikonia: all 3 of these were ordered from dell with ubuntu installed (uname -a, lsb-release matched for all)
[22:22] <ikonia> resixian: please do "sudo apt-get update", what happens
[22:22] <uzi__> ikonia: i just did, i want to adjust gcc's built-in spec (somehow) so that it finds cc1.
[22:22] <stefanos> ikonia, will grub be destroied?
[22:22] <ikonia> uzi__: you can't do that, so why don't you tell me what you're actually trying to do with gcc
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: this is the repo: https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable
[22:22] <ikonia> stefanos: yes
[22:22] <spencer__> anonymous57 it's called a library, your town probably has one, and they might just let you use their computer to burn one
[22:22] <ikonia> stefanos: the 64bit version will re-install it
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: looks like s/he has dropped lucid :(
[22:23] <anonymous57> spencer: ugh i cant apt-get install any burning programs so how can i get a livecd? and im not allowed to leave my house now since im supposed to be doing homework
[22:23] <Crash1hd> ok how do I restart a program like empathy without rebooting?
[22:23] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: yeah, saw it too
[22:23] <Crash1hd> in shell
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: could use this: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/04/17/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10/
[22:23] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: what now?
[22:23] <resixian> ikonia: w00t
[22:23] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: ok
[22:23] <resixian> finds it now..
[22:23] <spencer__> anonymous57 well than wait until tomorrow, and use your school's computer. Or use your mom's or dad's
[22:23] <ikonia> resixian: out of date cache file
[22:24] <iitg-cs-grad> hi ... I am have compiled kernel 2.6.35.4 .... and am trying to boot from it ....  it says device / not found or not ready after booting into it ... when i skip it says /tmp not found or not ready after booting into it .... I am using a wubi over win ... I saw on the forums mentioning something about giving UUID to the boot parameters ... I dont seem to proceed after that...
[22:24] <spencer__> anonymous57 that's really all you can do
[22:24] <uzi__> ikonia: thanks for trying to help. i think i'll just dig into gcc source and find out.
[22:24] <resixian> ikonia: well ty
[22:24] <ikonia> iitg-cs-grad: custom kernels are not supported
[22:24] <rifter> jldesign, well since you're doing a new install it's not as bad to have to use that if necessary to satisfy them, but I think these steps should do enough.  Their diagnostic cds don't require the OS.  If you don't have them, I think you might be able to download or get them.  You might try them as well and see if the nic test does an actual connection test. tell them the connect light is not on that is an important indicator.  Basicla
[22:24] <rifter> ly do the stuff I told you and tell them what you did and  you shoudl be good
[22:24] <ikonia> uzi__: it's a compile time option.
[22:24] <NateW> i have php on my server.. if i have a test php page in /var/www it works, if its in another folder, the browser tries to download the file.. why?
[22:24] <ikonia> uzi__: you don't need to go into the source
[22:24] <stefanos> ikonia, thank you
[22:24] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: are you sure, compiling is the only way out of this mess? actually it is a stock lucid install from this afternoon o.O
[22:24] <resixian> ikonia: shouldn't 'reload' on synaptic have fixed that?
[22:24] <ikonia> uzi__: however you would need to recompile gcc to change the spec path
[22:24] <ikonia> resixian: depends
[22:24] <ikonia> resixian: most of the time, yes
[22:24] <anonymous57> spencer: well we only have one computer in our house, and i wont have time at school, and the library doesnt have computers
[22:25] <ikonia> anonymous57: then we can't help
[22:25] <ikonia> anonymous57: you'll have to wait until you can get access to a recovery cd
[22:25] <uzi__> ikonia: then whats the option to change it?
[22:25] <spencer__> anonymous57 wait until the weekend? or have one of your friends burn you one
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: the versions need to match as far as I am aware, it's not hard and is [pretty much spelled out for you in that guide
[22:25] <ikonia> uzi__: do you mean the compile time option ?
[22:25] <uzi__> ikonia: yes.
[22:25] <jldesign> rifter, yes this is the bad signal the connect light is not on
[22:25] <anonymous57> spencer: i dont have any friends :'(
[22:25] <ikonia> uzi__: let me see if I have a note
[22:25] <ikonia> anonymous57: then we can't help
[22:26] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: machine is slow, and install on sd card, installing takes ages and compining .. argh .. even dunno if there is enlough space for build-essentials ..
[22:26] <spencer__> anonymous57 then you're pretty much out of luck, maybe you should go outside and take a walk or soemthing
[22:26] <anonymous57> ikonia: so since i dont have any friends, you cant help me?!
[22:26] <battlehands> hello, does anyone know how I can put the "System" and "Places" tabs on my menu bar?
[22:26] <anonymous57> spencer: im not allowed to go outside
[22:26] <spencer__> anonymous57 Do you live under a bridge?
[22:27] <ikonia> anonymous57: if you can't get access to a recovery CD, we can't help
[22:27] <resixian> he could make a bootable usb image
[22:27] <anonymous57> spencer: no, but im not going to tell you where i live just so you can tell me how to fix my computer that i cant install any programs on
[22:27] <battlehands> recovery cd?  like an install cd?
[22:27] <spencer__> cause my troll radar is going off
[22:27] <ikonia> anonymous57: spencer__ please drop it now, we can't help any more
[22:27] <ilovefairuz> !info gnome-main-menu | battlehands
[22:27] <spencer__> ikonia aye aye captain
[22:28] <anonymous57> resixian: i dont have a usb drive
[22:28] <ikonia> anonymous57: we can't help any more
[22:28] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, what does that mean?
[22:28] <anonymous57> ikonia & spencer: thank you for your help
[22:28] <rww> Fun fact: apt-get doesn't autoremove dependent packages if they're marked as essential.
[22:28] <ikonia> uzi__: the spec file is modified within the source, I normally do it by a patch (just dug out the patch)
[22:28] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: it's a package for an alternative/condensed menu
[22:29] <anonymous57> rww: but i marked those dependent packages as not essential
[22:29] <rww> anonymous57: The "Essential" flag of a package is not a user-changeable thing. Goodbye now.
[22:29] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, is that package what I have installed?
[22:29] <uzi__> ikonia: would be so kind to share it, or at least tell me which files?
[22:30] <ikonia> uzi__: /gcc/config/alpha/gnu.h
[22:30] <anonymous57> rww: but i recompiled part of the OS so that it is user changeable
[22:30] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: nope, not installed by default, you have to install it and add it to the panel
[22:30] <spencer__> rww thank you
[22:30] <ikonia> uzi__: change alpha for your arch
[22:30] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, or is it a link or terminal command to lead me to a download for that menu?
[22:31] <uzi__> ikonia: already figured =)
[22:31] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: the command is: sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu
[22:31] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, so was there a link in your response or a terminal command to download?
[22:31] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, ok, thanks
[22:32] <Wribbe> feanor2, poked around in the helpfile (for the 100'th) time, and there it was.. export LANG=sv in the terminal solved it all, thanks a bunch!
[22:32] <spencer__> rww he's back
[22:32] <rww> spencer__: I know
[22:33] <ikonia> he won't be if he messses around again
[22:33] <rww> ^
[22:33] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, I used the terminal command to download and install the menu... do I need to restart?  Or do I need to activate it somewhere?
[22:34] <anonymous57b> my previous account got disconnected somehow? maybe there is something wrong with pidgin or your servers? could you please try to help me on this issue so i dont keep disconnecting?
[22:34] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: right-click on the panel in any empty area, select "add..", then find the menu applet and add it
[22:34] <rww> anonymous57b: Trolling is a violation of this channel's guidelines. I suggest you stop it.
[22:35] <ikonia> anonymous57b: you got kicked from the channel, please stop asking for help with something we cannot progress, this is your only warning
[22:35] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: anyhting to say about ppa:team-iquik/alsa? or is it a good idea?
[22:36] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, thanks for the help.  That was really simple.
[22:36] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: you're welcome :)
[22:36] <anonymous57b> sorry for "trolling" was just trying to get help - HAPPY GNU YEAR EVERYONE!!!!
[22:38] <ArkBlitz> Uh... excuse me... I have a problem with Ubuntu after resuming from hibernating. The PC gets stuck.
[22:39] <myrti_> ok, stupid question, but I have to ask before I give up: Assuming you were working on a document within a live-cd environment on a flahs drive  and you had spent a lot of time on it, regularly saving it to my documents. Then, you do something stupid like pull the plug accidentally, and when you boot the live-cd flash drive back up and everything is returned to default and no files are in my documents. Is there any chance to reco
[22:39] <myrti_> ver the lost doucment?
[22:39] <ArkBlitz> myrti_: Nope...
[22:39] <ArkBlitz> See, the document was saved on RAM.
[22:40] <Gnea> ArkBlitz: perhaps you could be more informative? "gets stuck" is rather vague.
[22:40] <mmdadawow> lol
[22:40] <shcherbak> myrti_: swap on hd?
[22:40] <ArkBlitz> Gnea: "Get stuck" means "the computer shows the desktop but does not react at all"
[22:40] <Gnea> myrti_: well you could try foremost
[22:40] <myrti_> shcherbak, yes, but I'm not sure it ever managed to load the drive.. the drive is broken and only partially functional. Which is why I'm running on live-cd until the new drive arrives
[22:41] <Gnea> myrti_: so depending on the filesystem in use, yes, it's possible to recover
[22:41] <myrti_> Gnea,  foremost is a recovery system? would I use athat on the internal drive or on the flash drive?
[22:41] <root_op> Is there an official channel for the Upstart project?
[22:41] <Gnea> myrti_: whichever drive you attempted to save the document to, of course
[22:42] <Gnea> myrti_: if not foremost, photorec
[22:42] <myrti_> gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/ubuntu/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=ubuntu)
[22:42] <ArkBlitz> TestDisk also does it. PhotoRec is part of it.
[22:42] <myrti_> that's RAM, no?
[22:42] <myrti_> ArkBlitz, ah, testdisk.. I know my way around with that one
[22:42] <ArkBlitz> FUSE? Most probably yes...
[22:42] <myrti_> thanks, I'll try
[22:42] <Jordan_U> myrti_: Gnea: Since the file was (most likely) never written to disk, but only to RAM, there is nothing that foremost or photorec can do to bring it back from the ether.
[22:42] <myrti_> Jordan_U, they should invent something that does :p
[22:42] <Gnea> ArkBlitz: then you should try booting the system so that you can see what's being logged at the time
[22:43] <ArkBlitz> I can boot it, but I can't read the logs because the computer freezes!
[22:43] <spencer__> anyone need any general troubleshooting? it seems pretty quiet now but still
[22:43] <myrti_> Jordan_U, but if it's RAM there's little point in trying.. I just wasn't sure whether stuff was stored in RAM only for the profile or also on the flash drive/ hard drive
[22:43] <ArkBlitz> Is there a way to keep them in a file or something?
[22:43] <Gnea> Jordan_U: good point, but if it was written and the flash drive happened to incur some bad inodes, then there's still a possibility
[22:43] <ArkBlitz> spencer__: I'm working with a hibernation issue.
[22:43] <ikonia> spencer__: if people need help, they will ask for it
[22:44] <GeekSquid> root_op: #upstart , but as it is a Canonical project it can be supported here
[22:44] <ikonia> GeekSquid: no it can't
[22:44] <Gnea> spencer__: you think this is quiet?
[22:44] <spencer__> ArkBlitz mind if I PM you?
[22:44] <Metaljack> i
[22:44] <ikonia> GeekSquid: this channel supports ubuntu,
[22:44] <ArkBlitz> No prob!
[22:44] <Metaljack> hi
[22:44] <Metaljack> hi
[22:44] <Gnea> ArkBlitz: you can't boot a livecd on it, mount the filesystem and read the logs that way?
[22:44] <spencer__> Gnea I've been in here where there were about 100 active chatters. like, talking a lot. Yeah, this is quiet
[22:44] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: I have updated alsa now all same version, problem persists: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh
[22:44] <erkan^> Is abiword or openOffice Writer the best?
[22:44] <ArkBlitz> ??
[22:45] <ArkBlitz> erkan^: OpenOffice on my opinion.
[22:45] <phaidros> erkan^: depends, for most I like abiword
[22:45] <ArkBlitz> AbiWord is still too buggy!
[22:45] <erkan^> (-:
[22:45] <ArkBlitz> phaidros: AbiWord is light.
[22:45] <phaidros> ArkBlitz: dont think so :)
[22:45] <erkan^> yes right indd lol
[22:45] <Gnea> spencer__: is that a fact? huh, I guess the guidelines don't cover that then, do they?
[22:45] <ArkBlitz> phaidros: Then my computer is crappy...
[22:45] <GeekSquid> ikonia: upstart is a major part of ubuntu now ... hence this http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[22:46] <erkan^> I often use openOffice Writer (-:
[22:46] <phaidros> ArkBlitz: dont think its buggy, agree it is light ;)
[22:46] <Gnea> !best | erkan^
[22:46] <erkan^> haha
[22:46] <ikonia> GeekSquid: yes, so we can support upstart within ubuntu, but not upstart the product
[22:46] <rww> GeekSquid: It's also available on other distributions. Help with upstart on Ubuntu is fine here. Help with upstart in general isn't.
[22:46] <spencer__> Gnea I wasn't declaring that it was quiet by anyone else's means but my own
[22:46] <erkan^> ok (-: Gnea
[22:46] <phaidros> anyone can help out with a urgent sound issue on lucid?
[22:46] <erkan^> that is right too, Gnea
[22:46] <erkan^> :p
[22:47] <root_op> GeekSquid, Well basicly I'm trying to choose a new init process since sysinit-v is pretty much obsolate, or rather it's way of initializing.
[22:47] <phaidros> user is in right group, device is owned by group, but user is not allowed to use alsa deivce .. any ideas?
[22:47] <myrti_> since I've already screwed myself over royally I'd like to avoid that from happening again. I've been remounting the read-only partition of my flash drive with " mount -o remount,rw /cdrom/" so as to store stuff on it. However I need to use sudo and then only sudo can save stuff on it. How do I make it accessible to everyone (safely)
[22:47] <Gnea> spencer__: at any rate, if you've been around this long, then you should know by now that you don't need to ask such a question in here, just jump in and answer if you happen to know
[22:47] <GeekSquid> root_op: is this on an ubuntu system?
[22:47] <root_op> I'm trying to choose between systemd, launchd and Upstart.
[22:47] <root_op> No, it's not an Ubuntu system.
[22:47] <GeekSquid> root_op: please take your questions to #upstart
[22:47] <root_op> Haven't really named it yet, it's just a little test system of mine.
[22:47] <root_op> Ah right. Thanks then.
[22:49] <bitplane> Hi, I've got a few new file types for /usr/share/misc/magic
[22:49] <spizti> Ok, this ain't good. I used to have WinXP and WinVista on my grub boot menu. I ran update-grub, and it left in the boot menu only Linux. How can I make the Windows appear again ?
[22:49] <bitplane> Where do I submit them for inclusion?
[22:50] <bcj> Is there a way of changing the bluetooth device ID as trivially as one can change their MAC address?
[22:50] <GeekSquid> !launchpad | bitplane ... probably want to work it into a blueprint
[22:50] <bitplane> bcj, AFAIK that's at the radio level. may not be possible, read up on the bluetooth protocol stack
[22:51] <bcj> bitplane: I was hoping it would be easy, but I'm beginning to think it'll be a case of hacking firmware
[22:51] <neverender_> im having a problem, my roommate tried to boot into my windows 7 partition (i dualboot ubuntu and 7) and when he couldnt figure out my password he turned off the machine and now it fails to boot
[22:51] <bitplane> GeekSquad, I thought blueprints were for larger things. Should I expand it to include a shipload of other formats first?
[22:51] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: are you there?
[22:52] <neverender_> it was going into grub-rescue> prompt
[22:52] <GeekSquid> bitplane: if you are planning on bringing in the Enterprise, great, but dingy's are great too
[22:52] <Jordan_U> neverender_: Can you boot from a liveCD?
[22:52] <spizti> Ah, I think I found this, needed to chmod +x scripts in /etc/grub.d. But why didn't they have execute permission already ?
[22:53] <neverender_> but i followed some steps to boot into ubuntu i found and itried to fix grub from inside ubuntu, but when i reset the comp, now it gives me a new grub console "[minimal BASH-like line editing is supported...blah blah blah         grub>
[22:53] <RobotCow> free drugs and love in ##sushi
[22:53] <spizti> Ah, anyone sees what I write ?
[22:53] <LoRez> RobotCow: don't spam.
[22:53] <GeekSquid> spizti: yes
[22:54] <spizti> Ok, glad to know I'm identified. Gonna reboot now.
[22:55] <neverender_> can anybody read this?
[22:55] <shcherbak> no
[22:55] <GeekSquid> neverender_: yes
[22:55] <neverender_> ok good
[22:56] <neverender_> not sure if anybody read my above problem, but any help would be appreciated
[22:56] <neverender_> need me to rewrite on one line?
[22:56] <Jordan_U> neverender_: Can you boot from a liveCD?
[22:56] <shcherbak> neverender_: can you boot from live cd?
[22:57] <neverender_> im trying to acquire one now
[22:57] <neverender_> i want to at least be able to boot into windows 7 as my important documents are on there
[22:58] <eichi> hello. strange behaviour on a mittle old laptop. ubuntu 9.04 live cd boots without problems. but xubuntu 10.10 alternative does not start installation. someone has any ideas?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> neverender_: boot to win7 cd and reinstate the bootloader. You should have a BACKUP of your docs and you will have no issue
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> eichi: Jaunty is no longer supported
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> eichi: tried the Lucid desktop CD?
[22:59] <trox702> Hi everybody, didn't want to flood the room. Can anyone help with this ssh problem? : http://pastebin.com/u4uk3ShX
[23:00] <trench> trox702: there is alot of php scripts out there
[23:00] <bitplane> trox702: forwarding audio is much harder than just serving up a shared folder or something
[23:00] <guampa> trox702: you can't forward sound over ssh in principle
[23:00] <bitplane> just set up SFTP and have your mac connect to it
[23:00] <eichi> ActionParsnip: can you name numbers? dont know all the names
[23:00] <ArkBlitz> spencer__: Sorry, I'm back!
[23:01] <Jordan_U> neverender_: If you want a quick way to get into windows (and Ubuntu) you can use Super GRUB2 Disk, it's only a 1.4 meg download.
[23:01] <phaidros> eichi: 10.04
[23:01] <guampa> what you can do is try to use an ssh based fs, though dunno if such thing exists in macs
[23:01] <eichi> no, dont have any cd here at the moment
[23:01] <trench> trox702: you can try sshfs too, but i havn't testet it and i have no idea about the mac part
[23:01] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: any idea besides alsa versions for the blocked alsa device?
[23:01] <tensorpudding> trox702: mt-daapd might be a better idea
[23:01] <neverender_> Jordan_U: ty ill look into it now
[23:01] <ArkBlitz> Just in case, I finally figured out how to make the hibernation work.
[23:01] <ArkBlitz> But, I have another problem.
[23:02] <trench> neverender_: use a usbkey?
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> phaidros: you may need some option on the snd-hda-imtel module which can be defined in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[23:02] <Egyptian1019> Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I just installed Ubuntu for the first time today and it will go through the installation and everything but after reboot I get a blinking cursor forever. If i boot with the CD in and cancel the installation im able to get on.
[23:02] <tensorpudding> trox702: that way, you can play it directly from iTunes without having to do ssh
[23:03] <guampa> tensorpudding: that's some streaming server?
[23:03] <phaidros> ActionParsnip: okay, I will try tomorrow, now someone just switched of the remote part of the vpn :/ thanx for helping
[23:03] <tensorpudding> if you're worried about security, you can configure daapd to bind on localhost, and forward the packets using ssh
[23:03] <ArkBlitz> Egyptian1019: Could you please be more specific with "when I cancel the installation"?
[23:03] <trench> tensorpudding: Support for Mac OSX (coming soon!) it said on the webpage
[23:03] <zanadu> hello
[23:03] <tensorpudding> guampa: yeah
[23:03] <zanadu> hi
[23:04] <eichi> ActionParsnip: have to wait until tomorrow, then someone gives me ubuntu 10.10
[23:04] <guampa> now i see what he was up to with "stream sound over ssh"
[23:04] <tensorpudding> trench: i thought OSX was the client
[23:04] <the_eye_> sound problem with 8086:27d8, any help
[23:04] <eichi> but i think, the 265 mb ram is a little tiny for that
[23:04] <eichi> strange enaught, that ubuntu 9.04 live cd works
[23:04] <zanadu> anyone in 8th grade math doing equations
[23:04] <tensorpudding> daapd would run on the linux box, and iTunes supports it
[23:05] <tensorpudding> i've set it up before
[23:05] <guampa> zanadu: wrong channel
[23:05] <guampa> you want #math
[23:05] <SQUEEEE> I'm trying to add an Alt Gr key to the Mac keyboard I'm using as it's missing one. With xmodmap I can run "keycode 134 = ISO_Level3_Shift", however this will only last until the end of the X session or another keyboard layout is selected in the Gnome keyboard configuration dialogue. How do I make this permanent?
[23:05] <eichi> okay, but 5mb free memory after boot ;D
[23:05] <phaidros> tensorpudding: trench: mt-daapd
[23:05] <zanadu> huh\
[23:05] <trench> tensorpudding: then it should work :)
[23:06] <epl> SQUEEEE: put the xmodmap line in a file called .xmodmap in your $HOME/ directory
[23:06] <tensorpudding> in any case, I would think that it would run on OSX too, since it says "support for unix/POSIX" platforms, and OSX would fit that description
[23:06] <epl> SQUEEEE: should be read by gnome upon login...
[23:07] <trench> Egyptian1019: what kind of hardware?
[23:07] <edijel> oi
[23:07] <epl> SQUEEEE: the file should probably be called .xmodmaprc
[23:08] <trench> edijel: what's up? :)
[23:08] <SQUEEEE> All right, I'll try that, thanks epl
[23:08] <bluezone> testing
[23:08] <trench> 1 2 3
[23:08] <bluezone> thanks

[23:10] <neverender_> can i just plop the .iso on the usb or do i need to do something with it?
[23:11] <habanany> I installed ubuntuone in windows, it works fine
[23:11] <neverender_> trench: can i just plop the .iso on a thumbdrive?
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> neverender_: use unetbootin or the 1-2-3 installer from pendrivelinux
[23:12] <trench> neverender_: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ use this
[23:12] <ArkBlitz> Problem: Plymouth doesn't work anymore for me. It's a black screen until login. And it used to work.
[23:12] <Egyptian1019> I currently have two hard drives one with Windows XP and was trying to install Ubuntu on a seperate HD but after installation when it begins to boot I get a blinking cursor for an infinite amount of time. Would anyone be able to help with this problem?
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> Egyptian1019: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html - Cached
[23:13] <bluezone> Egyptian1019, many people are having problems with that
[23:14] <Egyptian1019> Thanks ill check out that link.
[23:14] <Kenzor> ArkBlitz: did you recently install nvidia drivers?
[23:14] <ArkBlitz> No, but I recently changed /etc/default/grub
[23:15] <ArkBlitz> The following two lines:
[23:15] <ArkBlitz> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash profile pciehp.pciehp_force=1"
[23:15] <ArkBlitz> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="splash nomodeset"
[23:15] <Kenzor> i keep this one bookmarked for similar problems: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml
[23:15] <ArkBlitz> The "splash" should work but doesn't.
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> ArkBlitz: i use:
[23:16] <Kenzor> can't say i know much about grub2
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> ArkBlitz:
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> ArkBlitz: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> ArkBlitz: tells the boot to use the fb driver which loads fast
[23:16] <ArkBlitz> Will check. And, how did you guess my gpu is a radeon?
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> ArkBlitz: it happens with the proprietary drivers
[23:17] <ArkBlitz> Which I don't use!
[23:17] <ArkBlitz> Because I can't install them!
[23:17] <ArkBlitz> The Radeon 9600 is deprecated.
[23:17] <ArkBlitz> And therefore has no support for Linux.
[23:17] <Guest75870> is there anying games i can put on ubuntu 8.1
[23:17] <GeekSquid> I have a strange keyboard issue with a compaq laptop Presario F700... All keys work except left and right arrows, Home, End, P_up, P_dn, tried evtest to see if anything on those keys come up on any event# and I get nothin, anybody seen this before?
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> ArkBlitz: freaky, i use it even on my crappy lappy which uses intel. It's in my post install script to auto setup :)
[23:18] <Guest75870> got lots of games but there for windows
[23:18] <trench> Guest75870: it all depens on your hw
[23:18] <tensorpudding> Guest75870: look for games that support Ubuntu
[23:18] <tensorpudding> there are some
[23:18] <bindi> or try wine
[23:18] <ArkBlitz> Strangely enough, the FGLRX refuses to install properly on my system.
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> Guest75870: penumbra is good (demo is free but is paid for software), Urban Terror rocks if you like counterstrike and the like
[23:19] <tensorpudding> ArkBlitz: with radeon 9x, i'm fairly sure the open-source driver supports hardware acceleration
[23:19] <trench> Guest75870: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games
[23:19] <GeekSquid> Guest75870: that version of ubuntu is waaaay beyond support, reccommend getting yourself a newer version
[23:19] <frigidosis> anybody here have any experience with wpa_cli?
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> ArkBlitz: I avoid ati, nvidia support is second to none so they get my money
[23:19] <ArkBlitz> tensorpudding: That's what I'm using right now.
[23:20] <tensorpudding> so you don't need the fglrx driver
[23:20] <trench> he could use cedega too
[23:21] <trench> but he ran away :)
[23:24] <tappi> how can i make it so that kernel updates do not appear in the updates?
[23:24] <tappi> i don't want to install anything that necessitates a boot
[23:25] <GeekSquid> tappi: problem is you could end up installing something that requires the newer kernel, then things break without the newer kernel
[23:25] <necroforest> cant you install them and just not reboot
[23:25] <ArkBlitz> tappi: Technically you don't need to reboot...
[23:26] <ArkBlitz> ...until you need something needed by the new kernel, that is.
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> tappi: you can install the new kernel, you will simply be informed you need to rebooot but you can tell it you don't want to
[23:26] <ArkBlitz> Unlike Windoze! Yay!
[23:27] <Kenzor> hooray for treating users like adults
[23:27] <Kenzor> actually i heard about some new technology about a year ago that would let linux swap kernel versions at runtime
[23:27] <trench> tappi - you could try out ksplice too
[23:28] <ArkBlitz> Windoze: YES I DO KNOW I HAVE TO REBOOT BUT CAN'T YOU PLEASE LET ME FINISHING THIS PLEASE?!!!!
[23:28] <Gnea> !caps | ArkBlitz
[23:28] <ArkBlitz> Ubuntu: Oh fine. Whenever you can!
[23:28] <Kenzor> yeah ksplice that was it trench
[23:28] <ArkBlitz> Gnea: Was for drama. Sorry.
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> ArkBlitz: you can change the local policy in windows to not re-ask to reboot until 24 hours later ;)
[23:28] <happosai_> connect irc.freenode.net
[23:28] <Gnea> ArkBlitz: this is a drama-free zone, kthx.
[23:28] <trench> Kenzor: yeah.. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/tag/ksplice-ubuntu
[23:28] <ArkBlitz> ActionParsnip: Forrealz?
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> ArkBlitz: gpedit
[23:29] <trench> happosai_: you are already here :)

[23:33] <Egyptian1019> hey guys I am still having problems with the black screen and blnking curser even with the fixes. Could this be a problem with 10.10 would you recommend going back to 10.04? this is my first installation of ubuntu
[23:34] <trench> Egyptian1019: how did you setup your grub?
[23:34] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: is this a dual boot system?
[23:34] <trench> KM0201: yeah
[23:34] <trench> KM0201: xp and ubuntu
[23:35] <Egyptian1019> sorry im completely new to this but i followed the cd setup and that was about it. And ya its two hardrives one for xp and one for ubuntu
[23:35] <KM0201> hmm.. is he getting the "blinking cursor" after he selects one of the OS's?  or both?
[23:35] <Egyptian1019> just when ubuntu is selected
[23:35] <Egyptian1019> I am able to boot into xp
[23:35] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: are you sure you're giving ubuntu enough time to boot?
[23:35] <tappi> ActionParsnip what happens when new software comes that needs the new kernel?
[23:36] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: i cuz i know there's been some "usplash" bugs(ie, the graphic you see while the OS is loading).. and it may look like its not doing anything, and you just see a black screen
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> tappi: you may get issues but your system should have a mainenance window where it is ok to reboot
[23:36] <Kenzor> do you get any errors or warnings Egyptian1019? like clocksource tsc unstable
[23:36] <tappi> why can't i have the cake and eat it too
[23:36] <elyos> Egyptian1019:  whenever I setup a dualboot system with a dedicated hdd for each os, i let each drive contain it's own clean boot sector, not being aware of the other OS,  there's much discussion about why to do this, but I won't get into it.  the way you select between boot drives then is by your motherboard
[23:36] <tappi> i want the updates but i can't reboot :P
[23:37] <Egyptian1019> no its just a cursor blinking on a black screen
[23:37] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: hit escape when you see that cursor, and see if it displays text of what is going on
[23:37] <Egyptian1019> ok let me try that now
[23:37] <trench> ActionParsnip: uptime 567 days on a box with ksplice :)
[23:37] <Ubunter> i need help
[23:37] <tappi> how can i remove that annoying message that states i need to reboot from the ssh motd
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> Egyptian1019: hold shift at boot and press E on the kernel, you can then add the nomodeset boot option
[23:38] <KM0201> Ubunter: just ask your question and if someone can answer, they will
[23:38] <Kenzor> i hate it when people try linux for the first time and stumble on some serious bug :(
[23:38] <trench> Ubunter - then ask your question and someone will most likely help you
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> trench: nice, not aware of ksplice though
[23:38] <Marker_> Hi what version of the GPL is Ubuntu Under?
[23:39] <Ubunter> iv eran Ubuntu 9.Somthing AND 10.04 and now i try installing the new one and it loads up and stuff but once I hit the
[23:39] <Ubunter> Opps
[23:39] <milamber> Marker_: http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/licensing
[23:39] <trism> tappi: it is controlled by /etc/update-motd.d/98-reboot-required
[23:39] <trench> Marker_: you will find the info on http://www.ubuntu.com/
[23:39] <bastidrazor> tappi: sudo chmod -x /etc/update-motd.d/98-reboot-required
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> trench: reboot takes a few minutes on production servers, this is more than acceptable
[23:39] <Egyptian1019> pressing esc is not going anything still just a blinking cursor and shift then pressing e is also not doing anything
[23:39] <Egyptian1019> doing*
[23:39] <tappi> thx
[23:40] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: are you getting a grub menu, so that you can choose XP?, if so, does XP boot?
[23:40] <Ubunter> Once i hit the "Preparing to install" It doesnt do anything? i hit forward and it just keeps loading thing on my mouse
[23:40] <trench> ActionParsnip: we pay for it at work to support the prosject
[23:40] <trench> project even
[23:40] <tappi> it's not that rebooting itself was costly
[23:40] <Egyptian1019> No im not getting a grub menu at all. Did i need to set that up during installation?
[23:40] <bcj> Does anyone know how I can find out where my bluetooth device is?
[23:40] <tappi> it's that in order to reboot i need to contact a person running the virtual servers
[23:40] <bcj> /dev/???
[23:40] <Egyptian1019> I select the harddrive to boot to through the motherboard
[23:40] <Ubunter> iv eran Ubuntu 9.Somthing AND 10.04 and now i try installing the new one and it loads up and stuff but Once i hit the "Preparing to install" It doesnt do anything? i hit forward and it just keeps loading thing on my mouse
[23:40] <tappi> because they have a hack, and it doesn't reboot automatically
[23:40] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: it should have done it during installation... you said you're running two hard drives, right?
[23:40] <trench> Egyptian1019: yeah because you want to boot both drives
[23:41] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: do you know how to change your boot sequence in the BIOS?
[23:41] <Egyptian1019> yes
[23:41] <Egyptian1019> what order should i have them boot
[23:42] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: whichever hard rive is currently "second"  change it to first
[23:42] <KM0201> you might have put grub on the wrong disk.

[23:43] <Egyptian1019> ok currently the harddrive with ubuntu is first ill switch it to the other one though and try it
[23:43] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: ok.
[23:43] <bcj> trench: Nope :(
[23:43] <KM0201> !md5 | Ubunter
[23:43] <Guest15675> why did my nick change to Guest ?
[23:44] <Ubunter> KM0201: ive also tried installing linux mint also
[23:44] <KM0201> Guest15675: well, probably because your other nick was either in use, or registered by someone else.
[23:44] <Ubunter> and i get same problwm
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> trench: throwing it no my fileserver now, worth a chuckle
[23:44] <Guest15675> i have a question
[23:44] <Egyptian1019> now its just booting straight onto my XP HD
[23:44] <Guest15675> is ubuntu the best linux OS ever or is there another one ?
[23:44] <KM0201> !best | Guest15675
[23:44] <trench> Ubunter: you trying it with software senter?
[23:44] <trench> to udate that is
[23:44] <Doinkle> Guest15675, goto offtopic for that question please
[23:44] <trench> ?
[23:44] <Doinkle> #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:45] <Ubunter> trench: what is that?
[23:45] <Ubunter> tranch: software sender?
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> trench: the ksplice thing
[23:45] <Guest15675> why not ?
[23:45] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: ok... now, switch it back to the other drive, and just let it sit for a minute, and see if it eventualy gets to the ubuntu desktop
[23:45] <Guest15675> what are u talking about here then ?
[23:45] <KM0201> Guest15675: because this is a support channel.
[23:45] <Ubunter> right now im running off the live CD (trench)
[23:45] <GeekSquid> Guest15675: you are asking a very biased crowd, there are literally 100's of linux distros, ubuntu is only one of them, and it is all a matter of opinion
[23:45] <trench> Guest15675: it's all about taste
[23:45] <Doinkle> this is a support channel Guest15675 , respect that
[23:46] <Guest15675> well i am new at linux
[23:46] <Guest15675> yesterday i ve installed ubuntu 10.10 to my laptop
[23:46] <Guest15675> it seems quite simple
[23:46] <GeekSquid> !enter | Guest15675
[23:46] <Guest15675> everything i need installed
[23:46] <Ubunter> Guest just go back to winblows
[23:46] <trench> Guest15675: it's a good thing right?
[23:46] <KM0201> Guest15675: fire up that awesome search engine called Google.. and do some searching.. you'll find a million opinions on what is best, this isn't the place for that discussion
[23:46] <Doinkle> uhh, you've been politely asked to take this elsewhere Guest15675 ....
[23:46] <Guest15675> well it is very simple basic OS
[23:46] <trench> Ubunter: you are in 9.0 now?
[23:46] <Guest15675> and it s good yes
[23:47] <Ubunter> right now im in Linux mint (trench)
[23:47] <Guest15675> trench are u live or bot ?
[23:47] <Ubunter> trench: the newest one
[23:47] <Guest15675> real or bot *
[23:47] <trench> Guest15675: I'm in Norway ;P
[23:47] <Guest15675> so what is that Linux mint ?
[23:47] <Haqqkcb> Anyone on an andriod phone
[23:47] <kostkon> !ot | Guest15675
[23:47] <Guest15675> is there any other OS interesting ?
[23:47] <Jordan_U> Guest15675: Please move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic. This channel is only for Ubuntu support.
[23:47] <Ubunter> GUEST!
[23:48] <Ubunter> I GOT A PERFECT DISTRO FOR YOU!
[23:48] <Haqqkcb> Irc on my phone how cool
[23:48] <trench> Guest15675: www.linux.org check there
[23:48] <KM0201> lol
[23:48] <Ubunter> Guest15675: download arch linux and have fun :)
[23:48] <Guest15675> why do u tell me to leave here ?
[23:48] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: any luck on the ubuntu hard drive eventually booting?
[23:48] <Egyptian1019> alright ill do that now. I am able to get through if i have the CD in the drive. Once it asks me if I want to try ubuntu or install it if I just X out of the installation it loads ubuntu. but without the cd is when it gives me the blinking cursor
[23:48] <KM0201> Guest15675: because your issues are not support related, and as stated, this si a support channel, not a discussion channel
[23:48] <GeekSquid> !guidelines | Guest15675
[23:48] <Egyptian1019> its currently waiting at the blinking screen but its only been about 30 seconds
[23:49] <Ubunter> trench: im running the linux mind live cd. The newest one
[23:49] <trench> Ubunter: okey
[23:49] <Guest15675> what about ubuntu ?
[23:49] <Guest15675> what do u think about it ?
[23:49] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: ok...
[23:49] <NixGeek> I have a question, am I right to complain if i'm paying for dsl and getting about 100kb/s?
[23:49] <Ubunter> Guest15675: Ubuntu is Okay =/
[23:49] <nathrakhi> Hello everyone, I just installed a old version of ubuntu (9.10) and when I try to update it (it uses Finnish mirror/server) it gives 404 error and fails. How do I change mirror/update other way?
[23:49] <zakwilson> Guest15675: "Which distro is 'best'" is off-topic. This is a high-volume channel so off-topic chatter is discouraged. It's also a technical channel, so "what do you think about Ubuntu?" is off-topic.
[23:49] <trench> Guest15675: i have it on 200 servers at work so i kind of like it :)
[23:49] <Guest15675> just ok ?
[23:49] <Guest15675> hmm
[23:49] <Ubunter> Guest15675: Good for new user i guess
[23:50] <Ubunter> Guest15675: pretty user friendly
[23:50] <Ubunter> trench: go on?
[23:50] <trench> Ubunter: so you have ubuntu 9 installed?
[23:50] <trench> or?
[23:51] <trench> and want to upgrade?
[23:51] <trench> or what is the dead?
[23:51] <trench> deal even
[23:51] <FloodBot4> trench: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:51] <GeekSquid> !enter | trench
[23:51] <trench> sorry ;P
[23:51] <Ubunter> trench: i have ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop but im running Linux mint live CD right now and it wont go past the 1 step..
[23:51] <Fraser> hello all i have a prob when I or a prog changes the screen res it throws me back to the log in screen ? any ideas
[23:51] <Egyptian1019> If there is not GRUB menu would you suggest reinstalling?
[23:51] <Jordan_U> !mint | Ubunter
[23:52] <KM0201> Egyptian1019: well, you can install just grub, did you try putting grub on a separate partition, or what?
[23:52] <Ubunter> trench: okay... i also used the ubuntu 10.10
[23:52] <trench> Jordan_U: he got ubuntu trouble and is in Mint to fix it :)
[23:52] <trench> Ubunter: - from cd or usbkey?
[23:52] <NixGeek> Egyptian1019: reinstalling ubuntu, no, reinstalling grub, yes.  look at this guide, number 13: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> Ubunter: linux mint isn't supported here
[23:52] <Ubunter> trench: CD
[23:52] <Egyptian1019> No for the installation process i chose the option to erase data and install ubunto then selected the harddrive and let it do the rest
[23:53] <trench> Ubunter: try an usbkey cds fail more often
[23:53] <Ubunter> All: Linux mint and Ubuntu 10.10 have the same install window... and are stopping at the same spot for me...
[23:53] <trench> ActionParsnip: he want to have ubuntu
[23:53] <trench> Ubunter: what spot is that?
[23:53] <trench> tell some more about the error please
[23:53] <nathrakhi> I try to update 9.10 to 10.04 but the finnish mirror fails, any help?
[23:54] <Ubunter> Trench: prepraring to install
[23:54] <trench> nathrakhi: try another mirror?
[23:54] <Haqqkcb> Should I use p3 450 512 l 2 cache 390 ram or p3 6oo 256 l2 256 ram
[23:54] <trench> Ubunter: what does it say in the console window?
[23:54] <nathrakhi> that's the problem, I don't know how to. This is my first hour of using linux/unix whatever
[23:54] <Marker_> Hi what version of the GPL is Ubuntu Under? The Ubuntu website doesn't say directly what version of GPL it uses.
[23:54] <PsPhaKeR_> I need help bringing back the bar that is on top of the screen
[23:55] <speedxcore> Hi, I'm looking for some kind of historic tab completion. Example, I like to type cp + something? and then get a list of previous cp commands I've typed. Ideas?
[23:55] <philip__> I want to install maverick onto a RAID1 array. I followed the Software RAID guide, but after creating the array, the installer says there's no / partition to install to. Any ideas?
[23:55] <Jordan_U> Marker_: Ubuntu is a collection of many software packages all with their own licences.
[23:55] <Ubunter> trench: nothing... it just stay on the console window  and keeps my cursor on Loading...
[23:55] <hermano> boa noite pessoal
[23:55] <Kenzor> speedxcore: try using ctrl r in the terminal
[23:55] <PsPhaKeR_> I need to restore the taskbar
[23:55] <Kenzor> that's similar to what you are describing
[23:55] <hermano> como posso ajuda-los
[23:55] <GeekSquid> !es | hermano
[23:55] <trench> PsPhaKeR_: have you deleted it or hidden it?
[23:55] <speedxcore> Kenzor: I try
[23:55] <Marker_> Jordan_U how is one supposed to know what license to use if one Remises Ubuntu?
[23:55] <PsPhaKeR_> I deleted it, on acident
[23:56] <PsPhaKeR_> can I restore it through the terminal?
[23:56] <bastidrazor> !panel | PsPhaKeR_

[23:56] <bastidrazor> !panels | PsPhaKeR_
[23:56] <Jordan_U> Marker_: You look at the licence of whatever you revised.
[23:56] <hermano> alguem sabe português
[23:56] <GeekSquid> Marker_: Include the origional licence for any package you use .. that is a requirement of anything GPL
[23:56] <trench> !es hermano
[23:57] <Kenzor> speedxcore: you can also keep pressing ctrl to cycle through the results
[23:57] <Kenzor> ctrl r*
[23:57] <hermano> not espanhol
[23:57] <PsPhaKeR_> thanks :)
[23:57] <hermano> yes português
[23:57] <GeekSquid> !pt | hermano
[23:57] <Marker_> Jordan_U Geelsquid Indeed, but i want to release it under the LGPL, I just need to figure what license it is before hand. Ubuntu itself has one i can't find.
[23:57] <trench> GeekSquid: you beat me too it :)
[23:57] <hermano> thanks GeekSquid
[23:58] <Ubunter> trench...
[23:58] <Jordan_U> Marker_: There is no single license for Ubuntu.
[23:58] <philip__> I want to install maverick onto a RAID1 array. I followed the Software RAID guide, but after creating the array, the installer says there's no / partition to install to. Any ideas?
[23:59] <Doinkle> does the installer see any part of the array?

[23:59] <hirogen> any mma fans here
[23:59] <hirogen> ?>
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> !ot | hirogen
[23:59] <hirogen> ok
[23:59] <philip__> Doinkle: the installer still only lists /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
